Part Two
By: Maria / GV
'Thoughts' Dream Sequence
A/N: Ok, here I am again with this story. Hopefully no one minds that I am working on this, especially since I have so many other stories that I should work on… sort of. Anyways… It's kinda suppose to be from some alternative universe basically. And still I don't have all the ideas laid out to what I want to happen with the character I added. Enjoy if can. PS. Gundam Wing is mine… I have the deed that says so!
"This of course is Seika, my partner and friend." Yuzuriha finishes.
They stare at her then one another. "Uh, well I'm Duo Maxwell, pilot of the Gundam Deathscythe." Duo grins.
"I'm Quatre Raberba Winner and Sandrock is my Gundam." In his saying his name Yuzuriha stared hard at him.
"Why is the heir of the Winner family… never… I suppose we all have our reasons for what we do." Yuzuriha looked at the other boys.
Wu Fei glared and crossed his arms. Trowa stared at her blankly. Heero was busy with his laptop.
"Trowa Barton – Heavy Arms." Trowa says quietly.
Duo points to Wu Fei. "He's Wu Fei Chang the Gundam pilot of Nataku and that's Heero Yuy pilot of Wing.'
Wu Fei walks over to Duo. "You shouldn't be telling her who we are, her mission was to come get information on us for some Duke guy."
"I didn't accept the mission and that is because I never thought I'd be able to find you guys." Yuzuriha shakes her head. "It was a bit of luck that I did."
Wu Fei continues glaring. "But you were probably going to go accept it once you took information from Nataku."
"What I was going to do is, plainly none of your business." She stands up. "But I've got to go. Keep the disc I was using."
"We're not letting you go." Heero was suddenly on his feet, gun pointed at her. "We were to capture you and send you to Doctor J. Sit down." Heero stares at her.
Yuzuriha smiles. "Make… Me… Heero." She stares back at him.
Heero's laptop suddenly started beeping, causing Heero to pull the trigger. Yuzuriha dove under a table.
"Heero, you freak put up the gun!" Duo shouted. "You could have shot someone."
Heero was seated again in front of the laptop, staring at the screen and Doctor J. "We found Black Tiger."
"Well put him on the line." Doctor J ordered. Heero nods, he walks over to Yuzuriha and grabs her arms.
"Hey jerk, let go!" She pulled her arm free and had Heero's gun in the other. Heero was a bit surprised. They stood staring at each other some more, until a voice interrupted their moment.
"So you're the one people call the Black Tiger. I would never have expected the Black to be a woman." Doctor J said.
Yuzuriha turned glaring at Doctor J. "A woman can do by far more than one of you testosterone filled monkeys ever could. Now what the hell do you want with me, because I am not going anywhere to visit you?"
Doctor J laughs. "Since you won't come here, I want you to work with our pilots."
Yuzuriha shook her head. "Sorry but I work alone and I don't work unpaid like your pilots."
Wu Fei didn't like the idea of working with a girl and someone who wasn't even a Gundam pilot.
Duo stepped close to her. "But you haven't even tried working with someone other than your cat."
"She's all I need. Besides if I did partner up with people, it wouldn't be a group of boys." She turns back to the screen. "So find someone else."
"She'd only get in our way, women don't belong in important matters like war."
"Come say that to my face sword boy." Yuzuriha stepped towards Wu Fei.
"Will everyone stop acting like a pack of children!" Quatre said finally annoyed with them.
Yuzuriha sat down. "Look Doctor J, or whoever you are, I want to know what you want from me that you sent these boys looking for me."
Doctor J nods. "Your fame is everywhere. People in high places and low say when they need a serious matter taken care of, there's one person to contact, especially if all else has failed, since you're pricey. Like I said you are pricey, but you do the job and do it well. Recently you've been aiding the enemy, so some believe you have chosen a side in this war."
She laughs. "Everyone is an enemy in this war. I've picked no side at the moment but my own side. I will not join you if you think I'll be on 'your side' and to help you win the war."
Quatre looked worried. Duo frowned. "But surely you want to protect the people on Earth and those in the colonies, we're doing that. Protecting the people of the colonies. You should join us."
"No, I work on my own on whatever missions I want. I'm just an undercover agent working towards my goals."
"I'll pay your fee." Doctor J said. "For everyday you help us."
She turned to look at him surprised. Her eyes narrow. "Do you know how much I charge?"
He grins. "Depends on the missions, most of the time, but since this will be a constant job – I'll pay the maximum I've heard you charge. Ten thousand dollars for each day, no matter how long your services are required."
