Chapter Sixteen: And a Light Is at the End of the Tunnel
"HAHAHAHAHA!!! You fools! Thought you could get away from me eh? NO! You will not land alive! I will win!" Macentire laughed hysterically as he closed in on the presidents. "When I kill you, I can say that it was the earth's delaingings, setting this peaceful dismal in to chaos, after all, nature has always favored chaos, so why don't we just stay in the natural order? Peace! Such an empty word! You all will see!"
*****~*****
"SHIT!" Duo screamed over the roar of the blades. "GET GOING! HE'S GAINING FAST!"
"I FOLLOW YOU!" Heila nodded and pushed the craft to its limits. The boys sat watching the other helicopter follow and match their speeds. After a while the helicopter took a hit. The five males blinked and about panicked.
"What was that?" Quatre was near on tears, "why doesn't he just leave us alone!"
"HEERO!" Heila called.
"Yes?"
"Take the helm, I'll get him!" she glared as Heero took the reigns. From the opening of the side of the chopper she loaded the large gun and turned to fire it. Exchange in fire and a few words pass between the two crafts before the unthinkable happens. Yet another helicopter joins in. It was the military.
"What?! What's the military doing?" Trowa asked, Quatre had found his place on Trowa arm, Trowa didn't bother trying to shake him off.
"God we're doomed! Is shooting at them a good idea?" Heila asked while firing at Macentire.
"Probably not..." Duo replied.
Just when they though thing couldn't get any worse, the military opened fire, although Heero kept them a good bit in front of them and was doing a nice job of missing some of the bullet fire.
*****~*****
"Launching missiles......" Macentire laughed.
*****~*****
A sudden jolt in their flight caused Heila to fall over the edge, her shrill cry of surprise caused everyone to gasp in shock. Wufei was over the side grasping at his girlfriend's hand franticly. Duo grabbed hold of Wufei's ankles to keep at least him alive.
"Damn! We've got to get them to stop..." Quatre said shakily.
"I know..." he looked around and spotted 4 parachutes, a plan to form in his head.
"GAH!!" Wufei hissed.
"AH! Wufei! Your arm!" Heila gasped. Wufei could only nodded, blood dripped down his arm, his white shirt becoming stained red. Heila watched in horror as his griped lessened.
"Heila, you're going to have to hold on to this arm alone. It's gone numb and I can't feel anything!" Wufei called. She nodded and held on to his wrist. Duo waved Trowa over, "What's wrong?"
"Wufei's been hit...." He said softly. Duo frowned.
"I'll be right back." Trowa walked to the cockpit and talked to Heero. "Heero, we've got to get rid of this thing, Wufei's injured, Heila's hanging over board, as I can see, we're near out of ammo, AND we're sitting ducks..."
"I know."
"We've got 4 parachutes."
"One for Wufei and Heila, Duo, Quatre..... Leaving one...."
"We could share it... go down together..." Trowa suggested.
"Yes, that's true...." Heero nodded.
"Keep flying an make a circle and head it strait for Macentire, before we ram into him we'll jump. You and me, until then, I'll keep them busy." Trowa crossed his arms.
"Fine we'll do that, Help Chang and then get Quatre and Duo off, I'll continue to make the circle."
"Okay." Trowa left the cockpit and threw a parachute at Quatre, "Put it on, your going to jump."
"Huh? But-but Trowa..."
"Do it Quatre." Trowa snapped. Quatre blinked and nodded. Trowa and Duo helped Chang get his on, then Duo.
"Here's the plan, you all are going to jump, Me and Heero will be down after we kill Macentire." The helicopter took another hit, Trowa gently heaved Wufei over, and the two fell over. The parachute was dispatched soon enough. Duo waved and jumped over. Quatre gulped and looked Trowa in the eyes. "Why don't you come with me?" he asked.
"Quatre, shh, don't be scared, I'll be alright, just get out of here. Okay?" Trowa embraced the boy. Quatre hugged Trowa back, "Be brave."
"Alright." Quatre pushed away. They looked at each other before Quatre pulled Trowa into a simple kiss, then he jumped. Trowa stood stunned, his mind was unable to function, but he snapped back to reality when the helicopter took another direct hit. He grabbed the gun and fired on Macentire.
*****~*****
The ones on the ground watched the fight in the air, each scared for their two friends lives, Trowa and Heero, what were they thinking.
*****~*****
Trowa lost site of Macentire completely as he kept the military at bay.
"TROWA!!!" Heero ran from the cockpit the parachute half way around his shoulders.
"What??"
Heero didn't get to complete the sentence before the two helicopters, collided, Macentire disentagrading completely. Heero and Trowa were knocked out upon compact. Their bodies becoming singed and burned.
*****~*****
"TROWA!"
"HEERO!" Both Quatre and Duo watched in horror as the helicopter went up in flames; the military helicopter seemed to hover in the air in shock as well.
"God..." Wufei muttered and held his bloodied arm.
Quatre and Duo could only stare up in shock, their tears falling silently over their cheeks.
"I'm so sorry...." Heila whispered. "It's all my fault!!" she to burst in to tears.
*Splash*
The four on the ground looked over to the lake they we're by and blinked. (1) In the lake floated two bodies, blood seeped into the crystal clear waters. Quatre and Duo both ran over dragging the bodies out.
"Oh my, Trowa...." Quatre rocked the body in his arm, blood running over his arms. In the distance the military helicopter landed.
"I'll go get them...," Wufei said as he stood up.
"Be careful!" Heila called. He nodded and trudged off. Heila scooted over to Duo, and the others, trying to be of some help.

^^^^^^^^Month Later^^^^^^^^
Heero awoke finding something warm on his hand. Although he was sore and in relative pain he made him self turn his head to see what was on his hand. He smiled when he saw the sleeping sliote of Duo Maxwell lying by his legs, his hand on top of his own. Heero slowly move his arm and stroked Duo's tangled hair. Duo's big cobalt eyes batted open.
"Hello." Heero smiled a bit.
"Heero?" Duo asked droopily.
"Hai."
"Your awake?"
"Uh-hum..."
"Your awake.... You're awake. YOUR AWAKE!" Duo finally realized what he had just said and what Heero confirmed. Heero laughed as Duo bolted up right and danced around.
"Oh Heero! You scared me!" His big cobalt eyes began to water.
"How long have I been... out?" Heero asked.
"About a month..."
Heero's eyes brows raised a bit. "I see... And Trowa?"
"I'm fine." Trowa waddled in, his left leg in a cast from mid thigh to his foot.
"We're all fine." Wufei and the other walked in.
"You took most of the explosion, you kinda covered me with your body, so I came out better than you." Trowa explained. Heero just nodded.
The following week was probably the most painful week for Heero, But time heals all wounds, and it did just that, the boys resigned from their positions quickly and made a life in a safe house in the middle of nowhere in nowheres ville. Heero and Duo lived happily together there with Trowa and Quatre, Wufei and Heila got their own palce, but never forgot their friends. Peace returned to their lives, even if earth and the colonies were at it again. They had the other, and peace was in their hearts.
