Five Gundams And A Baby

Rage, pure and unrivalled rage filled her, though a being of light, she was almost surprised that she could still feel something so dark
"This ends now." she whispered her rage destroying all the youma around her, though her eyes were locked on Pharaoh 90
"U...Usagi." Duo stuttered in shock staring at her as the woman began to take slow deliberate steps towards the dark figure before her
"Oh? Trying to play on my side for once little princess, well. Let's see whose darkness is more powerful." Pharaoh 90 snarled as he began to throw his power at her, her rage deflected it, how dare he, how dare this man even think to try and destroy her friends, he had killed Demando and threatened her friends...threatened Trowa.
"Usagi, don't." Trowa called from behind her, but her rage her deafened her to their cries, the structure around them was cracking from the power coming from the pair in front of them, and all too quickly the roof caved hiding them from view and leaving the gundam group cut off from the one they had come to save
"...Usagi." Quatre whispered in horror, he had never felt so much anger before...
/pb/
"Do you really think you can win against me, with rage? Everything you do is merely giving me more power." the dark figure laughed as he enjoyed her rage, it was like feeding him his favourite drug
"I think I can defeat you with power alone, You and yours came here and seem intent on destroying everything, Earth just wanted to be left alone, I just wanted to be left alone, why could you not just leave us be?" Usagi demanded her rage finally seeming to hit its peak as it broke, and sadness took her, what was she doing? Fighting rage with rage? What else could she fight with though? Love? Her lover was dead and she dared not rely on a love for someone she couldn't trust
"If I let you kill me...will you leave earth alone?" she whispered as the man before her paused, was she offering her life?
"Well now...what a proposition." he mused as she glared at him from under her silvery blond bangs
"Leave this planet, it had no worth, please, just leave them alone." Usagi whispered as the tendrils of his dark power began to slide towards her
"If you just stand there like a good girl and do nothing, I will leave this wretched planet be, the universe is mine to take if all competition is dead." he chucked as Usagi let her head fall
"I have no one to live for anyway." she whispered tears gathering, she had loved the man that had killed her soul, she had no right to live, as long as this world would be safe, maybe this was for the best
"I just love how stupid you are princess." Pharaoh 90 sniggered "No one to live for, all those little minions that have given their all for you, so like a royal, arrogant until the end."
"What?" Usagi demanded her head lashing up as her enemy smirked before her, he didn't seem intent on killing her fast now that she had given up to him, instead wanting to savour her defeat a bit longer, enjoy maybe some torment before she was dead
"Those little toys of yours that came running all the way here, that boy that was trying his very best to protect you."
"Trowa...he...was the reason Mamoru died." Usagi whispered
"So?"
"How dare you." Usagi snarled rage hitting her again, how dare he say that like it didn't matter, it was the only thing that did matter, Mamoru was dead and it was all because of Trowa
"Keep feeding me if you like princess, I must say your rage is most delicious, the rage of the pure light of the cosmos." Pharaoh 90 smirked, he was tempted to keep her alive purely as a food source, her rage was different then any he had tasted before, but this was the moon princess, much too dangerous to keep alive, in case she decided to come to her senses one day
"As enjoyable as this little discussion has been, I think it's time to end this, don't you princess, now be a good girl and die." he said sweetly his power moving towards her "So I can get on with destroying everything you hold dear."
/pb/
"Usagi." his voice cried as she started looking at her once lover, Mamoru, how was he here?
"Mamoru..." she whispered before throwing herself into his arms and sobbing as the ghost of her lover hugged her close "I get to be with you finally." she sobbed in relief as Mamoru shook his head pushing her back finally
"Usa...I came to tell you this is the last time, you're not dead, your mother interfered, we have only a little time...Pharaoh 90 will not keep his word, you know that, you have to fight him."
"With what? I have nothing left to fight with." Usagi whispered as Mamoru sighed
"Meatball head you are just too dense. Fight for the ones you love, regardless of their past, do you forget that I was once on the other side too, I hurt people."
"But you...were brain washed." she whimpered as Mamoru sighed pulling her back into his arms and stroking her hair
"You forgave me, you can forgive him...Usa, you can't let Pharaoh 90 win, he will destroy everything, the planet, the people, that child you've been caring for, the new friends you've made, everything will end if you just give up."
"Mamoru..."
"Usa...this is the last time you'll see me, I'm going to move on, as you must as well. Live your life, forgive him...and be happy please...My life ended all too soon, I don't want yours too. I want you to live Usa, I want you to live and be happy."
