Prologue-

When Relena Peacecraft was a small girl, her mother, Queen Christine of the Sanc Kingdom gave her the most valuable jewel on Earth, the Diamond Butterfly. The diamond had been handed down through the Peacecraft family ever since the first mobile suit. Relena’s brother, Milliardo Peacecraft got very jealous of his sister and left to join the OZ Federation. Relena was devastated by her brother’s disappearance. After that, her mother died and Treize claimed war on the Sanc Kingdom, and she had to make continuous trips to outer space.

Gundams were built to promote peace on the colonies after the colony leader, Heero Yuy, was assassinated. Heero Yuy had been promoting peace by getting rid of weapons and OZ didn’t like that. Five young boys were trained from an early age to become the Gundam Pilots.

The year is A.C. 195, Relena Peacecraft, now the princess of the Sanc Kingdom, must once again travel to space. The Gundams are in for repair on Peace Million, Howard’s repair ship. And so, our story begins…

The Diamond Butterfly

>2:00pm Sunday

It was happening again. Relena had to go to space again! She hated going there; nothing to do at all. Relena and her father were heading to MOII, a resource satellite. Her father was trying to promote peace in space, not only on Earth. She sat in the pink limo with a scowl. Other kids would give anything in the world to be where I am right now she thought bitterly.

"Do I have to go father?” Relena asked.

“Of course dear. You are the princess and the holder of the Diamond Butterfly.” He said. Relena scowled. He always said that. He never thinks about anything but himself. I would give anything to be with Mr. Darlin right now. She climbed out of the car and into the shuttle. She looked out the window in misery. Goodbye fun, hello boredom.

11:00pm Sunday

“The real reason I have to go on all these dumb trips is all because of this stupid necklace!"” Relena cursed. She took off her princess outfit and put on a yellow mini skirt with a sleeveless navy blue button up shirt.

“I want to look at this place myself, no escorts, no guards, no father, no one to stop me from doing what I want to do!” She sneaked out of her cabin and past the guards. She started to look around and explore when she realized didn’t take the retched necklace off. As she struggled with the clasp, a handsome, man with brown hair ran into her.

“Sorry miss.” He said in a deep, sexy voice. Relena could not believe her eyes. Here was the most hell-o-hot guy she had ever seen and he didn’t even know who she was! “Are you Relena Peacecraft?” He asked curiously.

“Y… NO!!!!! Why do you ask??!!” She said still desperately trying to get the necklace off. He reached behind her head and easily unclasped the necklace.

“You just look so much like her. My name is Heero Yuy.” She calmed down a bit and stuck her hand out.

“Amanda Carol Bradley.” He shook her hand. Unknown to her, she had just handed him the necklace! “Want to go for a- I’m really sorry Heero, but I just remembered, I gotta go!” She said as she saw her father. “Maybe we can get that drink some other time!” She turned and ran. Beautiful Heero thought. He looked at the necklace in his hand. Shoot! She was the princess!

8:30am Monday

“That was close,” Relena said to herself as she got dressed. “Also that guy Heero, he was a babe!” As she got ready for breakfast her father came in.

“Relena, Miss Noin- where in the god rotted moon is the necklace!!??” Relena’s hand flew to her chest. Oh No! I must have accidentally handed it to Heero last night!

“Well, Miss Noin is coming to watch you after breakfast. I advise you find the necklace after you eat.” He spun on his heel and walked away. Relena, now very tense, headed towards breakfast

11:00 PM Monday

“Oh my god Duo! You will not believe whom I saw at breakfast!!!” Quatre Rabera Winner, the Gundam Sandrock Custom pilot said to Duo Maxwell, the pilot of Gundam Death Sytche Hell Custom.

“Who, the king?” Duo elaborated.

“Close. I saw the princess. She was gorgeous! Did you see her Heero?” He asked the Wing Zero Custom pilot.

