**************

In the Nirvana…

Kyo sighed as he ran through the new materials that he had been handed by his two liaison officers from both Talark and Megele and he was busy enough already. The new materials were documents telling him of the new integration of the fleets and the reports from different personnel.

The Gundam pilot felt like he was dealing with a massive beast with so many heads and the head grew back, for one head he took out, two more came back from the stump to haunt him yet again…but he put those thoughts aside as he placed the documents into his container and left his room and headed to the meeting hall…to face yet another problem.

He had hoped that no one would find out about his little escapades until the time was right to tell the crew about them, but he should have known that it was going to come out sooner or later. The women were getting even more curious about his relationships and they even went as far as to ask Dita, Jura, Meia, Sara, and Mai on how it felt to be with him in private. The girls were pretty much keeping it to themselves, but somewhere along the way, the women had heard about it and they were now even more curious if it was indeed possible for men and women to have children together. Until that was explained to them, he knew that things on the Nirvana were going to get even more hectic until the truth was told about physical intimacy between men and women.

Besides, it was what Magno wanted him to do eventually, this was going to be tough, but there was no longer any running from it as he made sure to get more details from it and hope that everything will be fully explained. But if there was one thing he knew, what he was about to talk about was really going to start a hell of a mess with the female members of the crew, along with the men.

As soon as he entered the meeting halls, he spotted all of the women who could be in the room were there, along with Buzam/Tenmei, Gascogne, Aleck, Hiryu, Magno, Duero with Parfet sitting close to him, Max with Barnette also close to him as well. The two couples were very much closer together and were a bit embarrassed as they knew just what Kyo was going to talk about with the others on the Nirvana. Near the screen were Jura, Dita, Meia, Sara, and Mai…they too were rather nervous, but were able to keep calm.

Kyo knew that under Magno's request, all members of the crew of the Nirvana, from every corner of the ship…including the men were going to be in on the whole show. This made him feel even more uncertain on how this was going to be received. But he steeled himself as he walked over to the five women and spoke to each of them.

“Are you sure you're all ready for this? I mean you all don't have to be here, and this will be a very embarrassing situation for all of you.”

Jura shook her head and so did Meia, Mai, Sara, and Dita.

“We don't need to hide it for that long, it'll have to come out sooner or later. Besides…we talked about this with the Captain…and we're all aware that it might happen and we're ready for it.”

“Are you all sure about that?”

Meia nodded and spoke for the others.

“We are Kyo…go ahead.”

Kyo could tell that they were all serious about their stance on the matter, and that reassured him somewhat at least as he got some items from the desk and then faced the women crew-members there and took a deep breath and called their attention. Many of the women were from the Dread Squadrons and some were from the Crusaders, and several more from the Register and the Engineering Teams. He took another calming breath and began to speak.

“Many of you are wondering what exactly is it you are all doing here under the request of the Captain. This has something to do with the question that many of you have been asking. Namely on the possibility that children can be conceived between men and women, as you have seen in the video before during the Christmas we had last year. The answer to that question…is yes, it is possible for a man and a woman to have a child together.”

The women were quickly looking at each other and rumors began to circulate just how it was done, he was thankful that Paiway was not here on the Nirvana as she decided to stick around with Ezra, Lacus, and Rebecca in the Paradise for a while. As soon as the women were done talking, he got ready for the next part of the explanations.

“However, the process is…not the same as the methods used by you're world and that of the men, it is more emotional, and physical for both partners as the child born of the union…whether boy or girl is part of both parents, which in the old Earth terms is mother and father respectively. It is also not very…accurate as the artificial methods on either Megele or Talark, the timing has to be right…the partners…have to be…in the right mood. And even if it is done, it does not always assure pregnancy for the woman…it takes several attempts.”

One of the women then raised her hand to ask a question.

“If it's so much trouble and so unreliable back then…why do they do it in the first place?”

Kyo felt like déjà vu all over again as that question was very much the same as the one that Bart had asked him when he had asked him back why he was not agreeing to the idea of going to Dita's room a few months to nearly a year before. He cleared his throat and looked at Dita, Jura, Meia, Mai, and Sara who blushed at that and nodded a bit. This made him sigh as he placed the video cassettes on the table as he decided to say it.

“Because the process of co-gender procreation is very…pleasurable, and if the two partners have made a strong and…lasting relationship…they sometimes do the act for the sake of it. That is where…love can be found between both partners.”

The women were still unbelieving as they began to talk to one another once more about how can such a thing be possible, until one of the women, a member of the Dread squadrons raised her hand and Kyo waited for her to ask her question…and he had a feeling that this was one that was going to floor him like a sledgehammer to the head.

And sure enough…it was a question that was going to hit him on the head like a sledgehammer…

“Is that the same thing you did with Dita? Or with Sara, Mai, Meia, and Jura?”

Kyo couldn't help but blush a bit and pinch the bridge of his nose at that question as he knew that things and questions like that were the one things most people didn't want to talk about when it concerned intimate relationships. Most guys who were players as the term was known would have boasted about their relationships…but he wasn't one of them…his respective relationships with the five women was unique in their own respective right. He looked at the five women and saw them blushing as well…

The women saw that and they all looked on with a stunned look at the discovery that Dita, Meia, Jura, Sara, and Mai had actually….done it with Kyo and they all began to whisper what could have happened. Kyo however called their attention as he knew that it was now time to drop the bomb, though he doubted that he would get the very same reaction he got from Duero and Bart when he told them about the intimate details of being in the same room with a woman.

“In light of you're question…the answer is yes…but before you start asking you're comrades and me about it, it is important that you are shown the mechanics of procreation between genders. However, before I start telling you how it's done…I'll give the general description and I need to ask a very simple question for all of you. Are there couples on Megele?”

The women wondered why he was asking the question, but they decided to tell him that there were couples on Megele, some of them have had very important relationships, and they of course had children.

Kyo sighed and knew that his next question was really going to make him very uncomfortable, but since he made it this far, he might as well keep going at it and get the situation over and done with so he could finally teach them what procreation between men and women was all about.

“All right then…now, do these particular couples do things to affirm their relationship…namely in the intimate sense and with their….private parts?”

The women thought about that and Gascogne was the one who answered Kyo.

“Yes they do, we call it…”

Kyo however had SEEN that done when he had been in his room with the five women a few days before and he decided to speak before it brought back more memories that would really make things hard of him.

“All right then…now, the reason why I asked those two questions, is because in order for men and women to have children…is when they are able to be intimate with their respective sexual parts.”

The women were stunned and they began to talk once more about it and then Kyo decided to speak once more in order to keep them from getting the wrong ideas of how it should be done, he knew that it had to be done the right way or else things would get really confusing.

“Before you start getting ideas, I want you all to know that what I have mentioned is very much true and this is not something you just do all the time, circumstances permitting. The act of sex between men and women is very different, and as such has different mechanics than the ones you're no doubt familiar with back on you're world. The videos that you will be seeing is how it's done between men and women…now I request that you ask your questions AFTER you see the videos.”

With that…Kyo placed the video tapes into the player and got the show on the road…the minute the people in the videos began to get intimate with one another…the women gasped greatly, while on the men's side of the Nirvana, the small band of Talark men who were part now of the crew watched as well and they too were very much surprised by what they were now witnessing, they were now going to be among the few men to actually SEE sexual relations between men and women on record.

Kyo prayed that he was doing the right thing once more as the women gasped and looked at the video as the situation the couple was in was getting hot and steamy, he was thankful that Jura's collection of videos was not in the darker categories of sexual taste, otherwise, who knew that sort of ideas would be popping into the heads of the crew if they saw that.

**************

Hours later…

Kyo took a drink from his mug of hot chocolate and placed it down on his table and rubbed his forehead to try and remove the slight headache that he was having right now. He had just showed all the members of the crew of the Nirvana the way men and women had children in the old days and he felt like he had just opened a Pandora's box of surprises. The women were stunned and they were soon asking questions on how it would feel and was it actually very pleasurable. The Gundam pilot explained it as best he could, with Magno helping him, along with Meia, Dita, Jura, Sara, and Mai helping him…along with Parfet and Barnette, with their respective male partners.

The women were all stunned as they looked once more of the videos of how men and women got intimate together, and it didn't take long for the men to come out of their section and ask their comrades whether it was true or not. They were in awe at Duero and Max since they had actually done THAT with Parfet and Barnette respectively and were still alive…alive and happy with it too. The men also asked the Gundam pilot about it, but Kyo kept mum about that. The women then asked their comrades if it was truly pleasurable, and the warm smiles and the answers they got from their female comrades was enough to confirm it.

<My God, I hope that we have enough time to work all this out properly, before the men of Talark and the women of Megele find out about this…I don't even want to know what would happen if they find out about it and raise hell.>

Kyo looked at spotted Meia walk into the room, along with Magno, the elderly niece smiled a bit at her uncle and greeted him.

“How are you feeling uncle?”

“Like I just told the crew the ultimate dirty secret….which in truth I did…I hope that we don't get reports of them going overboard on that discovery.”

Meia and Magno sat down with Kyo as he got up and got two more mugs for them and filled them with some of the hot chocolate that he still had with him. He then placed the mugs before them and sat down once more and sighed as he took in the drink.

Magno drank some and then spoke to her uncle about the situation.

“I managed to tell the crew to keep this a secret until we are sure that the men and the women work well together, no use telling them now about procreation between genders while they still are not used to working with one another. I don't think that telling them now at a time like this is a wise idea.”

