I'm sorry that this chapter took so long.

But I have been sick the last two weeks. And I can't really concentrate properly on writing, when I feel like something the cat wouldn't even bother taking the time to drag in.

I'm sure that some of you guys out there can relate to that.

Chapter 14

It was a few hours after the married couple had finished having fun in their bathroom.

Both of them where now sleeping peacefully in each others arms, they had both been quite exhausted from both the big water fight, and what else they had been doing today.

So once they had gotten comfortable over on their bed, it had not take them much time to drift of to sleep.

Actually everybody living in the house was pretty much turned in for the night.

Which meant that none of them noticed the about twenty five men, slowly coming out of the quiet ocean, all of them dressed in a completely black diving suits. It only took them a few minutes then they where all standing up on the beach.

Looking up at the big house that was located not that far away from them.

And once they where sure that nobody had noticed their arrival, they instantly pulled of their diving goggles and throw them down on the sand, after that the oxygen cylinders was dropped from their backs, then the flippers was placed down by the rest of the diving equipment.

After doing that each of them pulled out a machine rifle and began getting them ready to fight.

"Ok let's go guys, if we are lucky they wouldn't notice us until it's too late, and make sure to kill everybody in there, we don't want to leave any witness' now!" The leader of the bunch said in a serious tone, while taking one more look up at the house to make sure that the light was still turned off.

Once he was sure that everything up there was still somewhat peaceful, he hurried began making his way towards the house, with the rest of his squadron following closely behind him.

000000

Meanwhile in the living room of the house.

Dearka was fast asleep on the couch with a thick red blanket over him, he had end up falling asleep there while watching the late night movie.

But even true he was quite far away in dreamland.

He slowly opened up both of his eyes and just laid there looking up at the ceiling for a small minute, for some reason he couldn't help but feel like something was not right, that something strange was going on.

And when he suddenly heard Haro's voice from down the hall he quickly throw the blanket away and took a small look over at the big watch that was hanging over on the wall, where he saw that it was slowly approaching three a clock.

"Damn, couldn't they have shown up a little early?" He muttered angrily to himself, as he began carefully making his way back to his room, where he had a few things hidden away, making extra sure to keep away from the windows.

He hadn't gotten very far before he ran in to miss Murrue and Waltfeld.

"Hey what's going on?" Dearka asked in a quite tone, while taking a small look over towards the closed window.

It was getting more and more obvious that somebody was out there, and that they where clearly trying to find away in to their home, which was not something Dearka liked.

It was Andy that answered the boy's question.

"I have no idea about who the heck they are, but they got nothing to do here, so hurry up and get your gun Dearka!" Andy said in a serious tone, before he turned around and ran off down the hall, obviously planing to make this a very painful experience for whoever was creeping around out there.

Seeing the man run off like that Murrue immediately turned her attention over towards the former Buster pilot, that was also looking after the Desert Tiger.

But once he felt her eyes on him he took one look over at her.

"Just wait here captain, I'll be right back" Dearka said, as he quickly disappeared in to his room, only to show up a few seconds later now armed with a gun in his right hand and a Uzi in the other.

Happy to know that the boy was ready to fight Murrue immediately took off towards her daughter's room.

But she did not get very far before Dearka began opening fire out of the window, clearly trying to stop one of the people out there. But it was only when he used the small machine gun, that he succeed in putting a few holes in the back of whoever the person was.

It was just about that time Mayu stepped out of her room and took a small glance around.

"Mom! What's happening out here?" She asked in a obvious scared tone, as Murrue quickly moved over to her and made sure that she wasn't an easy target for whoever those men outside of the house was.

"You go get Kira and Lacus, captain! I'll make sure to keep the bastards away!" Dearka said in a loud tone, as he again began shooting of his hand gun at one of the men out there.

But this time he was forced to take cover when the man he was shooting after began firing back, that however did not stop the boy for long and it only took a brief moment then he was once more trying to take the guy out.

Knowing that Dearka was more then capable of keeping those guys busy at least for a few minutes Murrue hurried reached down and took Mayu's hand in a tight grasp, then began pulling her along the rest of the way to the married couple's room.

Once there she immediately reached out and opened the door, and quickly dragged her daughter with her in to the room.

