Time seemed to freeze. Right in front of them were guns pointed at them. The gunners was the Freedom and the Justice. The surprise was written all over everyone's face. Why would they suddenly attack us? Weren't they the ones that only intervened in battles, not the ones who took out their enemies? So many questions appeared in Shinn's mind. He wanted to get angry, but he didn't have a reason for it. He kept it up inside until he had a reason or he'd look like a complete fool charging into an armed ship and two legendary Gundams, although he would never really admit he, he really didn't want to face the Freedom and the Justice right now.

"Why have you come an suddenly attacked us? Why are you here trying to kill us? I thought you only intervened with battles. I didn't think you eliminate your enemies. What the hell is going on here?!" Shinn yelled.

The Justice looked like it was ready to fire the first shot, but the Freedom intervened. "We are here only to capture the Destiny and Impulse pilot. Nothing more, nothing less. So lets not get so hasty to kill each other and make the situation much worse." The freedom pilot said.

"Capture us?! Are you stupid?! Do you actually think that we'll go willingly with our enemy?!" Shinn yelled.

As the Legend tried to fire its first shot the Akatsuki quickly intervened and took the battle with him elsewhere. "If you fire the first shot we will be forced to use force." The freedom pilot said.

A shot could be seen coming from the Minerva signaling that they would rather go out with force then be willing to give out their two ace pilots. The Freedom and the Justice went straight for the Impulse. A quick slice from the Freedom and the Impulse was disabled completely.

"You bastards!" Shinn yelled as he charged. The only thing on his mind was to save Luna even if it cost him his life. He went into SEED mode and quickly tried to engage the Freedom in close combat action. As he was approaching several shots were fired off. He was quickly disabled and was captured. They flew back to the Archangel and they flew away.

Pain. That's all he could feel. Pain. Was this a dream? He slowly remembered everything that happened. Luna getting disabled by both the Freedom and the Justice. Then getting shot down by the Justice while trying to kill the Freedom. It all happened so fast. He wanted to open his eyes. To see Luna's smiling face and hear her say everything was alright. Hell, like that would happen.

He slowly opened his eyes. He was surprised. His wounds were treated and he was in the infirmary? Shouldn't captures put their victims in a cell rather then holding him down hostage and treating his wounds? Nothing made no sense to him. He heard footsteps coming. Suddenly the door opened

"Ah your awake," someone said. He tried to make out the voice. It took several seconds before he identified it as the Freedom pilot's voice.

He tried to speak. To ask where Luna was. He wanted to see her smiling face. To feel her touch. But all he could get out was a groan. He opened his eyes slowly but squinted because of the light. There we 5 figures. Five of them? They looked roughly about the same height. Shouldn't there be a height difference? This made no sense to him.

"Shinn..." He heard. He recognized it immediately. He shot up from his bed but pain rushed through him and he quickly lied down again. "Shinn, it's ok. Their not here to hurt us, not purposely anyways." he swore he could see the person roll their eyes. "Just rest for a bit Shinn, I'll never leave you, I'll always be by your side." Luna said.

"Luna... What happened?" Shinn managed to say.

"They only wanted to ask us for help Shinn. Even though their way of asking for help is capturing us" She rolled her eyes. "Just rest for now Shinn, I wont leave your side" She took his hand and held it between hers.

He heard footsteps. But they weren't approaching, they were retreating. He thought that Luna left him but was quickly assured by a squeeze of her hand. He decided to listen to Luna's words and fell asleep.

He awoke sometime later. He was afraid Luna left him but when he opened his eyes he could see everything clearly. Even Luna's bright smile when he looked to his right. "I'm so glad your ok. I thought they when he shot you, that you would of died. But your alive, and im grateful. Shinn found that his wounds were healed and it didn't hurt as much to sit up straight.

"I thought I lost you Luna. When the Freedom disabled the Impulse I was scared. I thought that you were going to die... and I went berserk on him, only to be disabled by the Justice. I'm just glad your ok Luna."

"As long as your ok Shinn. I'm happy" Luna said. They rested their foreheads on one another and were content on just staying in that position.

"Let's go explore the ship Luna. I want to talk to the Freedom pilot, and I want to ask why did he want to capture us." Shinn said. She nodded and they got up to go to the bridge. Just when they were going to head through the door Kira and Athrun came through. "Ah, your awake. Sorry for your injuries but Mr. Zala here said that he wanted to use force instead of words. Also he said something about you not listening but since you're here lets get to the point." The Freedom pilot said.

"First off my name is Kira Yamato. The reason why we got you both here is because of 2 reasons. 1 you were struggling to come with us freely when we didn't want to fight and 2, it concerns the new Extended pilots."

"The extended pilots? What about them?" Shinn asked.

"The only reason we came to capture you is because if we told the whole Minerva it would get to the Chairmen immediately and he would take action. Our plans exactly are to try and release the extended pilots from this mind control or..." Athrun paused.

"Or? What do u mean by or? What's the other option?" Luna asked.

"The other option is to kill them. The only reason your on board this ship right now is because you 2 are the best pilots in ZAFT that we could trust. If we brought Rey on board he would immediately think we're the enemy. That is why you're here." Kira said.

"If you help us you can end the war faster. The Chairmen is just using you. After he's done with you he'll just through you away like he did with the fake Lacus Clyne." Athrun said. (I jumped a few episodes while Shinn was asleep) "But if you do help us then you will be betraying the ZAFT forces and you'll be labeled a traitor just like Athrun is. If you refuse then we'll let you go back to the Minerva. It's entirely your decision and we meant no harm but my friend here got a little carried away." Kira said while looking at Athrun.

Shinn was shocked. So many things were in his head. They wanted to help end the war? They didn't mean any harm? But what if it's a trap? How could it be a trap if they treated me and Luna. Maybe I can trust them. I wasn't so sure on the Chairmen's words because he insisted we end the war through fighting. But if I go with these people I might find the happiness I was looking for. I looked into Luna's eyes and she smiled and nodded.

"Alright we'll join forces with you. Lets end the war together." Shinn said.

Authors Notes: Some of the reasons why Shinn is onboard the Archangel is because I hate it when the Chairmen uses him for his own bidding. Plus I couldn't leave Luna on the Minerva or they would "die" from depression. Hope you liked this chapter and thanks smrt-cookie20 for your ideas. Please review.
