Chapter Nine

Second Phase

Secret Satellite

Command Center

Immediately after the explosion destroyed the hotel room at the capitol Ryu was awaiting the arrival of several shuttles that were making their way to the satellite. Inside these shuttles was the crew of the Doomsday as well as Kira's new unit. Ryu cleared all shuttles to land and as he was going to meet with them he got word from a communications officer that Kira was making contact.

Ryu slightly smiled as he sat back down in his chair and had Kira's signal patched through.

"I expect good news commander," Ryu said as the frequency was patched through.

Kira made it down to his mobile suit right after the explosion and he had no problems launching into space as he immediately made contact with Ryu, "I understand sir, mission accomplished, I have in my position two data disks, it explains everything, he was going to get rid of the real Lacus at her home in Orb."

Ryu smiled, "Excellent work commander, I have a team going through all the communications you had as well as photos you took, with what you retrieved along with that we will have enough to speed up our efforts."

"Yes sir, I am returning now," Kira replied.

"The Doomsdays crew as well as your team have arrived, when you return we still have a traitor to deal with you will need rest commander, I can't have my number one lost to exhaustion, leave the rest to me now all I have to do is find out when exactly the Orb crew will be leaving," Ryu told him with seriousness.

"As you wish sir," Kira replied as the communication was stopped.

Ryu stood up, he thought things would be at a set back when the team he sent to the Plant failed to get rid of them but now they were able to counter that, and as soon as the Orb representatives leave they will start and finish the second phase in their goal.

Ryu walked out of the room as all did their ritual of moving out of his way and saluting as Ryu was heading for the shuttle bay.

Shuttle Bay

After Ryu gave the clearance shuttle after shuttle was landing, the Doomsday was the largest ship ever built and needed several hundred crew members to keep it going, and Ryu selected only the best that he knew personally as well as those that would only follow orders and not question motives.

As Ryu entered the shuttle bay the soldiers waiting all moved into line as they all saluted as Ryu now approached the first shuttle which he knew would carry the man he chose to be the captain.

Ryu stopped as the shuttle doors opened and several personal were now walking out, most were in black uniforms but the final one was in a white uniform, he was fairly old but his ruthlessness and experience were what Ryu liked most about him.

All personal in the shuttle approached him including the captain as all saluted.

Ryu looked straight at them and then to the captain, "Welcome to the future captain Willard," Ryu said as the captain smiled.

"It's an honor to be chosen by you vice chairman," Willard replied.

Ryu looked around at all the personal, "We will not waste much more time, and I need your crew to become fully aware of the new ships systems within two days."

"We understand your orders sir, however I was able to get a look at the Minerva and was quite impressed, now you say this new ship is even more powerful than that?" Willard asked.

Ryu looked at him, "My ship will without a doubt reign supreme in our upcoming battles, I will have you escorted down to the ships hanger now and will join you later," Ryu said as he nodded backwards to a few soldiers and they wasted no time opening a path.

Willard and the bridge crew were all loyal to what Ryu was planning, the rest of the ships crew were the type that just followed orders so Ryu knew this crew would give him no problems and they could proceed without worry.

The crew saluted again as they walked off, "One last thing if I may sir," Willard said as he stopped.

Ryu didn't look at him, "Make it quick."

"I was wondering if I could get a meeting with the ships designer," Willard requested.

Ryu still didn't look at him, "You will see him soon enough, after all he will be placed in charge of it when the time comes," Ryu said as Willard and his crew saluted again and left.

Ryu watched as ordinary crew members got off and headed the same way, their were several mechanics that were chosen and other crew personal that were officially approved by Ryu, no one other then the ones he chose were able to step foot on that warship.

Ryu now waited as one of the last shuttles carried Kira's crew and Ryu watched as their shuttle came to a stop and the crew started getting out.

The ride between Kira's team was very quiet, all three were at first looking forward to this assignment but after they met their commander and what was now occurring things just didn't seem right for them. When their shuttle stopped they got out as they looked around the satellite, this was one place they didn't even know existed, and it was completely shielded with his colloid on the outside, which meant this place had to be important.

Rey was the first one out of the shuttle as he immediately spotted Ryu, Rey knew well that he was like himself and Rau but Ryu was very different and Rey didn't really trust him at all.

