A Song For You
After the war at Orb, Archangel and Kusanagi have arrived in outer space. Kira and Athrun changed their as soon as they gets off their MS at Kusanagi. They went to Cagalli's room. When they reach there, Kira click on the button of the speaker.
Kira: Cagalli, are you in there? I'm coming in.
Kira and Athrun went in and saw Cagalli sitting on her bed. Her eyes were red as she had been crying for so long. Kira went towards her.
Kira: Cagalli...
Cagalli looks at him as tears starts to form in her eyes again. She press herself against Kira's chest and cries. Kira pats her head and Athrun feels sad for her. A while later, Cagalli have a wash-up and changes her clothe and the three of them went to the bridge for a meeting. They were talking about the things in ZAFT, and Athrun gave some suggestions. Flaga then look at him.
Flaga: Yes, but...are you really okay? It's not only you...of course. That friend of yours as well.
Ramius: Major...
Flaga: I saw the fight in Orb as well. That, and our situation is like this... It's not like I'm going to argue about what uniform people are wearing, but...Based on the different situations...we could even exchange fire with ZAFT. It's different from the situation we had at Orb.
Athrun: ......
Flaga: Are you prepared for all that? Patrick Zala is your father, right?!
Cagalli: It doesn't matter who son he is! Athrun is...!
Flaga: The fact that a soldier is taking off his uniform creates a great dilemma than you think! On top of that, if your father is the highest ranking position...War cannot be fought if you don't believe in the relationship and objectives of your own forces! Otherwise, you'd have to split opinion within the ranks. You think it can be done so simply?! Unlike Kira, he's actually a formal soldier of ZAFT! I'm sorry for saying all this, but...if you'll to fight along with us, we'll fight along with you. Is that okay? Answer me!
Athrun: In Orb...no, even in PLANT and on Earth...I've had a lot of dilemma based on what I saw and heard! Not knowing if that is the answer... Not knowing what I have just discovered...Even now, I'm not really sure of anything. It's just that...the world I hope for is the same as the one you people hope for...That's how I think now!
Flaga looks at him for a while, then he smiles at him.
Flaga: That sounded really good. He's completely different from Kira.
Kira: He always been like that.
Flaga: The last wishes left to us by Orb are...grand.
Ramius: Yes.
Flaga: Honestly speaking, it was impossible to accomplish it with just two battleships.
Ramius: Right.
Flaga: But is it still okay?
Athrun look up and saw that Cagalli blush and look away, he was confused by her reaction.
Kira: Let's believe in it. A strong flame doesn't burn out, no matter how small it is, right?
Athrun: There's a person in PLANT who thinks the same way. Kira, you should know who it was.
Kira look towards him and Athrun smiles back.
Kira: Lacus...
Song 15: Eternal
Flaga: That pink-haired princess?
Athrun: Ah...She's currently a fugitive now...The last time I saw her she was escaping from the soldiers who tries to kill her.
Kira: Is she alright?!
Athrun: She's fine, Kira. Her baby too.
Ramius: Baby?
Kira: It's nothing. I just hope that she's alright.
Athrun: Don't need to be so worry, she's a strong woman.
Kira: Hm...
After the meeting, Kira went to check on the MS, Athrun waits for him in one of viewing room. He thought about what Uzumi have said about his father.
Kira: Athrun! It looks like everything is done over here, let's go back to Archangel. It doesn't matter where we are, but they have more than enough M1's here, so...Athrun?
Athrun: Ah...
It was then Cagalli came in.
Cagalli: Kira! Do you...have a second?
Kira: ?
Athrun feeling like they wanted to be alone.
Athrun: Ah, I'll...
Seeing that he was about to went off, Cagalli holds his arm.
Cagalli: Wait! It's okay, don't go! No, please stay here.
She floats towards Kira.
Kira: What is it, Cagalli?
She took out the photo which Uzumi had given to her, she gives it to Kira and he took it.
Kira: A photo? Of who?
Cagalli: Look at the back...
Kira did as she told and Athrun was beside him. They were shocked when they saw Kira and Cagalli's names on it.
Kira: Ca..galli?
Cagalli: I got it from my father when Kusanagi was launching. He said, "You're not alone. You have a brother!"
Both of them were shock when they heard it. Cagalli starts to feel tears appearing again, she grabs Athrun's arm and lean against him. Kira was still looking at the photo, feeling shock at the sudden news.
Cagalli: What's going on?
Kira: I...I don't...No way...
Athrun: Twins?
The room was silence for a while, when Kira starts to talk.
