AN: ok heres the second chapter wooot. it starts from Feldt's point of view during the reunion part. again please review it means alot thx.

They had been tracking him for days. At first nobody thought it could be possible but we all hoped that he had survived. He was their comrade, and friend. It all started a few months ago.

Flashback

Feldt Grace was sitting at her computer terminal monitoring an ALAWS research center hidden deep in the Gobi Desert. They had tapped into the facility's computer mainframe hoping to find some information on their enemies and their MS development.

She cycled through various files; none of them caught her eye. Lunch schedules, shoe orders, GN particle studies.

Then she saw an interesting file labeled Test Results. She pulled it up. The numbers made no sense. There were no labels whatsoever. It listed a unit number, a letter A-K and then another number, each one was in the hundreds.

"What you got there Feldt?" a rusty voice sounded by her ear. It was Ian.

"I'm not sure, it seems to be some kind of test results but for what is what I'm trying to figure out."

"Hmm." He said, examining the file."

Feldt flipped back to the main page to find more clues when she stumbled upon a file labeled Video Footage. She pulled it up and found video files each labeled differently.

"Let's see." She said. Feldt found security camera footage covering offices, apartments, hospitals, and then she came up to the last one. Testing Chambers.

She pulled it up and gasped. At one wall was about 10 spider like Anti-Personnel Automatons. In the middle of the large warehouse was about 100 people, in matching orange jumpsuits and…

Handcuffs? She thought. Her eyes widened as the automatons opened fire with their under mounted machine guns as the prisoners scrambled for cover.

"What the hell is that noise?" Lasse asked, startled by the gunfire.

"I'll um pull it up." Feldt said struggling to keep her voice calm. Suddenly the large screen at the front of the room displayed the massacre. The entire room fell silent save for the gunshots and the prisoners' screams of agony.

"Feldt?" Ian said, breaking the tense silence. "Bring up that chart again. "she obliged.
Ian spoke again, "That's what I thought. This chart shows the unit and the number of people they each killed."

"What? But that would mean…" her voice trailed off as she added the casualty numbers together. There were well over a thousand killed in the tests. Then, the video ended. Showing a list of names along with their crime, almost all of them were listed as Captured Anti-Government Collaborator.

Lasse gritted his teeth. "So this is how they work huh? Well there's only one thing we can do. Destroy it."

"Now hold on Lasse." Ian said quickly. "I hate this as much as everyone else but we can't just expose ourselves now, we only have 1 meister and no Sumeragi. We are in absolutely no shape to fight now."

"He's right." Tieria said standing in the door. A grin started to form on his face. "But we could always sabotage it a little."

Everyone agreed with sabotage so the next few days were filled with constant surveillance of the facility to discover the bases weaknesses and patrols. The defenses were quite formidable. 32 non GN Drive Mobile Suits constantly patrolled the base while turrets watched over the 4 corners of the walls. Infiltration seemed impossible. Then, on the third day of observation a Tieren patrolling the walls exploded. The entire base exploded in sirens and gunfire as the guards tried to find their attacker. There was a flash of purple light as a turret exploded.

Was that a particle beam? Feldt thought. Then she realized something, the base was in the desert. If the attacker was outside, the guards would have seen it long ago, meaning the attackers hiding in the shadows of the buildings and wall.

Clever, she thought, but how on Earth would he have gotten in?

5 more mobile suits were quickly destroyed along with a large warehouse. All of them were destroyed by particle beams. By now the whole crew of the Ptolemy was gathered around her small computer terminal staring in awe. 10 more were destroyed as the Tierens rolled around in panic.

Lasse was the first to voice his opinion. "Did some genius rebel get his hands on a GN-X?"

"Of course not" Mileina dismissed, "Can't you see that the GN particles are purple, not red?" Lasse seemed rather upset that he was outsmarted by a girl.

Typical, Feldt thought.

For the next 10 minutes the crew watched in confusion, seeing no clues as to who the attacker was except a GN drive. But then, a Tieren was sliced open and Feldt got a glimpse of the blade.

