Opening Song (Hologram)
"Masshiro na keshiki ni ima sosowarete" Bright Vermilion light shines from the eyes of the Agito Zero as the camera pans down to the torso to reveal Anthony with his eyes closed.
"Boku wa yuku no mada minu sekai e" Anthony opens his eyes and begins to move his suit. As he does this the entire screen is now engulfed with Vermilion light and the Logo of Gundam Agito SEED appears.
"Maigo no mama tabi shiteita" Anthony is sitting with his back to the Agito Zero, flipping through pages of his book.
"Nezumiiro no sora no shita." Anthony turns his head slightly to look in the direction of the camera.
"Higawari no chizu ikutsumo no yume ga nijindeita." This scene shows Kira sitting and looking at earth while Lacus comes from behind and places her hands over his eyes and then removes them as she smiles.
"Itsuka wa sa." The scene now shows Delilah as she now gets into a mobile suit and prepares to launch.
"Chippoke na boku no kono hohaba demo." This Scene show Andrew Waltfeld looking over the desert at night while the winds blows. The Camera pans out to show that Ashia and DeCosta are with him.
"Ano kumo no mukou made yukeru kana." The view now shows a line of the crew of the Archangel. It pans to the left showing Kuzzey, Flay, Sai, Miriallia, Tolle, Natarle, Mu and then it zooms in to show Murrue. Behind Murrue there is a flag of the Atlantic Federation.
"Tsuyogatte" Anthony looks straight ahead at a man, the wind blowing his crimson cape behind him, his eyes are narrowed and his face is empty of emotion.
"Kizutasutia" Rau Le Creuset Now turns his mask on and his hair being blown in the wind, he has a smirk on his face as he faces Anthony.
"Kokoro sukashita youni." The two of them are standing off and the image of the Earth's sphere is in between the two of them.
"Furidashita" A feminine hand reaches out for Anthony and he does the same, only the hand that is reaching out for him fades before the two can make contact.
"Amastubu tachi ga" Anthony wakes up in his mobile suit and holding a picture in his hands. The camera zooms in on during the last word to show him standing and smiling with a young woman.
"Ran hansha Kurikaesu" The scene shows a sign saying extend then three Mobile suits one Grey tinted Green, One Black and the last a Grey tinted Blue. A Man with Blonde hair in white stands smiling at them as the scene breaks to show Rau Le Creuset in front of the Dominion.
"Massugu na hikari ga, Kousa shite" The scene shows Kira in the Freedom cutting down to GINNs, the first it passes him, the other he uses the cannons on the Freedom to shoot down.
"Yukusaki mo tsugenumama" The ground is on fire and the Blitz, Duel and Buster emerge out of the flames to take on an unseen enemy.
"Doko made mo, Tsuknukeru" The view pans past Delilah in a custom GINN that is coloured bright yellow and turns to show that she is firing at an unseen enemy in space.
"Awai zanzou ryoume ni yakitsukete." This scene pans to the right as it reveals the Clamity, the Forbidden and the Raider, above the ocean trying to land a hit on the Agito Zero and each one being thrown back.
"Kono sora no shita" The scene shows Rau's Custom white GINN flying forth with its beam sabre.
"Donna toko ni itemo" This scene show Mu face and the Strike clashing beam sabres with Rau in his GINN. The scene is lit up with the light coming from the class.
"Tokoku hazu nanda, mada minu sekai e" The scene is of that when Anthony is facing the camera, he turns his head closes his book stands up and moves towards his cockpit.
Chapter Twenty
"The same melody repeats itself as the song grows richer and more beautiful. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could live seemingly constant lives while experiencing changes bit by bit?" Sayuri Kurata (Kanon)
Anthony Hitoro now stood before the MS Agito Zero, he had to take this final step before it was too late.
If he did take this step he would be on his own or rather he would have to give up his plans to build the AEUG.
He had been too caught up in his own plans or rather how he thought or wished things would go.
He knew it was his own mistake, these people they were not characters in an anime or a virtual reality, no they were real and like real people they could mistrust him.
Up till now he had viewed it as reality, but he had also viewed it as a game.
Perhaps that had been the error on his part, he should know better than to just expect Lacus to trust him.
