Archangel Brig.
"I'm surprised to see you again after last time I figured this was the last place you'd want to be in," Dearka Elsman said as a tray of food was slid under the cell door by the brunette on the other side.
"I know you weren't the one who killed my boyfriend Tolle and I personally don't have any negative feelings towards coordinators. The only reason I'm will the Earth Forces is because a friend of mine, Kira Yamato decided to fight against his own people to protect us," Miriallia explained leaning against the cell divider.
"Wait a minute! You mean the pilot of the Strike's a coordinator!" Dearka gasped almost choking on his food. "If Yzak knew that he probably wouldn't have destroyed that shuttle,"
"You mean that shuttle when you were falling through the atmosphere? They were only refugees from Heliopolis that Kira rescued after it was destroyed. All this destruction because of the Earth Forces fired the first shot," Miriallia sobbed hugging her legs to her chest.
"I don't suppose you could tell me what's happened with my Buster?" Dearka asked.
"We brought it onboard after the battle but it hasn't been taken off yet. Shinobu's been tinkering with it since then," Miriallia answered.
"Shinobu?"
"She's Heero Yuy's sister, you probably know him as the pilot of Wing-Zero. She's also Kira's girlfriend but we lost contact with him in the attack as well," she explained not knowing why she was talking with this guy.
"I don't despise naturals like some coordinators do, my reasons for fighting was so I could protect the people I cared about in the Plants and like the obedient soldier I go and kill naturals. God I'm sick of all this fighting," Dearka said his meal forgotten. "But at least now I know why Athrun kept insisting we capture this ship instead of destroying it,"
"Care to explain that reason?" Miriallia inquired.
"A few days ago we received a transmission from the Plants were Lacus Clyne was kidnapped from her own bedroom at night. The men who kidnapped her wanted Heero to fight in an operation our forces have been planning for a while now. And these guys were well prepared, they had seven Ginns at their disposal but Wing-Zero tore them down easily. Heero killed all the kidnappers that night and that happened a week ago right after Heero openly defied Chairman Zala in front of the entire council. He called Zala a racist bastard and said if he found out his sister was killed by ZAFT forces he'd destroy both sides. But Chairman Zala doesn't care about this ship, he only cares about killing all naturals which makes me agree with what Heero said about him," Dearka chuckled glancing at Miriallia for a brief second. "I know now's not the right time to say this, but I happen to like brunettes,"
"Excuse me!" Miriallia exclaimed balling up her fists.
"Hey I meant no offence, I know you're grieving for your lost boyfriend and I've got no right to try and move on the situation," he explained standing up with his legs slightly spread. "If it makes you feel better go ahead and kick me, I just have a habit of putting my feet in my mouth when I'm around cute girls I've just met,"
"I think you swallowed both legs you jerk!" she huffed in anger, extending her leg through the bars and nailing him hard in the crotch.
"Oooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Dearka moaned crossing his eyes as he held the bars, trying to keep himself on his feet despite the pain. "Feel better?" he asked his voice several octaves higher.
"Much better," she smiled sweetly.
"Glad to hear it," he replied dropping slowly to his knees. 'That's the first time I've had my nuts kicked by a natural. So why the hell do I want her to kick me again?'
Heero's POV.
Lacus' House.
6:30 pm.
"Hello, what do we have here?" I asked looking at a new ZAFT Mobilesuit on my computer. "Very impressive," (A/N: Guess which one.)
"What's this Heero?" Lacus asked leaning against my back with her arms around my neck. "A new Mobilesuit?"
"Not just any Mobilesuit, this one's a Gundam and it's got something called and N-Jammer Canceller making it nuclear powered," I answered obvious to her bikini clad body pressed against me. "Zala must really want a quick end to the war if he's going to these lengths. Interesting, it has over four times the power of the Strike. Is Kira awake yet?"
