Forever War
Chapter 5: Fifth One
Author's note
I don't own most of the characters, but I do own the plot and the Card Captor and Soul Crusher thingy. So, no stealing.
Impossible as you all know is Heero Yuy. From now on, Impossible will be Heero, so I won't be typing Impossible anymore. But we all know him as Impossible. Heero is easier to type and sound nicer.
The war is still going on, but I am twisting the plot a little by adding a little member into the Soul Crusher family, so hope you all like him and please review! Thanks for reading Forever War….
Friday Night,
Heero was studying the map of Time portals when Duo finally came back in. " You back?" Heero asked him, Duo nodded. " I am thinking of including someone to our little family. Instead of five, we will be six." Heero told Duo. The rest had already agreed, since they can't really say no to him. Duo nodded and left to rest. Now… Heero studied the map, he was looking for a portal…
Holic Arrow was a female, in charged of the Portal Universe, a Universe combining all different planets, time zones and galaxy. Her job was simple, don't let anyone go to the wrong world or universe. She was checking the status of the portals when she sensed something behind her. She turned to see a guy looking at the portals.
" If you wish to visit any world, you have to write you name down first." Holic told him. She handled him a pen and a piece of paper. He wrote his name down. She then did a check on the name and asked for his fingerprints. It didn't match.
" What world are you from?" Holic asked him, knowing that he had faked his name. " The War between the Soul Crushers and Card Captors." He told her. " If you don't give me your real name, they will reject you." She told him. He sighed.
" Heero Yuy, Impossible. He told her, Holic dropped her pen. She turned to look at him. " I can call the guards, so get out." She told him. " I need permission to visit one of the worlds, I don't want any trouble." Heero told her. " I won't allow." Holic told him, he looked at the machine. He keyed in his full name and scanned his fingerprints. It matched and immediately sounded the alarm. He knocked Holic out and then requested for the portal that goes to the world of Samurai 7. He entered before the guards came, the portals were all rearranged.
Heero landed on a grass field, it was at night. There was a river by the grass field. The town looked very pack and crowded. The buildings were all lighted up with pretty lights, what attracted him the most was the Hotel named Firefly. He walked over, knowing that everyone was eyeing at his outfit. He was, from the future…
" How can I help you sir?" A girl in a Kimono asked him. Heero looked around, he asked for a one-night stay, in one of the rooms. After he had settled down, he went to find his target. As he was walking past an opened room, he saw people inside were celebrating over a happy event. They were drinking wine. Talking and laughing away. Except one who was sitting at the back door, looking at the pond behind. Heero smiled and was about to knock on the door when he withdrawn. He felt something dangerous coming his way. He planned to give it a rest, he walked off.
He made a phone call to Trowa.
" Trowa, tell me the status at Portal Universe?" Heero whispered. " Well sir, Holic Arrow doesn't seem so good, you hit her too hard." Trowa told him. Heero regretted it but he had to knock her out…
" So how?" Trowa asked, Heero smirked. " He's here at the hotel, but he's aware that I am around. He doesn't seem to like me…" Heero told Trowa. " Well, if they don't like us we will always have to kill them or we force them." Trowa told Heero, Heero smirked and tested his powers. He magiced a small fireball, he fired it at the lamppost faraway, it exploded, causing some injuries to some people. Heero smirked.
" Looks like our powers still works." Heero told Trowa, He sensed someone coming, he quickly hung up. He sat down in their Japanese style. Something like sitting on the knee. The door opened, a female came in. She served the food. Heero thanked her and waited for her to leave.
He scanned the food, looking for any kind of poison. He picked up the chopsticks and was about to start his meal when he heard people outside shouting.
" There was an explosion outside, let's go." Someone said. " No, I want more wine…" Someone shouted, sounding drunk. " There may be some bandits still left, let's go." He ordered, sounding like a leader. Heero watched as 6 figures looked at the damage on the lamppost. Heero smiled, looks like they thought it was someone else that cost it.
According to the World of the Samurai 7, there was a great war that had just ended. Where by the farmers were against the bandits, the farmers got the help of the 7 Samurais and managed to defeat the bandits. The Samurais are all skilled and now celebrating at this hotel. Heero finished his meal and cleaned it up, he heard footsteps outside. The door opened. A guy who was wearing a hat with goggles, he was smiling and had brown hair. His sword and a white traditional item on it.
