A Knight?s Tale
Chapter 1: An Enchanted World
Once upon a time, in an enchanted land far, far away, a beautiful kingdom ruled the known world. Everyone lived in peace and prosperity, and they were happy.. The king reigned for many years bringing justice to the land, and keeping his kingdom strong.
Many years had passed and the good king was ill. His daughter, the only remaining member of the family, was next in line to wear the crown. But the princess was not married, she must have a king by her side. She lived in a castle witch that stood on a hill in front of a great capital named, Williamsburg. On the other side of this towering castle was a great lake. On the shore, a soldier sat staring at the waves. It was Heero.. one of the guards at the castle sworn by blood to protect the king and his daughter. He sat on the shore relaxing. The waves strong but gentle as they washed over the white sands. The water crystal clear as the setting sun glimmered across the lake. It was a beautiful sight.. On the highest tower, the princess watched this soldier on the shore. The princess was of perfect body and beautiful hair. She wore a beautiful blue dress made of silk that rippled in the winds. It was Relena, she gazed at this man with wonder. He was the only man who ever sat on the shore, he could sit there for hours, staring at the waves.. Watching him she felt something she never felt before. A feeling that radiated from the very essence of her soul.
Heero continued to stare until his senses stirred. It was coming from above, he started to turn when another soldier came to him and said, ?Heero..? Heero turned to see it was his friend, Trowa. Trowa: ?Heero, its time. We?re leaving for the party.? Heero: ?Thanks, lets go.?
Relena didn?t hear what they said, but she saw them leave, but when they were out of sight, she felt an emptiness she couldn?t explain. Taking a breath, she left the balcony that lead into her lavish room. She rang the servants? bell and two maids came to the door. Relena: ?Hilde, Catherine, fetch my robe and some tea please.? They nodded and left. Another maid named Dorothy appeared from the hall and said, ?The king wishes to see you..? Relena: ?Alright.? Relena left her and walked down the dark hall, somehow she knew this would be a sad visit..
Chapter 2: Old prophet
Heero and Trowa enter the local bar, they left their swords at the door and went to sit. The general was there, his name was Martok. He was a man of wisdom and long years, strong, well built. His hair was almost black and the beard on his face gave him the fierce symbol of authority he always displayed. He was missing an eye and had a huge scar that ran up from where his eye used to be. He circled the bar scrutinizing his subordinates when he saw Heero and Trowa entered. Martok: ?Ah! Heero, Trowa! Welcome. Order what you want, the drinks are on the house!? The bar bursted into cheers hailing General Martok. Heero and Trowa nodded and sat down. The local sheriff walked in and said, ?Heero, Trowa, good to see ya again!? Heero: ?Hello Duo.? Trowa: ?What?s up.? Duo: ?Well, I heard there was a party in the king?s honor, so I came.? Another soldier sitting at the bar said, ?Good luck, you?ll need it to stay sober for the night.? Duo: ?What do you want waffle?? Wufei: ?Its Wufei.? Duo: ?Sorry.? Wufei: ?Shouldn?t you be out on duty?? Duo: ?The deputy is covering for me.? Martok: ?Ah Duo, welcome, you are an officer of the king, join us!? Duo: ?Sure, thanks.? Trowa: ?You can sit with us if you like.? Duo: ?Great! Bartender, drinks for me and my friends!? Bartender: ?What?ll ya have?? Duo: ?Scotch.? Trowa: ?Whisky.? Heero: ?Water..? Duo and Trowa stared at Herro for a moment. Heero just stared at his water, a wave of despair washed him over into a silent state. He had no one to turn to for his problems, not even his friends. Everyone enjoyed themselves telling stories and drinking to the king until an old man came through the door. He dropped his cane and ran towards the general. Heero caught him and said, ?Calm down, what?s the matter?? Old man: ?I must speak with the general, it is urgent!? Martok: ?Then speak up, what?s the matter?? Old man: ?General, they?re coming!? Martok: ?Calm yourself man, who is coming?? The old man held his breath for a moment, then, in a slow release he said, ?Dragons..? The entire bar went silent. Martok: ?How do you know this?? Old man: ?In a dream, I saw them. It was because they were defeated, they?re returning for revenge!? Martok: ?Duo.. take this man to the doctor, he?s not feeling well.? Duo got up and took his arm, the old man shook it off and said, ?I am in perfect health, you should be more concerned about the HELL that is about to befall us!? ?You old fool..? Martok muttered, ?get him out of my sight!? Duo: ?Come on, don?t make me use force.? Duo took him by the arm again and walked him out. They reached the door and the old man stopped and said, ?If you don?t act now, we?ll all be doomed.? And with that, they walked out.