"M...Mamoru." she whispered staring at him, but how, how did she begin to forgive Trowa?
"Fight this fight, depend on your love for him, and then see if it's really not true love...please Usa, fight Pharaoh 90 and win."
"I...I will fight." he was right at least about one thing, Pharaoh 90 could not be trusted, she had to fight for this world one more time...and then...and then she would decide on what to do next.
/pb/
"What?" Pharaoh 90 snarled as his powers were thrown back at him, that pale silvery pink glow, it couldn't be "You...You..."
"I will protect this world." Usagi whispered under the guise of Princess Serenity once more, her ginzuishou held in front of her as she wielded its powers as the last heir to the moon kingdom and only surviving Lunarian, she would fight to protect that blue star in their sky, that world she had come to think of as home
"Your victory is not so easy bitch." Pharaoh 90 snarled as he summoned more rage and began to fight the glowing being before him, he would not lose, not to some second rate undecided brat from a long dead pacifist kingdom.
/pb/
"What do we do...we can't get through that..." Duo mused as Trowa stared at his hands
"Retreat." he said softly after some time as everyone looked at him startled, what?
"And leave Usa here with that psycho? What is wrong with you Trowa, have you gone insane in your time here?" Duo demanded as he punched Trowa, the man took the hit that threw him to the floor and sat one hand touching his cheek softly, he wished she would have hit him when she got mad at him, instead of that broken crying look
"Trowa's right Duo, we need to get help to excavate this, we cant get through without help, some of us will remain and find a way around this section, the rest need to return and get help." Quatre reasoned as he hoped her was correct to what Trowa had been thinking, but none of them were really sure what had happened in the pairs time here, there was no guarantee Trowa hadn't snapped finally
"Let's go." Heero said grabbing Duo by the arm, he went to protest but gave in and followed after them, he was better at piloting shuttles, it was best he went to get it done fast
"Well...Wufei, Quatre and Trowa, stay here and look for a way around, We will return soon." Zechs bade as he stepped after the pair taking Relena with him as Wufei grumbled a non committal reply and left the corridor to look around
"Trowa...Did something happen?" Quatre asked, Trowa was silent, even for him, it was scary to see him like this, almost like a depression had cast itself over the man
"She knows...about..." Trowa whispered as Quatre bit at his bottom lip, so that's what this was about "She..."
"Didn't take it well?" Quatre asked as Trowa nodded
"She let him brainwash her to escape the reality of it...she...she was...starting to..."
"She was falling in love with you, and knowing you were the one that had killed her last love shattered her." Quatre summarised as Trowa nodded again
"Trowa...let's go find her...and try to talk some sense into her, if she really does love you, given time, she'll be able to forgive you." Quatre promised as Trowa looked at him in silence for a few moments before nodding, thought he knew in his heart, she would never forgive him, she could never forgive him.

"You can't protect this world little girl, you can't even protect the one you love, give up now, while you can, I'll make your death painless." the cloaked figure promised, he was right...she didn't have the power to protect anyone...what was she doing this for?
"Angel..." he breathed her cheeks heating as he studied her in her dress before the party, why was she so nervous, it was just Trowa, his eyes were taking her in, she could feel herself drowning in that emerald gaze as he stared at her slightly dazed.
"Trowa.." she whispered tears gathering, that had been before...but...it had been nice, being with them, all of them
"This was a good idea." she murmured as she studied the young man whose shoulder she was currently using as a pillow, seeing his cheeks hint red, her own mirrored the sentiment as she let her eyes turn back to the group sitting through the movie she had forced on them, though some looked like they truly wished to destroy the screen
"It was fun...playing with the little one...pranks with Duo...it was fun." Usagi whispered trying to stem her tears but her memories only brought more
"You have let them all down princess, now let down your shield and let me kill you, it will all stop, the pain, the sadness, everything will be better." Pharaoh 90 promised as Usagi hugged her middle, she was too weak to fight him...but...the little one...her friends...Trowa...maybe her weakness was because she still held such anger...she had to let it go...but to let that go...what would that mean?
"Trowa...thankyou." she whispered turning to thank the tall man letting the sun fall over her in warm waves, it had been so long since she had been outside, she noted the slight hint of red in his cheeks as he studied her with that ever intense gaze.
