Chapter 3
Finally we have arrived to the end of this three part series. In this final part I hope to tie up all loose ends in the following two chapters such as what Hallelujah seems to be hiding from Allelujah. Why Soma had been reappearing recently. Also the mysterious figure that showed up in the end of chapter 2. I hope everyone has enjoyed themselves thus far.
I thank everyone for their time in reading and/or reviewing my fic and once again I do not own any part of the gundam franchise or any characters related to it.
Also I'll try to keep this close to character as possible.

At the closing of the day Allelujah and Marie decided to take a trip through a nearby park. But more precisely it was a national park. From the outside, it seemed to be a forest with a lake. As they made their way in they were met with a ethereal beauty most would never see in their lives. As the twilight ended, the full moon came over head which lit the land as if it were day. With the light of the moon, the forest and the lake began to shine as if a glimmering mist flowed throughout the area.
"It's so beautiful" smiled Marie
"Yeah" said Allelujah. Although he did notice the beauty of the land he was more focused on his companion.
With the lunar light and the glimmering mist of the area it only enhanced the natural beauty Marie had. For the light only served to make her pale skin and silver hair glow even brighter. As her eyes peered into the distance the mist made her eyes appear as bright as the sun. At this point Allelujah then began to perceive his dear Marie as a delicate silver flower shinning under the moon light within the deep darkness of the forest.
"Allelujah?" asked Marie as she caught Allelujah staring at her for a while
"Just admiring the beauty" smiled Allelujah
At this statement Marie gave a cute little blush while gasping a bit. But then went back to her smile. "Thank you Allelujah" Marie said
"You're welcome" answered Allelujah
He then retook Marie hand and guided her deeper into the forest. After a while they finally found their way towards the mouth of the lake which had a set up of a beach with sand covering the shore area. The couple stood there for a while to watch the lake as it shimmered in the moon light.
"I kind of wonder, is this all natural?" asked Marie
"I believe it's kind of half and half" answered Allelujah
"What do you mean?" asked Marie
"Well from what I read before these lands use to be testing grounds for creating synthetic minerals to find a new method of alternative fuels. But that was decades ago after it was banned and years later the forest managed to adapt to the changes until it became what it is today." Allelujah explained
"I guess this is why the forest is called the twilight of the dawn" said Marie noting the glimmering mist. "But it's funny in a weird way"
"Why is that?" asked Allelujah
"This forest is kind of like us. We started off normal like everyone else. But then by human hands we were no longer normal. As time passed, we tried to regain ourselves again only to find we'll never quite be the same" said Marie. As she finished her statement a sad look fell upon her as a single tear left her eye.
But as that came it soon passed when she found her head being hugged on her lovers' chest. She then found herself feeling much better as her quantum brainwaves made a perfect resonance with Allelujah.
"Although we might never be the same we still have the power to change and become better then what we were the day before" Allelujah said in a somewhat serious tone
Allelujah then looked down to Marie with a smile. "So don't worry we have all the time in the world together to see things through" said Allelujah
At this point Marie perked up. "Thank you Allelujah" smiled Marie. She then took hold of Allelujah hand while removing her sandals. "Hey lets' take a walk around the lake" Marie said excitedly
Allelujah chuckled at this as he was pulled alongside the lake. As Marie walked and danced around the shore area of the lake Allelujah walked near the dryer areas admiring what he saw. In front of him was his lover having a most grand time. With the shore as her stage, the lake her background, the lunar rays the spotlight, and the forest sounds as her orchestra. But suddenly his face was met with something cold and wet.
"You shouldn't stare too long. It isn't very polite to do" smiled Marie as she splashed more water at her most loved person
"I'll get you back for that one" called Allelujah as he began to chase the now fleeing Marie
Even after sometime the two super soldiers still played this cat and mouse game with Allelujah still trying to catch up to Marie. Then a few moments later it seemed like Allelujah was catching up since Marie seemed to be tiring out a bit. But before Allelujah can grab a hold of her shoulder he ended up tripping over some object in the area to which he fell with Marie right under him. With a quick action he shielded Marie with his arms in order to take most of the impact. As he pushed himself up with his arms he couldn't help but blush a bit to what he saw.
