A Gundam Wing Ghost Story I
8. The Final Battle in Hell *************************************************************************** *****
The eyes of Duo and Wufei were wide as they stared at the heavily armed soldier, who was riding towards them. At the last moment the Chinese grabbed the braided boy and flew away with him, before the soldier reached them.
Heero meanwhile was involved in several fights, which more and more were getting fiercer. And slowly his power and his strength abandoned him. The Japanese already was breathing heavily. He knew that he couldn't fight like this any longer and only an escape was his only chance, because the ghost soldiers rushed in his direction.
At this moment someone called him from above. Heero looked up and saw Duo flying with the Chinese boy right over him.
"Here's your sword!" the braided boy shouted and threw it to Heero.
The swordsman caught it easily and started to fight with the ghosts again, getting new strength. While he killed several soldiers, Duo and Wufei landed and ran further on foot. Heero followed them some minutes later. But still it wasn't over since the warrior, who had chased Wufei and Duo a little while ago, had appeared again.
"Just go further, I'll come later!" the Japanese said and stopped.
The others nodded and after Wufei had tightened his around Duo's waist, they raised up in the air again. In the meantime Heero got a bow and arrows, bent it like a flash and aimed it at the soldier, who was suddenly vanished.
"Damn it, where is he?" he cursed and looked around.
But the soldier stayed disappeared as if the ground had swallowed him.
*
Meanwhile Duo and Wufei were on her way to the exit, when suddenly a gigantic wall of rocks appeared through the thick fog. Wufei still could slow down in time, but nevertheless they crashed against the hard rock.
And as if that wasn't enough, thousands of human arms appeared out of lots of openings and tugged at them. Some of them had grabbed Duo's braid and were now pulling painfully at it.
"Please help me, Wufei!" he cried out because of the horrible pain.
The Chinese would have liked to help Duo, but he was too occupied to free himself. Finally he managed to do it. Then he grabbed Duo by his clothes and pulled him down to the ground. Both were breathing heavily and slightly bleeding because of some scratches they had received.
*
Heero was still trying to find the mysterious soldier, who suddenly had vanished moments ago. Then he felt his aura right behind him, but when he quickly turned round, the warrior was gone again, just to attack the Japanese from behind with one of axes.
Unfortunately Heero noticed it too late and so the ghost soldier could successfully ram his weapon into Heero's left shoulder. Immediately the swordsman cried out, as an incredible pain shot through his arm and he wasn't able to hold his bow any longer.
Nevertheless the Japanese pulled himself together and rushed towards the soldier. His sword blade hit the one of the soldier and blue lightning bolts flashed around them, when they fought with each other. Finally the soldier disappeared again, to start a new attack out of the ambush.
But first Heero pulled out the axe out of his shoulder, which was bleeding badly. Then he warded the new attack of the ghost off, who attacked him once more. But this time Heero had a plan how to mark the soldier so that he could see him. When the ghost warrior flung him to the ground, he quickly threw on of his ban papers after him, which was attached now to the soldier.
The ghost disappeared again but this time Heero could see his amulet and so his target. Grinning he took his bow and arrows and aimed them at the paper.
"Omae o Korosu!" were his last words, before Heero shot.
And this time he hit his target. For a short moment the ghost soldier appeared and then exploded with a loud and piercing scream. Satisfied Heero watched the explosion. But then he felt dizzy for a moment because of the blood loss and stumbled back, holding his injured shoulder.
"Oi, are you alright?" a well known voice shouted.
Heero turned his head and saw Duo and Wufei standing right behind him.
"What are you two still doing here? You were supposed to disappear yet!" he shouted.
"We cannot. The Black Princess has blocked up the exit!" Wufei replied.
Then a diabolic laugh rang out, which came from Relena.
"You'll never leave my empire again." she said.
"Damn you!" the Japanese cursed, thinking about what to do next.
"What are we doing now?" Duo wanted to know.
"Give me an arrow and help me!" the Japanese swordsman spoke.
The braided boy did, what the swordsman had said. Heero bent his bow, even though under great pain, and Duo laid the arrow on it. Together they managed it to shot the arrow, but without being successful. The female demon caught the arrow without any effort.
"Weak! I had expected more from you since you succeeded to ban my brother! But I guess now you only were lucky." She mocked.
"Damn, she's really strong!" Duo cursed.
Suddenly fog came up in front of the throne and a strong suction arose, which pulled Heero and Duo irretrievably into the direction of the throne. The latter one lost this way the urn he was carrying the whole time and Wufei knew, that he had to do something or Duo and the Japanese would be killed.
