Chapter Sixteen

Official

Battlefield Ruins

The Zaft fleet saw the exact same thing as the earth alliance fleet, but the only difference was is that it was a massive victory for them. The reaction on the massive warship was mixed however.

The younger soldiers, people who have lost loved ones or family members, and those in general that held distaste for naturals praised the massive warship and the job it had just done.

The older more experienced and those that saw the destruction of the last battle of the last war had mixed feelings, on the one hand it without a doubt saved their homes and the people, but then again they felt as if it was a little to extreme. These people may have had their questions but they would not act on them. Kira and Ryu made sure when they ordered the first attack that started this that all that would stand in their way would be destroyed and they succeeded.

The news they received about their chairman's death was not remembered by many after this massive victory, but eventually they would and Ryu had his plans as Gil was set up to look corrupt and incompetent so that would take care of any suspicions that Kira and Ryu planned all this out.

The Zaft ships watched as whatever was left of the alliance quickly retreated, they were so cocky in trying to nuke them again and now they fled like the cowards they were.

Orders quickly came through to all Zaft ships to return to their positions and wait for further instruction.

Minerva

This was without a doubt the only ship that held those feelings at the moment as Talia still processed what had happened, Gil's loss at this time didn't make much sense and after what Kira pulled on her ship she wasn't trusting him at all.

"We have orders to return ma'am," Meyrin said.

Talia looked at Arthur, "Return to base, I have matters I have to look into," Talia said as orders were given and they began returning to base.

"What awesome power that ship has, I couldn't believe it," Arthur rambled on.

"A little too much power, why wasn't I informed of such a ship in construction?" Talia said knowing Gil wouldn't keep this from her, but he did.

"I am not sure ma'am, maybe he never got around to it," Arthur added.

"I have to look into something once we return," Talia said but then Meyrin got another message.

"Captain, we have a message from headquarters."

"Place it through," Talia said.

The message was coded from Ryu himself as the orders were they were to remain at base and at alert status, none were permitted to leave the ship.

"What's going on now?" Arthur said as that was a little strange.

Talia sat back, it was like were preparing to move out again and now she couldn't look into what she wanted to, it was like they knew somehow she was going to try something.

With little she could do now but dock and wait so she gave the final orders and had to see just what they would do next, and she didn't have a very good feeling about it.


Aprilious One

Councils Chambers

As the events played out and the last powerful shot was fired you could say a little shock was in the councils faces, on the one hand they won a great victory on the other they violated the treaty by having a weapon of that caliber.

"I didn't think it was possible to ever see that weapon again, and this time it is mobile," a council member said.

Another stood up, "True, however you can't rule out that the weapon just saved all our citizens."

"It won't take other counties long to figure out we had to of built that thing during peace times, this makes us look like we were planning war all along," another said.

Sarah's father stood up, "If not for that we would have been destroyed, I see that weapon built only for self defense."

All looked over to him, "From the first report this was commander Hibiki's design correct?"

During the battle when the ship was revealed Ryu sent this report to the council, he didn't want to blind side them and in a way this made him look like he included the council in the event, that would earn him points as not overusing his power as he would go to the council and not hold anything back.

"Yes that is correct, and if I am sure your daughter is involved with him so did she not ever say anything?" another asked.

"No she did not, however it was at the chairman's level of being classified so she was just following orders, but enough about that we have to move forward from here," her father responded.

"The vice chairman and commander Hibiki will be joining us shortly, after we get the report we have the matter of the former chairman's death and what to do about the alliance," another responded.

"Not to mention we have to confirm commander Ryu as the new chairman," one said.

"I say we hear everything first then base our decision on what his plans are," another said.

"Agreed, but just take into account he did very well in this last battle," Sarah's father added.

All nodded as now they waited for the two main guests to arrive.

Ryu's office

Right after Ryu signed off with Kira, Kira quickly contacted him back and told him to give special orders to the Minerva, after hearing Kira's explanation about not trusting that captain on the matter of the chairman, Ryu decided he didn't want anything hindering his conformation so his orders were for all of them to remain until they moved out again.

