Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Final Fantasy 4/Gundam Wing ❯ The Duty of the Dark Knight ( Chapter 1 )

"Yeah, oh Heero, Duo was awfully worried about you last night.."Trowa said as they started their journey towards the Mist Valley.

"Yeah, I could tell...he was worried, you might get hurt fighting the phanton beast."said Trowa.

"...He's always like that..."muttered Heero.

".....Is it because he lo-...."Trowa stopped himself."..nevermind forget it..."

"Loves me?"asked Heero.

"Yeah..."replied Trowa slowly.

"Well...I almost think he does...and I think I love him too."Heero said to Trowa.

"Oh...I see..."muttered Trowa in reply.

There was a long silence as the two friends made their way to the mist valley.

As they entered the dark, mist filled cave, they encountered many monsters which had gathered at the cave, but they were easily vanquished with Trowas dark sword and Heeros dragoon ability.

They entered the cave, but the cave was dark and full of thick mist, it was hard to see where to go.

"It's so damn hard to see in here."muttered Trowa.

"You chickening out, Trowa?"joked Heero.

"Never, in my life."grinned Trowa.

"Hey, I see the exit!"called Heero as Trowa finished killing a monster that blocked his path.

They took afew steps forward when a voice filled the air...and echoed trough the cave.

"GO BACK."it said.

"Who's there?!Show yourself!"called Trowa looking in every direction.

No answer.

So they continued on but heard the voice again.

"LEAVE AT ONCE."

"Could it be the Beast of Misty Valley?"Heero asked Trowa.

Then the voice seemed to be getting closer.

"KNIGHTS OF BARON."

"Who are you!?"asked Heero demandingly.

"LEAVE NOW AND NO HARM WILL BEFALL YOU."

"Confident bastard aren't you?"asked Heero in a low voice.

"YOU REFUSE?"

"Yes!"yelled Trowa determined to fulfill this mission."We have to go to Mist Village. We're not going back."

"SO BE IT."

"Trowa, the mist is gathering!"yelled Heero, as they watched all the mist of the cave gather into one spot forming a dragon shape.

"A mist dragon."replied Trowa.

They took out their weapons readying for a fight. Trowa with his sword and Heero his dragoon lance.

Trowa slashed through the dragon and it roared slightily in pain."My sword seems effective!" he said to Heero.

"Yeah, now it's my turn to show this bastard dragon a leason not to mess with me!"repleid Heero jumping into the air and positioning himself so that his lance would stab directly into the mist dragon. He landed and jumped back to the ground as the dragon roared in pain again.

Suddenly the dragon turned into mist, its form no longer a dragon and could not be detected.

"What!?"demanded Heero angrily."Where the hell did the thing go?"

"Damn!What's it doing?!"yelled Trowa, running forward and took a swing where the dragon had previously been, but nothing...

"Whoa!Shit!Trowa get down!"called Heero as the mist shot a cold blast of air at them.

"What?!"asked Trowa confused.

"Dammit!"yelled Heero running over to Trowa and knocking him to the ground as well as himself.

"It can't stay like that forever!It only counter attacks when in that form and if we don't attack it, it's helpless."explained Heero.

"So let's wait till it returns to its dragon shape!"replied Trowa.

Within moments the mist turned back to its dragon form and ready to attack them again.

"Ah!Let's go!"yelled Heero jumping into the air again.

"Right!"repleid Trowa running forward.

They both slashed trough the mist dragon each cutting trough it easily, making it fade away into thin mist.

Heero grinned."Geez, was that all!?That was the so called phantom beast...hmph. Not even a challenge."muttered Heero in disapointment.

"Yeah..I guess, let's go to the mist village then get back to Baron."replied Trowa as they exited the cave and onward to the Mist Village which lie just beyond the exit.

*********

They found their way into the mist village and entered slowly.

Trowa noticed a glowing from the bomb ring he wore on his finger, that was givin to him by the king."Huh?The ring's glowing......."he muttered.

Suddenly 6 or more bomb monsters appeared and ran a rampage through the villiage setting everything on fire and distroying what they could.

"My God!"exclaimed Heero shocked.

"...This is it?This is why he sent us!?"Trowa asked in disbelief.

"The entire village in flames..."muttered Heero.

Trowa walked forward in anger and fustration."WHY!!!"he yelled angrily.

Just then they heard a sobbing voice near them."Nooo!Mother!"

Trowa was shocked and went in the direction of the sobbing voice, Heero followed behind silently.

They saw a young teenage boy which looked to be around sixteen or seventeen, crying and looking down at a collapsed body.

The boy went up to them sadly."My mom's dragon diied, so my mom also..."muttered the boy.

"What!?"asked Trowa confused.

"People with the power to summon monsters--the summoners..."explained Heero."They really exist."

