I: Opening: The aftermath
(A.C. 195: XMAS EVE):
Silence was all that Heero had to comfort him as he drifted through the battle worn depths of outer space. He had finished what little was left of Libra's power system and doing so he saved the planet he undecidedly fought for at the same time. Although he no desire to see the earth destroyed there was little on that polluted planet for him to think of that was worth fighting for besides human life. He knew Relena was fine for the time being and there was no longer anything to battle, the war was over. Heero now had to build a life around something -- whatever that may be. The sounds of Wing Zero whirling in and out of function caught the young man's attention. The machine's current destination was MO-II, the only place Heero could think of at the moment to get his machine repaired. There was a crackle on his radio, opening his eyes Heero raised his head shifting it to the side. He grunted a bit at the sudden lurch from Wing Zero; its stability system was badly damaged. Swallowing roughly he placed a hand on the com-link. One of the four pilots were trying to speak to him.
Behind the wobbling Zero Gundam resided the Gundams, Heavyarms Kai, Sandrock kai, Altron and Deathscythe Hell which was rapidly approaching him at half its speed. All the Gundams save Heero's had relatively made it out unscathed with the exception of dents in their scuffed armor and battle-worn weapons. Deathscythe was probably one of the more fortunate out of all the Gundams, with its demonic like wing-shields it managed to protect itself from heavy damages among other things. However, its beam scythe was in need of serious repair. Duo grinned when Deathscythe's scanner picked up on the outline of Wing Zero's bird mode, he made no move to speak to his comrade who appeared on his screen.
Quatre was unable to establish visual connection but his radio was working just fine. With a weary smile the young man asked, "Did you hear?" His radio crackled for a few moments before he got a response. "Yes," Was Heero Yuy's reply. Quatre smiled at the sound of his friend's voice, overjoyed that he had survived his overwhelming ordeal in the earth's atmosphere. "They flew to MO - II. Already, the soldiers of the Earth Sphere Nation and the White Fang are together as one. Whoever survived are there now," He explained. Trowa Barton's expression remained slightly impassive although his eyes showed a glimmer of relief in his green eyes and his eyebrows were slightly raised. He couldn't wait to return to Cathy, she was probably worried sick about him.
He would contact her as soon as he got on MO-II. "The war is over," He said, in a tone that sounded as though he were stating an actual fact. Quatre looked down at his com-link with the same look as Trowa, save with a little more emotion than his stoic friend. "Yes... the war is really over," Quatre said slowly, almost hesitantly. Duo on the other hand had no qualms with hearing this, stretching his arms over his head the young man grinned. He had business of his own attend to but he was in no rush to go and see Hilde. Duo had the utmost confidence that Sally made sure his friend was being taken care of via special care. "Great. Let's celebrate with champagne!" Duo said, lowering his arms.
Quatre laughed softly careful not to over-do it; his wound still ached just as bad and he didn't want it start bleeding again, Trowa lowered his head and closed his eyes and Heero looked toward their destination. Wufei on the other hand was somewhere else mentally and physically, he felt no joy whatsoever as he followed the others to MO-II. He felt as though he had been cheated out of something on that battle field, something was very wrong with the way it had all ended between him and Treize Kushrenada. And if he didn't know any better, Treize let him win because he was either a coward that hid behind the soldiers that fought for him or he was simply tired to living in a mad world that existed. With one last look at the darkness behind him Wufei turned his attention back to the world ahead of him. Now that the war was over, Relena Peacecraft would do away with weapons and war altogether. In other words; getting rid of the weapons and war meant discarding the soldiers as well. He felt this was wrong but did not worry himself over it for the time being. The five battle weary Gundam Pilots continued onward at the sight of directional signals sent in their direction from MO-II.
On MO-II, the former soldiers of OZ looked on with a sense of pride and joy. The war was over and peace had been obtained, there was no more fighting. Howard rose up from leaning on the control panel with a cocky grin raising a thumb in Sally Po's direction, the Chinese woman shook her head ruefully mimicking Howard's gesture before placing her hand on her hip. Those boys had done it, they achieved peace for everyone. She had never doubted them for a second. I'm proud of you boys, Wufei, Sally thought with a smile. Lady Une said nothing but looked on with the exact same look and slightly same thoughts. Mister Treize was dead but his spirit is what helped them achieve peace aside from the Pilots --- his death sparked a fighting spirit all human beings held back until something they hold precious was taken from them, he pushed those soldiers to sacrifice their lives for the greater good even though they surrendered. She held back the tears that threatened to blind her and continued to monitor the screen.
Relena on the other had always believed Heero had done it. He had saved planet earth in exchange of his life but ended up surviving instead, he really quite amazing. She didn't care what he thought of himself -- be it weak or strong -- Heero was the reason the war had ended like it had. Blinking quickly she young woman turned her around to hide the tears that leaked from the sides of her eyes, her hair flowed around her face like it weight nothing, catching her tears.
