Shinseiki Gundam W

(New Century Gundam W)

Christopher walked inside Aria’s room. Christopher had to actually threaten the guards to let him in, because they wouldn’t give him the approval, saying something about blood relatives only. He looked at he sleeping body, and sighed as he pulled up a chair to her bedside. The doctors told him that she had lost a lot of blood before the paramedics arrived, and had to get a blood transfusion fast. The amazing thing was she was able to return to normal bodily functions and everything, but to be going in and out of consciousness. At least she wasn’t dead, he thought. Christopher took her hand in his palm, and brushed some bangs from her beautiful but pale face.

“ Why did you do that?” He whispered. “ You are to precious for us… no… me to lose. You must still be the little girl. Please, Aria… please still be that little girl.” Aria moaned, she opened her eyes slowly and looked over at Christopher. She was gaining consciousness again.

“ Chris?” Aria asked faintly. It was the first time she ever called him by that. She always called him by Baka, Bakayaro, Heartless, or Christopher-the-jerk… but she never called him Chris. It was something only people that were close to him called him by. Which were his dad and sometimes his mom.

“ Aria? Are you awake?” Christopher had a slight smile on his face.

“ Chris, am I going to be okay? Will I be able to fight?” Aria asked faintly.

“ You don’t need to worry, Aria…”

“ Chris… I’m scared. I’ve never told anybody that, but I’m scared. Please don’t leave me… promise?” Christopher smiled at this. She remembered.

“ I promise.” He kissed her cheek, while still holding her hand. She intertwined her hand with his as she drifted off back to sleep. Heero, Relena, Duo, and the other Gundam pilots (excluding the new ones) stood in the doorway quietly as they watch the two young ones exchange.

“ The onna is making him weak, injustice.” Wufei said, with a slight smirk on his face. Heero and Relena glared at him, as the others looked at him with playful smiles of their own.

“ That onna is my daughter, Wufei…” Heero said.

“ I know… I know…”

“ Wufei with an sense of humor?” Quatre asked. Wufei glared at the others, and walked away.

“ Injustice!”

“ I knew he would say that eventually…” Relena said, she closed the room door, and began walking down the hallway. “ I think they both need some privacy. Some quality time together, and some catching up on missing years. Best friends should be able to catch up on things, in privacy.” Heero nodded, as did the others, while Duo sighed and followed. They were happy. At least Aria came back… well hopefully at least they thought she did.

Yuan looked at the Redfang base from a building with detest. He then looked at the trigger in his hand, and pressed the button, watching the base blow up. He dropped the trigger on the floor and began to walk away until he heard the click of a gun behind his head.

“ If you are smart enough, I won’t kill you…” A voice said. Yuan smirked. “ And I wouldn’t turn back either…”

“ Hmm? An onna? What can you do?” Yuan asked, quite amused.

“ You can say what you want, but it won’t matter when I blow you brains to join the rest…”

“ Heh. You are an weak onna…”

“ You are a son-of-an-bitch you know that…” Yuan turned around and kicked the gun out the woman’s hand. She held her hand as she looked at the Chinese pilot. “ Damn you!”

“ Told you. Never doubt a man’s assumption… onna.” He said with an smirk. Her bluish green eyes were darting at him angrily, but a smirk came across her face as she tripped him, grabbed her gun, and pointed it in his face, sitting on top of him. Yuan glared at her, as she smirked.

“ Never underestimate a woman… gundam pilot. I still have a bullet to waist on you, so why not do it now.”

“ You are a worthy opponent… onna. What is your name?”

“ Hmm… you are a unique one… my name is Makoto Xu.”

“ My name is Yuan Chang, now feel the power of what a man can do!” Yuan jumped from her sitting grasp, took the gun from her hand, and pointed the gun at the side of her head from behind. Holding her hands, and smirking. “ You see, you are still a weak onna. If you were strong, then you have avoided this.” Yuan whispered in her ear.

“ I will get you back for this… the Redfang will still live.”

“ Do you actually believe that, onna? Will your organization live with the people? Will you live with the people? Answer me, onna. You should have a great explanation. If you are of honor and of integrity. ”

“ I don’t know-“

“ See… you don’t have a reason for anything. Your fight is for nothing…”

“ No! My fight is for the death of grandparents due to the cost of Gundam Pilot zero one 26 years ago, and the for the death of my parents by the hands of the new zero one pilot. They are both in fault! I will fight for their honor!”

“ Honor for what, onna?”

“ Honor for their name. My mother was a hard working Japanese woman, she was of samurai ancestry… and my father was a strong-willed Chinese man, and believed in honor. They both died for nothing, they died without honor. The same way my grandparents did. I will fight for them!”

“ That’s all, onna?”

“ That’s all? Why do you fight, then? Why do you insist? Why do you do this?”

