Warnings: Bloody violence
Scythedwing: Yeah my turn to right again. This will be my master piece.
Gami1x2: it's a little all over the place.
Shinii2x1: well maybe if you knew how to read gami you wouldn't think so I like it, Duo kicks ass in this.
Scythedwing: hey so does Heero.
Chapter Ten: Bloody Pirates!
When they got back to their ship, it looked like more of the crew had survived the attack from Dermail's crew. Wufei, on the way back to the ship, had explained how he had only been on the ship to take Duo and Quatre, not hurt anyone. And had over heard a conversation with Dermail, about Quatre and Trowa being on the boat. He said how everything just went down hill from there. But know there ship was moving with men and women. Heldi ran up to Heero as soon as she saw him.
"When Rashid returned I thought you guys had been hurt or something. But he said that he was going to prepare the ship to set sail for when you returned. Everything's ready. And your men started coming back on board just a little while ago. Though it would seem that I have lost Zechs and Treize." Heldi said in a panicked voice. Heero looked around the ship. He had sent the two to find the crew; they had brought back Relena, Heldi, and Pagan. And since then Heero has not seen them.
"This isn't good. Treize and Zechs are some of my top fighters." That's when Heero noticed that there where men and women on his ship he has not seen before. "Who are they?" Heero asked. Wufei stepped forward.
"My crew. Dorothy sent word for them to meet us here. The Wing Zero is bigger then Nataku, it'll support more. And I want to help you four get the prophecy fulfilled so that I can get back to my own life." Wufei said. Heero nodded. He two wanted to be done with this already. He had not had Duo with him for six days and he had already gone insane. Hopefully once this was done, he could just take the braided full to some deserted island and screw him silly. Heero shock his head.
"Then there is a battle"
"Heero!" Heero turned to see Zechs and Treize running us the boarding planks, and behind them where….ELVES. Treize ran up to Heero barely breathing hard.
"We thought we could use the help. Heero, this is Lady Une, head of the House of Kushrenada. She took over when we went to see. This is Solo, Master Warrior of the House of Kushrenada. And this one here is Meriemaia, Queen of the Elves of El-One"
"El-One? But that's days away from here." Trowa said.
"I was here because I heard that Une was going to have a surprise for me. And it seems that a good bloody battle between pirates is a good enough surprise then any.' She said with a smile.
"Treize I thought"
"Yes I know, but I gave my loyalty to the Wing Zero and to you, Captain Heero. And who might this be?" Treize asked, looked at Wufei. Wufei rolled his eyes and the arrogant man and walked away. Dorothy and Catherine following him.
"No time. We have a battle to prepare for." Heero said. "Let's get out of the bay and met them in open waters"
Duo and Heero stood on the Quarter Deck watching as the large white ship sailed closer to them.
"So who are they?" Duo asked.
"The White Fang." Heero said. "There are a lot of experienced pirates on that ship. Some with names and backgrounds already written into what will become history books"
"Oh, like who?" Duo asked.
"Trant, destroyed a few ships of the royal navy. And got away. Quinze, killed the King and destroyed most of El-Five a few years back. And Septum, the most annoying man on this planet all hands down." Heero said very seriously. Duo laughed and hugged Heero tightly.
"Oh is that all." He joked, knowing full well that the ship and the people they where about to fight could kill them. But Duo had Faith. Not in god. But in Heero. "Yeah and I bet they are all old men like Tsubarov"
"Yeah, looks like you'll have to skin, gut, and turn them all to ash." Heero said gently kissing Duo's lips. Duo smiled.
"Are you worried?" Duo asked.
"I have Death as a lover and you're asking if I'm worried about a couple of old degenerates." Heero said with a wicked smile. "No I'm not worried about that. But you know I am kind of worried at how long this'll take. I've got to reclaim what's mine after what Tsubarov did."
"Yeah I agree. We need to 'undo' that, and 'redo' our own little…"Duo lost what he was going to say when a cannon was fired and a splash was heard not that far away.
"Those bastards won't even wait for us to get closer"
"There scared." Duo said with a smile.
"Don't fire back until where closer!" Heero ordered. "Anchor here and wait." Heero and Duo left the deck to the main deck and helped prepare. Cannons where loaded, pistols where ready, swords where drawn, and bows where stung.
Treize, Zechs, Une, Solo, and Mariemaia, went up to the Quarter Deck. Aiming there ready arrows at the ship. There swords strapped to their sides and ready for battle.
Relena, Heldi, Pagan, and Ray along with a good number of the crew stood ready at the canons.
Sally, Quatre, Trowa, and Duo stood on the main deck, swords and pistols ready for battle.
Wufei, Dorothy, Catherine, and his crew stood waiting in the back, swords drawn.
Rashid and the Maganac Corps where spread around, all with rifles, daggers, and swords.
Heero walked around the decks, making sure everyone was ready, that everything was ready. Making sure that the ship was prepared for the biggest battle the sea had ever seen.
Everyone's breath was slow, but there hearts where beating fast. They where shaking with fear and adrenaline, and their hands where sweating. But when the time came none of them faltered for a moment.
