Chapter Nineteen
Lunar Battle Part Two
Lunar Space
"You cannot stop the inevitable Athrun, everyone will die," Kira said as both beam sabers met in a deadly clash.
Doomsday and Girty Lue
Girty Lue
Neo's ship was the only one near the center and the only one that could stop the Doomsday for the moment.
"What is our range?" Neo said looking at the goliath ahead of him.
"We need another two minutes sir," his officer said.
"Not good enough," Neo said but suddenly they got an alert.
"Sir, we have incoming!" another officer said quickly.
"Evade to port," Neo quickly said.
The Girty Lue turned the ship as quickly as possible and they got lucky that time as the shot missed by meters.
"That was close, keep up evasive action and get us into firing range, do not let that ship hit us," Neo said quickly.
The ship was lucky the Doomsday only fired one shot but that wouldn't be the last.
Doomsday
"Gottfried two has missed sir," the tactical officer said.
Willard looked at that ship, "That is definitely not a normal vessel…take more aggressive action, I will not report to the commander that we failed."
"Yes sir," the officers said quickly while they were now aiming all three Gottfried cannons, and the valiant cannons as well. The forward missile pods were opened and they were about to released a large payload.
"Weapons armed sir," the officer said.
"Sir they are closing into firing range," another officer said.
"Target that ship and fire," Willard said.
"Firing weapons," the officer said as the payload was released.
Archangel and Minerva
Minerva
The quick shot by the Archangel quickly made the Minerva crew evade the attack.
"Return fire, get us in a position to fire the Tanhoiser," Talia ordered to Arthur then looked back to Meyrin, "Order our mobile suits to intercept."
"Yes Ma'am," both Meyrin and Arthur said quickly.
Talia looked straight at the battlefield, somehow what they were doing was the correct thing, however she felt deep down that the overall picture was wrong.
The Minerva once again opened fire as they charged their main cannon.
Archangel
"They evaded the attack captain," the officer said.
Murrue knew that two events were going on for her crew at the moment, one the Minerva and the other which many kept glancing at was the other monitor where a battle with Kira was taking place.
"Captain, they are sending in their mobile suits, a few Orb suits have moved to intercept," Miriallia added.
"Let them handle it, charge the Lohengrin and prepare to fire," Murrue said but a warning was issued.
"We have incoming captain," Newman added doing his best to evade.
Cagalli was fixed on what was going on with Kira and Athrun that she wasn't paying attention but that soon changed.
The Archangel evaded the shot the best it could but it made contact with the starboard haul, the damage wasn't too bad for now but another shot from that angle and they would have problems.
The ship rattled a little as Murrue got a quick damage report.
"Aim both Gottfrieds and fire, load missile pods and fire," Murrue gave orders.
Cagalli turned her head to the battle for a minute but soon regretted it as when she looked back to the other monitor it wasn't a pretty sight.
Eternal and Zaft ships
The Eternal was holding it's own against the Zaft ships but Lacus like Cagalli had her mind on other things, what Kira said now made her suspicions about something fact, and she wasn't going to listen to it anymore.
"Dacosta prepare my Murasame for launch," Andrew said quickly.
"Yes sir…are you sure?" Dacosta said.
Andrew looked out of the front window on the bridge and showed him what was going on; many on this ship were paying attention to what was going on with Kira, especially Lacus.
Outside their main cannons did heavy damage to one Nazca class ship, but they were having trouble with the mobile suit attacks, the Orb fleet was busy defending their own ships and the alliance always had their own interest in mind so the Eternal was without pilots to defend it.
Dacosta knew the meaning, "I will get right on it sir," Dacosta said as Andrew started to leave but suddenly an outburst from Lacus stopped him and it wasn't directed at anyone on this ship.
Battlefield with Kira and Athrun
The Armageddon and Saviors sabers clashed as it was very clear the Savior alone wasn't any match for the Armageddon. Athrun was aware of that but he hoped to use his discipline and experience to counter that, but against Kira that was a little hard in an inferior machine to its opposition.
