Gundam Seed: Sisters in Time
By EmperorDraco7
Orb, an island within neutral territory and under the rule of Lord Uzumi Nara Attha, the Lion of Orb. Everyone lived a peaceful life without a care in the world despite the fact that there was a war taking place between the Earth Alliance and the ZAFT military but they knew that they would be safe as Orb would never attack anyone but they wouldn't let themselves be attacked either.
In a nearby ally, two street punks, one male and one female, were peeping heads out and began grinning. "Man, when are we going to make out move?" the male asked the female with his arms crossed.
"As soon as we find a sucker to attack" answered the female punk while preparing her chain and waiting for the time to be right. "Of course I don't want you screwing this up?"
"What? Why would I screw up? I would never…." He never got to finish what he was going to say as he heard something not from behind them. "What the hell?" he wondered, looking back to see what was making that sound.
"Hey, what are you doing?" questioned the female punk, following her friend until they arrived at a dumpster and their eyes widened in disbelief as they witnessed sparks being formed but with nothing conducting electricity anywhere. Soon a light blue orb began to form in front of them and it was slowly getting bigger "What…."
After about 4-5 minutes, there was a flash of blue light which forced the two punks to cover their eyes. A moment later the light faded and they opened their eyes to see a naked woman with red-hair and blue eyes, the male punk whistled at the sight of her. "Damn… What do we have here?" he asked himself while slowly approaching the woman with an evil grin on his face. "Perhaps she wouldn't mind if I…." before he could complete his sentence, the woman's hand grabbed his and her eyes opened wide before she tripped him and hits him hard on the nuts with her knee, causing him to kneel down to the ground with a single word. "Aughh!"
"Damn bitch!" cursed the female punk before attacking with her chain and watching it wrap itself around the red-haired woman's right arm.
"Give me your clothes now!"
The female punk gritted her teeth in anger and said. "Not a chance!" In response, she was pulled towards the red-haired woman and was kicked in the face, and then she was thrown to the ground.
"I win…." scowled the red-haired woman before stripping the unconscious punk of the clothes she was wearing and puts them on. Without another word, she made her way across the alley as she was wondering about where she currently was. Did the time machine work? Did I make it? she mentally asked herself as she made her way to the street before noticing that many people were looking at her strangely like she was about to attack them at any moment. It can't be helped that they would look at me like that, I just need a new set of clothes but first I need to know where I am.
Just then, she noticed a newspaper stand and she took a newspaper from it. Upon reading it, she was surprised when she saw that the date said March 28, C.E. 71. "If this says C.E. 71 then…." She suddenly realized something and a light smile formed on her face. "It worked…. It actually worked." However her smile faded when she took a glance at what appear to be four Orb technicians walking down a path not too far from her current location. Of course she had other important matters to attend to as she turned to the right and walked off. "I wonder…. Does she even remember me after so long?"
She slowly began thinking about someone, a person very close to her and was hoping that there was a chance to see her again after a long time apart but she was also worried about how this reunion will go especially with everything that has happened to her long ago.
Then again, she needed to make her way to Morgenroete so that she can begin a plan that she was coming up with but she needed to be careful and not to be caught by anyone there especially since it would cause serious problems if that were to happen.
"However it's not like bad things haven't happened already" she was very saddened at that thought. "Now that I'm here then maybe I could do my best to make a difference and maybe I might be able to see her again."
Then I'll try to find a way to get back home, she thought as she left.
Meanwhile at the beach of the island, there were red sparks being formed not too far away from the ocean and soon a red sphere began to form until a flash of red light consumed the area. The light faded after a few seconds to a minute and landed on her feet was a female with dark grey eyes and wearing a black ninja outfit. Remaining silent, she scanned the area that she was currently in and wondered about where she was.
"It seems this ring really does work," she said looking at the old worn ring on her finger, it was an old gold band, and has a strange engraving of some kind of stranger symbol on it.
She then proceeded to slowly make her way towards the mainland. "So…. This is Orb, it's a pity that is looks different than what I was told about" she said to herself with a darkened expression on her face, while grasping onto the handle of her katana. "No matter, I came here with a job to do and I will not fail in my mission."
