Phase 02 - Crying out in pain

Episode Summary: Pain is in everyone's hearts because of the war, but, it messes up lives when it destroys trust. Does trust mean you have to lose what you fight for? Is everything planned ahead? If so, what does the future hold, or can one person make a difference in all? Is the future planned or made by acts, does the stage to acts take forever to get to because of an unforgiving soul? Is the soul crushed when tears pour out into emotions?

Summary: Stars And Stripes seem more like national colors, but, what does it have to do with love? Find out in Stars And Stripes, a LacusxKira fanfic!

Long Summary: The war of Jachin Due was finally over and everyone was relieved. If had been a hard war, mostly revolving around the destruction of Junius 7 and the chaos that broke out between the Earth Alliance and ZAFT(Zodiac Alliance of Freedom Treaty). Many deaths occured, leaving the death toll tremendous. Many died of different reasons, here are the ones who we are familiar with that died: Siegel Clyne, Chairman Patrick Zala, Commander Mu La Flaga, Commander Rau La Crueset, Tolle Koenig, Nicol Amalfi, Uzumi Nara Athha(ruler of ORB), Miguel Aiman, Ahmed(Cagalli's friend), Aisha(Andrew Waltfeld's partner), Flay Allster, Flay Allster's Father, and the many soldiers who fought bravely for peace and an end to the war.

The Archangel, Kusanagi, and the Eternal's crew members have been working hard, as usual, to repair the ships. Word around has been said that the transport ships are to be here today and the hustle and bustle of everyone is very distracting to others who don't care about it much.

"What! Kira, but, why? Why are you resigning from the military?" Cagalli exclaims.
"Because, I feel I should, everyone is safe now and there's nothing to protect now that the war of Jachin Due is over. I've decided to actually settle some place and live life in peace, like I was at Heliopolis. That's why. I'm very sorry Cagalli, I hope I can come visit you sometime at Orb, when your not busy." Kira said.

"Kira! Hey has anyone seen- Oh, Hi Kira!" Lacus says. "Hey, Lacus." Kira replies. "Hey, Athrun-san and Cagalli-chan! Nice to see you all here!" Lacus exclaims. "Hello, Lacus." Cagalli and Athrun say in unison. "Kira can I ask you something?" Lacus asks. "Sure." Kira says. "Well, we ought to be on our way to help, see you all!" Athrun says and makes Cagalli come with him. "Kira?" Lacus asks. "Yes?" Kira says. "Since you're resigning from the military, I was hoping you could come stay with me and Reverend Malchio and the orphan children, I planned on staying there. Would you come with me?" Lacus explains. "Lacus, I would, truly." Kira says. Then walks out of the room.

Everyone soon boards their correct ship as the ships arrive to escort the crew members. "This is a hard time for us all. I hope we can face the truth, and say goodbye to everyone." Sai says to Miriallia. "Where did Kira go?" Miriallia asked. "Oh, he resigned from the military and is going back to Zaft, so he's on the other ship." Sai explains. "Oh, I didn't know, I hope we seem him some other time in the near future." Miriallia says.

The ships leave from the Archangel, Kusanagi, and the Eternal. Everyone's future is set and the balance of nature will decide what is to come. "Kira, I hope we can live a peaceful life, the war has made everyone insane and is driving me nuts! I'm glad it is over." Lacus says. "Yeah, me too." Kira replies
