Please Review and let me know what you think of it No flaming


Opening Song (Rewrite by ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION)

As the music stars the scene shows the sun setting over the sea, as the music continues the entire sea and sky turn a crimson colour.

Gundam Agito SEED (logo)

"Wanting to spit out jarred thoughts." The scene shows Kira standing in on the outside deck of the Archangel, the wind is blowing his hair in is face, he has a trouble look on his face. Tolle, Sai, Mirriallia, Flay and Kuzzey can be seen behind him, they all have there backs to him.

"is because there's no other proof of my existence." The scene pans to the side where it shows Cagallia and Kisaka looking out towards Kira.

"The future that I supposedly got a hold of." The view now pans behind all of them looking at the Stirke without it's Phase Shift armour on.

"Has conflicted between dignity and freedom." The scene now pans around and zooms in on Cagalli face, she looks concerned and begins to move towards Kira.

As the instrumental plays the scene switches to a zoomed out shot of the Agito Zerp, then jumps in for a zoomed in shot of Agito Zero as it's eyes glow.

"Wanting to erase the distorted after images." This Scene shows Anthony now in the cockpit of the Agito Zero, looking at a screen in front of him. He looks distressed and is holding a photo in his hand.

"Is because I see my limit over there." The view now zooms in on his hand to show part of the picture with him and what appears to be a woman in it, her face is covered by his hand.

During the short instrumental, the view flashes through the Archangel.

"In the window of excessively self-conscious me." The Scene shows Murrue, Mu and Natarle all on the bridge looking out at something. The view Murrue's face she closes her eyes and sigh as it does.

"There are no dates on last year's calender." The scene now switches to Mu's face as he now looks up to the sky.

During the instrumental, plays and the scene zooms in blocks on the Agito Zero eyes lighting up and then moving.

"Delete and Rewrite it!" The scene shows the Anthony and then pans out from to show the Agito Zero flying over the sea, his suit pushing aside the water near his suit.

"Presence great enough to make me forget those ridiculous super fantasies!" The Scene shows the back of the Agito Zero as it cuts through multiple DINNs and then pushing off the blast from the Buster with the suits right hand.

"Rewrite it for a dramatic revival!" The scene shows the Skygrasper firing at the Duel and the Blitz and then dodging the return fire from both suits.

"Even a meaningless fancy is a motivation to form you!" This scene has the Strike cutting down a GINN and then moving forward to take on the Aegis.

"Give me your whole body and soul!" The Strike dodges a shot from the Aegis mobile armour mode before the two of them clash. A silhouette of Kira and Athrun appear behind there mobile suits they both yell and are in SEED modes as there blades push against on another.

For the last instrumental it shows Anthony and Kira nodding to on another as they head to there mobile suits.


Chapter Ten

If the results come true, it's as if there's only one future. If it fails, we can think that other futures exist... I want to believe that in our future there are many possibilities waiting. Fujibayashi Kyou (Clannad)

Archangel Hangar

Anthony sat in the cockpit of MS Agito Zero, right now his mind and the Zero-System were trying to find a way to allow Tolle to survive what was to come.

It was possible with the power of MS Agito Zero, but if he did that, Anthony knew that Kira would not get the MS Freedom, this was not an outcome that he did not desire.

"I guess I have been playing god a little too much, after ORB, I may have to take a back seat, it will be for the best, well the best for their true history."

Anthony now did think again of how he could save Tolle, but if he did, the outcome would change way to much.

"When they get to ORB I need to vanish as if I was never there."

Anthony did feel guilt, it did plague him when he thought of this, he was going to let a young man who he now knew die for a future that he had messed up.

MS Agito Zero could see that he was in turmoil about this and the Zero-System in it took action to try and comfort him.

The form it took to speak with him was that of Deuce from Class Zero, the one that was gentle and was kind to all of them.

The image was a hologram, not real yet there, there but not there.

Anthony when he saw it knew that it was not Deuce but the system in his suit.

It placed a hand on him, though Anthony could not feel it.

"It is alright, you can find a way no matter what."

The system had pegged her down to every last bit of detail it was rather scary from a certain point of view.

"You don't need to carry this alone, we are with you, for we will be always."

Anthony then said "I am just human, I no matter how hard I try I am unable to save all those who need to be saved."

Now what scared Anthony a little was that the face and body of the image he was seeing changed to that of her.

She spoke to him, in a gentle and loving voice "It is in the little steps we take that we are able to achieve great things, you did always like to go on ahead of us."

His reply was not to move a muscle but tears had begun to flow from his eyes.

He did not know how his suit had got every last detail of her right.

