Ch.34

A week has passed since the battle out in space. A ceremony was being held at New York City in honor of the gundam pilots and their courageous effort in stopping KANZ and their hostile takeover. Kara was there to reward the gundam pilots with their medals.

Kara-"In honor of the gundam pilots for their heroic efforts, they shall be rewarded with these medals to prove their bravery throughout the entire solar system."

Kara then walked up toward each pilot giving them their medal. She then went back up to make another speech.

Kara-"And now.for the final reward for Leo Yugo who sacrificed his life to save us all. He will be remembered as a true hero."

Everyone watching the ceremony cheered in honor of the gundam pilots. Afterward, the pilots were escorted along with Kara in a limousine toward the airport. Kara sat there looking down without saying a word.

Michelle-"Poor Kara. I can't help but feeling so sorry for her. I know what its like though, losing the person you love is hard."

Chan-"So Chris, what do you plan to do now that the war is over?"

Chris-"For starters, I'm gonna go back home to my colony."

Jason-"I'm guessing now that total peace has been achieved, you'll have no use for Heavyarms."

Chris-"I doubt that. They're no such things as total peace. Life is life and we'll always eventually have wars. So I'll just keep Heavyarms until the time is right."

Blake-"I'm gonna back home to and join up with my gang again. This time we're working as the law around at Mercury."

Chan-"I'm returning home as well. I'll stay there with Nataku protecting it from anything."

Chris-"So Michelle, what are you and Jason gonna do, huh?"

Jason-"We're planning to go back to the moon and start a little business as cargo shippers. Not much but it'll help us go by life."

The pilots had soon finally arrived at the airport. There they met with Duo, Quatre, Trowa and another old man; it was the old man Leo met up with in the forest cottage.

Mr.Yuy-"Hello, my name is Heero Yuy. Congratulations on a job well done. I am sorry though for the loss of your friend."

Trowa-"Indeed. I have never seen such courage in a person."

Quatre-"Yes but your friend saved us all."

Duo-"If it wasn't for him, we'd be dead by now."

Chris-"Well thanks for the compliments."

Chris then looked around in confusion.

Chris-"Hey, has anyone seen Cloud. I could've sworn he was at the ceremony."

Jason-"He probably wet off one his own."

During the time, at the tip of Empire State Building was Cloud looking out into the distance.

Cloud-".A warrior doesn't die that easily. I can still feel you presence Leo. Someday we'll meet again and finish our little match."

Back at the airport, the other pilots went on their way home on different shuttles. Kara on the other hand, stayed to watch the other pilots off. She then walked back to her limo.

Kara-"Why am I so sad? I should be happy because the world is safe but still.I miss him."

Limo Driver-"Thinking about someone miss?"

Kara-"Yes.someone very special to me."

Limo Driver-".I don't think that person would want you to be so depressed. Life is too important to be depressed about."

Kara-".It's just that now he's gone."

The Limo driver stooped at the hotel as a caretaker helped Kara out. She went up to her room only to find a small teddy bear with a note on it. The note read "Life is too important to be depressed about. Remember, I'll always be by your side as you shall always be by mine."

A tear then went down Kara's face and looked outside the window seeing that the limo was still there. She rushed downstairs to catch the limo. She then opened the driver's door but it was a different driver. Across the street was a man in a black trench coat with a brown hat and sunglasses. He walked away, but as a gust of wind blew, a shine came from inside his coat. The shine came from the sharp end of a blade.

???-"So long Kara."
