slammed her welding mask down on the floor, the repairs on Deathscyth angel was too extensive to fix in the little time they had.
"Dam it all to bloody hell!" Meg screamed and suddenly eyed Wing 0. H entered the room hearing Meg screaming and was afraid she would break valuable equipment if she took another temper attack. But instead he saw her standing in front of the main control panel hooking the final weapons onto the Neo Wing 0 and releasing it from it's locks.
"What are you doing!" H yelled.
"Well since Angel isn't working i'm gonna use wing," she said.
"What I will not allow it!" H yelled and tried to stop the girl but she knocked him away.
"If piloting wing 0 will save Cassi then so be it," Meg told him, "Even if I die trying, Cassi will be save and I don't care if I have to kill the entire oz army!" H watched as she got into the cockpit and flew out of the hanger in a blast of speed. H then went over to the control panel and opened up his communication link with the Preventer HQ where Lady Une was sitting at her desk.

It had been a harsh day for Lady Une first one of the pilots gets kidnapped then Meg decided to go for a speed trip after the kidnappers and nearly got herself and Trowa's son killed and ah the entire thing was totally screwed up.
"Lady Une?" A voice asked threw her comm link and she opened the link.
"Dr H what can I do for you?" She asked.
"We have a problem" He said.
this time Kaito was about half way to the Ontario z base where Cassi was being held. He kept above the clouds to keep from being seen and kept an eye on his monitors where the little blip from Cassi's necklace was showing up. He sighed as he headed even higher to avoid and hide from an oncoming plane and muttered to himself, up Meg. I can't kept the Oz soldiers at bay and save Cassi at the same time. This takes two. He narrowed his eyes slightly as the blip became more clear and closer. He was now just above the compound where she was held captive. He slowly flew the gundam lower and checked to see what was going on down there. There were guards on foot with guns and such but they had no mobile suits on guard which would be good for him should he decide to go on an all out attack. It would take them at least two minutes to get their own mobile suit pilots out and ready to fight and by that time he'd have already done quite a bit of damage. He flew the gundam back up, however, give Meg five minutes to get here then i'm going on the offensive." Suddenly all the rest of the ms that were in the sky were destroyed suddenly and Kaito turned and his eyes widened as the saw Neo Wing 0 standing there aiming it's gun at the troops.
"Meg?" He asked.
"Yeah it's medon't worry I have it under control this time," Meg said, "I'm coming down."

Slowly Wing 0 came down and Meg hopped down from the cockpit and locked it down.
"Let's find Cassi and get the heck out of here," Meg said and Kaito nodded.

Meanwhile in the Ontario base, Cassi was stuck in the martial arts training room. One of the soldiers had uncuffed the gauntlet restraints and the OZ leader had ordered him and several other soldiers, to fight her. It had barely been over half an hour and she'd taken out several of the soldiers, without much trouble. There was barely even a line of sweat on her forehead as she finished flipping her most recent opponent, and punching him hard in the stomach. The way she was going, she'd take out all the troops in the base within another hour or two.
"Very impressive," Kazier chuckled over the speaker system in the room. "You've proven yourself tougher than you look."
"Then if you think so, why don't you come and take me on?" Cassi challenged. "Or aren't you man enough?"
"Oh i'm man enough," Kazier laughed. "But why should I fight when I have others who are willing to fight for me?"
"Coward!" Cassi cried. "I guess you're too much of a pretty boy to fight with the real men then."

It was then the base shook in response to a sudden booming noise, a large weapon being fired most likely. Kaito and Meg Cassi thought with a smile. The base shook again; it had to be Meg more than Kaito though. Cassi didn't know how she could tell, she just could. Looking towards the window that Kazier was standing at, she saw the tall OZ soldier conversing with a younger soldier. He looked sort of angry, then surprised.
"Looks like your fellow pilots have turned up to rescue you," Kazier smirked as he turned back to the window. "They brought Wing 0 with them to."
"Wing 0," Cassi muttered to herself. Kazier nodded with a delighted smile on his face.
"That means Meg and your friend 03 are here."