"He...took care of me, they all did...I can't...let my past destroy this world." Usagi whispered as she stood shakily drawing her powers to fight her shield dissolving and protection gone as her eyes rose to meet Pharaoh 90
"I cannot give up, I have people waiting for me to come back." she snarled, no rage, just love, she had to use it, as she had so many times before, her love for the planet below them, her love for her friends, that tiny child she was growing so attached to, and most of all, her love for him "Trowa." she whispered drawing her power in, she would finish this fight, in one last blow, she would finish Pharaoh 90 and she would save them all, even if it cost her everything she had left, all her remaining energy, she would protect them this time.
"I will not lose to a brat like you." Pharaoh 90 snarled as his own powers threw back at her, he would not lose to some brat from the moon kingdom broken and shattered as she was, she could never defeat him, not with his new powers stolen from Demando's crystal
"Trowa...I love you."
/pb/
"What was that?" Quatre gasped as the shaking started, something was happening...it felt like...
"Get down." Trowa snapped pulling Quatre down as the blast wave from whatever explosion had just happened washed over the complex, destroying walls and sections alike
"Oh god...Usagi." Trowa whispered staring at the devastation before him, the direction it had come from...
"Trowa...come on, we need to find her, the seal on this base has been broken, the atmosphere will vent quickly, we have to search fast, come on." Quatre bade trying to summon his friend from his daze, Trowa snapped back to reality at his request and nodded jumping to his feet as they darted down into the crater before them, she had to be alive, after all they had done to find and save her, she had to be.

It was the light that got to her first, that damn light that was intruding on her well deserved sleep, why was it so damn bright?
"How long are you going to sleep princess?" a soft voice asked as Usagi's eyes snapped open as she sat with a surprised gasp, Helios, how was he here?
"How..."
"You're in my realm Princess." he bade as she looked around noting she was indeed no longer on the moon
"I...am I dead?" she asked softly as Helios frowned slightly as he sat himself beside her on the lawns of Elysion
"I'm not sure...you're spirit is here yes, I am not sure if your body has perished." he apologised as Usagi moved to sit in a better position as she studied her hands
"Did I win?" she whispered as Helios looked at her again
"I'm not sure of this either princess, the battle was intense and the energy from that final blast remains clinging to the area preventing my view...I was most surprised to find your spirit here." he added as she studied the views
"This place...is so much like my kingdom, before it's fall." Usagi whispered as the horse form of the guardian of Elysion nudged her arm gently in comfort as she weaved her fingers in his hair accepting his comfort
"I...was sad to hear that the little one would no longer be born." he said finally as tears rose to Usagi's eyes as she thought on that tiny pink haired child that could never be.
"As was I." Usagi whispered as Helios rose finally
"Will you ride upon me Princess and view my lands?" Usagi looked up at him surprised, was he trying to comfort her with distraction? "We cannot know the outcome until the energy clears, you may take your ease here until then." he added as Usagi nodded and tugged herself up fingers twining into his hair again as she swung up onto his back and let the ancient guardian take her on a tour of paradise.
"You have a beautiful realm Helios, I truly hope from the bottom on my heart that it can remain so always." she said as they finally finished her tour and he let her from his back taking human form for the first time in a long time to sit and speak with her as creatures she had never seen or imagined before, creatures dreamed by all of creation, came and served them some lunch
"Princess...If...if you have no body to return to, you will always have a place here." Helios promised, Usagi smiling at his offer, he was too kind, this dream guardian.
"Thankyou Helios...my body surviving is secondary though...I just hope that I defeated him." she said softly as Helios rested a hand on her shoulder in comfort
"I'm sure had you not he would have made a move by now, rest at ease here princess while we wait to see what the outcome was." Helios assured as Usagi nodded a soft smile taking her lips, why couldn't she have fallen in love with someone like him, gentle and kind, never having hurt a soul "Princess?" Helios asked in concern as he noticed the tears spilling down her cheeks
"I'm sorry...I don't know why...I just can't stop...crying..." she sobbed softly as Helios gently enfolded the princess of the moon into his arms as she cried out her unknown pain
"Because thinking you may not get to go back, it's painful right?" Helios said softly after some time as Usagi gasped looking up at him, but he was staring out over his beautiful lands
"I have nothing left there." she whispered as he looked down at her finally
"Really? There is no one you would miss? No one you think will be hurt if you never return?" he asked as Usagi averted her eyes recalling the emerald eyed man that seemed to be causing all her problems of late
"I..."
"Princess, there is no such thing as a person that no one will miss, even the little one who is yet to be born is missed by all of us, by you most of all I would think...there will be people that miss you, and people you miss...saying things like your surviving being secondary...it's painful don't you think?" Helios asked as Usagi pulled back from him staring at her hands
"I've...been really selfish haven't I?"
