DISCLAIMER ~ The following story is one that I read a long long long time ago. The story in question was originally by one Cyberslayer-00 (his current account, which hasn't been updated since 2018, goes by C-Rider) and was deleted during a time when I wasn't active on FanFiction. With help from the internet's WayBack Machine archive (and about 4 hours of sleep I'll never get back) I was able to recover the original text of the deleted story (still unfinished of course) and decided that the narrative itself had too much potential to just keep for myself.

And while alterations have been made, the main narrative is 100% intact. And when I finally get around to where Cyberslayer left off (assuming he never responds to the PM I sent his way) I will no doubt chart my own course from there (unless told otherwise from the guy who threw this story out).

So... without further ado... please read and enjoy (and review please)...

GUNDAM: Convergence

formerly: SEEDs of Innovation

Lagrange 3
AD 2312

Several asteroids drifted around large area, total silence filled outer space, it was only a few of these asteroids contained long range scanners all around as a lone ship flew slowly passed them all toward a massive asteroid. After a while, a large section of the stone slid open, revealing a landing port which then projected a series of beams toward the approaching ship allowing safe projection of its landing. The ship called the Ptolemaios II or Ptolemy moved toward the Celestial Being's Lagrange-3 base.

"Laser sensors have synced with Ptolemy." Mileina Vashti said at her station reading her monitor. Feldt Grace glanced out the bridge's main window seeing Ptolemy approaching the landed port, she looked back at her own terminal. "Ptolemy landing." She said seeing her computer open up a clock, "3...2...1." the entire ship came to a halt at that point. "Connection is complete." She sighed leaning back in her chair.

"Beginning connection of stabilization arm." Feldt said her own monitor flashing its own data, "Now connecting boarding hatch." She finished. Feldt got out of her own seat to stretch while Mileina did the same. "It's a good thing we got here." Feldt smiled turning to leave with Mileina with Sumeragi right behind them. "How long should we be here?" Feldt asked looking behind her.

Sumeragi looked over and shrugged, "Who knows maybe a day, a few days or even a week. I can tell you that we're not leaving until we are fully resupplied and rested to head back." She responded seeing the Meisters and other members of the crew ahead at the exit to the station. "Everyone here?" she asked looking at Feldt, Mileina, Tieria, Lasse, Lockon, Allelujah, Marie, Setsuna and Saji, who all nodded to her. "Good." Right after saying that the airlock slid open to the hanger where they all saw Ian as well as a younger blonde woman next to him while a light violet haired woman stood several feet away watching.

"Mom!" Mileina cheered jumping toward the blonde woman and wrapped her arms around her, "I'm home!"

The woman smiled back to her, "Mileina, have you been well?"

Allelujah blinked several times looking quite curious, "Did she just say mom?" he asked still staring surprised remembering Mileina and Ian's ages.

"Yeah, she did." Setsuna responded before they all stepped forward to the Ian and the woman.

"So that means..." Saji wondered aloud. Ian couldn't help but smile with pride.

"I almost forgot that some of you have never met her. This is my wife." Ian said looking to the blonde woman with glasses.

"Hello, I'm Linda Vashti," she introduced herself.

Saji's eyes widened and his jaw dropped. "Woah, she's so young!"

"This is a crime," Allelujah said with a sarcastic barb.

The glittering new machine caught everyone's attention; its colors matched that of the 00 Gundam with its white and blue coloration and bright orange cockpit. Beside it was another fighter type machine that was white and red with large cannons along the top. "So this is the 0-Raiser?" Setsuna asked eyeing the machine that would help his machine in combat.

Linda nodded looking over, "This machine is equipped with a function that will enable control of the twin drive system. It will also be able to amplify Trans-Am." She added which Setsuna nodded to glancing at the violet girl seated in front of him. Her name was Anew Returner...that kind of name left Setsuna feeling unsettled.

"What about that other machine?" Lockon asked leaning against a nearby wall, "Looks like it can pack a punch." He added seeing its bright green cockpit.

"It's a support fighter for Arios. The GN Archer." Anew answered for Linda looking across from her control console.

Allelujah eyed the machine closely hearing it being described that way, "GN Archer." He repeated to himself.

"Should we start the test Setsuna?" Ian asked looking to the young dark haired man who looked over and nodded.

"Roger." Setsuna responded before he turned to go get his flight suit for the 00. Setsuna exited the room and proceeded down the hallway and was about to pass a door until he bumped into a person. "My apologies." He said looking down to see Feldt.

