Actually, I just finish my first day of Final. So if the story has grammar mistakes and seems weird. I'm sorry.

Anyway, please enjoy.


"You want us to launch into space? But we still can fight." Murrue said.

"I'm pretty sure that you realize by now that it's only a matter of time before Orb will be completely destroyed." Uzumi said. "Everyone has evacuated, we'll take over from here. Still I want you to remember two things that mustn't be lose. The master mind behind the Earth Forces is the leader of Blue cosmos, Muruta Azrael. In addition, the Plants are now controlled by Patrick Zala."

Dearka and Kira glanced at Athrun.

"At this rate the world will be caught between the fight of these two forces, is that the future that you accept? If you see envision an alternative. Then take this light of hope that everyone has lit and guide us to a new future." Uzumi said.

"We understand, Lord Uzumi. We believe that this small light of hope will never fade away." Murrue said. Uzumi told them to get ready before the Earth Forces attack again.

Uzumi put his hand on Cagali's head and looks toward Kira, his eyes looks like it were filled with sadness yet it was gentle, kind and worry.

Kusanagi began assembling every part that was separated when it went into the factory, then the M1s begin loading into Kusanagi.

Then one of the Orb's council began informing how to launch Archangel into the space.

When they heard a warning sound that Earth Forces has send out its mobile suit, Uzumi told Murrue to hurry up. Kira and Athrun volunteered to help give them more time for the Kusanagi while the Archangel will launch out ahead.

Cagali tried to get Uzumi to go with her but Uzumi insists that he will stay here and dragged Cagali to the Kusanagi. Uzumi gave a picture to Cagali and said. "Even if you're parting with your father, but you're not alone…you still have a brother."

Cagali flipped the picture to see names in handwriting "Kira & Cagali"

Uzumi nodded and told Kisaka to take his daughter away and protect her. Kisaka nodded, then the Kusanagi door closed and Uzumi went back to the control room.

After the Archangel successfully launched out into space, Kira and Athrun stalled the three mobile suits long enough for Kusanagi to launch.

They flied to the Kusanagi and tried to get on it. When the Freedom was able to grab on one of Kusanagi part, it stretch out its hand and help the Justice to grab on Kusanagi too.

Soon Kusanagi launches away from Orb and Orb becomes smaller every second Cagali sees. When the explosion was saw and Orb was engulfed in flame, Cagali broke down and cried as she sees Orb perishes along with her father. After Kusanagi has successfully launched into the space. It began assembling into Izumo spaceship class.

Its design was nearly the same as Archangel, in truth, to be more precise. It was Archangel that used The Kusanagi's blueprint in the first place.

Everyone go gathers at the Kusanagi's bridge.

"What should we do next?" Murrue asked Kisaka over the monitor. Kisaka told Erica to open the space map, and the two warships share it together.

They've search for a place they can used as a base but they've no luck so far. When all hopes are look like to be lose, Athrun said out "At the L4 colony, there are still many facilities that are still able to operate. Although it isn't officially, Zaft has sent a scout unit to it and has seen no life sign on the colony so far. I think it should be okay to set up a base there."

Although everyone seems fine with Athrun's advice but Mu isn't.

"Are you really sure, you're okay with this? Even though your actions speak for you. But I can't look over about your uniform. Besides...you're Patrick Zala's son right?" Athrun clasped his hand; he knew it well about what Mu just said.

"It doesn't matter if you're someone son! As only as you-"

"Betraying one's country is a terrible crime! Not to say that your father is the leader of the nation." Mu cut Cagali off and she gritted her teeth. Even if she wanted to protect Athrun, she can't do it because she understands what Mu has said.

"I will get straight to the point. Will we be able to rely on you as a strong ally? So answer me." Mu said.

"After what I have seen up until this point…I don't know now what is right or wrong, but I believe that the world I hope for is the same one that you hope for. This is what I feel right now." Athrun said.

"The responsibility that Orb has entrusted to use isn't that lightly, still with only two ships, it's really difficult isn't it?" Murrue smiled and nodded.

"There is another person in Plant who has the same belief as you." Athrun looked sad after he said that sentence.

"Lacus? Athrun! Is she…safe? You said that you met Lacus right?" Kira looks very worry about Lacus that much that made everyone surprises. "Athrun…?"

"She is being…chased and hunts down as traitor…by my father's order." Kira looked sad after he heard the word.

