The invisible man 8

Until the next lightning bolt shot right into the tree in front of him. Shocked, he bolted up and ran away from the now falling tree as quickly as possible. The tree fell right onto his father's grave and smacked the gravestone. The tree itself burned and made a small fire that was quickly disappearing due to the rain. Heero thought of it for a while and believed that he found out what god/ his father, whoever, wanted to show him. So he started his way,the way of which he thought that it was the right one.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Back in Heeros room

Duo was sitting on the bed, not able to find any sleep. He was dead tired, but sleep wouldn't come to him. Where was Heero? He looked at his clock again. It had been 2 hours since Heero left so quickly. Taking a walk doesn't take you 2 hours, does it? He looked at the clock again. 1 more minute. Just where was the guy?`

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

In the meantime in the underground base

"0-5?"

"Yes?"

"Look at this." Wufei moved over to one of his new comrades who pointed at the map on the wall.

"This is where we can enter, and these two halls here are our main targets. They can't be left alive. If G unleashes them, we're all finished. "

"And how shall we find them?" Wufei asked, a slight growl in his voice.

"We have this new technology, just out of the lab. I can assure you that it works."

Wufei nodded before his comrade continued explaining, pointing at the map and facing him every other second to be sure he understood.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Somewhere in the streets, Heero was walking. The boy was partly confused, partly still fighting with himself. Should he really do it? He couldn't, no. Heero stopped walking. Right, he couldn't do it. But then he went on again. He had to do it. But how to find? That question was answered by some approaching sounds, like something gliding over the floor, and as he turned around, something heavy was smacked against the back of his head, and he fell into darkness again.

The person over him covered in a black coat just smiled wickedly, wagging its green tail. "Hehe… I caught you. I did it all alone. G will praiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssee me, and me alone.I will be hisssssssssssss only favourite projecccct." Still grinning, the project picked up Heero and loaded him over his right shoulder before going on in a very strange way.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Damnit, this drives me nuts!!" Duo cursed while smacking his fist into the pillow. "Trowa's gone, Wufei's gone, and I have no idea where Heero is!" Snorting aloud, he sat down on the bed again and sighed deeply. Just where could the boy be?

He wasn't captured by G, that's for sure. But then Duo stopped in his thoughts. And why shouldn't he? G wasn't to be underestimated. What if he had found Heero while the boy was walking back home? Yes.. what if G found him and took him into the base? Duo shuddered at that thought. What G could do to him!! With Heero as a great scientist at his side G could do so much damage to everyone! And what if Heero… Duo's eyes widened in shock. Suddenly, as if someone bit him, the boy jumped up and ran out of the house and into the rain, ignoring his hurting leg. He was too angry to care.

"Heero, you idiot! " The braided boy screamed into the rain. "If you did what I think that you did, then you'll better have a very good excuse or I will kill you with my own freaking hands!!!" Angry, he continued running into the direction of the building he hated most.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Hey, don't write yourself off yet. It's only in your head you feel left out, or looked down on, just do your best, do everything you can, and don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away." Quatres voice could be heard in the corridors. The boy himself sat in his cell, beaten up and bleeding.

"It just takes sometime, little girl, in the middle up the ride, everything's gonna be just fine, everything's gonna be all right." Then he stopped singing and smiled sadly. "But , nothing's gonna be alright now, right?" He changed into Trowa who had the same sad smile on his face. "No, everything's done, everything's wrong. Wufei is dead already, I'm sure about that." The blonde boy appeared again and continued thinking aloud. "And considering the shouts and the talking and gossiping, then Heero's in G's hands now." A tear rolled down the boy's cheek.

"And Duo.. Duo's lost. He's … helpless. And all alone against a whole troop of killers. " The blonde boy suppressed a sob. "God, if you really exist, then please save our friend from the fangs of the devil. Almighty, I beg of you, safe him and the poor soul of Heero Yuy, the only boy besides our comrade who tried to help us. Please, god…"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Duo was standing in front of the building, seeing no sense in hiding or sneaking in. He was too angry to be careful. So he just walked to a big, metal door and - knocked. A mumble from the inside was heard. "Who are you at this time?" The boy just grinned. "Pizza service!" To his surprise, the door was really opened and surprised faces looked out into the rain.

"Tnepres, are you back already?" The guard asked, but immediately started choking and gasping for breath as Duo held his arm deeply into the man's chest. "No, Terpes isn't back yet. But I'm here, replacing him!" The man fell down with a shocked face and Duo just had enough time to duck from bullets being shot at him.

"It's 0-2!!! 0-2 is heeeeeeeee-!!!!!" The guard was caught off by Duo's hands on his throat. "Yes, they'll notice that soon enough." He quickly dropped the guy and ran to the other two in the entrance hall, quickly knocking them out with his power. Then he went back to the screamer and kneeled down.

