Pacific Ocean Battle Part Three

Pacific Ocean-Aerial Battle

With Kira and Mu

Mu knew the Destroy had arrived; he could now leave this ship to that thing Sting was operating.

Mu turned as he saw the devil machine heading straight for him, now the true battle would begin.

Kira didn't waste any time with rifles he wanted Mu hand to hand. Pulling out one saber he combined it with another one but only used one beam as he charged right for him.

Mu countered grabbing his own high powered saber.

The two made a charge for each other as the two beams met in a thunderous roar. The suits stayed like that each trying to gain the upper edge.

Doomsday and Destroy

The Destroy arrived as it had its new armaments, this was a land based machine but it was equipped for this battle to remain in the air, this machine wasn't that maneuverable to begin with but now that would be even less. However just about everything inch of this thing was a weapon, this is something Mu knew would hopefully provide a challenge for that warship. The Destroy was big however compared to the Doomsday it barely took a chunk out of it.

Ryu watched as the machine seemed to move in, Ryu once again checked the database, and something did come back.

Their intelligence was on the verge of learning about this giant mobile suit but many details were still unknown.

"Sir?" Willard asked.

"Prepare to engage, the bigger it is the more fun it will be to see it fall," Ryu added as it was highly clear his confidence didn't lower itself.

All officers on the bridge went to work, all they had to do with Mu was hold him back but now they would likely see more fire power with this however with the armor Kira designed for this ship they weren't to worried.

"Tactical ready," that officer said.

"Propulsion confirmed," the helmsman added.

"Operations fully activated," that officer replied.

"Communications up," Sarah added, she was in this battle as well and wasn't to happy seeing that large mobile suit, she also knew Lacus would have had to of completed her task by now as well. Whether she had it or not they were leaving tonight, that is if they survived this battle, but this was one thing she was truly grateful to Kira for, he was one of if not the best in combat so she could be at ease she hoped in that area.

Other officers added in as Ryu nodded, "Prepare to fire."

Outside Sting was inside the Destroy, he steadied the machine as it defiantly wasn't that good in the air as it would have been on land but he was looking for this victory.

Sting moved the controls and prepared to enter it into attack mode, the only downside to that would be his movement would almost be at a halt when that happened.

Sting saw that killer battleship as he placed the machine into attack mode.

All watched as the machine almost like transformed as very long cannons on the back moved forward.

Sting was going to be the first to engage as he immediately fired the two high energy beam cannons mounted on the backpack.

With Shinn and Auel

Shinn was a little to occupied with the arrival of that large Destroy. Auel however took that change and moved in closer as Shinn was forced to go to the sky.

He had his eyes on that large machine but decided Auel had to be first, then he would get to that large machine before Kira, then he would have his glory.

Shinn got a new drive as he accelerated towards the water with his rifle ready.

With Kira and Mu

Kira kept an eye on that large machine as well while he was locked up with Mu.

"Wondering about the Destroy kid?" Mu asked through the radio.

"It will only be another check mark after I finish with you," Kira added keeping the stance.

Both were using their abilities at full skill, trying to find the one weak point.

"Found you," Kira said as he quickly broke the stance as Mu was lowering the guard a little towards his right side.

Kira broke the stance of their sabers and moved for a quick killer slash; however Mu got the saber down just in time.

Mu didn't like that, the last he remembered Kira's abilities were strong but now they were even better, just how far he could go Mu didn't know but that did worry him a little as Mu didn't remember dropping the guard stance towards that side a little.

"Impressive, but not impressive enough," Kira added lifting the rail cannons on the hips.

Mu backed off and went for altitude as Kira fired. One blast hit the lower leg but not to serious damage was done.

Mu however quickly countered with a shot that Kira didn't expect with his rifle, Kira quickly moved to evade however the blast nailed a part of unexposed armor in his shoulder.

The blast was nullified a little by some of the armor but most struck the joint leading the left shoulder to the body, that was a very small area and Mu was able to hit it.

Kira found it difficult to move the left arm a little but it was nothing he couldn't handle.

