Ch. 2
He hated war. He hated the strong picking on the weak. Yet he puts himself on the front lines to repent what he did seven years ago. "Hey Suzaku, you alive in there?" Suzaku was brought back to reality when a voice broke through his thoughts. "Huh? Yeah, I'm fine Gino." "Are you sure?" Gino asked. "You look a little pale." "Yes, I'm sure." Suzaku replied, looking at his friend's image in the cockpit of his Knightmare Frame. "Do you think the Black Knights will target the government's secret project?" Gino asked. "I don't know," his friend replied. "They haven't done anything for a few months. Maybe its somebody else." They looked down at the building and saw flames spewing out of the sides. Suzaku moved his mech to the ground, got out, and ran into the burning building. He could barely hear Gino yelling in his earpiece.
The smoke was blinding and the heat was unbearable. Suzaku stumbled through the building, coughing and blinded. He squinted through the smoke and saw a silouette of a girl laying on the ground. He ran over to her and started to shake her. The girl opened her eyes and looked up at him. "Who are you?" she asked. "I'm Suzaku and I'm here to help." Suzaku said, standing up. He held out his hand and the girl took it, getting up. The ground started to shake under them. "What's going on?" Suzaku asked. Luna looked around and saw that the door hadn't been blocked yet by falling debris. "The building is going to self-destruct, taking us with it," she replied. "If we get through the door, we should make it out in time." With that she took off running, Suzaku right behind her. Just as they reached the door, a piece of falling debris caught Suzaku across his back. He yelled in pain, falling to the ground, out cold. Luna stopped when she heard him yell. She ran back, pushed the debris off his back, swung his arm around her, and dragged him out of the building...just before it exploded.
Gino was panicing. He saw the building explode and feared his friend was dead. He was slightly relieved when he saw Suzaku, but freaked when he saw the Japanese boy hanging limp off the shoulder of a black haired girl. Gino got out of his Knightmare and ran over to her. "What happened?" he asked. "He was hit by a large piece of debris." Luna said. She looked at Gino's uniform and asked, "Is your base near by?"
A/N: I know the ending of this sucked, but I couldn't come up with any better ideas so deal with it. I hoped you liked it! =^..^=
