Kingdom Gundam: Chapter Twenty-Three

~Approaching Hollow Baston~

Wufei sat, extremely quiet in the gummi ship. Duo was teaching Timothy how to play chest and Trowa was driving.

Trowa said, suddenly. Are you okay? Wufei didn't respond. He took out his cell phone and put it to his ear. Trowa looked concerned, watching Wufei in the rear view mirror. Wufei looked disgusted, throwing the cell phone across the ship.

Duo asked, looking up. Timothy turned around. Wufei looked totally zoned out. Timothy and Duo exchanged glances. What's wrong? Wufei didn't respond. Fine, if you're going to act like Heero and bottle up whatever is going on, then go ahead. Don't blame me if you go insane.

Do you really know what's going on with him? Timothy asked. Duo shook his head.

I don't know, he started zoning out back at Wonderland. This isn't good. Not good at all.

Timothy said. What if Wufei doesn't turn out to be the keyblade master? What if it's someone else. Would you abandon him?

I never thought of that, Duo said, looking at Wufei. I don't know. King Mickey told us to go with the person that's the key. If it's not him, then we'll have to follow the key. I would hate to leave him, though. Timothy took out the thick book.

he said, giving it to Duo. It might come in handy. Duo opened his mouth, to say something, but Trowa interrupted him.

We're here, Trowa said. Hollow Baston.

~Rising Falls~

Trowa said.

We have to go up there, Wufei said, pointing towards a landing.

Yeah, we know, Duo said. But, Woofie- Wufei jumped to one of the moving platforms. He's ignoring us, Duo whispered to Trowa. What's gotten into him?

I don't have a clue, Trowa said back. This is really strange. Wufei doesn't just ignore us like this. He hasn't before.

Why have you made the journey here? Heero demanded. You're strong. You made it without a ship, so why? Your journey has been in vain.

I came for Belle, the Beast said. I love her. My heart guided me here.

Well, if you want her, you'll have to get by me! Suddenly, the Beast growled and lunged at Heero. Heero quickly stepped aside and hit him with his sword.

Wufei said.

Well, well, if it isn't Wufei and the three musketeers, Heero said.

Heero, why are you doing this? Duo demanded. Don't you see you're working for the dark side?

And being the god of death isn't dark? Heero asked.

Well, I, uh, um, Duo said, not finding any words.

Well, let's see who the true keyblade master is! Heero said, holding out his hand. Suddenly, the keyblade flew from Wufei's hand to Heero's. Maleficent was right, Heero said. I am the true keyblade master! Duo's mouth dropped open.

Timothy said, shaking his head. Wufei looked bewildered.

Come. Your king said you should follow the one with the key, didn't he? Heero asked. Trowa started walking towards Heero.

Duo said, in protest. Trowa stopped and sighed.

Duo, come on, he said, sort of hurt. King Mickey told us to follow the key. Heero is the keyblade master, now. Duo looked at Wufei, sympathetically.

I'm sorry, Wu-

Wufei snapped. Duo slowly joined Trowa and Heero.

I won't leave you defenseless, Heero said, with a smirk. He threw the wooden sword at Wufei's feet. You were just a delivery boy, nothing more. I knew I would win in the end. Heero and the others walked away.

Why didn't you go as well? Wufei asked Timothy. I thought you were going to follow Trowa to the end.

Because, you need someone more than Trowa does right now, Timothy said. Wufei looked at Timothy. You're pretty defenseless. That sword won't give you much defense. I'll defend you. Together, we can go save Quatre. He thought about it for a moment, then gave a quick nod.

You're right, Wufei said. Quatre needs us, and I'm not leaving until I help him. Suddenly, the Beast started to walk past them. Whoa! Careful! You're injured!

I came to save Belle, and I'm not leaving until I save her, the Beast said.

We're all in the same boat, Wufei said. We may not be too strong independently, but together we're strong. Let's go help our friends! The Beast and Timothy nodded, in agreement.

~The Grand Hall~

After battling their way to the inside of the castle, they stood in the front hall.

Timothy said. This looks so much cooler in real life! Can I play in the fountain?

Wufei said, shaking his head. You don't need to get wet, yet. I have a bad feeling about this. It's too quiet. Stick together. Suddenly, Beast turned around.

he asked. The brown haired and brown eyed woman stood in a cubby. Suddenly, she turned into a shadow. The Beast roared, angrily, and jumped in the cubby, the wall closing in behind him.

That was smart, Timothy said.

Yeah, I know, Wufei said. That's an important lesson. Don't let your anger get the best of you.

Wow, Wufei! You're so philosophical, said a sarcastic voice behind them. They turned. Standing in front of the fountain was Heero, Duo and Trowa. Why did you come this far? You should have turned back. You're not the chosen one of the keyblade.

I don't need the keyblade, Wufei said. I never needed the keyblade. I all need is my heart. It's strong enough to over come any obstacle, not because it's alone. All of my friends are in my heart and they contribute to my strength. That's all I need.

Are you done preaching? Heero asked. Wufei, the odds are against you. I know your weakness and can use that against you. I also have Trowa and Duo on my side. Face it, Wufei, I'm more powerful than you. Duo, suddenly, ran over beside Wufei. Duo, what are you doing? Heero asked.

Woofie's my buddy. Not saying that you're not, Heero, but we've been through too much to be separated.

You'd betray your king?

Hey! The guy didn't give me an autographed picture of himself! Why should I follow someone who I don't even know? Hey, Trowa, tell Mickey Mouse that he's one of my favorite Disney characters and that I'm sorry!

We'll tell him we're sorry, together, Trowa called back, running over to their side. Sorry we abandoned you, Wufei.

