CHAPTER ONE- War's Bloody Disdain

"All hands to level one battle stations!" On the loudspeaker the voice blared quite loudly. A young man with shoulder length blue hair and deep green eyes rushed to the ship's bridge. "Captain!" The crew saluted.

"Report?" The man asked.

"There are unidentified vessels preparing to attack the ship!" A crew member reported.

"Alright. Prepare the ship and tell everyone to launch and attack the vessels with everything we got." He replied calmly taking a seat.

"They fired missiles, prepare for impact in 10, 9, 8…" The crewman kept counting.

"Put shields up!" The Captain shouted hurriedly.

"BAMM!" "We're hit Captain!" A crew member yelled and the ship shook. "Shields down to 90 percent." He reported.

"Get the ship out of here with max speed capabilities after the next missle." The Captain said.

"The vessel blocked our hatch captain, the gundams are unable to launch." A crewman said.

"On my command fire lasers" He said. He watched the screen and viewed the ship. "FIRE!" He yelled. The laser hit with a direct hit.

"Captain… the vessel seemed to have not been affected." A man said. "Captain incoming lasers prepare for impact in 20… 19… 18…" He began.

"Shields!" The Captain yelled. "BOOM!"

"Shields down to … 10 percent efficiency!" The man said shocked. "What!" He asked amazed.

"We're doomed for…" A woman crew member sobbed.

"No we're not, pay attention." The Captain snapped.

"Wombats fired, impact in… 5… 4…3…2…1…0…" The crewman screamed nervously. It was over and this captain knew it, "MAYDAY MAYDAY! Ship going down someone help us!" The Captain shouted into a speaker hoping to contact anyone. "Mr. Zala… it's over." A woman crew member said crying her heart out. "It's over." She said.

Not too far away a young lady of eighteen years with golden blonde hair and brown eyes was scurrying among the all too familiar streets of her home. Wearing her blue and white uniform she headed to her school with her two best friends Miriallia Haw and Lacus Clyne.

"What's yours?" Her orange haired friend with beautiful blue eyes asked the daydreaming girl. "Hello? Earth to Cagalli?" Miriallia asked loudly.

"Oh! What?" Cagalli looked at her confusedly and moved her brown eyes to look at Miriallia

"Were you even listening?" She asked.

"I'm sorry." Cagalli admitted guiltily.

"I asked what you're going to do after high school is over?" Miriallia reminded her.

"Oh… hm… I suppose I'll go to college for five years or so. But what I really want to do is fly in a battle ship…" Cagalli said dreamily. "And possibly find a man to love and settle down with him." She said. "But… it's just a silly dream." Cagalli sighed.

"Well you'd have to get the training that coordinators get. But… you're just a natural." Miriallia said.

"Oh, Mir don't shatter Cagalli's dreams!" Lacus said pointing this out. She flipped back her long pink hair and smiled solemnly, her baby blue set of eyes twinkled.

"No… she's right." Cagalli sadly agreed.

"Hey, Mir! Mir!" A familiar voice sounded and Miriallia turned around.

"Dearka!" She yelled gleefully. His wavy blonde hair moved in the direction of the wind and his blue eyes were fixed upon Miriallia's smiling face.

"There's bad news. The Captain of the Minerva, Talia Gladys told me that the Eternity, led by Commander Zala is under attack. Admiral Garcia sent out the Minerva for back up, but Captain Gladys says that the Commander won't make it." Dearka said sadly. His smile quickly dissipated, he seemed deep in thought.

"I heard that the Eternity is aligned to land on the island right next to us!" Miriallia said.

"A crash landing?" Lacus asked worriedly.

"I'll be back." And with that Cagalli disappeared.

"I think… we should tell Kira." Lacus said.

A red haired female with blue-gray eyes approached, "What's with her? I just saw Cagalli whiz by." Lunamaria and her three friends had accompanied her as well as Kira.

Lacus stared at Kira, "Athrun's in trouble, Cagalli probably went to save him." Lacus added.

"Doesn't Mr. Zala already have a girlfriend?" Lunamaria asked interested.

Dearka spoke, "Cagalli's not going for that reason. She's simply rescuing him." He added.

"I'm going to launch the Freedom. Cagalli can't go by herself, if she gets involved, she'll be forced to go to the rendezvous point." Kira said.

