In the past two hours much had happened. ORB was now under Sazuka's and Rondo's control, the Alliance was now completely powerless to stop them with no weapons to fight back. Citizens everywhere on Earth were confused and lost at what to do. With Eternal still another 4 hours away all seemed to be lost.
Out in space a shuttle had reached its destination point, with Earth so close all that was left to do was wait. Suddenly the radar began buzzing as something was getting close, at fast speeds.
"Its here" said Kira, a single Mobile Suit Pod was closing in, Kira quickly reversed the shuttle to the same speed and waited for the two to be in alignment and close together. It was now or never, placing his helmet on he jumped from the shuttle and ignited his jetpack which gave him his needed push. He landed on the pod but tripped and tumbled down the pod, he grabbed on to the entrance hatch lock and opened the door.
Inside the pod he clambered into his Mobile Suit, the controls activated at once, his screens turned on and power was at full capacity. Taking a deep breath he pressed the buttons to self-detonate the hatch and send the pieces flying. With one great stretch Strike Freedom Gundam stretched out its body, its shield and beam rifles in its hands. With no time to waste its thrusters ignited and with great speed leaving a trail of sparkles made for Earth.
At the grand ORB manor Lacus looked out the window at the night sky and she pictured a shooting star heading for Earth.
"Kira" she whispered when the ground began to shake. The ground around the manor began to explode and the building was sinking into the ground. Steel walls covered the whole area as the building sank into the ground, it stopped after five minutes and one by one metal gates began closing above it and a voice was heard.
"Closing Gate 1, closing gate 2, Gate 3 and 4, Closing Gates 5 and 6. Orb Manor shield now active.
Lacus heard a giggle behind her. She turned round to see Sazuka wearing a silver ZAFT uniform with a golden cloak.
"So now my castle is protected, why would a fortress be needed in a peaceful time?" she asked Lacus. Lacus said nothing.
"You know History is like an Endless Waltz, the three beats of war, peace and revolution continue on forever but upon my coronation that will all chance, I will rule the world" said Sazuka. Lacus and Haro looked at her; they knew it was not over yet.
Above Earth Amatu floated aimlessly while Shinn had his eyes closed, he was remembering when peace was finally achieved. He had not been so pleased to hear about this.
"Your letting ORB win?" he asked one of the ZAFT leaders who nodded.
"YOU'RE NUTS! Are the deaths of the Chairman and Rey going to be in vein?" he asked to the council.
"The wars over we now have a chance to achieve peace. What about the soldiers who are tired of fighting?" asked one member.
"What about those who know they have to keep on fighting till justice has been truly served?" asked Shinn as he ran out and jumped into a shuttle.
"I will fight until the day a true leader for ORB is chosen" he said and left PLANT searching for a new army to fight for.
Now he had everything he needed to attain justice. He would not allow his friends death to be for nothing, only one stood in his way now.
"There he is" he whispered, from behind Amatu Freedom was getting closer to Earth. Kira could see Shinn and prepared to fight. Amatu took flight and charged at Freedom.
"I will not allow you to go to Earth" said Shinn and fired the heat whip from Amatu. Freedom dodged the whip which seemed to follow him before it retracted. Both Gundams stared at each other.
"Is this what you call peace?" asked Kira.
"I need to know for myself if Sazuka's leadership is the true path for ORB and not a place of murder" snarled Shinn and Amatu ignited its Sabre and charged forward, Freedom put its rifles away and drew its own Sabre and charged forward.
"AND I WILL BECOME EVIL ITSELF TO FIND OUT" yelled Shinn and both blades struck. Lightning seemed to explode as they clashed, Amatu tried striking again but Freedom blocked and pushed back.
"Humanity did not change" said Shinn, "although all battles were ended ORB did not change one BIT".
Back at Nataku Lowe lay on the ground of his cell with 8 on his back, a few hours had now passed.
"Now lets see, Eternal should be arriving soon" said Lowe as he placed his fingers into his hair and took out a small explosive device Mu gave him. The two soldiers outside the door heard a sound but then could not find out what it was as it landed on top of them. Making good his escape Lowe made for the shuttle dock, with soldiers firing at him he leapt onto a shuttle and closed the door.
"Hey you could have come to help me" he said as he sat on the chair next to Mu who was waiting for him. "Ain't nothing wrong with helping a friend in need is there?" he asked.
