Lies from the Past
AN-Sorry for the delay!!! It was mainly because I started writing this a while ago then i looked back on this and said to myself. "What the hell was I thinking of doing?" I figured it out! or...i just made it fit. But here's the next chapter to Lies from the past. I want to thank all of my readers of the first chapter and those of you who reviewed (although I honestly think that the first chapter sucked). This chapter will be interesting. I really want to know what you guys think. Like any story, the Disclaimer. I don't really feel like putting since you all already know that I don't own it. And I'd like to say that the other characters that you'll see more of in this chapter and the next, are mine, and will stay mine. If you want to use any of them in any of your fics, just tell me and I'll gladly let you use them. So without any further delay, here is my next chapter of Lies from the Past- Sorrow
Chapter 2---Changes
AC. 200
"Agh...I need a drink.." said Milliardo Peacecraft as he walked to the bar that was in his home. "No more...Hun..." said Lu as she walked towards her husband. "After everything I go through...I deserve a drink once in a while..." he said as he sat down on a stool.
"Another bombing??" asked Lu as she put her arms around her husband.
"Yah...this time it was the World Peace Negotiation Center....it looks like whomever is doing this...wants a war. And the thing that's bothering me the most....Is that we don't even know who the damn person is!!!!" said Milliardo as he slammed his fists on the table.
"Calm down sweets...I know we will find the person who is doing this....I can just feel it." said Lu as she kissed his cheek. She then stood up straight and walked to the door. She turned around real quick and said "You know... maybe you should get the gundam pilots on this. I think its about time for a reunion." Lu then grabbed the handle of the door and walked out leaving her husband to his thoughts
"That's not a bad idea...." said Milliardo as he rubbed his chin where a slight beard was growing. His hair was now shoulder length and tied in a low pony tail. He reached for a button that was on his desk and pressed down on the cool metal object.
"Yes Mr. Milliardo?" asked the person on the other line.
"Susie...get me the gundam pilots. Tell them that we have a problem that could lead to the beginning of a new war."
"Right away Mr. Milliardo." said the woman. The blonde man just smirked to himself.
"Its been three years...Three god damned years since those boys showed their faces to any member of the Peacecraft family. And its been three years since Relena died." his smirk died down at the mention of his sister. the older man sighed and grabbed his head again.
"I really want a drink"
Flashback:
"Relena...I'm so sorry...I wish I was there to save you...but...I...I was to late." said the man looking down at the words on the gloomy grave stone. "Rest in peace our beloved dove of peace. For you have served the world in great wonder and awe. Fighting for your beliefs, and helping to make the world a better place" The umbrella over the man's head slowly fell down to his side. He just then noticed the old rose that sat on top of the grave. It was aged and wilted by the harshness of time. The rain then poured all over his fatigued body. His long blonde hair dulled. Slowly, soft tears fell down his already moist cheek. The usually hard strong eyes now glassy and dull. The man fell to his knees. He covered his face with his soaked gloves. "We tried to find you...all of us did. I think we all knew that you were already dead...but...we couldn't help but to keep hope...like how you gave hope to the world. We all tried so hard!!! Two years! Two heart wrenching years!! We couldn't play the game of believing anymore. Well... at least you'd be happy to know that your night and shining armor was looking also...he was the last one to let go of the fact that you might be alive...." he paused... he looked straight at the grave and his tears subsided. "I guess that's why I'm here Relena...I'm here to let you go...and say goodbye.". The man stood up and walked out of the grave yard, forgetting to bring his umbrella. He walked home to his quiet palace drenched. As he walked away from the grave yard, he would think and say to myself. "I am never to return there...this was the last time"
End flashback:
"A fucking year ago!! She would have been 20 in a few weeks...6 to be exact. August 18th...ugh...I really need that drink right about now"

BRING!!!
"Damn it!" yelled a groggy brown haired man about 20 years in age. He untangled himself between the dark green sheets that surrounded him. When finally free, he slammed down on the alarm clock, breaking it into little pieces.
