Disclaimer: Most people can come up with amusing, original ways to write
their disclaimer. Well, I am not most people, so I'll keep it simple. I
don't own the concept of Gundam Wing or any of its characters. Just the
mere idea that I might be making money doing this is laughable.
Warnings: shounen ai, angst, violence
Author's Ramblings: This entire thing was started by one word in my biology text book. How sad is that?
Apoptosis By Rapunzel
Prologue
Gunfire and explosions stretched as far as the eye could see. Smoke drifted on the battlefield, making it more difficult for Duo Maxwell to see incoming mobile suits. Swearing, he switched on the comm. link.
"Hey, Heero!" he called.
The familiar grunt of "Hn," was his only answer. Oddly, he found it slightly reassuring.
"The visuals over here suck! Have you blown up that factory yet?"
"Almost."
As soon as the answer was given, a huge explosion lit the battlefield.
"Done," came Heero's flat voice over the comm. link.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get out of here!" So saying, he hacked through another mobile suit and headed in the direction of Wing and his partner.
A sudden beep startled him. It was the beep that indicated an incoming message, usually text instructions of some kind. Automatically, his hand moved down to the control panel, and he hit the accept button before he realized that the sound hadn't come from Deathsythe. Heero must have received a message of some sort, and the sound had carried over the comm. link to him. But why would anyone send Heero a message in the middle of a battle?
"Mission accepted," Heero said in a absolutely emotionless voice.
A mission? But they were just finishing their current one.
"Hey, Heero," he said. "What mission?"
He was close enough now to see Wing through the smoke. It stood proud and tall, its hatch open. Duo suddenly froze. The hatch wasn't supposed to be open, but it was, and Heero was climbing out. He stood there with something in his hand.
"Heero?" Duo's mouth went dry. Heero looked just like he had before. Duo shook his head violently. That couldn't be right; there was no need for it. "Heero, what the hell are you-"
Heero's thumb pressed the device in his hand.
Wing exploded with a blinding flash.

Author's Note: For those of you who are getting ready to kill me, just remember that if I killed him off this early, I wouldn't have a story.
