Author's Notes: In the last chapter well I figured all of the Gundam Pilots have training on how to resist torture.
Lucrezia Noin was in the back seat with Quatre and Trowa was driving, Trowa and Quatre had steadfastly refused to let Duo drive. Wufei, Duo and Sally were in the other car who had both refused to let Duo drive.
Duo was pouting in the back seat as Quatre put his hand on Noin's shoulder "Are you all right?"
Noin nodded "I'm just wondering about Heero?"
Quatre sighed and Trowa spoke for him "They will be anxious to know of our informant who told us where the Gundanium was. They'll do anything to extract the information...including torture."
Noin closed her eyes as they continued towards their destination.
Later
They arrived at their destination as they hid their cars they approached the building which was formerly an OZ mobile suit factory supposedly abandoned.
Duo scaled up to the roof through an window, put on his Thermal Goggles and checked around no one was here.
So far so good. Duo thought as he sneaked through the corridors, so far he saw no sentries the security seemed somewhat lax. Duo really didn't like this. Lady Une did say something about a leak Heero, Quatre and Noin got ambushed. Heero got captured...Seems like these jerks know every move we make before we make it.
Duo frowned and shook his head, he needed to stay focused on finding Heero. If they tortured him and the way Quatre described those wounds he might need help.
Duo then went to the stairwell, he saw one guard Duo crept up to him and before the guard could react; Duo cracked him over the head but Duo caught him before he could make a noise, dragged the unconscious man into an empty office behind a desk.
Duo sighed he can't make too much racket until he finds Heero...
Heero pulled viciously at the leather strap but then Wong entered the room seeing that Heero was loosening the strap, pulling out a knife and rushed towards Heero. However tears his arm out of the strap, sharply grabs Wong's wrist and head butts Wong.
Heero promptly takes the knife from Wong and cut at the rest of his restraints.
Wong lay dazed at the floor reached for his gun but Heero throws the knife piercing Wong's wind pipe before Wong drew his weapon.
Heero still felt the pain from his wrist and his other injuries both from his gun shot wounds and the torture but Heero shook himself takes Wong's gun and heads for the door.
Heero then heard an alarm...
"Shit!" Duo cursed as he heard the alarm go off.
I can't be losing my touch can't I? Duo wondered, he already got through that window, he already knocked the two guards and he sure he didn't make any kind of racket in either case.
Bingo! Duo thought as he saw a...surveillance camera! Their intelligence said there wasn't supposed to be cameras on this floor.
Forget it! What matters is Heero! Duo thought as he went down the stairs.
From Q and Noin told me he was pretty shot up and who knows what they've been doing to him.
Silverberg watched Maxwell on his screen, their leak had told them everything! Including the frequency and also gave them something else...
...It had taken him some practice and he also patched into the frequency.
"This is Duo, its okay to go in. I've found Heero! I'm getting him out now!"
Sally's radio came into life it was their frequency and the voice was...Duo's!
"This is Duo, its okay to go in. I've found Heero! I'm getting him out now!"
Noin smiled, Heero was alive!
"Okay, we're going in!"
Duo looked over the stairs in horror!
They're going in! I never called in!
Duo took his radio out of his belt "What are you DOING!? I haven't called in!"
Wufei's voice came in "Yes, you did! You said you found Heero!"
Duo shook his head "No!"
Wufei sounded confused "He sounded like you...What!?-"
Duo heard gunfire as contact was broken.
Crap! I've got to help them!?
Duo drew out his gun as four guards came in taken refuge behind a corner, he fired at them he was able to kill all four of them.
Heero ran through the corridors wearing only a pair of trousers he stole from a guard. Heero was just on the factory floor he did not know his way out, he gasped as he looked out the office window he was at which overlooked the factory floor.
NO! He thought as he saw Noin, Quatre, Trowa, Wufei and Sally they were taking refuge behind a computer terminal, those snipers have them pinned down.
Heero knew he had to act, he smashed the window and fired his gun at them killing several of the snipers from his position.
The others were able to get away but then Heero was grabbed but barely wrestled him off, it was another guard and Heero threw him out the window but 20 others came in but Heero fought them off as they came but it was difficult in his current condition.
Heero was gasping in pain from recent wounds and was wobbly on his feet. Pain from the injuries from the gunshots and his tortures were now burning with pain.
But then right ahead he saw Menshikov with a pistol in his hand wasting no words and neither did Heero, a gunshots rang out...and Menshikov came crashing to the ground.
Noin went down the corridor with Trowa and Quatre behind her. It was a few minutes since someone had taken out those snipers.
Could it have been...? Her thoughts were interrupted as she saw someone.
"Heero!"
Heero turned around and he saw Noin running, when she was there she held him steady.
"Lucrezia?" Heero asked looking up to see her face.
"Yes." Noin nodded stroking his hair and she saw blood on her fingers.
Noin looked at him there were bandages on his side, chest and abdomen. She could Blood oozing out of them, there were quite a few bruises and Noin had no way of determining the full extent of Heero's injuries.
Quatre and Trowa caught up with Noin, they both looked at Heero and then at each other. All three of them silently agreed that Heero needed immediate medical attention.
"Heero can you walk?" Asked Quatre concerned wondering if Heero can walk at all in his condition.
Heero nodded but was still shaky on his feet.
Quatre's radio came to life "Yes?"
"Its Sally have you found Heero?"
"Yes, we have but he has sustained serious injuries we're getting him out of here. What's your situation?"
"We're with Duo, we have just found the mobile suit it looks like...Its Silverberg!" Sally's voice was alarmed. Then they heard gunfire and what sounds like a...takeoff!
All three of them saw Silverberg enter the cockpit of the Gundam he was initiating start up sequence and it was taking off.
"Shit!" cursed Duo.
"Its taking off, we had better-" Wufei began...
...But was cut off by Sally barking into her radio "Get out of there now! Its launching!" Sally immediately turned off her, headed for the door and gesturing for Duo and Wufei to come on.
They promptly bolted out of the door.
The Gundam Tsunami launched out of the launch doors and Silverberg activated the targeting system.
Tsunami fired its vulcan cannon's spraying the entire structure with shell.
"Target locked...firing!"
Tsunami promptly fires a missile and there was an explosion!