What's more it was like he could feel the hand that was now on his shoulder.

Anthony blinked and wiped his eyes and she was gone, he now took in deep breaths to allow him to his mind and body to calm down.

"How, how did it know about her, how did it know her voice?"

That was a question that he pushed out of his mind, the memory of her caused him pain.

He could recall it all, the air in the hospital, the white room, her warm hand.

He did not wish to recall this, though he did not wish to forget it either.

It was his last memory of her, the last time he had seen her before while she still had a smile on her face.

Despite the fact that he had wiped his face, his tears did not stop, he was glad that he was in his suit if he was not it would have been awkward to tell them why he was crying.

Not to mention the fact that would learn that he was indeed human.

Though most of them were fine with him as he was so far.

As he now did his best to stop the tears he thought "Is being sent her some kind of penance for my sins?"

Now Anthony did believe in God, but this was a rather ironic fate for him to be place in.

"Of all the hells I can get sent to I am sent to Gundam SEED, well at least it is not Gundam Victory, heck if you're over the age of 14 you are going to die and soon."

But some twisted means he did find the good in all of this.

"Heck I guess that is my curse, I can always see that there can be worse than what it is, is that even a real type of curse?"

It did make him ponder "I do wonder if I had been in other cloths, no wait it is not as flash as I am thinking it is, it would be even harder to keep my real secret from them."

It was true, if he did not have this uniform on when he first met them, life would be a lot harder for him, if you can call this life or any type of living that is.

"I now know that there are no end times, just our times and we have to do what we have to do to go on living in them."

That was true, now he had to do what he had to do, even if it did mean that he was going to have to change the future.

"It is what we do that marks us, it is what we do to other and to the world that defines who we are in history."

For now he knew that he had to take the path that was not easy, it was a hard road, but he would get to the end of it by some means, he can make the future he sees reality.

"Oh that is great, I sound like I am from Wing, what is up with me, I have to try to find quote of my own to say."

It did annoy him a little, the fact that he did not know what to say that was his own words and not that of another. "I am who I am, I am who I am and I am me and I can change."


Archangel

The warning sirens had sounded on the ship and the entire of the crew were jumping around trying to get to their posts.

On the bridge Murrue asked "What is status on the enemy, how many hostiles are we looking at?"

Sai who had just got to his post said "Captain, we are looking at around 12 DINNs, Captain I am getting readings that they have suits underwater as well."

Sai now went out and said "If what I can see is true, there are around 14 units under the water."

In her mind Murrue said "Dammit, the Strike is unable to fly or swim, we will have to send Mu out there with the another one of us in the Skygrasper to combat them."

Then it hit her "Wait, the Agito Zero can fly, can it swim as well?"

She now asked "Can any of you find Anthony Hitoro, his suit may be capable of combat in water?"

At this point Mu who they had a line to said "Anthony is currently in his suit, it would seem that he is ready to launch."

Murrue again had to ask "How did he know that they were coming?"

Mu in reply just said "I believe he sees the future, if he does I want him to tell me what are my chances in the future at life you know what I'm saying?"

To make a joke like that at a time like this was not the wisest thing that Mu had done in his life.

But then Anthony spoke out of his suit "I'm launching open up or I'll open it up for you."

Murrue did not wish to test his threat and said "Open the Catapult if he is going to launch, let him launch."

All of the crew gave her a nod and begin the operations to do so.

"Just hope what you have up your sleeve will not backfire on us?"

It was true Murrue was unsure of Anthony, now more then ever, what he had said to her the way he literally said they were going to be left to die was not even funny.

Anthony was known to make a joke at the entire crew, but this one did not seem to be some joke.

No was it a threat or a promise, she could not tell, not that she could ever truly tell with him.

"One day Anthony you and I will have a talk and you will tell me all that you know and how you know it."

Right now though she just wished that she could live to see that day.

Now a broadcast was made, it was Anthony, he was telling all those to flee or die.

Now the Captain had to ask herself "Wait what, I thought he does not kill anyone, did he change his mind now?"


Anthony's POV

I have to do this in order for the world to be better but still allow them to walk the path that they have to, I am not God, I am human and I cannot ever save everyone, but I can try.

Now on all open channels I said "To all those who have lovers or families waiting for them pull back now if you wish to return to them if not stay here and die!"

None of them moved and I give a sigh and said "Infinite in mystery is the gift of the Goddess, we seek it thus and take to the sky, ripples form on the waters surface, that wandering soul knows rest."

I take a breath and as I activate the Trans-Am I say to all of them "The Vermilion Bird says let the purge begin!"

