Opening: Avenge World
The music starts to play with the opening Lyrics
"Avenge World!" The MS Agito Zero is show in full NTD mode and Trans-Am in front of the earth beating it's wings as it spirals up into a vermilion light in the sky.
As the music continues to play with no lyrics Lacus Clyne is now seen standing up in shock upon the Eternal's bridge as she looks and the screen in front of her she can only see vermilion light.
The Logo Gundam Aigot SEED appears within the vermilion light and then vanishes form view.
"Dareka wo mamoru koto de" Yzak is shown getting into the MS Duel then turning to look at over his back.

"Nozomanu chikara" A flash back occurs to when the MS Agito Zero defeat first appeared and engage the ZAFT pilots.
"Negai no hoshi wa." Anthony is now seen standing with his back to the MS Agito Zero, his eyes and close and a single tear is rolling down his eye.
"Sude ni otosarete" As he opens his eyes the eyes of the MS Agito Zero, light up in a vermilion colour behind him.
There is a quick flash to a two hands one is lying on a bed, the other is holding it from off the bed in the early morning light.
"Kono kanashii sadame" Anthony now turns around and sees that Earth and the PLANTS are on fire as he looks into the MS Agito Zero's eyes.

"kotae wa mienu yoake." The MS Agito Zero is now seen spinning off towards Earth leaving a bright trail of GN particles and vermilion light in it's wake.
Chapter Thirty Five
"You are who you are. You have to do what you can." Tomoya Okazaki (CLANNAD)
The MS Agito Zero, the MS Duel and the MS Buster now sped to the Earth Forces.
As they did this the MS Strike Daggers began to fire on them along with a few of the regular EA ships.
The MS Duel, shot down any missiles directed at it and strafed away from any energy based shots.
The MS Buster, it too shot down any of the missiles that came its way.
But it was a tad slower than the Duel and was unable to avoid every shot that was aimed at it.
The cockpit began to shudder as the shock of the blows impacted the PSA of the MS Buster.
The pilot Dearka gave a grunt as he now turned and combined the High Energy Rifle and the Gun Launcher to make the Hyper Impulse Long Range Sniper Rifle.
The term sniper rifle being a bit vague due to the fact that it was more akin to a beam cannon and was used in the same style as a cannon.
Firing it he took out at least 2 MS Strike Daggers and a ship.
The MS Agito Zero just danced around this missiles in an elegant manner that left those who saw it stuck in a trance.
It was not in NTD or it Trans-am, but it was still a lethal MS to face.
It fired it's head vulcans as it danced past the missiles with grace and then simply batted aside any of the beam attacks that came its way.
The MS was one hell of an MS, but the pilot was also one hell of a pilot to boot.
"Damn there is just too many of them, there is no way we can get to the nukes and take out those 3 with all of these guys around."
Dearka said this as he now shot down a MS Strike Dagger, it was true there was a shit load of them here, no doubt they wish to protect the nukes.
Yzak at this point yelled "I'll get them, I'll get all of them!"
As he yelled this he used the High Energy Beam Rifle, a real use of the term rifle, to shoot down a MS Strike Dagger.
He did want to protect his home from these guys who clearly wished to blow it up.
His MS was able to avoid any return fire so he did not need to worry about shooting down all of his enemies at once.
The MS Agito Zero now danced around with 2 beam sabres alight from both how its forearms, in a dance of both grace and of lethal intent, it the two beam sabres began to twirl and whip around so fast it looked as if they were not beam sabres at all.
The MS Agito Zero was a lot faster than the other MS so it was able to do a whole lot more in the same amount of time.
The pilot of the MS Agito Zero now contacted his 2 allies "If you need a path, then I'll pave 1 for you!"
A red light now shone forth from the MS Agito Zero as it burst into action.
What Yzak and Dearka saw next was a sight to behold, it was a champion Gunpla pilot in a real battle.
In a zig zag the crimson blur sped through the closest EA MS and ships.
As it did past each and every one of them, it made sure to cut down any weapons, limbs or way to fight that the MS or ship had.
The arms, legs heads, guns, cannons, beam sabres and a lot more that it did sever all looked as if part of them had melted.
To be precise, it looked as if more than what had been cut had melted after the red blur of light past them by.
In a flash the large EA force that they had to face was now not as large as it had been before.
It was not in any shape or form small, but it was just not as big as it had been before.
Like a small slice of cake had been cut as well as taken away from the main plate.
It was after this display of strength that the MS Agito Zero had just done that Anthony Hitoro the pilot of said MS said over an open channel "I think I can hear what the EA want to say to all of us."
Yzak raised his eyebrow while Dearka gave a sigh, he had been briefed unlike Yzak on the antics of the Agito Cadet.
"Dear Spacenoids, we EA regret being racist bastards, we regret using nukes and we most definitely regret that the Buster, the Duel and the Agito Zero are about to kick the ass of our genocidal fleet, HO RAH!"
Both Yzak and Dearka found that they too at the end of his little speech also said "HO RAH!"
Just as Anthony said it, there was a thing in what he had just said that made them both smile, that may be due to the fact that what he said was true.
Well the last part was, they were going to kick the ass of this fleet from hell. Yzak now gave a smile as moved the MS Duel into motion to catch up with Anthony.
As he did this he fired a few more shots off from his High Energy Rifle as he said "Damn straight you got it, we are going to kick their asses!"
Dearka moved as well though not as fast and he had split up the Hyper Impulse Long Range Sniper Rifle.
As he fired both of the MS Buster's High Energy Rifle and the Gun Launcher at any of the MS Strike Daggers that had now moved to replace those who had been taken down.
He now gave a laugh as he said "I guess it is safe to say that they do not like him, but he sure as hell does not like them and neither do I, HO RAH!"
He had no idea why he just said that last part, but it felt like it was a good thing to say and it was said by him and by Yzak along with Anthony they shot down an enemy MS, MA or ship.
It was a way to taunt the drug trio into coming to fight them rather than do what they had been told to do, it was working well.
Eternal
Waltfeld gave a sigh as he said "You'd swear that all 3 of them were born and raised in the same street or so the saying goes."
Aisha gave a smile as she said "Our you jealous that you're not out their shouting this HO RAH at the top of your lungs with them, Andy?"
He did not lie for he did not reply to that and only gave a grunt in response, but it told Aisha that he too wished to be out there and that he too did wish to be in an MS taking the fight to the enemy and not be here in this ship.
Lacus now said "The 3 of them do get along well despite the fact that they have only known each other for a brief amount of time, I guess it can be seen as a super power on Anthony's part, no one would guess that before this the 2 out of the 3 were trying to kill the 1st."
Waltfeld now said "I get it, I do also recall that Anthony was a right royal ass when I met him the 1st time and mocked ZAFT HC for their invasion choices."
Lacus gave him a nod and this time said "It is safe for us to say that we are thought that he was a bit odd when we met him and truth is that he is a bit odd, only he is a good odd."
Aisha gave a small laugh as she now said "I will say that I do like what he said in his speech."
Lacus now stood up and said "Bring up all our forces on a line for me I do have one last thing to say."
Waltfeld gave her a nod as did the crew and it was done, he then said "You're on Miss, make it count."
Lacus gave him a nod as she now said "I want all of you to fight with the world you truly desire in your heart, go out their and kick some ass for it, HO RAH."
Her HO RAH was not as loud as Anthony's, but it did get the point across, it was to say that she was with them in this and she was one of them.
Not just a girl who was on the side lines, she was here and she was present for this battle."
The voice of Mu La Flaga who was in charge of the defence of the 3 ships now said "We all got you Miss, you hear that girls, Miss Clyne is with us, let's give her our own HO RAH!"
All 3 pilots of the M1 Astrays now made their MS raise their weapons as they said "HO RAH" with Mu all in sync.
Mu now said to Lacus "Don't worry we got you covered and you have 3 of the best pilots I know in the whole of the Earth Sphere on your side."
It was Kira's group that did not reply for they were now in the thick of combat and were going up against the elite of ZAFT.
But no doubt they heard Lacus and all of them knew what it meant.
Lacus now said "We cannot let this war end in the genocide of one side, we will stop it."
