Chapter 12: Troubles and Reunions

ZAFT SHIP: VESALIUS

Athrun and Lacus was walking in the hallway, heading for the hangar. Both were silent, not muttering any single word during their walk from their room. Arriving at the hangar, they saw the shuttle that was waiting for Lacus, which was heading for the PLANTS to return her home. They also saw commander Rau Le Creuset, waiting for the both of them.

Seeing that Lacus has arrive, the soldiers, along with Rau, saluted, and one of the soldiers said "Ms. Lacus, we are prep and ready to launch"

Lacus smiled at the soldier and answered "Thank you. I will be there shortly"

looking at her left, she faced Rau and said "Thank you for all you have done commander Le Creuset"

Smiling at her, and keeping his salute, he said "The Cronie assured me that they will personally see to it that you return safely"

Nodding at him, she answered "Thank you. Would the Vesalius be back for the memorial?"

Looking away, he answered "I really can't say without any certainty, Ms. Lacus"

Narrowing her eyes at him, she kindly said "I understand. Military achievements are important after all. But please do not forget about the victims who lost their lives"

Smiling at her, he answered "You have my word, ms. Lacus"

Nodding at him, she looked at Athrun and said "What is it one should be fighting against? War makes that question very difficult"

Athrun looked at the ground for a moment, but nodded non-the-less, before he heard Lacus say one more thing before departing.

"Good bye, Athrun. I hope we meet again soon" said Lacus, with a smile, before going into the shuttle.

Looking at the shuttle taking off, Athrun in thought of how she said her good bye with him.

'Is it me? Or the way Lacus just said good bye to me seems a little off? And her smile is different from the last time I saw her…' thought Athrun, before he heard his commander said something to him.

"What is it should we be fighting against?" said Rau, looking at the shuttle, before looking at Athrun and added

"Did you visited Yzak already?" asked Rau.

"Yes" said Athrun, looking down at the floor.

"Which is it, would you shoot the strike down for what it did to Yzak or be shot down?" asked Rau to Athrun before floating away.

After pondering about what his commander has said to him. He searched for his friends to catch up on what he missed, after coming back from the battle. After some time, he found them at the dining hall eating their meal.

"Hey guys" said Athrun, walking up to them.

"Hey Athrun" said Nicol, eating his sandwich.

"Where were you? You missed our briefing a while ago" said Yzak, before drinking his water.

"I was with Lacus the whole time, sorry" said Athrun, while smiling at them sheepishly.

"Yeah yeah, we know. Girl problems?" asked Dearka

Athrun sighs, while running his hands on his head "Yeah. I don't know. I feel like she's a little distant with me"

"Maybe it's just the stress. It'll pass" said Dearka, leaning on his chair, while he crossed his arm on his chest.

"Yeah, you're probably right. I hope" said Athrun, before asking a question

"How did the briefing go by the way?" asked Athrun to his friends

looking at each other, Nicol was the one who answered Athrun "Well… We have reinforcements coming, and apparently the council was the one who ordered it"

"Then that's great news!" said Athrun, before Yzak cuts in.

"It get's better" said Yzak, before Dearka completed what Yzak was going to say

"The reinforcement's we are getting is the Valkyrie squadron" said Dearka

Athrun's eyes was wide as dinner plates, and to say that Athrun was surprised was an understatement.

"A-a-are you s-s-serious? Of all the people they sent for help, they chose the Valkyrie's?" said Athrun, sweating a little from the news.

"We have the same reaction when we heard the news" said Nicol.

"And their only objective, is to destroy the Black Mobile Suit. Which now it has a code name" said Yzak.

"And that is?" asked Athrun, raising an eyebrow at that.

"Black Knight" answered Dearka


Somewhere in space:

A silhouette of a ship was flying in space, heading for the Vesalius. The ship's base color is grey, while the underside, and front corner of the wings was colored in red, with blue accents on each side of the ships where a circular port can be seen. This ship is called the MSC-07 Albion. Flag ship of the Squad, Valkyrie.

"Captain Lefina. We are nearing the Vesalius, should we contact them?" said the XO of the Ship.

Lefina Enfield. Captain of the the Assault Carrier Albion. Lefina has orange hair, cyan blue eyes, porcelain skin, and sizable breast. Over all, she is a very beautiful woman. Lefina can be clumsy and somewhat "ditsy" when concerning with topics outside of her duties, but she is very kind to her crew and the Valkyrie's. She prays for them when they are in combat for their safe return She acts like a veteran when in combat and nobody knows where that comes from. She wears a white captain's uniform of ZAFT that hugged her figure tightly, accentuating her hourglass figure.

"Thank you, Eun. Please contact them immediately. And please, let the commander know as well that we are approaching the Vesalius" said the now known Lefina.

Eun Hyojin Is the second in command and the helms man of the Albion. And also, best friend's with Lefina Enfield. Eun has short green hair, she has yellow gold eyes, and porcelain skin. Same as her captain and best friend, she has also an hour glass figure. She try's to keep Lefina in check because of her clumsy and somewhat "ditsy" nature, but still respects her as her captain. She wears a black and grey commander uniform, signifying that she is the second in command.

"Yes, Captain. I'll contact her shortly" said the now known Eun.

Nodding at her best friend and giving her a smile. She then looked at her control operator and said "Ms. Charlotte, please notify the other pilots to get ready. We are approaching the Vesalius"

Charlotte Hepner. The Control operator of the Albion. She has short red hair, purple eyes, and tan skin. She's a stubborn girl but very kind when you get to know her. She has a fit body, not hitting her growth spurt yet. But still sexy in the eyes of a guy who knows how to look. She wears a green ZAFT uniform that fit her perfectly.

"Yes, Captain. Relaying the message now" said Charlotte, before pressing a button that allows her a ship wide broadcast. She said

'Attention. We are approaching the Vesalius. I repeat, we are Approaching the Vesalius. Pilots please standby at the hanger and await for the commander, She is heading down their now. Crew engineers, please prep Shuttle 1 for transport'

"Thank you. Ms Charlotte" said Captain Lefina, before smiling at her.

"You are always welcome, Captain" said Charlotte, before nodding at her captain.

"Ms. Kiki. You will be acting captain, when me, Ms. Eun and the commander, along with the rest of Valkyrie, go to the Vesalius. Is that clear?" said Lefina, looking at her head CIC operator.

Kiki Rosita. The Head CIC operator of the Albion. She is the only Natural on board the Albion. She the daughter of a guerrilla forces leader that hated the Earth Alliance. Her father and her village was destroyed by the Earth Alliance forces led by the Blue Cosmos Members but was saved by the Valkyrie's and became good friends with them. After that she joins ZAFT and the Valkyrie's took her in as their own. She has a competitive personality but, on the same time, kind. She has short orange hair that reach above her neck, has cerulean blue eyes, and porcelain skin. Like Charlotte, hasn't hit her own growth spurt yet but has fit body that likes to train on her spare time. She wears a ZAFT black Zaft uniform that also fits her body perfectly.

