Ok guys, make sure that you've prepared your 'Panadols' cause this chapter is going to be very long and might be slightly confusing. However, this chapter is going to reveal Sven's past. So read it or not, it's up to you.

R&R... Please?

Chapter 3: Memories…

C.E. 75, Marshall Island, ORB.

Marshall Island, was once a very peaceful island. One can easily identify this island by its white-sandy beach, its wide blue sea and its colorful field of flowers. The reason to this peaceful environment is due to the lesser usage of technology such as vehicles, large buildings, and factories compared to the much modern city such as 'Morgenroete'.

But now, this peace was destroyed in the flames as reports came in that Marshall Island was also under attacked by the very same organization that launched the attack worldwide.

"Everything seems normal here," Dearka whistled as he pilots his Zaku Phantom, flying over the area, followed by a red mobile suit and a variety of mobile suits from ORB and ZAFT. "Don't cha' think, kiddo?"

The brunette did not reply. His mind was floating away. This very place made him remember things. Good things and bad things. Memories that he doesn't wants to remember and memories he wants to cherish the most.

----------------------------------------------Flashback-------------------------------------------------

C.E. 66, Lion's Rose Primary School, Marshall Island, ORB.

"This kid's a coordinator? No kidding,"

"Get lost!!"

"Fuck away from this planet!!"

"Get away from my sight, parasite,"

"Kill him!!"

Those were the words that the young brunette first heard when he arrived on his very first day of primary school. He was mistreated, bullied by children older than him, abused by teacher and treated unfairly. Everyday he was beaten by other children. There isn't a day where Sven comes home without crying or having a bruise or two in either in his face, his hands or his knees.

He was living with his uncle and auntie back then as his parents are in PLANT. Even Sven's Uncle wasn't able to do anything about what the child has been gone through everyday due to the fact that they were all coordinators and during that particular time, coordinator citizens in ORB are much lesser and the conflict between Naturals and Coordinators were still at large.

Several months had gone through, repeating every single thing that happened onto the young brunette everyday, until it has became a part of his 'life'…

It was a usual day at school. The bell rung and everyone went to their classes. Sven was walking to his class too and while that, he received a lot of pierce glaring at him by other people, but he did not care at all. Giving them an emotionless stare as a respond.

In class, Sven's seat was at the top right corner of the class, it was arranged by his teacher who treats him the same way the students around treats him too.

He sat down at his chair and stared blankly outside the window while awaiting the teacher's presence in the class. Some students were gossiping at him but he didn't care.

The door opened and the teacher came in.

"Stand up, class," The class monitor shouted as he stands up. The whole class stood up after receiving the class monitor's command. "Good Morning, Sensei!"

The teacher placed his books on the table. "Alright class, sit down," With that, the whole class sat down on their chairs as the lesson begins.

"Class, take out your note book and write this down," the teacher hold a book with his hand and took a chalk and started to write some notes on the blackboard.

While the teacher was busy writing on the board. A student crumbled up a piece of paper into a ball-shaped and threw it onto the brunette's head.

Sven ignored him. The student then threw the ball-shaped paper again and again, much to Sven's annoyance. Sven clenched his teeth and his fist. He felt like beating up him but just couldn't because he did not want to cause any trouble and waited, so that the boy will get bored throwing at him soon.

The student got annoyed that Sven didn't give out any response. Perhaps the paper were too light for him, he presumed. So instead of ball-shaped papers, he switched to erasers. He threw a eraser very hard onto the brunette's head and because that the eraser is made out of rubber, it bounced off and hit a girl sitting in front of Sven.

"Itai!! Sensei, someone threw an eraser at me," The girl raised her hand to get the teacher's attention.

"Volfield!! I thought I told you to behave yourself. Can't you last one day without causing any troubles?" The teacher gave the brunette a dangerous glare, causing him to shake in fear.

"But teacher…I-..." Sven tried to explain before he got interrupt by his teacher. "I don't want to listen to any excuse!! Go stand outside the hallway!! You coordinators are nothing but trouble,"

Sven walked out of the class, his head looking down. Some of his classmates were laughing at him, especially the boy who threw the paper.

