Chapter Thirty Three
"Every human has another personality that they keep hidden from others." Yakumo Saitō (Physic Detective Yakumo)
Now on board the Eternal, Ezalia Joule was now with her son Yzak, Lacus, Athrun and Dearka. The 5 of them now looked on as Romina just stared at the make shift coffin for her child.
She had not said a word nor had she shed a tear.
It was as if she was frozen to a single point in time unable to move, it would not be nice to be stuck in a thing such as that.
She had been here for 5 minutes now in silence, not a word had been said in this room.
A mother needed to mourn the loss of her child as well as husband, so soon after one another, all the pain she felt within her heart must have been terrible.
But she was alive and she was here, if she had stayed back on the PLANTS.
She was sure that she would be dead at this point in her mind she said "I will have to go and give my thanks to that pilot, what was his name again."
It had an A at the front, but at this point in time, but that did not matter, from what she saw, he did get along with Athrun, Yzak and Dearka.
It was still not in the least bit clear to her, how the man who had beat them so many times was such so polite as well as kind.
But then again all things are not as they appear to be, some things are left hidden while others are not.
Her mind drifted back to her late son "I am not sure, but would Nicol have liked this young man, he does not strike me as the demon that ZAFT said he is, then again ZAFT did not say a lot of things."
She now tapped the glass that allowed her to see the face of her son, despite his last moments, he looked as if he was at peace.
It was as if he was happy or at least had let go or complete what he wished to do the most.
It was now she felt the tears running down her eyes as she looked at her baby boy.
He was not even 17 years old yet he now was dead and gone.
Yuri her husband as well, he to was dead, but he had given her a last goodbye.
His last words had been that he loved her and that he wanted her to live on.
It was at this point she wiped the tears from her eyes and turned around to see her sons friends.
Yzak was unable to look her in the eye while Athrun and Dearka did.
Romina took in a deep breath as she now said "I want to thank all of you for being friends with my son."
It was at this point all three of them clicked their heels stood up straight and gave her a salute as they all said "It is us who are glad that we were friends with him and we are sorry we were not there-."
None of them were able to say that last part, Yzak most of all as his arms now began to tremble with rage as he recalled what had gone done.
Yzak at this point said "Ma'am I am sorry I was there I was unable to do a thing to save him and now, I ran my mouth and his father your husband has paid for it as well."
For the first time in a very long time Ezalia saw her son cry, or rather she saw tears roll down his eyes as he said this to Romina.
"Had only I been able to take action, Nicol would be-!"
He was cut off by a tight slap across his face, it came from Romina who now said "Do not say another word, there is no if, Nicol is not here, but I know that he would want you to be here now and I know that Yuri is glad you said what you did, do not regret it."
To put it bluntly Yzak was in shock that he had just been told this.
Even now he felt as if the deaths of Nicol and now Yuri Amalfi were on his head.
A voice now said to him "Don't put it all on yourself like that kid, it will give you a wound that will never truly heal."
All of them now turned to see that Anthony was with them, how long had he been with them it was unclear, but fact was that he was with them and he was giving Yzak sage advice.
Romina blinked and saw into the eyes of the man, deep in their was loss.
But she was able to tell the type of loss that it was for she was going through it now.
It was the loss of the one or the ones you love the most and it stung this man even today.
Anthony now said "I want to tell you all a story, you have time?"
Yzak at this point gave a nod and said "I will listen to what you have to say?"
Dearka and Athrun both now gave a nod as they said "Yeah, I guess we might as well."
Anthony now looked over to Romina and said "If you want to get some time alone, we can leave?"
Romina shook her head and said "No please stay, I wish to hear what it is you have to say."
He gave her a nod and then said "This is the story about a young woman and her lover and the issues they faced as they were in the world they lived in."
"You see, the young woman, she was bright in fact she excelled at sports, music as well as academics, in short during her time, she was the student council president, when she had been in school."
"It was said that she would go far, but in truth she did not wish to go far."
"She had said it over and over again that she just wished to be with the man she loved."
"He on the other hand was not smart, no it was not that he was not smart, it was until he met her, he had lost the will to live in a sense."
"He was stuck in their small town in the country far from the hustle bustle of a city, he knew that he would be stuck in this town for the rest of his life due to the choices he had made up until this point."
"He had a good heart and during the first half of year, just as summer kicked in, he took in her little half sister and the two of them treated her like their own child."
"But over time, the child wished to see her mother, the woman who had raised her up until this point."
"She did not know it but her mother was dying and she had gone away to a hospital in another part of the land to just well be treated and die."
"Over time the young woman and young man were able to see that she wished to be with her mother, the young man, he had lost his mother at an early age, in his heart he knew that he had to do right by the little girl."
"So after a while, the couple along with the young woman's full blood younger brother and partner were able to track down the little village that this hospital was in."