I had the Agito Zero use the voice of the Vermilion Bird for that entire sentence, I'll let those who survive find out what that is, or speculate I should say.

Now in Trans-Am I plunge my suit into the sea below me.

I did not wish to kill any of them, but in the sea I could not promise them anything. No it was I was not going to make a promise that I could so easily break.

"I guess it is time to see if you are all just for show, eh?"

I smash the first suit and use the Agito Zero'sarms to rip it apart, I know that the pilot may not survive, but this is war.

They intend to kill me so if I wish to live right now I will have to kill them!

As I did this I recall from watching SEED that they have a weapon next to the mono eyes.

So as soon as I had got rid of the suits arms I smashed the 2 circles next to the mono eye.

I did not put my fist all the way through in order to spare the pilot.

I smashed the fin on the back of the suit, since its arms were no more I need not worry about the weapons on them.

Now that I got the first steps of how to take the enemy down, I had to get into a rhythm of it and rinse and repeat.

To pull my mind away from the fact that I could kill any of these men or women at any time I tried to think of a joke.

The only thing I could come up with was "If you look her kids, this is a rip off of the Z'Gok, a unit used by the Principality of Zeon in the One Year War."

Yeah it was just not the time for jokes or rather I was off my game, but for some reason it was as if I could feel them, I could feel the enemy.

As I did what I had just done on the first to the next 4, I had to think of what this feeling was, the Zero-System told me to that it was helping me so I should just let it be for now.

I now see that the other 9 units the GOOhNs I believe they are called are pulling out, as I was about to let them leave I heard a voice in my head, it was my own saying "Stop them!"

Needless to say that the Zero-System warned me at the same time as to what was happening, it was not that they were retreating, they were moving to give a carrier plane covering fire.

I knew what had to be done, I could not let even one of those hit the Skygrasper that was going to take down that plane.

In the blink of an eye I closed the gap between me and them and rammed the first one who was about to take a shot.

I know decide to taunt them by saying "Oh come now, I thought that you were meant to be better than those who were naturally born, it would seem that nature is not on your side!"

As I say this I am disabling their far range combat.

As I do this I can see Mu and if I was right Cagalli in the sky taking down the DINNs.

Now it was not that I did not see the shot coming, it was the fact that the cape of my suit was in the way and I knew that the blast sent from the GOOhN would not damage my suit.

As I take the shot I stand there and do not budge.

Now I slowly turn the Agito Zero around the same way that a senior in high school would if a kid in pre school were to run into him.

But now in a burst of speed I disable the suit that only left around half of them left so about 7, but they did not seem so eager to fight me any more.

The Zero-System shows me that it is indeed Cagalli in the Skygrasper and she is shooting down the plane that Athrun is in.

Guess I can let those two have a little honey moon before they get married, hey what I do like the fact that they end up together or do they I never bothered to figure that one out, no it is not my problem.

I now see that the remaining GOOhNs are about to go and try to assist the Aegis.

I dash the Agito Zero forward and put myself between them and their goal, I am not trying to kill them, no what I am doing is trying to make sure Athrun and Cagalli end up together.

Why because if she has the hots for Kira right now, she will freak out when her father tells her he is her brother.

I know I may just go to hell for that one.

I can see that the pilots of the GOOhNs are now taking back their comrades as I force them to stay away from the Aegis.

I can now almost feel the reluctance at leaving Athrun behind, but right now I have a job to do and this is involved.

Did I just quote Robtech well, it may have to wait, I now know that I have to let Athrun and Cagalli run their course, though I had to ask "Where are the other three suits?"


ZAFT

Yzak yelled so loudly that all those in the ship could hear him.

"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN, HE WAS SHOT, IF THIS IS SOME SICK JOKE TELL ME BEFORE I KILL YOU!"

The young man who had come to tell Yzak, Dearka and Nicol about Athrun flinched back.

Dearka said by saying "I think you need to calm down, I can tell you know he is not dead, if he is slap me and call me a Natural."

Nicol threw a glance at the one who had told them of this and said "You can go, in fact it would be best if you did, Yzak is not the nicest guy around!"

Lady luck did seem to by on Nicol's side due to the fact that Yzak did not hear that or had just ignored him.

Dearka now said "Wait hold up why are you worried, I thought you did not like Athrun, due to the fact that he was better than you?"

Yzak then said "I don't like him, but I don't want him to go and die, to a Natural above all people!"

Both Dearka and Nicol knew that deep down Yzak was a good guy, even if he did act like an ass and say what an ass says as well, deep down he did care about his comrades.

