A Summoner and his Guardian

Shounen Ai, 1x2, 3x4

WARNING: Relena and Hilde bashing

Gundam Wing and Final Fantasy 10 crossover. Basically the story of FFX with Gundam Wing Characters. (Although I've changed quite alot of the story, so that relationships happen faster and are more obvious!) Don't worry if you've never even heard of FFX, I hope you can still enjoy the story anyway. Please R&R, this is the first fanfiction I've had the guts to post up *sweatdrops*

Enjoy!

PS: There will be shounen ai and Relena and Hilde bashing in future chapters! I promise!

PSS. This chapter has been re-uploaded, I screwed up the HTML on the last one _

Listen to my story.........

"And there he is folks, Duo Maxwell, Star Player for the Zanarkand Abes!"

A huge cheer spread through the audience, making the blood rush to my cheeks. All these years Blitzing and I still wasn't used to the applause. I stepped forwards, waving to the cheering crowd. They screamed louder, some of them leaping up in their seats, waving their arms wildly.

"BLITZ OFF!"

At those words I lept into the glowing sphere of water before me, and dove quickly for the ball. The rival player grabbed it first, and spiralled away from me, clutching the ball to their abdomen. I grinned and dove under them, twisting round as I grabbed the ball from him. He growled, and tried to grab me as I swam away.

"Maxwell!" came someone's gargled reply, and I saw the familiar strip of my team dart out from under the other's defence. I nodded, and threw the ball under the arm of my rival defence and sighed with relief as my team mate caught it.

I did a half turn and swam back upwards, right past the defence, right up to near the surface. As I went, the ball was thrown back to me and I tucked it under my arm, preparing.

With a gasp, I broke free of the watery shield and kicked the ball upwards. I grinned, and did a backward flip in mid air, keeping my aim focused on the spinning blue Blitzball, waiting for it to make contact with my feet.

Suddenly, this light zoomed past me, crashing into the crowd behind. Screams filled the air, and I could feel a bitter taste in my mouth. Fear.

Somehow, my body managed to twist round in mid air and I clutched hold of the stone edge, my fingers digging into the stone for a better grip.

Pain racing through my digits, I was forced to let go. With a yell, I felt my body plummet all the way down to the ground, amidst the crowds of screaming people.

Ok....I wasn't killed, or even knocked out. I was badly winded though, and it took me several minutes before I caught my breath and was able to stand.

No.....it couldn't be. I stood on my tip toes, trying to see over the crowd. Yes....that familiar long platinum blond hair, the familiar pose he stood in, arms folded, leaning back against a wall. It was Zechs Marquees.

"Zechs!" I called, pushing my way through the now thinning crowd, "Hey, Zechs!"

He slowly turned to look at me, his piercing blue eyes just starring at me.

"What are you doing here?" I added breathlessly, the tight feeling in my chest from the fall returning. He'd disappeared round about 3 months ago, without warning. Heh, not that I minded. He could be so annoying at times. I wasn't even sure *who* he was exactly. Just.....after......dad disappeared, and mother........died, he'd always hung round, looking out for me. Like an older brother, when in fact our age was apart by what, two years? But he acted way mature than 19, let me tell you that. 19 pushing on 35 more like it.

"I came to see you" he replied in his quiet monotone, turning his heel and leaving. I sighed, and ran after him, struggling to keep up with his long strides.

"What?"

He ignored me and carried on. I paused after chasing him to catch my breath, when suddenly, this small kid appeared, looking suspiciously like one of the kids who'd been pestering me for my autograph earlier. She had long honey coloured hair and was wearing a white dress and hat. She also held a puppy in her arms.

At the same time........everything stopped. People froze in their running, and all I could do was gape at the scene around me. What the hell was going on?

"It begins" she said, in a gentle, but eerie voice. I turned back to her, and looked at her more closely. She was too pale to be real......

"Don't cry"

And as suddenly as she had appeared, she vanished. Chaos began running past me once more. I blinked, and looked round for her familiar white hue. Nothing.....where the hell did she go?! What was going on?!

I immediately scanned the crowds for Zechs. He was striding ahead, in the direction of the danger, whatever it was. I sighed and chased after him. He was gonna get killed one of these days, I swear it.

I caught up with him, resting my hands on my knees, trying to catch my breath again. My whole torso was still aching from the fall. Suddenly, this inhuman roar caused me to look upwards, my mouth dropping open as I did.

A huge......whale demon kind of thing was floating above Zanarkand, shooting these little shell things down at the road Zechs and I were stood on.

"We called it Sin" Zechs commented suddenly, his aqua eyes staring at the beast.

"Sin?" I repeated slowly, having no idea where Zechs got this name from.

Before I could think it over, hundreds of "shells" were shot around us, blocking our escape. Then, like eggs, the shells opened, revealing several small, winged monsters than crawled mercilessly towards us.

"Fiends? But they never come around here!" I exclaimed, looking over at Zechs. He grunted, and suddenly drew a scarlet sword from under his coat, offering it to me.

"A gift from your father"

Dumbfounded, I took the weapon and held it shakily in my grasp. My father's........ it had been so long........

I found it's comfortable possisition against my thigh and I looked ahead at the fiends. I'd fought them once or twice before, this should be a piece of cake.

"Don't bother going for all of them", Zechs reminding me, drawing his katana, "Just cut through the ones that are blocking our route"

I nodded, and he rushed forwards, taking out the left fiend in one hit. We managed to escape through the gap and take out the next two in only two hits.

Finally free, we ran across the uneven road, nearly tripping over the cracks. Well I did, Mr Perfect Marquees managed to avoid them with such grace. Was he human or what?

"Watch out" he suddenly yelled, and I drew up short, both of us only inches away from a huge towering fiend, that looked down at us as if we were mere bugs.

"I'm sorry" Zechs added in a half whisper, causing me to drop my battle stance and turn to look at him.

"Huh?"

Before I could reply, he grabbed me by the neck, and slowly brought me up into the air, my struggling doing nothing. He slowly walked over to the side of the road, which overlooked the poorer part of Zanarkand.

"This is it" he murmured softly, his angular face glowing from a nearby electrical fire, "This, is your story"

With that he swung me over the abyss and let go. The last thing I remembered was falling, then a immense bright light........

TBC.....

Oh boy, that really sucked didn't it? Please R&R if you have the time ^_^

Til next time........

Merry Christmas!
