JC: Chapter 44 is finally updated. Thank you reviewers for the support. I love you all. Cagalli is going to give Fllay a hard time here. And don't you think Meer is getting a bit closer to Kira than Lacus? I swear I'm not going to pair them up. Meer is someone that would just make Lacus jealous. Please don't hate Meer here...

Phase 44: Outbreak

"Fllay…" Cagalli muttered, looking afraid. Her body was still shaking. She was trying her best to suppress the power inside her. She did not know how long she could hold it in. It was getting tougher by the minute.

"Cagalli-san, are you all right?" Fllay offered her hand to help her up. Once Cagalli took it, she pulled her up. "I'm sorry for bumping into you."

"Oh no! I should be the one to say so—." Her heart began to ache, making her wince in pain. She leaned herself on the wall as she panted non-stop. She was having hard time breathing and her vision was becoming a blur.

"What's the matter?" Fllay held Cagalli's shoulders to prevent her from falling. "What's happening to you?"

Cagalli could not reply. Her consciousness was slowly fading away as the power inside her was taking over. She could no longer bear the pain. She could no longer suppress herself. It was going to come out.

"Fllay, stay away from me!" Cagalli told her as she pushed her aside. She breathed heavily, trying to remain focus. Her power was about to come out and she feared that it will harm Fllay.

But Fllay was full of concern for her. She was not about to leave her until she knew what was going on. "Cagalli-san, what is happening to you? Please tell me!" uttered Fllay.

It was too late. Fllay's voice could no longer reach Cagalli. She has somehow lost her consciousness, but strangely, she was still standing. She faced Fllay with empty eyes. Her face was emotionless and her skin became as cold as ice.

"Cagalli-san?" Fllay attempted to reach out to Cagalli. "Can you hear me, Cagalli-san? Please talk to me." She approached her slowly.

Cagalli's body began glowing, unleashing an immense aura. She raised her hand towards Fllay and formed an energy sphere before her.

Fllay backed away, fearing Cagalli's power. She was about to cast a teleportation spell in order to escape, but Cagalli quickly fired the sphere right at her. The blast from the sphere sent her flying towards a wall, which injured her head pretty badly. Blood streamed down her face as she felt the stingy pain. She opened her eyes slowly and saw Cagalli approaching her.

Cagalli lifted Fllay with telekinesis and rammed her against the wall. "Goddess of Death, Hel, you were the one who sealed my necklace. Now tell me, where did you hide it?" Her voice was cold.

"Y-your neck…necklace…?" Fllay, feeling weak from the attack, still managed to stand up. She held her head and felt the blood bleeding from her wound. If she were a normal human being, she would have died minutes ago.

"I demand to know where the Brisingamen is."

"Now I understand. Your power desires the necklace. That's why you don't have control over yourself anymore. This is like before."

"I don't have time for your cheap talk. Just tell me where the necklace is or else!"

Fllay could not tell her where the necklace was. She had sworn a promise to her father to never reveal its location. She had kept it a secret for a long time and she was not about to break the promise. "Freya, acquiring the necklace is what Odin truly wants. With it, you can bring Ragnarok to this world."

Cagalli once again lifted her up. "This world deserves to be destroyed." She swung her hand with full force, sending Fllay flying to a classroom.

Fllay landed roughly on some tables and chairs. She was losing a lot of blood and she could barely stay awake. "Freya, this is not like you. You're the goddess of fertility. You're one of the kindest goddess I've ever met. I know you don't want Ragnarok!" She hoped her words could reach Cagalli's heart.

"Silence!" Cagalli telepathically gripped her neck, blocking off her air passage. "I'll make sure you'll die if you don't tell me."

"F-Freya…" Fllay was running out of air. Is this the end? Tears fell from her grey-blue eyes. Despite her situation, she remained strong and she refused to reveal the necklace's location. She was going to keep her promise until the end not only for her father but for Cagalli's sake as well.

Cagalli was growing impatient with her stubbornness. Forming energy sphere with her other hand, she smirked at Fllay evilly. "I bid you farewell, goddess of death." She unleashed the sphere at Fllay, confident it would disintegrate her to ashes.

As the power diminishes, she noticed another aura present in the room. She turned around to see Shinn carrying an unconscious Fllay in his arms. "How did you—?" she gasped.

Rey suddenly appeared beside Shinn. "We made it just in time," he said, eyeing Cagalli seriously.

"I see… The Hel that I destroyed was an illusion created by you, Heimdall." She narrowed her eyes as her aura rose.

"Cagalli, snap out of it! Don't let your power overwhelm you!" Shinn uttered.

"Hmph… I'll deal with you later." Cagalli spun on her heels and walked to the window. A gush of wind entered the room and encircled around her. Her body glowed in bright gold color and before they knew it, she teleported out of sight.

"Cagalli…" Shinn muttered, lowering his head. He gazed upon his battered daughter and felt so hurt. His own best friend hurt his daughter. He never thought Cagalli would attack Fllay so mercilessly. But he understood her. He knew Cagalli was taken over by her power again.

He drew Fllay's face near his and caressed her soft hair. "Hel, I'm sorry for letting this happen to you."