"Actually I was waiting for another person whose joining us" said Mu, Lowe was confused who but the heard footsteps.
"Okay I've freed the hostages, it was a breeze, bit of sleeping gas and their out for the count" chuckled Luna.
"Okay let's get going" said Mu activating the shuttle.
"Ooooooh so this is who you meant" chuckled Lowe.
"Why thank you Lowe, you know I thought a Blade master like yourself could not be caught" said Luna, Mu laughed and Lowe looked out the window in disgust.
"If you're joking that's cruel but if you're being sarcastic that's even worse" he said as they left for Earth.
Earths Atmosphere was so close to them they could get pulled in at any minute however both Freedom and Amatu were not giving up. Both had exchange deadly blows however the other had blocked back. Both pilots had their hands gripped to the controls; Shinn seemed to be trying to push Kira away from Earth while Kira was pushing towards it.
"The War we fought is over; if we continue this pointless fighting more death will follow. You must have realised that by now" said Kira.
"So you're saying that soldiers who only know how to fight get discarded?" asked Shinn. Amatu fired every missile it had had Freedom. Freedom quickly took action and launched the Dragoon System lasers which fired on the missiles causing them to explode before impact. Amatu took a chance and charged with a blade attack. Freedom moved back but got a scratch on the chest. Kira quickly took action and Freedom grabbed the main weapon arm of Amatu with its shield arm whilst using its own sabre to block Amatu's. Kira pushed the thruster's power to top speeds and forced Amatu towards Earth atmosphere.
"Soldiers who have been able to obtain a sense of justice have chosen the path we walk today. All soldiers should be able to understand this. There is no reason to fight" said Kira.
"I'm fighting on behave of all soldiers including yourself" shouted Shinn as they both entered the atmosphere, a wall of fire covering their suits. However both did not seem to be affected, small bits of armour fell off but no real damage.
"Shinn" said Kira still not understanding why Shinn was fighting.
"Right now you and I are battling like this. Isn't it true that you feel your full potential in life when your engaged in combat?" asked Shinn. Kira's eyes widened, true he was a skilled fighter but did he truly enjoy it? "You and I are the same Kira Yamato we have been acknowledged for our existence on the battle field" shouted Shinn. Amatu tried to push Freedom's blade away however only moved so both Gundams were staring at each other face to face.
"Just remember Shinn, Rey is dead you don't have to let him control your actions" shouted Kira.
"YOU'RE WRONG! I still hear him even now" snarled Shinn as the two began falling in the Earth's sky.
Back in ORB Black Frames were firing like mad as Strike Gundam now wearing its Sword Strike pack cut the body parts off suits causing them to deactivate. Meanwhile a M1 Astray model kept to the skies and fired at Black Frame's also disabling them.
"Dearka, the main defence shield for the manor is activated, we can't penetrate it by ourselves" said Milly.
"I realise that but I don't do something there's no one who will stand against them" said Dearka as Strike got in between two Frames and cut their heads off and moved on, hovering over the suits.
"Who are you waiting for?" asked Milly.
"For those who wish for peace, if Sazuka is allowed to do as she wishes it will result in another BLOODY VALENTINE" yelled Dearka. Strike fired its grappling device which clamped to a Black Frame forcing it to fall over and have a damaged leg. Dearka dragged it knocking over ten suits on the way before releasing it.
"Milly, you don't have to be here" said Dearka.
"Dearka two years ago I lost someone I loved. Since then I swore to myself if I loved again I would not leave their side" whispered Milly. Dearka went quiet.
"Understood" he said as they moved on.
High above the sea surrounding ORB Freedom and Amatu were descending. Freedom at once took flight with Amatu falling shortly after; At once they continued their fight and this time they flew in and backed way in a dangerous duel.
"I do not except Lacus Clyne's words, her belief that soldiers who wish to keep on fighting to be detained is wrong" snarled Shinn his eyes now blood shot with anger.
"Is that why you're allowing Rondo and Sazuka to continue this oppression?" asked Kira.
"THAT'S WHERE US SOLDIERS FIND OUR GLORY" shouted Shinn drawing Amatu's other blade in the other hand and attacking Freedom with both. Freedom's sabre and shield flew from its hand but Kira quickly drew a double blade sabre and ignited it. Amatu's sabres met Freedom's and now Amatu was pushing hard.
