Piracy
Chapter 15
December
Disclaimer- I don't own Gundam Seed/Destiny
An eight year old boy sat idly on a large rock that sat firmly on the shore of a large beach. Near by he could see ships docking and re-supplying. He smiled gently and tipped his head back as a gust of wind hit is face and pushing back his short brown hair.
Sighing the boy looked out at the sea fondly like that of someone who had been denied water for days and was now staring down into a well with crystal waters.
"Kira!" the voice of a woman called as she paced down the sandy shore towards the boy. Her red dress lifted off the ground so that the fabric wouldn't be ruined by the grains of sand.
Not looking at the young woman the young boy remained seated on the rock with his gaze fixated on the rock. Looking out towards the waters as well the woman sighed.
"Still day dreaming like always I see, aren't you?" the woman asked pushing her hair out of her eyes as it was picked up by the breeze as well.
Kira remained quite his gaze never wavering.
The woman laughed. "Just like your father. You gaze at the sea like it was your lady love. A heart of a sailor you have. Perhaps you will become a soldier one day and sail the sea doing good. Hmmm? Do your family name proud?" The woman asked a smile on her lips as she looked at the young child that was like a son to her.
Kira shook his head. "Not a soldier, a pirate." He said a smile of his own gracing his features.
The woman gasped and trudged over to stand in front of the young boy whom she guarded over. "You will not talk like that here. Do you want to be arrested of treason at the age of 8 for piracy?" She scolded while looking around to see if anyone was around and had heard the boy.
Looking at young woman Kira smiled brightly his childhood innocence shinning threw but also a glint of determination. "I'll be a pirate, just like my father. So he can be proud of me."
The woman frowned. "Nonsense you should live an honest life. One where you can have an honest living and live right, a life as a pirate will promise neither."
Kira frowned. "You're wrong Murrue. I'll have my own ship one day and I'll be the greatest pirate there ever was." Kira said his voice strong and determined.
Murrue stared at the child in awe. Kira never used her name unless he was serious or upset about something. Sighing she grabbed her charges arm and pulled him off the rock rather roughly. "I don't know what to do with you sometimes. Your head is filled with such ideas. What is it about being a pirate that has you so entranced?"
"You were a pirate. You tell me." Kira said looking up at the taller woman with big eyes.
Murrue looked away. She wouldn't answer that. "Come on you have chores to do." She said pulling Kira by the shirt.
As they made their way to the main path again Murrue turned to look at the young child whom she was left to care for. "You know woman on a ship are considered bad luck by many. How do you plan to fall in love with a girl if you spend all your time sailing?"
Kira made a face and stuck out his tongue. "I won't fall in love; the sea can be my lover… besides girls are gross."
Hitting the boy upside the head lightly Murrue laughed. "You'll change your mind someday."
Kira sighed at the memory. Even as child he wanted to become a pirate, though growing up knowing that he would be executed for the crime of piracy if ever caught. All the same Kira knew nothing more he wanted. To make his father proud though he barely knew him, everything he ever set out to do have happened only thing was one thing he never planned did happened. He fell in love…well almost.
He wasn't sure if he could call what he had with the pink haired girl love. Was it love, when you would do anything to protect someone?
He loved his sister with all is heart and would kill anyone and anything that dared to harm her. He loved Murrue like a mother and would protect and care for her if she needed him. He loved Athrun like a brother and would help him anyway he could. He loved his crew as loyal companions. But he never had a lover.
Not someone who he would want to spend the rest of his life with. Sex was not love and woman whom he had been with weren't of his concern. But Lacus was something else.
They did not know each other very long but he felt a connection with the girl and he was very grateful for Athrun bringing her aboard. Perhaps that's why he felt so guilty when he found her crying down below. At first he was furious that Cagalli and Lacus had gone behind his back and had started cursing and yelling at the poor girl. Shockingly though Lacus retaliated with some yelling of her own. She told him that she had snuck aboard because she wanted to be with him and that she had seen him and Meyrin kissing. Kira couldn't help but feel guilty. Not only for the kiss but for acting in such a way when he found her. She was obviously distressed and he had blown everything out of proportion. Now Lacus was ignoring him along with Cagalli.
