Chapter Six
Destroy
Near the Minerva
The council watched as Kira headed straight for the Minerva, they also checked their family members they had with them and luckily none were hurt.
Sarah's parents looked down at her as they were relieved all that was over.
The soldiers guarding them were still in position as it seemed more were now heading out of the main building to get over to their spot.
The council saw the soldiers now approaching them as all stood silent when the ranking officer spoke, and his orders were to get all inside and down to the bunker until the situation was in control.
The council motioned to their families to go ahead as they all walked together to have a quick meeting.
Most people were still in shock and fear at what they saw; many people were destroyed in an instant at what looked like the brutal attack of the Earth Alliance.
All were gathered as they started making their way in to the main building.
"I can't believe this took place," one councilmember said.
Another looked at him, "It is just as I always thought the naturals would never leave us alone for long."
"This is by far a breach of the treaty and will have to be dealt with accordingly," another said.
"All the naturals do is seek to destroy us, they were without a doubt using this entire time to plan a new strategy," another said as all were angered.
"The chairman is without a doubt sending the Minerva out into action, and I hope he will place commander Hibiki in charge," another councilmember said as they were very impressed with Kira.
I believe he will be the perfect choice, the chairman did Plant a favor by high ranking him," another said.
"His skills were without a doubt god like, you must be honored councilmen that could one day become your future son-in-law and with a reputation like he will receive that could place you high up for the chairman's seat," another said only to Sarah's father as of course a terrible tragedy took place and politicians did what they would do best and that would be to play politics with the situation.
Sarah's father actually liked that idea, "We will see how this will play out in the future, I will defiantly take that to heart, but first things first we have to handle this situation," her father said as that was his first concern.
The comments went just as Ryu knew they would go, as now Kira had made a name for himself and they just had things a lot easier.
The people were lead inside as most were still in shock and they allowed all council members and even their families to head down to the secured bunker in the Plant.
All most could think about was here we go again.
Space
The remaining five mobile suits led by the squad leader bugged out right after the final explosion of the last remaining suit from the other team. They saw their chance when Kira saved the council and decided it was best to get the heck out of there since the objectives they could complete were done.
They made their way down the shaft and back out through the supply dock and straight back into space, they knew the emergency doors in the shaft were shut after they broke in, but it seemed now somebody opened them and they knew it had to of been Ryu trying to give them an escape route, and they were right, it just wasn't for the reason they thought.
They made it back out into space as they wasted no time flying towards their rendezvous point, however they were now fully on radar and would be easily traced. The other Zaft ships that Gil called up were still scrambling to go on alert status and they had an open path to space, that was another gift from Ryu, he wanted them to get away and the reason for that was they rendezvous point was near earth forces space and in order for them to proceed Kira would have to make sure of one thing.
The mobile suit team never broke radio silence as they made their way to the rendezvous point as they had faith in their commander to make sure they got out alive, and they were expecting an escort, so they knew everything would be fine.
Minerva
Hanger
The crew of the Minerva was still working hard to get the ship ready and all they were waiting on was for it to fully power up. The crew was heading to their positions all but those that were the last to enter and that was Shinn and his group, along with more mechanics who saw the hanger doors open and a brand new machine starting to walk in.
The mechanics were looking at the machine as it made its way over to a dock so he could get out. All mechanics looked on in awe as they really wanted to get their hands on that machine. Vino and Youlan were among them as this looked like the best machine they ever saw.
Shinn however didn't move an inch; he had to admit the machine was impressive it was the pilot he didn't care for as he stood his ground.
Rey and Luna however knew better as they were brought to this ship for a reason when they were ordered to board during the attack, and Rey had to drag Shinn over or Kira would without a doubt finish him this time.
A few security teams were gathering as all were eager to see this hero as they thought who saved the council, all were watching the events from the monitors and they had very strong respect for the unknown commander.
Another person that arrived was none other then Arthur as he would greet Kira and give him the reports.
People watched as the machine powered down and soon the cockpit doors opened and revealed something they didn't expect at all.
Inside his machine Kira finished shutting down his machine as it was firmly docked, but before he did he looked at his main camera and saw the people gathering, all had astonished looks on their faces and it made Kira sick from such acts, but he would still have to keep his anger in control, Kira knew that from his performance outside he should have gained the councils favor, and now it was time to complete the second part of their opening act.
The machine was finished as Kira opened the cockpit, Kira was impressed and pleased with his design so far but he was still looking forward to testing the rest of it out, and he would do that very shortly.
Kira walked out of the machine as he reached for the cord and then heard applause, and that made Kira sick he wasn't here to put on a show or make them feel grateful to him and he would have to show that.
Kira reached for the cord as he started heading down to the ground level.
All inside saw the strange color of his uniform as they never saw a soldier with that color, but it about matched his machine.
Kira made it to the ground level as he didn't look up yet, people were very close and as soon as he looked up some applause died down a little mostly by the people in the front row, the look on Kira's face was once again demonic, people were getting a very bad vibe from him as it looked like he was ready to kill them.
Shinn who was being dragged by Rey stopped near Arthur who was just in front of Kira, and Shinn saw that look, and he couldn't help but feel intimidated again, that was the same look that nearly would have killed him.
The applause died down as Kira started walking towards Arthur.
Arthur and Kira's team both saluted.
"Welcome commander and well done," Arthur said as Kira didn't look too pleased.
"You call this a military ship," Kira said in a chilling tone as he looked at all the people.
Arthur looked back, "Forgive us sir, but they just wanted…" Arthur said as he was immediately cut off.
"Inexcusable, it is because weak leadership like this that got the Plant attacked in the first place!" Kira now shouted as he looked at the crowd, "I believe a ship cannot run on its own get out of here," Kira said sternly as the crowd immediately disbursed heading to their post with the exceptions of the mechanics which this was their post and a few started heading towards Kira's machine as he was talking with Arthur.
Arthur had a very bad feeling from this commander, and his eyes stared right through him.
"You are right sir, it will not happen again," Arthur said never breaking his salute.
Kira stared at him, "Make sure it doesn't," Kira said as he looked at his team and he could see Shinn still held his anger.
"All of you were brought here for one reason and that is to observe, because of this situation you will be delayed in receiving your new machines, however you will watch and I will show you how I run things," Kira said as he looked back to Arthur.
"Now take me to this so called captain," Kira said as all saluted again and they started heading out but that was when Kira noticed something towards his machine.
Vino and Youlan were completely impressed as they looked up at the machine and when they got near it they immediately wanted to check it out, they started climbing up the feet to get a better look, but that was a complete mistake.
Kira saw what was going on as his patience with these people were running thin, Kira stopped following Arthur as he immediately headed over to the two of them.
Vino and Youlan were looking at the machine when they heard something from behind but it was too late.
Kira walked straight up to them grabbing them both by the back of their suits collars and immediately threw them off, Kira's strength was amazing as both were launched at least eight feet back and they landed against the hard crates of the supplies that were yet to be put away.