Even with what he had done it was no where near enough to truly earn her trust.
But then again, he may not need to, his suit the Agito Zero was by far the most advanced here, in fact he was sure that it would be for a long time.
"I guess it is now or never, I aint gonna live forever."
It was true he was not and each moment he spent in here was a moment he was not home.
If he had to take away anything from that event with Lacus, it would be that he did not belong here, all of it was a lie.
"It is not my home, but I have messed it up enough that I will have to at least clean up before I leave it, I guess I should also act on my own and not as a part of any force Destiny can handle itself, for all I care."
As this thought crossed his mind he began to move to the Agito Zero, this entire area was a dead zone or, all security had been taken care of by the Agito Zero.
At least this way he did not have to worry about ZAFT getting Kira or the others for now.
"I guess I am alone here, I'll do what I can to stop Rau, but then I will devote all of my time to getting the hell back home."
He had been away for far to long, his friends his family those who were like family and those who he knew.
He had not seen them for a while now and it was now starting to feel as if he would never see them again.
"I can't think like that, if I do then all hope I have for getting home is lost."
He now climbed into the cockpit of the Agito Zero and began to activate the system to show him the best next course of action.
Locking his suit he got changed into his Agito Cadet Uniform.
The system directed him to leave the PLANTS and go to a certain colony, it had to be the one where Mu got shot by Rau.
Anthony now gave a slight curse as he said "Okay I now regret not taking a Space Suit."
The system now made adjustments for this, it stated he should go to ORB or at least try to set down near ORB and wait till the Archangel came there after the betrayal by their own side.
It did give Anthony some joy to know that he could at least hear Murrue tell him that he was right and how she was wrong.
"I guess some things won't change while others will, at least I have the Agito Zero with me at the end of all things."
Then it hit him "If I am at the battle of ORB, I should look for Shinn and save his family."
That would put a spanner in the works for Destiny and all he had to do was be aware of Shinn at the battle of ORB.
The Agito Zero's presence was now known to any who saw it as Anthony moved it out and away from the PLANT.
"Agito Zero, run scenarios on the battle of ORB, get me the area where Shinn was and what it was that hit him."
The Agito Zero responded by pulling up imaged stored in it from Gundam SEED as well as Gundam SEED Destiny.
Anthony viewed this and then pulled up a visual of ORB on one of the other screens.
"Enhance that area and run simulations on how to prevent it."
As his suit set to work on that Anthony now brought up the area around him and saw that he was being followed by at least 10 GINNs.
"Oh come one, give me a better battle than that, Agito Zero, switch to offensive GN particles, I have taken it easy on these guys too long."
Putting on the shades that he had on him he looked in at the reflection of himself and said "I was one of the top Gunpla fighters, not to mention I was the first to win a tournament in Zaku, not to mention that based Meijin off what I used to wear to the tournaments."
"I had to change my outfit because people would mistake me, Tomoya used to say I should just be one."
Anthony now saw that he had gotten just far enough away from the PLANTS that they would not be in harms way in case of a stray shot.
Anthony now said "Agito Zero, scramble voice and open a the speakers, deactivate the System, I'll do this the old fashioned way."
Anthony saw that System was indeed off, but he was still seeing some things that were yet to pass.
Deciding to speak to those ZAFT pilots and give them a chance Anthony said "You have exactly one minute to retreat or be struck down, I care not which you do, if you stay and fight."
"I will disable your suits, I cannot guarantee your oxygen due to the fight, if you wish to live pull back now."
The speaker was now inactive and Anthony said "Agito Zero, prepare to enter combat, Mobile fighter G mode."
Now standing up from where he was, Anthony now braced himself and took in a deep breath.
The seconds were ticking by and not a single suit was yet to leave, in a sense it meant that either they all wanted to die, or since Anthony had not killed a pilot of there yet.
They were banking on that he would just beat them and not kill them.
As the end of the minute drew near Anthony now got ready, he could see them, he could see the enemy and he knew just how to beat them.
With Lacus
Lacus could see the reports, 10 pilots of ZAFT were now in critical condition, all of them were alive, yet all of them now suffered from some form of oxygen deficiency.
