"Well they do hate each other. And that hate probably grew even bigger now." Trowa said, crossing his arms.
"No I don't think that was it." Duo said.
"What are you talking about Maxwell?" Wufei grunted.
"I'm saying, that they seemed more embarrassed then angry. Like they do like each other only it's kind of a love hate relationship." Duo explained, the two pilots looked at him as if he were crazy.
"Maxwell where did that come from?"Wufei asked. He shrugged.
"Usagi told me."
"And you trust her?" Trowa asked, Duo now looked offended and stood up.
"Well someone has to. And Usagi's a lot smarter then she appears. She see's things that most people don't. A lot of the things she says are actually true. Like you Wufei, she notices how you sometimes mope around. Hell I never even noticed it till now. She even asked me if someone left you. And I think you know who I'm talking about." Wufei looked shocked, he then hung his head.
"Duo we didn't mean it like that. We mean by how we barely know these girls." Trowa said. Duo sat back down and sighed.
"Sorry, it's just I see a lot of the pilots here picking on her and I thought that was what you were doing. Sorry for yelling." he said. Trowa and Wufei nodded in understanding. Then Wufei picked up his tray.
"If any one picks on Usagi again, tell me." he said then walked away. Duo and Trowa looked confused for a second, but then smiled. Quatre came and sat down with his tray of food.
"Well it seems those girls are touching everyone here. I wonder how the last one, Hotaru is going to take this all in." he said. Duo shrugged and Trowa looked at the floor. Neither of them really knew how the Senshi of Death would take any of this.
Minako stormed down the hall, fists clenched. 'Damn Usagi. Why did she do that?' she thought. She hated Heero, why would Usagi do that to her? She was about to enter the hospital room when the whole building shook. She braced herself against the door till it stopped. The shouts of soldiers and piolets echoed through the halls. Hotaru? She was still in a coma, she couldn't be moved. Minako threw the door opened and looked out the window. The enemies mobile suits were gathering.
"Shit!" she cried and rushed over to Hotaru. "Hotaru-chan you have to wake up! You have to wake up now!" the dark girl didn't move. "Please Hotaru-chan the enemies here! We have to go!" tears surfaced on her eyes. She didn't want to loose another friend. The building shook again.
She looked around the room and noticed a stretcher folded up in a corner. She quickly pulled it out and set it up, trying to ignore the sound of missiles and the shacking. The stretcher out she lifted Hotaru up onto it. The only problem now was all the monitors and packs of fluid.
"Minako-san what are you doing!" someone shouted she turned to see Irea in the door way, she braced herself as another quake shook the building again.
"I have to get Hotaru-chan to safety. I won't let another one of my friends die!" she shouted. Irea nodded and came over to help.
"We'll have to unhook her from all the monitors, but she still needs the fluid transplants. Take off all the red wires I'll fix the fluids." Irea said. Minako nodded and began doing as Irea instructed. Irea did her share to and soon they were able to wheel the sleeping senshi. People were running around the halls. Several were dressed in piolet uniform. Usagi was led over by a soldier.
"Here take her." he said as he rushed of in the opposite direction. Minako grabbed the girls hand as Irea continued to lead them to the basement where the civilians were kept during battle. Once inside they picked out a corner and scooted Hotaru into it. There Irea check if anything had changed on their trip down there. Usagi looked confused as to what was happening. Minako had to keep her from leaving. The roof shook and the lights flickered. Dr. J came over to them.
"I'm afraid this isn't good. This base is mostly civilians we don't have enough soldiers to protect it. I don't think we'll make it out of this one." he said looking at the floor. Minako looked around. She hadn't noticed it before but there were a lot of young children and teens around. Mothers comforted their crying children while they fought back their own tears. That's when she decided she had to help. Her friends might not be there anymore to help her, but she still had to save this world that they all held so dear.
She stood up from her position on the ground, she handed Usagi over to Dr. J as she ran for the door. She called out, "Take care of Usagi and Hotaru for me!" before she closed the door. The room went silent at the senshi's exit. Irea turned to the doctor, her face mixed in confusion and fear.
"What is she going to do?" she asked her voice shaky.
"I don't know. I just hope nothing stupid."
Minako raced through the halls, she had no clue where the exit to this place was. Finally she went into a room that had a window and opened it. She was four stories off the ground. She looked out at the battle. A lot of their soldiers were dead. Only three gundams were left standing, Heero's, Duo's, and Wufei's. Trowa was trying his best to protect a fallen Quatre only one of his arms had been severed off. They would be running out of ammo soon. She took a deep breathe and jumped up into the air.
"Venus Crystal Power! Make-up!" she shouted. Golden stars wrapped around her and formed her fuku. Her wings came out and she flew off towards them.
Heero was trying his best to hold them back. He heard someone call something out and looked behind him back towards the building. Minako had jumped out a window and held something up. In a sec a golden flash surrounded her and she was in a totally different outfit. Wings sprouted from her back before she hit the ground and she flew off towards them.
"Heero look out!" Duo called. He turned in time to block a Leo's attack and cut it in half. He heard a strange nosie and saw Venus had landed on his gundams shoulder. She pulled out a orangish gold chain.
"Venus Love Me Chain!" the chain shot out and grew three times bigger wrapping itself around an Aries that had tried an aerial attack. The suit crashed down and exploded. The chain retracted back to her. "Thought you might need some help." she said with a wink.
"When we get back, you had better explain yourself onna!" came Wufei's voice. Venus just giggled before taking to the air. While the enemy was distracted by her Heero, Duo and Wufei took their chance and showered them with missiles and shots. The rest of the enemy retreated seeing that most of their comrades were gunned down. Venus smiled at their backs and waved.
"Bye-bye." she said cheery. Suddenly her wings vanished while she was in the air. "Oh Crap! AHHHH!"
Heero stuck out his gundams hand and caught the falling senshi. She pouted and shut her eyes in concentration. She looked at her back as if wanting to see if her wings had come back, which they didn't. He set her on his shoulder and they went back to the base.
