What happens:
Chapter 3:
The others...
Both Jessy and Duo awoke to the shouts and loud foot steps of men outside the cell door. They couldn't see in, since the door had no window, to allow any form of visual of the two sleeping forms on the cot. The two teens sat up, and Jessy walked to the door and opened it.
"Kai! Thank god your here! Colonel, sir you are here too! Please let me explain the situation to you..." She shot off talking to her brother and the Colonel.
"It better be good J. Heniki...We have one soldier dead and another unconscious, Yang told me that you were the cause of this..." Kai told his little sister, quite annoyed. Then he noticed Duo, shaking compulsively on the cot, in complete fright. "What's wrong with him?" Kai asked, quite horrified at the state the pilot was in.
"O damn...Lets take this outside, I will explain everything..." She motioned toward the door and waited for the two superiors to exit. "Duo I will be back, don't worry..." She told him, turning around and shutting the steel door.
"Well?" The Colonel asked her, quite annoyed himself.
"R. Heniki, W. Lawson, and C. Yang punished the gundam pilot in an unimaginable way last night..." She was cut off.
"They were given orders not to do so! Didn't you tell them!?!" Kai cut in on her explaination.
"Yes I did...If you would let me continue...Well this evening when I returned to give the prisoner food and water, since they had not allowed him any...Please don't interupt!" She said curtly to her brother who was about to cut in. "Well Lawson wouldn't let me pass, so I gassed him. Inside were muffled cries, laughter, and other unruly noises. I opened the door and found a naked prisoner, cuffed to the bed and a half naked Heniki...I shot Heniki when he tried to pull his gun on me, I told him not to...Apparently they had done this unruly and disgraceful 'punishment' to the prisoner twice the night before and were about to do it again when I came. Yang ran out. I felt sorry for the prisoner so I released him, gave him clothes, and tried to calm him...He was in shock, He happened to fall asleep and as well as I, until the two of you came...I locked the door, in fear those three had others that may come, what I done I know isn't right according to our law. But I couldn't let this happen to the boy a third time, nor let him die of mental/emotional shock sir...Please forgive me for my actions, I request the prisoner be sent to the medical ward. I will watch over him if you would let me...He only trusts me, please allow this...I would only hope the same curtiousy to be bestowed upon yourself in such an incident. .." She broke off and waited for her harsh punishment to be told.
"Damn! I had no idea such a thing could happen...This is the second time you have done something so honorable J. Heniki...I will reward you, Yang and Lawson will be punished. This will be regarded as insubordination and a deadly accident. As for the prisoner I see it unnecissary...But his mental state will be closely monitored. J. Heniki I upgrade your rank, I hope this event has not traumatized you in anyway, I still hold you responsible for this prisoner, since it seems you understand him." Jessy nodded and proceeded to ask...
"When will more door guards be placed?" She asked blandly, but actually quite curious.
"They won't be here for another 2 hours, in the mean time I need the prisoner moved to cell block 121. I trust you can handle him..." Jessy nodded and answered him..
"Yes, sir, I understand. It will be about an hour before I can though...Is that alright?" She asked him, in a off sort of way.
"Bye all means, just by midnight...Dismissed..." Jessy saluted her superiors and walked off, with the only key to Duo's cell door resting in her pocket. No one was getting in there to hurt him again...
She returned to Duo's cell 20 minutes later, with a map, marker, and her vid-2way. She entered the cell quietly, to find Duo, sitting in the same place she had left him, his gaze fixed forward. "Duo...Hey, are you ok?" She asked him, walking over to him and placing her hand on his shoulder. He shrunk away and then looked up, apparently not noticing it was her. His eyes glazed over, she thought he was about to cry. "Hey are you ok?" She asked him again, sitting beside him now...
"Yeah, I didn't know it was you at first..." He told her, looking over the map she handed him. "A layout of the base?" He asked her, tapping the map.
"Yeah, this is the way I want you to go. You better memorize it cause your making a dash in 30 minutes...Since I am suppose to be moving you at that time to Cell 121..." The two went over the route, to the south side, that easily led to a small dirt road. All Duo had to do was escape the building run down the parking lot, to a unoccupied jeep and he would be free. "I'll be back in a little while Duo, make sure you know the way..." Jessy told him, while trying to unlock the door, then all of a sudden there was a noise from her pocket.
