"Sky Akerist to the launching bay...Sky Akerist to launching bay"

That voice... it's so far away. What does it want...?

A boy, no older than 16 lay in his bed aboard the space ship Alias of Zaft forces.

"Sky Akerist to launching bay" the voice repeated. Suddenly the boy sat up, his blond hair falling messily over his crimson eyes. He quickly got up and out of his bed, slipping his piloting gear on over his clothes, which he had slept in too tired by the trip there to care to take off. It's burgundy color, with grey design on the shoulders legs and other parts. He rushed over to the door and, quickly opening it ran out, only just managing to stop himself from ramming into a man.

"Hey watch it!" he said but then after looking the boy over,

"Oh, I'm sorry...Are you one of the pilots? I'm sorry..." then hurried off, though the boy didn't pay much attention to him.

"I don't have time for this!" he mumbled, racing down the hall. This was his first day on the Alias, the newest of the Zaft fleet. It contained two completely new mobile suits, both of which had been made by earth forces then intercepted by the Zaft ship Nazca class before being sent here. Once this ship had gotten hold of the mobile suits all they'd needed to become an official part of them war was a crew or at least two new pilots. He'd been chosen as a good candidate for a pilot and now, here he was about to get shot into space in side of one of the newest mobile suites, the Shot. He and another candidate by the name of Ritha Killik had been selected out of many others for reasons he could never understand, to pilot the two mobile suits, his the Shot and hers the Blaze.

He screeched to a halt in front of the large metal door that slid open and shut, through which lead to the launching area. The moment he walked through a tall man, sort of burley, walked over to him.

"Sky you're late, you've got a lot of explaining to do! But not now, we're momentarily being attacked by the earth forces..."

No later had he said that when suddenly the ship shook tremendously, Sky almost falling over but steadying himself by grabbing onto the rail that was near him.

"What was that!?" he said, a slightly exasperated tone in his voice, still tiered and wishing he was back in bed. Quickly he slapped himself out of that frame of mind and rushed over to the Shot, its sleek midnight blue surface lined with silver armor like parts, white shining around the hands, feet and face. He hoped into the cockpit, the silver hatch closing quickly behind him, sealing him inside.

"Sky where were you!?" he could hear the voice of his angry commander over his radio.

"I..." he let his voice fall.

Great, first day on the job...first day at all on the ship and I screw it up! How could this be happening?

He looked to the com screen and quickly typed in his personal information so that the mobile suit would run for him. As he did so he could feel everything shake once again then the sound of men yelling, though it was very faint and only heard over his radio in the background.

"I need to get out there" he said to himself panic in his voice. He hit a red key and then...

"Done!" he said, quickly starting up the g-weapon. His fingers went freakishly fast over the key board, his coordinator mind showing it's worth and capabilities. With in a few moments the Shot was ready to launch, weapons attached and ready for battle.

"Ready when you are" he heard over the radio. Pulling back on the acceleration leaver with all his might he said, his voice slightly shaky,

"Sky Akerist, launching!" The large lights, once red on the wall to his left flashed white and then with a pounding burst of speed he was sent soaring into the world of space around him. Suddenly the lit up interior of the ship Alias was gone and in its place the eternal darkness of space, small white stars glinting all around him. As he looked around Ritha's voice came on over his radio, the Blaze flying by, hotly pursued by another g-weapon, its name the 'Blast' flashing across his screen.

"Sky, help me!" she screamed, the blaze turning and only just managing to avoid an attack from the Blast.

"Ritha!" he yelled, pulling back on the acceleration. The jets on the back of the shot immediately went into high gear, though with these jets they were always in high gear. The shot was one of the few mobile suites built for agility and accuracy while most others were made for power and large quantities of thrust. But the shot was different from them and it worked to Sky's advantage. As he sped forwards he pulled one of the long laser swords form his back, its blue glow glinting off of the metal.

"Sky, help!" Ritha screamed again, her voice frantic and desperate.

"I'm here Ritha!" he yelled, setting himself up for a powerful blow across the back of the Blast that was momentarily turned and firing at the Blaze. But just as he was about to strike, the swords sharp edge only centimeters away form it's surface...

WHAM!

Another mobile suit, obviously one of earth force's, rammed it self into the Shot, using all of its weight to smash him away from the Blast.

"What the hell!" He shouted angrily, the name the g-weapon flashing across his screen.

"The Akerist!?" he said bewildered, his eyes widening.

