Gundam 00: Rise of China

"Major!"

Piris lay on the edge of the gravity chamber, staring at Wang Ye who was drifting towards Earth. She desperately reached out her hand, trying to grab the person she was destined to never catch.

She had considered jumping down to live and die with Wang Ye, but then she remembered what Wang Ye had told her not long ago: everyone has things they must do...

"What exactly did I do?"

Hallelujah is indeed a personality that Allelujah created in order to survive, but Mary's image also exists in his heart.

Or rather, at the super soldier test base, Mary was once regarded as a pillar of support, and then she underwent a brutal baptism in the spaceship.

Alleluia even viewed Mary as a form of redemption, a feeling that deeply influenced him.

Therefore, Hallelujah never expected that the salvation they believed in would appear before them in this form.

And then, in an absolutely dramatic way, I met myself again.

"Hallelujah, what have you been doing!"

"That's Mary! You almost killed Mary!"

Allelujah, who had been dormant or hiding behind the Hallelujah personality, immediately jumped out, thinking of how his beloved Mary had almost been killed by Hallelujah.

He was unusually furious; to him, Mary was the only person in the world who was sacred and inviolable!

Even my other personality, Hallelujah, is not allowed!

Immediately, Allelujah's personality began to struggle violently, trying to wrest his body back from Hallelujah's control.

Then he would take back Mary, whom he loved deeply, and live together forever.

"Mary!"

Feeling somewhat dazed, Hallelujah muttered to himself. Under the impact of Hallelujah's consciousness, the instincts of this personality were slowly suppressed.

Reaching out, Hallelujah maneuvered the Archangel Gundam in an attempt to grab Piris, who was still clinging to the edge of the gravity chamber.

At the same time, seemingly to show that he was harmless, he continued to shout at Piris on the public channel.

"Mary, Mary, Mary."

"It's me! It's me!"

"I've come to pick you up, Mary!"

The heartfelt cries sent shivers down one's spine, and amidst such cries, Piris's already aching head, which was suffering from brain quantum wave interference, became even more agonizing.

Adding to the fact that Major Wang Ye was about to die right before his eyes, it was as if a raging storm was surging through Piris's mental world.

"Mary?"

A consciousness emerged in Piris's mind because of these shouts, but after this consciousness came into contact with Piris's consciousness...

The other consciousness quickly faded away; one could say that compared to the now unwavering and deeply committed consciousness of Piris, that other consciousness was utterly insignificant.

"I'm not Mary, I'm Lieutenant Soma Piris, Super Soldier Number One, under Major Wang Ye of the Human Revolutionary Alliance!"

Suddenly standing up, faced with the reality of Major Wang Ye's impending death, Piris's inner turmoil seemed insignificant.

Piris, his voice hoarse from shouting "Hallelujah!" at the still nauseatingly chanting his own words, roared out his decision.

"Gundam pilots from Celestial Being, one day I will represent the Human Reform League to capture you all and make you pay the price!"

"Mary?"

These words stunned Hallelujah, and also stunned Allelujah, who shared a body with Hallelujah.

"Mary, Mary, Mary."

Alleluia could hardly believe what he was hearing as the name of his salvation howled wildly inside his body.

He recalled his childhood days at the super soldier testing base, and the sight of Mary lying unconscious on the experimental table, unable to move.

Unable to accept the reality before him, Alleluia let out a chilling howl, like a wild beast dying.

"It's all your fault, it's all your fault, Hallelujah, what have you done!"

My Mary!

However, compared to Allelujah's inability to accept it, although Hallelujah was also momentarily taken aback, he quickly realized that his ideal woman was Mary.

That is, after the current Human Revolutionary Alliance super soldier Soma Piris issued a death sentence to himself.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

He laughed wildly, looking up at the sky, and tears streamed down his face.

"Oh, I see. So that's how it is!"

Speaking in incomprehensible words, Hallelujah's eyes flashed with malice as he stared at Mary on the screen, who was glaring at him with hostility.

Hallelujah, his eyes gleaming with malice, gritted his teeth, clearly intending to kill!

"Hallelujah, what do you think you're doing!"

The two-in-one Allelujah instantly sensed what the other consciousness Hallelujah wanted to do. Did it actually want to kill its Mary?

"Stop!"

There was no way to let Hallelujah do such a thing, and Hallelujah struggled even more frantically in his mind.

It was precisely because of Alleluia's struggle that Halleluia was unable to properly control the machine to kill Piris.

Stop pretending, Allelujah!

"You're just pitying Mary, aren't you? You're trying to find validation in Mary lying on that lab table back then!"

"Look, I'm already in a terrible situation, but there's someone here who's even worse off than me. Does that make me seem less terrible?"

Hallelujah maliciously commented on Allelujah's feelings for Mary, wanting to shatter Allelujah's self-righteous idealism with the most vicious words.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I love Mary!"

Continuing to struggle frantically, how could Alleluia possibly accept such an accusation from Halleluia?

For him, that period of time was the only light in the super soldier test base!

"Then why didn't you take Mary with you when you ran away?"

"When you passed by Mary's lab, you didn't even go in for a second!"

That is…

"That's because...time was too tight!"

Speechless for a moment after being accused by Hallelujah, Hallelujah's momentum clearly weakened, but he still managed to come up with an explanation.

"Really? Since you love Mary so deeply."

"Then why did you escape the super-soldier testing base?"

"If he loves Mary so much, why isn't he with her at the super-soldier testing base?"

"Aren't you worried about how lonely Mary will be, and what kind of hellish torment she'll suffer, all alone at the super-soldier testing base after you leave?"

With a mocking expression, Hallelujah gradually regained control of his body, facing the Allelujah who had been severely hurt by his words.

Hallelujah, not one to let him off the hook, delivered the fatal blow.

Stop glorifying yourself, you hypocritical bastard.

Is it meaningful to find an excuse to redeem oneself?

"I am you, and you are me. We're all cut from the same cloth; we'll do anything to survive!"

So let's face it, we're villains!

After uttering those words, Hallelujah clearly felt his consciousness within his body fall into a deathly silence.

Just as Hallelujah was about to continue what he hadn't finished, he suddenly noticed a red shooting star streaking across the screen.