Duo practically choked. Wu Fei was shocked too. Yuzuriha stared at Doctor J blankly. He starts laughing. "You really must visit me one day my dear. I'll take your silence as a yes. I'll send your first payment after everyone completes this mission." He disappears from the screen and information starts flowing across the screen. They all gathered around to look.
When everything was done, Yuzuriha got up and started pacing. Seika was curled up in a chair sleeping and the guys watched her.
"Arg! I should have said NO!" She punches the wall, frustrated.
"I'm going home." She walked over to her bag and picked it up.
"You can't leave." Wu Fei started.
"Ha… like Hell I can't. I agreed, somehow, to help you all, not to be your prisoner or your slave. Come Seika." The cat rose and jumped onto her shoulders.
"It's really late." Quatre says. ("Or early…" Duo mutters.) "You should stay the night. Then in the morning we can plan this mission better."
Yuzuriha walked up to Quatre. "Why do you want me to stay? Hoping to sleep with me?" Quatre's face went red along with Wu Fei's, both for two different reasons. Duo starts laughing. Heero and Trowa stand there.
"How dare you accuse Quatre of that!" Wu Fei yelled. "He happens to have respect for people, especially girls. He was trying to be a gentleman."
She looks at Wu Fei blankly, than raises Heero's gun – that was still in her hand. They all stiffen, but she only tosses it back to Heero. She looks back at Quatre, examining him closely.
"I apologize." Quatre smiles cautiously. "I'll stay the rest of the night, as long as sword boy stays away from me, I don't like him."
Wu Fei growls. "Hey! I don't like you either, stupid weak woman!"
Duo laughs. "How cute, you guys have become playmates."
"Shut up, Duo." They both shout.
Trowa whispers to Duo. "More like a lovers spat."
o0 Two Hours Later 0o
Yuzuriha sighs and continues to pet Seika who was sleeping peacefully. It was three thirty in the morning, but she hadn't gotten much more sleep than five minutes. They'd only just gone to bed an hour and a half ago, but she was finding it hopeless for her. She didn't trust those guys and so she couldn't sleep. She was worried about working with them too. 'Maybe I should do this one mission with them and then tell that old guy no, I quit. But ten thousand dollars a day… I'm not greedy… I really don't need, need it but… ten thousand a day. I can't say no to it.'
Yuzuriha got up and took the blanket Quatre had given her to use. She opened the front door as quietly as she could. Their rooms were in the back but she was sure they all had sharp hearing. She sat down on the porch by the door with the blanket wrapped around her.
The air was cool but not too cold. The stars were slowly fading from the sky. It was nice and quiet.
o0 Dream 0o
Yuzuriha looked around through the light haze covering the air. She coughed every now and then. She could see lights flashing in different parts. There was rubble all over and people screaming everywhere. Yuzuriha's heart was pounding hard in her chest, it was getting harder and harder to breathe. She fell to her knees and tried to take deep breaths and calm herself.
"This is nothing… just make belief." She whispers to herself.
Yuzuriha gets up and walks over to her four year old self. The little girl was crying and shaking. A small piece of the building had hit her on the head when she had fallen back and something had cut her legs, not severely. Yuzuriha touches the girl's head, even though the child didn't feel anything. She stands up and leaves her childhood shadow. She walks towards the area she remembers her parents had stood.
"They're fine, you'll see, just an illusion keeps them from running out to get me. You'll see." She whispers hopeful.
Yuzuriha walked over to the rubble, looking for her parents to be sitting amongst the debris confused as to what happened. She stopped as the fallen, broken glass and concrete vanishes from under her feet and two bloody corpses stand up and stare at her with empty eye sockets.
"Yuzuriha… Yuzuriha." They keep gurgling her name, limping towards her.
Yuzuriha tries to turn and run but can't move.
o0
Yuzuriha eyes burst open, with two people looking down at her. She punches one face away and he drops her on the floor. Heero sits up, rubbing his face and looks at her as though she was crazy. Duo was kneeling by her.
"Are you ok?" Duo asks. She was staring at him as though she didn't know him. She blinked several times before realizing where she was.
Heero grunts and gets up. "I'll make sure not to do that again. She can sit out there and freeze." He walks down the hall.
Yuzuriha sits up. "What happened?"
"You were asleep out in the porch. You had a bit of a fever, so Heero picked you up and brought you in. It took me a while to wake you though… you were dreaming I think." Duo shrugs.