Tears rolling down from his cheek as he stand at the hallway. The brunette's lavender eyes were flooded with tears. Why? Why did everyone treat me differently, is it because I am a Coordinator? Is it because I am different than them?

Sven continued to stand at the hallway, all teachers who walked by didn't even ask why was he standing there, heck they didn't even look at him, as if he was invisible. The young brunette stood there until it was recess time.

He headed to the canteen, to get a nice and delicious food to clear off his sad mood.

"Umm, miss, I would like to have a curry bun, please," Sven took out a few coins.

Then came another boy and he too requested the same bun as Sven

The canteen lady took out a curry bun from a container and gave the boy instead of Sven, who came first than the boy. The canteen lady then resumes her work, leaving the brunette in starvation.

"What about mine, miss? I was here first, how come I don't get it?" Sven asked.

"Out of curry buns, so suck it up," The canteen lady rudely replied.

"Then can I have a tuna bread instead?" Sven asked again, ignoring the canteen lady's rudeness.

The canteen lady was annoyed. "Hey kid, I don't sell foods to coordinators here. Besides, you coordinators don't need to eat. Starve to death for all I care. So get lost!! You're contaminating my foods here!!"

He then walked away with disappointment, his stomach growled in hunger. He tried to ignore the hunger that keeps haunting his stomach.

Ignoring his hunger didn't help out much as it had already taken all over him, and it doesn't even help out much that his class was having P.E. lessons.

The muscular P.E. teacher stood there in the field, in front of the students. "Alright, get down and give me 50 fast push-ups now!!" With that, the P.E. teacher blew his whistle. Upon hearing the whistle, the students immediately get down and did push-ups very quickly. However, Sven, enduring the pain in his stomach due to his hunger, did his push-ups slowly because of his lack of energy. Later, he collapsed on his 46th push-ups. He tried to get back up and suddenly received a foot on the back of his head, pushing him down forcefully to the hard solid ground back.

"Whats the matter kid? Tired!! No excuse!! Give me another 100 push-ups when you're done!!"

"But teacher, I'm starv…"

"Don't fucking kid with me!! You're one of those friggin coordinators. I expected better!!" The P.E. teacher gave him a dangerous glare, the kind of glare that the brunette received everyday from everywhere.

Those are what the young brunette faced everyday...

Pain, suffering, starvation, abused….

Sometimes he felt like committing suicide, taking away all of his bitterness from this world, giving a permanent end to his suffering. But he continued living on.

This happened everyday, every hour, every minute, not a second sparred without making the young brunette coordinator enjoying a normal peaceful day.

Until one evening…

Sven was walking back home from yet another bitter day. While he was on the way back home, he received a heavy blow on the back. He fell on the ground, groaning in pain. Then, he was forcefully dragged into an alley. The brunette stood back up and turned around only to find out that three students from his school was the ones responsible for his pain. One of them was holding a baseball bat.

A boy with a spectacles grinned "Hehehe, koninchiwa," He made another punch into the brunette's groins.

Sven hold his stomach and fell on his knees, grunting. "What... What are you guys doing?"

"Oh nothing, just taking out a trash, that's all." With that, Sven received another uppercut punch.

The boy holding a baseball bat pulled the brunette's brown raven-hair, lifting him up. "We all hated you coordinators. Your types caused nothing but trouble to us humans,"

Another boy with gold yellow hair took out his belt. "Hey, hold him up, boys" The four-eyed boy then holds Sven's left arm while the boy with the baseball bat hold the right.

The blonde walked slowly towards Sven, swinging his belt around. Sven's face were only a few inches away from the boy's. The blonde boy patted the brunette on his face. "I'm going to make you suffer the pain we Naturals suffered from you coordinators," At that, the boy whipped Sven with his belt several times.

Sven screamed in pain but was muffled by the four-eyed boy holding his arm, preventing him to alert any people.

