Heero's Pov

It was a shock but not one I didn't want to deal with. My beloved Wufei
had died inside, that's what Duo had said. I had looked to him then to my labtop.

"Duo," I said, Duo looked to me.

"Hai?" Duo asked quietly.

"Could you help Wufei? I have something to take care of," I said.

"Of course but Heero? Be careful," Duo patted my shoulder and left to go
find Wufei. I stood, a mission was coming in, and Wing Zero was going to be
ready soon. I had everything and nothing. Amazing that I could play around
with something so great and still wish for more. I had to talk to Zechs, missions
were piling in, Trowa had left to Oz has a decoy. Wufei and Duo ran off, and
Quatre…left. I had to talk to Zechs.

Quatre Pov

"Docking," I called, the colony docking crew acknowledged and I
sat my ship down. I was to find and destroy all Oz documents on this
colony, which was a lot. I sighed and started on my work, no use
thinking endlessly about what is now in the past. Soon I couldn't think
about anything but chasing around this god-forsaken colony, grrr…

Duo Pov

Well, I got captured, yep the god of death got captured and not just by
myself, Heero and Wufei are in here to. Heero had entrusted me with
Wufei so he just became the jackass and stood there, silent. Wufei
was being ever cranky and the asshole and I was the one who always
gets hurt, but hey at least I know where Trowa is! Man, after that…
remind me to kill Trowa.

"Wufei, a little help here?" I gasp; Wufei sighed and stood then
helped me over to the steps. I looked to him; he looked a little flustered
but still annoyed and pissed off. I didn't think his stick could get any
farther up his ass…

"Wufei, we seriously need to talk," I say, he narrowed his eyes.

"Talk about what? There's nothing to talk about," Wufei growled,
sitting down, I pulled the projector out of my sleeve.

"Well, I don't know, maybe about our relationship for starters,"
I say, switching on the projector and looking through the schematics
to our new and improved gundams. At least I get Deathscythe back.

"What?" Wufei looked to me then back at the new gundams.

"Well, I know about what happened to your colony," I start, Wufei
frowned, closing even deeper into himself.

"I really think I should help you. I know what you're going through,
" I say, Wufei shook his head.

"I highly doubt that, Maxwell," Wufei growled, I stood up.

"Do you think you're the only one who watched the destruction
of their home? Had to deal with it? Well I dealt with it twice, twice
and you see me standing here before you, don't you? Look Wufei,
you are strong, dedicated and extremely beautiful, don't let this
destroy you," I say, kneeling before him and putting my hands on
his knees, he was staring at me.

"I-I," Wufei shook his head and leaned forward then kissed me.
"I guess.." Wufei said, I grinned at him and hugged him. Suddenly
the air stopped flowing.

"Uh oh," I say, looking up at the vents which stopped pumping in
precious air.

"We can't go out like this," Wufei whispered, standing, I pulled my
shackled arms from him and went to the door.

"Yea, we're fighters, we can't just be locked away and die!" I scream
at the door, I then started pounding on it, Wufei sighed and sat
down, turning on the projector.

"Don't waste the air Duo," Wufei called, I panted and turned to him,
I growled and slammed my shoulder against the door one last time
before sitting down next to Wufei.

"Yes oh mighty guru," I say and snuggle against Wufei, he smiled
and leaned back against me.

Zechs Pov

Heero was on his way here, with Wing Zero. I would be afraid if I didn't
know Heero. He landed and jumped out before me, I stared at him.

"You wanted to talk?" I said over the comm, he walked towards me,
working his thrusters perfectly against the moon's gravity.

"Yes, look…Zechs I think it would be best if you-" Suddenly a
pink ship landed next to us and a girl jumped out in a bright pink
space suit, I crossed my arms.

"Relena…what are you doing here?" Heero asked, Relena bounced
up next to Heero.

"I was about to ask my brother the same thing," Relena glared over
at me, I rolled my eyes. Heero sighed and turned to Relena.

"I have job to do, so you hop back into your perfect little world
without me and leave," Heero pointed to her ship.

