Megele…

Kyo was busy as it was early morning on Megele and he needed to get some needed exercise in order to relax and get limber in the day. Last night's party was rather loud and extravagant…as was expected in a place like Megele and after all he had seen it was rather overdoing it…and that was a concern that eh would have to address at some point and time when he got back to his duties on the Megele military…but for now he placed those thoughts aside as he walked out of the hotel and arrived near the beach. He looked about and made sure that he was the only one there and when he was assured that he was alone, he began to train in the martial arts in order to loosen up…but not before stretching and doing some jogging on the beach for a few minutes.

This was something of a routine he had whenever he was on a planet without battles and he just needed to rest and gather supplies in his free time….it kept him fit and the reason he never did this on nirvana was that he preferred to keep this limited to planets when he was able to do so. As soon as a light sweat was on his body and the first slivers of morning light came to the horizon, he went down to the routine and used his martial arts training to strengthen his muscles.

As Kyo felt his body adapt and move with better speed and power, he threw kicks and punches as he moved in a graceful kata that made it seem that he was fighting with several variants of martial arts. The Gundam pilot focused himself and he felt his body and mind begin to work in cohesion with one another and that was something he enjoyed and it helped him well.

The Gundam pilot was so focused in his training that he didn't notice that he was attracting a small audience. Meia, Jura, Dita, Sara, and Mai were awakened and had attempted to sneak into Kyo's bedroom suite to surprise him, but they were surprised to find the place empty and there for a moment they began to panic…until Dita suggested they try and use the special senses that they had gotten from Kyo and were able to find him…they were about to call him but decided not to and they were happy that they didn't disturb him as Kyo began his routine in the martial arts.

The five girls were also enthralled by the images and it was understandable that they also didn't pay much attention to the place and area around them as they were more interested in looking at Kyo as he went through the martial arts routine and it was only when a number of voices filled the air that they turned and found nearby that a number of other Megele females were on the scene…most of them were hotel support staff and others were also some of the few Megele officers who were early risers as well. They were commenting about what Kyo was doing and it was Jura who put a stop to that with a spoken phrase.

“Keep quite!”

The women were surprised and watched as the blonde was joined by her companions in giving them warning glares and while not that intimidating was unexpected to say the very least as the five girls went back to watching Kyo do his routine training…as the sunlight began to fill up the beach and the sound of gentle waves came in as well. The audience grew until it turned out that some of the new arrivals were members of Megele's media group that were there to cover the last day of the party being hosted by the government and the moment they were in the area…they quickly recorded what was happening in the beach.

It naturally didn't take long for Kyo…who was dressed only in a light pair of training pants when he began his exercise to know that he had company and that made him rather self conscious…granted that he had only been wearing his swimming trunks yesterday during the party but this was definitely something he was not expecting this early in the day…but he decided to finish the training anyway and worry about the consequences later, besides…it's not like he was doing anything indecent anyway…just training, right?

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

In the dining hall…

Kyo was busy eating some hot rice and ham with eggs as he sat there alongside Dita and the others who were with him at the moment…the Gundam pilot occupied a reserved table for him and his companions were all around him while they were in the large hall, which he had been in before, last night for the dinner party. The Hotel was certainly an eye full in his mind and the many decorations and designs were a lot than he expected…along with other things such as statues…most of them were artistic and some were following human shape.

That was not on Kyo's mind as he recalled the massive number of people who had witnessed his training in the beach earlier and it had given him a lot to explain over the course of his trip back to his room…being accompanied by Jura and the others as he went into the suite he was assigned to and took a long shower…keeping the water neutral in temperature and he dressed in a simple but classy pair of clothes, a white long sleeved shirt and black jeans with simple shoes…simple but he was comfortable in them and he took comfort over style many times in his life. As he ate his food he felt the stares being directed at him by the people in the hall and it was getting to be rather annoying but he knew that it was part of what he had to expect and being in the company of the women he loved helped him ease through those feelings and situations.

The one thing that galled him a bit more the rumors he kept hearing about him and sometimes directed at Dita, Jura, Meia, Sara, and Mai…it was getting on his nerves when some of the rumors he heard were far from being polite and that was what irritated him to the most at this point and time but he knew that to balance it out…there were nice people here enough people who didn't have too many bad things to say about him being here on Megele and that was enough.

He finished his meal and then took the time to watch his companions eat their own food at the moment and he listened to their conversations.

The girls were busy trading stories back and forth being the friends they had been before he came on the Nirvana and into their lives and he couldn't help but smile at that as he listened intently to their stories back and forth and laughed with them when something funny came on the area of conversation as well. He then wondered just what was happening back the Nirvana at the moment and how his comrades were doing back there with their current slew of duties.

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

Back on the Nirvana…

Duero was busy working on several cases of injuries to the crew and he was doing his work patiently and admirably as he always didn't, but he seemed a bit more alert and somewhat better focused in his duties. As he finished checking the last case, he took the time to sit back and calm his mind and he couldn't help but smile a bit as he thought back on his meeting with Parfait's ohma and fahma. The meeting was not that bad and they were open-minded about the affections their daughter had towards him…and apparently things were going to be all right.

