Chapter Five

No Remorse

Military Base Surface

Mobile Suit Team

The squad leader was still at his position with his back turned from the hanger which the Armageddon would rise from. He looked at the situation as all suits that were standing were destroyed and unfortunately to them many people lost their lives when they fired the beam rifles into the fleeing crowd, the remaining people all got in doors by now, but the damage was done, the squad leader saw a few shots fired at the battleship but none were meant to do much harm as the leader decided it was time they retreated before the chairman called in reinforcements from another Plant and they wanted to be clear of Zaft space before then. The squad leader was pleased that the council was still safe so their mission was a complete success.

A few units were starting to join around him as there were only five that were still on the opposite side of the ship supposed to be clearing away the Orb personal. The squad leaders mobile suit looked at the four that were gathered around him and with the mobile suits hand he signaled them to follow him back to their entry point so they could head out in victory. When they started heading to their entry point that was when Kira made his move towards his mobile suit.

They arrived towards their entry point and waited for the others but what they saw next shocked them.

Other side of the ship

As soon as Kira got to his machine, he went up the lift and climbed into the cockpit where he hadn't been in four years Kira started up the machine but as he did memories flew back inside his head as he prepared the machines functions. It was the same thing he saw in his flashbacks, Kira quickly fumbled with his pill bottle allowing some to spill out as he shoved a few into his mouth, as he shut his eyes he cleared he was able to calm back down physically, but now mentally all he felt was hate and would soon take that out on his prey.

Outside the machine the council still watched as they were waiting for someone to save them, when the mobile suits went away they felt a little more at ease, but many decided this was the chance to see just what Kira was made of. Sarah watched still in fear as this would be the first time she ever saw Kira in a mobile suit.

Near the Minerva Kira's unit watched as many couldn't believe all this was happening, but as Shinn looked on all he wanted was for Kira to look like a complete fool, Shinn who was still in pain ignored the comments from his friends to get inside as they now stayed with him to watch their new commander.

Inside the machine Kira's eyes were now the eyes of a bloodthirsty beast that found some prey. Kira opened his eyes slightly as he looked at all the systems as the OS was already set up since he did it when the machine was completed, Kira now focused all of his anger as he once again shut his eyes, Kira wanted badly to test out the full power of his machine, but he knew he couldn't fire around in here with the council watching so he would have to limit his attacks to his beam sabers, but such was fine with him, that way he could assure their full demise.

Kira now focused harder on his hate as all he blamed came to his mind, his eyes were still shut but as soon as all that hatred built up something inside of him exploded and as soon as he opened his eyes the demonic beast was finally released from its chains.

Outside the people watched as the mobile suits eyes flashed a reddish black color as the Armageddon was finally brought to life.

Split up Mobile suit Team

The five still on this side new they missed their chance to take out the Orb personal, but trying for it would hit the chairman and those were not the orders, they knew they failed that part as the other three now were nearing them to join back up for their retreat but as soon as they were near they heard a very large noise as their sensors picked up something right behind them, all five suits turned to the direction as the gold, silver and black beast was now fully armored.

"What in the world is that," one asked himself since they couldn't break radio silence.

These guys had no clue that this was going to happen, and now they were be stared down by a much more intimidating looking machine.

"Must be one of the chairman's reinforcements," another said to himself, as the suits started getting into a defensive stance, but what happened next as soon as the eyes flashed their reddish black their didn't even see it coming.

With Kira

Kira's eyes were fully opened as he saw the five machines in front of him, and with his demonic gaze he slightly smiled as he placed his hands on the controls and his feet on the pedals, Kira now smiled as it was time to hunt.

The council watched as the machine didn't waste any time as it immediately charged straight at the first two machines; the wing span on the back opened a little as the thrusters were incredibly fast.

Kira knew he couldn't use a lot of his weapons so as soon as he charged he immediately removed his two beam sabers clamping them into the other two on the waste as he pulled them out activating two double beam swords with a total of four beams.

The Armageddon twirled the beam sabers once in the hands as he spun around heading straight for the machines.

The pilots were in shock as they quickly turned to aim their beam rifles but it was too late.

"What is that…," the first said as those were his last words in agony and panic.

"It's fast…" the second one said his final words in agony.

The Armageddon went right in-between the two slashing both suits in half, but Kira wasn't finished as soon as the body frames were cut from the legs, Kira twirled the double sabers again as he stabbed backwards straight into both of the cockpits of the two earth forces daggers making the two of them explode but with the distance they didn't cause to much damage.