“Good point there Maggie…what I'm worried about is how the others on the ship are taking it.”

Meia smiled a bit and spoke to Kyo.

“They are still a bit shaken…I know I was when I saw a video left behind by Jura before…but since they've been around men for a long time now…I think they will be able to adjust, though it will take some serious work to get things straightened out.”

“No kidding…how are you and the others handling this? Now that…it's out that you, Jura, Dita, Sara, and Mai did it with me? I mean…I hope you all aren't being bothered too much by all this.”

Meia smiled a bit and replied.

“I've been asked about it a few times, Jura's happy to finally say it out loud, and so is Dita, Mai naturally has to tell her fahma and ohma about it when they arrive here on the Nirvana from Outer Heaven, and the same could be said for Sara. I get the feeling that all our respective families will come and meet you…since it will not take very long for them to find out about you.”

Kyo groaned and massaged his head once more.

“I guess that means that if I do tie the knot, I will be meeting my soon to become in-laws…as if I didn't have enough to deal with already.”

Meia nodded as she could understand the burdens Kyo was carrying, not only was he the Gundam pilot of the I-Freedom, her own teacher and more, leader of the Crusaders, but was now the newly crowned Supreme Admiral of both the combined forces of the worlds, along with being responsible for every military and civilian aspect of the newly forged alliance. And despite the fact that he was already four hundred twenty-one years old, he was so unused to such a great deal of responsibility.

And now he had to deal with the possibility of having in-laws…she had to admit that she thought herself lucky not to be in his shoes right now, but she knew that she could do her part and help him deal with all the pressure in any way that she could, and she knew that the others who loved Kyo would do the very same thing for him. She proved it as she held Kyo's hand.

“I'll do what I can to help you Kyo, on dealing with all this, I know…that my parents are gone, but I know that they would have loved to have met you…you helped me out of my shell and made me feel life again, so I have no doubts that they would not mind me being close to you.”

Kyo smiled a bit at that.

“Thanks Meia…but I wonder how the ohmas and fahmas of the others are handling this little development. I better have a chat with the others.”

Kyo took out his communicator to contact Jura, Sara, Mai, and Dita for a discussion with him…they had a lot to talk about. Namely when their parents got wind that their daughters had just snared a man.

<Gods…as if I don't have enough problems as it is…>

**************

Actually…Kyo had another problem to deal with…

Misty looked at herself in the mirror and calmed herself down, she sighed as she then faced another person in her very own room. Devon was busy looking at the wall…at the ceiling, anywhere but at Misty…and for good reason. What they did was totally new and very much unbelievable…but still…

“Devon…please look at me.”

The Talark teen faced the former Pluto resident and his normally calm and patient visage was replaced with worry and fear.

“We…we shouldn't have…done that…I mean we…”

Misty sighed and walked over to Devon and the Talark teen tried to leave the room, but Misty stopped him and held him close, Devon didn't resist as Misty replied.

“It wasn't what I had in mind at the time…but I don't regret it…not in the least.”

“But I…I couldn't control myself…and I lost…”

Misty sighed as she knew just what Devon was driving at, what happened a few days ago was unexpected…but she certainly was not against it…it had been something she had wanted for a very long time…after all, despite being frozen and technically at her early seventies…she was biologically a young woman…and she had her needs too, like the others on the ship. She had to admit however that it really was very surprising what had happened between her and Devon.

**************

Flashback…

**************

Misty and Devon were currently exploring the rest of the ship and were also discussing the various aspects of relationships being able to be born between men and women, the young man was rather curious whether such a thing would really happen between men and women and Misty naturally told him that such things could indeed happen between men and women. They were moving along to the rest of the crews quarters and they were still going strong on the matter.

“So have you ever been in such a relationship with a man?”

Misty blushed a bit at that question as she recalled her crush back in her younger days back on Pluto and her own crush on Kyo, but she put that aside and replied to his questions.

“I have had friends…but never that close a relationship if you really want to know.”

“If that's the case…how come you know about it?”

“Well…it's one of the things most teens back then would talk about on their free time, but that will be for another time, I wanted to talk to Kyo about some matters, namely with the fact that he's now the head commander of this newly created Allied Fleet.”

“What for? He's a man, he can handle the responsibility.”

Misty shook her head at that and replied.

“He's a man, no doubts about that…what I mean is the fact that he's still rather young, he might have been in cryogenic suspension far LONGER than I was, but he's barely out of his twenty first birthday and now he has to deal with the fact that he's placed in such a leader position…you try waking up one day and you're leader then tells you to be responsible for not just the fleet of you're home-world, but the fleet of the people who were you're enemies for a very long time, how the heck would you feel?”

Devon thought it over and had to agree with Misty's argument, that stuff WAS a lot to take in just one day. He shrugged his shoulders and the two of them made their way to Kyo's room. Misty wanted to see how Kyo was holding up after his birthday. She had been there to celebrate along with the crew on such an occasion. She wanted to talk with him but since he had not left his room all morning, she was getting curious as to what the Gundam pilot was doing in his room all day.

And since she had nothing left to do since it was a day of rest for the entire crew, she decided to ask Devon to come along with her…namely to help Devon get used to being around Kyo, the two had only met on a few occasions and as such, she wanted them to get along with one another. She still recalled the signs of jealousy that Devon showed towards Kyo when she talked with him…he wanted that to be over and forgotten so as to avoid another possible mess between them.

As they made their way to the door that led to Kyo's room, she typed in the key code and thankfully the door opened and that allowed the two of them to enter the room. As they looked about, the only thing that Misty could say was.

“What a mess…”

The room had messed up sheets and some of the pillows were strewn all over the place and there was some other things that really made the place into a mess. The only thing that made sense was the fact that Kyo had left the room.

“Well, I guess that means that he's already left and we missed him.”

Devon replied, but it was then that the two of them began to pick a strange smell in the air. And for some reason, the smell seemed to have a very unsettling effect on both of them as they looked about. The smell in the air was strong and it seemed to make their nerves tingle with energy. When they looked about more, the two of them began to adapt to the smell, but they felt a high state of awareness, Devon didn't know what it was and Misty was not very sure of it either.

It was only when they looked at one another that the smell began to test them and the reactions they gave when they saw each other made things even more electric between the two, and neither of them figured out why they seemed to tingle when they looked at one another…

Misty and Devon left Kyo's room and made their way out of the room…however, the remaining pheromones in the room which were thick and concentrated did their job for when they both got to Misty's room…

Misty turned about and looked at Devon and the Talark teen didn't know why he suddenly felt this urge…but he did and the very second Misty unconsciously licked her lips, that was it as he came onto her.

**************

End of Flashback…

Devon was still feeling somewhat guilty and Misty knew that as soon as she was able to convince him that what they did together might have been accidental…but it was far from wrong in a sense since that was the way man and woman interacted in a physical sense. But she knew that he might be thinking that she was only trying to alleviate his guilt…and as such she came up with an idea.

“Tell you what…why don't we talk to Kyo about this…you already know that he's…well done it already so you can talk to him about it, maybe that way you can understand what happened between the two of us.”

Devon gave her a serious look and replied with a slight touch of sarcasm.

“What makes you think he's going to listen to me?”

“Well…for one thing, he's done it already before with more than one woman…which by the way is a dream for most young men come true, and he's already answering questions from the rest of the female crew about it. Plus I think you feel more comfortable talking to a guy who knows about it.”

Devon sighed and looked at the floor of Misty's room to weigh in his options. He knew that until he knew if what he and Misty had done was indeed part of co-gender relationships he would still be utterly uneasy with the whole thing between him and Misty…despite her reassurances to him that she liked it and she was okay with it…and while it had been…very different, and he did enjoy it…he was still unsure about it all. And he had to admit…now that he knew that Kyo had experienced it…

**************

In the Engineering Bay…

Kyo was currently working on another project, but this was not in the war efforts, but something he had promised to do for a certain Navi-robot, he managed to get his hand on Navi-robot blue prints and was currently making the new Navi-robot to serve as Pyoro's partner while here on the ship. The Navi-robot came into the room while he was working and asked him a question.

“What are you doing Kyo?”

Kyo answered Pyoro's question while still working on the inner circuitry and the basic chassis of the new Navi-robot.

“I'm making you're partner Pyoro, now I can't really be sure since this design is rather old and I have plenty of duties to do so I can't dedicate ALL my time into making you're friend here.”

“But…”

“No worries, this actually helps keep me relaxed and I have something constructive to do…so don't worry about me too much. By the way…I will need to download a good portion of you're data and use it to create the emotional-data matrix of you're companion, plus I will have to get a fragment of the Paeksis in order to effect the transformation and make it the same as you.”

Pyoro looked on as the Gundam pilot was busy showing his mechanical and computer skills as he began to create a machine that had not been made for nearly a hundred years and he was going to make one in a time frame of at least four months. The Navi-robot decided to watch and not interfere with the Gundam pilot's work as a sign of his respect for the Gundam pilot and the Supreme Admiral of the Allied Fleet and since the Gundam pilot was taking the time to make him a companion, the least he could do was help in the process.

“Can I help with anything?”

“Sure…I need you to decide on at least three things first Pyoro.”

“The first?”

“The name for this new Navi-robot.”

“The second?”

“What color scheme do you want?”

“And the last?”

“You want it as a female or male AI version of you?”

