Chapter Twenty Two

Impossible

Plant Streets

Lacus was glad they were out, but as she looked over to Kira she saw his hand still shaking and she saw the look in his eyes as Kira was remembering what he did. He didn't know it was Nicol, he just fired, what was he supposed to do. Lacus reached over and placed her one hand on his shaking hand as she saw the hurt in his eyes. Kira didn't look at her he just kept driving; he was heading straight for the secret facility, trying to keep his head on straight.

Kira was still trying to process what just happened in his mind, for the first time ever while in a combat situation he was careless. Though if that would have been someone else, Lacus would without a doubt be dead. Kira desperately battled the thoughts in his head as Lacus watched him carefully. Lacus somehow knew that Kira knew that man he shot, and she had to say something, she couldn't leave him in that train of thought, she was there for him and she wanted to ease the pain he was obviously feeling.

Lacus never took her hand off of his as he continued to drive through the streets, "Kira…" Lacus said.

Kira was still too deep in thought.

"Kira…look at me," Lacus said as she removed her hand from his and placed it on his cheek.

Kira broke out of his chain of thought and glanced over at her, "We should be there in a little while," Kira said while changing the subject.

Lacus looked at him, "Please tell me Kira…did you know that man?" Lacus asked.

Kira turned his eyes back to the road, "Yes I knew him, but such is a soldiers life…people come and go, I have been trained to ignore the death of…it is over and there is nothing more to talk about, once we get to the facility…" Kira said as Lacus cut him off.

"Don't shut me out Kira, I know you well enough to see the hurt in your eyes…please don't pull the soldier act with me…that is not who you really are," Lacus told him as it hurt her to see him shut down like that.

"That is who I am Lacus, I am the ultimate coordinator, I do not…" Kira said as Lacus cut him off again.

"Stop lying to me…I cannot stand to see you like this, we are more to each other than that…" Lacus said as a few tears went down her cheek, she knew he wouldn't like speaking about it, but she also knew how he was when he kept things in. What hurt her was to see him shut her out, and return to what Patrick Zala had wanted so badly and that was a ruthless killer that felt no remorse, Lacus knew he did that to try and hide from the hurt he was obviously feeling, but that is not the true Kira that Lacus had seen, the true Kira that she adored, the true Kira that see had grown such feelings for.

Kira was a little stunned about her statement and he knew she was right, at first Kira hesitated, but he freed his free arm and pulled her close to his body as he used his other hand to steer the car. Lacus did resist she leaned into him and then he spoke.

"You are right Lacus…we are more to each other than that," Kira said as Lacus slowly looked up at him.

"I was trained for so long to kill and ignore death that it has become a habit, my hands are stained with more blood than I wish to remember, and what is worse is I actually believed what I was doing was right…" Kira went on as Lacus listened carefully.

"The man I killed was Nicol Amalfi, the youngest member of the Zala squad…and a man that should have never of held a weapon in his hand," Kira told her.

"His father is on the council correct?" Lacus asked as she knew of the Zala squad, but she never really knew the members.

"All the members of the Zala squad have a parent on the council, they are part of Zala's faction that has opposed your father since he was elected chairman, and with what I accomplished Patrick Zala will without a doubt become the new chairman," Kira told her.

Lacus still just listened.

"Nicol however was one that always treated the members of the Zala squad equal, we were five members and we were always split, but Nicol was the one that always tried to bring both sides together," Kira told her.

"This was a terrible tragedy Kira…but this wasn't your fault and it wasn't his, Patrick Zala will without a doubt use anyone to get what he wants and I suspect he will use his death to his advantage," Lacus told him.

Kira looked down at her, "You are right…but it still should have never happened…I cannot think about this anymore…once we get to the facility we will take that mobile suit and head to Mendel, no more will I allow Patrick Zala to have what he wants," Kira said as he sped up and started heading straight for the facility, it was in a difficult place so they would have to use a different way to get in, Kira never stepped foot inside this place so he had to now focus his mind on that.

