Chapter 4: The set up in progress

Schwartz was running thought the courtyard, looking for Ryan and his "brother" Keith. It was like a rage of flames growing inside his chest. He was very worried about Ryan, and more so about Sydney. He didn't know what would happen, and he didn't know what has happened to his best friend either. He just pushed it aside for now and concentrated on what was before him, his friend.

"God where are you?" He thought aloud. "I'll kill him if he did anything to you Ryan. My best friend."

He was running and he was getting tired, he had no idea where they were. Until he heard Ryan calling his name. He stopped running and looked around. He swore he heard Ryan, he heard the voice again. He looked up and there was Ryan hanging from the balcony.

"Ryan!"

"Schwartz leave, now. Don't save me. It's a set up!" He yelled to Schwartz.

"What are you talking about, I'm here and I'm getting you down!" And he took off.

"Schwartz wait don't do it!" To late he was up on the balcony untying him.

Ryan laughed "You never listen do you buddy?"

"No. Never, did you forget I'm bullheaded." He said with a chuckle.

Ryan just smiled a bit. He was free Schwartz got the ropes off and pulled him over the ledge.

"Tell me that Sydney isn't far from here." Ryan asked.

"Well, she is, her and the others are back in the kitchen why?"

"I told you this whole thing is a set up. The only reason Keith kidnapped me was to get you out here so he could go get Sydney while you're away. Come on you had to had known that, why would Keith leave me here so you could get me so easily?"

Schwartz turned around and looked back at the direction where he'd just come from.

"Sydney" He said out of a breath.

There was a very loud scream and then silence fell over the palace.

"What was that." Ryan said walking up to Schwartz.

"SYDNEY!" He turned to Ryan "We have to get back there now!" He had started to run back, but Ryan stopped him in his tracks.

"Are you stupid!? You'll never get back there in time. How do you think we'll possibly get back there in time?"

Schwartz thought about it quickly. And he snapped his fingers and said..

"The Gundams!"

"Smart thinking then let's go ahead and call them out and get going!" Ryan yelled.

"Alright! SHADOW GUNDAM!" He snapped his fingers and his Gundam rose up from among the trees.

He was in his Gundam now, and Ryan was in his. Schwartz froze for a second.

"Well, Schwartz what's wrong why aren't you going?" Ryan asked him, walking up to him.

"Oh, I'm just thinking of Sydney, and how I'm gonna kill my that ass hole if he did anything to her! Let's go!!"

The two of them were off. The rage in his chest was building up into his heart; he was going to kill his "brother" and that was that.

Suddenly Ryan froze solid.

"Uh S-Schwartz!?"

"What?"

Ryan pointed in front of them, there were 7 Gundams standing in from of them. They were all black and had red eyes.

"What the fuck are those!!??" Schwartz said a little confused at what they were. He cocked is head like a dog would if it saw something that smelled strange or was some strange noise. Then they started to move. Ryan being the little sissy that he can be at scary things jumped behind Schwartz.

"Man, what are those things?"

"I have no idea, but the look intent on catching us." He finished.

"Well, we just going to stand here, or fight them?" Ryan asked.

"What are you talking about you're hiding behind me!"

"Uh, sorry." He came out from behind Schwartz.

"I don't have time for this, Sydney's in danger."

"Schwartz go."

"What?"

"Leave, I'll handle these guys you need to get Syd."

"Stop playing Ryan."

"I mean it!"

Schwartz looked at his friend he was serious.

"You could be killed, you know that right?"

He nodded.

"Yeah, I know but you need to find Sydney. And fast!"

Schwartz didn't know what to do. Leave his friend where he could die or go find the love of his life. He couldn't decide. Then he was pushed, as there was a gunshot. Schwartz turned around and saw Ryan fighting the 7 Gundams.

"Ryan"

"GO! NOW!" Ryan yelled.

Schwartz turned his head.

"I'll be fine, but Sydney won't!"

He was right he needed to find Sydney. He took one last look at his best friend. Then turned around and left. Schwartz felt regret the whole way back to the far side of the palace. He got back to the kitchen where Syd and the others were supposed to be. He jumped out of his Gundam and looked around. The kitchen looked like there had been a war. There was blood all over the floor. Then Schwartz heard yelling.