Dearka moved the Buster two around and aimed his long rang rifle; he had to get to the side and hope to separate the two.
The Buster two got in position and opened fire.
Kira got the alert as he pushed Athrun back and broke the stance.
"This has gone on far enough," Dearka said as he seemed a little angry which was rare on his part.
Athrun quickly returned his radio, "He is only doing that to get under your skin Dearka, don't allow it," Athrun quickly added knowing for a second he lost control, Kira brought up Nicol for that very reason.
Dearka calmed down and knew if they were going to win they had to play it smart.
Kira was completely silent but he heard every word, the reason for his silence however was for one thing and he was only making himself angrier.
"You will learn Athrun, nothing can stand against the will of his Excellency," Kira finally spoke again.
Athrun only looked at the machine, he wanted his one last chance to get through to Kira, but now it was final to him, his best friend was no more, he could only look at Kira as an enemy that was out to destroy everything they built.
Athrun returned his beam saber pulling out his rifle as he now was going to confirm something about that suit.
"Dearka now," Athrun said.
Dearka switched the long range rifle for the shotgun as he fired a barrage straight at Kira.
Kira got the alert as he moved his machine slightly but knew one contact with his armor and Dearka would regret that.
That was the chance Athrun wanted as he target the joint on the left leg by the knee of the Armageddon, that spot wasn't covered by armor.
Athrun waited as the barrage was close enough and he opened fire.
Kira got the alert but didn't give it a second look until the last second; Kira glanced over and saw where the shot was headed.
"Impressive," Kira said slightly before using his split second reflexes.
The Armageddon's left arm activated the shield generator creating a shield and Kira lowered it to protect that joint.
The beam made contact with the shield as Kira used the speed of the Armageddon and evaded Dearka's shotgun barrage as he flipped the machine around and returned to a fighting stance.
"Just as I thought," Athrun said as now they had something to go on.
Dearka slightly smiled.
They were like that until they heard a small laugh, and what sounded like clapping.
Both looked back towards the Armageddon.
"Well done Athrun well done, I thought you would have realized sooner however," Kira said with a slight smile.
Both were confused.
On the Eternal Lacus listened as well, and she saw it again.
Athrun stayed cautious, this could be another sick game Kira was playing so he and Dearka stayed on alert.
"I admit what you built is impressive Kira, however…" Athrun said.
Kira finished for him, "However my old friend a skilled pilot like yourself with good targeting skills could easily take this machine apart, which is why I integrated the generator, all just for you…" Kira said reestablishing the visual link.
They saw his eyes again, he looked different, almost normal but in a way a lot worse then before.
"I will ask one more time Kira…why?" Athrun said.
Kira shut his eyes, his head started killing him again, reaching for a few more of his pills he downed them for all to see.
All saw what he did.
Kira once again looked at them, "Naturals, humanity, everything I said Athrun, will now end…" Kira said but then all heard a new voice.
"Stop lying that isn't it…" the voice of Lacus was heard.
Kira's Team and Neo's Team
Rey and Sting
Both the Legend and Chaos opened fire on each other as their battle began.
Both suits seemed to like range better the short range battle.
The chaos got off several shots while Rey used the shield generator to block them, returning fire.
Both suits circled and fired at each other.
Luna and Stellar
The Impulse and Gaia were also engaging in battle.
Luna had a small disadvantage as she was equipped with the sword pack as she was intending on taking out more battleships then fighting with an opponent in a suit like this.
The Gaia fired its beam rifle at long range as Luna evaded and quickly retaliated with a beam boomerang.
The Gaia evaded as Stellar then went to the beam saber.
Luna was surprised, her suit wasn't equipped for any sort of fighting but short range and now this pilot wanted to go short range with her, which was fine.
The boomerang returned as she pulled out one Excalibur long sword.
