Alright! WOOT Third chapter is up! I'm sorry for letting all of you wait. I had to do some major thinking for this one. Some of the parts might be a little confusing and I'm very sorry if I confuse you. I am trying my best now to explain the story. It might get a little cranky. I am sorry for that too. I would like to thank Kurama's-Girl-Aura for her constructive feedback for peer editing this chapter! Thank you aura !
"Good morning Stellar" came a voice
Stellar tightened the muscles on her eyes and slowly began to open them up.
"Where… Where is Stellar?" she asked
"You are in a laboratory Stellar, are you feeling okay?" replied the voice.
Stellar struggles to move her hand. Eventually after a few tries she used her hand to push herself off the bed she was sleeping on. She looked forward and saw Murrue.
"Stellar feels weird, who are you?" she said
"I'm Murrue. Don't worry Stellar; your muscles will be tense after the reincarnation. Mwu…Neo told me that it will go away after a while." Murrue explained
"Neo?" Stellar's eyes gazed at Murrue, "Neo is here to see Stellar? Neo is alive?"
Murrue smiled and sweat dropped. "Hai, Neo is alive. He is outside waiting for you."
"Really!" She jumped out of bed and rushed towards the door. Murrue stopped her just before she reached the exit. Stellar paused and looked at Murrue in question.
"Hold on Stellar, first of all…go and put some clothes on." Murrue smiled
Stellar looked at herself. She was completely naked.
"Oh…okay…" She replied wondering why she has to put clothes on…
Murrue walked up to a table and picked up Stellar's Earth Alliance uniform. It was the only clothing Mwu can find for Stellar. She gave Stellar her pink and white jacket, her white skirt and her long white boots she wears. After a few minutes, Stellar is all dressed up. She ran towards the door, past the hallways and into the lobby, where she sees Neo.
Stellar opened her eyes wide and gave a surprised look. "Neo!"
"Hey Stellar, how are you feeling?" Mwu asked
"Stellar is fine!" She smiled, "Stellar really missed Neo."
"I know," Mwu laughed, "I missed you too Stellar."
"Neo looks different…" Stellar said
"Oh… I think it's because I don't have the mask on. This is how I look without it" Mwu smiled. Stellar smiled.
Murrue walked in to check out what is going on. She then sees Stellar coming closer to Mwu's face. She was about to kiss Mwu. Murrue gave a jealous look at the two.
Mwu knows what is going on. He quickly stopped Stellar from kissing him. Stellar gave Mwu a surprised look.
"Stellar… after you were…gone, a lot of things happened" Mwu explained "I have to tell you something that might be shocking to you… my real name is Mwu La Flaga."
Stellar was shocked… She quickly retreated away from Mwu. "You are not Neo?"
"Stellar let me explain. I am Neo and I am also Mwu. I know this will sound strange Stellar. Before I met you, I was Mwu. I was fighting a war with my friend on the Archangel. Do you remember that ship?" Mwu explains
Stellar took some time to think about the white legged ship. After a few seconds she nodded her head.
"My friends and I were on that ship fighting for peace and unity of naturals and coordinators. I think you met Murrue when you were in the room. She is the captain of the Archangel."
"But the Archangel…is the enemy is it… Then that means Neo is an enemy?" She used her hands to grab her hair, "Stellar's head hurts!"
"Stellar…" Murrue explained, "Mwu is a good person. He did his best to stop the war and to bring peace to our world. Mwu is not an enemy. Stellar I know this is confusing but Mwu… or Neo is an honest person. He is telling you the truth."
"But why was Neo with Stellar?" She asked
"In the end of the first war, Mwu sacrificed his life to save the Archangel. We believed that he died." Murrue explained, "But 3 years later after the first war, I found out that Mwu is still alive… with you."
"I miraculously survived death. I was found unconscious and was brought in by the Earth Alliance forces. They gave me a fake name and that was Neo." Mwu explains, "After the Berlin incident, I was captured and brought in by the Archangel. At that point, I remember who I was in the past and I was Mwu again."
