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

Chapter Nineteen: Dangerous Things Come In 'Small' Packages.

A little while later...

The guys got the kids out of their wacked-out Gundams.

"Ooh, nice! Roomy!" Michael shouted. "Yours is nicer than mine, Duo!"

Duo looked at Michael and smiled. "Hey, pilots? Should we go see if Heero's okay?"

"That would probably be best Du- no Dominic don't touch that!" Quatre shouted through the intercom. "I think Wufei and Trowa are already flying toward him now." he said as he watched Nataku and Heavyarms flying away.

"Yeah, well I'll follow them as soon as I get the kid buckled up." Duo said.

Michael looked around and pointed at everything he could. "Ooh, what's that Duo?! That too, Duo, what's that do?! Ooh Duo, what's this do?!"

 "No, no Michael! Don't touch that!!" Duo said as he stopped Michael from almost hitting the self- destruct button.

To Heero...

Heero looked at Neo. Neo looked at Heero.

"Hey Heero, need some help?" Quatre shouted out.

"No." Heero responded.

"Heero, just press that blue switch on your left." Quatre said.

"I already did." Heero replied.

"Did it not work?" Wufei asked.

Heero looked at the others. "He's fine now."

"Then why don't you have him inside your Gundam?" Quatre asked.

Heero looked at Sandrock. "He refuses too."

"Neo, will you hurry up and get in so we can go home?!" Michael shouted out of Duo's intercom.

Neo didn't reply and started to head down to colony L71.

"Hey kid?! Where are you going?!" Duo shouted. "Heero, where the hell is your kid going?"

Michael looked at Duo. "I'm telling mom you cussed in front of me."

Duo looked at Michael. "No, please don't tell!" he whined.

"Only if you promise that you'll get me some candy again." Michael said crossing his arms.

"Candy?!" Duo whined. "I just saved you though kid!"

"Fine." Michael said. "Then only if you kiss mommy under the mistletoe."

Duo looked at Michael. "Uh-uh! Alright kid, I'll get you the candy."

Michael just smiled at Duo. Duo just looked outside. "Hey, where did everyone go?!"

"They all followed Neo." Michael replied. Duo just looked at Michael as he sped off toward L71.

On L71 with Neo...

"Well, I can't believe those stupid pilots interrupted again!" Professor G. said as he grabbed his coat and walked out of the hangar. "Let's get out of here. We'll have to try something else another day."

"No." a voice said in front of them.

"Well, it's Neo." Dr. S. said. "It's nice to see you. Did you accomplish your mission?"

"No." Neo said.

The doctors looked at Neo. "Look, kid. Get out of the way. There is no way your father's are going to catch us."

Neo looked at them and grinned. "Told you to get rid of me."

Back to the pilots...

All of the guys' Gundams landed near where they saw Neo land. 

Heero got out of his Gundam and looked around. "Where is Rei?"

 "We told them to get out right after Professor G. called us." Duo replied as he started to get out.

Suddenly, the guys saw another Wing Zero land and Rei got out.

"Onna? Where is Mingh Loh?" Wufei asked.

Rei was silent.

Wufei walked up to her. "Where is she?!"

Rei looked at Wufei. "I went left, she went right."

"Right?" Quatre asked. "That's where the mine's were, right?"

Rei went silent again.

"The chances that..." Quatre tried to say. "Sorry Wufei."

Wufei looked at the pilots. "She is strong! I know she survived!"

"She couldn't survive shooting them down one at a time. I don't think I could." Trowa remarked.

Wufei just stood silent.

Heero looked at Wufei and motioned for the other's to leave him.

"Well, what should we do?" Quatre asked.

"Find Neo. There is nothing we can do for his daughter." Heero replied.

The pilots and their children left Wufei and started walking. They called out Neo's name.

"Yo, kid!" Duo shouted.

"Hello, Neo?" Quatre shouted.

"Get out here already Neo!" Michael shouted.

Everyone continued shouting out Neo's name.

Back to Neo...

"Neo!" Neo heard behind him.

"Dammit, you led them right to us!" Dr. S. shouted at Neo.

Neo just grinned evilly. "It's not them you should worry about." Neo looked the scientists straight in the eyes.

"Oh, wow..." Professor G. said in awe. "He looks..."

"Like Heero Yuy." Dr. S. replied. "In a bad mood."

To the guys a little while later...

"Hey, I see your spooky kid up ahead!" Duo shouted to Heero. All the guys looked ahead.

"Neo!" everyone called out.

Neo just leaned against a fence with a bloody pencil while the pilots moved toward him.

