Hello, everyone! This is Czar Joseph, once again and I'm back for this story! Anyway, this is the part 2 for The Songstress of ZAFT, well, since took a half of the it that was working on the previous chapter, while I taken the other for the new one, so far, didn't want to end up like Takeshi1225, the author of NaruSaku stories, includes 'Ultimate Maken Shinobi', like the way Naruto act like Jojo with…

"ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!"

Anyway, since back to the previous chapter about meeting Lacus Clyne, herself; first that Lacus looked surprised to see her friend Ichika, so far he had his own path he was taken…

So, once Tekkadan will have the attention to the Earth Sphere, both ZAFT and EA, knowing that they possessed advance technology such as Ahab Reactor.

While decide to keep the Minovsky Nuclear Reactor for Barbatos, Bael, and Gusion. So far if I wanted to make it gain unlimited energy and fuel, while the Ahab Reactors will be used for other mobile suits such as Astaroth and Vidar.

Now, we have a special guest and includes having another OC owned by me, with a help of Gamerman22 for this idea, and he will be the pilot of Gundam Astaroth.

So, this OC will be a male for this story.

…But…walang problema!


= {~} [] {~} = Replied Review = {~} [] {~} =

(:Lock:) – Served as Pin reply review from previous chapters.

ericsofly2: Sorry, had Luna onto Gaara's harem, sorry, that decision have already made. Reminded of Heero x Lunamaria. So, can't do that.

CrimsonStarBlade: Yeah, I was planning to have George lived.

That paragraph will be a good use once meeting up with the EA Fleet.

…Well, I am not sure if it will worth of challenged if George will taken…

NinjaFang1331: Thank you.

PhenexGundamKai: Yeah, I guess I did. I'm sure this will feel better to have this new chapter for sure.

It sure does for having Plasma Energy Ammunition, it surely does. Giriko-99 did had used Arc Rounds that did countered PS Armor since its powered by electricity.

While that idea was formed about last year, I can't remember, it has to do with one of my previous chapters that I left the explanation and noted about 'Special Ammunition' that being mentioned, about Chapter 4.

Since these ammunitions were basically based on UV bullets in Underworld, includes energy-emitted bullets from Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, there are some energon weapons such as the Neutron Assault Rifle and Nuclean Charge Rifle.

This Special Ammunition is High-explosive just like the Russian sniper that fires a Explosive bullet that hit Simo Häyha, the World's Deadliest Sniper in Finland in Cold War, onto the side of his lower jawbone. Similar to Incendiary rounds, which you have read about when Gaara shot the GINN's leg that explodes, just like a single-shot beam.

sleipnir32: Actually, I did to have this story to had 'Supernatural', since Cosmic Era weren't aware about having supernatural beings hidden in public, so turns out, they were from another world or perhaps DxDverse. ^^,

for a simple reason why Rias and Akeno came? Rias runaway, while Akeno followed her, leaving her peerage, if she decide to bring them into Cosmic Era, which that would made their new life, after all. That made the Devil Society went uproar and why joyful.

So, here's an idea based on 'What is the Cost' by ThatTallGuy, before Rias and her peerage transported to another world, Cosmic Era, the spirit Hagoromo Otsutsuki offered her and her peerage to leave this world, never return, and while Issei can return to his world, accordingly, only he can going to the dimension.

Until meeting Naruto Uzumaki and his brothers includes friend, Menma and Gaara, during their journey, you see, before Cosmic Era, it was still during the Post-Shinobi Era, since devils can live longer than humans/mortals, so far, since the Immortal Ancient Ninjas were also gods as well, walked through the world, which of course that until Koneko/Shirone sensed their powerful chakra and Senjutsu.

So far, with the immortal ninja Naruto was a master of Senjutsu, so she can teach her how to control the Arts of Nature.

Well…to think that I'm starting to be just like Ornstein the Dragon Slayer, used to read the Naruto x Ghost in the Shells Crossover since it was deleted. Not to mention 'Stalker: Wolves of the Zone (Retitled)' and Blacklight: Ascension', if I was inspired by Ornstein's work, so I can do the same.

Ranma2387: Thank you. Yeah, decide to write a date and time consists of creation, finished, and update, includes editing, since I'd used to read many fanfics with no details of dated in the past before I'd joined.

cruzcartoon: Thanks again. I'm eager to talk about.

No other choice, since Sylvia is the best choice for Gaara. After all, during his travels, he did saved her and her brother Cecil from Blue Cosmos, and taken them under his wing and hide them from the anti-Coordinator terrorist group.

YeagerMeister31: Thank you for not disliking Lacus, and I'm sure I'm a fan of her songs such as 'Fields of Hope' and 'In the Quiet Night'.

Yeah, I'm sure that the mobile suit Ichika will piloted, it will be on me since I managed something that I done a while. It took me time to gotten all the details. Yeah, Ichika's sisters will be shocked for expecting to see him joined not just EA, but Tekkadan.

I know it's weird for having Lacus sharing a room with Naruto, I'm sure that he will until it was cut off by Lacus' stomach, can't blame her, OK?

Glad Athrun wasn't your fav characters, includes Kira.

And yeah, Mu will have his Zero to be modified, and had its linear cannon to be chambered with its new ammunition. It will be surprised the Le Creuset about the Zero's modified armaments.

Leon Skywalker: Thank you, if you read in chapter 12? Lincoln does have Lily on his arms. Well, Lily is on the trailer or perhaps with the refugees. Yeah, since Lupus was meant for Isacc, after all, that is best choice? Don't worry about the color scheme; it will be just like in Golden Sun game his attire's color scheme. As for the weapon, he will wields a Sword Mace or the New Longsword, it has to do with the Hashmel package.

I was hoping for Garet piloting another Gusion either Heavy Armored and/or Remake version. Take your pick.

thor94: Thank you…

Yeah, I did to make alternates. It sure does since Mu needing his Zero a modification and had swap new ammunition for energy-tip ammunitions belongs to Tekkadan.

Seeing Lacus remains Naruto of Sakura, if she ever taken relationship, I'm a hardcore NaruSaku fan.

I'm sure you are eager for this next chapter about Naruto and Tekkadan will be facing Elena's Brigade.

Ichika's sisters DID learn about Heliopolis' destruction cause by Le Creuset during the meeting if you haven't pay attention reading.


Noticed: I had received permission from LoDsIx regarding borrowing the lines of Maelstrom of Cosmic Era; because I will be revised and write this story and even this is a different one, of course.

Hope that you'll be expecting than this, due to my very experience of Gundam SEED, since the original was being announced, and I didn't have best time to getting all of the episodes, and includes Remastered version and the rest.

This story will be so~ epic…!

[Chapter 14: Angel Onboard - The Songstress of ZAFT - Part 2]


(Previously)

Lacus seemingly snaps out of whatever trance she was in and looks back down to the assembled crowd, making a confused 'Huh?' or 'Eh?' at her current predicament, clearly confused by her current location and who the group of people are below her.

"Oh, how rude." The pink-haired girl told herself as she tried to float down but was having trouble getting her balance.

"Haro! Haro! Haro!" The pink robotic ball chattered out, and yells out. "Haro, Lacus!"

With Naruto, seeing her confusion at her surroundings, includes she was drifting away, uncontrollably, as he quickly reaches out to grab her, preventing the pink-haired girl (Lacus) from drifting even further.

"Haro! Haro!"

Naruto pulled her down before the pink-haired guest reply.

"Thank you." She says addresses the Barbatos' pilot with a grateful tone, before looking at the blonde.

Naruto was being stunned at her beauty, he could only mutter with a blush on his cheek.

"Oh, no problem, 'ttebayo." He appreciated, lets out his verbal tick on the last sentence.


"Oh my…" She says tilting her head in an innocent manner, lets out a slight gasp as she comes to a realization.

"Oh my!" She remarks, placing her hand on her cheek after her smile was faded into slight dismay as she saw everyone present in uniforms of EA. "This isn't a ZAFT ship, is it?"

Hearing her inquiring, confusing, except for Gaara and Menma, the assembled crowd.

"Is that so? Oh no, oh no!" The pink Haro added, spouts out somewhat annoyingly and several members of Tekkadan personnel had to restrain themselves from shooting or throw something (like a wrench) at that thing.

Seeing such awkward, making Natarle and Menma smacks their respective hands against their faces in exasperation. Joined by Gaara and Garet that they let out a sighs at the same time for this exasperation, includes Lincoln and Isaac were also joined this as well, except, some of the members of Tekkadand had gone on numerous occasions to her concerts when they seen it in the PLANTs.

Sans for Naruto, who was still staring at her, still stunned; while the (acting) Captain spoke up.

"Umm…Pardon?" The Archangel's (Acting) Captain asks confusingly.

And as Naruto could only say one word to her, still looked stunned, while Kurama within his mindscape couldn't help to see his partner's face looked priceless.

"Uhh…welcome?" The blonde said with his eyes blinked at her.


"It sure does, Mu…" Menma reply, which that gotten Mu's attention. "I'll tell you every detail about Ichika, later. So far, there's something that he needed to be informed."

"Why's that?" Mu asked.

"Well, we expecting a 'Delivery Boy' will come." Menma answered, as he turns to Murrue. "Captain Ramius, as the captain of the Archangel, I would like to gain permission to take my leave for the salvaged task."

"Eh, why?" Murrue asked wondering.

"Well, we're going to get the package for Ichika." Menma answered.

"A package?" The Archangel's acting-Captain inquired.

"Got a message from one of our ships who are with us that send into, we expecting a transport arriving within a few hours; it will be sending in…" He explained, and mentally added. '…a new mobile suit.'

"What sort of package?" Natarle says gotten curious when she heard from Menma.

"It's not really an important cargo. Something that we were hoping for prepared." Menma replied.

"So, who's going to take it?" Mu asked.

'Or operate it.' Menma says in thoughts, correctly, before he answered.

"It's Ichika; actually, he will be the one to take it. Knowing that package was meant for Ichika will be put for a good use."

"For Ichika, eh? Wondered what special of this package for him is going to be like." Mu said with a bit of curiosity, wondering about the coming mobile suit will arrive.

"Hmph, you'll see." Menma replied smirk on his face.


*Phone rings!*

As the blue-haired ZAFT pilot continues to shower, the quarter's communicator starts to sound off.

Unfortunately, Athrun does not react to it immediately as he receives a flashback to the conversation he had with his father, Patrick Zala on the shuttle and reminisces about his mother. He had a reflecting of his later mother, Lenore, a lovely woman with short blue-hair and the ssame green eyes as her son, in the back of his mind.

Includes he had a mental flashback the mysterious pilot of the Black Knight (Black Knight) during the last encounter, he recalled that time (in CH07) regarding those words said to him back then.

_"…And I would have broken my promise to Kira."_ - The voice of Black Knight's mysterious pilot.

_"What promise?"_ - Athrun's own voice, on his mental flashback.

_"Asked him, yourself; and same goes with my comrades who keeping 'his' promise, as well."_ - Black Knight's pilot responded.

'Wonder what made him keep a promise to Kira? What do you mean, exactly?' He says in thoughts, feeling unsure and struggled to figure it out what promise from the pilot of the Black Knight.


["Miss Lacus Clyne, acting representative to this memorial, was also the ship."]

An image of the pink-haired songstress appeared on-screen, alerting Athrun in shock as he head to where the screen was the moment Lacus' name was mentioned and her picture appeared on the news.

["Every effort is being made to confirm her safety."]

The news continues to scare the blue-haired redcoat as he lets out a gasp and moves closer to the screen, properly taking the news in.

["I repeat, Observation Ship 'Silverwind', which was on its way to Junius Seven for preparations to send a group there for its first anniversary memorial service has been missing since last night."]

The conclude statement from the male reporter, causing Athrun to gasp, with at a loss of words at hearing the pink-haired songstress having gone missing along with the rest of the Silverwind's crew and prayed nothing terrible happened to them after hearing they left for Junius Seven in preparation for the 1-year anniversary of the 'Bloody Valentine Tragedy' last night.

"Lacus…?" He muttered.


"Thank you very much for picking up the pod." Lacus compliments the officers san Naruto, before making some introduction. "Just as my friend Ichika had told you people about me. So, my name is Lacus Clyne."

"Haro, Lacus, Haro!" The small pink robot in her hands chants.

Lacus held up the small pink robot Haro in her hands.

"And this is Haro or as I like to call him, Mr. Pink."

"Haro, Haro. You too!" Mr. Pink (Haro) chanted. "Haro, Haro!"


"Clyne, is it?" Mu began wondered knowingly, as Natarle slides the door behind them. "I wanted to you to confirm it. If it's true from your friend, Ichika, then you have the same name as the current ZAFT Supreme Council Chairman, Siegel Clyne."

Murrue and Natarle had heard it right from Ichika regarding he had known her and who is related to, made her tilt of what she heard from Mu.

"Why, Siegel Clyne is my father." Lacus replied in a cheerful tone. "Do you know him?"


As Kira took a glance at the fallen colony was once a home of many souls who was perished by a single nuke, and that includes Athrun's mother as well. He can't shake the feeling about how many people had died in the 'Bloody Valentine Tragedy'.

So, Kira was on high alert; he wanted to make sure that the crew would get enough of the supplies so that the Archangel would finally leave the remains of Junius Seven behind them. Although, to be sure that there will be pirates of ZAFT would come to attack.

Then, Kira thought about Naruto looked pretty upset at him for the stunt he had pulled, earlier. So the best for he will get punish once the supply run is settled once they had enough supplies and water to leave Junius Seven, soon. The fact that he almost kill two people to save that he cared about, caused his hands to start shaking on the controllers.

'When will this damn war end?' He says in thoughts, wondering as he was now in deep thought, while checking around to make sure that there wouldn't be any more ZAFT Forces around to discover their location.


"Well, I guess that will be all for this meeting, Ms. Lacus." Murrue says adjourned with a smile, before looking at Naruto. "If you would, Naruto, will it be if she could stay in your quarters? And also, being a guide when she wants to go out of your quarters? Not just as POW, but also a guest."

"Its fine, Captain, I'll accept it for this recommendation, but if the lady would want it. So, that's it." Naruto reply accepted, now looking at Lacus for permission.

"Oh, it will be just fine with me!" Lacus says happily, while looking at the blonde, had given him gratitude for herself to stay with.

"Then it's settled. Now, return to your quarters and get her acquainted with the facilities, later, Naruto…But the last thing we need is to have is to have the entire ZAFT forces gunning after us if a single hair falls out of her hair. After that, you can do whatever you want unit the next engagement. After all, I appreciated for having Tekkadan is our contractor." Murrue concluded.

"Tekkadan…?" Lacus wondered, before she heard Naruto's name called out from the captain of the Archangel.

Naruto bowed at the Archangel's captain like the same way back at Heliopolis, and vowed.

"Understood, Captain Murrue Ramius of the Archangel…We Tekkadan will make sure continue this employment with you. And addition, we'll be under custody of Supreme Council Chairman's daughter, Lacus Clyne."

"Very well, I'm counting on you." Murrue replied.


"So, can you tell me about what was Ichika doing here? I'd overheard him called you 'Boss'?" She questioned.

"Oh, well, I believe I'm the leader of the group called 'Tekkadan', we're not part of the EA just like Ichika, unlike these guys. Let's say we're…private contractors of sorts." Naruto replied.

"So, you people are mercenary is what you're saying, yes?" Lacus inquired.

"Well…um…let's just say 'private contractors' since that's friendlier terms than mercenary." Naruto replied with a sheepish manner with his hand scratch through his hair.

The pink-haired teenager just gave a small giggle at Naruto.

"Um…about Tekkadan? It means 'Iron Flower' right?" She concludes, questioned.

"That's right, 'the Iron Flower that never wilts and never dies'." Naruto replied with a quote.

"Oh my, that's so noble!" Lacus remarked at the motto of Tekkadan.


Ichika Orimura was within the Space-type Mobile Worker, as he took out two photos of himself with his sisters and includes two childhood friends.

Ichika frowns at the memory he had recalled since then Houki did told him to do this and told him that, so far she did made a 'good job' for wanted him to be behave himself since then. So far, forced against his owned free will that didn't go well for unable to join the ZAFT military.

For now, after his kidnap attempt since it was a failure at the moment, he did have under Menma's tutelage since he did save him, and joined Tekkadan being part of FOX.

"Houki…I'm very disappointed…" He muttered with emotionless expression. "…Back in the good ol' days, you always told me to behave in a good manner…Yet, you've got some pretty bad manners yourself."

Ichika went mind-searching regarding Houki's sudden manner regarding being stubbornness and pride.

"…Chifuyu-nee…this time, I'll show you that I'm not the worth of time for you…" He concluded.

So far…this is his choice he had made for his own free will…


Athrun Zala exits an elevator into the Airlock area, along with Miguel Aimen in his signature green uniform as they met up with their superior. The two green coats salute him, which the two returned back, as they moved out of the Elevator and down the corridor.

Athrun and Miguel noticed Rau Le Creuset and Patrick Zala were standing there, along with Alex Seymour. As they floated past the two men, respectfully saluting them, briefly, and was able to enter the ship was currently docked, before a voice calls out the blue-haired redcoat.

"Athrun!" Patrick addressed his son sternly; causing the Aegis pilot to pause in his track so that could listen to what his father had to tell him. "I assume you've heard about Ms. Lacus?"

"Yes." Athrun responded with a somber tone…


"All the PLANTs are aware that you and Ms. Lacus are destined to be together as one." Chairman Zala spoke up, preventing his son from finishing what he was going to say. "So the Le Creuset team, which you're part of, can't exactly sit back and do nothing."

