Chapter Eleven

No Mercy

Earth Alliance Capitol

Palace Main Room

Kira walked in and followed the walkway up to the palace, this place was a lot bigger up close, Kira made a mental note of the surroundings as he was walking in, he got the exact count of guards and there positions, but he would observe a little more later. Kira walked up to the main entrance and once again had to go through the same ritual, but they found nothing and waved him in.

Kira smiled and walked right into the main door, he had his mind only on one thing and that was killing this man, as he wanted to for two long years. Kira walked right in and would complete this task no matter what.

Kira walked through the doors only to find that most hallways and doors were guarded, he followed the path that was straight forward that lead him to the main room, it was an enormous ballroom like opening, Kira made sure to take all the surroundings in, he looked around and saw that this room had two stories with two sets of stairs leading up to them, There was a stage towards the center where a professional orchestra was playing, there were tables set up towards the sides of the room, and the gigantic dance floor in the center.

There were two main hallways take lead into other parts of the palace, but they were guarded by armed guards. There was a large bar set up on one side towards the entrance and a food table on the other side. Kira looked around and he saw several spots he could stay and probably be left alone. He saw many of the guests had already arrived and were either sitting at the tables or on the dance floor, all were dressed elegantly, and Kira was pleased that he was being ignored at the moment.

Kira wanted to do a routine check of the room upstairs and down he wanted to know exactly where everything was, he wanted to know guard positions, and to examine the escape routes he memorized on the map. Kira also needed to find a spot where he would make the shot, and most importantly find a way to retrieve the weapon.

Kira looked through the crowd and saw that there were a lot of elderly people most likely leaders of aligned countries or ambassadors, Kira was surprised to see some people his own age as well, most likely sons and daughters of the ambassadors and leaders. Kira wanted to start looking around but he was starting to get noticed by a lot of people near his age, Kira knew that if this kept up he would be approached so he turned around and walked the other direction, Kira was looking around about to head up the stairs when the crowd started applauding, Kira looked around and saw five people walking on the stage, one of which he was not supposed to see for a few more hours his target Azeral.

Kira watched as the five people stopped, two elder gentlemen, his target and to people his own age, one male and the other female. Kira looked at his target sternly, if Azeral was going to make his speech early Kira would without a doubt take him out with his bare hands, but that didn't seem the case. Kira looked at the camera crews and saw that they weren't set up for this yet. Kira stopped near the stairs and listened to the elder gentlemen talk.

Kira recognized the man about to talk as it was William Sutherland one of the newly appointed leaders of the alliance military, but also a heavy blue cosmos supporter. The other three he didn't know but he recognized the other elder man from somewhere.

Sutherland walked up to the microphone, "I apologize for the brief interruption but I wanted to formally announce a few of our important guests," he said as all were looking on especially Kira.

"First our main guest for the night, it is an honor to welcome our soon to be next leader Azeral," William said as Azeral just walked up and stood next to him.

The crowd applauded, except for Kira.

Azeral stepped back and William spoke again, "You will hear more from him later, next it is a pleasure to welcome the vice foreign minister George Allster, with his daughter Flay and her fiancée Sai Argyle," Sutherland said as they bowed forward.

Kira looked at the three with interest he now remembered George Allster, he looked at the other two and saw the man called Sai was a scrawny weakling from what he could tell, he looked over and saw that Allsters daughter was not what you would expect with a person like Argyle, Kira could also tell she looked annoyed and bored.

The crowd applauded and Sutherland spoke again, "It is these two that will bring us the most results from the recent tragedy caused by the coordinators, all will be explained later as Mr. Azeral makes his speech and declaration as the new leader of the Earth Alliance," Sutherland said as the crowd applauded again.

That was news to Kira, he didn't know that he moved up that quickly but it wouldn't matter to him, the new Earth alliance leader would fall before the night was over.

As the crowd finished Kira was about to head up the stairs again, but he was swamped by a group of people wanting to know more about him, they were mostly his own age and wanted to know all about him for some reason, especially the few girls in the group as they got closer to him.

"We have never seen you before, what country do you represent?" One girl asked as she had a huge blush.

"I told you I would speak to him first," Another said as Kira knew this was going to be trouble, he would not involve himself with naturals anymore, not after what happened two years ago.

They started bickering and Kira used the opportunity to slip away as the others were trying to prevent a fight, Kira was easily able to make it up the stairs, and when they stopped bickering they found him not there.