Truth be told…it was nerve wracking as he was busy giving them information about the past year and his relationship with their child, and while at first glance that didn't seem to be that hard, it was to him in a lot of ways. They listened intently and Parfait filled in other details that she knew were of great importance to her parents and that helped the two understand why their daughter spoke so highly of him and his contributions to the pirates…and…to her.

The Talark doctor stopped his musings as a certain someone came into the room and he turned to see Parfait smile and she hugged him as soon as she was close enough to him. The Talark doctor smiled and hugged her back and Parfait then kissed him in the cheek and spoke.

“How is work Duero?”

“It's been tiring but rewarding as well.”

Parfait knew that to be true and she hoped that when peace time had finally come once the war was finally over with the harvesters she and Duero could start thinking about their own future together…her ohma and fahma were highly approving of Duero and had even spoken with Duero's Alpha and her parents and Duero's only father seemed to be comfortable talking with them and that was something that Parfait liked a great deal. The two sets of parents were in very good terms and that was something that made her even more comfortable as well.

Parfait then did her work and checked the Medical Bay's computers while Duero greeted a new band of men from Talark who came to ask him questions regarding women and when they saw Parfait they were somewhat surprised to see a woman there…but they decided to talk only to Duero as that was the reason they were there in the first place. The men were very curious about why is it that whenever Parfait would smile at Duero's direction, the young Talark medic would smile back at her as well…almost with affection

The men were becoming a lot more comfortable with the women in the Nirvana…mainly the ones who were from the Megele delegation though there were the usual ups and downs of the situation as well, the women would do something that confounded the men and the same would happen when the men did something that confounded the women as well…though it seemed that things at least were smoother…better in some respects than what the crew of the Nirvana had to deal with for the past year and a half…while working together to get home. So far things were more hectic and the crew would take whatever time they had to relax from the hard work that they had to be part of.

In another part of the Nirvana…Max was busy on his own end as he was discussing some of the fundamental differences between men and women to several women who were on the Megele delegation, with Barnette helping him out on areas that had to be understood better by her comrades from Megele. The emerald haired woman was comfortable with her loved one and so was he and she even told them how she and Max met…much to his embarrassment and it made more than one of the Megele delegation wonder if there was truly a chance a woman could love a man from Megele…of course the biggest examples of such unions were none other than Duero and Parfait, and Max and Barnette themselves…and there were other friendships between men and women as well.

The friendship between Gascogne and Aleck had been growing for the past few weeks as the strong and tough head supplier was normally seen in the company of the hardnosed but dependable Vanguard pilot. They were usually seen playing cards and trading stories back and forth, along with Aleck helping out in the Register every now and then.

There were other signs that the project was working well as there had been less incidents of misunderstandings between the delegations of men and women and it was improving the morale and belief in the alliance between Talark and Megele at the moment.

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

Back on Megele…

Kyo was enjoying the sights of the beach as the last day of the three day long party was reaching it's end with a large open area buffet in the hotel's outer courtyard facing the beach at the moment. And there were speeches and more as the women enjoyed their celebration, while he and his companions were also looking at the celebration…the place was also being recorded by the media as they were focused on the party and him as well…he had no doubt that by the end of today…he was going to be on the news all over again…not like that was anything new…he had gotten so used to it for the past few weeks that he was ready for another interview the very second they asked him questions.

Jura, Dita, Meia, Sara, and Mai were never apart from him and he would not have it any other way as they looked on and then several reporters came towards Kyo and asked him another band of questions that were very much different and they wanted to know what his thoughts were on this world that he was on and one he was charged to protect from the Harvesters. He told the reporters that while there were some things he disapproved of on Megele…such as their rivalries with one another and the overuse of resources…it was beautiful world fighting for and he would do what he could to defend it but reminded them at that they all had to stand united with the men to accomplish such an end... and to do that…they needed to work and prepare and be ready for the battles ahead…and to avenge those who died in the war with the Harvesters.

As the party began to die down and come to an end…Heidi arrived with a few guards and Kyo extracted himself from his companions and went to his liaison officer, Heidi saluted him and then spoke to him.

“I was informed by Grand Ma…she had seen your actions in the party while you were here on our planet Admiral Yamato…and she is happy for all that you have done to the survival and credibility of the Alliance…there will still be dissent but you have begun the process of making the Alliance a reality…so she had given you one week leave starting today.”

“Really?”

Kyo was surprised at that…he had been wondering if he was going to be taken back to work and he would leave to ride in his Gundam, the I-Freedom…but it seemed that his arrival had played a key role in further improving the Alliance in the eyes of the women on Megele and that in his mind was a good thing.

“Yes…she has also issued a high priority protection order on you while you are here on vacation. That means that the Megele Military Intelligence Agency will be responsible for your protection and under Grand Ma's personal order while you are here on Megele for the duration of your stay…Grand Ma has even commissioned a bank account for you to use while you are here.”

Kyo smiled at that and made his way back to the others and told them the news and they were naturally pleased with that fact that he was now able to reside in Megele for a week and they had every intention to make his stay here in their world a very memorable one. Heidi was pleased as well…she had grown to admire and respect the young Admiral though chronologically she was FAR older than her or anyone else on Megele at the moment.

