Disclaimer: Sorry about last chapter. Forgot about the flamethrowers. (Opens box marked flamethrowers) What the? A catapult...oh, hah hah. It throws 'flames.' That's funny. Stupid ACME corps! (Steps on with Gundam)
Now, originally this was how I wanted to end this fic.
--------------------------------------------------------------
"Yzak! No!"
The brilliant green light strikes the Duel Gundam straight into the cockpit, giving the entire frame a flaming meteor look. It plummets through the battlefield, destroying the Federation Gundams along the way. In the end, smacks right into the bridge of the Dominion and blows it up into a 1000 pieces. Somehow, Fllay was also in there instead of Natarle as the captain. So everyone's happy! Fllay is dead, and the Blue Cosmos is gone! Plus, the ship was teleported crashing into Genesis also destroying it. The world is safe! The end!
--------------------------------------------------------------
Now before you guys flame me (maybe I should've kept the 'flame' thrower), I changed my mind. Let's do the other version.
--------------------------------------------------------------
"Yzak, no!" The green energy aimed straight at the Duel Gundam was heading faster than sight could see. In an instant, Dearka tackles him out of his way, narrowing the blast both altogether. With a reflexive move, the Buster fires its Rail Cannon at the attacker only to be deflected off Forbidden Gundam's shields.
"Damn it! That things impossible to destroy! How is anyone even supposed to stop that thing?" Dearka shouted after the dramatic event taken place. "It's got close combat capabilities, heavy shields, and superior long-range weaponry. Our outdated mobile suits have no chance against that, Yzak."
The gray-haired boy wasn't amused. "So what? They're still Naturals, no matter how good the suit is. It all matters on whose the better pilot, and that's me!" He escapes from Buster's grip and charges right in the middle of the battlefield. 'I hate that Kira guy, but I loathe Federation losers that think he can kill me easily!' With quick movement, he releases a missile barrage along with an Assault cannon attack.
Raider transforms to dodge the shards, Calamity shoots them down, and Forbidden simply takes it all in. Annoyed at the Coordinator's efforts, the three Fed boys try and shoot Yzak down. A passing asteroid was his saving grace while retreating behind. His breath was panting hard, trying to think up a strategy against such foes.
Suddenly, he got a plan. "Dearka, if you ever think of me as a friend, listen to me now! Do exactly as I say and we might come out of this alive."
"Yzak?" The male blond was quite curious. "You sure about this? How can you trust me after all this time? I could be working for the Archangel for all you know."
"I don't care! You know all my moves, therefore have the best synchronization time with me. Now shut up and fire a barrage with your left cannon!"
Did as told, Dearka separates the Rail Gun and showered the space with golden beams of light. The Duel Gundam hides within the barrage, heading for the Federation forces. Raider automatically jetted away while Forbidden charged straight in. Using his Scythe, it strikes Duel's beam rifle causing it to let go and shield itself from the explosive. Another blow would've been done, but a flying beam saber collides with Forbidden.
"What the hell was that?" The Fed pilot looks up to see a red mobile suit gunning down on him. He backs away to regroup and fires a bending beam energy straight at Cagalli. In a second, Dearka twists away the blast with his own cannon and concentrates the shotgun cannon at the three.
"No one hurts my sister!"
'Sister? Dearka's sister?' The sudden outburst unbalanced his thoughts for a while, when the radar warned of Raider's sneak attack behind. Using the Assault cannon's recoil, the Duel somersaults around behind the dark mobile suit and tries to stab it with his Beam Saber. Raider transforms again into suit-mode and blocks with his hammer.
"Damn you! I talk to Dearka later about that. Today, you're finished!" He fires another batch of missiles to distract him, then tries a upper slash upon the Gundam. He jets below and behind, kicking him in the process.
"You won't defeat me, Coordinator! I am Crot, and don't you forget that. I'll never lose to a Coordinator. Ever!"
"Then how about a Natural?" Right below, Cagalli slashes off his connection to the hammer and round-house kicks him far away. Angered, Crot transforms to retrieve his weaponry and manually spins around the hammer like a mace in flight mode.
"Die!"
"Cagalli, no!"
Dearka, in a last ditch effort, pushes away the Astray and takes the full blow of the attack. The Buster was battered in deep dents and his cannons all but destroyed. Raider goes past him in the momentum and u-turns around for the finishing blow.
"Dearka...Why did you do that?" Yzak couldn't understand why he would save a Natural, let alone even be her ally. She was that brat back at Orb that embarrassed him on desert Earth. "Why did you put yourself in danger like that?"
The image of the blonde Coordinator was one of him slightly bleeding at head. He coughed hard, but all he did was mouth out the words.
She's my family.
"Die, Coordinator!"
Yzak, enraged that his best friend was almost killed by that guy, suddenly felt almost nothing. His mind was calmed, yet his vision was dark. A light ping sound rang in his ear. He saw a small flower bud dropping into a puddle of water, bursting upon contact. Yzak felt powerful now, confident and strong. His skills felt invincible, and yet passable to be human. He saw his 'SEED.' A berserker.
