Disclaimer: I Do NOT Own Gundam SEED (Destiny)

I am sorry if it took me awhile to get the forst chapter to come. I was trying my hardest, but I think I still suck at wrinting. Maybe that's why I suck in English last year, but I am getting better this year. I think.

I hope you like it.

I want to say that in this chapter, NOT all the OCs are in it, but don't worry they will and they are of the same importance as the other OCs, but the reason I did not put them in it was that I have to give them a good entrance.

Also the OCs in this chapter seem to only have some lines, but don't worry about that, too. I will get them better lines in the future.

PLZ DON"T BE MAD! (I am still in high school...I'm getting there.)

Phrase 1: The Beginning Of The End

"Do you think it's wise to put the baby under my surname? He IS your child, even if many refused; your son is the only one that matters." A woman's voice said.

Her face was blocked by the shadow, not showing anything but her mouth. She was sitting across another woman whose face was also cover by the shadow, but she was holding a child in her arms. A blonde haired baby boy that was sleeping in the woman's arms, peacefully.

"I know, but I don't want his father to know about him. At least not yet, I need you to do this for me." The second woman said. "The child will know me as his mother, but he will call you his mother in public. Please do this for me. I cannot raise him because he is different from I. People will understand that he is your child."

The first woman looked at the child and smiled. "It must be a hard decision for you to make. I will accept. I will just say he looks like his father that died in the first war. You're very brave, but why entrusted me with your son?"

"You are my best friend. I trust you with my life. I know you will not tell anyone including the father of this child."

"Even your brother?"

"Yes, he too shall not know."

"I understand."

Two years had passed since the end of the second war. Everyone had moved on and put the war as memories inside their head. Lacus became the advisor between Plants and Orb with Kira at her side; Shinn and Lunamaria broke it off when they knew it wouldn't work between them. Milly worked as a photographer, but she worked part time for Morgenroete on the Archangel from time to time. Dearka and Yzak still was invloved with Zaft, but they go to Orb for meetings and other things. Neo or he liked to be called Mwu ever since he recovered all his lost memories, had became commander with his wife, Murrue as his superior for Orb. Athrun became and important figure to Plants because of his past involvement invthe alst two pervious wars. Everyone moved on with their life well mostly everyone. They still moan for their lost friends and people who they don't know. They were so busy that no one has tried to connect like they used to. Cagalli became stronger overvthe year and became more invloved in Orb and she succeed in making Orb powerful and full of opportunties using her and Lord Uzumi's ideals.

Plants, Orb, and EA began balancing doing check off on each other as much as possible. They didn't know that their peace was soon going to end.

"Why are we here in Orb?" Shinn asked grumpily. "I still don't like this place. It reeks of Athha's."

"Shinn, you better watch your mouth. We are in Orb. Like it or not, you will kill that mouth of your shut. Got that?" Lunamaria stated. "We are here on behalf of Zaft."

"Shinn, Luna rights. Even if you don't want to admit it." Meyrin said. Orb has become stronger over the years it experiences."

"Yeah, I know. Stupid sisters."

"What did you call us?!"

"Nothing!"

"You guys have to stop. You are attracting unwanted attention for us." Jen stated. There were already people stopped working and was looking at them, curiously. "We aren't in ZAFT now. We don't want to attract trouble."

"Jen's right. We are only here for Plants just like tourists. You guys gotta start playing attention to surroundings." Mina stated. "If you wanna have a love quarrel, then that's fine with me. We could always say we don't know each other and let you lovebirds argue."

"We are not lovebirds." Shinn protested. "I can't stand her. That's why we broke it off. Got that?!"

"Shinn buddy, don't need to shout. You know Mina was joking, right Mina?" Alwyn asked. Mina nodded. "Beside it's too late. People already know you are crazy."

Shinn growled before ignoring everyone which got the group to laugh at him. They started their way to ORB headquarters where they would meet their host/hostress who was going to give them a tour. It was part of the treaty that twice a year each side gives the other side permission to be show around. Shinn was in the lead, still having a grumpy face with Lunamaria and Meyrin giggling to each other while Belle, Mina, and Alwyn happily talking to each other. They had another person with them, but Mei chooses to walk alone, studying her surroundings.