"No, it was a nightmare." She mutters as Wu Fei walks into the living room.
Wu Fei smirks. "Scared of the boogie man? …Weakling." He walks towards the kitchen.
Yuzuriha was on her feet in a split second and had tackled Wu Fei in another. She sat on his back, with his face pressing against the floor.
"Get her off me, Duo!" Wu Fei yelled.
Duo stared at them. "Come on you guys – you're going to wake everyone."
"If he keeps harassing me I'm going to fix his male ego by making sure he's no longer a man." She got off of Wu Fei.
Quatre, Heero and Trowa walk into the living room and look at the three. Quatre walked over to Duo and whispered. "What's going on?"
Duo sighs. "Wu Fei made a rude comment and pissed off Yuzuriha."
Quatre closes his eyes. "They act like children when they're around one another."
"Maybe we should let them finish the fight they had going last night… maybe that will help." Quatre looked at Duo doubtful.
Trowa walks over to Yuzuriha and takes her arm. She looks at him. He smiles and tells her. "Perhaps you'd care to take a walk with me."
She rolls her eyes but nods and they walk out of the house with Seika behind them. Wu Fei stands there and glares at the front door. Heero actually walks up behind him and hits the back of Wu Fei's head.
"Ow… what the Hell is wrong with you, Yuy?" Wu Fei shouts.
"Nothing, stop causing problems for all of us." Heero walks into the kitchen.
o0 Outside 0o
"I'm going home…" Yuzuriha said as they walked outside. "Tell the others that." She looks at Trowa. "I'll give you my apartment phone number. Call when things get figured out for this mission tonight."
Yuzuriha tells Trowa her phone number and has him repeat it back to her twice.
"You didn't have breakfast?" Trowa made the comment into a question as she walks towards the trees and her motorcycle. "Or at least change to warmer clothes… what about your clothes from yesterday?"
"Nah, I've got clothes at home – I'll bring Duo's clothes back later." She was wearing one of his t-shirts and pajama shorts.
Trowa shrugs and goes back inside. He quickly writes the number down and goes to the kitchen to tell everyone that she left and would be back later.
o0 Kitchen 0o
"Where'd B.T. go?" Duo asked as he ate some of his cereal.
"What is she a fast food chain?" Wu Fei mutters at Duo's B.T. comment.
"Do you think she's ok with scrambled eggs?" Quatre asks quickly, trying to avoid more arguments.
"She went home so don't worry about breakfast for her." He said and sat down.
"What!" Duo and Wu Fei shout. Quatre and Heero look at Trowa.
"She left a number for us and said she'd be back."
"And you believed her!" Wu Fei yelled.
"It's going to be kinda boring without her here to torment Wu Fei." Duo remarks, receiving a nasty look from Wu Fei.
Quatre sighs. "She left with an empty stomach."
"And not enough sleep." Heero says looking through some documents.
o0 Yuzuriha's Apartment 0o
Yuzuriha gets home and smiles. 'Home… thank the plague, I'm home.' She hurries up the stairs with Seika. She quickly feeds her cat.
"Let's go do some quick laps and then I'm going to sleep." Yuzuriha walks to her laptop to see if there were any new mission messages, but there were none.
After Seika finished they went jogging and she got her usual lemonade, it was almost a normal morning. When they returned she went to bed to sleep a little more, but she couldn't sleep. 'Why am I not surprised. Insomnia is going to pop it's ugly head at me now.' She went and sat in the living room and stared out her window. 'Maybe I should look up some junk information about this base these Scientists want us attacking…'
She got on her laptop and hacked into the bases system files. She started looking up information on all the soldiers who were stationed on the base. As she scanned special 'guests' arriving later today she ran into an interesting look guy.
'Zechs Merquise… sounds familiar. Beloved hero of all the OZ soldiers. Seems like he's got some talent – he must be a challenge in battle for those Gundam pilots. He's pretty young for a big time hero… nineteen.' She stared at the file. 'He'd probably be cuter without that crazy helmet though.'
'Well what other fascinating OZ officials can I find." She goofed around other files. She finds one on Treize. 'Now I know I've heard of him… he's too young to be in charge.'
Seika meows at her, startling her. "Eh? How do you know I was thinking he's too young? Besides I'm not a big shot like those two… according to these guys, Seika I'm lagging behind if I want to make it big."
Her phone rings and she stares at it confused. "Huh… weird." She walks over to the phone and picks it up. "Hello?"
"Yuzuriha?" She recognized the voice as Quatre's.
"Hey Quatre, do you need something?" She says calmly.
