Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Judgment ❯ Judgment ( Chapter 1 )
[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
Judged.
I was in Deathsycthe, fighting wall upon wall of OZ gundams before it happened. Before I was sucked away, deep into the under world. Where only there were flames and rock. Where ever I was I wasn't in my Gundam anymore. I looked out at my surroundings. I tried to get some vague description as to where I was. This place was scary. Dead bodies and skeletons littered the floor. The smell was something awful. I couldn't help but feel that sense of panic in my stomach. It ached horribly.
Where was I? How did I get myself into such a mess? I was so confused and utterly terrified. What do I have to fear? I am the God of death! Or so I thought... The ground started shaking violently, I fell to my knees. Being as clumsy as I am I managed to land my knee on a rather sharp edged rock.
"Great! I swear I can be so clumsy at times..." Duo said out loud. I failed to notice the huge thrown that had risen from the ground, well that didn't last long...
"Shinigami. That is what you often call yourself. Am I correct?" An odd, authority toned voice asked him.
Duo looked up, his jaw almost dropping to the cool black stone that was underneath him. His voice trembled as he spoke "Ye--Yes. That is co-rrect." Duo looked at, or into, the person who addressed him. This guy was blue and almost clear. He was wearing a huge black robe. He had a normal human body, except for that fact he was freaking enormous!
"People also call me-..." Duo began to say.
"SILENCE! You will only speak when you are spoken to!" One of the guards barked. They were dressed in bright red robes, their heads were not seen. They didn't even seem to standing on the ground. They held deadly looking scythes.
I let out a small squeak then shook my head "Okay." I realized there was a cat walk in front of me, flames and lava on each side of it. There were no barriers to keep you from falling into it. I gawked at it.
"I am one of the Three Judges of Death, Aeacus. The other two judges are not here. I do not wish to know what people also call you. I will simply call you Shinigami for the time being. If you have any questions I will except them now. Proceed."
''Where the hell am I?" Duo shouted not wasting anytime, he spat his words quickly.
"Hell is precisely where, Shinigami."
"Just peachy." Duo grumbled while running a hand down his face.
"No. Just hell."
"It's a saying." Duo said while standing up, his bones groaned in his legs.
"Any other questions, or sayings?" Aeacus asked. He never quite shook that authority tone.
"Where is my Gundam? Why am I here? Who sent me? Can I ever go back? I must be dreaming. That's it, I'm just dreaming! Heero wake me up!!" Duo said his voice growing stronger with each of his panic stricken words.
"Silence! There is no Heero here. You aren't dreaming. Your gundam is back on Gaea. You are here simply to build an opinion on. Hades sent you. We shall see if you go back my dear boy." Aceamus said, calmly answering all of Duo's questions.
"No Heero? This really is hell." Duo muttered and actually managed a smile, then it quickly faded. What if he never went back to see Heero? He wouldn't ever get the chance to tell him that he loved him! No! He wouldn't think that, not now.
"You will first meet the Three Furies, Alecto, Megaera, and Tisiphone. I wouldn't upset them if I were you."
A dim light erupted around me, it grew darker when I transferred to a place where there was only fire. I could stand on the flames without burning. Interesting. It was still hot though. Three black shadows hung in the air.
"Welcome Shinigami." A voice boomed, you could tell it was the middle one because it rippled when it talked.
Duo was silent, he didn't want to say anything without being spoken to.
"You are wise not to speak, Shinigami. I am Alecto." It spoke.
"I am Megaera." The one on my left spoke, it's voice a little less threatening. It also sent off less ripples.
"I am Tisiphone." The one on my right spoke. His voice sounded almost like Zech's. It's ripples were thinner and longer.
"You are going to be questioned. We know little about you humans. You are the one that decides if all of the human race lives or dies. We will base our opinions on you. If we see that you are not poisoned and evil, like most of the people we know of, you will be set free and our doubts of humans will vanish." Alecto said, sounding as his he abhorred all humans. He was going to be the hardest to please.