It was to say the least far out, far away from any other sign of the world we know, in fact it was a 3 hour walk from station to get to the village."
"The child could not come yet, she had to stay back so the brother was chosen to stay and look after her, while the other 3 set off for this small village."
It was at this point Anthony gave a pause as he said "You guys do know what a village is don't you?"
At this point Yzak said "Yes we all know, what is it due to the fact we live up in space that you ask this, wait don't answer that."
The others in the room gave a nod and so the story went on.
"The village was a dump it had little to nothing in it and all of the food was vegetables, due to the fact that they were grown in it and there was no real farm land in the mountain like area."
"The mother at first did not wish for her child to come to this town, not due to the fact that she did not wish to see her, but due to the fact that there was nothing in this town for her child."
"There was no school not even any other children, this town, it was almost as if it is where people come to die."
"The mother did not for her child to stay in such a place for sure."
"It was at this point that the couple did not agree, the young man wished for the child to be with her mother, while the young woman wished for the child to stay and live with them as a family."
The partner of the brother was of the same mind as the young man, but the question was how could they do this?"
"He was not good at most things, but the one thing he had was his sheer will not to let a child lose her mother the way he lost his."
"In the ruins of an old house he began to rebuild it to make it into a school like area for the little girl to stay and play in."
"For the first week he had no help, but at the end of it there was a storm."
"During the storm as he continued his work, but it was a slip of fate that had him slip and fall."
"He did not know it but he had cut open the back of his head badly and was in need of medical attention."
"The partner of the brother found him and used her hands and clothes to close his wound to minimise the bleeding."
"Then she screamed at the top of her lungs until one of the people were able to come and find her and help the young man."
"It was when he woke up his saw the young woman, his lover at his side, despite the fact that they had an argument she had stayed with him as soon as she had learned what occurred."
"She made a call to her brother as well as to a dear friend of her lover."
"In the days that follow that dear friend came to help them out as well."
"It was now and only now that the towns folk began to pitch in and help build this school."
"They put in so much effort they were able to even find a teacher who was willing to come here as well as a few other people."
"When it was all done, they little girl came and they she was able to be stay with her mother, this village was not the end any more."
"It was around this time that the young man collapsed, they had to rush him out to the city to get him treated."
"They managed to save him as, but when he came to he was not himself."
"Had it been just a case of amnesic, it was said to only be a matter of time, but it was not just amnesic."
"His mind as well as his memories had reverted back to when he was 14 years old, his lover all that he had done after that, it was all gone."
"But the problems, they did not end their, in a week in 7 to 10 days time he would collapse and the memories of the past week would be gone."
"The young woman, she stayed with him through this, she did not tell him, weeks turned into months and months turned into 3 years, 3 full years."
"In all that time at the end of the week or so when she would speak to him and tell him what they are trying to do for him all he said was thanks."
"The school in which they met for those 3 years she would take him there to try to find a way for him to remember, it did not work."
"That was not what she wanted to hear, to see him to have him there with her, but for him not to know her, it was painful, but each day, she would walk up the hill and hope that this time he would remember her."
"It took a full 3 years, but at last under the Sakura trees he said it to her, instead of thanks he said the 3 words I love you."
"She told him that she was so happy and that she loved him too."
"It was now that she was able to be brave and tell him the truth that he would soon forget this as well as the feelings he had for her and he would wake up a stranger."
"He was shocked to learn that she had kept this all up for 3 years just for him, she chose to spend 3 years of her life like this with him for love."
"It was at this point she told him that his memories could be cured with surgery, but it success of it was less than half and the survival even less."
"She had been afraid, she did not wish to make the choice for him, for she did not wish to lose the little part of him she had left."
"He then chose to ask her, to marry him, right her and now he did not wish to forgot the feelings he had for her, he would take the surgery for her."
"3 Years, it is a long time to live through the same week over and over again, he did not want that to happen to her."
"He did not want her to do that any more."
"He said that even if he did forget, he was sure that he would get up and fall in love with her all over again."
"So it was here, in this place in front of the school where it all began that they chose to get married."
"It was to their surprise that the very same dear friend chose to appear to the 2 of them."
"In his hand he held two rings and he told them to take to wear it so that they will know."
"It was then that the pain and the start of the process was about to begin and even though he was in immense pain the young man asked that his lover and now wife to smile for him, so he could go out with that smile."
"In a weeks time, his memory was back, he knew who he was and though he would not be able to walk for a little while, he was alive."
"The two of them were not apart and could grow stronger for this."
"The little half sister, she still lived in that village and was brave, her mother is alive and they live happily."
"The brother and his partner, they come back every now and again to see the couple."
In that school and in that town they are known as the miracle pair, they live on with one another even today happily in the arms of one another."
