Hey guys,
Sorry for the late update. I had a lot less free time then I thought. I know I said that I would update once a week, but now I'm going to update every other week.
For those who want to know what Naruto's harem her it is:
The tailed beasts, Kaguya, Kushina, Lacus, Cagali.
This is not the final list but this is all that I am saying for now.
Enjoy the update.
The Archangel continued to ascend higher into to the sky of Heliopolis. Rau was the first to snap out of his shock.
"The battleship!? They failed to destroy it?"
Rau approached the ship in an attempt to destroy the bridge. When he was in range he fired his machine gun. The Archangel dodged by sharply turning to the left. As the ship turned, the Lightning charged from behind the ship with its beam saber drawn to strike the enemy before him.
"Another gundam?! Damn, according to the information there should only be five units not six. Looks like the earth forces were more prepared then I thought."
Rau raised his machine gun and fired. However he was out of ammo and was forced to dodge the beam saber.
"Kira!" Shouted Naruto. "Hurry up and attach the pack!"
Naruto's voice snapped Kira out of his daze and he finished attaching the pack. Back in the sky Rau was just barely dodging the Lightning's attack. He was being pushed back. He quickly drew the GINN's sword and began to clash weapons. As they clashed the sword began to heat up and turn red. With one final clash the Lightning sliced through the GINN's sword. Just as he was about to strike the main unit, Rau showed his superior piloting skills. He dodged the strike and maneuvered himself so that he was behind the Lightning.
"This pilot is surprisingly good for a natural." He noticed the Strike on the ground and smirked.
"I'll take out the second unit then."
He used the Lightning as a spring board and propelled himself in Kira's direction. As he was moving he placed a new clip in his machine gun. Kira noticed this and activated his phase shift.
"Phase shit? Then how about this?!"
Murrue looked at the approaching enemy unit. She turned to the students.
"Take cover!"
The GINN began to fire on the Strike and the students as they ran for cover. Kira kneeled down so that he was providing them cover. The GINN paced overhead.
"Tch, not even the armour piercing rounds are effective. I hate to admit but the naturals really created a powerful tool."
Archangel Bridge
Sitting in the captain's seat was Natarle and she was ready to strike back.
"Prepare stern missile tube for firing! Target the enemy mobile suit! Listen, under no circumstances are we to hit the colony walls!"
The missile tubes opened.
"Fire!"
The Archangel fired at the GINN. The mobile suit dodged the first missile and as he was retreating backwards he fired at the second one causing it to explode. He then used the support beam as a shield. The third missile hit it.
Back on the ground Kira and the others saw the damage that the colony was receiving.
"Wha…?! You've gotta be kidding!"
He prepared the launcher Strike's main canon and took aim. His target; the GINN. Murrue saw what Kira was about to do and tried to stop him but it was too late. The Strike fired the beam canon. The GINN dodged the beam and it hit the colony wall. The power behind the attack was much greater then Kira imagined. He blew a hole right through the wall. The damaged Kira caused to his home made him freeze. Before Rau could retaliate his sixth sense kicked in. He was lucky that it did. A beam struck his left leg destroying it. He turned around and saw the Lightning crouched down aiming his beam sniper at him. Rau quickly made his escpae through the hole Kira made.
"How could they create a mobile suit with such power? The blue one as well. How was it able to destroy my blade so easily?"
After Rau left everyone was relived. Everyone but Naruto. He just stared at the damage done.
ZAFT ship
The Aegis was being checked by the mechanics. In the cockpit was a man in a red pilot suit rapidly typing on the keyboared. The man was actually a boy no older then sixteen. He had blue hair and green eyes. This is Athrun Zala. As he typed he began to day dream. In the dream was a younger him and Kira on a path with sakura trees in full blossom. Then he thought about h how they reunited at Morgenroete. He was borught out of his day dream when he was alerted by the mechanic that he was working on his computer as well.
"Sorry! I started working on your as well by mistake."
"Oh, don't worry. No harm done. We're done with the external check and the recharge. How about you?"
"I'm done as well. Seriously though how did they manga with this OS? It's trash."
As Athrun began to leave the cockpit, the warning alarm for an incoming unit sounded. He was surprised to see Commader Le Crueset return in such bad shape.
'If he fought against him…'
Inside Heliopolis
The Archangel has landed with one of the hatches on the legs open. The Strike and Lightning were kneeling down inside it. The students and Murrue just got off the Strike's hand.
"Lieutenant Ramius!"
