All the regular crap here. This is my first chappy in a new FanFic. An idea I thought up of all on my own. Yay! Please read and review so I know what you think. The second chapter for this is already in my mind, but since this is my school exam time of the year, it might be anywhere from a few days to a week from appearing.
Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam SEED, unfortunately.
Remember, R&R or Kira will aim for you next time on the battle field .
Kira: What? I never said that!
Athrun: Why did you let them kidnap me?
Joker: Who's writing the story here? If you don't want more painful things to happen to the both of you throughout the story, be grateful.
Athrun's Trial - Chapter 1: Kidnapping
"I didn't ask for this, I didn't want any of this," Athrun thought bleakly as he listened to the constant gun fire ringing around him. He'd been avoiding this situation for weeks. Chair Woman Canaver had made repeated requests to the Orb Government to extradite him back to PLANT for trial on charges of Treason and Aiding a Fugitive. Orb had refused saying that no person by the name of Athrun Zala was residing in the country at this time. The only reason for this was because that Cagali had erased all the official records pertaining to Athrun and in a fake biography, he was "Alex Dino" personal attendant/guard to the Attha family. Eileen had not listened to the Orb Government, knowing Athrun was in Orb, she took the ruthless approach and sent members of the FAITH team to retrieve him.
Athrun wasn't going to back to PLANT, he just wasn't going to accept the fate for those who had the charges of Treason and Aiding Fugitive's fall upon him. There was only one consequence acceptable to the people of PLANT for those charges, Death. Athrun shot at several of the approaching Coordinators, he hit the three he'd shot at right where he'd aimed. He wasn't an ace for no reason. Unfortunately for Athrun, while he was distracted with what was approaching infront of him, he had no idea what was behind him. Though he tried to remain vigilant, he failed to notice a group of four coordinators approach from behind. The leader struck him on the head. Athrun fell to the floor unconscious. They quickly placed him into the highest security restraints they had before taking him back to their mirage colloid submarine, Cagali Yula Attha wasn't going to be seeing her body guard for a long time.
The first thing Athrun was aware of when he awoke was a large pain at the back of his head, when he tried to move his arms to rub his head however, he found that they were locked to the bed he was laying on. Wait, bed? He thought, "oh no!" He'd been kidnapped by the ZAFT forces. "Shit!" He thought miserably. The door opened then and he saw a tall commander walk through, he was a member of the moderate faction of the Supreme Council, just great. Canaver had him. She was going to make sure he stood trial for everything he'd done during the war. "Athrun Zala, its been a long time. Chairwoman Canaver is looking forward to seeing you again." The man smiled cruelly.
"I don't know where you get the name Athrun Zala from," Athrun stated blatantly, "My name is not Athrun Zala, and I don't even know you people. Why am I here?"
"Denying it eh?" The man smirked, "That's fine, it doesn't matter. We already did a DNA test on you, it proves with 100% accuracy that you're Athrun Zala. As a Coordinator you're one of a kind boy. Emerald Eyes and Blue hair."
"Is that so." Athrun just stared, "Where are we anyway?"
"On a shuttle to the homeland," The man smirked at the fear in Athrun's eyes, "You're going to stand trial for all of your crimes. Then I'm going to have the great pleasure of being in the execution squad when you're convicted."
"Oh really, since when did the humane methods of execution leave PLANT?" Athrun queried.
"They didn't, these are just the ones reserved for traitors." The man smiled.
Meanwhile at Athrun's sea side home in Orb, Kira was stunned. The place was a wreck, not to mention that Athrun wasn't there. Something had happened, something bad. Kira continued walking through the mansion that Athrun often shared with Cagali and noticed that there were bloody corpses in the living room. Athrun had been shooting someone, but who? Then he made the most chilling discovery, near the table in the corner of the room, where Athrun looked to have made his last stand, there was a relatively large pool of blood and some blue hair. Kira was worried now, without waiting an instant longer, he called for Cagali.
