Chapter Twenty Six

New Species

Aprilious One

When Kira got word that Ryu wanted to see him he immediately headed straight to the headquarters. In the three months since his kids were born he saw very little of them, when he did return to the house he got he really only checked in on the ultimate. Sarah saw him very little anymore; it seemed as if he was always working on something at the headquarters. She had been on leave since the birth of the children which kept her even more out of the loop of what was going on at the headquarters. She had help through servants at this place but it just wasn't the same.

Whenever Kira was around it seemed he would always observe their son then he would either go to sleep or leave again. He never ignored her like this before, and even those rare equations when he was kind to her were all but gone, in those events he mostly acted but now there was no reason for it anymore. Whatever happened those three months he vanished had an effect somehow and she was trying to find out why, but she lacked clearance to find any information. She even tried going through her father once making up a story but he didn't even have access to that information which was even stranger.

Today however was the day he arrived and told the servants to get the kids ready to head to the capitol, Sarah knew before that this had to be the time, she didn't want to exploit her son like this but their was little anyone could do against Kira's orders anymore, an order from Kira was like an order from the chairman himself these days.

Kira once again didn't travel with them as he said he would go ahead and left shortly after that.

Ryu's office

This day had been planned out for awhile now as Ryu had all the data and information he needed to make this speech. However it turns out something else came up from behind his back and he had Kira report to him as they were going to deal with that little manner.

As soon as Kira walked in he walked towards the desk and saluted as he saw the malice on Ryu's face.

Ryu looked up at him, "Those fools have crossed their last line."

Kira knew what he meant, "I have traced the contacts they used to get this done," Kira said handing him over a list.

Ryu took it and looked at the names, "Make sure each and every one is eliminated after this day is over."

"With pleasure," Kira replied as he knew that wasn't all Ryu was going to do.

"The council is having a meeting at the exact same time as my speech, they believe they can go behind my back and set up meetings on policy," Ryu said smashing a phone on his desk.

"Their disrespect will be handled sir, just give me the word," Kira said.

Ryu stared at him, "I want it done during the speech, the council and those natural leaders leave no one alive."

"I will have to leave the speech early then," Kira said as he had to be present.

Ryu nodded, "You will have plenty of time, just get it done, I want you and you alone to handle this personally."

"Yes sir," Kira replied as Ryu went on.

"About my session I have gathered all the data, I will do most of the talking just confirm the story I give you, you are still a legend out here so I believe people will immediately flock to the facility, in doing so I also believe the earth will condemn this," Ryu said.

"The earth has made no action and now the deadline has passed," Kira told him.

Ryu slightly smiled, "It is time Kira, I have already contacted the Special Forces unit on the surface, they will give us the initiative we need to start this battle."

Kira smiled the team they sent down was loaded with one very important piece of equipment and they were sent down and have been holding refuge near a space port.

Ryu sat back, "If my timing is correct it should happen right after my speech."

Kira looked at him, "By the end of the day the council will be dead, the remaining rebels of the earth will be dead and in doing so their forces will fall completely to the alliance, and we will have cause in the peoples mind to head to earth."

Ryu stood up, "Your correct, now let's do it," Ryu said as he stood up and Kira followed him out as they were heading outside where the conference would be held in front of the headquarters. People have been very curious for what plan Ryu had for the coordinator future and the media was informed this was what the speech was about, so they announced it ahead of time as all people on all Plants would be watching, Ryu also knew all would see the act that would give them cause to head to earth as well.

As for the council's death Ryu knew questions would be raised but they controlled how much the media could report so if the story wasn't buried with what was about to happen, then he knew he could make any excuse of what happened up and nothing would ever be raised about it. For the immediate though Ryu wasn't even going to have it reported, if family members raised questions then they would be dealt with accordingly.

Councils Chambers

The council knew that today was Ryu's big statement about the future of coordinators but this was the only day they could get access to the earth leaders that rebelled against the alliance. The council set this up and had them brought to Plants for this important trade. They were going to work up plans to help regain their countries from the alliance and in exchange they would give Plants important mining minerals and other such things they were running low on. They knew Ryu would eventually have to sign off on this and they wanted something worked up for when they brought it to him, so they kept this behind his back knowing to well his feelings on any earth nations.

As the meeting was starting to gather leaders from Scandinavia and the occupied Oceania Union arrived at the headquarters with their security, the council greeted them accordingly as they were shown to the council chambers. The council members all went inside as Sarah's father was the last one; he had been meeting with her as he could tell she was upset by something however he couldn't get it out of her as he had to attend this meeting.

