The Voice

Disc 3

By: Quatre Raberba Winner (Quatre-Chan/Onna-Quatre)

The sky was dark and cloudy and once the party set foot into the sea of trees they could barely see three feet in front of themselves. Quatre took one step forward only to have a strong hand take hold of his arm, "Don't wonder off. I'd hate to see my life without you..."

"I'll be okay. I'm just going to stand right here. So can I have my arm back?" he felt the lancer release his grip. Then he took his two hands and placed them in front of his chest. A small white glow appeared as his necklace lifted itself from under the blonde's white robe. He whispered to him self, then his earring emitted the same light. As the light got brighter he brought his hands up over his head.

The mist parted and the prince's four other companions looked in amazement. He turned and faced his friends, his aquamarine eyes looked very tired but never the less he had his gentle and sweet smile on his face, "Let's get going..." his eyes drifted shut and he fell forward right into his lover's arms.

"Is he all right?" WuFei questioned.

The green-eyed boy nodded as he stroked his koi's hair, "He's never cast a spell like that, well not on this large of an area anyway." He lifted the sleeping boy into his arms.

"Trowa," the Paladin spoke up, "where did he get that necklace. I never noticed it before."

"It once belonged to his mother. She was really the only one in his family that excepted him for who and what he is. I don't see why his father couldn't and I really don't see why Iria can't. That necklace means the world to him..."

"When did he lose his mother?"

"Two years ago. She went to Vishira to tell the queen that the engagement between her daughter and Quatre was off. But then she was murdered within the kingdom by a girl wearing black armor."

"Black armor..." Mura put her left hand to her forehead as images of burning buildings and screaming civilians ran through her mind. Then she started to tremble as she saw a blond woman covered in blood. "No..." she gasped, "NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she fell to her knees holding her head.

"Mura?" the summoner knelt next to her and placed his arms around her trembling form, "Calm your self. It's going to be okay..."

"Yeah..." her shaking had ceased and she looked right into WuFei's onyx eyes, "Stay close to me..."

"Okay." He helped her to her feet.

Heero looked the girl over then raised a questioning eyebrow, "What caused you to do that?"

"My home was burnt to the ground and someone stood before me asking for help. She was covered in blood from head to toe. Just hearing your conversation about Quatre's mother reset the memory."

"The forest may have caused some of it as well. This place does bring out the worst from people's pasts."

"Then these earrings don't do squat." Trowa mumbled.

The dark haired Paladin nodded, "At any rate we have to get to Dr. Howard, but the sun is starting to set. I think it would be wise for us to set up camp here and continue in the morning."

Everyone nodded. They all took a few steps forward and began to set up their camp in the middle of the clearing. As the day turned into night the four soldiers were settled around a fire.

Trowa had laid his koibito on a sleeping bag as he and the other two boys stared into the blazing flames. Although every now and again he glanced over to his love to make sure he was all right.

The summoner took his eyes off the fire and looked at his surroundings. He did a double take when he saw that their female companion wasn't next to him. "I'll be right back..."

"Where are you going? Heero asked, his eyes never leaving the flames.

"To look for Mura. I know she couldn't have gone far, but still this place is too dangerous for any of us to be wondering off by ourselves." With that he walked off.

He approached some of the trees to the right of the camp. He slowly walked through the parted pieces of nature and within a minute of walking and avoiding branches he found his friend in a small hot spring.

The raven-haired boy blushed as he watched the girl bathe and as she bathed she hummed a little tune. He sighed to himself as he turned around, At least I know you're safe. He walked back towards the camp.

The lancer looked at the returning summoner with curiosity clearly shown in his emerald eyes, "Why are you blushing?"

"There's a hot spring over there." He pointed behind himself as he sat down.

"I see." Trowa turned his attention back to the resting Quatre.

The Paladin watched the green-eyed boy for a moment then spoke, "We better get some rest. After all, when we reach Dr. Howard we'll be on our way to the Cave of Oblivion and we have to be on our guard." With that he put out the fire and laid himself on his sleeping bag.

WuFei stood once again and leaned against one of the trees that was to the entrance to the hot spring. A small breeze passed him and he shuttered.

"WuFei..."

He looked around himself, but saw no one. He sighed and just shook it off.

"You still have no right..."

The onyx-eyed summoner took a step away from the tree, looking at every inch of his surroundings. "Where are you?!"

"Right here weakling."

He looked ahead of himself saw what he though was his deceased wife. He took another step forward, but kept his distance, "How? Why?"

