Chapter Twenty Nine

Moving On

Mendel Colony-Research Facility

Inside the facility

Kira just finished firing as the he was halfway turned around as the sniper round that was fired immediately struck him in his chest area sending him spinning off his feet and to the ground as his rifle dropped from his hands.

Lacus froze instantly as her tears fell from her eyes and her heart dropped as watched him fall to the ground. Lacus couldn't contain the pain any longer as her cry was released.

Outside the facility

The commander was watching through his binoculars as he was proud of the events.

The sniper smiled widely as he radioed the commander, "Target was hit sir," the sniper said as he watched the non moving body of Kira on the floor through his scope.

The commander smiled, "First team move in and secure the situation…the hardest one is down so take care of the last one," The commander said as the two remaining by the side of the facility were now moving into position.

The lieutenant and his sniper were proud of the events, "Keep an eye inside for any change in situation," the lieutenant said to his sniper.

"Yes sir…but my visibility is limited through the one door," this sniper said.

"I'm sure the team will take care of it," the lieutenant replied as he continued to look through his binoculars in standby mode.

The two by the facility started moving in with their weapons in a defensive stance, they stopped by the side of the open door as they nodded to each other and one quickly moved to the opening with his weapon drawn covering the first one as he went inside.

The commander watched with interest as he was looking forward to the reward from Patrick, taking out the two targets and recovering the stolen machine would get him a nice promotion and honors.

Inside the Facility

Lacus' whole body was shaking as she watched Kira fall, she wanted to rush over to him but her legs wouldn't move Lacus let her tears fall as he wasn't moving at all. Lacus finally regained the movement in her legs as she saw what was coming towards the door, Lacus looked at Kira as she knew she couldn't let this go to waste, she looked at him again as she ducked behind the fountain Kira told her they were going to hide behind.

She got behind it and sank to her knees as she never felt such pain before. She tried to hold herself together but the pain was eating away at her heart. As Lacus placed her hands on her face she remembered something she did yesterday, Lacus remembered that she placed the gun Kira gave her in the side of her clothes she was wearing, Lacus hesitantly reached down and pulled the gun out she was carrying. Lacus' hand was shaking as she never fired a weapon before in her life, she instantly remembered how Kira taught her how to use one and she was not going to let his sacrifice go in vain.

Lacus however wanted something more, she wanted to make the people that shot Kira pay, she never experienced this amount of hatred before, and she heard a lot of activity towards the front and knew that she had to do what she was going to do. Lacus immediately thought about Kira again, and then she made her move.

Inside Lobby of the Facility

The first soldier went inside with his weapon raised and found nothing as far as he could see; the second one joined him shortly with his weapon raised as he was looking around the facility while the first one was focused on Kira's body.

The first one slightly smiled as they cautiously approached Kira's body, the second one kept looking around as they were giving each other hand signals about the situation, they knew their was still one more so they still had to be cautious.

The first one stopped right in front of Kira's body as the second one now turned his attention to the body.

They looked down and noticed the bullet that was on the right side of his chest most likely striking through the lung.

The second one was taking on chances as he kicked Kira's UMP away from his body and the first one knelt down to check his body.

It was then that the commander came on, "Status report," the commander wanted.

The two were silent, but knew they were just dealing with a former singer so how difficult could she be and they broke radio silence, "First body almost secured sir."

"What about the girl?" the commander said.

"She can't be to far…we will start a search," the first one said.

"Very well, I am sending in more members along with myself," the commander replied.

"Copy that sir," the first one said as they signed off and as he started checking Kira's body it was then that Lacus made her move.

With Lacus and the rest

Lacus wasted no more time as she had to do this, for Kira, Lacus stood from her position and pointed the gun straight at the first man kneeling by Kira's body.

Lacus removed the safety as the two soldiers heard the noise and looked over in her direction.

Once they did they saw her standing there with the gun pointed at them, as her hands were shaking rapidly.

Neither had their weapons pointed in that direction but the second one was trying to slowly move in position.

The first one knew she had no experience and believed he could distract her long enough for his partner to get enough time to move his weapon towards her.

"Don't do anything foolish girl, you have no escape just give yourself up," the first one said.

Lacus however was well aware and did keep her eyes on the second one, "You killed him…I will not let you live," Lacus said in a hurtful tone the pain was still hurting her heart badly.