The brunette continued to get whipped until part of his clothes were tore apart, his body receiving some cuts and some of them were bleeding.

"Hey, don't go all stealing the fun you alone, my turn," The four-eyed boy then released Sven's arm, switching places with the boy with the belt. "Hold him up, I'm gonna clean his cute little face," He commanded and later spitted at Sven's face. "Do you like it? HUH??!" He then slapped the brunette's face. Blood was dripping from Sven's mouth.

Later, both the students released the weakened Sven. The brunette fell onto his knees, his figure somehow looked like he was kneeling.

"Hey look, the coordinator pig is kneeling at us," the boy with the baseball bat pointed Sven. "Let us end his sufferings," The boy then positioned his bat upwards, aiming to deliver a blow to the brunette's head.

After he got an exact aim, he swung his baseball bat. Just before the baseball bat was about to impact onto the brunette's head, Sven snapped and went into adrenaline. He grabbed the baseball bat in the nick of time and grabbed a glass bottle laying on the ground beside him and immediately smash the glass bottle onto the boy with the baseball bat's head.

The boy screamed in pain as the glass bottle shattered into pieces and caused his head to bleed. Now the situation's been reversed, Sven stood up while the boy was on his knees, holding his bleeding head, letting go his baseball bat.

Sven, upon seeing his assaulter's condition, he felt a strange feeling building inside him. Probably it is the feeling off satisfaction. How much the brunette longed to do that, finally he got the chance. He then grabbed the baseball bat and stared at his assaulter's eyes deeply.

He later then used all his force and swung the baseball bat onto the boy's arm, dragging him aside. The boy screamed in pain. The boy could barely stood back up, he leaned against the wall as a support and manage to stood back but only to receive yet another forceful blow onto his knees by Sven. The impact was so forceful that the baseball bat broke into two and a crack was heard at the boy's knee, signifying a broken knee. The boy then holds his knee and yelled painfully.

"AAAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!! Help me!! What are you doing there? Help me out!! EEERGHHH!!"

The boy's companion, stood there, their legs and hands were shaking. Fear took over them as they receive a sharp glare from the brunette. Sven's eyes were filled with anger, hatred and violence. The two boys immediately flee away, leaving their helpless friend laying on the ground.

Sven dropped the baseball bat onto the ground and left the place. He could've killed the crippled boy if he wanted to but somehow something made him changed his mind.

The next day at school, people around feared Sven as the news about him hurting a boy real bad was spread around. Even students who used to make fun and bully him stopped doing that and the teachers started to treat him normally. Whenever he walked, the other students will step aside and give him way.

C.E. 72, Orange Star High School, ORB.

As the years pass by, the Naturals started to accept Coordinators and they live peacefully in ORB as long as the Naturals and Coordinators obey some rules like, the Coordinators must not hurt the Naturals and the same goes to the Naturals. ORB also came out with an ideal of not interferring with other country's warfare. With that rule and ideal, ORB has officially became a neutral country for the past few years. However, there are still some Naturals who refused to accept Coordinators, but such cases only happens in school…

"Hey, Sven-kun, up for a game of soccer?" A boy with spiky black hair holding a soccer ball in his hands asked.

"Come on, stop reading and join us already, this time I'll become the keeper," Another boy with curly hair nudging a raven-haired boy's arm.

Sven closed his books and stood up from his chair. "Alright, lets go. I'm done reading anyway." He smiled.

Sven's life is much better now. He has lots of friends in his school and most of them are Naturals and Coordinators. His Naturals friends did not care much about Sven being a Coordinator.

They had fun playing soccer. Sven, being the striker manage to score a few goals, all thanks to the passes that his friends made. The brunette would never go solo if he gets the ball, he will always have someone to back him up from the back and side. He will always try to keep his identity as a Coordinator as low as possible by not selfishly take the ball in his possession alone all the time.

After a nice 10 minutes game of soccer, the group head back to the class. The brunette volunteered to take a detour to the canteen and buy some refreshing drinks for his friends.

