SailorStar9: This is Chapter 11 and the final chapter of this fic. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review, instead of just putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?

Disclaimers: I own nothing, except for the plot bunny.

Chapter 11: The Final Victor

"So, what do you have up your sleeves?" Duo questioned, having led the Gundam engineers out.

"First of all, we want you to take us to the Peacemillion." Doctor J requested.

"Zechs will have his way unless we do something to stop him." Professor G added. "We want to change Libra's course but to do so, we must board Peacemillion."

"When you say 'Zechs will,''" Duo echoed. "You don't mean!"

"That's right." Doctor J confirmed. "He's targeting Earth to the very end. We'll be able to atone for our sins the moment we can put a stop to his evil plans."

"All right then." Duo relented. "Follow me. There's no turning back." he warned, having met Trowa on the way out.

"As long as one of us makes it to Peacemillion, then we can carry out our mission." Professor J assured. "So don't mind if someone gets thrown off."

"No worries here." Duo replied. "I've got enough to think about." shielding the engineers, he flew off. "Here we go!" and receiving quite a surprise backup from the Maganacs.

"The Earth has surrendered?" Sally echoed after Lady Une made her declaration, the Peacemillion survivors having boarded an escape shuttle towards MO-2.

"I don't believe it!" Relena gasped.

"Things aren't over yet, people." Howard reminded. "The White Fang plans to direct Libra and Peacemillion to ram Earth."

"Let's turn around." Ami suggested. "If we go now, we should be able to stop them."

"That'd be impossible." Howard objected.

"We can't know if we don't try." Ami was insistent.

"There's one person who can make the impossible possible." Sally reminded.

"Hiiro?" Relena blinked.

"Yes." Sally nodded. "But there's no way we can tell him that right now."

"Quickly, let's go to Hiiro." Relena pressed.

"We can't." Howard protested. "We used up the propulsion energy for the initial boost.

"Relena!" Ami blinked when Relena floated off.

"In that case, I'll go alone!" Relena insisted, only to be pulled back by Rei and Makoto.

"I understand now." Sally noted, entering MO-2's command room after Lady Une made the order to destroy all Mobile Suits. "So Treize Khushrenda's objective was total pacifism as well."

"I welcome you, Your Majesty." Lady Une greeted Relena.

"I wish you wouldn't refer to me that way." Relena replied.

"All right, we made it." Duo opened Deathscythe Hell's protective covering to release the Gundam engineers into Peacemillion.

"Thanks for your help, Duo." Professor H noted. "Remember to give the disc to Ami."

"Gotcha." Duo nodded. "Now it's up to you. I'll do my thing with the guys outside."

"I'm like a body that has lost its soul." Lady Une handed Relena a pistol. "But this is your chance to take revenge for your father's death."

"Let's put an end to all of this." Relena pushed the gun back. "The revenge and the battles."

"Yes." Lady Une nodded.

"Now, what can we do about Libra and Peacemillion?" Howard inquired.

"We've already calculated the impact location and issued an evacuation warning." the radar officer replied.

"Evacuation warning?" Ami echoed. "You're not serious! If those battleships crash, the entire world would be affected! If the battleship power sources enter the Earth's atmosphere," she brought up the blueprints. "And explode on ground, the initial explosion might be a radius of a few hundred kilometers. But the enormous amount of dust spreading across the skies would block solar rays, resulting in a dramatic drop in world temperatures."

"People won't be able to live on Earth any longer." Sally concluded.

"The only way to avoid this is to either change their course or blow them up in space." Howard reasoned. "Both are next to impossible."

"No, there's still hope." Lady Une corrected. "There's a Gundam near Peacemillion's power supply."

"Is it Hiiro?" Relena asked.

"No, I think it's Zero Two." Lady Une replied.

"Duo..." Howard noted. "Then the engineers are with him. In that case, we've got hope."

"Where are the other Gundams?" Rei thought to ask.

"Too many Mobile Dolls moving about to know for sure." the radar operator replied.

"Why are you trying to reach her?" Sally inquired, after Lady Une had the communication officer try to contact Noin.

"You'll know soon enough." Lady Une replied. "The real question is whether times have changed more than I expected."

"I'm glad to know you're well, Colonel." Noin saluted.

"Noin, are you monitoring the battle between Hiiro and Zechs?" Lady Une asked. "Relay those images to us."

"I'm not with OZ any longer." Noin reminded. "I won't take your orders."

"This isn't an order." Lady Une smiled. "It's a favor. As a fellow believer of peace."

"Very well." Noin relented.

"Send this image at once to Earth and space." Lady Une instructed once the image transferred. "This battle you are witnessing has no significance to Earth or the Colonies." she began. "But it's necessary all the same. Because in reality, it's a fight to save the Colonies. This year, in After Colony 195, this history of battle is about to end. Unless these two fight, peace will never be achieved. Can you feel the misery of this combat? And can you see the peace that awaits us? This battle is making us look at a solution to secure peace."