"Then…" Athrun began to start to say something, looking at Rau, who sports a slight smile…


"…She's a well-loved idol." Chairman Zala declared, concluding.

As it would be really saddening should any harm come to the current Chairman of the Supreme Council's daughter and knew that they'll need to do their best in order to successfully bring her home.

"We're counting on you, Le Creuset, Athrun."

Hearing this from the Defense Chairman Patrick Zala gave regards to the Le Creuset Team for Godspeed; both Athrun and Rau saluting to him.

"Sir!" Rau responded, saluting the Chairman along with Athrun.


"…So I'm to save her and come back playing the part of the hero?" Athrun asked in a sarcastic tone, as at least he wouldn't have to face Kira in battle again, not for a while.

"…Or come back with her body and cry like crazy." Rau responded; surprising Athrun in shocked over what his superior just said. "Whichever it is, Committee Chairman Zala believes that you're the only one to go. We especially might need you in case we encountered those 3 Knight machines."


"Oh yes, I forgot to mentioned that Commander Chifuyu Orimura along with her second-in-command and sister will be joining us on this mission." He concluded.

This shocked the Zala boy and Magic Bullet of Dusk, as they heard about Chifuyu Orimura; a Commander who was ferocious knight on the battlefield also known as the 'Silver Knight', along her sister, the 'Shadow Knight', Madoka Orimura. If they were coming along, then that just meant the severity of the task at hand.

"You're kidding…the Silver and Shadow Knights!" Miguel says in shocked about the Orimura sisters between older and younger, wasn't looked expecting to had them joined this pursuit.


["Ma'am! The Earth Alliance Warship is on the move!"] The male communications officer informed.

Since Elena had ordered to keep their eyes and ears on the sensors, includes keeping an eye on the EA warship that is being stopped, wondered what they were up to since their arrival, accordingly since the Recon-type GINN was decimate that gotten their attention.

"Really!?" Elena says with an excited tone, with wonderful music on her ears.

Elena was embarked her personal CGUE mobile suit, she is an excellent pilot when comes with wielding just a Heavy Blade, but this weapon is custom made for her since she requested to have crafted this sword is similar to 18th century swords.

["Yes, ma'am, it's moving away from remains of Junius Seven!"] He reply confirmed.

Elena smile sinisterly for gotten this opportunity, as she prepared to made her move with her fleet, as she grip the controllers.

"Good, since we'll leave the search to Yun Law for Ms. Lacus…! Now, let's commence the attack!"


They both were settled in each of their bed sides, just being silent and doing their own thing of their respective activities. Naruto was now lying on his bed, reading a book; and while Lacus was just sat at her bedside, feeling saddened and grief.

That caught Naruto had notices Lacus' expression, as he closed his book then lay it down besides him and got up from his bed and walked up to her, before kneel down in front of her and said.

"Is something bothering you, Lacus? Why are you looked sad?" Naruto asked to the pink-haired beauty.

Lacus looking at his face and smiled and replied.

"Oh, it's just that I was thinking of the people who perished at Junius Seven…"

As she paused for a moment, before asks Naruto a question.

Um…if it's okay with you, could you tell me your name?" Lacus asked to the blonde for introduction.

"Oh, right, we haven't been properly introduced." Naruto reply expecting for introduction, before standing up and raised his hand to her, offered; and the blonde had spoke up with a smile.

"My name is Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki. It's nice to meet you, Ms. Lacus."

With Lacus stood up, accepts the hand gesture, and hold his hand, then replied.

"It's nice to meet you too as well, Naruto. And please, just call me Lacus." She says with a angelic smile at him.


Out in the corridor, Kira was on his way to the Mess Hall/Cafeteria to grab a bite to eat. Since after they resupplied in both provisions and water, meaning that everything was settled when they gotten what they needed for the refugees.

However, Kira's thoughts drifted back to the encounter with the Reconnaissance-Type GINN, alongside with Naruto, before it was taken care of; but until he stops and his head was clicked at sudden revelation.

'That GINN…Could it been…?' He thought as the memory of Naruto bisecting the ZAFT Recon-Type MS down once again flashed through his mind, before he took a shoot on its arm, glad that he didn't finish it before his blonde friend does, as Kira glanced down at his hand.

"Kira?"

"Huh?" Kira startled when his deep thoughts were cut off by a Flay's voice, as he turned around and met face-to-face with Flay.

"Hi, Flay." He said to her with a light smile. "What brings you here? I thought you would be with the others at the cafeteria?"

"I was about to, when I was on my way to going there when I saw you. I just wanted to make sure you were alright." Flay reply with a shrug.


"Actually, I never made Birdy myself…" Kira spoke again after reflecting on what to tell the red-haired girl and especially as while it was true he rewrote the OS for the Strike during battle, he wasn't capable of making something like Birdy or at least not that he knew of.

"…it was a gift from a friend." Kira answered, lowered his head, slightly. The solemn reaction made Flay a bit concern/worried at sudden change of his expression.

He remained silent for a moment, leaving her speechless as she waited for an answer.

'Was it something I said?' She says to herself in thoughts, wondered what made Kira struck him into his own core, as she spoke up to him for this sudden subject that needed to be drop and gave him some space.

"You don't have to answer, Kira. I'll leave."

With that she said, as Flay was about to leave towards to the cafeteria, when she felt his hang grapping her hold of hers.

"Don't go…!" He muttered nearly shouted, convincing, as the red-haired girl turned to face him once again.

After a few more seconds of silence, Kira had finally answered after let go of her hand.

"His name is Athrun Zala; we met at Copernicus City when we were children."

Flay was speechless about what Kira looked trouble about his friend Athrun.

"I see. The two of you must have been very close." She says didn't expecting Kira's friend.

"Yes, we are…" Kira replied with a hint of sadness in his voice. "I thought that nothing could separate us, but 7 years later, Athrun and I went our separate ways. My family moved to Heliopolis and I never saw him again…until the day Heliopolis was attacked."

"What are you saying? What are you talking about, Kira?" Flay asks, confused about Kira was talking about.

"He's becoming a ZAFT soldier and my enemy now, as he pilots one of the 4 stolen machines - GAT-X303 Aegis." He declares an answered to Flay, clenched his fists as his thoughts flashed of his encounter with Athrun, the first flashback was went back at the Heliopolis where seeing face-to-face atop of the Strike (in CH01).


"Yo, Kira!"

Kira and Flay were startled and turns around to see Naruto on the corridor, until they noticed Lacus' presence, the guest who brought onboard the Archangel, who is accompany with him.

"Oh my…!" Lacus spoke up expecting to see Kira and Flay on this corridor, and while her pink Haro flapping its little 'ears' ecstatically.

"Haro! I'm fine and so are you!" The small robot chirped.

Kira and Flay were both shocked and surprised all at once; expecting to see the pinkette guest that Naruto was accompany with.

"…Um, Naruto…what are she doing out here with you?" Kira questioned Naruto before broke out of silence.


"Give me a break." Mu complained as he floated past Murrue, garnering her attention. "The minute we just solved the problem with the supplies, we get thrown another in the form of a pink-haired princess?"

He casually leaned against the railing, and he continues.

"The endless challenges we face a real treat with no limit, Ms. Captain." He added, gave the buxom brunette a playful salute.

Mu knew she had something to do with Naruto when she had first lay eyes on him, so he decides to keep it for himself if he'll burst some bubbles to tease her.

Murrue gave a sigh and knew that he was right, but there was nothing else they could do right now.

"What choice do we have?" Murrue started, obviously not liking the situation anymore than the Hawk of Endymion. "We're stuck taking that girl to Lunar Headquarters."


"So, let get me straight, you want to customize your Zero fitted with beam weaponry on the Gunbarrels?" Gaara says regarding this briefing from Mu, regarding his Moebius Zero with a lack of beam weaponry due to ballistic projectiles.

"Yeah, it is Gaara, and that includes the Zero's Linear Gun, I noticed you blown the GINN's leg back at Heliopolis with that rifle of yours. I noticed its ballistic projectile wasn't just an ordinary one when I see one." Mu replied recalled several events regarding Gaara's Gusion fired its single bullet of the 120mm Long-Range Rifle (in CH04).

"You want to have the special ammunition as Gusion has, right?" Gaara inquired.

"That's right; I didn't want to wait any longer, knowing what does gonna happen." Mu stated, regarding having special ammunition Gaara mentioned.

Gaara nod his head for understandable regarding 4 of the stolen G-Weapons were equipped with PS Armor, so the arsenals of Mu's Zero are futile against those prototype G-Weapons (aka Gundams).

"Very well, I'm sure that it is time to share our arsenals, it is time to show you what the secret of this kind of ammo is." Gaara reply obliged.


"Yes…" Lacus replied as she turns her attention towards Kira. "So, are you're the pilot who saw my ship on the Debris Belt?"

Which made Kira nodding his head to the pink-haired songstress to confirm about Silverwind had sunken back at the Debris Belt.

"U-uh, yes, I was, there weren't survivors onboard when I saw the civilian ship." Kira replied, that made Lacus sadden at the touchy subject about the ship she was onboard.

"I see, thank you…May I ask for your name?" She said before realizing she didn't know the pilot's name.

"My name's K-Kira…Kira Yamato." Kira reply introduction rubbing behind his hand, as he gestures at Flay, while the redhead could help to see his timid expression. "And this is Flay Allster."

"It's nice to meet you, Ms. Lacus Clyne." Flay greeted.

At first the name didn't ring any bells, but Lacus' mind quickly made the connection, Kira Yamato was the boy that Athrun would almost always talk about, however it could've been just a coincidence that they had the same name but she to be absolutely sure.

That made Lacus gasped at the name from the brown-haired Coordinator.

"Do you happen to know a boy named Athrun Zala? If I'm right, you're his friend from Copernicus City?" She asked.

Now it was Kira's turned to agape at the pinkette, includes Flay as well, sans Naruto looked tensed about the name of Patrick Zala's son and the former's best friend.

"Y-Yes, that's right, how do you know?" He asked completely bewildered.

"Athrun told me about you. I never thought that I'd have the chance to meet you face to face." Lacus said, still a bit shocked. "He never stopped thinking about you and he had hoped to see you, again."

"I see…" Kira says sighed, thought about his best friend rushing about his mind. He knew that if they reached EA's Lunar Headquarters, he wouldn't have to worry about fighting against him again.

"Wait a minute…!" He realized something. "You know Athrun?"

"Of course I know him, Mr. Yamato." She replied with a gentle smile. "He's a very close friend of mine; we've meet him we were children and…"

*Faint growl~!*

Lacus' sentence was cut off by the sound of her stomach with a faint growl, again, that made her cheeks in embarrassed about it, making Naruto chuckled.

"It sounds like her stomach looked pretty impatient for this conversation." Naruto says smirked teasingly, seeing Lacus lets out a cute pout towards him.

"Yeah, most of us were hungry after all the supply run we gotten everything after we left." Kira agrees, before turns to Lacus. "So, you and Athrun are childhood friends?"

Kira was surprised at her for even saying that. She responded by nodding her head.

"You know, you don't have to call me 'Mr. Yamato'; Kira is fine." He added insisting.

"Alright…Kira." Lacus replied smiling for his insists…


"…So, I take it that you had witnessed Junius Seven?" Naruto questioned since Flay's experience in Junius Seven.

"Yes…But, it was horrible! This is wrong! Is that…it wasn't supposed to…" Flay says still in shocked about many souls within the remains in Junius Seven and its fated tragedy, she cannot to see many man, woman, and children died in last year, which why her father did support the Blue Cosmos.

"Flay, I know you're still had fears and deep hatred towards Coordinators…" Naruto replied to the redhead. "Except for the people who gave the right to judge; Coordinators are still human like you, me, and/or the rest of the crew. I don't care if any of them are Coordinators or not, just like Lacus and Kira. What matters is what lies beneath that person."

Flay looked up at Naruto with those words hit her, so far that it is true regarding Coordinators were human being as well, since then due to genetic modification, includes some Naturals who fond with Coordinators and includes half-breeds as well.

"Also, just don't judge people when you don't even know them. I hate people whose look down on others just because they are born different." He concluded.

(Chapter Continues)

==Archangel, Cafeteria/Mess Hall==

By now everyone had heard of the Archangel's new guest. Currently, Kira's friends, includes 3 disciples of the Gundam pilots/Ancient ninjas, sans Jenna was on the counter preparing meals for both refugees, the crew, and most of their members.

Everyone was completely admitted at Jenna's cooking is surely looks good than MREs. Glad that they gotten supplies from remains of Junius Seven, so most of the other ingredients such as fishes that being trapped on the ice is pretty fresh and new since its destruction.

They were sitting down and talking about the new arrival, while most of the members of Tekkadan had doing their activities such as seeing Isaac sharpened his Folding Sword he had, along with a plate of 3 ham sandwich on the table contrary by his girlfriend's specialty.

"So, this Lacus Clyne is actually the daughter of the Supreme Chairman of the PLANTs?" Mir asked genuinely curious as to what a girl like her would be doing in the Debris Belt.

"It is, according to Ichika, she was here because she was helping with a memorial service to the victims of the 'Bloody Valentine Tragedy'." Lincoln answered while reading a comic since it came from Cosmic Era, since comic books were being printed and to be sold.

Since before internet for decades passed before Cosmic Era calendar was replaced from 12 month calendar a year, they forget comic book stores, since most of them still on different towns to have to purchase them, dedicated to selling reading material when they can simply download it.

It is a real shame, couldn't help but agree, even libraries, book stores, and even comic shops having less and less customers due to the advancement of technology. Since Lincoln gotten the material in his owned hands, actual pages being turned. Can't understand why people would just throw history behind them like that.

Glad newer generations such as Lincoln haven't completely given up, yet. So far, since Lincoln gotten all the collections of them regarding to use them as his materials for Ace Savvy comics that needed to be well-made; since based on those comic book superheroes, and includes villains; includes new pages were publish, which can be acquired by pay in web or the store.

Since he didn't want to hiatus the other issue that when he was still progress (refer to Full House Gang). With the new gang for Ace Savvy, it's about when a villain wanted to get rid of the hero that transported into another world while the 'Card Counter' (Lisa Loud's hero version) went full investigation regarding his disappearance, and includes the hero's sudden demise. (1)

So, his progress for working on a new issue based on when Lincoln went to Cosmic Era or perhaps Ancient Elemental Nations or 'World of Ninjas (sans Samurais)'.

It's about when Ace Savvy gains conscious when his sudden arrived this new world, until he meets a Wise Sage (aka Naruto's version). He was the one found Ace and treated him once before he answered Ace's questions where he was.

Since after Lincoln's first issue was finished and published around the world, besides Naruto's Icha-Icha series and includes the 'Tale of Maelstrom Ninja (Naruto Uzumaki)', it was all about his story lifetime, since his ancient times with his brothers consists of Menma and Gaara.

Since being an anonymous author of his stories considered called as the 'Wandering Sage', as a cover-up without anyone will learned his existence, and includes his face, so using disguised (aka Henge/Transformation Jutsu).

(AN: Used the same idea from Naruto x RWBY Crossover. Since 'Wandering Sage' is the only author name for Naruto to be sure not anyone will learned his existence. This is the only best option for an alias name.)

Menma's story is also based from his, but also an alternate version includes, since the characters had swapped personality such as (RTN) Sasuke is a playboy and Hinata the bossy and confident girl, includes his late wife the timid one includes her friend Ino (RTN).

Until Naruto and Menma developed the 'Road to Ninja' story, it is about two shinobis (himself and Sakura) were transported into alternate world, that being send by Tobi (Obito) with the Limited Tsukuyomi, meeting personality swapped Rookie 12, facing .

So, they hit tons of currency around the Earth Sphere, so far, using this kind of money to gain support the orphanages and includes…under progress for formed Tekkadan once they are needed provisions and includes constructing their own transportations.

Lincoln had brought his personal belongings such as tons of paper, pencils depend how size, sharpeners, coloring tools and pens on his duffle bag.

While seeing the white-haired boy is drawing his newest issue while Tolle and Garet was eagerly looking forward for his next issue. So far, he did have tons of his many copied issues wrapped in plastic for protection once he very made a 'homecoming' (meaning his home dimension).

And while his little sister Lily, who sits next to him on the table drawing in crayon and paper; surely that she is being a 4-5 year old, while she was thinking of something regarding what to draw for her imagination. After the introduction of the little blonde girl, Flay and Mir gets to know her better since her arrival with Naruto.

"Still wondering how the hell she ended up from supporting a memorial service to floating around in an escape lifepod." Garet wondered aloud, but nobody had a real answer to that at the moment since no one had told them about what had happened onboard the shuttle when it entered the Debris Belt.

Garet didn't looked up towards the others during this conversation, he was reading a comic book of Ace Savvy, he and Tolle had read Lincoln's issue volumes since he is a part-time comic book artist, since gave each of them his latest chapter, they were a fan of his comic book writing, since give them his autograph for making a unique drawing of comic books.

So, once Lincoln had completed his issue before published, by looked over its pages carefully if there are any problems such as missing parts of the picture, if he sees the incompletion, then he'll redraw it, or make another one, and includes revised.

*Sliding door hissing!*

The automatic door to the cafeteria hissed to slide opened and until Kira and Flay were first entered, followed by Lacus that made Mir and Kuzzey, along with Lincoln, Garet, and Jenna turned their attention that made them startled by sudden appearance of the pink-haired songstress while members of Tekkadan gotten their attention with no sudden reaction.