The vid-2way beeped, and flashed red, which meant code Red. Jessy cut the 2 way radio on... "Intruder alert! 3 Gunams on the North side... All mobile units engage and attack immediately!" Jessy could only smile as she cut on the Vid and watched 10 mobile suits get squashed by the 3 gundams...She wouldn't have to get Duo out alone, his friends had come to rescue him...
"Duo, change of plans..." She turned around and told him, he cocked his head and furrowed his brows...
"What are you talking about?" He asked a little bewildered.
"Your friends have come to rescue you...3 gundams are approaching on the North side...The whole base is going into a Code Red..." She told him, watching his face light up and his expression turn excited.
"Three? O, Heero must be the one coming inside..." He told her looking at the Vid, seeing Naraku, Sandrock, and Heavyarms fight, but no Wing Zero.
"Cool, O shit...Listen!" She told him, cutting off the Vid and 2 way, listening outside of the cell... "Running footsteps, they must be sending some soldiers to guard the door..." Duo nodded, he didn't care they'd be no match for Heero.
Meanwhile, a boy with unruly dark brown hair and Prussian blue eyes rushed down a nearby corridor. He was following the rushing soldiers but at a distance, he knew they'd lead him to Duo. "Damn, your in the very center of this damn place!" He whispered to himself as he turned a corner and stopped dead, seeing 4 soldiers stopped by a door. "There you are..." He whispered again, and pulled his gun in front of him and shooting the nearest guard.
"Agh!" The shot soldier groaned as he hit the ground and the other 3 started to continuously shoot at the corner where the bullet had come from. Heero leaned against the wall waiting for them to stop, or run out of a load of ammo. Soon they did and he took a few more shots there way.
"DAMN!" Heero shouted, being hit in his upper left arm, the bullet barely missed breaking his bone. He turned back and took down the last soldier, and walked over to the four corpses that now littered the hall. He gripped his arm tightly, the blood pouring freely from the bullet wound. He fumbled at the door trying to open it. "Duo! Duo are you in there?" He yelled through the door, in a drained voice.
Duo immediately recognized the voice, even though it sounded drained. HEERO! He'd come to save him, finally. "Open the door, its Heero!" Duo told Jessy, who immediately unlocked the door and opened it, careful to be behind the door in case the boy called Heero decided to kill her without a word. "HEERO!" Duo shouted, and grabbed his best friend, then immediately wished he hadn't. For the boy shrunk away and Duo's right arm was smered with warm blood.
"Damn you baka! We need to hurry and..." He cut off, seeing Jessy move slightly starting to close the door. He moved his hand quickly, which was still being gripped by his right hand, but Duo caught his hand and begun to explain...
"No, don't she isn't a bad ozzie...She was about to help me escape when you showed up...Don't hurt her..." He told his friend, pleeing to him. Heero's eyes slightly blazed, his friend was always to soft. But the girl was going to help him escape? Why?
"Uh, Heero...Let me bandage you arm...You'll bleed to death before you can get halfway out the base..." Heero glared at Jessy who had just closed and locked the door. Duo nodded and pulled Heero to the cot, on the floor. Jessy took a jug of water she had brought with her earlier, and ripped a piece of Ralph's white undershirt that still laid in the corner of the room. "Hey, don't look at me like that! I could be mean and let you die...But your a friend of Duo's and you got to get him out of here...So just relax while I see how extensive the damage is and how far the bullet is..." She told him, taking the knife out of her boot, and switching the blade open.
"Trust her Heero!" Duo reassured his tense and angered friend. Jessy soon had cut the bullet out of his arm and had poured antiseptic over the wound, making Heero slightly cringe. "There see I told you!" Duo taunted the sitting boy, who now had a white bandage stained with his fresh blood wrapped round his arm.
"Shut up baka, lets get out of here..." Heero told the long haired one, who nodded while waiting for Jessy to open the door. "She's not going with us is she?" The messy haired, Prussian blue eyed boy asked.
"No, I plan to stay here... But the base will probably self destruct in 10 minutes, so you better hurry..." Duo's jaw dropped, the girl who saved his life, who comforted him, and was helping him escape was going to give her life when it wasn't necissary? No way, he wasn't going to let that happen...