The beam sabers clashed and as they did the Gaia was thrown back by the longer more powerful sword.
Shinn and Auel
This battle started off completely different from the other two as Shinn was raging mad with hate for his commander he was going to prove him wrong.
The Abyss was very disadvantaged to the Destiny and Auel was way to overconfident.
Auel was looking to go short ranged with his long spear, but Shinn shut the door when he fired his long range beam cannon.
Auel was forced back as Shinn kept up the charge and cover with firing his beam rifle.
Auel was cursing completely as he had barely any time to react, but for now he was dodging.
Shinn only smirked as he neared him and stuck the Destiny's arm straight out as his palm beam cannon charged.
Auel didn't even see him coming as he was right up to him, Auel flew upward, but Shinn fired the cannon and it shredded the leg of the Abyss right off.
Auel was finally able to counter by swinging his long axe and it forced Shinn to dodge.
It was clear though battle wasn't going to last long under these conditions.
Earth
The news of the attack also hit the earth media, all people on earth knew was that their political leaders were in disagree with each other and that was about it, Jibril and his allies nations made sure not to much was known about the first attack and now their plans were even more screwed up.
Orb
The Seirans were one of those that saw what was happening up in space.
Unato watched with anger as Yunna entered the room.
"I have tried getting word to the ship father, but it seems as if the monitoring equipment in the Archangel was removed," Yunna said.
"Cagalli must have had it removed…though we have bigger problems," Unato said watching the battle.
He was right about the bigger problems as the Alliance and Orb were completely outmatched.
"What's next father?" Yunna asked.
"If were lucky the Archangel, that coordinator she appointed ambassador and Cagalli will not survive this battle, we would have full control then," Unato said as he still wasn't taking this seriously.
With Jibril
Jibril on the other hand was close to completely blowing his top.
His council wasn't pleased either.
"We are losing this battle Jibril, you said they wouldn't attack," one said.
Jibril stood up, "Watch your tone with me, it's only our lunar fleet."
"That fleet is essential to the destruction of the Plants, do you know how much it would cost to rebuild it, that would also give Zaft more resources," another said.
Jibril looked at all of them, "We have cut Zaft off from the surface, as long as we leave it like that their supplies were run low."
All were silent.
"Let them have space back, we will rebuild our power and wait until they are vulnerable, then we will take it all back," Jibril said seriously.
All could see Jibril was making things up as he went, but they really didn't have any say in the matter.
Jibril didn't want to lose this battle but by the looks on it he and the earth would soon be at the mercy of Zaft and if they fired that massive cannon on the surface from space it would be total destruction.
"Focus your concern on making all those stubborn earth nations mine, no more negotiations give them the choice of joining or their destruction," Jibril said sitting back down only to watch the devastation that was soon to happen.
A few nations on earth were still holding out and Jibril was negotiating for their power but now that the situation was critical he wasn't holding back anymore.
Doomsday and Girty Lue
"Captain we have incoming," Neo's ship said as the payload heading right for them was to extreme.
"Evade it," Neo yelled as the ship did its best.
One Gottfried blast missed from one cannon, but the other two struck their mark, as one engine exploded and the other did critical damage to the haul.
The Valiant blasts struck each of the weapon systems, and the missile's struck the haul tarring the armor to pieces.
"Captain we are at critical, engines are just about dead, weapons are destroyed," an officer said to Neo.
Neo stood up as blasts and explosions were racking the bridge.
"Set the ship for collision course and abandon ship, I am launching in my Windam," Neo said dismissing the crew.
The crew set the ship for collision for the Doomsday as all rushed to escape pods and shuttles.
Neo made it to his Windam as he launched.
He looked behind him only to see pods and shuttles launching.
Neo looked ahead as he couldn't stop that ship with one suit.
Neo then turned around, he knew for some reason he had to go in a direction where Kira was, but he didn't know that.
Neo flew off.