With the Freedom
The MS Freedom, MS Justice, MS Delta Gundam along with the MS GuAIZ were now in a battle with ZAFT.
It was hard to try to aim for GENESIS with all of these MS in the way.
The MS Justice and the MS Freedom did not have the METEOR with them.
It made things ever so harder on them, that and Delilah was in a MS GuAIZ and Cagalli was not a real hot shot ace pilot.
In layman terms it meant that the MS Freedom with its pilot Kira along with the MS Justice and its pilot Athrun.
Had to watch out for those 2 and make sure they were not shot down.
Kira took a deep breath in as he now saw his radar and all the targets that came up on it, safe to say there were many of them, but he was a man on a mission, a mission he could not fail.
It was when all of the targets were all lined up on the Multi Lock on System, that Kira made the MS Freedom to fire.
To those who saw it, in on fluid motion it was the MS Freedom's Full Burst.
Firing the Beam Rifle, the rail cannons and the plasma beam cannons all at once.
The wings of the MS Freedom were spread wide open as he did this and a multitude of ZAFT MS were all hit at the same time or close to the same time.
He had chosen to do as Lacus had asked and not aim for the cockpits, but Delilah and Cagalli did not have that same luxury as him.
The MS Delta Gundam was now dodging like there was no end to enemy fire, Cagalli had seen the data of how Anthony had piloted the MS.
She knew that if she was able to at least get into a rhythm like he did, she would be able to carry her own weight in this battle.
Her MS was no where near as fancy nor as well armed as the MS Freedom or MS Justice, but she was going to do her part as well.
"You monster, how do you like a taste of this!"
As she said this she caught a MS GuAIZ off guard and using her beam rifleshot it and the pilot inside down.
Strafing to the side as she now avoided fire from a MS GuAIZ now came at her with its Compsite Shield Claws.
As it past her by, she shot it down and said "I won't let you do it, we won't let you fire that thing for a 2nd time!"
Delilah echoed this as she said "The ghost of Siegel Clyne calls out for justice, you will pay for all those you killed to get this power Patrick Zala!"
She moved her MS GuAIZ to fire at her own kind who also were in MS GuAIZ, she did not hesitate to fire on them, not when they were able to condone this.
She made her MS GuAIZ do a barrel roll as she fired her Beam Rifle.
Thanks to the fact that she was spinning she was able to get a few shots into the enemy MS.
It was sad to say, but she was not cut out for this fight right now.
She was in a mook MS and she was only a bit better than the average ZAFT pilot.
But fact was the bit better in 1 on 1 combat was enough to have the edge, but when she was up against more than 1 or 2 she was at a loss.
Her MS GuAIZ was now able to turn just in time to shoot down a fellow MS GuAIZ, had she been just a second later she'd have been dead.
"Damn, I am just a sitting duck out here, it is no good, but if I was not out here then I'd be wishing to be, I guess it is a case of be careful was you wish for."
She now spun the MS GuAIZ to fire again this time she shot off a few more shots taking out the cockpits of the MS GuAIZ she hit.
"I am, I am sorry Miss Clyne, I am unable to not hit their cockpits, if only I was stronger."
It was at this point she let her guard down and an enemy MS GuAIZ saw this and swept in for the kill.
Or at least it thought for now her MS GuAIZ leant to the side, she had just missed certain death.
At point blank range she now fired the beam rifle as she said "How do you like this you son of a bitch!"
The MS Delta Gundam now sped past her, it was clear to her that Cagalli was getting the hang of combat, even she was doing better than her at this point!
The MS Justice along with its pilot Athrun Zala now cut a path through the MS GuAIZ.
It used the Lacerta Beam Sabresone in each hand to cut down the MS GuAIZ that is sped past.
It took a slight delay in time for the MS GuAIZ to explode after he cut through them, but all of them did, lighting up a path to show all where he was.
After he did this he threw out the Bassel beam boomerangs to cut away at the MS GuAIZ forces in his way.
It was clear to him at this point that none of them wanted to take him head on so he now made sure to tell Kira and the 2 girls.
"Kira, they are going to target Cagalli and Delilah, make sure they are alright, I'll cut a path through!"
After he said this Athrun began to jinx in the area while he fired the Fortis Beam cannonsat the enemy MS.
The Fortis was a rapid fire weapon, Athrun was able to blow a whole into the path ahead of them.
The MS GuAIZ that got shot down by it, there were many of them and they all were under the orders of his father to kill them.
Kira and the rest now followed the path that he had made, but they all got a contact from Anthony who said "All of you pull off to the side, they are going to fire the GENESIS, get the out now!"
Kira at this point pulled up his Multi Lock On System and went Full Burst in order to cover the Delta Gundam along with Delilah in her MS GuAIZ.
Then both he and Athrun made sure to get the hell away from the area.
"What do you mean, they are going to fire GENESIS, they still have troops in the area."
Anthony in reply said "If you doubt what I say, by all means stay, I am telling you now to get the fuck out do it or do not, I am in the middle of pulling back and trying to draw the enemy to me, do not waste a moment of your time or mine!"
In reply to that Athrun now made a to withdraw back away from the line of fire but as he did this he said "You know at times you are a real ass hole you know."
In reply to that "At times I think you are a stuck up brat who has no idea how to respect his elders, so I guess you can say that the two of us are even."
In reply to that Athrun said "You always have to have the last word don't you." In reply to that all Athrun heard was silence along with the chirping of crickets.
This was broken when Yzak said over an open channel "Retreat all of you!"
It was sick, the mad man Zala was about to kill at least 40% of his own forces, if it was to kill them, to kill the MS Agito Zero or to kill the EA, it was sick to its core and it showed just how sick in the head the man was.
With Anthony
As the 3 of them now cleared out of the blast area, Yzak asked "Why aren't they doing as they said, that thing is going to fire and they will be caught in it!"
Anthony in reply said "I am not sure, they are either too far gone or they do not believe you or both."
Yzak now said damn as he loudly smashed his fist down on a part of his MS.
"Damn it, what is wrong with people, don't they know that Patrick Zala has gone mad, don't they know the head of ZAFT and of the PLANTS is now a raging mad man!"
In reply to this Anthony said "It is due to the fact that the roots of the PLANTS have been sowed with poison by the masked man born as Rau Da Flaga, it is his actions that have made them call become like this."
In reply to this Yzak had to ask "If that is so, why don't we go after him and put an end to all that he has done?"
In reply to that Anthony said "Why, will it stop both sides from fighting, not even close, we can only afford to deal with him, after the nukes are gone, Kira and the others will have to take on GENESIS."
Then it hit him "No, shit how could I over look this, damn it, he may take to the field and kill Kira and Athrun, shit, shit, we are going to have to deal with the drug trio and fast to get back to help those 2 out."
Anthony had just recalled that METEOR had not been used yet by either Kira or Athrun.
"Damn it you two, if he does, you'll have to fend him off because the two girls will be child's play for him."
Anthony now took in a deep breath as he said "They are about to fire get ready to launch after it!"
It was at this point after the 3 of them were all at a safe distance did the GENESIS cannon fire.
It was true, the mad man Zala had done it.
Not only had he done it, but he had fired it while he still had troops in the way of its line of sigh and path of fire.
Anthony could see it now, all the MS and the ships who were caught up in that blast, it was sick, none of them stood a chance.
It was made all the worse, by the fact that not a soul who was in that blast would have a grave.
Anthony could hear it, the swelling of human bodies till they burst, it made him sick.
The explosions did drown out most of it, but the sound as well as the fact that it was going on did haunt Anthony a little.
Seeing that giant gamma ray laser cut clean through both sides, he was aware that if it was to fire a 3rd time he has to stop it.
As the beam began to die down Anthony said "We need to move now to get to them in time, Yzak Dearka form up on me!"
As he said this he moved the MS Agito Zero into action, the MS Duel and the MS Buster followed suite but, Yzak had to ask "Why risk being so close to the blast."
In reply to that Anthony said "No you 2 go back, help out the ships, I got a hunch they are going to be in deep shit, I will deal with these 3, please I request that you protect the ships no matter the cost."
