The Liberator of the Levitation
Prologue…
Slamming his hands on the table Yzak leaned forward his hair sliding over his shoulders to rest near his face. His blue eyes narrowed into a hard glare and as he spoke he had to remind himself to keep his anger in check.
"What is your name?" The man across the table merely looked at him. "Whom do you work for?" The man kept a straight face and didn't answer. "Answer me!" Yzak shouted hoping to startle the man and perhaps get him sweating. However neither happened as the man rested his feet on the table and leaned back in the chair.
"You sure do talk a lot." He said and Yzak bit his tongue before deciding that it was best to leave the room. Walking out and slamming the door behind himself he took a deep breath and entered the other room. Dearka, Athrun, and Cagalli glanced at him before returning their gaze to the two-way mirror monitoring the man on the other side. The man of course couldn't see them but he waved at them regardless.
"Glad to see you kept your anger in check." Athrun said with a small amused smile.
"Shut up Zala." He snapped. Cagalli glared at him.
"I thought you could get him to talk! He hasn't said anything and it's been two days since the capture."
"Just consider yourselves lucky that I came here at all! I have other things to do." Dearka went towards the door.
"I'm going to go get myself some coffee anyone want anything while I'm gone?" Athrun shook his head but Cagalli looked at him.
"Some water would be great."
"And get me a strong coffee." Yzak demanded rubbing his temples. "And some pills for this damn headache."
"No problem." As Dearka left the room Yzak sighed running his hand through his hair.
"Should I try and talk to that bastard again?"
"If you want." Athrun muttered turning to face him. "Did you think of something to get him to start talking?"
"No."
Yzak entered the room and the man yawned.
"Damn when can I go to bed?"
"When you start answering my questions." Yzak said sitting across from him. "Now lets try this again. What is your name?" The man stared at him and Yzak took a deep breath.
"What was the badge you were wearing mean? It looks like it's given to those of high ranks." The man nodded.
"It is."
Athrun glanced at Cagalli. "Well there you go." Cagalli glared at him.
"And what am I suppose to do with that information?"
"Its better then what we had before."
"Quiet! They're talking again." Cagalli hissed.
"And can you tell me what that badge meant?" Yzak asked and the man shrugged.
"Why not?" He pushed his black hair out of his face to stare at him. "It meant that I'm a Zeroman."
"A Zeroman?" Yzak asked looking confused. "How come I've never heard of that title before?"
"Few do. Don't feel too bad bud."
"So what does it mean exactly? Do you get any special privileges?"
"Yep."
"Can you explain to me what these privileges are?"
"Nope." Yzak nodded
"Is it the highest rank?"
"No. The highest rank is that of our leader."
"Your leader. Whom is this leader of yours?" The man laughed.
"A friend…He's a guy that's hard to dislike."
"And does this leader have a name."
"Yep."
"And do you know this name?"
"Yes. But I'm not going to tell you?"
"Loyal are we?" Yzak asked his tone flat.
"Till my last breath."
"Well he did better then any of our high paid negotiators." Cagalli said slightly impressed. "Yzak did good." Athrun slightly nodded and turned as the door opened. Dearka entered and handed Cagalli her bottled water. She thanked him before breaking of the cap and taking a sip. Dearka motioned with his head towards Yzak.
"He finished?"
"For today." Cagalli nodded. Dearka blinked.
"Today? Hate to burst your bubble gal but tomorrow our ship is heading out. Yzak's the commander of that thing."
"So?"
"Sooo… he's made other commitments."
"Fine. Fine. I understand" Cagalli said. Yzak entered and Dearka handed him his coffee and pills. Yzak took them and stared at the man across from them in the opposite room.
"I hate him." Dearka laughed.
"Yzak don't you have some paperwork you need to get done? You were sure bitching about it this morning."
"I forgot." He admitted with a hiss. Yzak looked at his watch and sighed. "Damn…Well I'm going."
"Take care of yourself." Athrun said over his shoulder.
"Easier said then done." He muttered. With that Yzak left and Dearka waved before following him out. Cagalli stared at the man in the room across from them.
"Get him locked up." She ordered of Athrun.