"Yaaaah!" With perfect persicion, every missile he fired surrounded Raider but not hitting him. Cornered, Crot tried escaping but a strong punch to the feet knocked the jet circuits offline for now. An emergency call was sent out but reports of the straining battle against the Freedom and Justice left him alone. Apparently, those two have also gone into the symptom of 'SEED.'
"What did you say about a Coordinator never beating you, punk?! How about this?" He takes away the hammer and uses a round-bout movement to sent it back to the owner. Knocked around enough to get everything online, Crot transforms into flight and flew straight into the cockpit of Duel. Yzak caught him with ease, and fired his Assault cannon into the right side of the Gundam, paralyzing it along with an unconscious pilot. He jets away from the wreckage.
"Yzak, come in. This is Commander Raw. Fall back now. We have lost precious time fighting in this battle royale. Retreat for now...that is a direct order."
'An order?' His eyes seemed calm again, and for once retreat didn't sound so bad. For some reason, he felt complete enough that fighting Kira wasn't such a hassle. He knew his skills have increased somehow, satisfying to teach a Natural about piloting. "Yes, sir. Falling back." He takes one last look at the busted up tan Gundam with a wave. 'Until next time, Dearka.'
--------------------------------------------------------------
"Captain, it seems the Dominion is retreating. Also, ZAFT forces are also falling back. It looks like we survived." Mwu reported in on the big screen. "Should we...retrieve the Buster and the princess now?"
"Yes, that would be good. Have Kira and Athrun help, too."
--------------------------------------------------------------
"Cagalli!" Kira shouted on the screen. "You're alive! And Dearka too!"
Her face showed immense relieve and happiness at the sight of the boy, as her suit was badly damaged during the fight. Upon closer speculation by Athrun, he also noticed the Raider Gundam in the same condition as the Buster. 'What the? Did they do this? I can't believe it's in such good shape.' "Hey, captain? Do you read me? We got the Raider Gundam pretty beaten up, but I think we can take it in. Should we?"
"Why not? I'd doubt the pilot is conscious right now, so hurry up before he wakes up."
"Roger. Kira, you take in those two to the Archangel. I'm taking this guy to the Eternal."
Justice, with little trouble, lifts Crot's suit back to Lacus's ship. With given permission, it was let down gently on the hanger floor, then the cockpit door was opened to quickly check the status of the pilot. Most of the soldiers branded out handcuffs, but a sweet voice clearly objected.
"No, please. Just have the medic take him to the sick bay. Care for him in case of major head damage and concussions, please."
"But lady Clyne-"
Andrew interrupted. "You heard the captain. Take care of that boy now!"
--------------------------------------------------------
"Everyone, I want to say sorry for all the trouble I caused."
In front of the Archangel bridge, Dearka and Cagalli formally apologize for their actions. It was their idea to reveal their secret, and now was the perfect time. "You see, back at Orb my father told me a secret that really changed my perspective. With that information, I just snapped about the war and decided to leave. Dearka followed as you know, and now here we are again."
Athrun questioned, "but what was that info that Uzamaki told you? Surely it wasn't because of any new weaponry, was it?"
She shook her head. "No, no. What he told me was that Dearka here...is my brother."
---------------------------------------------------------
The boy named Crot opened his eyes, slowly due to the sudden brightness. "Where am I? It can't be Heaven, is it?" he mumbled.
"No, but can life be considered Heaven sometimes? That's what I think."
He quickly rose up from a white bed, only to feel an immense headache. "Arg! Damn, what the hell?!"
"You shouldn't move your head so quickly. That might make it worse."
"Huh?" He glanced at the speaker, seeing a girl with light red hair and a golden pin on her hair. Her uniform was a placid white skirt along with captain pipes on the collar. "Hell?! A ZAFT! I got captured by ZAFT!"
"Wait, hold on!" Lacus tried to calm down the floating boy, who was now silenced with nothing but groaning and aching. "Please, I assure you we are not ZAFT."
"Liar! You're Coordinators, and Coordinators are ZAFT! You guys are supposed to die, and keep off our Earth. Why don't you die?!" He shouted despite the pain it felt. "Leave us alone! Why am I still alive?"
"Because we didn't want to cause any unnecessary deaths. You were not threatening our lives when we took you in. Even though you attacked us, you didn't really kill anyone. That's why I feel no burden. Of course, I would still hold nothing against you even if you did kill."
"Shut up! You're making up nothing but crazy lies! I won't believe a word you say! All you Coordinators are the same. That's why all of you should di-ah......" he rolled his eyes back before slipping into unconsciousness once again. Amazing how this red-head boy looks so peaceful, yet has a disturbed soul.
With a soft touch, Lacus drops him down to the bed and covers him with the blanket and a cool pack. "How horrible, that human minds have become nothing more than pen-written reports that cannot be erased so easily. A mind that won't accept anything else other than ink will not adapt to peace. Maybe something that will white it out will save the effort to start over." A gentle stroke across his hair gave her a small smile. "Please sleep tight. I hope you will feel well the next time..."
---------------------------------------------
That's right. Crot is alive and captured! Is that original or what? Hahahahhaahh! (Flames come in) Here's the flame-thrower! Take that! (Water balloons) What the- ahhhhhhhhhhh!
Review, and thanks!