There was an earnest plea in his eyes when he said this and both Dearka and Yzak gave him a nod "Roger that we're on it."
With Mu
Mu now felt a slight sensation that he knew all to well, it was Rau, he was here.
"Girls get ready, we got a guest who we did not invite here!"
Asagi, Juri and Mayura all got evasive and just in time as a barrage of green beams now began to rain down on them.
Mayura now said "Holy shit, what the hell is this!"
They got the laugh of a mad man in reply who said "This, this is justice, this is the fate that awaits all of you at the end of this battle, this little girl is death!"
The M1 Astrays were not the best of the best and neither were the girls who piloted them.
But they were no mooks either and they were able to avoid the shots were sent after the 3 of them.
Mu La Flaga now returned fire at his rival as he said "You, this place will be your grave, you will not cause any more pain to any one ever again!"
The MS Strike fired it's High Energy Beam Rifle, the black MS of Rau le Creuset was able to dodge it with ease, but to do it was made slightly hared by the fact that all 3 of the M1 Astrays fired their regular beam rifles at him as well, but only slightly.
And that little bit was not enough to push the masked man.
"Oh please do tell me how you intend to do that Mu, in that piece of crap you do not stand a chance against me!"
As he said this the black MS launched a remote weapon to fire at the Strike.
Mu used the Shield of the MS Strike to block the shots he was unable to avoid.
Mu felt the shock as each hit did hurt and if the shield took 1 to many, he'd be a goner.
Rau did not let up in his assualt of Mu, he did not care for the other MS here, all he cared about was this here and now, he was going to kill Mu La Flaga.
Mu for his part did avoid and shield himself from most of the shots fired at him, while he got off a few of his own in this time.
But fact was that Rau had 9 guns if not more while he had 1.
"Oh this is too good, what a place to you right here and the apex of it all, the struggle that will kill all of humanity, you hear that Mu, I will kill you here and now, you will just have to imagine what will happen to the world or you will watch it go down from an after life if you are that sort of person, me I believe in nothing!"
The black MS was able to easily avoid any and all shots Mu fired at it with the MS Strike.
But Mu at this point was not doing so well as he was now in a tight spot and was being pushed back.
It was only a matter of time till Rau turned his guns on the 3 ship and then it was bye bye Murrue, Lacus and Kisaka.
Mu for one was not going to let that go down, if he had to do what a man had to do, then he would do it.
The MS Strike's High Energy Beam Rifle now got shot out of the hands of the MS Strike.
Making his suit draw its Beam Sabre Mu made a mad charge at Rau and his MS.
Rau gave a smile as he now said "Oh you poor fool, as if that was going to work-!"
As he said this in his total arrogance he got hit by a repeated volley of shots.
The M1 Astray pilots had split up to make them less easy to take down all at once.
But the 3 of them were all able to work as a team to fire upon Rau's MS.
Juri now said "We got your back Mu, take this ass hole down!"
Asagi now called out to him as well "Give him hell sir!"
Mayura now said "If we fight as one, we can beat this guy, keep it up girls!"
Rau now gave a grunt as he now turned the DRAGOONS of the black MS to fire on the M1 Astrays.
"So the kids think they are good huh, I will show you, just how hopeless your situation is!"
As he said this he fired all 8 of his DRAGOONS at the 3 M1 Astrays.
Or at least he thought he did as a beam shot down 2 of them.
Rau now spun around to see that the MS Buster had used it's Hyper Impulse Long Range Sniper Rifle on him.
At this point the black MS was able to spin around just in time to avoid being hit by the MS Strike.
"Ganging up on me, eh Mu, not your style is it?"
Rau now had his DRAGOONS take action as they now spun and fired at the MS Duel's missile barrage that was sent his way.
Over the open line he said "Oh so the 2 of you are here as well, I did not expect to see the 2 of you all so soon."
In reply to that all he got from Yzak was "You bastard, just die!"
The MS Duel now fired its own High Energy Rifle at the black MS.
Rau was able to dodge it but he now also had to avoid the fire of the 3 M1 Astrays and the MS Buster along with Mu La Flaga in his MS Strike.
It was at this point that he was able to recall the 7 out of his 9 DRAGOONS.
With a grunt he broke off away from them at speeds they could not hope to match and as he did this he said to them "Another time Mu, another time!"
Both Mu and Yzak did wish to give chase, but it was the voice of Lacus Clyne who calmed the fire in their hearts.
"I ask that you do not go after that man, we will need all of your strength for this final push."
Mu was more than happy to go with this, but Yzak gave a grunt as he now said "I'll go back to help out Anthony in case he needs any help."
With that said and done, the MS Duel left the other 5 MS as it made its way back to the MS Agito Zero.
Mu now chose to say "Well I am glad that we all made it out of that, thanks for the back up."
In reply to that the former foe of his Dearka said "No problem, Anthony told us to come and help you guys out, so it's his idea."
They all heard Lacus say "We are going to make a push to get to GENESISbefore it has time to reload, I ask that all of you be on alert as we are about to enter a high combat zone.
Juri, Asagi and Mayura all gave a nod as each of them said "You got it Ms Clyne."
Mu gave a nod as he said "We will do all that we can."
Dearka in reply to that "I'll do what is necessary ma'am."
Dearka now saw that the M1 Astrays were not so hot as in the MS were a bit beat up, so he said "Listen up ladies, stay behind me, we don't want you guys to get shot in a state like that."
They had not been hit badly by the DRAGOONS of Rau, but they had been grazed as well as had their shields battered.
"You do not have PSA so do not try to do any heroics out there, just stay back and take down any who you can."
None of them wanted to hear this, but they were all able to grasp that he had their best interests at heart.
So even though it was reluctant, it was there all the same as Asagi said "I got it, Juri, Mayura do you get what he says?"
Juri gave a slow nod as she now said "I get it, I will do as he asked."
Mayura gave a reluctant nod as she said "I too get it, I will stay back, but I will give any support that I can."
In reply to that Mu said "I sure hope you do, I have to thank you for bailing my ass out a few minutes ago girls."
With Anthony (Play Megaman Zero Judgement Day)
The MS Agito Zero went into what Anthony had now chosen to call 'Awaken State'.
It was the use of the NTD mode as well as Trans-am, the Bio Sensors and the Zero System.
Anthony did not have a SEED mode like Kira, Athrun or Cagalli.
But in this 'Awaken State', he did not need it, for he had full access to the Zero System, it did not hold back on him and he was fully immersed in it and in the battle at hand.
The enemy he could see them, he could see his targets the 3 MS, the pilots he had to kill.
He could have used the twin buster rifle, he had on him, he could have taken all 3 of them out with that.
No, if he did that he may his to many and he did not wish to kill more than he had to.
This time he did not wish to have those extra lives killed by him, it is all due to the fact that he was human and that he made a mistake that he killed all of those men.
It can be said that all of those men were the enemy and Waltfeld had said that it got easier each time one had to kill.
But for Anthony, for a Newtype like him, it was not going to get easier ever, it was only going to make him mad.
So now as he reach the 3 boosted men he said "A voice like thunder shall sound and tho shalt know, we have arrived!"
It was at this point Anthony chose to use the only other weapon he had made into the MS Agito Zero from the MSZ-010 ZZ Gundam, a suit that lacked in speed but made up for in pure power and force.
The Hyper Beam Sabre, it was much longer than the regular ones as well as it having a much more potent and thicker beam than that of any other MS in the battle at this point.
The first one the trio, the one Shani, that is what the Zero System showed his name as was the closest.
He yelled "You want to take me on, try it you little punk!"
As he said this he moved away his two shoulder mounted shied in order to charge and then fire his Plasma Induction Cannon called Hresvelgr.
To his credit, he did get a shot off and a direct hit on the MS Agito Zero's chest.
A cloud of smoke popped up as Shani now yelled "Oh yeah, that is how I do it, all that is left is a pile of ashes and-!"
A voice cut him off now and said "Oh what is that, no damage, you must be the weakest out of the 3 of you, a direct hit and you didn't even ruin my paint job you must suck a lot of cock, a lot of your fellow squads mates cock!"
