Chapter 11 - Beginning The Rescue

Only a few more chapters till my story is complete. I like it when a story is finished. My whole story is written out as short notes of a piece of paper I've taped to my computer. Don't worry, it's only notes. So I can tweak it a bit...I tweaked this chapter too. Actually, I added a lot to the final chapters, and the last chapter, all without using the notes. ;; Also, I'd like to point out that if the who battleness sucks, that my sister and fellow author read it and said it was fine so it's not my fault! Ok, Reviews now.

Zer0 Touma - One, don't call me honey. Two, as long as you AREN'T just skimming the story, it's alright. As long as you like it I am fine. You could not like it, but if you still reviewed, I'd still kinda be happy...I guess...

Death, The Destroyer - O.O New reviewer? Yay! Thank you for reviewing! Neat name btw.

Angels-Of-Darkness - You know, I don't think you ever answered my question of whether there was two of you or not...Oh well. Thanks. The laptop came yesterday, but it's nothelping me one little bit....It' hard to do anything on this thing.....and it doesn'taccept floppy discs! I am sooooo glad Iemailed my stories to myself....or this story ould be as good as discontinued...Thanks for the review!

KaguyaEvenstar - You're really trying to get me to spill aren't you? About the "Nicol and Maria are getting married!" thing. Dearka was making a joke about it because Nicol likes Maria. I'm not saying that they won't get married! I mean...might get married....I mean...Oh! You made me spill it! If you understand my babble you'll get it....-sigh-

Asga - Yes, I do update fast...

Reb :: It's only because you've written the whole story!

And you've read it too, so no complaining. Ok, more reviews...I have a lot -happy-

Bee Bee - Again, I only update so fast because I already wrote the whole story. In fact, I am writing a Naruto fic that I MIGHT post when I'm done with it....It's almost complete at the moment. and I have other Gundam SEED fics about half complete that were written back before Nicol died that I haven't posted...I'll stop now...Thanks for calling it awesome...

KariHP - -chokes- Don't tell anybody else that, ok!? I'm not repeating it and I will not discuss it anymore. -has on a determined look- -relaxes a bit- Ok, onto other things. Dearka didn't hurt Yzak, he just kinda....pulled him...or tried to pull him off of Kira. In fact...I think he got hurt instead when he fell on the ground.. As for the powers, yes, you will have to wait to find out what they will be.

Shin368 - Another new reviewer? Oh this is a great day! -notices how weird she sounds- Some days...you can REALLY tell how much sugar I've had....two bowls of ice cream for a good report card, provided by the school -smiles- and my friend, NOT boyfriend, Nick bought me a giant KitKat bar! (did I spell KitKat wrong?) Then I got home and ate some really expensive and delicious tasting ham...I think it was ham....-smiles- -blinks as she realizes what she's doing- Whoops...sorry...I got sidetracked. Thanks for the review! I hope you review again and I hope you enjoy this chapter! ;;


Yzak turned Kira's head from side to side, then he reached in Kira's pocket and took out the last charm, the one he hadn't given away. He smirked.

"This connects you to your friends. Now it will harm you, as I harm your friends." he took out a small bottle, only about as big as a computer mouse. It was filled 3/4 of the way with a blackish purple liquid. He opened the bottle, dropped a little bit of the stuff on it, then tied it around Kira's neck.

"What was that?" Kira asked, glaring.

"Poison." Yzak had begun to talk like he was having a conversation with his friend. "You see, it is best when used on things that bind. That charm binds you and your friends together. The more they get hurt, the more you get hurt." he smiled evilly.

"Big deal." Kira tugged at his arms again, the feeling in his limbs had come back and his arms were beginning to hurt.

"Yes, very big deal." Yzak turned and walked from the room, whistling softly.


"Hello? Are you home?" Nicol asked, landing in front of the house. Maria ran out to meet him.

"Good Morning Nicol! Cagalli! Athrun! Lacus! Let's go!" she called into the house. Cagalli was there in a flash, followed shortly after by Athrun and Lacus.

"Good Morning." Nicol greeted. He picked Lacus up, and Cagalli picked up Athrun.

"So. Do we even know where he is?" Cagalli asked. Nicol nodded.

"My source-" he gave them a look that said 'don't ask' "Said he was in the dungeon of Yzak's guard's housing. See, more guards, less interferences." he explained.

"So? Let's hurry and get there already!" Cagalli snapped, nearly dropping Athrun.

"Over there." Maria pointed. "It's Yzak's 'palace.' His guards must live nearby, right?" she asked.

"Yes, right next to it actually. See that long building there? That's it." they landed next to the building, which was on the right side of Yzak's place.

"Ok, we can either knock them out as they come by or-"

"Yah!" Cagalli and Lacus had already jumped in. The guards nearest them were down and out. The others that were outside began to run over. Athrun and Nicol sweat-dropped.