Cassi glared at him as the door opened and two armed soldiers approached her, one of them carrying gauntlet restraints in his hands. Cassi fumed silently, this was NOT going to happen again, not if she had anything to say about it. As they got closer she side kicked the one in the chest as hard as she could and knocked his feet from under him so he fell hard to the floor, then she quickly took his gun from him. It was a small riffle, but still pretty powerful considering what model it was.
"Back off," she warned his comrade as she aimed the gun at him. "I'm a good shot. And throw those things away." The solider tossed the restraints aside and backed off as she had ordered him to.
"Good, now if you dare follow me I will use this weapon," she warned. "Count on it." That said she left the room and locked it behind her. She knew she only had moments before Kazier could leave the room to her side, so she slid through the other door quickly and ran down the corridor. Thanks guys she thought to herself. I owe you one.

Meg walked down the hallways and shot another soldier, Kaito was right behind her and she held up her communicator to her mouth.
"Cassi?" She asked, "Cassi can you hear me?"
"Yeah I can hear you where are you guys?" Cass asked.
"Down on the second floor," Meg said and heard gunshots, "Ah I see you started a party of your ownwhat floor are you on?'
"Meg come on," Kaito said.
"I'm on the fourth floor," Cassi responded.
"We're coming," Meg said.
"Oh and how are we supposed to get to the forth floor?" Kaito asked, "I doubt we can make it up the stairs or even the elevator."
"We'll make our own way," Meg said and took a small device from her braid and threw it up onto the ceiling. "Get down!!"

Suddenly the ceiling exploded making a hole and Meg took a piece of rope from her belt with a small hook on it and attached it to her gun and shot up. The rope flew up and hit something on the next floor up and held steady.
"Come on," She said and started to climb up the rope while shooting at people.
"Where the f@@*^ do you learn this stuff!!!" Kaito yelled, "First you drive like a fricken mad man and now your acting like batman!!"
"What can I say I watch a lot of action movies," She said and climbed up to the next floor and gave her hand up to help Kaito up. "And Anime doesn't help my danger streak ether."
"Uh Meg," Kaito whispered.
"What?" Meg asked.
"'Look," Kaito responded and pointed to the room.
"Holy cheese on rai," She gasped. They were in a large dark room with large pieces of machinery and large tubes filled with green stuff and what looked like people flouting in them. All were flouting there as if lifeless.
"Holy god what's going on here?" Meg asked and looked at the large tubes, "It looks like something out of a Sci-fi movie or Cyber six."experiments?" Kaito muttered and began to walk around the room, "If we hadn't contacted Cassi already I'd be fearful that she might be in one of these things. You really have to wonder if these people were willing subjects or not." He sighed and headed towards the door on the other end of the room. Thankfully the two of them and the bodies in the tubes were the only ones in the room, on the third floor now but we still have to get up one more level. Do you happen to have another one of those things in that ponytail of yours?"
"Yeah I think so" Meg said and started to dig threw her braid and hauled out a pack of bullets, "Huh here hold this"
"Uh belt no, hair gel no, comb, hey I was looking for this"

TEN MINUTES LATER

Kaito is put to his shoulders in stuff when finally Meg hauled a tiny explosive from her braid.
"Here it was," Meg said.
"How do you keep all this stuff in your hair?" Kaito asked and Meg put everything back inside her braid as he examined the handgun she had just stuffed in her thick hair.
"Hmm good question I think I inherited it from my dad," Meg responded, "He hid car parts in his braid before."
"Forget I even asked," Kaito told her.
"Now let's get to the next level" Meg said and threw the explosive up into the air and it blew apart the ceiling make a hole and suddenly one of the pieces of the ceiling hit a large tube and it fell to the ground and it smashed open. Meg threw a rope up and it hooked and Meg gave it a tug.
"Ok you first," Meg said and Kaito started up the rope.

