A/N: Here's another for you lot, and a little darker than expected, but it sets in right I think. Also, you noticed that title of this chapter changed, well I decided to make a filler for the actual chapter to come. Up till lately, friends of mine have said that if you enjoy the Gundam series, you'll enjoy Eureka 7, which was like two years ago! But now owning the complete series and watching it, I have to admit that it is actually a good series! I would like to apologise to those for their reviews, I was meant to reply to them through the last chapter but forgot...great huh? Off topic, I recently signed up to the NSPCC, you know, to help those kids less fortunate than myself?
There will be changes to the Gundams later on, nothing particularly major but I will put it on the intelligence data section when it emerges.
Now for the review replies...
Opening Theme: Breaking Out, Breaking Down – Bullet For My Valentine
Phase 50 – Pain Redefined
April 6th C.E.76, 0353 Hours – United Kingdom of Great Britain, London, Grand Prince Hotel, Lobby
Athrun and Cagalli finally returned to the hotel as they spent practically the whole night to themselves, no one bothered them, not to mention to not having the odd tease from Kira. The blonde woman still holds his earlier comment before leaving for the palace; she will get him back for that, one way or another.
The day was peaceful and well deserving considering all the stress that they have on their shoulders, how everything had happened until now, was enough to run down a any normal person.
They walked into the hotel with smiles on their faces whilst holding hands. The night was beautiful and pleasant, no worries or qualms with anyone.
"I had a great night Athrun" sighed the blonde happily as sleep started to take hold over her body.
"Me too" he smiled as he looked into her azure eyes.
They both climbed the large marble staircase to the second floor, which at that moment Athrun replayed the events of tonight in his head.
-Flashback-
0127 Hours – London Eye
"It's basically like one of the rides you get at an amusement park. But its shows you a beautiful view doesn't it?" smiled Athrun, seeing the night lights of London under the night sky.
"Basically yeah, something so basic, and yet it gives you something like this? I applaud the one who thought of it" agreed Cagalli.
Athrun sighed happily. He enjoyed his time alone with the blonde woman, and what a woman she turned out to be. Since their first meeting, she had grown up beautifully and more mature with a still head strong personality. But tonight was special as she looked elegant in that dress she was wearing.
He reached into his pocket, and felt the object of what he planned for at this time. He turned round to look at Cagalli, which he eyed him quizzically.
"What? Do I have something on my face?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah, a little makeup" he smiled.
Cagalli went slightly red and looked away. "I-idiot".
Then Athrun dropped to one, and took her hand into his, as he looked into her beautiful eyes.
"A-Athrun! What are you doing?" gasped Cagalli.
"Cagalli, I love you so much that I would gladly give my life for you" began Athrun.
"Athrun..."
"Please let me finish. Cagalli, when we were separated, my heart ached everyday when I wasn't with you. I had no way to contact you, and at times that I believed Krane killed you. I was only able to keep going thanks to Kira and the others, with Rau saying that he had checked up on you whilst on his visits to Krane. But what kept me going the most was the belief that stubborn and head strong personality you have kept you alive. I don't want to be separated form you again, that's why..."
Athrun went into his pocket and pulled out a velvet box. Flicking it open, he presented her a ring; a diamond glistened in the moonlight.
"A-Athrun?" whispered the blonde in shock.
"Would you marry me, Cagalli Yula Athha?" asked Athrun with courage, but his voice contained nervousness.
Cagalli smiled brightly, with a tear falling from her eyes. "Yes! Yes I wish to marry you Athrun Zala!"
Athrun smiled thankfully, and removed the ring to place it on the correct finger. Cagalli smiled brightly once again and let another tear fall. Suddenly, Cagalli wondered about what Kira would say. Not that it would matter, but it polite to see what he thought of it.
"What about Kira?"
Athrun grinned and stood up holding her hands. They looked deeply into one another's eyes. "He praised the idea Cagalli. All that he wishes for you is to be happy. You are his twin after all"
Cagalli snapped her hands from his grip and wrapped it round his neck whilst placing a delicate, soft kiss on his lips. Athrun believed this was the greatest moment in his life, he vowed to never abandon her again like before. With that, he quickly returned the kiss.
-End of Flashback-
Athrun's smile grew as seeing that face she pulled made him happier to see a more innocent side to her hard, fiery personality.
"Athrun, why are you pulling that smile?" she asked with mischievous grin.