"I'm sorry." She apologized at the same time looking up at Setsuna. "Oh, Setsuna, have you seen Haro? I thought he went this way." She asked glancing around.

"No, I haven't," Setsuna responded, gingerly maneuvering around Feldt, "I have to go; we're testing the 0-Raiser with 00." Feldt actually starred after him for a short while before looking back to where they were testing the 0-Raiser.

"I suppose that it wouldn't hurt to just take a look at it." Feldt smiled walking to where Ian, Linda, Anew, and Mileina where getting reading to test the two machines. Several minutes passed as Feldt stood quietly behind the others getting ready to test the power of the 00's Trans-Am with the 0-Raiser. Allelujah was in the hanger taking a closer look at the GN Archer seeing it up close to see what it was and he could see it was clearly a transformable unit like the Arios. Lockon was probably out and about the station taking a look around or getting himself something to eat, Feldt figured it was the same for Miss Sumeragi. Tieria on the other hand she heard he was off to go get washed up...didn't seem like such a bad idea Feldt thought she would go do the same after the test was over with.

"Who would've thought there'd be a base in Lagrange 3," Marie Parfacy wondered aloud. Looking over the Ptolemy from it's hangar's observation deck, she opened her mind a bit and felt a mild sort-of twinge over her shoulder. She turned and saw that Saji Crossroad boy leaning against the wall. She slowly floated over.

"Is something the matter?" Saji glance up at her briefly before lowering his gaze.

"I don't know what I should do. Because of something I did, a lot of people lost their lives. Somehow, I have to make up for that. But to fight, or to kill people... I couldn't possibly..." Wow, aside from the Colonel, she had never met someone so earnest.

"It's only natural that you can't do it."

"But... I have to do something. There must be something I can do." Perhaps a bit too earnest. "May I ask you something?"

"What about?"

"Do you plan to stay with them from now on?"

"Yes, as long as Allelujah is here."

"Even if it means fighting?"

"I used to be a soldier, so I've made peace with that possibility. Besides, I've made my decision: whatever happens, I will never leave Allelujah again." She felt his brainwaves shift before he spoke, a more... warmer change.

"How I envy you. There's someone I have feelings for too. If I were to meet her again, I probably wouldn't leave her side either. But..."

"But?"

"I am worried; I am really worried."

Setsuna remained seated in the 00's cockpit as it began to be pulled back toward the 0-Raiser which had itself ready to attach to the 00. With a loud click and thud the two machines were connected and stood by to be activated. "0-Raiser has been linked with 00." Mileina said at her own console looking up the two machines.

"All connectors are green." Linda said working on her console to allow for all the output data to be transferred to Anew's own console as she was taking care of the data.

"Okay, Setsuna time to test the 0-Raiser's control system. Get ready to start the Trans-Am." Ian said leaning forward in his chair seeing the lights in the hanger dim slightly and Anew's console registered a clock.

"Time remaining until Trans-Am commences." She started looking to her screen; Feldt continued to look at the 00. "8, 7..." Setsuna tightened his grip on his controls getting ready for the start of the Trans-Am. "6, 5, 4, 3..." Anew counted as Feldt crossed her fingers. "2, 1." She finished looking back up just before Ian shot his chair forward.

"Setsuna!" he called giving him the signal.

"Roger." Setsuna responded on the other end of the line, "Activating Trans-Am." Setsuna's terminal in front of him turned into the normal purple screen for Trans-Am just as a loud hum was heard through the hanger and 00 turned bright red and gave off a bright light which at first Feldt had to look away from until the viewing window auto tinted to darken the glow to let them watch as the 00 gave off thousands of particles.

"Topographical defect is moving to a high transition state." Mileina said out loud her screen reading different data from 00's systems.

"The amount of particles produced and output is increasing at the same time." Linda said looking at her readings.

"We're above 180% of normal output and rising." Anew said seeing the numbers quickly rising with each passing second that 00 remained in Trans-Am with the 0-Raiser. "230...260!" she ready still slightly surprised by the numbers. "We've exceeded 290%!" she said surprised by the results which were enough to get to stand to look over.

"What?" Ian yelled looking over. Feldt seemed to be the only one to notice but she saw that the entire room seemed to be filled with GN particles.

"It's exceeding theoretical boundary." Anew responded still the numbers increasing slowly.

Setsuna's eyes widened as the glow got even brighter "Is this its true potential?" Setsuna asked out loud. It wasn't a moment after when Setsuna felt a strange sensation; he looked at his right hand and could see as he moved it gave off afterimages. "What's going on?" Setsuna now thought just before he saw everything around him start to grow quiet and dark.

