I went to go check the statistics for my stories and 
it had this new part to it. It said I have reviewed stories 
64 times. That is a lot of time (not wasted). I wonder who 
on FF.net has reviewed the most stories. Could be you…
Anywho, this chapter will be told in three different 
P.O.V.’s so it will be easier to understand. Thank you for 
the reviews on the last chapter by the way and I don’t own 
any this story. I do, however, own the clothes on my back 
(my parents own the rest and sometimes they think they own 
me, damn chores).
Chapter IV- Breaking In
*The next day at noon*
"I said I’m fine now stop fussing over me!" said and 
exasperated Makoto. They had all finished getting ready for 
their mission, which they unanimously accepted. They now 
all donned their uniforms (the masks and cloaks). 
Underneath they wore casual clothes.
"Fine…we’ll do this according to plan. I caught a 
glimpse of what the palace looks like," said the seer of 
the Present, Rei. 
"Let’s do this now before I loose my nerve," Mina 
said. The three linked hands. Minako glowed a soft yellow 
and gold light. ‘Power of Chance. Power over emotions. 
Venus Planet Power.’ Minako began to pulse Yellow and Gold 
as she thought this. ‘Power of Fate. Power over Fire. Mars 
Planet Power.’ Rei glowed Black then Red.
Both Minako and Rei opened their eyes in unison. 
"Teleport!" they both said. All three of them disappeared. 
They reappeared outside of some high marble walls. 
Makoto looked around. The marble walls surrounded the giant 
palace and trees surrounded the walls. They heard the 
noises of vehicles nearby and could tell they were entering 
through a gate. "I think you should leave now. Before 
somebody finds out we’re here. They probably increased the 
security because of the warning we gave," Makoto said 
sadly. 
Minako hugged her causing her to wince. Inside of the 
black cloak her abdomen was wrapped in bandages. "We can do 
this Mako-chan. Don’t worry. We’ll meet inside," Minako 
said reassuringly. Makoto chuckled. "Well its not like we 
haven’t broken into a palace before. Remember when we had 
to-"she stopped as she realized that it was neither the 
time or place. "Lets go Minako. We’ll go individually. We 
don’t have much power left so it’ll be safer," Rei said 
with a look of annoyance in her eyes. "Good-bye Rei. I 
would give you a hug but…" she let the words hang.
Rei nodded in her direction then closed her eyes. 
After glowing black and red she disappeared. Minako gave 
her a cheerful thumb up and disappeared as well. "Good 
luck," she whispered after them. 
"Now how the hell am I supposed to get in there…Its 
all my fault if I hadn’t insisted on coming I could be home 
baking something…but it was time to go into the outside 
world." Makoto looked around. She walked until she saw a 
road. It went through the gates but lots of guards had been 
stationed there. "Can’t go through there." She walked back 
to the copse of trees. "Wait…the trees," Makoto thought. 
She looked for a tree to climb. Then her eyes rested 
on the one in front of her. It was large and wide but 
served her purposes. The branches were an easy climb and 
reached over the wall. "Piece of cake," she thought. Then 
she looked to the first branch. 
A little later she reached the final branch. Her 
cloak was undamaged but her limbs were protesting to the 
abuse she had been giving them and she didn’t even want to 
think about the condition of her unhealed wound.
Now she sat on the branch that went over the fence. 
It led to a huge garden, beyond that she had not a clue of 
where she would go. "Come on Makoto. Lets jump down. It’s 
not that far. Just about ten feet," she thought to herself. 
Makoto rallied all of her courage and strength then jumped 
down to the garden. And as she reached the floor her vision 
went black.
When she opened her eyes she realized that she must 
have passed out for at least ten minutes. "Remind me never 
to do that again…" she huffed out. Once the pain began to 
subside and the double vision was lost she stood. Gripping 
the wall she made her way to a nearby tree and caught her 
breath.
"I still don’t get it Trowa. We didn’t find any 
assassins and we searched the whole city," a voice said. 
Curious, Makoto followed the voice until she saw Quatra and 
Trowa following a path back to the palace. She hid behind a 
tree when Trowa looked around suspiciously. ‘I have to 
follow them. I need to get in the palace. I just can’t let 
them see me. Simple,’ she thought optimistically.