“No. I wasn’t paying attention.” He said in his monotone voice. Heero was still fixed on that girl he met last night. He was still wondering why Relena had lied to him. He couldn’t let his soft side show. He was the harsh Gundam Wing Zero Custom Pilot, the leader of the Gundams. She had touched him somehow.

“We attack the LakeVictorian Base tomorrow. Get your Gundams checked by Howard again before we go.” Wufei said.

“Well, I have something to do, I’ll see you all later.” Heero walked out of the room.

“Probably going to see the princess.” Duo said with a mischievous smile.

“What makes you say that?” Quatre asked.

“I just have that felling that Heero’s in LOVE. He did sneak out last night you know.” Duo said laughing.

“I had no idea. I thought he was the most sensible of us. Is he stupid?! If Noin catches him he’ll be a squished ex-Gundam.” Wufei said with no grief for Heero. But the truth was that Heero was going to see the princess, and get the truth out of her.

2:00am Tuesday

Relena ran down the hallway. She was getting desperate, she prayed she would run into Heero again. As she entered the docks, she saw five Gundams. They were so technical. Relena pushed the button and went further into the docks. She started to look around the dim area when she spotted four young men talking on the foot of a Gundam. She sneaked over to listen.

“Duo, still think Heero went to see the princess?” The blonde one asked.

“Well Quatre, what else would he be doing? His Gundam is fixed, he talked to Howard, and he knows what the mission is. Plus, he’s late.” Duo sniggered.

“Really, what else doesn’t he know? Who the princess is and what she looks like? I hear she is the sexiest ever to be the heir to the Sanc Kingdom.” Wufei said. Relena had half a mind to walk up to him and slap him till he wept. But they said Heero, which was the name off the guy she met last night. She turned and walked out of the docks.

3:30 am Tuesday

Relena silently cursed. She was lost. She was also going in circles. A cool calm voice cut out from the shadows.

“Lost Amanda? Or should I say…Princess Relena!” It was Heero! He walked out of the shadows and pushed Relena into a chair. “Why did you lie to me?”

“I thought you take me back to my father like anyone else would have done.” Relena said, a tear falling down her cheek. Heero walked behind her and clasped the necklace.

“I’m not like other people.” He stood up. “Go to the first left hallway and follow it to the lifts. You can get back to your quarters from there. I will escort you.” Heero and Relena took off down the hall.

“Relena! Relena!” It was Miss Noin!

“Heero I’d better go, if that hag catches me I will be a very dead Relena.” Heero smiled and turned. Noin walked up.

“Miss Relena! Where in the god rotted moon have you been?!” Noin screamed. Relena winced.

“I went exploring today and got lost.” She snapped and headed to her room.

4:00 am Tuesday

“Heero Yuy! Get your tight ass over here!” Noin screamed at Heero’s retreating back. Heero turned.

“Yes hag?”

“I never want to see you around the princess ever again do you hear me! You are too dangerous!”

“I don’t know. She seems to be the dangerous one Noin.”

“Why did you give her back the necklace?”

“She dropped it. You have a problem talk to her.”

“Never go after the princess again Heero Yuy.” Noin hissed.

“Fine. I won’t look for my princess again.” He spun on his heel and stormed towards the dock. Noin stood there confused. My princess? Since when was Relena his princess?

9:45 am Tuesday

Relena groaned. Only five hours of sleep. She stood up and got dressed; a blue cami skirt and a black tank top. She brushed her hair and decided to leave it down.

“Relena?” Her father came in.

She yawned. “What?”

“Breakfast is over and you have a picture shoot today so smarten up.”

“What?! What picture shoot?!”

“For the upcoming ball duh.” He left her to troubled thoughts.

10:00am Tuesday

“Yo Heero! Sleepy head! WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!” Duo screamed. Heero sat up very suddenly.

“Duo! Try shutting up for once, I’m trying to sleep!” Heero snapped.

“It’s ten o clock bub.” Heero just threw his pillow at him and turned over. Duo shook his head and walked over to the others.

