( Zero )
( III )
Why did it constantly torment him? For over a year he had been haunted by dreams of the system. Of his past.
Of her.
Death, pain, destruction. They were forgotten memories. They never mattered in the first place.
She was destroying him. She was pain.
She was death, he was dying.
Kill her.
Kill her.
He had tried. Standing there on the balcony, looking down at her. Speaking to diplomats. His hand shook as he aimed the gun at her heart. Then she had looked at him with golden eyes and the gun fell silently to the floor.
Kill her.
I... I can't...
You will kill her, pilot.
The others were fighting. He could see them through Zero.
Deathscythe turned its back for a moment. Duo's scream was like a rent in the still void of space.
He is dead.
Duo...
Watch.
And it forced him to.
Sandrock turned to help and was rendered defenseless. Ripped to shreds before Quatre had a chance to see what was coming.
Two are dead. They will all die.
"I'm out of ammunition," Trowa said. The hailstorm of missiles that landed on Heavyarms would have been too much for a full force of Mobile Suits to handle.
Death, destruction...
Wufei, Lucrezia, Milliardo-
They are all dead.
... dead...
He saw her.
He pointed a gun at her again.
Kill her.
He pulled the trigger.
She is dead.
And screamed.
She was screaming, calling out for him. He, too, was calling her name.
Heaven and hell at once.
"I love you!" she cried. For once, her eyes did not contain that hellish light. He collapsed next to her, gasping for breath.
"Relena... I thought... Zero said..."
"Heero..."
"Zero said you didn't love me... that you were dead..."
I am dead, Relena said.
He did not open his eyes, yet he knew that hers were full of golden light.
Zero crashed to the ground.
I control... you.... I created it all...
No... He pulled himself out of the cockpit and struggled inside the building.
You can't control me... You can't win.
He pointed the gun at her.
You're lost. She doesn't love you. I created that.
He pulled the trigger. Mariemaia was dead.
Relena is dead. You killed her.
No. Zero is dead.
You can't... control me...
And collapsed into her arms.
