Chapter Sixty Four

Unite or Perish

Alliance Headquarters

Meeting Room

They were bickering again as Cagalli came on screen.

"You people are truly fools," Cagalli said extremely bluntly as all stopped bickering and stared straight at her.

Cagalli stared in from the terminal she was broadcasting from; she could see the many alliance leaders inside and many others on video link that weren't there. Another thing she did notice was many alliance leaders whose nation had already been conquered were all here. Apparently when Zaft attacked they fled like cowardly dogs, but Cagalli had to put all of that aside.

Despite her having to make a deal with the alliance she still didn't like it, but she knew what had to be done and they needed the military power of the earth alliance, everything on earth right now needed to be united and under Jibril that just wasn't happening. Even now they were putting politics above everything else, she wouldn't be surprised if some leaders denied Zaft was still a threat and they should try and talking to them or something useless like that.

The leaders were first shocked how Cagalli even got into the conference with her link, but her words were harsh and even though true many didn't approve of that.

Cagalli prepared herself for if they didn't agree to this the world would be in grave danger.

Minutes before Cagalli tuned into the conference

"Are you sure this will work?" Cagalli asked.

Mu nodded his head, "The code is one of Jibril's it will break through anything and put you straight through."

"What I am worried about is releasing this to Kira?" Cagalli asked.

All knew they were going to use a signal that Zaft could easily intercept, but Cagalli know if they should let Zaft know about the plans they stole.

It was a legitimate argument but they decided that it was best to let them intercept the call and hear that they know of their grand plan. That way Kira wouldn't waste time coming after them and Zaft would have to highly switch their strategy. Cagalli wanted one thing from this meeting and that was for alliance cooperation, they wouldn't release what they were coming up with to stop it as Zaft would get this video link, but they did want the alliance to agree to come to aide when the time came so to speak.

Cagalli got all the information she needed as Lacus nodded to her as she made the call.

Present-Headquarters Meeting Room

The first one to speak up after Cagalli tuned in was none other then the Atlantic Federation President, or in a way one of Jibril's main puppets.

"Representative Atha, we were not aware your government was still functioning, such a tragedy that befell upon your nation," the president told her.

Cagalli wanted badly to strangle him, after all this time they are now sending their condolences, it made her sick but she needed their power.

"Thank you, it only took almost a month," Cagalli however did reply, and like she knew it didn't get through their political minds.

"We are currently discussing the Zaft evasion, I would be happy to speak with you later," the president told her but Cagalli cut him off, it was becoming more and more difficult to contain herself.

"You and the rest will need to hear what I say," Cagalli told them.

"I am sure we will but for right now we are in important matters that cannot be ignored, we have issues that must be dealt with," the president told her.

Cagalli knew exactly what they were doing, they were treating her this way because of her age and the fact that Orb had been badly damaged, she knew these type of politicians well; all were snot nose cowards that followed Jibril because he promised them power and a way to keep them in office. Now that he was gone she knew half wanted that position, a quarter wanted to negotiate with Zaft an end to the war peacefully, and the rest of the quarter of leaders wanted to wash their hands of this completely and be done with it and let Zaft destroy the nations still willing to fight.The white flag strategy which was the worst case of cowardice in her book.

"Tell me president, since I am a nation of earth and since I still have a strong military force, I would like to know what you were coming up with?" Cagalli asked curiously.

The president decided to go along, "We are discussing on the matters with the war, many of us are trying to elect a new supreme chairman, like they have in Plants."

Cagalli knew she was right on, they were trying to find someone to replace Jibril but many nations wanted that role.

"However once we do that the best course of action would be to contact the Zaft leadership and try to find a way to end the war, we would elect our new ruler and they would be in charge of negotiating with Zaft," The president said.

Cagalli had to hold her composure, negotiating with Kira and Ryu, like that would ever happen in a million years. Cagalli listened as the idiot went on.

"Others however are trying to cut ties with us, and that is something many of us are not comfortable with, and some of our others leaders want this war to continue," the president added.

Cagalli knew truly all were fools, Kira wasn't just going to stop attacking nations that stopped obeying the alliance, he wanted them all dead. Such irony was in place here, all her and Lacus did most was try and prevent war, but now they needed one and they needed one badly. She found out what the alliance wanted to do from this little conversation was try and negotiate another peace treaty, while others wanted to leave completely and others wanted to keep the war going.

The high and mighty alliance leadership for you, truly pathetic, they were letting Jibril do everything and just reaping the glory, despite the leaders whose nations were already lost to Zaft many were still thinking they were in a fantasy world, but now it was time to prove to them reality.