**************

Later…

Kyo was busy running through the records of the officers under his command, currently he was contacted by Commander Heidi about his presence being required in the Megele Space Academy to speak to the latest batch of Dread pilots who were to replace the ones who were lost or too badly wounded physically and emotionally to start flying again. He had been told that he was needed to be on the Academy in a few hours, while the pirates…or rather the former pirates were to be along with him to help train the new recruits on how to fight with the Harvesters.

The former pirates were the most familiar with the Harvesters, especially with their new weapons and systems so it made sense that they would have to be the ones to teach the Megele forces on how to defeat the new weapons of the Harvesters.

He also had to deal with another request for him to travel to Talark and train the new recruits on how to fight with the Harvesters and also to defeat the new weapons that the Invasion Fleet had with them. Fortunately, both were separate classes for today and thus it would give him time to know just who the people he would be working with in the coming four months are.

Of course, that was not his only concern for the moment. He would have to trade new technology to both worlds on how to modify their already existing forces and make them more capable against the Harvesters. The Dreads would need better response systems, better armor and better engines in order to even up the odds. The Vanguards would need also better armor, weapon systems and more in order to match up. Not to mention he would also have to plan out how to make the Vanguards of Talark and the Dreads of Megele work in combat formations that were of the same make as that of the formations the Crusader Squadron used when they worked with the Dreads on the Nirvana. They would also have to trade newly developed technology along with modifying existing technology in order to adapt and utilize their weapons more effectively.

Of course…that was only possible due to the newly formed alliance pact between Talark and Megele, had it been otherwise, things would not be easier for him. He still knew that despite it being an order from their Leaders, there would still be men and women on either world who would cause trouble for the alliance, either out of pride and stubbornness, or just because they were against the whole thing and swallowed the lies of their worlds too many times. While he understood that it gave the people of either world a goal…that goal was dead and now it was time to change priorities…though he knew that it didn't mean that things were going to change overnight. He was going to be the herald of change and he was going to be in the thick of it all.

< Oh well…at least things between me the girls is a bit straightened out…now I have to meet their fahma's and ohmas soon.>

He recalled the conversation he had with Meia, Jura, Sara, Mai, and Dita and the girls agreed that they would help Kyo in any way they possibly could in order to help him cope with the many details that he had to deal with in the coming months, and also they would help him deal with their respective families when the time came. He was thankful that things were working out, though he did feel a little embarrassed when they would tell him about the many questions that the crews were currently asking them on what they had done with him. The questions were rather colorful and made him wish he could tell the crew to not ask those things.

He was happy that Maggie did tell the crews not to talk about the art of co-gender procreation with anyone outside of the pirates until the time was right and there would be relationships that would spring among the two factions and that would certainly help.

The Gundam pilot however, couldn't help but snicker as he imagined the reactions the men and women would have once such things could happen between them. However he also had to admit that it was going to take some serious work in order to straighten things out between the men and women of both Talark and Megele should it ever happen, namely because the act of co-gender procreation was NOT normally taught to the men of Talark and the women of Megele and doing that would no doubt be considered by either side to both be the ultimate taboo and the ultimate sin for any of their people to commit. They might NOT know about it yet…but if there was one thing that he knew for a fact was with emotions and other factors playing into the situation…then stranger things could happen.

The door alarm chimed up and the Gundam pilot knew that he had guests coming into his room, he put aside the letters for the moment and decided to find out just who was paying him a visit at this time of the day. The rest of the crew were currently doing routine training, maintenance and corresponding with their parents or family members, who no doubt in his mind were very happy to see them…he wondered how the reunions were shaping out between the pirates and their parents, and he was hoping that the four others who he loved and cared for were having an easy time in talking to their ohmas and fahmas about the situation.

He was surprised to see Misty and Devon walk into his room and the two of them seemed to have a lot on their minds and that was something that made the Gundam pilot rather curious as to what was it they wanted from him at this time of the day. He placed aside his paper work, got up and greeted the two as they entered his chambers.

“Misty, Devon, what brings you two down here?”

Misty smiled in greeting while Devon looked at his boots and it took Misty to make the Talark teen to look at the Gundam pilot. The three shook hands and then Kyo directed them to sit down as he reached for a pair of mugs and took out the container of hot chocolate that he had with him. As he did so, he spoke to the pair while pouring them their drinks.

“I have some duties to take care of today, not to mention I have to go to both Megele and Talark soon to meet up with the new recruits on both worlds, so I can't be here long, but I have time to listen.”

As he handed them the mugs with the hot chocolate he sat back down and looked at the two.

“So, what do you guys want to talk to me about?”

Misty placed her mug down on the table and sighed and then blushed bright red as she recalled what happened between her and Devon, this made Kyo a bit suspicious and a bit nervous…both feelings were further added when he noted Devon doing the very same thing as well on his chair as well, this was getting to be serious.

Misty recovered and then spoke.

“Well…it has something to do with, um, the facts of life.”

Kyo looked at the two of them back and forth, his eyes widening at the meaning of that phrase.

“Don't tell me you two…did it?!”

Misty nodded and Kyo could only look at the two with a great measure of shock and surprise for a few minutes and looked at Devon who looked a bit confused and very distracted to say the least. Kyo could shake his head once more and decided that he was going to have a hell of a time explaining to the two what just happened between them…Misty could understand it, but Devon was another matter.

**************

Later…

Kyo sighed as he powered up Infinite Freedom and was given the go-ahead signal by the pirate crew that he was clear to leave the Nirvana…he had an appointment to keep and he had to move it to brief the Megele females on the history of the Harvesters and their combat missions against them…not to mention the records of what the Harvesters had in their arsenal.

Dita then called in.

“You want us to come with you Kyo?”

Kyo shook his head as he pressed the button to bring down the transparent shield on his helmet and then responded.

“No need to worry about me Dita, I can take care of myself and I need you and the others to stay with the Nirvana for the time being. I'll be back in a few hours time.”

Dita pouted and smiled back.

“Don't take too long Kyo! I'll have a great meal waiting for you soon, my fahma and ohma will be wanting to meet you!”

“Okay…I'll see you later then Dita.”

As Dita's communications was over, the Gundam pilot could only sigh as he realized that he now had to deal with his new to come in laws…along with his duties as Grand Admiral of the Allied Fleet. And he then recalled what happened in his office with a shake of his head.

As soon as he was out of the Nirvana's Launching Bay and the I-Freedom's wings were opened and thrusters active he made his way to the Megele Space Academy…all the while thinking about the happenings in his office. He had taken the time to digest everything and began to explain to Devon what he and Misty had done…but before that, he asked the Talark youth if he recalled what happened.

As soon as he got all the facts straight, he explained to the two that what they did was in this case a normal reaction, and he explained patiently and calmly to Devon that what he felt was a normal reaction to a woman. The Talark youth then asked if what he did was wrong, and he explained that in a certain way, it was, but it was hardly something to be worried about since Misty didn't show that she disliked him for it. Misty agreed and she mentioned that such things happened where she came from and it was something she was used to hearing about. This made Kyo sigh but continued his explanations and was able to convince Devon that what happened was not a mistake in too many senses, but he advised the two of them to take more time in getting used to each other's company and if they felt that they could pursue the next step of their relationship, then they could. He was not sure that his advice would work…but it was better than nothing at this rate.

His thoughts were then broken when he spotted several contacts coming in on his Gundam's threat scanners and they appear to be Dreads, and sure enough, there were incoming communiqués from the interceptors. The Gundam pilot activated them and he spotted a blonde Dread pilot with deep brown eyes with her hair in a set of braids, rather fetching but she seemed serious and her question pretty much stated it.

“This is sovereign Megele territorial spaces…identify yourself.”

“This is Kyo Clyne Yamato, Grand Admiral of the Allied Fleet, I am here under clearance from Grandma herself to report to the Megele Space Academy, here's my access code and identification number.”

The Gundam pilot then gave the access code and ID number that was handed to him by his Megele liaison Commander Heidi. As soon as it checked out, the female Dread pilot and her cohorts then placed themselves around the I-Freedom as the blonde once more spoke.

“I am Meer Varnell and my squadron and I were sent to escort you unde4r orders from Commander Heidi.”

As the group moved in and headed towards the location of the Megele Space Academy, they were moving past several smaller ships of Megele design and some larger ones, including the types of battle-ships that he had seen before…and the ones he disabled in his first foray into Megele space, along with the ships were their Dread squadrons and they were all on patrol at the moment. It didn't take very long for him to see the Space Academy of Megele.

The structure looked impressive enough…reminding him of a smaller version of the PLANT stations he had seen in his days travelling between Earth and the PLANTS on covert or diplomatic missions, of just having a vacation from time to time. The place resembled the PLANTS well enough in size and shape…but not too much…he looked and spotted large numbers of Dreads in the area as well….so there was no doubt this place was a training facility for their pilots.

As they entered the area where the Dreads were being housed, along with several other ships…it didn't take long for Kyo to notice the considerable military escorts that were in the area…fully dressed in the same outfits the pirates had used when they had taken over the Nirvana back in the days when it was still known as the Ikazuchi. He wondered why that was the case until he reminded himself of something.

