Back to Duo and Mako
Mako eyed the inside of Deathscythe's cockpit with interest.
"This is awesome babe." Mako commented.
Duo grinned. "Yeah my old buddy here has never let me down." Mako came up behind Duo and wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him small kisses down his neck. Duo closed his eyes smiling blissfully. "Can you steer with me on your lap?" Mako asked.
Duo shook himself out of his reverie. "Well, not really demo."
Mako scowled. "My love, you're not wrecking a good Gundam because of me!"
Duo pouted. "Nani? No cuddle time?" Mako felt her fortifications collapsing rapidly. "Babe, I'll make it up to you later I promise." Duo admitted defeat and sat at the controls while Mako managed to sandwich herself in. Deathscythe flew off in the direction that Miliardo had flown.
"There he is!" Mako pointed and Duo nodded to show he saw Miliardo and Treiz to.
"I think I can cut him off with my scythe." Duo mumbled. Before Duo got the chance, a ball of fire engulfed Milliardo's gundam.
"What was that?" Mako said shocked.
"Wing Zero?" Duo gasped open-mouthed. Heero had gotten to the two first.
"Where's he going?" Mako scrunched her forehead.
"Probably jetting now that his mission is done." Duo scoffed. They dismounted out of the cockpit and Mako spotted a body lying on the ground. It was Treiz and he was dead. The force of the explosion had killed him. Mako swiveled around when she heard the telltale signs of fire. A wayward missile had hit the main part of the base. "LEXI!" Mako screeched and bolted towards the direction of the building.
"Mako matte!" Duo set up after her. Mako battled her way through the crumbling building. She strained her ears to hear sounds of a baby. She heard crying about three doors down. "I'm coming Lexi hang on!" The floor was beginning to melt. The smoke had become thick and black and Mako was coughing. She felt her eyes burn, but was determined to save her child. The door containing Lexi was locked.
Mako gritted her teeth and threw all her weight upon it. Luckily it budged. Lexi was wailing. "It's okay little one, I've got you." Mako picked up Lexi holding her tightly to her breast and sprinted. It looked like Mako had a clear shot at freedom, until a flaming beam blocked her. She fumbled for her gun. She must have dropped it in her dash for the building! "Oh Lexi I'm so sorry." Mako held the screaming child close to her. "Need a hand?" A friendly loving voice echoed through the hall. Mako peered up. "Babe! You followed. Oh I love you!" Duo smiled and managed to knock the beam out of the way. "I love you to baby. Let's get out of here." The trio ran as the entire building was engulfed. They found the entrance and came out coughing and with soot and ash covering their faces.
"We did it, thank to you babe." Duo smiled. "I'd do absolutely anything for you." Duo pulled Mako into his arms and they shared a long awaited and very passionate kiss. The firefighters finished putting out the blaze and treated Duo, Mako, and Lexi for smoke inhalation. Lexi was also taken to the hospital to be treated for minor burns.
Mako was thankful it had been nothing worse. The fighting finally ceased soon after the fire had been put out. Usagi and Trowa emerged; Usagi had Quatre's body in tow. She knew how distraught his father would be about his only son's death. Duo looped his arm around Mako, and Mako leaned into him, holding onto his waist.
"She loved him," She whispered to herself.
"Who loved who?" Duo asked having caught what Mako had said.
"Usagi-chan loved Quatre-san." Mako responded as she watched Usagi stand woefully as a sheet was draped over Quatre's body.
"I know he loved her. I just always knew." Duo said sadly. Mako nodded as the two held each other tightly. Trowa emerged some hours later still trying to engage Usagi in conversation, which she refused. WuFei and Heero had also been at the battle as well, but had left eons ago. Duo and Mako followed the ambulance to the hospital where Lexi was being treated for her burns. Mako watched through the glass as the tiny infant slept. She was worried. What would she do now the Lexi's adoptive parents were dead? Duo came up from behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. "What's wrong babe, you look so worried." She held his hands.
"Lexi's parents are dead. What do I do now? Find her another pair?"
Duo smiled and rested his head on top of hers. "Baby have you ever considered raising her yourself?"
She turned around. "Hai, but are you okay with that?" He smiled and nodded.
"The past is the past love. I know you love her, and I could to." She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a loving kiss.
