A/N: Okay guys. I want to get this straight before anyone else complains or mentions about late updates. I apologize for them, but the story is rather massive at the moment as I added a new fraction and new characters as well, I'm trying to get them involved as well, but they aren't main characters, well some are.

Opening Theme : Sixth of June – It Dies Today

Phase 10 – The Messiah


9th October C.E.73, 2107 Hours - The Second battle of Severnaya

The Minerva had disengaged the locks and safety switches to the attached weapon on its hull, the Stampeder's panels started to glow brightly as as the nuclear current passed through it. The Eurasian forces didn't exactly know what was happening nor know what was the weapon. However they soon identified it to the weapon used on the remaining OMNI fleet in space. They soon ordered their forces to spread out to escape the weapon's devastating power. However that was too late, the weapon grew so bright that it made it seem like the sun had risen, then the destructive wave was unleashed on the helpless Eurasian forces. Mobile Suits were incinerated, battleships were broken into tiny pieces and the personnel exploded then vaporised with the rest of the unfortunate souls caught in the beam.

After the smoke and explosions cleared a little, Talia could tell that at least 60% of the enemy forces were taken out. The beam was not as effective as it was in space, but the effect remained the same. It wiped out a large sum of the Eurasian forces in a blink of an eye.


Passageway to Minerva Hanger

Soon the violent shaking of the Stampeder being unleashed ended and Kira smirked as he knew the results already, he felt the many life's ended in an instant but he still felt a good less than half of their fleet remaining. It didn't matter as they would be easier prey now. He quickly walked towards to the hanger in order to fly out in the Freedom, with intention to wipe out the remaining forces that would linger in the area after that attack. They posed a threat to him, Rau and all the Fallen Angels. As to that, they must be scourged from the planet. In order for the great Dark Crusade to begin and his new dream.

He entered the hanger with Lunamaria, Rey and Shinn standing waiting for him. The smile on his face, unsettled the two pilots, Luna and Shinn, whilst Rey remained the same as usual, but hiding a cruel smile. "It has begun" began Kira. "Your orders are simple, destroy anything before you. Leave no prisoners, no mercy. Understood?"

The three saluted him before heading to their machines. Kira turned to his unit, it just had been refitted, which brought another smile to his face. 'Those four Extended out there, they survived, but for how long?' Kira laughed inside his mind. Then he felt a certain presence of the pink beauty coming up to him. He stopped in his tracks and so did she just behind him. He closed his eyes not turning to her. "Why did you come here Lacus?" he asked, but no reply. "Do you want to kiss me for good luck?"

"No..." Lacus finally replied to him but he just smiled and turned around to her.

"Lair" he said. Before she could say another word he placed his lips on hers.

Lacus's eyes went wide, she couldn't believe this. Did he not hear what she said before? But was he doing this to annoy her? Or show he loved her regardless what she said? Lacus couldn't help but feel her heart melt as they kissed. She allowed her mouth to open to allow Kira's tongue to play with hers. Kira then stroked her lower back to her smooth behind. They were like that for a minute or two until Kira departed from their kiss. He smiled at her making her slightly blush.

Lacus then noticed the two technicians, Vino and Yolant starring at them with their noses bleeding, mumbling, "Lucky bastard"

"I gotta go" was all Kira said before he went towards the zip-wire of his unit, placing his helmet on. He climbed in and started the Freedom. The machine came to life and the camera's shown the area it was in. Kira looked down at Lacus who looked at the Freedom with a worried look. 'Don't worry Lacus, I'll end this. I'll end all this fighting'. The Freedom made its way to the catapult and then quickly launched.


Outside the Minerva

The Freedom was out, performing a barrel roll after it spread its dark wings. Soon the SINN, Saviour and Blast Impulse followed their Commander to the front line.

The Justice was already engaged in combat against the Eurasian Dagger units as he was leading the defensive force. He was after all the most experienced and the best pilot they had to Kira. He drew his beam boomerang and tossed it towards the two Dagger's, decapitating their heads off. He then caught it as it returned and sliced off a Dagger's arm that had its beam sabre ready. He then kicked it away at the head. He placed the boomerang away and drew its beam rifle and shot at the three Dagger's heading towards the Strike Rouge, blowing off their limbs and heads.

"Athrun! They were mine!" stormed Cagalli as she saw who took down those units.

"Sorry but you were too slow" he replied before jetted off against a group of Dagger's.

"Selfish" sneered Cagalli as she chased after him.

The two Gundams then broke the whole group of assault units into two and ripped them from the skies, slicing limbs off and shooting off camera heads.

After the Stampeder had fired, much of the Eurasian forces were disorganised. To much of that effect was over half their assault fleet was taken out and their morale was broken. But luckily one Commander rallied their squads and begun not an assault in mind but a defence. Willard so happened to be that Commander. He knew that they had a few tricks up their sleeves but to have that weapon on earth was another thing.

Willard's Windam crashed itself into the Justice with its beam sabre clashing against the Justice's. "You're helping that Messiah of the Newtypes aren't you?!" shouted Willard to Athrun through comms.

"Messiah? What the hell are you talking about?!" Athrun shouted back, kicking the Windam in the torso.

"HIM!! Kira Yamato! That cursed human being who is proclaimed as a Messiah!" snarled Willard as he straightened his Windam. "He is what the Newtype's want, a powerful and strong leader that will give them a future! A future that rids itself from Naturals!"

"Kira is nothing like that! He's doing what is right!" argued Athrun as he brought his plasma railguns over the Justice's shoulder's and fired a full powerful burst at the Windam.

"Is that so?! Then why did he not spare any Natural at that base?!" shouted Willard as he drove the Windam's beam sabre into the Justice's shield.

Athrun didn't have an answer for that. What he said was true, no Naturals were left to live on that base. They were all wiped out, as if they were pests. Because of Athrun going deep into his thoughts he lost the concentration of the battle, which Willard took that advantage, he kicked the Justice back and drew his beam rifle and aimed at the Justice's cockpit.

"Shit!" cursed Athrun as he realised he let his guard down.

Then a green flash ripped the Windam's beam rifle to pieces. The two looked to see the Freedom boosting towards them, placing its rifle away the Freedom drew its two beam sabres. And clashed into the Windam with its sabre's crossed, driving the Windam down.

"So you're back! I knew you wouldn't miss to fix that humiliation I made on you! Messiah of the Newtypes!" sniggered Willard.

"They only thing I came back to fix is to make sure you met your dead sister in hell!" cried Kira as he made his unit spin kicked the Windam away from the Freedom.

Willard thought he got Kira in his trap and radioed to Auel. "Auel! He's let his guard down! Strike him down!"

Kira sensed an Extended lingering below him, which he swung the railguns out and fired a volley into the water. Auel didn't expect this so he cancelled his attack to defend against the explosions around him. "Fucking hell! How the hell did he know I was here?!" Auel screamed falling back.

"Sting! Come with me. We need to provide Auel with cover!" ordered Willard.

Sting just finished off a DINN by ripping it in two with its beam talon. Then jetted over to the battle with the Windam and the Freedom. Kira swung his sabre and clashed with the Windam's shield again. Kira jerked his head in the direction of Chaos. "You? You think you can stop me inferior!" screamed Kira as he left the duel with the Windam to deal with the Chaos.

Sting sneered as the Freedom approached. "Taste this!" cried Sting as he released his weapon pods to engage the Freedom.

"What a foolish attempt!" was Kira's response as he went full throttle. As the weapon pods flew away Kira drew out the railguns and fired at the two weapon pods. One missed but the other was struck and exploded. Sting couldn't believe his luck already.

Soon Rey, Shinn and Luna turned up and saw their Commander engaging three units by himself. "Come on! We can take them!" called out Shinn and he moved his unit towards where the Abyss was. "Hey! One on one asshole!" shouted Shinn as he pulled out his beam rifle and fired couple of shots at the surfaced Abyss.

