Chapter 7: Earth Alliance? What the fuck is that?
The two SEED bearers walked into the Hangar Bay of the Archangel slowly. They were soon welcomed by EA (EA is going to stand for Earth Alliance from now on) soldiers with their guns raised and pointed at them.
"Lower your weapons." Cpt. Ramius walked up behind the guards, followed by a few familiar faces and a few new ones. All of them have similar emotions written on their faces: confusion, relief, disbelief, excitement, etc.
The guards followed the orders willingly, a slight sense of déjà vu in their minds. As soon as the guns were lowered, some old friends ran towards them, with Flay in the lead, but were held back by the guards. A sudden surge of hatred welled up within Kira's consciousness, wanting to step forwards and rip the red head into pieces.
No, Kira. Not now. Lacus' voice came in time to stop his actions. Remember, we're not aiming to destroy these people, but to persuade them.
Can we persuade them after I kill her? Kira asked, still hopeful.
No, Kira. You know you can't do that.
The response was a simple sigh followed by, I swear: you're the only person in the entire universe that can influence me like this right now.
This drew a smile from the pink-haired princess as she replied, I know.
Murrue and Mu walked through the crowd, pausing in front of the couple. Both of them wore genuine smiles.
"Hey."
"Hi." Wow, intense…
"It's good to see you, Kira."
"Yeah" and extremely awkward as well.
I must agree.
Murrue took her eyes off Kira and looked at Lacus. " So, Ms. Clyne… I take it that you were kidnapped by Kira?" She said, trying to lighten up the situation.
"Yeah, for the rest of my life." That confused the brunette a little, "We're engaged." She explained.
"Oh, I see. Well, congratulations." She quickly replied.
More awkward silence…
"So, how did you two get here anyways?" Mu's voice cut the disturbing silence, referring to the sudden appearance of the two teenagers on the platforms. Murrue made a personal note to thank him later.
"Mobile suit." Kira replied, drawing curious glances from others," Mirage Colloid." He added.
"Oh, I see. And where's the suit now?" Mu continued.
"On the platform." Kira answered again. After a few seconds of confused looks being traded among the crowd, he repeated the two words, "Mirage Colloid." God, are they dumb or what?
Probably.
"Captain, I think we need to talk." Lacus spoke, referring to the four of them," privately." The blonde and brunette nodded, and they marched out of the hangar in silence, escorted by guards.
That was THE most retarded situation I've ever been in my life. Kira said, letting out a sigh.
Oh, it wasn't that bad. At least they didn't throw us off the ship.
I would have ordered M3 to blow the ship up if they tried anything like it.
What happened to protecting friends? Lacus asked, already knowing the answer.
I've given them more lives than a cat. And you're the only one I need. Kira replied, placing his lips over her forehead in a light kiss and wrapped his arm around her waist. A giggle was rewarded for his efforts, and smiles traded.
Behind them, a furious-looking red head stared holes in Lacus' back. How dare you steal Kira away from me! You'll suffer the consequences.
Oh, boy… Things are heating up…
ORB territory: Aboard the flag-ship SLEEPING LIONESS:
In Athrun's temporary quarters:
"So basically, you lost everything." Cagalli remarked with a wicked smirk, mixed with a hint of lust in her eyes. She is attracted to him, in many ways. (Since not every ZAFT soldier have the ability to stop one's self from raping a half-naked girl on a castaway island.)
"Can we stop this discussion?" He pleaded, not just for his ruined male ego.
"No. Do you have any idea of what the suit is like?" She pressed on.
"No, but there were two people in the suit."
An eyebrow raised, "And how did you know that? Let me guess, X-ray vision?"
A grunt, "Not funny, Cagalli, I only heard two different voices over the comm. that's why I know."
Both eyebrows rose, "Wait, you talked to them? Why did you leave this piece of information out?"
A sigh exhaled, "No! I was talking with Yzak and heard chuckles and a giggle."
"Oh, I see… can you tell who they were?"
"What? Are you nuts?"
"No, just asking." The blonde sat back in her chair, "Come on, at least their age group?"
The blue-haired hesitated before answering:"I think, and I mean that I THINK that Kira and Lacus were the pi…" He let the last part slide away as the girl in front of him stood up. Judging by the expression on her face, he automatically covered his ears with his hands.
She didn't disappoint him, "WHAAAAAAAAAAAT?" The shriek penetrated the thick walls around them and sent shivers down everyone's backs, waking several others in the process. "EXPLAIN!"
Uh oh, the sleeping lioness is fully awake…… The crews of the Sleeping Lioness are also awake……
PLANTs: Aprillius:
PLANTs' new chairman: Patrick Zala just had a heart attack. The Damned problem is getting worse every year. He thought as he popped some medicinal pills and swallowed them quickly. Why doesn't being a coordinator cure heart attacks? He thought. Heart disease was the only type of disease that coordinators aren't born to be resistant of, since no matter what precautions you take, a scare at an early age or sudden temperature change can still cause heart attack in later life. This time, the reason for the sudden attack was the loss of Justice and Freedom, along with the two pilots. Recovery teams sent to investigate the island didn't find anything, except some traces of the mobile suits. (The dents the suits left in the sand)
Damn… things aren't going well, first Regenerate and Testament, then GN01, now Freedom and Justice too? There better be a way to fix things up… Standing up, Patrick stepped around his desk and pressed a switch on the monitor.