After the last word was said, a red blur sped past and it cut the MS Forbidden Gundam in half right down the centre from head to, crotch, of course the explosion was delayed.
Shani did not feel a damn thing for he was already dead, in fact he had been dead the moment his suit had been hit.
His body now floated in it's seat for about half a second, if any had dared to look it would have been the look of shock, awe and peace that the boosted men wore upon his face.
The anger and the pain that he had felt, it was no longer, he was no longer, for him it was over.
Then his MS burst into a purple explosion, in a way it hid what he felt in his dying moment, but it also served as a catalyst for his fellows to go mad.
Orga was only able to say "It, it got Shani, that bastard will die!
Coltho on the other hand in the MS Raider was on it and was trying shoot the MS Agito Zero down!
"Die, just die and this will be over, die, die, die, die, die!"
It was as he said this that he had his MS Raider in the MA mode firing at the MS Agito Zero.
The blast that he had fired at it were no where near enough to phase it.
If the Hresvelgr from Shani did jack shit to stop the MS Agito Zero, the Zorn Energy Cannon was not going to do a thing as well.
As he now saw the Red Demon turn to come at him Coltho began to hit his controls rapidly, he did not want to die.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, I do not want to lose, I do not want to lose!"
The MS Raider began to jinx around like crazy, but it was not even close to what was required to avoid the Red Demon, the Zero System had made sure of that much at least.
The MS Raider changed to its MS form right as the Hyper Beam Sabre of the MS Agito Zero cut the cock pit right in half!
In the brief millisecond, Coltho called out in pain, it was harsh, he had lost and it was way to much for his body to take.
But his body did not need to take it, not for long for after that moment had come and gone, he was dead and the explosion from his suit now destroyed his body, just as it had done to Shani.
It was safe to say that there were going to be no graves for these men.
In fact their own side viewed them as a bunch of tools to use.
But even if all of the world would forget them, there was man who would not, the man who had tasked himself with killing them.
He would not forget their faces for he had chosen to kill them so he knew he had to remember them.
For they sure as hell would never forget who he was.
It was now all over or at least it was close to it for the boosted men, Orga was the last one left.
His hold on sanity was gone and he was just firing like mad, he was hitting even some of his own forces.
If Anthony Hitoro the pilot of the MS Agito Zero was going to kill him, it was to be a mercy kill, the man was broken and was no longer a man at all.
The MS Calamity was firing off it's Schlag, the High Energy Long Range Beam Cannons at any thing that was able to move, to him all of them were no his enemy, all of them wanted him dead and he did not want to die.
He now saw the red blur, the Red Demon coming his way, he was not going to let it get him and take him to hell.
He fired off his Schlag and the Scylla, the Multi phase Energy Cannon, to try and stop the MS Agito Zero from closing in on him.
Unlike 2 MS that had been taken down before, the MS Agito Zero did a barrel roll out of the way of shots and then spun, shining brilliant purple light form his Hyper beam Sabre down on all close to it.
Orga fired of all his guns and cannons this time, trying to get a shot in on the Red Demon that was now coming for his soul.
No matter how much he fired, the Red Demon was just dodging his shots and get ever so close to him.
"No stay away, stay away from me, don't come to me!"
Orga yelled this as he gave off 1 last volley in a vain attempt to stop the MS Agito Zero.
It was to no avail and now he had the Red Demon was upon him.
But for a split second before the Hyper Beam Sabre came down on him, that Red Demon, looked like an Angel who had come to take him away from this place.
It was as the Hyper Beam Sabre now cut the Calamity in two did Anthony say the words "I'm sorry, that it came to this, but I had no other choice to make."
The MS Calamity now exploded and it was over for the 3 Boosted Men, if they had chosen to be a part of it, or if they were taken into it.
It did not matter now for they were dead, it only left the regular MS and the nukes to deal with and there were not many of them left.
Anthony felt a bit sick with what he had just done, he had kill 3 people, despite all of this, it never got easier.
He had also let GENESIS fire so it would give him as well as Dearka and Yzak an easier time.
But fact was he had let it fire and the souls who were lost in it, were now weighed on him.
"I guess what Amuro Ray said was true, Oldtypes can just forget their pain and move on with their lives."
It was not the same for Newtypes, Anthony had seen it in Mobile Suit Gundam and he had seen it in Mobile Suit Gundam Zeta.
He did not want that to happen to him, if he did fight and kill more and more, he may just end up in the same sense of despair that Amuro was in.
"No I will rise above it all, I got to do, what I got to do, for if I don't who will?"
It was at this point the voice of Yzak Joule said to him "If you can't do it I will, or Athrun or Dearka, we will do it or even that Kira guy and La Flaga."
Anthony gave a blink as he said "Wait I was thinking out loud, my bad, I did not mean to do that, sorry."
Yzak now said "You don't have to carry us."
Anthony in reply gave him a smile as he said "But there are some things only I can do Yzak."
(Stop Playing Megaman Zero Judgement Day)
With Kira
Cagalli now gasped at what she had seen, out of all of them, she was shocked the most at what she had seen.
The mad man Patrick Zala, had just killed off 35% of his own forces at least to try to wipe out the EA fleet.
It was a plan fit for a mad man who was no longer say.
Anthony was right, Patrick Zala was ready to kill his own in order to win.
Athrun at this point said to Kira "That thing, he is not my father, we can't let him fire it one more time, Kira."
Kira gave him a nod, but at this point felt a strange tingle in his body, it was as if he had to go and fight some one.
He made his suit the MS Freedom break of from the 3 others, as he did this Cagalli called out to him "Kira?"
Kira did not reply to her, but spoke to Athrun and said "Athrun take care of them, there is something a miss out there."
Athrun gave his best friend a nod and said "Got it, go deal with it, I'll be sure to take care of these 2."
Cagalli in reply to that said "I can take care of myself just fine thank you."
It was her Tsun Tsun side showing again.
Delilah on the other hand just said "I'll try not to be a burden on you sir."
In reply to that Athrun said "You see, that is how you are meant to speak, now our 3 ships are going to be here soon, so we will have to clear them a path, let's kick ass!"
Cagalli now said "We can do this guys, HO RAH!"
Eternal
Waltfeld sat in his captains chair and now said "We'll break through the flank, Kusanagi!"
In reply to that the ship the Kusanagi fired it's Lohengrin through a ZAFT Nazca Class ship, blowing at least 3 whole in the ship and destroying it, the fighting had come more intense.
It was at this point that he said "20 to port, target the lead Nazca Class Ship, I want all of our Beam Cannons to target the Vesalius, if we can make them avoid our fire, they will be unable to do so for the Kusanagi."
One of the bridge officers said "I have sent the plan to the Kusanagi, we are all waiting for your go."
Waltfeld now said "On my mark."
He now held up his right arm as he began to count down with each finger, first was his pinkie, next was ring, after that was his middle finger, following that was his index and last was his thumb.
It was as he made a closed fist he yelled "Mark."
To give the signal for the crew to fire all the Beam Cannons they had.
Six green beams of light shot out from the ship the Eternal aimed towards the Nazca Class Ship, the Vesalius, that was the flag ship of Rau Le Creuset.
The one who was in command of the Vesalius, he had to be skilled to get them out of that attack and he did.
But it was not enough for even before the Eternal's attack was over, the Kusanagi began and it opened with its Lohengrin, the shot that it fired was a direct hit on the centre of the Vesalius and it made a pink explosion.
Lacus now gripped her own hands as she asked "Why is it that we fight, why do we have to fight, is it for a lie, is it for peace, is it for victory, why is it that we are all drawn to fight, I think, I think I know."
Aisha had to ask Lacus "What is it, why do people fight?"
Lacus in reply said "We are here to fight for what is right, it is why all of us chose to go into battle in the first place, the thing is, that for us, what is right is not what ZAFT or the EA see it as."
She now went on to say "That is why we are caught up in this battle, the views of ZAFT and of the EA are now seeking to destroy not only the other but all those who are not like them, it is the same, all of it."
Aisha gave a nod "I can see, Zala and those in Blue Cosmos, wish the same end for the other, it is as if they can't go on if the other is still alive, that is what they have fallen to, we must make sure that we do not sink to their level."
