Safeguarding the Princess II
(the Vortex Opens When your heart open 5)
Yay, another chapter from me!! …….(silence, unwilling to say anything) Well read and review!
Relena closed her eyes, ready for the worse.
Sheera gritted her teeth in fury. 'I've failed…'
They were waiting. For rescue or death. Or whatever the fate had decided for them.
Suddenly, its cut into two and exploded in front of their eyes. Blocking their view with dust and flames.
" Hey, Ladies! Need some help?!" Duo's voice was heard from Deathschythe Hell. " We're coming for rescue!"
" Dammit Duo!! Two more minutes and I'll be damn!!". She shouted, "Never mind. Are the others come with you?"
" Sure!" He replied happily and swung his scythe left to blast another mobile suits. About ten Mobile suits floated and pointed their gun at him. " Excuse me, Shinigami gonna kick some ass!!" He yelled and stormed off from their view.
Sheera grabbed Relena wrist and pushed both of them out right before the car exploded.
" Good. We have 5 Gundams for rescue and we still need to protect ourselves! " Sheera snapped, panting heavily while two Mobile suits flying above them in pursuit.
All their muscle was tense and they were extremely tired, both mental and physics. All she wanted right now are hot bath and peaceful slumber. ' But Ethernity will be better, so I can blast them !!' She thought.
Relena bitted her lower lips tried not to sob, she could take it no more. Bloodshed, war, battle, all those civilians. How could they?! 'If they really want me why they have to kill the civilians?!' she shivered as pure anger overtook her, blackened her view. She was unconscious.
*******
"Ouch!! That's hurt! Be gentle will ya." Sheera gritted her teeth while Dr. J working with her wounds. Her knee bruise pretty bad but nothing seems wrong with her although half of her face covered by blood which's ran down like a stream from a gush in her forehead. Relena –whose sit in the opposite chair- stared at her with a bandage on her nose. She looked fine for someone who almost been killed by a hundred Mobile Suits.
Suddenly the door swung open. A girl in purple black hair stormed in, ran to Relena's direction, followed by the blond one.
" Relena!! Are you okay!?" The black hair shouted before she glares at Sheera, who was glaring at Dr. J's bionic hand.
" YOU!!" the girl snapped.
" Eh? Are you talking to me?"
" Yes, we're talking to you!" the blonde girl snapped before Sheera realized that she was holding a fencing soil in her right hand.
"Why didn't you protect her?" Dorothy hissed at me.
"I tried-" She began.
"Well, you didn't try hard enough," she interrupted.
Well, this was just perfect. 'I had just about been killed trying to protect Relena and because she got one little scratch, her friends were going to kill me instead. This was not my day!' she thought furiously, glared at Dorothy who returning her glare with the annoying eyebrows of her.
"If I had died, would I of protect her well enough?!" She shouted, almost hearing her own temper snap. Dorothy sneered in disgust but she said nothing.
"'Kay, this one is finish. " Dr. J interrupted, and he rolled his chair to the other direction and started to working with another bleeding cut
"You wish you had the gusts. I wonder why the pilots even recommended you." Dorothy said eyeing Sheera's bleeding arms with mocking smile.
That was the last straw. Sheera jolted up, snapped her hands free from Dr. J's grip. She knew that he only want her to cam down, but she just didn't have enough power to do it.
"I was nearly killed, and she got barely a scratch!" She shouted.
"Well, if your so brave, I, Dorothy Catalonia, challenge you too a duel!"
She wasn't thinking strait. The words were out before she could stop them, she wouldn't of though, even if I wanted to. I wanted to teach this girl a lesson, she was no wuss!
"FINE!" She declared, glared at Dorothy. Dorothy threw her a fencing sword, ignoring Relena's protests of 'we shouldn't be fighting at all.' As she caught the sword, it hit her. She had no idea of how to fence, and even worse the sword was very slippery with her blood! Taking a deep breath and ignoring her common sense, she got into a fighting stance, the only fighting stance she knew. Kendo. It seems weird, using a fencing sword in Kendo way, but it didn't bother her at all.
Dorothy flew at her before she had prepared herself. She new she had caught her by surprise. Sheera flew backward dodging her next attack. Suddenly something clicked. She no longer felt weird with the sword and, thanks to Ryou-chan, she knew what to do! Having no time to worry about what had happened, she swung her sword forward to attack. Dimly she had seen Hilde hit a switch and brighter lights went on.
Dorothy fell backward from the fury of my attacks. Surprise was all over her face. In the back of her mind she realized, Dorothy had thought this was an easy battle. She knew Sheera had no idea of how to fence, 'but for YOUR surprise I knew a bit about Kendo' Sheera smirked as Dorothy fought back with equal fury, dodging her attacks, but not having enough time to strike back.
Suddenly a strong pair of arms grabbed her armpits and pulled her back. A different pair did the same for Dorothy. At the same time her concentration snapped and she blinked a few times, being only supported by the pair of arms. Dizziness had hit her head badly, 'something was wrong here…'
"Who the hell turned on the zero system?!" She heard a familiar voice yell angrily.
She heard the words, but they didn't seem to penetrate her head. She kept blinking. Something was definitely gone wrong! Is it just her imaginations or the floor was swinging like the deck of a ship? She shook her head, trying to get rid of the pain, but the spinning sense only get worse
"Are you alright?" she heard a voice asked softly. Suddenly everything went clear and she blushed.
"Quatre?" Sheera crooked. She didn't even recognize her voice. Her head was screaming for a hammer. ' I'll have one when I get home..'
"It's me," he answered. "Do you feel alright?"
Even though his voice was soft, it made her head pounded. She felt him slowly let her go. She stood for a moment and felt her knees gave out. Quatre caught her shoulders before she fell on her face. She felt her cheeks went hot again and faced the floor to hide it.
"Why am I feeling so weak?" She heard herself asked hoarsely. "I'm usually pretty strong. Damn, my head is spinning" She sounded so unsure of herself.
"I was a little like that after my first time on the zero system and I was trained for it," he answered in the same soft tone. She knew he was only trying to make her feel better. But it just made her feel worse.
She looked ahead into Dorothy's face. She was glaring at her and Sheera obviously felt glad for the pair of arms holding her back. For few seconds they were tied into a staring contest, even tough her head spinning miserably, Sheera locked her eyes to Dorothy's. Trowa's monotone voice broke up the staring contest.
"You both have a lot of explaining to do," Trowa said simply.
"Later, Trowa," Quatre said. "They're both going to have a huge headache."
Trowa nodded as Duo came up behind him. Quatre looked over at him.
"What happened?" he asked.
"Hilde by accident, hit the switch looking for the lights," Duo explained " And what was happen here? Another catfight?" He said , scratched his head and glanced at the scattered fencing swords.
Quatra nodded and help Sheera to her feet.
"You both better get some rest," Quatra said to Dorothy and Sheera.
She didn't even bother to argue. She knew he was right, besides she didn't have enough energy to start another argument. She looked over at the furious Dorothy as Quatre led her out. Dorothy was glaring at her again and in that instant, tough her mind didn't worked well, she knew this was only the beginning of a very long rivalry.
Ok, that's all I can get after 2 months, what a shame. School was already starts here, so I hope it won't bother my writing habit. Let's pray together, kay?
