Author's Notes: Miss me? Thanks!!! I'm back after a week of hard work and
tests at the University. Gee! Who would had thought I am this old?! Anyway,
here I am as I promised, with this 'SURPRISE FIC'. Remember I told you,
back at "Anything for love", that this story was gonna surprise you all? He
he he. Because I always do 'sap, angst' thingies, but this is my first DARK
fic.
I got the idea for this story from an old movie I saw last week, and I am sure you all have seen that movie too. Of course, I'm not saying which movie is because you'll guess the plot in the fic, but if any of you guesses it as the chapters go on, will receive a special award. (Yeah, I'll send you Duo Maxwell, alive and kicking...) Kidding, but man! I wish it could be true (me sighs, dreamy eyes...)
So, Duo gets seriously shot trying to save Heero during a mission (I know I always do that, but I like it so don't sue me) The other 4 pilots manage to escape, leaving Duo behind. But they promise him to come back for him at any cost.....but for some reason, the time tics days away, and his friends don't return, until it's too late...........A broken promise releases a dark spirit, who will leave a track of deaths and blood, and he will never rest until his vengeance is completed.
Warning: Torture, Blood.
"Beyond Life and Death"
By Shinigami's Voice.
-Chapter One-
Their shoes hit the metallic floor as they continued running. The constant yells and noises flooded the place. Whistles of close bullets passed near their faces, arms, legs.......
"Docks ahead!" -the voice of 04 pilot overpowered the fuzz, as he indicated the way they had to take.
"05, the detonators!" -Heero gave the order as they continued their dash.
The Chinese pilot halted abruptly and crouched, as he retrieved the small device from his clothes.
A teen clad in black suit stood right in front of him, with an automatic in his one of his hands and a colt in the other.
"I got you cover!" -Duo indicated, as he shot some of the soldiers who were aiming at them.
"We're finished. Lets move" -the tall European said as he ran by 02 and 05, until he reached the hall 04 was indicating.
"01!" -Duo shouted, as Wufei pressed the bottom and the place started to fall among explosions.
Two seconds later, Heero appeared in view, running and firing at the same time.
"Go!" -he said, and Duo and Wufei sprinted in their feet, with Heero on their heels.
"Damn all to Hell! Kill them!"
"Shoot them down!!!"
"These bastards! Damn pilots!!"
'My, my, seems they are not that happy.....' -the 02 pilot smirked as he dodged more bullets.
Suddenly, the hallways trembled as the fire engulfed the near engine's room. When the shaking ceased, Duo stood up from his position against a metallic wall and looked around.
"01, 02!" -Quatre called them.
"Hurry" -Heero said as started to run beside Duo.
Both pilots could see the place falling to wrecks and their three comrades waiting for them in the docks' gates.
The mission had been accomplished. They had destroyed the Mobile Dolls with the Gundams' data and stole the lists of bases that were creating gundamiun alloy.
'Something's ahead. Danger' -Duo's mind snapped the words and he narrowed his eyes. He had learned to trust in his instincts since very young. Living as a street rat teaches you that.
"Wait!" -the DeathScythe pilot suddenly said, grasping Heero's wrist and yanking him back.
"What?!" -Heero practically barked at the movement.
"I think........"
Duo never finished saying what he thought because Heero slammed him against the wall, as he lifted his gun and fired against the ozies that were following them.
"We're going to be shot standing here" -01 warned as he kept firing, and walking backwards - "What are you waiting for? Lets go!"
And as the Japanese pilot said those words, he whirled and started running again.
Duo, on his place, widened his eyes as he caught a glimpse of the soldier standing at the corner of the hallway, an automatic already aiming.
"Look out!" - a voice sounded at the same time the noise of a gun firing twice ringed through the place.
Blue eyes met the danger until that precise moment, but all of a sudden, Duo crossed in the way, hitting Heero with an arm, in order to get him out of the trajectory of the projectile.
The Wing pilot, caught by surprise, fell on his back, but his glance was still fixed at the front. His mind was yelling at him in warning and.........cold fear.
The noises were shut off as Heero could practically see the scene in slow speed. He saw the way the long hair of his friend swayed as Duo turned his head first at him, confirming that Heero was right, then back at the front, where the soldier fired again.
Heero watched stunned as the amethyst eyes widened and then closed, a burst of red coming out of his chest. He saw the American falling, his left hand dropping the gun..........
Until then, Heero snapped back in anger and dread at the time. In his sitting position, he caught 02 before the boy hit the floor, and he lifted his gun, mouthing a curse in Japanese and pulling the trigger.
The soldier who had fired Duo fell dead, a bullet in his head and other in his throat.
