Somewhere between heaven and hell
Ch 6 –Revolutions-
Trowa clutched the heavy blade in his hands, his knuckles turning white and his jaw clenching. The demon lord Duo took a few steps into the large atrium, his long black coat floating around his ankles, and the pitch black sword not any higher up than his knee.
"So Angel, are we ready to finish this?"
Trowa glared at Duo, "I am ready for this, and I am ready to set all the innocent demons free."
Duo laughed, his dark voice echoing through the cavern. "You can't do anything about that. Plus, even if you do manage to kill me there is an army of demons waiting at the door to heaven ready to start a war that you caused."
Trowa's eyes raised in surprise, his whole body seemed to shake. "What do you mean?"
"Well, we all know the rules between heaven and hell, and since you so intended to fight me, I took it as a direct threat and waged war against heaven."
Trowa was speechless. 'What a stupid mistake! How could I forget that rule!' Trowa mentally chastised himself. Duo laughed at his silence.
"You see Angel, your intentions may have been for the good, but overall you caused an entire kingdom to fall."
Trowa looked at Duo in the face. "No one has lost yet, Demon Lord."

Quatre stood in front of the gates of heaven, his white robes pooling around his feet and his large staff in his right hand. Zechs stood to his left holding a large Godsteel sword. Behind the two an entire army of angels carrying swords and spears all made from the holy steel. Quatre frowned as he heard the many screeches and yells coming from the other side of the gates.
"To not fear my angel followers, for if you should die, another life awaits you. For you fought for the savor of heaven. May you not fear death, for you have felt it once already." Quatre shouted to the many soldier of heaven.
The angels with spears each pounded the base of the weapon against the ground creating a large rumble of a strange melody. The demons outside the gates howled and scratched against the large golden doors.
"May we see what the almighty Duo has brought us." Quatre beat his staff three times against the hard surface. They echoed against the doors, which in mere minutes opened. The second the demons began reaching their death ridden claws through the opening, every angel opened their wings and flew past their Lord swords bared. Quatre smiled and tipped his staff forward creating a blinding light engulfing the demons and the angels fighting them.
---------
Trowa was the first one to strike at the demon lord. Coming straight down on his head, Trowa was blocked by Duo's large sword. Trowa gritted his teeth in anger, as Duo was not even phased by the closeness of the Godsteel sword.
"Foolish angel. Did you forget that I have been in contact with your precious metal for over 400 years? It no longer affects me anymore."
Trowa growled and lunged again for another attack. "It doesn't matter that it doesn't affect you being near it. It will still do the same damage after I stick it through your gut!"
---------
Zechs pulled the sword out from the throat of an anonymous demon and swung around quickly chopping of the arm of the proceeding threat.
"Lord Quatre!" Zechs yelled as he quickly flew over to where Quatre stood bowed over a fallen angel. Zechs stabbed the demon through the heart before he could lower his jagged blade on Quatre. "Lord Quatre," Zechs panted. "Please sire, be more careful."
Quatre said a small prayer over the angels' eyes and stood up right and turned to Zechs. "I know, but every fallen comrade must be given the proper ceremonies. I promised." He pointed his staff behind Zechs and shot out a large ball of light disincarnating the demon behind him. "Besides I feel this war is about over." Quatre closed his eyes and closed his hand leaving two fingers up right and made a crucifix in front of his face. "It all ends now." Zechs bowed and backed up bowing at Quatre's feet.
---------
Heero covered his eyes from the blinding lightning raining down from the skies.
"Heaven must be winning, for that looks like holy light." Heero smiled. "Duo will not be pleased." Heero turned and looked at the huge black doors behind him. I don't know why I am waiting out here. I should be in there helping Trowa." With that final thought, Heero turned on heel and ran inside the large black structure.
-------
"This is your last moments Angel, give up before you die!" Duo yelled as he lashed out at Trowa's right wing.
"I will do no such thing! Not while the world is in danger!" Trowa responded swinging his blade horizontally at Duo's waist.
"Well then I shall just have to end this all myself." With one quick movement Duo lashed out and smacked Trowa across the face with his hand knocking Trowa senseless just for a few seconds to where Duo now stood behind Trowa with his black sword against Trowa's throat. "Looks like your luck has run out angel." Duo sneered twisting the blade slightly causing Trowa to gasp and a small trail of blood to make its way down his throat.
