Just a little story I wrote after seeing the Endless Waltz. Its the end of the movie, and in Wufei's perspective. For those who don't know, Nataku is
Wufei's deceased wife.
My hands fumble with the detonator device, set to blow up my Gundam, my Nataku. I stared up at the machine and saw more than a mobile suit.
I saw my dear Nataku, my wife's spirit, who fought so hard along side me. And I saw them about to be destroyed by me. But there was no need to endanger more
lives by keeping them around. They were no longer needed, just a problem if they stayed around. I had picked this spot to detonate my gundam because of
how peaceful it was.
I swallowed the lump in my throat and clutched the detonator harder, determined to go through with it. But I simply can't ignore the hollow feeling
in my stomach. The feeling that I could not go back once I completed this. But peace was finally here, and there is no more need for me to fight. I am a
soldier no more. I am a protector no more. How can I protect when there is nothing really threating this world? My head swam through all these thoughts as
I held the detonator out in front of me, as an unfamiliar hot sting came to my eyes. Tears threatened to spill over as I took one last look at my Nataku, and
pressed the button, hard.
The machine glowed red for a moment, and it seemed like everything stood still, as if Nataku was reluctant to leave. Then in a bright flash, it was gone.
I shook my head of all doubts. This was no time to be sad. I was finally done fighting. No more wars, no more senseless killing. My eyes brightened as I stared
up into the sky.
"May you rest in peace, Nataku."