Chapter 3: Pure Evil
Heero sat back and looked at General Martok who was starring at his drink. He spotted a gleam of pure terror in his eye. Wufei: ?Tell us general, what is a dragon?? Martok: ?Pure.. evil.? An elderly soldier said, ?They are horrid creatures.. many years ago, there was a great swarm of hundreds of these large creatures.? A man next to him says, ?Large.. there is no word to describe how huge they were.? Martok: ?They were enormous creatures.. born of evil. They were the reason the word monster exists. As children of evil, they were given the gifts hell?s flames that swelled within they?re bellies. Eighteen years ago, a swarm of dragons terrorized all that lived below, apparently going wherever the wind took them. One day, they headed towards the castle, we could tell by the stench that lasted for days before they came.? First man: ?But we were prepared.. that?s why the walls are ten feet thick and have blades as tall as men on the roofs.? Martok: ?At least we thought we were prepared..
Memory
?Martok! Get out there, protect your king!? Martok: ?Captain, sir!? The lowly soldier ran out into the courtyard. The setting sun was almost eclipsed by the hundreds of dragons flying towards the castle. A soldier running by shouts, ?Captain, our decoys have been ambushed, the king is trapped here!? Captain: ?Damn! Very well, gunners, take aim and fire! My brethren, prepare for combat and may honor.. guide you. Martok drew his sword and the rest followed suit. Large bows were pulled back by mechanical cranes. On them soldiers loaded bundles of arrows that looked like point tipped bullets. The bundles were loaded, a officer stood up and said, ?Captain, we?re ready!? Captain: ?Fire!? The bows were released, a spray of arrows flew into the swarm. Seconds later, dragons started dropping like flies. Another volley is fired, but the dragons reach the castle. They began to circle the castle and rain down hell hot flames on courtyards below. The soldiers and gunners covered themselves with their shields witch protected them from the fire. The dragons proved themselves cunning and land in the courtyards. Those still in the air went after the gunners. They begin eating the soldiers, the gunners fire another volley at dragons still in the air, but one dragon grabs a gun right off its base and drops it into the yard. Captain: ?All gunners, get down, help the soldiers!? Martok was doing his best trying not to be eaten, everywhere he turned, there were jaws and claws eager for his blood. The soldiers were losing, their blades weren?t long enough to reach the eternal organs. Martok looked at the captain for orders when a gun was dropped right on top of him. As soon as his second in command yells orders, a dragon bites him in half. In an attempt to save the others in higher rank, Martok raises his sword and shouts, ?I have command!? Two dragons turn and fly strait for him. One lowers its head to take off and Martok throws his sword into its brain killing it. Martok puts his shield in front of him, but it does no good. The claws pierce to shield and Martok lets go letting the beast carry his shield off. Martok stands to his feet, he notices out of the corner of his eye a thunderstorm of pitch black clouds and heavy rain. A soldier runs to him and says, ?Sir, what do we do?? Martok: ?Tell everyone to arm themselves with bows and arrows.? Soldier: ?Sir?? Martok: ?We have been given a gift from God.? The storm was now settling over the castle, the soldiers poured arrows into the swarm until every dragon had arrows in them. The thunder became deafening over the noise of the battle. Martok: ?All hands retreat!? The soldiers did so, as Martok was running away, a dragon?s claw grazed his face, witch left the gruesome scar. A soldier running by grabbed him and drug him to safety. There was nothing to terrorize, so the dragons took to the skies. When they did, they were struck by lightning. Both the castle and the city was illuminated by the massive display of lightning. Afterwards, a different kind of thunder could be heard, it was the sound of falling dragons..
Martok: ?Ha haaa.. there were piles of corpses laying in the courtyard, others laid in the fields around the castle, and the banks of the great lake rose over a foot. The bodies were piled and people came from near and far to celebrate. The bodies were incinerated, and we danced around the flames like the savages of the south. I was made a general and achieved instant fame as the Dragon Slayer.. the only things that remained of that day was this scar, and the bones that are resting at the bottom of the lake.? Heero was done, he got up and left before anyone else did. Down the road, Duo walking by asked, ?Hey Heero, where you goin?? Heero: ?Home.? Duo: ?May I join you?? Heero: ?No.? After that, Heero walked home.
Chapter 4: The Rich Man
Heero woke from his sleep, he stretched and got up. He was crossing his bedroom when a sound blasted into the room from the window. Heero pulled his sword and aimed it at the evil burst of noise only to see it was his rooster. Heero put the sword away and said, ?You?re late again.. otta have you for supper tonight.? Heero gave the chicken his death glare and the chicken took off. Heero: ?Stupid bird.?
