Saria strecthed leisurely, flexing her striped limbs. "Trowa, where did that blonde knight of
mine get to? He was supposd to be getting wood, was he not?"
"Not sure.....you sent him out an hour ago, he should have been back by now."
"I know." she froze a moment, and sniffed the air warily.
"DAMN!"
"What?!"
"Ooh, that is it. If I ever----" shestopped just short of a catacylsmical oath that could
plunge the whole world into an abyss. "I can't bow to this...I can stand for it..."
"Saria, would you just snap out of it in the name of Calloria? What the Underworld is
going on?"
"Ok, its like this. That Milliardo ass has decided he wants Si-- well, another one of my
chosen people for his bride. So now he's trying to tip me over to his side. If he does, then
all good will be destroyed and he will achieve his ultimate goal. So now he sent his idiot
lackey up here to kidnap Quatre and take him to the "Place in Mordor, where the Shadows
Lie". So I, maddened with anger and loss, go to Mordor to retrieve him. But the thing is, I
cant go there or else Ill be so contaminated Ill tip, and then the world is doomed.Now what
do I do?" She switched into her human form rather rapidly, faster than Trowa has seen her
switch before.
"Now what........"
"Please Heero...Please answer me..." Her voice was strained. Saria passed a weary hand
over her forehead. Good Lord.
Hey, Military Boy.
Huh?! His voice ws enraged, lost in despair even.
Listen and shut up. Must I always tell you to shut up? Now listen closely. Milliardo, as you
know has Sia. but also he's abducted Qua-- well, one of my other chosen people. Youll
know him by sight. Hes a bit tall, blonde, with ocean blue eyes---
Sir De'Winner?
How did you know?
He and Trowa Bartonan were my two most trusted knights.
Oh Well, nevermind then I need you to go to Mordor and retrieve them both. If you don't,
the whole world is doomed. Her voice was a bit on the shrill side, he noted.
So how am I supposed to do this?
I dont know, damnit! Thats what Im trying to figure out. Damn that ass and his whore.....
She let a cry out, then instantly strangled it.
His eyes widened in surprise. Can you actually be hurt?
Yes, damnit! No, actually Im just crying for the hell of it. Now listen, Sia wants to talk to
you, but unfortunatly theres nothing I can do right now to connect you two. As long as she
is in that Mordor, I cant touch her.
Well, if I had to go there, couldnt I just take Sushie?
Huh? What are you talking about?
I mean, Sushies already evil, well, technically, so he cant be touched by Milliardos
protections, right?
Right.. But what does that matter?
Well, could'nt you keep contact with Sushie and he can relay messages? Then you would
be able to know what is happening and tell me how to get past his defenses.
Brilliant. It does have its points......she conceded.
Saria.
What now?
Youre purring.
I am not!
Yes you are.
Oh bite my stripes, Yuy. she snapped. Now get on Sushie and lets get this under with.

Treize surveyed his troops with pride.The finest men he could find had been
commandeered to his cause. He couldnt find three he had wanted most though. General
Heero Yuy, and Sirs Quatre De'Winner and Trowa Bartonan were nowhere to be found.
"Mister Khushrenada?" A girl with red hair in a gypsy outfit approached him. Treize had
convinced her to join the army because of her skill with daggers. She claimed it was a gift
from her Goddess. The girl and her people actually still worshipped the ancient goddess
Saria. Supposedly she had invented blades and the art of swordfighting and dagger
throwing. Frankly Treize didnt care. As long as the girl could throw, that was all he cared.
"Yes, my dear girl?" he said politely.
"Sir, we have located where the High Priestess"-- she spat the word--"is located. Whenever
you want to advance upon the girl who worships the false Goddess, we are ready."
Treize nodded."How about now? I want you and that Chang after her, ok?"
"As you wish, Milord." And she was off. Treize smiled. Such an obedient girl.
