Hey Everyone. This is chapter 2. CAUTION Contains spoilers of GSD. For those who haven't seen GSD read in your own risk. Let me say a few things before letting you read:

Shinn knows Mwu is Neo, but he just likes to call him Neo. (only in my fanfic)

I added some places where u play some music and read. I hope it enhances the reading performance.

I forgot to put a disclaimer for the first chapter. Sorry about that.

I slept till 11 in the morning the following day. I had to get up because the sun was shining directly on my face. Stupid window… I need to get some blinds. I slowly walked into the bathroom to take a shower, brush my teeth… yea you get the idea. I went downstairs to the living room to see if my friends are there.

"Guys, where are you?" I shouted.

No response. I went to the kitchen and on the kitchen table was a note. It said:


To Shinn,

We all went shopping; there is some food at the table if you are hungry. Please stay safe ok?

Lacus, Kira, Athrun, Cagalli, Dearka and Milly


"Well… I guess I have the house to myself…" I said

There was nothing to do in the mansion. I found some bread and cheese on the kitchen table and ate it all. Damn I'm starving. I turned on the television to see if there were any good shows on. Its all news… news… news… cartoons… sports… and…… more news. It is such a boring place to live in this mansion.

I checked the time, its noon. I put on my civilian clothes, grabbed Mayu's cell phone and exit the mansion to go have a walk at the beach.

XOXOX

The rest of the gang returned 15 minutes after Shinn left the building.

"Shinn?" Lacus called

"Shinn, are you there?" Athrun exclaimed

No response…

"Hmm I wonder where he could be" Milly smiled evilly, "Kira, Check to see if Shinn is… out at the beach"

"Ok Milly," Kira responded. He walked to the balcony of the mansion and looked outside. To the left where the sands meet the ocean sat a dark haired boy. He walked back to where the gang is.

"Shinn is outside on the beach; shall we go and visit him?" Kira asked

"Yes please… I really want to find out what is wrong with poor Shinn" Lacus replied

"Alright let's drop our stuff and let's head towards the beach!" Cagalli exclaimed dragging Athrun along

XOXOX

I sat on the floor playing with the sand. The ocean breeze gently touching my face… it feels so comfortable. The sounds of the waves coming to shore reminds me of the times where I saved Stellar from drowning. It was the first time we actually met and talked… I will never forget that day…

I found a stick nearby me. It's really thin and sharp. I decided to draw a picture on the wet, sandy surface. I drew a boy with hair exactly like mines; he had a slim body, wearing clothes exactly like the one I'm wearing. Beside the boy, I drew a girl; she had a slim body, short wavy hair, and wearing a beautiful dress. They are both holding hands, dancing happily on the sandy surface. The waves suddenly increased and erased the picture. The only thing that is left of it is the boy… the girl is completely erased.

I grabbed some sand and threw it towards the ocean. Right now… I don't know what to do. I'm still wondering about what Stellar said to me yesterday night. She told me she will see me soon… what does that mean? I can't be that she is still alive… I saw her die in front of my arms! My mind is full of confusion. What if she's lying to me? What if that dream was a fake? Arrgh! I pound my fist on the hard, bumpy sand and screamed.

"STELLAR! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO LEAVE SO SOON!" I shouted to the top of my lungs

"Who's Stellar?" came a reply

I paused and had this shocked expression on my face. I looked around to see the whole gang. Kira, Athrun, Dearka, Lacus, Cagalli and Milly were right behind me. I blushed red.

"Hey Shinn, who's Stellar?" Kira asked

"It's none of your business guys… Leave me be…" I spoke sadly

"Shinn… for 2 years you look all depressed. Please tell us what is going on." Lacus said

"Shinn, we are all worried about you. Lacus and Kira told us that you were all beat up yesterday, something is definitely wrong here Shinn… We want to help you" Cagalli pleaded.

