Narrator: AC 195 Five boys descended to Earth like fiery meteors. One came to seek revenge... one to accomplish a mission... why did these boys fight? They left no traces of themselves, or clues as to their reasons. Except for these stories...

AC 192:
Duo: Leggo! Lemme Go!! I said lemme go!
Crewguy 1: You've got some nerve sneaking about a Sweepers ship, you little punk!
Dr. H: What's going on?
Crewguy 2: A stowaway! He was raiding the food stores!
Duo: Even I want some real food now and then. Leggo!
Dr. H:...Let him go.
Crewguy 1: But...
Dr. H: Just let him go.

AC 187:
Salesman: Hey! Damned brats!
Duo: You can send the bill to the ALLIENCE!
Salesman: The hell with you!
Priest: I'm sorry
Salesman: Hold it!
Duo: Uh-oh. Sorry.
Priest: Oh bother...
Salesman: They did it again
Salesman 2: I do feel sorry for these war orphans, but they're always doing this...

Orphan Girl: That went well, huh, Duo?
Duo: Yeah! And tomorrow we'll sneak into the military warehouse!
Orphan Girl: What?! Isn't that kinda...
Orphan Boy: It they catch us, we're toast!
Duo: Hmph! It's just a fluke that we've lasted this long anyway. We might as well go all the way!

Orphan Boys: RUN! RUN!
Duo: Firing without warning... Are those guys NUTS?!
Orphan Girl: Soldiers don't care about women and kids!

Duo: Stop it! What'd we ever do to you?
Demolition Man: Don't give me that crap! I can't believe you idiots acutally went after the alliance's food stores!
Duo: But this is our HOME! If you bust it up, where are we supposed to go?!
Demolition Man: The Maxwell Church has offered to take you in. Be grateful!
Duo: A...church?

Duo: Don't! I said QUIT IT!
Father Maxwell: What's going on?
Sister Helen: This boy... he won't let me cut his hair.
Duo: Well DUH! Bad enough I gotta wear these weird clothes... I can't let you cut my hair as well!
Sister Helen: It's all scraggly and tangled. It's unhygienic.
Duo: I like it like this!
Father Maxwell: Sister Helen, let Duo have his way.
Sister Helen: But... So... there you go...No complaints, right?
Duo: Heh, heh! Yeah! Makes it easier to move around. It won't get in my way when I steal stuff!
Sister Helen: Are you still talking like that?
Father Maxwell: Duo... There's no need for you to steal as long as you're here.
Duo: Oh that's right! I'm supposed to be begging now, not stealing.
Father Maxwell: Begging?
Duo: Isn't that how it works? I mean, a church is kept by the townspeople's donations...
Sister Helen: Oh my, for a child!
Father Maxwell: You're right, it's just as you say.
Duo: Yeah! So don't get all high and mighty!

School Boy 1: Morning!
School Boy 2: Morning.
Duo:...
Sister Helen: Will the boy really be all right?
Father Maxwell: Why, certainly... With a little education, Duo could turn out to be the finest priest in the whole Earth Sphere.
Sister Helen: Duo?? But all the other kids got placed in foster homes... he's the only one who keeps getting sent back.
Father Maxwell: It's true... Duo is just like I was at his age.

Sister Helen: Duo, wait! Oh, Duo, you did it again!
Duo: It was their fault...theirs!
Sister Helen: How can you say that, when it was you that sent the other kids to the hospital?
Duo: Yeah...but...
Sister Helen: Duo... what did they say to you?
Duo: They said...they said I smell like a sewer Huh?
Sister Helen: See, you're not smelly at all.
Duo: R-really?
Sister Helen: Really. So no matter what people say, you just ignore them.
Duo: Okay.

Father Maxwell: You say there's no god?
Duo: Yeah! It there really was a god, then wouldn't he make it so there weren't any more wars? And if there were no wars, there wouldn't be any more orphans like me.
Father Maxwell: Duo... jWars aren't started by god...but by people. What people begin... people must end for themselves.
Duo: Hm...so it doesn't matter if god exists or not?
Sister Helen: Th-that's not so!
Duo: Then the only god in this world is the god of death.
Sister Helen: Duo... you don't believe in god, but you believe in the god of death?
Duo: Yeah1 I've never seen any miracles, but I've sure seen lots of dead people!
Father Maxwell: Dear mean, it's hard to argue with you.
Sister Helen: You say the strangest things...