Once in there she hurried took a quick look around, to make certain that there was nobody else in there, other then Kira and Lacus that was still sleeping peacefully over on their bed.

Seeing that they where the only once presence in there, Murrue dropped Mayu's hand and walked the rest of the way over to the resting couple, where she instantly bent down and began shaking each of them.

"Wake up you two!" She called out in a loudly.

Now that they where in a soundproof room, she didn't care about how much noise she was making, there was simply no way those men out there could hear them in there.

But even true Murrue was speaking in such a high tone, neither Lacus or Kira showed any kind of movement Kira just rolled over and tighten his grip on Lacus.

And even true Murrue would normally have found that cute it frustrated her a great deal right now.

She was getting very worried about Dearka that was all by himself out in the halls, there was just no telling how long the boy could keep those men back, but she did however not get much time to think about that before Mayu ran with full speed towards the bed.

"GERONIMOOO!" The girl yelled as loud as she possible could, while she jumped towards the bed where she land almost on top of the sleeping couple.

And it did not even take a second before she was jumping up and down on the bed yelling loudly for them to wake up every single time her small feet made a big impact on the mattress they where sleeping on.

Which meant that it did not take very long, before they both opened their eyes.

And took a look up at the person that was making so much noise just beside them. And once they noticed that it was Mayu, that was apparently trying to make their bed fall straight down through the floor.

They both sat up and was just about to ask what she was doing in there, when the door to the room got slammed open and they all saw Dearka step inside.

"I can't hold them back much longer, we have to get going NOW!" The boy said while taking a quick look around the room, a small part of him feeling a bit annoyed that married couple was still not out of that bed yet.

But just as he was about to yell out for them to hurry up, the door to the room flew open once more and it was only a half second later, before Murrue fired of a few shoots directly in to the head of whoever the man was.

Seeing something like that happening, was more then enough to wake Kira and Lacus up completely.

"Damn, what the heck is going on?" Kira asked, as he reached down and picked up some of his clothes that had been laying on the floor since yesterday.

After that he turned and looked over at the three other people in the room, where he hurried explained to them that they where both naked under the cover.

Hearing what exactly the problem was, Murrue hurried reached out and took a hold on both Mayu and Dearka then dragged both of them along with her out of the room, so the married couple could get what little time they need to get some clothes on.

And it didn't even take a minute, before they came out of their chamber both of them now fully dressed.

Happy to know that they could finally get going, Murrue was just about to say something to them, when suddenly two more of those dark clad men showed up.

But just before Dearka or Murrue could even get their weapons ready to fire, two shoots could be heard from behind the two men, and it didn't even take a second before both of them where laying dead on the floor.

"I'm glad that you guys are all right, now lets get moving!" Andrew said in a angry tone, just as he throw Haro over to Lacus.

He knew how much the small robot meant to the pink hair girl, so once he had spotted him jumping around by the entrance of the kitchen, he had immediately taken the little noise maker along.

But it had been kinda hard to fight carrying something like that around, so he was more then happy to have both hands free again.

Truly happy to have Haro back, Lacus quickly thanked the one eyed man.

Just as one more of the dark clad soldiers showed his ugly mug, but before he could even get one shot of, he was taken out by a combined attack from Dearka and the Desert Tiger.

"Let's hurry and get down to the shelter, before any more of them can show up!" Lacus said in a slightly concerned tone, as she tighten the grip she had on both Haro and Kira's hand.

And with that they all began making there way down the hall, doing their best to keep away from the windows, luckily the big goon patrol outside didn't think that far ahead.

Which of course was something both Andy and Dearka was quick to used to their advantage, they kept on trying to take the morons out there down, every time they caught a brief glinted of them.

"Damn it there sure is a lot of them!" Dearka courses with a angry glimmer in both of his eyes, as quickly throw the now empty machine gun away, and reloaded the gun with a new round of ammunition, then fired of a few shoots out of a window the Desert Tiger had destroyed a few seconds later, doing his best to hit one of the guys out there that was trying to hide behind a tree.

But that was hard seeing as it was still pitch black out there and the unknown soldier did everything he could to stay hidden behind that damn tree.

