Gundam SEED: Another War
Chapter 4

Erica's eyes slowly opened and saw the white ceiling of a place she didn't know.

" Huh?" she said and slowly sat up, her head pounded as she was hearing the hum of the ship.

She looked around confused and saw that she wasn't back where she was. She then noticed she didn't have her jacket on.

" Where... am I?" Erica asked worried and looked around again," I've been kidnapped!"

Erica quickly got out of bed and found her self floating in the air.

" AH!" Erica screamed and then grabbed back on to the bed pole at the end of the bed," WHERE AM I!"

She looked out the window and saw darkness and small twinkling lights.

" Am I..." she started and heard the door open to the infirmary.

Commander McGuire floated down the white hallways and towards the infirmary.

" Commander McGuire," someone called her again.

She stopped and turned around to see another soldier under her command.

" Ensign Haww, where were you when we were in ORB?" Commander McGuire asked curiously.

Ensign Haww had light dirt blond hair and bluish-green eyes, he wore the same uniform as Jin and his other teammates.

" I'm sorry commander," he saluted to her," but the captain asked me to stay behind and help one of his technicians with something."

Commander McGuire looked at him.

" I see," she nodded slowly," so what is it that you need Ensign?"

" Well, I heard Ensign Asuka brought a civilian a board," Ensign Haww said," is that true ma'am?"

" Apparently so Ensign, I'm on my way to see the civilian right now," Commander Ensign replied.

" May I come with you?" Ensign Haww asked.

Commander McGuire nodded.

They floated down towards the infirmary and the door slid open as Commander McGuire slid down the card.

Erica turned around and saw them.

" Who... who are you?" she asked nervously.

" You're awake," Commander McGuire said happily and saw her hanging on to the bed post," are you alright miss."

Erica looked at them and then her eyes grew big.

" YOU'RE WITH ZAFT!" she cried," I wanna go home! I'm gonna tell my father on you and he'd make sure you guys fired for kidnapping me!"

" And who is your father?" Ensign Haww asked.

" His name is..." Erica looked at the floor," Athrun Zala-Clyne."

" Then you're his daughter, right? Erica Clyne was it?" Commander McGuire asked," so I was right when I saw you, I don't think Ex-Head Representative Zala would fire us."

Erica looked at them.

" What do you mean Ex?" she asked confused.

" You father resigned from being leader of the PLANTs," Ensign Haww replied.

Erica looked at the floor again.

" So that's what he wanted to tell me," she whispered to her self.

" Well I'm glad you're alright Miss. Clyne," Commander McGuire smiled.

Erica looked at them, with tears in her eyes.

" Where am I?" she asked upset.

Commander McGuire came in and sat on the bed beside Erica who was still hanging on to the bed post.

" We're currently in Space, orbiting the Earth," she replied.

" So... is that why we're floating?" Erica asked.

Ensighn Haww and Commander McGuire nodded.

" Who are you guys? How did I get aboard this ship?" Erica asked more questions.

" My names is Commander Alison McGuire, you can call me Alison since you're not under my command," Alison said

" And I'm Ensign Mick Haww," Mick said also.

Erica looked at Mick, she knew the lastname 'Haww' but couldn't quite remember.

" One of my soldiers brought you aboard this ship, known as the Dakovrah, so see if you were alright," Alison said.

" Who?" Erica asked.

" His name is Ensign Jin Asuka, he said that he saved you from a building collapsing due to a gas pipeline exploding?" Alison explained tilting her head abit unsurely.

Erica thought for a second.

Flashback –

Erica ran and ran while still crying, ignoring everything around her.

Erica heard the explosion and stopped as she saw the building down towards her. She screamed in fear.

Erica fell to her knees, praying for help and then after a few seconds she looked up and a big metal hand, holding the fallen building above her.

" Huh...?" she said confused and then looked a bit to her left and a red and blue mobile suit on one knee," why?"

" Get out of here you stupid natural!?" she heard the person from in side it.

Erica blinked and then got really dizzy and fainted.

– End Flashback

" So that was him," she said and looked at them confused," why did he call me a natural?"

The doctor came and saw them talking.

" Oh so you're awake miss," he said.

" Yes doctor, we were just getting to know Miss. Erica Clyne," Alison said.

" Oh so you're the daughter of Ex-Head Representative Zala," the doctor said and looked at the chart in his hand and wrote down her name," it just seems that you were very tired and fainted from the heat of the fire."