"As for the dear friend, he left when he saw that all was well and done, when he was invited to he came by, but after a while he was unable to, but they knew that he was always with him in their hearts."
It was only now that Anthony took in a deep breath as he said "And that is the end, I thank you for letting me share that tale with you."
All in the room, Lacus who did not have a say in this of all, were either on the verge of tears or had tears in their eyes.
There where many meanings to that story, some spoke parts of it spoke to each person in a way that the other parts did not.
This story held a few messages in their for those who heard it to find in it.
Eternal Hangar
Anthony was here, so was Dearka and Yzak, the 3 of them had to get back to the other 2 ships, after all this ship, the Eternal was made to have only the MS Freedom and the MS Justice in it.
It was not an issue for Dearka and Yzak, they had their own quarters to sleep in and were ready to come and go between all 3 of the ships.
But for Anthony, it was a tad different, due to the fact that he chose to sleep in his MS, the Agito Zero.
He had his reason for this, but fact was that he could not be on a ship that was unable to hold his MS, due to the fact that this ship was only meant to house 2 specific MS and the pilot of the MS Agito Zero, slept in the MS Agito Zero.
"Well it is safe to say I will not be on board the Eternal if things start to get out of hand, don't worry I'll keep in touch over video chat, is that what it is called?"
Lacus gave a nod and said "I will say that I will miss your company."
Anthony now raised an eyebrow at her and calmly said with a smile "I think it is best if you don't go and say things like that, people may get the wrong idea Miss Clyne." The only reason why any of the others would get a wrong idea at this point was due to the fact that Anthony said this to her face.
His intentions were pure though, he wanted Lacus and Kira to spend a bit more time with one another, at this point it should be okay due to Kira not ever having sex or falling in love with Flay.
Flay was also with them at this point so he need not worry about her at all.
"Still a guy has to ask just how did Rau plan to get them the data to make Nukes, well I know or at least know how he could have, but no one else does."
As he thought this he gave a sigh and said "This is going to be hell on out once both sides reveal their hands, I trust that you will do what you have to when the time comes."
What he meant and what Lacus was able to pick up was "It is going to get worse and I mean a lot worse and we are the only ones who will have a chance to stop all of it before it gets way too out of hand for us to handle."
He knew she knew, what he meant, Lacus was by far the smartest person in the room, even more so than Anthony.
Anthony still had the edge on her due to his MS as well as the system in it and the fact he had watched their lives play out on TV.
At this point those were the 3 things that made people think he was a lot smarter than he actually was, then again he was smart normally.
Anthony now got into his MS and gave Lacus and Kira the thumbs up as he now began to leave the ship the Eternal.
Anthony now called out to Kira saying "Kira make sure nothing happens to this ship."
In reply to that Kira said "I'll do what's necessary, good luck to you Anthony."
In reply as Anthony now stood up in his cockpit he said back "To you too Hot Shot."
As Anthony now got out of the Eternal, the last battle was coming soon.
Dominion
Almark gave a smirk as he now read the data that he had gotten "Oh this, this will help us along just fine."
He was alone at this point and he gave a rather twisted smile as he said "The ability to bring this war to a quick as well as clean close is in our hands."
It was true, what he saw in front of him was a way to get back the only real weapon they had that the PLANTS were afraid of.
"This is the real deal, I can see it now, I can see it, all of the light, yes this will bring an end to this war."
He gave a slight chuckle as he now said "I do have to wonder, if I can get a few set aside for that MS, it is a shame that we will have to destroy it, but it can't be helped, in the end it is not with us and it is not one of us, so it has to die for the sake of our blue and pure world."
In truth Almark did not say that often, he only said it when he felt that the time was right to say it.
To him as he was now near to the Luna Base, it was clear that it was the right time to say it.
This was at least going to get a certain Lord and Noble off his back for results.
"It is the end for them, I can see it, we have won it, this war."
He now gave a sigh as he walked out of his personal quarters and saw Natarle.
"It is you, I do wish to ask if it is going to be long till we get back to the Luna Base."
Natarle at this point just said "It will be a while yet sir, I came to see if you were still with us or had gone to rest for the night."
In reply to this he said "Is that so are you on duty or can you spare a little bit of time."
Natarle told him straight up "I am on a short break for 1 hour or so unless we enter combat."
He gave her a nod and a rather charming smile as he said "Do you wish to know what about the data that was in that life pod Captain."
It was not in her nature to just ask for a thing that was not her concern.
But at this point it was her concern, she had to know just why she had to go and get a ZAFT life pod.
"Yes I would like to know, but as you and I both are aware, it is not my right to know."
In reply to her Almark said "Oh no, but I insist, it is your right to know as the woman in charge of this ship so it is your right to know why the crew in harms way, isn't it only fair, I have the right to share it so I can and will."
At this point Natarle gave in and said "If it is not a violation of our code and rules then I will."
