Chapter Two: ORB back in power
It was a dismal cloudy in the PLANT Juliouse 8. People go by their daily bussiness, shopping, viseting friends, hanging out. It was hard to believe that two years ago, they went by each day wondering if they were going to be attacked. Former hatred for the "despised naturals" had disappeared being replaced with a feeling of pity and forgiveness. After Patrick Zala it all seemed so blurred…why were they fighting anyway? The bloody valentine? They had exacted revenge before many times. On the nation or ORB as well. Yet some refused to rest before the naturals had gone. Now Patrick Zala rests in a jail cell, on poor food and bad water to drink. Quite a lax and gentle punishment, in truth, for the crime he commited on the "damn natural scum" as he so fondly calls them. Mr.Zala had no visetors…even his own son who was had abandoned him out of shame. His own son didn't want to be his family anymore. He lived in heliopoless, where the "babaric naturals" resided. If only he was free…little did he know…anyone know except a few…that it was Athrun who had convinced the coordinaters to let Patrick live. The last favor he would ever do for his father.
Now the PLANT kept a weary eye on the Blue Cosmo's. They knew that they were preparing to attack. When, they could not say. But they were prepared, prepared for war. But not against naturals..only against the Blue Cosmo's. They would not attack, only defend and try not to kill. But war is war no matter how limited you try to keep it. They did not alert public as they would panic…or the unwanted behavior that took place 2 years ago would resume.
Currently, the new chairman or PLANT Dearka Elthman sat back and stared off into space. It was quite a boring day, so to say, and nothing interesting had happened. (Yzak: Okay….Dearka as chairman? Are you out of your mind? He's worse then the creepy Zala dude!)
Such were most days here in PLANT…boring. Most days were sunny, infact. With the exception of today, the anniversary of earth's demise. The least PLANT could do was to offer a cloudy day. It was to rain later on today.
Suddenly a young man burst into the room. Nicol Amarfi looked at his friend and superior seriously.
"Mr.Amarfi," greeted Dearka, surprised to see him. "Is anything wrong? You look quite pale. Have you been sniffing the white out too long?" (Yzak: Knew he would day something like that!)
"Very funny, Mr.Elthman," said Nicol looking quizzically at Dearka. "But I have come to inform you of an attack by the Blue Cosmo's, sir!"(Yzak: Just like Nicol….he can never ignore or get mad or strict.)
"Blue Cosmo's?" Dearka asked, straightening. "Very well. Armada's going to get it. Gather troops, get the old ZAFT force together. We'll push them out, and we will suceed. I wasn't elected chairman for my good looks alone!" (Yzak: Why did PLANT elect Dearka as chairman anyway? The girls drool over me not him!)
"Very well, Mr.Elthman!" Nicol slowly scribbled down his orders and walked briskly out of the room. Letting out a deep sigh, Dearka turned on his computer. He got images from all through PLANT. He searched Janius 1, Febius 2, Marius 3, Aprilius 4, Mayius 5, Decius 6, and Julius 8. Sure enough, the attack was in Julius 8. Blue Cosmo's poured in from all enterance's. As if rehearsed, the ground began shaking as the fight began. Swiftly, he called Ezaria Joule and her son, his best friend Yzak to the room. (Yzak: YAY! I make my appearance! FINALLY!)
The two figures entered hurredly and stood at the desk. "Mrs.Joule, please order an evacuation. Also, look for a liable spot to put the citzens of Julius 8. Mr.Joule, your in control of the forces in the battle and getting people out safely. Understood? Good. You are now dismissed!"
Yzak and Ezaria walked swiftly out of the room. Dearka continued to moniter his situation, before being rushed out of the room and into an escape pod himshelf.
Outside, Blue Cosmo's fled into the space colony. Civilians screamed and made their way to the shelters. ZAFT launched it's mobile suits and soon there was a huge battle taking place. But ZAFT managed to hold the Blue Cosmo's off as civilians escaped.
But the Blue Cosmo's true intentions were not realized. The Blue Cosmo's were intending to kill coordinaters off slowly. First they would destroy Julius 8, force the people to evacuate, find a home, possibly, as they hoped, among the naturals. There, as they hoped, the naturals would treat them coldly. Then, they would pay for the mistake of destroying earth! Rules and laws would be enforced against them…oh, they'd suffer!
Next they'd send out the experianced forces….and attack Decius 6. But it would be different…they would not have to be evacuated. Technically speaking. Only enough would escape to live in Mayius 5. Decius would be destroyed. Then the coordinaters in natural land would protest, disobey, cause utter chaos. By then the tensions would "escelate" into a war just as they had before. Which would end in the Blue Cosmo's victery. So the weaker forces fought against ZAFT as hard as they could. Failed. Died. Won. It all happened.
But most of Julius's population escaped, and headed, as "planned" to heliopoless.