"That maybe good for you now but soon Sazuka will recreate history, a history full of pointless battles" said Kira. "Unless we stop now and end all of this more soldiers will be lost to battles which were not needed" said Kira.
Shinn had gone quiet and slowly was calming down but was still ready to fight.
"Tell me Shinn how many more people must we kill?" asked Kira then fell silent and closed his eyes. "How many more time must I watch those civilians die when they entered the atmosphere on that shuttle?" Shinn froze in fear; he remembered hearing about an Alliance shuttle full of civilians that was shot down even though a lone Gundam had tried to defend them. He thought it had been sick that innocent people could be killed like that. However he never realised Kira had been trying to protect just he would have as well.
"Tell me Shinn, why must we fight if all we do is lose the ones we care for?" asked Kira and suddenly let go of the controls. Freedom stopped and fell into the ocean very close to the ORB coastline. Amatu hovered in mid-air, Shinn remember how it was war itself that first caused the battle of ORB, and the lose of his family. He had been so blinded by hatred he never realised what caused the battle in the first place.
"Would an incident like that have to be repeated?" he asked himself
"Send Squads D and F to point 6 and stop those two Mobile Suits" ordered Rondo. In a secure HQ Rondo ordered the battle against Strike and M1. Sitting on thrones Lacus and Sazuka watched.
"Well it looks like two stray soldiers want to fight to the death. How stupid yet noble" said Sazuka. Lacus went quiet, she could sense something, it was not over yet.
At Father Markio's orphanage Waltfeld had taken shelter there and watched the battle at ORB.
"Father I thought Kira said there was not going to be any more wars?" asked a four-year-old boy.
"I know he did" said Father Markio.
"So why are they still having a war?" asked a six-year-old girl.
"Unfortunately not everyone is as reasonable as you all," said Markio. The children smiled.
"But the fact is the people are too reasonable" Markio whispered to Waltfeld.
"Yes, if no one stands against Sazuka then no one will dare challenge her" said Waltfeld as he continued watching.
Above Earth Eternal was silent. It had stopped moving an hour ago. Inside the Mobile Suit Deck Strike Rouge, stepped forward.
"Are you guys ready?" she asked. Behind her Justice and Akatsuki were activated and Justice's phase shift armour lit up.
"Lets do it," said Mu.
"This is what you get when messing with ORB," said Athrun.
"Well what are we waiting for?" asked Lowe, Red Frame stepped forward and with one swipe of the Gerbera straight hacked the door away. One by one the four Gundams left the ship and descended to Earth.
Back in ORB more Black Frames had now surrounded the area. Some were now carrying rocket launchers and firing missiles at Strike and M1 who were pinned down. They had managed to disarm a few Black Frames however the numbers were growing and were closing in.
"We've reached our limit" said Dearka.
"I'm not giving up yet" said Milly.
"You're not the only one" said Dearka and both prepared to fight back as three Black Frames closed and prepared to attack. As Dearka blinked the suits fell to the ground as their heads flew away. Dearka and Milly gasped at what they saw.
"Alright whose trying to take over my homeland?" shouted Cagali, Strike Rouge was holding a beam sabre in one hand and rifle in the other with no shield.
"Prime Minister" laughed Milly.
Black Frames with Flight packs were moving in however Justice was already in the air and using energy boomerangs sent them crashing to ground.
"You two are something. You took out 25 if their army without harming one soldier" said Athrun.
"I'll be glad if we teach them something old buddy" laughed Dearka as Strike and M1 joined the fight again.
Four Black Frames aimed their shields ready to fire the missiles however the radars bleeped upwards and they looked up. Descending for the skies with its sword in hand Red Frame landed and sliced the legs off one suit and the heads off the other three.
"Let's just send the suits and war itself along with us to hell" laughed Lowe as Red Frame charged in against the Black Frames. Golden Dragoon lasers were firing and disarming up to ten suits as Akatsuki opened fire on the Black Frames.
"About 300 suits, that's at least 50 each. If we're taking out the main forces we might be able to cut through" said Mu.
All over Earth and on separate areas of ORB civilians watched on the huge outside screens as the battle continued. The same at PLANT where everyone watched in awe and wonder as the small band of Gundams fought back against the apparent new ORB ruler.
