Back in the dark chamber. Drazil was holding Duo, The fluid coming nearer and nearer the opening. "Just a few more seconds and you will be mine." The golden substance was touching Duo's bottom lip now. Drazil's smirk widened. "Yes, drink, drink, drink!!!" She tilted the bottle so that the fluid was rinsing out quicker, right into Duo's mouth. As soon as the bottle was empty, she pushed Duo's head back so that he really swallowed the stuff. After he'd gulped once, Drazil's smirk widened and she started to laugh.

"Haha!! Oh, if only G could see me now!!! Me, being "just" a silly little project, able to control another project!! And I did it all by myself!" She continued laughing until a slap was delivered to her face. She quickly balanced herself after the hard blow and glared into the direction of the attack. But her gaze changed from angry o annoyed as she recognized the person.

"Tnepres…" She growled as the big snake approached her. "What are you doing here? You have your own room. Go away." But the other project didn't make any move to leave. Drazil quickly got annoyed and swung her tail to hit her brother, but he dodged the attack.

"G wants to see you. I was on my way to him before he told me to get you too. And before that you should go to the big training hall and check if the I.M [1] are all ready and okay." Drazil growled loudly and tried to bite her brother in the arm, but Tnepres was quicker and moved out of the way, leaving her to fall down. "Hurry up and stop playing around with 0-2. You should bring him to our master, btw." With that, the snake opened the door and left it open as he moved out of the room.

The lizard lady glared after her brother and smacked her fist into the wall. "Bring 0-2 to G. Fuck you, Tnepres!!! He's mine, and mine alone…" She smirked before walking over to the unwilling boy, kissing him. "Duo, we will have some more fun together, so lie down." She demanded and Duo followed her orders.

In the lab room, G and Heero were facing each other, not saying a word; until Heero finally had enough courage to speak again. "And… you really ordered to get Duo here?" They've had talked about G's reasons again and about what Duo meant to Heero.

G nodded. "I told my most trustful child to get him here." Heero suddenly made a surprised face over the word child. "Child?" G nodded again. "For me, each of these projects is a child to me. I have collected them from the streets, and I have changed them into what they are now. So, I too carry the responsibility for every single one of them." Heero nodded this time. That was a real scientists way of thinking. He remembered that, when he'd first mixed two different plants which couldn't be mixed normally, and he'd gotten a new breed out of it, he was really feeling like a father, or a mother, and he was very proud. And when the plant had died later, he was very sad and made a little gravestone for her. He could, too, remember, that everyone in the lab had laughed at him.

"Heero?" The boy was pulled out of his thoughts. "Hm?" G looked at him seriously. "You know, I am already very old. I would like to fulfil my mission before I die. But, would you do me a big favour after I've died?" Heero stared at the doc as he explained what he wanted from Heero.

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

"Stop him!!!"

"Get more soldiers down here!!!"

"It's too late!! He can't be stopped anymore!!! RUN!!!!!"

Chaos. Guards and soldiers were running away from the glowing boy walking down the corridor. He wasn't quite visible due to a large amount of dust and smoke, but as he came out of the cloud, no one was sure just what it was. It had been Quatre, that was clearly visible since it was still his body and his head - but there was a second head, too, growing out of the boy's throat. And it just looked too much like Trowa. While Trowa's face had no expression, Quatre grinned evilly, blood running down from the left corner of his mouth.

"Yes, run, you silly little humans, you have n o t a s i n g l e c h a n c e a g a i n s t me." He smirked before closing his eyes and jumping forward, right in front of one running guard. The man had just enough time to scream before Quatre rammed his elbow through the guy's stomach. He spat out some blood before falling down, creating a small puddle of blood. Quatre grinned as he seemed to teleport himself in front of another man. He rammed his hand through the man's throat and laughed out cruelly as the man's blood hit his face.

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

"God, just look at all these soldiers!!!" Wufei growled aloud as he looked through a little window into the big training hall with probably thousands of I.M. He and the chief had taken the way through the air system, sneaking over one of the two halls which were their targets. "What can we do to stop them?! They are too many!" The project continued. The chief busily typed on a little laptop while listening to Wufei's talking. "Just a few more minutes, Wufei, I'm currently hacking into G's computer system, trying to find out their weakness." That soothed Wufei a bit and he leaned against a wall.

"I can only hope that our men were able to secure their positions. Otherwise we'll have some problems retreating again." The chief noted while typing. Wufei looked out of the window again, shaking his head in disbelief. `They will kill us…' Then, a strange sound caught his attention. The chief didn't seem to hear it, but Wufei's ears were sharp enough to hear it. He couldn't identify it, but at the next second, hundreds of little black creatures ran around the corner of the pipe they were sitting in right now.

"Damn… " Wufei whispered before putting his claws on the chiefs shoulders, just early enough before the creatures pushed them out of the window. Some fell after them, making a squashing sound as they died at the impact with the floor, just a few seconds before Wufei hit the ground and an awful sound of breaking bones was heard. The chief was on top of Wufei, and as he opened his eyes, he noticed that they were in some kind of trouble since they were completely surrounded by I.M.

"This… is not good…." He whispered before they came closer and closer.

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

"WHAT DID YOU SAY!?" G shouted as a bleeding guard reported him what was going on. "I'm sorry, sir, but we can't stop 0-3." The man then blackened out and fell down. G gritted his teeth and quickly went over to his computer, looking for Quatres and Trowas data. Heero walked over to the other scientist and read through the data as soon as it was popped up. "This is bad…" G murmured. Heero nodded to himself as he looked at the screen. "But it's not a big problem really." He commented, pointing at some weird numbers and signs. "See this? Due to the time the union had been lasting, this gene and this molecule structure dissolved completely. But on the other hand, these cells have changed. Now if we get to change these cells in the other way, and then we must add a certain amount of proteins and maybe a few other things as well, and that should eventually finish the separation process." G just stared at the boy, being really fascinated. `You are a miracle, Heero.'

