Sia opened her cabinent, trying to find her sacred weapon. "Blast it, where is it!"
She opened up another compartnemt, rummaging through torture items and daggers,
"No..."
Heero watched the blades, crossbows, and pikes fly over his head and land in a pile. Once
a pike came close to his head, but he simple caught it and threw it behind him.
"Find anything yet?"
"I can't find my Staff...my Dragonstaff, its the only thing that can stop the Goblin Army.
BLAST IT where is it?"
Heero watched as a longbow sailed over his head, followed by a faggot of arrows.
Sia pricked herself on a dagger. "Oww." Sia drew her hand back fast. it began to bleed.
Heero shook his head and ripped off another piece of his shirt and handed it to her. "You
know, if you keep this up, Im not going to have any more tunics to wear."
Sia turned to him, grinning. "You may find fault in that..but i don't" she turned back to her
cabinent and digged farther in. She shook her head.
"Is there anywhere else it can be? Hanging on a wall maybe? Like that staff?" Heero
pointed.
She looked up and felt really stupid. "Yea...yea thats it." She pounded the wall, it rolled off
and landed at her feet. She picked it up. Her eyes narrowed. "Bite my Pale skinny arse, you
dumb staff." She turned and faced him. "If this dosn't stop the goblins, Nothing will."
"So we had better hope and pray that it does, right?" Heero paused. "Well, I guess Saria
would do something if she could, so I suppose praying wont do much good..."
"I it dosn';t then I'm useless. See, this uses my own energy. and if i use it all trying to stop
them and they don't, it's the only fate a Vampire can face. So lets hope it does. Is there
anything else we need?"
"I need to change my shirt." Heero looked down at his torn and scratched tunic.
Sia, possibly for the first time again, laughed. She caught herself and then looked back at
the cabinent, wondering if she needs anything esle. "I need a new sleeved dress though...if
this takes another cut...um...the Gobils will stop by somthing else."
Heero grinned slyly. "Goblins wont be the only thing that stop."
She grinned in shock. "Oh you naughty boy..."
"I know....but tis so much fun...." Heero went into the next room, then walked back in
wearing a fresh midnight blue tunic. He eyed Sia. "I think you would look good in
midnight blue as well."
"I think i ahev one..lesse if i do." And she went into her chambers. She emerged in
Midnight blue, wearing a 'matching' cloak.
"Well...this is the closest thing to midnight blue...its 11:00 blue."
"Good enough. Now, lets go see what Saria was talking about when she said about stopping
Treize." Heero grinned and led her out by the hand.
She nodded and began to murmur. "I just hope they haven't been fighting long enough to
be totally taken over by the fighting."

Saria stood in the middle of the taven, looking about her. She had had sense enough to
trade in her elegant black dress for an equally beautiful but cheaper dress.She had also
modified her features a bit. Her normally raven hair had been changed to an auburn, and
changed her eyes to emerald green. This was how the people in Krendlan knew her, and by
the name of Elena.
"Miss Elena, how good to see ye!" A tipsy old man raised his tankard to her in a firendly
greeting.
"Hello, Althan," she smiled.
Soon the whole tavern was greeting her with cires of "Whereve you been?" and "Callie still
has that recipe for ambrosia bread!" Saria had been popular in this particular tavern after
she had taught the local tax collector a lesson.
"Does anyone know where I can find Corin?," she asked, taking a swig of her mead.
Normally it was considered improper for a woman to drink, but it had made her popular as
well, and she'd rather not have to argue with them.
"Old Corin? Yea, I know him...." A person she had not recognized spoke up. He was
dressed in red all the way up and down. Saria narrowed her eyes.
"So who are you, neighbor?"
The man looked up. "Names Teral.Ill take you to him free of charge."
Imwardly Saria cursed. She couldnt sense anything coming from the man when she was
not in usual form. She also didnt have any of her "godly tools" with her as Quatre liked to
joke. "All right neighbor, lets go see old Corin."
She let the man lead her outside. "Wheres your horse?"
"I walk," replied Teral.
Saria shook her head. Idiots.
"So," asked the man, "How many people do you have working for you?"
"What?"
"Youre the Goddess. And you interfere too much."
"Who are you exactly?"
"I am actually working for somebody, but Id rather not tell you who."
"Treize, right?"
"No."
Saria narrowed her eyes. "Then who?"
"I told you, Id rather not say. And being as I was created by someone else theres nothing
you can do to me to make me tell you."
Saria swore, and the man laughed. "Dont worry, Im not going to abduct you or anything. I
just want to know where my tiger got to."
"CORIN, YOU OLD COOT!!!"
The man busted out laughing. "Hello to you too, Saria. You can change back now."
Swearing furiously, she fixed her hair and eyes back to thier normal colors and regained
her little tools. "Now what did you need, My Lady?"
"Well, I wanted to know if you knew anything about Treize and his lackeys."
"He hates paying back debts."
"I know that."
"Well, hes after you and your people." She stopped.
"What? Why?"
"He thinks that if he can somehow put you out of comission things will go his way."
She snorted. "Hope he has about three thousand years."
Corin grinned. "He doesnt. Well, you better get back...I heard from a very good source that
theres a certain blonde knight that misses you."
Saria swore at him and blushed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hilde gasped and stepped back. "What?"
"I told you woman, Im here to capture you and take you to Treize! Now quit being weak
and just come along with me!"
