It's Only Forever

Chapter 5

Behind Velvet Eyes

By LunaSeraph/Infidel

Wufei stood as still as he could, sustaining the utter and physical urge to kill this man he loathed so. But for some reason he did not want to yet. He still had a mission to complete; he had to find Duo and Heero.

The noble man stood, not grazed by the daggers being hurled at him from Wufei's glare. The room remained the same temperature wise. As did this man who did not seem to be affected by the bitter winter like cold that plagued the huge room.

"My dear dragon." Treize purred. He took a few casual strides towards his pilot, who backed up angrily against a wall. Wufei recoiled at once, the sting of the freezing wall burning his shoulders and back. He fell to the ground, amazed at how much cold could hurt! Looking up, Wufei could see the OZ general remained unstinted by his captive's pain or the all pervading cold.

"Damn you Treize!" Wufei struggled to rise, his back still stinging relentlessly.

"You have not accomplished much." Treize stated simply. Wufei bit back curse words as Treize smiled. "If I give you an estimate of how little you accomplished, would you forfiet?"

Wufei shook his head. He would not give up. He wouldnt give this man the pleasure of his admitted defeat.

"Your words mean nothing to me! You mean nothing. All I care of is my mission. Now let me out of here!" He screamed, instinctively reaching at his side for his katana. He gasped and slapped his forehead. He had left it in the Gundam. //THAT's what I forgot! Shimatta!\\

"Now now dragon. These words DO indeed mean something. Im positive. Surely you fear for your comrades' safety do you not?"

"Piss off!" Wufei hollered falling to his knees beneath the onslaught of cold. It was too much, Wufei feared. He could not withstand being in the evil room any longer. And treize could see that.

``````

Duo sighed and walked to his bed, not facing Heero. It was very awkward then, neither of them recognizing Heero's action. The braided pilot laid his head on his knees.

"Why do you turn away? I thought emotions, things like that is what you wanted." Heero asked his eyes showing a distinguished amount of confusion. "I thought I had done what was necessary."

Duo laughed bitterly and shook his head, attempting to bite back the pain in his throat. He wanted to cry. He did not know why, exactly. But he wanted to cry. Perhaps it was his realization that everything he had been attempting to push away was closing in on him. //I like Heero. but I dont know if I like him so much that I have to risk the safety of the both of us. What if he feels like he needs to save me?\\ Duo brought his hand to his mouth. //What if I hold him back in the future? I cannot do that to him.\\

"Heero. You didnt do anything wrong." Duo said wiping away the tears forming in his eyes, before Heero could see them. His friend merely peered into him, wondering why so much was stirring in the room then. He could feel it. It was fear mostly. Duo pulled his legs even closer to his chest, trying to find some way to explain to Heero that what was done was just inoppurtune. "I just, feel. .well I feel..that what..no thats not it.."

Heero listened intently, hoping to gain something from Duo's feelings.

"I feel...no I FELT...that it was well. Raunchy!"

"Raunchy?" Heero raised an eyebrow.

"Yea, yea raunchy." Duo nodded vigorously and sat back satisfied with his vocabulary. It left Heero thinking.

They sat in a comfortable silence for a good while.

"What does raunchy mean?" Heero asked after the period of quiet.

Duo: ^_^;;;

``````````````````````

"come now pilot. I am positive you have endured far worse conditions than these." trieze chuckled motioning to the room around him. Wufei clenched his teeth.

"I. Have." Wufei gritted and rose once again. As soon as he did so an invisible force knocked him down. Sprawled on the icy floor Wufei moaned. What had hit him? He reached for his pistol that had been thrown at one side when he fell. It had bounced too far. What he was going to shoot...he didn't know. Treize still had yet to let him out of the room. And he still had a mission to accomplish. Regretably he remained on the merciless floor that bit him with the cold.

Treize turned to the far end of the room. Suddenly the wall lit up. The room looked much more pleasant with the light. It revealed a tiny toddler size door at the far corner. Wufei moaned, angry that the exit was ten meters away. It stood, its width broad and tempting. Wufei started foward towards Treize, but halted roughly when he realized the general had vanished!

```````

Duo frowned as the floor shook below him. Tremors wracked the room, taking it violently. Heero stood and peered out of the little window that their captors would use to look in on them. He could see soldiers racing down the halls, armed and prepared for something. Heero scowled and knelt down by the prison door, in hopes that if a guard did enter he could take him out and attempt another escape with Duo.

Duo coughed roughly and knelt down beside his friend.

"What do you think is happening?"

"I dont know." Heero frowned and prepped himself. All of a sudden a panel in the far end of the room burst open, letting a blinding light blast its way into the the small cell.

Duo sheilded his eyes and felt himself lose conciousness.

