Chapter 9.  Prepare for Trouble….

And make it Double….???

(Just DON'T SUE ME!!!)

11:15 PM. Warehouses.  Lemur City

            Back to where Quatre started from (well… almost), he and Heero returned to the warehouse where the Maguanats were hiding.

            Quatre approached the door, with a rather abashed Heero.

            "Hn."  Club Hoppin' Fun Heero Yuy sounded.  "I'll wait outside…"

Heero was not very thrilled to be wearing tight, boot-cut leather pants.  Nor was he happy to wear a reflective, loose-fitting, sparkly blue, long-sleeved club shirt, with giant cuffs, that basically hid his hands from the rest of the world…. (IF NOT for the fabric being see thru).  Heero also didn't favor wearing the steel-toed, and reinforced, leather boots. (The truth is, he looks pretty kewl, BUT Heero's used to a certain style… and looking like he fits with the rest of semi-normal world is probably not it…). 

"WHAT??!"  Quatre grumbled.  He's been going at this 'issue' with Heero all night.  "There's NOTHING wrong with the outfit!!!"

"These pants… I can't fit any ammo or weapons in them." The Angel of Destruction complained in his dull tone.  He also added, "My underwear…  I don't feel comfortable, at all, in this…. 'satin and lace'… gear… what if someone sees them-----"

(Author's note: T.M.I.   I REPEAT: T.M.I.)

"AT LEAST they have a CROTCH!!!"  Quatre remarked loudly. He soon started yelling, reminding Heero of the freakish horrors of the undergarment section,   "And they were the ONLY pair that DIDN'T have the extra 'attachments' to them EITHER!!!" He concluded by shouting, "You should be thankful to find that NORMAL string bikini amongst the pile of EDIBLE Thongs---- NOW SHUT-UP!!!"

Heero shuddered at the image.  He mumbled, "But my shirt—"

Quatre sorta flipped out again and shouted, "HEERO! It's not the BONDAGE STRAPPINGS and CHAIN MAIL, WITH ATTACHMENTS, we found earlier!!!! You look like you came from a club!!!!  Now SHUT-UP!!!"

"Hn…" Heero was STILL hesitant. His head turned slightly trying not to expose his, nervous, IGNORANT side to others.

Too late.

Quatre took a deep breath and assured Heero, "The Maguanats are NOT going to pick on you!!!  They go clubbin' too!  They'll envy you!!! LET'S GO!"

"You mean to tell me your bodyguards wear this sort of thing on purpose----?"

SLAM!!!  Quatre entered the warehouse, totally ignoring Heero's paranoid ass.

Fucking idiot. Quatre let his mind settle on his precious, but often-worrisome Maguanats. 

He looked around the area.  It was TOO damn quiet for having 39 grown ass, chicken shits dwelling inside.  He spotted the Mitsubishi and saw the carnage.  "OH MY GAAAWD!!!"  The Doe Eyed Freak panicked.

The Mitsubishi was in shambles. All around the small vehicle was blood and body parts.  Quatre raced down the steps and approached the car and the blood bath.  He came across several disfigured, maimed, and eaten bodies lying all over, but one was missing.

Suddenly, he heard a familiar sound.

A chewing, eating flesh off of bone sound.

Quatre hurried over towards the Mitsubishi.  He peered inside and spotted…

Bob the 40th Maguanat…. Eating Rashid, the 1st Maguanat. 

"BOB!!!"  Quatre shouted.  He aimed his Magnum at him and whimpered, "H-H-How could YOU!!!!"  No seriously!  How on earth did you manage to EAT ALL 39 men at once?!?  "I am going to destroy your miserable soul!!!"

Bob looked over at Quatre and took out a pistol.  "UUUUUUUUUUugh!!!"  He fired the gun.

"Unh!!" Quatre was grazed.  He went flying across the bloody floor and into the pile of Maguanat corpses.  "AAAYh!!!"  He screamed, scampering away from the bodies.

Bob crawled out of the car…. Hitting the radio button.  The radio was BACK on.  Guess what was playing AGAIN??!?1

(Daaaays go by and STILL I think of yoooou...)