Marie then sensed a sort of... twanging? sensation... she winced, putting a hand to her head.

"Are you alright?" Saji asked.

"Uh... yeah, I just sensed something stran-gheh!" Now the sensation morphed into what could be best described as an overwhelming rush of water followed by... nothing? -then overwhelmed with not one, but two different waves of thoughts that collided within her mind's eye. "What the- oh...?" She swayed.

"Woah, woah," Saji instinctively stepped forward and grabbed her by the arms as she stumbled in the near-zero-g room. "Easy, are you okay?" Stupid question.

"Ow! I don't know what... what is...?"

"Setsuna are you alright in there?" Ian's voice now entered the cockpit but Setsuna didn't respond as he began to slowly close his eyes, "Can you hear us Setsuna?" Ian asked again. Setsuna opened his eyes back up until he felt a strong cold sensation which seemed to cut through his skull.

At that moment Anew shook her head feeling light headed herself having to turn her chair away, "I don't feel so well." She said trying to get her vision clear as it would get fuzzy every few seconds. Anew tried to stand but almost fell to be caught by Lockon.

"Hold on I'll take you to sick bay." Lockon smiled helping her up and started helping her out of the room with Anew still having a hard time keeping her head up.

"I feel...a presence..." Setsuna grunted slowly losing conciseness in 00. Setsuna finally blacked out as Ian and Linda shut down the 00 from their position. The moment that 00's Trans-Am stopped Lagrange-3 slowly had its particle cloud disappear leaving it hovering in space with nothing around it except debris from a foreign battle not too long ago.

Ian looked over to Feldt who looked just as confused as the rest of them, "Well go on and go help Setsuna we need to shut all of this down." Ian said until a monitor on a nearby wall flashing got his attention, "Hold on a sec." He said walking to it just as Feldt dashed out of the room to investigate what was happening with Setsuna. Feldt entered the hanger looking up at the 00 as it began to be moved away from the 0-Raiser.

Feldt let herself drift upward to the 00 and climbed along it till she was at the opening to the cockpit which she opened. Setsuna had his head hung down with his hands still on the controls, "Setsuna are you alright?" Feldt asked shaking his shoulder but no response came from him.

"Feldt" Ian's voice echoed in the hanger through an intercom, "We need you and Setsuna out of there right now." He said, "We called for a medic to come for Setsuna but for now we need you here. We have no idea what happened-" the comm cut off just before Feldt heard a door open and saw a crew member of the station float over with someone else with them.

"Excuse us ma'am." He said as Feldt moved to let him pass and grab onto Setsuna where he and his friend took Setsuna and took him in their arms and glided off in the zero gravity to the door they had entered through to take him to a medical bay.

"Please, be careful with him!" Feldt called back over which one of them gave her the thumbs up to. Once they left, Feldt kicked away from 00 back to where she had entered from. Moving through the halls, Feldt noticed several members of the station were scattered around talking and seemed to be one step away from panicking. What's going on here? Feldt thought quietly kicking around the corner. Once Feldt reached the observation room she was surprised to find Sumeragi with Ian who were both looking at a 3D map of the area around the station, a few feet away from Feldt was Mileina who remained silent but smiled to Feldt who returned with a nod.

"This is an odd situation to say the least," Sumeragi said, looking closely at the hologram while it made a panning motion across their area. "It seems the station is no longer in its original position...at all." She said as a damaged ship appeared on the hologram and was projected in front of her showing a large white ship that didn't look like anything she had seen before. "An unidentifiable ship, an unknown location, and to top it off we have zero communications with any of the other stations." She said seeing the hologram fade.

Mileina raised her hand like an excited student, "Does that mean that we teleported?" she asked.

"Hold on, Mileina we have no proof of such a thing happening." Ian sighed at his daughter's suggestion, "This isn't a sci-fi movie." Ian looked back to Sumeragi who kept her eyes on the map. "You agree with me don't you?" Just then a door opened and Marie entered, being supported by Allelujah and Saji on either side.

"Does anyone here know what happened?" Marie asked weakly trying to stay on her own feet which was easier said than done.

"Marie maybe you should lay down or something." Allelujah suggested.

Marie shook her head slowly letting herself out of his grip to stand straight, "I'm fine just need to stay mobile." She said smiling but gasped slightly almost falling again.

"You and Tieria should both be resting." Allelujah said in protest, feeling himself starting to feel weaker.