Going from tree to tree, bush to bush she started to 
follow. Finally Quatra and Trowa stopped. Makoto breathed a 
sigh of relief for her body was screaming bloody murder. 
She crouched behind a large bush and listened to their 
conversation. 
"They lied," Trowa said simply. "All that hocus pocus 
for one lie? We checked everything and came up with 
nothing. Do you think it was a trap?" Quatra asked. "It 
doesn’t make sense to me either. Maybe they were telling 
the truth…"
Then Makoto felt a cold metal pressed against the 
back of her hood and heard a click. "A gun!" she thought. 
"Get up," a voice said in her ear, Heero’s voice. "Kuso! I 
had to get caught," she whispered.
"I said get up!" Makoto got up slowly. Quatra, Trowa 
and Heero by this time had surrounded her. "What are you 
doing here?" Heero demanded. Makoto didn’t speak as she 
tried to stop herself from saying a string of curses. 
"Sorry Miss but we’re going to have to take you for 
questioning," Quatra said soothingly. 
They reached a large white room. Makoto was tired but 
she took pains not to show it. Heero forced her to sit in a 
white chair at the foot of a small square circle. Quatra, 
Trowa and Heero sat facing her. It was deathly quiet in the 
room. The only noise was a steady tick tock of a clock. 
Makoto looked to the clock and gasped…it was 3:20…forty 
minutes until Relena would die. 
"Look, I don’t have time for this. I have to get out 
of here. Relena’s life is in danger. And you’re making me 
late," Makoto said. Her eyes were a dark green with her 
anger. "You’re not going anywhere until you answer some 
questions. Starting with who the hell are you?" Heero 
asked. Makoto glared at them all but said nothing. 
A burning question filled Heero’s mind. The anxiety 
he felt would not go away until he asked it. "Who did I 
shoot?" he asked. Makoto fingered her mask absentmindedly. 
That was when the boys noticed that it had a large crack in 
it. "Me, you shot me," she said calmly. 
Heero cringed inwardly. There was blood on the 
floor…two bullets. One had obviously cracked her mask. He 
wondered what it was made of to withstand the attack. But 
where the other bullet hit worried him, there was blood. 
"The other bullet, where did it hit?"
Makoto touched her side where the bandages were doing 
their job. "Right here," she said. Everybody’s eyes widened 
at her remark. Nobody could survive that without medical 
attention. And if she did get help she shouldn’t have been 
able to get up much less break in. And why wasn’t she in 
pain? They underestimated her strength and determination. 
"You’re lying," Heero said. Makoto took her hand off 
of her side and looked at it like it was something new. It 
was wet with blood. Apparently the bandages hadn’t been 
doing their job to well. "You need a doctor Miss Makoto," 
Quatra said and got up to go get one. "No, don’t. I’m 
fine…for now. Trust me I’ve had worse and I lived through 
it…well except for the time…never mind." They were 
intrigued, what was it she was talking about? It was vague 
but they determined she had died…impossible! Heero stood up 
rapidly causing the chair to fall back. 
He pounded his fist on the table. "Look! Give us some 
answers or omae wa korosu!" he said and aimed his gun for 
her. Before the terrified Makoto could respond there were 
two ear-piercing screams. Makoto recognized one as Minako. 
"Minako…" She jumped out of her chair and ran to the door. 
She was too late. The Gundam pilots had beaten her to it. 
"Stay here Miss, it’s for your own safety," Quatra 
said as the others made their ‘escape’. He closed the door 
behind him and locked it from the outside. 
Makoto slid to the floor in defeat. "It’s for your 
own safety," she mimicked, "Yeah right. They only want to 
keep me here so I don’t escape before they finish their 
game of twenty questions. I have to get out of here, even 
if it means I have to teleport…"
*Rei*
Rei looked at Makoto. "Why is she taking so long. I 
wanna get this over with. The less time I have to spend 
with those boys the better," Rei thought. "Lets go Minako. 
