CHAPTER 12 : The Unpredictable Future And Love

-EARTH, CRYSTAL FEDERATION SECRET BASE, BRITANNIA'S OCEAN-

Beneath the calm ocean near the high rocky mountain, lies a huge secret military factory belongs to the Britannia and the Crystal Federation. Inside several military clothed officer and engineer stare at the magnificence battleship that belongs to the Crystal Federation top special unit, the Celestial Being, The Lunar Battleship.

Inside, the enormous ship was making its final preparation before taking off. Everyone onboard was sited at their own specific places according to their ranks and job. The ship Gundam's pilot watches their MS being place safely at its place from the pilot's waiting room. The ship's bridge looks a lot like Minerva but only 3 times bigger and 2 times more people in it. The ship captain, a beautiful 26 year old women with long curly brunette hair that stop around her womanly waist, a light skin colour, a very curvy body with c-cup breast and a sharp hazel eyes. She was wearing Crystal Federation's blue uniform with black lining around the neck, skirt, hand cuff and front zip, signalling her higher rank than the rest of the crew. She was currently sitting on the captain seat at the middle of the room, giving orders around the bridge.

After everything prepare, the women, known as the strategist genius, Captain Sumeragi Lee Noriega, look behind her where a man, wearing a black half-mask covering his eyes and nose, wearing the Crystal Federation black uniform for Leaders with gold-lining with black glove and a pair of white pants with black boots, sitting on a chair higher than her. The man was none other than the Leader of the organisation, Kira Yamato, but also known as Zero, his codename, because he still keeping his identity a secret. Beside him sat the spokesperson and the reprehensive of the organisation, Serenity Moon who is also Lara in disguise. She is wearing her signature outfit, a long sleeveless Crystal Federation Uniform white uniform with gold lining that reach above her knees with tight pale-pink mini skirt inside, a pair of white glove and high tight stocking with white boots with gold coloured front zipper. Her long pink hair was tie neatly to a low ponytail at the back with a white ribbon. Looking at them, Sumeragi smile at him and says. "She ready to go, Sir."

Kira a.k.a Zero gave a sharp node. He looks forward and says with a confident voice. "Full status report before taking off."

Mileina Vashti, one of the three C.I.C officer of the ship, wearing the blue Crystal Federation uniform with dark brunette hair tie to two high ponytail on each side of her head with brown eyes answer her as her fingers dance on her computer keyboard. "The engine is activating as expected. The conduit and the APU are now online. Power flows are normal."

Another girl, also the C.I.C officer with long brown hair tie to a low ponytail and hazel eyes, wearing the same blue uniform as Mileina and the rest of the crew continue after her. The girl, Christina Sierra reads her report out loud. "Holding the external shock dampers at 30% output. Confirming the closure of all hatches. Life support system is starting up normally."

Feldt Grace, head of the three C.I.C officer of the ship who was sited at the middle seat between the two other C.I.C Operator girls nod as her finger dance on the computer keyboard, eyes focus on the screen. The 15 year old Coordinator with curly pink hair and small azure blue eyes, wearing the Crystal Federation blue uniform continues the reports. "Main engine, contact, system all green, all system online, the Lunar Battleship ready's to launch."

Zero nod again before commanding in the same voice as before. "Open the gate."

"Opening the floodgates, confirming the flow of power to all parts of the laminate armor, fuel injector, pressure nominal, confirming the separation of the APU conduit. 150... 180... External pressure at 30, FCS, all artillery banks and the levitator are online. Full gauge, opening the main gate." Maya pause as she types something on her keyboard.

"The main gate is open." Feldt confirming her report. "Removing the restraining arms."

Sumeragi nodded then give out orders. "Engine output at 20% advance slowly, after exiting the channel, surface at 30 degrees."

Zero smile back at her and give her a sharp nod. "Thank you Captain." He says, and then turns his head toward Serenity who was sitting silently on her seat with her mechanical pet, the Silver Moon Haro on her lap. "Serenity, would you do the honour?" He asks. Everyone in the room look at her, waiting for her. It was no secret that the two top officer of the Federation is related, father and daughter but still, nobody except a few chosen people know their real identity.

Serenity turns to look at her father who gave her a nod, she nod back at him before and take a deep breath. "Lunar Battleship, please take off!" Slowly but steadily, the enormous battleship start to move, finally ready to enter the heated battlefield between ZAFT and the EA.