Meg looked around and suddenly eyed the hideous creature that had fallen from the broken tube. The thing looked human in body but its skin was black with scales, its head was filled with long tentacles that looked like medusa. Its legs were going to the side like a kangaroo and its arms were covered in spikes and its hands were covered in long claws. Suddenly it's big red eyes opened and Meg stepped back.
"Kaito," she called.
"What?" he asked.
"I think we have a problem," she responded as the creature stood up and gave an inhuman growl as it opened it mouth reviling six sets of long sharp fanged teeth and a long purple snake like tongue. Kaito cursed and jumped down landing perfectly next to Meg and quickly pulled out his gun, that thing's ugly," he muttered before cocking his gun and pointing it at the creature, "Maybe we'll be lucky and it'll be friendly." Meg gave him a look that said 'I doubt it'. Suddenly the creature pounced at Meg and she screamed as she shot at the creature.
"Holy cheese on Rai!" She screamed as it kept on coming, she shot it again and again until she ran out of bullets.
"Meg hold on!" Kaito yelled.
"Easy for you to say your grabbing a rope," Meg yelled, as the creature suddenly pounced her on. "Eww yuck take a breath mint!" Meg grabbed the creatures jaw with her two hands and tried her best to haul it away from her face, and coughed as the bad breath entered onto her face and suddenly slime started to drool onto the clothing.
"Eww monster drool" She said and suddenly the monsters gained control and sank it's teeth into Megs shoulder and she screamed. Kaito released the rope and stared at the creature as it bit harder into Meg's shoulder, he aimed his weapon and shot it right in the face. With a howl the creature released his female friend and reared backwards. Seconds later the radio's crackled to life, and Cassi's voice echoed over them.what the heck is taking you so long?" she cried.on Earth," Kaito responded promptly. Cassi didn't know how to respond to that one.are you?" she asked finally as she carried on running.floor, experiment room." Once again Cassi paused, as shivers raced up and down her spine. Experiments again? Why was OZ doing this?Meg ok?"think she'll be fine," Kaito responded as he helped Meg up. "But she'll need a tetanus jab or something and a doctor."one is injecting me with anything," Cassi heard Meg yell and she chuckled mischievously. "I'm fine Cassi, we'll join you in a sec."need," Cassi responded clearly. Looking up they saw her kneeling over the hole above them, looking down at the horrific creature sharing the room with her two comrades. She could see the bite on Meg's shoulder and visibly winced.think it had better be a jab against rabies," Cassi told them as she trained her rifle on the creature. "Go back down, i'll join you and cover you." Kaito nodded and grabbing Meg's arm swung her onto his back, despite her objections and began to lower himself down onto the second floor. Cassi slid down the other rope nimbly and shot once at the creature, scaring it back a few feet just as Kaito hit the floor below. She quickly followed, not wanting to stay in the same room as that creature for too long.go," she told the other teens as she left the room in question.
groaned her shoulder hurt like mad as Kaito carried her.
"Kaito I don't feel so good," Meg said and Cassi looked at her.
"Aw man she's bleeding really bad," Cassi said as she saw blood running down from the wound. Kaito stopped as they came to an empty hallway and put Meg down.
"We've got to find something to stop the bleeding," Kaito said.
"Use yer shirt handsome," Meg chuckled and suddenly she coughed.
"You heard her use your shirt," Cassi said. Kaito removed his shirt and tied it around Meg's shoulder.
"I see Meg has met one of our experiments," A voice said and they turned to see Kazier standing there.
"Aw shit it's handsome what do you want?" Meg asked.
"The creature is one of our early creation," Kaizer said, "Nasty little temper that one has and Meg will soon be joining them."
"What!" Meg asked, "There is no way in hell i'm becoming a guinpig"
"Oh but you have any choice you see when an experiment bites you, your DNA starts to change," Kaizer said, 'It'll slowly kill you unless you get the proper treatment"freak," Cassi growled. "I was wandering earlier whether you were a man or not, and now I know. Not only are you a cowardly pretty boy, you're also a monster."words from such a pretty little girl," Kazier chuckled.you won't be insulted by her, maybe I should say something," Kaito growled as he got up.can try, but you're just a kid to," Kaizer chuckled. Hearing Meg groan in pain, Cassi turned back to her and knelt at her side. Luckily Kaito's shirt was still plugging the bleeding or she'd be bleeding to death right now. She didn't look that well at all, her skin was paling more and more by the second and her eyes seemed glassy. Cassi turned to look at Kaito, and it was all Kaito needed to see to know that Meg was seriously sick.you creep," he hissed at the OZ leader. "Tell us what we need to do to help her, or you'll live to regret it."
chuckled and raised a small box with medical markings on it, it had been hanging off the back of his belt.you always carry antidotes?" Cassi asked with a raised eyebrow.issue when you're in this place," Kaizer responded and tossed the bag into Cassi's hands. The girl looked down at the small bag in surprise then back at Kaizer. The OZ soldier now had his hand tucked into his trouser pocket, and he was grinning at them. Kaito didn't trust him though, why had he given them the antidote? What was he playing at? Cassi he noticed hadn't wasted time in finding out the correct medication for Meg, out of the bag marked 'early experiment antidote'.are you letting us have the antidote?" he asked as Cassi drew some out with a syringe.me strange, but I simply can't let any of you die THAT easily. Not to something this small," Kazier responded as Cassi swabbed the area. "Consider it a favour, a mercy aid or whatever you wish."favour," Cassi muttered as she injected the antidote into Meg's upper arm. Kaizer turned on his heal and walked away, his cape bouncing behind him.what do you expect in return?" Kaito called after him.expect a worthy battle," Kazier responded as he disappeared into the darkness. "Don't disappoint me, as you're the only ones I consider worthy enemies." Kaito stood there looking at the space where the OZ leader had once been, and he could still hear his footsteps going down the corridor.about your things?" Cassi called after him. it, just in case," Kazier called back.
slowly lifted Meg up off the ground and they quickly ran down the hallway.
"You alright?" Cassi asked.
"Hai I have a major headache I think the antidote is starting to kick in," she responded and moaned in pain.
"Almost out," Kaito said he kicked open the door to reveal here gundams waiting outside for them.
"Oh nono way are you piloting that," Cassi told Meg as she saw the wing 0.
"I'm fine I can pilot," Meg said and slowly turned off the security and opened the cockpit with her automatic opener.
"Something's weird why are there no guards?" Kaito asked.
"Who cares let's get out of here I need a hot shower that creature thing smells," Meg said and slowly got into her cockpit.
"We shouldn't let her pilot in her condition" Cassi said.
"You'll be flying with me," Kaito told Cassi, "It's her decision, her life and besides I don't wanna waste any time arguing." Cassi didn't look convinced but she nodded anyhow and the two entered the cockpit of Shadowarcher while Meg made her way into the cockpit of Wing 0 wincing every now and then. Kaito still couldn't believe that they'd gotten out of there so easily as the two gundams took to the air and headed for home. He prayed silently, however, that it didn't have anything to do with Meg and that creature.two pilots blasted off and suddenly there was mysterious MS standing in their escape path. It was a large white MS holding a sword and shield like a knight would in battle. Its gleaming red eyes stared at the two Gundams.
"What's that?" Cassi asked as she turned to Kaito as he looked at the same screen.
"I dunno," Kaito responded. Suddenly the MS attacked them with warning and Meg dodged an attack.
"Damn!" She cried as she tried to block his saber but it sliced threw Wing 0's side. "Oh...no,"
"Nonono"

