Chapter 26 The End of an Era
"Another bites the dust." said Rhyu as he played a very old song he had found on his grandparents computer as he sniped another transport. Until he noticed that Victor was nearby fighting Aeneas. "Well I better go help him or Leilani will kill me."
The two close combat mobile suits kept trading blows as Victor's sword kept trying to break though Aeneas massive energy shields all the while trying not to get hit by his energy shield.
"You know full well Victor that you can't get though my shields and now that I have a power supply in my suit, even if you take away my shield power supply my shields will still be up." said Aeneas as he slammed his shield into Victor sending him flying backward.
"I would beat that if I took away your main power supply your suit would still be a lot weaker." Said Victor as he recovered from the hit and pulled his scythe from his shied.
"Your love has made you weak." said Aeneas
"You sound like Wufei." said Victor
"I am his top student." said Aeneas as he went in to stab Victor. Victor side stepped the spear attack and when Aeneas came in to slam him with his shield Victor placed the tip of his scythe on the edge of the shield. With one quick movement he glided his scythe under the shield and up. Aeneas tried to moved back but it was too late Victors Scythe cut off his lower arm and his connection to the power supply in it.
"If you are his top student then you should go back to school or better yet find a better master." Said Victor
"I WILL KILL YOU!" yelled Aeneas as he charged forward. As he came forward Victor side stepped before bringing his sword to bear.
"Take this" yelled Victor as he slashed down hard on Aeneas back but his energy shield held.
"You fool, I may have lost my shield but my new energy shields can still out now." said Aeneas as suddenly his suit hit something. "What the?"
Aeneas looked out to see nothing but suddenly everything change there was Rhyu with the shard. In one quick motion Rhyu placed the barrel of his sniper rife in Aeneas gut.
"Let's see you stop this." said Rhyu as he pulled the trigger and the beam shot went off; the energy shield was no match for a high energy beam at point blank range. The shot ran though the gundams power supply causing the entire suit and Aeneas to disappear inside a massive fire ball.
"Rhyu?" asked Victor hoping to see the shard come out of the flames. To his amazement the shard came flying out.
"Damn it." said Rhyu
"Rhyu are you hurt?" asked Victor
"No, the back blast destroyed my rife." said Rhyu as he tossed his now destroyed rife away.
"Thanks." said Victor
"Ya, well if I didn't help you then Leilani would kill me." said Rhyu "She would probably think I didn't do it because I want to go out with her even though I already accept a date with Mayu."
"So she finally asked you out." Said Victor
"Oh, not you too…how come I am the only one who didn't know that Mayu liked me?" asked Rhyu
"I don't know." said Victor
"Well go help Leilani, I need to get a new rife." said Rhyu as he started back toward the battle station.
"I will be the one that finally kills the angel." said Wufei as he fired at two dragon arms at Heero to his amazement two beam shots shot out of where normally the flames would be. "I have up graded my gundam."
"I see." Said Heero as one of Wing Angels arms glowed he reached out and grabbed one of the arms. Wufei's eyes widened as his arm exploded. (Like what the Destiny can do.)
"What the?"
"Wufei your not the only one who has an upgraded gundam." said Heero
"I see." said Wufei "You think you are the best don't you?"
"No…I am not the best." said Heero "If I truly was the best I would have found a way to stop this war before it even had started. The souls lost in this war are on our shoulders Wufei. You, Relena and myself we are the ones reasonable for their deaths."
"There deaths are meaningless." said Wufei
"You sound like Rey." Said Heero as he remembered Wing Angel's first battle "I will tell you what I told him all life as a meaning."
"Shut up!" yell Wufei as he prepared to charge, however just then an alarm went off. He turned around just in time to see a rocket booster fly away and a glow of a beam sword. Next thing he knew was a sharp pain around his knees. He had just enother time to look down to see that his legs were gone and to look to his side to see Lunamaria Yuy's Gundam standing there with the beam sword that had run though him.
"My God I was beaten by a woman…a woman." Thought Wufei as his entire suit exploded in a giant fireball taking him with it.
"Luna?" asked Heero a little stunned to see his wife on this battlefield.
"I was worried." said Luna as she put her sword away "Sorry about your old friend."
"Luna the person you killed wasn't the Wufei I knew." Said Heero "But what about the Lunar base, have you taken it already?"
"No, in fact the preventers are surrendering." said Luna as Heero's eyes widened. "Apparently seeing them use nukes made the people turn against them and a senator Khushrenada has order them to stand down."
"Relena would never allow that." Said Heero
"She didn't the congress has removed her from office and she is on the run still trying to regain power." Said Luna
"How did I miss all that?" asked Heero "It must be the radiation."
"Probably and why aren't you in your space suit?" asked Luna as Heero rolled his eyes.
"Not this again." Thought Heero as he remembered all the times his wife had yelled at him for not wearing a flight suit. "Well the nukes were going off and I needed to get onto the battlefield as fast as possible."
"Ok, I'll let it slid this time." said Luna "Now where is Leilani is she still on Earth or did she come up to fight?"
"She is up here." Said Heero as he tried to pick up his daughter's IFF but the radiation had most of his sensors useless he had not even picked up Luna's IFF until she had killed Wufei.
