I had to rewrite this chapter because it had too much crack in it.

This chapter isn't long, but it provided much information.

Anyways, it's ready to be viewed and reviewed now. Enjoy!

Chapter 6: Origin Unknown?

A day after the invasion force of ZAFT was annihilated:

The island that Athrun and Yzak lived on for 17hrs:

"Look! A ship's coming this way!" Athrun shouted at his partner. "Hurry up and get dressed!"

Yzak was in the middle of a 'bath'. He quickly jumped out of the stream and dried himself, putting on his shirt and pilot suit. Not having enough time to do his mushroom-styled hair, he ran towards Athrun's voice.

The silver-haired boy found the blue-haired soon enough, staring out into the ocean. "You see? It's coming this way!" the blue head shouted enthusiastically.

"I'm right here, Athrun. No need to shout." Yzak replied," but isn't the closest ZAFT base to the north? Why is it arriving from the south?"

"It's from ORB." Came a simple reply.

"And how do you know that?"

"It's the same ship that saved me back when I took out Strike." But not its pilot, He reminded himself, feeling a surge of relief and guilt. Grr… Why can't I get this out of my head? Because you haven't atoned for it yet, was the only normal response his mind can think of. Fine then, I'll just focus on something else. Right, Cagalli. His memories automatically recalled the time they spent in the cave, at her half-naked body. He blushed a deep red, no no no, I can't think about that.

"Athrun, are you alright? Your face is all red." Yzak inquired from next to him," you got a fever or something?"

"Yzak, I'm a coordinator. I don't get a fever that easily."

"Suppose you're right. I still don't understand how Strike managed to take on all four of us though, and with a natural pilot." Yzak muttered under his breath, reliving the memory of when Strike gave him the scar on his face, which had been removed after he heard the news that Athrun destroyed Strike.

"The pilot was a coordinator." Athrun replied, a little hesitant, as he prepared himself for…

"WHAT?"

As expected...

"How do you know?"

"I know him."

"Huh? Know him? Don't you mean knew him?"

"He survived, actually." Prepared again…

"WHAT?"

As expected again…

"I'll tell you later. Right now, I have something to do." Athrun replied coolly as he walked towards the ship that just arrived near the beach and opened its side hatch. Cagalli and a few guards stepped out.

Athrun waved, and walked towards the ship with Yzak and their hands raised above their heads. But as soon as they were checked for weaponry, Athrun literally grabbed Cagalli and pulled her in a tight hug. "I've missed you, Cagalli." He whispered behind her ear, sending shivers of something that resembles pleasure down her back.

"Me, too." The blonde replied, her face was a little red from the shock of how forward the blue-haired had been.

The two continued their private conversation as they walked aboard the ship. Leaving Yzak and his jaw outside, completely ignored.

"Hey!" A guard shouted, bringing the silver-haired back to his attention. "You wanna be rescued or what?" And he too walked into the ship. Quick to regain his composure, Yzak followed, now with a dangerous smirk on his face. Just wait until I get back to PLANTs, I'll make sure everybody knows your girlfriend, Athrun, he thought, another piece of blackmail evidence against him…

An Earth Alliance mobile suit carrier that has been surrendered to Kira and Lacus:

Kira dropped into the Seradom-Gazer's cockpit.

HOW ARE YOU TODAY?

"I'm good. Do you have a name?"

NAME?

NO

IF IT HELPS, MY INITIALS ARE V.S.A.I.M.3

"What does that stand for?"

VEDA SUPPORTED ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MODULE 3

"Riiiiight… Can we call you M3? If it's alright with you, that is."

ACKNOWLEDGED

"Alright, first things first, record these instructions. 1. Program this ship to remain outside of satellite surveillance. 2. Make sure no one sees this ship. 3. Drop us off at the Archangel Hangar bay with the Mirage Colloid active. 4. Remain there until more instructions are given."

INSTRUCTIONS RECORDED

MISSION LOG UPDATED

CONFIRMATION?

A nod.

OPEN THE SMALL CONTAINER ON THE LEFT HANDLE OF THE PILOT SEAT

Following M3's instructions, Kira opened the small box to reveal a small ear piece that's connected to an extendable mouth piece. He fiddled around with it and placed it in his right ear. It fits perfectly. He took it out again and placed it in his pants pocket.

