The occupants of the dining hall could not believe their eyes. Their friend, Duo, the most lovable person that anyone would fall in love with, who proclaimed himself the legendary god of Death; was indeed the real Shinigami. It was a long time coming. Throughout their time together the pilots caught glimpses of Duo's altered persona, but no one in their right mind would have guessed that that being would be in full command. Damn, you Relena.
Dark violet eyes searched the hall. Shinigami's gaze fell upon Lady Une and started toward her, but he didn't get far as Heero sidestepped into his path.
"TREIZE, GET UNE OUT OF HERE NOW!!!" Heero yelled over his shoulder. With no questions asked the General promptly left with the Lady.
Feeling the amount of power that Shinigami was giving off Quatre almost fainted, if his partner was not by his side to hold him up he would have surely fell to the floor.
"Quatre, are you alright?" Trowa asked, he too could feel the immense power radiating off of Duo.
"Yes, I'm fine. Duo, he feels like Nemesis but stronger" The blonde replied.
"Okay! Can someone please tell us what the Hell is going on?" Zechs demanded, but before anyone could respond Shinigami's gaze was turned onto his source of anger.
Relena was suddenly thrown roughly against a wall. She slid down to the floor and lay there unconscious. Noin inched her way over to the fallen princess.
"CAREFUL EVERYONE! HE'S TELEKENETIC!" Heero shouted.
"Nemesis, can't you do something?" Quatre pleaded. Shinigami's power was beginning to crush him. Nemesis stood her full height with her arms stretch out in a protective poise.
"Heero, whatever you do, do not touch him" She warned the Wing pilot.
"I am well aware of what can happen." He answered.
"Shini, we need you to calm down. You know what could happen if you do not?" Nemesis started, hoping that the enraged god of Death will listen.
Shinigami's power surge was lowering a bit as well as his wings.
"You know Nemesis? I could never deny you or Odin of any thing."
"I know that Shini and I also know what you are capable of; and right now you are in no frame of mind to think clearly. Let us talk with Duo and see if we can get Odin---"
"NO! I'm in full control and I will be at my maximum! I will find Odin once I've gained the rest of my powers, and once I have them I will back for Catrina!"
Heero couldn't believe were the conversation was going. "Nemesis" he whispered, but before he could act Shini ran toward the clear story window. Glass shattered every where. The wind calmly filled the hall. Nemesis was about the give chase when Heero grabbed her by the arm.
"Let go of me, Yuy!"
"Not until you tell me what is going on with Duo?"
With a muttered curse in her native tongue, Nemesis accepted her fate. She took a sit back the table and crossed her long slender legs on the top. Heero and the others eyed her with caution.
"Right now the city is in danger" She stated as matter of fact.
"Explain?"
"Imagine what will happen if Death was set loose upon the world with no sense of control or balance?"
"What I wanna know is why he was going after Une?" Zechs interrupted before they could get the full story from the Amazon.
"And what was he searching for?" WuFei asked.
"He was searching for an innocent." Nemesis answered.
"Why?" Heero demanded.
"Shini needs the blood of an innocent to gain the rest of is power, seeing that he was killed by an interloper."
"But was does that have to do with anything?" Quatre asked.
"Even though Shinigami is Death, he is pure of heart. It's not in his nature to be mean to anyone unless they hurt him or the one that he loves. When he gets his hands on the required substance, he's coming back to finish what he started." All eyes locked on the prone form of Relena.
"There has to be some other way that we can stop him?" Noin said.
"Without his mate to kept him in check we are putting ourselves and the pause entire city in danger." Nemesis said as she glared at Heero.
"O.M.G! You're saying that---that" Quatre choked out faintly.
"I'm saying that without his other half, Shini will cause more havoc and chaos than this whole bloody war. As long as his wings are unfurled he's dangerous."
"So all we need to do is find Duo's other half?" Quatre asked.
"Listen for a moment. Let's say we find this person. How is she supposed to get close enough to Duo? You heard Nemesis, one touch and we're good as dead." WuFei declared.
All eyes stared at each other. Quatre knew that Nemesis was holding back on something. "Who *can* touch Duo?"
"Shinigami is Duo's dormant self, well was until a few moments ago. Shini only awakens when Duo is highly irate and even then that is only for a brief period of time. Also, Shini is Duo's immortal self.
There are three types of beings who can actually touch him in this form and survive. The first being is a full deity. The second is a demi-god, and the third would be Shinigami's life mate and that person would have to meet one of the first two requirements." Nemesis explained.
"Great! So, now we have to search for a god?" WuFei howled.
"Wait!" Heero suddenly turned around. "Shini was dormant, just laying in wake until he was released. What if the same is true about his other half?"
"But Heero, say we do find her? How are we supposed to get her dormant self or her immortal self released?" Quatre said.
"Maybe the same way that Shini was?" Heero paused for a moment.
{Death and War has joined once again--- Heero, once you figure out what that missing piece is your life as well as Duo's will be as it should---}
Heero looked directly at Nemesis. "Duo's mate isn't a she." Nemesis silver- blues danced with pleasure.
::You figured it out:: Her all knowing smirk played across her lips. Heero nodded his response to her.
"Heero why wouldn't Duo's mate be a 'she'?" Quatre asked with curiosity twinkling in his aquamarine eyes.
Prussian blue orbs held the blonde's gaze and simply stated, "Because Duo's life mate is me."
