Starlet: This MIGHT be the last one.

Heero: Might? points gun to head

Starlet: The last one! The last one!

Heero: Better withdraws gun

Starlet: Hey. Isn't it a little TOO quiet? Where'd Duo go? And Hyena Quatra?

Heero: I have no idea.

Starlet: Its just us? slides away from Heero staring suspiciously

Heero: Yep, begins typing

Starlet: Heero, I think you have an obsession with that laptop.

Duo: No kidding. I finished my plan. Listen! holds out recorder, presses play and Wufei's voice comes out

Starlet: You recorded Wufei's voice in the SHOWER?

Heero: He's going to kill you.

Wufei: DUO!

Starlet: Too late.

Disclaimer: They're not mine! Oh well, Enjoy! Oh, and Kat? Try to be quiet when you read this.

Nothing. Absolute nothing. That's how he felt. He felt empty, as if he didn't exist, as if he was just a shell with no soul, purpose or reason. He'd felt this way ever since he became a TRUE Gundam Pilot. With all of the Pilots blood in his body he was the perfect soldier. Not Heero Yuy as some might think, he had the friendliness of Duo that Heero lacked, but still possessed all the ultimate skills needed to complete a mission. 'How to do this?' he wondered silently. With all the pilots in his control he could use the strength they didn't know they had and turn it against them. And with 'The Door of Zeal' open nothing would stop him. He would finally achieve his true desire.

He was here. Heero slid off his motorcycle and removed his helmet. Placing it on his bike he walked forward into the practice hall. He quickly dodged around the security with ease and smiled the show wouldn't start for maybe.10 minutes. That gave him until 12:00pm to find and rescue the others, first he searched the basement and came up with nothing. A search of the roof and the main floor proved useless too. 11:58pm and still nothing. Suddenly voices echoed throughout the hall.

"Miss! You can't go through there!"

"This is an emergency!" A familiar voice shouted. The doors banged open revealing a very flushed Hilde and Catherine.

"Heero!" Catherine shouted.

"Hilde? Catherine? What are you doing here?" Heero said stupefied. They ran down to the front row where he was and showed him the note Hilde had found. Heero took the little piece of paper and looked it over hands trembling. "Where'd you find this?" He demanded.

"Right beside me after some guy tried to knock me out." Hilde said surprised by his anger.

"IDIOT!" He screamed. "This was supposed to lead you here purposely! Now he's got you into the trap too!"

"What?" Catherine shrieked. Suddenly a little beeping sound came out from Hilde's pocket. She took out her hand held computer and looked, suddenly she lost all the color to her face.

"What is it?" Heero said irritably as he looked at his watch. 12:00pm.

"It's, it's-" she stuttered and a cold voice interrupted

"That's right."

"Where the hell am I?" Duo groaned.

"Welcome back Duo." Quatra said staring at his friend. Duo shook his head and looked around. He seemed to be tied up at the moment unable to get free in any way. Suddenly he took in his surroundings and asked,

"Where's Trowa?"

"So you finally found out the truth." The male said grimly. "It's about time too, you took forever." They all spun around and gasped, Hilde and Heero went for their guns while Catherine looked as if she might faint.

"Jonathan" Heero muttered calmly.

"That's right" The boy laughed smiling. He seemed different then before. No longer the jumpy trembling gentle eyed boy they'd met at the hotel room. Now, in front of them was a sharp eyed, calm and sinister man. He had an air of *evil* around him and all sense of positive feelings had vanished.

"But why?" Catherine whispered horrified.

"Revenge" he said simply.

"Revenge?" Hilde repeated dumbly. She seemed at a lost for words before she became enraged and started screaming at him. "How could you? We trusted you Jon!" He smiled an evil grin and just laughed.

"Well, first off I think I should tell you my *real* name. It's Ray Donnas. You really think I would tell you my real name?" He snorted "I chose a name that had a file in the government census system so that you wouldn't be suspicious. It was all really easy at first. Wufei was a fool, he came after me in rage when I shot Sally, taking him down was simple, and Quatra was even easier! One sip of the sleeping weed oil in that tea and he was down for 2 days! Trowa was even easier, he just followed me when I talked to him. Didn't you see the guilt in his eyes? No? Well I suppose you were too stupid. I think everyone should here don't you? Come out Trowa!" Ray shouted to the stage. A curtain shuffled and Trowa stepped out looking miserable.

"Trowa!" Catherine shouted and ran up to the stage "are you all right?" she asked worried.

"I'm fine," He mumbled.

"Why don't you explain what's going on here." Heero said calmly eyes still on Ray. Trowa ran a hand through his hair and sighed.

"First off, where's Duo?" Hilde shouted. At that moment a small figure in black rolled out onto the stage, rolling a little too far it rolled to the edge and fell to the floor with a small thud and an 'ow' "Duo!" Hilde shouted and just like Catherine ran up to him.

