Fllay's Decision
By Kuwabara99
Chapter 2: Turning Around.
Natarle was having a hard time keeping a grip on Azrael as he struggled to get her off him. She had just given Fllay the word to leave and was hoping she would comply. Just as she was ready to say something to Azrael, a look of shock fell upon her. Instead of leaving through the elevator, Fllay had kicked off the wall and was floating toward the both of them. Azrael saw this and was furious. "Back for more stupid girl?" He shouted as he aimed his gun at her and pulled the trigger, just as Natarle grabbed his arm. "Ahhh!" Fllay screamed in pain as the bullet grazed her arm. Natarle was getting tired of this and managed to smack Azrael in the face hard, which infuriated Azrael. "You freaking bitch! I'm gonna kill you!"
Fllay had just realized that the pain wasn't as serious as she thought. The bullet had only grazed her and was only lightly bleeding. She noticed Azrael was starting to get the upper hand on Natarle and decided to try something. Fllay had unbuckled her belt and finally got over to the two. Natarle noticed this while he was busy trying to get his gun aimed at her and suddenly pulled him around to where his back was now facing Fllay. "Take this!" Fllay yelled as she smacked him hard in the back of the head with the belt, causing him to let go of the gun. Natarle proceded to punch him in the face hard, making him lose his grip on her.
"Back to your posts everyone! I'm retaking this ship now!" Natarle ordered her officers back to their stations as Azrael was floating toward the elevator. "You're all gonna pay for this! You especially Fllay Allster...You Traitors!" Azrael shouted at them before taking the elevator toward the lower launch bay. "But, what about him?" Fllay asked, obviously worried about Azrael escaping. Natarle sighed, "I know, but we have bigger fish to fry now. Oh yes, are you ok Fllay?" Fllay held her arm, "It's not bad. It just grazed me," She said with a wince. Natarle smiled and exhaled in relief. "Thank you Fllay for turning around. I actually expected you to leave, but you had such courage to do what you did. If we ever get out of this, I would put you up for a promotion if possible." Fllay blushed at these words, stammering in return "I...I don't know what to say... I'm just glad I was able to help."
"Damn those traitors! I can't believe I lost control of the bridge there. I need to get back to Earth as soon as possible," Azrael exclaimed, holding the back of his head as he got to the shuttle bay. As he entered the bay a man stepped out of the shadows with a serious look, asking, "You had trouble up there boss?" Azrael noticed the tall man with brown hair and grey eyes and gave a detesting look. "There you are Michael, I've been looking for you. Have the mobile armour ready for launch, We're heading back to Earth." Azrael commanded. Michael nodded and proceeded to get the only MA in the launch bay ready. "Get a suit on, I have to manually open the bay doors." Michael said to Azrael, which Azrael complied with before getting into the MA. Once Michael got the bay doors open, Azrael fired up the MA and zoomed out of the Dominion at full speed. "One Day..." Azrael said through gritted teeth as he passed out of sight of the ship.
Freedom, Justice, Strike Rouge Enroute to Genesis.
Kira had been silent the entire time as they were speeding toward Genesis. A concerned Cagalli spoke up. "Are you ok Kira? You haven't said a thing since we left the Archangel." which caused Kira to finally break his silence. "I know...I've been rather worried about the ship ever since we left it. I have a bad feeling something will happen to my friends back there." Athrun stopped his Meteor suddenly. Kira was surprised at this and stopped as well. "What are you..." "Go on Kira, we will handle this," Athrun interjected before Kira could finish his sentence. Kira was shocked that his friend had given in like that. "Alright...take care of Cagalli for me," Kira said before he zoomed off toward the Archangel's direction. Cagalli gave a little smile. "That silly brother of mine..." Athrun smiled back on the viewscreen. "Tell me about it."
Archangel Bridge
Captain Ramius was totally confused. Just 10 minutes before, the Archangel and Dominion were totally blasting each other to pieces, now there was complete silence. "Try to get them to answer, Sai. I'm not sure whats going on over there." Sai broke out of his silence after hearing Fllay's call. "Alright. Archangel to Dominion, please respond." There was a good couple minutes before an answer came back. A crying Fllay answered him over the communications array. "Sai? Is that you? Thank goodness!" Sai was glad to hear her voice again after that last communication was interrupted abruptly. "What was happening over there Fllay?" "We were able to take back the ship from Azrael! He escaped but things are safe now." Fllay replied, sounding rather relieved from what Sai could tell. "Captain, Natarle and Fllay were able to chase Azrael away and take back the Dominion." Sai relayed back to Captain Ramius, who breathed a sigh of relief. "Whew...I'm glad thats dealt with...Get me Natarle on the screen." Sai then switched over to the monitor, a pale face Natarle appeared on it. "Natarle, are you ok?" Natarle smirked at the screen. "A little worse for wear, wasn't easy dealing with that monster. It's a shame we couldn't capture him, but we have the ship now, and plan to help you destory Genesis." Murrue gave a serious look back. "Thats right...we need to head over there now. All engines ahead full Ensign Newmann!" With Natarle ordering her pilot to do the same.
Providence.
"Oh Azrael...what a disappointment you were." Rau said, shaking his head. "No matter, I'll take care of this. So Fllay Allster is still on that legged ship. I warned her that she was on borrowed time. Time to collect on that free time." Rau zoomed toward the Archangel and Dominion at breakneck speed. Rau's intentions were clear, destroy both legged ships and get back to Genesis. "Just you wait Fllay Allster, you will be joining your father soon. Then I'll take care of that boy...Kira Yamato."
Whew...didn't take long to write this chapter but it was a doozy. Thought up of an officer in the shadows as Azrael's trusted contact on the ship. This Michael will have plenty of roles later on as well as Azrael. Here comes evil Rau^^ I had him overhear the communication of Fllay and Sai. He did hear her in the manga when she called an SOS. Anyway, please read and review.
