A/N: This is a shocker chapter, i'll let you figure that out.

Chapter Twelve: Operation: Destiny!

Hibiki found himself awakening to the sound of cooing babies, he lifted his head from the side of Dita's hospital bed that he had supposedly was sleeping on. He rubbed his eyes to get a better look of what was going on. His eyes wandered until they locked onto Dita who was holding a small baby in her arms. He stared at her until she looked at him.

"Well, good morning daddy." she spoke happily. Hibiki didn't know what was going on. Was this another one of his premonitions? This couldn't be, for he knew this would never happen. He tried to form words to fit the situation but none came to his mind.

"What's going on?" he asked, Dita smiled as she turned her head back to the child.

"Hibiki, don't loose hope. You may not realize it but you are the one to defeat the harvest. You have something that no one else possesses." she said. Hibiki raised his brow in confusion.

"And what's that?" he asked. Dita turned back to him and smiled lovingly.

"My precious love..." she said. Hibiki felt a warm sensation creep onto him, making his whole body feel comfortable in his unworldly surroundings. His mind erased all the doubt he had, and filled it with a glimmer of light which engulfed him. This was his destiny, this was the proof that he had a fate that he couldn't change. With a blinding glow, Hibiki awoke in darkness.

He quickly stood and realized he was in the hospital wing, Misty had long gone leaving a slightly misplaced chair in her wake. Hibiki glanced at Dita who was breathing smoothly and calmly. That was a dream, but not one where you're left dazed and confused. A dream that told him where to go, and he knew Dita wasn't going to die. She was forever going to remain in the depths of his heart.

Hibiki ran down the corridors of the Nirvana, determination and courage ran through his veins. He knew now more than ever that hope was his true ally and he should embrace it rather than push it away. He had hate to admit that he couldn't win this fight alone, but he would need the friends he had gained to aid him in his attempts to rid the universe of its enemies. Somewhere deep down inside him, he felt Dita's life force. He knew she wasn't going to die, he knew she wasn't going to give up neither was he. He sped around a corner, and into the hangar which housed his Vanguard. He stopped in front it and stood tall, he was going to give the harvest hell even at the cost of his own life in the process. He had to call everyone, he had an idea. He whizzed to the nearest intercom.

"Everyone onboard the Nirvana, report to the South Wing hangar immediately for briefing. I may have an idea." he shouted into the small speaker. Soon enough, the hangar started to fill with people. From the engineers to the dread pilots, Hibiki leaned against the cockpit of his Vanguard, sporting a black headset.

"Listen, the time has come for us to protect the future of our lives. That's why I need everyone's full cooperation in order to make this work. I'm going to give everyone an assignment, I know I shouldn't be the one to tell you this but I feel that I need to. Alright, here goes nothing..."

Hibiki ran through the halls of the Nirvana, he headed toward the bridge as he exploded through the automatic doors.

"What's happening?" he asked. Ezra and Buzam came over to him, both looking flustered.

"They have reached our radius, they have locked onto our ship. They can attack at any moment!" said Ezra. Without any hesitation, Hibiki went up to Ezra's station and yelled into the intercom.

"Everyone, to your stations! This is it, this is not a drill. Commence..."

Hibiki gritted his teeth.

"Operation: Destiny"

Alarms ran out through the Nirvana, signaling for everyone to get to their respective areas of expertise. Hibiki ran to the hangar, Meia, Jura, and Barnette tailing him. He reached the hangar and went straight to his Vanguard, this was it, the last frontier. He couldn't spare a second nor could he make a single mistake. He slipped into his cockpit, he set his controls onto alert and paused, he looked over to his right where he held a picture of Dita. Her carefree ways and cheerful manner evident in the almost year old picture. He smiled.

"I'm doing this for you, Dita. I'm not about to let you down" he whispered to himself. He pulled onto his maneuvering levers and then pushed forward making the Vanguard accelerate forward out into space.

Meanwhile, Duero ran down to the hospital wing, something was wrong. He pushed through the doors and into the ward. Inside he spotted Paiway trying to calm Dita down who seemed to be struggling with pain.

"What's going on?" he asked. Paiway looked up to him, very nervously.

"I'm not sure, when we got word of the enemy ships she started reacting towards it. I can't get her to calm down." she said trying to pull Dita's arm into a harness strap. Duero felt a surge of electricity rush through his brain, it had just occurred to him in an instant.

"It's the harvest, she's reacting towards the harvest! Quick check the baby now." he said. She did as she was told and pulled a over hanging machine over Dita's stomach and switched it on. The picture at first was fuzzy but when Paiway was able to see what was going on she led out a faint gasp.

"What? What is it?" Duero asked pulling a needle from a nearby drawer. Paiway looked passed the machine and to Duero with a frantic look on her face.

"She's... she's... carrying twins!"

OMG! Dun Dun dun... the story may seem that it's finishing but in fact. I decided to extend it.
