"I can't believe this," Athrun was slumping down beside his friend's locker – his dead friend. "How could Kira do this? How could he kill Nicol?" He was sobbing now, his shoulders sagging and his hands clutched Nicol's piano sheets. "I should have saved him; I could have saved him… if I killed Kira before… Nicol would still be alive… he doesn't deserve to die." His eyes flashed in anger. "I won't let him do anymore damage than he already has. I WILL kill him… the next time we meet."

Kira sat silently in front of the Strike, tears slowly streaming down his face. "I didn't want to kill that boy… I shouldn't have killed him." Birdy landed on his shoulder as if he knew that his owner was sad. Kira's mind flashed to Andrew Watfeldt, and his words to him. "But I don't want to kill Athrun… I won't kill him… I can't! He's my best friend, I can't do this, and I've killed enough people."

He stood up and wiped his eyes. "I'm so sorry, Athrun. I didn't mean it for this to happen…" Kira turned and left, knowing that Athrun would come back for revenge, and if Athrun didn't, he knew that Duel's pilot would.

He stumbled around Archangel's hallways, until he accidentally bumped into somebody. "I'm sorry…" Kira mumbled apologetically. Looking up, he saw Flay staring at him worriedly.

"Are you alright?" she asked him, steadying him.

"I'm fine," Kira managed a tight smile. "Sorry, I want to get some sleep, if you excuse me." He sidestepped out of her grasp and ran towards his quarters.

Flay stared after him, worry was evident in her eyes. "I know I should hate him and the whole entire Coordinator race, but I think he's beginning to grow on me. I feel something for him…" she cast her eyes down, feeling guilty. "Maybe I should tell him… after he has his rest, he did look tired."

Deciding she should leave some water and food beside on Kira's desk so he would remember to eat, she left for the cafeteria.

Flay arrived at Kira's quarters, and wasn't that surprised when she found him sleeping deeply. She quietly put down the food and drink on his desk plus a note telling him to meet her at her own quarters when he woke up and after he ate.

She quietly planted a small kiss on his head. "Sweet dreams, Kira." Flay left quietly and went to her quarters to wait for him.

Kira woke up suddenly. Groaning, he stretched and got out of bed. He was about to get out of bed when he noticed the food and drink on his desk, plus what looked like a note. He sat down and started eating while reading the note.

Dear Kira,

I hope you find this before you leave your room after you sleep. I have something really important to tell you in person. I wanted to tell you in the hallway, but you did seem very tired.

Meet me in my quarters after you've ate the food I got you. You haven't eaten since yesterday.

Sincerely,

Flay

Kira finished the food quickly, and was about to head out when the Captain's voice yelled over the speakers.

"Level one battle stations! All personnel to Level one battle stations immediately!" Her voice was urgent, and Kira immediately knew that it was Athrun and the others.

He ran towards his locker and was stopped by Flay. "Kira…" she grabbed his hand. Kira shook it off urgently.

"We'll talk after, I promise," he said quietly and took off again. As quickly as his Coordinator skills could let him, he put on his flight suit and was in the Strike in record time.

Miriallia's face met Kira's inside Strike's cockpit. "It's the same old unit. We'll equip the Aile Striker Pack. All systems green, prepare for launch." And as an afterthought, she added quietly. "Be careful, Kira."

"I will," he answered. Then he said, louder. "Kira Yamato, Strike, let's go!" With that, he blasted into the battle of his life…

Kira groaned as he narrowly dodged the attack by the Aegis. His shield was already destroyed, and his beam rifle had been chopped in half by Athrun, who wasn't holding anything back because of his fury.

Kira grunted when one of Aegis' beam sabers managed to cut of one of Strike's legs. "If this keeps up, I'll be dead meat in no time… Athrun…" He skillfully dodged another assault, and used his beam saber and successfully chopped off Aegis' right arm.

"Stop this, Athrun!" Kira blocked Aegis' beam saber with his own.

