"Tests?"
Quatre looked at Heero quizzically. Hadn't he heard a word this guy just said.
"Yes, tests Mr. Yuy. It may seem odd but in doing so, I can spare your life for a couple of more hours."
"Ah, I see…" Heero said standing up and walking over to Lieutenant Craft.
"Where's the Princess?!" Quatre demanded.
Craft looked at Quatre oddly and Quatre felt a pain in his gut telling him this guy was no good.
"Oh, you must mean Releena. She's not on this base, but in her home."
"I don't believe you! Releena would never give such orders! Who are you anway!?"
"I told you boy, my name is Lieutenant Craft…"
Heero silenced Craft when he raised his hand.
"Let's hurry and get this over with." Heero stated.
Craft nodded his head and walked ahead of the Gundam Pilots, leading them out of the room and down the hall.
Heero looked back at Quatre when he felt him glaring at him.
"Heero…" he whispered. "What are you doing?"
"I'm gonna find out what this guy is really up to…" Heero stated.
"Do you think what he said about Releena is true?"
"Of course not! Something's going on, and I'm gonna find out what."
Quatre grew quiet and knew Heero had his head in the right place.
"Mind, telling me what you were just discussing?" Craft asked casually.
"No." Heero stated just as casually.
"Why are you being so nice to us? I mean you do realize we can kill you in the blink of an eye…" Quatre began.
"Because I believe you Gundam Pilots, are the ultimate Soldiers. It is hard for me to think that I have to kill you guys, but my Releena gave me orders. For now do not try anything, besides I know you won't till you find out what I'm up to…" Craft stated, smirking slightly.
Heero frowned.
All of a sudden, Heero felt a sharp pain in his arm, and looked to his side just in time to see a woman take a needle from his arm. He looked back to see Quatre passed out, another woman injecting him with something again.
"Hey!" Heero began turning towards her, but stopped when he felt lightheaded.
The Gundam Pilot fell with a loud thud to the ground. The woman, who had injected him with something the first time, bent down, checked him for a pulse and injected him again with the same item.
"There, it's done Lieutenant Craft." She stated standing up.
Craft smiled wickedly and gave a signal with his hand. Soon enough a bunch of Soldiers came forth and Craft gave them orders to carry these Gundam Pilots to the medical room.
One Soldier asked, "Sir, why'd you do that for?"
"They were catching on too quickly…" Craft turned to the Soldier and gave him a menacing glare. "…and next time don't ask of nothing that is none of your concern. You're not on a need to know bases Soldier! You do as I say!"
The Soldier quickly saluted him. "Yes Sir!"
Craft turned around and began walking away.
"Have the G-Pilots put into the tanks and run the tests from there. They should be awake in about 1 hour or less…"
As the Soldier began, walking away Craft stopped him.
"And don't disturb me or my new blushing bride. Miss Peacecraft is still in my bunker isn't she?"
"Yes sir."
"Good. Now go on." Craft stated walking off.
The Soldier looked oddly at his Lieutenant's back. "Why would he want such a young girl. I wonder what he told her. I wonder what he told those pilots…"

Releena sat quietly in the chair. She was free to walk around but chose not to. The only restraints she had on her were the ropes that tied her hands together. She sighed heavily.
"Why would Heero do such a thing…?" Releena sniffled as she felt the tears beginning again.
"…now my knight is never gonna come and save me…"
Releena could not help but start sobbing again as the words told to her by that man, Lieutenant Craft, came back to her.
"He's dead princess…"
Releena felt her heart sink. "Dead? What do you mean?!"
Lieutenant Craft put a sympathetic hand on Releena's shoulder. "Heero Yuy, died… was killed in battle. He was attacking your kingdom Princess. I had to kill him…"
Releena was in shock. 'My Heero… no… he wouldn't…'
Releena backed up from Craft and glared at him. "I did not give you orders to attack. I had no idea my Kingdom was being, attacked! Why didn't you inform me first!?"
"There wasn't enough time princess…"
"I hired you to protect my Kingdom Lieutenant Craft! Not to kill my friends! Why didn't Noin inform me on this!?"
"She's away princess, remember? I'm taking her place till she comes back."
"Well! Get Lieutenant Noin on the receiver right now! I want her back here immediately! And you are to leave right now!"
"Princess, please try and understand… Zero one's pilot was attacking your Kingdom! It is my duty to protect you against anyone or anything! No matter who they are!"
"Heero…? Heero would never attack my kingdom without just cause! I don't believe you!"
"It's your choice princess…" Craft stated walking out of the room and leaving Releena alone, shutting the door behind him.
She slowly sank to the floor and felt the tears roll down her cheeks… "HEERO!!!!!!"
Shortly after, Craft and some other Soldiers ambushed Releena while she was in her office.
"What are you doing?!" Releena screamed, struggling against the Soldiers that held her down.
Craft smiled wickedly at Releena, almost seductively. "Hello beautiful Princess. It is time to make you mine…"
Releena's eyes widened a bit, mostly in fear. "Wh-what are you talking about?!" her voice cracked.
Craft smirked at Releena and walked closer to her. He bought his hand up and stroked her cheek gently. "I've arranged a marriage Releena… our marriage." He stated.
"What!? You're crazy! What's going on!?" Releena screamed fighting with all her might against the Soldiers that held her.
"Sshhh. Calm down Princess… everything will be fine…" Craft cooed.
"Hey!! Let me go…"
Soon Releena felt pressure on the back of her neck and everything went black…
"Oh, Heero, how could you? Now look what happened." Releena sobbed.
"I'm just gonna have to get out of this one myself then… that SOB Craft, isn't gonna get away with this!" Releena declared looking around the oddly large bunker. She spotted a gun lying on the bed a couple of feet away from her. She stood and walked over to it and tired to pick it up but her expertly bound hands, didn't allow her to.
"Damn… now what?" Just then Releena heard footsteps nearing the door and she froze…scared.