This made her glance at the weapon that was at her side and sighed. "First I need to remember who I'm after and why I was chosen to perform the task" she paused for a moment, she knew that she needed to take someone out but she can't remember who except for the matter that she had red-hair and was considered a dangerous threat but she did remember that Orb is the home of the Attha family and that they could cause him problems if they weren't dealt with. "Now if I were her…. What would be the first place to go to?" He began to think about where the person he was after we hide. "Of course…. Morgenroete, where this nation gets mobile suits to use against any kind of threat to them." With that in mind, she began to run as fast as she can. She needed to act fast or else the one who sent him would be furious. "Soon…. Soon I will have my revenge…"
In the middle of the day, the police was escorting the two street punks into a cruiser. Someone had reported the two unconscious in the ally, and after putting blankets on them, they were handcuffed and taken away. As a small crowd of people had formed around the area, two certain individuals watching from the back saw the cruiser pull away, and then went to inspect the ally.
The male of the group bent over towards where a strange hole was burned into the ground. "What do you make of this?" Hibiki asked Dimensia.
"It's not my ring…" said Dimensia, frowning that whatever did this was not the same one that took the one from her.
"You sure?" asked Hibiki.
"Yes, plus the people the police arrested claimed that the attacker took some of their clothes, the ring allows for passage of foreign and non organic items," explained Dimensia.
"Then what do you think did this?"
"More rather we should ask who and why, and to make it more to the point, where are they now…" said Dimensia before she suddenly got a strange feeling through her spine and looked off in another direction.
"What is it?" he asked with a look of concern on his face, knowing that it couldn't be good at all.
"I feel it," said Dimensia, "Whoever Yuni gave my ring to, their here in the city right now." She ran off the next second as soon as she finished.
"Hey wait for me," yelled Hibiki as he followed her to the direction where she was running off to.
After having had snuck into Morgenroete though a series of underground tunnels she had heard about, the red-haired time traveler managed to get to a supply closest where she got a spare Morgenroete uniform, and began to head to the hanger where she was told that the Archangel would be stationed during this point in time.
She managed to sneak onboard the ship as workers were busy all over the place repairing it.
I should still have some time before the ship begins to head towards Alaska again, she thought.
"Liar! You're lying!" she suddenly heard a voice from not too far away and made her way to where it was coming. After a few seconds to 2 minutes, she arrived at the scene of an argument between a red-haired girl in a pink Earth Alliance uniform and a brown-haired male in an orange technician uniform. "Do you feel bad for me, is that it?"
It's her, thought the woman in the Morgenroete uniform, not believing what she was just witnessing
"What…" wondered the brown-haired male in disbelief at how the girl was reacting to him. "No… I…" he didn't get to finish as she began snapping at him again.
"You're feel sorry for me because no one has come to see me is that it?" she shrieked.
"No Flay… that's not it at all." he didn't know how to react to what she was saying.
"Give me a break Kira!" yelled Flay with anger in her eyes, not wanting to listen to what he is trying to tell her. "I really couldn't care less about your damn sympathy!" She gave him a hateful glance. "You're the one who is really suffering and people should be sorry for you. Poor little Kira! He's all alone, you feel terrible about having to fight and when you fail to protect someone you start crying" she then latched herself onto him and began sobbing while hitting his chest with her fists. "So how… How could you feel any sympathy for someone like me?"
The red-haired woman watched this moment and was feeling really sad for Flay; she knew how the girl felt as she too had lost her family long ago. She then placed her hands onto her chest at that thought as she saw Kira lower his head. "Flay…. Let's end it..." he spoke softly. "This was a mistake."
"What did you say?" asked Flay in shock and disbelief before her face hardened again upon realizing what he meant. "What does that mean?" She ran off of the room with tears in her eyes without noticing the woman's presence.
The older-red head couldn't believe what she just saw and turned towards Kira with a darkened expression on her face, revealing herself to him. Without thinking, she marched into the room and before he could ask her who she was, she slapped him hard across the face. "You fucking bastard!" she shrieked in a venomous tone. "How dare you make her cry!"
With a grunt, Kira was thrown to the ground by the sheer force behind the redhead's slap, and he remained there in a daze as he tried to regain his bearings. When he finally could stand up again, he shook his head and climbed to his feet, sizing up the woman in front of him. "What… who are you? What do you mean… by that!"
