1x2

--------------------------------------

Duo rode at around a hundred miles per hour. His chestnut braid whipped wildly behind him and he weaved in and out of traffic hoping that he wouldn't be too late to save Heero. Reaching the exit he slowed down and went onto the off ramp.

Duo passed the guarded entrance and went a couple of miles past the base. Finding an empty parking lot Duo pulled over and parked his motorcycle in a hidden corner. Slowly Duo slid off the seat of the bike and lifted his shirt. The bandage that had covered his stomach wound was soaked with blood and coming off on its own. Duo peeled the useless thing from his body letting it fall from his hands onto the pavement. It made a squishy sound and Duo grimaced before tearing his shirt into a strip and tying it around his abdomen. The bleeding subsided somewhat and so he checked his shoulder. The gauze was covered with blood but still useful so Duo let it be and began walking toward Oz.

-------------------------------------------------

Relena entered the room as Heero was attempting to stand and smiled to herself. The boy was rubbing his head and the blonde couldn't help but think his actions cute. Walking up to the table near the middle of the room Relena set down the leather bag she was carrying. Heero took it upon himself to ignore the girl and began checking himself for injuries. It surprised him that he felt no pain in his back; for he was positive he had been shot several times. A loud clank brought him from his thoughts and he looked up to see the blonde who had captured him taking various items out of her bag and setting them on the table. His eyes widened as he saw the long whip lying across the table. Protruding from the whip were dozens of little metal spikes. Heero saw handcuffs and chains among the items and surmised that the best bet was to stand his ground and not to let anything affect him. The brunette stood with his back erect and didn't move an inch as Relena advanced on him, whip in hand. Relena laughed at him and cracked the leather whip so that the thwack sound thrummed through the room.

-----------------------------------------------

Duo used the stealth that Chaos had and hid it the shadows near the entrance of the base. Patience was added to the list of Duo's new characteristics and so Duo waited for almost an hour without moving. Then a massive truck came up to the gates and Duo took his opportunity to get in the base. Hopping in the back of the truck Duo concealed himself under varies items and he braced himself as he felt the truck start to move. Once the truck stopped Duo quickly got out of the vehicle and looked over his surroundings. A frown formed on the boy's face, the base was massive how the hell was he supposed to find Heero? Suddenly an idea formed in Duo's head and an evil grin formed on his lips.

Finally Duo came upon a large building that read 'Oz Headquarters'. The teen knew this is where Heero was and began toward the front door. Slipping into the shadows he wiped the sweat that was gathering at his brow and crouched down to the ground. His chest glistened, but the passing soldiers did not notice and so he edged slowly toward the door.

Relena smiled as Heero hung from chains attached to the ceiling. His feet dangled barely scrapping the floor. His body was raw with red marks where the blonde had whipped him vigorously. Her attempt to break her pet though had failed and the boy stared definitely back into light blue eyes. Anger filled her and she grabbed hold of her brass knuckles. Spikes decorated the edges and she brought her fist back for a surprisingly powerful blow. Heero coughed blood, but his head never bowed in defeat, his stare unwavering. She was about to bring her hand back for another blow when a flashing light went off and the screen on the sidewall went up. The picture of a boy squatting outside this very building could be seen she couldn't make out the boy's features. Then she spotted it, the long braid that dangled behind the shirtless intruder. She swiftly shut off the screen before Heero had a chance to see who had breached her walls. She smiled as yet another sadistic idea formed in her mind.

"Dorothy, Zechs, Treize. I need you in the front, not." She said over the intercom.

------------------------------------------------------

Reaching the entrance Duo creaked open the door and quickly shut it. Turning around he was greeted by three smiling people. Duo, recognizing the girl, immediately started to form his power. The blonde smirked at him and he shot purple light from his hands toward the bleached blonde girl that stood between two tall men. The light flashed across the room but the girl had already moved from her spot and was now standing in front of Duo.

"Now that wasn't very nice. You should know your victim before you attack. It's only polite you know. Well my name is Dorothy. And you must be Duo. I thought we had left you for dead. Oh well." Dorothy disappeared and Duo felt a stinging pin on his back. The girl stood back in her spot between the two men and she tugged on one of the men's sleeve. "Help me out Zechs."

The platinum haired man smiled and nodded before they were both gone, leaving the tall auburn haired man standing alone.

