Prologue

C.E 78 June Captain's quarters Eternal

"Come in." ordered Lacus as she put down another report on The PLANTs demise.

As the young ensign entered she asked "What is the current status of the home fleet?"

"Out of the entire fleet left to defend The PLANTs there are less than 20 mobile suits still operational and including the Kusanagi the fleet has 5 ships that are seaworthy, but all have sustained damage. The Kusanagi has sustained damage to its engines and has requested permission to return to earth to retrieve a new engine block, after which it will rejoin the fight with the lunar fleet. The rest of the fleet will rendezvous with us in 26 hours."

"Very well, have archangel escort her in and send commander Kira and admiral Athrun to the archangel as well."

"But sir, shouldn't we keep them with the 2nd fleet for the upcoming battle?"

"The reason I am sending them to earth is because with the destruction of the PLANTs and the rest of the colonies there is little left to defend in space other than the moon. However down on earth there are still a large number of people whom we must protect."

"Understood sir, I will relay these orders at once." The ensign said as he stood to attention.

"Good, dismissed,"

After he left the room Lacus walked over to the window. Looking out, she whispered "Kira please be safe against the moon butterfly,"

Phase-1 the awakening

About 2345 years later

Port side corridor of an unknown craft

Loran was lost; Kihel had run off as soon as she had seen the ship's name on the hatch. What was so special about archangel anyway? The only archangel he knew was in a very old book that he had read after his arrival on earth, but in that an archangel was a class of angel not a ship. Unfortunately the name of the massive vessel didn't help the fact that he had no idea where he was, and more importantly, where Kihel had ran off to. Loran doubted that she would come to any harm, the ship was remarkably intact. The thing that worried him was the crew; they were still here or at least there were black objects that were human-shaped. Loran was not normally a superstitious person, but with so many corpses around it was hard not to be.

Following the trail of open blast-proof doors and disturbed patches of black material that covered every surface he reached an open elevator with the lights on. Stepping inside, he noticed that the button panel had been cleaned and appeared to be working; the problem was all the buttons had been cleaned, so there was no clue to where the last user had gone. Thinking for a moment, he decided that the place that any logical person would go on a ship like this was the bridge. He pressed a button marked bridge making the lift ascend.

When the door opened to the bridge Loran screamed. In front of him was one of the black husks with a look of sheer terror, on what had to have been a face at one point. Cautiously moving passed him, he found that he was now standing on the ship's bridge. The bridge was made up of three levels; the top had the entrance and two stations, one vacant with the operator inches from the door. The middle level had what looked like the captain's chair, complete with captain, and several stations at the front which were obviously helm controls. The bottom level had 4 stations in it with a chair in the middle; Loran had no idea what it was for. The bridge had 12 other people on it, none of them her. Sighing he sat down on the stairs next to where the captain still sat, "Kihel where did you go?" He wondered aloud.

Looking at the captain he asked "I don't suppose you have seen a girl with pink hair in her early 20's?"

There was no response from the person sitting next to him, just her panicked expression with her eyes closed and her hand up in a meagre defence, frozen in time.

Kira was suffering the biggest hangover he had ever had and Lacus was not helping. She kept screaming his name over and over. Slowly Kira opened his eyes which were covered in something that flaked off. When he did get them open, all he could see was black. Moving he realised that he was wearing his normal suit. That must have been a good night out he thought as he removed the helmet which was also covered in the same strange material that was on his face. Looking around he realised that he was in freedom's cockpit, and from what he could see from the dim light everything was covered in a black material, Correction; that must have been one hell of a good night out. That's when he noticed the lock of pink hair peeking over the edge of the hatch. Wiping the rest of the black material off his face, he climbed up to see what his fiancée wanted. She was crying, Lacus never cried in front of people. She was the one who normally held him when the past got too much for him. He must have done something really bad last night to get her like this.

"I am sorry Lacus" Kira said as he put his arms round her.