It's okay, Wufei said, with a nod.

It doesn't matter, Heero said. I'll defeat you all. I'm the true Keyblade Master! Suddenly, the keyblade disappeared from Heero's hand. Heero asked. The keyblade appeared in Wufei's hand.

Well, what do you know, Wufei said, showing Heero the keyblade. I think you were delivering the keyblade to me. Heero growled, then he charged towards Wufei. Heero jumped up in the air, ready to slash him Wufei held out the keyblade and suddenly, thud! Heero's eyes grew wide as he fell. I'm surprised you didn't see that coming, Wufei said.

Heero said, his voice way higher. Well, I'm leaving. Heero disappeared into a dark portal.

Way to go, Woofie! Duo said, happily.

Come on, Timothy said, at the bottom of a stairwell. I think we're to go to the library.

The library? Trowa asked. Suddenly, this green portal appeared. Out stepped his blonde haired, blue eyed teenager, with pants and a t-shirt on.

Oh great, Wufei said, putting his hands on his hips. Who do you think you are?

I'm the new author of this story! he said. I'm Gwaihir, Elenwen's replacement.

Elenwen's replacement? repeated Duo and Trowa.

he said. And I'm offering to you three the chance of a lifetime, excluding Wufei. Timothy, how would you like to wield the keyblade, again?

Well, I would like it better than this laser, Timothy said, looking at his laser.

Duo, how would you like to be the main character?

Duo said, thinking.

You, Trowa, how would you like Catherine never to follow you, again? Trowa looked thoughtful. All you guys have to do is terminate Wufei.

What? Are you crazy? Timothy asked.

Gwaihir said, looking eagerly at Wufei. Wufei didn't know what to think.

That's murder, Timothy said. I'm too young to murder anybody. I can't even spell murder!

The offer is appealing, though, Trowa said. But I can't do it.

Why not? It'll just wipe his existence from reality-

But then, Treize would still be alive, Duo said. It'll change history. Sorry, no can do, Gwaihir. Gwaihir looked defeated.

Well, fine, he said. I'll make an offer to Heero, since Quatre is too heartless to even do what I'm proposing. He disappeared.

Duo said. Who is he and what's this all about? Wufei shook his head.

Let's go to the library, he said, walking off.

~Library~

I found it, Timothy called, running from another direction.

Great job! Where was it? Trowa asked, placing the yellow book back.

On a desk, Timothy said. I don't remember where. Wufei was walking along the shelves, when he saw a book laying in the middle of the walkway.

My book! Wufei cried, happily picking it up. Oh, I missed you! Where was I? Wufei sat down and began to read. Duo was on the other side of the bookcase, trying to shove the green book into it's slot.

Go in! Duo yelled, shoving it, hard. It went in, then the bookcase began to lean. Oh no, Duo said, frowning. The bookcase began to topple over. Wufei looked up, to see the books falling on him. That bookcase hit another bookcase, then another, and another. Trowa and Timothy came running.

What happened? Timothy asked.

The green book wouldn't go back with the green books, Duo sighed.

Where's Wufei? Trowa asked. Duo froze.

Oh no, Duo said, looking at the toppled over bookcases. I think he was on the next aisle over.

You killed him, Timothy said, in disbelief.

Not on purpose!

I can't believe you would go so low as to do that, Timothy said. All because you wanted to be the main character.

No! I- Duo said. Timothy turned and ran. Duo started after him.

Trowa said. Let him go.

I didn't mean to kill him, Trowa, Duo said. That's the last thing I want to do. I mean, he was our buddy. One of the family.

I know, Trowa said. But a ton bookcase is pretty heavy.

Oh man, Duo said. This is horrible. What am I going to tell Sally?

If what Gwaihir said is true, Sally won't remember him, Trowa said. And neither will we.

I'm sorry, buddy, Duo said, his eyes starting to well up with tears. What a horrible way to die. I thought dying by suffocation was bad, but being squashed like a bug-

Trowa said. Duo looked up. He would want us to keep going. He'd want us to save Quatre, so Quatre wouldn't turn out like he did. Duo nodded, following after Trowa, slowly.

I guess Gwaihir got his way, Duo said, walking away.

****************************
DS: Yes! I got rid of him! *Aerith storms in* Oh, hey baby. What's going on?
Aerith: I can't believe you! You're so cruel and uncaring!
DS: What's that supposed to mean?
Aerith: How could I love someone like you!? You tricked me! I hope Cloud will forgive me!

~Florida~

Cloud and nut job are on a sunny beach. Cloud is feeding her and nut job is feeding him. They giggle and then kiss a couple of times.

~Back to the bedroom~

DS: But Aerith! *Aerith leaves* This is strange. Ah! RS must be behind this! Only she would do something this crafty and cunning! Or, maybe it's- *Wufei walks in* Well, speak of the devil.
Wufei *smirking and sitting on the bed*: Enjoying yourself, Gwaihir?
DS: Well, yeah.
Wufei: That's nice.
DS: What possessed you to even come here?
Wufei: RS's review.
DS: What?! She reviewed?! *Wufei nodded, taking out the folded piece of paper. DS tries to take it, but Wufei snatches it away.* What does she say?
Wufei: Nothing that concerns you. Except she sent e-mails to all of your girl interests and told them what a slime ball you really are.
DS: WHAT?!
Wufei: Oh, there's more. She's coming back.
DS: Back??
Wufei: Yeah, she went to Japan for a little while.
DS: Japan?!
Wufei: She knows someone there. Anyway, I'll be keeping my job. You better suck up big time. Bye! *Wufei snickers on the way out*
DS: Oh well. I have to think up something to tell her...
