"Vera," I said looking up to the familiar man on the screen

"You know him," Murre said

"Yes, he's the advisor of Manes," I said hissed, and then I ran up saying, "Aiden how is he, he isn't hurt right."

He looked a bit grim and walked to a room quietly. It was quiet dark I was looking intently at the screen, as Athrun reached near me placed an arm around my waist, his eyes not leaving the screen as well.

"He's okay," Vera said opening the metal shaft letting light into the room, and what I saw shocked me so much that I fell to my knees.

There were dead bodies, cut up, shrivelled and cakes of blood surrounding the room. I looked down immediately.

"These are his experiment," Vera said coldly.

I covered my ears and let tears out yelling, "Please, just tell me where Aiden is? I can't look at any more dead bodies, after that incident."

Athrun silenced everyone from asking what I was talking about. He held me by the shoulder and whispered a phrase and I looked back up at the screen and say two breathing people in a clean corner of the room.

"Jack," I said into the screen and saw him flinch. He looked like a used rag. He was holding Aiden in his arms and Aiden snuggled into Jack a bit more, whispering "mama"

I touched his face upon the screen and said, "What did he do?"

"Well, I must say I was very shocked seeing him bring Aiden. Aiden was crying his eyes out, and well accidentally punched him in the face, giving him a nice bungee ride. And after all the blood reached his brain, he flipped him over, I managed to get him safely in my arms," Vera said, trying not to mention the bullet incident, "As for Jack, his story isn't one of the best. If you look into his eyes, you'll see nothing. He's in an odd state of comma, and I'm still trying to come up with the antidote. Each day he is drowning more and more into nothingness, I just hope he makes it in time."

"There's something missing," Athrun said looking intently at Aiden's face, "He did something else to him."

Vera looked down in disgust and tried to say something which seemed to be nothing to be muffle.

"Vera tell us," I said sternly

Vera couldn't meet my eyes and said something that made everyone burn with an anger.

"He stuck Aiden's hand well inside where he got shot, and forced Aiden to take a bullet out."

"You just wait," I growled dangerously, "I'll kill that bastard."

I was marching to the door to go and leave, when Vera said, "There's more."

I turned and saw him sit down.

Athrun said, "What else would he want from a little child."

"You remember what he told you Cagalli," Vera said

I froze with pure terror on my face.

"No, he wouldn't honestly do that," I said running up immediately asking for an answer.

"I managed to prevent that," Vera said lamely.

"Thank goodness," I said

"What did he say," Athrun asked

Vera said for me, "he was going to destroy your son, just like how Cagalli did to his, slowly and painfully. He thinks her flesh eating poison was a good idea, poor kid, such a short life, as I recall him saying."

"That ass," Yzak said

I sat down on a chair as I felt Athrun igniting fire all around the room. I had never felt so much hatred for a person in my life, but what shocked me was the detestation I felt from Athrun. It was dark.

"First, he sends his lecher son, and destroys Cagalli's trust from everyone, take her away from he for six months, makes her lose her memories, and now he wants to hurt my son," Athrun said in the most dark voice I had ever heard in my life, "I should stab him for as many days of torture he has done in his life, but even that wouldn't be enough."

"I know your sentiments, Mr. Zala," Vera said

I let out a breath and realized something; Manes didn't kill my baby yet.

"He's planning something," I said

"Well he won't use flesh eating poison," Vera said

"Get to the point," Kira said, wondering what was going to happen to his nephew

"Apologises, he is going to give a slow and painful death to Aiden," Vera said again not looking at us.

"How," Lacus said

He took breath and again was having a lot of difficulties saying it. I was already frightened at what he was going to say.

"He has already gone through close to hundreds of body and well dissected through them," Vera said hanging a couple of the people mouth, "Revenge he says. He's already taken out the people who created him, but he thirsted for more. He strapped a victim on a table and cut through them while they were consciousness, first taking out there eyes, heart, brain and slitting their throats and slits, before finishing."

"Oh god, I can't listen anymore," Lacus said leaving.

"He's taken pictures and recorded there screams and dissection and watched them often. Of course this was before I came to him, undercover," he said

"Just answer one question," I said emotionless

"Go ahead," Vera said

"How long is it before he goes through Aiden," I said knowing exactly what he was going to say next.

I bit me tongue as I saw Athrun look at me in shock.

"He wouldn't," Athrun said

Vera nodded and said, "He's already been through teenager and young children. Jack is lucky enough to survive this far. He is going to be a comparison to young Aiden. Just watching Aiden for an hour, Manes knew that Aiden was different and want to have a closer look."