"You're getting careless kid," Mu added.

"I didn't think you were worthy enough but maybe I should take it up to the next level," Kira added.

Kira moved in again for another short range attack, Mu was going to counter with his own saber. Kira however had two sabers combined in one so instead of one beam now he activated the other and had a beam on each end.

Kira twirled it around as he moved for a quick slash; Mu lifted the shield with the beam connecting as Kira turned the saber around going for another slash as Mu countered with his own beam.

Kira wasn't stopping as he interchanged the beams and attacked continuously.

Mu was using his own saber and shield but the attacks were getting faster and faster.

Kira knew one thing, though they share the same abilities Mu was still a natural and Kira knew his body had a lot more stamina then a natural so he just had to wear him out.

Mu knew the strategy as well, he had to find an opportunity to attack or this was all over.

With the Doomsday and Destroy

With the Doomsday

Ryu saw the alert, "Countermeasures," Ryu ordered as the bridge crew did the best it could.

The ship was facing the Destroy on its side so they only had really half their main equipment to work with.

The three Gottfried cannons were aimed as well as the three Valliant's, all missile pods were opened on all sides, Duel Beam cannons and a few triple cannons were aimed in the direction already so Ryu gave the order.

The beam blasts were getting dangerously close as counter measures were launched into the air. They exploded emitting an extra layer of beam shielding temporally.

The Destroys Beams nailed the counter measures as they didn't hold the blast off very long but they limited its power. The beams broke through as they slammed straight into the haul, but with the beam shielding little damage was done to the armor plating, Stings range and the countermeasures did that attack little justice.

"Attack nullified sir," Willard added.

"Prepare a half borage," Ryu ordered.

All the weapons were aimed straight for the Destroy.

"Fire payload," Ryu ordered.

The tactical officer let them fly as all on that side shot a deadly wave of beams and a lot of missiles straight towards the Destroy.

With the Destroy

Sting waited for the attack to shoot but as it connected he saw they nullified most of the attack, "Rotten coordinators," Sting said as he knew he had to get closer. He started maneuvering the large machine but it was slower then ever for the size.

Sting then had another problem as he was alerted to the payload heading right for him.

There were three triple barrel Gottfried cannons which added nine shots plus all the rest.

Sting was doing his best to maneuver with the new aerial thrusters and was greatly maxing them out. Still in attack mode he fired more weapons, and something else he knew would help.

Sting aimed the high energy beam cannons again; the energy cannon on the head, the multiphase energy cannon on the torso and immediately fired the shots.

After he let loose he slightly smiled as he activated the positron reflective shield.

With both machines

Beams and missiles were all heading towards each other. Beams connected with each other with explosions and missiles exploded as they were caught in the path of the connecting beams.

Stings however were only meant to hit the other beams most did but some did get through.

The beams made their way unaffected as they connected with the shield the Destroy was emitting.

Sting felt the blast, this shield was designed for defending against beams but the Doomsday's output was extremely strong. The shield was breaking apart as broke through.

The beams hit the armor as Sting felt himself being knocked backward. The armor of the Destroy however did its job and he got no serious damage.

With the Doomsday

"Sir?" Willard asked as they watched the events.

Ryu saw what went on, "Not bad for a naturals design, but it will not be good enough bring the ship around and prepare for a full payload attack."

"Yes sir," the helmsman said as he began turning the ship.

"Sir," Willard said again.

Ryu looked to see the thing ready to fire again.

"Countermeasures," Ryu added.

With the Destroy

Sting regained his balance as the Destroy barely budged.

"Now it's my turn," Sting said with a smirk as he was going to fire a payload as his own.

Sting prepared his attack, with the weapons he used to nullify the Doomsday's blast; Sting also armed the twenty thermal plasma cannons located across the backpack. Sting fired the shot as now he brought the Destroy out of attack mode.

Beams were not only shot out towards the Doomsday but the shots on the backpack went in every direction.

Lower air and sea battle

With Shinn and Auel

Shinn fired shot after shot straight towards the Abyss, however Auel was able to move the machine underwater and make the shots useless. However what Shinn noticed was the damage that Kira caused was making the machine not staying submerged for long.

