Chapter Eight-
Oh- that was so cute- I like Heero and Relena- They make such a good couple- a mixed up and weird couple granted, but they're cute :)
Some people don't like Relena- I can kind of see why- she is a bit dumb through the series, but they're like sixteen! Come on- give the poor kid a break. She does smarten up- and hey- she's after Heero- she can't be all bad. At least she has good taste!
Anyway- back to the story!
Yeppers all you gundam fans- I don't own gundam wing.

The next few hours Heero found himself in the deepest, most comfortable sleep he ever had.
In his arms, he held his one reason for existence- Relena.
The small cot didn't leave much room for two people, so they snuggled close all night long. Somehow, Heero had found the will power to control himself and all they did was sleep during that night. But he had to admit he was very tempted.
The cocoon of warmth created by their bodies and a blanket was suddenly broken. A cold chill hit Heero's bare back.
"So that's why you didn't make it to guard duty." Duo chuckled.
Heero tried to ignore the cold by pulling Relena tighter and nuzzling his face into her neck. Without getting up- one arm grabbed for the blanket, Duo had pulled off.
"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!" A fuming Zechs screamed seeing a bare chested Heero, in his boxers with Relena who was clad in her undergarments and Heero's trademark green top.
Heero grumbled something as he got up. Relena was awake now as well after her brother's loud question.
As for the others, Duo was giggling, Quatre was blushing, Wufei mumbling something about dishonor and Trowa remaining his silent self.
But the awkward moment ended quickly when an explosion rocked the building, Heero jumped to his feet and took off down the hall.
The others followed, even Relena, after she pulled on her pants.
Heero was shouting orders for men to get to the gunners stations as he took off towards the shed where his suit was.
"Heero!" Relena cried before he was out the doors. He quickly turned around only to have her throw herself into his arms. "Come back to me." She whispered in his ear.
"Always, my love." He kissed her and ran out.
He quickly strapped himself in the cavity of the suit. Duo and Zechs followed and where in their suits soon. As they all powered up the attacks continued.
"So Heero…" Duo's voice came over the com system, "You and Relena getting a little friendly… when's the wedding?"
"…"
"What was that?" Duo laughed. "Oh so you're a kiss and don't tell kind of guy."
Heero's suit connected with him and he took off before Zechs could kill him.
Before he was fully in the sky a swarm of oz suits rushed him.
"Heero- buddy. What's going on? Can you hear me?" His friend asked from the ground. There was no answer.
"Heero- bring them down here- you can't take them all on." Quatre yelled from the control room inside the compound.
Quatre, Wufei and Trowa sat at some large guns, but couldn't fire anything because of the intense fighting around Heero.
Heero struggled to get his suit free from the mess that attacked him.
"Give up boy!" A voice came from an oz suit. "Make it easier on yourself and your allies- surrender and no one will get hurt." the ultimatum was given.
Heero couldn't give up now- he was so close to being free. So close and yet so far…
But when the oz suits began to attack the compound, he knew he had to take the only option he had left.
Somehow, he managed to break free and regain the full attention of the enemy suits. He flew high in the air, with the oz gundams swarming on his tail.
"Heero… what? What are you doing? Come back." Duo shouted as Zechs and he stood on the ground. They were unable to help him.
"What is he doing? Is he crazy?" Zechs asked as he figured out what Heero was about to do.
"Duo- do me a favor will you?" Heero's voice said over the com. The connection was fading out due to the damage on Heero's suit. "Tell Relena… tell her that… I'm sorry… but I need to stop them from ever doing this to another child… and that… I love her."
Inside the compound, Dr J and Relena listened to the conversation over the speakers.
"What is he going to do?" Relena asked in a shaky voice. "No… you don't think he'd…. no he can't!" She began to cry as she ran out of the room and outside the compound. "NO Heero! Come back… please don't die…" She cried as she looked up into the sky and saw a huge fireball explode. She shielded her eyes from the intense light.
Zechs saw Relena outside and went to shield her from the debris that fell down from the sky. It was all the destroyed suits.
When the light faded there were no suits left in the air- just smoldering pieced on the ground.
"Heero!" Duo yelled as he made his way through the debris- searching for friend.
Everyone was scouring the large area- but there was no sign of life amongst the wreckage.
"NO!" Relena cried. Zechs tired to comfort her the best he could. But she was hysterical. "He can't be dead! Not now!" She said as she beat on her brother's chest- only to erupt in tears once again.
"Over here! I found his suit." Trowa yelled. Everyone rushed over there in a heartbeat.
"The cockpit is open." Wufei observed.
"So he cold have ejected before the explosion." Zechs said as he hugged Relena tighter.
"But where is he?" She asked with hope in her eyes.
"Relena why don't you go back inside the control room." Dr J said. "We'll start a search party. But incase he contacts us- you'll be the first to know."
"But…" Relena started, but then she agreed with them.
"Why don't I help her back inside Relena." Zechs suggested as he took her away.
"Doc why did you want Relena to go inside?" Quatre asked as he walked over to the doctor.
The doctor simply pointed to something amongst the debris. Quatre gasped and the others came over quickly.
"is…is that… Heero?" Quatre asked looking at the figure before them.
"I believe so…" The doctor said. "His suit was open and it's the only body…"
The group was silent as they stared at the burnt corpse. The skin was charred black and unrecognizable.
"That can't be him!" Duo said as he took off his jacket and covered the figure.
"Duo…" Trowa began.
"No- he's been though worse! I've seen him jump through windows and be ok. He survived a worse explosion." Duo tried to reason.
"Duo's right." Quatre said.
"He died an honorable death. There is no reason for regrets to dishonor his memory." Wufei said in a saddened tone.
"Who's memory?" Zechs questioned as he came back up to the guys. He took a look at the covered figure and then to the faces of the pilots. He realized what was going on…..