" Hi, sorry to bother you." He told Heero. Heero looked at the other 5 outside his room. " From your direction, you should be able to see who caused the explosion on the lamppost, have you seen who?" He asked Heero. Heero stood up and sighed. " Would you believe it if I say that it's me?" Heero asked, smirking, they all stared at him.
Heero burst out laughing. " Who would see it? It was just a beam." Heero exclaimed. " Well… er… thank you." He told him and then he left the room, Heero noticed a guy staring at him. Heero smirked, the door closed, blocking his view. He needed to test his little subject first…
He went to where the seven samurais were. They were whispering silently. As Heero approached the door, he felt them holding their swords, like instant reflex. Heero smirked, he pulled opened the door.
" Excuse me, I couldn't help noticing, but is that Kyuzo?" Heero asked, they all turned to look at Kyuzo. He was sitting at the back, silently watching Heero. He was blonde and was wearing a red coat.
" Can I talk to him for a second?" Heero asked politely. Kyuzo stood up and walked out. Heero closed the door. He directed the grass field behind the hotel.
They reached the grass field, Heero turned to face Kyuzo.
" I want to have a match with you." Heero told him, Kyuzo immediately responded by taking out his two modified kodachi, from the sheath on his back. Heero smiled, he took out his beam saber, Kyuzo looked a bit surprised at his choice of weapon. He started rushing over, he was fast. Heero could see where he was going even though he moved so fast that it was even hard to catch his shadow.
Heero blocked his first slash, with his beam saber. Kyuzo tried to attack using the other sword on his left hand. Heero jumped back smiling. He was fast but Heero hadn't seen enough to prove that he was good. He summoned 10 robot like things with two big blades. They all surrounded Kyuzo. His eyes moved to look around him, he got ready.
The robots all closed in on him at once, Kyuzo spinned and slashed, breaking all of them into small pieces. Nice, he knows how to free himself in a crowded situation. Heero then used his blade to hit the floor, breaking the ground beneath Kyuzo. He jumped up and vanished from the sky. Heero smiled, he then sensed Kyuzo above him, from his back. Kyuzo jumped down, aiming his two swords at Heero. Heero spinned around and He blocked the move with his beam saber. Kyuzo tried to use his other sword again, Heero kicked his other hand, making his drop his other sword. Heero stepped onto the fallen blade.
Kyuzo and Heero freed themselves from each other. Heero kicked the sword up, he took it and shot it right back at Kyuzo. He jumped and got hold of it in midair. He landed and watched Heero.
" It's not over yet." Heero told him. Heero then summoned up 10 bigger robots, just like the ones the Bandits used. They all started firing their beam guns at Kyuzo. He started blocking them away using his double sword. He started slashing away, to deflect the beams back. It hit some of the robots, causing a few explosions. Heero just watched silently.
He flew over and started slicing parts of a robot off before jumping to another and slicing it through the centre of it. He jumped to another one and ran his sword through it before jumping off to another one. As he finished another one of the robots, one from behind used its gigantic sword to slash Kyuzo. Kyuzo just waited. The sword landed on where he was. Dust was flying everywhere. Heero just watched. He noticed a crack traveling up the sword, cutting it into half. Kyuzo appeared and then he slashed the robot from the top to the bottom. All the parts of the robots fell to the ground. He then threw his two swords at the same time, both of it hit the last robot. It exploded, he didn't even flinch at the near impact.
He waited, Heero saw Kyoto's double sword flying through the air. He caught them right as it fell towards the ground. He then looked at Heero. Impressive, but not good enough. Heero's beam saber turned white. He then extended it, making it long. Heero started swinging the white and long beam saber. He then swung it at Kyuzo. He jumped up and landed on the beam saber's blade. He dash up the blade, towards Heero. He positioned his sword to slash Heero into 2. Heero waited as Kyuzo dashed towards him.
Just when Kyuzo was close enough to Heero, Heero back flipped suddenly, kicking Kyuzo by his chin and sending him flying into the river. There was a big splash, water flew out and wet the grass field, and Heero was also drenched by it. Heero lifted up his beam saber, he waited. There was sudden movement on the water.