Lacus understood and she changed the subject to get his mind off of the matters at hand, she didn't blame him or anyone else except Patrick Zala, she didn't like seeing Kira like this, but he was right they had to get off this Plant and then they could talk more about it, Lacus knew that Patrick would not stop pursuing them so they would have to lie low for awhile she trusted Kira with her life and she knew that she could count on him, but he was not just the ultimate coordinator, he was still human and what happened was a terrible mistake, Patrick Zala raised Kira to make him think he was perfect and that was what Lacus thought was giving him the most trouble, Kira most likely learned that now he wasn't perfect and she hoped she could get him over the matter, she wouldn't give up on him and she vowed to remain by his side through whatever trials they will now face they will get through them together.

The car continued moving as Kira watched to see if they were followed and so far he saw nothing. Kira and Lacus kept going, they had to let go of the past and move forward to the future.

Kira's Mansion

Outside the Mansion

Little did they know that Rau heard everything that was going on, and all of the events that took place he couldn't communicate, but he heard every word.

"This will be quite interesting now," Rau said as he made sure to get everything on tape.

Rau knew this would now work to his advantage, and he gave a few orders.

"Get this analyzed and ready for playback, make sure the voice is clear," Rau said as he knew this could be well used for their advantage, and it would most likely help with the Athrun situation.

"Yes sir," Rau's technical team inside the truck said as Rau knew without a doubt they would be escaping.

Rau turned to another soldier, "I am heading in, get a few choppers ready to scan the area…and get our leader on the line for me…though I believe it will not be long before he finds this out," Rau said as he walked out of the truck and started heading for the gate, he was going in.

The soldiers did what they were told and carried out his orders. Rau walked in the gate and headed for the house as he walked in and was heading straight for the fallen Nicol's room, Rau saw the bodies of a few fallen members and knew this was too much for them, but that didn't matter. Rau kept walking until he reached the fallen room, with the rest surrounding it.

Inside the Escape room

Yzak glared at him, "Follow me and find out, lead the way," Yzak said as the soldiers led them to the room; Athrun was confused until they got to Kira's escape room.

They walked in and Athrun was last and what he saw shocked him, there was Nicol dead.

"You still want to be loyal to him," Yzak said.

"He wouldn't, it couldn't have been him," Athrun said as he was in shock, lying there was the fallen body of Nicol.

Athrun bent down and checked the body, only to find that he was gone, Athrun could believe it, there had to be another explanation, Kira would never shoot Nicol, he wouldn't have.

Yzak looked down at him, "One of our own has fallen to the likes of him, yet you still don't believe it…" Yzak nearly shouted at him.

Athrun glared up at him, "You never cared about Nicol…just keep your mouth shut for once," Athrun fired back as he didn't want to hear it now.

Athrun quickly looked at the other two soldiers, "You two, what happened here? You were the ones that found him right?" Athrun asked.

"Isn't it obvious," Yzak said.

"Was I talking to you," Athrun told him.

Yzak only shook his head he was disgusted with Athrun.

Athrun then turned his gaze back over to the soldiers.

"We didn't see anything sir, as we entered the doorway that was when the lights came on, but I did see two figures leaving out the window that was all…it was blurry," the soldier said.

Athrun couldn't believe his ears, how could Kira do this…there had to be another explanation.

"Something is not right…I know he wouldn't do this," Athrun said as Yzak was about to speak but that was when Rau entered the room…

"I'm afraid it is true Athrun," Rau said as he walked up to them.

All turned their gazes towards him as they saluted, but Athrun was still knelt beside Nicol.

Rau walked up and looked down at Nicol's body, "Things will surly heat up now," Rau said as he looked at Athrun.

Athrun looked straight at Rau, "What is true sir?" Athrun had to know.

Rau slightly smiled, "The target Kira did shoot him to his death," Rau said as Athrun couldn't believe his ears.

Athrun would not listen to his commander, something else had to go wrong, and Rau noticed that he didn't seem to take the news to seriously, but Rau had other means of convincing him.

