Hello fellow CP fans, I'm new to and I have a Captain Planet story to share with you all! I do hope you will enjoy, I'll update as regularly as I can. :) Due to the sexual nature in this first chapter, I'll have to give the whole story a MA rating I think. Don't worry, they're old enough!

I do not own Captain Planet, this is just purely written for fan enjoyment only. No money is being made!

…...

The usual, happy atmosphere that surrounded Hope Island had been replaced by a dark, sad shadow.

It draped even the sunniest of places covered the beautiful island.

The last Eco mission, it had been the Planeteers greatest one yet. But it had also shattered their entire world.

As they sat in silence, faces pale and drawn with sorrow. The four remaining Planeteers were on the same train of thought.

Looking the worst for wear out of them all, knees raised, face hidden against them, arms wrapped around her legs, Linka hadn't said a single word.

The memory of Wheeler disappearing over the ledge of the ravine, his voice calling out her name, and the explosion that followed. The very thought caused a sob to escape from the blonde's lips.

Leaning over to rest a hand upon her shoulder, Gi had a sad expression upon her features "Linka...are you going to be alright?"

It took a moment but Linka finally raised her head. Tears were streaming down her cheeks, from her green eyes.

"Nyet Gi, I am not...Wheeler, he is-he is…"

The wind bearer was finding it hard to even finish her sentence.

Feeling a fresh, batch of tears form, Linka raised her hand to wipe at her eyes "Oh Wheeler…!" she managed to say through her sobs.

Before Gi could have a chance to even comfort her friend, Linka had got to her feet "I think I will go and lay down for a while.."

Wiping her eyes once more, the blonde then left the Common Room and made her way outside and to her hut.

Having watched her go, the others exchanged looks of concern. "Poor Linka...she really isn't taking this well at all…" Gi pointed out the situation to Kwame and Ma-Ti.

"I wish there was more we could do for her…" Ma-Ti had said quietly, patting Suchi was sitting on his lap.

Letting out a sigh, Kwame replied "She just needs time, all we can do is be here for her".

Reaching her hut, Linka just stood at the side of her bed. Staring downwards, she then collapsed onto it, laying upon her side.

Turning her head to the side, her green eyes went slightly wide. She took in the faint scent of Wheeler's after shave, instantly Linka's mind traveled only about two nights, two nights before her entire world came crashing down around her.

~Flashback~

Feeling her back gently pressed up against the wall of the side of her hut. Linka tried not to give into Wheeler's charm, lately that had been rather difficult.

"Nyet Wheeler, we should not be doing this…" Linka's voice sounded nervous and a little flustered.

"Aww, come on babe...it's ok, it's been forever since we shared a little kiss…" Wheeler pouted just a little, his hand found its way to her cheek.

The moment his fingertips grazed her cheek, Linka felt her heart begin to race.

"Bozhe Moi Wheeler…" The blonde murmured, the way the redhead made her feel, it was hard not to give in.

Grinning, Wheeler took his chance to lean in, catching the Russian off guard, his lips found hers and he kissed her rather deeply.

All that escaped from Linka's mouth was a noise of surprise. Raising her hands to his chest, Linka went to push him away. But the feel of his lips brushing against her own, it made her melt inside.

For what felt like forever, though it had only been a few moments that action was held between them.

Wheeler's hands trailed down to rest upon Linka's perfectly curved hips. Gently he pressed her a little more against the wall.

Needing to catch their breath, both pulled away momentarily from the kiss.

Mumbling something in Russian, which Wheeler was unable to decipher. The redhead watched Linka try and recollect herself.

"Heh, you alright there babe? You're looking a little flustered". He just couldn't help himself, Wheeler just had to add in his two cents worth.

Rolling her eyes, Linka knew he just couldn't help himself. But before she could respond, she felt his lips on hers once again, this time Linka didn't try to resist.

Falling into the kiss, her green eyes slowly closed. Sliding her hands up, letting her fingers entangle in Wheeler's red locks.

Smiling beneath the kiss, Wheeler could feel the lovely Russian finally relaxing in the moment, that they were currently sharing.

Not really paying attention to what she was doing, Linka in to deepen the kiss. Reaching her hands down, the blonde slid them up Wheeler's red shirt, trailing her fingertips along his toned stomach.