"That hurt" Duo said sitting up.

"Duo you Dope! Here let me get you free." She began to try cutting the ropes but nothing she did worked.

"Trowa get the others, I think its time we explain, don't you?" Ray said giving that same evil grin.

"Right," Trowa said sighing with fatigue. Within a few minutes Quatra, Duo and Wufei were sitting on the stage with their arms and legs still tied.

"How's about you get these ropes off and then we can talk?" Duo muttered.

"As you wish" Ray said simply and snapped his fingers. In an instant the ropes vanished and they were able to stand. "However, If you wish to escape." He began and pointed his index finger at the two doors. They snapped shut and locked themselves. "Please, don't try." He finished. Everyone stared at him wide eyed except for Trowa who only looked tired.

"What the hell are you?" Wufei whispered. Ray only laughed and flashed that smile again.

"Don't you know Wufei? Quatra? Duo?" When no one said anything he only smiled again. "You never told them Trowa? Hmpf. I guess you're not as smart as I thought. I suppose I should tell you why I seek revenge from you all. It's very much like a sin. A sin you never even knew of." He paused then took a breath. "It began three years ago. I was a Gundam pilot too. I was only used to gather small bits of information about your targets. I was content with that. The less I had to do with this insane war the better in my opinion. Then the doctors discovered something interesting. When all five pilots blood was combined the enhanced blood merged and became almost 100 times efficient. Naturally they tried it on humans. They first tested it on orphans, the children from the orphanage I lived in. The first one to go was my best friend Jessica. She just vanished one day, and didn't show up for the week. Well, she came back but she was different. I never knew what they'd done to her, her hair was white and falling out, sores broke out over her body and she wouldn't speak to anyone, not even me. She died the next day, I was in shock, naturally they kept taking more from the place until only kids less then 10 years old were left. I was 7 at the time. At first they were going to do me what they had done to others. When one of them thought that it would be better if I trained as a pilot. Them maybe my body would stand a better chance against the concoction. I trained for 7 years as a Pilot. When I turned 14 they couldn't wait anymore. I was called in and the next minute I knew I was strapped down in a medical lab center and being injected with your blood cells. You have no idea how much pain I felt." He stopped for a minute as his eyes went hollow with the pain of the memory. He took a deep breath and continued. "It's like your blood turns to ice, then fire burning white hot and you can't feel anything but that pain. You don't know anything, you even forget your name. Trowa was there at the time they did it. He watched the whole thing, but he didn't do anything. Then in one second it stopped. Just like that, except something was different now, no matter how hard I tried I couldn't feel anything. Nothing. I haven't been able to feel anything since that day except hate." He stopped talking and just looked at them. No one moved, whether it was from shock or just the fear to move was undecided. "Isn't that right Trowa?" Ray said smiling with a sour touch.

"What do you mean?" Quatra whispered horrified.

"I didn't do anything to stop them." Trowa replied bitterly. "you remember when they took all that blood from each of us? It wasn't for a blood test and I knew the real reason. But I still let them do it! I'm just as guilty as them." He said despaired.

"Maybe you should see how I looked after the process was complete." Ray suggested smiling with a look that became more evil as you saw it. He suddenly changed his blond hair to a shimmering silver. It was done up in a thin pony tail that reached his waist. His eyes remained that deep sea green, and his bangs became thin and messy in front of his eyes. Then out from his back came the black wings of an angel. Small black feathers fell as he ruffled them then let them rest at his sides. Smiling with that wicked grin he looked at them. "I understand that even though I survived there were some key abilities I gained."

"Y-you're nothing but a f-frea-freak!" Duo shouted positively spooked.

"We had nothing to do with this." Wufei said protesting.

"Maybe we can help you" Quatra softly and gently urged while he stepped forward. For a second Ray seemed to think on it then shook his head and grinned happily.

"Forget it. You see, I made a deal with someone. You might know him, 'The Dark Lord'. It's simple really, he needs a few more *powerful* souls in his realm. So I send you to his world and I get to return to my normal self. Before I became this freak." He gestured to himself.

"So for sending the Gundam Pilots to death." Hilde began horrified.

"I turn back to normal." He said.

"But why bring us here?" Catherine demanded.

"Why else? Even though they're going to die I want to make them suffer first. I'll kill you two right before them and then after their dead I will make sure they die with the knowledge that I will kill everyone they love. Thereby, their love will now become a curse." He grinned menacingly.

"You're insane!" Wufei screamed. Ray just frowned and snapped his fingers. Rope wound themselves around all 7 of them and they dropped.

"You voice agitates me. Oh well, time to begin." He walked up to the front and began a soft slow humming chant;

"Eroh Erohwhim

Zierra ta Daly

Meta la Sierra de Whi

Nacago re Kna

Door to Zeal! Open and give passage to those unworthy!"

