Chapter Eighty Three

Shocking Discovery Part One

Doomsday

Ryu arrived with his shuttle as he was greeted with the response Kira always made this ship do.

They were unaware of the events as they were in standby waiting for Jibril. Moving the ship now would give away the element of surprise so they couldn't go after Kira now or risk Jibril catching on and losing what would be an easy operation.

Ryu got off as he filled in Willard about the events going on. Willard was in complete shock, never did they ever think that the commander would ever fall.

"Shall we mount a rescue sir?" Willard asked.

"We will not, the commander can handle himself, for now you just focus on the orders I have given," Ryu ordered.

"Yes, yes sir," Willard reported.

They were on their way to the bridge as they were expecting a transport soon.

"When the transport arrives I want the machine rebuilt and ready for the commander's return, if he is not back by the time Jibril arrives then we will have the Destiny handle the job," Ryu reported.

"Yes sir, I will make the appropriate accommodations," Willard said as they entered the bridge.

Nothing more was said as Ryu started up the terminal, he was looking over satellite images for Jibril's transport ship, as slow as can be but with Jibril when it came to himself he was always cautious.

Sarah was doing her duty as well, something was very wrong here. The commander wasn't back and she could see that the captain didn't look to good.

Her emotions were conflicted here, sure she was at that point of being completely sick of Kira but then again he was still the father of her children. Yet if he was gone she might be far better off, but she knew with the first ultimate as her son that chairman would never leave her alone, if anything Kira would be far easier to deal with them him on those matters as Kira didn't pay any attention to the kids at all, she knew this chairman would want to make her son a complete copy of Kira so he could have the future serve him as Kira did.

One Week Later

Onogoro Headquarters

The higher officers of Orb did have meetings all week. Mu however was adjusting to life back however he was really anxious of those tests to come back. Something wasn't right with all of this and after hearing about Ryu he was pretty sure what it could be but first he wanted to know the reports.

Cagalli and Athrun kept constant monitors on Kira, throughout the week Cagalli hadn't seen him at all and Athrun only went a few more times, just like always the answers were the same he wasn't talking. However what they noticed he was getting more and more aggressive with wanting those pills. They had to keep upping the dosages of the sedatives to keep him restrained but it was becoming more and more difficult as his body was adapting quicker with his strength returning.

They knew their research teams were working extremely hard but this was something none had ever seen before and without live tests they had to work other methods which were making the delays in answers.

Lacus however couldn't get what she spoke to him about out of her mind as she went back every single day and more and more signs of the same thing were occurring, she hadn't seen what she did that day but their was something seriously wrong with a certain situation.

Research Labs

Doctors and scientists were working around the clock for answers; this was a high executive order so they wanted to get it done.

They were comparing data they got from the pills, to the data on Kira's body, along with his symptoms.

One thing they had so far was these pills affect parts of the brain in ways they had never seen before. It was still going to be a little time but they had a feeling very soon they would have an answer.

Kira's Room

Security was stepped up around his room with his aggressive behavior increasing.

Kira was sitting there holding his head, it was killing him and things Lacus said to him were only making it worse. Whenever he could sleep he saw things that didn't register to him, they were vast nightmares that brought up all those memories but some were also of things he didn't remember either.

Every time he awoke he would search for his pills but every time he didn't find them the pain wouldn't go away and that was how he was now.

His breathing was heavy as he only stared straight ahead. On his fists you could see the bloody marks where he would punch the wall trying to at least distract the pain from his mind to another part of the body. That worked for awhile but now his head pain was getting far worse.

This had never happened before but then again he had never been cut off from his pills this long before either.

This was how they kept him as they would not give them over.

Outside the Room

Four people showed up as the doctor was going to brief them on his situation.

"How is he?" Lacus asked.

Mu was in the background as he kept using his own abilities, that was why he was so intrigued he knew things they didn't however he didn't want to say anything until they got those tests back.

"He is getting worse, I do not understand, his headaches and nightmares are vastly increasing, how was he from what you can remember?" the doctor asked.

"After the first war he was really bad however he did seem to get a little better over time, they did decrease but now…" Lacus reported.

"That does concern me, there is no reason why they should be this bad now," the doctor replied.

