Chapter 25

Going back to Stargate Command the boys gathered together in Quatre's room. Duo looked at the camera in the corner and held up the piece sign before it was covered with a cloth.

"We don't have long," Trowa said and went to lean against the door, keeping one ear on the hall.

"We need to get back to our world," Duo said, "before that I have the feeling their going to take us back to Atlantis."

"Duo you ability to state the obvious is astounding," Wufei countered.

"We'll have no choice, but we can refuse to help them until they work on a way to get us home," Quatre said. "I mean it's not like we're critical for them right now."

"That's the problem, we may be expendable to them," Heero said.

"We'll have to prove that we aren't," Duo said and leaned against Heero's shoulder.

"You have a plan for that?" Wufei asked.

"Well we are Gundam Pilots," he said and grinned wide. "Just like the doctors told us, those that see a Gundam shall not live to tell about it."

"Threatening them will only get us locked up," Quatre said.

"So you sweet talk them into understanding how important it is for us to go home" he said to Quatre, "or we'll have to start figuring a way ourselves. They already know that we are deadly."

"We are only five," Quatre said.

"Huh? We're five Gundam Pilots Quatre, I am sure we have all snuck into an armed Oz base a time or two and destroyed them…" Duo replied.

The boys looked at each other. "First Quatre tries and to them, if we don't start seeing them trying to get us home, then we move and take over Atlantis," Heero said. They all nodded. "We'll try and stalk up on supplies while we wait and see if the first option works. Maps, data storage, I believe I can hack into everything that we need if it comes to that."

"Their here," Trowa said and then there was a knock on the door. Heero and Duo walked over to a corner, Quatre sat on the bed and Wufei sat in the chair as Trowa opened the door.

As soon as it was opened Quatre started to laugh lightly and Duo grinned as he hand his hands up seeming to hold a rifle. "And then the Oz soldier started to dance in his underwear while screaming at the top of his lungs 'I'm a chicken,'" Duo said and started to flap his arms and do a little dance. Quatre was laughing and Wufei shook his head.

"Maxwell!" Wufei called and shook his head. They turned over to look at John Sheppard and Jack O'Neill as well as several armed men.

"Can I help you?" Quatre asked as he wiped a tear from his eye.

"Just check up on you," Jack said. "Did you have fun at the game?"

"Oh it was a blast!" Duo jumped in and walked over to him. He started to go into a story. John turned to him.

"I thought he never lied?" John asked. Duo stopped and turned at him.

"I don't. Telling make believe stories for entertainment isn't lying," Duo said and then went back to his story of how Heero was snipping from one of the ledges. He walked out with O'Neill following, half paying attention to Duo. John looked at the other boys and then walked out of the room as well.

A couple of days passed without much excitement besides what Duo caused. Now he was sitting in the room that he used lying on the bed watching the light dim. Thinking about what was happening on his world and how much Oz had taken over. He rolled over and turned his back to the camera. Taking his braid and playing with the end of it as he let out a sigh. This was driving him nuts. Sure they were allowed just about anywhere inside the base. But they weren't allowed outside. Closing his eyes he frowned and gripped his braid tightly.

Heero was hanging upside down on his upturned bed as he took put back together his gun after cleaning it. He was calm and he was watching the door not his hands or what he was doing. Once it was together he started on pulling himself up, doing crunches. Glancing to the camera ever so often as he pulled himself up. When he was bored he got off the bed and sat down in the chair to try and get an hour or so of sleep.

Quatre and Trowa were in Quatre's room playing a game of chess. It was hard to tell who the victor of the game was going to be at this point. Trowa was back in the chair with his arms crossed over his chest and his eyes closed. Quatre was looking at the board as he was thinking about which piece to move.

Wufei was sitting on the floor lotus style meditating. He was clam and collected.

"Atlantis Team, prepare to board the Daedalus, one hour," when that announcement rang over the communication system the boys looked at the cameras and then started to get ready.

Walking out towards the vans that would take them to the boarding site, which also happened to be where their Gundams were stored. Duo and Quatre had a backpack over their shoulders while Heero, Trowa and Wufei carried duffle bags. When they boarded the spaceship they went right to the hangers to look at their gundams.

Sitting in their respective gundams they linked a line to each other and waited for the Deadalus to take flight. "How far do you thing Oz as gone?" Duo asked. Not his normal cheery self.

"There were several rebellions, that and Relena Peacecraft were fighting Oz when we left," Heero answered.

"Think their still fighting?" Duo asked.

"I know the Maganac Corps will not stop fighting until they are all dead," Quatre said. "So there should still be some resistances."

"That's good and bad news all at once Kat," Duo said.

"Oz will no doubt have most of what they are after already," Wufei said.

"Think the colonies want us back?" Duo asked.

There was a jerking to the spaceship. They all acted as once and Colonel Caldwell came on their screens. "You boys are quick," he said and looked to his right. "What is it?"

"Don't know sir, looks like a wormhole that's pulling us in," said a female voice and then Rodney walked in and looked at the screen. The boys remained quiet as they watched and listened.

"That's a gate without the gate," Rodney said and looked at his computer. "And we cant get out of its pool."

"Where does it lead?" Caldwell asked.

"If I knew that I wouldn't be freaking out," Rodney said. "It could lead anywhere, from Wraith to Goa'uld to their home or anywhere else," Rodney said and shook his head.

"Can we avoid it?" Caldwell asked.

Rodney shook his head. "No."