"Doctor J sent another message and a package here for you. We're going to lay out the mission details… soo."
"I'll be there in twenty minutes." Yuzuriha mentally sighs.
"Great – have you had lunch?"
Yuzuriha was caught off guard. "Um… actually no." Haven't eaten all day she added to herself. "I have to go get ready. See you in twenty." She quickly hung up.
"Alright Seika we've got to get going… shouldn't be so bad right?" Yuzuriha went into her bedroom and grabbed some of her clothes, toothbrush and paste, and her hairbrush. She put all of it into a duffle bag. She grabbed the clothes Duo let her use as well – she had cleaned them for him. She grabbed a book, some music and a CD player and Seika's favorite pillow. The cat sat by the door way watching. She meows at her owner.
"You don't know how long we could be there for. I'm just being prepared." Yuzuriha says zipping up the bag. She goes out to the living room, and shuts off her laptop and packs it up. "Ok this should be everything… oh tuna." She quickly grabs six cans of it and throws them in the duffle bag. "Now let's go."
o0 Outside the Cabin House 0o
Yuzuriha got there in about twenty minutes, maybe a little more than twenty. She knocks on the door and waits for someone to answer it. Seika was laying on the duffle bag she held, staring at the door. " I bet you're hoping that Trowa guy opens the door… you are getting attached missy. Stop it."
The door opened and it was Wu Fei with Trowa behind him. Yuzuriha was about to glare but decided to attempt to be civilized with Wu Fei. "Hey… Quatre called so I came as quickly as I could."
Wu Fei glared, while Trowa watched him. "Hurry up and get inside."
Yuzuriha felt like punching him but said nothing and turned to talk to Trowa. "Quatre mentioned a package and a planning session…?"
"Yeah, every things here in the living room. The package has your disguise according to the note that came with it, since you'll be inside the base while we're attacking from the outside."
Seika jumped off the bag and rubbed up against Trowa's leg. Trowa picked her up with a smile, while Yuzuriha rolled her eyes and frowned at her happy cat.
Duo came from out of nowhere at that moment. "Alright, welcome back!"
Yuzuriha stared at him and thought 'Like I had a choice.' "Please don't give me none of that false 'happy to see you' crap. I can't stand it. We should get started on this plan."
Duo frowns. "But I was glad to see you. It was too quiet. I can't cause all the ruckus on my own, you know!"
Yuzuriha stared at his smiling face oddly. Then she started laughing, causing all three to look at her strangely. "I guess you're not soo bad for a testosterone filled monkey, Duo." She sits down on the floor. Duo smiles and sits next to her.
Quatre and Heero walk in with a tray of sandwiches and drinks. Quatre smiled at Yuzuriha who looked pleased to be by Duo. They all sat on the floor around a coffee table with the food in front of them. Quatre sat down on the other side of Yuzuriha, Heero sat to Quatre's right, Wu Fei to Heero's right and Trowa was next to Duo.
Yuzuriha pulls Duo's clothes out of her bag. "Here's your clothes, thanks for lending them to me. They've been washed so don't worry about germs or something."
Duo grinned. "You really didn't have to wash them. Thanks."
"As it is most of the time he doesn't wash his clothes till he runs out or they begin to smell." Heero tells her and Duo sticks his tongue out at Heero.
"I don't wait that long…" He tells her.
"So what's the plan so far?" She asks grabbing a napkin and lays it over her dark blue jeans. They sat for a moment and watched her get a sandwich, checked to see what was in it and then get a drink.
"Well from what the last message coming from the scientists you're going to play the distraction… sort like bait." Duo tells her grabbing a sandwich himself.
"The rest of us will be piloting our Gundams and attacking the base. You basically have forty five minutes to get the video files and the data on the weapons out before Heero and Duo set off a few explosives they have to plant." Quatre added. "Wu Fei will be closest to you when you exit and then we can all retreat." Quatre drew a mini diagram of what was to go on and where everyone should be.
Wu Fei didn't look at all pleased, but Yuzuriha didn't like it herself. "Sounds easy enough – I guess." She sat back. "But wouldn't we have more trouble with that Zechs guy?"
They look at her confused. "What are you talking about? What about Zechs?" Wu Fei demands.
"He's going to be on the base at the time we're attacking. Didn't anyone notice?" They stared blankly at her.
"Heero can probably keep him amused during that time." Duo says
"But he's going to be planting bombs – meaning he has to do one or the other." She pauses. "Not that you can't do both, but it will be kinda tough if for some reason he gets to his mobile suit before you're done planting and setting them off." They saw the point.