The first one smiled, "Listen lady, we are just hear to report the damage…now if you cooperate we can probably work something out," the first one said as he started to stand a little and the second one saw this as a good chance.

All they heard however was a shot fired as Lacus fired a shot right past them, and she was surprised she was able to do it, however she wasn't aiming at them this time, but something inside her wasn't allowing her to kill yet.

The first and second one saw that and they didn't move no more, they did know however all they had to do was stall until the commander arrived which could be about any minute.

"Things happen in war lady, how many people to you think he has killed, the number goes in the hundreds…the world is better off without such a killer," the first one said as Lacus tightened the grip on the trigger again.

"You're wrong! You didn't know him," Lacus shouted as she never before ever acted like this and as the tears fell again, the second one and first one saw his chance as her eyes shut and the second one quickly aimed at her and Lacus' eyes opened as she heard a shot.

With that shot Lacus opened her eyes and saw a shocker as the first one fell to his death, and the second one wasn't even without a weapon anymore, Lacus looked down and was relieved beyond belief as she saw Kira holding one of his M9's.

Kira heard everything that was going on and as soon as he heard Lacus' shot he quickly moved into action as he saw the second one that was standing right near him quickly point his weapon at her, but Kira quickly used his leg and kicked the gun straight upwards and out of the mans hand as he quickly drew his M9 and shot the first on straight in the back in an open spot in his body armor.

The first one didn't know what hit him as he fell, the second one saw this happen so fast that, as he saw the first one being shot he himself got a shocker.

Lacus now had a small smile on her face as she fell back to the ground in happiness and relief.

Kira shot the first one as he quickly got to his feet removing his knife from his forearm holder and sticking it straight into the second mans right side, as he struggled he and Kira finished the job as he wrapped his two arms around his neck snapping it killing the man instantly.

Kira finished him off and threw him to the ground as he stumbled and held his hand to the part of his vest that took the bullet, the shot luckily slowed down enough once it struck his vest that it didn't cause lethal damage, but as Kira felt around he saw that it did go through, somewhat and now strength was leaving his body, but as he turned around and saw Lacus' smile it did relieve him a little and he decided not to tell her about this yet.

Kira saw that the doors were open and the force was getting closer so he picked up his Ump from the ground where the man kicked it and moved as quickly as he could getting behind the fountain.

Lacus regained her posture and as soon as she got close enough she wrapped her arms around him tightly as they quickly took cover behind the fountain.

Kira held her to his body, but didn't do it tightly as he didn't want to worry her yet.

After a few seconds Lacus broke their hug as she looked at him, "You scared me half to death…how…" Lacus said as Kira cut her off.

"My vest took the shot Lacus…I stayed down to draw them in and now we have seven down…" Kira lied to her as he lost consciousness for a second after that sniper round was fired, the impact send him flying off his feet and as he looked down he knew the other reason, but more importantly Kira knew that he should have been able to see that coming, something was happening to his skills and now was not the time for that.

Kira knew he was starting to become civilized, with Lacus his battle senses were starting to dull, and he was shocked it happened so quickly, in order for them to survive he had to return to what he was before he met her and that was one that never hesitated, he had to in order to secure their future.

Lacus looked down at his vest as she was very grateful and as she tried to check it, Kira quickly turned as he looked towards the front door, "Their coming again," Kira said as he prepared his UMP to engage.

Outside the facility

The commander took the one remaining along with himself and his sniper he called in and they started making their way towards the facility once he arrived, the lieutenant and his sniper were still on long range duty for cover.

As they were heading towards the front doors they witness what happened as they had to immediately take cover as Kira moved again.

They got to the side of the facility as they weren't taking any chances, and the commander wasn't happy, "He is still alive," the commander said as he used his radio and called the lieutenant.

"Target two is still alive, do you have a shot," the commander said.

With the Lieutenant

The lieutenant was watching, and looked at his sniper, and the sniper was watching and as soon as Kira finished off the second one, the sniper smiled, "He is in the open I have a shot."

The lieutenant smiled, "Then take it."

The sniper looked through his scope as he put Kira in his sights and Kira was moving slower and as soon as he had the movement timed out he smiled, "Goodnight traitor," the sniper said as Kira was right in his sight and as the lieutenant smiled the sniper started pulling the trigger as another hail of bullets were fired striking the lieutenant to his death and as the sniper turned around he was met with another shot straight to his chest killing him.

Once the shots were fired Andrew and his team walked up to their bodies, "Took us awhile," Andrew said as he entire team was behind him.

