The Shinigami rewrites - DragonLance Chronicles.
Gundam Wing isn't mine. DragonLance isn't mine. Nothing is mine, not even my hair colour.
I thought that with all the descriptions of Duo, it would be funny to see Heero interact with a kender. Then I thought of this. Yaoi, X-over, AU. Duo as a kender... scary. Be afraid. Be very, very afraid.
/thoughts/
Part 1: meeting new friends
Heero carefully extricated himself from the wreckage of his shuttle. /This is not good. Where am I?/ He looked around. /Uncharted planet. Duo would laugh./
FLASH
"...The uncharted planet is a typical sci-fi cliche..."
FLASH
He sighed softly, then turned South-East, away from the lake, following the path.
After a while, he came across a young boy, he was only about four feet tall. With long hair, a long sort of slingshot, and a wide grin. /He looks like Duo a bit./ The boy grinned up at him.
"Hi! Are you lost?"
FLASH
"...are you lost?"
"I've been lost all my life."
FLASH
"I think so. Where am I?" The boy grinned wider.
"You're just outside Solace. Was there somewhere you needed to be?"
"I'm not from around here. What planet is this?" Now the boy was very enthusiastic.
"Planet? Wow! Are you an alien? My friends don't believe in aliens, but they'd have to exist right? Just to make life interesting.... Hey, I don't even know your name yet, do I?"
"Hn." The boy tilted his head curiously.
"You don't talk much do you? Well My name is Tasslehoff Burrfoot, What's yours?"
FLASH
"...Don't you ever talk?"
FLASH
"What are you?" The boy frowned slightly.
"I'm a kender of course. Don't you have kender where you are? Anyway, you didn't answer me!"
"Heero Yuy." The boy grinned again as Heero added, "No we don't have kender. I have heard of them, though."
"how'd you hear of kender if you don't have any?"
"I have a friend who knows about kender."
"Wow, what's his name?" The kender looked up then. "No time, come on." The diminutive figure dragged Heero through the bushes, as two figures came down the path. Now that Heero had some idea of where he was, he could name the races of the two figures. /Hn, an elf. Or rather, a half-elf, judging by the beard. And a dwarf./
FLASH
"... rare paring that only occurs in a fantasy novel. The author always makes a point of saying it wouldn't normally occur. The most common is the elf and dwarf pairing. Even Papa Tolkien used it!"
FLASH
The two neared where Heero and Tasslehoff were hiding.
"Who goes there?" The half-elf called out. Heero jumped slightly as the kender swung his strange staff to create a whirring noise. Then he raised his voice in a screaming whine.
"Elven wanderer, turn from your course and leave the dwarf behind. We are the spirits of those poor souls Flint Fireforge left on the bar-room floor. Did we die in combat?" Heero felt the hair on the back of his neck lift slightly when the kender changed key. "NO! We died of shame, cursed by the ghost of the grape for not being able to outdrink a hill dwarf." Heero jumped as the elf started to laugh. He saw out of the corner of his eye, Tasslehoff grinning like mad. "Damn the eyes of the elves! And damn the beards of the dwarves!" The dwarf groaned.
"Wouldn't you know it? Tasslehoff Burrfoot!" Tasslehoff emerged from the bushes, once more dragging Heero behind him.
"Flint!" The kender cried out as he flung himself at the dwarf. Then he turned to the elf. "Who's this? Tanis! I didn't recognise you with a beard!" The elf grinned waving the kender off as he tried to hug the much taller elf.
"No thanks, I want to keep my money pouch." Heero couldn't help a smile as the dwarf tackled the kender.
He stopped paying attention to the figures with him. Something smelt off. He didn't recognise the odour, but thought he should be on guard. Thinking quickly, he pulled a switchblade from his pants. /Hang on, this is Duo's blade. How did I get it? Oh hang on, he wore these pants before me. I only got them when he complained about the spandex. Ugh, Heero no baka, concentrate. Too late./ He flicked the blade out, just as Tanis reacted to the sound of a jingle behind them.
