"Hey, Megami...?"
"Yes, Duo? What is it?" Megami whispered.
"I'm really sorry about Wufei. He's just..."
"...A butt head? I've noticed. Duo, let's just get this over with so
we can get these cuffs off, okay? I'm sorry, but I'm not in the mood for
fun and games." Megami said in a curt voice, similar to the one she used
when she was with OZ.
"...Sure..." Duo replied, turning away, Wonder what's with her?>
I'm way too close to the moon. Why did this base have to be here?!
If I'm not lucky Duo will see me in my other form. I can't have that.>
They retrieved the plans in total silence. Megami worrying about her
transformation, and Duo trying not to think of anything to do with water.
In a matter of minutes Duo tripped and fell with a; "Wak!" bringing
Megami to the floor with him.
Megami landed on top of him, "Sssh! Do you want them to hear us? ...Duo?
What's wrong?"
Duo wasn't moving. Megami checked his pulse, it was steady. She checked
his breathing by holding her hand over his face, she couldn't tell. Oh
for heaven's sake! Do I really have to do this?> Blushing, she leaned over
him so that her face was inches from his. She felt his breath blowing against
her skin, Whew! He's alive. But how am I supposed to wake him up?>
Footsteps echoed through the almost empty halls as Megami carried Duo
on her back, Okay... I'm lost now. I wish Duo'd wake up so we can go
through the air ducts...> A gunshot sounded behind her, Shit! I think
I'm gonna have to transform soon!>
"Stop there, you! Get back here or I'll shoot!"
"Stuff it! I've got better things to do than sit around and get shot
at by amateurs like YOU!" Megami shouted jumping over two other soldiers
heads and transferring Duo from her back and into her arms. ...I don't
think I can keep it down much longer... but what if Duo wakes up when I'm
in my other form?> Two more shots sounded, one going by her head and the
other skimming her shoulder. No choice left, that could've hit Duo.>
Megami closed her eyes, Dissolve, dissolve, and break the bonds...
Gods of light and night... return me to my real form!>
Still clinging to Duo Megami floated in the air in a cascade of light.
Wings of liquid gold flew from her back and a star appeared on her forehead.
Her OZ uniform faded and became a robe of stars and moonlight and her earrings
took the form of water droplets. Most of the soldiers dropped their guns,
those who kept them in their hands started firing at the fleeing goddess.
I'm getting tired... must get to Deathscythe...> Megami shook her head
I will NOT pass out! I will not let Duo get hurt! No!> She turned to
the few soldiers still following her, "Will you fools just give up?! Don't
make me hurt you." They responded by throwing a grenade at her. "O-kay!
BE that way! Turn galaxy, planets, and wheel of time! ATTACK!!" She pointed
one hand at the men, "See ya!" With that their lives were all ended in
a mere millisecond.
There! The Deathscythe!> Megami looked sadly at Duo's face, You
poor thing... I can't believe I got you into something like this... huh?>
Megami pulled a pin from Duo's neck, Is this how you were knocked out?>
She floated into the cockpit and pushed the auto pilot button and set a
course for Peace Million. Laying Duo's head on her lap she slumped back
against the wall, falling asleep instantly.
A little girl snuck through the halls of the Alliance's lunar base. "I wonder where mommy is... she has to be here somewhere... maybe she's in this room..." The little ten year old entered a round room full of computers and other machinery. In the center there was a giant glowing tube with a beautiful woman suspended in it. "...Is that you, mama? No... you don't have hair that long... are you someone else's mama?" The woman made no reply. Suddenly two men rounded the corner carrying guns. The next few moments flashed quickly by. Gunshots being fired, explosions, liquid from the tube cascading over the girl along with glass shards, a searing pain... Blackness. And cold.>
"Ugh!"Megami said, sitting up and shivering. "What...?" She looked down,
Duo was still in her lap and she was back in her mortal form. "That memory...
why does it keep coming back...?"
