It's Only Forever

Chapter 8

Better Left Unsaid

By LunaSeraph/Infidel

//He's finally here. Truly in front of me again,\\ Treize completely disregarded the other pilot in the room, and began to gaze into the shocked eyes of his dragon. //Finally.\\ The dignified man sighed to himself and remained standing in his position.

The mission-ridden pilot was anxious to leave. However he kept hearing the devastating words of his enemy.

****

"..if you dont find them in time...well you'll see."

****

Wufei stared into the situation with not too hopeful eyes, and turned his attention to his fellow pilot, who seemed to be pained.

"Are you hurt Maxwell?" Wufei asked, a bit too meekly for his own good. For some reason, he found himself unable to deal with the situation with this ill-fated pilot too well. Esing himself was difficult, for he sense something looming over him. Something was about to occur.

"He's just fine dragon. A bit drowsy is all. He was treated, but the drug only worked temporarily. Had he been left to himself any longer, he would have died."

"You're lying." Wufei said quietly, once again bringing his hand to his waist for the absent sword. The seemingly complacent colonel smiled and turned to the wall. The room lit up and the foyer was ridiculously large. Within a milisecond it seemed, a sentry gun appeared from the far end of the foyer aiming its nose and the red target light, right at Wufei's belly.

Reeling in surprise Wufei dodged the bullets, frustrated with all of these autoguns in the facility. Duo remained in the center of the room, wriggling in fright as dozens of bullets skimmed past him. It was a surprise that none hit him! Still, Wufei had to move fast before any bullets DID hit him.

Leaping out of range, Wufei scurried behind an iron cabinet, large enough for someone to fit inside. He had no weapons to destroy it, and his options were limited. How could he save Duo, without killing himself in the process?

"Wufei!" Duo called, still squirming hopelessly beneath the ropes. Spying Treize at a safe distance from the heavy fire, Wufei grimaced. Not only was he late, Treize was making sure he see that he did not meet the standards in completing his own mission.

"What's the matter dragon?" Treize called to him in amusement. "You're much too hesitant. Do you not know who you are yet?"

"KISAMA!"

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

Heero clutched the sides of his head in anger. The drug was clearing his system, however it was not leaving so placidly. Pains ruptured about his body, and the all pervading numbness in his jaw from the pistol whip remained.

He sat secluded in the corridor he had Wufei leave him in. Hopefully he could join him again, and find Duo. His heart began to float at the thought of seeing him well. Wufei had to have found him by now.

"He needs you right now you know."

Heero flared in surprise and turned his head to meet the deep gaze of a hologram. He himself was trained to differentiate holograms and real people. There were few projections that could decieve him. This certain image was that of a little girl. Its projection was wavering a bit, as if the main computer was malfunctioning.

"Who?" Heero asked in wonder.

"You know who Im talking about." The girl snapped and walked towards the large doors Wufei had ran out of before. "Both of them need you. Just like you needed them."

She pointed simply at the door and the image vanished.

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

//He really wants to kill me!\\ Wufei gasped as a bullet grazed his pants. //Oh shit!\\ Weak and in dire need of energy, the Chinese boy looked desperately around the room for something to help him out!!! Nothing was in his reach.

Desperate times, deperate measures, he thought and opened the cabinet door. He jumped inside and yelped as he heard bullets pummeling themselves into the iron. Inside, he found nothing but coats and books. So, he rammed the heel of his foot at the hinges of one of the cabinet doors and watched it come apart from the body of the cabinet. Using the two inch thick iron as a shield he raced towards treize's direction, breathing in sharply as a bullet pierced his leg.

Still, he raced foward still aware of Duo's grisly screams of fear in the backround. Suddenly the sentry gun sunk back into the wall. And Wufei found himself before a perturbed looking Treize. Wufei dropped the door, and took a glimpse at the smoky bullet holes in it. Apparently the colonel did not look too happy with his use of resources.

"Still much too hesitant dragon. You could have done better than that."

"Shut up!" Wufei screeched and charged foward in an instant. Anger was all that controlled him at the moment and reeled in rage when Treize simply stood aside. Perhaps, he was much too weak to fight; for Treize simply dodged his blows. And very gracefully he moved too.

"You underestimate yourself dragon! Are you not a fighter?"

"Yes I am!" Wufei halted and stared his adversary hard in the face. It was agitating to him that all he fought for was being considered half assed.

"What DO you fight for dragon? Friendship? " Treize smirked.

Wufei ground his teeth mercilessly and swung his arm foward, managing to touch the general's cape for a meer second.

"You're, not a hologram this time I see." Wufei smirked. The general merely shook his head and grinned. "And no. I do not fight for friendship. I fight for fighting!"

Wufei dashed foward once more, dismayed to find the general had pulled out a gun.

"Settle down dragon. You still do not see do you?" the man cocked his head and smiled furtively. "You have ignored everything that has helped you out in this place. Just as you have discarded many other important things. You are not a fighter. Have you discarded your hate of fighting so quickly? Or did you just ignore it? You ignore your friends. You ignore everything. You do not see. And you fight in a void with no meaning!"

