Chapter Twenty Four

Launch

Main Room

Kira and Lacus could waste no time as they walked towards the back to the sealed door.

"Is that it?" Lacus asked.

Kira smiled, "Yes it is, and we have no time to waste," Kira said with a small smile.

Lacus smiled back at him as she reached up and gently pulled his head towards hers as she gently kissed him, Kira responded as their kiss lasted about a minute.

After that Lacus looked into his eyes, "Like I said before we will face it together."

Kira smiled as he did a few things to the terminal and the next thing they knew the door opened leading straight into the hanger.

Holding Room

As soon as the main door opened it lead into a smaller room that was used for security checks. Kira was ready for any action but once again the place was empty, and that was very odd.

This room was about the size of the main control room and it had two doors, one that lead into the main hanger and the other leading to an employee room. This room also had a large window that was only one sided, you could see through it on this side but you couldn't on the other side, it was for security purposes. There were a few computer terminals and several security checks, there was scanning equipment and a metal detector by the door leading into the main hanger, but with no one here it was all useless. Kira and Lacus walked in and over to that window where they looked out.

As soon as they looked out they found several people working on several of the mobile suits that were in the hangers. Kira looked at these suits closely and could tell that he didn't recognize any of them. The main ones he wanted were in another part of the hanger in their own dock, so these must have been created by the leader with no knowledge to Kira.

Kira could tell immediately that they were far more superior then the standard Ginn, and since all were alike this must be the new standardized suit they were going to use when the leader declared his war. Kira immediately stopped examining the suits he was looking at through the window and now was focusing on how to get to the other hanger which was located through all of this.

Their were to many people to count and since all were in the hanger they must be planning on doing something, but from what Kira could tell all of the suits he looked at were still inoperative, so it had to be something else.

"My father never said anything about new mobile suits," Lacus told him as she would have heard something about it.

Kira looked at her, "Likely because these are not on the record, Zala likely built these along with the others keeping everything in the dark."

"How could he? All of the capitol it most have taken, it would be practically impossible to hide all of this," Lacus replied as she was really getting sick of the sight of this, Patrick would do whatever he could for a war.

Kira returned to looking out a window, "Don't underestimate Zala's determination…he controls most of the defensive budget and he has several council members loyal to him to make sure all of this remains undetected, I myself didn't know about these other suits…but I am not surprised."

Lacus looked back out the window and it was as if everything she and her father were trying to do the past few years was worthless, if Patrick would just do all of this to have a war everything they accomplished would be destroyed.

Kira could tell something was bothering her, as he placed a hand on her shoulder, "It is still not over yet…now we cannot stay here for to long and I have an idea," Kira told her as Lacus looked at him.

"I understand Kira," Lacus replied as Kira started walking over towards the other door, Lacus followed and Kira opened the door, while checking around. Kira found that this room was exactly what he thought it was and this would help in their escape.

Lacus walked in and found that there were several mechanic outfits along with a few others. She looked over and saw that Kira seemed pleased for something.

Kira smiled, "Good just as I thought," Kira said as he looked at Lacus, "I need you to put one of these on," Kira told her.

Lacus looked at him, "What about you?" Lacus asked as she had a feeling she knew of Kira's plan.

Kira smiled at her, "If we take the equipment dressed like that they will easily see through us, I will take your bag with mine and make my way through the hanger and meet you towards the back."

Lacus' eyes went big that was suicide, "You cannot make it through all of these people Kira they will see through you…and I don't want to lose you…" Lacus said as she panicked a little their, what Kira wanted to do was practically impossible.

Kira walked over and took her in his arms, "I have done this several times Lacus, yes it is a little harder, but I can easily move around…from what I gather they don't even know about a alert yet and from what I see they are trying to rush around so this will work to our advantage…I will be alright."

Lacus rested her head on his chest, she knew she had to believe and trust in him, "…alright then, what do I have to do?" Lacus asked.

Kira knew that her part wasn't going to be simple either but with his observation on how everyone was acting they shouldn't really pay attention to anything but their own work.

"First you will dress in this suit," Kira said as he pulled out a mechanic's suit that was a little too large for her but that was what he wanted.