They both broke out of their daze as they looked up only to see the commander staring down at them with a murderous look.
Arthur and the others couldn't believe it as they feared the worst now.
Kira stared straight down at them, "You touch that machine again and you die," Kira told them as Youlan didn't say a word he was in complete shock.
Vino wanted to explain himself though, "We…we…we were only…ah," Vino said as Kira immediately stepped forward placing his boot straight on Vino's hand nearly crushing it as he held it to the crate and as he did, Kira reached in his belt and pulled out a switch blade knife and held it towards his hand.
"It's your choice you keep your hands off, or I remove your fingers one by one," Kira said darkly as the rest saw he was dead serious.
Vino couldn't say anything as he quickly nodded his head in agreement.
Kira closed the knife as he put it back in his coat and removed his foot from his hand, making Vino hold it in pain.
Kira walked back over towards Arthur as the rest in the room were horrified, and this was how Kira and Ryu ran things, they controlled people with fear.
Arthur wanted to stand up for him, but as he stared into Kira's eyes that would be a mistake, Kira arrived back as they started heading up to the bridge.
Shinn and the rest went over to Vino as his hand was completely broken; the force Kira dealt with was tremendous.
Shinn only gained more anger at his new commander.
Kira and Arthur were headed up to the bridge as Kira once again started getting a headache, but this time he realized he spilt most of his pills and didn't bother picking them up and that only meant disaster as his anger was the strongest when his head hurt, their was nothing physically wrong it was all mental as the stress from the last war still haunted him.
It wasn't long before they arrived at the bridge.
Bridge
Talia was busy direction the bridge crew on the new ship as they never expected to have to go into battle this quickly. As soon as Kira arrived she sent Arthur to bring him back here, as she got her orders from the chairman, the orders were simple to find and destroy the machines that did this and to identity the ship that carried them.
Talia saw some late arrivals such as Meyrin and a few others on the bridge as a few wanted to see and congratulate the commander but Kira immediately dismissed them when he first got out of his machine.
Talia believed they were almost ready when the doors opened again as Arthur and Kira had arrived.
Talia was already standing as she turned around to salute a commanding officer, but know knowing his true rank all on the bridge crew stood and saluted him, Meyrin looked on as Kira's expression was the same from the mobile suit hanger, she and the rest didn't like the feeling they were getting from him.
Kira walked in and saw all of this as no matter how hard he tried Talia completely reminded him of Murrue and that was one of the people he despised the most.
Kira stopped towards the front of the upper deck on the bridge as she spoke, "Welcome to the Minerva commander…" Talia didn't get the chance to finish.
"Don't waste my time on useless nonsense, when will this hunk of tin be ready to move?" Kira said more as a statement then an order, he had no respect for this ship it as it was only a toddler compared to his which he hoped they could bring into action soon.
Talia could tell her speculations were right about him, something about him wasn't very stable, he was extraordinary in battle no doubt, but she wondered if he would really tell friend from foe in battle or would he just go on a complete killing spree that was what worried her.
Talia looked at him, "We are just doing the final checks but the thrusters are all powered up, we should be ready to leave in ten minutes."
"That is unacceptable, move it out now!" Kira nearly shouted now as he was without his pills and his head was killing him again.
Talia grew flustered, "That is a risk…" she was silenced again.
"I know all about this ships power it will be alright and do not push my limits," Kira said in his chilling voice that made the crew all jump, and Kira would make good on his word.
Talia somehow knew he would follow through on that as she saluted again, "Yes sir…Arthur will fill you in on the details," Talia said as she sat down.
Kira turned to the commanders chair on the top floor as Arthur walked over to him, and Kira stopped him with his gaze, "I know what I have to do, now go do something," Kira said as he sat down holding his head, as now the pain was getting even more worse, flashbacks entered his mind as the ship was powered up fully and Talia finally gave the order as the lift that brought them up was being lowered back down so they could leave out the ships dock at the bottom of the Plant.
The lift stopped as they were given clearance and the doors to space opened as the Minerva was launched, and like Kira knew there were no problems.
Arthur looked at Talia, "It has been a little while since they left."
"Use the data being sent to us to find a probable direction they headed," Talia ordered.
The bridge crew was going to work as Kira remained silent so far the ship was going where they were supposed to, he knew exactly where they were but he couldn't make it look to obvious so he kept silent. Talia was right about one thing Kira was not at all stable, but he channeled his anger making him stronger, he always fought with hate and rage, but most of the time he kept it in check, but now it was ready to burst.
Kira shut his eyes trying to rest himself as the visions just kept coming and trying to contain himself from snapping was getting harder and as they launched into the direction last known for the suits his head once again played the voice of Rau Le Creuset.
Ceremony Plant Bunker
Lobby
In the main lobby room of the underground bunker Cagalli and Lacus sat down as they saw what happened and now things look like another war will likely start to break out. Cagalli was worried about her escort ships that were still waiting for word, she knew she would have to get some sort of word to them to be on the lookout for anything, and the threat for violence was high, she knew Orb would not choose sides, but her fear was they would eventually have to pick one or another, pressure from members of her cabinet were to join the Earth Alliance, she just hoped it wouldn't come to that, joining Zaft would make them a front for earth alliance attacks so she would do all in her power to remain neutral.
Lacus however was thinking nearly the same thing, she desperately wanted to get back to Orb, her reason was very strong and she was extremely worried, but even now she wondered where Kira could be, and if another war broke out she knew it would destroy him permanently, he was just starting to recover when he disappeared and she still couldn't understand what happened that made him do that. Lacus placed her hand on her heart as especially during these times she needed him, she was very strong on the outside, but a complete wreck on the inside, she helped Kira but he helped her as well. Lacus was in thought about something really important when the bunker elevator doors started opening.
Athrun, stayed near Cagalli as Gil had Yzak and Dearka waiting by the elevator to escort the council in to the briefing once they arrived.
It wasn't to long when the doors started opening revealing the council and some of their family members, as the elevator had to make another trip to get the rest, but the council was all in the first load. The soldiers located inside the bunker had orders to keep all family members inside the lobby as Gil was going to brief the council privately.
The council said nothing to each other on the way down, most couldn't believe just what was taking place however they only knew one thing; they wanted consequences to whoever did this.
Once the elevator doors opened Yzak and Dearka along with a few others saluted as they started leading the council to the command center where Gil currently was.
The family members were instructed to stay in the lobby as Yzak led the escort, once they reached the command center, Yzak opened the doors as he saluted and the council walked in, when all were in the doors Yzak and Dearka were the last ones to enter as they shut the doors behind them.
Family members were joined the Orb representatives as they were the ones that seen the most devastation, the room crowded pretty fast as their were even a few children, Cagalli listened to some of the conversation and from what she gathered ill feelings were once again starting to gather towards the alliance and she knew right there that the peace treaty that kept war from them for four years was about to expire.
