Shinn- My future to protect
His life was a happy one.
He had a cheerful sister, a caring mother, a capable father.
They stayed in a peaceful island called Orb.
It seemed perfect, as it was the only place where they were free from the war, where Coordinators and Naturals lived in peace. He could have picnics with his family without worrying about the facts that a war would suddenly break out over their heads.
Orb was a safe haven for so many of them, and for the Coordinators to escape from the impending war.
To them, Orb was home.
It was a haven for so many of them.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You think Orb is a safe haven?
You think its paradise?
Peace will never be eternal, fool.
This is your wishful thinking, your own mere thoughts.
You think yourself the luckiest in this world?
Just you wait…
For every bit of pain you show,
I will strip your happiness…bit by bit…
Till you are nothing but an empty soul.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They ran. They kept running.
Away form the war that had now pulled Orb into it.
They had hoped that the war would never come to Orb.
But Orb still had been dragged into it.
They kept running…and running…
"My handphone!"
He told them to go ahead; he went back and had just picked up his sister's handphone when…
Boom!
He had been swept off his feet; he felt the heat burning on his back.
He felt himself colliding with the hard ground, and the darkness claimed him.
He woke up. Saw the broken bodies of his happy family.
Their bloodied, broken bodies.
He wanted this to a dream. A very bad dream.
But it was a fact.
They were gone. He saw a man trying to help him, turning him from the sight of his dead family.
The pain that tore into his soul was simply unbearable.
He let out an anguished scream that was and would never ever be heard.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The scar was still fresh.
But he had learned to move on, and he had, with the help of that man, had enlisted into ZAFT and made good friends. Vino, Rey, Lunamaria and Youlan.
He even had the honor of wearing the red uniform of ZAFT, showing that he was an elite.
He piloted the Impulse, which proved its worth when Armory One was raided and he managed to successfully damage the three stolen mobile suits.
He then saw Cagalli Yula Attha, whom he felt was responsible for his family's death.
He would never miss an opportunity to lash out at her, claiming that sugarcoating was indeed a family art of the Atthas.
Impulse seemed to suit him well.
It represented everything out him. Impulsive, brash, headstrong and stubborn.
But in Impulse, he saw Junius Seven nearly dropped on Earth.
In Impulse, he shot down the GINNS responsible for the dropping of Junius Seven.
In Impulse, he told her that he would be the first to burn Orb in the fires of destruction.
In Impulse, he went SEED for the first time.
In Impulse, he disobeyed his superior and got hit.
In Impulse, he watched Heine die.
In Impulse, he watched as Abyss and the Saviour was destroyed.
In Impulse, he cut down Gaia only to reveal the pilot was Stellar.
In Impulse, he watched as Freedom brought down the Destroy with Stellar in it.
In Impulse, he cut down the Freedom.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shinn's POV
You took Stellar from me.
You took her away.
I told you to stop!
But did you listen?
Why did you kill Stellar!
I promised to protect her! I promised!
Why did you take her away?
Freedom…
I swear I will take you down myself!
You took Stellar from me.
Now I take you away from your loved ones.
For revenge…for Stellar…
I will destroy you myself…
For Stellar…
Stellar…gomen…I failed to keep my promise…but, I will take down Freedom…
As you lie in the safety of the sea.
No one can hurt you anymore…so…rest in peace…Stellar…
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now came Destiny.
With its brilliant plumage of butterfly like wings.
Destiny. How it suited him.
His destiny that he would form by himself.
In Destiny, he shot down the GOUF with Athrun and Meyrin inside.
In Destiny, he brought down the Destroy with Sting in it.
In Destiny, he sliced the Akatsuki's arm off.
In Destiny, he engaged in another battle with Freedom once more.
In Destiny, he found himself facing Athrun Zala once more.
In Destiny, he lost control of his anger and nearly killed Lunamaria.
In Destiny, he got himself shot down by Justice.
What was he thinking while he piloted Destiny?
Was it to protect his future?
Was it to protect the ones he loved?
Then he realized his answer at last.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Months later, he stood with Meyrin, Lunamaria and Athrun as they paid their respects to the dead.
There, he met the pilot of the Freedom, Kira Yamato.
There, he finally realized what he was fighting for.
He felt the relief and understanding wash through him.
For the first time in his life,
Shinn Asuka had never felt more home.