Andrew turned around, "There is probably more, spread out and secure the safety of Miss Clyne, move out," Andrew said as the team now started storming towards the facility.

The commander who was waiting for conformation heard the shots on the other line.

"What was that sir?" his sniper asked.

The commander looked in the distance towards where the lieutenant and his sniper were supposed to be, "Something tells me trouble…you two stay here and I will handle the traitor," the commander said as he quickly went inside, nothing was going to stop his glory.

The sniper and the other soldier were now the only ones left as they set up around the facility doors and looked in the distance waiting to see just what who out there.

Facility Lobby

Kira was prepared as his rifle was ready and he began looking at the entrance to the doors, Lacus was still holding on to him with one arm but she had the still had the gun in the other and Kira kept a glance towards her while he was on guard, Kira's chest was killing him but he couldn't fully check it right now, all he knew was that the bullet did connect with his skin and he hoped that it didn't make it all the way through, Kira tried feeling it the first time but the pain easily over took him and since he didn't want to worry Lacus at the moment he didn't mention anything about it.

Kira did feel weaker but since he was still able to function this high he believed that it wasn't that bad, he tried glancing down at it a few times, but since the inside of the lobby was pretty dark he knew it was futile. Kira also could tell that their wasn't any blood gushing out so he figured that as long as it stayed that way he should be able to function close to his normal pace. Kira decided the to glance at Lacus again and take his mind off the pain he was feeling, but he was also worried about her.

Kira removed his one hand from the rifle as he used the ledge of the fountain to support it in case it was needed to be fired and he reached down placing a hand on the top of hers that was holding the gun.

Lacus felt his hand on hers as she looked at him.

"I'm sorry you almost had to fire that thing Lacus," Kira told her in a soft voice as he was still being quiet.

Lacus slightly frowned at his comment, "Something came over me…when I thought they killed you, I would have fired it," Lacus said as her hand started shaking again.

Kira had to keep his eyes on the door, "I know you would have, and I am hoping that you never will," Kira told her seriously.

Lacus looked up at him as she now rested her head on his shoulder as something was on her mind, "What did…I mean when was…" Lacus kept trying to say but something the soldier told her was bothering her and it was about his kill record.

Kira caught on, and decided she deserved the truth, "The first kill is the worst Lacus, something I didn't want you to go through, you remember everything the way the person looked, his expression, and even how he fell, but worst was the eyes…you easily remember the expression."

Lacus didn't say anything she just listened.

Kira went on, "After that then it just becomes another kill, until it becomes a reflex, you kill them before they kill you, that is how I lived by, and after awhile you don't feel anything anymore…many people I have killed, whether assassination, or setting explosives or blowing up bases, it all resulted in death…I hope with everything that you will never experience that, and I will do everything in my power to make sure that happens," Kira said as he wouldn't blame her if she hated him for that, but she didn't.

Kira didn't want to look at her at first, but when he did he didn't see hatred in her eyes, he saw something else.

Lacus gave him a reassuring smile, "I know you Kira…and I know deep down you felt everyone of those deaths, you are not the monster you make yourself out to be, there is far more to you and I am glad to have seen it," Lacus said as she leaned upward kissing him gently.

Kira was a little shocked she said those words, and soon after he returned her kiss, but as she reached her arms on his chest she pressed the wrong spot as a surge of pain was shot through his body.

Kira immediately broke the kiss and not wanting to alert her, he quickly placed both hands back on his rifle; Lacus believed that Kira most have saw something, and as luck would have it the commander finally started making his way inside the doors.

With the commander and Kira

The commander left his two remaining guys to hold off whatever was shooting at them, as all he wanted was the targets and his glory. The commander got inside as he poked his head around and saw the two fallen bodies of his team, as he looked around he noticed the fountain. The commander quickly looked around again as he saw two large polls holding up the ceiling, he decided if he wanted to stay alive he had to go for it as he quickly bolted to the side as the shots were fired and dived towards the poll in safety.

Kira watched as the commander started making his way in, but Kira didn't want to finish him off right by the door, that would likely bring the rest in so if he could do this silently then he would have the advantage.

Kira waited as the commander got closer towards the two fallen bodies of his unit, and as Kira was about to fire the man quickly bolted towards one of those large polls, and Kira opened fire barely missing, normally Kira would have hit, but the slowness in his left side was causing his reaction to go down a little.