-SPACE, METRO COLONY, SPACE SHUTTLE STATION-

Alex patiently looks around the busy street filled with people walking around, looking for any sign for his long brunette haired male cousin. He looks at his watch for the third time after his arrival fifteen minutes ago and let out a frustrated sigh. "Where is he? He's late. Maybe I should call him…" He thought and brought out his cell phone and was about to call the boy when he hear a familiar voice call his name.

"ALEX!"

Say the blonde turn around and saw Kirae walks toward him with a small girl with light blue-hair, wearing a one piece dress with long ribbon and large, stunning pink-magenta eyes that just shines with innocent and naivety. When they reach him, Kirae smile at him and quickly apologize. "Hey, sorry for being late. Alex, I want to introduce you to Iris, Iris meet Alex, my friend." He says while introducing Iris and Alex to one another.

Nodding to the boy, Iris smile sweetly while introducing herself. "Hi, I'm Iris."

"I'm Alex; it's nice to meet you." Alex smiles back at her and can't help thinking how cute the girl looks. "Wow, she's so cute! Almost as cute as Lian and that's something because she's the cutest girl I ever meet." Acting like he always does when meeting a cute or beautiful girl, he reaches for the girl hand but when his hand touches her's, he fell a negative flow of energy coming from the girl, making him stop almost immediately.

Inside her head, a voice whispers. "This aura…it's powerful but not as powerful as the other one but his is more dangerous than him… Who are they? Why do they possessed such a powerful energy?" Even thought Iris didn't actually hear the voice, but her Extended instinct told her to break their contact and get away from the boy which she did.

As Iris remove her hand from his and took a step backward, Alex can't help but to stare at her. "What is that feeling? Who is she?" He asks himself and just stare at her, making Iris stare back at him.

Feeling the intensity between them, Kirae put his hand on Alex's shoulder. "Alex?" He calls his name, making the fake brunette snap out from his trance and face him. "Did he felt it too?" He wonders when he notice the almost-scare look on in his eyes.

"Y-Yeah?" Alex stutter, not notice how his voice is slightly shaking. But Kirae notice this but decided not to say anything about it, for now.

Suddenly, a ringing tone broke the tense atmosphere between the three teenagers. Noticing the ringing tone coming from her bag, Iris quickly open it and took out her pink cell phone and answer it immediately when she notice who the caller is. "Hello? Sean?"

"Iris? Where are you?"

"I'm at the station already, at the front gate. You did say that we should meet here, right? Where are you then?"

"I already inside, at the cafeteria. Paul already left. Stay there, I'm coming for you."

"No, there's no need. I know where it is. Just wait for me there, alright? I'll be there shortly."

"Oh, alright then. Hurry up, ok."

"Kay…" With that she ended the call and places it back inside her bag before looking at the two male in front of her. She looks briefly at Alex before shifting her gaze torward Kirae. "Kirae…" She hesitates.

Noticing her discomfort, he smiles at her. "Is that your friend that you suppose to meet here?" He asks the girl nod slowly. "Is he here? Where is he then?" He asks again.

"…At the cafeteria." She answers slowly while looking away, wondering why she suddenly fell sad even thought a few minutes earlier she was on high alert. "What's wrong with me? Why do I fell this way?"

Kirae nod and turn to look at Alex, he notices the boy is still staring at Iris with a calculative expression. Calling his name again to get the boy attention, which he succeeds. "Alex, why don't you go ahead and buy our tickets."

Raising one of his eyebrows, he answers. "Sure, but what about you?"

"I'm going to accompany Iris to the Cafeteria to meet her friend. I meet you later at the platform, kay?" He gives the boy a look that clearly says that he won't take a 'No' for an answer. Sighing, Alex nod before walking away and tell him to hurry. With Alex leaving them, Kirae turn back at Iris who look is looking at him with a surprise expression. "Come on, let's get going." He says with a smile.

Smiling brightly, she nod her head and walk beside him. As the main door automatically open on its own, she reach for Kirae's hand and hold it. Kirae look at her, she give him a shy smile with a slight red blush on her snow white natural face. Kirae smile approving at her before walking forward, with his hand joining with hers.

The two of them walk in silence, enjoying each other company and warmth that radiance from the other's hand. After a while, they finally reach the cafeteria. The place was huge, but at the moment, there are not too many people around. Only a couple of people seem to be taking a rest at the place, making the place look nice and quite. Iris looks around and spots Sean and Paul standing in front of the thick-glass window that shows them the dark space outside. "Come on, this way." Iris told Kirae and lead the way toward her two friend and teammates.

"Sean!"