The three people in front of him laughed at his futile efforts to fight back. The one girl, Dorothy, was much too fast for him and he ended up with long gashes across his chest and arms. Zechs, Duo had found out, had the ability to become invisible so unless he kept moving, Duo had no chance of avoiding the man's attacks. The last man simply stood and watched the other two and Duo had to wonder if the man was very weak or very strong. Duo groaned as yet another gash formed on his stomach. He doubled over in pain as a blow landed soon after on top of the fresh wound. His shoulder wound, which had stopped bleeding long ago, opened and Duo felt the new skin-forming rip apart. The feeling sickened him and he watched the bandage fall to the floor exposing the vulnerable flesh.

A blow landed hard on his shoulder wound and Duo coughed blood before falling on his knees. Duo closed his eyes and waited for the deathblow that was sure to come. A good minute passed and he heard the opening and shutting of a door. Duo looked up, blood trailing down his chin, to see the blonde woman who had shot him enter the room. He spat on the floor in front of him and the girl gave him a warm smile.

"Hello Duo. My name is Relena," the blonde said with a sweet voice.

"Where the fuck is Heero you son-of-a bitch!" Duo screamed pulling himself slowly to his feet to stand with his left arm gripping his stomach and his right hand trying to stop the blood from spilling from his left shoulder.

The girl smiled sweetly, "Oh, don't worry dear. Heero has front row tickets to your slow and painful death." The girl giggled softly and the door behind her opened. A soldeir walked in pulling a piece of thick rope. Behind him, attached to the rope, was the thrashing body of Heero Yuy.

The captured boy was dressed only in his baggy jeans and blood caked his exposed chest. Bruises covered the boy's arms and Duo could see massive puncture wounds in the shape of a fist in the center of his friend's stomach. A sickly green color surrounded the wound and slowly faded to blue. Heero stared coldly at Relena and Relena stood beside him with that sick, sadistic smile on her face. She walked behind Heero and pushed him to the ground before pressing her foot on his head and grinding the boy's face into the floor. Heero thrashed wildly, but it was no use, the woman could do anything she wanted to him. She bent down over her prisoner as he stopped thrashing and pulled is hair so that he looked forward.

Heero's sapphire eyes went wide as he stared at Duo. Blood was pooling around his best friend's body and his eyes showed the pain he was in. Duo locked eyes with Heero and Heero realized that his friend was going to die. Anger rose in the pit of Heero's stomach and the electric power started to flow through his body before pain shot up from his ankles at an overwhelming intensity. He couldn't keep his eyes open any longer and though he struggled against the blackness that was invading his vision he eventually fell into unconsciousness.

Duo looked over Heero's limp form in front of Relena and couldn't stop the anger that poured out of his body. As he looked over Heero's bound and broken body and could not contain his anger. He fumed, his blood boiled and he averted his gaze from Heero to stare at his enemies.

Chaos, Pandora, and Duo could think of nothing but death, long, painful death to the people before them.

Purple light shot from Duo's body and a black rob wrapped around him, covering his many wounds. Duo stood still as a powerful change enveloped his body. The braided boy could feel power pulsing through his body, but then he felt something strange, something that he knew wasn't supposed to be there. Looking down, Duo saw his right hand twitch involuntarily. His eyes widened and then all there was pain, blinding pain. Duos felt as though him arms were being ripped off very, very slowly. The black clad teen bit back a scream and gripped his arm. The four figures suddenly stopped their attacks and watched as a wooden stick came out of Duo's hand. His skin as ripped and it inched its way out as if to purposely torture Duo. The stick stopped coming out when it had reached about five feet in length, but the four mutants watched in confusion as Duo fell to his knees and screamed in sheer agony. The purple light surrounding him suddenly turned pitch black and Dorothy took it upon herself to finish the fight when her opponent was obviously in a weakened state. Her approach was unseen by the boy on the floor, but his screaming seemed to intensify as all but Dorothy saw the metal scythe that slid out of his palm. To Duo the pain seemed endless and the three figures standing in front of him watched in horror as thick plum colored blood flowed from Duo's. As the curved metal finally finished exiting it seemed to carve a mark on Duo's palm. Duo raised himself from the floor; scythe in hand, only to find himself standing face to face with Dorothy with only the tip of Dorothy's sword separating them. The blond chuckled insanely as she pushed the sword against his exposed neck where the robe dipped. Before, though, she could plunge the sword into the boy's jugular Duo's eyes peered deep into Dorothy's own and the girl couldn't stop the scream that escaped her throat.