Kira looked over at Lacus who was watching everything with concern, "Stay here and stay down, I will be back in a minute," Kira said as he reached out and gently placed a hand on her cheek as he swung the rifle over his shoulder and started making his way towards the edge of the fountain.

Outside the facility

The two the commander left on guard were looking all over the place for the unknowns out their, they desperately wanted more backup but no signal would reach the ship from inside so they had to do this alone.

Andrew and his team were spread out as they counted only two in number along with several bodies.

Andrews team was currently spreading out while surrounding the front to give these guys no where to go.

"All I see are fallen bodies sir…no Miss Lacus," one soldier said to him.

Andrew smiled, "That guy had a hand in this…that is the machine and this proves she is here…now let's finish this," Andrew said as all units were in position.

"Sir they have a sniper…one man wounded," a soldier on the radio said.

Andrew cringed, "All units storm the facility and take out that sniper," Andrew ordered as all his units broke silence and now charged towards the facility hailing bullets straight at it.

The sniper couldn't handle all of these at once, and the other guy was now starting to open fire, but it proved to much as Andrew's unit was able to hit the first man, and the sniper was now completely overrun.

Andrew was finally close enough as he aimed his weapon and as soon as the sniper turned to look at him, Andrew fired the shot and struck the man to his death.

Andrew smiled, "Status."

"Sir, one shot in the leg, but all other units secured," a soldier said.

Andrew looked towards the open facility doors, "Alright clean up out here, and I will secure Miss Clyne…you two come with me," Andrew said to the two next to him as all did what they were ordered.

As Andrew and his two guys got closer they heard sounds coming from inside as Andrew told the two to stay back and cover him as they did, Andrew waited for a second as it became quiet and as soon as he peered in he got a major shock.

Kira and the commander

The commander sat with his back against this poll as his handgun was drawn, behind the fountain Kira decided to make his move closer as he got to another one of those polls that was directly in front of the one the commander was behind and removed his silenced M9.

As Kira was anticipating his next move, both him and the commander heard gun fire outside the door, and the commander knew that something was wrong out there as that unknown force seemed to be winning.

Kira thought it was more reinforcements just randomly firing inside, Kira however looked over and decided to use the confusion and quickly moved to the commanders poll, but on the opposite side, Kira was silent enough as now he heard movement from the commander, and Kira knew the guy fell into his trap.

The commander was going to use the same strategy as Kira and use the firing outside to get closer but he took to long, the commander started moving out from behind the poll.

Kira was waiting and as soon as the commander came out, Kira grabbed his arm that was using his gun to aim forward, and Kira twisted it while kneeing the commander straight in the stomach causing him to release a scream of pain as Kira was still twisting his arm, that was what Andrew heard.

Kira pushed the commander back as he used pointed his M9 straight into the side of the commander firing the weapon at point blank.

The commander felt the shot and looked over into the eyes of Kira, only to see no remorse staring back at him, "You will never escape…our leader…" the commander said.

Kira looked at him as he let him go and as soon as the man hit the ground he died.

Kira holstered his M9 as the sounds from the outside were starting to get louder and Kira knew someone was approaching, removing his knife from his forearm he quickly ran towards the entrance to the now one open door, Kira waited with his knife drawn as the figure started entering the building.

Lobby and Outside the Facility

After Andrew heard the sounds he quietly started walking in with his rifle drawn and as soon as he entered he got a shock as Kira quickly emerged wrapping one arm around his neck flipping him to the ground while holding the knife to his throat, and now using his free arm pulled his Socom out aiming it at the two other soldiers that were in shock at how quickly all that took place.

Andrew quickly regained his senses as he knew who this was, Andrew looked over and saw his two soldiers about to aim their weapons, "Cease your weapons," Andrew quickly said as the two did.

Kira was a little surprised, but as he was holding the knife to his throat Kira recognized this man.

Andrew's men quickly took their hands off their weapons as Andrew spoke, "I know you don't believe me but we are not your enemy."

Kira just stared down at him.

Andrew looked up, "I was sent here by the chairman for his daughter, my mission is to protect her, just like you're doing…" Andrew told him as he was now surprised he got an answer.

"I have no reason to believe you," Kira said as he wasn't removing any of his weapons.

Andrew slightly smiled, "I knew I was right about you, you were once with Patrick Zala, but you turned against him and are now keeping Miss Clyne alive, our goals are the same, we are no threat to you."