For what he saw under him was Marie half dipped into the water. Slowly her hair began to spread and part within the water like the blossoming of a flower in the morning light. Also because of the water Allelujah got a better feel of Marie body and figure and due to their closeness he could also feel the warmth of her body as well as the exhales of her breath. At this point Allelujah couldn't help but bend down and plant a kiss on the woman he loved most. As he came closer he noticed her blush as well which made her seem even more irresistible. Although this wasn't their first kiss it seemed so much more special because it was their first kiss on the first date. But then . . . .
"Koo Koo Koo Koo"
Immediately Allelujah came up to look around followed by Marie curious to what the sound was. As if on cue an owl came flapping out of a nearby tree flying over the couple. The couple then gave a bit of a chuckle to what the disturbance was. Allelujah then regained his focus back on Marie.
"Should we continue where we left off?" asked Allelujah in a husky way
"No, for the sake of tradition we should save it for the end of the date" smiled Marie
"I thought you weren't one for tradition?" asked Allelujah still in a husky tone
"Well this is the one I wanted to keep" Marie pouted
"Fine then" Allelujah pouted back
After a while the couple then gave a light laugh as Allelujah got up while assisting Marie back onto her feet. Then they retook each other's hands as they continued further into the forest. After a good deal of walking the couple was met with a sight which absolutely amazed the both of them. Before them was a natural rock formation which resembled some angelic form and from certain areas water started to flow out like a fountain. With the moonlight above, it generated a lunar halo above the fountain within the clearing area of the trees. Due to the glimmering mist a kind of rainbow effect was created in which a faded rainbow light surround the area.
As the couple took a good while to look over the area they eventually both came in front of the rock formation. As they watched the halo above the grip of the couples' hands tightened a bit. Soon the couple faced each other with both of their hands holding now.
"I had a really good time today" Marie said softly
"Me too" replied Allelujah softly. Then after a short pause. "Would this be a good time?" Allelujah asked smiling softly
"yes it would" said Marie grinning a bit
As the couple began to close the distance between them as loud call was heard which once again disturbed their kiss.
"It was really hard to find you and that b****"
Allelujah and Marie looked to see the owner of the voice. To their surprise it was the jerk from earlier that day. Also by the looks of it he wasn't alone. It appeared he was accompanied by an entire gang of people with similar looks and feels to them. Also by reading the situation closely they were most likely surrounded and in for a fight.
"So that's the b**** that clocked you huh" said thug 1
"Shut up" said the jerk
A few whistles sounds can be heard "hey hey she is quite a looker" said thug 2
"Can't wait to have fun with her when we're done with him" said thug 3 with a sick smile
"Alright let's do this" said thug 4
Allelujah stepped in front of Marie and moved into defensive stance. "Leave us alone" Allelujah said in a low dangerous tone
"Actually, I think you should leave" said the jerk while snapping his fingers
On command, three thugs came from Allelujah three, six, and nine o' clock position. Upon approach Allelujah parried the first man using his momentum throwing him to the other side. Then Allelujah confronting the second man blocked his amateur roundhouse punch and counter attacked with a punch to the opponents' throat totally incapacitating that thug. But then from behind Allelujah felt a strong pain to which the third assailant was armed with a baseball bat. As he was knocked down he tried to get up, but the third assailant had his foot on his face. As he managed to get a glimpse up from his position he saw the blond jerk with his hands on Marie again just realizing they must have gotten her while he was busy fighting.
"Marie" Allelujah grunted out
The blond ass wrestled one of Marie arms behind her while using his other hand as a choke hold around her neck.
"So where is that up strung attitude you had before b****" said the blond ass
Marie tried to struggle out but to no avail was completely locked in. "Allelujah" Marie managed to choke out while crying out a single tear.
"Dude I can't wait any longer let's do it already" said thug 3 with his sick smile. He started to approach Marie with his knife and then she knew what he was trying to do and started to feel an intense panic, grief, and anxiety within her stomach.
Allelujah could only watch in horror at what was about to unfold as the thugs around them started to laugh. But suddenly Allelujah heard a voice which drowned out the sounds of the laughter around him. This voice then suddenly completely enveloped his consciousness.