Thankfully he kept him busy like that, Andy had more then enough time to plant a bullet or two in to the neck of the cowardly bastard, which immediately made him collapse out there.

Seeing that it did not even take a minute, before two former Zaft soldiers, had found a new target to shoot at.

And while they where doing that, Kira began talking in a loud tone, still doing everything to make sure to keep both Lacus and Mayu covered incase any more of the black dressed goons would show up.

But one small look at miss Murrue that was walking directly in front of them, was all he need to know that she was keeping a very close eye on anything that was not suppose to be in there.

"You are right Dearka, but I can't help but think about, is who the heck are those guys?" Kira said, while taking a short glance up at Dearka that was still busy firing his gun out of the window, obviously trying his best to keep the still approaching soldiers out there, away from their home, that by now was fill by a lot of nice holes from the machine rifles, the trigger-happy bastards out there was armed with.

Hearing the boy say that Andy hurried took a look over at him, where he saw that he was holding on to both Lacus and Mayu clearly planing to protect the two of them no matter what.

"I do have a hunch about who they are, but I really don't think this is the right time to talk about it, get down!" He yelled loudly, while quickly ducking out of the way, just as a rain of bullets came flying in through the window.

Once that got to a hold they continued the rest of the way to where the shelter was located in the house, fortunately for all of them they did not have much distance to travel before they arrived at their destination.

"It doesn't look like anybody is here!" Murrue said, while she began working on getting the door open, but she had just badly finished that sentence when a few more bad guys show up and began shooting at them.

"You spoke to soon captain!" Dearka yelled out in a angry tone, as he and Andrew Waltfeld began shooting back at the still attacking fools.

But what none of them noticed while they busy fighting, was that there was another soldier presence, that by now was slowly aiming his deadly weapon, at the pink haired woman, who was standing almost beside her husband.

But just before the soldier that was hiding out in the ventilation system could press down on the trigger. Haro jumped up from the floor and began yelling loudly at the strange man.

"I WILL NOT ACCEPT THAT!" The small robot yelled, making Lacus reach out to take a hold on the machine. But just as her hand was about to close around Haro.

Kira noticed the man aiming at his wife, seeing that he didn't even hesitate a second in running full speed towards her.

"LACUS!" He shouted loudly.

Just as he jumped forward and knocked her over, just as a single deadly bullet flew in and hit the floor where she had been standing only a half second ago, before Kira had pushed her out of the way.

But even true Kira was deeply relieved that he had been able to reach her in time.

He did not release her from the secure embrace he was holding her in, there was just no telling if the crazy bastard inside the ventilation system was going to fire at her again.

And it was only when he was completely certain that miss Murrue and Dearka had taken the man out, that he released the hold he had on her.

And got back up on his feet where he immediately reached down towards her to help her up, seeing him do that Lacus hurried grasped on to his hand.

As Kira pulled her along with him in to the shelter, where Mayu was already waiting for them with Haro sitting on her lap. And it only took a small minute, then everybody else was in there too, which meant that it did not take long before the two heavy doors flew shut once more.

"Damn that was tough!" Dearka breathed out as he dropped down to the floor.

Just sitting there trying to get some much needed air back down to his lungs, while at the same time looking around at the rest of them in there.

Kira was standing there with both of his arms wrapped around Lacus, so his hands where resting on her stomach, which he was slowly rubbing in a gentle way.

While miss Murrue was over beside Mayu talking calmly to her, obviously trying her best to ensure the small brown haired girl that everything was going to be ok and that there was no way those men out there could get in to this shelter.

Hearing that Mayu lifted her head away from Haro and looked up in to her mother's eyes, where she asked the one thing Kira had asked about a little while ago.

"Mom who where those men, and why did they have to destroy our home like this?" The girl asked holding on to Murrue's arm in a tight grib to make sure that she was there with her right now.

In all of Mayu's life she couldn't remember ever being this frightened before. It really had been terrible, especially when that one guy had tried to murder big sister Lacus.

And when she had seen Kira ran at her like that, she was afraid that the bullet was going to hit him in the back.

But much to Mayu's big relief, big brother Kira had been able to save both Lacus and himself from getting killed by that awful man, that had been crawling around in the ventilation system.