Suddenly frowning at her own boldness, Linka pulled away from the kiss "Nyet, Wheeler we should stop…!"

Turning her head to look to the side, Linka bit her bottom lip, heart racing madly in her chest.

Noticing her uncertainty, Wheeler smiled, his hand coming to rest upon her chin "Linka, it's alright...it really is".

When he didn't receive a response, the pyro Planeteer gently turned Linka's head, so she was now looking at him.

Still biting her lip, Linka just stared into Wheeler's beautiful, blue eyes. Once again, she found herself becoming lost within them.

"Oh Wheeler…" was all she got out, her lips then pressing against his once more.

Rather taken back by the force that was behind Linka's kiss, Wheeler though, quickly got over the surprise.

Closing his eyes, he kissed her back.

The moment soon escalated from there. Finally giving in fully, Linka brushed her lips slowly over Wheeler's. Her hips had slid forward, pressing her body up against his.

Feeling Linka's body push up against his, Wheeler started to feel warm all over.

Taking a breath, pulling back from kissing her on the lips, Wheeler then formed a trail of kisses down her jawline and along her neck.

Having such an action bestowed upon her, and it being in a sensitive area. Linka kept her eyes closed, tilting her head a little to the side, lips slightly parted, a rather heavy breath escaped from her.

After a moment, Linka pulled back, having a pleading look within her green eyes. The feelings she had overcome her, it prompted her to say what she said next.

"W-Wheeler, I want...I want to…" Linka became flustered once more "Bozhe Moi.." she mumbled.

Hands still resting on her hips, instantly Wheeler caught onto what she was trying to say "Say no more babe, I get it".

Sharing a passionate kiss, as lost as she became within it. Linka stepped away from the wall, she then pulled Wheeler to follow her.

Heading straight for the open door to her hut, which was soon shut behind them.

Without breaking the kiss, which was becoming all the more fierce. Linka didn't stop backing up, not until the back of her legs hit against the side of her bed.

Pulling her lips back from Wheeler's, Linka gazed up at him "Things are...they're happening so fast, I,am not sure.." her sentence was cut off, for Wheeler's lips had crashed against hers once more.

Wanting to let her know that it was alright, alright to feel the way she was currently feeling.

Wheeler knew what she wanted, what he wanted, what they both wanted.

Hands slipping up his shirt once more, the kiss Linka was receiving took her breath away completely.

Tracing her fingers over Wheeler's abs, Linka felt a rather excited feeling wash over her.

"Just relax beautiful, everything will be fine…" Wheeler had reassured the blonde. In doing so, his lips trailed back to Linka's neck, each of his kisses he allowed to linger.

Breath catching in her throat, Linka had to hold back a groan, instead she whispered, slightly breathless "Wheeler…"

As hands and lips explored one another, Linka found herself reaching for Wheeler's hand, without warning, she slid it up the front of her sky blue, long sleeved top.

The moment Wheeler's fingers came into contact with her bare skin, Linka felt herself flare up all over.

Unable to help but smirk a little, Wheeler moved his hand, his fingertips grazing over Linka's soft skin.

This action sent a pleasurable shiver up the blonde's spine.

Wanting more, her desire to be closer to the Yankee growing more intense. Linka pulled her hands from under his shirt, bringing them up to rest on either side of Wheeler's face.

Pulling his head down, she pressed her lips more intensely against his.

'Whoa...Linka, she's really going for it…' Wheeler thought to himself, not that he minded. He was just surprised.

What happened next really caught him off guard, Linka leaned back and fell upon her bed, bringing the redhead with her.

Bringing out his hands, Wheeler rested them either side of Linka, supporting his weight upon them.

Linka's sudden display of increased affection, it had caused the American to feel a little nervous. Much like that time he and the Russian rode together in the Tunnel of Love.

The bizarre dream Wheeler had that day, it had turned him off from wanting to kiss Linka. In fears the kiss would have led to the events of his dream.

This time it was Wheeler who pulled back from the kiss they had been sharing.

"Ahh, Linka...you're ok with all this, right…?"

Hearing the unsure tone, one that soaked the Yankee's usual cocky voice, Linka stared up at him and smirked a little.

"What is this, is the smooth, talking American getting cold feet?" The blonde playfully teased him.