Lacus gave a nod and then said "It is our duty to stop this, if a world is born out of hate, no good will come of it only more pain and more sadness."
Her mind now drifted back to what Anthony had said.
"It is a step, think of it this way, it is not perfect, but it is at least a step as I said."
That was what he had said to her as a way for the 2 of them to reconcile in a sense.
But she was able to take a much large meaning from it.
Lacus Clyne now stood up and let go of her hands as she said "The world we live in, it is not perfect by any means, nor should it be, it is up to us to do what we see as right and to fight for it, it will not change to world, but it is a step, a step in the right direction, a step to true peace."
The crew gave her a cheer they all said in reply to her "HO RAH!"
Lacus gave a smile as she said to no one in particular "I guess you can influence those who are not even around you by what you say, I do hope that one day I too will be able to do so as well."
She had no idea that Anthony once wanted to be able to speak and be able to reach others just like she did.
It was at this point that Waltfeld said "The Justice, the Delta Gundam and our GuAIZ are ahead, they have clean up a path for us."
It was at this point they got a message from Delilah who said "I am returning to Ship DF with the other 2 are going to take on the GENESIS DF, at this point I'd only slow them down."
Waltfeld said "Got it, get back here, all of our pilots be on alert we have a friendly on their way in so watch your fire until she is in."
With Athrun
Delilah had said she was pulling back, it was better that way, he did not have to worry about about his fire if he hit her.
To his credit, she was in the same suit as 90% of the enemy so he did have his work cut out for him while she was here.
Now that she was gone and Cagalli had got into the full swing of how to pilot her MS, he did not off to hold back and off came the gloves.
Firing of the Fortis as well as throwing out his Bassel he was able to cut a block off the ZAFT forces, it was clear very soon that the MS GuAIZ pilots did not want to take him on at all.
In fact they began to flee from him, but it was not enough, for Athrun knew he had to shoot down all who stood in his way or he'd never get to GENESIS in time.
Cagalli did her part as well, for she was able to dart between them in a much fast MS and fire at them as she did it.
Her Beam Rifle was not the to notch stuff that Kira or Athrun had, but it was effective for its use.
If she came to close to an enemy there was always that beam Saber that she had on hand just in case to cut down any ZAFT MS, be the GuAIZ or any of the older MS that were out here.
It was safe to say that they were at this point a power couple on the battle field and were able to watch the backs of one another as they fought on against the ZAFT force in there way.
The couple soon got fire support from the Eternal, the Kusangi and the Archangel.
It was good to have 3 of the best ships the world had known at their backs.
As soon as they were in contact range Athrun heard the voice of Dearka say "Aww, look at the 2 of them, they are like the battle couple of the century, it is safe to say that they take that title right?"
Asagi now said over the line "I think they do, I was going to say that Lacus and Kira held that, but Lacus is fighting in a ship while Cagalli is out in an MS."
Dearka gave her a nod and said "I get you, who'd have thought it, damn Athrun you were a good catch for her."
Athrun was able to tune out the fact that while all of them were engaged in battle against ZAFT, they were able to make jokes in the heat of battle.
Cagalli now said "Damn, that is Anthony for you, why'd he have to go and make them all like him, to make jokes in the heat of battle, the nerve."
In reply to that Athrun said "Do you think the fact that we are a couple as a joke?"
In reply to that Cagalli cut in half a GuAIZ as she said "No, no, no, that is not what I mean, that is not what I mean at all, argh just stop it and let us focus on getting rid of the mad man and the laser!"
Even Athrun had to admit just as he killed off ten pilots of MS GuAIZ that Cagalli was rather fun to tease now.
Mu now chose to say "I hate to do this to you, but you can finish your date later, we have a job to do."
It was at this point that Cagalli snapped a little, just as she dodged a MS GuAIZ and shot it down, she said.
"A, a, a date, this is the worst first date ever, you all hear me, you know it is, worst first date ever!"
It was at this point the voice of Lacus Clyne, the voice of reason spoke to Cagalli and calmed her "I think it is safe to say that all of us have a way to deal with our own fears and this is one of them."
Cagalli now said "Fine, fine I get it, I get it, by why do I have to be the outlet for all of your problems."
The voice of Andrew Waltfeld now said to her ones fast enough to get through, can you do this?"
Athrun gave him a nod as he said "We can do it, you can count on myself and on Cagalli to get this done."
Waltfeld now gave him a nod as he said "Alright kid, I will give you my signal when we are all about to fire, when we do that, you will have to rush in, I am not sure if we can provide support to you once you are in there, but we will do what we can to get you in."
In reply to that Athrun said "Got it sir, good luck to you." In reply to that Waltfeld said "Go in there and give them hell."
With Anthony and Yzak
The MS Duel and the MS Agito Zero had just finished most of the EA Fleet, in fact only the Dominion was left.
It was as Yzak was about to launch his attack on this last ship that Anthony chose to stop him.
"Listen, Yzak, at this point the 3 ships will need very MS, get back to them, I'll clean up here."
Yzak in reply had to ask "Why is it that you don't want me here, aren't you needed as well, we are all in this one as a team, don't you get it?"
At this point Anthony threw him the Hyper Beam Sabre as he said "I am aware of that, but fact is I have to do, what I have to do and only I can do it, if I were to try it to close to the rest of you, all of you 'd be too close to danger."
Yzak gave a blink as he now said "Wait hold up, what you can't mean that you will take it on, your MS is good, but it can't be that good?"
In reply to it Anthony said "It is not the MS, but the pilot inside, that is what matters most, take up my sword and do what you see as right with it, leave this area to me?"
Yzak at this point knew what it was that Anthony was saying as he now grasp the Hyper Beam Sabre in his MS Duel.
It was right as he was about to leave that the MS Duel thumped it's chest as Yzak said "It's been an honour sir!"
Anthony gave a smile while the MS Agito Zero gave the MS Duel the thumbs up as he said "Likewise."
As Yzak left Anthony turned to face the Dominion, his first step was to use his 'Awaken State' to disable all of the weapons on board the ship.
Due to his absolute exposure to the Archangel and the Dominion was of the exact same design, he knew where all the weapons were located and just how to get to him.
To fast for any ship to counter or any human pilot to counter.
The red blur raced across the outside of the Dominion as it cut down any and all weapons.
The Trans-am part, allowed him to melt part of the ship as he went by, in short he was leaving the ship at his mercy.
Anthony had seen Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, he knew that Natarle in the show was forced to fight that last bit.
He also knew that deep down she was a good soul who had a kind if not lonesome heart.
It was these facts that made him use the Zero System to hack into their ship in order to speak to her over a video call.
When he saw her face he said "So it is you, I guess I will lower my sabres for a time and talk, will you talk or do you want me to get back to where I left off?"
It was a real jerk ass thing to say, but he knew that Natarle would get the point, she had always been wary of him on board the Archangel.
The reply he got was from a man who said "Oh and what is it that you wish to ask why, don't you just go and kill us, I'll never submit to you or those who told you to do this, you alien piece of shit?"
In reply to that all he gave the man was a laugh as he said "I see, I see, so you think I am talking to you, Natarle I am talking to you not to the thing that thinks it is a man, I request that you answer me?"
Natarle was hesitant to reply but she did say "What is it you want us to do, we can't harm and you have made sure our ship has no weapons."
As if to reply to her Anthony said "In life we all have to make choices, it is just that the choices of some of us, will be the one to decide the fate of more than just that single person, I want you to make a choice, I want you to do it right here and now."
The man with her now said "What the hell is he saying, that just does not make any sense, what the hell are you waiting for, we can still ram him?"
"If you do so, it will just hurt your ship not me or my MS, it is a shame to say this, but Natarle I do not have too much time on my hands, so I wish for you to make your choice soon."
He did not wish to rush her, but fact was he had to do it at, time was running out.
It was at this point Anthony said "Natarle turn and punched that man in the face, do it now!"
As if his voice held some sort of secret command Natarle did it, not only did she hit that man in the face she smashed his head against her seat splitting it open.
He now said "Get that gun out of his jacket."
