Destiny's Withering Rose
A Gundam Wing Fanfic
PART ONE
Relena Peacecraft, Vice Foreign Minister, walked down the long hallway of the building
to the conference room, where she had been summoned. She straightened out her white dress
pants and matching coat. She combed her shoulder lengthen hair and took a deep breath. She
opened the door and she could automatically feel all the eyes go upon her. She walked to the
head of the long table and sat down.
"Shall we begin?" Relena asked.
"Of course"Col. Amberson, an elderly brown eyes soldier, answered.
"The first line of business is the creation of the Earth Represential Embassy on Colony
L1. The leaders of the colony believe it will only cause trouble on the colony because there are
still those who oppose us. We have all ready explained that the Embassy is not their to control
the colony, but only keep us informed of the colonies. Shall we make a statement to the press or
send some sort of treaty?" a 30 year old, brown eyed and brown haired man, asked as he adjusted
his glasses.
"Statement to the press may anger them. I suggest making a treaty" an elderly
representative suggested.
"I agree. Have Mr. Carlsile write a treaty and present it next week for signing. Lt. James,
if it won't be too much of an inconvinience, will you please deliver the treaty to the colony?"
Relena looked at the young soldier.
"It is of no inconvinience" the Lt. said.
"Is there anything else?" Relena asked.
"Actually, eh, yes there is" a middle aged , red haired, woman said.
"What is it Ms. McKenly?" Relena asked.
"Miss Relena, lately there has been such a thin line between war and peace in the Colony
and Earth Sphere alliance. Rebels who oppose us are trying to convince the colonies to declare
indepence again" Ms. McKenly explained.
"Are the colonies following these rebels?" Relena asked.
"Well, no" Col. Noin answered.
"Then, we have nothing to worry about" Relena said abruptly.
"But what do we do if they are convinced?" Lt. Amberson asked, rather expectedly.
"I suggest we stop them. Capture them all or just arrest any who oppose us" said a
representative.
"No! Of course not. Miss Relena if you were to represent the Earth once again as......
Queen, I'm sure the colonies would deal with these rebels as they see fit. If we take such a
violent action upon them, it will only aide in bringing the Colonies against us" Lt. Amberson
said, as if urging her.
Relena sighed and looked sadly at the table. Queen? Again. I don't think I can Relena
thought.
"No! With rebels being on Earth as well as the Colonies, Relena becoming Queen would
only open a window for possible assassins. We have enough problems with security all ready, we
don't need more people to become involved" Duo snapped.
"Quiet boy! You don't know what you're talking about. As Queen, Miss Peacecraft
would have the best security possible" Lt. Amberson retorted.
Relena stood up and said "Remember that I no longer consider myself a Peacecraft. It
would be no difference if I were to be Queen."
"Even if you were to not preach you old ideals, your methods of peace are the same"
another man said.
Relena stayed quiet for a moment. Say yes my little one Lt. Amberson thought evilly.
"Whatever you think is necessary" Relena sighed.
"Then, there it is!" a young man stood.
"Your highness" Lt. Amberson bowed his head.
Lt. Noin frowned at the people in the table. They said nothing in Relena's defense and
her words would make no difference.
"So Queen Relena how should we deal with the rebels?" Lt. Amberson asked.
Relena stayed quiet. She looked to the floor. Her eyes watered and she thought of all the
bloodshed there had been in the battles. She had been powerless to stop them. What could she do
now? She was weak. She disgraced her name, Peacecraft. How her father would be so ashamed
of her, to have let such terrible things to happen. In that moment, something snapped in her mind
and everything came crashing down. Her face became emotionless, but her eyes showed sorrow.
"Do as you see fit Lt. I...I leave all this to the council" Relena said flatly and began to
walk away.
The eyes of the Gundam Pilots, save Trowa and Heero(who wasn't there), widened and
Noin's. No! This cannot be! He thought as he watched from the air vent. He saw Relena leave
and he cursed under his breath.
