The Voice
Disc 1
By: Quatre Raberba Winner (Quatre-Chan/Onna-Quatre)
Long ago in a land filled with mystery and wonder, there was world at war. There were many different stories that came about on how the war had started. Some say that it was do to a dispute between the Momoiro Kingdom and the Romefeller Empire. But after time it was reveled that it was not true. And now supposedly the truth has been reveled and to make sure that it is true and to ensure that it will be kept in safe hands someone must travel to the Cave of Oblivion and obtain it, but was there someone brave enough to take up the task?
"Heero, where are you going? We are to be married soon." A female voice said in a rather annoyed and hurt tone.
The dark haired boy stopped in his tracks, but didn't look back, "I don't care. I was forced into this marriage. Doesn't it bother you that there is no love in this relationship?"
"But I do love you..."
"I don't feel the same, Relena. That's one reason I'm leaving the Cinq Kingdom."
"You can't back out of this unless you find someone before your sixteenth birthday and that's in two and a half months. So where are you headed, my Heero."
"I'm not yours and I never will be. But if you must know, I'm going to travel to the Cave of Oblivion and retrieve the source of this destruction and despair."
"You can't! You'll die!"
"I am a white knight. It is my mission to vanquish all the evils in this land. And now I shall take my leave of you, princess..." with that he walked out of the castle doors to start what was going to be his greatest adventure yet.
Name: Heero Yuy Age: 15 Class: Paladin Complete analysis: Will do all that is necessary to complete the task at hand.
Heero traveled far, far away from the Cinq Kingdom. The last thing he wanted was for his "fiancé" to follow him. The sun had begun to set and he decided to set up camp under a cherry blossom tree that was near a small lake. As he took out his tent he took a quick look at the sky.
It was covered with different shades of purples, pinks and light golden yellows. And in the upper part of the endless sea of colors, there were stars. As the paladin gazed at the wondrous beauty he felt that this was a sight meant for lovers and someone that had feelings for another to gaze a pawn. His blue eyes sparkled as the stars themselves did. As he lay on his back, he thought about what was ahead of him.
Is this right? I'm engaged to Relena, yet I run away. I do not love her. But father refused to see that and now he's dead, so there's no way out of this. Is this what they call destiny or fate? Is this my fate? To be with someone that has no meaning to me? No, there must be someone out there waiting for me. All I know is that I will not wait any longer, my time is short and all I know is that my future is not with Relena. For now I will concentrate on the mission at hand, but what is it exactly that I'm looking for?

In the desert land in the far, east was the kingdom of Momoiro. A young blond boy sat in a throne in the main room and next to him was a boy around the same age as the other, but with brown hair that fell over one side of his face. Making it so that there was more mystery to him then he himself realized.
The blond smiled at him lovingly before an "ahem" startled him back to reality, "What is it Iria?"
"Quatre," she approached and gave the other boy a death glare that could kill the dead if they already weren't as she stood before the young prince, "first of all you are supposed to be deciding what we are to be doing to protect ourselves from all this destruction, not make googllie eyes at that thing over there."
"First off, Trowa is not a thing. He is a human just like you and I, you will show him your respect after all he will be ruling this kingdom along side me once this whole war is settled. Second Trowa and I will be taking leave of the kingdom for awhile."
"What?!" the women shouted in shock.
"We are going to go to the Cave of Oblivion and obtain what is causing all this trouble."
"You can't, you could be killed. Just let Trowa go, that way we won't lose anything important." She shot the uni-banged boy another glare.
"Watch yourself!" Quatre stood up with an angry look on his face, "I will not allow you to speak like that to the person I love!"
"You do realize that father is most likely turning in his grave because of what you've become..."
"He was always disappointed with me and now I don't have to hear his rude comments. Now leave us at once."
"Yes sir..." she walked off with a look of disgust and hate in her eyes.
Quatre's aqua eyes held some tears, but he refused to let them fall. That is until he felt strong arms embrace him, "Let your feelings go, my little one..."
"Trowa, why is everyone disapproving of us?"
The emerald-eyed soldier wiped the tears from his koibito's face, then placed a gentle kiss on his forehead, "People can not except what they do not understand. All these people have to do is follow your rules, but excepting us will take time. But they will understand, that I do promise you and with that promise I give you my heart."
"Thank you, Trowa." He disengaged himself from his love's embrace and let his gentle and sweet smile appear on his lips, "Now we must hurry to the Cave of Oblivion. We can't afford to let this thing go into enemy hands."
"Understood."

To the west of the Momoiro kingdom was the village of Irrishi. A boy with shoulder length black hair and onyx eyes stands before a grave in the middle of a flower field. Rain drizzled slowly from the darkened sky. He placed a bouquet of white roses in front of the head stone, as he breathed a heavy sigh, "I swear that I will bring peace and justice to this world. I swear on my honor..." he turned and walked away with his eyes blazing with fire of hatred. Hatred for the people responsible for the death of his wife, "Those who are associated with OZ will pay for what they've done..."
Name: WuFei Chang Age: 15 Class: Summoner Complete analysis: The ideal of justice once belonged to his wife, but now is his motivation to end the war. With a powerful mind combined with a strong will, there will be few that will stand a chance against him.