Kira: Either way...but...I'm not exactly sure about this.
Athrun: Who is this person holding the babies?
Cagalli answered by shaking her head.
Cagalli: I can't believe that we're brothers and sisters...Then I'm...
Both of them look worried for her, Kira tries to cheer her up.
Kira: You won't get the answer if you worry about it right now, Cagalli. And even if it's true, your father is Uzumi-san.
Cagalli: Kira...
After a while, Kira and Athrun went back to their MS. Kira look at Cagalli at his viewer screen. Then Athrun's voice came in.
Athrun: Kira.
Kira: Eh?
Athrun: Wouldn't it be better if we follow her?
Kira: No. I think she'll only be stressed out if I'm around.
Athrun: I see...
When they were returning back to Archangel, Athrun pats Kira's shoulder.
Athrun: Kira. I would like to borrow a shuttle after we have returned to Archangel.
Kira: Athrun?
Athrun: For now, I'm going to return to PLANT.
Kira: !!
Athrun: I want to talk sincerely with my father. Definitely...
Kira: Athrun, but...!
Athrun: I know! But, he's my father!
Kira: Okay. I'll ask Murrue-san for you.
Athrun: I'm sorry.
After they talk with Ramius, she agrees. When Athrun was about to in the shuttle, Cagalli came and ask him why he wants to go back. He just apologizes. Kira came and tell Cagalli that he will be alright and she lets him go. As Freedom and the shuttle were about to arrive at the ZAFT's territory, Athrun tells Kira to go back.
Kira: Alright. I'll be on standby around here.
Athrun: No. Go back.
Kira: ...Athrun.
Athrun: ?
Kira: You can't die yet. You know that, right?
Athrun: Kira...
Kira: Me, you...We can't die yet. For the ones we love and wanted to protect, we can't afford to die now.
Athrun: Not yet...
Kira: Yeah. Not yet...
Athrun: I understand.
Kira: Don't forget.
After Athrun had entered ZAFT, he was taken straight away to Patrick.
Patrick: What's going on?! What happened?! Where's Justice and Freedom?!
Athrun: Father...what do you think about this war?
Patrick: What did you said?!
Athrun: How long must we fight like this?
Patrick: What are you saying?! Furthermore, what did you do with the mission that was ordered?! Report!!
Athrun: I...I came back, somehow, in order to ask you this seriously.
Patrick: Athrun...! Why you...!
Both of them continue arguing until Patrick took out a gun and call the security. The soldiers came in and aim at Athrun, Patrick ask him where's Freedom and Justice again. He refuse to say it as he charge towards Patrick but get a shot on his shoulder. Patrick orders the soldier to take him away and lock him up in the prison. When they reached the van, Athrun knocks out the two soldiers besides him and run towards a corner to hide. One of the soldier too follow him, it was the guy who was at the concert hall with Lacus. He's name was Da Costa told Athrun that he had messed up their whole plan but they successfully run away.
On the other hand, under the military base, was a space battleship. In the ship was Bartfeldt, who happens to survive the previous battle he had with Kira, but loses a left arm and a scar across his left eye. He picks up the receiver on his side.
Bartfeldt: The ship will start its final preparations. Got it? The ship will start its final preparations. Start working!
The people from the Clyne Faction chase the entire formal crew member of the space ship away. Athrun and DaCosta were in a shuttle flying towards the outer space. Back to the ship, while Bartfeldt was waiting, the door open and the leader have arrived.
Lacus: Sorry for being late.
She wears a purple kimono, (the skirt was short, not long.) with a long sleeveless white blouse. Her long hair was tied up in a high ponytail. She glides into the ship and settle down at the commander chair.
Bartfeldt: No, it's good to see that you're alright. Shall we go?
Lacus: Hai!
Crew member: Departure round, C-4 route. Force subroutine 1920, on-line! Logical-aid, added. Security purge, confirmed! All systems, go!
The ZAFT people in the controlling room start to confuse as they wonder how the ship started up. They changed the password of the gate. Bartfeldt looks towards Lacus.
Bartfeldt: Looks like we're off to a bit of wild start. Please be prepare!
Lacus(smile): It can't be helped. We have no choice but to go.
Bartfeldt: Main cannon, prepare to fire! Target the main gate. Fire at the same time as we launch!
Crew member: Main cannon prepared! Target the Main Gate!
Bartfeldt turns around and nods his head and Lacus knows what to do.
Lacus: Eternal! Launch!
Eternal blasted the main gate and launches out; the shuttle that Athrun and Da Costa happens to arrived at the right time as it went into the ship. As they arrived, Athrun and Da Costa went to the bridge. Lacus gets off from her seat and glides towards him.
