Chapter 6

"Who's there! Reveal yourself!" the man, Chacs, ordered. The dark creature laughed, as it moved through the shadows. "How do you know me?" More laughter, Chacs spun around, watching the shadows with wide eyes. The two shape-shifters that had accompanied him watched the shadows as well; but unlike Chacs, they were inching towards the door.

"Where do you think you are going?" A voice behind them growled. "You should never have hurt what is mine."

Twin screams ripped through the air, as the two shape-shifters were dragged into the darkness. I watched as Chacs's eyes got huge and fear began radiating off him. "You can't kill me." He stated, lifting his lip in a sneer, "I am immortal." Sinister laughter greeted this statement,

"Everything can die, Chacs, even a great god of thunder, like you, can be sent into oblivion."

The already dark room seemed to get darker. I closed my eyes briefly; when I opened them, I looked around with my Slight. First I saw Heero; his aura glowing a dark blue, blue fire seemed to run down his body, following the paths of his blood. To my right, Trowa glowed a deep forest green, his aura clung close to his skin, tight and controlled. Wufei's bright orange aura flashed and flared with his emotions; yet they were still controlled, held close to his skin...though not as close as Trowa's. A bright yellow-white aura, sparked near Heero like lightning. If nothing else, Chacs's aura gave him away, his face may have appeared indifferent, but lightning-like bits of yellow energy sparked off his body in fear. I grinned, suddenly feeling the beginnings of the age old adrenaline rush and eagerness for battle. Gods, I had not felt that in centuries. Movement to the left caught my attention; a deep blood red aura danced like fire over the figures form... With my enhanced Slight, I could clearly make out the figure as it slowly stalked around the room, circling Chacs like a shark. The creature was lithe, it appeared to be gliding from one shadow to the next; two long black dragon-like wings adorned its shoulders; a long whip-like tail swayed behind the figure as it moved. Each finger and toe were tipped in a long sharp curved claw; its ears were long and pointed, like someone of elfin decent. Its skin appeared slightly rough in places and yet smooth; like a serpent. But, the most disturbing feature on the being; were its glowing red eyes, eyes that were focused, intently on Chacs.

­­­­­

"You ssshould never have agreed to help Him, Chacs." The creature hissed, as it circled the god of thunder. "You knew I would eventually come for you."

"Impossible...you disappeared." Chacs said, fighting to keep his voice steady. Heero starred intently into the darkness that surrounded him; he could just barely make out faint outline of some...thing.

"I was ssent here, to the human world, by the Lord of Darkness himself." The thing hissed, Heero felt a brush of frigid air against his back, and knew the creature had just pasted him. Obviously Chacs knew this too, for he whirled around to face the thing again. "And now, you have freed me from my human body...for fifteen years I have been locked in that form...only able to access a limited amount of my power....I really should thank you...for freeing me." Someone, in the direction of Quatre, chuckled softly...wait...that had sounded like Quatre. "What do you think, old friend?" Heero could practically feel the creature's attention shift from Chacs towards Quatre.

"Oh yes," A deep voice answered, sounding vaguely like the blonde Arabian, "I think we should give him a very large thank you..." A dark evil sounding chuckle followed this statement. Goosebumps broke out on Heero's skin...something was very wrong in this room.

"No...that's alright..." Chacs voice stated, sounding like he was now closer to the door. Heero felt the air move, and he heard Chacs gulp, " Uh...really...you...d-don't need to thank me..." His voice had moved closer to Heero again.

"Oh but I insist..."

Chacs gave a terrified shriek; Heero felt a brush of cold air, then something warm and sticky splashed against Heero's chest. Only years of training kept Heero from yelling; as it was, he had to close his eyes and take several deep calming breathes through his mouth, in order to regain control of his pounding heart. He, Heero "the Perfect Soldier" Yuy, was frightened. He was in a room, hanging helpless, not a mere three feet from man's most ingrained fear...a creature of darkness. The boogie-man, the monster under the bed...vampires, witches, werewolves, demons, devils...for centuries man had told stories of such creatures; stories meant to strike fear into the hearts of anyone who heard them...yet, those stories had never bothered Heero, for he always believed that such creatures didn't exist. Now, as he hung helpless mere feet from one such creature listening to the sound of ripping flesh, Heero Yuy knew fear....not the slight fear as he had experience on the battle field; but true mind numbing terror. Heero felt the air move again, and knew the creature had moved....but where?

