Stellar awoke by the sound of planes roaming around the skies miles away. Major Park also awoke, everyone else were still deep asleep, even the Kraut prisoner. The deep roar of the engines only meant one thing. "It's our B-17 bombers." Major Park said. A few moments later the scream of bombs dropping were heard with loud explosions shortly after. Major Park kept staring at the sunrise resting upon the light red skies now fading to an azure blue. To Major Park, this was a sight so sweet. Major Park just sat back and smiled at this setting while Stellar was cooking up breakfast for herself and Shinn. Major Park turned around to face Stellar. "You know Loussier, maybe I was a bit too hard on you and Asuka." Major Park said. Stellar looked lost. "What are talking about sir?" Stellar asked. "I now permit you and Asuka to be able to… you know." Major Park said not wanting to say the 'words' out loud. Stellar blushed and couldn't help but giggle. "Just don't do anything advanced until we get our RnR application approved Loussier." Major Park warned with a firm tone. "Yes sir." Stellar walked off to cook breakfast while Shinn and Christian were still asleep.

Whilst Christian, Stellar and Shinn were having their breakfast, Major Park, Captain Bratkov and Lieutenant Yamato got together to plan on succeeding their next objectives. "I suggest we go at the dead of night." Major Park advised. Kira looked impatient with the idea. "But that's still about twelve hours away." Kira complained. "We have to get Cagalli out of there as soon as possible." Kira explained. "Major, for you anything is possible, you can devise another master plan to get her out." Kira said desperately. "Listen Yamato, I'm not such a good tactician that I can take out the whole ZAFT army with just four men and a tank, we have to be patient. No buts, ifs or maybes." Major Park ordered. Captain Bratkov nodded with agreement. "Listen Lieutenant Yamato, if there's one thing I learnt about being in Major Park's squad, it's that: whatever Major Park orders, is the best thing to do." Captain Bratkov gave Kira an honest look. Kira sighed with agreement. "So besides executing this objective at the dead of night, what else should we do?" Kira asked. Major Park smiled. "Well, when arriving at Colditz, taking out the guards will be relatively easy, but when we make our escape, we'll have so many obstacles in our way. We'll be facing battalion after battalion after battalion. So we won't stand a chance getting out of ZAFT controlled territory." Major Park said with great intelligence. "So what do we do?" Kira asked. "Well since we are going to the great castle of Colditz, holding at least a thousand Allied prisoners, we can free them and give them each some guns from the dead guards and the barracks with some grenades and handguns, therefore they can scatter throughout the ZAFT territory causing confusion and disorganization amongst the ZAFT forces. Therefore we will be able to make our escape with less difficulty." Major Park concluded with a smirk.

Captain Bratkov and Lieutenant Yamato were absolutely impressed with Major Park's tactics. Even though Kira had admired Major Park from hearing about his exploits, now he was ever so impressed. "That just about sums the rescue operation up." Major Park said. Captain Bratkov suggested: "Major Park, there won't be enough weapons and ammunition for the prisoners that we'll release. We have to get them more weapons." Captain Bratkov explained. "We can get weapons and ammunition from those ZAFT soldiers we killed last night, we killed hundreds. We can go and gather them. I'll assign Sergeant Asuka and Lieutenant Jensen to dress in ZAFT uniform and take the Kubelwagen and start gathering from the ZAFT soldiers we killed there." Major Park said with great intelligence once again. "That way the enemy will think that they were sent from Axis HQ to gather weapons and ammo from the dead. We'll send them immediately." Major Park said walking over to Shinn and Christian while they were still having their spam and bean breakfast.