Kyuzo appeared and was dashing towards Heero, Heero swung the beam saber, and used it to attack him, and he jumped and dodged the attacks. Heero then swung it at him in a continuous way, Kyuzo blocked them with his double blades. And was still coming towards Heero. Heero withdrew his beam saber back to its normal mode. He slashed through Kyuzo just as Kyuzo slashed through Heero. They all landed on the grass field, waiting for one to fall. Heero then heard the sword falling to the ground behind him. He turned to see Kyuzo bleeding. Kyuzo fell to the ground, coughing out blood. Heero only received a cut on his arm. He slowly walked over to Kyuzo.
Kyuzo watched him slowly. " You are skilled." Heero told him, he was aware that many were watching their battle. He slowly walked up towards Kyuzo, his beam saber still turned on. He then sensed movement. He jumped back as 6 samurai came and stood in front of Kyuzo. They were the ones he met before.
" We won't let you kill him." Katsushiro said, he was like a rookie, with black hair. Heero watched as the 6 of them drew swords. Heero smiled, looks like he will have to go through them too.
" If you all want to fight me, Kyuzo will die." Heero told them. They all turned to se the bleeding Kyuzo. The guy with the brown hair and the hat with the goggles went over to help Kyuzo up. " Heihachi, is it?" Heero asked. Heihachi looked at Heero, a bit surprised.
" Let me help, I won't kill him." Heero told them. He walked slowly towards Kyuzo and Heihachi. But someone pointed his sword at Heero's throat. " We won't need your help." He told Heero. He looked old and was dressed in white. Kanbei, their so called leader. Heero smiled, he turned off his beam saber and threw it faraway that it landed into the river. " Now can I see him?" Heero asked. Kanbei looked at everyone, Kyuzo started coughing out blood again. Heero didn't wait.
He grabbed the sword aimed at his neck and he bent it, breaking it into two. Kanbei looked very shocked, his blade was very strong. Heero then went over to Kyuzo. The other 4 closed in on him. Heero back flipped and kicked some of them away, left with two. A machine like robot and a gut with a long spear like thing. He started spinned the spear and ran towards Heero. Heero jumped and the spear cut the machine like robot into two. Heero then paused as Heihachi got his sword out. Damn, they are persistent. Heero grabbed Heihachi's hand and flung him far away. Kyuzo looked up at Heero, Heero sensed movement behind him. He used his hand, placed it above Kyuzo's arm. A silver light shot up to the sky and blinded everyone. Heero healed Kyuzo, Kyuzo's blood was also clearing away. After the light was gone, Kyuzo and everyone looked very shocked.
Kyuzo was fully well again and he stood up. So was everyone, Kanbei's sword was back to it's normal-like. Even the machine like robot was back to normal. " I suggest we sit down and talk." Heero told Kanbei.
So they all sat down in their room. They all sat around the table, watching Heero. Their weapons with them. After tea was served, the door was closed.
" I would like to know your names first." Heero told them. They introduced themselves. There was a guy with a white scar on his face, his name was Gorobei, The guy who used the spear just now was called Shichiroji. The last on, the machine robot was called Kikuchiyo. Heero took a sip of the tea.
" I came from the future, some where in the future where you all don't exist there. I came here to get Kyuzo to help me in this war we have there." Heero explained. " Why Kyuzo alone?" Kanbei asked. " Because I believe that he's more skillful." Heero told them. " It was a test to see how skillful he was. And I could see that you all really like to help each other." Heero told them. " What was that light?" Shichiroji asked Heero. " It's healing. We can heal wounds and even make things back to what they were before." Heero explained. " I healed Kyuzo just now, since he was almost dying." He explained furthur, looking at Kyuzo.
" Kyuzo, what do you think?" Kanbei asked him. Kyuzo was silent, Heero knew that he didn't like to talk much. " Why do you need my help?" Kyuzo asked. " It's simple. I need your help to defeat those who have been trying to invade us. The war had been going on for so long that I would need your help to finally end it." Heero told Kyuzo. Everyone was silent. " Consider the offer, I will get your answer tomorrow." Heero told them and stood up. He left the room to go back to his own room.