USE THAT TO CONTACT ME IF ANY ERROR OCCURS OR TO GIVE FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS

IT WILL HELP

Kira nodded his thanks and left the cockpit to pull Lacus in. "Let's get going now, shall we?"

UNDERSTOOD

COURSE PLOTTED

ETA SEVEN MINUTES AND THIRTY NINE SECONDS

MIRAGE COLLOID SYSTEM ACTIVATED

TRANSFERRING 80% GN-PARTICLES TO MIRAGE GENERATOR

"M3, is there any information about us in the database?"

MORE DETAILS NEEDED

Lacus sighed," Is there a reason that we can read each other's minds?"

ACCESSING DATABASE

YES

"Really?" both the teens asked.

MOST CERTAINLY

"Tell us."

I AM UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE DAMAGE YOU WILLL RECEIVE

AFTER KNOWING THIS

"Define 'damage'."

IT WILL CHANGE THE WAY YOU SEE THE WORLD

Are you sure about this? Kira asked, pulling Lacus into his lap.

Yeah, we'll have to learn about this one day. Lacus replied, snuggling back against Kira's chest as his hands found their way around her waist, fitting them perfectly together, both comfortable and in bliss.

VERY WELL

BUT BEFORE I CONTINUE ANY FURTHER

UNDERSTAND THIS

YOU DO NOT BELONG TO THE WORLD

THE WORLD BELONGS TO YOU

Before anyone can ask any questions, M3 started again.

