DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the characters of G Gundam, nor any of the mechas included in the show. I am writing this story purely for fun and the entertainment of whoever may be reading it. G Gundam is sole property of its respected creators and animators, and also the companies that distribute it. --- EDITOR'S NOTE: Alright kiddies, this story will be the first in my small series of G Gundam stories that will actually be finished. Kirikou, as many of you may know, is very bad at finishing stories she starts. So, this story is actually about all of the characters as a whole and their relationship and attitude towards each other as the story progresses, sending all of them into some kind of torture or mishap. It focuses on one character at a time as they make their way farther and farther into what seems an unbeatable and pointless war with a destroyed country. Gosh, if I give any more away, it wouldn't be a story would it? --- OF ROSES: EPILOGUE ---

A hooded, shrouded figure stumbled through a dark alley, breath coming in short, labored gasps. He tripped over his feet as he stumbled out of the alley, unseen eyes flinching as the daylight hit them relentlessly. Other people passed by the hurting one, walking far around him, eyes downcast as if he where invisible. Despite the weather, the figure was sweating profusely, beads dripping onto the pavement as he staggered on, gaping for the air that was slowly getting away from him. A man ran into him, knocking him to the ground roughly. The figure made no attempt to rise, his breath gone. He gaped, trying desperately to fill his dying lungs. A little girl came walking down the street, eyes suddenly on this figure dying on the ground. Her eyes wide in fear, she ran to the figure, trying to help him up.

"Are you alright sir? I think I should..." She was stopped dead by the figure's grip, clutching gravely to her arm and dragging her down, into the alleyway, lounging at her throat, ripping her dress as she screamed. Her pleads fell apon deaf ears as she was dragged to the ground, slammed into the wet gravel. The figure's hood fell down, exposing his head and neck. Her eyes widened in horror at the sight. He looked as though he where made of metal, eyes sunk in to the back of his head. The only thing visible was the sockets as they glared back at her with a red center. He showed his teeth, metallic as the rest of him, digging them into the screeching girl's neck. She tried desperately to pull away from her, finding herself drained suddenly of all energy. She sunk back from his attack, unable to fight this creature. As she thought her last minutes where at hand, the creature suddenly let go, coughing and rasping, falling to the ground dead. She backed away quickly up against the wall as his sockets glared back at her, a menacing grin on his toothed skull. She closed her eyes, trying to get to her feet, but a wave of nausea kept her down. The world spun about as she tottered, a tear rolling down her cheek as her eyes rolled back in her head with a sigh as she fell face down into the mud.

Master's ambitions would be fulfilled.

"Oh my god Natzika! What happened to you?" A woman grasped her daughter by the shoulders, her complexion pale with fear. Her daughter had walked in, covered in mud and a ripped dress, hair a mess and eyes ablaze. She now stood before her mother lifelessly, her wide blue orbs staring at nothing, as if she where blind. Her face held no emotion, her dress hanging limply from her shoulders, caked in mud. Blood flowed freely from a wound at her neck, still unhealed, as if unable to. Her flesh was slightly discolored, something her mother had not taken into account. It was tinged an almost metallic color about the wound, spreading slowly, even as they stood there. Her mother stood to her feet, about to get to the phone when her daughter grasped her arm pleadingly, her eyes wide in an unexplainable horror. She came back down to her daughter, hugging her tightly, unable to see the color of her eyes change, a rage grow on her ashen face, her teeth grow rapidly, lounging into the shocked woman's arm, puncturing the skin and driving deep into her flesh. Blood pumped freely with every heart beat as the girl detached, falling back and against the wall, watching the horrified look apon her mother's face, the emptiness in her eyes as she fell to the ground, lying unconscious.

Two people now lay on the ground, shocked looks apon their faces as a girl loomed over them, eyes downcast, tears filling the lifeless orbs. She closed her eyes, turning her head to the window and opening them, glaring outside at the life moving about freely. They would all be like her soon. She and her friends. Her master awaited their arrival.

Master's ambitions would be fulfilled.
