Chapter 2: The Gundam Pilots Reunited

The TV was on. Not like you could really hear it though, there was a radio on right next to it turned all the way up. The neighbors three blocks away could probably understand the words of the song being played, and the fact that it was Hard Rock just made it all the louder. Not that Duo really cared. At the moment he was deep in the middle of repairing the jamming system to Deathscyth. He had removed it to fix a malfunction. His mind told him that once it was fixed it wouldn't go to use, but his heart was forcing him to do it anyway. Just in case something did happen he wanted to be prepared. Who knew when the talents of the Great Shinigami would be needed again?

So he had half the pieces to the partially dismantled device strewn all across the table he was working at.

"So that's the problem…"Duo picked up a partially fried computer chip and brought it up to look at it more closely, which brought his attention to the television which briefly came into focus because it was directly behind the chip in his line of sight. He stopped and turned his attention to the moving pictures and realized it was the news.

"What the hell…." he got up and turned the volume to the radio all the way down so he could hear the television. He had a really bad feeling about what he was seeing.

"Breaking news that was just received; The Crowned Prince Teolyn has gone missing! Authorities reported that the young Prince has evidently been missing since at least midnight last night. His High Consul, Jarin, reported the Prince's absence. Authorities have publicly announced that they believe he was take hostage by a Rebel Faction calling themselves New OZ. They are believed to be the remains of the destroyed OZ organization…" after that Duo stopped paying attention to the news anchorwoman. He had gathered all the information he had needed. Slowly he turned to regard his dismantled jamming system.

"Guess I was right. Better go find a new chip," one thought entered Duo's mind as he turned the radio back up to full volume, one which brought a grinAfter that Duo turned and left to find a new computer chip for Deathscyth's jamming system, a huge grin on his face the rest of the day.

Slowly Quatre picked up his violin with a deliberate grace and positioned it comfortably on his shoulder. He actually had free time, something he hadn't had in weeks (being the head of the Winner family and all it controlled was no easy task) and he planned to spend it as he liked. So he played. He played to his hearts content, finding some solace in the lovely melody he was weaving. That was, until he was interrupted by one of his many secretaries.

"Master Quatre?" the woman said trying to gain his attention. Reluctantly Quatre stopped and turned to the woman. A strained smile was all he could muster after being so interrupted.

"Yes?"

"I have an e-mail here for you from a Mr. Heero Yuy. Would you like to read it now?" the woman asked while holding out a folded piece of paper.

Quatre's heart nearly stopped. Something was wrong. Why hadn't he noticed it before? His soul was uneasy and had been for the last few days, a sure sign trouble was to come, but he'd been to busy to listen and now it may be too late…

"I'll read it now thank you," he replied calmly when in reality he was anything but calm. If it was one thing Quatre knew, it was how to hide emotions like fear. They seemed only to get in your way.

The woman handed the paper to Quatre then left as he unfolded it. Slowly Quatre read the e-mail.

"It's worse then I feared," he said quietly. "So Prince Teolyn is missing, supposedly a hostage," he thought the scenario over in his head as he read the last part of the e-mail, directions to a secure meeting place. "At no cost can his life be jeopardized. He's too important to the future of peace for that," Quatre said to himself. "It's going to have to be a stealth operation," He gave one last look at the e-mail then folded it and put it in his pocket. Moments later his violin was away safely in its case and he was out the door and down the hall.

After receiving news of Prince Teolyn's kidnapping Heero had thought it best to contact the others. They were all going to be needed if the Prince was to be rescued. But there was just one problem with that, he'd have to see Duo again…

Heero quickly put the thought out of his mind as he entered the control room of the abandoned resource satellite he had designated as the meeting place. He entered cautiously, knowing that another had beaten him there.

The other young man in the room was looking at one of the computer monitors with a look signifying he was quite bored.

"As usual you are here as if you materialized out of nothing," Trowa commented as he turned his attention easily from the monitor to Heero. Heero merely nodded in response then came over to see what Trowa looking at. The monitor was slowly cycling through live images from all of the security cameras. At the moment there was a picture of a long corridor; one Heero has snuck through only moments before. "All the others are here as well," Trowa added as he watched Heero closely.

"All?"

"You bet," a voice Heero recognized all too well chimed form the doorway. Slowly he turned to see another young man who had auburn hair and violet eyes. A dead giveaway was the black clothes; Duo.

Luckily the other two Gundam Pilots, Quatre and Wufei were just behind him. Heero was relieved, but wouldn't show it as all three entered at once.

"So what's the plan?" Duo asked, looking to Quatre for the answer.

"Stealth," was Quatre's soft reply. He had spent the entire trip there working out the details and now he had a fully fledged, probable plan. "I believe I've located the base of operations used by this 'New OZ'," Quatre explained as he inserted a disk into one of the main computers. Moments later there were schematics to an abandoned OZ military base on the main monitor. "It's an old OZ facility in the Mediterranean,"

"That's awfully close to the Capitol. Shouldn't someone have noticed them by now?" Duo asked as he looked at the small map showing the bases location (which was on the island of Crete) in the lower left corner of the screen. The new Capitol of the Earth's Sphere was Athens, only a short span of water away.

"Yes, they should have," Quatre replied. He had noticed that as well. "There's only one explanation for that."

"An inside job," Trowa commented. All nodded to that.

"But who?" Quatre asked. He hadn't been able to resolve that question.

"It could be the Prince himself." Wufei answered. "I would be the perfect set-up. Advocate peace so that everyone lets their guard down and then come in with an army and conquer them all."

"Unlikely," Heero responded. "It's not in his character."

"Maybe he knows," Duo put in suddenly as a thought struck him. "The Prince I mean, he probably knows who the traitor is. He's not an idiot after all right?"

"No, he's not," replied Quatre.

"Then when we save his butt we can ask him."

Quatre nodded. "Ok, so here's what we're going to do…"
