And here goes part 2! Woohoo!
"Don't speak her name!" Heero shuddered at the mention.
"Come with us Heero! The Wizard of Oz can get rid of your fear of Releena!" Duo exclaimed. Heero thought about it and said "All right"
"Yay!" yelled Duo. Now all five of them continued their trip down the yellow brick road. When they got out of the forest they ran into Lady Une.
"I am Lady Une, nice to meet you all" Heero just grunted, Wufei didn't' say anything to her, but muttered something about weak woman, Duo smiled in acknowledgment, but Quatre and Trowa kept their guard up knowing that Lady Une was up to no good.
"Miss Releena (Heero shuttered) has ordered me to take care of you" Une smiled. The five guys were confused, but soon found out what she meant "Ha!". Lady Une threw about three sleeping gas bombs called "poppies" and left. The guys were asleep almost instantly.
"Releena (Heero shutters in his sleep) will be proud. As long as they stay in this gas long enough, they'll be "sleeping" forever! Muahaha!" Lady Une then disappeared. Releena flew by to see if her plan went accordingly, and to her delight , she saw that it did. She saw Quatre sound asleep, but before she could grab the magic goggles, she got distracted by Heero.
"Heero!" Releena yelled, and yet again Heero shuttered in his sleep. 'He must be cold' Releena thought 'He won't have to be, I'll keep him warm, and he'll be mine forever'. While Releena was in her sick fantasy, she didn't realize that the boys were being dragged away one by one.
"Hey where did they go?! NOOOO!" Releena yelled than flew off.
"Good thing she's stupid and didn't notice me dragging them right under her nose" said their savior. The five boys wake up a few minutes later.
"What happened?" asked Duo
"I dragged you away from Releena" she answered proudly (Heero shuttered)
"Hilde?" Quatre asked.
"How'd you know my name? Oh well, I dragged you when Releena (Heero shutters) was to absorbed with her sick fantasies
"
"Thank you weak woman for helping us" Said Wufei.
"Why you little-" Hilde yelled
"Sorry for his rudeness, but we are all very grateful" Quatre said before Hilde had the chance to kill Wufei for his comment.
"Yes, thank you, but we must get going" said Trowa, and Quatre nodded in agreement.
"Wait! I don't know your names!"
"Sorry. I'm Quatre Raberba Winner"
"I'm Trowa Barton"
"Heero Yuy"
"Chang Wufei"
"I'm Duo Maxwell, I may run and hide, but I never tell a lie"
"Duo huh? Well, you're one of the best looking guys i've seen around in a long time". Hilde gave Duo a seductive look
"Well I can't argue with you there" Duo said totally oblivious.
"How about I show you around these parts, you seem to be out of this area. We could head back to my place..." Heero gave Hilde a dirty look that no one but Quatre noticed. 'Hmm, I wonder if Heero likes Duo a little more than he's letting on..'
"We have to go now Duo, if you go with her, we'll just leave you behind" Heero sounded annoyed and angry.
"Sorry I have to go" Duo said
"Can I come?" she asked with a dreamy look in her eyes
"No! "snarled Heero. "We can't wait for you and have to drag another person around"
"I agree with Heero, no weak woman is going to follow us around" Wufei said
"Fine" Hilde yelled, and as the boys were leaving, she whispered " I'll get Duo some other way, hehehe" Heero heard her and while no one was looking, he shot her with his tranquilizer gun. 'Nothing like extra strength tranquilizers to make you feel great, that should keep her out for atleast a couple of days' Heero smiled to himself. He quickly caught up with the rest.
"Wow Heero, you must really dislike that girl, you're not that mean to anyone, except for Releena. What did she do to you? She was just being nice" Duo said, still oblivious that Hilde was hitting on him and that Heero was jealous
.
"Baka" Heero said, yet again hurting Duo's feelings. The five boys continued their trip down the yellow brick road.