At that moment Heero had awoken to see what all the yelling was about. He stood from his place on the ground and approached the shouting boy, //What's wrong?//

"I'm going to rid you of everything..."

The Prussian-eyed paladin put a hand on WuFei's shoulder only to have it slapped away rather roughly. //What's happening?! WuFei answer me!//

"You should have died. Not me.

"Nataku.. ." he gripped his head in pain as the memory of his wife's death hit him full force, "No, I didn't mean.. . For you..." He screamed in agony as his earring shattered into pieces.

//WuFei!//

"Now you'll be the one to die..."

Heero grabbed his friend's right wrist, but at the sign of his touch, the summoner took his left arm and slammed I his fist against the knight's jaw. Heero fell on his back and from his spot on the ground he saw his comrade approaching him with his sword drawn.

WuFei loomed over the fallen boy and held both his wrists down with one hand. His onyx eyes were so clouded over that it was impossible to even see if there was any emotion in them. He tightened his grip on the boy's hands, "I wanted to fight for what you believed in, I tried being what you wanted. Yet you couldn't except that and you still mock me for everything I do! But no more." He moved the blade of his katana to the Paladin's throat, "You'll finally be put to rest, Merin."

//WuFei, stop! You don't know what you're doing!//

"You don't have the guts. You were always the weak one in the clan..."

"Shut up!" he grazed the edge of the sword against Heero's flush.

The lancer stirred in his sleep and to his dismay awoke to see what all the noise was, "What's going on?" when his vision fully came into focus he gasped. He quickly stood from his sleeping bag and hastily went to them, "Stop it WuFei! You're hurting him!" He took a hold of the summoner's arm that was occupied with the other boy's hands.

WuFei glared at the uni-banged lancer. He swiftly moved his arm causing Trowa to go flying towards the darkened trees. After watching his teammate smack into a trunk, he set his onyx eyes back on the paladin beneath him. "Rest in peace..."

"Demon's Lullaby..."

A purple and white light hovered over the raven-haired boy. His eyes turned back to normal and began to drift shut. He moved the sword away from his comrade and collapsed on top of him.

Trowa slowly made his way towards them, "Is he all right?"

"He's sleeping now. I wonder..." he glanced at WuFei's left ear and noticed that his earring was no longer there. "Did he put his earring on before we left?"

"Yes. We all put them on before we left Blade's house."

Then it broke... he shook him self out of his thought, "Help me bring him over to the camp."

The green-eyed boy nodded and did as he was requested. He and Heero placed WuFei on his sleeping bag and then re-lit the fire. Trowa sighed as he started to watch the flames, "Did you here anything when that light appeared?"

"No, did you?"

"Yeah, it sounded like it said 'Demon's Lullaby'. With words like that floating on the winds of this forest, it's without doubt not safe. Even if we do have these things." He flicked his earring.

"What's going?"

The two boys looked up to see Mura gazing down at them with concern clearly shown in her blue eyes. Heero and sighed and told her everything that had happened. The purple-haired girl knelt beside WuFei and placed one of her delicate hands on his forehead, "Don't blame yourself..." she then laid herself down next to him taking hold of one of his hands.

* * *

Daybreak came like it was nothing. One moment the sky was filled with sparkling orbs of light and the next it was clear and blue with the sunrays beating down.

Quatre opened his aqua eyes and rubbed them sleepily. He rolled on his side and saw his lover sleeping with one of his arms draped over the blonde. Quatre giggled and kissed him lightly on the lips.

Trowa slowly opened his green eyes and smiled, "Thank the heavens you're all right." He sat up with the white mage in his arms.

"About time you two woke up."

The two boys looked ahead of them and saw a semi-smirking Heero and a giggling Mura. Quatre blushed and buried his face in his koi's shoulder and Trowa arched a questioning eyebrow, "Why's he still sleeping?"

Heero shook his head, "I have no clue. Perhaps we should turn back and give up."

"What?! We can't give up now! If we do, this war may never end. Heero you don't want to go back and marry Relena, do you?" the purple haired girl sighed as she turned her gaze to the boy next to her, "He lost almost everything, I can't stand the thought of him or anyone losing something they hold close to them again."

The prince stood from his spot next to Trowa, "She's right. We've worked way too hard to give up now. I want the people in my kingdom to live a peaceful and happy life in the way they see fit. I'm not giving up that easily."

"And I'll be there with you no matter what." The lancer announced as he too stood from the ground, "What about you Heero? Are you going to run back to Relena?"

