Kingdom Gundam: Chapter Nine
Here we are at the next stop, Duo said, cheerfully.
Trowa asked, taking off the headphones.
We're at Deep Jungle! Duo said, taking out the picture. Don't worry, Timothy. We're almost there, he thought
Duo! Watch out! Wufei yelled.
Duo said, looking up. They were about to run into a tree. Duo screamed, trying to avoid it.
~In the tree house, a little later~
Where are we? Wufei asked, just waking up. Duo? Trowa? He looked around. Duo, if this is one of your tricks, I'm going to kill you! Something growled behind him. Not Cerberus again, Wufei sighed, turning. He was face to face with a leopard. Wufei yelped; the leopard snarled and was about to hit Wufei, when he rolled out the way. Wufei pushed himself up and to his feet. Great. I come here to fight a leopard. What do I look like? Tarzan? The leopard jumped, and Wufei hit it with the keyblade. The leopard growled, then tried to attack him, again. Wufei was just agile enough to not get hit by him. Wufei hit the leopard, harder, and it flew into the wall. That was close, Wufei said, wiping the sweat from his brow. Wufei turned to walk away. The leopard got to its feet and ran towards Wufei. It jumped, about to hit him, then, from nowhere came a brown haired, brown eyed man. Wufei turned. Whoa! Tarzan! The man knocked the leopard away, and the leopard ran, in fear.
Sabor, danger, he said.
Yeah, I know, Wufei said. Thanks, Tarzan.
We meet before?
No, I just know your name. My name's Wufei. Tarzan looked at him, sort of funnily. Me, Wufei, Wufei said, pointing to himself. Then he pointed at Tarzan. You, Tarzan. Me, Wufei, you Tarzan.
You, Wufei?
Yeah. Have you seen one else like me? Duo, Trowa, Heero or Quatre?
Yes! Friends! Have you seen them?
Follow me, Tarzan said, walking out of the tree house, like a gorilla.
This is so cool, Wufei thought. Wait until I tell Heero I was talking with his favorite person.
~In the Bamboo Forest~
Uh, Trowa? Duo asked, waking up.
You're on top of me, Trowa said, fiddling with his radio. And it broke. Trowa threw it to the other side of the clearing. Suddenly, a powerwild (monkey) appeared and picked it up.
It's not good to liter, the powerwild said, before he disappeared with the radio.
~At the camp~
After tree surfing, which Wufei loved, they went into the camp and to the tent.
said a brown haired, blue eyed woman with an English accent. Oh, who's your friend?
I'm Wufei, he said,
Oh, you're not related to Tarzan? she asked.
Nope. He found me in the treehouse. A tall man, with black hair and black eyes came in.
I found these two in the forest, he said, dropping Duo.
Hey! Wufei! Duo said, waving. Trowa looked troubled.
What's wrong, Trowa? Wufei asked.
A heartless talked to me, Trowa said. He told me that it's not good to liter, after I threw my radio. Then he took my radio.
Wufei said, rolling his eyes.
I told you he wouldn't believe me! Just like you! Trowa yelled at Duo. Duo and Wufei exchanged concerned glances.
Did Catherine pack your medications? Duo asked.
I don't take medications! Trowa yelled.
Calm down, Trowa, Wufei said.
I will not calm down! Did they believe you when you told them about the dancing mushrooms and the talking fish, Wufei? What about the voice in your head, Duo? Did anyone believe you?!
Maybe we should step outside, she said, pushing the guy out. Trowa sat down on the ground, his head in his hands. Tarzan followed.
How did you know about the mushrooms and the fish? Wufei asked.
Or the voice in my head? Duo asked. Trowa didn't stir. Duo went over to him and touched his shoulder. Trowa fell over, asleep.
Wufei asked, shaking him. He didn't stir.
He's like you, dead when you sleep, Duo said.
I am not dead when I sleep, Wufei snapped.
Looks like we'll have to go without him, Duo said.
We are not going without him! Wufei shook him, harder. Trowa murmured something. Trowa, wake up! Don't leave me with him for another world!
I'm tired, he said, a little louder.
Come on, wake up. When this is over, we'll go rent a room in Traverse Town and we can sleep, okay? Trowa opened his eyes and sat up. Are you ready to get this over with? Trowa nodded. Now, how did you know about the voice in Duo's head, the dancing mushrooms and the talking fish?
The lady of the story told me, Trowa said.
Lady of the story? You mean the boss? Trowa nodded.
You told me she liked Quatre! Duo yelled.
She does! Wufei yelled back.
It looks like to me she has the hots for Trowa! Trowa stood, while they were still arguing and went outside. The lady came up to him.
Are you okay, sir? she asked.
Yes, I'm sorry if I had frightened you. I was clearly not myself. My name's Trowa Barton.