Heero was walking down the street to the castle. The street was busy as usual with bustling crowds and merchants eager to sell the same old worthless trinkets. Walking down the street, Heero bumped into a traveler. The traveler turns and says, ?I?m sorry, I wasn?t looking where I was going.? Heero: ?Its alright.? upon inspecting him, Heero realizes who the traveler is. Traveler: ?Your are soldier are you not? Could you help me?? Heero: ?And you are Quatre, the man who does most of the major business in the city, yes I?ll help, what?s the matter?? Quatre: ?Ah! How did you know who I was?!? Heero: ?The fine shoes, the hands, and the hair.? Quatre: ?Oh. I haven?t paid my taxes yet, and I have a lot of money. The Sheriff was supposed to escort me, but he?s nowhere to be found.? Heero: ?Probably sobering with that maid of his. Yes, I?ll escort you to the castle.?
Chapter 5: The King is Dead
Relena woke from bed, when she got dressed, a maid came to her door. She hadn?t seen this maid before.. Her hair was dark blonde and wore a necklace with a crucifix. Relena had never seen this maid in the castle, or anywhere else for that matter. Relena: ?Yes, what is it?? Maid: ?Its your father, you need to go see him.? Relena: ?You mean go to see the king right?? Maid: ?Yes, my apologies.? The maid turned to leave when Relena caught her and said, ?Maid? What is your name?? Maid: ?Middi.. Middi Une.? Relena: ?I hope to see you again.? Middi said nothing, she left the room and disappeared down the hall. Putting her aside, Relena ran to the king?s room. When she got there, the doctor walked out. He caught Relena and said, ?There was nothing I could do, the king is dead, I?m sorry.? Relena: ?I want to see him, let me through!? The doctor let her go, Relena ran into the king?s room.. All throughout the halls of the great castle could Relena?s cry be heard.. The king is dead..
Heero and Quatre had now left the city and were making they?re way to the castle. Quatre: ?There?s the castle.. say, what?s your name?? Heero: ?Heero, I?m a guard in the castle.? Quatre: ?Heero.. do you smell something?? Heero: ?Huh..? Heero sensed that something was different, that something had gone terribly wrong, but he didn?t smell anything. Suddenly, the bells at the castle rang all at once then paused. A few moments later, the clock tower bell went off and didn?t stop ringing. Quatre turned to look at the city and said, ?Why are the bells ringing like this?? Quatre turned around to see Heero running off. A couple other soldiers came running from the city. One with black eyes ran right passed him, Quatre tried to chase him, but he was to fast. The other soldier caught up and Quatre said, ?Hey I know you, your Trowa right? What?s going on?? Trowa: ?The king is dead.? Quatre slowed down until he came to a stop. ?Dead?? He turned to look behind him when he saw the Sheriff running towards him. Quatre: ?Duo, where have you been?? Duo: ?Sorry Quatre, I had trouble getting out of bed.? Quatre ran with Duo up to the castle gates.
Trowa got to the gate when he saw a maid leaving. He stopped, grabbed the maid and said, ?Where do you think you?re going, the king is dead.? The maid lifted her head and Trowa saw who it was. ?Middi..? Middi: ?I see our paths have crossed again, do you still hate me?? Trowa: ?I don?t know, you?ve done things that can?t be forgiven..? Middi kissed his forehead and whispered, ?Maybe some other time..? Quatre ran by and Duo grabbed Trowa and said, ?Come on, we gotta go!? Trowa gave her one last look goodbye and ran off with Duo. Middi turned, and left..
Chapter 6: Evil Knows No Bounds
A few days later, a service was held for the good king. The princess, the general, the soldiers, the sheriff, the rich man, and the maids stood in their respective places as the good king who had ruled for a long time was buried in the royal cemetery. Relena stood alone in her place, no one was there to comfort her, or love her in this time of sorrow. This weighed heavily on Heero?s heart. Tears rolled down Relena?s almost frozen and dripping on her blue dress as the king?s body was lowered into the ground. He was gone forever, she?ll have to rule this kingdom, and she was going to have to square with that for the rest of her life. Quatre?s heart was also saddened, but there is something bothering him. He moves over to Duo and says, ?Hey.. do you smell that?? Duo: ?Smell what?? Quatre: ?I don?t know.. its unlike anything I?ve ever smelled, its awful..? Duo: ?Yea.. yea.. I smell it to..? Wufei: ?What are you two talking about, the king is dead.. this isn?t the time for chit-chat.? Duo: ?Hey.. do you smell that.? Wufei: ?Smell what?? Wufei took a big smell and said, ?What is that?? Wufei: ?Heero, there is something that smells bad, we can?t have it disrupt the funeral, go check it out.? General Martok noticed the disturbance when he finally caught a whiff of it. When the smell registered in his brain he gasped. Martok: ?All soldiers, on guard!? A dragon bursted through the wall that Martok was standing in front of and knocked him on the ground. A piece of debris flew by knocked him unconscious. Dragons jumped over all the walls surrounding the courtyard, they began to feast on the soldiers and maids. Hilde, Catherine, and Dorothy ducked and crawled into the servant?s corridor where they hid. ?Protect the princess!? someone shouted. Relena backed away form one of the dragons, a few soldiers gathered in front of her and the dragon snapped them all in half leaving Relena defenseless. The dragon used the back of its claw to knock her to the ground. Relena came to and stared right in the dragon?s eye. Dragon: ?My condolences.. to the princess..? The dragon opened its mouth wide.. then dropped to the ground dead with a sword in its skull. Heero ran to Relena and picked her up. He handed her to Trowa who carried her to an exit. Heero saw Martok on the ground unhurt and called Wufei. Heero: ?Help me with the general!? They hulled the general to the exit where Relena was. The dragons started blocking the exits, and feasted on anything that moved. Heero and Wufei almost made it, but dragon swooped down on them. Heero saw it first and pushed the general and Wufei out of the way. The Dragon came in, Heero tried to fall to the ground, but the claw caught his side and shoulder. Trowa came out and dragged Heero to safety. Relena said, ?We?re safe!? Wufei: ?Not yet, lets go! Trowa, Carry the general, I?ll carry Heero.?