And just thinking about that was enough to make Mayu stand up again and run over to Lacus, which she immediately wrapped both of her arms around holding on to her tightly.

"I'm so happy that you are safe big sis!" Mayu said, as a few tears left her eyes and ran down her cheeks.

Seeing that, Lacus hurried dropped down and embraced Mayu, telling her that everything was going to be all right, and that she had nothing to worry about.

Seeing that Murrue couldn't help but smile a bit as she turned and looked back at Andy that was leaning up against the wall, also trying to relax after the short yet violent battle they had just been in.

"Those guys are Coordinators!" Murrue said, not once taking her eyes away from the Desert Tiger that slowly lift his head and looked right back at her.

"Yeah and they are not amateurs, those guys have definitely seen combat before!" Andy said, while thinking about how well organized those men had been fighting, and the weapons they had been using was clearly from a Zaft special unit.

He just wonder who the heck had ordered this. If those guys really was from Zaft, then it had to be one of the high-ups, but who?.

It was just about that time Kira moved his eyes away from Mayu and his wife, slowly turning his attention over towards Dearka and Andy that was standing beside each other.

Both of them obviously trying hard to figure out who those men where.

"So what you are saying is that those men where from Zaft, but what in the world are they doing here?" The brown hair boy asked in a angry tone, while thinking about how close those dark clad men had been in killing the woman he loved.

Looking over at the boy for a second or two Andy slowly lift his head, and took a glance over at Lacus that was still busy hugging and talking with Mayu that was still shaking slightly after everything they had been through.

Not that anybody could blame the little girl, but after watching them for a brief moment, he again turned his gaze back to Kira.

"From what I could understand those fellows out there where going after her!" Andy said while giving a small nod in Lacus direction.

Which was more then enough to make both Kira and Dearka look over at the pink hair girl, and just as the husband of the girl was about to ask why in God's name they where trying to get Lacus.

Dearka took a single step closer towards the Desert Tiger, with a deep angry frown on his forehead.

He did not understand why anybody would want to murder such a kind person as Lacus, she was one of Miriallia's best friends, and Dearka would surely be lying, if he said he did not care about her too.

She was always such a kind person that was so easy to get along with, and the few double dates Miriallia and him had gone out on with the two Yamato's had been quite fun.

And that's why it really made his blood boil that somebody was trying to kill one of his best friends wife, and if they tried to get in here he was surely going to beat the crab out of them, that much was certain.

"But why the heck would they want to kill her, she hasn't done anything to anybody?" Dearka asked, not bothering at all to hide how much this was pissing him of.

"That's a very good question you two, and I'm sorry but I don't have an answer!" Andy said in a far away tone, as he slowly walked over to get one of the water bottles that had been hidden away in there, fighting those gentlemen out there had really made him thirsty and he was determined to get something to drink before anything else could happen.

Thinking a bit about what Mr Waltfeld had just told them, Kira got a deep thoughtful frown on his face as he looked down at the floor, trying to come up with an idea about what they should do now.

It was not like they could stay down there for the rest of their lives. But there was just no telling how long those men was planing to wait for them to come out, if they where even going to do that.

They might just try and force their way in there.

And if they did something like that, then Kira really didn't think they could hold them back any longer unless they used that other thing that was down here. And even true he seriously didn't like the idea of activating that again, he had already shown more then once in the last war.

That was more the willing to do everything to protect the people he cared about.

And that had certainly not change, since the last time he used the very thing that had been hidden down here for so long. But a small part of him could not help but hope, that those men out there wouldn't try anything else to hurt them.

And with those thoughts running through mind, he slowly walked over and sat down beside Lacus, that immediately leaned in and rest her head on his right shoulder, which made Kira slowly wrap his arm around her holding her tightly.

But even as they where sitting there beside each other, Lacus slowly lifted her gaze and looked up in to Kira's eyes.

Up until now, she had been so busy trying to calm Mayu down, that she hadn't heard a single thing of what the three men in there had been talking about before. But she did of course have her own suspicion about what objective those black dressed men had.

"Kira those men, they where after me right?" She asked in a small tone, that was just loud enough for everybody else in there to hear it.

Not that any of them noticed that.

Kira just sat there looking down at her for a few seconds, he could easily tell from her expression, that she really wanted a reply to her question. But just as Kira was about to tell her that she was properly right in her assumption about what those men where here for.