"Listen, and listen closely. I'll only suggest this one time. Either you'll follow your friends into judgement land", he made his point with gripping the guy's neck tightly," or you'll cooperate with me. " The guard quickly nodded and Duo smirked, leaving the man his air to breathe. "Very, very good boy. Now listen, I want you to tell me if G has Heero and if he does, then where he is." The guard nodded again and Duo's smirk widened. "Very well."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

At the same time, in a dark room. A few candles on the wall lit up the sides of the room, but it wasn't enough to see anything at all. Heero was lying in a corner, knocked out. A small stone flew through the air and hit Heero on the head, waking up the boy.

"Uhh, where am I?" Heero asked himself while rubbing his head. "Ouch." He suddenly froze as he heard a deep, evil laugh. "Ahahahahaa, oh sssssssilly boy. Where elsssse should you be than here with me, in G'ssssss very ssssssecret and very ssssssstrong labbbbboratory. " Before he had time to understand these words, he felt himself being pulled up by the collar and stared into two yellow eyes. And a cobra's face.

"Uah!!!" The boy tried to back away, but the creature held him in a firm grip. "Nah, nah, what a bad boy, trying to run away. I want to talk to you." Heero suddenly felt something cold winding up his legs, and before he knew it, the strange thing in front of him had its tail around Heero's body. Just the shoulders and the head were free now.

"Who are you?" Heero asked, overriding the fear in his voice. But the creature just laughed coldly. "I am the besssst thing that could happen to you, my little Hee-boy." The creature grinned and licked Heero's face with a thin tongue. "If it wasssssssn't mastersssssss wish that you should be brought to him alivvvve, then I'd eat you up, you look so delicious." To make its point, the snake opened his mouth a bit to reveal very sharp and poisonous fangs. "I'd bite you, slowly and painful, and then wait for the poison to work and kill you slowly. Ohh, and then I'd have you beg me for the potion to heal you." The creature smiled wickedly. "Then, I'd slowly lick you from head to toe and then I'd start with your feet and swallow your whole body." The thing smiled again before there was a shot heard, and Heero stared in shock at the - brain in front of him.

"Uwwaaaaa!!!!" The boy screamed, having some of the creatures head on his face. He suddenly felt the little parts moving, and to his utter and complete shock, the Head of the creature re-formed itsself and grunting, the snake dropped Heero and moved over to the person with the gun. Due to the bad light, the serpant didn't see the person in front of it, but as soon as he cleared his voice, the creature widened its eyes and bowed down.

"I'm sssssso ssssssorrry, master, I ddidnt know it wassss you." G just looked down at the bowing thing and went on to Heero. "Hello, Heero. I'm sorry that my servant scared you. He's quite new to the business and doesn't know the rules too well. But, let me introduce myself." G put the gun into the left pocket of his coat; then he held out his right hand and smiled. "I am Dr. G, genius of the science scene and father, in some way, of the projects you had hidden in your house for some time."

Heeros eyes widened in shock as G said the last few words. As if answering his thoughts, G spoke up. "Yes, Heero, I knew where they were, all the time. But I had no real use for them anymore for my new production of soldier is finished already." G cleared his throat once more before continuing. "This rotten boy, Duo as you call him, is nothing more than a prototype, useless because he has too many weaknesses. But the new series is perfect. And overrides 0-2's old mistakes. "

"And why," Heero interrupted the scientist, "have you brought me here? Duo is at my house, and I won't help you, no matter what." G suddenly smirked as he heard the boy's words. "Theeeehehe, do you really think what you just said? Do you… believe it? Really?" Heero stared at the man in front of him confused, not knowing what to think of it. Then he widened his eyes as understanding came to him. "Yes, my boy, Duo is here. He might think that the neat trick works, but while he has been absent, I've made some modifications in the system. He is no longer invisible for any eye inside this building."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Quatre was leaning against the wall in his cell, sobbing and panting. His left shoulder was bleeding badly through the fingers of the right hand he'd pressed against the wound. A guard looked at the boy and smirked. "Silly boy, this electric field is even stronger than before - and better. Neat tricks like the last time won't work again." Then the guard left, leaving Quatre alone to suffer.

The blonde boy smiled bitter, sweat dripping down from his forehead. "This is bad… who would have thought that it could end like this…" He then raised his right hand and took a small stone that was lying on the floor. The blonde boy looked at it for a few seconds before raising his arm to throw it - but thought otherwise. Quatre lay down and started to draw on the floor. He was humming some melody to it while his hand moved busily over the cold stone floor.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Out of the way! I have a message for G!" The guard ran through the corridors, closely followed by Duo who made a serious face. Heero, you will have to have a really, really good excuse for all of this, he thought while following the guard. The other soldiers were staring at their comrade as he ran through the corridors with the missing project 0-2 behind him. As one wanted to raise his gun, the guard quickly made a little movement of his hand and the other put his gun back. Sadly, Duo didn't see that or he could have understood what was going on.

