Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ The GW Survival Contest ❯ Cash Money fo' the Record! Pinkbeard's Treasure is Found ( Chapter 9 )

Finally! This is the last chapter before the conclusion. This part is kind of long, sorry about that. I don't think I have to give you a disclaimer for the ninth time. You know by now that I don't own GW or any trademarked items that I mention. I'm just a kid.

Part Nine: Cash Money fo' the Record! Pinkbeard's Treasure is Found!

:::After ten minutes of following a trail of Quatre tracks, the gang find Wufei and Treize. They're sitting on tree stumps staring at each other:::

Cathy: What are you guys doing?

Wufei: Quiet! Treize and I are in a staring competition.

Heero: You mean a staring contest?

Relena: Why are you doing that?

Treize: It's the only way to prove which man is the strongest.

Noin: What?! We're on a deserted island with a crazed gundam pilot running around and all you two can think of is settling an old duel?

Sally: Let's just leave them here, Noin. Knowing how thickheaded Wufei is, he's not moving from that spot till that contest is over. Let's keep following those tracks.

Duo: Uhhh...little problem. The tracks stop here.

Sally: Then if the tracks stop here, then where the heck is Quatre?

YYYYEAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGHH!!

:::All of a sudden Quatre jumps down from a palm tree and pulls out a sword:::

Relena: He's got a sword!

Duo: Where did he get it?

Une: *recognizes it as Treize's antique sword*: Let go of that, you thief!

:::Une and the other g-peeps struggle to stop Quatre while trying to keep away from the sword. Sand was flying everywhere, screaming and yelling, arrgghs, and swinging of a sword, but Treize and Wufei didn't move from their spots. Lucky for Heero, he managed to get behind Quatre and hit him on the back of the head, making him collapse:::

Cathy: It seems like everybody's getting knocked out today.

Noin: Quick! Somebody take the map from him!

Duo: Okay. Trowa, you do it.

Trowa: I'm not sticking my hand in there.

Duo: Neither am I.

Sally: Well, don't look at me!

Heero: I'll do it. *pulls out the map from Quatre's pocket*

Duo: Let me see that. HHHmmm...this map looks easy to follow. How about we go look for that treasure now?

Une: Yes! Let's get this over with.

Duo: Alrighty. The map says to go this way 300 steps until you reach a small canyon.

:::They all start walking and some time later they make it to 300. It's getting dark now:::

Duo: That's funny, we should be at Miner Cliff right now.

Une: Well, I don't see a cliff, all I see is---yeeeeeeeee!!!!

Duo: Yeeee? What's that mean?

Trowa: Duo, Une just fell down a cliff.

Duo: A cliff? Where?-oh, there it is.

Une: Heeeelp!!

Heero: She isn't dead? Darn it...

Noin: *looks down to see Une hanging from a branch that caught hold of her uniform* Lady Une, are you okay?

Une: What do you think, Lt.? Of course I'm not okay! Get me out of here now!!!

Duo: Okay! Okay! Geez. Calm down. We'll need a nice vine or something.

Une: Wait! I can see it!

Sally: See what?

Une: I can see the X that marks the spot from here! *squints her eyes* There's something else over there too…but it's too far away to see it..

Cathy: Look, you guys! I see it too.

Trowa *looks*: Woah...

Relena: That's a big* X.

Zechs: Well, what are we doing standing here? Let's go get that treasure!

:::They run off leaving Une by herself:::

Une: Wait!! Where are you guys going?! You're not just going to leave me here are you!?

*************************

:::It's now nighttime and the GW people that are left have reached the location. But they stop when they see that someone beat them to it:::

Relena: Who is that?

Heero: I don't know. I can't see because it's so dark, but whoever they are, they found the treasure.

Duo: They're pulling out the box! Let's go!

Heero: No. We don't know who they are yet. It could be an enemy.

Duo: But OZ is our only enemy and they're here with us.

Cathy: There's some moonlight. I can see four people. One of them is kind of small, two of them are pulling out the box, and another is standing by watching. There's something else in the background...it's kind of big.

Noin: *O.O* It's a mobile suit!

Zechs: I know who it is. Marameida...

Relena: *hears the dreaded M-word* Oh no, not her!!

:::dramatic music for those shocking moments::: Dun Dun Duuuuuuuuuuunn!!

Duo: ?? Where'd that music come from?

Cathy: You mean that's Treize's daughter?

Zechs: Yes.

Cathy: How did you know?

Zechs: I can see those stupid feathers on their heads from here. I have keen eyesight.

Relena: Ohhh..I can't stand that little brat. She's always spoiling everything. First, she ruined my X-mas, she poisoned me, and stalled universal peace. Now she's taking that treasure for herself.

Sally: Before we go out there like a bunch of hotheaded lunatics, we should come up with a plan first and then attack. Now, Heero, what do you suggest? *no answer* Heero? Oh no, he's gone!

Noin: So is Duo.

Relena: We have to help them. Plan or no plan.

*************

:::The g-people caught up with Duo and Heero, but were too late to stop them:::

Duo: Stop right there!