Andrew did not like the reaction he was getting until a voice called out.

"Wait a minute Kira…these men are not our enemies," Lacus emerged and quickly ran up to him.

Lacus took cover like Kira asked her two, but after the commander fell she heard Andrew enter and after a few seconds she heard his voice, and when she looked up she saw that it was Andrew Waltfeld.

Kira looked up at her, as he placed his gun back in his holster and removed the knife from Andrew's throat, "How do you know he isn't after us," Kira said as he removed his weapons but didn't drop his guard, and if necessary could easily still bring them down.

Lacus looked at him, "He is my father's bodyguard, and these men are from the Clyne faction my father created."

Kira saw that she trusted these men, and it did make sense, except how they found them, "How did you find us," Kira said to the man on the ground.

Andrew sat back up, "We have been searching for Miss Clyne since she disappeared, and we couldn't let Patrick Zala get a hold of her so we had the Plant under surveillance, and when that mobile suit broke out we knew it was her, very long story but at least you are still safe Miss Clyne."

Lacus smiled, "Thank you…how is my father?"

Andrew stood up and smiled, "Worried about you…and he will be more relieved that we found you."

Lacus smiled but said nothing.

Andrew looked back over to Kira, "We are in your debt sir, and you saved Miss Clyne…even though you don't exist on paper."

Kira looked at him, "Checking on me are you?"

"I would be a horrible bodyguard if I didn't, but your work is becoming famous, Zala has you listed as the traitor hired by Miss Clyne carrying out all of the recent acts around the world…but some of that was true wasn't it, you were just carrying them out on Patrick Zala's orders weren't you?" Andrew told him seriously.

Kira said nothing.

Andrew smiled, "As I thought, just like at the hotel, I am guessing that was where things changed."

Kira was getting annoyed and edgy around all of these soldiers that were starting to gather, "That is none of your concern, we are wasting too much time here, I know that a ship is still out there."

Andrew nodded his head, "Correct, a pretty famous ship to."

"Le Crueset correct?" Kira said trying to get information.

Andrew smiled, "You really are a great one aren't you, you'll get information in any situations you come across, and yes it is his ship, which I believe you worked from at one time."

Kira said nothing as he looked at Lacus.

Lacus looked back to Andrew, "I thank you for all you and my father tried to do Mr. Waltfeld."

Andrew sort of cut her off, "Just doing what is right, we have several safe locations we can take you miss Clyne, your father will be relieved," Andrew told her as he looked over at Kira, "As for you…I believe you would do well in the Clyne Faction, why not give us a hand…we are after all fighting for the same cause," Andrew said as he didn't know Kira well, but this was something he got a strong feeling about.

Kira quickly looked at him, "So I can be used again and then tossed aside," Kira nearly shouted as it was more the pain in his chest talking, but he also did feel that way.

Andrew frowned, "Chairman Clyne is not like that, and since he will not likely be chairman anymore he will not give up his dream of full peace…we could use you to help achieve that goal."

Lacus knew Kira better than that.

Kira looked at him, "I did help Lacus, but it wasn't for your goal…I not to sure I do not fully condemn what Patrick Zala will do in the future, helping Lacus and believing in your cause are two separate matters."

Andrew frowned, "I see…however Miss Clyne we cannot stay here for to long we should get going."

Lacus looked at him, "Give me a minute," Lacus said as she walked back over to Kira.

Kira looked at her, "You should go with them…your father will likely be able to protect you better than I can."

Lacus looked at him seriously, "You said yourself and I know if Patrick Zala found out he would kill my father…" Lacus slightly lied, she had another reason.

Kira looked into her eyes to see the sadness she was hiding, "I will be hunted down for the rest of my days Lacus, and I told you I don't fully believe in your father's cause of total peace, such a world in my mind will never exist, that is not why I was fighting all this time."

Lacus felt a tear go down her cheek, she wasn't upset about what he said, "You really want me to go?"

Kira didn't want her to go at all, but her father did have better resources to protect her but, "It might be better."

Lacus looked at him seriously, "I never would have asked you to fight for my fathers cause, I didn't want you to fight at all…what I wanted was for us to try and have a life together," Lacus said as Kira placed his arms around her.

"You said we would end this and then we would have our lives together, that we would stay together…from now on we would end this together, that is what I desire Kira," Lacus told him as she held him tightly.