If Lacus had been here she would have smiled and said "We all can do the impossible if we bond and act together." That did have a certain level of truth to it more than any would like to admit.

Nicol then said "Athrun is too strong to just die, I am sure he is out there and we will find him and bring him back."

Dearka gave a nod while Yzak turned his face away, to those who knew him that was his way of saying yes.

"One this is clear, we can't do it if we are stuck here in this room, we should move out and do what we can to make them find Athrun he is Patrick Zala's son so they should do their best to at least try and find him."

Both Nicol and Yzak gave Dearka a nod they were able to agree with what he had just said.

Yzak in turn replied "Then we should get up off are asses and go and file a request now!"

His words and his voice were harsh and arrogant but the meaning was not.

Both Dearka and Nicol knew this, it was the way Yzak said he was worried.

It did cause Dearka to wonder "One day if he and I are fighting will I have to mute his suit so our allies don't get insulted by what he is saying?"

But right now was not the time for idle thoughts they had to act and they had to find a way to get to Athrun.

None of them believed that he was dead, to them Athrun was not the type of guy to just go and die, they would find him and bring him back to them.

All of them had hope, but doubt was in the back of their minds, it was not that Athrun was dead, it was worse that he was captured and was going to be tortured by those one that ship!


Clyne Residence

Delilah now stood in front of the Clyne residence, this was not a promotion, no it was far from it.

This was the result of her actions back in the desert.

Andrew Waltfeld and told her about how stupid her actions in battle had been.

He also had told her that when he gave an order he expected it to be followed, since she did not know how to do that she was sent back to the PLANTS.

"I messed up and now I am sent back here as if I was a bad child who needs to be given a time out."

The fact that she had been assigned to the Clyne family as an escort was a little more insulting.

There was no chance for her to see combat again, for the rest of the war she had to guide a pop star around and stop fans from getting too close to her.

Then again it wasn't all so bad, it could be a lot worse.

She had to wonder why she had been posted here and not in a more humiliating location?

She had been given her folder of transfer to look at once she was set up, but she had a feeling that there was more to it than just transfer papers and protocols she would have learn.

But right now she had to be on her best behaviour for she could see one of the household approach her.

Miss Clyne herself had come down to see her "Ahh, Delilah Bennett I believe your name was, it is good to see you again."

Delilah was a bit taken aback she had only seen Lacus Clyne in passing so while she had been aboard the ship.

Delilah clearly did not intend to be recalled by a celebrity.

Lacus looked at her and tilted her head slightly and asked "Did you think that I only noticed the red coats?"

Delilah shook her head and said "No Miss, I did not expect you to notice any of us in general."

After she said that, Delilah felt that was not the right thing to say nor was it what she meant.

Lacus did not mind though and said "All of you have to risk your lives in battle I should at least learn your names so I can remember you, that is what Anthony taught me."

Delilah at this point asked "Anthony the pilot of the Omega that is the same name that Commander Waltfeld used for him?"

Lacus as this point said "Yes that is the name he uses when he is not in combat or in any war related matters."

Lacus said this with a bitter sweet smile on her face.

Even Delilah could not help but blush at the sweetness of Lacus's voice, not that she fancied her but the fact that her kindness was just overwhelming.

Lacus noticed this and gave a little giggle "You should try to relax a little we are all friends here."

The concept of being friends of Lacus Clyne was over her head.

"Oh come now Delilah Bennett, I have to be friends with my escorts, if I am you will be more inclined to know how I am at all time and how I am able to cope with things."

Delilah could not argue with that logic, though she thought if she put her mind to it that she could.

"As you wish Miss Clyne" was the only thing that came into Delilah's head as a reply.

It was not the type Lacus had hoped for and she said "Please call me Lacus, there is only one person I can agree to calling me Miss Clyne and he is not you."

This did raise the question of who was this guy?

"Since it is a he can it be Athrun, no wait he and her are together and I know they call each other by their first names so who is this that she speaks of?"

Now was not the time for that question.

Lacus looked to Delilah and said "Ah, your room, shall I show you to it."

There was not a man or woman alive that could resist Lacus's smile and Delilah said "It would, it would be a pleasure Miss Clyne, I mean Lacus."

Lacus gave her that smile again and said "Come now, I shall so you where to it."

In turn Lacus led here up the stairs and along the corridor into room with a bed a desk a cupboard and a window.

"Here is your room, you must be tired, unpack your things and then come find me if you wish to learn of the schedule that I follow."

With that Lacus left her alone to do as she had been asked to do.

Unpacking her belongings she pulled out the documents that she had been given to look into once she was inside the Clyne residence.

