I do not own Gundam Wing,
Escaflowne, Pizza Hut, Wal-Mart, or whatever else you think I might own. I
don't make any profit from this, it's just for fun!
This story is dedicated to Dark

Chapter
Sixteen: An Old Friend.
To the
kidnapped children...
"Wakey,
wakey!" Professor G. said towards some Gundams.
Michael
opened up his eyes and saw the scientists. "What?" he said groggily.
"Wake
up!" Professor G. shouted again.
"Leave
me alone!" Dominic shouted back. (He's not a morning person.)
Michael
looked around at his surroundings. "You know, this thing sort of looks
familiar."
"It's
our fathers' machines." Michael heard Jimmy say over an intercom.
"Oh, I
don't want to go through this again!" Michael shouted as he tried to
figure out how to get out. Unfortunately, he couldn't find any buttons.
The Dr.'s
laughed. "It's no use! You are only allowed to use the speakers right
now."
"Will
you shut the hell up already, I'm trying to sleep!" Dominic shouted.
The Dr.'s
just looked at each other.
"Dominic,
wake up already! We've been kidnapped!" Michael shouted.
"Will
you-kidnapped?" Dominic said starting to realize something was wrong. He
looked around and realized he was in a machine again.
"How
come that one hasn't woken up yet?" Dr. S asked as he looked at Jimmy and
Neo's gundam.
Professor
G. shrugged. "Will you wake up!"
"I've
been awake." Neo answered.
The
scientists looked at each other. "Good, well this time history won't
repeat itself."
"Destroying
the asteroids won't do any good though!" Dominic shouted. "If one
little piece gets away then the earth will be completely unliveable!"
The
scientists all laughed at Dominic's comment.
Neo glared
at the scientists. "Don't or you'll be sorry."
"Sorry?"
Professor G. repeated.
Neo glared
at them. "Get rid of me, or you'll regret it."
The doctors
ignored Neo's comments. Dr. S. went over to a control panel. "Now take a
deep breath kids."
Michael
took a deep breath.
"I
don't think they met literally, Michael." Dominic replied.
Master O.
just looked at Professor H. "They haven't changed a bit."
Professor
G. grinned wildly. "They will in a few seconds." he said as he set an
automatic zero system to it's limit.
"No,
not this again!" Michael screamed. He felt as if his head was going to
burst.
"Professor
G. are you should take them up that high?" Dr. S. replied. "You may
push them towards insanity."
Proffessor
G. grinned. "Don't worry, we still have two more."
To the living room of the former
gundam pilots...
"Heero, you found it!"
Duo shouted as he rushed up to him. "Do you know where it goes to? Do you
know how it will help us? Do you know if the kids were there?"
"Do you know if you can
shutup?" Mae Linh said to Duo.
"Heero, please tell me you
know where that goes?" Relena asked as she stood up and put Rei down. Rei
moved over to Mingh Loh and exited the room.
"Yes, but you can't
come." Heero said to all of the women. "It's too dangerous."
"Well, what are we waiting
for?!" Duo shouted happily. "Let's move!"
Outside by the car...
"You be careful, Duo
Maxwell." Hilde warned.
"Aren't I always?" Duo
replied.
"Just find Dominic and bring
him back." Dorothy said.
Quatre looked at her. "I'll
try."
"Well, let's stop talking so
the guys can get out of here!" Catherine shouted at everyone.
The guys hopped into the girls'
vehicle and headed off.
One hour later...
"Ummm...Heero?" Duo asked
as he continued to walk through the seamingless empty space. "Where are
we?"
Heero looked at Duo. "The
outer limits before the air is unbreathable."
Trowa looked at their surroundings.
"There is nothing here, Heero."
Heero ignored Trowa. It has to be here...
Two hours later...
"Heero, where are we
going?" Duo whined. "My feet are beginning to hurt."
"Whatever was here is gone
now." Wufei replied.
"Don't say that!" Quatre
shouted. "I'm sure whatever Dr. J. said had some reason to it still!"
Quatre looked at Heero. "Heero, whatever you're looking for it has to be
here. We can't give up hope!"
Heero looked at Quatre and nodded
his head yes. He was trying his best to figure out where he was. The coordinates have to be right. It has to
be here. It has to be...
Suddenly, Heero stopped and saw an
old decrepid tree.
"How in the world could that
thing still be standing?" Duo asked.
Heero grinned. I found it.
Quatre looked at Heero, and opened
his eyes wide. "I would have never guessed this place! How did you
remember, Heero?"
Heero ignored Quatre and moved
forward.
"Why are we walking towards
some old tree that's barely alive?" Duo moaned.
"It's the way inside."
Quatre said as he ran up and pushed up one of the branches that looked like it
was going to fall off.
Then all at once, a secret entrance
came up from the ground. A set of metal stairs could be seen.
"An underground base?"
Duo asked Quatre. "Is it one of yours?"
Quatre looked at Duo. "That's
a nice thought."
Heero walked down the cold, metal
stairs. He pushed open a door and entered...
A library.
"A library." Duo stated.
"Why are we in a library?"
"Just follow Heero."
Quatre answered.
Heero moved through the vast
library. He twisted down the strange isles as if he knew exactly where he was
going. Suddenly he stopped at one section.
"Why'd we stop?" Duo
asked.
Heero pointed to a book on the
shelf and then picked it up.
"War and Peace?" Duo
replied. "I didn't know this was still even in publication."
"It stopped publication in
2098 actually." Quatre replied.
"Really?! This is a classic!
Can I have it?" Duo asked.
Quatre laughed as he motioned for
Heero to open it. Inside was only a place for a small key.
"Well, I guess not!"
laughed Duo.
Heero grabbed the silver key he hid
in his pant pocket and put it into the book.
The book case lifted up in front of
them.
"Wow, cool!" Duo shouted.
"Hey, Quatre? How did you and Heero know about this place?"
"It was a hidden base
Lieutenant Noin had made to hide mobile suits in the Sank kingdom so they
wouldn't be found." Quatre answered.
"Oh, yeah. You came here for a
little while, didn't you?" Duo asked.
Quatre looked at Duo. "Yeah,
to protect-"
"Would you stop reminiscing
already!" Wufei shouted from inside the base. "Get in here."
Quatre and Duo walked in. They saw
Heero and Trowa staring at something behind some Gundams.
"What's wrong?" Quatre
asked.
Heero pointed over by some gundams
and they all watched as Dr. J. slowly came out.