Doomsday
On the Doomsday Willard only smiled as he saw that ship break apart.
"Captain, damage is critical, they seem to be abandoning ship," the operations officer said.
Willard smiled.
"Sir one mobile suit is also launching, it is heading away from us sir," another officer said.
"Let it go," Willard said as he noticed the ship.
"Sir that ship is still heading straight for us, I presume on a collision course," the helmsman said.
Willard looked at his tactical officer, "Aim all three Lohengrins and fire."
"Yes sir," the tactical officer said as all three Lohengrins targeted the ship and they fired.
Three blasts went straight for that ship as it ripped the rest of it apart, it only had one engine anyway but now all they saw was the explosion as the Girty Lue was destroyed.
Willard saw the shuttles and escape craft, "Target the missile pods."
"Sir?" the tactical officer said.
Willard looked back, "Do you think they would show us mercy, besides commander Hibiki said leave no survivors, target each one and fire."
"Yes…yes sir," the tactical officer said as the missile pods opened and all were targeted.
Sarah heard what he said, she was still trying to break into Kira's communication equipment and was getting close since he wasn't monitoring it, but she heard those comments.
"Fire," Willard said as the missiles were launched.
Outside escape pods, and small shuttle craft were destroyed.
Willard slightly smiled, "Continue on course."
The Doomsday moved forward straight past the wreckage that was left of the Girty Lue, one thing they did notice was that resistance was practically non existent which meant they were winning this battle.
"Sir we are almost at range," an officer said.
"Continue and prepare to halt the engines," Willard said.
They kept the monitoring up and soon they hit range.
"We are in range captain," the officer said.
Willard smiled, "All stop, prepare the genesis cannon."
"Yes sir," the crew said.
The massive ship came to a stop as the cannon doors were now opened.
"Now prepare to fire the cannon," Willard said once again removing the keycard from his neck and placing it on the slot next to his chair.
Outside the massive cannon starting moving out and opening up into firing position.
Once again the bridge crew couldn't see outside the bridge as the cannon opened up.
Willard placed the keycard in.
The tactical officer made the preparations, "Cannon prepared, time to fire twenty minutes."
Willard looked over, "Any word from the commander yet?"
Sarah shook her head, "No sir, he still has us blocked out."
"Keep trying," Willard said as now they waited.
Battlefield with Kira
All stopped after they heard Lacus' voice.
Kira heard that voice as well; however what he noticed was the amount of malice in her tone, a tone that he had never heard her use before.
Kira switched his frequency and he got her visual link as well.
On the Eternal Lacus had heard just about enough, there was no question she was hurt and angered but since she likely knew Kira the best she discovered something in his words.
Kira stared straight into her eyes as she did to his, though her gaze wasn't fazing him it was affecting others that weren't used to seeing her this way.
Back on the Doomsday with Kira not monitoring his com equipment Sarah managed to get through on an emergency code and as she was about to speak she heard the voice of Lacus Clyne, for once she decided not to say anything, this was defiantly odd.
"I have heard enough Kira…you kept saying the same things over and over again…despite your actions I know you Kira," Lacus said looking at him.
Kira slightly smiled, "You know me do you? I used to think so as well."
Lacus interrupted him, "I heard that already Kira…you repeat the same thing but tell me what you're really after…" Lacus said with the hurt now apparent in her voice.
"It is like I said Lacus, mankind's destruction," Kira repeated darkly.
Lacus shook her head, "No…your after something else Kira, you told me you want to destroy mankind but coordinators are mankind as well, why do you only attack the alliance and naturals?"
Athrun and Dearka stayed back but they used this time to plan their next move, it seemed Kira had his full attention on what Lacus was saying, they two never heard this much hurt and anger from her, but she had her reasons.
Kira lightly laughed, "Wonderful work Lacus, yes you are correct, I have something else in mind…however first the alliance and Orb will face ultimate judgment."