What she saw shocked her so much that she almost dropped the file she was holding.

The orders came with the signature of Patrick Zala "Private Delilah Bennett, you are sent to act as an escort for the Clyne Family, your missions is to watch the moves of both Mr Clyne and his child, then file a report to ZAFT command at the end of every week."

"The Clyne family are suspected of being Natural supporters as well as treason against the PLANTS, if you see any actions that indicate treason you are ordered to act and kill those in league with our enemy."

It was signed by Patrick Zala, the current head of ZAFT, so there was no doubt about her orders.

The only thing that did hit her was the fact that Seigel Clyne was still the head of the PLANTS, well until the election is over.

It did not make any sense for her to receive this order, was Patrick Zala planning to kill the Clyne family?

Right now there was one thing that came into her head and it was what the pilot of the Omega had said to her.

"Well I'm not really your enemy natural or altered you're all human to me, until the day you prove that you are not, I'll leave that to you to imagine, see what a nice guy I am."

As she recalled that she gave a blink and had to ask.

"Did he know that this would happen, that Patrick Zala would order the deaths of Lacus and Siegel Clyne?"

The real question was if he did know how did he know about this, he did not seem to be the sort of man to play both sides.

Then it came to her "Did he say that to me to test me, is this a test of my humanity?"

She knew that it was, she did not know how but the pilot of the Omega, he had told her about losing ones humanity.

While he was in the room with Waltfeld before he left them, he had said that the war was run by those with extreme views.

Was this his final proof that it was true, was this some sort of joke?

No the pilot of the Omega did make jokes but not when he spoke of war, not if he felt that they did not truly get what he was saying.

She had seen the look in his eyes, the eyes of a man who had saved her life and so easily could take it away, she recalled how she feared him.

No Delilah was no coward but if he was right, Patrick Zala was going to cast aside his humanity.

If that was so, then the pilot of the Omega would kill him then and there.

There was no way that Lacus or her father would do the same to Patrick Zala.

Despite the fact that they must have known that she had been sent her as a punishment Miss Clyne had greeted her as a friend.

An act that none on board the ship or any other part of ZAFT had done.

She was not one for intrigue and right now she was being forced to make a choice.

She had to choose between the one who was in control and the one who was about to take control.

Closing her eyes she put away the file and said "I have to warn Miss Clyne and show her this, but how, do they have any others on the inside already?"

It was a valid question a very valid one, but she knew that by some means she must warn Lacus of this.

If Patrick Zala was out for her life then he would try any means to get it.

Delilah with a sigh in her mind said "If you can see me pilot of the Omega, do you think this is the right thing."

She could almost her his voice in her head telling her "The right thing by you and my can differ on our values, what you see as right and what I see as right are not the same."

She gave a smile as he thought that and said "Well I guess there is some merit to the shit you said after all."


Archangel

Mu was looking at Anthony wide eyed "What do you mean by that, you know that she is alive as well as still out there!"

Anthony in turn said "I have been informed that she is alive, her location I can guess but if I had to tell you I may be wrong."

Mu at this point blinked and said "So wait even you can get stuff wrong once in a while?"

Anthony gave a sigh and said "You do know that I am human and just as special as you are, well my bad not as special as you are."

Mu raised an eyebrow "Are you trying to say that I'm special Anthony?"

Murdoch who was in the hangar at this point asked "Let me get this straight are you saying that the Hawk of Endymoin is a Co-ordinator?"

Both Mu and Anthony looked at Murdoch as if he was a total idiot.

Mu sighed and said "No he is trying to say that I am retarded or at least that is what I believe he is trying to say."

Anthony cleared his throat and said "He is also present and does not like to be talked about as if he was not."

Mu then gave a laugh and said "So you really are human, well at time at least."

At this point Anthony said "Arrest me for such a crime and put me to death, wait it's not yet illegal is it?"

Mu gave a sigh and said "You know at time Anthony you really piss me off."

Anthony gave a shrug as if to say "I can say the same of all of you."

But thanks to some unknown force he did not say that and just gave the shrug instead.

Mu then said "I take it that you will go and retrieve here?"

Anthony gave him a nod and said "Only when I know the ZAFT forces are not about to attack your ship, think over the results of it if I were absent from our previous battle."

Mu did not want to think about that to say the least "I think it is in our best interest to just keep on moving forward."

Anthony looked to the roof and said "You know the Crystal thought so as well so it erased the memories of the dead from our minds, I was the odd one out who could recall the memories I shared with the dead."

Mu took a whole step back before he said "I think that is rather scary to not remember or to not be remembered both I would not wish on any of us."