"When," I said

"At midnight, Mr and Mrs. Zala, try and make it, because unfortunately I have no power over this," Vera said, "I prevented Aiden from dying instantly, but this is beyond my control."

He turned of the screen leaving all of us speechless.

Murre walked over to the radio and ordered and immediate launch. I stood up in shock and walked out quickly and ran to a room, locked it and started crying.

I felt the Archangel launch and started to just pray that we would make it in time. I felt someone knock on the door and I let him in. I turned around not wanting to meet his eyes. Sitting down back on the chair and I wanted to throw up my quivering stomach from the worries of Aiden and Jack and the new information I just learned.

"You know what Athrun, I think I'm going to," I couldn't finish my sentence as my over stressed stomach called and I ran to the washroom and threw up my breakfast.

Athrun couldn't blame Cagalli at all for her stomach not to calm her down. He rushed to her as well and rubbed her back. She cleaned up and washed her mouth and brushed her teeth as well. The next thing he knew was Cagalli was crying on his chest.

I just couldn't seem to stop my tears. It like they were triggered. Our baby had faced so much and I knew how much he cried. I felt Athrun wrap his arms around and encouraged me constantly that Aiden was alright and that we'd get him back safely. I nodded in agreement and gradually stopped crying and fell asleep, whispering "I don't want to lose him."

He replied to my sleeping form, "I'll bring Aiden back to you if it's the last thing I do."

Even in my sleep I felt restless. I could just picture Aiden being tortured by the Manes. Jack in his form. I could feel them all calling out for me, but I was frozen and I couldn't do anything.

I woke up in a startle and felt beads of perspiration on my forehead. I lay back down on the bed oddly and noticed that I was alone in the room. I wondered where Athrun was. He had been really quiet, as if he was hiding something, and I needed to know what? It had been like that ever since he woke up form his injuries.

I slipped off the bed, feeling a bit better and washed my face before leaving the room. I felt weak and low on energy. I went to an empty cafeteria and ate some lunch. It was starting to get confusing. Where was everyone? I check the hanger and strangely enough there were only a handful of people there. I ask one person where everyone was, and they said that they reached L3 and were currently looking for the base. I felt anger at once and shouted some profanity towards Athrun. How could he leave without me? I launched immediately in my mobile suit and knew that when I'd find him I'd give him a nice kick. I disillusion into the background and searched for everyone. I saw them all scattered around and I could here there conversation.

"Again Athrun, why didn't you wake up Cagalli?" Dearka asked, "You know she'll kill you once she figures it out."

"I know," Athrun sighed, "But she was weak, and I knew that she wouldn't eat and run around if I told her, we arrived. And she could have fainted or who knows what."

"She'll still kill you," Shinn said

"You bet I will," I said kicking Athrun gundam, "How could you?"

Athrun stood still and said, "Because I love you."

"How long did I sleep for?" I said

"You never slept Cagalli, you woke up after five minutes, clam yourself then fall back asleep

I had no answer to that and said, "Find anything yet."

"No," Athrun said, "We're running out of time."

"There base couldn't be that big," I said, looking at all the debris.

"According to the disc," Kira said, "There base looks like something Manes treasured, but what?"

I was kind of confused on that, what could a vile monster treasure? He could only treasure his revenge. But what does revenge look like? Revenge had many forms, explosions, death, murder, hate, and much more, but they all had something in common, a taint of black in their heart, whether it is for a minute, or a life. Your mind would be only focused on the desire to complete that dark task.

I looked around, for something that seemed in focus. Something everyone brushed away we had only half an hour left and I was beginning to worry.

I looked around and saw something quite strange.

It was a meteor that looked completely destroyed, yet held together. It looked like it was about to break apart, yet something was holding it from the inside. I was confused and went to it and noticed that it wasn't huge, yet that it wasn't small. I knew there was something inside here, I could feel the blood.

"Athrun, I'm going inside here," I said

"Oh no you don't we're all coming with you," Athrun said

I didn't deny him, knowing I'd end up as defeated. I went out of my mobile suit and saw a hole in the exterior of the meteor. I saw Athrun grab my hand, and I smiled at him. Everyone else was behind as we took the first steps.

It was grey all around the room we were in. Spider webs and dust, made us first believe that this was the wrong place, until I saw scratches on the wall. We walked out of the room and were met by an empty hallway.

"We need to split up," I said, grabbing Athrun's arm, "I'm going with Athrun."

Everyone smiled at me and I said, "Everyone go in twos of fours, and we'll meet back her in an hours, any sign of Aiden or Jack, grab them and run to the ship."

They all nodded as I said, "Athrun and I are going that way."