To which Almark now said "Oh no, I can assure you that it is not a violation of the code of conduct at all."
He now let her into his room and said "Would you like a drink, it's not alcoholic of course."
It was no lie, but he did not tell her the full truth either.
Truth was he had more than just a drink in plan for he, he did intend to tell her all about the data that they had.
Natarle who did not know his intentions but knew it would be rude to turn him down said "Just one drink and are you sure that there is no alcoholic in it."
In reply to her Almark said "Oh I am, if I had to say, I never been able to enjoy things with it in it, it is so not to my tastes."
Natarle did not ask what was to his tastes as he asked "Orange, Apple, Pineapple or Grape, what would you like to have."
He had left out the flavour he'd be taking which was Mango.
There was a reason why he had left it out, for it was the 1 out of his 5 flavours that did not have a very strong aphrodisiac in it.
Natarle then said "I will have the Apple if that is alright with you."
He gave her a charming smile as he said "That is a very good choice you picked."
He now poured her a glass and then poured himself a different one.
As the two of them now sat down in front of a table he put Natarle's glass down in front of her as he took a sip from his own.
"Down to it, you see what we were able to recover and what I was able to decode can be the key that we need to lock down this war for good."
Natarle now took a small sip of her drink as she asked "I take it you intend to tell me what that is?"
He gave her a nod as he notice her taking a bigger sip of her drink "Oh I do, you really do like that drink."
In reply Natarle gave a blush though she had no idea why and said "Well um yes, it has a taste to it that I just feel that I need to get a bit more of."
He gave her a nod and then said "Oh it can do that to you."
It was at this point he went on to say "So as I was saying, that data we got our hands one, it will release us from this war, all the stress as well as the frustrations we have built up will be let go."
Natarle at this point was a bit dizzy as well as the fact that she felt that she had to just drink a bit more of her drink.
But she found that it was now empty.
She also saw that Almark had seen this as well as he asked "Do you want another one."
At this point all she could do in reply was nod her head and say "Yes, I want one more."
He gave a smile as she said "Oh I will give you one more, do you want the same or person something a little bit stronger?"
In reply she gave a nod and he got out one of his Apple drinks with an ever stronger aphrodisiac.
He handed it to her and said "I am sure that you will enjoy this, it has an explosive flavour."
She took a sip and then swig the whole thing and Almark gave her another glass and after she gulped that down he said to her.
At this point she was turned on, be it unknown to her how or why and at this point Almark did not look bad in her eyes, in fact he looked hot.
The aphrodisiac was working on her and she wanted him, to the point that it was taking all of her self control not to jump on him.
He could see this and he said "What we have gotten our hands on, it will end the war, it is a way to get nuclear power back."
She did not hear this, her mind was spinning and all she said was "If it, if it stays between me and you, can you, can you relieve me from some, some stress?"
It was at this point he now stood up and sat down right beside her and side quietly into her ear "If you want to, it can be our little secret, one between us, but only if you want to."
This was a way of getting consent, sure if you just got a girl or a lady aroused via drugs her consent means nothing, but it was Almark's one sick little way to get her to agree to it or rather beg for it.
At this point Natarle could not say no time him and said "Just, just do it, I want it, I want it, give it to me."
He gave a sick smile that she was unable to tell the true nature of as he now undid her uniform and said "Oh I will give it to you, I will give it to you so good, you will always want more, I do so like women in uniform, they have such nice bodies."
It was only now that he began to touch her body, in a way she had given him consent, but he had set it up and drugged her, the only word for this is rape.
With Anthony, Cagalli and Athrun
Anthony was now in front of Cagalli and Athrun, "The 2 of you, do not hide it, do not deny it, I can see it, I can see that the 2 of you wish to be in the arms of the other, I will not stop you, I will not rebuke you, all I need to know, is if you have thought about the what comes next?"
It was safe the say that the 2 of them were in a bit of shock at the blunt way he put it.
He took their silence as a way of saying that the 2 of them have no clue as to what is to come next.
So he now said "You are young, but I can see it in your eyes, the two of you, you do love the other truly and I wish the best for you, that is why I am saying that the two of you need to have a plan to, it is for your future that you need to unless this is a one night thing."
At this point all he heard from Cagalli was "Fuck you, don't pry into my life like this, what right do you have to ask us this, what right do you have to ask if we have a plan."
That was a bad move, as it was Anthony was trying to help them, but to spit in his face when he tries to do that.
Well it is safe to say, it is not a wise move to make, it does take a lot or more like it takes a few things that are very specific to piss Anthony off and Cagalli had just hit one of them now.
In reply to her Anthony chose to let loose and said "Calm the fuck down, I did not wish to know when the fuck you are going to fuck or when you are going to have kids shit head, I do not need to know that, what I do need to know fuck face is if you are able to plan for what you are going to do."