After getting 8 bottles of lemonade, the brunette head back to his class only to hear a weak muffled scream, but was enough for him to get an exact location where the scream came from. Immediately he rushes to the scene.

At the backyard of the canteen, there stood two boys, cornering a helpless magenta-haired girl.

"What are you going to do?" The magenta-head girl tried to back away as much as she could but came to a dead end.

"Hey, baby. Isn't it the time where I get those juicy lips of yours?" One boy with a scar on his left cheek tried to get as close as possible to her but was pushed away.

The boy was rather annoyed and snapped his fingers, gesturing his friend.

A red-haired boy then holds both of the girl's hand. Placing a hard grip onto the her hands.

"Itai!! Let go of me!!" The girl screamed, struggling to release from the boy's strong grips.

The scar-faced boy went nearer and nearer. Almost acquiring his forceful kiss before a tiny rock hit his head, interrupting his moment. He was of course annoyed and turned around. "Who, who the hell did that?"

"Umm…besides you, your friend and the girl that your friend is restraining, who else do you think would be doing that?" The brunette stood there, holding another piece of rock in his hand, throwing it up in the air and grab it back, repeating the same thing over and over again.

The scar-faced boy saw red "Why you little bastard…Hey wait, aren't you one of the Coordinators?" He asked, his face imprinted with an evil smile.

Sven dropped the rock and placed both of his hands at the back of his head. "What if I say yes?"

"Now now, I'm just asking you, nothing much. I'm just wondering what'll happen if I actually beat up a Coordinator," With that, he rushed towards Sven and delivered a straight punch.

However, his speed couldn't match up with a Coordinator's quick reflexes. Easily, Sven was able to dodge all the punches that were thrown at him, much to the scar-faced boy's annoyance.

Later, the boy threw his punch aimlessly. But the brunette was able to side-step and tripped the boy.

The scar-faced boy stood back up. "Why you little… No more Mr. Nice Guy!!" He grunted then took out an expandable blade from his pocket and hide it behind his back.

He lashed towards the brunette and successfully, made a cut on his left hand, he was surprised as Sven didn't expect him to use a blade.

"How'd you like that?" the scar-faced boy got excited upon injuring his opponent. Sven only let out a grunt, holding his hand, trying to stop the blood from flowing out of his cut.

The magenta-head gasped. "No, stop it!!" This time, with more effort, the girl struggled even more to get free and manage to get free from the red-head's grip when she decided to knock the back of her head onto the boy's head, thus releasing her.

While Sven was busy grunting in pain, the boy was already making his move to stab Sven. In just a second, he had already positioned himself to a stabbing pose and was going to stab Sven until the girl tried to stop them by standing in between. "Stop it, the both of you!!"

However, the boy continued to launch his blade forward, ignoring the presence of the girl. His eyes became wide with a maniac's smile on his face. "Huahahahaha!! DIE, you Coordinator pigs!!" Judging by his expressions, he was gonna stab the girl too. He has gone completely insane!!

At that, the brunette snapped, he pushed the girl aside and grabbed the blade with his bare hand and launched a powerful punch at the boy's face, sending him flying backwards and broke his nose.

"What are you trying to do, get yourself killed?" Sven shouted at the magenta-head, ignoring his bleeding hand.

The red-head boy ran to the scar-faced boy's side. "Hey Tim, are you ok?"

"Of course I'm not!!" Tim wiped away his blood that was coming out from his nose. "I'll remember this," With that, Tim and his red-head friend stormed away in defeat.

Sven sat on the ground, completely exhausted, tearing a piece of his shirt to bandage himself.

"Here, let me help," The girl offered her hand. Her eyes filled with sympathy towards the brunette that got injured because of her.

"Its okay, I don't need your help,"

"Please, let me help you. You're hurt because of me,"

Sven gave out a sigh. "Alright, you win. Here," He gave his hand to the magenta head to help him bandage up his cut. "Hey, aren't you afraid of me? After all, I'm a Coordinator," He asked all of a sudden.

