And So the War Begins

Serena pushed Wufei out of the way and passed through the door. Heero ran after her and grabbed her by the shoulders.
"Calm down. We will save him." He said.
Serena glared up at him. "I have to save him and you will not stand in my way." Her tone turned icy and cold. Heero shivered but he still grabbed her. Serena growled and punched him in the eye.
Heero moaned and let go of her. Serena raced to her house quickly. Heero watched her go then quickly ran back into the house and towards the back of the house and down a flight of stairs.
Wufei, Trowa, and Quatre followed right behind him.
~~~~~
Serena raced down the street and to her house. She stopped in horror in the driveway. Her house was up in flames and collapsing. "Sammy!"
She barreled into the house without a care for her own safety.
~~~~~
The guys run into the basement hanger that they have under the house. They climb into their respective Gundams and fire them up.
"Everything online." Stated Quatre.
"Let's go already!" yelled Wufei.
Heero remained silent determined to get there as fast as he can. He lifted off first and the others followed.
~~~~~
Serena fought her way into the house, it collapsing all around her. A burning piece of debris fell on her bare shoulder and she inhaled sharply, her training did not allow her to cry out in pain.
"Sammy!" she called out. "Where are you?" The smoke was getting to her, her eyes watering.
There was a movement over to her left. "Sammy?" She made her way over broken furniture. "Sammy?"
There was a groan and Duo popped out of the pile of wood and blinked. "What happened?" he asked.
Tears filled Serena's eyes. "Duo!" she hugged him tightly. Duo hugged her back then took a look around. "Woah! What a mess."
Serena looked up at him. "Where is Sammy?"
Duo looked around. "I'm not exactly sure. When we heard the crashes and the fire began Sammy ran to find your mother. She was here where we arrived. I don't know where they are in the house." Duo rubbed at the bump on his head.
Serena pushed him towards the door. "Go get help. I'll find mother and Sammy." "But Serena." "GO!" and she closed the door behind him.
Duo turned to look back in horror. What was he supposed to do now? He sighed and ran towards the mansion and his Gundam.
~~~~~
Serena ran around the house calling her brother's name. "Sammy!"
She ran up the stairs and looked around. She checked in his room first, then hers. She finally made her way to their mother's room. "Sammy!"
There was a soft whimpering coming from the corner. She quickly jumped over a pile of the roof that had collapsed. She knelt down and saw Sammy covered in the tiles from the roof.
She looked over and also saw her mother, not moving. "Mom?" She shook her but she still didn't move. She turned back to Sammy as he moved.
"Sere?" he asked weakly. "Sammy" She picked him up and cradled him close. "Let's get you out of here and then I'll come back and get mom ok?"
Sammy only nodded weakly. Serena stood and turned to leave the room.
Suddenly there was a huge creak and a piece of the roof fell in their path. Serena backed up away from the fire. She looked around for a place to escape but saw nothing. What am I going to do?
~~~~~
On the way back to the mansion Duo ran into the rest of the pilots and pointed to the house then ran quickly to get his Gundam.
The other four landed in front of the house. "Where is Serena?" asked Quatre.
"I'm going in there." Stated Heero.
"I'm here!" yelled Duo as he landed beside Wufei. "Shut up Maxwell." Replied Wufei.
~~~~~
"What am I going to do?" she kept looking for a way out. She glanced at the window. It would be hard with Sammy but she would do it.
She walked to the window but before she could get there, there was another creak but this time it was accompanied by a loud crash and the rest of the roof collapsed on the three of them. Serena felt the heavy load hit her right on the head as she fell to cover Sammy. And she blacked out.
~~~~~
The pilots stared as they saw the house collapse. Their eyes wide.
"SERENA!" they all yelled at the same time.