The meeting began as the negotiations started.

Outside the Headquarters

The press was gathered as a podium was set up and everyone was waiting for the chairman's arrival.

Kira and Ryu arrived as they knew what was taking place inside the council's chambers. Ryu was waiting to be announced as Sarah joined behind him.

The orders Kira gave next were once again startling to her, he ordered their daughter to remain with the servant and only she and their son would be present behind the chairman. Kira could tell she was about to object right in front of Ryu and as he shot her a warning look she knew to keep her comments to herself, it was this day she knew whatever good Kira had that she had seen was completely gone.

Following his orders she took her son in her arms as they prepared to head out in front of the cameras. She smiled at her son who was always observant and she could tell he didn't like the cameras but was still alert like always.

Ryu was finally announced as cameras flashed and all three went out.

Ryu took his place as Kira was right behind him on his left side, while Sarah was behind him but all were still in view.

The press saw the baby and this had to be something that went with this new path for coordinators.

Ryu now began.

Earth

Logos

Like with his terms all media stations picked up this signal as this was the fist thing they had heard out of the Plants in a year. Jibril like always caught this broadcast, he was so close to controlling the entire earth, and he had the resources building and training more machines and personal the entire year.

He only watched in anger as what he started hearing made him blow his top.

Earth Alliance Fleet

Neo was still at the Scandinavia borders when this broadcast was played, he was tending to the extended when he got word what was going on and immediately went to a terminal.

Orb

Situation was the same here as all ministers watched.

Athrun and Cagalli watched separate as they first saw Kira in a year, and something was defiantly different, they didn't think things could go worse but they did.

Lacus' House

Lacus was preparing her kids a snack when the broadcast was shown, she finished their snack and was brining it to them when she saw they were glued to the TV for a reason, she immediately got closer.

"What are you two watching?" Lacus asked.

Her daughter turned to her, "Something from the people in space."

Lacus knew what that meant and that was intriguing.

"That guy looks like me," her son said pointing directly to Kira.

Lacus nearly dropped the tray, she walked over to them, "Why don't you two eat these in the kitchen," Lacus said as they wanted to protest but the look on their mothers face was different, she looked worried.

They followed her in as she had her maid keep an eye on them as she watched.

She went back into the room as she saw the change in Kira as well, but what was strange was the girl next to him, Lacus remembered her from the incident at the Plants over a year ago, and what was strange she was holding a baby.

She was hoping that wasn't what she thought.

Near the Victoria Mass Driver

Before starting this speech Ryu gave final orders to his team on the surface and now they were just about to carry them out. It was the time of the speech and they had to get this over with by the time he finished.

The alliance did abandon the mass drivers like Ryu ordered in his terms but they kept small forces nearby but over time they made the forces smaller as the war wasn't going as easy as Jibril thought so many were called to assist in the countries that disobeyed them.

The Special Forces team prepared their weapons as they were going to gain control of this mass driver. They had the element of surprise as the commander gave the order and they began the attack.

Aprilious One

The media reporters quieted down as Ryu began.

He looked straight ahead, "As I promised all of you a year ago, I have the new prosperity for the coordinator race."

"This was an act that was developed over twenty years ago, however because of blue cosmos almost everything was lost in an attack," Ryu said.

So far he wasn't making much sense to the people.

"We coordinators are coming to an end in prosperity, as you are aware our declining birth rates will all but wipe us out in the next two generations, many coordinators are no longer able to have children, however the next stage in our evolution was made twenty years ago and has finally been perfected for all to use," Ryu told them seriously.

Things were getting more interesting for the press.

"It is unavoidable that coordinators will die out, nothing can stop that," Ryu said as cameras flashed again, "We now have a new species of coordinator, a true coordinator, an ultimate coordinator," Ryu stated as discussion had been heard.

Around Earth

People were watching as Jibril found this interesting and appalling.

In Orb Lacus and the others knew what he was talking about, they couldn't believe Kira was going public with what he was, in a way this was only going to cause more hatred from the earth, but that was what he wanted.

Councils Chambers

They paused in negotiations to listen to the speech and all were practically clueless.

Podium

"I speak of a new coordinator that is several times more powerful, several times more intelligent, and even more remarkable accomplishments that will be made by this new coordinator," Ryu said looking around he could see the disbelief.

"The peace we have today is the result of an ultimate himself," Ryu said as that caught the attention of many.

