Chapter 11
---------------------------
10 minutes later they were all sweating from the incredible heat.
"It's- to- hot- onna," Wufei said in between breaths.
The g-boys all had sweat rolling down their foreheads. She thought for a minute.
She turned to look at the G-boys and raised her hands. A small sphere of water formed in them.
"What are you doing Ami," Duo said with a nervous chuckle.
"Mercury-" she started, her voice starting out low and slowly getting louder.
Duo started freaking out. Heero raised an eyebrow, although remained in a monotone.
Quatre frowned and took a step back, and Trowa remained silent.
"ONNA, are you attacking us, I knew you were not to be trusted. This is injustice! Being frozen to death by a weak onna"! You can just guess who said that.
"Bubbles Blast," she finished. The attack left her hand. It exploded into a cool mist.
Normally this would have made them extremely cold, but at temperatures high and rising over 100, it was more of a cooling sensation spreading around the area, making it bearable, for now.
They looked around.
"How did you do that," Duo said.
Mercury clicked her visor, currently un-interested in what Duo was saying. There were about 3 children around her, her visor was picking it up, but she couldn't tell exactly where.
She looked around. There was a strange energy source coming from the next turn. She walked cautiously over. Something swung at her right away.
She ducked as if playing limbo. A sword. A small wisp of her hair fell to the floor. She jumped back. Whatever was there came out.
A blue youma who could form it's arms into a sword emerged. Behind it were 3 children, all in some sort of bubble. Filled with air.
"Destroy me and you may have these 3 children," it said. This youma was obviously created for this special task, and probably had no other thoughts but to destroy her.
It started slashing at her like mad. Ami was no swords woman. She backed away. She ducked at the first few slashed, and was able to drop to the floor and kick the youma to the ground.
However, it would not give up easily, and jumped back up slashed her side. She let out a shriek and backed away, finding herself at a wall.
The youma raised the sword and she braced herself. And felt nothing. She looked up. Wufei and the youma were engadged in a sword fight. Wufei was fast, and the youma was hardly able to keep up with his moves.
She stood up and started to do an attack. She started spinning around slowly. Little droplets of water formed around her. She stood still and gathered it in her hand.
"WUFEI! MOVE!"
"Shine Aqua Illusion," she screamed after instructing Wufei to move.
The attack hit the monster dead on, destroying it.
"Thanks Wufei," she said, approaching the 3 kids.
"We wouldn't be able to get out without your computer," he said defiantly, trying to act as if he wasn't trying to help. She knew otherwise. She just smirked and walked over to the kids.
The bubbles had dissapeared, leaving the 3 children lying on the floor asleep. She picked them up, giving one to Quatre, one to Trowa, and one to Duo.
"Why do we have to carry," whined Duo. Mercury turned to glare at him.
"Don't be an idiot, there are still alot more children to save and carry."
"Is your side alright miss Ami," Quatre asked.
For the first time she looked down at her side. Blood had leaked through the side a little.
"Call me Mercury right now, and yes, it's fine Quatre, thanks for asking."
They came to a fork in the path. There were 2 pathways across hot lava. Ami analyzed it with her computer, and came up with nothing.
She clikced the screen off and looked around. She closed her eyes for a minute and thought. She decided to go with her intuition.
"Let's go left," she said.
"No, right," said a voice.
Heero and Wufei were heading toward the right.
"Wufei, Heero, can we please go with the lady with the super powers," Duo begged. The kid he was holding rolled over in his arms.
"AHHH! It moved," he screeched. Ami rolled her eyes.
"He's asleep, kid's roll over sometimes when they sleep,' she said.
'I'm not going with the onna untill I get an explanation," Wufei said, sitting down on the floor and crossing his arms indignantly. Heero pulled out his gun.
"He's right, we've been here a long time and we don't even know why. Explain or I'll put a pistol through your skull," he said.
Mercury was certainly not afraid of a gun, but decided it would be faster to explain and get it over with.
"We are here because Setsuna has been captured by the enemy and we must complete 4 levels of places so that I can save her. I am on my third. Right now, our mission is to save all these kids from being barbequed, I'll explain more thoroughly later, but we have to go now."
She continued carefully down the left pathway. Wufei eventually realized he was alone since the explanation had been good enough for Heero to keep walking after everyone.
"So, after we gather all these kids, what do we do," Duo asked, eager to talk and extremely bored.
"We find a way out," was the simple response.
"So, in other words..." Quatre said trailing off.
"I'm making this up as I go along," she said offering a nervous chuckle.
This brought a deadly silence to the area.
"Don't worry, I'll get us out, I've been in much worse places than this," she said.
"Injustice, were stuck in a place filled with lava with a weak onna who doesn't know what the heck she's doing being watched by a bunch of evil people," Wufei said.
