This is my 1st Gundam Wing fic, and 3rd fanfiction story, it is based after the End of Endless Waltz where all the pilots go their seperate ways, Trowa back to the circus, Duo with Hilde probably running a salvage company, Quatre running his company, Wu-Fei a preventer Relena continues as a member of the Earth sphere and Heero disappears somewhere. I got the idea for this after watching Advent Children for like the millionth time, then i watched the special edition of Endless Waltz and(possible spoilers) i remembered the speach Heero gave Wu-Fei when they were fighting and i realize Heero regrets killing people and that's where this story is based on so now on with the story, please tell me what you think
Sorrow and Joy
Chapter 1: Suffering
The sound of a loud eruption was heard at the top floor of a two-story house caught on fire. Right before the flames engulfed the entire floor, a single figure jumped out from the window and rolled on the ground before standing up.
"Shit!" The male figure said softly with little resentment in his voice.
It was the night cycle in the space colony, and there were other houses beside the one that was now on fire, the man could see the lights coming on in the other houses as their residents awoke to see what the disturbance was.
'I have to get out of here' the male figure thought as he disappeared down the darkened street. He soon found his was to a darkened alley way with only a single flickering light and a dumpster at the entrance. As he went under the light his attributes could be clearly seen. He stood approximately five feet eight inches, he had a solid well defined build, his eyes were deep blue and his dark brown his was long and unruly with it's dark bangs falling in front his face. He wore dark blue jeans that were not to baggy and a green sleeveless t-shirt, he had black sneakers and also wore a long sleeve black jacket. The boy didn't appear to be very old, probably in his late teens.
As he leant up to the concrete wall with the flickering light above it he took out his portable vid-phone, it was small and shaped like a C, it fitted in his palm. He held if firmly with one hand and pressed the only button located at the center of the C, immediately a small holographic screen came up.
"Dial Heaven," He said in a calm voice.
Immediately as he said those words the outline of a man came up, he could barely be seem as there was no light on his side but it was clear that it was a man.
"It's done, you should have enough evidence to convict Erobern Sie," He said calmly.
"Well done Heero, mission completed," The man replied in calm aristocratic voice.
"This wasn't a mission, it was a favor," He quickly protested, "I'm done with that business."
"Oh yes of course, I meant no disrespect," The stranger quickly apologized, "I've already forwarded the money to your account."
"Then I guess we're finished," Heero said calmly.
"Wait, there's one more thing, I have a present for you, consider it thanks for all you've you're the only person I spoken to in nearly five years." The darkened figured replied.
"Alright," Heero said not wanting to fight, he has had enough of that in his short life, "By the castle?"
He could see the figure nod, then the communication was terminated, the holographic screen vanished and he put the vid-phone into his jacket. As he did that he pulled out a small golden crucifix no bigger than the size of his palm, it was attached to a brown lace, he placed it around his neck, then looked at the crucifix, his eyes filled with sorrow and remorse, he released it and it fell onto his chest, his gaze then shifted to the fake night sky of the colonies, he could hear the comments of the colony citizens in the distance as they gathered around the burning building, but his sad and sorrowful expression only got worse, as one could clearly see the suffering he was enduring through his eyes.
November 31st AC 199, two days later.
A young light brown haired woman came into an elegant office; she sat on a large executive leather chair behind a glass desk. The woman now nineteen years of age had certainly filled out from her girlish figure, she stood approximately five feet four inches, with a slender build, a developed womanly features, she had violet coloured eyes and everything movement she made was filled with a certain grace. The office it self was very large, it had it's own personal seating area which consisted of a couch set around a small coffee table that was to the side of the desk, paintings hung on the walls, there were plants at the corners of the office, in front the desk there were two more chairs, and on top the desk were a glass monitor of a computer, her assistant Dorothy had told her to get one of the new models and this was it, it only consisted of a thin sheet of glass connected to a stand, for support and a touch sensitive keyboard. The girl stretched in her luxurious chair. She was dressed in a matching suit, a navy blue jacket, with a white t-shirt beneath it and a navy blue skirt stopping short of her knees, she also had on stockings and white high heeled shoes.
"Enjoying ourselves, are we?" A voice came from the front of the office as the two large red wooded door opened and a long blond haired woman entered, she was dressed in a one piece white dress, with a small necklace around her neck and white sandals.
"Dorothy are you going somewhere?" The behind the desk asked.
"Miss Relena don't tell me you've forgotten," Dorothy asked rhetorically for she knew her friend had indeed forgotten.
"Well since your schedule is free for the next few weeks, plus we have to prepare for the Christmas party," Dorothy said as she smiled.
"Oh course, how could I have been so forgetful," Relena said as she stood up, "By the way Dorothy, can you see if you Quatre can get the other Gundam pilots to attend?" Relena knew that there was chemistry between both Quatre and Dorothy, anyone would have recognized it if they spend time around the two, whenever they went to space they were always together, spending as much time as possible, but neither of them had tried nothing to start a relationship, perhaps they thought the long distance relationship won't work out.
