Questioning of battles

Part one: Relena's discovery

Relena Dorlian, or Peacecraft sat on her bed in the rebuilt Sanc kingdom. The curtains were wide open letting in the sunlight, the white walls bounced the sunlight in all directions of the room lighting the dark corners up, while the shadows fled for their lives. Relena sighed moving a small pad from against her chest; it belonged to Heero Yuy. The friend she hadn't seen a good while since Deacon Barton's attempt to relive Operation Meteor as it should have been carried out, and through the daughter of Trieze Kushradnada. Relena stared transfixed on the words upon the paper, blinking away tears she began to read:

Earth, the planet in the solar system that miraculously gave birth to life. In the year after colony 195, with the colonies development, people now live in new surroundings, thanks to plentiful natural resources and cultivated technological abilities.

However, this new world is nothing but an imitation of humankind's motherland, earth. Why were the colonies made in the first place?

I hear the main purpose was technological development to improve humankind's life on earth.

Did human kind start asking too much from this imitation world? The self-sustained life of the colonies is more stable than life on earth, since it lacks the risks of natural disasters.

It appears that his unlimited growth was guaranteeing the eternal existence of humankind. Perhaps there was an age where people dreamed of the possibilities in the outer space.

However its' unthinkable that the colonies or humankind will ever forget the earth.

What did technological development in the colonies bring to earth? The kind of technology the earth wants most; Military power.

Destruction is a human natural, it can never be gotten rid of or Eliminated. And now, the colonies are developing a militaristic disposition.

The colonies cannot forget the earth.

The earth has great beauty; The animals that inhabit this planet known as humans have acquired such strength, they think about controlling the planet for themselves.

From a point of view, from a planet's life, the life of a living thing lasts no more than an instant. In the end, it is only themselves the humans can think of. Nothing changes.

The time spent by humans in outer space, has been a complete waste of time. The ideal is nothing but a dream.

This false pacifism, this false living space. Outer space is nothing but a breeding ground for even more battles in the future.

Wars throughout history have claimed many lives. Although humankind hasn't forgotten the sorrow caused by the wars, they have not stopped fighting.

The blood and tears they shed in battle are merely ceremonial. One can't speak of history with referring to the wars in each era as important events.

I'm sure the pale pep-talks of fighting for peace, have been repeated numerous of times in the past. Colonies say they need military armaments to maintain peace.

Its' No different from on earth. The colonies think they've joined the big boys. I guess they believe that the bloodshed would lead to higher ground...

So why do people fight anyway?

Perhaps, the meaning of existence lies within their will to fight.

People feel a sense of accomplishment through battle.

And its' also a fact, that the ones actually fighting are never perceived as the ones being tainted.

Relena sighed resting the pad, on her lap, looking up fondly at the plaster mold design on the ceiling above her. The sunlight shined onto her tears, causing them to sparkle. They rolled down her cheeks onto the pad. "Heero...," She whispered closing her eyes.

Author's note: Hi again. This is my second Gundam wing Fiction. Anyway, this is more-or-less a Semi-dialogue story, based on the little speech Heero gave his classmates in Episode 17: Tallgese destroyed (or was it 18?) I can't remember. But I was moved by his speech in a such a way that it inspired me to write another GW Fic. Its' set after Endless waltz, and its' a 2 part story... If I can cram what your about to read in two parts ^ _^; If not, 3 should do just dany. Anyways I hope enjoyed the story, sorry for any misspelled words, or grammar problems or names. No flames, constructive Reviews only, and write them once more with feeling! Sakura123~
