Chapter: 12/?
Pairings: 1x2, 3x4 and 13x5x6.
Rating: R, drama, angst, lemon and sap. TWT
Warnings: R, violence, darkness, madness, bad language
and some sap. To those whom actually likes Relena I must tell you
that I plainly hate her and this fic is a real big Relena
bashing, don't flame me for it because you have been already
warned. All flames will be made fun of!
Since I had a big problem about Wufei's honor and
loyalty to his comrades I send the timeline to fly far away and
our dear Treize will not die ^^V
AN: Well, this is my first fic about Gundam Wing so I ask
you to please not be too harsh with me ^^! Even when there's 3x4
and 13x5x6 the main pair is 1x2. Maybe you could think Heero is
OOC but I don't think so... He's in love; you know how that
affects people. OOC Relena? Don't make me laugh, I don't think
there can be an OOC Relena... I hope you understand what I mean.

Long to let me own them. Later I discovered that Kamisama had
been arrested for plagiarism and fraud ^^!

Chapter 12
They all put their space suit and then climbed to their
respective gundams; the sound of the MS was amazingly loud. Duo
and Heero left the hangar first being closely followed by Trowa
and Quatre. The four pilots waited until the other four exited
the hangars too. Treize left first, then Zechs followed by Wufei
and Noin. The war was starting and they all had the same thought
in their minds: We won't lose.
Heero opened the com-link and gave the last orders.
"Ok, you all know what you have to do. If I'm not wrong Une
will be piloting Wing, isn't her?"
Treize sighed and answered.
"Yes, you left it behind after getting Wing Zero so she
rescued it. She actually wanted me to use it but I preferred the
Tallgeese. She will be here any time soon"
"Ok, then as soon as she arrives tell her to join my group.
Wing is still a powerful gundam and it'll be of great help
against the Libra... Well, time to leave, come back to the
Peacemillion when you finish"
With that he lead his team towards the Libra and Treize lead the
other one towards L-1 where most of the Oz MS were. The four
gundams leading towards the Libra base were going at full speed,
they knew they would be detected before they could even approach
the base and they needed to be faster than them, so they could be
as near as the could before the battle begins.
"Quatre, Duo you two cover Trowa, I can handle the Taurus by
myself"
"Roger"
"Okey dokey!"
Obviously Duo wouldn't answer like any normal pilot, oh well,
Heero was used to it already anyway.
"Trowa, Try not to waste your ammunition, let Duo and Quatre
handle the MS and focus only on the target, we must
destroy those coolers before they have the time to shoot the beam"
"I'll lower the range of shooting and I can control the
speed of the guns. Don't worry"
"Ok. Don't use the com-link unless it is an emergency"
They didn't answer; from now on they wouldn't say another word.
When they were almost at two miles from the Libra, the Taurus
started to attack them. Heero destroyed a good amount of them
with the double beam cannon of Zero while Duo and Quatre cleaned
the way for Trowa. They were almost there and now they only had
to place themselves on the right places, but it was somewhat
difficult since the Libra was shooting the lasers and there was
no sign of stopping.
One of the lasers hit Deathscythe, which as all of them knew
wasn't the best thing to do. After Heero, what Duo loved the most
was his gundam and the only idea of having even the smallest of
scratches over the so carefully polished paint was something he
would never accept. And so he let them know.
"SHINIGAMI WANT'S REVENGE!!!"
Even without the com-links they were sure they would be able to
hear that scream. Duo charged against the Taurus in front of him
with rage and determination. He was Shinigami and so he let them
know. Duo neared the base without any other damage to his
precious gundam and the three other pilots were sure that the
first laser he destroyed was the one that had hit him. Heero
smiled, let it to his lover to take revenge in the biggest of
scales.
Heero finally could position himself at one side of the Libra and
for the way the cannon was shining they soon would be shooting
towards the earth.
"Trowa!! Get ready!!"
Trowa didn't answer but shooting to a last Taurus raced towards
the other side of the base being covered efficiently by
Deathscythe and Sandrock. They could see that the Maguanacs had
already came and they were now busy fighting the Taurus.
