(A/N)- Author's Notes
(Lalala)- Ghost Speaking
-Devine Speaker-
Last Time:
Kira's eyes widened as he looked up at Athrun. Athrun was looking into the fog trying to find the ghosts. Athrun looked down at Kira and saw terror in his eyes. Athrun turned toward where footsteps could be heard. A man stepped into view. An older man wearing a lab coat. That's right... The one who helped Kira figure out how to purify the ghosts spirits... Doctor Youngling.
Chapter Fifteen: We Are in so Much Trouble!
Kira gasps loudly at the sight of Doctor Youngling. Everything was about to go down hill and fast. Doctor Youngling knew how to have a ghost take on a completely human form and still live forever. If whoever was behind all these ghosts appearances was to learn how... Total darkness would rule the world. Suddenly it just wasn't about there lives anymore.
Kira cursed himself as he watched the dear doc walk closer to where the two were hiding. Athrun knew that they wouldn't be able to hide much longer. He also knew they had to take out two of the ghosts before they were to be discovered.
Kira knew what he had to do. He is going to face them like a man. He stands up from his spot and shoots the doctor. The doctor fell to one knee in pain. Kira then lights him aflame. Mu La Flaga stepped out from behind a tree dragging someone with him. Kira stared at him in anger as Jasmine came into view. She looked so scared with her mouth gagged and her wrists tied together in the front with a rope.
"Release her." Screamed Kira.
Just then a gun shot could be heard. Then a loud thud filled the park. Athrun had leapt from the tree and landed on Kira painfully. When Kira looked up at Mu again from beneath Athrun not only was there anger... Kira's eyes faded as his seed broke yet again. Athrun got up painfully and when he looked at Kira he felt shivers go down his spine.
The peace loving young man long gone. The soldier within has finally emerged. Kira was pissed off and that is a very scary thought. Athrun turned back to Mu with his gun raised and what he saw made him lose all rational thought. Mu was playing with Jasmine.
Her eyes wide with fear as Mu gently pressed his dagger against her throat and tracing it down her neck. His other hand on her hip. Athrun joined Kira in SEED mode. Kira leaps at Mu but then jumps into the tree above. Athrun distracts Mu by running at him from the other side. Instead of slicing Jasmines throat he throws the dagger at Athrun to slow him down. Not to kill him.
The dagger embeds itself in Athrun's right leg. Immediately Athrun falls to one knee and then takes a shot at the now exposed Mu. He manages to hit Mu in the shoulder and Jasmine was released. Kira jumped down at this moment and carries Jasmine to safety.
Mu grows angry and fires at Athrun mercilessly. A bullet hits the handle of Athrun's gun and knocks it into bush far from Athrun's reach. Athrun is now defenseless and he could feel the fear rising from the pit of his stomach. Mu smiles evilly down at Athrun when a blear of pink stands in his way. Standing there with wings spread was an angel and not just any angel. Lacus has returned to earth to protect her friends. Next to her stands a smirking Yzak with a gun in hand.
-Kira, Athrun, It is not your time to die. We will hold them off as long as we can. Regroup.- Lacus whispered so only Athrun and Kira could hear.
Kira was far away but could still hear each word she said. Jasmine faints under all the pressure so Kira is forced to pick her up bridal style. Kira leaps away into the fog with Athrun not that far behind.
-You will not have them. We will stop you demons!- Lacus cried as she and Yzak charge.
(I would like to see you try witch.) Bailee snarled.
Mu steps back as Tom, Tai and Bailee begin there fight. Mu thought about going after the brats but thought against it. He would need help if he was going to overwhelm them. Leaning against a tree he lets his masters words bounce around in his head.
(We shall rise again but we need new bodies. Kira Yamato and Athrun Zala are the perfect specimens. Bring them to me alive.) Echoed the dark voice.
(Very well... Master.) Mu bowed and had left for his mission.
While Mu was thinking about his master the others were losing there battles. Tai had been managing to keep his own against Yzak but soon enough he knew he couldn't win. So he ran like a coward. Bailee and Tom however stayed behind to fight.
-Come back coward!- Yzak roared as Tai fled.
-Don't waste your time on him. We have to find Kira and Athrun.- Lacus rested her hand on his shoulder.
(You aren't going anywhere pinky.) Bailee snapped as she tried to charge Lacus.
Lacus gracefully jumped out of the way. Yzak was having a harder time against Tom. Apparently Tom actually knew how to fight. Though Yzak finally overcame him. Lacus was dodging blows left and right. Finally she saw an opening and struck one blow. Bailee fell to her knees next to Tom.
-I'm so sorry Miss Bailee.- Lacus said before setting Bailee on fire after winning her little duel.
-You fought well Tom. I wish I had met you in life.- Yzak muttered before setting Tom on fire.
Mu and Tai regrouped at the parks center. The final battle is coming. They had to get one of two or else there master will kill them again. This time they would rot in hell. There souls can not be purified by something so evil.
Lacus and Yzak found Kira tending his friends wounds as well as his own by a small stream.
"I'm fine Kira. How is Jasmine?" Athrun fended off his friend as he wrapped a bandage around his leg after pulling the dagger out.
"She is coming to." Kira said as he swatted Athrun's hand away so he could finish wrapping the wound tightly.
-You two did very well considering.- Lacus said as she sat down beside Jasmine who finally woke up completely.
-Yeah but you two were no match for all of them. Tom and Bailee are gone though.- Yzak said as he leaned against a tree.
"What are we going to do?" Kira asked while looking at there little group.
Then looking back at Lacus and Yzak his eyes grew big and round like two violet colored saucers. He then pointed at the two of them with his mouth open gaping like a fish. His mouth moving but no words would come. Athrun looked at the two as well and started laughing.
"I never thought Yzak would be an angel." Athrun fell over laughing.
-Shows how much you know Athrun.- Yzak sniffed.
"Can someone tell me what's going on?" Jasmine practically yelled.
"Lacus and Yzak are angels sent to help us but how did you get here? Why didn't you turn into ghosts?" Kira muttered.
-Our spiritual energy was too much for the evil master. So our souls advanced to heaven but when we saw what you were going through we begged to come back down to earth to help.- Lacus said.
-We are going to stand guard so you can have a rest.- Yzak said after a short silence.
Kira yawned and Jasmine rest her head in Kira's lap and Athrun fell asleep against a nearby tree. Lacus and Yzak took to the skies to keep an eye out for the evil ones. The fog still hovering over the ground like a blanket. Beautiful white wings kept them afloat as they circled above the sleeping friends. Dressed in all white they blended in with the fog around them.
Tai smirked as he watched the circling pair before the plan was set in motion. Mu would cause a distraction and Tai would get the prize. Mu started firing his gun at some innocent people who had decided to take a walk in the park. As there screams of fears reached heavenly ears the two angels took off in that direction.
Tai smiled in triumph as strolled over to the three friends. He grabbed Athrun with his freezing hands and with one swift movement Athrun was knocked out. Kira sat up right away and shot at Tai. Tai picked up his prize and leaped away taking an unconscious Athrun with him.