"Absolutely not. I have finally excepted who and what I am. And if we can get this thing and defeat the Romefeller Empire then our lives will be a whole lot better off. There's only one problem though."

"What?" the blonde questioned.

"The forest. Dr. Howard is in the middle, but we didn't even pass the entrance and look what happened. WuFei went crazy and nearly killed me. This place is way too dangerous for even us."

"There is something I failed to mention to you guys." Mura said almost in a whisper, "The forest thrives on sorrow and guilt. When that flashback hit me, WuFei was able to bring me out of it quickly. Knowing that you guys were near I felt warm and calm. I think WuFei must still be living in the past. His heart is over run by sadness and he blames himself for everything that goes wrong. This forest loves it and uses that emotion against you."

"Wait a second." Trowa said as he pointed to his ear, "Then what are these pieces of junk supposed to do?"

"Block out those memories. WuFei just has a lot of burden to bare. If we don't think about the things we regret, we should be all right." She looked at the Paladin, "Could you carry him?"

He nodded and lifted the summoner into his arms, "Looks like if we run into trouble we'll be one fighter down."

"Actually," she picked up WuFei's scabbard that held the katana inside and placed it in her back, "I know some sword skills. So I'll take his place until he awakens."

"Understood. Mura you take the front, I'll be in the middle and Quatre and Trowa you two bring up the rear. This way we'll be able to protect WuFei with no difficulty."

Everyone nodded and started on their way. As they walked none of them spoke a word. The only sounds were that of birds and tree branches snapping under their feet. Suddenly Mura stopped in her tracks looked around the area.

"Why did you stop?" Heero questioned.

"I hear something. Something big."

And then right on cue a huge and ugly black bird flew down in front of the party. It screeched a loud sound and revealed its sharp teeth that were covered in crimson blood. Mura quickly got into a fighter's stance and drew the sword, "There's no choice. We must break through."

"Heero, take cover behind those" he pointed to a group of trees behind them, "trees and protect WuFei. Trowa, Mura and I will fight."

He nodded, "Good luck." He ran off with the raven-haired boy in his arms.

Trowa took out his lance and stood on the left, Quatre stood in the center ready for whatever this beast had and that left Mura on right ready and willing to fight. The bird flapped its wings faster and faster until the wind it produced turned into blades. And with one final flap it sent the sharp winds towards the young fighters.

It hit the three of them dead on making them receive a good amount of damage that sent all of them to one knee, with Mura propping herself up with the sword and Trowa maintaining his balance with his lance.

A small glow appeared in the mage's hands. He slowly stood from the ground and held his hands in the air, "Solar Healing!" three sunbeams came down showering the party in a bright light. After the brightness faded the fighters were once again back on their feet.

Trowa ran forward and slashed his lance upwards, but the bird was too quick and dodged it with ease. Mura was the next inline and ran forward, slashing downward and then upwards, but to no avail.

The creature brought itself higher into the air and then with one sift hit, came swooping down nailing the blonde healer hard. The lancer ran to the fallen blonde's side. He frantically fished through his items and gentle poured the Phoenix Potion down the boy's throat.

Quatre's eyes fluttered open and nodding to his guardian they both stood and retook their positions with Mura. The blue-eyed female held the blade sideways and ran her left hand along the cool steal. The sky had become dark with clouds as rain started to come pouring down on them, lightning flashed in the far distances as she raised her sword into the air. A swift bolt of lightning came thundering down and infused the blade with its electric energy. She ran forward, jumped into the air and had the blade come crashing down on the monster causing it to screech in agony.

The creature's dark eyes began to glow an eerie red. It glided over towards the party and hovered over the green-eyed boy. Its eyes flashed and before the lancer could react, his body had become cased in stone. The bird retook it position ahead of the party and started to flap its wings again and sending out one razor sharp blade at the petrified boy. Mura quickly moved in front of the boy and took the full force of the damage.

She fell to one knee and could barely keep herself up even with the sword to support her. The white mage placed his hands in front of his pendant and once again chanted a small spell. A small gust of wind blew around him and he then faced his female companion, "Gentle Breeze..." small green lights flew around the girl along with the wind, healing all of Mura's wounds.

The purple-haired girl held the katana upright had her left hand on the blade and in front of her face. She shut her eyes, as a red and orange glow appeared around her, she made no attempt to strike the enemy.

The bird landed on the ground and brought its wings in front of itself then spread them apart again forming a barrier. Quatre approached the petrified lancer and placed his hands on the boy's chest. A white glow spread from his hands and covered his protector from head to toe, "Heavenly prayer..." the light from his hands flashed and right then Trowa was back to normal.

