(Sweet Revenge)
By: XCrimsonAngelX
OoOoOoO
Summary: Slight AU (some based on manga) The Earth Alliance killed Kira's parents, so now he holds a huge grudge against Naturals. As a result, he joined ZAFT, but Athrun does not know.
OoOoOoO
The door slammed open, and a swarm of people, all Naturals, scurried in. Two pointed guns at a male and female. A little brown haired boy hid behind his mother's legs.
"Hand the boy over." The apparent leader of the group demanded.
"I will not allow you to take my son away!" The woman screamed, in vainly trying to shield the 5-year-old child.
"If you won't hand him over, we'll have to do this the hard way." The leader stated, pointing a gun at the young mother's heart. She instantly shook her head, and right after blood trickled down from her mouth. She collapsed to the ground, dead. Her husband was furious. He ran forward to tackle them, but missed, and another gunshot was heard. He, too, was deceased. The small 5-year-old sobbed, profusely.
"Heh. Stupid parents." One of the men sneered, staring down onto the lifeless bodies. He then turned to the amethyst-eyed boy. "We'll let you live. For now. Kira Yamato."
OoOoOoO
Kira jolted upright in his bed. Cold sweat beads made their way down his forehead. He placed a hand against his temple, as tears almost welled up in his eyes. He looked at the clock stationed on the nightstand. It read in bold; red numbers 3:47 AM. Kira sighed, and plopped back down onto the white bed.
Today was the day. The day that the plan would take action. ZAFT forces would be arriving around 2:30 PM and capture the G Units. Dim-witted Naturals. They think they could hide such thing from ZAFT. Kira would be playing a Natural, and pilot the GAT-X105, also known as the Strike Gundam.
Kira groaned again, and got up from his comfortable bed. He started to get into his civilian clothing. Oh, yeah. He was also supposed to play a civilian too. Not to mention, making friends with Naturals. Kira sneered to himself.
OoOoOoO
Kira quietly entered the classroom. It was pretty early, but there were already a few people walking in and out.
"Hey, Kira!" Another brunette greeted, waving slightly. This was one of the "friends" Kira had made in Heliopolis, also known as Tolle Koenig. Kira mentally laughed, bitterly. They would have no idea what hit them. He was going to make sure of that.
Still Kira waved, nonetheless, while giving a "hey" in return. Tolle slung an arm around his shoulder. Kira shifted a bit uncomfortably, but he had gotten used to it over time.
"So, how ya doing?" Tolle grinned. Kira looked oddly at him, and shook his head. Naturals; he would never understand them, and they would never understand him.
"I'm fine, thanks. And you?" Kira asked, though gazing at the clock. It was only 8:05 AM. Too early.
Tolle continued on with the conversation until the bell rang, signalling all students to get to their classes.
OoOoOoO
Kira sat in the petite hut, typing on his laptop. Tolle and another girl, with brown-reddish hair and aqua blue eyes, approached him. Kira looked up from his laptop, quickly switching screens.
"Oh, there you are, Kira." Tolle managed to suppress a smile. "Professor Kato's been looking for you."
"He said if we found you, to bring you to the Morgenroete Lab." The female finished. Kira sighed.
"Sometimes, I wish he'd just leave me alone..." Kira trailed off. With Kira retrieved, the trio walked towards the location of the lab.
OoOoOoO
"What's wrong, Athrun?" A silver haired male questioned, looking at his fellow Coordinator, Athrun Zala. Athrun replied with nothing more than his first name. "You seem nervous. So unlike you."
"It's going to be easy to infiltrate the Aube colony." Dearka appeared, zipping up his suit. "The possibility that we would launch an attack hasn't occurred to them in their wildest dreams. You're not a chicken are you, Athrun?"
Athrun was shocked to say the least. Then Nicol stepped in.
"Of course not, Dearka!" Nicol retorted. "This is a dangerous mission! We can't let our guard down simply because Aube is a neutral nation!"
"Nicol is right." There were several surprised expressions. "This mission is of great significance. The Earth has developed new mobile weapons at the neutral colony, Aube, and it is your mission to seize them. Your success or failure will greatly impact the rest of the war. The fate of ZAFT rests upon your shoulders. We're counting on you!"
"Yessir! For the glory of ZAFT!" All five saluted (including Rusty).
OoOoOoO
"Kira, do you know what Professor Kato's researching at the Morgenroete?" Tolle inquired a straightforward question, but Kira wasn't too sure.