"Get me Le Creuset." He said.
"Right away sir."
Providence is the only one left, huh? "And scramble search teams for the Freedom and Justice. Tell the teams to leave as soon as possible."
"Yes sir."
Things would have been so much easier if Regenerate and Testament weren't stolen. He thought. Athrun… I hope you're alright… Lenore… Your revenge will come soon… I promise you. As he looked out the viewport and sees the GENESIS being checked for final configuration. Damned naturals.
Earth: Josh-A:
Aboard Archangel: In an interrogation room: (not being use for interrogation)
"So, what's so important that you want to talk about in private?" Mu started as they sat down across from each other.
"We want you to exit the EA and fight for us." Kira replied.
The answer he got was slackened jaws and raised eyebrows. "You serious, kid?"
"Yes."
"Do you have any good reasons?" Mu continued. Why am I even considering this?
"Yes." Do you think they'll be easy to persuade?
I don't know. Don't phrase your words too harshly.
Alright.
"Well, let's hear them."
"Earth Alliance is not worth fighting for. They were going to blow up the whole Alaska base along with the ZAFT invasion forces. If we hadn't come in time, you guys would already be dead."
"What?"
"Why did you think they told you to remain here when the Archangel is a space-classed vessel? They were trying to use you as baits for ZAFT to believe that this is the real deal. They already have another Archangel-classed ship in the lunar base, named Dominion. They don't need this ship anymore."
After a short moment of silence, Murrue spoke:" We need proof and information."
"Of course," Kira said, taking a small flash drive from his pocket. "All the information you need to know about is on this flash drive, ask us for more info if you need anymore. If you try to copy or move the contents on the flash drive, it'll automatically self destruct. And by the way, try to keep this between the people you know you can trust."
The two EA officers nodded and took the flash drive.
"Now, if you don't mind, we need to be somewhere." Kira said, as he stood up with Lacus' arm hooked through his and walked towards the door with the captain's consent.
The two walked back towards the hangars.
"Kira!" Flay's voice came from behind them and Kira tensed up immediately, trying to tell himself that killing her wouldn't help their situation.
Flay jumped in between the couple, breaking their physical contact, and pulled on Kira's arms, which he quickly jerked away. "Kira? Why are you with this coordinator?"
Calm down Kira, use words.
"Oh, hello there, Ms. Alster. Lacus and I are actually not coordinators, just so you know, and we're engaged. Now if you don't mind, we need to take our leave." Kira said calmly, as he place his arm back around Lacus' waist and continued to walk towards the hangars, leaving behind an angry red head.
Flay quickly caught up with them," You can't do this to me, Kira!" She shouted.
"Do what?" Kira turned his head around with a faked curious expression.
"We… we did it, didn't we?" the red head said hesitantly.
"Oh, you mean the one-night stand I had with you? Don't worry, Lacus already knows about that, no need to apologize." He said, turning around to walk once again, with Lacus leaning her head on his shoulder, enjoying the reaction. This is quite amusing.
Mhmm… Her expressions are priceless.
As the Flay stood their shocked, the couple entered the hangar bay. "M3, come in here and pick us up." Kira said into the comm.
"Understood." The mechanical voice replied.
After a few seconds, a blurry shape entered the hangar, and the two climbed onto the hand that's extended. "Alright, let's go." He said, as he gently lifted Lacus onto the outstretched hand. The workmen in the hangar watched in awe as the blurry outline of the suit flew out of the hangar without a single sound being made, with Kira and Lacus in its hand. They soon got into the cockpit after that.
So, how do you think that went?"
Not bad, I suppose.
Hmm… I think it's time we went somewhere more private.
Oh, aren't you going to meet your friends later?
Nah… If this goes well, they're gonna become my sub-ordinates. I can't afford to think them as friends anymore.
I suppose that's true.
So, do you want to?
Lacus smirks a little. Bring it on.
Kira raised an eyebrow. Really? I can last for hours you know.
I've already had first-hand experience of that. Lacus said, with a little blush forming on her cheeks.
Too true. "M3. Bring us to a nearby city, outside of CYCLOPS system's range. After we get out, wait in the sea. And provide us with some self-defense weaspons."
UNDERSTOOD
ROUTE PLOTTED
ETA ELEVEN MINUTES
THERE ARE PISTOLS AND AMMUNITION BEHIND THE CO-PILOT SEAT.
Lacus, get the pistols, will ya?
I got them Wow, neat She thought, and flashed Kira an image of the weapons.
Hmm… they remind me of the pistols they use in that Halo game.
Oh well. There's twenty-five bullets per cartridge. How much do you want?
A pistol and cartridge with two extra cartridges. "Are there any heavier weapons?" He asked the AI.
IN THE COMPARTMENT NEXT TO THE MEDICAL SUPPLIES
Kira personally checked that one, finding a few rifles with detachable sniper scopes, plenty of grenades, and a rocket launcher with two rockets. Wow, I wonder when I'll ever get to use these.
Let's hope we don't.
Me too.

Chapter 7 END