Back on the Doomsday Sarah could only sit in silence, not once has Kira mentioned his past and she knew this was dangerous listening in like this as he wouldn't take to kindly to that; however she was getting fed a lot of information. She wasn't fully through the security code and missed a few sections but from what she gathered Kira knew these people…and apparently knew Lacus as well. She was trying to make the signal clearer but she didn't think she could get in any further then this.
Lacus knew she getting somewhere, but he was starting to get unstable again, if she were going to get anything out of him it had to be now, if she wanted her questioned answered she had to ask it, one last time she would try.
"Why didn't you come to me Kira? I knew you were having problems, why did you hide that from me? All of this doesn't make sense, tell me what you're planning," Lacus said as her expression softened.
Kira shut his eyes, "I was there for you Lacus, I gave everything to you, but you and the rest were only concerned for a world that will never exist, peace between naturals and coordinators is only a useless fantasy, the world his Excellency and I will build will end all of that," Kira said getting very angry.
Athrun knew he wasn't going to last much longer, and he radioed Dearka, "Prepare yourself."
Dearka did just that.
Lacus wasn't satisfied, "What world Kira? What are you going to do?"
Kira started breathing heavily, "A world where that sort of thing will not exist…you will not live long enough to see my world, all of you stand in the way of the future and I will not stand for it anymore…" Kira said as he reached for his pills again.
"What is that Kira? And what future are you trying to build," Lacus kept pushing.
"Silence!" Kira said looking straight at her, "I once loved you Lacus, you should have been here!" Kira said as he tightened his controls again.
Back on the Doomsday Sarah froze, she quickly remembered her discussion with Lacus, what were the chances the conversations they both had were about the same man. The person Lacus was searching for has been with her the entire time. As she was stunned for a second she once again lost the link as Kira was doing something inside the cockpit. Sarah remained there for a second, at times she always felt at times when Kira was with her it wasn't really her he was seeing, but the hate he used in those words didn't make much sense. This was all a little too much for the moment, she needed time to process this, but with the battle looming she wouldn't have time.
Lacus heard his words, there was something not right about all this, but she would not give up, "I will not support the actions you are taking Kira…I…I will stop you if I have to, I don't know what you're planning to do but I know I will stop you."
Kira looked straight at her as these next words were meant to strike her straight in her heart, "You will try Lacus, mankind will be destroyed, and my unborn child will start the new future."
Lacus immediately froze, as did many others.
Lacus nearly fell back in her chair did she just hear him right.
Kira only had one last thing to say as the Armageddon moved once again.
"I will not hold back anymore,' Kira said as the link was severed.
At lightning speed Kira charged straight for Athrun and Dearka.
"Not good," Dearka said aiming his rifle but it was to late as Kira slammed the Armageddon straight into the Buster and knocked it straight back. That was almost a suicidal ram as Dearka was thrown all over the place in the cockpit.
Athrun was right there, but that wasn't Kira's main attack as Kira removed one Beam saber and made a deadly slash straight at Athrun's Savior.
If Athrun was any other pilot he wouldn't have seen this attack.
Athrun caught it at the last second as he raised his shield but the saber cut the shield straight in half.
Athrun aimed his beam rifle straight at the Armageddon's joints but soon found that sliced in half as well.
Athrun knew now he was defenseless.
Cagalli nearly had a heart attack as others watched in horror.
"…die," was all Kira said turning the saber.
The saber was aimed straight at the cockpit and the tip had just melted the armor when Kira got a rear alert.
Releasing the Savior Kira quickly turned as his beam saber came into contact with another one.
Yzak had made it back and right on time.
"You owe me now Zala," Yzak said.
Dearka finally regrouped as he joined Athrun, Athrun knew that was close but that confirmed it, Kira wasn't going to run him through. Removing his own saber he readied himself.
Cagalli sighed in relief as she watched from the battling Archangel.
Lacus regrouped and was glad as well.
