Disclaimer: Ya'll noe dee drill!… Dun't really want to repeat it.
Note: This story is wat I think. I noe it's not like wat happened in the series but like I said: It's wat I think and don't give me the "nuh-uh tats not wat happen thang or any of that kind of you noe wats." Some events in dee story will be somewat similar so… PLEASE NO FLAMES: ) and I don't remember all of the events so ya.
Also! I'm not a total smarty-pants in English. So don't question or comment on my writing and/or grammar. I only got a B for this course but my writing is the craps!
Oh! And sorry for updating so freakin slow. I had a lot of stuff in my head and with the combo of college. U noe wat I mean.
GSD is airing on YTV and I'm somewhat psyched. Yep, I'm gonna record it on tape just like I did to the other anime shows that I like. I don't buy the DVD's cause they are too expensive and like everyone else who needs money for school and whatever, I'm saving. I don't really like GSD cause of the bad ending but I'll record it anyways, either wise the collection with GS would look weird. BOOO! Stupid repeats for BLEACH and Eureka 7.

Inner Beauty of DestructionChapter Five
"……. Ugh…. my head…. What happened? Where am I?"
"Your in the Minerva now, Shinn."
"What?… How did I … wait! … WHAT HAPPENED?!"
"Shinn calm down! You're in no condition to move right now!" screamed Rey.
"Rey?… Is that you? What happened to me?"
"Yes Shinn, it's me. You were unconscious when the Freedom threw you into the ocean and was about to give you a final blow. But luckily he didn't since someone from the Archangel cracked into his senses. You are very lucky to still be alive since you were fighting against the Freedom. We're all very proud of you Shinn. You did a very good job in destroying the Strike," smirked Rey.
Shinn instantly got up even though he was feeling extensive pain all over. "Freedom… Oh my god! The Strike Rouge! I killed her… I killed the Princess of Orb!" yelled Shinn while grabbing Rey's collar.
Rey, in return, grabbed Shinn by his collar and slapped him across the face, but gently placed him back down onto the bed.
"It was orders to kill anyone who got in our way. And that person who calls herself the Princess was one of them. Besides, she was an impostor who posed to be the Princess."
Feeling the burning slap from Rey Za Burrel, Shinn snapped back at him. "HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT IT WAS AN IMPOSTOR?! HOW DO ANY OF US KNOW THAT SHE WASN'T WHAT SHE SAID SHE WAS?! I KILLED THE PRINCESS REY!!!"
Holding is position and starring directly into Shinn's guiltful eyes, Rey just smiled one of his soft smiles.
"She wasn't the Princess, Shinn. It was someone who claims to be her but it wasn't her. You did what you were told to do and we are all in your debt for your efforts. If it wasn't for you, the Minerva would've been destroyed and many of your friends on board would've been dead."
"But… "
"No more buts Shinn. You need to rest up. We are on course to meet with the Chairman. He wouldn't want to see you all battered up now would he?"
"… … … yeah."
"Good. Now I'll leave you to rest. And Shinn, no more worrying okay?"
"… Yes"
With that, Rey left Shinn's room. Leaning on the door, one of Rey's famous suspicious smirks plastered his face.
"Well done Shinn. Now that she's out of the way, they could commence to the plan. Hehehe…" Rey then walked down the hall towards his own room to make some calls.
--------------------------------------------------------------
After Rey had left Shinn's room, Shinn began to think about what had happened before he ended up back in the Minerva.
"I was fighting Freedom. Then he was in a heated conversation with Athrun. The Princess was there too and was trying to stop everyone from fighting. We were all over the place in the sky. Freedom was trying to protect Strike Rouge and then I just sliced through her? Is that what happened?"
While Shinn was deep in thought, he didn't notice that someone had came into his room.
"Shinn?"
"Huh?" Shinn looked up and it was Lunamaria. She was must've been really badly injured judging by the bandages wrapping her head, sling on her left arm and a rectangle bandage on her right cheek. She was even limping her way towards Shinn's bedside. "Luna… Are you okay? What are you doing here?"
"Oh! I just wanted to see how you were doing since they didn't let anyone in to see you while you were in the med room. And… ya… I'm okay. Thanks for asking. So… How are YOU doing?"
"… I'm… I'm…" Shinn stuttered and after a few seconds, bursted crying.
"SHINN!" Lunamaria immediately used her uninjured right arm and placed it around Shinn's shoulder trying her best to comfort him. "Shinn… what's wrong? Tell me."
Shinn hugged Lunamaria and cried even harder. "LUNA!! …. I killed her!"
Lunamaria was taken back. "Killed who?" she thought. "Shinn, who did you kill?" she asked.
"The Princess! I killed The Representative of ORB!" cried Shinn.
Lunamaria was taken back really hard. She wasn't sure if she was hearing what he was saying was right. But she thoroughly thought about it and that's when she realized what he meant.
"Shinn… That wasn't the princess. I'm sure she's safe somewhere else. I've heard rumors that she's-"
"NO! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!" yelled Shinn which scared Luna. "You're just like Rey. Telling me that the person I killed wasn't her. BUT IT WAS HER! I KNOW IT WAS HER!"
"Shinn…" Luna brought Shinn closer to her. Shinn just kept on crying and crying and Luna just let him cry it all out.