Yzak and Dearka watched as Athrun wouldn't listen to reason, "You really get on my nerves Zala, but no matter go soft on him that way we will be rid of you as well, you two were always the weak link of our team anyway," Yzak told him as Athrun stood straight back up in a rage as he was sick of Yzak's mouth. Yzak was going to respond when Dearka had to take hold of him and the other two soldiers had to keep Athrun restrained, these two wanted at each other badly.

Athrun wouldn't stand for Yzak's disrespect of Nicol and he was really tired of hearing him boast about how he would always be better, when he himself had never even come close to beating Kira in any kind of fight.

Rau watched with interest and it did quite entertain him, but he knew he had to get order here and he wanted to be back in time for when he got the call from the leader.

"Alright that's enough," Rau said in a very demanding voice.

The others stopped as they never heard that tone from the commander before.

Rau looked at them, "What is done is done, we lost a member today and now we are only three," Rau said as he looked at Athrun, "Your friend was the one that shot Nicol dead and if you need to see it with your own eyes then head down to the truck," Rau told him as Athrun didn't respond.

Rau then looked at Yzak, "As for you, I suggest you produce more results before you boast of your actions…I am starting to doubt myself if you can handle that position," Rau said as Yzak immediately looked at him.

"I will handle this role far better then the traitor ever did," Yzak replied as he was referring to Kira.

Rau smiled, he had to get this team back in order or things will start looking suspicious. The Plants knew of this team as one that fulfilled the most impossible of tasks and wouldn't be beat in anything, but that was mostly because of Kira. If the public got a look at how they quarreled then that could be a problem.

Rau now gave out his instructions, "Zala team will report back down to the truck…you two will secure the body of Nicol in which we will take back with us," Rau told the soldiers.

"Yes sir," All said as the two soldiers started gathering up the body as Yzak and Dearka left first and Athrun soon followed but not before Rau stopped him.

"I suggest you keep your head on straight Athrun, I heard the tape and all he cares about is that girl, his mind is far to poisoned by her nonsense for him to show any mercy…I suggest you start treating him as an enemy, or it will cost you your life," Rau told him as he walked out of the room.

Athrun listened to his words, but he had to see that footage first, his mind was being torn and it was getting to the point where he didn't know what to believe, Athrun had to see that footage so he shortly followed after Rau.

Somewhere on Earth

In a very desolate place a man was sitting at his desk going over the recent events that have taken place. With Azeral gone he knew this was his chance to take total control over the Earth Alliance, which would give him the tools he needed to wipe out the Plants and all coordinators. Azeral came to him and he refused as Azeral wasn't cunning enough to get the job done and he died like the man always thought he would.

After the Azeral assassination he sent his men to take a look around and ever since then he has been watching carefully of the events. Most no names were trying to become the next leader of the alliance but that was all they were no names that were all talk and no action, they were worse than Azeral.

The man studied all of what he had on the recent base explosion at Panama, the assassination of Azeral, the attempted assassination of the Orb leader Uzumi; he was able to get that sort of information. He knew it was almost time to make himself appear. He was deep in thought when one of his men entered the room.

"Sir, everything is handled," the soldier said as he saluted.

The man smiled, "Perfect, just make sure you escort them once they arrive…but make sure that you don't let them know the location."

"Yes sir," the man said as he left the room.

"George Allster and William Sutherland, you two will work as my pawns until I am fully in control…I will also get to test what Azeral screwed up to fully complete, my tools will be far better than his," this man said as he returned to looking at the papers, and all he needed know was a way to go into the full publics eye, then he would gain control over earth, and if he had to use fools like Allster and Sutherland then so be it.

Zala Plant

Patrick's Office

Patrick wasn't fully aware of the events that were happening as he had full trust in Rau. Patrick was at his desk when he got the call from the soldier that Rau ordered to contact him.

The soldier gave the leader the small details and it was clear that Patrick wasn't very happy, and all he wanted now was it get Rau on the phone.

