*THUD*
“Owwie...” “Whoever is on my leg had better get up, now!” “I would but someone is pinning my legs!” “Damn... that hurt...” “Get off!” “I'm tryin'!” “Nataku!”
Moments later all five ex-pilots were on their feet and as one, the four tag alongs turned on their accidental kidnapper.
“MAXWELL!” all four voices shouted while Duo cringed and slowly started sidling away. Quatre suddenly appears behind him and grabs him. “You aren't going anywhere until you explain this Duo,” the angelic looking Arabian growled. Everyone tended to forget he controlled a multi-million, possibly multi-billion, dollar company on a regular basis due to his generally sweet nature. The look on the blonde's face was not so sweet now and was every bit the anal retentive controlling force of Winner Enterprises Inc.
“Uh well...you see...uh...” `Damn, I've blown up countless Ozzie bases, faced mobile dolls at hopeless odds, suffered under Ozzie interrogation, and never has anything frightened me like Quat is right now. Oh damn, I'm so screwed...' Internal monologue over, Duo tried to figure out how to explain that he had no idea what happened. Thankfully, or not so thankfully, a kunai skimmed between the knot of ex-pilots and embedded itself in the dirt and Duo's feet. `Is there a reason every keeps pickin' on me?!' All five pilots turn and drop into defensive positions as they survey the people around them.
One was a tall, lanky, scarecrow of a man with gravity defying silver hair, a mask over his lower face, and a headband covering his left eye. To the left and a little behind him was a tall-ish boy in a neon orange jump suit with sunshine blonde hair and sky blue eyes that were comically widened in shock although his stance was guarded. To the right and behind the scarecrow, closer to the tree line was a pink haired girl in a red dress and shorts that Heero would be proud of. Although her face was close to matching the color of her dress, she too was in a defense stance, her hand resting on her weapon pouch. On the other side of the field, opposite Orange, was another tall-ish boy that looked like a living breathing male porcelain doll, if porcelain dolls had blood read tome spinning eyes and an air of `I-am-about-to-kill-you-slowly-and-painfully-just-let-me-firgure-out-which- method-to-use'. He had blue-black raven winged hair with a blue shirt and white shorts. He was the one who had thrown the kunai at Duo's poor feet and he quickly replaced it with another form his holster. He was crouched in a wary attack stance and flicked his creepy eyes towards the scarecrow, evidently for instructions.
Scarecrow's eyes turns up into a nonchalant smile completely at odds with his stance that screamed `experienced killer!' “Maa...mind telling us how you got here?” Phrased as a question, the demand for answers was blatant. The others glance at Duo from the corners of their eyes while their stances go from guarded defense to a wary offense before they return their full focus on the strangers around them. Scarecrow's nonchalant façade drops when he notices the changes and silently signals Pink, Orange, and Tomoe. Suddenly, Scarecrow is gone and Duo slams into a tree with Scarecrow's fingers like a constricting steel band around his throat. Using his free hand he lifts his headband, revealing another red tomoe decorated eye with a thick scar slanting across it. Shock. Fear. Anger. Rage. Duo was choking on his emotions that were inexplicable flooding his mind. There was something important about red eyes but what? `Red eyes, red eyes, red eyes, RED EYES! SHARINGAN! SHARINGAN EYE! The Copy Wheel!' “04 Red Eyes! 05 Orange! 03 Pink! 01 Scarecrow!” Duo snaps out orders as the Scarecrow jounin's grip tightens. With a snarl he tires to knee Scarecrow in the groin but the jounin's free hand grabs his knee painfully, threatening to dislocate it. Violet eyes narrow as his emotions surge again and he thrusts with his free knee which Scarecrow blocks and suddenly the constricting band is gone and he drops to the ground in a shaky crouch while sucking air into his burning lungs. Looking up, Heero is crouched before him, facing off against the jounin. Heero lunges forward in a blur of motion as the jounin leans back dodging the fist and flowing to a roundhouse Heero ducks down and lunges up and forward as the jounin's second leg follows the first connecting solidly with Heero's side as Heero's Doctor J enhanced fist connects with the jounin's jaw.
Quatre quickly realized why Duo sent him after the red eyed boy when his emotions started welling up when their gazes locked. His eyes narrow minutely then he smiles guilelessly and he can feel the way the other boy is throw off. In that critical second Quatre lunges forward in a flying kick and slams into the boys mid-section only for a `poof' of smoke and the sound of a log breaking in two. “Shit!” The crack of flesh connecting with wood reverberates and Quatre grunts when hands clamp on his biceps in a bruising grip half a foot off the ground (sort of impressive considering his opponent was only about 2 inches taller than him). His captor smirks before locking his swirling gaze with Quatre's serene teal gaze. Immediately Quatre grabs the boy's forearms in a crushing grip while locking his legs around his waist preventing him from moving. Finally, Quatre's face morphs from serene to `ZERO-System-possessed-colony-destroyer' as he shoves all his emotions and nightmares from the war down Sauske's mental throat. The resulting scream reverberates through the forest.
“Sauske-kun!” is promptly followed by a pained cry as a kunai bites deeply into the flesh of the girl's thigh. The blessing of long legs, being able to strike your opponent outside of their strike range. It didn't take a genius to realize that staying out of range of a crater making pissed off female was a good thing. Evidently strong blows didn't mean strong body as his high kick connects with her jaw, sending her solidly into a tree leaving her temporarily stunned. Stunned turns promptly to KO'd when a bundle of irate (okay, friggin' furious) Chinese youth slams into her. He quickly leaps forward into a low crouch spewing curses starting in Mandarin and flowing through at least twelve other languages. Duo, currently latched onto Scarecrow's back whistles appreciatively then sniggers. `Memo to self: Get Wuffers to teach me that!' “Maa, what's so funny Chibi-san?” Kakashi reaches back and grabs the base of Duo's braid and throws him off and into the irate Chinese boy just to be quickly thrown back by a kick to the torso courtesy of a pissy Heero.
Trowa intercepts Orange while Wufei and Duo untangle themselves (read: Wufei shoves Duo (with a little more force than necessary) off him and into the KO'd Pinky). Duo scowls and hauls himself to his feet, one hand massaging his poor abused scalp. `Itai...bastard Wuffers, that deserves “special attention” when this is over. Now, lets see...Tro and Orange and Wuffers seem to be at a standstill; plenty of throws but no hits, hmm...Quat and Sharingan kid are dead-locked. Heh heh, kid doesn't know not to fuck with Q-ball's emotions...Oh lookie! ZERO wants to play! Poor dumb bastard...NOT! S'okay, Hee-chan...ooh, not Hee-chan, Soldier boy is out and about. Pfft, gotta do better than that Scarecrow, this is the guy who freefalls from 20 stories and a cliff sans parachute and sets his own leg with a wrench afterwards. Of course, Scarecrow has the same freakishly masochistic aura under than nonchalant attitude. Well, maybe not quite that bad. But still!,' He shakes his head angrily with a low growl and slits his eyes to analyze the field for a few more moments. He was so concentrated on his task he missed the approaching chakra signatures. `This is just getting flippin' ridiculous! Come on, we're tied with a Scarecrow and three munchkins. Hells, I think they're still Genin! That's just -- (following rant cut due to threat of rating bump) -- up! Well, I already blew my cover once, may as well take out the last shreds with a bang!' A wide Shinigami tinged fox grin spreads across his face and an evilly impish gleam highlights his violet depths. He summons his chakra and his hands flash into a familiar cross.
“Kage Bushin no Jutsu!”