"Hey, Mei what were you looking at?" Belle asked, slowing down so shevwas walking side by side with Mei. She was smiling at Mei who looked at Belle, confusing. "You shouldn't be by yourself."

"...I want to be alone."

"Yeah, but..."

"Just leave the loner alone, Belle." Mina said. "She wants to be by herself then let her be."

"Okay." Belle walked toward Alwyn and Mina, leaving Mei to look at her back before she was looking ahead of them to a male and female standing in front of a door, looking like they were waiting for awhile.

The female spoke. "Hello, I am Miriallia Haw and this is Sai Arglye. We will be your hosts for today. Let's begin."

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Do you think it was wise to let ZAFT be here?" A woman in a white coat asked another figure wearing the representative maroon and white uniform, leaning against a big chair while the first woman was standing in front of the desk. "You can't trust everyone, Cagalli."

"I know Namine, but this is part of the treaty. ORB has to follow it through. There is no way out of it."

"I understand." Namine paused. "I heard Athrun Zala was on the same ship, but Lacus Clyne and Kira Yamato are still in Plants."

"I know, but I can't do anything. If I was given a choice I would never let them coming here. I wouldn't let him come here. Come on, let's welcome the ZAFT soldiers."

"Chief Representative, I have a bad feeling for some reason I can't place, but we don't want to be too friendly to them. It would make us look like we are favoring one side over the other."

"Yes, besides I am not friendly with any of them so that shouldn't be a problem."

Cagalli got out of her chair and headed out the door with Namine behind her. Cagalli looked depressed for a second, but that didn't get unnoticed by Namine.

"I hope you're right, Chief Representative."

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Nearby inside the Morgenroete, three figures were running silently toward a giant metal door and were stading on the right side of the door arming them.

"You know what we do. Get the suits and get out as fast as we can." Yuki explained. "If not possible and there are some problem, shot them. Orders from above."

"Don't need to repeat it. I heard it many times from the big guy." Tarim said. "I don't need to hear it again from Mr. I-Need-Anger-Mangement-Class."

"Don't push it, Tarim. He put me in charge here. You have to listen to what I order you to do. Understand?!"

"Don't need to yell! You are going to attract trouble for us, girly."

"I think you two should stop fighting. Cronus wouldn't like it if friends were fighting." the third figure, Odysseus said. "Cronus said we have to work together."

Tarim and Yuki muttered. "Fine."

They armed themselves with guns and broke the lock to the doors. The doors open slowly, revealing people in uniforms, looking at the people that arrived, shocked.

"Are you three supposed to be..." the man that asked them didn't get to finished and hit the ground.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Milly and Sai took them to a large room that had many servers with people at every station. Everyone was concentrating in their work they didn't plan attention to the people who just came in. The ZAFT group was looking around the place and was listening to Milly and Sai explaining the things that were going on.

"So any questions?" Sai asked. "I'll be happy to answer any."

Belle spoke. "Are you seeing anyone?"

Sai blushed and the others were laughing at the poor guy. "Well, I'm afraid not."

"That's good to hear."

"Aw, Belle has a little crush. Isn't that sweet?" Alwyn mocked.

"I think it's adorable." Mina joined. "Don't you think, Jen darling?"

"I agree. Belle never took a liking not even to Mr. Flirty over there." Jen pointed toward Alwyn.

Sai's face redder everytime the group said something. He let out a breathe when a voice interuppted them.

"Welcome to ORB. I am Chief Representative Cagalli Yula Athha. Some of you may already know me. It is a honor to meet all of you."

Milly and Sai saluted to Cagalli and she returned it with a small nod, turning her attention back to the group. They were distracted, watching Shinn's reaction. Meyrin and Lunamaria knew about Shinn's hatred with the Athha family and everyone else knew about it from the Hawke sisters. Shinn seem to look calm but they noticed he was clutching his hands tightly; they looked at each other before showing Cagalli she had their attention. Cagalli seem to pay no attention to Shinn but rather was scanning the group before speaking.