"You will have saved all the humans. No one will see you as a hero on earth, because they will not know what you did for them. Saving the humans has it's bad sides. You won't stop the destruction of the earth by pollution. You won't stop the major wars. Peace will never exist. You do have some choices, but not many. Many of them are hard. We will see what happens." Megaera said, he was the only one showing emotion. He seemed almost like Quatre.
"You will have saved everything that ever meant anything to you. You would have saved this Heero of yours. You'll still have your gundam. And all of your memories. You will be alive." Tisiphone spoke, his voice was so rich, it seemed to lull you.
"So what say you?" They all asked in perfect unison.
"I will fight for the humans, as I have fought for peace." Duo stated.
"Very well, Shinigami....." Alecto said.
Duo was once again sucked into the light and taken to nothing. The only thing he could see was the sky, in which he was stationed in. He couldn't move anything but his head.
He looked up, in the sky was a beautiful face of a woman. The lines of her face were the only thing visible, her hair was ever flowing. The sky was a dark purple and blue. It took his breath away. He always appreciated the sky.
"I am Aether. Person of the sky. It's very nice to meet you, Shinigami." Aether said, her voice was as sweet as honey.
Duo said nothing, that made her giggle.
"You can speak Shinigami." Aether said.
"What am I here for?" Duo said, his voice showing less and less signs of being scared.
"You know why you are here. I am simply going to ask you some questions. You are not required to talk. I can read your thoughts."
This upset Duo. He didn't want a stranger poking through his oh so precious mind.
"Don't worry, Shinigami.. everything will be all right..." Her voice trailed off, and he was suddenly very sleepy.
She probed through his mind. Looking for how he came into this world, what was he doing on the earth, was he happy, who was his friends? She was met with a horrible scene. Complete destruction of a building. It looked like a church. Bodies of small children were scattered around. The only survivor was a little boy, who was clutching a woman and crying. 'It was Duo' Aether thought sadly. She probed on....She could see a gundam, it's scythe cutting through everything that got in it's way. It was war. Duo was a warrior. She probed on more..... Duo sat in a cell. He was bleeding and unconscious. A boy, that looked no older than 15, carried Duo out. He had rescued him. She probed on.... She saw 4 boys. One was the same boy who rescued Duo. His name was Heero. Standing next to him was a Chinese boy named Wufei. Standing next to Wufei was a tall, slender boy with wild bangs, named Trowa. Next to Trowa a sweet looking boy with pale skin and blonde hair. His name was Quatre. So these were Duo's friends? Was Duo happy? She probed on..... Yes, indeed. He seemed to be happy.
"Wake up Shinigami!" She shouted
His eyes fluttered open. "What did you do to me?" He demanded.
"Oh nothing. That's not important. I am satisfied. You may leave." And with that Duo was transported to another part of this strange world.
Wherever he was, it was cold there! The winds blew like crazy. At Least he was standing on the ground, right?
"Shinigami...." An eerie voice said, the wind seemed to blow harder, that chilled him straight to the bone.
4 angry voices blew by him, piercing his ears. He couldn't help but to fall to the ground and cup them in his chillingly cold hands.
"You are a monster!" The wind from the North accused.
"Do you enjoy killing the innocent and having their blood on your hands!?" The wind from the South asked.
"Thou are most evil!" The wind from the East bellowed.
"How do you live with yourself?" The final wind that blew from the West questioned him.
The winds slowly became nothing more than a cruel whisper.
"Why do you fight young Shinigami?" A voice said with Japanese background.
"I fight for the peace of the Earth and Colonies." Duo said getting up and dusting his knees off.
A small man walked cautiously towards Duo. He had long black hair, strands of gray and white were clearly seen. His hands where hidden in the sleeves of his oversized robe. He stopped a foot in front of Duo, he used the two fingers from his left hand that made a peace sign, and placed them were Duo's eyebrows began.
