A Gundam Wing Ghost Story II
5. Malicious Magic
***************************************************************** ***************
Some time had been passed since the two Winners had left the villa. After pondering for a whole while Duo had fallen asleep since it really had been a long night and he had been tired to death.
Everything could have been so peaceful and fine if Trowa wouldn't have burst in very sudden and with a male corpse in his arms. At first the braided boy didn't notice anything but when the young monk called him excitedly he slowly became awake.
"Howard-sama, Howard-sama, this place is really haunted! There is a ghost here." He shouted.
"What's up...?" Duo murmured sleepily, but awoke when realized what kind of thing Trowa was holding in his arms.
"What's that?" the braided boy asked carefully although he had an idea what it could be.
He got up quickly and made room, so that Trowa could put down the dead body.
"A corpse I've found in the forest. Probably the victim of a ghost!"
"Why is it so mutilated?"
"It's because the ghost is so brutal!"
Suddenly Trowa sniffed again. He could smell that the ghost was getting nearer again.
"He's coming. I can feel it."
"Really? Are you sure?"
Trowa just nodded and Duo felt panic and fear rose rise up into him. Who knew how this ghost did look like and how much dangerous he was? Instinctively the braided looked for a suitable hiding place but couldn't find anything right at the moment.
"And what are we doing now? Maybe you can do something with your magic!" Duo suggested.
"Hmmm, you're right! And I already know what I could do!"
He took red paint out of his pocket and drew a sign onto Duo's palm. This one looked at it with curiosity.
"And what can I do with it?" he wanted to know.
"That's simple. You only have to stand like I do and as soon as you see the ghost you shout: STOP!"
Trowa stretched out his right arm, pushing his hand slightly backwards. Duo watched him and began to imitate Trowa's movements.
"I see! So I stretch out my arm and then I simply say: STOP!" he yelled.
Immediately Trowa got the chance feel the effects of his own spell, because unfortunately Duo had stretched out his hand towards the monk during this first test and this one frozen because of that. The poor monk was standing now really still, confusing Duo.
Carefully the braided boy waved his hands back and forth right before Trowa's face, searching for any signs of life.
"HEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOO, CAAAAAAAAN YOUUUUUUU HEEEEEEEAAAAAAR ME? Damn it, just say something! How can I dissolve this damn magic?" he shouted and shook the monk by his shoulders.
But Trowa didn't move. And then Duo slowly began to despair. What should he do without the monk's help? And when this one really was right, the ghost would appear soon. And Duo couldn't let him stand here. That was impossible.
The aforementioned ghost was already getting nearer to the old villa, growling dull. But until now only a shadow of him could be seen. Would he get Trowa and Duo into his claws?
*
Meanwhile Duo had other troubles and almost forgotten about the ghost. He was still thinking about what to do with the frozen Trowa.
"Great, somehow I have to get in touch with him. But how do I do it? Let me think...What could I do?......Okay, that could work. Okay, I think I have an idea and we do it so: I say something to you and if it's right you move your eye up and down! Do you understand?" Duo asked after a while of thinking.
The young monk moved his visible eye up and down as a sign of understanding.
"GOOOOOOOD. I'll see we understand each other. Let's go on: If I say something wrong you move your eye from the left to the right and back!" the braided boy said again.
Trowa did like Duo had said. But then he saw something that Duo didn't recognise, and that was the ghost, who looked really scary. He was a gigantic, mummy-like monster with red glowing eyes and razor sharp teeth in his mouth, from which steam came out, hissing. The remains of clothing hung at his upper body and the sharp claws of his hands inspired little confidence.
And this monster was now coming towards their direction and Duo still didn't get anything. Trowa moved his eyes like mad to call Duo's attention to the threatened danger, but was confusing the braided boy all the more.
"Hey, not like that. I don't know what you're trying to say to me. We really haven't the time for any jokes. The ghost could appear any moment, so just tell me how to loosen your magic! Okay?" Duo asked, still despairing.
Trowa on the other was in the same situation. Why didn't this stupid boy realize the danger they were in? Was it so difficult to understand that? He rolled his eyes some more, but it was useless. Duo still didn't understand what the monk tried to say to him.
"What do you want to say? I don't understand."
Meanwhile the monster-like ghost had come closer up to a few centimetres. His steaming breath hissed around Duo's ear, but this one didn't realize anything yet.
"Now say something! Or does it mean I shall hit you or something similar?"
Since Trowa didn't answer Duo took his silence as a *yes*.