"Is this it? I thought we would have more joining but no matter I think this would do. Come follow me. You will be meeting another representative under me and other pilots and then we can talk about ORB. Come."

They followed Cagalli to a door that was leading into a hallway. Everyone was walking silently and taking note on Cagalli's calm yet unusual behavior. They stopped at a door and she signal Sai to open the door that he punch in some code to a lock. The door open and a bright light hit them, but it soon adjusted to their eyes and they saw eight people standing in the room, most chatting among each other. They stopped talking and stood straight, saluting Cagalli which she responded with a nod. A woman step out of the crowd and nodded toward Cagalli before turning her attention toward the ZAFT soldiers, giving them a smile.

"Hello, my name is Representative Namine Harada. Pleasure to meet you all. Hope ORB is to your liking."

Shinn snorted only to be elbowed by Lunamaria.

"When did you become assigned to ORB?" Meyrin questioned. "I never saw you here before."

"I became representative after the war if that is what you're asking. I am from Plants, but choose to leave in ORB around the first war was present."

Meyrin acknowledged and Cagalli spoke. "If that is all then feel free to talk to the ORB pilots while waiting for the rest to join. There is another group coming, right?"

"The group nodded and soon later they were talking among each other, chatting away. Jen noticed two guys around his age; chatting and he decided to join in with them.

"Hi, I'm Jen Narin. What's your name?"

"I'm Hayato Lawarie and this is Taz Sparman." A blonde hair guy pointed toward a brown haired guy next to him who had a big smile. "Nice to meet you."

"The pleasure is mine. Hey, Mina, come here. I want you to meet some guys."

Mina smiled to Jen and started walking over to Jen, but stopped. She narrowed her eyes to Hayato and Taz. "No thanks. They are Naturals. I don't like Naturals. Bye."

"What was her problem with Naturals?" Hayato asked. "So what if we're Naturals. We aren't a disease or anything."

"Don't worry about her. She's really nice. I don't know what gotten into her."

Taz finally spoke. "She's pretty cute."

Jen and Hayato laughed. "Yeah, but she's a flirt."

"I could have figured that." Hayato stated before calling a blue haired guy. "Hey, buddy come here. Meet our new friend."

"Alright." For some reason, Jen stiff, feeling like he knew that voice somewhere before. The guy walked toward them, only to frozed and looked at Jen with wide eyes and Jen doing the same thing to the blue haired guy.

"Jen, meet Ryo. Ryo, meet Jen of ZAFT."

Ryo and Jen were too shocked to saw anything, but kept looking at each other with wide eyes. The two other males seem to notice the tension and let out a cough to get their attention.

"Do you guys know each other?" Taz asked.

Jen was about to answer, but was interruppted by when the doors opened to reveal Vino, Yolant, and Athrun coming in. They were the center of everyone's stares. Some were a slight surprise while others were curiousity, but Cagalli was blank showing no expression on her face. However, Yuzuki's eyes narrowed at the blunette coming in and she glared at him hard.

Athrun looked around the room, seeing Meyrin's red face, his friends' ginns, new people's question look, but he let his eyes upon Cagalli the longest. She hasn't changed from his view, but her hair grew longer and she looked as beautiful as she was when he last saw her two years ago. He smiled when she looked at him; their eyes held each other, only stop when Cagalli looked away. He frowned, but he noticed the person next to her; she was glaring at him with hatred in her eyes. He never seem someone with eyes like that than Shinn when he first encounter with Shinn in Plants. She whispered something to Cagalli that he couldn't hear and Cagalli nodded and whispered something back.

Namine sighed. "Welcome, you must be Vino Dupre, Yolant Kent, and..." Namine spoke Athrun's name with venom. "..Athrun Zala."

"Yes, we are, sorry we arrived late. We had some problems that needed to be work on." Athrun replied, but he could note the way Namine look at him was pure hatred.

"I see." Namine gave him another glare before turning her attention toward Cagalli and began chatting with her.

He was about to call Cagalli's name, but was stopped when Lunamaria, Meyrin, and Shinn came over to him and the others. He had no choice but to talk to them, but he glance at Cagalli one more time.