"Leilani where are you?" yelled Victor as he tried to find his girlfriend if only his sensors where working but the radiation was still in his way. So he had to find her visually and with all the floating wreckage from the destroyed ships and mobile suits made it very hard. Fondly a large explosion happened nearby and out of the explosion came Leilani who was firing at Dimitri with his twin machine guns.
"Leilani do you need some help?" asked Victor
"Get out of here Victor I can just keep up with him." said Leilani as she fired a pair of missiles. "I don't want you to get hurt."
"Well I don't want you get to get hurt either." said Victor as he joined the fight.
"Damn you Victor." said Leilani as she followed him in the charge toward Dimitri.
"So it is two against one." said Dimitri with a smile as he armed all his weapons "At least you will be able to see each other as you die."
"Wow." said Victor as he started to dodge the attack.
"See what I mean he has so much firepower we can't get in close." said Leilani as she fired her fire "And you are a close combat mobile suit."
"So what do you want to do?" asked Victor "Because my idea of charging in doesn't seam like it is going to work."
"I have a few." said Leilani as she ran her fingers a cross the key board forming a battle plan. Then in one move she sent her plan to Victor. "Can you do that?"
"Sure thing." said Victor as they started to carry out Leilani's plan. The two gundams stared to move in a pair. Keeping apart but pulling almost the same moves, they would cross each other paths every once in a while in an attempt to mix Dimitri up.
"You can't fool me Leilani I will not mix you and Victor up." said Dimitri as he followed Wing II. Suddenly when the two suits where crossing each other Leilani disappeared. "What the?"
He looked back to where Victor was just in time to see a pair of missiles flying toward him. He turned to fire but they exploded in a blinding flash of light. The next thing he saw was Victor's sword he raised his own sword and blocked his attack.
"Nice try, Leilani was behind you and then she fires a flash bang missile to blind me." said Dimitri "But it didn't work."
"Yes, it did." said Leilani as Dimitri looked to his side just in time to see Leilani coming down on his arm gun cutting it off. Then in one movement she reached over and ripped off the shoulder missile pods.
"See you later." said Victor as he pulled his scythe out with his free hand and cut off one of Dimitri's legs. After he did that he pushed Dimitri back.
"You can't win." laughed Dimitri as he typed a word into his computer system
"You have lost Dimitri." said Victor "You lost an arm and a leg and your only weapon is a sword."
"No, I have a secret weapon." Said Dimitri as his suit's eyes flashed.
"My God, Victor get back!" yelled Leilani
"I will make this place your grave." laughed Dimitri as he charged forward his entire mobile suit glowing. "If I am going to die I am taking both of you with me."
"Move!" yelled Leilani as she grabbed Victors arms and flew away just as Dimitri's self destruct went off. In a massive fireball but it wasn't a normal blast it was a nuke.
Heero and Luna were flying as fast as possible trying to find their daughter when a blinding flash of light filled the darkness. "A nuke." said Luna as they speed over to the location when they arrived they found two badly burn gundams floating dead in space. However they were in tact.
"Victor you there?" asked Leilani as she looked around her damaged cockpit.
"Ya." said Victor as blood ran down his face. "You know what I finial think it's over."
"It over." said Heero as he appeared on their screens "The preventers are giving up and only Relena remains."
"Thank God." said Victor "I can finally see my parents."
"Ya." said Leilani
"Ya, but you get to meet them too." said Victor with a grin "And believe me my mom will grill you for information."
"Just great." said Leilani
"It is a two way street Leilani, I have to deal with your dad and you have to deal with my mom." said Victor
Meanwhile on Earth Relena sat behind a desk at the Iceland base.
"President Dorland." Said an aid as Relena looked up at him.
"What is the news?" asked Relena
"Commander Wufei is dead and the entire fleet is either killed or captured." said the aid as Relena leaned back in her chair.
"I see." Said Relena
"Also Senator Khushrenada has sent all the mobile suits she can to get you and she has asked for help from our enemies." said the aid
"So all hope is lost." Said Relena
"Yes, this base is our last base and the soldiers are turning against the commander for siding with you." said the aid "The soldiers will not fight for you."
"I see, then this world is now lost in darkness." said Relena "Will you please leave now."
"Yes, President Dorland." said the aid as he left the room.
Slowly Relena took out a photo that she had kept in her pocket for so many years. It was possibly the only picture she had of the two of them together her and Heero. It was taken while at the school she had started in the sanc kingdom. "I guess we will never be together Heero." said Relena as she reached into the desk and pulled a lighter. Slowly she light the end of the photo. She just sat their watching the image of her and Heero burn into ash. She still held onto the photo as it burned her hand she didn't care anymore.
"Goodbye Heero, I did this all to save you from the coordinators and so that we could be together but it seams that we were not met to be." She said as she let the ash fall down. Then slowly she reached into the desk again and pulled a gun.
Outside the door the two guards stood still until suddenly a single shot rang out. The guards rushed into the room to find President Relena Peacecraft Dorland dead from a single gun shot to the head. The blood was running down her arms and dripping off the still smoking gun she was still holding in her hands.