We walked away first and saw the rest of the split up as well. I wanted to run; worried that we wouldn't make it in time, and Athrun sensed that. I remembered about Athrun hiding something and I said, "I wanted to ask if you were hiding-"

A hand gently pressed my mouth and I was gracefully pressed into a wall and heard guards roaming around.

I noticed how close Athrun was to me and felt my breath hitch like in the beginning. I was married to him for goodness sake and I was blushing still.

It was too dimmed for Athrun to notice and he said, "You alright."

I nodded and felt like I had a little school girl crush on my husband.

I grabbed my hand and we ran through the hallways not exactly knowing where we were going.

"How are we going to get back?" I asked as we reached another room.

"The Archangel are have tracking device on us and can visualize out steps," Athrun opening antoher door and entering.

"Were at the dungeons," Kira said throught radio.

"Any sign of them," I said

"Nope, just a lot of bodies, he might have taken them," Kira said

I noticed the time reading ten minutes before midnight.

"Athrun," I said

"We'll get there don't worry," he said entering a control room and saw video cameras.

He sat down and started typing in the keyboard and looking on the screen.

"It's going to be in his lab," Athrun said, "We'll make it in time, if we run like hell."

He memorized the path, grabbed my hand and he ran quickly through the path. I felt the time clicking in my hand; I felt Athrun stop as a guard came out in front of us. Athrun and the guard both raised a gun, when he said, "Are you Mr. and Mrs. Zala?"

We nodded and he quickly put the gun down and said, "Run."

We did and Athrun lead the way with me by his side. I felt like I was going in circle all lost and weary. I felt like I had been here before. A weird memory, a strange burst of light, but I couldn't explain it. It was odd.

Athrun bashed through the door and we saw Manes sticking a knife up and Aiden screaming in terror as Jack was trying to get out of the strap.

Athrun ran up and kicked the knife out of his hand s and stood in front, protecting our son. I felt a weird in this room. I could picture of blood streaming down. I had no clue what I was seeing.

"Welcome, you two, it's about time you arrived, but I was expecting you after I finished with your son," Manes said

Athrun locked a gun on his head, saying, "You die here."

"I'm sure I will, but my head is covered with metal, so my death is going to be easy," he said laughing.

"Everyone has weaknesses and so do you," Athrun said smirking

"If you think a couple of bullets will kill me, then your wrong, I'm made of much more than that, unlike you," Manes said turning and looking at me.

"Ah, if it isn't the murderer of my son, Ms. Cagalli," he said

"He deserved to die," I said

"Yes, that what you all say," he said, "Last time you were, you were so battered up, that I didn't know why my son found so much interest in you, now I can see why."

Athrun shot a bullet at his leg, which made him wince in pain and Athrun said, "Better keep your mouth shut."

"Protective, I see," Manes said

I was having trouble breathing. I noticed Aiden was free from him bounds and had a little cut on his belly. I felt my heart wench at his tears falling. Athrun released Jack as well, who limped over to Aiden and checked him, and while Athrun was making sure the Manes wasn't a threat.

I was on the other side of the room and the only thing the separated me from being near my loved ones was Manes.

Manes turned over to me.

"It's a shame you two had to come early, and I was just about to know the truth about your son Cagalli, that he's a thing like me. He isn't normal like us, that you are an alien just like me and him," he said making my eyes widen and Athrun was left in confusion.

"What are talking about, Cagalli is human,not athing like you," Athrun said

Manes couldn't help but laugh

"Now Mr. Zala, how would you know, you didn't witness your wife, being operates on, when she was born now did you. Her father created her. She isn't normal and you know that. She posses the SEED, something only coordinators can do and so can your son," he said

"That doesn't change the fact that she's human," Athrun said

"Human?" Manes said

I felt my head pond in pain as I looked around the room. I could see flashed of events happening in this very place and all I could hear were voices.

"Cagalli," Athrun said, "You okay?"

"You can see it, can't you," Manes said

I sat on the gorund holding my head.

"You remember this place," Manes continued.

"Don't talk to her," Athrun said walking over to her, and Manes didn't move because of the gun.

Jack reached Cagalli and Aiden called for his mother as well. I heard there voices and reached out to them, when the door from the other side opened and Kira came in with Yzak, Dearka, and Shiho.

I could hear cries and I moved away from Aiden afraid of the people surrounding me.

"She can her the cries she screamed, fell the cuts on her skin, hear the voices the changes her, picture her past," Manes said

I looked up at him and said, "Why?"

"Because Cagalli, this is the reason why I brought Aiden here. To meet the same fate you did on this date. This was the very day you became a thing of no identity. Like me, people operated on you and changed your brain and body, to make something more of you. This was where you were created and because Cagalli," he said

Oh yes major twist