"Yes, Captain. Crystal clear" said the now known Kiki

"Good. Now then, if you would Eun. Let's go to the hangar and wait for the others" said Lefina to her best friend, before standing up from her chair, and walking to the door.

"Yes, Captain. Let's go" said Eun, before she too, stood from her post, and followed her captain.


Back at the Vesalius; in the bridge:

"Captain, we receive word that the Albion has arrive and the captain of the ship is requesting permission to come aboard the Vesalius" said the Control Operator of the Vesalius.

"Permission Granted. Tell the crew we are expecting guests" said the captain, before pushing a button from his console.

"Commander Le Creuset. The Valkyrie team has arrived and they are on their way here" said the Captain

"Very well, Captain. I'll meet them on the Hangar. Please contact the pilots to meet me there" said Rau to the captain.

"Yes sir" answered the captain, before ending the call. Looking at the control operator, he ordered

"Ensign. Please notify the Athrun and the others to meet Commander Le Creuset at the Hangar"

"Yes, Captain" said the control operator, before contacting the pilots.

The captain sighs before thinking to himself 'Well this is getting interesting. I wonder how will the commander feels about this sudden reinforcement'

In the Hangar:

Rau and the others are waiting for the Shuttle of the Valkyries to arrive when Nicol asked his Commander a question

"Sir, have you met the Valkyrie's yet?" asked Nicol to Rau

"I've met them actually. But only when I was in the PLANTS. They were reporting to the chairman when I saw them" Answered Rau

"Does the reports about them are really true?" asked Dearka, adding his own question of curiosity about the group.

"Well, I haven't seen them in battle yet. But captain Zelman was present in one of their missions" Said Rau, now looking at them.

"Did he tell you anything about what he saw?" asked Yzak, now interested on the conversation.

"He told me that they are the angels of death, based on what he saw that day. Their commander is known as the Red Flash and her second in command is known as the Lightning Mistress. Just the two of them, they can wipe out any enemy squadron. What he saw that day, was a massacre. even for my standards" said Rau

"What do you mean, sir?" asked Athrun, now curious of the story.

"On that day. Captain Zelman, and his fleet was surrounded on all sides by Blue Cosmos ships. When the Valkyrie team arrived, they literally annihilated the enemy fleet just on their own" said Rau, before looking back at the window, staring at the approaching shuttle.

"You got be kidding me" said Yzak, eyes wide after hearing the story.

"So, my father was really telling the truth about them" said Athrun, also widen his eyes after hearing what his commander has said.

Dearka and Nicol was silent but the look on their faces say that they are also stunned and awed on what the Valkyrie team has accomplished.

Their musings have been cut when Rau called their attention and said "It looks like our guests have arrive. Come on, let's greet them."

The four pilots could only nod at him and followed him to the hangar.

Waiting outside the shuttle, the four pilot's sans Rau. Was very nervous. It's not everyday you could meet the team that is very famous in the military.

The shuttle doors open, and the built in walk way extended for the occupants to use. After some time, twelve people came out of the shuttle to greet them.

"Greetings commander Rau Le Creuset. I'm Lefina Enfield, Captain of the Assault Carrier Albion" said Lefina, before stepping forward and offering Rau a handshake.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Captain Lefina" said Rau, accepting the handshake.

"Like wise commander" said Lefina, before gesturing the woman besides her.

"This is my Second in command, Eun Hyojin" said Lefina, introducing her Best friend and Second in command.

Saluting at Rau, she said "Commander Rau Le Creuset. It's a pleasure to meet you as well"

Nodding at her, he looked at the rest of the Valkyrie team and said "Then I guess you ten are the Valkyrie team"

Lefina nodded on what he had said, before gesturing to the person on her right and said.

"Yes, Commander. This is Luger Lugh, commander of the Valkyrie team"

Luger lugh. The youngest pilot ever to be a commander, and famously known as the Red Flash. She has long purple hair that reach to her back, has red eyes, and light tan skin. She has an hour glass body that accentuates her curves perfectly for a 16-year-old girl. Her home land is ORB but moved to PLANTS to join ZAFT with her friend Sophie Fran to fight the Earth Alliance. But mostly, Blue Cosmos. She, along with her team, are loyal to ZAFT, but more loyal to the Clyne family. She's also, Lacus's close friend. And Lugher wants a good rival to push her to her limits. She wears a ZAFT red uniform that does not hide her hour glass figure. Which is why the four G-weapon pilots were starring at her.

Walking up to him, her face still having a straight face. Before she greets him.

"Commander Rau, it's been a while since the last time I saw you" said the now known Luger Lugh.

"Well, the last time I saw you is when you were delivering your report to the supreme chairman" said Rau, while smiling at her.

Still having her straight face on. She nods at him, before she gestured to her team.

"Allow me to introduce my team" said Luger, before looking at the woman in front of her.

"This is my second in command. Sophie Fran, or if your heard of her title, the Lightning Mistress"

Sophie Fran. or the Lightning Mistress. She is the second in command of team Valkyrie. She is a good friend of Luger Lugh. Even though is older than Lugher, she still sees her as her superior on and off the battlefield. Her beauty belies a pilot of high caliber and cool headedness. She has the looks to die for, but if you face her in battle. You may find the word "Looks to die for" literally. Same as her friend and commander, she wants a good rival that can push her to her limits as well. Sophie has a long silky silver hair that reached pass her back. She has cerulean blue eyes, and perfect porcelain skin. She has a body of a super model, having an hour glass figure, with mile long legs, and sizable bust that any women would die for to have. Over all, she's a living definition of a goddess.

Walking forward, she saluted at Rau and the four pilots, before saying "Lieutenant Sophie Fran. Second in command of Valkyrie team"

Smilling at her friend, she gestured on the person next to Sophie "This is Yoko Littner, My Team's sniper"

Yoko Littner. Team Valkyrie's resident sniper. Yoko learned her sniper skills from her father, which was very good sniper in the military. Her father, a coordinator, and her mother, a natural, fell in love and live their lives with Yoko. One day, her father was killed by Blue Cosmos members and both her mother and Yoko escaping to a ZAFT controlled area and from then on, continued on with their lives. From their, she practiced on with her sniper skills. Which eventually led to her joining in ZAFT and took her skills for the military, just like her father. She eventually has been recruited by the Valkyrie team and from their, they became her family, next to her mother. Yoko has a long silky crimson hair, that reach up to her lower back. Has yellow eyes, and light tan skin. she Has a curvaceous body for a 16-year old. She wears a ZAFT red uniform, but her ZAFT uniform on her upper body was unbuttoned, showing her sizable bust that was hidden under her sports bra.