Lacus stood up as hearing all of this talk made her feel even worse, she got up as she got a few stares since most recognized her, but as she was heading to the other side of the room she noticed the girl she ran into earlier, Lacus looked at her fast as she looked really upset, but more then that she looked worried, Lacus being the person that she was decided to talk to her, but a part of her was doing this only to forget her own feelings at the moment.
Lacus approached the girl as she sat next to her, "Excuse me Miss," Lacus said as Sarah broke from her trance and looked at her, as soon as Sarah arrived she sat down as she couldn't get the situation or her worry of Kira out of her mind, she saw the way he acted and she feared that his newly found relax ness he had might be gone again.
Sarah heard someone approach her as she looked up when called and saw Lacus who bumped into her earlier.
Command Center
Gil was assessing the damage done while his aides and staff were briefing him, Gil knew the Minerva had just launched so he expected justice to be done, but now he had to figure out what to do next, Gil wanted immediately to start working on his Destiny project, but now with the immediate threat of war he would have to but that on the back burner and handle the current situation.
Gil was looking over the images as he saw from a few security cameras the strike daggers doing the damage, and that was when the council arrived, Gil ordered the footage stopped as the council arrived.
Once they were all gathered Gil ordered the doors shut as Yzak and Dearka complied as they stood right in front of them once shut.
The council gathered around the table that was located inside as Gil took the head seat.
"I am glad all are safe, I am currently going over the footage," Gil said as he nodded to an aide as they began the footage again.
The council was out there and saw mostly everything, faces were horrified once they saw them fire their beam rifles into the crowd, they watched the entire thing and when they saw the Armageddon come into action a few smiles were returned, which Gil noticed. When the footage was over Gil turned to the council as now they wanted answers.
"How in the world did they even get inside?" one councilmember said out loud.
"This is unacceptable for them to ever get this close, what if they were armed with a nuclear warhead," another said as all were not too pleased with Gil for the moment.
Gil quieted them all down, "We are currently looking at that as we speak, this attack was well planned and they even destroyed our ships supplying that was how they got in," Gil said as he showed the image and the council's faces once again were horrified. Yzak and Dearka knew that was his ship down their and if not for the chairman's orders to escort he would have been annulated.
"Where was the security force?" another asked.
"Like I said they were all transferring their machines for the new ones, this attack had too much intelligence for my liking," Gil said as he knew they had to stop pointing fingers.
"It is apparent what happened chairman, the alliance has been using this false peace to rearm and attack us once again," another councilmember said.
Gil had to admit that did seem true.
Sarah's father finally spoke up, "We have no choice but to act, the cameras were live throughout Plant and people are without a doubt worrying."
"I have put all military forces on alert, I will speak to the people when we get word from the Minerva," Gil said as others looked at him.
"Speaking of that chairman, we believe you now made a correct choice in placing Commander Hibiki in that spot, the man without a doubt saved this Plant today," the first councilmember spot up.
Gil slightly smiled he knew this could help him out.
"I believe once we get word from commander Hibiki about the earth forces conformation, then we should prepare for a counter strike," another council member said.
Gil stood up, "We will not be hasty, this could be just a few stray blue cosmos members, and I will not act until I have proof."
Some members didn't like that.
Sarah's father spoke again, "I couldn't help but notice the Orb personal sir, any chance they had a hand in this matter?"
Gil looked at him, "No…they were attacked like us, our terms were well discussed she wouldn't risk them."
Others weren't to sure as they did not trust any natural nations at the moment.
"By the way chairman...where is the vice chairman?" another asked as it was strange he wasn't here.
Gil looked at them, "He is still upstairs running the operation to hunt down the remaining suits that escaped us," Gil told them.
Gil then stood up again, "From what I gathered before you arrive they do have a trail to follow so we will have a live feed once they arrive, then we will make our decision on the consequences," Gil said as some agreed with him and the others believed he was taking to long with making a decision to attack.
Yzak and Dearka listened as things weren't going to good, and they knew they might soon be back into action.
Lobby
Sarah saw Lacus as she wanted to stand to greet her but Lacus just shook her head and sat down next to her.
"Is their something I can do for Miss Clyne?" Sarah asked trying to take her mind off the situation but that was what Lacus was doing.
"Forgive me if it's none of my business, but you look really depressed, I know many are from what just happened but you still seem worried," Lacus said hoping she wouldn't offend her.
Sarah didn't feel offended, she felt like she could talk to her, "The attack was terrifying, but I am just worried about someone," Sarah said with a little more tenderness when she said someone.
Lacus understood, "If you wish to talk I will listen."
Sarah looked up at her, as she couldn't believe Lacus Clyne would actually talk to her like she was her friend, not to mention she was famous, but she figured she would feel better if this was all out.
"Have…have you ever loved someone?" Sarah asked.
Lacus looked at her, "I did…and I still do," Lacus said as she once again thought of Kira.
Sarah detected the sadness when she said that, but she went on, "Ever since I met him I knew of his reputation, he would use women to get over his pain at night then when he found a new one he would leave them broken."
Lacus broke out of her trance.
Sarah went on, "I took a big risk in falling for him but I did, I feared he would treat me like the others but he didn't, ever since he was with me he hasn't been with anyone else."
Lacus looked at her, "I guess just finding the right one, would change a person," Lacus said as she remembered her own experience.
Sarah shook her head, "He didn't change though, he doesn't see anyone else, but he has suffered from so much pain from the past that I don't think he will ever open up to me," Sarah said as Kira never told her his past but she could tell he was suffering in pain at night.
Lacus heard that and suddenly felt her own situation, this girl was going through what she did, but Lacus did get through to Kira, then all of a sudden he vanished.
"I know how you feel, for awhile I thought that to, but towards the end he did start returning to his normal gentle self," Lacus said with a hint of more sadness, "I'm sorry for asking but why do you feel these things now?" Lacus asked as the situation was grave.
Sarah looked at her, "He is so cold and hurtful I know, but once his work was finished I hoped he would relax and he did, but now that this situation has happened I fear he will go back to the way he was," Sarah said sadly but the truth was he was never relaxed.
Lacus felt as if she knew this man somehow, "Where is he now?" Lacus asked as it seemed strange he wasn't with her.
"He was the pilot of the mobile suit that saved us, and now he is heading after the ones that escaped, but I know him, he is very powerful in a mobile suit and I fear that he will once again lose it…I don't know if for all this time I have just been looking at an illusion, maybe there is nothing I can do, but I can't stop loving him," she said almost in a sob, she really did love him and all her hopes were now becoming crushed.
Lacus looked at her, "I can only tell you of my own situation, I was once engaged to a man that was arranged by our fathers, but when I meet him all that changed, the obligation I felt to marry my fiancé went away, he was the right one for me, we fought together and once the war was over he was a wreck, after a year of torture for him mentally he just vanished, I tired and tired looking for him, it still believe if I never would have taken this job he might still be with me, he seemed to be getting better but the last time I saw him I felt I shouldn't have left and every day since I regretted it."
Sarah looked at her, their situations were very similar, "Do you still search for him?"
