AC 196

 

 

It’s been 7 months now since Heero started the line of falling soldiers – then came Duo, Quatre and Trowa falling after him into the dark abyss of death and the strange piece it has.

 

I am alone.

 

I have been alone most of my life.

 

However for the majority of it I did not know I was alone.

 

I had my books and my pride.

 

Then, when I was fourteen I was forced into an arranged marriage.

 

I married Meiran.

 

The strongest most stubborn woman I have ever met.

 

She was to be the pilot of Shenlong.

 

However in her very first battle she was defeated.

 

I took possession of Shenlong and renamed it Nataku after the god my wife idolized and believed she was.

 

I became a warrior......and lost my books.

 

Now, almost a full two years after the woman I came to revere lost her life in battle...

 

I shall willingly take mine.... and lose my pride.

 

I considered myself to be strong enough to survive alone....

 

I, Chang Wufei, was wrong.

 

Very, very wrong.

 

When my friends started to dissolve around me and I was powerless to do anything to stop them. Powerless to save what I came to realize was most important to me, more important even than the cause that I had devoted my life after Meiran to.

 

A warrior. That was how I regarded myself. Now I see that my perception was off.

 

I fought.........because I did not see the point of living.

 

Death. I was hoping for my death each and every time I took Nataku into battle.

 

However because of my pride I could not take Heero's way out.

 

I could not simply push the self-destruct button.

 

My pride demanded that I die a warrior's death.

 

I was a coward.

 

I sit now in the silence of a safe house that should be filled with the life of my four friends.

 

Now that I am alone, only now do I really realize just how much I needed the others.

 

And I realize that pride is a cold comfort indeed.

 

I draw my sword sharply across my wrist and watch the blood seep out of the fatal wound.

 

So, the coward will not die the death he wished for...

 

In the name of Justice.

 

He gets what he deserves.

 

I accept my fate.

 

Gundam Pilot 05, Chang Wufei, signing out.

That took forever to write.