"Oh shit" Duo whispered as he eyed the platinum haired teenager. Heero suddenly felt something wrong in the air. Struggling to his feet he ran up to Ray and tackled him over just as cords of black substance flew right into the spot Ray had been standing.

"What the?" Ray said turning to face Heero, when he noticed those cords he went pale. "Death string. when mortals touch them they die in minutes." He said horrified.

"Looks like this Dark Lord guy doesn't like you anymore." Wufei said.

"Why!" Ray shouted at the dark swirl that had formed.

"You are of no more use to me." A voice that sounded like a thousand resonating cries of pain issued from the pit.

"You betrayed me!" He cried outraged.

"I no longer need you." It said and then the vortex threw more cord at Ray who dodged them easily.

"Get out of here" He commanded the others with a snap of his fingers. At that instant the ropes that held them vanished and the doors sprung open.

"What about you?" Hilde screamed as she began running towards the door.

"Forget about me! Now scat!" He dodged more thread and flew to the ceiling. Pulling out a sword he slashed open air which formed small white curves that sliced through the air to hit the vortex.

"You two get out of here! We'll handle this." Trowa yelled throwing Hilde and Catherine out into the hall and slammed the door shut. Heero deftly tried a gun shot on the pit, obviously that didn't work. Only Ray's attacks did anything. The only thing the other Pilots could do was dodge and be other targets.

"Well, the hell with this! We ain't getting shit done!" Duo screamed as he hid behind an upturned table. Heero suddenly dodged between the tables when a rope caught him by the leg. Horrified thinking it was Death cord he looked and saw it was only a white string. Yet no matter how much he shook it off it still clung to him.

"You're mine!" A voice shouted and death cord flew straight at Heero. In a flash Ray flew in front of him to bat it back at the pit with his sword but he missed a piece of the cord and it struck his arm. With the cord thrown at the pit it dissolved slowly and the pilots could finally look up to see Ray kneeling with his free hand grasping his arm.

"Ray! Are you okay?" Quatra said running up to him.

"Does it look like I'm okay, shit head?" He retorted sharply. He suddenly collapsed into Heero's lap and his breath came in sharp gasps.

"Why'd you save me?" Heero asked in horror. Ray grinned but this time it was different. It was no longer a nervous, shaky smile on the boy they'd seen in the hotel. It wasn't the one that brought chills to Heero's spine, that menacing grin. It was a smile. A *real* smile!

"At the moment the dark lord revealed his true side, it was like all the feelings I'd lost on my 14th birthday came back. I realized I was the wronged one and I had to make up for it." He smiled weakly and Heero felt a bit of warmth trickle down his face. Quatra placed a hand onto Ray's and squeezed it comfortingly. Ray looked at him in gratitude. Then looked back at Heero.

"I'm sorry. Now I know what vanished that day. It wasn't my feelings. I'm not the perfect soldier. I was missing one thing." He frowned with the effort to breath.

"What?" Heero asked gently.

"A..heart." He whispered then smiled for the last time and shut his eyes.

"Gah! That water is cold!" Duo shouted as Hilde splashed him. Heero smiled as he saw the playing. He laid back against the tree and closed his eyes breathing the earth smells around him. It had been a year since that incident. He'd had one dream after that day always of a form in shadow with wings. Not black but white, like snow.

"Can't you two stop fighting?" Wufei shouted at Duo from the dock where he sat with a fishing line. Sally sat next to him a smile plastered on her face.

"Calm down Wufei" Quatra said lightly. As he sat on the shoreline dangling his feet in the shallow water. Trowa was sitting on the small patch of rock in the middle of lake humming in the sun as Catherine sat next to him. Heero thought of that one saying. It was never said in that dream but he knew what that form was. As Duo pulled Wufei into the lake, Hilde laughed and Wufei cursed Duo. Heero knew that he never had to worry about them being in danger for a while. Because that one saying was simple. For over the five pilots, over the five who made a sin they never knew of, the five who had saved their fates together. Over the five fated, hung a guardian angel with deep sea green eyes.
Starlet: Sorry that one was so long but SOMEONE couldn't be patient.

Heero: Whatever.

Quatra: I will never drink that soda again!

Trowa: Good idea. Chuckles here was throwing it all up in the toilet.

Quatra: Don't remind me please.

Wufei: Hand it over Duo!

Duo: No way! IF you didn't want this to happen then you shouldn't have sung so loudly. They could here you in Tibet!

Wufei: Most people don't expect their comrades to sneak into the bathroom when their showering and tape record them!

Duo: Well I'm not most people now am I?

Starlet: Let's just get these two out of here. Before they break the set. So review please! I'm so happy! This is the first story I've completed.

Heero: And probably the last.

Starlet: Sticks tongue out at him Come back soon! I'll get another one up as soon as possible. And Kat? Don't drink the soda Quatra was. You don't need the sugar.
