Hi! I am Nagato21 and this is my second fic on , and my first try on Gundam Seed ever.

I would like to remind all of you readers that this is an AU, meaning anything can happen as long at it remains coherent.

I appreciate criticisms but it must be constructive not some fanbashing, I write because I like it and I hope people will enjoy it.

The story will not just be about Kira, the second main character is Hakim Durham who will have a big impact on the story later on.

As for the pairing (I know how crazy people get about it) there won't be yet, but there will be some romance and maybe triangle but for now it's just plain war story.

Here is a list of some of the OCs that will be appearing in the story:

ZAFT

Hakim Durham aka the Knight of Aprilus, Zaft Captain of the Surge team and pilot of the

ZGMF XPU 201 RAVEN

Ian Enzi, former Eurasian citizen, Zaft red elite member of the Surge team and pilot of the

ZGMF XPU 205 Ogre

Helena Drake, Zaft red elite, member of the Surge team and pilot of the

ZGMF XPU 209 Mara

EARTH ALLIANCE

Maria Garcia, Admiral of the 8th Eurasian fleet (12th EA Autonomous Taskforce)

Lyle Aker aka the Thunder devil, Colonel and leader of the Moebius Zero Corp

Note: Keep in mind there are more OCs but I haven't listed them yet because they are just minor roles for now.

I do not own Gundam Seed (I wish I could) nor its characters, except my own characters and their mobile suits.

Chapter 1: Debut

C.E 70, February 7th

Washington D.C Capital of the Atlantic Federation

A massive cheer and clap of hands echoed across the room of the Capitol Hill, a testimony of the event that was taking place.

The President of the Atlantic Federation, the Prime Minister of the Eurasian Federation and the Chairman of the Republic of East Asia signed each the paper that would seal the world fate into a new era.

William Cob the leader of the Atlantic Federation rose up along with his colleagues and shook hands. He then stood at the podium in front of thousands of people from the four corner of the world. He took a moment to find his words, while gazing at the crowd and cameras in front of him, then with a firm voice he addresses to the world.

"There were some who believes that this day would never come, three nations united for a single cause, the betterment of our blue and pure world." Another great cheer erupted causing Cob to pause. Some attentive eyes could've seen that not everyone had joined the cheer and were giving weary glances, especially the Eurasian Federation Prime Minister, Andrei Gursky.

"Today we are one force, united to oppose the tyranny of the Plants and their ambitions to corrupt our planet. Today is the day the Earth Alliance is born."

Everywhere around the world people cheered, driven by the hatred created by their own fear and ignorance, the fear of not accepting the unknown the ignorance of life and the bounties of the future.

……

Kira Yamato a young teenager along with other kids of the same age was watching the declaration of the Earth Alliance. While some would have seen it as an historic moment, for coordinators like Yamato it was the signs of the worst things to come.

"I can't believe this rubbish!" grumbles Ian Enzi, a young Asian with silver hair. "This has Blue Cosmos written all over it."

"Were you that surprised?" replies Helena Drake, a beautiful red hair woman with green eyes. "Rumors has that the Atlantic Industrial Conglomerate is control by Blue Cosmos, it could mean that the Atlantic Federation is just a pawn."

"You can't say the same about the Eurasian Federation and the East Asia Republic." comments Hakim Durham, a tall black skin man with deep yellow eyes and long dark hair. "Those two countries have always hated the Atlantic Federation, the only reason they joined is for the money and technological bounty they can rip from us if they win."

"You are right about that." agrees Helena, "I wouldn't be surprised if they started turning against each others throat in a few months."

"We might not be here in a few months!" Everyone turned to the room entrance to see a man dressed in a white uniform of ZAFT; he had blonde hair and wore a white mask hiding his face.

Automatically the four ZAFT soldiers in red coat uniform saluted the Commander, the infamous Rau Le Creuset.

"At ease gentlemen." he ordered, the group relaxed. "For those who do not know me I am Rau Le Creuset, Commander of the Vesalius attach to the third fleet. As of today the Surge team will be under my command for the upcoming mission."

The four obviously were quite surprised; Surge team was an experimental squad design to test new technologies on Mobile Suits. Hakim Durham was the leader of the team. Aside from Hakim, the group had never been in a real combat situation, their red coat was earned through mock up battle and simulation.

Hakim rose an eyebrow, something didn't seem right, he hadn't been notified of any transfer orders for his team, nor Le Creuset arrival.

Le Creuset was a mystery in ZAFT, an outfit composed entirely of volunteers, and he had blown off through the ranks in the military by sheer cunning and skill, earning the respect and fears of many ZAFT officers. Rumor was that he had the ear of Chairman Patrick Zala.