"What are you doing back here, Neo?" Michael asked him.

Neo looked at his pencil. "To see the scientists."

The pilots noticed his pencil.

"Did you actually kill'em?!" Duo shouted.

Neo just pointed to the fence behind him.

The guys jumped the fence. They saw the scientists tied up with a rope, tied into a bow. The guys breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're so lucky, Heero. If Relena's son did kill them, you would be in so much trouble!" Duo said to Heero. 

Heero ignored Duo.

Quatre jumped back over the fence. He looked at Neo's pencil. "Why are you holding a bloody pencil?"

Neo looked back at him. "Professor G. didn't listen very well."

Quatre just slowly backed away from Neo. He grabbed Dominic's hand and walked away.

Neo just grinned.

"What's wrong?" Heero asked Duo.

"The time's getting closer for the asteriod's to strike isn't it?" Duo asked.

Heero shook his head yes.

"Then we'd better get going!" Duo shouted. "So, what should we do these scientists?"

Heero looked at them. "I just have my knife. That's messy."

Duo looked at the others. "Well, does anyone have just a gun or something?"

"A gun? What do you want a gun for?!" Michael said.

The guys looked over and saw the kids watching them over the fence.

"Umm, well...Okay, now what?" asked Duo.

Heero thought about it, but suddenly realized he knew this area. He also knew what was near this neighborhood. "I'll take care of it. Take the kids and get out, I'll be back soon."

Duo and Trowa shook their heads and jumped back over the fence.

Heero looked at the doctors. I've wanted to do this for a long time...

The guys walked back over to Wufei.

Duo looked at Wufei. "Hey, Wufei. We're going to leave now."

Wufei just stood silent.

"Don't die here, Wufei. It wouldn't be honorable." Trowa responded as he put Jimmy into his Gundam.

Wufei didn't answer.

To Heero...

"Alright, Mr. Yuy. I just need to you to sign here on the dotted line." a lady said.

Heero signed the piece of paper. "Are you sure you can handle them?"

"Oh, sir! We specialize in taking care of these 'special people'." the lady answered.

Heero walked up to the scientists who were in muzzles and straight jackets. "Make sure you watch this one here." Heero said pointing to Professor G. "He's the wildest. He even stabbed himself with a pencil."

"Yes sir, I hope to see you around!" the lady said happily.

Heero grinned to himself. Not likely...

Heero went inside of the building and looked at the sign. Hopes and Dreams: Mental Institution for the Elderly.

Heero just smiled to himself. Finally home where they belong.

Heero walked over to his Gundam. He saw Neo waiting by it.

Heero looked at Neo. Neo glared at Heero.

The wind rustled through Neo's hair as he continued glaring at his father.

Heero knew he would have to be the first one to talk. "Neo, hop in. It's a time machine so don't make a fuss."

Neo continued to glare at Heero. "I will never trust you."

Heero looked back at Neo. "That will change one day."

Neo looked back at Heero. "Don't bet on it."

Heero thought back to Relena's conversation. Please... if I even held his hand he would threaten to kill me.

Neo finally succumbed because he didn't want to die, and time was drawing near. He got into the Gundam.

"That's my seat." Heero said.

Neo just glared at Heero.

"Okay, take it." Heero said sitting in the left seat. Neo moved the lever and away they went.

Wufei just watched as Heero flew away in Wing Zero. He started to slowly walk toward his gundam when he heard something through his intercom.

"Hello! Is anyone down there anymore?! Hello?! Any of you stupid otokos?!" he heard a voice shout.

Wufei stood completely dumbfounded. Then he ran to Nataku. "Mingh Loh!" he shouted through the intercom.

"It's about time!" Mingh Loh shouted. "Where did you land?!"

Wufei gave her the coordinates.

He looked up at the sky, and soon saw Mingh Loh's Nataku coming.

When she landed she opened her door. "Is Neo alright?!"

Wufei ran up to her. "Onna! You can never, ever come with me in a Gundam again, do you hear me?!"

"What's wrong with you?" she asked.

Wufei looked at her. "Onna, how did you survive?!"

"Mingh Loh put her hands on her hips. "Don't you remember?! The icicles dad!"

Wufei thought about it for a second. "That's right, I did teach you that trick!"

Mingh Loh looked at her father cross. "You haven't answered me! Is Neo alright?"

Wufei looked at his daughter and smiled. "Yes, now get back in your Gundam. It's time to go home."

Wufei and Mingh Loh both got into their Gundams and pushed their levers.
