Saturn walked around the corner and saw that the streets were bare. She looked up at the sky and hoped that Heero was okay. She looked down at the locket he had finally gave to her. Inside, was a picture of them both. She felt the tears coming, but she knew she had to stay strong for the sake of them both. She placed the locket around her neck and went around the Palace one last time.

Gundam Wing Zero fired, causing the other opponent to retreat. He looked at the picture, wondering just how was his firefly was doing. He heard the beep of the other polits and he answered. " What the heck is wrong with you?" Wu Fei asked. Heero looked at the screen. " Nothing..." he said. " Nothing my ass! You're off task, not to mention that you're not killing the opponent." he heard. Heero ignored the sound of his fellow polit's voice as his mind drifted off towards the thought of Saturn. He placed a smile on his face and closed his eyes.

" Come back to me....."

He opened his eyes and knew exactly what he had to do. " Understood...." he whispered, and took off towards the fortress. "Heero, where are you going?!" Duo asked, watching the leading Gundam fly off.

Saturn ran down the street and heard, from her headset, " Saturn, where are you?" Saturn looked around. " Downtown Tokyo. I'm making sure that there isn't anyone here." she replied. " Well, I think you might be glad to hear from someone." Milyardo stated. Saturn raised an eyebrow and wondered who it was. She heard static and then a familiar voice.

(Think of some sappy, but sad instrusmental)

" Saturn...."

Saturn stopped in her tracks. " Heero?"

Heero sighed as he approched the fortress. " I wanted you to know that everything will be okay..... but....."

" Heero, what are you talking about...."

" I.... I can't keep the promise I made to you....."

" What do you mean?!" Saturn felt sick all over again.

" I might not make it out alive.... there is just too much at stake right now, and I don't want you caught up in it...."

"Heero, don't you dare leave me...." Saturn said, tears flowing down her cheeks. Uranus, Pluto and Neptune came from around the corner and looked at Saturn.

"Saturn, I wanted to make sure something...."

Saturn sniffed as she tried to hold her tears.... " Do you love me?" he asked her.

Saturn looked down at the ground. There was nothing she could do. Nothing in the world.... nothing was going to change his mind.....

"Yes.... I do love you Heero.... I always have and I always will."

Heero smirked and replied, " I love you too."

Saturn fell to her knees once she heard the static from the other end. She wrapped her arms around her torso and cried. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto raced up to her. " Saturn, what's going on?" Uranus asked. Saturn stared at the ground, her tears still falling. " Please, tell us." Neptune stated.

Pluto looked down at her leader and then remembered something. " Saturn, you're needed in space." Everyone looked at her, including Saturn. Pluto held up the keys to Saturn's Gundam. Saturn stood up and looked at the keys. " We can manage down here. You have to destroy the source of the problem. Keep your communicator on." Pluto said. Saturn grabbed the keys and took off down the street. " Hold on, Heero.... I'm on my way."

(End instrumental)

Heero dodged the attack and narrowed his eyes. " I'm sorry that I couldn't keep my promise, Saturn.... but you must understand that it's the best way I can save you...." he thought, taking the Self-Destruct button out. He knew what he had to do.... he knew that there was no other way.

Saturn, after changing into something comfrontable, jumped into the cockpit of her Gundam. " Alright, Chaos Demon, show me what you've got." she thought, turning it on. The Gundam Suit moved and the basement hatch opened. She looked at her father and smiled. " I don't know if I'm coming back, Papa.... but thank you for everything....." she thought.

What is Heero thinking?! Why is he doing this to Saturn? And why can't he just go back and stay by her side?! Stay tune for the final chapter!
