Chapter Fourteen

Devastation

Space near Plants

Doomsday

Willard got the order, as he reached down on the pad as he flipped a switch up and typed in a few codes, the keycard was in and he pressed the final button as the ship made very loud noises, it was untested but everything was in the green.

The ships cannon lit up very bright as the alliance forces were confused but not after a very large ray was fired.

Archangel

Everybody on the Archangel and surrounding ships saw what was happening, and when it got very bright their worst fears were realized, Lacus fell back in her seat as did the rest as the large gamma beam was fired.

Armageddon

Kira watched from a distance as everything was going right he could tell by the ship and he smiled as the large gamma beam was fired.

Alliance Fleet

All alliance ships were still at the same location except for the Girty Lue. At first all the captains were surprised to see the ships falling back, but from what they saw it was like they were giving that much larger ship a path.

"What is going on here?" one asked, this happened during the last war but they could clearly see there was no Genesis anywhere so why were they retreating to that one single ship.

That question was soon answered.

They kept their assault up as they were going to use the open hole to get their nuclear force towards the Plants, all Agamemnon class ships launched their mobile armors with the nukes attached as they made their run for the Plants.

The supporting Nelson and Drake class ships gave them room and continued to fire on the retreating ships of the Zaft forces. All mobile suits kept up the assault but stayed near the ships.

Zaft forces

As per Kira's orders all ships fell back to the assigned point near the Plants but behind the Doomsday, and as they were falling back all they saw was the monstrous cannon that seemed to be charging.

The Minerva fell back as well after their battle with the Girty Lue but that ship seemed to disappear and fall back early.

Talia could only wonder what that massive cannon could do, but something about it was giving her and all others a terrible feeling.

All Zaft mobile suits got to their assigned location as it was killing most of them to leave while a nuclear force was just launched.

However as the Doomsday fired they all knew why.

With Kira

Kira watched the charging and he new his most prized possession would not fail him now, and that was clear as the large cannon fired.

Alliance Fleet

The cannon was extremely bright and like Kira hoped the beam expanded immediately after it was fired, this thing was even better then he thought it would be.

The alliance fleet moved closer as the nuclear force got close enough that they were just about to release their nukes, and that was when they saw the bright light.

All captains of all ships stood in their chairs, "What on earth?" one said.

Suddenly all alerts in all ships went off.

"Captain a massive heat source, its far worse then…" the man said as he didn't have time to finish the rest.

"Help us all," another captain said.

The large gamma beam struck right through them as all you could hear now were the anguished screams of the victims. The beam cut through all nuclear mobile armors, the mobile suits blew up shortly after that, it then reached the first wave of Drake and Nelson class ships and destroyed them immediately; lastly it blew right through the Agamemnon class ships incinerating them almost instantly.

The entire fleet lost about ninety five percent of the fleet in that one attack.

With Kira

Kira only had a small smile, his beam was far stronger then he first expected, but he believed he could do more with it, overall this was a complete success for the first test.

Immediately after the beam was fired it expanded the cannons width into almost a long triangle, Kira knew that Genesis could go a lot further in length but he was able to expand the width with the Doomsday Genesis cannon, destructive power overall was the same but range was it's limitation.

Kira watched as his team was around him; they were in complete shock and didn't say a word.

"Judgment has been pasted on that small group," was all Kira said to himself as they still had much more work to do.

Aprilious One

Ryu had a front row seat to the destruction, and like with Kira he had a small smile. With Gil out of the way the chairman's seat was all but his and with the councils support after the way he showed he could defend the Plants they were well on their way to having what they wanted.

Ryu sat back, today's test was successful but now their war would truly begin.

The council watched all the events and they were to say stunned, many couldn't believe the power of a single warship, but others Sarah's father included saw the opportunity here.

Zaft Fleet

Like with Kira's team all were stunned, they never expected to see something like Genesis again, but many were overjoyed with the power it demonstrated, with that they wouldn't have to worry about another attack again. Ryu's support from the military would grow big time.

On the Minerva the entire crew was silent.

Talia watched in horror as the ship had that much fire power.

Arthur nearly fell off his feet, "Did you see that Captain?"

Talia looked over at him, "Such power…why is it that it seems history is about to repeat itself?"

"I…I thought the Minerva was the most powerful ship Zaft had, I was not even aware of that thing being built, how could they conceal something that large…I…" Arthur was rambling on as Talia silenced him.