Saluting at them, she introduced herself "Yoko Littner. Scout Sniper"

Smiling at her sniper team mate, before nodding at her. She looked at the next member of team Valkyrie and introduced her to the others.

"This is Hiling Care. My artillery and long-range support" said Lugher, gesturing at Hiling Care

Hiling Care. the ever so trigger happy long-range support. She likes to flirt with people sometimes, and likes to tease her team mates or others just to get a rise out of them. But when she doesn't flirt, she can really get serious and likes to lick her lips a lot when fighting someone very skilled. Hiling has a short shaggy green hair, purple eyes, and porcelain skin. Unlike her commander, Sophie, and Yoko, she is petite but has that appeal of sexiness radiating off her. she wears a ZAFT red uniform, which you can't distinguished if he's a guy or not.

Walking up to them, she saluted and said "Hiling Care, long-range specialist" before licking her lips.

The four G-weapon pilots sweat drop, and surprisingly, even Rau sweat drop at that.

Shaking her head, Luger allowed a small smile crept on her lips on her comrade's antics, before gesturing on another member of her team.

"Meilan Long, my teams close quarter specialist"

Meilan long. The close quarter master, and the ever so stoic person on the team. She is the heiress to the Long family that deals with new mobile suit designs. She loves to fight in close quarter combat so much that non-ever did stand in her way, comes out alive. If someone defeats her, she will see that man to be strong and has the right to sire her children. Wanting to have strong kids in her family and for also, to run her family business. She is very loyal and a strong follower of her code of honor and doesn't like dishonorable acts. She has long a long raven colored hair that reach pass her shoulders. The hair ties up in the middle, that separates it into two. She has black eyes, and light tan skin. Like Hiling, she is petite but her appeal screams like of a warrior. Like the others, she wears also the ZAFT red uniform. Which she looks like a man.

Stepping forward, she saluted and said with an even tone in her voice "Meilan Long, CQC specialist"

Nodding at her, she gestured for the next one to come up in front.

"This is Marida Cruz, our multipurpose fighter"

Marida Cruz. The team's own all around fighter. She's an orphan coordinator that Siegel Clyne found on the streets. He took her in but never adopted her in the family. She's been called the guardian of Lacus, because of her protective nature. She has also a special ability like a sixth sense, the allows her great control on any machine and weapon she can get herself on to. She has a long orange hair that reach pass her shoulder, violet eyes, and porcelain skin. Unlike her peers, she has a normal body of an 18-year old. She wears a ZAFT red uniform also.

Walking up in front, she saluted and said with a straight face "Lieutenant Marida Cruz. Multipurpose fighter"

Sighing at herself, she would talk to her about her people talking skills when they are alone. Moving on, she gestured for the person next to Marida to come forward

"This is Soma Peries, my hit and run specialist"

Soma Peries. The team's most kept guarded secret. She's an orphan like Marida, and also was taken in by Siegel Clyne when he found them both. But later found out that she was an ultimate coordinator when Siegel have them both take a blood test. Siegel kept her status hidden as an ultimate coordinator. Only her team and a select few, know about her status. She is very loyal and follow orders to the letter. Soma has long white hair that reach up to her back. Has gold eyes, and light tan skin. Out of all of them, she was the shortest of them all. She wears a ZAFT red uniform also.

Walking up to them, she saluted like a fresh graduate of the academy and said, "Lieutenant Soma Peries, at your service sir"

Like Marida, she sighs at her antics as well and made a mental note to talk to her as well later. She looked at the next member and called for her to come forward

"This is Aina Sahalin, Hiling's support"

Aina Sahalin. She is the heiress of the Sahalin family and the last living family member. her older brother died in Junius Seven and she hated Blue Cosmos with a passion. Her family business is to develop new weapons and engine cores for Mobile suits. She cares for others and her team, and wants to find the special someone to settle down with, even if he's a Natural and help her with the family business. Aina has short light blue hair that reach above her neck. Has black eyes, and tan skin. She has also an hour glass figure but a little more petite, rather than Sophie and Luger's body. She wears a ZAFT red uniform that hugs her body tightly.

She walks up to them, and saluted before saying "Aina Sahalin, Support unit for Hiling" said Aina with a smile.

Smiling at her, she gestured for the second to the last to walk up in front.

"This is my heavy weapons specialist. Alisa Llinichina Amiella"

Alisa Amiella. Just like Yoko, with her happy and caring attitude and very loyal to her team. Both her parents died in Junius Seven when she was station elsewhere. She like's Mini guns, Gatling guns, and blowing things up when she was little, but not harming others. Alisa has a long silky silver hair that reach pass her shoulder. She has blue eyes, and perfect porcelain skin. Like Sophie, has a body of a super model. Which was very surprising, knowing she's only sixteen-year-old. She wears a ZAFT red uniform that was unbutton, revealing a sleeve less shirt underneath that shows much of her mid riff and underboobs. To which the four G-weapon pilots, was having a hard time to fight the nose bleed that's threatening to burst from their noses.

Seeing that the four was blushing hard at Alisa. She glared at them to straighten up, before gesturing the last member of the Valkyrie team.

Still glaring at them, she said "This is Shiho Hahnenfuss, our newest member of the team."

Shiho Hahnenfuss. She became the new recruit of the Valkyrie team and everyone calls her newbie, but they care for her and made her part of their family. Her roommate Hiling Care likes to tease her sometimes because of her secret crush she has on Nicol but she knows she just playing around. She is very loyal to her team and now she sees they're point of view on things and doesn't hate all Natural's just Blue Cosmos. Shihio has a long brown hair that reached upto her lower back. She has purple eyes and porcerlain skin. She has a fit body that emits sexiness when you look at her. she wears a ZAFT red uniform also.

Walking up in front, she blushes when she saw Nicol was staring at her, before she saluted and introduced herself "I'm Shiho Hahnenfuss. It's a pleasure to meet all of you" said Shiho, looking away slightly, which Hiling caught and smiled mischievously. Knowing she has another teasing material for Shiho later.

"Well, it's a pleasure to meet you all" said Rau, saluting to them.

"We as well, Commander" said Sophie, before gesturing the team to be at ease.

"This is my team, Athrun Zala, Nicol Amalfi, Dearka Elsman, and Yzak Joule"

"Hello" said Athrun with a nod.

"Hey" said Nicol with a wave of his hand.

"Sup" said Dearka.

"…" Yzak couldn't mutter a word, but could only nod at them

"So, shall we go? We have a briefing in 20 minutes" said Rau, before motioning them to follow him.

