Chapter 4: Shock and Awe
Azrael had heard the two women talking as a nurse was changing his shoulder bandages. 'WHAT, there is no way that she could have lived!' As the nurse finished, Azrael grabbed the scalpel on the tray she used and before she could scream he stabbed her. She crumpled to the floor as Azrael walked out of the room and to the source of the bitch's voice.
He entered the room, the occupants falling silent, and smelt the fear that he caused these two women. "Now, to finish what I started," Azrael said approaching the injured woman and the young girl next to her. "Azrael, please, let her go. This is between the two of us, not her," Natarle said, hoping to convince the bastard to let Fllay go. "You," he said pointing the knife at Fllay "can go." Fllay turned to Natarle in disbelief, 'I hope you know what you are doing, Natarle. Be careful.' Fllay got up and walked past the madman, who continued towards Natarle. The injured woman was silent as Azrael approached. 'SHIT, this is not how I thought this was going to happen. I survive three bullets from this madman and he is going to kill me with a knife. I am sorry Arnold.' Natarle heard the sound of metal hitting flesh and Azrael collapsed, behind him Fllay held a slightly bent surgical tray.
Natarle let out a breath she didn't realize that she was holding as Fllay approached and the two hugged each other. Azrael had once again been dumped in the brig; he would later be transferred to the Aprilius City, where the war tribunal would occur. Azrael would face crimes against humanity, attempted genocide, the Corsica Treaty, and the Geneva Convention. "Thank you, Fllay. You-" Flay interrupted her, "I was returning the favor, you saved me first." Natarle hugged the girl tighter and despite the recent events, yawned. "That is my cue to leave, Natarle," the girl said as she stood up and left the room. 'You don't have to thank me, Natarle. You helped me first and made me notice something. Now to fix some mistakes I made.'
ETERNAL
Lacus looked at the handsome young man, who captured her heart not too long ago, across from her. He was slightly bandaged, but he came back, along with his sister and his oldest friend. The fight against Rau Le Creuset had drained him, physically and emotionally. He slept the rest of the day, after the battle, and most of the day yesterday. Today, he couldn't stand still when he wasn't running around to talk to Athrun and Cagalli he was chatting with the other soldiers. After talking with Mu and Murrue for a little bit, he managed to wind down by talking with Andy. Everything was becoming less hectic and somewhat simpler than the past few weeks had been.
Everyone was happy with how everything managed to end and couldn't wait for the peace talks in the next few days. 'A meeting to discuss peace between the PLANT and the Earth Alliance was long overdue. The Three- no that wasn't right- Four Ships Alliance, was to be present. People needed to see that the combined efforts of ZAFT, the Alliance, and Orb helped end the war,' Lacus remembered what Eileen Canaver sent her when the ceasefire was issued. Eileen had taken over her father's moderate faction and had done what her father didn't get the chance to do, engage in peace talks between the two forces. "Lacus why don't we walk around for a little bit," Kira said as he stood up from the table. The young couple walked out of the room and spent the next few minutes talking and then they ran into a familiar face. "Fllay…"Kira said he didn't know what to do and neither did Lacus. The last time Fllay and Lacus met Fllay wanted to kill other girl. "Kira, I am so sorry," the girl said, she hoped that this moment would come. "Let's find somewhere for the three of us to talk," the pink princess said as they headed to the conference room.
"Being on that ship with Azrael made me realize something, I have done awful things to the both of you. Then, at Boaz, I learned that I had thoughts similar to Azrael. After that battle, I hated myself because of what I did and couldn't wait to make amends with the two of you. I understand if you can't forgive me for what I have done," Fllay said, memories of the things that she did came to the forefront of her mind. 'I was a real bitch for doing those things.'
"The fact that you had the courage to come here and ask for forgiveness makes me respect you," Lacus said. "I forgive you, Kira?" Lacus turned to the person she loves the most. "Fllay, I forgive you, too. How is Captain Badgiruel," Kira asked, he knew something happened to the woman. "She is able to go around the ship in a wheelchair, but it wears her out. That monster really did a number on her," Fllay replied. "Make sure that she and her crew know that they should be at the signing of the treaty, they did help end this war," Lacus said. The tension in the air had lifted and the trio walked to the hanger where Fllay would leave for the Dominion. 'Kira, I have no right to be back into your life. I am happy for you and Lacus, perhaps if I realized my mistakes earlier than I could be able to be with you.'
AN: Sorry about the short chapter and the overdue chapter. I had to rewrite it two or three times, so I hope you like it. I should be able to finish this story sometime next week. I didn't watch Destiny so this story will end after the signing of the treaty. Please review.
