17.17: Blame

Andrew slammed 00, until 00 fell limp.

" You... You didn't tell me about my partner father! "

00 instantly turned into a human, he sat limp. Even though he is a robot, it does not mean he can survive if it is slammed like that.

" Sorry, Andrew.. "

" My father died because of you... My mother left because of you... "

00 bowed, while the other Gundam stared at Andrew. They should have told Andrew sooner.

" You... You know something and you don't tell me... Whys? "

Andrew stared at the 00 who were looking down continuously. He held back his tears, trying not to cry.

" We're partners, right? 00? "

00 remained silent, while Andrew who did not get any answer from 00 chuckled. He stared at the ceiling of the room while biting his lower lip, holding back tears from coming out considering his dead father in front of him.

" Yes, we're partners... "

" If we are partners... Does a partner hide something from his or her own partner? "

" I don't want to tell you, And. "

" Why? "

" Because I'm sure it's gonna hurt you so much. "

Andrew looked around, even so if 00 and the others told him early, he would know when his father died right? So that he can protect his parents?

" Even if it hurts my heart, doesn't mean you didn't tell me, does it? "

Everything's silent. Andrew asked for an explanation, 00 refused to answer, and Astray, Unicorn, Delta, Try Burning and Wing were also confused by the answer they were about to give.

" You know, I don't want any of this. "

Andrew smiled, even from his smile it was obvious that he was deeply hurt and devastated.

" Andrew, we- "

" What? You guyswhat? "

Andrew stared at Try Burning, tearful tears streaming down Andrew's cheeks. He's really broken and fucked up about this.

" I don't want any of this... I don't want my parents to leave me, I don't want to be the city's hero, I don't want to know about the galaxy and the planet... "

Andrew bit his lip again, he was completely overwhelmed with anger. Banshee and the few Gundams who heard Andrew's overflowing emotions from outside could only sigh. They understand how Andrew feels especially when 00, his partner is keeping something from him.

" I don't want to have Dark Power, don't want to be anyone's partner, I don't even want to meet you!!! "

" I'm sorry, Andrew... "

00 Votes, making Astray, Delta, Wing, Unicorn and Try Burning approach 00 and apologize to Andrew.

" We don't want any of this either.. " The unicorn replied, making the others just nod slowly.

" We didn't think it would happen... " Delta responded while bowing with regret.

" Andrew, are you okay? "

Banshee who saw Andrew immediately approached Andrew. Making Andrew just avoid Banshee.

" I'm okay, Banshee. I just want to be alone. "

Andrew used his Dark Power and darted away from the place, trying to find a place to calm down. His thoughts were chaotic, his heart was broken, everything was a mess. The original plan to help Vania and the others, was simply destroyed.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

00, Astray, Wing, Delta, Unicorn and Try Burning who were still in their place just fell silent to see Andrew who was leaving just like that.

" I told you, the consequences will be severe if we don't tell him. " Delta replied, he folded his two robot hands.

" You're giving Andrew a lead, right? Hints at the company and leads it there? " 00 stared at Delta, while Delta just nodded slowly.

" He's entitled to know that, 00. As long as we hide it, one day he'll know. "

" Once it is, I suggest we all find Andrew and tell him what he should know. You're his partner, we're his partner too! " Astray got up and went out of the room, followed by another Gundam.

The six Gundams darted in search of Andrew, lucky they found Andrew quickly. They landed slowly and approached Andrew slowly.

" I'm sorry, Andrew. Me and the others didn't expect that to happen. "

00 Now standing behind Andrew replied. He didn't dare to approach Andrew any more than that.

" I'm sorry or not, can both my parents come back? "

The six Gundams fell silent. Andrew still could not accept that, and the six of them realized that.

Suddenly, an attack rushed towards Andrew. It was fortunate that Darkness, and the Gundams instantly knew about it and counterattacked.

" What was that? "

Andrew turned his back, saw several warplanes shooting at them all.

" Time for battle, Andrew. "

Darkness whispers. Andrew was instantly enveloped by Darkness with a form of black Gundam. He immediately attacked the fighter plane.

" On your left! "

00 immediately threw his GN Sword and pushed the plane that was hurtling toward Andrew.

There was a brief war between the fighter and Andrew and his Gundam. The battle was won by Andrew and his friends.

" Nice works! " said Astray, making the others smile at each other. It seems they can work together.

" Yes, I'm sorry. It hurts, but.. What can I do? I can't repeat the time because someday my dad will die too. "

Andrew tall his building on the borders of Crystalshear, he smiled then looked at his comrades.

" Yeah, let's do it. "

The smiling Gundams then stood beside Andrew, preparing to dash towards Crystalshear and head straight for Fredery's base.

" Let's save our friends, partner. "
