"Let's race!" A Bluenette said to his friend.
"Wha..?You against me? Dream on!" A blond girl said rolling her eyes mockingly.
"Hah you're just scared" The boy sneered.
"What?! Ok! You're on!" The blonde positioned herself ready to run; the boy took the place beside her.
"On your mark….get set…GO!" The two ran through the empty rocky road beside the riverbank with all their might. The blonde seemed to be on the lead, the boy following close behind, when suddenly they tripped and fell face first on the rocky ground. When the two recovered they felt the sharp sting all over their body and the warm blood falling from different places. The blond sat up and placed her knees near her face, tears threatening to fall as she gently blew the wounds on her knees. The boy stood up dusted his uniform and looked at his friend who still sat enduring the pain they both share.
"Are you alright, Cags?" He asked reaching out to the blonde, with voice full of concern.
The blonde shot him a glare "This is your fault!" she shouted looking at him then reverted back to blowing her knees. The blunette scratched the back of his head and remembered that he too had some wounds on him too, but not on the knees since he's wearing his school pants. The boy squatted in front of the girl and placed his hand on top of her head thinking that it would at least lessen the pain his friend is feeling. The blonde glared at the boy.
"I'm sorry I didn't know this would happen" He said smiling apologetically "I'm really sorry, Cags"
The blonde sniffed, her strong front slowly collapsing the glare gone only to be replaced by watery eyes which she tried to surpress. "It hurts…, It really hurts…."
"I know…I know…." He said patting the blonds head affectionately "Don't cry, we need to wash these wounds in the river. Can you stand up?" The blonde nodded. The boy stood up and extended his hand to the blonde, his happy behavior still alive.
"Here, come on Cagalli!" The blonde gave her hand and the boy took it gently as he pulled her up then apologized when he saw the girl winced. The blonde smiled faintly saying it was alright.
The two kids walked hand in hand not realizing that the pain was already gone even before they reached the river.
"As of now the total deaths have already reached nineteen, injured thirty-two. Out of six affected base only three received severe casualties, ten GINNS were destroyed and…." A white coat officer standing in the middle of a room enumerated the casualties that befall upon them in one of the most secured places in ZAFT yesterday. After enumerating many more and after saying the damages that needs to be repaired on the nearly stolen machine GAIA, he stopped but didn't leave the room.
"And where is the infamous intruder?" Athrun asked as he scanned the papers neatly piled up on his desk. Some of them by a red sign with a noticeable 'KIA' written on it.
"Still in the ICU, Sir" The officer answered standing straight in front of Athrun who was still reading the papers asked if unconscious. He replied in the affirmative.
"Her name is Stellar Louissier, right?" The chairman asked putting down the papers and directing his whole attention to the soldier in front of him "Have you got any information about her other that her name?"
"Yes, Sir. She's one of the remaining survivors of the Newtype projects the Naturals were forming during the war. She once fought with the Earth Alliance but then disappeared when peace was established between the Alliances. She was considered MIA at the time."
"And now she lives on by the name of Stellar Louissier am I correct?"
"Yes Sir. When we looked through the databases on Earth including ORB we found someone who lived by that name on their territory. Although there were some changes on the profile, She and the one here is the same person."
"Is that so" Athrun said as he stood up and walked to the window behind his chair. He looked at the people working, helping on the repairs being made to their base. "How about the other one?"
There was a long pause. "I'm afraid to tell you sir that we haven't found any information about her."
The officer inhaled "Unfortunately, she doesn't exist"
"So that's the only step we need to take? That's absurd Commander Joule!"
"Clearly our Chairman is still mentally unstable seeing that he was caught up in the middle of that ruckus" A woman said. The whole room resounded with chattering and angry voices.
"Everyone, I can assure you that our Chairman is in very good shape the same goes for his mentality and his orders are to stop any transactions with Earth as long as this case stands." said a silver haired white coat commander standing.
"They're clearly declaring war against us!" One of the council members said angrily.
"I say we ambush their HQ!" said another. The chattering endlessly continued "Those Naturals should pay for what they did!"
"Please, the Chairman said that no actions are to be made unless solid evidences are provided. Going into war without it will be just a disadvantage for Plants especially now that we are still maintaining a fragile truce with the other nations on earth."Yzak said as calmly as he could. "This situation is so not for me."
"The only evidence we need is that we cannot find any background whatsoever on the intruders. This is no simple terrorist attack or assassination attempt clearly they are washing off any records we can use as evidence against them."
"Those cowards!"
"But what if the intruders are not from them in the first place. Please consider the consequences if we were to just conveniently accuse them in front of the public without hard evidences. The long awaited peace we so hardly achieve will crumble with just that." said another council member.
The chattering grew louder as some stood from their seats into a heated debate.
