Wow, I got three reviews. o_O; I didn't think people would actually like
this, this was more of something I was doing because I enjoyed. I'm so glad
others enjoy it too! ^^ Please review this people. I want you all to be
brutally honest. How else am I going to improve? Anyway, minasan! domo
arigato gozaimasu! I really appreciate all the reviews. Well, here is the
next (Rather short, sorry x_X) chapter of And They Shed Tears Of Blood!

Chapter III: Confusion
"What's that?" A young man said, as he dropped his cup of tea, spilling it on the brightly colored Persian rug underneath him. The sounds of the Emergency Sirens had startled him. He stood up, not even acknowledging the spilt tea, leaving a large, brown splotch on the vivid floor decoration; and walked over to the window. He gasped at what he saw. The gargantuan, black and gray Wing Zero stood just a few meters away. "Wing…Zero? No… It looks… Different…" A man ran into the room, exhausted and with a worried look on his face.
"Master Quatre…*huff*…" The man managed to say. Quatre whirled around to face the man, a puzzled look on his face. The main straightened up and his breathing returned to normal.
"Master Quatre… We have to get you out of here… A Gundam has been spotted…"
"I know… That's why I'm so worried." Quatre walked past the man and to the TV that sat by the chair. He turned it on and the image of a man, wearing a space suit and helmet, appeared. Quatre watched, worried, that peace might be broken…

"Darkness…I'm scared… Big brother, where are you?" A little girl cried, looking around through a dense fog of darkness. She sniffled a bit, trying to hold back the tears of being alone. "Big brother…!" She cried once again, this time a tear rolled down her cheek, realizing that she was all alone… The pain hit her in waves and she fell to her knees and started to cry. The darkness began to surge around her, slowly enclosing her. "Help me! Big brother! Help meeeeeee…"
"Aria, wake up!"
"Huh…? Big brother?"
"Dammit Aria, wake up!" The voice continued to call as the darkness slowly began to break. A small light appeared and the little girl walked towards it.
"Aria… Thank god you're alright…" Aria slowly opened her eyes, unaware of who was speaking or where she was. She awoke to see the smiling face of Kyo, hovering above her. Her head hurt. "What happened?" She thought to herself as she slowly sat up.
"W… What happened…?" She stammered, trying to collect herself. She looked around at the cockpit. It was a wreck. Many of the controls sparked and smoke filled the room, lit by the eerie red glow of the emergency lights.
"Don't you remember? That Gundam attacked… We're lucky to be alive" Kyo replied haphazardly. Aria could sense his fear and worry and they echoed her own. She slowly stood up and walked over to the control console and began to press buttons. Just as she thought, the ship was in horrible condition. Their engines were dead and there was a hull breach in the cargo holds. Oxygen was running low and so was emergency power.
"It can't end this way…" Aria thought to herself, "It just can't…"

"Citizens of Colony L-4!" The voice blared out over the TV as Quatre sat there in silence and stared at the screen. "You all have the honor of being the first colony liberated from the Earth Sphere Unified Nation! Now is a time to rejoice!" The man continued from the cockpit of the cruel war machine. Quatre sighed as he watched. It seemed that past mistakes were going to be once again repeated. "You are also the first colony of Earth to become part of the Scarlet Rose Empire! Now is a time for celebration!"
"Is he mad?" Quatre blurted out as he stood up from his chair. One man against the entire Earth Sphere… "It isn't logical… I … I don't know what Heero is up to… Why, Heero… Why repeat the mistakes of the past…" Quatre continued, talking to himself as he watched the screen. So many questions plagued his mind. Why was Heero doing this? There was no doubt in his mind that it was Heero, only he could pilot the Wing Zero, but how did it survive the destruction? Was Gundanium truly that strong? And what is the Scarlet Rose Empire… Something about it seemed oddly familiar to Quatre. With that he stood up and walked to his father's study. He stood before the large oak doors, carved with many decorations. He hadn't been in this room since the day his father had died, but now it seemed that in here he might find answers to at least one question…
