(Continuation from Last Chapter)

Maya smiled as she entered the room. Her smile changed into a frown as she eyed his leg. That was no good to her. It meant if he walked it, he would be in pain. The only option left was to have one of her guards carry him like a child across the facility. She kneeled beside his small bed and smiled. Heero had his eyes closed and his arms crossed. He did not seem to be in the mood to talk. She grinned knowing one way she could get him to day something. She inched her hands towards his injured leg. Before she could cause him pain he already had his hand tightly gripped upon her threatening to break them. One of her guards pressed a gun to Heero's head. Heero dropped her hands, reluctantly. She growled a herself because of his defiance towards her.
"You know Heero you can be so difficult," Maya says sweetly. "Let's see if I can tame that wild spirit of yours."
Heero did not respond more than shifting his weight a bit. She saw that he was trying to go back to sleep. She snapped her fingers at the guards and rose from her kneeling position. One guard picked up Heero as the other kept his gun pointed to Heero's head. Heero watched the familiar walls and corridors pass him by as Maya lead them to the basement again. Heero cringed at going back. This meant he was going to have a horrible headache for the rest of today and some tomorrow. Once again he found himself being strapped to that metal table he had learned to hate. He cringed in pain as the guards roughly strapped his broken leg into place. He also became aware of the growing pain along his right forearm. Maya clapped the metal band with the three tubes on it around his upper left arm. The needle it contained pierced through his skin and she activated the machine as she did before.
Heero closed his eyes knowing the fire that soon spread throughout his body and consume his senses. Maya walked off to her desk and started writing things down and grabbed a syringe from a drawer. She unraveled his splint and injected the liquid right his bone had snapped. He moaned from pain and a bead of sweat rolled down his head. Out of what little compassion she possessed she splintered his leg back up after injecting the liquid. Luckily for Heero the painkillers were still effecting his mind and made most of his feeling dull down. Maya watched as he tried to escape his bonds, but came to no avail. Minutes later he finally opened his eyes slightly. Maya grinned noting that they were gazed over.
"So, Yui, tell me who owns that cold heart of yours," Maya asks pointing her finger to his chest.
"Relena-chan," Heero replies in a voice barely above a whisper.
"I still can not see why you would like that brat of a girl. If you ask me you deserve better," Maya responds.
"You say that because you can not even see past your own ego," Heero whispers.
"You are one to say something like that," Maya quips.
"No matter how many times you try or how you try... I will not give into you because they are waiting. And if I do not come then they worry," Heero says to himself as a silent smile plays upon his face. "And they will come..."
Maya saw Heero's head loll to the side as he found himself in his world of dreams. She walked to her desk and sat down drinking her cup of coffee and reading over reports. A few times she lifted her head as Heero made a noise. She leaned back in her chair and decided to rest for now.

Peacecraft Mansion 1:13 PM

Hilde looked out the window of the study as Sally and Noin filled out papers on the soon to imported mobile suits and reading over what little information they had about the Isogumi Faction. She looked at her cup of banana pudding and look another spoonful into her mouth. Her eyes grew wide with surprise as she saw and felt the arrival of Epyon and the blue carrier. The ground shook slightly as the large gundam landed on the driveway to the mansion. Everyone else including herself ran outside to greet the three back and to see why they had a gundam. Noin was the first to arrive on the scene as Zechs exited the Epyon.
"Zechs, what do you think you are doing? Why did you rebuild this thing?" Noin asks a little harshly.
"Whoa there. Noin don't start yelling at him for something he couldn't help," Duo says coming out from the carrier scratching his head.
"Explain yourselves," Sally says crossing her arms.
"That men that gave us the letter sent these as a present," Wufei says over Nataku's intercom as it steps out of the carrier. "he said something about not seeing a point in fighting a battle if the other can't defend itself very well."
"So when he mentioned upon metal wings he meant the gundams," Trowa says aloud.
"It would make sense since his gundam and Heero's have metal wings," Quatre replies.
"Good news is that they are both fully operational and their are no bugs or tamper devices inside," Duo says smiling a bit. "He said he would give us the others in time, which means we may have a chance after all."
"Did you see Heero with him?" Relena asks.
"No, sorry. We did not even see the real Khushrenada guy there. It was a hologram," Zechs answers. "But at least we know that Heero is alive after the incident this morning."
"So that narrows down to where their base must be," Trowa responds. "If Heero was kidnapped by that shuttle heading for the research colony then that is where their headquarters is."
"Not as simple as it sounds, though. The colony is not where the original coordinates said it would be," Sally adds. "So either the colony has moved or it isn't a colony at all."
"What are you getting at?" Hilde asks.
"What I am trying to say is the colony may actually be a space fortress like Libra or a mobile suit production factory like MO III," Sally explains. "Those could be the only two reasons that colony could have moved."
"But couldn't have colony been moved by some destructive force that hit?" Quatre asks.
"Not possible. The explosion would have to big enough to overcome the colony's mass and they only thing powerful enough to do that would destroy it in the process," Noin replies.
"So the sooner we narrow down where that colony went the sooner we can find Heero and take this faction out," Duo adds.
"Another beautiful battle is about to take place. And we are going to be the main players of it. How wonderful!" Dorothy comments.
"Well, Wufei and I are going to move our gundams into the underground hanger," Zechs says grabbing the rope that takes him up to the cockpit.
"Great move, Mr. Treize. How many more surprises besides you are alive do you have for us?" Dorothy says to herself.