Athrun snapped his head at her, and laughed nervously. 'Err shit. Busted' he thought. "Well-"
A gunshot rang through the white marble hallway from the open garden behind the dining room, which was then followed by a scream of despair, saying Kira's name. The couple's hearts stopped as the worst scenario was placed in their minds immediately. They both ran towards the entrance to the garden hand in hand which then as they came into view of the garden, Cagalli's hand shot out of Athrun's to cover her mouth in horror.
Kira was in the large pond with his head under the water, with his blood mixing with the pond. And then there was Lacus being held back by a woman Cagalli remembered straight away. "Cecile!" screamed the blonde in pure rage. She went to charge at her blindly, but was pulled back as a man with her pointed his Beretta at her. The dark redhead fired two shots at her, but the cover of the marble pillar protected her and Athrun.
"Cecile! We must get going!" shouted the man, not as advice but more of an order.
The woman nodded and ran with the strange redhead towards the garden balcony. They both leapt over the railing and landed perfectly on the pavement which Lacus still licking and screaming Kira's name as she was shoved into a large four by four.
Athrun made it to the balcony to see the vehicle speed off. "Dammit!" growled the blue haired ace, before remembering Kira and ran to the pond where Cagalli was already to her waist below the water lifting him out. He helped her to drag him to the grass where they laid him down. His breathing was irregular and heavy, the wound made sure of that.
"Kira! Kira hang on! We'll get help!" screamed the blonde twin hysterically in fear and desperation.
"Cagalli, help apply pressure to his wound!" ordered Athrun with his tough ZAFT combat training kicking in. She placed her hand onto Athrun's where the wound was.
"Hold on Kira...help will arrive..." Cagalli sobbed with tears rolling down her face.
The sound of sirens echoed louder and louder through the streets.
0411 Hours – Outside London, Prize beach, Grand Prize Hotel
Shinn stirred as his mobile phone cried out for his attention, he groaned as he reached over Stella and flipped it open to see Athrun's name on the caller ID. He brought it up to his ear and yawned before answering. "Yes Athrun?"
"Shinn, where are you?" Athrun's voice sounded annoyed and worried about something, that both played into what Shinn believed to be his lack of sleep.
"I'm in a hotel outside the city. Why?"
"Get back here immediately! Kira's been shot and Lacus has been kidnapped!"
The call ended with Shinn remaining frozen, his boss and best friend, Kira was shot, the person that he was meant to protect. He jumped out of bed and quickly picked up his clothes, this alerted the blonde young lady in the bed.
"Shinn? What's wrong?"
Shinn looked back, both in panic and guilt. The blonde immediately feared the worse, which she also climbed out of bed and pulled her clothes on.
0441 Hours – London, Elizabeth Hospital, Emergency Ward
Shinn and Stella rushed in with more clothing on than when they left the city, Shinn sported in jeans with his white shirt. Stella wore a jacket with white pants. They saw the two couples sitting outside a private room, where they ran towards them, ignoring the cries of the hospital staff to not run. They came face to face with Athrun who had stood up, with his hand still clenching to Cagalli's. Emerald orbs met ruby, a small silence was between them before the raven haired teenager looked through the blinds to see Kira in a bed with life support equipment hooked to him. The ruby eyed ace dropped to his knees.
'It's my fault...I...I should have stayed here and kept an eye on him! He was my mission! My only mission to complete! And, I fucked up!' screamed Shinn in his mind as he held in the tears.
Suddenly Athrun's hand touched his right shoulder, the raven haired man looked up to see a half smile and half grief look on Athrun's face. "It's alright. He's not in danger; the bullet struck his rib and prevented any damage to the heart. However they did have to replace his lung during the operation. He's resting now".
Although that caused Shinn to relax a little, it still didn't make a difference to what had happened. Worry was soon replaced by rage. "Who did this?" he growled under his breath loudly.
"The man we can't identify yet, but the woman was Cecile Boonar, one of Krane's Generals" replied Rey looking like he was about to kill.
0642 Hours – Lagrange Point 5, Shuttle En route to the PLANTS
Cecile sat quietly reading her book whilst she carefully eyed the pink haired icon, who still had tears fall from those captivating cerulean eyes. She had calmed down a little but they wanted to be on the safe side. Originally Cecile decided not to speak to her, as she thought that she would only make the situation worse, or she wouldn't listen. Despite that, she decided to try. "You do know I had no intention of shooting Kira?" she said looking away from her new page to the young woman beside her.
There was silence, no reply which Cecile sighed and then looked back into her book. "I know you didn't intend to. But I can't forgive you or that man for what happened, Kira didn't deserve it!" she wept.
