Ok chap 3 up so please R&R I'll take any help if necessary, thanks again to Erin for the help and use of Arli.
"What but how's that possible." Mu simply said not really able to understand what the boy in front of him just said.
"I remember it was broadcasted on quite a few stations about that but apparently you were killed." Murrue explained but unsure on how it was possible that he was alive.
"Well I might as well explain to everyone, my mother was a natural and my father a co-ordinator; of course my siblings before me were just 100 natural and co-ordinator, my elder sister being the co-ordinator. However for some reason only the genes that came from my father were altered to bring out the best but the doctors couldn't change my mothers genes so when I was born I was claimed half natural and half co-ordinator." Ryan stopped to see the shock on everyone's faces, he then continued. "After 15 years of my life went by I was thought by everyone to be 'normal' but a month before my 16th the Earth Alliance, blue cosmos and the PLANTS had found out about my existence and declared my entire family and relatives traitors……soon after ZAFT soldiers hunted down and killed all of the natural side of my family and relatives, including my mother." He paused to hold back his and stop himself from going berserk, everyone was listening intently, some felt sorry for him others were confused. "And then Earth forces soldiers went and hunted the co-ordinator side of my family, influenced by blue cosmos, by then my dad had been able to get me and him into hiding under his underground base, but somehow they found out and stormed the place. My dad led me to the underground hangar where Hydra was kept, finished where I was placed in the cockpit, I had already practiced the controls and was told to escape. As Hydra and I left the base it blew up by self detonation taking everyone there the soldiers the crew…and my dad." Ryan ended his face calm but his voice was shaking towards the end. Everyone was silent, until the alarm sounded off.
"Damn I can't fight my mobile armours too badly damaged!" Mu shouted getting everyone's attention that they needed to move. The civilians had gone into the ships quarters where the staff got to their jobs. Kira decided to help and launched with the sword striker pack. Ryan had to help as there was civilians so he prepared for battle. Mu appeared on one of his screens.
"Careful the GINNS are using equipment used to take out bases." Mu explained
"Don't worry, I'm only helping as theres civilians got that." Ryan said calmly, closing the link. As he was about to go on the catapult he noticed on one of the Hydra's screen a person in a red ZAFT uniform being dragged by a few soldiers. Oh well stupid ZAFT probably trying to steal that sixth one I noticed, need to get that things data. He noted as he launched the phase shift on, GINN sword unsheathed. He noticed three GINNS and one of the stolen G-weapons the Aegis, even though it wasn't moving and the strike was dealing with one of them. Hydra charged to one of GINNS who was attacking the ship, Hydra swung the sword but missed as it evaded to shoot it back, but Hydra quickly evaded it. Lets see how you like this bastard Hydra brought out it's beam rifle mounted on it's shoulder and fired three shots, the first and second took out is weapons and the last hit its head destroying it, Hydra then sliced its arm off and then pierced it's chest into the cockpit killing the pilot. Ryan relished in seeing the GINN blow up before him the sword being destroyed as well. One down one to go Ryan thought turning to see a shot from the Archangel miss the GINN and destroy one of the supports of the colony Ryan turned on communications to the Archangel.
"Ok….WHAT BLOODY IDIOT WHENT AND DID THAT!" Ryan shouted out hearing a 'shit' from Mu, Ryan merely placed his hand over his helmet visor so much for the hawk of Endymion. He turned his attention to the Strike who had destroyed the GINN and what appeared to be in combat with the Aegis, didn't think he had it in him….ooohhhhh shit Ryan thought as the last GINN had been destroyed but not before two stray missiles had taken out another support stucture resulting in Heliopolis collapse.
Ryan looked around to see the now destroyed Heliopolis, he decided to back to the ship to see where they were heading, as he approached he noticed the strike outside the hatch with a container.
"Hey what's going on here Kira?" Ryan asked Hydra now beside the strike.
"I found this shelter just floating around, it looks like the propulsion malfunctioned and now miss Natarle Baguiral won't allow to enter with it." Kira explained.