Unknown Space Colony Zeion's Room 1:25 PM:

Zeion looked at the large stack of papers on his desk and sighed. Each and everyone of them had to be read and some of them needed to be signed or initialed. He picked up another one and begun reading it. Due to the fact he had read so many things in his life he was a fast reader. He signed the paper and placed it on the small pile of papers that were finished. The next paper asked for permission to assassinate Lady Une and Mariameia by that colony's own hands. Zeion tore the paper into shreds and placed it in the trash can. His task of reading the papers was interrupted when a soldier knocked on his door. Zeion got up from his chair and opened the door. The soldier told him that Ms. Isogumi would finish the rest of the papers since he had escort a new fleet of mobile suits to L1 colony to add to their army. Zeion grabbed his helmet and quickly dressed into his pilot suit before heading to the docking gates. Just as Zeion is about to enter Tenshi someone's voice stops him.
"Commander Zeion, if you run into any mobile suit fleets from the enemy destroy them," Ms. Isogumi says from the catwalk.
"Yes ma'am, I will ensure you that all will die by my gundam," Zeion says closing the cockpit door.
Zeion's gundam walks towards the gate. Following behind it are twelve Scorpios and ten Serpents. The gundam jumps from the dock and its busters turn on for a second. The black wings unfold to their full size and the busters turn off as the wings start to flap like a bird's to propel the suit forward. Ms. Isogumi smiled as she watched her beautiful soldiers take off for more battles. Zeion and the fleet following him reach the docking gates of L1 Colony in little time. He waits for a report on the suits when he spots movement behind the nearby crates. He walks over to them and he stares at the face of Lady Une. She has her gun pointed at his head.
"So we meet again, Lady Une. I am guessing that you are trying to find a way to escape from here," Zeion states. "I would expect that much from you. But it would be hard for you and Mariameia with all of the security around."
"You are that man from the other day," Une says shakily.
"That would aim you correct. I am truly sorry for running from you. But I am sure the protectors of peace shall arrive here soon," Zeion replies. "If you want to escape from here and go to Earth then I suggest you escape in the cargo storage of the shuttle. There is one heading for Earth around seven tonight. That would be your best chance."
"Why are you helping me when you are the enemy?" Une asks.
"Because I see no point in innocent people getting involved in this war of ours," Zeion answers walking off.
Lady Une was felt in awe as she went over what he said. She smiled and went back out the way she came. She would need to get Mariameia so they could escape on that shuttle. Silently, she thanked the man that had told her about the shuttle.

Unknown Colony Cell 3:08 PM:

Heero woke up to his throbbing headache. He was once again lying on the bed in his cell. His leg was propped up on the pillow as well. He leaned back against the wall exhausted from his ordeal. His breathing came in gasps as he tried to regulate his fevered body. His face had turned extremely pale and he appeared almost ghostly white. His upper arm was bruised from the needle that had been inserted into it. He also noticed that his forearms were causing him severe pain. Some of his ribs were badly bruised from his retaliation with the guards. One, he knew, was cracked and this contributed to his forced breathing. He smiled as he begun picking the locks of his manacles with a bobby pin that had dropped from Maya's hair. In one minute they fell off freeing his throbbing hands. He sighed as he tested how well they moved. Slowly, but surely he was becoming more immune to the truth serum that Maya gave him through his bone. His head still ached like fire and he did not feel like moving.
"I wonder what's happening on Earth," Heero said to himself.

Further down the hall Zeion had just returned from Colony L1. As usual he went straight to his room to avoid any contact with Maya or Ms. Isogumi. He sighed and sat down in front of his laptop's screen. He typed in a few things and an icon at the bottom of his screen started flashing. He smiled knowing that one of the gundam pilots was online. He began to create a direct link with them. It was time to send them off on another wing of metal.

Peacecraft Mansion 3:13 PM:

