Chapter 3
Quatre was in Sandrock, Trowa in Heavyarms, Loryn in her Gundam
Wingshade, and Savannah in her Gundam _________.
"Loryn, how far are we?" Trowa asked the brunette.
"At least fifth-teen minutes away."
"Ok. Exactly what are we up against. I know by your reaction that it is
not a normal thing. Well aliens in general are not normal."
Loryn was silent.
"Loryn, what are we up against?"
"Well I don't want you to get worried."
"I won't. I've been through allot of things."
"Nothing like this."
"Fine, you don't have to tell me." Trowa tried reverse psychology.
"I guess I do owe you an explanation."
"Thank you."
"You see, the creature you saw on the Tv was just the pets of these
aliens. And the pets are about as smart as us."
"Ick. But I figure if we have enough fire power we can defeat them,
right?"
Trowa heard a click and the transmission was ended.
"Ship at three o'clock." Savannah told them. "Ready?"
The four Gundams put on there cloaking shields and landed on a helicopter
pad. Each got out and held there guns at ready. They each had a different
outfit on.
Loryn had a tight green suit. Legs covered and arms bare. She had on the
same color boots.
Quatre wore a space suit. (The kind they wore the last few episodes.)
Trowa was attired in the same.
Savannah was clad in a tight blue-green suit. The top sleeveless and the
bottom shorts. She had on a pair of thigh high boots the same color.
"Let's head out!" Loryn commanded.
The four sneaked into the ship with no fault. But what lay ahead may
not be so easy. "Enemy straight ahead!" Savannah shouted.
Trowa and Savannah hid on one side of the wall and Quatre and Loryn on
the other.
They watched as the creature came into view, followed by eight others.
"We each get three." Savannnah whispered.
Gunfire was heard and all were dead.
"See that wasn't so bad." Quatre told Loryn.
"It gets worse."
The gang again headed towards the command deck. That was where they
could talk with the people in charge.
Savannah detected another set of enemies not far ahead.
"How about me and Trowa head off to kill these, and you and Quatre keep
heading for the command room." She told Loryn.
"Roger." Loryn and Quatre took off forward, while Trowa and Savannah
took a right down a narrow corridor.
Trowa watched closely for any sign of the enemy. He saw Savannah sneak
behind the nook in the wall and followed.
"What?" he asked her.
"These aren't the same ones we encountered earlier. These are the actual
aliens."
"I thought they were all aliens." Trowa remarked.
"Shut-up." Savannah playfully pushed him in the arm.
Both listened intently for any sound. Nothing, total silence.
Trowa peeked over the corner and saw nothing. "Cost is clear."
"I don't think so. My scanner says that they are there. They must have
some kind of cloaking device."
Before anything else could be said, Savannah was lifted up into the air
and hauled over and invisible shoulder. Trowa lunged for Savannah, grabbed
her, slung her over his shoulder, and ran for his life.
Loryn aimed her gun around the corner. "Nothing. Let's go." she motioned
for Quatre.
"Where exactly is the command room?"
"Somewhere up ahead."
"Good."
They walked in silence until they came upon a huge metal door.
"This must be it." Quatre said.
"Right, let's go."
The door slammed open to reveal five of the creatures. Quatre took
Loryn's hand and started to run, but was stopped by a voice.
"Wait, I want to talk to you." it said in clear English.
Quatre stopped and turned around to see a different creature.
"Our alien." Loryn whispered to him, sensing his confusion.
"Sit down." the alien commanded.
Quatre and Loryn followed the alien into the command room. Being wary of
the visiuos creatures on ether side of them. Permitting them from escaping.
Loryn sat down in the one seat. Quatre decided to sit on the floor. He
leaned against Loryn's legs for back support.
"My name is George. I come from the planet Histerial. As you might have
guessed we are going to blow up you planet."
"May I interrupt." Quatre asked. "Why?"
"Because, long ago, ten planets chose to impeach ours from the galaxy.
We spent years coming up with the technology to destroy those planets. After
many generation, we have succeeded. Now we shall blow up the last planet that
wanted to Impeach us. We will have revenge." The alien laughed evilly.
Both Loryn and Quatre sweat dropped.
"Umm, sir, is there any way we can get out of this?" Loryn asked.
George stopped his evil laugh and answered, "Why yes, malady, there is.
I gave every planet a chance to get out, and so far none have succeeded."
"What do we have to do?"
"Well it is simple really. The planet picks two people. They come to my
ship. I put them in the maze I built, and they try to find the way out."
"What's the catch?"
"Oh, that my pets are after you the whole way."
Loryn stared wide-eyed at Quatre. He could tell she was scared, so was
he.
"Could you give us a sec. to talk about it?" He asked George.
"Sure. After all, the fate of your planet depends on it." George got up
and went to a Tv screen.
"What do we do?" Quatre whispered to Loryn.
"I don't know! I want to go home, but we can't. My life sucks!" She
started to sob into her hands.
Quatre got onto his knees and took her hands in his.
"Loryn, please listen to me! You can't give up know. Remember, I
promised to protect you."
"Quatre! I don't want to die!" She cried onto his shoulder.
"You won't die!" Quatre commanded.
Loryn looked at his eyes and saw that they were true and sincere.
"Alright. I'll do it." She told him.
"No, we'll do it." He corrected.
George came back over and looked a Loryn. "Your brother needs to talk to
you." He stated simply, pointing to the screen.
"My brother?" Loryn got up and walked over to the screen. "Hello, who are
you?"
Quatre walked up behind her, slipping his arms around her waist and
looking over her shoulder. "Hi Heero."
