Disclaimer: Please R & R. Pleeeeeeaaaaaaaassssssse Somebody anybody review. I know its school, maybe even finals for some, but please take at least five seconds out of your reading time to review. I'm trying to make my story somewhat parallel to Niko's so some scenes might be the same as some of hers or very similar, but not much.

Gundam Wing Episode 14 *The Capture* 11:39am

Seven pilots enter a familiar building filled with people. Sally and Daga decided to stay behind. It had changed a bit, but they all remember it well enough. A place they all too well remember. All five originals, but one had been prisoners in this very place only it was called something different. The Lunar Base.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Museum of the Last War. Here you will tour an actual base as well as see a few cells used, watch films of the war, and much more." says a woman with silver eyes wearing a blue business woman suit. Her hair mimicked her eye color with the utmost efficiency as it rested on her shoulders. If you look carefully her eyes tell of a bloody past.

A man stood next to her wearing a suit of the same color as hers. His eyes and hair however were an eerie gold color that would make anyone gawk in awe for at least a few seconds, long enough for him to beat you to a pulp or turn you into a pun cushion.

"If you'd please get into groups we can start our tour and everyone will get to see all that we offer here." Hearing this, the pilots casually split up into separate tour groups.

Wufei watches as his comrades get underway. He goes over in his head the map plan of the building in which Quatre had brought with him about two weeks ago. At the same time, he gets a bad feeling. He knew Sophia when she gets fed up with people who annoy her. She'd try and make sure they'd feel they were no match for the foes she was fighting by giving them one of the hardest places to hit. If they got in easy, he knew it's going to be hard as hell to get back out, again. He starts off as his tour guide begins to lead the pack. He gives the impression of being interested, but his mind was elsewhere.

~~~~~Flash~~~~~

Wufei came from the side room. Seeing Wufei, the cloaked figure slowly removed the hood from his head. "Sophia?" They stare at each other as Sally entered from the side room.

~~~~~Flash~~~~~

It might have been only a momentary stare, but something in her eyes told him her long fuse had been lit. He moves again with the group to another exhibit.

*****

Prussian blue eyes stare blankly at the exhibits unimpressed at the so called clay replicas of the gundams. They left out some small details. They were good but to him it wasn't good enough for him. "Heero" he turns to his platinum blond comrade who motions toward the staff only door which was conveniently by a bathroom. While a small film that showed the gundams fighting, they snuck off pretending to go to the bathroom.

It resembles a regular small staff room. There's a round table in the center that would easily hold six chairs in the center. Draped over it is a long black tablecloth that seemed to touch the floor on all sides. Against the wall is a fridge that stood next to a small microwave and sink. A coffee maker sits on the other side of the sink. They look around and finally notice a door to there left. Heero goes to the door, but stops when Quatre hesitates. "What's the mater Quatre?"

"Haven't you noticed; there aren't any covalence cameras around." He looks around the room a bit confused then looks at Heero. The door knob turns when Heero touches it. Both, dash out of sight, Heero behind the door and Quatre under the table. Duo walks through the door.

"Duo" he turns looking at Heero surprised. Hearing Duo's name Quatre comes from his hiding place.

"Duo, how did you get here before we did?"

*****

This is too easy Niko think to himself as he enters a darkened room. He takes a few steps forward to the control panel. It was just the normal take down the few guards protecting the entrance of the area. Simple enough, as always boring, what I need is a challenge. He turns grabbing the kid behind him who looked around seven or eight. "There's no way you're getting any closer to that panel!" the little boy says his eyes glowing bright green eyes.

"You do know you're the one captured right." The sound of scurry feet and squeaks around him then many sets of glowing red eyes appear. "You guys have a bad rat problem."

"I know." The boy says happily as his rat tail shoots toward Niko's neck like a needle. He drops the boy avoiding the attack. Niko's eyes adjust to the dark of the room. "You're not getting away that easily."

