Special thanks to Capt Freedom who read through and made some minor changes to the errors in this chapter!
Sadly my original was lost but this one still explains the setting we are in.
The story you are about to read is an epic adventure that I spent a year designing, working and planning. I started it based on on little question I had and on one character I created based on my own struggles to deal with other people's expectations of me. I decided not to write it until I had a plot that was both exciting and surprising. The work I have put into this is probably a little extreme since it is only a fan fiction but I have enjoyed working on it and I hope to finish it by the end of next year! So read on and don't get shut off by the first few chapters it's a little slow in the beginning but I promise you that exciting things are ahead!
We all have memories that haunt us
We all have pain in our hearts
Please promise me when you look back
You'll remember me
That girl you loved but also hated
A memory that seeks Redemption
Cosmic Era: 89
In the aftermath of the second bloody Valentine war there was peace, a peace that many thought was every lasting. This peace was forged by Lacus Clyne and Cagalli Yula Attha fifteen years ago .
After the events of the second Bloody Valentine war Cagalli and Athrun spent a lot of time together trying to rebuild the strength of ORB and it's military and they soon found themselves in love all over again. Athrun asked Cagalli to marry him and nine months after their wedding she gave brith to a beautiful baby boy whom they named Uzumi Zala. A year after that Lacus Clyne gave birth to twins Leyas and Kiran Yamato. Kira and Lacus had just gone through a rough time in their relationship because of an incident of terrorists in Gibaltar and Lacus's growing political career. But they made it through the hard times and got married. After their wedding they adopted a young coordinator boy named Yaro Riague from Reverend Malchio's orphanage.
The peace they were in seemed unbreakable but there was a shadow over the land. John Liene, a man scarred by a past of loss and pain had worked in the shadows since the first bloody valentine war seeking to reorganize the world. He founded an organization called ROW and began to work on his plan. Using two children as experiments he began to create two perfect warriors. His plan was soon thwarted by one of his own and in a flurry of an incident in Gibraltar one of Liene's prized experiments was stolen. This did not stop him as he nurtured and raised the other child for the purpose of fulfilling his plan. ROW then began to work inside of nations stirring up unrest and creating civil wars. They then brought in the "answer" aiding both sides of each nation and gradually taking territory all in the name of peace. Many nations called to the PLANTs and to Lacus Clyne for help as their worlds shattered but as many of the council members and citizens thought that any military intervention would surely lead to more anti coordinator conflict she found herself unable to help any of the nations. This caused much pain and suffering.
Lacus Clyne has now been going through quite a bit in the PLANTs. The elections are coming up fast and there are many saying that she was becoming to weak for the world. The PLANTs were attacked a month before these elections and they were only saved by the efforts of the Tranquility and its mobile suit escort team which was in the PLANTs at the time for a political summit. As all of this went on Kira Yamato was completely unaware. He had received information months before the battle that led him to believe there was an abandoned ROW outpost on Mars. Thinking that this would lead him to more answers Kira quickly consulted with Lacus and then left the PLANTs in his ship the Liberty with her blessing. Now as Jayley Lired, Lacus's main opponent, wins over more people every day Lacus knows the time of peace is over and that she will soon be made a fugitive once again.