Lacus stiffened and slowly looked up, when her eyes met his they were full of tears but that was not what had Kira's breath caught in his throat. Her eyes were haunted, confused and full of fear and pain but when she met his gaze her whole face turned completely white. Something was definitely very wrong, in the years he had known her she had never been like this.

"K-K-Kira?" she stammered with wide Cerulean eyes staring at him as if she was having trouble believing what she was seeing.

"Yes; are you alright?" he said as he tried to remember the night before… no we were not out drinking last night we were in battle stations but against what… The Blue Cosmos, They had attacked various points across the earth and the colonies trying to wipe out all Coordinators and destroy all technologies that had created them. A mad plan carried out by mad people. There were a lot of terrorist attacks throughout the world, major cities and mass drivers as well as attacks on major ZAFT installations around the globe. In space things were worse. The 1st 2nd and 3rd OMNI Enforcer's space fleets went berserk and started attacking colonies at random. This was bad enough but then when we thought it couldn't get any worse the Turn A and X appeared as well as the discovery that the fleets had nukes. The Turn A was not particularly dangerous as far as mobile suits go, but the wings of light which acted as its thrusters were redesigned to spread nano machines and destroy anything they touched. Given a big enough power source they could spread throughout the world and kill everything. Turn X was much the same except that it was modular like Impulse. The only way to stop it was to hit the pilot, the one thing Kira never wanted to do again, but in this case there was no choice.

With the 3rd fleet and Turn X attacking and destroying The PLANTs archangel was sent down to earth to stop Turn A from wiping it out. Just as we were about to launch we got hit by a swarm of nano machines. Then it clicked the black stuff that was all over him and the ship was the nano machines. No wonder Lacus was looking at him like that, as if he should be dead… DEAD! "Athrun!" He was in justice on the port catapult and Cagalli was right behind him in the hangar. Grabbing Lacus by the arm he started firing off questions in quick succession "what happened to earth? The lunar colony, the fleet, Orb, is Athrun ok? What about Cagalli?"

"Kira it really is you" Lacus said, tears of joy streaming down her face.

"Yes it's me. What's happened?"

"We lost," that's all she got out before diving in to Kira's shoulder.

"We lost!" Kira was stunned by this for a minute but if so then … It didn't bear thinking about how many would have died.

Archangel hanger deck

Cagalli awoke to much of the same thoughts as Kira, going as far as to say "I am never going drinking with the two of you again," but Athrun realised what had happened instantly. He attempted to blow the catapult's doors off and launch to attack the Turn A on the presumption that it was still where they had picked it up on radar.

Athrun had been abnormally irritable since the loss of the PLANT's even Kira could not help snap him out of it.

"So what the hell happened?" asked Athrun. He instantly regretted it as he saw Lacus put on that mask, the mask she used to hide her feelings which meant one thing Athrun was not going to like what she was going to say. Athrun had served under a madman that had used a real mask to hide his insanity, and hated seeing any form of mask because it hid the feelings of the person under it, making their intentions unknown to him. Many people had noticed that Athrun was a terrible poker player because of this.

"We regrouped the surviving ships at the moon and were successful in defeating The Blue Cosmos," said Lacus in her official tone.

"And earth?" asked Cagalli hesitantly.

"We lost contact about 2 hours after your last report," replied Lacus, again in her official tone as if she were addressing the council.

"Ho-how many did we lose?" stammered Cagalli, not able to hide her emotions as well as Lacus.

"We don't know, possibly about 99% of the Earth's population. We sent a team to the surface to look for survivors less than a week after the attack, but they never returned." Her official tone wavered as she replied.

"WHAT A WEEK! How long have we been out?" asked Athrun. Again he regretted opening his mouth as Lacus's mask fell, along with the tears that she had been holding back.

Kira instantly went to comfort her.

Archangel's bridge

Murrue Ramius woke with a splitting headache. It was dark; she didn't need to open her eyes to see that. Knowing Mu, it was a matter of time before he opened the blinds and she would be forced to wake up properly.