Lacus slightly smiled, "I have never stopped and I never will, he gave me the greatest gift any person can give another and I have never stopped loving him."
Sarah felt the same, they just never knew they were talking about the same person, Lacus heard Gil say his name was Hibiki when they first got down so she never gave it any thought.
Sarah slightly smiled, "Thank you Miss Lacus, I now believe I am choosing the correct path, I will believe in him," Sarah said as Lacus smiled as she had to return to Cagalli.
"I do hope everything works out for you," Lacus told her.
"The same for you, I hope next time to come up I will get to see you again," Sarah said.
Lacus turned to her, "Actually I am resigning from my position, I am going to start giving my full attention to what truly has to be done," Lacus said as she knew this job was interfering with what she had to do and now she was putting a stop to it before it was to late.
Sarah smiled, "I see, thank you again," She said as Lacus smiled and walked away.
Both Sarah and Lacus felt as if they were going through the same thing, and technically they partially were.
Lacus returned to Cagalli as they had to focus on the matters at hand again, but Lacus felt a little better and she hoped things would work out for the both of them.
Main building surface
Up in the main building and unknown to the council was Ryu had a feed going into the command room where the council had their meeting. He couldn't have video but he had the audio transmitter placed their earlier way before the attack, Ryu made sure that all soldiers in the control room were occupied and as they were doing their jobs he listened in on the entire conversation and the results were just as he wanted. They praised Kira and started questioning Gil. Ryu decided he would wait for Kira to attack the remaining forces then he would make his own way down there, Ryu wanted to see their reactions when Kira showed the true power of his suit.
The opening act of their goal was nearly complete, and very soon would they take the next step and that step was the chairman's seat. However Ryu knew he still had Orb personal and a few soldiers that survived to deal with, but he decided to wait and see their next move before he made another attempt to get rid of them.
Ryu sat back as now he waited as he placed his trust in Kira to finish this off.
Plant Territory
Space
Immediately after the remaining stolen Strike Daggers got clear they continued on as they neared the edge of Zaft territory, they didn't know how long they were flying but it seemed like forever, they knew that picking a location way out here for retrieval was the right thing for the commander to do, but it was a pain.
They neared the edge as now they could break radio silence, and what they were heading in was a field of Debris that was still left from the previous war, they neared the edge of Zaft territory that was near a main crossing lane used by ships from earth to get to Plants and it was also where Cagalli's escort was stationed just outside the territory the units were aware as they stayed clear from them as they crossed over heading the border into the small debris patch as were looking for a small cluster of ships that was where they were to wait.
The squad leader decided to break radio silence now as they were clear, "All units check in," the squad leader said as all five remaining checked in.
The squad leader was glad for that.
"What do we do now sir? That was a monster, they never told us about that," one reported in.
"We wait, the commander said our escort would arrive shortly after our arrival, as for that monster machine I figure probably one of the rumored machines the chairman was constructing with the Minerva, I guess it is true," the squad leader said as that had to be it.
"We didn't complete all our missions' sir, I saw the Orb personal," another said as it was to later for that.
"What is done is done, as the squad leader I will take full responsibility and report to the commander myself," the squad leader said as the outcome of that could be drastic.
The radio was silent for a little while as the squad leader came back on, "Never the less we delivered the main objective, we destroyed the port and all that will stand against us in the future, I am sure the commander will take that into account, now power down all what you don't need and we will wait, we will go back into radio silence until we pick up something on the radar and make sure those Orb ships cannot detect you either so don't make any big movements," the squad leader said as all followed his orders as they waited and after a little while they got something on the radar heading straight for them.
Secret Satellite
Immediately after the last communication from Ryu the captain in charge until Kira returned instantly put his orders into action, since they knew who the mole inside was all they were doing now was keeping an eye on him until Ryu returned. The captain had all his files on his system encrypted so when he tried to access anything on his system it would be immediately blocked. This action would immediately make the traitor realized that he was found out, but then it would also make him realize that he had no where to go and he would have no choice but to fear for his life.
The technician that was the traitor would very shortly find that out.
He was assigned to the Doomsday and since all they were doing were running tests on the systems he quickly went back to his station as he was going to check the progress of the messages he sent and hopefully get some sort of word back, the man sat down and brought up his system but as he tried to log on all he got was an error.
The technician was confused as he tried it again, but failed again as this time it told him the system was no longer accepted the access code the man had. The technician then grew worried as all technicians had their own access code to any system and his personal system was now blocked.
The technician looked around as none were looking at him, but as he glanced up he saw a security camera that was blinking on, and since it normally rotated it was fixed straight on him.
The technician then grew very fearful as he tried to make it look like he was doing something; he looked around again as soldiers were always standing near the exits, but now there were a few more of them.
This guy knew if he didn't do something it would be far too late, and especially since Kira would be the one arriving back first. The technician couldn't understand how they found out but he was now trying to find a way to save his own skin, but on a practically unknown satellite with no shuttles, the only way to get here was from an outside shuttle that was for security reasons and now the guy knew he was really in trouble, but what worried him the most was having to face Kira in one of his interrogations, the man knew he had to come up with something.
Minerva-nearing Earth forces Territory
The Minerva followed the trail that they were given from the Plants and saw they would soon be crossing into earth forces territory, Talia knew Gil's orders were to not pursue past Zaft territory in fear of an ambush but Kira on the other hand was not going to go for that.
The entire Minerva crew was searching for the ones that committed this heinous act.
On the bridge Talia and Arthur saw they were running close to the border and that was where their intelligence stopped. Kira on the other hand remained on the bridge in the commander's seat on the upper levels as he didn't say a word since they left. Arthur kept glances at him as he could tell there was something seriously wrong, Kira kept his hand on his head as he was in some sort of pain. Kira was going on a long stretch without his pills and now his past trauma was about to break its peak as in the flashbacks he saw now all he heard was the voice of Rau Le Creuset, every single word Rau said in their final battle just kept playing over and over in his head and Kira's stability was now at it's worst as one wrong word and those that knew him knew it would be their last.
Bridge
Kira was making the entire bridge crew nervous, but now they were right near the border.
"Captain we are approaching Earth Forces territory," Arthur reported to her.
Talia looked around, "Is their any sign of any earth forces presence?"
Meyrin turned around, "Nothing captain, when checking long range radar I found several Orb ships though."
Arthur looked at her, "Probably the escort of the Orb representative."
"Is it possible those machines were launched from those ships?" Talia asked as that seemed like the only options those daggers couldn't have gotten that far without some sort of escort.
Arthur looked at her, "Highly doubtful, Orb is one of our main supporters."
"From what I gather though they have cabinet members that support blue cosmos," Talia said.
"Some yes, but the majority are with the chief representative," Arthur replied as he checked the systems again.
"It seems this is as far as we can go," Talia said as the ship started slowing down to turn around.
That of course is when Kira took notice, as he finally stood up, "You will proceed forward captain," Kira said making all look at him.
Talia turned around, "I'm sorry commander but our orders stop here."