"Oh my! Hello there, pardon me for intrusion. Please forgive me for interrupting anything for this commotion." Lacus greeted with a smile warmly with her pink Haro bouncing next to her.

"Hello! How are you? So are you! Haro!" Haro chirped.

And lastly is Naruto, who is following them from behind and saw everyone was looking at Lacus, until heard Kuzzay spoke up.

"Why wouldn't they lock her in her room?" He muttered expecting to see Lacus.

That made Naruto frowns at Kuzzey, while Lincoln and Garet heard his rude statement.

"He's such a scaredy mouse." Garet muttered at the short, meek, mousey-looking kid.

"Kuzzey! That's rude!" Mir says to the boy scolding with her eyes narrowed at him, before turned to Lacus after soften her expression. "Sorry about my friend over there, he wasn't fond with Coordinators, such as you, so no offense. So anyway, what are you doing out here?"

It's true for Kuzzey Buskirk is considered a short, meek, mousy-looking kid, with a slight fear of Coordinators.

"Since I was a guest, I figured that I would look around the ship, although I know that the bridge and the hanger are forbidden unless I'm with one of the crew or Naruto." The songstress explained gestured at the blonde. "And hopefully for Mr. Pink really wanted to step out of our room, while I'm with him, actually."

Lacus gestured her hand points at Naruto who stepped inside before Kira and Flay, just observed them.

"Naruto? You allowed her!?" Kuzzey says in disbelief at Barbatos' pilot, getting a bit hysterical regarding brought Lacus out.

"Yes, is that a problem? She's feeling hungry and thirsty, so I brought her here. And frankly, I'll be her guardian while she's onboard the Archangel." Naruto replied with his eyes narrowed. "Also…I don't like someone to say something about 'lock her' up."

That made Kuzzey flinched regarding Naruto must've heard it before Kira, Flay, and Lacus had came in.

"Uh…No, everything is fine, Naruto." He says nervously in frighten at Naruto's glare.

As Lily stepped in approaching before Kuzzey could called out to stopped her, and while Miriallia didn't stop her, includes her older brother Lincoln and the rest of Tekkadan.

"Um, Lincoln, aren't you gonna…?"

"No, Kuzzey Buskirk…" Lincoln interjected had his eyes furrowed at him that made him steps back at those eyes, before turned to the pinkette. "I don't care she's a Coordinator, she's a human being like myself and anyone else. Like Naruto-sensei said, she's a civilian. After all, they didn't want her to be treated as a prisoner since she's a civilian just like the refugees that brought onboard back at the Debris Belt."

Hearing that from Lincoln, which that made Lacus looked surprised of what she had heard at someone who defends Coordinators that stood up with. A young albino did see Coordinators as human beings after all. Noticing Lincoln's features had an overbite, with a prominent chipped front tooth.

"Wise words, Lincoln…wise words." Naruto says praised Lincoln, as went to the counter for some meal, as he went to Jenna. "Jenna? You know what I want and gave Ms. Lacus something special as the guest."

"Right away, boss!" Jenna replied as prepared to have some food in the tray for each of them, she knew the order.

As Lily Loud walked towards to the pink-haired pretty lady after looked at the Haro, which gotten Lacus attention, seeing her approaching.

"Oh!" Lacus spoke up startled, before kneel down on her knees. "May I ask of your name?"

"L-Lily Loud, Miss…" Lily replied timidly.

"Such a lovely name, your name is after a bulbous plan with large trumpet-shape, typically fragrant flowers." Lacus remarked.

"T-Thank you…" The young blonde girl replied.

"And your surname is Loud? Is it odd or is it some kind of a funny name?" Lacus stated.

"It's our surname actually, Ms. Lacus." Lincoln answered that gotten the pinkette turns to him, as he shrugged and explained. "Lily and I get that a lot. It's not in a bad way of course, so it is best to get used to it."

"Oh! I see…" Lacus says understandable regarding having a surname 'Loud' on Lincoln and Lily, and obliging Lincoln's claims to have a family name.

"You see, Kuzzey, she didn't hurt a fly because she is being nice." Miriallia stated, telling to Kuzzey, as she stood up onto the table and went to the table.

"Um…Ms. Lacus." Lily says still timid, that gotten her attention.

"Yes, little flower?" The pink-haired songstress responded.

Lily looked at the pink robot orb, before lift her finger at it.

"Does it bite?" She asked about Mr. Pink/Haro.

"Oh, you mean Mr. Pink? Of course not; he wouldn't hurt a fly." Lacus replied to Lily.

Hearing this, Flay went to Lacus, curious about her Haro, as Lily pick up the pink robot ball.

"Haro! Haro!" Haro chirped flapping its 'ears'.

As the redhead turns to Miriallia, while the latter turns to Flay, as before placing a hand on Mr. Pink. To their surprised, it really liked it.

"So, who made it?" Flay asked the first person to questioned. But she didn't see any hostilities from the songstress and still couldn't get over what Desmond told her or having seen countless bodies at the remains of Junius Seven, she wasn't even sure she would sleep after that.

"It looks kinda cute to be honest." The redhead concluded.

"Athrun Zala did." Lacus answered, that surprises Kira of what he had heard. "I have many others back at my home in Aprilius One."

"Are you serious?!" Both the girls, exclaimed in shocked at the same time.

"Really! So this Athrun person made this robot?" Lily inquired awestruck about the person did make a Haro.

Kira could not believe of what he heard from Lacus about his friend Athrun making those robotic pets, such as Birdy and Haro, making him smile slightly, he really wanted to chuckle at his blue-haired friend.

'Hmph, he hasn't changed one bit.' Kira says in thoughts, smiled for admitted regarding Athrun's hobbies.

"Okay…I didn't see that coming…" Garet muttered to himself, not sure how to respond to that as the blue-haired Coordinator, and he knew Athrun Zala is the son of the Chairman Defense Committee in the PLANTs.

"I agreed, if we tell Ichika about Lacus having so many Haros with different colors made by his truly, Athrun Zala… I wondered how he'll react to hearing this…" Lincoln agrees at Garet.

Someone like Kira knew better than Ichika did, and especially as Lacus reflected on when Athrun made the pink Haro for her and later made others like that, ones are were different colors, each of them happily bouncing around in her backyard while she kept the signature pink one in her arms with a smile on her face.

With Lacus had replied them by nodding her head.

"Aw~, I really want one of those." Lily says sighs in disappointed wanted to have a Lavender-colored Haro as a robotic pet.

"Wow…" Flay remarks, almost speechless at this revelation. "I wonder though, what is it like to live in the PLANTs?"

"Well, life there is the same as it is on Earth and we live the same way everyone else does…" Lacus began to explain about how things went in her homeland, not leaving out anything. "Although, when the Bloody Valentine Tragedy took place, my father told me that the council was furious over the people who died in Junius Seven's destruction."

"I see…" Mir says frowning. She still felt bad for what she had been at the Debris Belt and she really wished that she could do something. "Does your father know about you being here?"

"If it's about me going to the Debris Belt; then yes. Me being onboard the Archangel is another story." Lacus replied, she was saddened at the thought of her father worried about her. "I wonder if this war will ever end."

"We know how you feel…" Mir started speaking. "We ended up here after a ZAFT team attacked Heliopolis, and we've been doing our best to help the crew with their conflicts."

"Lieutenant La Flaga told me about what took place before you came to the Debris Belt and found me." Lacus admitted. "I never thought that it would end up this way…And I take it you're one of Kira's friends, are you not?"

"Yes, my name is Miriallia Haw." Mir replied, as her thumb pointed at Kuzzey. "This one sitting in the table is Kuzzey."

Mir turned her eyes on Kira and Flay, and asks the pinkette.

"I take it that you already met Kira and Flay already, huh." She concluded.

"Yes, I met them, includes Kira. In any case, I am not a natural like you or Ichika, but we don't belong with the Earth Forces. Believe me." Lacus replied.

"Here you go, sir." Jenna says placing two sets of food tray and a two cups of full water, that gotten from Junius Seven, on the counter. "Freshly hot and freshly served, the water is clean."

"Thanks, Jenna." Naruto replied as taken the trays in each hand and the first was supposed to be for Lacus and the other is also for himself, as he went to Lacus, noticing her having good time to get to know Kira's friends well, making him smiled.

"I can see that everything is settled while I was waiting for the food. I've noticed that you all getting along with Lacus." Naruto stated.

"Yes, we were about to talk about when what she's like living in the PLANTs, includes Lily, she's playing with her Pink Haro." Mir replied noticing Lily is playing with Mr. Pink, until seeing she took out a paper and crayons.

"Hold still, Mr. Pink? I wanted to draw you!" Lily says to the pink robotic pet, due to being pacing side-by-side.

"Okay! Okay! Haro!" Haro chirped obliging, stopped pacing along with flapping its 'ears', that made Lily giggled at his antics, after that as the blonde toddler began to draw the Haro.

"I can see that." Naruto commented, before turned to the young blonde loud girl. "I can tell that she wanted that, too."

"Yeah, turns out, this Haro was made by this person named Athrun making that Haro, includes she said she had many at her home." Mir explained.

"He did, he's a kind individual, but he is on the quiet side, through, it was very sweet of him to give me this Haro." Lacus concluded, while her pink Haro was stood still for Lily to picture it. "I told him how many pleasure it brought me having Haro around to keep me company. Then he kept me given me another and another."

"Is that right? Sounds like Athrun hasn't changed one bit…" Kira began Kira, reminding him of when he first received Birdy from Athrun on the day they went their separate ways and before the war between the Alliance and ZAFT started. "I was lucky enough to bring along my Birdy which he also made."

"Torii!"

Kira's Birdy flew into his owner's shoulder that gotten Lily attention.

"Is that yours, Mr. Kira?" Lily asked about the yellow-green mechanical bird while gazing at.

"Yes, Birdy is also made by Athrun, as well." Kira answered, which there's no needed to hide it.

"Wow! First a robot ball, then now a robot bird!" The young blonde girl awed at those robotic pets.

'Oh! So it was that gaki for making those annoying things!' Kurama's voice in Naruto's mind, sneered at the blue-haired Coordinator for making those annoying Haros, after being Kira's best friend since he did had hobbies.

'Hey, cool it, furball; it's not his fault for he keeps making those Haros.' Naruto interjects Kurama, keeping his partner from attempted for 'murdered' Athrun. 'Besides, it's a hobby of his, not to mention he is the one making a robotic pet bird for Kira during the seperation.'

With that, he could hear a 'tsk' from Kurama, and resume his slumber, as Naruto made some adjustments for his mindscape by concentrate his mind.

'There! I remodel the mindscape with soundproof and includes keep my eyes view active if you can watched it without a sound, so feel free to tap it by use your chakra pulse, if you need me; if I'll informed you about the Haro had stopped chirping.' Naruto concluded.

'I'll keep that in mind, but thanks, kit. Now finally! Some peace and quiet!' Kurama appreciated.

Naruto couldn't help regarding Kurama needed some sleep, after he heard a faint snored after formed the soundproof barrier in the mindscape, who couldn't blame him, and so went back to the others, while prepared to eat with Lacus…

"Lacus, the food is served!" Naruto called out, that gotten the pink-haired attention and expecting for have her stomach filled.

"Oh my, thank you for informed me." Lacus replied, before she went to the table seated besides Naruto and turns to Mr. Pink holding by Lily. "Lily, feel free to play with Mr. Pink if you want."

"Really?" Lily says happily, given a nod by Lacus. "Oh, thank you, Ms. Lacus!"

"Mr. Pink, be good with Lily." She concluded, towards her Haro.

"Haro! No problem! No problem!"

With that, as Lacus went to Naruto, as she sat beside him that seeing her tray contains some distant meals.

As they began to eat, as much as within minutes later, until Lacus were surprised to see a couple of children dressed in Tekkadan green and tan/dark gray uniform entered the cafeteria, includes Ivan. Besides Ivan, they were about age of 13-15…

…But, noticing that one of them didn't wore its jacket, shown its tight skin suit consists leaving just hands, if wore gloves, noticing it had some sort of device onto its back that gotten the Heliopolis crew and Lacus, sans Kira.

"What that on his back…?" Kira muttered wondered while Flay overheard him saying.

"Hey, Jenna!" Ivan inquired, greets at Tekkadan's cook.

"Oh, hey Ivan, guys, I take it the usual?" Jenna replied regarding members of Tekkadan wanted some food.

With Naruto and the co, includes Kira and the Heliopolis crew, adding Lacus, expecting to see Ivan's engineering crew entered the cafeteria, by judging their appearance, they were just kids.

"Excuse me, Naruto, who are they?" Lacus asked Naruto about Ivan and his gang.

"They're with me, I lead a group what you saw before were…helped to maintain our machines." He answered.

"Oh…" Lacus says understandable. "…Are they child soldiers?"

"…" Naruto went silent, which it's no use for hiding from others.

"…I see…" Lacus concludes, didn't want an answer from him, but don't had to, which it is shocking for the pinkette seeing child soldiers entered the battlefield, includes some other 16-year old individuals were recommend onto this group.

Lacus felt that if she wanted to upset about having a child soldiers such as Lincoln Loud, since before she never fond with violence since she took a first glance at the handgun conceal underneath his jacket. So far, seeing the white-haired boy is age of 14-15, far too young entered the battlefield, regarding making a choice to fight.

Back to Ivan and his crew, while prepared to had some meal from the break regarding another maintenance and adjustments.

"Oh yeah, can't have too much work without another empty stomach for went on maintenance for Barbatos, Bael, and Gusion." Ivan concludes in statement.

"What about Isaac's, Garet's, and Lincoln's?" The brown-redheaded concluded that gotten the Heliopolis crew attention and sudden curiously (sans Kuzzey), since they were wondering about those three trailer trucks covered with tarps.

Since Lincoln and Garet were on this cafeteria, for having lunch, so far that knowing they are back-up or guardsman.

"Still the same since we left Heliopolis…still under standby, but still untouched when Garcia trying to get his hands on." The young blonde replied, concluding.

"Well, that's a relief, so far that knowing Isaac wanted Lupus, while the rest is still under more adjustments and maintenance." Jenna says feeling relief and wondered about most of the other machines were still under progress.

"Mr. Menma had left, taken Ichika for the package, I think that they had finally finish 'it'." Ivan informed.

"Really! That's good news! Not to mention…Jing." Jenna says with a last sentenced of mentioned and hesitate her sentenced, which she can't hold back.

Ivan along with the engineering/mechanic workers flinched mentions the name of one of the members of Tekkadan.

"…Yeah, can't blame him for what 'they' did to him." One of the child mechanics stated joined this conversation with a bit of gossip, he also among the group heard about his background story.

"True." Another male child mechanic agrees.

"Yeah, it's true, guys!" Lincoln called out that gotten Ivan and the other mechanic/engineering crew turns to him.

"Oh! What's up Lincoln? I didn't know you were having lunch with Garet." Ivan says expecting, before noticing Garet's presence.

"Yeah, that's right Ivan, we almost done and ready for another simulation, so far regarding besides Jing's mobile suit skills are equally to Linc and Isaac, due to the fact when he was from that 'program'." Garet said confirmed.

"True, true." Lincoln agrees. "And that includes Ichika."

Jing is also a member of FOX, both the gunmanship and swordsmanship is unique since he is pretty good with an iaijutsu and good with duel-wielding arsenals, includes any variety of weapons, he can handle any of them with such weights itself, like he wields 2 assault rifle in each hand.

(AN: Think of Jing, just like BJ Blazkowicz in Wolfenstein, combine with Arnold Schwarzenegger, he did wield an assault rifle with one handed.)

"Glad I found and have him under my wing, he sees him not just a teacher, but a father as well." Naruto spoke up, concluding, that made Ivan and the engineers startled to see their leader, as the latter gave him a salute.

"At ease…" Naruto spoke up to dismiss the engineering crew while he was eating, as they ease their salute.

"M-Mr. Naruto, I-I d-didn't know you were here!" Ivan says with a slight surprised seeing their leader.

"Includes Garet and Lincoln, along with Lily, I've heard everything about Jing. So no worries, knowing his deep hatred towards Blue Cosmos regarding what he did, and include being a homeless orphan." Naruto stated, he reminded Jing of himself when he was orphan.

Kira, Flay, Miriallia, Kuzzey and Lacus were surprised for expecting Naruto adopts an orphan who had deep hatred towards Blue Cosmos. Wondering who's this 'Jing' person which that they were talking about; most of members of Tekkadan were having talk about that subject that being brought up.

"We didn't bring 'him' with us, since he's part of the search team after Heliopolis, so he will join us, later on. So far, he didn't like the way Le Creuset's actions for the destruction of Heliopolis." Naruto concluded.

So far since then he knew Jing's quest of vengeance towards the anti-Coordinator Group that had help cause that blood bath and includes any individuals within ZAFT ranks attempt to destroy anything its path such as Heliopolis' destruction, surely that he'll hate Rau for this whatsoever.

He did gave him a wise words towards Jing to keep his anger in-check, but only he'll unleashed to butchered the key leaders such as Muruta Azrael and their followers, he find and slaughtered anyone in recruitment centers to attempt to joined its ranks in bold blood, brutally, not a single one of them was left alive.

"Yeah, not to mention he is a better brother than anyone else such as Lincoln and the rest." Ivan stated. He remembered whenever Jing heard 'For the preservation of our blue and pure world' quote, he had brutally murdered the Blue Cosmos cell that was responsible for its destruction of Junius Seven, that fuels his rage towards the terrorist group.

