Duo Maxwell's Island: Episode 3
That next morning came too early from Duo's taste. He threw an arm over his eyes and rolled over, burying his face in Heero's chest.
"Hee-chan, close the curtains," he mumbled. "It's too early to get up."
"Duo-kun, we're on a tropical island and that's not Heero you're snuggling against. It's Dorothy."
"OH MY GOD!" He jumped up and grabbed at the thin blanket that was covering. "I thought what I was against was a little too soft..."
Quatre broke out into a fit of giggles and drank more of the substance in his cup. Duo walked over and peered in a little surprised at the contents.
"Q-man, how in the world did you brew tea on this island?"
"I didn't. It was Wufei. I swear he could get water to boil in Antartica."
Wufei smiled proudly and offered Duo a cup.
Duo wrinkled his nose. "Don't you have any soda?"
Wufei's eyes narrowed and he raised his head up high. "Maxwell, this is perfectly fine tea. It is from my ancestral homeland. There was plenty of jasmine growing wild here."
"Just drink the damn tea Duo," Heero came up to them carrying a communicator. He sat down on a boulder near the fire and proceeded to try and fix it.
"EEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIAHHHHHHHHHHHHH," something wailed in the distance. All jerked their heads up and Dorothy woke from her slumber.
"What the hell is that?" Duo asked. "And why does it sound like someone-"
"Or something," Quatre gulped.
"Is trying to kill it?" Duo finished.
Wufei grabbed his katana and started off towards the woods. "The most honorable thing would be to at least put the beast out of it's misery."
The rest grabbed their guns and went off after him.
"You stay here Dorothy," Quatre called back. "If something bothers you just yell to us."
"We'll try to make it back to save you," Duo smirked. "If not, we can always plan a beautiful burial."
Then without looking back, they ran towards the sound.
***
Dakrness everywhere. The trees are closing in, smothering me.
Relena Peacecraft ran wearily through the forest, away from the tribal camp. She had been going all night trying to get back to her Heero, no matter if Duo was there or not.
Then she had stepped on a nest of red, fire ants and the burning sensation had ran up her leg resulting in the deathly eerie wail that errupted from those cursed vocal chords.
"EEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
Grabbing her leg and hopping around on one foot, she tripped over a log and collapsed; spraining the other ankle and smashing her face into a sharp rock.
"Ow...."
"Hissssssss," something, uh, hissed.
"Oh no! Please don't tell me that's a snake!" Since Relena actually thinks that something else would hiss beside a snake, let's turn up the danger a notch.
The anaconda hissed again and slowly began to slither towards her.
{author note: I know those snakes are only native to South America but this is Relena bashing! Isn't this just delightful?}
Relena swallowed hard and started to creep backwards. She had heard of them and of course had seen part of the movie. Those snakes are about thirty feet long and three feet thick. They also ate any animal that was stupid enough to cross their paths. But she had failed to remember the most important thing about them.
Anacondas are big enough to eat people as well.
Relena held out her hands and tried to placate it like she would a dog. "Nice snake. Easy snake. Good boy!"
But the snake would not cease. She tripped again {::snicker::} she paused to rub her leg again. That was all the time it took for the snake to be upon her.
Without even stopping to smother its prey like it usually it unhinged it's jaw, spread wide its mouth and swallowed her whole.
"OH MY GOD!" she screamed, but it was muffled. The snake slowly sucked her in, savoring the taste of her flesh. Her feet was still kicking when the G-Boys broke through the dense brush. Quatre was the first one to notice he gapsed, faltered a bit, the stopped completely.
"Guys...."
Trowa gazed over his head. "What is is Little One?"
His koi squealed and jumped into his arms, shaking. Trowa looked at him, the only sign to show that he was surprised was the fine, brown eyebrow that was raised slightly.
Duo darted forward and into the small clearing. He also stopped, stunned beyond belief, and slowly tip-toed back to the others.
"Snake," he babbled. "Big snake. Huuuuge snake."
"K'so Maxwell! Are you afriad of a small lizard?" Wufei asked. "Are you weak? I shall smite it with my blade!"
"NO WUFEI!" But the chinese boy did not listen. He raised his katana high into to the air and charged into the clearing.
"Oh god..."
***
Wufei looked at the ground for a sign of the snakes' passing. Hn. Worried over a stupid reptile. He continued to walk until his feet hit something brown. Only a log. I'll just go over it.
Then he raised his gaze. A little more. Then some more until he was looking at the whole section of the snake. Wufei's angled eyes widened some and he backed up. Taking a deep breath he willed himself not to shout but it was practically hopeless.
"ANACONDA!"
The others came running as Wufei knew they would. This time Duo was the first to notice something.
"Is that snake having breakfast?"
Heero snorted. "Baka, it's past noon."
The braided boy rolled his eyes. "Whatever. But isn't it eating something?"
The others peered a little closer and the blond Arabian gasped. He recognized that ankle bracelet.
(flashback)
Quatre noticed the slim strip of gold that flashed in the bright sun around Relena's left ankle. He admired it for a few seconds before he had gathered up the courage to question her about it.
"Relena, that's nice. Where did you get it?" he asked.
Relena glanced askance and then snorted. "My mother gave it to me just before we left the port. It's nothing really."
(end flashback)
"That's Relena in there!" The small boy gasped.
"NANI?!" The others all shouted in unison. Quatre ran forward and grabbed at her leg.
"We can't just let her die!" That Quatre, always too sensitive.
"Q-man," Duo began kindly. "In actuality, we're doing the world and the colonies a huge favor! Let her go."
"I can't Duo!" the boy turned to huge, teary, puppy eyes full force on the entire group. "It would be wrong."
"No Quatre! Don't look at me that way!" They all cried, trying to shield themselves But they felt it on them. Defeated they all either grabbed an appendage or a person and started to pull.
After about five minutes, Relena flew out with a sickening wet and audible pop! {Do snakes even have saliva?} Everyone fell back like dominoes, Relena at the top of the pile.
Duo and Quatre were the first to recover since they were near the top of the stack, hauling the shrieking Peacecrap to her feet, they bodily lifted her. The whole procession looked back once and ran full tilt towards the beach.
And another part is finished! How was this one? Please don't be mad at me for letting Relena live but in the end, she'll get hers. I'm only going to have ten episodes anyway.
