Moments of Insanity They were a long way from Libra. So many years, so many lives lost. In the intervening years more death but birth too, and so much to look forward to. When he stood before the reactor, Yuy in Wing Zero as witness, he had not expected to live beyond a few agonizing seconds. Yuy had been out of ammunition and unable to destroy the reactor from a distance. That was one thing he had miscalculated, the amount of ammunition Wing Zero would have remaining. Epyon was not infallible, not that it had mattered, Yuy had escaped him for a few seconds only and he had always intended to destroy Libra. Their intention had been to use the fortress as a teaching aide. There could have been no peace while Libra existed. The temptation would have been too much and, like Barge, it had had to go. Like the Mobile Dolls and the mobile suits themselves. They all had to go. It was all a part of the plan. They had been there, even the doctor seated at his side. He had once been an Oz medic. Milliardo knew he had little to fear of the doctor’s loyalties; Pagan did not make mistakes when it came to those attending the Peacecraft siblings. Chang had been there, engaged in battle; doing what he had thought right. Killing Treize. //Hardly fair to Chang. Treize always intended to die; a martyr to peace. I’ve never really talked about it with him, not in any depth, but if they persist in this idiocy we will eventually. We can not afford not to talk about the war and our places in it.// Duo had been there too, and from what had been said in the past it had been Duo who had released the scientists responsible for creating the Gundams and completing Libra’s offensive capabilities. If they had not worked on the canon the Libra would have been far less of a threat… but eventually someone would have perfected the mechanics. At least he had been convincing enough in his role that they had sabotaged the programming to limit the damage the machine could do. There were moments during that trying time he felt he was truly insane. They had all had their moments of insanity in the war. That they had survived at all was a minor miracle and that anyone wanted him was… astounding. He could not give in to them. He dared not. He was King, much as he hated it and being a good King did not allow for him to engage in affairs of the heart. There would come a time when needs could not be ignored if he was to function for the good of Sanc. He was only human and a man, after all. Sating one’s need discretely could be arranged, but what these two fine young men wanted… No. He would not permit them to sully themselves. ~ * ~ |