A giant explosion shook pretty much the entire fundament.

"Ahhhh damn it! Now they are using mobile suits!" Dearka cursed loudly as they all made their way in to the in deeper chamber, as the shelter shook violently behind them just the door flew shut again.

So now they where trapped in a room with a enormous gate in front of them.

Yet before any of them could say anything to that, another earthquake like tremor shook the ground one more time, making all of them grab on whatever they where close to.

But once the tremors stopped again Murrue lift her head and looked over at Andrew Waltfeld with a somewhat panicky look in both of her eyes, as she sat there on the floor holding on to Mayu that by now was crying softly in to her shoulder.

"What in the world do you think they got up there?" The brown hair woman asked, while taking a short glance up at the ceiling, feeling a bit worried that the entire shelter would collapse on top of them.

That was seriously not that way she wished to join Mu in heaven. And one small glance around at everybody else in there, was enough for her to know that they pretty much all felt like that.

"I really have no idea about what they have up there and how many there is, but if they continue blasting away like that, it wouldn't be long before they get in here!"

The one eyed man said, while he too took a quick glance up at the ceiling, wondering just how much more it could take, before the soldiers out there would break through the thick walls of the shelter.

So after thinking about that a bit longer he hurried turned his attention over towards the married couple, that at this very moment was standing together in the middle of the room, holding on to each other in a tight embrace.

"Lacus do you have the keys on you? We need to open the gate before we end up getting killed in here, without fighting back!" Andy yelled just as a small part of the ceiling fell to the floor.

Hearing the man asked her that, Lacus got a somewhat frightened expression on her face as she first looked a few seconds at the gate, then over at Kira trying her best to make up her mind about what she should do.

She really didn't want to give Kira the keys. If she did that, she knew that he was going to use what had been hidden behind the gate for such a long time now.

"I.....I.....we can't do that.....I mean it's not right!" Lacus said in a sad tone, while looking down at the floor, with a single tear leaving her right eye, and running slowly down her cheek before it fell to the floor.

Not that anybody saw that, all of them where pretty much looking at the pink hair girl waiting impatiently for what else she was had to say about this.

The only one that actually noticed that she was crying now was Kira, and truly hated to see her like this, he took a single step towards her and once again pulled her in to a hug.

"Please give me the keys Lacus, I'll open the gate!" Kira told her in a soft tone, while another big tremor ran through the shelter.

Not that any of them gave that much of their attention, they where all busy looking at the married couple, as the two of them continued talking softly with each other.

"But.....but.....Kira I don't want you to go through all of those things again, I mean you went through so much pain in the last war" Lacus sobbed quietly while squeezing herself as close to the one she loved as possible.

She almost felt like that if she removed her arms from him now she was going to die.

But when she felt both of his hands slowly being placed on her shoulders.

It did not take long before she could see both of his completely determined eyes looking down in to her blue eyes, and before she could even think of anything else to say to him.

Kira gently moved his right hand over to her cheek, which he began caressing softly in a sweet way.

"It's all right Lacus, I'm fine with it, I need to do this to make sure you and everybody else is safe!" The brown hair man said, while his hand slowly made it's way up to her soft long silky like hair, slowly running his hand through it a few times, as he stood there looking down in to her downcast eyes.

"But....Kira....I don't want you to....." that was pretty much all she got out.

Before Kita slowly moved both of his arms down around her, embracing her in a sweet gentle way, that would most likely have made everybody else in there smile a bit, if the circumstance hadn't been so dire.

None of them did anything as they stood there watching the two Yamatos, as Kira once more began talking to Lacus in the same gentle manner as before.

"You don't have to be so worried Lacus, I really want to do this, I want so much to protect you my sweet love, so please give me the keys?" Kira said, while again letting his hand run down over her hair.

Hearing him say that Lacus looked at him a few seconds longer, as a few more tears left her eyes.

But just as Kira was about to reach up and remove them.

The pink hair girl slowly moved away from the embrace, and walked slowly over to where Mayu was sitting with Haro and after looking at her little sister figure a minute or two she bent down and pinked up Haro.