Ryu was quick to move the soldiers around inside the capital, many of them were loyal to his cause so Ryu was making them look like they were investigating the chairman's death, and while they were doing that the evidence Kira retrieved and what they had set up would easily be placed in front of the council.

After Ryu sent the order for the Minerva to remain he was going over the papers that he would have to present to the council.

One soldier entered with the final report.

The soldier walked up to the desk and saluted, "We are almost ready Excellency."

Ryu looked up; making the soldier very uneasy, the only darkness that could rival Kira's was in this mans eyes.

"What is the status on Durandal's report?" Ryu said quickly.

The man slowly spoke, "At your request our teams have been going in and out of the office with maximum security code entrance, all in all it looks like they have been investigating the chairman's death."

Ryu smiled, he would give the details he made up directly to the council but the team he sent inside made it look like what he would say was the truth.

"Make sure they stay stationed a little while longer, how is the council?" Ryu said as he was keeping tabs on them as well.

"They are still in the meeting room, from the reports they are debating like always," the soldier spoke.

Ryu looked straight at him, "Inform them our meeting will happen within the hour, now go," Ryu said with indication that the soldier better follow.

The soldier quickly saluted again as he turned around and left.

Ryu had everything set up, now all he needed was the council's conformation and their role was now complete, it was to that cause he was playing things so cautiously, the council's use to them would be up after that.

Ryu checked the screens as he saw the Doomsday approaching, he and Kira rehearsed this moment for a long time so their was no need to prepare for anything else, just do their thing in front of the council, get Ryu confirmed, then their plans could almost be executed, they just had to wait for one more thing before they would have full control of the situation and Ryu knew the alliance would not fail him on that part, they were predictable but that is jumping the gun a little, right now he focused on his conformation.


Doomsday

Main Briefing Room

Kira's team was ordered to head here and here they would remain.

Shinn's cocky attitude earned him another beating by Kira, but he was up and around again.

All three were waiting for some kind of orders but it looked like none were coming as of yet.

"You have to learn to watch your tone Shinn," Luna told him seriously.

"I will not bow down in front of him!" Shinn angrily replied holding his head which was still in pain.

Despite what was going on Rey was silent, the news of Gil's death was affecting him.

Luna stood up, "You better start, the commander…the commander almost shot my sister for just trying to make a point to the Minerva captain, I don't think he will keep on being lenient with you forever," Luna said out of concern.

Shinn crossed his arms, "I don't see what makes him so special, he breaks about every Zaft protocol and no one does a thing about it, don't you find that strange?"

Luna thought for a moment, "The chairman could of but I hear that commander Hibiki is in the back pocket for the man about to take over so I don't think that will happen, just tone yourself down," Luna said not wanting anyone to get hurt.

"He made a fool out of me…the only thing he ever said that I will listen to is to hate him and get stronger, I will not stop until he is defeated by my hand," Shinn vowed right there.

Luna and Rey knew he vowed that the last time and it was clear this commander Hibiki at full power was in a league of his own, if they even seen him at full power yet.

"You two should be focusing on what we do now, the alliance won't take too kindly to this ship and I suspect we will be in battle shortly," Rey finally said.

Both Shinn and Luna looked at him.

Shinn smiled, "All the better then, I will defeat more enemies then the commander, then I will get my glory."

All they could do was shake their heads, Shinn was going to do something one day they feared would make the commander cross that line.

Bridge

On the bridge all worked as they were still adjusting to the new warship.

Though the bridge was designed in three floors all were able to hear easily.

On the top floor at the lone council was where Kira was working, he was using his god like speed to finish a report he could give to the council on the report of his ship. Kira knew Ryu could handle the rest and Kira knew his role was very simple, and he was working on that now.

Willard on the second floor of the bridge was overseeing all the ships functions and sending all data up to Kira's terminal.

