Chapter 8 (I think)
Immediately, Duo couldn't help but think
'Not this all over again!' First, Soa had worked tirelessly to help Duo get his memory back, then, when Duo finally had his back, Soa had to go and lose his, god dammit!! Heero, without word, walked up and grabbed Soa's arm, the boy's eyes flashed with panic.
"What the hell?!" He yelled as Heero held a hand over his eyes. "What're you-?!" Suddenly he fell limp in Heero's hands. Duo glared.
"What did you do?!" He demanded.
"I put him under a sleep spell." Heero said quietly. Quatra stared.
"What's going on?" He asked softly. Heero and Duo stared at him.
"Sit down. This is going to be a lot to take in." Duo stated.
~~~
Rya bit down on her already well chewed nail as she stared. According to what Heero and Duo had said, Soa was now . . . . stuck with amnesia again?! She growled.
"Alright, this stops now, I want the truth, plain and simple." She growled out. Everyone looked at her. Duo shook his head.
"We shouldn't tell-" Heero slapped his hand over his friend's mouth.
"No. She deserves to be told." Heero said firmly. Duo glared. Heero removed his hand from Duo's mouth and took a deep breath.
"Alright. I'll make this short. Duo, Soa, and myself, are not exactly who you think we are." Rya raised an eyebrow.
"I know, neither is Quatra, Wufei or Trowa over there." Duo paled.
"What?! They're gods too?!" Quatra stared, Wufei turned white and Trowa glared. Rya gaped.
"Gods?! What?! Aren't you talking about being Gundam Pilots?!" Duo stared, then slapped a hand to his head a groaned. Heero sighed.
"Not quite. The five of us ARE Gundam Pilots, but Soa isn't, the reason for all this confusion is . . . well, Soa's a god. The god of destruction." Remembering what Soa had said to him before his brother had left the Ethereal lands, Duo flinched.
"Former god anyway . . ." Duo whispered. Wufei glared.
"What are you talking about Maxwell?!" He demanded. Heero shook his head.
"I'm the god of Courage, and Duo, is the god of death." Rya stared, then shook her head. Taking a note out of her pocket, she sighed.
"So, that's what he meant then." She said sadly while looking at the paper.
*Dear Rya
I guess you know what I really am now. Oh well, it was going to happen, I knew it would. Thanks for taking care of me, but I have to go. Things to do, places to run. Funny, I thought being what I am would be easier. Oh well, sorry for not telling you, but please keep this a secret, maybe I'll see you again someday. Don't worry, I don't mean that whole thing about us meeting in the afterlife. My time with you has been the best I've had in a while. Thanks again
Soa.*
Heero held a hand out so that he could read the paper, she handed it to him and he read it. He frowned.
"Did he give you anything else?" He asked softly. Rya nodded, then pulled out the cross and the second note, she hadn't read the second one yet. He took both.
'A blood ruby, that's strange, why would he give her that?' Heero wondered softly. Opening the note, he read that too. His eyes widened. Suddenly, a memory came flooding back. He paled considerably.
"Heero? Dude, what's wrong?" Duo asked quickly. Heero couldn't speak, whipping his head to face Soa, he scowled.
"He knew. He knew ALL along!" Heero spat angrily. Duo flinched. He'd never heard Heero talk like THAT.
"He knew? Knew WHAT Yuy?" Wufei demanded.
"That's accursed, stinking, stupid, moron, of a PRAT!" Heero cursed.
"That right." A voice said calmly, they spun around to find Alacrity standing there, clad in a white miniskirt and a black tank top so that she could blend in.
"You knew." Heero accused. She nodded.
"Of course Gallantry." She replied. He paled.
"Then that means that I'm . . . . oh god . . ." He suddenly sat down.
"Correct." Was all she said.
"Who are you?" Rya demanded. Alacrity shrugged.
"My name is Alacrity, I am the goddess of speed." Rya frowned.
"Another god?" She demanded softly. Alacrity chuckled.
"There are more then simply three. For every entity that exists, there must be a god to control it."
"You must have a hard time remember names." Rya groaned. Alacrity smiled.
"You get used to it eventually." Heero on the other hand decided to vent his frustrations on the wall next to him. A.k.a, he punched the wall. Then he turned to Soa, and stomped up to him. Duo stepped into his path, shaking, but determined.
"Nuh uh Heero, you're not going to hurt Soa." Heero ignored him. Walking up to Soa, he yanked the boy up by the collar of his shirt and growled out.
"Wake UP!" Magic flooded into his words, and in seconds, Soa's eyes were fluttering as he woke up. His eyes were dull for a moment, before recognition sank in.
"Who the he-!"
"Shut up and stay quiet." Heero growled, using his best Zero-death glare. Soa shut up instantly. Duo couldn't help but snort. Heero vs. God Soa = Soa winner. Heero vs. Human Soa = Soa being pulverized into a pulp. Heero scowled.
"Now, what do you remember?" Soa blinked.
"Uh. . . remember?"
"About yourself! Name! Past! Home, family, friends, ANYTHING!" Heero growled. Soa flinched.
"Okay, okay, no need to kill my hearing." Soa blinked, thought, then his face turned to one of panic.
"Holy hell!" He got out as his skin went dead white.
'I don't get this, it isn't until the guy asked me about this, that I realized I have no clue as to who the hell I am, where I'm from or anything!' Soa thought wildly. As he was now mortal, Heero could hear all of Soa's thoughts, and he did not like the direction they were taking.
'Is he the reason why? Is this guy the one who did this to me?' Soa glared up at Heero, the god in question felt his body tense. If Soa attacked, he'd have to fight back. Soa tensed on his feet, ready to leap and attack, he was about to jump when-
'Friend. . . .'
Soa and Heero froze. Soa stepped back.
"Wha-?"
'He'll help you.' Soa's mind persisted. Heero blinked. Was it possible. . . ? Could Soa have actually retained some of his memories. . . ? He had to try.
"Soa?" Soa blinked.
". . . . . . . . is . . . . . is that my name?" He murmured. Heero looked at him, then nodded.
"Soa. . . . it . . . it feels right." He murmured.
"Welcome back . . . . . . Aquila Chrysaetos."