"Hey, she doesn't have to go anywhere she doesnt want to!" Duo stood up angrily and
advanced on the stranger who called himself Wufei.
"Yes she does! Now get out of my way you weakling!"
A stubby ebony dragon flew down, carrying Catherine.
"Roar!" Sushie said, blowing fire on Wufei;s backside. "Away you insolent Chinese
Blaggard! Under the order of Countess Sia Monorrue, i order you to refrain from hurting
them!" Catherine said.
Wufei sneered. "What do I care of some Countess? I will not stop of anything less than a
godly force!"
"THEN FEEL THIS FORCE!" Sushie yelled, his teeth bearing. "Il bite you and rob you
of your blood, you scurvey Jap!" And Sushie bit into his steeds, hide, hopping Catherine
off. Catherine ran to Duo and Hilde."Begging my pardon, Your Grace and sir, I was asked
by the Goddess Saria to take you to her. She requests your services."
SUshie had Wufei pounced to the ground. "I should save you for Heero and Sia, but if
Catherine and Hilde and that man with her allow it, ill eat you here and now,
UNDERSTAND?"
"Fine!" Wufei closed his eyes and thought this was the worst injustice he had ever felt.
Hilde drew herself up. "There is only one Goddess, and that is Darenica. There is no such
thing as that Ancient Goddess. She is simply and old myth created to scare children out of
naughty behavior!"
Duo shook his head. "I dont know, so leave me out of this."
Sushie clawed Wufei and ran to Catherine."Listen here, High Priestess, ma'am. If you do
not come with us, you have heard of Vampires right? You don't want to meet her in a dark
ally. You will meet her on lighter circumstances. Now get onboard. Now."
Catherine looked at Sushie. "You have to expand if you want to fit us three on there. And
I must inquire. He is a bit of a moody dragon, I would listen to him. His masters and the
Goddess I speak of, AND DONT YOU DARE SASS ME, requires your visit!."
Sushie was stricken by Catherine's tone. He expanded to the length to fit three people.
"Countess Sia will be happy. the sooner you cooperate, the sooner this will end and the
sooner her and Heero can be shucking and jiving."
"Dun talk like that, Sushie." Catherine said.
Hilde was turning fifteen different shades of red at this last statement. She had tried to
block these sort of thoughts from her head, but she supposed it couldn't be helped. Her
very religious theology had been shaken very badly.
"So.....there is no Goddess called Darenica? I've spent years of my life being High Priestess
for some imaginary deity?"
"Yes, basically. Now get on board or I will call the countess here." Catherine said, rolling
her eyes.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sia and Heero stood before the advanging...25 goblin army. she held the staff in her
hands, the fists clutching the staff tighter in her hands. "Capitano Screem."
The leader came to a halt and said something in his language.
"I am here to stop you. Kill you mostly." She held her staff infront of her and the gem
glowed bright red. Her eyes sparking, and she made it float.
"Die!"
The reflections of the wave hit off the goblins onto her. She yelled and dropped the staff.
"AHH!"
She fell to the ground, clutching her head.Heero knelt by her.
"It......it didnt work....." She lay there, wide eyed, not moving.
"Sia are you all right?"
"What do you think?"
Heero smiled. "Ill take that as a no."
Sia moaned, and the smile fled from his face. "I guess this means I failed my mission......."
She struggled to get to her knees.
"Sia, sit. Dont overtax yourself," said Heero firmly, gently pushing her to the ground.
"I suppose youre right, but......" She forced herself to her feet. "As they say, or maybe as I
say I don't care which, fight ugly beings with an ugly being. Heero, i have somthing to tell
you." She held out her hand, looking at the small cross on her right hand on her middle
knuckle.
"Sia......."
"A while ago, i was given a power. I can transform, sort of. Into some sort of cat girl. And
doing so, makes my powers amplified. I won't have much from the stupid twig, but it's
enough to stop the small scaley bunch."
"I'll be behind you every step of the way, love." He squeezed her hand gently.
She grinned. "Thank ye, love. Now i need to get kitty with it." She walked forward.
"...Here we go..." she shut her eyes tightly, repopening them to a glowing orange. "The
transformation that is probably going to make him drown into his drool."she held her
knuckle out in a punch position the cross grew bright. Screem shielded his beaty black
orbs as his followers. A small growl of a tiger came from somewhere and a blinging light,
well blinding to the naked mole rat people and she floated, the hands and feet whch were
once paled became black and furry. She landed, a tail emitting, her ears replaced by that of
a cts and her eyes, brownish Goldenrod and gleaming. Her fangs were longer.
"Alright. This is embarassing."
Heero was still gazing at her, still under the shock of the transformation.
"Meow. Come play with kitty."
Heero snickered to himself. "Good kitty..."
Just to tease him, she purred. and then let her claws grow to the standard three inches.
Then to a foot. Screem and his army scrramed like Relena in an opera and stood their
ground. A bright flash occured and the army laid on the ground, SIa blowing on her
clows, transforming back to the vampiress.
Heero smiled. "Thats my kitty."
"Purrrrr. Well, we won't have retaliation from them and now the only war we have to be
concerned about is Treize Tushrenada and them Line between two realms. I had my fun/
And i conclude my speech...and I'm spent." And she fell over.
Heero smiled and picked her up. My Sia.... he thought lovingly