"Do I frighten you, Yuy?" The creature's rough voice asked softly; so close that its breath ruffled the hair next to Heero's ear. Heero flinched; the air around him was suddenly very cold. He nearly choked on the scent of blood and death that clung to the creature. "Well, do I?"

"Yes..." Heero whispered his voice shaky. The creature seemed to pause; then a strong arm wrapped itself around his waist. Heero tensed waiting for...for what? The press of fangs to his flesh?...the feel of claws on his skin?...he knew not what, but he waited for it none the less. There was a sharp SNAP and Heero's arms fell limp to his sides; the blood suddenly rushing to the numb extremities causing them to tingle as feeling came back into them. The arm tightened around him as he slide down the last few inches to the floor. Heero paused, the chest he was currently pressed against was slightly soft...and... not...flat. The creature was female???

"You do not need to fear me Heero;" The creatures voice said, though rough it did sound slightly feminine, and was that a touch of saddness he heard? The arm around him disappeared, and the freezing air retreated; Heero staggered as his legs remembered how to work.

There was the sound of metal clicking and hitting stone, then; "Can you take it from here, old friend?" the being's voice asked over in the direction where Quatre was being held.

"If you can open the door for us," the deep voice from earlier said, "And a little light, so they can see?"

Suddenly a small blue-white light appeared near Quatre's head. The Arabian's eye's seemed to glow in the pale eerie light. Without hesitation Quatre moved over and began to remove Trowa's bonds; he seemed to take no noticed to the strange glowing light. Heero glanced around the room; the light cast eerie shadows across thechamber; out of habit he glanced at the floor, checking everything. A large bloody smear disappearing into the shadows in the corner were all that was left of Chacs body.

"Damn..." Quatre swore, "Of course this wouldn't be easy."

"I would advise you stop playing around,oh all seeingOne-Eye (1); I can sense more humans approaching." Quatre turned and glared at the strange being that appeared to be an ally...Heero turned to follow that gaze, and froze.

The light just barely illuminated the creature's side...Heero could barely make of the outline of it's face and the tip of a long pointed ear...a shoulder...hip.....leg....t-tail??...and...was that a wing?? Heero swallowed....what the hell was it? Two glowing red eyes turned to focus on him...

"Fine..." Quatre muttered angrily; drawing Heero's attention away from the dark creature. Hewatched asthe blonde wrapped his small hands around the chains binding Trowa's wrists, and jerked hard upwards. The chains snapped as if they were plastic(2). Heero, Trowa, and Wufei stared in surprise as Quatre went and did the same to the shackles on Trowa's legs. He then walked over to Wufei, and snapped the chain in half. The two pilots stared at the chains dangling from their wrists, to the sweet innocent looking blonde they thought they knew...

Quatre walked right over to the creature; standing next to it, little Quatre only came up to its shoulder. Despite this, the being gave its full attention to the little blonde. They stared at each other for several moments; Quatre's brows drew together in a frown, and then seemed to become very sad. Heero half expected the blonde's eyes to tear like they normally did when he was upset; but no, he nodded to the creature.

"Come on guys;" he said softly as the being disappeared into the darkness; "She's agreed to help us leave..."

"Here." The creature growled, tossing the three pilots the guard's weapons. There were only a couple; Trowa and Heero took the guns, being the better shot; though Trowa protested that Quatre take one of the guns. When everyone was ready; Quatre opened the door, and the being stepped out into the hall. Instantly all the lights went out; the hall was suddenly pitch black.

"Damn! This storm must have knocked out the power! Get the back up power on!" A voice yelled down the hall. The emergency lights came on, casting an eerie orange light down the hall. The dark creature was no longer there.

"Come on..." Quatre said, stalking down the hallway; Heero saw a shadow move up in front of Quatre...perhaps the being was not as gone as Heero had first thought? They came to a corner, Quatre turned tohis fellow pilots,silently indicating that there were six soldiers in the hall....how he knew this Heero didn't know; he had not seen Quatre look. A strange, almost evil smile appeared on Quatre's lips as he raised both his knives into position; then quick as lightning, he slide into the hall running full tilt towards the soldiers. The soldiers saw Quatre and fired; but Quatre dodged to the side, moving to quick for them to follow. One...two...three...four....Heero and the other two pilots stared in amazement, as Quatre took down four armed soldiers in a matter of moments, seemingly without getting a scratch. The remaining two were frozen in place; starring at the bloody remains of their comrades. Quatre was on them instantly;

"Why do I suddenly get the feeling that we don't know Quatre as well as we thought?" Wufei stated softly; watching as this new Quatre stood, not giving his normal apology to his victims.

