Chapter 9
Chaos
"Hey, Kira, know this guy?" came Heero's voice through the com.
"Yeah, he's dead...or was anyway." Kira responded.
"That's what happened...I died, and now I have returned to take the same thing you took from me!" The Chaos Gundam was behind the Freedom in an instant, Kira didn't see the blow, but he sure as hell felt it. The Freedom plummeted, only to be met with another crushing hit, coming from underneath. It was the Chaos Again, and Kira realized, for the first time, that he was doing to die. "NO" he screamed. "I refuse to go down this easily!"
The Freedom moved away, and the Chaos gave chase. Kira disappeared out of the Rift, and darted in again, coming up directly behind the Chaos. He brought his sword down hard, and the Chaos barely sidestepped, losing a piece of its outer armor in the process, but responded with another crushing blow to the Freedom's head. "Kira!" Screamed Kiro, and was about to go to his aid, when Heero stepped in.
"Not so fast, if you're gonna help my enemy, you're gonna have to get through me first." He said.
"Can't you see that doesn't matter anymore? He's dying, and we've gotta help him."
"Well, the mission always comes first, and I'm goddamn selfish anyway, so your death goes first, then the winner helps Kira...if either of us get that far."
"So pointless." Kiro muttered, and quickly moved in on Heero.
"What the hell are those two doing?" Said Athrun, shaking his head. "Don't ask me," said Dearka, "I just think they're both totally insane. One's Skitsophernic and the other has no emotions...well great odds for Kira."
Athrun gazed at the screen, and felt helpless knowing that his friend was dying and there was no chance to save him.