"Hey Shinny, c'mon man, you been all sad about something after you and that red haired chick broke up. Hey… is it because of this Stellar person?" Dearka asked

I sighed. I turned around to face the ocean. Should I tell them? They might laugh at me… They might think I'm weird because I love an EAF Extended girl. But I really love her… does it matter having a love interest between a different 'type' of person? Well Dearka is a coordinator but Milly is a natural. Their relationship is going pretty well… I guess I should tell them… about the girl that I love.

"Ok guys… I'll tell you why I am depressed, sad, angry, or whatever you want to call it." I said, "Stellar is a girl that I met during the war… she is the most innocent girl I've ever met. She reminds me of my sister Mayu… I really liked her and I want to be with her, to take care of her… but it is easier said than done…"

The whole gang sat beside me to hear the tragic story of Stellar.

"Quickly Murrue, put her body in that chamber!" Mwu shouted

Murrue quickly placed the body bag inside the regeneration chamber. Inside the bag lies the decomposed body of Stellar. Good thing her body is completely intact, but her flesh is well…… ok enough details… lets just say her body is now in the regeneration chamber.

"Mwu…I'm kinda scared … but what the heck are you trying to do!" Murrue ask

"Well… simple" Mwu smiles confidently, "I'm going to revive her."

"WHAT, how the hell are you revive a dead person!" Murrue exclaimed

"When I was Neo Lonoke, I learned everything about the EAF Extendeds; their superior beyond human traits that can easily beat the coordinators, killing without mercy, etc. All of these beyond normal status were given by drugs. They were abducted when they were young and were subjected to tests, training and discipline. Many died… but the ones who survived were used as dogs of the military. Stellar was one of them…" Mwu explained

"That's horrible… but that doesn't explain how you are gonna revive her!" Murrue said

"I'll explain now" Mwu replied, "There's a special chamber that the EAF developed just in case of a situation like we are experiencing right now. This chamber will regenerate any dead Extendeds back to their normal self and revive them. I know it sounds whacky. I have no idea why they made it. I suppose it's their way of 'recycling' a body. If a dead body of an extended is found, then they can be revived. I have to learn this when I was Neo because I was the commanding officer of my Extended group. It's gonna take some time but it will work. After all, I'm the man who makes the impossible possible."

XOXOX

I started to tell my friends about Stellar.

"Stellar… she was the most beautiful girl I've ever met. Innocent, kind-hearted, childish…she really reminds me of my deceased sister." Tears are now falling from my eyes. I quickly wiped them off, "I can show u some sketches I drew, let me just run back home and get it."

After a few minutes, I came back with my sketchbook. I sat down and started flipping pages of sketches I drew of Stellar… Everyone looked amazed not only my talent of art, but also the beauty of the one I love.

"Wow Shinn… she so pretty" Kira was amazed

"Whoa Shinny, that's a damn fine girl u had" Dearka was playing around. Milly smacked him on the head.

"Yea… she was a cute and adorable girl… She had short, blond hair; cute magenta eyes; a slim body; and she wears this white dress with blue stripes. She talks in third person, lots of my friends think she is wierd but she is really cute when she talks like that. Ok well if my memory serves me correct, the first time I met here was on PLANT, during the day where the 3 ZAFT mobile suits were hijacked. Our first meeting was an accident… I was walking down the street, hands full of bags containing clothing, items, food, and other stuffs. Suddenly she appeared from a corner and I accidentally bumped into her. She lost her balance and was about to hit the floor when I caught her just in time… but the thing I didn't notice is that my hands where on her……"

"YOU GROPED HER BREASTS SHINNY? YOU DA MAN!" Dearka shouted. I blushed red. Milly grabbed a handful of sand and dumped it inside Dearka's shirt.