"As in what the fuck you are going to do as the fucking leader of a nation with the only son of a mass genocidal mad man as your lover."
"For fucks sake don't fucking jump at things that aren't even there, you are a fucking kid that is why I am trying to help you our so fucking hell shut the fuck up and listen to what I say."
It was safe to say, no one had ever heard Anthony swear so much, it was clear that from his tone that he was pissed off, but his manner as well as his body language did not say this at all.
Athrun chose to say "I'm sorry, I guess we both had no idea what you meant by that."
In reply to that Anthony said "If you lot don't fucking know what the fuck I just said to you for fucks sake as me for crying out loud."
He was still pissed at the 2 of them but now he said "So, the 2 of you need to come up with a plan, it is for your future sake that I say so, I know the path that I walk, I just want to make sure you know if you planned to walk with one another and if you did, how you plan to do so"
Cagalli felt like a bit of an ass and said "Sorry, I am sorry that I said that, I did not mean to, well piss you off, I guess, I guess I just acted rashly, I'm sorry."
In reply to that Anthony said "I guess the 2 of you really are in love then?"
Cagalli gave a very deep blush as she said "H, hey don't just go and say things like that, it is, it is not, it is not a thing you can just rock up and ask a person."
In reply to that Anthony said "It isn't is it, but that is not the point, the point is that if the 2 of you wish to walk the same path, you will need to find a way to do so, to do that you will need to plan and work with one another so that you can walk the same path."
At this point Athrun just asked "How are you, how are you able to tell, that we, well, how can you tell that the 2 of us are in love."
Cagalli gasped at Athrun as he said this and then tried to say "You baka, I am not in, in, in love, I just, I just think I like you, it is not like it is true love or anything like that, baka!"
Anthony gave a sigh at this and said "Well that is one way I know, you can get her to go all, I think the term here is tsun on you like that."
Athrun gave a nod and said "She does have a charm when she is like that."
He said teasing Cagalli, who at this point was glad that he thought she was cute, but was a bit angry that he thought she was cute like this.
"It is, it is not like I am that cute, I mean I know I am a girl and all, but you can't just say that I am cute like this!"
Anthony's face looked as if the truth just dawned on him and he said "Ah, I recall now, you are the girl and he is the boy, I forgot that you were the girl Cagalli my bad."
Athrun did his best not to laugh, but he did catch on to the fact that Anthony just said that he might have been the girl.
At this Cagalli leapt across the table, only to be put flat on her ass.
"I think you need to have a memory check up, I did bring a book to a gun fight and win, so me thinks you need to check if you really are a girl."
Athrun at this point asked "Can you not try to piss her off?"
Anthony gave him a smile that sent chills down his spine "I will not, after all she is fun to tease, in a way so are you, but she lacks the control you have."
Cagalli now got up and said "Hey it is not nice to just go and tease me or any one else like that."
It was at this point Anthony's face lost all emotion as he said "It is a way to vent my own stress, if I did not, you and I would have come to blows just then, it is not done out of spite."
Anthony now gave a sigh as he said "Find a way to plan out where you wish to be in 5 years time, I want you to show it to me, both of you."
With that he left the two of them alone, he sighed as he left them saying "Why is it that I am stuck to deal with the teen issues on this ship, why are teens full fledged soldiers?"
With Erica
Erica Simmons was now walking down the corridor to the Kusanagi mess hall, it was at this point she saw Anthony giving a sigh and mumbling as he came out of a room.
It was at this point she chose to ask "Hey, I am heading off for a bite to eat care to join me?"
With a shrug all he said was "Sure why not."
His tone, it did not tell Erica a thing about his mood or what he had just been doing.
That or he just had no fuel in the tank left.
In a way, that may be right, but Erica had to think "Is he like this due to being shot, or is this due to what he just did, I guess it is not really for me to know."
As the 2 of them now got to the mess hall she said "I did hear that you got shot while in Mendel, are you sure that you will be okay?"
In reply to that, he said "Oh I will be just fine, well to an extent."
Erica now asked "Do you not value your own life or is this just a way to mess with me and the rest of us."
Anthony gave a shrug "Take your pick of what you wish to believe in, it is not up to me to think for you."
Erica now said "I guess if you were not like this, I'd think you were not really you eh?"
As the 2 of them now picked up a tray of food and sat down Anthony said "I am who I am, that is who I am."
"Try to cut with the cool and lack of emotions act hot shot, I think I like the sarcastic you a lot more."
As if to make a joke out of that, Anthony said to her "So you find me hot now do you, well if you think so, I am not to tell you that you are wrong."
Erica gave a sigh as the 2 of them now began to eat "I take it back, go back to you, you were just a few seconds ago, I like that one more."
In reply to her, Anthony said "Oh, I see, so you do find me hot, but you find the other me hot, don't ask me if that makes sense."