Quatre thought for a moment about the situation. "I'll help Duo then, so the rest can keep the OZ soldiers busy, long enough for us to do what we need to."
Yuzuriha looked at Quatre. "I agree that you should lay out the explosives but wouldn't it be wised to have Duo, Heero and either Trowa or Wu Fei out attacking the base. You and either Trowa or Wu Fei, however you three want to arrange it, set up the bombs." She said cautiously not wanting Wu Fei yelling at her again. "I mean the base is sort of shaped like a beam of light from a flashlight, so if those three, preferably the faster moving suits, attacked from the front while the two with the explosives drive the soldiers towards the middle and forward… well it would be a bit crowded, but easier to attack and win, right? Plus when everyone's escaping the fast suits will have less trouble retreating from the front lines. While you and your partner bombsters leave through the back. Which would be the direction I'd have to take to get out. Does that make sense?" Yuzuriha suggests, biting into her sandwich.
They sat dumbfounded for several moments. Trowa smirks a little and Wu Fei was puzzled. Heero nods. "I can see why Doctor J would want to have you visit." Heero says.
Duo laughs and Quatre's face brightens.
She stared at Heero. "Why?"
Duo leaned against her. "Didn't you hear your plan just now? It was pretty good and probably will work really well." Yuzuriha frowns.
"It wasn't a big deal, you'd all have figured it out." She shrugs.
"Perhaps, but we hadn't. How'd you know so much about the base?" Quatre asked.
"I was looking stuff up at home." She says and shrugs again. "I don't like running an assignment without lots of deals… even pointless deal. But what exactly am I doing to distract the soldiers?"
Duo laughs and Quatre looked embarrassed. "Well you're…"
"They want you to dance and strip." Duo says smiling.
"Oh." She gets another sandwich. The G-boys look at one another.
"Oh?" Wu Fei says. "That's it, just oh?"
"It's not really a big deal." She looks at them. "Not the best, but not anything to cry over."
Wu Fei looked annoyed. "How can you say that! As a woman…! Don't you have any self respect?"
"It's just a mission, not a life career, and I doubt I'll get completely naked for the little soldier boys. So don't worry. You gentlemen will be attacking and we could probably wire up the outfit so you can hear if I'm in need of assistance." She smiles. "But I won't let you see a damn thing." Yuzuriha grabs a third sandwich.
"You hungry?" Duo asks. Yuzuriha shakes her head.
"Not at all." She grins at Duo. "So what event requires my services exactly – besides distraction?"
Trowa was looking at some information on Heero's laptop. "Party… birthday party I believe." He glances at her.
Wu Fei still looked very annoyed. Yuzuriha stood up and grabbed the box with her disguise inside. "I'm going to put this on and then we can work on getting the wiring put in. Probably best to have it put into the bra."
She walks down to the bathroom. Wu Fei stood up. "This is indecency! Those Scientists can come up with a better way for her to help. They're toying around with all of us."
"I thought you didn't like her?" Duo grins. Wu Fei glares at him. "Just because I don't like her doesn't mean I'm going to be pleased with a woman stripping in front of a men she doesn't know."
"She's doing her part according to Doctor J's orders and not complaining so shut up and sit down." Heero said closing his eyes.
"Yuy, stop ordering everyone around." Wu Fei crosses his arms.
Heero stood up and walked up to Wu Fei. " You're disturbing the mission."
Quatre stood. "Guys knock it off. Everyone needs to get along if we're to accomplish our missions."
"Hey this outfit already came with a microphone in it. So how does it look?" Yuzuriha asks walking into the living room. The outfit consisted of a coffee brown mini skirt that went down to just above mid thigh with slits on either side. The top looked similar to a sports bra with buttons in the front, also in coffee brown, and it had long sleeves of veil material in a gold color. She had brown spiked high heels with straps wrapping up her legs to her knees. "Will it be distracting enough? What about my hair? Up or down?"
Wu Fei's mouth had dropped open. Heero and Trowa were staring blankly, while Duo was smirking and Quatre's face turned pink. No one answered her.
"Oh! You are all annoying! Can't answer a simple question professionally!" She turned to leave. "But seeing that you have your feet in your mouths, I'll consider that to me it's distracting enough."
Duo laughs. "Your legs will get their attention."
"MAXWELL!" Wu Fei yelled. Yuzuriha rolled her eyes and walked back to the bathroom.
