**************

 Serena Usagi stared in the eyes of Li Tsu.  She was losing hope

within herself and just wanted this over with and die.  She

hurt so much all over that her whole body was numbed with pain.

 "Are you ready now little Usagi? Will you join Oz and help us to

capture or kill off the pilots and capture Relena Peacecraft

as well?"Li Tsu asked.

 (The...pilots? The Gundam Pilots?...Heero, Trowa, Quatre, Wufei, and

Duo. And Peacecraft? That baka Relena? Capture her? Didn't I sacrfice

myself to save her? It...it was one of my missions to help protect

that baka Relena! I...I remember that..)Serena said to herself as she

started to struggle to remember more within herself and her eyes

flashed with a bit of defiance and rememberance as a glint went through

her eyes.

 (Was that...a flash of her remembering and keeping herself in tact?)

 Li Tsu narrowed his eyes as he saw a spark of her old self show up

again. Lt. Tsu let go of Serena's chin and stepped back to await

her decision.

 Serena bowed her head as she tried to grasped ahold of her old self

and struggled to find and strengthen herself to help keep her from

turning to Oz.

 "Don't you dare fight it Serena Usagi! Don't! It is of no use!

Just join Oz and get this over with. Fighting Oz in your condition

is only harming yourself.  Give up your loyalty for

the enemies," Li Tsu commanded and warned.

 (The enemies? Is he talking about the Gundams?)Serena Usagi asked

herself.

 "I'm warning you...if you keep this up, you will only cause more

pain to yourself,"Tsu warned.

 (I'm a Gundam Pilot...and I can't..let the..enemies win.  They

are the enemies, not the Gundams.  We're fighting for the

Colonies and Earth.  We're fighting Oz. And my mission...my

mission is...)Serena struggled within herself and started to

raise her head up to face Li Tsu.

 "My mission is...to annihilate the ones who read those files

from Oz and the one who knows about me; also to not let Oz win.

You, Li Tsu, is the one who read those documents on the Gundams

and the pilots.  Tanis Khushrenada knows about me from the past.

Both you and him will be killed by the time I get out of here. 

I have never failed to accomplish a mission and I will not start now.

I will never join Oz!" Serena managed to say and bowed her head once

again.

 Li Tsu didn't say anything for awhile and just started for the

door. As he got close to the door, it opened and five soldiers

stepped through.

 "You're only making this harder on yourself little Usagi. I've

warned you,"Lt. Tsu said as he gazed back at her.

 Tsu turned to the five guards.

 "Give her the next punishment and the one after that. Once done....

we'll see about what to do next,"ordered Tsu and strode out of the

cell and the door closed.

 (What will happen now?)Serena Usagi asked herself.

 The five Oz soldiers stepped closer to the captured victim.  Two

were women and three men.  All had set expressions of indifference

on their faces as Serena managed to raise her head a little bit.

Slowly she reverted back to Moon into as much as she can.

 But then as she kept her gaze locked onto the five guards, a wave

of dizziness spread through her body and she bent her head once

again.

 (The last beating had me...but I must be strong...)Moon said

to herself as she once again attempted to keep her head up but

failed.

 The five soldiers came closer and stoped in front of her.  Moon

finally managed to get her head up and stared up at their

faces but saw nothing that she could figure out what they would

do to her next.

 (What now?)Moon asked herself.

 As they got closer still, her head fell once again but this

time she lost consciousness and everything went black.

******************

 Quatre piloted Sandrock with Relena inside.  He contemplated

with himself about where he could take the pacifism girl.

 Suddenly a beeping sound rang inside and Quatre automatically

pressed a few buttons and the vid screen popped up showing the

face of Dr. J.

 "04 I see that you and the others were able to rescue Relena

Peacecraft.  You may take her to our base.  It's located near

the Peacecraft Academy and the park.  It will appear to be a

small shack,"Dr. J said.

 Quatre nodded in gratitude.

 "Another thing...have you and the others administered the

retrieval of 06?"Dr. J inquired.

