"After all these years…" Sanders said quietly. The former "Grim Reaper" remembered the feeling of war all too clearly. He was a known pilot but did not want to be related with death.
Beldaran was still waiting for the "long story" her father had promised her but she probably knew it might be a while, her mother's face was pale and there were certain hints of anger in Shiro's eyes. Beldaran thought it had been quiet for much too long but when she saw mouths moving and she couldn't hear it Beldaran opened her mouth to protest but it wouldn't move.
Slowly her vision too crept away leaving Beldaran totally literally in the dark. "Momma! Papa!" she screamed over and over in her mind. Then there it was a huge mecha in front of the darkness. She must have been able to hear again because sounds of blasts and explosions were all she heard. Cries of agony sounded out and the time the giant Gundam in front of her remained silent and tall. Unresponsive. The cries of many oaths were being shot of the dark in a myriad number of voices all whispering "I am NOT the Grim Reaper!", "I'm going to live!", " I don't know if these letters will stop coming…", "I am NOT going to die!", "You're like a Goddess…"
So much emotion and pain and still the Mecha stood there silent, tall. Unresponsive.
"No! Stop it! Stop it all!" she shouted loudly. Nothing, no response.
"I want to help! I can to something" the small girl said firmly.
Silently the giant mecha moved in its hands that where in a fist unfurled a small golden object on a chain.
"For me?" she questioned. The Gundam nodded.
"I'm not alone, am I" Beldaran concluded.
The blue-haired girl climbed on to the giant un-humane hand. The object was a necklace maybe…No it was a watch, she heard ticking. Fumbling around with the golden watch Beldaran managed to open it in side was the watch and a picture with a hole in the middle of it…It looked like her mother and someone else.
"Thank you" Beldaran said politely to the unresponsive Gundam. Curious she told the Mecha: "You know maybe you should smile once in awhile you perk up a bit" Beldaran said slyly and beamed a smile at the mecha. She could have swore though she heard a small strange laugh. She didn't know how she was going back (or any direction) But Beldaran knew she was going back. Lightly her eyes fluttered open and everything still looked normal. The watch was still in her hand.
She didn't in the least think anything was strange about that meeting it had given her a sense of peace. She was not alone and wondered why she hadn't figured that out earlier. She was supposed to do something, which she didn't know yet and had to know that she wasn't alone but at this moment she knew she had something to take care of.
Walking up calmly towards the table where Shiro had his head down on it and Aina comfortingly had she arm around him.
Beldaran said softly: "Papa?" and he looked up at his daughter.
Beldaran handed the watch to him and told him. "You're not alone." She smiled tactfully too.
Aina and Shiro's eyes widened. "Bel where did you- he began but Aina shushed him and picket up the locket to open it. This time she looked quite shocked it was a picture of Karen, Eledore, Michel, Kiki, Sanders and herself. Also there wasn't even a hole in it from when it stopped a bullet for her.
"We're going Aina to see your brother." Shiro said firmly. "Thank you Bel for restoring my faith" he told the little girl. The whole 08th MS wasn't going to be convinced that easily though it was going to take a whole lot of effort to prove they where going to stop Aina's madman brother and each had a set of fears they needed to face…
Author's Notes: Short chapter but here's what I've decided (Warning longgg with personal views). You, the reader are going to get to see each of the rest of the 08th MS Team's character personalities so don't worry I'm getting to it I can't focus this whole thing on Shiro, Aina and Beldaran, what kind of story would that be? I'm not sure yet of what to do with the Eledore and Karen couple, as I know little ways to impress fans of their couples so leave me time with that and a hint at it in the story. I feel Eledore would be more open to his feelings if he would stop hiding them with his sense of humor, Karen is more open to tell you exactly what she's thinking whether you like it or not.
I don't know what happen to Bebi-and don't care (Michel's letter girl friend) but when I saw Michel and Kiki together I instantly thought HOW CUTE!!! (insert girlish squeals) We all know how Kiki had a semi crush on Shiro while Michel confided in her and was the one that was sensitive to his feelings. That's my reason for doing that couple if you people think it was strange or where the heck did that pairing come from in that girl's sick mind? Anyway I feel a need to do something with Sanders. We all know about the Grim Reaper ordeal but what about personally what's going on with him? Can't you see him as a guy with a father-ly influence? Maybe he's wanted a family of his own but was still afraid of getting the ones he cared about killed? Or maybe it's a whole hair thing…erm I'm not to found of the hairstyle but that's just me…(ducks from tomatoes)
The whole 08th MS Team series was too short! (Of course that leaves room for FanFiction bwhaah) I'd like to see other 08th MS Team fics! So if you have one written or know about a good one could you e-mail it to me at falling_star1010@hotmail.com ? I wanna see what other people think about the series and the characters! I can't even find a decent 08th MS Team website! Let alone screen shots or fics. Anyway thanks for listening to my random babbling and the next chapter will be up soon. Ja!
