but Chibi Reli likes it.
Gundam Wing: Crisis- Angel of Love and Peace
"So here I am. Relena Peacecraft, the princess of peace, the most powerful politician who avocated total pacifism to the letter, the woman who even condoned war and battles in movies. And now I'm here, leading a massive army of thousands of mobile suits into a battle which can change history as we know it. What am I thinking?" She asks outloud, putting her hand around the necklace given to her.
"Two minutes left Miss Relena," Howard reports onscreen.
"Thanks. Is everyone ready?"
"Section 1 ready Relena," Quatre answers.
"Section 2 all set Princess," Duo comments, giving the thumbs up.
"Section 3 is awaiting your command," Trowa answers.
"Section 4 is waiting," Wufei states.
"Section 5 is all good Relena," Milliardo says.
"And section 6 is ready and waiting right behind you Relena," Noin comments.
"One minute Miss Relena."
"Relena, are you ready?" Trowa asks over the line.
"I don't know. What in the world am I doing?" She asks outloud, grabbing her controls.
"You're being a leader Relena and you're fighting for what you believe in and the man you love," Trowa answers, trying to calm her nerves.
"T minus thirty seconds."
"Alright. Everyone get ready. WE'll let them make the first move, so be ready to move out of the way if need be," Relena commands, watching the horizon for any movements.
"10,9,8." the countdown begins as Sally, Hilde, Dorothy and the other members of the crew await the start of battle.
"7,6,5." the Gundam pilots await the commands.
"4,3,2." Relena continues her watch, taking her hand off her necklace.
"1,0." Eveyone waits silently as the horizon stays dark, until dozens of beams of light appear and head straight towards the group. *
"Only a few more minutes sir," Katsumi reports as she sits in the cockpit of her mobile suit overlooking the trrops in front of her.
"Yes, I know. IS everyone set?" Mr. Lee asks, his face showing his anticipation.
"All mobile dolls are fully functional and all soldiers are ready for attack. Number one and I are also standing by," she says, looking at the man next to her.
"Less than a minute."
"One, you know what to do right?"
"Yes sir." He nods his head, grip tightening on his controls.
"You'll finally get what you deserve Relena Peacecraft."
"10,9,8,7,6."
"Fire when times up and show them what we're made of." His fist becomes tighter, his knuckles turning white.
"5,4,3,2,1,0."
"Fire!" he commands as the hundreds of beams shoot forward. *
"How is everyone?" Relena asks as ashe dodges another suit.
"Everyone was able to escape that first blast, but the enemy is letting go a huge number of mobile suits," Howard reports from the ship.
"Then we better start this. And just stay close Relena."
"I'll be just fine Noin," Relena says as she goes deeper into the battle. *
"How's the battle going?" Mr. Lee asks Katsumi as she watches the battle from the side lines.
"We've started our attack and we seem evenly matched for the most part. But that will change once we get him out there." She grins evily while eyeing the pilot.
"Alright then. Number one, get ready for battle now."
"Yes sir. I'll be out in a few minutes." HE starts typing away at his computer, getting ready.
"Take your time. I want to see what happens." He leans back in his chair, taking a drink from his glass of water and then squeezing the teddy bear on his desk lightly. *
"Does anyone see Heero?"
"Nothing yet Relena," Trowa responds as the troops fight back, trying not to kill anyone who might be inside one of the enemy sutis.
"HE has to be here somewhere. We've already been in battle for a while," Duo states, slicing a head off.
"There is are some suits that just seems to be standing around," Sally says over the speakers.
"That isn't Heero's style though. But maybe we should do something about it," Quatre comments.
"Just keep an eye on it," Relena says as she cuts off an enemy's arm and goes for another one.
"Relena, a new suit has entered the battle and is quickly taking down men. I think it may be Heero," HOwards reports, watching as the lights representing their suits suddenly disappear in one section.
"Alright. I'm going after it then." She starts to jet off but Milliardo blocks her off.
"You can't be serious Relena. I'll handle him."
"No Milliardo. I have to do this. You just stay here and help the others." She moves around him and speeds off, leaving him to destroying the suits behind her. *
"This is way too easy," Heero says as he destroys another suit.