Rey soon was engaged with the Chaos and Luna went after the fleet. Kira returned his attention to the Windam.

Rey flipped around the Chaos and fired his volley of beams at the assault type Gundam. Sting evaded but only just. He returned fire with his plasma beam cannon, the blue and red beam flew past the SINN as Rey barrel rolled out of the way and threw his beam hookshots. He caught the shield and tugged hard taking away the Chaos's defence. Rey then send its high-voltage current through the hookshots, shattering the shield.

"Defenceless?" smiled Rey.

"Fucking bastard!" The Chaos pilot snarled in fury. The unit then went in for a sabre duel which Rey happily accepting drawn his beam sabre and clashed it with the Chaos's. "I'm taking you down!"

"Such as pathetic taunt" retorted Rey as he kicked the Chaos.

Luna dived from the dark skies and fired volleys of red and blue beams at the vessels below her. Making the ZAFT forces pass through the barrages of shipwrecks. A small squad of four DINN's and a GuAIZ R ventured furtherest only to be blown out of the sky with green beams form the Gaia's cannons. Luna instantly saw that black dog-like Mobile Armour on the deck of a carrier. "You bastard!" screamed Luna in fury as she reverted from her Mobile Armour into her suit and drew her beam rifle. Firing two shots the Gaia jumped like an annoying flea onto another ship allowing the ship it originally stood taking the hit.

"Stella must protect Lee and Willard" Stella muttered as she jetted up and charged at the Saviour. Even though the Gaia didn't really have aerial capabilities it still could fly up for a short time. She threw her Griffon beams at the Saviour but Luna deflected her off with a shove and aimed again, but only got interrupted by a horde of Dagger's. Some engaged the ZAFT forces others met her. Luna gritted her teeth as she couldn't take on the Gaia and Daggers at the same time.

Shinn skimmed over the water's surface in the pursuit for the underwater combat Gundam. He didn't know where actually the unit was, but he would wait for it to make a mistake and then launch an attack, well that was the plan. The Abyss jumped up from the depths and attempted to slash the Impulse with the beam lance from behind. Shinn used his Newtype abilities to sense the stealthy move and swung around catching the lance on its small shield.

"H-he stopped it?!" Auel sputtered in shock.

"Heh, good huh?" laughed Shinn as he drew his beam rifle and aimed at the Abyss. Reacting quickly Auel moved his unit out of the weapon which was pointing at the cockpit, the rifle fired taking out one of the shoulder shield cannons.

"FUCK!!" screamed Auel as his unit shook violently. He lunged backwards to dive, only to have the OS displaying 'ERROR'. "What the FUCK!! THIS IS FUCKING STUPID!! FUCKING USELESS PIECE OF SHIT!!" Auel continued to swear and curse at this machine's error message. Auel was now only capable of jetting across the waters surface which placed him in the open, a clear target.

"What's wrong? Got a little problem?" Shinn laughed again.

"FUCK YOU PATCHWORKER!!" screamed Auel as the Abyss skimmed across the water's surface, firing his chest beam cannon at the Impulse.

Skimming as well, Shinn dodged the powerful blasts but returned with his plasma beam cannons on the back. Flipping under the arms of the Impulse and fired a full burst at the Abyss, missing. "He's still fast!" growled Shinn.

Meanwhile, compared to their earlier massive loss of forces, the Eurasian forces still had a lot more units and ships than the defending forces. A lot of the ZAFT forces were on the front line holding it from Eurasian advances, whilst the Fallen Angels, defended the base, just in case they slipped by. And that decision was a good one as reinforcements came for the Eurasian. Large Mobile Suit transport planes came over the base and dropped their Dagger's over the base for the element of surprise, but the surprise was on them as they landed, they struck mines and the ambushes from the SINN's. The numbers of Daggers were quickly decreasing as they had no cover and they were in the middle of the ZAFT and Fallen forces.

Rey was busy dealing with the Chaos which was now servilely damaged, when he heard Luna call for help. "Rey! Shinn! Anyone! I need backup! I'm cornered!"

Rey spun around to see the Saviour evading beam after beam from Daggers and the Gaia. She sliced up some Daggers that were foolish enough to come close to her with her sabres drawn. Rey took his attention from the current battle and flew towards her. 'I am not losing her!', Rey screamed in his head.

But because he was now not focused on the Chaos, the green Gundam took the advantage and changed into Mobile Armour mode and caught up to the SINN. "You're finished!" shouted Sting as he flashed the beam talons at the Mobile Suit. Rey's eyes widened as they came close to him. Then a green beam shot past and destroyed one of the talons. They looked to see Shinn pointing his rifle at the general direction.

"God dammit Rey! How couldn't you sense him then?!" complained Shinn as he bolted around and drew his beam spear and locked weapons against the Abyss.

Rey just blinked at Shinn in amazement. 'He...sensed him? Damn, I was distracted with Luna'. Rey turned the SINN around and jetted to the Saviour firing a full burst of his beam weaponry at the units surrounding the red Gundam, taking out the eight Daggers. He then went back to back with the Saviour.

"I'm sorry Rey. I got careless" said Luna with disappointment in her tone on herself.

"Don't worry Lunamaria" replied Rey, which her head perked up. "As long your alright then there is nothing to worry about. But now there is problem. We're surrounded"

Shinn was busy beating back the Abyss when a rain of beams fell around him. "Fuck!" he cried out in shock. "Commander! We're becoming surrounded!" shouted Shinn. He was right, the Daggers and some of the fleet was encircling them. "We fell into a trap!"

Kira growled as in fact he realised that now. But no matter, he soon laughed lightly.

"Why are you laughing Messiah?" asked Willard to this change in mood.

"You don't get it. Do you?" Kira laughed more harder. He soon stopped and looked at the Windam with deathly eyes. "Remember our saying? Numbers are nothing"

Kira disengaged the locks and the DRAGOON weapon pods flew off at incredible speeds as they would in space. "What the fuck?! How-"

Before he could say anything the DRAGOON weapons zipped around and blasted the night sky with a beautiful display of green beams filling it with orange and grey explosions. Nine Daggers closed in to the SINN and Saviour only to be ripped to spreads by the DRAGOON's. Taking this time Rey let lose of his beam weaponry, composed of his rifle, beam pods on the subflight and the railguns. Shooting down eighteen other units. Luna changed back into Mobile Armour and bolted around the Daggers firing off beam attacks on them.

A green beam ripped between the Impulse and Abyss spreading them, which led the blue Gundam to be chased by the DRAGOON weapons. Shinn felt annoyed but also laughed at the sight of Abyss being chased off like a frightened cat.

Kira spun the Freedom around and boosted to the Windam again with four weapon pods behind him, Kira swung his beam sabre again and only missed the head of the Windam. "Aren't you going to retreat Willard? Your assault force seems to be getting smaller" laughed Kira.

Willard hated to admit it but it was true. The numbers of his forces were decreasing rapidly. The Chaos and Abyss were badly damaged and they were still fighting the SINN and Impulse, with the DRAGOON weaponry hailing its rain of destruction upon the slow pilots. "Fuck you Yamato! I'll kill you!" snarled Willard.

"Not if I kill you first" replied Kira letting the four weapon pods attack the Windam. "Strike him down" Kira said and the pods surrounded him. Then a flash of white lighting triggered in Kira's mind. He barrel rolled away to have the beam ripped past him, missing him barely.

"Commander Badgiruel. This is Junior Lieutenant Shams Couza. We're to extract your forces immediately. Lord Djibril has ordered that all Phantom Pain squadrons to fall back to Panama" said the pilot of the GAT-X103AP Verde Buster.