"Everyone needs to sit down and calm down." Trowa said. "We need to decide if I'm going to help Quatre with the bombs or not, Wu Fei. This party starts around seven, and we're due to stage the attack by eight fifteen."
Yuzuriha comes back in her normal clothes. "So they'll possibly bring me out at around eight, meaning time for everyone to show up for the part, me to distract them for fifteen minutes and Quatre and someone else to lay out some bombs. Well then, let's get everything rolling."
o0 Hours Later 0o
Yuzuriha sat on her motorcycle waiting to get to the guards booth for admittance to the base. She left Seika behind for this job. So she was alone. The vehicle in front of her went in, so she slowly drove up to the guard on gate watch. "Hi, I'm here for a birthday party." She says calmly handing him fake documents granting her permission to enter. 'Still it sounds rather dumb to be here for a party… this is a base not a playhouse.'
The guard looks her over cautiously. She was wearing a long tan trench coat so she figured that it made him uneasy. "What's under the coat?"
She giggles, which was part of her innocent stripper girl routine although she felt a bit dumb doing it. "Just me." She opens it to show him the little outfit she was wearing.
His face went red. He quickly hands her, her papers and opens the gates. Yuzuriha smiles. "Will you be at the party?" She asked coyly.
"Uh… no I've got watch duty." He looks around nervously.
"Too bad, I was hoping to know at least one person." She said goodbye and hurried in.
o0 G-Boys 0o
Quatre opened a communication link to Wu Fei, who volunteered to help set up the explosives, much to the others surprise. "We should get started, it's just about eight so we have twenty minutes till Heero, Duo and Trowa start the attack. We'll serve as back up with the explosives and our Gundams if necessary. So let's work fast Wu Fei. Keep an eye out for Yuzuriha, too."
Wu Fei nods and the link is shut off. Wu Fei quickly gets out of his Gundam and cuts an opening in the fence. Everything was so quiet, he found it strange that everyone would have gone off to a birthday party, let alone have one on the base. Then he thought of Yuzuriha stripping, but shook his head to clear it. 'It's inappropriate!'
Quatre was working fast, he knew Duo knew enough about explosives to have built them properly without worry of one exploding in his hands, but he was worried about Yuzuriha being inside the base and coming out when the fighting was taking place.
'Hopefully everything will turn out alright.'
o0 Inside 0o
Yuzuriha was rolled into the room of the party earlier then she thought but it wasn't by much, so she wasn't worried.
"We've got one last gift for you, Lieutenant!" The soldier who told her it was her time said.
She heard footsteps approaching and she counted slowly then jumped through the paper at the top of the box. "Surprise!" She shouts cheerfully.
The Lieutenant was startled, almost as much as she was to see it was the Zechs Merquise she looked at earlier on the files. Yuzuriha smiles widely and steps out of the box slowly showing off her legs from under the coat.
"Well birthday boy… why don't you return to your seat and let me give you your special gift." She runs a finger across his cheek to his lips Zechs gave her a strange smile and took her hand in his own. He lifted it to his lips and softly kissed it. He let her go and went to sit in the chair they'd put for him in the center of the room.
Yuzuriha walked a little ways away before she whispers "Zechs" hoping it would give the guys outside a clue on who she was entertaining.
o0 Outside 0o
Duo was laughing within his hidden Gundam. "She's really good at this by the sound of it. 'Let me give you your special gift.' Zechs must be extremely happy right about now."
"Duo, be quiet! We have a mission you should be focused on." Heero warned Duo.
Duo frowns. Trowa had his eyes closed. "Make sure not to screw up for her sake. She's unarmed in there. I don't think Seika would forgive us if she didn't return with us."
"Oooh, Trowa's got something going with Yuzuriha's cat. I'm sure she'll be glad to know it. Besides she is armed…" Duo laughs as both Trowa and Heero warn him about his joking around.
o0 Inside 0o
The lights were dimmed slightly and some music started up. Yuzuriha again had a moment of panic, but calmed down. She pulled the coat off and tossed it to one side. The soldiers cheered. 'Perverted monkeys.' She thought as she spun around in a small circle. She walks towards Zechs and did another spin. With her back to Zechs she kicked one foot up into his lap. She turned her head to look at him then lowers her eyes to the straps of her shoes.
Zechs reaches for the straps and unbuckles it, and slowly runs his hands up her legs. 'He's just as bad as they are.' She groaned in her head. She kicks her leg forward, sending the shoe flying off. Then does the same with the other shoe once it's undone.