Lacus took the suit.

"Next you will walk out ahead of me when I give the signal and just head straight for the back, avoid direct eye contact and keep your eyes focused on this," Kira told her as he handed her a clipboard, "That should make it look like your doing an inventory."

Lacus took that as she was a little nervous, but this was something that had to be done, Kira knew he wouldn't be able to make it through if he had to evade all of these people and keep Lacus safe at the same time so this way she would be able to walk straight through with no problems, he hoped.

"Lastly you will have to put your hair up and keep it hidden so here," Kira said as he handed her a hat, he knew it wouldn't be able to conceal all her hair but it was better than nothing, but Kira handed her something else to.

Lacus took the hat and a pair of glasses from Kira, Kira found them in the room and that should keep her appearance from standing out to much.

Lacus then wasted no time and started putting the mechanics suit over her clothes and it was big enough not to interfere but not big enough to cause suspicion. Kira kept watch at the door looking at the other door just in case that someone came in, but he was more worried about the main room back their where he locked all of those guards out, Kira just hoped that his security measures would hold up until they were gone.

Lacus finished that and put her hair up as she covered it with the hat, lastly she put the glasses on and she felt very different.

"That should do it," Lacus said as Kira turned around.

Kira could tell that she didn't look like Lacus Clyne at all, but he could tell it was her, he just hoped that others wouldn't be able to.

Lacus frowned, "Why are you staring at me?"

Kira looked straight at her, "You just look different…I think you will pull this off," Kira told her as Lacus didn't by it.

"Kira," Lacus said suspiciously.

Kira smiled, "If only I had a camera," Kira said as Lacus playfully hit him in the arm causing Kira to laugh a little, she always had this affect on him, he was changing while he was around her, he was becoming who he truly was and Lacus knew that, she just hoped it would remain like that, but all of this would have to wait.

"Let's finish this later, we have to go," Kira said as Lacus agreed and they walked out of the door heading towards the main door leading to the hanger.

Lacus stopped at the door as Kira looked out the window, and then to her, "Remember Lacus, just walk normal pace down the main isle and then turn to your right, it will lead you to the main door to the other hanger, their should be several tools and equipment benches on the other side so if I am not their yet act like your taking an inventory and just stay quiet."

Lacus looked at him worriedly, "How are you going to do this Kira?" Lacus asked concerned.

Kira smiled, "The same way I always do…don't worry I will be fine, if everything goes the way I want it you will never be out of my sight."

Lacus smiled as she and Kira leaned forward kissing each other gently, it grew a little fiercer and after a few minutes they parted from it.

Kira now had his bag and hers so he swung them both on his back along with his UMP, Kira removed his Socom and screwed the silencer on, and this was just in case.

"Are you ready?" Kira asked.

Lacus slightly smiled, "Yes."

Kira returned her smile as he looked out the window as Lacus clutched the clipboard she was given. Kira waited for the perfect moment and when it was slightly clear that was it.

"Alright let's go," Kira said as he opened the door and Lacus walked out with Kira following her.

Clyne Plant

Siegel however had never given up the search for his daughter and Andrew was still helping him, Siegel knew that in the polls he was dropping even further to Patrick, but he didn't care, finding her was his main concern. Siegel was still in shock that his daughter was named a traitor and he didn't believe any of the evidence that was shown when Patrick accused her.

Siegel also had Eileen helping him and so far they had come up with nothing, Siegel was also aware that the people of Plants were now confused and some were struggling on what to believe about Lacus, but from the looks she was dropping in popularity so they couldn't rely on outside assistance it had to be just the three of them and with his closest ally on earth. Uzumi was looking around Orb hoping that Lacus would come their but there was no news.

Siegel had the loyal Clyne faction members searching all Plants secretly but there was one that they couldn't get on, and that was the one run by Patrick Zala.

Siegel was in his mansion very stress out but he was still keeping in touch with the teams hoping that one would come across her. Siegel was overlooking several documents that were made official about Lacus, and he was trying to figure out just what was going on. The documents were fabricated by Patrick so he was doing most of that for nothing.

