Gundam Fairies
By: Kallie
Chapter 2
Morning . . .
The fairies started out bright and early. They had a ways to go till they reached where they would celebrate Midsummer. They each held something different. Summersong had the cloth they would use for rituals and to eat on. Treeflower had an armload of flowers, Riverwind had a pitcher of water, Moonchild had the basket with the food in it, and Skydancer had the village offering for Mother Forest. The fairies were well rested and excited.
Meanwhile . . .
The boys stumbled into camp. The ride had been a long one, and some of them suffered from jetlag. They were all stiff and tired. When they had landed, they found out that no one had come to meet them. They had to ask for directions to camp and walk there. It was 15 miles to the closest town from camp, which was a long way to walk with luggage.
Duo immediately plopped down right where he stood. The others found chairs. The camp was made up of one building and several tents. The building was where they would eat and take showers. It was also the only place within 15 miles with a phone.
A girl with red hair pulled up in a bun came out to greet them. She led them into the building, where a videophone showed Dermal on the screen. Dermal saw them and turned to address them " So you made it in one piece huh?"
"Hey, man. You never said we had to walk all that way." Duo complained.
"Must have slipped my mind. Now you will be joined be one more person. His name is Ivan Silvers. He should already be here. I'll check back to see your progress in a week." With that the screen went blank.
"Ivan!" Duo started to crack up over that. "What kind of a name is Ivan."
"One you won't forget." A cruel voice from the back of the room spoke up. A man steeped forward and the boys' saw he was tall and muscular. He had hair the color of seaweed, a kind of brownish-green, and eyes that were a sandy color. His skin was a light green. He was a native of the planet Waterworld. His people had a reputation of being brutal.
"So, you're the weaklings sent in to help me. Well just stay out of my way and don't cross me." Ivan said then walked outside.
"I'll show you to your tents. My name is Melody." The girl said. The guys followed her to five of the tents they had seen on first coming to the camp.
"Does anyone else stay here?" Trowa asked.
"Nope, it's just you guys, Ivan, and the occasional help. They never last long though."
"Why's that?" Quatre asked, suddenly curious.
"Because of the fairies. That's why you were brought here remember." She chuckled while she said that.
"Those people were scared off because of some little fairies. What weaklings." Wufei snorted.
"Oh, they're not little. They look like humans, only they have wings and a few other differences."
"Thanks for the help babe. But we can take it from here." Duo said while hauling his stuff into his tent. The others nodded so Melody walked back into the building.
After getting their stuff into their tents they took out what they'd need to capture the fairies. They dragged it out into the middle of the camp. They saw tons of iron bare traps and other nasty looking traps. They also saw tons of heavy artillery.
"You preparing to go to war, Ivan?" Duo asked.
"Those fairies are the enemy and are nothing more than animals. I'll show no mercy towards anything that worthless. Now I have to go hunt some fairies." And with that he walked out of the camp carrying all his traps and stuff in a truck.
The guys shrugged it off and looked over their stuff. It wasn't a whole lot. They had a few simple traps and two guns each. "We should go out and survey the land." Heero said while picking up some stuff and putting it in his pack.
"Now?! Don't you think we should rest first?" Wufei asked.
"Actually Wufei, it's a good idea. We should go look before they know we're here." Trowa said. The rest of the guys nodded. So they all packed their bags and headed into the forest. Since they didn't want to meet up with Ivan, they went the other way.
After walking for a while and mapping what they saw, the guys sat down to rest. It was about two o'clock judging by the sun. Duo was eating his lunch when both Heero and Trowa heard something. They shushed everyone else and listened. They heard some laughter and rustling from a little ways to left and up. They all quietly stalked over to where they heard the noise. There was a clearing with a stream nearby. In the clearing were 5 girls. AS the guys were getting closer Quatre steeped on a branch and it broke.
Hearing this the girls froze. They whirled around and saw the guys. They each took off in a separate direction, and the guys had to follow them. Heero went after Summersong, Duo after Moonchild, Wufei/Riverwind, Quatre/Treeflower, and Trowa/Skydancer.
River wind ran toward the stream with Wufei hot on her heels. She saw a tree and when she was close to it she jumped, and aided by wings, pulled herself up onto the branch. Wufei ran to the tree, but couldn't get up it because the lowest branch was 15 feet from the ground. "You can come down. I won't hurt you." He called. The girl just went "Humph".
Wufei decided to go towards the stream. He was thirsty anyway. I'll just wait till she comes down. He thought to himself, s feeling of triumph coming over him.
Stupid human. They are soo predictable. He's walking right into my hands. Got ya. Smiling in triumph she got ready to jump out of the tree. Wufei had walked right next to her trap.
Standing beside the river, he turned to watch the tree. His foot brushed the trap, when he felt a huge amount of water push him over. "AHHH." He yelled as he felt a net wrap around himself. He was yanked into the air. He was all tangled up, and had righted himself when he heard a laugh. The laugh sounded like water running over rocks, it had that same smooth trickle to it.
He glared down at a girl who looked slightly older than he did. She was tall, with dark blonde hair and eyes that were a deep intense blue. They reminded him of a pool of water. She wore her in two twisted braids. She was wearing a light green outfit. It was a one-piece short and top combo. Think of a tube top only it goes down to her shorts. She had sandals on her feet that crisscrossed over her toes and had a band around her ankle.
"You fell right into my trap, human." She said. Noticing that she called him human, he looked at her a second time. He noticed that she had wings. So this was one of the fairies he was capture.
"Now, why did you sneak up on us?"
"We didn't sneak up on you. We were resting and heard you."
"Well, I don't believe you. Since you interrupted our Midsummer service your going to be my prisoner." With that she waved her hand and water surged up from the stream. It wrapped around his hands, and came back to her. It broke off from the column and solidified. Try though he might, Wufei couldn't break it.