Stellar was still a little bit confused… but she only asked Mwu one question.
"So… Neo is Mwu and Mwu is Neo?" she asked with an innocent expression
"Yes Stellar" Mwu and Murrue replied at the same time
"Okay, Stellar understands!" She smiled
For the next few hours Mwu, Murrue explain to Stellar about the world today, on how the war is over and everyone is living peacefully.
"Oh Stellar, just to tell you, Murrue and I are now married" Mwu said
"Married? What is that?" Stellar asked in question
"Well… how should I explain this…um… it's… it's an oath where you devote yourself on caring, protecting a person you love." Mwu explains
"Love… does Stellar love someone?" Stellar asks (A/N: After the reincarnation, Stellar lost her memory of the past, BUT, it can be revived if something catches her eyes to trigger that memory. Mwu revived all of her memory starting from the day at Armory 1 till the time she died)
"Yes Stellar, you do…" Mwu replied
"Does Neo know who?" Stellar asks blankly
Stellar sees Mwu reach into his jacket pocket. "Give me your hand Stellar" Mwu said
Stellar reached out his hand and Mwu placed a small necklace on her palm. On her hand was a small pink shell. It's the shell that she gave Shinn on the beach. Stellar looked at it with a questioningly look. Suddenly a sharp jerk of pain entered her brain. She screamed and went out of control. Mwu and Murrue did their best to calm Stellar down.
"Hold her down Murrue, her memory of him is coming back" Mwu commanded
Deep in her mind, Stellar is starting to remember some of the past times she had. First memory is Auel, then Sting, Armory 1, Impulse, Neo, and finally… the memory of that boy. The boy who accidentally groped her that day they first met, the boy who saved her life when she accidentally fall off that cliff, the boy who comforted her during captivity. That boy… what is his name?
Stellar started to cry.
"S..Sh….Shi…" She grasped the shell on her hand, "Shin..SHINN! Where are you Shinn!"
"Stellar calm down please!" Mwu commanded
"Neo… Where is Shinn! Stellar wants to see Shinn!" Stellar yanked Mwu's shirt and pulled it back and forth
"Stellar listen to me!" Mwu was getting dizzy, "Shinn is coming as we speak. He will be here to see you soon, I promise!"
Stellar stopped yanking his shirt and began to calm down. She looked down at the floor and smiled.
"Really? Shinn is coming to see Stellar?" she asked
"Mwu has sent a message to Shinn early on." Murrue explained, "I bet he is dying to come and see you Stellar, don't worry he will come." She smiled at Stellar.
"Stellar, go and take a rest. Tomorrow I promise you that you will see Shinn again." Mwu said
Stellar looked at Mwu and smiled. She hugged him and remained hugging for a minute.
"Murrue will take you to bed." Mwu said. Stellar nodded and followed Murrue to her room.
After a few minutes, Murrue came back to Mwu.
"She is such a cute girl. Lucky Shinn." Murrue commented
"Yea… that kid is just damn lucky to get a girl like her. Besides I know Stellar will be in good hands with Shinn. He is a nice, caring person despite the fact that he is arrogant and stubborn." Mwu said
"I'll go call Andy to bring in the Gaia for Stellar" Murrue said
"Alright, now all we need is for Shinn to arrive." Mwu replied
Back in Stellar's room, Stellar is lying down on the bed looking at the ceiling. She is still holding the necklace with the shell Shinn gave her on that day when she was returned to Neo. She looked at it and started to cry.
"Shinn... Please come and see Stellar soon..." she whispered and closed her eyes
XOXOX
"Guys… I have to talk to you about something… really shocking" I said
I was at the living room with the whole gang. They looked puzzled.
"Guys, sit down please." I said
"What is wrong Shinn?" Kira asked, "Did something bad happen again?"
"Is it about Stellar?" Athrun asked
"Guys…yesterday night when I was checking my e-mails. I got a strange message from Neo." I explained
"Neo? Oh you mean Mwu La Flagga," Cagalli answered, "What did he say?"
"I have it printed out here; you guys take a look…" I gave them the paper.
