Author's Notes: Blah..blah,blah,blah..Don't feel much like

see what I mean when you get to that part..soo....*starts walking away*

Just skip this and go on to the story! ^_^

*The Gundam Pilots in the background, staring at her strangely*

Cheska: What?

Duo: You didn't talk a lot as usual before the story..*looks shocked*

Cheska: Yeah well I didn't feel like it!

*Quatre comes up to her and starts feeling her forehead*

*shakes head*

Quatre: She doesn't have a fever..

*Cheska starts fuming*

Cheska: I'm not sick!!

*Heero brings out his gun*

Heero: Who are you and what have you done with Cheska?

*rolls eyes*

Here it is..and I did warn you! *flinches when they start reading

anyways..I think I should find somewhere to hide...*looks around*

 

******************

Last Time:

 

 "One..."Quatre said as he held his breath.

 Heero and Trowa reached for the same wire but Trowa got to it

first and pulls it out.

 

~.~.~Present Time~.~.~

 (If it's the wrong one, we either get blown up in here instead or

the beam will shoot toward Earth and possibly destroy the whole planet.

Another option would be that it's the right one and we all

get out of this safely..)Heero went over in his head.

 

 Trowa pulls the wire out and nothing happened at first. But then a

giant quake erupted beneath their feet, the whole place seemed to vibrate

with life!

 "What's going on?!"shouted Quatre in what seemed to be curiousity mixed

with fear.

 "Awww great!! We're going to die!!"exclaimed Duo.

 Tanis groggily opened his eyes and stared at the X Laser and had a

slight smile playing on his lips and saw a revolver not too far from

where he was positioned at.

 He stumbled up and shook his head before going toward the handgun.

 Wufei stared at Tanis and started forward but his legs failed him

as he collapsed and cursed at his weakened state.

 "Tanis is awake!"Wufei shouted in warning as he rolled to the

side as the vibration worsened.

 They gazed at the man and widened their eyes. Duo couldn't move as

he tried to keep his balance and sucked in his breath as he slammed

against the wall by his injured shoulder.

 Tanis grabbed the gun and was pointing it at Heero Yuy.

 "It seems you didn't get the right wire! Ha! Ha! Ha! That wire

you probably pulled was nothing! The X Laser as I call it will

soon be working and the beam will be sent to Earth in ten

minutes!"chuckled Tanis.

 "X Laser?"Quatre voiced out.

 "X Laser. If you look at the small monitor there, you'll be

able to see Earth and a dotted X is on the screen.  The laser will

shoot directly where the center of the X is at.  The center is

right where the Pacific Ocean is.  Awww...I'm wasting time

here! You get the idea!"babbled Tanis and took out the safety off

the gun.

 

 (What's going on around here?!)Moon said to herself as she

grabbed ahold of the edge of the doorway as she turned.

 She finally arrived at the scene and heard Tanis say ten

minutes.

 (We..only have ten minutes before the laser goes off into

full mode...and it will probably arrive at Earth in at least

a minute, by the power it's generating..)thought Moon.

 Then as she focused her eyes more at Tanis, she noticed the gun

pointing at Heero.

 (Oh Kami! He's about to shoot Heero!)Moon frantically thought

and started running.

 

 "Good bye...01,"stated Tanis as he pulled the trigger and shot.

 "Nooooo!!"Moon shouted and jumped and got hit by the bullet.

 "Serena Usagi...Moon,"Tanis stated in a bit of surprise but his

features returned to normal quickly.

 "Serena!!"all the pilots exclaimed.

 

 Heero stared at Moon, her body collapsing to the ground. He glanced

at her momentarily and then glared at the man who killed her. His

anger was bubbling as he whipped out his gun.

 (How dare he!! Tanis!! You shot Serena!)Heero angrily shouted

within his mind.

 "You will pay!!"Heero growled as he pulled out the trigger and

shot Tanis at the shoulder.

 Tanis drew back and dropped his weapon. Then Heero ran at him

and rammed him to the wall! He punched him at the jaw and then

at the face, making him bleed. Then he saw Wufei's kitana

and grabbed hold of it and sliced both sides of his arms and

at the legs. Tanis gasped in pain and began to fall to the

ground but Heero wouldn't let him have the satisfaction of

lying there as he grabbed Tanis by the neck.

 "You already did enough harm to Serena Usagi..and you made her

suffer...I know it was you who had her captive in that mansion.

I can see it in your eyes when you shot her. Yes, you will

pay..you will,"Heero whispered in a threatening, low tone filled

with ice.

 Tanis stared at Heero's cold, murderous prussian blue eyes and

after a long time of calmness..he felt fear. His eyes widened.

 Heero smirked at the outcome of this old man.