Feeling heat rise to his cheeks, Wheeler replied "No of course not!"

A giggle escaped Linka's lips, she ran her fingers through his red hair once more.

"Oh Wheeler...and here you were telling me to relax, it is alright to feel nervous".

Just to prove her point, Linka placed both her hands on either side of his cheeks. Gently she pulled his head down, close enough to press her lips to his.

Wheeler didn't resist, blue eyes close he fell into the rather passionate kiss.

Carefully he slid his hands behind her back, allowing them to rest against her shoulder blades.

Both their lips brushed against each other deeply. Wanting more, Linka pulled him even closer. One of her hands slid from Wheeler's face, travelling down his shoulder.

Stopping on his elbow, Linka carefully repositioned his hand. Boldly she slipped it up her top, not stopping until she rested it, perhaps a little shyly upon her right breast.

At this point, Wheeler's mind was doing loops on him, it was always on very rare occasions, that Linka would show her affection.

"Whoa babe..you're driving me crazy…" The fact that his hand was now resting upon Linka's perfect breast, only furthered his ever growing desire.

Tilting her head to the side, allowing Wheeler better access to her neck. Linka's breath was drawn in rather quickly.

Still feeling bold, the Russian started to kiss and lightly nip at her Yankee's earlobe.

Both were breathing somewhat heavily now, reaching his hands over, Wheeler grabbed at the bottom of Linka's sky blue top and steadily lifted it up.

Though nervous, Linka didn't hesitate and arched her back a little. Enough so Wheeler could pull her top off over her head.

Doing the same, Linka removed Wheeler's red shirt; discarding it upon the floor of her hut.

Cheeks flushed pink, Linka ran her hands over the redhead's toned chest.

"My...Wheeler, you are really muscular". The blonde sounded breathless, it wasn't that she had failed to notice how toned Wheeler was in the past.

She had seen it on a number of occasions. Still, she was in awe.

No surprise, a smirk had formed on Wheelers' lips, replying "Of course I am babe, I do work out ya know, anything to look good for you".

Lips crashing together once more, Wheeler had pulled Linka closer to him, so that their bare chests were touching.

The deeper the pair fell into the moment, the more intense things became between them.

As Wheeler bit down on her neck, a pleasurable groan came from Linkas' lips.

Slowly she raised her legs, pressing them against the redhead's hips.

Having positioned himself between the Russian's legs, Wheeler rubbed his hips against her.

Obviously, Linka could feel what was happening against her, causing her to mumble "Bozhe Moi…" The fact she could make him feel this way, it was a new but good feeling.

"Don't stop Wheeler.." Linka breathed into his ear.

The American had no plans on stopping with his pursuing of the lovely Russian.

He proceeded to trail his kisses down her neck and to her chest.

In response to the action, Linka arched her back a little. Her chest pressing up against Wheeler's lips, a gentle gasp had escaped her pink lips.

When Wheeler turned his kissing into light nips upon her sensitive skin, a pleasurable moan had rolled off the blondes tongue.

"Oh Wheeler.." Linka had managed to breathe, the wonderful feelings she was currently experiencing, it made it difficult to form a proper sentence.

It wasn't long before the rest of their clothes were discarded on the floor.

Now fully naked in front of one another, Linka suddenly felt a bit uneasy.

Bearing all in front of the Yankee, she raised her hands to cover her chest, a blush covered Linka's cheeks.

"I am feeling a little insecure…" Her eye brows knitted into a frown, seeing Wheeler was just gawking at her "Nyet! Do not just sit there and stare at me like that, Bozhe Moi Wheeler!" she snapped.

Biting her bottom lip, Linka was a little worried on how Wheeler would think of her physically.

Having not been able to take his blue eyes off her, Wheeler jerked suddenly out of his trance, startled by the blonde snapping at him.

Not wanting the moment to be ruined, Wheeler quickly apologised "Ah! S-sorry, it's just that, you're absolutely gorgeous babe…"

When Linka still seemed to hesitate, he reached over his hand and placed it against her cheek. "Linka, I mean it, you're perfect in every way to me".

Hearing such sweet words come from the American, it made Linka's heart leap with happiness.

Though at times Wheeler could be insensitive and say things without thinking, he had his good moments as well.