Anthony gave him a nod and said "It is important to look at the past, the present and the future, it is not wise to just leave one or more out."

Mu then asked "Are you really only 19, I think you are around say 35 if not 50."

Anthony raised an eyebrow and said "Was that an insult or a compliment, it does not matter to me though, I do what I must so the world is not caught in the endless cycle."

Mu blinked and said "Run that by me again?"

Anthony shook his head "Think over it, what I said is what I have said, it is the duty of all Agito Cadets."

Murdoch then said "Did I just hear you say that the world is caught in and endless cycle?"

Anthony gave a shrug and said "Did I say that?"

Mu did notice that he did not confirm of deny it, but what did he mean by it.

Mu now said "Anthony if life was one big battle, I'd rather be on your side than against you?"

In turn Anthony said "That is kind of you, but let me ask you this, what is it that you cherish the most?"

Mu did not know what to say in reply to that, it seemed as if Anthony knew this would be his reaction and said "There is no need for you to reply to me now, if you could answer me in the future I do not mind."

Anthony now turned to Murdoch and said "The same goes for you, if you wish to that is."

What annoyed Mu a little was the fact that he was giving them a choice of what to do.

It was as if he knew what there answer was already and was in no hurry to hear it, that got to Mu.

Taking action Mu asked "Just how the hell do you know us all so well?"

Anthony did not reply to him with any words he just gave a shrug and began to walk away.

As Anthony reached the MS Agito Zero he said "How do I know, good question, when I have an answer to that, that you can accept I will give it to you."

Mu ran up to where Anthony was but he was already up to the cockpit of his suit "Wait are you saying we can't handle the truth?"

Anthony shook his head and then replied "No, I am saying is that if I told you all that I know at once and how I know it you would think me mad or you would go mad."

As Anthony closed his cockpit Mu had to say "Dammit what is with that guy, one minute he is fine, the next he is like my grandpa, man you'd think that he could be a little more nice at times."

Mu did know that Anthony could hear him so with a sigh he said "Have it your way kid, I'll give you an answer soon."

Mu at this point began to exit the hangar, leaving Murdoch to say "I don't get it, I don't get you guys at all."

As Anthony looked at them through his suit he smiled and said "I see so there is yet hope for all of you, well I'll have to find Cagalli in an hour of so might as well calculate where she is?"

Anthony now took in a deep breath "Wonder did the two of them hit it off, if they didn't I'm in deep shit."


DSSD Satellite

Selene McGriff was once again in orbit above the earth, she had to admit that she did find the view quite nice though the fact that she was alone was another thing.

Now she pulled up all known sightings of the legged ship.

If she was right she could try and land an a neutral nation and find a way to contact the pilot of the Omega.

There were so many things she wished to ask him, but from her talk with Miss Clyne she could tell that the pilot was rather vague.

"Is he vague on purpose or does he do it due to who he is, it is food for thought, but it if I think too hard on it, it is going to leave a bad taste in my mouth."

Now what she saw pointed to the fact that the legged ship was on it's way if not already in the pacific, it had to be fast to have covered such ground, but then again they must be on limited supplies.

"If I were to take a guess at where they could land I would have to say ORB is the only port that would be open to them so far?"

It was true ORB was the only place they could refuel and they would need to, no ship could go from Africa to Alaska through combat and not run out of fuel.

"I may have to go to ORB, but if they don't?"

It would be wasted trip, Selene did not wish to commit to it until she was sure that they had to end up there?

"If I go there I will have to help them on their own suits as part of the deal, but if they don't show up all of it will have been for nothing."

The current head of ORB was Uzumi Nara Athha he was known as the Lion of ORB.

The man was not to be tested and he stood firm in his beliefs, but if the rumours were true then he had helped the Earth Alliance create a new mobile suit squad.

Though all but one of those said mobile suits were stolen by ZAFT so right now it was moot.

"I will to watch my steps I do not wish to end up meat for the lion."

Uzumi Nara Athha was not the type of man you would wish to meet unless you had to, to say he was a man who would not back done and if he had to would fight until the end.

Now it was not in the nature of the DSSD to just go into nations, the PLANTS were one thing but a nation that was on Earth was another.

"I cannot get access to the pilot of the Omega if I go as a tourist so I will have to go as part of the DSSD."

With a sigh she began to fill out a data pad which in turn would file a request to go to ORB.

The reason was as follows "It is my belief that the Archangel of the Earth Alliance will make landfall as ORB, since that is so I ask that you allow me to represent the DSSD in ORB for a time."