She then decided to return to her duties and needed to make a check on the Admiral's Gundam…the I-Freedom was currently under strict guard in a Megele Military Hanger at the moment and was under strict security and was not tampered with under Grand Ma's orders…she had told Kyo that the Mobile Suit that he piloted was in good hands and it was…several women had attempted to bypass the security but they were removed without incident…the Commander had seen how the Mobile Suit performed and knew that NO woman could master it the way the Admiral of the Allied Fleet did. And besides that…The admiral did state that the Mobile Suit was not only heavily protected by a security program…but it had something of a sentient system that forbade anyone else from operating it except him…and she took his word for it.

The party celebrants were all brought back to their residences and Kyo was brought back to his place in the Military building and he then packed up his gear and clothes as he now was convinced by Jura to bunk down with them in her summer home. He was still not very sure about all this but decided not to argue and he got ready to go as he and the five girls rode in the car he had rebuilt and headed to the summer home…

Jura's parents were well connected to have the summer home resemble a mansion that was spacious and decorated to the extreme and was well made too…the security seemed to be top class and the people who resided here would have lived in complete luxury and comfort as well, Kyo speculated as he was escorted into the compound by the girls and he was guided to the room he would be staying in for the time being…there were several servant girls in the compound as well…no doubt residents in the summer home as well.

As Kyo entered his newly assigned room…he whistled at the very specious sight and thought about staying here…when he could very well fit the living room, dining room, and kitchen of his old home into this one room. There was already a bed and some closets though what they were full of he had no idea at the moment.

“Wow…this is one spacious place….you sure I can stay here Jura?”

“Of course I do…besides, as much as you were able to stay in that hotel…I doubt you can afford being there for too long, the rates are high and here at least you'll be our company.”

The Gundam pilot gave her and the others a very curious and sly look as they all blushed at him in answer and he spoke.

“I give up…all right…give me a few minutes to unpack.”

As Kyo finished the unpacking…he dressed into a comfortable pair of pants and a shirt with sandals and made his way through the house and marveled at the sights once more when he spotted Dita walking up to him with a warm and open smile and it seemed that she was not alone as there were two other people behind her and it seemed that they were eager to meet him for some reason as he could tell that from the way they were looking at them…Dita naturally introduced them to one another.

“Kyo…this is my ohma, Marian Liebely.”

The women before him had the same deep red hair that Dita had on her…but in her case it was in a shorter length than Dita's and was in a ponytail and the woman's eyes were deep green…certainly not the same as Dita's deep blue eye color but he could tell that Dita had some similarities to her ohma, Marian was taller then Dita and it would make sense that Dita would get her height from her ohma. The woman also wore the same types of clothes that her daughter wore…the only difference was she wore a pair of pants and short boots unlike Dita and she seemed to be wearing some sort of decorative hairpin on her hair.

Dita then turned to the other woman in the room.

“And this is my fahma Jen Liebely.”

The woman had deep brown hair in a rather simple but elegantly made ponytail and she had the same deep blue eyes of her daughter, this told Kyo just where Dita got her eye color from and the woman was tall…somewhat taller than Dita but not as tall as Marian. She wore a very clean cut and somewhat formal suit, showing that she was a high ranking member of Megele society as well…though in what capacity he had no idea at the moment…Kyo knew that Dita had not talked about her parents a great deal since he knew her and he did have some worry on how the relationship between Dita and her parents would be…thankfully it became apparent that Dita was on very cordial terms with her parents.

Kyo greeted both women and they were directed to the dinning area of Jura's home and there the tables were already being covered by food and drink and it was a good thing to see…as they all ate their dinners, Dita's ohma and fahma would ask questions towards Kyo on many things that they wanted to know about him and his relationship with their daughter Dita. They were very much amused by the story of exactly how their daughter and Kyo met and they were impressed at how much things had changed for their daughter. They also asked questions on how they had been together.

It was also there that Kyo learned that Marian

As time wore on and the night was getting longer… Kyo bid farewell to Dita's parents and decided to go and get some rest And this allowed the women to talk among themselves and think over what the future might hold for them when they did win the battle with the Harvesters and granted their people a chance to finally relax and recover.

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

The next day…

Kyo woke up to a new roof and he was at first rather confused until he realized that he was in Jura's summer home…the home was naturally lavishly decorated and there were paintings here and there as well were statues of beautiful shapes and figures. Kyo recalled just what sort of memories he had last night when Jura and the others were waiting for him at dinner, and he then met Dita's fahma and ohma. The two women were very much as open minded and kind hearted as their daughter and that told him loads on where Dita got her open minded and kind nature.

The two women were very much interested in the deep seated affection their young daughter had for Kyo and were very much impressed by what they were able to learn about Kyo and from their daughter…he couldn't help but wonder what was he going to do now that he was given leave by Grand Ma to relax and be there on Megele for a week before heading off to his duties…it was to allow him to enjoy a break for a bit before his return to combat training.

As he got out of the plush and undeniably comfortable bed he yawned and decided to do some routine stretching exercises to get the darn kinks out of his system and as soon as he was done with some of the basic stretching, he then did a few martial arts routines in the spacious room that he had been given by Jura. The security in Jura's summer home was pretty high…as expected as her fahma and ohma had high places in Megele society so he didn't have to do the usual routine of checking for any bugs in the room. And he then reached for the remote nearby and then out came the TV and he decided to see how the media was going about it's usual business of informing the public.