"We know commander. We have one objective and one objective only; the destruction of Black knight" said Luger, while following him.

"Yes, I've been inform of that. Rest assured this is just a joint operation between us. We aren't going to stand in your way" said Rau

"Good" said Luger, before they arrive at the briefing room and they entered.


At the Archangel:

Naruto just arrived at the Archangel with Kira in tow. After they have docked their mobile suits, they were greeted by their friends in the hangar.

"Kira! Naruto!" shouted Kuzzey with a wave

"Hey guys, what's up?" said Kira, walking up to them with Naruto.

"We're finally with the 8th fleet! We can now return to our families" said Tolle

"Yeah! And I heard we're going down on earth" said Kuzzey

"What about the other civilians?" asked Kira

"They too will go down to earth with a shuttle. We are going with them actually" said Sai

"Then that's great!" answered Kira

"What about you Naruto? Aren't you going with us?" asked Miriallia

"Me? I'll pass, I'll stay here. They need the extra help and besides, I don't have anyone other than myself" answered Naruto with a smile, before he was approached by a soldier.

"Mr. Uzumaki! Mr. Yamato! The captain requests both of your presence at the second hangar with your friends" said the soldier, before he excused himself and floated away.

"Well that's our que to go" said Naruto, before he as well floated away

The five friends were silent. Pondering what has Naruto have said to them, before they followed Naruto to the second hangar. Little do they know that, what Naruto have said, will change their lives forever.

Arriving at the second hangar, Naruto approached Murrue, Natarle, and Mu, along with the rest of the crew of the Archangel.

"Captain, what can I do for you?" Said Naruto with grin, teasing Murrue a little, before standing by Natarle's side and winking at her. Earning himself a blush from the beautiful ensign.

Seeing the wink, he gave at Natarle. Murrue frowned, before saying "Well, Admiral Halberton is on his way here to see the ship, and we would like you to meet him" said Murrue, still having a frown on her face.

Raising an eyebrow at her frown. He shrugged before he said, "Okay then"

'What the hell did I do to earn that frown? And why is the name Halberton sounds familiar?' thought Naruto, before his attention was called by Natarle when a Shuttle is docking in front of them.

'I should talk to Murrue after this' thought Naruto, before he saw the shuttle doors open and out came Admiral Duane Halberton.

'He looks very familiar. I don't know where and when I saw him' thought Naruto again, before everybody saluted at the man he heard the Admiral said something

"You know, when I first heard about the collapse of Heliopolis, I was convinced that was the end. What a joy it is to see you people here" said Admiral Halberton

"You do us a tremendous honor. It's a pleasure to see you again sir" said Murrue, while Saluting

Returning the salute, he said "I was bit worried when I was informed that you were engaged at a battle earlier. Is everyone alright?" asked Admiral Halberton, looking at the crew, before resting his gaze at Naruto, giving him a nod.

Naruto raised an eyebrow at the nod, but returned the nod non-the-less.

Walking up in front, Natarle and Mu introduced themselves

"Ensign Natarle Badgiruel" said Natarle, saluting at the Admiral

"Lieutenant Mu La Flaga, of the 7th Orbital Fleet" said Mu, saluting as well at the Admiral

Hearing their introductions, he gave them his full attention and said

"Ah, we are fortunate indeed that we have you with us" said Admiral Halberton, shaking Mu's hand.

"Well, just wish that I could have been more of service" said Mu

Looking at the new faces at the back, he said "Oh, and who do we have here?" asked the Admiral

"These are the students from Heliopolis. They've been helping with the operation of the ship" said Murrue, before the Admiral, floated to them.

"We've done some checking on the families of each one of you. And everyone is safe" said the Admiral, earning him the happy smiles and sighs of relief from them.

"We like to extend our gratitude for your assistance during this crisis. And I like to add my thanks as well" said Admiral Halberton, before his second in command whispered to him "Uhmm sir, we don't have much time"

Frowning at him, the admiral said "Right" before looking back at the students, saying "I'd be delighted if later we have the opportunity to seat down and get everyone to have a talk" before floating away with Murre, Mu, Natarle, and Naruto. Which was being dragged by Natarle by the hand.


Back at the Vesalius:

Rau and Luger's team were having a meeting at one of the briefing rooms. Their topic? The Black Mobile Suit.

"So, commander Rau. Anything you like to share about the Black knight?" asked Luger to the other commander.

Nodding at her. Rau pressed a button on his tablet, and a video hologram emerged from the computer on the center.

"From what we gathered from our previous battles against the Black Knight. It shows that he excels at close quarter combat, with firepower to back it up" said Rau, replaying the footages they have took on the black mobile suit.

"You said it excels in close quarter combat. How good is he?" asked Sophie

Hearing this, Rau motioned for Athrun to stand up and explain. "The black mobile suit is next to impossible to defeat in close quarters" pressing a button on his tablet, the video shift to one of their battles against it. "As you can see here. He has an unmatched reaction time, and sixth sense to help it. We can't even surprise the thing, like he knows what will be your next move" said Athrun, before pressing another button on his tablet, and video shifted again for them to watch his fighting prowess. "Here, you can see he is armed with only a sword. But make no mistake, that sword of his can withstands any beam saber, and it can cut any metal, Or in our case, any mobile suits. Even if your mobile suits have Phase Shift Armor, it will cut it like butter using a hot knife" said Athrun, looking at them one by one.

"You said he has firepower to back it up. What kind of fire power he has?" asked Hiling Care to Athrun.

Looking at her, he pressed yet again, another button on his tablet and the video show it unfolding a rail gun under its forearm "The fire power he have is a Rail Gun mounted under each of its forearm. If you find yourself seeing this, I advised you to move. Because he has an aim unmatched by any Natural we have seen" said Athrun.

"Explain, please" said Luger, looking over the footages of their battles. Honestly, she is finding this Black Knight a worthy rival, worthy of their attention.

Nodding at her, Athrun explained. "When it's unfolded, he can shoot you down at any given range. Regardless if you're far or near. The only one who dodge its shots were commander Rau himself but the last shot landed a hit on him" said Athrun, looking at his commander.

"Well, to elaborate more on his explanation. The reason he landed a hit on me was I made a mistake. He was quick to see that I hesitated where I would go and I paid the price" said Rau, nodding at Athrun.

"So, this guy is basically an ace. And we don't know who this ace is and where his mobile suit came from" said Luger, before noticing the pattern he used when fighting.

"Tell me commander. Does he kill his targets?" asked Luger

"Depending on the situation. If push comes to shove, he kills. But if it's unnecessary, he disables his opponents" answered Rau to his fellow commander.

