What happens
Chapter 1:
How it started...
The five pilots were on one of their undercover missions, they had just been assigned to three days ago... They were to infiltrate and capture a major Oz base, by going undercover at the nearby High School, which was to have a trip to the base in a week. The Gundam pilots just had to lay low as students till they went to the base, and set a detonation device inside. The explosive was an automatic self-destruct bomb, if anything was pushed or pulled wrongly after it had been set it would automatically detonate.
For the next week they had laid low and acted their roll as temporary Foreign exchange students, from schools who had a high population of students. Wufei and Heero had gotten restless, they hated the waiting around for the 'field trip' If it was up to Heero he would just barge in there, set the bomb and not worry if he got out or not. Duo on the other hand was enjoying himself, being the loud mouth baka he always was. Quatre was still his quiet self, but was enjoying the school interaction, and Trowa was just detached as usual.
The Friday of the trip, everyone was restless and a little edgy to get the mission done. They were taking the trip in History class, only because the base had allowed the trip since they figured the real threat (G pilots) were in Japan. Of course they had no idea they were inviting them in unsuspectingly, and with 'open arms' so to speak. "Class, please load on the bus and we will be at the base in about 45 minutes...The students who have family working at the base please sit in the front...'' The five undercover pilots sat in the back, waiting patiently to arrive and start their plans to set and detonate the base.
"The waiting is killing me..." Duo complained to Quatre, who only nodded in agreement. They all had become really restless, thinking it maybe a trap, maybe Oz knew they were coming...The thoughts raced through each of their minds, and they tried to keep their thinking on the task at hand. They had to stay calm, be unsuspicious and enter the base as normal students on a field trip. "Were here, finally!" Duo sighed in relief, he was to the point of pulling his hair out of his head...
"Class, line up single file and we will enter the base gates in groups of five, since the automatic fences only allow that as the max...Please hurry, but don't push..." The teacher rambled on as the 35 students packed into the large militant base. As they walked up the path to the central center where all visitors enter, the students were allowed to pass without much problem...Some of the teens who had parents or family their walked to the side and chatted with their family for a few moments.
The real tour began, starting in the mess hall, then through some of the sleeping quarters...Finally after about two hours they were in front of the main control room. This room looked over every other station or corridor in the base, this was the main control/surveillance room. Heero sat to the task of attaching the bomb to the bottom of the wall, and punching in the set of command keys and a set time. He decided it was a safe decision to wait a few hours until the class was out of the place, since the bomb's hiding place was quit concealed. After the set commands and it was set on so that one wrong key would blow the place up or one cut wire, would automatically send the place in smoke...
~~~2 hours later~~~
"Lets get out of here...Sounds like they've spotted the bomb!" Quatre told the others at the commotion the guards were fussing and yelling about, as the students were leaving the building...In all the commotion the Pilots made a run for it and they went for a stray jeep.
"WHERES DUO?" Heero looked around, quite panicked by his best friend's disappearance... "He didn't make it out!" He told the others, looking back at the base as they rode down the strip of road at 70 miles an hours.
"He'll find a way out before they catch him, or the bomb goes off..." Quatre tried to sound reassuring but he knew it was highly unlikely...
Back inside the base....
"NO!" Duo yelled back at the damned guards at the base.
"Deactivate the bomb now or we won't spare your friends!" One of the soldiers told Duo, holding up a small Vid-screen. It showed a trail of dust apparently from a speeding vehicle, the soldier pressed a button and soon their was a loud 'boom' and an explosion where the vehicle was suppose to be. Wreckage littered the air as did flames and the smell of gas, Duo was horror struck...
"NO, your stupid...That wasn't them..." He spoke aloud, but in his mind he wasn't so sure about it...He knew some vehicle had been blown up but he was unsure if it was Trowa and the others... "Even if it was them, why would I care?" He asked with a hearty but fake chuckle after his statement, trying to show he didn't give a damn if it was the others or not...He knew they were trying to get him to deactivate the bomb...There was still 3 hours left till it self-detonated.