"Kira are you ok?"
Kira turned to see Athrun approaching him a look of concern of his face.
"Sorry Athrun I was just caught up in my own thoughts." Kira said his voice plain and bored.
Athrun smiled slightly and rested against the side of the ship. "Lacus will come around. She doesn't seem the type to keep a grudge besides she did go behind your back it was natural for you to be upset."
Kira glared. "I don't need you to tell me that."
Athrun raised his hands in defense. "Sorry."
Kira sighed. "When will we arrive?"
Athrun laughed. "How long have you been out of it?"
Kira glared again.
Athrun stopped laughing. "Sorry. But we are here take a look."
Heading to the front of the ship both pirates looked out towards the water. "December, it seemed so much lager when we were young." Kira commented.
Athrun laughed slightly. "Well then again we were smaller back then."
Kira smiled but it faltered for a moment. "Does December trade this time of year?"
Athrun frowned in thought. "Not that I know of. The trading is usually all done by this time of year. Why do you ask?"
Kira frowned as he looked at the harbor. They were still to far away to see any ships very clearly let alone their colors (flags). "Decembers harbor isn't the largest they wouldn't have any unnecessary ships docked." Kira said.
Looking out Athrun noticed what Kira was talking about. A large ship could be seen from far away which was very strange. December was usually a very quiet place with the exception for the trading season.
"Get Mwu and bring me a telescope." Kira ordered and Athrun didn't need to be told twice.
December City
"Did you find anything out?" Luna asked as Rey approached her. They had been searching the city and asking civilians if they knew anything about the whereabouts of the Archangel they even offered a reward for any information.
Rey shook his head. "No I'm afraid not. No one seems to know anything or they're not willing to talk. All they seem to know is that the Archangel hasn't been here in several months."
Luna frowned she was growing inpatient. "Well remain here for a few more hours if nothing of importance is discovered we will leave." She was eager to have her revenge.
Rey nodded. "I'll repot to you in a few hours."
Luna nodded and Rey soon left. Leaving her alone again. Taking out her pistol from her belt she looks at the bronze metal of the weapon. It was polished to a shine and was loaded as she intended to keep it until she met up with the Archangels captain. "This shot's for you Kira Yamato." Luna growled before strapping the weapon back to her belt and entering a small clothing store to question the owner inside.
Archangel
Everyone was gathered around the front of the boat as Kira took the telescope that Athrun had brought him and looked out to the harbor.
Removing the extended telescope from his eye Kira pushed it back together. "It's a military ship, that's for sure." Kira announced and everyone either gasped or looked shocked.
"Is it armed?" Mwu asked.
Kira nodded and stepped down from the higher level. "It is heavily armed like it's going into battle."
"We should turn around!" Crewmember shouted and several others agreed.
Kira glared. "We need to stop in December."
"Why we are already fully supplied. Why do we need to stop?" Another crewmember shouted.
Kira turned to the crew and glared unsheathing is cutlass he took a step forward while all but a selective few took a step back. "We have two damaged cannons and December is the only place where we can get two more suitable ones. Yes we could go somewhere else but I personally don't want to go into battle with less than the best." Kira shouted annoyed with the crew. It was a well known fact that December was well known for their exceptional weaponry.
"But there are soldiers there! We'll all be arrested and hanged!" another shouted out and several groaned in agreement.
Kira felt his eye twitch. This batch of cowards was what he called a crew? Snarling he sheathed his cutlass. "You are nothing but cowards! If you are that afraid then when we land you can all leave this ship and not come back. You call yourselves pirates. We haven't even arrived and all ready you are fearing those soldiers." With that Kira spun on his heels and headed to the wheel where Dearka was steering.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Dearka asked with a raised eyebrow as his captain approached.
Kira sighed irritable. "Take us around that bend. We'll have to dock on the beach but the trees will hide the ship from the harbor."