Kira however wasn't worried one bit, "You will have to do better then that," Kira said as the reddish black eyes of the Armageddon flashed once again.
With the Archangel and Minerva
Archangel
This was perhaps the most even battle of any going on. Both the Minerva and Archangel exchanged fire with minimal damage to each.
Cagalli kept her eyes on the battle outside between Athrun and Kira, she knew she could still go help him and after that last close call she made her decision.
Cagalli stood up and was walking out.
"Miss Cagalli," Murrue said as the ship was rocked again.
"I have to do this, I can't sit here anymore," Cagalli said leaving quickly.
Minerva
On the Minerva they seemed to notice the Archangel slowing a little.
Talia knew this was her best chance, "Ready the Tanhoiser."
"Preparing the Tanhoiser Ma'am," Arthur said as the cannon was aimed.
Archangel
"Captain," Newman said.
Murrue looked, "Evade," Murrue said as the shot was fired.
Newman took a hard right, but their left Valiant cannon was completely destroyed.
"That was close," Murrue said.
"Captain I have a lock," an officer said.
Murrue saw the chance.
"Aim Lohengrin and fire," Murrue said.
On the move they did just that.
Minerva
"Direct hit to their port cannon ma'am," Arthur said.
"Redirect fire to…" Talia said but saw what was coming.
"Get us out of here," Talia said as she saw what was aiming.
"No time ma'am," an officer said.
"All hands brace for impact," Talia said.
They evaded the best they could but they took damage to the left side of their ship.
Alerts went off.
"Damage?" Talia wanted to know.
"We have a haul breach ma'am, I am losing power," another said.
Talia looked ahead as they now saw the Eternal, "Prepare a full retreat, recall the mobile suits."
"Ma'am," Arthur said as others looked at her.
Talia knew their concerns, "The Doomsday is already in firing position, we did our job, we will pull back," Talia said.
"Yes captain," the helmsman said as they recalled the mobile suits.
Outside the mobile suits dueling with the Orb fleet, began to withdraw and returned to ship.
Once they were back Talia withdrew, the archangel won this battle but barely.
Archangel
Their withdrawing captain," Miriallia said.
"Good," Murrue said as all of them now remembered it was the Doomsday they were going to destroy and as they turned in the direction all they saw was the massive ship stopped and the cannon opened readying to fire.
"Can we make it in time?" Murrue said.
"Not a chance captain, with their long range weapons we are toast, besides that last attack did damage to our ships haul and is slowing us down," an officer reported.
Cagalli got in her suit and saw outside and she came on the radio to Murrue, "We should begin the retreat captain, I want all Orb vessels to withdrawal to earth, this battle is pointless."
Murrue looked outside, "Alright."
Andrew was on the way with them as well, "I agree, once that shot is fired they will come after us we should go now."
"Go, Athrun and I will hold Kira off and join you before you reach the atmosphere," Cagalli quickly said.
They agreed and began the retreat.
Kira's Team and Neo's Team
With Rey and Sting
The battle waged on as the events around them took place.
The battle was pretty much even but both Rey and Sting were running out of steam.
The Legend fire its high quality beam rifle as few times keeping the chaos on the run, Sting evaded but what he saw next had him worried.
Rey was growing tired as he activated his dragoon units; however he still kept them attached to the suit. All blasters turned as he fired a large barrage straight at the Chaos.
Sting tried to evade but one blast came into contact with the Chaos' head and blew it straight off.
Sting cursed as it wasn't all in vain as his own quick shot caught Rey off guard and the shot came into contact with his beam rifle and destroyed it.
With them about to clash again Sting got an emergency call.
Luna and Stellar
This battle was going back and forth as well, but slowly Luna was getting the advantage.
The large Excalibur sword was knocking the Gaia all over the place.
Stellar's suit just didn't handle as well in space as it would on earth.
Stellar kept up her charge though but this time as Luna counter Stellar was thrown back straight into the debris of a few destroyed mobile suits.