 "No, we haven't,"Quatre uttered.

 Dr. J nodded and shut off the link with Sandrock.

 Once the communication ended, 04 grasped the controller and steered

Sandrock to the direction of the base.

 As soon as they got there, Quatre got out followed by Relena. A

small building stood there that was worn down and battered.

 Quatre gazed momentarily at the ruined establishment and

went inside. The place looked a mess as it was filled with gathering

webs and dusts all over.  Relena halted for a moment at the

doorway before mustering up the courage to go in as well. Together

the two explored the grounds and conclusively arrived at another

room. 

 They stared at the small room that seemed to have held a prescence

in there, it didn't seem to be as dusty as the others and the desk

seemed to have been used.  The two stayed there for awhile and then

a small whirring sound intruded the silence that filled the room only

moments ago.

 Quatre and Relena stared at the desk as it went down and now

replaced by a dark stairway. 

 "I guess we go in,"Quatre suggested and went down.

 Relena covered her mouth in shock at the display that happened

and followed hesitantly.

 As the two of them reached the bottom, they were being inspected

by six scientists.  Quatre knew them but Relena only knew one

out of the batch.

 "It's a pleasure to meet you again 04,"the six of them greeted.

 Quatre nodded in greeting.

 "As you know Relena Peacecraft, Oz is after you and you can't

possibly go back to the Academy and stay there.  Therefore, you

can stay here till the whole ordeal is over,"Dr. J told the

girl.

 "Thank you,"Relena said with appreciation.

 Out of the corner of Quatre's eye, he saw a figure standing in the shadows

from the hallway. The other scientists noticed this as well.

 "Hotaru, you may come out of there,"Dr. M called.

 "Hotaru?"Quatre voiced out.

 "Yes, Hotaru Tomoe.  She is staying here as well,"Dr. M said.

 Hotaru came out from the shadows and walked up to them in quiet

reserve. She stared at the scientists first and nodded to them

in greeting and then at the two new people in the room. She heard

everything that went on, ever since the two of them came in.

 "You are Gundam Pilot 04?"Hotaru inquired and stated.

 "Yes, I am,"Quatre answered in a kind, courteous voice.

 Hotaru nodded in acceptance then turned to Relena.

 She gazed up at the young woman for a moment.

 "You are Relena Peacecraft?"Hotaru half stated and half questioned.

 "I am she.  How do you do?"Relena nodded and asked.

 (She is the one who kept the pilots from rescuing Moon.  She

may be important to the society but not to me.  She is

not worth my time if she is near death.)Hotaru muttered inside

her head.

 Hotaru didn't say anything more but turned around and faced 04

again.

 "Have you and the others rescued 06?"Hotaru asked Quatre.

 "I'm afraid not.  Speaking of which, I better go back there

and help out,"Quatre replied to.

 As Quatre climbed back up the steps, Hotaru gazed up at him in

silence.

 "Let me go with him, Dr. M.  I could help out too.  I can be

useful to Moon,"Hotaru requested.

 "I can't allow you that.  It would be more suitable if you

stayed here where it's safe and we are sure of where you

are at the moment.  You'll have to wait till they retrieve

Moon,"Dr. M protested.

 Hotaru sighed inwardly and gazed back at Quatre's retreating

figure.

 "Please 04. Please, get her back here safely.  She saved

my life and I owe her one.  If..no, no when you get Moon back,

take her to the base,"Hotaru requested.

 Quatre nodded to her direction and continued up the stairs until

finally he was out of sight and the desk was back up there and

in place.

 Hotaru sighed and closed her eyes for a moment.

 "Thank you.."Hotaru whispered and turned around and went back

to her bed chamber, ignoring Relena Peacecraft.

***********************

 The three pilots:  01, 02, and 03 were back where they were

earlier on as they peeked at the mansion from the bushes.

 "She could be anywhere inside there,"Duo commented.

 "We'll just have to search carefully,"Heero told him.