"I'm sorry about Dearka's rude behavior, please continue" Milly smiled at me

"After that… she got kinda mad at me and ran away… that was our first encounter." I said, "Our second encounter was after a few months, I forgot where the location was… sorry. So, I rented a motorcycle and rode it around the beach area. I stopped next to a cliff just to take in some fresh air. When I turned around… I noticed her… She was twirling around, dancing and singing. At that time… I totally forgot who she was. It's been so long since that first encounter, but now I know. She was dancing happily when suddenly she tripped and fell into the ocean."

"Oh my…" Lacus covered her mouth, "What happened then?"

"Well when I heard her scream, I went close to the spot where she fell down. I looked down and saw her drowning. She can't swim, so I decided I should jump down and save her. Down on the ocean, I was struggling to calm her down. She kept punching me, kicking me and scratching me. It was REALLY painful… Eventually, I calmed her down and brought her to a small shore surrounded by cliffs."

"Wow Shinn… you saved her twice, nice for a guy like you hehehe" Cagalli replied

I blushed

"Thanks Cagalli. Well after I dragged her onto shore… I kinda yelled at her. I said: 'Are you trying to kill yourself or what!' She freaked out and started moving back to the ocean. She kept saying she doesn't want to die… I tried to stop her from moving but she kept struggling and elbowing me in the process. Then…I said something that calmed her down… I told her I will protect her. That stopped her movement and calmed her down. She kept repeating the word 'protect' and I replied saying that I will protect her."

"Aww that is so sweet!" Lacus smiled

"I wondered why she was acting all scared but later on I found out. I'll tell u guys about that later. After I calmed her down, she sat down on a nearby rock. We we're all cold, wet and tired. I suddenly saw a wound on her leg I took my handkerchief, dipped it in the water and covered it with the hankie. When I did that… she took my hand and placed it on her cheeks… I blushed really red that time… her soft, warm skin just really makes me feel alive. When she did that… I'm guessing that she had a love interest with me."

"I know I was in a tight situation but I had no choice to break my emergency dog tag. That will call for help from my battleship. For the rest of the time, we found a little cave beside the cliff. I started a small campfire and we both placed our clothes next to the fire to warm it up. We sat close to each other looking away. Both of us were half naked. I only had my shorts on. She was topless and she only wearing … um…"

"Panties?" Dearka finished my word, "Man Shinn… you are a lucky pervert." Milly dumped more sand into Dearka's back.

"Uh… yea…. I asked her her name. She replied. I asked her if she had any family members or relatives. She told me she never knew her family. The only person she lives with is Auel, Sting and Neo. She is just like me. I lost my whole family in ORB, she never knew her family. We are so similar. I told her my name. She blushed and smiled. Suddenly she got up and got something from her dress pocket. She came towards me and bent down to give it to me. I turned around and accidentally saw her…. round parts…… and turned away. She reached out her hand and presented me a small shell. It was a small pink, beautiful shell. I blushed. I asked her if it's for me, she nodded. I slowly reached out my hand and took it. She then sat down and moved closer to me. I quickly went to my left a few centimeters. For the rest of the evening, we stayed in the cave until Athrun came to save us. After that, we tried to look for her relatives. Eventually we found them and returned her back. Before we departed, I told her we will see each other again and I promised her that I will protect her."

"Aww that is so romantic" Lacus complimented, "Did you get to see her again?"

"Yes I did… but that time… I learned a dark secret that I wished it never happened to Stellar…" (A/N: If you have the song Shinkai no Kodoku, Stellar's image song, play it while you read, it will enhance reading experience)

"Why? What happened to her?" Kira asked

"Stellar…." I started to cry again, "Stellar is an Extended!"

"WHAT?" Everyone shouted at the same time

"Oh my goodness!" Lacus covered her mouth

"Shinn, you gotta be kidding right!" Dearka exclaimed

"No, I'm not joking… it is true. She is a 'slave' to the Earth Alliance military. Throughout the whole time where we left PLANT and into Earth chasing after the 3 hijacked mobile suits. She was piloting one of them: the ZGMF-X88S Gaia. The mobile suit is painted black with yellow and red stripes. It can transform in to a quadruple mode looking similar to a BuCUE."

