Chapter Nine- Future, Destiny, and Doom (part two)- The Whereabouts of Happiness
By Miko of da Shinigami
Miko's Note~ Most of the rest of my fic is gonna be from Hotaru's point of view. If it's not I'll say so. ENJOY! (Don't mind the colors, I'm feeling especially eccentric today! ^-^) an EXTREMLY special thanks to Sailorgundam (Mako-chan) who is a total genius!!!!!! THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You rock and the next 2 chapters are dedicated to you because you are the BEST!!!!!!! THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I suddenly feel inspired! I'm just so happy that someone took the time to write to me because I had no ideas! Thanks again and these chapters r 4 u!!! I also wanna thank everyone who reviewed my fic cuz I just really appreciated hearing what you think! Also a special thanks to Sailor X and Blue Rhapsody who's review really made me feel happy! Thanks a bunch to everyone who took the time! Ur all just soooo KOOL!!!! Hehehe ^-^
and I have a very important announcement… I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that I can't stand the cut version of Gundam Wing during the daytime showings! I mean they can say crap and hell but they can't say "Kill." Like Heero tells Relena "I'm going to get you" and Noin says "Heero and Zechs want to get each other"! it sounds more like they're hitting on each other than trying to destroy them! It's just wrong…Heero wanting to "get" Relena and Zechs…ewww…
Disclaimer~ Sadly Gundam Wing and Sailor Moon do not belong to me (WAA!) it belongs 2 a bunch of lucky (and probably VERY rich) people. But unofficially duo is mine and Dana's so there. PPPBBBBTTTH! ::: dodges large heavy objects thrown by other gundam otakus, then, do to lack of athletic ability, get hit in the head…ouch::: and this plot also belongs to me… don't be a copycat ^.^ meow! And I don't own any songs…so don't sue me!
***Last time***
Operation Neo-Nova. Waves of mobile suits were sent to the rebel base in order to destroy the Gundam pilots. This would be a battle to the death. Winner takes all. In the lead was an elite soldier, fighting under the influence of their leader, Karma. This soldier was none other than the pacifist princess of the Sanq Kingdom, Relena Peacecraft. This should be good…
***This time***
Hotaru watched as the scythe came down again.
"Duo," she murmured.
Thunderdragon-Lita
"Duo."
Lita heard Hotaru say his name over the loudspeaker. 'Why would she say his name. Something feels misplaced. This feeling is nagging me. Like I should know something, but I don't.'
"SilenceGlaive," Lita said. "What's going on?"
"What do you mean?" Hotaru said. Lita saw a look cross her face. Was it guilt? Hotaru went back to staring absentmindedly out the screen, with an occasional swing of the glaive and red-hot explosions. Then it hit her. She saw that Hotaru was staring at the Gundam. 02. Could the pilot be.
"Duo," Lita repeated. "The one you fought. 02 is Duo!"
"Gomen for not telling you," Hotaru said quietly.
"Well tell us now," Rei said, shoving her a double-ended beam sword into a Sagittarius, the new model mobile suit that were could be twice as powerful as Mercurius and Vayate if they had the proper pilots. (I'm a Sagittarius! ^-^) She looked back up at the Mobile Suit in the center of it all. It just radiated darkness.
"Now is not exactly the best of times," Hotaru said.
"The identity of the pilots are important to ensure the success of the mission," Ami said. "You know that, Firefly-chan."
Hotaru smiled at her old nickname, although it seemed out of place on the battlefield.
"Duo is 02," Hotaru said. "And…I have reason to believe that his friend are also Gundam pilots."
"But it can't b---" Mina said, pausing to give it a thought.
"It all makes sense," Ami said quietly.
"01," Lita said, slicing more mobile suits and staring off to Wing Zero Custom in the distance. "Heero…"
"It doesn't matter," Hotaru said. "This is it, if we win, its over, and we go back to our Queen. That is wear I belong, and I am honored to be allowed to fight for Serenity."
SilenceGlaive-Hotaru
"End transmission," said Hotaru. She shut of the link. 'I need to fight now.