"But He-" Relena started to protest in her little girl voice, about to
cry. Heero shook his head and just kept pointing, Relena gave one last
sniff and left. She looked back at Heero one last time before leaving. I
sighed and looked to Heero, he looked down then back up at me as
Relena blasted off.

"You were saying?" I gesture; Heero nodded and looked up at me.

"Zechs, I don't think this will work out. Quatre is better for you, way
better then I with ever will be. You should go with him," Heero says,
he takes a step towards me but I back away.

"I understand, Heero…we are now enemies once more," I say,
bowing to him and turning.

"No! Not enemies, I could never think of you that way again," Heero
calls; I look back at him.

"We'll see Heero, we'll see," I say and walk off. Heero sighed, got back
into his gundam and left. Wing Zero did look prefect, perfect for him.

Trowa Pov

I sighed and leaned back, nothing like a beautiful day undercover…the
time has come to talk of many things, many things indeed. I had my
gundam, I had my life and I had myself. What more could a guy want
in the middle of a bloody war with bloodless dolls. They swarm around
you like bees, stinging you but never dying, like they were alive in the
first place. I slammed against another mobile doll, swinging around and
cutting through another, my guns had cut out on me, no bullets, the
story of my life. I snarled and flew up, a few mobile dolls following
until Quatre came to my rescue. He had finished his tiring mission
early and decided to help me. I sighed as the mobile dolls finally
became a junk pile. We then flew back to the Libra.

"Thanks Quatre," I say.

"No problem, any time," Quatre bounded up, gave me a quick hug
and went off, I followed. We were to have the others arrive soon
from other missions. I was called away, I didn't know what hit me.
I thought I was in Quatre's good graces at the time…but I never
knew what hit me. Quatre, zero system, bad combination. I was
almost killed, my memory wiped out. I went to the only place I vaguely
felt familiar, the circus.

Wufei Pov

Well that was one wild ride. After Duo and I got our new gundams we
kicked ass! Quatre somehow went crazy in the Zero system, almost
killing Trowa. His colony was sacrificed to this horrible war and we
lost Trowa. Duo went off to find him. I stayed, trying to help Heero
with Quatre who was on a very large guilt trip.

"Quatre look, this isn't going to get any easier if you keep
wallowing in this pit. I know, I've been there," I say, shaking
Quatre from his blank stare, he looked up at me and smiled slightly,
nothing like his usual sunshine, I shook my head.

"Quatre, try, try for everyone including your self. Don't let this destroy
you," I say and walk off. I practically crashed into Heero. He helped me
up, we stared into each other's eyes for a second before I looked down
and walked by him. What the fuck was that?

Heero Pov

What the fuck was that? I muse to my self, watching Wufei's retreating
back; I then turned and walked into the kitchen where Quatre sat.

"Hey Kat, are you feeling any better?" I asked, grabbing a glass of orange juice.

"Yea, kind of…" Quatre stood. "I'm going to work on Sandrock.
I'll see you later," Quatre looked at me for a second before walking
off. I sighed and sat down, grabbing a TV and turning it on, looking
for the news. Duo had found Trowa and are coming here pretty soon.
We haven't told Quatre anything for some odd reason. I sat back and
stared at the blinking screen, boring…

Quatre Pov

I sighed and stared up at the pristine Sandrock. I had fixed her up
prefect a long time ago. I couldn't stand being in a room longer than
ten minutes with Heero anymore. It just pains me to see him; he seems
so down, so depressed. I've seen the way Wufei and him interacts.
They really do like eachother, maybe even love but neither will come
forward and I've got my own problems. I have to think of something
to say to Trowa. Suddenly the comm comes on, Howard announces
that Duo and Trowa are docking, I turn to the door. Might as well go
down there, he's bound to be really mad at me, better face facts while
I can.

Duo Pov

I looked worriedly over at Trowa. He had totally lost his memory,
won't Quatre be surprised when Trowa doesn't go up to him and
punch him. I sighed and got out followed by Trowa. He seemed
almost on autopilot, like Trowa wasn't even there, creepy.