"AH!" Niko's head jerks back. He reaches back and grabs hold of his ponytail turning. A little girl with rat ears and tail had a hold of his braid in her mouth. He falls to his knees when he felt his foot pulled out from under him by a rat tail. His arms are rendered useless by numerous tails that holding him in place. He struggles soon turning into a two way tug of war. There's no way I'm going to be captured by a bunch of rats.

A kid around Niko's age walks up to from behind. His long rat tail drapes on the floor like a long strand of thick spaghetti. "Bowing to your king so soon," he laughs at his own so called joke. "You humans are so stupid. You actually thought you could in this place without being caught. You should have stayed and enjoy the history of the Last War like every other oblivious human here."

"Ha, King" Niko looks up at the guy and says smugly. "More like Rat King." Furry rises in his green eyes. In a blur his long tail whacks Niko in the back of the head and everything goes black.

*****

The door to what looked like a large conference room opens slowly. A tall young man with familiar deep green eyes and lifeless face looks around. A woman in a lab coat stands with her back turned to him beside a cart full of tubs of wide-ranging colored liquids. She turns looking carefully at a tub of purple liquid. "I'm afraid you might have the wrong room. The register room is upstairs."

"Sorry I got lost. Can you point me in the right direction?"

"Sure, the register desk was to the left to where you came in, but you would have known that if you wouldn't have snuck in. Trying to show off your skills to us." she digs in her lab coat pocket and pulls out a pair of glasses. She looks at Trowa for the first time then picks up a second test tub and compares it to the other one.

"Thank you." He takes a hard look at her a moment as she walks over to a small cocktail table beside the door.

"If you make it through screening you'll see me again. You'd be a great lion splicer." When she approaches the door she says calmly, "Your friends are being caught as we talk, you know."

*****

"So, you're here too, huh. I don't like to gloat." Duo says smugly, "Anyway you're just in luck. I have something interesting to show you guys."

"What did you find?" Quatre asks interested.

"It's hard to explain really. You have to see it to believe it." Duo reopens the door. "Follow me." The door leads to a long hallway of stairs. Heero continues forward, but something about Duo seemed strange.

*****

"I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about."

"Come to think of it I could use you." She dashes to the door before him and then closes the door and leans on it. "You can test out a new serum that I invented. Like I said you'd be a wonderful lion splicer." She walks up to him as though examining him. She wraps her arms around his neck then whispers, "Tell me all you know about Fox and Sophia Dragon and I'm make the process painless because you'll have to get through me to get out."

Her eyes change from human to lizard. Trowa pushes her away in time to save his nose from being snapped off. He backs up as she changes in front of him. An unusual high pitched screech escapes from the jaws of a T-Rex reaching its normal adolescence height. As the T-Rex charged he jumps out of its way. It chases him around the room. Its thick tail knocks over the cart of tubs shattering many. He lands on the couch waiting a moment. As she came closer he jumps off it at last second and she trips on it landing on her side.

He sees something in the corner of his eye as he starts on his way down. Then like a blur it comes out of nowhere and slams into him. Instead of landing like he was suppose to he goes crashing into the wall behind him like a homerun baseball. He slides down the wall and for the moment not moving. While struggling to get up someone lands in front of him.

"I'm surprised you're still conscious after that blow I dealt you." The girl move locks of hair out of Trowa's face and a smile crosses her face as the stomping of Rex Feet behind her. He could see her arm connected bat wings. Her dot black eyes look up at the Rex looming over her. "I think this guy would be the perfect Ginny pig."

*****

"They've changed this part of the base considerably." Duo stops at one of the cell doors. He takes what looks like a card from his pocket. "I've found why they don't have cameras in this place and I think it might interest you, Mr. Winner." The door opens and he starts to go in, but the others don't causing him to stop. He turns looking at them. "What's the matter you guys."

"Duo. what's my name?" Duo looks at Quatre stunned at his sudden interest about his name.

"Quatre" Heero glances at Quatre trying to figure out what he was doing.

"And his?" there's a pause.

"Heero, why"

"What's the name of our leader?"

"Hey, what is this you guys?" Duo says looking at both at them confused. "You don't trust me."

