Gundamflowne


Van gazed at the stars, he missed Hitomi, and he was really starting to wonder what kind of world she came from. He clutched at the energist he held.
" Well here I go" He murmured to himself, holding up the energist and letting the pillar of light in gulp him.
By a small campfire in the forest, Allen looked up from his sizzling fish, noticing the pillar of light reaching up into the heavens.
" Oh no" he exclaimed jumping up abruptly, " Van! Wait"
Selena, who was sitting by his feet watched meekly as her brother, raced through the bush.
"Allen..." She whined, jogging after her brother.
Merle, who was sitting atop the barn that held the escaflowne, gasped as she saw the great pillar of light rising from within the forest. And she recalled Vans words to her mind 'don't worry, I'll be back in awhile, just don't follow me' Merle leapt from her perch and raced of into the dark woods. There was no way he was leaving without her.
Van started to rise off the ground, and he closed his eyes in the blinding light.
Van smiled to himself he was actually going to the mystic mo..... "Ahhhhhh!" he screamed, as something grasped onto his leg tightly.
He looked down and found Allen trying desperately to pull him back down.
"Allen let go of me!!" he raged kicking at Allen's head with his free foot, but Allen just grabbed it to, pulling still harder.
" Van you're the King of Fanalia, you can't just disappear of the face of Gaea!"
" Grrrr! I'll do what I want! Now let me go!"
The two struggled, and Allen soon realized he to was lifting from the ground.
Selena came into the clearing, and let out a cry when she saw her brother floating away.
" Allen! You said you wouldn't leave me alone!" she cried slinging her arms around her brother's waist.
" No Selena! Let go! Please Selena" Allen urged starring helplessly down at her.
Selena fiercely shook her head, and held him tighter.
Merle burst into the clearing, and her head shot up at the rising figures, which were now just reaching the top of the tree line.
" You're not going to leave me behind!" She seethed, climbing, swiftly up a close by tree. Once at the top she leapt off, closing her arms firmly around Vans neck.
" Merle" Van snarled. " Get off!"
"Never" She replied resting her feet on Allen's head, but still holding onto Van.
"Merle!" Allen shrieked, get off my head!"
Merle just stuck out her tough at him.
And they all fought frantically with each other through the whole departure.
On the decent down to earth, they all stopped fighting to gaze in awe at their surroundings.
Once on the ground, the awkward pile of Fanalians untangled themselves from each other and stood up.
"Wow!" Merle gasped, "neato!"
Van looked hopefully around, but were he landed was different from the last time he had come, and there was definitely no Hitomi in site. He was on the same kind of surface, but, it wasn't the same, the other had many dotted lines on it, this had one. He scratched his head in disdain. And was aroused again when a distressful scream left Allen's mouth.
"Dilandau!!!"
Van spun on place, and noticed, a scared and stressed out dilly, looking around in a horror filled spasm.
" Were am I?" he whined falling to his knees. Then his head swiveled and gazed at the other three.
" Where have you taken me!" he choked out, holding back tears.
Van looked down at him, "you are on earth, or the Mystic Moon, if that sounds more familiar to you."
Dilandau starred at him, then slowly glanced around. " You speak the truth" he whispered more to himself then to Van. "But why are we here?"
"I've come to see Hitomi" Van replied blushing.
Dilandau seemed to be contemplating things to himself. Then he looked at Allen. "You're my brother, aren't you?"
Allen, who hadn't spoken since they'd arrived, nodded.
"I recall, living with you over the past few months" Dilandau said in an almost sane tone. " I won't hurt you, or anyone else... Promise" Dilandau said with unblinking eyes.
Everyone looked to Allen. Who nodded again, "Yes, I believe you brother" he answered almost in a whisper, and reached to help Dilandau up. "Were in a strange world, and should not fight amongst our selves"
"Allens right" Van nodded, "So lets keep our past behind us."
Merle, who had remained silent, suddenly screamed shrilly and ran off, the hard surface.
The others looked up and noticed two shining eyes, moving swiftly towards them. All screamed with terror and ran to stand with Merle, as the short gleaming eyed thing raced by, and in the faint light almost seemed to give off a metallic shine.
"What was that!" Allen questioned, watching as it disappeared over a small slope.
Van drew his sword, "I have no clue but let's find Hitomi, she'll know. I'm sure of it"
So together they walked off down a smaller tiled walk, made of the same substance.
They walked in silence, watching many more of the strange creature's zoom by, and lucky for them they didn't stop.
Around sunrise they were all getting a little weary, they've been walking all night.
"I'm pooped" Merle whined collapsing to the ground.
"The sun burns here... I like it" Dilandau said slyly eyeing Merle. "Are cats flammable?"
"AHHHHH!!! Lord Van!" Merle screamed hugging Vans legs, "he's going to cook me!"
"Dilandau!" Allen said sternly glaring at him.
"I was just asking" Dilandau huffed folding his arms across his chest.
"Ha ha ha ha" Van laughed out loud while shaking his head. "It's not everyday you see Dilandau do that"
"Grrrrrr!!" Merle snarled clenching Vans leg in her teeth.
"AHHHHHHH! MERLE!"
As they fought, Allen glanced back at the road, which the odd creatures seemed to run on.
And noticed that they almost looked man made, like melifs or something. While observing them one slowed and pulled onto the side of the road.
The odd humming sound died and the machine went still. Then there was a sudden clicking sound, and what seemed to be a door opened from it's side. And a fairly tall boy, a little younger then himself stepped out. Allen drew back, and placed his hand on his sword's handle.
"Who are you?" he asked keeping his voice calm and steady.
