Athrun, 1200 hours, April 14th
Athrun was really unlucky from the day he was born. Too early, he came out, and not all of his senses were complete, such as his hearing, and reflexes. Yet he made do with what he had. Of better sight, smell, and touch then most. He became friends with Kira pretty much as soon as he could speak, along with Nicol, Dearka, Yzak, and Lacus. Yet Lacus was taken away soon after getting befriended.
When he and his friends were captured and brought to the CiC of the PoA, aka the Commander in Chief of the Pirates of Arfrindi, they were stubbornly defiant on what the EA, aka Earth Alliance, was planning. Athrun and his friends were part of the military council and planning of tactics and ways of winning the war.
When Athrun and co. saw Kira and Lacus, they were initially shocked. Kira was one of their best friends, yet here he was now, with the enemy. "HAHAHAHAHA," the CiC laughed. "You are now at the mercy of me! My force and my people, we will destroy the very thing you have created!" "What do you hate us for? And why so much?" Asked Athrun, enduring the long minutes of the CiC talking. "Why, you attack our colonies and nearly destroyed the whole Afrindi population! That's why we all hate you so much. Your people are now slaves to our new Empire." Athrun and co. looked sad, angry and utter disbelief.

Kira had Athrun and co. released into his room. They stared around and tried to go back out, away from this betrayal, away from this horror, away from this nightmare. Yet the guards outside just blocked the door, and took every punch, kick, and slap. From Miriallia, Nicol, Dearka, Yzak, Cagalli, Athrun, Mu, and Murrue. They stopped when they heard a voice. "It won't work, trying to knock 'em out." "Who said that?" Athrun asked for them all. "Over here," said the voice. Athrun and co. found the person whose voice was telling them. It was Rau. The one time CiC of the EA military.

The bolded words are of Kira's
Kira strode into the room. He noticed that the room was quiet. He turned and confronted Athrun who was trying to sneak up upon him. "What are you trying to pull Athrun?" Kira asked. "Just release us, and no one will get hurt." Replied Athrun, and with that, Cagalli, Nicol, Dearka, Yzak, Miriallia, Mu, and Murrue, surrounded Kira. "I can beat all of you, you know that. And if you try it, the whole ship, of 4000 people, will come here, and finish you off before you can finish me off." Kira said. And with that, flipped Athrun, and whispered to him, "This will come back to haunt you Athrun. Because I will tell you the true meaning of why I am here. I am not part of any alliance, or force. I am actually part of a group that will destroy the whole Empire. Will you join me?" "ARE YOU CRAZY!" Yelled Athrun, fully bewildered. "Well, most of the EA, and the PoA, and most of your friends are part of the group. It is up to you to decide who is, and who isn't part of the group." Athrun was so crazed that he kissed Cagalli. Well, more like pressed his lips against hers when he turned. She blushed, backed away in shock and yelled "WHAT THE FK ATHRUN? Athrun, in so much shock, didn't feel a thing when Cagalli slapped him in the face, punched in the stomach and chest, and kicked him in the crotch. Everyone else present winced. Cagalli stormed off, and into the room, just to get away from Athrun and stop everyone from seeing her blush.

Well, since Athrun was still in a state of shock, Cagalli took charge, since she was a born leader. She was conversing with Rau, when Athrun came out of his shocked shell. "So Rau, what do you know about Kira and his crew?" Cagalli asked, oblivious to Athrun. "All I know that he has a very loyal crew, very talented with everything, and nothing is happening against him. Maybe because he has no more enemies. Probably destroyed them all." Replied Rau. "What about escaping in the escape pods?" asked Athrun. "No, he would know about it before it happened, and would tell the crew to blow the pods, with you and you friends in it, to smithereens." Rau stopped suddenly when the speakers came on. "We have a prisoner sir. Please report to shuttle bay 5 for escape pod findings." And with that the group of 8 friends went off to shuttle bay 5.
They soon got there and saw a person emerge from the pod. A cylindrical pod, with 2 hatches, one on the top, the other on the front. The back held the thrusters. The person emerging was Kira, who purposely ignored them. Then a figure came into view. Yzak knew that shape really well. "SHILO!" He yelled. The person turned its head and it's eyes light up. The person ran out and rushed into Yzak's waiting arms. Shilo cried and sobbed. "I was so lonely…..in that pod……all alone……no one to hold or love…….or make love with….." Shilo sobbed out. "What were you doing in there?" Yzak asked. Before she could answer, the answer came up. "The colonies are fighting each other." "How do you know?" Asked the group of now 9. "We are at a ZAFT colony. And it is burning. That's where we found the pod," then Kira added in a whisper, "The War of the Colonies has begun."