Another Gundam appeared and clashed its beam sabre against the Freedom's. Kira looked at the unit and narrowed his eyes at it. "It looks like the Strike..." He then kicked the unit away which it then drew its beam pistols and fired hailing shots at him. Kira projected his beam shield then returned fire with his rifle. The Strike lookalike then barrelled roll out of the way. "He's good, I'll give him that" And Kira continued firing at the unit until it retreated. "Who are you?!" demanded Kira.

The pilot inside was silent at first but then decided to speak out to the Freedom. "I'm Sven Cal Bavan. Pilot of the GAT-X105E Strike Noir! And the one who will take you down"

"Very good Sven but you forgot one thing!" retorted Kira annoyed with the pilots cockiness and even more annoyed at the Gundam he was piloting. It continued to throw beams everywhere, they were easy to block but it stopped him from getting near the Windam that Willard was piloting.

"What's that?" replied Sven.

"You got it the wrong way round. I'm the one who will take you down!" And Kira saw an opening and fired his multi-phase plasma cannon which skimmed the left arm, heavily damaging it.

"We'll see" shot back Sven.

Then his alarm went off as the Justice had just fought its way through the wall of Dagger's and fired its plasma cannons at the Strike Noir. They missed but it made the unit fall back and jetted away from the Freedom.

"Fucking coward" mumbled Kira as he drew all his DRAGOON pods back.

The Gaia was under heavy fire from the fast moving Saviour until another Gundam appeared and thrown its volley of beams everywhere at the Saviour. "What unit is that?! Wait...is that the Buster?" Luna asked herself seeing the Gundam clearly.

"Stella, your under orders to EVAC from the area now" ordered Mudie Holcroft, pilot of the GAT-X1022 Blu Duel.

"But!" Stella protested but there was no way around the order.

"That's an order Stella!" screamed Mudie as she was now taking various hits from not just the Saviour but the DINN's and GuAIZ R's.

Stella complied and waited for the Ian Lee to leave the bridge to climb into the Gaia. They left the burning carrier before a ZnO fired its beams at it destroying the carrier easily.

Soon all surviving forces fled with the Phantom Pain squadron leading.

Kira looked around the blizzard skies and smiled. The Justice soon drifted next to him. "We won" sighed Athrun in exhaustion.

"Yes. Only this battle, the others still await" replied Kira.


10th October C.E.73, 0003 Hours - Phantom Pain Carrier, Willard's Quarters

Willard sighed heavily as he dropped himself onto his mattress. He was completely exhausted. Kira had tired him out completely. He had never been this bad even during training or when he first took those drugs that those scientists gave him. Speaking of which he took out another capsule of the drug he needed to replenish and stabilise him. He drank it quickly, and had a twisted face afterwards. He had taken these things ever since he joined the Alliance, and still he couldn't get used to their horrible after-taste. His thoughts soon went back to Kira. Kira was indeed powerful and knew very well how to use a DRAGOON system, after all it was a system designed for them. In his mind he hated Kira along with the Archangel, they were responsible for the fatal end his sister had, but also he liked him. He was strong and a great challenge. There he started to have respect for the so called Messiah. He sat up and sighed, he was beaten in a Windam, the OMNI's new Mobile Suit. He needed a more powerful unit, as the Strike Freedom was incredibly strong. He stood up and stretched before sitting down at the terminal in his cabin. He quickly logged on and transmitted to the man in charge, Lord Djibril.


Lord Djibril's Mansion, Underground Command Centre

Djibril sat in his chair watching the many screens of various television broadcasts and military talks about the current war. He stroked his grey fluffy cat whilst holding his glass of brandy in his hand. He sighed as he saw a broadcast of Gilbert talking about not wanting a war, but peace and was saying he wants to stop this ridiculous fighting.

Djibril laughed hard, "Gilbert you idiot! You obviously want this too, you should tell the truth!" He rose his glass to his lips before saying. "Such a bad politician" Then he got a message about Willard trying to contact him. He sighed again and lowered his glass, using his other hand to press the button to accept the call. "What is it Willard?" Djibril asked rising his glass again.

"I want to know why did you pull us out of battle?" began Willard, which Djibril lowered his glass again to speak but Willard carried on. "I understand that we were losing my lord, but those other squadrons would have helped us greatly"

"Two reasons Willard" replied Djibril pressing the button on his console. Images showed drop pods falling from the sky over the Severnaya base. Then they broke up showing what Willard could tell Fallen Angel SINN units.

"They got reinforcements? What about the space fleet above the area?"

"Destroyed" replied Djibril quickly. "It seems they intended to reinforce that base, though I don't see the point. The existing forces kicked your ass" said Djibril, which made Willard look at him sternly. "And this as well, I need you do in space" Djibril pressed another button which showed a colony. Willard looked at it strangely. "This colony belongs to the DSSD research group. They have technology in there that is invaluable and we need it"

"So now I understand why you're sending us to Panama" replied Willard understanding the orders now.

"Yes. Your young team, Sting, Stella and Auel will remain in Panama whilst your doing this mission for me"

"Is that wise sir? Why not send them with someone else. They'll...get bored"

Djibril laughed, "I understand Willard. I'll sort something out for them for you. In the meantime just get to Panama and collect your new unit" He then rose the glass again.

Willard eyes went wide. "My new unit?"

Djibril sighed as he lowered the drink again. "Well, I don't think another Windam will do the job Willard" said Djibril, which Willard could feel his voice starting to rise. Djibril rose his glass again.

"What is it sir?" asked Willard.

Now Djibril was getting to limits. "The GAT-X207SR Nero Blitz! Now be gone!" And like that Willard logged off. "How fucking annoying" muttered Djibril, rising the glass again, but stopped to see any other interferences. Good. He drank the glass completely and lowered it to have a curious look on his face. He stood up and walked to the cabinet holding his beverages, opening it and looked at the bottle which he just drank some of the contents. 'Hmm, C.E.62...a bad year'.


11th October C.E.73, 1307 Hours - Severnaya Base Command Bunker

Rau was pleased on how the base was quickly becoming the Fallen's as more and more SINN's and Neptune-class subs were dropped from space above them. He looked at documents in front of him, describing the advances of the current projects. Feeling a headache coming he took two pills and drank it with the vodka near him, which he saved from the victory party they had yesterday.

He looked at the progress of the Purification Project. 'Hmm, at least we're getting somewhere, this time'.

Rau picked up the other file and opened it to overlook the Enforcer, Pursuer and Hunter Mobile Suits. 'Mass production is finished...quicker than I thought. They'll be deployed as soon as we enter the crusade'. He then looked further past the other pages to the Judgement, Apocalypse and Deliverance Gundams. 'I see. They need the data to proceed on the projects. We'll sort this out as soon as possible'. He then flipped over another couple of pages regarding the data on the Gundams so far. He then came to the Mobile Suit, Deliverance. 'Deliverance, the progress is good. Kira's data at this moment has provided us with excellent results thus far'. He read further to the engineer's comments. 'But its still too early to put into testing. All will be well as long as we get sufficient data and then production starts, oh there will be hell in this world', smiled Rau as he picked up the glass again and took another swig before proceeding to another file.

He then got to another file, opened it and his face dropped. 'The Passage Project is on hold?'

Just then, a hung over Deity Commander, Sergei appeared and strolled next to Rau reeking of vodka. "What's happening Rau?"

Rau could smell the vodka on his breath as well, but he smiled it off. "Look, the Passage project is on hold"

Sobering a little, Sergei read that paragraph. "That's ridiculous. Why?"

"I don't know. I'll ask Thomas soon. Anyway how did that drinking contest with Kira go?" asked Rau rising an eyebrow.

"Good. In fact...brilliant. He can drink. That's for sure!"