“ For the colonies, and for the-“

“ Honor of you parents. You are no different than me, Yuan Chang!” Makoto took the gun from his hand and flipped him on the floor, havening the gun aimed between his eyes. “ You fight for the will of your father’s honor. His honor as a gundam pilot is your will to fight.” She pulled down her gun and began to walk off. “ I will meet you someday once more, Yuan. I will be your shadow lurking in the night until I get my revenge. I promise… on the will of my family.” Yuan looked at the now empty building walkway. He looked up at the darken night sky.

“ I’ve lost to an onna… no, a woman… no, a warrior. Damn you, Makoto!!!!!!!” Yuan yelled.

It had been weeks, and there was no word from the other Gundam pilots. Relena had mad speeches, and the one speech that even rocked the ESUN was her declaration of war against the RedFang.

“ Women, Men, Children, and all other living breathing creatures of the ESUN. I, Relena Darlin, declare war against the RedFang. The forces of the ESUN will retaliate with the forces the same as the terrorist organization. Many souls have been hurt during this war… and I want to put an end to this. Even though pacifism must live… we must also fight to keep it. The RedFang must be stopped, and it takes all of us to happen. We must keep this peace for as long as we can… and if it means for us to enter war than shall it be.” Relena said, as she looked at the pressroom. Everyone caught his or her breath. What was she saying? Has she lost it? It couldn’t be, that Relena Darlin Peacecraft, Queen of the World and Sovereign of Peace, was declaring war against a terrorist organization… was crazy.”

“ What do you mean! Do you not believe in pacifism?!” A reporter asked.

“ No… I’m not saying that. Peace is not given. We must work as a whole for it…”

“ But we will go back to were we were before!” Another reporter said.

“ No we won’t. As like a little girl said 25 years ago, was is like an Endless Waltz. The waltz continues until we fight for the final stage, the finale, the ending.”

Aria and Christopher watched the even from the room. Aria changed the channel; she couldn’t stand watching things like that anymore. She just couldn’t. Every channel had it playing, and she just turned the T.V off. Christopher looked over at her side. She healed completely, and was able to walk. She was going to leave the hospital the next day, and she looking forward to going home. But she wanted to see the others again too. Her ambitions almost cost her life, and the others around her.

“ Aria… you don’t have to be tense.” Christopher said in an eased tone.

“ I know, but I can’t stand it anymore. No more fighting, no more worries. Just me and my original life.” Aria said.

“ I want that too, Aria… we all want it but we can’t all have it. We must fight. We need you…”

“ But I can’t do it.”

“ Fight with the ZERO system.”

“ No… it made everyone go crazy. Even Milliardo. He wanted to blow up the earth!”

“ Aria, if you have a strong mind, then everything will be alright. I promise…”

“ But you promised me other things too…”

“ And I fulfilled them… just like this…” Christopher took her in a deep but sweet kissed. Aria returned it by punching him in the jaw. Christopher looked at Aria, while rubbing his jaw. “ What the HELL was that for??!!”

“ I didn’t say you can kiss me! You are still a bakayaro!” Aria said, glaring at him.

“ Wha?!!! You let me kiss you on the cheek!!”

“ I was half sedated then! What the hell should I know what was going around me?! For all I know I could have thought you were my favorite singer!!”

“ Damn, when I actually thought you would calm down with your frickin’ PMS mood swings!”

“ PMS MOOD SWINGS! NOW WHEN DID THAT COME UP?!” Aria hopped out of bed. Both starring at each other dreadfully.

“ When you PUNCH ME IN THE DAMN JAW!!”

“ And I’ll do it again too!”

“ Spoiled little brat…” Christopher said under his breath.

“ Say that again?” Aria asked, putting a hand to her ear.

“ I said you are a damn SPOILED BRAT!! NOW DID YOU HEAR THAT?!”

“ WHA--?! When did you started to dictate?! I thought you are Mr. Heartless, Perfect Solider number 2! When did all these feels coming shooting out?!”

“ Because you look damn right sexy when you hot…” Christopher said grinning.

“ WHA?! Now you’re acting like Uncle Duo?! Now you are asking for it!!” Aria said as she punch him, but he caught her hand. She frowned as he leaned closer to her and took her in another deep kiss. Aria tried to get free, but her senses were failing her. She returned the kiss.

“ Maxwell, What the hell are you doing? Are you planning to feel the wrath of Yuy?!” Christopher thought as he let go of her fist, and wrapped his arms around her slim but built waist.

“ Aria?! You are submitting your self to the evil Maxwell charm! Break free! Break Free!” Aria thought as she wrapped her arms his neck. Christopher felt her soft warm lips part under his. He slipped his tongue in her mouth, stroking gently. “ Wake up, Yuy! You can’t submit! You can’t!” But it was to late… her conscience couldn’t help her now, she was already taken in.

“ You are planning you death wish! Maxwell! Remember these words: Father. Pain. Slow Death...”

Heero was walking down the hospital corridor, with a bouquet of roses in his hand. He had a smile on his face, and the guards were thinking that the world surely enough had ended. He told the guard in front of Aria’s hospital room that he was relived of duty and opened the door slowly to see an unexpected sight.