After a few seconds, they all dropped their coffee mugs. Kira and Lacus are staring at me. Athrun and Cagalli dropped their jaws, and Dearka and Milly spit coffee all over the floor.
"No way… Who is this special someone? And what could Mwu possibly do!" Dearka was shocked
"I have no clue… but yesterday night… I couldn't sleep. I was thinking about why he wants me to go to Berlin, and who is this special someone… Guys… I think I know who it is. It's Stellar." I said
This time Kira and Lacus dropped their jaws, Athrun and Cagalli stared straight at me in the eye, and Dearka and Milly choked on their coffee.
"It all makes sense…Berlin is the place where I buried her. Neo knows about the Extendeds and I am guessing that he might possibly do something to Stellar. I have to find out you guys… I am worried. After all these years of grief, something is happening to the girl I love. I have to find out what. Please… let me take Destiny and go there." I pleaded.
The gang discussed the situation with each other. Kira looked worried about sending a Gundam out, but Lacus told Kira that Shinn is an excellent pilot and he can take care of himself. Athrun and Cagalli agreed. Dearka and Milly didn't care much.
"Alright Shinn, I'm giving you permission to take Destiny with you, but just one condition: Take care and keep your mobile suit hidden from civilians and others." Kira said
(A/N: Play Vestige by TM Revolution if you have it)
I smiled and let out a tear drop. "I…I… Thank you Kira… I will take care of myself. Thank you all for giving me a chance…"
"Don't worry Shinn. We all suffered during the war and we all tried our best to make things right and find hope. I know you had suffered a lot too, loosing your family and Stellar. I know Mwu; he is a guy who will do anything to get things accomplished. He has a famous quote: 'I'm the man who makes the impossible possible.' He dedicates his life to making something possible. I might sound crazy but is it possible to revive an Extended?"
I was shocked to hear Kira say that… could it be that Neo… found a way… to…
"Extendeds are 'tools' of the EAF. They changed their whole body in order to fight. But I am not so sure... about reviving one…" I replied
"Maybe Mwu knows…since he's worked with the Extendeds before. To me, I believe Mwu revived her. Why would he tell you to go to Berlin anyways? And this special someone… how many people in your life you considered special?" Kira asked
"Special… My family, Mayu, and Stellar" I replied
"You told me your family died in front of your eyes… there is no way you can see them in this world again… But Stellar… she is different from all of us. Mwu must have somehow brought her back to life… but I am not 100 sure yet Shinn. It is up to you to find out the answer. Go Shinn, go and find it!" Kira smiled
I started crying… even though I caused so much pain to them… Defeating freedom, mocking ORB and disobeying Athrun's orders… they still give me chances, Chances so that I can change myself. I should be more like them… forgiving and kind. I wiped my tears and ran to my room. I quickly grabbed Mayu's cell phone, put on my ZAFT uniform and snatched the disc containing the route to Berlin with me.
I ran downstairs to the basement. The basement was filled with bookshelves and old items. Lacus told me there was this secret switch to the hangar somewhere. She told me it was the second last bookshelf, third row and the third book. I took the book out and suddenly, the bookshelf to my left moved out of the way and revealed a secret door. Beside the door there was a palm scan. I placed my palm and the scanner started to operate. After it scanned my hand the screen on top of the scanner said 'Shinn Asuka, Access Granted'. The door began to open.
I ran down the narrow hallways, through twists and turns until finally I stopped at a split passageway. On top of the passageway were the names of the 3 pilots: Kira Yamato, Athrun Zala, and Shinn Asuka. I continued into my lane until finally I arrived at the hanger where my mobile suit is.
As you known previously, the ZGMF-X42S Destiny was destroyed by Infinite Justice. After the war ended, Destiny was brought back to me completely repaired thanks to Athrun. Athrun told me that the generator for the Wings of Light has been improved. Now I can use it freely whenever I want and it won't drain as much battery power as before.
I looked at Destiny with saddened eyes. Destiny also looked back at me with its mournful eyes. It is the first time I realized that Destiny has saddened eyes, it looks like that the mobile suit is affected by the war. We are both alike… both endured the pain and suffering from fighting.