When Shinn and Christian got into German uniform, they set out with the Kubelwagen. Stellar was worried and strolled backwards and forwards. "Loussier, cook up some breakfast for the Kraut prisoner that's tied up to that tree there." Major Park ordered. Stellar obeyed without complaint. The prisoner was extremely grateful to be treated well besides being tied up. Major Park untied the prisoner. "Captain Bratkov, you can speak German can't you?" Major Park asked. "Yes I can." Captain Bratkov said smirking. "Please tell him that he can now go out to do his 'business', while you stand guard." Major Park ordered. Captain Bratkov returned shortly after, breakfast was waiting for the prisoner. When Major Park handed him a tin of hot spam and beans, the prisoner replied: "Danke." Major Park knew that this meant: 'Thank you' and got out two cigarettes and gave it to the prisoner. "Captain Bratkov, would you like a cigarette too?" Major Park asked. Captain Bratkov took the cigarette and nodded to show his appreciation.

An hour later, Shinn and Christian came back with a Kubelwagen full of weapons and ammunition. The jeep moved slowly into the safe point. Major Park was pleased with the find, as was the rest of the squad. The weapons were piled up, the trunk was full of rifles and grenades while Shinn and Christian were almost drowning in them. "Sir, you were right. After we beat back the second assault, the ZAFT mortared the entire place. We could have gotten more weapons and ammunition, but they were damaged from the mortar barrage." Shinn said. Christian was surprised to find the predictions that Major Park made were dead accurate. Major Park had full knowledge of the ZAFT tactics.

"Well done both of you, what say we all get some coffee?" Major Park smiled. After the coffee break, everyone was told about the objectives and the method of execution. Once again, everyone was impressed with Major Park's intelligent tactics.

"How do we organize the Allied prisoner's sir?" Shinn asked. "Good question Asuka. We will send them away four people to a squad, two men having guns with ammo and the other two will have grenades. Overall, I calculated that two hundred and fifty squads will be out in the ZAFT controlled territory looking for a way out. The ZAFT can't be everywhere at once and they have to take extreme caution when tracking the prisoners down again." Major Park explained. "So does anyone want to say something before we organize these guns and ammo?" Major Park asked. Kira stepped forward with a grin on his face. "I think that you are a pure genius sir." Kira remarked. "He's also a pure warrior." Captain Bratkov added. "Alright that's enough." Major Park scratched his head.

"We still have to plan on how to breach the castle and take the guards out." Major Park added. "Captain Bratkov, Lieutenant Jensen and Lieutenant Yamato, please come with me to discuss the plans." Major Park winked to Shinn and Stellar, "Loussier, Asuka. Bind the prisoner up and do whatever you want in your free time until we call you." Major Park continued. Stellar knew what Major Park meant and walked off along with Shinn who was a bit uncomfortable with the wink that Major Park gave them.

After Shinn and Stellar secured the prisoner, bind him to a tree and blindfolded him, Stellar took Shinn away grabbing him by his hand and dragging him behind the cover of thick trees. "What's going on Stellar?" Shinn asked looking rather confused. But before Shinn could say anything else, Stellar grabbed Shinn on the shoulders and started kissing him. Shinn tried to talk, but a mere muffle was heard. When Stellar painfully broke the kiss, Shinn looked around for any sign of Major Park.

"Stellar we can't, if the Major sees us doing this, he'll probably make us charge at a machinegun nest." Shinn said continuing to look around. "He's basically on our case twenty four/seven." Shinn whispered. Stellar chuckled. "Actually Shinn, he gave us permission while you were still asleep. But we can't do anything too advanced." Stellar said while seducing Shinn. Shinn smiled back. "I'm glad the Major has finally loosened up." Shinn smirked, kissing Stellar back gently. Every time they kissed, they thought back to when they first met. They were unaware however that the prisoner was not that far away and he was actively listening to what was going on.