"Number one, there is a strange mobile suit heading your way," Katsumi reports.
"It's probably that princess brat. Take care of her."
"Yes sir." After slicing another one, he jets off to meet Relena. *
"That's not Wing Zero. And he doesn't seem to be over there. Where is he?" Relena wonders outloud after disabling another suit.
"Miss Relena! Mobile suit right behind you!" one of the men shout. She quickly moves out of the way, barely missing having her arm shot off. *
"Missed." HE goes back around and tries for another shot, only to miss again. HE then drops his gun and takes out his saber.
"Heero. Is that you?" Relena asks, taking her's as well and blocking Heero's strike.
"I don't know who you're talking about."
"Heero. It's me Relena. You gotta remember."
"I don't need to remember anything. So just fight me or else let me destroy you." He attacks more fiercely this time, shaking her up. ***
"IT looks like Relena has found Heero," Duo comments as he sees their battle thorugh a small part of his screen.
"Yeah, but is she ready to handle it?" Wufei asks outloud.
"This doesn't look good for her," Noin says.
"I think I have an idea. Lady Une, contact all television channels and tell them to air the footage of Relena and Heero. We may just have to use an old strategy of ours," Quatre says, a small grin on his face.
"I'm on it Quatre," Lady Une responds. ***
"I forgot Heero was the best pilots out of the bunch. I really gotta be careful," Relena whispers.
"Just get outta my way," Heero commands as he attacks again.
"Heero you gotta realize who you really are. The enemy is just using you." Her Gundam shakes and she feels something bang onher chest. She looks down and sees the necklave Heero had gotten for her. "Don't you remember this?" Relena asks, taking out the necklace from Heero and letting it swing slowly. "You gave it to me back then when you first recused me from Yoshido. You gotta remember."
"That necklace. *Heero enters a jewelry store and goes up to the counter. "Excuse me, I'm here to pick up an order under the name Yuy." The old man turns around and looks at Heero. "Let me look for it." He goes into the back room, but then quickly gets out. "Here we go sir. I must say, this is a pretty expensive piece of jewelry. It must be for someone special." "It's for a friend," Heero said back in his cold voice. "Well then, it must be for a girl no doubt." "Hm." "So, is it anyone I know?" Heero pays the man and takes the box from him. "Everyone knows her. You hear her name everyday." He leaves the store and leaves the old man with a inquisitive look on his face.*
Relena? What are these thoughts!" he screams, as he grabs his head and moves away. ***
"One how are you doing? One?" Katsumi asks, trying to get his attention.
"Get out of my head!" he screams again.
"That damn Peacecraft brat. Men, take control. I have some business to attend to."
"Yes ma'am." Katsumi blasts off towards the two, while getting in touch with Mr. Lee.
"Sir, we have a problem. One may be reverting back to himself."
"Then fix it. We can't afford to loose him," he says, slamming his fists on the table.
"Yes sir." ***
"Huh? Mama. Papa. What's happening?" a little girl asks as her family watches tv and the battle scene suddenly appears on the screen.
"IT looks like the final battle has started already. And that looks like Vice Foreign Minister Dorlain's so called suit," the mother asks as she switches the channels, seeing the same on each one. ***
"IT's all setup Quatre," Lady Une reports.
"Good. Then just set it up so everyone could here what Relena and Heero are talking about," Quatre reports.
"Shouldn't we go help Relena? She looks like she's have some problems," Noin replies.
"We can't afford that right now. There are too many suits," Duo says.
"We have to trust her though. That Gundam of hers will take care of her. WE just gotta believe in her," Trowa says as he takes down another suit. ***
"You remember Heero don't you? Remember that time I found you on the beach and the times we danced and all the times you had come to rescue me," Relena says as she tries a swing at him herself.
"*Heero looks at the Gundam as it sways back and forth with the light reflecting off of it. "Relena. Ug!" He hopes back into his suit and closes the cockpit behind. "I'll have you next time." With those words, he flies out of the hole he made.
"Heero, please come back."*
Stop it. Just stop it."
"You heard the man," Katsumi says as she attacks Relena, ctaching her offgaurd.
"Who are you?" Relena asks as she tries to defend herself, starting the dance between them, Heero in the background.