"Ohayo guys!" I say, bouncing up and hugging each of my crew.

"He's lost his memory," I whisper in Quatre's ear before bouncing off,
leaving those two to talk. This is going to be a long road to recovery,
I can tell already. Quatre looks about ready to either cry or turn into a
tiny leprechaun at the site of Trowa, looking around like he's never
been here before. It really took everything out of my good mood I
had built up for this exact reason. I sighed and pulled Heero and
Wufei away. Those two really needed to talk.

"So, what should we do while those two work out their differences?"
I ask, looking around at my comrades in arms. Wufei looked to me,
smiled slightly then looked to Heero. I could almost feel that incredible
sex drive come out of hiding in Wufei.

"I have a few ideas that I think Wu-man shares," I throw an arm
around the sexy Chinese pilot.

"What?" Heero asks, looking positively beautiful in his confused way.

"Well, there's going to be a lot of angst around here for a while,
what with Trowa and Quatre working out their problems so it's our
duty to keep our selves entertained and out of their way," I say, I
then come forward. I peck Heero lightly on his lips. "Get the drift?"
Heero smirked up at me; he then stood, grabbed me and kissed me
harder. He always did like it rough…

Zechs Pov

"You asked for me your Excellency?" I asked, walking forward,
Treize had arrived in space along with his bitch Une. She had
disappeared for a while now, don't ask me why, I have absolutely
no clue. Treize turned around from staring at the expanse of space.

"Yes, remember once upon a time when we had all the time in the
world with the alliance," Treize trailed off, I looked down, a blush
starting to work up my neck.

"Sire?" I looked back up at him.

"That helmet is such a barrier," Treize sat down, I tilted my head slightly.

"You close yourself off from everything except for one person, one
person at a time that is," Treize steepled his fingers, staring at me.

"I don't believe I'm getting you," I trail off, he gestured for me to sit, I sat.

"Well, we were once madly in love, at least that's how I felt.
Then Heero…now Quatre. Tell me, do you really like playing
with fire?" Treize said, I sat there, completely stunned.

"How did you…" I almost whispered, Treize shook his head.

"I'm not stupid, I'm afraid all that will come from this is mercy to
the enemy. Even though I would like to have you do anything you
wish. They are still dangers to the Oz faction. I'll let this go but only
if you agree to stop this and return to your duties to Oz and me as
your superior. Things are changing fast. As you undoubtedly have noted,
we have been building up arms, a final battle is approaching and I need
your head where it belongs. Am I clear Commander Zechs?" Treize
waited, I nodded.

"I understand sire," I say, standing up and saluting.

"Dismissed," Treize turned back to the stars. I turned and walked out.

"Yes oh mighty slave driver from hell," I snarled, storming down
the corridor. I can't just leave Quatre alone. He said he had a lot
of problems and needed to work them out. He wouldn't be contacting
me for a while, that his mind had to be on beating Oz. Oh how I hate
thee Oz, you should just go back where you came from, Treize
Kushrenada's ego. All this time…all this time he knew. No wonder
he never contacted me unless absolutely necessary. I had contributed
it to just him being to busy with this war…god how ignorant I was. He
was avoiding me, like always when he didn't want to hurt himself or me.
He hated confrontations and now I'm lost in the dust with nothing but
hopes and hates. I slammed my fist into the wall, making the lieutenant
next to me jump, I growled to him and he skittered off. I punched in the
codes to open the hanger to Epyon. I sighed and stared up at her.

Trowa Pov

Well, let's see, losing your memory can really mess up your feelings.
I somehow know I can trust this Quatre unfailingly but then deep inside
me there's this doubt gnawing at the one true emotion I've felt in a long
time. I sighed and sat down; trying to figure out all these feelings until
Quatre came in. He sat down next to me, asked me a question that I
didn't hear. I looked to Quatre and smiled then before I realized it my
hand was up and caressing Quatre's cheek. I drew back hurriedly.
What am I doing?

"Are you alright?" Quatre asked again, I nodded and looked down.

"I'm sorry, truly. I don't know anything anymo-" suddenly an alarm
went off and we stood up.