She did just that and she saw that the man did have a gun on him.
It was at this point he said "Get you and your crew out of here if you wish to live, also get that man in the brig or dead, I do not care which I am running out of time."
In reply to that Natarle asked "Time, time for what?"
In reply to her Anthony said "Just get out of here, have my own things to deal with."
Natarle was able to pick up from the ever so slight tone his voice held on what it was that he meant.
With a quick salute she said to him "Thank you for this chance."
In reply to her Anthony said "In this life we all have choices to make you have made yours now get out of here."
He cut the link and now saw that the Dominion was now turning around and he gave a sigh.
"Did I just do the right thing, I guess I will never know, but I do know that I still have a job to do, I wonder if this is how Zero felt at the end as well, if he is real, I'll talk to him when I see him, it might be better to hear the story from the Legendary Hero himself?"
With Athrun
Athrun and Cagalli were no getting in to GENESIS, but they were running out of time.
In his heart of hearts, he wished for them to lay down their weapons, but he knew that they would not do so.
So he did not waste even a second as he fired taking down any MS GuAIZ in his way.
"Damn it, the clock is against us, we are not going to make it in time!"
Cagalli yelled this as she now managed to get her MS into Waverider mode, it did give her a slight burst in speed, but even she knew that once they were in they had to go on their feet.
"It is not going to be easy, but know that I love you, Cagalli."
Athrun now said this to her as the 2 of them got into the hangar areas and began to make their way across the area.
Cagalli gave a blink as she now said "Why is it, why is it that you chose now above all times to say it, it is not like I am happy that you did, it is, it is just that I wanted to know why you chose now to say it?"
In reply to her Athrun gave a gentle smile as he now said "It is in case I do not get the chance to say it to you at all."
Cagalli now shook her head with tears running down her eyes "No don't talk like that it is not right, don't get the wrong idea either, it is not like I want you to say with me ba, baka!"
Athrun gave her a smile and said "I was just making sure that I said it and I want you to know that no matter what the future holds, I will cherish every moment I have spent with you."
She gave no Tsun reply to him and only said "And I will cherish all the time that I spent with you as well Athrun Zala?"
The two of them began to move through the hangar bays to where they thought the CC would be.
The 2 of them knew that they would have to fight once they got out of their MS.
Praise the lord for they were ready to do just that.
Athrun did come prepared and he had a spare gun just in case Cagalli did not have one.
It was like her to forget a thing such as that in the heat of the moment.
"I just hope this is not to hard on the guys who are outside?"
At this point they came to the end of the MS travel zone and knew they had to go the rest of the way on foot.
Both of them in their space suits now got out of the MS, but not before Cagalli had made the MS Delta Gundam transform out of Waverider mode.
The 2 of them now with their guns at the ready as well as a few grenades made their way into the first hallway.
They Athrun was just a cut above the rest as he fired at took out the first lot of guards in their way.
But he knew there would be a whole more to come.
It was at this point Cagalli showed that she was no slouch as well when she too fired at the enemy.
It was clear to Athrun at this point she was scared out of her mind, but she did not let up she fought on none the less.
It was now that they moved on that they shot down a few more of the guards and Athrun threw a grenade to take out the ones behind cover.
They had to get to the CC room before it was too late or it was all over.
Freedom vs Providence
Kira had taken the MS Freedom and now was in a battle against Rau Le Creuset, the man who had done all of this, the man who had made all of this happen!
Rau made his DRAGOONS go and fire at MS Freedom, but the Ultimate Coordinator was able to not only avoid them but shoot back at them.
It was also due to the fact that out all of them Rau had lost 2 to a sneak attack by the MS Buster and the MS Duel.
It did come into play to let Kira use the Multi Lock On System to try to get a hit on those that were left.
"Damn you Kira Yamato, you do not need to exist, do you even understand why, do you boy!"
The MS Providence now fired not only its DRAGOONS, but also the Judicium Beam Rifle he had.
It was large than most that made it hard to us, but it was a whole lot stronger than Kira's Lupus.
Plus in the hands of a pilot of the calibre of Rau Le Creuset, it was not much of set back at all.
A rain of green beams came down on the MS Freedom, but by a means that was almost impossible it was able to avoid most of them.
It also use the Laminated Anti Beam Shield that was now mounted on the left forearm to deflect shots that were not so powerful.
"All of this, it was your doing, you did this, it is what you set up, you were the one who started this war and made it go down this path!"
Kira yelled this as the MS Freedom classed Beam Sabres with the MS Providence pushing the suit back a bit.
It was clear that Rau did not like this as he began to fire the DRAGOONS once more as he said "I gave them a little push that is all, it is they who did this not I, it is in the nature of humanity to fear and to lie and to kill, I was just the one who was able to make them show it boy, you have no idea how twisted humans are!"
Kira in reply to that shot off his Balaena at Rau and managed to shoot down 1 more of his DRAGOONS.
"You are the only one who is twisted, it is because of what you did that people acted the way they did you made them do it!"
Rau now made the MS Providence charge the MS Freedom ramming the younger pilot to throw him back "It is you who is the fool, I did what I had to in order to show humanity its true colours and here you have it!"
He took took a tad too long to say this and Kira was able to get back up and this time cut a strike in.
The MS Freedom's Lacerta Beam Sabres were able to cut off a leg of the MS Providence, but it did not seem to slow Rau down at all.
As the MS Providence now darted away Rau said "Do you think if I die it will mean a thing!"
He had the DRAGOONS now fire again and again to push the MS Freedom back away from him.
"Even if I die, it will not end, you are here taking on me, when you should be at GENESIS, do you know what that means, it means even if I should die here, you still lose boy!"
It was as if an every moving cage was now trying to take down the MS Freedom and Kira.
The DRAGOONS were able to make it almost so, except for the fact that Kira was able to avoid most of them and deflect a few of the lesser ones in order to get out of it.
"That is not true for I have one thing that you have never had!"
Kira said this now as he made a charge at Rau once more, Rau in reply now asked "Oh really boy and what is it that you have that I have never had?"
He began to fire all the guns he had in order to try and shoot down Kira, but the MS Freedom was just that bit too fast for him to just do so.
He'd have to focus on this and only this if he wanted to kill Kira, but at this point the MS Freedom hit him and the MS Providence was barely able to counter in time to save Rau's life.
"It is people I care for, I can see that you never had such a thing and only hated that is why we are different, you are all alone!"
Rau did not take this remark kindly and began to launch to fire off all his DRAGOONS again to try to kill Kira again.
"I do not need such weak things Kira Yamato, you are unable to see it, but I know the true face of all of us, I know that we are all monster and I want to be here at the end, which means you have to die right now!"
As he yelled this the MS Providence began to launch a full on assault of the MS Freedom, it forced the young pilot to pull his MS back away from his foe to try and put a gap between them.
"You are just a fool to think if you care for a person you are stronger for it, if at all it makes you all the weaker!"
Rau now began to focus so hard on attack that Kira could only dodge for he did not have the time to try to attack back.
Rau went on to say "I will be here at the end and if you are, then you can despair at the sight of it, the end of humanity!"
It was clear to Kira at this point he would be unable to do a thing, Rau had him on the run and he had no way to put Rau down.
"You see, you are not better than me at all, all the time that went into making you, it was all a waste, you hear me a waste, I will kill you and then the pop star you follow, is that clear Kira, I will do it!"
It was at this point, a part of Kira broke and his eyes, they lost the iris and now became pure brown as he now entered SEED mode, it was now the time for the 2 of them to dish it out to end this to kill one another now!
Kira now fired back taking out another of the DRAGOONS as he said "You have never loved in your life, if you have never done that how can you claim to have any right how can you claim to know the true face of all of us, if you don't know what love is, you can't call yourself human, just shut up and die you monster!"
Rau now found that he was being pushed back by an enraged Kira Yamato, but he too did not let up "Do not get cocky and all high and mighty with me boy, I do not need to know things such as that, for it is of no use to me, it is but an illusion a sweet lie told to you, you have no idea how cruel the world is if you believe in that sweet lie that they told you!"