"01 this is Lady Une, Treize-sama told me to come here"
"Perfect, please tell your troops to divide in two and send
one half to support Treize and the others. The rest of you must
keep the Taurus away from us, or we will never be able to destroy
the coolers. There's more MS than I expected"
"Understood 01"
Lady Une did as she was told and half of her unit left towards
the colonies and she and the other half stayed fighting the other
Taurus.
* * *
Treize was furious; this war had become something like those
electronic games boys liked to play so much. They were fighting
puppets. He hated the MD, how to end a war when your enemy sends
wave after wave of unfeeling machines? When he heard Lady Une
calling him on the com-link; he was almost relieved. Now they
were more; no matter how many MD Tubarov had there was no way
they could produce more so fast.
"Zechs, go and support Noin. Lady Une sent back up and Wufei
and I can handle until they get here"
"Ok... please be careful and..."
"I know, don't worry. Wufei IS an amazing warrior"
"I know"
With that Zechs flew away and joined Noin in battle. The unit Une
sent came fast and they won the upper hand in the battle. They
knew that their part of the battle wasn't as hard as the one
Heero and the other would confront, but it was still hard. Wufei
told something over the com-link at Treize and left to fight new
group of Taurus that had just appeared; he was an excellent
warrior but when you're surrounded by MD there's no much you can
do. He hesitated, he didn't want to use it, but he knew that if
he didn't there was very little possibilities for him to win.
"Better I finish with this now"
And he inserted the code: Z. E. R. O.
"Nataku, please don't fail me..."
And then the cockpit of his gundam shone, his pupils got dilated
and the system took over him. At first he saw just the mobile
dolls and shoot with more precision and velocity. It was amazing
to see how the system acted over the pilot, or at least that was
what Treize thought when he noticed the change on Altron.
"The system is dangerous, yes. But I have to admit that is
really good"
What he didn't know was that Wufei was losing his control over
the Zero system and that his mind was losing itself to the
counter effects of it. He stop seeing the MD and he knew that
soon it would show him his future... or at least that was what he
thought it was.
The image of the MD changed, he knew that the system would show
him his enemy, whom he must fight. And what he saw almost killed
him; there in front of his eyes was the image of Treize. The
system was telling him that his enemy, the one he had to destroy
was his own lover... He couldn't help it; the strength of the
system over him was too much and even when he didn't want to he
knew he had to fight against the one he loved.
"Wufei? Wufei answer me!"
But he couldn't hear Zechs' calls, all he could see was his
target. His enemy.
"Wufei!!"
"No Zechs... let him. I always knew that this would happen
one day. We never finished our duel"
"But Treize!!"
Treize sighed and told Zechs that there was nothing he could do
to stop it, that it was the Zero system that was controlling
Wufei and that they couldn't shut it down because Heero was still
fighting.
"And you know that even if the system is off he still would
be under its influence. Please Zechs, if anything happens to me
in this duel don't leave him alone. It's not his fault, at least
not all of it"
"I know, please try to solve it without getting any of you
hurt"
"I will"
With that he turned the com-link off leaving it open only for
Wufei. Zechs didn't leave; he not only wanted to see that duel
but he too had to keep the Taurus away from them. Wufei turned
towards Treize.
"Treize! I want you to show me the meaning of your justice!"
With that he pounced with his thermal trident. Treize could avoid
it but not for much, he took his own thermal sword and confronted
his lover.
"Finally we're finishing our duel my little dragon"
"I want you to show me the meaning of so many lives lost in
your fight"
"I respect every life lost in battle and I will honor and
forever be grateful for their offer"
"Then show me!!"
They started their fight and Treize knew that he might not be the
winner this time.
* * *
The four gundams were in position, they had only one chance,
because the cannon was ready to shoot and if they failed there
was no way they would be able to stop the beam hitting the earth.
"Quatre?"
"Ready"
"Trowa?"
"Ready"
"Duo?"
"Never been better!! More than ready to bring Hell to space!!"
"Ok... FIRE!"
