"I see that you were successful in getting the Strike and Aegis" said Lacus
"Yes" said Kira nodding his head
"I was able to take care of Athrun as well" he said
"Even though Karui wanted to see you do to see his reaction" he added
Lacus giggled a little at that.
"Anything that I should know about" asked Kira
"It looks like Patrick Zala is going to win the next election in a landslide" said Lacus looking down
"We knew that this would happen since your father kept trying for peace talks" said Kira
"I know" said Lacus looking down
"I just feel that everything is going to get worse from here" she said
Kira held her as he said "We will be there to stop it when it does and end the war"
"How is your plan going" he asked
"We are waiting to see what ZAFT does with the G-Weapon data before doing anything" said Lacus
Kira left Lacus' room soon after that and found Samui. "Samui" said Kira
"Yes" asked Samui
"I want you to stay with Lacus to keep her cover" said Kira
Samui nodded her head and went into Lacus' room. Kira went into his and Karui's and saw Cagalli was in there too.
"Anything we need to know about" asked Cagalli
"Patrick Zala is going to become the new Chairman and there are waiting to see what ZAFT will do the with the G-Weapon data before doing anything" said Kira
It was some time later that they all saw everyone getting happy because the bridge received a message that the ship was about to meet up with an Advance Fleet that will escort them to the Eight Fleet.
"Pathetic" spat Karui
"It appears that they all have forgotten how ZAFT has stalemated a numerically superior force" she said
"Those new machines could easily destroy that fleet" she added
"They probably think we would be enough to protect the ship and the fleet" said Kira
"But they will probably send the new machines to keep us busy while a force of GINNs destroys the fleet" he said
"That's not all" said Cagalli
"I have overheard that girl Flay's father is with the fleet" she said
"She doesn't look like someone from a Military family" said Karui
"He's not" said Cagalli
"He is the Vice Foreign Minister for the Atlantic Federation" she said
"Oh great" said Kira sighing
"He must have used his influence to see his daughter before everyone else" said Karui
"That is just going to make things even worse when the fleet is destroyed" said Kira
The Archangel eventually came within range of the Advance Fleet only to find out it wasn't really what you would call a fleet.
"I wouldn't call that a fleet" said Kira
"They are going to be nothing more than cannon fodder" said Karui
Kira and Karui left Cagalli and headed towards the locker room to get ready for the battle. They heard the call for battle stations and headed towards the hanger.
Samui heard the call for battle stations as well and got up and stood near the door with her tanto out. "Nobody is coming in here" thought Samui
The Strike, Aegis, and the Mobius Zero launched from the Archangel and headed towards the Advance Fleet. When they arrived at the fleet there was barely anything left.
"That didn't take long" said Karui
The Duel and the Blitz broke off the attack and charged at the Strike and Aegis. The Mobius Zero continued on to deal with the GINNs. It was able to deal with all the GINNs but had to retreat because it was damaged by the last one.
Back on the Archangel, Sai was taking Flay back to her room when she broke free from his grip. She opened the door to Lacus' room only to find the blade of a tanto at her throat.
"Don't move" said Samui
"What are you doing" shouted Flay
"My job" said Samui
"Which includes protecting Ms. Clyne from you" she said
"Leave" she commanded
Sai quickly grabbed Flay and pulled her out of the doorway.
The battle going on outside was getting worse. While the Duel and Blitz kept the Strike and Aegis busy, the Buster destroyed the rest of the Advance Fleet. They then all heard over the radio "This is the Earth Forces ship Archangel"
"Currently on board this ship is ZAFT Chairman Siegel Clyne's daughter, Lacus Clyne"
"If you continue your attack we can't guarantee her safety"
ZAFT stopped their attack and slowly retreated back to their ship. Once they were gone the Strike and Aegis returned to the Archangel. Kira and Karui got changed out of their pilot suits and went towards Lacus' room. Kira opened the door only to have to block a tanto with his katana.