Siegel was looking over these when he got a call.

"Clyne here," Siegel said as he pushed the button for the speaker phone.

"Waltfeld sir," Andrew said.

Siegel looked at the phone, "Did you find her?" Siegel said hopeful.

Andrew frowned, "I'm sorry sir, we found nothing…we have checked all Plants but from what I gather the Zala Plant is on lockdown and they aren't letting any ships leave or dock."

"Zala is up to something…my daughter might be there if he is going to all of that trouble," Siegel replied.

"It's very possible sir…but what I am calling for is about the man that is with your daughter," Andrew said.

Siegel remembered him and from what he knew that man was his daughter's only hope now, "Go ahead."

"I ran his image of what was released through the data base, it was a proper image but it was good enough and I came up with nothing," Andrew said.

That was news; all of the Plant's citizens have a visual id and registration.

"You're saying he doesn't exist on file?" Siegel said.

Andrew smiled, "Precisely sir, I can tell you that he is without a doubt a coordinator…so either he wasn't born here or…" Andrew paused.

"Go on," Siegel replied.

"This is speculation sir, but from what I have seen I think we might have found the ultimate coordinator," Andrew said as he couldn't get that out of his head.

Siegel was hesitant at first, "Whatever the case however he is my daughter must trust him or he has her against her will."

"I don't think she is a hostage of his sir, from what I can tell her being with him is the best course of action she could take at the moment…I am bringing this up only because she in my opinion is in very good hands…something is going on sir and I know Zala is behind it," Andrew replied.

"I believe so to…but right now all I want to do is find my daughter before Patrick does," Siegel said.

Andrew smiled, "I have a few of my guys monitoring the Zala Plant sir…if anything leaves we will track it."

Siegel smiled, "Is that all we could do now?"

"Unfortunately sir it is…you cannot override Zala since the matter concerns your daughter and the council already voted to make sure everything on the matter his under his command," Andrew told him.

Siegel knew that was true, "Get back to me if you find anything…and send me all the data you have on his man she is with…I want to look at it myself."

Andrew smiled, "Right away sir…I will hopefully give you great news next time," Andrew said as he hung up and ordered all data to be sent to Siegel.

Siegel hung up as he looked at a picture of Lacus and her mother on his desk, he wasn't going to lose his whole family and if this man really was the ultimate coordinator then he hoped he was the man Andrew thought he was.

Secret Base-Hanger

As soon as the door opened leading to the hanger Kira made sure to stay out of sight as Lacus made her way out. Kira knew that the area was clear but he was timing the movements of the few guards that they had. From what he could see as Lacus walk out most of the people were engineers, and other staff focused on the mobile suits, but they did have their share of armed guards.

The guards were mostly in in same spots as few were patrolling, Kira knew he would be clear for the first few yards but then he had to move through without being seen, he saw several things he could use for cover, but he wondered just how long he could go without being seen. Kira had a small little plan ready just in case he was spotted, but he believed he should be able to pull it off.

This hanger was fairly tightened together as there were many ways to move around, but the guards were also placed in different positions mostly around the intersections and all corners, from what Kira could see they were in a definite rush so that must meant that Patrick wasn't going to waste anytime as soon as he got the word of his victory in the election only a few days away.

Kira didn't have to worry about the staff, they would be easy to take down without using lethal force, but if a guard were to spot him then he would rely on an old fashion trick and that was firing an un-silenced round in the air causing the staff and workers to panic that would make his escape a little easier, but he wanted to get this down without being noticed and now he had to be on full alert.

Lacus got a little ways out as she noticed that Kira was now starting to follow her. Lacus held the clipboard like Kira told her to and she was a little nervous that he was behind her in no disguise; she was worried that they would see him. Lacus looked at all the staff that seemed to be rushing around and when she got towards the main isle she glanced back only to find that Kira was gone. Lacus slightly smiled as she hoped that he would be alright.