"Then his mother died becasue we killed the dragon."replied Trowa.

The boy backed away."You killed my mom's dragon!!?"demanded the boy angrily.

"We didn't know. I'm...I'm sorry."apologized Trowa.

Heero sighed."So this is the King's wish...to annihilate every summoner in this village."he said."...I'm afaid we'll have to take care of him, too."

"What!?"replied Trowa shocked.

"I know, but it's the King's orders."said Heero.

"Heero, he's just one small defenceless teenager, what harm could he do if we leave him alive!?"demanded Trowa.

"You tend to defy the King?"asked Heero.

Trowa nodded."I refuse to continue this slaughter in the King's name!"answered Trowa, forcing Heero to step back away from the boy.

"Damn...I was afaid you'd say that. Well, I can't kill you, so I might as well join you."said Heero laughing slightly.

"Heero."muttered Trowa.

"I owe the King so much but I can't disgrace the dragoons."explained Heero."Not on my life."

"I guess we're both traiters hereon."replied Trowa.

"Opposing the mightiest kingdom in the land...we'll need allies to survive."suggested Heero."We have to rescue Duo somehow too."

"Thanks, Heero."said Trowa.

"Save it. I'm not doing this for you."replied Heero.

Trowa was silent.

"We'd better get going. What should we do about the boy?"asked Heero.

"We can't just leave him..."muttered Trowa, then taking a step toward the boy making him back away."It's alright.We're not going to hurt you. Come with us, okay?"offered Trowa.

"No!"yelled the boy angrily.

"Come on! We have to go now!"yelled Heero.

"No! Stay away!"yelled the boy in reply.

"Wait!"replied Trowa, trying to get the boy to listen but failed.

"I hate you!!You killed my mom!!"yelled the boy even angrier.

With all the anger and hate the boy had inside him he began to call up a summon.

"Go awaaay!"yelled the boy."Titan!!"

But that summon was a deadly mistake. It caused a large earthquake swallowing them up in a crevas caving in the exit to the Mist Village.

Trowa found himself lying on the ground his body ached like hell but there was no serious injuries. He got up quickly and saw the boy liing beside him.

"He's safe. Thank goodness."sighed Trowa.

But then something crossed his mind....

"Heero?"Trowa called out."Heero!"

Trowa sighed sadly and lowered his head."I hope he's safe...I have to get him out of here.."

Trowa picked up the battered body of the boy and walked on past a large vast desert were many monsters lived. His only thoughts were getting this boy to a safty of a village to recover from the fall.

He finally made his way to the desert village called Kaipo...

"Kaipo....huh? Hm....I have to find a palce for him to rest."muttered Trowa, looking around the village only to spot a small inn.

He went in and walked over to where the innkeeper sat."Welcome, Oh is he hurt!?Take him inside!No charge, just go ahead."offered the inn keeper.

"Thank you."replied Trowa gratefully, then going into the room where he was told to go.

He placed the boy gently on the bed, and the boy opened his eyes weakly and turned away from Trowa's satre instantly.

"Hey, are you okay?"asked Trowa.

The boy was silent.

"My name is Trowa. What's yours?"asked Trowa.

The boy continued to stay silent.

"...I'm sorry about your mom. I understand if you can't forgive me. Will you at least let me protect you?"offered Trowa.

Still nothing...

Trowa sighed and went into bed. The boy glanced over at Trowa but then turned back quickly.

**********

Trowa awoke startled, it was still night time but someone was barging into the inn. He got out of bed to inspect but only to be greeted by one of Barons generals and three other soldiers.

"Trowa!Finally, I've found you."said the general.

The boy awoke also and sat up in the bed to watch.

"Wait!The King--"started Trowa but the general cut him off.

"I am here on the Kings orders. All summoners of Mist must be annihilated."explained the general."Now hand over the boy."

"No."answered Trowa sternly.

"Kill him."ordered the general to his soldiers.

Trowa pulled out his sword and dodgedas one of the soldiers ran toward him swinging his sword wildly, then jabbed the soldier in the back with his sword. The next soldier came at the same time making things more difficult for Trowa. The first one kept him busy while the other come from behind hitting Trowa in the back hard with the hilt of the sword. While Trowa was stunned from the hit the other soldier punched him in the stomach making him fall to the ground.

Trowa frowned angrily, tripping both the soldiers and taking his sword and stabbing them both savagely and bruitily, killing them instantly.

"Damn.This isn't the end!"the general yelled then retreating.

Trowa sighed with relief and turned to the boy.

"Are you okay?"asked the boy.

"Yeah."replied Trowa."Don't worry I won't let them hurt you."

"You promise?"asked the boy.

"I promise."replied Trowa.

"....I'm Quatre."he told Trowa.

"Quatre..."muttered Trowa.