"Where are you!"

"Here." Came a weak voice.

He walked around the corner and saw Chester standing up over the rest of his friends and family.

"What happened!?" He friends were all hurt and on the floor, in pain.

"Keith came, he has Sydney."

"No." Schwartz pounded his fists on the counter.

"Well, what happened to all of you?"

"We tried to fight him off, but he was to strong. It was strange."

"Keith too strong? How is that possible?"

"Don't ask me." Chester answered and coughing.

Schwartz went up to him and helped him over to a chair.

"Where's Ryan" he asked.

"We got stopped by some strange looking Gundams and Ryan stayed back to fight them."

"Ryan"

All Schwartz's friends put their heads down. Something caught his eye. He turned his head and saw something very familiar on the floor. He walked over and picked it up. It was a bracelet covered in blood. His eye grew wide. He turned to Chester.

"What happened to Sydney in here?"

"Huh what?"

"Why is her bracelet here and why is it covered in blood!? What aren't you telling me!"

Chester looked away.

"He hurt her, badly" Mat spoke up.

"WHAT! HOW DID HE HURT HER!!??"

"I don't know but she did try to stab him with that knife."

"When she left she was covered in blood Schwartz." Steven said.

Schwartz never felt so mad. He never really knew what rage was but now he did. He was going to kill his brother, and he was going to make him suffer like hell. Then something hit the door, and they all jumped up. Schwartz walked up to the door slowly, cautiously. He opened the door and someone fell into his arms. It was Ryan!

"Ryan!"

Ryan looked up and smiled at him.

"Man, you're hurt. You need anything now?"

"No, I'm fine just let me sit please."

Schwartz took him to a chair.

"Well, were all here. Least I know that much."

His friends looked at him. Then they looked at each other. Then Mat spoke up.

"Schwartz, were going to help you find Sydney."

"Oh yeah like I'm going to let you do that. I don't think so."

They all stood up.

"Schwartz you can try to stop us, but we are going." Steven told him.

"You're all nuts, you can't even move."

"Yes we can." Chester said.

"Schwartz unless you can stop us, were going with you weather you like it or not. Were your best friends and you need us." Ryan added.

"Guys." He laughed, and they all laughed with him.

Schwartz's mother smiled, as did Sydney's. There fathers were also in the room the room the too were smiling. Schwartz's father knew that Schwartz would be a good king someday.

"Fine, come with me."

They all stood up.

"Schwartz!"

He turned around and looked at his father.

"Yes?"

"Be careful."

Schwartz smiled.

"I will, and I'll come back with Sydney too."

"Alright guys, were going to need the Gundams on this one."

They all nodded. They were all in their Gundams when another Gundam flew in front of them.

"Well Schwartz I thought you might have been faster then that. HA HA HA HA HA!"

"KEITH!!! Where is Sydney!"

"What's wrong brother, getting worried about her?"

"I'll kill you!"

"You always did have a temper Schwartz."

Schwartz charged at his brother.

"No, no, no Schwartz." Keith's Gundam held its hand open and there unconscious was Sydney covered in blood. Schwartz stopped dead in his tracks.

"Come any closer and I'll kill her!" Keith yelled.

"You do want to save her don't you Schwartz?" Keith said.

Schwartz was silent.

"Oh, that's not nice giving me the silent treatment."

"Shut up Keith!"

"Ha, you can have her back if you can beat me."

Schwartz's friend edged forward a bit. Keith turned his head.

"But you will have not help from your friends! And to make sure they don't bother you…"

He snapped his fingers, and 7 Gundams came flying out of nowhere.

"What the hell, who did he do that!"

Schwartz yelled

"What the hell Keith, you turned to the dark side to beat me!"

"What!"

"You know you can't beat me, so you went to the dark side to beat me huh?"

"That's non of your concern! You, Sydney, your friends, and any one who is around here is going to die! So prepare you selves!"

"Schwartz what are you going to do, we can't reach you now!" Ryan yelled.

"Just leave it to me, don't fight those things."

"Well, what are you going to do about Sydney, and your brother?"

He was silent.

"Schwartz? Schwartz!?"

He sighed a bit and said

"I really don't know yet."