"That commander Hibiki had something to do with this…I can't help but feel all that has happened is because of him, this will not be the end," Talia said.

Orb Fleet

With the Girty Lue

After his call out to the Archangel the beam was fired, Neo as was the rest of the crews attention was diverted to the large beam, and when it struck all they saw was explosions destruction and chaos, that was by far the worst ship ever built.

When it was over all were stunned.

"Impossible," the captain of the ship could only say as the majority of the fleet was now gone.

Neo looked out into space, this was defiantly not the outcome that was supposed to happen, and now Zaft had a weapon that could easily turn all natural extinct.

Near the Archangel

Athrun, Yzak and Dearka were the only ones now left outside as Kira wiped out all Orb machines before his departure.

Yzak and Dearka were left speechless, first the chairman and now this.

Athrun saw all the devastation that Kira had now caused, he had built that devilish warship with the intent to wipe out humanity, the only good thing that came out of this was the Orb fleet was not near the alliance fleet which spared them, but they couldn't just standby here either, if that ship could fire again then they were all in a world of hurt because the Orb fleet would be next.

Athrun looked at the devastation, "It didn't have to be this way Kira," was all Athrun said to himself.

Archangel

There worst fears were realized when that Doomsday was fired as all fell back in their chairs.

The archangel crew remembered this from the last war and seeing something like Genesis again was something no one ever wanted to see again.

Murrue clutched the side of the captains chair, she partially blamed herself, their was now way she could have known what her actions in the past would lead up to this, but Kira's words still did effect her.

Cagalli was like the rest in full disbelief, the brother she knew was defiantly not this man, it was like Kira said himself Kira Yamato was dead, and all that was left was Kira Hibiki the killer. Cagalli was glad Athrun was safe but she knew he would be like the rest, he knew Kira the longest out of anyone here.

Athrun may have known him the longest but someone else felt ten times worse, Lacus' hands were shaking, she never pictured her reunion with Kira like this, he words earlier tore deep into her heart, and now his actions about shattered her soul.

After all they had went through this was all that was left, only a shell of the former Kira, this was not the Kira she loved, this was not the hero of the last war, this was another Rau Le Crueset.

Lacus' breathing was heavy as she clutched her heart, "This can't be you Kira…" Lacus said softly that no one could hear.

The crew of the Archangel was interrupted by the communication that was coming from the Girty Lue.

"If you want to live I suggest we fall back," the voice said.

Murrue was pushed out of her thoughts as the voice was so familiar, "Identify yourself."

A picture was now shown on screen, "This is Commander Neo Lorronke, if you want your fleet to survive I suggest you follow me."

Cagalli now jumped on screen, "Orb is a sovereign nation, we are under no circumstances obligated to follow the alliances rules."

Neo saw her, "This isn't an alliance officer talking at the moment, you see that power, if were not cautious both the alliance and Orb will be destroyed, all I am offering is a temporary truce until were out of here," Neo replied.

Lacus was a little out of it and didn't respond she was a little in shock.

Murrue looked at Cagalli, for some reason she could trust him.

"Miss Cagalli, I believe that will be the best cause for now, we must fall back," Murrue told her.

Cagalli looked out again at the destruction, and that warship, "Granted," Cagalli said sitting back down in her chair.

Murrue then ordered the officers to spread the word to the other Orb ships, they were in full retreat, they knew to little and didn't have the fire power to match that ship.

"Recall all the mobile suits, were getting out of here," Murrue said as the flash was given.

Outside Athrun and the others saw it, they were angry but now was not the time to fight, they didn't care about the alliance fleet they were angry about the fire power Kira built and would now likely use to pass his judgment that he felt he had the right to do.

Yzak and Dearka immediately fell back as Athrun took one last look, he couldn't see Kira anymore but this would not be the last time they would met.

Athrun followed as all three boarded the archangel.

The ships started turning around as Neo came on line again.

"We can regroup at the lunar base, I know you are not part of the alliance but we do have a temporary truce," Neo said again.

Murrue couldn't put her hand on it, but the guy sort of reminded her of Mu, despite the mask his manner was the very same.

Cagalli was in total shock but as she glanced over to Lacus she really felt for her, Lacus finally found Kira and to find out Kira had been doing this since he left, plus the other reasons Cagalli understood her well.

The fleet was able to turn around as they started falling back, but the Zaft forces made no chase, they were letting them go.

Doomsday

Right after Willard pushed the final button the ship shook like crazy. The crew kept an eye on the stats and saw that despite that everything was in the green, and right after it was fired the ship gave a final jolt as things returned to normal.