As soon as Kira followed her out he was worried someone would see through her, but they were all so busy that it was only a slight chance from his opinion. Kira watched as she approached the main isle that was surrounded by the mobile suits and now he would have to believe she would be able to handle this. Kira wanted to make sure he could see her at all times so he was going to use that as his timer for moving around. As they approached the main isle Kira saw his first move and that was towards the back of the first mobile suit station their. The hanger holding the mobile suit was opened in the back and Kira didn't see any workers their and since they were approaching the isle Kira used his speed to silently move towards that opening as he took a quick look at Lacus before disappearing into the shadow of the new suit.

With Lacus

As soon as Kira was gone she now had to focus on her part. As soon as she was at the main isle Lacus turned on to the main isle looking in front of her avoiding eye contact like Kira said while glancing down at her clipboard every now and then.

Lacus also took notice to the new suits and they were completely different from what she had ever seen. As she got further down the staff wasn't taking any notice to her yet, and she hoped it would stay that way. On the other side she saw what looked like a few different models from the other side, she knew they would have to make sure these never saw any action, and the only way to do that was stop Patrick Zala.

Lacus also took notice to the guards but they were not paying any attention to her yet. Lacus kept low and when she saw the turn she had to make she turned to the right just like Kira had told her to.

Lacus was also trying to see if she could see Kira anywhere, but she didn't, however since nobody seemed to be acting any different she knew he still had to be alright. Lacus kept walking and she saw that the security was starting to get a little heavier but they weren't paying any attention to her. Lacus kept walking at a normal pace until she saw what she was looking for and it was a large door that had a big classified and private written all over it. Lacus smiled as she made it here with no trouble but now she had to wait for Kira. Lacus immediately looked around to find the tool and equipment storage and she did by the opposite end near the door.

Lacus smiled as she walked over to it and began acting like she was taking an inventory; she just hoped that Kira would hurry up. Lacus was glad she made it alright, but someone took notice of her.

This person then approached her.

Lacus was doing what she was told and she then could feel someone approaching her from behind and that could have been Kira as that was open ground.

"Excuse me Ms…what are you doing?" this person asked as Lacus felt her heart stop.

With Kira

As soon as Kira got behind this new suit he stopped with his back up against it, from his observation all of the hangers connected like this so he could probably make his way through here, but he knew he would likely run into trouble. With a quick glance around the corner Kira was barely able to see Lacus make the turn on to the main isle and he knew he had to go.

This mobile suit was clear so Kira quickly moved towards the other leg and then to the side of the hanger glancing over at Lacus and then to the next hanger, and unfortunately for him it was occupied by a mechanic working on the mobile suit. With another quick glance at Lacus she was getting a little to far away, Kira then looked and waited as the mechanic was right behind the leg so Kira decided to make his move.

Kira had his eyes on that mechanic and as soon as his back was turned Kira swiftly moved up behind him, the mechanic didn't even know what hit him as Kira wrapped his arms around him in a choke hold. The mechanic dropped the tool he was holding as Kira stuck his foot out connecting with the tool to lessen the noise. The mechanic struggled and Kira cut off enough air that the man slipped unconscious but still alive. As soon as he was out Kira dropped him behind the foot of the mobile suit as now he would have to hurry.

Kira wasted no time as he looked towards the front and saw no one, but when he looked for Lacus she was out of his sight, Kira cursed as he moved towards the next hanger and the next mobile suit, like the last one they were working on it, but they were towards the front so Kira decided to watch their movements and as soon as he was ready he went for it swiftly and silently crossing to each leg of the mobile suit to the sides making sure to stay out of sight.

Kira continued this until it he reached the turn to the right that he told Lacus about, and to his relief he caught up to Lacus, she was a little ahead of him but she was doing well. Kira looked around to get the situation of this hanger and to his dismay there was an armed guard at the corner, the corner he needed to make the turn to the right. Kira was left with no choice as he would have to engage this one.

Kira looked around again and saw no staff so he removed his knife from his forearm slot and then moved towards one leg of the suit. Kira glanced at the man again to see that he was keeping an eye on the isle so he moved towards the other leg, and now he was about twenty feet from him. Kira had to holster his Socom so he had one free arm. With a quick glance Kira made his move.

