Gundam Seed: Mythical Legends

Phase 06: Death's Arrival

Park

"I am Loki, the god of mischief," Shinn started, looking rather depressed. He leaned his back against a tree and crossed his arms, as he looked back at Cagalli who was eagerly listening to his explanation. "20,000 years ago, I was banished from the realm of the gods for a crime I didn't commit. Odin took away my immortality and turned me into a mere human."

Stellar nodded. "I remembered the day you left Asgard. I felt really sad seeing you go, Loki-sama." She clasped her hands together, looking sympathetically at Shinn.

Shinn suddenly blushed. "Um... yeah..." He started to feel awkward as he scratched his head.

"Please continue..." Athrun said.

"Okay," Shinn replied. "Of course, I lived my days as a human until I died in an unfortunate accident. Many years later, I was reincarnated in this form."

"But this human form looks exactly like your god form, Loki-sama," Stellar added, making him nervous again.

"Well, yeah... but... Stellar, please let me finish." He looked kind of pissed, but his expression was sure adorable for a guy.

"Um... sure..." She giggled.

"Anyway, 16 years later, Odin found out about my existence. He has sent out gods like Heimdall and the Norns to annihilate me."

"I'm also one of the Norns, but I am on Loki-sama's side. By the way, my goddess name is Skuld."

Cagalli faintly smiled at her. "Your name is Stellar, right?"

"That's my human name."

"Shinn is on Earth because he was banished from the realm of gods. How about you?" Cagalli asked the goddess.

"Odin-sama has sent me here on a mission to find Freya-sama, the goddess of fertility. Rumor has it that she was reincarnated."

"Was she banished like Shinn?" Athrun questioned.

Stellar shook her head. "During the war of the gods, she suddenly disappeared. Odin-sama wants me to find her and bring her back to Asgard."

Freya?Her name echoed in Cagalli's mind. She felt like she knew the goddess, but she wasn't sure of it.

"Shinn, with all those gods coming after you, will you be okay?" Cagalli was worried. It was natural for her to worry about her best friend.

"I'm not sure." Shinn sighed.

"Do not worry, Cagalli-san, I promise to keep Loki-sama safe," Stellar assured, as she held Shinn's hands.

Once again, Shinn's face turned bright red. He quickly turned away and faced Cagalli who was still looking anxiously at him. Cagalli...

Hallways (Next Day)

Kira was standing in front of the Principal's Office because he needed a copy of the school's grading system. As he was about to knock on the door, he spotted a familiar girl entering a vacant room. He entered the room where he saw the girl standing by the window. Where have I seen her before? He approached her cautiously, trying to figure out who she was. The girl had blue-violet eyes that matched her dark red hair. He had to admit that she possessed the beauty and the glamour of a goddess.

She turned around and faced him with a smile. "Yes, may I help you?" she spoke in a cheerful tone.

Kira narrowed his eyes, feeling suspicious. "Miss, do I know you?"

The girl giggled. "Of course... You know me very well, Freyr."

Kira's eyes shot wide open after hearing her say his god name.

The girl approached him with arms crossed in front of her chest. "Don't you recognize me?" she said seriously. Through the sound of her eerie voice, Kira finally realized who she was.

"You're Hel! Aren't you supposed to be guarding the realm of the dead? What are you doing here?"

"I came here to look for my father."

"I see... Well, I'm here for a different reason and that is to search for my sister."

"Then I wish you all the luck, Freyr." She slightly bowed her head. "I better go now." She snapped her fingers and black flames instantly appeared around her. When the flames engulfed her, she immediately vanished.

"So, Hel is here too. Heimdall is going to have a hard time fulfilling his mission." Kira knitted a peculiar smile on his face.

Girl's Locker Room

Lacus was changing into her PE uniform for her next class. During her rummage in the locker, she overheard the other girls talking about Kira. Since she was interested in him, she kind of eaves dropped on their conversation.

"Kira-sama is so cute!" a girl who appears to be a cheerleader said out loud as her cheeks flushed red.

"I agree," added another girl who was busy putting on her socks. "Kira-sama is so cool and athletic too. I've seen him play basketball."

"I think he's the perfect guy!"

All the girls nodded in unison, including Lacus who was secretly daydreaming about Kira at the moment.

Meer came in, looking rather pissed. She marched towards her locker located beside Lacus'. She banged her fist on the locker because she felt angry. That Athha... I'm not going to let her have Athrun. He's mine and mine alone!

She turned to her sister and noticed her blank expression. She waved a hand in front of her face to get her attention, but it was no use. She was still in a trance. "Lacus, what the hell is wrong with you?" Meer raised an eyebrow, thinking absurdly of her sister.

Lunch Hour (Roof top)

Shinn, Cagalli and Athrun gathered at the roof top. Cagalli wanted to discuss more about Shinn's problem with Odin and his assassins. She was completely worried about Shinn's safety as well.

"What are you going to do with those assassins?" Cagalli asked the god, looking worried.

"I have no choice but to fight them," Shinn calmly replied.

"But it's still dangerous. I don't want to see you getting hurt." Cagalli approached Shinn and held his right hand. She gazed at him with her golden-brown eyes.

"Cagalli, I can take care of myself," Shinn spoke to her softly as he showed her a smile.

During this, Athrun was getting jealous just by watching them. He closed his eyes to rid of the perplexing feeling he felt. How can I compete with someone like Shinn?

Shinn scratched his head in frustration, feeling irritated about his life. For once, he would like to experience a normal mortal life, but Odin had to ruin all his chances. "Why can't Odin leave me alone?!" Shinn yelled.

"Shinn... I..." Cagalli spoke as she placed a hand on his shoulder. "There must be a solution for all this."

"I know, but what?" He held his temple, gently massaging it to ease his mind. "Odin wants me dead and I don't even know why."

"It is because Odin-sama considers you as a threat to the gods and to humanity." A voice spoke as a figure appeared in front of them. The figure formed into a girl with red hair and blue-violet eyes.

"Who are you?" Cagalli asked as she raised one eyebrow at her.

The red-haired girl just smiled.

On the other hand, Shinn was staring at the girl intensely. "What brings you here, Hel?" Shinn asked.

"Hel?" Cagalli and Athrun muttered, looking surprised at the girl. "Isn't Hel the goddess of the dead?" Athrun added.

"Yes," replied Hel.

"You didn't answer my question yet! What are you doing here?!" Shinn demanded.

"Isn't it obvious? I came here to see you, Oto-sama," Hel replied, surprising Cagalli and Athrun.

"Oto-sama?!" uttered Cagalli.

"You're her father?" Athrun asked Shinn.

Shinn sighed. "Yes, I'm her father..."

"But she looks like our age," Cagalli said, pointing a finger at Hel. "Wait a minute... Since you were reincarnated..." She paused to think about it. "Ah! Okay, I get it!"

"Then I don't have to explain anymore." He turned back at Hel seriously. "Hel, tell me your real reason for being here."

"Oto-sama, can't you at least greet your daughter properly! Sheesh!" Hel exclaimed as she shook her head.

"Don't waste my time."

"Okay, okay... I came here to tell you about Odin-sama's intentions."

"What about it?"

"Before that..." Hel suddenly hugged her father tightly but warmly. "I missed you so much, Oto-sama!"

"Hel..." he spoke softly this time. "I missed you too." He hugged her back.

Cagalli felt happy seeing the father and daughter together again. "I can't believe that Shinn has a cute daughter like her. I've always taught that Hel was a hag." Cagalli said.

"It's one surprise after another," Athrun added.
