Chapter 7: Mission GT + G-Boys

Duo's hands flew over the keys of his laptop, his normally cheery demeanor covered by a serious face. Wufei had come bursting into his room earlier yelling about his bright pink hair, a prank that had not been his doing for once. Duo's only reply to Wufei's ranting was an uncharacteristic glare and a grunt, scaring the living daylights out of the pilot of the Gundam Nataku. Quatre, ever the peacemaker, had come in not too long afterwards to try to find out what was wrong to make the normally cheerful pilot do a very convincing impression of Heero Yuy and had left severely shaken by the Deathsythe Hell pilot's glare of annoyance.

His eyes scanned the report on the screen and his lips curled in disgust. After staying in his room and working on his laptop for the past fourteen hours, he'd hit another dead end. Duo got to his feet and slammed his fist on the table, stopping when his fist was an inch away from making impact. The table shuddered and a small crater appeared under his fist, a small cloud of dust rising.

"Dammit!" Duo snarled, "That Kamui! Where the hell is he hiding?"

Trowa, who had opened the door and was about to enter, quickly closed the door again, deciding that now wasn't a good time to disturb the American. Even if he had missed lunch and breakfast, and was about to miss dinner.

Little did the Heavyarms pilot know that the display he had seen was the true face behind Duo Maxwell. He had seen, not Duo Maxwell, but the Lord of the Underworld, Hades, better known as Shinigami, the God of Death.

Angel, Phoenix,

You're not going to like your new mission, but knowing the two of you, you'll complete it to my satisfaction.

Your mission is to protect Relena Dorlian Peacecraft.

The Officers of the Nautilus are getting wary, thanks to the efforts of Phoenix, and they are planning to move their plans forward. They will reveal themselves soon. Don't let the Gundam Pilots get ahead of you.

Now, about your mission to find Kamui…

Power draws power. Relena has the power to change the future. She can either live and prevent a war, or die and plunge the earth and her colonies into war. Kamui, being Kamui, will be near her. We must protect this planet at all costs.

01, 02, 03, 04, 05,

While you are on mission, Relena will be protected by 07 and 08 from GT Kamikaze. You will also be working together at times, so try not to kill each other.

Dr. J

Kotori and Sakura exchanged tired looks and typed in two words "Mission Accepted."

"These Nautilus people are a lot smarter then they look," Sakura said tiredly, "Their plans are encrypted like there's no tomorrow."

"But they're also very arrogant," Kotori said, rubbing her temples. "They think that because the Gundam Pilots are busy cleaning up after Oz and the Mariemia incident, they won't get caught, so they spread their plans with codes that are so simple that the other Drs. Just ignore. They never took Madame S or her hidden GT into account."

"Wait," Sakura said suddenly, "What about school?"

"You've been excused from school for the rest of the month because of a major family emergency," a husky woman's voice said.

The two girls' head snapped in the direction of the speaker. "Madame S!" they cried.

Madame S smiled and said, "Hello girls. May I come in?"

"Of course," Sakura said as she set her laptop on the table and got to her feet, "Please, come in, Madame S."

"Would you like some tea?" Kotori asked.

"Of course," Madame S said. Kotori set her laptop on the table and entered the kitchen. Five minutes later, she came out with a pot of tea and three tea cups and as she began serving the tea, Madame S spoke.
"Dr. J, the old snake, has given his G-boys the idea that you'll be protecting Relena Peacecraft while their on mission. You'll be giving them quite a shock when they see you protecting Relena while their current mission is to protect her. Don't get into any fights, and no matter what you do, don't kill them!"

Kotori rolled her eyes and said, "Considering 05's attitude toward women, I wouldn't be surprise if either Sakura or I inflicted bodily harm."

"Yeah," Sakura said tiredly, "Plus, Shinigami will be there. His mask is way too hentai for my taste. 01, 04 and 03 we can put up with. The others are bound to end up with bodily harm."

"Do what you will. The Pilots, however, had best be in good enough shape to take on missions, ladies," Madame S said, rubbing her temples as she stood up. "Oyasumi nasai," she added, as she opened the door.

"Oyasumi!" the girls chorused before breaking down in giggles.

Madame S smiled weakly and left.
