Chapter 14- The End
Heero looked up as the two guards fell. He helped Relena up.
"Hey did you miss us?"
"Duo, you gave us a scare!" snapped Heero.
"But it wasn't me. It was Wufei."
"Wufei?"
"Sorry about that." Wufei pulled out a communicator. "The princess and her knight have been found."
Relena gasped and looked at Heero. He just rolled his eyes. He then looked at Relena.
"You ready to get out of here?"
Relena smiled and nodded her head.
"Oh before we go take this."
Duo threw a filled syringe at Heero. Heero caught it and just looked at it.
"I figured since you got hit with a gun, you'd probably have a headache. It's to ease the pain."
Heero smiled.
"Thanks Duo."
As Heero finished injecting himself, another pair of guards passed by. Wufei and Duo did quick work of them. Duo passed Heero back his gun. Heero thanked him again. Wufei held a door open. Duo went in first and Wufei led the rear. Wufei and Duo had activated an elevator. Wufei turned back to the communicator.
"Is it clear up top?"
"Um...let's just say Trowa's taking care of the loose ends."
"Is it safe for us to get out of here once we reach ground zero?"
"Oh yeah...Trowa says it's clear."
Wufei replaced the communicator as the elevators slid open. Relena gasped as she realized where they were.
"What's going on?"
Relena took a step out of the elevator, and a step into a church chapel.
"Don't you like it?" another voice questioned.
They all turned their heads to face him. A blonde hair man sat on the steps going towards the altar. A coffin lay at the altar. He stood up and aimed the gun straight at Relena. Clearly unamused, Relena started to walk away.
"Do you have a death wish?"
Relena stopped and looked at him.
"Why'd you build it Richard?"
"You mean the chapel. Do you see this coffin Relena?"
She nodded in acknowledgement.
"This is where my father lies..."
Relena narrowed her eyes.
"...And this is where you're going to lie."
The gunshot rang in all their ears. Richard dropped to the ground clutching his shoulder. Relena peeled her eyes away. She looked at Heero. He had fired his gun, and the rest were prepared to.
Heero placed his gun in the back of his pants. The others lowered their gun. Relena walked towards the door. As she opened them, another gun was placed at her forehead.
"Don't move!"
"Cherry? What are you doing?"
"Getting rid of the competition and my father's murderer."
"Is that why you're doing this to me?" questioned Relena.
"Of course it is! You had everything. Everyone loved you. I harbored you no ill will till you led my brother into the bedroom and then cried rape. Then you thought you could kill someone and get away with it. It's just not human! You went too far."
"How long has he been poisoning your mind? How long have you been believing these lies?"
"What do you mean? How do I know you're the one telling the truth?"
A fit of coughs was heard behind the.
"You don't, but then again I'm not the one hiding things...am I Richard?"
They all turned, except Relena, to see Richard staggering to stand up. He started to cough up blood.
"Kill...her..."
Richard fell over dead. His blood started to spread around his body. The blood began to lodge inside the carpet.
"Do as he said Cherry. Kill me! Or are you afraid to take my life?"
Relena narrowed her eyes.
"Cherry don't do it!"
Cherry looked over at Heero.
"And why shouldn't I?"
"Because Cherry this would solve nothing. It won't bring back you're father. It won't make you feel any better."
"You would know wouldn't you? Being a gundam pilot right?"
"That's right. I saw things, and did things in the war. Some things I regret doing."
"You know what you should have did Cherry?"
Cherry started to get nervous. The gun shook a little.
"What's that?"
"You should have asked Richard why he killed your father before he died. Richard's the one who told you I killed him right?"
Realization dawned on Cherry. The gun began to shake violently.
"You lie!"
The right gun fired after that.
Heero looked up as the two guards fell. He helped Relena up.