Patrick was told he was in the house looking over the situation so Patrick was on hold, and all he could think of was what he had to do now, his ultimate weapon was now becoming the ultimate nuisance.

Patrick was not at all pleased with what he heard and his anger easily told the story.

Patrick was waiting for a little while and finally Rau got on the phone.

Outside Kira's Mansion

The soldiers did what they were told and they brought Nicol's body out and placed it on one of the trucks.

Yzak and Dearka were standing by near the main truck and soon Rau appeared, the soldier held the phone and walked straight over to Rau.

Athrun shortly appeared after that and he had only one thing on his mind and that was the footage of what they had. Athrun walked straight into the main command truck where he would get what he needed to see.

Rau walked over and saw that the man held the phone, "The leader sir…he isn't very happy," the soldier said.

Rau knew that, but he took the phone, "Yes sir," Rau said.

"I hear you failed me!" Patrick screamed through the phone.

"Correct sir…he had this place well secured, we lost many in attempting to get in the house…and from what I gather he himself took out the rest," Rau replied.

"What about the girl?" Patrick asked.

"She is still with him sir…my total count for teams that were sent in are five, the rest were slaughtered," Rau told him.

"That doesn't concern my Le Crueset…" Patrick told him.

"We lost Amalfi sir, he shot him dead," Rau had to report.

Patrick heard that and he did stop talking, but it wasn't out of concern, it was something else. "He was the weakest one so that doesn't really matter…in fact this will work well for me, recover the body I have an idea," Patrick said.

Rau smiled, "Already done sir…I have called choppers to scout the area, I don't think they have gone to far yet," Rau told him.

"I will close down all shuttle bays and lock down our military bases…they are trapped on this Plant, I will make sure they don't escape and take whatever force you need and search everything…I don't care what you have to do just find them," Patrick told him.

"I will take care of it sir," Rau replied.

"Before that, return to the base with Amalfi's body and the Zala squad, I will brief them myself on the future," Patrick told him.

"One more thing sir…about your son," Rau said.

Patrick cringed, "How is he taking the news?"

"I have secured footage sir, it was dark so visual won't be of much help even with the night vision, but the audio worked fine…I believe that will change his mind," Rau told him.

Patrick smiled on the other end, "Very good, but no matter I will talk with him myself…the election is days away so we will have to stay quiet for a little while…I am not pleased about this failure Le Crueset, so do not do it again…" Patrick said as he hung up the phone.

Rau smiled as he placed his phone down and started heading for his command truck.

"What do we do now sir?" Yzak asked as they were awaiting orders.

"The leader has ordered me to start the search for him," Rau said.

"Excellent commander, I will go with you, I will finish him once and for all," Yzak replied.

Rau looked at him, "No, the leader wants the Zala unit back at base and their will be no exceptions…and like I knew he is not pleased so do not cross his orders," Rau said as he went inside.

Yzak knew Rau was right and if he wanted to keep his position then he would have to obey, Yzak and Dearka wasted no time as they got on the other truck and waited to be taken back.

Rau knew he now had to go and check on Athrun and like he knew he was inside watching what they could on the footage.

Command Truck

As soon as Athrun walk in the technical team inside had the video all set up as per Rau's orders. Athrun walked straight up to them.

"Let me see the footage," Athrun said in a demanding tone.

The team wasted no time and put the tape in the main monitor while they pressed the play button.

Athrun could tell it came from Nicol's camera and right now it was very dark, with the night vision activated Athrun saw a little better, Athrun watched as Nicol saw all the fallen bodies Kira took care of sooner.

Athrun saw nothing for a few minutes until they heard a few noised and then Nicol approached that fateful room.

Athrun watched as Nicol entered the doorframe and that was when he saw Kira and a woman that was Lacus walking towards him, it was very difficult to see but Athrun could definitely tell that was Kira.

It was then that Athrun heard Nicol try to speak but he didn't get the chance as Athrun watched Kira do something and then the flash from the gun made it harder to see but when the flash died down, all Athrun could see was that Kira was on his knee with Lacus in one arm and his gun was pointing straight at Nicol.

