Title: Drakan: Order of the Flame 3/?
Author: Kakyuu Maxwell
Rated: PG-13
Warnings: Wufei name game, Where's Heero?, Orc meat being rather
tasty, and complete game screw up.
Note: Um... So I finally made it interesting...! You're also gonna
kill me for that little line Kory... maybe I should have Kujo say it
in the next part for Trowa?
Disclaimer: Others apply (I'm taking a break from a literature
report, so I'm too lazy to think of anything nice and witty...).

Drakan: Order of the Flame 3/?

"Hey guys!" Shi yelled from behind the barred door.
"Hey Shi!" Kasumi waved.
"On the count of three open the door and attack the spiders!" Shi
instructed. "One... two... THREE!"
Both girls opened the doors leading into the other brewery while the
others exterminated the pests. Shi dashed in unoticed and looked down
at the end for the table. There it was. She jogged up to it, hoping
to grab the key. There was no key. "KUSO!"
The others looked at her once they were finished, except for Kujo who
was furiously stomping on one of the already dead spiders. "Nani?"
"There's no key!" Shi screamed, hopping up and down like Kujo. "KUSO
SQUARED!"
"Hey guys? Where's Heero?" Kaori interuppted.
"This isn't the time to play 'Where's Waldo' Kory!" Shi exclaimed,
continueing her hopping mad rage.
"No, I mean it. Heero isn't here!" Everyone stopped what they were
doing... except for Kujo.
"We thought he was with you guys!" Quatre pondered.
"He was, but he turned back to meat up with the rest of you." Kujo
stopped once the spiders guts decorated her boots and ankles. She
looked down. "Ewwwwwww..."
"He probaly got stuck at the bottom of the slope. Let's go check."
Shi motioned to the doorway Wufei and Kasumi were waiting at.

****

"Did you guys see anything?" Kaori asked once they all met up again.
"Yeah, lots of dead people that weren't him." Duo grumbled.
"No frickin' key either." Shi muttered, kicking a nearby log.
Trowa squinted agaisn't the sunlight. "It's about noon. We got up
sometime around 9."
"And it took us one hour to go through the tunnel, and then another
two to comb the village." Shi stated.
"Uh, guys? I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I'm pretty
hungry." Kujo interuppted.
At the moment, everyone's stomach seemed to agree.
"I guess we all are." Wufei grumbled.
They all looked at Shi.
Shi blinked. "Uh..."
"GO AND GET SOME FOOD!" They pushed her forward in what they deemed
the direction of the forest.
Shi turned around. "Can I have the book just in case I get lost?"
Trowa handed it to her. "Don't lose it."
"I'm not that stupid Tro-kun." Shi grumbled as she dragged her glaive
behind her into the trees.

****

"Why do I _always_ get stuck having to do this kinda stuff!? Why
can't K-kun of Kory!?" Shi yelled to the forest as she leaned against
a tree. No Orcs or anything remotly edible to be found.
"Because you _always_ get us into these kind of problems." A voice
said.
"Huh?" Shi whirled around. No one there. "Nani?"
"Above you Shi no baka."
Shi looked up and saw Heero glaring down at her. He swung down from
his perch to where she was standing. "How did you get all the way out
here?"
Heero shrugged. "I just climbed the ridge and was here."
Shi blinked. "Oooooooooooooookay... that's a twist..."
"You mean that's not supposed to happen?"
"Uh, no. But then again, the key was gone so that's a twist as well."
"This key?" Heero pulled a dull metal key from where he keeps his gun
(spandex space... gotta love it! ^_^ Okay, okay, so I'm a Heero fan
as well!). "Found it right here."
Shi grabbed it and started jumping up and down. "YES! YES! YES!"
A rustling sound in the bushes and several grunts caught their
attention. A medium sized Orc jumped out, unleashing a war cry and
some _very_ bad breath.
Shi got her glaive ready, while Heero just unleashed a couple rounds
onto the monster. Bye-bye-bye Orc. It fell to the ground with a loud
thud and moan. Heero and Shi looked at each other.
"Are Orcs okay to eat?"
Shi went up and cut off some of the hide, which was as tough as
leather, and pulled out some meat. "We'll find out in a moment."

