Whoo, that was a long break . . . 4 days! (I'm starting this the Monday after thanksgiving, even though I haven't posted the first chapter yet . . . Don't kill me!)

Chapter 2

The Wedding

"God, I hate weddings!" Duo flopped onto the bed.

"Don't let Little Dasia hear you say that, or she'll have a hissy fit." Naheka flopped next to him. "The little angel is getting married . . . They're such a cute couple! We also taped some embarrassing moments, so everything is set!" She stood up, stars in her eyes.

"That doesn't change anything . . . Wait a minute, what did you tape?" Duo eyed his sister suspiciously.

"Oh, nothing, really . . ." She said innocently. TOO innocently.

"God, you didn't . . .!"

"Well, we did push them together a couple of times . . . And got a few mushy talks as well . . ."

"NAHEKA! You didn't leave her alone, did you?" Duo sat up.

"Of course not! I am a Maxwell, aren't I? Besides, she's too cute to pass up a chance to record!" She was smiling mischievously.

"Naheka?" Aubrey's voice came over the PA.

"Yeah? What is it, Aubrey?"

"I can't find AIMEA. She's disappeared from all of the sensors."

"Maybe she shut down?"

"No, I can still feel her consciousness, but it's dark . . . Little Dasia says she left shortly after I talked with her."

"Hmm . . . I'll look into it. Duo, keep your eyes open for anything suspicious. And Aubrey, if you find anything we need to see, warn us, ok? And keep the scanners for outside online. Just in case."

"All right. I'll let you know if anything happens. I'll be surfing somewhere in the system if you need me." The line clicked.

"AIMEA, missing . . . This could get pretty bad . . . Hopefully, it's just a glitch."

"Naheka, you don't think . . .?"

"No, we would have heard missiles going off if they were here. Aubrey is also under lock and key, with about 20 passwords on locks and the like. Air ducts in her vicinity were destroyed, so no one can sneak in through there without running into some UOD's. And AIMEA's prime directive is to protect Aubrey, even if it means destroying the base."

"Gee, I feel so comfortable now . . . The base could explode at any minute, and we would all die."

"Baka!" She slapped his head. "Aubrey would send us a warning before she let AIMEA destroy the base! You know that!"

"Ow! That hurt!" Naheka walked out of the door, then turned around. "Bring your friends to the chapel by 16:30. I want to start early."

"Yeah, yeah . . ." He muttered, still rubbing his head. "16:00 hours now . . . I could give them a quick tour before we get to the chapel . . ."

"Well? Are you going to take us, or do we have to tie you up and listen to you scream?" Wufei and the others appeared at the door, surprising Duo.

"GAH! Don't scare me like that! Sheesh . . ."

"Well? This uniform isn't warm, you know. It's cold in here."

"It is? I never noticed. Why aren't you wearing the jacket, then?"

"This? It's too small."

"OH MY GOD! LILIAN! YOU CAME!" They heard a squeal. Duo sighed.

"Guess she came back with Rel . . ." Duo stopped in mid-sentence. Heero looked at him funny.

"With who?" Quatre asked.

"LENA! MISS RELENA!" Heero almost fell, but no one noticed.

"I hope she forgot about last month . . . I am so dead otherwise." Duo walked out, the others following at a distance.

"DUO! Where have you been!" Lena yelled when she saw him. Duo gulped as she came over to them.

"Guys, how about we go this way?" Duo sped off in the other direction.

"DUO! DON'T YOU DARE RUN FROM ME!" She ran after him.

"Heero? Everyone?" Relena saw them. Heero didn't look at her.

"Miss Relena, you know Duo's friends?"

"Little Dasia! Did you forget?" Lilian knocked on her head.

"Ow! Forget what?" Lilian whispered something in her ear. "Oops! I did forget! You know the pilots through . . . business . . . Why did Lena chase Duo away?" Lilian sighed, hand on her forehead.

"You are so forgetful, Little Dasia. Remember last month, soon after Aubrey's . . . accident?" Lilian said carefully.

"You mean, when he had a blank face and then laughed at Lena when he thought she was joking?"

"Yes, baka!"

"Oh . . . she's still holding it against him? Naheka already beat the crap out of him a billion times because of that, isn't that enough?"