The next day, Saturday Morning,
Heero was sitting on a stone by the river in the grassfield when he sensed movement behind him. He turned to see Kyuzo walking towards him. He stood next to Heero.
"So, what's your answer?" Heero asked him. " I have no mission here, I am just someone who wants to take on a mission and finish it. So I am going with you, to the future." Kyuzo told Heero. Heero smiled, he knew that he would come with him. " We won't change the future, you will still be here but you will also be with me. So, let's go." He told Kyuzo.
Heero summoned up a portal, they entered the portal and reached Heero's base. Heero turned Kyuzo into a Soul Crusher, a One Hundred and Fourth Class Soul Crusher. But Kyuzo will still use his double blades, if he like to. The problem was the clothes… Heero decided Kyuzo to change into a black long sleeved shirt and a black pair of pants. He can still keep the red coat on and the sheath. So it was decided. The Soul Crushers all sat down for a celebration. Kyuzo was silent most of the time, so it didn't really work that well.
Heero explained the powers and rules of the Soul crusher. Now, Heero had 5 so called helpers. Now to send Kyuzo on a little test.
" You see, Slayers and Soul Crushers were enemies. So, your job is to slay Slayers. It should be easy, but, we all can die so many times it makes it hard. We have to drain their powers off first before killing them." He explained the Kyuzo, he only nodded showing agreement. " So, I want you to go after Kitty." Heero told Kyuzo.
Heero went into Umi's dream that afternoon. Umi had dozed off in a History class. In her dream, Umi was watching a couple playing with their baby. Heero sat down beside her.
" Funny dream." He told her. Umi ignored him, smiling as the baby smiled as her father made funny faces. " I have a little surprise prepared for Kitty. So, get her running. I want to see the fun." Heero told Umi. Umi sat up straight and stared at Heero. " Why her now?" Umi asked him, Heero just shrugged. " Don't say I didn't warn you." Heero told Umi and vanished from her dream.
Kitty was walking down a street when she felt eyes on her. It was freaking, like a Soul Crusher had set his eyes on her, targeted her… She turned to look behind her, there were a lot of people, so it wasn't clear as to who was following her. She walked towards the town centre. She was to pick up the new weapons Clow Reed had ordered. As she went in, even though she was smiling, she was aware that someone was watching her. She came out, thinking of leaving. She walked quickly towards an alley. She reached a fountain.
" Hey, Kitty, thanks for saving my son from those Soul Crushers." Someone told her. Kitty smiled, she turned to look behind her. There was no one standing in the alley. She sensed nothing.
" Whoever you are, stop hiding, show yourself." Kitty said to nothing. Then, she heard footsteps, a guy stood out of the shadow. He had blonde hair and was wearing a red coat, with a sheath that was fitted to his back. It held two double blades. No kidding, who will wear that in this kind of time?
" Why are you following me?" Kitty asked, he didn't answer but only responded by taking out his two double blades. They were shiny and he positioned them. Kitty took out her gun and put it off the safety mode. " Answer me!" She shouted, firing. He flipped his blades, holding them properly. He used the two blades to form an X when he came rushing towards Kitty, blocking the bullets. Kitty hadn't brought advanced bullets. He was getting closer, he was zooming so fast that Kitty didn't know what to do. He was only an inch away from her, he extended one of his blades in great speed and stabbed Kitty in her heart with it. Kitty started vomiting blood. He pushed the blade through her heart, Kitty coughed. He then threw her to the floor, pulling out the blade stained with Kitty's blood. He watched her for a while before walking away slowly. Kitty's vision blurred.
" We were too late, she's dead." Clow Reed told them. Umi felt very upset, she didn't believe Heero will send someone after Kitty. " However, like we all know, we are Card Captors. She had only lost one life. So, she's not dead yet." Clow Reed told them. Everyone broke into a smile, relieved for once.
That night,
Umi was getting ready for bed. She was standing in front of her table, combing her hair, looking at the mirror. She saw Heero's reflection reflected on the mirror. " I am surprised, it's still early." He told her. Umi turned to see Heero sitting on her bed in another split second. Umi placed her comb down.