The four of them fired at the same time and to Heero's relief the
twelve coolers were destroyed. Almost immediately the cannon
stopped working.
"YOOOOOO HOOOOO!!!"
Heero smiled once again.
"Don't celebrate yet Duo, we still have to destroy the Libra"
"I know lover"
* * *
Treize once again could dodge one of Wufei's attacks and he
pounced with is own. He hit the side of the gundam but it didn't
do too much damage. Wufei, who was still with the system acting
over him, was in rage.
"I am justice! I can't lose!"
"Wufei, justice change depending of the view of each person.
Your justice may no be the same as the one of any other person,
or mine but either way all of them are justice. Each one of us
want a different kind of justice"
"And so, my justice leads me to fight. I must fight you to
prove it! I'm not weak, for if I am, then I'm not worth of Nataku!
And I would be a failure to my people and Meiran! I CAN'T ACCEPT
THAT!"
With that he pounced and this time he hit the middle of Treize's
Tallgeese.
"You're not weak my dragon. You never were, and you never
will be... I love you"
Wufei closed his eyes and waited for the explosion he knew would
kill his lover. In a way he knew that it was what he had to do
but he didn't feel happy for it. He had done what he had to do
but it pierced his soul and destroyed his heart. Almost one
minute later he heard the explosion and his scream couldn't be
heard by anyone.
"I'm sorry!!"
He still had his eyes closed and tears were floating in front of
him.
"I'm so sorry"
* * *
Heero fired towards the center of the Libra, right through the
cannon. All of the gundams and remaining Taurus fastly got away
from the base for the up coming explosion. Heero fired once more
and too flew away. The explosion was enormous and most of the
base was destroyed leaving only a few pieces that would burn
before they could get to earth.
"Heero!! Holly shit! HEERO!"
"I know Duo! We have to act as fast as we can! Trowa you
still have ammunition?!"
"Enough to destroy at least a part of it!"
"Ok, then MOVE FAST!"
There was a big part that still reminded complete, if it fell to
earth their mission would be a failure. Heero, Trowa and Lady Une
rushed to get in front of the falling wing of the base while
Quatre, Duo and the Maguanacs went to the sides. The rest f the
Taurus from Une's unit joined Heero and the other two in the
front. Duo cut the most of it he could with the scythe and Quatre
did the same. The Maguanacs fired at the parts they destroyed to
make them even smaller so they would burn when falling to earth.
"Duo! all of you must get away!! We'll fire the cannons now!"
They didn't need to be told twice. Once Heero knew they where at
a safe distance he, Une and Trowa fired at the same time. The
falling wing was destroyed and now the Taurus were destroying the
parts to make them as small as they could. None of them knew
about what was happening at the other battlefield, except maybe
Quatre. He felt pain in his heart but he didn't know where it
came from. Too many people had died today.
"Duo?"
"I'm ok Heero"
"Good"
"Quatre?"
"..."
"Quatre!!"
"Sorry... it's just.."
Quatre suddenly got and idea of what may have been causing his
pain.
"Oh! By Allah! Wufei!!"
Heero understood and just then he noticed the small red light at
his side that showed the Zero system of Wufei's gundam acting out
of control. He cursed and shut it down, but he knew it was too
late. Heero asked Une if all the pieces left of the Libra were
already destroyed and she confirmed it.
"Ok, then tell your unit to follow us. We must give support
to Treize's group"
Heero was leading the whole group. They all flew as fast as they
could towards the colonies. Quatre lead the Maguanacs towards one
side of the battlefield and Une lead the other towards the
Tallgeese was supposed to be. What they never expected was to see
an immobile Altron and the pieces of what should have been
Tallgeese III.
"What the hell happened here?!"
Duo couldn't understand what he was seeing. The battle had ended
and they had won, but it didn't feel like that at all. He
respected Treize and he had seen how good was the man for Wufei.
A scream coming from his com-link took him out of his thoughts,
it was Une.
"Treize-sama!!"
Duo saw Heero approach the gundam still not moving and then heard
him talk by the shared com-link.
"Wufei? Wufei answer me. What happened here?"