Sean raises his head when he hears Iris's childish voice calling his name. When he saw Iris coming toward them, hand in hand with a stranger, he can't help but to stare at them in surprise. Unlike the others, Sean had known Iris since their days at the EXTENDED faculty, he knows that Iris is not the type that warm up to others quickly but here she is with a guy that… that make her smile. He blinks, and blinks again until the two of them standing four feet apart from each other.

"Kirae, this is Sean. Sean, this is Kirae!" She introduces the two boys to one another.

Kirae nod at him with a smile gracing on his lips. Although he looks calm, inside he can practically hear all of his senses when on alert. He look at Sean and knows that he also hold a powerful and dangerous aura, although not as strong as Iris, but still dangerous. Neither less, he kept on smiling. "It's nice to meet you, I'm Kirae."

But before Sean can say anything, Iris bounce at him and hold his arm, smiling happily at him. Her action causes Sean to smile at her while Kirae blink at them. Seeing her cheerful face, Kirae can't help but to be disappointed. "I see…" He thought to himself as Iris once again introduces him to Sean.

"I see, thank you for helping Iris out. The name's Sean, it's nice to meet ya." He say with a small smile before turn to look at Iris. "Come on Iris, we got to go." He says while giving the girl the look which she immediately understands, their job.

Hearing this, Iris let go of his hand, a frown now decorating her face. "I understand." She says with a low voice. She turns to look at Kirae and give him a sad smile. "I got to go now…"

"I know..." He says, like Iris, his voice is also low and he gives the girl a sad smile. "I hope we can meet again after this."

Hearing this, the girl raises her head and stares at him. "Y-you want to meet with Iris again?" she asks, referring herself as the third person. When Kirae gave her a much brighter smile and a nod, without thinking and without knowing why, Iris embrace him, shocking both Kirae and Sean.

A minute pass before Iris let him go, a beautiful smile decorating her face; eyes shines with happiness that made Kirae froze. "I also want to meet with you again, Kirae…" she says before turning to face Sean and ask him. "Can I?"

Seeing her looking like that, he knows that it is possible for him to deny that request. Also, parts of him agree because he wants Iris to smile genuinely like that always. He knows all the suffering, the struggle, the fight and the loneliness that she faces through. Knowing that someone out there can bring out Iris real smile is truly a bless. For him, the girl deserve someone who truly care for her, even if that person is a stranger, even if that person might hate her if he find out her true identity, he still want the smile on her face to remain as long as possible. "Even if it only for a little time, I want her to be happy…" Smiling at her, he says. "Of course. Just give him your number so that you guys can still keep in contact."

Nodding at his idea, both Kirae and Iris exchange their phone number and mail. After they done, Sean and Iris excuse themselves and walk away. But after taking a few steps, Iris stop, runs back to Kira and give him a shy peek on his cheeks with result a blush on the brunette face. "Thank you for the date Kirae, I really enjoy it. I guess I see you later then." She says before run toward Sean and walk away together.

Kirae touch his cheeks where Iris kisses it. Letting out a smile on his own, he turns around and murmur to himself. "Yeah, see you later, Iris."

Neither one of the three soldier notice a man dress in black looking at them. The man lowered his sunglass, raveling his purple eyes. "I see, this is getting more interesting." He let out a small chuckle, making his bodyguard turn to face him.

"Is something wrong, Master Carnad?" The girl, C.C asks.

"Nothing, everything is just fine. Perfectly fine." He put back his sunglass as his eyes follow the boy movement toward another boy with short brunette hair that look fairly familiar to him. His eyes focus on the two boys before he let out a wide victorious smile. "I finally found you, Kirae, Alex."

Kirae turn around as if he hears somebody calls his name. He looks up at the top floor of the five-floor building only to find it empty. His eyes narrow, he knows somebody was there a few seconds ago; at least, that is what his instinct told him so. Alex who was standing beside him gives him a weird look.

-A FEW DAYS LATER-

-SPACE, PLANT, THE IDOLS CONCERT-

The huge stadium was full of the sound people clapping their hand with a few people screaming and shouting, calling the name of one of the idol who had just finished his song. Say the person bow a few times before leaving the huge stage and out come the concert host from the back. The camera then focus on his face and his face appear on the huge screen behind the stage and on every television that is showing the popular reality live show.

Like others at the stadium, Lacus went along clapping her hand from the judges table. Being an ex-idol, she was one of the competition judges and knowing the famous lady, everybody knows that she would not favor her daughter, Lian on the competition. The host, Rai ask one by one the judge's opinion about the last singer. All the five judges answer according to their own opinion.