And after looking at her little friend for a bit, she slowly moved her hand up, and opened the normally noisy robot up in to it's control panel, where two small keys was waiting for her.

And without saying a single word she reached up and carefully removed them from inside Haro before she closed him once more, and handed him back to Mayu who was looking at her with two curious eyes.

Not that Lacus gave the small girl all that much attention, she was far more busy watching the two keys. And it was only when another piece of the ceiling fell to the floor, that she turned around and handed Kira the two items.

"Kira....." she called out in a trembling voice, just as he slowly reached out and took both of the objects from her out stretched hands.

"Thank you Lacus" the boy said, just as he turned around and walked over to Mr Waltfeld where he immediately gave the Desert Tiger one of the keys.

Who took it without saying anything back, after that they slowly made their way over to the place where the keys where suppose to fit in. And once over there, they both took one small look over at each other just as Andy slowly counted down from three to one.

Which was the sign for each of them to turn their keys and make the enormous gate slowly glide open, which meant that it did not take much time before everybody gather in there could see a certain well know mobile suit being revealed.

And without saying anything, Kira began making his way towards the Freedom gundam, that kinda looked like it was actually observing it's pilot with it's two huge yellow eyes.

Not that it was the only one doing that, Lacus kept looking after him until the gate once again glide shut behind him. "Kira..." the pink hair girl called out in a sad tone, not once removing her eyes from the gate.

As she stood there thinking about what the person she loved so much was about to do. She truly disliked the idea that her so sweet and caring husband once more had to get in front of the Freedom's controls.

She knew better then most people how much pain and sadness piloting the Strike and Freedom had brought Kira in the last war. And she had deeply hoped with all of her heart, that he would never have to experience something like that ever again.

She did however not get long to think about that before somebody placed a hand on her left shoulder.

Which was all that was need to make her turn her sad gaze away from the giant gate and at the person behind her, where she saw miss Murrue smiling sadly at her, as she gave her shoulder a light gentle squeeze.

"We have to get out of here now Lacus, I really don't think the shelter can take much more of this!" Murrue told the girl in a serious tone.

That made Lacus nod a single time in agreement, while they hurried walked over to the rest of the people, that looked like they where more then ready to leave the shelter and head outside.

Hopefully Kira would be able to take everything that was out there down, before any of the enemy mobile suits out there could noticed that they where now outside of the shelter.

Unfortunately none of them got much time to worry about that before the rest of the ceiling began falling to the floor.

"Hurry up and go, they have just gotten through the wall!" Andy yelled in a loud tone, as he quickly shut the door to the elevator that would take them to the surface.

000000

Meanwhile back in the Freedom Kira was busy looking everything over to make sure that the gundam would fly the way he wanted it.

And after a few minor seconds he slowly reached out and activated the Phase Shift armor, making all the cables that was attached to the Freedom fall to the floor.

After that he let out a small sigh, as he once more got his mobile suit moving after two long years of being hidden away down here.

"Lets go old friend!" He mumbled in a determined tone, as he lifted the beam rifle and fired two shoots up at the ceiling, after doing that he flew full speed straight up using the two plasma cannons to break through the rest of the metal ceiling.

Which meant that it did not take long before the Freedom was hanging far up in the air looking down at the nine strange looking mobile suit, that was walking around the sad remains of what had once been their home.

And one small glance at them, was all Kira need to tell that those machine was made by Zaft, not that he had any idea about what they might be called.

But for some reason he couldn't help but think that those mobile suits looked kinda out of place up on land.

It was after all obvious just by looking at the machines, that they where a new and more powerful version of the GOOhN and ZnO.

Not that Kira cared much about that, he need to take those things down before they could do any more damage to the area, and with that in mind he hurried got over in to seed mode, just as two of the green mobile suits down there began shooting up at him.

But before the attacks could even get close to him, Kira got the Freedom moving again, and hurried flew full speed down towards the water type mobile suits.

That clearly tried their very best to stop him, but Kira had no trouble at all evading every single beam the mobile suits was firing after him.

And even while doing that he quickly pulled out the right beam saber, then flew full speed at the nears enemy machine, which was obviously enough to get whoever was inside the green mobile suit to panic a bit.

Which was shown by the way it began backing away from him.

