Chapter 10-Quatre's Sacrifice
It seemed like a hopeless situation, with Mariemaya pointing a gun at Relena point blank. Out of the blue, Dorothy attacked Mariemaya, forcing the clone to drop her gun. Her attack was effective, however, until Duke Dermoil decided to hit her. Her short offensive period thus ended.
"DOROTHY!" cried Quatre. He tried to get to Dorothy but was stopped by two men.
Mariemaya stood up and retrieved her gun. She then changed her target to Dorothy. "Traitor! How dare you! Well, no matter, you'll go with them as well and shall go first," said Mariemaya evilly.
Quatre, taking this a sign of danger, hit the nearby soldiers. As Mariemaya pulled the trigger, Quatre ran toward Dorothy. The shot went through Quatre's stomach and he winced. By his momentum, Quatre broke the window and fell into the ocean.
"QUATRE! NOOOOOOO!" cried Trowa in vain.
He and Dorothy rushed to the broken window just in time to see Quatre fall into the Mediterranean Sea.
Trowa, don't worry about me. I've gone to a better place. Quatre gave Trowa this last message before plunging into the ocean.

Iria… Iria awoke with a start. She swore that she heard Quatre's voice. Then, a breeze came in and a letter landed in her lap. It was Quatre's letter for her. Soon, she remembered as she flashed back.
A few days ago, Quatre gave her this letter before he went to the meeting. He had said, "Iria, I trust your judgement, open this letter when you know it's time."
In the present, Iria had wondered what he meant. Now, she knew. She opened the envelope and inside was an official paper. It said:
I, Quatre Raberba Winner, hereby name my heir Iria Winner from the day that I die…
No! No! It can't be! Thought Iria. There was no way that Quatre could have died.

After Quatre sacrificed himself, Heero, Duo, Trowa, Wufei, and Milliardo all attacked the Romafeller soldiers. Dorothy, seeing her loved one die, attacked Mariemaya in frenzy. Duke Dermoil saw what was happening and activated the chip inside Heero's head to control him. Nonetheless, in the crossfire, the controller was hit. Heero's chip shorted out and Heero clutched his head in pain. Heero fell unconscious. Then, the chip blew up, damaging his brain.
[Ketra: Ouch, that's gotta hurt. *winces*] [Pikaniki: Hey! If he's the perfect soldier, shouldn't the effect of the explosion wear off pretty soon? (Just kidding) I don't think he'll be waking up any time soon to see the end of the fight. That's too bad. Really too bad… Oh well.] [Readers: Who cares about what you think! Just get on with the story!] [Ketra: All right, all right! Sheesh, tough crowd…] [Pikaniki: Oh right! Just one last comment. Hmph! No respect! We're the authors and you're the readers; at least give us some credit.]
"HEERO!" cried both Duo and Relena. Duo shot many soldiers as he and Relena rushed to Heero's side.
"Heero! Are you okay? Heero, talk to me!" cried Relena.
By then, many of the Romafeller soldiers had died and the last of them surrendered. Duke Dermoil was injured and Mariemaya was beat up pretty badly by Dorothy. In the end, the pilots won, although they lost their good friend.

Ketra: Please, Miss Relena, stop groveling over Heero-kun.
Relena: Shut up, you *beep*. I'm the queen, and Heero's mine.
Heero: No, I'm not! You selfish brat.
Relena: What!!!!
*Heero and Relena starts arguing*
Pikaniki: *takes out gun and shoots Relena*
Heero: Arigato, Pikaniki-chan.
