Chapter Six

Skye took a deep breath and sat back in the cockpit of Sunfire. The battle so far had been intense and he had to give it his full attention just to stay alive. He's good, he thought watching as the other gundam floated in space before him, unmoving. He's waiting for me to make the first move, he reflected. Just then the gundam spoke, with a low bass voice that sent shivers down Skye's spine.

"Have you rested enough or do you need a little more time?" it said with a mocking laugh.

Skye bristled and the voice continued:

"I'm surprised that the infamous Sunfire is being winded so easily. Maybe you've gotten soft from meeting slim to no resistance from the demon horde...or maybe you're not as good as rumoured, hmmm?"

Skye snarled and leapt towards the ebony gundam, Sun staff blazing, but the other gundam twisted out of the way. Their vicious battle continued with Skye's Solar Flare(tm) clashing with the demon gundam's Crimson Sting(tm). From far away this spectacle looked like dancing fireflies to the untrained eye. They darted to and fro in the cold of space, both inflicting and sustaining immense damage. Skye cried out in agony as he was hurled against his seat roughly yet again. I can't take much more of this, he told himself, I don't understand why I can't take him out. He's so powerful...AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!

Skye was flung against his console, his head ramming into the hard machinery. The seat harness had broken. He whimpered, shaking his blonde trussed head in an effort to clear the swirling lights. By then it was too late. The demon gundam swung in, pressing his advantage and soon held the Sunfire in a crushing bear hug. Skye screamed as Sunfire sent waves of pain directly into his cerebrum. Being the pilot of the Bio-mech., he was mentally linked to the cybernetic Guardian, allowing him better and more precise control over Sunfire.

This, however, came with a price...he would have to share his central nervous system with the bio-mech therefore share the pain. Skye's mind went white as the shiny metal of Sunfire's exterior was crunched between the gundam's talon like arms. Low and raspy, the demon pilot's voice sneered over the COM:

"Seems that I have you right where I want you! What an easy opponent you are...so weak! I almost feel sorry about killing you?almost. Just a little bitch who thinks he's a hunter. You don't even know what a true hunter is...do you? How disgustingly pitiful of you...to be defeated in such a way. Not even putting up a REAL fight! You little cunt!"

Skye shuddered; no...it...s not true. Please...it can't be true...can it ? He was not sure anymore, there was so much pain.

"How dare you even challenge me?" Damos continued relentlessly, "You and this candy wrapper you call a mobile suit are nothing compared to my Scorpio and me. I AM DAMOS THE MIGHTY! No one can defeat me...much less a little weak prick like you!"

He tightened his grip on Sunfire causing sharp spikes of pain to course through Skye's lean frame. His vision was becoming blurred. Why am I so weak now? I can't even break the hold.

"Heh! Now you will watch as I crush your suit like tin foil. I want you to feel the utter hopelessness and despair of defeat, every last minute of it. I want the last thing on your dying mind to be the ease with which I disposed of you and the loss at knowing that you little pussy friends while die the same as you."

Just then, Skye lurched up from the slow spiral into unconsciousness he was descending. No...my friends! I can't fail them...not now, they need me...I can't desert them. I won't let them down. Tarin...Iria...Duo! I made a promise...and I never break my promises...never...never... NEVER!!!

Skye's eyes narrowed in deep concentration. He was not going down like this. He would not break a promise to Duo, he loved him too much and would be damned if some arrogant son of a mangy fucking bitch was going to make him go back on his word.

"Big mistake asshole!" he gritted through clenched teeth, "...Now I'm pissed."

Damos' facial expression changed from one of smug satisfaction to one the horror as a bright light began to glow between them. The light grew brighter and hotter with every passing moment. Suddenly Skye threw back his head, and with all of his remaining strength, called forth the most powerful weapon Sunfire possessed:

"SOLAR ECLIPSE!"

The ball of white heat burst out in a wide beam of heat, equivalent to that of a small sun in supernova; sweeping the Scorpio away from Sunfire and into space. Damos screamed as his gundam was rocketed back by the sheer force of the beam. Intense pain ripped through his entire frame, as the force of the eclipse ripped through his suit, mixing with the shock and disbelief already present. A few seconds later blackness fell over him.