Duo's eyes widened as his computer screen seemed to be going off the roof. He made a horrible beeping sound that would never stop. He covered his ears hoping it would stop before he had to consider putting the computer out of its misery. Trowa heard the noise and went over to the keyboard and made it stop. Duo looked up at Trowa with a cheesy grin on his face.
"You know I was about to do that," Duo said grinning.
"Look, someone is trying to contact you. It is being received from the L1 Colony Cluster," Trowa said taking over. "We will take the message."
Trowa pressed the accept button and the laptop converted over to its videophone mode as I shall call it. Zechs, Quatre, and Wufei saw that they were talking to someone so they went over to hear the conversation as well. They gather around the computer screen as Zeion appears on the screen his helmet still on his head. He rests his chin on his folded hands and smiles.
"So we meet again protectors of peace. I am so glad that you have accepted this transmission," Zeion said calmly.
"Yeah, so what do you want this time?" Duo asked waving his hand.
"I take it you liked my gift. Well, it is time for you to receive the second part of my gift," Zeion explained.
"Don't tell me it is another one of your confusing riddles," Duo said disgusted slightly.
"You are gundam pilots so you are smart enough to figure them out. To obtained the last of the metal wings one must travel where no one knows their limits. Placed inside a dome of artificial light and air. Told apart by the reflecting history of where peace was disrupted. You will find them there inside where machinery is born and humans only control. That is how you will find your second gift. Your third will arrive when I see fit," Zeion said smiling. "Until that times comes follow your path great warriors and lead us to the road to peace."
"I hope someone understood that because I didn't and the guy disconnected the link," Duo said holding the temples of his head.
"Where no one knows their limits mean outer space it is the only place where there are no limits," Wufei explained.
"A dome of artificial light and air means a colony," Trowa added.
"Told by the reflecting history of where peace was disrupted refers to L3X18999 where Dekim started his war," Quatre added calmly.
"Where machinery and humans only control means an engnieering warehouse of some kind," Zechs also added.
"So we will find the gundams in Colony L3X18999 in an engneering warehouse. You couldn't this guy just tell us that?" Duo said aloud. "Well someone had better break it to the girls that we have to leave for outer space. Why are you all staring at me?"
"You suggested it, Duo. So why don't you tell them?" Quatre asked.
"Fine," Duo said getting up.
"I remember to be at your funeral," Wufei joked.
"Very funny, Wuffers. But Shingami never dies since he is death himself," Duo quipped.
"I give him two minutes at most before he comes running out with bruises on his face," Zechs commented.
They waited for two minutes and just as Zechs predicted Duo came out with a large bruise on his cheek where he had been slapped. Everyone laughed at him including Trowa. Duo gave them a glare as he attempt to copy Heero's death glare. He came no where near it and ended up looking like a dying mule or something. Everyone stopped laughing as Quatre fell in the floor rolling and laughing. Everyone raised their eyebrow at him. Duo poked him cautiously with his shoe.
"Hey Quatre, you alive down there?" Duo asked.
"Give me a moment..." Quatre said in between laughs.
"I will go get the shuttle ready for launch," Wufei said, walking out of there before anything else happened.
"Zechs..." Relena called, stepping into the room.
"Huh?' Zechs responded.
"Are you going to attempt to save Heero?" she asked.
"After we retrieve our gifts, then, yes we will go rescue Heero," Zechs said, smiling.
"Then I am going with you," Relena said, following Wufei out the door.
"Aren't you going to try and stop her?" Duo asked.
"No, she won't get in the way," Zechs said, leaving to load Epyon on a shuttle.
"Well, we better get our things," Trowa suggested.
"Good idea. I will get Zechs's luggage and Duo can get Wufei's," Quatre added.
"Why do I have to get Wuffers's stuff?" Duo questioned.
"Because your room is the closest to his," Trowa said, walking up the stairs.
"Oh man," Duo said in defeat. "Well if I die I blame the three of you. Plus, I will have my ghost to come back and haunt your asses until the end of time!"
"Sure, Shingami," Quatre joked.
"All right now I am not talking to you, Winner!" Duo yelled. "Why doesn't anybody listen to me?"
Outside Zechs and Wufei had loaded their gundams aboard the shuttle. They were surprised when Sally, Noin, Hilde, and Dorothy decided to come along. They all went inside the shuttle and waited for the other three. Trowa, Duo, and Quatre came out carrying their things and quickly boarded the shuttle. They fired the engines and left the Peacecraft Mansion in Rashid's capable hands.

Unknown Colony 6:12 PM:

Only moments before had Heero been returned to his cell. This time he had not been through the normal tests Maya usually made him endure. He had been challenged to fight some elite bodyguards to further their training. Heero could have easily taken them down, but in his already weakened condition it made life that much harder for him. By this point most of his ribs were broken and breathing for him was extremely painful. His forearms were unwrapped to revealed that both were infected and the skin was too yellow for his liking. His fever had sky rocketed and did not attempt to move except for his labored breathing. He had forced himself to keep going knowing that he would be rescued. He did not touch his dinner as seeing he did not have the energy.
The guards had been yelling at him to stop with moaning. He could not help it because his pains escaped his mouth, despite his attempts to stop them. Maya was very angry at him. He had showed no signs of forgetting his friends or anyone. He closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep when he heard a woman yelling outside. He recognized the voice as belonging to Maya. She had shoved the guards out of the way and opened the door to his cell. She smirked as she pointed the barrel of her gun at Heero
"If I can not have you, then, no one will," she said her eyes set ablaze in rage and fire.
Heero forced himself standing and started to get the gun from her. She dodged his sluggish movements easily. He could hear her laughing loudly at his pitful attempts to escape his fate. His blood had reached the boiling point with her. His eyes turned from being cold into a killer's. He landed a punch upon her face. She held the gun tight and aimed at him.
"Sayonara Yui," Maya said as she fired.

Now you all probably hate me for cutting it off. Well you will just have to wait for the next chapter to see if Heero lives through this or not. I will have the next chapter poster ASAP.