"O, so you don't care? To bad, we'll find other ways to make you come to your senses boy!" The man took his large fisted hand and punched Duo hard in the face. "I'll beat the code out of you..." The soldier spoke with a harsh and raspy voice to the braided haired boy that was hand cuffed in front of him.
"It'll take more than a beating from you to get me to tell...I'd rather die than fail this mission..." He spoke with a cocky air to his voice, he meant it, it would take a hell of a lot more than punches and slaps to get him to talk...
"We'll find something to get you to tell us, child! JESSY!" The soldier called, the name Jessy in a yell. Immediately a young girl, about 16 or 17 appeared by the man's side, saluting her superior... "Tell Lieutenant Kai that the suspected Gundam Pilot is in cell block 337, and is awaiting punishment to make him talk...NOW GIRL!" He snapped, she saluted him and answered...
"Yes sir, I will report to him the status of the Gundam Pilot right away..." While glancing at the captured, and doubled over, pilot that was being dragged to his cell, they had apparently punched him in the stomach to get him to cooperate. She caught a glimpse of the amethyst eyes, who looked up at her, with a slightly cocky, but pained look to the heart shaped face that owned the eyes...She took off down the opposite way to the Lieutenant's quarters, to inform him of what her cousin, no Soldier 422 Ralph Heniki, had told her to tell him.
She knocked at the door, after arriving at the doorway to the Lieutenant. "Enter..." Came a calm voice of a younger man, in his mid 20's...He sat at his desk and immediately arose when he seen it was his little sister, Jessy...
"I was to inform you that the Gundam Pilot is in cell block 337, Soldier 422, Heniki is there awaiting the punishment of the new prisoner, sir..." She saluted her brother, the Lieutenant, who nodded to tell her 'at ease'.
"Alright, I will see to the matter immediately, wait and we will return together..." He told the girl, who stood patiently in the doorway. "Are you sure this is a gundam pilot?" He asked his sister, while walking down the hall.
"Very sure, there was 5 students who were suppose to be exchange students at the school, and on the monitors there was one of the boys doing something at the site of the bomb. We figure he's the one that planted it, but the boy we have is one of the others, but must know the codes...The system for the explosive is unknown, but I am sure, as with my experience with explosives, that this bomb is one that will go off with the slightest error..." She trailed off and received a nod from the Lieutenant...
"Yes, I see..." They finally reached the cell where Duo had been captured, there were two soldier guarding the door, and inside Soldier Heniki must be... "What is the status on the prisoner?" He asked the two soldiers at the door, they had saluted him and answered Kai...
"He still refuses to tell the code, sir...Heniki and two others are in there, trying to beat it out of him sir....." They told him, a little ashamed at their beating a boy, like he was a man 3x Duo's size...
They let both brother and sister past, as Kai always commanded his sister, in the prisoners to get an idea on how she was to handle them...She usually understood the other men's punishments, but not this Gundam Pilot... 'He is my age if not that, how can they be so harsh and cruel to someone so young? If I were captured by them, would I go through something similar to this? That boy, there's something about him...He is strong willed, cocky, and those eyes...Hold mischief, sorrow, and anger, all in one...' Duo had looked up at the two that had entered, he was against the wall on the far side of the cell. Three good sized men, each in their mid twenties were around him, taking their turns at beating him...He was mainly undressed, except for a pair of boxers, that must have been his. He had whelps and the makings of bruises all over his visible body, where the soldiers had hit him...
'I wish he would just tell the codes, he must want to die, rather than fail the mission... Such determination, I don't think I could do that for Oz, the only reason I am here is because my only family is here, my brother, who is a Lieutenant at this base...I would never be able to stay silent and allow such things to happen to myself, Oz has never done anything for me, they have only prolonged the War...' She watched her brother move up toward the boy, who was cuffed against the wall...
"Boy, tell us what the code is...That's all you have to do, a simple alignment of characters...Tell us boy, or you won't be free, I trust you already know about your friends...." He spoke in a tone that made Jessy shiver, her brother always could do that...He never used that tone with her, only with the most hostile of prisoners...Duo made no look or move of dissatisfaction... "Well then, if you don't tell us the code than maybe you'd give us information on your side, which ever, of course I'll be sure to get both out of you..." He finished speaking, and Jessy watched the boy's face...Kai punched him in the , making the boy grimace in pain...Jessy couldn't stand watching this, especially from her brother. 'Damn you boy, tell them! Either way you'll die, this way you won't be tortured...' The thoughts raced through her head, as she watched a trickle of blood spot the side of his pink lips.