"My name is Katsumi. A very close follower of Mr. Lee."
"Why are you following him?"
"Because of the same reason you follow One around. I would do anything for him, even die."
"HE doesn't care for you. If he did, he wouldn't make you fight. He's a empty man who is controlling people against their will to fight a war that is completely meaningless." ***
"What's going on?" one of the men on base ask as he and the others watch the fight.
"IT looks like Katsumi is fighting Miss Relena." ***
"One don't listen to a word she says," Katsumi commands as he watched the two women fight.
"Don't listen to her Heero. She's just tricking you. Believe in me," she pleads.
"Stop confusing me."
"We don't have time for this." Katsumi suddenly flies straight for Relena, smashing her arm through Angel's head. Relena's whole body jerks at the attack, coming up with one last attack as Katsumi continues to attack.
"There's no way Angel can fight after these attacks. IT looks like there's only one way to get you out of this Heero. I'm just going to have to self-destruct." She opens a flap above her head and presses the red button under it, sounding off an alarm. ***
"Relena. Don't do it," Noin screams, trying to get to her through all the suits, being unsuccessful.
"Dammit. We can't get to her," Milliardo states. ***
"This is going even better than I thought. There's no way blowing herself up is going to have One return to his normal self." ***
Katsumi takes once last punch, sending her arm straight through Angel's body. "It looks like my job here is done." She tries to take her arm out, but it won't let out. "What in the.let go of me."
"It was your decision to attack and because of that it's your decision to die."
"You're crazy! I'm just gonna have to shot my way outta here." She takes out a gun and aims it towards Relena.
"If I blow up, you blow up."
"Hnn," Katsumi growls as she tries to get free.
"I'm doing what I have to do. IN order to help free all those that have been enslaved. I just hope that this will bring you back to your sense and I hope that you will always know how much I care for you. This is my way of thanking you for everything you've done for me and I want you to know I will love you no matter who or what you do. Good bye Chuchu," Relena says, looking at Heero, tears starting down her eyes.
"Chuchu?
*"What are you doing?" he sadi in his stern voice.
"I;m trying to make you smile. I haven't seen you smile once and I'll make it my mission to make you smile." She takes the teddybear and shakes it back and forth in front of Heero's face.*
* "WE're both going to get there, right Heero?"
"Yeah. We'll both get there, no matter what."
"You promise?"
"I promise."
"Then I promise too and while we're at it, why don't we add a hot fudge sundae into that promise?"
"Sure, why not," Heero said with his voice having a bit of happiness in it. He laid back down on the floor, looked at the ceiling and then at Relena. Relena smiles back.*
Relena!" Heero starts to head towards Relena but before he knows it, Relena's Gundam is engulfed in a ball of light, spreading throughout space. "No. Relena!"
***
Everyone stops as they see the explosion from far away. "I can't believe she did that," Howard says.
"She gave up her life for us," Wufei says.
"Relena. It can't be. No. No!" Milliardo screams as he covers his face with this hands. ***
"No. Katsumi," Mr. Lee says, bowing his head trying not to shed tears. ***
"Miss Relena killed herself," another man from the base says after watching the scene unfold.
"She self-destructed in order to save the one that she loves."
"And she didn't even know if it would work."
"What are we doing here? WE should be on Miss Relena's side." Cheers are heard throughout the bases as the necklaces around their necks turn black. ***
"Heero. Are you okay?" Duo asks, suddenly remembering his former ally.
"."
"Leave him alone. HE needs some time and we gotta concentrate on not getting ourselves killed," Trowa replies.
"Hey you guys. You won't believe it. People from the different bases have taken complete control of the bases and are surrendering. Hopefully, the main base will be taken soon," Howard reports.
"At least something good will come out of Relena's sacrifice," Quatre replies. ***
"Sir. We have a problem," one man reports.
"What is it?"
"Most of the soldiers are rioting. They don't seem to be under our control any more."
"Well then do something about it!" Mr. Lee commands, standing from his desk.
"We don't know." The screen goes blank.
"You'll pay for this Peacecraft," he says, making his way out of the room. ***
"Hey. They're stopping. But why?" Lady Une questions as she watches all the suits stop. Suddenly a strange man appears on the screen.