`````````

Wufei took this as an opportunity and darted for the door. As he did, he could feel an invisible force on his heels. He outran it and pulled on the tiny knob. Much to his chagrin, the door was stubborn, he kicked at it in fury as the invisible force behind him shoved him against the wall. Over and over he kicked and pulled. The small door remained locked! Wufei took notice that he did not have his pistol with him! So he reached in his pack and pulled out a tiny mine.

Hastily, he activated it and struggled to a corner, covering his head. Again the unknown force in the strange room shoved him violently against the wall. The mine exploded and the door swung open. Wufei shot through the tiny door in a flash. The force behind him slammed the door shut and he was left to a dark tunnel.

The exhausted pilot crawled through the passageway in the dark. He could barely see his own hand much less what he was about to embark upon next. Wufei paused to catch his breath. He searched hopelessly for a flashlight in his pack. Much of what he had brought with him had spilled in the cold room he left behind. //such bad luck!\\ Wufei cursed and laid his head on his backpack. He was tired. It would have been nice to fall asleep in the warm and dim tunnel. However he sadly remembered he was being timed.

//I hope Duo is allright.\\

``````````

After what seemed like an eternity, Wufei came to an opening in the tunnel, leading into a customary weapons room. He sighed, stood and began to look around. The room seemed to have been inactive for a long time. Most of the lights were off, and much of the equipment was outdated. But, Wufei couldnt afford to be picky. He took some grenades and a flashlight. Luckily he came upon several pistols and a rifle. It looked much like the one that hologram Quatre had pointed at him. Grimacing, he took it and threw it on the floor.

//I cant believe I trusted a computer projection! Im such a fool!\\ Wufei sat down and brought his knees to his chest. He buried his head in his arms, hoping that this frightening situation would dissappear. //It was a projection as well!\\ Wufei lifted his head and frowned. //Treize. He was a hologram. Thats why he dissappeared so quickly. How foolish I was, running towards him like that!\\

````````````

Treize sighed in disappointment. He had hoped Wufei would have attacked him much more fiercely. However, his pilot was hesitating for some reason. The general wondered why the child was holding back. It was strange, that this stubborn and ruthless pilot did not try harder to achieve what he had set out to do in the war (kill him of course).

But even so, he could sense some weakness in the pilot that he could exploit. Treize smirked and continued to evacuate the prison cells.

``````````

Wufei stepped out of the artillery room and out into a bright hall. He sighed in relief as he took notice of elevators, doors, openings to more corridors and an exit at the far end of the hall. Sensing human presence around him, Wufei cautiously moved through. He ran towards the exit, and opened the door.

What he saw shocked him. The base was completely surrounded by swamp and forestry. There had been nothing but empty lots around the perimeter when he had began his mission inside the Gundam. He frowned and backed up slowly, afraid that if he kept on gazing, he would get caught in another trap.

So he spun around and strode towards an elevator, still stupified at the eerie change of scenery beyond the base walls. //Perhaps its some more trickery. Treize is crafty with gutless hoaxes like those. nice try treize.\\ Wufei nodded, satisfied with his deduction, and continued into the elevator.

Pressing "down", Wufei anticipated what he would stumble upon next would be nothing short of another corridor, and more elevators. It was a headache thinking about how much ground he had to cover. Suddenly he realized the lights in elevator car began to change colors with every floor he passed. Confused yet again, Wufei looked up at them. Out of nowhere, the lights burst, sending sparks all over the floor, and the car halted roughly. Wufei fell to the ground and brought out a flashlight.

//In the darkness again.\\ Wufei thought fearfully. suddenly chlostrophobic, Wufei backed up into a wall, gasping for air. He widened his eyes and stood stiffly in the corner of the car. The walls began to groan and Wufei panicked. He brought out a gun and fired at the escaped hatch above him. The little door came crashing down, and he leaped out of the elevator skillfully.

The shaft was just as dark, and just as frightening. He peered upwards, taking notice that the nearest floor was eight meters above him. The chinese boy held onto the elevator cords as the elevator began to groan. //Such bad luck!\\ Wufei cursed and began to climb up the cords. The steel cords bit at his hands as he slinked upwards.

Wufei spied light coming from the doors on the nearest floor. Suddenly it felt as if the whole building was shaking. he whimpered and held tightly to the thick bunch of steel supporting him. The elevator car he had been in went crashing into the ground. He winced, thankful that he had thought quickly and got out of there.

The pilot continued on up towards the doors. Steel and iron began to grate at the skin on his palms. He was almost there!