Erica looked at the floor.

" I'm sorry to be a bother to all of you," she said and looked at Alison," where's my jacket?"

The doctor picked up Erica's jacket from the chair in front of the computer consol and handed it to her.

Erica let go of the bed post and floated where she was, she quickly got on her jacket and put her hands on her knees.

" Commander McGuire, you might want to see this," they heard the captain from the screen beside the bed.

Alison hit the button and the screen went to the Head Repensentative of ORB.

" Aunt Cagalli!" Erica said surprised, seeing her aunt on screen.

Back at ORB, when everybody was preoccupied with Athrun and Lacus, Reese slowly went towards the front door and then left with out anybody noticing.

" I've gotta find Erica," he said and ran off towards his school.

As he got to his school, he walked towards the park, then towards the jungle gym.

He climbed into the half circular jungle gym and walked towards the middle.

" Well she was here," he said, kneeling to one knee and felt the ground and looked around to see where she went.

Stood up and walked off.

" How could I do this to her?" he thought walking," she's family, family don't treat each other like this."

He looked at the ground and saw Erica's footstep go in to another direction. Reese eyes grew big.

" She went towards where the explosion happened," he said," that idiot, she doesn't realize what she's gotten her self into."

He quickly ran off towards where he saw the bright red lights dying down.

He ran and ran until he found something sparkly, near a collapsed building.

" Her earring," Reese said, picking up the silver hoop.

He looked around and then from the corner of his eye, he saw a stream of light.

" Oh no!" he thought," Erica!"

" I've got to tell mother and father," he said and then quickly ran back to his uncle's place.

There was a knock at the door and Kira opened it.

" Where's Mr. Zala!?" a person said frantically.

Athrun walked up to the door as he heard his name.

" What is it?" he asked.

The person quickly shoved Kira aside and grabbed Athrun's hand.

" Oh Mr. Zala! Your daughter! I have bad news!" they said.

Everybody looked at the door.

" What is it?" Athrun asked.

" Your daughter sir, she's been..." the person started.

" What about my daughter? Is she alright?" Lacus asked worried as she came down the stairs.

The person looked at the ground and sighed.

" She's been kidnapped the terrorists!" the person said.

Everybody gasped.

Reese got back to the house and saw the door open.

" Father!" he yelled to his father and saw everyone's face," what's wrong?"

" Reese, you're cousin has been kinapped by ZAFT," Yzak replied.

" Oh, Reese replied," well that's why I came back here, to tell you that Erica's been kidnapped."

Athrun looked at him.

" Why do you care? You hurt her and scared and now you're sounding like you care," he said.

Reese looked at the floor.

" I've now realized what I've done to her and what she's done to herself because of me," he replied.

" Damnt the ZAFT forces!" Cagalli cried and then grabbed Yzak's arm," we're going to city hall to make an announcement.

They walked out of the house and then Reese followed them.

Fllay looked at Kira and grabbed his arm for comfort.

" Kira, what if she's gonna do what I think she's gonna do?" she asked him worried.

" Lets hope she doesn't," he said.

Meyrin looked at Athrun.

" What are we gonna do about Erica? She could be hurt or something," she asked.

" Let's hope she's fine," Athrun replied as he looked towards Lacus.

Cagalli and them got in to the car and drove off.

After a few minutes, Cagalli and her family pulled up to city hall and got out.

She walked into the building and everybody welcomed her. Cagalli headed towards the conference room and ordered somebody to bring a live camera.

" Mom what are you doing?" Reese asked.

" Mrs. Athha Jule, we'll be live in a few minutes," somebody said.

" As much as this pains me to say, but the PLANTs broke the peace treaty with ORB and they kidnapped you're cousin," Cagalli.

" But you don't care Reese since you've been bothering her and hurting her," Yzak put in," you're mother and I are really ashamed of you."

Reese looked at the floor.

" Mrs. Athha Jule," somebody said and pointed to the camera.

Reese stood on the wall away from the camera's sight while his father stood behind his mother who was sitting a chair.

" Good evening people of ORB and the rest of the world. This evening one of our allied nations broke the treaty and attacked the HQ of ORB. There was no one killed yet three people hurt, the nation who just attacked us was the ZAFT Military. As much as I don't want to say but since the PLANTs broke the treaty with us, ORB has declared war upon the PLANTs," Cagalli explained seriously.