"Attention Preventers. We the people of Miss Relena have taken control of all KioDawn bases. We are truly sorry for all the pain and deaths we may have caused and are willing to give ourselves in to be punished for our deeds. In the memory of Miss Relena who gave her life for us."
"Alright then. Let's round up the last of the troops that aren't mobile suits," Duo says, grinning.
"You guys go on ahead. I'm going to go check on Heero," Quatre says. ***
"Is the war really over?" Hilde asks.
"I think it is. Thanks of course to Relena," Lady Une reports. ***
"Heero. Are you there?" Silence. "Heero?" Silence. "It's painful isn't it? But she did it to save all of us and it worked. At least she didn't die in vain."
"Please just leave me alone Quatre," Heero says, hiding his face from view.
"Alright. But we'll be waiting for you back on NeoPeacemillion."
"Why? Why did you do that Relena?" Heero asks outloud, his body starting to shake.
"I'm glad you're you Heero," a voice says over the intercom.
"Relena?" HE suddenly sees a small falsh from away and flies towards it. He stops and sees a body floating in space. He moves close enough so the body floats towards him and catches it. "Are you alright?"
"Heero," Relena says.
"Everyone will be glad you're alive." He wraps his arms around her, keeping her standing.
"Please don't tell them. Not yet. I just want some rest now." She rests her head on his chest and falls asleep.
"Anything you want," he whispers. ***
A blond haired woman slowly walks her way down the hallway, leaning against the wall for support. A leg wrapped in bandages peaks out from her robe as do serveal other ones on her arms and chest. She comes up to a room a peers in to see a group of her friend's minus one pilot watching tv.
"Churchs, synagogues, temples, and other places all over the world are continuing to mourn the lost of Vice Foreign Minister Dorlain. She was a great woman, especially at the age of 19. Her person will be greatly missed, but as all things must go along, so is the way of life for everyone."
"And the time that everyone has waited for has arrived. The winner of the elections was none other than Vice Foreign Minister Dorlain herself. IT seems though she went against her ideals of total pacifism, people found her action justified in giving up her life for the ones that she loved. Unfortunately, though she is no longer among us, the position will go to Mr. Yamato Seki. He will be sworn into office one month from today."
"Preventer's say that all men who were forced into battle wiil not be prosecuted, but those who willing went in have been capture. The whereabouts of Mr. Lee though, the leader of the KioDawn alliance is still at large. Lady Une has posted a bounty of 25 million dollars for the arrest of this man."
"It's good to hear things are getting back to normal." She works her way down and soon sees the missing pilot looking outside at the stars. She makes her way, her reflection and his showing in the window.
"You should be in bed. You still need to rest and people may be able to see you," he says as she makes her way towards the window, leaning onit for support, a gundam shining around her neck.
"I know, but I needed to get out of that room. And I was careful." Silence covers the two.
"Why did you do it? Self-destruct like that?" he asks, looking at her for the first time in a long time.
"Because I had run out of options. I tried talking to you, but that didn't work. And then that woman appeared and the only thing I could think of doing was pushiong the button. I hoped that would make something rattle in that thick skull of yours," she replies, letting a smile appear and a small giggle.
"I'm not worth that though." HE turns his eyes back outside.
"To me you are. That's why I did all of it. I couldn't stand the thought of not having you in my life." Silence covers again. "I guess I should be heading back then." She turns around carefully and attempts to make a step, only to trip on herself. But before she lands on the ground, a strong pair of arms capture her.
"You should be more careful," he says. Relena slowly lifts her head up and looks straight into Heero's eyes. Only a few seconds seem to pass like years as Heero lowers his head towards her, capturing her in a kiss. ***
"I'm glad that you have chosen me to be your new Vice Foreign Minister and I promise to do whatever it takes to put Miss Relena's new ideals into practice," the black haired man announces on podium.
"Excuse me Vice Foreign Minister Seki, but what do you think Miss Relena would want to do with mobile suits, especially the gundams?"
"I believe Miss Relena wanted us to slowly get rid of all our weapons. I believe that she would've wanted to get rid of the Gundams first, since they are our most powerful weapons. SO by taking them away, we take a major step in disarmament."
