((Karosai's Note: I AM HEERO YUY! Wait no Heero's gonna be talkin'))

I looked at the area in front of me. It appeared to be where my Duo was tortured. I was ready to kill all of them. Love was a weakness and I was now weak. But I didn't care if I was the perfect soldier or not anymore. All I cared about was getting revenge for Duo's death and I would get it soon enough. And then I could die�even if I would be breaking my promise toDuo.

I stopped the Gundam. I couldn't go any further without getting caught and the Gundam blown to smithereens. I hopped out of the Gundam and looked around. I was wearing all black as I said before. And prepared to kill my enemies and anyone else who tried to stop me. It was nightfall and I could not be seen with my dark hair and clothes. I grabbed a gun out of my pants and held it as a lowered my body and ran past the brown, dead grass.

There were a few guards who were easy to get rid of. One bullet in the head and they fell to the ground. Simple enough if you ask me. I took one of the soldier's uniforms so I wouldn't be noticed as someone different. Also if the stealth mobile dolls were on guard duty they wouldn�t think of me as an enemy because I looked just like everyone else there.

I would have just walked right in through the front doors but I couldn't die till I killed Dr. Motaki, Dr. Bradley, and Dr. Sowa. I found a nice air vent that would probably lead me right where I wanted to go. I took off the cover and slowly slipped in. I saw a piece of black cloth ripped apart at an edge.

"Duo�" I whispered. I grabbed it and noticed how bloody it was. He must have cut himself on the edge.

I put it in my pocket then continued moving. I stopped on a vent where I heard four people talking. One was a scrawny man in a lab coat. He had HUGEglasses and was pretty much the stereotype for scientists. I figured this one was Dr. Motaki because of the crazy look in his eyes and his beyond pastycomplexion.

The second one was a tall girl with pretty dark brown hair that went past her back. She to had glasses but they fitted her quit well and made her look rather intelligent. She had a sad expression on her face that ruined the beauty that should have been there. The girl was hugging her lab coat tightly for some reason. She had to be Dr. Bradley.

The third person was another girl. But she wasn'tnearly as pretty or as sad. She had an evil smile on her face. She was short, scrawny, and had an annoying voice. Her glasses were about two inches thick and the lady was still squinting. She had a pasty complexion and a lab coat. I knew she had to be Dr.Sowa.

Finally the fourth person was a man in a suit. He had wiry black hair that had lots of gray in it. He was smiling and had a look of greed on his face. He was the only one without a lab coat and glasses. And so of course he was the man in charge of this base.

I held my gun in my hand ready to shot them in their little heads. But then I realized that their death wouldn't hurt at all. I looked at all the doctors and sort of laughed to myself.

'Duo thought that these were the medicine type of doctors and that's why he wouldn't let me take him to a hospital.' I chuckled to myself silently. That's what happens when a boy isn't given proper education.

"So no one's come to find the Gundam pilot after he left?" asked the president. I realized they were talking about Duo and stopped laughing.

"No sir. No one came looking for him after that person helped him escape." Answered Dr. Motaki.

"So then we can assume he's alive and with the pilots now." The man questioned.

"Yes sir. Which would mean they have information about the stealth mode and the torture. Not to mention they now know the location of this base." AnsweredSowa still smirking.

"Well then Dr. Bradley what do YOU propose we do?" he asked sliding over to the girl who looked as though she were on the verge of tears.

"Leave them alone. Haven't they suffered enough?" Every one blinked and then she continued. "Not only was their childhood's messed up but now we are making their teenage lives horrible too. One, Heero Yuy, had his parent's die�he was also raped by the man whom raised him. Number two, Duo Maxwell, was an orphan and went to Maxwell church to grow up. The person named Sister Helen died and some other things that weren't ever written down also happened afterwards. Number three, Trowa Barton, lost his family as a child and was found by mercenaries. He was raised by them and named Nanashi, no name. He ended up killing the men who raised him. Number four, Quatre Rebarbra Winner, killed his mother by being born. So his father told him he was like his sisters, test tube babies. Number five is a member of the dragon clan. His wife died and was a very strong woman who fought against OZ. Not much more I know about him though." Said Bradley giving a death glare to the president.

'Maybe I should keep her alive�she looks helpful.' I thought. I shook my head. From what Hilde told me she was one of the people responsible for MY Duo's death�it was their fault I am so damned confused. I can't tell if Shinigami, Death, is alive or dead. I just can't figure it out�I could touch him, hold him�but�he almost seemed transparent. I didn't know whom I loved or what I loved anymore and for that they would all pay dearly. But still I somehow wanted Dr. Bradley to live. I decided that if I found her useful her life would be spared. If she turned out to belike the rest she would die.