Erica gave a sigh "It will be a hard road from here on out won't it?"
Anthony gave a nod "It will be, I will not lie about that, it is going to be very hard on all of you, here."
Erica at this point asked him "Wait, hold up, on us, are you not part of us now, I mean you are, aren't you?"
Anthony gave a smile and said "That is nice, but alas, it is not so, I will say that I am with you on this, but due to reasons, that only I can know, I can never really be one of you."
In reply to that Erica said "Okay, cryptic, but I guess it has to do with your past and what you did in it and all, am I right?"
He did not give her a nod, but Erica was able to tell that this was the case.
"I guess it is your little secret, eh?"
"I take it that you either wished to speak to me, or just wanted to be nice, by inviting me here."
In reply Erica said "It is the latter, I just thought you may need to talk, you do look like you have a lot on your mind."
He now gave a sigh as he said "Sad thing is, I can't confide in anyone, I have my MS, but it is not a person and I already know what it will say to me."
Erica gave a slow nod, the man in front of her clearly talked to his MS or at least talked at it.
"You don't trust any of us do you?"
She shot this one out of the blue at him, but did not expect him to have an answer ready for her.
"No that is not it, it is that I am not allowed to talk about it at all, I am now allowed to speak to any one about what I need to get off my chest, kinda of sad isn't it."
To Erica, it said that he must be some type of Spec Ops or at least an elite assassin of a kind.
From all that she had heard about his fight with the masked man by the name of Rau.
It was likely that he had things in his head that he needed to get out, but was not allowed to.
"I guess it is all part of the choices I made, all of us have a choice to make."
He now gave a sigh as he finished his food "It is the intent as well as the nature of the choice and the action that follows it that will decided if you were right or wrong."
Erica now said "If I had to say it, no I will say it, you sound like an old man at times you know, like a lot older than you look."
In reply to her, he said "If you take the fact that I may look 12 then I am around 15 years older than what I look, so I get that a lot."
Erica gave a nod as she widened her eyes and said "Yeah I forgot that part, man if I may ask, is there any kind of gene manipulation where you come from."
In reply to her, all she got was "It is not like that, it is not for us to decide, that is for the Crystal that we follow, it is safe to say that it id not happen in Rubrum or I did not know of it."
After he said this, Anthony chose to say "The latter I am sure is false for if it did go on, I knew of it and where, when and how it was being done."
He had just given her a hint as to why he can't talk to her on the subjects that he needed to get off his chest.
It also made sense as to why he was able to gather data on all of the events as well as the enemy with ease.
"So, if I may ask, you were some sort of spy, is that why you can't talk about what is on your chest?"
He gave a smile as he shook his head "It is not like that, no I am not a spy, no you do not have to worry for most of Rubrum, is dead, if you want to know what I was before I was a cadet, you will have to look higher up the chain."
Erica gave a slight gulp as he said this, if it was all true, it is safe to say that Anthony Hitoro is a very, very dangerous man, if that is even his real name or if it is not it.
Kusanagi Bridge
The lead members of this alliance now were on each of the 3 ships bridges as all of them were taking part in a meeting, about what they should do next.
It was now that Lacus spoke "I wish to ask all of us here, what is it we wish to accomplish, what is it we are fighting for."
Anthony was the first to reply when he said "It is less what we wish to accomplish and more like what we want the future to see."
Lacus over the screen gave a nod and said "I agree, do you have any other words to add to what you said?"
Anthony in turn gave her a nod and said "I do, I want every single one of you to follow the path you truly wish to follow, you were born a warrior in this troubled world."
Anthony now went on to say "The one thing that we have to keep in our mind is that once many of those we are about to fight had been our allies, we can't for that reason enter this battle with a trace of indecision in our minds."
Andrew Waltfeld on board the Eternal now said "Aye, I can agree to that, he speaks the truth, we can't have any second thoughts if we are going to go through with this."
His lover Ashia agreed with him by saying "The 2 of them are right, we have to fight this battle of our own free will, all of us."
Mu now said "I feel the same way, we can't hesitate, we have to commit to this as a whole or not at all."
His lover Murrue now said "I am with all of you on this one, I am ready to fight, I am ready to stop the mad men who are in control of the world."
Kisaka now said "I will follow the Princess, what is your say on this."
In reply all of them got "I will, I will fight here, for my father and his memory and the light of hope that he gave us, I will fight, I will not run away, not ever."
Athrun saw her say this and said "I'm in too, I want to stop my father, it has got to the point where this is just madness and the only thing on his mind is genocide."
After he said this Yzak said "I am in too, I want to make them pay for what they did not Nicol and I will not let any lay a hand on the PLANTS."
Dearka gave a nod "For Nicol, I will fight, I can't just let the 2 fools go and die now can I?"