Luna was the second one out as she looked around, the final one was Shinn, Ryu made sure to look at him and noticed that he still held the anger and Ryu knew he would make a good pawn for him and Kira to control.

Shinn was a little impressed with this place, but that was when he was nudged in the arm by Luna as they saw Ryu waiting. Shinn noticed he wore the exact same uniform as Kira.

All three approached him as they saluted.

Ryu looked over them again, three young pilots with a lot of potential that would do anything to shine, and that was the reason Ryu chose them as Kira's squad.

"I will say this only once," Ryu said to them.

All three immediately knew he sounded a lot like Kira.

"All three of you were chosen for this assignment for your potential and skill," Ryu told them.

They watched with interest.

"You are expected to follow orders that are given from myself and commander Hibiki, I sure he filled you in on the rest," Ryu told them in chilling tone.

Shinn immediately felt about him like he did about Kira, but with one change, this guy seemed even more dangerous, Kira was deadly but this guy seemed a little worse.

"For now you will report to your assigned quarters, when commander Hibiki returns you will be assigned your new machine and your first mission will be in a few days, now dismissed," Ryu said sternly.

"Yes sir," all three said as they left following orders.

Ryu watched them leave as he left shortly after heading down to the doomsdays dock.

Doomsdays dock

Like Ryu ordered the new captain and crew were shown the new warship and as soon as they saw it they were stunned, the thing was enormous. The ship without a doubt looked the best but they were still unsure of the abilities. None approached the ship yet as they were looking over the specs and that was when Ryu arrived.

"So what do you think captain?" Ryu asked.

Willard looked at him, "Incredible sir, I was surprised to see the payload but after seeing what it is powered by, all I can say is incredible."

Ryu smiled, "Now you see why I needed such a large crew."

"One thing commander, what is that in the middle, I seem not to be able to find it on the data," Willard asked.

Ryu smiled again, "That captain is the genesis cannon."

Willard and the crew looked at him.

"A genesis cannon?" Willard asked surprised.

"Correct captain, all the brilliance of commander Hibiki, his vision is exactly what represents this cannon, you will find more information in the ships data base," Ryu said reaching in his jacket and pulling out a card.

Willard took the card, "Once again I want to thank you for this opportunity sir," Willard said saluting him.

Ryu looked at him, "Just make sure you get the job done, for now take your crew and start setting up on the ship, I hope to bring this into action soon," Ryu said as all saluted him again.

Willard was about to talk when Ryu got a message.

"Sir Commander Hibiki has arrived," an officer said.

Ryu smiled slightly looking across the room to the traitor that was still sweating bullets, "Show him in and have him report to me."

"Yes sir," the officer said as they left to carry out the orders.

Aprilious One

Headquarters

Inside his office Gil was going over paper work when he got a call.

"What is it?" Gil asked signing something else.

"Sorry sir…but we have an incident in the city," the aide said.

Gil didn't stop signing, "What is the problem?"

"We received reports that there was an explosion at the hotel sir," the aide told him.

Gil stopped writing, "What do you mean?"

"We are sending teams over to investigate sir…but the explosion was quite large and occurred on the top floors," the aide replied.

Gil grew worried, he didn't care about Meer but he cared if it screwed up his plans.

"Get back to me as soon as possible," Gil said hanging up the call as he picked up the phone.

Gil dialed Meer's number but it wouldn't connect, Gil threw the phone back down angrily as all he could do was wait.

City and Hotel

The explosion drew crowds as rescue squads arrived, many didn't know what was happening, people were looking up as the windows and walls were blown out, the explosives Kira set were extremely powerful for hitting certain spots. The hotel was being evacuated as rescue crews went up but also people the aide sent to investigate arrived and went up right behind the rescue teams.

All people were interested in what happened except for one, and that was Lacus, normally she would be concerned but she still couldn't get the image she saw, Lacus felt in her heart that it was Kira, she searched all over, and she looked in every direction and couldn't find him. Lacus finally arrived back at the hotel as she was out of breath.

Lacus thought that maybe that wasn't really him that her heart was just playing tricks on her, but she couldn't get the feeling out of her mind, Lacus was tired but she didn't give up as she quickly started looking around again.