Dearka still looked skeptical. "What about when they set sail. There is no guarantee that we will be gone by then."
Kira shrugged. "They will only be able to spot us when they reach open water for a fair ways. We will be quick its only two cannons. Plus from the look of the ship it is belt for power not speed."
Dearka nodded and turned the ship.
Cagalli who had been amongst the crowd approached her brother. "So who is going to shore?"
Kira looked at her and gave a smirk. "Talking to me again?"
Cagalli glared. "Shut up. I just want to know how you plan to pull this off."
Kira nodded and decided not to tease her further. "Me, Athrun, Mwu, Shinn and you will. Dearka I will leave you and Stellar in charge."
Dearka nodded and a few minutes later the ship entered the shallow waters and a few men jumped out to help pull the ship to shore. Tying the ship to a few trees just to make sure the waves didn't carry it away Kira, Athrun, Mwu, Shinn and Cagalli got off and walked threw the water to the shore.
"Make sure to keep a look out for any soldiers you never know if any scouts have been searching the island." Kira said as they made there way towards the thick forest.
"Don't' worry captain Stellar and Dearka will take care of things!" Stellar shouted from the ship and waved at them as they left.
Kira chuckled slightly while Cagalli rolled her eyes at the girls' enthusiastic waves.
"Can we go now?" Mwu asked waiting impatiently at the edge of where the forest met the beach.
Nodding everyone unsheathed their cutlass and began cutting there way threw the bush.
December Harbor
"Did you see that?" A low class soldier who was on guard with another asked as he looked out towards the water.
The other low class soldier looked out at the water and then at her partner like he had gone crazy. "I think you have been in the sun to long. You're starting to become delusional."
The young soldier frowned. "I'm not delusional I swear I saw something disappear around that bend!"
The girl gave him a skeptical look. "Really what did it look like?"
The boy looked away a bit embarrassed. "I don't know I only caught a glimpse of it."
The girls sighed placing a hand on her head while her free hand held her gun. "It is probably nothing. Most likely a mirage from the sun."
The boy looked at her again his embarrassment residing. "Still we should tell someone. You never know."
The girl frowned but then shrugged. "Alright if it will make you feel any better."
Forest just out side of December City
As they cut their way threw Cagalli started to ask questions. "How exactly to you plan on us getting two cannons back to the ship? We can very well carry them and even if we did we could only take one at a time and we don't have time for that."
Kira shrugged and look at his sister with a calm expression. "I'll worry about that when the time comes."
Cagalli was shocked. "You irresponsible, little..." She was cut off by a hand closing over her mouth.
Athrun gave her a stern look that said 'your already on thin ice from before don't push it'.
Cagalli huffed as Athruns hand was removed only to receive a smirk from her brother.
As the continued cutting their way threw a long but narrow path was starting to form. About twenty minutes later they arrived at the edge of the forest and pushed their way to the street of the town. Luckily it was behind several building so no one saw them emerging from the forest.
"Alright let's do this quickly. We are bound to draw attention to ourselves sooner or later epically if there are soldiers lurking about." Kira said referring to their way of dress. Most would ignore them but sooner or later someone with a sharp eye would figure it out.
All nodding quickly made their way into the city to get what the needed.
December Harbor
"So you're saying that you saw something, go around the bend but you have no idea of what it looks like?" An older man with a balding head asked the young soldier a grey eyebrow raised in annoyance.
"Yes sir. I only managed to catch a glimpse of it, but I am sure I saw something!"
Sighing the higher ranking soldier looked at the two in irritation. "It is probably nothing; all the same I want you two to check it out. Head over there and survey the area."
The two soldiers took a step back in surprise and looked at each other before looking back at their superior officer. "Us? You want us to check it out?" Both sputtered.
The man nodded. "You two being the ones how spotted it so I don't want any argument. Go scout out the area and then report back."
"What if we run into something?" the female asked nervously.
The man glared. "That's what your guns are for." He said dryly.
The two looked at each other before sighing.
"Well I guess we better get going."
