"Relena..." Heero responded, his face showing signs of distress.
"Hold it right there!" Stella called out in an excited voice. "Don't move! If you even think about moving, I'll kill the President!"
"You'd save me the trouble... I've also come to kill Relena."
The soldiers fired their machine guns all at once.
Heero responded swiftly, taking advantage of the timing between barrages to shoot the nearby soldiers in the arms and legs. It was the only spot that wasn't bulletproof. Continuing on, he rolled on the floor, picking up the machine guns dropped by the first soldiers he hit. He fired at the remaining four, piercing their hips. (Or, he shot them in the ass haha) They collapsed on the spot, their faces distorting in extreme pain.
Stella and Relena stood ridgidly, their eyes open in astonishment.
"Relena, this is war. This is no longer beautiful."
Heero pointed the gun toward Stella.
"Stella Noventa, this is my final warning. Let Relena go."
Stella trembled in fear.
"There's... That's impossible..."
"Is that so?" Heero said in satisfaction as he was about to pull the trigger. Just then Relena made a move. She snatched the gun from Stella and one lone shot rang out in the room.
The bullet pierced Heero's chest.
Relena dropped the smoking gun from her trembling hands. Heero fell to his knees on the spot, clutching the hole in his chest. He was unable to stop the blood from rushing out.
"Relena... I still..."
He slouched forward.
"I didn't show you the brightness of my soul..."
His face was buried under the sea of blood that flowed out of him. The brilliance of his soul... That is what Relena once said to Heero.
"Heero..." Relena seemed to cry out woefully, now knowing whether Heero was still conscious.
It grew later in the night and the snow continued falling. The jet black wings fluttered gracefully.
