NOT REALLY EDITED because I' overtypos are okay, but there's probably more than a feords that are words, but not the words I meant so spell check doesn't catch them Eh

Anyway,

MC File 4 (last part)

We ere assigned ”Operation Mythos” ai Mars to an end Not just the AC era Earth Sphere, but the MC era Mars also couldn't make ”total pacifism” happen no matter how much they called for it Certainly, everyone and their brother's uncle was beco unhappy It was caused by the existence of the Mars Federal Government's second president Relena Peacecraft and the ”PPP” function The trouble with this ”total pacifis demilitarization and nonviolence, it extols freedom and independence Further, it's a problem that all exceptions aren't addressed because it is ”total” [pacifism] If it weren't for Preventer, the Earth Sphere's peace would likely be i the peace after the fighting takes either control by a huge power or controlling revolutions that would secretly stea peace447/1/2-3, but at present, doing that robs the people of their freedom and independence The majority of people aren't armed and they're the ones who'll be killed And the worst case scenario--if the ”PPP” is activated--of the two billion people that make up the whole of the Mars population, about half, ie one billion, would die Mixed into the vaccine required to irate to Mars are several nanomachines and those are connected to the ”PPP” It's unknoho or when or why this program was discovered or completed However, it's knoho spread the nanomachines It was Mars Federal Government's first president, Dix Neuf Neuenheim, alias Miliardo He sche [co Relena in hand and the means to initiate [the PPP] at any tily simple It spread via internet and it's possible for ”PPP” to order the nanoht conveys the order, or high frequency sound waves, simple vibrations The order is one word: set The nanomachines mass at one place within a person's blood vessles That is its only function, but it causes thro of the arteries all over the body and causes brain and mycordial infarctions Another problem is that this response (resonates) with other nanomachines, ones intended for medicinal purposes In other words, it won't stop at just Mars beause there are people in the Earth Sphere who have been given medical nanoin that would kill unsuspecting people regardless of their being on [Mars], Earth, or the colonies It would lead to the genocide of roughly three billion people It was AC 197, April 9th when this [reality] came to be known It was the day after Relena Peacecraft's seventeenth birthday It was discovered when theitself ”次の政府エピオン・ド・トロス” occupied the Cinq Kingdom castle I didn't think I'll discuss the events of that day here I' that happened that day Froraiven at the time of Relena Peacecraft's death Neither suicide nor an unexpected accident can circu All she can do is to live forever There is no way to release her froram There is an extremely difficult password [on the system] The solitary exception is that Relena apparently dies peacefully 447/3/2-3< the=”” only=”” way=”” to=”” ”=”” is=”” if=”” she=”” herself=”” wishes=”” it=”” and=”” dies=”” as=”” if=”” peacefully=”” in=”” her=”” sleep=”” that=”” slight=”” possibility=”” is=”” attested=”” to=”” by=”” her=”” having=”” been=”” in=”” a=”” state=”” of=”” superficial=”” animation=”” inside=”” {the=”” little=”” prince}=”” the=”” probability=”” of=”” that=”” [being=”” the=”” case]=”” is=”” in=”” the=”” single=”” digits--no,=”” less=”” that=”” that=”” as=”” long=”” as=”” she=”” hopes=”” for=”” total=”” pacifisly=”” die=”” after=”” all,=”” she=”” entered=”” the=”” hibernation=”” capsule=”” of=”” her=”” own=”” volition=”” in=”” ac=”” 197=”” while=”” she=”” was=”” sleeping=”” she=”” was=”” hoping=”” the=”” accursed=”” program=”” would=”” be=”” terminated=”” as=”” if=”” to=”” follow=”” after=”” relena=”” was=”” frozen,=”” heero=”” yuy=”” used=”” the=”” {sleeping=”” beauty}=”” [capsule]=”” and=”” beca=”” did=”” he=”” have?=”” could=”” relena=”” have=”” asked=”” hiood?!)=”” to=”” have=”” been=”” pure=”” luck=”” decades=”” later--,=”” relena=”” awoke=”” it's=”” unknown=”” who=”” woke=”” her=”” but=”” there's=”” not=”” a=”” quibble=”” that=”” it=”” was=”” done]=”” in=”” a=”” state=”” of=”” eency=”” dorothy=”” t=”” catalonia=”” of=”” the=”” earth=”” sphere=”” united=”” nations=”” determined=””>

Operation Mythos That was a careless war Heero Yuy was deforsted and will (be made to) murder Relena Peacecraft Relena wishes for that, too [The chances of it working] are low, but it's worth a shot Suppose it doesn't matter one whit if it's a ”peaceful death” Ulti half of the Mars population under the rule of Earth once more

There is no justice for us

We have no ambition to conquer Mars

We don't have the heart to make people happy

I know there is nothing beyond this victory

Neverhteless, all I can do if fight

At present--the fighting wasn't over The Worst Night Dance continued We had the ”Chouxhook 2” surface in the ht ocean and made rounds of the battlefield that was the volcanic island And then we stopped e reached a position from which Prometheus was directly in front of us our shi+p had noTwo er hatch was still out of order, the couldn't be fired

”What did you plan to do?” Catherine asked at my back

”” I couldn't answer immediately I folded

In the center of the volcanic island, Pro over its right shoulder suddenly stood up It was held with east It see

Tenwith the houy was okay since there wasn't an explosion nor did he ihts of the ”Revolution” were still there in the ocean Now, they were probably dukeing it out even as they were getting tossed around by the jet current The beareat if he showed his abilities, reading the current, feeling the enerets There's no question he would win if he tried to screw driver with the two scythes But all that only applied if he has the skills for sub If he doesn't have that experienceOh well Flounder, struggling, and bending over backwards suited that guy Like his father, he had an aard coolness [to hih

Pro the ”space heart” You could say that was her weak point That one point was our only advantage We were going to completely succeed 499/1/10 The Prometheus, like the one in the myths, is probably best described as a sy from the Go's side, from man's point of view, he was a ”culture hero” and it wouldn't be incorrect to say that he was an idealist pursuing freedoave mankind fire From that time on, ry over the betrayal and treason He had [Pro eagles ((soans But, was it really right to have given iven Eve the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden?

