Gundam Wing: Dancing the WALTZ
Transmission Six: The Worst Kind of Torture


"I repeat, destroy anything else belonging to WALTZ then I will not hesitate to destroy Earth and the Colonies," Marquise smiled lazily as he rested his finger on the big red button on his desk.

"Heero?" Duo asked the leader of the pilots.

"Retreat..." Jo said stated, rather than suggesting.

"What? Woman are you insane?" Wufei growled.

"Chang, if you do not shut up, I will start screaming obscene phrases at you," Ling rubbed her temples as she spoke. Needless to say Wufei shut up.

"Thank you Ling..." Mau sighed.

"We don't have much choice, we retreat," Heero called to the others. They others except Wufei, did not question what they were told. So ten MS sped away leaving the Twilight to stare after them.

"His liege?" Trinity called to him over her private link with him.

"Report back in," Marquise called back, "Take a breather."

Back in the Peacecraft's main hanger the ten pilots regrouped to think out their next plan. Of course they were hopping the next plan would be more of a success. Alas, Wufei was not worried about the next plan but the plan that COULD have worked had they attacked, and he was still going on about it.

"Why did we pull back?" Wufei asked exasperatedly, "That easily could have been a bluff!"

Heero snapped and turned to point a finger at Wufei's nose, his voice was a low growl, "We can't take a chance! What if it wasn't a bluff? Then what? We say ops? I don't think so Chang." It was times like these he wished he could take a gun to Wufei's temple and kill him. What was stopping him, his own conscience? Now Wufei was silent, his jaw was slightly ajar.

"Now, then that means we need a new plan," Duo joined Mau on a couch.

"I've been thinking about that," Jo stated as she leaned against a wall with her arms crossed.

"And?" Ling asked, she was still a little shaken up by the appearance of her dead sister.

"And what?" Jo asked nonchalantly.

"The plan! What do you have in mind you imbecile? For once I'd like to know the whole plan!" Ling wailed wildly, her patience had been worn thin by Jo's high and mighty attitude.

"We sabotage their project," Jo said unmoved by Ling's high-pitched wails, "Attacking manufacturing plants, Command stations, and other areas important to their mission."

Ling, now satisfied, plopped down in a couch a little ways away from the main group, Jade then spoke up, "So when do we start?"

Heero spoke up, "How about tomorrow, We'll each have a different area. We're all big boy's and girls, and we can take care of ourselves."

Duo got this sinking feeling deep in his gut, "So like we're gonna be in pairs right?"

"Were you not listening? He said alone!" Jo scolded him coldly. Duo gulped and nodded numbly.

"In more news, the Gundams have been confirmed. Although we are unsure of who they're fighting for, the Colonies and Earth both claim alliance with them."

Hilde sighed as she nursed a warm cup of coffee, "Duo, please stay safe."

Morning came and Heero was ready to pass out assignments to all his fellow pilots. Of course the leader, known as 01A, had stayed up into the wee hours of the night finding important places to become their targets. Jo walked by on her way to the kitchen for food as Heero was standing in the doorway. He caught her arm; "Here's your assignment."

She took it with a bagel in her mouth, "Anks."

"Report in by twelve hundred hours," he said as he grabbed some hot coffee and toast.

Deathscythe waited cloaked outside of an MS manufacturing plant, Duo was hesitant to actually attack. Since last night his stomach had been tied in knots and if he ate anything he felt extremely sick. As it was, he had two hours till his report time and he hadn't moved a single bolt.

Sighing he knew he had a mission and he had to complete that mission, so he readied his weapons and uncloaked, "Here goes nothing."

He attacked the guard with his swift movements, catching them highly off guard. What surprised Duo was how quickly they regained their guts. It seemed for every one that he cut down, three more appeared. The odds were slowly rising more and more against him. It wasn't long before his attempts at anything were just plain futile. Then a channel opened and a man's voice came over his audio channel.

"Gundam, Surrender! We have got you surrounded! You have Two minutes to make p your mind."

Duo cursed and began to type wildly across a screen. He couldn't allow Deathscythe to fall into enemy hands; he would have to disable all the systems. There wasn't enough time for that. That left the self-detonation device. He opened up a channel before the two minutes passed, "This is Gundam Deathscythe, I am ready to give my self up. Hold your fire!"

He opened up his cockpit and hit the self-detonation button. When the cockpit opened fully, Duo launched himself like a bullet from his seat and jumped. He landed on his feet and then darted off running. He heard shoats of alarm as he ran off. He never looked back, the only thing he saw was the on coming of foot soldiers, and he was up a stream without a paddle. There was a large rumble and the earth shook violently as Deathscythe wen up in flames. Then all was black.