"Twenty one years ago was when the very first ultimate was born and through him we have gained the peace we have now," Ryu said pointing to the screen, "What you are looking at is all data of first rate coordinators against an ultimate.

This was the data being shown on the mobile suit pilots.

Reporters now couldn't wait anymore.

"Could you elaborate more sir, who is this ultimate?" one said.

Ryu would allow the interruption, "The man standing next to me commander Hibiki is the very first ultimate coordinator."

Cameras turned to Kira as they flashed again.

"That is the commander's data all of them went up against, and all have failed, surely you saw how he performed, and all the accomplishments he has made, the commander is our future," Ryu said.

"Can you confirm this commander?" Reporters shouted as many were trying to be the first one.

Kira moved forward, "What the chairman speaks of is the truth, like with my predecessor George Glenn, I couldn't come forward with this immediately until I proved to the world what my abilities could do, the chairman will elaborate more."

Showing the more accomplishments Ryu went on about the superiority of ultimate's and such. They showed Kira's genetic data and proved his body was more resilient, his mind was capable of far more knowledge, his physical strength was higher then ever thought possible, a scientists dream in many ways.

However it really was getting down to it, "How does this solve our problem sir, how are ultimate's enhanced?"

Ryu moved more data on the screen as he explained the process, "That is simple, developed all those years ago and enhanced with our technology today this is the process," Ryu said explaining everything, the artificial womb, and all that stuff.

Many reporters took this weird, their was just something about having children born from those things, however the data they saw showed the superiority and it would solve their problem.

"I know this is immoral to many people, however I believe with more time and research we will be able to produce ultimate's the same way we do regular coordinators as they could be born for the mother, however this is a measure that will allow our prosperity in the mean time, this measure will also help all people who are unable to bear children this solves the biggest problem," Ryu added as that was his biggest challenge.

"How was all this research conducted sir? And how do we know this will work again?" another asked quickly.

Ryu slightly smiled, "Great question, we already have a large facility built and constructed at L4, where the commander was born is where our race will continue to flourish."

"I thought L4 was abandon sir?" another asked.

"It has been up and running for four years under high classification, we didn't want another attack on our future," Ryu said showing the place on screen, "I am now opening all of this to the public, it can begin immediately."

"That still doesn't prove it will work sir," another said.

"That you are wrong sir, our first in over twenty years was just born three months ago from the same procedure I have just shown, the commanders own son," Ryu said as they all turned again.

Cameras flashed as they got the child, Ryu submitted the child's data Kira gathered and it was unbelievable. Sarah didn't like the attention on her son but nothing could stop that now. Questions flew at her and Kira.

Around Earth

Jibril was breaking things when he heard this, now all of a sudden Plants were making more powerful genetic monsters. This had to be stopped, and he was more determined as ever to destroy them.

Orb

Athrun and Cagalli were stunned.

"This is what he meant," Cagalli said recalling the events when they spoke to him.

"I can't believe he has another child, after all he doesn't even know about the other two," Athrun said.

Cagalli immediately remembered Lacus and hoped she wasn't watching this.

Lacus' House

Lacus nearly collapsed to her knees when she heard that last part, the entire speech was bad enough but this was something that truly struck her heart. Looking at the baby on screen she could tell it was no mistaking it as her own son resembled that small baby when he was smaller. What was worse was the women holding that child, Lacus immediately recalled her conversation with that girl, to think they were talking about the same man, she looked at her again and saw a little sadness in her face but she was still overwhelmed by all this, this was impossible.

What was worse was it seemed as if Kira was around for that child but her own had to go without a father, this was just all to much for her and it was hard to tell what she was feeling, all emotions were hitting her at once she wouldn't let her children see her this way so she made sure to seclude herself for a little while, she had saw enough of that speech.

Around the Plants

At first many people were not getting this but as it went on it was making a lot more sense, after announcing an artificial womb many were uneasy about that but Ryu explained it as a temporary measure seemed sufficient, and if they could make their children as great as Kira then they would do this.

Those that couldn't have children hope immediately shot to their eyes; they didn't care if they were born from some chamber, as long as they could have children. They were on board immediately.

Those that liked the idea immediately decided to investigate more as they watched more of the speech.

Others on the fence saw both good and bad points, the bad was it didn't really seem right, but the good was birth rates were down and if this could bring them up while the research went on then they should do it or their would be no more coordinators. Other younger couples just saw Kira, he was a great pilot, engineer, leader and he did more then any other person in existence and they would want their children just like that, it was safe to say the vast majority agreed with this plan.