The five ran down the hall where they meet up with Duo and Quatre. Duo helped Trowa with General Martok, and Quatre helped with Heero. Through the walls they ran until a dragon broke right through the wall separating Heero and Relena from the others. Duo pulled is sword and tossed it over the dragon?s head landing it in its brain. Relena gathered her strength and carried Heero down the hall. All around outside were the tortured cries of those less fortunate. Another dragon bursted through behind Relena.. knocked to the ground, Relena saw the roof collapsing. She picked up Heero and ran down the hall. The roof fell on its head and the beast jerked out of the hole shaking its head. The debris cut Wufei, Trowa, and Martok form the others, they went into a basement below and continued along. Duo and Quatre were forced to run the other way, they met with the maids. Hilde and Duo lunged and embraced each other. Duo: ?Hilde!? Hilde: ?Duo!? Duo: ?I thought I lost you!? Hilde: ?So did I.? Quatre: ?Do any of you know a way out of here?? Dorothy: ?This hall leads to the armory, its deep in the ground.? Duo: ?Great, lets go there.? Catherine: ?Quatre, do you know of what has happened to Trowa?? Quatre: ?We got separated, but I?m sure he?s fine.? Catherine nodded and they ran down the hall.
Wufei, Trowa, and Martok got to the debris witch blocked their way. Wufei: ?Great, now where do we go?? Martok said through a groggy voice, ?That door.. to the right, it leads to an old dragon bunker for soldiers. There?s weapons and ammunition down there.? Trowa: ?Good, let?s go there.? Wufei and Trowa carried Martok the stairs to the bunker.
Relena carried Heero into the castle, running down the halls, through the throne room and to the highest point of the castle.. (her room) Relena laid Heero on the bed and took off the armor. She tore of his shirt and saw the wound. Relena: ?Oh my God!? Heero: ?Its only a flesh wound, I?ll be fine.? Relena: ?A flesh wound! Half your side?s ripped out!? Heero: ?I?m fine, we have to find the General.? Heero started to get up but Relena forced him on the bed. ?Stop!? she cried, ?That is an order from your princess! Do you have to be so stubborn?! Heero: ?Yes princess, I?ll stay here. But I must object, we must find the General.? Relena: ?You can object all you want, but that wound needs treated, now hold still.? Heero nodded and Relena started tearing his shirt. Heero arched up for her and said, ?Are you sure we?ll be safe here?? Relena: ?The walls here are thicker than anywhere else and the castle is designed to handle a lot of stress. We?ll be safe here.? Heero: ?For a princess, you know a lot about the castle.? Relena: ?I do..? Relena paused, making no effort to hide her discomfort, ?I have to know these things.. so I can rule.? Heero: ?You don?t want to rule, do you?? Relena continued wrapping, ?No, I don?t, but my country needs me. What?s worse I?m under a lot of pressure to find a husband now that my father?s dead. I know I sound silly, I?m sorry.? Heero: ?That?s alright, I can understand. I know what its like to have no one to talk to. Both my parents died shortly after I was born.? Relena: ?How?? Relena finished wrapping the wound and sat up. Heero: ?They were killed..? Relena: ?By whom?? Heero looked out the window, ?By them.? Relena looked out the window and saw the dragons soaring in the skies towards the mountains. Heero: ?They came to my village, nobody thought that dragons would attack it.? Relena: ?What is your name? Soldier. I feel like we?ve met somewhere.? Heero: ?Heero Yuy, and we have met.. I?m the soldier on the banks of the lake.? Relena: ?You knew I was watching you?? Herro: ?I?m not a soldier for nothing.? Relena blushed for minute. Heero got off the bed and walked over to the window. He looked down into the courtyard and just stared. Relena walked toward the window. When she got came close, Heero held his hand out to keep her from coming any closer. Heero: ?Believe me, you don?t want to see it.? Relena stopped and watched him. Heero: ?A lot of people are dead, there?s no one alive.? Relena went cold, there were over four hundred people in the courtyards. Heero put his hand on her shoulder and said, ?Its nothing we can change, get some rest.? Relena sighed, she went back and collapsed on the bed. Relena: ?I?m tired, carrying you through the castle was a lot if work, not that you?re heavy.? Heero walked over to the balcony and looked over the lake. Heero: ?It?ll be sunset soon, I suggest you get ready for bed.? Relena: ?Ya, you?re right. So much for my first day of leadership.? Heero turned and stared strait at her. Heero: ?You did better than any other king I knew.? Heero walked towards the bed. Heero: ?You kept your wits in battle, that?s not something that very many people can do without training, and you saved a soldier?s life. I say you did better.? Relena: ?Thank you. Over there on the couch, you can sleep there..? Heero: ?I won?t be sleeping.? Relena: ?What?!? Heero: ?Some one has to protect you. I?ve been through sleepless nights before, I?ll be fine.? Heero pulled a chair next to the bed. Relena got under the covers and rested on the pillow. Heero watched her for a minute. Relena: ?Herro.. how will we ever defeat those dragons?? Heero: ?The same way we did it before.. We kill them.? Relena turned and looked at him. ?We kill them all.?