 "So what should we do then?"Trowa asked.

 "There must be a whole lot of guards there, obviously

enough,"Duo said.

 "All we need to do is find Serena and get her out and then

destroy that place.  Tsu should be in there at the moment

and if not, then at least we got Serena out of there,"Heero said.

 "Soldier boy is showing some feeling!"Duo teased.

 "Grrr...quit it Duo,"Heero growled.

 "So we find Serena and get her out. How do we do

that?"Duo changed the topic.

 "We need to keep low profile, that's for sure,"Heero said.

 Trowa peeked from the bushes and thought awhile as well

as the others who followed example.

 "Dress up in their uniforms,"Trowa stated.

 "We just need to get three of those guards from their posts

and steal their clothing and go in.  We'll be less

noticeable and blend in,"Duo said.

 They nodded.

 "Then we go inside and find her together.  We'll meet

back up over here once we get our uniforms,"Trowa added.

 "Okay, so let's get to it,"Heero stated in monotone.

 All three of them agreed and went off to start their plan by getting

their garments.

 **************

 "We were close in getting her, sir,"Li Tsu reported.

 "Really?"Tanis asked unbelievingly as he turned his head from the

window when he was staring up at the crescent moon.

 The two were currently in the office of Tanis Khushrenada, alone.

 "Yes, sir. She was starting to lose hope and was on the

verge of giving up.  However, at the last moment she was starting

to show her old self and fell back toward her loyalty

to the enemies,"Li Tsu informed.

 "I see.."Tanis slowly said,"what became of 06?"

 "I gave her the next two punishments and after that..well,

we'll see,"Li Tsu answered.

 "I hope that these 'treatments' will work,"Tanis said.

 "They must, we were close,"Li Tsu said.

 "It better..."Tanis said a bit doubtfully.

 "Yes sir,"Li Tsu nodded.

 "Good, you may go,"Tanis said.

 Li Tsu saluted and started for the door.

 "I will be visiting her later on after those punishments

are over with,"Tanis included in.

 "Yes sir,"Lt. Tsu nodded and strode through the door.

 

***************

 Soon, the three pilots were able to get their hands onto

Oz uniforms and were ready to go. They met up where they

were before and conversed with each other before going inside.

 "Okay, we're ready,"Duo said.

 "Act normal and don't let anyone think you're too

suspicious,"Heero reminded.

 "We know that already, we're not dense,"Duo said.

 Heero nodded his head, ignoring what he said.

 Trowa was just silent.

 "Should we split up inside or what?"Duo asked.

 "If we split up, we may get captured more

easily or not get away in time when the others

come,"Trowa voiced out.

 "Hmmm..."Heero said.

 "It's best if we do this together,"Duo said.

 "If we're together it's a less chance of getting captured

easily. Plus, if we see Moon and she's unable to walk

then we can help carry and watch out for each other's

backs,"Trowa nodded in agreement.

 "Okay, settled then.  We go together,"Heero nodded.

 "Alright then.  Come on!"Duo exclaimed but not too loudly.

 The other two nodded and walked out of the bushes and toward

the mansion, as they were getting ready to set their plan to

work.

******************

 Quatre maneuvered his gundam to the ground and beside

Shenlong/Nataku. Wufei was inside his gundam as he put communication

to him.

 "So what's the plan?"Quatre asked.

 "Wait till the others come out with Serena,"Wufei answered.

 "I see that you got rid of that onna,"Wufei replied through the

vid screen they had between them.

 "Yeah, I dropped her over at another base with the scientists,"Quatre answered.

 Wufei nodded.

 "So we just wait now...I guess,"Quatre said and Wufei nodded again.

 With that, they cut off the link and just waited.

 (Hurry you guys...hurry)Quatre said hopefully within his mind.

******************

 Tanis's footsteps echoed through the silent corridors as he made

his way with Li Tsu to the cell block that held the 06 pilot of the

Lunarian Moon.