Narrator: After Duo's arrival, there was always laughter at the Maxwell Church. However... One day... the smiles disappeared from everyone's faces.

AC 188:
Hurt Man: Hang on...
Duo:...
Rebel Leader: No matter what... We've got to capture the base at point g2! That's the only option we have left!
Rebel Followers: Yes, sir!
Duo: It's starting all over again. We were living happily until just yesterday.
Rebel Leader: Just ONE mobile suit! If we can get that, then freedom will be ours!
Father Maxwell: Haven't we had enough of this...?
Rebel Leader: What did you say?!
Father Maxwell: Didn't Heero Yuy once say..."we, the people of the colonies, didn't come to live in space so we could fight"... No matter what happens, we must not fight.
Rebel Leader: Bastard! I DARE you to say that again!
Father Maxwell: I'll keep saying it over and over.
Rebel Follower 1: Y...you... shut up!
Duo: Hey!
Sister Helen: Stop it! Please! Please no more.
Rebel Follower 2: Shut up! We've got to have total solidarity! Why are you confusing people with useless talk of peace at a time like this?!
Rebel Leader: They might be alliance spies....
Rebel Follower 2: It's possible.
Sister Helen: B...But...
Rebel Follower 3: Shall we make 'em confess?
Duo: Hey, wait! All you want's one mobile suit?!
Rebel Leader: Huh?
Duo: I'll go steal one for you! And in return, I want you guys to get out of here! This is supposed to be a peaceful place!
Rebel Leader: Hmph. That brat's talking nonsense.
Duo: I may run, and I may hide... But I don't tell lies like you guys.
Rebel Leader: Say what?!
Sister Helen: Duo! Don't!
Duo: One mobile suit! Coming right up!
Sister Helen: Duo!

Duo: Dammit! Dammit! DAMMIT! Why?! They all used to hate war just the other day! Why go start another one?!
System: INTRUDER!
Duo: I hate the alliance too! But...BUT STILL!
Soldier 1: Stop! Stop or we'll shoot!
Duo: If you want a war so much... then why don't you jerks all go fight each other?!
Soldier 2: S-stop, he's only a kid!
Soldier 1: Yeah, so what? All the colonists are our enemies!
Duo: They keep making more orphans like me...! There!
Soldier: Huh? Hey who's in there?!?! Whoa! Don't let him get away! Fire!
Duo: I'm the only alive through luck anyway. If someone's gonna do to dirty work, it should be me...

Duo: No... This can't be...
Sister Helen: D...Duo....
Duo: Huh?
Sister Helen: I'm glad you're safe....
Duo: Sister!
Sister Helen: Don't make us worry like that, Father was... worried about you even to the end....
Duo: I'll go get a doctor!
Sister Helen: Th-The alliance came...and attacked. But we...couldn't leave...the church.
Duo: W-was it my fault?! Because I stole the mobile suit from the alliance?
Sister Helen: F-Father was so noble. H-he kept preaching for peace...
Duo: That's not noble! That's just dumb! What's the point if he's dead now?
Sister Helen: Duo... M-may you have god's...blessing....
Duo: uh....uh....uahhhhhhh!

Narrator: 245 people were killed. The colony's rebellion was suppressed by the Alliance and OZ's crack troops. People came to call this incidents "The Maxwell Church Tragedy."

Soldier 1: Hey...didya know that's kid's a Maxwell Church survivor?
Soldier 2: Wow...Guess he cut a deal with death huh?
Duo:...

AC 192:
Howard: With this spaceship, we could've gone beyond the solor system.
Dr. H: But it's of no use to us now. We'll just let it sleep until it's day comes. So, where to now?
Howard: Back to Earth. I want to relax, lulled by the ocean waves.
Dr. H: Hmph. Sounds like just your thing.
Howard: Yep. So long.
Dr. H: Yeah...

Duo: Leggo! Lemme Go!
Dr. H: Let him go.
Crewguy 1: But...
Dr. H: Just let him go. Kid... I'm impressed you were able to sneak aboard. My security system should've been perfect. How did you do it?
Duo: That's a trade secret. But if it helps your pride, I'll say it was pretty tough.
Dr. H: You're an interesting kid.
Duo: I'm no kid! My name's Duo. Duo Maxwell, who may run and hide, but never tells a lie.
Duo: Maxwell...? Like Maxwell's Demon?
Duo: Nope. Not just a demon. I'm the god of death!