The 2 MS went on to clash Beam Sabres again and again, the MS Freedom had no intent of giving an inch as long as Kira was in the cockpit.
And the MS Providence had no intent to back down from this either as long as Rau was in control of it.
"You have nothing to fight for boy, I will win and you will know that I was right all along!"
The 2 MS parted and then went back at one another for another round, Kira this time said "No you will die and you will know that you were wrong, your just a twisted sick man, just die!"
It was as he finished saying this that the 2 MS moved away from one another once more.
This battle it was now taking it's toll on both pilots, both were clear tiring from this battle, but none was about to give just yet.
With Athrun
Athrun and Cagalli had fought a hard battle but now they were close to the control room, they had no idea if they could do this but they had to try.
He gave Cagalli one last look to ask her if she was ready.
In reply to his face she gave him a nod, it was just the 2 of them so they had to be careful, the CC room was full of foes that they may or may not have to kill.
Now turning their guns out and getting ready to fire they saw a sight that none of them expected to see.
Patrick Zala was now floating in mid air with three gun shot wounds to his chest.
A ZAFT Commander with a single bullet wound through the heart with a gun still barely in his hand had been the one to do it.
Athrun's eyes widen in horror as he knew who the man was, it was his mentor his old friend Ray Yuki.
It was at this point a count down came onto the screen and all the people in the CC, they now all began in a hurried fashion to walk if not run to the exit.
In doing so they walked right past Cagalli as well as Athrun who now moved to look at his mentor's dead body.
It was clear that he had been shot first and in his dying moments shot at Patrick Zala to take him down.
Athrun was still in a bit of shock but even he was able to close the eyes his mentor.
As he did this he said "Ray Yuki, he was a good man, too good to condone an act like this."
He gave a salute to his dead mentor then Athrun drifted over to where his father floating.
The man saw that it was his son and through the pain said "Athrun, it is over, your mother she is avenged."
He gave a brief cough as he said this but Athrun in reply said "Mother, mother would never have wanted this, all that you've done, you killed Ray Yuki, your friend, father do you think, I know that there is a part of you left in there, Mother would never have wanted this, none of it, you know it, try to, try to reach deep down see it!"
As if a light now shone down on him, Patrick Zala was able to see in his own mind all that he had done, all the pain he had caused.
The memory of the last smile Lenore gave him was mixed with the memory of when he shot his son.
That last smile, it slowly turned into a frown as the scene repeated in his mind over and over, to the point where Patrick Zala said the words "Sweet Lenore, what have I done!"
It was at this point as he was about to die he looked Athrun in the eyes and Athrun was able to see a glint of his father once more.
"You, you have to get out, Jachin Due is going to self detonate."
He now strained himself as he said "Sorry my son."
If there was more to it than that, Athrun would never know, but the important thing was that his father had been back, it may have been on death's door, but the look in his eyes was the old father that Athrun knew as a child.
It is due to this, that Athrun was able to find that he was able to cry for as he said the words at the end there "That was the man I knew as father."
Due to his space suit he was unable to wipe the tears, but he got up and tried to lock down the controls on the time to no avail.
"Damn, it is locked, Jachin Due is as he said to me, it is going to self destruct and it will fire GENESIS!"
He now contacted Waltfeld "Get all of our units out of here, Jachin Due is going to self detonate and it is going to trigger GENESIS, get out of here do it now!"
He then cut the line as he said to Cagalli "Go, I am going to do what I can, my suit the Justice it can destroy the GENESIS with a nuclear explosion, you have to get out of here!"
Cagalli looked at him and said "I am not just going to leave you here to die, what did you think I'd just do that after how far we've come to get here!"
In reply to her Athrun said "There is no other way, we can't waste time here arguing about what to do Cagalli!"
It was at this point the face of Anthony Hitoro came onto the screen and said "What is going on?"
It was not Athrun who replied but Cagalli who said "Athrun's dad set this thing to self destruct, it will fire GENESIS and the Earth will be damned as we know it, Athrun says if he self detonates his MS Justice he can stop it."
It took all of a moment for Anthony to say "That is only 35% success, my own success rate is higher?"
In reply to that Athrun gave a blink as he said "Wait what are you saying Anthony?"
In reply to that Anthony said "I can stop it, I have the quantity and the charge to do so, let it fire, I will stop it."
Athrun in shock replied "Do you know just how mad that sounds?"
In reply to him Anthony said "I do, but I also know that the little prince, I mean the little princess will need you after this is done, get out of here I can do the rest."
While Cagalli at this point was about to retort to being called a boy, Athrun could see that there was no smile in Anthony's eyes as he said this.
Athrun now said "That is a one way trip."
Anthony just said "We all make it sooner or later, listen all of you, you're good friends to me, times come to return the favour, don't deny me this."
Athrun saw the look in his friend's eyes and said "I will not."
Taking Cagalli by the hand the 2 began to run to their MS as they did this they heard the last words 6 words that Anthony said to them which was "Tell them to make it count."
The 2 of them got to their MS and began to get in them and get out of this place as they did this, they got a contact from Waltfeld who asked "What is the situation can you stop it?"
In reply to that, all that he said was "Anthony said he would stop it, I have faith in him, how are the others."
Waltfeld gave a blink and now even Aisha and Lacus and Kisaka popped up on the screens.
Lacus said "He said what, what do you mean by that."
Aisha just asked "Andy, do you have any idea what he is going to do?"
Kisaka said "Does he have a plan, can you share that with us?"
Athrun in reply said the only thing at this point he could say "He said that he had the charge to do so, I trust him, he also said to tell you to make it count?"
Athrun heard the sound of the Haro that was with Lacus beep and say "YOU GOT A MESSAGE, YOU GOT A MESSAGE!"
Now as he and Cagalli were able to clear the place, Dearka came up on the screen "What the hell is going on, why is there all of this radio chatter about Anthony?"
Athrun in reply said "We can't stop it from firing on our own, Anthony said he'd do it and he said for us to make it count."
Dearka was able to get it and he said "Damn, why is it going to be so?"
With Anthony
Anthony was calm, he knew what was to come and he knew that was going to do this, it was a case of do or die.
No in this case it was do and die or fail and die, but doing and dying would save the lives of many more than just failing and die.
When it came down to it, Anthony did care for his friends and he did also care for all those who at this point had no way to stop GENESIS from killing them.
As he now saw that all of his systems were a go he sung to himself "I sat down in the street and took a look at myself, said where you going man you know the world is headed for hell, say your goodbyes if you've got someone you can say goodbye to."
He gave a smile now as he said "Oh well I guess were going to find out how far we've come, no really it is time, Agito Zero, time to see how far we've come, I want all systems ready to go."
The screen flashed before him an image of him, Sei, Reji, Keith and Tomoya before the last Gunpla show they went to all as a group.
"It is a real long way that I've come, to think that I'd be here at the end of this."
He gave a smile as he said "I am Anthony Hitoro, but I am really Xavier Foster, no one here knows the truth about me, but I am who I am and I am their friend just as they are mine."
"I do not use that term likely but right now they are the closest thing I have to a family here and where I am from, a man must put his family in front of all things, like am about to do."
Eternal (Play Megaman Zero 4 Freesia)
Lacus said "I want you to raise him, we are at a safe distance, I want you to raise him and ask him what he is planning to do, just do it, please."
Lacus now could feel the count down get ever closer to zero, all the pilots in the area were back, that only left Yzak in the MS Duel, Kira in the MS Freedom and Anthony in the MS Agito Zero out in the field.
The only one who was in the line of fire of GENESIS was Anthony, but it was clear he had put himself their on purpose.
After about the 5th hail he opened up a channel with them and Lacus asked him "What is it, what is it that you are trying to do Anthony?"
In reply to her in a calm voice he said "I can stop it, I will stop it, you will see."
It was at this point Jachin Due began to explode and Lacus now asked "Wait what do you mean, Anthony you don't have the fire power!"
In reply to that he gave her a smile as he said in a calm voice "I've got the mass, you're on your own Eternal, Agito Zero out."
As the line cut his voice was so calm so clear it was as if he did not fear a thing at all, it was as if he was at peace with all of this.