Chapter 7: All is Lost
Trowa and Wufei walked down the hall. They came to the bunker, it was a fairly big room full of weapons and boxes. Martok walked in behind them. Martok: ?Here we are. The ammunitions bunker. Most of everything is stored here, bows, arrows, black powder, cannon balls, food, water, and even medical supplies. There?s also something here that?s very important. Trowa: ?What?s that?? Martok: ?My special wine I?ve kept here since I was a soldier. The vintage is the year I became a general.. The day I thought I had seen the last of those honorless bastards.? General Martok poured a cup. Martok: ?They truly did come from hell.? Trowa: ?Those dragons could have been the offspring of the old ones.? Martok: ?I see you all decided to cower here. You even brought some friends to keep us company.? Duo, Quatre, Hilde, Dorothy, and Catherine walked in through the door. Hilde: ?Don?t expect any sympathy from me. They were supposed to be all dead.? Martok raised his cup to Hilde and said, ?Ahh.. yes, here?s to failure.. and those cursed monsters.? and drank. Quatre: ?The question remains.. how do we kill them?? Catherine: ?Can?t we use all these weapons to kill those.. what are they?? Martok: ?Gifts from the Devil himself, dragons..? Duo: ?Its not that simple. The only vital part of their bodies that any of these weapons could get is its brain.? Dorothy: ?We?ve gota find a way to kill them. We can?t just let them roam all over the world to reek havoc.? Wufei: ?Its kind of odd that they would attack right the king dies.? Martok: ?Yes.. yes.. its to much coincidence that they appear like this.? Trowa: ?And I think I know why.? The others looked at him curiously. Trowa: ?A girl I used to know was here at the castle. I saw her shortly after the king died. She pretended to be a maid.. General, do you remember an uprising a few years ago?? Martok: ?Yes. There was a terrorists? group lead by a man only known as Zechs Marquise. Once I had found their base, I had them eradicated, but Zechs escaped, his body was never found.? Trowa: ?You sent a spy to infiltrate them..? Martok: ?Middi.. How would you know about that?? Trowa: ?They rescued me.? Wufei: ?Scintillating. We still got to kill those dragons.? Hilde: ?Don?t worry, we?ll think of something, isn?t that right honey?? Duo: ?Absolutely, I?m sure we?ll think of something.? Wufei: ?Like what?? Martok: ?Enough! Lets all get some sleep, we have a long day ahead of us.? After Martok?s quick end to the conversation, the rest pulled out their beds. Duo wrapped around Hilde to keep her warm, Quatre, Trowa, Dorothy, Catherine, and Martok climbed in their separate beds and went to sleep.
Chapter 8: A Promise
?You have failed us all!? cried someone?s voice. Relena turned to see who it was. She found herself in the courtyards surrounded by dead people. Soldiers, maids, politicians, people from the city, people she knew, all bloodied and missing various ligaments. Bodies mutilated and festered, flies everywhere. They all stared, blaming her. Hilde: ?I thought you cared about us, you said you?d take care of us, YOU PROMISED US!? Relena: ?I?m so sorry, I..? Martok:?Do not make excuses for yourself coward! We trusted you, we depended on you.? Duo: ?And what did it get us? I?ve lost my wife, and now I?m dead!? Relena: ?I?m sorry, I know I never wanted to rule this kingdom, but I knew that I had to, and nothing would change that. So I ruled the best I knew to do. The way I was taught!? Wufei: ?The best you knew?? Martok: ?The king taught you better than this. It is your fault and your fault alone! It is your fault! Your fault! Your fault! Your fault..? Soon the crowd was in an uproar chanting; your fault. Your fault! Your fault! Your fault! Relena fell to her knees screaming, ?I?m sorry! I?m so sorry!? Tears fell from her face onto the ground mixing with the blood. The crowd broke its chant and began to roar with mixed voices of thousands of people screaming at her and blaming for the pain all around her. On of them grabbed her by the shoulder and started to shake her. A voice began cutting through the crowd?s roar calling to Relena. ?Princess!? Relena: ?No..? Heero: ?Relena!?