-SPACE, HELIOS BATTLESHIP-

Alex enters the ship cafeteria and saw many of the soldiers onboard the ship was there. All of them were watching the Idol's show, he look around and saw Kirae standing at the back, leading on the wall of the room with a calm face. He walks to him and lean back beside him. "Is Lian up yet?" He asks without any proper greeting.

"No, not yet. There still a couple more people before her turn." Kirae answer him, his eyes never leaving the huge screen in front of the room. When the screen suddenly focuses on Lacus, Alex glance from the corner of his eyes, watching for any sign from his friend face but there is none.

At that exact moment, the siren on the ship rings loudly on the, signaling for the upcoming battle. Kirae lifted himself from the wall he was leaning on and start running toward the pilot's station, but on the way toward the room, he stop and place his hand on his chest right where his heart are. "What the… What is this feeling?" He asks himself.

-ORB, CAFÉ NEAR THE OCEAN-

Ann quietly watch the show with a black-raven haired girl when Marque arrive with food and drinks for both of them. Like any other of his free days, he usually spend it with Ann, but this time he have brought along his little sister, the 15 year old Mayu Asuka. She has long raven hair that she tie at the end of her long hair with a pair of purple eyes and pale skin, wearing a sleeveless jean vest on top of a red v-neck shirt inside, with short jean skirt and a pair of matching red shoes. Like her brother, the young girl also decided to become a pilot, so at a young age, she had enter the military training faculty and now she is at the top of her class (also like Marque) and the youngest girl in her class.

"Thank you big brother." The young girl say as her older brother place her food and drink in front of her. She was having a fries and milkshake. Marque just nod at her before handing Ann her food, a beef kebab and orange juice.

"Thanks."

Again, the black haired pilot nod his head and sit down with his food in front of him, he was having a hamburger and coke. After settling down, his eyes shift to the television screen at the front of the café that was also showing the Idol's show.

"So when Lian's turn?" He ask while taking a fries from Mayu's plate. He was wearing a tight red shirt without sleeve with black bold letter, a black loose baggy pants with red string, a pair of white sneakers and a long arm-cover on his left arm while his right arm was left bare.

"Not too long, they still got three or two more people before her." Ann answers while holding down her cap when the winds blew. She was wearing a high collar up sleeveless white shirt with yellow knee length jean, a pair of white sneakers, loose yellow polka-dots socks, a back tight belt and a matching pair of black glove that wasn't covering all of her finger with a green ribbon on her left arm. With her looking like that, nobody can guess that the Blondie is actually the famous country heir.

Marque glance at her before looking back at the screen, his hand move to grab the fries on her sister plate again. Truth to be say, he prefer practicing his shooting skill than watching the show, but he knows that his childhood friend want to watch it and she not allow to do so at her house, or to be more specific, Cagali's forbid her to watch the show in their house, so she do the other alternatives way, by watching it outside.

Now Marque is no idiot, he knows that Ann and Cagali had issue, and he knows what it is. He know that it is somehow connected to Cagali's twin brother, Kira's death along with Chris's death and Alex's disappearance. He knows it all and he can't help feeling sorry for Ann, but really the girl didn't have to keep it all lock up. Sure she sometimes told him, but not everything. Ann is the type of girl that keeps something to herself. Sighing, he focuses his eyes at the screen as the next contestance start singing.

-SPACE, LEGOLAS BATTLESHIP-

Paul, Sean, Gunter, Croat and Iris activate their Gundam inside the ship. All of the Gundam color comes to life as its eyes flashes. All of their communication screen open up and showing the face of their ship C.I.C operator, Sara. "Guys, I will repeat the plan again before we begin, alright?" She asks.

Croat growl at her. "Then be quick about it!" he snap at her, making the girl flinch. Paul just shakes his head before telling the girl to go ahead.

"A-alright. As we all know, the shuttle that we targeting is transporting several member of ZAFT council, our order is to attack and capture them, but if fail, then immediately kill them. What makes this mission difficult is that they are protected by ZAFT battleship, the HELIOS. We don't have much info about this ship so we better be careful. The Nightmare team will lead the attack at exactly 21.00. Team A, lead by Paul will attack the shuttle straight, team B will be lead by Gunter will provide cover for team A. meanwhile Sean will lead team C and to attack any MS that coming from Lunar alongside with Croat, Iris will be provide backup if anything goes wrong, but until then, she will be in team B with Croat. Is that clear?" She ask.

"Yes." They answer simularitorisly.

Iris was about to head out when Sean contact her. "Iris, be careful out there alright."

"Don't worry about it. I'm used to this." She says, her face was devoid from any emotion. Seeing this, Sean decided not to say anything because he also knows the girl legend as the battlefield 'Siren'.