Cecile looked over to Andras who sat happily in his seat looking through documents, matters concerning Mobile weapons. "I understand..."
Lacus looked out of her thick composite plastic and glass window; the earth glowed in a beautiful blue hue around it. She could the site of the nation that she was abducted from, where the reply of what happened played through her head. She closed her eyes and let again set of tears to fall.
Cecile needed to change the subject, which strangely, Cecile had been wondering what strange smell that the woman emitted. She remembered what kind of the scent it was. "Lacus...did you and Kira have sex before you came to see me?"
Lacus spun her head round, with her face bright red and she looked shocked. "H-how?"
"That kind of scent is easily recognised from another person who's done it Lacus" smiled Cecile.
Lacus looked away, a little ashamed to have Cecile know about it.
"You shouldn't be ashamed of it my dear. Besides, since knowing the truth, did you two use protection?"
Lacus looked away from the pink-purplish haired woman, as she was even more ashamed now than before. Cecile smiled. It was like a mother and daughter situation between the two which the child had done something naughty. Seeing this embarrassed side of the legendry Lacus Clyne was a moment to not forget.
"I see. But that is what you wanted, wasn't it?"
Lacus smiled as she turned around slightly. "Actually yes...I want to give birth to his child".
Cecile now was envious, unlike Lacus; Cecile couldn't give birth to a child. It was something she was branded by her father as useless. "You do know that Kira isn't dead. He can't die that easily".
Lacus smile grew. "I know. He makes the impossible seem possible". Lacus used Mu's favourite phrase on her love, as it suited him rather well.
Amidst the conversation between the two, Andras listened to every word, which he sneered at the mention of Lacus wanting to be pregnant.
April 9th, 1258 Hours – PLANTS, Aprilius One Harbour
Krane stood waiting as the shuttle came alongside, and the catwalk was brought across as the hanger became stabilised and filled with oxygen. Andras was first out, with Cecile and Lacus coming out last. The eldest son of Le Creuset smirked at the scene. His first phase of the plan was complete, and now it was only a matter of time until phase two of his plan started. 'Kira if I know one weakness of yours, it's those closest to you. And of course it is mainly the woman who holds the key to your heart, Lacus. Soon enough you will come running here to rescue her, and that will be your undoing'. He shifted himself off the deck in zero-gravity and pushed himself towards the entrance to meet his visitors.
As the doors opened, Andras gave a bow, which Cecile followed afterwards. Lacus glared at the man in front of her. This man, who put countless lives into despair and fear, not to mention to ruin lives just stood there smiling at her.
"It's wonderful to have you back Miss Clyne" he smiled, almost wickedly. "I hope you enjoyed your time with my little brother, but now the play is almost over, and we must draw it to a close soon. The final curtain drop will be Kira's defeat, and my path for humanity secured".
"Kira won't lose to you" stated Lacus in a firm tone. "He'll beat you and stop whatever little scheme your planning".
"Show some respect in front of Krane you little wench! Soon to be the leader of all humanity!" a loyal ZAFT solider declared, raising his rifle.
"You won't shoot me" she eyed the green coat. "Because I'm too vital to be rid of".
"Oh and how did you make that assessment?" asked Krane, intrigued.
"Really Krane, it's that simple. If you wanted to be rid of me, you could have had it done back on earth instead of kidnapping me".
"Very observant".
"Kira will see through this as well".
"True" sighed Krane, but then a evil grin appeared on his lips. "But there are ways to blind him to that".
"Krane" spoke up Andras, looking straight into Krane's dark filled lavender eyes. He moved forward and spoke into his ear. Which Krane looked angrily at Andras at first, before turning his hateful gaze to Lacus.
"You little whore!" growled the long haired brunette. "You seduce my little brother, and wish to carry on the Newtype legacy through you?" he screamed storming to her, grabbing her throat. "I will not have the Newtype line corrupted by your inferior genes!"
Cecile had quickly come to the realisation that Andras must have overheard the conversation that she and Lacus were having in the shuttle. "Lord Krane please be calm about this!" pleaded Cecile, before she could protest any further, she was met by a powerful glare that sent shivers down her spine.
"No! I will not have the Newtype line being corrupted by you!" snarled the brunette glaring into Lacus' eyes. He watched as life was being drained from her cerulean orbs. "You...you were the only reason he continued down that pathetic path of peace! You and those lot he calls friends! You ruined his destiny!"