They turned and saw Natarle and the rest of the crew heading towards them.
"Ensign Badgiruel." Murrue replied.
Natarle stopped in front of her, saluted and said;
"I'm glad you are alright."
Murrue also saluted and said.
"You as well. I'm glad to see that you were able to protect the Archangel. You saved us."
The two gundams cockpits opened drawing the attention of the crew. They were shocked to see two students climb out. The mechanic said what they were all thinking.
"What's going on here? There only kids. Are you telling they piloted the gundams?"
The students rushed to Naruto and the visibly down Kira. Natarle spoke up.
"Lieutenant Ramius, what's going on?"
Before Murrue could reply she was interrupted.
"Wow, what a surprise."
Mu made his presence known. He walked over to Murrue and the crew and introduced himself.
"I'm Lieutenant Mu La Flaga of the 7th Orbital fleet. Nice to meet you."
They crew saluted to him.
"I'm Lieutenant Murrue Ramius of the 5th special division."
"Enign Natarle Badgiruel of the same division."
They stopped saluting and he continued speaking.
"I would like to board this ship. Who is in charge here?"
Natarle saddened.
"The captain and top officers have all fallen in battle. Therefore, Lieutenant Ramius is now in charge. Only a dozen or so survived."
Murrue was shocked.
"What a disaster. Anyway, Lieutenant please give me permission to board. The ship I was on was shot down."
Murrue got out of her shock.
"Ah, sure. In mean I give you permission."
With that done Mu turned to the students.
"So, who are they?"
"As you can see they are civilians. For some reason one of he was at the factory during the attack. I let him in to the G-weapon. His name is Kira Yamato."
"And the other one?"
"He is also a civilian; however it is still unknown how he got his gundam. His name is Naruto Otsutsuki."
Mu turned to face them properly.
"Th-Thanks to them, we were able to fight of the GINNs."
This shocked the crew. Two civilians were able to defeat GINNs… wait a minute.
"GINNs, as in more than one?" Said Natarle.
"I came here as an escort for the trained pilots," said Mu. "What happened to them?"
"We were bombed when they were meeting the captain. So they didn't survive either."
They walked up to the students. They all became worried, apart from Naruto who had his hands behind his back on a relaxed manner.
"What is it?" Said Kira nervously.
Mu looked and Kira and Naruto.
"You two are coordinators aren't you?"
After getting over the shock, Kira replied.
"Yes."
Some of the crew aimed their guns at Kira. Tolle and Sai stood protectively in front of him. Glaring at the soldiers. Before anything happened Naruto walked between the soldiers and his friends and started at the crew. His icy glare made them freeze.
"I never answered your question, did I? The answer is simple; I'm human. Natural, coordinator who cares. To me I simply see people. People that who are about to hurt my friends. You should be thanking Kira! If it wasn't for him you would have last all of your gundams."
"Naruto's right!" Said Tolle. "Kira may be a coordinator but he isn't the enemy. Didn't you see what happened earlier? You've got to be out of your mind! Kira and Naruto were simply trying to clean up the mess you made. Look at what you have done to our home!"
Seeing his friends defend him without hesitation brought a small smile to Kira.
"Thank you, everyone."
Murrue stepped in between the crew and the students.
"Lower your weapons!"
They reluctantly followed her orders. They were lucky that they did. Naruto could tell they actually meant to cause them harm so he was this close to tearing them a new one. Natarle questioned Murrue.
"Lieutenant! Please explain yourself."
"There is nothing to explain. This is a neutral colony. It's only natural that coordinators who don't want to participate in the war would come here. Am I right Kira?"
"You are right. Especially with me being a first-generation coordinator."
"So your parents are Naturals?" Asked Mu. "Well I apologize for causing a commotion. I was just curious."
"It's fine." They turned to Naruto who had his hands behind his head. "No harm done. In case you are wondering I'm a Natural."
Techniquely not a lie. He was born as a Natural in the elemental nations. Here though, well it could be debated but they didn't need to know his past. At least not yet.
"Hmm. Interesting. On my way here I saw the trained pilots simulations. However they best they could do was get them to move. You two, Coordinators or not, have done something that not even the best of the earth forces could do."
Mu began to walk off. Natarle stopped him.
"Where are you going?"
"What do you mean? The ZAFT team outside is Le Crueset's." The crew's eyes widened. "He is a persistent fellow."
