Please enjoy Chapter 7: Power
"The Archangel I won't let it be destroyed" Kira roared, then for a split second he saw nothing but a bright light and then a surge of power. The Strike dived under the water.
"Ma'am detecting another heat source it's an enemy carrier!" Keerthana informed. Murrue's eyes narrowed "Damage report!" "Gottfrieds and Igelstellung are heavily damaged" Keerthana reported. "The carrier is firing missiles" Kayla reported.
"Get the Lohengrin ready to fire on my command!"
"Not enough time till the missiles hit!"
"What?" Murrue shrieked whipping her head towards Kayla and then at the front screen while there was a flash of lighting. Kayla gasped "Captain! Heat source approaching distance 15! It's the Strike Rouge!"
Emily felt a strange sensation like a surge of power run through her, and then a flash of colour, things got very clear as she saw the Archangel on her screen. Emily saw a carrier firing missiles at the Archangel from behind.
"Oh no you don't!" she yelled and closed in on the carrier pulling out the Strike Rouge's beam saber and dismantling the carriers weapons and then she destroyed the engine. Emily scanned the area, 'Noir is safe, Blanche is safe, Sky Grasper is safe, and Archangel is safe…..But where's the Strike? Kira!' she frowned; she then typed a code and got a hold of Lucas.
After Kira dived into the water he was surprised to be met with mobile suits that could work under water, and since he had never fought underwater he was at a disadvantage.
"Doesn't matter" he growled and charged to the enemy mobile suit, quickly re-calculating his moves as he dodged an attack. Kira shoots and hits one mobile suit; in a flash he eliminated all of them as well as the enemy submarine. "The Archangel I hope it's still okay" he said accelerating upwards to find the Strike Rouge hovering in front of the Archangel with the Strike Noir and Strike Blanch flanking its sides while the Sky Grasper was making its way back to the Archangel. The Strike Rouge "Emily!" Kira called out to her, Emily appeared on his screen and smiled "Kira"
Both twins felt a sudden wave of relief and fatigue wash over them, Emily looked into Kira's eyes and he did the same to hers both of them gasped "Your eyes!" at the same time; their irises were dilated; they both blinked. When they looked again their eyes were back to normal.
"Ma'am the Sky Grasper and the Strike Series have successfully landed" Miri informed. "Good, Archangel prepare to dive we are now leaving the combat zone! Destination the Banadiya base" Murrue ordered.
When Kira's feet touched the ground he instantly grabbed his twin waiting for him, and pulled her into a big hug. "I was so worried! What happened to you?" he asked concerned.
"Kira I'm fine really. I blacked out from the impact then when I woke up I was on an island" Emily explained hugging him back "I'm sorry to have made you worry like that brother"
"Well isn't this nice" Mu said walking over to the twins with his hand holding his helmet. "See didn't I tell you Kira! She's a tough girl!" he grinned ruffling Emily's hair.
Once they reached the Banadiya base the crew was allowed to rest for a couple of days and repair the Archangel.
After Emily was check by a doctor when they arrived she went to her room; Kira knocked then came in to see his sister in her night clothes outside on the balcony.
"Are you sure you're fine?" Kira asked walking up to her, Emily turn to face him "I'm fine Kira" she told him.
Kira studied her face "You know you can never lie to me one because I'm your twin and two because you suck at lying" he grinned; Emily scoffed then sighed. "Hey Kira"
"Hmmm" Kira wrapped an arm around her shoulder; there was a pause "Do you know anyone named Athrun?" she asked.
Kira's eyes widened in recognition of the name "Athrun….Zala?" he asked slowly. "I'm not sure of his last name…do you know him?" Emily asked curiously, Kira nodded, "We were friends, I knew him from try-outs and we hung out a lot and then he moved back to the PLANTS because of the war…he's two years older than us" Kira explained. "He's the pilot of the Aegis" Emily said carefully looking at Kira's reaction. Kira kept a neutral face and simple said "I know"
Three weeks after the battle the Archangel decided it was time to move; they thanked their Banadiya host profoundly and made their way across the Red Sea.
Emily and Kayla walked to the outer deck to catch the nice sea breeze to her surprise she found Kira sleeping on the ground with his hands behind his head and a book on his face. His uniform jacket was beside him; the girls giggled when they heard him snore a little as Emily sat down beside him. Emily removed the book and Kira started to stir, Kayla sat on the other side and yelled in his ear "KIRAAAAAAAA"
That said boy jumped in surprise "What!" he huffed trying to catch his breath then he glared at Kayla then at Emily.
"Why didn't you stop her from doing that?" Kira rumbled sleepily resting his head on Emily's shoulder "Sorry but you wouldn't get up if she didn't"
"How do you know?" he retaliated, Emily just laughed as Kayla put her head on Kira's shoulder.
"You two had better stop lazing around like this we have to keep training" Emily stated resting her head on Kira's. "I know there is five months left until the raid" Kira said.
"Lacus sent some pictures of the models, they're almost done"
"Yeah I saw them—" Kira was cut off by the alarm. "What's going on?" Kayla gasped jumping up with her cousins and running towards the bridge while Emily and Kira headed towards the dock.
As Kayla reached the bridge she saw "Four heat sources approaching! The Duel, the Buster, the Blitz and the Aegis" her she read aloud.
"The Blitz is firing Igelstellungs!"
"Get Mu and the Strike Series ready to launch! Prepare to intercept them! Anti-air!" Murrue ordered.
"So we finally caught up with you legged-ship. Okay everyone surround it like we planned!" Yzak said and Dearka grinned. Athrun and Nicol offered no comment but proceeded with surrounding the Archangel.
