A few days after Ange escaped from the empire, Sylvia was in her room. She thought about what happened a few days ago, and she couldn't help but feel guilty. Truth to be told, she always loved her sister, but when the young princess found out her sister to be a Norma, she couldn't believe it.
In denial, Sylvia even convinced herself the Norma had killed her sister at some point and took her place. With that mindset, she allowed herself to follow Julio's suggestion to lure Ange out. They succeeded, and Ange was captured.
Sylvia could not forget those eyes Ange had, eyes that showed how hurt the former princess was for her betrayal. But Sylvia suppressed her feelings, further convincing herself the Norma had killed her sister.
But deep down, she knew, her loving sister, Angelise Ikaruga Misurugi, had always been a Norma and herself, yet Ange still loved her, maybe not anymore, but Ange had loved her, she had cared for her.
Sylvia sighed as she sat on her wheelchair. She moved out of her room into the hallways. Deciding to take a stroll, she controlled her chair to move.
As she moved, she was about to pass Julio's room but noticed it was slightly open. This piqued her curiosity, Julio was an asshole, but he never left his door open, being as paranoid one can be, he always added several locks on his door.
Sylvia decided to took a peek and was mortified at what she saw. In the room, on the bed of Julio's room, were two figures. One was her brother, the other was Julio's attendant, a woman named Riza.
As Julio laid on his bed with Riza on top of him, the woman trailed her finger along Julio's new scar.
Riza sent a disarming smile at the emperor, "You did well, Julio-sama. The scar makes you look fierce."
Julio smiled dazedly at the woman, a strange liquid leaking from his mouth. Riza placed her index finger over his mouth and dropped more of the liquid into his mouth.
As they had their seemingly romantic moment, Sylvia's eyes widened in horror as Riza grew a pair of wings and a tail, which Julio totally ignored as he stared at the silver haired woman dazedly.
Sylvia backed away slightly, but it made some noise that alerted Riza of her presence. Sylvia's eyes widened in fear as Riza's tail shot at her and coiled around her nexk, squeezing the air out of her as she fell unconscious, the last thing on her mind being her elder sister.
At Arzenal, Ange and Hilda had been discharged from their punishment. And now, Ange, Lacus and Kira were in a private room on the Minerva.
Kira sighed, "So, you two talked about it, and agreed to share me?"
Lacus smiled, "Well, I don't mind, plus we know how Ange feels, so why don't we give this a try?"
Ange stayed silent, she knew she was the third wheel, so to speak. But Lacus didn't mind, and she liked Kira.
Kira sighed, he looked at the two girls sitting in front of him. Truth to be told, the idea of having a relationship with two girls kinda excited him, especially since the two were quite beautiful. The Ultimate Coordinator pinched the bridge of his nose and thought, 'Ah screw this, I'll just go along with them.'
Kira let out a breathe and said, "Okay. We'll give this a try."
The two girls brightened up and Ange lunged at Kira and caught him in a hug. Kira chuckled awkwardly as Lacus stared at them in amusement.
Ange let go before she asked, "So, umm, how are we gonna tell the others?"
Kira shrugged, "I don't know. But I don't think they'll react badly."
The pink songstress then said, "Well, polygamy isn't that rare here, so I don't think they'd mind."
The three then stood up and headed the door.
At the same time, with Tusk and Hilda. The two were in an opening on the Minerva. Tusk began, "Hilda, what did you want?"
Hilda sighed and asked, "Answer me honestly, where were you all these years?"
Tusk stared at the girl, "After all of us Ancient Humans died out, I went out to gather information for Jill. I've been moving all around the world gathering info that could be beneficial for Arzenal."
Hilda looked at him straight in the eye, "So you moved all around the world, did you ever come to the island?"
Tusk nodded, "Yes, I came back here several times when I had to give Jill information."
Hilda narrowed her eyes, "So all these years you did come back, but you never bothered to see me?"
Tusk looked away and kept silent, he knew he should have at least stop by to see her, but he didn't, rather, he couldn't.
The redhead kept her gaze and asked, "Why?"