Selene just had to hope that others in the DSSD would see what she could and allow her to go to ORB.


Clyne Residence

Lacus looked at Delilah kindly, she was glad that she had made this choice.

"I wish to ask you as a soldier why did you not follow the orders you were given?"

Delilah closed her eyes and said "It is my belief that ZAFT only exists to protect the PLANTS from harm, we are not meant to harm our own and when we do we will lose what right we have in this war."

Lacus then asked "Do you believe that we are right in this, is it our right to kill the Naturals for what they have done."

Lacus then asked "Does that give us the right to go and inflict pain on others to wipe them out for the sins of the few."

Delilah then said "We can't sit back and allow them to kill us, they fired the first shot in this war."

Delilah did her best to not shout when she said this, she was a firm believer in the ZAFT cause.

Lacus did not raise her voice when she asked "So may I ask you when does it stop, is it when all of them are killed down to the last man woman and child, is this the path ZAFT has taken?"

Delilah did not have an answer for her, she did not think of it in that way, sure she did hate the Naturals for what they had done, she lost her whole family due to Junius Seven.

But she did not wish to kill every single last one of them, how could she, she was not evil nor did she think ZAFT was evil.

But Patrick Zala giving her orders to kill Chairman Clyne and Lacus Clyne that was evil.

That she could not turn a blind eye to like she did to the slaughter or murder of Naturals, it was forgivable to her.

"No Miss Clyne, I do not wish to kill all of them, I do not want to see them all dead, I just, I just want those who killed my family to know me pain."

Lacus gave her and nod and took Delilah's hand she could see that the young woman was almost in tears.

"It is alright I do not judge you for what you believe in or what you desire, it is not my place to do so."

Delilah wiped the tears away from her eyes with her free hand and she said "I'm sorry that you have to see my like this Miss Clyne, I, I just can't stop them, it happens when I think of my family and what happened."

Clyne gave Delilah a hug, an act that gave the recipient of the hug a shock, why she just got hugged by Lacus Clyne!

Lacus said "It is alright to feel pain to feel sad, but do we wish to cause others this pain, is it our right to do so, no I think we should aim to be above fighting fire with fire."

Lacus then let go of Delilah who still had tears in her eyes, Lacus smiled at her again and said "I will not force my ideals on anyone, but if you wish to come with me, my hand is always ready to accept you."

Lacus held out her hand to Delilah, after staring at it Delilah took it and now stood up and said "Miss Clyne I will do all that I can so that your vision will be seen be others.

Delilah did not know why she said this but she felt as if Miss Clynes words had warmed her heart.


Agito Zero Cockpit

The day had come and gone and Anthony had manage to retrieve the damsel in distress.

She was now in the cockpit beside him.

She had been silent for the entire time until they were about to close in on the Archangel.

"Your suit, it can speak to you can't it, I can see it giving you messages as if it is alive?"

It was a valid question, but it was not one that Anthony was going to reply to just yet.

"That may be the case, it also may not be."

Cagalli really did hate how he spoke like that, the way he the one on the Island had spoke to her after he stopped trying to kill her was different.

"Do you have to give me so half ass reply like that?"

In response Anthony shook his head and said "No, but I do not intend to just tell you what you want to hear, I am not your servant, you should just sit tight and try to recall who you met on that Island."

Yes Anthony was fishing for a reaction when he said this and she did not disappoint him "What, I do not have any idea what you just said!"

Anthony in reply said "If I had to say, you did meet a young man, eh?"

As they now came to the Archangel she hoped that he could not see her blush.

She did not know how he knew when he said "You know I can see you despite not even looking at you, this suit is not just for me to look good you know."

It came to her how much of an idiot she must have been to think that his suit did not have cameras inside the suit.

She then tried to say "You should try to rest up at times, you can't be serious all the time."

As the began to dock Anthony said "Have you even met me girl, just ask Mu or any other member I am the most laid back guy around."

Cagalli then said "There is a fine line that even I can see between being laid back and being in denial."

Anthony at this point just said "There is no fine line in life, just a shit load of grey, if we are the dark or light grey is up to us and how we act."

The first thing that hit Cagalli about what he had just said was he had said "There is no black and white in life little girl."

As he now opened up the hatch so she could exited she noticed that he was not exiting the cockpit with her.

She was about to ask why but he must have known that for he said "Allow me to have my time to be alone and be happy in my solitude."

She was about to ask how any could be happy like that but his face told her that he was not going to answer her.

With a sigh she stepped out of the suit and was greeted by the crew of the Archangel.