(Who left the damn keys in the car?!??!)

Quatre winced, "Bob!!!  After ALL the Maguanats have done for you!!!"

Bob fired his pistol again shooting Quatre's Magnum out of his hand.  "Gwaaaaaar!"  He aimed the pistol again and got ready to shoot Quatre in the head.

"NO!!"  Quatre ducked, barely missing the shot.  He grabbed one of the corpses' decapitated heads and threw it at Bob. 

As Bob staggered back, Quatre got up and dove for the Magnum.  He grabbed it and turned to fire it at Bob---

"What?!?!"  Quatre gasped.

Bob was gone.

Quatre got up from the floor and ran towards the steps to get a better view of his surroundings.  That Undead Traitor was NO WHERE to be seen.  Suddenly the door opened behind him.  "Oh!!"

It was Heero.  He seemed to have finally gotten over himself and continue on with the survival horror.  This was good, but Bob was STILL no where in sight.

"This is fucking crazy!!!"  Quatre cursed.  He was frustrated.

Heero looked at boy and asked, "What happened to you?" 

"Bob!!!"  Quatre called out.  "I know your STILL here!!! Show yourself!!!"

Heero took out his shotgun.  "Hn."

Suddenly Bob appeared from above.  He was clinging to the ceiling until he decided to make his reappearance.  He even had a new weapon---correction two new weapons— Twin Sub Machine Guns.

Before the Super Ghoul could pull the triggers, Heero ducked and blasted the shotgun in the monster's crotch!!!!

"IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!!!!" Bob went flying into the Mitsubishi, smashing the front window and hood.  Quatre fired his gun at the car's hood, hitting the engine---causing the vehicle to explode.

KA-BOOM!!!

Quatre and Heero took cover outside--- when they flew through the warehouse doors and into a wall.

SPLAT!!!

"oooooooOOOOOOOOOOooow—ooph!!!!"  They both sounded when they went sliding down the wall and fell to the floor.

THUD!!

Heero was the first to shake the stars from his head when he noticed, the two sub machine guns had also flew out of the warehouse, Bob's hands were still attached to them.  Heero didn't give a damn. He snatched the burned lumps of flesh off and claimed them as his.

Quatre shook his sunny blonde hair and regained balance. He looked around the debris from both the car and the front of the warehouse.  He spotted another Magnum…… next to his.  Suh-WEET!  Quatre smirked.  He quickly snatched up the weapon.  I wish I had some more ammo.  Suddenly he saw ammo magazines for his Twin Magnums. 

"It's like Christmas for PSYSCHOS!!!"  Heero exclaimed.  He almost sounded…. Cheerful.  He spotted another weapon lying upon the sidewalk, An Enhanced Western Custom Shotgun.  Ammo and MORE enhancements were lying all over the place!!!  "This is SO fucking cool." He uttered as he caught his sights upon a Sniper Rifle…

Quatre nodded his head, as he picked up more ammo for his Magnums.  "Ow!!!"  He yelped as he reached for the ammo.  The wound on his arm really hurt.

Heero hurried over to Quatre and examined the wound.  "You want me to stitch it up, Quatre?"

"Huh?" The Blonde Medic peered up at him and asked, "Do you have the proper equipment to do it?"

Heero looked down at him--strangely, "I have a needle and string in my side pack."

"…. And?!"

"And what?!"

Quatre gawked at him…. Strangely and said, "You need antiseptic, anesthesia, SURGICAL stitching equipment and utensils--A FUCKING doctorate and LICSENCE!!!---- NOT JUST a needle and thread---- WHAT do I look like: A RAG DOLL?!?!"

The Perfect Psycho was puzzled, "I don't understand what you're saying. Now, why would I need all that to stitch you up?"  Heero spoke. "You act like it's gonna hurt or something."

"Uh…" Oh my gawd he's NOT human!  Quatre sighed.  He got up and started to walk away.  "Forget it… It's-It's not that serious, we have to get out of here."

Heero followed behind, needle and thread in hand, "Are you sure, Quatre? I can-----"

"NO!!!!  Get away from me with that crap!!!  Did you even sanitize it?!?" He quickened pace.