"I think you're wrong Vice Foreign Minister Seki," a voice says from the back. Eveyrone looks back to see a blond haired woman with sunglasses starring at them. She slowly takes them off, revealing blue eyes.
"Vice Foreign Minister DOrlain?" Mr. Seki exclaims.
"Ex-Vice Foreign Minister Dorlain. And it's Peacecraft now. As for your thoughts, it may seem like a good idea at first but may not be in the long run. The Gundams are a symbol for peace because in each battle, they always battle for peace and will always fight for what's right. They've even gone as far as not destroying mobile suits, but disabling them even though they can get rid of them easily.
"Instead, the best thing to do would be to get rid of the regular mobile suits and weapons such as cannons and guns which are easier for terrorists to take and are the greatest threat. And if something happens as a terrorist group does appear and we have no mobile suits, we still have the Gundams, who will surely fight for the right side."
"Are you really alive? How did you survive?" the reporters ask, bombarding her with questions.
"I'm sorry I did not come out earlier, but I needed some time to rest so my injuries could heal properly. I also wanted to see how everyone would get along without me, and it seems that you are all fine and that you will not need me anymore."
"But you won the elections. The position is rightfully yours. The people want you."
"Yes. Return to your post Miss Relena. We want you back Miss Relena," the reporters say.
"If it's that important to you then, I wish to speak to you all about a compromise." Heero looks from the balcony on top and watches Relena as she approached the front.
"Good job Relena," he whispers, smiling. ***
"Excuse me? Excuse me sir?" Heero stops in his tracks and turns around to see an older man looking straight at him. "Are you Mr. Heero Yuy?"
"Yes."
"There's a package for you at the front desk from the Vice Foreign Minister. Come this way." Heero follows the old man to the desk and waits in front as he goes behind and takes out a box wrapped in silver. "Here you go sir."
Heero slowly takes off the silver wrapping covering the small box and soon reveals a white one under. He opens the top and reaches inside, pulling out a small object in tisuue paper. Upon further unwrapping, a small figurine in the shape of Angel gunam appears. He cafefully holds it in the palmof his hand and looks into the box, seeing a small piece of pink paper. Still holding the figure with the utmost care, he pulls out the paper and starts to read what had been written down in prefect cursive.
Dear Heero,
If this gets to you, it means that the people have decided to take my suggestion for me to share the responsibilities of the position with Mr. Seki. Things should hopefully be less stressful with his help and maybe I'll have the opportunity to have a life as well. I mean, I am still young.
Anyways, I hope this finds you in good health. I never got to thank you for the necklace you got me. I will never take it off. I promise.
I want to thank you too for risking your life for me once again. I think I've finally lost count there have been so many times. I'm just glad that I was able to save you once. That's one down and a whole bunch to go.
I just want you to know that even though you may not always be around, I always think about you and I hope I can see you soon. I would love it if you would just come visit me every now and then. I could even try to squeeze a little time for a lunch break or something. I would just like to see you when not related to work. You don't know how much strength you give me every day.
It looks like I've written enough for today. I hope to see you again soon. I hope you like the statue too. It's made out of some gundanium found from Angel's wreckage, so in a way, it really is her.
Your Angel of Love and Peace,
Relena
"Maybe sometime Relena," he whispers as the others pass him by. HE smiles as he puts the Gundam back in its box with the the note and walks out.
And there you go. It took long enough, but Chibi Reli finished her story. Yay! Anyways, it's not the end, so stay tuned. And thanks for all your comments.

"Huh? Mama. Papa. What's happening?" a little girl asks as her family watches tv and the battle scene suddenly appears on the screen.
"IT looks like the final battle has started already. And that looks like Vice Foreign Minister Dorlain's so called suit," the mother asks as she switches the channels, seeing the same on each one. ***
"IT's all setup Quatre," Lady Une reports.
"Good. Then just set it up so everyone could here what Relena and Heero are talking about," Quatre reports.
"Shouldn't we go help Relena? She looks like she's have some problems," Noin replies.
"We can't afford that right now. There are too many suits," Duo says.