"Alright." Mir nodded.

"I'll be going too." Lacus departed with Kira.

At the area of the wreckage no one seemed harmed, only the island's tree and a few scared animals.

"Athrun! Athrun!" A familiar female with blonde hair and brown eyes approached him with tears in her eyes. From the rubble a blue haired Gundam pilot emerged, and then he crouched and slowly stood.

"Cagalli? Is the crew okay?" he gasps selflessly, his wounds hurting him more than they appear.

"I'm not sure… but are you okay?" She ran over to him and started inspecting his wounds.

"Yes, but… there was a civilian on the ship, a little girl." He said clutching his arm and inspecting the battle ground.

"Athrun, are you seriously thinking about going back… in space?" Cagalli asked. She thought for a moment, getting shot out of the sky would surely bruise Athrun's ego and he would surely think better of going back into battle… right?

"Cagalli, listen. We were attacked by the Earth Alliance, I thought the war ended, they took hostages. Before we crashed they boarded our ship and took people, then they left. I have to go… they have innocents, and chasing them is exactly what they want." Athrun said pushing aside scraps of the once glorious battleship The Eternity.

"I have to come with you then." Cagalli said.

"Cagalli… you can't come. I nearly missed death and I'm sure it will happen again. The Minerva is coming we have to go back, I'll receive my orders there." Athrun said clearing an area and looking for any undamaged pieces. "I'm sure the Captain of the Minerva will provide me back up. I may receive orders to go with them in fact." Athrun said thinking.

"Athrun you jerk!" Cagalli shouted, attempting to slap him.

Athrun grabbed her wrist, "Cagalli you have to understand the circumstances." He said calmly. "I know that the Earth Alliance is having a meeting with ZAFT this Saturday at nineteen hundred hours." Athrun said.

"Yes I understand, Commander." She purposely emphasized. 'It didn't feel like Athrun and I were friends anymore…. Just Commander and a crew member but the strangest thing was that he didn't know why I want to go with him'. Cagalli thought to herself. She snatched her arm away and shot a glare at him that clearly read her fiery temper was rising. "Whether you like it or not Athrun Zala I will find a way." She prodded him with her finger. This was one of her promises to herself and by the looks of it he was clearly confused.

"I'll see you at the political meeting then, Miss. Cagalli." Athrun said.

"I will surely be there to organize an after party to have musicians perform a requiem for most of your dead crew members." Cagalli snapped.

"No need, Lacus will do just fine." He snapped, a familiar ship called the Minerva landed not too far away on the island.

"You are simply a disgrace to all man kind and battle commanders." Cagalli shot an icy glare at him.

"I think not Cagalli, you are simply a disgrace to all naturals." He said heading towards the ship. The hatch opened and a young man emerged, black haired, fair skinned and he had deep red eyes.

"Get in." he ordered slightly moving aside. Athrun gave him a look of slight anger and confusion, even so he obeyed.

"Come on Miss. Athha." The boy seemed to hiss.

A sweet girl with long pink hair and gentle blue eyes sat in a chair in a private room. She held a brush in her hand slowly braiding it, sitting next to her was Murrue Ramnius. "Miss. Ramnius… I believe ZAFT will uphold its ties with the Earth Alliance, no force wants to be outnumbered and fight a war." Lacus Clyne said. "Perhaps there will be no need for a big debate tonight if I can somehow touch their hearts and remind them of the loss of war." Lacus added; she wore a long white ball gown and heels. Murrue held Lacus' currently misplaced tiara, as Lacus' friend applied make- up.

"Yes I'm quite sure of that… but Miss. Clyne how do you suppose ZAFT and the naturals will uphold our relationship with Orb? The neutral… nations?" She questioned.

"I believe Orb will do anything in its power to prevent a war without actually getting involved. I am also led to believe that Orb will remain neutral until they believe Cagalli is being threatened." Lacus said.

"Miss. Athha is now in command of Orb. But I beg to differ… this is more of a gossipy personal thing but, would you like to hear anyway?" Murrue asked politely.

"Of course, any opinion matters." Lacus said interestedly.

"I've heard from Kira that… Miss. Athha has had a rather strong relationship with Mr. Zala during the war. But I've also recently heard Mr. Zala has a girlfriend. I suppose this may cause Miss. Athha to have mixed feelings and possibly doubt her trust with the Earth Alliance." Murrue concluded.