We’ll go individually. We don’t have much power left so 
it’ll be safer," She said with a look of annoyance in her 
eyes. "Good-bye Rei. I would give you a hug but…" 
Rei sighed and closed her eyes. "Power of Fate. Power 
over Fire. Mars Planet Power!" Rei whispered. In a flash of 
red and black light Rei was gone
As she reappeared she felt lightheaded. "Well I don’t 
think I’ll have enough power to do that in awhile," Rei 
mumbled. She had an urge to take off her mask and rub her 
face but fought it for fear of getting caught. She looked 
around and saw that she was in a gym. It had weights, a 
small track, a tennis court, basketball…the works. It was 
mostly empty…mostly.
"70…71…72…" began a voice. Rei spun around franticly. 
She hadn’t thought that there would be people in the gym 
but it only sounded like one voice so she should have been 
okay. Unless it was the enemy. ‘Damn, I can’t let myself 
get caught this early. I only just got here. I’ll have to 
make sure I don’t get caught. I wonder if Mina and Mako are 
okay? Well…we have a mission. I have to stop the group of 
killers. That should be easy. Now I just have to get away,’ 
Rei thought to herself from her hiding spot behind the rack 
of weights. 
"…99…100…Done," said the male voice. Rei found the 
source of the voice. It was a boy doing one handed pushups 
on a blue mat nearby. She couldn’t see who it was from her 
vantage point. The boy stood up and turned around to wipe 
his sweat with a towel. It was Wufei. 
Rei immediately backed up. ‘This is bad, this is 
really bad. Wufei-baka might take this the wrong way. How 
can’t he? He thinks we’re the enemy and if he sees me he’ll 
think I’m trying to kill Relena. Oh no! I can’t get caught. 
I have to get out of here,’ she thought nervously. ‘Back 
away slowly. That’s it Rei…’ Rei backed away slowly to 
avoid making any sudden movements. Then there was a loud 
crash. 
Rei had backed away too far and ended up backing into 
a ball rack, knocking it over. The balls were falling 
everywhere. Rei was on her knees to avoid getting hit by 
some of the heavier balls. Then, when she heard no more 
bouncing, she stood. ‘Well, there goes the game. He can’t 
possibly ignore me now. I hope Makoto and Minako complete 
the mission and come back for me,’ she thought hopelessly 
as she looked down at her feet.
Then she looked up and saw Wufei making his way to 
her. He had his katana in one hand and a gun in the other. 
"What are you doing here onna? You better have some 
explanation…Talk damn it," he said after a pause. Rei 
glared at him. ‘Well I’m not going without a fight. At 
least it’s shut that baka up,’ she thought with a smirk.
Wufei by this time was about two feet in front of 
her. "Now come with me," he said. Rei kicked the katana out 
of his hand, which landed in the pool, and attempted to 
take the gun away. They both struggled to gain control over 
the weapon. Then it flew out of both of their hands and 
landed about ten feet away. 
Rei and Wufei’s eyes locked for a moment then they 
both turned their attention to the gun. Rei raced to get it 
before him but he was in front of her. Then he reached for 
the gun. Rei lunged and grabbed his waist, pulling him down 
with her. She rolled on top of him and attempted to hold 
him there with one hand, the other was reaching for the 
gun. His sudden movement put the gun out of her reach.
He was pinned on top of her attempting to restrain 
her. ‘I wish Makoto were here. She was the blackbelt,’ Rei 
thought in desperation. Makoto was the karate maniac and 
had and still did, practice her art. Rei stopped in her 
second year of being a sailor scout. Hence the reason she 
called out for Makoto.
Rei used her knee and kneed him in the crotch. He 
groaned and rolled off of her. ‘Well, that was a good 
idea…’ Rei made her way to the gun doing a little victory 
walk. But then Wufei grabbed her ankle making her fall on 
her butt. And by this time she had enough of him and was 
attempting to knee him again but he was ready. She was 
seething with anger. 
Wufei had enough of the ‘weak onna’ too. He was 
trying to grab both her hands to restrain her before he 
called security. That’s when they both heard two ear 
piercing screams. They both rolled off each other and tried 
to catch their breaths. "That’s Minako…gotta…save her," Rei 
said between gasps of breaths. 