Rau laughed, then he got message for an incoming transmission. He accepted and it happened to be Thomas Hunter, the Deity Commander of Chaos Angel squadron. "Ah, Thomas, I wanted to talk to you about the Passage project being on hold"

"Well that's funny" said Thomas, "I wanted to speak to you about the same thing. We have a problem with those scientists"

"What do you mean?" said Rau, looking a little annoyed at the mention of the 'scientists'.

"Well as you know you two, the Passage project and the latest Gundam projects are linked by the current research we wanted those pathetic inferiors to do for us. And they seem to disagree with us now, because we're now at war. They don't plan on making the research as a weapon" explained Thomas.

"Those bastards! How dare they not agree to the agreement we had!" growled Rau. "What are your intentions?"

"Well, my lads in the intelligence bureau, had found out that they had built a Mobile Suit holding our technology. I want the Mobile Suit and the labs intact so we can rip enough data out of them before crushing those fools" explained Thomas further.

Rau smiled. "Then make it so, we can't have any anomalies"

"Will do. I'll inform you after our assault. Speak to you soon" And Thomas logged off.

"Well, this is something that we can't tolerate Sergei" said Rau leaning back in the chair.

"Traitors..." growled Sergei looking away. He then looked back at his friend. "Did you find out which squad those traitors who attacked Kira at Junius 7 are from yet?

"No. And that annoys me heavily, We'll find them, and when we do...we'll punish them, leaving them begging for death" Rau flipped the finished file away form him and opened yet another. "The cannon is slowly getting along, but they need to work faster. Time is against us"


Minerva, Kira's Cabin

Kira woke up with a strong headache which he growled in annoyance. He reached for his pills and took two with water near him as always. It didn't matter if you needed water or not, it just made it go down better.

He crawled from his bed and took a shower. The hot water pounded his body as he washed himself. But he didn't feel clean, in fact in his heart and mind he remained dirty and sick. Soon brushing his teeth he dressed in his military rig, and tightening the white gaiters he walked out to find if anyone else was awake, or if so sort of.


Severnaya Dining Hall

Kira had removed his coat and looked around to see some Fallen Angel and a lot of ZAFT soldiers lying around sleeping from the nights liquor and other beverages that were served. He walked around to see Athrun and Cagalli looking around for something. "Hey guys what brings you back here?" asked Kira before he yawned and stretched.

The two looked at each other with concerned looks before deciding to tell Kira. "Well, we're looking for Rey and Lunamaria" explained Cagalli.

Kira looked shocked. "What do you mean? They returned to the ship didn't they?"

"No. Talia rang and told us the Quarter Master hadn't seen them return at all"

Kira sighed, "Come on, they must be around here somewhere" said Kira as he spilt up from the two and searched for the pilots. Just then Kira remembered what happened last night, blurry but he remembered it all.


October 10th C.E.73, 2033 Hours - Severnaya Dining Hall

The party had started from six o'clock, and amazingly everyone was drinking but still not drunk yet. Kira walked through the crowds of Fallen and ZAFT soldiers and officers partying around him, looking for the pink haired diva. He was cautious about her drinking, he knew she didn't drink before than the time when she was with Kira, Athrun, Cagalli, Rey and Luna. He looked around and asked half-drunk personnel for help but they hadn't seen her. He brushed past some personnel who were out of their heads and were kissing and getting it off with other soldier's or officers for that matter.

He pushed past two girls who were kissing each other passionately to woo the guys around them, one was a ZAFT the other Fallen. He then recognised the ZAFT girl to be someone on his ship. "Yoko?!" shouted Kira in shock to see her.

The girl removed her tongue from the other girl's and saw Kira. She blushed heavily as did the other girl, which the girl scrambled herself together and ran off. Soon the guys around bolted away too, in fear of their Commander exploding. "C-C-Commander! What are you doing here?!" the girl panicked.

"Its the victory party Yoko...everyone from the highest ranking and lowest are here" said Kira sighing.

"I'm sorry sir!" pleaded the girl. But again Kira sighed and knew to let her off, besides it was a turn on for him.

"Its alright Yoko. By the way, have you seen Lacus?" asked Kira hoping the klutz would give him an answer to where she could be.

"In fact I have sir" replied Yoko which he looked at her in shock. "She's over there by herself. I think she was waiting for you sir" she smiled at him which Kira went over immediately, without another thought. Yoko looked at the Commander as he went. 'If only...'

Kira sat down next to Lacus who was indeed on the verge of collapsing being completely wasted. Kira placed his hand on her shoulder only to hear her shriek in fear as though she thought she was under-attack, but no heard, the music was louder than her. Lacus quickly turned to Kira sitting there next to her. "Kira! I-I'm sorry!" blurted out Lacus holding her head and smiled brightly.

'Yep. Its just as I thought, she's so wasted'. Kira sighed. "How are you feeling Lacus?"

"I'm...alright" replied Lacus resting her head on Kira's shoulder. "I'm sorry Kira"

Kira lowered his glass of beer and looked at her. "Why?"

"Because of what I said yesterday. Before the battle" said Lacus, her tone was slowly becoming sobs. Very emotional due to alcohol.

"There's no need" explained Kira. "I understand why you said it. Anyway I think I should take you back to your cabin. You're not in the fit state to be here anymore"

"Kira...you talk and worry too much" replied Lacus, which Kira frowned. Then she started to caress his face with her hand. It was warm and soft. She then leaned in and kissed the Newtype Messiah. Kira then opened his mouth to let their tongues encircle each other. Kira thought that she was just doing this because she was drunk but being drunk, sometimes allows people to be honest to their opinions and thoughts...well sometimes. But Kira sensed she wanted this.

They were at it for a few minutes, until Kira parted and looked deeply into her cerulean eyes. He smiled slightly, as he leaned back in and kissed her neck. Running his hand over her breasts and down her body, to her smooth legs. However he was interrupted when they heard people screaming. At first the two looked in the general direction of the noise and thought of it just cheering and screams. But music stopped then and the two could hear Lunamaria screaming. Kira and Lacus shot up with worried expressions. Kira then felt something wrong in his mind, it was anger and rage which the two ventured slowly in.

"Rey! Rey!" screamed Lunamaria, and Kira sprinted in to the crowd pushing the audience aside to see Rey, kneeling down punching a downed ZAFT soldier repeatedly in the face. The poor soldier's face was in a bloody mess. A busted nose and lip, with lumps already forming on his face. Looking at Rey, Kira saw rage on his face and in his eyes. Whatever the problem was, it ticked the blonde off really badly to act like this. Kira walked into the circle made by the crowd and approached Rey.

"Rey! What the hell are you doing?!" shouted Kira making Rey stop the beating.

Rey turned his head slowly at Kira. Rey couldn't believe the look he got from Kira. It was anger and disappointment. Something Rey didn't want from Kira. "K-Kira! I-" Rey tried to explain, but was stopped by receiving a backhanded slap to the face from the Commander.

Rey looked at Kira with a shocked face. "What the fuck came over Rey?! What made you act like this?!" shouted Kira in pure anger. Kira knew Rey would be trouble now for this.

"I-" Rey started to explain again, but he was still in shock up and ran off, Luna in tears ran after him. Watching the two leave, Kira then feels the heavy regret, he knew how Rey came to respect him so much, like a brother and he smacked him without an explanation. He cursed himself for his stupidity.

Then Lacus came to Kira a little woozy. "Kira I don't feel so good" muttered Lacus holding her head and collapsing into his arms. Kira raises her up and picks her up in his arms.

"I think its time I took you back" Kira smiled slightly. As he carried her out he couldn't help but regret striking Rey.

They walked through the cold air outside. But luckily for tonight there wasn't a blizzard. The sound of crunching snow and ice at the bottom of Kira's black boots blended with the sound of the gentle Arctic wind. Kira wondered back onto the Minerva still carrying the sleeping Lacus in his arms. The Quarter Master looked at the sight whilst holding his rifle, with a puzzling shock. "Partied too hard?" laughed the soldier.