"This is Heero? A Gundam pilot?"
"Yes."
"Good, where are you?"
"I might ask you the same question sis."
Silence.
"SIS?!" Loryn screamed. As if she didn't have enough problems already.
"Yes, on the way up here I did some research, and found out that you and
I are twins. We where separated at birth."
Loryn was speechless. Here she was finding her brother, and she was
going to die! What kinda joke was this?
"Loryn, it's all right. Calm down." Quatre whispered in her ear.
Loryn took in a deep breath and exhaled. "Ok, where are you?"
"I'm on the launch pad with your Gundams."
"Good. Stay there. Oh," Loryn brought her voice down to a whisper, "try
to find Trowa and Savannah."
"Mission accepted."
Trowa slammed the door shut. He put Savannnah down and looked at their
surroundings.
"What a fun ride! Can I do it again." Savannnah stumbled about for a sec.
She shook her head and was back to normal.
"It appears that we are in some kind of maze room." Trowa observed.
On ether side of the duo were fifty foot high metal walls. Nothing could
get through those things. He hoped.
"Well let's figure this thing out and get out of here."
"Ditto."
George came up behind Quatre and Loryn.
"Was you little chat good-bye nice?" The sarcastic tone was practically
bouncing off the walls in that sentence.
Loryn just stuck out her tongue. Blah!
George turned around with a look of pure hatred on his face. "I'll show
you."
Handcuffs came onto Loryn and Quatre, connecting them with each other.
"Not so easy I will make it!" He again laughed evilly.
Quatre and Loryn were transported to some kind of maze room. The walls
stood fifty feet high on all sides of them.
A loud crashing noise was heard, followed by growls of anger.
"Hurry!" Quatre yelled pulling Loryn behind him.
Heero Yui ended the transmission with his sister. Even though he would
never admit it, he really thought it neat to have a twin sister.
"Heero, ya O.K.?" a gentle voice broke through his train of thought.
"Yeah, Relena, I'm fine."
"Good cause we have to get in there and find Trowa and his friend."
"Right!" He heard Hilde say.
"Let's boogie!" Duo added.
Heero sighed. It would have been allot easier if Duo hadn't brung Hilde
with him and Relena too. Even though she was his wife, she wasn't meant for
battle. Ditto for Hilde. But Duo is Duo, so out of the Gundams they came.
Trowa heard a loud crash and a low growl. Following this was a scream
that sounded like Loryn.
"We have to find them quick." Trowa yelled at Savannah.
"No! We have to get out of here! They can handle themselves!"
"Why?"
"Because I've heard of this kinda thing. The aliens would take two people
from the planet and put them in a maze. The pair had to find their way out
before the creatures got them. Thus there planet be saved. No one has
succeeded yet!"
Trowa thought about this a sec. He then grabbed Savannnah's arm and ran
off in the direction they were originally headed.
'I hope Quatre and Loryn are O.K..' he prayed.
Quatre turned a corner, only to come to a dead end.
"Quatre, what now?" Loryn asked him.
Quatre quickly surveyed the wall.
"What do you think?" Loryn asked him, looking behind her.
"I think we may have an escape." Quatre lifted open a secret door in the
metal wall.
Loryn looked in and saw that it was pitch black. "Do we have too?"
She was pulled inside by Quatre, just as the monsters rounded the corner.
Quatre held Loryn's mouth shut and held his breath. A light came on
beside them.
Both turned to see a pair of neon green eyes looking at them.
One swift look at each other and they were out the door. They plowed
right through the creatures, who seemed to be more interested in the thing
inside the wall than them. Both teens had no problems with that. Behind
them the sound of tearing flesh could be heard.
"Quatre, let's hurry up and get out of here!" Loryn wailed at him.
"I'm going as fast as I can!"
Trowa and Savannah ran into a dead end.
"Crud!" Trowa cursed. "No what?"
Savannah knocked on the metal and found it hollow. "If we can get inside,
we'll be doing good."
"I have a gun, maybe that'll work."
Savannah stepped back and watched as Trowa shot the metal wall a few
times leaving a hole. In the hole papered the eye of one of those creatures.
"AHHH!!" Both screamed and ran the other way.
Trowa looked back and saw that the wall was breaking down. "Hurry up!"
He shouted pushing Savannah faster.
"I'm going as fast as I can!"
After an eternity of running, they came upon a village.
"What the.." Savanah remarked.
"Who cares, we can hide in these huts!" Trowa exclaimed.
The teens ran into the closest one and locked the door.
Savannah sank to the floor. "I'm ready to go home!"
"I know."
Trowa sat down beside her, exhausted. "At least we have a while to rest."
Savannah murmured a 'yes' and leaned on his shoulder. Trowa gently wiped
the red hair from her face. 'She looks just like an angel.' he thought.
He stole a kiss from her strawberry lips and settled down to keep watch.
Quatre and Loryn stood looking at the town. The roads were paved and the
houses huge.
"I know this place, this is my neighborhood." Quatre exclaimed.
"Then let's boogie to your house!" Loryn said taking lead.
A long howl could be heard not far behind them.
The duo ran to the first house they came too. The door was open, but they
took there chances. Quatre shut the door and locked it behind them.
Loryn started to walk around the house but was stopped. She looked at
her left arm and found it bound to Quatre's right.
"Oh yeah, forgot about this." She laughed.
"Well let's find someplace to rest." Quatre said, leading her up the
stairs.
Upstairs was a large bed and looked like it had barley been touched.
Quatre climed in bed and Loryn layed on his chest.
"I'll keep watch." He told her and she drifted off to sleep.