Sarah glanced several times up to Kira's station but not once had he looked from his council to anywhere, he was completely engrossed in whatever he was doing, she still had something to say to him and she didn't want to hold it back any longer then possible, she feared what his reaction would be, but then again and reaction was better then how he was now.

On the lower level of the bridge the helmsman had the ship on autopilot as he worked out all the details on how to pilot the thing to its full potential, for such a large ship he was shocked at how maneuverable the thing actually was.

Willard was currently monitoring the repairs of the cannon and they were moving along quickly, they were finally able to determine the recharging time once the repairs were complete and for a ship that was quite impressive but Kira's reaction was not what he was hoping as that was taking to long in his mind.

"Is that the final report?" Willard said looking over to his tactical officer.

"Yes sir, I have sent the final data," the officer replied.

"Operations?" Willard called out.

"I just sent it over to you sir," he replied.

"Engines?" Willard said looking to his screen.

Their chief mechanic came on, "Reactor data sent sir."

"Communications?" Willard said looking at Sarah.

"Finished sir," she replied quickly looking up to Kira and back to her station.

Willard was satisfied and sent all the final data up to Kira's terminal.

With Kira

When Kira received the data he had one thing on his mind but something else was creeping in, and that was the conversations he had with his former allies.

All were such fools in his mind, what he was doing was the only correct path, Athrun told him what right he had to judge, and Kira response was he was chosen to lead humanity down a different path that was what he was born for and that was what he was doing.

The conversations with the others, his sister always the indecisive fool, his former captain and friends were still the same, all of them would get the judgment he was going to pass, all would suffer for what they put him through all would pay for their crimes against him, they made him suffer and he would make them experience everything ten times over.

One thought however crossed Kira's mind as he saw her face for the first time in all these years. Lacus still spouted off her nonsense, how she could believe all people would live in peace, still she didn't understand. She should have understood him but she didn't. Even back when she was with him she left every chance she got to the Plants, she always put foolish people above him, she kept fighting for a world that could never truly exist and that made him angry.

She above all else made his suffering the worse, but yet something was different about her face.

As Kira was recalling this his head was splitting again, Kira's breathing became heavy as he quickly pulled out his pills again.

A few on the bridge noticed this, but would dare not say a thing.

Kira popped he didn't know how many but as he popped them the pain went away.

Kira then slammed his fist down on the council making the bridge look again.

All this pain was their fault, his suffering, the memories of the first war would not leave his head, and this was humanities fault and their fault.

"They must die, only then will my suffering stop," was all Kira told himself as his breathing slowed again.

His resolve had never been stronger, both them and humanity must be destroyed.

The bridge crew was very shaky to say something as they knew his tendency, especially Sarah, she knew what had just happened when he reached for his pills, but she also knew he wasn't very happy if questioned about it.

Willard ordered them back to work as he realized he had to speak back to the commander.

"Commander?" Willard finally called back.

Kira heard his voice, "Speak," Kira said as he was fully regaining himself.

"We are prepared for docking," Willard said as they had arrived at Aprilious.

Kira popped two more as he looked up and out the window, "Take us in, once we dock finish repairs and run simulations, we will not be here to long, I will speak with the chairman alone."

"Yes sir," Willard responded as he gave the orders.

Sarah noticed Kira's chilling voice had returned, so it looked liked he was back to what she knew as normal.

Kira gathered all the things for the report as he watched his massive ship dock in a large shuttle bay; they had to clear it out for this single ship.

As the ship came to a stop Kira looked down at Willard, "Do as I said, and do not disappoint me," Kira said before turning around and walking to the private elevator.

Willard knew that response as Ryu used it several time and that meant don't question, follow orders, and make sure you don't fail.

Kira got off the elevator as he headed for the ships exit, his mind was cleared as all other things he knew he would soon deal with as Kira knew what Ryu was going to do once he was confirmed.

Once outside a car was waiting along with a few soldiers Ryu sent.

All saluted as they saw Kira.

"Commander the chairman is waiting," one said.