Kira was growing angry, "Keep the ship moving into earth alliance territory, I know they are not far," Kira said as his patience were being tried.
Talia looked at him annoyed, "Like I said commander, our orders are to…" Talia said as she was immediately silenced in a horrific way as a gun was now pointed at her.
Kira was turning around when she said that last thing, but at her defiance made him snap, Kira immediately reached into his belt removing his gold handgun and placing it right at her head, "You have defied me for the last time worthless captain!" Kira shouted out as his eyes said he meant business.
The crew was horrified at his act, some stood in shock as a few others were just frozen, Arthur saw that look in his eyes back at the hanger and knew he meant business. Talia was in a little shock and knew her instincts were right about this man, but she was now in a very dangerous position.
Kira stared right into her eyes, "We will proceed inside, as you probably know I have authority to do as I please in a battle situation as long as I act under the chairman's orders, and his orders were to destroy those that disgraced us," Kira said in his chilling voice.
Talia didn't make any sudden movements, "The chairman's orders were not to proceed into earth forces territory," she said in a chance.
Kira continued to stare at her, "Your orders not mine, now proceed," Kira said as the crew still remained silent and in shock.
Kira was going past his patience limits, as he aimed and fired a shot near the captain's seat.
All jumped at the action as a few put their hands to their mouths in horror.
Talia looked on in horror as the darkness of his eyes was now making her fearful.
"Proceed captain, or do I have to do something drastic," Kira said as he looked around and saw one of the bridge crew that was the closest as Kira once again aimed his gun at that man who immediately started shaking.
"What do you think your doing? This is out of…" Talia said in a little anger as a shot was fired again.
Talia and the others watched in horror as Kira shot the man he was aiming at straight in the chest. The man who was shot looked down as he fell straight on his face as he was gone almost immediately.
Screams were heard on the bridge as the commander looked like he wasn't done yet.
Talia couldn't believe he went this far as Arthur was still frozen.
Kira looked straight back at her as he had absolutely no remorse for doing what he just did, he completely snapped, Kira saw she was taking her time again and Kira once again pointed his weapon again this time he aimed it straight at Meyrin.
Meyrin watched as the man fell in horror, but when she looked back up the gun was now pointed at her as she nearly fell back on the control board shaking a little; she shook her head no as she was panicked.
Kira however had no remorse as he looked back at Talia, "Your move captain, her blood will be on your hands."
Talia looked back into his demonic eyes as Kira spoke again.
"I can run this ship without any of you so make your choice captain, my finger is slipping," Kira told her sternly as Talia knew she now had no choice as she spoke.
"Proceed inside the earth alliance territory," Talia said as Kira lowered his gun placing it back inside his holster.
"Was that so hard? Now head in towards the debris I have a feeling they will be waiting for their escort to arrive, don't ask questions just go," Kira said as he once again sat back down making all other crew members stare at the fallen body that still laid right near him.
Meyrin's breathing returned to normal as she slid back in her seat, but she was completely useless as her hands were still shaking bad as she came that close to meeting her maker.
Talia nodded to Arthur as he went back to his station and sat down working, as she went back and sat down in her chair to finish commanding she knew that young officers death was highly unnecessary and she knew she would have to speak to the chairman about this, Kira was no where near stable enough to have his position, but now she questioned whether or not he enjoyed that, his eyes never changed and now he sat down like nothing ever happened.
Talia wanted to remove him of his command but somehow knew that would be a mistake and more fatalities would occur but they wouldn't be his.
Talia proceed in as she knew she could be next if she didn't comply as they now crossed into earth forces territory heading straight where Kira said.
Kira looked out as the entire bridge crew was afraid to look at him, Kira's mind however felt a little bit better, his headaches were gone and it seemed the monstrous acts he committed always seemed to relieve him a little, but Kira knew the pain would return and would never stop until all that did this to him suffered.
The Minerva reached the spot where Kira led them and he knew this was where they were hiding somewhere, Kira once again stood up as they were close enough, "Stop the movement," Kira ordered as the crew jumped again.
Talia nodded to the helmsman as he stopped.
Kira looked around and saw the markers he knew would lead him to the team, Kira looked down at Talia, "I will head in alone, maintain the course towards the shipping path after I launch," Kira ordered as Talia knew they could be easier detected there, but she wasn't going to question him again, as Kira got up and left.
As soon as the door closed Arthur looked at her, "That man is a monster captain, we should detain his command."
Talia looked at him, "You think I wouldn't like to do that…what he said about the chairman's orders were true, all of you stay calm and I will discuss this with the chairman when we return, just don't make any more sudden movements that could wind up hurting more," Talia said regretfully as she blamed herself for the fallen officers body as she ordered it finally retrieved and taken away.
They all agreed as doing anything else would be a drastic mistake.
Hanger
Kira left the bridge heading straight for the mobile suit hanger, Kira knew the exact location of the squad leader's team and was now going to finally test out the remaining equipment on his mobile suit, Kira had to hold back in the Plant but now he could test the full speed and maneuverability. Kira was already starting to develop a reputation as many stayed clear out of his way but they made sure to salute him as he walked through.
Kira's mind was solely on what he had to do as he walked into the hanger, inside Kira saw the many mechanics with nothing to work on and saw not a soul near his machine that was now lying dormant.
Vino and Youlan were one of the first to see him as they quickly got out of his way as Vino's was still nursing a broken hand, Kira walked over to his machine as he grabbed the line and started raising himself up. Kira didn't bother with a flight suit once again, and for the main reason as he knew this wasn't going to be a battle, it was going to be a slaughter, a beast hunting its prey only the mighty beast knew where the prey was hiding.
Kira got up the cord as the he stepped inside the cockpit and began powering the system up. It didn't take long as the Armageddon was awoken for his rest and ready to hunt again.
Kira closed the cockpit doors as he took hold of the controls, since this suit was set for all types of combat Kira didn't have to make any changes, Kira finished as he reached down and gathered a few pills he spilt earlier but now decided against taking them, he didn't need to calm down at the moment so he placed them in his uniforms pocket as he placed his hands on the controls.
Kira finished preparing as he saw someone from the Minerva trying to contact him, and Kira knew it was probably one from the bridge crew to tell him he was clear and since Kira didn't want to hear from fools he turned his communication equipment off.
Kira shut his eyes for a second as he reopened them and as he did Kira placed his feet on the pedals as he walked out of his holding section and towards the lift. The lift opened for him as Kira stepped on the launcher, the doors behind him closed as the doors to space opened and Kira didn't waste no time as he launched straight into space.
Kira turned the armor on as he flew off towards the direction he knew they were hiding.
On the bridge Talia not wanting to take anymore chances flew towards the lane where Kira ordered them to but as she did she slowed the ship down so they didn't have to be detected by the Orb escort fleet for a little while.
Debris Field
Kira knew exactly where to go as he flew in to the debris field and as he did he flicked as switch on the control stick as the beam rifle that was holstered on this one forearm slid down and into the hand of the Armageddon, Kira slightly smiled as first thing was first, five machines to take down and so little time do accomplish something else.
