(Sweet Revenge)

OoOoOoO

The four stolen machines docked into the hangar of the Versalius. Athrun was still inside his thinking to himself. Yzak, Dearka, and Nicol were making minor adjustments to their captured units.

Kira... Athrun wondered how his best friend was doing. He exited the Aegis, and stood at the bottom. Nicol tapped his shoulder, but Athrun didn't feel it. So he hit harder. Still no response. Yzak shoved him aside, and punched the blue-haired boy's shoulder... and yet, Athrun didn't feel anything. Yzak, Dearka, and Nicol looked at one another and nodded. Dearka put three fingers up, and slowly counted down to zero. When all of Dearka's fingers went down, they all simultaneously went in to punch Athrun's back, which was facing them.

Abruptly, Athrun started walking towards the door, leaving the three behind to fall on the ground with an "Oof!" Now, they were lying on top of each other in a pile, Yzak at the bottom.

"Get off of me!" Yzak cried, taking in huge gulps of air. Finally, they got themselves untangled, and left the hangar. Just when they left, another mobile suit entered the hangar... The GAT-X105.

OoOoOoO

"Report." Commander Creuset leaned onto his desk, with his head cradling in his hands.

"We lost Rusty, sir, but we managed to capture 4 out of 5 of the new mobile suits." Nicol answered, seeing as Athrun wasn't going to snap out of his small trance anytime soon.

"Hmm... I see. What happened to the last unit?" The blonde-haired inquired.

"I believe a member of the Earth Alliance took control of it." Athrun spoke up.

"Commander, we have him waiting for you." The solid door muffled a voice. The commander stood up.

"Excuse me. I have a small matter to attend to."

Athrun, Dearka, Nicol, and Yzak all wondered what this "small matter" could be.

OoOoOoO

Kira leaned against the corridor wall, waiting for his superior to talk to him. He still wore the Earth Alliance's uniform, along with the helmet, but everyone knew better.

"Ah, yes." Commander Creuset acknowledged his presence. Kira opened his amethyst eyes.

"Commander." Kira nodded.

"Have you been able to retrieve the last unit? I believe it was called the Strike?" The masked commander questioned.

"Yes to both questions."

"Will you be staying on the Versalius?" Kira shook his head.

"I'm going to be heading back to Heliopolis." Kira answered, re-closing his eyes, and folding his arms.

"More spying on the Earth Alliance?" Kira replied as a positive. Un-noticed by the two, four pairs of eyes peeked from the previous room, located only in front of the place where they were talking.

"That voice... it can't be... Kira." Athrun muttered, but everyone heard him.

"You know that guy?" Dearka quizzed. There was a moment's pause, until Athrun responded.

"Actually, I'm not sure if it's him. It does sound a lot like him..." Athrun trailed off, unsure.

The brown-haired boy soon ended the conversation, and walked back the hangar. The four boys quickly darted back to their original spots.

OoOoOoO

"Well, that went well." Yzak sighed.

"I guess he's pretty happy since that guy seized the last unit." Nicol stared at the floor that he was walking.

"..." Athrun had been quiet since the talk with Commander Creuset. All because the commander had asked him to go to Heliopolis to spy for ZAFT. It was the same mission as the other boy. Rau Le Creuset said that there would be someone to pick him up.

OoOoOoO

It was three days later that a certain blue haired male stepped down from the plane. Athrun had never been on a plane many times before. He scanned the area. He saw something flash brown, and black. He headed towards the area where he saw it, only to stop 5 meters away from the fairly small group. There was his childhood best friend, Kira Yamato, laughing with them. What he didn't know was why Kira was at the airport at all, and why he was pretending to laugh. Athrun knew a real laugh from a fake one. Kira spotted him, and gasped slightly. His "friends" stopped laughing, and gave perplexed looks.

"Athrun..." He could even hear Kira from this distance. The other people of the group turned in my direction. Kira didn't know what to say neither did his friends.

"Kira..." Athrun murmured, lacing his fingers tighter around his handbag. A brunette waved a hand in front of Kira's face, wondering if he was even there. Kira knew why he was here.

Unexpectedly, Kira hugged him securely, showing no signs of letting go. Athrun, astonished, hugged back, hesitantly. Kira leaned his head on the taller boy's shoulder, with a sigh.

"I missed you so much, Athrun..." Kira stated quietly. Someone tapped his shoulder. Reluctantly, Kira let go.

"Would you mind filling us in?" Tolle questioned, scratching the back of his head.

"Athrun, this is Tolle, Miriallia, Sai, and Kuzzey." Kira introduced, pointing to each said person. "And guys, this is Athrun, my best friend."