Kira's expression didn't change, he felt absolutely no remorse and by stabbing through the cockpits it didn't bother him at all. Kira now kept his murderous gaze on the remaining three as they were in shock but they had their weapons drawn as Kira smiled and decided to test his new armor out.

Near the scene

The council watched in amazement at this new machines speed, and the skills, they just couldn't believe it, it took extremely good accuracy to cut a mobile suit in half without sending it into immediate explosion and then Kira stabbed backwards going straight into their cockpits they were starting to see just why the chairman placed faith in him.

Sarah watched with horror at the battle, but it was something else, she knew Kira a lot better and could tell that last act wasn't to make sure they were finished, she knew he did it because he hungered for it, she only hoped that he would make it out alive, but she knew once he did things would be a lot worse.

Kira's team by the Minerva were absolutely astonished at that move and the speed of the mobile suit, but what really got him was the accuracy and precision it took to make a move like that, Shinn was feeling very angry and despiteful, but apart of him was also in envy and fear, he envied what Kira could do, but he also feared his presence, but Shinn would never admit that and his hatred of Kira only grew stronger.

The squad leader and his team were waiting for the other five when they heard the explosions, and the squad leader and the rest turned to the direction and as soon as they got in view they saw just what did it, but that was when another tragedy in their team struck.

Main Building

Command Center

Ryu had a live feed as he watched the opening act and he had a slight smile the entire way, Ryu wondered if Kira would be rusty after four years of no battle, but that was not the case at all and he could tell by that last act he seemed even stronger then the images he watched of Kira in the past, and this was perfect.

Ryu had in his communicator a way to contact Kira in the Armageddon but decided to let him finish a few more before he ordered Kira to let the others escape.

The technicians and soldiers inside were busy feeding information down to the bunker where the chairman was placed and as Ryu brought the image up he saw something that shouldn't be there and that was the Orb personal.

"Those idiots failed…no matter we will handle that later," Ryu told himself as he saw all other images and the storage dock was completely destroyed meaning all people that would question him were gone all except a few he saw on the live images to the bunker, as he saw Yzak and Dearka, "If you want something done I guess you have to do it yourself, that can be worked out," Ryu said as he had an idea of just how to finish them off, but before that he would have to finish this off as he brought his attention back to the main screen where Kira once again made his devilish attacks.

Bunker

As soon as Gil arrived down below he immediately went to his open command control center as the images from outside were brought to the screen.

Cagalli and Lacus were left near the elevator as the staff was running around like crazy to give Gil a status reports.

Athrun, Yzak and Dearka were watching the chairman as they could see into the room and as they did they saw an image of something they never seen before as it was the Armageddon powering up.

Cagalli and Lacus who were a bit closer looked straight at the machine as Gil seemed very interested in it.

"What is that?" Athrun asked.

Yzak looked at him, "I don't know…I have no clue," Yzak said as this was something new.

Dearka watched with interested as something on the back of that machine caught his attention, it looked like a smaller version of his old gun launcher from the old Buster.

Gil who was watching the screen watched as did the rest as Kira made his move and destroyed the first two machines.

All eyes in the room were astonished at the speed and preciseness of that machine.

"Who's piloting it?" Athrun asked in interested as whoever it was had to be good.

Yzak looked at him, "I don't have a clue," Yzak said as it seemed that there was a lot he didn't know about in Zaft anymore.

Gil saw Cagalli and the rest looking at him as he motioned them over to him.

All approached as Lacus kept her eyes on that machine, the body frame really remaindered her of the freedom and for some reason she couldn't take her mind off it.

Gil was about to talk when the Armageddon moved again.

Battlefield near the Minerva

Kira looked at the three other machines as they were ready to fire and Kira could almost sense their fear as he immediately shut off one of the beams on both double sabers as he immediately clamped all four together now making a very long beam spear. Kira reactivated two longer beams one from each end as he held the spear in the middle in his defensive stance but only because he wanted to be fired at.

One Strike dagger who was still a little stunned finally snapped out of it as he fired a shot straight at Kira.

Inside Kira only smirked as he deactivated the beams and stood straight up not looking to block the shot at all.

The council and all others thought he was crazy, but they were once again surprised.

The beam approached Kira very fast but all Kira did was smile.

The pilot thought he got him, but in an instant as the beam came in contact with the Armageddon's armor the beam was heading straight back at him, it didn't turn around or even curve, the beam just went straight back at him.