"He...can...c...chose what..." she spoke with massive difficulty, but Krane's grip tightened. "D-d...destiny he...w...w...wishes...to...f-o-llow".
Suddenly Krane realised his grip on the woman, which the precious oxygen quickly refilled her lungs and body. She coughed and sputtered as she breathed in the vital air that she was deprived only for a few seconds.
"The only reason I'm going to let you live because you are something special to Kira...for some reason". The tall brunette then stormed away, leaving Andras to follow and Cecile to care for Lacus.
"Are you sure you wish to let her live?" asked Andras.
"I haven't got much of a choice now do I?"
"Lord Krane!" called out Cecile which, the brunette looked at her with a stern look.
"What?"
"Did Andras also mention that he put a bullet into Kira's chest?" she asked with a smirk.
Krane shot round and glared angrily with immense rage. "What?" snarled the Krane.
Andras looked nervous, but kept a smile. "My lord, he was aiming at Cecile, I had to do what needed to be down for our escape!"
Krane growled, looked away, then spun round quickly and laid a powerful blow into Andras' stomach. He gasped out in pain and with the air knocked out him. "You ever do that again to him. And I will kill you!"
This time Krane walked off alone. Leaving Lacus who was still regaining her breath wondered what a strange man that Krane was.
April 13th, 0933 Hours – Earth, Kingdom of Great Britain, London, Elizabeth Hospital
Rau walked into the hospital with a straight face. He was neither mad nor happy about what happened all in all. At least that Kira was fine although recovering, was all that mattered. It wasn't the feeling for a father son worry; it was simply Rau's ambition for Kira to finish what he started. And that was why Rau would give his life for the young brunette, considered his son. Rau stepped to the reception and asked for the room Kira was in.
"Fourth floor, Ward E sir" replied the receptionist. She answered him straight away, as he was another one of the well known figures in the Fallen. And not letting the man known to be a legend on the battlefield to see Kira was not the answer he would want, or the hospital.
Making his way up he wondered why Krane would kidnap Lacus, and harm Kira. Although it was simple enough, he wanted Kira to come and get her back, but being shot for it? It wasn't something Krane would order on his pride and joy little brother. Rau's brilliant mind decided to assume that it was human error in means of a soldier not acting accordingly to Krane's orders. He smirked and thought pity on the soldier. But then again he decided not to, and realise that he was going to get what he deserved.
But something else bothered him, Cecile, why was she here also? That was something Rau had not worked out yet, and it was also the first thing that he wondered about, after Kira's condition of course.
He made it to the floor to Kira's room. He noticed a half asleep Rey and Cagalli sitting down, with Luna asleep on Rey's shoulder. Athrun was sitting down also, holding Cagalli's hand, talking to Shinn who was leaning against the wall looking down. Stella was by his side, holding onto his hand.
'I guess they've had it tough. Not that I can blame them really' thought the blonde man as he made his approach to them.
Rey noticed Rau's approach and stood up, giving him a half hearted salute. Rau ignored it, it wasn't the time nor was he in the mood to correct Rey. Everyone else gave a small smile, whilst Cagalli, Athrun and Shinn just pulled a straight face.
'They really are in a bad shape'. Rau looked at Athrun, being the second in command of this group while in Rau's absence, he needed answers straight away from the blue haired ace. "I need to talk to you privately. About the events again, this doesn't make much sense although there are things that can be ruled out easily".
Athrun nodded. "I understand. From what the Brits tell us, the two had arrived in Gibraltar and boarded a passenger vessel into London itself. How they got into the hotel past the guards was that Krane had booked them in before we were".
"He was aware of your arrival?"
"No. He booked their fake names into every hotel in the city. He narrowed it down to Portsmouth, considering the large military harbour, and London due to the politics that Kira might have been engaged in".
"And he knew we would go to London. Dammit" he sighed. "How is he doing? Actually, how did you allow this to happen?"
Everyone remained silent.
"Don't put the silent treatment on me. I need to know". He looked at Shinn and sighed. "You were meant to be his bodyguard, and yet you were somewhere at the beach?"
Shinn looked at Rau, with anger, but it was directed at himself. "He...he ordered me to take some time off" he growled. This was hard on Shinn. Kira was like the older brother he needed, and now the man he sworn to protect for what he did for him and Stella was in bed, with an injury that he could've prevented. It pissed him off.
"I see. Then I shall not press any forward about it"
Everyone looked shocked about it, but realised that Rau wasn't in mood to press anything about it.