"Yeah."
Weapons Shop
As the five pirates headed towards the back of the shop they lightly stepped over the dead shop owner that had just recently been shot in the head.
"Did you really have to kill him Mwu?" Shinn asked as he stared at the body for a moment.
Mwu who was re-loading his pistol quickly shrugged. "Well did you really want him yelling for help while we stole two of his cannons? After all we didn't bring any money to pay for our needs. Couldn't risk letting the towns people being warned that pirates where scurrying about."
Athrun who was inspecting the two black cannons near the back of the shop walked over to them a frown on his face. "No you warned them enough with that gun shot. Any minute now someone will come to investigate." Athrun said his voice unimpressed.
Shinn and Cagalli glared at Mwu while the blond only smiled apologetically.
Shinn walked over to the window and ducked slightly underneath it so that he could look outside but remain hidden from the people.
Kira who was still in the back pulled back the small fabric curtain that separated the two parts of the store and stuck his head out. "Come on I can't lift these things myself. Get back here and help me."
Athrun and the two blondes were about to join their captain when Shinn shouted out alarmed. "Someone is coming!"
In panic everyone looked at Kira who had an erg to roll his eyes but refrained from doing so. Instead he looked around franticly before spotting a woman's robe hanging on a hook near Cagalli. A plan forming Kira pointed at the piece of clothing. "Cagalli put on that robe and pose as a hired help. Shinn get back here with us and Cagalli make sure they don't come back here." Kira ordered his voice slightly hushed.
No one needed to be told a second time and Cagalli remove her hair from its ponytail and shook it out and then wrapped the robe around herself. Shinn ran over and went into the back room with the others not before pulling the dead man behind the counter while Cagalli threw a small piece of fabric on the floor to over the blood.
No sooner than everyone was prepared a soldier dressed in red with blonde hair entered the shop.
Cagalli put on her sweetest smile and greeted him. "Hello and welcome, can I help you?"
The soldier looked around the fair sized shop before looking back at Cagalli. "The towns' people say they have heard a gun shot from this shop. I as well have heard the sound" He said in calm voice.
Cagalli laughed as her eyes searched for an excuse as luck would have it a pistol was near by and she snatched it and held it up for the soldier to see. "I was putting some guns on display and I forgot that one of them was loaded and it went off. I'm still new at this job." Cagalli said faking embarrassment.
The soldier raised and eyebrow at the young woman. "What is your name?"
Cagalli looked at him for a second her faked embarrassment disappearing from her face as she said the first name that came to her head. "Stellar."
In the back Kira and the others slapped their foreheads in disbelief.
Smiling Cagalli tried to remain casual after her slip up. "And you my good sir?"
The soldier remained calm and un-nerved. "Rey."
Cagalli grinned coyly. "Well Master Rey I'm sorry to tell you that it was a false alarm."
Rey looked at the girl trying to see if she would crack under his gaze. Her story didn't add up. If a gun had just went off randomly like she said then why there isn't a hole in the wall or anything broken. Surely the bullet did not go threw an open window or open door. "Is that so?"
Cagalli nodded keeping her sweet, innocent face while inside she was growling in annoyance. What was it going to take to get this soldier to leave?
"Where is the owner of the shop?" Rey asked looking around again for any evidence to prove the girls story, or better yet to contradict it.
Cagalli frowned momentarily before smiling again. "He has left for a few days and has left me in charge. Though as you can tell, it might not have been the best decision." Cagalli said laughing gently.
Rey looked at her curiously before sighing. "Well since no one was hurt I guess I'll leave you for now." Rey said looking at her one last time before heading for the door. "Have a good day ma'am" With that the soldier left closing the wooden door behind him.
Cagalli sighed with relief before running to the back of the store.
"That was close." Was the first thing Mwu said as she pulled the curtain back.
Cagalli glared at them before looking at the other three. "So how are we going to get them out?" She asked pointing at the two cannons.
Kira smirked. "Well push them out. We found some carts back here and put the cannons on them. Though we could just push the cannons themselves it will be easier with the carts, plus it will do lest damage to the cannons themselves." Kira explained.