"Have you found them?" asked a low male voice.
"But of course. Once they reach the Cave of Oblivion they will find what has been sealed there." The female companion replied.
"Hm. But you hold the key to the end of this world."
"True, but I've noticed that it will only respond to its host. I just hold the voice of the god. Who would have thought that this legend was a reality..."
"Then you know what must be done."
"Of course. After they free the black mage from his bonds, I will lead them here. Then we can prepare for the end of the world, but I must confess, I'm not sure why you want to destroy the planet."
"Life has no meaning until you reach the heavens. Of course we will be taking a lot of innocent people for our ideals, but just think of it as us speeding up what was to come along later." He chuckled.
"So you're just playing 'God'?"
"No, we're not playing. We will become what the outsiders call 'God'."
"Well then, if you are to become the all mighty I should be on my way." Suddenly her voice became somewhat not hers, "Shinigami waits for no one..."
The man grabbed her arm and pulled her into an embrace, "Be sure not to reveal who you are until you've led them here. And are you positive that these boys will be able to reach the Death of Darkness?"
"A paladin, a white mage, a lancer and a summoner you have nothing to fear. Bravery is one thing that is necessary to enter that cave. This mission will be a snap with a party like this..." she removed herself from the man's grasp, "Of course I can't promise that I'll be yours after I team up with a crew of cute guys like them." She left the room with a small giggle.
"Mura, we are only together to please my grandfather. Yet you don't know that, how oblivious can you be? Well with you gone, I have free roam of the base..." the man stepped in the light. He had dark brown hair and violet eyes. He wore a general's uniform and he wore it with pride.
Name: Chi Santo Age: 19 Class: General to the Romefeller Empire Complete analysis: Adopted as an infant, he is the grandson of Duke Dermail. This person is a man filled with pride and that is his one flaw. Not a person to enter combat, but one to keep on the sidelines for strategy.
The girl stopped in front of the entrance. She wore black armor and her purple hair really gave her some character. Her eyes were that of ice. She looked back at the building then picked up her pace again. She found herself standing before two small graves.
She knelt before the two head stones, "Father Maxwell and Sister Helen, you used to guide us when we needed help, so here's hoping you'll give it to me. You used to tell me and the other children about the black mage that slept in that cave, but no mage was found until one year ago. When Duo and I were taken in by Romefeller, but now he's gone. I have reason to believe that OZ has done something to him. The voice I possess is his, I know it's wrong to deceive, but I'm doing this for the right reasons aren't I?" she stood up and turned around, "This is the path I've chosen although I know the end of it will not be very promising for the future. For my future..."
Name: Mura Maxwell Age: 17 Class: General/Magic Knight Personal thoughts: I feel that I've been used. Feeling like that I am a tool for war and nothing else. Duo... the boy known as Duo is my brother. In a sense anyway. We were the only survivors when the Maxwell Church was destroyed. We had decided to take the name of our father and make it our last name. We were very close even though we are not related by blood; we are forever entwined within our hearts. I've done a lot of miserable things and some I cannot even remember... I am fighting for what I believe in and I will crush Romefeller, but first I need help. If the information I've gathered is true, then I will see my brother once more.