Skye slumped back against his seat in relief. He was alive! But he was so tired! That Solar Eclipse(tm) had successfully drained the last of his reserve and the Sunfire was in bad shape. Skye groaned. Too exhausted...must rest... but...have to warn the others... His head fell limply to the side as he slipped out of consciousness.

                                                                              **********

Duo cursed and rubbed his shoulder tentatively. He had been brushing his long hair for over an hour. Not that it had any tangles but because if he didn't do something he would go out of his mind. Ever since Tarin had found Skye floating unconscious in space he had been literally at wit's end. The guardian pilots had all herded into Skye's room, not letting anyone in. Duo had been about to resort to violence when Wufei of all persons calmed him down, placing his hand on his shoulder with a small reassuring squeeze. After two terrifying hours Andromeda came out to report that Skye was faring well but needed rest and nutrients But (and that's 'but' with a capital B) it would be best if he were left alone to rest.

Duo had barely resisted the urge to stomp on her head only because she would probably beat the stuffing out of him. So he concentrated on Heero, who by the way was not doing so well. Iria had explained that the healing would take longer this time because it was too soon after the last healing she had ministered. Even Heero 'perfect soldier' Yuy would not be able to endure another healing fusion.

During bouts of consciousness Heero had seemed to be recovering well but Duo noticed a difference.Heero's eyes, they were even more empty that usual. His monotone a little more flat. His expression a little more blank with a pinch of fear. Something had happened that Heero did not want to speak of. Duo knew it but there was nothing he could do. Heero totally ignored him, not even acknowledging his presence. A few days ago he would have been totally devastated but now...but now he had Skye...and love, so he decided that he would politely put up with Heero's bullshit because of their somewhat shaky but still existent friendship. When he was not with Heero (which was getting to be more often than not) he would roam about the resort, inquiring about Skye every seventeen point three seconds.

From Wufei he would receive the occasional agitated 'Maxwell!', from Quatre he would receive knowing but recently slightly annoyed smiles, and from Trowa...well Trowa would give him a look that went along the lines of 'Stop bothering Quatre and me or I'll stuff that braid in your mouth!' but Duo pretended not to notice.The guardian pilots were also getting slightly annoyed by Duo's constant barrage. Tarin would avoid Duo all together and the others tried to follow suit.

Only Iria would answer, then try to take his mind off of it. They would sit and talk about the past, about what each of them had done before they all met. Duo was especially interested in Skye's past, which in itself was pretty impressive. Apart from being one of the original hunters as well as a close relative of Iria's, he was an excellent cook and absolutely loved children. During these sessions, Duo would let Iria do most of the talking, he himself soaking in all the tidbits about his koi that he could. He imagined what the others would think if they saw him being so quiet and he smiled.Duo quickly braided his hair and after securing it with a black hair tie, set out down the hall.

Outside of Skye's room he spotted Lisaan but as he opened his mouth to inquire about his blonde lover, the tall pilot opened the door and motioned him inside. As he entered he gasped, leaning back against the closed door behind him. Skye was a vision. Golden waves framed his sleeping face, angelic in the sunlight beaming through the sheer curtains. He was dressed in a soft flannel shirt that was almost four times too large and only served to make him look younger and more vulnerable. He was bundled in thick blankets and literally surrounded by a fortress of pillows. Where'd they get all those pillows? Duo wondered absently. Slowly he pushed off form where he was leaning and padded softly toward the bed. He?s so beautiful like this, Duo admitted in awe at his lover's visage.

He gently grasped Skye's hand and bent over to kiss the closed lids. Just then the other hand snaked behind Duo's head, bringing his lips to Skye's. Duo opened his eyes in surprise but quickly closed them as the soft intensity of the kiss overwhelmed him. For a while he thoroughly explored the unbelievable softness of his lover's lips before reluctantly pulling away, for want of oxygen. Skye groaned in protest and Duo looked down at him, laughing as he scrunched up his face cutely, opening one eye to look at Duo. Blue melted into violet.

"Hey you" Duo said, "How are you?"

He ran the back of his hand along Skye's jaw. Skye leaned into the caress.

"Mmmmmm... I'm fine now." He replied, kissing the palm of Duo's hand.

"Um...Duo...?" he hesitated, his eyebrows knitted in uncertainty.