She felt her world going too quickly for her eyes to catch and suddenly she realized she had caught her mysterious MS arm as it tried to bright it's beam saber down.
"Meg!" Kaito called. "Wing 0's taking control of your movements again!"the fact that I just blocked the attack, I kind of gathered that!" Meg shouted back.it hold control!" Kaito told her. "Right now you're not totally in condition to pilot." Meg nodded weakly and attempted to fight with the aid of the 0 system, which seemed to have activated automatically. Cassi groaned as she watched the fight, she so wished her own gundam was here right now, but it was still being repaired after what had happened a couple of day's ago. She held tightly onto the back and side of Kaito's pilot seat, as Kaito sped forwards to help Meg out. He threw his gundam into the mysterious MS suit and sent it flying backwards several feet, before raising one of the arrow-armed arms at it.you are," he called over the airwaves. "Get the heck out of our way, or i'll obliterate you."you really want me to do that?" came an all too familiar voice. "I could, or I could easily destroy you."Cassi growled. "We should've known you'd have a motive behind the whole helping us thing. In fact it was pretty obvious to start with."
"I don't want a match from uh oh no," Kazier said, "I came for the red head."
"Meg?" Cassi asked, "What do you want with Meg?'
"She'll make an excellent addition to my army" Kazier said, "Or a figure head at my side" Suddenly Wing 0 attacked Kazier's mobile suit and suddenly shots came out nowhere.