"You know how much Lena protected Aubrey, which is more than we can say about her idiot brother . . . Damn her family for being such bloody cowards! Anyway, you're not ready just yet! We need to put on some final touches before we take you to the chapel!"

"OK! Oh, Miss Relena, could you take the others to the chapel, since Lena chased Duo away?"

"Sure, Little Dasia. I'll be glad to." Relena nodded to the boys to follow her.

"Are we the last ones to find out about this place?" Trowa asked.

"No, not really. I found out by accident, because I thought I noticed Little Dasia acting strangely around those girls a few months ago. They made me swear I wouldn't tell anyone."

"Relena, does your brother know about this place?" Quatre asked quietly.

"No, if he did, he would be here, but Little Dasia didn't like him, so he wasn't even invited. Not that many men were, come to think of it . . . Naheka and the others don't trust them very much, especially after a month ago . . ."

"That girl, Aubrey, right? What happened? Duo just said she got herself beat up and is in a coma around here somewhere."

"I think Naheka or one of the others should tell you guys. They're the ones that really know everything that happened." Relena smiled and led them down a few corridors. "The chapel is this way. Is that . . . no, it can't be . . ."

"Isn't that that girl, AIMEA? Is something wrong, Relena?" Trowa asked.

"No, it's nothing. They told me they had a new member, but I didn't realize . . ."

"Senator Relena, I need your assistance. It seems there is a sensor malfunction in this area, and I cannot contact Naheka, or anyone else." AIMEA walked up to them.

"A glitch, you think?" Relena asked. AIMEA shook her head.

"A glitch would have been reported immediately, and taken care of. I believe someone has snuck onto base without the wish to be detected."

"Surely you don't think it's . . .!" Relena started. AIMEA nodded.

"I believe it is."

"How far are the sensors knocked out?"

"In a large enough radius to knock out the chapel, as well as the research facilities."

"The research facilites! But that's where . . .!"

"Affirmative. The UOD's are also missing from the vicinity."

"AIMEA, can you find Duo?"

"He's over here!" Lena dragged him by the ear. "AIMEA, Duo said you were missing."

"The sensors in this area have been tampered with."

"WHAT! 'Tampered'? SHIT! Those bastards!"

"Could someone explain what's going on?" Quatre asked, and the other three pilots nodded, confused.

"Relena, I'll go down to the labs. Lena, could you let me go?"

"Fine." She let him go. "I'll go get Naheka. AIMEA, are you going down to the labs as well?" AIMEA nodded. "Good. Relena, take the others to the chapel, and alert the rest of us to the situation. Let the guests know that everything will continue as planned. Don't let anyone get suspicious about what's going on."

Naheka-

"Naheka, can you hear me?" Aubrey's voice came over the intercom. Naheka was in the control room.

"Yeah, go ahead."

"A whole section of the sensor grid has blacked out. I think AIMEA is in that area. Also . . ."

"Where's the blackout?"

"Around the chapel and the labs . . ."

"Yes?"

"I only noticed because I was checking up on Senator Relena, and she and the pilots disappeared from all sensors."

"Is anyone else aware of this?"

"Hey, Lena just appeared . . . I think she does, because she's heading your way. Let her know that you know about the sensors, but I didn't tell you who. I need to check something . . ."

"Aubrey, wait!"

"Oh, did she tell you?" Lena walked in.

"Yeah, but she didn't tell me who . . ."

"It's them. Even AIMEA thinks so. She went with Duo down to the labs, and Relena is taking everyone to the chapel. She's gonna let the rest of us know what's up, and keep the guests calm."

"Shit, I knew I should have kept a tab on that satellite that Rin found earlier . . . Let me check the intercom, see if it works . . ."

"It doesn't Naheka, I've already tried it. I can transfer over to AIMEA for a short while, but that's it. And even she can't tell me exactly what's wrong. I've changed her defensive output to 75 for now, and she'll only hear Duo's voice, as a precaution. I gave Duo the code for her to recognize other voices, but I'm hoping he won't have to use it."

"Did Duo report any music?"

"Negative, but he's keeping his ears open. Kinda hard, what with all the humming . . . Hmm? What's this?" She seemed interested in something.

"Hey, Aubrey, care to share the treasure?" Lena asked.

"Treasure it is! Ooo, I like this . . ." The screens in the control room flickered.

"Aubrey! Cut that out!"