Yzak at this point snapped "Hey who are you calling a fool, if any of us is a fool here it is you Dearka!"
At this point Anthony said "Do us all a solid and shut it till the rest of us are done, then go at it all you want."
Yzak gave a huff, but he seemed to comply with what Anthony had asked of him.
Kira now saw that he was up so he said "I don't want to fight, but if I don't fight those who I care for will get hurt or worse die, I know that if I fight, I can stop that, so I will fight."
In his head Anthony said "Great, so I just heard most of his quotes in Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2, 3 and Reborn."
It was now his own turn to speak so he said "I am in this, it is not my fight, but I won't be able to close my eyes if I chose to run away now."
Kira then said "I guess I know what it is you're saying."
Erica at this point now said "Well I guess I can't just leave all of you, what would you do if I was not here to help fix up your MS."
Anthony now said "Would you like a list?"
In turn she said "Oh I get it, I see now you must be one of those Tsundere types?"
She did not get the reply she wished to hear "If it will let you sleep at night Ms."
She gave a sigh as she said "It is hard to get 1 up on you, you know, no one likes it if you are always right."
He did not reply as he now looked to Lacus who had to speak, she saw that she was now up and said.
"Well I guess, I want to fight because I can see that if we do not, this cycle of hate will just keep on growing to the point where it will destroy us all, I do not wish for that to happen, I want to stop it."
With a nod she now said "I guess that is all of us, but we have to check with the crew, we can't just go over their heads with this one."
That was the real Lacus Clyne for you, the sweet and kind girl who is the heart of outer space or is that Heero Yuy who is the heart of outer space.
Anthony now said "It will start soon, it is only a matter of time till the last battle begins and I am sure that we will all known when it is about to begin."
Lacus at this point asked "Do you know the nature of this last battle, Anthony?"
She said his name to let him know that she wanted to know this on a more personal level later, she also knew that he would pick up on that hint.
"All I can say is, that it is not going to be like what we know, the rules of combat that we know so far, they will cease to be and the war will not be about who can win, it will be who can kill the other or as I see it, who can destroy the home of the other."
Kira at this point asked "Wait, hold up, does that mean both the Earth Alliance and ZAFT will go after the PLANTS and Earth?"
With a nod Anthony said "That is how I see it, but the main problem with it is the fact that they wish to kill all of those who are not in combat, it can and it will work to an extent."
Athrun now said "But the issue is that the enemy can do that to them while they do it as well."
Anthony gave him a nod "That is the truth, no offence but Patrick Zala is a mad man, if I had to tell this to those back home, they'd laugh at him for what he claims to be."
Athrun at this point asked "Can I ask why is that?"
Anthony gave a shrug "Those of the Black Tortoise are born far large than us and have skin that can block bullets to an extent, yet to me and the rest of my home they are still as human as the rest of us."
Mu at this point said "Man, you guys must be very tolerant to call them human."
Anthony gave a shrug as he said "That is a 2 way street La Flaga and think about it, it is not that back home is tolerant, it is just that all of the people in charge here are a bunch of mad racist fools, sorry to say it like so, but I had to say that."
It was now clear what Anthony thought of both the EA and of ZAFT.
It was also clear that not a soul was able to tell him that he was wrong in this regard.
"By some means the EA will regain the ability to use nukes, it is, in my mind the only thing they have going for them at this point, mad man Zala has his big ass cannon to counter it and destroy Earth."
As if to question how he knew this Athrun asked "And how do you know all of this?"
If it was not clear to any who heard this, Athrun was just a little bit angry at this point.
In reply to this he got "It is due to the small fact that Zealous fools are easy to manipulate, just as the masked man you once put your life in the hands of, do you think that the events set this all in motion could have been avoided?"
It was now that Anthony gave a smirk as he said "Think back to Heliopolis, all you lot had to do was wait, there was only one exit they could get out from left."
Athrun at this point grabbed Anthony but his shirt and said "Are you saying what I think you're saying are you saying that he has manipulated the war till this stage are you saying this!"
Cagalli tried to calm him down by saying "Athrun let him go, please it will not go well if you try to hurt him, please just let him go."
Athrun did not let him go, but calmly Anthony just said to him "It is, I am telling you that, Mu can attest to the fact that he was in JOSHA, that he knew what would go down there."
Mu at this point said "You are right, he was there, I will not ask how you know, but that guy was there and he was the one who showed me the plan of the EA's top brass."
Athrun now let go of Anthony as he said "It just can't, it just can't be true, if it is true, then he may have given the Earth Alliance the N Jammer Canceller!"
"Or if he was unable to do that due to what I did to his body, then he would have got them a way to make it or use it."
Athrun now said "My god, it is true, all that he did, it has escalated this war."
Anthony now said "It also got Kira into this war and no doubt he wished to bring ORB into it as well, ZAFT destroy ORB colony in space."
