Thanks to Reishin Amara for your review.
"This is Athrun reporting in" said Athrun
"Are you alright Athrun" asked Cagalli
"Yes, I'm fine" said Athrun smiling
"What did you find out" asked Kira
"Lacus was right, the Chairman does want me to rejoin ZAFT" said Athrun
"He's tried to convince me by giving me the Aegis copy called the Saviour" he said
"So ZAFT did make copies of all five G-Weapons" said Cagalli
"But why did they keep it from the others" asked Lacus
"I don't know" said Athrun
"But that isn't the worst thing I found out" he said
"What is it" asked Kira
"The Chairman hired someone to impersonate Lacus" said Athrun
"WHAT" yelled everyone?
"He even told me that he did it so he could use Lacus' influence to control the Plant's population" said Athrun
"Why would he tell you something like that" asked Van
"I don't know" said Athrun
"I met her and found out how and why she was chosen" he said
"Her real name is Meer Campbell and she was chosen because her voice sounds almost like Lacus'" he continued
"She was given plastic surgery to look like Lacus and taught how to impersonate her" he continued
"But whoever the Chairman hired to do the surgery and teach her did a rotten job" he continued
"Anyone who knew Lacus could immediately tell the difference" he finished
"What do you mean" asked Kira
"She wears the wrong hair clip and what she wears is more like a bathing suit than a dress" said Athrun
He heard growling over his clyuno and thought "I am so glad I am not there"
"The Haro she has is the wrong color" said Athrun
"And I would never make anything that stupid" he shouted
This time he heard giggling over his clyuno. "There is one more thing" said Athrun
"What else" asked Lacus exasperated?
"She has a bigger chest" said Athrun quickly
He then held his clyuno as far away from his ear as he could.
"WHAT" yelled everyone?
He then heard a lot of cursing over his clyuno. His eyes widen when he heard a lot of cursing coming from Lacus. "She has been spending way too much time with Cagalli" thought Athrun
Once everyone calmed down Cagalli asked in a sickly sweet voice "Why did you meet with her Athrun?"
"She was told me and Lacus were still engaged and literally dragged me to dinner" said Athrun quickly
"I went along with it thinking it would be a good way to get information out of her" he said
"Alright" said Cagalli
Athrun let out a sigh of relief at that.
"Is that all" asked Kira
"Yes" said Athrun
"We will talk to you later then" said Kira
"Bye" said Cagalli
A little after he finished talking, there was a knock on his door. "That must be my 'guard' for the day" thought Athrun
He opened the door and saw it was Yzak. "Nice move Chairman" thought Athrun
"Let's see what happens today" he thought
He had to jump back when Yzak tried to grab him "You bastard" shouted Yzak
"What's the matter" asked Athrun
"I had to leave the front lines because of you" shouted Yzak
"How is that my fault" asked Athrun
"I was called back for an important mission" said Yzak
"And I find out it's being your bodyguard for the day" he shouted
"Where did you want to go" he grumbled
"I wanted to go visit everyone's grave" said Athrun
Yzak nodded his head and they left.
While they were at the cemetery Yzak gave a speech how there wouldn't be any problems if Athrun came back to ZAFT and about what happened to him.
"This doesn't sound like Yzak" thought Athrun
He concentrated on his alpha and felt they were being watched.
Back in Orb, Cagalli, Van, and Fiona went to the Minerva to see Captain Gladys.
"I am glad that you came to see us off Representative" said Talia
"I'm afraid that isn't the full reason that I am here" said Cagalli
"What is it" asked Talia
"We recently found out that two of my former cabinet members have been sending classified information to the Earth Forces" said Cagalli
"The last information they sent before we caught then was that the Minerva was in Orb" she said
"So you think we will run into an Earth Forces fleet once we leave" said Talia
"Yes" said Cagalli nodding her head
"Unfortunately we will not be able to help you or let you back in once you leave" she said
"I understand" said Talia
"I thank you for the warning" she said
"It is no problem" said Cagalli
"It is the least that I could do" she said
Cagalli, Van, and Fiona left the Minerva and watch as it left port and sailed away. "Do you want us to follow them" asked Van
"Yes" said Cagalli
"But stay under Mirage Colloid the whole time" she said
"Do not interfere no matter what happens" she said
"We can't afford to reveal ourselves just yet" she said
"Yes ma'am" said Van and Fiona
Van and Fiona went to the hanger and went inside. They got inside their Gundams and took off activating their Mirage Colloid.