The brunette closed his eyes, still refusing to meet her gaze, "It's because I couldn't. I was afraid."
Hilda pushed on, "Afraid of what?"
Tusk turned his head to her, finally meeting her gaze, "Afraid if I stayed by you, with Arzenal, all of you would perish, just as my parents and the rest of the Ancient Humans did."
Hilda felt a sudden surge of anger as she heard Tusk left her for such a stupid reason. She punched the young man in the face, sending him to the floor.
She reached down and grabbed him by the collar, pulling him up as she growled softly, "Did you really think I, we would die so easily?"
Tusk kept silent before his eyes widened as Hilda smashed her lips into his. Hilda pulled away, "I always liked you, no, I loved you. Then you left, I wanted to forget about you. But then you suddenly came back."
Tusk replied, "So what now?"
Hilda asked again, "When you saved me back at the empire, did you come because of orders, or because you wanted to?"
Tusk looked at her and answered, "Both."
Hilda then said, "For you question, I want us."
She smashed her lips onto Tusk's before he could reply. Tusk was slightly surprised before he kissed back. They parted.
Hilda grinned slyly, "You're mine now."
The man chuckled, "Fine by me."
They then stood there enjoying each other's presence.
Meanwhile, in Arzenal's commander room. Jill was talking to Salia. The blue haired girl said, "I request Ange be taken off the Vilkiss."
Jill stared at her surrogate sister, "Why?"
Salia replied, "Ever since she has gotten used to it, she has been arrogant."
The commander sighed, "No. Besides, I do not see that."
Salia gritted her teeth, "Why her?! Is it because she has the blood of royalty?!"
Jill sighed, "Yes. She has something you and I do not have. Salia, to pilot the Vilkiss, you need several things. First of all is the will to protect. Ange with all her faults, is fighting to protect. She fought to protect her maid, she left Arzenal knowing she could die to save her sister. When have you ever fought to protect someone?"
Salia opened her mouth to answer before she realized she never did anything to protect anyone. Everytime she fought, it was either to impress Jill or money.
Jill continued, "Next, as you said, the blood of royalty. Ange is the same as I am. We have the blood of royalty, which you don't have, Salia."
The bluenette kept silent as Jill finished, "Finally, a pilot of the Vilkiss needs the ring of royalty. I had one, but I lost it. Ange has her ring passed down from her mother, which you also don't have."
Salia clenched her fists as Jill said again, "Salia, you can't pilot the Vilkiss, only Ange can. You and I lost the rights to the Vilkiss when we started fighting. I never fought to protect, you never did as well."
Salia stayed silent. Jill then said, "Let it go. The Vilkiss is important, yes, but that isn't your role."
Jill was about to say more when Pamela's voice came through the comm, "Ma'am, there is a singularity point in front of the base."
Jill's eyes widened as she conjured an image of the radar on her desk. She cursed and looked at Salia, "Get to the Minerva, deploy ASAP."
The girl nodded and rushed out as the black haired commander spoke into the mic, "Attention all Para-mail squadrons. A singularity point has appeared directly in front of Arzenal. Everyone is to deploy and defend the bade as well as destroy the DRAGONs."
Jill stared at the monitor again, "They could have done this in the beginning, why now?"
With Kira, Lacus and Ange, the three nodded to each other as they headed for the hangar, well, Kira and Ange did, Lacus went to the bridge to operate the Minerva.
As the two pilots rushed to the hangar, they saw the rest of squad one mounted on their respective machines. Kira and Ange got on their respective mechas and awaited for orders.
Lacus' face then appeared on everyone's monitors. The pinkette said, "The Minerva is launching. All units, prepare for launch."
Everyone nodded as the suits prepared to launch out of the ship. Lacus stared to the front, the other two squads had launched and were engaging the DRAGONs.
As the Minerva started to provide support fire, squad one launched. All units of squad one started to shoot down the DRAGONs before they heard a song.
Ange gasped slightly, "This song, its like the one my mother taught me."
Before anyone could react, two tornado like beams shot out of the singularity point, headed for the base. Before anyone could react, the beam engulfed both Para-mail squads and destroyed a huge portion of the island.
