Chapter 3

Dearka turn his head around when he felt someone was calling for him. "Is it just my imagination?" he asked.

"Did you say something Dearka?" Liam asked from the CIC seats.

Dearka shook his head and smiled. "I think it's just my imagination Mr. Liam", he said.

Liam saw his smile designed to bring the discussion to a close. Liam shrugged. "Anyway, you better braze yourself to this Dearka because we have arrived".

The Orb Union, a neutral nation that accepts both Coordinators and Naturals alike and could live in peace. This nation's ruler, Cagalli Yula Attha and the Senates, are always trying their best to keep the citizen safe from any war. Their ideal - 'we do not interfere with other country's political issue nor do we let other country interfere with our way of life' - is what kept them neutral until today. With such ideal, they got to have the power to protect it and that's where the Morgenroete comes in. The Moegenroete is mechanics work their wonders in creating better defensive technology to protect their nation. The ReHOME has finally arrived to the nation where she would welcome them with open arms.

The Junk Guild did not just come to Orb for a visit but they also had something to deliver to the Morgenroete's chief designer. Next to these is to have the mechanics to do some checkup on the Red Frame and their ReHOME and to retrieve Dearka's lost memories.

"Alright! Engine is on cooling mode", Lowe said, stepping away from the ship's yoke. "Morgenroete's mechanics will handle the rest from here".

"Then what are we going to do about the delivery Mr. Lowe?" Dearka asked.

Lowe smiled and says, "We will handle those in a minute but first". He point at the ship's main monitor. A woman with brown hair wearing an orange jersey, a young brunette man in a white uniform and a young navy blue hair man were standing at the entrance of the ship.

They seem familiar somehow, especially the blue hair guy, Dearka though while looking at the monitor. Even though his guts told him that he knows them but he could not remember about them. I wonder if I have any connection with them.

"We have to greet our host first", Lowe broke through his chain of thought. "The Professor and I will take care of this. I'll leave the rest to you Liam", Lowe said.

"I'll get it arrange out Lowe", Liam said, sending his two friend out the control room. "Shall we check on Kisato's mood before we begin our work?"

Dearka nodded and the two of them begin down the corridor towards the living area of the ship.

For the last three days, Kisato has refuses to do any of her work since the Professor confiscated her treasures. Since then, she has locked herself in her room and never shows her face to any of the ship's members, except when she needs food. Even the Professor said to leave alone until she's ready to show her face. Dearka was constantly worried and would check on her whenever she can. But he would always come out empty handed with no answer from her. Only once he did succeed only to get his whole body drench in water.

And this time round was no difference. Kisato total ignored and did not bother to answer their call at all. The boys gave up on her and went on their duties in the hanger. Only to their surprised that Kisato was already working her parts when they arrived at the hanger.

"We need to store Box 313 and Box 217 in the back hanger", the blond woman ordered. Little robots controlling the working machine were mostly doing the entire job while Kisato gave them the orders. "We need to bring ORB 898 and ORB 221 down. Hurry up everyone; we don't have the whole day for this".

"Very well done Kisato" Liam complimented, as he and Dearka came from behind her.

Kisato turn and smiled at them proudly. "Of course! I'm the only one that has been dealing with the goods coming and going on this ship", she said. "I'm not the only one that's going to be dealing with this right?"

"Why not, you have been doing just fine Ms. Kisato", Dearka laughed. He knows that she is feeling all better through the tone of her voice. "You did say you are the only one dealing them".

"Then I might as well take your share of the pay them Dearka", she said, giving him a gleeful smile. "I do need the extra money after all".

Dearka knows that he had stepped on his own landmine and bring his hands up as a surrender mode. "I understand. I'll do anything as long as it does not involve my pay", he said.

Both Liam and Kisato laughed at his reaction which Dearka join in last. All three has come to an agreement in the position they will be taking while dealing with the goods. Dearka will gather the files needed for the goods to be transferred while Liam would look them through and signed them. And finally, Kisato would give the orders and rearranging the rest of the goods. They were dealing with things just fine until someone realizes something.

"Didn't Lowe say that he needed the mechanics to upgrade his Red Frame?" Kisato asked. Dearka and Liam stop what they were doing and nodded at her question. "Then who is supposed to pilot the Red Frame out of the ship?"

"The Red Frame's Operating System was design for a Natural to use, isn't it?" Liam started. "So, shouldn't you be the best person to do it Kisato?"

Kisato flinched and shook her head abruptly. "There's no way I'm going on a mobile suit", she said. Then she had an expression like she has a good idea. "Why don't you or Dearka pilot it? Both of you are Coordinator right? It should be an easy task for either of you".

"That's where you are wrong Ms. Kisato", Dearka said. He was still going through the files and continued, "The Natural's Operating System and the Coordinator Operating System are both very different system. Even a coordinator has enhanced genes they are still unable to operated something that are design for a Natural".