What Anthony had done, Lacus did not truly know, but what she did know was that during his fight with them, he had let all 10 pilots live, only to suffer.
ZAFT had not released any thing else on the matter, she was sure they were keeping what it was that really injured some of the pilots a secret.
Kira was with her, he knew that Anthony was a bit angry, but to disable 10 suits and vent their oxygen that was not like him.
Delilah who had been saved by the pilot in question was sure that he did not attack their oxygen, the man had saved her while she had been trying to kill him.
The eerie silence was broken when Delilah said "I doubt that this is the whole truth, I cannot see Anthony attack them in such a way, cutting them off from their oxygen, that is not how he has fought so far, perhaps it was something else?"
Lacus now looked to Delilah and gave her a nod "I agree, it is not often ZAFT tells us the whole truth and if Anthony did indeed cut their oxygen, those who he did it to first would be dead."
Kira was able to see where this is going and said "I think we should stop talking."
Lacus now turned to him and asked "Why do you say that Kira?"
In reply Kira just said "It is, it is because you did not trust him that he just walked out on us, I think if we just debate if he did or did not do this or if he has more weapons, that we will never get a chance to speak to him again."
That was true and Lacus knew it "Kira, I know that, but at this point in time, we do not know enough about him to trust him, he may or may not be from another world, part of me wants to believe that it is true, but if so why did he come here, how does he know so much?"
Kira now yelled "Don't talk about him like you know him, you were not with us on board the Archangel while ZAFT tried to hunt us down, he was there for us, when it counted, he was by my side!"
Both Laucs and Delilah were in a bit of a daze they did not expect Kira to lash out like this.
"Who cares why he is here, so far he has helped me and those who I wanted to protect and neither of you can say that he was wrong in wanting to help us out, you saw the civilians we had on board Lacus."
It was true Lacus thanks to Mr Pink had seen the people who were part of ORB, all of them had been on board when ZAFT tried to bring down the Archangel.
Lacus now began to feel a little sick.
Lacus recalled the words Anthony had said to them prior to his leaving "I've saved all three of you more than once and this is what you think of me, I did not save you because I had an agenda, I saved you because I wanted to."
As she recalled this she could hear the anger and the frustration in his voice, it did not help her.
Just a moment ago she felt cautious around him, but now she felt shame, shame that she had not tried to reach out to him.
Shame that she had not gone with Kira to try and stop him, shame that she a person who strove to understand others had chosen not to try with him.
In her heart deep down she wanted to make it up to him, to tell him that she was sorry that she doubted him.
But she knew that it would not do any good, her actions had spoken for her.
Anthony was not going to contact her or accept any form of contact from her.
"Why did I choose to suspect him, it was the natural thing to do, but after he has done so much for Kira, what came over me and made me act like that?"
Lacus had not said this out loud, it was but a thought, she gave a blink when she heard a voice answer her "It is Fear Lacus."
She now looked to Kira, but he had not heard this voice nor had Delilah, just as Lacus was about to dismiss it, she heard it again.
"Lacus, I am very real, please do not dismiss me as if I were not, it is not like you."
Again Lacus heard it, was it inside her head, Kira was talking to Delilah about why he thought Anthony was a good person so Lacus now closed her eyes. And tried to hear the voice again, picking up on the fact that said voice could hear her thoughts she thought "Who are you, why do I feel that I have met you?" In reply to her the voice said "You do not know me Lacus, but I do know you and I know for a fact that up until this day Anthony looked up to." Lacus in turn thought "Wait what, he looked up to me, what do you mean by that." Her reply was brief yet also deep "In the same way a child looks up to a saint." Now that was high praise and Lacus could only think "Why, why would he think so highly of me." The voice just said to her "Perhaps it is your ideals and they way you wish to strive to peace rather than war, it also may be the fact that you do not judge others like most of the PLANTS or so do." This was news to Lacus, she had no idea that Anthony had help her in high regard just for that, it also made her feel a little worse for the fact that he had held as in past tense. That meant that he no longer did and in fact, may be the reason why he just left them. "Can I ask who you are, I just want to know how you know all of this?"