The team the aide sent were right behind the rescue teams, they made it up to the floor where the explosion was set, as soon as they arrived at the floor it was filled with little smoke which was strange, the team quickly got to the room and they knew right away that was the room the chairman was looking for.

The rescue teams got to the door that was about triple the size from the explosion and they were surprised at what they saw.

The team was getting impatient as they saw the rescue crews doing nothing and they started pushing past them.

Once they arrived they saw why they were in shock.

They looked in and the room was totally obliterated, but there was no fire and the explosion was limited to this one room.

The explosion Kira set was meant to do just that, the fire would make sure to burn it self out and it was made to do maximum damage in a small area, a genius work that Kira knew they would find no evidence from.

The team snapped out of it as they thought they saw something, "What is that?"

The rescue teams finally saw it as it was under debris, they went in and lifted it up as they had to quickly back away.

The team saw it as they knew the chairman was going to be pleased as the mutilated body of Meer was found, the explosion worked just as Kira wanted it to.

"Better contact the chairman," one team member said.

The lead member quickly rushed out, "Get an investigation and forensic team in here now," he ordered as he picked up the phone and called Gil's aide.

The aide got the call and shut his eyes as he now had to contact Gil.

Headquarters

Gil was steaming as he finally got the call, "What is going on?" Gil wanted to know.

The aide hesitated, "Our team has arrived on scene sir."

"What happened?" Gil asked seriously.

"They…there was nothing left sir, Miss Campbell's room was the one that exploded, there is hardly nothing left of her, she's gone," The aide said.

Gil heard that and grew very angry, "How did this happen? I want to know who, and I thought I told Hibiki to stay with her!" Gil shouted.

"We are sending investigation teams their now sir, I am trying to check the logs now, we will get back to you as soon as possible," the aide said as they hung up and Gil slammed the phone down.

All that money and time were now wasted as Meer was gone, but now he was totally set back as trying to get people to agree to his plan now was all but wasted.

Gil was very angry as he picked up the phone again.

Secret Satellite

Doomsdays Hanger

Ryu was waiting for Kira when he got the call and Ryu knew it didn't take him long.

"What can I do for you chairman?" Ryu asked.

Gil was very angry, "Where is Hibiki at? I ordered him to…" Gil said as Ryu cut him off.

"He is on his way back here sir," Ryu said.

"I told him to fulfill this assignment and now!" Gil screamed as he remembered he didn't tell Ryu about Meer.

"He told me sir, and he said he worked hours on an assignment with excellent progress, he was going to contact you upon his return," Ryu lied.

Gil was still steaming, "This is inexcusable."

"Let me remind you sir we acquired his help for a specific reason now let him do it so we can begin your project," Ryu lied hoping to shut him up.

"My plans are severely jeopardized now Ryu!" Gil angrily said.

"Don't worry about it, we will handle it, now I must go," Ryu said as he hung up the phone.

Gil slammed the phone down again, something was not fitting up anymore and it seemed Kira was always in the middle of it.

Ryu smiled and knew that Kira's mission was now a complete success, Ryu was glad that with what he was planning Gil would soon be no more.

Hanger

Kira was cleared for entry as he made his way inside the hanger; Kira stopped his machine on a lift that would take it back up to its regular dock. Kira powered down the machine as he grabbed the two disks he took from his recent assignment, Kira knew right when he met her that Meer would be no problem to manipulate, she craved and needed attention badly so Kira gave it to her and in turn completed his mission.

Kira opened the cockpit as he walked out on to an elevator as he lowered himself to the ground, and as Kira looked around he saw that several soldiers were waiting for him, Kira was going on two days without sleep but he knew their was still one more piece of business before he could rest his body, Kira would work himself to death if ordered but Ryu didn't want his number one in bad shape for the main event.

The soldiers saluted as Kira approached them, "Welcome back commander, you are expected down in the hanger," one soldier said hesitantly after staring into the commanders eyes.

Kira said nothing as he walked right past and to where he built his ship, on his way there Kira noticed that the place was very lively meaning the Doomsdays crew had likely arrived.

Kira however made one pit stop first, and that was to the barracks, Kira knew this would be a quick detour.

Kira headed straight to the room where his team was assigned.