Willard and the entire bridge crew saw turned to the screen as they watched from the ships cameras, the cannon was so large that they couldn't see in the front, but then they saw the devastation.

Most of the crew was in shock that commander Hibiki built this thing with that much fire power, but these were Ryu's people and the test was extremely successful.

The crew around the ship cheered the success as they saw the cannon destroy all in its path.

Once the cannon finished firing it powered down and damage was very minimal but they expected some after every shot, overall Kira built the perfect weapon.

Sarah couldn't believe Kira created this machine, she now understood why he was away so much working on this the past year, but somewhere deep down she didn't ever think he would go this far with a weapon, it was true he just saved all the Plants, and she was glad for that, but now she wondered what he would do next. Sarah knew him well enough to know his hatred would not just stop here, she hoped he would only use this defensively but she knew deep down he would not be satisfied with this victory.

"Status report," Willard said.

"Engines are undamaged sir," one officer said.

"Controls are operational captain," the helmsman said.

"Weapons never lost power sir," the tactical officer reported.

"Fusion power reactor stable," the chief mechanic reported from a different part of the ship.

"Communication is running well captain," Sarah reported in.

Willard smiled, Kira's machine was incredible, the range was a lot less then they thought, but with everything else that wouldn't be hard to compensate.

"Cannon report," Willard said in his phone.

A cannon operators reported from their deck, "Cannon fire was a success, minor damage to the cannon, but that was expected, however we cannot recharge until repairs are done, recharging time unknown," the lead officer said.

Willard frowned, "Get on it; I want to have the report ready for the commander and chairman as soon as possible."

"Yes sir," they replied as they signed off.

"It appears they will get their chance to run away for now," Willard said softly to himself.

"Sir, the Orb fleet is retreating," another officer said.

Willard smiled, "Let them go," he said turning over to Sarah, "Get in touch with the commander and give him the report."

"Yes sir," Sarah said turning back to her equipment, she didn't hear anything about Kira for awhile and she was worried so she got right on that.

Space

With Kira

The Armageddon had not moved at all since the shot and while others were I shock at the power of his most prized creation Kira had never felt better, his creation had just struck its first judgment with many more to come.

Kira oversaw the carnage that his warship created when he got a special signal from the chairman.

"Well done commander," Ryu's face appeared on screen.

Kira looked up, "The range is less then I expected but the power was just as I expected sir."

Ryu slightly smiled, "The Orb fleet is retreating."

"Shall I pursue them sir, I was close to finishing them off," Kira added.

"Not necessary Kira, we cannot look to hasty at this point, we demonstrated our new power to the alliance and as foolish as they are will not surrender, in fact they will most likely try this again, let them go for now and return to Aprilious as soon as possible," Ryu told him.

"I understand Excellency, I will dock my machine in its rightful place then return on the Doomsday, I will have a full report on the ship for you that way," Kira added.

"As you wish, well done Kira and remember this is only the beginning, we will have to report this to the council then we will start our campaign to clear all of space of the alliance, after that the war should of escalated enough that it cannot be stopped then the council will no longer have any use for us," Ryu said seriously.

Kira smiled, "I will be back shortly," Kira said signing off.

Kira placed his head back in the seat, and was once again struck with another splitting headache, he immediately took his pills this time, his breathing was once again heavy, "It is still not enough to make the pain go away, I will not stop until all have had their judgment passed on to them."

Kira was not satisfied with this and only by finishing what he started could ever satisfy the rage that was in his heart.

Kira still saw his team member's suits close to him, they hadn't said a word.

Kira came on the com, "We are returning, your destination is the Doomsday," Kira said not waiting for a reply as he fired up the thrusters again and flew off towards the Doomsday.

The others followed him still in initial shock, now they had to station themselves on that devilish warship, but from the tone of Kira now was not a time to cross him as they fired up their machines and followed him.

Doomsday Bridge

As per the captain's orders Sarah got on the wire trying to raise Kira.

"Commander Hibiki please respond," Sarah called out into the radio.

She only got silence for a few minutes as Kira was on the wire with Ryu and turned off his communication to anything else so Ryu wouldn't be disturbed.

"Come in commander…" she said with a worry tone.

"We are returning now," Kira's voice finally came on.

She only sighed in relief, "You are cleared for landing commander, the captain wishes to see you once you have arrived, I am glad your alright."