Thump!

That was him getting out of bed and by the sounds of it he had done it as gracefully as her. Knowing she only had seconds more of blissful sleep she curled up and try to find the covers.

Ten seconds past; there wasn't light shining in her face and Mu was not teasing her for being such a sleepy head or for even falling out of bed. He had waited long enough for her to start thinking of her own remarks, and that was a mistake. She had played this game with Mu for years, and they both knew that the only way for Mu to win was to strike fast before her mind woke up enough by 'natural means' to counter him.

A light came on but it was not Mu's voice she heard and WHAT THE HELL WAS ATHRUN DOING IN HER ROOM! This had her awake faster than Mu's teasing would ever manage, but this was not her room. Instead she was on Archangel's poorly lit bridge, and the only two other people visible were Athrun and some white haired kid sitting in a growing pool of something she would rather not know about. That's when it clicked.

Rubbing her head, she got off of the ground with some help from Athrun "What happened? What's the status of the ship?" she asked as her senses returned.

"We are down and out Captain; the ship got hit pretty hard by the nano machines and we are buried under half a mountain. The crew is in suspended animation but I don't know how many we lost."

"Suspended animation? How long were we out?"

Athrun's face dropped "2000 years."

"WHAT!" she exclaimed as her knees gave out, luckily for her Athrun was able to stop her from hitting the deck hard. If anyone else had told this to her she would have thought it was a prank or some sort of sick joke by HQ but Athrun never got involved in that. She didn't know how long she had been sitting there. Time just seemed to stop. When she did come back to her senses Athrun was shaking her and the white haired boy was gone.

"Come on Captain, we need to get off the ship," Athrun said dragging her up and around Kuzzey's frozen form towards the elevator.

"What about the others?" she said as Athrun and she got into the lift.

"We will come back for them; right now we need to get set up outside before we suffocate in here," This got a questioning glance from Murrue.

Without looking at her he said "A lot of the critical systems are down, including life support, the oxygen probably wouldn't last long with everyone breathing."

They travelled in silence down the elevator to the living quarter deck lit only by emergency glow sticks, then headed aft along with the rest of the surviving crew, several of them working to get tents and other supplies out of the ship. The medical teams were getting those who were stationed at this part of the ship on their feet. After a short walk they found a ladder that went into the depths of the engine room, Murrue realised where they were headed now. There was a hatch at ground level in the engine room used by maintenance personnel to access the lower portions of the engines. It was a maze down there. Most of the engine room crew couldn't find it half the time. That kid on the bridge must have been wandering around down there for hours before finding her.

Thinking about that kid, she didn't even see him leave the bridge. Was he even there in the first place? The nano machines could be screwing with her head; it still ached a bit. Hell, this whole thing was just too fantastic to be true, that had to be it. This was all just a dream made by the nano machines as they tore her brain apart molecule by molecule. Either that or some one spiked her coffee.

She was snapped out of her thoughts by Athrun talking, "Sorry I missed that."

"Lacus is the one who found me, Kira and Cagalli, but she is under cover trying to get a better feel for the political situation or something equally silly. All the people with her know her as Kihel, a local girl from a rich family in the area. Apparently she is her complete look alike. Also, that kid on the bridge found that fucking suit and has been playing around with it for a couple of months. It's only a matter of time before he hits the big red button and ends the world again." Repeated Athrun the last sentence laced with venom.

"Where is he now?" asked Murrue ducking through a blast door.

"I sent him and his suit out to find water and bring it back, doc said that dehydration is going to be a big issue with the symptoms he is seeing." Athrun said as he started to descend the last ladder down to the maintenance hatch.