Auel came back up and firing the multi beam cannons, Shinn evaded as fired a few shots of his own.

One of the fins fell prey to Shinn's shot and exploded.

Auel shook from the impact, "You…you dare, you rotten loser!"

Shinn smirked moving for his saber.

Auel was ready to counter, with the beam lance in his hand he swung and the blades connected with each other as both thrusters were moving towards the other, they were trying to gain the upper hand on one another.

These two broke and dueled back and forth for a little while, it was highly clear that Shinn had the advantage.

Both however immediately got an alert however as the Destroy fired the shots from the backpack that went just about everywhere.

Shinn was forced to break and go up in the sky as Auel snarled.

"Watch it Sting!" Auel screamed through the radio.

Shinn saw his chance, with the saber he accelerated towards Auel again.

Auel turned and when he yelled at Sting and let down his attention for only a second but that second would end up being a deadly second.

Shinn let out a war cry as he drove the blade straight through the cockpit of the Abyss.

Auel didn't know how but he was defeated, something he never thought possible.

Shinn pulled the saber out as the Abyss exploded.

Shinn was pleased with himself as he watched that machine fall and now he set his sights straight at that Destroy. With Kira still battling that gold machine now was his chance as he flew right towards it and he wanted to go right past Kira as well as sort of a sticking it in his face kind of thing.

Aerial Battle

With Kira and Mu

Mu was hanging on against Kira's deadly assaults with that attached double saber.

Mu however was totally on the defensive; he couldn't get an attack in.

Kira swung the blade for his legs as Mu lowered it and blocked, Kira then delivered a kick with the suits leg straight for the torso. Mu tried raising the saber but Kira stopped the kick and countered with the other end of the saber. The attacks were getting fiercer and the movements faster. To Mu Kira truly was different, battle wise especially, he skill and endurance were at least triple from the battle that he regained his memories in.

However Mu knew he was slow in the left arm by at least half a second, most have been from the shot.

Kira knew that as well, his reaction was slowing by that much from a left attack, but that was why he was keeping the saber mostly in the right hand.

Mu blocked left and right but then saw the chance as Kira switched hands for the sabers; he had been timing this out.

He blocked the attack as he moved in for a fatal stab straight for that arm; the reaction was down and since Kira kept the body guarded he could at least take an arm off.

Kira's abilities however caught with that strategy, instead of taking the saber with that arm, Kira split the two sabers apart and now held one in each arm.

The stab was blocked with the left saber as Kira smirked, Mu was completely open.

"It's over," Kira added but he and Mu got that other alert.

It was the blast from the Destroy heading in every direction, they had wondered a little to close and was in range of the beams.

Kira backed off from the attack as activated the shield generator on his left arm nullifying the blast.

Mu was luckily cleared from the blast as well; luck hadn't failed him two times in a row.

Kira stared at that large machine, it was interfering with his battle and he wanted it out of the way.

"You have to be by far the luckiest person alive," Kira said over the radio.

Mu was breathing heavily, "I told you I make the impossible possible anyway I can get it kid…by the way your left arm seems a little slow."

"You will not be so lucky next time, I am growing very tired…and you seem to have lost another ally," Kira said as he saw the explosion.

Mu did as well.

With the Doomsday and Destroy

Doomsday

Countermeasures were launched again as they noticed the Destroy coming closer. The payload was a lot stronger this time but Ryu wasn't worried, however he was a little surprised that one of these things was that powerful.

The Doomsday was currently turning as Ryu wanted it to be, they were trying to face it dead on and then the fun could begin.

Willard saw the payload coming in as it connected with their countermeasure and once again it didn't hold the blasts off for long. They didn't have time to fire back as they were turning and some of the blasts broke through and struck the haul.

The bridge crew watched as one went straight through and for the genesis cannon's location, however that area was extra armored and one shot would never do it as the blast was dissolved immediately, however other blasts struck the ship, a few missile pods were destroyed but the rest of the armor held up. There were a few armor tears but nothing to serious it would take a lot more then one blast to breach the haul.