Kira headed straight towards the spot where they were hiding as he looked at the radar and saw even though they were powered down Kira knew how to spot them as he found five heat sources and all he could do was smile as he sped up to the highest speed the Armageddon could go as he was now hardly visible. This speed did a lot to the body but Kira knew he could handle it longer then anyone else.
Kira flew towards the opening of the small cluster of damaged ships as he found one of two of them right towards the opening and he smiled as Kira didn't break his speed as he saw the chance, and the two plasma beam cannons built into the wings were lifted over the shoulders as Kira fired and after he did he aimed his beam rifle at a certain point and fired at as well.
The squad leader and his team waited like they were told to and that was when the outer dagger picked something up on the insignificant radar as he broke radar silence, "Sir we have incoming," the pilot said as the other four daggers turned towards them as they began powering back up thinking they were leaving.
"Distance?" the squad leader asked.
The pilot hesitated as he couldn't believe it, "It's really fast sir, it's approaching a dangerous speeds," the pilot said quickly.
The other daggers started flying towards it as he quickly came back on, "Sir…now detecting something…were being painted……ah," was what happened as the line went dead.
The other strike daggers froze as they saw what happened.
They were flying towards the outer Strike Dagger as suddenly two red beams blew the two arms of the Strike dagger clearly off.
The other four stopped their machines as they saw what happened and as the defenseless dagger was floating another green beam approached as he went right through the cockpit causing the machine to blow up and the others to be thrown back a little.
"What is going on now?" the squad leader asked in a stressful tone.
"Sir over there," another pilot said as they turned towards the firing direction only to see the monster machine they just fought as its reddish black eyes seemed to be glowing.
Somewhere on Earth
One a large mansion like building that was run by several soldiers, their technicians received a very important transmission early that day. The staff immediately was able to decode it as it came from one of their spies in Plant. They got the message decoded and were trying to get an audience with the head guy all day, but as he was in meetings with several old men that none really knew much about.
During that man's meeting he got word that a transmission was received and he was now going to allow it into the meeting.
They set it up as the man and the rest in the room waited for the set up.
"You say this comes from Plant?" one old person asked.
The man nodded his head, "Directly and from what I was briefed on I believe we can move further ahead then expected," the man said as the message was ready.
All waited as the main guy played the message the technician transmitted from the secret satellite.
All listened as the message was the talk between Ryu and Kira when they finished introducing the Doomsday, it spoke of their opening goal and the attack that was taking place most likely as they speak. The message finished with a few more details as this was what they needed to hear.
The main guy smiled as it stopped this was perfect for them.
The old somewhat council liked what they heard, "It seems as if the coordinator scum are now fighting against each other," one said.
"Any idea on who those two talking were?" another asked.
The main guy looked around, "From intelligence the one is the second in command as for the other unknown."
"What are you proposing?" another asked.
The main guy smiled, "We can use this to our advantage, and we were always planning a surprise strike and now is our chance while they are disarrayed."
A few were unsure, "How can you gather a fleet in this short of time…besides if this even happened their security will be at top notch."
"What will it matter, the two that planned this made it look like our attack so Zaft will without a doubt look to return the favor, all I am saying is we use this to our advantage, and besides I have a fleet already on standby, ever since we rebuilt our lunar facility I have been sending ships and personal their for an attack, I have a guy I can trust in command of our newest battleship," the main guy said as the others looked around.
"What about our nuclear situation?" another old guy asked.
The main guy smiled, "Ready and waiting, I thought our agent inside would be helpful to speed things up and how right I was, I can have them move out in a couple of days."
The old guys were gaining confidence, "It would be nice to finish what Azeral failed to do."
"Finally ridding ourselves of the space monsters is what I am in favor for," one of the old guys said as the main guy saw this working.
Since the treaty he had been looking for a chance to strike back and prepared for that, but now he knew the risk in going early, but from what he heard on that tape he believed it was finally time to break this false peace and strike with all their might against the Plants.
"Then it is settled, I shall contact our lunar base and have them get ready to move out, and don't worry about our new ship, it will have no trouble leading the way inside while our nuclear force strikes the Plants," the main guy said as he got up and left.
The others were pleased that they could begin their new extermination plan, they only hoped in jumping the gun wouldn't hurt them any, but they also had no choice as the two looking for a overthrow in Plant made it look like they began this surprise attack so they really had no choice only this way they would be on equal playing grounds.
The main guy left the meeting chamber as he walked to one of his communication rooms and he made a satellite call to their newly built lunar base.
The man waited as all of a sudden he got a response.
Lunar Base
The lunar base that was destroyed by the genesis fire in the first war was rebuilt to a degree by the Earth Alliance, according to the treaty this was still earth forces space so Zaft couldn't do anything about it, just like the alliance couldn't do anything about Zaft's shipping lanes to lead to earth.
Inside the base was a giant ship newly built especially for the orders it was about to receive.
Inside of the ship was a man sitting on the bridge as he got a call, the earth force personal transferred the call to the ship as the lone man sitting on the seat received the call, the man had long blonde hair, a black uniform and wore a mask over his head.
"Sir incoming message from earth," one officer said as the man reached over and picked the phone up as he answered.
On the line was none other then the main guy on earth, "It's me, how is the progress of the ship?"
The masked man spoke, "Progress complete."
The main guy smiled, "Very good, how long will it take you to mobilize your fleet and head into Zaft?"
The masked man thought, "If we head straight in we can do it today, if you want us to get closer we can head in through the debris field that would take about two days once we leave."
The main guy thought, "Good go with the second option, ready the fleet and prepare yourselves for battle, your orders are to destroy the Plants."
The mask man spoke, "Very well, we will leave in about a day's time."
The main guy was pleased, "Situation in Plant changed a little but if we don't strike now they will without a doubt strike first, we have been training hard for this moment now don't let me down Neo Lorrnoke."
"I will get it done," Neo said as they hung up and he turned to a few crew members, "Prepare the fleet we move out tomorrow," Neo said as he quickly stood up and left.
The crew did as he said and began the preparations for a full surprise attack, and they believed they would finally be victorious.
Neo left as he knew what he had to do, he just wished he could remember something that kept trying to enter his mind.
Down on earth the main guy smiled as he believed this would finally be it as another entered.
"Sir, we have a call coming from Orb," the person said as the man knew who it was coming from.
The man picked his phone back up.
"Mr. Jibril sir," spoke the oldest Seiran.
Jibril then spoke up as they began a briefing.
Debris Field
"What is going on now?" the squad leader asked in a stressful tone.
"Sir over there," another pilot said as they turned towards the firing direction only to see the monster machine they just fought as its reddish black eyes seemed to be glowing.
The squad leader's eyes got a little big, "All units scatter," the man said as all strike daggers began heading out into the open.
Kira watched and smiled as he once again speed the Armageddon up.