<I forgot this will be the first time a man ever set foot in a Megele owned facility…damn, this is going to be one of those days.>

As soon as he got his Gundam on the ground and opened the cockpit, he spotted the Megele guards…all looking at him and were not very happy, that much he could tell despite the presence of their heavy and still bulky space suits, it still made him wonder why in the name of all that was sane in the universe do they still wear them. But he was not there to comment on those things. As he rode down the cable, he spotted Commander Heidi come towards him with her own escort of Megele military forces and his liaison officer greeted him.

“Welcome Admiral Kyo, I've prepared most of the key details and the pilots we have are ready in the main briefing room, right this way please.”

As they went out of the Hanger, the Gundam pilot could tell that the military escort were busy whispering among themselves, namely the ones wearing the suits, no doubt using the built in communicators inside the suits, while those who were in the rest of the facility were all looking at him as he had his helmet removed and in his arm. Women staff members who wore the basic suits that Meia's own Dread pilots normally wear, with different colors of course were looking at his direction and unlike the ones wearing suits, he could hear their voices just fine.

“What's a man doing here?”

“Oh my Goddess…we have to talk to the commander!”

“Is he a prisoner?”

“Who made those clothes, they look so…wrong.”

“I recognize him…he's the Grand Admiral of the Allied Fleet!”

“That man's the Grand Admiral?! So it is true…”

“No way am I going to listen to a man's orders!”

“Isn't his Gundam the same one that took out an entire strike group at the penal colony when the pirates tried to escape?”

The list could go on as Kyo sighed mentally and put those thoughts out of his mind as he turned to speak to Commander Heidi.

“How many students are there in this Academy?”

“At least four hundred students…half are still recruits, then another part are veterans, and the rest are higher level pilots Admiral Yamato. They are all being assembled in the main meeting hall at the moment, you'll be meeting them there.”

As they made their way into the Academy, the Gundam pilot had to admit that for a military installation, the place resembled a resort…trees where everywhere, fountains, bright lights, the whole ten yards. He couldn't help but wonder how anything was done with so many distractions to be on hand. The pilots were going to be quite the handful when he got to talk with them, that much he figured out as he walked with Heidi and her escort team. As he arrived in the main meeting hall and entered the room…he found himself in front of a sea of Dread pilots…all wearing the same uniforms that Meia usually wore before he commissioned her Gundam pilot suit and the ones worn by the other pirates, including Meia's friend Vaora. The pilots had different shades of color to their uniforms, some had the same shade…probably indicating that they belonged to the same squadron as the others…however the rest were of varied colors, it was like looking at a multi-colored river, he could have sworn his eyes were going to break.

Kyo put that out of his mind as Commander Heidi began the meeting.

**************

“Are you sure you want to meet him soon? I think he's real busy right now.”

“We want to meet him, after all, you have said nothing but good things about him, and we want to see him for ourselves if he truly deserves such…praise.”

“I have to agree with you're ohma dear…I hope this Kyo is truly worth you're plans to…marry him, such a decision is not easy…even more so if it is with a man.”

“Kyo's no ordinary man, mama! He is a great person and he's definitely worth my praise.”

“Enough for you to actually consider being the ohma of you're child…Jura?”

Jura nodded as she looked at her parents, and she replied.

“Yes…more than anything, I consider him to be the only one I want to spend my life with and have my child, or my children with.”

“We shall see Jura.”

**************

Back on the Megele Academy…

The women were currently looking at the images of the newly created Harvester units, namely the Overlord units and their other variants…namely the ones fought by the pirates and the Gundam pilot himself. Kyo had to deal with the facts that throughout the lecture on the Harvesters' history, their level of weaponry and technology…there were women who tried to distract him…others ignored him…while some make comments that he could tell were not exactly one would consider tactful or considerate.

The Gundam pilot however put such things out of his mind…he had been called worse and he was given an important job to do…and he was not going to waste his time trading word barbs with the Dread pilots.

He pointed out that while the Dreads were effective in ranged combat and were in ways stronger than the Vanguards…they were also with weak points…weak points that the Harvesters have exploited more than once. This got the heckles of some of the women, including squadron leaders but he didn't mind that as he showed the new combat formations being used by the Harvesters, their Cube Fighters would be the front liners, while the Overlord variants, including the two colored variants were shown engaging their targets both in close and long range with their arsenal of weapons.

“As you can see…the Harvesters possess quite an edge in many ways…unlike us humans who have to train for months or years be at our best and also to have more field experience, they can merely program their forces with the needed combat data to even up the odds against their foes.”

He then showed several records of Cube Fighters, the first showed that they were being dispatched with some ease by the pirates…and the second then showed the Cube Fighters being more organized and better in terms of agility, speed, and tactics…and only in a matter of days. This was enough to get the women to pay attention as he spoke once more.

“The only known way to halt the Cube Fighters is to attack the Seed Ships…with them destroyed; the Cube Fighters they will release will also cease to function, the same can be said for the Overlords…however, the strike has to be overwhelming and effective. If not, the Seed Ships would be repaired and returned to full combat functionality.”

He then showed the images of the Harvester Battle-ships and that made the women make comments like ugly, unfashionable and the like…however, being the serious guy that he was when it came to military matters, he put those aside and explained the dangers posed by the Harvester battle-ships, their weaponry, and their main function as the central control center for all Harvester operations. He made sure to mention just how many of the ships were currently station beyond the energy storm…and the fact that while they were here in the relative safety of being behind the energy storm, the Harvesters were still able to build and prepare.

He then discussed the Gundam models that were currently being used by the Harvesters and showed that while they can be beaten…they were not to be taken lightly and were far more lethal as they could be modified by the Harvesters and customized as well to suit their combat environment…what made them more deadly was the fact that unlike the Dreads, they could operate on planetary surfaces and atmospheres…just like his own Mobile Suit and that of the men's Vanguards…which gave them all the edge in ground warfare…where the infantry of Megele would be no match for them. He also pointed out that while the Overlords were never seen operating on a planet's surface…they very well could be conditioned to do just that.

As he wrapped it up…he then told the women to ask their questions once more and then he would observe them in their training simulations to gauge their combat effectiveness.

**************

Back on the Nirvana…

Magno sighed as she looked at the incoming requests made by the arriving Megele crew who were going to be there as part of the working group with the men. The elderly captain couldn't help but grumble at the fact that her ship was now going to become a day care center. Tenmei/Buzam noted that very quickly and walked over to the elderly woman…the special vocal device on his neck was on and therefore the former Talark spy would speak in a female voice.

“Are you all right Captain?”

“I'm just a bit tired…I can't believe that we've gone from a pirate group to a day care center…with the new batch of women coming in…and no doubt the men coming in, things here are going to be a big problem to deal with.”

Buzam/Tenmei nodded at that as he/she knew that with the announcement of the alliance…there would be those from both Talark and Megele who would be tasked to live together to see if there was any possibility that men and women from their worlds could live together in the same way the crew of the formerly all female pirates had learned to live together with their former male prisoners.

There would be problems though as there would no doubt hardliners who would cause trouble in this alliance…and that was what worried Magno a great deal.

“We just have to do the best we can Captain.”

It was then that a signal came on the communication system, and they looked to see the image of Ezra smiling.

“What is it Ezra?”

“I am sorry to bother you Captain, Commander, but it seems we have a pair of guests coming to meet up with you.”

“Who are they?”

“Jin and Van…they appear to wanting to see you Captain.”

Magno smiled at the thought of meeting her husband and child and gave a nod.

“Go ahead Ezra…let them in.”

It didn't take long the two men to arrive and Jin hugged Magno and the elderly female responded with the same happiness and did so with her son who while still unsure how to act around his mother by blood, was able to respond by greeting her, though still awkwardly...Magno didn't mind that in the least and still smiled.

The couple sat down and Buzam was about to leave when Jin spoke.

“No Tenmei…you need to stay, this is important for you to hear as well…it has something to do with the soon to be arriving male delegation from Talark.”

The group then began to discuss special matters and hoped that the solutions come up with will be helpful in order to make things more stable once the two groups meet each other for the first time. As they did so, Van would sometimes ask Magno what things would have been like if they were still together…Magno sighed sadly as she and Jin thought about how life would have been like..but they all persevered and went on with their part.

**************

Back on Megele…

Kyo was looking at the pilots as they went through their simulations in combat. The Gundam pilot could already tell just who were the skilled pilots and those who needed to work on their combat strategies a bit more. He then noted that they were using the same strategy as the pirates did when they hit the Ikazuchi…but no doubt with the advent of newer weapons technology developed by the men for their ships and their Vanguards, they had to modify their tactics…as he watched them one of the women who was still against the whole idea, and an officer walked over to Kyo and spoke to him.

“So how do you find our pilots?”

Kyo looked at the results and replied to the question.

“They are not bad…but there are a lot of them that still too inexperienced for the battles ahead.”

“I disagree, sir, they will be more than a match for the Harvesters when the time comes.”

“That remains to be seen…sorry, what was you're name?”

The woman, a dark brunette with deep green eyes and long hair and dressed in the usual Megele military uniform spoke back to the Gundam pilot, hoping to see just what was it about this man that made him such a legend and someone that Grandma respected.

“My name's Alexis Carlson…and I am the leader of the 45th Dread Squadron. I still think that my fellow women will be more than a match for the Harvesters…better than some of the way the men fought.”

Kyo raised an eye-brow at that and decided to test the women in an actual battle field scenario, something he had been making for a bit…he still had records of his battles with the Harvesters and the Gundams they possessed, along with their new units and how lethal they were. He then turned to his Megele liaison and spoke to the female officer.

