Flashback:

A young man and his family were running in the middle of the forest from a battle of rampaging mobile suits. Running was the only thing they could do. They couldn't fight. They had no mobile suits. Trying to not look back, they kept on running. Missiles were flying everywhere. The young man slid over a rock, but didn't fall. They were trying to reach the dock to escape the chaos at ORB. Suddenly, they stopped running. The young man looked back, then caught up to his family.

"Dad..."

"Dear..."

"We'll be okay. Their, target is the military installation, right? Let's hurry, Shinn."

Missiles flew everywhere, like meteors entering the Earth's orbit. Tanks and Gundams were trying to shoot them down. A few of the missiles blew up. Shinn and his family were still running. From a high view, Shinn could see what was happening. He saw a whole bunch of Mobile suits. They were almost to the dock, but took cover as a Gundam flew over them. Shinn and his family got back up and started running again. The mother then turned to her daughter.

"Mayu! Hang in there!"

All of a sudden, her cell phone fell out of her bag. Noticing it, she turned back.

"My cell phone!"

The mother tried to pull her back.

"Forget about that!"

"No!"

With quick thinking, Shinn jumped down the hill and grabbed his sister's cell phone. Meanwhile, in one of the Gundams, a young, evil ZAFT member looked down and spotted Shinn's family. He made an evil grin.

"Ah...new targets."

The gundam aimed his gun and blasted the area where Shinn's family was. The blast was so big, that Shinn went flying into the air and slipped into unconsciousness. As he woke up, he was found by an ORB officer. The man ran straight to Shinn.

"Are you alright!"

He helped Shinn up.

"Over here, hurry!"

Shinn opened his eyes and turned back.

"Dad...mom...what about Mayu?"

Shinn's eyes widened at the sight he just saw. Then he found an arm behind a rock. It was his sister's.

"Mayu!"

"Hey...!"

Shinn ran closer, only to find that it was his sister's severed arm. He then looked up and saw a torn backpack. Then, he had a terrified look when he saw the dead body of his little sister. Shinn's eyes were full of sadness. Then he found his mother's body. He started to breathe in and out quickly. Finally, he saw his father's body, crushed by a tree. He clenched his sister's cell phone. He knelt down, with his hands on the ground. Tears fell down his face and onto the ground. Two gundams flew by. The officer went up to Shinn and said, "H-hey you...". Shinn turned with an angry look in his eye. Watching the Gundams battle it out, he squeezed his sister's cell phone. He turned all the way and screamed so loud. It was a scream of pain and sadness.

End Flashback

Shinn gave an angered look at the prisoner. He clenched his fists and closed his eyes. He started to have vengeful thoughts. He kept on watching the man with the two soldiers walk away. Lunamaria just watched Shinn from her position. She saw the anger from within his eyes. Just when he was about to lose his temper, she grabbed his hand and leaned her head on his shoulder. Shinn turned and was surprised by Lunamaria's actions.

"Luna..."

"Shinn...why are you angry?"

"That man...killed my family."

Luna's eyes widened.

"How do you know?"

"He said he killed three people at Onogoro seven years ago. He said 'An old lady, an old man, and a sweet little girl.' The old lady was my mother, the old man was my father, and the little girl was my sister, Mayu."

"Shinn..."

Tears fell down his face. He clenched his fists and walked away. Luna could do nothing but watch him leave. As he was walking, he thought to himself.

'Why? Why did I survive that event seven years ago?'

Meanwhile, Kira and Lacus were back on Earth, walking through the park. The two were holding hands. Lacus had her head rested on Kira's shoulder. Kira raised his hand and put it on her left side. Like a child, Lacus released her emotions. She stopped and looked at Kira. He looked back at her. While they were at the park, Athrun and Cagalli were at Athrun's house. Athrun was looking out the window in his underwear, while Cagalli was in the bed beside him, not wearing anything.

"Athrun, honey? Are you coming back to bed with me?"

Athrun turned back to her.

"Sure."