"Cagali, I don't care if you're in Cabinet meetings right now." Kira yelled, "Just bring yourself and the best forensics team you have available to Athrun's house. He's missing, and theres a few dead bodies in here. I'm worried Cagali, what if Canaver took him back to the PLANTS?"
"I'll be right there Kira, don't leave. Keep your eyes open too, there might be some more of them lurking around." Cagali said.
"Alright, just get here fast." Kira answered and then hung up. He was getting more worried by the minute, he knew what the plants wanted to charge Athrun with. It'd be hell for the young man who wasn't even eighteen yet.
"I'm afraid I have to leave Cabinet for the day my fellow representatives," Cagali announced, "Some troubling events have been bought to my attention. I must go and investigate them personally. We shall reconvene tomorrow, Cabinet dismissed."
"Would you inform us of these events before you leave?" Unato queried.
"No I will not." Cagali answered, "These are private matters that may impact the nation, I will see to them personally and make an appropriate decision based on what is placed before me."
"Very well," Unato sighed, "Just make sure to inform us if its something important."
"Done," Cagali said as she bolted out of the Cabinet Chamber.
When Cagali arrived at her and Athrun's seaside home she was shocked, the windows were shattered, Athrun's car had been blown up. She was more horrified when she entered the house to find blood, bullets and corpses all over the living room. It scared Cagali more to think about what might have happened to Athrun then the dead men in her living room. They'd been killed instantly, given the bullet wounds. She knew Athrun was deadly with guns, if he aimed at your vitals, you had about a 2% chance of survival if at all. "What have you found Kira?" Cagali asked.
"Not much," Kira answered grimly, "Corpses, Bullets, and Blood. As well as some of Athrun's hair in a pool of blood I think. That's what the forensic team was for. I don't even need to tell you that Canaver did this do I?"
"No, you don't. The real question is, can we prove it?" Cagali asked.
"Do you think he might have had time to leave us a message of some sort before they kidnapped him?" Kira asked.
"This is Athrun we're talking about," Cagali mused, "If he left a message, it'll be well hidden. Either his computer, or he sent it to one of us. You take his computer, hack it, decrypt it, whatever, just tell me if you can find any recently created video or document files. Any time yesterday. Read and Watch them all and hopefully we turn up something."
"Alright," Kira sighed, "I'll call you if I find something."
Kira had been sifting through Athrun's computer for hours now, he was nearly finished. Athrun being Athrun, if he was suspicious of something, wouldn't name a file in an obvious way. He had a few experiment reports to read and a video from an experiment, but that was all. When Kira got to the video, his heart stopped. It was Athrun facing the camera desperately, his hands racing over the keyboard. "Kira, Cagali, whoever finds this. I didn't have much time. Eileen Canaver sent a FAITH team to kidnap me. If you need proof, check the desk draw in my bedroom, it has a false floor in it. That should be all the proof you need."
Kira grabbed his phone and dialed Cagali's number. "Cagali here," She answered glumly.
"Cagali, I hacked his computer." Kira said worriedly, "He left us a video. All it said was 'Kira, Cagali, whoever finds this. I didn't have much time. Eileen Canaver sent a FAITH team to kidnap me. If you need proof, check the desk draw in my bedroom, it has a false floor in it. That should be all the proof you need.'"
"Shit, ok, I'm taking this to Cabinet tomorrow." Cagali cried, "We'll make a few enquiries to the PLANTS and try and find him. I don't think this will be a quiet affair though, Canaver wants to make an example of him Kira. You go to his place and find what he left in his draw right now, we may need it."
"Alright, I'm on my way now." Kira answered. What did he leave? Kira wondered as he continued driving back to the Seaside Mansion.
Hmm, Its an interesting chapter I think. And reviews will make the next part magically appear a lot easier. Read and Review or get shot dead. Your choice.
Haha, just remember, I like writing and the more you R&R, the more I write and enjoy myself!