Relena: ?NO!? Relena jumped screaming off the bed and onto the floor. Heero ran around and knelt by her side. Relena cried curling into a fetal position shaking and mumbling apologies. For a moment, Heero watched.. for the first time in a long time, his heart warmed and softened from its icy cold state. He gently put his hand on her shoulder and said, ?Princess?? Relena: ?I?m so sorry. I?ll never.. I?ll never fail again..? When Heero spoke again, he heard his voice soften. Heero: ?Relena.. its all right.? Relena opened her eyes and looked at Heero. She sat up clinging onto Heero, her head over his shoulder. Heero tensed at Relena?s actions, but soon he relaxed and held her in his arms. The heat from his skin began to sooth Relena though her fairly thin nightgown. She took a deep breath and sat back. Heero: ?You had a bad dream, are you alright?? Relena clung to him again and said, ?Heero.. this has been so hard for me, I?ve been so wrapped up in what I had to do. I?ve had no time for comforts or anything but the task ahead of me, seeing you on the shore, was the only thing that kept me going. I always felt good about myself, strong and confident.? Heero: ?I know.. I guess I always knew you were watching me. I felt the strength you drew from me.? Relena: ?Heero, do you believe in fate.. you know, like.. being meant for each other?? Heero sat Relena back and put his hand on her cheek. Heero: ?I do now..? Heero leaned forward and gave Relena a little kiss. He sat back waiting for her response. Relena leaned and kissed Heero back. Relena sat back and Heero kissed again, but more deeply, more passionately. In those few moments something sparked between them, an uncontrollable force of nature, no.. pure lust, a need to fulfill their desires for each other, maybe.. or perhaps, it was a feeling.. a simple feeling, this simple feeling was powerful, but gentle, strong, but weak at the same time.. this simple feeling.. was love. Heero brought her in closer, kissing her , savoring a moment that will forever be frozen in his mind, in their minds. Heero removed his sandals and threw them aside. Relena did the same with her slippers. Heero began to untie Relena?s robe, but she held his hands and moved them away. She began to untie her robe, but more slowly, and seductively. She undressed her obstructing garment and put it to the side. They held each other for a moment kissing, every moment heightening their sensitivity. Heero untied his pants and took them off. Relena undid her bra, after that Heero and Relena started taking off the rest of their clothes. With every piece of fabric being removed, it was as if they were shedding their defenses to draw strength and comfort from each other. They were on the bed in each other?s arms, Relena explored, kissing his arms, his chest, his stomach, noting every angle, every bulge, the firmness of his skin. She skipped over his waist and slid her hands down his legs, feeling the muscles there. She came back up to gaze at his persian-blue eyes. Heero rolled her over and started to explore her the same way. Going up her arms and to her breast. He gave special attention to that area going around the edges and into her valley kissing all the way. Heero came to her nipples and sucked one a little. Relena moaned and arched of the bed a little. After giving the other the same attention to the other side, he worked his way down her stomach, kissing her navel, sliding his hands down her legs the same way. Heero looked towards Relena waiting for one last approval. When she nodded, gently, carefully, Heero explored her sensitive folds, Relena arched and moaned as her body heat began to rise. He lazily circled around the entrance flicking the sensitive nub each time around throwing Relena with eyes closed into a whole new world of pleasure and sensation she never felt before. The sensation started to fade.. Relena opened her eyes to see Heero face to face, positioned over her. They both put their hands on their cheeks and Heero said, ?Tell me you love me..? Relena: ?I love you..? Heero slowly entered her, Relena shifted around, allowing herself to adjust and expand. She completely arched off the bed and cried out. Heero moaned as he completely entered her, Relena relaxed, allowing herself to adjust and accommodate the large shaft the had penetrated her. Slowly, Heero pulled almost all the way out, and then reentered. Relena stayed arched off the bed, she moaned and cried as Heero picked up the pace. Heero speed up to almost inhuman speeds, building for the release. At last, they came to a climax, the two lovers cried as they came to together. They laid in that bed for what seemed like eternity, in a world of bliss, in a world of love. Heero gently pulled out, and rolled on his side. Relena took a deep breath, Heero kissed her forehead and said, ?I love you.? Relena: ?I love you too. I want you to know that, I promise I will always love you no matter what. I won?t let anyone down ever again, I promise.? Heero ran his hand over her hair and said, ?I know.. we better get some rest.? Relena: ?Goodnight.. Heero.? Relena rolled onto her side, but the voices returned.. until Heero wrapped his arms around her, the voices faded and she fell asleep.