"Hey look! It's Emerald City!" Quatre stated. The other boys looked at each other contentedly and began to run towards Emerald city. The five boys stopped in front of the huge door on an enormous castle "It's beautiful" Quatre stated.
"Cool, it's all sparkly" Duo said
"Well what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Wufei said. Wufei tried to push the door open, but it was locked.
"No worries! I'll open the door with my scythe!". Duo pulled his arms back ready to swipe, but before he could a tall handsome looking man with blue eyes and long blondish white hair opened the door.
"What do you want?" asked the guard
"Zechs? We want to see the Wizard of Oz" Trowa answered
"The Wizard of Oz sees no one" he said in a cold tone.
"You better let us in or i'll be forced to kill you" Heero said
"Zechs, let them in, I've heard of the one they call Quatre" Oz said All five of them walked inside, nervous that they were finally going to meet the great Oz. "Come, don't be shy" said Oz
"Duo you go first" said Wufei, he was hoping that if he was deadly, he'd kill Duo off first.
"What happened to Mr. Strong and fearless?" Duo asked annoyed. Wufei and Duo started arguing, and no one (besides Trowa) seemed to notice that Quatre had already walked up to the wizard.
"Careful Quatre" Trowa said.
"Silence!" Oz yelled at Duo and Wufei.
"Sorry" they said. Oz didn't look that tall, but he was older than them. He had short brown hair combed back, and a few stray hairs lay on his face.
"Treize, I mean, Mr. Oz" Quatre began "I heard that you were a very powerful wizard"
"Of course I am, I am the Wizard of Oz!!" he yelled at the top of his lungs, at that point Zechs pushed a button so that light would flash and there would be smoke effects. Only Trowa and Quatre noticed, so the others were scared of Oz.
"Ok..So maybe you can help us" Quatre said "I would like to return home with Trowa"
"I want a heart"
"I want to be fearless of Releena"
"I want a brain, wait that came out wrong, I have a brain. I want to be smarter!". The Wizard chuckled
"Well now, those are a lot of requests, but I can help you, but first, you must help me" The four pilots looked at each other, waiting for his request. "I heard that Quatre defeated witch Dorothy" Quatre nodded in agreement "Well, I want you to get rid of Releena (Heero shuttered) for me, she's becoming a nuisance. It should be a simple task for a character like you"
"Or my car" Quatre mumbled.
"What was that?" Oz asked
"Oh, nothing, I said all right"
"Good then. Be off. Zechs and I have "business" to take care of". Zechs hit the smoke machine button again, and they disappeared (well, they left through the back entrance). Wufei, Duo and Heero were in awe
"He is really powerful" Duo said
"Whatever, as long as he can get us home, I don't care" Trowa said. The five boys walked outside and then decided they should plan what to do.
"How in the world am I supposed to kill Releena?"(Heero shutters) Quatre asked
"You can do it Quat, you've done it once" Duo told him as reassurance, Quatre didn't dare tell them it was his car that killed her, they were counting on him. As the boys planned on how to get to the witch, a huge group of men walked up to them. The men were as tall as gorillas (close enough to the flying monkey in the wizard of Oz --;) and they all wore the same clothing. The boys didn't' notice until the biggest of them grabbed Quatre and had him in a tight hold that was close to crushing him.
"Quatre!" Trowa yelled, "It's the Maguanacs, why are they attacking us?!". The others were fighting back, trying not to get caught. Wufei landed a kick on one, and was about to finish him off before Quatre yelled
"No! Please don't! It's not their fault! Look at their eyes! This is probably Releena's (Heero shutters causing him to be caught) doing!". The other three stop fighting and also get captured. The Maguanacs spread their wings and flew to the castle (yes they have wings, it's my story!). They arrived to the top, and the Maguanacs dropped them off and left. "Poor Rasheed" Quatre said, eyes full of tears.
"Don't worry Quatre once we get rid of Releena (Heero shutters)-I mean the witch (Heero looks relieved). I'm sure they'll snap out of it". Just as Trowa finished, Releena walked in.
