"Let's see..." Viper mumbled, inserting the disk into a laptop, "Damn...I have
to hack through again; god, why do these evil guys always put such good
defense on their files?"
"Maybe it's because they don't want their plans found out?" Kyoro asked from behind.
"Shut up"
"Make me"
"Sometimes I wonder why I put up with you..."
"It's 'cause you love me"
"In your dreams...go away, I have to concentrate"
"FLAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" a voice screamed.
"What the hell?" Viper grabbed the disk out of the laptop and stood up.
"Run" she ordered. Kyoro obeyed, shaking slightly with fright. The sight that met him when he got out there was sickening. Soldiers from UOC were mercilessly beating up his friends, the people he considered his family. Even the younger ones, barely over the age of four didn't get any mercy.
"We got another one here!" a soldier yelled. About ten more soldiers came out of nowhere and crowded around him.
"So where you going kiddo?" one of them asked him. For some reason, the others found it incredibly funny.
"You guys must have the worst sense of humor...EVER!" Viper said coldly, jumping down in front of him. Her hair was tucked up under a hat and she was wearing a black jacket. A pair of Capri pants was worn over her shorts.
"Think you can beat us, little girl?"
"Think? I know I can beat you fucking losers" she grabbed a couple of throwing knives out of her jacket and threw them while turning on her heel in a full circle. She hit all of them either in the throat or the chest. Kyoro stared, amazed.
"What? You think I'd rebel against the most powerful force in the universe right now and not know how to fight?"
"Flame..." Kyoro said, eyes widening slightly. Viper turned around to meet the face of Ryo.
"So you're Flame," he said in an oily voice, "Well, you're coming with us..."
"Who says I won't kill you first?" she growled.
"Well, if you kill me, my men will kill him..." he indicated behind her. Kyoro was at the mercy of the soldiers, one who had a knife to his throat and the other, a gun pointed to his chest.
'Damn this damn conscience...' she thought as she put her hands up to surrender.
"I knew you'd see it my way" he cuffed her hands and tied her feet together. A soldier picked her up from the ground. Ryo looked over at Kyoro, "Kill him" he said. Viper's eyes glowed red with anger at what he just said.
"WHAT THE HELL?! YOU LITTLE MOTHER FUCKING BASTARD! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" she swore loudly when she heard the gun shot. Kyoro dropped dead among the other corpses of her friends.

Quatre almost choked when he heard the news. So did everyone else in the room; Heero, who had come back that day, Sakura, Paine, Duo, Wufei and Blade.
"And today, UOC has announced that they finally caught Pyro, pilot of gundam 0-6 who has caused the destruction of many UOC bases in the month after UOC came to power. Due to the pilot's rebellion against the new order of power, the execution of this outcast will take place at 1600 hours today...and in other news..." Quatre clicked the TV off.
"At least we know where she is now..." Quatre said.
"But it's already 2:45!" Sakura yelled hysterically, "We only have one hour and fifteen minutes to get her out!"
"So we act quickly" Quatre said, quickly thinking up of a plan, "Duo and Heero will go in to get her; Blade will get into the control room to feed them a loop; the rest of us go in our gundams"
"Roger!" Everyone said, getting up except Duo.
"Who the hell is Roger?" he asked himself.
~* * *~
Viper had gotten her hands free. But only after she had been tortured. She hadn't really counted on Ryo being part of UOC...and damn...his torture techniques were something even her powers couldn't heal, especially not right now. Freezing her insides, then burning them, and then using electricity to jolt her wasn't her idea of merciful and it definitely wasn't going heal very quickly, even with the help of her powers, which weren't doing much right now. Her healing powers only extended to healing broken bones and bruises and such, not something like icicles insides of her freezing her to death.
"So Pyro is really a girl..." a girl about her age came up to the cell. She had straight red hair with green eyes hidden behind a pair of glasses, "Interesting..."
"And who the hell are you?"
"Katia, second in command to Colonel Ryo"
"I am SO impressed..." Viper snapped at her sarcastically.
"Shut your damn mouth"
"Make me..."
"Don't make me come in there"
"If you did, I'd have you dead on the ground in a second" she threatened, staring Katia straight in the eye. Katia looked stunned, then huffed off.
"Great...now that she's gone..." Viper smirked. Somehow, she had been able to read Katia's mind and knew exactly where the hidden camera was. She glared at it, setting it on fire, then took out a lock pick and began to work on the lock, ignoring the pain that rushed through her body with every movement. Finally, the door swung open and she jumped into the vents, waiting for the executioner to come.
~* * *~
Heero and Duo ran to the hall where they assumed Viper was kept; in the most guarded area of the base. There, they saw a familiar looking black- haired girl sitting in a cell and then they heard the gun shot. The boys looked at each other in horror, well, Duo did anyway, and the executioner chose that moment to turn around.
