These will be told from the pilots' experiences before and after this particular day. I'm going in order of who fell first. Usual disclaimers apply. *~*~*~* signals a flashback. ::bites lip so she doesnt sing "Kncok on Morning's Door"::
A Day, Which Shall Live In Infamy:
Chang Wufei
Wufei battled in Nataku. 'This is a trap! Those cowards lured us out with the destruction of L2!!' His mind raced furiously, then stoped and for a moment settled on a thought…a memory, rather. 'Could this be it? What Nataku tried to warn me about??' Wufei thought back…to about three days before…
*~*~*~*
It had been a long day. Wufei had been fixing everything he could on Nataku and was exhausted. He fell asleep as soon as he sat down.
"Wufei…" A voice called too him in the darkness.
A form appeared before him.
"Who are you?"
"You don't recognize your Nataku?"
"…"
"Don't battle…please don't…"
"I have to."
"Not this time…please."
"Why."
"It's dangerous…you need to be with your friends!! Don't let them go either!"
"Nataku…"
"Please…" Her form faded and he was alone.
"Come back!!!"
He sat bolt upright and wide-awake. Did I just dream that?? Or was it real? What did she mean by "dangerous"…all of its dangerous? Wufei got up and looked out the window. It was still dark, even though the clock read six am. Nataku…what were you trying to warn me about??
Wufei brushed it off and continued to repair Nataku.
*~*~*~*
'I should have listened…' He thought, his mind fading back to the present. He continued to attack with the dragons, until two dolls grabbed them, and ripped them off. 'If that's the way you want to fight…' He pulled out the glaive, but was overpowered. An MS pulled out a beam cannon. 'Don't show any fear…face this…don't cry out like a weakling…give them no satisfaction…' The MS fired and Wufei bit his lip until it bled. He gripped the controls, but it wouldn't stop. Nataku fell and Wufei lost consciousness.
*~*~*~*
'Ow…where am I?? What happened?' Wufei looked at his surroundings and could just make out the control panel of his gundam. Parts had come loose and embedded themselves in him. There were several in his chest and one in his shoulder. Wufei pushed the button for the door to open, but with no luck. He kicked it open and sunshine flooded in. He squinted against it and gaped at the mess around him. All of the gundams had fallen…Heero was standing near the self-detonated Wing Zero and looking around.
"Heero!" He yelled. Heero looked up and Wufei stuck his head out of the cockpit…only to be held at gunpoint by an enemy soldier.
"Well, well…it seems we haven't killed off all the vermin yet." He laughed. "Surrender and you'll just be put in prison…but if you refuse, I'll have to kill you now."
"I'll never sink to a level where I have to surrender to cowards!!" Wufei growled. The soldier glared and pulled the trigger. Wufei felt a pain exploding in his head…everything went white, then black…
I *told* you that was just the prologue…Please R+R. Does this seem not angsty enough to some?? This will be the only one told in third person. 'Cept the prologue of course!
