"Captain! At this rate, we'll be-"
"I'm aware of that! If only we had-"
"Captain! There's a mobile suit heading our way! It's…It's STRIKE-ROUGE!"
"Heh…Just in time kid."
Strike-Rouge was piloted by Kira Yamato, the ultimate coordinator, since his Freedom was destroyed by Shinn. (I HATE Shinn! Stupid DUMBASS!) Without any delay or hesitation, Strike-Rouge disarmed all the mobile suits before him with his sabre and beams. Having the units disarmed, Strike-Rouge and the ship flee without anymore damage or attacks.
"Whew! I didn't think that we would've made it back there. Good timing and thanks kid."
"No problem. How is he?"
"He's doing fine and I believe that it's time we have a little visit huh"
"Please do that. I'll return to the Archangel for now. We'll meet you in a couple minutes."
"Sure thing kid."
While waiting for some explanations, Asuran was fiddling with his fingers and began to go to a deep thinking mode. While he was busy doing that, a beautiful lady was walking towards the room with the captain. They stood outside from his room and they opened the door.
"I see that your quiet and busy thinking like you usually do," said the lady.
After hearing a girl's voice, Asuran rose to his feets and stared in shock.
"La…Lacus! and Captain Walfeld!"
"Surprised to see us prince," said Captain Walfeld with a smiling smirk.
"Don't call me that. First of all I'm not a prince, I don't know why you guyz keep callin me that, and second of all, where am I?"
"We're on board the Eternal. We came to your rescue after we've found out that the Chairman was going to have you executed. Because we didn't allow that to happen to our dear old friend, we decided to…well…how you say-"
"Kick some ass!" interrupted Captain Walfeld in a jokey kind of tone.
"Ah, now it's all starting to make sense. Ummm…where are we going?" asked Asuran in a please tell me tone.
"We're going to the Archangel. We need to discuss some issues that are happening in this war and make preparations. And above all that, I think that you've got a lot of explaining to do to us, especially to Cagalli, said Lacus in a serious and not-like-Lacus-at-all tone. Cagalli has been through a lot of things since you've re-enlisted with ZAFT and the war that's happening again. She's been crying a lot lately and hasn't been able to focus. If Kira weren't here, she wouldn't have been able to cope with all the things happening. Cagalli is struggling to hold on to her position ever since the last battle. The survivors of the Orb fleets came to the Archangel and decided to join with us. It has been very hard for Cagalli to hold up her courage and give a smile."
After hearing what Lacus have said, Asuran had an immediate feeling of guilt and sadness. He couldn't believe what he had done to hurt her. He didn't even realize how she was feeling about all these things happening. He remembered what he had told Cagalli and Kira back at the meeting place. He told them that they were making the situation even worse and told them to go back to Orb and deal with the treaty.
Asuran never have felt so bad in his life. Seeing his mother and father die is different. But hurting the one true love of his life and seeing his best friend die in the hands of Shinn is a total different story. Thinking about Kira… Asuran bursted into tears.
"Don't worry about it," said Lacus.
Asuran looks up with tears in his eyes.
"Cagalli and Kira will forgive you, no matter what you did. They're not the kind of people who would hold a grudge against a close friend or to others. I'm sure everything will be alright," said Lacus.
"Kira? Kira's dead! I saw Freedom get destroyed! Shinn destroyed Freedom! I saw it!" screamed Asuran.
"He's alive. Cagalli managed to retrieve his cockpit before it went below the sea. He's totally fine," assured Lacus.
With what Lacus said, Asuran failed to hold back his tears and they came flowing from his eyes again. Asuran dropped to the ground and started to cry. Lacus bent down and gave Asuran a hug and reassured him again that everything will be alright.
"Alrighty then! screamed Captain Walfeld. I can't stand seeing you kids cry. Let's hurry up and meet with Archangel so we can end this pointless war." And off the Eterenal went to meet up with the Archangel.