So far the reports were focused on the ever growing military mobilization along with other reports on various sectors of the planet and the government crackdown on dissidents who were still not fully trusting of the alliance at the moment…he decided to at least plan out a dialogue meeting with the leaders of the said dissidents to see just what is it they still had against the alliance and he hoped to smooth things out. He then looked at the other channels and to his discomfort…he found out that a vast portion of the channels had soap operas on them…most on the romantic drama/comedy stuff…he was understanding of it…he had seen a few in his younger days surfing the channels but this was the first time ALL the characters were female.

He placed the remote down and then got up from the bed and opened the door and there in the halls…he decided to head to the kitchen and see if he could cook break-fast for the day…however, he was beaten to it when he spotted a number of female servants already hard at work with the preparations of break-fast…making him realize that he was not going to get much done and decided to visit the bath-room and get a decent soak in the hot tub.

As he got into the bath-room, which was the same size as the Nirvana's communal bath he decided to get into the hot tub after making the needed adjustments and then took a quick shower after removing his clothes and then he went into the pool of water which was now showing some steam and he removed the cloth piece that held his hair together and allowed his hair to spread out as he entered the bath while wearing only a towel and as soon as he sat down and was in the water…he sighed and relaxed a bit at the warm water.

“Ahhhh…that's better…”

Kyo enjoyed the warmth and the feeling of ease for a change of pace…he had no idea just how utterly stressed out he was until now…the three day party might have been enjoyable for many involved…but it was not entirely enjoyable for him as he had to do a lot of dodging for the past three days…namely in the sense of not doing something that could have bad results for the alliance between Talark and Megele…that was the thing that marred the celebratory atmosphere for him entirely…but at least he was now given a full week to relax under the orders of Grand Ma…he had been told so by Heidi who he had left in charge of the ongoing training of the new Dread pilots for the time being, he had no idea how long he would be on vacation but he was going to enjoy it for as long as he could as minutes passed..

(I had no idea how tired I really was…I guess I really need to build up my stamina and rest for a while…and seven days is really going to be worth it.)

Kyo was so relaxed that he was not aware of the fact that he had company as he had closed his eyes for a few minutes…it was only when he heard giggling that he opened his eyes…to find none other than Dita, Jura, and Meia in the pool with him…and they were in their birthday suits at the moment…making Kyo gasp a bit as he realized that he was not alone…but unlike his last encounter with the girls in a situation like this where he bolted like greased lightning…he stayed and looked at them.

“Hey…I didn't know you were here.”

“You must have been really tired Kyo, we were only here for a few minutes.”

The women then decided to see if they could help their loved one relax and they talked it over for a few minutes on how things were going to be for the day and they decided that just for today they would stay in Jura's summer house and relax…Kyo agreed as he decided to enjoy the atmosphere for the time being and being with familiar faces was certainly a good thing on his mind as this spared him from worrying too much on the war…at least for a week before heading off to Talark.

As they finished their bath and got dressed, Kyo and the others sat down to break-fast and he told them about the rest of his life…namely both good and bad details and the women attentively listened to his stories and his memories and they asked what he had done on his travels, since while he told them some of his travels in deep space before arriving at Talark and Megele, he kept some to himself for other important reasons as he had been fighting as a form of mercenary to get by…just like Rabat in some degrees but never in the same capacity.

After break-fast, Jura and the others decided to take the time to go shopping for some goods and supplies in the city for the time being and make things a lot more comfortable for Kyo and also to make sure that the summer house was well stocked…while the servants were more than qualified to do those things…Jura preferred to do the shopping for herself for the time being as she had a plan to learn how to cook even more…this left only Meia with Kyo for the day.

It was then that Meia spoke to Kyo.

“Kyo…can I ask a favor from you?”

Kyo looked at Meia and replied.

“You don't need to ask twice Meia…what is it you need from me?”

“I need to buy some things…for my ohma and fahma…I plan to visit them.”

“But I…oh I see…all right then Meia…I'll get the car ready.”

Kyo already knew for a fact that her parents were already dead and no doubt in a cemetery and this meant that Meia had every intentions of visiting her now deceased parents…and from the sound of her voice…it would be the very first time she would visit them in a long time since their deaths and the tragedy that scarred her.

“Are you going to be all right?”

Meia saw the concern in his eyes and smiled back and replied.

“I'll be fine. I'll be there in a minute.”

Later, Kyo awaited Meia as he got his car ready for the trip to the city to buy what she needed for the visit and there came Meia in her new and simple white sundress. They two drove into the city and when they arrived at the city Kyo escorted Meia into the stores to get what she needed and while there were many women who were shocked to see him, they were able to quickly get the supplies before things got hairy…though several bands of women would sometimes block their path and ask Kyo questions…the Gundam pilot managed to diplomatically move his way past them and help Meia get her gifts from the stores that had them and as soon as she assured him that she had everything she needed…he got the car ready and logged into the Megele's civilian navigation system and was now on his way to the cemetery that held the tombs of both of Meia's parents.