Major Park planned his assault tactics once again. "We have to do one more thing before we leave Colditz." Major Park said. Lieutenant Jensen looked surprised, "One more? Come on sir, we already have enough on our hands." Jensen complained. "So first we somehow breach the castle, then we take out the entire guards, then we free the prisoners and then we distribute the ammunition and guns equally among the prisoners as fast as we can, we rescue the representative and then we do one more thing that you have in mind." Jensen complained. "Shut up Jensen! I'll be the one doing this not you." Major Park threatened. "So what do you have in mind?" Kira asked. "Well since there's gonna be such a ramble in the ZAFT defenses and the organization of their units will be scrambled all over the place, we can encourage HQ to call in the immediate frontline breakthrough, after this is achieved, the Allied push inwards to gain territory should be a lot easier. Colditz should have a communications room somewhere." Major Park explained. Everyone agreed to this idea.

"So while I'm talking to Allied HQ on radio, I want everyone to free the prisoners and distribute ammo and weapons arrange everyone in a four man squad." Major Park explained. Jensen still looked uncertain. "How are we gonna get the ammo and weapons up there?" Jensen asked. "We use that Kubelwagen, put all the spare weapons and grenades in there. We use the Lieutenant Yamato's tank to ram a hole through the entrance to make an opening." Major Park answered with an evil grin. Some believed that Major Park might have been a pyromaniac when he was young, he had always put on an evil grin whenever he planned to blow something up, plan anything to do with fire or perform demolition tasks. Major Park continued, "After we clear out the castle and release the prisoners, everyone meet at the entrance, that's when we distribute weapons and ammunition into four man squads." Major Park repeated. "That is all."

At the castle of Colditz, Cagalli and Athrun awoke with the sound of the prison door swinging wide open. Athrun and Cagalli were found once again in each others embrace. Athrun lifted his head to find his father with a hand gun. Although still in hansom uniform, General Zala was bandaged around the chest area and looked absolutely furious. "Athrun!" he growled. Athrun looked up in shock as Cagalli was still tight in his embrace. General Zala stepped forward pointing the gun at Athrun. "You shot me over this natural bitch!" pointing his gun at Cagalli, she closed her eyes and gritted her teeth in sheer terror. "Get up now Athrun!" General Zala boomed. Athrun was still in shock, his eyes were full of shock and confusion as he faced his angry father. General Zala kicked Athrun and stamped on him a score times before Athrun finally let go of Cagalli.

"Both of you get up now!" General Zala yelled.

Cagalli got up almost immediately, while Athrun rose slowly still recovering from the last blow that he received. As both got up, General Zala examined Cagalli. Cagalli broke off eye contact with General Zala and looked down. "You're pathetic Athrun. I can't believe you were seduced so easily by this bitch!" General Zala stated while still examining Cagalli, "Guards!" General Zala requested. "Take these two to the torture room immediately. The four guards came rushing in and dragged Athrun and Cagalli while both were struggling. General Zala followed them. The torture room was dark and dim. The stench of blood was thick with anguish and suffering. Colonel Steiger was waiting in the room. "Guards, chain Athrun to the wall and chain this bitch to the table." General Zala demanded. Athrun and Cagalli were both quickly chained in their positions. General Zala turned to face Athrun,

"Now Athrun, you are going to pay dearly and so is this bitch." General Zala grinned while Colonel Steiger attached electrodes around Cagalli's body. Cagalli was breathing heavily and cried out helplessly. Athrun watched with sheer terror. General Zala faced Athrun, "Soon you'll wish that you had killed her." General Zala grinned while Colonel Steiger also grinned with him.