"Hmmm? Skye what is it? Is something wrong?" Duo frowned."No no!" Skye sat up, "I was just wondering...I mean I wanted to know if you would..."

"What?" Duo asked, his attention peaked. Skye leaned in, speaking in almost a whisper.

"Duo I...I...want you to fuck me." Duo's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"NANI?" Duo exclaimed.

Skye sighed and leaned in closer, his breath tickling Duo's earlobe. Duo went limp against Skye's chest as the tender lobe was gently nibbled.He traced a delicate fingertip along Duo's open lips as his assault on his ear continued. Slowly he traveled down his neck, kissing along the pulsing vein. Duo whimpered as hot, wet kisses caused his world to dissipate. Long fingers fiddled with the waist of his pants, tugging desperately. Duo grunted and pulled a little away. Skye scooted forward but was held back. He gave a low moan in protest but Duo was adamant.

"Skye! You've barely recovered...we can't"

"Don't you want me?" Skye looked at him with puppy eyes. Duo sighed.

"Of course I do but what would the others think? They want you to rest." Duo said, surprised at his responsible words.

Skye fell back onto the pillows with an exaggerated 'oof!'

"To tell you the truth Duo..." Skye raised an eyebrow; "...who gives a rat's ass!"

Duo blinked and Skye pounced. Soon he was pinned down and the inner cavern of his mouth thoroughly explored. Skye moaned deeply into the kiss, sending shock waves through the Shinigami pilot's entire being. Duo trembled. Skye pulled away, his face unreadable.

"My love...I want you to understand. I need this; I need to feel you...inside me. Especially now, after I've been so close to ... I need something that can be my proof of life, that I'm alive. Duo, you're my proof, my life line...please, do this for me"

Duo nodded, understanding. In a few moments his clothes were scattered over the plush love seat near the bed, along with half of the pillows. Grinning like the very devil he scrambled onto the bed, settling his weight between Skye's legs. Slowly he grinded his pelvis against the blonde's, reveling in the gasp/moans escaping Skye's lips. They claimed each other's lips for another breathtaking kiss that left them both reeling. He tried to steal his hands under Skye flannel shirt but he was deftly pushed away. He looked up in surprise but Skye motioned for him to be still.

Skye turned so that his back was to Duo and sat on his haunches. Looking back over his shoulder he winked playfully, combing his fingers through the flaxen waves. With one hand he swept his hair around one shoulder to the front. Then, teasingly, he slipped the shirt down one shoulder, exposing one side of his back and a round butt cheek. Duo's length hardened as he eyed the creamy flesh of his lover's curvaceous torso. Skye wiggled his shoulder and leaning slightly forward, he let the shirt slip completely off, giving Duo full view of his ass. Duo's breath caught as Skye slowly raised onto his hands and knees, spreading his knees just enough. Duo gripped the sheets. He thought that he was going to come at the sight.

Skye turned around fully and smiled at Duo 's enthusiasm, evident on his face as well as between his legs. He was also hard but he was going to make this last. He quickly bent down and flicked his tongue across the head of Duo's shaft, eliciting a surprised gasp. He reached into the bedside draw and withdrew a tube of lubricant. With both hands he smoothed the cool lotion over the throbbing flesh. Duo groaned, throwing back his head but before he could come Skye withdrew. He looked to see Skye positioned on his knees again but as Duo tried to insert his finger into Skye's warmth he was stopped.

"But if I don't it'll hurt" Duo protested but Skye replied:"I know...trust me. It's what I want"

Duo was silent, uncertain but the look in his lover's eyes was reassuring. He nodded.Skye repositioned himself, straddling Duo's knees with his own. He prodded Skye's opening gently, giving only a brief warning before sliding in. Duo gasped, Skye was so tight it was unbelievable. The Sunfire pilot whimpered as the hot shaft probed deeper with each push. Soon he could stand it no longer, with a cry he thrust back, impaling himself completely unto Duo's member. So deep was he that Skye could almost feel him in his throat. They quickly fell into their passionate rythymn, which became more and more frenzied with each passing moment. Harder and faster they moved against each other, crying and moaning as the intensity of their love swept them away with wave after wave of pleasure.

