Ch. 2
"Heero. Heero this is Duo, if you’re there please pick up. OK man I am worried about Hilde now. I got this letter saying she hates me now, but the weirdest thing is I found it stuck to Deathscythe. Of course I looked over the gundam, but nothing seemed out of order. Well, I will go now, but I need to talk to you," Duo’s frightened voice left the answering machine.
Heero came in just in time to hear the answering machine go off. He was in shock; someone managed to get near his Gundam. No one ever touched Wing Zero, not to mention leaving a puzzling note. "Don’t think about Relena anymore. She hates you Heero Yuy."
Heero went over and hit play listening to Duo’s message. ‘Something is wrong here,’ Heero thought as he grabbed his jacket and headed to the Preventor’s station to talk to Lady Une.
When he got there Wufei, Quatre, Trowa, and Duo were already in Une’s office.
"What could they possibly want," Quatre asked.
"I don’t know, but who ever is behind this knows that your Gundams were rebuilt," Lady Une responded.
"Or they could have gotten the information from the girls," Heero said in a monotonous voice. No body spoke after this. Thoughts of the girls being tortured ran through their minds.

"Okay, girls just sit back and relax," General Jackson said.
The five girls were lying on benches in a lab room with monitors surrounded them. Each girl was strapped to the bench and they had headphones and a video mask on. The mask ran images through it, which each girl saw individually.
Sergeant Steel went around to each girl and gave her each two shots. The first one was used to relax them, because each girl proved to be an excellent fighter when they were put on the benches. The second shot would be used to block any unnecessary memories such as their family and boyfriends, and to help them retain what they were about to see and hear.
This happened to be their third and final session. After this, they wouldn’t recall any of the former Gundam Pilots, except what they would be taught. They would also know basic fighting moves, basic control of a Gundam, and intense patience.
After about two hours Sergeant Steel began to take off the girls’ headgear. Each girl looked tired. Jackson followed Steel and took off the restraints that held the girls.
"How are you feeling?" General Jackson asked.
"Tired," Catherine said wearily.
"Oi! My head kills!" Hilde said.
"You two are weak!" Sally responded. She folded her arms trying to cover up her own feelings of exhaustion. Relena just glared at the General and Dorothy had a blank expression.
"Well, let’s get you girls to your room to rest, then we’ll get you to the gym to start your physical training." He herded the girls out of the lab and down the hallway to their common room.
Two hours later the girls were awaken. They were taken down to the base’s gym. There they met up with General Jackson and Doctor Coopers.
"Now is the start of your physical training. Listen to Doctor Coopers, he will make you girls physically able to fight for OZ." General Jackson left the five girls with a young very, very physically fit man.
"Awww, man. This sucks," Hilde whined.
"Come on Schbeicher don’t be a wuss," Sally commented.
"Come on guys, let’s just do our best."
"Ms. Bloom, you will do better than your best. I will expect 210% effort. Now enough talk. You will start with five laps around the gym, then we will see what each of you can do to help our organization," Doctor Coopers said. At this the five girls took off.

Each girl had her own vigorous training she had to under go for the next three months. The train all depended on the area of expertise each girl seemed to possess, and then they were trained extensively on this ability. Relena and Sally trained in arms. Each had a great aim with weapons and worked well with explosives. Hilde was an excellent hacker. Dorothy was also good with computers and would help Hilde with any missions that involved electronics. Catherine proved to move very lightly and was able to get into any area she tried to. She also had amazing accuracy with her deadly knives. This would make her the one who would go on spy or retrieving missions.
General Jackson was very pleased with the progress these five girls were making. The only thing that disappointed him was how much the girls were acting like their former counterpart, but that was to be expected considering how much time they had spent in each other’s company. He dismissed this minor problem, because their amazon ability would help OZ take over and there was nothing the Gundam pilots could do. ‘After all, they couldn’t kill the ones they loved, now could they?’ General Jackson began to laugh to himself.