Cagalli looked beside her brother and saw two cannons strapped to two carts with rope making sure that they didn't slide off.
Smirking Cagalli looked back at her brother. "Maybe you aren't as dumb as I thought but you are still irresponsible."
Kira rolled his eyes. "That's what I strive for glad to see someone noticed."
Before Cagalli could come out with a comeback of her own Athrun spoke first. "I hate to interrupt this brotherly, sisterly, moment but I suggest we leave. That soldier is bond to ask were the owner is by one of the towns people and once he figures out Cagalli was telling a lie he'll be back and probably not alone."
All nodding they grabbed two white sheets and threw them over the cannons just incase they were spotted, so no one could tell what they were doing.
Forest
"Are you sure you saw something?" The female soldier grumbled as she and her companion cut their way threw the thick forest.
The boy frowned. "For the last time YES!"
The girl huffed. "Sorry."
"What is that up a head?" the boy asked in a hushed voice. The girl who were a few steps behind looked over the others shoulder.
"I don't know" The girl said her voice also just above a whisper.
Ahead they could see two blurs of white and something else.
Not talking anymore the boy motioned for the girl to follow both their guns raised. They quickly and as silently as they could, headed towards the blurs. Unfortunately just as they just about reached them the girl tripped and fell forwards against the boy and both went tumbling out of the brush and onto a man made path.
Archangel
"What is taking so long?" Stellar whined as she was growing even more impatient with every passing minute.
Dearka laughed. "I know how you feel but just wait a little longer."
Stellar frowned. "But Stellar is bored!"
Dearka sighed. "Well then find a way to entertain yourself."
Stellar looked around before jumping up to stand on the rail she had been sitting and with grace that not many knew she possessed started twirling and spinning while humming a soft tune.
Dearka sighed yet again. "Simple things amuse simple minds."
Forest
The five pirates who had been pushing the two carts, Kira and Athrun pushing one while Mwu, Shinn and Cagalli pushed the other turned to look behind themselves. There lying not more than a few feet away from them was two young soldier obviously lower ranking judging from their uniforms.
As the two scrambled to get up they turned to look at the five pirates looking at them with a confused expression. Finally getting themselves together they aimed their guns.
"Don't move." Both said in union.
Still perplexed the pirates looked at each other, then at the two others, then at each other again.
Athrun gave Kira weird look and Kira shrugged. Finally they all turned to look at the two soldiers again.
A long silence followed until Shinn spoke up.
"You have got to be kidding me."
Back at the shop
As Athrun predicted Rey has asked around and everyone had told him that the owner should still be there and that as far as they knew he was the only one working.
Rey had arrived back at the shop with two other men only to find the place deserted with the shop owner shot in the head and lying behind a counter, a small piece of fabric hiding blood that had stained the floor and in the back was the robe the woman he had seen wearing thrown over a work bench.
Frowned Rey ordered. "Search the city."
Forest
A long silence followed until Shinn spoke up.
"You have got to be kidding me."
The soldiers looked nervous at the pirates stared at them. Though unmoving they did not looked worried that two soldiers where pointing their guns at them.
"What are you doing?" The boy asked looking at the carts covered in white sheets.
Kira smiled and took a step forward creating a barrier between him and the carts with his hands held up to show he was unarmed for the moment while the others went to the sides prepared to jump out if necessary.
The girl looked at Kira and spotted his cutlass strapped to his belt along with his pistol. "Remove your weapons!" She ordered.
Kira frowned lowering his hands debating wither or not to pull his pistol or not. He could hit anyone of them easily but the sound of the gun would create unwanted attention.
An idea forming Kira smiled. "Now, now is all this really necessary. I mean first we are innocently walking threw the woods and then you two decide to hold us at gun point."
Both soldiers looked at each other. "What exactly are you doing in the forest?"
Kira thought for a second before thinking up a lie. "Gathering wood, prices are too high so we thought about collecting our own."
