Chapter 4:A Hard Fought Battle
After launching from the eternal, Kira sent a transmission to the ZAFT ship asking them to call off the attack due to the civilian refugees. There was no response from ZAFT, so Kira in the freedom sped towards the battle. He fired three shots at the dual as he flew by it. The dual managed to avoid the shots.
"Who the hell is this guy?"said Yzak.
Kira saw that the strike was struggling to even move much less fight. The buster fired a shot at the freedom with its beam rifle. Kira blocked the shots with his shield as the aegis attacked with its beam saber. Kira blocked the saber with his saber. He fired his CIWS at the aegis' head, but it had little effect due to the aegis' phase shift armor.
As the freedom backed off, he fired his plasma cannons at the blitz. The blitz dodged and countered by firing its lancer darts at the freedom. Kira managed to avoid most of the darts, but one grazed the freedoms arm though it had little effect due to the phase shift armor. The dual came charging at the freedom with its beam saber in hand. It swung its saber at the torso of the freedom, but Kira blocked with his shield. Kira then attacked with his saber grazing the left side of the dual making a small cut in it.
Yzak said in a rage"DAMN YOU! WHY WON'T YOU JUST DIE!"
Athrun said "Yzak, calm down. You won't be able to focus if you're angry like that."
"Shut up Athrun, I can take care of myself." replied Yzak.
Dearka said "Oh man, we won't win if we are fighting with each other."
"Athrun is right Yzak, you should calm down." said Nicol to Yzak.
"Oh would you guys get off my back, I told you I can take care of myself." said Yzak.
Kira locked onto the four suits with the freedoms multi target tracking system and fired all of its weapons. The aegis, blitz, dual, and buster struggled to dodge all of the fire and recieved damage. After this, the ZAFT ship fired of flares to retreat and the four suits returned to their ship. Kira also returned to the eternal.
Afterwards, the eternal sent a transmission to the archangel saying that they only helped them to save the refugees. They also went on to say that they will take on the refugees and get them to a safe location. The archangel agreed to hand them over to the clyne faction.
Then, Lacus and Kira went to meet with the archangels captain Lt. Murrue Ramius to discuss certain issues. They warned Lt. Ramius that they will not help the archangel anymore than they already have and went back to the eternal. The two ships seperated and went in two different directions though the clyne faction still intended to keep an eye on the archangel.