The voice playfully replied to her "Was it not such questions that made Anthony turn from you, he is a very kind man, but deep down he is fragile."
This was also news to Lacus, she knew that Anthony had felt pain in his life, but this was the first time another person had called him fragile.
Lacus now asked "Wait, what do you mean that he is fragile?"
The voice now in reply said to her "He is a shell of what he was when I knew him, he hurts every day, he feels guilty about what he thinks he failed to do."
Lacus was able to tell that from when she saw that video but she was unsure what it was this voice was trying to get at.
She was still unsure if this voice was truly real or not.
"Lacus, he did not lie to you when he said he had no intent to come here and it was all an accident that he did, in fact he was not trying to leave his home at all."
Lacus now asked "Wait if that is true then how did he come to be here and why was he in a mobile suit."
The voice just replied to her "He got into it again to help out some of his friends, both of them were more than 10 years younger than him, he wasn't going to sit by watch them get beaten or worse."
That made sense, well for the Anthony or at least what Kira knew of him.
Lacus now asked "So he got into his suit for his friend is that why he was in his suit and an accident lead him to come here?"
The voice now said to her "That it is, also due to him not paying full attention to the area around him, but when it comes down to it, the only reason he was in that suit was to save his friends, not so different from Kira."
That was true, in fact that was the exact same reason as to why Kira piloted the MS Strike, why he chose to fight against ZAFT and others like him in the first place.
The voice now said to her "Can you see now why he was upset with you, all of this, he wanted none of it, he thought you above all would be able to understand, he forgot who you are."
Lacus gave a small flinch as she asked "Just who am I then, who am I to you?"
After she said it, she realised that she had not thought it and had said it out loud and Kira as well as Delilah were now looking at her.
"I'll just say the daughter of a political leader, one who has a few skills in that area herself."
Lacus saw that she now had dug herself a whole and might as well just speak in the open, if this voice was real then its intent was clearly to help her.
"So if that is so, can I ask who are you, you did not answer it when I asked you before?"
There was a long silence as both Delilah and Kira just looked at her, but before either of them could speak the voice spoke to her again.
It was just this time both Kira and Delilah seemed to hear it as well.
"Am just a girl a young girl, there is nothing that makes me more than anyone else."
That was a rather cryptic answer but now said voice said "My name is Ayu and I am the first as well as the last love of Anthony Hitoro."
Now that was a bold claim, but all three in the room felt as if it was true but they also knew that Ayu had more to say.
"I was the one who died while he held my hand."
Kira was now the first to speak and said "Ayu, if you're dead as you say, how are you speaking to us here?"
In reply to that Ayu said "I am always in his heart, and those whose hearts he has touched I can speak to, like you Kira."
Lacus then said "Well, if that is true, is he not angry with me, so then how could you speak to me?"
Ayu now said to her "Look at his actions look at what he has done, has that not touched your heart, you may not know all there is to know about him, but deep down you know that he is a good person."
Delilah now spoke "I know that he is a good guy, but to have his um, girlfriend talk for him from beyond the grave that is rather scary?"
Ayu just gave her a question that gave all of them the answer "And mobile suits as you call them, giant robots are not scary?"
Lacus now said "What is it that we can do to prove to Anthony that we trust him and that we want him to be with us."
Ayu now stated "There is no easy answer for that Lacus, the image he had of you, the one he held up high, it is gone, it is a lot easier to gain trust the first time than it is once you've lost it."
That was true, but Lacus said "That may be so, but if we can, we have to, I have to, to make up for my mistrust of him."
In reply to her Ayu said "Just be who you are, you are the image he held of you, all you did was a lapse, that is human and if you what comes naturally to you, he will see past what you have done, but it will take time."
Lacus gave a nod and said "I will do what I have to, it was wrong of me to take such a stance against Anthony, after all he has done."
Ayu just said to her "I hope he can her the sincerity behind your words as I can, he will not at first."
Kira just said "That is to be expected, as you said it will not be easy to gain his trust back, but we will, from what I know, Anthony would not just let people die."
Ayu just said "At least not killing on this scale, you know him well enough Kira Yamato, I guess he was right."
With Anthony
Anthony was now looking at the displays that he had up, all of them were scenarios of the battle of ORB.