"You may take off whenever you are ready." Sara says again.

"Alright, I will go first. Paul Huygens, RUDE, I'm off."

"I'm next. Gunter McKeon, SHOOTER, so long"

"Whatever…Croat Melvin, RAGE, off"

"Sean Augustus, HUNTER, I'm going out"

Taking a deep breath, Iris slowly opens her emotionless, dull and cold magenta pink eyes. "Iris Al-Crawford, HUNTRESS, eliminating target."

The black-light pink Gundam flew to the dark space, it's bright pink eyes flashes as Iris took control of the machine and flew forward, toward the ZAFT carriers which include two class type space battle-ship, a shuttle and the HELIOS Battleship. She watches as Gunter's Gundam, SHOOTER took out its long distance beam cannon, point it at one of the ship and fire at it. The yellow beam flew straight at it target and hit one of the battle-class ship, making it explode before they can even do anything.

She watches the incident silently, not noticing her fingers that slowly tighten around the controllers. She hears Paul order telling all units in Team A and C to attack. Her hand slowly moving to her heart. "What is this feeling?" She murmurs to herself. Floating at the back, she waits for her turn to enter the battlefield.

-SPACE, HELIOS BATTLESHIP-

Kirae was entering his Gundam when a loud explosion shocks the whole ship. He hear the shout people says that one of the battle-class ship was fired at long distance, making him flinch. He quickly activates his suit and start up the system. Alex image appear on the communication screen. "Kirae."

"Yeah, I hear. We have to hurry Alex; I don't want anyone else getting hurt." The brunette said, eyes shining with determination.

"Yeah, me too. I have to tell you this thought, it's the same ship that attacks Metro Colony, so be extra careful Kirae." With that, he closes the link.

"I thought so…" Closing his cockpit door, the Gundam's color come to live.

"Kelly, Bruce, you two will provide cover for the ship. Dylan, Alex and Kirae will stop the enemy from getting closer from the shuttle, Understood?" Lindsay, the ship CIC operator told them, getting a positive respond from everyone of the pilot. "The door is open, Pilots, you are ready to launch!"

"Roger. Kelly Waltfeld, LIGHTNING, moving out!"

"Bruce Jule, RADAR 01, take out"

"Dylan Sylvester, THUNDER, out"

"Alex Waltfeld, KNIGHT, take off"

"Kirae Clyne, FIGHTER, mission accepted."

His white-blue colored Gundam twirl a few time before its golden eyes shine as Kirae took control over it. He scan the battle scene, watching the remains bits of the earlier destroyed float around. Tighten his hand on the handle, he look around and spotted HUNTER destroying a Zaku suit. "That Gundam…"

Sean had also spotted FIGHTER after finishing off the Zaku suit. "That Gundam…"

-Flashback-

He was just safely made it out from the burning Metro Colony with Ann when the alarm inside the ship beeping like crazy. Hearing Ann's warning, his hands quickly press the keyboard of the main computer, searching for any weapon, he found the MS Armor Schneider Combat Knives, take it out and block the attack from HUNTER, then he kick the left side of HUNTER, making the MS flew a few meter away.

Sean try to stabilize his MS after the kick by pressing the pedal and did it, he look at the MS. "This guy, he is no ordinary pilot, I better be careful."

After telling Ann to hold on to something, he looks around the space and saw a bean sabers floating next to him, then quickly flew to it.

Realize his enemy attention, HUNTER tries to fly pass by him but it was too late, FIGHTER already reach the sabers and now facing him

"Hey you!" Kirae voice appears on Sean telecommunication radio. "I don't want to fight you or even hurt you, please let us go." He asks.

Sean open the link, replying. "I can't, first is because you is a ZAFT soldier, second is because you are driving that MS." With that he charge forward and swings his sabers

Kirae bloc it and scream. "I not a ZAFT soldier! I'm only a civilian on PLANT and the reason why I'm driving this MS is because you guys attack the colony!"

"What? You not a….soldier?"

The two sabers beam were lifted from one another, Sean look at the white-blue Gundam in front of him, wondering what he should do. "But still, even though you're not a soldier, you still a Coodinator, and for that…" Revealing the machine gun on his Gundam's head, he fires it at the surprise boy. Kirae flew back, seeing this as an opening, Sean charge at him. He swing his saber beam at the other Gundam, realizing this, Kirae lifted his own saber beam and block the attack. The spark on their sabers capture everyone attention.