"You think they made him worse somehow?" Athrun asked.

"I cannot say yet, however he is getting far more aggressive as time goes on, that could be to the withdrawal, but those symptoms should have been out by now, it will take more time to flush the drugs from his system but I expected some improvement by now," the doctor replied.

The doctor gave a quick glance to Lacus as they had a conversation a little while ago; Lacus trusted this doctor with some information as she didn't want it known to others until it was confirmed. Lacus took that as a sign as maybe that could give her a few answers.

"Is that all you have for us now?" Cagalli asked.

"We have him monitored twenty four seven so we have been taking his reading as well as working around the clock for our analysis, we need more time Lady Cagalli," The doctor told her.

"I just need to know if you're on to something, I don't care what but anything that can explain something about him?" Cagalli asked.

"I will confirm that Lady Cagalli, however I will not make anything known until I have everything back," the doctor replied.

Cagalli sighed, "How much more time?"

"It could be another week or it could be anytime now," the doctor replied.

"Another week! You expect them to keep him like that for another week?" Cagalli asked angrily.

"It is all we can do, so far all his aggressive behavior is for his pills other then that I have no clue why he isn't responding more yet," the doctor replied.

"Keep us informed," Athrun said as he had to get her out of there.

Mu however decided to speak up, "If I have any thoughts on that chairman he won't let his prize remain here for to long."

"You expect them to come back for him?" Cagalli asked.

"Without a doubt, if anything they want Jibril gone now which is why they haven't done it already, when that is done they will be back for him," Mu replied as that would be common sense if he understood that chairman's thinking the way he thought he did.

"Taking out Jibril would be doing us a favor…however the timing might be a little too soon," Mu told them.

"What do you suggest?" Cagalli asked as they didn't need Jibril around anymore.

"For now nothing, however when they arrive to close I propose we alert Jibril," Mu replied.

"Alert him!" Athrun and Cagalli both said in unison.

"Correct, if they come to close the Doomsday warship will give chase and that would by us extra time…plus I know Jibril's strategies, we could probably by another week if I can get through to him in a coded message of a security alert, he would likely dock somewhere and go about business like the civilian liner would do, then when the cost was clear he would resume, if anything it would take that warship way out of the way if they pursued if not they would just wait the extra week out, all in all it's a win win situation for us," Mu replied.

"Can you pull it off?" Athrun asked.

Mu smiled, "I know Jibril's alert frequencies if I mask it like its coming from his cronies then he will by it."

"Get started," Cagalli replied as it was time to by a little time.

Mu came up with a story as this should ground Jibril for awhile.

With Lacus and that Doctor

While those three were in a debt conversation about the situation Lacus found time to speak to that doctor.

"Is anything I told you coming to light in your scans?" Lacus asked.

"I don't feel comfortable about doing this in the dark of the others, but like with everything else I have to wait for the results to come back as well as a few more tests," the doctor replied.

"Keep me informed, it is happening all to more," Lacus replied.

"What you told me might answer a few things which I am glad you came forward on this, but I cannot make any promises," the doctor replied.

"Just find out the truth, that is all I want," Lacus replied.

The doctor nodded as he went back to work.

Lacus walked over as they were in their conversation about to stall the Doomsdays progress a little, Lacus liked the idea as it would by the researchers more time, however she didn't stay as she headed straight for Kira's room.

Medical Wing

Kira's Room

The guards were used to her daily visits as they opened the doors with weapons drawn again as Lacus moved inside.

Once inside she saw the site of him just sitting there again, one hand on his head and the other was squeezing his fist tightly. Sweat and anguish was on his face as like the doctors had said he was getting worse.

Lacus also noticed he didn't even seem to notice that she entered; even his abilities seem to have been weakened.

"Kira…" Lacus finally called out.

Kira didn't look at her as he kept the same position.

Lacus also noticed he didn't tear out any of the medical equipment this time as well, but these self inflicting injuries in attempt to take his mind off his headaches to somewhere else was getting far worse.

"Have you finally brought my pills?" Kira finally called out again.

Lacus backed up a step, "No Kira, never again."

"Then leave me alone!" Kira yelled as he slammed the wall again.

Lacus saw the first look at his eyes as they were erratic, no longer dark but no where near what she remembered either.

