Regaining control
Disclaimer: I don't own gundam seed, the characters' names, and the mecha but I own some of the charas included in this fanfic.
harada ayumi click to mail me!
Anna: Before anything else, I'm gonna introduce myself. I'm Anna Lim, author of this fanfic, Sorry if I spell stuff wrong…nah, just bear with me.
Ayumi: Hey! You forgot to introduce me!
Anna: -.-;; Yeah, this is my guardian ghost….actually, she's just a voice in my head…She's kinda annoying…
Ayumi: I heard that!
Anna: Rather than arguing, we'll just have to let them read on, or they'll get annoyed.
Ayumi: Okay! Read on!
I found this fanfic while browsing some files, and I remembered that I made a fic before making Between Brothers, so this would actually be my first fic and not BB. Actually, the chapters here are better than my SK fics since I've been reading a lot when I made this fic.
So…chapters are a bit short, since I think I made this last year, somewhere between September and November…I don't really remember. :
So…enjoy?
(This is the only fic I've made with a load of italics and bold….I'll try incorporating it in my other SK fics)
Anna: okay, the first chapter is set when Athrun and Kira were kids, 10 year olds in heliopolis…well, part of it is, and the rest is set in earth.
Ayumi: Yay for cheese!
Anna: -.-;;
Chapter 1: Reminiscence
"aah!" a brown-haired boy screamed, running. Chaos and havoc were all around, and there was nowhere to go…
"Kira!"
another boy called. The brown-haired boy ran towards the boy calling him.
"Athrun!"
"Kira!"
the brown-haired boy sat down the ground, sobbing.
"what"s wrong, Kira?" Athrun asked, giving him a handkerchief.
Kira wiped his face and stood up.
"A--Athrun…I"m scared…of the war…I…I.."
"I know. I want this to end too, Kira, now, let's go somewhere safe…"
"like where, Athrun?"
"a…a shelter! That's it! I saw it on tv, and they said it's headed for a planet called earth!"
"but it's too far…and my legs hurt."
"I know, I'll carry you…the nearest one's about a mile from here. We can still make it"
Athrun gave Kira a piggyback ride and made his way to the shelter.
"Ah, we made it…" Athrun put Kira down. A soldier spotted them amidst the crowd.
"Kids!" a soldier carried them off to separate shelters heading towards earth.
"Kira!"
"Athrun!"
They cried each other"s name, outstretching their hands, but got carried in the crowd.
"Athrun!"
The image suddenly blurred, and…
Kira woke up.
"the war…" he said groggily. He looked around. His clock read: 9 am
He then rubbed his head and took his car keys, driving to a grocery shop a few miles from his apartment.
Kira made a few purchases and walked out two hours later, carrying a large brown paper bag, when……
"HARO!"
CRASH! CLUNK! A pink-haired girl bumped into Kira, causing him to fall. Cans fell into the pavement, and vegetables flew into the air. It caused a loud noise and everyone stopped by and stared at them.
"O—Ouch…" Kira rubbed his head and picked up the cans and the other items that fell. He then noticed the girl lying face down on the sidewalk.
"Are…are you alright, miss?"
Kira helped her get up. Her long pink hair was messed up and covered half her face.
"I"m so sorry; did I just cause these items to fall?"
The girl shoved some of the hair on her face and tucked them behind her ear. It was then that Kira noticed something about the girl. Something familiar. And then it hit him.
"but…father, these g-weapons…they shouldn"t be…I mean, orb has submitted itself as a neutral nation, we are siding with neither the Atlantic federation nor the ZAFT...so why the sudden surge of…military technology? I mean, if we support then release these weapons, we"ll just make Orb a target…"
"Cagalli, this is a military advantage that we can use to defend ourselves"
"From what? Those coordinators? Father, what you're doing is betraying the peace treaty between the PLANTs, Atlantic Federation, and us, Orb. There is no reason for them to attack us unless you betray the treaty. And it's exactly what you're doing"
Cagalli bit her lip. Surely, there must be something she could do to make her father realize what he was doing.
Uzumi looked at Cagalli. "Cagalli, this is essential for the defense of this kingdom. I know we"ve… betrayed the ZAFT, but still…"
Cagalli's expression turned into anger.
"Father, as much as I respect you, I am concerned about earth. If the ZAFT realizes what we"ve done, they'll surely attack us then steal our g-weapons for sure….would you…would you want something like that to happen to earth? Millions of deaths…losses will surely be present…"
uzumi looked away. "You're much too young to understand, Cagalli, now, I ask of you to leave me be."
At this point, Cagalli burst into tears brought by anger.
"what you're doing is simply ignoring the facts and the consequences, father. If you truly care, then you might want to think about supporting the project in Heliopolis…" she left the room, anger filling her face.
"Cagalli…you will never….understand" Uzumi sighed, leaving the room.
Cagalli went straight to her room and packed up her things. The clouds were dark and heavy, and the cold air blew against her window. She looked up.
Anna: Okay, end of first chapter! Not bad for a first-time fanfic writer.
Ayumi: It was bad.
Anna: Just shut up. ahem Okay, start of chapter two is a continuation of chapter one... and I"ve decided to introduce the other charas…
Ayumi: Of course it's the continuation of the first chapter! Geez, you're stupid, Ayumi-chan.
Anna: tapes Ayumi"s mouth shut About Lacus losing her balance and tripping: I know that coordinators do have better reflexes, but I had to make do it or else she wouldn"t have met Kira. XD