The bridge lightly shook but it was the biggest blast yet.

One thing that had to be remembered was this was the first real battle the crew was truly in that wasn't long range. So basically the crew was still unfamiliar with how this ship operated in almost close range combat like this one.

"Time?" Ryu asked as he wanted to know when they were facing it.

"Almost…almost…now," The helmsman said as they were turning during all that.

Ryu now smirked, "Fire all weapons."

"Yes sir," the tactical officer said as weapons were already ready and fully armed.

The officer targeted the Destroy as he opened fire.

The payload was launched as all missiles, beams and blasts were fired.

"Sir, the commander is contacting you," Sarah said.

Ryu took the com from his station as this would be interesting as he kept watch on the screen.

Destroy

Sting smiled as he saw his shots connect, smoke was generated as he thought for a split second he may have destroyed it.

However as it cleared all he saw was all that things weapons, probably only the genesis cannon wasn't on him.

"No way…" Sting said as he saw the weapons, he quickly transferred back into attack mode and he once again raised the shield.

As all blasts were heading straight for him.

Aerial Battle

With Kira Mu and Shinn

Mu saw that Auel blew up and this battle was one big mess, he didn't count on Kira gaining this much power and strength, this failure was his miscalculation.

"I can feel your sorrow Mu, you truly did fail," Kira told him.

Mu stared at him, "You have gotten stronger Kira, but even in all your darkness you lost what was once you're most powerful weapon."

"What was that? Let me guess my naive logic?" Kira said mocking him.

"No, you lost your heart," Mu added accelerating towards him quickly.

Kira saw he was fast but just not fast enough, Mu slashed down as Kira flipped right behind it and moved in for a killer slash.

"It's over Mu," Kira said moving as quickly as he could with a almost god like swing.

Kira expected it to go straight through him but what he saw was Mu had blocked the attack.

"Your getting careless," Mu added breathing heavily again.

"Impressive, but like your natural buddies weak," Kira said now moving to overpower him.

"You say that about that machine as well?" Mu asked about the Destroy.

"Don't worry," Kira said getting an idea, "We will pick this up again in a second," Kira added.

Mu looked confused.

Kira broke the stance as he quickly slashed at him, Mu raised the shield as he was to slow, Kira cut the shield in half as Kira slammed the Armageddon straight into the Akatsuki.

Mu shook a little as he got the saber up to counter what he saw was going to be Kira's slash but Kira had another matter in mind.

Shinn was making his way over their as he saw the intense battle.

"That machine is mine," Shinn said moving faster.

Kira saw that fool going for that machine.

Kira quickly spun the machine around and accelerated power into his swing.

Mu raised the saber and blocked it but as he did Kira took hold of him as Mu tried regaining control but couldn't or the saber would cut him in two.

Kira had the Akatsuki by the head and spun him around throwing him straight ahead.

Shinn flew by focused on that monster and getting at Kira, which he got the alert late.

The Akatsuki was coming straight at him. Shinn slammed on the petals but the suit collided with his own.

Mu was being knocked around as Shinn dropped thrusters as the two were falling towards the ocean and landed straight in the ocean.

"Good day for a swim? You need not worry Mu, I will be back for you, but until then play with that loser until I get this unwanted guest out of our way," Kira said as this Destroy was getting to close and he didn't want the battle interfered with, and he wanted that machine to himself, then he would finish off Mu.

Kira knew what Shinn was doing so he took advantage of what Shinn wanted to do and now Shinn had a new problem and it was gold.

Kira flew off as he contacted Ryu.

With Kira and Ryu

Kira saw the action as Ryu came on, "What is it commander?"

"I will bring that suit down sir," Kira told him.

"You're leaving La Flaga to bring this suit down?" Ryu asked.

"I will finish with him when I am done, I want this machine," Kira said.