“Commander Heidi, have the Dread pilots end the simulation, I have a program that I will be testing them with.”

“What sort of program sir?”

“It's something that will test them on how they will fare with the Harvesters. Do not worry, this is not dangerous. I will be right back.”

The commander and Kyo's Megele liaison thought about that and agreed and gave the order for the Megele women to halt their training and wait for the Gundam pilot to return…it took at least an hour and a half for him to return with a data disk and he then accessed a nearby computer and began to program the system at a rapid pace…much to the surprise of the women there…and when he was done…he downloaded the data and it was now being used by the simulators…once he was assured that the data transfer was successful and was now ready for operational use…he gave the order for the women to run the simulations.

The women who were in the simulators were still confident that they could handle the new data…what they didn't expect was the facts that Kyo had entered a thought matrix for the newly introduced Harvester units…a controlled one, but allowed the simulations to fight more like the Harvesters did, and he included their new units, the Overlords and their own Gundam units…including the models he had been able to face on more than one occasion.

The end result was the squadrons finding their tactics to be tested to the limits as the harvester units were overwhelming them. They had been trained to fight the Talark soldiers and pilots for a long time…and they were good pilots…but the presence of the Harvesters advanced combat units and their Gundam models proved to be too much for them as one by one…or even in pairs or groups, the women were knocked out of the fight…it didn't take long for all the women to be beaten easily.

The pilots got out and were angry at losing and then they looked at Kyo with distrust. One of them was brave enough to say something.

“You cheated!”

“How did I do that?”

“You made them too hard to beat and those new units they have…”

“Are already part of the arsenal of the Harvesters…the Harvesters are not foolish…for the past year, the pirates…former Megele pirates and I have fought the Harvesters and there is one thing we know with absolute certainty…they will NOT use the same methods or units too many times…what you've faced in your simulations is merely a taste of what they can do when they have the advantage of AI units…”

Kyo then spoke as he looked at the women who were silent…including Alexis.

“They have already developed the weapons you have faced and since they have AI, like I said before…they can adapt their next batch of fighters quickly and therefore have the ability to update and upgrade their forces in a matter of days or weeks…you don't have that time. The program I installed will be your test bed for future combat operations against the Harvesters…every day I want you to be ready because this program will allow them to adapt…just like they would in real combat…and so must you. Now then…begin the simulations again and show me what you can do.”

The women grumbled and went back into their simulation cockpits and went at it again…as Kyo watched them and took notes to see how the women would be able to perform against the Harvester Armada's forces. He wanted to have to determine who would be best suited to fight the Harvesters and their forces and have them reorganized into being squadron leaders…this was not going to sit well with the officers, but it was important that skilled pilots were selected.

He then turned to Heidi and gave his orders as Grand Admiral of both the Allied Fleet and today…as Supreme Commander of the Megele Space Forces.

“Commander Heidi… I want the Dread pilots to have these exercises daily for three hours.”

“Three hours?”

“Yes, then I want them to have copies of their simulation missions on hand to look over and see where they have made mistakes and where they can improve their capabilities as pilots. Then I want them to get ready for field exercises that will involve them fighting with Harvester Cube Fighters.”

“I understand Admiral…anything else you wish to have done?”

“I want the women have as much combat experience with facing Gundam units under the command of the Harvesters…I will be having them undergo combat training against these types of foes…and I will be the opponent.”

“You Admiral?… Forgive me for saying this but isn't that risky? We can't afford you being injured in such a training exercise.”

“There's no better way for them to face a Gundam than mine…not to mention the fact that trying to salvage the wrecks of the Dominion Gundams there were with the Harvester advanced Fleet will take time…I'll need your help in sending out any salvage teams to find as many of the wrecks as can be found and that can rebuilt…they will serve as opponents for the women to face…I'll also find and help rebuilt them and the other three models…the Devastator, the Wyvern, and the Hellfire models…I have no doubts in my mind that the Harvesters have more of those three Gundam units in their forces and we need to be ready for them.”

“I see…well then, I'll be sure to relay your orders, and though I am rather late…I welcome you Megele Admiral.”

Kyo smiled at that and nodded.

“Thank you…now then, we've got work to do Commander Heidi, so I suggest we get to the brass tacks of this mess.”

“Brass tacks?”

“It's…an old Earth saying I knew as a kid in my younger days…it means let's get down to the main details.”

“All right then Admiral Yamato…we do have a lot to do.”

**************

Later on…Kyo traveled to the Dread Assembly bays to study the Dreads used by the Megele Space Force and studied their design and construction, with Heidi beside him as his Megele liaison and a small security detail…the Gundam pilot began to point out the flaws of the Dreads in a diplomatic manner to the engineering teams and showed the data to prove it from the records of the battles the pirates had with the Harvesters.

The engineers looked at it and had to agree that some improvements and redesigning had to be done for the Dreads in order for them to match up with what the Harvesters have been developing lately, and after seeing the interchanging weapon systems used by the pirates on some of their Crusader units, and how effective they were in combat…being able to rapidly adapt in battle…they decided to create some weapon systems that could very well help them even up the odds and give them a chance to face the Harvesters and their forces one on one and prevent them from being overwhelmed in a fierce fight…as they too had seen the destruction one Gundam could inflict on their forces.

Kyo did several more rounds and was busy as he was shown how the women operated in their military duties and while the number of people there were numerous and truth be told, the number of highly attractive females would have made any normal man who knew of female beauty and form would have considered himself to be in heaven…and Kyo had some thoughts of that too…he already had people he loved and found attractive beyond them…and he had a duty to do as Grand Admiral.

He then told Heidi that for one month starting the next week from his time in the Nirvana, he would then stay in Megele to begin training and testing the women and their skills…not to mention the testing of the needed upgrades on the Dreads. Heidi then asked him where he would be in the next month, and he explained that he would be training with the men of Talark and point out what was needed for them to prepare for battle.

The two planned out the situation and schedules and Kyo knew that he was going to be in for one hell of a long day and that was already saying something as such a work load is not something one can easily handle…but it had to be done regardless of the situation.

After that was finished…Kyo spent the rest of the day with the female officers…answering questions, and more…along with dodging a few attempts to get him in a bad light…some of the females who were there were actually part of the same force that he had disabled when he had gone off to free the others nearly several days before the alliance was now placed into effect, along with the days after the main battle that he and the pirates had been in with the Harvesters. Some of the women were angry at him and only the fact that he was under the protection of Grandma that he was not attacked outright by the indignant pilots…however, he could understand their anger and ire towards him…after all, he had not only defeated them…but had shown how skilled a man could be in a fight. Of course…there were those who were not happy that he was not able to come in time to save the ones of their groups who were all slaughtered by the Harvester in his Gundam…some of them had sisters, daughters, fahmas, ohmas…and more tin the ships that were decimated…along with the Dread squadrons that were all destroyed in the fighting. He put that out of his mind as he worked on building relationships with the officers…

Thankfully not every woman was after his head…apart from Heidi, there were some women who were thankful to him…having halted the bloody massacre that the Harvester leader had done on their forces days before, these women were still not truly liking him…but they did thank him and that was enough for the time being. There were those who had to admit that he was a highly skilled pilot for his abilities to have survived against such foes for nearly a year and a half ever since encountering them.

These things were tiring in their own sense…but Kyo sucked it up as he knew that it was still needed to improve cooperation and morale…Heidi then took him to his quarters and office where he would be while he was in Megele and there would be a pair of guards in his area as well. Kyo made sure to check the rooms for bugs and whatnot, as soon as he was assured that the security sweep revealed nothing unusual…he double and triple checked to be sure, he called the quarters adequate and the office worth the work.

After a few more details were worked out…he boarded the I-Freedom Gundam and planned things on his end once he got back on the Nirvana.

**************

In the Nirvana…

Kyo landed his Gundam in the hanger of the Nirvana and as soon as it was in the paddock, he powered down the systems and then got out of his Gundam…and as he walked down…he spotted Jura walking towards him, he was a bit surprised that Meia, and Dita were not about with her, or Sara or Mai. The look on the blonde's face told him that she had something of great importance to discuss with him.

As he got off the paddock, Jura walked up to him and kissed him on the cheek and the blonde Gundam pilot smiled and hugged him as well.

“So how did it go?”

Kyo smiled as he kissed her back and replied to her question.

“Been okay…had to deal with a number of questions and some women who still carry an axe to grind on men…but all in all, things seem to have a lot more promise…however, with the battle we had with the Harvesters before and the losses…we're going to have to work extra hard to get the Megele pilots up to speed to fight the Harvesters and their forces.”

Jura nodded at that and she then spoke to the Gundam pilot.

“I had a discussion with my Fahma and Ohma Kyo…they want to meet you soon enough once you're free…I told them a lot about you Kyo and they, they want to see if you're worth my support, affection…and well…the idea of you being the oh…I mean, the father of my child.”

Kyo was surprised at that and Jura replied.

“I don't mean that they are here now…they'll be here in a few weeks and so will my family. I told them to meet you when you are not busy or tied down by work…I hope you will be all right with this.”

The Gundam pilot could see the apprehension in her face and could tell that she was hoping that he was all right with the whole situation and he thanked her for that and replied.

“You can tell them that I'll be happy to meet them when the time comes.”