Hotaru continued to fight, placing a hefty amount of distance between her and the other Gundam. 'I wonder if he told his comrades. He probably did. I guess we really have to leave. We cannot stay now that we have been revealed. I just wish I could say good bye to Duo and the others. But I can't. I will not, because I can't.'
Hotaru continued to slash through the approaching suits, sweat beaded her forehead. 'I am the fighter of Destruction. And your time is now!'
Firebird-Rei
"I don't think we can hold out much longer," Rei said. "Come on Firebird, ATTACK!"
"Your right," Ami said. "I don't know if we can win. We have been fighting for so long and not even half of the mobile suits are gone. Duo and the others aren't having any more luck than us.
"We have to keep fighting. Once we win this war, we go back to crystal Tokyo," Lita said. "We leave this time forever."
"But do we really want to," Mina said, struggling to keep up with the mobile suits. "I mean, I'm sure I'm not the only one that likes the way things are going here, right Ami."
"But Lita is right," Rei said. "We don't belong here. After we win, we go back. that's all." 'WuFei, 05, if you can hear me, I want to apologize, for leaving you. I told you I wouldn't leave you, that day at the temple, I told you I wouldn't be stupid and weak like she was. I belong in a different world. And I need to go back.'
Icestorm-Ami
"But what do we do?" Mina asked.
"We fight," Lita said. "We still fight."
"I hope we can still fight…" Ami wasn't in the best of shape. She had to continuously fight her way out of corners. And it had it's effects.
'Trowa, I'm not sure you could forgive me for lying to you. I told you that I was never by that base in Wall, the one that exploded. Did you suspect me, Trowa? I lied and I'm sorry, but you were there to. I know that you were, because you are a Gundam pilot, like me.'
Cresentbeam-Mina
'I still can't believe that little ol' Quatre is a Gundam pilot. One of the original five, no less. Then again, sometimes I find it hard to believe that I am…I wonder if he knows who I am. If he does, would he still want to go to the dance with me? I wonder…will I even make it out of this battle alive?'
"The odds are stacked against us," Rei said. "If these mobile suits can do this much damage, I wonder what that one can do."
"But the odds are always stacked against us, but we always manage to win," Lita said. "If the Gundam continue to fight, then we have a better chance of destroying all of the Mobile Suits."
"Well I think they should leave," Mina said. "It would be better. This is our fight anyway, and we don't want innocent people to get hurt."
"Ha!" Lita said. "I'm surprised it's not a crime to call Gundam pilots innocent."
"That's only because you've got your mind set on that Heero guy!" Mina yelled. "Ya know, not everyone involved in a war is like Heero!"
"I'm sorry Mina," Lita said. "We're all a little edgy…"
"Yeah…" Mina said.
Crescentbeam sliced through another mobile suit. 'Sorry…'
**The ten pilots continued to fight. All were pushed beyond their limits. Finally I large thermal energy scythe sliced through the last suit. But the fight was not yet over.**
Deathscythe-Duo ( 3 3 3 )
"They're still here," Heero said, eyes glued on the large green one.
"Why would they leave," Duo said. "There's still one Mobile suit left…but Deathscythe Hell's already got dibs on it!"
Duo charged the other strange Gundam. A sudden blast of power knocked him back. 'What the! What was that? An energy shield of some kind.'
The large gundam came to life. It spun around with speed and accuracy. 'What is that thing!'
It spun around and faced Deathscythe.
"This is not good!" Duo said. "I mean, I thought I could tick off Relena quickly…'
SilenceGlaive-Hotaru
"Great…" Hotaru sighed. 'This guy has some trait to bug everyone…except me.'
"What do we do?" Mina said.
"I said it before," Lita said. "We win."
"We stop her," Hotaru said. "Before she can hurt anyone."
Thunderdragon-Lita
Lita took the buster rifles and aimed for the Suit. The pulled the trigger.
The gundam faltered and turned around.
"Gotcha," Lita said.
"Look out!" Mina yelled. The Gundam spun around to face Thunderdragon. 'Just great.'