"What's wrong with Tieria?" Sumeragi asked looking to the two, "When did this condition start for you both and Tieria?" she asked thinking. "This is odd that no one here but those two and Tieria were affected."

"Actually Anew started feeling weak herself." Ian interrupted, "She's down in sick bay with Lockon right now and is trying to get some rest."

"Marie do you think that..." Allelujah trailed off, starting to doubt what he had started to say.

"Quantum brainwaves?" Marie finished, "it could be possible. But that woman, Anew...who is she?" Marie asked looking to Ian. "She was scouted by a person named Wang Liu Mei was she not?"

"That is what happened." Ian responded, "but how could she have that? She has no history of anything that could have anything to do with it, it could have been from being close range of the 00 when it Trans-Am'd." Ian said but stopped to think about that. "Well then chances are that more of us would have been affected by it...maybe her blood type has to do with it." Ian shrugged.

"What do you mean by quantum brainwaves?" Saji asked.

"Basically," Allelujah began to explain, "some people have developed the ability to sense other peoples' thoughts."

"Wait, you mean, like mind-reading?"

"Kind of, but not exactly. Marie can explain when she's feeling better."

"That doesn't matter at this point." Tieria interrupted staggering into the room, "I have been informed that long range scanners have picked up unknown heat sources." Tieria said standing beside Feldt. "I'm going to take Seravee to investigate," he said, looking to Sumeragi. "With your permission of course." Sumeragi stared at the star map in front of her thinking, but then nodded her head. Tieria turned to exit the room almost hitting the door frame on the way out but catching himself.

"Tieria, if there are any problems you get back here as soon possible." Sumeragi called to him as he left the room. "Feldt" Sumeragi said looking over to the pink haired girl who straightened her stance, "Go and find Lockon and have him launch as well. Tell him to be careful, we have no idea what is out there." Ian went off on his own with Mileina right behind him. Sumeragi began walking away until Feldt spoke up, "What is Setsuna's condition ma'am?" she asked concerned remembering the young man passed out in the middle of the test of the 00's Trans-Am. "He was taken to medical but is he alright or is he in any danger?" Sumeragi looked over seeing the concerned expression on Feldt's face.

"Setsuna is fine he is only tired. I have made it an order for our personel to keep him in bed until we are sure that he is healed and able to move around." Sumeragi responded before exiting leaving Feldt smiling happily hearing the news before she left to find Lockon.

Later

"All systems green and ready for launch." One Celestial Being member said over a comm. while Seravee and Cherudim were both being setup on their launch catapults. "Seravee launch in 1 minute." A voice echoed in the hanger as one of the hatches of the base opened allowing for the suits to exit.

"How is that woman?" Tieria asked running his last few checks on his machine while a small timer remained in the top right corner of his helmets visor. "She didn't feel well is what I had heard."

Lockon leaned back, "She'll be alright, just tired and all that. So you have any idea what happened earlier?" Lockon asked seeing Tieria had less than thirty seconds till launch.

"I have no idea; I wasn't around 00's Trans-Am test." Tieria answered as he tightened his controls just before his clock ran to zero. "Seravee, Tieria Erde...Launching!" Tieria shouted as Seravee burst forward toward where there was a bright sparkle of light ahead. "I'll see what's going on; you stay here for now until I'm sure I need help." Tieria said while he continued ahead seeing the sparkle turning into a shape. "Looks like some kind of craft. I'm going to get a closer look at it." Tieria said over comm. setting Seravee's GN field on standby just in case. Once Seravee took position behind some debris, it was clear that it was a large carrier style ship that could carry several mobile suits, the ship had large fins in the back half by the engines with a command bridge spouted upward, and there was a large blade along the bottom of the ship. The entire ship was white with small areas being red and blue, darker shades of grey were there too. "I'm going to try to make contact now."

"Be careful Tieria we have no idea what could be onboard that ship or even what you see is really what it seems to be." Sumeragi's voice cut into his own helmets headset with a small amount of static buzzing in his ear.

Tieria was about to have his suit take off when his radar flashed three targets coming from his far right, "There's something else out here." Tieria said looking around not seeing anything. "No sign of movement yet, I'll adjust radar parameters to get a better read." Seravee's radar perimeter shrunk slowly until the borders of it were level with the blinks. "It appears that they are several seconds away, twenty at the most... wait four, one is bigger than the other three it must be one ship and three mobile suits or mobile armors."

"I'll launch right now." Lockon said his suit getting lowered to his own launcher, "I'll be there in a few minutes just hang on." Lockon said with his launch timer beginning.

