When the Waltz Ends: Epilogue Sad

The laugh finally stopped and space was silenced again.

"Welcome Gundams, I have been expecting you. This is my Gundam
War, together it and I will destroy you and peace," said the blood-lusted
Milliardo Peacecraft.

"Not if I can help it," yelled Relena and she lunged at him.

"Relena," screamed Heero. But his call for her to come back
was cut short because the Silver Elites began their attacks. The pilots
in them were highly superior and the suits did not have an Achilles heel.

Relena faced her brother. "I will not let you destroy us or
peace," she promised defiantly. War lunged and attack Peace. It was
symbolic really, war was always trying to end peace. To get rid of it
and kill those who wanted to protect it.

The laser swords parried and struck. Then they stuck together.
The light in them soared to blinding tone from the power from each being
combined. Then the light dimmed. The swords had come apart. They
began to create a deadly ballet through the sky. The dance went on
with silver lights from the boosters. The smell of sulfur surrounded
them.

Relena panted in her cockpit. Sweat poured in rivulets down her
face and her muscles were weary from straining against the controls.
She was slowly growing weary and that was deadly while in a fight.

She relentlessly pushed on though. Her strikes were just as
hard and she made him fight his hardest. She was defending her world
and she wasn't going to give it up without giving it her all. Peace
would be obtained once again and she would help it be reborn.

Milliardo sensed her weakness though and took advantage of it.
He lunged at her head and she was too slow in blocking it. Before she
blew up she said her last goodbyes, "goodbye my friends, keep peace in
your hearts where it can never be hurt. Goodbye Heero, I love you."

The Peace blew up and its metal shards flew throughout space.
They scattered and were blown with the solar winds.

"NOOOOOO!" screamed Heero. His momentarily distraction let the
Silver strike him with his sword. The Wing Zero blew up and its shards
twinkled and bounced off the shards of the Peace. Two lovers never to
live their life again.

Noin filled with fury and blasted away from the Silver she was
fighting. She faced Milliardo.

"You killed your sister, prepare to die in the name of peace,"
she yelled. She lunged at them and they sword fought through the sky.

The lone Elite that had been abandoned by Noin went to help his
comrade against the Aqua. It snuck up behind Hilde and grabbed her suit
while the other struck a final blow. The Aqua blew up leaving nothing
behind.

"Hilde," screamed Duo. His eyes blackened over. He grew deathly
silent and started lashing out with a vengance. He destroyed the Elite
he was fighting and went off to destroy the Elites that had brought her
death. He attacked the one that had brought the final blow first. It
tried to fight back but the pilot inside was no match for an enraged Duo
Maxwell.

The other Elite flew off to play Devil's Advocate once more. It
saw the Heavyarms fighting and flew silently behind it. It raised its
laser and brought it down. Before Heavyarms blew apart Trowa whispered,"
I'm sorry Kathy."

The losses were a good number through the fight. Sally and Wufei
also perished.

Noin meanwhile was fighting Milliardo. She knew now that she
would not win. She decided to use her final weapon. She suddenly
latched herself onto the War and would not let go. Then she made her
final decree, "goodbye all, fight for peace. Zechs I know you can hear
me, I hope we find each other. I love you!" With tears in her eyes
she pressed the small button. A greater light was never seen.

Noin had designed the Epyon to hold the chemical that destroyed
the Elites. When it blew up the chemical was splattered all over the
War. Moments later the War had blown up as well.

The rest of the Elites were destroyed. Only four survivors were
left. Quatre, Dorothy, Katherine, and Duo slowly made their way back
to Earth. As they traveled they thought.

Katherine sobbed silent tears in her Gundam. She thought about
what Trowa had said to her months before. "I think Death pities
us. We fight for others at our mortality's expense and Death lets us
live so that one day we may have a happy life. But at the same time
Death laughs at us. When we most want to die, It spits in our face and
refuses to end the misery. Death is fickle I guess."

Either Death was finally giving up its pity on Trowa, or it was
just fulfilling his wish. Katherine would never know.

Duo sat silent in his cockpit. Hilde flashed over and over in
his mind. His tears slipped down his face. His love is gone, and he
was alone in the world.

Quatre and Dorothy still had each other. But many of their
dear friends were gone. They still would be together but life would
never be the same again.

The war took its toll on anyone. Katherine would never go back
to the circus because of memories. Quatre and Dorothy would never pilot
a Gundam again. Then Duo, Duo would never laugh or smile from that day
on. The once cheerful pilot would never speak after that day. His words
had left him.

Four souls would forever be ruthlessly shredded by the battle.

The End

Well, what did you think. I will accept any flames except those
on my character pairings. I made this one sad. But fear not people, I
thought of you that hate angst and there is a happy epilogue instead of
this sad one. You could of chosen happy or sad and you still can. By
the way, in your reviews please let me know if you think I should begin
another series and what I should begin it on. Better yet email me and
tell me if I should and what it should be about, kairosdreamer@aol.com

Ja Ne!