"Why should I?" Athrun screamed. "You didn't stop when you MURDERED Nicol!" Athrun continued his assault.

And the battle went on and on… and neither side seemed to want to give up…

XXXXXXX

Tolle Koenig grimaced as he watched his friend get pummeled by the Aegis. "That's it! I can't just stand here and watch… hold on, Kira!" He bravely stood up. "I'm going out! Kira will die if someone doesn't help him!"

"Hold it, ensign Koenig!" Captain Ramius said. But Tolle ignored her and ran towards the Skygrasper.

"Tolle!" Miriallia said with surprise.

"I'll be fine, Mir," Tolle called back.

XXXXXXXXX

Kira was getting frustrated. The Strike was running out of power, and he knew the Aegis was too. "Athrun… I don't want to kill you! Stop it!"

"Too bad, because I want to!" Athrun snarled back. Kira winced at his best friend – no - his ex-best friend's tone and words. The Aegis slammed the Strike into the ground and was preparing for the final attack, by transforming into the mobile armor, and was going to use plasma cannon.

Kira braced himself for his death and the pain. "KIRA!" A familiar voice screamed in panic.

Kira's eyes opened in surprise. "Tolle! What's he doing here!" "Tolle! No! Stay back!"

The Skygrasper shot a missile at the Aegis, forcing it to transform back to its Gundam form. The Aegis shot its shield at the Skygrasper.

"Tolle!" Kira screamed out in agony. "NO! Not Tolle, not him! Please!" Time seemed to slow down for Kira as he saw the shield crash into the plane… as he saw Tolle's helmet fall out of the Skygrasper… as he saw his closest friend die.

"No…!" Tears fell rapidly from Kira's violet eyes. "TOLLE!" In his mind's eye, he could see a purple seed fall and shatter, and in a sudden, everything was calm around him. He knew his mission now… to kill Athrun Zala.

"DIE!" The words seemed to flow from Kira's mouth, and he charged towards the Aegis. He activated his beam saber and chopped off the Aegis' head. Athrun was having a hard time fighting back Kira in his seed mode. At last, the Aegis managed to get away enough, and Athrun felt the adrenaline pumping in his blood, he hardly remembered that the person he wanted to kill used to be a person he would spend days after days laughing with.

"I will exterminate you!" Athrun screamed back. He could see a green seed fall and shatter. He opened his crystallized eyes, everything was so clear now. He was faster, smarter, better at everything. And now a plan popped in his head.

The Aegis charged suddenly, and changed into the mobile armor mode. Athrun captured the Strike with the mobile armors' spider looking legs. Kira's crystallized eyes widened with surprise. "What's he doing!"

Kira saw Athrun getting out of the cockpit and using his flight suit to 'fly' away, before realizing what was happening. "He's self-destructing the Aegis…" Fire consumed his vision, and Kira screamed as he could feel it burning him, he could feel as the glass break and slam into his body… then he felt nothing.

When Kira opened his eyes, all he saw was white. "Am I dead..?"

A gentle voice chuckled. 'No, you're not dead. Not yet, you're too important to this world.' Kira looked around for the voice. It sounded so familiar.

"Tolle…" Kira blinked.

'Yeah, it's me,' A ghostly figure of Tolle appeared.

"How..?"

'Listen to me, I'm sorry this ever happened… and I'm sorry that I have to do this, but it's necessary,' Tolle said apologetically.

"What are you talking about?" Kira said, confused.

'Maybe one day, you'll know the answer… if you ever remember this,' Tolle replied mysteriously.

"What do you mean? Tolle?" Kira asked when suddenly Tolle's figure suddenly disappeared. The whiteness faded away into darkness. Kira could feel all the pain return to him in a full blast, along with a pounding headache that seemed to stand out. It felt as if somebody was forcefully taking something away from him… something precious, but it was unknown to him.

Then he felt as if he was falling… falling and suddenly he felt an impact and then darkness consumed him.