"Understood," was all Kira said as he really wasn't listening, his mind was on what they had to do now.

Doomsday

Hangers

As Kira flew in he saw that their fleet was remaining as extra security for a little while longer, but their damage and causalities were practically at zero which was a good thing, now that the treaty was violated by them their support from earth would be completely cut off so they had to do with the resources they had for now, however with the power they had now until they started their assault on earth they should be alright, but first thing was first they had to completely wipe their presence out from space.

Kira saw his creation and saw that the Doomsday didn't have a scratch on it, but the cannon needed some minor repairs, nothing he didn't expect.

Kira looked back at his team and came on the radio, "Fall in to your individual hangers."

The team heard Kira's orders and did what he said. The Doomsday was designed with four hangers one for each machine.

They started falling to the correct ones. Shinn's and Rey's were on the opposite sides of the ship, Luna's was towards the bottom and Kira's was right beneath the bridge above the Genesis Cannon.

Kira got to his hanger as it opened and he flew in landing and walking in, the doors to space shut as the doors inside opened and he walked inside. Once inside their was a large space for the Armageddon to rest, Kira's hanger was the largest as he had packs that could be incorporated on to the machine for various types of combat, but Kira knew until they got on earth the packs were all but useless.

The mechanics inside were the same ones Kira used to build this machine, the machine stopped in place as Kira began powering it down, once the armor was switched off he was finished.

Kira sat still for a second, as he looked around he saw the packs hanging from the ceiling and the robotic arms that would install them; on the opposite side he saw spare parts for the Armageddon as well as other tools.

Kira sighed as he opened the cockpit and walked on to the lift; he was still in his uniform and didn't put a flight suit on yet, so he could just report straight to the bridge.

Kira lowered the lift as the mechanics checked the specs out.

All saluted as he reached the ground, "The captain is waiting for you sir."

One glare from Kira made all of them shake, "Just do your job, and I will do mine, I didn't know they hired you as a messenger," Kira said annoyed.

"My…my apologies sir," the mechanic said nearly shaking, Kira's voice had that effect and his eyes stated not to push him that far.

Kira walked out as he entered the one room that would lead to the main part of the ship, inside was a locker and a sitting room for his use only, each pilot had one and they stored their flight gear inside and would wait here if on alert status.

Kira didn't need to change as he just walked right out and to the ship.

Kira's team however had their hangers very similar, but smaller, they were each designed for the machine, all had spare parts, weapons and their own mechanics. Luna's was a tad larger as the Impulse had transformational parts as well, but Kira's was the largest.

Each got out as the mechanics spoke to them and they were to head to ready room one which was near the bridge and standby.

Each had the same room and they got out of their flight suits and into a uniform that was waiting, they noticed that their uniforms were a little different as they were similar to the red uniforms but now they had a blue strip running along the sides which meant they were from Kira's team. They had new flight gear as well, each changed into their uniforms and then walked out and saw this ship was very different then the Minerva that they were on.

Body of the ship

When Kira walked out the first thing that anyone would notice was the artificial gravity, their was no need to float around, but if going into combat it was turned off to prevent injury, but for now it was turned on and it was like you were on the surface.

The hallways were all the same color a dark blackish grey, the Doomsday was divided into sections, it was extremely large and the sides of the ships were for all tactical weapons operators, many floors of the ship were crew's quarters, the ship was large enough that all could have their own room, Kira never cared about those things when he built this ship but it just turned out that way as they had a lot of extra room on the inside. Their were several briefing rooms on all floors, even small recreation rooms, once again Kira didn't care but he had to keep the crew satisfied for the time being.

The top floor underneath the bridge was the most import floor as that was for the captain, Kira and only top members of this crew their rooms were far better then the rest, the captain and Kira each had a small office next to there room that they could get into from the inside, their was one more room but it wouldn't be used that much as it was for Ryu, but now that he was chairman he wasn't expected to be in battle that much, but Kira made sure if the chairman would be here he would have it.

The engine rooms were located towards the back, but the center of the ship was the most important as the Fusion reactor was located there, Kira did his best to keep that protected as solid titanium mixed with anti beam armor and just about every measure necessary to keep it safe was located there.

The Genesis cannon was located in the front of the ship and that was just as protected, but it had the outside weapons to defend it as well, but Kira didn't take any chances, even the cannon itself was trans phase armor, it would only activate if impacted, Kira did that to save power, if you were going to destroy that cannon no beam weapon would be able to do it and Kira made sure of that when he built it.