Just as Heero was finished explaining, Tnepres suddenly stormed into the room. "Master!! Master!!!" Not speeding down, he `ran' into the desk and nearly knocked himself out. The creature rubbed its head and panted heavily. As G got closer, he noticed all the scratches on the project's body. "God, Tnepres! What happened?" Heero rushed to the thing's side and both scientists helped it to stand up again.

"It's … Drazil… she escaped with.. the 0-2. I... couldn't stop her... she attacked me… " G shushed Tnepres and looked into Heero's serious eyes. But they were disturbed by Tnepres. "But… that's not all… master…" It took in a deep breath before continuing. "0-5 and some other guy are surrounded by I.M. in the training hall. They got no orders, but they are deactivated right now. However, in approximately 2 minutes, they will be activated and their only order right now is to kill any enemy, so, any unidentified person." Heero's eyes widened as he heard that.

"WHAT!? But, you can't let that happen!!" The younger scientist shook G's shoulder hard. But the old man just had a very sad expression on his face. "G! Please do something!!" Tnepres pulled Heero back from the scientist. "Don't act so disrespectful!"

"Leave us alone for a few minutes, Tnepres." The snake wanted to argue, but shut his mouth and let go of Heero before leaving the room. Heero just stared at the snake before G put a hand on his shoulder. The young scientist turned around and looked into G's sad face. "Heero, you were right. All the time. And I apologize for everything. Here." He gave Heero a syringe with a clear liquid. At Heero's confused look, the man started to explain again. "When you meet Quatre, then give it to him, it should change him back. Take Tnepres with you." Heero didn't quite understand, but the doctor didn't let him ask.

"You'll have to leave the building within 10 minutes. Just follow Tnepres, he knows how to get out. Don't forget to pick up Wufei on your way. And take this, too." G went over to the computer and took out a laptop from the top drawer. He then went back to Heero and gave it to the confused boy. "On this computer, you'll find every information about all of my projects. And you're a smart boy. You'll figure out how to change them back. "

Heero was still confused, but Tnepres came back in, again, not giving Heero a chance to ask. "Master…" The creature had tears in his eyes although, normally, a snake couldn't have cried. "Shush, my dear. You will protect Heero, will you?" The doc smiled sadly as he went over to the computer again and typed in a certain code. A clock appeared at the screen, showing 10 minutes. The doc typed some more and the time started to run.

G turned around once more and looked at Heero. "Heero, you have been right, all the time. I have no possibility to make the things I've done undone. But I can prevent my army to flee. Less than seven minutes now, Heero. Run, and run as fast as you can. Leave this building, or you will be buried under its stones." It as only now that Heero understood what was going on.

"No! You can't do this!! You could be very helpful for the science; you just need to use your talent wisely!!! " Tnepres pulled at Heero's shoulder. "We need to go, boy." Heero felt a few tears running down his face as he weakly nodded. G smiled. "You will replace me, Heero; I know that you will be able to keep your promise." The boy nodded again before he started running, closely followed by Tnepres. G turned around and stared at the screen and the time. Just 9 minutes now. It was going to get close.

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

Tnepres was moving as fast as he could, but due to his wounds, he was slowly getting behind Heero. "B- boy…" he panted before he broke down, breathing heavily. Heero noticed that and quickly turned around again, rushing to his momentary partner. "Tnepres!! Please, get moving!!! " A sound from the right made the young scientist freeze. He slowly turned around and saw a shadow approaching. His eyes widened as he recognized who it was.

"Quatre…"

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

Wufei was jumping high in the air and quickly rammed his claws into a thin pipe under the ceiling, gritting his teeth as he felt the broken ribs. The chief was holding tightly onto Wufei, not wanting to fall down into the crowd of I.M. "Wufei, what shall we do??" The project just growled and carefully tried to move along the pipe, but he stopped as he heard some screws falling down. The chief stared at the direction from the sound, realizing that the pipe wouldn't hold out their weight.

"Wufei…" He whined. "Quiet!" Wufei growled as he pulled out his front claws and dropped the chief. The poor man screamed on the top of his lungs before Wufei grabbed his hands. Tears in his eyes, the chief shouted at 0-5. "Wufei, are you crazy????????" But the project ignored the man and started swaying. It was only then that the chief noticed a high shelf about 8 meters away from them.

"H- hey, you're not gonna throw me over there, are you?" He got his answer as Wufei let go off his hands after he had swayed enough. Right after the chief hit the wall and dropped onto the secure shelf, the pipe Wufei was on broke down and the former boy fell into the mass of soldiers.

"WUFEIIIIII!!!!!"

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

Far away from all of the chaos inside the secret laboratory, Drazil was running through a corn field, Duo closely behind her. The lizard lady was cursing all the time before she stopped running, Duo copying her and standing still behind her. The female project looked back at the lab in anger.

"Pah, Tnepres, you… traitor… " She looked at her bloody claw. It was her brother's blood. "Why did you have to become so loyal? Why couldn't you just cooperate with me? You could have had such a nice life together with me, and my slave. But now, you'll have to die inside of there." Snorting, she moved on, Duo following her with a bowed head.

[1] I.M.= Invisible Men ^-^

Short chappie, crappie chappie. But the next chapter, believe it or not, will be the last one. And I wanted to come over the magic 10th chapter. That's why this one is so short. Hope all of you liked the twist this story got. It's a bit cliché, and I'm sorry for that. Still, please REVIEW??