"We have to trust her though. That Gundam of hers will take care of her. WE just gotta believe in her," Trowa says as he takes down another suit. ***
"You remember Heero don't you? Remember that time I found you on the beach and the times we danced and all the times you had come to rescue me," Relena says as she tries a swing at him herself.
"*Heero looks at the Gundam as it sways back and forth with the light reflecting off of it. "Relena. Ug!" He hopes back into his suit and closes the cockpit behind. "I'll have you next time." With those words, he flies out of the hole he made.
"Heero, please come back."*
Stop it. Just stop it."
"You heard the man," Katsumi says as she attacks Relena, ctaching her offgaurd.
"Who are you?" Relena asks as she tries to defend herself, starting the dance between them, Heero in the background.
"My name is Katsumi. A very close follower of Mr. Lee."
"Why are you following him?"
"Because of the same reason you follow One around. I would do anything for him, even die."
"HE doesn't care for you. If he did, he wouldn't make you fight. He's a empty man who is controlling people against their will to fight a war that is completely meaningless." ***
"What's going on?" one of the men on base ask as he and the others watch the fight.
"IT looks like Katsumi is fighting Miss Relena." ***
"One don't listen to a word she says," Katsumi commands as he watched the two women fight.
"Don't listen to her Heero. She's just tricking you. Believe in me," she pleads.
"Stop confusing me."
"We don't have time for this." Katsumi suddenly flies straight for Relena, smashing her arm through Angel's head. Relena's whole body jerks at the attack, coming up with one last attack as Katsumi continues to attack.
"There's no way Angel can fight after these attacks. IT looks like there's only one way to get you out of this Heero. I'm just going to have to self-destruct." She opens a flap above her head and presses the red button under it, sounding off an alarm. ***
"Relena. Don't do it," Noin screams, trying to get to her through all the suits, being unsuccessful.
"Dammit. We can't get to her," Milliardo states. ***
"This is going even better than I thought. There's no way blowing herself up is going to have One return to his normal self." ***
Katsumi takes once last punch, sending her arm straight through Angel's body. "It looks like my job here is done." She tries to take her arm out, but it won't let out. "What in the.let go of me."
"It was your decision to attack and because of that it's your decision to die."
"You're crazy! I'm just gonna have to shot my way outta here." She takes out a gun and aims it towards Relena.
"If I blow up, you blow up."
"Hnn," Katsumi growls as she tries to get free.
"I'm doing what I have to do. IN order to help free all those that have been enslaved. I just hope that this will bring you back to your sense and I hope that you will always know how much I care for you. This is my way of thanking you for everything you've done for me and I want you to know I will love you no matter who or what you do. Good bye Chuchu," Relena says, looking at Heero, tears starting down her eyes.
"Chuchu?
*"What are you doing?" he sadi in his stern voice.
"I;m trying to make you smile. I haven't seen you smile once and I'll make it my mission to make you smile." She takes the teddybear and shakes it back and forth in front of Heero's face.*
* "WE're both going to get there, right Heero?"
"Yeah. We'll both get there, no matter what."
"You promise?"
"I promise."
"Then I promise too and while we're at it, why don't we add a hot fudge sundae into that promise?"
"Sure, why not," Heero said with his voice having a bit of happiness in it. He laid back down on the floor, looked at the ceiling and then at Relena. Relena smiles back.*
Relena!" Heero starts to head towards Relena but before he knows it, Relena's Gundam is engulfed in a ball of light, spreading throughout space. "No. Relena!"
***
Everyone stops as they see the explosion from far away. "I can't believe she did that," Howard says.
"She gave up her life for us," Wufei says.
"Relena. It can't be. No. No!" Milliardo screams as he covers his face with this hands. ***
"No. Katsumi," Mr. Lee says, bowing his head trying not to shed tears. ***
"Miss Relena killed herself," another man from the base says after watching the scene unfold.
"She self-destructed in order to save the one that she loves."
"And she didn't even know if it would work."
"What are we doing here? WE should be on Miss Relena's side." Cheers are heard throughout the bases as the necklaces around their necks turn black. ***
"Heero. Are you okay?" Duo asks, suddenly remembering his former ally.
"."
"Leave him alone. HE needs some time and we gotta concentrate on not getting ourselves killed," Trowa replies.