River bed outside archangel

Lacus's hart skipped a beat when she saw Murrue emerge from the cave, her friends were alive they were all alive, for the first time since she arrived on earth she felt like everything was ok once again. Back to the times were Athrun, Cagalli and Kira would play football with the kids on the beach at the orphanage after dinner whilst her, Kira's parents and Reverend Malchio watched from the porch. That thought ended her good mood; those were three people that would not be found alive and well. Malchio had been on one of the colonies that had gone down during the fleet's attacks; his body was later recovered from a lifeboat and given a space burial. Kira's parents had been in Orb running the orphanage, she doubted very much that they or the kids had survived the initial nano machine attack and after 2000 years they were definitely not still alive. The last thought almost had tears back in her eyes. for a time those kids had been her life, she had got up before don every day to make breakfast then at night she had tucked them in , if one had a nightmare or could not sleep she would let them sleep in her bed as if they were her own child. She had to stop herself from crying and put on a smile knowing that Kira would ask what was wrong, and then she would have to tell him. At the moment Lacus doubted that Kira had thought about them yet but when he did she knew she needed to be there, it would be Flay all over again.

A shout from Cagalli forced her to return to reality.

"SIR! SIR!" yelled Cagalli "DO I LOOK LIKE A FUCKING GUY TO YOU?"

Lacus could not help but giggle at Will's mistake, far to many people have made the same mistake over the years including Cagalli's own "little brother."

"Lacus?" asked said brother.

"Yes Kira," she replied her smile coming easier than it had a moment earlier.

"Are those the two people that were digging here and found us?" Kira pointed at Will and Teteth.

"yes the women's name is Teteth and the man's is Will," she replied watching them as they continued to be shouted at by Cagalli about Will's little mistake before Murrue came over and convinced Cagalli to drop it. Defeated, she came over to help Kira and her put up some tents.

"Who's that?" Kira asked pointing over to Sid who had just arrived.

"his name is Sid, he's an archaeologist that's been uncovering artefacts from what they call 'the black history' like Koopans for the militia and other military hardware," she said trying to get a poll to go through a stupid hole in the tent.

"Koopan?" asked Kira and Cagalli completely lost as to what she meant.

"Sorry I meant Capules," Lacus had to reframe from kicking her self the militia had no knowledge of what they were uncovering and so had re-named there mobile suits.

"Anything that's really big and scary that we should know about," Cagalli mocked as she helped her get the poll in with a grin on her face.

The Capules had been a ZAFT Design put into mass production before proper testing was done like many of its predecessors. It was hoped that it would replenish the ZAFT suits lost during the second war at a fraction of the cost, however during deployment they were found to have a tendency to roll over.

Cagalli had ones said during a red flag exercise that involved a squadron of Capules taking a hill that it looked like a game of tenpin bowling when the lead suit had been hit by a paint ball shell from an Astray. After this they were withdrawn from service and sold off to various nations. Cagalli had never let her live it down.

"No, luckily he has not found some of the EA horrors that were lost yet," she shuddered at the thought of what was possibly still down there. Although all countries had signed a treaty to stop the production of phase shift armour equipped mobile suits and nuclear weapons the Atlantic federation had retained some of its destroyer class 'Gundams', and judging by the way the rogue fleets had been throwing nukes around there was possibly more stored on earth.

"What about that suit?" asked Cagalli.

"The locals were using it as part of a coming of age ceremony, Loran found it after we started dropping in."

"What's the kid like?" asked Kira.

"He is kind and is always looking out for me and Kihel sister Sochie. He reminds me a lot of you Kira when you were younger."

"So what is he doing piloting that suit?" asked Cagalli.

"He fell into it during ZAFTs attack."

"Sounds familiar," Kira replied shooting Murrue and Athrun both dirty looks.

This got a giggled from Lacus and Cagalli "kind of." Lacus said before returning to feeding the tent poll throw the canvas. "But seriously he was one of the moons advanced Scouts so it's not like he didn't know we were coming or what might happen if things went bad."

"Did you meet him before you left?"

"Yes I had to send off all the advanced scouts but I didn't really know him until I arrived." Lacus giggled and blushed at the memory of meeting him on earth "you should have seen it the militia wanted us to think that he was a girl for some reason but I knew that he was a boy instantly but I had to go the hole party I was at without saying a word about it, he even asked my bodyguard to dance with him." She said before a frown appeared on her face and she turned back to working on the tent.