"But that's just nuts we cant abandon civilians, come on!" Ryan shouted to the bridge crew, Natarle was about to say something but Murrue cut in.
"Fine you have my permission we cant waste time with matters like these." She calmly said clearly wanting to get out of the area. The Strike entered first then Hydra entered quickly after. After assessing the damage which was minimal done during the battle Ryan exited the cockpit and noticed Kira being hugged by a girl who obviously came out of the container and also saw Kira blushing. Maybe we should have left it in space I've got a weird feeling about her but first…Ryan turned away and headed for the prison hold on the ship.
Once there he first thought that it was empty but then noticed someone laying still at the far end in a cell. He walked up to the cell door and it looked as though the person was sleeping but realised that wasn't the case.
"I know your not sleeping so take off your helmet and tell me what your in for." Ryan demanded with a hint of curiosity wondering how a ZAFT red suit soldier got caught. The pilot turned around and took off the helmet.
"Wait, you're a girl?" Ryan asked stupidly
"Hey what's that supposed to mean, and you don't look like your with the Earth Forces." The captured girl asked a little annoyed.
"Well I didn't think…never mind that and no I am not with the Earth Forces besides how did you get caught?" Ryan asked getting his composure back, looking at the girl straight in the face. The girl had tanned skin blonde hair that reached her waist and had pink eyes. "Yeah and what's your name as well?" Ryan continued one hand behind his back ready to reach for his gun.
"Fine the reason why I was captured was because I was trying to steal that sixth G-weapon aboard the ship it's called the Combat, my name is Arli Elthsman, and has anyone asked you why your left eye is blue and the other is green?" Arli replied as if she trusted Ryan.
"Well you trust me for some reason so I might as well the reason is I'm half natural and half co-ordinator, and why do I get a weird feeling about you, I can tell your not an ordinary co-ordinator." Ryan replied trying to figure out why this girl trusted him.
"What but I heard that person was killed!" Arli shouted back surprised.
"Thanks to my dad and my mobile suit Hydra I survived and have been getting my revenge since." He coldly replied back not wanting to tell that tale again.
"Oh well the reason I trust you is because I'm an experiment who was created to be an assassin, when I was born I had natural shooting skills, and martial artist skills, I could lie to any one no matter what and I could tell what was going through peoples minds just by looking into their eyes, so when I looked into your eyes I knew you were a good person." Arli replied now wondering what this other person was going to do.
"You must be losing your touch unless you didn't look that deep go on see what going through my mind." Ryan insisted staring at her straight in the eyes.
"Well I see…sadness and hatred and revenge and that's all I'm willing to see." Arli answered still staring at this mysterious person in front of her.
"Looks like you were telling the truth, now I have one question….."Ryan pulled out one of his guns out from behind his back, and Arli pulled out a gun strapped to her ankle. "What do you wish to do now, go back to ZAFT?" Ryan asked still pointing his gun at her not flinching at the fact Arli reacted so quickly at getting her gun out.
"No I don't during the attack one of our allies had killed innocent people, I don't support what ZAFT does. I wish to help this ship." Arli replied her eyes showing she was telling the truth. Ryan put his gun back and drew a dagger from inside his jacket and went up to the cell door, and unlocked it. At that moment sirens blared out signifying the ship was under attack.
"Well now's your chance hurry come on." Ryan said running out Arli behind him. They got to the hangar without anyone noticing, Ryan jumped in to his mobile suit and Arli went in to the Combat starting to rewrite the OS.
"Ryan I am now the Archangels communications officier, we're under attack from the stolen G-weapons, the Blitz, the Buster, the Duel and the Aegis, you are clear to launch."
"Alright Mir we're getting help from the Combat I found a pilot for it, relay to Murrue for me will you, Ryan, Hydra Launching!" Ryan cried out as Hydra launched from the catapult phase shift activated and charged towards the battle. The Combat had launched quickly after Arli explained that she was going to help. Combat's phase shift was activated and its coloured turned from grey to gold with black and red highlighting it.