------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------
"Hey Wu-chan, got a lock on where Heero's shuttle crashed?"
"Not yet Maxwell. We're still looking for a signal... wait, got it."
"Where, where, where?"
"just outside of known space. We can set up a recovery mission soon."
"I'm in."
"I never doubted that Maxwell. Now get out of my way so I can find some coordinates."
"OK, Wu-man!"
"Maxwell, don't call me.... Never mind." Wufei sighed.
Duo sighed, looking in the mirror. Slowly he pulled his hair from the tops of his ears. Of the other pilots, only Heero had seen his ears properly. He sighed, as he examined one very pointy ear. /Half kender, half elf. What a joke hey? Either way I have pointy ears. But I'll get by, I just need to find Heero./ Lowering his hair over his ears again, Duo walked out of the bathroom.
FLASH
"Kender are the childlike thieves of Krynn." Duo grinned. "But don't call them thieves. Mega insult. Call a kender a thief, and you deserve what you get.
FLASH
--------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------
Heero glanced at the disgusting figure as it trotted away on it's ridiculous looking pony.
"Goblins! In Solace! This new Theocrat has much to answer for!" Flint spat. Heero stopped listening. He focused on his enemies. Then one of the goblins attacked. He didn't move as the creature ran at him, he saw Tanis out the peripherals of his vision, standing over a corpse. Heero just flicked the blade in his hand, slitting the goblin's throat. Then Tasslehoff's voice rang out.
"These scum will fight for anyone, Tanis. Throw them some dog meat once in a while and they're yours forev-"
"Dog Meat! How about kender meat, you little squeaker!" Heero once again blocked out all outside noise. They left in relative silence. Then Tas grabbed his arm again.
"By the way, Tanis, Flint, this is Heero Yuy. I met him just away from Crystalmir Lake." The half elf looked askance at Heero, then remembered that he had fought alongside them against the goblins.
"Heero, where are you from? It is a name I have not heard before." Tanis looked at him, but then Tasslehoff grinned.
"He's an alien! He asked what planet we're on and everything - but he didn't ask about our leader... aren't aliens meant to do that?"
"Baka, I'm human." Heero responded. Tasslehoff frowned.
"what does Baka mean?" Heero looked down at him. /I'd forgotten that I wasn't dealing with Duo there./ He thought how to say it, then went with the truth.
"Baka means idiot." He said flatly. To his surprise, Flint burst out laughing. Tanis hid a smile.
"He got you there Tas, now drop it. Heero, what brings you here?" Heero jumped. It was the first time one of them had addressed him directly.
"I just... dropped in." He replied thoughtlessly. Tas grinned.
"C'mon! Let's go!" The four walked into Solace.
---------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------
Duo looked at the world where Heero had crashed. /It couldn't be. But it does look like the map I saw... so long ago. I wish I still had that map. Could it be?/ He glanced up as Quatre spoke out.
"There's no real help for it. We'll have to go in secret. That means several drop offs in several places around where the shuttle is."
"I'll drop you all off." Duo volunteered. "That way I'll end up near the shuttle." Wufei nodded. Trowa just looked at him. "Really guys, I'll be fine." The hunched over the view of the land near the crash site. "Alright, he crashed somewhere near this lake, so we'll drop off there, there, and there, and I'll land the shuttle near here, which is the most likely place for Heero to have landed."
"Are you sure Duo?" Quatre still looked worried.
"It should be about right." Wufei frowned slightly.
"Fine then, Maxwell. Start the drop off. I'll go first. Then Barton, then Winner. We'll met up, where?"
"If I read this right, there should be a small town about here. We'll meet there." Trowa nodded.
"Alright Duo. Let's go."
"Wait." The others turned. "Q-man, are you picking anything up from Heero?" Quatre's eyes widened, then he concentrated. His eyes lit up suddenly.
"Good thinking Duo. Yes. He's still within the area you pointed out."
"That's good to know Quatre." The boys prepared for their respective drop offs. /Could it be? Finally, I'm home./
