Death's Promise - Prologue
- - - - -
A few years had passed since the last war had been fought and the Gundams had been destroyed. But the five former Gundam pilots still hadn't parted ways. In fact, they were even sharing a house on Earth. Not all five of them lived there on a regular basis, seeing as some of them had jobs that sent them all over Earth and the Colonies.

November 17th, AC 203

The former Gundam pilots had gathered in the living room of their house - Heero sitting in an armchair, typing away on his laptop, Trowa and Quatre on the couch, watching a movie and Wufei sitting on the floor, his legs folded underneath him and sharpening his katana.
Duo had left the house a few hours ago, claiming that it was 'too boring here' and all of them were 'no fun'. Fact was that nobody had been able to keep up with Duo anymore after he had consumed his eighth cup of coffee and a bunch of chocolate bars. Now they were enjoying the peace and quiet while it lasted, knowing that once Duo got back, he would probably continue to try and pester them into 'doing something'.
Sometimes they didn't know where he got the energy from. Even with all the sugar and caffeine he consumed, the phenomena of endless energy usually only occurred around little children and over-protective mothers. Last time they checked, Duo was neither.
Suddenly the TV went black for a few moments, startling Trowa and Quatre, the only ones who were really paying attention to what happened on the screen at that time. When the picture came back, it had changed.
/We are sorry to have to interrupt the current program but we just received important news,/ the newscaster, who was now on instead of the movie, told them.
This got Wufei to raise his head up from where he had been concentrated on his sword, and watch the happenings on the TV screen as well.
/A few minutes ago a mall in the center of the city exploded. The reason was a bomb, placed in the building. The mall and other buildings in the near vicinity have been totally destroyed or greatly damaged. We don't know the whole extent of this catastrophe yet but it seems as if nobody has been killed and only few people were injured. We have to thank a young man for this. For some reason he knew of the bomb and arranged for the evacuation of the buildings. Oh, one moment, please! I just got some new information.../
The newscaster touched a hand to his headset while he was apparently listening to what was told to him.
/Unfortunately I have to correct what I said earlier. I just received news that there now is the death of one person confirmed. I'm sorry to hear that the young man, who has saved the lives of all the people, who would without him have been in the building when it exploded, got killed. It still is unclear how he even knew about the bomb but it seems like he went back into the mall after everybody was evacuated. We think that he wanted to try and keep the bomb from exploding but unfortunately he was to late. I was told that the explosion threw him out through on of the windows before the building collapsed but he was killed when he hit the ground... I just heard that by now his identity has been confirmed./
The attention of four former Gundam pilots was now fixed onto the TV screen.
/It's the pilot of the Gundam Deathscyhte, Duo Maxw-/
Trowa had switched off the TV and now an uneasy silence spread in the room.
"That can't be true..." Quatre finally whispered in a dead voice.
Nobody answered him but all of them agreed: Duo Maxwell couldn't be dead. I just wasn't possible.
The police officers that arrived at their house not fifteen minutes later told them differently.
