Opposite Day
By Loki

Chapter 8: Unconscious…

"What does-" Duo started.

"That means that I don't know if we're heading straight, sideway, or worse.." her voice hesitated. "…straight down."

"What?" he yelled. "Wouldn't we be able to feel it?"

"Not necessarily.. The oxygen around us is being pushed in every direction, so its hard to tell."


Lexi moved around uncomfortably in her seat. She was nervous. But she didn't know what she was nervous about. "Something's wrong," she whispered to herself, barley audible.

"Hm?" inquired Trowa, not glancing from the road. "What did you say?"

"Oh! Nothing!" Lexi quickly commented, not wanting to seem like a worry-wart. "So.. Uh.. What are we going to do when we see Quatre and Elizabeth?"

He looked at her, "I don't know, actually.. Danni?"

"Yep?" she asked, leaning towards the two up front.

He repeated the question and she paused. "Oh shoot.. You're right. We need a plan, because we don't want him shooting Lexi, or trying to get away.."

"Wufei?" Trowa asked, picking up the radio. "Are you there?"

"What is it, Barton?" Wufei gruffly asked.

"We need plan once we spot Quatre, have any ideas?"

Wufei sighed tiredly. "I dunno.. What we really need is a distraction.. Something really big that would really grab his attention, and make him stop the car long enough to knock him out."

Danni scoffed. "Uh.. Wufei? Um… where do you plan to FIND this distraction?"

No sooner than Danni had spoke, a helicopter came soaring down besides the highway, and crashed into the forest. The whole area erupted into flames and light, causing every car to panic and serve in every direction. "Jesus-!" cursed Trowa, gritting his teeth and gaining control over the vehicle.


Eight minutes prior, Loki and Duo were still flying in the middle of the cloud. "Crap.." cursed Loki, who started to panic. "This is NOT good… I haven't been trained for this type of situation yet!"

Duo started to look around. "Do we have any parachutes?"

"I wouldn't recommend a parachute.. Even if we WERE flying horizontal."

"What? Why?" Duo asked, confused.

"Well.. People jump from planes easily, and that's because that there are no blades on a fixed wing. However, if you were to jump out of a helicopter, the air from the outside would instantly push you up, throwing you into the-"

"Ah," Duo said, stopping Loki. "I get it.. I get it.. Man, I don't want to picture that!"

Loki nodded. "We should be getting out of the cloud soon… I'm starting to see something other than white…"

Sure enough, there were patches of light yellow and green starting to form through the misty haze. Another minute later, they were completely out. "SHIT!" yelled Loki loudly, as she grabbed the controls, and immediately tried to bring the helicopter upright.

The moment they got out of the could, a tiny mountain hill was right in front of them, and Loki had just barely missed it, but she wasn't able to keep the tail rotor from being hit, and, completely torn off. Loki screamed, lights were flashing, and loud beeps continued to resonance. The chopper was sent flying in every direction, making Duo use extreme measures. He grabbed Loki, and prepared to launch his plan.


Every car on the highway stopped, inspecting the damage. Many cars has been hit during the crash, so there was an extreme case of traffic. The six teenagers would have used this time to go find Quatre, if they weren't busy looking at the helicopter. "Is.. That.." started Lexi, only before fainting onto the ground.

Trowa picked her up, and tried to wake Lexi up. Danni stared. She couldn't say anything. "It can't be.." she said, and started to walk towards the totaled chopper.

Wufei grabbed her hand and stopped her. "Let me Go!" she yelled, spinning back. "Your comrade was in there too!" her eyes started to swell with tears. "Don't you care?"

"We are soldiers," Wufei simply put. "We are accustomed to death. Its inevitable, and we're prepared for it."

"But Loki wasn't!" she screamed. "Loki wasn't a soldier! She wasn't a soldier!"

Heero walked up to her, and tried to comfort his friend, but she pushed him aside and walked away. Heero stared at her, and felt himself starting to cry too. "Wufei.." began Heero, as he looked up at him.

"Don't start with me, Yuy," Wufei growled. "You would agree with me too if you were normal.." you could hear the hurt in his voice.

Rori's hold on Wufei tightened. She wasn't crying. She wasn't talking. She just stood there. Wufei knew that this must be very had on her emotionally, so he cautiously walked her over to the car so she could sit.

Meanwhile, Heero was still trying to comfort Danni. She, however, was in the process of kicking her pain and tears away using a nearby rail guard. Near the other car, Trowa was waving his face in front of Lexi's face, trying to get her to regain consciousness.

Wufei stared at what happened, and started feeling something. He wasn't angry. He was pissed. "Barton," he heatedly said to him. "Watch Rori."

"What? What are you going to-"

"Just watch the girl!" he yelled back.

Trowa asked no more questions. He hadn't seen Wufei this mad since his home colony was destroyed. He didn't know what the china man was going to do, but it wasn't good.


"I don't believe this!" yelled Quatre, as he stared at all the traffic through the driver's window.

He unrolled the window and screamed out, "Come on! Move it!"

Elizabeth stared around her in the back seat. She had been very on-edge since she heard a slight 'boom' and felt the ground shake seconds after it. Soon, Elizabeth found herself glancing in the sky, wondering if they were under some sort of attack.

