(Chapter 1: Zechs)
--- Once I had my heroes
Once I had my dreams
But all of that is changed now
The truth begins again
The truth is not that comfortable, no
Mother taught us patience
The virtues of restraint
Father taught us boundaries
The knowledge we must go
I'm trying to protect my unity
That's when I reach for my revolver
That's when it all gets blown away
That's when I reach for my revolver
The spirit passes by this way
A friend of mine once told me
His one and only aim
To build a giant castle
And in it sign his name
Sign it with complete community
That's when I reach for my revolver
That's when it all gets blown away
That's when I reach for my revolver
The spirit passes by this way
Now that the sky is empty
And that is nothing new
Instead they look upon us
When they tell me
That we're nothing
I say!
That's when I reach for my revolver
That's when it all gets blown away
That's when I reach for my revolver
The spirit passes by this way
That's when I reach for my revolver
That's when it all gets blown away
That's when I reach for my revolver
The spirit passes by this way ---
Moby - Revolver
Zechs, Zechs, Zechs. What else can I say about him. His past is widely known to all. Heir to the throne of the Sanc Kingdom, former member of OZ, former leader of White Fang, active member of the Preventers. Beloved brother and boyfriend, he's a friend to some, enemy to others. Zechs is most likely a very troubled man deep within. He doesn't know what he TRULY wants.
When he was still a very young boy, his Kingdom was attacked. Everyone believed that there were no surviors other than Relena and Milliardo. His little sister knew nothing of him or their heritage. It must have hurt him to know that he would be seen as foul in her eyes.
Pacifism was what he grew up with, but revenge took over his life. Soon he fell into darkness but got revenge. He then learned revenge wasn't enough, he had grown accustomed to fighting and killing. There was no way he could go back and claim his throne. He had to live in exile.
Over time, a new group found him after leaving OZ. They called themselves 'White Fang' and appointed Zechs their leader. Really, he couldn't help himself. He had grown up fighting and loved the thrill of it. He accepted with no problems or second thoughts.
That is until the final battle, that battle decided it all. He suddenly realized all his mistakes and tried to make it up to everyone. He almost killed himself, in fact we all thought he did. He couldn't show his face in public, he was ashamed of himself.
Then Marimeia showed up. That infuriated him because he knew Treize better than anyone. She claimed that she was doing what her father had wanted but she was just brainwashed into believing so. Treize was a good man and hated death. I still don't understand him. He hated war, yet created the Gundam Epyon for Zechs. Sure he gave it to Heero, but it was intended for Zechs with no doubt.
Zechs was a great man, I don't believe they could have defeated Marimeia without him and the universe would be in great peril if he never had existed. Zechs is a great man inside, he is just used and hurt and confused. I think that Noin is a great friend to him on Mars. She keeps his feet on the ground, but no matter what, he'll always love Treize more. Always.
I sit up and prop my back up against a few pillows. I sigh. One down, five more to go still. I can't think of who to write about next. I know who I am going to write about last though, that'll wait.
I take a sip out of my Dr. Pepper can and play with my hair. I take in a deep breath and try to concentrate. I note to myself that it is 3 am and I should try to sleep. That won't happen though, too much to write about still.
I flip through radio stations and stop at an interesting one. The song they are playing reminds me of a certain pilot. I now know who to write about next. I bring my knees up and use them as a table for writing on. My hand writes the words smoothly and softly. I fall into a deep trance, like always when I am writing.
Pluto: So there's that chapter. I swear the next ones will be much better. It's just complicated. The writer isn't really interested in Zechs that much so he has no need to write too deeply into him.
Neptune: ...
Charon: No clues on the writer either! Have you figured it out yet? *laughs*
Pluto: *sigh* I'm so evil... Until next time my loyal readers! *chuckles*