Duo could feel nothing, but yet the old man seemed satisfied.
"I am Aeolus. Keeper of the winds." The old man said, his voice was indeed wise. The winds blew around him, but he was unaffected.
"You fight for peace Shinigami? Yet war is farthest from peace. Does this make sense to humans? Because we down here see it pointless. You can never change people by forcing them. They will always rise as you have." Aeolus spoke clearly and calmly.
"I do fight for peace. War is farthest from peace, yes I know. The outcome will be peace. THIS does make sense to humans. You CAN change people for the better." Duo said, he was getting angry at these question. Aeolus didn't ask anything else. Duo was just simply tossed away like a piece of trash.
He was transferred to a beautiful beach with white sand and the water as clear and blue as Aeacus. Aeacus was hardly this beautiful, duo smirked.
Three beautiful women sat on the shore. Of course women didn't appeal to Duo.
"Over here!" One of them chirped.
Duo walked slowly over to them, he suddenly felt very exhausted.
"Hi, I'm Aglaia." The same one that called him over said. She had long blonde curly hair. Piercing green eyes. And a milky skin tone, a little darker that Quats. She was beautiful like the other two.
"I'm Euphrosyne." The one on his right said. Her voice was a bit deeper and mysterious. She had thick black hair a bit shorter than the blondes. Her eyes we cobalt blue, just like Heero's. Her skin was definitely whiter that Quatre's, if that was possible.
"You can call me Thalia." The one on his left said. Her hair was brown as were her eyes. Her skin was a beautiful tan color.
"What questions are you going to be asking me?" Duo came right out and said it.
"Are you hungry? Thirsty? Anything?" Aglaia asked. This surprised him.
"What you are going to ask me a dozen questions about my morals?" Duo asked, plainly mad.
The girls just looked puzzled by the sudden lash out.
"I am a little thirsty though." Duo finally said, breaking the uncomfortable silence
No sooner than he finished he was sitting in a comfy lounge chair, a cold fruit drink in his hand.
"Thanks." Duo said skeptically but quickly attacked the yummy looking drink.
"So, Shinigami..." Thalia started.
"Lemme guess, you try to be all nice to me until finally you attack me with questions?" Duo accused, he put both of his hands behind his head and closed his eyes.
"Don't be silly!" Euphrosyne said and giggled.
"We just want to know what you do for fun!" She said again smiling brightly.
"Suure you do." Duo said skeptically.
"No really!" Thalia asked.
" Oh all right, if your sure that's the question you want to ask. I like to eat, sleep, read manga, tease my friend wufei, annoy Heero (while secretly I just do it to be close to him).I'll take any reaction out of him." Duo said smiling, though his heart ached for Heero and his friends.
"Your gay?" Aglaia flat out said, she was clearly upset.
"Hum, I never thought of it as being titled. It's just love." Duo said.
"Fair enough." Aglaia said with a small humpf.
"I think that's great Shinigami!" Thalia said with that beautiful smile of hers.
Duo's eyes flew open and he just stared at her until he let a smile sneak up and SURPRISE HIM!
"What do other people do for fun?" Aglaia asked.
"People like to read, listen to music, play sports, go shopping, write, role play... There's a lot more. I could go on for hours." Duo said, he's afraid of what the next question was going to be.
"You've got time. Go ahead!" Thalia said. As cheerful as ever. Now he knew how the other's felt when he did this. So he started going on and on and on.......................
_____________________________________________ ____________________________________________________
.........Cook, clean, play with dolls, kill people..." Oops that one slipped. (heh heh)
Aglaia was asleep, drool was coming from her mouth. Euphrosyne was just on the verge of sleep. Not Thalia! She was as wide awake as ever.
"WOOWWW That's soo KEWL!! Anything else?" She asked. Duo cringed, she was so much like Relena it was scary.
"Nooope. That's it." Duo said, his patience was no where to be found.