The four other Gundam crowded around their leader, extra protection for whatever this strange gundam was planning to throw at them.
"Lita Kino," The pilot of the Gundam said.
Doomsday-Relena
'In this Gundam Doomsday, I have the lives of all who oppose me in my fists. I choose who will live and who will die. I know it is you Lita Kino. I am stronger than you. I will destroy you. But first I will make you watch your friends die. *That's right, Relena. You have the power. You are not weak anymore. You will make those sailor brats pay for ever challenging our power.* I'm going to destroy the small one first!'
Relena went after the small silver gundam with silver bat wings. "You are mine!" (told ya she was stupid ^-^)
SilenceGlaive-Hotaru
"hahaha…" Hotaru watched the Gundam approach with its beam saber raised. She flipped a switch. 'A little bit of a change with the self-destruct system…the second she touches me we both blow. Fitting for Destruction, isn't it?'
Hotaru waited for the hit, but it never came. She looked up at the large scythe which met with Doomsday's blow. Gundam Deathscythe's large black wings wrapped around Hotaru's tiny black Gundam. His face appeared over the monitor.
"I'm not going to let you destroy yourself," Duo said. "After all, what is Death without Destruction."
Hotaru remembered the dream she had, what seemed to be a lifetime ago. Destruction and Death…they have both been surrounded by it…and always will be.
"You baka!" Hotaru yelled. "If you let her go we would have one!"
"And you would have been an fried pilots. What good will you be to this war if you're one step beyond crispy!"
"Just go away," Hotaru said. "I can't win this fight by myself."
Hotaru turned to face the Gundam, only to find it gone.
"Great," She said. "You wasted what could have been our only chance to destroy this thing…maybe your not on our side after all!"
"Hotaru," Ami said. "What's wrong with you. You know that's not true."
Hotaru just left. The other gundam followed, leaving Duo just standing in a field of titanium and blood.
'I worked to protect him from this war but he ended up protecting me. I though I was strong, but still I need help. I thought I could win, and maybe I could've, but I didn't. How can I forgive Duo, how can I blame him?'
Deathscythe-Duo
"I'm sorry, Hotaru. We all hurt sometimes. Being a pilots makes you grow up to fast. Don't grow up to fast Hotaru. One day your going to achieve your dreams and your going to be glad you didn't throw your life away over some meaningless battle. I wish I could be with you on that day. Because I love you, and I want to be with you everyday." Duo spoke his message of love in a cheery voice to a field filled with Death and Destruction.
***End, for now! ^-^***
Well, that was the next Chapter!!!!!! And another one is coming up soon! The pilots go back to school and things are really messed up… no one knows who is who , Relena isn't stalking Heero, and Hotaru is avoiding Duo…for some reason or another! ^-^ Next time- Chapter 10- The Defeat of Karma and the Death of a Princess
…I think the title gives it away…
well here's the song!
In My Words Alone- Gundam Wing
Heero Yuy Image Song
I want to let you know
In my words alone
That I can see light shining
On the other side of sorrow.
Everyone has one or two
Scars on their heart.
I don't believe anymore, I don't love you anymore--
Don't close up your heart with those words
And run away.
Come on, let's start again, one more time.
Let's find the rest of the dream we can't forget.
A smile looks really good on you, you know.
The word "youth"
Makes me blush a little,
But today only comes once.
I don't want to waste it.
In your eyes, as they look back,
I see your own future sparkling.
I'm out of time, I can't catch up--
Don't slump your shoulders with those words
And run away.
Come on, one more time, as many times as it takes.
Mud-stained and soaked with the rain,
Take hold of it!
Come on, the sun will shine in the tomorrow of your dreams.
Even fragments of burning-out stars
Flash bright, streaking across the sky.
I don't believe anymore, I don't love you anymore--
Don't throw yourself away with those words
And run away.
Come on, let's start again, one more time.
Let's find the rest of the dream we can't forget.
A smile always looks good on you, you know.
One day your eyes will shine,
Having found your dream at last.
I luvvv this song!
