A/n: For all of you who were wondering, this takes place after GW but before EW. Sorry I didn't mention this earlier, I knew I should have! Sorry the chapters are kinda slow and short so far, but it'll get better I promise!

Duo held the cue ball for a second longer before placing it
on the desired spot of the pool table. This was the last shot of the game and
he had a hundred dollars riding on it.
"Eight ball corner pocket." He replied and touched the
pocket he was speaking of.
He hit the ball and heard the crack of one hitting another.
The eight ball went into the said pocket and Duo picked up the cash. He was
very content about the whole thing. The guy he was playing against wasn't as
excited. He walked over and stopped Duo before he could leave.
"I want my money back punk." He told Duo.
"Hey man, look I won it fair and square." Duo said and
tried to leave once again.
"Don't make me tell you twice, give me my money back."
"I don't want to start anything okay." Duo told him. The
man just wouldn't get over the fact that Duo had won the money. He raised his
hand to punch him, but before he could land a hit, Duo had already dug his own
fist into the guy's stomach. "Next time, listen to me."
The guy was doubled over in pain as Duo finally left the
pool hall, now he was going to put the money he had just won to good use, food.

So, I'm just a weapon, a weapon to destroy everything. My past is it real? I'm immortal? Does that mean I'll never die? But, what if I want to. If I can't die…then…I'll destroy, a machine gone mad, out of control. No one will be able to stop me. I'll obliterate everything, Oz, the colonies, and even earth.
"But where will that leave me?" Heero thought out
loud. He had already left the compound and was walking around a section of the
city on L1.
I'd like to act through on my feelings…but I learned to be like this. It's all right for humans to act according to their feelings.
"I'm not human though…"Heero
said as he realized something.
What is my purpose? I thought I was here to fight for the good of the colonies but now, I'm not so sure. Who is my enemy? Is everyone my enemy? Those who oppose me are my enemies. The whole world is opposing me…everyone is my enemy…I will…destroy.
An eerie look could be
seen on Heero's face. It was as if the ZERO system was activated within him.
That same look of confusion and hatred was there.
Heero had his mind made up;
he was going to destroy his enemy. The entire civilization was his enemy. He
was not first planned to be a weapon, but then he was reprogrammed, the perfect
soldier was going to become the perfect weapon.