The pilot couldn't believe it but he had better reflexes then the others as he moved a little and the beam connected with his rifle blowing it up.

Kira knew that the ultra phase armor he developed now worked just like he thought it would; Kira immediately returned all his beam sabers into their waste holders as he quickly jumped into the air.

The three pilots were so stunned at what they saw and that combined with the quickness of his movements they stood little to no chance.

Kira actually did this action for one reason and that was he saw the other five now peering around the corner, as soon as Kira was in the air the Armageddon's wings expanded fully out as it stopped mid air as Kira used both hands and quickly removed both beam boomerangs from their built in shoulder holsters, Kira felt his anger rise again as he threw both boomerangs straight at the other two still in that area, he wanted to save the one that shot at him for last.

As soon as Kira threw the boomerangs he quickly accelerated back downward towards them.

The daggers saw him go up as the two remaining aimed their weapons into the air and started to now fire randomly into the Plant's sky.

They fired until they saw him coming straight at them from the front,

"What a foolish move," one said to himself.

The other slightly laughed, "I guess the machine was just all for show," the other one said to himself as they took aim, but it was far too late.

Kira saw them aiming at him, "Worthless fools, you were never worthy for fight for our cause if you can't see that," Kira said angrily to himself as the boomerangs were approaching the suits from behind.

The two took aim as the beam boomerangs came in from behind.

They were about to fire when they picked up a heat source approaching, they quickly looked at their radar but it was far too late as all that happened was their final screams.

The boomerangs reached both suits and as soon as they connected the beams reached out in several directions shredding the two suits into nothing until they blew up.

The boomerangs kept heading back and automatically went back into the shoulders of the Armageddon, as Kira was now finally advancing on the final one in this group, and he had a special for him.

The five others saw the explosions as the squad leader was about to break radio silence to give orders, but it was too late for the final one.

The one with no rifle immediately pulled out the saber from the dagger as he heard the other two explode, and now the Armageddon was nearly right in front of him.

The last man let out a war cry as he charged straight for the charging enemy suit.

Kira's anger was it it's peak as he always imaged these were the people that gave him his pain, Kira accelerated extremely fast as he pulled out a single beam saber.

The Strike Dagger kept charging, "You monster!" the pilot shouted as he swung his sword at the Armageddon only to have Kira flip backwards and recharge the dagger with it in a defenseless spot.

The pilot didn't even have time to see that Kira immediately cut right throw the cockpit of the dagger destroying it immediately.

As soon as Kira swiped through the cockpit all you could see on his face was the emptiness of his soul, he showed no emotion and no remorse for destroying forces that were helping him and Ryu achieve their goal, but Kira's pain and need for revenge wasn't dropped here, after each suit he destroyed it only grew, the beast was not yet satisfied.

Kira had to break out of his gaze immediately as he made a small mistake, he destroyed the Strike dagger to close to the council's position and as it blew up debris was flying straight at them.

Though Kira had the other five machines in his sights he had to abandon his attacks to make sure the council stayed alive, Kira quickly returned the beam saber to his position and accelerated the Armageddon towards the council.

The speed of this machine was incredible as it was able to reach the council before the debris could connect.

The council was beyond relieved when the final dagger they saw blew up, but as it did the debris was heading straight for them, they cowered in their position and waited for the impact but it never came as Kira got in front of it and knelt down allowing the Armageddon to take the hits of debris, the debris was nothing to do any damage as the armor was unbelievable and it didn't even scratch it.

The council and their families that were with them saw that Kira saved them from the debris as others were very impressed with his piloting skills, the speed Kira used to get to the debris would put tremendous strain on the body and Kira did feel it, but he was far more toned then ordinary coordinators so he could handle this better.

The squad leader of the final five machines saw what happened and was smart enough to realize that he was no match for such a machine with five ordinary earth forces models.

The squad leader saw that Kira had to abandon his spot to save the council and then decided that they could use this to leave. The squad leader's machine looked at the other five that were in shock as he motioned them to follow him as they made their way back to their entry point and started heading back down, they didn't want anything to do with that monster of a machine.

Kira waited and saw the other five starting to head out and all he wanted was to pursue, his thirst for combat had not yet been quenched, his head was killing him again and that only fueled his anger.

The council looked up at Kira with amazement and appreciation, Sarah was relieved that he was alive and unharmed, however Kira once again rose his feet as the Armageddon's eyes flashed once more, Kira wanted to pursue, but he then finally got a call from Ryu.

