She's out of my life She's out of my life And I don't know whether to laugh or cry I don't know whether to live or die And it cuts like a knife She's out of my life It's out of my hands It's out of my hands To think for two years, she was here And I took her for granted I was so cavalier And the way that it stands She's out of my hands So I've learned that love's not possession And I learned that love won't wait Now I've learned that love needs expression But I've learned too late And… She's out of my life She's out of my life Damned in decision, and cursed pride Kept my love for her locked deep inside And it cuts like a knife She's out of my life
Chapter Eight:
I can't do this. Heero thought, concentrating hard on piloting Epypon. He'd known not getting rid of it would haunt him and it was.
Do you love her Heero? It's voice whispered into his mind. Or do you love war? Do you love to fight? Yes you do *know*...you've *always* known
"Stop it!" Heero hissed out, silently hoping the guards hadn't noticed the two suits coming out the back way.
Because deep down you know you'll never get her back...fighting's all you have left, it's all you ever had, Heero! She's out of your life It whispered the last line over and over in his mind. He could feel its hold, gripping his senses, capturing him into it's insanity.
"Stop it!" He screamed, jerking the controls. Epyon slammed into the ground, dirt and grass flying up around it. Heero sat there in the cockpit, breathing slowly.
I've shown you the future, Heero! She's out of your life! Epyon continued to whisper into his mind, Heero's eyes staring blankly at the empty black screen. Vaguely he wondered where Duo was and why that yellow light was growing brighter.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Duo saw the Epyon crash into the ground ahead of him, one moment flying smoothly, the next slamming into the Earth. "Shit! Heero, you damn fool! If you'd just listen to me once in a while," he cursed, maneuvering the suit onto the ground beside Heero's. If the police hadn't seen them get away a few minutes ago, they sure as Hell would be there in a few minutes.
He undid the safety straps, eager to be out of the Tallgeese. It had brought back sad memories of the Deathscythe like the first time he'd met Hilde he heaved a shuddering sigh, pressing the ejection button. The cockpit's door slid open, well kept. Guess he had some spare time on his hands Duo thought, picking himself up. He was about to climb out into the warm twilight air when shouts and sirens reached his ears. "Shit! Heero!" He called out, hoping the pilot would respond and take off before the police arrived. He waited. There was no response from the Epyon. "Heero!" he started at the prone suit for a few seconds before climbing back into the Tallgeese. He secured himself into the seat, then activated the suit. With one last glance at the Epyon, he took off, hoping that Heero would wake up in time.
"Damn that system," he cursed. He hoped he could get back without detection to warn Zechs. If not, he shook his head to clear his thoughts, then concentrated on piloting the Tallgeese again. Heero could handle himse...he hoped.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Inside the Epyon, Heero was seeing the last few days replaying before his eyes. Epyon didn't miss a shot to tell him all the chances he had to tell her that he cared that he loved her,that he needed her.
She's out of your life, Heero, admit it, it was always like that.
"Stop...Zechs...Epyon..." Heero moaned, his head thrashing back and forth as he struggled to get out of the cockpit.
He stumbled out, staggering on his feet. Flashing lights and shouts reached his ears as he looked up dazed. There were people rushing at him, shouting incoherent things. The police He thought.
They grabbed him roughly, handcuffing his hands behind his back. He noticed that many of them were gazing up at the Epyon. They won't get anywhere with that demon He thought as he was dragged away towards the vehicles. With one last gaze back at the suit, he heard its voice back inside his head.
She's out of you life...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Duo stared at Zechs' face through the comlink on Tallgeese.
"This is all your fault!" He hissed. Zechs stared back him, his eyes weary.
"Duo, there must be something we can do," Zechs tried.
"I thought you got rid of that thing!" Duo shouted. "Do realize what's going to happen to Heero?! They're going to execute him! Try explaining *that* to Relena!" He yelled, his anger resonating in his voice.
"Duo, I can fix this. Just calm down," Zechs' mind was racing. This wasn't supposed to happen, none of this.
"Stay calm. Stay calm, huh?" Duo shot one last glare at Zechs before the comlink was broken.
Zechs stared at the empty screen, trying to figure out what to do next. He sighed, dialing another number that he had set up for emergencies. The minutes passed by like hours as he waited for the message to be received. Suddenly the screen lit up with life.
"Hello there Zechs! How's things going?" Lindsay's cheerful face grinned, the dropped into a frown at the haggard look on Zechs' face. "Not too good I take it," she trailed off.
"I'll keep this short so this call isn't intercepted by the authorities," Zechs began. "Keep Relena in the colonies. I know she was supposed to come back this week, but it's of the highest importance she stays there."
Lindsay blinked a few times, then nodded. "Will do. Over and out!" The screen went blank again as Zechs started, depressed.
"What am I going to do?"
~*~*~*~*~*~
Relena listened in the other hotel room as Lindsay answered a call. She had a feeling something odd was going on. And her suspicions had just been confirmed. She grabbed her purse and walked out the door, quietly shutting the door behind her. There had to be a reason Zechs wanted to keep her from Earth and damn if she wasn't going to find out.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Duo started down at his hands in Tallgeese's cockpit, his eye's empty. He felt like the world was resting on his shoulders that enormous weight was back again or had it never left.
He sighed, looking back up wearily. What was he supposed to do now? He frowned, then his head snapped up as his eyes narrowed with determination. He knew *exactly* what he was going to do.
I'm going to prevent a war and be with Hilde. And I'll be damned if *anyone* has the nerve to get in my way! His mind screamed. He activated the Tallgeese, it's artificial eye's lighting up with a vengeance.
"Time to end this once and for all," he whispered, the thrusters sending him high up into the night sky.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Lindsay walked out of the room, wondering how and the hell she was supposed to keep Relena in the colonies any longer. She's not stupid! She thought angrily, walking into her room. She stared around, not seeing Relena anywhere.
Blinking slowly, she walked around the hotel rooms, leaning in each one. Relena wasn't in any of the rooms. And her purse was missing.
"Oh damn it!"