"How long do those former Heroes expect to keep this up?" laughed Rondo.
"Even if they can defeat our forces how can they get into this base? Either way they'll fail" chuckled Sazuka. Lacus watched the screen, seeing her friends fighting on to defend ORB. She then got up while Haro looked at her.
"I've been running" she said.
"What's the matter Lacus?" asked Sazuka.
"I've been running…from the truth" said Lacus and darted at one of the controls and pressed a few buttons.
All over Earth and PLANT her image appeared on the screens.
"Everyone do not fear the images you are watching. Do not expect peace to be given to you, you fight for…" Rondo had cut off the transmission and a few soldiers were aiming their gun at Lacus.
"Hey was that Lady Lacus?" asked one civilian.
"What does she mean fight?" asked another. Everyone began talking among themselves, everyone was confused and scared.
"It's too early for your appearance dear Clyne" said Rondo. Lacus said nothing but stared at Rondo with determination.
"Your asking people to fight" said Sazuka as she walked over, Haro had jumped into Lacus' hand. "But isn't against your belief in total pacifism?" asked Sazuka.
"I may believe in peace but I myself had to fight in two wars. Sometimes even the most peaceful person has to fight for their desires" said Lacus.
The people of ORB were all gathered together and wondering what to do, even with Lacus' words they had no idea.
"Are you all just going to continue sitting on your butts?" everyone turned round to see Murrue standing away from the crowds.
"So Sazuka is a better leader then Cagali? Go on then go wag your tails and run to her" she said not looking at the crowd.
"HEY you calling us dogs?" asked one man.
"Oh my apologise, your not the dogs that wag their tails. You the tail that GETS wagged" said Murrue looking at them.
"Shut you mouth lady your looking at a soldier who fought at the battle of Moon and Genesis 2 a year ago so don't you call us name" snapped the man.
"That's funny I see no soldiers" said Murrue, "the only I know are either dead or are up there on that screen". And she pointed up at the screen.
With Black Frames still fighting the Gundam resistance fought on. Slowly but sure the crowd began to realise that right now the people who fought for them once before were fighting again. Even their Prime Minister Cagali was in Strike Rouge and battling alongside Athrun, Lowe, Mu, Dearka and Milly. Strike Rouge and M1 were taking cover behind buildings and firing on Black Frames. Akatsuki and Justice were in the air shooting down flying suits whilst more kept appearing. And Strike and Red Frame were using their blades to cut down the enemy to prevent them from moving forward. They were fighting the peoples freedom, and for peace.
"I guess we can't expect peace to be handed on a plate" someone said. And they all began talking.
"You think we may have been selfish?"
"Your right we should be fighting as well. We don't have any weapons but we can make a difference".
"Yes, we must prove that we do need any more battles. We must prove we are worthy of this peace".
"Then it's settled, I'm going to go help Prime Minister Cagali and the Gundams"
"I'm going too, there's no way I'm going to let this country Lord Uzumi died for be taken over".
"Same here, who's with us?"
"Count me in"
Everyone was now shouting out that they were ready to help. Murrue smiled when suddenly her ear piece sent a message.
"Murrue, civilians from all over Earth are boarding ships and plane to come to ORB and the ZAFT council has liberated Nataku" said Erika.
"Roger, these people need transport, bring her in" said Murrue. Above her Archangel descended from the clouds.
Six Black frames charged forward firing like crazy as Red Frame stood still, the pilots were too busy focused on winning their aim was off. Red Frame gripped the Gerbera straight and raised it above its head.
"Take this" shouted Lowe and Red Frame brought the sword down on the Black Frames and cut numerous parts off. Several suits had fired all their shield missiles, Akatsuki at once fired all its fire power on the missiles which exploded at once, a few got through but Mu dodged out of the way.
Justice and M1 were now fighting in the skies. Athrun had realised the separate back part of Justice which drew the attention of a few Black Frames which followed it allowing M1 one to shoot the suits down with its right hand which was still working, the left had been shot off during battle.
Two Black Frames grabbed Strike Rouge and tried to pin the suit down. Cagali snarled.
"You dare attack the PRIME MINISTER OF ORB?" she yelled and shot one Black Frame in the arm which it fall to the ground and cut the face off another one and kicked it to the ground. Strike Gundam had used its claw to grab another Black Frame and was using it like a mace to knock down attack suits. However more Frames seemed to appearing from everywhere.