Jura smiled brightly and hugged Kyo again and both of them walked back to where the others were, the blonde smiled warmly at her lover and very much respected partner and fellow Gundam pilot. They arrived in the cafeteria and Kyo managed to grab a good meal of hot rice, beef stew, fish and greens, while Jura naturally took the normal meal she had and the two of them began to relax as the other pirates were moving about in their duties. As they ate, Jura began to talk to Kyo about having him as a father to her child, or children, the Gundam pilot was a bit unsure about all this and answered as best he could on the matter.

As soon as they were done, Meia and Dita arrived and the four Gundam pilots sat down on the same table and were now discussing matters…namely with Meia reminding her comrades about Kyo's current number of responsibilities as Grand Admiral of the Allied Fleet. The other Gundam pilots nodded and they agreed that they would talk about these things at a much better time. With that done and his lunch already finished, Kyo bade the girls farewell as he went back to his duties as Grand Admiral.

As he left the cafeteria, he got a call on his personal communicator, he reached for it and activated it.

“Kyo Yamato here.”

“Hello Uncle…we have some matters to discuss with you here in the Conference Room…can you make it here?”

“Of course Maggie…I'll be right there.”

The Gundam pilot made his way to the Conference Room and as soon as he arrived, he was greeted by Buzam/Tenmei and by Jin and Van…he greeted his relatives and sat down with them and began to talk with the group about the plans they would have to come up with. As Kyo thought it over…the idea seemed more promising.

“So you want us to have the men and women work together in pairs?”

“Yes…we divide the remaining rooms we have here on the colony ship section of the Ikazuchi with one man and one woman and they will be working together while here on the Nirvana. Of course we will have to determine who will be compatible with who so there will be less friction and tension between the two groups….it's a bit of a risk, but I think it's a lot better than just tossing them all together and hope for the best.”

Kyo nodded at Magno's reasoning and after all, it was a solid idea that could very well help in keeping the peace between the men and women once they were on the Nirvana. The discussions also included the need for representatives on either side to help with the program…namely Duero and Max…having lived with women for a long time would serve well as advisors and aides for the men on how to adapt to female culture and natures, while Barnette and Parfet would handle the Megele group.

Naturally Jura, Meia, Dita, Sara and Mai would also help in the Megele group while the women volunteers were on the Nirvana…while Aleck, Hiryu, and Bart would be there to help work with Max and Duero, things at this point at least were more stable and the pieces were falling together to make the situation more helpful…

**************

Later…

Kyo was tired as he took the time for his annual medical checkup in the Medical Bay and with Duero working in the Medical Bay, things were all right…the Gundam pilot knew that something was up as there was a glow of some sort in Duero…he however had an idea on why Duero seemed to be in the best of moods at the moment.

“You seem to be in a good mood today Duero.”

“I guess…it's been a while since I was able to relax…it's going to be a long for months, right Admiral?”

“I know…don't call me that by the way Duero….I may be an Admiral right now, but here on the Nirvana, I am still Kyo, all right?”

The Talark Medic smiled at that and agreed as Paiway brought Kyo a glass of water…the young nurse had heard everything and had to admit that she felt pity for the young Admiral.

“You can do it Kyo…you've done your fair share here on the ship ands then some…you can certainly do much better with the alliance.!”

Kyo smiled and nodded at Paiway as he handed back to her the glass of water as he spoke to her in appreciation for the support she was giving him.

“Thanks Paiway…I really needed to hear that. How's your work load here so far?”

“It's okay…hard, but certainly rewarding.”

“That's good…you've really come a long way Paiway…and I am really happy for that, well…I'll see you guys…I need to get some sleep…I've got to rest because tomorrow…I have to go to Talark soon and get things set up with the men on the other side of the alliance.”

Duero and Paiway bid Kyo farewell, as Max came in and greeted Kyo as well, the younger brother getting ready to start his shift alongside his brother and their apprentice Paiway. The two brothers were hard at work and knew that sooner or later…they too would have their own roles to play in the alliance between Talark and Megele soon enough.

**************

Kyo's quarters…

Kyo arrived in his room and sighed as he lay down on his bed and decided to get some shut-eye, he had been working for a long time at the moment and some shut-eye before dinner was certainly going to be worth it all.

<Man…what a day…it's going to have top be like this for four months…this is going to take quite a lot of getting used to.>

The Gundam pilot however went to sleep quickly and sure enough…he was at least in normal clothes and he needed to get some rest and now he was getting it…as he slept for an hour and a half…he was unaware of the fact that his room's door was opened and someone came into his room. The smell of cooked food however was enough to make him wake up quickly. The Gundam pilot looked and much to his surprise he found himself looking at Jura in her normal dress with a smile on her face and cart next to her with food on the table.

The blonde smiled and greeted her lover.

“Hi there Kyo…you look like you could use a meal…so I brought you something to feed your stomach…enjoy it!”

Kyo looked at the food and he reached out and began to eat the food, which had roasted meat in barbecue sauce, corn and carrot bits, hot potatoes and celery. There was also some cool water in a glass and a small bun of bread. Being hungry and tired, he wasted little time in gobbling up this early dinner that Jura had provided…and to his surprise…Jura got behind him on the bed and as he was nearing the completion of his meal, the blonde began to massage his shoulders and he was happy as the knots in his body began to unravel…cramped muscles and aching areas began to loosen and relax as the blonde continued to massage him with rather surprising skill…

Kyo sighed contently as he finished his food and allowed Jura to massage his shoulders and back and he felt even more relaxed as he felt his food settle in nicely and he was about to fall asleep again, but he was awake enough to look at Jura and smiled at her in appreciation for what she was doing for him.

“Thanks Jura…I didn't know you could do this.”

“What?”

“The massage…I wasn't aware you could do that.”

The blonde chuckled at that and replied.

“I'm not surprised…I used to do this to my ohma when I was still younger and I figured with all the pressure on you being the Admiral of both Talark and Megele's forces, you need to unwind now and then…I should have done this to you a long time ago when we first met.”

“Why?”

“You look so content and happy…and you certainly look handsome when you're fully relaxed you know…”

“Gee…thanks Jura…I really need this…the day I spent there with the Megele military was tough…and I have to get used to it all since the time will come that I have to be there to oversee the training and preparation of the Megele Navy for the soon to come battle…and then there is also the fact I have to work with the men of Talark and have them ready to…

Jura smiled and placed a finger on Kyo's lips and spoke.

“Let's not talk about that for now…here…it's just the two of us…and now…I have something which can really help you relax…”

**************

(Lemon time gentlemen and ladies! It's between Jura and Kyo for the moment right now…but don't worry, Meia, Sara, Mai, and Dita will have their chance soon enough.)

Kyo was not able to say another word as Jura kissed him, the two kissed one another and Kyo turned around and forced Jura to lie on his bed…the two continued to kiss one another as Kyo reached for the latch and like clock-work he was able to remove Jura's dress once more, though it required him…revealing the stunning blonde's well endowed form…the blonde was blushing at that as Kyo looked at her with lust, love and desire in his eyes.

Kyo reached for Jura's breasts and held the fleshy orbs in his hands and felt them once more…he then played with her nipples gently…and in just the way Jura liked it done…making the blonde moan out loud at the sensations that were flooding her body, she had wanted that in a while and Kyo noted that as she moaned at his ministrations…and he loved that a lot in her as he played with her breasts. He then leaned downward and began to lick and kiss both her nipples evenly and then he kissed her breasts even more…while moving his left hand towards her face…as soon as he was done, he kissed her once more and passionately as well. Their tongues dueled with one another as Jura loved the taste of her lover, and Kyo did likewise as well as they kissed once another more deeply.

Kyo broke the kiss and Jura moaned a bit at that as he began to remove his clothes as his body was already heating up…it didn't take him very long to be now be bare of his clothes as Jura helped him along with the removal of them…he reached for her once more and the kissed as they were on the bed on their knees…Kyo ran his hands into Jura's deep blonde hair and marveled at the feel of her silken like golden tresses as they kissed each other deeply once more.

Jura on the other hand had other ideas as she ran her hands from Kyo's chest to his cock and ran her hands on the sex of her lover and felt it as it was already hard from their previous actions. Kyo moaned in their kiss at the feel of Jura caressing his sex with a good motion…no doubt she had realized how to pleasure a man with her hands and it showed as Kyo moved from caressing her hair and her scalp and went o her breasts once more…making her moan as he played with her breasts. The two caressed one another and Kyo was enjoying this greatly as they would stop kissing for a few moments to get more air back into their lungs…his cock was hard and was now touching Jura's stomach…making the blonde blush bright red at the fact that her lover's cock was prodding her belly and her navel. Kyo smiled wickedly at that as they kissed once more and he moved his left hand to his lover's own sex.

Jura's pussy was already wet and was dripping her honey and Kyo liked that as he ran his hands gently over her outer lips…making Jura moan loudly as she continued to pleasure him with her own actions on his cock, she moaned as Kyo began to run his hands on her wet vagina slowly and sensually…making her body even hotter and her moisture to flow even more into Kyo's hands…Kyo liked that a lot and made that clear to Jura as he kissed her neck and nibbled her left earlobe the way she loved that done by him. The two kissed one another as Kyo slowly parted his lover's pussy and the fluid filled his hand as he began to move his fingers into her tight and wet sex.

Jura moaned out loud as Kyo did that and he moaned as Jura began to play with the tip of his cock and then her other hand was now caressing his sac…Jura was naturally careful with that part of her lover's body as well…knowing how sensitive they were to touch. Kyo loved that and then decided to give Jura a favor as he gently moved his fingers in her tight, wet, and soft sex to locate the elusive G-spot…like all young men in their teens, he had heard of it and he knew that Jura had one as well…and the trick was to find it.

