THE LAST UNICORN

Heero swore. Going as fast as he could, it would take Wing Zero 30 minutes to get to Amy.

"Where are they fighting anyway? There are no Oz bases this far into the wilderness, only a deserted town." Trowa voiced his thoughts.

"Don't know," Wufei answered, "but if they asked for our help, there must be a problem, a big one."

As they finally neared the battle zone Trowa shut his eyes. There was twisted metal everywhere, most of it on fire; pieces of people lay scattered about. The fighting was over, they were too late. The pilots climbed out of their Gundams to search for survivors. Duo spotted what was left of Amanda's gundam, only it was melted in several places, the cockpit was open and no one was inside. Stepping over someone's arm, he listened hard. He heard it again; calling to the others he led them towards the sound. Someone was singing. Breaking into a clearing they saw the worst thing they could think of. Amy was on all fours beside 3 fresh graves. She was singing in a clear voice.

When the last eagle flies

Over the last crumbling mountain

And the last dying rose

At the last dusty fountain

In the shadow of the forest

Though she may be old and worn

They will stare un-believing

At the last Unicorn

When the first breath of winter

Through the flowers is icing

And you look to the north

And the pale moon is rising

And it seems like all is dying

And will leave the world to mourn

In the distance hear the

Laughter of the last Unicorn

When the last moon has cast

Over the last star of mourning

And the future has passed

Without even a last, desperate warning

Then look into the sky where threw

The clouds have passed in storm

Look and see how she sparkles.

She's the last Unicorn

Her sobs drowned out the last of the words. Duo sat down beside her, feeling sick with grief, he didn't notice that Wufei had already thrown up. Quatre simply collapsed. He was numb. First his Father, now Amanda, Cara and Cheryl. Why did every one he cared about have to die? Trowa gently pulled Amy against his shoulder, she didn't resist, crying into his shoulder. Trowa held her gently and rocked her back and forth. Heero had taken Wufei's sword and chopped off several branches, he started to rip his top, but Wufei, knowing what Heero was doing, had already ripped his pants into strips. Taking 3 out of the pile, Heero continued what he was doing. Wufei carried the rest of the strips to Trowa and silently place them next to the tall boy. Trowa looked at Wufei's now pair of shorts and nodded his thanks. Amy pulled away from Trowa.

"There were too many. We tried our best. Cara even self detonated. There were too many, I…..I didn't get to say goodbye." then she passed out. Heero placed the crude crosses he had made on the graves, then for the first time in his life as a gundam pilot. He cried.

Seeing the perfect soldier crying was too much for Duo. He broke down, crying until he thought he would drown. Even Trowa was crying, he kept using the bandages he was using for Amy's wounds to wipe his eyes.
