The battle was going all out as the EA and the archangel continued their fight.
"Captain, mobile suits are closing in from the rear". Said Miriallia.
"Evade, target and fire". Shouted Murrue
The EA forces were getting the advantage as their units began to dominate the battle field.
"We cant let them take down Orb, keep fighting," shouted Athrun from the Justice.
In another area of the sky, Kira was fighting with Josh.
"I ll take you all down. You ll all pay for what you did to Ami". He shouted through the comlink as he fought against the Freedom.
"What are you talking about ", said kira as he evaded a laser beam from the mobile suit, "Who s Ami ".
"The Pilot of the Laser you murderer, "said josh.
Kira then relized that he was talking about Flay
"You don t know what your talking about, her name isn t Ami, its flay. She was brainwashed by the EA".
"Don t try to trick me with your word games, she may not have had her memory but Im not going to believe a member of the archangel, the ones who turned their back on the Alliance".
Josh then managed to slam into the freedom as kira was knocked back from the recoil.
"Captain, the Freedom is in trouble "said Miriallia.
The archangel bridege crew, and Athrun as well, saw the freedom get knocked back as josh swung out a laser sword and commenced to destroy the Freedom.
"Today, you fall Freedom he shouted as he flew right at him with the sword". Kira after getting his focus back after the tackle, turned back to his monitor as he saw the blade of the sword headed right for him.
"I can t evade it in time", thought Kira. This was the end for him.
"You haven t changed at all, Fllay"
For some reason this was the first thing that came to his mind. The last thing he had said to flay, right before he practically told her that he didn t love her. He felt horrible for that, he had promised her that he would protect her, but he had hurt her with that statement, the words of hate that he had directed at her. He might as well have been saying he wanted her to be dead again.
Now he understood how she must have felt, he felt the same way when lost her, the feeling that he would never see her again. she must have hated him for saying that. But he probably deserved it. Now fate was making him pay for it.
"I m sorry flay, you came back and I treated you so badly. Im sorry I couldn t keep my promise to protect you". He prepared for his destruction as Josh's sword neared for his cockpit.
"Kira" shouted Cagalli from the archangel s bridge, everyone around her turned as they all managed to see the Freedom as Josh s mobile suit was about destroy it.
"Kira, get out of there" yelled Athrun as he managed to disable the enemys around him and turned to see the Freedom's battle.
The next second Josh's mobile suit was tackled by a black blur just as it was about to make contact with the Freedom and knocked into the oceans waters.
"What the .. "was all Josh could say as he disapeered below the surface.
All the EA units paused as they had expected the Freedom, one of the greatest obsticles in their way of defeating ORB, to be destroyed that very instant. The archangel had expected to lose their comrade , but everyone was staring as they now saw a black Gundam hovering in front of Freedom, just having saved it from its near destruction.
Kira didn't undersatand what had happened.
"Why am I still alive ", he had been running the memory of what he had said to flay in his mind, part of him felt that this was his punishment for what he had done to her in the last moment they saw each other. Now he found himself still alive, as if he had a guardian angel watching over him, that thought was strange as he heard a voice belonging to someone who once held that place in his heart come over the com link,
"Kira, are you all right".
Kira was speechless. He didn t expect to hear her voice again, much less for her to appear and save him, the very thing he was unable to do for her.
The archangel had heard the voice as well and they were just as confused as kira was.
"Flay", said kira, "What are you... , why are you here".
Flay from the Black Lady replied, "I came to help you Kira". Kira just stared as he saw Flay s face come up on his screen.
"I know that you have every right to hate me and not trust me right now, but I give you my word that I m not going to let the EA destroy ORB, and once this battle is over", she said as she turned toward the archangel who she knew was listening in on the conversation, "I promise that I ll tell everyone everything".
"Tell us everything?" Kira asked, confused at the way Flay had said that.
"Yes", Flay said to kira making eye contact with him, staring at his eyes, an image of Rose's smiling face came into her mind, "Everything Kira".