So far he was able to save Shinn and his parents in most of them, but that was the problem, he was only able to save in most not all.
"It would seem that I am unable to have ever scenario covered."
At this point Anthony said "Add in the ORB mobile suit and Defence Forces, see if they change the out come of any of the scenarios."
Anthony now narrowed his eyes at the screens in front of him, as a few his failures now became successes, a few of the successes became failures.
"I see so that's how it's going to be, I best get to learning so I know the correct course of action to take."
Anthony now saw that there was an incoming transmission on one of the screens.
"A person has made contact with me, I will not be happy if it is Lacus and co."
Opening a channel he saw that it was indeed Lacus "It is that Haro, it always is the Haro, oh god why."
The pink haired songstress of the PLANTS now asked "Is it a bad time, can we talk please?"
With no emotion in his eyes Anthony said "Say your peace make it quick, I have other things to do, Miss Clyne."
"Anthony, I want to tell you that I am sorry that I chose to mistrust you, I just wanted you to know that."
In reply Anthony said "Noted." He then cut the link and said "Agito Zero block that signal, notify if it she does try again."
Anthony now turned his attention back to the battle of ORB that was going to take place, he knew he had to get this just right in order for it to work.
"All of it, all of it is such a drag, but I guess I can at least finish what I started."
It was at this point that he said "Agito Zero, bring up any plans that we have on how to return home, give all available resources."
A task such as this would take time, even for the System that was installed into the Agito Zero.
Pressing a few of the controls he now said "Agito Zero, divert 30% of the System focus to getting us home.
He was banking on the fact that he would need the rest of it to fight and take on both ZAFT as well as Blue Cosmos.
All of it, in fact the entire world was none of his business, Lacus had only reminded him of that.
"I guess I will return and regroup with the crew of the Archangel after they see what their side is really like."
Part of him wanted to try and stop all of this, to stop JOSH-A, to stop ZAFT, to stop Blue Cosmos, to avoid ORB burning.
But one thing he knew was that if these events did not happen worse could.
That would not be good for anyone, but then again why did he care, it was not that he truly knew these people.
None of them truly knew who he really was even now.
Anthony now looked at his book and to the uniform that he was wearing, he had been wearing it for a very long time now.
"To think I would not have half of this trouble if I was not in this, if this is the work of a being that is more than human, you have a very dark sense of humour."
It was true, the fact that he had been brought to SEED from his own world, the fact that he was in a Final Fantasy Uniform when he came here.
The fact that all of this was so messed up and the lies he told so big that the truth about him so far may never come to the surface.
That was good, the people here would never find out that their lives are a anime a show for teens and kids.
But it was also a bad thing, no one truly knew who he was and he was unable to be truly honest with people due to the nature of the lie.
"Such a drag, since when did it all get like this, just when I was finally able to see a future for myself, I get stuck here and I see as well as hear her."
He was not being honest at all, it was not a drag to him, but it did hurt him, any memory like the ones he had of her were like that.
But he could still recall them all of them fondly even through the pain.
"I guess humans are the only things in the world that can be hurt by joy." But his trip down memory lane was at an end.
His thoughts about Ayu had moved him slightly, to be a little less harsh, if it was the work of God or just luck, that same link was being attempted by that Haro again.
"If it will stop them, I guess I will have to listen to what she has to say."
Opening the channel again, Lacus was their and Anthony now asked "You said what you wished to and I listened, stop trying to speak with me."
She now said to him "I was not done Anthony, I know that you are hurt, I also know that you are hurt because I was the one who decided to question you, but please just give me a chance."
In reply to her Anthony said "I did and you chose to throw it back in my face, I will seek out a way to stop this on my own, you have your own, what did you call it oh yes, you have your own agendas to take care of."
Yes, Anthony had just used what it was she had thought he had on her and now he said "You best get to them, I will do as I see fit, I will act on what I see as right and what I see as wrong, do what you want as long as it does not interfere with me."
Now Kira's voice was heard as well as his face seen "Anthony, don't be so rough on her, she is just human like you and me, we all make mistakes."