"You know all too damn well what I mean!" the older redhead yelled at him, going straight in his face as Kira tried to back away. "You don't have any idea of how you've broken her heart, huh? You don't know shit about what you might have done!"
Kira was completely surprised, and slowly massages his aching cheek. He truly had no idea what this woman was saying… but she seemed very serious about it, and she spoke as if Kira had done something very bad. "I… I don't know what you're talking about… and I don't even know who you are, to be fair!"
The red-haired woman narrowed her eyes at Kira. "Who I am is of no importance now. But if you really need to know, I happen to be Flay's sister. Older sister, to be exact." She answered bluntly. "What matters now is that you should go explain yourself to Flay before anything happens you might regret."
"What? What do you mean… her sister?" Kira was ow more surprised than ever, and was still unsure of what was going on… but the conviction she put forth in calling him out on his actions made him decide that in the end, it was probably better to do like she said, at least for now. And now that he thought of it, he had probably been a little harsh to Flay…
"Alright… alright, I will!" Kira murmured, before standing up and walking out of his room, the girl following him close behind and giving him a somewhat uncomfortable vibe. She seemed to be hovering around him and checking whether he was going to make good on his claim. "Er… sorry to ask that, but do you really have to follow me around? It's making me a little uneasy…"
"It's important that I control whether you apologize." She answered matter-of-factly, not wanting to reveal her identity but also added. "More important than you could possibly know, in fact…"
Without another thought, the woman was glancing at him as he began his search to see if he can find the younger red-haired girl though she was wondering about what she herself will do during her time in the past as there was something she needed to take care of but for now had to wait. I just hope nothing else goes wrong… she thought to herself while making sure that the younger male will make good of his word.
Unknowing to either of them, the second time traveler that had arrived on the beach had also managed to get into Morgenrate, and had already arrived a bit earlier than the first.
She had watched as the argument between the red haired girl and the brown haired boy had erupted as the female ran from the room. Then for the disguised woman to appear and slap him in the face.
I found you, she thought as he watched the woman slap the person she knows was named Kira Yamato, or rather Kira Hibiki. Durandal's orders were to kill the Ultimate Coordinator before he can become a threat to the Destiny plan. But first, I will take revenge for my brother. She followed the corridor where the red-haired girl in the EA recruit uniform had run down. I will balance the pain out, she thought as she slowly pulled his sword from its sheath. Blood for blood, that is the only way,
Meanwhile on the beach, Hibiki and Dimensia were observing the site where the second time traveler had arrived in. "No doubt, the energy readings here are from the ring," said Dimensia, recognizing what the energy was.
"Any idea who the dicitizens could have given it to?" asked Hibiki with a look of confusion on his face as whoever had the ring could have given it to anyone in this dimension.
"No, but knowing them it cant be very much good," said Dimensia while frowning before Hibiki saw footsteps in the sand leading away, to which the teo followed till they came along a pair where they began to suspect that the only logical place of importance near here was Morgenroete, so they began to head in that direction.
Suddenly Hibiki was two figures he recognized and pulled Dimensia aside behind a small food stand. "Hey, what are you doing?" she asked, wondering why he was doing what he did.
"Shh… stay quiet," said Hibiki as he took a quick look behind the corner.
His suspensions were correct. The pair was crowded with people going on about their lives, but he could see two people in Morgenroete uniforms, and were most certainly not Morgenroete workers.
"Athrun and Nicol," Hibiki recognized who the two people were, realizing something as he did so.
"If they're here, then this must be around the time the Archangel is being repaired before we ended up heading for Alaska again."
"Then its possible that may be whoever has the ring has come here to do, maybe to stop the Archangel from reaching Alaska." said Hibiki with a serious expression on his face when he said that..
"Let us head to Morgenroete then," said Dimensia before they turned towards the direction of where the facility was located, knowing that things will only get worse here. "I hope we're not too late…"
While trying to find Flay, the brown-haired Coordinator was still confused by the who the woman is and why she is saying that she is Flay's sister since he had previously heard from the red-haired Natural that there was no one living in her house in Orb as her mother died when she was younger so how could she have a sister if she never told him about her to begin with? Then again, there may be other things that she had never mentioned to anyone so it couldn't be helped.
