Gundam Fairies

Chapter 3
Skydancer ran as fast as she could in the opposite direction of the boys. Trowa was following and he was gaining on her. She called her animal friends to come help her. The closest one was a wolf looking thing. It was exactly like a wolf only bigger and it had purple fur. It jumped out of the bushes and leaped at Trowa. It took him by surprise and knocked him over. While distracted by the wolf Trowa lost site of Skydancer. She jumped into a tree and hid.
Since Trowa meant the wolf no harm it soon stopped growling. Trowa had a way with animals, and soon had it rolling on the ground in contentment.
Traitor!
He means you no harm.
How do you know that? They all mean harm in the end.
Anyone who can communicate with animals in this way is all right in my book.
"What do you know? You're just a wolf?"
Yes. But at least I don't give away my location when I'm trying to hide.
With a sense of dread Skydancer realized she'd just given away her position when not meaning to. She looked down to see Trowa walking toward her. The wolf was already under the tree looking up at her.
"It's all right. You can come. I won't hurt you." Trowa said in his most soothing voice. The girl just looked at him some more. He couldn't see her very well while she was up in that tree. He needed to get her down before she hurt herself. Although it looked like she knew what she was doing.
"Very well. If you won't come down, I'll come up after you." Skydancer watched in horror as Trowa started to climb the tree. She sat there watching him.
"I don't see what's so funny. Stop laughing at me." She told him, and turned to climb up the tree. She climbed as high as she could go, and sat down to rest. She didn't usually climb; she had wings so she used them instead. She looked down and saw the boy still after her. Not only that but he was just below her. She looked around and realized the only way to go was down. She couldn't fly away, because there wasn't enough room.
Trowa had just grabbed her foot when she leaned over backward and fell from the tree, pulling him with her. He held onto her foot as tight as he could and waited for the impact.
"You can let go now." He heard her say. He opened his eyed, not realizing till then that he had closed them. He looked and saw that they were a few feet from the forest floor. He let go of her foot and dropped the rest of the way. During the fall she had moved them to a hole surrounded by trees. It had been next to the tree the entire time.
Trowa looked up when he didn't hear her drop beside him. He gasped when he saw her wings. So that was why they weren't pancakes yet. The girl in front of him was beautiful in his opinion. She had wavy hair that was auburn colored. Her hair went to her shoulders. Her eyes were a blue-grayish color. They reminded him of mist, the way they shifted from blue to gray. She wore a pale yellow dress that was short. It went to about mid-thigh. She had a strap on the left side of her top. She had a pair of earrings in that were shaped like stars. If she weren't flying she would be a little shorter than him. Her sandals were the same color as her dress and laced up to just below her knee. Think ballerina slippers only sandals instead.
Trowa noticed that he had no way to get out of the hole without her help. He'd have to come back and trap her another day. While he was thinking of ways he could do that she spoke up. "Why did you follow me?"
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me. So why'd you do it?"
"I was trying to apologize for scaring you. Then you went up the tree and I didn't want you to hurt yourself."
"Well, thank you for your concern but I can take care of myself. Now why were you hanging around anyway?"
"I'm sorry. But I can't answer that."
"All right. But I can't let you go back and tell where you saw us. If you did, then we'd lose our element of surprise. Besides Riverwind and Treeflower would have my hide." She muttered the last part under her breath. She moved her hands in a sequence and a bond of feathers and fur appeared around his hands. It tightened, and he was surprised when it was harder than steel. It looked so fragile. "Well let's get started."
Treeflower . . .
Treeflower had run the opposite direction as Riverwind. She looked behind her and saw a boy with blonde hair running after her. She turned around and growled. After running for awhile she stopped and turned around. "What do want?" she demanded.
