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. G-boy torture. Be afraid. Be very, very afraid.

Part 12 - Elven Nightmares
Heero came around slowly. He opened his eyes a little, and took in his surroundings. There was a whisper of... something. Light began to filter through. He realised they were in the cellar of the inn. /Of course, that was what I heard. Raistlin must have done some sort of spell. Duo. Where is he? Is he alright?/ Heero slowly rose to his feet. Raistlin was sitting up, the Staff of Magius clutched in his hand. They looked at each other. He sat, deep in thought, as the mage woke the others. Heero focused on waking Quatre, who was next to him.
"Heero? What happened?"
"We fell through the floor. We are in the cellar of the inn." They watched Caramon trying to move a few rocks. Heero silently sat working out whether they could dig their way out. As Raistlin told Caramon off, Heero and Quatre exchanged glances, then nodded. When they heard noises, something attacking the draconians above, Quatre gave a little smile.
"What are we" Weak onnas waiting to be rescued?" Heero looked at him. That imitation of Wufei was worthy of Duo. He gave a small smile.
"Caramon, help me move this beam."
"Are you crazy? Raist just said..." Heero sighed.
"No. if we push this beam across that way," Heero pointed, "it should brace the whole lot so we can dig our way out." Quatre grinned at them both.
"Well? What are we waiting for?" Tanis smiled slightly.
"Someday you will have to explain this 'weak onna' business." He said. It was just as well that Heero and Caramon had braced the rubble above, as a clawed foot plunged through the debris above them. Tanis sent Caramon to find out what was going on. A hooded figure peered down the hole.
"We meet again, Tanis Half-elven."
----------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
Heero sighed. Duo had taught him some elven, but not enough to understand what Tanis and Alhana were discussing. /They sound like they're arguing, Heero thought, bickering more like. I wonder if Duo and Wufei are getting along alright. They may be best friends, but sometimes their debates go too far./ He sighed. The three day flight from Tarsis was a nightmare. Now, according to Raistlin, they were about to enter another one. The griffons had abandoned them. They were slowly making their way into Silvanesti by foot. Quatre was white, Heero himself could feel some fear, but not as debilitating as the black dragon had emitted. But Quatre was terrified of something. /It must be part of his Uchuu no Kokoro./ They followed Raistlin into the woods. He heard Tanis call out to Raistlin, as they all collapsed to the ground, everything going black.
----------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------
Heero stared as Tasslehoff pointed into the trees. /Think logically, Tas isn't meant to be here. Sturm, Flint, Laurana, even Duo, Trowa and Wufei aren't meant to be here. What is going on?/ He moved towards Duo, who held him tight.
"What is going on Heero?"
"I'm not sure, maybe Raistlin will know." He froze as he saw the undead elven warriors attacking. He stood in front of Duo protectively. The half-elf fought fiercely, as they protected each other's back. Trowa, Quatre and Wufei soon joined them. The five ex-pilots fighting desperately. They made their way to where Raistlin was standing. Duo gave a choked cry. The mage was wearing black robes. They gathered around the mage, listening.
"We walk in a dream, Lorac's nightmare. And our own nightmares as well. Visions of the future can arise to help us, or hinder. Remember, that though our bodies are awake, our minds sleep. Death exists only in our minds - unless we believe otherwise."
"Then why can't we wake up" Tanis demanded angrily.
"Because Lorac's belief in the dream is too strong, and your belief too weak. When you are firmly convinced, beyond doubt, that this is a dream, you will return to reality."
Heero had heard enough. He walked in the direction that Sturm had taken. The other pilots followed him. After a while, they stopped.
"Alright, what do you all think?" Heero asked calmly. They stopped and thought.
"He lied," Duo stated, "we won't wake until the dragon orb is stopped."
"What would he gain from lying?" Quatre asked puzzled. They looked at each other. "What do you think Heero? You've known Raistlin longer than all of us."
"Duo's right, he's more than likely lied about all this, but why..." then his head lifted. "The whole reason we're here in the first place! The dragon orb!" they exchanged looks, and then prepared to take off for the Tower of the Stars at a run.
"Wait!" they turned towards Duo. "One more thing. What did he say, Lorac's nightmare, and our own? What is your greatest fear?"
