Chapter Four: Who or What Was That?

"Alright, that was definitely not what I was expecting
to find." The boy with purplish eyes and long brown braid sighed to himself as
he looked in the door or the Libra's main prison cell. Staring back at him were
the five men who had started his whole career as Duo, the God of Death. He
looked them over and saw no physical injuries, instead each with a smug grin
across their faces, like cats who knew a big secret.

" So, what do you all know that makes you smile in
the middle of a massacre?"

" Duo. You've made it this far. I expect then, that you'll
help us out of here so that we may accomplish what we need to do?"

" Do I have a choice in the matter?"

" Not really. Sai is too busy, as is Hiiro. Besides. Hiiro
would have already killed us. We don't want to take that chance, now do we?"

" Huh? Oh, right. Okay, let's go."

~~~ On the Field~~~

"Damn you Treiz!" Shouted the boy in the green and white
suit when he saw that Treiz Kushrenada was dead. He looked up at his old enemy
and a single tear fell. Then, he saw the buster rifle from Wing Zero being
picked up. The odd thing was that though he saw the buster rifle moving, he
could not place how it was doing so, for there was seemingly no one holding it,
and it certainly could not move on it's own.


" Quatre, Trowa, Duo, do you read?" Three screens
appeared on his.

" I'm here Wufei, what's wrong?" Asked the blonde.

"What's the buster rifle doing?"

" Huh?" Asked the brown haired one known as Trowa.

" Yeah, I second that huh? Have you lost it or what
Wu-man?"

" Maxwell… kisama…look at the … wait, there it goes!" All
four pairs of eyes followed the buster rifle as it was picked up. Then
something behind it ignited an engine and started towards the section of Libra
that was still falling towards Earth. A voice came in over all lines, even the
secure ones, and rang out in the ears of the pilots, confusing them even more.

"Behind you, pilots. As for you, here Wing Zero, I think
you could use this." The buster rifle fell to Wing Zero, and as suddenly as the
voice had appeared, it was gone, with no traces of where it had come from.

"What does that mean, behind you? Does he mean
behind us?" Asked the blonde.

" I don't know Quatre, but we're gonna…watch it Wufei!"
Just before a mobile doll was able to hit Wufei from behind, it was destroyed.

" Who? What?"

" I don't know, but whoever it was over the air waves was
right. Look, there's a whole section or mobile dolls that haven't been
stopped!" Cried Quatre.

" Someone is fighting them already, but I don't see
anyone." Added in Trowa.

" Well, then, looks like this is a job for the God of
Death! Here I go!" And with that, the pilots charged into the fray.

Slicing and dicing the mobile dolls like they were a piece
of meat to be carved for the dinner table was becoming harder for Sai. She had
done her job and given Hiiro the buster rifle, but she was still having trouble
handling a mobile suit. In her all black Taurus, the mobile suits could still
track her once they locked onto her heat. Just as she stabbed one through the
gut of it's metal stomach, another one slashed down on her from above. Just as
it was about to destroy her, it was cut at from the side. Breathing a huge sigh
of relief, she looked at the Gundam that had saved her life. She saw Wing Zero
next to her, and just now joining him were the other four. Sai turned and
looked at the coordinates of where Earth should be. There was still an Earth to
look at. Mission complete.

The pilot of Wing Zero stared at the all black Taurus, the
one he had just saved from total destruction. He saw it turn to check on Earth.
Yes, he had done it. And to think he had nearly failed. But he hadn't. Suddenly
a thought came to him.

~~~ Four Minutes Earlier~~~

Hiiro had just finished with Zechs, and needed to destroy
the block of Libra before it crashed into Earth. The only option he had it this
point was to self-detonate next to the block and hope that it would be
partially destroyed so that damage to Earth was minimal. Just then, out of no
where a voice filled his cockpit: "Behind you, pilots. As for you, here Wing
Zero, I think you could use this." Then his buster rifle fell into his hands,
and he had a new option that did not include taking his life. He knew he would
survive, just as Earth.

When he had finished with the Libra block, he saw his
comrades still battling left over dolls. A dark blur was quickly taking out the
far right side, while the others were concentrated on the left and in the
center. He saw the doll sneak up on the all black suit, and decided he would
help.

~~~Present~~~

This black suit that he had saved must have been the one
to give him is buster rifle. The pilot had saved his life, and now his debt was
repaid. As he stared at the new suit, he saw that it was in bad shape, and
wondered if the pilot was alive anyway.

" Hey Hiiro!" He heard a voice call out. Though the
Perfect Soldier would not admit it, it was great to here the vice of his fellow
pilots.

" Hello Duo." He decided to answer.

" Let's get back to Peacemillion, we can discuss things there."
Said the ever steady Trowa.

" Right." He replied.

" Hey, Hiiro, invite the mystery pilot too! Hey! Where'd he
go?"

Duo was right. In place of the beaten and black suit was
nothing but empty space. He was gone. 'Guess he wasn't dead after all.'

~~~Peacemillion~~~

"So then, the war is over?"

" Yes woman, the war is over."

" It's Sally, Wufei."

"Yeah Wu-man, get the girl's name right, otherwise you'll
confuse Hilde, Relena, Noin, and Catherine with whose name 'woman' is."

" Maxwell! Kisama!
I'm going to katana off that braid of yours you baka!" With that, Wufei
took off after Duo, and after them went Hilde and Sally to try to break up the
fight.

" It's amazing that even though peace has been
achieved, those two still fight."

" Miss. Relena, we should go to bed. It's too late to
start preaching about peace now."

"Yes, you're right Noin. Good night everyone. Catherine if
you want, we'll show you to a room now too."

" Sure. Coming Trowa?"

" Sure Cathy." As the two exited the room, a doctor came
in and told the remaining Hiiro that Quatre was just fine, and that Dorothy
Catalonia was here and wanted to know if she could speak to Quatre. After Hiiro
gave his consent and the doctor left, he sat facing the window into space.

Space was empty, quiet, and filled with scorched debris
that floated by the window every so often. Hiiro sat and thought of the war.
How it started, his battles with Zechs, his problems with Relena, and the end
of the war. He wondered if Zechs was really dead, and where Treiz had gone, heaven
or hell. Then he thought about the black Taurus he had saved and wondered if
the pilot was somewhere still out in space. He thought of the Doctors, all in
the rooms on Peacemillion asleep. They had been the catalysts to the Gundam
Pilots. He wondered if there was anyone else that thought about these things,
or if he was alone in thought.

Sai sat in her mobile suit on the moon. She was cold and
hungry, tired and injured. Profusely bleeding from her arm and side, she barely
had enough strength to contact Doctor J to tell him where to pick her up. Then
she sat and thought of the war. How Doc J had trained her, how she had had
problems piloting mobile suits, how 01 had saved her life, how she missed her
family. She wondered if she was alone in thinking on the night that the war
ended.*