With Kira and the gangThe blonde stared deeply into his violet eyes. "So your Kira Yamato, Lacus has told me loads about you!"
"I see," Kira said somewhat unnerved. "And how do you know Lacus, exactly?"
"Oh," said Cagalli smiling more broadly. "Me and her were childhood friends! She couldn't tell you guys or anything because, I am the daughter of the late Lord Uzumi Nara Attha…"
Kira, in spite of himself, gasped.
"That means you a princess!" Athrun said not taking his eyes off the girl.
"Yeah," she said nodding. "But I don't want to hide anymore. Actually, I want to make heliopoless a land of ORB. You know, if ORB comes back into power here…there is a greater chance of overcoming the Blue Cosmo's. Apparently, I'm the only one who can make that happen. Either that, or I have to join the Blue Cosmo's. They want me to join them. But I refused. But according to Mana, Mrs.Simmons, and Kisaka, anyway. I'm the princess of ORB, and I can't be a civilian for the rest of my life…"
"I see," said Kira. "But your quite open to us for someone who's only known us for 5 minutes…"
Cagalli smiled. "Tech., I've heard a lot about you to consider you a total stranger…and I want the public to know this."
Kira smiled back. "Want to walk to school with us? Your in the natural section, but we can still see each other at lunch if we want to."
"Sure," agreed Caggalli and they started walking at a faster pace as they were beginning to be late. As soon as they left Sunset Ave., the local TV's turned on for a broadcast.
"Julius 8 has been destroyed," came the voice of Mellisa Ernn, the lead reporter for Helipoless. The people stopped and instantly turned towards the large screen all silent and paying attention.
"The attacker were the Blue Cosmo's," continued Mrs.Ernn. (Yzak: Yeah we can tell! What kind of stupid woman is this Ernn?)
"However, almost everybody escaped unhurt, but shaken. They are currently looking for a place to tale refuge. As Heliopoless has many unhabbited areas, we are considering offering some of them, only as much as could fit, a home in heliopoless. We cannot do this without your report so please vote, and they should only arrive if the votes show positive. Also, with this loss, PLANT is temporarily unable to provide their usual support. So, it is possible, that Heliopoless well become it's own colony, nation. But it's a difficult situation…having both coorinater, possibly, and natural, like us. We would be like the late nation ORB. If anybody should have any ideas, please tell us!" With that the broadcast was over and the screen was blank. The crowd burst into talking all at once. (Yzak: This is so predictable! Just make another ORB already, people!)
"Wait a minute," said Kira. "Why should we have a nation like ORB…if we could have ORB again?"
Everyone looked at him strangely. "But we don't know anything about ORB! How it ran anyways. Most ORB citizins didn't escape from ORB…and we don't know where Miss.Attha is, either. She could be with the Blue Cosmo's for all we know! But other then that, it's a great idea!"
Caggalli turned deep red. "I am Cagalli Yula Attha," she said quietly. Everyone stared at her. "You? But….how? Why should we believe you?"
"I am," said Cagalli bolder. "This young man, who should not have said that…he'll pay for it later, is Kira Yamato."
Many people were shocked…for some strange reason. "Kira Yamato…Cagalli Yula Attha? They met?"
Cagalli, having heard all the babble stomped her foot against the road. "Why is me meeting Kira something bad? This is just so confusing! Can somebody explain this to me? Anyone?" (Yzak: Yes! Go Cagalli! Show them what your made of!)
An elderly man turned in her direction. "You will find out soon," he says gently. "Right now we must present your idea to the council."
They did. The council was overwhelmed when a DNA sample showed she was indeed, Cagalli Yula Attha. Also accompanied by Kira Yamato. The "Striker Twins" as they were known as…had met. A feat their family had been trying to prevent with everything they had.
All the votes turned positive, and ina few weeks, with Cagalli filling them all in on ORB's functions and laws and such, ORB would come back in power.
As each day grew by, Cagalli grew to like Kira Yamato very much. He was very "lax" about things. Yet seriouse…and there was this side of him, a dark sorrow filled side, that she could not understand. She figured she'd figure it out once they got to know each other. She also intended on finding out what the big deal was with her meeting Kira. But, determined to find out, she now dragged Kira by his arm, to her house, Athrun and Lacus in close pursuit.
The coordinaters had arrived well over a week ago, and now had settled in the somewhat large places that were unhabbited. The land was now truly "a land of peace", coordinater and naturals getting along like sisters and brothers. (Yzak: Sure. They fight a war and after all that jazz, they get along. Makes sense…NOT!)
"Goodafternoon, Mana!" Cagalli said entering the house.
Mana smiled at her. "Who are your friends?"
"This is Lacus Clyne, you'll remember her, Athrun Zala, he's really nice, and last but not least Kira Yamato…he's mysteriouse."
Mana tried to smile but failed miserably. "Kira Yamato…you say?"
TBCMy first big cliffy. I'll update soon, don't worry.