Kira kept his eyes on the isle mostly and was glad that it was clear so he got up to the side of the wall and stopped as the man was about ten feet from him. Kira crept along side of the wall and with another glance he rushed up and threw his arm around his neck pulling him back as Kira used the knife to stab the man straight in the chest at the same time as pulling him back. Kira dragged his body back a little as he pulled the knife out and dropped the man's dead body, but that was when Kira heard another noise and it was another guard that saw something weird.

The guard turned the corner to see his dead comrade and someone all in black.

The guard snapped out of his trance as he pointed his semiautomatic at Kira but it was too late.

As soon as Kira saw the movement he used his speed and upholstered while he fired his silenced Socom and the bullet struck the man straight between the eyes. It feel instantly as Kira ran up and caught him before he hit the ground, with another look around Kira holstered the Socom while dragging both bodies to a shadowed corner.

Kira dropped both bodies as he returned to the corner and saw that the isles were less crowded but once again he lost Lacus, Kira wasted no time as he turned the right corner and made his way down towards his primary location.

These hangers were a lot busier but with mostly staff. Kira quickly made his way through as he stuck towards the back walls, and if necessary taking down a staff member with non lethal force and Kira was now approaching the location that Lacus was stationed at. Kira wasn't surprised that the last hanger had a guard as he could see the main door now, but Kira would quickly take care of him, but to his surprise the guard starting walking away.

Kira was confused but then he saw what he was walking to as there was Lacus doing what Kira taught her to do. Kira's eyes went big as this could be a big problem. Kira moved in closer and was now didn't care if he was spotted or not, Kira took his Socom again but this time unscrewed the silencer as now he would have to play this number.

With Kira and Lacus

Lacus was doing what she was told and she then could feel someone approaching her from behind and that could have been Kira as that was open ground.

"Excuse me Ms…what are you doing?" this person asked as Lacus felt her heart stop.

Lacus only slightly turned as she avoided eye contact, "I…I am just taking an inventory," Lacus said as she looked back at the tools hoping he would go away.

"Have I…seen you somewhere before?…well no matter, but the inventory was taken an hour ago," the guard told her.

Lacus froze, "I think you may be mistaken…" Lacus said as she didn't know what else to say and she couldn't keep him by her for to long.

The guard was getting very suspicious of her and he moved to the side of her, "No I am not mistaken…but you are," the guard said as he ripped the glasses off her face.

"Just as I suspected, you are the one the leader broadcasted about Lacus Clyne," the guard said as that was his last words as all that was heard no was a gunshot.

Lacus was worried but as soon as she heard the shot she shut her eyes only to open them to find the guard falling to the floor with a bullet in his back, and Lacus smiled as Kira entered full view, but now they had another problem.

The gunshot echoed through the place and others heard.

Kira saw the man talking to Lacus, and when he ripped her glasses off Kira knew that he made her identity so he aimed his un-silenced Socom and fired it at the man in a spot so that if the bullet went through it wouldn't hit Lacus.

Kira didn't stop their as a few nearby guards caught on and Kira fired at them killing them immediately as he rushed up to Lacus.

After the second shot the staff did what Kira thought and that was panic as some were running all over the place and the guards that were rushing were now trapped.

Kira reached Lacus and looked at her, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine," Lacus replied.

Kira took her hand, "We have no time let's go," Kira said as Lacus didn't object as they made their way towards the giant metal door.

Kira knew it took a security clearance so he would have to work his magic, Kira stopped at the id check system, "Stay down," Kira said as Lacus got as low as she could to the ground.

Kira glanced back as the crowd was rushing, but took aim again as a few were about to break through. The bullets connected and killed them immediately. Kira then turned his attention to the system check as he went to work.

Lacus watched as she hoped it wouldn't take too much longer and she kept an eye out as the crowd was starting to demise and more guards were on their way.

"Come on," Kira said as the system was taking a little longer, but it was a system he designed so it was really his fault.

Kira worked for a few seconds more with lighting speed as the door was now confirmed.

Kira smiled as it started opening. Kira then looked down at Lacus, "We have to go," Kira said as Lacus took his hand and they made their way towards the opening and as they did, Kira used the one on the other side to close it, the doors stopped and paused for a second.

