Double Take
Chapter 8
Heero countered Jason's attack with little difficulty and brought down his own beam saber, which Jason stopped short of his head. The two of them battled viciously, while Duo and Morrigan stood face-to-face in complete silence, for what seemed like hours.
"Morrigan I know you! And I know you wouldn't do something like this!" said Duo pleadingly.
"Then I guess you don't now me as well as you thought." Morrigan simpered and blocked the com-link between she and Duo.
Now Duo was even more confused than before, why is she doing this? He asked himself, but had no time to ponder that, for Morrigan had lunged in for an attack.
Duo had seen her in the nick of time and managed to block the attack, but she had still been able to knock his gundam over. He was on the ground with Morrigan on top of him slashing furiously at the gundam.
Duo tried frantically to escape when he noticed that Morrigan had halted her attack and was now standing over him, her beam canon pointing directly at the cockpit he was in. The com-link suddenly flashed on and Duo saw Morrigan's face. It wasn't what he had been expecting her face to look like at this moment. Instead of being full of coldness, her eyes were glassy and full of sorrow. Her cheeks were pale and stained with tears. She just stared at him, and he could tell she was holding back the tears.
"Goodbye Duo." she almost whimpered as she lifted the beam canon a bit more and began to put pressure on the trigger.
"Morrigan please. please don't. I know you don't want to do this." Duo yelled.
"You don't know anything!" she screamed putting a little more pressure on the trigger. "First I will kill you, then I will destroy the 'boy' who killed my brother Odin, I will destroy Heero Yuy!" she roared as she turned and aimed the canon at gundam 01.
"What are you talking about!? Heero is your brother!!!"
Morrigan froze. What? Could it be? Is it even possible? No! It can't be! This is just a trick!
"You're lying!" She shrieked "you have to be! He can't be him, Heero killed him!"
"He didn't kill him because he is him." Duo said irritably, feeling the urge to slap Morrigan back to reality.
"No. no my brother was Odin Lowe Jr. not Heero Yuy." Said Morrigan was an eerie calm in her voice, as she fired the canon at Heero, missing the cockpit and hitting his gundam's left arm, completely obliterating it. Heero was now out of the fight for good and the odds were now 2:1.
"How could you do tha-"
"Silence! I've heard enough." She cut him off and turned to point the canon at Duo again.
"Why don't you ask your partner about it!" Duo yelled fiercely.
Morrigan paused and looked at Jason's gundam. He was just standing there watching the whole performance. His face came through the com-link and the smirk on it told her all.
"Well my dear? What are you waiting for? Annihilate them." He simpered.
"Is it true?" said Morrigan weakly, Jason remained grinning his evil grin.
"Is it true!?" Morrigan repeated a little stronger, but Jason's grin only became more menacing.
"Answer the question you sorry excuse for a human being!!!" she screamed in irritation, Jason began to laugh maniacally.
"Ha ha ha, surely you must have figured it out by now. You're a smart girl" he laughed "in a battle a warrior must do whatever it takes to win, even if that includes using other people in the process, wise words don't you think?" Morrigan was trembling as she thought of the horrendous thing she had almost done. The tears were pouring down her cheeks now and the trembling had worsened.
"Aww what's wrong my dear? Lost your nerve have you? Well I guess that if you want something done right you just have to do it yourself." Sneered Jason as he pointed his beam canon at Duo and fired.
