In the deep depths of space, a raging battle was going on between two determined heroes and one treacherous villain. Everyone from within the Archangel were watching the final battle take place. They were rooting for the two and hoped that they might return home. But the two were defeated real badly and were brought back to the Archangel, alive. Suddenly, a huge cannon from the villainous gundam aimed at the Archangel. Thinking that they were doomed, everyone lost their hope. The blast came, but it never made contact. Two new mobile suits saved the ship from the beam of light. They soon went into a mode beyond human, SEED mode. The two heroes then charged at the enormous villain. They're names...Kira and Shinn. The two charged at Orion with great force, thinking about the people they left behind and the people that are waiting for them. Flashing lights were everywhere. The Strike Zero and Destiny Impulse were as fast as lightning. It was the final battle that would determine the fate of the world.
"What do you think you're doing! We are the same kind of beings! We are coordinators! Humans deserve to die after the way they've treated us!"
Kira disagreed with Orion's fact. He charged straight at him and started shooting.
"You're wrong! We're not the same kind of beings! People don't deserve to die! The only ones who deserve to die are the ones who are too blind to see what they are really doing!"
Shinn also disagreed with Orion's fact and started shooting him.
"There are people in this world that we have to protect! People from ORB, people from PLANT, and all those in between!"
Both starting shooting Orion. The blasts only caused minimal damage. He then shot multiple missiles and lasers. The Eternal countered the missiles with its own missiles. Kira and Shinn dodged the lasers. Kira got behind him and tackled him.
"What the hell would you'll get by leaving a path of destruction everywhere you go!"
"I'll get everything I want!"
He threw Kira off his back. Shinn headbutted him from the back.
"Wrong! What you'll get is nothing!"
Angered by his statement, Orion threw Shinn straight into Kira. The two watched as his anger transformed his gundam from a Lamia to a Dragon-like gundam. The wings were getting bigger. The arms were turning into legs. His neck was getting longer. The new gundam was more horrifying then before. Orion was partially fused into his gundam. The two charged at the newly formed gundam. Meanwhile, Athrun was watching the battle. Unable to do anything, the only thing he could do was watch. He is then joined by Cagalli. She rested her head on Athrun's shoulder. She hoped that Kira and Shinn would return safely. In the cockpit of the Archangel, Mwu and Murrue were watching the battle. She tightly held Mwu's hand, which winced a little. Miriallia was pushing Dearka in wheelchair and they caught sight of the battle from a window on their way to the kitchen. On board the Eternal, Lacus held her ring and put it against her heart. She started to pray for Kira and Shinn. Luna just watched tthe two duke it out with Orion. Back in the battle, Kira grabbed Orion's tail and started pulling it, but the tail just came. It was no longer part of the gundam. Shinn blasted it with all he had. But it managed the blow the two back.
"I'LL KILL BOTH OF YOU!"
Orion charged at both Kira and Shinn. Both pulled out their guns and started shooting. The dragon-like gundam shot a huge beam of light, but the two managed to dodge. They then charged and started shooting. The gundam just kept on dodging, but that didn't make them give up. Shinn grabbed his cannons and shot five huge beams. Kira did the samething. But he still managed to dodge. Then, Kira jumped and latched on to the dragon's back. Shinn then grabbed back legs and started pulling. Orion struggled to geet free. Kira kept on punching his back and Shinn kept on pulling his feet. Finally, Orion broke free, sending Kira and Shinn flying. Orion's heart started to beat faster and faster. His body started to fuse into the gundam. His power started increasing. The blood in his veins rapidly sped up. There was a look of hatred in his eyes.
"Now you've done it! Prepare to face...MY ULTIMATE FORM!"
Orion started to laugh maniacally. His laugh echoed throughout the battlefield. His gundam started to glow. Both Kira and Shinn's eyes widened.
"Shinn! We have to stop this!"
"I know! But how!"
They both charged at Orion. Then a huge burst of light pushed them both back. As the light faded, it revealed a black human-shaped gundam with blood red wings.
"No!" said Athrun.
"Is that...! yelled Murrue.
"It can't be...!" said Dearka.
"The Death Gundam!" yelled Mwu.
The new gundam just stood there. Orion was fully fused into his gundam. Kira and Shinn just stood there, wondering why he's not moving. He then turned to the two of them. Both of them pulled out their swords.
"Kira! Leave this to me! I'll destroy him!"
Shinn charged at the black gundam. He started slashing away, but the gundam was just too fast. Shinn continued to slash at him, but it was futile. Shinn was then surprised as gundam ended up behind and kicked him in the back. Kira then charged at him. He to grab him, but Orion ended up grabbing him and threw him. Shinn charged again at Orion. Spinning 360 degrees, he put his blade on top of his head, with the bottom part of the sword touching the top of his head. He then used himself as a drill, but Orion dodged it and gave Shinn a 180 degree spinning punch, which sent him flying. Kira flew back and slashed at Orion from behind. Orion was barely able to dodge it, as part of his left wing fell off. Shinn then kicked him from behind and sent him 3 miles forward. Orion turned back with an angry look. He grabbed two guns and started shooting. Shinn and Kira tried dodging them, but it was futile. Kira lost his right leg and left arm. Shinn lost his left leg and right arm. Orion then charged at them. The two were barely able to dodge his attack. Then, Orion shot two huge beams past Kira and Shinn and right at the Eternal and Archangel. Thinking quickly, the two threw there shields in front of the Archangel and Eternal, deflecting them right back at Orion, destroying both his arms. It was then that he had no choice. He transformed into a large cannon and aimed at Kira and Shinn, who were standing in front of the earth. Everyone's thoughts soon went from positive to negative, then back to positive.
Athrun: Is this the end?
Murrue: No!
Mwu: It can't end like this...
Dearka: Have we lost?
Miriallia: This can't be!
Lunamaria: Is this the end of earth as we know it?
Lacus: It's all over...
Cagalli: No! I won't give up!
Athrun: There's gotta be another way!
Murrue: We've gotta do something.
Mwu: The earth is our home!
Dearka: All we've done won't be for nothing.
Miriallia: I promised my parents I'd be back.
Lunamaria: I won't turn my back on the earth!
Lacus: Everyone is counting on us!
All: YOU CAN DO IT, KIRA AND SHINN!
Just then, the cannon made a huge beam. Kira and Shinn turned their remaining arms into cannons. The huge cannon then fired.
"NOW!" they both yelled in unison.
They both shot a smaller, yet more powerful blast. It ripped through the bigger beam. making it disappear. Then, it hit Orion, sending straight into s ZAFT spaceship. It caused a huge explosion, taking the gundam with it. Kira and Shinn were caught in the explosion. After the explosion, there was nothing but smoke. Lacus and Lunamaria screamed their names, but there was no response.
"KIRA!"
"SHINN!"
Just then, the smoke cleared. It revealed Kira and Shinn drifting through space. The two looked at eachother and laughed. Lacus and Luna smiled when they found that the ones they loved were still alive. Athrun and everyone else started to smile. Orion was dead, and so was the war. The Archangel pulled both of them in. They were now heading towards earth...their home.