There was no answer. It was as if there was no one inside the
gundam. Quatre had come back with the Maguanacs and told them
that the battle had finished there too. It was then that the
Arabian pilot felt it, the pain coming from the gundam 05. He
felt the grief that only came when you have lost someone you love.
He knew then what had happened.
"Allah, please give us strength..."
"Had someone seen Epyon? I can't locate it!"
Noin asked them, in fact there was no trace of the red gundam. Not
even on their radar.
"Someone please look for Zechs. I think he'll be the only
one who can take care of this"
That was Trowa. He was next to Quatre and all he wanted to do was
to get out from his gundam to go and embrace his lover. He knew
what the other pilot must have been feeling and even when there
was nothing he could about it he at least could be there for him.
They all were so shocked about the scene in front of them that no
one noticed Deathscythe starting to get away from them. Duo
didn't know what was happening, he hadn't had the need to use the
system and now not being able to control his own body he inserted
the code of zero. Just a minute later the system did its work and
all Duo could see was a very bright light around him, then
everything faded.
Six pilots suddenly lost conscious of their surroundings and all
they could see was black. Slowly they all started to see
something, shapes started to take form in front of their eyes.
Just five of them recognized the place they were seeing. What
they saw after that left them even more shocked than they already
were. The saw the attack and then the change that took place
after it.
How one of them stop existing and other being took possession of
the body. How the other were affected by the things happening in
front of them. How one of them found a piece of his loved one in
a horrible pink plastic box. The bizarre image of a friend
bleeding. They heard the painful truth of each one of them. They
saw how the one who had fallen was now with them again but not
totally with them. They saw the trial and punishment and finally
they saw the execution.
They saw and felt everything as if they had actually lived it.
And none of them could stand it.
"Make it stop!"
"It hurts too much!"
"Please!"
"Nooooo!!"
"Oh my God!!"
"Ahhh!"
Duo didn't know what to do, it hurt like hell to see and feel
everything again. He knew who had done this and he didn't know
why he did it.
"Why?! Why are you doing this! I didn't what them to know!"
You wanted it, even if not consciously... you still wanted it
Duo finally could regain control of his body and shut the system
off. But he knew it was useless now, what they all had seen
couldn't be erased from their minds and he feared they wouldn't
accept it. He was scared that they would leave him alone.
The first one to react was Wufei and his reaction was something
no one expected. The pilot started to scream about injustice and
pain and before anyone could do anything the pilot of Altron left.
They were too shocked to register what was happening and so no
one followed him. He disappeared from view.
Duo started to call all his friends but they didn't seem to be
there. Finally Heero answered him first.
"What? Duo! Duo are you ok?!"
"Heero! Please tell me how are you!"
Heero, being the perfect trained soldier he was, calmed himself
down and started to calm down his lover.
"I'm ok Duo, please calm down. I want to know if you're ok
and I really want to know what was that"
"I... I'm fine... Heero-"
But he was interrupted by Trowa who was desperately calling
Quatre, but the pilot wouldn't answer.
"Trowa take Quatre and go back to the Peacemillion. We'll be
there in a minute"
It was kind of strange how calm Heero was, but they didn't ask
him. He was right, they had to go back towards Peacemillion and
take care of the wounded ones. Une took her unit with her and
followed the other two pilots and the Maguanacs.
"Heero, where's Wufei?"
"I don't know Duo. I can't find his gundam. Neither I can
find Epyon"
"Oh God..."
"Duo... what I saw... what we all saw... that was-"
"That was the dream I had... Shinigami made me see what
would have happened if Relena had actually succeeded cutting my
braid.
"I see... Come on, let's go back to Peacemillion"
"What about Wufei and Zechs?"
"I can't find any of them in my radar and I think that they
actually don't want to be found. There's nothing I can do for now"
Duo didn't answer and just followed his boyfriend towards the
space ship. He was afraid of what the visions had caused to his
friends and how they would react towards him. The fact that Wufei
and Zechs didn't want to be found said a lot and he feared he had
already lost two of his friends. They soon reached the space ship
and landed their gundams on the hangar. He could see on his
monitor how Trowa helped Quatre to get out of his gundam and how
Rashid was helping Lady Une to go to the medical center of the
ship.
