Chapter 7

Issbella's space pod finally came to a halt...looking out of the spacecraft's window, she saw Athrun and her fellow teamates running towards her...Issabella quickly got out of her seat and floating-runningly(do u understand wad i mean?) went out of the pod.

"ONEE-CHAN!"yelled Issabella and she lurched forward to hug Athrun.."I missed u so much!"

"arh...finally back i see Issabella" said Dearka,a smile on his face.

"Of course she's back baka! otherwise, she wouldnt be standing here would she?" said Yzak

"Oh keep quiet you people! let Athrun talk! " yelled Miguel, unmistakably directing that remark to Yzak and dearka, who were once again engaged in one of their normal 'fights'...

"Issabella"said Athrun, tears in his eyes, after all, his closest friend was Issabella and he was sure he was here's...for their whole life, the Zala siblings were kept away from people in fear that they would be kidnaped because, well, their father WAS Patrick Zala...It was only a last year after their mother died that their father sent them to team Kruez...and then, among the 7 of them, Athrun got the chance to shine as their leader, despite Issabella being of those extreme clever Coordinators(read prolog)(and yes, Issabella admitted, she did try to sit back abot to allow her brother to shine a little more...after all, she already had enough chances to shine) and Yzak too trying to be their leader...

" Arh, Issabella, i see you are back." said Commander Rau Le Cruz, as he came into the Arrival station...very well, i shall tell you a piece of good news, Director Zala asks the seven of you to meet him at the conference room 1827 at 1400 sharp this afternoon so...Issabella, i suggest that you quickly wash up and get ready...you have barely 2 hours to prepare, and i suppose after that Chairman Clyne might also want to see you regarding the trip to Orb...wherest the other six of you...go get ready too...u can supppose that to be able to meet withh Director Zala is a very glorious thing...well, except for Athrun and Issabella..but, you get the picture..."

To meet with 'Director Zala'?...oh..tat is a very uncommon task for us too...thought Issabella to herself..after all, the siblings had barely less than 2 meetings with their father ever since their mother died...

Hours later, Issabella and her teammates were waiting outside conference room 1827, waiting for the director's green light for them to go in...when they finally did, everyone's faces(well...almost everyone, besides Yzak and Dearka's)was looking so nervous...they walked in uniformly and greeted the Director.

"sit down"he said, giving his usual strict look"you must be very curious as to why i summon here today forthis meeting...well, apparently, we have recieved sufficient information to confirm our suspicions on this subject here. apparently," as the upsized tv screen behind him changed from a blank one to one showing pictures...pictures of..."MSes as i expect you all can tell, these are the pictures brought back to us from one of the Orb colonies...and they, are for the Earth Alliance."

Issabella gasped,but before she could say anything else,"but sir," Miguel said bravely"this is rather impossible, Orb is a neutral colony..."

"correction, it WAS a neutral colony, apparently our dear 'Orb' here now cannot call themselves one. to build Machinery for the Earth Alliances, that, is not someone, who calls themselves a neutral should do. Your mission here, is to capture these 6 Moblie Suits. namely,GAT-X102 Duel,GAT-X103 Buster,GAT-X105 Strike, GAT- X204 Zyther, GAT-X207 Blitz and lastly, GAT-X303 Aegis , as our spies there have told us. However, most importantly, is this," the screen switched to a picture of a white ship, a stranger ship to all of the seven, including Issabella, despite having memorised over 15000 different types of ships and their functions, "Is the Archangel. it is also developed in that same colony. so, i also want you to destroy this ship. As this was, afterall built by naturals, so, i highly doubt that this ship is no much better than any other ship, just a few small bombs should cover it. So, are you ready to take up this mission?

"YES SIRE!" Said all seven of them.

"however, there is one problem, there are seven of you, but only six Mobile suits, so, i have already chosen six of you to take part. the last one will too take part, but will pilot a GINN instead and assist the other six to fufil this mission. The six of you will be promoted to part of the red team, which is a great honor. the last one, will only be promoted if he, or she fufilies their part of the mission exceptionaly well...Well, here's the six. Yzak Jule"

"Yes Sire! "

"Dearka Ethsmen"

"Yes Sire!"

"Nicole Amalfi"

"Yes Sire!"

"Rusty Mckenzie"

"Yes Sire!"

" Issabella Zala"

"Thank You Sire!"

"Miguel Aiman"

...what! thought Issabella... Miguel? How? How can that be?...how...why is it not Athrun...father...