"Or we can do it that way....." Nicol laughed nervously. "Well, let's go." he began knocking out black winged angels too. Athrun and Maria joined soon afterward.

5 minutes later, Cagalli was brushing off her hands.

"That was easy." she opened the front door, only to by shot at by 3 arrows. She hit one, breaking it in two, dodged the second, and mostly dodged the third. It grazed her left arm.


"Ah." Kira looked at his right arm. Just above the elbow, or just below to him, a cut appeared. A small line of blood was there, it wasn't a serious cut.


"Oh man." Cagalli wiped the blood off as her mom knocked out the three guys that had shot the arrows. They fell to the ground in a heap. Five more were headed for them.

"You guys keep going, I'll hold them off." Maria assured them, they opened a door to their left and went inside.

"It's.....really dark in here....." Athrun commented.

"No duh. If you're scared, then you're more of a wuss than I thought." Cagalli said, waving her hand in the dark, searching it for some kind of light switch.

A low whistle-like sound was heard and light appeared. They turned around to see Nicol was now holding a green fire in his right hand, and was removing his left hand from his mouth, which he had used to make the sound.

"How'd you do that?" Lacus asked, inspecting the fire from a safe distance.

"All angels have powers...." glare from Cagalli. "But some just don't have them yet. Mine is to create fire, cold or otherwise." He put Lacus's hand in the fire, she giggled.

"It tickles....it's not hot at all..." she began putting both her hands in it and smiled.

"Ok. Time to keep moving." Athrun turned Lacus to face the front and the began to walk downstairs.

Arrows shot from the walls. Cagalli and Nicol were able to get the four of them on the ground in time to miss being shot, Nicol had a cut on his cheek.


"Wha?" Kira noticed a cut on his cheek appeared. "Is this the poison? My friends are in danger!" He struggled to remove himself from the wall, but it seemed he actually was a butterfly on display, glass and all, though there was no actual glass there.

"Enjoying yourself White Wing?" Yzak asked, entering the dungeon with Dearka close behind. "Ah, I see your friends have arrived. Perfect." He went over to a sheet, pulled it, and it fell off, revealing a control panel like thing. "Squadron A, advance towards Sector 6." he commanded, several 'yes sir's were heard.

Dearka sat down next to another panel, the one with the light switch on it, which was actually a light-button.


"We've got to be careful." Athrun muttered.

"No duh!" Cagalli snapped, she stood up and began walking forward again. The others followed. "What the?" A fleet of black winged angels was at the foot of the stairs.

"Well, there are more black winged angels than I thought...." Nicol sweat-dropped, then became serious. "We've got to go right through them." They walked right into the crowd.

The black winged angels attacked, Athrun drew out a knife from his boot. He'd gotten the boots from Maria, they were Kira's dad's before he left. He'd also gotten the dagger from Maria, she called it 'basic protection.' He proceeded to slash as many of them as possible.

"Ah!" Lacus, who was using only a metal pole she'd found outside, was pinned against the wall, the pole about 5 feet away.

"Lacus!" Athrun yelled, running over as one of the angels slashed her side. A very faint cry was heard in the distance. "Kira?"

"Hurry and get through them!" Nicol called while throwing fire at them. Most of these angels seemed to have the same power, creating weapons, though each one had a different weapon....mostly.

"Take this!" Lacus yelled, sticking the pole near the ground and bringing it up swiftly, hitting several of the angels, all males, between the legs. The all fell over. "Yes!"

"Great use of resources, Lacus!" Cagalli cheered at her attack. Lacus blushed, then a rock hit her on the forehead.

"Ow." was her simple response.

"Ha. Squadron A. Leader, Amo Musagi. What a joke. He got knocked out near the beginning." came a voice as a man with purple hair and 1/3 purple and black wings. Behind him were about 20 angels. "I am Julius, leader of Squadron B. You took out Squadron C out front, and that woman in the front is probably taking on Squadron D all by herself. But Maria is a very capable angel." he laughed.

"Show some respect. Maria is 60 years older than you, Julius." Nicol spat. "You are a very low angel, to work for Yzak."

"Low? Soon I will be Yzak's 2nd in command!" he declared. "I'll push that moron Dearka off his high horse, you watch." he threw another rock, which soared over Nicol's shoulder, then Athrun caught it.

"Well, are we going to fight? Or just stand here talking?" Cagalli stepped up, a pipe, like Lacus's, in hand.

"Alright then." he signaled his troops, they attacked. CLANG, 3 downed by Lacus, using the same attack as before.

"Alright! I'm kinda good at this." She cheered.

"Lacus! Don't get cocky!" Athrun yelled at her. She opened her eyes and ducked.

