Chapter 7 - Happenstance
Lady Une nervously trudged along the main control room at Preventers' Headquarters while the former Gundam Pilots continued their assault with the computer mainframe. They were really close into uncovering the secret base of the OZ Faction. It was only a matter of time in which they did not have.
Duo typed furiously on the keyboard, trying to hack into as many confidential files as he could. He pondered up a hidden file in regards to the Mariemaia incident. They looked like documents relaying the reconstruction of the underground sight. But why? The braided pilot couldn't figure out why anyone would want to rebuild the location that spurred the very essence of the evil that played in the world so many years ago. Wufei sat to his right and he decided to have another person's input.
"Wufei, what do you think of this?" Duo questioned him as he turned his monitor to face Wufei and pointed to the documents. The Chinese man reluctantly stopped what he was doing to focus on Duo. He eyed the information attentively and remained silent while he was in deep thought.
"From what I see, I believe you have just uncovered their location." Wufei replied finally. "What better way of hiding from us than a location that we wouldn't even suspect. Let's check it out."
Within a few moments, the four soldiers were airlifted to the sight, with Lady Une's consent. They desperately wanted to get to the bottom of the entire ordeal. The longer the days progressed, the wearier they grew of Heero's whereabouts. All four predicted that Heero was in the custody of the OZ Faction. More importantly, they had to find Relena. From their knowledge, Relena too went missing and no traces of her were ever recovered. Once the Earth and colonies learned of the Foreign Minister's disappearance, insecurities of the Earth Sphere Alliance lingered in people's thoughts. Without the dove of peace, how could the peace be maintained?
The aircraft approached the coordinates as given by Une. Without hesitation, the men descended from the chopper and approached the desolated rubble from the previous battle. Rusting metal shards lay lifeless on the ground as the soil eroded the very symbol of brutality and force. Despite the gentle whistle of the wind that caressed their bodies, silence roamed the land they stood on. All was quiet as they observed the vicinity, glancing for any hints of a hidden entrance.
"I don't know what you're pulling Duo, but you better be right." Trowa commented irritably. He didn't want to waste their time looking for some imaginary entrance in a deserted location.
"Don't worry Trowa my man. I'm sure we'll find someth…" Duo stuttered as he tripped over a wire sticking through the ground. "Ouch that really hurt." Duo mumbled as he patted the dirt off his clothes when he regained his posture. The black rubbery strand tilted from its previous position and the ground in front of them gave way. A set of staircases appeared, which led to an unknown destination.
"Whoa!" Duo exclaimed as he witnessed what he just discovered with his clumsiness. "By the look of things Trowa, I am most certain that we will find both Heero and Relena here." Duo grinned as he took the lead down the stairs. As they marched further underground, they couldn't believe that the rebel forces were hiding right under their noses this whole time. They simply couldn't believe that Jerome Dermael rebuilt the structure.
They walked pass several cells, all empty but one. A faint light flickered from the room right at the end of the expanding corridor. Strangely enough, there weren't any sign of guards or security cameras in sight. Heero was found in the secured room, sitting on the floor, with his arms tied behind him. They couldn't believe their luck. Duo reached into his jacket and pulled out some explosives. He placed a timer on and they ran for cover. Within a few seconds, the door was broken down and the four pilots rushed in. The smoke dissipated and they found Heero, already untying himself from the restraints.
"What took you so long?" Heero complained with his monotonic voice.
"Nice to see you too Heero." Duo said as he helped his friend to his feet.
"Where's Relena? Is she here?" Quatre asked once the five Gundam pilots were reunited.
"Hn. We have to hurry. Relena's in trouble." Heero explained as he headed out the door.