"The name is Chase Radical." The man said as Athrun pushed him into the cell. Athrun blinked.
"That's your name?"
"Yep."
"And you're telling me why?"
"Dunno?"
Four days later
He walked calmly his footsteps heavy and hard. A sound could be heard coming from underneath his black trench coat. A sound, which resembled that of metal banging against metal…gun against gun…a sound that stopped people cold. The strangers near him grabbed their children and raced away. He didn't seem to care as he continued onwards a frown set on his features. Taking his hat off and running his calloused hand through his hair he suddenly grinned. His black boots halted his shoulders straightening as he glanced to a café across the street.
"There they are." In the window of a Café one could see two people wrapped up in their own discussions. So wrapped up in fact that they failed to notice a tall figure cloaked in dark clothing staring directly at them. Athrun Zala and Cagalli Yula Athha. Placing his hat back on he pulled a gun a fired…
He saw it. Saw it zipping through the air. Gaining speed and drawing closer to its target. He raced forward and jumped the bullet striking his shoulder. Landing on the ground he clutched his wound cursing at how close it had come to hitting his neck. He heard gunfire ring out and stood drawing his own gun. Six of his men circled him firing at nine. 'Seems Dom had backup.' He noted to himself firing.
Athrun pulled Cagalli to the ground as a bullet zipped through the window. He could hear the rounds being loaded outside and pushed Cagalli down as the glass broke the shards falling on them.
"Keep your eyes closed." He yelled at her.
Another bullet got his knee and he screamed as he fell back. His back pressed against the outer wall of the café he heard his men scream in rage gaining the upper hand. The others fled but not before uttering some curses and swearing on their very souls to get them next time. He didn't try to stand knowing it would be useless.
"Liberator sir." Dawn said kneeling next to him. Dawn had been grazed on his left arm but otherwise looked well. "You're bleeding badly. We need to tend to those wounds."
"What about Athrun and Cagalli?"
"Zinc and Alex are checking up on them." Dawn whispered hoisting him to his feet then allowing him to lean on him. His other three men were panting and looking widly around weapons still drawn.
"They started taking out bystanders." Spark spat. The Liberator glanced at a woman in the distance her baby crying still in its baby carriage. She had been shot in the head.
"No." He whispered forgetting the pain in his leg and stumbling away from Dawn. "No, No, No." He fell and his men caught him.
"Sir. Clear that head of yours." Dave spat. "I don't mean to be disrespectful but you're breaking rule 18"
"Sorry…But that child. Kevin please ensure that it finds a proper home."
"Of course sir you need not tell me."
Athrun felt hands seize him and tear him away from Cagalli. He was planning on struggling and firing his gun but when the woman asked him if he was okay. He restrained himself and replied that he was.
"What was that about?" Cagalli asked peeking outside. Her eyes widened and she covered her mouth shaking her head.
"Oh no…"
"I think I managed to hit Dominic in the arm." Spark said happily putting his gun away.
"That was you?" Dawn asked pushing his hair back. Zinc came out of the Café with Alex and not to far behind them was Cagalli and Athrun.
"The liberator has been badly wounded." Spark announced and Dave nodded.
"We better get moving."
"What about us?" Cagalli demanded. Everyone turned to look at the two of them. And Cagalli gasped as she saw the person whom everyone had been addressing as 'Liberator'.
"Kira?" Athrun asked stunned.
"Isn't it obvious?" Kira said trying not to pass out from the blood loss "Since my enemies now know that you're important to me…they'll be coming after you…so to keep you safe you'll be coming with us."
This story is more of an experiment to see how people react to it…I'm not planning too many chapters but I can easily make it a good deal longer by throwing in more turmoil and a few extreme twists and turns thatI have already thought of…But that all depends on the readers response… If people really enjoy the story I'll make it to twenty chapters…if not one cannot expect more then five…Again I'm simply trying something new and am not sure if it will be that interesting…Review and give your honest opinion Good or Bad either are welcomed. Question's WILL be answered so long as they don't give away plot.

If warnings aren't enough then the lives must end .Liberated from pain, sorrow, madness and cruelty. May the next world not judge them for their own confusion and torment.'