"Did you see the way Namine looked at you and how she said your name?" Shinn questioned. "She shows how she really hates you."

"I noticed that, too." Meyrin joined. "Did you do anything to her that cause like this, Athrun?"

"This is the first time I saw and spoken to her."

Lunamaria replied. "That's strange. It seem like she knows you somehow."

"I think she's cute." Vino said. "If only she didn't look so scary."

"Right, you are Vino." Yolant said. "And there seems to be more chicks in here."

"You two have problems with looking at girls. Stop that." Shinn ordered. "But Athrun, you have to be careful with her. She seems to not care about how the way she treated you. Better be careful."

"I know."

Cagalli was looking at Athrun and the others, and turned her attention to Namine, frowning. "You were so obvious, Namine. What the hell were you thinking? I know how you don't like him, but still you didn't have to overdue it."

"I can't help myself. To be honest, I hate his guts."

Cagalli looked at Namine surprised, but just let out a breath. This was going to be a long day.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

A bloody body dropped to the group, still cold with other bodies lying around it. Three figures stood among them and dropping their guns, before each jumping into a gundam of their own.

"That was easy," Yuki explained. "Remember to hack the gundams. We need to get these things out of here. Tarim, you done?"

"Almost." Tarim said while typing away on the keyboard of the gundam. "Done!"

"How about you, Odysseus? Odyseuss?!"

Odysseus was concenturing on the screen that he didn't hear nor reply. His hair and eyes turned into tmixes of purple and pink. Yuki kept on calling his name, but he still did not reply.

"Shut it, Yuki." Tarim ordered. "You know when he is his zone, he doesn't know what going's on around him. Just wait."

"Fine."

Then, Odysseus' hair and eyes turn into a mixture of yellow and he clapped his hands happily. "I did it! See that?!"

"Yeah, yeah whatever kid. Just hurry up. We don't have all day here."

"Shut up, Yuki. You know his intelligence is greater than your. Stop teasing the guy. He is around our age, ya know."

"Why don't you shut up for once, woman! Annoying girl! Let just go."

Yuki, Odysseus, and Tarim were getting ready for launching off, they triggered one of the alarms and it set off with red lights and a siren ringing everywhere. Yuki and Tarim curses while Odysseus' hair and eyes became the color of orange, showing how confused he was."

"What do we do now, Yuki?" Tarim asked.

"No choice. Blast our way out." Yuki said and pointed his Blitz Steath's gun at a wall. He shot the way, creating a big hole that was big enough for the gundams to get out. "Come on. Before they sent enforcements."

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The alarm rang wildly around the whole base and triggered all the other alarms including the one where Cagalli and the others were. Everyone in the room frozed when they alarm went off and the room was filled with sirens and red lights. Cagalli was the first to snapped out of the trance and started to bark orders to the ORB soldiers.

"All the pilots go to your suits and everyone else go to your posts. Now! That's an order! Namine, go find out what or who is causing this."

"Roger, Chief Representative." Everyone saluting before rushing out the door. Leaving only the ZAFT soldiers and the two representatives in the room.

Cagalli spoke in a clear tone. "I am sorry for the disturbation, but I have to ask if you return to your ship and be preparing for a quick launch. That is the best ORB can do." Cagalli was about to leave until Athrun called her name.

"Wait, Cagalli. We can help, after all ORB and Plants are allies now. We are here to assist you in any possible way."

Cagalli looked at the ground and back at Athrun, she was about to speak, but Namine cut in. "That won't be require, because I think that our intruders are from EA, by my opinion."

Everyone's eyes widen by the statement. They all have one thing in their mind. EA did this?

"I'm not completely sure, but I think that's a possible. Let's go, Chief Representative. We have to get you to safeground, am I right Mr...Dino?" Namine smirked at Athrun's reaction and hurry Cagalli out to the room, before he had time to say something. They were already out of the room and closed the door. Athrun stared at the door for a while before letting out a breath without knowing he was holding it.

He turned his attention toward the remaining people and gave them a small smile. "Come on, you heard Cag...Representative Athha and Harada. We have to go back to the ship."