-Another Flashback (But still the same battle)-

3 lights came out of LEGOLAS, Paul, Gunter, Croat and Sean stop fighting, and so are the rest of EA'S. Every EA's suit started to head back, except for Croat and Sean. Croat stares angrily at THUNDER and LIGHTING in front of him, then at FIGHTER who already stop fighting with HUNTER,

"Just wait; I kill the both of you one day, for sure." Croat say, RAGE turns and flees toward the waiting LEGOLAS, leaving HUNTER the only one left.

Sean and Kirae stare at each other MS. Kirae was the first one that spoke. "You better go before they capture you."

His word making Sean freeze in his seat but he manage to reply back. "You too, don't let me capture you in that MS or, I will defiantly kill you the next time we meet." Then he flies away

"Next time, huh?" Kirae thought.

-End of Flashback-

"Is it him?" Sean thought.

Both suit take out their saber beam and charge at each other. Their sabers beam clashes, both trying to outdone each other but then Sean once again take out the head machine gun and aim it at FIGHTER, seeing this, Kirae gave a final push at him and take out his shield to cover himself from the bullets. During that moment, the raven haired EA soldier opens the radio link to the other Gundam. "Oi, are you the one from the Metro Colony?" He asks.

Kirae was taken back by the question, but keep quite as he take out a riffle gun and shot him, but all of his shots miss as it was expertly dodge by the other. Taking this as a yes, Sean yells angrily at the link. "It is you! You said that you're not a soldier so what the hell are you doing piloting a ZAFT MS?"

"This guy…" Kirae thought while putting away the riffle and rook out one beam sabers, charging at the black MS. Sean block it with his own beam sabers but he was taken by surprise when Kirae suddenly take out another sabers with the suit other arm, successfully made a cut like scan at the suit shoulder piece and kick the other suit away from him. As Sean struggle to maintain control of the suit, Kirae reply. "I had no excuse to say about that, yes, I'm used to be just a civilians at PLANT but things had change since the day you attack the colony."

-Flashback-

Justin black bangs cover his eyes. "Tell me Kirae, is it true? Is it true that you were piloting one of the ZAFT MS when the EA attacks the Metro Colony?" He asks while he slowly removes Kirae hand off his shoulder.

Kirae were kind of surprise with the question, but nodded. "Yes, I did. If only I act sooner, then maybe…" He didn't finish his word, he just turn his head away.

Justin hands are shaking, he looks at Kirae, and anger fills his grey eyes. "You're right, you damn right it is! If only you act sooner, then Mack will still be alive. You want to know why he is dead, his dead because of you!" He shouted at Kirae, Kirae looks confuse, Lian was scare, she try to go near Kirae but Alex stops her.

"That time, when you're were separated from us, he decided to go back and to look for you, I try to stop him, but he won't listen! Then suddenly, the wall fall and hit him, right in front of my eyes…. If only he didn't turn back, if only he didn't try to look for you, if only you act sooner, then Mack will still, he would still be alive!" Then without any warning, he punches Kirae on his left cheek, making the brunette hair boy fall on his back.

"Brother!" Lian shouted, she immediately go to Kirae's side. "Brother, are you okay?" She asks and she saw Kirae's eyes widen with shock, she felt sorry for his brother. She turns to the older boy in front of her. "How could you do that? He is your friends, isn't he? So why did you attack him?"

"Friend? That guy? The only reasoned why I was nice to him is because he is the son of Kira Yamato and Lacus Clyne! I though he was the same as his parents, but no! He just a coward! Because of that, I lost my best friend! Why didn't you fight like your father Kirae? Why did you hide the fact that you were that son of the legendary fighter, Kira Yamato? Why didn't you enter ZAFT and protect us all!" Justin shouted, his word makes Kirae eyes even wider than his eyes become sad.

"If this the way you acted like Kirae, then you doesn't fit to become his son!"

-End of Flashback-

"I had the power to protect those who are importance to me but I didn't use it, and in the end, I lost the people that are importance to me, all because I was scare, selfish and stupid. I don't want to make the same mistake again; I want to protect the people who are importance to me. Therefore, I will fight; I will fight in order to protect them. I will protect them all no matter what!" An image a smiling Iris appear in his head, followed by his mother and Lian, Ann, Alex, Justin and Mack, his friends on board the HELIOs, a four year old Lara and finally his father. With that determination, he charges at the black MS.

Sean try his best to compete with the newly determine Kirae, but even with his history of skilled pilot can't even match up with Kirae's skill. The boy manages to dodge all of his attack, counter him and eventually almost manage to beat him. He was force back when Kirae blow off his riffle gun, making him close his eyes because of the impact. "SEAN!" He immediately opens his eyes when he hears a voice calling his name. Turning around, he saw HUNTRESS charging forward him. At that very moment, the FIGHTER appears from the smoke and charge at him with two beam sabers at hand.

