This is Chapter 4... I guess I will be bringing in Lacus, Athrun, Shin and Luna. To what MS they will have, yes I do plan on Lacus having one cuz she has that skill (if you play the games on ps3 you'll know what I mean) , Athrun will have the Infinite Justice, Lacus will have the Strike Rouge, Shin will have his Destiny and Luna will have Impulse. I will explain how they got them in the chapter they enter the story, which will be sometime later. Also I might bring in the Eternal along...

I will also pair Tusk with Hilda, but I don't know how, any ideas?

So lets get on with the fourth chapter.

XXX

A few days later, Kira sat at the cafeteria with Salia, Vivian, Miranda, Coco and Ersha as they continued to watch Angelise bitch around to send her back. The past few days had been boring since there were no singularity points, but on the bright side Kira had gotten familiar with the members of squad one, more specifically the ones he was sitting with.

Salia sighed, "There she goes again." Ersha giggled, "I wonder how pissed Hilda is though."

Coco shook her head, she and Miranda had tried to get close to the former princess... keyword, tried. The former princess did not stop with her 'I-am-a-princess' shit but the two still wanted to know her. And to be honest, while most of Arzenal were indifferent about her, half of squad one disliked her, Ersha, Salia, Vivian, Coco and Miranda were the only ones who tried to interact with her.

Kira on the other hand did not say anything about her. He knew she was in denial, it was merely a phase since her life turned from being a princess to a soldier. Not many people could just accept it. He knew first hand, after all when he joined the Archangel, he had only straightened up after Mu and Marrue gave him a lecture about what he could do. All Angelise needed was a push, but how large it was, Kira would not know. But for her sake he hoped it would come soon.

During the simulation trainings, Kira had taken turns training with all three squads and was familiar with how they moved and operated. But when Angelise joined squad one, she completely disregarded orders, and they had to train in the simulators instead of real Para-mails, much to the ire of Hilda, Chris and Rosalie.

But then it could have been worse. If it was a few days before, her whining was worse than what it was know. At least Angelise learned to tone down her complaints. The funny thing was she even wrote an application letter to send her back. Zola had laughed her ass off seeing the letter.

Kira's musings were put to an end when Jill's voice boomed through the speakers, "Squad one, prepare to deploy, Kira, stay on standby."

The girls of squad one immediately went to suit up... well, Angelise had required some persuasion from Zola to follow them. Kira quickly changed and sat on the Freedom which was placed in a different hangar that was much bigger than the one for the Para-mails.

As the girls all launched, Kira took out his smartphone and scrolled through it. The Shinigami had given him the phone as a way to pass time, with the mass amount of information stored in it, Kira couldn't help but be impressed with the small rectangular box.

An hour later, Jill's voice came to the monitor, and her voice was urgent, "Kira, launch now! They've been ambushed!"

Kira wasted no time and put away his phone and announced, "Kira Yamato, Freedom, Ikimasu!"

Luckily, this time, the hangar had a launch pad which was designed by Kira who was familiar with the workings of the Archangel when he helped the mechanics out, and was built by Mei and her team.

The Freedom launched out of the hangar, which was located beside the Para-mails' hangar where there was an unused spot.

As Kira reached the area, he was met with the sight of Coco and Miranda's Para-mails falling to the sea due to Angelise trying to escape and bumping into Zola as they tumbled downwards.

Kira cursed at the former princess' stupidity and shot straight down. With the mobile suit's superior speed, he managed to catch the two blondes, but apparently due to the impact and damage from the Galleon class, Zola had bled to death.

The brunette left the blonde princess on a small island as he gripped the controls hard. The princess' stupidity had costed three lives. Kira then shot straight up to deal with the rest of the DRAGONs, which had an approximate number of 50 Scuna class, 2 Brigg class and one Galleon class.

As the Freedom approached the DRAGONs, Vivian yelled in relied, "Kira!" The others of squad one were also relieved as they knew first hand of the brunette's skill.

Kira made no reply as his SEED mode activated. Drawing his beam sabers, the Freedom passed by the two Brigg class that were giving Hilda, Chris and Rosalie trouble, slashing the two green dragons as he passed by.

This gave the three girls the chance to fire their freeze bullets and take out the DRAGONs.

Kira then stopped midair and took out his beam rifle. Using the multilock system, he targeted every Scuna class DRAGON he could and fired his whole arsenal in full burst mode. The result was absolute destruction as he wiped out most of the Scuna class, the rest left for Ersha, Vivian and Salia.

Then Kira turned to face the one remaining Galleon class as it roared at him. The Freedom's eyes glowed as Kira drew his beam saber.

The Galleon class roared once more and charged the blue Gundam. The Freedom dodged the charge easily before Kira slashed at the DRAGON's back, leaving a huge gash.