"Halt your attack commander," Ryu said as Kira immediately stopped.

Around the area

Shinn and Kira's new team watched in utter amazement, his speed and skill were unbelievable, and all Shinn felt was even more jealous towards Kira.

"That was sweet," Vino said with amazement.

"I'll say, I hope we get a chance to look at that machine," Youlan said as they were eager to see just what made that machine work.

Luna looked on in amazement, sure the commander was cold and heartless but seeing this it also made him a hero, as he saved the council's life, Luna had to admit she was starting to like the idea of him being their commander.

Rey watched in defeat as he was starting to understand just how Rau fell to Kira all those years ago, Kira wasn't in a suit for four years and he could still make moves like that, Rey knew he would have to come up with something else.

Shinn felt his anger explode, not only did Kira make him look like a fool, but now he was a savoir to high ranking members in Zaft, all he could think about was for the chance to face Kira down in a battle, he had to get his pride back, Shinn wanted nothing more then to make Kira pay for destroying the only reminder he had of his sister, but the poor kid just didn't have the skill, that wouldn't stop him as he was doing what Kira hoped and let the anger cloud his judgments.

Main Building

Upstairs command center

Ryu watched the entire thing with confidence, and after the last machine blew up he saw Kira save the council which only made their cause a lot easier to obtain now.

Ryu however decided that it was now time to quickly contact Gil and then get back to Kira on the orders he knew Gil would give.

Ryu ordered the remaining suits to be found as they made their way down their shaft and he knew that would keep the team inside here busy so he could make his new orders to Kira, Ryu made the call for Kira to stop so he could get word to Gil and Kira immediately stopped.

Ryu walked over towards the bunker monitor as he now made contact with Gil.

Bunker

Gil and the others watched with absolute amazement, the skill and speed of that pilot and machine were of course top notch.

Cagalli was next to Gil and Lacus was that far behind them, Cagalli watched as the skill of that pilot was tremendous. Lacus stared at that suit again as she was getting the same feeling again, a feeling like something that was lost was very near.

Athrun who was with Yzak and Dearka saw that entire battle, but he couldn't help but feel some sort of déjà vu. That last attack was very similar to something, he had seen that move before, the final saber attack was a very skillful move that he had seen, Yzak knew he saw that move before to as that attack was done to him at the battle for Josh-a when the freedom cut off his legs sparing his life.

They were thinking hard as that move was very similar.

"Do you know who that pilot is?" Athrun asked as this was bugging him, after four years of not fighting he still remembered that move.

Yzak looked at him, "I told you I didn't know," Yzak said as they were broken from their chain of thought as Gil seemed to notice all staring at that suit and he decided since the he saw the council safe he had the monitor switched off.

All blinked as the monitor was shut off as Gil was about to address them when he got a call.

"Go ahead Ryu," Gil said as the others heard that name, it was the name of the vice chairman but in all their dealings they never dealt with him.

"Sir, I hope you are pleased with the results," Ryu said.

Gil slightly smiled, "I am, I take it that the council is safe."

"Very much so sir, however the five remaining machines escaped," Ryu said.

"How did they even get in, in the first place?" Gil asked.

Ryu smiled, "They came in through the supply dock, unfortunately they destroyed all ships and many personal perished…it seems like they knew where to head sir."

Gil didn't like the sound of that, that seemed like a spy was in his ranks, "They had to of had a ship out their somewhere, those machines couldn't get this far into space alone…many people died here today and I have to get the confidence back from the people, I am launching the Minerva to pursue them, have commander Hibiki board and head out with them, I want those machines and however else is out their destroyed."

Ryu smiled, Gil was so predictable, "I will give the orders to him now sir." Ryu said as he signed off.

Gil quickly picked up another line as he contacted the Minerva and in the bridge he got a hold of Talia who was trying to power the ship up.

Talia saw him come on, "Yes sir."

Gil looked at her, "It's time to put the Minerva into action, finish the preparations and head after the remaining suits, they have to have a ship out their somewhere."

"We have no mobile suits sir, the rest were destroyed in their attack," Talia said.

Gil looked at her, "Commander Hibiki should be all you need, he will board and you will head out immediately, we have to show our people that the Minerva will defend them."

Talia saluted, "Yes sir."

Gil looked at her, "One last thing, do not stray out of Zaft territory, we cannot afford being ambushed when our ship is not fully tested yet."

Talia saluted again, "We will head out immediately sir," Talia said as the crew was starting to work faster.

Gil sighed off as he placed his hands on top of his head.