The navigation system allowed him to guide the car past the traffic and pick the quickest but also the safest routes through the city and right for the cemetery that Meia's parents were in…as they arrived there…Kyo decided to let meia have time for herself in this as he would feel like he was intruding on a private matter had he come along with the aqua-haired girl…he knew about the relationship she had with both her parents and how much she had wanted to make things right with them both if given the chance…and this was it.

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

In the cemetery…

Meia, dressed in a simple white sundress and wearing her circlet, walked towards the marker that had her fahma and ohma's names on it…it had been so long since she had ever set foot in this place…so long since she had seen the funeral of her parents and then her life as a street hood started…she wanted to never come here again for a long time…but now that she had made peace with her past…she wanted to come here and make amends for not being there to visit them…the marker was still there…and she was happy that cleaner droids kept the place clean and not overgrown with grass and weeds…she had several things on hand…some flowers that she knew her fahma loved, a small box containing incense for her ohma and a small gemstone that she had been able to purchase.

Kyo was there on the other side of the field…watching over their car and he understood that this was something that Meia needed to do on her own and decided not to interfere…she was happy that her beloved had volunteered to escort her and help her with getting the gifts for her trip to her parents' grave. It had been something she had always felt she would never get the chance to do…but after all that has happened…now was the right time.

As she arrived there at the marker…she placed down the flowers and the gifts and spoke a brief prayer…and as soon as she was done…she decided to speak to her parents.

“It's been so long…I thought I would never have the courage to come back here…after all that has happened between us. But I have…and it feels right.”

“I am so sorry for all the times I have ever been a problem, on how I lost my way…how far I have fallen from being your daughter…and how much of a mess I made of my life for so long, all the time wasted on being afraid…you were all so courageous…more than me..I miss you…I miss you both…”

Meia began to cry but unlike before when she would try to fight away her tears...she let them loose this time as she thought about all the memories she had of her ohma and fahma and how much she really missed them. She wiped away her tears as she looked at the marker and smiled.

“But I've grown up now…after so long, I finally made peace with myself after all that has happened to me…ever since that day I saw you all last. I know in my heart that you both were always there for me and that you always loved me no matter how things turned out for me…I have so much to say to you both that I do not know here to begin at all…”

Meia wiped away her tears and decided to talk once more to her parents…she knew that they would not hear her as they were no longer in this world…but the feeling of finally being before them and letting loose all her emotions overpowered her as she gathered composure.

“I have made friends and family again…and I…am in love…I am in love with someone who helped me in so many ways…but it's not with a woman of Megele…but a man…yes, a man, but not any ordinary man and not a man of Talark…but a man who has done so much for all of us and the human race…I wish you were alive so you both of meet him…you would have loved him. His name is Kyo Clyne Yamato…”

She then spoke about how she and Kyo met all those months before and she could feel her heart beat faster at the memories of the past as she continued to pour out her memories to her parents and despite knowing that they were already gone…she could feel them smiling, laughing and listening to every word she said and she felt herself grow happier as she talked about all that had happened since joining the pirates and meeting Kyo Yamato.

It was then that she told them about her…first time with Kyo and how wonderful it was to be with him after admitting that she was in love with him. She blushed as she finished talking about it and then she spoke once more.

“I love him so much that it hurts to be apart from him…I know that it might seem odd I would love a man…but I do…he broke the walls I placed around my heart and made me feel more alive than I ever thought possible…I shudder at the thought of being apart from him and never meeting him…he saved my life many times and always did his best…I always felt great fear whenever he was in a dangerous situation…but I would feel utter joy to be close to him again. I tried to deny these feelings but I treasure them now. There's so much happening out there…”

“A war is coming…and I will soon be in the very heart of it, with him and my friends as well…I'm not the only one who loves him…but he loves us all and I would be proud that once this war ends…I can be able to bear his child…I don't care if it is a boy or girl…I will love the child born of my life and Kyo's own and be a good mother to my child…and if Kyo wants to…I would gladly bear many children with him. I love him…and he loves me deeply as well…and him and I are united in a way I can never truly describe…someday I will bring my future family for you to see…I will see you again and I will make your dreams and mine a reality…I promise.”

Meia felt in her heart that her ohma and fahma heard her and they were there with her and that was enough as she bowed and made another prayer and turned to meet up with Kyo.

Kyo looked at Meia and smiled a bit as he could see that Meia had finally been able to make peace with her family and he was happy for her as well. The Gundam pilot walked over to Meia and hugged her as she was still crying and with a simple smile that showed his feelings…Kyo kissed her on the head and she smiled back as they drove all the way back to Jura's summer home.

As they got back to Kyo's residence he was able to arrive at lunch time and there were the girls already having lunch and he and Meia joined them and it was then that Jura asked Kyo a question that has been with her since he had set foot on her home planet.

“Kyo…what do you think of our world here?”

Kyo thought it over and replied.

“It's a nice planet but Gasco showed me the uglier side of it as well…no offense but we can't afford to be wasting time on all these unneeded projects such as who has the better garden…I doubt the Harvesters would care about that anyway.”

The blonde nodded as she understood what Kyo was saying as she replied.

“I guess…there were plenty of jealous and just annoying women who tried to derail my ohma and fahma's respective careers more than once…and despite their love of our home…I sometimes saw them being frustrated with it all.”

“I see…well…your parents are all right Jura and I'm sure they're happy for you.”