"Athrun, are you alright?" Meyrin asked.

"I'm fine."

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Cagalli and Namine came into the headquarter, noticing that Kisaka was already there and was looking at the screens. The two girls looked at the screen and were surprised by the fact that ORB's gundams is fighting with each other. Cagalli was the one that was off guard while Kisaka and Namine just stay calm and was looking at the gundams' action.

"Blitz Steath, Hope, and...Soshi?" Caglli named them. "What is going on? How is it possible they could get their hands on it and knwo about them? These suits are supposed to be top secret, but ORB!"

"Chief Representative, calm down." Yuzuki spoke calmly. "A leader must not show any side of emotions that could be a dead give-away. You must be calm and think things through."

"I know, but how can I when three of our gundams are stolen right under our noses." Cagalli pointed. "Send in the enforcements. I want the gundams back and the pilots captive. We will not let the enemy side attack ORB nor will we attack them back."

"But, Chief Rep..." Yuzuki began.

"GO NOW!"

"Yes, madam." Yuzuki turned around, but she spotted Toan and Josh coming in with the ZAFT pilots following closely behind. They placed their right hand infront of their forehead, waiting for Cagalli's and Namine's signal. Namine demanded. "What is this? Why are they here? What are you doing Mr. Herotara and Mr. Maxwell?"

That caught Cagalli's attention and she turned and also was caught off-guard. She too wanted to know what was going on.

Josh was the first to speak. "We saw them wandering the hallway, representative Harada. We didn't know what to do, but ask them questions. They say to take them to Chief Representative Athha."

Namine's eyes narrowed at the ZAFT soldiers, but she gave Athrun a cold hard glare. However it was Cagalli who was speaking. "Alright, Toan Herotara and Josh Maxwell, you are two of the best pilots. You have to get to your suits quickly."

"Yes, madam." They both said.

"But Chief Representative, we are also here for another reason." Josh stated. "It's about the mobile suits."

Toan continued, "Permission to use the new suits, madam?"

Yuzuki looked at Cagalli, questionably after he said that and the two pilots looked at their representative, patiently, waiting for her answer. She looked like she was debating in her head, to use the new suits or not, to let EA and ZAFT know that ORB has been making new suits in secret. She clutches her hands into a fist, tightly. She had to make a decision; everyone was waiting for her answer, the lioness of ORB's answer to show that she was a true leader. A leader would know every answer to every question his/her soldiers ask her. She is Uzumi Nara Athha's daughter, and he was truly a great leader. She had to be like him; she had to get her father to be proud of her, even if he wasn't with her. He is watching over her above. She had, no she WILL make him proud of her.

"Herotara, Maxwell."

"Yes, Chief Representative?"

"I want you to go to the mobile suits that you were assigned to and get ready to launch, understand?"

"Understood, right away."

The two soldiers bowed to Cagalli and Namine, then walked quickly out the door, leaving the ZAFT soldiers behind. Athrun took his eyes away from the fading forms and saw Cagalli was looking at him with sadness in her eyes before she ripped their eye contact and turned her attention toward Namine.

"Namine, get the forces ready for a battle. I know there are more than just three EA soldiers out there." Cagalli stated, getting a shock reaction from Athrun and the others. "They can't stand the fact that we a small nation can control things that they cannot."

Cagalli gave Namine a small sad smile, "That is why they are here."

"I understand, princess." Namine returned the same smile. "I will get on it."

Cagalli's face turn serious and her eyes were filed with fire. "We will give them a battle to prove that ORB is not a nation to mess with."

To Be Continue…

I will be working on the second one as soon as possible and try to get all the OCs in it and trying to make this story sound good.

Other OCs will be making an entrance soon.

I also wanna ask: Do you think Cagalli should pilot the Akasuki or stick with the Strike Rouge? (For the future, maybe...)

I think I am getting all Angst, watching too many sad AMVs of Gundam SEED (Destiny). So I might...make some of the characters suffer the same way Cagalli suffer in Destiny. I think it would be good in the fanfic. Lol

WATCH THIS VIDEO (it's awesome!): soon and Plz READ and REVIEW.

Thanks.