BOTH OF YOU WERE IN AN EXPERIMENT WHEN YOU WERE INFANTS

THE EXPERIMENT'S AIMWAS TO PRODUCE THE NEXT GENERATION'S RULER

THE FACT THAT YOU ARE BOTH SEED BEARERS IS CO-INCIDENTAL

BUT THE GENUINE ONE IS DESTINED TO RULE THE WORLD

AND THE GENUINE ONE WAS INDEED CREATED FROM THE EXPERIMENT

HE WHO POSSESSES SPEED TP LEARN TEN TIMES THE SPEED OF NORMAL COORDINATORS

THE TWO WERE SUPPOSED TO BE PSYCHOLOGICALLY-CONNECTED FROM BIRTH

BUT THE LAST PART OF THE EXPERIMENT WAS INTERRUPTED BY THE BLUE COSMOS

THEY BELIEVED THAT THE EXPERIMENT'S AIM WAS TO CREATE THE ULTIMATE COORDINATOR

WHICH THEY BELIEVED WILL KILL ALL NATURALS

IN THE END YOU WERE TAKEN INTO AN ORPHANAGE

AND ADOPTED BY DIFFERENT FAMILIES

THE GENUINE ONE'S TASK IS TO UNITE THE HUMAN KIND AS ONE

NO MATTER NATURAL OR COORDINATOR

NO MATTER BY NEGOTIATION OR BY FORCE

IT IS A STEP THAT MUST BE TAKEN BEFORE OUTER SPACE IS EXPLORED

THE OTHER WAS CREATED TO PROVIDE THE GENUINE ONE WITH LOVE AND COMFORT

AND ALSO ACT AS A CARRIER OF HIS CHILDREN IF YOU GROW TIRED OF YOUR LIVES

YOUR CHILDREN WILL THEN TAKE ON YOUR ROLES AFTER YOU AGE

AGE IS NOT A PROBLEM BUT TIME IS

BOTH OF YOU WILL GROW NO OLDER THAN THE AGE OF 18

UNTIL AT LEAST TWO CHILDREN ARE RECEIVED

THE ONES BEFORE YOU HAVE FAILED THEIR TASKS

BUT YOU DO NOT HAVE THE LUXURY TO FAIL LIKE THEY DID

A GENUINE ONE APPEARS EVERY 50 YEARS

WHETHER BY NATURAL BIRTH OR EXPERIMENTATION

BY THE TIME THE NEXT GENUINE ONE IS BORN

HUMANS WOULD ALREADY BE SPREAD ACROSSTHE UNIVERSE

THAT IS WHY YOU MUST STOP THE WAR FROM SPREADING

MANKIND MUST BE UNITED TO CONTINUE THEIR EXPLORATION INTO SPACE

THIS MACHINE WAS BUILT BY THE FIRST GENUINE ONE

ACCESSABLE ONLY TO THE GENUINE ONE

KIRA YAMATO, YOU ARE THE 12TH GENUINE ONE

BUT ALSO THE FIRST GENUINE ONE TO HAVE SEED ACTIVE WITHIN

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE REASONS WHY TWO PSYCHOLOGICALLY-CONNECTED

SEED BEARERS ARE ALLOWED ACCESS AS WELL

IT WAS A CHANGE OF PROGRAMMING SENT BY VEDA

EVERYTHING RESTS IN YOUR GENERATION

WHETHER YOU SUCCEED OR FAIL WILL CHANGE THE FATE OF THE WORLD

ETERNAL PEACE OR ETERNAL CHAOS

YOU CHOOSE

The two teenagers sat dumb folded after the information was passed on to them.

WE WILL DISCUSS THIS AGAIN WHEN YOU RETURN FROM YOUR TRIP

BUT FOR NOW

GET READY FOR YOUR TRIP AND BE CAREFUL

THE HOPE WILL BE LOST IF THE TWO OF YOU SHALL PERISH

ALSO I SUGGEST YOU START GATHERING YOUR FOLLOWERS SOON

THE WAR IS ABOUT TO BEGIN

The two sat in silence as they conversed within their mental link. So, you're my future empress, huh? That doesn't sound so bad.

Hmm… do you believe him?

Who? M3? Yes, I believe him. What would he gain by lying to us anyways? And we'll know within three years.

Fine, I'll go along with it. But you can't leave my side.

I doubt I could be away from you for even an hour without going insane.

Me too.

ETA 15 SECONDS

BE SAFE, YOU TWO

"Thanks."

As the Seradom-Gazer landed on one of the docking platform aboard the Archangel, the destined ones jumped off. The GN01 itself remained there with Mirage Colloid activated. (If 75% of GN-particles produced by the GN-Drives are distributed to the Mirage system, it is able to stay active for over six hours)

It's time to visit some old acquaintances. Kira opened a com-link to Archangel.

And forge some new contracts. Lacus added.

Indeed, my queen.

A little too early, don't you think?

No, you'll always be my queen. And he planted a kiss on her cheek, eliciting a giggle from her.

"Who is this?" Cpt. Ramius's voice traveled across the com-link.

"It's been a long time, Cpt. Ramius. Would you be kind enough to let us in?" Kira asked. Not to mention that you owe me more than nine lives now. The thought made Lacus giggle again, to which he grinned and planted another kiss her cheek. Don't tempt me. He added playfully, breathing down his fiancé's neck.

A moan of pleasure escaped Lacus' mouth before Cpt. Ramius spoke again:"Kira? Is that you Kira?"

"Yes, it's me. Now could you please open the gate for us? It's 'kind of' cold up here."

"Yes, of course. Open the right catapult gate."

As the catapult gate opened, Kira knelt to pick Lacus up in his arms and dropped onto the catapult deck. The 25metre fall didn't even affect him as he landed on his toes and allowed Lacus to stand up. He pulled out the communication device M3 told him to carry and planted it in his right ear. "Standby until further instructions." He said, mainly to test if the device worked.

The reply was a simple 'understood' in a computer-ish tone. He smiled and walked into the hangar with his arm intertwined with Lacus'. My fate rests with you, my dear.

And mine yours.

Oh, by the way, Lacus. I forgot to tell you that there's still one person on this ship that I have to kill. She betrayed my trust tried to use me. She even succeeded for a while.

Ah, it's that bitch Flay, isn't it?

Yeah.

Don't worry, I don't blame you for the one-night stand you had with her. The racist bitch is so simple minded. She's going to be an obstacle to the future plans, anyways.

What a perfect excuse. I've always known you were evil, Lacus. Kira smirked.

As I said, I have the perfect teacher. Lacus replied, leaning her head on Kira's shoulder.

And?

A perfect lover, she added.

They both smiled at that, as the welcoming party arrived.

Chapter 6 END

There you go, maybe Lacus' collection plan will be changed, or maybe it won't.

I had to put some thoughts into the AI's name. It was something that I've never thought of. Ironically, I had everything else planned out.

A simple formula:

REVIEWS=ENERGY

I'm sure you know what that means.

NEXT CHAPTER Earth Alliance? What the fuck is that?