Luna saw her chance as she tried going for the finishing thrust.
Stellar saw that sword as her fear of dying kicked into high gear, and she lost it. She went straight for the sword.
Luna was shocked but the sword then pierced the left shoulder of the Gaia taking the arm with it.
Luna knew something was wrong with this pilot, which was completely suicidal. Luna was the Impulses free hand and knocked the Gaia away.
As Stellar was about to charge in a heavily damaged suit she got the same signal as Sting and she seemed to soften.
Shinn and Auel
This battle was completely one sided.
Auel still had the same problem as Stellar as the suit was just better for earth in particular the water.
All Auel could do was retreat and fire that was all he could do against the superior suit of the Destiny.
Auel's once great confidence was shattering as this guy was all over him.
Shinn was only looking to finish this man; once he was gone he would get respect.
Shinn got tired of firing and switched to his saber.
With an acceleration boost Auel quickly had to turn around and defend.
With his large axe he swung and met Shinn's saber.
The two were engaged as Shinn used his free hand and activated the palm beam cannon.
Auel quickly had to retreat again, this wasn't working at all.
Lucky for him he got that same signal.
Neo's Team
The signal sent was from Neo.
He ordered them to withdrawal and join the survivors, as Neo was entering the battlefield he saw what the remaining Orb ships were doing and decided now was the time to retreat.
With most of Zaft holding their ground and that devil ships cannon already out, there was no point, all they could do was make it to earth, regroup, and fight another day.
That was a welcoming sign for all three as they launched blinders to quickly escape.
Kira's Team
As the lights launched from all three flickered it blinded them just enough to slow them down as all three flew off.
"Cowards," Shinn said as he just missed his chance.
All three joined up with each other.
"Look," Luna said.
All three looked back and saw the cannon.
"We did our job, let's return," Rey came on and said as all three flew back towards the Doomsday making sure to stay out of its firing path.
Battlefield
With Kira
As soon as those eyes flashed, the Armageddon once again accelerated straight for the mark two Duel.
Yzak took Athrun's strategy and fired straight at the joints, but as soon as the shield generator was activated those beams were useless.
With Kira removing two sabers Yzak quickly did the same.
Both blades clashed as Yzak knew his suit powerful but he wasn't sure if it could match this alone.
Kira rotated attacks with each saber, slashing with the right and stabbing with the left. Yzak was doing his best to block but it was becoming more difficult.
Dearka got around in position as he aimed his long range weapon again.
Kira however wasn't falling for the same trick again, using the Armageddon's power he quickly made contact with Yzak's sabers then overpowered him pushing him in the path where Dearka was aiming.
Dearka was about to fire but quickly aborted, "I have no shot."
Athrun removed his saber as well, "I will go, try to find a shot."
Athrun removed his saber making his way back towards Kira.
Kira got the alert as he could only smirk.
Kira and Yzak's sabers were currently connected with each other but as Kira saw Athrun, he quickly adjusted.
The rail cannons on hips opened and moved in front of the Armageddon.
Yzak saw what happened, "Not good."
Kira fired as Yzak broke the attack but the blast connected with his armor. The blast did significant damage and drained his armor down heavily.
After the blast Kira turned around and blocked Athrun's slash.
"You are making this to easy for me," was all Kira said forcing his suit straight into Athrun's sending it flying back but as it did, Kira slashed straight at the back and took off one of the Saviors wings it used in its transformation form.
Dearka got his shot and fired as Kira quickly returned the sabers as his own gun launcher on his back quickly assembled and moved to his free hand. Aiming at the blast Kira fired as the beams connected.
The blasts were nullified as Kira could have sent a higher frequency but he was getting tired of this.
"You are beginning to bore me," Kira said as he now made his way towards the Buster.
Dearka opened the missile pods on the shoulders firing straight at Kira.
Kira responded by countering with his beam rifle and Vulcan guns in the head.