Everyone stared in shock as two of the Para-mail squadrons had been wiped out ao easily, making squadron one the remaining squad from Arzenal.
Athrun grabbed his controls harder, this was just like the Requiem. Cagali gritted her teeth as she also thought of what happened at the Requiem. Lacus merely stared at the monitor sadly.
Ange's voice then snapped everyone out of their stupor, "Guys, look."
They all saw where the Vilkiss was looking and spotted five units descending from the singularity point. They easily recognized the Destiny and the Impulse, but the other three looked like Para-mails.
Athrun muttered, "Shin, Luna."
Salia's voice came through the comm, "Ange, you handle the red one, Kira, Athrun, Cagali, you three fight those two Gundam type units. Hilda and Tusk, handle the other two Para-mails. The rest of us fight the DRAGONs."
Everyone nodded as they charged their respective targets, Lacus spamming every weapon the Minerva had apart from the positron cannon. Athrun and Kira clashed sabers with Shin while Cagali fought Luna. As for Ange, she charged the red Ryu Shin Ki.
As Shin blocked a blast from Kira, he asked, "Why are you fighting for these guys?"
Athrun asked in return, "That's my line! Why are fighting humanity's enemies?!"
Shin blocked a slash from the Justice, "Hah? What do you mean humanity's enemies?! Those bastards stole Aura!"
The Destiny sent a large blast at the Freedom, who countered with a blast from his torso, Kira asked, "What do you mean? The DRAGONs attacked first."
Shin denied, "If you bastards didn't steal their god, they wouldn't even think about attacking!"
Athrun then asked, "What do you mean steal their god? I've never even heard of it."
Shin growled, "That would explain it. There was a bastard named Embryo who stole Aura, the ancestor of the DRAGONs from their homeland. The people of Aura, your so called dragons are fighting to retrieve her."
By now the three Gundam had stopped fighting, even the Akatsuki and Impulse had stopped fighting as they looked at the three men in curiosity.
Kira asked, "Then who should we be fighting?"
Before anyone could answer, a song began.
A while ago, Ange, Hilda and Tusk were fighting the three Ryu Shin Ki as the Gundam types fought each other.
For some unknown reason, Ange felt a slight connection to the red Ryu Shin Ki. Ange charged the red mech and clashed blades with it.
The former princess asked on the open channel, "Who are you?"
No answer came as the red mech pushed the Vilkiss away. The two Arquebus were flying around trading bullets with the Hekiryugo and the Soryugo.
The Enryugo raised its rifle and shot a blast of energy at the Vilkiss who reacted by firing her own rifle.
They flew around trading blasts before the Enryugo put away her rifle and started singing, "Kaze ni toban el ragna, Sadame to chigiri kawashite, Kaze ni yukan el ragna, todorokishi tsubasa."
Ange's eyes widened in surprise as she heard the familiar tune. She closed her eyes as she felt that she needed to sing her mother's song as well.
The blonde took a breath and started singing as well, "Hajimari no Hikari, kirali kirali, owari no hikari lulalalila, kaesan el ragna, suna dokei wo, toki wa afuren, lulalalila. Iku oku amata no, inochi no honoo. Suruli, ochite wa hoshi ni."
As they sang, the two machines started to glow and turn golden. Kira felt the same energy from the blast that destroyed the two Para-mail squads earlier. He cursed and said, "Lacus! Send the METEOR now!"
Lacus nodded and announced, "METEOR, lift off."
The METEOR unit detached from the Minerva and flew towards the Strike Freedom. Kira docked the mobile suit with the power up unit and shot towards the two singing machines.
Then, as soon as Ange ended her verse, the two mechas unleased two tornadoes of pure energy. Kira saw this and unleashed all his weapons in METEOR Full Burst mode while he yelled, "STOP IT!"
As the three large volley of energy clashed, everything turned white. Kira and Ange found themselves in a white area with the red Ryu Shin Ki.
They then heard the voice of the Enryugo's pilot, "It would seem our clash was fated to be, pilot of Bilkiss."