Kira made his way towards the elevator as he went up towards the bridge, taking a few more pills just in case, his nerves were not the best now as he was still upset he couldn't finish off the people that truly made him this way.

Bridge

When the elevator opened, Kira walked in and saw his bridge.

The top by the elevator held two command seats, one was not present at the moment so it was placed in the center next to a command consol, it was railed off but Kira could get to the middle floor if he unlocked the opening in the rail but overall not even Willard could enter this floor, it was only for Kira and Ryu, there two more elevators were seen on the second floor of the bridge, it was in three sections. The top where Kira was railed off with its own elevator.

The second floor was where the captains chair was along with the communication and tactical councils along with a few others, their were two elevators on each side and stairs that led down to the bottom floor of the bridge, these two elevators were for the bottom and middle floors. The bottom floor was where the helmsman's and the rest of the counsels were located.

Kira walked out as he was noticed, and all stood.

Sarah was relieved but not at the look in his eyes.

All saluted even the captain, "Great victory today commander."

"What is the status of my cannon?" Kira asked.

"I will send the data up to your terminal," Willard told him.

"We are to head to Aprilious One immediately, the chairman orders," Kira said before turning around and sitting in his chair.

Willard gave the orders as they turned the ship around.

Kira looked at his terminal, he had all the data of the ship, he could see if anything was amiss on this long terminal, Kira however went to the computer and looked at the report, they had crew working on the cannon as they speak.

Kira looked at the recharging time, "Five hours, once repairs were done," Kira said a little angrily, that meant on earth that could be three to five days.

Kira however would have to look at that later as he had a meeting to go to and he had to assist in getting Ryu confirmed as the official new chairman, but they had the council wrapped around their fingers so it wouldn't be too hard.

Orb Fleet

Archangel

The archangel and the rest of the fleet bugged out as quickly as they could, they had no information on that massive ship and they had to regroup and play it safe at this point.

"Captain we are out of their range and they are not pursuing," Newman told her.

Murrue snapped out of it, "Stay at alert status for now," Murrue said as Arnold did just that.

Murrue then sighed.

"Do you really think it is a good idea to head to the lunar base?" Miriallia asked.

Cagalli looked at her, "It is all we can do at this point Kira…If Kira will actually do what he says he will take that monster straight to earth and…" Cagalli couldn't finish as thinking about the pain and devastation would be unbearable.

Lacus flinched a little, she couldn't believe it still, the Kira she knew wouldn't do this, sure he wasn't the same after the war but he still gave her the genuine smile and he gave her his love, how could that of just changed into this. Her heart was shattered but one thing was clear Kira couldn't have become this on his own, and she knew that the new chairman had to of done something to him, she didn't want to believe Kira would do this on his own.

Lacus looked at her picture again, what would she do now?

Lacus clutched it to her heart as she would not let this go, she had to speak to him again, she wouldn't stop until she understood why, and if the chairman did this then he would not be safe from her, she just had a great fear that maybe Kira did this on his own, but she would not believe that, like she noticed others doing.

Athrun returned to the bridge and put his hand on Cagalli's shoulder, one thing they did know, they would not let even Kira destroy what they worked so hard to build, they had little answers but that was a fact, if Kira was truly gone like he claimed then he is now an enemy.

Aprilious One

Headquarters

The council was very relieved about the events but now they had an investigation of the former chairman's death, they had to confirm Ryu, and they had to decide what to do next now that they were near war, and the meeting was called.

Ryu's office

Ryu was very proud of the events, with both the first and second phases complete the start of the third would be their true judgment. Ryu knew he covered himself and Kira up well in the chairman's death, with the sucking up he and Kira did to the council he should have no problems getting the conformation of being worthy enough, and what they would do next was very simple, humanities judgment had now begun.

Doomsday with Kira

Kira sat down as he went over the report of the cannon, he knew what would be next and as soon as they could finish the political crap the sooner they would begin the next step and that was a full out attack on the alliances lunar base, they would drive them from space completely then do what they had to on earth. Kira of course would settle what he had to with his former comrades as well; the war to end all wars had now begun.

To be continued…

(A\N): Sorry for the late updating, I just took a small break and since I started writing a year ago tomorrow I decided to update all three of my stories. I wanted this chapter to go into detail about the warship; the next chapter will be the council meetings and Orb's decision in an uneasy treaty proposal. I don't know what story I will stick with so I don't know when it will be up. See you later.