Bang! "Will all of you shut the hell up!" Everyone in the room froze and diverted their attention to Yzak who slowly retreated his hands from the table as he straightened his posture
"I don't care what your opinions on this matter are, I'm only following orders as to what is required from my Job now if all of you are too stubborn to accept the decision of a person whose position is higher than yourself then by all means do what you want" Yzak started to head for the door, a green coat soldier following close behind "Besides I'm only a messenger" As soon as they got out of the conference room Yzak heard a muffled laugh coming from behind.
"Will you quit it!" The commander shouted as he walked down the hallway his laughing companion followed.
"Man did you see the look on their faces?" The tanned soldier said unsuccessfully suppressing his laughter.
"I'd rather not, and will you stop laughing"
"Yeah...Yeah" The tanned soldier recovered from his laughter "I got to tell you it's really funny but wouldn't this be reported to the Chairman? I mean a Commander losing his temper in front of the council is well...stupid?"
"Shut up! Whatever...more work for Zala"
"Haha! That's Yzak for you" He said as he patted his superiors shoulder happily.
"Don't touch me" Yzak shoved his friends hand from his shoulder "And that's Commander to you Elsman"
There are twenty seven floors of the Zaft HQ Main building and these floors are distributed into different levels, the first level where the office of the high ranking officers are, the second level where other divisions are stationed and the third level is the most lowest and the most secured part of the establishment and in one particular room, an unconscious blonde is handcuffed on a chair her hair bend down.
The room consists of only 4 adjoining grey walls, a surveillance camera facing the blonde near the top of the door, a speaker on the right corner of the room, a sink and cubicle and a door the same color as the walls surrounding it. Cagalli opened her eyes halfway, she blinked a few times registering the light that passed through her eyes then opened them fully, sleep still evident in her eyes. She raised her head and slowly turned from left to right.
"Damn" she cursed under her breath when she felt her wrist come in contact with the cold metal that binds her hands together behind the chair. She cursed again when she felt both her feet binded to each of the leg of the chair. Am I some kind of animal?
Cagalli sighed, what could she do at that situation? She let herself slump back. She faced the ceiling and closed her eyes trying to get some piece of mind even for a short while, her consciousness drifting off somewhere other than sleep. Without a moment's notice she suddenly remembered her training when she was still inside the 'Organization' the one that took her freedom away from her. She remembered the cold 4 walled room which served as her cage years before Kira found her. It was a room similar to the one she is currently in, the feeling is similar too.
The feeling that anytime soon a soldier will come in and force you to stand on the line between life and death.
The blonde opened her eyes, the life inside those fiery amber, gone.
The seemingly invisible door suddenly opened and in went a soldier with a tray in hand "Here's your food" he announced not waiting for a reply. The soldier scowled at the sight of the terrorist who killed so many of their friends sitting on the chair as to them working their heads off repairing the damage her and her affiliates did. As he came nearer at the blonde his urge to at least avenge their friends increased. Even with the consideration that she is still a fragile girl did not lessen his heightening anger. But he is still a soldier and is one of those who follow orders faithfully. And orders are to never touch the prisoner.
He took a deep breath calming him as much as possible. For now he would follow orders. Revenge would be saved for later. He stopped in front of the girl and looked down.
He clicked his tongue before placing the tray at the feet of the girl "If it wasn't for that order, you'd probably be dead, you should be thankful."
He didn't expect a word of thanks from the blonde but still waited for the girl to look at him but she didn't even move."Whatever" The soldier turned to leave "you'll be dead anyways, it's not like you'll ever escape he…"
Thud.
The soldier fell on the floor. The blonde lightly placed the metal chair on her side as she carefully bent down and rummaged the pockets of the unconscious soldier.
"How can I eat when my hands are bound, Idiot" she mumbled as she flipped the man on his back and checked his breast pockets.
When she found what she was looking for she frantically tried all the keys into the loophole of the cuffs that still bound her ankle on the leg of the chair.
A curse escaped her lips as she threw the multiple keys on her side she sat on the cold floor and raised her hand near the other and massaged it gently closing her eyes, she held her breath as her grip tighten around her wrist and with a short movement an inaudible crack was heard.
She grimaced at the pain of feeling her bones aligning then let out a shaky breath. She did the same on her foot. Shit. How dumb of me to think he holds the keys. Desperate, she reached for her bounded foot with both her hands, her eyes dead.
Crack.
"What the hell is happening here?" a man with black hair and red eyes asked as he stepped inside a room with multiple LCD with different images shown on each of the screen.
