More Warnings: 1x2
.Scathed Light.
And The Clouds Parted
I don't mind it. I'll live off your memory
forever. And when I reflect back on it, I'll
be filled with warmth. I never knew what warmth
was. I'd never tasted it. But you changed that.
And for that.. I love you..
Duo had made it into the facility. It was so easy. Almost too easy. Such a shame too, he was looking forward to a good fight. Heero get's all the fun. He mused. He couldn't believe Heero was still fighting against that measly, ten man fleet. The doors shut behind him as his Deathscythe descended down the entry hall. It appeared to be a mobile suit storehouse, filled with empty, inactive models stored in stands. It was almost dark, almost obscure. There were the faint lights in the back towards the elevator. Empty lifts and moving cars. Funny, no one is working in here. He suspected that in alarm they all might have evacuated. This was good. It made his job much easier. He tapped at the buttons on his radio. "Heero? Quatre?" Just static returned.
In a moment of panic his eyes flew up to the small screen where Heero was displayed. It was gone. What happened to Heero? For communications to break down with Heero, he must have been in trouble. But for communications to go down with Quatre? Something was wrong. Deliberately wrong. Screw the mission. Heero went back to save me, and I'm going to do the same for him. Deathscythe began to turn around for the door, but on his screen were the beeps of enemy's detected. He checked to see how far in the radius they were. "Enemy detected 15 feet away." Fifteen feet? But that's just right besid- Duo couldn't even finish the thought as he turned to face the storage room. The area, which was once a lifeless storeroom, was now teeming with the lights flashing in the eyes of active mobile suits.
"You have twenty seconds to surrender before we open fire," commanded one of the voices. Duo clenched his teeth. It was far too dark. They had an advantage, and he was trapped. His hands gripped tightly to the controls. If he was going to go down. He'd go down fighting. His scythe's glow strengthening as he held it in front of his suit defiantly. Duo stance his suit to be ready as the mobile suits began to count down, each slowly approaching Duo. Believing that he is planning to surrender. "Your twenty seconds are up! Fire at will!" One mobile suit lifted it's gun to open fire on Deathscythe, but before he could get up his gun, Duo had thrown his blade down against it. Searing the metal of the mobile suit right down the middle before it exploded, blowing back a few of it's comrades.
"I am Shinigami!"
Duo sliced his weapon through the next one easily.
"And the judge has ruled a death sentence to each of you!"
Duo lifted his scythe to parry off a mobile suit that neared him, slamming the blunt of it straight through the mobile suit, causing it to crash against the ground in a heap, an Oz soldier fleeing from the broken mobile suit until another fell on top of the retreating man. With a swift movement, Duo began fighting off a surround of five, but more kept coming. How were they all getting in? There must have been another door. Duo began to back his gundum up. Each blast he took slammed his gundam further back. The area was too small for him to maneuver. He could blow up his gundam. That would blow up everyone and the computer too. If.. there even had been a computer.
"D-" A scrambled voice tried to say.
The braided boy winced as Deathscythe took another blast to it's side, near slamming Duo to the ground. He lifted his eyes to glance to the small screen. Heero was coming back into focus. Duo quickly fumbled for the radio button. "Heero! Heero? God, Heero, I'm trapped in here!"
"D- trap- de- do- s-" Heero tried to say, the radio scrambling. The visual was getting better though at least. As each blast threatened to break down Deathscythe he reached the door. He wouldn't waste energy trying to open it. He knew he couldn't. "Duo!" Growled Heero as the radio became clearer. Duo's eyes flew back to the screen. Heero looked angry. I screwed up again. "Back in a trap, I always mess up," Duo said with a faint smile. "Baka! I fell into a trap as well. We all did." Heero was wincing between his transmissions, obviously he was still fighting. Duo slashed his scythe forward, hooking against a mobile suit before he sliced it open, the mobile suit toppling to the floor before it exploded. "Heero, you have to get out of there!" Duo yelled, shifting his gundam to avoid a blast. "Shut up! I'm not leaving without you!" The Wing Pilot practically hissed, his body flinching from the attacks. He cares about me? A slow smile touched Duo's face weakly, "Look, I appreciate the concern, but Heero, let's not loose two pilots over this. Abort."
Heero glared firmly at Duo, his teeth tightly locked together as his stare was holding rims of such malice and anger, "Get this straight Maxwell. I'm never going to give up on you." "Heero?" "Duo! I'm going to get you back. No matter what it takes-" The screen began to scramble again, Duo letting out an exasperated breath, his eyes widening. He began to pound against the controls, nothing was working, and he was getting surrounded. His mind was spinning! Was Heero okay? If Heero tried to get there he'd be trapped too. There were too many suits! Duo's voice began to break, his fingers quivering. "Heero! Heero no! Ai- ai.. ai shiteiru!" Duo screamed out, choking on his words as he felt tears burn behind his eyes. He couldn't cry. He felt the need to, but he just couldn't. He lifted his sleeve to wide his nose. If he was going to die. He'd drag them all to hell with him. Heero, this is the only way I know you'll be safe. This is a death trap. Duo tapped a red button, his features turning strangely calm as listened to the computer. "Self Destruct in ten seconds-" It was strange. Once again. Only he could take his life. What was even stranger was the fact that he heard silence in his mind. The mobile suits firing at him just a blur in his vision. He felt so peaceful. Fufilled.
"I can die happy. I'm not afraid of it. Because for one night-"
"You're mine Shinigami. Completely mine."
"For one moment-"
"I know your pain shinigami, the horns on my head are the same as yours, and we're wicked."
"For a time-"
"Damn you Heero Yuy! Damn you to hell!" "Nanda?"
"We were one. Yes Heero. I do love you. I know this now with my full heart, and that is why I can die happy. Though I never said it. In your arms is where I always want to be Heero.. and even if I end up burning in hell for all eternity, I'll live on the moment.. and taste heaven. Ai shiteiru, Heero. Ai shiteiru.."
"5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1.."
There was a light on the horizon as the facility exploded. A smoke cloud that reached the skies. Strangely.. the clouds had parted.. the sun was shining.
This is really short again, ne? O_o Oh well.. (De ja vu?)
