Kira stood in the Excalibur's massive hanger deck, silently watching as the many new fighter jets where taxied into their respective bays.

Kira looked over to one particular plane, a pink-and-red colored F-22 Raptor, which was leaving a thick trail of black smoke in its wake, and saw the pilot stand up in the cockpit before then climbing down the ladder. He could tell the pilot was female. Kira silently watched as she removed her helmet and shook her head from side to side, letting her brunette hair fall to her waist, before finally inspecting the damage that had been done to her aircraft.

It was then that Kira knew who she was; Mayu Asuka.

Mayu sighed as she removed her flight gloves and stuffed them into her helmet, she then turned away from her Raptor, walked towards Kira and passed right by him as though she hadn't even noticed that he was standing there. Kira smirked as he watched her walk away, taking note of how her ass moved in her black fight suit with each step she took.

"Hey, Yamato!" Said an all to familiar voice. Kira turned to find Shinn Asuka, Mayu's older, over protective brother.

"I saw that!" Shinn said as he stood in front of Kira.

"Why, what ever do you mean, Shinn?" Kira said feigning innocence. Shinn just scowled as he grabbed Kira by the collar.

"You listen and listen good, Kira! Stay away from my sister! You already have five girls in your little harem! I bet you think about sex more than finishing this war!" Shinn said in a stern voice.

"You shouldn't listen to rumors, Shinn." Kira replied as he looked at the other Gundam pilot, a playful grin on his face.

"I'm serious, Kira! Stay the hell away from her!" With that Shinn released Kira from his death grip and walked after Mayu.

A few hours later, a loud, metallic ringing echoed through the massive hanger bay as the Divinity Gundam's replacement right hand was attached to the machine's forearm, once again concealing the three-bladed claw within the forearm of his Gundam.

To the left of the powered down Divinity Gundam were thirty mobile suit cubicles, the first five cubicles held Dagger Ls. Ten other cubicles held GuAIZ mobile suits and the final fifteen cubicles held various Gundams; Akatsuki, Justice, Infinite Justice, Cherudim, Arios, Seravee, Exia, 0-Gundam, 00-Raiser, GN Archer, a pair of Destiny Gundams and the Wing Gundam Zero.

Across the hanger, the Akatsuki's CIWS compartment swung shut, and Cagalli finally let go of the crane controls, heaving a sigh and running a hand through her hair. "I wonder what we're going to do after this conflict is resolved."

Meanwhile, a few decks below the hanger bay, on the Excalibur's spa deck, Mayu Asuka's train of thought was broken as the sliding door opened with a hiss, followed by soft footsteps. Mayu's violet eyes shot open and she quickly moved her hand from between her legs as she turned around to meet the amethyst eyes of Hope Yamato, and when Mayu looked into Hope's eyes, the clone of her secret crush smiled knowingly.

Much to Mayu's relief, Hope hadn't noticed that she had been playing with herself only seconds earlier. Hope simply smiled as she carefully lowered herself into the hot water, her ankle-length hair quickly soaking up the water before slowly sinking below the surface. Mayu instantly blushed and looked down at the water, although she could not help but spare the occasional glance. Compared to Mayu, Hope was perfect, and they both knew it.

"I don't stand a chance." Mayu finally said, unintentionally speaking her thoughts after six agonizing minutes of silence.

Hope blinked, confusion obvious in her words. "What do you mean, Mayu?"

"You and I both know that I'm not good enough for Kira." Mayu whimpered.

"What makes you say that?" Hope asked.

"Oh, come on, I mean look at me!" Mayu answered, still fighting back her tears. "Compared to you I'm nothing. You have everything going for you. Perfect skin, long slender legs, an adoring face and your a C-cup to boot." Mayu sniffled as her head drooped, tears now sliding down her cheeks before falling freely into the water.

"You know Mayu, I didn't grow up to look like this, I was made like this." Hope said as she looked at the younger girl.

"What do you mean?" Mayu asked, clearly confused.

"I was genetically engineered using Kira's DNA as a base. In short; I'm a female clone of him." Hope answered, before moving to sit beside the younger woman.

"Wh-what?" Mayu asked, not sure that she had heard Hope correctly.

"I'm a female clone of Kira." Hope repeated.

"But isn't that incest?" Mayu asked after a few seconds of silence.

"You can't help who you fall in love with, Mayu, it just happens." Hope answered. "I fell in love with Kira, with my clone and I'm not ashamed to admit it." She smiled slightly before continuing. "We love each other. Of course we're consenting adults, and that's the most important thing. We're not perverts. What we have is the most beautiful thing in the world." Hope paused for a moment before adding. "It's the same way with Cagalli, she is Kira's sister, and just like me, she is not ashamed to admit that she is in a relationship with him."

Mayu merely nodded, she already knew that Kira Yamato was in a complex relationship, or more accurately; a harem, with Cagalli, Hope, Lacus and Murrue, but at the same time, she still wanted to be part of that privliged group since she had a crush on Kira.

"So, you have a crush on Kira?" Hope smiled a moment later.

Mayu's eyes widened and her jaw dropped as she asked. "H-how did you know?"

"I can read your mind." Hope answered. "Kira, Cagalli, Lacus and Murrue also have the ability to read minds, but we very rarely utilize it." The amethyst-eyed beauty continued as she straddled Mayu, while at the same time, binding the ankles and wrists of the younger woman with her beautiful ankle-length hair.