"What's with all the rocks!" she asked as a pile of rocks hit the wall and bounced back, hitting her in various places on the back. "Ow!" She glared at the rocks.

"Julius can create anything out of rock." Nicol answered. No one heard Kira, cause he only winced in pain.

"Correct Nicol. Tell me, who is your source? Who is here, behind the scenes, giving you your information?" He asked.

"Like I'd tell you! You're my enemy!" Nicol threw a fireball at Julius, who dodged.

"Stop playing games Nicol. I'm stronger than when we dueled all those years ago!" He created hundreds of rocks, and pelted them at Nicol, who dodged most of them, and got hit by about 1/5. A short cry of pain.

"Are they torturing him?" Cagalli asked when she heard it.

"It's possible. Let's hurry up." Athrun answered, Lacus nodded.

Lacus swung her pole as hard as she could to the left as an angel came up next to her, she hit him in the face. "Oops....sorry....wait...why am I apologizing?"

The angel then took out a small knife, like a kitchen knife only sharper, and stabbed Lacus in the right leg. Both hers and Kira's yells could be heard. Nicol stopped moving. He then stood up and created a stream of fire that blasted at Julius. Julius's overconfidence blinded him, he created a wall of stone.

"A simple wall won't stop me Julius." Nicol added more force to the fire, blasting through the wall and frying Julius. "Take out the last few Cagalli. Athrun, take care of Lacus. I'm gonna finish with Julius." He walked over to the crispy-fried Julius and held his hand to Julius's throat.

"What do you want goodie-goodie?" Julius coughed.

"You left yesterday. Rumor was you were on an errand for Yzak. What were you delivering?"

"Heh, I'll never tell." Julius was laying against the wall. Not only were his wings black, but now....he was too. Nicol tightened his grip on Julius's neck.

"Was it a binding poison?" he asked in a threatening voice. Julius laughed. "So, that's what it is."

"I never said anything. I could be laughing at your stupidity." Julius had on a sick smile.

"Say your prayers Julius. I should burn you alive." Nicol made his hand heat up, Julius squealed. "Some major angel you are." He stood up from the now unconscious Julius and walked over to the others.

"So? What'd you get from him?" Cagalli asked.

Athrun was helping Lacus to walk without using her left leg. He'd pulled the knife out and had poorly bandaged it using part of his shirt. He himself had a few cuts and bruises, Lacus was the same, but with the knife wound. Cagalli had a lot of little cuts and a few bruises. Nicol only had bruises from the rocks.

"Yzak's definitely torturing Kira." glares from all. "But not in the usual way. He's using a binding potion. Meaning that whenever we feel pain, so does Krylancelo." He kept switching names.

"So that's why when Lacus was stabbed, Kira yelled too..." Athrun muttered, supporting Lacus's weight too. Nicol nodded.

"Come on. We should hurry. I'm pretty sure that it's just down this hallway." He pointed to a hallway.


Dearka had begun to press buttons on his panel. The lights kept going on and off, as well as the locks on doors around Yzak's castle and this dungeon. Yzak, who had just finished keying something in, now flipped around.

"Dearka! Will you stop messing around! Turn the lights on and act like a soldier!" he commanded. Dearka rolled his eyes, looked sympathetically over at a now unconscious Kira, and turned to lights on.

"Whatever." He walked past Yzak, who had turned back around, and stood next to Kira.

"Now. The traps are set. I hope those humans grow wings.....or they're in trouble." he grinned.

Dearka glanced at Kira. Blood was coming from his leg wound. Dearka wondered who had been stabbed. He dangled a key in front of Kira, but he didn't wake up. So he prodded Kira on the forehead with the key. Kira winced, he had a bruise there, and opened his eyes.

"Shh..." Dearka showed Kira the key, who didn't seem too enthused. He then unlocked the cuffs at Kira's feet, took the stakes out of the tips of Kira's wings, and then unlocked the cuffs at his hands. Kira fell limply from the wall. Dearka quickly got beneath him, and Kira landed on top of him. "Come on Kira, wake up." he shook Kira by the shoulders, then got out from underneath him.

Dearka sighed inwardly, Kira wasn't moving any time soon. So he sat Kira up next to the wall.....he slid down. Kira didn't seem to want to cooperate. So Dearka laid Kira down next to the pillar he'd been pinned against. Kira didn't seem to have any complaints, and now he seemed to be sleeping....with a lot of blood and bruises. Dearka smirked and then stood in front of Kira, to hide him from view....even if only a little.


Chapter done! The "tweakedness" for this chapter from my notes was that I'd never planned for Dearka to remove Kira from the wall. But I did plan for him to lazily press buttons on that panel. Reb thought it was funny, me too. But I think it was less funny after I wrote it. And I'm not good at battle scenes, so don't hurt me.

-Hurt her. Hurt her.-

I see how much you care.

-I bet you do...-