The magenta-head smiled. "No. In fact, it doesn't matter if you're a Coordinator or a Natural, as long as we have a good heart, we are no different. There, done," The girl patted her hands, praising herself for a job well done.

"Not bad. At least its better than my bandaging," Sven gave out a smirk.

"Oh…umm…, May I have your name?" The girl asked.

Sven stood up. "Steven, Steven Volfield,"

"My name is Minatsuki Kaoru, nice to meet you," the magenta-head offered out her hand. Sven grabbed her hand and they shook hands. Sven blushed slightly, this is the first time he ever shook hands with other people and with a...girl. Suddenlly, he felt something warm in him, something attracting him even more towards her. Perhaps he had fallen in love for her? Love at first sight?

"Oh yeah, why was those boys threatening you?" Sven asked as they walked away from the backyard.

"Well…."

The two chatted the whole day and enjoyed each other's presence very much. A Coordinator and a Natural, this is the beginning of a certain relationship…

C.E. 73, Volfield residence, Marshall Island, ORB (Break the World incident)

"Due to the pieces of Junius 7's falling upon earth, it is rather confusing about where the pieces might hit. The whole globe might encounter disaster. All citizens, do not panic. Please follow the authority's instructions,"

"Once again, all citizens who lived nearby the shore, please move towards the balcony or tall buildings. Due to the falling of Junius 7, a tsunami has been forecasted, please…." The instruction from the radio was cut off.

"Steven, hurry up and help packing these things up," A blue-haired woman, in her thirties, asking her nephew to help her out.

Beside her stood another man, "Yeah, we need to get to the shelter. Hurry, before the pieces of Junius 7 starts hitting this area,"

"I'm packing as fast as I can now, Uncle David and Aunt Rena," The brunette packed and packed. Not even sparring a moment to take in some air or rest.

"OK, let's get out of here. Its time to say good-bye to this house," David got into his car as soon he finished packing their stuffs inside the boot of the car.

With that, the Volfields traveled to the shelter in their car. They traveled a few hours, hoping to reach safely to the shelter but only to confront with massive traffic-jams. The condition got worst as some of the pieces of Junius 7 were already falling down onto earth but the only place it impacts is either the forest or the sea, so the citizens still have some time to escape before turning into a victim themselves.

Several hours later, the Volfields were close to the shelter. All they need to do is just to cross a tunnel and they will arrive at there safely.

"We're almost there, Steven," Rena Volfield turned and gave him a motherly smile.

Sven on the other hand was speechless. His eyes were rather filled with fear. "Don't worry, champ. We'll get there safely," David Volfield looked at the rear mirror which reflected towards Sven.

Things went smoothly as the Volfields car entered the tunnel, although there are small earthquakes occurring due to the impact of the pieces of Junius 7. Suddenly an explosion was heard in front, a group of rescuers and firemen rushed into the tunnel. Sven looked rather confused. "What's happening in there, Uncle?"

"I don't know," Sven's uncle stretched his head up, trying to look over the cars and see what's in front but unsuccessfully saw anything as there is a giant truck in front blocking the view. "Probably some accidents happening in front,"

"Uncle, aunt, can I go take a look on what's happening there?" Curiosity got the best of Sven.

The two looked at each other and looked at Sven. "Well, we're going to reach the shelter anyway. So…" His aunt stopped halfway. "So, we allow you to go. Besides, we don't want you to die of boredom in this car. But if the situation got worse, I want you to come back. Understand?" His Uncle continued.

Sven couldn't stop smiling upon the approval of his uncle and aunt. Sven got out from the car and ran towards the scene. As he run, he didn't notice the truck blocking their way is actually a gasoline truck.

Sven reached to the scene and found out that it was actually an accident involving 5 cars in total. One car suddenly exploded due to unknown reasons and caused a car in front and behind to explode as well, seriously damaging another car behind it. A total of 16 people were killed and 7 were heavily injured. The fire was still raging from the exploded cars. Rescuers were trying to carry the injured to the medication room provided by the authorities. Some firemen were trying to put out the fires and some were helping citizens who were trapped in their cars. Even some citizen got out from their vehicles and helped.