They looked at the red Ryu shin Ki as the cockpit opened up, revealing a black haired girl. Ange stood up from her cockpit, "Who are you?"
As soon as she asked the question, a series of images showing different versions of Ange and the girl fighting each other appeared.
By now Kira had also stood up from his cockpit and the three were staring at each other. The girl smiled, "It would seem we are bounded by fate, the three of us and another one."
Then the images turned to show different versions of Kira, Ange, Lacus and the girl together.
The girl then continued, "My name is Salamandinay and this is my Enryugo. I look forward to meet you again. Kira Yamato, Angelise Ikaruga Misurugi."
The girl entered her machine before the two of them could ask her anything. The white area faded and they were back above the sea, back in their cockpits.
As the two members of squad one stayed there, Salamandinay said, "Everyone. Its time to go. Our mission is over."
The DRAGONs roared and rushed back into the singularity point while Shin tch'd before he too flew back to the portal, not before looking at Athrun, "The next time we meet, we will win, and we will retrieve what they lost, and we will get the Minerva back."
Shin stared at the Freedom one more time before he dived into the portal with Luna.
Soon, the remaining ones on the battlefield were the members of squad one and the Minerva.
After a while, the members of squad one were back on Arzenal and since a huge part of the island was destroyed, the Minerva was placed in front of Emma's house.
In Jill's office, Salia, Lacus, Jill, Emma, Jasmine, Maggie and Mei were going through the damages.
Jill sighed, "Damn that's a lot. Nothing we cannot cover, but still."
Mei nodded, "We lost two squads, now we only have one left."
Jill nodded, "One more thing. As of now, Lacus, you are the leader of the squad."
Salia looked at her surprised, "What?! Why?!"
Jill stared at her, "Well, since Lacus is on the Minerva, which is the mothership for the squad, I thought maybe she was suited to be the squad leader. Plus, Lacus has experience leading an army, yes?"
The pinkette nodded, "Yes. I lead an alliance back home during the war."
Salia wanted to refute but she nodded, seeing as Lacus was the one who gave them the order to launch and provides support from the ship.
Jill nodded, "Good. Now lets get t-"
She was cut off by an alarm as Pamela's voice came through the speakers, "Attention all units, a DRAGON has been spotted. I repeat, a Scuna class DRAGON has been spotted on the island."
They all looked at each other and rushed out of the room.
With Vivian, she had fallen asleep after the battle. When she reached her room, her bottle of lolipops had been destroyed just as half the room was. But she didn't care and just slept on her hammock.
After a while, she woke up and found herself a bit too heavy and wandered around the island. She then heard the announcement and started running, "A DRAGON! I have to help everyone kill it."
As she ran, she saw Salia and Ersha. But to her shock, the bluenette yelled, "Over there!"
Vivian turned to look for the beast but found nothing. She yelped when Salia and Ersha fired their rifles at her. Vivian yelled, "Hey!"
The two didn't bother to reply and just kept firing. Vivian ran away seeing they didn't care.
As she ran into the cafeteria, she looked at her hands, but found claws. The girl blinked before she looked at a pot that had her reflection on it.
Vivian gasped as she saw a DRAGON. She said in shock, "I am the DRAGON."
She then heard Hilda's voice, "It's over there!"
Vivian jumped up and took flight just in time to evade Hilda's rifle bullets. She flew out of the cafeteria and tried to look for help.
As she flew, she saw Ange, Kira and Athrun running towards her, also aiming rifles. The energetic pinkette races through her mind for ideas before a light bulb lit up in her head.
The dragon started to hum the song Ange has been singing, and that drew a reaction from them.
Ange lowered her rifle, everyone else did. The blonde then followed up on the Dragon's tune, singing Towagatari. By now, everyone had gathered at the area and were dumbfounded seeing the dragon humming the song and Ange singing it.
Their surprise increased as the Dragon landed in front of Ange and steam started to come out of its skin. A few seconds later, the steam dispersed and revealed Vivian.
Everyone stared in shock as their friend, one they could call a little sister, emerge from a dragon.