"Kushrenada. You're babbling!" Wufei charged foward in vain once more as the larger man shoved him lightly.

"My dear dragon. You have also ignore what you need to see most of all. Me." Treize grinned inquisitively, looking at his dragon in a most...peculiar manner.

"Shut up!" Wufei snarled and suddenly took the taller man by the collar. A shot suddenly rang out and Wufei clutched himself. He had been shot.

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

The urge to rescue or help some one had evaded him so much in the past. How was it that he felt the feeling come so easily? Contemplating the way he was handling these feelings, Heero collected as much ammunition as he could.

He passed halls and rooms of all sorts. Tracing Wufei's steps, he found his way by glancing at rooms that seemed to have been touched. He himself knew that these rooms were not real. They were part of the maze Treize conducted.

A whirl of bullets made a racket in the room he walked into. He spied Treize holding his gun a bit nervously. And Wufei was clutching his hip, which was seeping blood. But, once he saw his cellmate, he quickly forgot about those two and ran to his side.

"Heero!" Duo gasped in surprise. The perfect soldier rid his friend of the constraints in an instant.

The braided boy tried to stand, but swayed and tripped. Heero helped him up.

"Are you well?" Heero asked.

"Im fine. Just a little dizzy."

Treize swallowed hard, a bit unnerved by what had occured. But he regained his composure and glanced at the bullet wound in Wufei's hip. The boy did not seem to be in too much pain.

Wufei glowered down at the blood making its way down his leg. Uncomfortable from the searing pain, the chinese boy stumbled backwards and landed roughly on his bottom. He noticed Heero had released Duo and the two were at the far enf of the room, eyes wide in expectancy.

Heero jumped up and lifted his shotgun from his waist, he slid it over to Wufei who took it gratefully. The boy then jogged over to his rescuer's side, lifting his own rifle at the OZ general.

"Is it-"

"No its not serious. Just the first inch of my skin." Wufei gritted and hissed at the pain in his side.

Treize snorted and kept gazing at his dragon.

"You will not kill me 01." Treize said smoothly. Gods, how was it that this man could keep his head beneath all of this chaos? Considering he created the chaos himself, it was no wonder that the man concealed his own misgivings so well.

The OZ official turned around and began to walk up a stairwell. Heero started foward, but was met with Wufei's objecting arm.

"Heero. Stay here with Duo." Wufei uttered, while he glared in the direction his adversary had left. .

Heero hesitated but turned around and returned to his place by Duo's side. The two settled in a corner beside the door.

"Dont get shot." Heero droned.

Wufei took it as a "good luck" and allowed a smile to pull at his arrid lips. Finally, he had them both rescued. However he had been late when he came upon the foyer. Whatever treize had planned for him, it seemed it did not involve these two. //Oh well.\\ Wufei thought. //At least they have been successfully retrieved. \\

Wufei was about to leave, when he realized something.

"Heero!" Wufei called.

Heero looked up and saw a small transparent container flying towards him.

"Give the purple one to Duo. Tell him not to chew it. If I dont come back in twenty minutes, just leave." Wufei said lowly, but loud enough for Heero to hear. The japanese nodded, and watched his comrade dissappear into the darkness of the stairwell.

````````

Of course, Wufei did not expect to return. Twenty minutes was the amount of time it would take for Duo's capsule to come into affect. Hopefully, they could make it out alive. It was a bit relieving that they're safety was no longer riding on his conscience.

This place had taught him much, he supposed. Yes, he did care for the health of his fellow pilots. They seemed to be the only ones in the world he understood. Their fighting spirits were honorable, and he hoped he survived, just to thank them. And this endless maze was in fact like the wall of ingorance he had built around himself. It was strange, as a child he was taught that ignorance was the worst thing someone subjected to suffering could accept. And yet he did just that with these people.

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

"Heero?" Duo sighed and fell slack against his former cell mate's chest. He as exhausted with the whole capture. It was not out of the norm to be captured. However being put on display with hundreds of bullets being dispatched into the room he was in the center of was not the kind of thing he took too offhandedly.

Heero listened to his friend's heart racing in his chest. The boy was frightened, and now they were set to wait.

"Heero, what about Wu-"

"Shh. Swallow this." Heero said very softly and pushed the pill in between Duo's lips. The boy swallowed it and relaxed, mostly in confidence that the capsule would work. Gently, he wrapped his arms around Heero's waist and closed his eyes.

"Hope he gets back soon."

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

Wufei climbed the stairs and came upon an office. It seemed to belong to Trieze. A long window stretched across the room, over looking the destruction he himself had caused several hours earlier. The lights were off, but there was some light emitting from the security monitors in front of the desk against the wall.

Treize stood in the darkness, smiling in a seemingly doting fashion. He glanced down at his own gun and then to Wufei's, and dropped it on the ground.

It fell with a pleasurable clatter.

"Come closer dragon."