Ryu slightly smiled, one reason was all they were doing in this battle was exchanging a fire fight between the Doomsday and Destroy, it was just like back and forth so he was interested in how that could play out, and second Kira's hunger for battle was still as strong as ever and he wanted to be the first to engage this machine individually, but another reason was Kira wanted to scan it as well, with the new upgrades what this thing has it was worth knowing.

"Very well, we are preparing to fire, this will bring down the shield it is all up to you after that," Ryu added.

"Yes sir," Kira replied as the shots from the Doomsday were finally fired.

Doomsday and Destroy

With the Destroy

When the Doomsday fired the second time there was a lot more fire power and he was worried his shield couldn't hold up to it. Sting had no time to mount a counterattack this time as it took forever to maneuver this thing around in the air.

The Shield was activated as the blasts nailed him head on. The output was strong but this time there were just more beams. Sting felt the blasts push him back; he machine started dangerously rocking as Sting looked up and saw the shield starting to break apart.

"Impossible," Sting said as the blasts then tore straight through the shield. That did weaken the beams but they still delivered a great blow.

The positron shield burned completely out as the backpack took most of the damage since he was in attack mode, even with the new upgrades they made it just couldn't stand up to the power.

The Destroy didn't suffer fatal damage but just about every weapon on the backpack and head was destroyed.

The missiles were next as it was highly draining on the armor. Sting couldn't control it anymore as the machine toppled over and fell into the ocean.

The splash was enormous as for a second it looked as if that monster was down for the count.

With the Doomsday

"We have it down sir, shall we finish it off?" Willard asked wanting to finish it with the Lohengrins.

"Hold fire, leave the rest to the commander, our role is now finished," Ryu ordered.

"Sir…isn't that…" Willard tried to say.

"Are you questioning me captain?" Ryu asked.

"Never sir…it's just that it's right there we should finish it," Willard replied.

"That would be no fun then, I want to see what the commander can do with that mammoth," Ryu replied as he sat back and now watched.

Willard and the rest followed orders.

"Work on giving me a damage report and do all those captain things if your bored," Ryu added again as he wanted to see this.

"Yes sir," Willard replied as he did all that he would after a battle.

Aerial Battle-away from the Destroy

With Mu

Mu knew that was a lucky situation he was just in as he resurfaced. Had he been anyone without the abilities of Kira then he would be dead.

Mu saw the Doomsday land a deadly blow on the Destroy as Mu knew it would take a lot more then just one to eliminate that warship. Mu knew there was only one thing left to do as Shinn rose from the surface.

Mu now had to take care of this as he went for the sky.

With Shinn

Shinn cursed as he landed in the water, he wanted to show off and now he was paying for that, Kira took advantage of him going to do a flyby and threw this machine straight at him.

Shinn looked ahead as Kira was now well in range of getting to that machine first even though it just landed in the ocean.

Shinn saw in the camera the gold machine had resurfaced again and if he couldn't have the Destroy he would have this machine, one Kira abandoned just to get to that machine.

"He wants to show me up then I will beat the machine he didn't," Shinn said as he could use this to his advantage.

Shinn watched Mu go for the sky as he followed.

With Mu and Shinn

Mu reached for the beam rifle as Shinn did the same; they began exchanging fire with each other.

Shinn expected this machine to be small like the last time but it was several times better, the moves were almost if not faster then his. Shinn soon realized if he didn't take this battle seriously then he would be destroyed.

Mu was without his shield so he couldn't use that so he couldn't take the chance and had to dodge everything.

Shinn dodged a blast as he released his beam boomerang.

Mu got the alert but his abilities were doing most of the work, he quickly spun around that taking hold of the saber and slicing the boomerang in half before launching a quick shot with his rifle.

Shinn knew this was going to be close as he didn't expect the speed, he tried dodging but Mu landed the shot on his right leg. It hit just in the right spot as the leg exploded.

Shinn tried regaining as Mu fired again, but this time the shot was in a place Shinn was moving to dodge.

Shinn was able to evade this assault but he was growing frustrated, "It's like he knows what I am going to do before hand."

Mu could detect the rage and he knew one thing about this pilot already, in pure rage as he was getting he would get careless.