Sven helped to put out the fire too as he found an extra fire extinguisher. Suddenly, the ground was shaking strongly and the ceiling of the tunnel began to fall apart. The walls started to crack and sands were flowing down from the ceilings.

The brunette lost his balance and fell on the ground. "What the hell?" He grunted.

"A piece of Junius 7 had collided on top of the tunnel!! It won't hold long!! Its gonna fall!! RUN!!" Someone shouted, running away with his belongings.

As soon as the citizens heard the warning, they began to panic and ran away with their families and belongings, leaving behind their vehicles.

Some were shouting "We're gonna DIE!!" Some lost their hope "What's the point of running? We're death anyway,"

"Citizens, please remain calm and head towards the shelter. Make sure that you have your belongings with you and stay close with your relatives, do not separate with them," The P.A. spoke.

"Uncle, Aunt!!" Sven raced back to his relative's car but was pushed back by the overloading running citizens. Some even pushed him away for blocking the road. Frustrated, the brunette jumped onto the rooftops of the cars and jumped to one and another.

Almost reaching to his relative's location, Sven hoped for his relative's safety. Just when he landed on the car nearby the gasoline truck, a big piece of the ceiling rock fell directly on top of the gasoline truck's gas tank and resulted a massive explosion which sent the brunette flying away.

His body impacted hardly onto the walls. He groaned in pain. But he managed to stand up. Sven snapped and rushed back to his relative's location. His face was pale, sweats covered his whole face. Please be fine…PLEASE!! He shouted in his own mind.

In a minute, just when Sven was about to reach there, a block of rocks blocked the passage. There were still fires rising behind the wall of rocks. Explosions can still be heard from the other side of the rocks.

"Uncle David!! Aunt Rena!!" He shouted. His voice filled with fear and sorrow.

With no response given back to the brunette, he climbed onto the rocks, attempting to move away the rocks. The burning rock made him to jumped back as the hot rock burnt his hands. "UNCLE DAVID!! AUNT RENA!!" He shouted again, tears begin to flood his lavender eyes.

Sven stepped back. His eyes were watery and blank, not believing at what's happening. A shinning object caught his attention. Sven went closer and saw a ring. Immediately, he recognizes the ring as it belongs to his uncle and aunt. It was their wedding ring. The ring was sizzling hot but he took it and placed it on his palms, starring deeply into the ring, ignoring the heat from the ring. Holding the ring with his both hands, he leaned it against his chest and let his emotions burst out.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"

The brunette's cry echoed through the tunnel. Several Rescuers came. One of them saw Sven's condition and gently placed his hand on Sven's shoulder. "Come on kid, this place is getting more and more dangerous. Here, let me bring you to the shelter," The rescuer gave out his hand.

Sven stood up and turned around, ignoring the rescuer's help. Still holding the ring in both of his hands, his body trembling as he walked away aimlessly.

C.E. 73, ORB shelter, Marshall Island, ORB.

An hour had passed and the pieces of Junius 7 are still falling down onto earth. The ground in the shelter was still shaking.

There the brunette is, sitting in a dark corner, hugging himself. His eyes wide-opened and his pupils were small, staring blankly onto the empty space as he is still shocked at what just happened.

His uncle and aunt, died in a fiery death. He shouldn't have left the car, he should have stayed at the car with his uncle and aunt. Yes, he could have been with his uncle and aunt by now if he hadn't go out of the car earlier.

"Anna-chan, are you alright? Did you hurt anywhere?"

"It's ok now, dear. Everything's gonna be fine,"

"Hey dude, nice seeing you still in one piece,"

Seeing other people around the shelter, with their families, with their love ones and with their friends, happily caring for one and another, Sven buried his head into his arms and cringed into a ball-like figure.

Suddenly, a clear, sweet melody flowed through the whole room and caught the brunette's attention. He lifted his head and saw a familiar female figure, sitting in front of him, embracing a little girl in her arms.