"A fair warning that to all would do very well to heed: Never openly voice any of the anti-Coordinator options around Jing once you all met him in person, he gets rather…" Naruto trailed off trying to find the right words, he knew Jing's anti-Blue Cosmos rebellious. "…agitate, when he finds out about someone, anyone really who shares or supports the Blue Cosmos way of thinking."

Naruto warned before Kira went to ask some questions while joining this conversation.

"So…is Jing really hates the Blue Cosmos?" He asked referring what the members of Tekkadan.

"Yes, Kira, he 'is'…but, his background history itself is on him, so it is best to ask him when the time will come, if he would join us, after all." Naruto replied, remembered when he was 13 that when the blonde ancient ninja found him.

"Hey Naruto, may I ask you something…What's that? There's something on his back?" Miriallia asked, pointed at one of the Tekkadan mechanics, without his jacket on, noticing one of the mechanics under Cid and Ivan, and had exposed something that this secret needed to be kept, seeing before them was a spinal-like structure with a silver-tip.

"It's not like a spine didn't grow itself, so what's that on his back that stick on it?" Mir concluded.

Seeing this that made Naruto tensed at the sight of something on one of the engineer's back, so far that one of his crew have really to get himself expose of the open area.

'Damn…he suddenly exposes his 'whiskers' to the eyes of everyone unable to realize that without his jacket on.' Naruto says in thoughts, sighs to curse at himself regarding, as he sighs which there no need to hide of possible is if he needed to get anyone suspicious.

As Naruto survey the area if a single refugee on their presence, so far, they were in the crew's quarters.

'Good, no one is around but us.' He added relieved.

Along with Lincoln and Garet were went slight anxious regarding this secret that needed to be kept since one of them had expose himself, without his jacket.

"Can you keep it a secret?" Naruto convinced everyone.

"Why, Naruto?" Miriallia wondering, about why Naruto wanted to tell to keep secrets, as seeing Barbatos pilot turns to one of engineering/mechanics/technician crew.

"Oi, Ruck! Your whiskers exposed!" Naruto called out.

That made one of the mechanics named Ruck startle jumped by his boss' called, until before another one noticed it as well.

"Wha…!"

"Dude! He's right; you didn't wear your jacket before coming here! Remember? We're not even in Isaribi, dumb-!"

"Junge! What's your language, my sister on this cafeteria!?" Lincoln interrupts, before he heard to finished the another young engineer named Junge.

That made Junge slapped his mouth with his both hands, and eyes onto Lily who is took a picture by drawing Lacus' Haro, before seeing the Lieutenant.

"Oops…!" Junge muffled while his hands still covered his mouth, didn't want to slip out to say it, if Lily caught it with her earshot if he say that out loud, clearly.

"Oh…I forgot." Ruck says embarrassed, realized regarding he haven't wore his jacket like the others, includes he had his 'whiskers' on his back, he had forgotten that he's in the Archangel.

"Has anyone else seen Ruck's back, Ivan?" Garet asks the blonde mechanic before approached him.

"No, Garet, we were ganged up, until seeing people were walked passed us, I didn't pay attention on Ruck without his jacket on." Ivan says he was careless about Ruck's sudden exposed.

"Glad we're almost had 'cats out of the bag', that's for sure." Garet sighs looked a bit nervous and disappointed.

"Wait…Did you guys were hiding something…?" Miriallia questioned with a frown.

"Yeah, guess that we'll tell you about our whiskers." Lincoln concluded while the engineering crew knew what they had.

"Whiskers…?" Flay inquired, while Lily was distracted by making a perfect picture of Haro while hers would be a lavender-colored.

Naruto turned to Lincoln, give him a nod to signals the albino boy to know what to do; and then turned to Ivan and Garet, seeing this that made them nod and step outside of the cafeteria for a lookout, that would mean that he made a sign for guard the cafeteria entrance.

That signals Lincoln stood up onto his seat after that, as he removed his jacket, and turned that made Flay and Kuzzey gasped along with Mirialla's eyes widen, includes Lacus. While Lily looked up to see on her brother's back, before turned to the others, which made her silent which indicate that knowing what this young white-haired boy has…

On Lincoln's back, he had three protrusions on his back, that surprises the girls, didn't expecting a boy at this age of 15 had muscles in his young age, and noticed that these 3 spine-like structures on his back, each of them had silver-tips, unlike to Ruck that he had 1.

"W…What are those? Are those were supposed to be 'whiskers'?" Miriallia says in disbelief towards Lincoln's so-called whiskers, it's not like some rats or cats had whiskers, or perhaps.

While Kira couldn't believe what Lincoln had something on his back that had three of them?

"Naruto…exactly what are those on Lincoln's back?" The brown-haired Coordinator asked about when did Lincoln had those on his back.

"It's called the 'Alaya-Vijnana System'." Naruto answered.

"Alaya what?" Kuzzey asked confused about this system called, while Kira, Flay, Lacus and Miriallia was curious about the Alaya-Vijnana System.

Naruto glanced at Lincoln's 'whiskers', and explained to them.

"It is an organic device system that is implanted into the human body…"

That made the Heliopolis crew adding Lacus gasped, while Lily remain silent about she heard from Naruto's explanation about Alaya-Vijnana System.

"…Menma had developed it for himself, since he is the Tekkadan's Head Medic, he spend years to complete the system via nanomachines implants. If I gave you details about the system implanted onto it. So the nickname of this system called 'whiskers'." He concluded.

"So, what has to do with Lincoln have those…whiskers?" Miriallia questioned.

"Big brother had them since he was 11…" Lily spoke up joined this conversation that causes the Heliopolis crew, along with Lacus turned to her, before she continued. "While the others were…it was horrible since my brother had told me to not to see it."

"What is it, sweetie? What makes your brother didn't want to see it?" Lacus inquired.

"Because I saw the others were on bedridden…well, thankfully for Linky was okay…" Lily answered.

"So, what causes them to be bedridden about what Lily says is true?" Kira questioned, wanted to know about the Alaya-Vijnana System.

"…"

Naruto remain silent, which he didn't want to tell them about the Alaya-Vijnana System, so far regarding he and Menma along with Gaara looked over the results, glad with their godhood itself did restored them. (2)

"…That's because…Me and Menma did make terrible things to the recruits of Tekkadan." He replied declaration to an answer to that question that needed to be known to others.

That made the Heliopolis crew sans Lacus gasped at Naruto's answer, seeing his face didn't shown lying, but extremely serious.

"Did you…what happen to…?" Miriallia spoke up, before rose her anger towards Naruto for he and his brother did something terrible. "Don't tell me…you didn't…"

"Don't worry, we managed to stabilize and restored them, during the surgery." Naruto interjects assuring to the others. While Lily didn't want to spoil it, fully, just small details, so far this secret itself needed to be remaining silent if her brother can; includes Naruto and his brothers.

"Stabilized? Restored? How exactly do for what Lily said is true about they were bedridden? What kind of 'surgery' is referring to, that made them bedridden?" Miriallia demanded.

Naruto still remain silent unanswered Miriallia's questions, as Kira stepped in.

"Naruto, exactly what did you and your brother just done with what this Alaya-Vijnana System to them? Just like Lincoln had those 'whiskers'." The Coordinator questioned.

Before if Naruto will remain silent, before spoken up after seconds later, which no other choice to explain.

"…Alright, as I said before about the Alaya-Vijnana is an organic man-machine interface system implanted into a human body such as Lincoln over there…" He began, with the last part gestured at Lincoln's whiskers.

"It gains the individual as a way to maximize the abilities by granting acute spacial awareness."

"It does?" Kuzzey says with curiosity.

"It really does, the system itself consists of two parts: a connection port installed in the mobile weapon and with the special nanomachines implanted the pilot's spine at a young age to let implant their nervous system as they grow older, acquire interface of the Alaya-Vijnana."

Naruto continues to explain about the Alaya-Vijnana System, until Lily covered her ears for she didn't want to hear more according to her brother of what she was being told about how dangerous the procedure is.

"With those nanomachines, it creates a pseudo-brain lobe that governs spatial awareness. Through that, it connects to an external device, making a system where the brain can directly process Mobile Weapon data. It means allow the individual's brain to directly process data fed through the physical connection."

It was surprisingly about what those special nanomachines that implanted on a human body gain spatial awareness, unlikely to Mu can controlled his Gunbarrels with his own abilities with his Moebius Zero.

"So…it did create a pseudo-brain lobe onto Lincoln's back and so the others." Kira inquired.

"There are few onboard while the rest didn't decide to have those implants, if they had to." Naruto stated, as he stood up and went to Lily, gave her a pat on her head that made her look up to him while her hands still covered her ears. "As for Lily, she's not one of them since we don't want to make her to have those implants just like the rest."

"I was one of them, I'd taken one time, since I taken two more times." Lincoln concluded.

"Three times!?" Mir, Flay, and Kira exclaims at the same time in shocked about Lincoln taken three times, while Lacus was shocked about why this white-haired young man taken 3 times in this current age.

"Why did you take three times?" Kuzzey asks confused about this sudden procedure of AV.

(AN: Shorten for Alaya-Vijnana as 'AV'.)

"In order to increase the interface's effectiveness, it's even far greater to have multiple times to increased its interface, since most of them taken 1, which it is far greater than just one." Naruto answered.

"I had two of them." Garet's voice called out from outside the entrance, concludes, that made the others looked to him. "I'm serious; I've taken two times on the Alaya-Vijnana implant surgery. Glad Menma-sensei and Naruto-sensei did able to stabilize them and recovered from their full health because of Menma-sensei's another special nanomachines that could heal their spines."

"Heal their spines…? What do you mean heal their spines? What is all about?" Kira says wondered.

"…I think it is best not to talk about it, I will tell you more about it later." Naruto stated without gave them a stern look, which assured he and Menma were not Blue Cosmos members, includes not mad scientist. "Since the more implants a person has, the higher their information transfer rate through the system. The system also allows the person to operate the mobile weapon for combat without requiring instructions or reading a manual of any sort."

"Whoa! You mean the pilot can without an instructions and manual!" Kuzzey says surprised and remarkable about the system.

"Are you serious?! The system given a person can operate such as mobile suits?" Mir concluded.

"Ah (Yeah)…that's what it works, it can also operating a battleship as well that able to evade enemy fire that easily with this system. The system must be easier to operate intuitively than a Mobile Woekr we had." Naruto confirmed.

It was completely astonishing for the Heliopolis crew consists of Kira, Flay, Miriallia and, Kuzzey; regarding this system itself is completely new to Earth Sphere in Cosmic Era, while Lacus were also surprised for this kind of technology compare to brilliant minds on both sides: ZAFT and EA.

To think this system able to gain a pilot a spatial awareness and includes information transfer rate, and includes gains knowledge to able to operative a mobile weapon such as MS and MA without instructions and manual.

"Um, Naruto…If I use that so-called Alaya-Vijnana System, will I be able to control that as I want?" Kuzzey inquired, making Naruto's eyes on him what he'll attempt. "I mean, if anyone else such as Tolle and me can help at least be some help to everyone, even Kira."

"Don't do it…" Naruto interjected, that causes everyone startled had eyes on him. "Most of them such as Lincoln and Garet were lucky."

While everyone wanted heard more from Naruto why rejecting Kuzzey for having that system implanted. Wondering what he meant Lincoln, Garet, and the others were lucky, which what he meant by that, actually.

"50 of them: more or less, including Isaac, Garet, Ichika, Lincoln, and Jing, had the surgery at the same time. There is a heavy price if everything goes wrong during the procedure…" Naruto continues.

"What kind of heavy price?" Lacus asked, first time spoke up questioned since she overheard Naruto's explanation about the Alaya-Vijana System.

"…I'm sorry, Lacus. As I said before, I'll tell you more about it, later." Naruto replied, as he turns to the others. "…To all of you. I will tell you more details about the Alaya-Vijnana System, later, it is best to keep it a secret…and that includes you, Kuzzey!"

With the last sentence, gave Naruto a glare that made him flinched at those eyes.

"If you ever spill those secrets about this information, you caught enough problems for one day. Let's not forget that when Gaara told me from Mir about you told Flay about Kira is a Coordinator, and same goes with Flay when she spills it out to the military such as Garcia." Naruto concludes that made Flay flinched regarding she had forgotten the mess she had made.

"I'm glad that Garcia is on the holding cell, since Captain Ramius and her officers were not too happy about his actions, he would become a war criminal for commit crimes. So, as for you, Kuzzey Buskirk, you're planning to betray others to save your skin…?"

Kuzzey was too terrified at Naruto had claimed is true if he'll spilling secrets to save himself, so far that just as much as being a coward other than supporting his friends.

"I'm not kidding, so you better keep your mouth shut, if you better be careful of what you had to say." Naruto concluded with a slight threaten.

Since then that Kuzzey reminded of a friend of the late Rock Lee during the 'Curry of Life' fiasco, Karashi; and with his mother Sansh ō, he did made a cowardly act for claimed the blame to himself and his team under Late Neji Hyuga's command, were responsible for Ranmaru's state that angers Raiga Kurosuki, a former member of 7 Swordsman of the Mist.

With that Kuzzey lowered his head in shame, knowing it's true about spilling secrets, as Kira stepped in.

"Naruto, I know Kuzzey is my friend, but he would never betray our friendship. I know that he did made slight mistake since Heliopolis." The Coordinator stated.

"…" Naruto silently looks at Kira, so which Kuzzey did make a slight mistake about telling others claimed who and what person is.

"…Very well…" The blonde spoke up, obliged Kira's convincing. "But…! Kuzzey is yours and your friends' responsibility, just be sure that not gonna happen, okay?"

"I understand…" Kira reply approval.

"Good…Now, as much I will talk to you later since back at remains of Junius 7 about your stunt you had pulled." Naruto concludes which made Kira silent since he did recalled back at Junius 7 before being dragged back at the Archangel, before meeting Lacus Clyne.

Lacus had overheard this regarding Naruto's disappointment towards Kira's action since then back at Junius 7, she was still in the lifepod when Silverwind was wrecked.

And with that is settled, as he returned to his seat and continues eating, before turned to the entrance where Ivan and Garet.

"All right, boys, we're done!" Naruto called out informed.

As Garet and Ivan returned the cafeteria, as Junge spoke up.

"I'll go to the Archangel's hanger to get Ruck's jacket!"

With Junge had runs off towards the hanger to retrieve Ruck's jacket since he left it there, which he shown the AV protrusion on his back, knowing anyone will caught his attention.

"Ruck, you better keep your back remains hidden, all right? Next time, be sure don't lose your jacket if I say so to our crew, understood? And that includes double checked if you weren't wore your jacket." Naruto instructed.

"*Sigh*…Yes sir." Ruck sighs responding.

"Good, now let's sit back and enjoy some meal, I think that we wasted time for have your stomachs." Naruto announced.

And so, as everyone having some meals, before Jenna prep for them, since the Archangel's Cook was grateful for Jenna taken over while taken a break, since she and the Cook share recipe for cooking tons of balance meals along with proteins and nutritious to keep them in shape for calories.

Now, everything is settled since their discussion about the Alaya-Vijnana was slipped by one of the Tekkadan crew. Even Naruto cannot tell the full details, since there is new ways to gain implant AV System in a successful rate at 100%.

So far, until conversation broke out, as one of members of Tekkadan began to discuss some other topics.

"Hey, I got a video letter from my sister; she's a good girl in school." One of the engineer crew spoke up.

"Really, I'm sure that she's safe and sound at the Sanctuary that you guys were saved by the Boss, himself." He says, looked surprised; as he glances at Naruto who still eating, along with Lacus sat beside him, feeling admires the blonde leader for saving other orphans along with his brothers includes Gaara. "Along with his brothers when I met them, and before meeting you when I was with big brother Menma's group."

"You're right, not to mention when we have implanted with nanomachines and includes the Alaya-Vijnana System just for me. Well, this is my choice, after all. Since the productions for us takes time, but just only used for security or workers needed to defend ourselves." He said glance at his back, where the 'whiskers' was, by turned his head over to his shoulder.

"Well, it's not like that when I was afraid of shots, I mean, I don't have you, most of us did learned how to fire a gun while Desmond didn't." Another stated, refers to one of Tekkadan's medics.

"Yeah, he is our Medic and Chaplain, glad that we know who his ancestor is since 19th-20th Century." The First replied, respecting Desmond's choice.

"That's true, the First Desmond Doss - the WW2 unarmed Combat Medic, thanks to the 10 Commandants he had read. Besides, unlike us since he was being mistreated him since joining the Military, and while we didn't threat him." The second said.

"Not to mention, he refuse to had implanted Whiskers on his back, that 'is' his choice. So we'll respected it." The first stated.

"Can't blame him, glad we had Chaplains under our ranks, so far most of the others who believe in bible to have god with us. So far, he did pilot a mobile suit just fine as a Natural." The second quipped. "Not to mention most of them didn't want to gain implants, after all, so most of them taken basic lessons to pilot a mobile suit."

"That's true, that's why Sanctuary is best for your sister." He agrees.

Hearing those topics that gotten curious from what is this 'Sanctuary' since before Lacus' appearance.

"Um, Naruto? What exactly I had to ask for any of us want to know where the Sanctuary is." Kuzzey asks, wanted to know more about that what those guys.

The spoon full of food stop in mid-section towards Naruto's mouth, heard Kuzzey's sudden question, as he lower it to the tray and…

And suddenly, the others, includes Kira, Flay, and Lacus, felt the temperature of this cafeteria dropped several degrees in an instant, until they saw a dark miasma aura started surrounds Naruto, visible in their eyes, while he still had a smile on Naruto's face.