"Then we waste no time," Kira replied getting inside as the rest followed and they drove off.


Aprilious One Headquarters

The car soon arrived as Kira got out, one look and he could tell the mood around the place had already changed, when Gil was running the show people were way to loose not much of a military presence, but now Ryu had already began changing the policies as soldiers were at every exit and on patrols all over the place, this was a good sign.

Kira walked in as many people eyed him, his unique uniform meant his high rank, but others knew him as the pilot of that machine that fought off the first attack that actually Kira and Ryu had set up, but it got him fame and recognition from it.

Kira was heading up to Ryu's office as he saw what was going on, and he knew as soon as they had full control things were going to change a lot more around here.

The soldiers guarding Ryu's door knew Kira as they opened the door for him and Kira walked inside.

Ryu's office

Ryu was just waiting on Kira and as soon as he heard the door he slightly smiled as he stood up.

Kira walked in and saluted immediately.

"Approach," Ryu replied as Kira walked towards him and saluted again.

"Congratulations on your victory Excellency," Kira said as Ryu slightly smiled.

"We have only begun Kira, I would like your full report, but it is best not to let the foolish council wait any longer, come with me," Ryu said as they began walking out.

As they walked out Kira walked a little ways behind him, "This is disgraceful sir."

"What is?" Ryu said.

"No one stops and pays their respects sir," Kira said as on the satellite Kira would have heads if this happened.

People were busy that only a few stopped and stood at attention, mostly the soldiers as they were under Ryu's pocket, but the staff just walked around like they were at the same level.

"That is a matter we will handle at a later time commander, for now we are still at a critical time, let it go for now," Ryu said moving a hand through his blonde hair.

"Yes sir," Kira replied as they continued their walk towards the chambers.

"Tell me Kira," Ryu said.

Kira looked at him.

"Were you able to satisfy any of your hunger in meeting your former allies?" Ryu asked.

Kira grew hateful but not to him, "Until I destroy them and our world is made my hatred will never subside."

Ryu smiled as he recognized the truth in his tone.

"You will get your chance again Kira, once I have the conformation we will launch a full out attack on their lunar base, from what I am gathering already Orb will be forced into an alliance treaty," Ryu told him.

"Orb and the alliance is all the same to me sir," Kira replied.

"Our goal is to get them out of space, once they are gone we can start on the earth," Ryu replied as they had a full out extermination plan planned out, it would be easy just to fire shots from the Doomsday from space but that wouldn't accomplish their FINAL goal, so they had to do this the hard way.

"Just one thing sir," Kira said.

"What is it?" Ryu asked.

Kira looked at him, "On the battlefield, it was hard to describe but I felt a presence of something or someone."

Ryu looked back, Kira's abilities were trained on the satellite but this was the first time he put them to use.

"Explain," Ryu said.

"I think it came from the alliance fleet…it was as if someone I haven't seen in a long time was there, it was a strange presence, almost a feeling of someone," Kira said.

Ryu looked at him, new types like Kira could easily sense the presence of others with similar abilities, this made him think, but he had no answers for that, "Ignore it for now, we will deal with it later."

"Yes sir," Kira said as they finally arrived at the councils chambers.

Ryu nodded to the soldiers as he quickly looked back to Kira, "I will handle most things as you know, when asked do what we went over."

Kira nodded, "Yes sir."

Ryu turned back as the council doors were opened and both went in.


Councils Chambers

The council waited patiently and as soon as they heard the council doors open all stood up as two figures walked in.

Ryu was first with Kira right behind.

"Be seated," Ryu said as he and Kira walked over towards the chairman's chair.

Ryu sat down as Kira remained standing right behind him.

"Shall we begin," Ryu said.

One council member stood up, "First congratulations are in order, your leadership led to the safety of the plants," he said to Ryu.

Ryu only nodded, "As you guys know the threat is still real and we should spend as much time on that so I move that we precede with the conformation hearings."

Another stood up, "First things first sir, I noticed you had an investigation team working on chairman Durandal's assassination, I believe it only appropriate we handle that first."

