Duo is the son of Earth people. He was born on Earth. His
father had a sister who decided to emigrate to the L2 colony. They decided to
visit Duo�s aunt so she could see him. While they were on L2 there was a
plague. Just one of the many plagues that ripped through the colonies. Duo�s
parents died. So did his aunt. Solo found him wandering around. He was about
five years old and feverish. Solo him brought him back to� well it�s sort of an
orphanage. The street kids woulde ine in orphans and raise them. Each sector
had it�s own street orphanage. A lot of kids were orphaned. For about another
five or six years we raised Duo. We raised the entire orphanage. We were
thieves, beggars, grunt work, anything and everything. Up to and including
selling our bodies for sex, medical work, or anything that was needed. Anything
to make sure the younger ones had food. That they had water to drink and wash
in at least once a week. I can�t tell you how many times I stole so I had money
to buy medicines and vaccines for the young ones.

Now, if our sector had a surplus we would trade or give the
surplus to another sector. It was family, the closest thing to one we had. When
the plague came back, it hit harder. Solo fell ill. So did many of the Inner
Colony heads. The Inner Colonies are what we called the oragesages. They
predicted that this time the plague had a mortality rate of 97.825%.

The government of L2 made a huge mistake. Last time the
plague came through they developed a vaccine and a cure but simply gave it to
the rich and middle class with what was left over to the poor. poorpoor had
more need of it. Also they forget there are a lot more poor people than the
rich or middle class. By depriving us of it, they allowed it to live longer.
This led to riots.

They didn�t learn. They did the same thing. We would break
in and steal it, after all anything for the children. Solo did a noble thing.
Noble, yes but stupid. Even though it had hit him hard, he refused all
medication. When we finally got enough we vaccinated everyone. There were two
doses left. The only ones who had not been injected were Duo and Solo. Both of
them refused. Well once, I told Duo that everyone had been taken care of, he
took his. What he didn�t see was that Deci, one of
Solo�s second in commands, had brought in another child. The child was
feverish. Solo gave her his dose. Later we broke in and got more. We got back
about 3 hours after colony dawn. Solo died at dawn. We thought for the longest
if we hadn�t had to wait to break in then it would have been ok.

After that Duo was way hurting. I do think... in a way...
that he was in love with Solo. Solo was his everything, anything, and mostly
his only thing. Solo ruled in his world. Back then Duo was Deux
as in two. After Solo died he called himself Duo. Well, since most of the IC
leaders were dead, I and others decided to take advantage of the fact that
after the plague a lot of the worst bigots in the government got booted. All of
a sudden they noticed the large amounts of orphaned children. I got Duo sent to
Maxwell Church. It was in a rural area. As different from L2 as I could get.
There was trees and a sky that went on forever. His parents wanted him, he was
supposed to be an earth child. Circumstances forced him to live on L2. Once I
made sure he had snuck onto a certain ship, I paid the cargo master to �not
find� him. Then I contacted someone on Earth. They made sure he was eventually
led to the Maxwell church. I sent him to Earth.

You don�t know how much I regretted it. I discovered no one
in any of the colonies had a child missing or presumed dead that matched Duo,
so he had to be Earth born. I sent him home.

Then Maxwell church was attacked. When Duo found out that
what the attackers wanted was a mobile suit. He told them if they left the kids
and the priest and the nuns alone then he would get them a mobile suit. Duo is,
was, and always will be, a thief extraordinaire. He got onto a base, stole a
mobile suit. Only to get back to find that the attackers had shot everyone in
the head and destroyed the church. Duo died for the second time that day.

I heard about it and sought to come get Duo. I wanted to
take him back. I knew others could take care of the IC so I hopped a freighter.
I came to Earth. Many times I came close to Duo only to miss him. Soon the
authorities caught o hio him. They placed him in some kind of foster care and
sent him to school.

I took the time to steal his files and learn more about
Duo�s time away from me. They all mentioned his hair. His beautiful golden
brown hair. Since Solo died, I knew Duo had been growing it. Duo knew that
memorials are built and destroyed, so he made a memorial that won�t be. His
memories and his hair. That luscious length of chestnut.

Duo is not betraying you. Leave him be. Or you will find out
who he is exactly and what he can do.

More importantly, leave him be or I�ll kill you.

During his recitation no one spoke. Hex, looked around and
saw the other four Gundam pilots. Staring at them trying to communicate trust.
He turned towards the inspectors; Hex looked up at them.

"Duo has some family on Earth, but they don�t know he
exists. Until he fails to turn up on his twenty fourth birthday he will be
considered missing, if he doesn�t show up then he will be presumed dead and his
inheritance will be given away. Right now, he�s considered missing. I know his
true name. I know his true god, the god he was consecrated to. I know his
birthday. I had hopes to tell him all this in time. I thought I could wait and
let him find out bit by bit. Now that�s moot.

"I do not liked being rushed, gentlemen. You rushed me.
Duo, I ask you in the name of the love you once had for me, do not ask about
your past yet. Take what I have just told you and get comfortable with it. Will
you?"

"Yes. Hex?"

"Yes, hun?"

"Why don�t I remember my parents?"

"Your brain got fried. Duo, you were running a 103.7
fever. It blocked your past from you. It took me ten years to find out this
much. Give me a break."

"I have a family?"

"A third cousin several times removed. Wasn�t close to
your mother. Didn�t know you were born. Found out when they couldn�t claim your
inheritance. Now relax, Duo and just don�t ask any more, ok?"

"Tell me my name and I will not ask anything else."

"Damn you, brat."

"Please?" It takes a harder person than Hex to
resist the large limpid eyes that Duo turned to him. "Hex, please."

"OK, that�s it, ok?"

"Yes."

"Duval Anthony Misha. And no
you don�t need to know your last name. All I can say is that people who have
money give kids such pretentious names. Lunch is over. Go to class." Hex
picked up his lunch tray and dumped it in the trash. Leaving a stunned audience
behind him he headed out. When he passed Heero, he whispered, "Tonight,
six Gundams."

That night, the five pilots met in the lobby of the school.
They often made it a point to attend general meetings on Thursdays since it was
considered the most popular meeting of the week, including Fridays and
Saturdays.

Every night there was a general meeting that would last
until a quarter to ten. Lights out was at ten. Everyday had a different theme.

Monday- General info on what would be happening this week at
school. Announcements.

Tuesday- Game night, this night they played games in the
lobby.

Wednesday- Talent Night. This night was to showcase any and
all talents of the students, save storytelling

Thursday- Story Night, this night was reserved to tell
stories.

Friday- Party Night, this night the school sponsored trips
to clubs that would last until 2 a.m.

Saturday- Dance Night, the school would have a dathatthat
night.

That night was Thursday, and it was story night, an absence
during story night would look very suspicious. So they attended every Thursday,
even though none of the Gundam pilots ever told a story. That changed today.

Hex walked up to the huge ottoman in the center of the lobby
and sat down in a cross-legged fashion. The fireplace was to his back and the
warmth made him relax. Turning to face the crowd of students, he flashed a
brilliant smile.

"OK, I wouldn�t be here, but Duo asked me to. He claims
I told him the best stories. I never did. I only told him one story but it has
many parts. It�s a story that has over 15,000 episodes but I will only tell you
the beginning now. If you like the story, thank Duo. If you hate it, blame me.

Hex sat straightened his back and smile out at his audience.
Raising his voice, he started out in a half chant.

"This is the story of the powers

and the child they raised,

the child they gave to this world

to make our lives easier.

"This is the story of Shi no Musuko,

the son of death.