"Miss. Ramnius, I doubt Cagalli will trust the Earth Alliance less, she does not lose her trust in others for personal matters. But I am quite sure that Athrun does return the feelings." Lacus concluded.

"You are correct I would think. But… I'm not sure Miss. Athha will remain in her position much longer, she has a tendency to take action without thought meaning she may join the war without anyone else's consent other then her own." Murrue warned.

"That's why we have two solutions. One, find Cagalli a husband, or two stop the war from beginning." Lacus said standing.

"Of course. Miss. Clyne I bid you good luck and please do not forget this." Murrue held out Lacus' glittering tiara.

"I… thank you Miss. Ramnius. You are truly a great help." Lacus said taking the tiara and opening the door. "Remember to bring along those Gundam pilots… goodbye." She said closing the door behind her.

"Wait." Miss. Ramnius hurriedly opened the door. "I have… two things to give you." She said.

Lacus turned, "Two?" she asked confusedly.

"This…" Murrue pulled out a gorgeous sapphire hair clip. "Is to you from Kira." She explained.

Lacus looked surprised, "Such a generous gift… I doubt I have one to return with such great value…." Lacus said.

She laughed, "You gave him the ring correct Miss. Clyne?" Murrue asked.

"Yes… I believe I did," she said hesitantly taking the clip.

"And this… is from Cagalli she wanted you to give it to Athrun. She said she's angry at him and doesn't want to give it to him in person." She laughed and pulled out a necklace with a sign of orb, earth and ZAFT on it carved from pure diamond. The gem it was carved into was a rare white opal and on a gold chain.

"A very wonderful gift indeed, I will be sure to give it to Athrun." Lacus said.

"Yes." Murrue said.

"I will see you tonight Miss. Ramnius… I left something on the balcony, it's for you." She smiled pleasantly.

"Goodbye." She bid Lacus farewell. Lacus turned down the corridor heading towards the ballroom. She opened the door and peered inside, inside stood Stellar Loussier, Shin Asuka, Sting Oakley, Athrun Zala, and Auel Neider. Four of them were boys and one a girl, all Gundam pilots.

"Athrun." Lacus walked over.

"Yes?" Athrun asked turning, he wore a black tuxedo with a small white rose given to him by Lacus. "We need to talk." She said. The blonde haired girl in a midnight blue dress, Stellar, stared. Sting just smiled curtly, wearing his best tuxedo as well. Lacus took Athrun's hand and led him close to the door.

"From Cagalli." She handed him the necklace.

"I wonder why Cagalli spent so much money on me." He said looking at the necklace and decidedly putting it on. Lacus smiled good naturedly.

"I… am worried," Lacus suddenly said. Athrun looked into her eyes reading her like an open book.

"Your song?" he asked knowingly.

"Yes…. I haven't finished it." Lacus said hesitantly.

"Don't worry Lacus you think too much, the words will come." Athrun comforted.

Once everyone filed in the announcements began. "Today is about the ambush the Earth Alliance has taken on ZAFT." Gilbert Durandal, the chief chairman of the PLANT supreme council said loudly into the microphone. "The chairman of the Earth Alliance would like to have a word." Gilbert Durandal stepped to the side.

"The ambush on the ZAFT battleship the Eternity will be paid for, we will repent. However the ambush wasn't under our rule, it was committed by a break away, Lucas Krist; he had members join his cause. He announced that ZAFT has a new type of nuclear weapon. We tried to convince him but it was not to be." This continued for an hour or so.

Now the question was war? Or not? Lacus stood suddenly coming to the podium.

"We will not go to war." She announced in a clear voice. "We will not go until we are pushed to. We will protect all the civilians and any possible place that Lucas Krist will think to attack." She said.

Gilbert Durandal stood, "All in favor?" He asked, many people came to agree. Lacus sat back down and another hour passed. "We will do as Miss. Clyne says… now everyone let's get back to what was originally planned." Gilbert Durandal said, music began to play and people went to go eat and dance.

"Ahem…" Lacus stood at the microphone nervously. "I dedicate this song to ZAFT and the Earth Alliance. I hope it will help." Lacus said. "Through all the years you held my hand, a bond so true and wonderful, you taught me everything I knew…
