Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Shinigami Lives ❯ Shinigami Lives ( Chapter 1 )

 

I sit in the back of class drawing. Don't get me wrong; I'm not stupid. I just find this stuff somewhat boring. I already know it; I don't see why I have to learn it again.

I never pay attention in this class. Half of the time I'm asleep. Still some how I `magically' get an `A'.

If this was English then I would pay attention. You see… Hey did it get quieter in here all of a sudden…

I look up and there is my teacher standing in front of me. Her glare could rival Heero's. I just give her my best `baka' grin.

“Gomen, ne,” I say sheepishly.

“Mr. Maxwell how many times do I have to tell you to pay attention,” she rants after class. I'm just sitting here. I want the paper she took from me back. Those Leo's and Taurus' were the best I've ever done.

Finally I get to go. Heero I'm-a-brick-wall Yuy is waiting outside the classroom with my fellow pilots.

“How was physics Maxwell?” Wufei asks me.

“Just dandy Chang,” I reply. Wufei turns red. “I learned the correct way to draw a Space Leo. Other than that it was dull. I'd rather be taking biology again.”

“When are you ever going to take this seriously?”

We all start to walk in the direction of the dorms. My name is called and I look around to my other `friends'.

“Ja,” I say as I bound off. I hear Wufei start to complain about how we all should be planning for the next mission.

“Dude! Did you see the vidclips of the attack on OZ?” Alex asks me. These people always follow all the Gundam attacks. “Those Gundams will have to loose sooner or later.” They're all talking and I let my brain go on autopilot.

“Duo… come in Duo.”

“Nani?”

“Sure… English please.”

“Gom… sorry,” I grin. “So…” I say trying to change the subject. “Whadda ya wanna do? I think the game is on tonight.”

We're all sitting in Alex's dorm watching TV. My cell goes off. It's Heero. All he says is one word and I run out of the room with a `shit I gotta go'.

I reach my room and find Heero in his traditional spandex and green tank top. An evil grin forms on my face and I change out of my school uniform into my regular outfit. We both quickly load our guns and climb out of the window to meet the others at the Gundams.



We're quickly loosing. Heavyarms has no more ammunition and Sandrock's fuel is dangerously low. These are just the least of our problems. I see Wing take a critical hit and I open a link to the other pilots saying, “Guys listen to me. We have to get out of here! You leave; I'll cover you. Shinigami is the least damaged.”

I don't wait for a response. I attack the nearest Mobile Suit.

“Shinigami lives,” I yell as I try to get out.

“Duo get out of there!”

Trowa.

There isn't a way out…

I can't leave…

“Maxwell!”

Wufei.

I understand.

“Duo, please..”

Quatre.

I know OZ is taping the battle. Everyone on the earth and colonies is watching. I flip a switch. They will hear everything.

“Duo what the hell are you doing? Get out of there!” Heero.

“People of the earth and colonies,” I stop trying to defend myself, “I am Duo Maxwell, Gundam Pilot.”

My not so white horse is in it's last fight.

“I am showing to what extent Gundam pilots will go to...”

“Duo! Stop!”

Good bye.

“...to bring peace to the earth and colonies.”

“No! Stop!” I'm so sorry.

I smile. “So this will end everything, will it?”

I push the button and my life flashes before my eyes.