"Wait!" she stopped the video showing a decimated Tieren lying on the ground.

"What is it Feldt?" Mileina asked cheerfully.

"Just watch." she rewinded slowly to the point where the blade was about halfway through the body of the Tieren. The blade was silver in the middle and transparent green on the outside. It was the Exia's blade.

"But, but that's from the Exia!" Ian exclaimed.

"Could Setsuna have survived?" Lasse asked his voice full of surprise.

"What other explanation could there be?" Ian said.

After that day, they tirelessly tracked his movements. He sabotaged ALAWS facilities and stole information but they were never able to get to him in person or even with a message. Then, they finally found an opportunity. The rebel forces Katharon, was planning a prisoner rescue from Colony Proud. Of course the ALAWS found out and took up positions for an ambush. And where the ALAWS went, they knew he would go too. They were right. Now, Setsuna F. Seiei, the raven haired Gundam Meister of Celestial Being was being taken back to the Ptolemy by Tieria.

It'll be good to see him. Then her stomach growled. Loudly, she hadn't eaten all day she realized. Mileina decided to rest up before the battle so she had been working nonstop since the morning.

"Lasse, I'm gonna grab a bite to eat." She said as she glided towards the door."

"Got it, but don't take too long," he called as she floated down the hall.

She found her way to the lunch room quickly and found a bunch of burgers sitting in the heating containers. She picked one out and began devouring the massive meal.

She enjoyed it. It wasn't often that they had historic foods on the menu and it was delicious too. Satisfied that her stomach had stopped its complaining, she bounced off the walls, heading back to the bridge.

Feldt was rather excited to see Setsuna again. It would be nice to see an old friend. He never talked much she remembered. And he was very attached to his Gundam. He caused a lot of trouble too. Jeopardizing missions and putting the secrets of Celestial Being at stake. She smiled a little, despite many lectures, getting beaten slightly by Tieria, and even having a gun pointed at him by Lockon, the young meister never seemed to care. He just looked on dully. At times this was sort of funny, at times she feared for his life for showing such an attitude.

Then she heard a deep voice say her name.

"And what about Feldt?" she saw the familiar, messy hair of Setsuna F. Seiei.

"I'm right here." She said, hoping to surprise him. He spun around quickly. Clearly she had succeeded.

"Feldt Grace." He said.

"Setsuna F. Seiei." She replied, rather amused.

Does he greet everyone by their full name?

"You're hair is different." He stated.

"Oh yeah, I decided it was time for a change."

Hmph right, like the deaths of Lockon, Chris, Lichte, and Mr. Moreno wasn't change enough. She thought bitterly.

"Yeah well uh i-it looks nice." He said. She looked down and felt her cheeks flush.

Whoa did he just stutter? And compliment me? Surreal.

"Thanks Setsuna."

She shifted her gaze back up and this time he actually got a really good look at him.

Wow. He's changed a lot. He's taller, by a lot now. And wow he's really hot. Wait WHAT! Did I just say that?

At this point Feldt pretty much tuned out the conversation going on around her. She was mostly arguing with herself for even thinking that. But she did hear Setsuna saying that he was planning on getting Ms. Sumeragi to come back but beyond that, everything else was pretty much blocked out by her brain.

Setsuna's POV

It was the next day, and Setsunawas on a train heading down to Earth. He sat there, in is private room reading the news on his mini-holo screen. (AN: I have no idea what they're called. To me they're like remotes that project a screen.)

The intercom came on: We have reached the destination please exit the train in an orderly fashion, thank you.

Now for a four hour flight to America he thought grudgingly. The plane ride was… boring. Nothing to do at all but stare blankly at his holo screen. He checked the time for the 5th time that day.

Really? Only one hour has passed? This flight is taking forever.

In his boredom, his mind started to wander. He thought about everyone at Celestial Being. The lost ones: Christina Sierra, Lichtendal Tsery, Mr. Moreno, Lockon Stratos.

