Author's Notes: Okay, I've all ready mentioned how much I loath the new song fic rule. But I don't see the problem if we just use a verse, and give credit to the artist. I've done that from the begging. It's just like using a quote by someone else, yet we can do that. Ahem I apologize. Rant over. Anyway: now that's mentioned, the this chapter along with the next one (which is the last) are based off of two Simple Plan songs that I love. If you haven't heard of those guys, I seriously recommend them. Warning: character death ahead, along with shortness.

"…How could this happen to me?

I've made my mistakes

I've got no where to run

The night goes on

As I'm fading away

I'm sick of this life

I just wanna scream

How could this happen to me…"

Chapter Eight: Untitled:

It was if it was all happening in slow motion. Duo saw the bean come straight toward him, but it didn't hit him. Instead, Heero through his Gundam in front of his friend's, sparing his life, but sacrificing his.

"HEERO!" Duo cried. "YOU BAKA! WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?"

Heero could feel his life slipping away from him. He smiled to himself at a job well done. He used the rest of his strength to utter these words to his friend: "Remember Duo, love is always worth fighting for..." And with that, Heero's communicator went silent.

Duo could not control the rage that was over coming him. He could hear The Leader laughing. "One down." He said.

It was here, Duo snapped. Heero had just lost his life because of him, he wasn't about to let the enemy get away with it. Without a warning to the DOVE Federation, Duo once again raised his scythe, and tore it to shreds.

"DUO! YOU HAVE TO GET OUT THERE! IT'S GOING TO BLOW!" cried Quatre.

"NO! NOT TILL ALL OF IT'S DESTROYED!" Duo yelled, continuing to slash away the metal.

"NO! WHAT ABOUT LYNN!" cried Trowa.

Duo suddenly stopped and flew back a few feet. He looked at the ship. It was now a pile of shards, floating in space. The Gundams flew back just before the rest of the remains exploded.

"What... What have I done...?" Duo asked as he began to sob uncontroably.

All the while, Lynn had watched the whole thing. She couldn't believe it. Duo was a Gundam Pilot, and a killer... She had never seen him act that way before. Until now, she didn't think her fiancé' had a violent bone in his body.

"This is what he didn't want me to know." said Lynn to herself.

Wufei heard her. "I would say something if I were you..."

"Right. How do you work this thing?" asked Lynn.

"I've got it." Wufei replied.

Lynn watched as the Gundam pilot pushed a few buttons, then a screen came on. Duo came into focus. She reached up and touched the screen. "Duo..."

Duo looked around him. He had finally lost it. Lynn was gone, now he was hearing her voice. Then again, that wasn't the first time a dead loved one had come to talk to him. "Duo!"

This time Duo looked up and saw the screen. He smiled. He couldn't believe it! "Lynn!" he cried out happily.

Quatre and Trowa was also tied into his communicator. "She's okay!" Quatre said happily.

"How...?" asked Duo.

"Your friend rescued me." Lynn answered.

"Hello Maxwell."

"Wufles!" Duo just couldn't contain himself.

Lynn looked confused. "Wufles?" she asked, turning to Wufei.

"Never mind." he replied.

"Lynn, are you all right?" Duo asked.

"I'm fine." she assured. "I'm just shaken up, that's all."

"We better get you to a safer area." Duo said.

"We need to report back with Dr. Jay." said Wufei.

"What about Heero?" Trowa asked.

"We'll bring him with us." answered Quatre. "Help me Trowa."

Duo watched as Trowa and Quatre got on opposite sides of Heero's Gundam. Duo got in front of them, as Wufei took the rear, and the pilots slowly made it back to the secret location of Dr. Jay's. Once they returned, Quatre and Trowa were careful when it came to Heero's Gundam. After they were all in, they exited their Gundams. Wufei helped Lynn climb down.

As Lynn's feet reached the ground, so did Duo's. Tears formed in her eyes, she was so happy to see him, alive and well. She ran into his arms. Duo wasn't hesitant, he embraced her tightly. Then his eyes traveled towards Quatre, Trowa, and Wufei. They were carefully removing Heero's body from Wing Zero.

Duo slipped out of Lynn's arms to help his friends. Heero's body was heavy in their hands. They gently laid him down.

Lynn walked up behind Duo to see the fallen solider. She gasped. It was the same young man who was at the apartment. Then, he was alive, and well... Now... He wasn't.

"What happened?" asked Dr. Jay as he and the others arrived.

"Heero's dead." Duo answered him quietly.

"Excuse me?" Dr. Jay asked, hearing very well what Duo had said.

"HE'S DEAD!" screamed Duo. "There, do you hear me now!"

"That's impossible!" Dr. Jay replied. "He's the perfect solider. Heero Yuy is invincible!"

Duo couldn't take the good Doctor any long. He charged at him, and then pinned him to the floor, and began to beat the shit out of him. "HE'S NOT INVINCABLE! HE'S JUST A MAN! HE COULD HAVE A NORMAL LIFE IF YOU BASTARDS HADN'T GOT AHOLD OF HIM FIRST! HE WOULD STILL BE ALIVE!"

"DUO!" cried Quatre and Trowa, going to their friend, and pulling him away from Dr. Jay.

The other scientist helped their collage up. Dr. Jay pushed them away, then he composed himself. He wiped the blood that was starting to flow from his nose. "If we had not got a hold of him, he would have died in the streets! You should be greatful for us finding him!"

Duo would have charged at the Doctor again if it hadn't been for Quatre and Trowa. The two were trying their best to hold him back. The Doctor just laughed at Duo. "Besides, there is nothing you can do to bring him back or to stop us. One pilot is gone, there's always another nameless solider we can find, those words ring a bell?"

Once again, rage over took him. He managed to push Trowa and Quatre away and he withdrew his gun and aimed it at the doctor. Dr. Jay laughed again. "What are you going to do? Kill me? You don't have the guts."

Lynn froze in horror. She didn't know what to do. She knew Duo needed help, but she was worried on what he might do. Lynn stepped back away, for the first time, she was scared of him.

"Kill me. Those are your words, not mine. Remember that."

Lynn covered her ears as Duo pulled the trigger of his gun. He didn't stop until the Doctor and the other scientist were dead at his feet. The bullets were soon gone, but Duo still continued to pull the trigger.

Click. Click. Click...

Quatre walked up to his friend, and slowly pulled the gun away from him. "Stop... It's over."

Duo turned to Lynn. He could see the fear in her eyes. He went to approach her, but she stepped away. Duo was begging to lose it. He wished that he would have saved one bullet so he could use it on himself. He felt dizzy, all of this was just too much to bear.

"Duo?" Wufei asked, seeing that something was wrong with his friend.

The God of Death didn't answer him. Instead, he collapsed to the floor. Trowa went to Lynn's side while Quatre went to check on Duo. "He's all right. He just fainted."

"First, we get rid of their bodies..." said Wufei, eyeing the scientist on the floor. "Then we'll take care of Heero."

"How?" Quatre asked.

"We'll bury him on earth, beside Relena. That is what he probably would have wanted."

TBC...

Author's Notes: (continued): I know, I know, I said I wouldn't kill off the main pilots but I couldn't help it. It added to the story! And no, it's not because I hate Heero. I like him very much. And if you read the story, you knew death was what he wanted all along. Sorry for the shortness. Hopefully, the finale chapter will be longer.