He felt strange when both Kisato and Liam did not say anything. He turns around and saw both of them were looking at him with a surprised expression on their face. "Did I say something strange?" he asked, thinking whether he got it wrong. "I'm sure that's how it is, isn't it?"

Liam snapped out of his thought and shook his head. "You got it right Dearka. But how did you know about it? I'm sure there's nothing on this ship that has reference on both OS system".

The Blond Coordinator looks surprise and began to search for an answer. "It just comes to me naturally", he said. He did not know where the answers came from and when he tried to search within him, he began to felt his usual headache and rubbed the bridge of his nose.

"Are you having your headache again Dearka?" Liam asked worriedly.

Dearka shook his head and smiled. "It's fine already Mr. Liam", he said. The headache disappeared as fast as it comes. "The headache is gone". He felt that he was about to be questioned or be forced to take his pain killer. "I'll go and inform Mr. Lowe about the needs to transfer his Red Frame", he said and quickly left the room.

Liam has wanted to ask him to visit the Infirmary for some medication but he gave up instead when he saw Dearka ran away.

Dearka has succeeded in making his escape. "I'm sorry for my behavior Mr. Liam," he said when he stops by the corridor to catch his breath. "But I have had enough of those pills".

After making sure that no one is coming after him, he continues his way towards the entrance and exit of the ship and saw the door after turning the left corner. He could head voices from the outside and knows that the door was still opened. He stops before reaching the door.

"Well, I was thinking of having the mechanics to do a little checkup on the Red Frame. Is it alright?" Dearka heard Lowe's voice. "Of course, I was hoping that there's no charging in this check up as well".

"Won't that make it a free check up? My side will receive a huge income damaged like this Lowe". He heard a woman's voice next.

That's definitely not the Professor. That must be the Chief Designer. What was her name again? He thought.

"Of course, I would only say those to an outsider. I'll see if any mechanics are free to check on the Red Frame, alright?" the woman laughed.

"Really? Thanks a lot Erica", Lowe said.

I see. Her name is Erica. Well, I guess it's my turn now, he thought. "Mr. Lowe, when are you going to pilot the Red Frame out? Ms. Kisato is getting really impatient here", he said as he walks out of the ReHOME.

The moment he shows his face, he felt three pairs of eyes was staring at him and he felt strange from their stare.

"De-De-Dea-" Erika gapped when she saw him.

"Dearka?!" Both the brunette young man and the navy blue hair young man exclaimed.

Dearka was shocked when they called his name. "Ye-yes!?" he said. Before he got a chance, the navy blue hair man caught him in a headlock. "Wh-what are you doing?" he asked.

"It's really him. He feels solid and warm Kira", the blue hair man said as he let him go.

"I know Athrun, I know!" The brunette approached him and gave him a hug that startled him. "We are so glad that you are alive, Dearka", he said. Dearka broke of his embrace and put on a defensive stance, which puzzled the young men. "What's wrong Dearka?"

"That would be my line", he asked angrily. "Who are you and what do you want. How do you even know my name?"

Both of them were shocked when Dearka throw them the question.

"Dearka, your memories-"

The sound of something dropping cut Athrun off before he could finish. All of them turn and saw a silver hair man dashed towards the blond man and grabs him by the collar and hauled him up.

"Dearka, you bastard", he shouted angrily but tears could be seen coming from the corner of his eyes.

Dearka was shocked at the silver hair man's sudden action and he is trying his best to break free from his grips. "Let me go you bastard", he said. "What is wrong with you people?"

Kira, Athrun and Lowe rushed towards them and quickly pulled them apart. The three has managed to separate them and Athrun is trying his best to hold onto the silver hair before he jump can onto Dearka again.

"Calm down Yzak. Just calm down", Athrun said, struggling to keep his hold.

"Let go of me Zala", the man growled angrily. He struggle under Athrun's grip but could not break free from them. "I have to tear this bastard up for good"

"What is your problem you silver hair freak?" Dearka asked angrily while messaging his sore throat. Lowe helps him up and he glared at Yzak. "What is the matter with you? Who do you think you are to come an attack me?"

Yzak was dumfounded. From anger he had turned to rage. He struggled as hard as he could to get free.

Kira could see Athrun was having a hard time in restraining the silver hair commander and decided help his friend out. They were about to bring Yzak away when Liam decided to come out from the ship.

"What's all this commotion about Lowe? I could hear them from inside the ship", he asked. He sort of understood the situation when he saw Yzak was struggling in Athrun and Kira's hold.

"I guess you could say we are having a little over-the-head reunion?" Lowe joked. "But you came at the right moment". He walks towards Liam and whispered something into his ears. Liam looks shocked and nodded his head.

"Dearka, why doesn't Liam take you for a little sightseeing around Orb?" Lowe suggested. I have something I need to speak to our hosts privately".