"Umm…Kira…can I have a word with you?" Kira nodded in agreement. "…Athrun…would you mind coming with us?" Athrun shook his head then the three left the bridge. Kisaka looked at Cagali and knew what she wants to say with the boy but he didn't stop her.

Cagali took them to her room, after she gathers her courage. Cagali held out the picture that Uzumi gave her.

"A twin baby? Who are they?" Kira takes the picture from her hand to see it closer.

"The other side…" After the boys flipped the picture, Athrun was surprised and Kira was shocked.

"My Father gave this to me and said that I wouldn't be alone…I still have a brother...if I and you are siblings then what…does…that make me?" Cagali's hand held Athrun's arm tightly as she was about to cry.

"Thinking about it right now won't solve anything, besides even if this is true but your father is still Lord Uzumi." Kira smiled trying to cheer the girl up.

"Kira…" a bit of tear flew out from Cagali's eyes.

"Athrun…let's go back to the Archangel…Kusanagi is getting its storage full just by M1. Cagali stays strong okay?" Cagali nodded and the boys leave the Kusanagi in theirs mobile suits.

"Kira…do you think every will mind? If I…go back to plant…I want to talk with my father. I can't let this keep on forever, it's been troubling my mind since the last time I met Lacus." Athrun said.

Kira looked towards the Freedom's side monitor. "Athrun…" Kira thought. "Okay…then, I'll talk with everyone for you…but on one condition. I'll come with you." Kira said.

"No, you can't! Besides you're in EA uniform, if you come with me, you'll surely get kill!" Athrun shouted.

"Don't worry; I have Zaft Uniform that I got from Lacus. So I guess there's no problem left right? I'll pilot the Freedom too." Each time Kira said made Athrun want to refuse his request even more, first he's going in Zaft Uniform and now he'll pilot the Freedom to Jachin Due.

"No, you mustn't! There's no guarantee that we-I will be able to get from that place. If you are to bring the Freedom to Jachin Due then surely my father won't let these two mobile suits slipped out of his hands again!"

Athrun tried to reason with Kira but Kira didn't listen. Kira still insists that he will go with Athrun into Jachin Due.

"Why did you want to go to Jachin anyway!? Tell me the reason that I should bring you along!" Athrun shouted.

"It's nothing that concerns you" Kira's face become serious and looks very scary like if he didn't achieve his objective, he will die trying to complete it. "If you want to know…then bring me along…I'll…tell you on the way." Was the last sentence that Athrun heard before Kira left the Freedom into the locker room.

Athrun went after Kira into the locker room. "Hey, Kira, please reconsider going to the Jachin Due. You won't make it out of there alive." Athrun warned his best friend.

"Even so…I have to go to Jachin Due even if it cost me my own life." Athrun saw a glimpse of tears flow out from Kira.

"Hey, Kira…you…"

"It's nothing, let's go" Kira went out of the room before he even finish saying.

"Then, we will be right back. Miss Murrue." Said Kira in the Freedom.

"Okay, be careful okay? We don't want to lose you again, neither of you." The boys nodded before they left to Jachin Due in theirs mobile suits.

"Kira, care to tell me now why did you need to come to Jachin Due that much?" Kira was silenced at first before he begins to speak.

"Before…before we left Orb…I got a message that was sent to the Freedom directly…it said that if you concern for Lacus Clyne…then come to Jachin Due…alone…"

"Why didn't you tell me this earlier! And why you didn't tell the other, they might be able to help. And do you really believe that Lacus will be capture? If she really did, my father would make a statement that Lacus have been captured right away." The Justice stopped the Freedom from advancing any further.

"Don't stop me Athrun, or I will force my way through!" The Freedom prepared its beam sabers.

"Hey, take it easy Kira! I won't stop you now that we come this far…" The Freedom lowered its hand from the beam sabers.

"Jachin Due, This is Athrun Zala, Justice. I've completed my mission and requesting permission to land." The boys looked at each other and nodded

"Okay, you're clear to go in. Please go through the hangar E and leave your mobile suits there." The operator said.

After the boys left theirs suit, they changed into uniform and they were ordered to see Patrick immediately.

"May I ask who is that pilot? Athrun Zala." One of the elite soldiers asked.

"He is acquaintance of mine, don't worry." Then the soldiers let them pass and go into the Chairman's room.