It didn't take long for him to locate that part of his lover's sex and he gently played with it, with his other hand playing with Jura's breasts still…the blonde cried out and so did Kyo as they pleasured one another…Jura continued and kissed Kyo deeply…with him replying in kind as he pleasured her G-spot…the results were hot and steamy for both lovers as their pleasure began to increase further and further…until they reached the end as they both orgasmed.

Both Jura and Kyo moaned at the same time as they came at the very same time…Jura's pussy milked Kyo's fingers…adding more pleasure to both of them as he touched her G-spot…Kyo's hand was soaked by Jura's honey while Jura felt Kyo's own seed splash on her stomach and her hands…she felt the touch of his hot seed on her skin and that made her more aroused as she felt it begin to run down her stomach to her thighs and her sex…she moved her hands away from her lover's sex…just as Kyo did and with a seductive smile, he licked her hands clean…removing the cum that was on her hands, doing so in a very sensual manner.

Not to be outdone…Kyo showed the hand he had used and licked off Jura's honey that covered it, slowly in front of the blonde woman…making them both smile and become more heated towards one another as they closed the gap and kissed one another…as they broke away, the blonde moved down and removed the remaining traces of her lover's own seed and took them daintily in her hands and repeated the actions…much to Kyo's desire.

Jura smiled and then spoke to her lover.

“Lie down…let's try this then…”

Kyo raised an eye brow but did as Jura suggested to him and as soon as he did so…Jura moved to him and then moved over him and faced the other way so she was facing his crotch and his cock, while her still wet sex was now above Kyo. The blonde Gundam pilot smiled warmly and then parted her blonde hair to the sides in the middle so her hair wouldn't cover her lover's face, and she licked her lover's sex gently…making Kyo hiss in pleasure.

The blonde began to gently lick, suck, and kiss her lover's sex and Kyo decided to return the favor has he reached for Jura's very well shaped rear and licked her pussy's outer lips…making the blonde moan and become more aroused as she slowly took in her lover's cock into her mouth and slowly licked it…knowing how it was done, she loved the feel of it and it made her feel both powerful and sexy at the same time. Kyo likewise returned the favor by licking his lover's sex and tasting her sweet juices…Jura moaned out loud and continued with her actions on her lover's sex as well…her tongue caressed Kyo's cock gently and sensually, and when she moved her head up and down, she would occasionally release Kyo's cock and lick the head and all the way to the base and then take Kyo's sex back into her mouth.

Kyo would lick Jura's sex and gently push in his tongue into Jura's inner channel and his tongue was being caressed by Jura's inner walls…the blonde moaned as she moved her head up and down as she had her lover's sex in her mouth and the vibrations as she did so sent pleasure down Kyo's spine and he responded by licking and gently sucking on her clit…making Jura moan and work on her oral ministrations on her lover even more…she then caressed Kyo's balls and took the time to move from his cock to his sac and gently played with his balls gently in her mouth…further adding pleasure to Kyo and she then continued with her part in the position that she knew was the 69.

She had no idea how it worked at first…until she reviewed the video collection she had with her and figured it out and she had to admit that it was certainly worth doing as she not only gave pleasure to her lover, but he gave her pleasure as well…she had a plan in mind to show this to the others soon…but for now…this was between Kyo and her.

The two continued as Jura increased her actions and so did Kyo and naturally…it didn't take long for both of them to orgasm together...

Jura moaned as she felt her lover's sex convulse and she readied herself in time as Kyo's cum filled her mouth, she calmed herself and took in as much as she could as she deepened her hold on her lover's sex, she managed to take Kyo's cock in her mouth until it hit the back of her throat…while still releasing his sperm in her mouth…Kyo likewise got his own share as he tasted Jura's juices as they flowed out of her sex, while her inner womanhood caressed his tongue…adding pleasure to him as well. The two lovers stayed in this position for a while until they parted and Jura lay on the bed and Kyo got between her thighs and he lifted her legs and placed them on his shoulder and with a smile from Jura…pushed his cock into her wet and tight sex. The two lovers moaned out loud at the sensations that flooded their bodies as they savored the sensations slowly and fully. As soon as they were feeling ready, Kyo began to move slowly and carefully…making Jura moan out loud as the Gundam pilot began to make a rhythm and began to move his cock in and out of his lover's wet sex.

The two continued with these motions for as long as they were able…Jura moaned out loud and she held to Kyo as he continued to move in and out of her pussy…the sounds of their union were both wet, erotic…and very arousing to both of them.

“OH!!! HARDER!!! RIGHT THERE!!!!”

“JURA!!!!”

Kyo continued the pace and then reached down and played with Jura's breasts…further adding to the pleasure the blonde felt, he then let her legs down and she quickly wrapped them around his waist and she held him tight as he leaned forward to play with her breasts with his hands and mouth, along with further moving his hips…pushing his cock into her wet vagina and making her feel alive and in heaven… and as he did those actions…Jura was moaning out loud as the pleasure assaulted her senses….no matter how many times she had felt this with Kyo…every second…every moment was pure heaven with him…to think that nearly a year ago she had no idea about this…and now…she was feeling the love, lust, desire, passion, joy, and pleasure not just in making love to a man…but a man who truly was special to her…she would never replace this with anything else in the universe…nothing could replace this feeling…with the exception of the knowledge that no matter what happened…Kyo loved her and she loved him back…and they would soon have a child from this…

“I….I…LOVE YOU!!!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!”

“JURA!!! I LOVE YOU TOO!!!”

“MORE!!!!”

Kyo complied and increased his actions and it paid off as Jura's pleasure increased as both of them once more activated their respective SEED abilities…the effects were obvious as they gained an increase in all their physical abilities, Jura looked at Kyo and kissed him deeply as he continued to thrust into her warm and wet sex…Kyo looked back at Jura as he continued to pleasure her…he wanted this to last and then decided to try another position.

The two then moved and Jura changed her position and was now on her hands and knees as Kyo got behind her as she moved her hips sensually and Kyo got the signal and pushed his cock right into Jura's tight, soft, and wet sex…the blonde moaned out loud at the feel of her lover's sex now in her pussy and they two savored the moment as long as they could.

The young man then began to move his hips, while he held his lover's hips with his hands and the blonde woman was moaning out as she felt another wave of intense pleasure in her body and her mind…Jura moaned and screamed out her pleasure as each thrust of Kyo's cock into her wet pussy made her even hotter and wilder.

“YES!!!!! MORE!!!! OH GOOOODDDDESSSSSSSS!!!!!”

“JURA!!! THIS IS….!!!”

“MORE!!!!!”

Kyo looked at saw Jura's breasts moving in the air in time with each thrust of his hips and every movement of her body and he was aroused as he leaned down and held her breasts in his hands and played with them and made Jura even hotter through those same actions. The two lovers were doing the very same position that Barnette and Max had used on their first night together…and both found it to be worth learning as the sensations they gave each other in sex was magnified by the position. It didn't take very long for both of them to reach their limits as they came once more and shouted their release at the same time.

“KYO!!!!”

“JURA!!!!”

The blonde moaned out loud as she felt her lover's hot seed flow into her pussy and into her womb…she knew that she was not yet at the right time to be fertile…but she was not in a hurry as she wanted to savor this moment…knowing that a part of Kyo's very being was inside of her and having the potential to give her a child born of both their blood and born of their love for one another was a pleasure that she treasured well…she sighed as she felt it in her womb and the feel of her lover' still hard cock in her sex made her more aroused.

Kyo felt his lover's inner walls milk his sex and he felt his seed flow out and knowing that Jura was a woman that he loved with his heart and more was making the pleasure of release even more delicious and intense for him…he looked at his lover and saw the same pleasure and joy on her face and that made him even happier that she had that face on her that made her look more like a Goddess with golden hair. He then slowly moved away and held Jura and whispered in her ear…

“I love you Jura Basil Elden…”

Jura smiled warmly at that and replied back to her lover.

“And I love you…Kyo Clyne Yamato.”

Both lovers then moved to lie down on the bed side by side…as much as they would have gone on with another round…both of them needed to rest and with a final deep passionate kiss, they fell asleep.

**************

Later…

Kyo opened his eyes and couldn't help but groan a bit as he felt his body being tired, but he was content to say the least. He then turned and spotted Jura lying next to him the same position as before…with her right arm on him and her right leg as well. The blonde was sleeping and had a warm smile on her face. Kyo loved that look on her and gently kissed her on the lips, making her mumble a bit in her sleep and move a bit.

That act made Kyo react as his body began to go back to arousal…but he was not going to let that happen right now as they were both tired at the moment…however, he looked and spotted the chronometer and saw that he had only an hour before it was dinner time. And after that hot period of making love with the blonde…he needed something in his stomach. With some regret…the Gundam pilot gently moved away from Jura and decided to get a shower before heading to dinner.

A few minutes later…Jura woke up herself and stretched herself…and moving her body in a very sensual way…she removed the sleep from her eyes and looked about…she smiled warmly at the memories of what they did and also the sound of running water…getting up slowly so as not to make any noise that might alert her lover, she walked into the bath-room still in the nude and entered the shower.