ZAFT ship
In the hangar a GINN was being fitted with missiles. In the pilot observation room we find three teens. One with dark skin and blonde hair, another with silver and the final one has green hair.
"What is the commander thinking? Is he planning to capture a fortress or something?" Said the blonde haired man.
The green haired boy was concerned.
"But what will happen to Heliopolis?"
"Nicol." The green haired Nicol turned to silver haired man. "They deserve whatever happens to them. They declared themselves neutral and they help the natural scum."
The blonde haired Dearka continued.
"Yzak is right. They've made their bed and now they have to lie in it."
Nicol continued to stare at the mobile suits being fitted with extra equipment. He was still unsure if this was the right thing to do. He prayed that minimal harm would come to the colony and its inhabitants.
Archangel
The crew were taking what they needed from Morganroeate. Food, water and even mobile suit parts. They needed to hurry. The enemy could attack at any moment. The mechanics were checking the Strike to see if anything was wrong. They also tried to study the Lightning. Emphasis on tried. Every time they scanned it, they got no results. They could go into the cockpit but couldn't start the unit. Everything about it was a complete mystery.
The students are currently in the sleeping quarters. Naruto was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed.
'Am I doing the right thing?'
He looked at his worried the friends. Kira was sleeping. All the excitement tired him out. The others were talking about their situation.
'Don't doubt yourself Naruto.'
'But Knight'
'I know. You don't want to get them involved but whether you wanted them too or not, they would have eventually gotten involved. That is the nature of this war. No one can hide from it. Not even ORB. At least with them nearby you can protect them.'
After thinking about it, Naruto couldn't disagree with him. Tolle looked at Kira's sleeping form.
"I can't believe he can sleep through all of this."
"He's tired," Said Miriallia, "He has been through a lot, it was tough for him."
Kuzzey spoke up.
"It was tough? Well, I guess that is all we can say but…"
"What are you trying to say?" Questioned Sai.
"Nothing really. Just that with Kira all we can say is that 'it was tough for him.' He said that he rewrote the OS for the gundam, right? When did he have time to do it? I'm 100% sure that Kira didn't know anything about it. Since that is the case, just when did he rewrite the OS? We all know that Kira is a coordinator and none of us cared. Coordiantors who have had their genes altered can do all these amazing thing, but to them it's just 'tough.' If everyone in ZAFT is like Kira, do the earth forces really stand a chance?"
What Kuzzey just said shocked them. Sai was about to speak up but he couldn't deny what Kuzzey said. None of them can. They all looked at the ground and thought. However, the silence was broken by a slap. They looked up and say Kuzzey rubbing the back of his head after Naruto lightly hit him.
"Really?" Naruto said. "Did you forget that I am smarter, faster and stronger then Kira and I'm a natural."
Naruto looked at the sleeping Kira and continued.
"Kira may have had his genes altered but he still had to work to be the person he is today. In this world there is no easy path. We all have to try are hardest to become better than we were yesterday. Kir-, No, all coordinators are the same. All that matters is this."
Naruto pointed to his heart.
Some of the earth forces don't believe that coordinators are human since they messed with the natural order. However, humanity is just a word. I bet that there are demons in this world that have more humanity then some people. That's why I know that things will be fine. We can't give up hope for a brighter tomorrow. I'll protect it, your final hope! If I fail then I will become your new hope!"
Naruto's speech brought smiles to their faces. No matter what Naruto was always able to bring them out of their despair. Their eyes had a new determination in them. They will survive!
ZAFT ship
The GINNs with the special equipment are launching. However, they were about to have an unwanted tag along.
Athrun Zala was preparing to launch in the unit he stole, the Aegis. He was ordered not to leave. The new Gundams are too valuable and the GINN pilots have a bone to pick with the white gundam. He knew that he was going to punished for disobeying orders but he had to know. Was that really Kira?
He moved to the catapult and launched. His destination; Heliopolis.
Archangel
The radar was able to pick up the approaching units. Murrue was trying to convince Kira to fight. Naruto was simply leaning on the wall.
"I refuse! Please don't get involve us in this war any further then you already have!"
"Kira."
"You were right. In the outside world a war is going on but we don't agree with it! We hate the war! That's why we chose to live in neutral territory!" Before Murrue could resound the ships loudspeakers called her. She went to one of the communication devices on the ship wall so that she could be updated. She learnt that she was now the captain, the imminent attack and the Mu's Zero was useless. Naruto heard enough. He moved off the wall and began to walk off.
"Where are you going" asked Sai.