The first thing she got asked as by the Hawk of Endymion "So is Anthony not going to come out, he did take the time to find you."

She shook her head "He said that he wishes to be on his own for now."

Mu had to think "Well with you in there with him, no wonder why he did that, I have to say at times he can be friendly and at time he can be a total loner."

Mu just had to hope that the theory that Anthony could read minds was just a rumour and not true.

"Well it is good to have you back a shame about the Skygrasper but hey you're alive and I have to say I value people over weapons don't you?"

It was a kind sentiment and Anthony within the Agito Zero smiled and said to himself "That I do indeed."

As Anthony locked himself in his suit and began to drift to sleep he saw Mu away from the hangar area.

Mu at this point moved to the line that was connected to the bridge "Yes we got her back, yes Anthony did come back, no he is not coming out of his suit."

Mu was the only one who could say this to Murrue and get away with it.

The reason for this was they both held the same rank, but he held seniority over her and the rest of the crew.

The reply he got from Murrue was "I knew that he would do this, try to tell him that you and I wish to talk with him about his actions."

Mu at this point looked up and saw the eyes of the MS Agito Zero flash at him and nod "Well his suit just gave me a nod so I think he may come out, but I think that will be at his leisure, we can't order him around now can we?"

It was true and it was a fact that Murrue did not need to be reminded off day in and day out.

Murrue at this point almost gave a sigh and said "I am well aware that he does not take orders from us, I don't require anyone to remind me of that fact."

Mu at this point decided not to annoy her any further and said "He'll come out and talk to us in time, no doubt but I think we should let him rest for now."

At time Murrue could forget that Anthony was only human, it was a fact that had slipped her mind, Anthony was only human a fact that they all knew.

Murrue put down her end of the line and looked out at the setting sky sun over the sea.

Natarle was able to tell that Murrue was not alright so she asked "Are you alright, Captain?"

In reply Murrue just shook her head and said "I forgot that Anthony was human, for a split second I began to think of him as a tool or worse yet a weapon."

Natarle was able see what was wrong with that, though she did not ever voice her opinion on such matters.

Natarle was a soldier first and she had to do her duty by her nation, it was not her place to think on such matters she was not truly an officer.

"We can all make mistakes Captain, it is what makes us human as well."

While her words did ring true, they may not have been the best to say at the current time.

Murrue gave her a nod and said "We are cogs in a machine, but we must know that all of us are human, we are not tools, we feel we learn we live, that is why it is important not to ever think of another as a weapon."

All those on board the bridge including Natarle had to agree with that, it was true.

Anthony at this point was about to drift off to sleep when he hear her voice calling his name.

He did not know why but he felt awake again as if he had never felt drowsy to begin with.

"Anthony, I know you can hear my voice, please do not despair, I know you will find the right path, even if you are in the darkness, I know you find the way."

Anthony did not know if he was hearing a voice in his head or this was a sick joke that the Zero-System was pulling on him.

But he when he looked to the system he could not see any signs of it doing this, true it may be hiding it but why would it do this to him.

No what he really wished to know was how did it get her voice right down to the last detail.

At this point he was unsure if it has used his real memories or not. "I will have to take care, this type of hallucination is not good for my health."

Her voice now said to him "Why do you push me to the side, to turn me away to reject that I am real?"

It was not the type of question that Anthony wished to hear.

"It is just, it is just that you died, you died far away from here, I, you are not real, if you were you would not be so gentle and kind towards me."

Anthony now saw her smile it was her smile there was no way the Zero-System could pull this one off.

Tears began to flow from his eyes this time he was unable to stop them.

"It, it can't be you died, you are not here, I was home, not in this world, how are you here?"

Her smile remained on her face and she reached out her hands and seemed to wipe the tears away from his eyes.

"We are live on in the hearts of those we love, if I recall it was you who told me that, Anthony it is okay to be afraid, but you have to rise above it."


So how was it guys did you like, I have the person I am referring to as Her as Anthony's dead girlfriend, her appearing is meant to be the start of his transformation into a Newtype, though he is not going to handle it too well at first.

Also you may have notice that I skipped out on the scene with Cagalli and Athrun, sorry I just really didn't want to have to write that, I mean the main character of this Story is Anthony and then Kira, so Cagalli is a support as well as Athrun. By the way I am going to have Anthony leave the Archangel after ORB so he can go kill Durandal and Rey as well as shut down the Biological CPU factory that made Stella and Co as well as kill Lord Dijibril. You might say this is a bit out of character for him, but he right now is going through the same type of thing Haman did when she first began to awaken her Newtype powers.

Please Review and let me know what you think no flaming please.
