The Trouble With the Truth Part Two: Time Marches On.

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.