She meant it, no matter if he forgave her or not, no matter if he still love her or not, she would be the one to protect him this time. She was going to make sure she showed him that she had changed, whether she had a place in his life or not, she would show him how much he meant to her through her actions.
But most importantly, she would make sure that the war would end, then she could begin to be a mother to Rose. That still brought many thoughts to her mind. She still couldn t remember her memorys from after she was recovered from Jachin Due. She wondered just how long Rose had been wondering why her mother wasent there for her these last few years. Yet, Rose didn t show any trace of holding that against Flay when she saw her, it was as if she had been hoping that her mother would return to see her again. Flay didn t know the first thing about being a mother. With her mother gone from her life at a very young age, Flay had only been raised by her father her whole life. But she would do what she could.
Flay knew that there was little chance that Kira would chose to be with her, and that would mean little chance that Rose would have a father in her life. But flay knew that she could not force fatherhood onto Kira, not after everything she had done to him. He never asked to be a father, and it was she that pushed him towards the actions that led to them conceiving Rose. She didn t ask to be a mother either, but this was her responsibility and she needed to be the responsible one. She needed to remember the most important thing of all.
Kira might not be part of her life anymore, but she had Rose. She may have been the result of her plan to destroy Kira, but she was her child, her only blood relitave, her only family.
I will change, flay thought, for both of them.
BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP
Flay was snapped back to reality as the Black Lady s sensors picked up mobile suits closing in on her, the Freedom, and the archangel forces.
"Kira" Flay moved to shield the Freedom from an uncoming beam shot, being pushed back from the force hitting her shield.
"Flay" yelled kira as he saw flay take the hit.
BEEPBEEPBEEP
Flay turned and fired as missles flew in the direction of the archangel, destroying them before they hit the ship.
"She, she saved us, again "said Cagalli as she saw the missles were destroyed.
Flay continued to fire upon the attacking forces that kept trying to destroy the Freedom and the archangel.
"I cant keep up with all these units "thought flay.
The next moment multiple beam shots came out of nowhere and started destroying the EA mobile suits around the archangel.
"Hey, where did those beams come from?" said Mu.
Athrun in the Justice checked his scanners, "I don t pick anything up".
"Captain Ramius, I found something "said Miriallia.
She didn t have to say anything more as the Red Devil and the Purple Devil disengaged their mirage collide and engaged the EA forces.
"What, are.. are those machines helping us". Said captain ramius.
The next second they heard a voice over the communications channel.
"Archangel, this is Red Devil and Purple Angel". Mira said from her unit in a cheery voice.
"We will be assisting you to end this battle", said Jessica, who sounded more serious than her comrade.
"Why are you helping us, what do you have to do with this battle"? asked Cagalli from the bridge.
"We are part of an organization that was ordered to fight back against the EA, if you don t want to completely trust us, we understand. But know that we are against the EA, so its best if we act as allys to keep them from destroying everything, don t you agree".
The bridge was scilent for a sec, "Very well," said Murrue, "we shall fight alongside you until we have a proper chance to discuss things".
"Mira, Jessica, we still have the EA forces to deal with".
Flay's voice caught everyones attention as they saw the Black Lady flying back to the archangel with the damaged Freedom.
"We know that, lets get to it"
The three gundams beloning to Mira, Jessica, and Flay flew off to take down the attacking EA forces as the archangle forces continued fighting as well.
"Flay" Kira continued to battle along the archangle, but seeing Flay again, and to see her fighting to protect him and the archangel, he was confused about everything.
She has changed
He was still unsure of everything as he disabled mobile suits, when this is over, I have to let her know I'm sorry.
Back on board on of the EA ships, Boris was observing the battle with anger in his face.
"Sir, our forces are being pushed back, what do we do?" said an EA crew member
Boris simply stared at the battle field. they were winning just a moment ago, then the three new machines apperead and changed the outcome of their almost obtained victory.
"Order a retreat" he said
It was over, they could win this battle.
"Sir, come in."
Boris heard a voice come on the line. "Josh, yours still out there."
"Yes, I pretty badly hit. I'm going to stay hidden, continue with the retreat. If we cant take out ORB, I'm going to take out on thing fo sure."