Cassi and Kaito looked over and saw five MS plus a large ship moving in quickly towards them.
"Hey you guys started to party without us," Quatre called.
"Is that?" Trowa asked.
"The wing 0," Heero said, "Who's the pilot?"am," Meg responded through gritted teeth. "I don't need help either, i'll take him down myself."don't be so stubborn!" Cassi cried. "Even with Wing 0 you can't fight on your own!"me," Meg smirked. Cassi groaned, she knew that tone of voice. Meg used it often when she thought she could do something by herself. She glanced over as the large ship came down and landed several yards away, and watched the hatch open. A small suit carrier drove down it, carrying her mobile suit. One of the technician's, who'd been working on her suit in her absence, leant out of the window as he looked for her.thought you may need this!" he called. Cassi grinned as Kaito opened his gundam's cockpit door, so she could clamber out.
hold of the hoisting stirrup, she lowered herself down to the concrete and ran over to where her suit was lying. She skipped up onto the loader and up onto her suits chest, before releasing the mechanism on the outside of the cockpit. The door unfolded and she stepped inside, making herself comfy on the pilots seat before she fastened her safety harness.Night Strike," she announced. "Let's help out." She noticed that the repairs had been done roughly so that the suit was good enough to battle with, but they'd still need neatening up a bit. She pushed it to its feet and moved the controls a bit; they were a bit stiff but some action would fix that.
turned back to where Wing 0 was still locked in combat with Kazier's suit, and her gundam's eyes flashed green. are you sure you're all right?" she asked.Meg growled back. "I can handle this." That said she threw Kazier's suit backwards by several feet, nearly causing it to crash into Wufei's simple mobile suit, but he moved it away just in time.it!" he cried.Meg responded simply. we don't know why you want Meg to work with you when she won't," Kaito yelled to him. "But we won't let you try."think you can help," Kazier snorted. "I thought this might happen." He flicked a switch in his gundam, and several more mobile suits slowly floated up over the horizon. Kaito muttered something under his breath he knew this had been too easy.worry Kaito," Cassi told him. "We can handle this lot."
"Take this Kazier!!" Meg screamed and took her buster rifle off of her back, "Everyone stand back!!"
"Meg don't fire that!!" Duo screamed and she pulled the trigger and fired a huge beam at Kazier.
"We got em," Cassi cried.
"Think again," Kaiser said as he came behind Meg and began to fight her towards the other MS.
"Meg turn around!" Cassi screamed as the other Mobile Suits started to attack Wing 0. Suddenly Meg found her hands starting shake, she couldn't keep her hands on the controls long enough to get a good grip.
"Meg?" Duo asked, "Meg do you read me?"
"Something's wrong," Lady Une stated, "Why isn't Wing 0 moving?"loosing it again," Kaito muttered under his breath as he sent one of his crippling arrows at an MS that was heading his way, "Come on Meg. Snap out of it!"

No answer came from the other pilot and both Kaito and Cassi were getting worried.
"Meg? MEG?!" Duo shouted, "Pull yourself together! You're a Maxwell and a Maxwell would never let a computer take control of them!"
"He's right Meg," Cassi said as she took out several MS as they began to surround her and Kaito's gundams.
"You sure you still want her Kaiser? She can't even control the gundam. She's useless to you and right now I'm starting to wonder why she's even on our team," Kaito said smirking slightly to himself. He knew this would rile the other pilot and hopefully pull her out of this state she was in.could hear Kaito's rude comment but she couldn't move her body, it was like her muscles had lost all function.
"He he he the side effects of the antidote should be kicking in right about now," Kazier said, "And if you really want her to stay alive I suggest you retreat now"
"Damn it Meg answer me, god!!" Duo screamed but got no answer from her daughter and tried to go over but Wufei held him back.
"No you'll just make the situation worst then it already is," Wufei called.
"Why do you want her Kazier take one of us i'm a way better fighter and a better pilot," Cassi cried in anger.
"No oh it's not about status no I have plans for your feisty red head friend" Kazier laughed, "And when I'm done with her she wont even know who you are anymore!!"

