"I have killed Mariemeia...I won't kill anyone anymore...I don't have to..." Heero lowered his arm, his gun dropped to the floor, and he collapsed.
"Heero! Heero!" Queen Relena cried out as she ran to him and caught him before he hit the floor. She cradled the unconscious boy. Heero moaned, his eyes closed. Relena adopted a look of gratitude as Mariemeia was carried off to be helped.
"Good bye, Deathscythe, this time for good!" Duo said to his gundam. Trowa and Quatre wordlessly said their goodbyes before destroying their gundams. Somewhere else, Wufei did likewise. As he destroyed Shenlong Gundam, he said, "Good bye, Nataku. May you forever rest in peace."
A now able Heero stood near the stage, where Queen Relena was speaking to the audience. He took a long look at her, a bit saddened. He and Wing Zero were no longer needed for war, as peace had returned to the colonies. He disappeared from his spot behind the curtains took his pack, and walked away, and headed for Wing Zero.
Queen Relena stood up from her chair on the stage, her speech over. She was going to leave to retire for the night, until she asked, "Heero...where's Heero?"
Someone's reply was, "He left."
"To where?" Relena wasn't surprised that he probably would.
"He did not say."
Heero flew out in space with Wing Zero, to finish what he had to do to his gundam. Neither he or the gundam were needed in war anymore. He set out to get far away from the colonies and self-destruct Gundam with him inside.
Suddenly, colonial communications opened up, and the face of Queen Relena popped up on the little screen. "Heero, where are you going?"
Heero looked at her slowly. He did not say anything for a while. Finally, he said, "I'm self-destructing Gundam."
"But where?"
"In space."
Relena was shocked. "But Heero, you'll die just self-destructing in space!"
"My life doesn't matter anymore. It was cheap."
Relena was speechless. Desperate to keep Heero alive, she responded in anguish, "But what if there is another war? Where will you be? Who will help us?"
Heero replied calmly, "There will not be anymore wars. My missions are completed. If there was another war, you have Duo, Trowa, Quatre and Wufei. I don't want to have to kill that little girl and her dog anymore."
"You won't have to do it again. You can live with us and rest."
"Live with you for no purpose? Relena, I was not born. I was created to destroy to stop OZ and Treize, nothing more. Understand that I have nothing to live for anymore."
Tears began rolling down Relena's cheek. "I wish I could go with you, Heero, but the world depends on me. If you must die, I...I...I understand. But before you do, I have something to say."
Heero's eyes softened a little at the woman. He said, "You may say it now, or we will never see each other again."
"Heero, I...I-I love you..."
Heero would cry, if he wasn't his indifferent self. No matter what emotions, he couldn't cry. He said softly, "Relena." She looked at him with teary eyes. "I love you too." Relena's eyes widened. Heero noticed that he was far away enough from the colonies to self-destruct. His eyes looked at Relena one more time, before he said, "I will always love you. And it's time for me to die. Goodbye, Queen Relena." He shut off the link between them.
Relena cried out, "Heero!" But it was too late. She was looking at a blank screen, and she knew immediately that Heero had died with his Gundam. His life didn't matter to him, and no one would be able to take his Gundam. Relena walked to the window of her living quarters and looked out. A flash of light, like a shooting star, shone in the sky for a few seconds, then went out, a confirmation of the self-destruction. Another tear rolled down her cheek, as she whispered hopelessly, "Please come back, Heero."
But that wish may never come true.
Yep. This is just a dark moment of mine. Reviews, anyone?
