Keito was on his way from his home in the Kingdom of Scandinavia to his new home on board the ZAFT battleship Minerva. In his entire life he had never left from the Orphanage that he was placed in shortly after birth, so naturally he was slightly nervous. Also partly because he was afraid that the Coordinators would see him as being inferior or a natural.

"I really hate flying" said Keito to no one in particular. He had been traveling and frantically getting ready to depart also combined with the fact that he was nervous the entire night thus getting little sleep.

Man I should really get some sleep, don't wana be falling asleep on my first day now do I.thus he shut his eyes and was quickly asleep

10 Years earlier in an unknown orphanage in the Kingdom of Scandinavia

Keito was sitting in his room after he had just been beaten up by some of the other children for being a coordinator.

God for being a coordinator I am really weak. I can't even protect myself from a few other kids.He thought before not being able to think straight because of the cuts and bruises he felt now that the adrenalin from getting kicked around started to subside. He was so engrossed with his own thoughts that he didn't realize a young girl about his own age coming into the room.

The biggest distinguishing factor from any other girl is her magenta hair.

Huh I wonder what hes crying about I could hear it all the way down stairs. The young girl thought to herself.

The girl decided to go over to the boy and see what was bothering him.

" Hey what are you so upset about " the young girl asked. They boy instantly stiffened instantly hearing the voice of someone behind him." u..um h….h…h…. hello" the boy was able to mutter out all the time backing away from the girl slowly.

" Why are you crying you seem really upset" the girl said. The boy looked at like her like she had grown another head.

" Some of the other kids were beating me up because they said I'm a coordinator" said the boy still slightly afraid of the girl. " why would they do that, that's stupid for them to do that just because of something that you had no control over" the girl was really irritated over the way he was being persecuted.

" so why are you here, your not a new orphan are you"

" oh no im not, my parents came out here to adopt a new kid and they wanted me to come and help too" the girl said getting more excited with every word. " oh I see, well I hope you find someone who you like then" the boy said now depressed.

" hey wait right here" the girl said running towards the door and after a moment Keito heard the girl stomping down the stairs quickly. Then after a few more moments he heard more stomping up the stairs but this time he could hear more than one pair of feet". Then a moment later he saw the girl come in tugging on two people Keito assumed were her parents.

The man looked like a slightly cold person who was very no nonsense person. And next him was a woman who looked considerably younger than the man. Compared to the man she had a very warm smile on her face, she basically looked like a polar opposite to the man.

Then Keito was broken from his observations when he heard the girl speak up " Mom, Dad this is the boy I was telling you about. Can he be my new brother, I mean you guys want another kid and he seems really nice and could use a good home" but then she was broken off by her father.

"Lunamaria this… this…. Thing will not be a member of our family! The father emphasized the word Thing. "but" the girl who he found out was named Lunamaria was interrupted by her father again. " Lunamaria don't talk back to me I said no, and that's that".

Keito was starting to feel like everyone's eyes were on him. Then he saw the father pulling Lunamaria out of the door and she was struggling the best she could but her father was much stronger than her. Before she was completely out of sight she was able to ask " what's your name" and Keito was able to yell out his name before she was out of sight.

End Flash Back

Keito was woken up from his dream by one of the attendants gently prodding his shoulder. " excuse me sir but the plane has touched down and all of the other passengers have already gotten off of the plane".

Keito thanked the attendant before he got his bag, and made his way off the plane to the sight of the Armory 1 base.
