Zera Divinity Winner looked defiantly into the faces of the five most powerful men in the war corporation known as OZ, the Alliance's greatest adversary in the war for power between the Earth's sphere and the colonies. For the past two years, Zera had work for the colonies as a spy infiltrating OZcorp. She had forced her way up the corporate ladder and had quickly become the second most powerful leader in the system, but now she had been found guilty of treason after attacking HQ in her personal Gundam, Nova, along with the help of the other five Gundam pilots. Now she stood waiting, bound and beaten, but not broken, before these five men awaiting her punishment. She had been told that if she would tell the names of the other five pilots and how they could be found, that she would be pardoned and allowed to go free, but Zera knew better than to believe a single word of it. As soon as she said the names, they would first kill her and then they would go after the boys.

"Tell us the names of the other five pilots!" the leader demanded of her, as he pounded his fist on the table. Zera smirked at them in silence. He reminded her of a spoiled brat in a candy store whose mother wouldn't buy him anything. Unlike many soldiers, it would take more than just a beating to make her talk. Those other pilots were more than just some nameless fellow co-workers, she was very close to them, two of them were family (Heero and Quatre), one was her best friend (Trowa), and one was her boyfriend of the past week and a half (Duo). Wufei however was one that she still had to work with. (He still thought of her as a weak little girl that could do nothing correctly) They were her friends and she wouldn't give them up for anything. She looked carelessly at the five men in front of her.

"You five can go wrap your lips around an exhaust pipe, because I ain't gonna talk. They may not feel this way about me, but I'd rather suffocate myself than rat on my fellow pilots."

"As you wish, Miss Winner. You are to be executed by the slow and painful process of suffocation." The old man grinned evily at Zera and motioned for the guards. Suddenly, Zera's vision went black as one of the guards hit her in the head, knocking her unconscious. Then he threw her light frame over his shoulder like a bag of old clothes. The two guards in the back of the room followed him as he walked out the door to take her to the one cell that would probably be her last.

Trowa and Wufei followed the guard down the many hallways until they reached Zera's holding cell. They had followed so they could tell Heero and Duo where to find her so that the five of them could bust her out if it got to be a mess, and it had. They'd expected that she would be given a death sentence, but they never expected her to hold out as long as she did. What she had just done was more then they had seen only a few besides themselves do. They stopped outside holding cell 52 in cell block B5X-X2705. Anger grew inside of Trowa as the guard just threw Zera onto the bed-mat in the otherwise empty holding cell. How dare that guard treat his best friend like a pile of garbage, Wufei placed a hand on the other man's shoulder as the guard led them away from the cell.

"Let it go," he whispered "That's all we can do for right now," Trowa just looked at him and kept walking.