"Heero!" she yelled
"AHHHHHHHH!" Heero yelled.
"Don't worry Heero, I won't let her get to you!". Duo stood in front of Heero, holding up his scythe ready to attack.
"Get away from Heero . He's mine and he's gonna marry me. He loves me, right Heero?". Heero was in the fettle position rocking back and forth, covering his ears. Releena was oblivious and continued. "You're in my way!". She lifted her hand, and had an energy ball at hand. "Die!" she aimed for Duo and and shot.
"Duo!" Heero yelled, knowing he was unable to react quick enough, he closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he saw a very shocked Duo and Wufei on the floor. Wufei had jumped in the way, pushing Duo in the process.
"Wufei!" Duo yelled, and rushed to his side, luckily, Wufei had only gotten hit on the side and the force of the blast knocked him out. Releena took the opportunity that Duo took his guard down and aimed for Duo once more, but Quatre jumped in front of her shot
'I can't allow any of my friends die, I regret not being able to tell Trowa how i feel...'.
"Quatre!" Trowa yelled. Releena used her full force, and all that could be seen was a flash of light. Trowa was blinded momentarily, unsure of what just happened. "Quatre no..." he whispered.
"Did I get him?" Releena asked. Duo and Quatre lay on the ground, not responding. "Yes! Now he's all mine. Oh no, he's unconscounce, i guess the force of the blast knocked him out. He'll wake up soon"
"NO! Quatre, i never got a chance to tell you" Trowa managed to say with tear filled eyes.
"No!!!" Trowa looked up to see what caused Releena to yell. Quatre moved a little
"He's alive" Trowa whispered, too happy to be say anything else. Waking up, Quatre crawled over to Duo
"Please be alive"He smiled in relief "Yes, he only hit his head, he's ok". Quatre winced in pain, his arm had made contact with the ground first after Releena's attack, and his left arm was now broken.
"Quatre!" Trowa rushed over to him, he was happy to see him alive.
"No! How did you survive?!" Releena screeched." It's those goggles!" Releena rushed to grab for Quatre, but Trowa punched her. "Ahh! My beautiful face! You'll pay!". Releena began to gather energy for her next blast, a fire ball. Quatre thought quickly and grabbed what looked like a bucket of water and threw it at her. Releena began to melt."Ahhhhhhh!!". All that was left of her was a pink puddle (eww..).
"How in the world did water kill her?" Quatre questioned. "Oops, I accidentally grabbed the bucket of acid, the bucket of water was right next to it. Oh well". Quatre put the bucket down. Trowa rushed over and hugged him.
"I thought I'd lost you when she attacked you and Duo". Quatre smiled 'Good thing he avoided the arm...'
"I got lucky I guess, good thing Noin gave me these goggles". Trowa smiled and grabbed one of Quatre's hands in his own (the one on the good arm obviously...)
"Quatre there's something I've been wanting to tell you. Quatre I-"
"Master Quatre! Rashid interrupted. "You saved us from the witch, I see your friend is awake" Quatre looked to see who he was referring to, Heero was beginning to wake up.
"How did you guys get here?!" Trowa asked annoyed he had been interrupted once more.
"Rashid! I'm glad you guys are ok!" Quatre said.
"Thanks to you we're out of her spell. We'll give you all a ride back to Emerald city, but first we'll tend to all injuries, and we insist you guys stay here overnight and rest after that little event"
"Thank you Rashid". Rashid went to grab Wufei and Duo to tend to their injuries, but Heero was already tending to Duo, and didn't want anyone else to touch him.
"I'll take care of him, take care of Wufei" he said in a threatening tone.
"Hey Trowa, I think we should leave the two alone if you know what I mean.."