"Naive." Helios corrected as Usagi blinked at him "You have never in your entire existence been selfish princess, Naive though, on many occasions."
"...I...I want to go back." she whispered as he drew her into his hold again as the tears began anew, this time, she knew why she was crying.
"I will pray for you princess, that your body will be alright, and that everything will work out."
/pb/
"Still nothing?" Quatre asked as Trowa nodded his eyes still glued to the screen before him as he searched the imaging back from the moon for any sign of her, they had found nothing, the crater had held no sign of her body, or the stranger she had been fighting, that dark being of unearthly powers.
"Trowa, come on man, you have to rest sometime." Duo called as Trowa ignored him still searching the images for something, anything, she had to be alive, she just had to be.
"Even if she had survived the blast, the entire area has decompressed, survival is impossible." Heero pointed out
"Heero." Quatre cried in protest as the brown haired male shrugged, it was the truth after all
"She...was not human though...she may...there may be a way she could have..." Trowa whispered as Quatre looked back at the determined man, Trowa was refusing to give up the search for her until he found her, dead or alive.
"We can't keep this search up forever." Wufei added in as Trowa looked away from the screen finally his emerald eyes blazing dangerously
"I will not give up." he hissed as Quatre stepped in to calm him down
"How about we continue on our own Trowa, we can send the rest home, Duo should be caring for his daughter as it is, Heero and Wufei have work I'm sure, we can continue on our own." he pacified as Trowa turned his eyes back to the screen, his silence was his acceptance.
"I will find her...I promised to protect her." he breathed not daring look away again in case he missed something vital, she had to be here somewhere, she had to.
/pb/
Helios did so hate to disturb her when she had finally managed to take some rest, he rested a hand on the head of the princess fast asleep with her head on his lap and sighed, she would want to know as soon as possible "Princess...the energy has cleared enough for me to see now." he bade gently as her eyes cracked open and she processed his words, her head felt groggy from crying herself to sleep, but that cleared quickly when she finally realised what he had said
"Helios...what can you see? Please...tell me." she begged softly as his golden eyes peered out at her from under his silver hair
"You won." words could not describe the relief she felt when he said that, she had defeated Pharaoh 90 again, he was done, the earth was safe "He was banished completely, his darkness and form destroyed."
"My body?" she asked as Helios paused searching, her body, the princess' physical form
"I...I still do not know, I can not see it."
"It's destroyed too isn't it?" she whispered as Helios looked at her, he didn't want to have to give her such bad news, not until he was sure
"I'm not certain yet, give me time, I would like to be sure first." he bade Usagi nodding as she sat to stare out at the peaceful lands again holding back her tears, she had dared to start hoping, she had even started to want to return, to her friends, to him.
"I can never go back." Usagi whispered as Helios frowned
"We are not certain yet, please, don't lose hope princess, and let us be sure first." Helios bade as Usagi nodded as she stood
"I'm going to take a little walk on my own...you'll be able to find me won't you?" Usagi asked, already knowing he was sure to be able to find her on his own lands
"Of course. Take your ease." Helios bade before he turned his attention back to searching for the princesses lost form, if she still remained, he would be able to guide her spirit back to her body, otherwise, she was doomed to either accept death or wander his lands forever as a dream.
/pb/
"Well...what will you do now?"
"...I can't just leave it like this can I?" the man sighed as he looked over at the long dead mother of his love
"You did say you were letting go Endymion, but that was a lie wasn't it?"
"I plan to, once she's happy again...but at this rate."
"Her body will perish and so will her chance at happiness...I've interfered to my limit as well, as much as I would like to interfere further..." she whispered as Mamoru sighed
"Really...I just can't leave her on her own after all, this boy better know how much work she is." he chuckled as Selenity smiled softly at the former prince of the earth
"How will you solve this one?" she asked, his interference ability was less then her own unless she facilitated it
"I have one last thing I can do."
/pb/
Mavrik - okay...so...please...don't kill me ., between work and uni I kinda lost track of everything and completely forgot about this...I'm kinda back now though, got a tablet that I can write on at uni and work between things to see if I can get back into it.
Elendur - and I haven't been around to poke him ." I move out and he stops writing, brat.
Mavrik - I'm getting back into it, well, being guilted into it, leaving this one here at the moment while I see what I can do with the other one, though on a roll with this one so this may still get updated before When you are with me.
Elendur - He's been writing plenty apparently, just not on these, and some not even FanFiccies, but we'll see what motivation we can provide to get him going again on these one.
Mavrik - I'm so sorry...More will come soon, I really promise this time.