After a few more minutes of running through the corridors, they arrived at a dark, metallic door. A little console with numbers on it was to the left of the door. The guard quickly typed in the code and the door opened. The man looked at Duo who stood a bit away from the door. As the man gestured for Duo to come over, the boy did that, but he looked around carefully so not to cause any attention.

"And this is the room?" he asked as he stood beside the guard. "Of course it is. Do you think I'd lie?" The man asked innocently. Duo looked at the man for some minutes before he quickly threw him in. "If there's nothing in there, then you won't have to worry." The project smirked as he heard screams and shouts from inside. After a short time, there was nothing else heard but silence. Duo nodded to himself and turned around to leave as something caught his ankle and pulled him inside. The door automatically shut behind him.

"Uah!!" He was pulled over the floor for some more meters before he was smacked against a wall. It wasn't only his ribs that suddenly hurt but his leg started to feel injured again, and god did it hurt. "Hgn…" Duo clenched his teeth and held his leg tightly, trying to suppress his moans of pain. As he could think clearly again, he tried to look around, but it was pitch-dark. Suddenly, the boy smiled.

"Okay, whoever you are, you can come out now, I wont run away or anything." Silence followed. Duo waited for a few more minutes before trying to stand up. He managed to do so, barely. As soon as he leaned against the wall however, something was around his ankle again and once again he was pulled over the floor until he hit the next wall. A groan escaped his mouth and he clutched his ribs tightly, trying to stop the pain somehow. But there was not much time before the attacker pulled again. This time, over something sharp on the floor, and Duo screamed as he felt parts of his skin sliced open and blood dripping out. Then he hit the wall again. The attacker left his ankle and a few lights on the wall were lit up.

"Ohh…" Duo groaned as he put his left hand onto the wound on his chest. He ignored the big cut in his face which barely missed his eye. Panting heavily, he swallowed and spoke with the loudest voice he managed to bring out. "Hey!!!!! Listen, you coward. I don't know who or what you are. But stop playing hide and seek and face me, man to man!!" A slight laugh was heard before Duo could see a light shadow in the dim light.

"Why man to man? I'm neither a man, nor a male. But I guess it shouldn't interest you anyway. " The thing came closer and Duo saw that it was - basically - a female, with loads of scales over the whole body. Only that the head looked really weird, having a greenish colour, and so did the long tail that was pulled behind the creature. "My brother sure has his fun now with your friend, or one of them anyway. Now I'm here to play with you, sweetie." The thing finally reached Duo and kneeled down to look into Duo's face.

"Ohh, you look really delicious. I think I'll have some fun with you before I hurt you even more. " The thing breathed in to smell Duo. "I'll bring you even more pain afterwards," it smirked. Then it pulled Duo up a bit and laid his head onto its breast. Then it wound its tail around Duo's legs so that the boy couldn't run away. Not that Duo could have done that anyway, he was too finished and had a monstrous headache, apart from the horrible pain of his ribs and the cut. As he lay there, all you could hear was his heavy breathing and a light sound of the creature's hand stroking over Duo's hair. "You will stay here for some time, right? My name is Drazil, by the way."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

In the meantime, Heero had been brought into one of G's lab rooms. Although it was an enemy, Heero couldn't suppress his astounded face as he looked over all the different glasses, fluids and the big main computer which showed a genetic analyze of one project. Heero suddenly started staring as he realized that it was actually Duo on the screen. G noticed the shock on Heeros face and his smile widened.

"Yes, boy, this is how Duo was built, how we made him invisible and what we did to give him the power of death." Heero went closer to the screen, totally fascinated by all the data. As he read through it just one time, he suddenly understood everything. Just why couldn't he come behind that secret himself?? It was a very simple trick, and yet, he had overseen it. G seemed to know what was going on inside of Heero.

"Well, Heero, sometimes the most complicated things are so easy." The doctor smiled, but it was not an evil smirk, but an honest smile. Heero looked at the scientist, somehow confused as he saw the smile. "Why are you smiling?" Heero asked, not noticing that he'd said what he'd thought. But G just answered the question anyway. "You are just so like me, Heero. When I was young, I was just as interested in science like you are now. And I didn't loose any of the fascination. Science is my life." Heero listened to the man, not quite understanding what he wanted to tell Heero.