"No, he's still sleeping," Lacus replied planting soft kisses on my bare shoulder. "I wonder how he got those injuries,"
"He was fighting against Athrun a couple days ago. They both managed to get some good hits on each other, but the Aegis scored a direct hit to the Strike's torso slashing the cockpit open. Then Athrun transformed the Aegis and hoped to use its Agni cannon to destroy the Strike but Athrun ran out of power so he used the selfdestruct and escaped before it went boom. The Strike survived but the cockpit was exposed to the blast and believe me, I know what it's like to be close to an explosion like that," I explained relaxing immensely from Lacus' feathery touch. "He'll be fine in a few days but Operation Spit-Break is scheduled to commence by that time,"
"The Earth Forces will have sent most of their own forces to Panama leaving their headquarters almost defenceless. It'll be Chairman Zala's first victory as Supreme Chairman," Lacus sighed noticing my frown. "Something wrong?"
"Before I came to the Plants I picked up a communication to Commander Le Creuset about something the EF are planning. Would have thought he told Zala about it but something doesn't feel right. Le Creuset knows something," I replied my fingers furiously typing away, trying to access anything on the Earth Forces Alaska base. "Oh that's not good,"
"What, what's wrong this time?" Lacus asked trying to make sense of the data on the screen.
"I think I'm hungry," I said, my mouth curving into a full blown smirk.
"Well then I can't have my boyfriend going hungry now can I?" she teased heading into the kitchen wearing her baby blue string top bikini and matching sarong.
'What did I do to deserve having her as my girlfriend?' I wondered as she disappeared behind the door. 'The smart thing to do would be to marry her right now but if she were to die I'd have nothing to live for. And if I die to protect Shinobu, Lacus won't know if I'm dead or not. Zala might tell her I died in battle as a traitor, but I'm not likely to die when I've got Zero at my side. Better check on Kira while I'm waiting,'
After leaving the aquarium Lacus got a bit daring and undid the top button on her shirt giving me a nice view of her breasts encased in a lavender lace bra and blushing the same colour as a strawberry, it was so adorable I just wanted to get her an ice cream and hope it dripped down her chest so I could lick it off. We were about to go for a paddle boat ride when her father rang saying Kira had arrived with Reverend Malchio a friend of their's from Earth. I later found out that Zero hadn't told me about Kira's arrival because he wanted Lacus and me to enjoy ourselves. When I found out how he had been injured I couldn't blame Athrun for wanting to kill Kira and visa-versa, I would have wanted to kill Athrun if Shinobu had been in the second Skygrasper with Tolle. Zero was already peeling through the layers of encryption to hack into the Earth Forces computer network starting with Alaska, something was telling me the EF knew Panama wasn't ZAFT's real target. If I knew the reason I could somehow stop the attack or warn the ZAFT forces, but if the Earth Forces won the battle which they would if I did nothing, Zala would only use the loss to plunge the Plants deeper into the war and destruction.
"Something tells me you can't decide which path you will take," came the calm voice of Reverend Malchio, sitting at the table next to Kira's bed.
"I have a feeling the Earth Forces will somehow win the upcoming battle which will eventually lead to the genocide I want to prevent. But I don't know how I can do that," I replied straightening Kira's blanket.
"First you must decide what you fight for, then you must have the strength to fight for that reason. So what is your reason for fighting?" he asked.
"I fight to protect those who are most precious to me and to put an end to the fighting, but I can't fight on my own. If only I had some other allies besides Lacus and her father," I answered noticing a picture on the table of a man dumping yogurt sauce on someone else's Doner Kebab.
"Siegel informed me that picture was taken yesterday and the man in the picture has been to that same café for the last three nights," Malchio informed bringing a cup of tea to his lips. "Perhaps he can be an ally to you,"
"That's if Lacus doesn't burn the house down first," I said smelling smoke coming from the kitchen.
In The Kitchen.
"So what exactly were you trying to cook here Lacus?" I asked holding a frying pan with the charred remains what resembled some kind of meat.
"Left over steak, but I guess I used too much oil," she replied sadly as the house staff attended to the mess.
"Then I guess we're eating out tonight. Why don't you go put those really short shorts on and some sandals. I'll wait for you in the car," I said dropping the pan on the counter, pulling her sarong off as she walked past me. "You might want to take this with you,"
Disclaimer: The reason this chapter is so short is because I'm having trouble thinking up ways Heero can manipulate Zala and the Earth Forces. If anyone has any suggestions please suggest them or someone won't get a new character to be Flay's boyfriend and Heero's rival. See you all in chapter 14 I hope.
