The Solitary Dragon No Longer
My first ever Wufei and Sally fic. Not to mention my first Wufei fic. Enjoy! ^_~v Sorry for taking off Duo and His Rascal and Revelations couldn't think of anything else to write. If I do, they'll be up again.
Disclaimer: I don't own them.
It was over. The one thing left in his war-stricken world was gone and there was nothing left to live for. Wufei sat alone in Altron and contemplated what was left for him. He had been too late. Too late to save his first love and his second. Sally was gone, face down in a pool of her own blood, lying right there before his very eyes. Her life spreading out around her broken form in a crimson pool that represented his own tainted existence, his bloodied hands.
"Why?" He whispered out loud to himself. "Why am I so weak? Why can't I save the people close to me?" His voice rose with each passing word until his own anger collapsed about him and left only fear and sorrow. Fear of what was going to happen without her and sorrow for the fact that he never got to say what he had been wanting to for the longest time. That he had finally pushed his blocks aside and let the smallest amount of affection out. The affection that would have finally let him say, I love you.

"Wufei! We need you over here at sector four right now!" Sally screamed into her comm-link. She was fending off hundreds of attackers with only a Taurus suit and a handful of soldiers.
"Can you hold out for ten more minutes?" Without waiting for an answer the Asian continued to fight, without mercy, with the commanding officers at odds of five to one. "You are all weak!" He screamed as Altron took another hit and recoiled. "I will defeat you!" Streams of white-hot flames burst from the Dragon Fangs, anialating one third of his enemies. He ducked and weaved, taking out MS after MS. Finally they were gone leaving Wufei exhausted. Remembering Sally's distress call he sprinted to sector four only to find it was too late. She had self-detonated, leaving only the charred remains of her Taurus and other enemy suits as well as her soldiers. It had been a kamikaze mission with no way out. He had only drawn out the inevitable.

"Sally. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you." He bowed his head as the tears began to fall. "I failed you. Please forgive me." She had given her life in the name of peace.
"Peace." Wufei spat out. "What meaning does that word hold anymore!" He clenched his fists in anger. "You stupid people will never know the meaning of peace!" Yelling out loud he rammed his fist into the consol, ignoring the sparks that flew up at him. He shook his head just Deathscythe crashed through the ceiling followed by the others.
"Whoa..." Duo whispered. "What happened Wufei?"
"Leave. Please." Wufei pleaded. Hoping they would just leave. Leave him alone forever. Quatre spoke up.
"Guys, we should go." Sandrock slowly backed up left to wait outside for the others. Trowa was the next one to go, followed by Duo. Only Heero and Wufei were left now.
"I understand Wufei. I'll tell the others."
"Thank you Heero." The Asian whispered as Zero joined the others. He could here the Gundams walking slowly out of range. Opening the cockpit he jumped down and gathered Sally's body in his arms and took the lift back up. Sealing his Gundam again he flipped up the cover over the small red button. Kissing Sally's life-less lips he pressed it and whispered good-bye.