Athrun got into the bed with Cagalli. They did their "business" there. Back at the Archangel, Shinn held out his sister's cell phone and looked at the pictures. Tears formed in his eyes and fell down to the floor. He clenched the cell phone and tightly closed his eyes. The anger and sadness just built up inside of him.

"Mom...dad...Mayu...That bastard will pay for what he did."

All of a sudden, Shinn saw an escape pod headed toward a ZAFT spaceship. His eyes widened when he saw it. He ran to the where the jail cells where. By the time he got there, he found a severely injured Lunamaria. Shocked to find her like this, Shinn ran to her and tried to feel for a pulse. He felt a small pulse. He thought to himself. 'Good. She's alive, but barely.' He carried her with both of his arms and ran toward the infirmary. After arriving to infirmary, Shinn waited while the doctors were fixing her up. A few hours later, a doctor came out and told Shinn the news.

"Mr. Asuka, you may come in now."

"Thanks doc."

Shinn walked in and saw a bandaged, sleeping Lunamaria. He put his hand on top of her hand. Letting his emotions guide him, Shinn confessed his feelings for Lunamaria. Tears went down his face.

"Luna...I'm sorry this happened to you. It's all my fault."

Lunamaria was still asleep.

"Anyway, I hope you can hear me. Ever since the day I met you, I've felt different about you. I just can't let this moment slide because I might not get another chance to tell you. So I'll say it now and right."

Shinn sweated a little. He closed his eyes tightly and clenched his fists.

"Lunamaria, I...I LOVE YOU!"

'Well, that was pathetic. Maybe I should've said more love stuff.'

Shinn opened his eyes and saw that the unconscious Lunamaria was smiling. He smiled back, sat on a chair, and just looked at her. Suddenly, she slowly opened her eyes and saw Shinn looking down at her. She struggled to get up, so Shinn helped her up. She looked at Shinn, deep into his crimson red eyes. Then, she tried to tell Shinn something that was unexpected and surprising. Her voice was all raspy,but Shinn was able to make out what she said.

"Shinn...that man, the one...who killed your family...and did this to me...His name...is...R-Ryo T-Takenari"

Before she could continue, Lunamaria fell back on her bed and fell back asleep. Shinn just stared at the sleeping Luna. He touched her face. He moved his head closer to hers and kissed her on the lips. Meanwhile, back at the park, Kira and Lacus were sitting on a bench, staring at the sunset. She rested her head on his shoulder. Her hand was on his. She turned to Kira and looked into his sparkling purple orbs that were full of life. He looked back into her beautiful sapphire orbs. She smiled at him, and he smiled at her. He put his hand behind her head and gently caressed her hair. He pulled her closer into an embrace. and kissed her on the lips. Lacus returned the kiss. The kiss lasted a while, which seemed like an eternity. Kira broke the kiss and looked at Lacus.

"I'm sorry I haven't been there for you."

"It's okay. I know you've been busy."

He touched her face and felt her soft, smooth, silky skin. Suddenly, Kira's communicator started beeping. He grabbed it and pushed the button. It was Captain Ramius who called.

"What is it, Captain?"

"It's ZAFT! They're attacking the Archangel."

Kira's eyes widened.

"Shinn, Mwu, Dearka, and Yzak are trying to defend the Archangel and Lunamaria's severely injured. There are too many for them to handle. We need you to go find Athrun and help them."

"Yes ma'am."

Kira hung up and looked at Lacus. She heard every word. She and Kira ran to get Athrun. Meanwhile, at the battle field, Dearka, Yzak, and Mwu were fighting a bunch of ZAFT mobile suits, while Shinn was face to face with one. It was a black one with silver wings.

"Are you...Ryo Takenari?"

"Yeah, why do you ask?"

Shinn glared at him.

"Seven years ago...you killed my family at Onogoro."

"So your the son of the Asuka family."

"That's right! And now...you tried to kill the one I love."

Shinn entered SEED mode.

"And for that...I'LL KILL YOU!"

Ryo entered SEED mode.

"BRING IT ON, YOU LITTLE TWERP!"

Shinn charged at Ryo.

"RAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