"You're kidding! You're coming, like it or not!" Duo grabbed her arm and pushed her ahead, Jessy was quite stunned by his affection, and concern. She could tell Heero was in shock over the ordeal too, he had a blank look of surprise and his mouth was slightly gaped open.
"Duo...Why?" She asked him, she hadn't planned him to be this way, she had always planned on blowing up the damn base after he left...She didn't have a reason to live, she was just the equivalent to an orphan, her stuck up brother her only real family...Yet he lived in a military facility, and forced Jessy to become a soldier also when she had turned 15 and passed all her exams. She hadn't had any real freedom or say since Duo, and he was so kind and had endured so much, she felt it necissary that he live... Duo looked at the girl, and smiled.
"I asked you the same thing...Remember? Kindness, compassion, what ever...I have to repay my debt to you...And I can't do that when you're dead!" He told her outright...She smiled understandingly. Heero meanwhile looked like he wanted to gag... He wasn't the emotional type, and the damn girl was an OZZIE!
"Down this way..." She lead the way to the unoccupied jeep she'd left for Duo to escape in. Heero had informed the two that DeathScythe Hell and Wing Zero waited for them 3 miles off to the South of the base. All they had to do was get the gundams and help the others, until the base was destroyed, not to mention all the Mobile suits and dolls.
"There! Lets hurry..." She told the two, as a group of five soldiers came out the back way after them. They fired at the three teens, and one was lucky enough to get a hit. "Ugh. Heero you drive..." Jessy snapped as she pulled herself into the back seat. The two gundam pilots didn't pay no attention to Jessy, who held her side in silence. She felt the blood pour out of her abdomen freely, as she tried to put pressure there and stop the bleeding...There was a shirt in the back seat, beside her, she folded it up and sat it under her uniform jacket. Remarkably her jacket hadn't been hit nor had it had any blood on it, so hopefully she could conceal her wound long enough...
She knew the bullet was quite deep as the gun that had shot her was a new model handgun, she couldn't remember the name of. It was high powered and meant for longer distances, but she was shot at a fair range, the bullet was imbedded about 5 inches in. She sat there waiting patiently for them to arrive at the gundams, she didn't know what they would do with her, but she would manage. Then the thought hit her, the new prototype gundam the base had constructed, supposedly they had a system already installed, called Macquez, named after the creator, Mark Macquez. The gundam hadn't had a name, nor had she even seen it but once a few days before when searching for her brother. The shaft that held the gundam wouldn't have been destroyed by a self destruction, it had 20 feet of titanium above it, to ensure safety for the main mobile suit unit and the studies of the new gundam.
They had arrived at a large incline, or cavern, Heero and Duo jumped out and ran inside the cavern without a word. Jessy miserably crawled into the front seat of the jeep and started it. She turned around and drove back to the base, there was only 4 minutes for her to get underground. She struggled back inside, unseen and swiped her card in one of the lesser entrances to the paddock for the Suits. She stumbled down the stairs and almost fell as she passed the corner. She had lost a lot of blood, her body was running out of energy, she didn't have a rush of adrenaline to keep her going. She looked at the nearby unit quarters, all were empty. Then she seen it, the block that held the prototype gundam. She ran, well as well as someone shot in the gut could run, to the side of the Gundam. She rushed up to the balcony into the cock pit. The monitors and buttons were fashioned much like a mobile suit, which she had the fortune of piloting a few times.
"Alright...Lets try this..." She typed in a few simple buttons and pushed the button in the far left corner. The hatch closed and the monitors to see flicked on. She took the controls and tried to see if the new Gundam would move...It did, quit freely too, a lot easier than her brother's MS, which was top of the line and one of the most expensive. "Alright, lets go..." She barely even notice the strain on her body, which was pretty numb from the loose of blood anyway. The gundam moved with ease and soon was awaiting the dock to open, and release her. The hatch opened and she flew out...
"What's that?" Asked the platinum blonde piloting the gundam called Sandrock. "Is that a gundam?" He asked quit horrified at the large mobile suit that rose from the rubble of the destroyed base.