"It was Kira's choice. In a sense you could say it was his fault, but he was only looking out for you. Anyway, is he awake?"
"Yes. But the doctors are with him now" answered Cagalli.
Suddenly, the door opened and two doctors stepped out. One a tall pale skinned man with light brown hair, and a slimmer and shorter build man with black looked and noticed Rau immediately. "Ah, Mr. Rau Le Creuset, finally you made it. Mr. Yamato is ready to see you now" explained the tall doctor.
"I see. I will talk to him privately first, understand?"
The question was directed to the group outside. They all nodded miserably.
Rau stepped in and closed the door behind him. "I see you're still alive and kicking. Then again, it is hard to kill someone like you" smirked Rau as Kira's lavender orbs caught him.
"True. But now I am a broken man...as you possibly know" replied Kira, not much effort was put into his voice. It was sad and painful.
"Yes. I have been fully briefed on what happened. But for now, we must organise her rescue".
Kira chuckled. "I knew you liked Lacus' songs, but that much that you brought it up first?"
"Well to be honest, you probably would have decided it before I just brought it up just now. Am I right?" asked Rau with a risen eyebrow.
"Of course" replied Kira in a firm voice. "I will get her back! No matter what the cost! Krane will-!". Suddenly Kira sputtered and coughed hard.
"You should take it easy for now. I have also been briefed on you medical condition. You are getting better, or shall I say improving considering what happened, with a donor lung in you now. The recovery you have is always remarkable for medical standards".
"That's because of my genes".
"Indeed" replied Rau with a nod. "Anyways, I have something for you. It's from the PLANTS, addressed to you". Rau went into his pocket and pulled out a small package, about the size of his hand. "It's been checked for anything like a bomb or chemicals as such, but there's nothing except a disc inside. I didn't open it, as I wanted you to be the first to look into it. It's without a doubt something about Krane as well as Lacus".
Kira took the package out of Rau's hands. "I will. Thank you".
"Now get better" asked Rau standing up. "We have a rescue mission to prepare for, and I know you wish to be at the front line". Rau then walked out, and closed the door lightly.
'I wonder, what is it that Krane would have sent me?'. Kira opened the package and pulled out the disc. It looked ordinary. No funny smell of chemicals or a small explosive device in the package confirmed Rau's tests. It wasn't as if Kira didn't believe him, it was something called human cautions to see it with his own eyes. 'I better have a look what is on it and find out what is it that was he sent me'.
Outside
Rau stepped back out which everyone turned to the blonde, questioning what he talked to Kira about. Rau caught their gazes and snorted. "It's nothing trivial I assure you".
"Then what did you discuss?" asked Cagalli, staring at the blonde man. Through all the time she was freed from ZAFT, she never accepted Rau as father, and that was in question to her as if she was actually related to the man.
"About Lacus, Kira is hell bent to get her back as expected".
"Well all of us are hell bent to get her back" Athrun replied looking at the man. "I know that you're not fully up to that".
"Well, I do wish to retrieve her from Krane's grasp, but you must look at the bigger picture here".
"Which is?" spoke Luna after having a stretch.
"ZAFT kidnapped Lacus, and left Kira alone, sort of. And they take her to the PLANTS. Now why do you think they did that?"
"So Kira enters the loins den to get back Lacus" answered Rey.
Rau nodded, he was always was glad he had him around to come straight to the point around people like Shinn.
"So, you believe it's a trap?" asked Athrun resting his head back on the wall behind him.
"That is highly probable" replied Rau.
"Okay. If that's the case then...wouldn't you think that Kira knows that already?" questioned Shinn. "He does think beyond the obvious here. He's probably aware of what is waiting for him".
"True. And Krane most likely knows this too. That's why; he needs something to trigger him to not think straight...but what could-".
Suddenly a frightening scream filled the corridors, mixed with rage and pain. Like someone suffering from a terrible nightmare that was so real, that it caused you to thrash and scream yourself awake. But this was not something from a dream, it was real, and it was happening in the room Kira is in now.
Everyone burst into the room to see a wide teary eyed brunette looking shocked at the screen that he had been watching. Rey moved forward to see what it was, and what he saw, froze him to the core. He had the exact same expression Kira had on his face. He started to shake and looked back at his father, who bravely walked forward to see what it was, followed by everyone else as Cagalli and Stella went to comfort a distraught brunette.
