Chapter : The Plot Thickens
Duo rushed forward just as the first rider broke into the clearing. He swung his scythe over head and slammed it into the head of an elf, while landing on the elf's horse's butt, completely catching the elf in surprise. The two riders close to him in a flash of white blinding light and left only ash in there wake. Duo looked up at in surprise to see Zechs almost dancing towards the battle, lightning shooting from his hands with deadly accuracy. Duo just laughed and moved on to the next one.
Quatre was a deadly force just off to Duo's right side. With his curved blades, thin and quick body, many elves fell to the ground, missing heads or limbs. With the Maganac's brut strength next to him not a single elf could even lay a finger on him. Trowa only added to the picture. Though he had taken to jumping high into a tree, arrows shot out in massive numbers from his hidden place. As though the arrows were in steady supply of never ending. They shot out in all directions, the accuracy as deadly, if not more, as Zechs lightning.
Heero was fighting to Duo's left side. His swords never missing a target, when one blocked the other sliced. There was no stabbing in this battle; they would be sliced down, giving little chance in any for survival. Three swords still hung from his side, and his cloths were stainless, but his swords dripped with the blood of horse and elf alike. Treize protected Heero's back, a sword in one hand, a spiked whip in the other. While the whip snapped around a neck, the sword would slice their stomach, or their throat. Never leaving space open for attack, or dropping his guards.
Wufei fought just past Zechs, a single sword in hand and fire streaming from the other. With an intense rage he fought elf after elf. Knocking them from their horses and killing them with little mercy. His cloths stained in blood and the ground around him scorched into black ash. Apollo fought a little ways from Wufei, near Quatre, catching the rouge elf that escaped from the deadly group. He was not a fighter but he would protect them.
Duo felt that he was far enough away from the group know to let himself get 'knocked out'. Though the hit on the head hurt, he was very much aware of what was happening. He didn't move when he was thrown over the horses back and the elf kicked the horse into a gallop. Though he did feel bad, when Heero called out for him, and he couldn't resist the urge to pop one eye open, just enough to see Heero. What Duo saw almost made him open both eyes.
Heero disappeared. That's right, poof, gone, vanished. Duo remained silent however, and ignored the others as he was carried further and further away from them. The rest of the group of elves following in a quickened haste. To Duo's relief his friends didn't follow.
-----(Heero)-----
"Duo!" Heero yelled out and started after the elf with Duo. There was a loud pop around him and before he could even blink he was standing in front of small group of chairs. "Who are you? Where is Duo?" Heero snapped out, holding his swords ready.
A tall man stood up and walked towards Heero. He was dressed in whites, gold's, and silvers, with two sets of wings on his back. One set was black the other white. His eyes were every color imaginable, and his hair changed color like water in a waterfall. He was tall, slender, and well built for battle. Heero's eyes widened and he knelt down and lowered his head in a noble bow.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to question you. You just caught me by surprise." Heero said. This man standing before him was that of the statues he had in his very own castle. This man was the god of gods, the creator of Kelas and everything on it. This man was Kyr os Kyr.
"God's don't bow to gods…I feel like I am repeating myself." Kyr said with a laugh. Heero stood and looked a bit confused. Kyr laughed even louder, which only prove to annoy Heero.
"Look, I know you're Kyr os Kyr, but if you don't mind I was right in the middle of a battle and I need to save Duo." Heero said. Kyr stopped laughed instantly and looked Heero straight in the eye, making Heero feel a little nervious.
"Yes I know." He said simply. Heero glared at him.
"Then why am I here?" Heero demanded. Kyr's smiled.
"To give Duo a head start. Look I knew you would be capable of not allow them to take Duo, so I had to bring you here, I will let you go back in an hour." Kyr said. Heero did the unimaginable. He punched Kyr, square in the face, knocking the god onto his back. But Kyr only laughed and laid there for a few minutes. He sat up and looked up at the seething Heero. "I'm going to have to bring you here more often. No one has ever hit me before, and to be truthfully honest I didn't see it coming. Jhori, I never thought you were one to hit your own family." Kyr said with a smile. Heero's face fell into despair, he had just hit the god of all gods.
"I'm so…I don't know what to sa…what did you call me?" Heero said looking down at Kyr with surprise.
"I called you by your name." Kyr said. Heero shook his head.
"No you didn't, you called me Life." Heero said, his eyes glaring now in suspision. "What is going on, I am so god damn sick of the never ending loop of lies I am in right now I want answers." Heero said. Kyr laughed and nodded, standing up and leading Heero to a low table, with cushions.
"Have a seat Jhori, this will take a little while." Kyr said. Heero sat down and waited for the god to start talking.
-----(The group)-----
"Where the hell did Heero go?" Wufei asked for the millionth time that hour. Everyone sighed around him in annoyance and ignored the ranting elf. Quatre finally answered him.
"Apollo says that Kyr has summoned him. So we will just sit here and wait." Quatre said, closing his eyes and resting up against Trowa. Before Wufei could say anything Treize grabbed him by the mouth and shook his head.
"We find that it's better if you just wait for the answers to come from these 'demons'." Treize said, knowing full well that they were not demons and wanted to know what exactly was going on as well.
"If Apollo, and Anubis are here I'm whiling to believe that Kyr has summoned Heero." Zechs added, Wufei nodded and push Treize away from him.
"I am just worried." He said in a low whisper before walking away a distance and sitting down by himself to think.
-----(Tholi Jhyl)-----
G grabbed Duo by the hair and lifted the boys head up to look at him straight in the eye.
"This is not Anubis. This is a stupid demon boy barely old enough to sprout wings, you fools." J said, stepping away from G and Duo. "What do you morons think you were doing?"
"Sir we saw him change into a figure of death, we believe he is the reaper."
"The reaper?! The REAPER!?" J screamed. "The Grim Reaper is as old as time, this is not him." Duo smiled and decided to prove he was by changing into his reaper form and scaring the piss out of the Tholi Jhyl, but it didn't go as he thought it would have.
Instead they rushed him and brought him hard to the ground, and soon Duo found another collar and chain around his neck to accompany the one Heero had put on him. But this one shocked him, and he jerked violently at the serges of energy rushing threw his body before he felt completely drained of it. He didn't even have enough energy to move as they dragged him away down the hall and tossed him quiet roughly into a small cell.
"Looks like you morons did something right after all." J said, G laughed and they both walked away. Duo just laid there unmoving, hitting himself mentally for changing into his reaper form.