The blonde smiled and teased Kyo.

“That's true…and I can bet they would love it if they met their soon to be conceived grand -children.”

Kyo nearly choked on the fish he was eating but recovered and looked at Jura with a surprised look as the blonde merely grinned and he was very much curious if Jura was pulling his leg, Jura however replied to the inquiry she could see in Kyo's face.

“No…I'm not pregnant yet Kyo so no need to worry just yet.”

Kyo gave a look of relief and said to Jura that he would never mind it if she did become pregnant eventually…and Jura smiled at that. The group had some time to themselves and since he was in good company...Kyo didn't mind taking it easy for once and enjoy the lunch they were having as there was a good spread there before him at the moment.

As they ate their lunch they took the time to relax as they were all alone for the time being and it was something that they treasured for all it was worth…the months of battles, and more…plus the personal and emotional changes they all had undergone ever since the journey they had taken had placed a strain on them all and a break was certainly something they welcomed greatly. And it was even more so for Kyo as he had a lot of things to do when he got back and having the time alone with the girls was certainly something he wanted to enjoy for the time being.

After lunch the group headed off to play in the backyard garden and swimming pool area in Jura's summer home and it was a beautiful place to be in for the time being as it was cool and there were plenty of trees that were naturally grown at the moment and this allowed them to further enjoy the calm atmosphere….the group then the time to go swimming yet again…though Kyo was at first unsure about the idea until the women pushed him into the pool. The water was cool and well regulated and was not too deep and Kyo sputtered as he got to the surface and turned…just in time to see the women had been removing their clothes and were now only in their comfortable bras and panties…making Kyo gulp at the sight as they all went into the water with him and Kyo quickly found himself being surrounded by the women he loved deeply and they were all taking turns to hold him close…

The day was spent nicely in the pool and the five women and the Gundam pilot enjoyed the comforts of being in vacation for the time being as the pools in the back were very large and spacious at the moment and were good for swimming in. The group spent time there to relax and then the servants would have food brought in for them to have as they each took the time to enjoy the calmer atmosphere as the day wore on….

As the group decided to let the servants head on home in the servants' quarters in Jura's summer home….Kyo decided to get out of the pool to get himself dried out….but the girls had OTHER ideas….it had been some time since they had been with Kyo and in their minds…it was high time they got to catch up on things that involved them and the man they each had a love affair with. With that plan in mind the women got ready for another wild night in the pool.

Kyo had barely got out of the pool and headed for the door when Meia grasped his hand and spoke to him.

“Where do you think you are going Kyo?”

“Uh….to dry up and…”

Meia however smiled warmly as she made Kyo turn around and before he could do anything at the moment….she went forward and kissed him. The Gundam pilot was surprised by this and he hit the reinforced door with a slight thud. And it was then that Meia and the others made their mover as they all reached Kyo in record time…

Kyo only had enough time to take a gulp of air before the real party began.

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

(Lemon Time…)

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

Kyo had no time to react as Jura kissed him on the cheek and Dita then kissed him deeply on the lips as well as Meia…making it a three way kiss between the male Gundam pilot and the redhead and aqua-haired Gundam pilots.. Jura then moved downward with her hands and ran her hands gently on Kyo's toned and well formed stomach and he moaned as Jura placed butterfly kisses on his stomach and rubbed her hands on each kissed area….adding to the sensations he was feeling at this very moment.

Sara and Mai however had other plans as they reached for several towels and there was still some food and drink there on the relaxation area of the pool, the two of them set up the place as Jura, meia, and Dita were busy getting the Gundam pilot and Grand Admiral of the Allied Fleet ready for another very interesting night with them. They had been unable to be with him for the past few days and they were eager to get him together with them again….they wanted this night to be something that Kyo would not easily forget.

And it was working as Jura reached for his sex and gently rubbed her hands on her loved one's penis and she smiled warmly as it reacted the way she liked and got hard immediately. The blonde woman then reached for the straps of her bra and gently removed the comfortable undergarment and freed her large and firm breasts out and she tugged down Kyo's shorts….revealing his sex and she smiled warmly as she continued to run her hands slowly on his sac and kissed it gently on the head with her lips…making Kyo moan out in an even louder fashion, much to her delight. Jura then got up and traded placed with Meia and kissed Kyo deeply while rubbing her breasts on his body.

Meia reached Kyo's sex and gently kissed it and then she took it into her mouth slowly and gently….moaning out loud at the feel of it in her mouth and recalled how to do this right. As soon as she was assured that she was comfortable…she began to move her head back and forth, while licking and kissing Kyo's sex gently...making him moan out in a very loud fashion and all three Gundam pilot relished that as they continued to pleasure him.

Dita and Jura then moved away and Dita also removed her bra and panties…with Jura following in the same way as Meia did likewise. The aqua haired woman then was now naked before Kyo and grabbed his hands and they took him to the area where Sara and Mai were at the moment and as soon as Kyo was there….he was turned around and Jura made him sit down on the chair and she straddled him…placing her breasts in front of his face…and Kyo didn't have to be told what to do as he reached out and touched Jura's breasts and licked them gently and then took her right nipple into his mouth…making the blonde vixen moan out in pleasure and desire as she held him close to her.