"That's not good," Kira said as he went back to the opening and saw several guards now approaching, Kira opened fire striking a few while others went for cover but all he had to do was wait for the door to close.

Lacus stayed out of sight as the door started closing and Kira topped it off with one of his lethal grenades as he threw it through the crack as the door shut. After the door was shut it was sound proof but Kira knew his grenade would slow them down, and then he shoot the controls on this side which would keep them out for awhile.

Kira went back to Lacus as she wrapped her arms around him.

"Were almost out," Kira said as Lacus smiled.

"Never do that to me again," Lacus said jokingly.

Kira smiled as he kissed her forehead, "Let's get out of here," Kira told her as Lacus agreed and they turned around only to find what Kira thought he would never see.

Zala Plant Military Headquarters

It was a quiet drive back for the Zala squad, as Athrun was still in a little shock and disbelief and he didn't know what to do. Rau knew they wasted a lot of time back at the mansion but he had teams searching all over the Plant for them.

As they reached the military base on the Plant he had a call on standby for him as it was the leader from his office, Patrick wasn't to happy.

The Zala team piled out of the trucks as the two remaining ones carried Nicol's body, as Athrun watched but that was when Rau had a soldier rush up to him.

"Commander, the leader is on the line," he said as he handed Rau the phone.

Rau took it, "I am back sir; I received nothing from my teams that are checking the Plant."

Patrick heard that and was angry, "Of course that is because those two are at our underground mobile suit hanger!" Patrick screamed.

"Clever he is attempting to take a suit out of here then," Rau replied.

"I have already sent back up, but I want you there to, I want their heads!" Patrick said.

Rau smiled, "Should I take the Zala squad sir?"

"No…send them up to me, take anything else you need and get their immediately, don't let them get my prized mobile suits!" Patrick said as he hung up the phone.

Rau smiled as he walked over toward the remaining Zala squad members.

Yzak and Dearka knew that with the smile on Rau's face some good news had to come in.

"Commander did they find him?" Yzak asked hoping to see him beat.

Rau looked at him, "We have located him at a Mobile suit facility; however we have yet to capture them yet."

Yzak smiled, "Let me go commander…I will finish them both."

"No, the leader wants all three of you in his office now…I will handle this myself," Rau replied.

"But commander that isn't…" Yzak said as Rau cut him off.

"Need I remind you Yzak that the leader is not very pleased with any of you at the moment, if your not careful you may have to be replaced," Rau said as he knew that would quiet him down, and make him fight harder.

Yzak didn't reply, but he didn't want to be demoted from a position he always wanted and his rival held since they started.

Rau took a notice to Athrun and the rest of the base was starting to see that Nicol was the one that was dropped, and Rau knew that Patrick would have a field day with this; it would really get his cause moving faster.

Rau could tell that Athrun was divided on thoughts for the moment and he hoped that little talk with him would fuel his hatred, but that was all he could do for now, Rau was kind of hoping to see a battle between those two, that would be interesting to watch in his opinion.

Rau was about to say something but a few other vehicles were pulling up which meant that Patrick already assembled a team for him so he gave his final orders.

"I have to be going, head up to the leaders office where he will give you your instructions, that is all," Rau said as he jumped into one of the cars as several headed out of the base and going to this dock, but they might be just a little to late.

Yzak and Dearka started walking in and Athrun followed as the other two took Nicol's body into the facility. They walked to the leader's office where the door was open and all stood at the door and saluted as Athrun was a little late with his.

Patrick could tell that his son was divided but he wouldn't hear of it.

"Enter and sit down," Patrick said in a demanding voice.

They walked in and a soldier outside the door closed it as they sat down and looked into the angry eyes of Patrick, but what Athrun noticed was that they seemed almost pleased to and he was eagerly looking forward to hearing what his father had to say.

Secret Base Classified Hanger

As soon as Kira and Lacus turned around Kira saw what he thought would never be built. There were three mobile suits right in front of them with five on the opposite side of the wall. Kira looked closely and the five weren't close to being completed and he could tell that Patrick put a rush on these three. They were all grey at the moment but he expected that and each one looked different.