He lengthened his sleeves and the ends of it wrapped around the waists of both boys.
"Hold on or she will get your souls!" the Chinese shouted.
But then the provisional rope ripped. First Heero's and following Duo's and both men were pulled into the throne's direction again. On their way Heero managed to get hold at a spear and when he saw Duo flying towards him, the swordsman briefly rammed the weapon into his foot, ignoring the pain, and caught Duo.
Wufei couldn't see this anymore, what the demoness did to his friends. He only had one possibility to save them and he would do it. For Duo.
Determined to everything he knelt before Relena's throne.
"Please leave my friends alone! I'll do everything, what you want me to do! But spare their life!" the Chinese begged.
"Everything?" Relena sounded interested.
Wufei nodded, not looking at the princess, his head turned to the side.
"Fine, then break your urn and be my prince at my side, as it was supposed to be!" the princess smirked.
With a heavy heart Wufei took his urn, ready to break it. Duo saw, what the Chinese planned and knew, that he couldn't allow that.
"No, please don't do it, Wufei!" he shouted.
This one hesitated. Did he do the right thing?
"Okay, just concentrate all your strength!" Heero shouted to the braided boy and then began to murmur to himself.
Wufei had no other choice. Slowly he lifted his arms.
"I'm sorry, Duo!" he whispered.
"Do it!" Relena said with doom in her voice and a smirk on her face.
"No, don't do it!" Duo screamed again.
He didn't want to lose Wufei again. And his fear was so strong that it gave him the strength to free his spirit from his human body, exactly like Heero's. Both spirits flew towards the throne, because now they were able to fight the demon. Wufei saw and immediately decided to help them. He grabbed Heero's sword and flew after them.
He reached the throne shortly before his friends and thrust the blade into the female demon's forehead, though the blade handle burned his hands badly. The princess screamed aloud and angrily. But she wasn't dead, but really furious now. Her robes opened and Wufei's eyes grew wide. Under the princess' robes were countless human heads, which shot out and started to bite the Chinese, who began to scream.
"Gods, Wufei!" Duo shouted.
Finally the Chinese couldn't hold the sword anymore and was flung back onto the ground, where he stayed with burned hands. But Duo and Wufei on the other hand became other problems. At once several slimy tentacles shot out of the empty robe, which snaked around the ghostly bodies of Duo and Heero and started to strangle them.
"You'll regret that. I'll kill you. No one angers me without feeling the consequences." The demoness screamed furiously.
She hardly had said it, when the tentacles contracted and both young men started to scream. Heero fell to the ground, because he could feel the breaking of his ribs. Slowly he started to lose consciousness. Duo wasn't better. The green slimy things cut off his air and two of them began slide into his clothing and to tear off it (^^O No, it's not *THAT*, what you think, Hentais.).
Wufei watched it with horror and tried to do something against it.
"Please spare his life!" he begged.
But the female demon didn't listen to him, although it would have been better for her. Then suddenly countless pages of a book flew out of the braided boy's clothes and towards Relena.
"What's that? Perhaps a sutra?" she asked, suddenly very frightened.
Then the pages reached the princess and started to stick at her whole body and to cause her an indescribable pain. The female demon screamed aloud and let go off her death grip. Heero and Duo fell to the ground. When Duo saw that the swordsman was too injured to do something, he knew he had to do something, since Wufei also hurt.
The braided scholar used, what little strength he still had, to ram the Japanese's sword deeply into the princess' forehead. She let out a loud piercing and demoniacal scream before her eyes grew very wide and she was destroyed in a spectacularly explosion.
Duo and also Wufei were flung away, while the remains of Relena disappeared in a black tornado. Then it became silent. When the braided boy regained his consciousness, he noticed that he was in his body again. Then he looked for the others. Wufei was lying several meters beside him, his eyes closed. And Heero had passed out because of his blood loss.
Slowly Duo crawled over to the Chinese. He reached and shook Wufei gently, after taking him in his arms.
"Wufei, are you alright?" Duo asked softly.
The Chinese stirred a little and then opened his onyx eyes.
"Duo...I guess the exit is open now. Can you take him outside before it's too late?" Wufei asked with a glance at the unconscious swordsman.
Duo hesitated for a moment, then smiled and nodded.
"I'm here again in a moment. Just wait for me!" he said and gave Wufei a small kiss on his forehead.
Then he rushed to the Japanese and pulled him back through the way out into the tavern, where Heero began to open his eyes.
"What...?" he asked confused, then hissed and wrapped his arm around his injured body, when the pain came back.
"We're back in the tavern!" Duo answered and looked around.