" You sent someone to kill Kitty didn't you? He looks skilled. Kitty told me too. It was like someone you pulled from other worlds. "Umi told him. Heero clapped twice. " I am pleased that you found out. But you are a bit too late." He told her, his eyes flashed silver once. It was freaky, silver eyes? Umi placed her comb on the table. " What do you want?" Umi asked him. Heero shrugged, looking around.
" You see, we are from two different class and we are rivals, fighting each other in a war that is happening right now." Heero told her. " Then why are you here to see me?" Umi asked. Heero walked over towards her, he lifted her head up to meet him. He smiled once at her, Umi found that he was reading her again.
Kyuzo was standing onto of a mountain, holding his two blades, resting. As wind blew, his sword shook. Kitty… She was his. He then sped down the mountain and vanished into the shadows, to find her.
" Umi's busy." Angel told Kitty. Kitty nodded. Dying once wasn't nice, not at all. " Anyway, we didn't have much information as to who he was. We tried our best but your description wasn't enough." Angel told Kitty. Kitty nodded and accepted the cup of hot coffee from Angel.
Umi sat up on her bed in the middle of the night. Damn it, she couldn't get any answers. She had to go and visit Kitty. She grabbed her clothes and shoes and ran to the bathroom.
As Umi was waiting for the lift in the hospital, many doctors rushed past her. Umi followed them anyway, out of curiosity. Her eyes widened. She saw Kitty lying on the hospital bed with her eyes open. There was a sword stabbing through her. Umi rushed over, she pulled out the sword and started to heal Kitty.
Heero looked at Kyuzo, somehow he knows that Kyuzo wasn't keen now. Killing a person so many times over and over again was boring. Heero looked at his friends. They were used to the killing, but not Kyuzo. He's sending him back later.
Kitty was saved, she told Umi that someone tried to kill her. " It was the same guy earlier… He was carrying this two swords. He slashed everything in the room. And Angel wasn't around, I couldn't protect myself. " I am sorry Kitty, for not being here with you." Umi told Kitty. Kitty shook her head. " No, It's me… I am too weak…" Kitty told Umi. Umi sat down and hugged Kitty.
Clow Reed sighed, tired from the mind games. Belmont was panting too. They had been trying to break the force field Heero placed on his base. Heero sure was powerful… He kept on testing them, and they always failed to get through…
The next day, Sunday Night,
2.00 am
Umi and Kitty were patrolling the misty streets at night. Umi was on her guard tonight, someone may try to strike again this time. Kitty pointed to a bar. It was still open, at this hour… They went over to make sure that everything was fine. There were people drinking and dancing on the crystal dance floor.
" Welcome Slayers, what do you want? Beer?" The manager asked. They rejected the offer and looked around. Nothing suspicious. One man walking past them, bumped into Kitty accidentally. Umi had to steady Kitty to keep her from falling. " Sorry." The man told them, Kitty stared at his green eyes, they were a bit funny looking. He walked out of the pub, alone. " He's a Soul Crusher." Kitty told Umi. " How did you know?" She asked her. " His eyes, he used green colour contacts, but the shine of the diamond eyes are still too bright. He couldn't cover them well." Kitty told Umi. They followed the Soul Crusher secretly. But they lost him as it was too misty to see where he was. They split up and as the mist got heavier, Kitty lost her way.
Her eyes couldn't adjust to the mist. She was a very obvious target. She felt a hand grab her from behind. She struggled to kick or punch that person. But he or she was too strong. She was pulled into an alley. She tried screaming, but that person covered her mouth.
" I never thought that I would be meeting such a beautiful Slayer." She heard. It was that Soul Crusher from just now. Kitty tried stepping on his feet. He shifted his leg away from her. Kitty tried to reach for her gun under her shirt, but he disarmed her quickly. It wasn't as misty here. Kitty saw herself staring into his Diamond colour eyes.
" Don't worry miss, I promise I will be gentle on you. Besides, it's been a while since I fed on a Slayer…" He told her. His hands smoothed down her sides. She struggled to get away from him. Kitty was never aimed or targeted because Umi was around… Now she knew how it felt like… The Soul Crushers only know how to rape and kill… Bastards and perverts… She thought.