“Jeez, usually you’re the one that sleeps in Duo.” Trowa said. He set his coffee down and all of them headed towards Heero. They prodded him and he sat up.

“DIDN’T YOU HEAR ME THE FIRST TIME?!!!!!!!!!?!?!?!?!? GO AWAY!!!!!!!! I WANT TO SLEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” The other gundam pilots jumped back in shock.

11:15 am Tuesday

Relena sat in the same position for two whole hours, wearing hot, stuffy dresses. She groaned when they brought in another dress. She jumped up and headed to the bathroom. She hung the dress on the hook and slipped out of the one she was wearing to reveal a pair of shorts and a sports bra. She hoisted herself into the air duct and started to climb away. After many twist and turns she finally got out of the duct and found herself in the Noin's room! She wasn’t there. She sat down at a computer and was amazed by the email she found.

To: Zechs tallgeese@spacemoon.net

From: Noin princessn@spacemoon.net

Subject: Stage one complete

Zechs-

Stage one complete. Relena doesn’t suspect a thing. Are you coming to the ball tomorrow, Trieze and Lady Une are. We’ve decided to strike then. Write back as soon as possible.

Love Noin

Relena kept on reading.

To: Noin princessn@spacemoon.net

From: Zechs tallgeese@spacemoon.net

Subject: Re: Stage one complete

Noin-

Great work. Yes I am coming I’ll be there in time wait for me at dock 19 at 0300 hours. Great time to strike.

Love Zechs

Relena thought this might be helpful for the Gundam pilots so she printed it. She grabbed it and tore out of that room like the hounds of hell were on her heels.

1:00 p.m. Tuesday

Relena sat on the foot of one of the Gundam Wing Zero Custom and waited. Soon enough, she heard the voices of five young men, and one of the voices belonged to Heero!

“Wait! Someone’s gotten in here!” Wufei yelped. Relena stood up and jumped in front of them.

“Relena!” Heero shouted.

“It’s the princess!” The others yelled.

“What are doing here?” Heero asked while the others caught their breath.

“I broke into Noin’s room today to get away from the photo shoot. Her email was on the screen, here.” She handed Heero the printout she had gotten. Heero read it and his eyes narrowed dangerously.

“Boys, cancel the mission. Zechs is coming to L3 today for the ball. Treize is going to be there as well."

“What?!” Quatre asked. He grabbed the paper and read it out loud to the others.

“How are going to get in? We weren’t invited.” Trowa said.

“I can get all of you in.” Relena said. “But you do know you have to go with girls and dance right?” The others jumped, they had forgotten she was there.

“Trowa, you can go with Cathrine Bloom, I think you already know her. Wufei you can go with Sally Po, Duo with Hilde, Quatre with Hani.”

“I’ll go with you.” Heero said.

“Who?” Quatre asked.

“Hani, she’s well, very special.”

“What do you mean?”

“She’s a hybrid of a cat and human. She’s very pretty and nice. I’ve known her since I was a baby and no one’s ever let her go to a ball or anything.” Relena’s eyes looked pleadingly at Quatre.

“Sure, I’ll take her.” Quatre said.

Relena picked an intercom out of her belt and talked into it. “Hani? Can you come down to galley 53 today? There’s someone I want you to meet.”

“Sure Miss Relena.” The voice was silky and sexy.

“OK, tonight is the ball, be prepared and come looking slightly dressed up. Meet Hani Quatre.” Relena turned and walked out.

1:30p.m. Tuesday

Relena headed back to her room. She smiled and hoped that Quatre would meet Hani. As she headed to the elevators, she noticed five men following her. She picked up her pace, so did they. Relena broke into a run and they followed. She rounded the corner and jumped into an empty elevator. She punched the door close button and nothing happened. She let out a terrified shriek as the men entered the elevator. They had ski masks on. One of them held Relena at gunpoint. She looked around wildly and saw no one to help her. She screamed and one of them fired their gun. It hit Relena’s right shoulder.