"APU activate! Connected to catapults! Strike and Strike Rouge stand-by! Systems all green! All clear for launch! You may proceed Strike and Strike Rouge! Strike and Strike Rouge, you're ready to launch" Miri said giving Kira and Emily the go ahead to launch.
"Roger Emily Yamato, Strike Rouge, Launching!" "Kira Yamato Strike; let's do it!"
Lucas and Matthew were allowed to launch after Emily and Kira launched, then Mu. "Activate Phase Shift!"
As soon as Kira launched he went after the Aegis; while Lucas fought the Duel. "Now we can finally have a fair fight!" Mu yelled attacking the Buster, "Um Commander I don't really think it's really a fair fight since there are only four of them and fiv—" Matthew was cut off by Mu telling him to shut up.
Meanwhile Kira and Athrun were clashing blades "Kira, I told you so many times! Stop fighting, you and I are both coordinators! There is no reason as to why we have to fight" Athrun tried to reason with Kira.
Kira didn't listen he just made another attack on Athrun, who sighed frustrated at Kira's actions "Fine if you want to fight so badly then come to ZAFT!" Kira finally spoke up "Athrun! I will never even step a foot in a ZAFT ship!" Athrun blocked.
"Kira we're friends" Athrun tried again "Athrun, I understand…..I understand everything what you're saying but this organization, this team includes some of the people who mean the most to me" Kira said.
"I see if that's the way it is…I'm not going to restrain myself Kira get ready! I'm going to take you down!"
"Uh you bastard!" Yzak yelled trying to shoot down Lucas who kept dodging his attacks "Damn why won't you just die!"
"Maybe you should!" Lucas countered attacking the Duel.
"Everyone please be careful and make sure you keep track of your energy gauge!" Emily instructed, hovering by the Archangel's port side.
"Report on the Strike Series' PS levels" Murrue ordered "Right now the Noir, and Blanche levels aren't too good less than 45% and the Strike's not too far from their levels" Mir reported.
"Who has the lowest?" Murrue questioned "Uh the Noir"
"Okay, Strike Series we're going to being the first rotation the Rouge is to switch with the Noir relay that to them" Murrue ordered.
"Yes ma'am, Strike Series the first recharge and repair rotations are in effect! I repeat the repair and recharge rotations are in effect! Lucas you must return to the Archangel to recharge!" Miri transmitted the message to the mobile suit pilots.
"Damn" Lucas cursed and switched with Emily, "Hey don't tell me your chickening out!" Yzak yelled and tried to get to Lucas but Emily stood in his way.
"Now you fight me!"
Lucas reached the Archangel safely and stood in the dock waiting impatiently for the past fifteen minutes "Mr. Murdoch how much longer?" he asked pacing frequently looking up at the Strike Noir which was still under maintenance "I'd say about five maybe ten more minutes! Geez kid we're not miracle workers we're almost done!"
Lucas took in a couple of breaths to calm himself down "Fine then please hurry"
"Matthew are you okay?" Emily asked blocking a shot from the Duel "Yeah I think so" he huffed.
The Blitz was a very interesting opponent for him, 'It seems like he's trying but not trying at the same time' Matthew thought, then looked at his energy gauge 'Damn'
"Matthew the Blanche won't be able to last any longer go in for repairs" Emily said, Matthew looked up at her through his intercom "But-"
"Don't worry I'll be fine now hurry up!" Emily smiled. Matthew had no other choice but to head back to the Archangel "Archangel this is Strike Blanche I'm heading in for repairs"
Miri appeared on his intercom screen "Understood. Strike Blanche enter from the port side. The Strike Noir is launching soon from the starboard side catapult"
Matthew nodded. Kira noticed that Lucas didn't come out and that Matthew was retreating, Mu was busy fighting Dearka and that left Emily with two enemy mobile suits. "The Strike Rouge!" Kira fought to get to Emily but Athrun blocked him "You're not going anywhere Kira!"
Kira saw the Blitz and the Duel surround the Rouge, as he tried to shoot the Duel no beam came out. "Huh? Wha? Oh no the powers done!" he gasped, and then the Strike turned completely grey.
"Kira! His PS is down!" Emily panted trying not to be shot down, Athrun took this opportunity to capture Kira while he was distracted. As the Aegis was about to grab the Strike, Kira noticed that the Rouge went in the water. 'She…got shot down!' his mind screamed and then he felt a wave of power enter his body, everything was now clear in Kira's eyes.
Kira saw the Aegis closing in and he pulled back on the accelerator, sending the Strike straight into the water meeting up with the Rouge; which was fine all along. "Archangel send out the Striker pack!" Kira yelled, Miri was surprised by his sudden action "Contact Chief Murdoch, and tell him to get the Striker Pack ready to send out on the linear catapult!" Murrue commanded.
"Are you crazy! What if the enemy shoots it down?" Murdoch questioned "What other choice do we have?" Emily asked "We have not way of knowing what will happen so hopefully Kira'll get it in time" she reasoned, resurfacing.
"Just do it! Hurry up!" Kira said moving closer to the Archangel. Mr. Murdoch sighed and complied. Lucas hurried up and launched as soon as the catapult was clear then he had a rematch with the Duel.
"Loading information to the packer's computer" Keerthana said typing "Transferring commands to Kayla. Kayla, Mir the timing's all your"
Kayla nodded "Alright, Kira I'm sending the info"
"Kayla launch it now!" Kira ordered surfacing reaching the target point.
"Miri get ready! Let's start with the launch sequence!" Kayla informed her.
"Okay" Miri said "APU activate! Connected to catapult! Strike Packer stand-by! System all green! All clear for launch! Strike! launch!"
Yzak noticed one of the Archangel's catapult opening "Hey! What the hell?" he said aiming his gun at the catapult right as Kira was lining up to receive the packer.
"Don't shoot!"
