Gundam SEED: Fateful Encounters
Chapter 6: Getting to know each other
The chapter opens in an island where Justice lands. Athrun was leaning in a rocky wall near the seashore. He watch the sun going down. Cold breeze passed and his navy blue hair flew backwards. He close his eyes and let the wind touch his arms and face. It's nearly 2 hours since they escape from the ZAFT Military where GINNs ambushed it. He felt guilty not being able to help his friends when they told him to escape. He don't even know the reason behind it. He opens his eyes when he hear some footsteps from his right side where a blond girl he met hours ago stands while looking also at the sun. She sit beside him and fold her knees to let her arms hold it. Deep silence had occurred until the blond girl breaks.
"I'm sorry " she says
Athrun looked at her confused.
"Why are you apologizing? "
"I p-put you into the mess "
He remembers the ambush. He looked at the dark sky and he sighs and looks at her
"Don't worry. No one's at fault."He said calmly making the girl look at him.
"I also apologize for sneaking into the military area. "
"Past is past. Besides, without you, I can't break all the invaders easily. "
She was surprised. She distance herself from him. Athrun saw the distance.
"h-Hey…"
" I'm a monster right? A monster who is too powerful. "She states seriously.
"You're not a monster "he said calmly.
"S-so you're not afraid of me? I mean, this is the first time I transfer into a gundam here on Earth. "
Athrun looks confused.
"What do you mean? You're not from earth?"
"Yes, I'm a being from a faraway planet. You could say I'm an alien. " she smiles.
Athrun chuckles. "Hahahaahha In that pretty face of yours, how could you be"
The girl blush and buried her face
"How could you"She muttered.
Athrun stops laughing
"Say, Uhmmm… I'm AThrun, Athrun Zala, one of the elites of the military "
The girl was shock by the sudden introduction.
"Athrun"
"yeah "as he grin.
" Ca-Cagalli "
"Hey, I can't hear you "
"Cagalli"
"Cagalli? "
"Cagalli Yula "
"What a unique name "
Cagalli pouted and turn her head to the opposite direction.
" Hey , uhmmm can I ask… Why did you become a spirit when the red gundam I'm piloting?"
Cagalli chuckles.
"Hahahah, it's because I'm the Gundam "
AThrun's eyes wide open. "What!?"
"The one that you're piloting is me, the Gundam form. "
Athrun blushed quietly.
"I have a mission in this planet. "
"What would it be? "
"To find my other SEED Sisters"
"SEED?"
"Yes, SEED, we are somewhat powerful that we became warriors in our planet. Until the Blue Cosmos destroyed my planet. "
"So, you're one of those powerful? "
"Yeah, I'm the Legendary SEED, Justice. My other sisters where names Legendary SEEDs, Freedom and Destiny. Someone says that my Destiny is here in the human planet so I take a tour. SEED Princesses must bond with a human to have greater power. "
"So, who did you bond with? "
"Don't you get it? It's you YOU Athrun Zala! "
Athrun's jaw drops.
Cagalli rolled her eyes "So from now on, we must stick together. "
"Bu-"
'And I really need your help in finding the two. Okay? Tomorrow? "
Athrun had no choice left. He rubbed the back of his head and sighed.
"Okay, then , but first, where should we go? "
"Let's go to Heliopolis first! There's a rumor that an advanced-looked gundam had appeared and save the city. " She grins
"Heliopolis huh… But I need togo to Orb-"
"ORB!" Cagalli was shock.
Athrun nodded.
"Let's not travel to ORB please! "
"O-okay"he just nodded without asking question.

The next morning…
Athrun walked up and was surprised to see Cagalli stand infront of him and crossing arms.
"What? "
"I'm waiting for half an hour for you to wake up! "
Athrun looked at the sky.
"It's still dawn. Le-"
"hephep heeeep, We need to go earlier so that no one can detect us. "
"O-okay…"
They were now standing face to face in the seashore…
"So, can you transform now ? "
"Okay…"
" So, how will you transform? Don't tell me you need to k-"
Cagalli punched him in the stomach.
" That's for emergency purposes, you idiot! "She yelled while blushing and glows and floats.
Athrun watch as wings came from her back and begin to wrap the two like a ball. The ball became larger and larger. Winds came from it. Then pop! The ball disappeared revealing the Justice in one knee. The eyes flashed yellow. In the cockpit, we saw Athrun seriously sit and focuses.
"Need to say the launching? " Cagalli asked him.
Athrun smirks
" Can I? …. Athrun Zala, Justice, LAUNCHING! " as the red gundam Justice departs from the island going to the east facing the rising sun.
Sorry for short. XD