"You can go! Thanks for the info Shinigami babe." She winked and he was transported back to where he started.
Everyone was there. The wind keeper, the person of the sky, the three graces (thalia, aglaia, euphrosyne...), and Aeacus.
Ohhh wonderful!! Big happy family...all together again.
"Shinigami, step forward." Aeacus said. His mood had changed from bad to worse.
Duo stepped forward.
"Shinigami, the human race is filled with disease, death, hate, and pollution. The human's are the only things that kill each other out of hate. Your humans will never see peace. So what are you fighting for? Does this comfort you? Opinions run your civilization. You are based upon one person, so you think. I truly see no point in continuing with you inferior humans." Aeacus' voice sounding more that just disgusted.
"But the humans race is also filled with happiness, Warmth, family, friends, and pacifists. The pacifists do try their hardest to keep the world and colonies at peace. Their opinions will never be the main ones sadly. The human's evil and good are balanced. That is why you have survived for so long. It all evens out. You are seen equal in the eyes of the gods. You have passed Duo Maxwell. Pilot of Deathsycthe and Deathsycthe Hell. Friend of Heero Yuy, Chang Wufei, Quatre Winner, and Trowa Barton. Bringer of peace.....
Everything seemed to fade away...his life was playing before his eyes as he was being pulled from this world.
His eyes fluttered open. He was in a hospital bed. Heero had both of his hands holding one of Duo's, he was asleep though. His head nuzzled next to Duo's hip.
Trowa was leaning against the wall, his only visible eye closed. 'How did he sleep like that?' Duo asked himself. Quatre was curled up in an uncomfortable looking chair next to Trowa. They were soo damned cute together! Wufei seemed to have slid down the wall. He was sitting on the floor, his head cocked to the side. Some of his hair had fallen out of his pony tail. He actually looked innocent asleep.
Duo stirred, which caused Heero to wake up.
Heero snorted and looked up into Duo's shining violet eyes. They shared what Duo called "a moment" when they seemed not to say anything, words couldn't express their feelings that mingled together. That was just fine with Duo.
Quatre woke up suddenly from a nightmare. He looked at Duo and Heero.
"DUO YOUR AWAKE!!" Quatre yelled, everyone woke up after that.
"Miss me?" Duo joked, his trademark grin spread across his face.
"Duo if you ever scare me like that again, Omae o Korosu!" Heero growled.
"Hello Maxwell. Welcome to the realm of the living." Wufei said as he scrambled up off the floor and stretched.
"Hello Duo. Finally awake I see." Trowa simply said. Good 'ol Trowa.
"You were in a coma for a week." Heero said. 'Didn't seem that long.' Duo thought
"It was a week to long if you ask me." Duo said and smiled only at Heero. He squeezed his hand, in which Heero didn't yet let go of.
Heero just stood there, a sort of puzzled look on his beautiful face. Duo now knew Heero loved him. 'Even if it took a near death experience...' Duo thought.
The end.
I was in Deathsycthe, fighting wall upon wall of OZ gundams before it happened. Before I was sucked away, deep into the under world. Where only there were flames and rock. Where ever I was I wasn't in my Gundam anymore. I looked out at my surroundings. I tried to get some vague description as to where I was. This place was scary.

"Miss me?" Duo joked, his trademark grin spread across his face.
"Duo if you ever scare me like that again, Omae o Korosu!" Heero growled.
"Hello Maxwell. Welcome to the realm of the living." Wufei said as he scrambled up off the floor and stretched.
"Hello Duo. Finally awake I see." Trowa simply said. Good 'ol Trowa.
"You were in a coma for a week." Heero said. 'Didn't seem that long.' Duo thought
"It was a week to long if you ask me." Duo said and smiled only at Heero. He squeezed his hand, in which Heero didn't yet let go of.
Heero just stood there, a sort of puzzled look on his beautiful face. Duo now knew Heero loved him. 'Even if it took a near death experience...' Duo thought.
The end.