What they saw was a repeat of a scene of a gagged and tied up Lacus, looking teary at the camera as she looked like she was beaten and tortured. Bruises' were evident on her face and arms, with one or two cuts on her also. Then Krane walked into the picture pulling out a knife whilst looking wickedly at the camera. "Such beauty..." he whispered before resting the blade to the pale skinned girl's neck. "Shame that a flower will eventually wither". Then he knife was thrusted in and was slowly guided through the neck cutting the throat to the poor girl. Once pulling out, the camera was zoomed into Lacus' eyes, where the joyful, bright innocent life in her cerulean orbs faded as she choked on blood whilst suffocating in her lungs.
Everyone was wide eyed at the picture, where it started its re-run again.
"Stop the disc!" ordered Athrun where Shinn, instead of just ejecting the disc, he punched it several times in blind pain and anger. His knuckled started to bleed by his repetitive beating on the player. Soon enough the disc player was in pieces, with the disc now firmly in his hands. He clenched his hands aggressively and snapped the thing.
Kira was balling out in tears whilst holding onto his head. "Why? Why did he...do that?" sobbed Kira.
"Kira..."
His twin sister placed her hand on his shoulder and pulled him into an embrace with her own tears coming out.
"It can't be real...it just can't be-"
"You saw it! And if it ain't real then why are you crying?" shouted Rey, shaking violently.
For everyone to hear Rey raise his voice like that suddenly took everyone off guard.
"He's nothing but a cold blooded murderer!"
Athrun eyed Rau, as to see if Rau knew what was on the discs contents. However by Rau's troubling ice blue orbs proved that he had no idea was on it. "Rey calm down. Cagalli could be right, it could be a fake or-"
"Shut up!" screamed Shinn pointing at the blue haired ace. "You don't look that phased by what happened! What the fuck is wrong with you?"
"Shinn! Please calm down" pleaded Stella holding onto his shoulders, all she saw in those ruby eyes were rage.
"How can I be calm Stella? After watching that?" sniffed Shinn, whilst his body was shaking. "She...didn't deserve that..." he muttered crashing into the safety of Stella's shoulder for support, but what he failed to notice that she too was weak by the knees and was crying hard.
"Fuck Krane...he's dead!" screamed Rey running out.
"Rey!"
Luna chased after her boyfriend who was ready near the elevators. As he waited for the lift to arrive he was tackled into the wall. "Get off me Luna!"
"Get a hold of yourself Rey! You going up there alone to die is not going to make anyone any better!"
"Shut the fuck up!" he screamed hysterically, as he pushed her away which she landed hard on the clean floor. He jumped into the lift and quickly pressed the ground floor button.
"REY!"
The young woman jumped back to her feet only to see him just a moment before the doors closed. She gritted her teeth and ran to the stairwell, and sped down. 'I lost our child Rey, and I am not going to lose you also!'
Rey made to the ground floor and stormed towards the exit where he was met by a couple holding a bright blonde little girl, about two in the mother's arms. As he made his approach, he felt a impulse a fellow Newtype nearby, but this was strangely familiar as in, it was related to his own aura. The little blonde girl jolted her head and looked into the ice blue eyes of this blonde man, with her own gentle light blue orbs. She suddenly smiled happily and shouted with joy the name that took Rey by shock. Luna made to see Rey and this little girl look at one another, moving towards them. The little girl spoke again of the name that she said to Rey, where the already tear eyed man, let go a new set of tears. The name also made Luna froze as well as this impulse she got from approaching this girl.
The girl then looked confused at the couple and then smiled brightly again. "Mommy! Daddy!"
Luna slowly dropped to her knees whilst keeping her eyes on the girl. "W-w...what did she say?" 'Am...Am I going insane?'
Rey was too shocked to comprehend what the little girl just said.
The little one then arced her head at an angle and looked confused at the two again. Those same words came out again. "Mommy? Daddy?"
Kira's Room
In the absence of Rey and Luna, everyone remained silent, disturbed and raging on what they saw on that disc. No one was any worse than Kira who looked blankly with tears streaming down his face still. Cagalli tried to comfort him, but it wasn't working, not this quickly, but she tried her best. Athrun came up behind her, holding in his tears still, wrapped his arms around her for her comfort. She smiled slightly but it too didn't help the grief.
"I'll...kill him..." muttered Kira.
Everyone looked at Kira, who's eyes now gave the impression that it could kill with a glare. He stared at Rau with a twisted smile on his lips, along with fresh tears rolling down.
"I will kill him...Krane...will pay...they'll all die by my hands!"
Rau eyed Kira carefully. 'I think I found what the trigger for his plan...Krane was, you sick fucker'.
