(and finally) Chapter7:
The Gullwings jumped up in alarm and fright, Angra was first up, teeth bared and fur bristling menacingly, she roared and a couple of the armed figures pointed their guns directly at her. Byron stood in front of her and shielded her from them.
Yuna drew her guns and Paine grabbed for her sword.
"Is there a problem?!" Yuna asked them angrily
"Permission to speak sir!" yelled one of the cadets, raising his hand to his cap in a salute.
"Permission granted soldier, speak at ease!" answered a heavily armed figure with stripes sewn to his shoulders.
"You have violated law 503!" ( A/N: heh heh, error 503, law 503!)
"5-0-3? Huh?"
"You have pursued information that is confidential and only for New Yevon military's ears."
"How the hell are we supposed to know what is confidential and what isn't?!" shouted Paine, her sword at the ready.
"Paine! Sorry but, what information aren't we supposed to know?"
"The one concerning a newly found aeon" answered the cadet stiffly "we have been ordered to dispose of you as you know too much, now, throw down your weapons!"
As the cadet said this, clicks echoed through the forest as the soldiers loaded their guns.
"No." Byron said coolly as he drew his own sword and edged closer, all guns were now pointed at him, Angra trotted at his side.
"civilian, turn around and back away!"
Byron's sword glittered in the sunlight, Paine was at Byron's side too.
The Gullwings surrounded the figures.
"Now, I ask you to turn around and go back to where you came from" said Byron "If you value your lives that is" Angra roared at his last words and pawed the ground.
A cadet shot a bullet into the air as a warning, but Angra took no notice and lunged at him, tearing his neck savagely and ripping his torso to shreds with her paws.
The cadet screamed and lay dead on the ground, his gun still lay in his cold, stiff fingers.
Angra turned back to Byron, the other figures lay in shock at what they had just witnessed, as it had happened so quickly, they hadn't had a chance to act.
The sergeant recovered quickly, he fired.
A silver bullet hurtled towards the wild cat, a silver messenger of death.
Byron saw what was happening and dived in front, it pierced his leg, blood gushed out of the wound, and he fell to the floor clutching his leg and groaning.
Paine screamed and rushed to his side.
Angra roared and leapt at the man that had fired, tearing him to shreds, blood dripped from her massive jaws.
Shots fired. But all missed.
Yuna shot at a cadet and pierced his heart in one swift movement, he joined his friend on the floor.
Finally, only one soldier was left, the sergeant.
"Now, unless you want to join your cadets" said Byron slowly from the floor still clutching his leg "I strongly recommend that you throw down your weapon and back away".
"NO!" came the answer.
"Yuna, throw me that gun."
The sergeant fired at Byron, it hit his chest, but Byron still caught the gun and fired.
The sergeant didn't have a chance to react, he fell and lay crippled on the ground, blood gushing from four red bullet holes in his chest, he was dead in minutes.
There was a long pause as the Gullwings recovered, but a long, low groan from Byron brought them to their senses.
Byron lay on his back with his blue eyes tightly shut, his mouth open with his forehead taught in a frown, writhing and twisting in agony on the grassy floor.
Angra licked at Byron's wounds whilst Paine stared in disbelief at Byron's body.
Shinra rushed to Byron and took out a first aid kit from his beach bag, Rikku and Yuna joined Shinra whilst Paine stroked Byron's head tearfully.
Brother and Buddy just paced, unsure as to what they should do.
Byron had a large bullet hole in his chest, his leg was also in a bad state. Dried blood stained his hands and the areas where he had been hit.
Shinra took out a cloth and wiped Byron's forehead, then, with the help of Buddy and Brother, carried him back to the airship.
.:The Airship:.
On the bridge, a table had been pulled up and Byron lay bleeding on top of it. Shinra had a pair of tweezers, some bandages and a cloth in his hands to the horror of Byron who turned away as Shinra edged closer.
Brother and Buddy held him down to the table whilst Byron still tried to struggle against them.
Paine cleaned Byron.
Shinra plunged the tweezers into Byron's wound and found the bullet, he picked it out with his gloved hand. Byron shouted, swore and tried to hit him, but was restrained to his painful dismay.
Shinra repeated the process with Byron's leg and then bandaged it along with Byron's chest.
Finally, a cleaned and bandaged Byron lay silently on the table, he slowly got up and shook his hair like on the advert for pantene shampoo (Because you're worth it!).
He hopped over to Shinra and pretended to shake his hand, but went to hit him hard. Brother and Buddy threw themselves at him and rugby tackled his good leg.
"Oh for God sake...I'm only a kid!" shouted Shinra at the growling form of Byron.
"Ok Ok, Byron, calm down honey" Paine ran over to him and slapped Brother and Buddy for being too rough with Byron.
"Ha!" shouted Rikku as Brother winced.
"Come on, you need to sleep, tomorrow, I give you permission to hit Brother and Buddy, but leave Shinra, as he says, he's just a kid" whispered Paine into Byron's ear.
Byron lumbered away with Angra at his heels.
.:Next Morning:.
"Ugggh, my head" groaned Byron into his pillow "what the hell happened yesterday?... Oh" he reminded himself by pulling up his shirt as he felt the bandages "Why the hell did I get myself shot?! What did I do that was so goddamn bad?" He yelled the last words, and growled. The elevator hummed and the bell went as the doors opened.
"What is it? What is it? Are you ok? Byron? BYRON...." A VERY anxious Paine hurtled out of the elevator at nearly 60 miles an hour and sprinted up the stairs.
"I heard you shout..."
"I'm fine, I'm fine, Are you ok?"
"Who cares about me w..."
"I do"
"ok, I get it already, you up to going downstairs?"
"Better than just lying here all day"
"Can you walk?"
"Just about"
Byron lowered his feet from the bed and gradually put weight on his bad leg, slowly, he stood up, most of his weight on his good leg, but a little on his bad one.
"There" he said "What time is it?"
"Nearly eleven"
Byron gently lent on Paine, who led him to the elevator, Byron had a lot of difficulty going down the stairs, but just about managed it.
The doors of the bridge opened and Byron limped in and collapsed in his usual chair by Shinra.
