At the Carnival:

Heero grabbed Relena’s arm as she walked forward. She turned to him with a questionable face.

"Be careful. I’ll find a way to get you back."

Relena looked into his eyes and smiled.

"I know. I love you."

Heero let her arm go and stepped back. Relena walked forward a couple more steps, and waited. The men holding Valise let her go, they talked to Derrik on a communicator.

"Sir, we are making the exchange."

Derrik was watching from afar, about a mile away from the carnival. He took his binoculars and saw Relena passing Valise.

"Excellent."

The men talked to Derrik again.

"Sir, should we let Dr.Moore leave alive?"

Derrik thought for a moment, he watched Relena come only a step away from the men.

"Yes, let her go. I don’t want my trophy getting hurt. Oh, and when she gets to you check her for any tracking devices."

"Understood Sir."

Derrik held up the binoculars again to watch, he looked at the pilots who were standing by helplessly. He started to laugh, and yelled not caring who heard him.

"SHE’S MINE!"

Valise had safely gotten to the pilots. Relena heard a yell and turned her head to the direction of the sound. Derrik’s comrades grabbed Relena as she came close to them, Relena held up her hands.

"Hey, I’m coming peacefully, peacefully. No need to push me around."

One of the men held her, while the other took out an electronic detector to check for tracking devices. They reported back to Derrik.

"Sir, there are no trackers."

Derrik went over to a motorcycle parked not far and got on. 

"Good job. I’m coming right now, meet me on the road to MacTacern mountain. Make sure she doesn’t struggle."

Derrik started the bikes motor and speed off to the meeting point.

Meanwhile down below, at the carnival:

Heero watched every move the men made with Relena. He stared into her eyes. Relena gave a look full of sorrow. One of the men grabbed her by the stomach then put a cloth over her nose and mouth. She fought for a moment before the drug took effect. Relena fell limp, the man picked her up as his comrade looked out for any last attempts by the pilots to try anything. The pilots watched as they disappeared into the crowd. Heero felt the anger mount through every muscle in his body. Anybody could see the tension rising in his body.

"NOOO!!"

The crowd parted and looked on in horror, trying to guess why this person yelled out. Heero gave a defeated sigh. Valise turned to him.

"I’m sorry it had to be this way Heero. I know in your eyes that ten of my lifetimes is not equal to one of Relena’s."

Heero turned to her, gave her a moments notice, then started to walk back to the plane. Wufei looked at valise from the corner of his eye.

"Follow us, Dr.Moore."

Valise obediently followed the pilots to the plane.

A couple hours later, in space:

"Uhh..god,..my head."

Relena rubbed the back of her neck, and slowly opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was Derrik’s face, she gasped, wondering what was happening. Then it all came back to her. She was in a metal chair in a room with no color except for black. The only comforting thing was the natural light from above. Relena sighed and looked at the ground.

"For a moment I thought I was home."

Derrik laughed softly, and moved closer to her.

"Far from it, my dear. I am so glad that you are here with me."

Relena rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, well that accounts for one person in this room. Why are you doing this?!"

She tried to loosen the rope, that was holding her hands in place. Derrik gave her a bored look.

"You shouldn’t do that. It won’t loosen. I don’t want you hurting yourself, know do I?"

Relena smiled cynically at him.

"Nice to know your such a caring person. All you are is just a coward that can’t face his enemies."

Derrik searched her face, and saw the determination in her eyes.

"Still hoping that your Prince Charming will come and rescue you?"

Relena yelled in frustration at being held against her will.

"I don’t need him to rescue me. I can kill you on my own. Even if he did come, he will not hesitate to shoot you. Where I have mercy for weaklings like you, he has none."

Derrik put his hands on her shoulders to stop her efforts in trying to break free.

"I look forward to the confrontation, all in due time. Remember he won’t do anything stupid while I have you here."

Derrik came within inches of her face. Relena kept her face back as far as she could.

"I will never cooperate with anything."

Derrik’s face pouted.

"That’s a shame. Now didn’t you have a little son..what was his name?..oh yes, Damon was it? We don’t want anything bad happening to him, do we?"

Relena took advantage of his closeness and spit in his face.

"Coward! Only a slimy, yellow bellied coward would use a child in his sick games."

Derrik wiped the spit of his cheek and stood up.

"You shouldn’t have done that my dear."

He smacked Relena across the face. Hard enough to draw blood. She spit the blood that was gathering in her mouth onto the floor. Derrik’s attitude changed into a more corrupt and unfavorable demeanor.

"To answer your question on why I brought you here, you are going to help our organization. Our people are misunderstood, they say we use violence to change people’s minds and believe in our ways. If we have the former Queen of the world on our side, they will except our rules."

Relena decided to humor him.

"What is exactly these rules?"

Derrik smiled as if he conquered a nation.

"Well, there is only one very strong rule that we go by. It’s as basic as it comes.

"Survival of the fittest."

Relena though for a moment, not knowing at what he was getting at.

"I don’t understand. What exactly do you mean?"

Derrik walked around Relena, it was a tactic to make her nervous. Relena knew this so she was hardly effected.

"You see, this world is created by strong and weak people. The weak are annoyances, they deceive you. Peacekeepers are weak, they submit when they should fight."

Relena was getting tired of his speeches.

"Will you get to the point?"

Derrik stopped and looked at her.

"That is what I admired about you Relena Peacecraft. Even though you advocated peace, you were so strong, believing within what you thought was peace."

Relena gave him a funny look.

"What I thought was peace?"

"Yes, what you thought was peace. We believe that ultimate peace will be based on only the strong. In that case we have to get rid of the weak."

Relena closed her eyes, she knew what he wanted her to do. Derrik looked rigorous.

"You my dear are going to help us assassinate your brother and all the council. When that is through you will take his place and bring a new order to the nations..our ORDER!!"

Relena’s eyes were stinging with tears.

"Your crazy."

Derrik laughed at her.

"No my dear, crazy people are dumb. I’m smart, I’m eccentric. I come back tomorrow for your answer, either your boyfriend, your son and your friends or your brother and the peace council. I’ll see you later."

Relena hung her head in defeat, she whispered in hope of a voice answering her.

"What do I do?"

At the professor’s base:

The pilots had all reported what happened and they heard Valise’s story. She revealed that her captor was Derrik, most of everyone was in shock. Heero left the room, not wanting to hear anymore. He had learned all he wanted to know. Later that night, the whole base was asleep except for Heero. He typed away at his laptop, hoping to find anything on Derrik and where he might possibly be. He stopped for a moment and leaned back, Heero had a feeling that in the next couple days something bad, very bad was going to happen.