Crew's Quarters

Kira's unit arrived at their temporary quarters as it was nothing special, Rey and Shinn were forced to share a room while Luna was in the one next to them, but after settling in she joined them as their were a lot of new faces around here.

"Just like him to keep us waiting," Shinn said annoyed.

Luna looked at him, "It was your mouth that got you in trouble the last time, just remember that," Luna told him seriously.

Shinn folded his arms, "I hate that commander, he acts so cool like he's a god or something," Shinn said angrily.

Rey was just as silent as always.

Luna took that statement Shinn said seriously, they heard what he did on the Minerva it was like he passes judgment on anyone; he gives orders and ends lives without any sort of remorse.

"I don't like what he did to my sister one bit, that is precisely why you shouldn't push him like that again," Luna said not wanting anything to happen to him.

Shinn signed annoyed as their door was immediately opened, all three jumped a little as they were in silence but as they saw who it was they got to their feet, and Shinn like always was a little slow, but all three did salute.

Kira barged right in without knocking as he wanted to give them their orders and then report back to Ryu; Kira looked at them as he saw that Shinn still held his grudge.

"Listen up carefully, you are to report down to classified mobile suit hanger at the bottom of the satellite," Kira said handing each one a key card, Luna and Rey took them immediately but Shinn and his cocky personality wanted to know what they were first, and Kira was in no mood.

Kira handed his out to Shinn as Shinn didn't move.

"Don't push me today boy," Kira said to him very sternly.

Shinn stood his ground, "What are these things for…commander," Shinn said the commander part with a little mocking tone and was that a mistake.

Kira once again snapped as he used his speed and power to get right up in his face as his eyes were locked onto Shinn's, Shinn didn't know what hit him as it was fast.

Kira grabbed his throat toss him straight into the wall he was standing at, as Shinn gripped Kira's hands with his own trying to free himself but it wasn't working.

Luna knew he went too far but there was nothing she or Rey could do now.

Kira squeezed and squeezed staring into Shinn's eyes, Kira wasn't going to stop until Shinn submitted to him, "Your skill is no where near the quality of your mouth weakling," Kira said in a deadly tone still squeezing.

Shinn was struggling and struggling as he couldn't break Kira's grip.

Kira stared at him as a small pleasing smile started to form, "What will it be little boy? You are very replaceable to me," Kira said as he wouldn't mind ending his life and if Shinn didn't submit he would.

Shinn looked into the eyes of Kira as he was feeling fearful again, and he cursed himself for it, glancing over his team looked on in worry as Shinn knew he didn't have any other choice, as he removed his arms from Kira's and submitted.

Kira waited a second longer before he released him, as Shinn coughed gasping for breath, once he got his breath Shinn looked back at Kira and Kira immediately backhanded him hard across the face making Shinn fall to the ground.

Kira walked over to him and grabbed the back of his hair lifting his head off the ground as he showed the card straight in front of his face, "You will never beat me, now I suggest you forget about your worthless sisters death and move forward," Kira said throwing his head back on the ground tossing the card on the back of his head.

Shinn heard every word as he wanted to fight back but his body was drained after only one attack by Kira, and he cursed himself for being so weak, he hated Kira even more and that was what Kira wanted.

Kira then looked back to the other two, "Now take those cards and drag his carcass down there if you have to, you will receive your new units," Kira said as the two quickly saluted as Kira walked out of the room.

Luna immediately cursed him, "Why did you do that?"

Shinn couldn't say anything.

"I suggest you start playing this smarter," Rey finally spoke up and told him.

Shinn couldn't say anything as Kira nearly suffocated him to death, but they did as Kira said and started taking him to the hanger.

Kira left as he finally arrived at the Doomsdays hanger.

Doomsdays Hanger bottom of Secret Satellite

As soon as Ryu got word that Kira had arrived the traitor technician didn't like where this was going, he knew they had to be on to him but the reason why they weren't taking him he didn't know, he was extremely nervous as was sweating bullets, he quickly looked around as he saw security was tightened all but in one spot and that was a path leading to the weapons storage and a few other engineering rooms.

