Yay! At last I wrote something that would actually be continued! Yay for me! And it's almost my birthday! Anyway, this is Cagalli's point of view in what she thinks about the war.

From Cagalli's point of view…

"Where am I…" I said, looking at everything around me. Fire. There was fire everywhere. I tried to move, but my foot was stuck in some sort of… metal. I lifted the heavy metal and looked at my foot for a while. It was a big wound. "Where… where am I…" I spoke as I desperately looked around for a sign of life. "Anybody there?" I yelled, hoping for an answer.

I started walking to search the area. Everywhere you'd look, you would see buildings… well… at least they used to be. Now they are just some pile of wasted cement in an abandoned place. "Anyone there?" I yelled again.

"Kira? Where are you guys? Miri?" I yelled, suddenly remembering the horrible fight that just happened. "C-cagalli? Is that you?" "KIRA!" I yelled, limping towards my brother. "Are you okay?" he asked. "I think…" I replied.

"Look at the mess you've made…" I told him as I pointed everything around him. "At least we are a few more steps near victory…" Kira replied. "A few more steps? You made it worse!" I scolded.

"Come on, don't be too negative, Cagalli. You know we're close to winning…" Kira said, trying to cheer me up. But for me, this war is just too… well… idiotic. I mean, what are we fighting for?

The history has changed. Everybody forgot what we were fighting for. The war… it causes bloodshed, buildings collapsing and suffering lives. "Yeah, whatever…" I said hopelessly. "Come on, I just tried to end it…" he said.

Then I remembered. "Tried to end it? You were trying to kill your best friend because of a stupid war! Do you even know what its origin is? And WHAT exactly are we fighting for?" Tears started falling from my hopeless eyes.

"But… I didn't know…" "Didn't know what? That you are fighting each other with this… this junk?" I argued. I couldn't take anything anymore. My emotions are growing stronger. I can't stop myself from falling in love with a ZAFT pilot. But I can't do anything about it. We have nothing to do to end this war.

Lots of people have sacrificed their lives to end this warfare but they just wasted their lives. "This war would never end, would it?" I said softly as the cold wind blew. Well that was strange… the wind is cold, but there is fire everywhere… "I don't know…" Kira replied before I went deep into thought.

"I'll look for the others…" I said. He ignored me and he just sat there, looking more injured than I. I stood up, still limping, and I tried to walk to who knows where. The blazing inferno around us looks all the same wherever you'd go in this wasteland anyway.

A few minutes later…

A few minutes later, I was completely lost. And now my situation was getting even worse… I was surrounded by a ring of fire. I tried to scream for help, but I couldn't because my throat was throbbing from all the words I've said to Kira.

I tried anyway, this might be the last time I'd scream. "HELP! SOMEBODY!" The pitch of my voice was too high, like I really needed to drink water. But the fire couldn't stop. It had a mind of its own.

"HELP! PLEASE!" I yelled again, pushing myself away from the four corners of fire around me.

But then, Athrun Zala, the ZAFT coordinator went flying out of nowhere and he immediately took of his jacket and stomped it onto the fire. The flames finally burst into ashes after a few minutes.

"Athrun? Wh-what are you doing here?" I asked with annoyance yet with joy. "What else do you think? I just saved you from the flames!" he replied with a smirk.

I looked at him, annoyed with that happy yet deceiving smirk on his lips. "Get away from me! I could have killed the fire myself!" I said, getting my gun from my left pocket.

I pointed it at him, suddenly having the urge to pull the trigger. "What are you doing Cagalli? I just saved you from the flames and now I get pointed with a gun!" he exclaimed.

"YOU ARE OUR ENEMY! And besides… I wanted to die…" I spoke without thinking any bit of it. But everything I said was true. I wanted to be in paradise now.

Rumor has it that it was a very peaceful place. No war, no more fire… no more pain… no more suffering, heaven in other words. Just speaking out the word heaven brings you to the thought of angels, clouds and children serenely playing with each other.

"Actually, everyone wants to die… they just don't know the consequences of dying or there is something holding them back… like fear… or the special people who care about them. But there is a rite to live… and suicide is definitely a sin. So all we have to do is to wait for the time the Lord wants us to be with him." Athrun explained without looking at me.

I thought about the words he said for a while. "Shoot me." He said in a braggy sort of way. "I… I can't…" I finally said, putting my gun down, looking at everything… this tradgedy… this mess that the rebels have made.

The only thing a war starts with is a few misunderstandings. "Shoot. Now." Athrun said again. "I said I can't! I guess we're too young, aren't we?" I replied.

"See what I mean…" Athrun fainted in mid-sentence. "Oh my gosh, he's been shot! Shot by…" I whispered to myself, "Kira."