“Don’t try anything Princess, you’re coming with us and if you fight, you’ll be dead before you reach your destiny.”

“I’d rather be dead than find out what my destiny is with you freaks!” Relena spat into one of their eyes. He shot her again.

“Don’t fight it princess.” They tied her up and gagged her. One of the men hit her with the butt of his gun and that was all she knew.

7:00p.m. Tuesday

Heero glanced around. Strange, I wonder where Relena is. Hani and Quatre were the stars of the dance floor. All those dance lessons really paid off for Quatre. Duo and Hilde walked up to him.

“Where’s Relena?” Duo asked.

“No clue.” Heero looked towards the doors as they opened, but it was just some tech-boys bringing in a large vid screen.

7:30p.m. Tuesday

Relena woke up with her shoulder pounding and her wrists and ankles screaming in pain. She groaned and tried to move her hands but she screamed to the pain that doing that brought. She looked around her to realize she was nailed to a cross. The lights came on and she blinked in the brightness of them.

“Well, dear sister, are you ready for your last night in the spotlight?” A tall man with long blonde hair walked up.

“Milliardo!” Relena hissed in rage. “Why are you doing this?”

“Because you are the holder of the Butterfly Diamond! You are the soon to be ruler of the Sanc Kingdom!”

“Do you think I wanted all the trouble this stupid necklace brought me?! You want to rule, fine with me! I want to be a normal teenager!”

“Too bad this is your last grand stand show.” He turned and pointed at the many cameras. “Millions of people are going to see you. We’ll even tell them where you are, but by the time they get here, you’ll be dead! HAHAHAHA!!!” She spat in his eye and he drew a gun and shot her in the shoulder again. The cameras turned on; and Relena was on vid screens all over the colonies.

8:00p.m. Tuesday

The vid screen in the ballroom turned on. Duo picked his jaw up off the ground and ran to Heero and the others.

“Fellow colony members. I am Milliardo Peacecraft. As you can see, I have your princess and she is not in such good shape. I am the rightful ruler.” Noin appeared on the screen. Heero had a suicidal look on his face.

“We are in the Temple of Sacrifice in India. Once you get here, your princess will be dead.” Suddenly, Relena screamed in rage and actually yanked her nailed down feet from the cross. She kicked her brother in the back of the head and then used her feet to get the nails out of her wrists. She pounced on Noin and yanked the gun out of her belt. Noin stumbled back and looked surprised. Heero ran out of the room, closely followed by the others. They jumped in their Gundams and powered them up. Heero contacted Lady Une.

“Lady…”

“Hello Heero.”

“Have you seen the vids?”

“Yes.” She said uncertainly.

“Listen, Milliardo thinks you’re on his side right?” She nodded. “Try to keep the screen running as long as you can. We’re on our way.” He closed the contact and took off, followed by the others.

8:30p.m. Tuesday

Relena pointed the gun at Noin’s chest. “Don’t move.” She hissed. She cocked the weapon and got ready to fire. Milliardo jumped her from behind and yanked the weapon out of her hand. He grabbed a very large nail gun and threw Relena back onto the cross. He nailed her wrists and ankles like before, and then, in front of all the colonies and the Gundams, he put one extra large nail into each of her shoulders. She screamed in pain, rage, and hate for her brother.

Heero watched this with growing disgust on the mini vid in Wing Zero Custom. He heard Quatre gag while he watched this. They reached the temple.

9:00p.m. Tuesday

Heero used his beam cannon to blast a hole in the temple wall. He exited his Gundam and spoke into his COM unit. “Duo, come with me, the rest of you stay in your Gundams, we may need help.” Duo got out of Deathsytche Hell Custom and followed Heero into the temple. They followed a lot of long hallways when they heard Relena scream. They watched, as Milliardo was about to put a nail in Relena’s stomach. Suddenly, a cat-like creature, which almost looked like Hani, appeared! The creature slashed Milliardo across the face.

