Author's Note: It's about time huh? I'm really sorry…I've had so much going on, I haven't really had time for my fan fics or website…I also got grounded for a month *sees the readers face fault* *sweatdrop* and I've also had a BIG case of writers block. Any author knows that can't be helped…Anywho, I'm pretty confident it's gone, and I hope you enjoy the chapter! Oh and The Great Shinigami says to write the author!!!! ^______^

Part Six-
(continued directly from part five)

Odin's body was drenched in sweat, as memories of the past began to slowly haunt him like ghosts from his worst nightmare. Still retaining his amnesia, these new, yet so old memories confused him to the point where you'd think he was going to go insane any minute now.
Seeing Relena run away from him in tears practically ripped his heart in two. He couldn't stop saying her name, as she was the only clue to what had happened just now, the past wars fought, his training, his friends, and most importantly his future. He didn't even know why he kept calling out Relena's name. He only knew that she was all he had to hang on to. "Relena…I'm scared…what's happening? Please come back…"
In the corner, Laurie still stood watching in worry. 'He's worse off than I thought…'
Still shifting, tossing, and turning, Heero began to scream in his sleep.
+ dreaming +
A young Odin Lowe jr stood outside the window trying not to look out the window, at the bloody battle that raged just outside the base, between the beautiful blue gem that hung like a glass globe from a Christmas tree, and between the beautiful tinsel silver of the colonies. His father was the main target point of the whole fight right now, so helping his father was out of the question.
"What's going to become of you now, father?" Odin said, but his voice lacked normal sadness any child would have if their father was engaged in a bloody battle.
The loud roar of five military carriers overhead rushed over the base in a blinding fury, launching a lighter than usual beam cannon fire. Odin's eyes widened. "Father…"
When the smoke cleared, what Odin saw was disaster. Rushing out of the base, he quickly ran to where he thought his father had been when the beam cannons had hit. Searching persistently, he finally found Odin Lowe, who was in a bloody paralyzed state. "Odin…you must go…and take my place as a new soldier in the New World Order. There is a man named J on the colony. Talk to him. He will give you further instruction. Now go…" Odin watched as his father's eyes closed for the very last time.
Nodding silently, Odin walked silently towards the battlegrounds. Picking up a mini beam cannon, he aimed and fired at the overhead carriers, killing all five with a single blow. "Mission…complete."

+ The beginning of Operation Meteor +
"Well? Are you ready young man?"
"Roger."
"Then let us get started shall we? We need a code name for you.........how about the great colonial leader?"
Heero shuddered. The dead one- the one his father had killed a few years past. And he was going to live on his father's legacy with the one he assassinated. Talk about strange twists of fate...
But now was not the time. Revenge on Earth would be ever so sweet. He knew it was his father's fault, but he had to go along. Besides, oppression wasn't very fun. Especially to innocent victims. With one last sharp command and a thrust from the engines, he and his Gundam sailed toward the Earth.

+ Peacemillion Port One +
The battle between the World Nation and White Fang still raged strong. All of the Gundam Pilots were all preparing for the worst, but in fact, twas Heero Yuy who'd face the worst. Making the last arrangements to his Gundam, he began to start it up, but Relena, scared that Heero was going on a suicide mission, headed over to see what was wrong. "Heero? Tell me why it's necessary for you to go too. Libra is going down. There isn't any reason for you fight. My brother, Milliardo Peacecraft and the White Fang have been defeated."
She just didn't understand. "I'll make you a bet. Zechs doesn't think that he's lost. What's more, I doubt him or Trieze, are ever going to allow this battle to end. That's why I must fight them."
Her suspicions were confirmed. "Do you really think if you go, that the war is going to come to an end?"
Pulling her close as if to kiss her, he began. "I'll defeat Zechs. And I'll go get Trieze. Then the war will be over. Afterward, if you make it out of here there will finally be peace. I promised to protect you. Please trust me."
+ End dreaming +
Snapping up from a cold sweat, Odin jolted to an upright position, a wave of realization flowing over him in endless spectrum. "I am…Heero Yuy? A soldier…"
He had blood and a few scratches on him because of sitting up to fast. The pulse reader wire was disconnected, and the scale showed he was flat-lined. The IV was all bloody from being ripped out of Heero's hand. 'That'll leave a mark. But hey, what's a little scratch?'
Looking around, he remembered the accident at the lake in the mountains. "Relena!? Where's Relena?!"
"She's fine Mr. Lowe…she's just recuperating. She's at home now if you'd like to visit her. There were no serious injuries done to either of you, although you did lose your memory for about 5 hours."
Odin looked over to the figure next to the door. "Who are you?"
The woman stepped forward. "My name is Dr. Laurie Winner. I'm one of Quatre's sisters, whom I believe is one of your fellow Gundam pilots."
"Yes that's right. Are you sure Relena is fine?"
"Her smile hasn't been brighter." Laurie smiled, give Odin a little reassurance. "She still thinks you'll never be the same again. You'd better go comfort her and let her know you're all right."
Odin nodded and smiled back. "Arigatou."
Getting up silently, he walked over to the bathroom and put on his clothes. "Relena…"