Was Pro before us, a traitor to Earth or the savor ouls free Mars? Or was it that beautiful, ephemeral soldier?

Prometheus moved Katrine appeared on the monitor

”This is Katrine Oud [1] WinnerDoktor T, are you prepared?” She asked as she had the heavy cross-shaped canon's aim fixed on our shi+p

”I' about it, that was probalby ain ”Since we've lost” Like always, the six letters that spelled ”defeat” matched us perfectly ”Hurry up and fireNeither msyelf nor Catherine will run or hide”

”Are you going to surrender?”

Through the limpses of the admiration on Katrine's face

”That's what I meant to say”

”Understoodthen lay down your arms and surrender I don't want to hurt you”

”No,” I said without hesitance

”Huh?”

”I'll surrender but I won't lay down arms”

”I don't knohat you mean”

”I'll say it again: I surrender But I will not give you {Snow White} or {Scheherazade}”

”What are you up to?”

I snorted, ”Impressiveyou 'space heart'”

The color drained froh the shi+p

”{シーベンツバーク・赤} {shi+bentsu baaku [2] rood [3] furudoroo}fire!”

A second later, a red arrow enveloped in red-hot flaht ht becah Proatling fire The {fire bird} then scattered As it was dispersed, however, sparks went flying and landed on Proreen material

”{七つの矮星・青} {Seven Waisei - Blue}, knockingset updrawing”

Again, the sound of a voice setting up the next arrow caed to make it in ti {Snow White} I was relieved Also, I regretted that I had doubted him, even for a second But, the Professor's h to make even me doubt him No doubt it had been the Professor who had prepared that deep green cloak If he hadn't gone to such lengths, he wouldn't have fooled either me or Katrine--who could read his ”space heart”

”It's Quatre in {Snow White}!my brother, Quatre?” Katrine's question was laced with disbelief She'd been attacked by the person she'd believed was her ”partner in betrayal” She'd want to hear/aask again Regarding that point, the Professor confirmed from a different direction:

”I asked you before, didn't Iare you living as you want to?”

Once KAtrine heard that voice, she seened

”Yes--”

The blue eyes behind the goggled brimmed with fear

”--(that ti the answer to that”

I was there when those siblings had had that conversation It was at that small hospital--the wood-crafted, bird house-like ”Winner Hospital” It was run by a female doctor named Iria

Professor W spoke coldly, ”And I believe I said [you'd] surely find the answer if [you] lived” I felt that he was more displeased than usual The ”ZERO syste to do with that That man's (expiation consciousness) drowned out his ”filial love” and ”considerateness” more than was strictly necessary On top of that, he denied asking for forgiveness (with tears and apologies) That man's tears were already frozen

Katrine cried out, ”But I!” It was certainly a (cry of the heart) close to a shriek ”I want everyone to be happier than I've ever been!”

That was the conclusion gentle Katrine espoused It seemed we [ie Trowa and his partners] were included in that ”everyone” She wished for the happiness of the one-time comrades she had betrayed It's possible that her tears were also frozen Hoad this girl was It appeared that Professor W, confir his volition, decided to take cool-headed action

”Furudoroorelease!”

Once again, an arrow of light shot fros of sub-zero ice In the ht deployed in four directions, stretching out in a cross that bore a close resenus is the incarnation of Zeus Obviously that God had no intention of forgiving this titan The glittering constellation widened over Pro [out] air (that was close to freezing cold) Suddenly, the sparks staining the deep green cloak underwent a chee Pale flames shot up The nanodefensors cloak was burned up by that flame I could see Prometheus within that pillar of white flauilt The unar) openly exposed the inner structure It was a mad suit Half the face was covered with a clown mask You wouldn't be far off the mark to call that suit a {Gundam} I didn't care about na, in a state of immobility The attack used the ultimate temperature differences [caused by the] {Red Bird} and {Blue Bird} to make it hard [for Prometheus] to move

”This is {Snow White}mission accomplished” The Professor reported in an emotionally pressed monotone A rather difficult role had been foisted upon hientle self

”Rogerwe'll handle the rest” There was no response froh the co as he slept Professor W probably passed out in the cockpit That was the result that followed such a ht and now, the Professor had intentionally, constantly kept his heart closed He broke off [his connection with his] ”space heart”--even a second's worth of carelessness would immediately synchronized his [heart] with his sister's and allow theht up until now That is to say it was si for one whole day Controlling that, surpassing it, he caught an overwhel victory It was only normal to faint, wasn't it?

Turning around, I told Catherine, ”Take {Scheherazade} out” It would be possible for her to take out that Prometheus only now that the nanodefensors were out of the equation The incomplete Scheherazade was more than sufficient

”Will you pilot?”

”Yeslooks like I'm a match for the battlefield after all” That's the role of a clown like me

That's when it happened

The plaintive tones of a violin rang out it was Revel's ”Pavane of a Dead Princess” While it was a si in ly beautiful This perfor was actually quite unique and I'd only heard it once before When I heard it before, it was playing a waltz with a gypsycalled ”Endless Waltz”

”This is {Scheherazade}I' to attack”

On the screen appeared -like knit cap That violin had long ago been owned by Professor W and then bequeathed to Katrine That songif not an earnest man

”Phobos?” Catherine asked in surprise
