Part 17... The End
"So what happened?" someone asked me.
I couldn't help but laugh, the small kids that were around me seemed so eager to hear my story I knew I just had to drag it out for them. Perhaps in that one trait I had been hanging out with Duo to long or maybe it was talking to Chibodee that had done it, either way I knew how to torture these little kids.
"Wufei just tell them." Trowa said from the back of the room.
The kids, none younger then five or older then 7 looked at me in expectation.
"Come on you need to stop doing this to them." Domon said with a slight laugh in his voice.
Gathered at my feet in the two story house were the children of past wars as we had started to call them. Several were orphans, and several were the children of Gundam pilots.
"So I take it you really want to know?" I teased.
"Yes daddy!" A girl screamed at the top of her lungs. Smiling for a second I gave in and finished the story.
****~~~****
When the light had faded away Scorpio was in pieces, as were most of the mobile suits that had chosen to attack us. The few that were left were quickly taken care of by Sandrock and Rising Gundam as Domon revealed the other Gundam to be. Dragon, the Gundam Saisaishi was in, and I retrieved DeathScytheHell and HeavyArms.
"Let's get out of here." Heero said as he stared at the destruction our Gundams had caused.
"Ya know that wasn't fun like it normally is." Duo said as he worked to get power to his Gundam.
"Maybe that's because you got careless." I muttered.
"I didn't get careless! How was I supposed to know that thing had that huge gun?!" Duo said, his eyes taking on a defensive look.
"You were careless by letting yourself get in the line of fire, you should have realized that a suit of that size would have more then just weapons located on it's front." I began to lecture.
"Chang, Maxwell, enough." Heero said, he had started to fly back to where Howard would be waiting for us.
"Well that was nice, an OZ free battle." Duo mused, he had run out of stuff to do.
"It's weird to think people other than OZ want us dead." Quatre said softly.
Silence descended upon our small group for the remainder of the trip.
*~*
The group of Gundams landed on the ship we were using and Howard walked across the platform toward us. I could tell he was mildly amused by seeing two new Gundams. We all got out and walked toward the center of the ship.
"Domon!" A female voice cried. We watched as the woman got out and ran to Domon's side. He quickly took her into his arms and hugged her, she, like the male from Dragon, where in the skin type suits Domon wore.
"Rain's happy." Saisaishi said as he joined our small group.
Howard made his way to us finally.
"Oh Howard you're going to need to check out DeathScytheHell." Duo said, a smirk on his face.
Howard groaned before asking, "How bad?"
"It's all fried the same as HeavyArms." Duo told him off handishly.
"WHAT?!"
I had no idea Howard could turn red and look like he was going to pass out.
"Define fried." Howard said as soon as he got his voice back. By then Domon and Rain had made it over to us.
"All of the electrical systems are shot except commutations." Trowa explained.
"Hence fried." Duo said and crossed his arms.
"You killed the Gundams." Howard muttered and watched as his team started to work on the two Gundams.
Domon decided to take the time to formally introduce the other two people to us, "Everyone, this is Rain and Saisaishi."
Quatre ran through the introductions for us.
Just as he had finished I felt my ribs protest the abuse and I nearly sank to the ground, I was only stopped by Saisaishi.
"Get him to bed." Heero said.
Saisaishi and Duo helped me to a bed, and much to my amazement I fell asleep almost as soon as I was in the bed.
***
Twenty four hours later I woke up and found myself face to face with a pissed Sally Po.
"Well are you happy?" She demanded.
"What do you want onna?" I asked and went to turn over. I stopped as soon as my side touched the bed and yelped in pain.
"Your bruised ribs are now swollen."
"And you didn't tell me before I turned over?" I asked, making my way back to lying on my back. My whole body hurt and was tried, to tired to move almost. Although after most battles some soreness was to be expected.
"Wufei you could have died!" Sally said, her hands on her hips, anger still blazing in her eyes.
"But I didn't." I responded and closed my eyes. I didn't see what she was so upset about, if I died it would be one less Gundam pilot she needed to worry about.
"Wufei you can't just think about it like that! You need to be more responsible!"
I opened an eye and looked at her, "Responsible...."
She took it the way I wanted her to, "You know I'm not talking about me."
I closed the eye and pretended to fall asleep.
"WUFEI!!! This isn't over!" She shouted and stormed out of the room.
I couldn't help but let a small smile creep across my face.
The room door opened again and several people walked in.
"Yep, she's mad." Duo said, while trying not to laugh.
"And how mad is Howard?" I asked.
"Ohh about as mad as Sally. But hey, they'll get over it."
I opened my eyes and winced as I sat up a little so Duo and whoever was with him wouldn't be looking down on me. To my somewhat surprise it was Domon and Saisaishi.
"We're going to try and go home soon." Domon explained.
"Where's the other person?" I asked.
"Rain? She's checking over God and Rising."
I still didn't fully understand the Gundam fighter thing.
"The creature that brought us here should take us home now." Saisaishi told me.
That for some reason saddened me, to think I would never see Domon again.
The door opened and Rain walked in.
"He's here." She told Domon and Saisaishi.
I pulled myself out of my bed, Sally may yell but I wanted to see them off. Duo moved to help me, thankfully I hadn't changed before falling asleep. I'd take a shower after they were gone and get clean.
As a group we walked to the hanger and saw a human looking creature waiting by the three Gundams.
"Good you're here." He said, "Are you ready to go?"
"Yeah." Domon said.
"Oh don't worry, I'll let you and the other members of the Shuffle Alliance come back anytime you wish. And of course Rain may come as well." He told Domon.
Sally had noticed me and I could tell she would yell once she got a chance to. I had no idea why that woman worried so much.
Goodbyes were quick and the Gundam fighters got into their Gundams. The next instant there was a flash of light and they were gone.
"That was... um... weird." Duo said.
"I wonder if we'll really see them again?" Quatre wondered.
"We will." Trowa said from his position by HeavyArms.
"When?" Duo asked, he was trying to make sure Howard didn't kill him.
"Probably soon." Heero muttered and went to go do something in Wing Zero.
We slowly divided up and went back to our business, and I took myself back to bed so I could rest and think about the whole thing. Never in my life would I ever think something so strange could happen.
****~~~****
"Is that all?" A little boy asked.
"Well yes." I answered him, Chibodee's son tended to get on my nerves so I was fighting down slight anger.
"Can you tell us another story?" a little girl asked.
"Sorry that's all for tonight." I said and stood, stretching my muscles out. It still amazed me that after all of those years' events like that could stay with me.
I heard the kids groan and beg for another story, but I left the room before they could tie me down to one.
"At least he kept good on his promise." Rain said as I entered the kitchen.
"He did at that." I answered and got something for my parched throat, telling stories that long tended to make me thirsty.
"Who would have thought that battle would end like that?" Duo muttered as he entered the room followed by Saisaishi.
"No one." I answered.
The END!!!
*******~~~******
A/N: *author dances around* It's done! It's done! Go me, yay it's done!!! *starts to sing "The End"* 'The end... the end... the end' ya get the idea.
Oh yeah, there where a lot of 'muttered' in the last chapter so I went through this one and took some out, sorry about that, my beta reader didn't catch them. Also yes, there is room for a squeal, ten to one I'm going to wait a good long while before I even think about writing it, I want to start to post: 'Shining Quatre' first and finish 'Escape or Not' before I start another chaptered fic.