"No one understands. I'm sure it was the Princess. Freedom confirmed it was her. He screamed her name. Even Athrun called her by her name." After mentioning that name, it hit Shinn straight in the head. "Luna! What happened to Athrun? Did he get killed? Did he leave us? What did Freedom do to him? Is he-"
"SHINN!" shouted Lunamaria and Shinn immediately shut his mouth. "Athrun's fine, he's not dead. No, Freedom didn't do anything to him and no he didn't leave us. He came back about four hours after you came back. He hasn't left his room since he came back on board."
"What? What has he been doing for those four hours?"
"I don't know for sure but he was with Freedom and it seems that they were looking for something."
Shinn didn't say anymore. He knew exactly what or better yet, who they were looking for. And he didn't even need an answer to why Athrun hasn't left his room since he came back. It was because he had killed someone very dear to him. Shinn knows that Athrun probably doesn't want to ever see his face again or either want him to be near him at all. Nothing could ever make up for what he did and Shinn knows that he's going to have to live with that for the rest of his life.
Noticing that Shinn was in deeper thought and didn't seem to want to talk to anyone anymore. Lunamaria left his room, but before she did, she took one last glance at him and whispered under her breath.
"Shinn… it's not your fault,"

Earth Forces secret Science Lab hide out…"What's the status right now?"
"Sir! We suffered many casualties and lost Auel in the process."
The name rang in Neo's head and instant sadness fell upon him. He knew of Auel's death since he saw it in action while watching him from the screen. Auel was special to Neo. He was like a son to him and a very bright young boy who loves to do things his own way. It is to Neo's sadness that he died in the hands of Shinn Asuka. But he did not die for nothing. He died protecting not only the EA forces or himself, but for his only family, Stellar and Sting.
"Auel…"
"Sir, we have recovered his body. What are our orders?"
Neo thought for a while. He didn't expect Auel's body to be recovered at all, but they found it. Neo wanted to tell Auel how much he valued him and how much he meant to him. But Auel's gone and the only chance he gets to last see Auel and tell him all the things he should've said is now.
"Please, take me to him."
"Yes sir."
--------------------------------------------------------------
Neo walked passed many injured soldiers and workers. It was an unbearable sight for him. Neo ever really liked seeing injured people, but because he is a Commander, he can't show his weakness. He has to be strong not only for himself but for the sake of the people he's serving.
After, what seemed like a miles walk, Neo finally reached the body of Auel who was laid peacefully on a silver steel table with a white sheet covering him.
"Auel…" whispered Neo as he walked towards him. "Auel… I never told you how much of a son you were to me. You were very special and I just wish that your life didn't end this way. You'll be missed by everyone who knew you, especially Stellar and Sting. I… I… I wish I never sent you or any of the others out there. Because of me, you're here lying on this table. Stellar and Sting is going to miss you so much. Please help me watch over them just in case if something were to ever happen to me. And Auel, please forgive me." Just when Neo was about to say one last thing, he heard a voice.
"Don't worry about it, Neo." Neo turned around and saw Auel starring back at him with the happiest face he had ever put on. "I'm glad that you were there to take care of me. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have met you, Stellar or Sting. I'm grateful that you took care of me. Please don't cry over me. I'm really happy that I don't have to suffer anymore. I'm finally free from this world. Neo, take care of everyone! And I'll watch over Stellar, Sting and you. Oh! Tell them that I'll miss them a lot…"
"Auel… I…"
"I know. Me too…. I have to go now," and with that, Auel waved goodbye and disappeared before Neo's eyes. And all you could hear was his laughter of freedom.
"Auel… thank you for everything," whispered Neo under his breath.
"Ummm… sir?" said the mechanic interrupting Neo's moment. "What should we do with him?"
"Prepare him and bury him in a peaceful colony."
"Yes, sir," said the mechanic and took off.
Neo was just about to go back to is quarters until he spotted Sting and Stellar. He walked his way towards them to see if they were okay.
"Stellar! Sting!" yelled Neo as he walked towards them.
"NEO!" screamed Stellar as she ran towards him giving him a big hug. "Neo, Auel… Auel…" stuttered Stellar and bursted into tears.
"I know… I know… It's okay."
"Neo…" Sting spoke but then had nothing to say.
"It's okay Sting. It's not your fault. You all tried your best. I'm proud of both of you…. Auel told me to tell you guys that he'll miss you all."
"He… he… he said that?"
"Yes, he did."
"That… that stupid kid," said Sting in an annoyed voice but was really crying inside and holding back his tears.
"It's all right to cry, Sting," said Neo. Sting heard this and let his tears fall down his face. Neo gave him a pat on the back and reassured him that everything would be okay.
The special moment between Neo, Sting, and Stellar didn't last long when they all heard someone yell.
"We found a body! And is still alive!"
"What?" said Neo and they all went to where everyone was crowding.
When the arrived, there on the floor was indeed a body. It was pretty battered up with scratches, tears and an almost cracked helmet. Neo bent down towards it and thoroughly scanned the mysterious person.
The person's flight suit didn't match either ZAFT or EA Forces. It was reddish orange with a symbol on its arm that Neo couldn't make out.
"Where did you find this young soldier?"
"Sir! It was found on the shore of our boarders, sir!"
"Really?… Hmmm…"
After fully scanning the body and pondering in his thoughts, he ordered the crew to take the helmet off so they could see who it was.
One of the crewmembers volunteered to do it and he slowly took off the helmet with care, just in case if there was any injury on the head or neck. When he did take off the helmet, Neo gasped! But his shocked face quickly turned into a smirk.
"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" questioned Neo as he brushed the hair away from its face. "I guess he could finally follow out his plan now."
