Chapter Seventeen

Weeks have passed since the group had the harsh reality slap of what Raven had done a month ago. It is currently midnight, and very few of them are sleeping. The guilt lies heavily on none other than Quatre, Lin, and Heero, though he doesn't show it. A loud slam front the front door of the house caused Trowa, Heero, Quatre and Lin to leave their rooms. They quietly arrived at the front door to see a trail of blood leading to a room that none of the guys had seen before. Lin held them back from following the trail.

"She will come back out." was the only thing she said.

The person came back out, but it wasn't Raven. It was Marquis Rose. Heero glared at the guy who seemed so close to Raven. His hair was disheveled and his eyes were filled with worry. In his blood soaked hands he grasped a couple of strange card-like items.

"What are you doing with those Marquis?" Lin demanded harshly.

Marquis glared and was about to retort when he flinched back in a painful manner. His empty hand ran up to his shoulder and he massaged it.

"Look. Sorry I woke you guys up, but we have an emergency. Who ever wants to help, get them up and to Galaxy HQ in one hour. I will leave any tardy people behind." was all he said before walking out of the door, squealing tires following closely.

The small group went and roused up the rest of them. They explained what happened and everyone went to Galaxy Head Quarters.

"Panther, make sure to get the first person you find out to safety. We can't lose both of them." a guy with blonde hair informed the black haired man.

"Jacarei?" Missy guessed.

The blonde looked back and glared at them slightly. He shook his head and turned back to Marquis.

"Now look. We can't have the SF running because only Shade can pilot it. Take the SF2 and only five other people with you. The SF's can only carry seven people. If you screw this up Panther you are seriously dead." the blonde continued as if he hadn't been interrupted.

{Flash}

"Darkness......01. Stay away....don't come." a familiar voice rang through Heero's mind.

Zero, he asked himself.

"Yes.....please. Tell Marquis to stay. I can't have you guys here. I don't want you guys to...." her voice trailed off.

Zero, his mind demanded.

"No....they're coming....no...no, I don't want to. Stop....don't do that. Sorry 01." her voice began to trail off.

Sorry for what, he asked.

"Everything." was the simplest word that tugged at his heart.

{Flash}

"HEERO!" Duo's voice rang through his ears.

Worry filled almost everyone's eyes. He noticed he was lying on the ground so he slowly sat up.

"What happened?" he asked.

"Your body went rigid and you fell to the ground." Lia answered.

"How long was I out?" he questioned.

"Long enough. Let's go." Marquis ordered harshly.

Heero stood up and glared at him.

"We have to pick who is going." Missy pointed out.

"I say Soldier, Prince, Swift, Sparks and Silencer go." Lia suggested.

They nod in agreement with the genius and followed the black haired man into his black, jeep. Speeding out of the building's parking lot and down the street.

Marquis slammed on his breaks at some warehouse like structure. He walked up to it, the group following, and placed the palm of his hand on the large wall. A keypad appeared and Marquis took one of the cards and swiped it through, then typed a few numbers in. A doorway appeared about a foot beside him, surprising them.

The group slowly entered the warehouse. Gasps filled the air as they gazed at what sat within the building. A sleek, pure black jet sat in the shadows of the hanger. It looked as though it was as fast as the Gundams.

"Come on." Marquis said, going inside the sleek machine.

They followed his example and found a nice, cozy, cabin with seven seats, four on the left, three on the right. Marquis went up to the cockpit and swiped the another keycard. Typing a few numbers in the keypad the sleek jet roared to life as the engine began to run. The hanger opened and the jet shot off into the air and broke through the blue, protective barrier around the Colony.

Soon enough they passed Mars and found themselves on Earth. Marquis seemed to type something in and the jet broke through the heated atmosphere of the blue planet. The group in back gripped their seats as the jet shook from the pressure.

Marquis typed in something else and the jet righted itself and flew into the horizon. Slowing down when they came upon a familiar compound. Preventers Head Quarters.

Marquis jumped out of the doorway of the jet, the others following, and dipped in the brush where the sleek, black jet hid. He gazed at the compound.

"We need to infiltrate the compound. We are on a S&R Mission so we will NOT be destroying the base. Besides the fact that they have the Gundams hidden within the base, we cannot risk being caught." Marquis informed.

The others nodded, Heero glaring slightly, from being told to do something as if he was inferior, and ducked down seeing three soldiers walking by the brush.

"So where is Dr. J?" one asked.

"Talking with her. She brought us two instead of one, and actually brought him the very person he wanted to beat." the second one replied.

"I feel sorry for the blonde." the third one said.

Heero jumped out and tackled them, knocking them unconscious. He took one of them and switched into the uniform.

I can't believe I'm doing this, he thought. Why are we doing this?

He noticed Marquis handing the other outfits to Quatre and Trowa.

Change of Scene

Inside a cell, chained to a wall, was none other than Raven. Her hair was a mess and cheek was bruised slightly. The cuffs around her wrists dug into them harshly whenever she pulled against the binds. Usually she'd Jump out of here, but she can't. Her energy is really low, and her anger isn't high enough to push out her life energy. An red, dried up trail of blood traveled down the side of her chin out of the corner of her pure, ruby, red lips.

She looked up as the cell door opened and thrown into the cell was Panther, Swift and Sparks. Behind them stood Heero, Trowa and Quatre. Raven felt a feeling of betrayal come over her.

I told him not to come, she thought. I don't want them to see....

Her thoughts were cut out by a loud scream that filled the entire base. Her body tensed and she lunged against her binds.

"NO!" she growled out, blood rolling down her arm as the cuffs cut into her wrists.

"Shade! Stop it." Marquis scolded.

"NO! I CAN'T DO A DAMN THING STUCK HERE! I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS AGAIN!" she screamed out.

Heero, Trowa and Quatre were then pushed inside the cell, chains lashed out from the wall and wrapped around each of their wrists.

"Very good Zero, you brought the traitors back, well some of them anyways." Dr. J's cruel voice applauded.

"YOU BASTARD! WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO HER! IT'S ME YOU WANT!" Raven shouted out, eyes spitting with anger.

"Ah, but if I stop will you tell me the components to the Zero System?" he asked.

Raven stopped struggling and fell silent. Her eyes traveled to Marquis who looked back at her glaringly. Raven turned her glare to Dr. J.

"And exactly what do you plan to do with the Zero System? Give it to him?" she demanded.

"You aren't in the best predicament to be questioning my motives you traitor." he spat out, slapping her already bruised cheeks with the back of his hand.

The group watched as she stayed there, not flinching from the blow. Her glare darkened.

"You don't exactly have room to talk. You are messing with her, and I happen to be protective of her. You also happen to be angering the only person who can give you the components to the system." she glowered.

Another familiar scream sounded throughout the base, causing Raven to finally flinch.

"Oh well. I can be very persuasive." Dr. J bite back.

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU, YOU BASTARD!" she yelled out, lunging against the binds again.

"Not if I kill you first." a new, colder voice snapped.

Raven tensed up as everyone looked up, gasping at the figure standing behind Dr. J. Marquis and Raven's eyes turned to the ground, as everyone else's widened with disbelief. Gazing at the familiar blonde standing in the doorway.