That raises their interest at the Black Knight. Normally, earth alliance forces don't spare their opponents. But this pilot spares his opponents. If the situation calls for it, he will end them. They were finding this pilot more and more interesting.

"Well, that's about our concern for the Black Knight. Do you know where they are headed?" asked Luger

"It seems they are not heading for their lunar base like we thought they would. They are heading for earth; most likely they are planning on guiding the legged ship into Alaska" Answered Rau

"Then there we must go. I understand that the Black Mobile Suit is in the legged ship?" asked again Luger

"Yes, it appears that it is docked with the other G-weapon, the Strike. Making that ship more dangerous" Answered Rau

"With the 8th fleet on its back, we are hard pressed to destroy that ship along with the 8th fleet" said Sophie

"That is true, but I took the liberty on requesting support from the nearby fleet around here. They have sent two Nazca class and three Laurasia class ships" said Rau, giving them his smirk.

"Then we have three Nazca class ships, Five Laurasia class ships, and our own ship the Albion" said Luger.

"That would be sufficient enough to annihilate the 8th fleet, along with that legged ship." Said Rau, still having his own smirk.

"I suppose so" said Luger, thinking that this was a little over board. But objectives are objectives.

"Well, that would conclude our briefing. We are currently waiting for the reinforcements to arrive so that we can start our operation. Now if you would excuse us, we will be resting for a while before this start. Feel free to use this room for your own agendas" said Rau

"Thank you. We appreciate it" said Luger, before saluting at Rau

Nodding at her. He saluted at her as well, before motioning his team they are dismissed.

After the Le Creuset team vacated the room. Luger Sigh and looked at her team mates.

"So, what do you guys think about our target?" asked Luger to her team.

"To be honest? We will be hard pressed on fighting him" answered Sophie. Before Hiling step in on the conversation.

"Well I say it's load of bull shit" said the trigger happy Hiling

"Why?" asked Meilan, still as stoic as ever.

"Maybe because the Le Creuset team isn't experience like we thought they would?" asked Hiling with a tone of pure sarcasm.

"We have that possibility. But I'm more inclined that the pilot of that machine is really what they think of it" said Marida, adding her own two-cents on the conversation.

"Please. A Natural going to best us in battle? Like it would happen" said Hiling. Little did she know. She is dead wrong.

"The only way to know this is when be fight it" said Luger, before looking at them one by one.

"This is the plan. We all launch to engaged it in battle. Me, Sophie, Meilan will attack it up front. Marida, you will be tailing us and provide close support for us when he tries anything out of the ordinary. Alisa, you keep guard at him when he tries to help any of his friends, flood him with everything you got. Soma, when he gets away from us, your job is to bring him back to us. Hiling, you and Yoko will provide long range support for us, while Aina and Shiho guards you two. Everyone got that?" said Luger to his team, earning her their nod and "Yes Ma'am!"

"Okay, everyone is dismissed! We are going back to our ship" said Luger, before exiting the briefing room with her team.


Back at the Archangel:

Admiral Halberton, his second in command, along with Murrue, Mu, Natarle, and Naruto, are in the Captain's Room where they were going to have their meeting. The latter, who is leaning on the side of the wall, arms crossed on his chest, while his eyes are closed.

"How could they resolve to such extreme measures to destroy Heliopolis and Artemis, for the sake of this lone ship and the two G-machines" said the Second in command of Admiral Halberton.

"None the less. The fact is her crew at least able to protect the Strike and this ship, can be counted a significant victory for the earth forces" said Admiral Halberton, looking at his second in command.

"It would seem that Alaska doesn't share that view" said the Second in command. Which earned the surprised faces of Mu and Natarle, while Murrue was looking down. At this point, Naruto moved to the side of Murrue and gripped her shoulder in comfort. Looking at the blonde young man next to her, she couldn't help the smile etched on her beautiful face.

"And why is that?" asked Naruto

"You don't have the clearance to hear any of that" said the Second in command.

Naruto just narrowed his eyes at the man, but didn't pry anymore on the subject.

"Moving on with the topic of the young coordinator. Are we going to forget about him?" said the Second in command with a smirk. His smirk was quickly wiped out from his face when Naruto unconsciously leaked his killing intent and aimed it at the fat bastard in front of him. Murru, Mu, and Natarle was startled on the sudden change of room temperature and the heaviness of the air in the room. But Admiral Halberton was smiling at Naruto for some reason.

"I may not have the right to be here, let alone talk to a pathetic excuse of an officer like you. But Kira Yamato only wanted to protect his friends. That was the sole reason why he climbed aboard on the Strike in the first place" said Naruto, still glaring at the man in front on him.

Regaining some composure to himself, he added "That may be, but what about your machine? You said that you built it your own. I find that hard to believe" said the Second in command, but was having a hard time breathing right now, because of the added killing intent released by the blonde.

Picking his ear with his pinky finger, he looked at the man with sarcastic look and said "I'm sorry did you say something? You don't have the clearance to hear any of this"

The officer in front of him was fuming in anger, while Halberton, Murrue, Mu, and Natarle was finding it hard to not laugh at the exchange of words of the two.

Regaining his composure. The admiral cough at his hands to call their attention.

"That's enough. You are dismissed" said Halberton, looking at his second in command with narrowed eyes directed at him.

"But sir, I - " he didn't have the change to complete what he was saying, before he was cut off again by the admiral.

"I said you are dismissed" said Halberton, with a tone of finality.

"Sir, yes sir" said the officer, before walking out of the room.

Sighing at the officer's behavior, he looked again at the four people in front of him and said

"Now that's out of the way, let's dwell on the main topic at hand" said Halberton, before looking at Naruto.

"Young man. Your name is Naruto Uzumaki, is it not?" said Halberton

"Yes it is. What of it?" answered Naruto

Looking at Murrue, he frowns and said, "We have a big problem at our hands"

"Sir?" asked Murrue

"What do you know of ZAFT's Valkyrie team?" Halberton asked Murrue.

Murrue was about to answer his question when Mu dropped his officer hat and was staring at the admiral with wide eyes.

Looking at the lieutenant, Murrue asked "What's wrong lieutenant?"

"Son of a bitch… Why of all people…" said Mu, still at shocked of the admiral's question.

"Lieutenant La Flaga, what is it? What's with the Valkyrie team?" asked Natarle

"They are ZAFT's elite team soldiers… when they want something done, they call for them… And they never leave their targets alive..." said Mu

Hearing this. Murrue, and Natarle was now having their eyes widen as well. Naruto on the other hand was frowning at this, almost knowing the answer why they are here.

Looking at the Admiral, Murrue asked the dreaded question "Are they coming after us, sir?"