Maybe she just didn't feel like talking about it, and now I hurt her without realizing it… Kira thought to himself. Oh, good grief… now that I think about it, I really don't know much about Flay at all…
Finally, Kira came across Flay's room, and found the entrance door slightly opened much to his relief. With an hesitant pace, he stepped to the entrance door and lightly knocked, before waiting for a response. When nothing came, he decided to be more direct about it and knocked a little louder, before calling to whoever was inside. "Flay? Are you still there? With your permission, I'm coming in!" he said. His only response was an aggravated sigh coming from the redhead sulking inside her room… which at least wasn't a flat-out refusal.
Kira pushed the door aside and entered the room, looking around himself to see where Flay was. The redhead was sitting on her bed, her eyes downcast and her expression dark. Her blue eyes raised towards Kira, regarding him with a cold, yet hurt, demeanor. Kira felt a little uneasy under her scrutiny, but he quickly got over it and began speaking.
"Flay, I believe there's something we need to clarify…"
"What of it?" Flay said bluntly, but even so, it was possible to feel the sadness in her voice. "You wanted to repeat to me that it was a mistake for us to get closer? To sleep together? Because if this is about that, then we've already said everything that's needed, right? So, just go! If you've come to pity me, I don't need any of that!"
Kira sighed. Here was the proof that he had hurt her feelings more than he imagined. But still, it was not too late to fix things. "Please, Flay… at least allow me to explain things. After that, if you want, I'll go away." Kira stated. "But first, please, let me explain."
Flay remained completely silent as she glanced at the brown-haired Coordinator, gesturing for him to give her an explanation while he sighed again before starting speak in a soft voice. "We're all really stressed, Flay… you know that, because you too have been greatly affected by what happened… and I'm still sorry I couldn't save your father back then… I really wish I could have done something, Flay… I really do!"
Hearing him mention her father again caused Flay to feel a surge of anger, but she suppressed that and allowed Kira to explain himself. After all, he seemed sincere, and even apologetic for having failed to save George Allster…. The last living family member she had left "Yes… I know…" she murmured darkly, one of her hands tightly gripping the cover of her bed.
"My point is…" Kira continued, placing a hand on Flay's shoulder, which the girl accepted with a nod. "That I wasn't really thinking straight when I said that to you. Actually, I don't want us to break up, I was just very upset and nervous… and I thought we needed some time to think about that ourselves! After all… we did get together in very tense circumstances!"
"I think I see what you mean, Kira…" Flay started to say, tears forming in her eyes. "But the truth is, I really want us to be together as well. I… know I said a number of cruel things to you, and for that I need to apologize…"
"No need to." Kira answered with a small smile. "Anyway, I just didn't want us to be too hasty with this relationship. I know we're in a rather difficult position, and I'd like for us to have more time to think. Maybe we will get our chance soon…"
The woman watched as Kira and Flay had their talk, she never knew that the two were even in a relationship to begin with though is glad that they're having a chance to fix things up a bit. "At least that is one problem resolved for now…" she said to herself, as she made sure that neither one of the two teens would notice her and hopefully ensure that history will occur as it had before. "That just leaves one more…" she never got to finish what she was going to say as her wrist watch suddenly detected something approaching and it meant only one things. "No… not now… I have to warn them before it's too late…"
"Kira, Flay! There's no more time!" she called to the teens, sensing danger. "You have to escape, she's coming! And she won't rest until you are eliminated!"
"What?" Kira exclaimed, jumping up in surprise. "What… what are you saying? And… who's this woman you speak of?"
"No time to explain, Kira… we need to get away from her as soon as we can! Now!" she said, sounding terribly urgent… However before she could say anything else, the assassin appeared in the room, wearing a ninja like outfit-including a mask with a darkened expression on her face.
"Well, well…. What a surprise? I came here to terminate the love of a future threat and it appears that you are here to try and stop me?" said the assassin, drawing a sword out at them then continued. "This is my lucky day…. I get to kill three birds with one stone!"
A/Ns: Well here it is, the start of my time-travel fic and I am hoping that I can do more for this in the future whenever I have the chance as well as the time.
