Gundam Wing Episode 29

Rescue I

11:30p.m.

The door to a cell door opens slowly shedding light on the prisoner inside. The chains on her arms and legs weigh her down as she sits on her knees. Her glowing deep blue eyes match her Chinese dress she has on as she looks up. Her hair falls limp at her sides and back.

"So, we meet again, Sophia," says a familiar voice. Seeing Mooshi's face turns her ghastly white, but for only a moment before anger sets in.

"I thought you were dead." She starts to stand up, but the chains stop her midway.

"You thought I was…" Mooshi gives an evil smile. "You absurd girl, I was the one who tripped OZ off about 05 being at the colony in the first place, but I was hoping you went with it when the colony blew." Mooshi walks closer to her. She keeps a close eye on Sophia even though Mooshi's accompanied by two other guards. Each has her own collar.

"You killed innocent people for your hatred of me!" she yells in her face. "You dirty snake!" Mooshi slaps her in the face.

"You're the one who killed those people not me! …if you would have just lie down and died this wouldn't have happened. It's because of you that I can't inherit your father's business."

"You mean this was all for-"

"Money, of course it was you idiot! You're father's business is the backbone of all the businesses in the world and outer space. It's only second to the Winner family business." Suddenly Li enters followed by his twin.

"When does she start? I want to be the first to fly a gundam," Pipe says with enthusiasm.

"Who says I'm making anything?"

"Oh you'll do it all right," she says taking out a collar. "I had this one made especially for you." Sophia growls at her as she comes closer.

"You wouldn't dare," she says coldly, "You won't get close enough to me again that's for sure.

"Who said I was the one who was going to do it," Mooshi says as Li steps up only Sophia soon realizes it isn't him at all. She watches in terror as he changes to the giant snake. She gasps as he approaches her.

"Cobra…" Sophia manages to stand, but is only able to take a step back as he wrapped around her the chains confining her to the spot she's sitting. "No… he can't be still-"

"Alive, of course Sophia," Pipe says calmly.

No, it can't be…

"NO!" Sophia screamed when she saw Quatre start to get sucked out along with the snake. She leaped down changing into her animal form to pick up speed only to change back. She grabbed his hand as the two slid out. Sophia and Quatre look like flags in the wind as she dug her claws into the edge of the hanger door.

Flash

I saw him fly out.

"Grandfather can change into anything he wants."

Grandfather? "AHH!" The chains dig into her flesh.

"Mr. Winner, is there a problem?"

"Hum?" looking up a woman with black hair and brown eyes whose stare knocks him out of his thoughts. "My apologies, Ms. Lan, …I've has a lot on my mind recently."

"If you want, we can take a brake."

"No, that's ok; I'm fine."

"Would you like some tea?" a maid asks suddenly startling him.

"Yes, thank you," he says looking into the chocolate brown eyes he remembered so well. Jumping up he says in surprise, "Sophia, you're ok."

"Um… yes, I'm fine," she says somewhat shaken. "How… did you know my name?" He is shocked by her answer, but a hand on his shoulder tells him to keep himself under control.

"I think it's best if we take a brake," Rashid says removing Quatre from the stares of the others in the rest of the room. "There are probably hundreds of girls that look like Sophia," he whispers to him when they were finally outside.

"That's her, Rashid, I know it."

"Maybe this is what she had to leave for?"

"No, I saw her kidnapped with my own eyes," Quatre's voice quivers a bit as he continues. "Who knows what they have done to her? …I have to find out what it is." Quatre then takes off down the hall.

"Master Quatre!"

"I promise I'll be back!" Quatre calls back before turning the corner. She acted as thought she didn't know me. He crashes into Sophia as she comes out of a nearby room. She drops the tray. Its contents shatter on the ground bringing a wave of scolding tea all over Quatre.

"You clumsy little fool!" Ms. Lan comes out furious and then says coldly, "Clean that up." Sophia quickly scrambles to pick up the pieces. Ms. Lan takes out a whip not noticing Quatre. Sophia cringes as she cracks the whip on the floor.

"Do you always intimidate your maid with a whip?" Quatre asks suddenly getting her attention. He then kneels to help. Ms. Lan quickly hides the whip behind her back even though it was too late.

"Mr. Winner, I thought you were on brake." She then notices his clothes, "Your clothes are-"

"It was just an accident." Sophia looks quickly to the floor when Quatre makes eye contact with her. Still feeling his eyes on her she beams from embarrassment.

"Sophia, get Mr. Winner some new clothes." The frightened girl jumps to her feet. "NOW!" She turns running down the hall. Ms. Lan fake laughs. "She's so clumsy. A little fear doesn't hurt anyone."

"Have you heard the saying 'Live by the sword, Die by the sword'?" he asks picking up the tray after placing the broken dishes on it.

"Yes."

"Take that into consideration next time you whip an innocent girl." He hands her the tray before heading down the hallway in which Sophia went. He ignores the cold, icy stare of Ms. Lan on his back. Sophia comes bursting out of a nearby room carrying his new clothes.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Winner," she hands him the clothes.

"I'm sure it was just an accident," he says kindly, "Nobody's perfect. Even I make mistakes." He then enters the room.

"You can change over there," she says pointing to what looked like a wall placed in the middle of the room. "I can take you clothes."

"She hasn't been beating you long, has she?" He starts to change his clothes.

"Only when I mess up," she says softly.

"I'm glad to see you're still wearing the ring I gave you."

"…You …were the one who gave this to me?" she asks confused picking up his soiled clothes.

"Of course I did." He looks at her closely. Dropping the clothes he places his hands on her shoulders frightening her. "Do you remember me?"

"You're Quatre Raberba Winner a wealthy business man and our best customer for my business."

"No, I mean do you remember the time we spent together."

"…This is the first time we were ever alone with each other in the same room."

What did they do to you, Sophia? "Please Sophia try to remember something. We're supposed to be married in December." The smell of fear was so strong in the room he could almost taste it as he releases her. How can she not remember me? "I need you to come with me… I promise I won't hurt you."

"Filling her head with lies, Mr. Winner," the two look up to see a dark brown haired man with familiar icy blue eyes.

"Mr. Lowe, when did you arrive?"

"When I found out someone started getting too nosey. We can't have our owner running off now can we?" He draws his gun pointing it at Quatre.

"No, please! Don't shot him," she says stepping in front of him. "I'll take care of this I promise."

"Really?" he looks at her suspiciously.

"I'm the maid remember."

"…I'll leave it to you then." Mr. Lowe hands her the gun and she unwillingly takes it. "You know what to do."