"My little sister. What has happened to you?" Milliardo asked himself out loud. He
continued to look into the room for a while and he knew that Relena had left authority to men
who had violent plans at hand.
9:00 PM...
Relena sat in a curled up form next to the window and watched the rain pouring outside.
She was afraid. Afraid to go to sleep, afraid to stay awake. Flashes of the war played in her mind
even when she had her eyes opened. She didn't understand why this was happening to her. She
had always thought that none of this would affect her, but it was starting to. But why now? A year
laterRelena questioned.
There was a knock at her door and Noin and Duo walked into the dimly lit room.
"Miss Relena, we have something very important to discuss" Noin said.
"There is nothing to discuss" Relena said cooly. "But ojousan.." "Please leave" Relena
interrrupted Duo.
Noin frowned and snapped " Miss Relena, do you know what you have done?! You have
left peace in the hands of a madman! Whats wrong? You can't of meant what you said!" Relena
looked up at her with a slightly angered face. "Don't do this! You have no idea what might
happen" Noin continued.
"My mind is made up" Relena said with a monotone voice.
"Don't you see that they're going to ruin everything! Ojousan, you can't let them" Duo
said. Relena's eyes shot toward them and burned holes through them.
"This is discussion is now over" Relena said. They both bowed their heads in defeat.
"Good night ojou.... Miss Relena" Duo walked away.
"I hope you come to your senses. Good night Miss Relena" Noin said and they both left.
Once Relena heard the door close, she closed her eyes and tears fell from them. "I'm
sorry" she whispered.
In the darkness of the room, a cold prussian eye can be seen from within the darkness.
Heero slowly lefted his head to look at Relena. Relena..........
Next Day....
Queen Relena walked through the halls of the building. In her 'royal' dress and crown.
Just as she did when OZ had appointed her Queen. Her face still looked the same , youthful and
innocent, but sad. The only change was her body, which filled the dress more nicely at the top.
Butlers and maids that wlkaed passed her could see the disconsolate look on her face. Her face
once held high in pride, now looked to the floor in defeat.
She walked out of the tall and large building. She looked towards the busy street in front
and photographers taking pictures at the gate. She walked to the awaiting black car and a security
guard opened the door for her. She looked back at the large office building, where she had spent
all her Vice Foreign Minister days in, and stepped into the car.
Inside the car, were the Preventers 5. Quatre and Trowa sat beside her. While, Duo drove
and Wufei sat in the passenger seat in front, all wearing their Preventers uniform. Relena looked
around the car and of course she noticed one person missing. Heero wasn't there.
Trowa sensed the question in her eyes. "We couldn't find him. I'm sure he'll show up
sooner or later" Trowa said.
"Couldn't find him?" Relena asked, rather confused.
"The man can only be pursued when he wants to be found" Wufei said.
"I see" Relena said.
Sanc Kingdom.......
Some roads to the Sanc Kingdom Palace had to be closed or blocked, for the Queen's
safety. Relena didn't expect many people to be there, but she was met by a surpirse. Outside the
palace, were many people. Butlers, maids, general public, and some reporters.
As soon as she got off the crowd began to clap. Trowa grabbed her arm and began to
lead her through the crowd of clapping and cheering people.
Once inside, Relena was met by another surprise. It was a middle aged woman, with
green eyes and red hair. The woman smiled.
"Mrs. Thomas" Relena said in surprise.
"It has been a long time your majesty" Mrs. Thomas said.
"Hey, ojousan, who is she?" Duo asked.
"Gentleman, this is my old school teacher, Mrs. Elana Thomas. Mrs. Thomas, these are
my most trusted guard, the Preventers 5" Relena said.
"Oh, I don't think there is any need for introduction. But, where is the renowned Heero
Yuy?" Mrs. Thomas asked.
"I'm afraid contact with Mr. Yuy was unattainable" Relena said.
"Oh, what a shame" Mrs. Thomas said.