The mirror glass felt cool against Relena's touch. She couldn't stop thinking about how Odin might not even remember her, much less them! Losing two guys in one month must have been some kind of lame record…and both to terrifying tragedy.
A single solitary tear fell down her cheek, filled with all of the emotion built up lately. Still thinking about what Laurie said, she walked over to her bed, deciding that crying wouldn't bring back Heero or Odin. "Oh Heero…why did you have to leave me?"
Three different worlds, two different guys. "I can't stop thinking about either of them…Heero's handsome face…Odin's smile…both are so perfect…and I can't have either of them. Why was I even born?" Still crying, Relena cried her silent lullaby, and drifted into a realm in which no one could hurt her.

+ Midnight +
A loud rap at the door tore Relena away from her dreams, and plunged her straight back into the river of reality. "Who could it be at this hour?" Relena said to herself.
"Relena please be here…" Odin hoped out loud.
The squeaky door of Relena's bedroom rattled the moonlight. There standing before Relena was one of the men of her dreams. "Odin…you're okay…" Tears of happiness were flowing silently along her cheeks.
"Um…Relena…we need to talk…"
"No….no talking…just let me hold you…please…" Relena threw her arms around her hero, afraid he will vanish as if he were a dream.
" Relena…" Odin didn't know what to do. 'I guess it'll have to wait….'
"Oh Odin…I don't want to wait anymore…I want to be with you forever. I don't want to be lost or alone anymore…"
'Me too…more than you know…' "Then my love…let's be together forever…be my angel, my bride?"
Relena's eyes filled with tears. She was sure she'd be water-logged by morning. "Of course I will…I've dreamed of nothing else since Heero died…"
That one stung. 'I promise Relena…he won't be dead for much longer…we can be as happy and peaceful as we were before I fell…'
Deciding to lend herself to her dreams again, Relena fell asleep in Odin's arms, not caring if she was still standing. "I love you Odin…"
~
+ 3:30 AM +
Odin couldn't sleep. His secret was haunting him so badly, and it hurt him to know that he was hurting her. Maybe it really couldn't wait…his angel deserved to know. She didn't deserve to be hurt anymore.
Looking over at Relena, he almost had second thoughts about his confession. Heavenly and golden, he brushed a little of her hair out of the way and kissed her cheek softly. "Wake up…"
Relena's eyes fluttered open like butterflies. "…what is it Odin? Why do you look so serious? Are you having second thoughts…"
"No…but this can't wait any longer. Before I start, I must say I'm sorry for the hurt I've caused you. I really am…I did survive."
Relena's eyebrows shot up alarm and tears began to flood her eyes. "Heero…?"
"Yes. I'm so sorry…I should've told you…please don't let this ruin us…When I fell down, I knew it was probably going to be the end of me. But then I saw you cry out, and I knew I had to stay alive. To protect you, and to love you."
Relena looked on in awe. " Are you kidding? Heero…you're the man I love…I can't hate you…I'm so happy, not angry. I love you so much…"
Heero smiled, for the first time under his common alias. "I love you too…"
He leaned over and began kissing her softly. "Relena…I'm gonna kill you…" He smiled in a mocking way.
"Heero Yuy…shut up." Relena smiled and began to kiss him back.
Both were perfectly content finally being able to hold each other for what seemed like an eternity from afar.