Kira could simply just smile. "Yeah a little too much" And Kira made his way through the ship with the heaters buzzing to keep the occupants inside the ship warm. He walked into the officer's quarters and into Lacus's cabin, placing her down on her bed. He starred at her for a few minutes then removed her clothes, laying her in her bed now he couldn't help but have thoughts of sleeping in that bed with her. But she was drunk and it would be immoral to do that. Deciding against it, he kissed her on the cheek as she slept and walked out. She stirred a little as the presence of something held dearest gone.

Walking back to the party, Kira wondered on how the relationship between him and Lacus was going. One time they made a connection, then the next to breaks into rivalry onto topics on the war. He was sick of it, he just wanted her to be with him. Upon entering he noticed that the party was still very lively and people were back to their dancing and drinking.

He walked down the marble staircase to see Sergei sitting at a table with Rau and some other officers including Mu and Murrue at a table, for what seemed like a drinking game. Whilst approaching Rau stood up and picked up a large vodka bottle taking it with him. Passing Kira he smiled and said, "He's been waiting for you" chuckled the blonde Commander as he passed.

Kira sat down and allowed Sergei to pour another round for everyone. Kira knew why Sergei wanted him here, he wanted to beat him in his favourite drink. 'Like that is going to happen', thought the Russian Fallen Angel as he looked at Kira.

Soon the drinking game went on but Kira was not able to keep up with Sergei or even Mu for that fact.

"You should know your enemy before engaging in battle!" laughed Mu at the sight of Kira, his head was down on the table, and he mumbling, not making any sense.

"How true!" laughed Sergei also.

Mu looked at Murrue who was now at her limit and he knew that. He remembered when they drank with Sahib Ashman after the battle against the Desert Tiger. She handled herself quite well, needless to say for Natarle. He picked her up under her arms and lifted her. "Come on Murrue I gotta get you back" he said to her. She smiled and nodded which they left the two Angel Commander's alone.

Kira soon picked himself up and led off holding his head and waved at Sergei as he walked off. He was going back to his cabin with full intention of sleeping this off, when he stopped before Yoko. He looked at her which she blushed and giggled at her Commander being hammered. Kira thought back when he caught her getting off with a female soldier, and it made him hunger for it. Why he was going to ask what next was beyond him. "Yoko" he managed to say, with the stewardess looking at him. "Get that girl you were with earlier and met me back at my cabin. That's an order" he said and walked off, leaving the young woman gaping at what he said and completely red.


Minerva, Kira's Cabin

Kira sat in his chair waiting there for the two girls to come in. He didn't know what came over him which made him ask that but he figured being drunk and incredibly turned on

at the image and earlier with Lacus made him do it. Then the door slid open with Yoko and the female Fallen soldier walking in puzzled and scared of what the Commander might say about it, after all it makes a bad image for the soldiers if it got out.

"Ah, you're here. Now about that kiss you two doing earlier" began Kira.

"Sir we know it was bad. But please don't punish us!" pleaded Yoko.

"Sorry but I have to" smiled Kira, which disturbed the two but still feared what he was going to say next. "For your punishment, I want you two to do it again" The two starred in shock as their jaws looked like dropping to the ground. "DO it again"

The two then looked at each other unsure why he wanted this. They connected their lips, quickly rubbing each other's ass as they did. Kira smiled as they did. He then stood up and walked towards the two. The two girls stopped at looked at Kira. As they did Kira picked up Yoko and threw her onto his bed near them. He then grabbed the female Fallen soldier's wrist and swung onto the bed also. He then sat at the top end of the bed looking at the two.

"Continue" Kira's smile remained. And the two smiled back at him, they knew what his intentions were now, it was obvious.

The two girls begin to undress themselves and Kira's eyebrow rose when he saw their naked bodies. 'Not bad. Not bad at all'. They both had a decent size breasts and a slim body, shaven down below too. The two females went back to their kissing, and Kira slipped off his uniform's long coat and then his tunic coat. He then ran his firm hand along Yoko's body, working its way down to her pelvis and then her pussy's lips. She moaned slightly as he started to play with her, rubbing up and down with his hand, before pushing in two fingers. Yoko let out a gasp as the pleasure increased.

"Commander..." Yoko called out his rank in her gasps.

"Call me Kira" he replied continuing to play with the ZAFT stewardess. Her breathing was heavy and deep with her face more flustered. Kira stood up and unbelted his trousers and dropped them to the floor. "What's your name?" asked Kira to the Fallen soldier.

"Haruko sir" she replied to him. Kira then dropped his boxers revealing his large cock. The Fallen gasped at it. The two stopped what they were doing and crawled to Kira and sat either side of him and the end of the large bed. Kira looked at the two as to what they were planning to do next. The two then placed their hand around Kira's erected cock and started to rub the large muscle. Kira's breathing went quite heavy. "Do you want us to ease you up sir?"

Kira smiled at her and nodded. The two then licked around, up and down his cock satisfying him more. Yoko stopped a little and looked up to him, "How are our mouths working on you Kira?"

Kira was finding it hard to contain himself. "You two are awesome" he muttered as he looked up to the ceiling.

The licking then proceeded to his helmet and Kira truly started to lose it. "Commander. Your about to explode aren't you?" asked Haruko, looking up at him. "I can feel you cock twitching"

"Fucking hell" Kira gasped. 'This is fucking paradise!'.And it was as he grunted as he shot his load over their faces.

"Kira, you came a lot" smiled Yoko as his cum ran down her face.

"No. We're just getting started!" said Kira smiling at them.

Their positions changed quickly as Kira's heart rate risen heavily. Haruko was back sucking off Kira whilst he was licking out Yoko. But it wasn't like that for long as Kira lifted Yoko up and placed his cock at the entrance to her pussy. "You gonna feel, a little stretch" whispered Kira and he lowered his arms making her slide down his large pole.

"Oh my GOD!!" Yoko cried out as every pleasure spot was being touched. "This..." she soon was back heavy breathing. "This is incredible! Its stretching my walls and...oh god I love it!" she moaned as Kira lifted her and dropped her back down slowly to ease her on his size. Haruko was then licking and sucking on Yoko's nipples making her cry and moan even more. Kira increased the pace and Yoko couldn't help but allow saliva drip from her mouth due to the amount of pleasure she was having. "Fuck me! Fuck me harder" Yoko moaned. Which Kira was happy to. Haruko then licked Yoko's throbbing clit as she she was near her limit. "I can't hold on any more! I-I'm coming!!" she creamed as juices poured out and Yoko's body twitched all over in excitement.

He then slowly placed down Yoko next to him and looked at Haruko. "Your next Haruko" he said. And he noticed how wet she was. All Yoko's screaming and seeing the sight of her pleasure really turned her on. Kira quickly drove his large cock into her, which she too yelped but soon was changed into loud noises of pleasure. She was leaning her shoulders on the wall for support as she was being pounded by Kira. Slightly recovering from her massive pleasure, Yoko crawled up to Haruko and caressed her breasts before licking Yoko's nipples.

God she's tight as well, Kira thought in his head. He was soon losing control again as trying to survive through the two hot woman was difficult as a hell. He slid his hand down to her clit and rubbed it quickly as he still fucked her.

"Oh god. Oh god. I'm coming! I'm coming!" Haruko moaned louder as she couldn't hold herself any longer.

"Fuck. I'm coming too!" gasped Kira.

The two moaned loudly as they both came making Kira fall on to his bed with Haruko by his side.

Kira then looked at her and then Yoko. "I think its best if you two weren't caught here" he said rubbing the sweat from his brow.

"I understand Kira" said Yoko a little upset with it. She wanted to stay in his bed. But she decided it was best. It was only for fun, to the Commander's point of view. The two dressed themselves and left quickly not to be caught.