But Kira made sure that it didn't get very far before he slammed the beam saber out and cut of both of the legs on the mobile suit, after that he got the Freedom up side down and used the two plasma cannons to destroy the legs on the next one that was just about to attack him.

After doing that he flew full speed directly up, where he quickly rolled to the side to avoid getting hit by the attack from another one of the Zaft mobile suits, once he was sure that there was no way they could hit him he hurried shoot of all the Freedoms weapon down towards the green war machines.

And even true they obviously did everything possible to evade his rain of beams. It only took a few seconds, then three more of the Zaft mobile suit was laying on the ground clearly unable to fight any longer in this battle.

And to make sure that the rest of the enemy pilots didn't have any time to noticed that the rest of the household who was watching the battle from a hilltop not that far away.

Kira hurried took aim with the beam rifle and fired of two beams down at one of the water type mobile suits, taking out first the head and then the right legs, making it fall to the ground with a tremor.

Which was enough to make the last two turned around and fire of all their weapons, but even as they where doing that Kira made extra sure that the direction the Freedom was in was away from the others.

So his friends and family wouldn't somehow get hit by accident, but while the two mobile suits continued firing pretty much every single weapon they had up at him.

Kira easily maneuvered the Freedom in and out between the attacks, and after doing that for a minute or two he was so close to the green mobile suits that he gave one of them a hard kick in it's chest area.

Making it fall down almost beside one of the other mobile suits and before it could even try and get up again Kira had taken out both it's arms and it's legs, after that he slowly turned and looked back at the last one.

"Who the heck are you guys, and why did you try and kill Lacus?" Kira asked in a slightly angry tone out over the radio.

But the only answer he got, was the sound of the enemy pilot trying to get some air back down in to his lungs. And it was only when Kira yelled out for the man to give him a reply, that the person inside the green mobile suit began talking in a somewhat hysterical tone.

That made it very clear to Kira, that this guy had no intention of given him any kind of reply to his question, and that he was still more then ready to fight.

"Ha! I'm not going to tell you anything you little brat, I'm taking you out right NOW!" The man yelled loudly, as he charge full speed forward with the beam claw out, quite clearly determined to put that weapon through the Freedoms cockpit.

But before the attack even got near the gundam, Kira made a quick moved to the side, where he immediately used the right foot to actually trip the big green mobile suit over, so it fell face down in to the ground.

"Tell me who send you guys?" Kira demand in a loud tone, just before he shoot the right arm of the enemy machine.

But there was still no answer from the Zaft pilot, he only muttered out a few courses as he got the one armed mobile suit back up on it's feet where he hurried lifted the one remain arm which made it obvious that he was still intending to fight.

But before he could even get one shoot of, Kira fired the beam rifle again, this time taking of the left arm on the enemy mobile suit, then the two missile launchers it had on it's back.

And before the water type mobile suits could even take a single step away from him, Kira removed both of it's legs too, making the last of the machines smash to the ground, beside all the other disabled mobile suits.

"Now give me some answers!" The boy demand in a loud tone.

While trying to make the Freedom look as threatening as possible, even true he had honestly no intention of hurting any of the enemy pilots there, he just want them to tell him what he wanted to know.

He did however not get any kind of reply, actually none of them said a single word to him now. He just heard one of them course him a bit, which made him take one step closer to all the wrecked mobile suits.

But before he had the opportunity to ask any more questions, the very last one he had disabled blow up in a loud explosion that was followed shortly after by all the other mobile suits that began blowing up.

And even true all of those men, had tried to kill the most important person in his life, he was still completely shocked that they prefer to do something like this, instead of continuing living their lives.

He was pretty sure that all of them had friends and family back home at the Plants. So he truly didn't understand why they would want to leave them in such a terrible way as this.

But even as he was sitting there thinking about that Birdy suddenly jumped out from his inside pocket and land carefully on his right shoulder, which made him turn and take a short glance over at his small robot bird.

Before he once more looked down at all the destroyed mobile suits parts, that was spread around the Freedom gundam.

000000

At the same time not that far away from him, everybody else was watching as the Freedom just stood there in between all the now completely wrecked up mobile suits.

All of them had a somewhat sad look on their face, as they where all thinking their own thoughts about everything they had just been through.

