Part 8

Trowa and Quatre finally returned after three weeks of travel with 500 hundred men in company. Once the Dragonesti were explained the situation in Clyssandria with their cousins they agreed to send as many men as they could.
Trowa and Quatre also had seemed to arrive just in time for a fortnight later the battle that would determine the fate of the world would take place, whether they were ready or not.

"Princess Relena, there has been sight of an army moving towards Clyssandria from the east." Pargan reported.
"Thank you Pargan. Go get the five boys. Tell them I'm having an emergency meeting. Notify Dorothy as well." Relena instructed.
"Miss, shall I retrieve Miss Hilde as well?"
"No Pargan, she cannot help us anymore than what she already has."
"Yes princess." With a courteous bow, he left to retrieve the five warriors, and the general.
Relena sighed as she sat down and took a sip of her water. A curt knock on the door made her look up from the glass she was holding to see everyone walk in.
"Miss Relena what is the mater?" Quatre asked.
""Cut the formalities. The day of battle is arriving; our enemy is getting closer by the day. They have been spotted to the east of Clyssandria. We need everyone ready for this battle. If we fall, so will everyone else. Miro, will be next, then Himansa, after that Dizandria, then Zointalina and even Robiaska. Yes Duo, I knew you even before you arrived. Your parent's had sent me a message asking to give you a place to live and keep you safe. I was sworn to secrecy, but considering the situation I'm sure they won't mind. Your parent's are good people and they care for you very much." Relena gave Duo a warm smile.
"I know they do, as do I." He replied.
"I need everyone to prepare for the worse since I am no good at battle strategic's, Dorothy you will take over from now on."
"Of course Relena." Dorothy bowed and began to assign positions and roles for everyone.

"Shinigami, come here boy!" Duo called as he entered the stables, a week having passed. Further down the building shouts and hoof clatter could be heard heading towards Duo. Soon a black shadow emerged revealing Shinigami, a few stable boys right behind him.
"Hi boy. You ready for this? That's what I thought, well I'm ready as I'll ever be." Duo sighed as he patted his stallion's neck.
Mounting into the saddle, Duo squeezed Shinigami's belly and they exited the stables.
Galloping down the path that would lead him to the battlefield, Duo was soon joined by Wufei on his gelding Shenlong as well as Trowa on Heavyarms. Arriving at their destinations, Duo dismounted and headed for the large tent.
"Ok, can we get this show on the road?" Duo asked as he stepped through the make shift doors of the tent.
Heero, Quatre and Dorothy looked up from the map they were analyzing at the three that walked in.
"Almost, we just have to wait for everyone to be in position then we attack." Heero gave Duo a small smile. "We will win." Heero mouthed.
"I hope so." Duo mouthed back.
"Alright. Duo and Quatre you two will stay near the back of our forces, and put up a shield to protect our men. It might be dangerous and draining but it will be worth it. Trowa, you will take a group of archers down by the river an attack from the west. Wufei, you will lead half of the troops into battle and attempt to protect them will a firewall. Heero you will lead the other half at the front while placing a barrio around them. I realize that this is dangerous for everyone but you all play a valuable role in this battle. May the gods be with you all. I will be fighting as well. I do want to see you again, so stay alive." Dorothy instructed once again.
"Yes mam." The five replied before they left to prepare themselves.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Be careful."
"I will and that goes for you as well. I don't want to fine out that you drained yourself of all your power because of a shield." Heero declared.
Giving Heero a quick kiss, Duo told him to go before the battle began with out him. Mounting onto Shinigami, Duo watched at his love left while he waited for Quatre to arrive.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Be safe little one. I don't want you to get hurt." Trowa said softly.
"I wont get hurt. I promise. But you better come back in one piece. Cause if you don't, I will not be happy." Quatre warned.
"Don't worry little on. If anything goes wrong I'll just jump into the river and stay there or swim further down and make my way back to the battlefield to find you. I'll be fine." Trowa coaxed his lover.
"I know I'm just so worried about you. I just got you, the last thing I want is to lose you. Go with the knowledge that I love you>"
"I love you too angel." Leaning down, Trowa gave Quatre a passionate kiss before he left the blond to go and retrieve the men he was to be in charge of.
"The gods be with you lobe." Quatre whispered to his gone koi. Sighing Quatre mounted up on Sandrock and trotted his way over to where he knew Duo would be. "Sorry I'm late Duo. I had some thing to do before coming here." Quatre apologized.
"Saying good bye to Trowa?"
"Um…yeah." Quatre blushed.
"Hey don't worry about it. If you'd gotten here any sooner you would have had a show to watch anyways. So are you ready?" Duo asked, changing the subject.
"Yeah. Not that I want to but it's better than to sit around camp and do nothing other than wait." Quatre commented as Duo and himself made their way to the rear of the army.
"I suppose. Hey Q-man, if you start losing power, just borrow some off of me. I never have to regenerate." Duo offered.
"Thank you. Hopefully it wont come to that though."
"Well let's get this show on the road." Duo piped as Quatre and himself began to mentally and physically prepare themselves for the task at hand. Keeping up a shield for an entire army was not going to be something simple.