October 11th C.E.73 - The stairs to the Sleeping Quarters

Kira relived the events in his mind and he felt disgusted. 'How could I have done that?! I betrayed her! Oh god I betrayed Lacus!', he screamed in his mind as he punched the wall. He loathed himself in self-pity as he made his way up to search for Rey.


One of Sleeping Quarters

Rey stirred as he sat up with the silk bed cover slid off him. He felt something rolling off his chest as he sat up and looked to see Luna on his left arm. How did we get here? And why am I naked? Rey asked himself as he felt the sheets over his naked body. He then rose the sheets to see something else that made him ponder with his hangover. 'Why is Luna naked...wait'.


October 10th C.E.73, 2037 Hours - Severnaya Dining Hall

Rey, Luna, Shinn, Meyrin, Yolant and Vino were finishing their other bottle of vodka when the two technicians noticed Kira and Lacus. The two sighed miserably. Luna noticed this and looked at where the two grown ups making out there. She smiled and shrugged to the two boys. "Well, she was out of your league anyway" smiled Luna.

The two techs gave her a glare. But then sobbed in defeat at the truth.

Shinn, Rey and Meyrin laughed at the pair. Luna then picked up her glass of half drunk vodka, when she saw Athrun Zala and Cagalli Yula Athha dancing together in the rock music background. Luna felt rather jealous as she loved to dance but she looked at Rey, he was drinking his glass quickly with eyes shut.

"What?" he asked when he finished his drink.

"Do you want to dance Rey?" she asked brightly with a smile.

"No" was his straight answer.

Luna frowned and glared at the Newtype. "Why?"

"Because I never danced before" he declared.

Luna's frown remained, "Well its always good to start!" she said standing up downing the glass's contents quickly and grabbed Rey's wrist pulling him from his seat to the dance floor.

Meyrin and Shinn looked at each in shock. "Well, I can see who wears the pants in this relationship" said Shinn drinking his shot.

Meyrin laughs and then looks at Shinn. "You want to dance?"

Shinn considered it. "Alright. What the hell" he replied, standing up walking with her to the dance floor. Well it wasn't like he liked Meyrin enough for a relationship he was just friends.

Rey was dragged into the middle of the dance floor with Luna pulling his red coat. To say that Rey was completely nervous was the correct answer in all aspects on his face and body, he never danced before nor even attempted. Luckily the song changed to a calm and slow beat, Luna placed her hands around Rey and he did the same, as it seemed logical to do. Rey didn't exactly know what he was doing except he was moving in rhythm to the song. He used what he learnt with rhythm's by his piano lessons, luckily. He starred at Luna's violet eyes, and she starred back. Time seemed to slow down for the two. They had kissed before, many times. But this was them, together, after the battle that almost determined their lives.

They went to lean in to kiss until Luna stopped and showed an annoyed look. Rey first was uncertain to why she displayed that face, he thought he done something wrong but what? Then Luna let go of Rey and spun around to look at the person behind her. Rey then looked up and saw a male ZAFT soldier about the age of 19, messy short brown hair, and fairly tanned, holding a large grin on his face.

"What the hell do you want Sato?!" demanded Luna looking she was about to let unleash hell on him. "And how dare you grope my ass without asking?!"

Rey then glared at the Sato which he noticed instantly. "Who's this Luna?" asked Sato almost glaring back at the blonde.

"This?" smiled Luna. "This is my boyfriend Rey" Luna stood proud of that fact.

Sato gritted his teeth. "This guy? You're dating this blonde freak?!"

Rey already despised the guy.

"Wait. Isn't he? Rey Za Burrel?"

"The one" replied Luna.

"I don't believe it. Your dating this emotionless bastard?! Come on Luna, I'll show you a good time" Sato pulled Luina away from Rey and was holding onto her. Rey's blood boiled very quickly.

"Let go Sato!" demanded Luna pushing herself away from him, but he had a firm hold on her. Rey, not taking this anymore walked up to Sato and punched him directly in the face knocking him down. Luna was relieved that Rey did that but Rey didn't stop. Her eyes widened in horror as Rey picked the guy up by his hair and and then punched him again in the face. He continued to do that that with Luna screaming his name to stop in the background as the music died.

"Rey! What the hell are you doing?!" came Kira's voice behind him. Rey stopped his abuse on Sato and slowly looked round to Kira.

"K-Kira! I-" Rey didn't get a chance to finish as he was backhanded slapped by Kira. The look as well made Rey feel disgusted about himself. "I-" Rey went to explain again, but still that look peered at him. Piercing his soul, Rey couldn't stand before Kira at this moment. In rage against himself he turned and ran off with Luna pursing after him.


The Rooftop

Rey ran as fast as he could to somewhere where he could be alone. He needed to think, he was already in trouble with the authorities because of Luna at Carpentaria. He didn't need this now. He let the cold air bristle his face and his hair blew in the flow of the light wind. He didn't cry. There was no need to, it was a mistake, no an error. He shouldn't have been so aggressive against Sato. Sure it ticked him off but how he reacted even surprised himself, he never acted like before. He leaned on the stone balcony to overlook the base.

Many buildings were destroyed but the intention was to rebuild this base to the standard what the Fallen Angels wanted from it. Rey himself had no idea what his fellow Newtypes were planning as he wasn't directly involved with them. He looked down to see Kira leaving the dining hall with Lacus in his arms, despite the smack he received he smiled slightly at the sight. He remembered being told by Rau how the two were so much in love, and it broke when he slept with Gilbert's fake Lacus, Meer Campbell. He was smiling for the reason that it seemed that they were getting back together and he hoped that they did, for Kira's sake.

He then rested his head on his arms. He looked then at the sky with the Northern Lights shining brightly. It was beautiful, something Rey wouldn't have taken interest before. Before he stood up properly his senses kicked in and sensed someone coming up the stairs to the balcony. He looked around to see Luna coming onto the rooftop looking upset but he also sensed her anger at him. He understood why, he acted irresponsibly and harshly to Sato. Also he made her run after him. She approached him with the sound of snow and ice crunching under her boots. She stopped in front of him only a few inches away.

"Lunamaria. I'm sor-" again before he could get the sentence finished she drove herself into his chest making him stand there in shock and confused. Rey expected her to hit him or give him verbal abuse. This just took him completely off guard.

"You idiot" she muttered between sobs. But he expected her to say that. "Why did you do that? Why did you lose it Rey?"

Rey himself couldn't answer that as there wasn't one. He couldn't explain it. From what Rey could gather when he attacked Sato he felt Luna's fear. It sickened him, being a Newtype did have its disadvantages. "I'm sorry" was all Rey could say, although it wasn't the best response.

Luna pulled herself away from Rey's coat and starred into his ice blue eyes. "I understand why you hit him once. You were angry that he tried to take me form you. Right?"

"Yes" was Rey's small response.

"Its okay. I was scared" Luna explained which Rey frowned.

'Scared of what I've done', thought Rey.

"I was scared of what would become of you" she explained further.

Alarm bells were ringing in Rey's head as he looked at her confused. Then he realised why. She was afraid that he would get put away for this, although it was a crime to brawl with another soldier, he doubt that Rau or even Kira would allow prison. "It's okay"

"You say that and you were afraid of Kira?" smiled Luna wiping the tears from her eyes as the temperature was below freezing.

"Yeah" he replied solemnly.

"I think he'll regret it though tomorrow" said Luna looking up to the Northern Lights. "It's beautiful. Isn't it?" mentioning the spectacle.

Rey then looked back at it. "Yeah" he replied smiling. "Lets go back inside" said Rey holding onto her hand and walked with her back inside.


