Here is the next part.
GW doesn’t belong to me, so standard disclaimer still apply. I’m off to write the next one!

Trying to rescue Meiran was proving to be impossible. Though Relena and Midii helped with the
powers given upon them by the potions given to them, the rescuers still had to
fight back viciously. Somehow, word had
come around that the intruders were inside the base, and the group had met a
huge resistance. After two hours, the
rescuers were still stuck where they had landed. And there was the added threat that the two girls would get caught. That possibility, though, was near
impossible. Two Gundam pilots protected
them from harm, becoming their silent partners, always beside the girls step by
step.
The situation was near hopeless, until Heero found a weak point in the
enemy’s line. Using that advantage, the
group escaped from their spot and moved down the base toward the hall where
Meiran was. Relena had told them that
only the three of them were successful in the experiments, as her visions gave
her that information. So now the group
ran toward the room where Meiran was held, another victim of the scientists’
experiments.
Reaching the door of Meiran’s cell, Relena used her powers to override
the door’s automatic system. The door
opened with a swoosh and Relena stepped inside. She brightened the dreary room with her presence. Her eyes were automatically drawn to the
girl in the far corner of the room.
The girl lifted her face from her knees. She stared at Relena with no emotion upon them. Only the experience that she had shown in
them, a bleak one that had robbed the girl of her innocence and made her older
than her years. She didn’t stand up
when the new arrival appeared. Instead,
she gave Relena a calm look, devoid of emotion.
“I had sensed that ‘Angel’ had escaped and came back for me.”
Relena grew grim. “Yes. To rescue you from them.” She held out her hand. “You’ll come, won’t you?”
Meiran stared at the hand for a moment. Then she stood up, ignoring the hand. “I can stand, ‘Angel.’
I’m not that too far gone.” She
gave a self-deprecating smile. “Not
yet, anyway.”
Relena stared hard at the Chinese girl. “You underwent so many trials.”
Meiran nodded her head.
“Trying to make me a dragon…” her eyes grew hard as onyx. “I hate them.” Vehemence colored her words.
“You’re not the only one.” A
girl stepped up beside Relena.
Meiran gazed at her. “The
disappearing ‘Spy,’ I take it.”
A braided boy appeared behind the two girls. “How do you know all this?” he demanded.
Meiran stared at him coolly.
“You learned about them when they kept talking about it as they
experimented on you.”
“That’s enough for now. We
have to go before they found us.” A
brown-haired boy came up to the silver-haired girl and took her hand. “Come on.”
Meiran followed the group. She
was a step out of her cell when her eyes rested upon a Chinese boy. Their gazes met and held. Silence encompassed them, interrupted by the
brown-haired boy’s voice.
“Let’s go.”
Meiran tore her eyes away from her husband’s and followed the
group. There would be time for the two
of them to talk. Right now, they had to
escape. She ignored the feeling that
had appeared when she caught sight of him, a feeling that she had never told
him even when they were together as a married couple. She saw two more boys, a dark-haired boy and a blond boy, at the
edge of her peripheral vision.
The group ran down the hallway, now and then encountering some
soldiers bent on stopping them. They
came upon a break in the hallways, and Heero stopped. He turned to the others.
“I want you to go this way. I
have a few things that I have to do.”
Before the others could stop him, he ran down the other hallway. Duo stopped Relena from following, having
seen the look that his friend had given him.
Reluctantly, Relena allowed the braided boy to pull her to the other
hallway, giving a last look upon the departing back of the brown-haired boy who
had stolen her heart.
Heero had made sure that this was the last stop before he returned to
the others. He placed a bomb that he
had made on the wall adjacent to the computer terminal that had recorded the
experiments of the mad organization.
The lab was full of the things that had been given to the test
subjects. The boy hardly gave it a
glance, since he had gotten what he had wanted from the lab and was ready to
finish his job.
Heero was almost done when he felt a sting upon his arm. He grunted and took the needle from it. He turned around and saw a mad scientist
giving him an evil look.
“I won’t let you escape.” The
mad glint in the man’s eyes grew brighter.
“We had used males before.
Usually they die, since all of them were impure.” He smacked his lips. “You’ll not be the first to die from the
potion. And I’ll see that you die with
me.”
Heero lifted his gun and fired it, hitting the man dead on. He ignored the pain that the potion was
giving him. He knew instinctively that
he wouldn’t survive. Grimly, he pushed
the button that was connected to all the bombs. Before unconsciousness fell on him, he said one word.
“Relena.”
Relena snapped her head up, looking at the base on the Moon in
horror. Without thought, she leaped for
the door hatch of the space ship, but she encountered resistance from Duo and
Trowa. “No! Let me go!”
Duo shook his head. “No can
do, ‘Lena. Heero won’t forgive us if we
let you go.”
Suddenly, the base below exploded.
Relena stared at it with widening eyes.
“HEERO!”
The dark angel laughed. He
could feel the potion taking effect, releasing him from the hold keeping him at
bay. He raised his eyes toward the
light getting nearer to him. “Finally,
at long last.” He smirked. “I’ll be with you soon, angel. I’m coming!”
The light shot down at the dark angel, surrounding him with its
brilliance. And he disappeared.
