"NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HEEEEEERO!!!!!!!!" Duo screamed at the retreating shapes of Arises and the cockpit that encased his lover.
"Duo. Come." Trowa said, breaking through Duo�s screaming.
"Duo, if we don�t hurry they might capture us too." Quatre said, trying to help his lover in encouraging Duo to retreat. Pictures of Trowa and Quatre appeared of the side of Duo�s monitor, showing how badly they were effected by the battle. Trowa was in a sweat, with blood flowing from a cut on his forehead that dripped into his eyebrow and was redirected to the side of his face by his eye. Quatre�s banana-blond hair was stained red in spots and drips of blood covered his goggles. Duo himself wasn�t much better, his white collar was no longer white and it hurt to move his head because of a piece of metal that jabbed its way into the back of his neck.
"I don�t care!!" Duo shouted at them and started his mecha running after the stolen comrade.
"KISAMA!!!" Wufei voiced as he saw Gundam 02 run after what was left of Gundam 01. Shenlong�s left arm came up just in time to stop Deathscythe from running further, which was soon helped by Sandrock and Heavyarms.
"Let me go!!!!!" Duo yelled at the fellow pilots. "Let me go after Heero!!!" the only one to respond was Trowa.
"No." the unibanged pilot simply said. Duo tried to maneuver his way out of his comrades� grip, unsuccessfully.
"Let me go!! Quatre, the rest of us wouldn�t stop you if Trowa was caught! Let me go!!" Duo reasoned. When the three pilots showed no signs of letting up on him, Duo cursed and opened his cockpit. He jumped from the doorway and landed on the ground far below without a problem.
Duo took out the piece of metal in his neck and started to run, his braid swinging from side to side at his movement.
/There�re taking him too far away to imprison him at this base� I�ll never catch up with them at this rate�/ Duo thought.
Suddenly, a odd noise caught his attention, and he stopped to see where it was coming from. Through peripheral vision, he saw a piece of metal falling towards him, but Duo was too late. He was able to move a little to the side in the short time that he had, causing the large piece of shrapnel to miss his head. When the metal fragment impacted with him, it hit his back and went through his shirt and severed his right wing. The bodiless limb fell to the ground as a new wing regenerated itself from Duo�s shoulder blade. Duo folded his new wing up and concentrated for a bit, at which the back of his shirt looked like nothing happened. Duo looked down at his old wing slightly, but then ran on with the fear that the other pilots may have seen his wings and that he may not catch up with the Arises.
"Duo!!!" Quatre yelled at the braided boy, trying to get him to stop. As soon as the three of them exited their cockpits, they saw the braided boy start running again. Duo didn�t stop or react in any way to his name being called, but Quatre didn�t expect him to. Then Wufei pounced on the boy, pining him down.
"Wufei! Get off!!" Duo yelled before his braid was stuffed in his mouth. However, Wufei did oblige and stand up, but he didn�t let go of the other boy. "Come on guys, just let me go!" Duo started to plead with them as Trowa started to wrap a gundanium chain around his wrists. "Why won�t you let me go?!?!" He asked.
"We already lost one pilot, we don�t want to lose another�" Quatre said.
"So, you�re not going to let me go�" Duo mused to himself. "Sorry in advance then�" At these words, Duo�s wings unfold and break through the clothing.
The sudden movement causes Wufei and Trowa to step back so they wouldn�t be hit by� wings? Duo had wings? The three pilots were taken aback and confused at the appearance of an extra pair of limbs on Duo�s back. Duo broke the chain around his wrists and starts to fly off in the direction of the small dot off in the horizon that was his Heero.
"Wha-What the hell just happened?!? Damn it!! That bastard was telling us the truth when he said he was Shinigami� aww.. SHIT!!" Quatre voiced. He turned back to Trowa and Wufei, to find faces of greater confusion and surprise on their faces.
"KISAMA!! You�re innocent little Quatre cursed?!?!?!" Wufei shouted with disbelief towards Trowa. Trowa was stricken with the same look of disbelief, which was even more shocking because of his usual stoical look.
"Ummm�. Guys?" Quatre asked, hoping to change the subject. "What are we going to do about this?"
"What else is there to do? We�ll take our gundams to the next planned safety house and then come back to retrieve 02." Trowa said. Then the three boys turned back to the direction that their friends had left on, and watched the flight-bound figure of Duo fly out of saving range�. And ready to fly into the arms of OZ to save the Perfect Soldier.