"Uhh... I think he's developing some kind of new operating system." Kira answered, still unsure. Miriallia slapped her forehead, and Tolle looked at him.
"You mean you don't know what you're helping him with?" Tolle half teased.
"That's so typical of you." Miriallia stated, sweatdropping.
"Hey! I'm just a student assistant! He doesn't give me any details!" Kira defended, somewhat narrowing his eyes. Even though he didn't show it, he extremely hated Naturals with a passion.
"I'm telling you! It's not what you think!" A voice of a woman exclaimed, somewhere in front of the threesome.
"Then what is it?" Another female sounded. The first one had red hair and soft azure eyes, she was also wearing a pink dress, which hugged pretty tightly around the waist. It was obvious she was ticked off, and annoyed.
For some abnormal reason, Kira felt something for the girl, as his cheeks started to warm up. He thought it was disgusting.
"Oh, Miriallia!" Exclaimed the pig-tailed girl. She came running up towards her friend, and the others followed. "Did you hear the big news?"
Miriallia appeared confused.
"Flay Allster got a love letter from Sai Argyle!" She pointed a finger up, knowingly. Miriallia gave a sharp "HUNH?! From Sai?!" Kira and Tolle glanced at each other, both thinking the same thing.
"C'mon! This has nothing to do with Miriallia!" Flay protested. Kira stared at the ground.
"Flay, why don't you just say yes? He's not that bad, is he?" Jessica nudged, winking.
"That's it! I've heard enough!" Flay growled, stomping away.
OoOoOoO
Finally, they arrived at the Morgenroete Research Facility. They entered, only to discover Kuzzey and Sai both waiting for Kira.
"Hi. I see you finally gave in?" Sai asked, jokingly, with a smile on his face. Kuzzey face faulted.
"I thought it was only supposed to be Kira..."
"You got a problem with us being here, huh, Kuzzey?" Tolle demanded, glaring at him.
"The professor added this too." Sai handed Kira a disk, and walked back to his position, earlier. Kira gave soft thanks, that's when Miriallia turned her attention to the male standing next to the door. Or what she assumed was a male, anyways. Kira smirked, inwardly. They really were without a doubt extremely dense. The guest was obviously a girl, hiding her hair. Hadn't they seen the chest? Not that Kira was a pervert or anything.
"Who's that?" Miriallia questioned, indicating to the female.
"That's a guest of the professor's," Sai paused to push up his glasses for dramatic effect. "Who was told to wait here."
OoOoOoO
Meanwhile, Athrun, Rusty, Yzak, Dearka, and Nicol were planting bombs at the Heliopolis gates.
"Hurry up, Athrun! We're 10 seconds behind schedule!" Athrun's partner shouted (I'm guessing it was Rusty).
"I got it!" Athrun finished planting the bomb, and flew off.
It's not like I was hoping for a war... Yet here I am fighting one. Kira... Where are you now? And what do you think of this war of ours...? Athrun was in deep thought. He missed Kira. He hadn't been able to see him in 2 years, since Athrun had left for the PLANT.
OoOoOoO
Kira looked at the clock placed on the wall next to where the female guest was leaning against. It's almost time...
What's he looking at? The blonde haired female narrowed her amber eyes, still staring at Kira. As if feeling someone staring at him, he turned his gaze to her. Their eyes locked, and you almost feel the tension. Nonetheless, they didn't say anything. She couldn't take his intense look, and focused her eyes elsewhere.
All of a sudden, there was an explosion that shook the whole building. Miriallia, scared, hugged Tolle tightly, screaming. Tolle merely seemed surprised. Kira smiled inwardly. The invasion had started. The red emergency lights went off.
"The emergency lights?" Kira pretended to be shocked. Kuzzey grabbed his hair.
"What's going on?!" Kuzzey yelled.
Could it be...? The amber-eyed girl pondered to herself, looking around curiously. Her eyes eventually fell on the amethyst-eyed male. He didn't seem very stunned with the abrupt blast. It was almost as if he were expecting it.
"Hey, there's an emergency exit!" Kuzzey shouted, opening the metal door. Immediately everyone gathered at the door. When it was open, a few collective gasps were heard. There were tons of people flooding inside one of the shelters.
Tolle found on of the guards and asked, "Excuse me, sir, what's going on?"
The guard turned to face the brunette, "I'm not sure! It appears that we're under attack by ZAFT!"
"By ZAFT?!" Kira spoke up, quite loudly.