The technician looked around as he saw everyone was way to busy preparing for the doomsday and he slowly rose from his chair, he quickly tried to access his systems again but nothing came up, the man looked around again as he looked at the exit and then slowly made his way to the door as everything seemed normal and as soon as he got out he picked up his pace and took off.

Kira finished with his team as he arrived inside the hanger and saw a bunch of new people and then spotted Ryu by the main control panel for the doomsday. Many inside knew Kira and they quickly saluted.

Kira walked over to the control board as Ryu finally spotted him.

Kira stopped and saluted him, "I have the package sir," Kira told him reaching in and pulling out the two disks handing them over to Ryu.

Ryu smiled as he looked at them, "Well done commander, I will have our teams get to work on them immediately."

Kira nodded to him as Ryu looked at the man next to him, "This will be the captain of Doomsday, quite effective and he will be able to handle the job when you're in the field," Ryu said as Willard approached him.

Kira looked at the older man, and if Ryu said he was good then so be it.

Willard looked at Kira in a little shock; he didn't expect someone at twenty to be the creator of this monster.

"An honor commander," Willard said saluting him.

Kira only looked at him, "If the commander says you can get the job done so be it."

Willard looked in the murderous eyes of Kira and from the reception he knew Ryu did a good job for selecting him.

Ryu nodded to Willard and he went back to work.

"When do you think we can begin sir?" Kira asked as he stood behind Ryu as they made their walk around the control room.

"I am currently trying to find the exact date Orb leaves, it shall be then," Ryu told him.

Kira looked around and the staff that wasn't working was stationed in respective spots as Kira taught them to be whenever Ryu was around.

"I have my unit looking at their new machines now sir," Kira told him.

Ryu nodded his head, "Very good, leave the rest to me for now and get yourself some rest, but first we have a mole to take care of," Ryu said looking over in the direction and saw he was gone.

Ryu only smiled, he knew he wouldn't get off the satellite, "It appears he finally freaked," Ryu said looking at the empty station.

Kira looked at him, "All traitors shall be dealt with like always."

Ryu turned to him, "Not this one, I let him free this long hoping he would attempt to break into the security and contact whoever but that did not happen, I need you to capture him alive then we will question him."

Kira looked around and knew there was only one way for him to go, "The fool is walking into a dead end."

"Take whatever you need and bring him to room one, let him sit for a day in solitude," Ryu said knowing all to well what that room was.

"What is the traitor's name?" Kira wanted to know.

"Leonard something or other, last names won't matter in a little while," Ryu replied.

Kira looked at him, "I will go myself, sound the alarm though, it will make it all more interesting for the hunt," Kira said saluting as he approached the door where he knew he left.

Ryu liked the answer Kira gave as in his tone there was anger and hatred, what Kira hated most were those that betrayed their cause.

Kira walked over as Ryu announced an alert as the alarm blared.

Space Earth Forces Territory

Things were busy throughout this day on the Earth Forces Lunar base, Neo did as Jibril had ordered and the fleet was launched a just a few hours ago. The Earth Forces were hoping to take advantage of what they learned Zaft was going through. They planned for an attack like this in the future but Jibril just couldn't pass up this opportunity.

Neo didn't have time to get the full lunar fleet but since Jibril ordered a nuclear strike what they had they believed would be enough especially with the Earth forces new ship that Neo himself was commanding.

Neo gathered up all of what Jibril ordered and it was a fairly large fleet they had assembled several Agamemnon, Nelson, and Drake class ships for this assault. The Agamemnon class ships were armed with the nuclear warheads that Jibril hoped would finish off the job. The other ships all carried several types of new mobile armors, old models of Strike daggers and a few of their new Daggers; they also had a few Windam mobile suits.

They were very varied and they believed they could do it with a force of thirty ships, and over a hundred mobile suits, they were hoping to use the debris field and Strike the Plants before they even knew what hit them, they knew that fighting head to head would only get them destroyed so they hoped to just by enough time to get the nuclear warheads off just like Azeral did in the last war.

Neo was sitting on his ship which by far the best they had, the ship was known as the Girty Lue and they were hoping it would play a major part in contending with Zaft's new warship the Minerva.

Secret Satellite

Engineering Section

The traitor named Leonard didn't waste any time, he knew all to well what commander Hibiki does to traitors, he made his way down the hallway to several rooms, this area was practically deserted as it was just for weapons storage and a few engineering structures that didn't need much maintenance.