"Please forgive me but I have to do it!"
With these words he lifted his arm, ready to hit the young warrior monk. But when his arm shot backwards, it hit something hard and a dumb growl sounded. Immediately Duo stopped and gulped heavily. He suddenly had a really strange feeling. Carefully he knocked with his arm at the hard something right behind him and then turned round. His eyes widened when he finally realized, who had growled a few moments ago.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
With a piercing scream he moved away from the spot where he had been standing a moment ago and left Trowa behind. This one, unable to move, looked with fear at the monster that was coming straight up to him.
But fortunately Duo pulled him away just in time.
"Come on, we have to go now!" the braided boy shouted and carried the frozen monk away.
Their escape from the monster ghost led both young men through several corridors of the villa, the ghost right on their heels. Finally Duo couldn't carry Trowa anymore and let him crash into an old and rotten ladder. But the giant wasn't tired yet and was coming nearer again. Duo pulled himself together and grabbed Trowa's legs, dragging him along across the dirty floor.
"Sorry, but I can't carry you anymore. You're too heavy for me!" Duo gasped.
They reached the room with the coffins shortly after. Unfortunately Duo was too fast for a moment and so Trowa's head crashed against one of the coffins (x_X: Ouch!).
"Damn it, we're too slow together. I'll hide you, so that he's not going to find you!"
And it went on. This time Duo wanted to climb up a ladder, but this try turned out to be a very difficult procedure. But finally Duo succeeded and stopped for breath.
"I hope he doesn't find us here. And now tell me how I can loosen this damn spell!"
Duo shook Trowa roughly at his shoulders. And again Trowa didn't answer. When Duo could hear the ghost coming nearer and ravaging everything beneath them, he turned to the monk.
"You stay here, because it's safer." He said.
Then he took the motionless Trowa and heaved him aside. But he shouldn't have done that, because the wood there was very rotten and creaked suspiciously. And one second later the timberwork crashed apart and Trowa slid down, falling right before the ghost's feet.
Duo noticed the mess.
"Hey you were supposed to stay hidden. Why do go down there? It's too dangerous." He shouted.
It wasn't as if Trowa had done it voluntary. The young monk had only one wish - to survive the night alive and not to end as ghost food. But at this moment the monster turned round to him and Trowa began to sweat blood and water in the truest sense of the word, when he saw the gigantic claws of the ghost coming up to him.
This one would have gotten him, if Duo hadn't thrown a piece of wood after the ghost. Immediately the ghost turned towards the direction of the braided boy, who was throwing more pieces of wood. Growling and in a foul mood the monster began to go for Duo.
But this one continued throwing things. The giant on the other hand walked on persistently and destroyed the parapet of the balcony, on which Duo was standing. The braided boy fell back, but didn't find another way to escape. Now he knew that he was in a fix.
The ghost got nearer and nearer. When Duo tried to flee again, he stumbled and crashed through rotten beams, falling down. Just barely the braided scholar escaped from a newly attack of the monster, freeing himself out of his awkward situation. As soon as he was free, the monster started again to chase him.
But somehow Duo wasn't lucky. For the second time within a few minutes he stumbled and fell down to the floor. And of course the ghost tried to take this chance to catch his victim and brought his claws close to Duo's throat. This one's gaze happened to fell on his palm, where the magical sign was, and out of pure despair, with his hand raised towards the monster, Duo screamed:
"STOOOOP!"
Immediately the ghost froze, before his claws could grab Duo. The braided boy took a deep breath, staring at the huge claws, which had almost caught him. He really was astonished that the sign seemed to work at last. Quickly Duo rushed to Trowa and lifted him up.
"Gods, I really thought that this would be the end! But how do we loose the whole mess now?" he asked the motionless monk, who didn't answer (of course).
Duo looked at the sign again and suddenly the scales fell from his eyes. He pointed at the symbol.
"It has something to do with this sign, hasn't it?" he asked hopefully (-_- He comprehends very......quickly. *sweatdrop*).
Trowa moved his eyes up and down to show Duo that he was on the right way. Maybe that boy wasn't as dull of comprehension as Trowa had expected. But Duo was now thinking about how to continue. Lost in thoughts, he waved the index finger of his right hand to and fro. Trowa observed him with his eagle eyes, hoping that the braided boy would find the right solution.
The latter one also got the right attempts, when he turned his finger in the direction of someone and murmured:
"Stop!"
