Last time:
"Quatre?" a familiar voice asked. It sounded of soft
bells chiming in the wind. The subtle scent of lilies hung in the air. His eyes
widened. Could it be?
He looked up. Cerulean blue clashed with sky blue.
"U… Usagi?" Quatre managed to whisper.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Quatre! It *is* you!" the lithe girl all but threw
herself into his arms. She looked up at him, blue eyes shinig with unshed
tears. "I… I thought you were dead. I thought everyone was dead!" she said,
voice soft. "I saw the house explode and everything!"
"You saw the house explode? How?" Quatre asked in
confusion.
"Dr. J showed me a tape… and told me you had all died…" Her eyes widened suddenly
in realization. She turned to the scientist who had been watching them.
"That's dishonorable and injustice!" (A.N: Can you guess
who that is?) Wufei frowned. "Have you no honor that you lie to this onna and
force her to fight in a war? The weak should not fight!"
"She herself agreed to it," Dr. J answered.
"But only after you tricked her," Trowa observed quietly,
arms crossed over his chest.
"Man, I didn't know that the doctors could sink so low as
to lie to such a babe!" Duo winked at Usagi.
Heero said nothing, but simply glared at Dr. J. The old
man met their gazes calmly.
"If you quit your job as a pilot, what will happen to the
colonies? There has been an increase in the number of Oz bases destroyed since
you have been promoted to this position, Usagi. Do you want innocent civilians
to be killed just because I lied to you?" Dr. J raised an eyebrow. "Do you?"
"I… I guess I have to do this, huh? I can't let all those
who depend on us down… Alright, Dr. J, you win," the blonde haired girl sighed
in resignation.
The good doctor nodded.
"Are you sure about this, Usagi?" Quatre watched her,
blue eyes filled with concern.
"It's for the good of the colonies… I have to, Quatre.
You know that," she answered quietly.
He nodded, understanding how she felt.
"Is this your Gundam?" Duo asked, noticing the mobile suit behind them. The other pilots also turned, wondering what this new machine would look like.
The
huge mobile suit consisted mostly of silver with hints of black. Its cold ice
blue eyes glowed eerily in the darkness. Was it just their imagination, but did
this Gundam seem almost… alive?
"Why,
yes it is. Minna-san, I would like you to meet my partner… Gundam Starlight,"
Usagi smiled fondly at the machine, and its eyes seemed to twinkle back at her.
"Yo,
Q-man, there's something I'd like to ask… How do you know Usagi?" Duo asked.
"For
once, I agree with Maxwell. Well, Winner?" Wufei raised an eyebrow.
"Well,
Usa here is…" Quatre's reply was cut off as alarms went off all over the base.
"Oz
is attacking one of our bases on Colony L-6!" a soldier reported, running in.
"You
heard him, go and destroy those Oz mobile suits!" Doctor J ordered.
"Mission
accepted." As soon as the familiar words came out of the Perfect Soldier's
mouth, the pilots were in their respective Gundams and were soon flying towards
the Colony.
"Usa…
I can't lose you now that I just found you… I won't… This I swear," Quatre
thought as they sped towards the fight. Little did he know that fate had
something different in store for them…
Author's Note: Sorry if this came out just now! It's just that my computer time has been reduced to weekends… . I'll try to get the songfics out as soon as possible! Another evil cliffhanger… Want to know what happens next? Review and you'll find out in the next chapter!