With a mighty cry from Lowe Red Frame swiped and took down three suits but from the left several shots hit Red Frame forcing the suit backwards.
"Damn they just keep coming" snarled Lowe, however Red Frame stepped forward and held its blade above its head and then charged forward at full force.
"HERE I COME" yelled Lowe as he charged right into the suits.
Rouge had dropped its rifle which was out of power and drew another sabre and held them as flying Black Frames came towards.
"Looks like it's another losing battle" said Cagali as Rouge flew upwards and joined Justice in fighting them off.
At the coast the tide had gone in and more of the beach was revealed. As the water vanished the top half of Freedom appeared lying on its back. Kira was still quiet and had not said a thing for ages. Suddenly from outside he heard a familiar sound, opening his eyes hr opened the hatch of Freedom Tori flew in and perched on his master's shoulder.
"Is she okay?" he asked, Tori nodded and Kira smiled then his face went serious as he closed the hatch and turned Freedom on. The Phase Shift armour ignited and Freedom's eyes lit up.
"Freedom, can you move?" asked Kira. Slowly but sure Freedom placed its hands on the sand and pushed itself up. Its body stretched and its back weapons spread out. The computer in the cockpit showed all green and Kira closed his eyes.
"Okay, let's make this our final fight" he said and pushed the flight power to max.
With an extra 30 Black Frames now attacking from the air and 20 more from the ground the small group were being closed in. Justice had been forced to fly down and was now using its one remaining full powered sabre to fight on. Rouge was still using both blades to fight on but had disconnected to the Flight pack which had been damaged. Akatsuki was now down to a beam rifle and shield to fight back. Red Frame, Strike and M1 too were on their last legs. Red Frame was beat up but still fighting while Strike only had the Strike sword left and was nearly depleted of Phase Armour energy.
"Guys listen I'll hold them off, get out of here" shouted Athrun as Justice took down three more Black Frames.
"What? Get out" shouted Cagali as a missile shot aimed for Milly and the M1 was stopped by Rouge throwing one of its sabres and running to M1's aide.
"If we were fighting to kill we would have been dead long ago. However we always had a sense of right and wrong. We learnt not to kill but only fight in defence. No matter what the odds are" said Dearka.
"But at this rate we'll die in vein" said Milly as she and Cagali charged forward.
"I promised myself I'd do my best to help bring peace. I got my Junk Tech pride on the line plus I would have died already if I was a killer" said Lowe as Red Frame swung its blade and cut down four more Black Frames and deflect beam sabres from the others as it was pushed back.
"We chose to fight today because have out own choices in life. That's why we were chosen for these Gundams. Because we like them desire to fight for something much more then victory. That's why we never surrender" said Mu as Akatsuki met Red Frame as they back away.
"And that's why there's no way I'm running. I will not let Rondo take ORB" said Cagali.
"But you'll die" said Milly.
"Hey relax, we're quite use to these losing battles" laughed Lowe.
"The reason I fought was because I wanted all this to stop. But this will not help peace, hatred and greed will just result in even more hatred and greed" said Lacus.
"You're just upset because you're losing. I on the other hand will always be the victor" said Sazuka.
"Enemy Gundams have stopped fighting" reported a soldier, Sazuka smiled.
The Black Frames now had the group all together, Red Frame kept its sword and everyone help their weapons at the ready. However Justice, Strike and Strike Rouge had gone grey with their Phase Shift armour now depleted.
"I'm outta ideas, but our self-detonation devices could take out ¾ of their troops, what ya think?" asked Lowe.
"No if there are casualties it must be us only" said Athrun.
"Well what now then?" asked Milly. As she finished speaking everyone's radar detected a Gundam.
"Where?" asked Dearka.
"Above the manor" reported Cagali.
Everyone looked up and their mouths dropped. With back rifles, beam rifles combined to form a super rifle and Dragoon System aimed at the shielding Freedom hovered high over the area.
"Kira" gasped Mu.
"What is he doing?" asked Athrun.
Inside Freedom Kira and Tori looked as the target system pin-pointed where to fire.
"Target locked, all energy to weapons" said Kira.
