Wufei's aim was true. Heero was as good as dead as the arrow sped toward his heart,
The Gods, being just and merciful, were not quite ready to take the one-time warrior's soul. He had one more mission to accomplish. A ball of cold blue flame shot from the roiling clouds and came between Heero and the arrow, which disintegrated as it entered the luminous orb. The flame then covered Heero's body. Each of the arrows disappeared and his wounds were healed. It then covered each of his companions, each in his turn, healed and unbound them. The flame then shot toward the nearby mountain of Daimajin and disappeared.
Chang Wufei had never encountered the power of the Gods. He now stood, enraged and dumbfounded as he stared at his former allies. He turned and grabbed another arrow, and he then shot it at Heero Yuy. The arrow stopped six inches from his body and fell as if dropped by hand. Chang then fired at the other three of his captives. Each of the former soldiers stood with a stoic sureness as the arrows acted as the first and laid upon the ground.
"What is this?" a distraught Wufei screamed. "Guard, go check Yuy's body!"
A soldier ran and tried to touch the now still body with his pike. The blade of his weapon could get no closer than the arrows did. He then reached up and tried to grab an unmoving shoulder. He dropped dead when his hand reached what seemed to be an unbreachable barrier.
"Injustice! Guards kill the other three prisoners!" Wufei's face had by now turned an ugly shade of purple.
Three guards charged toward the prisoners, pikes lowered. Their blades could not breach the field that now surrounded their prey. Each fell dead in his tracks.
Wufei, by now in a near psychotic frenzy, was about to order his whole army to attack the prisoners when an ominous rumbling came from the mountain of Daimajin.
Relena had watched the episode with growing apprehension. She could tell who the Gods favored this day. She spoke to stop her husband from sacrificing even more lives. "Husband, it is time we stop. It is clear that we will not be able to kill the three vermin. We have achieved what we came here for. I have been avenged and we now rule this city. Let us go and celebrate our victory." Relena awaited her husband's reply, knowing that it would only delay the inevitable.
Wufei loosed a frustrated howl. "Aaaraughhh!!!" He then turned to his wife with a scowl. "You are right, my queen. As for my former compatriots," he turned toward the remaining three captives, "you are banished from my territory. Take the corpse with you. May we never see each other again." He then turned to the citizens of his new city. "As for our new citizens, prepare yourself. Tomorrow your new life begins." He smirked at the thought of the agony he would bring Heero's people. The evil Chang then took his wife's arm and entered an awaiting coach, which then sped toward their castle.
Duo Maxwell, Trowa Barton and Quatre Winner then turned and unbound the seemingly lifeless body of their companion. The body had no signs of rigor mortise, and was as beautiful as they had seen at the beginning of this tragic day. They turned and headed toward the rumbling mountain of Daimajin, supporting the body by it's shoulder's as the carried it along. The conquered citizens watched them as they disappeared and the dispersed, fearing what the morrow would bring.