Meia then moved next to Kyo and as she kissed him….she moved his free right hand and placed it on her own breasts as Kyo kneaded them gently with his hand and she then guided it to her wet sex and Kyo could only moan as he felt Meia's wetness before him at the moment. He felt his body increase in pleasure as Meia guided him and he moved his fingers to pleasure her as best he could and he then moved to Jura's other breast and laved the same hot and passionate attention on the blonde's other breast and nipple. Jura moaned out loud at this and she felt Kyo's penis on her butt and she smiled lovingly at the feel of Kyo's sex there….she then had an idea and got up a bit and positioned Kyo's sex in line with hers and she slowly pushed it down….Kyo groaned as he felt Jura's wet sex take him into it's hot, wet, soft and tight depths….Jura relished the feel of it and then began to move her hips up and down on Kyo's sex.

“Jura……!!!!”

Kyo lay down on the chair and Dita took her turn as she presented her breasts to Kyo and he gently responded to the offer and played with her right breast with his mouth….making the redhead moan out in utter pleasure and desire…a few minutes of this and Dita then straddled Kyo's face and revealed her glistening wet sex and Kyo replied with the unspoken invitation and leaned upward and took in Dita's moisture and licked her folds….making Dita moan out even louder than before.

“Oh yes!!!”

Kyo looked up and saw Sara and Mai playing with Dita's breasts with their hands and he was even more aroused by the sight and felt his fingers enter Meia's wet and hot pussy quickly and the aqua haired Gundam pilot relished this greatly as she moaned out loud. Kyo felt like he was going to be in heaven in the next few minutes as he moved his hips up and down as Jura did likewise….the blonde was relishing this greatly as she moved up and down Kyo's cock with all her pent up desire and hunger….

Kyo licked Dita's wet sex even more as she moaned out loud at the pleasure she was being given at the moment as she felt Kyo's tongue on her womanhood and Sara and Mai playing with her breasts at the moment. The redhead had been wanting this for a long time now and she was not going to be denied and she was going to enjoy the sensations that flooded her body at this point and time and she was not going to let it be forgotten at this very moment as she moaned and felt her pleasure grow….she leaned back and Jura then leaned forward and gently nibbled Dita's ears….making Dita moan out loud.

Jura then decided to let Kyo have his chance to unload all his tension as she continued to move her hips in time with his and she relished each sensation greatly as each thrust Kyo made her feel more alive and happy than she had ever been. As she continued with her actions….she felt Kyo beginning to reach his limit and as much as she wanted to have his seed in her sex once more to relish the warmth and oneness it made her feel she wanted Kyo to last much longer than this at the moment so as to make this meeting more enjoyable….

With a few parting thrusts of her hips, she gently got off Kyo and then spoke to Meia and the others as they all nodded as they got off Kyo and Meia then decided to allow herself to lean into Kyo's chest and allowed herself to lift her hips and gently guide Kyo's sex into her own and she leaned back as she began to move her hips in pleasure and joy at the sensations that began to fill her body at the moment….she had seen this done in one of the videos Jura had on hand from the Nirvana, and her collection and while she thought that the position would be unwieldy….it proved to be a lot more challenging but also pleasurable as well. It also reminded her of the time she had been in the GunDread she and Kyo had formed all those years ago….and she relished the feel of it all.

“Kyo….you remember the position we had in the GunDread we made?”

“Yes….”

“This reminds you of it?”

“Oh yes….”

“Good….”

Meia began to move her hips and Kyo held her breasts and Meia turned her head and kissed meia hotly as the blue haired woman relished the pleasure and joy that came with being with the man she fell in love with. She relished her pleasure and the moans Kyo gave out as she continued to move her hips in time with his…Sara then got behind Kyo and rubbed her body which she had coated with edible body oil and she relished the feel of Kyo's muscled back on her chest and breasts and she reached for her wet sex. Jura however was not going to be left out as she reached Kyo as he broke the kiss with Meia and the blonde kissed Kyo deeply and Mai and Dita were not going to be left out.

Mai licked Kyo's sac, gently playing with his testicles with her lips and tongue while Dita licked his cock gently from base to shaft as Kyo continued to gently move in and out of Meia's wet sex in time with her own movements with her hips. The result was so much pleasure for Kyo that he felt like he was going to drown deeply in the ocean of sensations each woman was giving him at this very moment.

“Oh yes!!! More!!! Harder!!!!”

Meia moaned out even louder as Kyo continued to move his penis in and out of her wet sex as she felt each thrust hit her sweet spot every time and it was delicious as the sensations continued to build up for her and as she could sense with his growing heart beat….for Kyo as well….she had wanted this for a long time ever since the end of the three day event that they had been with Kyo for some time…the reason they didn't jump him in the hotel was that there was no way she, Jura, Dita, Sara, or Mai were going to let any other woman see this…they wanted the women to find out for themselves just how much pleasure and joy there was to be found by being with a man….especially a man they would care for. They knew that it was asking a lot from the women of their world….but to them it would be worth every second. Kyo had opened the doorway for men and women to make connections to one another, and they wanted the women of Megele to learn for themselves….just what they were missing out on. There was MORE fun and joy being with men than fighting them.