"Answer the question?" Heero says harshly. A look of annoyance also crossed his face a moment.

"Can we just go in please?" he says avoiding the question. Heero answers his question with a punch in the nose. Duo doubles back holding his nose. His bangs cover his eyes. "You're going to pay for that." His eyes open to the glow of yellow. He wipes the blood from his nose as Heero and Quatre take out guns.

"Show your true colors." The Duo imposture begins to change. His hair grows longer soon pilling up on the floor, but grew a bit shorter. However he stayed the Duo look alike.

"Sorry, I don't show people who I am and I'm not starting now." A smile crosses his face then a sudden whoosh sound. The guns are knocked from there hands. "Try and shot me now." He runs at them then grabbing them both by the neck slams them into the wall. "Now who should I be this time?" He looks from Heero to Quatre but his eyes rest on Heero. They both try and remove the strong grip from their necks but it was no use.

Suddenly Heero's eyes grow large and he grits his teeth. "Heero. what are you doing to him?" Quatre could see the pain in his eyes. Soon his hands drop to his sides. "Heero!"

*****

Her partner gives her a hungry look from a famished lizard. Jumping out of way of the chopping jaws that came crashing down to devour her, she looks at the giant lizard in horror. "Achan . What's gotten into you? Control yourself!"

A deaf deifying screech shakes the room. Achan continues forward. The girl starts to fly away but is swatted to the ground by the Achan's tail. Trowa turns his head away to escape the view of the girl being eaten alive. Her final screams were enough. He looks for an escape route but the tail was blocking the door and the only other door was clear across the other side of the room.

She's slow in turning. She'll have to make a full circle to get me because of the wall. He gets up deciding that the door where the tail was safer. Taking a screw driver out of his pocket he works his way to the door. Sitting on the tail didn't seem to disrupt it. He takes the hinges off the door starting with the one closest to the floor. He pushes the door out. He only takes one step out before he's forced to jump back in by another set of jaws. They are much larger then the first. It pushes its nose through the door blocking his way out.

He could feel the heat of its breath. As anticipated, she turns around slowly only after backing up nearly crushing him. She snaps at him again giving him the only option of backing up which to his misfortune happens to be a corner. Trowa backs up as far as he could go. She comes in for the kill. He waits for it. The jaws snap shut centimeters from his face. A whine erupts from it. He turns his head away in disgust as she licks him.

He dare not move though curious why he wasn't at the moment lizard food. Either frustrated or out of still being hungry she turns around attacking what hindered her from her meal. A white tiger had a hold of her tail. It looks to be about four times the size of a natural tiger. The T-Rex flings its tail back and forth pulling the tiger out of its hold in the floor like nails being pulled from a block of wood. The tiger finally gets pulled out of place and like a crack of a whip the T-Rex flings the tiger into a wall.

The tiger quickly gets up and scurries in front of Trowa. The large lizard snags one of the tiger's legs. A thunderous roar explodes from the tiger. With its other paw like lightning uses the lizard's face as a scratching post. She releases the tiger as she cries out in pain. Almost immediately the tiger starts to shrink. It starts to take the shape of a woman. As the face and body were human again she still kept the fur and ears. She grabs her injured shoulder in pain.

"Here's your chance go!" Shimi says calling to Trowa. "I can take care of- " the tail of the T-Rex swats her into the wall as it still screeches from the pain. She sinks to floor passing out. Trowa races over to her and carefully picks her up. Not having anything to lose he heads for the door on the other side of the room. Keeping one eye on the other door and the other on the T-Rex he makes half way to the door a safe enough distance without being seen. Making it to the other side, he kicks open the other door.

Inside are what look like giant test tubs big enough to hold a beach ball. In the center of many looked like little aliens of different sizes. He walks deeper inside, but he didn't see another. Trowa looks to his left seeing a small baby boy inside one of tubs and walks closer to it. He stares at it in awe and places his hand on it. It's warm to the touch.

