Chapter One: Life Moves On

"It's been six months Chairman Zala," spoke a member of the council, "Several members of the board believe that it's time to stop searching for Dearak Elsman,"

It had been the same thing every meeting. He would submit the idea of looking for Dearka with Yzak offering to lead a search party, and the council would deny them. Athrun always thought that being Chairman let you do what ever you wanted done, sadly he didn't realize a vote was needed for anything and everything that he tried.

"I'm sorry Yzak, the Council voted against the idea again," Athrun spoke to his friend.

"This is pathetic," Yzak grumbled, "In the time spent trying to get this mission passed I probably could of found him already,"

"It's not like I doubt your talent Yzak it's just that the Council doesn't see the point in searching for an everyday soldier,"

"But if it was one of their sons or daughters MIA, they'd ask for a small army to look for them," Yzak replied.

The two had now arrived at Athrun's office. It was here that the two usually went there separate ways. That is until Athrun asked Yzak a question he was dreading.

"Do you think we should just stop trying?"

"No, besides what would we tell her?"

"We'd tell her the truth, that we'll probably never find him again,"

"If we do you're doing it, she for some reason hates me,"

"I'm no better for the job, not only does she probably hold a small grudge against me for killing her first boyfriend, but also for siding with ZAFT during this last war,"

"She's aloud her opinion but even she can't say that you're an evil person for following your belief,"

"Maybe, besides she lives in ORB," Athrun calmly said silently.

ORB was still a hard topic for Athrun to talk about. After the war Athrun decided not to go to ORB and talk with Cagalli. Yzak had always figured it was because she was better off just ruling her country and marrying some rich ORB royal brat.

"Yzak?" Athrun questioned.

"Yes,"

"Why does she hate you?"

"It was me who sent him on that scouting mission, she believes that if I did my own work he would still be here," Yzak answered as if he was asked this same question everyday, "Now if you don't mind Chairman Zala, I must report back to the academy and check on the recruits," With that Yzak saluted and left.

Athrun remained outside the door that leads to his office. He always had questioned his belief on why he would ever think of becoming Chairman like his father and not a Commander like Yzak. He would never understand why he did. He walked into his office and remembered that there were no windows to gaze out at while he worked, he had no pictures of a girlfriend or wife and children on his desk, he was trapped in a job he could never remember wanting.

Meanwhile with Yzak…

"How was the meeting?" Questioned Shiho Hahnenfuss.

"As good as it always is," Yzak remarked.

"So no go again uh?" Shiho asked.

"No and it drives me up a wall that I can't do anything,"

"You could always pack up and head out on your own,"

"I would but the council would have my ass if it was a success or not," Yzak replied.

"So now what do we do?"

"Easy, keep waiting to get it approved," Yzak replied with a small unnoticeable smile, "Until then we head to the academy and see how things are going there," he then started to walk down the hall towards the car that was waiting for them.

All Shiho could do as she watched the man walk away was look away from his back and hope he would return to his bitchy normal self.

On Earth with Kira and Lacus…

"Any word from Cagalli yet?" Lacus questioned.

"No she's still busy trying to rebuild ORB," Kira answered sadly.

"Maybe when she's done Athrun will return and they can be together," Lacus said with a sad smile.

Kira looked towards the beach where Murrue and Mwu were walking and laughing together. "In a small way I think it's better if Athrun stayed in the PLANTS,"

"Why's that Kira?"

"He might be able to keep the PLANTS from waging war," Kira replied solemnly.

"Maybe," Lacus replied as he leaned into Kira's arms.

"Everything will be fine," Kira spoke confidently, "You'll see no more wars,"

"I hope your right," Lacus spoke as she looked up at the stars.

Not everyone at is happy with the wars outcome. Though with peace finally achieved one would think they could live a better life and rebuild from what they lost. Sadly not all think this way. One in particular has felt that wars have dealt her a hard life. Has taken everything and left nothing.

'First Tolle,' Miriallia thought, 'Now my Dearka, I didn't even get to see him one last time,'

Miriallia Haww had been leading a hard six months after the war. She would have been completely oblivious if Yzak and Athrun hadn't told her Dearka was MIA. Something Miriallia knew from serving in the first war that Dearka was as good as dead. It was then that her doorbell rang.

"Who could that be?" Miriallia questioned her self.

When she opened the door her heart stopped. "Tolle?" She spoke meekly. Behind the door was Tolle Koenig. Miriallia's first boyfriend.

At an unknown location…

A tall figure walked town the hall of an almost never-ending corridor. The hall was lined with cells all empty save one. In this lone cell stood a man chained to a wall. He had obviously been beaten and looked very weak. The tall figure glared at the guards who in fear of his unnatural powers.

The figure had then approached the man and spoke, "Mr. Elsman, we meet at last,"

TBC…

Again sorry for being so short but this is still a sort of introduction to things in the next chapter. Now also I was asked in a review what MSV stood for, now since I can't directly answer this person I'll post the meaning here so that anyone in the future who doesn't understand can look here.

MSV stand for Mobile Suit Variation, in short this means anything form the Astray manga's are MSV. MSV's can usually be custom MS's used by superior pilots, example could be Miguel Aiman and his Custom Orange GINN. If you've heard of a MS called Buster Dagger or 105 Dagger these are MSV.

A could resource to understand this go to w w w . m a h q . n e t just remove the spaces.