Anthony just stated to him "I then suggest that you try not to make them when lives are at stake, tell me what you want so I can give you a straight answer."
It was at this point Kira decided to say "We need you Anthony, you are one of the few guys who sees this war as pointless, I need you to help me so that we can find a way to put an end to it, all of it."
In reply to him Anthony said "That is a noble goal Kira, but that is what you want, what I want, is to go home, as you can see our paths differ."
Kira gave a blink and just stated "Wait, you're just, you're just going to leave after all that you said about trying to stop this, you're just going to leave."
At this Anthony got a little if not very pissed off and said "If it were so simple, I would have done it a while ago, this is not my home, this is not my world, these are not my problems, I fail to see why I have to clean up the mess that you make, if I do clean up for you, you will not know how to yourselves."
All Kira could say was "Tell me that was one of your jokes, Anthony tell me that was a joke, I still have faith in you, don't say these things please."
Anthony now just said "You have faith in me, where was it when Lacus was asking me things that I clearly don't like answering, I gave you time to stop her or at least try to talk to her or even stand up for me, but you did not, don't talk to me about faith."
Anthony now shook his head "I will do what I can to stop what I see as wrong, if that happens to align with yours, good for you, in that case we may be able to cross paths."
Now Anthony went on to say "But know this, I refuse to work with those who do not trust me, I think I fought for you lot on the Archangel enough times for you guys to trust me or should I regret that I chose to side with you and not ZAFT."
If there was ever a slap in the face for Kira this was it, the fact that Anthony had the choice to side with ZAFT and the fact that he could have and killed all of them.
It was at this point Anthony said "Sorry, I am human as well or did you forget, this is getting no where, I'm out."
With that Anthony cut the link "What is it that I am missing, I get the feeling that there is a part in all of this that I am not looking at and it is huge?"
He had the feeling of when there is an important piece to a puzzle and it is not only large but as plain as day as well.
But due to a reason he did not know, he was not able to grasp it or see it.
It dig at him, the fact there was a thing that he did not look into a thing that was so obvious to him, that he forgot to look at it.
Then it hit him and he said "Agito Zero, run by me all dates of the events that are meant to occur here, get me today's date and get me all that we have access to."
JOSH-A
Sai, Miriallia, Flay and Kuzzey were all sitting in silence on board the Archangel, they had lost both Kira as well as Tolle.
But that was not the worst part, now Flay was being taken away to be part of some scheme to gain more recruits for the Atlantic Federation.
"This, this is just bull shit, they can't make me go, my place is here, it will always be here."
Flay said this, she was frustrated with this entire thing "I'll contact my Dad, he'll stop this."
It was at this point Sai said "Flay, I am sure he was one of the people who had a hand in all of this, remember back in space."
Flay recalled what her Dad had tried to do and had tried to get her to do. She also recalled had Anthony not stepped in, she may not even be here right now.
So she now said "I guess, I guess without Anthony, we really did just fall apart."
Her eyes now dropped to the ground, it was true, as soon as Anthony had left, they had lost Kira and Tolle and now were being split up.
Murrue, Sai, Miriallia and Kuzzey were to say on the ship, Natarle had been moved, Mu had been moved and Flay was also to be moved.
Sai now said "Hey and hear we all thought you were not found of him."
Miriallia now said "I guess, I guess we knew that this could happen when we put on these uniforms, all of them."
Sai now gave her a nod "Did any of you hear about that pilot we caught, I know that he got put in the brig due to um, the incident between the two of you."
Sai now looked at Miriallia and Flay who both now looked at the ground.
Kuzzey now said "If he isn't still in the brig, then one can assume that he got taken in by the Alliance."
All of them gave a very slight shiver at the thought of what may happen to him.
It was at this point Sai now said "Guys, let's check if he is there."
Flay turned to him and now asked him "Why do you want to do that?"
Miriallia who was already on the same train of thought as Sai said "Yes, lets go see him."
Kuzzey looking a bit confused now asked "Wait hold up, I don't get it, why do you lot want to go and see him and all?"
In reply to this Sai said "He is a Co-ordinator, I am sure that we all know what the Alliance is going to do to him."
Flay now also caught on to their train of thought and said "But is it not risky, going down there, it might not end well for us, I mean we are part of the military now?"