Kyo jumped a bit as he felt Jura's arms around his stomach and then felt her breasts press on his back along with her sexy and well sculpted body next to his own. The blonde moved forward and whispered into her lover's ear seductively.

“You should have told me you were going to have a shower…I could have joined you.”

“Well…you were still sleeping and I didn't want to wake you up.”

“How considerate…another thing about you I love…well now that I'm here I guess that we both can shower together….and do something just as relaxing.”

Kyo was stunned at the statement and could only turn his head and speak.

“I think we've already done that Jura.”

The blonde giggled and then made Kyo turn around and she kissed him as the water from the shower began to hit her as well covering her in droplets of water…that and the lights in the shower room added another sensual quality to the blonde female. As soon as the kiss ended, she replied.

“I hardly think so….besides…I was planning to do this before in that apartment you were in before…and now seems a good a time as any.”

Before Kyo could say anything else…Jura kissed him yet again while slowly running her hands on his road chest…feeling the hard and strong muscles underneath his wet skin, as she did so, she kneeled down and held his now hardening cock and kissed it…as the water from the shower beat down on them both, Jura licked and kissed Kyo's sex and then she placed the cock between her breasts and pressed her boobs together and then began to move her body slowly up and down. As soon as she found her rhythm, she looked at saw the utter desire in Kyo's face.

The feel of Jura's soft, but firm, wet and smooth breasts rubbing his cock all over and her occasional lick and kiss on his cock's head made Kyo groan out in pleasure…any form of protest died a horrible death as he looked at his lover and saw her blushing face covered in water…her hair like a wet blanket of golden silk behind her and his cock moving in and out of her breasts…the feel of that and the way Jura looked made Kyo even harder and that was to the delight of his blonde lover as he continued her actions on him…

It didn't take long for Kyo to finally lose it as he cried out his orgasm as he fired out his seed…some of it hit Jura in the face and she took some into her mouth and let some fall to her neck and her breasts as she released her lover's sex from it's fleshy prison of her breasts and she then took her lover's cock into her mouth and sucked it gently…taking more of his hot seed into her mouth…as soon as she was done she got up and Kyo moved in for the kill…so to speak as he lifted her left leg and with his cock still hard, he pushed it into her wet sex and the male Gundam pilot began to thrust into his lover's wet vagina…making Jura moan out loud as Kyo began to move his cock in and out of her wet sex once more.

The blonde moaned out loud and Kyo then kissed her deeply as their wet bodies began to caress each other as both moaned at the sensations. Kyo then held Jura's smooth and shapely posterior as she wrapped her arms around him as well and they kissed each other while Kyo continued to thrust into Jura's wet sex. The two continued their actions as the water beast down on them and Kyo then moved away a bit and both he and Jura sat down on the floor of the bath room as Jura wrapped her legs around Kyo and began to move herself up and down on his cock…his sex was deep inside her and thrust deeply at every movement she made, Jura blushed and moaned out loud as she continued to move her body up and down and taking in her lover's cock into her wet pussy over and over again.

And the pleasure that she was getting was driving her out of her mind as she kissed her lover deeply and reveled in the feel of her body covered in water rubbing sensually on his own wet and hard form. The two continued their actions as Kyo reached out and played with Jura's breasts, savoring their slick and wet feel and he would often lean forward as Jura would lean back a little and allow him the chance to suck and play with her breasts with his mouth. The blonde held on and as they reached their end…Kyo stopped and managed to help Jura to her feet and turned her around at face the shower and he then thrust deeply into her wet sex…making Jura moan out loud.

The two continued as Kyo played with Jura's wet breasts as the water beat down on both of them and he continued to thrust his cock into Jura's wet and dripping sex and the blonde continued to cry out.

“MORE!!!! MOOOOORRREEEE!!!!”

It was then that both lost it and both came…Jura screamed at the top of her lungs and so did Kyo as the feelings of utter pleasure and satisfaction filled them both. Jura nearly lost her limbs, and while Kyo was also tired…he had enough strength to help Jura sit down and both of them held one another as they sat down on the floor of the shower and let the water cover them a bit more and they held one another and then they kissed one another gently….along with Kyo and Jura caressing each other with their hands…Kyo playing with Jura's hair, face, breasts, nipples, her stomach, the patch of blonde fur between her thighs and then her pussy as well…while Jura ran her hands on Kyo's muscled chest, his shoulders, his face and neck, and lower to his abs and then his cock, gently playing with her lover's own sex…making it react a little…much to her delight and Kyo's own surprise.

As they two of them broke the kiss and leaned on the shower wall, Kyo couldn't help but sigh and speak.

“You know…if you keep this up…I might not even make it to dinner.”

Jura grinned and kissed him back.

“I think you've already had your dinner my love…”

“Haha…I love you Jura…and I mean it.”

Jura smiled at that and hugged her lover and possible future husband…it was a bit of a pain to share him with the other women, but she was more than okay with it after all. And Ktyo was certainly a man worth loving, she knew that well. She however planned to tell the others about this soon enough. They might pick up a trick or two.

“I love you too…and I'll never get tired of saying that or you Kyo.”

“I know…”

Later, the two of them got dressed and then walked back to the Nirvana's galley, a bit tired but they were up and about and decided to grab dinner and Kyo knew that tomorrow was going to be yet another challenge as he would have to leave the Nirvana for the end of the week and spend a month among the Megele women and get them ready for the challenge of having a male commander in charge…it was going to be a hell of a month…but being who he is…he was more than ready for the task…for now…it had a chance to take things easy for now here on the ship.

Because it was going to be a very long and hard life he would be stepping into once he was on Megele. Once he was there…he was going to be busy for every hour and every day and week of the first month.

He hoped that soon, they could be ready for the up and coming battles ahead. As they arrived in the galley, the two spotted the others, including Meia, Sai, Sara, and Dita waiting for them…while Max and Barnette were in their usual seat, eating and talking together…and smiling at one another as well. The same could be said for Parfet and Duero as the couple would be eating together and having a good time as well.

A she gathered his food along with Jura and sat down with the others…he wondered just what the heck was the Harvester force doing at the moment…namely their leader.

**************

The Harvester Invasion Fleet…

The Harvester leader looked at the incoming data and smiled warmly at it…the Harvester forces were ready for the mass production of their forces…when they were ready…then all will fall before them. For now he can take it easy and take his time in preparation…his training was over for today…but there was always another way to relax.

The door opened and in walked a clone operator…a female at that with quite the figure and looks, but while she was human in the senses…she was an obedient slave to the Harvesters…and to the leader…after all, like the others…he saved them and she owed him.

“You summoned me Leader?”

“Yes…I want you to help me relieve my stress.”

“How shall you want me to do so Leader?”

The leader smiled in a warm fashion, unlike his sadistic nature in the previous battles and then went over to the clone and brought her before his own sleeping area and then removed her communicator…

Later…

The leader smiled as he looked out while sitting on his bed…thinking about the coming battle, his companion asleep and under his covers for today.

(Soon, it will all be over and my revenge will be complete…but today I have my own time…)

He gave the clone female in his bed a warm look and then went back to her….intent on enjoying things for as long as he could. And for today it was time for him to get something to eat this time, he would then have to oversee the production of the new generation weapon systems and units for the upcoming war with the pirates, the people of both Talark and Megele…and of course…Kyo Yamato himself.

It was going to be a long four months…but with all that was going to happen soon…in his mind it was all worth the wait.

To be continued…

Author's Notes:

Sorry for the long delay…had too many projects and ideas…plus real life stuff that kept me busy…however, I do have some news.

I have been able to get the application to show that I am eligible graduate from college and will be doing so in the coming weeks…that's why I've been busy as I can be at the moment and thankfully…now that I am leaving college, I can have more free time on my hands.

The lemon is not the same as the ones I made before…I haven't written one in quite a while so it might not be the best and I must admit, I am out of practice in this case…so I hope that this lemon will be more than enough for the readers to look at. If not then I apologize for that and hope that my next chapters and lemons are worth it. We do need to give Kyo the chance to relax, unwind, and enjoy life and love since he is going to have his hands full in the Chapter 12 arc as he not only juggles his own personal problems…but having been promoted as Grand Admiral and Commander of the forces of TWO planets and civilizations…he is going to have his hands full in dealing with two factions who have to work together…

Of course, the other couples will be at it also to even things up…and we will get to how Misty and Devon will handle the situation between them…and another couple might soon appear out of the blue on the coming chapter arcs. The more the merrier I say! (^ _ ^) And wait till we see how the first two groups of men and women on the Nirvana from either world will react to the situation.

However, on the Chapter 13 arc I have to warn you that since it is the official ending arc of GunDread SEED The Second Stage there will not be that many lemons since it will be primarily all combat and battles as the Resistance, the Nirvana crew and their fellow pirates, and the newly formed Talark-Megele Alliance will be facing the full power of the Harvester Invasion Fleet…

And unlike the fleet defeated by the original cast of VanDread, the Harvesters in this story have Gundams and new models of the said Gundams, Mobile Suits, and over forty battleships…and naturally, unlike the kid leader in the original series that had telepathic and telekinetic powers ( I saw the anime) we have the Harvester leader who is an ace Gundam pilot able to match Kyo in move for move and his Gundam is truly the evil version of Infinite Freedom…unlike the paltry seven that were sent before…this is not just an invasion force…but an extermination fleet.

So when we enter the Chapter 13 arc…expect things to get REALLY dicey!!!

See you on the next chapter!!!