Suddenly Heero rushed foreword and tried to get Wing 0 from the hold of Kazier's gundam but on the MS pushed him back.
"It's useless, without your gundams you old men are just old men," Kazier chuckled. Cassi and Kaito tried again to get through to Meg, but despite even their best efforts and insults they couldn't get through to their red haired friend. Cassi couldn't believe this was happening, she couldn't believe she was coming close to losing her closest friend and someone she considered a sister to her. Cassi's worst fear was coming to life right before her eyes, first she'd lost her father and now she was going to lose one of her two best friends. There was no way she was going to let that happen. As fire blazed in her usually sedate blue eyes, the youngest pilot moved her gundam forward at its top speed and rammed Kaizer's gundam as hard as she possibly could.the heck!" Kazier cried as his suit fell heavily to the ground.
to get it back on its feet, he found Cassi had put her suit between his and Meg's. Cassi's main weapon, her thermal energy glaive was sitting snuggly in her gundams two hands and was glowing a furious green colour. She was ready to use it to, the moment he even thought about attacking. are a tough little one aren't you?" he asked snidely. "But if you think that puny little suit and weapon of yours can stop me from getting what I want, then you're sadly mistaken."I can stop you even for a short time then that's enough for me," Cassi countered. "You're not going to get through to Meg that easily Kazier, and if you want to try...then you're going to have to kill me to do it."don't be stupid!" Kaito cried. "You're suit's only fixed up for a minor battle, you take a big enough attack and you WILL be killed." Cassi snorted as she readied her main weapon; her will to protect Meg was much stronger than her will to protect herself right now, so she couldn't care less if she died or not.if that's what you want," Kazier smirked. "Then i'll be only too happy to oblige you." Cassi dug her gundam's feet into the ground and swung her glaive behind her, just as Kaizer's suit attacked hers. The glaive moved forward in what felt like slow motion and jammed itself hard into the attacking suit's shield, before wrenching it off the suits arm. Sparks sparked everywhere inside Cassi's suit, and she had to lift her arm to shield her face from them. Kaizer wasn't done yet though, and he forced attack after attack on the suit, as she led him away from Meg.strong," he smirked. "A lot stronger than I originally thought."underestimated me," Cassi confirmed then she turned her attention to Kaito.get Meg out of here, i'll keep him busy!"Kaito argued. "You can't handle him alone."worry about me," Cassi told him in a sedate voice. "I understand what i'm doing, please just look after Meg for me." Kaito had no idea what Cassi was doing, or what she was planning. The attacks were becoming too much for her, that he could see and he wanted desperately to help her, but he knew she wouldn't accept his help so he went to help Meg, only to be stopped by a scream of pain, as Kazier managed to disarm her of her main weapon and send her crashing to the ground several yards away.
suit was sparking and burning all over the place, and the radio simply crackled, although her voice could still be heard.he heard Meg whisper, the first words she said in a while.Cassi responded as she dragged her suit to its feet. "I'm so sorry, forgive me." Kaizer knew Cassi's suit wasn't totally functional for the intensity of this battle, and raising a rifle of his own shot a single shot at the suit. Once again everything seemed to be going in slow motion, as Cassi's suit sparked more, and fires broke out over the paintwork and around her gundam's flight engine. An explosion followed as it caught the fuel intake and Cassi's suit was blown backwards several more yards, and lay on the ground burning away. Meg raised her head everything was coming back into focus...her head still pounded in pain. Her world was blurry but suddenly she heard voices on her comm link screaming out Cassi's name.
"Meg i'm so sorry, forgive me." She recognized the voice as Cassi and her vision came into focus as she saw Cassi's gundam fall in an huge explosion. Meg wanted to scream, she wanted to move but she was too weak to do anything but stare at the horrible sight.

FLASHBACK

Slowly Meg removed a long necklace off her neck; it was a small pendent hanging from a peice of leather. The pendent was round with small wings carved in the sides and a cross in the middle.

Cassi took it and read the back:

Óúlsá fóén hëten cysen
Oulsä foen utërspäceóth
rotéctpó hytén romfí lläen eamonsdí
Réámsdó hällsó ómécä óten hytén
Óldhï émen lósécé ótën rótéctpó
Ntilúth Ëathdí ácëta émen wäyáth romfë hyten

"It means Soul of the sky, Soul of outer space, protect thy from all daemons, Dreams shall come to thy, hold me close to protect, until my death take the away from thy," Meg told her, "It's some form of Pig Elvish or something my mom gave it to me she was big on that language."
"She told me that it would protect me...plus my dad implanted a tracking device inside," she chuckled, "So if your in trouble just press the cross it'll send us a signal k?"

END OF BACKFLASH

"Please let it protect you," Meg thought knowing her mother was a strong believer in Wicca and the symbol on the pendent would keep her safe. But even the strongest symbol couldn't protect anyone from a gundam explosion. Meg slowly let her tears run down her face and slowly gathered her strength to press her comm link.
"Cass...oh god Cassi please talk to me," Meg pleaded.