"I remember that mobile suit before…" Kira butted in, "It killed that Orange GOUF Ignited"

"Yes… Stellar killed Heine. Deep down in that innocence of hers… she is deadly. She kills without mercy but she doesn't know why… It's because she is an Extended. One night we raided a Laboratory of the Earth Alliance and discovered shocking and horrible scenes. In the laboratory is an old Extended training centre. We searched the lab's data and we discovered the truth about these Extendeds. Naturals are kidnapped by these scientists to perform tests on them. They inject them with drugs to increase their human potential. An Extended is a person possessing strength, intelligence and agility beyond naturals and coordinators from drug taking and injections."

"Kira… it's like those guys we fought before, Forbidden, Calamity and Raider pilots." Athrun said

"Yea… Athrun… the Earth Alliance is just horrific" Kira responded.

"No… it is not the Earth Alliance. It's the Blue Cosmos. They were the ones who ordered the Earth Alliance to start this… monstrosity. That night at the Laboratory, Minerva picked up a Mobile Armor coming our way. Athrun, Rey and I went to check it out. Surprisingly it was Gaia. We engaged in a fierce battle, but in the end, Gaia's cockpit was sliced open and I got the shock of my life… It was Stellar. I was confused… Why would she be in that cockpit? I told Athrun and Rey to stop and soon after, I brought her into Minerva's hospitality room. It was chaotic inside. She was going out of control. She beat me up a couple of times but eventually, the doctor calmed her down by injection. They strapped her down to a bed in order to control her. I was severely punished for bringing an enemy aboard the ship, but I didn't care… I'm worried about Stellar because… I love her. Soon after, the doctor told us that she was an Extended. I was shocked that I dropped down to my knees. How could this innocent girl be in the military? I was so confused… Throughout these days, I didn't talk to anyone. I was always beside Stellar… hoping that she is fine. She woke up and asked me who I was. I was so shocked, she forgotten me… it can't be! The doctor told me that the Extendeds have their memory wiped every day so they can focus on fighting. I couldn't believe what I am hearing. There has got to be a way for her to remember me. For days, I knelt besides her hoping that she will remember me. That day finally came. I came into her room with the shell that she gave me on the beach. She called my name… she said 'Shinn…' I started crying. She remembers me! Her memory of me is back! I showed her the shell and asked her if she remembers this. She nodded and smiled. I was so happy that I could jump for joy. Sadly… things didn't go quite so well after. The doctor couldn't find out what is wrong with her. They say that she is 'dying'. They tried everything to put her into normal status but they couldn't. One night, I made up my mind. I decided to return stellar back to the Earth Alliance forces. I want Stellar to stay alive, so that we can be forever one day. I don't care if other people think she is abnormal… or she is an Extended… or she is an enemy… I love her. I told Rey to help me sneak out of the Minerva. He gladly helped me. In the Impulse, I contacted Neo. He shortly arrived at a shore and returned Stellar to him. Before I left I asked Neo to stop letting her fight in this war. I told him I wanted Stellar to live in a peaceful world, where there is no war and no mobile suits. He agreed on my request. Before saying goodbye to Stellar, I returned her the shell she gave me, to remember me when she is not with me." I explained.

"That is so sad…" Milly replied, "Please continue… did you see her again?"

"Yes… I did… it was my last time seeing her in this world." Shinn brought up a sad expression, "After a few weeks, we got an emergency saying that Berlin was attacked by a monster mobile suit. Minerva headed out for Berlin to intercept this huge mobile suit. When we arrived, the whole city was completely destroyed. At the center of Berlin lies the gigantic mobile suit. The GFAS-X1 Destroy Gundam. About 40 weapons in total; it is a terrifying weapon. To the right of our ship we saw the Archangel engaging the monster. Minerva had no choice but to send for backup. I went out in my Impulse to help take down that giant. After a while when I got in range, Neo in his wingdam approached me and told me to stop. I asked him why, he told me that Stellar is piloting that Gundam."