Duo came first, thrusting deep, pumping Skye's erection with one hand. Skye followed soon after, his seed spurting onto Duo's hand in spasms. They shook in each other's arms until the convulsions passed. Afterwards they lay embracing beneath the cool cover of fresh linens. Skye sighed and snuggled deeper into his lover's arms. To his surprise the Shinigami pilot had dozed off already. I love you so much Duo, he confessed silently. He chuckled; a snoozing Duo was even more georgeous than a smiling Duo, if that were possible.

His chuckle died, however, when he recalled the battle with Damos and winced. What happened there? He wondered, I was so weak?I couldn't even hold my ground against him. I'm not supposed to be this helpless- I don't understand. I've recovered from the battle with the Nothing so why? why? Normally I could have vaporized him but I couldn't even do any serious damage without using the Solar Eclipse(tm). These questions still plagued him

                                                                                    **********

Meanwhile the other pilots were in conference in the massive library

"Is it over?...did you win?" Quatre inquired. Tarin shook his head.

"Damos was not destroyed...only delayed...and that's bad."

Wufei was direct. "How so?"

Andromeda gave the explanation."Damos is far more dangerous than anything we've come up against...he's one of us."

Tarin continued. "Yes, a long time ago Damos broke the prime, the only rule of our people, never harm your own. He violated this sacred rule and was executed by our law...or so we thought."

"Now he's back..." Andy concluded, "...and with the demon horde behind him, he's stronger and more dangerous...to all of us"

Heero shrugged. " I thought you guys were some all powerful team...but all you've done so far is try to scare us with all you're talk. Why don't you get off your asses and do something?"

"Heero!" Quatre gasped, shocked at his rudeness.

"He does have a point." Wufei admitted, getting a more wide-eyed look from Quatre.

"He's right." This time it was Lisaan, who spoke, surprising them all. He continued:"Andy...we've gotten soft. We've gone without a real fight for so long that we forgotten that it's not all planning but action. Skye always told me that in any battle one must take effective and direct actions. There's no gain in playing it out. We weren't trained to rely on HQ for our Intel, we got it ourselves. We have to go back to the basics in this one... do...or die."

Andromeda gaped, shocked not only by the quantity of words coming from her koi's mouth but the sharp truth that rang in them. They were limiting themselves, digressing instead of progressing. She nodded.

"Basics...right! Guardians... we're hunters...first and foremost. We hunt demons and we destroy them. No more bullshit! As soon as Skye is ready... we hunt!"

The others all agreed. The gundams would serve as ground troupes and back up while the hunters would seek and destroy Damos and his cohorts. If all went to plan OZ would be crippled permanently on this world. Iria seemed doubtful

"What is it Iria?" Andromeda asked.

"Well, it's about Skye...I ...I'm kinda worried." She confessed

."No need Ri-chan!" a voice boomed from the doorway.

Skye bounded in and plopped down into Iria's lap, giving her a big kiss on the forehead. Duo, who had followed, laughed at the expression on Iria's face as she returned Skye's warm embrace. They settled down and after a barrage of questions about his welfare, they filled them in on the plan of action.

"I'll take care of Damos, I have to settle this." Skye stated.

"This is not a personal thing," Tarin warned, " I'm not sure you can handle this after your last meeting."

"That was because I was dumb. I thought that I could handle him with the Sunfire but it was the Sunfire that made me vulnerable. I was arrogant...and careless. It won't happen again, I can take him. You know that I'm the only one with a real chance.

""We all know that but I don't want you to go alone." Andromeda decided.

"But..."
"My word is FINAL!"

"Hai." Skye slumped, but sat upright again. "I get to chose who"

Tarin gasped, "What!?!"

Andromeda nodded."It's only fair." she said before Tarin could speak. He reluctantly gave assent.

"I chose Iria"

"What!?!" now everyone gasped.

Iria looked at Skye, then nodded. She turned to the others.

"I understand. You see...Skye and I share the same power...the same blood. Not as in blood relations but we truly share the same blood.It's hard to explain but we're like two parts of a whole, linked in a very special way. Therefore for us to fight together would be the best way to defeat our enemy now."

She looked to Tarin. Please understand my love. He nodded.

"That's it then..." Andromeda said, "...let's get some rest, tomorrow is going to be a long day."

Everyone agreed.