Leonard was very freaked out as he ran as fast as he could, he made it to the weapons storage and walked in shutting the door out of breath, he looked around and decided if he had any chance he would have to arm himself, he quickly looked around and grabbed the first handgun he could see, and as soon as he did the alarm went off.

It was extremely loud and he knew they caught on to him, he was only a technician that had no weapons training or anything like that, he stayed in the room for a little while longer hoping they wouldn't find him yet, he was trying to think of something, anything to get off this satellite.

Leonard knew he couldn't stay here forever so he decided to make his move; he went back to the door and opened it as he had company.

With Kira

As soon as Kira walked in the alarm sounded, Kira wanted the alarm for one reason and that was to freak him out. Kira knew this satellite like the back of his hand and knew that he had no where to go now that he entered this section of it.

Kira didn't rush he walked straight down the main hallway, it was almost as if Kira could sense his fear as he walked straight down to the weapons storage, it was their and Kira saw the door shut and he waited right here.

Outside the Weapons Storage

Leonard finally made his way out of the door he was breathing heavily and was scared out of his mind, he walked out and turned his back as he shut the door, but that was when he heard it.

Kira saw him walk straight out as he slightly smiled, "Lenny!" Kira shouted in a mocking tone.

Leonard heard that sound as he about jumped a mile in the air and quickly turned around seeing the last man he wanted, he looked into his eyes and even though Kira's voice wasn't dark his eyes surely made up for that, Leonard lightly screamed as he took off down the hallway, he was extremely scared and forgot about his weapon, he was slightly overweight as Kira saw him take off.

Kira was in no mood but he decided to have some fun with this as Leonard took off, "Aw don't make this hard Lenny," Kira said in a mocking tone as he only walked after him.

Leonard heard that and ran as fast as he could till he realized he was at the last room and it was filled with engineering structures that helped keep the satellite running.

Leonard walked in looking around like made as he realized he was at a dead end, he quickly shut the door as he ran towards one of the structures and hid behind it, he knew he was screwed as he was shaking like crazy.

Boiler Room

Kira didn't run after him he walked, he knew he had no where to go, Kira reached the last room which was like a boiler room as he opened the door and walked in.

Leonard freaked as the door opened as he tried to remain as quiet as possible then he realized he had his gun; he popped the safety off as he waited.

Kira walked in and as the room was dead silent, Kira reached into his pocket and pulled out his silver handgun, which the traitor saw.

Kira looked around, "Come on Lenny I can hear you breathing, I'm not going to hurt you," Kira lied he knew right where he was but he was enjoying this little game.

Leonard was silent he knew other wise, but that wasn't changing his fear.

Kira walked around as he mocked looking all over the place, even in a trash can, "You did a terrible thing Lenny, did you honestly think our great commander wouldn't find out," Kira said as he pulled up a chair and sat down rubbing his handgun to his forehead.

"Whatever will I do with you Lenny? You know how I work, however we can work something out, tell you what I will put my gun away," Kira said placing his gun back in his jacket as he stood up, and looked straight in the direction Leonard was standing, "You can stop hiding," Kira said as Leonard slowly came out and raised his gun straight at Kira.

Kira only smiled, "Was that so hard?"

Leonard's hand was shaking, "I…I…I will not suffer the same fate as the others…I did what I had to…I am in charge now," Leonard said as he motioned to the gun again.

Kira lightly laughed as he started walking towards him, "You did a very bad thing Lenny," Kira said mocking again as he didn't stop.

"Stay…stay away you monster!" Leonard said as he pointed the gun straight at him.

Kira obviously knew something he didn't, "You betrayed my trust."

"Stay away!" Leonard shouted again.

"You betrayed our cause," Kira said with his voice rising again as he was only a few feet away from him now.

"I said get away from me!" he shouted again as Kira stopped right in front of him quickly taking the gun barrel in his hand and Kira pointed it straight at his own chest, leaving Leonard confused.

"Are you really man enough, I don't think you are," Kira said staring Leonard right in the eyes.

Leonard was extremely afraid as he quickly pulled the trigger.