Kira signed in relief, but that wasn't the only person who noticed him, the red head on the stage noticed him as well.

Flay was bored and she was sick of being around this arranged fiancée her father made her go into, so she started looking around and saw the group by the far away stairs, Flay saw who they were talking to and smiled and blushed.

"Now that looks like a real man, I think I will play with him later," Flay said as she watched him head up the stairs with a smile, she always did this, she didn't like her fiancée so she would always find someone else to play around with at these gatherings.

Second Floor of the Main Room

Kira walked up the stairs to find out what type of security and if he could get to the west wing from here, Kira got up the stairs and found mostly tables with a few food tables along with two more bars. There were several people up here discussing the matters that just occurred, as Kira walked by he heard there discussions about how monstrous coordinators were, but he ignored it. Kira found the main door that would lead into the west wing of the second floor, at the other end there was another that lead into the east wing.

Kira unfortunately saw that they were both heavy guarded, it would take him much to overpower the guards but that would blow his cover, Kira knew he couldn't get in this way, he knew he would have to leave this room, and get to another stairway located in a different place around the palace. Kira remembered a few when he walked in but they would be guarded, but he decided to at least check it out.

Kira was about to leave when he looked over the edge, Kira had to find a spot to fire the weapons as well, from the second floor was less danger to himself, but he limited his escape routes, if he fired from the first floor, he would have to deal with a lot more security but his escape would be easier. Kira looked around over the ledge from the first floor, he saw where Azeral would make his speech and he saw where the cameras were positioned, it would be good to get in the way of a camera and have his face all over. Kira glanced around and found the perfect place to do it, it was near the side of the stage near a window that was stationed about seven feet in the air, Kira knew that the widow lead to the back of the palace which would make his escape a lot easier, reaching the widow wouldn't be a problem, as he could easily use the wall to throw himself upward to reach it, Kira decided to hold off his escape planning and reach his weapon first, he had about an hour and forty five minutes to be situated.

Kira found the spot he would fire from and now he needed his weapon, Kira returned to the stairs and began walking down them, he was reaching the exit when a familiar red head stepped out in front of him.

"I have been watching you all night," Flay said with a seductive smile.

Kira was forced to stop as she was in his way, he looked straight at her.

Orb

Palace

Uzumi was doing some last minute business or Orb before he headed up to the Plants. Orb was well aware of what transpired at Panama. Many in Orb agreed with Uzumi's ideals of setting up a peace treaty with both Zaft and the Alliance, while the few others believed that it would be beneficial for them to side with the alliance. Uzumi would never take any one side in this and hoped that his nation would lead the way for other earth nations to head down the road of peace.

Uzumi spent most of the day in meetings with the other Orb councilmember's and he was pleased so far with the outcome. Uzumi was finally able to sit down until his daughter came in the room.

"Father I'm going with you," Cagalli said.

Uzumi looked at her, "This is a crucial meeting Cagalli, I don't think that you will be needed."

Cagalli grew angry what she wanted she was going to make happen, and Uzumi new it.

"Wouldn't it look better if I were there showing support? After all Lacus will be there so people should see the younger generation agreeing with this plan as well," Cagalli told him sternly.

Uzumi smiled, "Very well, you do have a valid point, so I will take you along."

Cagalli smiled, as she thanked her father and left the room, as soon as Cagalli left the room Uzumi went into his desk drawer and pulled out a locked box, he unlocked the box and opened it revealing a photo. Uzumi took the picture out and stared at it, it was a picture of a woman holding two babies.

Uzumi sighed, "Cagalli will make a perfect replacement for me when I'm gone, I just wish we could have recovered Kira as well," Uzumi said as he turned the photo over revealing the names. "I wish I could tell her, but I don't believe I ever will," Uzumi said as he looked at the other name, "I know you are still out there somewhere, and I have a feeling that eventually the past will come back to us all." Uzumi said as he tried countless times in the past to track down Kira but always failed, Patrick made sure of all of that.

Uzumi placed the photo back in the box and locked it up again, the public knew about the ultimate coordinator, they didn't know that Uzumi knew a lot about it and they didn't know that Cagalli was the twin, and he knew it had to stay that way.

Palace

"I have been watching you all night," Flay said with a seductive smile.

Kira was forced to stop as she was in his way, he looked straight at her, Kira was afraid that something like this would happen, he eyed the woman in front of him, she was without a doubt the one he saw on stage that day, she was giving him a seductive smile and Kira knew it.