"Hey you guys. You won't believe it. People from the different bases have taken complete control of the bases and are surrendering. Hopefully, the main base will be taken soon," Howard reports.
"At least something good will come out of Relena's sacrifice," Quatre replies. ***
"Sir. We have a problem," one man reports.
"What is it?"
"Most of the soldiers are rioting. They don't seem to be under our control any more."
"Well then do something about it!" Mr. Lee commands, standing from his desk.
"We don't know." The screen goes blank.
"You'll pay for this Peacecraft," he says, making his way out of the room. ***
"Hey. They're stopping. But why?" Lady Une questions as she watches all the suits stop. Suddenly a strange man appears on the screen.
"Attention Preventers. We the people of Miss Relena have taken control of all KioDawn bases. We are truly sorry for all the pain and deaths we may have caused and are willing to give ourselves in to be punished for our deeds. In the memory of Miss Relena who gave her life for us."
"Alright then. Let's round up the last of the troops that aren't mobile suits," Duo says, grinning.
"You guys go on ahead. I'm going to go check on Heero," Quatre says. ***
"Is the war really over?" Hilde asks.
"I think it is. Thanks of course to Relena," Lady Une reports. ***
"Heero. Are you there?" Silence. "Heero?" Silence. "It's painful isn't it? But she did it to save all of us and it worked. At least she didn't die in vain."
"Please just leave me alone Quatre," Heero says, hiding his face from view.
"Alright. But we'll be waiting for you back on NeoPeacemillion."
"Why? Why did you do that Relena?" Heero asks outloud, his body starting to shake.
"I'm glad you're you Heero," a voice says over the intercom.
"Relena?" HE suddenly sees a small falsh from away and flies towards it. He stops and sees a body floating in space. He moves close enough so the body floats towards him and catches it. "Are you alright?"
"Heero," Relena says.
"Everyone will be glad you're alive." He wraps his arms around her, keeping her standing.
"Please don't tell them. Not yet. I just want some rest now." She rests her head on his chest and falls asleep.
"Anything you want," he whispers. ***
A blond haired woman slowly walks her way down the hallway, leaning against the wall for support. A leg wrapped in bandages peaks out from her robe as do serveal other ones on her arms and chest. She comes up to a room a peers in to see a group of her friend's minus one pilot watching tv.
"Churchs, synagogues, temples, and other places all over the world are continuing to mourn the lost of Vice Foreign Minister Dorlain. She was a great woman, especially at the age of 19. Her person will be greatly missed, but as all things must go along, so is the way of life for everyone."
"And the time that everyone has waited for has arrived. The winner of the elections was none other than Vice Foreign Minister Dorlain herself. IT seems though she went against her ideals of total pacifism, people found her action justified in giving up her life for the ones that she loved. Unfortunately, though she is no longer among us, the position will go to Mr. Yamato Seki. He will be sworn into office one month from today."
"Preventer's say that all men who were forced into battle wiil not be prosecuted, but those who willing went in have been capture. The whereabouts of Mr. Lee though, the leader of the KioDawn alliance is still at large. Lady Une has posted a bounty of 25 million dollars for the arrest of this man."
"It's good to hear things are getting back to normal." She works her way down and soon sees the missing pilot looking outside at the stars. She makes her way, her reflection and his showing in the window.
"You should be in bed. You still need to rest and people may be able to see you," he says as she makes her way towards the window, leaning onit for support, a gundam shining around her neck.
"I know, but I needed to get out of that room. And I was careful." Silence covers the two.
"Why did you do it? Self-destruct like that?" he asks, looking at her for the first time in a long time.
"Because I had run out of options. I tried talking to you, but that didn't work. And then that woman appeared and the only thing I could think of doing was pushiong the button. I hoped that would make something rattle in that thick skull of yours," she replies, letting a smile appear and a small giggle.
"I'm not worth that though." HE turns his eyes back outside.
"To me you are. That's why I did all of it. I couldn't stand the thought of not having you in my life." Silence covers again. "I guess I should be heading back then." She turns around carefully and attempts to make a step, only to trip on herself. But before she lands on the ground, a strong pair of arms capture her.
