ZT: I'm not gonna be around tomorrow, so guess what? You guys get an early chapter! Okay! Now on to part two of the base infiltration (Wow! I didn't know that was actually a word, but my computer's not yelling at me, so it must be!)! I don't own Gundam Wing. Enjoy!

Dark Devotions- Nope, not Treize.

Gundam Gurl ()- heh heh I like 'em too! And anybody who doesn't like Fluffy or Darth Vader has some serious issues in MY opinion!

Calli Maxwell- Night Star's identity is secret; that's the beauty of it! The guy Heero ran into COULD have been Night Star, but you never know…all I can say is that's not the last of the mystery guy. You'll find out what happens to Duo later on in this chapter. Sorry I couldn't give you a better thing for Night Star, but I don't want to give anything away… Tell me who your suspect are; I enjoy seeing the lists!

Fate Sucks

Chapter 18

"Hyaa!" The twin dragons on Altron slammed through the chests of two of the five remaining dolls.

"Rraaahh!" Sandrock sliced through two more. "This isn't so hard…" Quatre remarked.

"I'll take care of the last one," Wufei offered, before speeding toward the last doll. His dragon took aim and sprung at the doll, "Take this!"

"No thanks!" The two were taken aback as the doll dodged as if it was being piloted.

"What?" Quatre checked his heat seekers. He looked at the monitor in confusion and tapped it.

"What's wrong?" Wufei asked while attacking the doll with his trident.

"The heat seekers sat that that's just a doll, but those moves are too complex for just any doll. Not to mention- ah!" he blocked an attack as the doll suddenly turned on him, "Mobil dolls can't talk!"

"Really?" the "doll" asked innocently, "I never would've guessed."

"Who is this? Quit hiding your identity you weakling!" Wufei ordered. They were using the same voice scrambler from before!

"You're no fun! Oh well, whatever. Name's Sparkle. I'm young, hot, and deadly. And you two are the soon to be dead Gundam pilots. Okay, now with the formalities out of the way, GO TO HELL!" she yelled, charging at the two.

Duo coughed and looked around in confusion. Where did all the smoke come from? This was definitely NOT good!

"What's wrong? Scared of the dark?" The voice was calm and taunting at the same time, a VERY uncomfortable mixture!

Duo whipped around. WHERE was the voice coming from? His soldier side kicked in as he got a feel for his surroundings using other senses than sight. Mixed with the smoke, he caught the slightest aroma of some sort of cologne or perfume. Which one it was, he couldn't tell, but since he wasn't bombarded by more that one, he guessed that other person and he were the only ones in the room. When he listened very hard, he caught the slightest noise of footsteps on the floor. The person seemed to be slowly circling him, like a predator circling its prey. Duo's hand slowly reached for his gun.

Dark Majic smirked, "Time to die."

"Ugh!" Sparkle dodged Sandrock's sys (that IS what that weapon is called right?) only to be hit by Altron's trident. To say the least, two Gundam pilots plus one Sparkle equaled Sparkle's butt kicked. "Rose! A little help please?"

"Right! Hang on Sparkle!" Desert Rose tossed down her sandwich and pushed her chair to another panel. Typing in a code, she began charging the battery for the beam that took out Wing Zero and Heavyarms last time.

Wufei was waiting for this. He sped toward the charging weapon. "Not this time!" With his trident, he slashed straight through the weapon and pulled back at top speed. "Heh," he watched as the weapon exploded, "So much for that plan."

Desert Rose yelped as her control panel sparked and started smoking. She glared at the image of the battle on another screen, "Damn them!"

Suddenly, some beeping caught her attention. She went to the first panel and gasped, "Shit! Guys, we have a problem…"

Trowa broke the lock and entered the new room. Imagine his surprise when he found himself standing in front of New Oz's main computer. He ran over and quickly started downloading the information onto a disk.

Duo rolled to the side as he heard a whistling sound whiz past his head. God, this 'Dark Majic' was good. Apparently this assassin had been taught to see in the dark because Dark Majic was keeping the god of Death on his toes! Duo yelped as he felt something hard smack right across the back of his shoulders, knocking him down.

"Looks like you're out of tricks, rookie," Dark Majic said coolly, a blade coming out of the tip of the wand as it was picked up. Just as the victorious assassin was about to stab Duo in the back, Desert Rose's voice came through Dark Majic's earpiece, "One of 'em got to the main computer!"

"What?" Dark Majic retracted the blade and took off toward the computer room, "This isn't over yet, pilot! We WILL meet again!"

Duo looked in the direction of the retreating voice as the smoke suddenly cleared, but Dark Majic was gone. He quickly pulled out his communicator, "Okay, whoever's at the computer room, get out of there quick. Those LAVA creeps found out where you are and are on their way there. DO NOT try to take them on!"

Duo heard Trowa say "right" before he rubbed his sore shoulders. That was definitely going to leave a mark! He turned around and headed toward his Gundam.

Heero heard Duo's little announcement. Don't deal with LAVA? Try don't deal with ANY of them! He pulled a bomb out of the heel of his shoe and threw it toward the soldiers. As it exploded, he took off running in the opposite direction, back to his Gundam. However someone was not killed by the explosion, and Heero let out a stream of curses as he heard a gunshot followed by a stinging sensation in his left shoulder. Well, he could deal with the wound later. Right now, he just needed to get out of there.

Trowa pulled out the disk as he heard footsteps. Damn! There was no time to erase the main frame! They would have to come back some other time to get rid of the information.

Dark Majic entered the room and let out a roar of aggravation; the pilot was gone.

Sparkle blinked in surprise as the Gundams suddenly pulled back. They were retreating? Why? She got her answer as three other Gundams suddenly sped from the base. "Damn it! Their mission's complete!"

Commander Vingtnearly fell out of his chairas Hell Fire's pissed off face appeared on his videophone, "Mind explaining to me WHY our efforts failed?"

"One of the corridors was left unguarded it seems," Vingt said, checking the reports.

"Not the one WE watched!" Hell Fire looked ready to kill, "We do not work for those who are incompetent!"

"Everyone makes mistakes…"

"Only AMATURES make that kind of mistake. LAVA is NOT going to risk its neck just so that our employer can screw up!" With that, the screen went blank.

Vingt tapped his fingers on his desk, "Think they're onto us?"

"I doubt it," the resource man sipped some tea, "If anything, it's now a personal issue with them. LAVA has never failed before, and they're going to want the BLOOD of those who beat them. The Gundams and LAVA will be out of our hair in no time."

5 love it. 1 hates it. What do you think? Review it! Till next time!