After she said this she smiled "Oh I get it, this is our last chance to do something as a group, might as well make it memorable as well as a bit rebellious and all."
Kuzzey still did not get it so he asked "Wait what is it that you all get that I don't get?"
All three of them now turned to look at Kuzzey as they were about to leave the mess hall.
Flay now said "Stay here if you want, but we are going to do one last thing as friends and we are going to give those who want to split us up the middle finger as an added bonus."
Yeah, he still did not get it so Sai said "We are going to go and release this Dearka so those bastards in command do not get their hands on him and do experiments on him."
Kuzzey gave a blink and then said "Are you guys insane, we'll all get in trouble for this?"
Miriallia now said "If Kira was here, I am sure that this would be his fate as well."
Kuzzey stopped right in his tracks, he did not think of it that way before and while he did not really agree with all of this, he could see that this was true and that his friend wished to stop it.
It was at this point Sai said "Call it a rebellious streak, he may have been trying to kill us, but from what I was able to hear, those guys treated Kira like he was just part of the Stirke and they want to split us up."
The doored opened and Mu La Flaga was behind it "A tad rebellious I hear?"
All four of them froze at the sight of him, they were in trouble real trouble.
None of them could try to fight Mu, he was a soldier a real soldier and he could hand it to them before they even got a hit on him.
Also he was standing right in the way so they would have to either go through him or not at all.
They were all sure he was going to scold them or worse put them in the brig as well.
But that was not the case, in fact all he did was yawn as he now walked past them.
"I am unsure if the MP's even know about that guy, now if I were still the officer in charge here, I would have to report this if not put all of you in the brig."
He now gave another yawn as he sat down and said "But since I am just here till I am told that I am ready to ship out, I guess, I did not hear any of this."
All of them did not know what to say, did Mu La Flaga, just turn a blind eye to this and to them?
"If you want that to work, I do suggest that you time it well to get him out of here, first thing to do would be to get him out of the brig, from there, I don't know, get him set with a uniform, put him in a place people don't look and then, head out."
Not only was he turning a blind eye, he was also giving them advice on how to get this done.
"See you folks, I guess I won't be seeing you any time soon even if you do pull this off, they got me training the new recruits as to say, didn't I get warned about this?"
With Anthony
Anthony now sat in his suit, viewing the feed from the System that it was feeding him.
He did not like it, he did not like it one bit.
All of it, all of it was like a slap in the face to him, how could he have been so stupid.
"Damn, of course a new suit may or may not speed up the entire thing, damn it all, this is all my fault."
Due to his being here, in fact all that he had done, had sped up most things, all of it, all of it was his fault.
"I should have seen this sooner, Kira was not meant to wake up so fast, what the heck, I do not even want to go into what ZAFT is going to do."
Operation Spitbreak was going to take down JOSH-A but that was still meant to be some time away.
Now it was just a week, sure that was both good and bad, now all he had to do was find a place where he could stay for a week instead of a month.
It was also bad for ORB needed time to rebuild the MS Strike while the Earth Alliance needed time to fix the MS Buster.
That was not good, both of those suits needed to be ready so that Mu and Dearka could both use them.
"I still have no doubt that Rau will leak the operation to the Earth Alliance, but I need to find a way to fix this or at least try to find a way to get around it?"
Anthony now felt a slight sting of regret, he knew what he may be able to pull this off with, but if he did that he may lose his chance to return home.
This world all of it was real, these people even though they were not his own, they were real all of them.
He knew he had let part of the 8th fleet die, knowing that each of them despite how nameless they were, had both families as well as friends, it hurt him.
He now said "Damn, Keith always said that I was way to soft for my own good."
It was true and he knew it, but if he were to throw that away as he was trying to do so, it would be like throwing away who he was.
"This sucks, this really sucks, I know I am going to get bit in the ass for this later."
As he thought this he heard a voice tell him "Oh am I sure that you will not, Anthony."
If the voice had been any clearly it would have been unreal, there was a sting in his heart as he heard this.
Anthony now gave a grumble "I have no idea if this is my suit messing with me, or you really are here and you are messing with me."