Looking at her, he said, "No, Captain Ramius. Unfortunately, your ship isn't the target or the fleet"

"Then what's their target, sir?" asked Natarle. Admiral Halberton was about to answer when Naruto beat him to it.

"It's me. Their target is me" said Naruto, closing his eyes and releasing a sigh.

Natarle covered her mouth and her eyes beginning to water. Utterly shocked at the news that was dropped at them, and knowing her beloved was targeted by the elite soldiers. She couldn't help but cry, on the thought of loosing his blonde beloved.

Murrue was also shocked, stepping a bit backward. Not knowing what to do about the situation. Especially that their target was her love interest.

Mu on the other hand, was frowning now. He wasn't going to let his friend be targeted and killed by this people. He would die before giving up on his friend if he could do something about it. He shook his head of his thoughts, before he walked up to his friend and said "Naruto. Whatever happens on the next battle, I'll be on your side when you face them" before gripping his shoulder and giving him a smile.

Looking at his blonde friend, he smiled and said, "Thank you, Lieutenant La Flaga"

Looking at the brotherhood the two have, Halberton couldn't stop the smile etching on his face, before calling their attention

"As much as I admired both of your dedication. You two won't be fighting alone" said Halberton, before pressing a button on the tablet he has with him. The door of the room open, and five women entered the room.

The five women looked at them, before they saluted.

Murrue, Mu, and Natarle looked at them with questioning looks, while Naruto, on the other hand. Raised an eyebrow at them.

Looking at the five women, then to the admiral. Murrue asked, "Uhmm Sir, who are they?"

Smilling at her, Halberton said "These five women are the Scarlet Angels. Their team was created to match the Valkyrie team, but unfortunately. Their mobile suits aren't ready yet" said Admiral Halberton

"Then how are they going to help if they don't have their mobile suits?" asked Naruto

"Their supposed mobile suites are still in construction as we speak. But as of now, they pilot the prototype mobile suits that we are developing for the earth alliance" answered Admiral Halberton.

"Then it's okay I suppose. More help is welcomed" said Naruto

Nodding at him. He Looked at Murrue again, before saying "Captain Ramius. I request that the Scarlet Eagles be instated at your ship"

Looking at him with a questioning looked again, Murrue asked "Sir?"

"Part of their mission is to deliver the combat data of the prototype mobile suits to JOSH-A base. Since your ship is heading there, it would be best if they tag along with you" said Admiral Halberton.

"Then it will be an honor, sir" said Murrue, Saluting at him.

"Now that that's in order, why not you five introduce yourselves" said Admiral Halberton, looking at the five women.

Nodding at him, the leader of the group walked up, before saluting and said, "Lieutenant Christina Mckenzie, commander of the Scarlet Eagles" said the now known Christina Mckenzie

Christina Mckenzie. The founding member of Scarlet Eagles. She's one of the people to be picked on running the Scarlet Eagles team, along with her friend. Christina is a young woman of slim build, with long red hair, and dark blue eyes. She is often seen wearing not overly feminine clothing, but is still considered to be very attractive by a good deal of men. In contrast to her delicate appearance, Chris is a strong individual, who can fend for herself, but is not without her soft moments.

Walking back to her group, the person next to her walked up to them, before saluting and she said.

"Lieutenant Lucrezia Noin. Second in command of the Scarlet Eagles" the now known Lucrezia Noin said.

Lucrezia Noin. The Scarlet Eagles second in command. She's the second that have been picked on running the Scarlet Eagles team, along with Christina. Noin, as she prefers to be called, appears to be a somewhat tomboyish yet mature woman. Most mobile suit pilots respect her as reputable figure and a formidable pilot. She is also esteemed as a top-notch instructor of Specials recruits. Despite her merits, however, she actually dislikes war and only does what she does out of love for space. She has platinum black hair, dark purple eyes, and porcelain skin. As her toboyish nature, her body isn't far from it. Being a little small on the front, but her figure makes it up for it. Having an hour glass figure that many guys (or women) want to have.

Looking at the three women of the Scarlet Eagles team, Halberd raised his hand and said "Now, before you introduced yourselves, I would like to clarify something for the captain" before looking at Captain Ramius, and he added "These three women are what we call Extended's. they are artificially strengthened humans developed by the Earth Alliance's secret Extended Program, which is aimed at producing pilots for its mobile suits that would fight with the same efficiency as coordinators"

"Then they are experiments?" asked Mu with raised eyebrow. Before Admiral Halberton could answer, Naruto again was quick to say what was in his mind.

"No, they are still people. Human beings. They are no different from you and I. Same goes for Coordinators" said Naruto, looking at the three girls, before looking at the Admiral and nodding at him.

This however, earned him surprised reactions from the three extended pilots, and was now looking at him with interest.

He nods at him, while smiling. Before looking at Mu, Natarle, and Mu, he said "He's right. They are still human beings, despite having been enhance"

He looked the three extended pilots again and motioned them to introduced themselves.

The three nodded and one by one they introduced themselves.

Starting from the right. The woman walked forward, before saluting to them and said "Hello, I'm Sakuya Tachibana. It's nice to meet you everyone" said the now known Sakuya Tachibana with a smile, before looking at the blonde Uzumaki.

Sakuya Tachibana. The groups support. She excels in her role being a support for her two team mates. Having their backs when they enter the battlefield. She is openly distraught when her two team mates moved too far from her when they are in battle, and she constantly worries over them. But despite all of that, she can be a very dangerous opponent. Sakuya has dark brown hair, mocha colored eyes, and a perfect porcelain skin. For a Natural, she has a body of super model. Having an hour glass figure that fits her body perfectly, coupled with her mile-long legs, and a very sizable bust that even Naruto couldn't help but look away, hiding his blush that crept on his face, just by looking at the beautiful woman in front of him. She wears a dark blue earth forces uniform that hugged her figure tightly, with a knee skirt that showcase her perfect legs.

Naruto felt some killing intent was directed at him. He looked around the room and saw where it was coming from. He saw Natarle was looking at him a frown on her face and mouthed him 'We are talking later'. Safe to say, he was sweating bullets right now and rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.

Murrue saw this, and couldn't help herself to direct some killing intent on the blonde also. Which Naruto also felt and unconsciously stepped back and moved animatedly to Mu to hide from the two angry ladies.

Sakuya stepped back, and the person next to her walked up. Before saluting and said "Hello everyone. I'm Louise Halevy" said the now known Louise Halevy.

Louise Halevy. The team's long-range Artillery and Close Quarter Combat specialist. Louise is known to be the Grim Reaper in the Extended program because of an image of Grim Reaper appears when she kills another Extended child or when she can't control her emotions. She tends to control her emotions all the time because of what happened in her Extended training. Louise has a short blonde hair that reached above her neck. Has blue colored eyes and light tan skin. Like Sakuya, she has an hourglass figure that fits her body perfectly. She wears a dark green earth forces uniform that hugged her figure well. Same as Sakuya, she wears also a knee skirt.