"You sure about this you are going to have to face your old team" Ryan asked slightly concerned.
"Don't worry I was taught not to hesitate." Arli replied quickly.
"Fine but don't get in my way." Ryan said as Hydra dismounted its gun on its shoulder and placed it in its hand and drew one of its T shaped handles and a bright red beam came out more intensified then a beam sabre. Hydra charged right at the Blitz and swung the beam sword but the Blitz evaded it and countered with a missile barrage which Hydra use its rifle to shoot down, they then went in to a beam clash one trying to throw the other off balance.
"Ryan the strikes been captured by the Aegis!" Arli cried out over the comm.
"Ah damn, that idiot, I'll get him!" Ryan shouted back breaking the clash and kicking the Blitz in the head and sped towards Aegis carrying the Strike, it's phase shift down the Mobius Zero shot the Aegis until it released the Strike and transformed to its mobile suit form, Ryan made this his chance and kicked the Aegis and did a half back flip, the bulky part of the shoulders rose up to reveal they were shoulder claw cannons, three shots were fired hitting each one of the other G-weapons. Hydra then finished its back flip and floated in front of the Strike.
"Kira get back to the ship, I'm gonna finish them off!" Ryan ordered Kira as the double barrel Gatling guns moved to its hip and the cannons and the beam rifle in its hand posed to shoot the stolen mobile suits.
"Wait Ryan don't shoot, them!" Arli cried out the Combat now beside the Hydra, facing it.
"What, you're kidding right." Ryan said back at Arli the Hydra's head turned to face the combat.
"Please I just want to talk to them, so they know I'm ok." Arli pleaded looking as if she was close to tears.
"(sigh) Fine you win, just make sure you come back, Mu you hear that." Ryan replied and contacting Mu.
"Yeah I got ya, returning to the ship now" Mu replied the Mobieus returning to the Archangel, the Strike and Hydra followed suit.
"Kira you ok?" Ryan asked as they reached the warship.
"Yeah I'm ok, how did you do that back there?" Kira asked having observed Ryan's little stunt.
"What that, well I've done that a few times, it's harder on Earth though with the gravity and by the way I'm going to punch you for being an idiot for wasting your energy like that." Ryan replied and cracking his knuckles as the two mobile suits entered the ship soon followed by the Combat.
"Hey Ryan thanks for helping us back there." Mu kindly said to Ryan once he was out of the Hydra's cockpit.
"I was only helping because you have civilians on board got that." Ryan snapped back at the lieutenant.
"O-ok well I should tell ya we're near Artemis now." Mu said as he walked off. A shocked expression came on Ryan's face for a brief second, quickly hiding it as he saw Arli heading towards him.
"So you came back then, what did your team mates say then?" Ryan asked.
"Well I think they understood although I don't think they were happy that I'm with the Earth forces now." Arli replied a sad look on her face.
"Don't worry about it come on, you can't get sad on it lets go to the cafeteria and eat we deserve it after all." Ryan said happily trying to cheer Arli up.
"Thanks, lets eat." Arli said as they walked to the cafeteria. Great Artemis of all the Earth Forces bases it had to be a Eurasian one, I've got to leave the ship, or I could just hide and hope no one blurts out the pilot of Hydra is on board. Ryan thought as he and Arli entered the cafeteria, with Kira already in there.
"Hey Kira is there any food left with all these people around?" Ryan asked
"Yeah there should be, you remember these guys don't you?" Kira replied pointing towards Mir and the others.
"Yeah apart from the one next to Sai who is she?"
"Um my names Flay…Flay Aulster, Sai has told me a bit apart you." Flay replied nervously.
"Oh yeah what did he mention about me?" Ryan asked giving a suspicious look towards Sai, who gave a nervous smile back.
"Just that your that half natural half co-ordinator, as if co-ordinators were bad enough." Flay said back her voice rising, everyone's attention was on Ryan now.
"What?!" Arli shouted at Flay.
"What the hell is that meant to mean?!" Ryan shouted back as annoyed as Arli.