While Lincoln, Lily, Garet, and Ivan were tensed regarding what his father/brother-figure and friend, which that includes their leader, will do if he'll use 'that' visage.

'Oh hell no…! Don't tell me…' Garet and Ivan say in thoughts in synch, while Lincoln sighs at this scene.

"You shouldn't open your mouth again, don't you, Kuzzey." The white-haired muttered.

And while Menma and Gaara tensed regarding what his brother/friend will do if he'll use 'that' visage.

While the rest of the engineer side of Tekkadan crew had known about Naruto's inner visage, they also felt terrified at this, most of them includes Cid knew about this, before made them tensed.

'Oh please god! Anything but 'that'! ANYTHING BUT 'THAT'!' Every members of Tekkadan had known their 'big boss' of Tekkadan's visage.

"Like I said to Mu earlier at the hanger…I can't tell you~!" Naruto repeated, and until expecting to see that caught by the eyes of everyone surrounds them regarding his own smile.

Until a dark miasma completely engulfs him, then something appeared besides Naruto's face, a giant creep black demonic mask (a hannya) with glowing eyes staring at him, which causes Kuzzey's spine, shivered in terrifying, slowly steps away from him, along with Kira and the rest of the Heliopolis crew, along with Lacus, while Lily hid behind her big brother, and includes Haro hops on the table flapping its 'ears'. (3)

"Scary! Scary! Scary!" The pink ball chirped reacts at Naruto's scary hannya mask.

"Oh my!" Lacus startled by Naruto's sudden dark visage, so far, she was shocked in surprised expecting that.

While Flay rushed to take cover behind Kira, while the latter was expecting to see Naruto doing something terrified with that smile of his; along with Mir, who is also joined the redhead for the horrified mask that appeared out of nowhere on their presence.

"You'll get use to it, Ms. Lacus. It happens whenever he gives recruits some discipline and includes doing anything stupid with that visage he was using." Lincoln says to pink-haired songstress with half-lidded eyes.

Lacus just blink as she looked at Lincoln, expecting that accordingly from Naruto about perform a visage.

"Damn it! We knew Naruto's demonic aura would come out!" Garet says, as he and Ivan were somehow managing to teleport out of the entrance lend against on each corners.

"Yeah, so much for that, I mean, except for Lily and Ms. Lacus over there wasn't, and even Lincoln as well." Ivan concluded.

Which Lacus and Lily weren't faze and didn't flinched at when they were right besides the creepy hannya mask, so far since its unharmed innocents such as Lily, since she is close to Naruto as a big brother and father-figure, same goes with Lincoln, just as he transpired.

"While myself and Lily, includes Ms. Lacus wasn't effect by it, he can able to take instinctive control over targeting." Lincoln summarized; includes had special bond between the albino and whiskered blonde. "Damn, still had that mask after all. I mean, glad that I was unaffected because of how close I am considered Naruto as a brother."

While Kuzzey still terrified at the mask that came out of nowhere right besides Naruto while still had that smile.

"If you keep asking more questions with curiosity about know the whereabouts of the Sanctuary, I will not let anyone or anybody to learn about that place, so please drop it. I don't want you to talk about this to anyone." Naruto concludes, as the glowing red eyes close to Kuzzey, while the creepy mask is still stares at him. "Just don't say anything else, I don't want the Earth Sphere know about the existence of Sanctuary. So, did you understand what I'm saying?"

A little scared as the hannya mask seemed to get close to him. That made Kuzzey quickly nodded his head understand regarding how scary as the mask seemed keeps staring pierced his own soul.

"Good." Naruto reply, before dismissing the aura and the mask; as he turns to the others, and while still had a smile on his face. "Now then, so let's continue our meal."

As the others were having time enjoy their meals and includes making some conversation, without hesitation, while most crew on the Archangel went to the cafeteria for some meals, some of them went to get some water and small snacks.

Let's not forget that regarding Naruto's visage, so far Tekkadan was well-aware about his demonic-side behind his smile, so it is to any of the Tekkadan crew to informed the others about this, minus the Archangel counterpart, while Kira, Flay, Lacus, Mir, and Kuzzey were the only people who witnessed his Hannya mask illusion.

And even that includes, Kira and the rest of the Heliopolis Crew wasn't sure and wondered what the Alaya-Vijnana System works that results according to Lily Loud claimed they were bedridden?

==With Menma==

Gundam Bael flew in space, heading towards to its destination, while Ichika was onboard his personal Mobile Worker which it was lashed on with cable wire hook connects to Bael's back. Within the red-winged MS, Menma had eyes onto the main monitor, and until…

*Beep-Beep!*

"Hmm?" Menma startled by a sensor picked up incoming object towards to their position, making him smiled, as he informed Ichika. "Ichika, the package is here!"

["Yeah, well, it seems Dan is here!"] Ichika responded, sounded too happy to see the 'Delivery Boy' is here.

"Ichika, prepared to your unit. Once embark, we'll meet up with the Archangel." Menma declared.

(AN: Ichika's Mobile Suit will make its appearance.)

["And I take it that we'll be using the Booster to get there faster."] Ichika concluded.

"Exactly!" Menma confirmed.

==Back to the Archangel, Hanger==

With Mu La Flaga was smiled, had eyes onto his Zero's Gunbarrels were prepared to had fitted with beam weaponry, with the engineers on the Archangel were doing it around the clock getting it done, thanks to Cid Highwind provide some blueprints how to stabilize the beam weaponry into the Gunbarrel can fired well.

Includes the new ammunition for the Zero's Linear Cannon, started load the 'Special Ammunition' just as Naruto was explained to Capt. Murrue and himself during the tour around the Isaribi, it surely completely useful and remarks for the munitions had manufactured by none other than Teiwaz in secret.

That 'Special Ammunition similar to APSV, but includes just like the real-life Incendiary Rounds for small arms that burned through light-armor, except for cannon shells that could penetrate heavy armor, and even the D-Type Equipment as well.

(AN: Forgot that regarding since Chapter 10. Naruto explained to Murrue and Mu about the PE Ammunition.)

Mu looked eager to face the stolen G-Weapons under ZAFT's hands, once the Zero's modification is complete. So far, facing new foes will be a easy task for having this new weapons, so far, the orange GINN (Miguel Custom) 'maybe' a modified MS, but for himself had a modified MA.

So, which means the tables itself will be turning…

==Archangel, Naruto & Lacus' quarters==

After having their meals at the cafeteria, Lacus meeting new people, includes Lily was a fan of the pink-haired songstress, if she really becomes, regarding her singing career, Lily's brother Lincoln had seen her concerts in PLANTs channel, she had many hits includes fan all over the homeland of the Coordinators.

While walking back to their quarters, Lacus was staring at Naruto's back, thinking about earlier since she overheard Naruto's discussion with Flay, before meeting the redhead and Athrun's friend Kira, since she and her escort Kira decide to overheard this shocking discovery regarding this conversation.

_"Flay, I know you're still had fears and deep hatred towards Coordinators…Except for the people who gave the right to judge. Coordinators are still human like you, me, and/or the rest of the crew. I don't care if any of them are Coordinators or not, just like Lacus and Kira. What matters is what lies beneath that person." – Naruto's voice in Lacus, to Flay about Coordinators.

Lacus wondered what he meant 'what lies beneath that person?' accordingly to Naruto.

_"Also, just don't judge people when you don't even know them. I hate people whose looked down on others just because they are born different." – Naruto's voice concluded.

Naruto don't hate and judge Coordinators that considered 'freaks' or 'space monsters'. Expecting for the blonde for stood up to them, Lacus never meet someone who treated and sees Coordinators were also being a human being.

"What? Whatever! Let's play! Let's play! I won't accept that! I won't accept that!" Pink Haro chirped. "Thank you! Thank you!"

"Here you go, Lacus. Decide to bring an extra meal covered with plastic if you need breakfast. That came from the Archangel." Naruto says places the food tray that meant for Lacus, which this tray belong to the Archangel, instead.

"Damn it!" Mr. Pink chirped.

While Naruto ignored Mr. Pink's chirping, as he sat on of the chairs, next to the tray for Lacus. Closing his eyes, then taking a deep breath and lets out an exhaling sighs, clearly relief on everything is settled since Flay had changed her new leaf.

Lacus still glanced at the blonde, as she spoken out to called for his attention and she said.

"Naruto?" Lacus inquired the blonde, that made him opened his eyes and gazes at her, looking at him.

"What is it, Lacus?" He responded.

"Thank you, Naruto. For retrieving the lifepod I was in. I didn't properly thank you for it for the second time." Lacus says with a smile, feeling grateful towards him for his own good deed.

Naruto smiling at her in returned, and reply appreciated.

"There's no need to thank me, Lacus. It was the right thing to do." He said appreciation.

"Good afternoon!" Haro chirped.

Hearing that, Naruto just smiled at her while rubbing the back of his head, sheepish.

"And Naruto, thank you for what you said earlier when I'd overheard when you talk with Ms. Flay, Kira was there too, when he was curious about what was about." Lacus concludes, before looking down at the floor, again. Could believe since she and Kira were curiously about the discussion, so they hid it and wanted to eavesdrop their conversation until it was shocking of what they had heard.

Seeing this, Naruto got up from the chair and walked towards Lacus, before poking again on the forehead with two-fingers of his, before he said with a smile.

"You're always welcome, Lacus. It was nothing, ya'know. With Flay had finally become a new leaf once she'll interact with Coordinators until her prejudice and fear with your kind will purge." Naruto replied.

Feeing the poke on her forehead, Lacus looked up to the blonde and smiled.

==Archangel, At the Bridge==

The bridge went smoothly since they left the remains of Junius 7, glad that they left with the supplies and water they salvaged, which that includes fishes in additional meals, which it is still fresh and new since this tragedy, it didn't spoil since last year.

Petty Officer Romero Pal was busy working on the console with his shift, while drinking a liquid supplement, while looked at the communications monitor; when a file appeared on a screen that it says 'UNKNOWNS CALL REQUEST', all of sudden.

Seeing this, he slight toss the bottle lets zero gravity drifts it away, and quickly went to work on deciphering the message.

"Captain!" He called out, alerting the woman as she swiveled her chair around to properly addressed him.

"What is it?" Murrue questioned.

==Archangel, Corridors==

Miriallia exiting the cafeteria, and while Tolle noticing to see her girlfriend out while walking through the corridor making his way to get something to eat, noticing her expression, she can tell that she was feeling relief, before run towards her, that caught her attention.

"Something happen while I was on the bridge?" Tolle asked.

"Nothing is wrong, Tolle. Everything is settled since Flay had changed." Miriallia replied with a smile.

"Really!" The brunette says happily feeling glad for Flay's sudden change. It is relief for the redhead for making a sudden change.

"It's true, I think Junius Seven must've hit her hard that results her sudden change." The light-brunette confirmed, and then her expression changed into a frown before continued. "Although…"

"What?" Tolle wondered noticed his girlfriend's sudden expression changed.

Miriallia turned her head to the right at the corridor to see if anyone walked by, then grabbed her boyfriend's arm and before drag him somewhere else to talk private.

"Let's talk somewhere private, there is something I need to tell what Tekkadan keeping secrets from us. But the best to not tell anyone about this, only Naruto and his brothers will."

With that, Mir/Milly dragged Tolle away from the corridor.

== Archangel, Cafeteria==

Flay was sitting on the chair, had her deep thoughts, after this room was cleared out while Ivan, Garet, Kuzzey, and the rest of the engineering crew returned to the hanger, while Jenna taken care of Lily while her brother Lincoln continue his duty, includes going to the hanger for sudden maintenance.

While Lily Loud sitting one of the table along with Jenna Brennan, drawing pictures in crayon, she is under babysitting by red-brunette; since the young blonde Loud drawing Haros and mobile suits. So far, while Flay couldn't help to see Lily drawn since she caught Mr. Pink's drawing, since after Lacus' Haro turned to the owner, since after she left with Naruto under his company returning to their quarters.

"…I would like to apology for slapping you earlier." Jenna spoke up, took a sip with her coffee, since she had done her job cooking meals for the crew and refugees.

That startles Flay caused by the red-brunette's called out, as she turned to her.

"What do you mean…?" The redhead inquired.

"Back at Artemis, remember?" Jenna concluded.

"Oh…" Flay says realized what the brunette-redhead meant.

"…So, feel free to talk to me while you had spare time." Jenna suggested.

"…Sure, I could use a company." Flay obliged.

And so, as Jenna and Flay began to have some discussion each other while taken care of Lily along the way…

==Archangel, with Tolle and Mirialla==

On the empty corridor on different location, seeing the two volunteers were on the side of the wall, Tolle had listen every detail from Miriallia regarding the discussion and includes a single subject that being mentioned.

"Wait, Alaya-Vijnana System?" Tolle inquired, he looked curious about this system, his girlfriend gave a described about having protrusions on the human body's spine.

Miriallia nod at her head confirmed, as she continue to explain.

"Yes, it is their secret, I heard Lily said about most of the others on Tekkadan claimed they were bedridden? I was wondering what have caused them." Miriallia replied, still wondered why would Naruto convinced them not to tell anyone about the system they possessed.

"You said this system will allow to transfer to the person and able to operate a mobile weapon? As in it can pilot a mobile suit without a manual or instructions with no problem." Tolle concluded with disbelief of what he had heard from Mir.

"Yes, Tolle, it's true. The system can, accordingly, there are 50 of them, more or less, but Naruto said that there is a heavy price." She said to Tolle.

"What sort of heavy price?" He asked.

"I'm not sure, he didn't want to answer the full details, but the best is that he'll tell us later." She replied.

"I guess that we'll give him time when he's ready." Tolle quipped.

"Yes, that includes his brothers and Tekkadan crew." Mir added.

==Archangel, Back to the Bridge==

Romero shown the console/radar to the Captain, as she glanced at it for a brief second, since the former able to decipher to get in contact with whoever was trying to contact them?

And then, the eyes of Murrue Ramius were widening a brief fraction.

"Are you sure?" She queried.

"There's no mistaking it!" Romero assured the captain. "This is a code pulse from the Earth Forces' 8th Fleet!"

With Romero's confirmation, as Natarle drifted up from the CIC to joined them.

"Can you decode it?" She asked in a hopeful tone that sounds surprised for this news.

"I'm doing it!" The ensign responded as he attempts to decrypt the message.

After about 10 to 15 seconds. It started out as being only audible static as Pal tried various methods to decrypt it, which causes the static to become disjointed.

"I'm analyzing it!" He concludes, informed.

Once Romero was doing so for decipher it, and until they heard a deep male voice coming through communications.

["This is…8th Fleet Advanced…Montgomery, Arch…angel, reply."] An extremely garbled voice called through the communicator. The gabled voice, however, filled the surrounding people with a sense of hope.

"They're under Admiral Halberton's command!" Murure informed the surrounding people with a relieved tone, surprised to hear when she realizes who they are.

The bridge crew lets out a varying sounds indicating delight with even Natarle managing a slightly relieved smile at the news.

"Are they looking for us?" Arnold Neumann asked with a hopeful tone, getting out of his seat to come investigate.

"What's their position?" Dalida Chandra asked out loud, coming out of the CIC to join the group along with Jackie.

"Is that Koopman's Unit?" Jackie Tonomura asked as well, concluding.

"Wait a minute!" Pal says informal the others to allow him to get a moment to work for a better clear on the comms' signal. He knew they were happy to get in touch with their friendlies, and 'he' also as well looked delight for EA's Eighth Fleet made contact.

"Great!" Dalida says happily relief at the news.

"Wait a minute; I believe they're still a significant distance from us." Romero explained with a somewhat disappointed tone, while before Neumann and Tonomura gave a high-five while in Zero-G, that pushes the latter away, as Chandra went besides the former and gain a shoulder-to-shoulder with their respective arms around on their opposite sides.

"But if we could join them…" Jackie wondered, before he floats back towards the others.

"Yeah!" Arnold says agreed. "Finally, something we can be relieved about!"

The three bridge crew (Jackie, Arnold, and Dalida) all shared a joyous laugh at their recent good news as Murrue even gave a small smile to herself, believing that things were finally looking up for them.

While the busty brunette captain looked wasn't sure if that was intended to be a compliment, but suddenly she didn't care. At last, for the first time since Heliopolis -Artemis didn't really count, given what had happened there- they'd received word from friendly forces.

Things were beginning to look up at least…

==Archangel, Back to Naruto & Lacus' quarters==

Meanwhile, after sometime while the bridge had receiving contact with the EA friendly 8th Fleet, while Naruto still on a bed reading a book and while Lacus sitting on the chair, while Mr. Pink still chirping, and when suddenly the intercom system went on and spoke up to announced.

["Attention: We're regrouping with the Earth Forces 8th Fleet! I repeat: We're regrouping with the Earth Forces 8th Fleet! All pilots and personnel, please report to your stations, immediately!"]

Hearing that, could heard a faint joyful cries at the distance that indicate that the hope never lost. They were being rescued at last for the Archangel. That cause Naruto closed his book and spoke up.

"Sounds like duty calls…" He spoke up, as he placed the book onto the bed, and stood up, as he turned to the pinkette. "Stay here and rest for a while, Lacus. I'll be back after I'm done."

"Oh, okay. Good luck." Lacus said with a smile.