He didn't feel like leaving his gundam. Deathscythe had always
been his best hiding place and where he always felt secure when
he was scared. He didn't feel like confronting Heero, but he knew
that the other pilot wouldn't wait until he felt that he wanted
to leave the security of his gundam.
And he wasn't disappointed.
"Duo... Duo please get out of there"
But he didn't want to. What could he say to his lover? It wasn't
his fault; he didn't do it on purpose but it still happened. He
was trembling and he had tears in his eyes wanting to be free
from them. Instinctively he hugged himself getting himself into a
fetal position.
"Duo I'm going there..."
He didn't answer. Even if he said no he knew Heero would go and
force open the cockpit. He smiled sadly and started trembling
even harder. Heero did as he thought and suddenly there was the
bright light of the hangars illuminating him and blinding his
eyes.
"Duo!"
Heero was shocked at the state his lover was. The wing pilot
didn't waste more time and took one of the blankets Duo always
had inside the gundam for emergencies and covered him, but the
shaking didn't stop. Heero took Duo in his arms and helped him to
stand up and leave the cockpit. Carefully he held Duo against his
own body and then went down the gundam. When they reached the
floor Duo almost collapsed but Heero was fast enough to stop him.
"Duo please answer me"
Duo only embraced him tight and started to cry. Heero held him
protectively and caressed his back slowly.
"Shhh... It's ok Duo. It's over now... no one can hurt you
now"
Only then Duo spoke.
"No Heero. It's not over yet... I may have lost... I may
have lost my friends forever"
Heero sighed.
"Duo, if there's something I'm sure about is that they will
never leave you alone. I saw that images too and felt them too
and as you can see I'm still here"
"Thank you... God Heero! Please hold me tight!"
Heero just did as Duo asked. Duo was so affected that he didn't
notice when Heero lifted him in his arms and carried him to the
medical center to be checked by Sally. He opened the door
carefully and entered the room looking for an empty bed he could
use. Sally saw him and guided him to one corner of the large room
where there was one last bed empty. He settled the now
unconscious body of his lover on the bed and looked around him.
Quatre was in the bed next to him and in the other side were some
Maguanacs and pilots from Une's troops. Lady Une was sleeping
under the influence of some sedatives in a bed next to Quatre's.
"Where's Noin, Sally?"
Sally Po shook her head sadly.
"She said she would go to look for Zechs... And I think you
should send someone to look for Wufei. I think he's in a very bad
state of mind right now"
"I know, but I couldn't detect him in my radar... I'm quite
sure he doesn't want to be found"
Sally sighed and went to check her patients. Heero caressed Duo's
cheek with his right hand and then noticed the small braid around
his wrist. He softly touched it and then leaned down to kiss Duo
in the forehead.
"Don't worry Duo. I'll always be at your side, no matter
what"
* * *
Noin had been flying for almost two hours now and still nothing.
She knew she soon would have to go back to the Peacemillion
because her oxygen tank was getting empty. She couldn't
understand how Zechs had done to disappear like that and why he
had disappeared, even when she knew it had to do with Treize's
death. She loved him and even when she didn't accept the
relationship he had with the ex-head of Oz and the gundam pilot
she loved him too much to interfere.
She sighed sadly and then turned to go back towards the space
ship. She would go for a search trip again once her MS was
repaired and filled.
* * *
In the dark side of the moon there was a tall and imposing figure.
It was immobile and impossible to detect because of the strategic
place it was. Inside the cockpit a pilot had his hands on the
controls gripping them tightly and his head down in shame. His
eyes were closed but there were tears floating around him.
"I'm. So. Sorry..."
~tbc~
Ok, once again I left a cliffhanger... And as all of you already
know... I DID IT ON PURPOSE!!! Nyaaahahahaaaaa!!!! Well, finally
Wufei's problem was revealed, yes he always feared the system
would cause him to do something like that, because deep inside of
him he knew he still had to confront Treize. *hugs Wufei
