The teens exited the ride, only to meet the barrels of two cold, angry guns. Cagalli, Kira, Athrun and Dearka, being the children of important politicians, carried their own guns. Lacus refused to have one, and Mir really had no need to. Reaching for these guns, they realized they hadn▓t brought them, thinking the park would be safe. Stupid thought.
"We won't harm you if you give us what we came for." The blond man said to them. What could they have come for? None of the teens had anything of real value with them, and from the look of the high quality weapons, it didn▓t look like they were after money. "What did you come for?" Athrun asked as he, Kira and Dearka moved to shield the girls, Cagalli stood behind them, as the second lime of defence.
"That thing." The brunette woman said pointing with her gun to Kira. "He's not a thing! Kira is a Human being!" Mir yelled. The man chuckled. "It has a name. How cute, right Marrue?" Marrue nodded. "Like a pet." She laughed a cold humourless sound. "It's a shame Mu, it would make such a cute pet. Too bad we have to destroy it." Through out this exchange, the guns never lowered, and their eyes never left the teens.
"Tell us why you want Kira!" Cagalli demand, pushing past Athrun and Dearka. Marrue grinned when she seen the blond. "Hello Princess." Mu smirked. "Cagalli Yula Athha. The things 'sister' right?" Cagalli nodded and yelled, "Yes! Kira is my brother! And I won▓t let anyone take him, or call him a thing!"
"Lady Cagalli, what if I told you, Lord Uzumi wasn't your father. This thing you all defend wasn't your brother, or even human." Mu smirked. "Liar!" Cagalli shrieked. "It's all true. You were always better with stories Marrue, you tell it." Marrue nodded and began her narrative.
"20 years ago, humans made a huge technological advance. Genetically manipulated infants. At conception, a new life is formed, a mother nurtures that life, until it is taken away from her and thrown into a test tube. From there the child is altered, hair colour, eye colour, how smart, fast, strong they will be. The child is no longer how God willed them to be. They aren▓t even humans any more.
"Our organization, Blue Cosmos, seen the moral issues in this practice, watched children slowly go insane, and took action. Soon the action of co-ordinating people was out lawed, and the co-ordinators destroyed. But the last co-ordinator, escaped. It has been living among the humans undetected for 16 years. Until today." Marrue adjusted the level of her gun and grinned maliciously.
Cagalli had to admire the woman▓s arm strength and stamina, during her whole story, her arms never even shook. "What does that have to do with my father?"
"Right, you forgot that detail." Mu chided. "The head researcher of the co-ordinator project was Professor Ulen Hibiki, his wife Via was pregnant with twins. A boy and a girl." Slowly, the twins began to put together what Mu was saying. "Professor Hibiki took the male babe and enhanced him. When the law banning co-ordinating was passed, the children were proclaimed Naturals and entrusted to Uzumi Nara Athha, the Lion of Orb. And here they stand today, today one will fall.

Alright, a sad explanation chapter. Next chapter is all action. Well, yes it is. I had to think about that for a second, but it is. I'm sorry this chapter was boring, next one will be better. I hope.
Flames will be accepted, because we've killed another fishy, but nice reviews are always the best.