"Sanitize?" Heero sped up behind him. Needle in hand, thread dragging along the ground.

Quatre was running at full speed now. "GET the FUCK away from me, Heero!!!"

11:20PM. Construction Area. Downtown Lemur City.

Wufei and Duo are STILL in the middle of acquiring needless things to start up the trolley.  So far they've picked up a jumper cable from an abandoned car, a car battery hidden behind the mayor's statue, and a wad of gum under Duo's boot. Wufei insisted on keeping.

They were, now, in a construction area when they came across the stairs that lead to the power supply area.  Wufei and Duo walked up the stairs in hopes of becoming closer to towards their goal.

"I still don't see why I have to keep the gum?"  Duo pouted.

Wufei held his arm in front of Duo, "Be quiet!!!"  He whispered.  He heard HEAVY footsteps coming down towards them from the top of the stairs, but he saw NOTHING.  "You see anything, Duo?"

Duo looked past, Wufei's arm and shook his head, "I don't see anything, Wu-Ha…."

IT'S WUFEI!!!!  DILL WEED!!!  "Let's get out of here."  He marched up the stairs gun ready.  He took a quick glance around.  No one else was there, with the exception of Duo.  "I know something's watching us…"  He handed Duo the battery to place in the elevator ramp.  "Be ready for anything."

"Uh….. Huh….." Duo sounded in a frightened voice.  As the elevator moved up, it also brought the ARCHFIEND.  "Uuuhhh----AAAAAAAAAAAAYH!!!!!!"  He screamed and ran into Wufei, who was still staring around, in front of the staircase.

"Du—OOOOOOOOOh  SHIIIIIIt!!!!!!"  Wufei exclaimed.

"GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAR!!!"  The ARCHFIEND boomed.  He took massive steps towards the two boys, reaching for them with his massive hands.

Wufei and Duo hauled ass down the stairs only to run into Trowa.  He was stalking up the stairs. (SQUEEEAK! SQUEEEAK! SQUEEEAK! SQUEEEAK! SQUEEEAK!)

"…" he growled.  He took out a whip (A WHAT?!?!) and lashed it at Duo.  It wrapped around his ankle and yanked him down the stairs.

"OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW!!!!"  Duo yelled in pain ALL the way down the steps until he hit the floor.  "OW!!!"

Trowa's attention went towards Wufei.

Wufei slowly back away from Trowa.  ARCHFIEND went trampling down the stairs.  Wufei was now running down towards Trowa.

He aimed his Gatling Gun at Trowa, assuming he'd be the weaker of the two.  "I'll fucking kill, Trowa---DON'T think I won't!!!"

"HSSSS!!!" Trowa sounded, giving Wufei an evil glare.  He lashed his whip around the Gatling Gun and snatched it out of Wufei's hand.

Wufei staggered back up the stairs.  "Oh shiiiit!!!"

He bumped into the ARCHFIEND.  "ROOOOOOOAR!!!"

"Oh yeah…." Wufei remembered. He screamed like an onna. "Oh DAMN!!!" he yelled as he tried to scramble back down the stairs.

Wufie ran into The Unibanged Cretin.  "HOW did I forget about you??!!"  He sighed briefly before screaming LIKE AN ONNA…. Again.

ARCHFIEND grabbed Wu-Baby.com by the shoulders (he was SO big and all) and lifted him. He brought up his other hand---which had a pointy tentacle.  DON'T get the WRONG idea; ARCHFIEND was going to shove this through his HEAD….. err face!!!

Duo finally managed to get up from the floor and saw the situation was about to get ugly.  The ARCHFIEND was about to take out Wufei's face.  He quickly picked up the fallen Gatling Gun and got ready to aim—

I can't.  I'll hit Wu-Wu (heh heh-NO!! I can't) OR that brainwashed creep!!!  Shit!!! 

Just when the ARCHFIEND was about the kill Wu-Bear, Trowa caught his tentacle hand.

(!!!? What FOR??!)

"Wha??!"  Duo voiced, suddenly dropping the Gatling Gun.  "Is he…. Normal..?"