"Roger that." Tieria responded clicking off his comm. while he moved forward out of the debris to get a better look at the scenario and he then saw the large curves on the white carrier open like hangers. "I can see activity from the unknown vessel; it seems that they may be launching their own combat equipment." Tieria said moving forward again the blips on his radar getting closer. "Unknowns arrival in twenty seconds." Tieria said Seravee looking forward with its GN bazookas ready. While still watching the ship Tieria saw a fast orange fighter exit one of the hangers and take off to circle around and take off toward the direction of the other unknowns. "Looks like they are aware of each other, in fact it looks like an armed conflict might..." Tieria froze his voice watching in both surprise and shock seeing the second hanger launch something else. The white mobile suit exited with a shield to its left arm and a rifle in its right it was equipped with a type of propulsion system that Tieria had never seen before. "It's...a Gundam." Tieria's eyes widened at the sight.

"Cherudim, Lockon Stratos...Targeted and firing!" Lockon called with his Gundam taking off.

Seravee backed away as two large green beams were fired at the carrier.

"Green?" Tieria questioned looking back down at a large green ship that had three units flying from it toward the armor and the Gundam; they were Gundams as well from their design. "More of them?" Tieria questioned again looked at the white ship fire back at its enemy Gundams. "Sumeragi Lee Noriega I have confirmed enemy units and they all seem to be like Gundams." There was silence on the comm. for a while Tieria only heard the sound of his Gundams GN drive running. After the long delay he saw several shots of combat by the white ship as the lone white Gundam and orange mobile armor both were fighting off the three enemies and their own ship. Tieria manipulated his controls to have Seravee raise its GN bazookas toward the white ship. "Seravee attacking carrier-"

"Don't even think about it Tieria!" Sumeragi said sternly through the headset which made her sound right next to him scaring Tieria, "We have no idea what the situation is here, we don't know what the purpose of this conflict is!" Tieria sighed taking his fingers off his fire controls.

"Roger that." He sighed looking ahead- "Whoa!"

[Invoke - TM Revolution]

Seravee's GN field activating to be struck by a missile which knocked him back several yards, "Someone just fired at me, I didn't see who but they..." Tieria trailed off seeing a shimmer of movement ahead of him. "Cloaked target!" he asked out loud ready to fire his bazookas but remembered Sumeragi's orders. "Damn." He grunted as Seravee backed away quickly to evade a green beam that appeared out of thin air.

The cloaked machine's pilot kept up his speed circling the Seravee trying to get behind it, "What's with that shield?" the pilot asked himself before he tried firing again to continue to back away the enemy. "Yzak, Dearka, I found some other target and it isn't friendly whatever it is." The pilot said over his own comm. to the other two units fighting. One of the other units was blue and white and was in hard combat against the white ship's Gundam while the other was fighting the orange fighter. The second had a light brown armor with its torso primarily green with spots of red along it and the rest of its body and carried a large pair of rifles while it continued to fire at the fighter.

"Where?" the pilot of the twin rifle one asked looking toward the cloaked unit, "Watch yourself Nicol, is it a EA unit?" the pilot asked avoiding the fighters own shots.

"I have no idea but his unit is pretty fast and it looks a lot like it was built with these models." Nicol answered firing another missile after Seravee who dove under a large chunk of debris and out of sight. "Where did he go?"

"What the hell was that unit?" Tieria asked out loud looking over his shoulder to see if there was any sight of it but due to it attacking him cloaked he wasn't going to let his guard down for a moment. "This is Tieria I'm heading back to base. I just encountered an unknown unit with cloaking capabilities." Tieria sighed seeing Cherudim approaching him.

"Hey Tieria you seem kinda spooked did something happen back there?" Lockon asked as his Gundam stopped close by in front of Tieria's. "What was out there anyway?" Lockon asked but Tieria passed him quickly heading back to the base, "That bad huh?" Lockon asked following behind. "Pity I didn't see it."

"Dammit, why won't you just die!" Dearka shouted angered firing at Mu's Zero fighter which evaded his shots and returned with its own by firing off its Gunbarrel pods. Dearka dodged several shots some of which that grazed his mobile suit's armor which just pissed him off more, "Give me a break!" he shouted firing again but cursed under his breath as he missed again.

Nicol moved his Blitz closer to the Archangel dodging several shots fired until he was close enough to land on the side and in a blind spot and started firing along the side of the ship near the base of the bridges tower.