"You're right, I know what it's like to try to get time alone and never get it because a damn scarecrow and a gorilla sized Maguanac INTERRUPT YOU!" Trowa yelled at the top of his lungs. Everyone in the room stared at him for about a minute. "I wasn't talking from personal experience or anything". Everyone looked away. 'Wow, they're stupid, I didn't think they'd buy that. I wonder if Quatre is really that blind or if he chooses to ignore the fact that I'm trying to tell him that I love him' Heero tended to all of Duo's wounds.
"I'm sorry I've been so mean to you Duo. It's taken me so long to realize I truly care for you. No. I was denying it, I was afraid if I told you how I felt you wouldn't feel the same, or that Releena would hurt you. I couldn't' take either of the two..Please wake up soon.."
The next days the guys and the Maguanacs were well rested, and all wounds were taken care of.
"Time for breakfast everyone!" Rashid yelled.
"Oh boy!". Duo rushed to the table and started to eat.
"Wow, he's like a vacuum cleaner" Quatre teased
"What do you expect? I'm starved". The other pilots sat down to eat. By the end of breakfast, Duo had eaten the amount of food a normal human being could eat in a month. "Wow, i'm stuffed. When are we leaving?" Duo asked.
"Right now if you'd like " answered Rasheed. The guys all nodded in agreement. "Well, unfortunately since Releena's (Heero shutters) spell wore off, we no longer have wings"
"Aww!" they all said.
"But we do have mobile suits, that will get you there quicker, we only have two so you guys will have to figure out a way to do it". Quatre and Trowa's faces lit up, but the other three were confused.
"What's a mobile suit?" Duo asked
"You'll so find out" said Rasheed with a mysterious grin. Quatre and Trowa were instructed to go as fast as they could. The Maguanacs insisted that they should rush so that Oz would see their determination and grant them their wishes (but in reality they just liked the image of Heero, Wufei and Duo scared out of their minds). Since Quatre and Trowa were the only ones that knew how to pilot, they were the ones piloting. Duo , Heero, and Quatre were in one, and Trowa and Wufei in the other. When they arrived to the castle Wufei, Duo and Heero practically jumped out of the suits, faces as white as paper.
"My God! Land!" Duo shouted and kissed the floor.
"Were you trying to kill us?" Wufei yelled in rage
"Anyways, stop whining and let's go inside already" Trowa said. All five of them walked inside, and saw Treize being fed grapes by Zechs, Treize instantly noticed them and began to choke on the grape.
"Treize!" Zechs yelled. He began to perform the heimlick maneuver. The grape flew out and hit Wufei in the eye.
"Ahhhh! Injustice"
"And may I add gross" Quatre said. Treize cleared his throat and caught his breath.
"It's not what it looks like. Anyways how did you guys kill the witch so quickly?"
"That's not important, but you have to keep your end of the bargain!" Wufei said.
"Um, well. About that..." Treize said
"What?!!!"
"I cant' exactly do any of that. I can give you cool smoke effects and light effects" he said.
"Whaaaat?!" Wufei yelled and took out his katana and lunged at Treize. Zechs stood in front of Treize
"Don't' you dare" Zechs growled
"Get out of my way or die!" Wufei yelled. Zechs laughed at his comment, and Wufei would have killed him if it were not for Heero, Duo and Trowa holding him back.
"What is the meaning of this? We killed the witch. We kept our end of the bargain" Quatre said.
"Well, I became the Wizard of Oz because I persuaded everyone that I was powerful. We just wanted to be left alone, and when I heard that you had killed Dorothy I thought I'd get you to get rid of Releena for me. She kept bothering Zechs saying 'It's not right for two men to be in a relationship'. I hated her. Oh well, now she's dead and Zechs and I can be alone forever. Thanks." Treize smiled.
"Are you saying that I ended up risking my life to save that idiots life all because you said you could give me a heart and now you say you can't give me one?!"
"I won't get a brian?! . Wait, that came out wrong. You wont' make me smarter?!"
