Spreading My Wings

By: Nareiya

Summary:

What if Shinn was able to recapture the Gouf that Athrun and Meyrin used to escape Gibraltar? What will happen? How will it affect the attacking of ZAFT in Orb? What will Cagalli do if she found out something that happened to Athrun? Please R & R! AsuCaga!


Author's Note:

Hey! It's me again!

Yeah, this just popped out of my head and my friend, Kat told me that it was nice to give a different ending in episode of 37 of GSD. Anyways, Shinn made a mistake and the world might regret this.

Don't worry; I think no one will die.

Sorry if I don't give the exact dialog. Please bear with my poor memory that only got 92 out of 100 in a quarterly test!

Here I present chapter one of the new story, Spreading My Wings!


Disclaimer: I do not own GS or GSD.

Chapter One: New Role, New Self

"Now, if I were you Athrun, go back there to Chairman so that he won't get suspicious!" Meer advised Athrun but he didn't want that. He can't stand it anymore. The fact that he is currently being persuaded and manipulated by the Chairman. Oh darn it, he has been completely fooled!

Athrun shook his head defiantly.

Then came the soldiers barging in the room, only to see Lacus Clyne alone and shivering in fright.

One of the soldiers looked at the window and BANG!

A kick there, a punch at the stomach and elbowing the ribs of the soldier was enough for Athrun Zala to initiate his great escape with Meer.

Or so what he thought so. He offered his hand when they went down one level in the metallic staircase but she declined and feared for her life.

Seeing that she was just getting his time wasted, he ran down.


At Meyrin's Quarter's… (Meyrin POV)

I was startled.

I don't know why there is this sudden commotion. Everyone is so noisy! Don't they know that some people are resting? As for me, I was again startled that Commander Zala just entered my room all of a sudden.

He then told me his situation.

"When they come in, tell them I threatened you with my gun." He instructed me but I shook my head.

"I have a better idea." I said and pulled him with me inside the comfort room. I began removing my uniform and I saw his eyes widen. Hasn't he seen any women strip before him?

Anyway, I ran the shower down to my magenta hair and wrapped a towel around my body. I rushed to the door and Commander Zala stayed at the comfort room.

I opened the door, "Sister, what's going on?" I inquired and even my sister, Lunamaria was shocked at the scene.

"Dre-dress up!" she told me and glared at the soldiers who were eyeing me maliciously.

I closed the door and I fell on my knees. I was scared. Really, to the max!

As I looked up, Commander Zala gave me a bathrobe and I was happy for his concern.

After that, I set some of the alarms to go on. Yes! I mentally cheered for myself. I am a heck of a computer wiz when it comes to this sort of things.

Then after changing to my uniform, we went outside.

"Get inside the car as soon as you see it." I whispered to him. He obliged my command because it was needed for the situation at hand.


Normal POV (At last!)

The two soldiers managed to reach their destination and got out of the car. They were about to board the mobile suit but the forever loyalist, Rey, started shooting at them.

"Rey!" Athrun tried to make contact with the former comrade, "Meyrin is…"

Shoot! Athrun thought, they were almost hit. He shoots back but he evaded it.

After some time for Rey to think, Athrun extended his hand to Meyrin and she took it. Off they went to escape the base.

Rey used the communicator (sorry, do not know what to call the thing), "Shinn, we need to pursue after the spy!"

Shinn obliged.

Soon after, Rey has already returned at the base and the Destiny and the Legend launched.

Shinn was surprise to know that they were after Athrun and Meyrin.

"Meyrin…and Athrun?" Shinn cannot believe them. They were closed to them but how can they betray ZAFT all of a sudden.

It's just strange, things don't add up. First, Athrun isn't that close with Meyrin and second, why would they escape? Those were the inquiries present in his mind.

"Athrun!" Shinn called out, "Just surrender and you'll be safe!"

"You don't understand!" Athrun retorted.

While Athrun was trying to convince Shinn that the Chairman was just using them, he found out that the legs of the mobile suit Athrun is using are somewhat worn off. (Okay, I just added this. This part never happened in GSD and so are the proceeding parts)

"We must kill them, Shinn!" Rey told his comrade but Shinn used his sword to cut the legs and the mobile suit was cut off balance.

"WH-what the!" Athrun and Meyrin felt that they were losing altitude but the Destiny got in time and rescued the unit they used to escape.

"Let go of me, Shinn!" Athrun cried out. Now he is powerless to do anything. Too powerless to retaliate to this so-called super ace.

Shinn ignored him and they went back to the base.


At the base…

Several soldiers restrained the retaliating blue-haired soldier while Meyrin was guarded by one soldier.

The Chairman stared at Rey and Rey gave him an odd look and gazed at Shinn. Now, everything seems clear with the Chairman.

"I want to speak with the accused soldier, Athrun Zala." The soldiers dragged Athrun inside the office of the Chairman.

The Chairman sighed. If Athrun had died out there, it would have been also a great lost even though they have Shinn at their side.

He sat down on his chair behind his desk and gestured for him to sit as well and he did.

"Let's talk about some serious matters, Athrun…" he said and did something that will change the life of Athrun Zala.


After Three Hours…

Shinn Asuka impatiently waited outside. He leaned against the wall and repeated the action of clenching and flexing his fist.

"Mey, say thank you to Shinn!" her older sister, Lunamaria instructed her younger sister to do.

Meyrin sighed. She wanted to justify her actions but it seems that she just needed to follow her sister. She was lucky enough that she wasn't accused of betrayal.

She bowed to Shinn, "Thank you Shinn."

Shinn nodded and told them to go away and they just followed him.

Then the Chairman and Athrun came out of the room.

"I hope you understand and you will do your best this time." The Chairman patted Athrun's back and he nodded.

"I will sir." He responded and the Chairman went inside his office.

Shinn walked together with Athrun. Somehow, his facial features differ. He looked more mature and his kindness seemed to fade.

"Ath—"

"It's COMMANDER Zala, Mr. Asuka." Athrun corrected him. Weird. The Athrun Zala he knew wasn't like this at all.

"Well, I…" he tried to say something.

Athrun faced him, "Let's just discuss it tomorrow. By the way, please inform the Mr. Za Burrel, Ms. Hawke and yourself to meet me at the virtual and simulation room by seven in the morning tomorrow."

"It's so early!" he complained and Athrun gave him an odd look.

"Do not hesitate or else a corresponding punishment shall be done in this act of yours is repeated. You should listen to me for I am your superior and I am the captain of FAITH." With that, Athrun left a confused Shinn Asuka behind.

"What has gotten to him?" he sighed and headed to tell his comrades about their training.


End of Chapter

Author's Note:

I would be updating my other fics about…a day or two. Also, I am afraid that my classes will be resuming at January 2 which is quite near…so the updates would be like once a week in all of my stories.

So much for that, please review and if you don't like this…I like this new plotline that popped from my mind!

Happy New Year to All!