"Kaoru-chan….?" He mumbled weakly.

It was Kaoru, the magenta brown-haired girl. She was singing to the little girl she's embracing, rocking her gently as she sings.

Shizukana, kono yoru ni, anata wo, matteru no,

Ano toki, wasureta hohoemi wo, tori ni kite,

Are kara, sukoshi dake, jikan ga sugite,

Omoide ga, yasashiku, natta ne.

Hoshi no, furu basho de,

Anata ga, waratte irukoto wo,

Itsumo, negatteta,

Itsu kara, hohoemi wa, konna ni, hakanakute,

Omoi wo, anata ni todoketai,

Itsumo, soba ni iru,

Sono tsumetasa wo, dakishimeru kara,

Ima toukutemo, kitto aerune.

Shizuka na yoru ni.

The magenta-haired girl took a deep breath in after singing. She lay the little girl down as she felt asleep, under her sweet and gorgeous melody. She turned around and was surprised to see the brunette here.

"Ah, Steven-kun, koninchiwa," She smiled softly towards the brunette who gave no response. "Hey, whats the matter with you?" she crawled and sat beside him.

Sven buried his head into his arms again. Not having a mood to talk.

Kaoru looked at the people in front of her and suddenlly something popped-up in her mind. "You lost someone important, isn't it?" she asked all of a sudden.

Sven snapped, he lifted his head up. Kaoru looked at his face only to find out that he's actually crying. The girl embraced the brunette gently. "There, there, it's OK now. Don't cry," Kaoru gently touched Sven's face, stroking his hair.

"My Uncle and Aunt…." Sven mumbled while wiping away his tear.

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that," Kaoru softly leans her head and body onto Sven's, sharing her warmth with him. Normally, Sven would've been crimsonly blushed by now but, well...he was to...moody.

For a moment there, it was silence. Not even a single voice was heard from the two. Only the voice of the people in the shelter and the voice of explosion outside the shelter were heard. The silence could go on forever until Sven decided to break it,

"That song…,"

The girl closed her eyes and smiled. "That's Lacus Clyne's song, 'Shizukana Yoruni', I'm one of her fans," her head was still resting at the brunette's shoulder.

"Can you….sing it again?" his face slightly blushed.

The girl just smiled. "Alright…" Kaoru inhaled deeply.

Shizukana, kono yoru ni……

After things have settled down, citizens of ORB returned to their normal lives. The whole country was like a living hell after the falling pieces of Junius 7. Almost all houses and buildings were wiped out, cars and transportation destroyed, and dead corpses everywhere. ORB begins rebuilding the whole country with cooperation from both Naturals and Coordinators.

Sven lived with Kaoru after the incident, her family warmly welcomed him despite of him being a Coordinator…

--------------------------------------------End Flashback----------------------------------------------

C.E. 75, Marshall Island, ORB.

'Hey, kid!! Kid!! Watch out!!"

The brunette snapped out of his thoughts and quickly stepped on the pedal as his mobile suit almost crashed onto a mountain in front of it.

"What are you day-dreaming about? We have a job to do, you know? If we don't do it properly, Yzak'll have our heads off," Dearka chuckled humorlessly, picturing something stupid in his head.

"Sorry," Sven took off his helmet and wiped away his sweat.

Sven and Dearka suddenly received a voice contact from their silver-haired captain. His voice was unclear but sounded like he was struggling or something.

"We…..attacked……need…..backup…..meet…..at…..Area-20….be care---," the voice ended.

Dearka's face turned serious. "Something's wrong with Yzak and his team. Alright, we're done here. Let's head to Yzak's area!! Don't wanna keep him waiting,"

"Roger," Sven agreed.

"Everybody, follow me!!" Dearka commanded.

With that, every mobile suit dashed away, following their black mobile suit captain.

To be continued……

Please review!! I need to know what am I missing out!!
Well, i just don't know what to say anymore...

Anyway, (digs a hole and hides in it).