"All gundam pilots please report to the bridge," Howard's voice
came over the comm and we ran off.

Wufei Pov

I joined Heero and Duo, Duo kissed me passionately, Heero
pulled me up against his side, Duo still had an arm wrapped
around the perfect soldier.

"Let's take this to a bed shall we?" Heero suggested, we
broke off our kiss, Duo smirked and nodded, and we then
walked to Heero's bedroom. Soon we were all naked and
completely in the throes of passion. Heero kissed me, bruising my lips,
stroking my erection. Duo was pressed up against my back, stretching my hole.
I moaned into Heero's mouth and wrapped my arms around Heero's neck.
Duo started entering me as Heero kissed my jaw and then started
sucking on the place where my shoulder met my neck. I threw my
head back against Duo's shoulder, moaning as he thrusted into me.
Heero then went lower and lower…he sucked on my cock, bringing
it far into his mouth, I thrashed my head. That is a lot of sensory,
I pushed back against Duo. He nibbled on my ear and ran his
hand through my hair, making me shiver. I came in Heero's mouth
and Duo rammed into me harder and finally came. Heero looked
up at Duo, their eyes met, I was just coming down from a very
large high.

Heero Pov

I looked deep into Duo's eyes, those arresting violet eyes so
full of emotion. He smiled at me, pulling me into a sweet gentle kiss,
Wufei still between us, almost forgotten. Like that little hell kitten
can be forgotten for long. He stroked my burning cock, wiggling out
between us. I felt Duo underneath me, his hands coming up to wrap
themselves around my neck, digging into my hair. Wufei placed kisses
along my spine and straddling me. Duo's tongue snaked with mine,
sending even more shivers into my nerves. My elbows were on
either side of Duo, holding me slightly above him.

"Tease," I growled, turning around and dragging Wufei to me,
kissing him hard. I bit his bottom lip hard enough to draw blood.
He moaned against me, I sucked on the blood washing in. The
salty taste rushing me farther away from anywhere near rational
thought. Duo rubbed my erection, pumping it. He twisted around
and started sucking on it. I wrapped my arms tightly around Wufei,
feeling everything go away yet get sharper. I battled with Wufei's
tongue. He then broke off the kiss, I cried out as I came in Duo's
talented mouth. Suddenly the alarm went off and we all looked to
the comm. Howard delivered his message and we all hurried to get
dressed. I went up to Wufei and ran my thumb along his split lip,
he looked up at me, a question lurking in his eyes before he backed
away from me and followed Duo out of the door.

Quatre Pov

"What?" I exclaimed, Howard shrugged, this was it. Us against
them and there was no denying it, this had to be the end of it.

"I can pilot, and I will," Trowa put his foot down. Heero delivered
his famous he'll be a dead duck line and I shook my head. There
was no turning back; we needed everybody in this. Finally we
were down in the hanger bay, readying our gundams. I absently
noted Wufei's bleeding bottom lip as I got into the cockpit of
Sandrock and Wufei came on screen to talk to me. We then
got out of Libra and on to what awaited us. I found myself
alone, with out Trowa back to back with me. We were all fighting
our own war here.

Duo Pov

"Fuck!" I cried, cutting through another few mobile dolls,
they were endless. I felt the evil climb from my soul, illuminating
everything around me. I did a flip, kicking a few mobile dolls, they
spun off into space, their main controls damaged. I twisted around,
my scythe slicing easily through the endless amount of dolls. I felt
burning tears slide down my face as I got slammed around
Deathscythe once more. Quatre appeared on my screen.

"Duo-Duo, you're…you're," Quatre was shocked, I snarled and slammed
my saber into another mobile doll.

"Crying?" I growled to Quatre, he shook his head.

"Look for yourself," Quatre pointed, I looked over at a silvered
surface, blood ran from my eyes. I blinked, blood tears? How?

"Look we're going to have to stick together, can you get to me?"
Quatre asked, I looked around for him.

"I think so, be there in a flash," I say, flipping off the comm and
plowing my way to Quatre's side.

