Embracing the Light and Darkness

Part 7

by Quatre Raberba Winner



Heero's party ran into the main room. The Japanese pilot looked around with Duo right behind him.
 

Trowa knelt down and set Quatre on the floor and held his upper body. The blond opened his eyes half way, "Trowa"
 

"Shhh close your eyes and rest."
 

He shut them again, "Be careful"
 

"What makes you think there is a way to seal that power?" Duo asked
 

Heero stopped and pondered that thought, "I don't know"
 

A miniature laser gun on the far corner of the left wall was monitoring the room. The longhaired boy looked up, "A laser gun cool." He continued to walk, then suddenly stopped. "A lasergun?" he looked at Quatre and Trowa, "Get out of the way!!!"
 

The laser from the gun was released and was headed for the two pilots on the floor.
 

"Winds of protection!"
 

A wind barrier formed around the two boys and disintegrated the beam. Trowa looked behind himself, "WuFei!"
 

WuFei and Celes ran into the room. The winged female knelt beside the wounded blond. She shut her eyes and held her hands over the injury, "Winds of Healing"
 

A cool green breeze settled on Quatre's chest. She looked into Trowa's eye, "I healed the injury, but he'll still have the side effects from the black wing. He'll basically feel like he has the flu for about a week, so just take care of him."
 

Heero walked up to her and grabbed her arm, "Why don't you heal the illness too?"
 

She struggled under Heero's grip and the more she struggled, the tighter his grip got, "My magic isn't that far advanced. I haven't learned how to heal illness yet Ahhhh, you're hurting me"
 

The Japanese pilot let go of her arm, "This is all your fault, you know."
 

The laser gun was now aimed at Heero. Celes looked up at the gun and fired a ball of energy at it.
 

"Well done, Celes. Now kill them." Treize flicked his wrist as he entered the room.
 

She didn't move. The OZ leader looked at her in confusion, "Why aren't you obeying me?" he looked at her wings, "Your wing is white"
 

"That's right. You no longer have control of me, so I don't have to listen to you, Treize."
 

He let a small smile cross his face, "Come now, Celes. Call me daddy, after all you are my daughter"
 

"I'll never call you anything that is close to the word father because a father is someone who takes care of his kids and you never did that! If anyone has to die it's you! All the pain and suffering you caused all the innocent people here and not to mention what you did to me. You don't deserve to live, you no good bastard!"
 

"Well I'm afraid you're the one who is going to die" he threw the glass orb onto the floor, "Trigon dragon I summon thee!"
 

The orb glowed and shattered. A huge dragon appeared before them. The long banged girl looked at her comrades, "Get out of here! This is my fight"
 

Trowa picked up Quatre and made a mad dash for the hall. Heero and Duo followed.
 

"Don't even think about running away, Treize." WuFei held out his sword
 

Treize smiled, "I except your challenge" he took out his sword.
 

Celes formed a protective barrier around the area she was to be fighting in. The dragon let out powerful breaths of lighting, ice and fire.
She was caught in one of the blasts and fell to the floor.
 

She took out her sword and struggled to get back to her feet, 'I hold the light' She looked at WuFei, who was having problems of his own, 'I hold the light' She thought about the other G-boys, 'Light and darkness' She thought about how kindly WuFei and Quatre
had treated her, "I hold the light and the darkness!"
 

She got to her feet and held the sword in front of her. A mysterious wind started to blow, "Lights of heaven and the flames of hell
I call on the power of light and darkness" A black and purplish mist started to surround the blade of the sword.
"Combine this energy, with the innocence within me
I summon the blood and tears shed by innocence
May all of thy power be stored in my heart
Let it flow from my body to the sword before me" The mist around the blade was jet black. She boosted herself into the air, right above the dragon's head, "Hell's Condemnation!" She brought down her sword and sliced the dragon in half.
 

"It was a good fight, kid, but now I shall take my leave and I'll be after you again, Celes!" he ran off.
 

The barrier vanished and so did the dragon. WuFei put his sword a way and ran towards the fallen girl. He knelt down next to the girl, he lifted her upper body into his arms, "Celes, what happened to you?"
 

"I can summon my powers at will. My wings will only appear when I call on my magic, so as of right now I can be normal." She fell asleep.
 

The Chinese pilot picked her up and walked out of the base.

Three days later
 

Quatre looked at his lover, "Trowa, thanks for taking care of me. I know this is a pain in the butt." He sneezed
 

"I don't mind and bless you."
 

"Trowa," he coughed, "could you get me something to drink?"
 

He smiled, "Sure." He got out of bed and left his room.

Duo awoke from his bed and walked over to Heero's and pulled on his arm ,"Come on, Heero get up! I'm hungry and it's your turn to cook breakfast!"
 

"Duo, this is the one time in my life when I actually want to sleep, so leave me alone!"
 

"Too bad!" he pulled the Japanese pilot out of bed.
 

Heero glared at him from the floor, "Fine, but I'm going to kill you later!" he got to his feet and he and Duo walked down the hall.
 

They stopped at the end of the hallway and saw Trowa peeking around the corner.
 

Duo looked at him, "What are you looking at?"
 

The green eyed boy silently pointed to WuFei and Celes who were standing in front of the door.
 

WuFei smiled at her, "I'm going to miss you. Are you sure you have to leave?"
 

"Yes. I need to find more people like myself. Vampires, sorcerers, whatever, if they join me I'm sure we can make a difference."
 

"I wish you the best, but don't forget you have five friends right here. And you'll" he was silenced by two of her fingers.
 

"Yes and ai shiteru, chibi ryu" she kissed him on the cheek lightly. She pulled away and walked out the door, shutting it behind her.
 

"I love you too" he whispered. He turned around and became face to face with Heero, Duo and Trowa.
 

"I can't believe you let her go like that!" Duo yelled
 

"She had to, but she'll come back."
 

Heero raised an eyebrow, "How can you be so sure of that?"
 

"She has to."
 

"Why's that?" Trowa questioned
 

He smiled, "Because as of now, she's my fiancé" he walked passed them.
 

"Fiancé?!" The braided boy ran over and tackled the salutary dragon
 

WuFei struggled under him, "Get off me Maxwell!!!!!!!!"

Celes looked at the safe house in the distance,
"Forever and always ai shiteru, Wu-Chan"
She continued to walk and thus starting a new chapter in the war of A.C. 195.