Along the Corridor's of the Sleeping Quarters

What Rey was astonished about this building that even though it was an luxurious dining hall. It the sleeping quarters made it seem like a hotel. They walked through them which Luna stopped in her tracks. Rey stopped also to see why she halted here. "What is it?" he asked concerned.

She turned to the nearest door and and pulled the door handle which it opened slightly. Smiling Luna dragged Rey inside and closed the door behind them. A stunned Rey looked around to see that there was a large flat screen TV, on-suite and...a large king size bed.

"What are we-" Rey was asking again but he was stopped yet again but by Luna's soft lips on his. They were like that for a few seconds before she moved her head back smiling. Rey thought that he was getting interrupted frequently lately.

"I want to spend the night with you Rey" she said softly and sweetly, blushing a slight shade of red.

Rey's heart pounded faster, and he felt that he was getting warmer, giving a deeper shade of red. He moved back in without thinking and kissing her. It was soon becoming more passionate as they allowed their tongues encircle each others. Luna was moving back towards the large bed unbuttoning her red coat and letting it drop to the ground as she then tendered to Rey's coat.

Removing her shirt, Rey then unclipped her bra, pushing her onto the bed. He looked at her half naked body, then removed his shirt, kicked off his boots and dropped his trousers only to be standing in his boxers before her. He removed her boots slowly looking into her violet eyes, as she looked into his. Kneeling at the end of the bed he placed his two fingers on her panties stroking slowly. She twitched a little as he played with her sensitive part. Feeling that the underwear were soaking wet her pulled them off and laid next to her still starring into those eyes. He then rubbed in between her legs and then stuck two fingers into her. She gasped lightly as he then moved his fingers in and out of her. She lightly started to moan.

She then reached into Rey's boxers and took out his erected cock. It was quite large and Luna smiled at him. "You Newtypes are gifted aren't you?" she teased as she played with his cock. It was Rey's turn to begin breathing heavily. But he continued to dive his fingers in her.

Rey, soon after a couple of minutes of foreplay removed his fingers and finally removed his boxers as Luna removed her mini skirt, and was about to removed her tights but Rey placed her on her back looking down at her holding his large shaft outside ready to penetrate.

Luna looked lovingly at him as just before her face changed to slight pain and a quiet yelp as he quickly pushed himself in her. Even though this was Rey's first time. He noticed that she was really tight and along with her expression and her fingers gripping for life on the bed covers, which soon spawned the question. "Lunamaria..." She looked at him with slight watery eyes. "Is this your first time?" He looked down to where his cock was and as he pulled out traces of blood came out too. He looked back at her shocked. He thought that Luna had done it before, he also thought that she and Shinn had it off but obviously he was wrong.

"I-I didn't want...to say" she said as she said between a breath. "Its embarrassing isn't it?"

Rey smiled. "No. It just makes you pure" said Rey as he closed his face to her breasts and licked and played with her nipples.

"I-I want-ed to lose it...to you" she said through her moaning.

And Rey leaned back and slowly pushed back in this time making it more comfortable for her but there was still a little pain. After a few slow ones he tried picking up the pace, and it seemed that Luna had gotten used to it. Her loud moans of pleasure ensured this. Time seemed to pass quickly as Luna was becoming more flustered as she gripped on the bed cover.

"I-I don't know how...long I can...last" she managed to finish through her moans. She tried desperately to hang on but her body refused as she felt that ultimate rush with her body shaking violently as she moaned really loud. She had her hand on Rey's left arm which she then scratched her nails on his skin. He grunted a bit as it actually ripped the small layer of skin, getting ready to ooze blood out. "Sorry Rey" she said gaining her breath back.

"Don't worry about it. Its just a scratch"

"Its not just that" she replied wiping the sweat from her brow. "I came before you"

"It doesn't matter. This time..." he leaned into her. "We'll come together" And he continued to thrust. Their moans seemed to echo the empty room as well as the hall outside but nobody was around. Rey then laid Luna to her side and laid behind her and lifted her right leg up as he thrusted faster. Minutes past and Luna was already reaching her limit with Rey at the same time. "I'm coming Rey! I'm coming!"

"Me too Luna" he said under his breath. Soon it felt as two souls became one as they both came with Luna's pussy juice and small amounts of blood over the bed. Rey pulled out with his semen dripping out of her.

'I feel it. I feel his hot cum inside me. Oh Rey'. She turned her body around to look at him which he looked tiredly at her, he had been doing most of the work as he was dominating her. She placed her hand on his right check and brought their faces together again, kissing one more time before falling asleep.


October 11th C.E.73, 0956 Hours - Along the Corridor's of the Sleeping Quarters

Kira walked through the long halls and decided to look for the two in the bedrooms. He was then approached by the red head pig-tailed sister of Luna. "Meyrin? What are you doing here?" asked Kira.

"Captain Gladys said it was alright for me to help search for them. They're probably crashed out somewhere in one of the rooms" she said with slight disgust to the idea.

"I see. Well I'm doing that now so you search that side and I'll search this side" said Kira going to the adjacent room.

Meyrin approached the first room she was told to search and opened it. She instantly froze and starred at the couple in the bed. Meyrin then laughed lightly. "Nah! Those two wouldn't have" she then approached them to shake them until she noticed clothes on the floor and a faint funny smell. Her eyes widened as she then lightly lifted the covers to see what she didn't want to see. Looking at Rey who was curled up behind Meyrin's older sister, the young Hawke walked to the other end and picked up a lamp.

Kira then just walked out of the room he searched with no luck and was about to walk into another one when he heard a smash and someone sounding like Rey shouting in pain.

Kira sighed, "I guess she found them" he said as the sound Luna's voice soon after, having a go at the attacker, soon the Hawke sisters were engaged in a fiery argument. "Poor Rey. He'll be dead before this war even ends and at the hands of a ZAFT comrade"


1024 Hours - Talia's Quarters, Minerva

Talia sighed as she looked at the sight of Rey who was bandaged again from the attack of the same person. Next to him was Lunamaria embarrassed and blushing over the situation, and Rey was blushing a little but was more concerned about the blow to his head. And Kira who stood next to Talia trying not to laugh.

"Again Meryin had assaulted you Rey over the relationship you have with Lunamaria. And yet you aren't bothered about it?" asked Talia looking at the blonde.

"Well, what else can we do Captain? Whatever we will do, it won't change how she feels about it" replied Rey although he did wish she could just accept it.

"Well what do you think Commander?" asked Talia looking at Kira.

"Like he said Captain. What can we do?" simply replied Kira shrugging his shoulders. "It's not like we can make a difference. Even though I wish we could" smiled Kira.

Talia sighed again and rubbed her temples. "Yes true. But the situation that they were found in sir. That's disturbing for our CIC operator" Kira leaned back and held onto his head from his hangover. "Is something wrong sir?"

Kira opened his eyes and looked at her. "No. nothing Captain"

Talia smiled. "Are you suffering Commander?"

"Yeah yeah" Kira waved his hand at her. "Anyway, Meyrin had to accept these facts now. Besides that their not in the legal age, if Miss Hawke here gets pregant, it would be great news to the PLANT's-"

"COMMMANDER!!" the two women in the room blasted at him.

"Well, it would. Wouldn't it?" Kira retorted. "We all know the birth rates are a all time low. This would make news"

Talia looked at Luna as to that he was being serious. "Miss Hake. Did you actually use protection?"

Luna looked at her and lowered her head. "I apologise ma'am but we didn't"

"I see" disappointment was clearly heard in her voice.

Kira looked to back up Luna. "Talia there is nothing to worry about" Kira picked up the file on the table labelling the report and ripped it in two.

"Commander!-" Talia began to protest.

"That's enough Talia. Rey, Lunamaria, you are excused" And the two pilots saluted and left with Luna holding onto Rey's hand. As soon as the door closed, Kira turned back to the Captain of the ship. "We don't need anymore publicity on this ship. Do we Talia?"

