The Messenger/The Weapon
Title: The Messenger Character: Heero Yuy Team: Gundam Word Count: 100 first try!
Heero Yuy knew he was far from perfect. But Fate had determined that he be the one to carry the message. Peacecraft, that crafty bastard, knew what he was doing. And Yuy understood the risks.
Well, it was all for the colonies, wasn't it? Better to be a few lines in the history books than alive in a world of war and suffering.
Squaring his shoulders, Yuy stepped to the podium and looked out over the sea of faces, hopeful his words would help bring peace.
Minutes later, an assassin's bullet ended his life, but Yuy's name would live on.
Title: The Weapon Character: Heero Yuy Team: Gundam Word Count: 100 A/N: Edited to add story and lj-cuts
Heero Yuy knew he was far from perfect. Fate had determined that he shoulder the burden of carrying a final message to Earth.
He had borne extreme, brutal training, pain necessary to forge a weapon. A katana is repeatedly hammered and plunged into flames. He had been transformed from child assassin to Gundam pilot; he'd soon be a mass murderer. Surely the men who shaped him were certain their plans would succeed; he'd be sacrificed for a greater good.
No need to think about a future. He'd follow orders, and die, alone.