Podium

Questions were asked as Sarah let Kira do most of the talking, however she had a few rehearsed answers. Ryu went on explaining more as he had to make sure to sell this well.

It was then a lone soldier walked up and spoke something into Kira's ear.

Kira knew what this meant, with a nod to Ryu, Kira excused himself as he gently made a gesture towards Sarah, that was the first jester he made to her in awhile, but it was becoming apparent it was all for show.

As Kira walked out he headed straight back into the building.

Reporters wanted to ask him more but Kira said this was important business, and he knew Ryu would take over.

Ryu went on answering questions and more and more people were starting to like the idea of ultimates.

Councils Chambers

The council and their guests listened to the entire speech as many were stunned by this new event. Especially Sarah's father, he had no clue his grandson was what he was.

"Did you know about this?" one asked him.

"I didn't hear a word, my daughter never told me anything about this matter," another added.

"We must apologize to our guests and I believe this is an issue we can discuss at another time," another added.

All agreed as they went back to business.

Outside the room

Under Kira's orders the guards around the chamber were removed, the surveillance was shut completely off as he made his way towards the councils room.

Once he arrived Kira reached into his large uniform coat and pulled out his two handguns, with the hallway cleared and their loyalists keeping regular people out, all inside were sitting ducks.

Checking both guns, Kira shut his eyes for a second standing straight in front of the door.

Heightening his senses Kira was getting a feel for the room, his new found abilities were going to do him justice in this room.

Flicking the safety off both guns, he quickly kicked the door open and went in.

Inside the Chamber

The council was coming to a close as both parties were about to agree on negotiations for an alliance when the door was kicked straight open.

Security was inside the chamber as they were either from the naturals, or they were not loyalists of Ryu and normal soldiers who had to be sacrificed for this to work.

People turned around as gun fire was now heard.

As soon as Kira kicked the door open it flew off the hinges causing a bang on the floor.

Two of the Scandinavian bodyguards turned reaching for their weapons as a reaction as Kira opened fire. Striking both in the chest both feel to the ground.

Kira used his new found power and speed to move quickly targeting all security personal in the room.

The council members couldn't see who it was yet as they hit the floor and were crawling towards cover behind the opposite end of the table.

Council members were panicking as they tried calling for reinforcements but communication was also cut off.

Kira's speed was unreal to the security personal.

Kira only stopped once and took cover to reload; with his first clips he downed over five bodyguards from the naturals and sacrificed three others from Zaft security.

Removing both clips he quickly put new ones in as he moved again.

Using his abilities he knew where he could shoot and what spots to avoid.

Security was taking cover all over the place trying to move for a clean shot, the man wasn't even close enough to identify yet but it seemed like a monster.

Kira fired even using impossible shots to take down security personal, the naturals were out of bodyguards and only about two Zaft soldiers were left.

Kira was stopped behind the last pillar that led towards the table when he saw a fallen bodyguard next to him, reaching over he picked up the fallen bodyguard throwing the body out into the open and like he predicted the two remaining fired and gave away their position Using one gun Kira shot the first one and used his speed running towards the other one, the soldier moved to fire but it was far to late as Kira grabbed the gun.

It was now that the soldier recognized who it was.

Kira grabbed the mans neck and twisted it snapping it, dropping the man all that was left was unarmed council members and natural leaders.

All council members and leaders were cowering wondering why nobody was coming to their aide.

As the gun fire got close they saw their last soldier being lifted into the air and a snap followed by the man falling to the ground.

It was then they saw the man staring straight at them, his demonic eyes staring straight at them.

All on the natural side were feared, but it was shock for the council members.

Sarah's father looked as well, completely shocked, "Commander…"

Earth-Victorian Base

The assault by the Special Forces took out the small faction guarding it in no time; since they were ill equipped and they were caught off guard the Special Forces eliminated them in no time.

The commander of the team saw their time was running thin as they quickly moved in on the mass driver.

"Bring it in and load it to the launcher," the commander said as he put his technical people on the driver, they had to prepare it to launch something straight into space.

The other soldiers loaded up the deceased alliance soldiers and put them on sight, this was something that didn't really matter but just in case others started looking it was a precaution.

As the commander watched a special carrier with an important missile was brought in, for months they have guarded this and now it was time to launch it into space.

"Is it stable?" the commander asked.

"Yes sir, we are disengaging the safety protocols now," one said as they were loading it into a launcher.