Quickly, he took out the HUNTER special Hunter Bow Riffle Gun, aiming it at the white-blue suit and quickly fire. Hundreds of yellow colored beams come out from the gun toward the surprise Kirae. To say that the boy was surprise was clearly understandable, sensing it was too late to avoid the beam, Kirae try to shield himself from the beam when a shadow appear in front of him and a large shield appear, giving the two machine enough cover from the rains of the beams.

"Sean, are you alright?" Iris asks when she reaches the boy and open the communication link. She was surprise to see Sean was practically out of breath and was taking a few deep breaths to calm himself down.

"Yeah…" He says before taking one last long breath. Both NIGHTMARE pilot watches as the shield disappear from sight, reveling two Gundams, KNIGHT and FIGHTER.

"Kirae, are you alright?" Alex asks as he open their communication link.

"Yeah, thanks for the cover." He say while moving his gaze at the two enemy Gundam in front of him, but without knowing why, his gaze was mostly focused at the newly arrival black-pink MS, the HUNTRESS. He lifted his arm from the suit handle and places it on top of his heart. "Why is it beating so fast? What is this feeling?"

Inside her cockpit, Iris's hands also moved to her heart. "My heart, it beats so fast. What is going on? And what is this feeling?" She asks herself while looking at the white-blue suit of her enemy.

-SPACE, PLANT, THE IDOL COMPETION-

"Now, the moment we had been waiting for. Let's give a huge welcome to Miss Lianette Clyne with her song, Unlimited!"

As the crowd cheer loudly, a lone figure walk on the stage elegantly, wearing a one piece sleeveless knee-length baby blue dress, with darker blue ribbon tie around her tiny waist with the same blue colored glove and heels, her hair was tie to the back of her head with dark blue ribbon in a low ponytail with no trace of makeup on her naturally pretty face, except for a light pink lip-gloss. Lian face the audience, her face was calm and gentle, smiling gently, she place the microphone at her lips and opens her mouth.

(If anyone want to listen to this song while reading the story, try searching for it at Youtube. At the bottom Author Note, I left a link to the song so try open it up. It's the opening song of the Anime Samurai 7, Unlimited. The song is really good! By the way, like always, the scene will mix at here so try to catch up)

Deai ha arashi no youni otozurete, watashi no kokoro kaete shimau (Our encounter comes like a storm changing my heart)

Isshoni ireba nanimo kowakunai, kono sekai no owari sae (If we're together, I'm not afraid of anything even the end of the world)

The music starts while colorful beams of stage lights shoot everywhere, making the crowd turns wild. Who will ever thought that a small, shy girl likes her is singing a brave high-note love song? Lacus look surprise herself but a smile made it way at her face, rather proud at Lian for making such a bold but beautiful song.

Wakari aeru koto mo wakachi au koto mo utakata no youni (We're able to understand each other and to share with each other like bubbles)

Toki no suna ni magire tsukami kirenai to akirameteta anata ni au made ha (Obscured by the sands of time unable to hold on I gave up 'till I saw you again, asking)

Looking at her audience, she held out her hand as if she was asking them a question from her next line.

"Dore kurai itami wo hitori de kakaete kite tano? ("How much pain have you been carrying all alone?)

Dore kurai sabashisa hitomi ni kakushite hohoen dano?" (And how much loneliness is hidden behind your eyes when you smile?")

Ann moves her body forward, lifting both of her hands at the table, lacing it together and place her head on top of it. Her eyes stay glue at the screen, watching Lian singing the song, a small smile appear on her face. But although the smile was sweet, for Marque, who had always watch her, the smile look sad and never seems to reach her eyes.

Deai no kiseki wo ima dakishimete, mitsume attara tsuyoku nareru (Embrace this miracle of an encounter now by gazing upon each other we can become stronger)

Kore wo ai to yobanai tosuru nara, ima dore wo ai to yobu no? (And if this isn't what you call love then, what is it you call love now?)

"Iris." Sean's voice made the small girl snap out of her trance, her hand moves from her heart and landed on the control of the suit. "Are you alright?"

Looking back at the white-blue Gundam, the blue haired girl nod her hear and her eyes turn cold again. "Sean, I'll handle the blue Gundam, you take care of the other."

"What? I…" Sean try to resist but a sharp glare from the cold pink-magenta eyes stop him.