"But that's my..." but he didn't have enough time to think, the Akerist smashing into him again. He shook violently, banging his shoulder against the metal that lined the chair and his head falling forcefully backwards. He would've groaned in pain but didn't even have enough time for that, quickly seeing the Akerist pull out a long gun, its tip glowing bright green. Pulling on the acceleration he shot up wards, barely avoiding the blast as it passed beneath him. But just as he finally thought he would be able to get back on the ball...

"SKY!!!!" It was Ritha over the radio again except after having said his name her radio had gone fuzzy.

"Ritha..." he said, glancing over to her. The Blaze was having the stuffing knocked out of it by the Bash, the Bash actually bashing it, living up to it's name. A hard punch to the shoulder sent the Blaze backwards just to be hit harder in the chest by its foot.

"Ritha!" he yelled , yanking back on the acceleration but finding that as he tried to go to her to help her the Akerist stopped him, flying right in front of him, it's long gun drawn.

"Back off, or die" he could hear the pilot of the Akerist telling him, complete confidence and seriousness in his voice.

"Never!" he exclaimed, bolting to the left then making a quick swerve to the right so as to ram himself into the side of the Akerist with his shoulder. But as he smashed into it, banging it to the right, he heard a blood curdling scream.

"RITHA!" he yelled but as he gazed out to wards where she was he found that it was too late, her mobile suit completely destroyed, smoke rising from pieces of burnt and smashed up metal that floated about. His eyes were wide, a cold shock of sudden realization passing through him. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead, tears forming in his eyes.

"Ritha!!!" he yelled, his mobile suit suffering a strong blast form the long gun of the Akerist.

"I told you not to interfere!" he heard the boy say angrily. But what ever anger that boy was feeling was nothing in comparison to what was building up inside of Sky's soul.

She dead...Just like that...

He looked up and saw that his radar showed the Akerist, gun pointed at the head of the Shot.

"No..." he whispered over the radio, his voice shaky. Then something snapped. "You'll pay for that!" he yelled, suddenly ducking beneath the gun with amazing speed that only few could accomplish, even in the shot and other speed made g-weapons. Once beneath the gun he quickly pulled the blue laser sword from his back then, reversing the direction of the jets flew back up, the sword held out in front of him and going right through the center of the Akerist.

"Ah! NO!!!!" He could hear someone scream from inside before the same fuzzy sound came over the radio. Continuing upwards he looked down and saw the Akerist exploding into flames, pieces of it flying here and there.

What...did I just...do...

A shiver passed through him. But within a painful instant that thought was wiped from his mind as the Bash appeared above him, undetected to himself within those few seconds of thought.

"Die!" he heard another boy yell with what sounded like pain in his voice. Sky had just enough time to look up, see the light green laser like bullet hurdling towards him, then move himself just slightly so that it didn't pass directly through his head but instead hit him hard on the chest blowing down wards, towards the surface of earth over which they had battled that entire time. He yelled as the force pushed him backwards, shaking the cockpit furiously and making him bang his head hard and loose consciousness.

"Sky Akerist...Sky Akerist come in" said the voice of his commander over his radio but he never heard it, and would never hear it again. As his mobile suit plummeted towards earth, quickly picking up speed as it entered the atmosphere and gravity took it down, the cockpit quickly heating up.

"Sky Akerist, do you read me!?" yelled the commander, his voice anxious, hoping to hear some sign that Sky was still alive. But alas, it seemed to him as he clicked off the button that connected to his radio.

"We lost both of them...in one battle we lost them both...EARTH FORCES WILL PAY FOR THEIR LIVES!" He yelled angrily, slamming his fist down on the arm of his chair. But little after he'd said this the Bash flew closer and closer to the ship, pulling out a large gun that had poor aim but a fatal blast.

"Take that mobile suit down!" the commander ordered but would all too late find that his commands weren't soon enough for within a split second the Bash had fired and brought the entire Alias down with one shot directly through the center.

"There" whispered the pilot. "It's finished" but he couldn't help but looked down to the atmosphere, his eyes wandering over the figure of the Shot, red from the growing heat as it fell, it's form slowly becoming smaller and smaller.

"So, your names Sky" he mumbled, having heard the girl's last scream of 'sky'. "Sky, I'll kill you if it's the last thing I do..." and with that he turned and headed back to his ship, as it flew not far from the fields of war they'd just battled upon.
