Tolle- Goodbye
Tolle Koenig considered himself lucky.
He had good friends like Ssigh, Kuzzey and Kira.
He had a wonderful girlfriend, who was caring and kind.
He still remembered their kiss under the tree.
Tolle could call this fantasy,
But it was still reality in every way.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heliopolis was every neutral's people dream.
There, everybody was friends.
Coordinator or Natural.
No one cared, because all were friends.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was just like any normal day.
They went to study, hangout.
He even got the honor of practically scaring Kira.
That was when they found out that the war was reaching a climax.
Worried as he was,
He would not give Miriallia the worry of his fear.
They made their way to the Morgenroete factory,
And there they met a mysterious stranger.
He later then snuck up on Kira and choked him.
Suddenly, the lights went out.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They sped to the nearest shelter,
After realizing that ZAFT was attacking.
But all the shelters seemed to be full.
As they ran outside, they saw two Gundams fighting.
And narrowly missed getting squashed under the Strike's leg.
When they came onboard the Archangel, they realized that Kira was a Coordinator.
He watched with shock as the soldiers aimed theirs their guns at Kira.
Kira may be a Coordinator, but he isn't the enemy! He's our friend!
He just saved your lives, and this is how you thank him?
He watched as Kira then soon joined to fight on the side of the EAF.
Suddenly, Tolle realized they had taken advantage of Kira;
Why was he doing his very best to help them,
When they were, in actual fact, not doing anything to help him at all?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He requested the captain to take them in and let them be part of the crew.
They all saw Kira's look of surprise as he saw them donning EA uniforms,
And helping out the crew.
In Archangel, they watched fearfully as the 4 other stolen MS cornering Kira,
Placing him at a disadvantage.
The Strike's phase shift armor was down.
They watched in shock as the Aegis clamped on the Strike to bring him back to the ZAFT forces.
And breathed a sigh of relief as Mwu saved Kira in his Moebius Zero.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later, as they landed on Artemis,
They look on with shock as the people pointed guns at them.
And he could only watch angrily when the people forced Kira to unlocked the OS.
But when the Blitz gundam attacked, Tolle could not help but,
Feel grateful to ZAFT for once.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later, after they were within a safe distance,
He made Fllay apologise to Kira.
He later then watched with shock at victims of Junius Seven.
He found the Coordinator Lacus Clyne interesting,
For she was kind and caring like Kira.
And made the effort to make friends, not caring if they were Naturals or not.
He then watched Kira help Lacus return to ZAFT,
Although it was against many of the military regulations.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When they later meet up with the 8th fleet,
They thought they could go home.
And were happy to know that their family was safe.
But later, Tolle decided to stay.
Because he realized he could not always rely on Kira.
He would stay,
To fight,
To protect,
His family, his friends,
And most importantly,
The person he cared for deeply…
And he made his choice.
Tearing up his discharge sheet,
He followed his friends,
And his heart.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later, they realized that instead of landing at Alaska.
They had landed on the ZAFT controlled area of North Africa.
And they couldn't help but remember that Kira was a Coordinator.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A short time later, he decided to try out the new Sky grasper.
When after they drifted near the Red Sea,
Tolle confessed that this was his first time seeing the sea,
For he had lived on Heliopolis in his entire life.
He chided Miriallia gently when she deliberately scared Kuzzey.
They watched later as Orb threatended to shoot them down even though Archangel was under Orb.
And there they found out that the daughter of Uzumi Nara Athha,
Cagalli Yula Athha,
Was actually onboard the Archangel.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They were later reunited with their parents,
And had a long chat with them.
But never did Tolle expect,
This would be his very last time seeing his parents.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They stayed a little longer in Orb.
And he told Kira that he could pilot the Sky grasper.
He knew he couldn't rely on Kira all the time,
And he badly wanted to help.
Despite knowing very clearly that,
Death could claim him anytime it wished.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He took part in his very first battle alongside the Hawk of Endymion.
Taking the Skygrasper with the Sword pack.
He dodged attack after attack.
And helped Kira attacked the Blitz.
And he watched as Kira destroyed the Blitz.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Strike was being attacked,
By Aegis.
By his best friend.
Kira's best friend.
But wasn't he,
Tolle,
Kira's friend too?
So he launched.
Milly's last greetings.
His friend's warning.
Too late.
Death claimed him fast.
So what if he managed to draw Aegis away from the Strike.
The Aegis threw its shield.
It flew towards him.
He could only stare in shock.
He never got to see Kira's look of horror,
Milly's unbelieving eyes,
Ssigh's shocked look,
Kuzzey's silent yell,
As his Sky grasper blew up.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Foolish mortal.
You were given a life to live.
Why did you give it up?
Despite knowing the risk?
You know that Death would claim you.
But why did you still do it?
I gave you the chances you needed.
But you gave them up.
Its too late for regrets.
For you never said your goodbyes.