"You should be more careful," he says. Relena slowly lifts her head up and looks straight into Heero's eyes. Only a few seconds seem to pass like years as Heero lowers his head towards her, capturing her in a kiss. ***
"I'm glad that you have chosen me to be your new Vice Foreign Minister and I promise to do whatever it takes to put Miss Relena's new ideals into practice," the black haired man announces on podium.
"Excuse me Vice Foreign Minister Seki, but what do you think Miss Relena would want to do with mobile suits, especially the gundams?"
"I believe Miss Relena wanted us to slowly get rid of all our weapons. I believe that she would've wanted to get rid of the Gundams first, since they are our most powerful weapons. SO by taking them away, we take a major step in disarmament."
"I think you're wrong Vice Foreign Minister Seki," a voice says from the back. Eveyrone looks back to see a blond haired woman with sunglasses starring at them. She slowly takes them off, revealing blue eyes.
"Vice Foreign Minister DOrlain?" Mr. Seki exclaims.
"Ex-Vice Foreign Minister Dorlain. And it's Peacecraft now. As for your thoughts, it may seem like a good idea at first but may not be in the long run. The Gundams are a symbol for peace because in each battle, they always battle for peace and will always fight for what's right. They've even gone as far as not destroying mobile suits, but disabling them even though they can get rid of them easily.
"Instead, the best thing to do would be to get rid of the regular mobile suits and weapons such as cannons and guns which are easier for terrorists to take and are the greatest threat. And if something happens as a terrorist group does appear and we have no mobile suits, we still have the Gundams, who will surely fight for the right side."
"Are you really alive? How did you survive?" the reporters ask, bombarding her with questions.
"I'm sorry I did not come out earlier, but I needed some time to rest so my injuries could heal properly. I also wanted to see how everyone would get along without me, and it seems that you are all fine and that you will not need me anymore."
"But you won the elections. The position is rightfully yours. The people want you."
"Yes. Return to your post Miss Relena. We want you back Miss Relena," the reporters say.
"If it's that important to you then, I wish to speak to you all about a compromise." Heero looks from the balcony on top and watches Relena as she approached the front.
"Good job Relena," he whispers, smiling. ***
"Excuse me? Excuse me sir?" Heero stops in his tracks and turns around to see an older man looking straight at him. "Are you Mr. Heero Yuy?"
"Yes."
"There's a package for you at the front desk from the Vice Foreign Minister. Come this way." Heero follows the old man to the desk and waits in front as he goes behind and takes out a box wrapped in silver. "Here you go sir."
Heero slowly takes off the silver wrapping covering the small box and soon reveals a white one under. He opens the top and reaches inside, pulling out a small object in tisuue paper. Upon further unwrapping, a small figurine in the shape of Angel gunam appears. He cafefully holds it in the palmof his hand and looks into the box, seeing a small piece of pink paper. Still holding the figure with the utmost care, he pulls out the paper and starts to read what had been written down in prefect cursive.
Dear Heero,
If this gets to you, it means that the people have decided to take my suggestion for me to share the responsibilities of the position with Mr. Seki. Things should hopefully be less stressful with his help and maybe I'll have the opportunity to have a life as well. I mean, I am still young.
Anyways, I hope this finds you in good health. I never got to thank you for the necklace you got me. I will never take it off. I promise.
I want to thank you too for risking your life for me once again. I think I've finally lost count there have been so many times. I'm just glad that I was able to save you once. That's one down and a whole bunch to go.
I just want you to know that even though you may not always be around, I always think about you and I hope I can see you soon. I would love it if you would just come visit me every now and then. I could even try to squeeze a little time for a lunch break or something. I would just like to see you when not related to work. You don't know how much strength you give me every day.
It looks like I've written enough for today. I hope to see you again soon. I hope you like the statue too. It's made out of some gundanium found from Angel's wreckage, so in a way, it really is her.
Your Angel of Love and Peace,
Relena
"Maybe sometime Relena," he whispers as the others pass him by. HE smiles as he puts the Gundam back in its box with the the note and walks out.
And there you go. It took long enough, but Chibi Reli finished her story. Yay! Anyways, it's not the end, so stay tuned. And thanks for all your comments.