"Shall we?" Quatre said over his shoulder; there was definitely something different in Quatre's eyes now, something that made his companions very uneasy. However, being the good soldiers that they were, they followed Quatre's lead. There would be plenty of time later; after they had escaped.

"Indeed." Trowa replied, as they raced off after their friend.

I relished the feeling of being in a true battle once more. It had been so long since I had been able to fight like a true warrior, instead of in those damn man made machines. In this day and age, humans had grown soft...no longer did they have battles where enemies clashed together breast to breast trying to slice each other to death...no now they fought from afar, with machines and robots. It was not honorable to fight as such; which is why I had turned to such a pacifist lifestyle. No I did not want people to fight; not like this at least...for this wasn't an honorable fight...there would be no path to Valhalla through battles such as waged in this era. But the need is there, these tyrants needed to be brought down, and who better to help this along then a God of Death...even if the battles are not honorable...there was a needless suffering that I could not ignore.

Odin... Shinigami's voice hissed in my mind. How her voice had changed with this new form! What had always been a pleasant thrum of a human's voice; was now an evil seductive hiss of a true demon's. I had always known that the human called Duo was the daughter of Lucifer...but I had never thought that I would end up seeing her true form. Small wonder I had heard such horrid stories about her.

Odin! Her voice hissed again; I shook my head stopping my mental rambling and focused on what she was saying; the explosives are set...you haveten minutes to get out before this place turns into a miniature Hell.

Shit.

"Guys! Move it! We haveten minutes to get out of range before this place blows!" I call to my three comrades; racing toward the door...luckily we're near the exit. Three more soldiers fall at our feet as we race out of the building to the garage. I crouch next to the door; picking off the enemy soldiers with my stolen gun, if they come to close.

"Get one of those moving!" I bark; Trowa and Heero are already doing so; Wufei crouches next to me and helps trim the enemies flock a bit.

I hear vehicles roar to life; a few seconds later, two motorcycles come into view. Both Trowa and Heero slow just enough for Wufei and me to jump on; then they fly out of there, like a bat out of hell.

I felt Odin's energy signal begin to fade; I knew then that they had escaped and were now on their way to one of the safe houses. As for me...I had to figure out a way to get my human form somewhere safe, put myself back into said body, then find a ready supply of sustenance so that I could heal. Not an easy thing to do. I had gathered enough energy from the deaths of this bases soldiers to heal my body enough that I would be able to get to a safe place...in my human form...however; I needed a ready food source. I wouldn't have the strength to kill anyone to satisfy my hunger...so that meant they would have to be willing.

Damn....who would be willing?....who?...who?...who?...WAIT!....of course! They would help me; I know they would.

Quickly I went to work on creating a Gateway to their home; my internal clock told me I only had about a couple minutes left to get out of there. Luckily the spell was an easy one; I went and lay down in the same position that my human body was in. Instantly I felt some of the wounds heal; then there was the searing pain from my many wounds flooding my consciousness as I reconnected myspirit to this body. Gods I hurt! The room bucked with the force of the explosion that rocked through the base. A manic grin spread across my face as I staggered to my feet; "Sorry boys;" I whispered to the soulsthat would soon be joining the ranks of the newly dead, " I warned you...anyone who sees me has got a date with his maker..." Just as the ceiling of the room begins to crumble, I fall through the Gateway; it closes behind me instantly.

Now it was time for me to pay a little visit to Miss Relena....

1) The god Odin is sometimes refered to as Odin the One-eye...I think...if I'm wrong please tell me, I hate getting my mythology facts wrong...but I'm pretty sure that he was sometimes refered as One-eye.

2) Someone asked me this earlier and I didn't answer them...Why didn't/couldn't Quatre and Duo break their chains before? Well, in first off, b/c they are trying to appear human. Second, b/c it took a lot of energy and conentration for Q-man to do that; so he was saving it for when it was really needed.

Alright; just a general note...in case you didn't notice....when ever there was a line-break in this chappie...the POV changed. First it was Quatre/Odin, then Heero, then Quatre/Odin again, and finally Duo/Shinigami. Ok...everyone got it? Anyone confused at all?? Leet me know...oh and REVIEW!!!!