There were a variety of greetings heard from the group, each beaming with happiness.

"Well, I gotta go home, Kira." Miriallia piped up. The rest nodded. They all said their farewells.

Kira then faced Athrun. A simple smile graced his face.

"I guess you'll be staying with me, for the duration of your trip here, ne, Athrun?" Kira asked, tilting his head upwards.

"I guess so, Kira..." Athrun stared at Kira, observing how much he had changed. He saw many, many buckles, and sweatdropped.

"My 'friends' are with the Earth Alliance because they noticed the new mobile suits taking off." Kira chuckled, softly.

"So you are with ZAFT, aren't you?" Athrun questioned, quietly. Kira nodded, leaving the exotic green-eyed boy speechless. "You never told me."

"You didn't tell me either." Kira retorted. Athrun immediately shut up. "I guess we should go pick up your bags."

OoOoOoO

"Kira never told us that he had a best friend, did he?" Miriallia asked. Everyone shook their head.

"No, he didn't." Kuzzey answered.

"We should get going to the Morgenroete Lab to meet up with Lieutenant Ramius." Sai stated, rubbing his forehead. With that, they group of four walked to their destination.

OoOoOoO

"Sai, Miriallia, Tolle and Kuzzey. Lieutenant Ramius said you would be coming soon. Please follow me." A crewmember greeted, kindly, and led them to the bridge. All of the four said people had already changed into their Earth Alliance uniform.

"It's good to see you again." Murrue smiled, gently. Mwu stood beside her, grinning as well.

OoOoOoO

(In case you haven't noticed, the part where they're supposed to meet Mwu has already passed, sorry about that!)

OoOoOoO

"We have no chance of standing up to ZAFT. They stole all the Earth Alliance's new mobile suits." Murrue informed.

"Captain! There's a message for you; we haven't been able to trace who it's from yet." Neumann enlightened. Murrue looked at him waiting for him to continue. "'Please let me on board. I only wish to return what is rightfully yours.' and that's all that it says."

"Ah, I see. This person might mean one of the Gundams, perhaps? But how did he or she get a hold of it?" Murrue muttered. "I grant permission."

"Captain! We have finally pinned down where the message came from! It's from the Strike, GAT-X105!" Chandra notified.

"The Strike?"

"Should we allow it aboard?" Neumann questioned, facing his captain. Murrue nodded, hurriedly, then she got up. "Take care of the controls, we'll be right back."

Sai, Miriallia, Tolle and Kuzzey followed the lieutenant.

OoOoOoO

Kira sat in his Gundam, waiting for orders. He heard a strong female voice.

"Come out with your hands up!" The female commanded. Kira did as told, and floated in his spot. "Show your face."

Kira hesitantly pulled off his helmet, leaving four shocked stares, all directed in his direction.

"Kira? Is that really you?" The soft voice of Miriallia reached his ears first.

"What are you doing here?" Then came Tolle's clear voice, obviously traumatized.

"How did you manage to get the Gundam back?" This time it was Sai's soothing voice; calm.

There were numerous enquiries from Kira's friends, but Kira remained silent. He was pondering on what to do next.

"How were you able to pilot the Strike? The technicians didn't even finished testing." Murrue explained.

"I reformatted the O.S. to make it easier to move around." Kira replied.

Mwu appeared out of nowhere. "Wow, that's amazing."

Then he approached the brown haired male.

"You. You're a Coordinator aren't you?" Mwu inquired, practically guessing. There were several gasps in the room. Kira gave a small smile, not saying anything. "So you are."

"I thought it would've been more evident that I was." Kira laughed. "Naturals."

This wasn't the Kira they knew.

"Did you actually think I was going to return the Strike?"

"What?" This statement had caught Murrue off guard. Kira smirked, slightly. There was a large explosion, shortly after.

"I'll be seeing you in battle." Kira mock saluted, and hastily jumped into the Strike's cockpit.

OoOoOoO

Kasemeithesilverfoxyouko- Thankies. I love your story just as much. Update soon, kay?

Jenniyah- Oh, yeah. Sorry about that. It was probably confusing, ne? My bad. They let Kira live 'cause they already killed his parents, so it leaves a scar behind. It inflicts pain to see your own parents die in front of you.

cheerful-pinkstar- I will; don't worry. Thanks for your review.

Fukari- About pairings... I'm not entirely sure about that. If you'd like to suggest a pairing, you can, but I won't guarantee anything.

waterangel17- Thanks for your review!

Toboe's pup- Thank you very much!

chaosruler2000- Arigato. :)
