Death's Legacy
Chapter Three
Deity sat in the driver's seat of her old hand me down car at Classic 50's [1] waiting for her food. The four new students were with her some chatting others glaring into nothingness. Elodea Barton was doing most of the talking as Deity listened carefully. These people were unlike any other she had had the pleasure of knowing. Even though she tried desperately to pay attention to Elodea her mind, and eyes, kept drifting to the brooding youth in the driver's side back seat. His prussian blue eyes stared out from unruly dark brown bangs, which sent shivers up and down her spine. He looked so familiar but she couldn't put her finger on were she had seen that face before.
"Deity?"
"Hmmm," Deity looked up at a confused Elodea realizing she had been day dreaming. "Oh I'm sorry Elodea I got distracted." Elodea smiled and flipped some curly red hair behind her shoulders. Then for the first time Deity noticed the strange beads christening Elodea's brow.
"Elodea may I ask what is this," she said motioning to the green and gold beads. A diamond shaped green jewel was resting in between her eyebrows with a tiny tear shaped pearl dangled below. Arching over her eyebrows were tiny diamond shape green and gold pieces. Elodea smiled and flicked the tiny pearl so it swung rapidly back and forth.
"To tell you the truth I have no Earthly idea," she said resting both hands in her lap, "They've been there ever since I can remember." Deity smiled and unconsciously rubbed the cross around her neck. "Well as long as we're sharing stories how about the one behind that cross of yours," said Elodea smiling gently. Deity looked at her and then at the others in the back. The one named Colin stared at her his face showing his curiosity. The young Chinese woman only stared at her with a disgusted arrogance while Guy Yuy just plain stared.
"Well it use to belong to my father and…" she watched as everyone in the car shifted uncomfortably at the mention of her father. " Well my Mother gave it to me."
"What happened to you Father," asked the young blonde boy leaning forward slightly.
"Well not much at all, I don't even know if he's alive or dead, but I do believe he past on or my mother wouldn't ran about what a wonderful man he was so yah." She suddenly felt very uncomfortable and shifted noticing out her window there food had arrived.
~~*~~*~~*~~
"Kerie Eleison, eleison, eleison…" [2] sang the choir letting the haunting melody of the old hymn float through the room. Deity tried to concentrate on her part but found her thoughts drifting to the mysterious new boy.
"Miss Peaceon I'm sorry is choir time cutting in on your free time?" Deity snapped out of her trance and stared at her choir director.
"No Mr. G [3], I'm sorry," she said lowering her head in embarrassment. Mr. Gonzalez looked at her over the brim of his glasses and then continued to lead the choir. Deity looked at her music and tried once again to concentrate on her part. Just as they were reaching the climactic crescendo the final bell rang and the students rushed for the door. As Deity reached the parking lot she noticed the new students standing by the door. A friendly wave from Elodea urged her to head over to the group. After a moment of talking she talked them into meeting her mother. As they drove to her home she looked around the car at her new "friends". She smiled and silently thanked whoever was out there for sending them to help her through Sandy's absence.

Relena shifted around the house trying to get dinner ready before Deity arrived home from school. Her day at work had been hard but it was considered a breeze in her book at what she used to do. A desk job is much easier than making ten speeches a day, she thought to herself as she added some salt to the chicken before sticking it in the oven. Being on her own to raise a child the past 18 years had given her a new outlook on life. She was no longer the dainty princess, but a survivor. Though she had slightly aged and her honey color haircut into a short bob, her regal stance never seemed to fade from her posture. Her blue green eyes still had that hope filled sparkle though it had been dulled from the pain of loss. The sound of keys in the door brought her out of her thoughts as her she heard her daughter calling her.
"Mom I'm home, I'd like you to meet some people." Relena smiled and headed for the front door.
"Who is it dear who have you brought ov….OH," Relena felt her blood run cold as a young man her daughters age came into sight behind a group of other teenagers. He was the one that startled her. He was an exact copy of Heero Yuy down to the cold prussian blue eyes. She felt her knees buckle and the next thing she knew she was on the ground her daughter and a blond hared boy by her side. "Heero?" she gasped as the other boy stepped forward. In the distance she heard someone calling her.
"Mom, Mom oh my God Mom are you alright, Mom?" It was Deity she looked at her beautiful daughter and tried to speak but she was still in shock. Then she noticed the blonde boy also by her side. "Quatre?" she whispered. They all looked so familiar, who where they.
"Well Miss Peacecraft it is an honor to finally meet you," she looked at the Heero look alike in shock.
"Peacecraft…What are you talking about, Mom what's going on?" Relena finally managed to gain her composure and she sat from her position on the floor.
"Deity please invite our guests into the kitchen, I have a feeling we all have some things to discuss."
~~*~~*~~*~~
Relena sipped on her ice water and stared at the four new teenagers and her daughter. She set her class down and folded her hands in front of her and rested them on the tabletop. "Well now you all obviously know who I really am, so I think it's your turn to tell me who you are." The red headed girl was the first to speak.
"My name is Elodea Barton, pilot of the Gundam Artillery."
"My name is Colin Winner, pilot of the Gundam Sandstone."
"My name is Marian Chang, pilot of the Gundam Hydra."
"My name is Guymond Yuy, pilot of the Gundam Aileron." Relena looked at each teenager trying to soak in all the information. Along with there names the added there position and gundams. Meaning the gundams where rebuilt which most likely meant a war.
"Now that I know who you are I can guess your respective parents, but I have one last question why are you here?" The young man named Guy stood from his seat and looked straight at her.
"We are here to enlist Deity Maxwell as the pilot of the Gundam Cataclysm." Deity stared at the boy her face filled with a painful confusion.
"Maxwell, mother what is going on?" Relena stared at her daughter as the young girl's eyes filled with tears. This was an awful lot to take and only a week after her friend's passing.
"My daughter will NOT pilot a gundam, I will not lose her too."
"Miss Peacecraft with all do respect, Deity is needed in the fight for peace, as the former Vice Foreign Minister you should understand this."
"Vice Foreign Minister, Alright now I DEMAND an explanation." Relena turned her gaze from the young
Winner heir to her daughter. She sighed knowing her daughter had a right to know.
"Deity sweetheart, my real name is Relena Peacecraft former Queen of the World, former ruler of the Sanq Kingdom, and former Vice Foreign Minister of the Earth's Sphere Alliance." Relena watched as he daughter's jaw dropped and she stared at her mother. Relena cleared her throat and continued, "Your father was Duo Maxwell the…"
"Duo Maxwell…THE Duo Maxwell…as in one of the gundam pilots during the Eve and Marimaia wars?" Relena shook her head and closed her eyes as memories flooded her brain, memories she had tried so hard to forget.
"Miss Peacecraft my father has asked that you and your daughter be brought back to our Main facility." Relena stared at the young Yuy and nodded her head. What else was she to do, it looks like the past she was trying to forget finally caught up with her.
