In the panic, Duo punched one of the guards and grabbed his sword and ran him through. He pulled the sword out in time to stop another sword from cutting into him. He briefly fought the sailor before he ran the sailor through. He hurried to the cargo hold and looked at the lock confining his crew below decks. The lock was old and rusted. He brought the butt of his sword down on it and it broke immediately. He smiled and pulled open the hatch and smiled when his crew came running out. They immediately started to fight Quinze's crew. Duo smiled when he Quatre and Trowa finally came out of the hold.

"Sorry I was late Quatre."

"No problem. I just want to know who's firing at us."

Duo looked around quickly and recognized Treize's ship closing quickly on them. He was surprised when he saw a cloud of smoke from the cannon and then the boom from the cannon fire. Then there was a loud splash not far from the ship.

"It's Treize, but why he's firing at us. I don't know."

"Alright, let's worry about one problem at a time."

Duo nodded and got into the fighting mess around him. Quatre and Trowa did the same. Duo made his way towards the cabins in hopes of finding Heero. He saw Quinze duck into the hallway leading towards the cabins and quickly followed. He fought off some of the sailors while trying to get to the doorway.

He finally had space and ran towards the doorway but stopped abruptly when Quinze stepped out holding Heero hostage. Quinze held a small pistol to Heero's head and pushed him forward.

"QUINZE!" Duo shouted at him and moved to intercept him.

Quinze jerked his head around and saw Duo striding towards him. He smirked and moved to the upper deck dragging Heero with him the whole way. Duo followed.

Quinze stopped when he found some clear space to fight Duo. Heero stared in disgust at Quinze. He still held the pocket knife tightly in his hand, just waiting for the right time to use it. He didn't fight Quinze at all since the pistol was aimed at him. He glanced hopefully at Duo when he saw him step up on to the upper deck.

Duo smiled for Heero before snarling at Quinze, "Let him go!"

"Why should I?"

"Because he is mine."

Heero shivered at the possessive tone. He normally wouldn't be happy about it, but he would rather be Duo's than anyone else's.

Quinze smirked, "No. I plan to keep this one. Unfortunately you aren't in my plans. Goodbye."

Quinze leveled the gun at Duo.

"No!" Heero shouted and pushed the gun to the side away from Duo, but Quinze had already pulled the trigger. Duo cried out as the bullet entered his left shoulder. Quinze snarled and backhanded Heero. Heero fell to the ground from the force of the blow. He looked up angrily at Quinze, but Quinze wasn't paying attention to him anymore.

Quinze threw the gun away and pulled out his sword. With Duo incapacitated, he figured it would be easier to kill him now. He walked calmly forward and readied his sword for the killing blow. Duo straightened and gripped his sword in his right hand. Quinze swung forward but Duo blocked and parried with a thrust of his own.

The fighting around them dimmed to background noise as Duo and Quinze squared off. Not even the cannon blasts disrupted their concentration. Their swords sang as they hit each other. But it wasn't to last long, Duo was tiring and Quinze scored another hit on Duo. This time he hit Duo's midsection. Duo doubled over and slumped to his knees. Quinze viciously pulled the sword out and readied it for the killing blow.

Heero's eyes blazed when he saw Quinze ready for the killing blow. He stood and rushed Quinze quickly before he could finish his down stroke. He took out the pocket knife and plunged it into Quinze's neck.

Duo looked up defiantly at Quinze while holding his side in hopes of stopping the blood flow. He was surprised to see Heero rush up and thrust the pocket knife he gave him into Quinze's throat.

Quinze gloated to himself as he readied his blade to kill Duo. He raised it and was about to bring it down when he felt a sharp pain in his neck. He tried to gasp for breath but all he got was blood. He looked down into fiery blue eyes before he fell down on the deck.

Heero let go of the knife and moved to Duo's side. He took his and Duo's shirt off. He looked at the wounds on Duo and paled a little. He took his shirt and tore it into strips that he used to bandage Duo up.

Duo smiled at Heero and reached out to caress his hair. Heero smiled at Duo and leaned into the caressing hand.

"ENOUGH!" Treize yelled as he got on to the deck. All of the sailors stopped their fighting and looked at Treize. Quatre made his way forward and smiled at him, his smiled quickly dropped when Treize held him at sword point, "Where is Duo?"

Quatre pointed to the upper deck dumbly. Treize's sailors came on board and rounded up all the sailors on board. While Treize made his way to the upper deck. When he got up there he saw Quinze on the ground, dead, bleeding from a wound in the neck. Then Duo and the boy he recognized as Zechs' son were sitting on the ground not to far away.

"Duo." Treize snarled.

Duo looked up in surprise then smiled, "We finally got him Captain. Just like you asked."

"Don't play cute. I know you betrayed me. Now prepare for your death."