Lacus couldn't believe it either, under this whole Plant was this giant factory making these things and it still puzzled her how Patrick kept all of this secret.

Kira broke from his trance as they had to get out of here, but first he had to take care of a few matters and with his main one he was glad he still had some of this stuff left.

Kira looked at Lacus, "I have to take care of a few matters…head to anyone of those three and head inside…I won't be long," Kira said as he didn't wait for a response he just left.

Lacus understood and she looked at the three choosing the one in the center, she didn't really look at any she just went to the first one she saw. Lacus ran towards it and got on the elevator as she ditched the rest of that mechanics outfit she wore. As soon as the elevator stopped she took the stairs leading to the top and then followed the platform to the seat, and she waited their as she looked around for Kira and found him doing something strange to the other suits.

As soon as Kira left Lacus he rushed over to the main control room in their and took out a small device as he opened up their systems. Kira looked around and saw that the three main ones were only ninety percent complete like he thought and the others were no where near to being completed, and since he didn't have the equipment for all of them he would use it for the ones that counted.

Kira finished in the system and started preparing to open the main hatch and he set it on a timer. After that he quickly rushed out and saw that Lacus was heading towards the one in the center. Kira then took the one to the right and started heading up the stairs as quickly as possible.

Once up top this was the largest one of the bunch so Kira opened up his bag and his explosives were limited so he would have to make sure that this one would be unusable, but the main reason was that he had to watch out for the power source these things ran on, however Kira was well known for rigging up explosives that would do no damage to anything he didn't want them to.

Kira started in the cockpit and placed a few on main systems as he made his way outside and placed them on several open circuits that were still showing because of the lack of completion. Kira made sure that these were powerful enough to take out what he wanted but not as strong as to make it to big.

Kira finished with the first one as he armed the detonator and then made his way down heading to the one on the far left. This one was a little bit smaller than the one on the right so Kira used all he had left on this one, just like the first one he placed them around and armed the detonator. Kira knew this would really through Patrick off if he lost all the capitol he put into these three machines, but that would only by them time.

Kira finished as he made his way up the center one, glad he made the timer for the outer hatch a little long as he couldn't have it opening like this.

Kira made his way up as he joined Lacus as he brought a few flight suits with him, they quickly changed, and then Kira sat in the seat as he held out his hand to her, Lacus took it and she blushed as she took a seat on his lap as the seat went down and the cockpit closed.

Kira had some training in mobile suits a few years ago, but with this one he knew what to do, after all he practically designed it.

Kira powered it up and then waited for a second as he took a breath. As he threw his equipment towards the back of the seat it was cramped a little but they would deal with it.

"Once we are out we will head straight to Mendel," Kira said as Lacus looked at him.

"I just hope we can put a stop to all of this, in time," Lacus said as Kira smiled.

"With this it will delay him a little, but not for to long," Kira said as he held out his device that was the detonator.

Lacus slightly smiled, "I'm glad you're doing this."

Kira looked at her, "My whole life has been nothing but preparing for battle…some times were good, but I haven't known…happiness until you came along, not in a very long time…" Kira said as Lacus smiled as she rested her head on his chest but the suits were in the way.

Lacus was about to say something when the hatch started to open.

"Let's go," Kira said as he started his suit up which wasn't at all named. Kira saw something in the disk he had on these suits which was found in the control room so he would read more about them later.

All he knew was that his armor worked but beams were still down, he still had the saber, but he was hoping not to use any of it yet. Kira then started to move it towards the hatch and it felt very natural to him.

The suit was ready to launch and Kira looked one last time at Lacus, "From here on, we will be in a very critical spot."

Lacus smiled, "We will and we will get through it."

Kira smiled as he launched the suit while pressing the detonator and the two others did exactly what he wanted and blew up their key parts and all major equipment, Kira kept looking back as they launched and he was pleased the reactors didn't go off, so he set it up perfectly.

Kira turned the armor on and they flew off, knowing all to well this was just the beginning of their journey, they both knew that many hardships were still to come.

To be continued…
