Okay don't kill me. I've honestly had a HUGE writer's block for the past three months but I wanted to write something due to the fact that its the beginning of 2011 and all. i'm sorry it took so long but I wish that everyone had a happy holiday!
Okay so you know how in the last chapter, Setsuna had a sudden flashback to the time in Krugis and there was a person who sounded like Rina when she was little... well I like the idea that Setsuna and Rina meeting during that time although both forget that they met in the past due to certain reasons. Plus I really didn't feel like spending three hours typing the huge battle between the gundams and HRL. But I hope you enjoy and if you can I'm trying to find a Beta cause I realize that I have horrendous spelling errors and grammar
Oh and I sadly don't own Gundam 00 T.T
A.D 2300 Krugis Republic
The blaring sun shined down on the desert country filled with chaos. Houses were destroyed, the bodies of the dead littered the soil soaking the sand with the red color of blood. Among one of the many houses still intact after the raid, 8 figures were inside resting. The figures ranged from 14 year olds to a 9 year old. All of them held weapons in their hands and their breaths came out in pants as the eight caught their breaths.
"We should be safe for now," said a girl with shoulder length silver hair and sharp blue eyes. The other six nodded and the girl turned to the desert outside. "How much longer are we going to fight like this?" she whispered when the youngest of the group, a girl with brown hair and pink highlights, suddenly stood up and looked around.
"What's up Yu-yu?" asked a girl with long indigo hair and the nine-year old looked at the older girl.
"I just felt something," and instantly, the other seven stood up.
"Is it another enemy attack?" growled a ten year old boy with black hair and red eyes as he held up his gun.
"I don't think its an enemy Yuri," informed Yue and she stared into the distance into the desert. After a moment, Yue started walking towards the door.
"Wait Yue!" yelled a indigo-haired boy with green eyes as he and the others ran up to Yue who just turned around and smiled.
"I'll be fine, all of you just stay here and rest," and after a slight hesitation, the others just nodded to each other.
"Yue come back in an hour," said a girl with blonde-hair and brown eyes and the young girl nodded before she walked out of the house and into the desert. As she walked around the empty streets, Yue cringed at the sight of the body of a little girl sprawled on the desert ground. The girl's eyes were wide with horror as dried blood covered her body. Kneeling down, Yue slowly closed the girl's eyes.
"Rest in peace," she whispered when she heard movement nearby. Immediately alert, Yue stood up and grabbed her gun. Taking slow steps, Yue walked over to a nearby house when a gun was pointed at her temple.
"Don't move," ordered a voice and Yue slowly turned her head to see a boy about her age, maybe a year older holding a pistol against her temple. The boy's crimson eyes locked with her violet-blue eyes.
"Let go of me!" yelled Yue as she elbowed the boy in the stomach and the boy cringed as he fell down. Turning around Yue pointed her pistol at the boy when she noticed that he was gripping his stomach in pain and a faint hue of red stained his already dirty shirt.
"Are you hurt?" asked Yue as she kneeled down and tried to examine the boy when he pushed her away but groaned as more red appeared on his shirt.
"Don't touch me!" he yelled when Yue just knelt down and poked him on the stomach causing him to almost scream.
"See you're hurt, don't move," ordered Yue as she pulled up the boys shirt and saw a bullet wound on his stomach. Pulling a small knife out of her pocket, Yue took it and slowly eased the bullet out and the boy grimaced as intense amount of pain hit his body. Once the bullet was out of the boy's stomach, Yue looked around before she ripped off some of her shirt and wrapped it around the boy's torso. Once she was done, Yue looked at her handiwork before smiling.
"There, all done," when the boy groaned and grabbed his torso.
"I pulled the bullet out and wrapped your torso with cloth but I don't have any medicine to give you," but the boy looked up.
"Thank you," he whispered when the two heard the sound of gunshots outside and a new wave of panic hit them. "Another attack?" yelled the boy as he stood up and grimaced and was about to run out when a hand grabbed him and held him back. Turning around, the boy saw Yue holding his arm. "Let go," he ordered but Yue shook her head.
"You're injured," she answered when the two heard the sound of screaming nearby and the two ran outside to see more bodies fall to the ground as the air was filled with panic and gunshots and the metallic smell of blood filled the air. As the two stared at the new destruction around them, Yue didn't notice that a man holding a rifle was aiming at her when the boy heard movement and he grabbed Yue and ran towards another place. As the two ran more and more bodies fell to the ground and Yue looked around for her comrades.