The dragon roared in pain before it blasted a huge beam of energy at the Freedom. Kira easily maneuvered around the blast before he fired the Full burst of his weapons again, this time the beams piercing the dragon in the chest as it gave a final roar before falling into the ocean.

The remaining six members of squad one looked at the Gundam in awe. This was a whole lot faster than what he did previously, he literally butchered the DRAGONs in less than ten minutes, though they did not know Kira always held back, and he would only go all out in SEED mode.

After a moment of silence, the squad picked up the remains of Zola, Coco and Miranda before picking up Angelise and returned to the base.

As soon as they dismounted their machines, Hilda immediately grabbed Angelise and flung her at a wall. She was about to do more when Jill entered the hangar and stared at her sternly, which was enough to stop her. The commander walked towards the former princess and grabbed her by the collar, "Are you satisfied? You just costed us two new recruits and one of our best pilots."

Angelise stared at the black haired woman with wide eyes, "No, I..."

Then Jill pushed the girl back on the floor. She ran a hand through her hair and sighed, popping a cigarette into her mouth as she stared at Kira who just entered the hangar, "Luckily Kira reached in time, otherwise your stupidity would have killed the whole squad."

Angelise, still stubborn as fuck, retorted, "I just wanted to go home!"

Jill's eyes narrowed and she grabbed the girl by the collar again and said harshly, " This is your home now! You are Norma!"

Angelise said in denial, "No! I am not a Norma!"

Jill sighed in frustration and let the girl fall to the ground. She looked at Jasmine and ordered, "Jasmine, bring her to wash up, after two hours bring her to the cemetery."

After saying that, she walked out of the hangar, not before giving Kira a nod of acknowledgement. Jasmine grabbed the girl and said, "Come on."

She then pulled the blonde away as the girl followed wordlessly. As soon as they left, Hilda slammed a fist on the wall. Chris and Rosalie glared at the figure of Angelise while the rest of squad one looked down sadly.

Kira shook his head and left the hangar, hoping the former princess would finally straighten up after this. He too had faced a lot of deaths, so he was somewhat used to it.

The whole crew of Arzenal held a funeral for the deaths of the three members of squad one. It rained when it started, it fitted the dark atmosphere.

After everyone left, with the exception of Kira who stared at Coco and Miranda's graves. He had become somewhat attached to the two young girls during the short time they had together. He had not interacted with Zola, Hilda, Chris or Rosalie much, but he knew Zola and Hilda were in a relationship. That also explained why Hilda reacted so violently towards Angelise, the former princess basically killed her lover.

As he stood there, he noticed Jasmine dragging Angelise towards the graves with Jill as well. Jill nodded at Kira before she started, "Angelise, you know I cannot leave this unpunished. You will plow the fields, I will have Jasmine and Kira watch over you. Am I clear?"

Angelise gave no reply. Jill grabbed her by the collar and asked again, "Am I clear?"

Angelise nodded before Jill turned to leave. The commander said, "Jasmine, Kira, I leave her to you."

Soon later, the former princess was pulling a plower through the fields. Jasmine sighed to Kira, "We lost three in a row. Sure, there were casualties once in a while, and it was always the ones who did not have enough training. But this time, Zola, Coco and Miranda, the three of them had decent training, and they died because of her stupidity."

Kira sighed in response, "We are human, we make mistakes all the time."

Jasmine laughed slightly, "Tell that to the people of the Empire. To the world, we aren't human, even the princess who is a Norma herself thinks so."

Kira frowned, "That is just prejudice. She will come to accept it sooner or later. Angelise is merely in denial. I should know, I was the same when I joined the war."

Jasmine raised an eyebrow, "Ho? Your world had a war?"

Kira nodded, "It was a war between two types of humans. One side was the Naturals, naturally born humans with no changes to their gense. The other side was the Coordinators, genetically modified humans with enhanced abilities."

Jasmine nodded, "Just like us huh? But the ones of your world only pushed to fight back."

Kira nodded, "The Coordinators believed that they were superior, the Naturals fought back. I was one of the Coordinators, but my parents were Naturals. So I joined the Naturals to fight. But throughout the war, I found out many things, and instead, I started fighting for peace, along with my friends. But that's the past now, what's important is the present and the future."

Jasmine snorted, "Tell her that." She pointed to Angelise who was almost done plowing the fields.

Then, Jill's voice rang, "So she's still at it?"

Jasmine shook her head, "She's almost done."

Jill nodded, she then looked at Angelise who finally finished her punishment and stumbled to the three of them.

The commander asked the blonde, "So, what do you think now? Still want to go back to the empire?"

Angelise glared at the woman, "Of course! I am not a Norma!"

Jill ignored her and looked at the cemetery, "You know, Coco and Miranda, they were both 12."

