Chapter Seventy Nine

Dark Reality

Near the Archangel

Kira took one last look at their faces as he reached out the Armageddon's hand and instantly crushed the bridge.

He squeezed it straight off.

All inside were immediately crushed, "Squishy," was all Kira replied at first as he opened and closed the hand and kept doing it over and over as parts all over fell from the hand.

"It's so very…refreshing," Kira said as he placed his head back.

Kira then looked back down as he moved all the dragoons around as well as the plasma and rail cannons as he fired one more shot straight through the ship.

He could hear everything the screams the pain and the anguish of his former allies.

With Kira

Kira immediately shot up again as he quickly grabbed his chest. Sweet poured down from his face as he quickly looked around breathing heavily.

Kira looked around as he saw her next to him. Lacus stirred as she awoke to once again his nightmares.

She knew the way of calming him down as she wrapped her arms around him and leaned her head on his shoulder.

"Was it another nightmare?" Lacus asked.

Kira looked around as he saw his calendar in his one room Orb apartment, it was none other then C.E. 0072. Kira wiped his head as that was the most horrible dream he had ever had.

Kira knew this day it was the day Lacus had to go back up to Plants for her job with Eileen Canaver, she spent three days with him.

"That was…horrible," Kira replied to her.

Lacus looked up at him; he never did talk about them to her.

"Do…do you want to talk about it?" Lacus asked as he never really did to anyone.

Kira was recalling his dream…for some strange reason this was where it started.

Kira looked over into her eyes as he could see her pleading with him to let her help.

Kira for once since the first war had told her the dream.

Lacus listened as she could see why it upset him; he dreamt he was a maniac that was bent on destroying and changing the world.

"It…it felt so real," Kira replied.

"Dreams are that way Kira, sometimes they feel real and in your case sometimes they make no sense…I know you would never do anything like that," Lacus replied as she returned her head to his shoulder.

"…I haven't really been honest with you Lacus…I haven't really gotten over the war a year ago," Kira replied in shame.

Lacus looked up at him, "You didn't have to hide it from me Kira, I know what it did to you and I will always be here for you."

"I know that," Kira said with a quick smile.

Lacus' eyes brightened a little as that was the first time he truly smiled at her in over a year. One year since the first war and all he really knew was pain but this time he was like she remembered it.

"I could cancel my trip," Lacus said as she had to return to the Plants.

Kira shook her head, "No, you and Cagalli have been working to hard, I am fine now."

Lacus gently kissed him as she turned around, "Shall I order the soldiers to keep an eye on you?" Lacus asked jokingly.

Kira slightly smiled as he got up as she almost had to leave.

Lacus was getting ready as it didn't take him to long, he was going to take her to the space port as he always did.

Kira once again remembered that dream, which was the worst feeling he ever had, why something like that he had no clue.

Once Lacus was ready they left.

Orb-Space Port

Upon arriving Lacus could still tell that something was bothering Kira.

"You're still thinking of that dream?" Lacus asked as she was about to board.

Kira was getting a terrible feeling of having seen this already.

"That was just the weirdest one since they started, and for once I wasn't the one suffering, I was making others suffer," Kira replied, "Enough of that for now," Kira said smiling at Lacus.

Lacus walked forward as she kissed him passionately as once again he was getting that feeling again.

"I will see you when I return," Lacus said as she turned around to walk away.

Kira however reached out and grabbed her arm.

Lacus turned around as she was worried at how freaked out he was.

"What is it Kira?" Lacus asked.

"Lacus…do you mind…if I go with you," Kira asked her gently.

Lacus stared at him for a second in shock, she had always tried to get him to go and he always refused but now he wanted to.

She saw the look in his eyes as maybe this was the dream but she saw more then that.

Lacus quickly smiled as she agreed, she kissed him again as they boarded the flight.

Kira and Lacus sat next to each other as they smiled genuinely as the shuttle took off.

Kira for the first time in a long time once he boarded that shuttle he felt free, as if for some reason his burden was now over. That was strange.

Looking over at Lacus he knew this was where he was supposed to be and nothing was going to take that away.

Orb-Riverfront

A lone blonde figure was standing straight near the large oak tree as his intelligence stated after taking Clyne back he would run into him here.

This blonde familiar looking man kept watch but nothing, his target Kira Yamato was not arriving.