Chapter 9: Lost Brother
Trowa walked down the stairs and said, ?Wake up everybody, its morning and there?s something happening in the mountains.? The others start to wake up. Quatre stretched and stared at all the weapons. Quatre: ?General Martok?? Martok: ?What?s the matter?? Quatre: ?I have an idea..?
Wufei walks through the throne room looking around for where Heero and Relena may be. Just then, the two come through one of the doors and Wufei says, ?Where the hell have you been Heero, we all thought your were dead along with the princess.? Relena: ?Silence yourself, how dare you speak in such a manner!? Duo: ?Hey, Wufei you found them! Listen, the General has a plan, but we need all the help we can get.? Heero: ?Let?s go then.?
The four run into the armory where Martok and the others are hauling and rolling barrels to one side of the room. Relena: ?What are you doing!?? Martok: ?Your Highness!? Martok stopped rolling his barrel, ran, and knelt at Relena?s feet. Martok: ?Queen Peacecraft, as a soldier of the kingdom, I pledge my undying oath by the very blood I swore by to protect you, I remain yours forever.? The other soldiers and the Duo stopped and knelt before her. They stood up and Martok said, ?Heero, why haven?t you knelt?? Heero was about to speak when Relena said, ?He has already pledged his oath to me.? Martok: ?Very well then, Heero! Give us a hand, we need to move the explosives over to that wall, a little welcoming gift for our friends out there.? Relena: ?I?ll help.? Martok: ?Your Highness, you-? Relena spins to face Martok, she gives him a fierce glare and says, ?I?ll help.? Relena walks over to the barrels and starts rolling. Martok smiles and Quatre walks over and looks at him curiously. Martok: ?She may appear weak, but within beats the heart of a warrior, rejoice Quatre, the kingdom is in good hands.?
The dragons march towards the castle. They walk on the road with the city behind them in ruins. In front, two mysterious figures lead them to the crumbled walls of the castle. Middi following behind them. Depressed in her soul.
The survivors, Heero, Duo, Trowa, Quatre, Wufei, and Martok, stand to face the dragons in the courtyards. The woman stand behind them, watching the horrid creatures approach. They watch, hoping for the best, hoping they don?t lose their loved ones. Relena stares at them, watching, waiting, hoping the strength within her does not flee.
The dragons enter the courtyard and stop behind the figures. Realizing there were people among the moving masses, Martok said, ?Who are you?? Figure: ?Your old foe, Martok..? The two figures stepped out of the dragon?s shadows and everyone gasped. It was Zechs and Noin. Noin: ?Did you really think we were dead?? Martok: ?I had hopped so, but even I am surprised that you would ally yourselves with these devils, you are cowards. And you are a traitor, Middi.? Middi: ?Please General, I did what had to be done, my father is dead now, and my family is poor and sick.? Relena: ?You?re.. you?re the maid who I saw the day father died.? Noin: ?We have her to thank for that.? Middi: ?What! You mean I.. you said I was to just report his condition!? Zechs: ?You were wrong, now go. Your family is taken care of.? Middi: ?No!? Middi ran towards Noin when dragon grabbed her with its claw. Noin: ?Don?t harm her, get rid of her.? The dragon took off and left Middi in the city, then returned. Martok: ?No matter what you do, you will never conquer this kingdom.? Zechs: ?Conquer it, I never conquered anything, I am taking what I have claim to.? Heero: ?What?? Zechs: ?Zechs.. it was just a name to keep my supporters from knowing my identity.. I am the king?s son, your brother, Relena.? Relena: ?That?s not possible!? Martok: ?It is, as a young man, he was banished for killing one of the kings soldiers. Over something he claimed the soldier stole. Zechs: ?I am Milliardo Peacecraft.? Martok: ?That title no longer belongs to you.. you were cast out nameless, Zechs is your only name now.? Zechs: ?Not anymore, I?m reclaiming that title.? Relena: ?You?ll never have it.? Zechs looked up at her for moment surprised. He smiled and said, ?And what are you going to do about it?? Relena: ?Not me.. him.? Heero put his leg up, Zechs looked over at him. For an instant, Heero?s foot hovered over a brick that was sticking out of the floor. Zechs: ?You..? Heero stomped on the brick and fires engulfed the dragons. Zechs looked behind him and saw Noin falling, a stunned look on her face. Anger swelled within him and Zechs pulled out his sword charged toward Relena. They were running into the castle, Relena ran in with Heero last and right behind her. He looks behind and sees Zechs charging out of the flames. Heero pulls out his sword and runs toward Zechs, Relena turns and says, ?Heero! No!? And she runs after him. Noin runs out of the flames crying: ?Zechs! Don?t die!? Heero and Zechs charge towards each other, each moving for the final blow. Zechs swings first, but Heero blocks it and stabs Zechs in the heart. With the last of his dying strength, Zechs presses the side of his blade into Heero?s wound sinking it in halfway. Heero cries in pain and falls to the ground. Relena comes up and kneels by Heero?s side calling to him. Her cries are interrupted by Noin?s over Zechs? dead body. Relena bends over Heero and calls to him. Heero manages to crack his eyes enough to see Relena?s face eclipsing the sun. Heero: ?Relena..? Relena: ?Heero, hold on!? Heero struggles to speak, but the blood loss overwhelms him and Heero loses consciousness, hearing Relena calling his name fades and echoes into the distance.