The next thing Athrun saw was Nicol falling to the ground, Athrun couldn't believe it, but what happened next surprised him, he couldn't see Kira anymore because Nicol was on his back but he definitely heard Kira speak those words and what he heard shocked him.

"No one will harm her, I don't care who you are, or who sent you, you dare to fire at her like a coward and now you paid the price, nothing or no one will stop me in keeping her alive," was the exact words Athrun heard and it was then that Rau entered the command truck.

Athrun couldn't believe it and then the tape went dead as the lights were turned on and the technicians made sure not to show anymore.

Rau smiled as he saw that and the look on Athrun's face was that of pure shock.

"Now you see the truth Athrun, all that matters to him is that girl, you me and the rest of your fathers faction will suffer the same fate if we don't stop him.," Rau told him.

Athrun didn't say a word he was trapped in his thoughts.

"Your father ordered me to pursue him, and he has ordered you back to base, take my words very seriously…he must be destroyed," Rau said as he left the truck and headed back over to the other one shortly later giving the order to withdrawal.

Athrun stayed in the command truck just looking at the tape, he couldn't watch it anymore, and he didn't know what to do anymore, did he really have to kill his own friend the man that was like his brother, why did he sound that way when speaking to a struggling Nicol, in which Kira didn't know it was Nicol at the time, Athrun placed his hands on his head as now he had a very difficult decision to make.

Patrick's office

After Patrick hung the phone up he was beyond furious, but what was done was done, Patrick knew he had to get these two before they were to leave the Plant, but he had their heads all over the media, and with the death of Amalfi's son, he believed that those still loyal to Lacus Clyne and her father would finally turn. Patrick now gave out all orders around the Plant to completely lock it down.

Patrick gave the order and it wasn't long before all facilities of transportation were doubled in security and he hoped that would lead to their capture or death, Patrick gambled on the shuttles and didn't even think about his top secret base, but that place was always heavily secured so Patrick focused on the other matters.

Patrick sat back down and knew that either way his world was close to becoming complete, but that didn't stop that speck of worry that his ultimate weapon Kira would become his ultimate demise so he wanted them gone and right now.

Zala Plant-Main City

Kira and Lacus continued to drive along until they were in the main part of the city; Lacus was a little confused as she thought they were going to the military base.

Lacus noticed that Kira did calm down some and she was glad for that, "Where are we going Kira?" Lacus asked as she looked out the window, "I thought we were heading to that base," Lacus said.

Kira slightly smiled, "We are, and we are almost at the point of entry."

Lacus turned to look at him, "We are in the middle of the city."

Kira looked at her, "Precisely, Zala made it that way on purpose, the base is hidden right under everyone's noses," Kira told her.

Lacus was surprised but nothing with Patrick Zala surprised her anymore.

Kira and Lacus continued to drive along until they got to the exit of the city and Kira turned down a road that lead to a pretty bad neighbor hood, and then Kira stopped right in front of what looked like a club.

Lacus looked at the place, "How can it be here?"

Kira smiled at her, "This is only the entrance Lacus, the base is further below, but this is our entrance…it may look like a club to you but in fact I bet the place empty…in fact it is probably one of those private places no one can get into…which means that whoever is guarding the door is one of Zala's agents and posing as a bouncer."

"How will we get in?" Lacus asked.

Kira smiled, "Through the front door," Kira told her.

Lacus looked at him very quickly; she thought that Nicol's death made him lose his sanity.

Kira smiled at her reaction, "Trust me," Kira told her.

Lacus then smiled, "I do trust you Kira,"

Kira slightly smiled as he reached over and cupped her chin as he leaned over kissing her softly, Lacus blushed at the action but she responded by wrapping her arm around his neck deepening the kiss, it grew a little more fierce and after a good three minutes they finally parted from the kiss.

Lacus was glad he was showing this much emotion to her, she knew he was still hurting over Nicol's death; however he wasn't shutting her out anymore.

