Author's note-hi remember me, the person who constantly begs for feedback. It would be nice. Well anyway here is chapter three. I'll say again that I DO NOT own Gundam Wing. I own my character and the Lyrisica and Sealana. I own things that I create. But if you ask really nice I could be persuaded to let you borrow…
Chapter III
The Warrior of Fire
Duo Maxwell had just returned home from Quatre's and already he knew something was wrong. He did not know what it was, but a distinct smell hung in the air, it was the smell of blood.
Duo ran to Hilde's room and saw that the door was opened. The smell of blood worsened. Upon entering the room he saw then the battered form of his best friend.
"Hilde!" Dou yelled. He was at her side in a moment. She was bleeding profoundly from many different wounds, and on her neck there were numerous puncture marks. Duo called her name again and this time she stirred a bit.
"D…Duo…?" she said. She recognized his voice, but she couldn't see him; Hilde looked over towards the source of the voice with sightless bloody eyes. There were scores a crossed them and she was blinded. Deep gashes graced the rest of her face as well as the rest of her body.
"What happened?" Duo asked gently. She related to him the entire story as best as she could. Vampires had come, and the vampires had hurt his Hilde. Rage seized control over him, as it never had before. He felt his skin become as hot as fire, and Duo realized that it was aflame in reality. His entire body had burst into an inferno, and yet he was unharmed.
It withdrew as quickly as it had come. Duo now felt the weight of scarlet draconic wings. He gently picked up his Hilde and flew off. He was to upset and angered at that moment to realize what had just happened to him, or to realize what he really was. All the warrior of fire cared about at that particular moment was getting Hilde to the hospital.
Duo flew the whole way to the emergency room. He kicked open the door and yelled for a doctor. People gasped and pointed upon seeing his wings, but Duo did not care. Nor did he even really notice. Worry had switched over to uncontrollable anger. The moment he knew that Hilde was in good hand he left the hospital. He went to the place he knew he might get some answers, Duo headed strait to where he knew where Quatre would be.

Quatre was talking to the girl, Calyris Meiji she had introduced herself as, when Duo cam into the room. Quatre had never seen him so furious before. He seemed to have flames in his eyes, and a moment later Quatre saw that they were there in reality. His friend also had scarlet draconic wings.
"What's wrong?" Quatre asked him.
"I came home and Hilde had been, she's in the hospital now. I want those things that did this to her, and I think your new friend knows exactly what happened to her!" Duo said. Calyris turned her attention to Duo.
"This is our warrior of Fire?" Calyris said.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Duo said. The wings disappeared inside of him, but flames still danced in his eyes. Quatre beckoned for him to sit down, and Duo reluctantly obeyed.
Both Quatre and Calyris relayed the story of the warriors to Duo. Duo only half believed all the things they said. He remained silent though throughout the entire thing. As soon as they were done talking Duo came in with his two cents.
"They'll pay for what they did to her. If being one of these "warriors" means that I will have a shot at revenge then I will gladly accept this…role "destiny" has given me," Duo said. He got up and began to leave.
"Duo wait!" Calyris called after him. He paused.
"Your one of seven, part of a team! Alone you cannot defeat the dark one!'
"This time I work alone Lady."
"My name is Calyris Meiji, and I would like you to call me such. Alone you don't stand a chance, the other five have to be found, then we can truly stand against the dark…

Trowa was cold, that much he knew. He was still mourning the loss of his beloved Catherine, but he decided that he had better hear what Quatre had to say. He was back in space, which was now a place that he loathed to be. He walked until he reached Quatre's. When he reached the door he knocked…

"Just hold on a minute Duo, I need to get the door," Quatre said. He got up and answered the door, and saw Trowa standing there.
"Trowa?" Quatre said.
"I got your message," he said. Quatre brought him inside.
Trowa noticed that there was something different about Duo the second he saw him, but he did not know what. It seemed familiar to him, but he just couldn't pace it. He found out moments later, however, when the strange girl said something.
"Duo, are you going to wait for the other warrior, of are you just going to get yourself killed for revenge? Fire alone isn't going to stop the Daybreaker," she said, there was a hint of sadness in her voice at the mention of the 'daybreaker' Trowa noticed. What he also noticed was what she called him. Warrior of fire…
"What the hell is all this about. The same thing, she called herself a vampire as in Dracula as in not real, did something to Catherine, and my own sister attacked me. Then something happened to me, and that same thing calls me the Warrior of Water. I want answer, and I know someone here has them," Trowa said. It was the most Quatre had heard out of him at one time.
"I guess we have three out of seven," Calyris said.
"And another thing, who is that?" Trowa asked.
"Trowa
this is Calyris Meiji…" Quatre began.