"To the hanger," He replied. Then he stopped. With his back still turned he spoke.
"Kira, I know you're scared. So am I but you heard what they said. The enemy is coming. We didn't ask for this but here we are."
He turned and looked Kira in the eyes.
"Kira, nobody can force you to fight, you're not a soldier. They can't order you to protect this ship but I'm still going. There is something on this ship that I am willing to die in order to keep it safe. I know what I am fighting for; the question is what a will you fight for?" He turned his back and kept walking away. "You must find the answer before you head to the battle field."
Kira was confused. What was so important that Naruto would give up his life? Suddenly it came to him. Naruto isn't protecting the ship, but his friends that are on it! Right now only he and Naruto have the power to fight. Kira began to run in order to catch up to Naruto. He wouldn't place this burden on Naruto alone. He also wanted to protect his friends!
The t two pilots didn't notice the grateful smile Murrue was giving them, mainly Naruto or the fact that the remaining students giving each other. They have also made their decision.
Time skip
The Archangel has just launched Murrue was sitting in the captain's chair.
"Our top priority is to escape Heiopolis. Be careful not to damage the colony during the battle."
In the hanger the Lightning was on the left catapult while the Strike was being fitted with the Sword striker pack in the right. Naruto opned the communication channels between the Units.
"Kira, what was your answer?"
"I want to protect my friends, that includes you Naruto. For as long as I've known you, you always take it apon yourself to help others no matter the damage you do to yourself. That's why I refused to let you fight alone!"
Naruto was wide eyed.
"Thank you."
The colony wall exploded. Through the hole came the GINNs, however shortly behind them was the Aegis. The Strike and Lightning launched.
Strike
The Strike drew his blade and began to one of the GINNs. This one was armed with a beam bazooka. He tried to slash the GINN but it dodged and fired. Kira dodged them beam but it hit one of the support cables for the colony destroying it and causing more damage to the colony. Inside Kira's mind he kept seeing images of the damage he had done to the colony.
He dodged another beam and went forward to slash the GINN but it moved backwards at high speed and fired. The beam was a direct hit. The GINN pilot was having a small celerbration when he noticed that the Stirke blocked the beam with his shield.
Athrun went to help. He tried to attack from behind but Kira saw the attack on his monitor and dodged. Athrun was asking himself if it was really Kira in the Strike, while Kira remembered that the Aegis was the unit that Athrun was in.
The GINN tried to take advantage of Athrun's diversion and fired his bazooka but the Strike fired his thrusters in max and moved upward to dodge. Kira drew the beam boomerang from his shoulder and threw it at the GINN. The GINN dodged and was preparing to fire another shot, however he never noticed the boomerang return. He beam sliced of his legs. Kira used this opportunity to finish of his opponent. He used his blade to slice the GINN into two, destroying it.
Lightning
The two four other GINNs attacked the archangel. Just before the first unit was about to fire a pink beam passed through his chest causing an explosion. The other three saw the Lightning approaching. Two of them continued to the archangel while the last one decided to face Naruto.
The GINNs have been informed about the power of the Lightning's beam saber so he decided to lkeep the battle long range. Both units were circling each other as they fired at one another. Something was wrong with Naruto. His eyesight was going blurry. Normally a fight like this would have been over the minute it started.
Both units kept attacking. The distance between them slowly closing. When they were close enough Lightning quickly drew his beam saber and tried to finish the GINN. He was only able to take off one of his arms. The GINN aimed his machine gun at the Lightning's exposed back. Before he could pull the trigger something collided with his back. What he saw next surprised him; it was the Lighting's back pack! Naruto took this chance and finished off the GINN with his beam saber.
After this battle he made a mental note to find out what was wrong with his eyes. A large explosion brought him out of his musings. He saw that the main support of the colony was falling apart. It seems that the Archangel was able to destroy on of the other GINNs but accidently critically damged the colony in the process!
Earlier with the Strike
The Strike and Aegis were staring each other done. Before Kira attacked a communication came in.
"Kira. Kira Yamato."
How did the person know him? Unless…
"So it is you, isn't it Kira?"
"Athrun? Athrun Zala! Why? Why are you here?!"
"That's what I want to know! What are you doing in that thing?"
Before Kira could answer the colony began to break up. The sudden change in air pressure caused the Strike to be pulled outside.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!"
"Kira!"
Well that's done. For those that read my other stories they will be updated either today or tomorrow.
Once again expect the next update in two weeks.