After her introduction, she stole a glance at the blonde Uzumaki before stepping back.

This however was caught by both Murrue and Natarle, and both ladies turn to their love interest and glared at him more. With this, Naruto unconsciously moved yet again one step away from them, along with Mu, feeling their glares from his position as well.

The last person who will introduced herself stepped up, before saluting at them and said "Hello everyone! My name is Nena Trinity" said the now known Nene Trinity, while eyeing up and down the blonde Uzumaki with a lecherous smile.

Naruto saw this and he was praying to whatever deity who can hear him, saying 'Dear kami, if you can hear me… please… please… don't let Murrue and Natarle see this' prayed Naruto, before looking at his side and saw that Natarle was smiling innocently while a black miasma was oozing out from her back. He recoiled his head back and when he turned his head on Murrue, he was surprised she was doing it as well and the walls behind Murrue and Natarle was beginning to dark every second.

'Shit… what the hell did I gotten myself into' thought Naruto before sighing and accepting his fate after the meeting is over.

Nena Trinity. The team's trigger happy Heavy Weapons specialist. Nena is overall: impulsive, egotistical, sadistic, immature, flirtatious, and has sociopathic tendencies to her judgment. Although she believes in changing the world, she also has a sick sense of humor. Nena has long red hair that reached pass her shoulders. Has Amber eyes and porcelain skin. Like her two team mates, she has an hourglass figure as well, but unlike Louise. She has a large bust like Sakuya. She wears dark pink earth forces uniform that is unbutton. Under her uniform, she has a black tank top shirt that hugged her figure well. She wears also a black uniform pants rather than the knee skirt both Sakuya and Louise have.

She moved back but before winking at the blonde Uzumaki.

"Now that you all are acquainted. Their mobile suits are now being transported here as we speak." Said Admiral Halberton

Looking at the Admiral, Murrue smiled before looking at the five women and said, "Then as Captain, I welcome you Scarlet Eagles in joining our crew"

"Likewise, Captain. We are grateful for your assistance" said Christina, before smiling at her.

Before admiral Halberton could dismiss them, he remembered something "By the way Captain Ramius" said the Admiral

"What is it sir?" asked Murrue

"If it's possible. Could you room the three Extended Pilots with Mr. Uzumaki here?" asked Admiral Halberton

"…" Murrue

"…" Natarle

"… Eh?" said Naruto, while taking a step back. Before looking at Murrue and Natarle, before looking at the three extended pilots.

'Oh shit…' thought Mu, before patting his blonde friends back and giving him a sympathetic look.

"If that's… what you wish, sir…" said Murrue, before looking at her blonde love interest, while one of her eyebrows twitch.

Natarle was now moving unconsciously towards her beloved. Still she has her innocent smile plastered on her face, while her eyes were closed. The smile that promise pain and suffering.

Before she could even get to her beloved blonde pilot. The admiral cough to get their attention.

"Now that's in order, you may all be dismissed. Except for you Mr. Uzumaki" said Admiral Halberton.

Naruto just raised his eyebrow at him but he nodded none the less.

After the room was vacated, the Admiral stood up and walked to the window to gaze at the stars.

"What do you want to talk about?" asked Naruto

Halberton just chuckled at him. After his briefed laugh, he looked at the blonde and said, "Did you really forgotten about me Naruto?" asked the Admiral to the Blonde.

"I admit, your last name seems very familiar to me. But I can't think of where I remember you" said Naruto, still looking at the Admiral.

The Admiral moved away from the window, in favor of looking at the blonde in the eyes before he said, "Then maybe you remember this; Those who abandon their mission are scum, but those who abandons their comrades are lower than scum. You said that to me when I was going to military school when I was 19 years old" said the admiral

Staring at him for a moment, before something clicks in his head "Wait a minute… Little D? is that you?" asked the blonde immortal

"You haven't change one bit Godfather. How's your immortal life treating you?" asked Halberton to his Godfather.

Hearing that, Naruto walked up to the admiral and hugged him "It's been so long Duane. I'm sorry I didn't visit you and your family" said Naruto

"It's okay Godfather. Mom and Dad really missed you though" said Halberton, now facing his Godfather.

"Well, I was actually surprised that you didn't recognized me when I boarded this ship. Though I don't blame you. It's been what? Twenty years since you last saw me?" said the Admiral

"Yeah, been that long" said Naruto, with a smile. Before he remembered what happened earlier.

"By the way lil' D… did you have a hand on that arrangement of sleeping quarters with those three?" said Naruto, narrowing his eyes at him.

"Oh, this is payback for the last prank you did to me" said the admiral, now having a smug look on his face.

"Oh, come on! My gift for on your 18th birthday was the best!" said Naruto

"The best!? You locked me with a horny stripper when you took me out for my birthday!" said the admiral.

"Oh, don't bullshit me Duane, I know you liked what happened to you" said Naruto, now it's his turn to have a smug look on his face.

Halberton opened his mouth to retort to him, but closed it again. He was right. He did enjoy it…

"See. But I gotta ask though. Why them?" asked Naruto

"It's because you can heal them Godfather" answered Halberton

"Heal them of what?" asked again Naruto

"You see. When they were trained to be Extended's… They weren't treated "Humanely", and they were deprived of any outside contact other than themselves. You could understand where they are coming from" said Halberton. Narrowing his eyes when he remembered the story they told him about.

Naruto was gritting his teeth on this. Who could have done something like this and stayed sane.

"I know what are you thinking right now. It's the Blue Cosmos. Goddamn pieces of shits. They don't care what would happen to them in this war. They're young. And they didn't have in any of this" said Halberton

"What do you mean?" asked Naruto, still feeling angry on what they have done to them.

"It's because they were forced into this Godfather. They were orphans" said Halberton, before he felt his Godfathers's killing intent sky rocketed in the room.

"THOSE ASSHOLES! THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE RIGHT! IF I GET MY HANDS ON THE FUCKER THAT STARTED ALL OF THIS. I WILL RIP HIS FUCKING THROATH OUT!" shouted Naruto, his eyes now crimson red and his pupils are now slits.

"Calm down Godfather. We don't want anyone knowing your true origins" said Halberton, diffusing the rage of his Godfather.

"Fine" said Naruto, relaxing himself. Before adding "I'll take care of them. That's a promise of a lifetime" said Naruto with conviction.

"I know you will, Godfather" said Halberton, before his smile turned into a mischievous one.