Naruto smiled and nod at her for accepted her regards, before walking out of their quarters after the sliding door closes behind him, and…

(Cue Lacus' Song – In this Quiet Night)

~"Shizuka na, kono yoru ni… (In this quiet night…)"~

Naruto was a few feet away from the door of their quarters when he heard her singing, as he turned and looked back at the door of their living quarters, he could not help a smile forming from his lips.

~"…Anata wo, matteru no. (…I'm here waiting for you.)"~

At the interior of Naruto & Lacus' quarters, the pink songstress sitting on the chair, holding her Haro flapping its 'ear', until music background can be heard all around her while Lacus' mind can heard her music.

~"Ano toki, wasureta… (Forgetting the past…)"~
~"Honoemi wo… (Your precious smile…)"~
~"…tori ni kite. (…has faded away.)"~

Back at the exterior of their quarters, as Naruto listened the song with Lacus' own voice, the sound hits him with a flashback of about his past: His friends (the Rookie 12) and family (Hinata and his children – Boruto and Himawari), along with others (such as Tazuma and Inari) who made friends with all those decades, includes Team 7 consists of his friend Sasuke and his former love-interests Sakura, and includes Tsunade, then lastly his parents - Minato and Kushina; and godfather Jiraiya.\

Hearing the song; Lacus' voice warms Naruto's heart for wanted to move on since he had felt grief losing more love ones and precious ones since he had spent centuries; until he heard Kurama's voice on his mind.

'I'd got to say, she has an amazing voice.' The fox says compliment towards Lacus' voice.

'Yes she has, buddy. Yes she has…' Naruto reply agreed through the link, after disabled the soundproof barrier for Kurama from the chirping of Lacus' Haro.

'I'll enhance your ears, so you can enjoy listen her song in the distance.' He concluded.

'Thanks, Kurama…' Naruto appreciated.

As before Naruto continued moving forward to proceed and continued walk throughout to the hanger, while whistling the tune that he made was Lacus' song, until heard pinkette continue singing.

~"Are kara… (Since then…)"~
~"…sukoshi dake… (…now that a little…)"~
~"…jikan ga sugite… (…time has passed…)"~

Her song touches Naruto's heart and soul, as she continues singing.

~"…Omoide ga… (…past memories…)"~
~"…yasashiku… (…have some time…)"~
~"…natta ne. (…become more precious.)"~

(Music Background)

==Archangel, Exterior==

~"Hoshi no Furu basho de… (I find myself, where the stars fall…)"~

At Space - The majestic warship, The Archangel; setting course to their destination and while the Isaribi were in tow, since the latter receive message from the former regarding meeting with the Eighth Fleet.

~"Anata ga… (Right here I wish…)"~
~ "…waratte irukoto wo. (…that you will once again be laughing.)"~
~"Itsumo… (Even today…)"~
~"…negatteta. (…even now.)"~

At interior of the Archangel, seeing Desmond Doss gazes at Junius 7 at the window on the stern of the warship, he was praying with his ancestor's bible at fallen PLANT-class colony until it's away in the distance.

~"Ima tookutemo… (Though now we're far apart…)"~

Afterwards, Desmond made a cross gesture by place index and middle finger, followed by the chest, and then left and right shoulder and says while gesturing.

"In the Name of the Father, the son and the holy spirit… Amen." He finished praying, as he closed bible, gently.

~"…Mata aeru yo ne? (We can meet again, right?)"~

(Music Ended)

==Meanwhile at Space==

The armored ship with hammerhead-shaped bow, clad with dark gray - the Hammerhead - setting course to the remains of Junius Seven, while they taken detour towards to now-Tekkadan-controlled Artemis, setting some supplies and includes more cargo vessels were loaded onto the former Eurasian Fortress.

…The Armored Assault Ship, Hammerhead.

And until message received by the 'Delivery Boy', meeting up with Menma and had Ichika prepared to embark his newly mobile suit, and so, the Hammerhead taken side-track towards to the fallen colony, and then meeting up with the Archangel to catch up, along with Red Angel and Jackdaw, and includes Hotarubi.

Hotarubi is considered Gaara Sabaku's flagship, it is appears to be a cargo transporter, since the organization now has many mobile suits, a dedicated hanger was added, enabling it to carry a large number of mobile suits. The color of its armored hull is completely tan.

Both the Hammerhead and Hotarubi considered Great 3 ships under command by the three founders of Tekkadan.

At Hammerhead, within the interior of the hammerhead-shape vessel, and also the bridge, as few crew members who led one of the Great Three under command going through the debris belt accordingly to the message.

"Well, things went troublesome, don't you think, Chaucha?" A man said wearing a white tuxedo suit and white fedora hat, his features consists of a brown hair and eyes.

This man was sitting on a captain's chair, gazes at the remains of the Junius 7.

(AN: Think of it the way Naze and Azee wore it; since this hat is a gangster-style.)

"Yes, Briggs, it sure is. To think when bosses gave you a rank as a Lieutenant Commander, I mean, if instead gave you something else other than similar to Admiral." A woman replied to the man named 'Briggs', for her goes by the name Chaucha, this woman's feature that her hair is reddish-brown and brown eyes.

"Not to mention when we send a message to our bosses about having the 'package' to Ichika." Briggs concluded.

"While the rest of them for Lincoln, Garet, and Isaac are still under maintenance and more adjustments, to think to create a brother-units for the originals such as Barbatos and Gusion." Chaucha concluded.

"While Ichika's MS have the data of Sylvia's Vidar, and even Bael's, which these data will able to gain full capacity for combat." Briggs said within this conversation. "Not to mention…how's Eoleo?"

"He's sleeping in our quarters, while he did enjoy run around the corridors in the Hammerhead." She replied. "Not to mention he wanted to get to see Lily, soon."

With that, Briggs turned the main view of the bridge, which the small fleet of Armored Assault Ships, noticing the debris and remains of what was once the PLANT known as 'Junius Seven'. This greeting that made his eyes widen in horrified sight, along with Chaucha.

As the crew of Briggs were consists of male crew members were witnessed in front of them along with the small fleet. To think Blue Cosmos did something cruel and hatred towards to the Coordinators.

(AN: They are from Golden Sun as well, so think of it as Briggs' pirate crew were unnamed. if anyone else wanted to name them.)

"My god…to think all of this started because of one nuclear missile." Briggs muttered.

"I know, Briggs…All those lives lost…" Chaucha agrees, felt sadden and sympathy towards many souls. "To think Blue Cosmos really hates Coordinators! This is way too far for many souls have lost…I think we've give them some respects."

"That's true, got word from our tops, they already did, includes Desmond, and we'll give them more flowers." Briggs informed, after hearing the upset words from her and even made suggestion.

"I'll set a bouquet and while you informed the ships sets some fireworks." Chaucha suggested.

"Good idea, my beautiful wife! I'll inform the small fleet for the preparation for making flowers." Briggs obliged, since he and Chaucha were husband and wife, raise a son in their lives.

"Also, there's another report that ZAFT is on the area, so best to keep our distance. They didn't know about the message that Archangel had a guest onboard. So it seems that Ms. Lacus Clyne that wasn't in the area anymore before ZAFT realized it by now. She was rescued by our tops and the Earth Alliances' Warship, if they know by now."

Chaudra nod her hand understandable, about ZAFT still searching for the Silverwind and Lacus Clyne, so far that knowing they'll call out the search, once Lacus was found, safe and sound.

With Briggs' wife left the bridge, as the former turned to one of the Armored Assault Ships, which its design is the same as Isaribi; it's armored hull clad with color scheme of red with silver accents.

"I know you have already seen this…I know it will angers you for what the Blue Cosmos did…you better let you know what your sensei's teachings made you to keep your anger in check…So, I was hoping that being the 'Red Hunter Wolf' of Tekkadan will joined Mr. Naruto's group. He did save you from your fate and includes had you under his wing…Jing."

Briggs' eyes onto the red and silver Armored Assault Ship before him…The 'Morrigan'.

==Enter Morrigan==

Among the other armored assault ships, the 'Morrigan' is unique one, since this ship itself is part of the search and rescue team. A certain individual who royal towards a certain blonde immortal, and includes who save his own life that day and includes adopted him.

There is a single pre-teen boy is about age of 13 had stared at the remains of Junius 7 floating around the Debris Belt, he is appeared to be looked Filipino-descent, had black hair and eyes. Also, he had a three protrusions or 'whiskers' on his back.

"…" The 13-year old boy looked remain silent, emotionless while staring at the fallen colony on the window, he tighten his fist while control his anger, had deep hatred towards a certain Anti-Coordinator terrorist group.

And while his face was not revealed that it was covered just only his lower face.

"…Soon, your so-called 'for the preservation of our blue and pure world' will be purged in blank slate…" He says in a dark tone.

And suddenly, he felt his arms around him and until felt a pair of arms around his neck that made him tensed, along with soft mounds pressed against his back, since his whiskers on his back touched his right breast on his left side.

"Hey, are you okay?" A feminine spoke up in Scottish.

The 13-year old boy turns his head over his shoulder to see a beautiful woman, who embraces him from behind.

This woman looked about appears as a beautiful young woman with long sea-green hair and eyes. She's about 172cm tall and she would about 58kg and her three sizes are exactly in measurement of B86 (34") W56 (22") H83 (33").

Her appearance included while hugging this 13-year old male pre-teen appeared to be…'reveal' herself when she having 'time' with him. Her cleavage pressed against his back appeared to be almost reaching to E-cup size.

"I'm doing fine…Morrigan. It's just…"

"It's about your past, Jing?" The green-haired feminine interjects guessing, goes by the name Morrigan, since the ship is named after her and includes the Irish Goddess. "…before meeting Sir Naruto, after escaping your hell?"

Well, her full name is Morrigan Aensland, while comforting to the 13-year pre-teen goes by the name Jing.

"Yes…" Jing confirmed without hesitate and includes never keep secrets to one another. "…I just…"

"Glad I drain several your nightmares if you wanted to keep most of it before purged." Morrigan says assured towards her 'lover', yes, Jing is her lover until age of 13, but age gaps are uncommon.

After all, since then when Jing was on this area after Naruto Uzumaki had taught him everything, about a year ago regarding he hunt down Blue Cosmos Cell, before if he heard the motto of theirs, and so he followed them towards their secret meeting/recruitment building/area.

And until before he meet Morrigan Aensland along the way, he was on Scotland when he gotten word from the spy network. That gotten her attention and looked intriguing towards to the young man; and so, he did meet her at the nearby bar just only drink some glass of water or something is non-alcoholic.

And so, until Jing knew her status about her was since she did disguised herself as either a blonde, or redhead. Jing and Morrigan get to know each other; it felt strange for a young man talking with older women, after all.

Well, until Jing's first encounter with Morrigan, he went to the cemetery when he heard humors about when a suspicious people who came to there since he had a feeling it was involved with Blue Cosmos. Once he arrived, was expecting to see dead corpses of Blue Cosmos cell, their bodies were dried by a single woman with sea green hair wearing something expecting so…revealing. (4)

He called himself as the 'Red Hunter Wolf', after all…

"Yeah, never forget about those faces that torment me, experiment on me, and I rather not to talk about it." The black-haired replied.

"I know how you feel about being treated by 'them', so far Tekkadan had treated you as a friend and family." Morrigan stated.

"Yes…'them'…" Jing said with his anger rose flows in his veins, before ease it as he held his hand onto Morrigan's arms. "I rather not to talk about it what they did to me, so far that they did treated me like a 'tool' for war against Coordinators…"

Morrigan smoothing Jing's back, while rubbing his muscular chest covered with tons of scars and bruises.

"So far their 'tool' had turned defect and against to another, and so far that knowing that they did brought it from themselves when I hunt them down, without any survivors. And I hate it that when they don't care about anyone else such as most of my friends…my brothers and sisters…as soon as I'll avenged them, and includes if I encountered most of them…but no choice that there's no turning back. And I will wipe them all in every…single…one." He concluded.

"I know, Jing…" Morrigan says reassured, as she continues cooingly. "Hmph…I manipulate those fools for information. So far knowing they cannot stop until every single Coordinator is annihilated."

Jing chuckled amusingly at Morrigan's ways to seduce male victims; she did get information from any of them about the recruitment centers and meetings. Includes her statement about if the Blue Cosmos will try everything they could to genocide Coordinators.

"They can try, but knowing that if they needed to find the way to regain their nuclear power that can be restored since ZAFT did deploy those N-Jammers to disallow to use them. And even developed on how or when to developed a device to cancelled its effects?" Jing replied, since Blue Cosmos went upset about without their precious nuclear to attempt genocide of all Coordinators.

"I guess if that if they knew that you been living in the shadows for those years, my sweet wolf. Surely that knowing it is impossible for brightest minds in both sides hasn't been able to create something like that." Morrigan stated.

"Not to mention Tekkadan's tech we possessed, provided by Teiwaz in secret. We also gotten greatest engineers and scientist all over Earth Sphere that gotten all both sides attention by cooperate, abducted, and hired." Jing concluded regarding most best important individuals developed new ways. "So far those bastards will get attention to us once they'll learn after we step out in the darkness. Glad we had spies all around the Earth Sphere to keep in touch, while secretly contact the Boss of Teiwaz time after time."

"And includes the Earth Sphere will learned about we possessed Mobile Suits, we and they can piloted them with or without the OS." The sea green-haired woman added.

"…Yeah…surely that this is Naruto-sensei's called, after all…" Jing replied, before turned to his beautiful sea green succubus. "So anyway, Morrigan-hime…? I still remembered about a year when I meet and fought you with my strength and speed."

"It was wonderful, Jing. It completely satisfies me, when you did beat me…for a human." Morrigan reply she did remembered her first encounter with Jing that night. "You did surprise me when before you shoot your sword out of the sheath with a gun/sheath hybrid weapon."

*Flap!*

Expecting to see Morrigan had a pair of black bat-like wings with purple webbing unfurls out of her lower back, followed by another pair on the sides of her head…well, while she's still in nude after all; and as her wings hugging him to gain more comfortable for Jing.

Unknown to Earth Sphere, they were unaware that there are any supernatural beings were remain hiding for centuries before Cosmic Era Calendar was replaced from the 12 month of a year.

"For a Darkstalker such as yourself… I get a feeling that I was a bit fan with succubus, your own kind, while I was fond with werewolves and/or vampires, or maybe both." Jing replied, which that made Morrigan giggles at him.

"Don't be like that, but a hybrid will be a bigger problem for both sides, unlike that SOB Dimitri attempt took over Mekai, and while Jon as well." She said, she deeply dislikes the powerful vampire since her father exile him.

"I was hoping that I wanted get a chance to meet Jon Talbain." Jing stated smirked. "It sure does, well, if you don't like that 'prideful' vampire, I would becoming Gabriel Belmont or Dracul."

"Talking about Castlevania? I'm sure that if you wanted to become a Dark Lord." Morrigan says comment with a teasing look. She knew her boyfriend is a bit a fan with a game called Castlevania and any other games.

"Maybe, that includes DMC and God of War…So, up to round two?" Jing inquired.

"Oh yeah, my dear, round two." Morrigan replied with a lustful grin.

With that, Jing lift her up in bridal-style thanks to a bit of Zero gravity or perhaps his own strength due to the fact his past was a Enhanced Human, and so he carried her to their bed before toss her before jumped at…

And soon within minutes later, the sounds of moaning and slapping of wet flesh against filled the room, while they were complete enjoy themselves for this ecstasy…and…

"AHHHHHHHHHH~!"

==At Vesalius==

In the meantime; on the other side of space, the Vesalius along with a second Nazca-class named the 'Silver Glint' carrying the Silver and Shadow Knights and includes Chifuyu's personal team, and even another Laurasia-class - the Galvani, are en route to pursue the Legged Ship. (5)

Which the three ZAFT vessels were traveling through space with the task of finding Lacus and returning her home to the PLANTs; since one of the members of Silver Glint is Madoka, she is also a friend to Lacus, and completely cannot be trusted towards a certain blue-haired Coordinator and even the Le Creuset Team, since then he did cause destruction of Heliopolis.

In the Vesalius' bridge, one crewman spots a couple of heat signatures around on his radar that picked up something as they were headed for the Debris Belt.

"Captain Ades! Five signatures are spotted on the radar! All of them appear to be belonging to the Earth Alliance." He reported.

Before the ship's captain can say anything to the officer's claimed, until Rau stops by Ades' chair followed by Alex Seymour, since he contacting his vessel the Bismarck which meeting up with the Gamow.

"What's the matter?" Rau asked Ades, noticing the expression that the ship's captain was giving as a sign that there was something up.

"They're assumed to be naval vessels of the Earth Forces." The Nazca-class vessel's captain answered reporting.

Having never thought they'd detect any enemy ships nearby and started becoming a bit suspicious since none of them were identified as the Archangel or the unaware unidentified vessels that helped it during the battle outside of Artemis.

"What are they doing out here?" He concluded.

"How many, Captain Ades?" Alex inquired.

"Reports that indicate they are five of them, Commander Seymour." Ades answered.

This started to pipe Rau's interest as there would have to be some reason for EA ships to be in an area at a time like this, then went to the holographic table with a map of the area displayed in question and examined it thoroughly.

"If the Legged Ship were planning to go from Artemis to the Earth Forces' Lunar Headquarters, what would they do?" He asked, wanting Ades to think about it for a moment.

"So then those naval vessels are out there, they are waiting there to provide supplies for resupply, or maybe greet them, perhaps escorts?" Ades wondered, having a feeling that he knew what his superior meant when he asked such as question and that if this were the case then it might be a problem.

"That would mean the Earth Forces' naval fleet were making a rendezvous with the Legged Ship, knowing that they will be escorted to the Lunar Headquarters." Alex declared.

