Chapter 2
After Athrun and the others arrived at the Archangel, they were really tired from all the fighting. Miss Murrue went to check with the other pilots to see if they're all right, most of them only have scratches but few of them got major injuries. She with the other crew took all the injured pilots into the nursing room. Athrun also helped with carrying the injured pilots, but he suddenly stopped because he saw Lacus with a worried expression. He came toward Lacus, "Where's Kira, Athrun?" she asked. "He…." Athrun stopped, Lacus was getting more worried when she saw Athrun's sad face because she knew that it meant bad news for her. "He was badly injured, and he was taken by the PLANTS," Athrun explained. Lacus was shocked to hear the news; she fell on to her knees and cried, Athrun kneeled down to calm Lacus.
Meanwhile….in the PLANTS…
After Shinn, Rey and the other pilots returned safely with the Freedom, all of the crews and other pilots celebrate their victory. "Why are they celebrating for? We didn't win at all," Shinn asked. "Just ignore them, you…better get some rest," Rey replied, but when Shinn had reached his room…he remembered his fight with the Freedom…he was so angry because he couldn't finish the Freedom because of some stupid order of keeping him hostage. "Why does the Chairman want to do with the Freedom pilot anyway…. he doesn't need to be asked questions…" Shinn exclaimed, "He needs to know the meaning of PAIN!" Shinn then storms of to where the Freedom pilot is being kept.
Before Shinn went to his room…
"You better get some rest," Rey said. Then Shinn went to his room. Rey then went to the Freedom to take the pilot to the prison room. He opened the pilot cockpit and saw the pilot covered in wounds…the glass on Kira's helmet broke and it made his forehead bleed, some of the controls broke and it stabbed Kira on the stomach, making Kira very badly injured. Rey didn't care that much about his wounds because he also has some private business with Kira, which is about the death of his father *name*. But Rey was able to hold his anger, so after he arrived at the prison room, he just threw him…not caring that he's in pain…"W-…what do…you…w-want… from me?" Kira asked while in pain. "…" Rey didn't answered his question, while he stand there he watched Kira in pain.
Soon the Chairman came, "Sir!" Rey exclaimed. "You don't need to be too formal, Rey…I thank you for retrieving him," while pointing Kira, "It was nothing sir," "You may leave now, I want to speak with the pilot alone," Durandal said. And so, everyone left the prison room, and there was only Kira and the Chairman that was in the room.
"It seems you took quite a beating, Kira Yamato," Durandal said with a calm voice. "…W-What do you…w-want?" It was very hard to speak for Kira, because of his injured stomach. "I just need to keep you captive so your friends at the Archangel will have some trouble…because for every battle, you are the one who always kept me from moving on…" Durandal explained, "and the reason to keep you captive was for you to not disturb us when we are trying to defeat your people." Kira was smiling at first, but then he laughed... "Why do you think this is funny…are you not worry that your friends may die in my pilots' hands?" Durandal asked. "You don't know anything about my friends don't you…?" Kira asked, Durandal wanted to answered that, but he knew that what Kira said was true, he didn't know anything about Kira's friends because sometimes his friends always do something that is always unexpected. "Well…they will do anything…and I mean ANYTHING, even if it's really dangerous, to save their friends or loved ones, including me," Kira said, and the whole room was completely surrounded by silence. But the silence didn't last long when Shinn came…"Why…hello Shinn, what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be resting?" "I wasn't tired…" Shinn was really shock when he saw the pilot who was being held captive, he never knew that someone like him would ever try to stop him and…would KILL someone so precious to him. Kira was also shock to see that the one who causes him trouble during the fights he had with the PLANTS would be Shinn… "Shinn…" Kira said while in shock, Shinn didn't say anything, he was just…too shocked.
