Notes: I realize that this story is very frustrating for those who enjoy it, because I rarely update. I promise to finish this fic, whenever that may be. I'm sorry I'm so slow, but this story takes a lot out of me when I write it.


Wer zu Lebzeit gut auf Erden                         Who in their lifetime is good on Earth
 
wird nach dem Tod ein Engel werden            and will become an Angel after death
den Blick gen Himmel fragst du dann             you look to the sky and ask
warum man sie nicht sehen kann                   why can't you see them

Erst wenn die Wolken schlafengehn              First if the clouds have gone to sleep

kann man uns am Himmel sehn                     you can see us in the sky
wir haben Angst und sind allein                     we are afraid and alone

Gott weiss ich will kein Engel sein                 God knows I don't want to be an Angel

Sie leben hinterm Sonnenschein                    They live behind the sunshine
 
getrennt von uns unendlich weit                        separated from us, infinite expanse
sie müssen sich an Sterne krallen (ganz fest)   they must cling to the stars (very tightly)
damit sie nicht vom Himmel fallen                     so they won't fall from the sky

Erst wenn die Wolken schlafengehn              First if the clouds have gone to sleep

kann man uns am Himmel sehn                     you can see us in the sky
wir haben Angst und sind allein                     we are afraid and alone

Gott weiss ich will kein Engel sein                  God knows I don't want to be an Angel


Erst wenn die Wolken schlafengehn              First if the clouds have gone to sleep

kann man uns am Himmel sehn                     you can see us in the sky
wir haben Angst und sind allein                     we are afraid and alone

Gott weiss ich will kein Engel sein                 God knows I don't want to be an Angel


"Kill me now. I know you have the power- I've seen you display it over the time we've been together," 01 urged, his eyes dulling even further. But just when Duo thought they could dull no more, a strange, demonic golden light began to form in them.

          The Demon's heart raced quickly and he grabbed the hybrid's arm, slinging it over his neck to half-carry, half-drag 01 out of the vast room. The two of them moved like that, with the slim former slave hauling the angel-like creature through the Beast fortress.

          "I will not kill you! We'll just get you to the Mage and you'll be fine…" he cried, glancing out the windows to the darkening skies. It was darker.

          "Duo!" the sound of Quatre's voice sounded over a gruesomely decorated courtyard. Statues of beautiful Angels in exquisite agony littered the grass, and hedges trimmed to look like Beasts were upon them. But there were two real figures standing there: Quatre and the Beast Tamer, Trowa.

          The green-eyed man looked different. His normally crystal-cut emerald eyes were softer, and his sword was sheathed at his waist. He and Quatre were standing close together, looking for a way out. He was free from the Beast's spell at last.

          "What are you still doing here?!" Duo hissed at his cousin, rushing over to them. He could hear 01 groaning softly as he was jostled around roughly, but couldn't really do much about it.

          "I couldn't leave without you! And Trowa knows something about the Beast's plan that you had to know," Quatre replied quickly, glancing around warily.

          Trowa's eyes shifted for a moment before he spoke.

          "Treize plans to use some secret weapon to either control this realm or destroy it and everything in it," he said quietly.

          "Well, I kinda figured that out from what he did to 01," Duo replied tightly, shifting the hybrid onto his back so that he was carrying him that way. He could hear the creature moaning and gasping softly in deep pain with each movement, but there was no other way to do it.

          The former Beast-Tamer stepped forward, his eyes locked on 01. Then the emerald depths narrowed deeply and he took hold of the winged boy's arm, jerking him off the ex-slave's back. 01 hit the ground with a sharp grunt, rolling onto his stomach to avoid further damage to his wings.

          "Get away from that thing!" Trowa raised his voice, anger laced through it for the first time.

          Duo let out a growl and dropped down to kneel by the fallen creature.

          "Why did you do that?! I'm trying to get him as far away from Treize as possible!" he shouted at Trowa.

          "It's too late for him. Stand aside, I'm going to kill him before he transforms."

          01 let out a sigh of relief and mouthed a silent expression of gratitude to Trowa, lying perfectly still on the grass. Maybe now, peace would come…

          "No!" Duo's voice erupted like an active volcano in the courtyard.

          The angel-creature panted, supporting himself on his quaking elbows, and looked at the former slave with yellow-tinged eyes.

          "Demon… You do not know what you are…" He took a moment, swallowing deeply and catching his breath. "… What you are allowing to happen. If I do not die, this world will end…"

          "He is the secret weapon," Trowa finished for him, raising his sword.

          Before either Duo, Quatre or Trowa could say anything more, 01 screamed, his body jerking spastically. One could visibly see his tattooed skin jumping and quivering from the deep muscle spasms. He curled up on his stomach with a loud groan, his wings shivering feverishly- the feathers were soon tinged maroon. With a final scream, the silence came once again.

          01 stood up, his back to them. What the group of Demon's could see were his wings, now maroon with fine, razor-sharp points and his tattoos, shimmering with an almost metallic quality.

          "Master Treize is coming for Beyond Heaven and you cannot stop him." The voice was coming from the hybrid, but it wasn't 01's voice. "He will rule every living and dead creature in this universe and create a new Earth."

          Magic flared at Duo's fists and he flung it at 01, intending to hurt him. But the hybrid absorbed the magic as it hit him. Then he turned around. His eyes were glowing a strange golden color, but they were still dead. There had never been any emotion other than pain in those eyes.