"The regular booster alone won't be enough to change its course." Doctor J noted, the engineers having arrived at the engine room. "We've got to take out the pressure limit controller in the power cylinder. We're stopping this disturbance by causing another. Seems to be our specialty."

"Freeze, don't move a muscle." Quinze trained a gun at the engineers.

"Quinze." Doctor J stood up. "Long time no see."

"I told you not to move." Quinze fired a shot.

"Go ahead and kill us." Doctor J taunted. "Our work here's done."

"You people have caused me nothing but headaches." Quinze replied. "How many times must you interfere with Operation Meteor?"

"The Gundams were more than enough to take revenge for Heero Yuy." Doctor J reminded. "That last time, and this time, too."

"If it weren't for you changing orders to the Gundam pilots, mankind would've come to its senses a lot earlier." Quinze stated.

"Probably." Doctor J admitted. "But we rate Earth and mankind a lot higher than you."

"Enough!" Quinze barked.

"We're going to interfere just once more." Professor G declared. "At the very least, we've managed to protect Heero Yuy's legacy." and setting off an explosion via a button, killing everyone.

"Peacemillion and Libra are moving away from Earth!" the radar operator reported. "Wait, section of Libra is falling towards Earth! The Colony delegation's making an official statement."

"In accordance with the World Nation's declaration of surrender, the Colony delegation has an announcement from all Colonies." the declaration came on. "We wish to renounce the White Fang's demands and announce our desire to coexist with the World Nation. We further declare our rejection of any combat, regardless the reason, and hope that the World Nation will follow suit. We would also like to apologize for the suffering endured by many people during this war as a result of our unclear stance."

"Damn, we're not fast enough!" Duo cursed, as he, Trowa and Quatre hurried to Libra.

"We'll have to ruin as much of it as possible to reduce damaged to Earth." Quatre muttered, holding onto his injured stomach.

"You're finished, Zechs." Hiiro declared, having held Zechs at sword-point, just as Wufei swooped in, Wing ZERO's buster rifle in hand.

"Not yet!" Zechs slammed his whip, Hiiro dodging the attack. "I still don't see myself as one of the weak!"

"That's a problem." Howard noted as the debris continued to fall.

"Does it have a power system?" Rei asked.

"Yes, naturally." Howard replied. "That block alone would cause a never-ending winter on Earth."

"Gundams Zero Two, Zero Three, Zero Four and Zero Five have caught up with Block A." the radar officer reported.

"Isn't that where my brother and Hiiro are?" Relena gasped.

"They're not going to quit until it's all over." Lady Une stated.

"No stop, you two!" Relena shouted.

Tunneling through the demolished Libra, Hiiro and Zechs continued their fight.

"Why didn't you kill me?" Zechs inquired, Hiiro having won the duel by slicing off one of Epyon's arms.

"Relena would be sad." Hiiro replied.

"Hiiro!" Quatre came on. "The block is still descending towards the Earth."

"Gotcha." Hiiro nodded. "I'll destroy this ship's power system." and took off.

"We'll smash it to smithereens before it falls to Earth." Duo grinned.

"Never give up til the end." Trowa agreed, the three pilots started destroying the ship's interior. "That's what this suit taught me."

"Here it is." Hiiro reached the control room. My only choice is the self-destruct device. He mused, his turrets were now empty. Farewell, Relena. He was about to activate the self-destruct when Zechs came in.

"There's one more thing required to attain total peace." Zechs informed. "A strong heart that can empathize with people. Like you. You're too pure and kind. But I guess that's what gives you the right to live. I'm going to live right to the bitter end! I'll live the hard life of a warrior!" he stabbed the reactor with his beam sword. "Till we meet again, Hiiro!"

"Tell the Gundams to retreat!" Lady Une barked.

"Wait!" Wufei cut in.

"You forgot this; take it!" Wufei handed Hiiro the buster rifle.

"Mission accepted." Hiiro fitted on the weapon.

"I've given Hiiro his buster rifle." Wufei informed the rest of the pilots.

"Right!" Duo pulled the retreat.

""Roger that," Trowa received the order. "Retreating now."

Pulling himself before the falling block, Hiiro turned and took aim. "I will survive!" he roared, finally locking on target and fired, totally destroying the block.

"He made it!" Duo declared, as Hiiro returned to the group, unscathed.

"The year is After Colony 195," the narrator began. "On this day, the formation of the new Earth Sphere United Nation is passed at a conference between Earth and the Colonies."

Noin found Dorothy in a cemetery visiting the graves of Zechs and Treize, and she laid flowers at Treize's grave.

Dorothy asked why she never paid respect to Zechs' grave, and Noin replied that she knew Zechs was alive.

As the credits rolled in, Ami, now taking on her formal name as Ami Clyne Yuy, and flanked by Rei and Makoto, walked towards the Earth Sphere United Nation Supreme Council.