"Okay, I'll ask him about it," She replied then turned to leave "Come on if we only have two weeks off." Then she faded out as she went out the door.
Relena took up her purse and carefully took out a small framed picture of a boy looking over his shoulder, he was very young with wild untamed hair and deep blue eyes. She held the picture close to her heart and closed her eyes.
"Please, hopefully one of them will know where you are," She muttered but that was not the only reason she wanted to meet them, certainly it was her first priority but also she wanted to personally meet them, she had gotten to know Quatre from when he stayed in Cinq, plus from her dealing with the colonies, as he was now not only a colony representative but head of prestigious firm that was responsible for mining natural resource satellites, the others she had barely ever met, she had seen Duo once, never Trowa and Wu-fei who despite being a Preventer avoided her, but she wanted desperately to meet the warriors who fought so hard to make her ideals come to pass.
She placed the picture on her desk and went to look out the window directly opposite her desk. It was probably two years ago she was looking up at the sky, at a public conference right after the Mariemaia incident, she was on top of the podium with the President of the Earth Sphere along with a few other important ministers, they were all old men and she was the only female there, she was looking up at the sky at that time thinking the same thing she was thinking now, when was the next time she would see him again or if she would ever see him again, but soon after looking up at the clear blue tranquil sky with only a few white clouds barely visible, she quickly tossed the 'if' part away, she knew she would see him again, some day, some how, some where, and then she would confess her feelings for him, she herself was unsure of her feelings, she only knew he was always on her mind, she was always thinking where he was now or what he was doing, every time she thought of him a smile would come to her pink lips and she would suddenly be invigorated with a new found strength. She turned her gaze from the sky with a sad expression on her face and followed Dorothy out the door.
Heero walked through the darkened corridor of the castle, he was several feet underground. There were torches on both sides of the wall every few feet casting his shadows on the wall that seemed to go up forever as they faded into darkness, as he passed them. He thought back on Erobern Sie, an elite group formed by the former President of the Earth Sphere, after the Mariemaia incident, they were supposed to officially be a part of Preventer but they didn't report to the Preventer commander, they would report directly to the President himself, but in truth the group functioned similarly to OZ or the White Fang, ruthless executing anyone they though was the enemy, after two years of struggling he had successfully bested them and had the information to convict them.
He reached the end of the corridor to large metal door, with a black panel next to it. He put his had on the panel then three glowing energy circles came up from the floor each one of different size, the smallest red, the middle one green and the largest blue, as they reached the top of him they faded back into the ground.
"Scan complete, registered Heero Yuy," A female voice said, then the door opened.
Heero walked into an extremely poorly lit library. The corridor was bad but this place would be pitch black except for the two torches on two pillars at the northern end of the room right before the staircase. There were shelves of books placed along the wall but they were covered in darkness. He approached the silhouette of a male figure on the staircase but couldn't make it out as the darkness clung to him like skin to flesh, the man was approximately the same height and size as Heero.
Heero held his ice cold expression he always had but it lacked the intensity it once did, one could see sorrow in his eyes. Heero hated putting the façade of the perfect soldier, he no longer considered himself a soldier, he was suffering inside the guilt of all those he killed not just soldiers but civilians also, every night he would have the same dream, the dream he hated, he was killing a small red haired girl with a puppy.
"Heaven, What did you call me here for?" Heero asked in a tired voice.
"By the table on your right," The man replied harboring an amount of sorrow in his voice.
Heero walked over to it and picked up a small black box no bigger and thinker than his palm.
"What's this?" He asked.
"Thanks for all you did," The man said softly.
"You already overpaid," Heero said turning his eyes to him.
"No words can express the deed you did, if Erobern Sie continued their ways they would have created another OZ," The man said in his quiet aristocratic voice.
"I'll let the Preventers handle it now, if this is all I'll be leaving now," He said as he was about to turn but just then the man noticed the crucifix around the boy's neck. He chuckled slightly.
"I thought you didn't believe in God?" He asked skeptically.
Heero turned back around, he didn't know the man would remember what he once told him or that he would notice the crucifix around his neck, "Things change," He countered coldly.
"I wonder?" The figure asked back.
Heero lowered his head and turned his head to his right side and stared blankly at the floor, his face loosing his expression from before and now showing his sorrow, grief and remorse.
"God is the only one who can grant forgiveness," Heero answered.
"So you seek forgiveness, for your past sins?" The darkened man asked.
"I cannot be forgiven, not for all the wrongs I have done, but it not a crime to cry for a dream," He replied.
Heero didn't say anything, he simply turned around and walked towards the exit.
"Just remember Heero, God forgives all," The figure finished as Heero was swallowed up into the darkness.