"Lady Rondo, Strike Freedom is above the base, and we're online with the pilot" came the report.
"It's him" growled Rondo as Kira came on the screen.
"Kira" said Lacus with a smile on her face.
"Rondo Sahuka, your base is secure?" asked Kira.
"What are you planning Yamato?" asked Rondo glaring with anger.
"It's secured correct?" asked Kira.
"Of course it is, see for yourself just how powerless you fools are" laughed Sazuka.
"Roger that" said Kira, Sazuka gasped in shock, she never expected him to say that.
Kira pressed the fire button, all of Freedom's weapons fired creating a powerful white beam of energy that hit the very middle of the shielding. A huge explosion rocked the base and Black Frames near the area were sent flying in all directions and their armour nearly burnt off.
The force was also felt inside as everyone nearly fell over. The shield had been pushed back by the force creating a huge dip and caused a small malfunction in the shield control.
"He went at full power" gasped Cagali.
"If he keeps doing it he's gonna wreck Freedom" shouted Athrun
"Gather all the Black Frames here, shoot down Strike Freedom" Rondo yelled.
"Whu...whu what a ungrateful person, he's not going to accomplish anything" stuttered Sazuka who was shaking.
"Are you afraid?" asked Haro, Lacus was looking at Sazuka who just put on a brave face.
Kira fired again in the same spot, the force caused the Dragoon system to explode and the back blasters to explode or fall off leaving Freedom with just its beam rifle.
The force was much greater causing the lights to flicker. The shield was literally about to crack under the force of the blasts.
"How, HOW CAN THIS BE HAPPENING" yelled Rondo.
"Shield has lost 75 of its power. Freedom's shots are 100 accurate, if it's hit again in the same spot we're finished" reported a soldier.
"RONDO, Freedom is changing colour" reported another soldier. Freedom had turned to grey and the beam rifle was flicking at the front a bright white. Kira had sacrificed the Phase Shift armour power to the rifle for one last shot.
"STOP IT, don't you realise your dear Lacus Clyne is here?" asked Rondo with a crazed smile. Kira said nothing but looked at Lacus who smiled and nodded. Sazuka gasped, why Lacus was not afraid made no sense to her.
With flying Black Frames firing on Freedom Kira sighed and pressed the button. The Beam rifle fired a powerful blast which once again hit the shielding and this time tore through to the bottom. The manor shook and large bits of debris fell, from no where Yzak ran in and dived on both Lacus and Sazuka to shield them.
The Beam Rifle exploded; Freedom's arm was torn off as the Gundam began to fall from the sky.
"KIRA NO" yelled Athrun, The whole group looked in shock and prayed Kira was okay.
Inside the manor Yzak pushed the debris aside.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
"Yeah, your Yzak aren't you? asked Sazuka.
"Yes, and I personally will not allow someone as innocent as you follow the oath your father and brother took" said Yzak, Sazuka looked at Yzak wondering what he meant.
"Rondo, Amatu has appearing at the number 6 blockade"
"WHAT?" yelled Rondo.
Outside Amatu stood near the Black Frames with ORB and Earth citizens along with Waltfeld and Father Markio. The children at once had made for the front and everyone was shouting at the suits.
"There's no way we will obey you".
"We don't want anymore battles"
"We want to defend the peace by ourselves"
The Black Frames at once began backing away slowly not daring to harm anyone.
"Battles like these are no longer needed" said Shinn, "thanks to these people I can give up fighting. This Rey is my farewell to you old friend. And I'm sorry Uzumi for every doubting you".
"Its happening" laughed Milly.
"I knew they would not give up, never give up hope" said Cagali with a tear in her eye.
"So much for the self detonators" chuckled Athrun.
"WHO THE HELL ARE THOSE PEOPLE?" boomed Rondo as she ran to the screen with a crazed look in her eyes.
"Whilst Rau may have been a good soldier he wanted to destroy humanity. Humans are not pawns or sacrifices; it takes great courage to stand up for your beliefs and fight. That's why the Gundams became a symbol of freedom. It's not the victor but the person who fights who moves the people" said Yzak. Sazuka listened to every word, she never was told about her father when he was on the battlefield. She was learning who he really was.
Outside Freedom fell the ground, With Tori out first Kira clambered out of Freedom and even though he was weak made for the manor.