"I want 3 people there immediately. Secure the area!" A man clad in white military uniform barked orders at the personnel's around the room. He stood tall with his hands behind his back as he turned around to face the person who asked the question. He raised his hands to return the salute the visitor gave him. "Nothing we can't handle, Shinn Asuka"
Shinn stepped near the LCD and his eyes drifted to a screen where a room was shown. There were two people shown on the screen. One is a soldier wearing a green military uniform down on the floor and the other a blonde wearing a loose white shirt and pants who seems to be looking for something on the pockets of the man lying on the floor.
He watched at the screen realizing what is happening. He smirked when he saw the blonde stopped and sat on the floor and slowly raised her hand to the other. How pointless. Not knowing what the action of the prisoner on the screen meant, he continued to watch as the blonde reached for the boundless foot. His smirk left him as he watch the blonde reach out to the other foot and in a second forced it out of the cuffs it was bounded to.
"The heck! Did he just dislocate his foot?" His eyes wide. As he continued to watch at the unfazed person in the screen as the blonde reached at the dislocated foot now free of its cuffs. "I didn't even hear a sound or a cry!"
If that person was not a prisoner. Shinn might have thought of adding him to his list of most admired people.
"The guards are already on their way." The man said as he stood beside Shinn. The man glaring at the screen where Shinn's eyes were currently glued at. He sighed. "No one anticipated her to breakout off her chains like what she did, it's a good thing that we paid extra attention to her rather than the other one."
"...Breakout?...you don't mean...?" Shinn gaped at the man beside him like he just said someone had just jumped of a ten storey building and then walked out without any scratch.
"Yes, including the one you have just seen, she already broke three"
Someone really might have jumped off the building, unscathed. The whole ten storey.
"Wait, That's a girl?!"
Breath in. Breath out. Breath in. The blonde leaned beside the door of the room. Directly under the CCTV camera of the room.
Out.
She exhaled loudly as her gripped on the keys tighten. Any moment now, guards will come dashing in from those doors with guns in hand. She will have to pass them first to get out of the room. But they might not come in and just leave their comrade inside the room, lying unconscious. She doesn't know which is better.
She noticed that the camera above her now has started to move. Looking for the person that supposed to be inside the room. They might've already noticed that she is under the CCTV and is planning to attack when the device suddenly ceased to move. She took the soldiers jacket at hand and jumped as high as she can placing the jacket on the camera covering its lenses. Now they really need to go inside, no one in the right mind will let a room with a prisoner inside without any surveillance. Without any sound she moved to the other side of the door and crouched kneeling on one knee, waiting.
Without a minute later the door flashed open and in rushed one guard a gun in hand not noticing her on the side. Cagalli without any delay leapt at the person, the guard stumbling away from the open doors. Cagalli knocked the guard beneath her unconscious and took his gun from him. Then she noticed it was a tranquilizer in the form of a gun. Damn.
Another guard came in and pointed his gun at her. Might be another Tranquilizer. "Don't move!"
The blonde stood up and slowly raised her hand. And in a split second she lunged at the guard knocking him down and his 'gun'. Another one was running to them as he raised his 'gun' ready to aim at his prey. Before he was able to fire the blonde flung her arm as she threw something at the man.
The guard screamed falling on his knees as he let go of his 'gun' and placed both his palms on the now bleeding eye feeling the cold tip of the key that was flung to him sticking out from it. The blonde used the tranquilizer from the man she was straddling beneath her and used it on him. Immediately he stopped struggling. She then grabbed the 'guns' that were lying and immediately ran away from the room that held her leaving four immobile soldiers in her wake.
Cagalli ran and ran not even minding the CCTV that was hanging on the ceilings as she passed by. She has braved all sorts of missions that were assigned to her. She stole important blueprints from secret facilities, Hijacked Mobile Suits from a Military Base, Spied on some local high class rich people that one way or another has caused their downfall and many other things that she will not be surprised if people would throw a party if she would be beheaded in public.
Fortunately, No one knew her. And being beheaded in public was not a problem for her since she has never been caught before. Until now.
Cagalli then made a sharp turn but stopped on her tracks as she came face to face with several guards with 'guns' in hand and are directly pointed at her. She took a step back as she clutched her 'gun' thinking of other alternatives but as she heard more steps coming from other directions. Her facade faltered.
"Hands in the air" a soldier said as they inched closer at her.
She gulped biting her lower lip as tears started to form in her eyes. Was she ever going to be able to get out from here?
Before she can even think and drown herself in her feelings of helplessness. She felt her vision waver as everything around her became blurry she can hear voices but were not able to comprehend anything. Her face was now in contact with the cold floor. She knew anytime soon her consciousness will leave her. She tried to fight it by trying to focus her vision and concentrate on her surroundings even though she knew it was already pointless.
Consciousness started to leave her as several people crowd her, with the whole scuffle going on there was only one thing that she was able to comprehend from the people that tower over her motionless body.
Animal.
Then she passed out.