 "She is a bit beaten and bruised by now.  It's not exactly

a good sight compared with before,"Li Tsu included in.

 "I would expect that,"Tanis answered calmly as they stopped in

front of the door.

 Four guards guarded the cell block and saluted to the two of them

before letting them in.

 "Wait outside,"Tanis ordered.

 Li Tsu complied and stayed behind while Tanis Khushrenada entered

alone.  No one was there now, just the lone figure on the chair

in front of him in the middle of the room.

 (She looks a mess...a horrible sight.)Tanis said to himself as he

took in the sight that met his eyes.

 

 There on the chair in front of Tanis Khushrenada is Serena Usagi

Tsukino. Tanis strode forward and bent down to be on level with the

06 pilot.

 "Are you ready to give up now?"Tanis asked softly.

 There was no response.

 Tanis narrowed his eyes in a bit of confusion and wonder. For a moment

he waited in the eerie silence and then lifted up her chin. As he did

his eyes met what he thought all along. He bent his head and debated

on what to do and then got up. He straightened up and went toward the

door and opened it and closed it behind him.

 "Let's go,"Tanis said and walked down the corridor followed by a

confused Lt. Tsu.

 "Uhmm...if I may ask.  What happened in there?"asked Lt. Tsu.

 "Nothing to talk about,"Tanis said with indifference.

 Tsu didn't say anything but just nodded and wondered to himself.

 The four guards were left behind and stood guarding the cell door.

****************

  01, 02, and 03 walked in an orderly fashion down the hallway and

made it seem as if everything was normal. At each door they paused and

saw if Serena was in there but so far nothing.

 (Where could she be in this maze?)Heero wondered.

 A huge time passed but the three of them had no luck on where she

could be.

 "We've looked upstairs and the level floor.  The only one

left now, is downstairs.  She has to be there,"Duo whispered.

 The two others nodded in agreement and went off down the stairs.

 (She has to be there alright..it's the only place left.)Heero

said with a bit of hope and confidence.

 The three assassins reached the bottom level and strode down

the dimly lit hallway. For awhile they met nothing

but a few guards but that was all, as they passed them with

no trouble.  Then they stopped.  There on one of the cell blocks

were four guards who stood beside the entrance of one of the doors.

 "That has to be it,"Heero said in a low tone.

 "It has to be, it's closely guarded by four soldiers,"Duo agreed.

 Together, the three made their way to the guards.

 "We'll take over from here. You should catch some rest.  At least

three of you should,"Trowa stated.

 Three of them nodded in agreement while one of them stayed behind.

As soon as the other guards left and practically every guard

were gone.  The three pilots nodded to one another and Heero went

forward to open the door.

 "Hey! You can't do that!"protested the fourth guard.

 Trowa reacted quickly and punched the fourth soldier and rendered

him unconscious.

 Heero opened the cell door and stepped inside. Duo followed suit

and so did Trowa.  What met them made their eyes widen a bit.

 "We found her,"Heero softly muttered.

 "She doesn't look good,"Duo shook his head in disbelief.

 Heero quickly strode toward the captive and bent down in concern.

He untied the bounds that held her and went in front of her and

lifted her chin up gently. Heero moved the few strands of hair

that covered her face and gazed into her face. 

 "Is she...?"Duo asked softly.

 Heero shook his head in response.

 "I really don't know. She needs a doctor and quickly,"Heero replied

in monotone.

 "Let's get her out of here before any of the guards come,"Trowa

said.

 "Right,"Duo nodded.

 Heero swiftly carried the young girl into his arms and walked out of

the cell door.

 "Soon..this will all be over,"Heero whispered to Serena as he gazed

at her with concern and other emotions.

 "All we have to do now is get her out of here and get Wufei to

blow the place up,"Duo said with confidence.

 As they turned to walk up the stairs, a couple of guards met

them halfway and looked at the girl in Heero's arms.

 "What are you three doing with her?"one of them demanded.

 "Taking her to the infirmary,"Trowa covered up.