"You know all test tub babies are made the same way." Trowa turns in the direction of the slightly deep voice. The man's amber eyes shine a bit with the allowed dim light of the room. His brown skin fades into the orange of his tiger ears that stick out of his bright red hair. "He's due to be born in two weeks." Trowa watches him carefully as he walks to the tub holding the baby. "My name is Moriko Yoshi. I'm a scientist here at Base Nursery."

". This whole base is a nursery?" Trowa says astonished.

"Yes, everyone here is under the age of 21 except for me, my wife, and a few other adults here." A roar of pain is admitted by Shimi as she regains conciseness.

"Trowa what are you doing can't you see I'm giving away your position by my sent. I'm sorry. I should have considered that before coming along." Shimi says avoiding his gaze.

"It doesn't matter. I figured you were a splicer." Shimi looks up at him surprised blushing then looks at her injured shoulder.

"It will heal when the shoulder's put back in its socket. Give it a week, two at the most." Moriko says glancing at it from where he's standing.

"So, you're going to snitch on us?" she says looking at him.

"Sorry cuz, I have too. if I know you you'll get out besides there's no way out of this room except the way you came." Cousin? Trowa looks from Shimi to Moriko a bit confused. Is he a spy? If he is then why did Shimi only tell us that it was only her and Fox left?

"Believe it or not, not everyone in Osprey is evil, just a select few that give it its bad rep. I wish you luck because we can't find out who they are and if they did they disappeared or joined."

"Wow . I, I didn't know that." She looks up at her cousin with sympathy then turns serious. "Who sponsors or is the leader of Osprey?"

"There's Cobra one of the elders of the Tang Dynasty, but the Dragon Clan or The Lan foundation from what I remember is the head. The chairman is Li Lan." Bingo he's the one we're looking for, Shimi thinks to herself finally noticing the baby in the Tub. "Say hello to Chibi Katsuro Yoshi." He turns to her and smiles. "I'm hoping he'll learn weaseling from my favorite cousin, so don't go and die on me."

*****

"What are you doing to him? Heero! ... " Heero's eyes close, his arms sway steadily and lifelessly at his sides to a gradual stop. Quatre struggles with the hand that held his throat. "Let him go and take me instead." The Duo imposture is shocked by Quatre's hasty request and finds it funny.

"I'm not finished yet. besides you'll get your turn soon enough." Without warning Heero jabs a dagger in the guys arm. "AAHHH!" Duo imposture releases them. He surveys his arm pain stricken then anger stains his face. Debating weather or not to pull the dagger out, he looks up at Quatre and Heero. Heero doesn't stay on his feet for long. Quatre catches him on the way down.

"Heero." he moans in response to his name then loses consciousness. Quatre sees that he had turned very pale and turns him over on his back resting Heero on him. Heero's neck is red where he was held almost like he was sunburned.

"I bet you miss your leader don't you?" Duo imposture walks up to Quatre kneeling down next to him. "Let me fix that for you." He steadily changes, warping completely, into Heero. "How's that" he says with Heero's voice to a stunned Quatre. "Now it's your turn." Before Quatre could move he grabs him by his neck again jamming him into the wall. A smile crosses Evil Heero's face as Quatre feels his hand start to grow hot. "AAHHH!!"

*****

Duo looks at his watch and sighs. It was getting late. Many tour groups including his have finished. He walks over to the gift shop. Pretending to look around but even then the gift shop starts to thin out. Duo casually walks into one of the dressing rooms as they start to close. He waits hearing the conversation of two cashiers as they lock the doors. Lights turn off all around the place.

He steps out of the dressing room area and looks around. There's no camera's here. Huh, I have a bad feeling about this. Something white dashes past in front of him. OK what was that? He starts to go in the direction in which he saw it go, behind the counter. He looks over the other side of the counter to see a kid dressed as a rabbit enter the staff room.

Questioning, he enters the staff room and the fridge door's open. Looking down over the top of the door he sees the little girl taking two heads of lettuce out of one of the doors in the fridge. They seem too much for her to handle as they obstruct her view. Closing the door with her foot causes her to lose her balance. Duo picks her up before she falls. "Need a little help there kid?"