He pressed her hands down on the wall, above her. He started unbuttoning her shirt. He took a sniff of her scent and his eyes glowed brighter. He was strong, and quite good-looking. Kitty mentally slapped herself, all Soul Crushers are like that, they seduce you and then they kill you after raping you. She mind linked to Umi.
Save me Umi! Kitty sent to Umi. Umi received that message. She tried to run over, but her eyes too couldn't adjust to the mist. As she was trying to feel her way, she felt something fly past her and it cut her arm. There was a strong gust of wind and it blew all the mist away.
" Good night, Miss Slayer." She heard, Umi turned to see Heero Yuy standing on the rooftop of the building. Umi fired 3 shots and he blocked them all. " I won't let you save Kitty, after all you will be next." He told Umi. Umi's eyes narrowed, she tried to clone herself to go save Kitty. But her powers were binded, there was a force field around her.
" No use Umi. I binded your powers. You are now just a normal human, no powers." Heero told her. He sighed and looked at the full moon. " Such a beautiful night" He told Umi. Umi was helpless, but she wasn't going to give up.
" No!" Kitty shouted as the Soul Crusher slipped his hand up her skirt to stroke her sides. " No use denying it, it will only feel more painful. Come, accept me and enjoy it." He told her. He then licked down her neck. " Damn you…" Kitty cursed, he laughed, seeing how pathetic she was. " No one will save you now…" He smirked at her. Kitty closed her eyes, then she felt a slice of air. She opened her eyes to see the Soul Crusher explode before her. She blinked and looked up on the roof. It was that swordsman who tried to kill her. Kitty buttoned up her shirt and she grabbed her gun and started firing. He ran across the roof to avoid the bullets.
" Looks like she's saved." Heero told Umi. Umi finally got to the roof after a hard time climbing up there. " I will kill you Heero, I swear. And then this war will end." Umi told him. Heero laughed. " You can never kill me. You can't even touch me!" He told her. " You may have binded my powers, but I am not useless." She told him. " Diamond Powered Sword!" Umi shouted. Light formed a shaped of a word and it appeared floating in the air. Umi took it and pointed it at Heero. " Clow Reed and Belmont created this for me." Umi told him. A sword that was created in heaven from their most precious gem stone, Heaven Star. To create this sword that come with 20 spaces for 20 diamond that is different in colour and means different things and powers up the sword. It shined to show how well polished it was.
Umi fitted in 6 colours, a blue, yellow, red, pink, green and white diamond into the slots. " Power Up!" Umi shouted. The sword glowed white and Umi shot a lightning bolt at Heero. Heero dodged it and deflected the next attack. Umi blocked the reflected attack. Heero smirked, his eyes were glowing.
Kyuzo dodged the bullets, he threw his sword at Kitty. Kitty transformed into a kitten and it jumped onto the roof and ran off. Kyuzo gave chase. The kitten looked at the ground below. It was high, and dangerous for a little kitten like her. The kitten walked faster, trying to hide in the shadows of the roofs. But she could heard the sound of footsteps near her. She almost slipped on a tile. She hid inside a pipe and kept quiet, waiting for Kyuzo to come. He didn't and she didn't hear the footsteps anymore. Smiling to herself, the kitten escape from its hideout and continued walking on the roof. Her foot slipped on a tile and she fell from the roof. Kitty screamed, but it only came out as a meow.
Kitty the kitten open her eyes to see herself in the arms of that assassin. He caught her? He looked at her and placed her on the ground. " Transforming into a cat?" Kyuzo asked, Kitty flexed her paws and her claws came out. She was around to scratch him when he picked her up again.
" Kyuzo, our work here is done." Heero told him. Kitty saw Heero carrying Umi. Umi looked badly injured, she had fainted. Heero raised an eyebrow at the kitten. " Kyuzo, I think you should go back. You don't seem to fit in well here." Heero commented. Kyuzo nodded and handled Heero the kitten. " It was an experience." Kyuzo told Heero. Heero smiled and made Kyuzo what he was before and sent him back to his universe. Heero looked at the kitten and he shot it with his gun. It was a tranquillizer. Kitty fell asleep. What happened next was unknown…
To be continued…
