A/N: Hello
Lost and Found
By: rainjewel
A/N: Hello! One of
the last installments of the "Lost and Found" is here! No,
not the last!! Again, none of this follows the timeline (duh,
Migel is still alive, he should have died a little while ago, but
Zongi didn't make it! MWAHAHAHA!). Thank you to everyone who
has reviewed! You keep me going! Um, just so you know, this is
yet another battle scene that I can't write. Aw shucks! ^.^
Anyways, thanks again!! Please R&R!!
PS~ "Dona Eis
Requiem" is Latin for "Grant to them rest."

Migel
I am the
EggmanWHOO!
They are the
EggmenWHOO!
I am the
Walrusku-ku-ka-chu!
Today Zaibach will conquer.
Escaflowne is as good as gone. We are the Dragon Slayers, we are
immortal.
Whooee!
I'm incredibly happy
today. After my little "conversation" with Folken, I
feel as if thirty tons of sand has been lifted off my shoulders.
I am the
EggmanWHOO!
They are the
EggmenWHOO!
I am the
Walrusku-ku-ka-chu!
The ground shakes as my
Alseides unit drops to the dry earth. Scratch that, dry
"gaea."
"Unit 4, ready," I
say into my intercom, my British accent showing a bit more then
usual due to the fact that I'm feeling unusually hyper
"Looks
like Migel got a piece of ass last night"
"Looks
like someone's jealous, Dalet"
The thought of, ahem,
"romantic relationships involving physical activity"
reminds me of a certain green-eyed girl, and I feel my enthusiasm
wane. Cooling my giddiness, I sit and listen to the droning of
the other Slayers as they call in their preparedness. Finally an
insane giggle punctuates the last of the soldiers.
Battle time! Switching to
Migel's "serious" frame of mind.
"Let's play,"
Dilandau's voice crackles. I see his crimson mecha turn to
the silent Dragon, but the Ivory giant runs past the commander
and charges right at Chesta's guymelef. I see the soldier
lift his metallic hand in a desperate attempt to block Van's
surprise attack, but it's in vain. A shrill cry sounds over
the intercom, then cuts off as the horrid sword slices through
the blue guymelef.
Chesta
Oh my fucking God that
was fast!
Chesta
"They
called me to come and identify' you. Thanks for
interrupting my sleep."
Oh God, Chess
I'll never talk to
him again, laugh with him, I'll never
"Quoth the
Raven,
Nevermore Chess, now
you'll sleep forevermore.
"Dilandau-sama!"
Gatti's voice calls out, his voice higher-pitched and more
terrified then I've ever heard in my life. I shake my head
and snap out of my sorrowful trance. Van stands over Gatti's
Alseidesor its smoking bits. Other scraps and pieces lie
around. My fellow Dragon Slayers are gone.
What the hell? Is he a
demon? Is this the boy-king Hitomi is
helping? Well Van, you are going to die you son-of-a-bitch.
"GattiDalet?"
Dilandau's voice questions over the intercom. He hasn't
move since Chesta's opening slaughter.
And we thought we would
never die. We are the immortal Dragon Slayers. We slay dragons,
not the other way around.
"Migel!" Dilandau
shrieks to me. Damn it! Escaflowne swings its huge sword towards
my Alseides unit. Quickly I block the blow with my sword, but the
force of the blow is fast and I feel my left leg bend under the
momentum of the thrust.
Swiftly I slice at
Van's momentarily vulnerable leg, but he blocks it at the
last minute, reducing the damage.
"Damn it!" I hear
him cry out as my sword strikes the target, though weakened.
Good, I hope that hurt.
Van slices again at my
melef, and I retaliate with a shot of my Crima Claw, but
Van's so fast, so goddamn fast that he hits my left
arm, and I feel the appendage crumble into bloody shards of bone.
The pain flashes through me like a hot fire. My vision goes
white, but slams back into focus just in time to see
Escaflowne's lethal blow aimed at my heart. I wince and feel
the sword hit me square in the chest, despite my last-ditch
attempts to block it. The cockpit crashes in around me and I feel
my ribs crunch and shatter as my Alseides collapses on the
ground.
"Migel!"
Dilandau's screams rings in my ears.
My savior. Please come
and deliver me.
Somewhere deep inside, I
know my savior can't help me. My life's bleeding away
like a gushing river of death.
Ah, déjà vu? Oh, I
think so. Only this time I'm not going to make it.
I close my eyes, awaiting
the final blow. I hear the wheezing of my own breath. Every time
I inhale it feels as if I'm stabbing a dagger into my chest.
Doesn't matterI think I've passed beyond the
pain.
"Van!" cries a
familiar voice. Ah, tis Hitomi, my secret Juliet. Secret
in my mind. I hear the concern in her voice, and it hurts ten
times worse then what I feel now. There's love in that
voice. Love for the man who is killing me, killing my heart.
I feel the jealousy swell
inside me like a balloon. It inflates my heart and my will with a
foreign adrenaline. With a war cry that is likened to a whisper,
I take my right hand and push my mangled hatch open, then heave
myself out of the cockpit.
On weak knees I stand up,
waiting for the white flashes of the oncoming oblivion to pass
from my vision. Ah, the previews of the coming attraction.
I feel bitterness ooze from my pores.
I hold my shattered left arm
against my battered chest, standing as straight and proud as
Dilandau would wantwants.
"Here Van! Take your
best shot you bastard!" I scream with all my might. The
blood flies from my mouth with my words, painting a crimson
picture of my hate in the wind.
"I'll get you one
day you son of a bitch," I shout again, but I choke upon my
own blood. I turn my head to spit out the vermilion poison, but
my knees give out and I crash to the metal below. The whiteness
comes again.
No, not nowI
can't go now.
"Ryan,
track star or singer?"
"I'm
going to work at McDonald's"
Suddenly the present slaps
me in the face. Van stands over me, muttering something about
Fanelia. Oh hell no, you're not slicing me yet. Fuck your
goddamn Fanelia, Van Fanel. I have a goodbye I have to say.
"Hitomi," I hiss
through my blood-choked mouth. I cough again and spew the bile
and plasma upon my Alseides. The pain courses through my body and
I clasp my chest as the wave of agony rolls over me. My last
words are in vain.
Come, my demons. I'm
here to accept your fiery embrace. Take—
"Ryan!" a voice
calls through my hazy consciousness.
Ryan died a long time
ago. An angel came for him
I open my eyes. I'll
see Death when it comes.
An angel kneels atop my
Alseides, her honey-colored hair dancing with the wind and the
green eyes that were made by God.
Hitomi