Quatre stopped to catch his breath. After he had it back he lost it again. The girl in front of him was beautiful. She had pale gold hair that went just past the bottom of her dress. She wore a black headband in her hair to keep it out of her face, and on the right side of her headband was a lavender sunflower. Her dress was lavender colored and looked just like Skydancer's except the strap was on the right instead of the left. Her sandals were the same color as her dress, and they laced up to just past her ankles. They criss-crossed several times, and reminded Quatre of the sandals the Romans used to wear. Her eyes were a stormy blue color. They were bluer than Skydancer's. (In this story Dorothy doesn't have the double eyebrows.)
"I asked you a question." She snapped at him.
"I'm sorry. I just wanted to apologize."
"For what?"
"For scarring you of course."
"You didn't scare me. Now why did you really come?"
"I can't tell you that."
"HE sent you didn't he?" she said hatred in her voice.
Looking into her eyes Quatre couldn't lie. "Yes, he did."
"I knew he would try something! Well you're my prisoner now."
Quatre had been looking at his feet, when she said that he looked up. This girl was going to take him prisoner, with what? Looking at her again, he noticed this time that she had a pair of gossamer wings. He gasped, she was a fairy?!
He watched transfixed as she whispered something. The trees and plants around him started to move. A thick vine wrapped around his wrists, and tightened. Then it made its way to her outstretched hand. She said something else and the vine was suddenly covered with a hard substance.
"Don't try breaking it, you won't be able to." She said and started to lead him to who knows where.
Moonchild . . .
Moonchild ran towards the oncoming boys and flipped over them. She was braver than the rest. But the biggest reason was that everyone else had taken all the other ways. When she landed she continued to run. At the lowest hanging branch she pulled herself up. She looked down and saw that a boy had followed her.
Now where did she go, Duo thought to himself. He had been following her when all of a sudden she disappeared. He stood and scratched his head. "Aw, man. Now I'm lost too. What a bummer." He thought he heard rustling in the trees above him. He started to walk when a girl dropped out of the trees in front of him.
She was shorter than him by several inches. She had hair the color of the night sky. Duo thought that if he looked hard enough he might see the stars. She wore her hair down except for a braid that ran along the outside of her head. He hair went between her shoulders and mid-back. Her eyes were bright blue. The dress she wore was a sky-blue. The front had yellow flowers rimming the top. The dress was strapless. Her sandals, which were also the color of her dress, strapped once around her ankles and once right above her toes. She was a petite little thing.
"Just where do you think you're going? I can't let you get away." She said. She had the same spunky voice tone as Duo.
"Are you all right babe?"
"I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be? And don't call me babe."
"Whatever you say, Babe."
"Ugh. Didn't you hear me?!"
"Course I heard you. But the word fits you."
"Enough talking. Now are you going to make this easy or hard?"
"No one takes the God of Death down easily."
"God of Death, you're not very intimidating." She chuckled while sizing him up.
"Well look who's talking. Now lets get this over with. I have other things to do today."
They started to circle each other, than Duo lunged at her. But she wasn't there. She had jumped over him and knocked his legs out from under him. He sprang up and grabbed her, but she twisted out of his grip. Duo backed her up next to a rocky wall. She had nowhere to go but up. She took a leap and let her wings go at it. They caught the air and lifted her above his head.
Duo stared at her; she had started to fly all of a sudden. It had taken him by surprise. He looked at her and saw the wings for the first time. "So that's how you're doing it." he muttered to himself. Now that he'd seen her wings he realized that she had the perfect build for a fairy, she was small and lithe.
Man. Why'd she have to be a fairy! She's a total babe! Now I've got to capture her. He thought to himself. He looked up to see her staring intently at his hands. She then made some kind of gesture with her hands. He watched fascinated as parts of the shadows broke off from each other and wrapped around his hands. They solidified and turned rock hard. A string of even denser shadow wrapped in between his hands and flew over to Moonchild's hands. "Come on, we have a ways to go. Besides I'm hungry. Thanks to you I had to miss lunch."
Summersong . . .
Summersong ran through the woods. She didn't even look to see which way she was going. An unknown boy was following her. She could handle the ones who wanted to destroy her, but the others just weirded her out. She had to stop after a while to catch her breath. She looked behind her, the boy was gone. She knew better than to assume he was gone, so she sent out her senses. However before she could sense anything she was bowled over. She hit the ground with a thud. She felt someone land on top of her.