 "Why?"another guard demanded.

 "Look at her! She's unconscious! She is not useful if she is

dead!"Duo exclaimed.

 They nodded and let them pass. Once they were gone, Duo smirked

while the other two were unemotional.

 (Fools.)all three of them thought.

 As they neared the exit, more guards met them but this time they

started to run out of there. In the background, shouts and

halts were called out and then shots rang loose in the air.

 "We're almost out of here!"Duo called out.

 They ran faster and finally made it out.

 

******************

 "Mr. Tanis Khushrenada, sir.  There were three people

dressed up as soldiers and took 06 with them,"Lt. Tsu reported.

 "The Gundam pilots..."Tanis hissed.

 "Yes sir, I believe that as well.  They must've figured

out by now where we were and got into the base,"Lt. Tsu nodded.

 "Get the soldiers rounded up and get ready to fight. Get the

hidden mobile dolls and Leos out and attack them.  Attack

them with as many weapons as you can find,"Tanis ordered.

 "Yes sir!"Lt. Tsu saluted and strode out of there.

 (They got Moon...well I doubt she can say much by now...)Tanis

smirked and walked out of the room he was in.

 (I have other matters to take care of...)Tanis added

in and walked out of the door and closed it behind him.

*******************

 "Hey Wufei! It's the guys with Serena Usagi!"Quatre called

out through the communicator.

 Wufei at once maneuvered his Gundam followed by Sandrock to

the mansion.  Wufei began letting loose his "Dragon Fang" at the

large house.

 Out of nowhere, Leos and Mobile Dolls were set off and started

attacking.  Sandrock came in at that time and saw the new

attackers.

 Sandrock took his Twin Heat Blades and sliced through the Mobile

Dolls while Shenlong/Nataku took his Beam Naginata and took out

the Leos.

 Soon both were in an easy fight against their enemies.

 Meanwhile, the three other pilots took the young assassin to

the other Gundams that were hidden.

 "Okay, we're here,"Trowa announced.

 Suddenly the Mobile Dolls and the Leos were vanquished. Sandrock and

Shenlong/Nataku were left and aimed their weapons at the mansion and

blasted it.  The whole building collapsed at the spot but not before

a shuttle went off and out of sight.

 Heero gave Serena to Trowa and turned on the communicator.

 "Leave it. We need to get 06 treated,"Heero said.

 Shenlong/Nataku and Sandrock strode forward to the area again.

 "I'll lead the way to where she can go,"Quatre replied.

 Heero took Serena back from Trowa and got on his Gundam.  The others

followed suit and soon the five Gundams and their pilots went off

to follow Quatre.

 (You're back and safe, Usagi.)Heero said in his mind as he

glimpsed at her.

 

*******************

 The shuttle went off and left the mansion before it got hit by

the attack from the two Gundams.

 "Those pilots almost got me,"muttered Tanis as he saw the blast

and made the building collapse.

 (I am not that easy to defeat G-pilots...)Tanis said in his head.

 A soldier went over and beside the seat that Tanis occupied.

 "Where to?"the soldier asked.

 For a moment there was silence.

 "To outerspace on the Moon's base,"Tanis stated.

 "But sir...the base hasn't been occupied for a long

time.  Are you sure?"the soldier asked.

 "I am sure! Don't question me again!"Tanis exclaimed with fiery eyes.

 "Yes sir!" the soldier saluted and went off.

*********************

 Inside at the bottom of the mansion a groan sounded out and then

pieces of broken wood and plaster moved aside.  Li Tsu coughed and

got out from under the ruins.

 "Those Gundams almost got me,"groaned Tsu,"I will get my

revenge on them! I will!"

 Tsu stood up and looked at the place over and then made his

way out from the confines he was in at the moment.

 

To be continued....

*******************

 There! There's Chapter 7!  Hope you liked it! ^_^ Finally, ne?

So, Moon is finally saved! Yey! And Tanis and Tsu are still alive!

Ahh!!
