Disclaimer: I don’t own Gundam Wing or anything like it so please don’t sue me, really I’m not worth it. There’s not a cent to my name. I’m glad I’m back from the wedding, it took so long..so I’m sorry about the wait. People have been asking me to do another saga with the character’s kids so if you want me to do one..tell me in the reviews..on to part 6…
At the professor’s base:
The workers were still making adjustments to the Gundams, but all kept giving Polartic constant glances. Heero was at the main consul trying to peace together the information that Relena computed into Polartic, however spacey it was. Duo came up behind Heero and slapped him on the shoulder.
"Hey Heero, find anything yet?"
Heero stopped working, turned to Duo and gave him a piercing gaze.
"Don’t ever come behind me and smack me on the shoulder, again. Unless, ..you want to lose your arm. And no, I haven’t found anything useful yet, but I still have a lot of information to put together."
Duo scratched the back of his head.
"Well, I can see my expertise is not needed. So, I’ll leave now."
Heero turned back to the main consul.
"Do what ever you want."
In Space:
Relena was putting on some clothes that Derrik so graciously gave her. She winced as the clothes rubbed some wounds the wrong way. Relena was in the middle of thinking about Heero and how she could stop this from happening when the door to the room opened. Relena didn’t look up as she talked to the intruder.
"I’m almost ready, don’t worry I won’t put up much of a fight...yet."
She whispered the last word so they would not hear. The footsteps got closer to her, Relena looked up.
"Oh, Son of a Bitch."
She stared into the face of Mary, who laughed.
"Last time I checked Relena, I was the son of no one."
Relena rolled her eyes at the awful comeback, or joke whatever you want to call it.
"I can say it’s a surprise to see you hear Mary. Killing people and Children now?"
Mary quickly closed the space between them and slapped Relena hard across the mouth.
"I did not KILL THE CHILDREN INTENTLY! It was for the greater good."
Relena stared hard into Mary’s eyes.
"Is that what you call it. Does knowing it was for the greater good make you sleep any easier at night?"
Mary raised her hand to slap her again, but Relena caught it before it got to her face.
"Tell me Mary, how is it that killing innocent children who never had the chance ever be proclaimed as being the greater good?"
Mary walked backwards from her until she reached the door.
"you’ll never understand."
Relena felt the tears that knowing it might one day be damon that would get hurt or her own children.
"For once mary, I agree with you. I don’t understand, but I hope that one day you can realize how it would feel if you say your child get killed and their life taken away right in front of you. But then, you’ll never understand."
The two stared at each other for what seemed like hours, but was only a few moments. Mary broke away first and walked out the door. Relena went to the bed at sat down. In the next few minutes Derrik walked in.
"It’s time to go my dear, we only have two hours than our prophesy will come to rule."
Relena walked up to him and looked him right in the face.
"Bull Shit."
She walked pass him and out the door. Relena looked up at the sky when she got outside and closed her eyes for a moment.
"Heero, I love you."
At the professor’s base:
The pilots were waiting around for Heero finish what he was doing, when he stopped at looked up from the computer consul. Quatre saw him break his concentration.
"What’s wrong Heero?"
"I don’t..know. I finished recording and decoding the data."
Misty jumped up from her seat and ran over.
"Great, what does it say?"
Heero turned to all of the pilots.
"As far as I can figure out, Relena is somewhere near L2. I found something else that doesn’t make any sense though. It seems that her own thoughts got twisted into the computer’s. There is a meeting on earth of all six."
Morgan gave him a confused look.
"All six of what?"
Heero crossed his arms over his chest.
"That’s it. That’s the confusing thing, I don’t know."
Misty sighed in defeat.
"This sucks, big time."
As the pilots were thinking about what to make of the situation, Valise came running. Wufei got annoyed at the disturbance while he was trying to think.
"What is it woman?"
Valise ignored him.
"We got a message and it’s about Relena."
Valise went to the main computer consul and typed in the sequence for the message screen.
"The bad thing is it’s only audio."
The pilots gathered around to listen to the message. It was very scratchy.
"Pilots, I’am giving you this information not for my own gratification but for Relena Peacecraft’s. Don’t mistake me, I am not a friend. I’m doing this for a different reason. Every one of you know a man called Derrik Foster, I’m sure you know that he is holding Relena captive. They will be at the meeting of the peace ministers, Derrik will make Relena shoot her brother and take over the rule. In that process the power of that position will be handed over to Derrik. Heero, she did this for you and your son Damon..."
Heero closed his eyes and hung his head.
"Relena."
The message continued.
"He does not shoot Milliardo Peacecraft himself because he would be a target. Relena would be the target instead of him. I’m sorry..I hope you will make it. Another thing, Derrik has some Mobil suits attacking colony L2, L3 and L4, he thought that the famous Gundam pilots would try to stop him. That is why he is attacking the colonies. Again I’m sorry, if I had changed my heart earlier in the situation then this would never had become."
Morgan looked at Quatre with sad eyes.
"Oh god Quatre, what about Lana. I can’t let them kill our daughter."
Misty punched the wall.
"That’s what Relena was trying to get threw in the message, the six peace ministers. Great, now what do we do?"
Trowa looked to Heero.
"Heero it’s your call."
The pilots waited for Heero’s decision. A million thoughts were running threw his head. Heero calmed down and let the training of being the perfect soldier take over.
"Alright, Trowa and Morgan your with me to stop Relena and Derrik. The rest of you will split up and go to the colonies."
The pilots agreed.
A few hours later:
Morgan and Heero had already boarded the jet that would be taking them to the meeting of the peace ministers. Trowa was about to get on when Misty stopped him.
"Trowa wait!"
He got off the step and waited for Misty to get to him.
"What’s wrong Misty?"
"I just wanted to tell you something."
He waited.
"Well, what is it?"
Misty’s mind went blank and she couldn’t find the words.
"I..I wanted to tell you..that..uh that.."
The plane’s engine roared to life.
"Misty I have to go. Just tell me."
She looked at the ground then gave him a fake smile.
"Just that I love you and I’m sorry for punching that girl Grace out."
Trowa laughed at the comment.
"Are you still worried about that? I have to go, I love you too."
He kissed her and got on the jet. Misty watched it take off, she whispered into the air.
"Oh yeah, I’m also going to have your baby."
Misty turned around to her Gundam and shook her head.
"What a wuss."
On earth, somewhere, about two hours later:
Derrik had given Relena her gun and set up the perfect position for all the peace ministers to see Relena kill her own brother. They were on the second level of the building. Relena could see her brother take the podium and greet the ministers. She looked to Derrik and he gave her the okay. Relena slowly got up and lifted her gun, she closed her eyes and whispered.
"Please if there is a God. This can not be done let there be something to stop me."
As if to answer her prayers she saw a gleam in the corner of her eye. Relena turned her head quickly and saw Heero holding a gun at his side. She turned to look at Derrik who had no idea that Heero was there. Relena could see that he was getting suspicious at why she was hesitating When she turned back to Heero, he could see tears in her eyes. Relena mouthed to Heero.
"Save my brother. I love you."
Heero got a confused look at to what she was getting at.
Relena knew that she had to do something to have an excuse to why she couldn’t kill her brother and to stop Derrik. She told herself she would take on the first responsibility if Heero could stop Derrik, which she knew he would. She looked at Heero once more, seeing the confusion in his eyes. Relena closed her eyes and quickly put the gun to by her stomach hoping to miss important organs to live and fired. Heero watched and he felt his heart stop at what Relena did. Her body fell to the ground. He could only say on thing.
"NOOO!!"