Heero looked down at the girl he'd knocked over. He immediately noticed her wings. She had a white dress with pink roses running along the top of the front. A lot like Moonchild's outfit, only hers was lower in the front. The skirt was slightly longer too. She wore white sandals that wrapped around the toes and ankle. In between those two straps another one ran diagonally. She had honey-brown hair that was loose down to mid-back.
She opened her eyes and glared at Heero and he saw that they were a cerulean blue. "Get off of Me." she said with annoyance in her voice. He got up slowly. He wasn't going to lose her; after all it would mean part of the job would be done. She stood up as soon as he got off her. "What were doing anyway?"
"…" He didn't answer.
"Well aren't you going to answer me?"
"I was coming to check on you." He said in his monotone voice.
"You are a depressing creature aren't you." She laughed lightly at this.
"He gave her his death glare. He did NOT like being laughed at. Might as well get the capture over with. He thought. He lunged at her and caught her around the waist. She looked shocked for a moment then disappeared. He looked up above him. She had reappeared in the air flying.
"Well I was going to let you go. But you pushed it too far. Now you'll be coming with me."
He looked up at her interested as to how she thought she'd keep him captive. She held up her hand and a ball of light started to grow. It was four different colors. She sent it at Heero and it hit his wrists. Once it touched it formed a bound made of different colored leaves, ice, cherry blossoms, and green grass. It was all in its own section. It looked funny and like it would fall apart any minute. But it was stronger than any bond Heero had been in yet.
"Come on." She said. She picked him up by his bound wrists and started to fly away.
"You're rather heavy, you know." She commented while they flew through the air.
Near the village . . .
Skydancer was the first one to arrive. The girls had appointed a set spot to meet each time they were separated. She had walked part of the way leading Trowa, then had remembered that she could transport them. So she had sat there waiting for the others to arrive. It had been pretty boring so far. Trowa didn't say much, and Wolftrotter who had followed them had run off a while ago.
A noise from the bushes notified her that her friends had arrived. The setting sun caught Treeflower's hair and turned it a pale red. Skydancer noticed that they all led a boy into the clearing.
"How did you get here so fast Skydancer?" Summersong asked.
"I transported us here."
"Ugh! Why didn't I think of that!" Moonchild yelled while slapping a hand to her forehead.
"Do you really want me to answer that?" Treeflower said.
"Shut up! I didn't see you transport here."
"Will you two SHUT UP for once! We have more pressing matters than you're bickering." Riverwind yelled.
Everyone shut up and looked at Riverwind. She was glaring at all of them.
"Thank you. Now what are we going to do with these?" she motioned to the guys.
"I suppose we can take them back with us." Skydancer suggested.
"We need to be careful. We still don't know why there were here. No one comes into the forest willing anymore unless He employs them" Treeflower cautioned.
"Well what should we do then?" Skydancer asked
Then everyone heard a loud rumbling. The girls all turned toward one person.
"MOONCHILD!"
"He he. Sorry. I had to miss lunch and supper." She countered.
"Back to the important subject. We can take them to the village elder. They'll know what to do and they can contact Mother Forest." Summersong suggested.
That sounded like a good plan to everyone, but they decided to rest a bit. They were all tired out, except for Skydancer and Trowa.
"Hey does anyone smell smoke?" Duo asked.
At that all the girls' heads snapped up. They all smelled it now too. They looked to see where it could possibly be.
"The trees. Oh NO! What are we gonna do!" Treeflower started to run around screaming. Riverwind calmly walked up to her and slapped her across the face.
"Thank you. I needed that."
"No problem. Now where's the smoke coming from?"
"The smoke appears to be coming from the north." Quatre volunteered.
The girls looked at each other. "That would mean that its coming from the . . ."
"THE VILLAGE!!" they screamed in horror.
With that they took off toward the village. The boys were lugged along since the girls were still holding the chains.