Meanwhile on the battlefield, the ORb forces and the three gundam were continueing to take on the EA when signal flairs flashed in the sky. All the units began pulling back the next minute.
After the last ship and mobile suit cleared out of ORBs waters, the archangel crew gave a sigh of relief.
"That was too close for comfort" said Mu.
"Captain Ramius, how is the archangel" said kira from the Freedom.
"Everyones all right, how about you?" replied the captain.
"ORBs safe for now, thank goodness" said cagalli.
"Yeah", said Athrun, "But it was mostly thanks to those three".
Everyone turned to see the three gundams that helped them in the battle approuch.
"Kira, are you all right"
The Freedom turned as kira heard flay's voice.
"Yeah", he replied, "Flay, I"m sorr...."
"I'm sorry Kira"
What, kira thought, she saying she's sorry
"I'm sorry to everyone" directing her voice to the archangel, "I promised that I would tell everything I knew when the battle was over, and I plan to keep that."
The black Lady turned to face the Freedom, "Kira, there something you need to know as well........."
"I hate to interrupt the conversation Flay," said Jessica, "But Mrs. K sent us here for another reason."
The Red Devil turned to face the archangel, "Is Representitive Attha on the archangel?"
Cagalli spoke through the communications line, "Yes, what is you wish to address me of"
"As I said before, we are part of an organization that is against the EA. Judgeing from the damage you were taking before we arrived, you dont have very much chance against the EA at their current strenght. But neither does our own organization, because of that, our superior has asked to meet with you to discuss an alliance between our forces to......"
BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP
The next second there was an attack alert on everyones sensors. Before anyone could react, Josh in his machine flew out of the water. He drew a beam saber and charged for the hevely damaged freedom.
"I will destroy you".
Kira didn t have time to move. He raised his shiled to try to block the saber.
But it didnt matter as the black lady suddenly moved in front of him. The next second josh slashed his saber through the chest of the cockpit.
"Get out of my way" he said as he threw the units away. (This is similar to the scene in Gundam 00 when Lockon(Neil) took a hit from Patrick's GN-X while sheilding Virtue).
"flay". Yelled kira
Athrun quickly monuvered to shoot josh back away from kira.
"Blast"said josh as he flew away from the gundams and retreated in the direction the earth forces left.
Kira flew downward as he tried to catch the falling gudnam that was carrying flay. But as he got nearer a red blur flew over the black lady and disappeared.
Kira looked up to see the red Gundam that had come with flay holding the damaged black Gundam. His camera showed him the now opened cockpit of the machine. Inside was flay, now unconsious and badly injured. She had blood all over her and he could see that she was loosing more of it fast.
"Mira", said Jessica over the link as she held flays damaged machine in the arms of her own, "flays losing a lot of blood, we have to get her back to the base quick".
"Roger"said Mira
"Wait", yelled kira as he started flying towards the retreating Red Devil carrying the Black lady.
He was stopped as the Purple Angel flew in front of him, blocking his path.
"what are you doing "said kira
Mira gave a small giggle over the link, "Sorry, looks like we'll have to finsh this talk another time. Represetitive Attha, we would like to continue to discuss what we were talking about at our base, and if you want to know what Flay was going to tell you," she said turning back to Kira, "then be at the Sapphire tomorrow."
Mira turned around and both she, Jessica, and Flays machines flew off and disapeered under mirage colloid.
Kira stared at the spot he saw flays machine disappear. She was in bad condition, and she had become that way sheilding him from an attack that would have killed him.
Kira produced a tear as stared out at last place he had seen the woman he once loved, and who he had hurt.
He had hurt her emotionally, yet she still returned to protect him.
The Justice moved toward the Freedom, "Kira, I know that you must be very confused right now, but we needed to get things on the homeland back in order after the battle."
Kira looked up and replied, "Yeah, I know"
He began turning and heading back towards the Island with the rest of the archangel forces.
He stopped as he took another look at where he saw flay disapeer.
"Flay"