"If I were you though. I should explain now the circumstances to Ms. Natarle and Ms. Rammius" said Halberton, still having his mischievous smile plastered on his face.

Now sweating, Naruto said to his Godson "Oi. What's that supposed to mean?" said Naruto.

"I know their look when I saw it earlier Godfather. If I were you I should make peace with them" said Halberton, before walking to the door.

"Hey! This is your fault!" said Naruto to his Godson

"And like I said, this is payback" said Halberton to his Godfather, before he laughs and exited the room.

Naruto's eyebrow was twitching and cursing under his breath. While muttering 'Stupid Godsons and their revenge'.

After their reunion. Naruto walking to his room when his cheeks were being pulled by someone.

"Hey! That hurts!" Whine Naruto.

"It's supposed to hurt, idiot" said Natarle, now pouting at him.

"Come on now Nata-chan. I didn't like the sudden arrangement the admiral made for those three pilots too you know" said Naruto, rubbing his cheek.

"Oh? Then why were you blushing at that Sakuya girl?" asked Natarle, now narrowing her eyes at her beloved.

Naruto opened his mouth but was quick to close it. He was cornered…

"Okay okay… im sorry I was looking…" said Naruto, looking at the floor.

Natarle just "Hmph" him and look at the side, still pouting at him. Seeing this, Naruto was quick to hug her and said "Nata-chan, you know I won't hurt you. And besides, didn't you say that you will share?"

"Well… it's just that… if you add another… you'll forget about me…" said Natarle, not looking at him.

Raising a lone eyebrow at her, he said "Why would I forget about you Nata-chan?"

"I don't know… maybe you'll see that I don't deserve you…" said Natarle, still not looking at him.

Naruto, smiled fondly at her, before putting hand on her cheek, and gently made her look at him.

"Natarle, I won't forget about you, nor anyone that comes in my life. You all will have a space in my heart" said Naruto, before kissing her.

Natarle returned the kiss, and they stayed like that for five minutes. Exchanging saliva and having a tongue battle in their mouths. When the need of air was needed. They put their foreheads on each other.

"Natarle, whatever happens. I will love you equally, just like I love Lacus. You all have a space in my big heart. Okay?" said Naruto huskily.

"Okay, Naruto. I love you" said Natarle, burying her face in his torso.

"And I love you too, Natarle" said Naruto, hugging her tightly.

After some time, they separated. Before Natarle said

"By the way Naruto, Ms. Christina is searching for you"

"Okay, I'll find them" said Naruto, he was about to leave when Natarle hold his hand and said, "You better behave yourself Naruto. Do I make myself clear?" said natarle with a serious expression.

"Yes ma'am" said Naruto, sweat dropping at the possessiveness of his girlfriend.

After their heart-to-heart talk with Natarle. Naruto search for the Scarlet Eagles. After some time, he found them at the dining hall, talking to each other.

"Excuse me, Lieutenant Christina. I believe you are looking for me?" said Naruto, while approaching their table.

"Ah, yes. Mr. Uzumaki. I believe these three are bunking with you?" asked Christina.

"Yes Lieutenant, they are. If you would please follow me, I'll show them where our room is. And please, call me Naruto" said Naruto, while smiling at them.

"Okay then, Naruto. Lead the way" said Christina, before motioning for her team to follow them.

After some time, they arrived at their room.

"So, this is it. This will be your room for the rest of the travel to JOSH-A base" said Naruto, gesturing the room.

"I got to admit, it's roomy in here for just one occupant" said Nena

"Well, this room is supposed to house more than one occupant you know" said Naruto with a smile.

"He's right Nena, it's just so happen that he doesn't have any roommates to share it with. We're lucky that we have this chance" said Sakuya, before winking at Naruto.

Naruto looked away with a blush, before shaking his head and said "Okay, now that's settled, you guys choose which bed you want, I'll have what's left" said Naruto, before sitting at one of the chairs inside the room.

"Okay" said Louise, before choosing the top bunk on the right.

"Hmm, I call dibs on the top bunk on the left!" said Nena, grabbing her bag, and put it at the top left bunk bed.

"Then I'll have right bunk bed" said Sakuya, before sitting at her bed.

"Then, that leaves me on the left bunk bed" said Naruto, before looking at Christina and Noin and said.

"By the way, your room is right across from us"

Nodding at him, and giving him a smile, Christina said "Thank you, Naruto"

Noin just nods at him, though she gave him a small, brief, smile. Which Naruto caught and he smiled back at her.

Naruto was about to start a conversation with them, when the ships alarm went off, and the PA system broadcasted a message.

'Attention. All hands, level 1 battle stations. I repeat. All hands, level 1 battle stations. We detected three Nazca class ships, five Laurasia Class ships, and one Assault Carrier. All pilots, report to the pilot ready room immediately'

Naruto frowned at this and sigh. He stood up and looked at the five women inside his room.

"That's our que guys, let's go" Naruto said, before turning on his heels and he walked out the door. The five women followed after him. When they arrived at the pilot ready room, they changed into their flight suits. Naruto was about to walked to the elevator when Noin called for his attention.

"Naruto, may we have a moment" said Noin

"Sure Noin. What's on your mind?" asked Naruto

Instead of Noin, Christina was the one who answered his question.

"I understand that the Valkyrie team has targeted you, and with good reasons" said Christina

Naruto raised his eyebrow at her, before motioning her to continue.

"We have come to a conclusion that we respectfully ask you to lead us throughout the voyage" said Christina

Naruto was stunned on what she said. They wanted him to lead them. The last time he leaded a team is when the last world war broke out. And it didn't leave a pleasant memory…

"Why do you want me to lead you?" asked Naruto

"Because we saw what you are capable of. And we could learn a thing or two from you" said Christina, with a smile.

Looking down at the floor. He remembered all the times he led a team. All of them died under his command. But now… he would be damn if he will let anyone touch a single hair on his team "Okay. I'll do it, Christina" said Naruto, now burning with conviction.

"Then what's the plan?" asked Noin to the new acting commander of the team.

"You three, stick with me. Back each other up. While Christina and Noin will be our support and scout. When you see the Valkyrie team, relay the message to me as soon as possible. When they arrive, you three will scatter. Their target is me, so their priority will be me. Be careful of the other ZAFT mobile suits. If they attack you, fight back. When you see an opening, take it. If you find yourself fighting one of them, I want you five to call me. I'll won't let them near you or harm you" said Naruto, before walking to the elevator.

All of team Scarlet Eagles was stunned. Not only that he had think of a plan on the spot, he has thought of them as his comrades not as a weapon, and he doesn't want anything to happen to them. He would protect them with all he's got, and he wouldn't abandon them.

'I think we made a very good decision. What will the future hold for us, Naruto Uzumaki…'

-end-