"Well half of both is worse then co-ordinators they're pretty much freaks!" Flay shouted back.
"Flay that's enough." Sai calmly said trying to get Flay to calm down.
"You Bitch!" Ryan shouted pulling out his gun and pointing it at Flay. Just then armed soldiers came in at everyone, Ryan quickly put his gun back before they noticed, they were all ordered to sit down. Looks like we're at Artemis, great just what I need. Ryan sat down on the floor with Arli next to him.
"Are you okay?" Arli whispered to Ryan, he turned to face her.
"I'm fine I just hope they don't find out I'm here."
"Why's that?"
"Well I've been attacking ZAFT and Earth Forces bases for the past two months, only minor ones but most of the Earth bases I've attacked belong to the Eurasian forces."
"So that means your on their wanted list but why…." Arli didn't finish as Admiral Garcia had entered everyone looked to see what he wanted.
"Where are the pilots for the three mobile suits, especially the X-245 Hydra." Garcia stated looking around to see if the pilots were in here.
"Him he pilots one of them he's that half natural and half co-ordinator!" Flay shouted out pointing at Ryan, who immediately gave her a quick glance of anger, before being dragged to Garcia by two soldiers.
"So you're the ones who has caused us some trouble in that mobile suit, now tell us who the other two pilots are." Garcia demanded looking Ryan in the eye.
"……Hm no I don't think so Admiral." Ryan replied in a mocking tone returning Garcia's look.
"Fine then." Garcia said as he pulled out a gun and pointed it at Ryan "If you wish to die I have no worries about that, so tell me who they are." Garcia again demanded, however Ryan remained silent.
"I'm on of the pilots." Kira spoke up standing up.
"Impossible a mere boy like you couldn't pilot that thing." Garcia snapped back looking at kira
"Its true he's a co-ordinator, and so that girl there she used to be with ZAFT!" Flay burst out, receiving another glare from Ryan.
"Hm fine take them to the hangar." Garcia ordered. Once there Garcia stared at the three.
"Since all three mobile suits have locks on them-"
"you want us to unlock them so you can take their data, I don't think so." Ryan interrupted smiling mockingly at the admiral.
"I've had just about had enough of you!" Garcia shouted and pulled out his gun, then an explosion caused the hangar to shake and for Garcia to lose his balance.
"We have to go now!" Arli shouted running to get on the Combat, Kira close behind, Ryan looked back to see the admiral had left. Probably to know what the explosion was about heh heh perfect Ryan thought as he entered Hydra and launched to find the cause. He found the Blitz close by launching missiles to damage the base. He took out the umbrella shield, nice. Ryan noticed that there was a viewing screen next to him which had the admiral in it. How perfect Hydra pulled out one of it's beam swords and plunged it into the room killing everyone in it including the admiral.
"See you in hell admiral!" Ryan shouted out aloud laughing to himself.
"Ryan we're to return to the archangel." Kira suddenly said to Ryan over the comm link as the Strike and the Combat had been fighting the Blitz.
"Roger Kira you hurry first the Blitz is mine." Ryan replied back watching the Strike pass him to reach the Archangel.
"Ryan please don't kill him." Arli said as the Combat passed the Hydra.
"Fine." Ryan said as Hydra charged at the Blitz.
"I have to thank you for taking the base out., because of the umbrella shield I couldn't make a dent even with my G-weapon if thats what you call it." Ryan called out to the Blitz using the radio.
"Why thank you although it was thanks to the Blitz, but now it's your turn." the pilot of the Blitz replied it's own beam sabre out.
"What…your voice sounds familiar have we met before?" Ryan asked trying to remember who this person was.
"Well now you mention it your voice does seem familiar but-" The pilot was cut off by an explosion forcing both mobile suits to retreat, Hydra entered Archangel's hangar as the thrusters ignited and the legged ship left Artemis.
I know I've met that person before but where? Was the thought that ran through Ryan's head as he made for his quarters and fell straight asleep.