"Let's go," Kira said as he pulled the car out of sight and stopped it further down the street. Kira knew that the place had to be heavily watched with security equipment, probably a system he designed so he was going to take care of that.

They stopped the car and got out. Kira was amazed at what Zala did here, but he knew there was going to be heavy security once they got down so he had to make sure one last time of his equipment.

Lacus joined Kira on the drivers side as they looked at the surroundings, it was a fairly lighted street, just like a normal street, Patrick has this place camouflaged up very well. There were a few buildings separating them at the moment from the club and Kira took notice only to one guard posing as a bouncer, but like he predicated no one was going in or out, as all were always turned away saying they had to be a member.

Kira looked around knowing all to well he had to bring the security for the place down, he couldn't be spotted before they got into the base so Kira had to get a better look at this building.

Kira saw that all of his equipment was still in tact and he was out of a little ammo, but that should be enough for now, Kira then decided his course of action.

Kira looked at Lacus, "Let's go," Kira said as Lacus nodded her head and she followed him.

They crossed the street, but didn't head for the club; they walked towards the next street over and started making their way down there. Kira was glad that no people were out at the moment as it was still night and most wouldn't be around this club. Kira got the back of the club and saw that all the windows and things were removed, the only way in was through the front door and that was just the entrance to get to the entrance of the base which was located underneath the street.

Lacus stayed close to him as Kira was looking around, they started moving again and that was when Kira saw what he wanted as it was the main control panel that was fenced off and camouflaged to look like a shed of sorts, but Kira knew other wise.

Kira now had to make his move as Lacus took his hand and they made their way towards this shed which looked a little to maintained, and Kira knew all about this little trick as it was one he saw before.

"Whatever you do, don't touch it," Kira told her.

Lacus nodded to him, "Alright."

Kira stopped and looked around as he swung his UMP over his shoulder and looked at the supposed shed door.

"This is the trap," Kira said as he looked at the boards.

Lacus looked a little confused.

Kira looked at all the boards carefully and then he saw the one that was out of place just a little, "Found it," Kira said.

Lacus watched as he pushed that board in and the door opened.

"It was a trap, if I touched the wrong board the alarm would have went off, one of my earlier designs," Kira said as he walked into the shed and saw a small computer terminal.

Kira smiled, "With this we should be able to bring the security down, but that will only assure that we get in here…once at the base it will be much tougher."

Lacus followed Kira in and Kira immediately went to work, the security on the computer was tight but with his abilities he was easily able to override it, Kira thought that this sort of club thing was very strange even for Patrick Zala and all seemed like it was a little off, but Kira had to get those thoughts out of his mind.

Kira finished and he completely overridden the system and now knew they could get inside but what was in there he didn't know.

Kira smiled at Lacus as she returned it and they made their way out and then around to the corner of the club where the guard acting as the bouncer was stationed. Kira looked up and saw the security cameras, but smiled as they were deactivated, by his little stunt.

Kira then saw the bouncer up front.

Kira looked at him and then back at Lacus, "Wait here," Kira told her softly.

Lacus nodded to him, "Be careful," Lacus said with a touch of worry.

Kira smiled at her as he removed his knife. From this angle the guard was pacing back and forth while moving his eyes all over the place. Kira knew that he would be spotted, so he would have to make a quick reaction, and since Kira knew he had to save his ammo for the true base he was going to use his knife.

Kira quickly but silently moved towards him as he moved the knife upward in his hand in a throwing formation. Kira kept his eyes on that guard and as soon as the guard turned he caught sight of Kira and tried to reach for something but it was pointless.

As soon as the man turned Kira threw the knife with tremendous force that it pierced the man right between the eyes. The guard immediately fell to the ground as Kira looked around and saw no one.

Kira walked up to the fallen man and picked his body up slightly as he turned around and motioned Lacus to come. Kira hated killing in front of her, but he had no choice here. Lacus did understand, it wasn't something she liked seeing him do, but the times were necessary.

