Final Goodbye

Maigo no ashioto kieta, kawari ni inori no uta o

Soko de honoo ni naru no darou tsuzuku mono no tomoshibi ni

''Hey...guys?'' A soft voice asked.

Class Zero opened their eyes and looked at the young, oranged haired girl. Her eyes were still puffy from crying. Actually, everyone's eyes were puffy and red. They finally met their end...well, soon.

''Shouldn't we leave something...?'' She asked.

''Leave something?'' Sice snapped. She tried to lift her body, but couldn't. ''They're going to forget us anyway. What's the point?''

''Well...I was thinking.'' Cinque said. She moved closer to Queen's shoulder and laid her head down. ''At least, they will know that someone was here. Even if they don't know who we are.''

Trey nodded. He placed his bow on his lap. ''I get your point. And, you're right. We should leave something.''

''Okay...but what?'' Seven asked, annoyed. She could barely lift a muscle. Why would she want to leave something for people who won't even remember her?

''How about a monument...'' Eight spoke up. ''Made out of our weapons?''

''But how?''Jack asked. ''We don't have any tape!''

Deuce took off her cape and held it up. ''We can use...our capes.''

''No.'' Ace said shaking his head. ''We should use that for something else.''

''Then what?" Nine asked, holding his stomach. ''Someone speak up! I'm feeling very weak!''

''Our weapons.'' Eight explained again. ''Its hard to explain. Just use whatever strength you have left, and do it.''

Hitomi no iro wa yoru no iro toumei na sora to onaji kuro

Tashikasa ni oite ikarete sagashite mitsumesugita kara

''Give me your weapon.'' King told Cinque.

Her eyes filled with tears. She handed her weapon and started to cry. Seven gently rubbed her back and handed King her weapon. ''It's okay.'' She said, pulling Cinque in for a hug.

''I need your weapon next.'' He told Jack.

He sighed. He took out his sword from it's case and handed it to King. ''What about this?'' He asked.

''I need it.''

Jack sighed once again. He kissed his case and slowly sat next to Sice.

''Here's mine.'' Trey said. ''Use the bow to support it.''

Ace walked over to King. ''Let me help?'' He nodded. ''Here, give me.'' He took Trey's weapon and placed it next Cinque's. ''Wait, Seven's will be the support. To tie it together.''

Next was Queen. She shook her head angrily and threw her weapon at King. He sighed. ''Queen, it's okay. I know you're mad, but please, be respectful.''

She nodded. ''Y-Yeah, you're right.'' She walked over to Cinque and sat next to her.

''There.'' King said. He wrapped Seven's weapon around Queen's. ''All done.'' He wiped his forehead and sat next to Cater, who was crying.

''Please, stop crying.'' Ace said. ''We should be happy. Look at the...positive future.''

''Positive future?'' Sice asked. ''We won't even be able to see it. Why should we be excited?''

''Because we did it.'' Deuce spoke. ''We stopped the war. The world should be peaceful now, right?''

Eight nodded. ''That's right. As discussed earlier, the war is over.''

''See? We should be happy.'' Ace said. ''People can live happily, thanks to us.''

Kubarareta chizu ga totemo tadashiku dokoka e karada o hakonde iku

Hayasugiru sekai de hagurenai you ni

Kikasete tada hitotsu no

Sono namae o

''Then shall I tell you joke?'' Jack asked, reaching into his pocket. ''I have a billion of them!''

''Please, no.'' Cater said, rolling her eyes. ''Just...let's just...remain quite, okay?''

''Agreed.'' Sice said. ''I just want to think. Not have to suffer from your dumb jokes.''

Jack pouted. ''Fine. Have it your way.''

Owari made anata to itai sore igai tashika na omoi ga nai

Koko de shika iki ga dekinai nani to hikikaete mo mamorinukanakya

Kakaru niji no fumoto ni ikou itsuka kitto hoka ni dare mo inai basho e

''What happens when we die?" Cater asked, suddenly.

''That's a good question.'' Queen said. ''Who knows.''

''We go...'' Ace began. ''To a place of happiness. Where we can all be happy.''

''But...'' Cinque said. Tears were forming in her eyes. ''Will Mother forget us, when we leave?''

King nodded. ''Unfortunately, yes.''

''Is Heaven full of happiness?'' Nine asked. ''Will we truly be happy there?''

Eight nodded. ''It can be whatever you want.''

''Then, I want a Heaven where you guys like my jokes!'' Jack said, trying to lighten up the mood.

But all he received were groans.

