Slayers and Gundams, Oh My!
A/N: I figured why wait, since I got such nice reviews!! Oh, for the confused ones, Riley is in this and I have a good reason for this. I was too confused by the newest turn of events in BtVS, so I kinda am taking a poetic license on this.
To the reviewers: Thanks for the review, Spuffy the Witch, real confidence booster!!! Kolinshar Jackie-chan Benito, great to know someone has this on a #1 list out there! *runs up and glomps you.* adb, I can't tell you, just read this chapter to find out! *evil smirking*. Nikki Smith2000, wow! You're the first person in a while that likes Atwater-Rhodes books!! That's cool! *happy jumping up and down* Elithraniel, thanks for the kind words! Just for the record, you are all my new best friends, and have gotten me to write this next chapter! Weeeeee!
Same disclaimer: GW, Buffy and everything involved is not mine, nor does it belong to my muse, Shini-neko the talking cat!! We don't have any money now, we spent it on bake sale cookies shaped like Chibi Gundam pilots and Gundams, as well as Sephiroth cuz he's just cool!
Yay! Here goes chapter 2!!!
Chapter Two:
Five minutes had passed since they were sent through a portal into the past, but already they were being attacked. The shadows hid the beings well, but not quite well enough to be over looked by the Perfect Soldier and the God of Death.
Duo was the first to notice them, nothing more than a blurred movement out of the corner of his eyes, but it alerted him. Jabbing his elbow into Heero's side, Duo jerked his head slightly to the left, and said in a slightly singsong voice, "We have company.."
Heero glanced around, eyes narrowed and ready to glare at anyone who crossed his path. Within a moment, both Heero and Duo had a gun in hand and ready to fire. They cautiously began walking, eyeing the tree line suspiciously as if it would come to life and attack them.
A twig snapped.
Duo swirled and aimed his .45 to the left. A slight snickering could be heard from the trees, and before the pilots could react efficiently, a sickly looking green monstrosity with enough horns on it's head to be a rhino's dream-date pounced out at them. It stood on all fours, like a wolf or lion, though it had reptilian look to it. The wide mouth was set in a snarl, it's ugly dagger-like teeth ready to tear the closest person to it apart. Unlucky for Duo, he was the closest.
Duo gasped as Heero shot at it, but the bullets didn't seem to bug it much. "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS THING?!?!?!" Duo's voice cracked as he began firing off a round at the creature, aiming for the exposed skin of it's belly.
The monstrosity shrieked in rage and pain, jumping at Duo who had barely moved out of the way of it's claws in time. Duo shot at the creature again, but as he took aim a second time, the creature knocked the gun out of his grasp, sending a sharp pain up Duo's arm.
Heero began shooting again, aiming for the belly, hoping to get the thing away from Duo long enough for him to retrieve his gun and reload. The creature jumped at Heero and knocked him off his feet, as Duo scurried for his gun. As Duo grasped the weapon and turned, ready to fire again, the creature was being attacked again and again by a blond woman. A group of 4 others stood off to the side, cheering the woman on as another person, a young man with brownish hair, was rushing over to help Heero to his feet.
Heero glared at the newcomers and swatted at the one trying to help him.
Duo scurried towards Heero, and literally fell over next to him. Looking at the brownish haired man who Heero had swatted, Duo demanded, "What the heck's goin' on!?"
"It doesn't matter! Get out of here, this is dangerous for civilians!" The man said trying to push or pull the unmoving Heero and the frantically blinking Duo out of the way of the blond. Duo got to his feet and backed away from the man with an evil grin on his face.
"Heero, any chance you got a rocket launcher in that spandex space of yours?" Duo asked glancing back the woman, who had just pinned the reptilian lion thing to the ground, and looking quite murderous.
Heero, just glared at Duo, "No."
"Okay, then I'll just ignore this guy who thinks we're defenseless civilians," he shoot an evil look at the man, who as you more than likely guessed, was Riley, and continued, "…and help blondie over there smash that… that thing… Cuz dammit! It cut my arm!"
Heero just tossed the other gun to duo, stood up, glared at Riley, and pulled out two more guns out of spandex space[1]. "Hn."
And with that, the two of them walked over, quite calmly, though Duo was pretty much skipping…. Only to find that the blonde woman….
Had already killed the thing.
"Well, damn." Duo said, huffing and crossing his arms. "I wanted to shoot that thing!"
[1] He doesn't have a handy rocket launcher, but he has extra guns? Shame, shame, Hee-chan!
A/N: Sorry, another short chapter, but I promise, the next one will be longer! Expect it to be posted by the November 14th, since I haven't started on it yet. If it's not out by then, expect it before the 20th. But, let's just hope my muse is nicer to me this week than she has been the last 2 weeks! *happily hugs his muse, who coughs and gags after being strangled.* Ja for now!