Zechs Pov

I couldn't help but look at my Quatre, fighting so valiantly with the
soulless mobile dolls. Suddenly a blast came from behind me and
I turned.

"Ready?" Heero raised his saber, I grimaced.

"Fine, have it your way," I growled, flying towards him. We fought
long and hard against each other, the rest of the world went away
like usual when we were around each other. Nothing matters but
the pain we cause each other, I made another pass at him, he
slammed into me, pulling through my defenses. I growled, feeling
this become deeper, a duel to the death. He was too stubborn to lose
and I couldn't let him get another victory against me.

Trowa Pov

Quatre had asked me to fight next to him, I had my hands full, I knew
what I was doing, I knew it but my brain was working so fast, and I
could hardly keep up. Quatre had even tried shouting at me for
even the smallest response; I looked to him, shook my head and
shut off my comm system. I then went back to fighting. Quatre had
his own battles to fight, I had mine. This isn't over yet, not by a long shot.

Wufei Pov

"Treize!" I screamed, spotting him in among the wreckage of this
grand place.

"Come and get me dragon," Treize taunted. I growled and went
after him. The blowing up of White Fang so minuscule to my fight
against what I came here for.

"Time for you to die," I snarl, sending my dragon arm
out to him, he battered it aside.

"I'm afraid you might be right, dragon," Treize said, coming
to meet me. We then started to fight, I had to hand it to him,
and he didn't hand over his life willingly. He fought valiantly
and for that I hated him even more. My victory over him was
hollow; our victory over this war was spent on the others
and left nothing for me. I couldn't stand it, the shouts of
Quatre over the comm, Heero's and Trowa's silence seemed
peaceful for once. Duo joined in the victory shouting with
Quatre. I leaned back against my chair, I actually felt like I
could cry. I've never felt this way except when my home was
blown up and when Meilan died. Where was the peace? No
where, no where and gone. I shouldn't be here; I should be
gone, away from these noble perfect people. I don't deserve
being anywhere near them; to ruin their perfectness would be
to kill myself. Especially Duo and Heero. The two people I've ever
really thought I could love. I couldn't take it, I just couldn't.

Heero Pov

Before I could get to Wufei, he was gone. He fell to earth like a
meteorite. I felt my heart leave with him, I then looked to the others.
They were going to earth to, following Wufei's example but we
couldn't find Wufei. So I decided to disappear myself, try to maybe
find Wufei myself but he was ever elusive and after a while I found
myself trying to find the others but the only ones I could find was
Quatre and Trowa. Duo had disappeared also to I bent myself on
finding Duo.

Duo Pov

The silly baka, I told you, Heero is a baka, a complete baka. After
I realized Heero had disappeared, well I went to find him but then
it just so happens I realized he was going to find Wufei. Well I don't
know about you but Heero just didn't know how to find the most
elusive man in the universe who was pretty easy to find if you just
looked in the exactly right place. Well when that failed I went to the
next best place, following Heero then I realized he was trying to
find me. I laugh at the face of such a challenge! Well while I was
gleefully running from Heero I suddenly found Wufei, surprise,
surprise.

"Wufei?" I rubbed my hair, walking out of the bathroom, Wufei
looked up from a book, tilting his head, and he looked so damn
kawaii it was impossible.

"Yes Duo?" Wufei asked, looking back down on his book.

"Are you sure?" I asked, I always asked him that question since the
day after I found the broken dragon. He had bought a condo in
Colorado, deep in the mountains and nowhere near a real town,
just an ancient ski town. He was devastated, even when I first
found him. I first cleaned out the old wound, thoroughly mind
you and got him back to where he was before all this Treize, home
destroyed, life destroyed state. And I always asked if he was all
right, hence the are you sure? (You're okay)

"I'm fine Duo, you can stop asking already," Wufei mumbled,
tucking a stray strand of onyx black hair. I finally got him to
wear his hair down and with some volume stuff, some style and
damn he looks sexy…

"What should we do about the hound sniffing around for us?"
I asked, jumping into Wufei's lap, straddling him and pecking
him on his lips.