"So you propose we leave the pilots alone even though they are trying to destroy everyone of us?" Asked the president almost amused by the decision and very much though it was a joke.

"Yes I do. And I also suggest we destroy our means of torture. I saw what you all did to that poor boy. Electrocuted him, put a steel blade through him�and the worst thing you irresponsible people did in front of everyone to humiliate him�was rape him while he was unconscious." Dr. Bradley sighed heavily and buried herself in her lab coat. She leaned against the table and a tear fell down her face.

I blinked many times�they had no clue what they did to him�except Bradley at the most. She seemed to be a very emotional person indeed who had a heart and shouldn't have been working for OZ. My Duo was raped by�monsters. I would never forgive them�but I wanted to question Bradley about her involvement in all ofthis�

I soon realized I wouldn't be able to wait for her to leave the room because well�so far the conversation seemed to be heading in the direction of her NOTleaving.

"So you are saying you are against what we do Dr. Bradley?" asked Sowa sharply putting a slim palefinger in Bradley's face.

She seemed to hesitate and looked like she was ready to back down. She took a deep breath of air and I could almost see all the things that happened to Duo flash through her eyes. And then it stopped on one thing� Duo getting raped. She titled her head so that her eyes and glasses shimmered. She let the air outand her chest lowered.

She sent all of the people in the room a quick glance then spoke; "I am against everything you people have ever done including your horrible pathetic births. You people shouldn't be alive at this moment and should be barred in a deep grave. I hope that before you kill me for these words�that I can watch you in some pain." All their eyes narrowed on her andshe looked up.

She looked directly at me and peered into my soul. A single tear of happiness fell from her face. I saw her mouth something�It looked like she said "He will always be with you�look around�my death is near�" I blinked with shock but then I decided I had to help her. She was too sad and Duo wouldn't want someone coming to him with a sad look on their face.

I snapped through the air vent and landed on my feet like a cat pouncing on it�s pray. "I am death." I mouthed. No one noticed me�that is except Dr.Bradley.

"You can't kill me. I am not able to die till I succeed in killing you!" shouted Bradley. Sowa and Motaki both grabbed her arms and just as fast they were hurled off her. The president didn't turn to herand instead looked at me.

A husky voice said, "I have joined you."

"AH IT'S DEATH!" shouted the man in a suit. Dr. Bradley took a gun out of her lab coat and aimed it atthe president's head.

"Omae o korosu." She said plainly as she shot himin the head.

I blinked. What the yaro was she doing using MY line? "Who are you?" I asked her bluntly. I didn't think she could be one of the people who took part inDuo's death.

"I am who I've always been. I am a pawn in this game of war. Now who are you? Do you deserve to live? Do you know of that sweet Maxwell kid?"

I was confused as to how I got to asking questions to her. I answered in my monotone. "I am Heero Yuy. I think I should die. And I knew Duo� but he�" I heldmy head in pain from the sad memory.

"Your name. It's a lie. Heero Yuy is a dead colony leader. And as for Duo�he had two people living in him. Is Duo dead or Death 'dead'?" sheasked.

"I am Odin Lowe Jr. Duo is dead Shinigami isn't." I answered. I wondered how she could be so good as toget me to tell the truth�

"Better. Now then what�s your mission here? Your purpose also works�I am just assuming you are a Gundam pilot as well." Said Bradley putting the gun backcarefully into her lab coat.

"Are you sure you should put it away?" I asked. She was either unbelievably smart or incrediblystupid.

"You aren't a threat. Now answer the question boy. I have no time to waste."

"My mission is to seek revenge for Duo's death. Also get information on the stealth mode." I saidbleakly.

"Well then keep me alive. I know all there is to about the stealth mode." She peered into my eyes as if she was reading my soul. "And as for Duo's torture. I had no part in that my name just shows up because Iam a main scientist for OZ and they think I have everything to do with everything. Even though recently they are trying to kill me�"

"Okay. Well where should I go next?" I asked.

Behind Bradley there was a little motion from Motaki and Sowa. I didn't notice it at the time but the two doctors were slowly seeping out of the room as we talked and I didn't even notice. Either didBradley.