The others could hear her talking also and her eyes slowly transfixed upon the scene of Cassi's burning Gundam.
"CASSI!" Meg screamed as she gathered her will and slowly the world around her became clearer and she suddenly without even realizing it attacked the Kaizer.

She was letting the 0 system take control, her anger, her rage everything bottled up inside of her since child hood suddenly came out in a huge attack that sent the Kaizer's mobile suit flying back into the rumble of the camp.
"Meg calm down" Heero said, 'I know your angry but calm down!!"
"SHUT UP!" She screamed and attacked Kazier with her beam saber.meanwhile, had leapt from his own gundam and run to Cassi's. He covered his face with his arm as he drew closer to the burning gundam. It was hot but he wouldn't let that stop him in the least. He was going to get Cassi out of there no matter what. He growled slightly as he jumped onto the gundam's chest and pressed the button to open the cockpit, better be ok Cassi," he muttered as he knelt down to look into the cockpit, which was still sparking. He took a deep breath and looked the pilot over.

She was either unconscious or dead but at the moment that didn't matter. What mattered was getting her out of there and fast. With that decided he leaned in an unbuckled her then picked her up bridal style and sighed slightly before quickly jumping off the gundam and away from the fire.
chuckled as Meg rushed at him and he dodged quickly and suddenly grabbed wing 0's arm and with his free hand tore the cockpit door off the wing 0 gundam. Meg screamed a burst of air came in threw the torn chest of the gundam. Suddenly Kaizers cockpit opened also and slowly he stepped out. Meg tried to undo her seat belt for some reason her limbs weren't responding, the unbelievable attack of the wing 0 system that had given her strength had faded when the cockpit door had been torn open.
"Damn," she moaned and Kazier walked towards her.
"Huh you put up a good fight and your friend is as good as dead," Kaizer told her, "Come with me and my forces will let them live." Meg slowly hesitated as Kaizer took a knife and swiped her seatbelt off her body making her fall foreword onto the small floor. Her friends if Kaizer attacked them they wouldn't stand a chance, Kaito might but Cassi...

Duo noticed something odd as Kaizer attacked Wing 0, suddenly he noticed the cockpit door go flying, his worst fears came into play as he imaged his only daughter laying in a pool of her own blood when they found her dead in her cockpit.
"Meg!" Duo screamed and suddenly Kaizers ms took off and the other forces dispatched from the battle as well.
"What?" Kaito asked.
"Meg!" Lady Une asked, "Are you alright can you hear us?" Heero slowly made his suit fly over to wing 0 and found the cockpit door on the ground and the cockpit empty.not here!" Heero shouted.
"Kaiser! He must have taken her in his ms!" Kaito shouted back as he headed back towards the other adults with Cassi. He placed her on the ground gently and took a deep breath as he checked her pulse.skin was pale her sweat locked hair lay limply against her head and face, which was coated in light burns and scratches. Her top was scorched and torn in places because of the sparks, and there was a cut on her head that was seeping blood.
"God Cassi, come on," Kaito pleaded as he kept trying to find her pulse. Miss. Noin wasn't there luckily, so she couldn't see the shape her only child was in. Kaito was cursing under his breath as he put her wrist down, and felt for a pulse in her neck just as the adults came to stand beside him. After what seemed like an eternity, relief showed in his eyes, as a faint pulse began to beat under his fingertips.
"Thank goodness," Kaito whispered as Quatre knelt down at Cassi's other side. "She's alive, albeit barely."
"Come on, the Sanc Kingdom base is closer," Quatre told him as he placed a gauze bandage over Cassi's head and tied it securely. "She can be treated there."

Kaito nodded and once again lifted her up in his arms, carefully walking towards the plane. He glanced back at the three gundam's, his was fine, but Wing 0 would need major repairs to it's chest and Cassi's simply wasn't going to be working for a long time. He noticed though that some of the adults had gone to extinguish the flames around Night Strike, but he had his two friends to worry about right now, not the mobile suits.

Sitting on a seat he buckled his safety belt and held Cassi in his arms and lap, tightly so that she wouldn't fall if the plane jolted. Meg he thought quietly as the plane slowly took off. Why did you do it? I guess you have your reasons but please take care of yourself. He gazed down at Cassi quietly, forcing his emotions back behind his eyes. You put your life on the line for her little one he thought to the unconscious girl. Let's just hope it wasn't for nothing.