"Apparently, mobile suits have penetrated the colony." Afterwards, there were many shouts and screams, while everyone was pushing to get into the shelter. The guest of the professor's hastily dashed off.
"Wait! Where are you going?!" Kira hurried after her. Tolle and Miriallia looked surprised.
OoOoOoO
Kira grasped the girl's wrist, and pulled her closer.
"Get away from me! There's something I absolutely have to confirm!" She cried, pushing Kira away. Kira was alarmed by the way her voice sounded. Sure, he knew she was a girl, but it seemed so feminine, and she didn't appear to be a kind of girl to be girlish. A new detonation occurred, and the girl's hat flew off.
She waited for a reaction. Kira didn't even look fazed.
"When you said that you have something to confirm, what did you mean?" Kira inquired. The blonde raised an eyebrow.
"Do you know where the testing block, D-13, is?" The brown haired Coordinator tugged at her wrist again.
They soon appeared at the block D-13. Kira said something about not having an ID pass, or code. A few beeps were heard, which informed Kira that the girl had obtained access. The metal door opened with a 'swish' and both gasped.
"THOSE ARE MOBILE SUITS!!" They exclaimed, together. Suddenly, the female beside Kira collapsed onto the ground, howling out, "Why'd you betray us, father?"
Kira had an expression of disbelief. But there was no time for explanations. He hauled her up again, and led her to a shelter. Unfortunately, it was full, so Kira had to persuade them to take the guest. They accepted, and Kira pushed her inside.
"Finally. I can get on with my mission." Kira sighed, put over a blue and white helmet, and pushed a button on one of the shoulder buckles. His clothing transformed into an Earth Alliance space suit. What more can you expect from a Coordinator?
OoOoOoO
Nicol, Dearka, and Yzak had loaded onto the three Gundams. Nicol was still reformatting the navdata.
"Done, Nicol?" Yzak asked, impatiently, tapping his fingers.
"Almost." There was a minute's pause. "Finished! Should we go give back up for Athrun and Rusty?"
"That won't be necessary. They can take care of themselves." Yzak replied, closing his eyes. "Our mission is to capture these mobile suits, undamaged. Wouldn't you agree, Nicol?"
"Yes, of course." Was a soft reply from Nicol.
OoOoOoO
Athrun and Rusty scurried through the factory, looking for the remaining two Gundams. A shot was heard. Athrun focused his attention to where the shot had been, only to see Rusty on the floor, bleeding. His eyes widened, and he frantically raced towards the woman who had blasted Rusty. Through all his rage, he managed to hit her in the arm. He saw an Earth Alliance member, or so he thought, heading towards the mobile suit that he was standing on, and he realized that he should be doing the same, so he headed for the GAT-X303.
"Ugh. You must be one of the G-pilots?" He nodded, and handed her a fake identification card. She confirmed it, and he boarded the G-Unit. Kira smirked. Naturals. So easily fooled. He then headed off towards the Versalius. The lieutenant then comprehended that this ID card was a bogus. She cursed.
"Damn."
OoOoOoO
"There aren't anymore shelters left!" Sai exclaimed, looking around, trying to seek a place for safety.
"What is that?!" Miriallia shrieked, indication to the Strike Gundam.
"Isn't that a mobile suit?" Tolle asked, unsure. It instantly flew off into space.
"What are you kids doing here?" A lady inquired. Her nametag stated that her name was Lieutenant Murrue Ramius.
"There aren't anymore shelters left, so we had to go outside. Wasn't that a mobile suit that just took off?" Sai answered for all three of them.
"You saw it?" Murrue questioned, fearing that they had. They nodded. Murrue slapped her forehead. There was a sudden blast that notified everyone present of something big. "The Archangel survived!"
Murrue was truly relieved, then frowned. All of the G-Units had been captured by ZAFT. Ensign Natarle Badgiruel, along with the surviving crewmembers of the Archangel, approached the tiny group.
"Who are they?" Natarle inquired. There seemed to be a lot of questions today.
"As you can see, they're just civilians, but they witnessed the capture of the G-Units. All of them were taken." Murrue stated, sadly. Natarle gasped.
"All of them?" When Murrue nodded, the first-mate of the Archangel punched her palm, furiously. "Damn ZAFT."
OoOoOoO
Authoress' Note: Well, that's the end of that chapter. Was it bad? Me sorry. This is my first ficcy, so please be nice. I'd greatly appreciate constructive criticism, and reviews. No flames, though. I'll use it to burn my school down. :P