But unfortunately it was the monster ghost, who was at the other end of the finger and who was now pulled out of his rigidity. But Duo didn't notice it and Trowa almost got a nervous breakdown when he realized what Duo had done this time. How could anyone be so naïve? Slowly he began to regret that he had drawn the sign on Duo's palm. Until now it had only caused lots of trouble.
Meanwhile Duo left his spot and Trowa saw the ghost coming closer. Closer and closer and closer and closer. The giant stretched out his mummified arms, ready to tear Trowa apart. Fortunately the braided boy noticed it and froze the monster again. Then he squeezed between the monk and the giant and asked more or less desperate:
"I don't understand why this magic works so long at you and so short at him? So what do I have to do now?"
When he got no answer, Duo pointed his finger on the ghost and unintentionally freed him out of his frozen status. The braided scholar noticed the mess and let out a shrill scream. The whole situation was slowly getting on his nerves.
"Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhh! Does this never end? Stop!"
The giant ghost froze. Duo looked questioningly at the monk, but knew that he wouldn't get an answer and so neither of them dared to move, especially Duo who was afraid to do something wrong again. Countless moments passed by and it was so silent that one could hear the proverbial needle falling. Both young men stayed in their positions and it seemed like an eternity.
And then Duo's face was drooled with the slimy, disgusting spittle of the ghost. Finally, after a time without end and lots of sweat, the sign on Duo's palm began to blur and then to disappear. Trowa could feel that the magic lost its effect. First he could move his finger a little bit and moments later his whole hand. But if it happened to him, then also to the ghost and that could be dangerous.
Now it was only a matter of the right timing or he and the scholar would be dead soon. And then it was ready. Like a flash Trowa grabbed both jawbones of the giant and hold them tight so that Duo could leave the dangerous spot. Then he grabbed Duo.
"Wind, fire, thunder, lightning! Open!" he shouted and blasted a whole through the wall and flew with Duo outside.
Finally they ended up in the forest, the ghost on their heels. Trowa pushed Duo aside and got ready for the fight.
"Out of my way! This is my fight!"
Duo hid himself behind a tree, while the monster destroyed the remaining wall of the villa and Trowa concentrated his powers.
Then he quickly shouted some magic words and as a result a big rectangular piece of the wall came undone and flew in the direction of the giant monster ghost, where it was smashed. But the ghost didn't get one single scratch and the young monk had to think about another way. He let other pieces follow, but the giant smashed them as if they were paper.
Then Trowa followed another strategy. He flung several ban papers at the ghost, which were sticking to his chest.
"GO AWAY, YOU MONSTER!" the young monk shouted and right away the amulets exploded.
But the monster survived then unharmed. Trowa looked shocked at the ghost. It seemed as if no ban papers, no spells, absolutely nothing could stop him. What should he do now? Trowa didn't know another way out. He only had his sword now. Maybe he could...The young monk's eyes narrowed and he made some somersaults backwards.
Then he drew his sword, attacking the ghost, and split him into two halves. The upper half held on to the tree, under which they were fighting, while the lower half was running away. Trowa quickly burnt a ban paper and flung the fire up to the lower half the ghost, which exploded right away. But unfortunately the upper half was flung away and disappeared into a hole.
"Wind, fire, thunder, lightning!"
And immediately the monk shot fireballs after it and blasted the little cavern. But the upper body half simply moved on beneath the earth, until he was out of sight.
"Damn it, he escaped!" Trowa cursed. "I'll follow him! You stay here. Okay?"
"O...Okay. Be careful!" Duo said.
"Well, then INTO THE EARTH!"
With one leap Trowa disappeared below the earth, to chase the monster ghost. Duo stayed behind...again. Since he still was tired and exhausted, the braided boy decided to get some sleep yet. He went back to the villa and looked for a comfortable bed for the night.
*
Hours passed by, but Trowa couldn't find the remains of the giant. He also was tired from running beneath the earth, he slept there. So it wasn't surprising that it was already broad daylight, when he reappeared on the surface.
Yawning Trowa stretched his upper body.
"Oi, it's getting light already."
Just then he heard the sound of horses coming nearer and when the young monk looked around, he saw several soldiers on horses directly coming up to him.
Trowa simply froze the horses so that the soldiers were flung out of their saddles. Except there was another problem for him. It was a rider who was coming up to him, but whose horse Trowa also froze. But then the rider attacked the young monk with a lance-like weapon, at whose end a long, sharp, scimitar-like blade was.
Would Trowa survive this attack?