Doomsdays Control Room

Ryu held all teams back for a few minutes to let Kira take control, people in the satellite were wondering what was going on, but this alarm only meant their was a traitor and with that knew also knew Kira was back which only made them feel very sorry for the traitor.

Ryu was waiting for news when he was approached by a soldier from a different department, "Sir I have news."

Ryu looked at him and was waiting for this, "Go ahead."

"I finally received information from what you told me to investigate," the soldier said.

"So is it confirmed?" Ryu asked.

"There is defiantly something down their sir, we received these images only this morning, I think you will find them interesting sir," the solider said handing something over to him.

Ryu looked as he was right, "I see…well then this shall work out well, Andrew Waltfeld is still as slick as ever, it matters not what he does, but if I am right about him he will obviously head back and when he does we will strike, that foolish chairman thought he could hid what he was building from my eyes," Ryu said as he dismissed the soldier and knew he would take care of this shortly.

"Get me an assault team," Ryu said as they did as he was told.

Classified Mobile Suit Hanger

Like Kira had ordered Luna, Rey and Shinn made their way down to the hanger, Shinn was able to recover and walk on his own but he was still feeling weak and angrier by the second, they arrived at the doors as they showed their key cards to the soldiers as they opened the large doors for them.

The doors opened as they walked in and in surprised saw three machines standing in their docks.

They stopped right in front of the three as all three of them looked surprised.

They were in awe as they were approached by the chief mechanic.

"You three must be Hibiki's team?" he asked.

They saluted the man and agreed, but Shinn didn't like it.

The mechanic smiled, "Well here they are, without a doubt the three most powerful machines next to the Armageddon."

"Impressive," Luna said.

Rey stood silent.

Shinn liked them but not what the mechanic said next.

"Commander Hibiki designed and built them all," The mechanic said.

Luna was a little surprised, Rey knew what Kira really was and it didn't shock him, and Shinn grew jealous again, was their anything Hibiki couldn't do.

"He has assigned all of you already to one machine, Miss yours is on the right," he said to Luna, "Yours sir is on the left," he told Rey, "As for you it's in the middle," he told Shinn as they approached the machines.

"Use your keycard in the controls at the bottom of the elevator and it will give you the details, commander Hibiki will explain them to you tomorrow, your orders are to get as used to them as possible," the mechanic said as he walked away.

Luna was the first to approach her machine, it looked quite impressive and what she noticed was it seemed to have adjustable equipment; Luna pressed the keycard into the slot as the data came up ZGMF X56S Impulse.

Rey walked up to his massive machine, he immediately recognized it as he placed the key card in ZGMF X666S Legend.

Shinn was the last he hated having to fly a machine built by the man he hated most, but he had to admit it was impressive as he placed his card in ZGMF X42S Destiny.

Boiler Room

Leonard pulled the trigger out of fear but nothing, he pulled it again and still nothing, he did it a few times and still nothing.

Kira slightly smiled, "Fool," Kira said pulling the gun out from his hand, and he popped the clip out, "All storage weapons are empty," Kira said making Leonard shake again.

Kira looked at him again but this time his eyes were not mocking they were pure demonic, "What was worst was you betrayed our commander!" Kira now shouted angrily as he pushed himself forward and head butted Leonard straight in his face making him fly to the ground as his nose was a bloody mess as he agonized in pain.

That crime is unforgivable in Kira's mind, Kira walked towards him again as Leonard was trying to scoot back but Kira was right with him, and side kicked his head straight in the mouth making a few teeth fly out as now his mouth was a bloody mess.

Leonard started begging for mercy, "I…I…ah," he said as Kira grabbed his face with his hand and squeezed.

"You know the penalty Leonard," Kira said reaching his fist back and punching him straight in his eye making him fly back to the wall, Kira wanted to end his life but Ryu still wanted him alive.

After Leonard hit the wall the rest of the security team arrived.

"Commander," they said.

Kira looked at them making them not want to look at him for long, "Take this garbage to room one," Kira said moving out of the way.

The soldiers saluted as they quickly ran over to his body and picked him up dragging him out of their as they saluted.

Kira reached in his coat for a few pills quickly taking them, Kira knew his duties for the day are complete and now decided to head to his quarters.

