![]() ![]() ![]() Zeetha suggests that they discuss this in private. Higgs refuses to show off his true abilities and so Zeetha saves him from being trampled. As Wulfenbach forces are being routed in the streets of the town, Der Kestle sets up Higgs so Zeetha can watch him fight. Der Kestle tells Zeetha how Higgs feels, but says that if she learned who he really is, he'd have to kill her. With the Siege of Mechanicsburg turning in favor of the defenders, Zeetha can't stay out of the action, where even Da Boyz have noticed "Zeethiggs." Then Zeetha sees the man of her dreams in action. Later at Mamma's, a convalescing Zeetha proposes a date and Higgs accepts. As he leaves, even Der Kestle joins the Shippers. Tarvek notes Higgs' concern for Zeetha as well as his Heterodyne connection. Higgs requests permission to leave Castle Heterodyne to get Zeetha to Mamma Gkika's. When Zola runs Zeetha through with her own sword, Higgs appears to have taken it personally. Both of them demonstrate remarkable physical talent. After Zola has made her move to escape Castle Heterodyne, Higgs and Zeetha spring into action as a team. This gets reinforced as the two of them seem to have paired up. Some fans, probably motivated by the banter between Zeetha and Airman Higgs, immediately began Shipping the two of them under the Portmanteau Couple Name of "Zeethiggs". (The warrior princess is a fast learner, of course.) While he has shown himself to maintain the unflappably cool personality, he quickly learns that Zeetha can be a bit scary at times. ![]() Upon meeting fellow bar-visitor Zeetha, he instructs her in the finer points of bar-room brawl etiquette. Higgs next shows up in the scheduled kick-back-and-relax, blow-off-some-steam bar fight at Mamma Gkika's It should also be noted that he seems to have healed two broken arms, a broken leg, a bullet wound, and a bite (that was infected, by the way) pretty darn fast. Hey! Just what are you implying?" Zeetha and Higgs "Wait-How do you know they are smart?" "They’re not fighting a bar full of Jägers." "Heh. Subsequent events (again, see below) suggest that Higgs may not have been entirely forthcoming in his account. ![]() The doughty fellow nevertheless managed to recount his tale of derring-do to Bug Squad troops on the ground ✣ before collapsing and being filled with rum, not necessarily in that order. He was able to get the launch on the ground more or less safely, but on arrival, took friendly fire and was assaulted by a nesting goose, both of which did yet more damage. He and his charges escaped the burning airship in a launch while he was taking further damage from (and administering further damage to) DuPree. Higgs managed to stabilize the situation and escape with the splattered Baron (reasonable enough, since it's his job) as well as the delirious (and subsequently very violent) Bangladesh DuPree (which has prompted many fans to wonder just what he was thinking), breaking Bang's jaw in the process but incurring a few injuries of his own (a broken arm and leg plus a nasty bite). This was NOT a drill, as they say the airship had come under bombardment at the tail end of the little dust-up at Sturmhalten, its bridge crew was dead, it had been invaded by weird slime monsters, and it was on fire in the bargain. Higgs was snoozing peacefully in his hammock aboard the aforementioned Wulfenbach medical airship when he was awakened by alarm bells going off. How that came about is known only to himself, since he was the only survivor except for the unconscious Baron and the delirious Bangladesh DuPree, but this is the story he subsequently told: Higgs rescued the Baron after the retreat from Sturmhalten. 8 Possibly relevant outside information.5 Higgs' True Identity at Long Last Revealed. ![]()