“Pyanfar! Get back to your post!” He screamed. Pyanfar had her ears flattened.

“The Chanur do not take orders from humans any longer!” He shot her. “The Messiah! Only the Messiah can save us!”

Heero jumped in front of Relena and very gently started to pull the nails out. Every so often, Relena would let out a shriek of pain and shoot dirty looks at him. Soon, he had all the nails out and he eased her into his arms. Suddenly Relena grabbed Heero by the front of his green tank top and kissed him suddenly and passionately. Heero’s eyes went wide and he put his hand out in front of him to steady himself. He accidentally touched Relena’s shoulder, right where a nail had been. As suddenly as it had started, the kiss stopped and Relena slapped Heero hard across the face.

Duo goggled. “I don’t think he was expecting that.” He muttered.

Relena seemed to be breathing normally again and she calmly said to Heero,

“Don’t touch my shoulder.” As if nothing had happened. “Where’s your Gundam?”

“Up.” Was all Heero managed to say (he still looked surprised)

“Well get and put the code into it.” She shoved him lightly and let out a moan of pain that her shoulders had suddenly caused. Heero quietly went and got Wing Zero Custom and put the code into it.

(In the Sanc Kingdom)

The death black Gundam’s eyes shone a bright red. It’s double sided Thermal-blade (kinda like Duo’s, only double sided) shone the same blood red. Two large wings exploded from it’s back. It bent it’s knee’s and Messiah headed towards India.

9:45p.m. Tuesday

Heero sat placidly inside of Wing Zero Custom and lightly touched his lips, and then the bright red mark on his cheek. Quatre’s voice cut through his thoughts.

“Heero, look at all the Chanur! They keep on chanting the Messiah is coming! The Messiah- Holy crap! Heero look at that! It’s a Gundam!” Heero looked up to see a slender, pure black Gundam with a double sided Thermal-blade and red eyes land.

“The Messiah has come! The Messiah has come!” The Chanur cried. Heero and the rest of the world watched as a very beat up Relena used a grapple gun to get herself to the chest cavity. Heero watched as she thrust the Butterfly Diamond into the cavity and to his amazement, the cavity opened and allowed access. Relena powered up the Gundam and turned on the COM system.

“This is Gundam Messiah Custom! Face the wrath of death!” Messiah spun the blade and brought it crashing through the walls. Messiah moved with grace that the original Gundams would never even dream of having. It moved with a cat-like grace. Messiah turned to face the others and held out her hand.

“I am the Gundam Messiah Custom, the goddess of the Chanur. Will you help me, friend Heero and friends of Heero, will you help me defeat OZ and reclaim my world?”

The Gundams were at a lost for words. “Where is Relena?” Heero asked.

“I am Relena, Relena is me. We are two souls in one body. She has protected me until this day and now I am healing her body with the powers of Chanur. You must be patient, Heero Yuy and Company.”

“Then yes, we will help.” Duo said.

“Thank you, Shinigami.” Messiah turned and spread her wings. The others powered up their suits for flight and followed closely. As they flew, Heero started to piece everything together that had happened tonight. Relena got captured and tortured by her brother, a mysterious Gundam appears and claims to be not a Gundam but a goddess. They see over a thousand Chanur, and find out Noin has been working for the enemy the entire time. Suddenly the mini vid screen turned on and they saw Relena in a weird purple liquid. Next to her about the size of a baby, was a thing with black fur.

“What is that?” Quatre asked.

“That is the true form of the Messiah.”

“AAAAHHHH!!!! Hani! How did you get in here?!” Quatre asked, wondering how she had gotten in Sandrock Custom.