"Everyone," she whispered as the sounds of gunshots echoed through the air. Once the raid was over, Yue and the boy collapsed onto the ground of a vacant home not destroyed by the raid. Gasping to fill her lungs, Yue leaned back and stared at the ceiling when she noticed that the young boy was silently staring at her.
"What is it?" and the boy looked away.
"Your hair, it's weird," and Yue looked at her pink highlights.
"I never asked for pink highlights, I was created with them," and the boy looked at her.
"Created?" and Yue looked down at her hands and clenched them.
"Yeah," and the boy looked over at her again.
"What are you?" and Yue looked up.
"Experiment 580 Yue Shizumi, you?" and after a slight hesitation, he answered.
"Soran. My name's Soran Ibrahim," and Yue looked over at him.
"Soran," she repeated before she smiled at him.
"Pleased to meet you!" and Soran stared at the girl before him before looking away.
"You said that you were an experiment, what does that mean?" and Yue looked down.
"I was born without a mother, they took me out of her stomach before I was even born and altered my genes making me a coordinator," and Soran's eyes widened before he looked at Yue.
"Test experiment?" and Yue nodded.
"Coordinators are being used for fighting, we were ordered to come here to fight for Krugis against Azadistan,"
"Do you enjoy fighting?"
"Of course not! Who would?" exclaimed Yue before she gathered held her knees together. "But because I'm a coordinator, I was forced to come and fight, we already lost three others in the last three raids,"
"God will be there for them," and Yue looked up at Soran who stared at the ceiling.
"They died for God so their spirit will be with God," and Yue's eyes widened before she smiled.
"Yeah, Nico, Kail, and Mariane, all of them will be protected by God now," and Yue closed her eyes. When she reopened her eyes, Yue saw Soran already asleep with his head resting on the wall. Smiling, Yue also closed her eyes and let her mind drift off to sleep.
The two woke up to the sounds of gunshots again. Instantly alert, the two stood up and ran outside to see Azadistiani mobile suits firing at the civilians. As they watched, Soran saw his friends run towards the mobile suits only to be killed by the mobile suits' gunshots. Eyes widening, Soran looked around for his gun and he ran towards the battlefield. As he ran, Soran turned to see Yue running after him with her own gun.
"Stay where you are! You'll be killed!" yelled Soran and Yue smiled at him before running ahead of him and shot at a mobile suit.
"I could say the same to you," she said before she and Soran saw other mobile suits heading towards them. Dodging all of their bullets, Soran shot at one destroying it.
After the 5th raid was over Soran and Yue collapsed onto the ground as the effects of running around for survival for the last 5 hours. As the two ran around for shelter, Soran and Yue ran up to a certain house. As he looked at the house, Soran's eyes widened at the sight of it.
"Soran, what's wrong?" asked Yue when Soran stared walking towards it.
"This house, I thought it was destroyed," he whispered as he ran towards it.
"Soran!" yelled Yue as she chased after him. Once he was inside, Soran stared at the empty house and the blood stains on the wall.
"Soran what's wrong-? Asked Yue when she saw the bodies of a man and a woman on the ground. Leaning down, Yue looked at the rotting bodies of the man and woman.
"These people have been dead for over a year, this happened before the raids even started, but who would?" asked Yue when she realized that Soran was silently standing in the back corner.
"Soran?" asked Yue as Soran walked up to the bodies and knelt down,
"I killed them," he said in a barely audible whisper.
"What?" asked Yue and Soran looked up at her.
"I killed them," he repeated and Yue's eyes widened.
"Soran," she whispered and Soran looked at Yue with no emotion.
"I killed them for God's sake; I did for God, but why? Why are we losing? I did everything for Him!" yelled Soran when Yue hugged him.
"It'll be alright, Soran," she whispered as tears fell down Soran's face, "One day; there'll be a day when you can stop fighting. One day, you'll be free of your guilt,"
"Yue," whispered Soran when Yue stood up and held out her hand to.
"Let's go, to a place to call home," said Yue smiling. After staring at her for a moment, Soran held out his hand and grasped hers.