"It is that president, and that alone which is why I call you all fools," Cagalli told them sternly.

"Surly the need for that is unnecessary…" the president said as Cagalli was now sending them all images.

"I will show you the truth, I will show you what we are truly up against, one of my members obtained Zaft's greatest classified data, I will forcefully pull all of you into reality," Cagalli told them as now she began showing them and telling them about the operation.

With Mu and the rest

Mu and the others were in the room with Cagalli as they looked at the technicians in the room.

They were sending this signal to the alliance headquarters through a video link Jibril used, but the technicians put it on a frequency that they knew Zaft would intercept. This was their way of telling them that they got the data and it had been released to all alliance nations. This would make it useless to come after them to try and destroy those plans.

They then watched very closely as Cagalli continued on with the extremely important meeting. One thing was for certain it looked like she had their attention now. If she didn't pull this off then the world was gone, Kira and Ryu would ultimately win.

Doomsday

Ryu's Office

Ryu was going over their invasion reports the field commanders were ordered to transfer every day as he waited for Kira to come back with news from the interrogation.

However Ryu was about to get some other news he wasn't going to be happy about in the least.

Ryu saw he was getting a transmission from one of the doomsdays control rooms.

Ryu pushed the button on his phone, "Make it quick."

"Sir…we just intercepted a transmission signal coming from Orb," the officer said.

Ryu thought for a second, "A transmission signal?"

"Yes sir, but it's strange, they encoded it with a frequency code, it was almost as if they wanted it to be found," the officer replied.

"Destination?" Ryu asked now a little curious.

"It is a special signal sir, Atlantic Federation capitol, North American continent, capitol Washington," the officer replied.

Ryu suddenly got a huge feeling, he was feeling this one for awhile but now it truly hit him.

"What is it concerning?" Ryu asked.

"I better transfer it to you sir," the officer replied transferring the signal to Ryu.

Ryu tapped into his terminal as he saw the signal, and what he saw is everything Cagalli saw, and he could hear everything.

Private Floor-Room One

Kira removed one hand leaving another on her left shoulder.

She couldn't do this, but she could say anything either.

Sarah was breathing a little heavy as immediately she screamed in tremendous pain.

Kira sliced quickly with a knife making a wound right about her collar bone, it wasn't about three inches long and wasn't that deep but what killed was he clamped down with his remaining hand right above her collar bone, he was using all his strength as he dug into her wound striking several nerves with his right hand.

She had never felt anything like this before, the pain was tremendous, Kira was probably one of the most strength filled people alive, and he was using that to dig deep into her shoulder, whatever he hit is was truly painful.

This pain was agonizing her as she couldn't contain a scream, but what hurt the most was the look on her ultimate son's face, he was…enjoying it. His arms were lifting up and down as he heard the cries, with all those programs they put him through he loved every sound of pain.

She could barely lift her one arm where he dug his hand into the wound and the other she clamped around his hand but she was now match strength wise for him.

Kira said nothing as he dug around, with a small wound he made he knew it would cause her more discomfort as he dug around and nailed all those nerves.

"No matter how impressed I am you still highly disappointed me, I would have given you it all," Kira told her digging around again.

She screamed again, but she was holding strong so far.

"I know how this hurts, just tell me what I want to know and I will stop, what are you and Clyne really up to?" Kira asked.

She still said nothing as he started twisting his hand around again.

"Do you think I enjoy causing you such pain?" Kira asked.

Sarah did respond to that, "You do…" she said as she truly screamed again as he dug deeper.

"How right you are my dear, but the luxury you cannot wish for will not happen," Kira told her.

Sarah didn't know how much more she could take, but what he said she understood.

"I need you alive so I can keep the pain up and you cannot hope for death to relieve it like so many others did, make it easier on yourself, but he seems to enjoy this so I can keep it up all day," Kira said looking at the ultimate.

Sarah did as well, her own son loving how his father tortured her, she couldn't blame him it was how Kira was raising him, and she knew if she wasn't allowed back into his life then that was how it would be, at least with her around she could have a chance of making him right, but she couldn't jeopardize everything as well, she was cut off from the outside world and didn't know what was going on so now she had a big choice to make.

Kira noticed she was hanging on strong but he pulled his hand from her wound as she cried out again and then clutched her shoulder.

Kira reached in his jacket and pulled out a syringe, walking back over to her wound.

She saw him coming as she backed off she didn't want any part of that.

Kira was able to remove her hand as he injected it into her wound.

"What?" Sarah asked.