Yep, they definitively were back, where they had started their rescue. But one thing disturbed him suddenly and that were the sun rays, which shone though the closed window.
"Shit, it already dawns and Wufei isn't here yet." Duo cursed.
"You have to get him!" Heero said weakly.
The braided boy nodded and went back to get Wufei. After some moments he returned, carrying the Chinese boy in his arms. Some of Relena's remaining entourage tried to grab Wufei by his clothing. Heero saw it and somehow he managed to open the shutters. As soon as the ghost arms touched the light, they shrunk from it and disappeared back through the gate.
But unfortunately the sun also touched the Chinese and with a scream he fled back into the shadow of the room.
"Is everything alright, Wufei?" the braided boy asked worried.
"He must back into his urn or else he evaporates and his rebirth is endangered." Heero spoke.
Duo made a sad face, but he knew that the Japanese was right. As the shutters threatened to fall down, the braided boy was standing right before the window and held them. This time he couldn't prevent his tears from falling. Duo knew that he would see Wufei never again, once the Chinese would have gotten back into his urn.
"Wufei, please, you have to get back into your urn." He spoke quietly.
The Chinese looked at Duo and noticed the tears falling down his cheeks. Then he dragged himself to the small container and there he fell to the ground again.
"I'm sorry, Duo, but I can't stay any longer. But the sun rises and I really have to go now." He said sadly.
"I know." Duo sobbed.
Wufei smiled weakly and looked at Duo or rather his back one last time.
"Farewell Duo! I'll never forget you and what you've done for me. Thanks for everything. I...I love you and I always will! Good-bye!" the Chinese finally said.
These words only made Duo cry harder. And after a whole moment of silence Heero finally said:
"He's gone! You can turn around now!"
Duo turned round and he and Heero really were the only ones in the room. Sadly he knelt next to the lonesome urn and took it carefully in his hand. Now he was alone again.
"Don't worry, Wufei! I'll bring you home and bury you like I have promised......I love you too. Always..." The braided boy continued to cry.
*
One day later...
Two young men were in front of the new grave of Chang Wufei. While Heero was standing, his whole upper body bandaged and his left arm in a sling, Duo knelt onto the floor and prayed. On the grave itself several amulets and joss sticks were burning.
When he had said a final prayer Duo got up, the painting, which he had gotten from Wufei, in his hand.
"Do you think that he is already reborn?" Duo asked the swordsman.
"I don't know. But in these times it's better to be ghost than a human." Heero replied.
Duo firstly looked at him aghast and then laughed.
"Oh, they'll certainly become a better one!" he grinned.
//Optimist!// the Japanese thought and had to smile.
Then they got onto their horses.
"Look, there is a rainbow. Isn't he beautiful?" Duo shouted and pointed at the wonderful bow.
//No matter where you are now, Wufei, I'm sure, one day we'll see us again. One day...//
With these thoughts both young men rode off, not knowing, which adventures were still waiting for them...**
Wufei closed his book and looked up. Everyone was quiet and stared at him.
"That was really great!!!" Duo finally said.
The others only nodded agreeing. Wufei sighed and looked at the wall clock. It already was one o'clock in the night.
"I'll tell Part two tomorrow. Tonight it's too late. I hope you don't mind!" the Chinese said.
"There is really a sequel?" Duo asked unbelieving.
The Chinese boy nodded.
"Cool! I hardly can wait for it!" the braided boy bounced and began to grin.
Then he got up like the others and stretched his whole body. Three hours without moving hadn't been that good for it. And he really was tired now. Soon all the Gundam pilots were in their rooms and went to bed.
*
Later the night Wufei suddenly woke up, sensing someone in his room. When he was more awake, the Chinese saw Duo standing at the door, holding his pillow and his blanket.
"What do you want, Maxwell? I want to sleep!" Wufei yawned.
"Sorry to bother you! But can I sleep with you tonight? Heero, Q and Tro are making such loud noises that I can't sleep!" the braided boy asked carefully.
Wufei stared puzzled at the braided. Duo wanted to sleep in his room? Immediately his heart made a small jump and the Chinese didn't know why. Finally he gave in.
"Okay, you can sleep onto the floor if you don't mind!" he said.
"Thanks, Wu-man!" the braided American answered and started to make his sleeping accommodation.
"Night, Wu!" he replied, when he was ready.
"Good Night!" Wufei answered, his heart still beating fast at the thought of Duo next to him.
But soon he drifted to sleep, dreaming about a certain braided boy.

So, this is the end of Part 1 and I wanted to thank all the lovely people, who gave me their feedback.