After the torturing equipment was set up, Colonel Steiger gripped a lever and turned to General Zala, "Should we start Patrick?" Colonel Steiger asked ready to pull the lever. "Of course Leopold, but allow me to have the first honours." General Zala grinned. Colonel Steiger let go of the lever, "After you then." Colonel Steiger gestured. Athrun was shaking and trying to break the chains with no chance of success. "No father don't you dare think about hurting Cagalli!" Athrun yelled. General Zala and Colonel Steiger did not react to Athrun's threat. "In time, you will learn to fear me Athrun." General Zala said, as he said these words, General Zala pulled the lever. Electricity zapped and flowed vigorously through Cagalli's body causing her to arch back in pain, her body shook as she screamed loudly. Athrun was shouting and ranting. He was shaking and pulling at the chains that bound him to the wall with no avail. As the current of electricity was cut off, Cagalli started frothing at the mouth. "That's only the start my dear." General Zala said pulling the lever again. The second pulse of electricity passed through Cagalli's body causing her to scream even more. Athrun was still pulling at the chains. After minutes of continuous electric shocks, General Zala decided to stop. "That's enough, lets move on to the next method." General Zala said enthusiastically. Cagalli spurted out blood and moaned weakly. Tears were dropping out of Athrun's eyes. Colonel Steiger rolled in a barrel of water. "Ah that's perfect!" General Zala said enthusiastically. The torture table adjusted to being movable. Colonel Steiger placed the barrel under the torture table. General Zala moved the torture table and dipped Cagalli's head in the barrel of water, Cagalli's body started shaking. "That's enough!" Athrun yelled. General Zala ignored Athrun and continued. After a few moments, General Zala brought the torture table back to its normal position, Cagalli broke the surface and gulped for air.

General Zala repeated this process over and over for ten minutes. Athrun was reduced to quiet tears while watching Cagalli suffer. "Let that be enough for you." General Zala said staring at Cagalli. General Zala faced Athrun. "Don't worry, it's your turn now traitor." General Zala punched Athrun in the intestine area over and over again. General Zala then unchained Athrun who fell on his knees. General Zala picked Athrun up pushing him against the wall, General Zala started beating Athrun, punching him for as long as five minutes. Athrun fell to the ground bruised and bleeding. Despite this General Zala stomped on Athrun and continuously kicked him. "That's enough for both of you for today." General Zala stated. "Guards, take these prisoners both back to their cell now." General Zala ordered. The guards entered and dragged Athrun and Cagalli back to their cell. Cagalli started sobbing lightly unable to get up, Athrun dragged himself towards Cagalli and held her close drawing her into a warm embrace.

"Everyone, I want all spare weapons in that Kubelwagen now." Major Park ordered. "Sergeant Asuka, get yourself an MP40 now, that machinegun won't be any good in a rescue operation like this." Major Park pointed to the Kubelwagen full of MP40's. "Anyone who wants to eat but hasn't already should go now and do so, we leave in a couple of hours, everyone get ready." Major Park ordered his squad. After preparing early, Captain Bratkov and Major Park had for once talked about normal everyday things rather than military actions. "Major, do you have a wife or girlfriend?" Captain Bratkov curiously eyed. Major Park immediately answered: "No, none at all Captain." Major Park replied. "I have a wife and a little girl waiting for me in the motherland." Captain Bratkov said. "So why don't you have a wife or girlfriend? Has it ever come to mind?" Captain Bratkov asked curiously. "To be honest with you, I don't want one, my life is in the military. God told me that my mission was to fight and be an influential person in this hellish war, so after this war… I'm only going to be a mere figure of history." Major Park said in an easy voice. Captain Bratkov felt sympathetic towards Major Park. Kira interrupted, "Major Park, do you have anymore fuel?" Major Park got up and directed Kira towards an entire barrel of octane gasoline.

Darkness consumed the ZAFT controlled countryside once again. Major Park readied his squad for the great rescue operation and probably the most important in military history.

"Alright squad, everyone be vigilant. Jensen, you're driving the Kubelwagen and you're gonna be following Lieutenant Yamato's tank, everyone else, we'll save our energy and hitch on Yamato's tank until we get close to our target. You know what to do when we get there. We get inside castle, clear out castle, get weapons from barracks and dead guards, free all prisoners, distribute weapons and ammo to prisoners, send them to spread out and then high tail it outta there." Major Park said briefly. "Any questions?" Major Park asked. A long silence filled the air. "Good, let's knock out that prisoner and rescue Miss Cagalli."