When it came to her, Wheeler always knew how to make her feel good about herself.

Most of the time she would turn down his attempts to show her affection, but this time things were different.

Adjusting her position, Linka held out her arms, inviting Wheeler so she could embrace him.

Smiling the redhead shifted his own position, he fit almost perfectly between her legs.

Giggling a little, Linka wrapped her arms around the back of Wheeler's neck, fumbling with red strands of his hair.

The Russian had been together with her Yankee for almost a year now. She had finally given into her hearts desires, eventually it had proven too much to resist anymore.

"I'll be gentle babe, I promise". Wheeler's voice reached Linka's ears, it brought a smile to her lips.

"Da, I know you will, I trust you". It was true, the blonde did trust him, with everything she had. She believed they would always be together, no matter what was thrown at them.

"Linka, beautiful, I love you.." That was the last time the redhead spoke those words to the blonde, and as she returned them to him that night. She let him take her, take her away to a place that was said to be even more wonderful that paradise itself.

Neither of them, as they gave into their love for one another could know that in so many hours from that very moment. Their whole world would be shattered, and life as they knew it would drastically change.

~End Flashback~

Having been so lost in recalling the unforgettable moment, Linka hadn't even noticed the fresh tears, which were cascading down her cheeks.

"Wheeler.." Linka felt as if her heart had been completely ripped out of her chest, and now there was nothing more but a big, gaping hole where her heart had once been.

The shock of losing Wheeler still lingered, sitting herself up, resting her arms upon her open window, Linka stared out towards the beach.

Part of Linka still believed that at any moment, the trouble making redhead would come dashing up from wind surfing, dripping wet and would greet her with that cocky, flirty smile of his.

That would not happen again, he would no longer greet her in the mornings, nor would he try his smooth moves on her, she would no longer hear his voice, or his jokes.

But what hurt the most, the biggest blow to her emotions was the thought of never being held within his embrace again.

"Why..? It is not fair!" Linka's voice was on breaking point, resting her head down on her arms. She finally gave into the sobs that had been wanting to escape this entire time.

….

The sun was beginning to move itself towards the horizon, it would be setting on a rather empty and painfilled day, a sunset soaked in tears.

Everyone else had remained in the Common room of the Crystal Chamber. Gaia was awfully quiet, and hadn't been seen since she realized what had happened to Wheeler.

Simply staring down at his ring, Ma-Ti felt tears prick the corners of his brown eyes. "I-I cannot believe that Wheeler is really gone…"

Shaking her head, Gi just couldn't come to grips with the fact that her close friend was gone.

"After everything we've been through, all those close calls...I just can't believe it, oh Wheeler…"

The water Planeteer looked on the verge of tears.

Kwame was completely lost in his thoughts, the Eco mission that had claimed their friends life, it would forever be burnt into his mind.

"I just cannot get my head around it..perhaps there is still a chance, that he might have survived".

The earth ring bearer knew that was probably wishful thinking.

Wheeler had been put in many situations, where the others feared he had been lost to them forever. But that redhead always found his way back to them.

Things were completely different now though, this time Wheeler wasn't able to escape, his luck had ran out.

With one less on their team, in spite of the heartache they were suffering from. Without Wheeler there was no way the Planeteers could summon Captain Planet.

Meanwhile, having disappeared for a short while, in hopes of getting her head around the entire situation. Gaia was wandering the shore of her beloved Hope Island, silently the wildlife that occupied the paradise followed her.

Stopping at the waters edge, Gaia stared out to sea, watching the waves roll in from the distance.

Brown eyes full of pain and sadness, the spirit of the earth spoke softly "Oh Wheeler, if you're out there...please return to us safely…"

Gaia couldn't believe that one of her chosen was gone, something told her, a feeling deep inside that their beloved American had survived the explosion.

Though she had the power to forsee some things, this was not one of them.

Having tried to contact Wheeler herself, Ma-Ti had done the same, but they could sense nothing from Wheeler.

All the spirit of the earth could go on, was her feeling that the mischievous, but loveable redhead was still alive.

And hope that he was trying to make his way back to them.

….

Well that is Chapter One! I do hope it will be enjoyable. In chapter two, we'll get to see what exactly has become of Wheeler! It'll be interesting, so stay tuned!