She straddles Zechs lap and kisses his cheeks. "Thank you." She whispers and leans in to kiss his lips but draws away, with a playful grin, when he leans in. She danced and spun to the music, then eases her top off revealing a gold colored bra, all the while watching Zechs. Her body moved with each beat of the music and she let her skirt drop as she danced closer to him.
Again Yuzuriha sat on his lap, although this time she grabbed his hands and raised them up her sides and helped slide them up her spine towards the hook of the bra. She let his hands go and let him unhook her bra then she got up and walked away, swaying her hips. She turned back to look at him and let the straps slide down her shoulders but before she could do anything more there was a sudden explosion that sent her flying to the ground. She was shocked. 'Crap, I forgot…' She felt stupid there on the ground.
The soldiers were running out of the big room and Yuzuriha sat up holding her bra in place and knelt there on the ground as they took off. Just then a hand appeared before her. She looked up and saw Zechs standing there, offering to help her up.
"Sorry, I guess I won't be finishing." She takes his hand and stands; afterwards rehooking her bra.
Zechs smiles. "Maybe later in private." Yuzuriha's face burned.
Zechs quickly grabbed all her clothes and then her. He carried her to what she assumed was his quarters for the night. "Stay here, I'll come back for you." He leaves, locking the door from the outside.
'Hmph… yeah I bet.' She puts on her skirt and shirt, looking around.
'I need to get out and get what is required for this mission to be a success.' She hurried to the window and opens it. There was a ledge wide enough for her small feet to walk across. 'Good, from here I can get around the building and head for the surveillance building and weapons programming center.'

"There is nothing to worry about guys. These soldiers aren't enough to hold us down." Duo says to his partners.
"Don't forget Zechs still hasn't shown up but he will." Trowa mentions.
"I'll handle him when he comes." Heero tells them as he destroys two enemy Aries and fires at a few of the land tanks.
"Yeah, yeah Superstar. He's all yours." Duo mutters and tears down a water tank.
Quatre had finished with his bomb planting when the attack from the other three began. He quickly got into Sandrock and set off the first set of explosives on his side. A second or two after his went off, Wu Fei's side exploded as well. Quatre was relieved.
o0 Surveillance Building 0o
Yuzuriha got to the surveillance building in no time. Luckily there wasn't anyone around as far as she could tell. She hurried to the main room and started looking up records of previous weeks in search of the targeted records. She had a headache building and figured it was due to the coolness outside and having her ass practically bare to the world. Not to mention the close by explosions. She quickly started pulling out all the computer main drive discs with the video records she needed. She found a bag to put them in and hurried out of the room.
As she exited the room she ran into someone. She stared at the man who was gripping her arms, it was the front gate soldier. He tried to turn her around and cuff her but she fought back and threw him over her shoulders. He was knocked out once he hit the wall. She checked for a pulse and then quickly left. 'I'll be back for you…' She thought as she ran.

Heero was busy battling it out with Zechs, as Trowa and Duo focused on holding back the soldiers and destroying the base bit by bit. Quatre and Wu Fei hadn't set off the second set of explosives yet. Duo opened a link to Quatre. "What are you waiting for Quatre? Our funerals!"
"Eh? Oh sorry Duo… I got worried about…"
Duo interrupted him. "We're all worried but we've each got tasks at hand – so as everyone's been telling me, focus on yours! Set them off or we're going to get swamped!" Duo cut the line and ripped through two Aries.
"Let's set them off, Wu Fei." Quatre tells Wu Fei, pressing the switch to the second group of bombs.
o0 Weapons Room 0o
Yuzuriha ran into the weapons manufacturing room and quickly looked into the computer system for the weapons information on the newest Leo model and some special Hyper Canon Buster. She kept her eyes opened for anything new and suspicious. She managed to find a usable disc to collect all the information in and downloaded it all as a second wave of explosions went off. 'Two more… well technically one, before I'm late.' She went over to a group of parts for one of the Canon Busters they were using as a demonstration of its uses. She found the main part to the weapon and took it with her.
Once she had the disc finished she ran out of the room and back to where she left the soldier. She picked him up as best she could. 'I can't take him all the way with me… it'll just slow me down. What should I do with him?'
She exited the surveillance building and remembered something she had read earlier when she was snooping in the bases files. 'The building I was dancing in is specially supported for crazy attacks like this, especially it's underground basement. I'll send him there. The building will more than likely survive.' She hurried into the building across from the one she exited.
