Gundam Wing 100 Word Challenge

Title: Campfire
Team: Gundams
Word Count: 100
Challenge: Fire

Low crackling noises spread through the campsite from the fire. Five boys stared into the flames.

Trowa, back against a tree, was reminded of his time with the mercenaries. Quatre, leaning against Trowa’s chest, tried to avoid thinking of colonies blasted from space. Flame-fed images of Maxwell Church ablaze danced behind Duo’s eyes, while Heero, head resting on Duo’s leg, imagined he heard again explosions from the apartment building he’d destroyed during his training. Wufei, apart as always, wondered if Meiran had had time to feel pain.

The silence grew steadily gloomier... until Duo suddenly burst out “Anyone bring marshmallows?”

Title: Inner Fire
Character : Wufei
Challenge: Fire
Team: Oz
Rating: PG
Word Count: 100
A/N: I was compelled to include the other elements of metal (wind chimes), water (rain), wood (practice area), and earth (mud). Wufei (fire) ends on the center of the compass, earth – another strand of qi between the yin & yang energies.

Knees bent in horse stance, arms poised to fight, inner fire stoked into a controlled rage.

He was ready for battle.

But he would not fight a human opponent.

Not today.

Wind buffeted the wind chimes, signaling the start of his match.

His hands cut through the air, attacks aimed at each direction.

When a storm began he dodged the raindrops, bare feet sinking into the mud after he leapt from the wooden practice area.

His inner fire hissed as it turned into steam.

No longer a fire, but still hot enough to melt anyone who dared to get close.

Voting Rigged in Recent Challenge!  Alien Tentacles No Good For Counting!

When it comes to making headline, the Gundams scored big with 20 points.  Oz had a few issues with the paparazzi at 10 points, but nothing they couldn't "take care of."  White Fang and Preventer keep a very low profile.

The prompt this week is #14 - Fire

Laser fire, fire in the cockpit, fire blowing through the barracks.

Fire of desire, fire of passion, fire of need.

Wufei blinded by the fire of his hatred, Quatre taking on heavy laser-fire, Zechs fleeing the blaze of the palace.  

No matter how you use fire, write it for us in 100 words.
