~III~

Duo checked his gun one last time before glancing at the other pilots. . .his buddies. If you could call them that. . .

Quatre and Trowa were up in Sandrock's cockpit, supposedly to fix something. Duo grinned.

'I know what you're DOING. . .' he sang in his head and sighed as he caught sight of Heero packing his laptop in a small backpack. 'Shessh! You'd think he's going on a trip or something. . .'

Wufei was polishing his sword. "You never know when you might need another weapon" was his excuse to bring it.

Quatre and Trowa stepped out of the cockpit and jumped down to face their friends. Heero looked their group over.

"Alright, let's go. We'll stick together the whole time. No use getting caught separated or anything. . ." he said, tucking his gun into the back of his shorts before moving towards the small metal overhang that was the entrance to the lab.

When they reached it, Heero brought out his laptop and tried hacking into the system to get the door to open. Duo just brushed him aside and picked the lock open. Heero glared at him when the door opened in less than a minute. Duo just grinned.

The went in, the metal corridors suspiciously empty. Empty that is until they came upon a lone scientist that tried to shoot them. Heero reached for his gun and shot him between the eyes. They'd had no choice. . .

As they moved on again, Quatre's vision began to swim. A voice rang in his head, asking for help. He fell to his knees and held his head. Trowa rushed over to him and the whole group stopped.

"Are you okay Quat?" he asked. Duo and the others came nearer, wondering what was wrong with Quatre. Even Heero. . .

"Yeah, I'm fine," Quatre said, gripping Trowa's arm to help him up. He looked around at his friends and took a few steps forward.

"If you can make it then let's go. We have to finish the mission," Heero said and he walked ahead. Duo followed him, shaking his head.

'This place feel's weird. . . Like I should know something about it. . .'Duo thought. They came to an intersection and took their time deciding which way to go.

'Damn. . .We should take the right one. . .'he thought. Out loud he said, "Guys, take the right one. There's something in the room at the end of the corridor."

Wufei, Trowa, Quatre and Heero stared at him.

"What?" Duo asked, noticing how they were looking at him.

"How do you know that?" Quatre asked.

"I dunno. I just do. . ."

"Let's go then. . ." Wufei said. They turned right and walked until they reached a huge metal door at the end of the corridor.

"How do we open it?" Quatre asked, looking at the door. It didn't have any handles or anything. Just a black square on the wall beside it. Duo walked up to the wall and put his hand on the black thing. It flashed red then green before turning blue. A siren sounded, much like the one when the suits were self-destructing. And the door opened, all seven layers of metal.

Wufei's eyes bugged out at what he saw when the steam cleared. The siren had stopped when the last metal layer had opened. Tubes. . .Huge tubes with a strange blue liquid in it. The room was huge and was lined with the tubes.

But that wasn't the reason that Wufei's eyes had bugged out. People. . .Or rather, parts of them. Chest, head, arms and legs. All of that floated in the many different tubes.

They went in and Duo gasped. . .just as Quatre collapsed on the floor.

The pilots didn't know where to turn. . .Finally, they decided that Quatre needed their help more. Duo could handle himself. At least, that's what Wufei and Trowa thought. Heero just stood still.

Duo couldn't believe it.

'After all these years. . .' he thought, approaching the very last tube that sat next to a big lab computer. There was a girl in it, barely dressed with an oxygen mask over her nose and mouth. Her long hair floated in the blue water and her hands had wires tied to them.

He came forward and touched the glass with his right hand, the palm wide open. The glass glowed and it opened, splashing blue water all over Duo and releasing the girl. She fell forward, the wires from her hands disappearing.

The others raised their heads and gasped. Duo removed the mask from the girls face and caressed her face, tucking her bangs behind her ears.

'Megumi. . .' he thought, looking at her face and long blue hair.

'Brother. . .' came an answer, ringing inside his head. He smiled, the tears falling down his face as the others looked on.