It was at this point he quietly said "It also is known that a masked ace pilot is not a man you lot can trust."
Yzak at this point said "So hold up, does this mean that he knew Nicol was going to get killed, did he know that!"
Anthony gave a shrug "That I do not know, I do know that if he asked you to get to the front lines as JOSHA, it was to get you killed."
Yzak gave a grimace as he recalled that and said "So wait hold up, if he is the one who set all of this in motion, then shouldn't we just take him out."
At this point Anthony just said "He was the one who gave Zala and Blue Cosmos the push to send them off the edge, they are already falling, he must die, but it will not stop what he has set in motion, no doubt he has made sure of that."
Mu at this point asked "Can I ask you about what he said to Kira and I in Mendel, was all of that true."
In reply to that Anthony said "It is to an extent, he would have gone on to tell you more, but I think I got to him before he could do that."
It was at this point that Yzak just had to ask "This is off topic, but how the hell did you fight him with a book when he had a gun, you got shot and you made him run away, how did you do that?"
At this Anthony had to lie so he said "How did I beat him, I'll just say Cinque and Nine along with myself use to sport a mace, a spear and a book to a gun fight, at the end of the operation, we'd have 0 casualties while they enemy were close to all."
Yzak gave a sigh and said "Yeah, I think I see now why those Black Tortise guys you spoke of are normal."
As if to get them back on topic Lacus said "That is good to know, but what we all need to do now is put our heads into this and find out a way to try to deal with the worst thing that can go on, can we all do this now please?"
Yeah Anthony is getting more and more into the Char clone aspect of Rau, fun fact all that he is saying makes sense to all of them now. No I am not pairing him with Erica Simmons, they have more of a, I am your age sibling thing going on. I made a few more references to Final Fantasy Type 0 HD again about the black Tortoise, if you see the guys from Lorica, then you'd know they are pushing the levels of what you can call human. Also he did point out the fact that the EA and ZAFT were a the same in the sense that they were a bunch of racist loons. Also the scenes with Natarle I would have written more, but I got a sick feeling when I did, so I had to stop sorry, but Almark did do a lot more to her, I just can't write that sorry, it goes against my moral code and upbringing. It was just to establish that Almark is a down right bastard so I can kill him and so you won't mind. Also I added in the fact that Anthony is trying to help Cagalli and Athrun stay as a couple in Destiny. He has seen the future so he knows what he is in for that is why he is trying to tell them as much as he can right now. The start bit his him telling the of the events of the VN Tomoyo After, with him in it, for all you forgot Anthony is part of the CLANNAD verse. (Fits with his back story if you know the show and the VN)
Should I kill Natarle speak now if you want to save her.
Please Review and let me know what you think later and until then WE ARE GUNDAMS!
Also for those of you who have read this far down, I'd like to ask you to choose between two ways to end this story. These are really rough ones and not final but like a summery of it
Option One: Anthony now saw the Genesis cannon had fired and it was aimed at Earth, he now sped at full speed ahead of the blast activated every system he has on him, charges the Twin Buster Rifle and says to Lacus "Eternal we've got a situation." Lacus replies "Anthony what are you trying to do." "I am saving earth what does it look like." Lacus replies Anthony you haven't got the fire power to do that." Anthony gives her a smile as he says "I've got the mass, you're one your own Eternal, Anthony out!" He fires his Buster Rifle Beam cannon as well as all other guns he has on him and pushes all of his senses and Newtype powers into blast, he had to save Earth. Yelling out loud "YOU'RE JUST A STUPID BLAST, THE AGITO ZERO WILL TAKE YOU DOWN!" Vermilion light burst forth and hits the blast of the Genesis cannon and then it turns green. Anthony can feel his body burns up as he now say "I am ready for this, I will not fail, I will succeed here!" The green light now splits the blast of the Genesis Cannon in two so it spirals away from Earth.
Option Two: In side the command center after his father just died, Athrun now turns to Cagalli "Cagalli, I'm going to detonate the Justice, this will cause a nuclear explosion and destroy this accursed weapon. Anthony at this point walks over to him and puts his hand on his shoulder and says "Kid, I got a feeling that this girl will need all the help she can get when this is over, I and MS Agito Zero can do this." Athrun was in shock when he heard but then said "It has been an honour sir." Anthony gave him a nod and the 3 of them now ran back to the MS. As they did this Cagalli now said "You know that even with your suit, there is no way that you will survive that, if you do try to destroy this place you will have to do it from inside here." Anthony gave her a nod and now as he got into his suit said "I know that, that is why it is better for me to do this rather than for a person 10 years or more younger than me to do this." As she now got into her MS, she said to him "What aren't you afraid that you're going to die?" In reply to her he just said "No I am not, Athrun get her out of here, this is my job now."