"Heero? I don't know yet," Wufei pulled me to him and kissed me.

Wufei Pov

I think Duo therapy is the best therapy out there but I wouldn't
share him with anybody but now…I've woken up more than once
with Heero on my mind. I just might be going insane with this slow
paced world but it's good just to feel peace for a while with someone
as abnormal as I am. Duo is a great lover, a great guy and would make
anybody happy, I just think I shouldn't be selfish with this beautiful
dark angel. We keep in contact with Quatre, I don't know but there
might be something there. The way Duo always wants to talk to him,
maybe it's just that I'm boring him. I mean all we do is debate, make
love and sometimes go skiing. I can understand how he can be bored;
I'm bored myself. When Quatre suggested we take our gundams to
the sun…I told Duo to go. I wasn't going to keep him and the hound
was closing in on us. I didn't want to be found by Heero yet. In the
end I couldn't let Nataku go. Duo understood and left, I left also.
To China.

Heero Pov

I sent my gundam off to Quatre; I didn't want to stop searching.
He had said Duo was coming but I wanted to find Wufei also.
Finally it was the time for another war. Another war against a little
girl, somebody must have one messed up mind. I sighed, Duo and
I finally met up.

"Duo…" I tapped Duo on his shoulder, he whipped around and
jumped into my arms. He then kissed all over my face.

"Miss you, miss me?" Duo asked silkily.

"Of course," I return, kissing Duo, he groaned and ground against
me then walked to our ship, I smirked and followed.

Quatre Pov

Everyday was always slightly darker than the last; Zechs' death
was getting to me. When Duo came back, he lightened it up a lot and
then he left, we were to go into another war with a force that had
captured Relena. I was focused now, nothing was wrong with being
distracted from this grief.

"Are you alright Master Quatre?" Rashid asked, I smiled to him.

"Fine, let's get those gundams back, shall we?" I say, climbing into
the ship, my comrades following.

Duo Pov

Heero slammed me up against the metal wall; I wrapped my legs
around him as he sucked on my neck. He grabbed my ass and
kneaded it. I moaned and wrapped my arms around Heero's neck.
He then kissed my lips, pushing his tongue into my mouth; I battled
hard against him, bucking against him. We then slid to the floor,
Heero sat up, straddling me and staring down on me, I smirked up at him.

"Liking the view?" I comment, Heero smiled.

"As always," Heero slid his hand up under my shirt and pinched my
nipple; I gasped and wrapped my arms around him, pulling him
against me. We then stripped off our clothes. He looked around.

"What am I going to use?" He asked, I shook my head.

"Don't really need anything, just do it," I say, pulling him closer to me,
he looked down on me worriedly then started pushing against me
slowly. I growled, rolled over and impaled myself on him. I let
out a hiss and he thrashed his head. I then rocked against him,
he grabbed my cock, and I closed my eyes. He then gained top
and started slamming into me; I moaned and raked my fingers
against his back. He kissed me and filled me up. I came a little
while later. The then pulled out and gathered me to him, kissing
my neck lightly.

Wufei Pov

I knew my peace couldn't last, with out Duo or any of the others
I had no peace. Mariemaya was a prefect excuse to put my life on
hold, my aching self-pitying life. This war was fought but I knew
it was hopeless. Heero helped me realize that and a lot more…

Owari for now…

---------------------------------------------------------

Phoenix: Yea, I know, I might have messed that one up slightly
but I got it done didn't I?

Duo: Well yea, a few things that you forgot from the show but
you can't really be blamed for that.

Quatre: What happens next?

Phoenix: Like I'm going to tell you.

Zechs: Poor Kat…

Phoenix: Don't make me give away more than I should…

Quatre: Man, meanie.

Tracy: Let her get on with the next one and you'll find out, all right?

Phoenix: Thank you Trace, on to the next. Points off to the
horizon on top of a *mountain cliff.*

Tracy: Get off your high mountain and start writing.

Phoenix: To every one else, the next chapter is the last and takes place
after all the wars. Thank you and good night.

NEXT ---> The Dawn