Immediately, he returned his attention to the pilot on his lap. He was bleeding profusely.
"Duo, Duo" -he called, trying not to sound desperate. And failing in that.
".......shit......" -a soft whisper escaped Duo's lips as he grimaced in pain.
"Heero!"
"Maxwell!"
The three pilots who had taken the lead arrived in a hurry at the spot, kneeling beside the fallen comrades.
"Allah..." -Quatre muttered as he saw the blood streaming down the black jacket.
"Cover us!" -Heero ordered as he proceeded to unzip Duo's jacket and rip the white under shirt.
Wufei and Trowa stood up, their guns firing against more soldiers who were trying to get closer.
Heero pressed his lips together as he studied the damage. Fortunately, the bullet hadn't hit the right side of Duo's chest, but it had surely perforated his left lung. 01 tried to ease him in a sitting position against a wall, but Duo moaned in protest.
"Don't, Heero. You're making it bleed more" -Quatre warned.
"We have to go!" -Trowa alerted as more keeps arrived to the place.
"Lift him up!" -Wufei said, as 03 and him started to back off. They couldn't hold the fire exchange more time.
Prussian blue eyes met ice blue ones, as Quatre said in a whisper, his voice filled with anguish.
"We can't move him, Heero"
"I'm not leaving" -the Japanese boy answered also in murmur, his voice low in warning.
"Hey..." -Duo's wary voice turned 04 and 01's attention to him- "How....how touching you two" -and the small smile made its appearance in Duo's lips- "Ne, Heero, getting sentimental? Gee, thought I'll never see the day......" -Duo cracked the joke, but his eyes reflected his pain.
"We got them!"
"Move! Move! Move!"
"Close all exits!"
Duo's expression turned serious at the voices of the incoming ozies.
"Go" -he said, addressing both the Arabian and Japanese boy.
"No" -the two answered at the unison.
"Don't.......don't be stupid, guys. They won't kill me yet. Remember the ozies like prisoners and confessions...." -Duo said in all seriousness- "They'll keep me alive, for a time at least........"
"We'll come back for you, Duo. We will get you out, we promise" -Quatre said as he held the pale hand of his friend.
Trowa and Wufei, who had heard the conversation, kneeled as well.
"Just hang on a little while, Duo. Don't say a word but don't taunt them either" -Trowa warned, as he brushed Duo's bangs on his forehead- "You don't need them to beat you. Wait for us, we'll come"
"Be strong, Maxwell. And don't worry, we'll be back. Don't let them overpower you" -Wufei murmured with firm expression, trying to reassure and encourage the boy.
"Just a little more! Capture them alive!" -the soldiers screamed as they passed through the fire of the explosions.
03, 05 and 04 stood up and waited for Heero to follow.
The Japanese pilot scowled at the situation, and maybe at himself too. The mere idea of leaving a comrade behind was wrong. But it was Duo. The mere idea of leaving Duo behind was unacceptable, and painful. And Heero didn't want to leave yet......
"Heero, you're gonna come for me, right? Or are you tired enough of little Duo and gonna leave Shinigami with the ozies?" -the longhaired boy joked in soft voice.
Blue eyes met directly violet ones.
"I'll come back. I promise...I promise you, Duo" -he said with an intense glance- "But promise me you'll wait for me"
"I'll try" -Duo answered, his voice faltering- "But you better hurry 'coz I am not gonna last much like this" -Duo said with all honesty.
"Don't worry" -Heero murmured as he squeezed his friend's hand in his and putting the other one over Duo's forehead.
Duo's other hand lifted suddenly, and he griped the silver cross on his chest, which was now stained red. The L2 boy lifted the chain and took it off his neck. Heero watched in silence as Duo hung it to his own neck, letting it rested in Heero's chest.
"I'm lending it to you. You'll have to give it back next time we see, k?" -he smiled as he saw Heero moving away, standing up to leave. The silver cross shined on his chest - "You promised me" -Duo murmured.
Heero nodded, and looking at him one last second, the 01 pilot whirled and started running with the other 3 youngsters towards the docks. All the way, a steely hand was gripping the precious cross.
Duo watched in silence as his friends made their getaway, and soon the rampaging sound of a cargo ship could be heard all over the place. Mission accomplished.
Dozens of soldiers surrounded him, their guns trained on him, but he couldn't move anyway.
Violet eyes turned blurred, and soon all turned black around Duo.
To Be Continued.....
A/N: Review, please. You guys have to R&R if you want to read next chapter, k? 10 reviews and I'll post the 2nd one. I promise this fic is going to have interesting twists and surprises..........