Talia had always wondered why Kira had called her by her name more than her rank. But in the end she believed it was his personalty that does it. "No sir"

"Good. Now that is settled. I will report to Deity Commander Le Creuset, for our update. You may join me if you like"

"I will this time. But I hope that there won't be any torture this time"


1035 Hours - Female Showers

Lunamaria stripped off her ZAFT uniform and stepped into the shower, turning it to hot water. 'A lot of things has happened between me and Rey and yet, every time we get into trouble, the Commander always bails us out. Is the friendship between Rey and Kira that close?'. She then rinsed her hair thoroughly until the door opened which she looked over the door to see her little sister.Meyrin looked as if she wanted to talk but Luna wasn't having any of it and turned away to resume her shower.

"Onee-chan. I want to-"

"There is nothing to talk about Meyrin" Luna stopped her sister in her words. "You struck Rey over the head again and you still can't get over the relationship between us"

Meyrin remained quiet as her sister finished her shower and stepped out. "What would mother and father say if they found out about this?"

Luna glared at her sister with horror in her heart. "You wouldn't dare!"

"Why wouldn't I?"

Luna threw her towel aside and started to change. "You're a real bitch Meyrin...go ahead tell them! See what I care!"

'Is she serious?! No. Wait...she is! I don't believe this...is she that much in love with him?'. Meyrin looked at her sister as she finished tightening the belt on her uniform and stormed out. Leaving Meyrin troubled in her thoughts.


1104 Hours - Severnaya Base Command Bunker

Kira and Talia had just entered through the main doors of the Commanding Officer of this base and were astonished to see Cagalli, Athrun, Mu and Murrue here with Sergei and Rau. Kira approached Rau and saluted with Talia also giving the marks of respect shortly after him.

"It's good to see you stand here for this briefing as well Captain Gladys" said Sergei looking a little surprised by here appearance also with the appearance of the Orb officials.

Talia only nodded to him. Everyone gathered around the table in which Rau planned to give out orders quickly before the Chairman could intervene with the 'interests' of the Newtypes. But before he could start a Fallen Angel soldier, being part of the communications branch quickly entered and ran to Rau's side and whispered something to him.

"You're serious?" asked Rau calmly, which the soldier nodded. "I see. Well patch him through"

The soldier ran back out which curious faces starred at Rau.

"The Chairman would like a word with us before we can get things started" explained Rau, which deep down he was heavily annoyed. Soon the image of Durandal appeared on the main big screen behind the Deity Commanders. They turned around with everyone saluting him, besides Cagalli. He looked annoyed and Rau knew why. "Ah Chairman. What makes you reach us at this time in hour?"

"People are complaining Le Creuset that your 'tactics' are ruthless" hissed Gilbert. It was unusual for everyone to see Gilbert like this. They always seen him calm and collective but this obviously this side is rare to see. Even for Talia.

"Like who?" asked Rau showing not much interest and also could guess who.

"People like those who support Lacus Clyne's ideals. I myself find that decision horrific"

"The choice was given because we were heavily out numbered" replied Rau.

Mu noticed that Le Creuset seemed to be trying to convince the Chairman that it was the right move. But Mu knew the blonde man, ideally his brother, as to have alternative motives.

"I will discuss this with you another time Le Creuset. But for now I want to give out some orders for Le Creuset and his young Commander" explained Gilbert, which everyone knew he was referring to Kira. "Saint Commander Yamato and Deity Commander Le Creuset will take the Minerva and the Archangel to the Gibraltar base to provide the base with extra support as their reinforcements"

Rau's smirk fell as he obviously didn't want this. He wanted to provide assistance to Sergei with their plan of their crusade on Eurasia. But it seemed Sergei had to handle it himself. "Understood Chairman" replied Rau annoyed.

"Good. And I apologise Miss Athha for dragging you around but I need your assistance at Gibraltar" explained Gilbert for the reason of the order.

"Its understandable Chairman. But when our we going to get our chance at Orb?" asked Cagalli, desperate to regain her lost country.

"First help us decrease the amount of forces that the Earth Alliance are throwing at us. Then I will lend you some of our forces for Orb" replied Gilbert.

"I understand" was Cagalli's only response.

"That is all. Take care" and Gilbert logged off. The room buzzed between with small conversions on their orders.

Sergei and Rau discussed this problem they now had. "I'm afraid this crusade will be done without me my friend" said Rau standing up.

"I understand Rau. And don't worry, I'll be fine. At least you'll see Lucy again" smiled Sergei.

"True" Rau also smiled. "Well I must get ready. Good luck Sergei"

Athrun, Cagalli, Mu and Murrue made their way out planning on what they expect to come against on their travels to Gibraltar. "It won't be easy" said Mu. "We'll have to pass two important Eurasian naval bases and not to mention some Atlantic Federation bases also"

"That's a risk we have to take" replied Athrun. "But I have a bad feeling about taking Le Creuset with us. Having him around with Kira isn't very comforting"

"I agree. Having him around Kira isn't good but can we do?" Murrue added. "We can't stop him influencing Kira to his words"

"The sooner we get to Gibraltar the better" replied Cagalli. "Let's just hope we don't met any Earth forces along the way"


1342 Hours - Severnayra Port, Minerva

The two massive space warships departed from the icy shore's of Severnayra with Kira, Rau and Talia on the upper deck saluting their newly captured base as they left which they had Fallen Angel and ZAFT squads saluting back as they left. As soon as harbour stations were finished Rau and Kira immediately left the cold deck, not because of the bitter cold that had developed that day but because they had work and plans to discuss.


Rau's Cabin

"Curse Durandal for making me do this" said Rau with a bitter taste as he sat down.

"There was nothing you could do sir. His order is above yours", replied Kira sitting down on the sofa in the room.

"Yes. But soon I won't have to listen to that fool" Rau said with a smirk on his face.

Kira looked at him with interest as he rose an eyebrow. "Really sir? When?"

"After we're done in Gibraltar. I'm leaving as soon as the Durandal is done discussing with me some petty things. I will leave and head to the United States of South America. It appears that they have no intention of fighting this war. And its riffled up the Atlantic Federation" explained Rau.

"So the Atlantic Federation is planning on sending their forces to solve this problem?"

"Exactly. We will take the advantage of this and take on Brazilian Provence for our own little plans there"

"And me sir?" asked Kira pouring himself a glass of bourbon and placing ice in it.

"As soon as I leave you will head for the Egyptian Provence and rally our people there. They will be used in attacking the Victoria base. Then you should head to the naval ports in the Ukrainian Provence, Odesa and Yevpatoriia"

"So we can take Volgograd?" asked Kira before taking a sip on the liquor.

"Yes. Making us on step closer to Moscow. Where the remaining Eurasian Government officials will be cowering" explained Rau, standing up and walking to the table pouring his own bourbon and placing ice in it.

"Then we will begin the purge"

"Yes" said Rau.

"What about Rey and Shinn?"

Rau thought about it. He had idea's for Rey but for Shinn, that was different. They knew Shinn was a Newtype but could they trust him enough into their schemes. "Rey will have to go with you. As for Shinn we will wait and see if he follows our plans"

"I understand sir" replied Kira.

"The world will be reborn anew in our image for the future of mankind" he added. "To the future" he held his glass out.

"To the future" Kira repeated before clipping his glass with Rau's and then both downed their liquor.

Ending Theme : Shadow of the Day – Linkin Park

A/N: Well that's it another chapter gone. It took longer than I thought as I was at Hong Kong for my summer and I had some sort of writer's block. I didn't really know what to do at this point, the stuff beyond I was well aware what needed doing. There was a problem I found out about the characters personal characteristics such as Rey's eye colour which I mentioned earlier on in the story that he had ice blue eyes, but in fact their light green. All well.