The White Fang pulled right along side the Wing Zero. There was a minute of silence before all hell broke loose. And I mean that.
(Duo)
Duo immediately took to the air and rushed the White Fang. With his sword drawn he cut threw a few men's ropes who where swinging to the Wing Zero, a few fell into the water, but one hit the Wing Zero's railing with a sickening crunch.
There were arrows flying over head and shot down a few men above Duo. He landed on the main sip and looked back the see the elves re loading there bows. Duo quickly turned back around and swung his sword upward threw a man, and then swung back across to catch another in the side.
He ran forward and met up with a few more men, slicing them down with little effort. He easily dodged their swords and disarmed them when they pulled there pistols.
There was a shot and then sheering pain in Duo's shoulder blades. He turned to see that there was blood running through his black feathers. He charged at the man who had shot him. The man pulled out his own sword and blocked Duo's. The man pushed Duo with as much force as he could, pushing Duo onto his back, who in turned rolled out of the way of his next attack and got to his feet, rushing at the man again. But the man blocked again. Duo took a step back and thought for a moment before smiling.
"You're pretty good there." He said. The older man spat out a laugh. "But not good enough." Duo said, causing the man's eyes to widen slightly. Duo threw his sword away from him.
"Idiot boy." The man said charging at the unarmed Duo. There was a two yells from the Wing Zero as the man's sword descended on Duo.
"You're the idiot to challenge Death." Duo said. The man realized that his sword was blocked by a long silver pole, lined with gold carvings. At the end was a large curved blade. A scythe. Duo smiled and pushed the man away, swinging the scythe with one hand away from him and slicing threw the man's midsection. He turned and attacked more men.
/One down three more to go./ Duo thought as Quinze lay in a pool of his own blood. Duo jumped into the air and eyes on Duke Dermail, when pain shot threw both his wings. Causing Duo to fall out of the sky and land on a plank, unconscious. Half of Duo's body was hanging off over the water.
(Trowa)
Trowa made quick work of the men around him. Shooting them down quickly, and moving on to the next. When one pistol ran out of bullets, he'd have another ready.
One by one they fell at Trowa's feet.
When he finally ran out of bullets, he threw his gun at a man who was rushing him with a sword, knocking the man to the ground easily. He pulled out his sword and sliced threw the man. Once that was done he sheathed his sword and took the mans pistol, and continued to shoot down as many as he could. (1)
When he heard Quatre yell something behind him he turned to see Duo almost struck down. He turned back to his own fight when he saw the scythe appear from no where. It wasn't until he heard Quatre yell again, that his attention was drawn to Duo falling and landing hard on the plank on the other side of the White Fang, slipping slowly into the water. In a hurried attempt he shot more people away, trying to make his way to Duo. But there seemed to be even more men now, and Trowa found himself once again fighting with his sword.
(Quatre)
At first Quatre stayed back, not knowing if he should fight or heal the people who where getting wounded. He decided that it would be safer for everyone if he helped get ride of the enemy first.
Quatre brought his hands into fists, opened them again, and then closed them around the handles of two large curved blades. (2) Quatre then proceeded to Attack the enemies.
Quatre turned around after cutting someone down, (with apologies) just in time to see Duo almost cut down.
"Duo!" but the braided both blocked the sword with his Scythe before anything could happen. Quatre sighed. He was worried to much. If anything he knew Duo could take care of himself. Quatre was about to rush forward to help Trowa when He saw Duo Shot in both wings buy two people, and fall from the sky, and land hard on the plank. He yelled again.
This time Quatre rushed forward to help his brother. Only to get caught up in a battle with Dorothy and Catherine.(3)
(Heero)
Heero gave the call for attack and rushed forward with his men. He pulled out two swords and begun bring down people left to right. He quickly made his way threw the fighting men. Bodies trailing where he went and he soon found himself on the White Fang. And ahead of him was Trant.
Heero rushed forward and jumped in the air, bringing his swords down onto Trant. Trant looked up just in time to block the two swords, but Heero wasted no time in spinning around and slicing Trant into three pieces with his sword. Upon doing so he saw the sword falling fast on Duo. He did yell out but calmed down when he saw Duo's scythe appear.
Heero turned back to his own battles. Fighting anyone who dare stand in his way. Heero spun, kicks, jumped, punched, dodged, and sliced. Never once getting touched and never once missing his target. Blood was splattered all over him. And his breath was starting to get heavy, but he kept going. It was almost over. With how many men he had killed, he knew there couldn't be that many more left. He had just witnessed Duo kill off Quinze, and he had Trant. He did a quick look around and found Wufei fighting against Septum, soon bring him down. So that only left the Captain of the White Fang, Duke Dermail.
Something black flew into Heero's eye sight. Duo. He watched Duo and saw that the boy was going after Dermail. Heero rushed forward too.
Suddenly Duo's wings collapsed and the boy called out in pain and fell from the sky, landing on the plank. Heero ran faster.