          "That's right, 01."

          There was a huge shock wave, throwing all the Demons to the ground a few feet away, as the Beast-Lord himself appeared behind 01. Treize walked up and put an arm around the creature, no, his creature and chuckled.

          "The Angels never even knew what they had right under their noses. Or, maybe they did and they were too stupid to figure it out. One of the two," He said in his smooth voice. 01 just stared.

          "You won't get away with this! There are… higher powers than a Beast like you could ever dream! Don't think that you're the most powerful!" Quatre stood with Trowa's help, his soft blue eyes passionate with anger now.

          "God? Satan? Buddha? Ra? Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva? I don't believe in such deities. If they did exist, then why did they let the humans of the former Earth destroy themselves? That, I think, is proof enough. Surely the gods they worship would save them from certain destruction, don't you think? And you forget where we are, Demon. We live in Beyond Heaven, and therefore I think that we are above these unknown deities or cosmic beings in Heaven. And how do you know that there is even such a place?"

          "Believing is seeing…" The blonde Demon whispered, standing very close to Trowa.

          Treize shook his head, stroking 01's hair lightly.

          "What they say about Demon's was true… You creatures aren't very bright. 01, destroy them," He commanded.

          The controlled hybrid stared at Duo, Quatre, and Trowa through his yellow eyes. To him they were no longer his friends, or whatever they had been. All of the sudden his eyes widened impossibly and he fell to his knees, gasping. 01's hands clutched at his throat and he made loud choking noises while Treize looked on emotionlessly. Blood dribbled down the hybrid's chin as the tip of a ting, sharp blade protruded from his mouth. He let out a soft moan as he brought the full length of the sword from within him. He stood up again, gave the Demons a glare, and growled.

          They were all blinded for a moment by an intense light and a yell of pain filled their ears. Everything was different- Duo was laid on his back, pressed firmly to the ground by Treize's puppet. Blood gushed down his abdomen from a very wide and deep sword wound. 01 looked pleased.

          "01… Get off me…" The former slave hissed, biting his lip to keep from crying out.

          "01!" Came another sharp, clipped voice from above. The High Mage Wufei himself lofted to the ground. His white and black silk robes had a mystic quality, almost as if they floated around him and his black hair shone. But his obsidian eyes had a different gleam to them…

          "Ah, Wufei… So we meet again. Having fun with Milliardo- Or should I say, Zechs? Do you even remember me at all, Dragon?"

          Wufei's eyes glinted dangerously.

          "Release 01, Treize. We don't have time for games… I know you injected him with the Epyon- How long will it be until he turns on you?"

          "Don't be a fool, Mage. There is no way he could break my hold on him at this point."

          01 glanced blankly at Duo, who was on the ground, a hand over his wound as he tried to staunch the blood flow. His face was a tight grimace of pain, but he tried to stand anyways.

          "He told me what he was! 01 was a human, Treize, and look what you've done to him! He was supposed to die with the rest of his kind and now…" The former slave gasped out, pointing a finger at the hybrid. "All he knows is suffering and if he's going follow the path you've predicted, he'll create the only thing he's ever known!"

          The creature stifled a small groan, hunching over with his wings tensing again, causing Treize to look at him in surprise.

          "Mission Accepted."

          Wufei's eyes darkened further, if that was possible. He started to move carefully over 01 and Treize.

          "Demon, stay out of this. This is none of your business."  Duo's legs wobbled as more blood flowed from his wound, and Quatre ran up to help him.

          "I'll heal you… Let's go back, Duo, I'm sure the Angel and Beast can handle this…" The blonde said softly, pulling at Duo gently. The former slave's eyes blazed and he pushed his cousin away violently, staggering towards the other creatures.

          At that same moment, 01 broke away from Treize's lecherous hold and stumbled, then tripped to land on top of Duo. There was a lonely emptiness in 01's strange eyes- Duo could see and feel the force of that emptiness. The hybrid's tattooed skin was slick with sweat and it glided against Duo's with ease as the two creatures came into contact.

          The ground began to shake.

          "He said that he accepted his mission!" Wufei shouted in disbelief, glaring at Treize. Bright green power collected at his fingertips. "Do you know what that mission is, Beast?!"

          "Of course. To obey my command," Treize replied, snarling through his teeth.

          "No! It is to destroy the world!"

          Duo stared into 01's eyes. His stomach throbbed painfully, but there was no helping it now.

          "01… Please stop… I know you don't want to be controlled by them. I saw the fear in your eyes…" He whispered softly, reaching up to touch the creature's soft brown hair as the ground started to split and crumble around them. The Angel had taken to the air, the Beast was approaching them warily and the Demons had summoned their power to float.

          Treize looked as menacing as ever as he stormed over.

          "01, you are under my command! Cease this at once!"

          "Please, 01… Stop…" Duo whispered in his quiet, smooth voice. It didn't look like the hybrid was responding to any of his calls. 01 was actually moving to get up, but Duo reached forward and grasped his hand tightly. Suddenly a light exploded in the back of his head, causing him to see stars flashing and focus on 01's eyes.

          "Heero."

          01 froze, his eyes widening and returning to their normal deep blue color. He stared into Duo's soul and everything stopped.
