A/N- Thanks for all the reviews! I'm glad to see so many reactions for Mia's transformation… Although, it's a bit farfetched… Well, here's my update!

Disclaimer: Do not own Gundam Seed. I wish I did, because maybe Athrun and Cagalli ended up together.

Yawn. Azrael rubbed his eyes. Oh right. He was doing research when he fell asleep. Azrael looked at the time. Midnight… Time for action and this time, he won't mess up. He remembered the time where the Zala man caught him off guard.

Azrael looked into his closet and whipped on some clothes and took out a gun and some other weapons. "The time is near."

At 728 Heliopolis Street, amber eyes fluttered open, inside the many room-ed house.

"Ugh. Need some milk…" Cagalli muttered, while yawning. She climbed out of the fluffy fortress. The fiery blonde smoothened out the wrinkles on her pink bunny pajamas. The door creaked as she opened it.

Unknown to the bad tempered girl, emerald eyes were tracing after her.

"I have a bad feeling." The inky-haired man muttered. He grabbed a gun and hid it in his pocket.

Cagalli grabbed a glass and looked into the fridge.

Suddenly. A silver, shiny object was heading straight for the oblivious woman.

Athrun jumped out from where he was hiding.

What seemed like slow motion, Athrun was running with his hand outstretched and the object slowly headed towards Cagalli. She slowly turned her head, with her sunny hair flying behind her. Her eyes widened, when the object, a needle, was heading towards her heart. She let out a piercing scream.

Athrun pushed her out of the way. His eyes widened.

The struck man clutched his chest, where the needle pierced.

Then a whole shower of needles appeared.

Athrun's POV

No… Cagalli must live…

I used all my strength that was left. I grabbed the blonde-haired angel and wrapped my arms around her. I shut my eyes.

Cagalli's POV

Athrun…

I blushed at the embrace, but I froze when I looked over his shoulder. There were thousands of needles coming down. I saw Athrun smile weakly and hold me tighter.

Then, Athrun's eyes widened, just like when he was struck with one needle.

"No! Athrun!" I screamed.

My eyes were soaked with tears. Athrun moved his bloodied arm and pulled out a gun. He handed it to me and then collapsed.

I grabbed him and threw him behind a fallen table. I dodged the bullets that were raining down. I hid behind the tale and fired some of my own shots.

I spotted the light switch.

I ran up to it and flicked on the switch. The person shot at me was dressed in the usual black shirt and pants. How original. The person looked stunned for a minute. At that moment, I took a chance to shoot it in the legs. It fell off the tall wardrobe it was on.

"Woah, whoa, AH!" he yelled.

It's a he. It's the voice. Unless it's a manly girl. Is it? I peered at it. Yes, a man. I'm shocked.

Then, I glanced at Athrun. Angry tears ran down my face. I stomped over to the fallen assassin. The ski mask came off when I pulled it off.

"Muruta Azrael." I muttered.

Then his blue eyes shot open.

I stepped back, when he pulled out a gun and shoved mine away. He aimed…

There was a shot.

I looked down and spotted Muruta. Dead.

I looked ahead and spotted Kira, holding a smoking gun.

"Kira!" I screamed in happiness.

"What the hell happened down here?" Kira asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Someone… Him… Was about to kill… Athrun… And I…" I burst into tears. It wasn't like me to cry, but I was so… Stressed! Athrun came into my life and I am now on a roller coaster ride.

"Cagalli!" My brother yelled in distress. He helped me onto the couch.

"Don't worry about me. Athrun's in worst condition. Please, help him." I said.

He glanced at Athrun. Blood was pooled around Athrun.

"Oh my gosh." He picked up the phone and called the hospital and then the police. He yelled into the phone several times, in order to get the hospital to come here, during midnight. When they finally accepted the fact that he's not lying (Because, they usually get prank calls at midnight) and came here with an ambulance. As for the police, he just called for backup. I mean, geez, he was a cop. Well, so was I.

Later, I saw a group of people at the top of the stairs. There was the whole gang, staring right at them. Well, they had half opened eyes.

"Sorry Cagalli. I'm a heavy sleeper." Lacus confessed.

The others muttered in agreement. Kira rolled his eyes and helped the other officers, by telling them that I saw the whole thing. I nodded, when they asked me to come over and tell them what happened.

Eventually, I entered the ambulance that had Athrun in it.

A/N- I know this was pretty short for my standards… Oh well… Well, anyways, I made it for a program for advanced students and I am SO happy! YAY! My parents are jumping for joy. Well, it's tough, so if this story ACTUALLY makes it to next year, which I doubt, I would be updating less. My friend, Shining Star, is also in this program, and she's loaded with homework. Lucky me, I'm only going next year. Well, I'm done ranting! Review please!