"Is that so, if you will excuse me Miss I have to be somewhere," Kira said as he tried walking in away from her but she grabbed his arm.

"I think it can wait…dance with me," Flay said as she moved up a lot closer to Kira.

"Don't you have a fiancee Miss Allster?" Kira asked as he wanted out of there.

Flay frowned, "That little weakling is nothing compared to you, now come on dance with me, and I am really glad you know who I am," Flay said as she started moving even closer."

This was defiantly not what Kira wanted, he would not let what happened two years ago happen again, and Kira could tell that this girl obviously did more than once.

Kira quickly made up an excuse, "I'm sorry Miss Allster, but I don't know how to dance," Kira lied as he turned again to walk away but she held his arm tighter.

"Well then, I think I will have to show you," Flay said as she moved her face closer to his.

Kira was getting annoyed with this girl, she was not leaving him alone, "I don't think it's proper," Kira said as he once again tried to leave.

Flay was starting to get a little annoyed, she was a spoiled brat who got everything she always wanted and she would not let someone say no to her, "Who does he think he is, I want to play with him and I will, Daddy said I can have anything I want, expect for marrying the little dweeb, but I will have him as my toy for tonight," Flay told herself as she spoke out again.

"All I ask is for one dance, why won't you give me that!" Flay nearly shouted as the people were starting to look, which was not good for Kira.

Kira wanted so badly to put a bullet in this girl, and she should be grateful he was unarmed at the moment, Kira saw the crowd starting to stare, and he could not have that, so he saw he had plenty of time so he gave in.

"Alright, just one dance," Kira said as Flay smiled widely.

She grabbed his hand and clung to his arm, "See that wasn't so hard, you should have listened to me." Flay said as they were heading on the dance floor.

Flay turned to face him, "By the way I don't even know your name," Flay said as she smiled seductively again.

Kira looked at her, "Are names really that important?"

Flay frowned and Kira knew she would start having a fit again; "I just want to know what to call you, especially for later."

Kira didn't like the sound of that, but he couldn't risk a scene here, "It's Ace," Kira said as he said the first thing that came to his mind, he got title when he was on the shooting range.

Flay smiled, "This will be more fun than I thought, now lets dance," Flay said as she used the opportunity to moved extremely close to Kira, she was all over him and he wanted badly to throw her off, but he played along."

As they were dancing Flay started running her mouth off, "Don't you think this party is lovely, a little boring but still fun, my daddy said it was going to be a special night when we finally have a plan to get rid of the coordinators once and for all, don't you think there stupid, I'm mean its sick to have your genes operated on, don't you like my dress…" she went on and on and on, but what Kira heard in the first part really caught his attention, and he smiled.

This wasn't as bad as he thought, this girl obviously had information about the earth alliance and since he had to stick around her for awhile he decided to make her talk.

"How interesting, what do you think they will do to the coordinators?" Kira asked.

Flay smiled and was happy he spoke back, "Daddy said once they get those big things that make the large lights into space they won't know what hit them, isn't he smart?" Flay said as she was spilling all her guts.

Kira could tell she was a moron, but from what she said he knew she was talking about the nukes.

"Your father does seem intelligent; I wonder how they will get that many into space?" Kira said as he knew how to get information out of her.

Flay smiled again, "Daddy didn't saw anything about that, but I know he will find the perfect way…anyhow tell me more about yourself, do you live around here, what country do you come from, are you single, what do you think about my hair?" she went on again, and Kira noticed she wasn't even making much sense, the dance ended but Flay would stop she wanted more, she had special plans for him and didn't want him going anywhere.

Kira knew she would start again if he left so he stuck around, he looked around trying to spot her father or fiancée so he could get out of this but they were to busy talking with the big shots to notice, and Kira didn't blame them she would not shut up and she is a spoilt brat.

After about forty minutes Kira was down to an hour and he had not waste anymore time. Flay was basically telling him her whole life story and Kira was getting bored, but he kind of understood why she was this way, she was given everything but she was a lonely person, but Kira didn't much care, he waited for the song to get over so he could get away not caring anymore but he had to find a way up those stairs.

The song ended and Kira looked at her but she leaned closer to him placing her face next to his ear, "Why don't we go upstairs?" Flay said as she wanted to play with him now.

Kira couldn't believe what he heard, and there was no way he was touching her but that opened up a window of opportunity, she was a known here and they would let her through without any trouble, and Kira knew he could use this.

