Last Thoughts

By Inaho aka Sailor Deimos

It�s cold, even though the Tallgeese is dying in an explosion of hot electricity all around me. Wu Fei�s aim was true; he speared the suit just inches below the cockpit.  Why he didn�t finish me off quickly and cleanly by spearing the cockpit itself I don�t know.  I was hoping I could use his anger to kill me right away.
There�s something in my back. It must have tore through the seat when Wu Fei speared the suit.  I can feel where it has ripped apart my spine.  Now it�s not only the suit that�s dying, but me as well.
I lean back into a sticky pool of blood on the seat.  I can�t move my back at all. Whatever it is in my back digs deeper.  The pain is unlike anything else I�ve experienced in my life.  I let go of the controls.
�That was glorious, Wu Fei�� I say.  He appears over the screen.  Just a boy forced to play the role of a man. It�s sad.
�Treize! You-� Wu Fei protests.  He is confused.  I feel bad for him, but I can�t do anything about it.
I can feel the pressure building up inside the suit.  It should only be a few more minutes before it explodes.  The object in my back � a piece of metal, probably � sends waves of pain throughout my body when I move.  I try not to recoil. 
�Everyone must compensate for their sins,� I explain to Wu Fei through the pain. �Even my death is not devoid of meaning. Wu Fei, my eternal friend, I�m honored to have fought with all of you��
It�s hard to breath.  Wu Fei says something, but I don�t hear it.  What Wu Fei does now is up to himself.  I think of Milliard and Libra. I know it�s impossible to talk any sense into my friend now.  Maybe my death will make him rethink his position.  I doubt it though.
�Milliard, I�m going ahead of you�� That�s it.  I don�t have the strength or energy to say anymore.  I close my eyes and wait. As I sit here my thoughts wander back to MO-II. I know Lady Une is on MO-II.  My death will put her in command of OZ. She will surrender Earth�s forces to White Fang.  Good.  That�s what I want.
I wish I had a chance to say goodbye to her.  Of all the people who meant so much to me, she was the only one who stayed faithfully by my side until the end.  If only I had told her how I felt when I still had a chance.  There�s nothing I can do about it now.  It�s over.  But still�
Lady, my last thoughts are for you.
I love you, Lady Une.
