Mako's POV
She felt as if she'd had her head in a vice. Her eyes were unfocused, her tongue lolling around in her mouth. The past few days felt fuzzy. She could remember the peculiar sensation of flight, flight in her Gundam. She remembered the night she and Duo had shared as well as quailing a tiny infant. What else? She tried to grasp her throbbing head, she could not remember!
"You belong to me now, Mako." A cold and cruel voice snaked its way into Mako's ponderings. "You will do what I say or suffer a very drawn out and tedious death. As well as that little girl of yours." Mako dimly recognized the man addressing her. "If you want your lover to live you shall obey me you wench." She felt dumb, and desperately tried to awaken the part of her slumbering mind to protest against the man's ridiculous commands, but instead all she managed was a weak nod. "Excellent," the man smirked as Mako struggled once again to awaken her slumbering and dull mind.

"That's it I'm getting tired of this!" Duo growled firing a missile and causing an Oz base reactor to turn into a fiery inferno.
"You just gave away our position you baka!" Trowa started trying to counterattack against the bombarding mobile suits.
"Oh crap," Duo growled again as he sliced through two suits dogging him relentlessly.
"I'm out of ammo!" Usagi cried out suddenly. The suits came crashing with a screeching and sickening thud.
"We're dead." Duo frowned. Quatre put his hands up in the air to surrender and Trowa eyed his captors slowly.
"These are three of the people Mr. Treiz was after right?" One soldier questioned the other. "Hai, it's also that Usagi Tsukino he's been dying to get his hands on." The soldiers handcuffed them all and started to drag them into the Oz base. Duo silently formulated a plan in his mind. He could escape, if he was very cautious about it. He decided he better not make a ruckus about being captured or they would keep closer surveillance on him then he wanted. Usagi was also silently formulating her next strategy move. Treiz has obviously been planning to capture her sooner or later, and now was her time to rid herself of him once and for all. They all were put in solitary identical cells. They were devoid of light, and they were informed they'd be fed once a day. Quatre was an exception; he was led away by two escorts.
"They must really want to do him in," Duo remarked.
Trowa wore a skeptical scowl. "Maybe he's been hiding something and they want to weasel it out of him," Duo suggested to blank air. All were silent, except for Duo, who'd rather talk to himself than dead silence. Quatre felt the guards loosen up once they were out of earshot and the range of vision of Duo, Usagi, and Trowa.

All were silent, except for Duo, who'd rather talk to himself than dead silence. Quatre felt the guards loosen up once they were out of earshot and the range of vision of Duo, Usagi, and Trowa.
"Mr. Kushrenada has been wanting to speak with you Fire." One of the soldiers mentioned to Quatre casually.
"I know I haven't had much time to report back to him. Trowa Barton is already highly suspicious of my actions." Quatre said. The silence of the halls echoed with each footstep they took, a reminder how absent real life was. The soldiers opened up the door leading to Treiz's office, where he shied Unne away at Quatre's arrival.
"It is about time I saw you again. I was thinking you were getting cozy and fat on that paycheck I send you." Treiz motioned for Quatre to sit down. Quatre obliged. "Gomen sir. It has been difficult to slip under the radar of Trowa; he's too perceptive. I've also been trying to throw Usagi off my trail. I had to erase her data files after she started trying to do a trace on me."
Treiz looked at him sourly. "We need to finish this swiftly, Mako is not become docile as expected. There has to be a weakness we haven't' exploited to our advantage." Quatre was inwardly battling with himself. He honestly had feelings for Usagi, but he pledged himself to Oz. He had agreed to infiltrate posing as a pilot for their cause. He now felt torn between his duty, and his love for Usagi.
"I'll bring you Duo Maxwell if you swear not to harm Usagi."
Treiz's eyes grew hard after Quatre stated his request. "Falling in love with your target is the stupidest move you can do on a espionage mission! You bakemono!" Treiz hit his fist hard on the wooden desk, which cracked like a gunshot.
"It was an accident, sir. I did view her as my target, but that changed." Quatre directed his vision at the ceiling, knowing full well he'd endure the wrath of Treiz if he peered directly in the line of vision.
"Fine, I shall make this little deal with you Winner. You get Mako to surrender and I shall not harm this little wench of yours. Also, you must agree to fight for my side when the time comes."
Quatre nodded. "Hai, I agree." Treiz smirked.
"That's a good boy, now go make sure the Great Destroyer doesn't attempt an escape." Treiz barked. Quatre obeyed, all the while feeling bubbling hot guilt plague the pit of his stomach. Duo struggled to find a way to make his escape from the chains that held him bound. He'd found he was lacking the explosives needed to blow the hinges off the cell door to escape. His prison had become deathly silent, Trowa and Usagi had stayed up for a couple of hours whispering in urgent, hushed voices, but a heart-wrenching calm had befell the place after they'd fallen asleep. The guards had not returned Quatre since they'd first been captured. Duo sighed heavily and leaned against the cool metal of the bars. "Mako, where are you?" He called softly.
He'd thought of nothing but freeing his koi after she'd left. He knew she was in danger, that Treiz had disgusting plans to use her. He wouldn't' let that pervert touch her, he'd die before he gave up. He was the Great Destroyer, and he loved her. She loved him, and he'd help her so they could live out the rest of their lives together. The door creaked open noisily. Duo felt his defenses rear up, only to see the familiar boyish face of Quatre.
"Quatre, what did they do to you man?" Duo asked as Quatre came closer to the cell. "They didn't do anything." Quatre said in an uncharacteristic monotone.
"Nani? They took you away first!" Duo cried incredulously.
Quatre sighed. "I know you don't want Mako to die, so please cooperate." Duo's eyes blazed, but he reluctantly agreed. Quatre nodded his head in the direction of Duo, and the guards took him away. A thousand horrifying thoughts filled Duo's mind. Was his beloved Mako near death? What were they doing to her?
