Zeon Barracks: Daphen's room.

" Oh Yui," Daphen said as he slowly walked over to the mantle of the fireplace grabbing a picture of him and his love.

" Oh Yui. Why did you leave me? I loved you so, much. Rei misses you as well," Daphen said to the picture.

" What am I doing? Sulking around like this. My loyalty is not to her, now. She's dead. My loyalty is to Zeon and it's cause," Daphen realized this wasn't the way he acted. He shed a single tear on the glass of the picture as he threw it into the fire.

To understand what this you must understand the beginning...

Earth: Yamai residence. 11 years ago. It was that night I heard my parents yelling at my brother through the wall. My father was a Federation pilot and my mother was a Federation nurse.

" What aren't you doing?" asked my mother.

" I'm not studying and doing my homework," replied my brother

" Why aren't you doing your work? " asked my father.

" I'm lazy. I have enough credits to graduate," said my brother.

" Well get your ass in gear! Move it the way your going you'll not get your last credit! " Exploded my father.

I walked out into the living room. I hated when they fighted like this. I walked outside and clenched my fist. My father was yelling at me to get back in my room. I hated him so much. I ran with my fist and punched my father in the face. He laughed and kicked me in the stomach. I fell to the ground and crawled for the door. I had to leave; I needed to get away. I sat up against the door as I heard from the living room screams and yells of pain. Two shots rang out and my mother and brother were dead. I frantically tried to open the door but it was too late. My father had shot me in the back with a shotgun. My body hits the ground and I tried to crawl away. I lay there on the floor and I felt my blood leaving me. My father ran out of the house and was never found again. All I remember before I blacked out, to what I hoped death, was a man in a suit came and picked me up. I was rushed to the hospital to be healed. I remembered hearing that he was new or something. I woke up and found my self-alive. The doctor was called in to tell me that I was the only survivor and that my father killed himself. The doctor and nurse left and shut off the lights. I sat there and wanted to kill my father. I vowed revenge against the Federation. I had to kill them all, they had to die...

I was transferred to critical care for imbalances in my brain. A man walked in with a green uniform on. He was Zeon. He took me in. My new identity was Dahpen Kolaki (koe lucky) a 7-year-old boy from Earth. I was raised on the colony of Side 12, a Zeon controlled colony. He told me I was a newtype. I didn't understand what that was in the beginning. But what I didn't know was this man had a motive. When he was new to the colony he had been saved by a family and he told them he would give them his male son. I was it... I was reluctant at first I hated the idea. But I didn't have a choice. My stepfather died in the heat of battle and I had no place to go. But the prestigious family that had saved my father took me in. I went to the same school as their daughter, Yui. It was like this for years. When I was in the 8 grade Zeon soldiers came and took me to the Zeon pilot's camp. I loved the camp and this was my chance to get back at my father. For all eternity. He will pay.

2 years ago: Pilot training school.

I was sixteen and in the Zeon camp for pilots. There was another person like me there. Her name was Rei, Rei Ugani. She was like me 15 and as good as me. She reminded me of Yui. I attended the after school for Zeon pilots. I learned all about the heat of battle. Yui and I sent letters to each other and she told me about her life. I told her about the barracks and Rei. She got sort of jealous for about a week or so. She said she didn't care. She loved me enough to trust me. I didn't know the meaning of "love". Rei and I made a truce on the balcony under the moon. She was reluctant to tell me she knew Yui. She had asked me about Yui and I told Rei about her. I was leaning against the rail and Rei put her hand on my shoulder. I told her about Yui and she sounded like she knew. Rei was crying. I walked up to her and held her against my chest. She hit me and cried. She told me about how she was abused when a child. She wrapped her hands around my neck and we kissed under the moonlight. I never told Yui about this. Rei and I graduated at the top of our class. I was told I was too young to join. I had nothing to live for... except Yui.

1 year ago: Side 12

I had joined the Zeon, and finally had my first few months of leave. About two months, actually. This is when something that my un-spoken personality needed. Somebody to love. Since I have lived with her I had strong feelings for her. We started to what you can call "dating". I finally realized that I loved her and her only. We finally went on a date. I was going to take her to the needle of the colony to watch the stars. I was waiting at a bridge across the stream on the family's property. She was dressed up in Chinese attire and looked so beautiful. I was dressed up in the Zeon Officer's uniform. I had attained the rank of Lieutenant. We walked to the elevator to the end of the needle. We finally got there and I couldn't help my self. I put my arm around her as she turned to me. She wrapped her arms around me and put her head on my chest. This was a familiar scene. She cried about how she'll miss me when I leave to fight the Federation. I held her close and kissed her a long as I could. It was this place... Our special place we would go if we were troubled. I came to her school and told her I had fun last night. She looked at me like I was crazy.

