Another part done and over with.  GW doesn’t belong to me, so standard disclaimers still apply.  That is all I have to say.

“Heero!”

            Duo opened the door, frantic with worry.  He didn’t see the two figures at first, but then saw them.  He forgot what he was there for, and spoke.  “Say, did I missed a meeting or something?”

            Trowa shook his head.  “No.  What’s the matter, Duo?”

            Duo, reminded of why he was there, spoke up.  “They took Hilde.”  He turned his gaze to the dark angel.  “I thought you destroyed all the labs.”  There was an accusatory note in his voice.

            Heero was unperturbed.  “There must have been some scientists left that weren’t in the labs.  Probably have their experiments in their own homes.”

            Wufei scowled.  “Those imbeciles.”  He snorted in disgust.  “What dishonor.”  He turned to Heero.  “Yuy, they’re on to us.  They’re trying to get ‘them’ and us as well.”

            Trowa agreed.  “They know that ‘they’ are protected by us, so they are going to get people near us to make us mad.”

            Heero, who had been typing ever since Duo appeared, finally turned around.  “Trowa, go to Dorothy’s mansion.  If you don’t find her, follow her trail.  Wufei, you find Hilde and bring her back.”  He quelled the braided boy with a glare.  “Save it, Duo.  If you know what’s good for you, get Quatre.”

            Duo, giving his friend a glare in return, followed the dark angel’s command.  Somehow, he sensed that his friend had a good reason, one that he wasn’t ready yet to tell him.  He hid his disappointment over Hilde’s rescue, yet began to run to find the Winner heir in the Peacecraft mansion, where he had stayed for the duration, ever since Relena’s disappearance.

            After Duo had left, Trowa turned to Heero.  “Why didn’t you let Duo go after Hilde, Heero?”

            “Because I fear that the scientists that are ‘testing’ now are under close guards by them.”

            Wufei’s gaze sharpened.  “You mean someone from the past is all behind this?”

            Heero returned to his laptop.  “Yes.  Someone sick enough to try to recreate the past into the present.”

            Trowa only said one word.  “Who?”

            Heero paused for a moment then replied.  “Our enemy.”

 

            A dark sinister figure gazed down at the monstrosity that his minion had created.  He grinned evilly.  He put one long, sharp fingernail upon the thick viewing glass, at the spot where the ‘monster’ was.

            “The past will ‘return.’  And soon, the puny humans will be no more.”

            He craned his head back and laughed insanely.