"Athrun, good job for bringing the Freedom back." Patrick told the guards and everyone to go out but when Kira was about to leave the room Patrick stops him and tell him to stay in the room.

"Athrun, who is this boy? I don't remember his face." Patrick demanded the identification of the boy besides Athrun.

"This is Kira, Kira Yamato. He was the friend when I was studying on the moon remember, father? The one that you like to ask how is he doing, skilled, or even if he was greater than others coordinator. This is him. Kira, this is my father." Kira saluted to Athrun's Father.

Patrick grinned but when he is about to say, Athrun took the first hand and ask first.

"Father…do you really think that you can use force end this war?"

"Of course, when all of the naturals have been exterminated. Everything will end." The boys clenched their hands after they heard what happened.

"Will you help me exterminate the Natural? Kira." Patrick stood from his chair and walked up to Kira, grabbing his shoulder.

"Why are you asking me personally?" Kira said.

"Because…you're special…you're the most superior coordinator by far." Patrick grinned.

"What did you mean!? I'm just a normal coor-"

"I asked you whether you will help me or not!? Stop asking and answer me!" Patrick's began to grasp Kira tighter when the boy didn't answer his question.

"I will not help you…I will not pilot the Freedom to kill people."

"I see…I wish it didn't come to this. Bring her in." Patrick said and a few seconds later, a pink haired girl was brought in along with a several group of soldiers.

"Father, what are you doing!?" Athrun shouted.

"Now choose, boy! Whether you will help me or you will let this girl die?" One of the soldiers pointed his gun towards Lacus.

"Kira, don't. Don't worry about me but you can't use the Freedom to be a killing machine!" Lacus shouted.

Kira gritted his teeth as he is thinking over in his head.

"Will you promise that she will be safe? If I…help you."

"Kira, no!" Lacus protested as her lover said out the deal.

"Of course, I will ensure her safety…as long as you follow my order, that is." Athrun slowly walked up to the guard and then Athrun kicked them out.

"Athrun, what are you doing!?" After Patrick said, Kira went to help Lacus. Patrick ordered the guards to kill Lacus. Athrun took the gun from one of the unconscious guard and use it to take out guard's gun. But he misses one of them.

That guard fired his gun towards Lacus.

Lacus screamed when she saw Kira took the bullet for her; Lacus called out to Kira and hugs him. She saw her hands filled with Kira's blood. "Kira!" Lacus called out.

"Lacus…you didn't get hurt…right?" Kira coughed in blood.

"No…I'm all right…please don't leave me…" Tears from Lacus's eyes fell on Kira's cheeks.

"Don't worry…I'll…stay by your side…" Kira's eye glittered.

"Don't kill them, I need these two later. Treat him, don't let him die." Kira and Lacus were taken away separately.

"Father, why did you-"

"I suppose I can't blame you because you don't know the whole story. Patrick opened the video that got from the surveillance camera when Freedom is about to be steal. It shown Kira and Lacus face clearly and makes Athrun surprised. His father knew it all along and yet he didn't tell him.

Athrun cursed himself, because of him. Kira was to be used as a killer. If he didn't tell his father that Kira was his friend on the moon, whom his father like to ask about. This wouldn't happen, but when Athrun think again. Its maybe better that the result came out this way or else Kira would've get killed because of stealing Freedom.

"Athrun, this is your new order. Keep on eyes on that friend of yours and don't ever leave him out of sight. Tell him that if he didn't do as he was ordered. Lacus Clyne will die." Athrun gritted his teeth but he knows that if he protests right now, the chance to help both Kira and Lacus will be lessen. Athrun accepted the missions and left the room.

Kira was speechless when he was taken away, all he could feel right now is the pain of the bullet that was dig into his back. He didn't even have the strength to cry. When he feels that everything around him was going hazy. Then he saw a white door opened and he was lain down on a white bed. Then he faint.

Kira's POV

I opened my eyes; I see researchers, doctors and nurses around myself. I feel much better when I don't feel the bullets inside my back anymore, but I don't like the situation right now. It's like they're researching, gathering data from me. Why would they do that? I'm just a normal coordinator after all.

When everyone left the room, they turned off the lights, leaving me alone in the dark. I can't stop myself to worry about Lacus and everyone. Every second that I'm staying right here, they can be attacked anytime. I hope that at least Athrun made his way back to them.

"What should I do?" I asked myself. The choice I have right now is to cooperate with Athrun's father as much as possible, if I want to save Lacus.