Lacus got beside him as Kira now approached the front door, he slid the mans body out of sight next to the door and then Kira removed his Socom as he was about to head into the front door. Lacus got behind him as she was glad that she kept the bag she had on her, it had the gun that Kira gave her, but she was hoping that she would never have to use it.

Kira knew he dismantled all of the security for the outside so the door should open with no problems. Kira remembered the files he hacked into earlier and he knew that once inside they had to head towards the back but at the moment he didn't know if the place was empty or not, from the files Kira saw they had a supplies just transferred here so their could still be a few people.

Kira slowly opened the door and pointed his gun in his defensive stance as Lacus followed behind him.

Inside the First Entrance

Kira immediately walked in with Lacus following and he moved his gun around in all directions while trying to stay quiet, but he found out that it was completely empty. They looked around and saw that it looked like a normal club, but from the files Kira read he knew that there was something towards the back that would lead them down. This facility was fairly new and Kira knew that Patrick spent a lot of time and money making sure that it would be hidden from any of the military personal that would come to this Plant, they would make sure that it stayed hidden and only those placed in this base and a few higher ups loyal to Patrick knew about this place.

Kira walked in and headed straight for the back, Lacus followed him and it amazed her that this was actually some sort of entrance.

Kira walked towards the back until he found a control panel that he was looking for, Kira smiled and went to work on that as Lacus watched him.

"I thought it would be more guarded than this," Lacus said.

Kira slightly smiled, "The facility is guarded Lacus, this is only the entrance leading to the entrance…on the opposite wall is a path that will lead us to an elevator, but in term the whole front floor is another elevator for supply transfers and such…we need to use the small one, they just delivered supplies not to long ago so I take it they will still be loading them in to the facility."

It was hard to take in, Patrick Zala did all this just so he could have his war, and create his world, it really sickened her.

Kira was easily able to get into the systems and not long after that the wall shifted and they saw the elevator. Kira smiled as he holstered his Socom and stood up.

"Now it will truly begin, this will not be easy and almost impossible…but we have no choice," Kira said as he held out his hand.

Lacus smiled and took his hand, "Like I told you I will remain by your side, I trust you," Lacus told him as Kira smiled and they made their way towards the elevator.

They got in and Kira pressed the button and it closed the doors as it began heading down. They had absolutely no clue what was going to happen when it landed, they could be ambushed right their, but they also had no choice. Kira removed his UMP from his back and got ready just in case. Kira moved Lacus to the side where she would be out of the line of fire at least a little.

Lacus was worried and Kira was ready, it felt like they were going down for an eternity but finally the door stopped. Kira removed the safety and got on one knee and as the doors opened he was ready only to find nothing.

Kira and Lacus both sighed as Kira knew they were probably loading the supplies. Kira moved out and all he saw was a very long silver hallway that was very tall but it went only a little ways before it lead to a dead end and then a turn in which Kira remembered from the maps as being the front of the base.

Kira and Lacus slowly moved out until they reached that crossing and they stayed close to the wall. Both slowly turned around as their eyes got a little big. It was an enormous open space and it looked like a giant military base. Kira knew from the maps and as he looked around he saw the heavy security around the front door and patrolling the grounds.

Kira had to admit that even though it was practically impossible to find this place, if you did you wouldn't get in. Kira however thought that maybe Patrick might have stepped up security since by now he had to know that his men failed at his mansion.

Kira knew this was going to be hard, but with them still moving in supplies, Kira knew he might be able to sneak in; this was also another reason that Kira chose this place. He didn't want to leave this early and he was actually going to wait for the next supply drop to come here, but the attack left him no time and they had to go today.

Kira watched and waited and he knew they couldn't stay here to long so they would have to make a move soon. Kira knew that once inside the security would be even tighter, Kira saw one chance that he could take to get in and before putting it into motion he turned to Lacus.

"Stay right behind me, we only have one chance at this," Kira told her as Lacus slightly smiled.

Lacus placed her hand on his cheek as she inched closer placing her lips to his, Kira returned her kiss and a few seconds later they parted from it.