+++++++++++++++++++
The lone majestic figured graced the halls of the New Port City Memorial hospital. No one knew who it was, but many guess that this person was up to no good. They had never seen any one with a rich flowing golden-brown braid and enormous raven wings. The person's style of dress seemed to be a little out dated, more like the third century bc.
His footsteps were soundless. A pin drop could be heard in the hall silent halls of the hospital. The shuffling of boots sounded off from the direction of the elevators. Security guards were called in, as the black clad person was about to enter a private room.
The figure looked at the name on the door 'Caryn R. Weiss'
As he turned the handle he heard, "HALT!"
The person stopped and turned around in one fluid motion as if he was floating on air.
"Okay, buddy! Just put your hands up and come quietly with us." One of the guards warned.
"No, I don't think so."
"Don't make us use unnecessary force on you pal."
"Now is not your time Allen."
The look the man gave unnerved him a bit. "H-how do you know my name."
"I know all of your names, now if you will excuse me I need to tend to the young lady in this room." The stranger went on but was stopped again.
"Sorry, friend. I'm afraid that I can't let you do that Miss Weiss is very sick and I won't let you hurt her."
The man turned back around dark violet eyes blazing with anger. "You and your men have no idea who you are deal with. I'm giving you fair warning now gentlemen. Leave me be to go about my business, or end up as a heap of quivering flesh on the floor?"
"I don't think so." Allen's decision already made clear.
"Very well then."
The massive winds spreaded wide and slender arms stretched forth. A florescent purple draped around the man and his eyes glowed a deathly violet. His hair was blowing by and unseen wind. The security guards took an unsteady step back.
They felt the floor trembling slightly underneath the rubber sole of their boots. As they gazed upon the being they saw electricity dancing around his lithe form. No words could describe the creature in front of them.
He looked a like a god of some kind or a sensual angel that came to tempt them all but whoever his was they somehow managed to piss him off.
"Say good-bye." That was all that his said. All of the guards went sailing throw the air down the hall. The nurses hid behind their workstation counter. None of the guards move after that.
The room was dark and quiet. The heart monitor bleep every few seconds to alert a visitor that the patient was still alive but barely holding on. The person's breathing was slow and swallow as if the oxygen was not working properly to supply the adequate amount to survive.
The dark figure made his way to the frail body. Shinigami quickly set about doing what was necessary for him to gain the rest of his powers.
He sliced he palm and grabbed hold of her bleeding hand. A hot white- purplish light erupted from the hold but he held on as fog began seeping from under the bed. Slowly it covered the floor of the room and escaped under the thin crack of the door.
He dropped to one knee releasing the hand of the quiet girl. The heart monitor was now a steady blat line bleep. Shouts could be heard on the other side of the door as they tried to force their way in.
+++++++++++++++++++
Everyone just stared at the Wing Zero pilot. He was Duo's mate but seeing how they fit together it made sense. Quatre was the first to come out of being shocked.
"Question, How would you have chased after Duo when he flew threw the window Nemesis?"
"That doesn't matter. What's important that I could have stopped him."
"What do you mean could have?" WuFei said, not liking the sound of that statement.
"Once Shini gets what he wants I will be powerless against him."
The Perfect soldier dropped to one knee and silently cried out in pain. A blue florescent glow surrounded his body.
"Heero, what's wrong?" Quatre cried out, as he made his way toward is friend. As suddenly as the pain began it stopped. Heero stood looking strangely at the others. "I-I don't know." It felt like his skin was on fire.
Nemesis slowly rose from her chair heading toward the broken window. She didn't get very far when she heard that all to familiar sound, the hammer being pulled on Heero's gun.
"Alright Nemesis! Tell me what the Hell just happened?"
She turned around and looked into flaming cobalt orbs. "Your transformation has begun."
+++++++++++++++++++
Shinigami looked off in the distance of a white void. No longer did he stand in the hospital room. He saw spirits of people floating off to their destination of Judgement and Rest. One in particular waved with a bright smile whispering 'thank you' and she disappeared into a soft glowing oval portal.
Another figured appeared by his side. "I was wondering when I was going to see you again?"
"Duo has been keeping me under lock and key." He said.
"Well, dear you are Duo." His companion flashed him a bright cheery smile.
"So, I've been told."
"Now, that you're back my job will be a little easier now."
"Just don't expect to much from me okay. Besides, most of my time will be occupied by Heero." His memories merged into one when he received his powers.
"Which reminds me, when are you going to give me---"
He held his hand up to silence his companion. "Please not now. We just found each other and I plan on keeping him to myself for as long as I can."
"Fine." His companion huffed. "The gods gave you a rare gift---"
"Alright! I'll talk to him about it. Anyway, I have to get goin' I have some unfinished business with a certain blonde. It was good seeing you again."
"Shini, please don't do anything that you will regret."
"Celeste, Catrina killed me and Odin and not to mention my unborn child. How in the heck do you expect me to handle this?"
"Nemesis made sure that she would never come between you and Odin again. And right now you have other things that you need to worry about besides her."
"Yeah, like what?"
"This war. If you and the others don't put a stop to this, this world and other planets will cease to exist."
"What are you saying?"
"I'm saying that this military group known as Oz will cause the destruction of the entire universe if they are not stopped."
"Odin is yet to be released"
"Even so, you still need the other three as well as Nemesis to stop this madness. Time is of the essences. Nemesis is trying to keep all of your friends under check now, but I'm afraid that even as great as her strength is she will not last long if the others gain their power. Now, go."
He embraced his companion pulling away to briefly look into mirror violets.
"Take care my son" Then he vanished from sight.