Her feet spring out in a running motion dropping the lettuce. They make eye contact for the first time. Startled Duo drops her. She rolls a bit before scurrying under the table. No way. that . really was a rabbit. Shimi told us about splicers, but I didn't think I'd actually come in contact with one. I mean with my luck I'd have met up with a bear or something.

He looks under the table after moving closer. She leaps on his head and beats his head with her foot a few times with her foot like a drum then leaps off. "Hey" he watches her in astonishment as she does a u-turn sliding to a stop to pick up the lettuce she dropped and head down what looked likes a laundry shoot on the wall. OK. He opens the laundry shoot and studies it. Ah what the heck, it's big enough.

zzz, zzz, ZZZ, ZZZ, ZZZ, ZZZ, ZZZ, ZZZ, ZZZ

"Damn it, Duo! Don't follow the white rabbit!!"

zzz, zzz, ZZZ, ZZZ, ZZZ, ZZZ, ZZZ, ZZZ, ZZZ

"AH!" Niko's head jerks back. He reaches back and grabs hold of his ponytail turning. A little girl with rat ears and tail had a hold of his braid in her mouth.

He runs at them then grabbing them both by the neck slams them into the wall. "Now who should I be this time?" He looks from Heero to Quatre but his eyes rest on Heero. They both try and remove the strong grip from their necks but it was no use.

Suddenly Heero's eyes grow large and he grits his teeth. "Heero. what are you doing to him?" Quatre could see the pain in his eyes. Soon his hands drop to his sides. "Heero!"

ZZZ, ZZZ, ZZZ, ZZZ, ZZZ, ZZZ, ZZZ, zzz, zzz

"Heero. I'm sorry!! This is all. all my fault."

zzz, zzz, ZZZ, ZZZ, ZZZ, ZZZ, ZZZ, ZZZ, ZZZ

Wufei stops at one of the doors and opens it slowly. He looks around inside before going to another door listening in on a conversation. Two eyes shine yellow behind him.

ZZZ, ZZZ, ZZZ, ZZZ, ZZZ, ZZZ, ZZZ, zzz, zzz

"No, Wufei don't go in there! You're the only one left! Wufei!"

zzz, zzz, ZZZ, ZZZ, ZZZ, ZZZ, ZZZ, ZZZ, ZZZ

"Heero." he moans in response to his name then loses consciousness. Quatre sees that he had turned very pale and turns him over on his back resting Heero on him. Heero's neck is red where he was held almost like he was sunburned.

"I bet you miss your leader don't you?" Duo imposture walks up to Quatre kneeling down next to him. "Let me fix that for you." He steadily changes, warping completely, into Heero. "How's that" he says with Heero's voice to a stunned Quatre. "Now it's your turn." Before Quatre could move he grabs him by his neck again jamming him into the wall. A smile crosses Evil Heero's face as Quatre feels his hand start to grow hot. "AAHHH!!"

ZZZ, ZZZ, ZZZ, ZZZ, ZZZ, ZZZ, ZZZ, zzz, zzz

"Quatre!" Quatre's picture seems to float upward like a balloon, but she soon realizes it's her that's sinking away. She opens her eyes slowly as she hits the bottom of the pool. Realizing where she is she swims as fast as she can to get to the surface.

"I told you it wasn't a good idea to sleep on the pool" Says a familiar mop top.

"I don't need you telling me what to do professor!" she yells upset as she steps out of the pool. The weight of gravity on her body is felt like her plague of guilt infecting her slowly. She looks up at the starry sky, the moon almost directly overhead. "How long would it take a gundam to go from here to the moon?" Her voice is soft in wonder.

He looks up at the moon catching on, "Less then 24 hours if you go all out." He watches her as she debates weather to go or not. "I'll tell the others goodbye for you," he turns and walks into the house.

"Wait, I'm not leaving yet." She runs after him. ". wait a minute, since when did I say I was leaven!!"
