What If?…A Song Fic

By: Creed

            Intro: the boys had been called on another mission. They were all making the final adjustments to their Gundams…and each were thinking the same thing…

I can't find the rhyme in all my reason.

            "Why am I doing this?" Each of the Gundam Pilots wondered. "Why had such a cruel destiny been laid on me?"

I lost the sense of time and all seasons.

            "I've been doing this for so long." Heero thought. "This can't be all there is to life."

Feel I've been beaten down.

            Quatre looked up as his Gundam. "Professor H was right." He thought. "This ended up being a crueler destiny…will it ever end?"

By the words of men who have no ground.

"Just because I was only a mechanic and a nameless soldier before that does not mean that I can't be a Gundam pilot." Trowa thought angry with the people who had scorned and mocked him. "I can do this."

Can't sleep beneath the trees of wisdom…

            "In the end will you really be stronger?" Wufei asked himself.

When your ax has cut the roots that feed them.

            "Or will it all be in vain? One more chapter in this bloody book of war."

Forked tongues and bitter lies can drive a man to bleed from inside out.

            "I will be the god of death forever if I have to!" Duo thought placing his hands on the controls. "But never will I lie! I have been hurt but I will not hurt others in the same way."

What if you did?

"What if I refused a mission?" Heero asked.

What if you lied?

            "But if it really came down to it…would I lie? To save a life maybe…but still…" Duo tightened his grip on the controls.

What if I avenge?

            "It would be the perfect excuse to avenge my father." Quatre thought. "But do I really want to cause that much pain?"

What if "Eye for an Eye"?

            "I say that I fight Traize in all my battles…but is that really true? Or am I just out to please myself?" Wufei wondered.

I've seen the wicked fruit of your vine.

            "I've been through worse." Duo thought remembering back to his past. "I stooped low before. Killed for no reason…but I don't have to anymore."

Destroy the man that lacks a strong mind.

            "You aren't strong enough." Wufei told himself. "The other guys are stronger. They should be going on this mission…not you."

Human pride sings a vengeful song.

            "You don't have to worry about what happens on this mission." Trowa thought. "You are just a nameless soldier. You aren't in the lead…but would you like to be?"

Inspired by the times you've been walked on.

            "You could avenge the insults. Make a name for yourself…but would it be right?"

My stage is shared by many millions.

            "We aren't the only soldiers capable of doing this kind of thing…but why do I feel so responsible for the lives of the other pilots?" Heero asked himself as he prepared Wing ZERO for takeoff.

Who lift up their hands high because they feel this…

            "People are counting on us." Heero thought. "There are so many lives to save…but can you save them all?"

"We are strong."

            "Are you ready?" Heero asked the other pilots. "We'll stand beside you." They all thought. "We've made our decision."

The more you hold us down…

            "No matter what may come against us…"

The more we press on.

            "We know what path we have chosen and we will not turn back."

What if you did?

            "What if you succeeded in your mission…not just this mission but your mission in life?" Heero wondered.

What if you lied?

           

            "No one can pull you down. you don't have to go against your beliefs." Duo thought.

What if I avenge?

            "There are people who need your help." Quatre thought. "Father may you rest in peace."

What if "Eye for an eye"?

            "What if? That's a good question." Trowa said to the other pilots. "But why stop there?" Quatre said. "He's right you know." Wufei said. "What if we succeed?" the boys thought. "Or how about…when we succeed?"

What if…