Kokoro ni tsubasa o agete doko e de mo nigero to itta

Kokoro wa namida o fuite doko ni mo nigenaide to itta

''Why are still crying?" Seven asked Cinque. ''Please,stop.''

''I can't.'' Cinque said. ''It just keeps coming.''

''Then...'' Deuce began. ''Let's tell stories, of what we could do in Heaven.''

''But, didn't we discuss that earlier?'' Sice asked.

Cater shook her head. ''No, we were talking about what it would be like. We didn't talk about what we would do.''

''Then, let's do that.'' He sat down next to the monument. Class Zero followed him.

''What will we do first?'' Deuce asked everyone.

They starting thinking.

Inochi made todoku seigi no ame tobenai ikimono nukarumi no ue

Ipponmichi no tochuu de mitsuketa jiyuu da

Hanasanaide doko made mo

Tsurete iku yo

''Have a snowball fight?'' Seven asked.

Nine nodded. ''I mean, we never seen snow. Wouldn't it be fun to throw snow at each other?"

''No, I heard snow is cold.'' Queen shifted her glasses. ''I do not need to feel cold!''

''Then go swimming.'' Nine barked. ''It's my dream after all, right?''

Ace laughed. ''Right. Continue.''

Kowakattara sakende hoshii sugu tonari ni iru n da to shirasete hoshii

Furueta karada de dakiatte hitori ja nai n da to oshiete hoshii

Ano hi no you in waraenakute ii datte zutto

Sono karada de ikite kita n deshou

''I want to learn how to swim.'' Eight confessed.

''Huuuh?'' Cater asked. ''You don't know to swim?" Eight shook his head.

Jack laughed. ''Hah, our little fighter doesn't know how to swim? Well, better learn, huh, little guy?''

Eight's cheeks turned red.

Yakusoku wa shinai mama de itai yo sono shunkan ni saigo ga otozureru you de

Koko da yo tte osowatta namae nando de mo yobu yo

Saigo ga konai you ni

''Promise me that once we pass...we'll meet again?'' Deuce asked everyone.

King smiled, for the first time. ''Of course we will.''

''And when we do, give me a high five!'' Jack told Deuce.

''If I see you again.'' Sice said, laughing a bit. ''I'll throw you in the river.''

The pain started again. They held their stomachs and laid down. Everyone took their final breaths.

Hirosugiru sekai de erande kureta

Kikasete tada hitotsu no

Sono namae o

''Hurry, Rem!'' Machina said. He let go of her hand and rushed to Class Zero's classroom. ''We don't have any time left!''

''Machina, please wait!'' She begged. But Machina was unstoppable.

Please, don't die. I need to say,''Sorry!'' Machina thought. He stopped in front of the classroom and gently pushed the doors open.

He could hardly believe his eyes.

Owari made anata to itai sore igai tashika na omoi ga nai

Koko de shika iki ga dekinai nani to hikikaete mo mamorinukanakya

Class Zero laid there, lifeless. Hand in hand. Machina could do nothing but stare.

He slowly made his way towards them.

He grabbed Seven's lifeless body and shook her. ''Hey, hey! Wake up! Please, wake up!'

Kowakattara sakende hoshii sugu tonari ni ita n da to shirasete hoshii

After many attempts, he let go. It was no use. They were dead.

Owari made anata to itai mou sore igai tashika na omoi ga nai

He looked around. They're really...dead. Is this...for real?

Kakaru niji no fumoto ni ikou zutto issho hanarenaide

Rem made her way towards them. She didn't want to get to close. They can't be dead...right? Is this all a bad dream?

But Machina knew the truth. They were gone. And his ''sorry'' would never reach them.

Ano hi no you ni waraenakute ii itsuka kitto hoka ni dare mo inai basho e

It was too much to handle. He got down on his knees and cried. Rem couldn't hold in her tears and cried too.

''I'm sorry...'' He said. ''Everyone.'' A sorry that would never be heard.

Maigo no ashioto kieta kawari ni inori no uta o

The air became cold. A wind suddenly blew. The flag that Class Zero made, road against the wind. Machina and Rem watched on.

Soko de honoo ni naru no darou

Machina looked at Ace's hand. He was still holding his cards. But the wind blew, and his card disappeared. Machina looked at the sky and saw a rainbow. What are you trying to tell me...Ace?

Tsuzuku mono no tomoshibi ni nanairo no tomoshibi ni

But, Machina understood. He couldn't let their sacrifice go unforgotten. Holding Rem's hand tightly, he looked at the new world Class Zero had made.