Heero had awoken bright and early. Nothing like the first to rise is the one catch the black mage... or something like that. The dark haired boy had picked up his things and continued on his path, along the way he had more and more thoughts about his relationship with Relena Peacecraft.
This isn't right. I should be allowed to find my own partner in life. And I know that Relena is not that person. In fact I don't think ANY woman is the right person... He stopped in his tracks to ponder his thoughts. Does that mean I'm... he shook his head and sighed, "You've known that answer for the longest time." He said to him self, "That's the main reason dad put me into this mess." He picked up his pace again.
Snap!!
The Prussian eyed boy stopped again and took a very close look around the area. Nothing seemed to be out of place, until a very large lizard came jumping out of the bushes. It lunged toward Heero, but the paladin was expecting something to jump at him.
He quickly took out his crossbow and aimed it to the creature's heart. The shot was dead on and the monster fell, but not to Heero's surprise more of those lizards came his way.
The wind started to howl as the paladin tried to make his escape, only to find himself trapped. I can't keep this up... I don't have enough arrows to defeat them all.
The sky had become dark and the monsters gazed at the boy with hungry red eyes. Step, step, step. They moved closer and closer. Heero fired all the arrows he had left and took out half of the army.
Thump. What know? Thump. My magic won't do any good... Thump, thump. What should I? What can I?
"White Flash!"
The red eyed reptiles became blinded and were slashed to pieces by a few simple slashes of a... spear? The blue eyed boy looked ahead of him and saw a blond white mage and a green eyed lancer. He smiled the tiniest smile, before going back to his 'there's a mission at hand, do not get in my way' look. He approached the two, "I could have handled it, but thanks anyway."
"Heero!" Quatre smiled, "What are you doing out here? I thought you'd be planning your wedding with Relena."
"With any luck there won't be one."
Trowa looked at him with the slightest bit of curiosity and humor, "I take it you still haven't come to terms with the fact that you are attracted to men."
"It's not that. I've been able to face that fact, but..."
"Relena doesn't except that?" the blond questioned.
"Sort of. She doesn't except it from me. I told her countless times that I'm not attracted to her or any girl, but she thinks I'm lying." He sighed, "How's your relationship going?"
"Fine." The uni-banged boy chuckled a little, "But his sister still hates me. According to her, I'm nothing more than a bodyguard."
"That's not true, my Trowa. To me you are my life." He got up on his toes and planted a gentle, sweet kiss on the tall lancer's lips.
I wish I had a person to love me like that... Heero thought as he watched the two lovers kiss.
Snap! Step, step, step. "GGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Aaaahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Quatre fell to the ground and on top of his was a wild, bloodthirsty cat, "T... Trowa?" he squeaked.
"Quatre..." he stepped forward, but before he could get close, the big evil kitty thing turned its head and growled. Its teeth were razor shape and looked like they could cut through anything.
The paladin looked from his two friends, to the beast and back and forth, when he noticed one of the lizards that he had hit with his arrows. The sharp object was sticking out of its eye and was oozing with blood. With not many options open, he released the arrow from its bloody sheath and threw it at the drooling animal.
The arrow went in one side of its head and out the other. The cat slowly moved off of the white mage and stalked over toward Heero. The Prussian eyed paladin backed up until he couldn't anymore. He searched the area from where he stood, but not finding anything that could help him out of this one.
"Trowa, do something!"
The green-eyed soldier picked up his spear and jumped onto one of the tree branches. He waited a second and came flying down, piercing the monstrous cat through the heart.
Heero sighed once more, "Thanks again..."
"Heero," Trowa started, "are you by any chance heading for the Cave of Oblivion?"

Elsewhere, the black haired summoner walked along the shore of a sandy beach. Luckily the rain from the day before had seized. The more he walked the more thoughts of the day his wife died came.
I didn't love her, but even so not even a woman like her deserved that fate. Death should be something that is granted at the end of your life, not so close to the beginning. If I had it my way, I would be the one dead in the ground... he stopped his thoughts and took in all that was around him. The water brushed up onto the shore and for a split second he thought he saw something. Kinda wishful thinking I guess. I've been alone for so long that I... he shook his head and rubbed his eyes. There a few feet in front of him was purple haired girl.
The onyx eyed summoner picked up his pace and ran to her side. Gently kneeling beside the female, he saw that she was indeed alive, but unconscious and soaked. He carefully took her into his arms, then proceeded to walk towards the wooded area.
Once far enough in, he laid his female companion down, made a fire then looked at her. Now to remove those wet clothes... he shook his head and blushed, I can't do that! But if I don't she could be in serious trouble. I guess I have no choice...
15 minutes later...
After what seemed like forever for WuFei, he managed to get the drenched garments off and covered her up with the jacket that he wore. He stared at the girl with the blush still full and bright on his cheeks, I wonder who she is and where she came from. Come to think of it, why was she in the water? He brought up his right hand and looked at the ring on his finger, Magic and Power, who needs them? Creatures from the elements handed down in my family. So many things I don't want to possess and yet I still get dragged in.
"Hm..."
"Huh?"
The girl's eyes fluttered open. She looked around and then noticed that she wasn't wearing her clothes, "What the...?!"
"Calm down. I found you on the shore. You're clothes were wet, I took them off you and covered you with my jacket."
"May I ask where my clothes are?"
"Over there." He pointed to the tree that was behind the girl, "But I wouldn't change back into them."
"Why? Are you some kind of pervert?"
"No! What I meant was that they are soaked and torn. Wherever you were, someone must have been really angry with you."
She sighed, "I don't remember what happened."
"Do you have a name?"
"Mura. You?"
"WuFei."
"Um, could you turn around? I... uh..."
Without a word, he turned his back to the girl. A few seconds later he returned his attention to Mura, "Look, there's a town not to far from here. Once there I'll buy you some new clothes, all right?"
"You're very kind. Thank you."
"Let's get going, shall we?" he offered his arm. The girl's blue eyes seemed to light up, she took the boy's arm, then they were off.
~*~*~*
An hour or so had passed and the two of them had arrived in the town of Vayeate. They walked into a clothing store, Mura quickly grabbed an outfit and ran off into a dressing room. WuFei stood patiently waiting for his new friend. The curtain to the dressing room opened, WuFei's onyx eyes widened a little. Mura stood there in a light blue top, black shorts and a red shall. She smiled at the summoner, "How do I look?"
"Good. Now let's pay for this stuff then I can be on my way."
"Where are you going?"
"Somewhere far away."
"Without me?"
"Sorry Mura, but it's dangerous."
"But I have no where to go..."
I am weak... "All right Mura, you can come with me."
"You're the best!" And I feel really bad about lying to you...
