REDEMPTION

The blasts collided and an immense explosion ripped through the air. "whoa…" said Dearka, watching the battle on-screen.

The whole room tensed, waiting to see who emerged form the flames of battle. A shadow appeared, and the Wing Gundam, burning and charred, stepped out of the fames, sword in hand. Everyone gasped. "Kira?" cried Lacus, pushing to the front to see the glass screen. Her tears ran onto the glass as she watched the Wing Stand up and turn to face the flames.

"Where is he?" asked Yoshi, "The Freedom isn't in the hangar!"

"WHAT?" everyone screamed. Turning to face Yoshi.

All of a sudden, a blast erupted on the screen behind them. Five beams ripped through the flames, two hitting the Wing, obliterating its shield and arm. Two bright pink lines erupted out of the flames, followed by the Freedom. The wing, which due to damage had lost most of it's mobility, was not match for the Freedom and Kira in SEED. Kira moved quickly, and with one final slash finished the battle, and the Wing Gundam.

Athrun sighed. "Well that was unnerving." He commented.

"Don't have top look far to notice that." Snapped Yzak, looking at Lacus.

"Lay off Yzak, she was just worried about Kira." Dearka countered.

"Yea, well we still have some more battles for him to fight, so let's all watch." Yzak retorted.

"Stop it, all of you!" yelled Lacus.

All three boys stopped arguing and looked at the songstress. Seeing that they had stopped, Lacus turned to Yoshiko, and asked "Is it not true that you said that this had been tested before?"

'Yes, this is true." Said Yoshi, knowing exactly where she was going with this.

"May we meet the pilot, and might you tell us what Mobile suit you used?"

"You may meet the pilot. He is currently in the C-wing of the building. You may visit him. As for the Mobile suit, he used the XJ-116 Redemption, and no, you cannot view it, as it's location is… 'classified" Yoshiko responded.

"Very well, you may lead us to him then." Said Lacus, taking charge of the situation.

Yoshi walked out of the room and down a long hall, followed by Lacus, and the rest of the group slowly followed suit.

Far above Kira, the pilot of the white mobile suit watched the flames, he saw the freedom move swiftly around the blast, and head it off with it's own shots , so that it would come out undamaged. He also saw the freedom finish the Wing in one slash, and watched Kira pilot in the SEED. "impressive…" said the pilot.

Meanwhile, Kira arrived in the black area again, once again with Heero standing before him, this time in the Wing Zero. "We meet again, Kira. But I think this time you wont have it so easily." Said Heero

"I'm willing to take you up on that." Kira challenged, determined to beat Heero this time.

"I'm sure you are." Said Heero in monotone, and charged in with his beam saber at the ready.

Unprepared for the speed of the onslaught, Kira was forced back, blocking and dodging a ferocious set of slashed made by the Wing Zero. The wing Zero suddenly fell back, whipped out a beam rifle, and fired. Kira put up his shield to fend off the immense blast, and managed to shoot one small shot through the sniper hole in his shield, before it was torn away in the blast. The small shot hit Heero's hand, and the gun flew across the black floor, skidding to a halt against one of the pedestals. Wing grabbed it's second rifle, and met a large blast from the Freedom's cannons, resulting in an explosion. When the smoke cleared, the two emerged, the Wing with both guns in hand, and the Freedom held the Small gun ripped away in the blast loaded onto the back if it's skirt.

The freedom pulled out both swords and moved in. the Wing fired a blast, then another, but the Freedom moved around them with ease. The Freedom lifted it's melted shield, and held it up to block the third blast. Kira quickly activated the rift drive, and disappeared into the Rift. When the smoke cleared, there was no trace of the Freedom. "Where did he go?" asked Heero.

Kira was inside the Rift, surrounded by white again. A small amount of Heero's blast came through, and exploded into the white area. All of a sudden, Kira saw a gigantic, ornately designed Sword slash the blast in half, and following the sword, a white mobile suit appeared. The mobile suit charged Kira with amazing speed, and brought a downward slash at Kira's head, and a Red haired pilot, around Kira's age, yelled over the com. "THOSE WHO VIOLATE THE SANCTITY OF THE RIFT WILL BE DESTROYED!" he boomed.

Kira went into SEED, and managed to dodge the attack. He managed to move out of the way, and activated the Rift drive. "HALT" yelled the pilot, but Kira was already gone.

A bright flash exploded out of the pillar behind Heero, and it was followed by a double slash at the Wing. The Wing moved out of the way, Flew up wards under fire from the Freedom's cannons, and shot back downwards with the Double beam rifle. The blast was immense, and the Freedom countered with it's own large cannons, blocking with it's melted shield, and trying to fire around the beams. Four of the beams were caught in the blast, while the Fifth shot upwards, and blew the Wing Zero's face in half, taking its shield with it. The Blast finally ended, and Heero moved in on the Freedom, who had sustained damage on both armguards, and part of the crown had melted off in the heat of the beam. Kira knew he had no choice, he activated the Rift drive and moved out of the black room into the white space. He saw a black white dot heading straight towards his position in the Rift. Kira knew he had to move. He Ran, until he was under. He heard the whoosh of the White gundam, and he flew out of the Rift underneath the Wing zero. One4 upward slash chopped off an arm, but a huge blast consumed the freedom, and when the blast was over, Kira was nowhere to be seen.

Lacus walked down the White hall behind Yoshi. Medical workers scurried everywhere, and scientists in lab coats ran in and out of the doors. Yoshi stopped at a large black door, and the three walked into a white padded room, where a boy with long red hair that stuck out in spikes, earrings, and a scar like a teardrop coming down from his eye, sat in a large black cloak in the corner. "Who's there?" he asked.

"It's me, Kiro, these people are here to help you.

"Why, what can they do? The Rift will open, and the Angels of Apocalypse will emerge! TELL ME HOW WE CAN STOP THIS FATHER!"

"Ladies and Gentlemen," said Yoshiko, "Meet my son. The pilot of the Redemption."