But even true all of them up there knew that they had a lot to talk about after this, there was no movement from any of them.

There was just so many things going through their minds right now.

Murrue was feeling somewhat sad that it had end up like this, she had sincerely hoped that they could avoid having to use the Freedom again.

She knew how tough a time Kira had been having using that mobile suit two years ago, especially when he had been going up against Rau Le Creuset and the Providence.

But even as she stood there thinking about that she suddenly heard her daughter call out Kira's name.

Which made her slowly kneel down and embrace her little girl holding her tightly, as she kept watching the Freedom and thinking about the person that was inside the white and blue mobile suit.

But even true she was quite far away in her own thoughts, she could still hear Dearka mumble out a few words.

"This has got to be the first time since she left that, I'm glad that Miriallia isn't home!" The former Buster piloted muttered, out in a small yet depressed tone

As he slowly sat down on the ground not once taking his purple eyes away from the Freedom, that still haven't moved from it's spot between all the destroyed water type mobile suits.

He truly was relieved that his girlfriend hadn't been around for all of this, it really had been a horrifying experience.

And he was deeply relieved that none of them had gotten hurt or something even worths.

He just hoped that there wasn't anymore bad guys hiding out somewhere out in the ocean. But if they had just a little brain in the heads, they would most likely retreat to avoid having to do battle against the Freedom.

It really didn't take a genius to see that if anything else showed up, they would pretty much get their ass' hand over to them.

But what Dearka didn't noticed while he was busy thinking about the girl he loved and everything all of them had just been through, was that Andrew Waltfeld was busy looking at the picture of his dead wife.

While thinking about why those bastards had to completely ruin their home, couldn't they have found a much less destructive way to try and break in to the shelter, did those guys really have to destroy everything.

But a single look around the area was all he need to find a reply to his own question, and even true it did make him angry that they had to go this far.

He just couldn't help but be happy that they woke up in time to fight back. If those men had gotten in to the house without any of them noticing it, they would surely all have been dead now.

"Damn, I had really hoped to have a nice little conversation with one of those guys!" Andy said, as he once more closed up the small silver locket that he was always carrying around his neck, then he slowly lifted his head and took a small look around at the others, where he could quite easily tell that the others was just as sad and depressed about this as he was.

Which was more the enough to make him sigh loudly a single time, while he turned his attention down towards the ground, still trying his best to make some sense of everything that had happened.

But even true they all felt pretty low spirited right now. The one who felt worths was no doubt Lacus.

She just stood there watching the Freedom with a truly tearful expression on her face, she still couldn't believed that the one she loved had once more been forced to get in to a mobile suit, and it had all been to defend her, from those black dressed men.

That however did not change the fact, that a small part of her kinda wished that somebody else could have used the Freedom.

But she already knew that there was nobody else around that could use that gundam as well as Kira, he pretty much had the OS sat up in such a way, that he was the only one who could use it properly.

But even knowing something like that, did nothing to ease the deep sadness she was feeling right now.

And the pink haired girl knew that the only thing in this whole world that could make her feel better right now, was the one she loved so much.

And she really had to fight hard not to race full speed down to the Freedom, and just wait for him to come out of the gundam.

There was however no way she could do that, it was way to dangerous for her to be running around all those destroyed mobile suits, there was no way of telling if there was anything else on the machines that could blow up at any moment now.

So she just had to wait up there on the hill until Kira came out of the Freedom, but it really didn't look like he was planing to move for a while.

He was most likely in shock over seeing those men self-destruct like that, not that she could blame him. He had always been so careful, not to hurt the people he was fighting.

Yet those men had commit suicided without even giving it a second thought, and she knew without a doubt, that this had been a pretty hard experience not just for him, but for all of them gather there on the hill.

"Kira!" The girl mumbled out in a truly sad tone, while her long pink hair continued blowing around her face in the soft morning wind.

Not that Lacus gave it much of her attention, she just couldn't remove her two depressed eyes from the Freedom.

As she continued standing there, hoping deeply that it would not be long, before Kira got out of the white mobile suit. She desperately wanted to be in her husband's arms now, and just stay there until the end of time, never letting go of him ever again.

To be continued.

I'll see you guys next time.
