"YOU WON'T LET ME FLY THIS SKYGRASPER?" Cagalli yelled at Murdoch with all her might.

Murdoch stared mouth open at the raging princess.

Mwu La Flaga's head popped out of nowhere and said,

"Let her pilot the Skygrasper. We'll need more firepower to take out the submarine. Prepare the second unit for Cagalli."

[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]

The GOOhNs continued their attack, and then Mwu launched in the Skygrasper, equipped with the Launcher pack, followed by Cagalli in the second unit. Kira then launched in his Strike Gundam equipped with the Sword pack and headed underwater to fight the GOOhNs.

At the Gibraltar Base, three transports planes launched carrying Yzak, Dearka, Nicol and their Gundams. Athrun was forced to stay behind temporarily due to the malfunction of his transport plane.

One of the GOOhNs continued attacking the Archangel and managed to avoid the ship's attacks. Nearby, Mwu and Cagalli searched for the Coustaut.

At Gibraltar, Athrun's transport finally took off after the brief delay.

The Coustaut prepared to launch its DINN forces until it was attacked by the Skygrapers.

"Cagalli! Back off! You're flying too close to the Coustaut!" Mwu yelled at Cagalli. He then fired the Launcher's impulse cannon, which destroyed the Coustaut.

The Archangel continued to be attacked by the GOOhN, the Murrue ordered Neumann to perform a 360 degrees barrel roll so they can fire their main cannons. As Neumann performed the barrel roll, the massive ship flipped over and destroyed the GOOhN.

Little effect was done when Kira drove his sword into the ZnO's arm. Then, he pulled out his combat knives and stabbed ZnO, and flipped it over before it exploded.

Cagalli flew around aimlessly and was hit by the DINN, and Mwu told her to retreat as she was in his way. He fired the impulse cannon which destroyed the DINN.

Cagalli got lost while searching for the Archangel and stumbled upon Athrun's plane. They fired at each other which both got damaged.

Athrun got into Aegis Gundam and dropped off the transport plane. Cagalli, the other hand, tried to break off, but the damaged Skygrasper crashed into the water. Cagalli was then unconscious.

[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]

 When Cagalli came around, she found out she had crashed along the shore of a small island. She began exploring the island and spotted Athrun and his Aegis Gundam. She drew her gun quietly, and as Athrun noticed her presence, he pointed his gun at her. Cagalli shot Athrun and wounded his shoulder, forcing him to drop his gun and hid behind a large rock.

Cagalli, armed with her gun, slid down the hill and approached Athrun. Athrun pulled out his knife, waiting to ambush. Cagalli kicked the gun away, waiting for any signs of movement. After a while, as she picked up Athrun's gun, the owner jumped out from above and kicked the gun out off her hand. He then flipped her onto the ground and jumped on top of her.

As he was about to strike,

"AHHHHHHH!!!!!" Cagalli screamed all her might.

Athrun looked at her, puzzled and let out,

"Eh? You're a girl?"

Cagalli teary eyed, stared at Athrun with full of hatred.

Athrun grabbed her, tied her hands and feet, and then threw both guns into the ocean.

"There! Now you're unarmed and tied up. Better don't try anything funny, or I'll have to kill you," Athrun said as he looked at Cagalli. Cagalli gave him a rude stare and faced away.

Athrun went back to Aegis Gundam and grabbed the First-aid kit. He then returned to his prisoner.

"So, you're a soldier of the Earth's Alliance?" asked Athrun, while tending his wound.

"No, I'm not a soldier nor am I working with the Earth Alliance," replied Cagalli, still poker faced.

She crawled to Athrun, like a caterpillar, shot a nasty look and asked him,

"Were you one of the men who raided Heliopolis?"

Athrun stopped whatever he was doing and stared at Cagalli in silence.

"You know, I was there when ZAFT attacked Heliopolis. Cruel! You bunch of war-mongering idiots! Those people were innocent! T-that thing destroyed everything!" Cagalli yelled, now staring at Aegis Gundam.

Athrun tended his wound in silence. After that, he went back to Aegis Gundam, tried to send out a distress call, but failed because there was too much radio interference.

Cagalli crawled caterpillar-like up a hill to Aegis Gundam. Suddenly, lightning strike and thunder roared. It scared her; she went rolling down the hill and into a pond.