"What's all the wood for?" The boy asked eyeing the carts it seemed possible as he couldn't see what was inside it.
Athrun deciding to help out called out. "A boat, we are building a boat."
The two soldiers looked at each other. "Maybe that's what you saw go around the bend?" The girl said looking confused.
Kira having heard them decided to use this to their advantage. "Yes, we have been doing some test runs."
Lowering their guns slightly. "Well we will need to report this to our commander. Besides undocked boats must be at least registered."
Kira frowned. "Sorry lad and lass I can't let you do that." As Kira said this he removed his pistol.
Both looked surprise and were about to fire their own weapons. Kira and the boy fired first. Kira managed to easily dodge the poorly aimed shot by ducking his head down slightly as the bullet hit a tree behind him sending wood chips flying. Kiras bullet hit its mark though and the girl watched shocked as her companion slumped to the ground.
Breathing heavily the girl stared at the now dead body of her friend. Looking up she saw that the others had drown their weapons as well ready to fight while Kira smiled sweetly at her looking almost innocent like he hadn't just killed a man.
Fear in her eyes she stammered as she took several steps back. "You, you killed him."
Kira shrugged lowering his gun. "That's what pirates do love."
Upon hearing that the girl spun on her heels and ran while dropping her gun.
Athrun ran over to Kira. "Shouldn't we go after her? She'll warn the others."
Kira shook his head. "We don't have time for that. We are almost to the ship anyways. Let's go."
Nodding they went back to pushing.
Back at the shop
Luna frowned as she looked around the now deserted shop. Everyone was now searching the city for a blonde girl by the name of 'Stellar'. Looking around she glared angrily at the blood stains on the floor from where the body once lay.
This was taking up to much time. This girl was probably just a common thief who had killed the shop owner for money.
"This is ridiculous we have bigger things to worry about than some shops keep killer." Luna said bitterly while rolling her eyes.
Walking into the back she looked around nothing appeared to be stolen. No tables turned over any open drawers. Then again she had never been in this shop before. Looking around she sighed and decided to leave. There was nothing here.
While on her way out she looked down and notices something sticking to the bottom of her boot. Pulling it off her inspected the paper. It was brownish yellow with aging and in ink there was a map of an island. As far as she knew this island was unmapped on anything she had ever seen judging from the coronets that is. Looking at the side of the paper her eyes widened before glaring.
In black ink in the left hand corner of the paper was a symbol. One she knew very well. After all it was burned into her memory. It was the same symbol she had seen on the flag of the Coordinator the legendary Captain Ulens ship. However Ulen was dead and the crew had dispersed with the sinking of the Coordinator. So who else would have this map?
Thinking it finally clicked. "Kira Yamato."
It made since now Kira must have been here and that blonde woman was a diversion for Rey and most likely a member of his crew.
Smiling she folded the map and placed it in her jacket. "You should really learn to be less irresponsible Kira Yamato. It will be your down fall."
Shore near the Archangel
"We made it!" Mwu shouted out for all to here.
Everyone looked at Mwu for a moment before turning their attention to the cannons.
"We'll have to carry them from here. The carts won't work in the sand." Kira said and took off the sheets and started to untie the cannons.
Once the cannons where untied several crew members came to help bring them to the ship.
As they started heading towards the ship Athrun spoke up. "How long do you think it will be before they-damn!" Athrun shouted as something wisped threw the air and nicked him on the ear. The sound of a gun shot along with it.
Everyone turned to see a fairly large group of soldiers emerging from the forest and charging at them in perfect military formation.
Kira reacted quick and shouted for everyone to intercept them and make sure that those with the cannons got to the ship.
A range of gun shots from the soldiers who where in a straight line fired one after the other. Cagalli of course was ready like always and had drawn her pistol ready to fire she was probably the best shot on the Archangel, and if not only second to Athrun.
Kira had his cutlass drawn and was ready also. He was good with a gun but it wasn't his specialty like Athrun and Cagalli. Kira rushed forward to attach a blonde man in a red uniform he seemed to be the one or one of the ones in charge as he was shouting out orders.