Flay saw him deep in thought and decided she would try something else.

Kira broke from his train of thought but when he turned to face her she immediately kissed him, Kira was in shock at first and he grew angry but as he looked at her he had an image of a girl from one of the darkest parts of his past, she had long blonde hair and blue eyes.

Flay was pleased he wasn't pulling away and she broke it slowly staring at him, "I will take that as a yes," Flay said as she started pulling him along.

Kira got back to normal and realized fully what Flay did, and he wanted badly to strangle her but he had to use this as he let her pull him along.

Flay was smiling the whole way as they went up the stairs towards the west wing, it was shear chance and Kira was glad for that, Flay approached the guard and they didn't even check her as she and her father were staying here for the trip here. The guards nodded to her and opened the door telling them to go in; Kira was pleased as they went into the west wing.

West Wing

Kira remembered the room he had to go to and needed to find a way to get there, he saw Flay in front of him and she stopped at her room, "Let's go."

Kira stopped and Flay noticed, "Where are we?" Kira asked.

Flay smiled, "My room where else, we are going to have some fun," Flay said as Kira had to do a little acting, he reached out and pulled her to close to him.

Flay was surprised but she liked that.

"Not here let's go elsewhere," Kira said.

Flay looked at him, "We won't be disturbed here."

Kira smiled at her, "This will be more fun, if we don't know," Kira told her as Flay looked into her eyes she was really loving this side and she did not complain.

Kira took her hand and lead her to where he memorized the room to be, Kira looked back and saw she was getting very exciting, but he hated to break it to her that she wasn't going to get what she wanted.

They reached the room and Kira stopped to check it and it wasn't locked he smiled as this was the room.

"Why here?" Flay asked as she wanted action.

"Wait here, I need to check it first," Kira said as Flay smiled she like this.

"Don't take to long I am not a patient person," Flay said as she leaned up against the wall, but she then had an idea and as he walked in she quickly ran back into her room for something.

Kira didn't acknowledge her as he walked in, he saw that the room was just like he imagined in, he had fifty minutes to get into position, Kira walked over and pulled the bed out a little bit and just like the agent said the gun was strapped to the back, Kira smiled as he took the gun out and checked the clip, it was full and Kira popped it back in and placed the gun in the back of his tuxedo, but as he did that the door opened and Kira turned around and what he saw shocked him.

Room

Flay finished what she was doing in her room and opened the door and saw no one so she quickly ran back to the room, she didn't want to wait any longer out in the hallway and she thought he was playing some sort of game with her and she liked the idea so she decided to play one of her own, Flay looked around and saw no one there and she did a little task and walked into the room.

As she did she stopped and Kira turned around to find her wearing practically nothing, and that really put him in a bad situation, there was no way he was touching her. Flay rushed back to her room to find something better to wear; she did this at every gathering so she was a pro at changing quickly. Flay couldn't wait in the hallway like that so she barged into the room.

Flay smiled as she was watching him react that way, "I have a feeling I will enjoy him better than the others in the past," Flay said as she walked closer to him.

Kira was thinking of a way out of this but he had no time as she kissed him again, and once again the image of the blonde came to his mind, a painful reminder of a tragic past. Kira was losing himself as she was walking him backwards towards the bed, Kira almost gave in but what happened next changed that instantly.

Kira closed his eyes about to give in when he saw another image this time of the target he failed to kill, her long pink hair and her sparkling blue eyes, Kira instantly opened her eyes and shoved Flay off of him with tremendous force. Flay flew back towards the floor stunned and angry, no one as ever refused her.

Flay was about to shout but what she saw in his eyes petrified her, his eyes were completely darker and they were burning holes straight threw her.

"You spoiled little brat, you are not her and will never be her," Kira shouted as Flay was shocked, Kira didn't say anymore as he walked out wondering why Lacus appeared in his mind, he only knew her for a second and he was supposed to kill her. Kira slammed the door shut leaving a very confused Flay, she didn't know what happened, she couldn't even move.

As Kira got out he placed his head on the wall, it was the first image in his mind that worried him, he had not thought of her in a long time. He couldn't think of her, but he had to in order to be able to finish this mission

Two Years earlier

Two years earlier was a time when Kira was rising in success with all of his perfect missions, Patrick was pleased and decided to place him on his most difficult by far. Kira was to infiltrate and blue cosmos training facility as a young natural. Kira did what he was told and kept his skills at a minimum as he was accepted into the base; this was the mission that started one of the darkest moments of his life.