``````````

Duo awoke in an enormous room. It looked a bit like a conference room. His hands were tied behind his back and he was seated on a steel chair. Hazily, he glanced around. There was nobody, and it was somewhat dark. In fact the only light there was, was the tile his chair was on. It was glowing. He tilted his head at this, a bit unnerved at the situation. Weren't he and Heero JUST in the cell? He felt like it was a couple of seconds ago that his friend had knelt down by the door.

Struggling with the bindings on his hands, Duo wriggled around. Suddenly a voice boomed throughout the room.

"02!"

"What the fuck do you want?" Duo gritted and resumed wrestling with the rope.

"There is no use. Those ropes will never come off by you alone. Its impossible."

Duo rolled his eyes and continued struggling. He didnt see why he should just sit there and do nothing.

"Heero!" Duo called out impulsively. It seemed without the robotic bishounen, Duo felt even more helpless. He wheezed and attempted to knock the chair over. but it was bolted to the ground. Angry and feeling like shit, Duo squirmed himself senseless. Nothing would help his dilemma. //Dammit! Doesnt anyone know we're here?!\\

````````````

Wufei leapt off of the thick, steel compilation and onto a ledge in the shaft. He grasped onto bolts and other potruding parts of the shaft and inched his way towards the doors. Daring not to look down, Wufei swallowed hard. The building began to shake once more.

"Aah!" Wufei cried and grappled a ladder nearby. Out of breath, Wufei closed his eyes. It seemed as if there was no way out of this mess. He would fall before he reached the doors. //Just three meters. Three meters!\\ His hands were in bad shape, already bleeding from climbing up the cords. He didnt think he could climb up the ladder quick enough without falling if another tremor hit. //Oh god!\\ Wufei peered downwards, and hung on tighter to the narrow ladder.

Taking a chance, Wufei began to climb up as fast as he could. Crying out at the pain emitting from his marred palms. The building began to quaver once more, almost throwing Wufei completely off of the small ladder. He felt the lower half of his body slip off and dangle. But surprisingly he managed to keep his hands on the ladder. Lifting his legs back onto the steps of the ladder, Wufei proceeded upwards. //I will not let this stupid place be the death of me! Ive seen more dangers in space! Come on Chang. This will not be the place you die!\\ the pilot screamed at himself. Half in panic, half in determination Wufei hopped off of the ladder.

The boy landed roughly on the ledge with the doors. He took out a crow bar and began prying on the doors. In a hurried panick, Wufei pried at the stubborn them. Fearful that another tremor would take the shaft again, he coaxed his bloody hands to take more punishment. After incessant pushing and pulling, Wufei managed to force the doors to part. The skillful soldier pushed them apart with his arms and collapsed onto the floor as soon as another quake took the building.

Wufei laid on the ground, his heart pounding. He laughed and laid on his back, oh so relieved he had not died in that horrible place. Smiling contentedly, Wufei reached into his pack and pulled out a bottle of water. He poured the cool subbstance on his hands, flinching as the mangled skin throbbed. Sighing, Wufei stood and walked towards a light switch.

Once it flickered on, something shoved him back and nearly out of the doors he had just forced open. Gasping in surprise Wufei scramble up and away from certain death. He whirled around to see who attacked him. He was fast. On edge and pissed off to be challenged so soon after his elevator shaft victory, Wufei prepared himself for his attacker.

Unfortunately, his skills were not helping him with this assailant. He turned around to get decked in the face, and kicked to the ground. But he would not take that lightly. He retaliated with a round house kick and a double punch. The attacker was stopped and he rolled on the ground, hitting the wall. Wufei smirked, complacent with his furious kicks.

Wufei frowned amidst his satisfaction, to see that his attacker was rising steadily. The agressor turned around slowly, meeting Wufei eye to eye.

"Yuy!"