Three of the Strike daggers saw him fast approaching as they quickly turned around and opened fire in sheer panic.
Kira smiled as he immediately dodged all blasts that were heading at him, Kira could tell they were shot in haste, most were locked on to him but his evasion skills were top notch along the Armageddon's measurability made him even greater.
Kira decided it was best to test out his shield generator so he slowed down as a beam approached him and instead of letting the ultra phase armor do it's thing Kira raised the mobile suits arm as the anti beam shield generator created a shield that blocked the beam shots.
Kira saw that worked as he sped up towards the outer of the three and fired his beam rifle again, but as he did he connected with the mobile suits shield as Kira sped up again and got right in front of the machine.
The pilot fired at Kira but saw he blocked the shot with the shield generator and then as Kira fired at him he raised his shield blocking the attack but as he lowered it Kira was right in front of him.
The pilot was extremely fearful, "Get away," he yelled as Kira raised the rail cannons on the hips of the Armageddon and fired straight into the body of the dagger causing it to tare the armor apart.
The pilot cried out again as Kira put the beam rifle straight on the cockpit and fired a point blank shot straight into the cockpit making the machine explode as Kira quickly backed away from the blast.
All of that happened so fast the other machines weren't able to help him and now with three left the squad leader came back on the radio, "All units fall back now," the squad leader said as Kira was blocking one way and they were forced to head towards the main shipping path where the Orb ships would be stationed and that was what Kira wanted.
Kira watched as they fled, "Straight into my trap," Kira said to himself as he saw their direction, Kira decided to try something else out as he sped up again, the three remaining Strike Daggers were formatted in a triangle and Kira found this the perfect time for his next attack.
The two Daggers on the bottom of the triangle saw that Kira had drastically sped up to them as they panicked, they knew they couldn't outrun him so as they turned their machines around they fired at the monstrous mobile suit again.
Kira slightly smiled as he easily was able to dodge the attacks and he was really disappointed he had to waste his opening flight in the Armageddon to only face weakling opponents but it had to be done.
Kira dodged the attacks as Kira spread the wing formation on the back of the Armageddon as he launched the wings dragoon units, Kira broke apart the eight of them as the wings were seemingly gone from the back of the Armageddon as those were the dragoon blasters, they were a total of eight of them, but they had the ability to split into sixteen and then split once more into twenty four blasters, but Kira knew that eight would do.
As soon as they were launched Kira split the eight into two groups as he was going for Two Strike Daggers.
Kira was glad the things were easily to control as it was as if they were connected to his mind.
The two Daggers that were firing saw the wings extend as all of a sudden they broke off from the back and were split apart as eight things were coming at them, they had no clue what they were as they kept firing their beam rifles both at Kira and those strange objects but that was when their tragedy struck.
Kira evaded the blasts as he moved the blasters around each machine, as the blasters opened fire and were moving as they did it.
"Impossible…" one said as the connections with the blasts were tarring the machine apart.
"To strong…" another pilot said as the other four blasters were connecting with his machine.
The Dragoon blasters fired connecting with all arms, legs, the machines head and finally the body, Kira didn't stop the blasters as the machines were being shredded and finally they blew up.
Kira slightly smiled as the blasters were returned and reformed the wings on the back.
The squad leader was the only one left and he knew he wasn't going to make it back, but he didn't have time to react as Kira started using the beam rifle firing at him, but Kira made it easy to dodge, Kira wanted to lure him towards the Orb ships so he fired as the squad leader took off again, he knew that returning fire and connecting would only send the beam back so he had to find a way to draw the monster into close range combat as that was a long shot but also his only shot.
Kira kept firing as he knew they were nearing the Orb ships.
Minerva
Talia and the Minerva went towards the location where Kira had ordered and they now knew they were within radar distance of the Orb ships but this was the spot where Kira told them to stop and she ordered all the engines down as the warship came to a halt and Talia knew now was her chance to contact Gil so she left the bridge ordering Arthur to take control and she went to her quarters to hopefully get a hold of him, she knew all of his private numbers if need be so she wasn't stopping until she reported what had happened today.
Near Zaft Border Orb Izumo Class Ships
The three ships that were waiting knew meetings could go long so they knew they might have to wait.
All three captains of the ships had no clue what was going on and about the time the Minerva came to a stop they started picking it up on radar.
"Captain, we are picking up a Zaft ship at these coordinates," the officers said to all three captains on all three ships.
The captains immediately knew that had to be impossible as that was earth forces territory and all Zaft ships had to remain in the shipping lanes.
The captains were about to have them traced when all of a sudden they saw something approaching.
Debris- right near the shipping lane
Kira finally chased the Squad leader to where he wanted him and Kira knew he had to finish him quick, Kira now decided to stop playing games as he let go of the beam rifle as it slid back into place on his forearm as Kira accelerated again towards the machine reaching for one of his beam boomerangs and Kira quickly tossed it.
The squad leader got an alert something was approaching and he saw it was the boomerang as he quickly dodged it but got himself out of the way so it couldn't come back on him, he remembered that little trick from back in the plant but he didn't know was that was what Kira wanted.
Right after he dodged Kira pulled out two beam sabers but didn't connect them with the other two.
The squad leader dodged and turned back around only to have the demon machine right in front as he quickly reached for the daggers beam saber and he got it out but Kira stabbed the first saber straight at him taking off his arm that held the shield.
The squad leader gave a war cry as he slashed at the Armageddon, but Kira blocked it with the other beam saber and brought the first one back up in a vertical slash taking off the other arm.
"Demon…" the squad leader said as was now completely defenseless.
Kira saw him trying to move his head to deliver a kick but Kira activated the Vulcan guns on the Armageddon's head shredding the Strike daggers head straight off into nothing.
The squad leader was totally defeated, "Finish me."
Kira now smiled as he turned on his com equipment only to the frequency of that machine, "You have done well in serving our cause," Kira told him as those two were the only ones that could hear.
The squad leader looked up in astonishment, "That voice…commander Hibiki."
"The one and only," Kira replied.
The squad leader couldn't believe it, "I don't understand."
Kira smiled slightly, "Your role has started our cause and for that you have succeeded in your mission."
The squad leader couldn't believe it, "Why?" he said in a tone of anger.
"We have no more use for you, for our goal you will perish," Kira said as the Armageddon raised both beam sabers as the squad leader was in shock.
Kira then rotated the Armageddon slashing the Strike dagger into rows of pieces.
All Kira then heard was the squad leaders scream of pain as the final daggers pieces exploded.
Kira holstered his beam sabers as he realized how close he was to the Orb ships and he smiled as Kira reached down and activated the new Mirage Colloid making his machine invisible as he made his way towards the Orb ships.
Orb ships
The Orb ships saw some activity that was happening in the debris and all of a sudden they detected an explosion as the other heat source just immediately vanished from radar.
"What is going on?" one captain asked as something strange was definitely going on.
"I don't like this I think all stations should go to alert status," another captain of another ship said as the personal went to alert stations.