Kira's target was the man in charge of the base, and one of Azeral's top men in command. This guy cared only for his position and nothing else. Kira arrived at the base with a lot of other people his age, but he wasn't expecting to ever find her. She was the daughter of his target and she was the same age as him. Kira for some reason could never take his eyes of her. It didn't take long for her to notice him as well. Kira kept his skills low, but he was the best out of all the other trainees, and he still remembers the first time he spoke to her, he was overlooking the night sky when she approached him.

Kira spoke with her that night but found she was very different from her father. She didn't discriminate against coordinators and just wanted all to live in peace. Her heart was pure and she loved life. Kira and she grew close in no time almost to the point where he was forgetting his mission.

They were both sixteen and they experienced everything in just a few weeks with each other. Kira found that all naturals were not that bad. Kira would have done anything for her. The leader of the base found out but at first he was proud to have his best soldier with his daughter, which could make him even more popular, he didn't care much for his family it was all about his position.

After a month after there meeting Kira and her went even further with there relationship and Kira was ignoring status reports and orders from the homeland. Little did Kira know that another of Patrick's agents was done there as well and was observing him. This man reported back to Patrick and he was furious, his ultimate weapon was taken in by a natural and he quickly fixed the situation.

Kira was not at the base one fateful night that the blue cosmos leader received a phone call from his leader Azeral. What he heard made his eyes go big, his main soldier the man his own daughter was dating was a coordinator, Azeral told him to take care of the situation, the man was furious as he confronted his daughter about the situation, she was shocked but she didn't care that he was a coordinator, he told her to help set him up but she refused, the man was furious but Azeral was still on the line he heard that and told the man that traitors had to be dealt with.

The man had no hesitations as his job was more important as he shot her straight in the chest, he didn't even give her another look as he left her there, she couldn't believe it as her own father shot her, and she was left to die. The man returned to the large estate to gather a force but he wouldn't have to wait long.

Kira returned on that road minutes later to find her lying there, he ran up to her and found her still alive, he didn't know what emotions came over him as he watched her, she look up and saw him and the words she said he never forgot. She told him she knew about him but didn't care, she told him to run from her father, and with her dying breath she told him to be happy.

She died in his arms and he lost it, rage hate and anger built up in his system, Kira gently laid her down as he went to his hidden weapons and got all his equipment, the leader inside was gathering his men when a lone figure walked up to the gate, they immediately recognized him but it was to late Kira opened fire killing all of them.

Kira didn't stop there as he mercilessly slaughter all of them, all were in fear of his movements and begged for there lives but he didn't stop he killed them all, leaving only the leader, he locked himself in his office but Kira easily kicked threw the door, he was frozen in fear as Kira used his guns to shot him in his arms and legs, Kira was going to make him die slow, Kira walked up to him and began shooting him mercilessly as one clip ran out he put another in to keep shooting the corpse, Kira didn't stop until he was completely out of ammo. Kira dragged his mutilated body and impaled him on the outside fence; Kira then set the house a blaze and looked one last time at the man impaled on the fence.

Kira finished and buried the daughter where she fell, she wanted him to be happy but he would not be until blue cosmos was gone. Kira's belief of naturals was shattered and he was more determined to make the leaders world reality. If a natural would kill his own daughter someone who never hurt a soul, then they deserved whatever the leader had planned. Kira had never had a darker day, he slaughtered them all without mercy and even though they deserved it, he still couldn't believe he did it. Kira left her words behind for now as he would not be happy until Azeral and blue cosmos were gone. Kira didn't think of this day again until now, no one ever touched him like she did until Flay but Flay was not her and she was defiantly not Lacus. Lacus was starting to have the same if not a stronger effect on him, he didn't now why as he only saw her for a few minutes, but somehow he knew she was his way to true happiness.

Patrick got word of the success of the mission and smiled, he was the one that had his agent's leak the information about Kira to Azeral and the results were as he wanted. Patrick had his weapon back and Kira was perfect on every mission since, except his recent one. Patrick saw a worse situation as Lacus was having an even stronger effect on him, and he had to get rid of her.

Present main floor

Kira finished his remembrance and had to finish this, he had about thirty minutes before the speech so he would have to get back to the main floor and wait it out. Kira walked out of the west wing as the guards remembered him and he went down to the floor, all he had to do was wait it out and prepare for the speech.

To be continued…