Dr. Bradley blinked. "Anywhere. I suppose you want to kill everything that had to do with his death so I suggest that you go to the school a ways down and destroy it. Also blow the hell out of this base. Other then that I have no clue. It's all up to you and how you get your revenge." She smiled then added in a sweet angelic voice, "Please call me Bay."

I nodded. After all what else could I do? Tell her to call me Odin�well I was about to tell her tocall me Heero but�

"Come on Mr. Heero we must find away out. Then set a few bombs� blow up the building. Eh?" asked Baysmirking at me.

My eyes narrowed at the multi personalities filled women. "So you know your way around? Let us go then�" I proceeded to walk past her when her arm was put in front of my face then down to my arm. She gently held me there then looked deep into my eyes. She was peering into my soul once again.

"One thing before we leave�" she said getting her teary eyes again.

"Nani?" I asked in my monotone voice.

"Were you the Heero Yuy�Odin Lowe Jr.�that Duo loves?" she tilted her head and her eyes shimmered as if ready to cry. It seemed she already knew theanswer but I answered anyway.

"I guess�I guess he loved me�"

She quickly hugged me and I just looked on strangely. I would have stopped her but her cries were so loud and her grip was strong.

"I am so sorry�he cried out to you while he was sleeping�when he was raped he screamed out your name so many times�it was nerve wrecking to watch him and that's probably why Hilde realized she was being greedy and tried to save him." She whispered into my ear. She wiped away her tears and stopped hugging me. "He loved you so much�he was thinking about you evenwhen he was unconscious�"

A thought crossed my mind. "How many times�was heraped?"

She sighed deeply then eventually made her eyes look into mine again. "Everyday when he was unconscious they raped him at least once�usually aboutthree times�"

Anger filled me and I grabbed the gun out of my pants and aimed it at her head. "Omae o korosu." Isaid flatly.

"Please do. Kill me now please�I don't want to live knowing that I let this happen. Even if I didn't do it it's the fact I let it happen and for that I deserve death�please shot me now." Dr. Bradley lowered her head and put a hand in front of her eyes and her other hand slipped into her pocket and grabbed something. Curiosity filled me and I felt a lot like Duo as I bounced next to her. She leaned back onto the desk in shock that I was next to her smiling instead of in front of her killing.

"What's in your pocket?" I asked.

"It's nothing�please kill me." She muttered.

I was a little angry but instead of taking it out on her I reached into her pocket and took out several pictures. Some were of Duo suffering and then there were three that were special�

In one Shinigami was hovering over Duo. His scythe out and a saddened look on his face as he watched Duo get raped. I held it closer to me so I could see the faces on the picture�the rapists. One was Dr. Motaki. Another was the sick women Dr. Sowa. And the others were a group of people I didn't know about.

In another there was a picture of Duo and me together. It was one of the happy moments when I was actually smiling. And so was Shinigami I guess I should call him. He was leaning over me�lacking clad. And his hair was undone. I to was naked and had the same hair as always. I remembered that moment. That's when Duo told me I was truly the most beautiful creature he had ever seen and I whispered I loved him more then life its self. He didn't hear me though because I said it so quietly. I was almost torn apart when Quatre asked me if I ever told Duo I loved him. Because the truth was�no�

The last picture that caught my eye was of a little girl with braided hair. She looked a lot like Duo except girlier. She had on a yellow little dress and a yellow ribbon tying her hair into the braid and it was weaved in. Little yellow shoes and bright violet eyes. She was so much like Duo� I looked at Dr. Bradley who was crying harder then anyone I had everseen.

I put the picture in front of her and asked, "Whois she?"

Between sobs she slowly answered, "That is�mydaughter�"

I blinked. This woman looked so young and the little girl looked to old to be her child. "How?"

"I adopted her when I was 23 with my husband�he left me and said that he didn't love me anymore. All I had was that little angel� But she was somethingdifferent�she was Life."

I blinked once again. "Life?"

"You know how Duo has let Death come and live inside of him? Well my daughter let Life do the same thing. She was taken away from me a couple years later by my ex-husband. She cried and cried�" she looked to heart broken that I just wanted to do something for her. But there was nothing I couldpossibly do�

I nodded solemnly. But before I could try to do anything she stuffed the pictures back in her pocket except one. The one of Duo and me smiling. She handed that one to me and whispered in my ear.

I nodded and sort of smiled. Not the famous smile I have before I kill someone. It was the type I had with Duo but a little different. (Karosai's note: HAHAHAHA aren't I evil? You have to wait till part 4 to learn what the hell she said to him! Aren't Igreat?)
