Destruction of a Friend

By: Kynthia

Duo looked up at his gundam. Deathscythe was his friend and partner but when most people saw him all they saw was a deadly killing machine. Not him, well not always. He knew the purpose of the gundam was to free the colonies and when that purpose was reached it would only be right to get rid of it in honor of the peace which they had fought for.

Relena, the Queen of the World would demand that all weapons would be destroyed when the war was over. Duo couldn't help the resentment he felt at the thought. He respected the girl's ideals but she knew nothing about the war, the real war. All she saw was dead people and a cute pilot. Oh let's not forget the guilt she had probably felt at the time of her father's death. He didn't trust the girl and thought she had no right to demand the destruction of the mobile suits but he knew he would do it anyway. Regardless of Relena. To him she had always just been some little rich girl that liked to stalk Heero. He always thought before her father's death the man had said something to her about being a Peacecraft and when he died she must have felt some kind of guilt and that was what pushed her into taking on her family's name.

Shaking his head, Duo looked back up at his partner. He let his mind wonder to the other pilots for a moment and how they would probably react to the idea of losing their Gundams after the war.

Heero wouldn't like it but wouldn't let it show. Knowing him he would view it as another mission, which he had to accomplish to further peace. Duo wondered briefly about every time Heero had tried to blow up his gundam sometimes with himself still inside and shuddered a bit. 'Maybe we can convinced it can be destroyed with him at a distance for once.'

Trowa was an enigma. He never let himself show emotion, well except for a few times Duo had caught him looking at Quatre. He was sure Trowa had to feel something towards his gundam besides what he would for a weapon. 'Maybe he would be a little upset deep down.' Regardless of how Trowa took it Duo was sure he would be ok as long as Quatre was still there.

Quatre would definitely be upset. He felt the same feelings of partnership and a very one-sided friendship with his gundam that Duo did. Trowa would be there for Quatre though just as Quatre would be there for Trowa. Duo smiled at the thought of those two. They were probably the cutest couple he knew. Sometimes after being around them he felt lonely because he hadn't met the right girl for himself yet.

Shrugging he began to think of the final pilot, Wufei. Wufei would probably take it the worst. It was obvious to anyone that he thought of his gundam as a person. Hell, they hadn't even known Shenlong's real name until they met Master O. Apparently the reason Wufei called it Nataku had something to do with someone from his past but he refused to tell them who. They probably would never know what that was about. Looking at Deathscythe he wondered if Wufei would ever recover if he lost Nataku.

Turning away for a moment Duo reached for the wire that would pull him to the cockpit. He would have to think about these things some other time. A mission was at hand and the God of Death was needed.

The End