Angelise looked shocked and said, "Just like Sylvia. No, they were Norma, they weren't human!"

Kira clenched his fists. That was way past the line. But Jasmine placed a hand on his shoulder, he looked back and he saw her give him a look. Kira released his fists and nodded, deciding to watch on.

Jill sighed and took out a pen, "This is the officer's pen, if you are not a Norma, use it."

Angelise took it and placed her hand on it, chanting the words to use Mana. But to her shock, nothing worked. She said in denial, "I just can't use Mana for now! It will come back!"

Jill sighed and grabbed the girl, "If you go back now, you will just die."

The girl yelled, "Then just kill me!" Before they could continue, the alarm rang. It was the alarm set in case no one was at the commander's room to alert them about the singularity points.

Jill stared at the girl, "Just in time. If you really want to die, then get out there, I will give you another Para-mail. Kira, you deploy as well. With three of them gone, I assign you as a temporary member of squad one. Salia will take over as squad leader, I will tell her later."

Kira nodded before he went to suit up. Jill then dragged Angelise to the hangar. After giving Angelise an old Para-mail (coughvilkisscough), Jill approached Salia.

The woman said, "Salia, from now on, you are the leader of squad one. Kira will be joining as a temporary member. Is that okay?"

Salia looked shocked, "What? Is that okay? I don't think I can be a squad leader."

Jill shook her head, "You can do this. I know you can. Just work hard."

Salia pondered for a bit before she nodded determinedly. The new leader of squad one then mounted her customized Arquebus and prepared to launch

Soon, squad one launched into the dark sky and sped towards the singularity point.

As they flew, Ersha asked curiously, "Why is she piloting such a Para-mail?"

Hilda replied, "Who cares? As long as she gets herself killed I don't care what she pilots."

Salia sighed before she said, "They're here, prepare for battle."

As soon as she said that, Angelise immediately charged straight at the Galleon class that appeared.

Salia was surprised before she yelled, "Ange! What are you doing?! Pull back!"

The former princess did not reply but charged at the dragon. As the dragon swung its jaws down, on instinct, she turned away.

Angelise blinked as she panted, "Why? One more time."

She then charged at the dragon again and again. But each time, she swerved away from death.

As she did that, squad one was killing off dragons one by one. Kira noticed what she was doing and smiled slightly, "She wants to live, she just doesn't realize it. Angelise has something she needs to do. Maybe this was the push she needed."

Then the dragon grabbed the former princess' Para-mail. An image then flashed through Angelise's mind, the image of her late mother telling her to live, and the girl started screaming, "No! I don't want to die! I don't want to die! Okaa-sama!"

At that point, her ring glowed. And the dragon was blasted away from a burst of energy from the Para-mail.

The Para-mail turned into its Assault mode and the dust and grey parts shedded, turning into a pure white Para-mail.

In Arzenal, Jill smiled, "So she has awakened it, the Vilkiss."

Above the sea, Salia looked in shock, "The Vilkiss?! How?!"

Hilda tch'd, "So she can't die. Damn it." Rosalie and Chris shared the same sentiment.

Vivian meanwhile cheered, "Yosh! Angelise has awakened!" Ersha and Kira merely smiled.

Angelise then started to fky around and shoot at the Galleon class, using her sword to slice at the beast.

She then came down with sword and yelled, "Omae ga shine!" The sword pierced through the head of the DRAGON as she thrusted the sword down.

After that, she released the DRAGON as it fell to the ground. Soon, squad one finished off the other DRAGONS.

Later, Angelise stood in front of Zola, Coco and Miranda's graves. She took out a knife and raised it to her hair, cutting them as the hair fell to the ground.

Ange looked at the graves and swore, "Otou-sama, Okaa-sama, Coco, Miranda... from now on, I will fight, I will fight to live, for all your sakes. From now on, Angelise Ikaruga Misurugi will no longer exist, I am now Ange."

As she turned, she found herself looking at Kira. The Coordinator gave her a small smile, "This is your choice?"

Ange nodded determinedly, and he reached out his hand, "Very well, let us work together then, I am Kira Yamato, pilot of the ZGMF X10A Freedom, who are you?"

Ange looked at the hand and pondered a while. She would have ignored him and walked away, but instead she grasped it, "I am Ange, pilot of AW-CBX007 (AG) Villkiss."

The young man's smile widened. It would seem she had some hope, and she could really change. Seeing Kira smile, Ange let a small smile grace her face. And Ange thought, maybe life on Arzenal wouldn't be so bad after all.

Xxx

Done... chapter 4, and I just realized in four days I did four chapters... well, look forward to more.

And why Kira accepted Ange so easily? He knew what she was going through somewhat, so he decided to be lenient to her a bit.

I'll also try to post as much as I can. So don't be surprised if the next chapter comes in tomorrow.

Review please.