The green-eyed boy jumped into the air and came down with full force only to have his spear caught in the attack barrier. The rain from Mura's last attack continued to come down. Her eyes flew open and she brought her sword down to her side, "This is as far as you go." She ran forward putting in all the strength that she had gathered and plowed the katana through the barrier causing it to shatter. She pushed herself into the air cutting the monster right in half then on the way down quickly slashed the blade to the right and cut it into another two pieces.

The bird then vanished into thin air as the girl landed on her feet. The rain washed away all the blood on the weapon and then stopped. Mura put the katana back in its rightful place and looked at her teammates who stared at her in utter shock. She let out a small giggle before approaching them.

"Where did you learn to fight?" Heero asked as he came out hiding with WuFei now on his back.

"My grandfather. I was rather young when my home was destroyed, I'd say I was about 3-4 years old. My grandpa had a fascination with swords and he taught me some of the basics with a wooden sword."

"What about the attacks with the lighting and the weird red glow?" the blonde questioned as he held onto Trowa's arm to ensure that he was not still a piece rock.

"The red glow was my energy, it's call Focus. My grandpa too taught me that one. The Lightning Strike move I learned a few years ago on my travels in Vishira. The head knight taught it to me."

"In any case we should head on our way before we are attacked again." Trowa said while running his fingers through Quatre's silky hair.

The Paladin nodded, "Then lets continue on."

They walked for about a half an hour before reaching yet another clearing only this time it was like something was blocking their path and it was no where to be seen. Mura approached and held her hand out.

"What do you feel?" the white mage asked quietly.

"Energy."

"Energy?"

"Energy. Just like I said 'energy'. But it's not that of magic."

Heero arched an eyebrow, "You sure?"

"Yes. It feels like machine. Hm..." she took out the sword that was strapped to her back and shut her eyes. She blocked out all the sounds around her, but that of the soft 'hum' of the energy. Her arm slowly lifted half way and pointed to the left of her. The girl's blue eyes flew open and with one quick movement she thrust the sword forward into the nothingness.

"I don't get it..." Trowa said in a low tone. He took a look at the his other companions, the one's that were awake that is, and saw that they had the same look of confusion that had befallen him.

"Shh." Mura took a quick glance at them out of the corner of her eye, "Just watch."

The three boys held their gaze to the sword, as did their female friend. In a matter of moments the sound of something shatter was heard echoing through out the forest. The boys stared in yet another shock as the 'nothingness' shattered just like a fragile piece of glass. Then they blinked to be sure what they saw was really there, before them stood a log cabin with all sorts of metal going on and around it.

The purple-haired girl lowered the weapon and placed it back in its sheath. She turned to her friend's and smiled, "What you see is not always what you get."

"What's going on out here?"

Everyone's gaze quickly turned to the old man running out of the house. He was bold up top, but had gray hair coming out at the sides. He wore black clothes with exception of the white lab coat and dark sunglasses. The man knelt down next to the sparking piece of metal.

"What have you people done! This was the only thing I had to protect my home!"

"Dr. Howard, do not blame them. It was I who figured out that it was an energy barrier, not a clearing. If anyone deserves to be yelled at it's me..."

He quirked an eyebrow, "A white mage, a lancer, a paladin and a summoner... are you by any chance heading for the Cave of Oblivion?"

"Yes." The white knight spoke as he took one step forward, "We are going to stop this war, but before we do we have come to seek your help."

"Oh? Well then please come in." Howard flipped a small switch on the back of the machine and then it was back to normal. He quietly stood and entered the cabin with the travelers.

Heero had laid WuFei down on a small sofa and then took a seat with the others and Howard in the small kitchen. The old man looked at them with a questioning gleam behind his dark shades, "So how may I be of serves to you?"

"Well," Quatre spoke with a small smile, "first could you tell us why there was an energy barrier around your house?"

"There are very many dangerous monsters lurking about. Why just the other day there were about three soldiers walking through here and a giant bird came down and took them away."

"Then that was HUMAN blood we saw on that thing's teeth?" the blond started to turn green as he put one of his hands to his mouth.

"You guys saw that thing?"

Trowa nodded, "We were leaving our camp and it attacked only a few feet away from it. Mura was the one that got rid of it."

"You young lady?"

"Yeah and that brings up something too. You guys must not tell WuFei that I can hold my own. I think he feels a little worth while knowing he has something or someone to protect."

