Duo's Confession

Chapter One: The Call

By: VTEEN

It is exactly one year after the battle between the Gundams and Mariemaia's army. Most of the pilots have settled down, or are either loners in the colonies still searching for a wife. But Duo, most of all, had a wife and one child, named Trio. "Hey Duo, it's time to get up", Hilde called from another room. Duo just moaned in his sleep. "Come on, your gonna be late for work!" Knowing that he had been defeated, he threw the covers off,(which happened to land on Hilde's face) and trudged into the bathroom to get dressed. "What's gotten into you this morning, she yelled into the bathroom door, your so grumpy. I just hate going to work everyday! Everyone there is so bitchy! Duo, you've gotta anticipate work, not hate it. Just be thankful those meaningless wars are over. That was like going through hell!" At that moment, Trio came into the hallway. "Mom, do I have to go to school! Yes honey, you have to. Hey squirt!" Duo said emerging from the bathroom. Daddy, I don't wanna go to school! I hate the kids there! They make fun of me! Listen Trio, you've gotta stick it out...................

As Hilde watched them talk, she remembered how happy she was when she and Duo were in love. She met him at one of his Gundam battles, when he was only 14 years old. That day when she had saved him from the jaws of death, she knew she liked him from the first time she saw him. There in his priest outfit and his awesome Gundam she knew she couldn't resist.

/FLASHBACK/

"Hilde, what are you doing get out of here! Do you want to get killed! No, Duo I'm not leavin you here! I have to protect the colonies, and the people that live there! Hey, wait a minute, I'm fighting for the colonies too!"

/END FLASHBACK/

"Hilde, hey Hilde!!!! Oh Duo, I'm sorry. What do you want? I'm leaving for work. Oh, okay, bye!" Duo gave her a disgusted look. "What! Your forgetting something! WHAT THING I DON'T UNDERSTAND! This." And with that he wrapped her in a warm embrace and tipped his head down to kiss her. Right before he was about to kiss her, he whispered, "You forgot, my goodbye kiss." She just smiled. "I'll gladly accept." Duo then went into one of the most passionate kisses ever. All the while Trio was watching. "Ewww that's gross!" Duo let go and said to Hilde, "You should get some rest, you seem to be all worked up. I will." As she watched him walk away, she didn't know a disaster was about to happen. She thought Duo was too strong and confident to get into a car accident. But it happened anyway. When she got the call, she was devastated. "Hello. Mrs. Maxwell, this is the police calling. Yes, is something the matter. I'm very sorry, Mrs. Maxwell, but your husband's been in a car accident." A million thoughts raced through her mind when he said that. Is he dead? Is he alive? Will he be alright? She was practically sobbing. "Are you alright?" Yes............ I'm alright. I'm on my way over." End. Go to Chapter Two: The Scene of the Crime

Chapter Two

The Scene Of The Crime

Hilde was shocked at what she saw. Tumbled and mangled cars, some with their sides bashed in. But what she noticed most of all was her blue sedan with the passengers and drivers side bashed in. Then she remembered something, if that policeman had called her down here where was Duo? She started to look in the car around the backside towards the front window of the drivers side. When she looked in, she saw Duo all curled up on the floor of the car. Hilde screamed. That was enough to get a moan out of Duo. "Oh my God, Duo are you okay!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hilde...........help..................me. Don't worry honey, were gonna get you out, just stay right there okay? Sure.................. Then he passed out. DUO!!!!!!!!! She hurried to find someone. But when she got her head out from the car, she saw the strangest thing, no one was there. And I mean no one. No policemen, no firemen, no ambulances! Hilde thought to herself, What the hell! Why didn't those son-of-a-bitches help my GOD DAMN HUSBAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She then went to find help.

As she was walking down a road, it all of a sudden got a lot darker. "What is going on here?", she thought to herself. Then for some strange reason, the other Gundam guys appeared. "Hey, guys, you've gotta help me! Duo's been in an accident! Please you guys............ She trailed off because she noticed something very strange. The guys did not stop or even talk to her. They were like ghosts, walking down the street. I mean real ghosts, they walked right through her! She preceded to talk to one of them, one that looked like Quatre, he spun around and said in a haunting voice, "LEAVE US ALONE, WE DON'T ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU!!!!!! Then his whole body changed into a huge monster, which preceded to come after her but she dodged it. She went behind the car, but that was a big mistake, because it saw Duo, and(these creatures only prey on wounded people) it began engulfing him, squeezeing him to death. When Duo noticed this, he began to scream as well. Hilde jumped into the car, stuck her arm through the creature, and began to reach for Duo. It was a slimy and gooey creature and it hurt a lot as well, so when Hilde stuck her arm in, she screamed as well. She could see Duo on the other side, the monster's ugly hand wrapped around his throat. Continuously, the monster would squeeze at his throat, a little at a time. But since Duo was in so much pain at that time, it didn't hurt as much as it did before, since he was already drained of a large amount of energy. Meanwhile, Hilde was still reaching for him, but her face turned to numb horror when she saw what the creature did. Duo's face looked like it had been mauled, and it was stark white too. Just like the ghosts she saw before, Duo's spirit had also been taken. The creature then retracted itself back to being Quatre, and carried Duo into a humungous ship that was also full of these creatures. Then the creature sprouted wings to fly to the ship. When it was flying up to the ship, the body of Quatre left him, and settled onto the ground, in a soft heap. Hilde sat on the ground, the gooey residue still on her hands, and watched with tears in her eyes, as they took her husband away.