After it turned up nothing, the man checked in with a satellite phone up to the Plants.

"Do you have him?" Durandal asked.

"No sir, he didn't show up," Ryu replied.

"I have wasted enough time on this matter, you convinced me he was needed to fulfill my goal and I am pulling the operation," Durandal said.

"We cannot do this without his help, give me more time," Ryu told him.

"I have given you enough, we will go ahead without him, that is an order," Durandal said as he hung up.

With no choice he had to obey orders and return to Plants.

In doing so he was not able to produce the weapons he desired or the ultimate coordinator, he wasn't able to get the support as he couldn't produce the weapons and he fell out of Durandals good graces as well as loyalists he was gathering on the side as he was deemed a failure to Durandal and a fraud to his almost support. The former commander was reassigned back to the mobile suit squad for the remainder of his days. With no way to gather up power he was never given the chance with not meeting Kira that day.

Durandal scrapped Ryu's project and would eventually try his own. What happened to Ryu it was like what happened, he fell out of sight and was eventually assigned to the border patrol ships where an accident took his life.

The last clone was destroyed and with it his dream.

Missing that one little event prevented total misery for the world.

Future

With Kira and Lacus

Kira did return to Lacus to the Plants and time and time again after that. Avoiding that one incident was like Kira was set free; he did improve over time and was almost returned to normal.

A month after their first trip however Lacus received some surprising news that she was expecting. When Kira heard he immediately recalled that dream in which it turns out there were three children. Something told him more and more that dream wasn't a dream after all…and if that was right only one thing could have alerted him to that it was his abilities. That was a long shot that things would have happened that way if he had returned home that day but that was something he would never know and was be glad not to have known.

With the rest of the World

Cagalli and Athrun well they had their moments and their fights, over and over again. A few years later they did eventually marry and had one child.

Murrue remained captain in the Orb forces as she still believed Mu was dead, however on a good will mission one day she met a lone alliance commander called Neo Lorronoke which she stayed near for awhile, which Kira never did see as they started falling out of touch with each other and that was luckily a good thing or he would have really freaked out. Miriallia stayed with Orb as well as she recovered from Tolles death and was moving on.

Andrew and Dacosta stayed as Lacus personal escort until she retired that same year before the birth of her children.

What happened with the Orb and Plants and Earth? Through the efforts of Kira, Lacus, Athrun, and Cagalli war didn't happen. Durandal agreed as did the alliance president and at least for a long while they would have peace.

Joint efforts were made and they slammed shut operations done by blue cosmos and Jibril. That took guts on the part of the alliance to oppose him but they did and now they were glad for it.

Ultimate Coordinators were never again mentioned, Kira was the first and last.

With Kira and Lacus

Kira and Lacus eventually married after having their children. They bought a place off the coast of Orb large enough for their big family. Lacus retired as ambassador immediately a few months before she had them but her and Kira did still work with Athrun and Cagalli to maintain the peace they had now.

Kira was finally able to recover but it was the dream that did it. Kira still thinks of that from time to time. Some things are better left unknown was all he would say about if he would have not gone with Lacus that day as the children's genders were the same as the dream however a good thing was the third one didn't die, it was a close call from problems but she did pull through. The reason for that was simple as Kira was there to help her and she didn't strain herself emotionally as well as physically so she was able to have three healthy children.

With all the children playing at the beach Lacus joined him as she stopped next to him as he held her and she him.

"What are you thinking about?" Lacus asked.

"Just how things turn out, all those years ago I couldn't image being happy again," Kira replied.

Lacus smiled, "Deep down neither could I but now…" Lacus said holding him tighter.

"Now the past doesn't matter as now we have our family and now we live for our future," Kira replied.

Lacus smiled as they quickly kissed again looking at the children playing as the sun was setting in the horizon.

Kira then genuinely smiled.

Path one complete...To be continued...

(A\N): With this chapter the Dark path of this story has come to an end. Remember the dark path has a sequel but this chapter was to just to make an end if you don't want anymore dark Kira. Now if you remember back in chapter forty five I told you to remember that chapter as that chapter is the cut off chapter that split's the story into two paths, the dark path which is now complete and the original path which I will be doing starting with the next chapter. The next chapter will be chapter eighty but it will really be chapter forty six of the second path. I will get that path started very soon. Bye for now.