Which this suspicious is confirmed about the EA's naval fleet attempt to rendezvous with the Legged Ship (Archangel), it would mean this mission will jeopardize if the new warship, includes the last G-Weapon – The Strike, will successful for escort to the Lunar Headquarters.

"They haven't detected our presence yet, have they?" Rau responded, not wanting to take any chances regarding the situation that came at hand and especially as it'll give them the element of surprise when the time to strike arises. "Don't lost sight of them. Follow them carefully."

"We're following them?" Ades muttered in a somewhat surprised expression, remembering that they still had to complete the mission given to them from Chairman Zala concerning Lacus. "But…"

Rau knew what Ades was going to say and needed to tell him that he hasn't forgotten their current assignment.

"Of course, we will also continue our search for Ms. Lacus Clyne." The masked commander interject responded with a confident smile forming, making the brown-haired Captain a bit confused as the masked commander glanced back at the map. "But at the same time, we can't overlook this because of one girl."

"I agreed with my mentor, Ades. We can't lose this opportunity." Alex concluded.

"Thank you, Alex. I'd hate to be laughed at by historians of future generations." Rau concluded.

==Vesalius, Hanger==

Within the Vesalius' MS Hanger, the Aegis along with GINN - Miguel Aimen Custom, Rau's CGUE and the three normal GINNs stood proud and tall, while Athrun reflected on the chance of facing Kira again along the way to what he originally thought was the Debris Belt.

'You're out there somewhere; I know I'll see you again.' He says in thoughts from within the pilot's lounge, reflecting on his encounters with Kira at Heliopolis and the confrontation with him in the battle outside of Artemis.

And includes Athrun still had his thoughts recalled the mysterious pilot of the Black Knight MS who first encountered on the same boat as Kira does. He still wondering what promise Kira made to him for spare his own life.

'I needed to ask Kira about that promise he made…?' He concludes mentally.

Miguel on the other hand, was inside the cockpit of his customized orange GINN in hopes of improving its specs and OS before the possible next battle he ends up in.

'If I see that Red-Winged Knight again, I'm going to capture that machine and hopefully the others doesn't get in the way when that happens such as that Moebius Zero. And the Strike will be given to Ein, this machine will be the first in my list.' He says in thought silently, knowing that the Strike's true power came from the Strike Packs it used in battle and if they could take out the pack, it would help make capturing the remaining G-Weapons a lot easier.

Miguel wanted the Red-Winged Knight due to its customize arsenals such as wielding a pair of golden swords, integrated wing cannons, drill knees, combat knights on each compartments, arm Vulcan guns, automatic beam pistols and rapid-fire rifle.

So that have most brilliant minds on ZAFT will learned its secrets by capturing one of the unknown G-Weapons, and learned about how many that needed to be inspected that what stores such as what kind of material used on mobile suits and weapons, along with its power source.

'This one will be for you, Rusty. Hopefully that Ein will be the one will pilot it.' He concluded.

==Vesalius, Back to the Bridge==

"What's the status of the Elena Team?" Rau inquired.

"Got word from her reported the Legged Ship was sighted on the area, it seems they left the Debris Belt." Ades reported. "So far, that's where the remains of Junius Seven."

"I see…" Rau says understandable, regarding just as he thought about the remains of Junius 7 were dragged onto the Debris Belt.

"That would mean that if she must've gone to Debris Belt if the Legged Ship is there…I hope that she won't get herself careless." Alex says guessing about Elena's head straight into the battle. "…And I assume that the Legged Ship must've gotten supplies…by salvaging."

"What!?" Ades says in shocked quickly stood up from the captain's chair. "Are you certain, Commander Seymor?"

"That confirms everything. I assume that after Artemis since the Gamow prevents the Legged Ship from resupplying. So their last resort will be salvaging to the Debris Belt." Rau says gotten confirmed regarding lost sightings on the Legged Ship after Artemis.

"Then…" The brown-haired captain spoke up but was trailed out regarding what two white uniformed commanders had theorized everything regarding the Legged Ship's (Archangel) attempts.

"It would seems that means after getting supplies if they ignored the remains of Junius 7 while under salvaging, if they didn't disturb the most important gravesite under anniversary, so that would mean just as Alex confirmed it, but just only a minimal amount of them, perceived…the Earth Forces' Fleet will set a rendezvous with the Legged Ship." Rau declared.

"It is, but I known Elena and her fleet was on the Debris Belt, they were located is ahead of us. I am assumed those if she's will either engaged or followed the Legged Ship. I believe the warship must've left in the hurry after gotten what they needed." Alex concluded.

"And includes we can make do with three teams, especially with the Orimura Team involved in the fight." Rau added.

"The Orimura Team, sir? You mean the 'Silver and Shadow Knights' were under their command?" Ades inquired.

Hearing Ades' sudden curious, which Rau began to explained to him, remembered seeing eye-to-eye with Chifuyu Orimura, she is considered the most skillful pilot in ZAFT military which his skills equal to hers.

"Yes, one of them specializes in long-range since besides Madoka Orimura, along with another specialized in close combat. They are under tutelage, just only four men team. Since Chifuyu's skills were matched with me, with a custom CGUE armed with her own custom sword other than standard. She was on the Grimaldi Front with her sister Madoka."

And includes Chifuyu introduce Madoka to Rau, when she's a fresh-out green coat, but until expecting how skill she is.

"Chifuyu took down 5 Drake-class vessels with the experimental High-Maneuver GINN that where I was once pilot it before CGUE was developed and deployed, while Madoka piloted the Reconnaissance-type GINN without the secondary pilot to assist its aiming, so the mobile suit itself had an AI installed, she shot down 5 and 10 flagships under high-ranking officers who was onboard."

He did remember that the Orimura sisters were on the Grimmaldi Front.

"They were able to take out more Earth Forces ships in a span of a minute with their overwhelming speed and strength. Chifuyu took out several squadron of Moebiuses and while Madoka took down Earth Forces ship. They displayed the excellent teamwork during the Battle of Nova. Hence why the Earth Forces called them: the 'Silver and Shadow Knights'."

Ades' eyes widen in shock in surprised at his superior's explanation. To hear a duo of female older and younger sisters take out more than just 10 ships within a literal minute is something he cannot wrap his mind around. Perhaps they can continue with the mission since the Silver and Shadow Knights can easily make short work of the advance fleet before focusing their attention on the Legged Ship and their mobile suits.

"I'd heard rumors since Madoka Orimura's mobile suit had an AI that assists its targeting system which being a sniper. That AI is Tabane Shinonono." Alex concluded.

"You mean 'Tabane the Genius'? I'd heard of her, no one had seen or heard from her, she was off the radar since after she customized Commander Orimura's CGUE's thrusters and provide different types of ammunition similar to the APSV rounds." Ades summarized, which this is what she is called.

"It's true, she also had a younger sister since she didn't gotten where her whereabouts. So far, she did gotten calls, even unable to track it down to where." Rau stated.

"You mean…"

"Yes, since the council will decide to have 'them' to join this pursued and made a mission to annihilate." Rau confirmed at Ades' claimed about the relation and includes Tabane's younger sister had affiliations with.

"Well, that's quite neat and dandy. I guess you're right about it. Should we contact the 'Silver Glint' to see if they team is ready for their deployment?" Ades suggestion.

"It's about time we do so." Rau obliged at the ship's captain, as he turn around to appoint one crewman to patch their communication channel to the Silver Glint's. "Crewman, patch us through the Silver Glint."

"Yes sir!"

After a minute or two, a video screen popped up on their viewing port window. There, a video screen shows Chifuyu Orimura herself, wearing a white commander ZAFT uniform. Noticing her eyes were furrowed that gotten the crewman on this bridge startled and had their spines shivered in nervous and terrified at those gold piercing gaze.

'Commander Orimura's 'infamous' glare…I wasn't expect that.' Alex says in thoughts expecting, resists from that glare of the raven-haired woman.

"Commander Chifuyu." Rau greeted, hold himself back from the cold eyes of black-haired woman.

Commander Chifuyu Orimura greets back the masked commander from the other side of the communication feed.

["Commander Le Creuset…"]

"Is your team ready to be deployed in this sortie?"

["They are good to go, Le Creuset."] Chifuyu replied while she still had her eyes furrowed. ["So, what is our plan of action? While began the search for Ms. Lacus Clyne, Madoka was concern for her own friend."]

Rau did have seen her glare before during the academy and includes her strictness, he did keep himself stand and push back her force. And includes he's well-aware about Lacus Clyne's friendship with the Shadow Knight.

Which what is the reason made Chifuyu glared at him before receiving transmission.

"I am aware your sister's friendship with Ms. Clyne. But I would like to inform you something expecting to come. It seems that we've stumbled upon some…unexpected guests. They may be here as escorts for the Legged Ship, so it would be wise for us to eliminate them in the process." He responded.

["Planning to bait the Legged Ship by attacking these naval escorts? I suppose our mission to rescue Ms. Lacus Clyne will have to be postponed for now, yes?"]

Chifuyu Orimura gotten report and briefing from the higher-ups about the existence of the G-Weapons and the new Warship developed by the Earth Forces; since the Le Creuset did accomplished stole 4 of the 5 Experimental mobile suits for the EA, so far the last unit was secured by the enemy forces.

Since then when her friend Tabane wanted to study and developed its beam weaponry equipped on Mobile Suits, along with its brightest minds on ZAFT needed to accomplished; and includes the existence of the 3 unreported mobile suits during the raid on Heliopolis.

"Correct, Commander Orimura. If those vessels en route are delivering supplies and relief to the Legged Ship, then it's all the more urgent to take them out quickly and swiftly. Once they're gone, we can strike them on the spot, eliminating them before they can reach Earth Alliance's Lunar Headquarters." Rau says briefing.

["I supposed that there is no time to waste. Madoka will not be so happy if I tell her about your course of action, while we are ready to be sortie."] Chifuyu obliged.

"Ms. Clyne can wait, I'm sure your sister can understand." Rau reassured.

Chifuyu nod her head understandable while being strict in her personality.

"We have our chances of eliminating the Legged Ship, if the warship will slip from our grasp. Besides, I have full confidence that our teams can easily get the job done. Especially with your best unit involved with the fight." He added.

Chifuyu contemplated on this for a minute before turning her attention to the masked commander.

["Very well, I shall debrief my team and my sister for a minute before they launch from my ship, with me to be deployed. With luck, we should be able to accomplish the mission in no time."] She replied.

"That's right, but tread carefully on this one. The ship isn't the only threat we have to worry about. You have to take into consideration the famous 'Hawk of Endymion', the Strike's pilot, and the three Knights' pilots." Rau quipped on this briefing.

"As for your objectives, your team should focus on taking out the advance fleet, along with Laconi Team led by Miguel Aimen, while the Porto Team led by Athrun Zala will handle the Legged Ship. since you and your team is set and ready to go, I'll let you have the honors in letting them take the reins. After all, I am rather eager to see the famed 'Silver and Shadow Knights' in action."

["…Very well. We'll take your advice to heart, Commander Le Creuset…But…I will not forgive you for what had done in Heliopolis…"] Chifuyu replied with her eyes narrowed that made Rau tensed, along with Ades and Alex.

"May I ask why are you looked upset?" Rau inquired wondering.

["Upset? UPSET!? Try FURIOUS! My brother, Ichika, you idiot…! If you have not known that my brother was on that colony! What were you thinking!? D-Type Equipment on a colony that belongs to ORB no less!"]

Ades' eyes widen about why Chifuyu was furious about? He knew she had a brother who lives in ORB since his kidnap attempt incident.

'I'd forgotten about their brother. Since then when he was an open target for Blue Cosmos.' The ship's captain says in thoughts with sudden revelation, and felt sympathy towards to Chifuyu's younger brother, and includes Madoka's twin brother. 'I knew something would happen if Commander Orimura will antagonize anyone! I'd heard from Nicol Amalfi had a friend back at the PLANTs, and even Athrun Zala includes.'

["If you want to know about what I'd heard…? I was there at the meeting with my sister. Madoka and I were accompanying Chairman Clyne during the Supreme Council meeting had started."] Chifuyu explained with a venom tone. ["I hate the way when you have not known about my brother was on Heliopolis."]

"…I was not aware about your brother was on that colony, Commander Orimura." Rau frowned at his fellow white uniformed commander. It is unaware about Chifuyu's younger brother Ichika's existence since he took refuge on ORB-controlled colony, where EA secretly developed 5 G-Weapons.

["Then, if I would like remind you if I strangle you for this mess before come to Vesalius!"] Chifuyu exclaims furiously at Rau, she's serious to threaten him.

"Now, now, there is no need to get too violated. Besides, it's the only way to get rid of that warship and the last G-Weapon since I wasn't aware about your brother was resided in Heliopolis." Rau reassure. "If I know your brother, he would be evacuating the colony and return to ORB, right about now."

["That's what I thought, Le Creuset! I was waiting for my brother's name to be on the list! If he's still alive…there's no telling where he is if he's currently on ORB or not."] Chifuyu retorted, keeping her emotions regarding her brother's safety.

"Commander Orimura…I know you concern about your brother, but please…have fate." Rau said.

["Understood…I will not forgive you for what you did in Heliopolis, Le Creuset…This is Commander Orimura, out!"]

With that, Chifuyu ended the line after gave him a last glare, leaving Rau and Alex, as the latter spoke up.

"Expecting than less for Commander Chifuyu had hated you for to use a last resort on the ORB-controlled neutral colony. If you did or not expecting that colony refuge our Coordinator kind." Alex says commented.

Hearing that, as Rau turned his attention to Ades, since he did order a last resort to destroy the Archangel and the last G-Weapon; regarding Chifuyu Orimura angrily towards the masked commander for using heavy armament equipment into GINNs.

"Ades, get Athrun and Miguel along with the pilots of the Porto Team over here in the bridge, I needed to give them for a debrief before they're sent out to aid the Orimura Team; and includes contacting the Galvani for Laconi Team to join the briefing." The masked commander instructed, ignoring his disciple's comment or he did.

"Yes sir!" Ades acknowledged.

==Back to the Archangel==

["Direction 45, mark 10, alpha! Route change completed. Engines at 60 percent."] Intercom announced.

At interior of the Archangel, seeing most of the refugees on the mess hall were relief since the announcement from the staff. Afterwards, most of the Heliopolis refugees had their thoughts about something regarding wanted to leave.

"There's nothing to worry about now." One of the male refugees had said feeling relieved and reassured, appeared to be a parent or someone's lover.

"I wonder how long before we join them." Another male concluded.

"I'm sick and tired of this ship." The female spoken to her husband didn't want to stay in the Archangel any longer because of the ZAFT.

"What? Papa is…!" Flay asked, becoming surprised of what she heard the good news from her fiancée that her father was going to be on his way to meet with the Archangel.

"Yes! He's here with the Advance Forces to greet us." Sai concluded, given her a good news regarding George Allster's presence among the five EA vessels that would be coming to meet with the Archangel.

This made the red-haired girl beam up at the fact that she'll get to see her father face-to-face for the first time since before the war started.

"Really?" She asked again with a hopeful tone to her voice and started to smile even wider at the possibility. But she wasn't sure if she wanted to see him about regarding the revelation about her father support the Blue Cosmos, especially because of this revelation.

"I'm sure he had no idea that you're onboard, Flay…" Sai said since it would be a good thing that he learned this as it'll be great to see Vice Minister again after a very long time, but hoped the older man wouldn't be angry over the fact that the Archangel had a two Coordinator consists of Kira and Lacus onboard and then there's Tekkadan - a child soldier group under leadership of Naruto, Menma, and Gaara; and all, then again, it'll have to wait till they linked up.

"…But we just forwarded our crew list to them." He finished.

Flay nodded at this as she gave a smile, as soon as Sai left, knowing that he still had some duties to attend to right now, as she soon took notice or Miriallia coming into the cafeteria.

"Mir, how are you doing?" Flay inquired before she sat onto the table.

"Hi, Flay. I'm doing okay." Mir replied as she took a seat next to her friend. "Kira and the others said we will be meeting up with your father, soon, I bet you're happy to see him, too."

Flay nodded at this and gave a smile as she looked at Mir.

"I am, yet, I'm also a little worried at what he will say when I made a friend with a Coordinator like Lacus, now." She replied, as Mir placed her hand on Flay's shoulder. "Well, since I first met her, still trying to get used to being around Coordinators since Kira is one of them."

"Oh? Is that so?" She asked the red-haired girl with a slight frown, having no idea that she wasn't exactly a fan of Coordinators, but if she had two Coordinators that were her friends, then it should be okay to talk to him; in fact she suspected that one of the Coordinators she refer to was Ichika, well, he is a half-breed, after all, yet had no idea the Archangel had another Coordinator onboard.

"In any case, I am not a natural like you, but I don't belong with the Earth Forces. Believe me." She concluded, as she replaced her expression and answered her first statement.

"Well, I'm sure that your father will understand. And I'm sure that you'll get used to it." She said with a kind smile, feeling relief that Flay had becoming a new person with a simple leaf' as she took noticed of Jenna and Mia walk in and saw Flay and Mir were talking.

Since Jenna taken Lily to the hanger where her brother was, since the Archangel's engineering crew didn't mind for having a cute little girl entered the hanger since she was related to Lincoln Loud.

"How are you doing, Flay?" Jenna asked as she looked over to where Flay was sitting.

"I'm doing fine, Jenna. I see you already taken Lily back to her brother." Flay replied.