Howard gave a small nod, "Having someone to protect is what makes a true soldier. Anyway, are there any other questions you would like to ask before we get down to business?"

"How can you live in a place like this?" Quatre asked once the urge to throw up was gone.

"Because I regret nothing. I have nothing to regret, with no illusions to bother me and as long as the monsters stay away it's not such a bad place to live."

"I see." Mura commented as she left the kitchen to go check on the resting summoner.

She approached and knelt next to the small sofa, "The last thing I would want is to take away your pride, but soon you will see the whole truth..." she whispered, "I know you'll be upset with me, but I have to do my job. Please forgive me..." she leaned forward and kissed him lightly on the cheek. She stared at him for a few seconds, stood from the floor and snapped her fingers.

The boy stirred as one of his onyx eyes opened. He sat up and looked around at his surroundings, "Where?"

"Dr. Howard's. Heero carried you when we saw that you were in a deep slumber." She took the katana off of her back and placed it against the wall, "I kept it safe."

"Thank you." WuFei stood from the couch, picked up his weapon and then he and Mura entered the small kitchen.

Heero turned his head to see his two friends enter the room. He nodded to them and then turned his attention back to the old man, "Is there anything you can give or lend us to help us on the way to the Cave of Oblivion?"

"Hm..." he put his left hand to his chin and looked to be in deep thought. "Perhaps I do. This is my prize possession and to ensure that it remains in one piece I'll be going with you."

Trowa arched his eyebrow slightly, "And what is it that we'd be taking?"

"Follow me." He turned on his heals and lead them to the lower floor of the cabin. It was a dark and drafty underground passageway that was only lit by a few torches. After a couple minutes of walking they reached a well-lit area. The four boys and one girl gasped as they stared at the thing before. "This is the airship Peacemillion. This was the very first airship to ever appear on this planet. Unfortunately now Romefeller has the blue prints for the exact same thing, of course I am sure that they tampered with it just a bit."

"Are you positive that this will get us to the cave?" the paladin questioned.

"Absolutely. Now lets get going."

Everyone agreed and piled on board. The blond mage watched as the old scientist flipped some switches. He stepped forward and looked over the edge, "How are we supposed to take off?"

"Like this of course." He pulled down a red lever that stood next to him. Within just seconds the rocks above came crashing down and sunlight came through. The base of the ship shook as it was being lifted into the air.

Once out of the ground and soaring high through the bright blue sky, Quatre leaned over the side again and smiled, "This is SO cool!"

"Quatre, be careful. I don't want you to fall over the edge." The lancer announced with a small hint of fear in his voice.

"I'll be all right, really." He glanced back and flashed his koibito a reassuring smile.

"Mura," the summoner said as he looked right into the girl's bright blue eyes, "when we reach the cave I want you to stay here with Howard. I want to protect you as much as possible. When we met you said you had no memory and yesterday when we had first entered the forest you had recovered one of many lost memories. Regardless of how bad they may seem, I want you to live to see everything through."

"But WuFei..."

"I know what you are going to say and don't worry about me. I'd gladly die for you." He blinked as he saw something glisten around her neck, "What's that?"

"I've been wearing this all along, I'm surprised you hadn't noticed." She pulled out the pendant and held the feathered shape ruby in her gentle hands, "This is one of the only things I have from my childhood, that much I know..."

"Let's just leave it at that. I'm sure whoever gave that to you would like to see you again. So promise me you'll stay put."

"I swear on my love for you..." the purple-haired female took one step forward and brushed her lips against that of the summoner's.

"Everyone, listen up!" Heero shouted as he stood at the head of the airship, "We are now landing in front of the Cave of Oblivion. I'm sure this place lives up to its name so please be on your full alert." He turned to the scientist, "If it looks like we are not coming back, lift off and get yourself and Mura out of here."

"I will."

"Then lets move out." Heero waited for the other boys reply and then they walked off of the ship and into the unknown.

Mura ran over to the side and gazed down as her friends started to walk away, "Good luck to you all..."

The four boys walked quietly as they made their way through the cave. Heero stopped in his tracks, "This doesn't seem right."

"What doesn't?" the prince asked.

"The cave. Wouldn't you think we'd be attacked or something?"

"WuFei!!!!!!"

The summoner turned and saw Mura running towards them, "What are you doing in here?! Didn't I tell you to stay with Howard?"

She stopped in her tracks somewhat breathless, "Monsters came onto the ship. Howard told me to run..."

"Is he okay?" Trowa questioned.