The sand being picked up as he ran Kira closed the distance between them. The blonde noticing Kira coming blocked the attack with his own cutlass the blades clashing loudly and the blonde ordering for everyone to stay in formation.
Easily pushing the other back Kira tried another swift attack. He just needed to distract him so that the cannons could get aboard the ship. The blonde quickly recovered from being pushed and blocked just barely.
Shinn and Mwu were altering near by from shooting and sword fighting, depending on who got in their way.
Athrun and Cagalli were a little further back acting as a shield almost for the crewmembers carrying the cannons also to cover Kira if needed. They managed to take a few soldiers out by now but where struggling as the soldiers got in tighter formations.
Kira and Rey were in a proper stance now circling each other and waiting for an opportunity. "Why did you attack us?" Kira asked with a small smile as he continued to watch the other.
Rey frowned. "I saw the ships flag. This is the Archangel and you I am guessing are the legendary Captain Kira." Rey said is voice emotionless.
Kira did a little bow to mock Rey. "Guilty as charge, but might I ask how you knew. We haven't met before have we?" Kira asked in a thoughtful manor and looked Rey over as if trying to remember him.
Rey scuffed slightly. "You sword skills are as legendary as you name…and no we haven't met before."
Kira stopped suddenly and made a clicking noise with his tongue. "Really that's too bad." With that Kira charged and swung at Rey the blade clashing with Reys as the blonde managed to block the strike inches away from his face. They clashed swords again both keeping form and footwork.
Kira smiled as he pushed Rey back again. "You're very good." Kira complemented.
Rey who was breathing slightly hard from the fast and powerful strikes smirked. "Thank you, you're not too bad yourself."
Kira smiled as if in gratitude before striking again fast and stronger. Rey went to block but the force knocked his sword from his hands and he watched it land in the sand near by, when he turned to look at the pirate again he found a sword placed centimeters from his throat.
"Sorry, but you need to work on your footwork a little lad." Kira said nonchalantly.
Rey growled but was silenced by a foot kicking his chest and the impact sending him backwards to the ground.
Kira looked at the other for a moment before looking at his ship and smiling. They were ready to go.
"Well my good soldier today is the day you will always remember as the day you crossed swords with Captain Kira Yamato." (A/N I stole that from Pirates of the Caribbean and Jack Sparrow it's my favorite line) With that Kira ran for the ship.
On the Archangel they were beginning to cast off with the exception of Kira who was running back and Athrun and Cagalli who were covering him from the shots of the remaining soldiers. Others on the ship where also helping out by cover the three as well.
When Kira made it to them the three pirates turned around and fled for the ship grapping the ropes at the side and climbing up just barely missing a few well aimed shots before hopping over the rail and onto the ship.
On the shore the remaining soldier watched helplessly as the ship quickly made its departure. Rey who had finally pulled himself together and glared at the ship as it sailed away.
"Go to the ship we might be still have a chance at catching them." Rey ordered and they left taking as many dead bodies with them.
Rey sighed heavily and rubbed his chest that was still sore from where the captain of the Archangel had kicked him. It would soon turn into a bruise that was for sure. However that was the least of his worry.
"Luna isn't going to be happy."
A/N: Wow that took awhile. This has to be one of the longest chapters I have ever done! Sorry for not updating these past few weeks I was kidnapped by my super hyper friends who I swear must have smuggled something back from the states as they have been off the wall lately and unfortunately dragging me around everywhere they go. Plus I went to my friends aunts Wicca wedding. It was interesting to say the least.
Anyways I'm sure you're not interested in that.
Sorry to all who wanted Lacus to be in this chapter I cut her out the last second. Truth be told there was suppose to be a whole other scene but I left it out in favor for the next chapter.
Plus my best friend Angie pointed out that the two lower ranking guards reminded her of the two guards from Pirates of the Caribbean. Do they? Meh it wasn't planned so don't sue!
Reviews are nice and be kind I spent a lot of time on this chapter!