With a sigh he now activated the controls on his suit and began to move it, he now said "Agito Zero, get me the quickest route to ORB."
A single screen now did that and Anthony now gave a sigh as he said "Agito Zero get me a link to Lacus or try to reverse the one she had to us, I wish to know if she knows about all of this.
As he was about to contact her, new variables came in that now gave him a very clear indication of what was going on.
All he could say when he saw them was "Oh shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit!"
After this he said "Agito Zero, scrap the ORB plan, get me as close to the PLANTS as we can get before they try to fight us, also get me into their channels as well as their networks."
He did this because of the variables he saw suggested one thing and one thing only, he did not have a week in fact he only had 36 hours given the current time as well as the current future he was seeing here.
"Agito Zero, I need that link to Lacus Clyne now, divert all the focus to it, and send her the data that we have, I guess I will have to say sorry for what I said before."
The System did point out that he did not need to do that.
"Yeah still all the same, I guess I will have to, wouldn't be me if I did not do so."
This was not a good thing, not a good thing at all, a week so say 168 hours if it was the entire week now just became 36.
He did not even have a 4th of the time he thought he did, things had gotten from bad to worse in but a few minutes.
The month was just, but things were only meant to happen in May, May 7th to be exact, it was still only April, sure it was April 19th, but hell this was early.
It was currently around midday to be exact it was 9:00 PM.
This meant that in 36 hours, at April 21th ZAFT was going to launch an all out assault at JOSH-A.
The members of Blue Cosmos in the Atlantic leadership would use this to get rid of the other leaders, like the Eurasian and East Asia who were not part of Blue Cosmos, it was sick as well as revolting.
"I guess all I can do is pray that ORB is not taken down as well so soon and that they hold back."
He now got the line through to Lacus, part of him felt bad for the way he had spoken to her before.
He could see that she had answered it herself and she too was a little bit taken aback.
"Miss Clyne, I am on route to near the PLANTS, did you get the data that I sent you."
She gave him a nod and said "Anthony, what, what is this, are you saying that all of this is going to happen by tomorrow, that all of this has been sped up?"
Anthony gave her a nod and said "You do not have as much time as you thought to get Kira that suit, I suggest that you try to get it to him soon."
Anthony now also added "I will get the Agito Zero to disable all security in the area, I do believe that assist and protect you."
Lacus now said "Anthony, thank you for this, as I said before I am sorry about what I said."
Anthony in turn said "I apologise for the way I spoke before, but I am still not willing to work with you yet, get Kira that suit and make sure he knows the situation."
Lacus now said "Ayu said that you would pull through, I guess she really does know you well."
Anthony froze up for about a second before he said "I will ask you where you heard that name later."
Lacus gave him a nod and said "And I will tell you, are you going to go and warn them?"
Anthony shook his head and said "No that is Kira's job, I will do what I see that I need to, I will send you more data if I get any."
Anthony not disconnected the link, all of this was mad, he had managed to calm himself, or was it him or was it her who had calmed him.
He now pondered what it was that Lacus had told him and he had to wonder "Just where did she hear that name, did I tell Kira, did I?"
Okay so the chapter is done, first up Anthony has not made up per say, he is only working with them due to the fact that things have gone a little faster than he thought they would. If you can't pick the time, then at least be able to pick if you will have people to work with. As for Ayu, well Newtypes can contact the dead people they knew, per say so his connection to her is based on people always living on in your hearts. I know it sounds not as flashy as some things but give me a break please. His bond with her and the fact that he touched the hearts of all three of them, despite the mistrust meant that Ayu since she was in his heart was able to make contact with them, so please bear with me on that. Third up he will not be going to JOSH-A, Kira will be, Anthony will be near it but he will just be sending Murrue a warning to get the hell out of there. My plans for Flay, she will go as cannon with Rau, but she will not be getting taken by the Extends. (LOL Anthony is there so it is now 3 on 3 and Anthony has both the better suit and is a better pilot.) I also expanded his back story a little so PM me if you have more questions on that.
Also Please Review and let me know what you think and how you think the story is going so far, I really do appreciate it, well as long as it is not flaming, so PLEASE REVIEW.