"I have to go save that braided-baka," Wufei mumbled. 
Without warning Rei sprinted out of the door in the 
direction of the scream. Wufei retrieved his katana and gun 
then ran out in the direction Rei went, determined to beat 
her there.
*Minako*
When Minako hugged Makoto earlier it was out of 
impulse. Makoto had looked so lost but tried to hide it all 
underneath her mask but her eyes betrayed her. "We can do 
this Mako-chan. Don’t worry. We’ll meet inside," Minako 
said reassuringly. Makoto chuckled. "Well its not like we 
haven’t broken into a palace before. Remember when we had 
to-" "Lets go Minako. We’ll go individually. We don’t have 
much power left so it’ll be safer," Rei said. "Good-bye 
Rei. I would give you a hug but…" 
Rei nodded in her direction then closed her eyes. 
After glowing black and red she disappeared. Minako gave 
Makoto a cheerful thumb up sign and closed her eyes in 
concentration. ‘Power of Chance. Power over emotions. Venus 
Planet Power!’ she thought going into a half trance. She 
disappeared after a display of orange and gold lights.
After reappearing she felt immediately hot and wet. 
Rivulets of water were raining down on her from seemingly 
nowhere. Her cloak was drenched but her mask unharmed. 
Wherever she was, was filled with steam. And she was 
standing on something marble. With limited visibility she 
reached out in front of her and felt a tiled wall. ‘Where 
the hell am I?’ she thought to herself. 
Minako turned around and saw a man behind her. He was 
turned the other way and whistling a song as he scrubbed 
himself. Actually from this behind it was hard to tell if 
it was a boy or girl because they had a braid. This 
assessment of the naked person happened quickly. She was 
stupefied.
The naked person turned after hearing a strange noise 
and saw Minako. It was Duo. That was when Minako and Duo 
both screamed in unison. Minako stumbled backwards and 
almost slipped in her attempt to leave. Her face, she knew, 
was as red as sunset even when she diverted her attention 
to his face…only his face.
With one hand she fumbled to get the shower door open 
but her attention still remained on Duo’s face. He tried 
moved closer to her. "Stay back! Hentai! Hentai!" Minako 
yelled as she finally got the shower door open. Duo reached 
out a hand and Minako stumbled out over the edge of the tub 
in her attempt to get away. Duo jumped out the tub. "Wha-
What are you doing here?"
Minako began crawling backwards on the rug and 
reached the door. "Ecchi!" she cried out. "Huh?" Duo asked 
dumbly. "You’re naked!" Mina yelled. Duo, if possible, 
blushed brighter then Minako had. 
He bent over and got his towel, which had fallen on 
the floor causing Mina to scream again. While he put the 
towel on Mina tried to get the door open. When she did she 
was standing in front of the barrel of a gun, much the same 
as Makoto had done earlier. But this time Heero looked 
confused and more then a little angry. Minako made a mad 
dash by Heero and found herself in a bedroom. She was 
restrained about the time she reached the bedroom door.
Turning she saw Quatra. "Sorry but you can’t go Miss 
Minako," he said as polite as ever. Minako, with a guilty 
conscience, struggled in Quatra’s grip. Trowa helped 
restrain the kicking and struggling Mina. Then the bedroom 
door opened and Wufei stood there. He was soon pushed aside 
and a cloaked Rei stood there. "Hey watch it onna," Wufei 
said. Rei snorted and then looked at the scene in front of 
her. 
That’s when she heard an audible click. No, it wasn’t 
the gun toting Heero Yuy; it was the sharp sound of 
handcuffs being closed. Mina and Rei were both now 
handcuffed and moved to a spot far away from the door, on 
the bed. Rei cursed her stupidity while Minako was still in 
hysterics. "Now, answer our questions," Heero said while 
putting his gun away.

I hoped you like that. It was another of my pitiful 
attempts at humor…rereading this chapter I have noticed 
that none of it is funny at all…they were just weird. 
Things are sort of funnier when they aren’t happening to 
you. And just so you know, I will be going to Miami on 
vacation next weekend so this might be my last update, if 
not I’ll try