Kira smiled down at her, he hated seeing her like this, but he felt happy, the right decision might be to let her father keep her safe, but Kira knew he could probably do a better job, and besides that he wanted her by his side, "Then we will go together," Kira said as Lacus thanked him.

After their talk Lacus returned to Andrew, "I'm sorry Mr. Waltfeld but…" Lacus said as Andrew cut her off.

"I knew you weren't coming, besides you would be safer with him…I will tell your father you are safe, but just where will you head?" Andrew asked as he knew he was going to get it for this, but he was putting her safety and best interest first, and Andrew did seem to trust Kira, he could tell it from his eyes he would do anything for Lacus.

Lacus looked at him, "We are heading to ORB…we believe we will either fix the machine and gain help from Lord Uzumi, and something for what we found," Lacus told him.

Andrew smiled, "I seem to not have radio contact near this colony but I will deliver the message personally, but what did you find?"

Kira knew why, and so did Lacus but it didn't enter her mind and Kira stayed silent, why it was because he believed the N jammers were something that would be a lot better than nuclear arms so he stayed quiet about the matter, and even if he told them, it would likely bring about a civil conflict in Plants which they didn't need at the moment, and Kira nodded to Lacus not to tell him anymore, Kira still didn't want to bring anyone in on this until they had the proof.

Lacus knew what he meant and then smiled, "Thank you Mr. Waltfeld, we will be fine."

Andrew looked at her as she avoided the question but he knew there had to be a good reason, "Once you get their use a secure line and contact your father, Lord Uzumi should give you what you need."

Lacus smiled as she looked back at Kira and he nodded telling her to go ahead of him as she headed out to the mobile suit.

Andrew looked back at Kira, "Take care of her, and my offer still stands…do whatever you feel is right, I know no one has ever given you that choice before. Now you better heard out and thank you again," Andrew told him.

Kira thought about his words as he headed to the mobile suit.

Andrew smiled as a soldier approached him, "Are you sure sir? Trusting him."

Andrew smiled, "You will see, he will come around, and besides Miss Clyne is finally happy."

Mobile Suit

Kira and Lacus made their way out as Kira got on the cord first with his chest still killing him as the pain was worsening, Lacus got into her space suit as Kira declined putting his one Lacus was confused why but she didn't say anything, once they were finished Lacus got in his arms as he raised them up.

Once inside Kira got in first and as Lacus was about to join him Kira quickly took something out of his bag that was up there already and stabbed it straight into his leg, while quickly discarding it, Kira needed something for the pain or he feared flying this machine would take it all out of him and he would pass out at a critical time.

Lacus finished and sat on his lap as Kira threw the small morphine injector to the ground, Kira knew that he would have to take care of this, but it would have to wait.

Kira finished and closed the cockpit of the doors and Kira started it up as all he took off all his guns and weapons placing them in the bag for more comfort.

Lacus smiled down at him, she was grateful and glad that they were sticking together, Kira returned her smile as he started up his suit and took off.

Andrew watched as he believed whatever they were planning they would be able to handle it, but now he had to report back to the chairman as he gathered up the team and they headed back.

Space outside Mendel Colony

Rau was getting impatient inside his ship as he was hearing nothing, but that changed when his radar operator spoke, "Sir something is leaving the gate."

Rau went over to the screen, "Identify the source."

The radar person did and the stolen mobile suit flew out of there, "It's our stolen machine sir."

Rau smiled, "So he wiped out the team, interesting."

The captain looked back at him, "Shouldn't we launch our machines sir?"

Rau looked at him, "They will never catch up to it…besides we have other ways of finding it…pursue the machine as far as our space goes while I contact the leader."

"Yes commander," the captain said as they set the course to pursue and now Rau had to contact Patrick, but he was very fascinated at his former trainee, he thought Kira was growing weaker but that seemed the opposite now.

Rau sat down as he now had to contact Patrick.

A little ways away

Kira and Lacus flew off, as Lacus rested herself next to Kira's body, Kira smiled at her as he set the course for earth, he just hoped they could get what they needed down their, fix or destroy this machine, and start bringing down Patrick Zala.

Lacus was glad but as she reached her hand on Kira, she saw something on her suit and it was blood.

Lacus looked at her hand and then quickly back at Kira, and Kira knew he had to quickly get down to earth.

To be continued…

(AN): I hope you liked this chapter, the next one will contain arrival on earth, and the Zala team gets a new mission, I don't know when it will be up. Bye for now.
