Gundam SEED’s Final Destination

Mia walked alone to the auditorium of an amphitheater modeled after Roman times and sat down.

She wrote the note as Sarah instructed, and handed Harrow to her as well, and only waited for Lux to come.

However, would Lux ​​really come for that note?

Just thinking about what was going to happen next made Mia feel cold all over.

The small leather bag on the leg was heavy.

She didn't know whether she wanted Lux ​​to come, or she didn't want to come.

At this moment, with the high-pitched "Hello, hello" sound, the red hello rolled in from the entrance of the theater.

Mia was startled and looked over there.

Someone was hiding by the entrance, peering into the auditorium.

The man lowered his voice and called out her name.

"Mia!"

Mia stood up.

She had heard the voice and thought she would never hear it again.

"...Aslan?"

The youth hiding at the entrance was wearing sunglasses, but it was indeed Aslan Sara.

Thought he was dead!

I heard that he was shot down by the military on the charge of defecting, but the person who came out was undoubtedly Aslan.

Miya was so happy, she forgot Sarah's explanation that she was going to the stage and ran straight to the entrance.

"Aslan! Are you alive—?"

"Stop there and don't move!"

Aslan's voice was cold.

His outstretched hand was raised in front of him, and the black muzzle was glowing slightly.

"—Aslan?"

Mia was stunned, not knowing why he took a gun at her.

"We received your note and knew it was a trap."

Aslan felt the gun and walked forward, and said as he walked: "But Mia, this is the last chance, so we will come."

The last chance?

A picture flashed in Mia's mind, it was the hand he stretched out to her in the rainy night.

"Aslan, it's impossible to talk about it like this."

Seeing the figure walking out of Aslan's back and the sound as light as a bell, Mia seemed to have received an electric shock.

"Miss Lux...!"

I saw that man lifted his hood, revealing long pink hair that was slightly curled, and it was indeed Lux ​​Klein.

The queen of the colony was also the object of Mia's former admiration but now her hatred.

From that elf-like slender posture, gentle smile to everything, it is Mia's greatest desire in this life.

"Hello, Miss Mia. First meeting."

Lux's solemn greetings.

Two teenagers and girls of her age stood on either side of her with guns, as if to protect her.

"Your letter said 'help' and that someone was going to kill you."

She was talking, but the voice didn't reach Mia's ears.

"In that case, please come with me, we are here to save you."

"Then... ah..."

As Mia stepped back, she shook her head as if trembling.

No, this person is not Lux.

During this war, those who followed the Speaker all the way, comforted people, sang for them, and enlightened their souls—

"That's me! It's all me!"

Not this person! What has this person paid for?

She doesn't answer people's prayers and has been refusing to show her face, why is she running out to threaten my status now?

"Mia, calm down! Don't be afraid. We don't—"

Aslan stepped forward and comforted, but Mia just shouted: "I'm Lux!"

The cheers, smiles and love of the crowd used to be everything around her.

Mia felt that it was no one else but herself who was commensurate with those good things.

I paid so much, why can't I have those?

"Isn't it? It sounds the same and looks the same!"

People don't need that fake Lux! There is no need for two Lux Klein in this world!

Mia rummaged in her purse angrily, took out the pistol Sarah gave her, and held it out to the face that was exactly like hers.

"—I'm Lux, what's wrong?"

"Mia!"

A gunshot resounded in the theater.

The gun in Mia's hand flew away, and it was Aslan who shot it down.

"Enough, stop! You—"

I do not want to hear!

Raising her numb hand, Mia wanted to cover her ears, but a clear voice jumped into her ears first.

"—If you want this name, as well as the appearance, you can take it."

Mia looked at Lux walking forward in amazement.

How could Lux ​​give up everything she desires so easily?

Lux smiled slightly, with a faint hint of sadness.

"It's just... Even if you do that, you and I won't be the same person. That won't change."

"Different····"

I'm just different from her.

What I wanted was worthless to her.

At this moment, Mia once again felt her own humility.

No matter how similar his voice is or how similar his face is, he can't be Lacus Klein after all...

Mia, who discovered this fact, collapsed to the ground, her face full of despair and sadness.

Frey, who was hiding behind and watching Mia, trembled inexplicably.

Acting so seriously that I forgot myself——

But I saw Lux still whispering: "We can only be ourselves, we can't be others, but... It's because of this that you and I exist here, right?"

Mia raised her head tremblingly and saw Lux approaching, kneeling beside her, and staring at her intently: "That's why we meet others, and ourselves, isn't it?"

Lux was smiling at herself.

When I saw this smile on TV in the past, Mia always felt that I couldn't get tired of watching it. Now that I saw it with my own eyes, I felt that it was more dazzling than the one on TV.

This brilliance is the strength that she has exercised to live out herself.

"Your dream is yours, please sing it for yourself. Dreams cannot be used by others."

Unconsciously, tears welled up from Mia's eyes.

They are different.

Mia felt that she was inferior to Lux just now, but that was also wrong.

Lux's meaning is that no one should compare with each other, nor deny themselves, even if they are insignificant, they should fight for their own lives with all their strength.

So Lux sings Lux's song, Mia can sing her own song, without having to pretend to be someone else's gesture, or repeat someone else's words under someone's order.

Now, Lux is here face to face with Mia, equally independent and equal.

"Come, come with us?"

Holding Mia's hand, Lux stood up.

Seeing Mia standing up in a daze, Aslan was relieved and no longer stern.

But just thinking about it, a nervousness flashed across his face.

"Lux!"

With a quick tug, Aslan just pulled Lux ​​over.

Almost at the same time, a bullet flew between Mia and Lux ​​and hit the ground behind them.

The sound of gunfire shook the air in the theater.

Mia knelt in the corner and was shocked to see the second bullet swept past her, so she couldn't help but look back in astonishment.

- Sarah?

She forgot about the assistant.

The one who said he wanted to help her and urged her to get rid of Lux.

The two shots were fired at Lux by Sarah.

However, if the timing is not right, Mia may also be shot.

"come over!"

Aslan handed Lux ​​to another boy, and rushed towards Mia, who was slumped on the ground.

When Mia was half dragged and half pulled out by him, another bullet bounced off her feet.

"Why? Why don't you even care about me?"

Mia couldn't help screaming.

Aslan dragged her to the back of the cover and told her to hide inside, while he leaned out and replied quickly, "Because he doesn't need you anymore! Didn't I tell you?"

When he doesn't need you, he will kill you sooner or later!

The warning at that time was mixed with the gunshots at the moment, which sounded particularly vivid.

But Mia still couldn't believe it.

"Kira!"

Aslan shouted to several people hiding across the aisle, and another teenager responded: "Here!"

He immediately picked up Mia and rushed towards the wall over there.

After jumping out from behind the cover, several bullets immediately chased their footsteps.

In a hurry, Mia caught a glimpse of several men running in the audience.

bang bang bang-

Suddenly, before Mia could take a closer look, successive gunshots sounded from above.

And the several men also collapsed to the ground in the blood flowers, and the remaining men hurriedly threw themselves down to find cover.

Mia was stunned by this scene, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the gunshots.

I saw that Noel appeared there at an unknown time, leaning on the cover and raising his gun to shoot at the people in black uniforms below.

A strong shoving sensation came and Mia came back to her senses.

After Aslan pushed her into the shadows, he turned and rolled and rushed out.

Cooperating with Noel, they launched an attack on the crowd ambushing here.