She sighed and slumped back into the seat. "You good to go back there, gorgeous?" Quatre asked with an evil smile.

It took every ounce of Elizabeth to not smack him right there, so she settled with giving him the middle finger, something she never does. He chuckled, and looked at the road again.

Guys.. Elizabeth thought. Please.. Come help me!

She looked into one of the rear-view mirrors, and saw a man dressed in white walking up to them. He wasn't trying to hide himself, he was just walking in. "Wu-Wufei?" she asked herself quietly, not wanting Quatre to hear.

Sure enough, Wufei was walking up to them. She shuddered when she saw his face. It looked like someone had shot his kid right in front of him, and was going to kill the man who did it.

Quatre looked back into the mirror as well, and saw the approaching pilot. He smiled to himself, and walked out. "You guys just never know when to-"

Quatre was cut off shot, because Wufei had walked right up to him, and punched him really hard in the face. His face made no change as he continued to punch and hit the blonde pilot. "Wufei! Wufei, please stop it!" Elizabeth yelled, thinking this was getting out of hand.

She jumped in front to block his blow, and got hit in the face for it. She fell down, and grabbed her cheek, trying hard not to cry. Her scream instantly brought Wufei out of his violent state, and he sighed.

Not saying anything to Elizabeth, he picked up Quatre, who was now unconscious, and softly said, "Let's go.."

People standing by who saw the whole thing, cleared the path, or got back into their cars as Wufei walked by them. "Things are so crazy today.." one woman commented to her husband.


"Jesus! Wufei did you do this!" yelled Trowa, as he took Quatre from him and started inspecting his wounds.

Danni ran over, and looked at the bruise on Elizabeth's face, but she brushed her friend away, saying it was nothing. The curly haired blonde then used up her time watching over Lexi. She had just received the information about Loki and Duo from Danni, and was doing anything to keep her mind off of it.

Trowa and Wufei were talking to each other. "What do we do now?" Trowa asked his comrade.

"I don't know. These girls just lost their friend. We shouldn't do anything more for a little while. Let's just all go back to the hanger. Does you car still work?"

"Yea.." Trowa slowly said.

Wufei and Rori took Quatre and Elizabeth with them. The placed the platinum blonde across the back seat, with his head propped up against Elizabeth's leg. Trowa had Lexi next to him in the passenger's seat, and he was constantly checking on her. Danni sat silently in the back with Heero, who dared to hold her hand. She made no reaction, and just stared out the window. The Perfect Soldier wanted to console her, but he didn't know what words to use. "It's okay, Heero," she said slowly. "I'll be fine. I just need a minute."

He nodded, and let go of her hand, looking out of his own window. Trowa started the car, and drove in the opposite direction towards the hanger with Wufei in suit.


Duo felt the cold water all around his body, and felt himself drifting. He slowly opened his eyes, only to be splashed by the rivers waters. He shook his head into complete awareness and his mind played the last five minutes back.

..o..

He heard Loki screaming in the pilots seat, and she was scrambling around, trying to do anything to slow the helicopter down. His mind made up a plan, and he kicked open his door. Then he grabbed a confused Loki by her waist, and pulled her out of her chair. He waited for the helicopter to be flung at the right angle, and jumped. They both missed the tail rotors, but now they had to worry about an appropriate landing area. He reached into his pocket, and brought out a short stick-light thing, and flung in into the air.

It opened up, an a little laser scythe came out, and acted as a propeller. He thought that this might work, but it was only made for one person. Even though this would help with the blow of the landing, it still wasn't enough. Loki screamed at him, and pointed to a river that was almost below them. Duo was hesitant at first to drop them both in there, but they had no other choice.

He tilted his scythe, and tried as much as he could to fly directly above the watercourse. Sharp, icy water stung them as they made contact, and Duo lost his hold on Loki. She was pulled into another direction and he saw as she reached her hand out towards him, and called out his name. He tried to power swim towards her, but his head hit against a rock, and he went limp.

..o..

Duo wondered how long he had been out. He tried to lift his legs up to stand, but he was still pretty weak from the crash. His thoughts then turned to Loki, and he wondered if she was nearby, or how far the river had taken her.

He sighed thankfully after limping for about five minutes, and saw her body sprawled out across a rock. He fell down beside he, and shook her shoulder. "Loki? Loki? Are you okay?"

She slowly opened her eyes. "Duo.. I'm.. sorry."

"Nah, its not your fault," he laughed, trying to lighten the mood. He saw scratches and bruises all over her body, and probably had a bunch more himself. "How do you feel?"

"Not much," she laughed, and picked up her arms to try and get up.

She couldn't and fell right back down. She laughed at her attempt, and said, "I never was very good with pain or workouts.." she breathed, before falling asleep.

Horrified at first, he checked her pulse, but was happy when he found out that she really was sleeping. "I have to get us to a hospital or something.."

He picked up his weak body, and bent over to carry Loki. He had to carry her piggy-back style, which took a long time to get right with her in her current state. "Alright," he breathed, and started to make his way west.

Just over the tree-line, he saw the tops of buildings. Hopefully, one would have a hospital there..