Athrun, who was watching her all the time in Aegis Gundam, chuckled at the sight of her caterpillar crawl, decided to help Cagalli. Aegis Gundam shielded Cagalli from the rain.

He went out, cut the ropes which bound Cagalli's hand and feet and watched her struggling free. She danced in the rain for awhile and fell into the ocean when she tripped on her legs.

She went up, and suddenly, a crab crawled out off her hair. She briskly brushed the crab off and Athrun made a remark,

"Hey, there may be more crabs under your clothes,"

Cagalli, felt something crawling underneath her clothes, briskly took off her vest and her red shirt. The culprit fell onto the ground and hurried away. Cagalli, who was wearing only her undergarments, blushed furiously and shot up at Athrun, who, looked away quickly and blushed.

It rained heavily. Athrun found a cave and decided to stay there for a night. Cagalli sat by the fire, wrapped in a blanket, waiting for the clothes to dry. Athrun took out some off his food ration and gave some to Cagalli,

"Here, eat this," said Athrun as he handed out the ration.

"I'm not hungry!" replied Cagalli, aloof. Then, she stomach growled loudly, which made her blushed.

Athrun chuckled, "No need to be hard-headed. Just take this. It not as if it's poisoned or something."

Cagalli leapt, took the food ration and began to eat. Athrun sat by the fire, looking at Cagalli. Athrun went out for awhile and came back in.

"Ahhh! Can't send a distress call," sighed Athrun.

"No wonders. It's the ZAFT's fault anyway. With all these planes flying about," said Cagalli casually.

"Should I remind you that the Earth Alliance started the war with their nuclear attack," Athrun said briefly.

Cagalli kept quiet for awhile and then she asked,

"Aren't you going to tie me up?"

Athrun chuckled and replied,

"Whys should I? You're unarmed and can't do anything to me."

Cagalli smirked, "If you don't tie me up, I might steal your gun, and make you look like a fool."

Athrun smiled weakly and replied,

"You'll never give up, don't you? If you do anything funny, I might have to kill you."

Cagalli frowned and stared at the fire.

"No one expected the Heliopolis situation to turn out as it did. ZAFT only wanted the Gundams, nothing more," said Athrun.

"ZAFT DESTROYED THE COLONY!" yelled Cagalli, as she clenched her fists.

"Well, Orb built mobile suits for the Alliance despite their supposed neutrality. Besides, ZAFT is fighting to protect PLANTs and can't allow those things to get away," said Athrun grimly.

"I'm fighting this war because ZAFT invaded Earth!" Cagalli continued yelling.

"Oh yeah? My mother was on Junius Seven! It was an innocent farming colony, destroyed in the blink of an eye!" shouted Athrun.

Cagalli went silent and continued staring at the fire. Athrun then stared to fall asleep. Cagalli eyed Athrun's gun, which laid on the ground unguarded. The fire crackled noisily, Cagalli tossed her blanket over Athrun and grabbed the gun.

"I don't want to shoot! Neither I want you to use your mobile suit to kill innocent people!" cried Cagalli, pointing the gun towards Athrun.

Athrun drew his knife and replied back,

"Shoot or get killed because I can't let you sabotage my suit!"

Athrun rushed towards her with his knife. She tried to run away, she tossed the gun aside and accidentally fired it.

Athrun leapt upon Cagalli to protect her. His arm was grazed in the process.

"Which idiot tosses her gun away and fires it?" asked Athrun through gritted teeth.

Cagalli, now in her moss green tank top, sat and stared at Athrun. He went back to Aegis and brought back the first-aid kit. Cagalli the leapt forward and snatched it from him.

"Hey! Give that back to me!" shouted Athrun.

"No! I'm treating your wound so I don't owe you anything," replied Cagalli sternly.

Athrun blushed and said, "Before that, err, I t-think you clothes are dry now."

Cagalli, forgetting that she was half-naked, grabbed her clothes and dressed in top speed. After that she bandaged Athrun's arm.

Morning came; Kira in his Strike Gundam came to rescue Cagalli. Nicol came in a helicopter to pick up Athrun. Before they when to their respective transport, Athrun shouted at the blonde,

"Hey! I'm Athrun! And you are?"

Cagalli looked back and smiled,

"Cagalli!"

They waved at each other and went back to their respective vehicles, wondering when they would meet again.