Each missile was destroyed.
"No way," Dearka said as all this seemed impossible.
Seeing Kira this close forced him to for once activate his own new beam sabers installed on the mark two.
Kira only smiled at that.
The sabers connected but Kira's speed was to much as he quickly saw the chance and sliced the large beam cannon in half.
Athrun and Yzak quickly tried to help but feared it was too late.
Dearka tried reversing at full speed.
Kira only smiled as he slashed straight at the torso of the machine. The beam made a slash straight across the machine blowing a gash straight in the cockpit.
Inside the cockpit exploded as debris flew and cut him all over, luckily though it didn't pierce his helmet.
That was another close call, but Kira wasn't done.
Seeing what was approaching behind him Kira grabbed the Busters limb arm and swung him around straight into Athrun and Yzak.
Kira then saw something that made him smile as he reestablished com with the Doomsday.
Doomsday
The time had finally arrived.
"We are cleared sir, cannon ready for fire," the tactical officer said.
Willard looked over at Sarah, "Any word on the commander."
She was still processing what she heard, but shook that off, "Nothing sir…" but as she said that Kira contacted him.
"Give me a status report captain," Kira said.
"Sir, cannon is ready to fire," Willard responded.
Kira smiled again, "Fire," Kira gave the order.
"Acknowledged," Willard said turning to his officer.
"Ready sir," he said.
Willard looked over to his pad; he pushed a few more buttons as he moved to the last one.
"Firing cannon," he said as the button was pushed.
Once again the ship ratted as the shot was moving to be fired.
Battlefield
"Space is now ours," Kira said turning back to the other three.
"I shall mark your deaths with this glorious occasion," Kira said to himself heading straight for them again.
However once again he got another alert of shots being fired, however these were at his armor.
Turning his machine the shots made contact as they were sent right back making that machine evaded.
Kira looked closely as he knew that machine.
Athrun looked as well, how she could be this stupid in that machine.
"Cagalli what are you doing?" Athrun asked.
"What I have to," Cagalli responded.
"You fool," Athrun said but knew it was useless to argue with her and it was to late to send her back.
Kira looked at that machine and decided one last time wouldn't hurt as he reestablished the link to Orb, "How glorious, you are making this far to easy for me, know I don't have to find you," Kira said a tone of mocking in his voice.
Cagalli looked at him, "I through with you Kira, my brother is gone and all I see is an enemy."
Kira now laughed, "I have better things to do with my time so I am afraid our play time has to end," Kira's voice changed straight to hate.
The link was again severed.
As the link was severed a very bright light was seen as all look and Kira smiled.
Doomsday
The cannon wasted no time as the large beam was fired, once again expanding as it was fired but it was straight on target.
Anything in its way was vaporized.
It didn't stop until it connected straight with the alliance base.
The personal inside had no chance as the crater became much larger and only destruction was left, and a very large explosion.
Orb Fleet
Lacus was still listening to Kira but her and Archangel saw the blast make contact and completely wipe out the lunar base, their was nothing to be done.
They were making their way towards earth and Lacus and the rest were still worried about their pilots. They kept a close eye on them but they couldn't go back and help. Lacus shut her eyes hoping this nightmare would end but this was reality and she now had to deal with it, it only got worse from what she saw next.
Battlefield
Yzak was holding Dearka's machine as it was completely out of commission.
"Take him and go Yzak…we will handle it," Athrun said.
Yzak knew he had no choice, he didn't want to leave this battle but had to, "You better come back alive Athrun," Yzak said before taking off.
"Ready?" Athrun asked.
Cagalli nodded, "We will stop him."
After she said that the battle was about to get worse as the wings on the Armageddon extended and they knew that meant he was about to launch his dragoon blasters.
Kira was about to released them.
"This…this feeling," Kira said as he sensed it once again.
To be continued…
(A\N): The next chapter is the attempted escape to earth. As Kira might just meet his match. See you later.