Kira smiled, "Just a little nerve agent I like to use, soon every nerve in your body will feel like it has been severed, you thought that was bad you haven't seen anything yet," Kira said finishing the injection.

Kira tossed the needle down as he sat in a chair and then she saw he actually propped his feet on a table.

She felt nothing at first, but that soon changed, what she felt before wasn't anything as she felt now.

Onogoro Headquarters

Com Room

Cagalli finished explaining as she watched their once arrogant eyes grow very big.

She finished up with this sentence as she already had told them everything.

"The only question now is will you sit back and allow yourselves to be destroyed or will you stand up and lend us your power?" Cagalli asked.

Alliance members were in total shock.

"Maybe this is wrong?" one member said.

"Are you crazy they are going to wipe us all out," another added.

"I still think we should stick to the plan, that is probably just a scare tactic," another said.

If Cagalli could go through the screen she would have shot each and every one of these fools, but she did see some progress.

Cagalli looked over as she saw Lacus nodding to her.

Cagalli knew Lacus wanted to say something, she had influence with some coordinators but Cagalli wasn't sure about letting her talk to the alliance, but with how things were looking Cagalli knew why not give it a shot.

Lacus took the seat, "If you would please excuse me and allow me a minute of your time."

All turned to here her, this girl was no natural and some did kind of recognize her, and others knew her right away.

"My name is Lacus Clyne, and I was the one that discovered these plans," Lacus told them.

"The daughter of the once Zaft chairman Siegel Clyne," one answered.

"She's a coordinator how can you trust the word of a coordinator?" another asked.

Others however did have dealings with her father so knew her during the first war and knew of her ambassadorship to Zaft for Orb. Others just hated her, but the most did take this threat seriously.

"She can be trusted," another older leader spoke up and said.

A few others came to her defense since they knew her father and her.

The Atlantic president then stood up, "Because of the dire situation I will permit it."

"Thank you, I know many just see me as another coordinator but I can tell you not many in the Plants have the true story of what is going on down here on the earth, the Zaft chairman owns the media and only what he wants is reported to Plants, I know for a fact that many coordinators would find this war appalling, and many do stand with Orb against them, the reason this war started was because of the hatred between the naturals and coordinators, the chairman is using that as an excuse to justify his actions on earth, but as you have been told by Cagalli they go much further then that," Lacus explained.

All were listening, mostly anyway.

"Your earth, no our earth is home to both naturals and coordinators, we must put the hatred behind us if we are going to survive this battle, I know for a fact that the chairman will not sit down and negotiate a treaty, nor will he allow nations to survive that just pull out and try to sit it out," Lacus told them.

That made alliance leaders who held that position a little angry but it made them think as well.

"I have worked most of my life to prevent war, but now I am not only saying we should fight another war, what I am saying is we should fight our own extermination, if we do not fight all of us, now matter who we are or what we believe will be destroyed, I am asking, I am begging that for the sake of you and your children and for the future children to come that you agree with Miss Cagalli's proposition," Lacus explained to them.

The room went quiet.

Cagalli came back on, "I have made the case and I have given you all the information I have, it is up to you, will we fight? Or will we die?"

The president looked around, "We will discuss the matter and get back to in a few minutes," The president said as he paused the link to speak to the others privately.

After that Cagalli and Lacus looked to each other as they did the best they could.

Now it was up to the rest.

It took five minutes before Cagalli got the image again; it appears they have their answer.

Doomsday-Private Floor

Room One

Sarah was agonizing at what she felt. The pain was slowly getting to her minute by minute before it would hit her in a burst. That same pattern repeated itself, this drug was meant to keep the pressure on her at all times. Seeing her son's face was only making everything worse and she was starting to crack. Kira never failed to crack anybody and she would be no exception.

Kira was still placed in the chair, legs propped up as he was playing with his pills. He kept tossing one up in the air before catching it in his mouth. She knew he was completely playing around with her.

Suddenly another wave of pain shot through her as she cried out.

Kira looked in that direction still playing with his pills, "Would you mind keeping it down over there?" Kira said mockingly.

"You better not be running out of steam yet, I am only in the basics," Kira told her turning away again.

Sarah got through that round as she was just about drained, what Kira said was highly true, what he could do was far worse but she didn't know if she was prepared for all that, she didn't know how much longer she could hold on here.

The one thing working in her favor was Kira didn't need her with broken bones, or visual wounds or anything like that, he needed her to remain in a good appearance for when he was seen publicly so she knew she wouldn't have to worry about that type of torture he preferred using, the damage he could do would remain visible for a long while so she knew he was being highly cautious in what he does, but if he got desperate enough she knew that could change.