Lockon. He was like a brother to him. His death was terrible. But he pushed it to the back of his mind; he didn't like to remember the events of that battle.

His mind wandered again and a single name popped into his mind.

Feldt

Why did he keep thinking about her? Well his own thoughts during their reunion sort of troubled him to say the least. Ok so he was completely confused about why he acted like that. Well he didn't really show much emotion. He was good at that. But he had complimented her on her hair. That was odd. He never really gave compliments to people. He was always just sort of neutral except when it came to something that was considered incredibly important to him, basically Celestial Being. As if compliments weren't enough, he actually stuttered while talking to her. That was basically a huge first for the raven haired meister. It was a huge mystery. For regular people the answer wouldn't have been hard at all to discover. But Setsuna was way too brainwashed. He decided to push that to the back of his mind as well. For the next 3 hours, Setsuna watched some stupid movie being projected on a screen. It sucked.

He finally got off the plane in Washington DC. He made his way towards the MS development lab. A few blocks down was a huge apartment complex where Sumeragi Li Noriega was living with some old friend.

How am I supposed to convince her to come back?

It seemed impossible to him. he went through many scenarios in his head. A straightforward talk seemed to be the stupidest plan of them all. Kidnapping wasn't an option. He knew from experience how hard that woman could hit. What about exposing her identity? That would force her out into the open and she'd have no choice to come back. He wished there was a better way to have her come back by her own choice but this seemed to b e the only option.

He stood in front of the door at apartment number 3C and rang the doorbell. It opened slowly, and in the doorway Ms. Sumeragi was standing behind some kind of super nerd guy with really long hair.

"Sumeragi Li Noriega." He said.

"What are you talking about?" the nerd replied, "Her name is Lessa-"

"Codename: Sumeragi Li Noriega," he interrupted, "tactical forecaster for Celestial Being."

He heard the nerd guy gasp loudly and his eyes grew wide. Ms. Sumeragi stared at the ground.

"Now you have nowhere to hide." With that he grabbed her arm and dragged her out of the building.

"Was that really necessary?" she demanded. "He probably hates me now."

"Sorry, it was the only way." He replied simply. "How else would we get you to come back to us."

They checked into a hotel a few blocks down the street. "Wait here, I'll be back by tomorrow."

"Where are you going?" she questioned.

"I need to take care of some business."

As soon as he was outside he flipped out his phone. "Is this Lyle Dylandy? Good, meet me over by the cemetery. It's very important." (AN: yes I know that he probably wasn't in America, I didn't want to write a whole other part of like flying. Also yes I know he got Lyle first. Not anymore.)

The walk to the cemetery was short, Setsuna had planned things out perfectly. When he arrived, he was surprised to see that Lyle Dylandy was an exact copy of his brother.

Identical twins. He guessed.

"Come with me."

They walked over to a place where no one else would really be listening.

"You're a member of Katharon aren't you?" Setsuna asked.

"What are you going to arrest me?" he accused.

"No, I'm here to ask you to join Celestial Being." This seemed to catch Lyle off guard. He just sort of stared at Setsuna.

"Why me?" he finally asked.

"Because, Neil Dylandy was a Gundam Meister."

"Was?"

"It was in a battle four years ago." The talk went on for a few more minutes but already Setsuna could tell that he was ready to join. If nothing else it was for his brother, and for an opportunity to take down the Federation.

The next day he dragged Ms. Sumeragi down to the orbital elevator after yet another four hour flight with her complaining and arguing the whole way.

"Come on Setsuna, just go on without me, besides Celestial Being is doomed. We only have two meisters now. There's now way-"

"There's a new meister on the way."

"A new meister?" she froze in shock as she saw him. "L-LOCKON you were alive!"

The newcomer just chuckled. "Wow, do I really resemble my brother that much?"

"Brother?"

"Allow me to introduce." Setsuna said. "This is Lyle Dylandy."

"No, I'm Lockon Stratos, Gundam Meister of Celestial Being."

AN: ok thats pretty much it hope liked it ill try to update soon yay.