The rest in the room especially Lacus heard the name Commander Hibiki and all never heard of that name before in Zaft.

Hibiki was a pretty common name so it didn't occur to them that was Kira and Cagalli's real last name.

Cagalli was completely in shock at all of this had happened; she heard the name but didn't process it.

Gil continued to get status reports as he was told the earth forces models fired into the crowds, the others in the room were horrified at that as they were only civilians.

Gil looked at Cagalli, "As you can see representative, this is why I had all my weapons built, I am sorry all of you were caught up in this, but I have to ask all remain here until the situation is cleared," Gil said as he excused himself so he could run the military option.

Cagalli understood as she sat right down next to Lacus as they couldn't believe that all of this was starting up again.

Gil knew that with the cameras there people in other Plants were now aware, and he put all the military on alert as he wanted the Minerva to take charge.

Gil ordered the council be brought in for their safety and Gil knew it was up to the Minerva now.

Outside near the Minerva

Kira was waiting as Ryu finally came back on in a secured line, "Well done Kira, the fool gave the orders, board the Minerva and finish the rest off."

Kira showed no emotion, "As you wish sir, I will not fail you."

"I know you won't Kira, it appears that the Orb personal survived as well as a few Zaft personal that I wanted taken out," Ryu told him.

Kira grew angry, "The fools couldn't even finish off a simple task, shall I handle it for you?"

Ryu liked that talk as their was no remorse, "Never mind that now, their time will come shortly…board the Minerva and start to head out…and make sure you take them to the correct spot without looking to suspicious."

"I will handle it sir, nothing will stop our goal now," Kira said as Ryu smiled.

"Move out and I will see you when you return, we have a little business to handle back at the satellite," Ryu said as there was still the little motion of the traitor.

"I understand sir, moving out," Kira said as he signed off and looked back down to the council.

Kira could tell by their expressions they were pleased and Kira knew the tools were almost sold as once they got to the point they didn't need them anymore they could be permanently removed so he would only have to play their puppet for a little longer.

Kira looked down as Sarah looked relieved and he knew with them watching he made a motion to her with his mobile suit as he started making his way towards the Minerva.

The destruction to the base was heavy, and Kira knew that as he was finally going into space and now he could test his machines full capabilities.

Shinn and the others got word to head inside as a solider approached them and they had no idea why but they followed orders.

Main Building

Ryu knew that with this out of the way all they would have to do now was finish the rest off then the fun would truly begin, Ryu knew that this would create more tension and anger between Zaft and the alliance, but now Orb was still a problem, and Ryu knew the perfect way to turn the new alliance Gil made with Cagalli into ashes, Ryu could only smile as Gil's role in their plan was almost up as well, without his loyalists and those that respected the treaty, he would have no help for what they were planning.

Ryu smiled as now he left the matters up to Kira, Ryu knew that Gil would still question just how all this happened when he finds out there is no ship waiting for the others, but that was all planned out, Gil's downfall was nearing and then with Ryu fully in command nothing would stop their war, and very soon would they show the world the power they held as the Doomsdays presence would soon be called into action.

Minerva

Most of the crew were already on board when the attack took place and they were trying to power up the warship, but it takes time, but now they because of that they were almost ready.

Talia took her place on the bridge as she and Arthur were making the final preparations.

Talia saw the new mobile suit approaching as all on the bridge were amazed at the design; however she still had her worries about the young pilot she now saw, on the main monitor as Kira ordered her to open up a mobile suit hanger.

She complied as Shinn and the others were inside the same hanger not knowing why they were there.

The doors opened as they saw the same hero machine starting to walk in.

All but Shinn and Rey were glad to finally see the machine up close as the entire hanger crew was waiting to see the pilot.

Armageddon

Kira waited as the doors were finally opened and he moved his machine straight inside, the armor was switched off as Kira was having no troubles breathing now, but his eyes still craved for battle.

Kira walked the suit in as all were waiting for him; Kira however was not interested in a greeting as it was strictly to finish this the rest off why he was here, Kira walked over to a dock and placed the Armageddon around as he powered it down.

All waited to see what they thought a hero but they were shortly mistaken when they saw just what came out of that cockpit.

To be continued…

(AN): I hope you liked this chapter and the first short battle, The next chapter will contain the other part of Kira's battle, Kira snaps a little, and a new force decides to take some action, as for Kira meeting with Lacus and his former allies that time should be before chapter ten. The next chapter should be up soon. Bye for now.