 "You don't deserve to be alive.."Heero growled and dropped

the kitana but was quickly replaced by his trusty handgun.

 He pulled the trigger and shot Tanis through the windpipe, and

the man died. His eyes were wide open and his lips half parted,

blood was gushing out from his windpipe.

Heero dropped the old man to the ground and glared at him before

turning to the body of Moon...Serena Usagi.

 "Serena!"Heero called out as he kneeled down beside her and

saw her struggling to survive.

 "Hold on!"Heero pleaded as he raised her head a bit and onto

his lap.

 The other pilots couldn't do anything but watch their fellow

comrade, kill the bastard who shot one of their own.

 (Kami...why...why'd I do that crazy stunt and save

Heero's life?)Serena thought to herself as her vision blurred.

 Heero kneeled down and picked up her head and placed it onto his lap.

 "Hee..Heero?"Serena softly whispered out.

 "Serena..hang on..you'll live.."Heero stated.

 (Why is he acting so nice...?)Serena thought to herself.

 (he cares about you..)a voice answered inside her mind.

 She blinked and tried to hang on for her life.

 Heero stared down at her, he noticed blood oozing out from her

stomach and knew that she probably wouldn't last long.

 (She can't die! Not when she finally woke up! She just can't!)Heero

frantically thought inside his mind.

 

 Quatre glanced at the monitor and saw the green outline of an

X positioned for Earth.

 (There's only six minutes left..)Quatre noted to himself, then

glanced back at his friends.

 

 "Why did you do that? Why did you sacrifice yourself?!"Heero asked her

as his eyes shined with unshed tears.

 Serena stared up at Heero's prussian blue eyes.

 As she thought about what to answer, glimpses of her past with Heero

came like a wave inside her mind.

 (Do I actually care for him as much as he does me?)Serena asked herself.

 "..I couldn't let you die.."Serena Usagi answered softly.

 "Why not? One life wouldn't matter..especially mine,"Heero questioned.

 "Your life does matter..you promised me that you wouldn't let

Oz win this war. Hotaru told me..she heard you..at least she said

she did,"Serena said.

 (Hotaru? Yes, I remember..I thought she was asleep at the

time..)Heero recalled.

 "You have to survive..you made a vow to me and I want you

to keep it,"Serena whispered out.

 Heero didn't say anything but turned his head away. Serena noticed

this and lifted up her hand..for some reason it was difficult to

do but she managed. She put her hand up to his face and he moved

his head slowly down to face her. Serena Usagi smiled.

 "I don't know why..but I can't see you die. When Tanis was about

to shoot..my heart felt as if it was about to break. During the

short time we've been together..I've grown to like you..maybe

even love you,"Serena told him.

 Heero's eyes widened at the news and then his eyes shined with

love.

 "Ashiteru..Serena,"Heero softly whispered to her as he grabbed

the hand around his cheek and brought it down.

 "Ashiteru...Heero,"Serena whispered back and then her eyes began

to close.

 Heero's heart felt as if it was breaking right now and he closed

his eyes and two streams of tears fell from his eyes.

 "I'll keep my promise to you..Serena,"Heero stated as he slowly

lost his hold of Serena's hand and as he did, her hand fell to the

floor. He gazed down at her form as he stood up and noticed a

hint of silver around her neck. It fell as the quake once again

worsened and a shining pendant of a snowflake was there.

 (Serena..you kept it..)Heero's eyes softened but then hardened as

he turned around.

 "Let's go stop that beam,"Heero stated in monotone.

 The others nodded in agreement.

 

 Duo and Wufei were helped up by Quatre and Trowa, then the five

went off to their gundams and took off toward the front of the beam.

 As they closed in on the machine from outside, they saw the beam

generating a orange and yellow glow.

 "There it is!"Quatre shouted.

 But the beam was going off already and the others reacted quickly

by zooming in toward it.

 "Kami! It's fast!"Duo exclaimed as he missed the beam from where

he was at.

 They continued downward, trying to reach it. Wufei was blasted

by it and as a result blown off course leaving his gundam in serious

damage but he was okay. Quatre couldn't reach it along with Duo.

Now, Heero and Trowa were left as they dove at it but Heavyarms failed

to reach.

 (All these years....)Heero thought as he neared the beam.

 *Flashback*

 Training and closing himself in.

 Hardly speaking.

 Alone.

 The little girl and her dog.

 A fire.

 *End of Flashback*

 (I've closed myself from humanity...and now..)Heero continued.

 *Flashback*

 Meeting the 06 Pilot.

 Seeing her out there by herself.

 Noticing that she was crying.

 Having a conversation.

 *End of Flashback*

 (Now..I met her...Serena Usagi...) Heero said to himself as he turned

and used his Cannon on the beam. The collision caused an explosion

between the two.