"What is the point of this?"
"Just that, I think he was telling the truth on that score, we may be facing our own worst fears. And the future. Visions of the future to help or hinder, remember? We'd better stay close." The others nodded, and then they ran to the Tower.
Relena found herself in the middle of a forest. There in front of her was Heero and the other pilots. She took a breath.
"HEERO!" the pilot turned to her, and frowned.
"Relena, how did you get here?"
"I'm not sure. In fact, it's very strange. But the shuttle from the preventers just left yesterday." Heero frowned deeper.
"Relena, this is a nightmare, you are more than likely asleep on Earth right now. if you're here, then we'll see others from home too." They all nodded. Then turned back to the Tower.
"Hey kid," a voice called. Duo turned. And froze in shock.
"S-Solo?!" the other boy moved forward.
"Why did you let me die?" Duo stared in horror, as his long dead friend moved forward.
Wufei shifted his grip on his katana, as a sword moved into his view.
"Care for another duel, Dragon?" Wufei couldn't move... /It couldn't be!/
"Treize..." Une, Zechs and Noin walked up behind him. And then the taunts began.
"Weak! Coward!" Wufei sank to his knees, not even defending himself.
Trowa and Quatre stood in front of Catherine, who was sending knife after knife into the enemies. One of the knives was grabbed out of the air, and sent back at them. They all stared as the throwing knife was sent straight at Trowa. Catherine gasped, then knelt by her brother's side, as Quatre tried to protect them. He couldn't hold them off alone. The elven warriors butchered them where they stood. The last thing Quatre saw was a dark cloaked figure, with a long braid.
Heero was fighting fiercely, protecting Relena, since she couldn't fight. He snarled, as he saw Duo standing, being attacked by a slender blonde boy. The most frightening thing was that Duo wasn't fighting back.
Duo stared as Solo slashed at him. Deep inside he knew it wasn't real, but /this was Solo, I couldn't hurt Solo!/ He shrank back, as a dark figure moved forward, reaching for him. It had a long braid.
Heero looked around himself, seeing his friends fighting. In Duo and Wufei's cases, he realised that they were fighting their own pasts. At that moment, Dou collapsed, overcome by his enemies. Heero froze, and forgetting about Relena, he ran to Duo. Relena was slaughtered behind him, but all he could see was Duo falling to the ground. He stooped to grab Duo, and felt something hit him. Dr J stood above him having shot his shoulder. The scientist leered.
"Mercy is weakness," the old freak stated, "and weakness is death!" with that, the doctor shot him in the chest. He could almost see Duo standing behind the doctor, everything went black.
----------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------
Heero woke with a start. They were in the Tower. Raistlin, in red robes, was coughing helplessly. Quatre curled up next to him, whimpering. His eyes met Tanis' across the hall. They were alive.
----------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------
"Duo, Tas, could you please get water for breakfast? Trowa, Nemesis and Wufei have gone for wood." Duo smiled at Laurana.
"Sure, C'mon Tas, Maybe we can find Tro and Wu!" the kender followed his friend, and the pair laughed easily. Duo's mood had lifted when Sturm told him Heero was alright. Then Tas whispered to him.
"Isn't that Nemesis?" Duo glanced over, and yes, it was his sister. Then he gasped softly. Nemesis was engaged in a deep, tongue wrestling, saliva swapping, protracted tonsil tangling kiss, with...
"Trowa! What the hell?"
=========================================================== =====================
Good question Duo. What the hell! That was not meant to happen! Why won't my OC behave herself? She was meant to be with Wufei!
Wufei: INJUSTICE!
Nemesis: It isn't my fault that Trowa is cuter than Wufei! Those tight pants!
Trowa: ...
Duo: Get your hands off my sister!!!! (yelps when Heero tugs him back out of the way.)
*sigh* what can you do? I wanted her to go with a guy with a similar outlook to her. I hope she behaves herself in Feanor. Otherwise I'll hand her to General Septum!!
On another note, I wasn't sure what was going to happen, just that the others would be there a little. I'm not too sure what that bit with seeing Duo was about, unless maybe the whole 'God of Death' thing had something to do with it.
