A bright light shone in the hallway, followed by Alex appearing before the door in which both the younger teens were. Seconds later, the dark cloud of smoke appeared and Thomas popped out. Smiling the demon walked over to Alex. Alex wasn't in the mood for the demon's cheerful personality right now, but this was important. The morning had barely even started when the teens became ill. Alex was called immediately to come down and see what in the world was going on. Seeing that Alex was not in the mood, Thomas took the serious mood.
"What's going on Alex? I was finally asleep when I got word from him that I was suppose to met you."
"Things aren't going well for Quatre and Duo. I'm afraid that is has started."
"Right now! I thought we had at least another month before this was to happen."
"So I was told. I recieved word from Him that there's an outside force acting here."
Thomas tilted his head to the left. An outside force? What the heck does he mean? I know for sure it's none of the other demons, and it's deffinately not him. Going through a list of possibe persons, Thomas finally threw his hands in the air.
"I can't think of anyone that would do this."
"Me neither. But we have to find out who it is. I can't leave Quatre until we do."
"Why not?"
Alex turned to the closed door and held up his hand. The door became transparent and both angels looked in. Trowa was sitting by the bed in which the blonde laid. Holding onto the small, pale hand, the older teen had an worried expression plastured on his face. The outlook was not good for the Arabian, and both angels knew it. Even though Quatre had been strong during the war, he was not strong enough to fight off this invisable force that had over taken him. Alex lowered his hand, and the door went back to normal.
"I see. If Quatre has no hope in surviving...then what about Duo?"
"The same results will occur. Thomas we can't take this to lightly! We have to find the person that caused this and get rid of him."
"I know Alex, I know! But were will we start? You know how many colonies, countries, states, cities there are out there? It will take eternity to find where this ba.."
Thomas stopped mid-word when he saw Alex frowning at him. Lowering his head, Thomas knew that Alex had already thought about that. Both angels were silent for a few moments, each trying to come up with ideas that would lead them to this outsider. Finally, Alex spoke quietly.
"Thomas. If these two teens die, we will have no reason to continue these missions. I will no longer be able to come down here and spend time with you. I will be forced to work inside the castle from here on out. I imagine it will be the same fate for you. He informed me that we have a month left now that the boys showed signs. That's not a whole lot of time. We have to put our minds together and do something."
"You're right. You're always right Alex, that's why I like you. Should we start on the Z-184 colony? After all that's where we were yesterday. Maybe some one there is causing this. If not, then we will work back in time. Know what I mean?"
"Yes. What are we waiting for then? Let's go."
Both angels disappeard and met up again on the Z-184 colony. Looking around, they saw that the train wreck was still not completely cleaned up yet. Their replacements were still there, working just about as hard as the two were during the night. Looking around, Alex tried to find anything that could give them the idea who or what the outside force was.
"Alex...what do you think it is we're looking for exactly?"
"I don't konw. Wish He'd help us out a little."
Thomas turned around and saw a man standing by the train looking at them. He looked familiar to the demon, but Thomas couldn't quite figure out why. The man had brown hair and work a long, black overcoat. His eyes were covered by dark glasses. Thomas reached back to get Alex, but before Alex could turn and see the mysterious figure, he gave a small smile, turned and walked away. Alex turned and tilted his head.
"Thomas?"
"I saw a man."
"Well, yeah! They're still cleaning up the train wreck, remember?"
"No! He was wearing a black overcoat and sun glasses."
Alex looked around their surroundings to try and see the man his friend was talking about. Shaking his head, Alex began to wonder if Thomas was losing his mind. He remembered, when he was a young angel, being told of how some of the older angels would do missions like he was doing now. They would be fine for the first seven years, but soon after that some started to hallucinate sometimes. Could demons be the same way? Alex couldn't see why not. Even though Alex had been doing work on earth, colonies, and such long before his friend, he wondered if some started to hallucinate way before everyone else. Alex turned and saw firefighters pulling a figure out from the train.
"I can't believe there still are people being pulled out of this mess."
"Tell me about it. I don't see anything out of the ordinary other than that man."
"Are you sure he was real, Thomas? After all, I've been told of how angels hallucinate after so much time of this kind of work."
"You think I was hallucinating?"
"It could be possible."
"You're right. It could be possible. I'll let that drop, for now."
Alex stopped, lowering his head and closing his eyes. Thomas had no idea what was going on, but Alex raised his hand to let his friend know that he was alright. Thomas guessed he was getting word from the big guy up doors. After a couple of seconds, Alex looked up and frowned. Thomas questioned this action with wide eyes.
"They've called for Sally. Guess it's gotten a little worst."
"Sally, their doctor friend?"
"Yeah. Time really is running out for us."
"If they die, what will happen to us?"
"I'm not really sure, Thomas. I don't want to find out either! We are going to find this outside force."
"Right!"
"Wanna see how they are doing?"
"Sure."
Alex walked over to Thomas and placed his hand on the demons shoulder. Knowing that this could be a bad idea, Alex gave the go ahead sign, and together they both entered the room where the two younger teens were being kept. They arrived in time to see Sally give each of the boys shots that should help kill the fevor. Both Alex and Thomas prayed that it would work. Trowa and Heero had the same expression. Each looked older than they actually were. Their faces were pale and drawn. Wufei was standing in a corner away from every one else. Alex wondered if he felt out of place. He showed not quite the same expression as the other two, but close to it. Looking at Thomas, Alex wondered if their families were the same way when they had died. Not wanting to cause any comotion, Alex tapped Thomas on the shoulder, and together they left the room and arrived back on the Z-184 colony.
"Wow. It really isn't going to great there."
"Yeah. Where to next? We can't give up yet!"
"How about where that earthquake hit not to long ago?"
"Alright. I believe it was in America?"
"Yeah. Come on."
Both the angels took off in that designation. Each hoped that this wild goose chase would be over soon, and that both Quatre and Duo would make it through this whole ordeal. Neither one knew what they were going to do when they found the outside force, but that's a bridge they'd cross when they got there. Hopefully they'd find the force when they got to America. Alex gave a silent prayer. God, please let us find this outside force in time. Please?
