Prologue: Final Goodbyes:

-Flashback-

"Solo! I got it, Solo! I got the medicin. Everything'll be alright now. The other's are ok, and there's still plenty left for you! Come on, Solo. Solo? Come on, wake up....please...." The five year old boy with wide violet-indigo eyes and long, tangled, messy chestnut brown hair pleaded with the slightly older seven year old boy with dirty blond hair and kind, usually bright green eyes, who lay on the ally floor, proped up against an old box, a raggy, dirty blanket covering him.

"....Du...o? I knew you'd.....do it kid.....You're strong...Didnt think I'd....leave ya.....like that without....a good-by...e did....ya?" He wheezed quietly, coughs racking his too-skiny frame.

It was AC185, L2, the time of the plague. Supposidly Earth-Sphere Alliance soldiers had started it, to 'get rid of the street-rats'. Only the rich could afford the cure. No-hope for a pennyless gang of war-orphened street-rats like them. If it wasnt for Duo, the gang leader's adopted little brother and protagee, they'd all have been long gone by now...

Duo, the only one in their little gang that hadn't caught the plague, had risked his life sneaking into a near-by military camp to 'borrow' the antidote for them. They'd all gotten better, all accept the only one who really mattered, all accept for him....Solo....

"Come on, Solo, every thing'll be alright. I got the medicin. Please, Solo, ya gotta get better! I...I can't do anything without you! Please, Solo....." Duo begged, eyes watering, as he poured the medicin into his surrogant big-brothers mouth.

"Duo...I'm sorry, but....it's too....late.... for me.... You have to.....be strong....for the others.....and....for...me...remember, little brother.....I'll always....be with you....." Solo promised, as Duo started sobbing, clutching at his hand, as though that would stop him from leaving him.

"Dont cry.....remember.....big boys....dont...cry...." Solo wispered, wiping Duo's tears away. "Go....go now... take the others....somewhere safe.... The solders.....will be....coming soon.... You have to....get the others....away from here... I'll see you...again sometime....bro...." Solo promised, pushing the sobbing boy away, watching as his little brother ran, gathering the rest of their little ra-tag family, doing as he said, and taking them to safety.

-End of flashback-

"I'm so sorry Solo, I'm so sorry..... If I'd have gotten there eairler.....if I hadn't have left you....I'm so sorry, brother..... But I promise.....I'll make you proud......I'll avenge you, Solo.....I swear it." Indigo-violet eyes glowed faintly in the dark, tears barely contained, as he wispered his promise to the empty bedroom, eyes flashing with regret, determination, anger and promise.