4 months ago: Side 12

I had been giving my first mobile team to command. It was two new recruits and their Zaku. I was told our squad the Twelfth Team Special Forces: The Blue Nightmare was going to go to the front lines I had two days to spend with Yui. We had decided to get married after the I came back to the colony. We went on our last date. This time I had rented the space colony's observatory. I had little money left but I didn't care. With the money I had left I bought her a jeweled rose. It had ruby for the petals. Had emerald for the bud and the stem. She was wearing the same dress she had on when we went on our first date. She told me that the colony was going closer to the earth to be taken over so the Federation will establish a base. The Zeon would come and take the colony back. I kissed her on the lips and she was dumbfounded. I slipped the rose into her pocket and told her to open it in when I leave. She un-buttoned two of the buttons and slid down the top of her dress. I didn't know why. The dress was barely above her breasts as she removed her necklace with a crystal on the end. She gave it to me and re-buttoned her dress. I put the pendant into my pocket. She walked to the other side of the room. I followed her and asked her what was going on. She just turned around and pinned me on the glass window. She said, "I'll never let you die" and kissed me. I remembered the first we got this close before we were dating. I was walking down the street and she ran into me knocking me on the ground and her on top. We kissed until my radio went off.

" Lieutenant Kolaki return to the ship dock. Lieutenant are you there? " Said the person on the radio.

I dropped it on the ground and let it relay the message.

1 week ago: Zeon controlled space.

This was a major battle for the Zeon. If we would win, the Zeon would have this war in our hands. Now was my chance to defeat the Federation and avenge my life. My Kaempfer, nicked named the Black Rune, would help me do it. I would crush the Federation. The scene was set the colony and warships in the background and thousands of mobile suits in the front. It was time for WAR!

The Federation was closing in on the Zeon. You could see the Federation warship the White Base. My hand was getting edgy and was so close to destroy a GM. A new looking GM came up to the front and called me over the radio.

" Zeon mobile suit of Kaempfer type. Listen to me. Give up now and we won't hurt you. " The pilot said over the radio.

" Command your decision?" I asked the command.

" Command here. Toy with him and attack at your discretion. When you attack him all troops will break formation and fire at will," said the Command.

" Ok command. Roger, " I told the command. " Federation mobile suit," I said to the federation suit.

" Have you decided to give up?" asked the pilot of the suit.

" Hah. And let you kill us anyway? I'll die first!" I exclaimed.

" Listen, don't do this. Just give up!" said the pilot.

" No now give up or die!" I said as my impotence grew.

" Daphen, listen to me. Give up," said the pilot.

" Who are you? No wait. Your my Father!" I yelled at him.

" Yes I am. I killed your mother and your brother. I was trying to kill you and you were saved. Damn it why couldn't you die. DIE!" he yelled at me.

" All units. ATTACK!" I yelled over the radio.

The units flew forward and engaged in a battle of all battles. My father and I stood there and we stared each other down. I couldn't bring my self to killing my father even though it was flowing I my veins. I had to. No. I needed to.

" Now father you'll see why they call me, the Black Rune!" I yelled as the thrusters turned on and a ran at my father's mobile suit.

" Bring it on! I'll kill you now instead of as a helpless child. DIE DIE DIE!" He yelled.

I flew at him with my beam saber out and turned o it's highest setting. We blocked it and slashed down at me with his beam sword. I felt it coming and cut the saber in half. He boosted up and shot at me with a beam spray gun. I grabbed my shotgun and shot at him with all of the bullets. I hit him in the shield tons of times. I took out my chain bomb and threw it at him. He threw his shield and the bombs blew it up. He grabbed my suits arms and we flew endlessly through space.

" Hah! Is that the best you can do? I'm a newtype as well. Where did you think you got it from?" He asked to me.

" My mother. The only person to care!" I replied.

" That stupid bitch! No way!" He exclaimed at me.

" Don't you call her a bitch!" I screamed at him.

I broke free from the hold and my teammates grabbed him and detained him. They told me to go ahead and kill him while they kept him down.

" So you cant kill me yourself? Have to have someone do it for you?" he taunted me.

" You bastard," I said quietly as I shed a tear or two. I ripped open his mobile suit and grabbed him.

" What are you doing? Stop that! You wouldn't kill your father would you?" he pleaded.

" Just watch me!" I yelled at him.

" Wait. If you kill me your colony goes down and her with it. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. You loose.... Ahhhhhh!" he said as I squeezed him into pieces with my mobile suits hand.

I looked up and saw that it was pulled in by Earth's gravity. It was falling down and there was nothing I could do. I set my boosters to the max and I flew to the colony's observatory. I grabbed the ceiling as opened the cockpit as I stood their watching my love fall to her death. She walked up to the glass where I was and muttered something like "I love you". I stood in the cockpit until it was to late and I had to pull out. I grabbed the necklace she gave me and started to cry as the colony became too small to see. The next thing I saw was a big explosion. I stood their motionless through the battle. I was awarded a field promotion for courage in combat. I had no courage. I let the only one who cared, slip through my hands and die. The recovery teams got me and brought me back to the ship where I sat. On the hanger deck. Rei was there and she sat down with me. We talked until the next morning...