Shinn accelerated towards him as Mu raised the saber again. Shinn had his own as they connected with each other.

Mu got an ability alert as Shinn raised that palm beam cannon straight to his torso.

Mu quickly broke the stance as he sliced upwards at high speed.

Shinn once again didn't expect that kind of response from a natural. The saber slashed upward and took the hand straight off the Destiny as Shinn flew backwards.

"Impossible, I cannot be defeated by the likes of you!" Shinn yelled in full rage.

He charged again.

"Someone without the new ability cannot defeat me, just let it go," Mu said really not wanting to destroy this machine, for some reason he didn't want to but would if pushed far enough.

"Never...I will not stop until I defeat you and then him!" Shinn yelled again, taking hold of his anti ship sword.

Shinn moved in and swung the sword.

Mu however saw it coming the entire way, he ducked the attack as he spun with his own saber and sliced the other leg off the Destiny, Mu got to the back of it as he sliced up and then took the arm, the impact spun Shinn around.

Mu then raised the rifle to the Destiny's head and fired. The head exploded as the machine went falling to the waters below.

Mu watched as both legs and one arm was gone, the machine had no head and the last arm was missing the hand. Mu however kept his word to himself he couldn't destroy that pilot for some reason.

Shinn was stunned, no one since Kira could best him and now he lost his edge to a natural, he heard the come about the abilities didn't know what that meant but one thing was for certain he was truly bested, that didn't change his anger and attitude however as for the first time in a mobile suit, Shinn felt defeat.

Mu was completely worn out as he looked ahead and saw the developments of the Destroy.

Aerial Battle-Near the Doomsday

With Sting

Sting finally got the machine back to the surface as he tried stabilizing the thing, he was damaged and badly but he still had weapons.

Sting got back upright as he got an alert from behind.

It wasn't long before he was shaking again as a blast ripped across his back.

With Kira

Kira watched the Destroy take the damage from the Doomsday but then it rose back after a few minutes. Kira saw his chance as he accelerated faster towards it.

Kira watched as it stabilized itself as he lifted the plasma beam cannons over the shoulders and raised his rifle.

Kira got where he wanted as he fired the three shots at that machines back.

The blasts connected as Kira saw a few explosions as Kira flew straight in front of it.

With Kira and Sting

Those blasts nearly knocked him over again, as the machine was already damaged. Sting saw what did the damage.

"You will not beat me," Sting said as he went out of attack mode since those weapons were all but dead.

Sting raised the arm as the retractable arm shot out at him.

Kira saw the attack as he was scanning this thing every time it did something new, Kira used the speed as he evaded the attack and fired the plasma cannons again at the arm.

They connected as the arm was now heavily damaged.

"You better provide me a better challenge, I was having more fun with Mu," Kira said as it seemed as if the big guy here was just all of what it looked, size.

Sting didn't hear that but he certainly provided what Kira wanted as he prepared to fire all his remaining weapons. This was his last chance, he was to heavily damaged to do anything else.

The energy cannon on the torso, the remaining hand beam cannons, and the missile launchers were all aimed. Sting yelled as he let loose the firepower.

"That's what I am talking about," Kira said with a slight smile.

The blasts were coming straight at him as he went to work. The energy cannon was the first to be dodged.

Kira then spun around and turned through the hand beams that shot at him, Kira used the Vulcan's on the head to destroy a few missiles as he used the rifle for the rest.

Sting wasn't finished as Kira went through all that only to shoot out the retractable arm again. Kira quickly removed the saber as he spun right along side the arm and contacting the saber as he spun. Damage was being done along the arm as Kira cleared all that.

However Kira noticed something as he dropped the beam rifle in the left arm, that arm which was damaged by Mu nearly cost him here.

Kira however cleared the arm as he was right in front of the machine.

Sting did his last desperate act with CIWS firing normal rounds.

Kira raised the generator as the shots were countered with the generator.

When the firing stopped Kira raised the beam saber, "Not what I hoped, but maybe I will get another chance someday," Kira told himself.

Sting could only look on as Kira pointed the saber and rammed it straight through the cockpit.