Lacus: Athrun, are you alright?
Athrun: Lacus?! Ah! Be careful of yourself.
Bartfeldt: Yo, nice to meet you. Welcome to the maiden's ship, I'm Andrew Bartfeldt.
When they were out of the territory, the Yakin's MS came and was about to attack them.
Lacus: Please open all communication channels.
Athrun: Lacus?
Bartfeldt: Roger!
Lacus's voice was announced on their channels.
Lacus: I am Lacus Clyne. Due to conflicting ideals for the future, I've become an enemy of Chairman Zala. I do not wish to fight with you. Please let our ship past! Also, I like you all to rethink about who it is that we have to fight against with!
The MS ignored her advice and starts to shoot at Eternal.
Bartfeldt: Commence interception!
Lacus: Please try not to shoot their cockpits.
Bartfeldt: Even that's difficult. Main cannon, FIRE!
Although some of the MS are been shot down, but some of the missiles they have fired was approaching them which they can't dodge it. It was then Freedom appears and destroys all the missiles; Kira aims all his enemies and shoots them down. He then contacts Eternal.
Kira: This is Freedom, Kira Yamato.
Lacus: Kira!
Kira's image appears on the screen of Eternal.
Kira: Lacus?!
Lacus: Hai!
Athrun: Kira...
Bartfeldt: Hey, young man, you saved us.
Kira: Bartfeldt...san?!
Eternal and Freedom went to Mendel, the space colony whereby Archangel and Kusanagi was docked there too. When they landed, Kira quickly got out and went towards the others, he looks as the door of Eternal opens. The first person to be revealed was of course Lacus, followed by Athrun and the others.
Lacus: Kira!!
She glides towards Kira and took his hands.
Kira: Are you alright? I was so worried about you...
Lacus: I'm alright, thanks to them.
They turn towards Bartfeldt and the other crew members.
Bartfeldt: "Nice to meet you..."would sounds weird, huh? I'm Andrew Bartfeldt.
Ramius: I am Murrue Ramius. But I was really surprised.
Bartfeldt: We both are. Isn't that right, kid?
Kira: You have a reason to attack me back that time...
Bartfeldt: This is war. Anyone might or might not have their sense of obligation.
Kira: Arigatou...
Lacus: Kira...
Suddenly, Lacus holds her tummy in pain and Kira holds her.
Kira: Lacus?! Murrue-san, we must bring her to the medical room! HURRY!!
Ramius: Ah...Yeah! Men, bring Miss Clyne to the medical room! Quick!
After a few minutes, Kira comes out from the medical room and everyone went up to him, looking worried.
Ramius: Kira-kun, how's Miss Clyne doing?
Kira: She's alright now, she needs some rest.
Flaga: So, it's true that she has...
Sai: Who's baby is she carrying?
Kira smiles at them.
Kira: It was mine.
Everyone: !!!
Kira: It has been four months from now.
Flaga tosses his arm over Kira's neck.
Flaga: Whoa, you're brilliant, kiddo!! You have become a father at your age!
Kira(Blush): M..Mwu-san! Stop it! You're embarrassing me!
Flaga: Haha, alright. We go and plan our stuff. You stay here with the princess.
Kira: Arigatou...
On the other side, Cagalli was talking to Athrun. His arm was on a sling again, just that this time is his right arm. Cagalli look at him.
Cagalli: You're always rife with injuries.
Athrun: Your jewel protected me.
Cagalli: I see, that's good. But, who would have thought you'd come back with that ship? That girl was pretty amazing.
Athrun: ......
Cagalli look from the transparent wall and saw Kira walking into the medical room.
Cagalli: Is it okay? She's your fiancée.
Athrun: Not anymore, she even got Kira's baby.
Cagalli: REALLY?! She's bloody brilliant!
Athrun: I'm an idiot...
Cagalli: Well, you just realized it now. It doesn't matter. But...I think Kira was also an idiot. All coordinators sure are idiots. It can't be helped.
Athrun: I see, that's right.
Back to Kira, as he went into the room, he saw that Lacus was up. He glides to her side and sat down on the bed.
Kira: Are you feeling better now?
Lacus: Yeah...
She lowers her head and tears starts to flow down her cheek.
Kira: Lacus?! What's wrong? Does it still hurt?
Lacus: My father...he...he passed away...
Kira: Lacus...
Lacus burst out her cry as she hugs Kira. He hugs her close and tight, yet gently, trying to calm his maiden down.
