"So," Sakui asked one of the soldier's who looked coldly at him while rubbing his stiff neck where the man had been knocked out at. "This perfect soldier was the one who captured me, neh?"

"Yeah, but what it makes to you is nuthin' since ya got captured now. No way ya can escape now with Yuy escortin' you to Headquarters."

'That's what you think, everything is going just as I want it to…' He chortled lightly yet darkly at this, earning some glances and shaking of heads at his demented personality. Cold blue eyes watched the man's ever move as he was strapped down to the plane's seat, all objects around that man help with the man's escape removed.

Sakui's cold black eyes met icy blue eyes and he smiled inwardly as he looked away from the teenager. 'Perfect,' He thought maliciously.

Chapter Three: Perfect She Says?

The plane landed on the runway for the shuttle and all other machinery was cleared away. About five cars rolled up with incredibly speed and screeched to a halt, the bullet proof windows on them rolling down as Une gazed out of the passenger side with Duo Maxwell at the wheel, grinning like a maniac for seeing his friend again.

With the flick of her hand, soldier's jumped out of the cars, guns trained and ready to hold or restrain if any resistance was going to come from the newest captive. There were ten in all, one Gundam pilot to stay with Une and one more pilot from capturing the perp.

The door to the shuttle opened and some soldier's came out, in the middle of them was their captive. Sakui grinned like a maniac, which made even Duo wince slightly at the grin. The soldiers and their prisoner began down the steps, Heero appeared behind them, slightly pale but looking just as physically fit as always.

Duo noticed the odd look crossing their captive's eyes and he narrowed them slightly. He looked back at Heero and noticed that he was limping slightly and rushed out of the car, leaving a confused and slightly gaping Une in his wake.

"'Ey!" Duo shouted as he ran cautiously up to the perfect soldier. "You okay?" He questioned in a low tone so that none of the other's would hear if anything were serious. He say the soldier look at him, his reaction time seemingly slower than normal, a grunt in response for the question as usual.

Suddenly, Sakui whirled on the unsuspecting guards who were trying to make a good impression for Une instead of concentrating on keeping their perp captive. He broke through the cuffs, knocking all the guards out as he whirled a gun and trained it on Maxwell and Yuy.

Heero swayed slightly, muscles tightening as he looked down slightly at his leg and something clicked in his mind. The gas that was flung at him after being shot must have entered his blood stream. He vaguely remembered Duo shouting at him but he kept his eyes on his prey. He saw the man bend down and pick up something that he had on him and open it, pulling out another gun.

He aimed it at Heero.

The brunet glared at the man. The man smiled at him, looking up and down his body like a investor might to an animal. Heero growled at the man lowly and fiercely.

"Well," The man said snidely. "It seems to me that with those chemicals in your body that you aren't so perfect indeed, neh?" Duo shot the soldier a look whom firmly ignored it.

Heero looked at the man and then predicted that he would be able to dodge the bullet at a farther range so he decided to take his chances by darting to the side away from Duo and then sprint towards his target while pulling out his gun. He glared before he sidestepped quickly, dodging the bullet fired as he pulled out his gun in an instant before having it shot away.

Sakui walked up towards the soldier, gun trained as he bent down and picked up a new one. "You misread my gun. I specially made this." He grinned as he turned it to the side slightly to show the double barrel that could be mistaken as one.

"Heero." Duo said calmly as he stepped forward, glancing back slightly at the vehicles.

Sakui grinned as he lifted the other gun in his left hand and then dropped the one in his left slightly. Heero didn't even bat an eyelash at his foe. He grit his teeth, muscles tensing when Sakui kicked his leg slightly where it had been hurt.

He was about to move forward before the criminal raised the gun lowered to Duo's still body. Heero glanced slightly, eyes looking into Duo's violet ones as they widened with realization. They pleaded, Heero's eyes, for forgiveness.

A trigger was pulled and a gunshot ran out in the air, echoing.