This man doesn't know his role, but for now they had to play along and Ryu was ready for this matter, Ryu reached into his pocket under the table and pressed a button on his communicator as he then sat back.

"Your right of course, from what I have gathered…" Ryu said as the council doors opened up as a few soldiers walked in.

Ryu had this planned, they were standing by outside with all the evidence he made and when this was brought up Ryu pressed his communicator and that was their cue to walk in.

"What is the meaning of this?" a council member asked.

Ryu stood up, "These are the lead investigators…I received a report earlier I didn't want to bring up about the chairman until they were finished, but now is a good time as any."

The council looked at him.

Ryu nodded to them as they began setting things up.

Ryu looked at the council, "It is with deep regret that I inform you that chairman Durandal was assassinated because of the corrupt scandal he was involved in."

The others looked completely confused.

"Surely you are not placing blame on the deceased, I knew chairman Durandal," an older council member said.

Ryu looked at him, "You knew him but not good enough, this was loaded from the security cameras in his room as well as the other evidence we uncovered in his office and residence."

All looked at the main screen as Ryu went on.

"Chairman Durandal proposed an idea called the Destiny Plan, which you can see all details on the screen," Ryu said.

The council looked on in shock; this was absurd in what he was trying to do.

"This is horrible," Sarah's father said.

"That was not all, the chairman was also conspiring to commit murder on Lacus Clyne," Ryu said.

Kira flinched at that name.

"For what purpose?" another asked.

Ryu showed them the pictures of Meer.

"This young women Meer Campbell, was surgically created to look like the real Lacus Clyne, Durandal was planning to use her influence to make people agree to the plan," Ryu said as he went on.

"We have her journal, and how the procedure was done, as well as interviews Durandal made…as well as a confession from this fake," Ryu said showing all the evidence.

Kira remembered this well, he easily manipulated Meer to showing him everything; he had his fun with her then eliminated her, foolish girl she was.

"This is insane," another council member said as everything was right there.

"One thing sir, is it possible to speak with this Campbell?" Sarah's father asked.

Ryu shook his head, "No she is no longer living."

All looked over to him.

"Apparently the hotel explosion was her room, she was murdered, likely by the same people that killed the chairman," Ryu said.

"Who are these people?" another council member asked.

Ryu put the file of Leonard up on the screen, "This was a suspected traitor seeking to conspire with the alliance, my only conclusion in order for Durandal to make his plan work he had to contact the alliance, and somehow a disagreement happened and this man killed the chairman, probably the alliance ordered Leonard to."

The council was in small discussion with each other.

Ryu knew he had them, all the evidence was there.

Kira watched and everything was going Ryu's way.

Ryu went back and explained a few other things he had set up and it all made Gil look like a traitor and fool, and what they couldn't ignore was the evidence Ryu fabricated and gave to them.

After the discussion on him they all moved that Durandal was not worthy of his seat and his death was ruled an assassination by the alliance.

"With that taken care of, we can announce to the public, but now we have to move on to the conformation of the next chairman," Sarah's father said.

Ryu knew this was the moment of truth.

"First we review the facts, in the first war you had an outstanding military record commander Ryu," a council member said.

"Your homeland policies have kept our growth moving forward," another said.

"Your actions today have shown excellent leadership skills," another said.

"However does he have enough experience," an older one said.

Ryu looked over and he held in his glare.

"I believe so," Sarah's father said.

"I move we determine how he is going to handle this crisis first," the older one said.

A few liked that idea; they were in bad times at the moment.

"I believe it can't harm anything," another said.

Ryu sat back, he was ready.

"With the alliance posing such a large threat at the moment sir, how would you lead us against them?" the council person asked.

"To answer that I move to have commander Hibiki first give the report he has on the battle," Ryu said.

They looked at Kira then to themselves, which made sense.

"Granted," the older one said.

Kira saluted.

"Well commander, we practically haven't heard anything about you, I was told you were involved in the first war, but your records are no where," the older one said.