"You are in no position to deny me, obviously you not strong enough to handle him so let me handle it. After all, I am the siren of the battlefield." With that, she immediately takes out her riffle and shoot at the two ZAFT's Gundam, making them fly away separately. Taking this chance, Iris took out HUNTRESS's saber beam ad charge at Kirae.

Already seeing this coming, Kirae quickly block it with his own saber beam. The hand that earlier on his heart mover toward the suit controller as he took control of his suit. At that moment, both ignoring the fast beating of their heart and the ache in it.

"Kimi ga omou youna hito dehanai ga mo boku ha shirenakute" ("Maybe you're not the person I thought you were")

Sore demo kimeta no ha kono omoi no mama eranda koto ni nanimo kuihanai (But it was this love that called the shots I don't regret the choices I made)

Lian throw her other free hand, eyes looking at her audience, hoping that somehow what she trying to tell reach the listener of her song.

Kono mama de jikan ga tomareba fuan mo nai noni (Time could stop right now and I would feel no anxiety)

kono mama de, ude no naka eien sagashite hitomi wo tojita (Like this, in your arms I closed my eyes and searched for eternity)

The two Gundams exchange one by one hits of their sabers, each trying to outdone each other but as the battle goes on, the ache in their heart become more and more intense and as their hearts beats faster, they both remembers the earlier day they spend each other.

Smiling, laughing and enjoying each other company, both wanted to go through it again, wanted to experience it again but without knowing that the person that they fight at that very moment is actually the very person that they wanted to meet the most.

"Kirae…" Iris thought.

"Iris…" Kirae thought.

With that, they charge at each other with one thing in mind. "I want to survive; I want to live…So that I can meet her/him again!" They thought at the same time.

Deai ha mahou no youni isshun de mune no itami mo keshite shimau (Like magic, meeting you erased all the pain from my heart)

Kore wo unmei to yobanai tosureba ima, dore wo unmei to yobu no? (If you don't call this destiny then what do you call destiny?)

Deai no kiseki wo ima dakishimete mitsume attara tsuyoku nareru (Embrace this miracle of an encounter now by gazing upon each other we can become stronger)

Kore wo ai to yobanai tosuru nara ima, dore wo ai to yobu no? (And if this isn't what you call love then, what is it you call love now?)

as the song ended, Lian receive an enormous claps and cat-calls from the audience. The girl was panting slightly with a huge smile decorating her face, obviously satisfy with her performance. The competition host, Rai come forward her. "That's was amazing Miss Lian. Do tell us, what encourage you to sing that song?"

Smiling at him, the girl answer. "I don't exactly know really, but I guess, that song was the only one that can describe what am I feeling right now."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Well… my mother once told me that we can describe our feeling though our song. Hmm, I guess what I'm trying to say is that nobody can know what the future can lead us, nobody can guess what exactly can happen tomorrow or the day after that. This song, Unlimited, as we all know is a love song that says that love, fate and destiny can go far beyond our reach, people can fall in love in one moment then hating one another next, but by accepting each other, it can look past each other weakness and fault, we can't guess what will happen next but for the time being, we can we can try to understand love by loving one another because love is after all, Unlimited." With that, a beautiful smile endorsing her face and once more she receive an enormous clap not only from the people from the stadium but also everywhere where people listen to her.

-SPACE, THE BATTLE-

Again, their beams meet but this time, Kirae gave an extra push to his attack, making Iris stumble backward a bit, throwing her off balance. Taking this chance to end the fight, he charge at the fallen HUNTRESS Gundam and aim his swing at the cockpit, hoping that it will end the fight, even thought he knows that means that he had to kill the person inside the suit.

So how you like it? Do you like the battle scene between Kirae and Iris? Kinda ironic because first they laughing with each other then without knowing it, they wanted to kill each other off, hmmm, but the drama is awesome (for me) and I love twist and stuff like that! Huhuhu, please get use to it becouse they going to be more stuff like that in the future.

And I know, there's too many flashback, sorry but I kinda short on idea about that. But I did edit it a bit, hehehe, well, only a bit. And I spend hours too trying to find the perfect song, so you like it. And so that you guys can understand the song better, I put the translation too so I hope it's going to be helpful. The song is really nice. Anyway, before I end this Author note, I got a question to ask.

I know that my story is kinda slow and all, so I was wondering should I make a time skip or not, you know, fasten up the story? Of course I'll tell what happen by the Character's flashback but come on, I want to get to the main part already, my hands practically itching to write the all awaited fight between Kira and Kirae (You guys do see that coming, right?) so is it ok for me to make a time skip? Please tell me in your review, I'll be waiting for it. Anyway, please Review kay! ^_^