And mine's Jane Porter. He's Clayton.
We're here to find some monkey's for research, Clayton said. Yet Tarzan refuses to take us to the nesting grounds. Trowa looked at Tarzan, then went over to him.
Do you trust them? Trowa asked, in guerilla language. Tarzan was sort of taken back.
What's this? Jane asked, coming beside Trowa.
Tarzan answered, in the language. Yet, Kerchak won't let any humans near the nesting grounds.
He's the alpha male? Trowa asked. Tarzan nodded. I see. I would be protective, too, if I were him.
Jane exclaimed. Trowa can communicate with Tarzan in his native tongue!
Simply remarkable, Clayton said, rolling his eyes. What a complete waste of time!
I don't know, Trowa said to Tarzan. I don't trust your friend Clayton. I sense there's something dark within him.
You have senses like an animal.
I get along better with animals than I do humans, most of the time. My friends are my only exception. Tarzan nodded. Trowa turned to face Clayton. To guerilla's, the nesting grounds are sacred. In my opinion, you shouldn't even be looking for the nesting grounds, unless you have hidden agenda. Suddenly, there was screaming within the tent. Excuse me, Trowa said, walking in.
My, what a talkative fellow he is, Jane said.
A little too talkative, Clayton said.
Trowa said, trying to interrupt their dispute.
Shut up, Trowa! Duo snapped. Trowa was taken back. No one has ever told him to shut up. Wufei started to laugh. Duo looked at Wufei, as if he were sick.
Did you hear yourself? Wufei asked. You told Trowa to shut up! And he barely even talks.
I've talked enough for today, Trowa said. Enough to last a lifetime. Listen, the guerillas need our help. With Clayton around-
Come on, Trowa, Duo said. Clayton is a cool guy! Trowa didn't respond. They came out of the tent.
Tarzan has agreed to show us where the nesting grounds are, Clayton said, looking mockingly at Trowa. He's going with you all to talk with Kerchak. Wufei looked at Trowa, who stared quietly at the ground.
~In the treetops with Tarzan~
Kerchak! Listen! These people are trustworthy, Tarzan said, to the gray back guerilla. These people are my friends. They would do nothing to harm the nesting grounds.
Can you understand it? Duo asked Wufei. Wufei shook his head.
Please, they need our help! Kerchak turned away.
Trowa suddenly said. Kerchak stopped, and looked at the other human.
Trowa, no, Tarzan said.
We don't want to harm your children or your wives. We are only seeking our friends and help. That's all we ask, Trowa said. Kerchak looked at Trowa, then at Tarzan.
I'll consider it, Kerchak said, turning and walking away.
Thank you, Trowa said. Tarzan looked at Trowa.
Duo said. I didn't know you were part monkey, Trowa. Trowa didn't say anything.
Let's go back to the tree house, Wufei suggested.
~At the tree house~
Terk, Tarzan's friend, was spinning a globe in the tree house. A riffle was pointed at him, held by Clayton. Trowa ran up to him, and tackled him. The gun went off and the guerilla got away.
I can't believe you! Trowa yelled, enraged. Aiming at a defenseless monkey?! I knew you had hidden agenda's!
Trowa, get off of Clayton, Wufei said. You're tired and cranky-
Tried and cranky?! Listen, Wufei, you care about your clan's honor and justice. I care about animals, and this guy was aiming at that monkey!
Clayton said. A snake was approaching the guerilla. I would have saved that monkey's life! Trowa crossed his arms.
Trowa sneered, walking off.
Duo asked, about to run after him. Wufei stopped him.
Let him go, Wufei said, looking at Clayton. We have to go tell Jane about this.
How do you know? Duo asked. Wufei pulled out a cell phone.
The boss gave me this, he said. She's played the game, but haven't beaten it.
Great, we're going to stay in here, forever, Duo mumbled, following Wufei and Tarzan.
Trowa walked into the bamboo forest, again. On the stump, he saw the powerwild, dancing with his headphones on. Powerwilds were around him, cheering him on. Trowa looked amused.
I see you got it to work, Trowa said. The powerwilds stopped and looked at him. The powerwild smiled evilly, while the other's disappeared. He took off the headphones.
You ruined my party, the powerwild said. Now I ruin you!
~At the camp~
How could you do such a thing?!
Miss Porter, I was just trying to help the little monkey, that's all, Clayton said.
I forbid you to go near the guerillas! Jane said, putting her hands on her hips.
Be reasonable- Clayton said, then quieted. Everyone didn't look happy with him, so he turned and left.
You should go check on your friend, Jane said. I do hope he's alright.
So do I, Wufei said, concerned. Come on. Tarzan, are you coming along? Tarzan nodded, and followed after them.