Sting had no chance as the cockpit exploded.

Kira backed off removing another saber as he started hacking away on the machine, the machine had enough damage as Kira backed away.

The machine blew sky high as the mighty Destroy was taking down. The credit for the battle really had to go to the Doomsday, since Kira knew it was damaged so he hoped he would meet a better one in the future.

Kira then remembered Mu.

With Mu

Mu finished Shinn by the time Kira got right up to the cockpit, Mu knew he couldn't make it in time as Kira shoved it in.

Mu winced as all these people were destroyed for his plan. Mu knew one thing as he looked on, that this battle couldn't be won.

Mu reluctantly but smartly took this opportunity and retreated.

Air with Kira

Kira got a com from Ryu as the machine blew up.

"Well done commander," Ryu told him.

"Not much of a challenge though sir," Kira replied.

"I am sure we will see more of those in the future and you can have one all to yourself," Ryu replied.

"Now I will finish what I started sir," Kira replied.

"Delay that order commander, he has escaped," Ryu ordered.

Kira quickly turned the machine around, "That fool couldn't keep him busy for a few minutes," Kira replied angrily.

"The Destiny is still floating on the surface for some reason, recover the machine and then come back in," Ryu ordered.

"I can still catch him sir," Kira replied.

"I know you can commander, but let him take the knowledge back and let the alliance learn their main weapon was destroyed so easily by us, I will now lift the restrictions I placed on you so come back in," Ryu replied.

"Yes sir," Kira said knowing what that meant and he wouldn't question Ryu's decisions.

Doomsday

Bridge

"Congratulations on the victory sir," Willard told Ryu.

"With Jibril out of the way now or fun can truly begin, when we strike the heart of the alliance capitol," Ryu said standing up.

"Yes sir," Willard saluted as Ryu left.

Sarah however heard everything that happened; with the battle over she reached in her pocket and pulled out the codes she got.

Whatever they wanted to do she wasn't going to be around to see it as since they were going too remained stationed for the night she and Lacus were getting out of here.

Sarah implanted the codes as she disguised them in her system, no one really gave her that much credit around here but she was by far one of the best programmers on the ship so she knew they would never find what she was doing.

Children's Room

Lacus saw more sadness as she caught her children watching the monitor in another room, the children were sad about it but she was that more of her friends were gone, she didn't know a lot of them but Yzak, Shiho, and she knew that whoever was in that Akatsuki wasn't Cagalli but she figured with that skill it had to be Neo, that was the only option she could think of that could match Kira.

What concerned her was the children were glad about their father's victory, she knew Sarah had better implant those codes because she was getting out of here.

Outside-Destiny's wreckage

Kira made his way over to the Destiny, Shinn was still on the surface as the thrusters were still working and he used them to stay on the surface of the water.

Kira was right above him as he stared at him, "What a mess you got yourself into, I thought I told you to keep him busy."

Shinn snarled, "I can still win, but he retreated like a coward!"

Kira now laughed, "Yes, I am sure you could have splashed water on him with one arm, which would have brought him down."

"I…" Shinn tried to say.

"You will nothing!" Kira's attitude immediately changed, "He retreated because he was smart enough to know he couldn't win, he wouldn't futilely fight with his life not in danger, that is called strategy and discipline something you need more of," Kira said deadly as he bent down and picked up the Destiny by the torso.

Shinn said no more but was angrier then ever.

"You fail like this again and I will have no more use for you, I will finish you myself is that clear?" Kira asked.

Shinn said nothing.

"Is that clear!" Kira now shouted.

Shinn knew he meant what he said and if he didn't answer he would probably finish him off, "Clearly…sir!" Shinn said sarcastically.

"Good," Kira said liking his attitude, Kira knew if Shinn had the skill like he believed he should grow from this and become a more powerful pawn.

Kira and Shinn went back as today's battle gave them tremendous results.

To be continued...

(A\N): This was a full battle chapter, the next chapter Lacus and Sarah start their escape plan, as Kira finds what he wants. See you later.