Finally that waved stopped as she sat back, he didn't keep her restrained at all, that was a good thing as she tried to regain her breath, but after each waved stopped it left behind a little stronger after effects of pain that got stronger after each wave.

She was finally able to look up at Kira.

"With the push of a button I could have the pain stopped, now tell the commander what he wants to know," Kira told her referring to himself.

Sarah said nothing as another quicker wave was coming.

"Ought oh, here we go again," Kira said.

She cried out again, as she saw him and her own son enjoying this.

"Maybe we should all scream and make her feel at ease," Kira told them.

Like on cue she saw her own son let out a mock scream, like he responded to Kira.

Kira looked down at him, "You better not be as loud as she is when you're grown up," Kira said.

Kira stood up and then paced, "Well considering I don't really feel like waiting that long, a present for you ultimate," Kira said to him.

Sarah was calming again as her eyes went wide, Kira reached into his belt and pulled out one of his handguns.

Fear completely shot through her mind.

Kira took the safety off as she watched him hand the weapon down to him.

The ultimate looked at the weapon as Sarah watched him take it with his two hands; it was like a large metal toy to him.

"What…are you…doing?" she managed to get out.

"I should tell you in his programs he saw how to handle a weapon, now if he accidentally turned it on himself and pulled the trigger that could be a mess," Kira told her.

"You wouldn't," Sarah got out again as another wave of pain shot to her, but this time despite the pain her motherly instinct was far suppressing that, but was also falling to it.

Kira watched as the small boy was moving the weapon around, he had two hands on it, and the weapon Kira used was quite heavy so he couldn't yet hold it with just one hand, but it was impressive he could pick it up at all.

"You need him," she told him quickly.

Kira darkly smiled, "I could always have another," Kira said as he kept his eyes on her.

Sarah watched as Kira then pointed the weapon ahead and put the ultimate's finger on the trigger. She saw from his eyes he got what she feared, he grew impatient and turned into what she hated the most, but he seemed to enjoy it this time.

Sarah saw it was pointed at her.

"Just wait until I tell him he killed his own mother, you have tried my patience long enough, lets play a game," Kira said as he was moving the weapon back and forth from Sarah to the ultimate.

"You better tell me quickly, no telling when he will pull the trigger," Kira told her.

Sarah was now losing it, she was using all the power she had but even through her strong instinct that drug just had her to drained to get up from that spot.

The gun was going back and forth with her son's small hand on the trigger, to her and back to him.

"I sense it's nearly game over, you better hurry," Kira told her.

Sarah lost it.

"Here it comes," Kira said.

"Alright I will tell you," she sobbed out.

"To late," Kira said.

Sarah quickly looked up, "It's the plans!" she yelled as it was too late and she saw the trigger pulled as she aguishly screamed.

Onogoro Headquarters

Com Room

Cagalli and the others had their breath held as they saw the alliance leadership.

"Representative," the president said.

The president looked around again, "With ninety five percent of the vote we will join you."

Cagalli sighed on the inside.

Around the room Cagalli was in it was the same thing, but some were happier then they could express.

Lacus sat back as now they had a fighting chance.

"The question is what we do now?" the president said.

Cagalli looked at him, "My staff is currently drawing up plans from the data we gathered, we will be able to contact you soon with the strategy, for now just keep your forces at full alert and battle ready, as we won't have much time."

"Agreed, we will sent a link with our full arsenal, use whatever you like…we are counting on all of you to take the lead on this," the president said as for once they had to put the earth above themselves and take a step back.

Sure the five percent that voted against this wasn't happy but that was there problem, the major players, the Atlantic, Eurasian and Orb were in total agreement and they were the top three powers so that is all that truly mattered.

"Thank you again president, we will get back to you as soon as he set things up, it won't be long," Cagalli told him.

They signed out as the president kept his word and sent over the alliances arsenal.

Cagalli just had one small problem, they didn't truly have a full strategy yet, but they needed the alliances cooperation, so there was nothing wrong with a little lie.

"You did well," Lacus told her.

"So did you," Cagalli replied.

"Now we just have one problem in what are we going to do to stop this?" Athrun asked.

Mu came in, "From what I gather and I will still need to look at the data the alliance just sent us, but I believe I have a way," Mu told them.

"Do what you need to," Cagalli told him as Mu went off to look over everything, he believed what he came up with would work but it was dangerous, then again everything was dangerous so they couldn't let that stop them.

After he left Cagalli gave orders to severe that frequency they were using.

"Any chance they got that?" Cagalli asked.