"I'll be taking the driver seat now"
"Hallelujah" thought Allelujah
"If you want to save that woman then let me take over and you can have shotgun like last time" said Hallelujah
"Whatever I need to rescue Marie now!" thought Allelujah partly in both panic and rage
"Don't worry you wuss, as soon as I'm in control she'll be fine" said Hallelujah
"What?" thought Allelujah
But before Allelujah can say anymore Hallelujah had already taken control. With that switch Hallelujah overpowered the man on him throwing him off. As if on cue more thugs came running towards him. But with one quick shot each the Hallelujah and Allelujah hybrid easily overpowered them. The blond prick as well as thugs' number 1 to 4 turned to see what had just transpired.
"Hey woman don't tell me you are going to play the damsel in distress for me now" sneered Hallelujah
"Hallelujah! That's Marie you're talking about!" thought Allelujah
As if to correct his statement Marie stomped on her captives foot which was followed by an elbow to the nose and a second elbow to the gut. Then following that momentum proceeded to punch thug 3 in the head which knocked him out. As she turned around before kicking the prick unconscious she said the same thing she said the last time they met. "As I told you before, scum like you aren't allowed to touch me like that" said Soma in a death threat kind of way.
Immediately upon the lead man going down Soma retreated to Hallelujah position ready to fend off the people that surrounded them. With her actions the delinquents that remained started to shrink the circle around them. As they closed Soma and Hallelujah went back to back with each other.
"Can I trust that you will watch my back" Soma said calmly
"You should have the same capabilities as me. So watch your own back woman" Hallelujah said mockingly
"Figures I would get an answer like that from you" criticized Soma
"Don't worry your pretty head off. If anything happened to you my other self would never let me hear the end of it" stated Hallelujah
"I'll be here to back you up too" thought Marie
"Marie" said Soma in a soft and kind tone
"If you really are going to fight then I want to support you as well" thought Marie
"You don't have too" replied Soma in a serious tone
"But I want too! You and I are of one mind, body, and soul. For your fights are also my fights, and more so then that when we work as one we can protect the things most precious to us" Marie thought in a pleading way while also thinking to Allelujah
Soma briefly closed her eyes before reopening them. "I understand" Soma then takes a fighting stance "OK, back me up" Soma stated with vigor
"Alright" thought Marie
"Tsk, well at least your other is more compliant when it comes to fighting" Hallelujah said to Soma as he took a fighting stance
"Hey Allelujah, are you ready?" asked Hallelujah
"Yeah, but try to take it easy on them Hallelujah" thought Allelujah
"I can't make promises" said Hallelujah excitedly. "Alright! Let's party!"
Now Hallelujah was having the time of his life powering his way through all his opponents by punching, kicking, head butting, and on occasion eye plucking some of his opponents down. As for Soma, she was gracefully moving her way around her opponents as if it were a dance and beating her opponents down with both quickness and precision to guarantee a one shot per an opponent limit. All the while both Marie and Allelujah were acting as support for their respected person calculating and predicting the moves of their opponents as well as their next best probable action. As time passed the unconscious and pain withered bodies started to stack and with the sight before them the remaining unharmed or delinquents who were able to walk away made their escape from the area not wanting anymore of the two demons before them. After a good ten to fifteen minutes Hallelujah and Soma were finished cleaning up. Both combatants were rather exhausted and sweaty from that workout and due to the exertion both Allelujah and Marie had to retreat for a while to recuperate.
As the two looked around they both decided they were done there and chose to exit the area. So they started to climb over a pile of unconscious (and possibly bleeding) bodies towards the exit area. Hallelujah was first to come down from the pile followed by Soma. But as Soma got down she stumbled only to find Hallelujah there to catch her hand before she fell. As she looked up she saw Hallelujah smirk in which she responded with a slap to his hand and a hmph. Soon the two began their walk out of the forest towards the city.
"As I said before this date definitely turned out rather interesting" laughed Hallelujah. He then looked Soma right in the eye. "and you fight pretty good woman" smirked Hallelujah
"Better then you" plainly stated Soma
Hallelujah simply brushed that comment aside. "Heh, but I do have a question for you though" said Hallelujah still looking at her
"What?" Soma said roughly
"I know you appear when my quantum brainwaves show up and that is no coincidence. You probably did it to safeguard Marie and yourself in the event I showed up and tried to kill you in your harmless state" stated Hallelujah half serious in a way
"That's true, but what's your question already?" Soma said both slightly annoyed and wary of Hallelujah questions and possible future actions.