"Mrs. Thomas please forgive my rudeness, but may I ask why you have come here?"
Relena asked.
"Of course. You see, your school for Girls has long since merged with St. Andrew's
School for Boys. We did our best to prevent that from happening, but it soon became inevitable.
Now the reason why I am here is because our Headmistress has taken a leave of absence and we
are such a prestigous school, we need organization daily. We were hoping you could appoint
someone to us" Mrs. Thomas explained.
"I see. Well, I am sorry, but I have no one who could take over such a position, but it
would more than an honor to be Headmistress myself" Relena said.
"Oh, your highness! Thank you" Mrs. Thomas said.
"Miss Relena..." Noin was about to say something but Relena hushed her.
"I will be at the school on Monday. Inform the teachers of my arrival" Relena smiled.
Dinner...
"Miss Relena there are many dangerous things going on. As Queen, just attending a
school could be dangerous"Duo said.
"Yes, Miss Relena this would mean that you would have to have around the clock
protection. There are too many dangers, the idea is absolutely absurd. What if something happens
to you?" Noin said.
"Well, that is why we pay you Preventers, so that you can 'prevent' that sort of thing"
Relena said matter of factly as she drank from her glass. She made a sour face at the taste of the
wine and set the glass down.
*Shock* Relena had never said anything to direct before. Usually she'd be more discrete
and nice about things. But she had just insulted them and they had no idea what to say.
"Uh,well....jeez" Duo sighed in defeat.
"Um...well Miss Relena," Noin was tongue tied, "we.....you are being very careless...you
can't be so blind about this!"
"I am no blind man to this situation. I am well aware the dangers,"then Relena looked
down at the table with sad eyes, "and I'm not being careless...I..I just don't care."
She then looked up a them with a cold face, but they could clearly see the turmoil in her
eyes. "This discussion is now over."
Relena stood up and said, "Good night gentlemen, Miss Noin, Miss Sally."
"Where are you going Miss Relena?" Quatre asked.
"I'm going to bed" Relena answered as she exited the dining hall.
"She just doesn't understand" Duo said.
"Women are something I will never understand, nor do I want to. The only thing they
have in common with us men is the fact that we are both ignorant,.. but WE are more vigilant"
Wufei said in pride.
"Oh, hush up Wufei!" Sally scolded.
"She just doesn't understand the dangers" Noin said.
"That's not what concerns me. What concerns me more is what she said in retaliation to
your comment Miss Noin" the ever silent one, Trowa, said.
"What is that?" Noin asked.
"She doesn't care" Trowa answered.
Everything that I feared is happening. I should have shielded her better Milliardo
thought as he watched everything from a dark corner of the room, hidden behind a tall plant.
Relena's Room....
Relena sat in front of her mirror and looked at her regal reflection with sad eyes. "What
have I done? I am no longer worthy of this position. I cannot lead the people to peace. I have
allowed too much hatred and death to progress. I...I have dishonored my family and the teachings
of my father have long since faded. I have no where to turn, no where to go.....I'm lost" she said.
It was true. She never believed that all the hatred and destruction she had seen would
affect her, but it was. Relena's mind had been made so pure and innocent that it could be easily
corrupted and destroyed.
She looked toward her vanity and saw a glass of red wine set on it. What is that doing
here? she wondered and stood up. She walked over to it and her mind told her You know
EXACTLY why it is here. She picked up the glass and stared at it. She looked into the bloody
pools of the wine inside the crystalline glass. I mustn't she thought. Then out of no where her
eyes became heavy and they slowly closed, embracing the darkness. The glass fell from her
ungloved hand and fell to the floor, breaking into a million pieces. Time seemed to move slowly
as her body touched the glass like floor. The last thing she heard was the falling of her crown.
So with that cleared up... enjoy another Heero/Relena fanfic. Standard Disclaimers: not mine. don't sue. I'm broke. (and now for my signing quote)