"You wont' get rid of my only fear?! Wait a minute- she's dead" Heero stared blankly for a while and let what he just said sink in. "She's dead!!!" Heero yelled happily. Heero jumped up and down chanting "She's dead!" hugging everyone as he did so. Everyone looked at Heero with shock, no one had ever seen that much emotion from Heero-Ever. Heero saw the way everyone was staring at him, and stopped abruptly. Heero turned bright red and he said "Sorry. This just means so much to me. Now I can say what i have to say without worrying about Releena killing Duo!". Everyone gave Heero a puzzled look (especially Duo) and waited for him to continue. "Duo, I love you". Duo's jaw dropped at Heero's confession, and his eyes were wide with shock.
"You what?!" Duo asked in shock, Heero looked hurt by the response.
"I love you, it's ok if you don't' feel the same way. I just needed to tell you. I'm sorr-" he was cut off by Duo's not so chaste kiss. They kissed for an inappropriately long time, so everyone got bored of waiting for them to break the kiss and moved on with their lives.
"Well seems I have solved their problem" Treize said
"Hey! What about me?!" Wufei yelled
"You wanted to be kinder right? Well I'd say you already are, as you said yourself you did risk, your life to save your friend".
Wufei contemplated for what seemed to be an eternity. Treize got impatient and said
"What are you, slow?! You're problems are solved. Get out!!". Treize hit a button and Wufei fell through a trap door. "Well problem solved, now where were we?". Treize looked at Zechs seductively.
"Wait!!" Quatre yelled. "We're still stuck here!"
"Sucks for you. Buh-bye!" Treize hit another button causing Trowa and Quatre to fall through a trap door. Trowa landed on his feet, and he caught Quatre.
"Thanks. I'm upset we went through all this and we can't get home" he said sadly. "So much for happy endings"
"It can still br a happy ending for us" Trowa said smiling as he took a hold of Quatre's hand in his own, determined to finally admit his feelings for the blonde. "Quatre I-"
"There you are! I've been looking all over the place for you guys!" Noin said. She had just popped in.
"God damn it! Will people quit interrupting me?!" Trowa yelled in rage. Noin stared at him and blinked.
"Well anyway, I know a way to get you guys home!
"
"Really?" Quatre asked. Trowa pulled out a patch of his own hair in anger.
"Yes. Just put on your magic goggles and say 'There's no place like home' three times" Noin smiled brightly.
"That's stupid" Quatre said
"Do it or stay here forever". Then she poofed away again.
"Ready to go home Trowa?"
"More than ready" he answered bitterly
"All right". He put on his goggles and said "There's no place like home" three times (too lazy to type it three times) Quatre and Trowa awoke in the same spot they had passed out.
"Trowa, did all that really happen?
"
"I'm not sure" he said. He saw there was no one around, and decided he'd give it one more shot. "Quatre it's about time I tell you this. I've tried to tell you, but I hadn't because I was too scared to admit it to even myself. I just want to tell you that I-"
"Hey Trowa and Quat! There you are, I've been looking all over for you guys. I wanted to see if you guys were all right" Duo had picked the lock to get in. "Nice to see you guys are- wait Trowa, what are you doing? "What's that evil look for? Ahh! Let me down!". Trowa had walked over to Duo and picked him up, he walked to the window and threw him out. "Ahhh!" Duo yelled until he hit the ground, well, a bush (lucky for Duo
)
"Oh my God! Is Duo ok? Why'd you -" Quatre's words were cut out by Trowa's kiss. They broke the kiss, too early for Quatre's liking.
"What were you saying?"
"Duo who?" Quatre joked, and walked over to the window to drown out the sound of Duo's yelling (since this is rated PG, i'm not about to tell you what exactly he yelled..) "Now where were we?" Quatre asked smiling.
And they lived happily ever after, kind of. Duo ended up in the hospital for a few weeks because of a broken leg and a concussion. It took about hundred dollars worth of food for Duo to forgive Trowa.
-The End