Rey placed a hand on his shoulder. "It's not your fault, Loki. I'm sure Odin has something to do with Freya's outburst." He looked at Fllay and gritted his teeth. I can never forgive him now. He felt anger rushing through his blood as he thought about Gilbert.

Shinn took a good look at his daughter. "We better take her to Skuld for healing. Hel is in bad shape." Even though Rey told him it was not his fault, he still felt like he could have done something to prevent this from happening. Fllay was his responsibility after all.

School Yard

Lacus was on her way to the front gate, looking very excited. She had invited Kira again to dinner. This time, she was sure to get Kira's attention because she also asked him to help him with her homework. Well, it was not like Lacus to ask somebody's help when it comes to school, but it was a different case. She could not let Meer have all the attention again.

As the gate came to view, she caught a glimpse of Kira's back. Her lips curved into a smile as she quickened her pace. "Yamato-kun!" she uttered as she waved her hand. But it seemed that Kira did not hear her. She tried calling him again but she stopped when she saw a striking moment…

Her sister Meer was hugging Kira! Her head was against his broad chest and her arms were entwined around his waist. It was a horrible sight for Lacus.

"I-It can't be…" muttered Lacus as tears formed in her eyes. Her whole world just crashed down. She felt her heart broke into a million pieces. "Yamato-kun and my sister? No…" She quickly turned around and ran away.

"Oops!" Meer lightly laughed, pushing herself away from Kira. "It was silly of me to trip and fell on you like that. Sorry…"

"I never knew you were a bit clumsy," said Kira.

"I'm not clumsy. I tripped over a pebble!" the pink-haired girl retorted, pulling a face on him.

Kira sighed. "Okay… Okay…" He then looked around to see if Lacus was coming. "She's not yet here. I wonder what's taking her so long." He was really looking forward to another dinner with Lacus and maybe with Meer. Truth to be known, hanging out with the pink-haired sisters were fun.

Meer tapped her foot impatiently. "My sister's late! I can't believe she lets you wait like this." She folded her arms.

"At least she's more graceful than you," Kira giggled as he backed away to avoid a hit from her.

"That's rude! For your information, I'm as graceful as Lacus!"

"That's what you think."

"You know, I never knew you could be so annoying."

"I'll take that as a compliment."

Meer raised an eyebrow, thinking absurdly of him. "My, my, Kira Yamato…" She looked around to see if there was any sign of Lacus. "Uh! I can't wait any longer. I'm going home. You better wait for her, Kira!"

"Some sister you are," he grumbled, thinking how different she was compared to Lacus.

"Whatever!" she snapped, rolling her eyes away from him. She spun on her heels and walked off in a hurry.

Kira just sighed, wondering why he could put up with a girl like Meer. He only knew her for a short time and he felt like a very close friend to her. She was annoying in a sense, but he thought of her as a good companion as well.

School Clinic

Rey and Shinn rushed Fllay into the clinic, not even thinking that the nurse was there. They immediately stopped at the sight of the school nurse dressed in pure white. Shinn held onto to Fllay protectively as he turned around to avoid letting the nurse see his daughter. However, the nurse already caught a glimpse of the injured girl and told him to lay her on the bed.

"We can handle this," Rey spoke up, blocking the nurse's view from Shinn.

"That girl needs help! I'm a nurse so—" Before the nurse could finish, Rey used hypnotism with his eye to put her to sleep and to erase her memory about Fllay.

"I'm sorry…" Rey apologized as he caught the nurse. He placed her on the bed gently and went back to Shinn and Fllay.

Shinn laid his daughter on the next bed. "Heimdall, call Skuld now!" he said, his voice cracking. He was dead worried about Fllay.

Rey nodded without a comment. He stood in a corner and began emitting his aura out. With his telepathy, he managed to find the goddess and called her. "Skuld, can you hear me?"

Stellar, who was getting her shoes from the locker, suddenly heard Rey's voice. "Err… Heimdall-sama?" she muttered, looking from left to right to see if he was around.

"Skuld, come to the clinic immediately."

"Why? What's wrong?" Stellar asked.

"Hel is injured badly and we need you to heal her."

"What did you say?!" gasped Stellar, her eyes widening with surprise. "How…?"

"No time for questions, Skuld! Just come here!" Rey demanded with a loud voice. He too was losing his cool because of Fllay's condition.

Without further ado, Stellar made a run for it to the clinic. When she got there, the first thing she saw was Shinn desperately holding onto Fllay's hand. "Loki-sama…" Slowly, she approached him and placed a tender hand on his shoulder. "Please move aside, Loki-sama. I will heal her."

Shinn's eyes were neared to tears. He was ready to break apart if it were not for Stellar's arrival. He motioned himself to Rey's side to let Stellar do her miraculous work. "Go ahead…"

Stellar placed both hands over Fllay's chest. She uttered an incantation which let her summoned a small fairy gifted with strong healing powers. "Give her your grace," she told the fairy.

The fairy flew around Fllay, sprinkling her with fairy dust. With this, Fllay's injuries and blood were slowly disappearing.

To be continued…

JC: Cagalli's power took over her will. This looks bad. For the record, Kira and Athrun don't know about this yet. Lacus got jealous of Meer. Will she confront her sister? AthrunXCagalli and KiraXLacus moment in the next chapter. Please review and no flaming.