The commander watched as a type one nuclear missile was loaded; this was a simple procedure Ryu came up with. They were making the alliance look like they were capable of launching attacks from the surface. The missile was targeted at the Plants but it would never get that far. The carrier was made to look like it could evade radar, once it neared destination the missile would be launched out and they were destroy the missile but the carrier would be recovered. An alliance symbol as well as data the alliance used was imputed inside of it.

Ryu knew people were starting to feel safe and secured, but after this he knew fear would return and the call for retaliation would be strong, this was how he would get his invasion justified. Plus they controlled the media so that would just add to their goal.

"We are ready sir," one said.

The commander cleared the mass driver as he gave the order and the missile was launched, it had never been tested but it looked good so far.

"Sir it has cleared the atmosphere," one said.

The commander smiled, "Mission complete, now all we do is lay low until Zaft personal lands on earth."

All agreed as their mission was a success it was all up to the chairman now.

Aprilious One -Councils Chamber

Sarah's father was stunned, "What is the meaning of this commander?"

Kira pointed the weapon and fired at the naturals first, one shot for each as they all fell, some begging for their lives but that didn't stop Kira.

Once all naturals fell the council was in complete fear.

"Why? This makes no sense," one said as the gun was pointed at him.

"You have got in our way for the last time," Kira said pulling the trigger again.

"What are you hoping to accomplish?" another asked backing away.

"The naturals will be destroyed and ultimate's will thrive," Kira said pulling the trigger again.

Other begged while Kira showed no mercy.

With three remaining it was Sarah's father that spoke, "You used us for support, and you used my daughter to get close to me didn't you?" he said a little outraged.

Kira looked straight at them finishing another off, "Precisely, however your daughter had other uses, be proud I gave her the honor of becoming the mother of one of the first new generation ultimates."

Kira said finishing the second one off.

The irony was he had to stop and reload for him.

"All of this, you won't get away with it," he said quickly as he was backed up into a wall.

"Don't discount His Excellency, Gil's death, the attack on the Plants the war we planned everything that well all that is left is to finish the earth and we will have justification soon enough," Kira said as he once again aimed his golden handgun straight to him.

He was now shaking, "You monster," he said.

Kira slightly smiled, "I know," Kira said as he pulled the trigger for the last time.

Sarah's father fell to the ground as Kira was left with the carnage in the room.

Bodies everywhere and a mess of blood was seen.

Kira holstered both of his weapons as he was now heading out of the room, quickly wiping a little blood off his face he threw the cloth on the floor and walked out stepping over the carnage as he was met with a loyalist team.

"Seal off the area, no one but his Excellency is to enter," Kira said leaving.

They knew this would bring up questions but with their control they would silence anyone that asked questions, as for the official record it will state the council members all resigned after the event that is about to happen and Ryu would be given full power. The council left the public eye and a new system of government was about to be born. If worse comes to worse they could always do what they did with Gil and blame the natural leaders that were visiting but they didn't think it would have to go that far. The council rarely appeared in public so if it went according to plan their first idea should work.

In fact Kira was thinking that the second option would be the best to use, he would discuss that with Ryu when he saw him in a few minutes.

Outside the Headquarters

Ryu was about to finish up questions when he got an alert from his staff, he knew what it meant, he had been at this for a few hours selling his idea.

Space

The carrier brought the missile towards the Plants at great speed, it just so happens that a small patrol fleet was in the area, Ryu had them patrol this area today as he knew they would intercept the missile.

The carrier headed for the assigned spot then it launched the missile.

Immediately the group got the alert as the captains were quickly stunned.

"All pilots launch," the captains said as they picked up the signature.

The pilots of the mobile suits launched as they intercepted the missile.

The captain gave the order to fire as the missile blew up in a bright light.

The captains knew contacted headquarters, and like predicted the carrier was picked up as they would examine it.

Little did they know Ryu had the entire thing caught on tape and the media caught it immediately.

Outside the Headquarters-Podium

As Ryu was about to leave he knew what the people rushing ahead were going to tell him.

Immediately images were now shown throughout the Plants of what had just happened.

Immediately media members turned to their chairman.

Ryu went back to the podium, "If all would remain I will make another statement shortly," Ryu said heading back inside to make it look like he was talking with military members.

Once inside he saw Kira and with a slight nod Ryu knew so far everything was going as they wanted and they should be on earth very shortly.

To be continued…

(A\N): One more chapter before we head to earth. The next chapter deals with the aftermath and the preparations to head to earth. Bye for now.