The man starred at him, then started laughing, "Aren't you guys a little late, Halloween was 7 months ago."
"Huh?" They all replied in unison, starring at him blandly.
"Um any way, My names Duo Maxwell, do guys need a ride, you look pretty beat." He gestured pointing to the vehicle behind him.
They all starred at him, totally confused.
"Do you know a girl named Hitomi?" Van asked hopefully.
Duo shook his head, "Sorry, why you lost?"
"Yes actually, see were from this place called Gaea, it's an invisible planet orbiting this earth, and we wanna visit a friend of ours, could you help us find her?" Allen questioned, loosening his stiff posture.
Duo starred hard at them, they seemed dead serious about what they were saying. "You guys are an odd bunch, but sure I'll help you, you can all come with me, I'm heading to my friend Quatre's house, he won't mind if I bring company"
The Fanalians looked at each other, and finally all agreed they could use some help. They all followed Duo back to his car.
And after, learning how to wear a seat belt and where you can get in and sit Duo started the horse less cart, and they were off.
"Wow, what a neat machine" Merle exclaimed looking out the window at the passing scenery.
"Wow, you guys are really from another world aren't you?" Duo asked watching as they all looked in amazement at his cars design.
"You didn't believe us?" Van questioned tilting his head.
"I'm still not sure what to believe" Duo said with a laugh.
Van just starred at him in disbelief.
Meanwhile in the back seat, Dilandau was eyeing the gizmo with a smoking stick on it. "Hmmm" he moaned, pressing on it. The thing went down, and he watched it intently. Then it sprang back causing Dilandau to jump in fright. He eyed it intently, and then decided to pull on it. When it was out he looked in it and saw smoldering embers, "Heeeee!" He squealed watching it intently.
And back in front, Van was fiddling with knobs and things. He got to the door part and noted the long slim black thing. Curiousity over took him and he pulled it. The door burst open, and out went Van.
"AHHHHHHHH!!! What the hell!!" Duo screamed, slamming on the breaks, causing the cigar lighter to burn Dilandaus forehead.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! He screamed in pain.
Duo jumped out of the car and searched desperately for the black hairded man.
"Oh God!! Where is he!!" Duo said becoming frantic.
Van gentle floated down in front of him.
"What's wrong?" he asked tilting his head.
"AHHHHHH! This is to much!" Duo screamed in fright stepping away. "Now I know you really are from another world.
Van gave him a sad look, drawing in his wings, and was about to speak when he noticed a high long wailing from within the cart.
Allen quickly jumped out of the car dragging a screaming Dilandau, Merle followed.
"Lord Van! Are you alright?" She asked while checking him for bruises.
"Fine, what happened to Dilandau?"
Allen held Dilandau down, and tried desperately to stop him from crying.
"It burns!!" Dilandau yelled, trying fiercely to get up.
"We need a healer" Allen turned in hopes to Duo, who was hyperventilating.
Duo shook himself and ran to his car to fetch the first aid kit. And returned with some rubbing alcohol and a gauze patch.
Which he applied to Dilandaus burn.
Dilandau let out a shrill scream, and Allen gave Duo a dangerous glare, "What did you put on him!" he demanded threateningly, Duo gave a quick explanation which made Allen feel slightly better.
And in a short while they were back in the car resuming their course.
This time Duo had taken precautions, by first removing the cigar lighters, then locking the doors. Ordering them sternly not to touch anything.
They pretty much rode in silence, not again daring to touch the interesting little knobs and buttons. Dilandau's continuous whimpering made the only noises.
Finally after around a half-hour, Duo pulled his car into the driveway of a large castle like house.
"Is your friend a king?" Van asked almost hopefully.
"No, why would he be?" Duo asked wonderingly.
"Because I'm king of Fanalia, and my castle is only a bit larger then your friends house."
"YOU'RE A KING!!!!?" Duo screamed drawing back, "Man things keep getting weirder and weirder, this has go to be some sort of nightmare."
The whole of the Fanalians looked confused.
"We are all real people" Merle said suddenly, cocking an eyebrow at 'em.
" No your not, this is weird, to weird, Quatre!" Duo yelled running up the front porch and through the front door.
"Do we follow him?" Allen asked stepping out of the car.
"I guess" Van answered stepping beside Allen.
"That guys crazy," Merle said casually while cleaning off her paws.
Dilandau stepped in beside Allen, still holding his forehead and reapeting "it burns" to himself over and over again.
The four of them walked up to the front door, knocked, then heard a stressed scream from inside.
"It's them!!! I told you they were real, there freaks I tell you!!"
And they were sure it was Duo saying that.
Still, they waited, and in a minute, a man the same age as Duo, with short scruffy blond hair opened the door.
"Hi", Quatre said with a kind nod, "Come in please don't wait outside"
"No!!!" They heard Duo scream from somewhere in the house.
But Quatre just ignored him and showed them in.
He brought them into the living room were two others sat.
"Well let's introduce ourselves, kay?" Quatre asked the bleak faced men.
"This is Trowa," Quatre gestured to a boy on the couch, with long bangs that hung over half his face.
Trowa raised a hand and nodded.
"And this is Heero" he said pointing to the other boy, which oddly resembled a brown haired Van.
"Hmm" Heero replied with absolutely no expression.
"And you are?" Quatre asked turning to Van and the others.
"I'm Van, King of Fanalia"
"I'm Merle"
"Allen Shezar, knight of kaly"
"It burns, it burns, it burns, it....." Dilandau said in a half dazed kinda trance.
"He's Dilandau" Allen answered for him. "Or actually my sister Selena"
This Quatre glared at.
"Long story" Van swiftly added.
Quatre smiled and gestured them to sit.