“Never mind. Watch your screen. The Butterfly Diamond was a myth on our world. You see, on my world, over a thousand years ago, there was a great battle between the Messiah and Cardnis. Cardnis was the goddess of Hell and wanted to rule the top world. Messiah won but lost her body in the process. The Butterfly Diamond was made to contain the awesome power of the Messiah. It was sent off world and landed somewhere, that somewhere was Earth. When we heard a rumor that it was on Earth, the crew and myself came to Earth in The Messiah’s Legacy, we came immeaditly. We crash landed near the Sanc Kingdom. Relena’s mother, Christine, found us and took us in. She was part Chanur. She was also the holder of the diamond. Six years after we landed, Christine died and Relena became the holder of the diamond. When it was on her chest, it seemed to glow with life. We knew she was the one that held the Messiah so we waited.”

While she was saying this, the Gundams could see the story playing out on their screens. Heero watched Relena and felt slightly disappointed when the image vanished. He focused his view on Messiah.

“So, what you mean is that Relena isn’t human?” The Messiah’s head turned.

“Yes.” Heero nodded and smiled grimly. He proceeded to contact Une and Treize. The screen flickered and burst into a bright light and then Une appeared on screen.

“Heero! How is everything? We’ve had problems keeping the people calm on our end. Is Relena ok?”

“Yes. She is fine and healing is in the process.” Une grinned mischievously.

“Did you enjoy your little romantic moment with the princess? I must say, everyone was shocked and everyone who knew you thought it was the funniest thing in the world.” Heero felt the color rise to his cheeks. He had enjoyed that very much.

“That was broadcasted!?”

“Yup. You told me to keep the vids running as long as possible didn’t you?” Heero sighed and nodded. Suddenly, the Messiah’s voice ended the transmission.

“Healing process complete.” The mini vid came up to show a fully healed Relena and a grown Messiah. The purple liquid was draining from the cockpit. The Messiah’s wings suddenly folded and she plummeted to the ground, followed closely by the others.

11:34 p.m. Tuesday

The cockpit door opened and a beautiful black Chanur dropped to the ground. Her eyes shone the same blood red as the mobile suit. She held a huge scythe; it seemed to glow with blood. Quatre found it revolting. Tallgeese dropped from the sky, followed by a white Taurus. Noin stepped out of the white MS.

“You are a fool Messiah, to think you could hide your powers from me this long!”

“I did didn’t I?” The Messiah hissed in rage. The pilots looked at each other, and then at the unconscious form of Zechs that dropped from the Tallgeese. Noin glanced up at him.

“Yes, he did make a fine plaything, in the end, he got me what I wanted.” Noin started to glow and her eyes flashed a fire red and then, a bloodcurdling scream. Everyone watched in amazement as another Chanur separated from Noin. This one was red and held a long spear looking thing. She pointed it at the Messiah. “I hoped I would get to fight you again Messiah. You are a great opponent.”

“What is the prize this time Cardnis?” Messiah asked warily.

“The right to claim Earth and this solar system under one’s command, the right to destroy humanity.” A breeze seemed to pick up out of nowhere. Heero looked up and saw Relena standing in the cockpit, her face was grim. Messiah nodded and the scythe glowed all the more brightly. The fight for all humanity had begun.

>12:00am Wednesday

The wind howled, carrying the sounds of the battle ever further away. The pilots waited restlessly along with the Chanur. Heero watched the battle with growing fear. Fear. It was an emotion he rarely felt, but he was experiencing it more ever since her met the beautiful Princess Relena. He had been gripped with fear when he saw her on that cross; she was in so much pain. How many more must suffer?

Cardnis had the upper hand. She brought the spear down and through the Messiah’s stomach. Messiah grunted in pain and slowly turned to look up at Relena. Everyone followed her gaze and saw Relena nod. The Messiah jumped up and Relena jumped down. Their bodies met in the middle. The was a blinding flash of purple light and Cardnis watched as Relena and the Messiah were once again one soul. The Messiah hit the ground, stronger than ever. Hr eyes now glowed a deep purple. She pointed her scythe at Cardnis.

“Now, You die.”