Wufei jumped over a fence and landed soundlessly on the ground, he darted behind a bush and watched the guard pass by. His dark onyx eyes studied the layout in front of him; the parts manufacturing plant was heavily guarded by foot soldiers and anti-Gundam missiles. Two wonderful reasons to go in by foot.

He had decided to set up bombs within the plant that meant he had to get in without being detected. Wufei smiled as a guard walked up in front of his bush. Very silently Wufei stood up; he raised his hand back and struck the back of the man's neck. He limply feel back into Wufei's arms. When Wufei emerged he was dressed in the man's uniform. He walked calmly towards the base bombs in his pocket.

He managed to go around the base with out much trouble; he had set up all of his bombs and was getting ready to celebrate for a mission well done when a hand fell on his shoulder. Wufei stopped and asked, "What can I do for you sir?"

"You can come with me, you are under arrest."

Wufei did not hesitate; his elbow connected with the man's mid-drift. The hand fell away from his shoulder as Wufei's captor doubled over from pain watching Wufei dart away. As the doors to the compound opened Wufei had to jump back as gunfire erupted. He had to dance around before he could find an opening to start running. Wufei suddenly felt pain; something had got the back of his knee, and was sending him on a fast trip to kiss the concrete. He let out a little shoat of surprise, and then darkness took over his sense as his noggin connected with a hard substance leaving his body with out a mind.

"My liege!" Trinity and Kirstain ran into Marquise's office.

"Yes?" He asked them, his face be in look of calm surprise.

"We have two Gundam pilots in our custody!" Kirstain said quickly, both girls were beaming.

Marquise stood up and patted their shoulders, "My girls, that is the best news I've heard all day! Bring them to me!"

"But, sir, we can do the interrogation..." Trinity spoke up.

"That won't be necessary, I want to question them."

"Of course, my liege," Kirstain bowed after slipping Trinity a look.

Dhirdre plopped into a chair with a soda in her hand; her mission had been a success. Heero had just gotten back from his own mission, for a mission complete he look pissed... or was it worry? She ventured to ask what was bothering him, "Heero? What's bothering you?"

"Duo and Chang! That's what's bothering me! They have yet to report in!"

She was about to try and soothe his worries when Trowa ran into room, "WALTZ has Duo and Wufei..."

##

When Wufei came around he didn't register much of anything until he winced from the pain in his skull and behind his left knee. A groan escaped his lips as he tried to move. Another shocker, he was tied to a table.

"'Fei?" Duo's voice called out, "That you? I can't see a bloody thing!"

"Maxwell? Good gods... We've been got," Wufei faced in the general direction of Duo's voice.

With an all too cheerful voice came all too bright lights. They flooded the room and cause the two boys eyes to close in pain; "Luck must be with me today!"

"Who?" Duo asked as he tried to move his hand to block the light, he too then found he was chained to the table.

"I'm glad you asked, but, I won't tell you my name unless you tell me who you are."

"Is that fair?" Duo blinked and tried to the source of the voice amongst the light, "I mean, I asked first!"

"Yes it is!" the voice chimed. Wufei looked up to find a man smiling down on him, a hand resting on his shoulder. The smile grew wider; "Luck was running with me today. You all are such wonderful specimens."

"What's THAT supposed to mean?" Wufei questioned, his voice betraying him by cracking. That hand just patted Wufei's shoulder. Marquise moved to where his lips lingered beside Wufei's ear, "My little dish, you will find out momentarily."

Wufei's head snapped towards the voice, his eyes wide. The man winked and went to play with Duo's braid.

"What do you want?" Duo asked, he was feeling very threatened by this man. A chuckled followed that question; it drowned out Duo's fidgeting.

"I want to know were all you're little friends are, I've been wanting to meet them."

"Why don't I believe you?" Wufei growled. Marquise moved back to hover over to Wufei a soft palm wrapping around Wufei's jaw, "Don't make me defile you my Onyx Dragon."

Wufei's eye grew very big and Duo let out a little squeak, "Y-you-you're... a- a-a-a...fag!"

"Now, now...I won't do anything unless you don't give me what I want."

"We'll never betray our friends!" Duo shouted. Marquise shook his head and let go of Wufei's jaw, "Then you leave me no choice."

They heard the dropping of a fabric behind them; it was then that Duo began to struggle frantically against his bonds. The light turned off leaving the three men in one room in the dark. Wufei listened to the struggle Duo was attempting to put up; there were whimpers of fear and little 'no's that echoed through the room.

"Gods..." was all Wufei could manage to say.

End Transmission...