In a hospital, Heero?s friends stand around his bed, Relena holding his hand, tears rolling down her face. She?s felt like she?s lost something dear to her, like a part of her is missing. At last, so sudden, so powerful, but subtle. Heero gripped Relena?s hand slightly. Relena gasped and held his hand with both of hers. Heero gathered his strength and said her name. Martok put his hand on his shoulder and said, ?We did it Heero, the dragons are dead, and it thanks to you.? Heero nodded and everyone but Relena left the room. Relena leaned over and said, ?I thought I lost you, are you alright.? Heero: ?I will be.? Heero: ?Relena.. will.. you marry me?? Almost without any hesitation, Relena said, ?Yes.. yes, I will..?
Heero and Relena married, in one of the largest weddings ever held. They lived happily ever after, everyone followed their path, becoming what they were destined to be. They all lived happily, even Noin and Middi, in the end.
This story, was not about terrorists, or betrayal, or dragons. It was about a feeling, a simple feeling. Love. Love between man and woman, and how they prevailed. This fairy tale has come to an end, Love prevailed..

Criticgundam: ?Makeup, we?re going to need a wig!?
The cast is in makeup getting set up, Duo and Hilde are setting up for another prank.
Heero and Relena sit in chairs side by side. Duo and Hilde push the artists out of the way. Unknowingly, Heero and Relena are decorated by Duo and Hilde. They finish and parade them all around the whole set in different directions. They bring them together and run away.
Relena: ?Heero! You look a clown!? Heero: ?So.. do..? Heero turns and looks and Duo and Hilde running away. ?You.. He will pay.? Relena: ?Count me in. Hilde is dead meat.?
Hilde, Dorothy, Catherine, Middi, and Wufei?s girlfriend, Maggie, were all in a tent having a slumber party. Outside, Relena, Quatre, and Wufei were sneaking up to the tent. Quatre looks at Wufei with the camera and says, ?What we have here is a prop from the movie. It?s the dragonhead that bursts through to the wall. But Freddy here is going to burst through a tent instead. :evil: ?
*The three scoot the head up the tent.* *The girls inside laugh and talk, painting their nails, yakin about guys, Hilde?s jokes in particular, suddenly, the head comes through the tent opening its mouth and roaring. The girls scream and run out of the tent* *Quatre, Wufei, and Relena on her knees laugh as the girls run and scream in terror. they calm down, they see the three and give chase, camera turns off.*
Criticgundam gives the final word on the story, and everyone celebrates at the camp. Heero walks around sipping his pop, Duo comes up and says, ?Hey Heero, we?re cool right?? Heero: ?Sure, you know I can?t hate you forever.? Duo: ?Great, come on, I?ll get ya a beer!? Duo and Heero put their arms over each other?s shoulders and walk off. Heero: ?Duo, about all those pranks you played on me..? Duo: ?Ya, I did pretty good, didn?t I?? Heero puts Duo into a headlock and says, ?Yup, you sure did.?
*Heero drags Duo off to the side out of view.. shaver turns on..*
Duo: ?NOT THE HAIR! Not the hair, dear God, not the hair!?
*Visual turns off with the sound of a shaver cutting hair.*
Duo: *Screams in pure horror*
The End
Commentary (If your interested)
Ya ya ya, I know the stories long, but it?s a classic. I thought I?d start off with something simple. (basically, you know, castles, dragons, princesses, you get the drift) This is also my very first lemon, I?ve written sci-fi and some other stuff, but none of them had lemons. I do best with action, so please tell me how well I did with the action. My friends tell me I write the best action opposed to the other writers.
The bloopers was just a way for to throw in some Heero torture. Oh yes, the whole Zechs being a terrorist and getting run through was kinda my way seeing what I think ?gundam? fans would of liked to see at the end of the series.