"Ugh...another stupid day..." he said as he rubbed his head sat on the edge of the bed. He slowly got up and lazily walked to the bathroom. He opened the white door and walked into the white tiled room. He turned and looked at himself in the mirror. His thick hair a tangled mess and cold blue eyes glairing back at him through the reflection. He couldn't keep his cool gaze before he broke out into a smile. Soon after Relena died, his emotions crumbled around him like a breaking sheet of glass. He wouldn't look back on that day in sadness, but he looked back on it in happiness. He had to, that's what Relena would want. He was thankful to god that he had those moments with her. If not, he would have been stuck in that ice cage forever. Looking at the watch on his wrist, he quickly took off his white undershirt and dark blue boxers and stepped into the shower. The hot water washed away any signs of his sleepiness and woke him up for the new day. Once out, he changed into another white tank undershirt, with an opened button up crimson red shirt over it, and a pair of baggy black Jeans. He walked into his living room and stuck on his boots before grabbing his keys and sunglasses and heading out the door. He took the elevator to the bottom and walked out of the apartment building. He walked outside and stuck his sunglasses to protect his eyes from the glairing sun. He then walked to his new black Convertible year AC 199. The brown haired man drove to "Maxwell's Auto and Body Repair Shop." He's been working there for 3 years now. Once Relena retired, he decided it was time to get a job and support himself, since his job in the preventors wasn't needed any more. The job was pretty good considering he was a mechanic. He always worked good with his hands. Since the demand for Mobil suits went up in the war, more and more kept coming. The highest buyers were the preventors. They would go through space looking for any sign of trouble that might come up. After a few minutes, he finally reached his location and parked in the back. He opened his car door and stood up while taking his sunglasses off. He put the glasses in his pocket and walked to the man with the long braid working on an old OZ suit.
"Hey Duo...why are you working on that?" he asked as he walked up to the young man. Though his emotions were more under his control now, he always kept his husky, threatening tone of voice.
"Ah...you never know when a war might start. And its always good to sharpen your skills on Mobil Dolls once in a while." said Duo as he turned to him.
"Well...I don't get paid here for standing around doing nothing, so I guess I'll help you." said Heero as he walked over to the huge machine outside in the back. 'He really changed...it doesn't take a rocket scientist to tell you that much.' thought Duo to himself. He remembered the day when Heero's first emotion escaped him.
Flash Back
"Come on buddy...you cant keep on doing this any more...you'll eventually kill yourself trying to find someone who probably isn't even alive anymore" said Duo as he tried to convince Heero to stay where he was and not go out again and look for her.
"I've got to Duo...I know she's still alive" he said in a low voice. He glared at Duo, his eyes threatened Duo. Saying that if he didn't move, he'd make him move and that he would really regret that. When Duo still refused to move, Heero took his fist and collided it with Duo's jaw. He fell backwards. Sure he was in pain but he wouldn't let his friend know that.
"*sigh*...alright...but you have to come to your senses...Relena's dead...you cant keep denying that, I couldn't keep denying that and her own brother couldn't deny that." he said as he got up off of the ground.
"I still have to go...I feel that I left something very important unsaid..." he said as he looked at the ground and knotted his eyebrows in confusion.
"What is there to say...She moved on...you moved on...it was all fine..." he said as he put his hand on his friend's shoulder.
"Hm...perhaps your right...Maybe all I need to do is just say goodbye. I didn't even go to her funeral..." said Heero as he looked at his friend.
"I think that's it....and I'll go with you if you want..." said Duo
"*sigh*....ok Duo...you do that."
*~FLASH*~ *(AN- that means a different scene)
"Do you want to go first or should I?" asked Duo standing next to Heero just looking up to the grave yard.
"You...I'll go after." said Heero staring straight at the gravestone on top of the hill.
"fine..." said Duo as he walked up the hill. Heero could still see him in the distance. He sighed. Then looked up to the sky. 'It looks like a storm is coming' he thought to himself. He then looked back at Duo who was talking to the grave stone. 'odd..' Heero thought. Duo then turned around and walked back to the car. Heero kept watching him. Duo walked up in front of him and put his hand on his shoulder.
"Its time buddy..." said Duo. His violet eyes held sadness. You could tell he was about to cry. His face held sorrow. Something that's very foreign to his usually happy face. The wind picked up. Heero nodded and walked up the hill to say goodbye to a friend. Once at the top of the hill, he looked at the grave stone. He said nothing and did nothing for a few minutes. He seemed to be lost in his own little world. He almost looked dead. Heero then showed a sign of life, he reached into his trench coat and took out a single red rose. He placed it on top of the grave stone. Heero then kissed his hand and laid it on top of the flower, not caring if the thorns on this beautiful flower penetrated his skin and maid him bleed. Suddenly, the sky lit up and a low rumble was heard throughout the city. Keeping his hand on the grave, he turned his head to the side, and slow silent tears fell down his face. He opened his eyes partly and felt a few drops of rain fall on his head and shoulders. "The sky is crying...even the sky cries for you Relena. You always could perform miracles. Damn it Relena!!" he said angrily as he clenched his left fist at his side and tightened his grip over the rose that laid on top of the grave stone. His eyes shone with anger and sadness. He then continued "Do you know what your death has done to people? Do you know what it has done to me?..." he then sighed and lifted his hand off the grave. You never know what you've got until its gone. He noticed a feeling in his chest. It wasn't just sadness and anger, but it was also fear. 'What will I do without her?' he asked himself as he walked back to the car. 'I miss her...' he thought 'goodbye...sweet dove.' he looked back at the grave on top of the hill and walked into the car.