"THIS IS INSANE, HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN? I RONDO SAHAKU WILL BE THE DESTINED LEADER OF ORB" Rondo bellowed and turned to Sazuka. "MISS SAZUKA ASSUME YOUR POISTION AS THE GREAT LEADER OF EARTH".
"I am…victorious" said Sazuka nervously and stumbled forward.
"What?" said Lacus.
"She was being controlled by Rondo. Its true she is Rau's biological daughter but Rondo made sure she did as she wanted without her knowing" said Yzak and then ran in front of Sazuka and lifted his hand up.
"I apologise" he said but Lacus ran in and slapped Sazuka hard.
"Enough is enough Sazuka" she said, Sazuka held her cheek in shock. "It's time to accept the mistakes you made, you have your own life to live" she said.
"Stop right there Lacus Clyne, I will not allow my Sazuka to be brainwashed with your garbage" said Rondo holding a gun at Lacus.
"Do you dare shoot me, go ahead" said Lacus.
"Fine then I'll tell you truth before you die, the public WILL OBEY ME" shouted Rondo, Sazuka pushed Lacus aside and ran right into the bullet falling to the ground.
"SAZUKA" yelled Lacus as she fell to the ground to help Sazuka but Rondo was still aiming.
"She was just a puppet in this game, all that matters is my VICTORY" she yelled and aimed again.
"NOT TODAY" yelled Yzak pulling out his gun.
A shot rang out and Rondo fell to the floor with a bullet through her head. One soldier stood with a smoking gun in his hand shaking like mad.
"I have killed the rebel Rondo" he said placing his gun back. "I apologise for ever betraying Lord Uzumi" with that he saluted, the other soldiers followed.
Lacus and Yzak looked at Sazuka who was still alive.
"Lacus I was mistaken…I'm so sorry" she said nearly in tears.
"Sazuka please hold on" said Lacus.
"I help you forget your pain"
Everyone looked to see Kira holding a gun towards Sazuka.
"I thank you" sighed Sazuka and closed her eyes. Kira pulled the trigger, no bullet came out but Sazuka fell asleep, Yzak caught her head.
"I have killed Sazuka, the last child of my enemy" said Kira who was shaking and slowly dropping. "I will…never fight again, I…don't…have to".
Lacus darted at Kira and caught him as he fell to the ground. He too fell to sleep but Lacus smiled and cradled him in her arms planting a kiss on his head. Yzak ordered Sazuka to be taking to the medics at once and no one argued.
"It's all over" whispered Lacus, Tori and Haro joined her as they looked at Kira who sighed.
Outside soldiers were burning their weapons and arm bands which had the symbol on it. Many civilians helped and everyone watched the fire burn. Amatu looked on with Shinn sitting on its shoulder. It was truly over.
Next day Kira, Lacus and the others had their Gundams and the Black Frames all together in one are on a remote island. From the bridge of Archangel they looked. The only people not there were Dearka and Milly. Red Frame was in the middle at the front with its sword pointing upwards.
"Well its goodbye for real buddy" sighed Lowe as he hit the button. In a huge light nearly blinded everyone as the Mobile suits exploded and disappeared forever.
"Well what now for us?" asked Athrun.
"Well ORB is going to need some more help. We could use some assistance in repairs" said Cagali.
"Plus someone needs to keep Nataku in order" said Mu.
"Guess it does not matter really, what matters is that we now have a place to call home. A peaceful one" said Lowe.
"Yeah your right" chuckled Murrue and everyone looked out at the smoke where their old comrades once stood.
In a forest in ORB Amatu too was self-detonated whilst Shinn and Luna watched from a nearby mountain.
"Gold Frame, may your rest in peace" Shinn said with a sigh, Luna smiled and held his hand.
"Dearka and Milly have disappeared, so what ya say wanna come work with me?" she asked.
"As an Eagle?" asked Shinn and smiled, "why not?"
In space a lone shuttle left Earth.
"Are you sure about this, Heliopolis 2 is still far from completion" said Milly.
"It's something Kira has been working on and that's why I think it's only fair I help out in some way. You sure bout this?" asked Dearka. Milly smiled and kissed him on the cheek. She was going no matter what he said.
C.E 74, peace on Earth has finally returned. And from that day forth weapons known as Mobile Suits including the Gundams were never seen again.