"Tell me why Kira? Why do you need them?" Lacus asked as she returned to her normal position.

"Don't you get it? You are not stupid Lacus," Kira told her.

Lacus stared at him, "What…"

"Do you have my pills? I am tired of waiting," Kira replied.

"Kira," Lacus asked confused as it happened again.

"You stupid people just don't understand, especially you," Kira told her as she saw the darkness return.

Lacus stared for a second, "Tell me about the pills Kira, you can tell me," Lacus replied.

"They keep my sanity! They and only they make it stop…give me them now!" Kira that time shouted.

Lacus was taking mental notes the whole time about his behavior and what was said. Lacus decided to ask that question she did last week again.

After asking it she got no response.

Lacus asked again.

Kira slammed his fist again, "I don't know what you are talking about, you are beginning to bore me!" Kira said as he moved to stand up.

Guns were pointed again.

Lacus however held them back.

"You want to kill me don't you?" Lacus asked.

Kira gripped his head, "You will die."

Lacus kept holding those guards back.

Lacus noticed his behavior as he fell back down, "You have that strength left in you, why don't you just do it?"

Kira gripped his head again, "Just give me my pills!" Kira yelled again as the guards took the quick way out and shot him again with this sedative darts.

Lacus was ready to kill them, she wanted to do this for a reason and these fools just ruined what she wanted to do.

Kira was once again weakened but he was fighting it she could tell he was adapting quickly.

"I am sorry ma'am, but we cannot permit anymore visits like these, if he becomes immune to these we are all in danger," the soldier in charge said.

Lacus slowly nodded, "I understand, I am sorry but you acted to quickly," Lacus replied before leaving.

The guards went back to their posts as Kira fought that sedative with everything he had but he still fell short however he kept lasting longer and longer and this time the soldiers were right as they had to limit visits at least until they knew something more.

Lacus left as she noted everything in her head, she would honor their wishes and stay away for now but she now understood everything was riding on what they reported back to them as Lacus had her theories, she might be getting ahead of herself but she really wanted to know what they would find.

Doomsday

Bridge

Days later the transport had arrived.

"Sir, it is here," Willard reported.

Ryu looked up, "Bring them in and prepare to have the machines returned to their decks and fully repaired."

"Yes sir," Willard said as they had preparations for this.

"Send the pilot to the briefing room where I will give him orders," Ryu said as he closed up a certain folder while taking it with him.

Armageddon Hanger

The Armageddon was placed in its spot as the mechanics immediately went to work on it. They knew this was going to take time but Ryu said by the time the commander returns they want it done.

Destiny's Hanger

Shinn got off with his machine as they had to make repairs to the Destiny as well, however the chief mechanic in charge here told him to report to the briefing room per the chairman's orders.

Shinn only smiled as that was what he wanted to hear.

Briefing Room

Ryu was already there as Shinn arrived.

Shinn saluted as Ryu told him to have a seat as he did.

Ryu sat as he looked straight at him, "As you are aware the commander is out of action and we have a major operation coming up here," Ryu said.

Shinn slightly smiled, "I understand that sir."

Ryu stared at him, "Unless the commander gets back I will put you in charge of handling Jibril's destruction."

Shinn now smiled as on the inside he was jumping eight feet in the air, "Consider it done sir, I will bury that fool to debts of the ocean."

Ryu stood up, as he walked towards him, "I will consider the matter closed as you said, just one thing, I do not like failure," Ryu replied deadly as he walked out of the room.

Shinn felt a shiver down his spine at those remarks, however he was too hyped up as now he consider himself number one. He didn't expect at all to worry as he knew his skill and knew it would work his high overconfidence.

Shinn stood up as he could already see it that he would have his place on the private floor, he would get the big chair and he would be giving out orders.

Shinn played out his fantasies in his head as Ryu was on a whole different thing; Shinn was the pawn and at the moment he needed the pawn, but if worse came to worse Ryu would finish the job himself as it had been far too long since he had been inside a suit.

Two weeks since Ryu arrived at the Doomsday

Onogoro Headquarters

Another week passed as Jibril was growing far closer as it was time for Mu to do what they had worked up.