"Hold on, I almost got it . . . This is fun! Okay, here it is!" Everyone in the room gasped at the picture that was shown.

"Aubrey, that's . . .!"

Chapel-

Everyone that was there stopped talking as the computer booted up, a video playing.

"Hey, Naheka, when do you think Duo's gonna be back with his errand?" A little girl, with red hair, of about 4 asked. Her voice was cute.

"I dunno. Big Brother always takes forever! I wish I could go with him . . ."

"Hey, what are those?" The girl with red hair got up and pointed.

"Everyone, get inside, quickly!" The nuns gathered everyone inside. Everyone, that is, except the girl with red hair, who wouldn't budge.

"Aubrey, come on! We gotta get inside!" Naheka yelled.

"Aubrey, please, be a good girl and come inside!" A nun begged her (The same one that braided Duo's hair).

"Midenta goza." Aubrey's voice was deep.

"What?"

"Midenta goza. Tomdei zona!" Her body glowed fire red.

"Aubrey!" Naheka ran over to her just as a bomb landed.

"Kore dam nai!" (btw, she isn't speaking Japanese) Fire erupted protectively around the three, sheltering them from most of the blast. Aubrey was in a defensive position, arms in front of her face. The shield grew higher. The video crackled, and then came on again. The shield had fallen, and the girl with black hair was holding Aubrey, crying.

"Hold on! I'll get you somewhere safe! I promise! We'll find Duo, too!" She picked her up, Aubrey's arm around her neck.

"Naheka . . ." The nun croaked.

"Yes, sister?"

"Your brother left . . . to steal something . . . if he comes back, I'll . . . let him know . . . where you went . . ."

"Thank you, sister! Are you sure you'll be all right?"

"I'll make it . . . to tell . . . Duo . . ."

"All right!" The video crackled again. The guests were whispering. The pilots were staring at what they had just seen. (They saw the whole thing) The video came to life again, this time a security camera.

"Naheka, are you sure we can trust those old geezers? They don't seem very trustworthy . . ." An older version of Aubrey appeared.

"They said they trained them, and one of them raised Duo after the church was attacked. Put your grudge for guys aside for now, would you? Come on, before OZ figures out who we are!"

"Too late!" The door opened and the two girls backed away as several men filed inside. "You're looking for the Gundamn Pilot? Well, you ain't gonna find him! Search the room for others!"

"Nothing to report, sir!"

"Good. Leave these two to me. Stay beside the door, and wait for my orders!" The men snickered as they exited the door.

"Now, which of you should go first?" The man put his gun down on the table. (It's a type of machine gun) The camera caught Aubrey eyeing it. "I know, let's do names first. I'll just have to go in alphabetical order with you two, though you do look young."

"Yo, brat! I told you to call me an hour ago! Why the hell can't you obey a simple command?" Aubrey's watch cackled.

"I would if I could! Leave me alone!"

"Don't make me play the song." The voice was murderous.

"Who you talking to, pretty? Don't make me throw that little communicator away." The man advanced. Aubrey jumped over him and grabbed the gun. Stupidly, he paid attention only to her, not to Naheka. She pinched his pressure point, and he silently fell to the floor.

"Play that song and I kill you the next we meet!" She pulled the trigger, shooting all of the men standing outside through the wall.

"Are you playing with guns again! Why the hell can't you be a normal teenager!"

"You try getting away from OZ silently!"

"Those lies again? Can't you come up with something better than that?" A song started to play in the background. "Don't say I didn't warn you."

"Aubrey!"

"I know!" She threw the gun to Naheka and yanked the watch off. Naheka shot at it until it was nothing but a heap of metal. "You'd think they were deaf! I told them I couldn't call!" The video cackled again. All of the guests were talking about what they had just seen.

"Why are those videos playing? They were supposed to have been destroyed!" Rin ran up behind them.

"You mean all of that actually happened!" Trowa asked.

"Yes. Aubrey was born with a great power. Her family abandoned her, then, when they realized that a simple song could control her, they 'welcomed' her back. That person that was talking to her through the watch was her older brother."

"Rin! Anybody! There's trouble! The UOD's have been reprogrammed, and they're firing on AIMEA and Duo! He's been shot, and I can only help hold them off for so long! AIMEA can't hold them off without destroying the base!"

"Aubrey! Can you hear me? Where are they?" Rin yelled. Everyone looked at her, and the pilots stared, disbelieving.