"You know, I grew up in a country where there was war. I think Duo told you why I'm doing all this, now did he?" Heero nodded, remembering Duo's storytelling. Sadly, all of it had been plain reality. "You know, Heero. Nothing's as it seems, not really. I am acting like the crazy scientist so that people don't get too close to me. I'm keeping them under my order so that they respect me. But in reality, I just want to end the pain in my home country. That's why I'm doing all this, that is the real reason, Heero."

Heero just stared at the man who he'd thought of as a devilish person. But now he didn't seem like that anymore. The "evil doctor" suddenly seemed just like a crying kid, a broken heart. "But you know how much pain you're doing to my friends, do you?" G nodded. "I know, kid. But I will, no, I have to fulfil my message, and even if it means that innocent people suffer for it, it I for a good thing. Single person's deaths save a whole nation. Isn't that worth it?"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Quatre, in the meantime, was still drawing on the floor. But now the various lines and curves began to make sense - he was drawing angel wings. "Look at this, isn't it pretty?" He changed and Trowa looked over the unfinished masterpiece. "Yes, very pretty." Then Quatre re-appeared and continued drawing. He was nearly finished with both of them as a guard suddenly approached the cell.

"0-3, come with me." The man then shut off the field and put handcuffs around the boy's wrists. But Quatre didn't move from where he was sitting on the floor. "Hey, move!" The guard pulled at the chain connected to the handcuffs, but that only resulted in cutting into the boy's flesh with the cuffs. A few droplets of blood fell onto the wings and the boy's eyes widened.

"You… have destroyed my masterpiece…" The man only had enough time to question himself before Quatre suddenly punched hard into the guard's stomach. He widened his eyes, and they seemed to get even wider as an awful sound echoed through the cell and a quite large amount of blood fell onto the floor as Quatre's hand came out from the man's back. Quatre pulled back his arm and let the man drop onto the floor, smirking evil.

"Haha… finally, I have awakened." He murmured before walking on.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Okay, everyone ready? Everyone packed?" The chief of the operation asked as he looked over his men. Right at the front was Wufei - wearing a bullet-proof jacket with a red stripe from the right shoulder to the left side, protectors on his legs and arms and a helmet as well as some kind of sunglasses and a gun. The rest of the troop was looking alike.

"Yes sir!" The group answered before they formed a few smaller groups. "Okay then. As soon as we start the operation, every group is on its own. Wufei, I and the Alpha-Team will get to the first room, the Beta's and Gammas will take care of the second room, and the rest will secure our positions inside of the lab." Everyone nodded and with that, they quickly ran into different directions. Wufei just looked at the chief once more before nodding as well.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Mmmmmmhhh, Duo, you bad, bad boy." Drazil groaned as Duo pulled back from a long kiss. His eyes were blank and the expression on his face neutral. "Mmmh, humans are really easy to control." The creature smirked as she rose from Duo's lap. "Now pull up your pants and follow me, sweetie." Duo obeyed, not able to struggle anyway. Drazil walked over to a shelf with various bottles and picked up one with a golden liquid. Duo followed and just looked somewhere, being completely under Drazil's control.

"Do you know what this is?" She asked while holding up the bottle. Duo just shook his head slightly while staring at the floor. The female put her arm around Duo and pressed him against her breast, speaking up in her sweetest voice.

"This, my dear friend, is a potion that will make you completely mine. The potion you drank before will only make you unwilling temporary. But with this bottle, you will be mine, forever and always. And you want that, don't you?" Duo just nodded weakly. Drazil smirked. "Of course you want this, my boy." She opened the bottle and looked at the golden potion inside of it once more. Then, grinning, she took it and put the opening against Duo's bottom lip. "Now be a nice boy and drink this.."

`Drink, boy, and be mine. I will not give you to G. You're mine. You're just too damn pretty to be human. Yes, you will be my slave from now on, obeying to my every wish. Why kill someone like you? That'd be a waste of sexiness. ' She continued to think like that while the liquid slowly made its way towards the opening of the bottle.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Heero was still staring at G, thinking about everything. Then it burst out of him. "But you don't have the right to decide over other people's life like this! You can't just say `okay, I'm the great saviour, so be nice and obey and let me kill you!!' You can't just take away Duo's life like that…" Heero suddenly stopped over his own words. Now where did that came from? G just smiled over the boy's anger. "Calm down, I know that you can't understand me. No one does. But you didn't go through everything I did. You haven't seen all those dead bodies and you haven't heard the screams."

"But I've felt all the pain. Maybe it wasn't the same, but I've suffered too. Until Duo came into my life, it had been an endless torture. " G was astounded at the boy's answer. "But that doesn't give me the right to go around and kill every couple who mistreat their child." At that sentence, the older scientist was completely silent, thinking over everything. Was the boy right? Had he been wrong all the time?

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