"WHAT! She's the one piloting that big thing?" Dearka was surprised, "but then… Neo didn't keep his promise…"

"Yes I know… Neo didn't keep his promised. At that time I was really mad about that. But you know, it's past and you can't change the past. I tried to get close to the giant and kept shouting her name. When I got up close to her cockpit area, the giant was about to shoot me point blank. At first she didn't know who I was until for some unknown reason, maybe the shouting worked, she miraculously stopped moving. I guess when she did that, she knew that I was in there. It calmed her down. I was in the process of negotiating with her until Freedom came behind me to check out what was going on." I explained

At this time, Kira lowered his head.

"She suddenly freaked out again and started to fire her main cannons on the giant's chest. I tried to stop her but I couldn't. I guess Kira had no choice but to stop it from shooting." I prepared a saddened face.

"Oh my… Kira… you killed her?" shocked Cagalli

"I had no choice Cagalli… If I didn't do something, Shinn might be dead back then." Kira replied

"Please… stop. It wasn't Kira's fault. Kira was there to protect the city and stop the threat. Please… I don't blame him anymore. It's over okay? I don't blame Neo too. I blame the war… It corrupted us all! If the war didn't happen, the Berlin incident would never taken place. Kira… I'm sorry for everything I did in the past." I stood up crying and bowed to Kira. Kira was shocked and was trying to stop me from lowering my head. I was so depressed that I dropped down to my knees.

"Shinn stop it! I accept you apologies, it's over okay? I'm sorry for killing Stellar. I wish I didn't, but I had no other choice… I should apologize to you too" Kira said

"Thank you Kira…" I wiped my tears

I continued, "After Destroy was annihilated. I found Stellar on the floor. Shrapnel pierced all over her body because of the explosion of the cockpit. I knelt beside her and held her hand. She said: 'Shinn promised… that Shinn will … protect Stellar…' I started to cry… I promised her that I would protect her… but I failed! I'm so useless! I couldn't protect the people I love! My family, now Stellar! Before she died… she said: 'Shinn… I love you'"

At this point Lacus, Cagalli, and Milly started to cry. Kira, Athrun and Dearka lower their heads and comforted their loved ones.

"After the Berlin incident, I took Stellar's body to a nearby lake… and buried her, giving her a watery grave." I ended, "That's the story."

"Shinn…I…I… never knew you were such a kind person." Cagalli said, "I'm sorry for being mean to you throughout the war"

"Cagalli I should apologize to you too. I was wrong about hating ORB and blaming your family. Your family did a wonderful job on maintaining the peace in ORB. I was wrong… I should blame the Earth Alliance because of their hatred towards our kind." I confessed

"And I'm sorry for the incident Shinn" Kira confessed once again

"Cagalli, Kira… I should be the one saying sorry to you guys…" I blushed

They talked on the beach for a few hours… went back in for dinner and headed to bed.

(A/N: right now, play Reason by Nami Tamaki to enchance reading experience)

Before I went to bed, I turned on his laptop to check for mail.

"Oh my… junk… junk…junk…advertisement…junk… hey what is this?" I got a shock, "It's from Neo…"

I opened the mail and I dropped my coffee mug on the floor in shock.

"What… What is this…? What is going on?" I gasped

In the letter it says:


Hey Kiddo,

Just to tell you. I have a gift for you. I want you to take Destiny Gundam with you and come to Berlin alone. Leave your place tomorrow at noon;bring no weapons. Someone special is waiting there for you. In the attachment is the route you will be taking. When you almost reach Berlin, you will go to a secret base that my old friend Dan lives. He will refill your Mobile Suit so you can make throughout the rest of the trip. Good luck Shinn

Mwu La Flagga a.k.a Neo Lonorke


"Someone special… could it be…" I dropped my jaw, "No way… that is impossible! I bet it just a friend of mine or something… or can it…"