"It can't be!" Wufei told him, quite skeptical tho, it looked much like a gundam, it raced upward and then swerved to the side. It fired a gun on its left arm at a couple of Mobile suits that flew its way. "Seems to be on our side..." He stated, looking on and fighting at the same time. The fifty remaining Dolls and Suits were soon disabled, and the new unknown gundam flew toward the others.
"Duo..." Was what they heard, as the gundam wobbled shakily to the ground and landed, in a collapsing manner. Duo looked horrified, he typed in a few buttons and got the screen of the new gundam to pop up.
"JESSY!" He shouted, and opened his hatch. He had jumped to the ground and was running toward the prototype gundam.
"Duo, is it that Oz girl?" Heero asked, slightly wincing as he jumped from the cockpit of Wing Zero.
"Yeah!" Duo shouted back to the injured Japanese, as he tried to open the cockpit of the gundam. Finally he succeeded and unbuckled the unconscious and very pale teen. "She's really out of it! O Shit! She was shot earlier!" He shouted back to the other pilots who had gathered around the feet of the gundam. Trowa climbed up beside Duo and looked down at the lifeless girl. "Trowa...Can you take her down, and put her in DeathScythe for me?" He asked in a near whisper to his tall comrade.
"Sure..." Trowa said uneasily, but did as he was asked. The girl wasn't the lightest, she was muscular which cause her to be bulky and weigh more than usual. He stood on the hand for a second, before regaining his balance, the gundam had been at an odd angle. "What the fuck?" Escaped Trowa's lips, his emerald eyes widened as the gundam moved in a crouch position, and sat it's hand on the ground, allowing Trowa to easily get off.
"The damn gundam has a mind of its own!'' Wufei said worriedly, this gundam was unique, and seemed very complex, if it had a mind of its own, or responsded so well to its pilot.
"Put her in Sandrock, Quatre has more room in there than any of us..." Duo told Trowa, pointing to Quatre's gundam. Soon Jessy was settled behind the seat in the cock pit of Sandrock. All the other pilots were ready to leave, when Duo moved in front of the Jessy's gundam. It was black, purple, and red, it reminded Duo of DeathScythe in a way. He was able lock onto the gundam and get it to follow him and DeathScythe, by an energy rope that connected the two.
Soon all were back at their safe house, and Wufei this time picked up Jessy. He moved her to the large couch where Quatre had insisted he place her. "That gunshot was pretty deep, how come you didn't notice it before Duo?" Quatre asked, looking into the sad, worried, and pain filled amethyst eyes.
"Don't know, to worried about getting to DeathScythe, and destroying the base, when we flew out of the cavern to get her, the jeep was gone..." He told his Arabian friend. "How bad is she?" He asked, watching his friend poor numbing solution of the area and then poke in a long sterilized pair of tweezers. Quatre shook his head, as he finally reached resistance, the bullet. It was roughly 5 inches deep, and Quatre set to the task of actually pulling it out.
"This is going to take awhile...She'll live if her body can stand the loose of blood...If it can't handle that then she'll surely die..." Quatre told the American outright, knowing it best to tell the truth.
"I am sure she'll live, do you think it best we take her to the hospital? Trowa can go in and say she's oz and was shot while struggling with one of the gundam pilots...That way she's sure to live, and doesn't put any of us in danger..." Duo suggested, feeling a burden lift off of his chest, he didn't want her to die...But he didn't want her to leave either...
Trowa looked a little skeptical at going inside an Oz hospital, with one of their soldiers... He stepped in and rushed with the girl in his arms to the front desk. He looked flush, which is what carrying her for a quarter mile would do...She was heavy and he was at a wide stride pace, which he purposely wanted to look strained, to add to the effects of the hospital. "Hey, my friend needs help...She got shot a little while ago, by a gundam pilot I think..." He kind of stammered, and followed the worried woman to a open emergency tables. "We tried fixing her up best we could before we got here...Me and my brother..." He stammered again, he wasn't the best at such stressful lying, and about a brother and the oz being his friend...
"I see please leave...Now!" The woman told him shooing him away and closing the door behind him, as another undressed Jessy. Trowa walked back outside and down a few streets, back to his comrades.
"Well? Did the fall for it?" Quatre asked curiously, wondering why Trowa looked so pale. "Are you ok?" He asked the tall comrade who nodded and they all returned to the safe house.