"In my current state I'm too exhausted to fight Hallelujah, I better play along until I can recuperate enough" thought Soma in a calculating way
Hallelujah smiled deep but hid it since he heard her thoughts through the quantum brainwave connection. "Looks like she is weakening if this happened" thought Hallelujah
But unknown to Hallelujah, she also heard his thoughts and started to become even more wary although she misinterpreted his thoughts.
"What I'm curious about is why your other self can't remember anything that happened earlier this day?" asked Hallelujah
Soma softened a little to answer this question. "I wanted Marie to have a happy first date with the person she loved. So each time I appeared I removed that section of her memory to try and keep things flowing smoothly for the rest of the day. But it appeared we had a long string of bad luck during the course of this date" Soma said
"Bad luck?! I had a blast today" laughed Hallelujah
Soma gave Hallelujah an accusing glare about today being a "blast". "You really know how to show a girl a good time don't you" Soma said dully
Hallelujah chuckled a little. "But it's funny in a way"
"What is?" said Soma carefully not certain of Hallelujah intentions
"This was kind of like a double date" half laughed Hallelujah
This completely shocked Soma out of her previous thoughts of Hallelujah. "What?!"
"You heard me, and I spent one hell of a time with you today" evilly smiled Hallelujah
Soma was appalled by this if he thought that fighting most of the time was entertaining. However a part of her did have to admit it was somewhat enjoyable beating a bunch of asses up.
"Since our other selves are together, you and I might as well try to know each other. While we're at it you might as well get cozy with me and become my woman" still evilly smiled Hallelujah
"What are your real intentions?" glared Soma while giving a somewhat threatening tone. At this point both she and Hallelujah had stopped walking and were now staring at each other.
"Read my quantum brainwaves" was the last thing Soma heard before Hallelujah smashed his lips onto hers. At first Soma was shocked at what was occurring. Then began to slightly settle into the kiss while closing her eyes and parting her lips. But then she realized what was really going on and why this was occurring. So immediately she parted from him and punched him in the gut.
As she regained her composure she couldn't help but display a cute blush on her face. "You pig, the least you can do is at least buy me dinner or a drink before shoving your tongue down my throat" Soma said glaring daggers at Hallelujah
Hallelujah coughed a bit before speaking again. "Alright, fair enough" smiled Hallelujah. He then wrapped his arm around the waist area of Soma pulling her close to him before walking again with Soma in tow.
"Hey! Watch where you're touching!" complained Soma slightly blushing all the while
As the two of them walked off towards a restaurant for Hallelujah to buy Soma dinner two glowing naked corporeal forms only those two could see appeared behind following them.
"That was unexpected" thought Allelujah
"Not exactly " replied Marie
"Hmm? Why is that Marie?" asked Allelujah
"Well during our times together it would seem our hearts somewhat synchronized with our other selves thus imprinting our feeling onto them. It also seemed Soma realized this fact as well" Marie answered
"So they don't actually feel this way towards each other?" asked Allelujah
"Not exactly for although we may have given them something to think about there was definitely something there before our feelings were imprinted on them. So only time will tell how this will turn out and if something more blooms between them." explained Marie
"But it's kind of regretful" chuckled Allelujah
"What is?" asked Marie
"They stole our first date kiss" said Allelujah looking a bit regretful
"No they didn't, they just had theirs although a bit rough I might say." Marie chuckled. "But we can still have our first date kiss this way" smiled Marie
"Marie" thought Allelujah
"I love you Allelujah" thought Marie
"I love you too Marie" thought back Allelujah
At this point both Marie and Allelujah shared their first date kiss. Although not ideally within their bodies it was still rather passionate as their quantum brainwaves perfectly synched together for that moment of happiness. Soon after they held each other's hand as they quietly listened to the still squabbling two in front of them as Soma was lecturing Hallelujah on how to treat women better and Hallelujah simply poking fun at her.
The end
Authors' notes: I hope the fight scene didn't seem too rough. As for the forest scene sort of imagine Macalania Woods in FFX if I didn't do a good job describing it. Also I hope the last part of this fic was entertaining to everyone.
So yeah this is the end of my very first fic and I had a good time writing it. I just hope everyone also had a good time reading it. I would also like to further extend my gratitude to those of reviewed my work. So I guess this is it till next time then, see you all later.