Kira wondered for a moment if his commander was acquainted with his old friend Athrun Zala. But the military discipline he had been instilled a year ago made him store away those thoughts.

He had left for the PLANTS after his family was attacked in Copernicus on the moon by Blue Cosmos killing squads. His father had died during the attack trying to save his mother and him. To add insult to injury, his mother had gone into a nervous breakdown and blamed him for her husband's death. With nowhere to go, Kira had set sail for the Plant and joined the military. Their talents didn't go unnoticed and they were approach by ZAFT recruiters. For some reason Ian and Kira became rising star in the academy and rapidly blew the top scores of the veterans of the first defensive battle of the Plants a year ago. They were perhaps the youngest elites along with Helena Drake and Hakim Durham.

As he got out of his thoughts Kira couldn't help but notice a malicious glare coming from Rau Le Creuset, the man was downright creepy.

An impression everyone in the room shared.

Hakim broke the tension "Sir you said something about the coming months?" he asks.

"Yes, our intelligence believes that the Earth Alliance will launch an offensive against the Plant in about one week from now on."

The group repressed their surprise; they were expecting war but not this soon.

"That means that the formation of the Earth Alliance began some time ago before being put on paper." comments Helena ever the analytical mind of the group.

"That's a good possibility Miss Drake" says Rau, surprising Helena that the man already knew her name. "Our recon units are observing a lot of movement on the moon especially from Ptolemaios base, most of the fleet assemble is from the Eurasia and Atlantic Federation. Because we cannot sustain such a massive offensive, the Supreme Council has approved that ZAFT shall launch a pre emptive strike. This will serve as warning to the enemy and make them guess about our long range capabilities."

As the four red contemplated the revelation, Le Creuset took off from the exit, as he opened the door he stopped. "We take off in two days!"

…..

PLANTS, Aprilus One, February 8th C.E 70

The garden of Aprilus was a marvelous blend of technology and nature in perfect harmony, at the center of the garden was a lake supply by an artificial river, around the lake was a large garden of flowers, with birds singing, deer's running around and the usual humans wandering around.

Kira stopped running for a moment taking his breath. Although he was a coordinator, he was still human and despite running for two hours non stop he had to take a break. Before joining ZAFT, Kira had never been a physical kind of guy, being a coordinator meant he was always in perfect health. But he soon saw the benefits of his training. It helped him clear his mind when he was stressed, when he wanted to forget about some bad memories he would come here in the garden.

However the beauty of the garden was not enough for him to forget about his worries, he saw a comfortable green patch and sat while gulping down a good amount of vitamin juice.

Laying down he fixed the artificial sun of Aprilus about to go down, it was nothing like the real sundown on Earth, but Kira could appreciate the beauty of such artificial phenomenon. It made him respect the hard work of those who had put their love and care in building a home where they would not have to fear of who they were. The Earth Alliance however could not appreciate it; they only saw it as a threat to their own ambitions. Why? The PLANTS had no reason to be hostile; all they asked was for autonomy and equality for coordinators like him.

Something hard landed on his face taking him out of his thoughts

"HARO?"

The voice came out of a red ball with pink eyes and two flaps on each side

"Haro…Haro!"

Although it was his first time seeing it, Kira could not help but wonder why it was so familiar. Then he heard another synthesize voice "Tori". A small mechanical bird landed on Kira's shoulder. Tori had become his companion since his days in Copernicus with Athrun Zala. The boy had left Copernicus early because his father feared for his life. As a memento Athrun had built Tori for Kira. A few weeks after he left, Kira and his family had been attacked.

"Athrun..." Kira wondered. It had been a year since he came to the PLANT and he had yet to see his best friend. Part of him wondered why, was it because he was afraid relieving those painful memories? No it wasn't it. Kira hated to admit it but he was not the same boy he was a year ago anymore. He was afraid Athrun might see the change and he was afraid even more of how he would react.

"Kira… Kira Yamato is that you?" said a voice

Kira's heart almost missed a heart bit when look in the direction were the voice was coming from. In front of him stood a young couple, a beautiful woman with pink hair was holding Haro; next to him was a young man of Kira's age, with green blue eyes, dark hair.

Stunned, Kira slowly rose up, his mind trying to fathom the situation. He calmed down, taking a deep breath; he then gave a shy smile.

"It has been a while, Athrun Zala!"

Note: Here is the end of the first chapter, no action, instead just some character development, I hope you guys enjoyed. The reason It is so short was because this chapter was originally a one shot to be, but I modified it and left it like that because it kind of conveys a good atmosphere (in my opinion)

I also apologize for any grammatical or spelling error