"Yeah, she watches her brother work, after all." The red-brunette stated.

Flay had noticing the light blue haired girl clad, which made the former recognize her, noticing a doctor's white lab coat with red cross. Which she did recalled about her who is with Gaara before onboard the Archangel, since her hair color is a dead giveaway, which she never meet someone like her.

"Say, you haven't introduced us to your friend." Flay says gestured at Mia.

"Oh right!" Jenna says in realized as she gestured at Mia to Mir and Flay. "Girls, this is Mia Neptunia. She's the Tekkadan's Medical Officer, while she and I were on the same Medical Corp; Medical is my part-time and while as a Cook to serving food."

Hearing that that caught the ears of the refugees who grateful for the young lady serving food.

"Oh! I didn't notice you when coming to the Archangel's Medical Wing. Sorry about that." Mir says didn't expecting to have another medic such as Desmond and Dietrich.

"It's okay, I'm sure you didn't know." Mia replies insisting, as she and Jenna sat with the other girls.

"I've also seen you with Mr. Gaara. It's not hard to notice your hair." Flay stated she remembered when seeing her when caught her eye before seeing Gaara back at the hanger.

"Oh! I see you remembered when you were in the lifeboat where I was volunteered, along with Dietrich." Mia said remarks at Flay remembered since after Heliopolis' destruction (in CH06). "And also I'd heard about the announcement when the Advance Forces Fleet coming to greet us."

"Yes, I can get to see Papa, soon, so that we can leave before the Archangel will meeting up with the Advance Forces." Flay stated looked happily to get to see her father again. "But…I am not sure if I wanted to say to him when I made a friend with a Coordinator."

Since they were aware about Flay's father, Vice Minister George Allster of the Foreign Affairs and include a supporter to Blue Cosmos. So far that knowing the members of Tekkadan will started hostile towards him if he sees him, not to mention if knowing Jing Hayabusa will caught him, very soon.

"That makes sense, not to mention you did…go pretty close to Kira Yamato, right?" Jenna inquired that made Flay tensed.

"Well…I'm not pretty sure if I had to…I mean…Kira can be so sweat since after I apologize to him." She replies with a smile feeling unsure.

Miriallia looked at her longtime friend and nodded at this.

"Yeah he is, but that's who Kira is after all." Mir said with a smile of her own, and she just felt sorry that Kira was forced to fight and kill; knowing this now who he was. All thanks to Naruto to convince him to fight to protect, since then during the fight, he haven't kill anyone during travel all the way towards Artemis, before escaping Heliopolis.

"If only I had met him before, then maybe…" Flay says with a smile, but trailed off, and shook the thoughts that she had in her head, as Mir looked at her friend with a smile, while Jenna and Mia were both giggle at this.

"Maybe 'what', Flay?" Mir inquired with a sly smile on her face, leaning closer to Flay. "Are you starting to like Kira?"

"What do you mean?" Flay asked, blushing slightly as she looked over to a smiling Mir, Jenna, and Mia that were also smiling at her. "Kira's considered me his friend but that doesn't mean that I like, 'like' him."

"Right, sure it doesn't." Mir says giggled as she looked at Flay with a smile on her face and then looked at her other two female friends that were with her right now. "Whatever you say, after all Flay I think that you like him as in more than a friend."

The red-haired girl shook off the blush and stared straight at her friend with a serious expression.

"Look, it's not like you and Tolle, Kira and I are just friends, nothing more." Flay said as she looked at the three.

"Don't forget me and Isaac." Jenna added, which Flay did well aware about her relationship with Isaac during the talk as friends.

"If you say so, Flay…" Mir said shrugged, trying her best not to laugh before deciding to change the subject. "How do you feel about Lacus Clyne being onboard the ship?"

"Well I…" Flay began to replied.

The younger girl lowered her head, remembering when the life-pod that Naruto brought onto the 'Archangel' opened and first revealed the Songstress. Even though since Kira didn't had lay eyes on her.

"I'm not really sure, ever since I was here, I don't know what to believe anymore." She says feeling unsurely.

"What do you mean?" Milly inquired.

"Well I…" Flay started to say, but…

"Well, that means you guys will be going home, then."

Hearing Isaac's voice that cuts Flay's sentence off, as he walked into the room, along with Kira and Tolle, as well, yet, Jenna looked at the smile Isaac had, which they could all tell was forced his mind was still on a lot of things right now.

The others could tell knowing they'll leave, soon, since Tekkadan will remain associates with the Archangel.

"Yeah, we will be meeting up with them, once they do; now we'll be going home to Earth!" Tolle says feeling excited to reassign to leave the Archangel. "Although, if I wanted to see the Isaribi, since Naruto taken Captain Ramius and Lieutenant La Flaga tour."

"Don't worry, I'll gave you details about our ship, and that includes we have a small fleet as well." Isaac assures at Tolle. "After all, I was told by Lincoln about that we won't break our promises."

"Really? That's great! I am looking forward to see that ship of yours." The brunette teen replied.

With that, as Isaac went to get some drink, as Tolle turned to Kira, after gotten the bottle and returned and until hearing Tolle spoke up to the latter.

"So, Kira, you're going back to the hanger for another run on the maintenance, after we heard the announcement?" The brunette inquired.

"Yeah, I better put up for another run, once I'll make final adjustments." Kira replied, before leave the cafeteria. "I better get back before Mr. Murdoch gets impatient."

"Here, Kira!" Isaac says handed a bottle of refreshment to Kira with a straw. "It's electrolyte drink, so you can keep going."

"Thanks." Kira reply appreciated as he takes the drink, and leaves the cafeteria and heading down to the hanger…

==Archangel, Hanger==

With Kira had arrived the hanger where Murdoch had called for him.

"Sorry, I'm late!" Kira called out to Murdoch when he was on front of the open cockpit of the Strike, as he floated in zero-G towards to him, while holding his drink after taken some sips, which it taste like apple.

"Oh, right! I made changes to the standing geometry offset values." The Archangel's Chief Engineer said to Kira, for wanted the Strike's adjustments on the OS. "I want you to check it over."

"Sure." Kira obliged, as Murdoch looked up the Strike's head unit.

"Although, you may never be using this guy again." He concludes smiled, as Kira also looked up at the Strike.

"I'm sure hope that will be over…" Kira replied, while eyes onto the Gundam, looked forward to leave and going home on Earth. "Not to mention Tekkadan will stick around."

"Yeah, Cid had fill me in, and he describe it to me about their ship itself, it's about either Narseille III-class or Drake-class, and includes Nazca-class as well." Murdoch stated, he gotten informed by his old friend after gave him a new hacking system for his TACPAD.

"Not to mention, we appreciated Cid and his Tekkadan engineers for provide some share of their ammo for Lieutenant La Flaga's Zero and modified the Gunbarrels as well with their knowledge." He concluded. Since Kira notice several of Archangel's engineers were working on the Moebius Zero's Gunbarrels.

While Kira had eyes on at the Strike, he's hoping that he'll leave and going home at Earth, get to see his parents, very soon.

With Gaara was on the cockpit of Gusion while the Tekkadan's engineers were checking everything on the machine since the former had owned the ASW-G-11 MS, as he did checking the mainframe.

Since he heard the announcement about made contact with the Advance Forces Fleet, while Mu went ecstatic along with Murdoch and the engineers of the Archangel were joyful for hope had never lost.

"…Well, I guess things went complicate once this will be over…or is it not…" The redhead pilot of Gusion said.

==Archangel, Naruto & Lacus' quarters==

Meanwhile, Lacus sat in the room of hers and Naruto, sat on the chair, playing with her Haro as it rolled around on the table.

"Haro! Are you fine?" Haro chirped pacing side-by-side.

"I have an idea; let's play a game, Mr. Pink." Lacus declared for wanted to play a game. "Here's a question. Where are we currently headed?"

"Oh?" Haro moans rolls around the table.

Which that made Lacus giggles softly at her Haro's antic.

"Wanna see me mad?" The robotic pet concluded.

==Archangel, Back to the Hanger==

With Naruto Uzumaki had arrived at the hanger, noticing Cid working on one of the Gunbarrels of Mu's Moebius Zero, accordingly to Gaara, Mu wanted his personal MA to be customized fitted with beam weaponry, and includes its Linear Cannon needed to chambered with its 'Special Ammunition', the PE Bullets.

Knowing it takes time to finish while Cid did help to stabilize it, just only for the Linear Cannon, so far, knowing if encountered Le Creuset Team with the stolen G-Weapons, if it's encountered with the different ZAFT vessel, keeping current ammunition once it's ready.

As Naruto walked through the catwalk, noticing Kira starring at his MS - the GAT-X105. Seeing this that gotten his perfect time to talk to him since after this fiasco back at Junius 7, as he walked up to his side and then looked at the head unit of the Strike as well.

On Kira's case, since after he did some adjustments for the Strike's OS, while before checking it which there weren't any problems.

"So~, what's been troubling you?" The blonde asked to Kira regarding his current dilemma.

"Back at Junius 7, when the enemy recon-type mobile suit was about to fired one of the Worker Pods, where Kuzzey was onboard. I couldn't shoot it down. If you were not having been there, they could have died because of me…" Kira answered eyes onto the floor, feeling depressed.

With a flashback on his mind when he fires a beam at the Recon-Type GINN, just only its arm.

'Must've been he still had thought back from the words that gave him from that bastard Garcia, and his friend Athrun, huh.' Naruto says in thoughts with a frown, it is understandable about Kira's struggling to shoot down his own Coordinator kind, before spoke up out of his thoughts.

Naruto went to Garcia's holding cell, and includes his underlings, seeing the results of Menma's work, both physical and mental (sans for Fenton's terror song) state, he did traumatize the poor Commandant. And so, Naruto decide to comfort Kira's current dilemma.

"It's really hard to kill, Kira. Not knowing if any of those two pilots has someone is waiting for them back home. I mean, these guys did fired first, before engaged and nearly destroyed an unarmed Pod. You did have no choice but to defend it. So they 'did' fired first and I took my chance to end it." He said statement, while looking at the Strike, before he continued.

"Tell me, Kira, if you would have to choose; between killing your targets or sparring them. What will you choose?"

Hearing that from Naruto's question, this made Kira looking at him and replies to answer.

"I would choose to spare them." The Coordinator answered.

Hearing his friend's answer of what he had claimed, Naruto looked at him and says.

"You have a good heart, Kira; I have no doubts about that. But what I will say next, you should think about it."

"Um, sure, what is it?" Kira quipped wondering.

"If you don't want to kill, then I will teach you how to use your mobile suit properly. I will teach you how to disabled your foes without killing them." Naruto replied.

But that surprises Kira of what he had heard that indicate that he offers the young brown-haired Coordinator to be teach how to non-kill his own kind. As he was bowing at him and spoke up, convincing with newfound hope.

"Please! Teach me, Naruto! I don't want to kill anybody, again!"

Naruto quickly grabbed Kira's shoulder and made him stand up straight.

"You don't have to bow to me, Kira. You're my friend. I won't let my friends down." Naruto says reassured, with a smile.

"Thank you, Naruto. This would really help me to ease up my conscience." Kira says grateful at Naruto, with a smile.

"Don't sweat it. But you must promise me this, Kira. When you know the enemy will comes back and would harm your friends and/or family. I want you to do what's necessary to protect your love ones…besides, includes Tekkadan, since they are also my family as well." Naruto concluded.

"Tekkadan is family, huh…" Kira muttered disbelief that knowing the group of child soldiers considered family. Thinking on what the blonde had transpired from those words, which means that he was inspired by Naruto, himself. "Yes, Naruto, I will do what's necessary to protect everyone, if it comes down to it."

Hearing Kira's declaration, making Naruto smiled at his spirit and determent.

"That's the spirit! Now, I want you to meet me here tomorrow morning after breakfast. We will start your training." The blonde said to his friend by gave him a pat on his shoulder, before turning and went to his mobile suit, Barbatos; by get there floating in Zero-G.

"I will be here!" Kira shouted obliged at his blonde friend's instructions, which the latter raised his right hand to give him a thumbs up.

With Kira was alone on the catwalk, as he turned his head looked at the head unit of his mobile suit and thought to himself.

«anna ni issho datta no ni…»

(Cue Violin: 0:37-0:41)

'Finally…! I will have the power to fight, without killing anyone.' He says in thoughts, before looking back at his friend where heading towards to Barbatos. As he started to forget about Garcia's words that pains him, and so that there is someone gave him hope for not to kill anybody and includes his fellow Coordinators.

«yuugure wa mou chigau iro…»

(Instruments Played: 0:47-0:55)

'Thank you, Naruto. I promise to do everything what it takes to protect this ship and my friends…Even if I need to kill for them to be safe.' He concluded.

As the scene swifts replace with the stern of the Archangel, flew towards its destination…

Author's Note:

(0). N/A

(1). Refer to Superman/Kal-El transported into the future instead of killed him; it's called 'Hereafter'. With Allegiance of Evil attempt to 'killed' the last Kryptonian.

So Savage helped and send Superman back to the past and changed everything, so far that the time paradox will repair the future.

(2). If I wrote it about if gave an answer to Kira and his friends about this, it will cause reaction about how wrong to had orphan children to be implanted with Alaya-Vijana System.

Glad that Naruto and Menma did healed them to restore their spine and revived back from the death's door. That's because they are chakra-users, the 3 last remnants of the ancient past.

(3). Got that from my Naruto x RWBY Crossover stories, it is my creative after all since it is consists of Season 1-3.

Well, decide to have Naruto to use dark visage came from Naruto x DxD (with Sekirei), includes some other stories involved the scary hannya mask that Miya uses…Oh! That includes her husband Takehito. It was funny and scary too.

Well, decide to bring up Sekirei, once I'll add it into the Elements, so far, many Sekirei numbers that would troublesome, so decide to bring out just few other than many.

…Includes, there's a story in Gundam SEED had similar thought, the story I've read before regarding 'Noh Masks' and 'Mercenaries', trust me, and it's also funny for scared those poor bastards.

(4). Gotten that idea came from 'Dark Encounters' in Darkstalkers; if you want to know where, if you can figure it out, by now. So far, if I cannot tell you or if anyone has already knows, right about now.

I promise you for get to read it.

(5). Silver Glint based on similar to White Glint in Armored Core. I had been struggled to find and come up with a name for Chifuyu's ZAFT Nazca-class vessel.

I was bit struggled to come up with names of ship such as Jackdaw and Morrigan, includes Experto Crede. And then come up with names in language meaning such as 'El Dorado' (former name of Jackdaw).


Weapon Information:

(W1). N/A

Noted: I'd forgotten the Weapons information review from the previous chapters, well, since it's too late for now to change it. And includes the 'Author's Note' on the top.


Here you go! Chapter 14! Damn, I did taken time to come up with ideas for this story. Geez! I have completely finished this chapter, this is considered a final and part 2 of this Arc, since meeting with Lacus Clyne who onboard the Archangel. I did finish it which this story had 72 pages if you count how many words are.

With Flay Allster made a new friend with Lacus, since almost to be precise that she'll get used to be around with Coordinators, well, except for Ichika being a half-breed, of course. And I'm sure that this is best choice I'd made for having this sort of thing.

So, since Flay will talk to her father about the whole 'Anti-Coordinators' nonsense! Since hope that she tell him if she really is or perhaps a half-breed, so it will be come, literally.

Anyway, here is new OC I've made recently, which I was completely struggled to come up with a name such as David, Edward, Alphonse, and even Shay.

So, I introduce you to my OC, Jing Hayabusa. This OC is basically a Gundam SEED counterpart to the RWBY x Naruto Crossover, SSGN. Well, to tell you the truth, he's not an OP. But he's just a normal OC; he was raised in a CPU for Earth Forces/Blue Cosmos.

I had a help from Gamerman22 for having the information being wrote down. So I've own Jing, after all, not like the Naruto x RWBY counterpart, so he sort of a leader of highly advance military force.

Both small arms and weapons, and includes Mobile suit will be listed soon.

Now…I'd write a new poll since the previous for Ein's new mobile suit, which the decision had made. And this time, it will be Garet since I had spoken Lupus for Isaac, so here's two votes to be decide, feel free to review it for your decision and/or go to my profile to vote it.

And here it is:


Which IBO Gundam-frame for Garet (OC: Golden Sun) in Iron Flower Maelstrom of Cosmic Era. If it's either Brewers' Heavy Armored Gusion or Tekkadan's Gusion Rebake?

= ASW-G-11 Gundam Gusion (Heavy Armored) =
– Brewers –

…Or…

= ASW-G-11 Gundam Gusion Rebake =
– Tekkadan & Teiwaz –


Take your pick, I will be waiting…

Anyway, since with the poll had made on my profile so feel free to vote if you want, also leave a review of what are your thoughts about those two parts for this vote.

And so I left another message for a certain reader recently.


To PhenexGundamKai

Once again, I am so~ sorry, which if I did make it for a 'very' long chapter. I still won't break a promise to you for wanted to read and see the battle with the Elena's Brigade. Just trust me, it is regarding George's Allster's fate, so they will made appearance after Naruto will began train Kira.

So, I'm sure that they will make their appearance and engaged…


Anyway, there are some other compliment things during recent reviews, gave me a trash review, so I know I had to do…So…What are your thoughts about this chapter?

Now, hope you all like this chapter. So please review and comment. I'll update for the next one as soon as I can until most of my files I was working on in this activity!

Lastly, see you all to the next chapter! Peace out!

P.S. DON'T flame this story, and I hate that some people bad and trash comment about this story, I've made that I've destroy it.