"Hey, what're you doing here?!" he yelled.
"You just executed a good friend of ours..." Duo cracked his knuckles menacingly. The executioner stepped backwards and back into the cell where Viper's body was. Heero took out a gun; tired of the time they were wasting and shot the man in the leg, crippling him. The man crumbled to the floor, clutching his leg.
"Wow...aren't we Mr. Sunshine?" a voice drawled from above them. Viper hung upside down from the ceiling, her legs in the vent.
"Viper...but...you..." Duo kept looking between the dead Viper and the real one, "I'm confused!" he whined.
"When are you not?" Viper asked, "What the fuck are you doing here anyway?" Heero noticed that except for the comment about sunshine or whatever, Viper was basically full out ignoring him, which meant that she was still pissed off.
"Saving your ungrateful ass" Duo smirked.
"Um...in case you hadn't noticed...I don't really remember you rescuing my from my cell; more like you killing the executioner 'cause you thought he killed me..."
"Um...well...shut UP!" Duo said, "The others are outside...we'll get you into the shuttle and then we'll head back"
"And what makes you think I want to go back?"
"I dunno...do you have anywhere else to go?"
"No, but-" Viper was cut off when Duo grabbed her arm and dragged her into the shuttle. She took it as a sign that he wasn't going to take no as an answer and settled into a chair.
"Guys, we got her," Duo said into an earpiece.
"Roger" Quatre's voice said and Viper saw that their gundams were taking off with Altron II cutting the base in half with its beam saber and the base exploding. One thing she missed seeing, was another shuttle, taking off into another direction.
Viper jumped out of the shuttle and landed on the ground. A burning pain suddenly pierced through her leg and she fell.
"Damn it..." she muttered trying to get up. Someone helped her up and she turned to see Heero.
"Get the fuck away from me you heartless bastard!" she yelled and walked off.
'Yep, she's definitely still pissed off...' Heero thought, scowling slightly.
"Trouble in paradise?" someone asked. He recognized it as Kitty's.
"Mind your own business kid" he grumbled.
"I'll find out anyway" Kitty shrugged.
"When did you decide to come back anyway?"
"Today..." she said, shrugging again and ran after Viper.
"DUO MAXWELL, COME BACK HERE YOU INSOLENT LITTLE FUCKER!" Paine ran after Duo who was screaming hysterically waving a sword at him.
"What'd he do now?" Wufei grumbled.
"He 'accidentally' spilled pink paint all over the leg of her gundam and now she's trying to get him to wash it off"
"Baka..." Heero commented, heading for his own room.
~* * *~
Viper was in the kitchen, drinking some sake when Kitty walked in.
"Viper!" Kitty hugged the black-haired girl.
"I really need air..." Viper choked out. Kitty grinned sheepishly and let go.
"C'mon, I'll take you to your room" she said and Viper followed the bouncing girl up the stairs.
"Did you have sugar today, Kitty?"
"NO!" Kitty insisted unconvincingly. She crossed her arms, "It's amazing how you're in emotional despair and you still manage to see my hyperness..."
"So you did have sugar...what emotional despair?"
Kitty glared at her, "Don't deny it...you don't call your boyfriend a heartless bastard without a reason"
"Mind your own business and he's not my boyfriend" Viper snapped at her. They heard a shuffling outside the door. Viper put her fingers to her lips and crept silently over to the door and opened it. Paine, Duo and Quatre fell into the room.
"Uh...hi Viper..." Duo said nervously. Viper glared at him.
"Um..." they tried to find an excuse. Blade walked by with Wufei.
"How dishonorable...spying on people..." Duo glared at Wufei.
"I agree" Blade said, "So dishonorable..."
"Did they...just agree on something?" Paine asked.
"Hn" Heero walked by, "They did"
"Now that you're here, maybe you two would like to explain something..." Duo grinned and turned to Viper only to find that she had slammed the door shut.
~* * *~
Relena nearly spit out her drink when she saw the news that night. She had been in the process of tricking Heero to come over to her place but her plans were crushed by the six o'clock news.
"Today, UOC has announced that despite their best efforts, Pyro has escaped. We now have information about this gundam pilot. She was believed to have been helped by the gundam pilots 0-1 and 0-2 out of her cell. It seems Pyro has the aids of all the gundam pilots and now UOC officials say that they are even more intent of capturing her now..."
"Looks like I have yet to keep you away from Heero, Viper" she mumbled to herself.
"Maybe it's because they don't want their plans found out?" Kyoro asked from behind.
"Shut up"
"Make me"
"Sometimes I wonder why I put up with you..."
"It's 'cause you love me"