Kira's condition was now at its worse ever been, and doctors were still stunned he still has that stuff in his system. They had tests back and did new tests throughout the week and were combining them together as they double and triple checked everything they…

Around the Headquarters

The military power was repaired as they were back running drills and other simulations while Todaka and his naval fleet were focused around Orb.

Yzak and Shiho were still on loose ground as Yzak felt highly betrayed by her, Shiho hadn't even once checked up on Kira's condition as they only had one of those non feelings attached deals, both used each other it was the end of the story, not that it was any of his business anyway in her mind.

Luna had been helping on the Minerva with her sister and crew. Talia and Arthur had the warship ready for combat action again but this time as apart of Orb.

Mu and Murrue had more time with each other getting things back but they were looking forward to the after war thing.

Mu was also silent about Kira as he wanted the results but he did work up something to ground Jibril and by them some extra time.

The extended were confused about hearing about Mu or as they knew him Neo however Auel was just always Auel and Stellar didn't let it stop her as she stayed around him as much as possible.

Mu was also digging around his contacts in the alliance as they had a few things reported.

Mu got what he needed as he was ready to make contact with Jibril.

Jibril's Civilian Transport

Jibril knew this was taking time but they had to make this look real.

However the alert they were about to get wasn't one they wanted to hear.

"Sir, we have a message coming through on your alert channel," the captain told him.

Jibril quickly turned his head as he took it.

"There is a level five alert sir, Zaft subs are making scouting reports around your area," the voice said.

"Identify yourself?" Jibril asked.

The person gave the correct signal and everything to say.

Jibril knew that code passed, "How is that possible?"

"There are reports sir, they are scouting the top of Eurasia, if you stay on course you will be intercepted," the voice reported as the scans were sent.

Jibril received them, "Now of all times," Jibril replied turning to his captain.

"We can slow our heading or we can dock at an outpost base up north for awhile sir," the captain replied.

They were already in the Arctic going the long way at civilian speed and they now had to lay low.

Jibril thought about this, "Keep course for now, slow speed until I figure out what to do," Jibril replied as he wasn't ready to just jump on that yet.

The captain did as he was told as Jibril had something in mind here.

Onogoro Headquarters

Command Center

Mu finished as that little talk with his contacts helped as he knew the code but got help from his people on who would be on that station today.

Kisaka got involved as they used the com equipment to change his voice around to not sound like Mu.

"You think they bought it?" Andrew asked.

"He still has talents," Murrue replied.

"Very funny," Mu replied, "We will know in time, if not our time will be cut dead short."

Cagalli and Athrun had arrived late, "How did it go?"

"As well as it could, now it's all up to fate," Mu replied as it seemed a little to easy to be true but you never know.

They were about to speak when they got an urgent report as all wanted to hear this.

Communications Room

Lacus just finished speaking to her children as they missed her and wanted to come home. Lacus didn't want to bring them home yet as this situation was not stable as well as a Zaft attack was more likely now since they had Kira.

Lacus sat back down as she had been doing a little research of her own however she finally got the call she wanted.

"Miss Lacus," the doctor said.

"Yes," Lacus said answering the com.

"It is time…we have our report and we have your answers," the doctor replied.

Lacus stopped for a second.

The doctor went on, "Lady Cagalli and the rest are on the way, I suggest you come as well."

"I am on my way," Lacus said as this was what she wanted and waited for, all this time but this wasn't a normal situation and with this time it gave them what they needed.

Kira's Room

Kira sat there like always clutching his head. When he did sleep it wasn't more then ten to fifteen minutes at a time before another nightmare or a massive headache. Other then that he wasn't any better he was worse, however with there were still traces of those pills in his system as well.

The pain he inflicted on himself was much harder, anything to get at least a short relief from the pain the headaches caused him. His aggressive nature was stronger then ever as his strength didn't go down which was really throwing them off, however they had the situation.

Medical Wing

Lacus was the last to arrive as she saw the crowd. Mu was in the back as he was waiting for this as well.

They were moved into a room where a projection was set up and all assigned were standing in the front.

Lacus took her seat in the front.

"We have called you here for one reason and one reason only, we have your answers," the lead doctor told them seriously.

To be continued...

(A\N): The next chapter they get their answers, as well as other things. Bye for now.