 *Flashback*

 Seeing her tied to the chair, she was unconscious and near death.

 Watching her on the hospital bed.

 

 Serena took the bullet for him.

 Struggling to survive.

 Confessing that she loves him.

 *End of Flashback*

 (She's gone now.....gone..)Heero said as he let his defenses down a

bit and the beam was closing in on him.

 

 Quatre saw the attack of the X Laser hit Wing Gundam.

 "Heero!!"Quatre shouted through the communicator.

*****************

 Hotaru and the scientists watched the television set that

broadcasted the laser beam and the Wing Gundam.

 "The beam has been intercepted momentarily by the Gundam.

Let's just hope that Earth still has a chance to

live on,"the broadcaster announced.

 Just then Wing Gundam was letting his defense down and the

beam blasted into it.

 "Oh no!"Hotaru gasped.

 "What's going on out there!"Dr. M exclaimed.

 (I know he can defeat that beam..but what's holding

him back?)Hotaru asked herself as she continued to

watch.

****************

 Heero was woken from his thoughts as he was hit from the laser

and the shout from Quatre.

 Just then he remembered what his promise was.

 "I..promised you, didn't I? You told me I had to survive...

and..I need to keep it.."Heero muttered to himself as he narrowed

his eyes and brought up his mask.

 His eyes darkened and he glared daggers at the beam in front

of him as he put up his large shield. Then Wing Gundam raised

its cannon once more and blasted it into full power.

 "I won't allow Oz to win! Not now! Not ever!"Heero exclaimed.

 The blast connected with the other and a large explosion surrounded

the Gundam. He continued pouring out the beam from his cannon

and the other was starting to let go.

 (Just hang on for a few more seconds..)Heero said to himself.

 

 His fellow pilots watched in awe as they gazed at their fifth

member.

 "He's determined.."Wufei commented.

 "..."Trowa responded.

 The others did the same, their voices lost from them.

 (Serena...you surrendered yourself to let him live..)Duo said

inside his mind as his once shining indigo eyes was faded into

sadness.

 (...Serena..)Quatre thought to himself as his mind wandered

as well to the time at the park and she told him not to call

her with formality, his eyes started to shine with unshed tears.

 

 The cannon from Wing Gundam was starting to fade away and once

it did, all Heero could do was use his shield but it didn't work

as he was blasted away but left in tact.

 The beam continued downwards to Earth. All the five pilots

could do now was watch in vain as the attack was getting nearer to

Earth.

 (I..I..)Heero said inside his mind.

 

****************

 "The beam is continuing toward Earth!"the announcer exclaimed.

 "Kami...it can't!"Dr. O gasped.

 The others watched the beam get nearer to Earth.

 (No..)Hotaru thought as she averted her gaze from the set.

***************

 The laser went down, down into the atmosphere but as it was about

to break through the Earth's atmosphere it started fading away.

 The five pilots let out a sigh of relief aside from Trowa who

didn't say anything and Heero just kept up his mask of indifference.

 "We did it.."Quatre announced with relief.

 "Yes, we did,"Duo agreed.

 "Let's go home.."Quatre let out and started for Earth.

 

 Heero gazed back at the Moon and then toward Earth and followed

his comrades.

 (Ashiteru...Serena Usagi.)Heero whispered within his mind.

*****************************

 The pilots returned back to Earth and at the base. Hotaru came

out to greet them all along with the other scientists. The day was

clear and beautiful with the blue sky and the warm sunshine.

 "You're back!"greeted Hotaru with a smile.

 They nodded to her and the others.

 Hotaru stared around and noticed that one of them were missing.

 "Where's Serena?"Hotaru inquired, fearing about what might meet her.

 "..she's..she's gone,"Quatre answered, averting her gaze.

 "What?"Hotaru softly asked.

 "She took a bullet for Heero back at the Moon base,"Wufei told her.

 "No..."Hotaru couldn't believe her ears as tears started to spill

from her eyes.

 Dr. M came forward and comforted the young girl.

 "You can't let this get to you, Hotaru..it is one of the bad

sides to life,"Dr. M whispered to her.

 "I know, you're right..Dr. M..,"Hotaru croaked as she wiped the tears from

her eyes.

 She eyed the G-pilots momentarily and then turned around, starting

to walk back inside.

 "We need to get you treated, practically all of you are wounded.

Go to the ward and I shall be with you shortly,"Hotaru stated with

a mature manner.

 The scientists nodded to the pilots to listen to her before going

back inside as well.

 "She's taking this quite well.."Duo commented.

 "I know.."Quatre agreed and went back inside as soon as they put

the Gundams inside the base.

 

To be continued...