"Yes Lady Cagalli, they would have to have children monitoring the radio waves if they didn't," the officer said.

"Make sure now it is not traced when we sent the alliance our plan," Cagalli told him.

"Yes ma'am," the officer said going straight to work.

Lacus slightly smiled as she looked at Cagalli, "If you don't mind I have to be excused for a little while," Lacus said.

"The children?" Cagalli asked.

Lacus nodded as she didn't yet tell Cagalli about that, but with this going on she would wait.

"I am sorry and will explain, but I still need some time alone with them," Lacus told her.

Cagalli nodded as Lacus left.

Things were weird there but she respected Lacus' choice for now.

Doomsday

Ryu's Office

Ryu heard everything up to the point where the alliance agreed.

After he heard what was spoken, his fist slammed straight through the terminal as it nearly dented the metal table he used.

Ryu stood up as he paced around for a second; he had never felt anger this high before, they knew everything.

Ryu then opened the door as a few soldiers were there, but they started shaking a little when they saw him, he looked like he was ready to tear them in half.

"Bring the commander to me immediately, tell him to drop what he is doing," Ryu ordered.

"Now!" Ryu shouted as they took off.

Ryu went back in as they had problems and now strategy would have to change.

Room One

Sarah heard saw that trigger pulled as the weapon wasn't pointed at her; she lost it as she didn't hear a blast.

She quickly looked down to see the weapon not where she liked it but nothing happened.

Kira however was smirking a little, "Your fear gave me my answer, I never had it loaded, now tell me of these plans?" Kira didn't feel like waiting around forever so he was going to use the most important thing she feared for and that was the ultimate. He knew despite all she knew he couldn't do to her or wouldn't do that she feared for the ultimate's safety and let all her guard and defenses down. She knew Kira couldn't harm either her or the ultimate for he needed them but she feared too strongly for her son that she let that drive her and now here was the result.

Sarah had to stop shaking with fear for her son for a second. He was fine and as happy as well the ultimate could be. She was glad Kira took the weapon back but now he had something.

"What plans?" Kira said using his abilities again.

The door however opened as it was the officers Ryu sent.

"Sir, the chairman wants to see you immediately sir," the soldier said.

"Can't you see I am busy?" Kira asked.

"He said now sir, no matter what," the soldiers said.

Kira nodded as they left the room.

"Don't worry, I will be back and I will have what I want," Kira said leaving the room.

Sarah still felt the effects of the drug as she was now succumbing to it more, but at least her son was safe and Kira left at least for a little while.

Ryu's Office

Kira arrived as he knew immediately Ryu wasn't happy.

"Sir," Kira said.

Ryu started angrily explaining.

Kira felt that anger as well, now what Sarah said made sense the plans, but the plans were locked away.

"They couldn't have broken into the compartment," Kira said.

"They got it somehow, you did have four children on board remember," Ryu said angrily.

"That scanner was designed for my exact DNA, parts shouldn't have been able to open it," Kira said as he turned around and went out of the room.

The soldiers followed as they didn't know what to do, all they knew was the two big shots were highly angry and the commanders eyes were as dark as they could ever be.

Kira's Quarters

Kira walked in and over towards the compartment as he slid the panel over, immediately as he looked at the scanner it had been tampered with. Kira placed his hand on as the scanner accepted his pattern as it slid open.

Kira looked in as he saw a large folder but as he picked it up something was deadly wrong. There was handwriting on it as he opened and saw nonsense pages.

Kira was ready to explode as he threw the file against the wall and overturned the desk; he walked out of the room as he saw the two soldiers.

"Sir," one said.

Kira went nuts on the person as he grabbed the soldier and struck it repeatedly, grabbing the other one he threw that one to the far side of the wall one handed. Kira kicked them both as they were down as he struck the wall hard.

That scanner worked perfectly and now they lost their surprise to what was most likely a small glitch or something, how ironic.

Kira made his way back to Ryu's office as he downed the pills left and right.

Ryu's Office

"Let me guess, they are gone?" Ryu asked.

"Yes sir," Kira replied.

"Clever how they made sure I intercepted that frequency," Ryu said shaking his head.

"They have the plans but they will not be able to stop it," Kira told him.

Ryu looked at him, "We are left with no choice commander."

"What are your orders sir?" Kira asked.

"We must execute this operation immediately and take all the necessary risks, but first there is one thing we must handle first," Ryu told him.

Kira knew immediately, "I understand sir; we will strike and strike hard."

To be continued...

(A\N): The next chapter contains what Kira and Ryu will do, as Ryu then prepares for the final order. Bye for now.