"Yes but-" Dearka glared at the silver hair man. "Alright Mr. Lowe! It's better than staying here and being murdered innocently", he grumbled.

"What did you just said Elsman!" Yzak said in a dangerous tone. Dearka walked passed them without looking at the silver hair man. Yzak is really pissed off right now and he could murder the next person he sees. "I'm going to kill you Elsman, mark my words", he shouted.

Like I care, insane mutt, Dearka thought angrily before disappearing through the door with Liam.

Lowe looks at trio with a serious look after his two have left the hanger. "There is something that I need to discuss with you about Dearka's situation", he said.

Yzak has stopped struggling. He and Athrun and Kira look at him with a confused look, Yzak has an angry look on him though.

"Dearka might look fine and healthy but he does not have any recollection about his past. In short, he has lost all his past memories".

"It seems that everywhere I go, it still reminds me of him", Miriallia sighs. "Even in the park".

Miriallia, who has been down with a cold for the past few days, has decided to visit the park for a little fresh air. But it seems that the cherry atmosphere, where it's filled with families and children playing around, couples here and there, having their private time with each other, only makes her feel more depressed.

She was like them once until she had lost everything.

= Flashback =

Tolle was her first love and he had die in the first Bloody Valentine war and she thought that she could never fall in love again after Tolle Koenig's death. She has vowed to love no one else until he came along into her life.

Their first meeting was not a pleasant one. Miriallia had tried to kill him because he has spoken on a sore topic that she was trying to forget. She has snapped when she saw the knife lying on the tray and though of killing him with it. Indeed she did try to do it until Sai comes in and stop hers from stabbing him with the knife.

She was really furious at that time and said, "Tolle … Tolle is gone. So why is this guy still here, alive?"

Flay was also in the room and saw the whole situation. She has managed to grab hold on a pistol and was about to kill him on the spot when she had jumped in and saved him. After that he was sent to the prison quarters. Throughout their mild conversation, Miriallia has found out that it was all a misunderstanding and he was not the one that killed Tolle.

Since then, she had been bringing his food to him until the day when he was released. She was reluctant to let him go at first but has to because the war is still going on.

She took a deep breath and threw him his pilot suit. "You are free to go", she said.

"What? No court martial or anything?" he asked. Miriallia shook her head and left the room. "Oi! What going on? What going to happen to this ship?"

Miriallia turns and look into his violet eyes. "The Archangel is going to war with the Earth Alliance. If you don't wish to get tangled in this, then you better leave", she said.

"War with the Earth Alliance? I thought this ship belong to them. This ship is a mess", he didn't continue when he saw her glares. "I guess I better leave then. Wait, what happen to my Buster?"

"The Morgenroete has taken custody of it. It belong to us originally", she said and continue her walk. But she was stop when he grabs her arm. "What the? What is it that you want?" she asked angrily.

He looks at her with his worried violet eyes and asked, "What about you? Are you going to war as well?"

"Of course I am", she said and shook her arm free, "I am the Archangel's CIC after all".

She had left him there and went back to her post then. She thought that it would be the last time that they were going to see each other again. It hurt her at first but she was fine after. She loves Tolle and no other.

But fate doesn't seem to cooperate with her when the Buster saved the Archangel from being destroyed. It was him that's piloting it. She didn't know why but she was happy that it was him that saved them. That means that he's going to fight with them. Since then, he has fight alongside the Archangel, Kusanagi and Eternal the war comes to an end. The world was in peace once again and that's when he was called back to the PLANTs.

The day before he left, he had asked her out for a little walk in park. They were silent the whole time until he saw a chili dog cart. He dashed over and bought one form himself and one for her.

"My treat", he said. After taking her share, he took a huge bite from his and has a blissful look on his face. "This is the best chili dog that I have eaten. I think it's even better than the one in the PLANTs".

= End of flashback =

Miriallia smile upon thinking of the memories they shared together. The time they shared together might be short but it was still fun. They had occasionally exchanges mails, asking about each other's situation. She was happy just knowing that he was fine and dandy.

But not anymore! She could no longer see his cheeky smile, his blushing face, not anymore.

Tears began to wield up again. Miriallia did not hold them back and just let them fall. "Why Dearka? Why didn't you come and say goodbye?" she sobbed.

The more she thinks about him the harder the tears came. She was begun to feel dizzy as well from her messed up thoughts and her emotions were still jumbled up.

She does not know where she could turn for help or for comfort. The last time it was from him, because he was always by her side and showing her his cheeky smiles and telling her that everything is going to be all right.

Her vision is getting blurry by the minutes. Was it her tears or was it the heat? She does not know. All she knows is that she's getting really tired and her eyelids were getting heavy.

The last thing Miriallia remembers was feeling a pair of hand holding onto her and seeing a pair of familiar violet eyes.

"De-Dearka?" she mumbled before everything black out.