"Three corridors from my . . ." The link was cut off.

"Three corridors . . . no, not there . . . DAMN IT!" She ran out. After a quick glance, the pilots decided to follow her. As she ran down the hallway, she stopped at a door and jammed the button. Inside, they saw her grab a semi-automatic and a machine gun, then continued running down the hall.

Going Under, by evanescence playing over and over and over and over (You get the picture)

"How the hell do these people know all of our keys!" Rin yelled as she started shooting at the machines on the floor.

"What are those things?" Wufei asked as he started shooting.

"UODs!" Rin shouted over the gunfire. At his questioning look, she elaborated. "Unknown-Organism Destroyers! They keep intruders out, especially when we want something to be under high security!"

"Like a person in a coma?" Quatre asked.

"Nice of you guys to notice!" Duo stated from the floor, holding his left shoulder.

"Duo! Are you all right?"

"Fine, thanks. Yeah, they're supposed to keep intruders from getting to Aubrey."

"Okay, if she's in a coma, how come we heard her over the intercom earlier?" Trowa asked.

"It's one of her powers!" Naheka said as she ran up, shooting the UODs. "She can link up directly to the computer as long as her body is alive. She can't do this when she's conscious. Damn it! AIMEA, how many more are there?"

"There are currently 1,000 heading our way from the lab."

"Why did I insist on making so many?" Naheka asked herself.

"I told you this might happen! AIMEA, can you detect the EDADs?" Rin asked.

"All are currently hybernating. Only Aubrey or myself can activate them." She replied.

"At least we did something right." Naheka muttered.

"Leave some for me!" Little Dasia joined them. "I got Aubrey's call. Where's Midnight?"

"Midnight? Wasn't she in the chapel?" Naheka asked.

"Prior to this emergency, Aubrey detected a presence entering the area. My scans revealed that presence to be Midnight." AIMEA responded.

"Can you detect her now?" Naheka asked, worried.

"Affirmative. She remains unharmed in the labs. She appears to be hissing at something."

"Hissing?"

"Hey, Naheka, were you planning on keeping me away from the fun?" Lilian joined up with them. "So, Midnight's hissing? That can only mean one thing."

"Yo, Lilian, when were you planning on saying 'Hi' to me?" Another girl ran up.

"Did the whole base hear us?" Naheka asked.

"No, but all of the alarms are going off, and 'Twilight' is playing."

"All right, Jojo. Where are the rest?" Naheka asked the newcomer.

"Evacuating everyone, then they're gonna head this way." Jojo replied.

"Can someone please explain to us what's going on?" Wufei asked.

"Later! AIMEA!"

"These are the last UODs. Affirmative. Lowering output to 10."

"WHAT! AIMEA, what the hell are you doing?" Naheka and the other girls yelled.

"I have been ordered to lower my energy output to 10 to prevent myself from harming any of you. That is my new Prime Dircetive."

" 'Prime Directive' . . ." Heero repeated. Naheka cursed.

"AIMEA stands for 'Anti-Infiltration Multiple Efficiency Android'. Aubrey made the blueprints and started to build her, and we finished her a couple weeks ago. Aubrey can access AIMEA whenever she wants, but we're not sure how. We don't even know what all AIMEA can do."

"That makes sense." Quatre said.

"AIMEA! Are we clear?"

"Affirmative." A weird noise came from AIMEA. "I don't have much time! Midnight can only bite so many people at once!" Another weird noise and AIMEA was normal again. "Affirmative. Scanning . . . Sending code . . . Completed."

"AIMEA?"

"Special code sent to the siblings of Midnight."

"They won't make it in time . . . Let's go, and don't get shot! Little Dasia, take Duo upstairs and try to find a way to reverse the effects of the poison!" Naheka ordered.

"Okay. Duo, come on, it won't stop bleeding until we bind it." She led Duo away.

"Poison!" Wufei asked.

"It doesn't kill, it just keeps the wounds from closing, and bleeding only stops when the wound is tightly bound."

"Your invention?" Wufei asked sarcastically.

"No, not ours. The bastard that put Aubrey in a coma . . . That's why she can't heal, even with her powers." Naheka explained as they ran down the corridor.

"Naheka, look!" The door to the lab was opened. They looked at the tube where Aubrey was and gasped. She was gone, and in the corner was . . .