"I'm not sure, I just ran like he told me to."

The white knight nodded, "Just stay close to us. That damn thing has to be around here somewhere..."

"That it is, but you won't touch him." Said a low female voice.

"Trowa... I'm scared." Quatre said as he grabbed onto his koi's arm.

"Too late to be saying that now."

The woman came into view. She had long silver hair that went to her knees and dark violet eyes. She wore a very light blue robe that had slits on the sides so that they were revealing her thighs and she had a golden anklet on her left ankle. "I am Guardina, protector of the black mage. What do you hope to achieve by gaining the black mage?"

The paladin stepped up and glared at the woman that was in their way, "We want to achieve peace."

"And how do you plan to do that?"

"I..." he thought about it. Then looked at the others who seemed to be just as baffled, "I don't know. Be we WILL think of a way."

"That's not good enough. If you are not able to answer that question here and now you have no right to the power. Rest in peace unworthy warriors..."

"Mura, stay behind us." Quatre commanded as he got in his fighting stance.

Trowa stood next to him with lance out and ready, Heero was next with his crossbow in his hands and last was WuFei who had his sword drawn and was ready to fight.

Guardina raised her right hand in the air forming small blocks of ice in her palm, "Shimmering Ice." She brought her arm down and fired the shards at the four fighters. The blades of cold imbedded themselves into the ground and then frost shot straight up casing their feet in ice.

Heero fired a fire elemental arrow. His aim was perfect, but to everyone's disappointment it had no effect. The violet-eyed woman ran up to the paladin and placed her hands around his neck. Her grip got tighter and tighter making it impossible for the boy to breathe. She placed a small kiss on the boy's cheek. With one quick movement she jumped back and snapped her fingers. The ice around the brown haired boy's feet shattered and then he fell to the ground.

Quatre clasped his hands in front of his chest and shut his eyes, "Goddess Prayer!" A small feather came floating down and landed on Heero's body. A white flash came from the small object and once the light was gone the paladin was back on one knee.

Trowa held his spear in front of him seeing that there was nothing he could do at the time. The women raised her hand and sent out some strange colored rays. WuFei brought up his hand with the ring, "Hono, come forth!" the ring flashed but nothing came out.

Guardina's eyes started to glow as lightning, fire and ice could be seen forming in her hands. She waited and when all three elements were mixed into a large energy ball she fired it forward.

"Absorb!"

"What the-?!"

Mura stood behind the four boys with a sword in her hands. She stepped in front of her companions glaring at the woman before her, "Victory will be ours." She shut her eyes, two bat wings sprouted from her back and encased her body and within a few seconds the wings were gone and she stood there in her black armor. She brought her sword up in front of her and had the energy from the last blast encircle the blade. Without a second thought she ran forward and stabbed Guardina right through the mid-section.

The woman fell to the ground and then vanished. Something shattered ahead of them. They ran to the center of the cave and there before them stood a boy with violet eyes and chestnut hair that was pulled back into a braid and he wore a black robe.

Heero approached cautiously and placed his right hand on the boy's cheek, "Duo..." he whispered.

The boy known as Duo nodded and embraced the white knight. The paladin immediately returned the hug as he continued to whisper, "I can't believe it. After all this time I finally found you again. But if you're here..." he pulled away and looked into the boy's violet pools, "You're the one causing the war."

Duo looked at him in confusion and then shrugged. Heero let a small smile appear on his face, "I won't let anything happen to you, I promise. Let's just get back to the ship." He turned with Duo's hand in his.

"Hold it, all of you."

"Mura, what are you doing?" The summoner questioned.

She had her sword raised and pointed at them, "You are all in my captivity. You have seen first hand of what I am capable of, so I wouldn't try anything stupid. If you want to live do exactly what I say. Get back on Peacemillion, once there you better all sit VERY still."

Everyone agreed silently. Keeping very close one another they walked out of the darkened cave and onto the ship. Mura walked over to the fallen man and snapped her fingers. Howard awoke and looked at the girl with curiosity, "What's going on?"

"Take off."

"What?"

"I said take off. And you'll be taking us to the Romefeller Empire..." she turned her back to the old man once the ship hand taken off. She leaned over the side and let out a low sigh. I wish that this day would never happen. True my brother is alive, but now I think Heero remembers me as well. Chi, what are you planing to do with them once we arrive? Are you going to strip them of their lives and happiness? What does your grandfather want with Duo? I have given up everything for these answers, but I swear if anything happens to them... Your blood on my blade is the only answer I will need then.