"Move on to the last stage" I heard someone said that but not so long after I heard that voice. I feel like they've injected something into me…something that made…me feel…so sleepy.

When I opened my eyes again, I feel like something was attached to my neck. When I touch it, it zaps my finger.

"You'll have to work for me, if you don't want to get hurt." A cold voice whispers into my ear.

"What about Lacus…?" I asked because I know that the one who whisper to me was Athrun's father.

"She is safe, I keep my promise. She is staying in the Eternal, a new spaceship that you will be assigned to. But if you were to do something funny, you know what would happen."

I saw a soldier ran up to him and tell him something. Something that made him angry, he clenched his hand and suddenly he leaves me alone. I wonder what was that about.

I gather my strength and try to get up from the bed. I wonder how many days have passed since I was brought here. I see bandages on both of my arms…I wonder what've they done to me.

When I try to stand up, I can barely stand on my feet. It seems they drugged me somehow. I walked out of the room; I won't stay in this room forever. But ironic isn't it? When I was able to get out of the room, here comes my first mission.

Athrun's father wants me to go recapture Eternal…and Justice, if they aren't possible to recapture then destroy it.

I began to wonder in my heart, he said Lacus was on the Eternal and now the Eternal has left from Plant. Then I should take this chance to escape since he can't threaten me anymore.

After I changed into pilot suit, deep down inside me, I'm really happy that I'm going to meet Lacus again. I launch Freedom into the space. Then fly towards the Eternal's direction, towards Mendel Colony.

I saw Justice, fending off Zaft Mobile Suits. Even how much I want to help him, I cannot. I don't have solid proof that Lacus was on the Eternal. I fired Freedom's armaments toward Justice and Athrun blocks it with ease.

"Kira! Stop this. You don't have to fight anymore, Lacus is safe." Athrun's words made me feel relieved. I locked on every Ginns on the battlefield and took it down, disabling it.

"Lacus!" I called out to her when I connect to the Eternal. The monitor shows her face that made me feel very happy.

"So you're safe? Youngsters." That voice made me surprise. It was Mr. Waldfeld. He really survived back then.

When I thought this is a very wonderful reunion, I felt something begins to zap around at my neck. It was that collar…

End of Kira's POV.

"Kira!" Both Lacus and Athrun called out to him. Kira is screaming in pain as the collar that wrapped around his neck is continuing to zap him.

Suddenly, the Freedom rapidly fired it beam rifle to Eternal. Luckily Athrun was able to deflect all of them.

"Kira! What the hell are you doing!?" Athrun shouted and used his shield to tackle into Freedom. But there is no response from Kira. The Freedom continued to fight against Justice outside the Mendel colony.

Suddenly, The Freedom began to stop shooting. "Athrun…Lacus…please destroy the Freedom…before…I…will…" Tears were flowing from Kira's eyes as the Freedom began firing its beam rifle again.

"Kira!?" Lacus's face shown that she was very worry about what happened to Kira, she called out his name but he response by firing Freedom rail gun and plasma beam.

It hit the Eternal this time. Justice fired its beam rifle, destroying the Freedom's right arm. Justice releases it backpack, crashing into the Freedom torso. After knocking the Freedom off course, Justice uses its beam boomerangs to cut the Freedom's left arm and legs.

"Kira!" Athrun shouted and flies his Justice towards Freedom and catches it. The Freedom's movement has completely stopped because Kira's lost his consciousness.

Justice took the Freedom back into the Eternal, after it safely reach inside Eternal. Eternal landed besides the Archangel and Kusanagi in Colony Mendel.

Athrun took Kira out and let him rest in the pilot room for a while, and then Lacus comes in.

After Athrun saw Kira's sweating, he took off Kira's pilot suit.

"Kira!" Athrun shook the boy.

"What is that thing…?" Lacus said out.

"What is it Lacus?" Athrun asked.

"What's on Kira's neck?" Athrun tried to check up about the electronic equipment on Kira's neck but when he touches it, it sparks up and Athrun quickly back away his hands.

"I think…we should avoid touching that thing." Lacus nodded. "Lacus…take him to rest. I'll go tell everyone and ask them whether they know about this device or not." Athrun left the room afterward leaving the couple alone.

"Kira…what happened to you…" Lacus hugged Kira and cries. Lacus blamed herself, because if she wasn't too careless, if she didn't get captured. Then all of this wouldn't happen.