Marameida: *surprised to see all of them there* Ah, it's the Braid-boy and Mr. Yuy; it's a pleasure to see you again. Those grass skirts that you're clad in are exquisite.

Heero: Trust me, the pleasure's all yours.

Duo: Yeah, Little Miss I'm gonna rule the world because My Daddy wanted to and i'm a spoiled little brat so everyone should listen to me even though I'm just a kindergartner with a vocabulary that's bigger than my own height! You're not going anywhere with that treasure.

Heero: Ouch. Good one, Duo.

Duo: Thanks! *turns attention back to Marameida* So like I said, hand the treasure over.

Marameida: Actually, I've already left kindergarten and I've just received my Master's degree from Harvard. Nice try though.

Duo: Oh.

Marameida: Now if you two will excuse me, I have to get going now with my treasure and prepare for my birthday party. It will be very expensive, so I need the extra cash. I heard about the legend of Pinkbeard's treasure and came here. I'm having N'Sync and Aaron Carter perform at the party and everyone's invited--except for you of course.

Trowa: Aaron Carter? You mean Nick Carter's little brother?

Marameida: Why yes.

Cathy: N'Sync! *squeals with delight* Can I come?!

Relena: Cathy!

Cathy: But I love N'Sync! @.@ *drooling with hearts in her eyes* Especially Justin Timberlake...

Duo: Justin Timberlake? He's gay.

Cathy: You're just jealous because you know that he's much cooler than you.

Duo: Cooler than me? I am Shinigami! No guy is cooler than me!

Marameida: Enough! It looks like you won't allow me to leave so I'll have to get rid of you. *looks at the three men who are with her* Get rid of them. Now I will finally be rid of all who stand in my way. *grins evilly*

:::Dun Dun Duuuuuuuuunnnnn!!:::

Relena: We've got to find out where that music is coming from.

:::The soldiers attack:

Trowa: .....*attacks*

Soldier 1: Yaaaaggghhh!! My eye!!! He poked my eye!

Sally: He used his bangs as a weapon. How clever!

Noin: I can do that too!

Soldier 2: Yaaaaggghhhh!!

Noin: ^__^ See?

:::Soldier 3 chickens out and escapes in the mobile suit:::

Zechs: It looks like the treasure's ours.

Marameida: Curses.

Une: Your father will be very upset when he finds out about what you tried to do, young lady.

Marameida: Father is dead!

Relena: No, he's very much alive…unfortunately. He's on the island somewhere.

Marameida: *tears form in her eyes* ...daddy...

Duo: Okay, enough with the mush! Let's open that treasure box!

:::He and Heero break the lock and fling the box wide open:::

Duo: *jaw drops* What!! IT'S EMPTY!!!

Noin: It's empty?!

Cathy: You mean we went through all this for nothing?

Zechs: *faints*

Marameida: No treasure? But who took it?

Trowa: I guess someone else beat us to it.

Duo: *floodcries* WAAAAAHHHHH!! All my dreams! Ruined!

Relena: It's okay Duo. This just teaches us all an important lesson-

Duo: No Brittany Spears! No mansion! No BMW! Waaaaaaahhhh...

Relena: …we've learned that greed can make a person do crazy things and that money truly can ruin you. We should all remember that there are other things in life to be thankful for.

Noin: Like what?

Trowa: Extra strength hairspray?

Sally: Miracle bras?

Relena: No! That we're still alive and well. The sun is coming up now and this contest is pretty much over. We all survived together; we should all be thankful for that.

Duo: And you believe all that crap?

Relena: Why, yes.

Duo: Figures...

Heero: *looks up at the sky* There's something coming.

:::Everyone looks up to see something floating down:::

Noin: It's a bird.

Cathy: It's a plane!

Duo: It's Superman!!

Heero: Actually it's Dfire in a parachute.

Duo: I knew that.

Sally: It's over! This stupid contest is finally over!!

Dfire: Hello peoples! ^__^

Duo: Hey! Why didn't you "poof" here like last time?

Dfire: I wanted to make a bigger entrance. So, how are all my survivors doing?

Heero: I'm so happy to see you, that I don't know if I should hug you or strangle you for putting me on this cursed island!

Dfire: Well, that's nice to hear. I guess now's the time to decide which team wins.

Relena: But not everybody is here.

Dfire: I'll fix that. *snaps fingers and Dorothy, Quatre, Hilde, and Wufei still staring at Treize "poof" into the scene*

Wufei: Oh darn! Both Treize and I just blinked at the same time! Thanks a lot Dfire.

Quatre: *wakes up* Where am I?

Hilde: *wakes up* What the heck happened?

Dorothy: The treasure is gone! Where is it?

Dfire: And now, people of Gundam Wing, now's the time for the moment of truth! Now is the time to decide who wins the grand prize!

G-people: Alright!!

**********

Thanks so much for reading my fic!! I hope you enjoyed it because I did. Whew! My fingers are worn out from all the typing.

Dorothy: We're gonna win!

Wufei: No! We are!

Sally: No! Us!