The Strike backed away from Duel which almost laid a hit on it, Kira was focused on the enemy in front of him blocking every attack and trying to get a hit on the Duel but it was too close and neither could hit the other. "Kira!" a voice of his friend Miriallia interrupted his thoughts, "The enemy is beside the bridge, hurry and get back here!" Mir called through his video monitor to his top right. Kira moved the Strike to turn to see his enhanced sensors to see an image of explosions on the ship.

"No! The Archangel!" Kira gasped thinking how stupid he was forgetting that there were three enemies out there attacking them. Kira looked thinking back to Flay's father's ship being destroyed and images and voices from not too long ago. A mere second later Kira visualized a seed floating in front of him before it exploded into thousands of sparkles of light. The next thing that happened was Kira's became dilated, "I won't let you destroy the archangel!" Kira shouted in his mind turning to face the charging Duel. Once the Duel's beam saber came down it was already too late, the Strike had dodged it at the last second and was right behind it.

"What!" Yzak shouted just before sparks flew from the Strike's beam saber striking it in its thigh. Yzak growled glaring to the now retreating Strike, "How about this!" Yzak shouted firing several shots from his beam rifle only for every shot to be dodged by the Strike. "He dodged them?" Yzak asked himself in surprise seeing the sudden speed and maneuverability that the machine possessed.

Nicol meanwhile was still firing at the ship; the Blitz took a step back from an explosion. Almost there, he thought until a shape was caught in the corner of his eye. At the last second Nicol dodged the Strike's beam sabers slash but suddenly it recovered and dashed to the Blitz and kicked it in the torso.

Duel appeared moving in on the Strike from the back with its beam saber ready, "I have you now!" Yzak shouted swinging but within an instant the Strike drew its dagger from its hipline and turned to dodge the saber and impale the Duel in the same place as before. In the cockpit Yzak grunted as his control console sparked and smoked until a sudden explosion happened and shattered metal and glass sprayed all over him cutting into his suit and through his helmet's visor.

Blitz appeared by Duel's side to pull it away from Strike, "Yzak are you alright in there?" Nicol asked over his comm, but got no response. "Dearka we have to go back! Yzak is injured!" Nicol called looking to the fighting Buster which looked over after taking another couple of shots at Mu.

"I hear you; this is hopeless in our current condition." Dearka growled dodging a small barrage of fire before he and the Blitz and the damaged Duel retreated from the Archangel and Strike as their transport did the same.

Kira was left panting heavily after such sudden combat.

"They're gone!" Mu's voice emitted into the cockpit, "You were terrific kid. Hell, you were incredible."

Kira sighed, "Not really."

Celestial Being outpost

Setsuna lay still in his bed with his flight suit opened but covered by his blankets, Feldt sat a few feet away as the doctor looked over Setsuna and looked at his heart beats and so on. "Is Setsuna going to be alright?" Feldt asked.

"He should be, he just needs rest."

Feldt sighed with relief, "That's good news."

"Yes it is. It is very odd though with our current situation. I heard an announcement earlier about how we're in a different location and such." The older man said stroking his beard and fixing his glasses, "Setsuna will be fine though as long as he gets some rest. Same with Miss Returner." The older man exited the room quickly, "That reminds me that I should check on Allelujah and Marie." He said as the door automatically opened for him then closed behind him.

Feldt looked back to Setsuna who breathed slowly, but she frowned at the sight of sweat covering his forehead, Feldt looked over seeing a bowl of water and decided to go ahead and take the wet cloth and stood up over Setsuna and gently swept it across his forehead before she placed it back in the bowl. I hope we can figure out what's going on, Feldt thought to herself as she got comfortable in her seat and leaned back and closed her eyes and in a few seconds she was asleep. Hours passed while Feldt remained asleep next to Setsuna who as well was asleep. After most of the crew had all gone to bed after trying to figure out what was happening, Setsuna began to stir and finally opened his eyes. He could feel a bit of weight on his stomach so he waited for his eyes to adjust to the dark and he looked down to see Feldt resting her head on his stomach sleeping softly.

Setsuna stared at her curious and slowly moved his hand to her head and stopped right before he touched it hearing her breathing get louder; after her breathing got quieter he finally moved his hand to touch her head and slowly rubbed her head. "Things have been loud," Setsuna thought aloud, "at least until now they have." He thought back to all the voices he had been hearing while he was unconscious. "Things are quiet with you around...how odd." He turned his head to the side, seeing a small smile appear on Feldt's face. Setsuna moved his hand away and tucked it under his covers and he snuggled his head into his pillow and fell asleep just as fast as Feldt had.