Yuzuriha looked around for the elevator. It was on the far side on the left. She tried to hurry but the soldier was heavy. Once the doors opened she laid him inside and pushed the basement button. As the doors closed he started coming around, barely noticing her. She ran towards the exit and then towards where she knew Wu Fei would be stationed.
o0 Wu Fei 0o
Wu Fei got the message to set off the third set of explosives and it wasn't till the further away ones were going off that he saw Yuzuriha running his way, still too close to the buildings. He opens the hatch and jumps out of Nataku. He runs towards Yuzuriha. "Get down! I just set the..."
But the bombs closest to her went off. Yuzuriha was thrown into the air and crashed on to the ground, a piece of metal cutting her left thigh as she tries to get up. She winces but continues to get up. As she stands, she sees ply wood flying towards Wu Fei.
"Watch out Wu Fei!" She yells trying to run faster. The wood hits him on the head and he falls to the ground. "Wu Fei!"
She ran hard over to him, forgetting her about her leg. She kneels by him and checks for his pulse. He had one and she sighed with relief. "Thank you!" He did have a nasty cut and a swelling bruise on his head though. She carefully examined his head and neck, then carefully picked him up and rushes towards Nataku.
She didn't wait for a signal, simply set off the last explosions and tried to get the Gundam to move.
'I should have read a manual!' She thought. "Come on Nataku show me how to do this for Wu Fei's sake!" She shouts.
Much to her relief she managed to get it to stand and then moving away from the base. She smiles as she quickly makes her way towards the escape route. She hoped the unconscious Wu Fei was comfortable seeing as the cockpit wasn't very big.
She was just about reached the route when a white mobile suit appeared in front of her. "Shit!" She yelled angry. The suit looked familiar but she was too worried about Wu Fei to remember from where. 'Now what… I don't know enough for a battle. I have to find away to get away without getting killed.' She had figured out what some of the system and the buttons could do. So she tried to get the Gundam to use its thrusters to fly back and use the hills and mountains near by as cover. But Yuzuriha pushed on the handles wrong and crashed into the White mobile suit that hadn't moved yet. "AAHH! Wrong! Wrong!" She yelled at herself. 'Now I remember that's the Tallgeese… Zechs mobile suit.'
Zechs pushes the Gundam back and it falls to its knees. He lifts up his Rifle Canon, pointing it directly at the Gundam in front of him. The Gundam's shield comes up. He smirks. 'That won't be enough… Perhaps it's a new pilot in there. I'll let them go this once, in hopes they improve.' He lowers his rifle and takes off.
Yuzuriha groans and swears that had she not been sitting, she'd have fainted. 'I need to get out of here…' She looks at Wu Fei, her heart pounding. 'He needs a doctor.'
She takes off down the path without any more surprises. As she nears the guy's safe house the communication link opens to her left and Quatre looks at her surprised. "Yuzuriha, why are you piloting Nataku?" She could hear the others shocked reactions. She simply shakes her head at Quatre.
Quatre looks worried now. "What's wrong?" She shakes her head again, the pounding of her heart and head growing. She breaks into the clearing hiding the house and barn. The link closes and she sees Trowa, Duo and Heero come out of the barn. She starts shaking within Nataku and lets Nataku fall to its knees. Yuzuriha opens the hatch and lets herself fall out of the cock put. They all run over to her.
"Are you ok!" Duo touches her shoulder only to have her slap it away hard.
"No! Don't touch me!" She yelled much to their surprise. She starts breathing too hard and fast. Then shaking. Quatre was pale when he saw her and didn't know what to do.
Heero and Trowa went to see if Wu Fei was in the cockpit of Nataku. Duo looked at Quatre worried. Quatre shakes his head, as he sees Trowa handing Wu Fei to Heero. He hurried over to them.
"Is he alive?" Trowa nods and they look Yuzuriha who was suddenly standing, although still having some kind of panic attack. "Wu… Fei." She whispered as she fainted.
A/N: ok so that concludes the second part to this story… how long shall it be? Good question, I haven't come up with an estimate yet. Give me some feedback and ideas if you can find it in your hearts to do so. I've got part three in the works, so I'll have it posted some time later on. Hopefully making Heero some what meaner and Wu Fei a little too jerkish, but know it's just meant to be part of their acts. Well that's how I'm viewing it. I don't think I made Quatre out too be too girlie, which people complain about, but then I understand and kinda have no idea why I did that to him in "Flowers From The Heart". Read some of my other new stuff if you get the chance! Thanks! Have a great year.
PSS if you believe that GW is mine, I love you!
