Author notes: This story is revamped completely now. Alternate Universe, in other words. Gundam Seed Destiny is coming to an end and we have known what happens after Kira was defeated by Shinn and got his Freedom back )

I will try my best to end this story where the original ends, meaning I shall follow some of the storyline that happened in the original story, focusing on Lacus and Kira, though, not showing much of Athrun, Cagalli or others. However, this story shall be different because of the different Lacus Clyne that I am going to write about.

Summary: SHE is Lacus Clyne. SHE is not who we think she is. SHE is not just a gentle girl. SHE could be ruthless till you chill. SHE might either end the world full of chaos with hers and her loved one's hands or die in the end for him.

Lacus Clyne shall pilot Strike Freedom, subsequently a new gundam called Ruth.

Enjoy D

Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam seed or its sequel – Gundam Seed Destiny. Nor do I own Lacus Clyne.

Phase 0: Prologue

She was scared of war.
She was scared of battling and so she hated fighting.
She was scared of losing her close friends and relatives in the ongoing conflict.
So she hated fighting.

She was a coward.

She was ZAFT's most famous celebrity – nicknamed as the Pink-Hair songstress, previously engaged to Athrun Zala, who was the son of then ZAFT Council Chairman Patrick Zala.
Her father was once a Head Chairman of PLANTS, but was overthrown from his leadership and was killed by people who believed in the radical ideals of Patrick Zala.
Her mother died after giving birth to her and so she had no memories of her mother at all.
Unknown to many, Lacus Clyne blamed herself for her mother's death.
She was the one who caused death to her father's most beloved woman.

She loved her father. But could not protect him.
Why? Because she was too scared to fight.

She was a coward.

If only she could muster up her courage to fight then, she might be able to protect her loved ones.

In the final battle prior to the end of the first war, she just could not yet muster up enough courage to pilot a mobile suit even when she could.
Instead, she commanded Eternal towards the road of peace.

Unknown to many, she had gone through piloting training in secret when she was still young and started to sing for peace, for ZAFT's morale boost - in a piloting simulator in fact.
And now she would use this secret ability of hers to send this powerful gundam to her beloved person - Kira Yamato.
She, Lacus Clyne - the previous Pink-Haired Songstress of PLANTS, shall finally muster up her own strength and courage to fight for peace.
And to fight, she shall yet again steal ZAFT's gundam but with her own strength.
Strike Freedom belongs to Kira Yamato and no one else.

She now has her courage to fight.
Finally.
For the sake of peace.

And she was a coward who has mustered enough courage finally.