"Nice try Samui" said Kira
"Kira" said Samui putting her tanto away
"What happened" she asked
Kira and Karui went into Lacus' room and Kira explained everything that happened.
"I am taking you back to ZAFT tonight Lacus" said Kira
Lacus nodded her head as Kira asked "Who should I contact"
"The Blitz pilot" said Lacus
"He is the kindest one out of all of them" she said
"We figured he was the odd man out" said Karui
That night Kira and Karui crept back to Lacus' room and opened the door only for Kira to have to block Samui's tanto with his katana again.
"You will have to do better than that to get me Samui" said Kira smiling
"Is Lacus ready" he asked
"Yes" said Samui
Lacus got out of bed fully dressed and henged into Cagalli. They left the room and headed towards the hanger. Along the way they ran into Sai and Miriallia.
"You about to go to your shift" asked Karui
"Yes" said Sai
"We couldn't sleep" said Kira
"So we thought we go perform some maintenance on our machines" he said
"We are going to keep them company" said Samui
"Have fun" said Miriallia
They arrived at the locker room and Kira, Karui, and Lacus went inside. Kira and Karui changed into their pilot suits while Lacus put on a space suit. When they came out it looked like that Lacus was pregnant.
"You had fun without me" said Samui pouting
"It's just my dress" said Lacus embarrassed
"You missed out" said Karui
"Even though she hogged all of Kira's time" she said laying her arms over Lacus' shoulders
"But we didn't do anything" exclaimed Lacus
"Ok, that is enough teasing" said Kira
Lacus let out a sigh of relief at that.
"Wait until it actually happens" added Kira smiling
"Kira" exclaimed Lacus blushing madly
They headed towards the hanger where Kira knocked out all the maintenance workers with a genjutsu. Kira and Lacus went to the Strike and Karui went to the Aegis. Samui got the Gundams ready to launch and opened the hanger bay doors.
"Kira Yamato, Strike launching"
"Karui, Aegis launching"
They took off from the Archangel and went behind it towards the Vesalius.
On the bridge of the Archangel an alarm went off.
"What's the matter" asked Murrue
"The Strike and Aegis have just launched" said Miriallia
"WHAT" yelled Natarle?
"But they said they were just going to perform maintenance" said Sai
"Get me Chief Murdoch" ordered Murrue
Chief Murdoch appeared on the screen yawning. "What's the matter" asked Murdoch
"I was sleeping" he said
"Why were you sleeping in the hanger" asked Murrue
"I don't know" said Murdoch with a confused look on his face
"I just remember feeling really sleepy all the sudden" he said
"How did the Strike and Aegis launch" asked Murrue
"What do you mean" asked Murdoch confused
He turned around and saw the Gundams were gone. "They're gone" shouted Murdoch
Outside the Strike and Aegis approached the Vesalius. On the radio both ships heard "Attention Nazca-class ship, this is the pilot of the Strike"
"I am here to return Ms. Lacus Clyne to you"
"The Nazca-class ship is to cut its engines and sent out only the Blitz to retrieve her"
"If these conditions are not met, I cannot guarantee her safety"
The Vesalius cut its engines and the Blitz launched. After the Blitz launched the Aegis transformed into its mobile armor form and aimed its beam cannon at the Vesalius's hanger.
"Give me a reason" thought Karui
The Blitz came to a stop before the Strike as Kira said "Open you cockpit"
The Blitz opened its cockpit and then the Strike opened its own.
"Hello there" said Lacus
"Thank you for coming to get me" she said
"It's Lacus Clyne" said Nicol
"Prepare to receive her" said Kira
Kira pushed Lacus out of the cockpit of the Strike and was taken into the cockpit of the Blitz by Nicol. Then the Blitz backed away from the Strike and returned to the Vesalius.
The Strike and Aegis slowly returned to the Archangel while keeping their weapons pointed at the Vesalius' hanger.