"Lieutenant, perhaps I can get information out of him...Give me 5 minutes, alone, if you don't mind that is...." She spoke up to her brother, he looked at her in surprise, and then in satisfaction...
"Yes, Soldier J. Heniki, please do...Clear out men..." He ordered the others out of the cell block...He nodded to his sister before he left the room and exited through the steel door...Duo kept his head hanging low and licked the blood off of his lip, he was curious at what the girl had in mind...
'She can't hurt me or force me to give up answers, it'll be harder for her than those men...What is she up too?' He thought, listening to the girl step closer to him...
"What's your name?" She asked him, lowering the cuffs on the wall, so he could actually touch the ground and could face her right...The two were the same height, both slender yet muscular, Duo could tell this from the girl by the way she had walked into the cell minutes before...
"Why would you Ozzies want to know?" He asked, curious of why she wanted to know his name... "Duo..." He answered a few moments later, not really thinking...
"O, Duo...Well why don't you tell me the codes? They'll go a lot easier on you..." She told him, still in her militant voice, she was trying to get the codes to actually help the boy...
"No, I won't tell you Ozzies, my friends and my cause will suffer for my failure..." He trailed off, he had just told her to much...Damn why did he have to have such a big mouth?
"Well, won't your friends suffer more with out you?" She asked, leaving Duo to ponder as she continued... "Well, please just tell me the codes, I am sure I can get my brother, the Lieutenant to go a hell of a lot easier on you..." She told him, now in a softer and gentler tone, low, as so the others outside wouldn't hear her...Duo looked up at her, and knew she meant well, she wasn't one for the ozzies, she was distressed cause he was so young and being tortured so badly...He was hurting all over, it had only been 30 minutes, and he had been battered to close to a pulp already...
"D-2-3-4-Q-1-7-H", Duo told her in almost a whisper...He was tired, and he knew that he could always plant another one and then actually immediately detonate it...
Jessy could barely hear the combination, and was astounded that he had told her, she knew her brother would be pleased... "Thanks Duo...Call me Jessy, I don't think they'll bother you for awhile..." She told him, he just nodded from the wall, as she exited...
"Well?" Was what she was met with when she exited the cell...
"He surrendered the code to me, I will return in minutes, I will immediately go and disable the bomb personally..." She ran off down a few corridors to the back of the main control room. She searched a minute and found the well placed bomb, knelling down and looking over the key pad she entered the code the braided prisoner had gave her. "Alright, I hope you didn't sign our death wishes...D-2-3-4-Q-1-7-H, enter..." There was a click and a small beep that signaled the bomb was cut off and disabled.. "Damn! He told me the truth, it was the right code..'' She was overly shocked, because he gave her the code when she was an Ozzie, and the that it was actually the right one, and it was her who had disabled it...She was thoroughly pleased with her self, but she was worried about Duo...
She stood from the crouched position she was in, and immediately took off for her brother... "Well, did you enter the code?" He asked her when he saw her fast paced walk down the hallway.
"Yes sir, I successfully disabled the bomb, the base is now safe..." She told her brother, as if it was boring and nothing to her, which it meant not a damn thing to her...
"Good work, Jessy, your work will be relayed to the Colonel himself, personally by me..." He told his sister with a nod.
"Lieutenant, that is unnecessary, I done the same thing any other soldier should and would do...I do have one request, that I would like to ask you Sir...I want to have some responsibilities in the prisoner, maybe I can get more information out of him..." She told him uncertainly...
Kai thought it over a moment, and since she had just saved the base and their lives, he would grant her request... "Yes, I will grant you permission in 3 days time, long enough to make it clear with the Colonel when I relay your heroic actions..." He told her in a superior but proud voice, and then made a quick hand gesture and dismissed his little sister...
