Gundam Steel
Chapter 5
Is It Wise?
"I don't think it's a good idea to bring her along." Heero said in his standard monotone voice. "She knows about us now, she should be dealt with." Heero pulled out his gun and pointed it at the elf girl.
"No you can't!" Quatra pleaded with Heero as he put his body in front of the gun.
"Out of the way Quatra, she is a dangerous element to the mission." Heero didn't remove the gun.
"What mission?" Quatra asked Heero.
"To get back to outer space." Heero started to pull the trigger.
"Forget about outer space," Duo jumped into the argument, "First we have to get back to Earth."
Trowa and Wufei just stood by and watched the three argue about wheather or not to spare the Elf's life. To Trowa and Wufei it didn't matter how it turned out.
Quatra, Duo and Heero argued for a few minutes, or rather Quatra and Duo did. Heero just gave the two his calm "in-command" attitude. Heero then lifted the gun to point Quatra right between the eyes.
"If she lives, you will take the responsibility of watching her. Should she get in the way, I'll kill both of you." Heero's tone was serious all the way. Quatra swallowed nervously and nodded yes. Heero then re- holstered his gun in a small holster inside his shirt. He gave Quatra a quick annoyed glare and then walked a little distance away from the group and in the direction of the city.
"We can't wait for the fool woman to wake up." Wufei finally spoke.
"We should share the responsibility." Trowa said.
"I'll start carrying her." Quatra offered. He bent over and putting a hand behind the elf girl's head and one behind her knees he picked her up.
"She's very light." Quatra noted. "I can carry her the whole way."
"Hmph," Wufei frowned.
Another half a day passed, the city could be seen in the horizon, about 2 miles to be exact. Even from this distance, the 5 boys could see a very big and menacing castle. Not menacing as in dark, gothic, occult style, but as in extremely well built and defended. Quatra still carried the sleeping elf, and he wasn't tired in the slightest. However, the 5 boys were hesitant to approach any closer.
"It could be dangerious." Quatra pointed out.
"We need to find out more and maybe get some info on what the local customs are." Duo said.
"Shouldn't you know that?" Trowa asked.
"Hey, I read the stories but that was a long time ago."
"Then your our volunteer." Heero said to Duo.
"Hey, who made you in charge." Duo said, annoyed at Heero.
"He's the only one who has any idea what's going on." Trowa added in.
"I agree." Quatra smiled at Duo
"BUT…." Duo started to panic
"If Duo goes then he will need backup." Wufei offered. Everyone looked at the Chinese pilot. "I'll go with Duo, I'm interested in finding some strong people here. None of these pathetic orc things, or little women." At Wufei's offer, Duo calmed down a little. At least he wouldn't be alone.
"What about the girl?" Duo asked Quatra.
"She'll stay with us until she awakens." He replied.
"Well let's not waste time." Wufei urged on as he started jogging towards the city, followed closely by Duo who was grumbling death threats on Heero.
For Gundam pilots, a simple two mile jog was no problem. Stopping behind some bushes and trees outside of the main gate to the city that surrounded the castle, Duo and Wufei plotted their next move.