Kira looked right at the man, the older one almost froze, that man's eyes stared right through him, "My records were all but erased sir…I cannot discuss anymore then that."

A few were growing frustrated but Ryu knew he had it under control.

"I wish to talk only about the situation at hand," Kira said.

"Fair enough," Sarah's father answered, he knew the man his daughter was seeing was his ticket to the chairman's seat one day.

The council moved towards the big screen as it showed the Doomsday firing the genesis cannon.

"This is your design commander, along with your other machine, tell us how you accomplished such a task?" he asked.

Kira looked at him, he gave a brief explanation one Ryu and him rehearsed and it seemed to satisfy some.

"One thing though commander, this warship is in violation of the first treaty," one quickly said.

Kira looked at him as he froze, "Forgive my disrespect sir, but the world is not so black and white, this was designed because we knew the alliance would break their treaty, and I don't have to remind you sir that because of the funding and go ahead I got from the commander that all the Plants were saved, remember sir we were attacked first," Kira said in an icy tone.

The council couldn't object to that.

"Well said commander, you and commander Ryu deserve nothing but our gratitude for your hard work and dedication, all of us owe you that," Sarah's father said as all had to nod for that.

Kira then went on and gave them the report of the battle and the warship.

All were impressed.

"I see, now commander Ryu, what would you have us do now?" the older one asked Ryu.

Ryu looked at them, "What we do is simple, we don't give them another chance to attack us again, we launch our forces and take out what can hurt us the most, we destroy their lunar base."

A few looked around.

"Isn't that a little…" the old one said before Ryu stood up.

"I will not put the people's lives in danger anymore, the alliance will not stop until they succeed, need I remind you that they only need to get one attack right and we have to be right all the time or we are destroyed, we have to rid the alliance from space once and for all, and to start in the safest way is to completely destroy their lunar base," Ryu said.

"What about after that sir?" another said.

"Once we rid them from space we monitor their activities, if they try to launch anything into space again we destroy it, I move once we have them destroyed we enter into another treaty, one that stats they cannot enter into space again or risk a full military assault," Ryu said as he played his part to the council, of course they were going to assault earth as well, but he couldn't put that out right now.

"I believe that is an excellent plan," one said.

"I agree," another said as they were all tired of Zaft attacks and citizens were living in fear of a nuclear attack all the time, if they rid the alliance of Zaft presence people could probably feel at ease.

Others feel right about the idea but they were in the minority.

Sarah's father stood up, "All of us know the commander is qualified and we heard his plan, I say we move to vote."

All stood up as Ryu waited.

"I say we move to confirm him as the new chairman," her father said.

Kira and Ryu watched as the vote took place and it was unanimous even among those that were skeptical he got the conformation.

Ryu slightly smiled, now nothing could hold him back.

Kira slightly smiled as well, they could now plan for attack.

The meeting soon concluded as Ryu said he would call them again before the attack took place which was going to be shortly as they didn't want the alliance to get a chance to attack them.

Ryu shortly held a press conference after that with Kira standing behind him, the people were informed of the situation as many felt better with this new chairman, he didn't seem like he would give them a chance to attack again, Ryu didn't say the plan of attack but they knew they were in good hands with this man.

After the press conference Kira returned to the Doomsday as Ryu moved into his new office, and now he was preparing for what he had to do now.


Doomsday

Kira's Room

Once her duty shift was over Sarah went straight to Kira's room, she had the clearance and keycard to enter, she knew of what happened with the council and felt relieved that they were going to do something about the situation, but she did have something else on her mind and she had to tell Kira today, especially with this situation she had to let him know.

She waited for him to show and around night he finally did.

Once Kira got back to the ship he went to the bridge and gave a few orders to Willard as he told them to start preparing for battle, the Doomsday had the most vital role and Kira expected to move out as soon as tomorrow. Once Kira finished that council had him drained as he popped a few more of his pills as he returned to his room.

Kira was overlooking a file of the alliance lunar base when he entered.