****

"What's taking that onnako so long!" Wufei ranted as he paced back
and forth. "I'M STARVING HERE!"
"We know Wufag, we are too." Kujo grumbled as she tossed her
1,234,954,190th twig at him. It had been that many. Duo was counting
to take his mind off his stomach.
"No one said you could speak onnako, and my name is Wufei. Not Wufag,
not Bitch Boy, not Wufey, not Fei-kun, and _definitly_ not Wu Wu.
IT'S WUFEI!"

****

"Well is it?" Heero looked at Shi as she swallowed the piece of meat.
Shi grinned up at him. "This is going to sound utterly stupid, but it
really does taste like chicken. With some nice apricot sauce mind you
for flavoring. Too bad there's no bread around..."
"I'll take it as a yes then. Let's drag it back to the others and
roast it."
"Good idea, I'm starved!" Shi exclaimed.
"You just ate, so shut-up." Heero grumbled, helping her lift the
thing up.
"Man! This is heavy!" Shi grumbled as they hauled it off to where all
the yelling was.

****

Kaori stood out on a rock, facing the sea. She took a deap
breath, "HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"Ah! Evil!" Kujo screamed.
Kaori blinked. "I did _not_ just do that!"
"Uh, actually you did..." Duo said, watching his sister resume
throwing rocks now at Wufei. "100... 101... 102...103..."
"Shut-up already Duo." Heero grumbled.
"You're mean Heero... HEERO!" Duo fell backword from suprise.
They all looked over at Shi and Heero as they plopped down a the Orc.
"We're supposed to eat that?" Quatre winced.
Shi started gathering all the twigs Kujo had thrown. "It actually
pretty much does taste like chicken to tell the truth. With apricot
sauce mind you."
Everone rolled their eyes.
"Really! I tasted it!" Shi exclaimed as she grabbed one of the still
burning logs on a house. She tossed it into the mound of twigs, and a
nice bon-fire was formed.

****

"Well? You guys gonna eat it?" Shi asked as everyone stared at their
meat. Shi took a bite out of it and chewed. "I'm serious! It takes
like chicken!"
10 minutes pass.
"Considering the onnako hasn't died from food poisoning yet, I think
it's safe to eat." Wufei muttered, poking at his with his finger.
Shi rolled her eyes. "Just eat it god damn it. Heero! It's your
mission to eat it!"
Heero's eyes glazed over. "Mission accepted..." He took a bite and
then another and ate the whole piece in short time considering they
hadn't eaten anything all day. He blinked once he was
finished. "Stupid mission crack..."
"See! He didn't die either! Now eat it! I didn't spend a good hour
wandering around that forest for nothing!" Shi exclaimed.
The others just looked at each other.
"FINE! STARVE FOR ALL I CARE!" Shi yelled, stomping over to a place
to go to sleep. She crashed down to the ground and didn't look back.
They ate it in a flash.

****

1 week later...
"I swear, this thing went much faster in the game!" Shi exclaimed as
they walked down the hallway to where the dragons were kept.
"Maybe that's because IT'S THE GOD DAMNED FREAKING GAME!" Kujo yelled
right in her ear.
Shi rubbed it. "A little louder K-kun, I can still in mt left ear."
"Okay!" Kujo started to take a deap breath.
Everyone clamped their hands over her mouth to shut her up. "Mhm..
Mhm!"
They took their hands away and sighed.

****

"Now which way to we go onnako?" Wufei looked at Shi who had gone
down each of the many passage ways they were know stuck at.
"It seems that we're supposed to go with whoever we're related too,
in numerical order. I mean, look at the top of the thresholds! They
have numbers and the signs for our names on them!"
Everyone looked up, shrugged, and continued on; Heero alone, Kujo
with Duo, Trowa with Kasumi, Quatre with Shi, Wufei alone, and Kaori
alone.

