Well…this is the second to last installment of Midnight Mayhem. I've hoped you guys liked reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it. Without further ado, here we go!
Midnight Mayhem: Chapter 6
Retaliation
The moon reflected its warm glow onto the grassy lawn. Heero sat in the guys' room and laid his head down on a pillow. It was nearing three and still no signs of the guys. He didn't want to spoil the silence…did he? Things seemed a little too peaceful. After all, Gundam pilots did enjoy blowing up things and the girls couldn't stop gossiping if their life depended on it. He decided that he better go and check things out. But before he left, he grabbed a nearby water gun and filled with a nearby liter of…cherry soda.
"Perfect…"he whispered to himself.
Heero had a mischievous grin spread upon his face. He crawled on all fours out to the hall and slowly proceeded down the stairs. Be careful…Girls can be very aggressive…Step by step he crawled and he was alert around every corner. The last person he would want to see is Dorothy with a fencing sword...No one was inside, meaning that every one was outside. As he was about to go out, he heard the chatting of Catherine and Noin. Heero, being the tactical genius that he is, decided that this was the perfect opportunity to strike back. He snickered and reached into his pocket for his handy, dandy, trusty…floss (mint flavored)! He then readied his gun and anticipated the two women turning the corner.
Here I go, he thought as he pumped up his "soda gun".
Heero jumped out and yelled a mighty war car. He blasted a huge stream of bubbling soda at their faces. Catherine and Noin gave a yelp and tried to shield their faces from the deadly liquid but as we know, Heero is sometimes portrayed as an "inhuman" person, with quick reaction times and all that stuff that us normal people don't have. The carbonation stung their eyes and the sugary water ruined their hair. While the two were stung, he quickly tied them up with the ever-so trustworthy floss and threw them into a nearby jacket closet. Cathy and Noin began swearing at the outnumbered Heero while he securely placed a chair at the knob to prevent them from escaping. He pumped his gun up again and snickered.
"Women…they always complain…" (We all know he's been hanging around Wufei too much)
Heero went off on his quest again and carefully wandered through the dim corridors. Minutes of prowling paid off when he found his next target: Dorothy Catalonia. It seemed that she was looking for Heero to duel him. Unfortunately, she wouldn't be able to get her chance tonight.
"Heero, where are you?" she hissed.
"Right here Dorothy…" he responded.
Heero popped out of the corner and handed Dorothy a gift-wrapped box, ribbons and all. It was his other secret weapon. He's a man of many surprises, after all.
"Dorothy, you have inspired me to become a better fencer!" Heero lied artificially. "For being so inspirational, I'd like to give you this gift! Please accept it!"
"Oh Heero-kun! I've been waiting for this day for so long, where you would ditch Relena-sama and confess your true love to me! Let's run off to Vegas and get hitched!" Dorothy exclaimed.
"NANI?!" Heero took a deep breath and urged her to open he gift, trying to erase what had just happened. He now had proof that Dorothy belonged in a mental hospital. She tore the paper off and threw the box lid off. The sight she saw made her eyes roll to the back of her head and her skin turn an eerie white. Slowly, she collapsed onto the hard floor and dropped the box. Heero gave a maniacal cackled and jumped over the unconscious body to find his other victims.
*~*~*~* At the Tree *~*~*~*
"You guys…MY BLADDER CAN'T HOLD IT IN MUCH LONGER!!!"
"Go into a state of suspended animation, you weakling!" Wufei complained.
"I'M GONNA BLOW IF I DON'T GET TO A POTTY SOON!"
_-_-_- Back with our Bishounen -_-_-_
Heero continued to wander aimlessly around the house. Only four females were left to capture (referring to Sally, Midii, Hilde, and of course…Relena) and victory would go to Heero! (the thought of Relena made blush creep up onto his cheeks) That was strange…Nobody else was in the house. Heero had checked everywhere…except the girls' corridor. Sighing, he prepared himself for the worst, such as being swarmed over by four overly hyper girls, loaded with arsenals and weapons for mass destruction, if you know what I mean…
Like a shadow, he moved swiftly to the forbidden territory and listened for any peculiar noises. Nothing. He moved further down and listened once again. Something faint was coming from the room at the end of the hall. He first ran into a neighboring room and grabbed some nearby pillows. He was rather disgusted by all the pink frills on the edges. Slowly, he crept closer and closer to his destination. He slowly turned the knob and like lightning, jumped in and raised the pillow over his head and curved his body into a battle formation.
Nothing happened.
He was sure he heard something in here. Cautiously, he peeked around and saw a huge lump in the middle of the bed and heard the faint snore. He yanked the blanket off prepared for an ambush and instead, he found a sleeping Midii, hugging her stuffed teddy. Heero found an easy target and quickly tied her up with the floss and laid her down gently in another closet in the hallway. She was still sleeping like a baby. Besides, the closet was locked from the outside so she wouldn't be able to escape unless she plowed down the door. Heero went back to the room and searched for clues. Nothing, just some binoculars and popcorn all over the floor. But what were the binoculars for?
Heero looked outside and saw it. The mother ship…the tree. Sally and Hilde were in plain sight but Relena was nowhere to be found. It seemed that the two were provoking and teasing the guys tied up to the tree. So that's where all the guys went, thought Heero. How could they so easily defeated?!
Sighing, Heero ran down and prepared to set the boys free from their harnesses! He went to the kitchen to grab a knife to cut the rope. Outside, Heero crawled into every crevice of the house, hoping to conceal his figure. Hilde and Sally were part of OZ and The UESA. They were capable of some destruction, physically and mentally. Hell, if he cut the guys out, there would be no problem.
When Sally and Hilde started to gossip about the latest soap opera, he knew it was time. He ran over to the tree and began cutting. The guys all sighed in relief but kept their mouths shut…EVEN DUO!
_-_-_- Back with the Soda-fied People-_-_-_
- "Catherine! Your hand is on my nose! " Noin complained.
- "Well, your leg is on my rib!" Catherine retorted.
- "Let's just shut up and try to break the door down!"
- Catherine had cut them free with one of her circus daggers and now they now were trying to break free.
- "On the count of three, we break out of here. One…two…THREE!"
- With one mighty push, the chair broke (cheap piece of furniture) and the two stumbled out onto the floor. Quickly scrambling to their feet, they tried to run out the back door in the kitchen. Instead, they saw an unconscious body down a hallway. It was Dorothy! They quickly shook her awake and informed her what was going to happen: Heero was going to set free their prisoners and ruin their scheme of revenge.
- It couldn't end this way, not without a brilliant battle, or so Dorothy thought. Dammit all! They now were extremely pissed and revenge was going to be sweeter than ever…
- Okay, the next chapter will be the final installment and thanx for all the great reviews! ^_~