Duo slipped from the plank and into the water below. Duke Dermail laughed and watched at the unconscious boy slipped under the water. He was about to turn around, but a sudden pain in his stomach got his attention. He looked down and found two sword tips sticking out of his stomach, blood gushing down his body. Duke Dermail looked at Heero and collapsed to the ground. Heero ran to the plank and took no thought in diving off it and into the water.
Heero looked around in the sea water, blinking rapidly as the water burned his eyes slightly. Just below him was Duo falling into the depth. Heero swam quickly down and reached Duo.
Heero pulled Duo into his arms and started up ward as quickly as he could.
When Heero broke the surface he was farced back under by pistol shots, on hitting his arms, the other his leg.
Wufei say the shooters. Wufei pitched back his arm and threw his sword towards on of the men, sinking his sword into the man's ear. He then took a fallen mans swords and chucked it at the other man, sinking the sword into the man's throat and out the top of his head.
Wufei rushed to the railing and saw Heero break the surface again, with Duo in his arms.
"Wufei throw down a rope." Heero called up. Wufei pointed to a board in the water, sticking out from the side of the ship with a ladder leading up the side.
"Can you make it to that?" Wufei called back. Heero nodded and swam to the board, ignoring the pain in his arms and legs. Heero laid Duo on the board and pulled himself up.
Quatre and Trowa made it to the railing and looked over with Wufei. Quatre then ran over to the ladder and jumped over, catching himself in the air with his wings.
"Heero you can't carry Duo up the ladder, I'll take him." Quatre said. Hero handed Duo to Quatre. Quatre carried Duo to the deck and laid him down. Heero pulled himself over the railing and collapsed on the ground next to Duo. He sat up and looked at the battle in front of them. It was done.
His men where hurt, some badly, but they where all okay. But the white Fangs men where all gone. All dead.
"Thank god that's over." Quatre said. Heero looked at him and nodded. Quatre was covered in little cuts, and a few bruises. Trowa was bleeding badly from a head wound. And Wufei…well he had seen better days. Duo's wings, and a bump on his head was the only damage he had received. And other then the gun shot wounds, which were bleeding badly, Heero was otherwise unharmed. Duo sat up quickly and coughed up some water. He took a few breaths and looked at Heero. Heero smiled.
"You seriously need to stop scaring me like that." Heero said.
"People seriously need to stop knocking me out"
"That would have been the landing on the plank." Heero returned.
"Oh well in that case I hate this boat." Duo said. Heero laughed and pulled Duo into a hug, which Heero returned.
"It's over now, so this boats mine." Heero said. Duo laughed.
"Let's burn it or give it away." Heero shook his head with a small smile and helped Duo to his feet. "Heero your leg, …and you arm." Duo cried out.
"It's okay." Quatre said placing a hand on Heero's shoulder. The wounds disappeared. "When we were in the mansion earlier I realized I could heal on the spot. Duo did you know that we are no twenty years old." Quatre said. Duo smiled.
"Yeah I nearly forgot." Duo said.
"Wait I thought your birthdays where in a few months." Trowa said.
"No, another lie to keep people from ruining the prophecy. We were born with the new year." Duo explained.
"Oh."
"Let's go clean up the ship and get away from here." Heero said, they all agreed.
The ship was all cleared up in a matter of hours. The bodies where taken care of any way.
Heero gave the White Fang to Rashid and the Maganac Corp for there help during the battle. Rashid thanks Heero and requested that He and the Maganac Corp sail under Heero's flag. Heero agreed and the Maganac Corp where soon well on there way back to Angel Bay.
Wufei, and his crew also said there good byes. Though Wufei too asked his he could fly Heero's flag with his own. Heero also agreed to this. It would be for the best if they where partners, and had also promised to fly Nataku's Flag with his own.
Sally had one hell of a night patching up wounds, but when Quatre came to help her everyone was cleaned up in an hour and Sally was sent with Wufei.
"You two should be together. He did come looking for you Sally." (4). Quatre said sweetly.
"Thank you, and you guys take care. We may have peace now, but fighting will still occur"
"Where every treasure may sit, you'll always find a sword and a pistol." Heero said. Taking is hat off to Sally and Wufei.
That night a huge feast was made. (sushi anyone) For the braver His crew had shown and for respects to the guest. Une, Solo, and Mariemaia, left early the next morning to return to there previous engagements, while Heero and Duo proceeded in there own, and did NOT show up for there departure. In fact no one could remember Quatre and Trowa either…wait a minute, where was Treize and Zechs.
"How, rude." Une said leading the other two away form the ship. Solo and Mariemaia laughing like children behind her.
And finally, at mid day, the Wing Zero sailed into the horizon, carrying with it Angels and one very frustrated Demon.
"Duo! Come on!" Heero cried out, as a black feather trailed over his exposed stomach.
"I like it when your restrained…" Duo purred.
Yeah!!!! One last part to go. If your not into Lemons then don't read. I'm going for another one. NO QUATRE AND TROWA IN THIS ONE! Sorry.
(1) Trowa likes amo.
(2) You know, the weapon Sandrock has, yeah, well I'm lazy and didn't want to look up how to spell them, I know what they are I just don't know how to spell it. Lol.
(3) No not against each other.
(4) Wufei said that he was looking for Sally earlier.