****

"Bunny bunny bunny!" Shi hopped around happily as she and Quatre made
their way down the long passage way. She turned around as she entered
the a very large room with two stone pedastels at the bottom of a
slope. Shi contined to bounce backwords, drawing dangerously nearer
to the edge. "Come on Qua-chan!"
"Be careful Shi!" Quatre warned.
"Don't worry!" Shi exclaimed as she reached the edge. She then
started sliding backwords, and then started rolling to a stop at the
bottom after hitting a pedastel. "AW SHIT THAT HURTS!"
"Shi!" Quatre yelled as carefully slid down the slope to check on
her. "You okay!?"
Shi sat up and rubbed her head. "Well, my head and right leg hurt
like hell."
He reached her and sat down next to her. "Can you walk?"
"Have I gotten up yet?" Shi retorted, grabbing onto his shoulder so
she could push up. As soon as she stood though, her right knee gave
way and she collapsed. "That's a negative."
"Where's your glaive?" Quatre asked looking around. He didn't see it
until he looked up and saw two stone dragons glaring down at them. At
the feet of one of them lay her glaive. "Great."
Shi handed him one of the crystals they had recovered a couple days
ago. "Here. Put this in for me. Then put yours in a different one."
He nodded and did as she said. Right after they were both in place,
the stone around the dragons began to glow, and it shattered, letting
the dragons go. They flew down to the ground, one of them knocking
the glaive off the cliff. It landed harmlessly next to Shi, and she
grabbed it and used it to stand.
"Who are you to awaken us!?" One of the dragon's, a light blue one
with golden eyes roared at Quatre.
Shi made her way over to them. "We're here because of the Order! It
has brought us here on a quest!" (1)
The other dragon, a violet one with black stripes and blue eyes shook
its head. "But we are to remain asleep! You have even stolen the soul
crystals of our former masters!"
"OH SHUT UP AND PROCESS THE INFO!" Shi yelled. "We're here to
complete a quest. We do it, we go home. Get it? And once we go home,
you guys can go back to sleep if you want too!"
"What about the others?" The blue dragon asked.
"They're being awakened by our friends." Quatre said. "What are your
names?"
"I am Sandrock." The blue dragon said. "I am bound to the crystal of
Sandstorm."
Shi looked at Quatre. "Looks like that's your guy then."
"And I am Kamikaze, bound to the soul crystal of Tuiri," the purple
dragon said.
"Tuiri? Wasn't her dragon killed by that stupid war-giant Tultol?"
Shi asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I'm her daughter." Kamikaze glared.
Shi huffed. "Soooooorrryy!"

****

"So what do we do?" Duo looked confused.
Kujo rolled her eyes. "Get out that stupid crystal we got and stick
it in the slot!"
Duo boggled at her. Kujo whapped him upside the head. "NOT THAT WAY
HENTAI!"
Duo gave a small grin. "I knew that!"
They both went up to the seperate pedestals and placed the soul
crystals inside. Just like for Shi and Quatre, two dragons emerged
and came down to the ground where the twins waited.
Kujo looked at the one who stood before her. It was a deep crimson
red and shining black eyes that seemed to read her thoughts. The idea
creaped her out and a shudder went through her body.
"Who are you?" The other dragon said. This one was mostly black with
a little white on it, but it had the same shining eyes.
"Uh... we're on a quest to restore the order and our friends who are
here with us are I guess awakening the other dragon's and-" Duo
started to babble until he felt something in his mouth. He looked
down to see that Kujo had stuffed the end of his braid in his mouth.
He spit it out. "Ew!"
Kujo rolled her eyes again. "You wouldn't shut-up!" She looked at the
dragon's. "I'm Kujo no Senshi, and this is my brother Duo."
"We are Deathscythe Hell and Hell's Fire." Hell's Fire said.
They blinked. "Oooooooookay..."

TO BE CONTINUED!

As I said, things actually got interesting and kinda funny. (Wu Wu...
**snicker, giggle, hysterics**) Okay! La footnote!

1) Turns out it wasn't _entirely_ Shi's fault for landing them all
here. She only made it so that they left a tad too early and now they
have the upper hand against their enemies. It was actually
prophesized that nine teenagers would come to save the world of
Drakan from the dark ages. **shrug** Yes, I know, very stupid, but I
had to make this up on the spot here! Give me some credit for making
it funny! (It tastes like chicken... I'm an idiot...) Well! Ja minna-
san!

glaives and dragon's,