They followed the Minerva past Orb's borders and saw they ran into an Earth Forces fleet once they were out of range of Orb's Defense Fleet.
The Minerva launched their three mobile suits. The two ZAKUs landed on top of the two catapults to act as gun emplacements. While the Impulse flew off to take care of the mass of mobile suits heading their way.
Van kept an eye on the Earth Forces fleet while Fiona looked after the Minerva.
"It looks like the Minerva is being overwhelmed" said Fiona
Van saw some sort of mobile armor launched from the Earth Forces Fleet. "The Earth Forces just launched some sort of mobile armor" said Van
"The Minerva activated their positron cannon" said Fiona
Van saw the mobile armor flip up and deploy an energy shield. "The mobile armor has deployed an energy shield" said Van
"It's going to try to block the positron cannon" he exclaimed
The Tannhauser fired and the Zamza-Zah was able to block it for a few moments before it was pushed back and there was an explosion. When the smoke cleared it showed that the Zamza-Zah received no damage what so ever.
"It actually blocked a shot from a positron cannon" said Van shocked
"Do you think it could work against a charged particle cannon" he asked
"Maybe" said Fiona
"But since it is from the Earth Forces, we can't get any data on it" she said
"You're right" said Van sighing
They watched as the Impulse and Zamza-Zah fought against each other. Eventually the Zamza-Zah caught one of the Impulse's legs in its claws. The battery ran out of power right then as the Variable Phase Shift Armor turned off. The Zamza-Zah tore off the Impulse's leg and threw it away.
The Impulse was able to right itself before it crashed into the water. They then saw the Minerva shoot an energy beam at the Impulse that recharged its battery.
"That energy beam recharged the Impulse's battery" said Van shocked
They saw that the pilot started acting differently as it destroyed the Zamza-Zah with its beam sabers. It then received new legs and changed to the sword pack. It then went psycho on the Earth Forces fleet destroying everything in sight.
"He's gone psycho" said Van
Van and Fiona left when they saw the Earth Forces fleet retreat and the Minerva call back their mobile suits.
Once they got back to Orb they went to Cagalli's mansion as quickly as they could. When Cagalli saw them she asked "What did you find out"
Van and Fiona told Cagalli about everything they saw. Once they were done, Cagalli said "So the Earth Forces came up with a way to block a positron cannon"
"That energy beam sounds very useful" said Kira
"I guess the engineers wanted to make up for making such a badly designed mobile suit" said Athrun
"I can't believe the Earth Forces didn't try to shoot any of the flying parts down" he grumbled
"I am worried about the drastic change that came over the pilot" said Lacus
"Do you think he could have a Seed as well" she asked
"It looks like it" said Kira
"We will need to be more careful around him now" he said
"Dearka, I ran in Yzak" said Athrun
"How is he doing" asked Dearka
Athrun explained everything that happened during his trip to the cemetery.
"I'm so glad I didn't go back to ZAFT now" said Dearka
"I got to go" said Athrun
"I have my meeting with the Chairman to 'rejoin' ZAFT" he said
"Good luck" said Cagalli
"Thanks" said Athrun
Later on Athrun was fixing his red ZAFT uniform in the Chairman's office.
"I rather wear an Orb uniform" thought Athrun
"This is for you" said Durandal holding out a Faith badge
"A Faith badge" thought Athrun
"So Lacus was right about that as well" he thought
"Thank you sir" said Athrun taking the badge
"I want you to head to the Minerva and be station there" said Durandal
"Yes sir" said Athrun saluting
Athrun went to the Saviour's hanger and got ready to launch.
"Athrun Zala, Saviour launching"