12:24am Wednesday <

>The battle intensified greatly. The pilots had to back the MS’ off so the wouldn’t blow up in the intense heat. Heero stared at the battlefield. Relena, please be ok!

Cardnis repeatedly tried to spear Messiah but Messiah was blocking every one of her blows with an even deadlier one. Sparks flew from their eyes; each was daring the other to take a step back, to give up. Cardnis backed off.

“You win again. Maybe we’ll meet up in a couple thousand years.”

“Maybe.” Cardnis raised her hands into the air and a killing blow was shot at the Messiah, made of pure gravity. The Messiah was knocked off her feet and thrown back, the scythe disappeared before she had even hit the ground. Looks like the battle had taken a turn for the worse!

1:00am Wednesday

Relena’s head lay in Heero’s lap. Messiah had separated from her again; claiming it may allow her to live longer. The Messiah stood defenseless against Cardnis. She had her head bowed in submission.

“You win Cardnis.” Cardnis smiled wickedly.

“Yes, I do.” Heero gently wiped the blood off Relena’s face. Her eyes made contact with his. They were filled with tears. Heero heard the Messiah’s words in his head.

Only your love can save her Heero Yuy. She’s needed you for a long time, since she met you on L1. You must let her know you love her, the universe may have a chance then. Please Heero. Even if she has only known you a week, she is love struck by you. Tell her Yuy. I know you love her too. Cardnis feeds off fear and hate, which is why she is growing more powerful. Only love and light can save your world now, Heero Yuy. Tell her-

The words cut off as Cardnis brought the spear through the Messiah again and again. Quatre was sobbing. The Messiah fell to the ground, her purple eyes blank and staring, never to get up again.

1:37am Wednesday

“NNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Relena tore out of Heero’s grasp and charged Cardnis. Tears were rolling down her cheeks. She ran and pounced on the evil goddess. Relena flew backwards as Cardnis struck her on the side of the head. Heero leapt into the air and caught her. He clutched her to his chest. She held on to the straps of his trademark green tank top for dear life.

Cardnis watched with growing disdain. She stared at the world, which was now hers.

Heero kneeled, still holding Relena tightly. The Messiah was right, he did love her, and he loved her more than life itself.

“Relena don’t die! NO!! Not right now! We still have to go get those drinks you promised!”

“Why save life if humans will only destroy it?”

“There are many great things in life that aren’t meant to be destroyed!”

“Like love?”

“Yes! Love is a very good example. Don’t die! I need you!”

“Why do you need me?”

“Because I…”

“Tell her Heero.” Duo said, staring at the ever-powerful Cardnis. The others nodded in agreement.

“Because I… I love you.” Heero pressed his lips firmly against her s and kept them there. Tears flowed down Relena’s face as she stroked his unruly brown hair.

“I love you too, Heero Yuy.” Suddenly, her body twisted and started glowing. (Anyone who’s seen The Fifth Element will have remembered that part). The scythe appeared in front of her and she reached out and grabbed it. As she did, her eyes glowed purple and she spun to face Cardnis.

“You have put at stake everything I love and you will pay for that. Now Goddess of Hell, return to your evil domain!” She lunged and swung the blade over her head. She brought crashing down thorough Cardnis’ head. Cardnis split and screamed.

“We will meet again Messiah!”

“No, we won’t.” Relena slashed her going the other direction and started howling a cat-like howl. The Chanur joined her. She threw back her head and thrust the scythe into the air. The pilots and the rest of the world cheered. The war was finally over.

The year is A.C. 204. Relena gave up her title and gave the rule of the Sanc kingdom to the rightful ruler, her brother. She helped the Chanur rebuild The Messiah’ s Legacy and gave them the Diamond Butterfly. The Messiah still lives within her though, and on nights such as this, when there is no moon and the stars shine brightly, if you’re lucky, you’ll see two purple eyes. You may even hear the cat-like howl and the bright glow, of the Messiah’s love.
