Prologue: The Fall of the Songstress
"ZAFT News
9:10PM, Febuary 18"
"This is Clarice Shane, reporting for ZAFT news."
"We are now looking into the latest news where our very own ZAFT Chairwoman, Lacus Clyne-Yamato, 27, has just given birth to her third child, Midori Yamato, early this evening. The proud mother of three could be seen cuddling her youngest child as an equally proud ZAFT Commader Kira Yamato, 26, the father of all her three children, joined her. The eldest daughter, Mitsuki Yamato, 8, along with her brother, Satoshi Yamato, 7, soon joined them as they crowded over the new born Yamato. We received this from a source."
"Their happy atmosphere was contagious as ORB Representative Cagalli Yula Attha, 26, Commander Yamato's twin sister, flew together with ORB Admiral Athrun Zala, 26, from ORB to ZAFT just to be able to witness the new born baby. These two still have issues that have yet to be settled, but they seem to have an amiable relationship as of now."
"As for Ms. Midori Yamato, she is a healthy, bundle of joy that I'm sure everyone will love. As expected from all the Chairwoman's kids, the youngest Yamato is a Natural like Commander Yamato's sister. Unfortunately, just like the rest of the tykes, we weren't able to get pictures or descriptions about the baby as well as the kids. It appears that the chairwoman is following a law where in she believes that we can't show a kid's face until they turn thirteen."
"It had been Commander Yamato who had faced the paparazzi and ZAFT news earlier tonight. It had actually come to a surprise to all when we had first found out that Chairwoman Yamato had been pregnant with Ms. Mitsuki and claimed that they had decided for her not to be a coordinator like both her parents."
"We never found out why though..."
A click of a remote was heard as it echoed across the quiet room when its owner changed the channel.
"According to some sources, we have a very slight description of the young children of the Chairwoman. Mitsuki and Satoshi are said to be the exact replicas of their parents, Chairwoman Lacus Yamato and Commander Kira Yamato, respectively. Their talents are also immense, but we have yet to know as the chairwoman has forbidden their photos and other media from being shown to the public, thinking it would endanger her children. Being the most powerful woman in ZAFT, the safety of her children IS to be thought of. Nice mommy tactics, Chairwoman. We salute you!"
A grunt accompanied another click as the owner changed the channel again.
"...Chairwoman Yamato has continued to improve the treaty between ZAFT and the Earth Alliance with her kind words of peace and graced us with her love. She has continued to change the mistakes of our past chairmans, including the late ex-chariman Gilbert Dullindal's projects..."
An angry growl and another click.
"ZAFT Commander Kira Yamato is the ideal man that every woman -and some men- like to have and the man who males love to be. With his lean body, barely there muscles, messy but ever so gorgeous brown hair, stunning violet eyes, timid and kind personality yet being the skilled pilot of the Strike Freedom that dominated the battle grounds during the second war, it's no wonder to see that he would have the most beautiful woman, inside and out, in his arms as seen in the most recent picture we have of the couple."
The screen displayed a very jolly looking Kira Yamato as he held the pink-haired songstress who was then eight months pregnant in his arms. He had his arms encircled around her rounded belly as the lady in his arms appeared to be giggling.
A frustrated groan and a click though this time harder than the first two
"After that ferocious storm in South Africa, ORB Representative Attha sent in some rescue squads along with a couple from ZAFT Chairwoman Yamato ..."
CLICK
"...defense brigades have been set up and guarded by the troops of the first man, ZAFT Commander Kira Yamato and his best friend ORB Admiral Athrun Zala. This is to ensure that both Earth and ZAFT are safe from the pursuit of the space terrorists that are said to roam aimlessly. These were of course under the orders of ORB Princess and Representative Cagalli Yula Attha and ZAFT Chairwoman Lacus Clyne-Yamato who..."
CLICK
"...dominating the music charts for over six weeks, we have yet again at number one, Lacus Yamato's newest hit single..."
CLICK
"...Commander and Chairwoman Yamato..."
CLICK
"Chairwoman Yamato has..."
CLICK
"...Yamato has helped..."
CLICK
"...ZAFT Chairwoman..."
CLICK
"People have started to call this era as the Reign of the Songstress..."
The man let out a frustrated scream, "Isn't there a single channel that doesn't have that-that woman and her family?!" He slammed his fist against the wooden table, causing the TV to change its channel again.
"And we're back to Delicious Dreams, where you can learn how to bake in very easy steps!"
The man settled against his beaten-up, patched arm chair and released a sigh of relief. He would rather watch a boring, underpaid, underrated cooking show rather than see the songstress' was no way that the Yamatos would be involved in a cooking show like this...not in a million years. He observed the rather plump middle-aged woman on the screen where several kitchen utensils surrounded her.
"Welcome back to Delicious Dreams. That black forest cake is just about done. Let's take it out from the oven now."
She wore a pair of heavy cloth gloves with cute flower designs and took the cake out from the small oven. She proceeded to decorate the cake, announcing easy steps on how to make the icing.
"Once you coat the entire cake with your choice of icing, in which mine I used a dark chocolate mixture, you can decorate the cake in anyway you like." After a few moments, the woman exclaimed, "Gorgeous." She gestured towards the cake as the camera zoomed in on the cake. The viewer's eye balls nearly ended up on the floor if it were even possible.
The cake spelled in elegant, cursive letters, 'CONGRATULATIONS, CHAIRWOMAN.' The plump woman never looked so happy as all the man wanted to do was rip her apart. His fingers found solace in the old arm chair instead. He furiously exclaimed, "How is it that every single channel is about HER?!" The arms of the chair were quickly losing its stuffings as the burly man dug his hans into them. He was growling at the television like a mad dog when his attention was snapped by another voice.
"Calm yourself, Hugo. Before you murder the television." It was clear, cool and commanding.
The said man grunted, releasing the poor chair out of his hold. He grumbled, "Whatever, Boss."
The other man was hidden in the shadows, but Hugo could see him clasping his hands together and his mouth forming into a smirk. The man's lips curled into a feral grin that gleamed in the darkness. He said, "Gather your men, Hugo. It's time..."
Upon hearing this, Hugo's mouth formed into the same smile as the man before he mouthed some words to his boss. The latter merely nodded.
Without another word, both exited the unknown room, leaving the TV on and the poor arm chair sagging in front of it.
Later that night, a scream could be heard as it pierced into the night.
People were devastated.
It was all over the headlines and they just could not accept the fact that this was happening.
Their worst nightmare has come true.
In bold letters, it read, "THE FALL OF THE SONGSTRESS..."
Author's Note: In case you were wondering, my past names were angelicZ and/or FlyffAddict. I was the one who wrote Ninja Love, Three Ship Alliance University and Forbidden Love. I have decided to put Forbidden Love on hiatus and have put this one up. My writing style has changed since my first fic. This is my own style of a third season for Gundam Seed and Gundam Seed Destiny. This story is my crowning glory and hopefully, it will entertain you as it had entertained me while I was imagining it. The plot is totally mine. First chapter will be up before the end of this month. Sorry for any grammatical errors and mistakes in spelling. -Z-san