It was now that the explosion of Jachin Due was complete and the turning of the wheels of GENESIS began to spin.
Lacus voice now raised in fear as she said "Raise him again, there has to be another way, we have to fire on it, if we do that we can stop, raise him, raise him please." Andrew Waltfeld closed his eyes as turns ran down them for the man who was about to die. "We can't not with that thing going off so soon, Miss Clyne, I am sorry, we just can't do it."
Lacus said "No we have to, we can't just let Anthony die like that, if we do, what type of friends are we, we can't just use him and throw him away!"
It was at this point the screen on the Eternal now flickered to life and the face of Anthony appeared with a smile as he said "This is not death Lacus, this is for Humanity to live on."
It was his way of saying not to worry, that he did not view them as just using him and then letting him die.
Lacus put her head to her hands as she began to sob, she was about to lose a friend, a friend who had been there for here and for all of them and it seemed like he was going to be there one last time."
Light began to glow forth from the MS Agito Zero, it was a red glow and it had it's wings at the ready.
The Twin Buster Rifle Beam Cannon was held out in front of it and a purple light began to glow on the head of the MS.
All of the bridge crew stood up and gave a salute, Aisha and Waltfeld and Decosta as well.
It was now at this climatic moment that a message came through to them form Anthony or rather it was an audio.
"Believe in the future, in people and in the possibility that people possess."
It was at this point that the GENESIS cannon fired and at the same time the MS Agito Zero fired.
All he had said to them was that he was going to stop it, he never had said how.
But it now became clear, he did not intend to stop it, he only wished to split it so that it did not hit Earth.
The beam of red and purple light now hit that the giant gamma ray laser and for but a mere moment it seemed as if the GENESIS cannon was at a halt.
But that did not last for more than a moment for reality ensued and the much smaller blast began to be pushed back.
Lacus at this point was able to lift her head out of her hands and saw this.
It looked like not only would they lose Anthony, but Earth too.
DeCosta said "I am not sure he is going to make it dammit!"
Lacus in reply to that shook her head as she now wiped her tears "Their is nothing in this world that can beat the power of the human spirit, we may not be there with him, but we are in his heart and he will triumph for Anthony is the man who can create miracles, just you see, for I have faith in him."
It was after she said this the MS Agito Zero charged.
Still holding on to it's weapon in began to charge the ever closing in gamma ray, the truth the intense blast was it going to kill him and Earth.
Lacus did not think so nor did any one on the ship, nor did Dearka, Yzak, Athrun, Cagalli, Mu, Delilah, Juri, Mayuri, Asagi, Murrue, Tolle, Mirriallia, Sai, Flay, Kisaka and even Kira as he and Rau paused their fight to watch this battle to name but a few of them.
It was just as he was about to reach the gamma ray as it was about to reach him, the light that was around him burst forth in beautiful light green light.
This light, it was able to part the gamma ray laser right down the centre and all who saw it felt as if they were at peace.
The light it shone brightly and when the last of the gamma ray laser had passed by Earth, it spiralled up flying in the direction of the sun before in a flash it was gone.
That light was gone and so was Anthony, all of those who had held the salute till the end now began to cry as they rejoiced for the Earth was safe.
Aisha gripped Waltfeld tightly as she sobbed into his chest and he into her hair.
The tears in Lacus's eyes resumed, but this time they were tears of joy for she knew he had created the miracle they need.
"It is over, the threat to Earth it is over."
But she knew that it was not yet truly over for Rau was still alive and was now fighting Kira.
"All MS get to Kire and bring and end to Rau Le Creuset, in the memory of Anthony!"
(Stop Playing Megaman Zero 4 Freesia)
With Kira and Rau
Rau could not believe his eyes, it had been stopped, it was over, his plan to destroy all of humanity, it had all failed.
And it was all due to the pilot of that red demon, he saw his chance when Kira was off guard and in awe of what had just gone down to try and kill him.
"It's not over yet, not while I am still alive, the Earth may be safe for now, but it will die and you will not live to see it!"
Rau launched his 2 of his DRAGOONS, they were all he had left for Kira and him had been fighting this entire time and both were tired out as hell.
Firing all that he could from his suit at Kira he said "It is not over, it is never over, humanity will die, it has to die, it has to!"
Kira at this point began to fire back as he said "You are but a mad man, you have no right to live, you did all of this and we rose above it, bring what you want, bring GENESIS or worse we will stop you no matter how often we have to do so, we will stop you!"
Rau in a rage siad "You're dead meat now boy, I'm going to kill you and then you pop star just as I promised you have taken my victory so I might as well take away yours!"
It was now just as the two of them were about to clash for the final time a purple beam sabre stuck out of the back of the MS Providence, Rau was still alive, but he was barely in fact he was now dying from that blow.
Yzak Joule in the MS Duel, wielding the Hyper Beam Sabre of the MS Agito Zero that Anthony had given him had now stabbed Rau right in the back.
"You feel that bitch, that is from Anthony along with all of the people you've killed, even Nicol!"
He now twisted the Hyper Beam Sabre as he pulled it out and said "It is only fair since you were the one who caused this war that your death mark the end of it."
He now chose to say words smilar to what Anthony had said about the EA.
"You must regret the fact that you failed, you must regret that you are now dead and you most definitely regret the fact that the Agito Zero and Anthony Hitoro kicked the ass of the GENESIS Cannon!"
The MS Providence now exploded and both him and Kira now made their way back to the 3 ship Alliance.
As they did both of them now heard Lacus Clyne tell all of the world of what had just gone done.
"It has not taken long for this battle to end, after all both sides were ruthless and efficient, but that was not nearly enough to stop us, the GENESIS Cannon the final blast of it was cut in half by the Mobile Suit Agito Zero and the pilot of said suit, Anthony Hitoro."
"He did so to pass on the torch, the torch and it is thanks to him that Earth still stands, our victory his victory was so close I wish he was here to see it."
"But he now belongs to all of space, his body, his Mobile Suit, all vanished in that brilliant flash of light."
"Yet he was able to leave us his courage, is hope and is faith it the possibility of a brighter future, it is that same possibility that now rest in our hands, we must use it not to destroy but to rebuild our world."
Six months later (Play Angel Beast My Most Precious Treasure)
It seemed that the Desert Tiger had taken the advice the Light of the Bloody Valentine gave him oh so long ago when the first had a cup of coffee.
This day he had married his beloved Aisha, who was alive and well, at the wedding their were 3 seats side by side that were left empty except for a picture on each.
One was of the ZAFT Red Jacket Nicol Almafi, that seat was beside where his mother and next to the other empty seat that had his father's picture on it.
Right at the far back corner where the man in life would have no doubt sat was a rare picture of Anthony Hitoro in his Class Zero Uniform with a full smile in which all could see that his eyes smiled along with his face.
It was at the end of this wedding, just as the bride and groom left the church and all the guest began to follow, the songstress PLANTS Lacus Clyne felt the urge to turn around once more.
For all but a brief second during the hustle and bustle right up the front where no one else was left she saw two young men.
One had light green hair and wore a red jacket, the other had red hair with a black jacket with a crimson cape.
They seemed to notice that she was looking at them both turned at her and gave a smile.
The young man in the red jacket with green hair and the kind face gave a gave to her while the one in the black jacket with red hair and the crimson cape gave her the thumbs up.
A person passed by blocking her view and when she looked to the front of the Church again the 2 young men were no where to be seen.
She heard the voice of her lover now said "Lacus are you looking for someone?"
Lacus turned to her lover and said "No Kira, I found the 2 who I was looking for, they were with me along right here."
It was at this point she tapped her hand to her chest and Kira knew who she meant and gave her a hug as he said "They will always be here in our hearts Lacus, thing we have to know that even if our friends do die, the part of them that we love it lives on in us."
Lacus gave him a nod as she shed a few tears and said "I know that now Kira, I know, he was the older brother to all of us and to him the older brother had to take care of his younger siblings, we are his younger siblings and he had to take care of us and we now must build the future with what he gave us."
The two of them look out the door of the Church into the world that awaited them, it did not matter what was going to happen.
They were stronger because of Anthony, the light that he had showed them they would hold dear for all their years.