If she had eyes on the back of her head she would have seen Kira and Cagalli exchange worried looks "eh Lacus did something happen that night?" asked Kira

"Yes."

The twins exchanged more worried looks.

"What happ-," Cagalli tried to ask but she was cut off by Lacus.

"They tried to kill me."

"Who?" Kira said with barely contend anger welling beneath the surface.

"Coordinators I don't know who they were working for, they dropped some medicine that is used to treat infertility in 3rd gen in their escape," She said.

"But to have Coordinators you need specialist laboratories and the earth is in the middle of the industrial revolution so how could it have been… Coordinators," Cagalli said with comprehension slowly dawning on her face "ZAFT?"

Lacus could not answer through the tears she was now shedding. She felt Kiras' arms rap around her and she nuzzled into the embrace she had been denied for thousands of years.

"It's ok Lacus we can fix this, ZAFT has targeted you in the past but we were always able to protect you and war is nothing new to us. We can do this," Said Kira trying to comfort her.

"How" Lacus asked not able to meet his eyes "all ZAFT and the militia can see is hate which is breeding hate and no one can see past it."

"Sounds like the first war" said Cagalli from behind her "but we fixed that didn't we and we can do it again."

"Fixed?" Athrun scoffed as he seemed to appear out of nowhere "I don't call this fixed do you?" he snapped before stomping off back towards the ship.

Cagalli looked at the ground "Its PLANTS isn't it?" She asked when he was out of ear shot.

"Yeah he took it badly," Replied Kira.

"I should have done more."

"There was nothing more you could have done."

'He hadn't told them had he?' thought Lacus as she buried her self further in to Kira, the truth was he hadn't told her either but she knew what it was. Meyrin had been forced to tell her because of her position on the eternal. Most people would assume that he was feeling powerless about the loss of PLANTs but for his sake she wished that it was just that. This was not good, Athrun didn't cope well when he felt powerless or betrayed by those he considered to be his friends. During the first war he was shooting to kill Kira because of his allegiance and when she had been called a traitor he had pulled a gun on her. In the second war he yelled at Cagalli and said a lot of things that later ended his relationship with her, now it was a matter of time before he took out his frustrations on them. Cagalli may have been there but it was not her fault, she had not acted rashly on sketchy intelligence and sent most of the ZAFT fleet out to search and destroy an unknown number of enemies. She needed to have a talk to him about this, but not now later when she got used to seeing them all alive and things had calmed down.

She was so involved with her thoughts that she never heard the sounds of battle in the distance but she noticed the way Kira stiffened.

One of the meny caves near the river bed about 5 kilometers from the Archangel

Why did this always happen? All Loran was doing was trying to find those people on the ship some water. He was not trying to fight a war but the ZAFT soldiers had not given him a chance to explained this when he had run into them above the dried up riverbed. Instead of being reasonable the WaDom had fired missiles at him destroying the ground under his feet.

This particular cavern he had fallen into was made up of a large number of tunnels with several naturally forming pillars holding up the roof. These tunnels could fit his white doll with ease however the larger WaDom could not fit, so it had sent down its escorting WaDs to attack him and possibly drive him to the surface.

Loran drew one of his beam sabres and cut away a piece of the cave ceiling to cause a cave-in and hopefully buy him some time to escape. Moments later he realised his mistake.

The ceiling was not as sturdy as it had looked causing it to disintegrate and collapse on top of both him and his pursuers, very much not what he had planned.

Loran was tossed around in his cockpit as the white doll received rock strikes, the WaDs were not as forchant, with there relatively light armour they were quickly taken down by the rocks. However his major problem was not being knocked about as the hole he had made in the surface had of course alerted the WaDom to his current location and the thudding over head confirmed that problem.