"Let's go Destiny, Let's go and find the answer!" I whispered, tears coming out of my eyes.
I entered the cockpit and started up the power and engines. The display screen showed the operating system Destiny uses: Gunnery United Nuclear-Dueterion Advanced Maneuver. I did a quick test to see if the thrusters were working and if movement is functioning properly. I took out the M2000GX folding high-energy long-range beam cannon because it will slow Destiny down. I took out the MA-BAR73/S high energy beam rifle since I have the 'Palma Fiocina' beam palm. I kept the 'Arondight' anti-ship sword and the 'Flash Edge 2' beam boomerangs for close combat defense. I dropped the mobile shield since I have beam shields and they are WAY better. When I was ready to go, the screen on my top right appeared. It was Dearka and Milly.
"Hey Shinn, are you ready to go?" Milly asked
"Yes Milly, I'm ready to go" I replied
"Okay I will take Destiny to the launching pad, hang on for a bit okay?" Milly said
The wires on Destiny were not cut off and the platform that Destiny is standing on began to move.
While Destiny is still moving to the launch bay, Dearka came on to the screen.
"Hey Shinny, be careful okay? We all want you to come back safely and if that hot blonde chick is really alive, bring her back okay? I really wana meet her" Dearka winked at me, I blushed. Milly drenched Dearka with coffee.
"Okay Shinn, Destiny is at the launch bay, all systems green! You may launch!" Milly said
Beside our mansion there is a huge cliff and goes into the ocean, on the wall of the cliff is a secret tunnel, which is where the launch area is. The 'gate' started to open and out comes a long platform extending out of the tunnel.
The monitor next to where Destiny is began to light up. The first green light illuminated. I can feel my heart beating rapidly. The second green light came on. I can feel my hands shaking. And finally the last green light was on.
"Shinn Asuka, Destiny, Ikimasu!" I shouted
The catapult pushed Destiny out of the secret tunnel on the cliff. I started up the Wings of Light. Destiny's wings unfolded and out emitted beautiful purple particles creating a wing shape. After the wings are on, I cranked up the thrusters to full blast and I was off to Berlin to meet my special someone.
"Stellar… if it is really you, if you are really alive, please wait for me…" I whispered and closed my eyes. I turned autopilot on and gave Destiny the data of our flight path.
XOXOX
Back at the mansion, Kira, Lacus, Athrun, Cagalli, Dearka and Milly were standing on the balcony. They were holding their couple's hand looking at the sky. They were especially looking at the small purple light at the sky.
"Shinn…come back soon…we are all waiting for you and with that pretty girl of yours if she is alive" Athrun said
"Hey what! You call Stellar pretty and not me!" Cagalli was furious
"No no no! That is not what I meant Cagalli, dear" Athrun was trying to explain, "I know she is pretty but Cagalli… you're the prettiest girl in the whole world to me."
"Oh… really? Well Athrun, that is not good enough!" Cagalli blushed and teased
Athrun started to blush, "Well… what do you want me to do for you to make you happy?"
"Hmm…" Cagalli had an evil smile, "I know… but you have to promise me to accept this offer!"
"Okay Cagalli, dear" Athrun responded.
"Okay!" Cagalli smiled, "I order you to become my slave for the rest of your life!"
"What!" Athrun was shocked, "Aw… damn…"
Everyone else laughed
Then Kira looked at the sky with Lacus, holding hands.
"I hope Shinn will be okay" Kira said
"Kira dear, He will… he is a strong-hearted boy. He won't lose easily" Lacus replied
"Yea Lacus… you're right." Kira placed his hand around Lacus' waist. Lacus placed her head on Kira's shoulder. Both looked at the sky where the purple dot is.
"Shinn…do your best!" Kira whispered.
"Come home soon Shinn!" Lacus continued.
End of Chapter 3
Chapter 3 is now over! I'm sorry again if some of the places get kinda confusing andI'm really sorry ifI made Kira as kinda the know-it-all person.