"Aww, leave Mercury alone, I'm sure she'll get us out," Duo said.
"You have NO pride at all, following a weak onna around a place like this. You are all warriors, not babysitters!"
"Chill Wufei, unless you need me to help you do that," Mercury saidi said in a cold voice, her icy blue eyes narrowing as she glared.
This shut him up, causing her to shake her head and continue.
As Trowa was walking, the ground underneath him suddenly broke.
He let out a gasp as he fell.
Quatre ran to catch his hand, and Mercury mad a mad grab for the little girl he had been carrying.
She caught her. A sigh of relief followed. They pulled him up. She looked around.
They must have been unhappy with the progress she was making.
They continued more cautiously this time.
As they went, Ami saw a rock that seemed to be sticking out of the wall in the shap of- a lever?
She frowned and pulled it. The rock moved over to reveal a small room. There were about 7 children tied up there. Had she not taken the left path, they would never have found these kids.
"Come on,' she said, ushering for them to follow. They walked through and the wall closed again. They started untying the kids.
"How will we carry all of them," Heero said incrediously. Mercury looked around. She saw that 3 of the g-boys already had a kid.
She gave Trowa another kid to carry, Quatre another kid, and Duo another kid. Then she gave Heero and Wufei each two. Now there were only 5 more to carry. Wherever they were.
They walked through the place, happy to be out of the heat.
The came across a strange tunnel with wierd markings on it.
A crash behind them showed them that there was no returning when the tunnel collapsed after they crossed.
"Had you been able to read lunarian, you would have realized it said 'Place of no Return'."
She looked up, Tavia, Kina and Sukie floated above.
"Too bad your little Usagi wasn't here, then again, the girl is such a ditz, and you remember so little about your pasts that you wouldn't have known anyways," Tavia continued. Mercury clenched a fist, but lowered it to her side.
"Usagi may have her moments, but she has more integrity and a purer heart than the 3 of you combined," she said through clenched teeth.
"Oh don't be such a goodie good. You scouts are so loyal for your princess that you actually die for her. What fools, when life is already so short and cruel," Kin said.
Ami rolled her eyes.
"Your insults mean nothing mainly because you read Pluto's memory for them," she said.
"Enough talk. Here, these are the last 5," Tavia said snapping her fingers. Ami and the gundam boys were able to run and catch 4, but the last one was missed.
They didn't even here a small thump of where she was supposed to hit the ground. They looked around. Sukie held the small girl.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING, SAVING THE HUMAN," Tavia screeched. She appeared next to Sukie and gave her a hard slap across the face.
Sukie dropped her, but by this time ami was prepared to catch her.
Sukie's hand rested on her face where Tavia had slapped her. She was silent, as she held her face.
Tavia had a look of rage on her face, and hatred in her eyes.
"Our master made us sware on his laws, no treachery, treason, or breaking his honor code. You have performed treason against the Nega Force, I should kill you for saving her," screamed Tavia.
Sukie floated above them, unmoving, silently debating.
"Ya know what Tavia, maybe i'll take that up," she said after a while.
"Huh," Tavia said.
Sukie flew towards her and punched Tavia heard in the jaw. They engadged in a battle. Sukie clearly was not the person she had been believed to be. Sukie was- helping them.
Tavia landed a few punched on Sukie's Jaw, causing her to start firing energy at her. Tavia was a little stronger. Sukie blasted Tavia to the ground. She looked around Franticlly.
She opened up a portal with the snap of her fingers.
"Go through quickly, and consider your third challenge finished, hurry, before she gets up," she said.
They g-boys ran through, followed by Ami, who stopped at the entrance to the portal.
"What about you,"she said.
Tavia got up looking mad. She formed a giant attck in her hands that looked like it could destroy the room.
"I'm outa here, see ya at headquarters Tavia, nice knowin ya Sukie!"
He teleported away.
Sukie knew she wouldn't escape the balst that was heading towards her.
"Bye Ami. Wish I had gotten to know you in a different way," Sukie said.
The blast covered her competly. The force of the attack knocked Mercury throught the portal. There was a scream and it closed on it's own.
She turned to look at the g-boys. They had the children layed out on the mats. They looked at her in a funny way. She clicked her tiara, detransforming.
Tears brimmed her eyes at the loss. She said a prayer in hopes that Sukie lived on in God's kingdom.
She turned to the g-boys.
"The parents will be here to pick up their kids any minute. Leave, and I will explain to you when I get back to the school," she said having a hard time keeping the remourse and anger out of her voice. Most departed silently, most looking in a nasty mood.
She checked the kids. Not a scratch on them.
Sukie was a good person after all.
A small piece of paper floated down to her. The final clue. The hardest one. She opened it and began to read.