End Flashback
'It feels just like yesterday...' thought Duo with a sad smirk.
"What's wrong?" asked Heero when he noticed Duo had stopped working and looked as if he was in some distant planet.
"Oh...nothing...I was just thinking.." he said
"About what?"
"Nothing...its not important." he said as he started working. Just then, a girl with short hair walked outside wiping her hands.
"Need anything you two?" she asked
"No thanks babe..." said Duo as he smiled at his girlfriend
"Are you sure?"
"Well...a kiss would be good..." he said with a sly smile. She smiled back and slowly walked over to Duo and gave him a short kiss on the lips.
"Aww...what was that? Not what I'd call a kiss..." he said back to her
"Well... I can give you more later..." she said slyly with an evil glint in her eyes. She then continued. "But really, do you guys want anything? Like a lemonade or something?"
"Yah thanks Hildie Baby, that would be great." said Duo. She smiled
"How about You Heero? Would you like a lemonade?"
"Sure...thanks Hildie." he said as he kept working. She then walked back to the house.
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
"lalla....lalla...." sang Hildie to herself as she started getting some glasses out of the kitchen. Suddenly, the vid. phone rang. She reached to it and hit a button on the wall.
"Hello...Maxwell's Auto and body Repair Shop, this is Hildie speaking how may I help you?" she asked still working on the lemonades.
"Yes Ms. Hildie...this is Mrs. Susie Brockringer speaking from Mr. Peacecraft's desk." said the voice on the other line.
"Oh well...what is it?" she asked suddenly looking up to the vid phone. 'This must be urgent if its from Zechs.' she thought
"Well...is a Mr. Duo Maxwell there?"
"He's busy right now....how may I help you?"
"Were you with Mr. Duo during the war maim?" Susie asked
"Yes...what is it?"
"Maim...I need you to send this message to him right away. And if you come in contact with a Mr. Yuy, tell him what I'm telling you also. We weren't having any luck contacting him." she said
"Ok...what is this urgent message?" asked Hildie
"Just one second Ms." said Susie as she pushed a button on the screen. Suddenly, Milliardo Peacecraft's face was showing. 'I should record this in case I miss something important." said Hildie as she pushed the record button and listened to the message. Her eyes went wide and she screamed for her boyfriend.
"DUO!!!!!!!! DUO!!!!!" she yelled.
_*_*_*_*_*_
"Duo! Duo!" he heard in the background.
"Oh my god its Hildie!" he yelled to Heero as he ran towards the house. Heero followed him in.
Once in, Hildie ran towards her husband and grabbed his shirt, pushing her face into it. She wasn't crying, but she was just holding on to him, like she'll never be able to hold him again.
"What's wrong babe?" he asked the girl in his arms as he put his arms around her.
"The vid phone...I recorded it....look..." she said into his shirt. Duo nodded to Heero and he went over to the phone and pushed play. Milliardo popped up.
"To all of the Gundam Pilots who served in the AC 195 war. We have been recently been having a series of bombings all over the globe aimed at high political areas where the world's leaders were located. We dismissed them as coincidental as to not to panic the public. I'm sure you all have heard of this already. The problem is, they are not coincidences. Recently the World Peace Negotiation Center was hit. We have no leads on who has done this. These people are good. Real good. They clean themselves up pretty good as to not leave any clues. I and the other political leaders of the colonies and Earth, fear a new war is rising. If so, this war will be the most brutal one any one has ever witnessed. I'm sorry to say, that some of you may not come out alive. Within 24 hours of receiving this, I would like for you to come to the preventor building in Sank. Your mission, is to find the person or persons who are doing this, and put a stop to them before a war breaks out. May god be with us all..." the screen then went blank. Duo still held Hildie in his arms and Heero just glared at the screen.
"So...we've got a war to prevent..." said Duo with a sigh.