Doomsdays Control Room

Ryu got word as Kira captured the traitor and he was taking to the room, Ryu smiled and knew he would let him sit their until sometime tomorrow, they would break him and he knew he could get the information out of him.

Ryu finished meeting with his assault team as he was sending them over to Aprilious One for an assignment Ryu hoped would take place soon.

Ryu saw the doomsdays crew working hard as he knew it should no longer be more then two days max for them to begin.

Room One

The soldiers opened the secured door and dragged Leonard into the room strapping him to a chair, Leonard opened his one good eye and saw the room and immediately freaked out screaming his head off.

The guards walked out and secured the room as they knew all to well things in there wouldn't be pretty.

Kira's Quarters

Kira arrived at his quarters as he walked in and saw Sarah waiting for him.

Sarah received word that he was ordered to Aprilious one but was glad he was back, she got up walking over to him as she froze a tad, she looked into his eyes and saw that he was back to normal, the turn she saw at the ball was gone. That attack was still fresh in her mind and was very terrifying, but what worried her the most was he would once again get worse with the threat of war looming down on them, she spent most of the day working but with a few other stops as well.

"I didn't expect you back so soon," She told him approaching him.

Kira walked over to his desk taking off his coat and belt holding his guns in place, "Business was taking care of, now I need sleep," Kira said walking over to his bed and falling down.

Sarah sat next to him, "I received orders from the vice chairman that I will be taking the com on the Doomsday," Sarah told him hoping for a good reaction.

Kira didn't look at her, "Is that so," Kira said as he shut his eyes.

Sarah was trying to tell him something very important and when she was about to she turned and saw he was asleep, she sighed in disappointment and laid next to him, she was disappointed he was back to his old self but their was little she could do about that now, she rested her head against him hoping she could talk to him tomorrow.

Aprilious One the Morning

Gil's office

Gil was in his office early as he got the report from the hotel and was not to pleased, witnesses say the woman they thought was Lacus was seen with a man that looked like Kira, Gil knew Kira was suppose to be with her but the timing was worrying him, and after Kira's behavior he was doubting him and even believing he may have snapped again.

Gil had to quickly cover it up and announced that it was technical problems that caused the blast and a lone tourist woman was the casualty, he did that to cover his self and to stop a panic for people thinking it would be another attack.

Gil was having serious doubts about his decision to bring Kira in and that was when he got a visitor as it was Talia.

Gil looked up, "What can I do for you captain?"

Talia looked at him, "I want you to do more about Hibiki."

Gil nodded, "I know and I will soon enough, after this the search is over and Orb is gone I will release him," Gil told her as he believed having Kira around was far too dangerous.

Talia nodded, "I have to return to my ship…just be careful," Talia said as it was like an instinct.

Gil slightly smiled as she left the room, and Gil knew he would have to once again go meet with Orb so he quickly finished up.

Command Center

Inside the command center Cagalli and Athrun finally arrived to help with the matters of the search and to investigate her ships destruction. Cagalli noticed that Lacus was a little late and very shortly after that she arrived.

"Are you alright?" Cagalli asked.

Lacus didn't sleep at all, but she decided against telling anyone what she thought she saw, "I was just out for a walk…but I am eager to get this done and go home."

Cagalli nodded, "We will be able to leave tomorrow, we are almost finished with the search and I will transfer the investigation over to the professionals in Orb, I know you are eager to return and I don't blame you," Cagalli said knowing all to well she wasn't good at that sort of thing and she wanted to find out just what happened to her ship so she would turn matters over to other Orb officials.

Lacus nodded as she still wasn't able to get that feeling out of her mind and heart that image of that man, that disappeared she knew he had to be real.

They were about to start when Andrew rushed in.

"Sorry for interrupting but can I see you for a minute," Andrew told Athrun.

Athrun nodded over to Cagalli as Andrew started speaking with him, and Athrun agreed to what he said as he left.

Athrun didn't tell Cagalli out of a favor to Andrew but he wanted Athrun's help with those machines he saw, Athrun knew this was against the treaty him being part of Orb now, but he agreed with Andrew and something was going on so he agreed to help him.

Little did they know someone was watching their every move and heard both what Cagalli and Andrew said, he knew the date they were leaving and what Andrew was up to as the man quickly ran for a communicator.