They waited for a few seconds when all of a sudden something happened.
Ceremony Plant
Bunker
When Kira started the attack he made sure to do what Ryu told him and transmit the images he was seeing from his main camera back to him so he could show the council and Kira did.
The council watched as the attack began and they became even more impressed with Kira' abilities one after the other fell and Gil was even surprised at how strong Kira was now, his newly formed attitude and skills truly made him practically invincible.
The council watched as Kira finished them off one after another and though they didn't hear his communication to the squad leader he did take his time on the last dagger.
The council was more then pleased but they didn't know exactly the location Kira was at all they were glad for was that they were gone.
The next thing they knew their transmission was blurred out as they lost the signal and that was Kira's doing, once he finished with the last dagger Ryu made sure to be the only one that could watch what he did next.
The council lost the signal as they were impressed, "Excellent choice chairman."
Gil knew they meant Kira, as he said nothing and he seemed to notice they were much more taken with Kira then him.
Gil was about to start another briefing when an aide came in saying he had a private call.
Gil excused himself as he walked out of the command center and to his private room where he picked up the phone as it was Talia.
"Gil here," Gil said.
"It's me," Talia said.
Gil smiled, "I just saw the remaining daggers destroyed good work."
Talia had no clue, "We wouldn't know sir, commander Hibiki is like I said he is not stable, we are currently in Earth Forces space."
Gil's eyes went a little big, "I specifically ordered you to stay in Zaft space," Gil said sternly.
Talia knew that, "It was his orders sir, and when I questioned him he fired at me shot to death one of my officers and nearly took another one, you gave him to much power he is insane!" Talia nearly shouted as she was still in disbelief.
Gil heard that as he was horrified, "Back up a minute, you mean he killed a Zaft officer?"
"That is correct, the man is insane, his eyes said we would have joined him you have to do something about this, those actions are due for a court marshal," Talia said.
Gil was now having big doubts about Kira like he first did, but it was Ryu that wanted Kira.
"I cannot give him a court marshal, I gave him the power to act on my orders and I didn't give them to him…I will handle this matter immediately, I don't care what he is saying get my ship back into Zaft territory," Gil said as Talia was a little worried about that.
"Don't worry I will give him the orders myself," Gil said as he hung up the phone extremely angry.
Gil then picked it back up as he contacted Ryu immediately.
Main Building
Ryu watched as Kira began the attack and he was even more impressed, but after the final dagger blew up, Ryu cut the connection to Gil off as he continued to watch and then he got a call.
Ryu picked it up as Gil started.
"I just got a call from Talia, and it seems as if Kira was gone insane!" Gil nearly shouted.
Ryu smiled, "Whatever do you mean?" Ryu asked normally.
Gil then told him everything as Ryu found it amusing, "He did no wrong sir, his orders were to destroy the machines and he did that."
"I don't need a loose cannon running around Ryu," Gil said angrily.
Ryu smiled, "You cannot pull this off without him sir, don't dwell too much into it, it's his actions that will insure your goal," Ryu lied.
"This makes me look bad," Gil replied
Ryu was glad his use was running down, "Let it go sir, everything will work out you have my word."
Gil came back on, "Fine then, but have him immediately report to Aprilious one when he returns I want to speak to him myself," Gil said angrily as he hung up the phone.
Ryu smiled as he placed the phone down, and continued to watch, very soon they would no longer need Gil so what he thought after the next event didn't matter.
Ryu returned to watching Kira as he was even more pleased.
Space Zaft shipping Lane Orb ships
Kira flew with his suit undetected straight out of the debris and into the open as he saw the Orb warships waiting and Kira could only smile.
Kira reached over pressing a few buttons as the Armageddon's gun launcher that was on the back in-between the wings and thrusters assembled into one medium size long range sniper rifle as he Kira quickly took it in his hands and aimed straight at the first ship he saw.
Kira then smiled as he pulled the trigger and a powerful beam was launched.
The Orb ships were very nervous as the activity around them was strong and now all of a sudden a beam came out of nowhere and was aiming right at one of the ships.
The radar personal caught it, "Sir incoming heat source," the officer said as the captain looked up but the long beam was heading straight for them.
The captain's face as the rest of the crew saw the beam as they panicked and the beam went straight through the front of the ship and out through the back as it completely blew up.
The other two ships saw it happening to fast as then they saw their first ship blow up.
"All hands level one alert," the remaining captain said as their ships opened up a long verge of fire.
Kira smiled as his job was done and the gun launcher disassembled and went back into its place as Kira started heading back but as he did he deactivated the Mirage Colloid right near the edge of their radar distance on purpose, as Kira flew off and the Orb ships were left in disarray.
Kira knew his mission was complete as he saw on his radar that the Minerva was heading back towards Zaft space and Kira knew that meant the worthless captain called the chairman but no matter they expected that.
Kira left heading back towards the Minerva.
Main Building with Ryu
Ryu smiled at those actions as now things would heat up and now it was time for them to put the second part into action and that was take full control of Plants so a few things had to go, and Ryu would start on that immediately after Kira returned.
Minerva
The Minerva was heading back when they lost track of the Armageddon, then they saw a large explosion on radar towards the Orb ships and the blast meant it had to be a ship.
"You don't think?" Arthur said as Talia only shook her head, if Kira did this like she knew he most likely did things were really bad now.
Talia knew this was bad but what was worse was a huge heat source was approaching very fast and then landed on the ship right in front of the bridge, as it was the Armageddon.
Bunker
Cagalli and the rest were waiting as Cagalli saw the meeting with the chairman finish and now she could have a word with him.
Armageddon
Kira saw the ship heading back and when he landed on the haul right in front of the bridge he could almost feel their fear, but he said nothing as he laid his head back on the seat, Kira knew that very shortly they would have what they needed, Kira reached down taking a few pills as he only slightly smiled, it was then that Ryu came on.
"Well done commander," Ryu said on his private channel.
Kira immediately looked down, "I hope you were pleased sir."
Ryu smiled, "You did extremely well, and it seems as if the Minerva captain contacted the chairman."
Kira looked at the ship, "Just as you said they would sir."
Ryu smiled again, "Once you return head to Aprilious one listen to his worthless talks then head back to the Satellite, we have a traitor to deal with, then we wait and when the Orb representatives leave we will strike again," Ryu said as he listened for Kira's reaction.
"If that is your desire sir, I will handle it," Kira said as Ryu only smiled and nodded as he signed off.
The Minerva flew back as Kira knew phase one was complete, and now they had to gain control that was phase two and the final phase would be the one all were planning for the true purpose.
Kira smiled slightly as his eyes remained emotionless his anger was still strong and his hate continued to grow, nothing would stop them and Kira would make sure of that, even his former comrades will fall if they get in his way.
To be continued…
(AN): I hope you liked this chapter, next chapter Kira and Ryu start their second phase as Kira starts losing it again, Cagalli learns what happened and a few more things, depending on the length I make it, it could be up shortly or a few days. See you later.
