Wing Warriors

(UnBetaed At -The- Moment)

The pilots (save Duo) were quite taken aback at being addressed by a telepathic being who took the physical form of a pure-white horse.

Heero and Trowa showed no signs of their surprise, however much they wanted to.

Quatre watched with wary eyes, not quite over the shock of 'loosing' and then having Duo back in less then a day. Even as he thought this, Quatre knew that this being was what these people referred to as a 'Companion'.

Duo laughed, somewhat hysterically, (for no apparent reason) causing some heads to turn- and the pilots to wonder just what Sartra was talking about in Duo's head.

Quatre was truthfully quite overjoyed to have Duo back in contact with his 'space heart', even as he used his senses to find, and test, the newly made bond between Sartra and Duo.

It wasn't something normal, or made naturally, and it allowed Sartra to know Duo as well as the pilots did.

Quatre felt a mix of emotions; happiness that Duo had a new companion- for the braided pilot was most unstable when no-one else was with him, and jealously that Duo had someone so close.

Duo as if sensing this, nudged Quatre gently in the shoulder. Quatre looked up, mildly confused, and Duo nodded toward Heero. Quatre smirked, his blue eyes shinning mirthfully.

Heero, who was not used to competing with anyone other then the pilots (and then rarely for Duo held Heero in high regard) for Duo's attention was eyeing the white 'horse', called Sartra, (for it had projected at all four pilots) who seemed to be able to speck quite well for it's self.

Duo shared a wink with Trowa, who couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"He is a Gundam Pilot." Heero stated softly, plainly this in Heero's eyes, explained everything. He was to be sorely disappointed; Sartra snorted whinnying, and shook her head.

: He is my Chosen, and as such, owes alliance to Valdemar for my creation. : Heero glared, "Then it is a simple matter of un-Choosing him." Heero stated, from the sudden gasps, and pale faces, from the Valdemarian's – his suggestion was practically unheard of.

Duo looked sickly, and since the conversation had moved from theory into action, decided to interrupt before Heero could get any ideas.

"Heero, that's not a great idea, I like her – and while she could Un-Chose me…I don't want her to." Duo explained in a soft tone, slightly nervous, Trowa kept an eye on Heero's hands.

He didn't think the other pilot would kill 'the horse' just to have things back to normal – but something told him killing the Companion would have an adverse effect on it's Chosen- that being Duo. To Trowa's relief Heero nodded slowly, and backed down.

The absolute last thing they needed was a heart-sick Duo.

Heero Yuy wasn't thinking of killing anything, he was in shock, for the first time in his life something unthinkable and unpredictable, that he had not been prepared for had happened- he had lost an argument to a 'horse'…

Heero took in the field once more, and viewed another Companion with a love-sick expression in its eyes gazing at Quatre.

He abruptly got a sinking feeling- this was likely not the last time he would have, and lose, arguments with Companions in horse skins.

Then a cat abruptly appeared out from behind a tree a few feet away. Heero knew it hadn't been there- and had in fact appeared out of no-where.

The cat had a golden mask of fur covering its face, and startlingly intelligent blue eyes, that saw everything, peered from behind the tree. The cat's long coat was white, save for all four of its dainty paws and a fluffy tail- all of which was as golden as the sun.

Trowa followed Heero's gaze and fell into the cats blue eyes, he had no way of knowing that only a few feet away Quatre was bonding with the twin-sister of Sartra, the Companion known as Senta had Chosen Quatre Raberba Winner.

Duo giggled next to Sartra, and Heero merely let out a long-suffering sigh, his instincts were never wrong. They were insisting that he would be communicating with these animals; he had little doubt in the truth of this.

AN: So after perhaps five people recommend going to thewarriorkai's live journal and reading the fic 'A Change of Scenery' I find I love the work, and bow before the awesomeness of it- it is an inspiration. The other works she/he has out are just as awesome though. For anyone who doesn't know;