"This wont be over until I breathe my last breath."
Duo smiled an acid grin. "I can make this your last breath."
"No! Stop!" Heero yelled as he made his way through the doors and into the hall. "I wont let you kill him!"
Duo laughed still holding the blade to Trowa's neck. "There is nothing you can do about it. You probably can't even come over here with all the Godsteel surrounding us."
Heero tightened the muscles in his jaw and looked into Trowa's eyes. He saw something…apology? Heero's eyes widened as he saw Trowa raise the sword in his hand. "No…." Trowa smiled.
"I'm sorry Duo it ends now." Trowa lifted the sword and plunged it through both his body and Duo's behind him.
"No!" Heero shouted as he began to run towards Trowa and Duo.
Duo screamed in pain as the Godsteel burned his flesh and pierced through his skin. Trowa pulled the sword from both their bodies and slumped over using the sword as a cane to support himself. Duo laughed, his voice raspy.
"Now what angel…so now we both die, what now?"
Trowa gave a small laugh. "But now, Heero's free, and that's what matters." Trowa fell forward dropping the sword. Duo growled coughing up blood. His eyes rolled into the back of his head and he fell backwards limp, and dead. Heero ran to Trowa and dropped to his knees tears welling up in his eyes.
"No, Trowa! You have to make it. You can't leave me like this!" Heero cried clutching Trowa's dieing body.
Trowa closed his eyes and smiled. "I would never leave you Heero," A slight pause for Trowa to let out a harsh cough. "But one thing before I go," He looked over to where Duo's sword lay motionless. "Find your soul Heero, I want to see you in white." Heero set Trowa down gently and walked over to the black sword. He reached his hand inside and his face relaxed.
"It is so warm…I haven't felt this warm in centuries." A blinding light engulfed Heero. The black leather on his wings peeled away, his red eyes washed out leaving a bright blue. The light bleached his robes leaving them a glowing white. Heero walked out of the light and looked over to Trowa. "I…I'm an angel again."
Trowa smiled. "Beautiful, just like I imagined." Heero felt the tears making tracks down his face. He ran back over to Trowa and scooped him up in his arms.
"You can't leave me…"
Trowa coughed, "I am not going to leave you. I'll always be with you." Trowa looked up into Heero's eyes. "You have beautiful blue eyes, I will remember them forever." Trowa closed his eyes and fell limp in Heero's arms. Heero's eyes widened.
"Trowa!!" he shook the limp body. "Trowa! No! Come back to me!" Heero leaned forward and rested his head on Trowa's chest. back…" he cried into Trowa's tunic.
"Heero…" A soft voice came from the entryway. Heero looked up to see Quatre standing there with Zechs behind him to the right.
"Quatre…you have to save him!! Bring him back! Please, I beg you!" Heero pleaded
Quatre closed his eyes and lowered his head. "I cannot."
Heero looked shocked. "What do you mean you can't! You're God! You control everything!"
Quatre looked up at Heero. "I cannot bring him back in this life. Even that goes against everything in life. The only thing I can do is incarnate him in another life."
Heero looked up at Quatre as he walked near. "Will I still recognize him? Will he know me?"
Quatre kneeled down to look Heero in the face. He smiled a gentle, warm smile. "It will be like him living his life all over again. He will look the same, act the same, and even die the same, just in a different life, and different surroundings."
Heero's eyes widened. "So when he grows old and dies, we can be together again in heaven?"
Quatre smiled and placed his hand over Trowa's eyes. "Yes."

A small boy, of 5 or 6 with chestnut brown hair and bright green eyes came running up the stairs of his house and bolted in through the door laughing and breathing heavy. The small child opened his eyes and bit back a squeal of fright.
"W-Who are you?"
The man in the corner walked out from the shadows and into the light. "You can call me Heero, Trowa."
Trowa's eyes widened at the sight of Heero.
"You're and angel!" Trowa ran up to Heero and looked up to him. "Are you my guardian angel?"
Heero smiled and crouched down to Trowa's level. "Yes, and I will be here everyday of your life watching over you until the day you die." He leaned forward and placed a small kiss on the child's forehead.

In the darkness of the dingy castle a figure walked silently dragging a sword in one hand. "Lord Duo, you failed us." The figure reached forward and grabbed the black sword out of his hand. Duo's dead figure turned to dust and blew away in a sudden gust of wind that blew the strangers hair out of its ponytail, making the shoulder length black locks float freely around his face.
"From now on, I am Wufei. The God of Death once again."
A dark laugh echoed throughout the castle walls leaving the figure crouched on the floor shrouded in darkness.
