Phase 14: The Secret Observation
Minerva
Shinn was summoned to Yzak's office in a few days time in urgency. Dearka mentioned he had something to show Shinn. He personally hoped that Shinn would return to ZAFT. He was a talent not to be wasted. Yzak wasn't in the office as he was attending to something.
Shinn was feeling baffled for being summoned to the office but yet the captain was not around. Dearka led him to the hangar where the mobile suits were stored. Shinn could see Silhouette packs belonging to the Impulse Gundam slacked in respective level in the hangar as it used to. Dearka led him to a darker corner where another mobile suit was located.
Yzak was waiting for the both of them in that particular corner reading the finalized manual of the model.
"Yzak, I had brought him here as instructed." Without saying a single word, Yzak passed Shinn the manual he was holding.
"That's the one you requested us to build, Asuka!" Yzak said in an unhappy tone.
Shinn scanned through the manual and was surprised by the power it wielded.
"You rebuilt that?" Shinn exclaimed ignoring Yzak's explanation which pissed Yzak off.
"I had orders to rebuild your Destiny Gundam which was severely damaged by HIM during the last war. Since I accepted your request, I ordered the Destiny Gundam to be upgraded and rebuilt. " Yzak started his rattling.
"ZGMF-X22A: Liberate Destiny named after the Destiny and the Freedom Gundam. Liberate Destiny was built using the remains of the Destiny damaged by the Infinite Justice and the Strike Freedom Gundam destroyed previously. This mobile suit basically is a combination of the both Gundam. It was powered by the N-Jammer canceller equipped with the undamaged dragoon and it possessed the HiMAT system left by the Strike Freedom. Other than that, the rest of the armaments were built according to your previous battle data in his Destiny Gundam. Its weaponry includes standard beam rifle, forearm-mounted shield, and head-mounted CIWS as well as the palm-mounted beam cannons, variable beam boomerang-sabers, wrist-mounted beam shields as well as his favourite weapon: an anti-ship sword." Yzak explained impatiently while Shinn was admiring the mobile suit in awe.
"ASUKA!" Yzak yelled. "Are you listening to me?"
"Awesome! With this I can fight a battle properly." Shinn commented eagerly.
"Kisama!" Yzak was going to punch Shinn for his childishness while Dearka tried to stop him from doing that. Yzak finally calmed down.
"Are you sure you want to pilot it?" Yzak felt uneasiness after reading the unit's finalized manual. Shinn nodded in determination. Yzak had wanted to yell at him but he spoke in a serious tone suddenly, "As long as you are piloting it, you are not to lose any battle, or not only you and I or URANUS, the people you want to protect will be goner." He eyed Shinn sternly.
Yeah. I'll not lose for everyone's sake. But you know that's a burden." Shinn folded his arms recalling the number of deaths he had witnessed. Yzak got flared up and started yelling again.
"Yeah, I understand. Don't worry. It won't be just me piloting." Shinn walked off with that leaving Yzak confused trying to figure out his last sentence.
"Kisama!" Yzak started hollering once again at his attitude as he watched Shinn giving him a wave.
"Kira-san will be right by my side, right?" Shinn smiled at Torii on his shoulders.
Underwater near the Suez border
Kazuki Minamoto was watching the transmission from the inside of the base. He smiled at the devices he had invented. From a solar and lunar detector they will detect their current location from location of the sun and the moon by adjusting the exact time in the little watch installed. It was a portable palmtop.
Duplicating the function of sensing as a Newtype, he came up with a binocular which functioned like an x-ray. Kazuki was able to see through what was going on in the base without being known.
Kzauki was deep in thought after watching battles and battles since the first war. It was never-ending. As one of the remaining human being with Newtype genes, he had to disguise his presence just like his partners.
Rescuing casualties was his forte by using his life detector. No matter how deep the casualties could have been buried, if the person was still alive his life detector would detect it as long as one was not brain dead. He had rescued countless of people in secret. However, his main priority was to find his own kind which would aid him to oppose URANUS which he used to be in. He had a lot of disagreement with the leader, the secret old man who adopted him when he decided to alter the memories of the survivors.
"Stanley." Kazuki wished Stanley would leave with him. Stanley didn't know about old man's plan and Kazuki didn't want to destroy his image of his saviour.
Kazuki leaned back and decided he would stop here today and headed back to the base which was ran by his own kind. Meanwhile, they would watch every battle that came along. To defeat one enemy, they had to know their enemy well. They called themselves as the observers of the war, the War Gazers.
Kazuki returned to his base and was greeted by his new friend whom he rescued months ago.
"Rey-san, how are you today?" He asked as a guy with long blonde hair with a long scar extended from his forehead to the right of his eyes turned his revolving chair around to face him.
Kingdom of Scandinavia
Cagalli had fully recovered after some days of recuperating with Athrun by her side. Cagalli could sense his loneliness within him although he had her. He always looked so stressed up when she saw Athrun busy with his Infinite Justice when she visited him in the hangar of the Archangel.
The repair of the Archangel was carried out in full scale. Cagalli spotted a group of the maintenance crews sitting by the side instead of helping out. She stood behind them and stopped in her step.
"What do you think if we disembark from here? Nothing good will come out of it. We are of no match to the URANUS." A crew spoke up in despondence.
"Just look at the state Akatsuki and the Infinite Justice when they returned we'll know." Another one said.
"Our general is probably MIA. The head crest of the Strike Freedom was found isn't it? Even Kira-sama is not their match."
Cagalli gasped for her breath when she heard it. No one had updated her about Kira. She cleared her throat and grabbed the collar of the crew who said that of her brother.
"Cagalli-sama." Kisaka arrived pulling her away when she was about to punch him. She demanded Kisaka to tell her if that was the truth. Kisaka just nodded without saying anything. Athrun was observing them at the back. He was alerted by the conflict between Cagalli and the crew.
Without saying a single word, Athrun pulled Cagalli along. They had to attend a meeting with the officials of Kingdom of Scandinavia. They had agreed to lend them a hand for the coming battles.
"But Kira…" "Kira and Lacus will be fine! I believe in them. Kira, he just have to be safe." Athrun replied with confidence beaming of tears in his eyes pulling her into the meeting room. Despite the hopelessness, he said that. They arrived in the meeting room where Murrue, Mwu and the higher-ups of the country were waiting for Cagalli for their discussion.
A/N: End of phase! I brought back Rey, yeah! Don't yell at me. That's part of my plot. Please R&R. See you next time!