"Tr-Trowa?!"  Wufei grunted, still in the ARCHFIEND'S grip.  "Is it REALLY you?"

Trowa looked over at Wufei---expression still blank.  "…"

 Just then the ARCHFIEND threw Wufei up the stairs and attempted to grab Trowa. The Green-Eyed Mute merely slung the GIANT freak down the stairs. 

"GRR-OW! GRR-OW! GRR-OW! GRR-OW! GRR-OW! GRR-OW! GRR-OW! GRR-OW! GRR-OW!!!"  The Cycloptic Freak shouted rolling down the steps. 

"Whoa!!!"  Duo shouted running back down the steps to avoid the Tumbling Tyrant. 

"OW!!!!!"  The ARCHFIEND hollered as he smashed into the wall. He was still. "_______"

Duo stood there and stared at the creature.  Curious Maxwell was getting curious…… Suddenly, he raced back up the stairs, he wasn't stupid. 

            He slammed into Trowa just as he was walking towards Wufei, who was still a bit dazed from being tossed. 

            "…?!?"  Trowa grunted.  He flipped the boy over his shoulders and stepped on Duo's chest.

            "Uh!!" Duo coughed.  He grabbed Trowa's heavily reinforced, thigh high boot—but the pressure kept increasing.  "AAAyh *cough* AAAy *wheeze*!!!"

            "Trowa!!!  What are you---" Wufei raced down the stairs to help Duo. 

Suddenly, Trowa slashed the whip, (which he STILL had in hand) and struck Wu across the neck—

            "G-HORK!!!"  Wufei choked.  The impact nearly knocked his larynx out!  He collapsed upon the steps, desperately fighting for air.

            (Author's note: Humans DO have a larynx….right??!?  It's in the neck? Yes?!  Uhm….. Sure I knew that!!!  I didn't think it was a part of the anatomy of a bug---NO WAY!!!)

"Listen to me…" spoke a familiar voice.  "You have to get out of the city.  He's waiting for you at the Spooky factory…"

"The hell you say?" Duo opened his eyes, as the pressure on his chest lessened.  He looked up and saw Trowa. "You—you—you spoke??!"

Wufei was gasping, finally catching his breath.  "If….. you're so …..*cough*-----FRIENDLY-----*cough*….. WHY did you attack us….?!?!"

He noticed that Trowa's visible eye was now green.  Even his face was its usual stoic expression.  It was the team's favorite Demolitionist Mute!!! 

Trowa's eyes were suddenly changing from gold to green.  This change seemed to be affecting his speech as well. "I…. Can't…. control…. My…………………. body…………….. He………… controls me now………. you have………….. to stop…………… Ca—ca……"

Trowa was going in and out of 'something'.  Duo didn't want to see who would win.  He quickly squeezed himself from under Trowa's wobbly foot and climbed up the stairs. He dragged Wufei up the stairs and onto the platform.

"Captain?"  Wufei wheezed.  "The Captain is ALIVE??!"

"…"  Trowa just stood there. 

"Trowa?!?!"

Duo pointed past Trowa to the ARCHFIEND.  "Oh shit!!! He's back for more!!" The Giant Freak had already got up from the floor and started up the stairs after… SOMEONE.  It wasn't gonna be Duo.  He raced over to the elevator and shouted for Wufei to follow.

Wufei raced back down the stairs to pull Trowa along.  "Let's get out of here!!!  Quatre can probably help---"

Trowa yanked Wufei by the collar and uttered, "Leave me here.  Make your escape from Lemur City.  OTHERWISE----aaaaaAAAyH!!!"

The ARCHFIEND grabbed Trowa by the waist and snatched him back.  Trowa released Wufei—losing consciousness.  Officer Chang raced up the stairs and looked back only to see the ARCHFIEND had hauled Trowa's body over his shoulder and leaped VERY high into the air.

"He's gone…" Wufei spoke despondently.  The Captain….  Could he mean…. NO WAY!  We all saw him die!!!  Me, Trowa, Quatre, H-----

Duo grabbed Wufei by the arm and yanked him along.  "Let's go before he decides to carry us off!!!"

Reluctantly, BOTH survivors continued on their mission.