A WaDom was twice the size of his machine doll but that was not his main concern. However the large beam cannon mounted in its head was, and since his successes with the white doll, ZAFT had started equipping them with an extra generator to increase the power and rate of fire of the weapon.

One of the pillars collapsed as the WaDom above ground moved towards him. An idea hit Loran as if something had exploded in the back of his mind. Drawing his second beam sabre he cut down several of the columns. It was amazing, now he was able to see every rock falling and the movement of the WaDom more clearly than if it was in broad daylight.

With the weakened structure of the cave it was only a matter of time before the WaDom with its massive bulk fell through the roof. When it did, it found the cave was too small as with its head unit remaining above ground. This was as Loran had planned; he had escaped the labyrinth thought one of many small exits that were doted around and was now top-side running full pace closing the distance between him and the ZAFT suit.

He was about 10 metres away from the WaDom before it noticed him and with a battle cry from its pilot the main cannon hatch opened up in preparation for firing. This was futile as Lorain was now too close for the heavy calibre weapon to be much use being most of it was buried. Jumping up Lorain landed on top of its head before plunging the two beam sabres the White Doll had in its hands into the head unit. A series of small explosions rocked the head piece, followed shortly by a massive eruption as the main cannon that was still charged by the secondary generator cooked off sending Loran and the White Doll tumbling through the air.

It took several minutes for him to regain his senses but once Loran did he cautiously re-entered the cave to confirm that he had got the last of the ZAFT mobile suits. Much to his relief there was a WaDom (minus head piece) shaped hole in the side of the cave and the silhouette of the ZAFT suits running or being carried in the opposite direction of Kihel and that big ship.

Seeing ZAFT retreating Loran slumped against the harnesses. He had never wanted this. Why did he have to hurt people? This was not right. He was just trying to help people.

Turn-A mobile suits mentioned

Turn-A Gundam/the White Doll - a Gundam class suit that is designed to use nano machines to attack with cataclysmic consequences. (Turn-A).

WaDom- a 40 metre tall mobile suit that is armed with 1 heavy beam cannon, 6 missile launchers and anti air machine guns this suit is very heavily armoured and able to withstand all conventional weapons used by the militia. This mobile suit is an anti fortress suit capable of destroying a moon race ship in a single shot and is complete over kill for any opponent that is not piloting a mobile suit of their own. Even in mobile suit combat its size makes it a dangerous opponent although not armed with a beam sabre or any other close combat weapons it can kick and punch its way out of most fights. A WaDom piloted by Poe Aijee was responsible for a large amount of civilian casualties during the beginning of ZAFTS return to earth (Turn-A).

WaD- a small mobile suit that is only 7 metres tall, it is able to carry a variety of infantry support and anti suit weapons. This suit is an idle anti infantry weapon because of its small size and a back bone which separates the main body and legs giving it the ability to peer over cliffs or around corners without exposing the legs to unnecessary danger, however it can also take on normal sized suits such as the suit designated the Borjarnon by the militia (ZAFT ZAKU). (Turn-A).

Koopan/ Capule an amphibious mobile suit seen in Gundam ZZ and used by Neo Zeon, in Turn-A it is the first mobile suit used by the militia and is comparable to the WaD (ZZ, Turn-A).

A/N

Finally I got this done, thanks a lot to my mum, dad and family friends who helped me get all the spelling bugs out of my work even though none of them know what a Gundam is. Please read and review I need feed back.

Edit the rework done in this chapter was due to me forgetting some facts as when I was writing this I had not finished the DVD of seed and Turn-A, instead I was using my memory of when seed first aired in Japan and a old copy of Turn-A. However I have watched both recently so hopefully I won't make such an ass of their characterisation again. I also had a wall banger when it came to Athrun name as there were two spellings I used throughout this chapter in the original.

The reason this has taken so long to do is because of university and there dam plots to make me work.

Chapter 2 will be up as soon as I get it spell checked and I get my head around the bad English on this sub title version from china of Turn-A, Example-A "war time out" (real meaning "ceasefire" I think).