He looked up and saw Sarah waiting for him.

"You're still up?" Kira said walking in as he took off his long uniform coat.

Sarah looked up at him, "I couldn't sleep yet…there…I had to speak to you first."

Kira didn't look up from his file as he took off his belt holding his two guns; Kira placed them on the table as he walked over towards the table.

"Make it quick, I have work to do," Kira said a little annoyed.

Sarah took a deep breath as she stood up and walked over to him, his back was to her as she placed her arms around his waste, she didn't feel him do anything, he didn't accept it and he didn't reject it.

Sarah didn't know how to tell him.

Kira suddenly got another headache as he removed her hands, and grabbed his pills again, this always happened especially at night.

"This has to end!" Kira finally shouted as he was tired of these headaches.

Sarah bent down to him, his eyes were empty again, but she knew one thing that would help him in this state, she quickly placed her hands on his head and kissed him passionately.

Kira placed the file on his desk as he quickly returned it; this one was thing he did to help his pain go away, other then his pills this helped as well.

He quickly picked her up placing her on his bed as they continued.

A little while later Sarah lay against his chest as Kira was once again going over the file, he seemed well back to normal in the way she only knew him to be.

She also knew this was perhaps one of the best times to tell him as well.

"Commander," she said slowly.

Kira didn't respond right away as he didn't look away from his file, "You have been trying to say something all night say it already," Kira said in his usual dark tone hoping she would tell him so she would leave him alone for awhile.

"I didn't think it could happen so easily, I just want you to know that first," she said quickly.

Kira still didn't look at her, now she was making no sense, great.

"I was shocked when I…" she said as Kira interrupted her.

"I have a battle to plan hurry up," Kira said quickly.

"I know, this is hard," she replied.

She looked up and saw his eyes weren't on her which made it easier.

"I'm pregnant," she finally said out loud as the burden was lifted from her shoulders.

She got no response as she looked up he was still scanning over his file, emotion wasn't in his eyes at all.

Kira heard and he was reacting in his own way, but it wasn't for the reason she was thinking.

"How long?" Kira finally said as this seemed like it was important.

Sarah was confused that was weird to ask.

"How long!" Kira said again more quickly and very annoyed.

She backed up a little, Two…it's about two weeks, I just found out the other day and then all this happened."

For some reason she noticed him calm down a little.

"Then I am still in the time window," Kira said as he finally placed his folder down.

Sarah once again thought that was a weird thing to say.

"You're not happy are you?" She finally asked.

Kira instead got up and walked over to what looked like a secured drawer.

Sarah watched him, "Coordinator birth rates are down and I didn't think I could get pregnant so easily but I was glad when I heard and I hoped…" she said as Kira got something out and walked back over to her.

Kira handed her something, "Take this."

Sarah took what looked to be a card of some kind.

Kira looked at her, "After this next battle you will head here, tell no one of this and not even your parents, do you understand?" Kira said seriously.

Sarah looked at the place, she never heard of it before, but Kira's eyes wouldn't take no for an answer.

Sarah nodded in agreement.

Kira reached out and placed his hand on her cheek, he had to keep up good terms especially now.

Sarah slightly smiled this seemed to work out.

Kira was about to say something when he got word that Ryu had arrived.

"I have to go," Kira said grabbing placing his uniform back on.

Kira bent down and kissed her gently as he walked out.

Sarah smiled as she laid back and looked at the card again, Kira took that better then she thought, but now what was he up to now, and this place why did they have to go there.

Armageddon's Hanger

Kira spotted Ryu at the hanger and saluted as he approached him.

Ryu looked at him, "Approach Commander."

"What brings you here Excellency?" Kira said.

"You will depart tomorrow, I have already put the military on alert, head out first thing and remain radio silence until you are in range of their base's radar, finish this for me Kira," Ryu said seriously.

Kira nodded, "Yes sir, it is with great pleasure that I will do so."

Ryu smiled.

"One thing though sir," Kira said.