It didn't take very long for Meia to finally reach her limit as she held the edges of the chair tightly as she reached her limit and so did Kyo at the very same time….meia screamed out loud as she felt her inner walls caress Kyo's cock one final time before she felt him unleash his seed deep into her sex and the feeling of her loved one's seed in her body….spreading it's warmth and filling her sex to the brim was exhilarating at this very moment and she wanted not to lose that feeling for as long as possible as she thrust her hips up and down and felt several more hot streams enter her vagina from Kyo's deep thrusts into her wet and eager pussy.

Meia moaned out loud and moved away and lay down to sit on the grass and it was then that Dita took her turn and kissed Kyo deeply and she held his hand and guided him off the chair for the moment and she reached a nearby bench and bend down….showing her own wet and eager sex before Kyo….it was enough for Kyo to fully recover his full strength and get ready for another round with Dita.

Kyo moved forward and held Dita's hips as she moaned out as he pushed his cock deep into wet and willing sex…the redhead moaned out her pleasure in gasps and saying Kyo's name as she continued to make love to Dita and she relished the pleasure and joy that she felt as Kyo continued to thrust his cock into her wet and hot pussy. Kyo then leaned forward and reached with his right hand to play with Dita's breasts and he nibbled on her ear gently…making her even more aroused as the other women observed the whole thing and they were keeping themselves busy at the moment in their own way. Jura was busy playing with Meia's wet sex with her fingers and her lips were on Meia's breasts as well…while Sara and Mai watched the scene while touching each other's wet sex.

The sight was enough to push Kyo on he increased his thrusts in speed and power and Dita just urged him further on as the pleasure for her began to rise and she relished it all and she moaned out her pleasure to Kyo….who then leaned forward and hugged Dita and kissed her deeply when she turned to face him at that moment and the two kissed one another ravenously and after a few minutes….they parted at the very moment that Kyo's thrusts into Dita's wet sex had finally hit the right spot and at the right time to send the redhead into her release as she moaned out in utter bliss and joy.

“KYO!!!!!!!!!”

“DITA!!!!!!!!”

Kyo also felt his own release as he felt his cock being milked by Dita's inner sex and the feel of the redhead's inner walls caress his cock and it felt like being in a tight, wet, soft and hot vice that sent massive waves of pleasure into his body…making him moan out as he thrust just a few more times for good measure and the Gundam pilot then moved out of Dita's wet sex and he moved back to see Dita moan out in pleasure and look at him with love filled eyes as his seed was in her wet sex and she slowly stood up and then she walked over towards him and then kissed him deeply as he kissed her right back and the two kissed each other heatedly as Kyo's cock fully recovered and was now ready for another round as it poked Dita's stomach and that made the redhead moan out as she and Kyo separated. Kyo then moved towards Sara…

The young copper haired woman smiled welcomingly to Kyo as she moved forward and without any reservations and hesitations, Sara kneeled down and licked Kyo's cock gently and after a few licks….she took in his cock, unmindful of the wetness there and relished the feel of Kyo's sex in her mouth at the moment. Sara licked and sucked on Kyo's sex and made Kyo moan out loud as she then got up and brought him into the shallower section of the swimming pool and they she leaned on the wall and allowed Kyo to move between her legs…

Kyo used his strength to lift Sara's right leg and this allowed him to finally angle into her wet sex and she moaned out in pleasure and joy as the two of them were finally united in the way they both wanted at this time and moment. Sara moaned out loud and she began to move her body on Kyo's own form and the Gundam pilot responded in kind as he began to thrust into her wet and hot sex with gusto and abandon. Both of them moaned out in utter pleasure and joy as Sara held on for dear life as Kyo continued to thrust into her wet pussy. The two were then joined by Mai who made Kyo turn to kiss her as she rubbed her breasts on his back. The two lovers continued with their actions as the others were busy watching the whole thing at the moment. Dita, Jura, and Meia watched as they pleasured each other willingly and they made sure to get ready when Kyo directed his attention on them as well.

It did not take long for Kyo to finally unleash his seed into Sara's wet sex and the two moaned out loud at the pleasure that flooded their bodies at that exact moment and time. Sara relished the feel of her lover's seed in her body as she had not been able to feel that in quite a while now and she relished it for all it was worth as she kissed Kyo deeply in the lips as he gently released her from their current position and he was quickly kissed by Mai as the two women licked and kissed him in regular intervals. The three of them left the pool and it was then that on a nearby chair with Meia and Dita on either side was Jura and the blonde was begging for her turn….she was deeply wet and her moans got Kyo's attention quickly and with nods from Sara and Mai….the Gundam pilot made his way and then was between Jura's parted legs. He kneeled down and began to lick her folds…making the blonde moan and scream out her pleasure and desire for more of the intimate contact.

“KYO!!!! GODDESSS!!!!!!”

Kyo continued his actions on Jura's sex as Meia and Dita held her carefully and touched her breasts gently to further stimulate Jura and the blonde Gundam pilot was enjoying the sensations greatly at this moment as she looked at Kyo who licked her juices greatly and added to her growing pleasure and desire at this very moment. It didn't take very long for the blonde Gundam pilot to finally be satisfied as Kyo moved and then pushed his fully erect penis into her wet pussy with a quick and hard thrust….and she moaned at being filled with her lover's sex once more and Kyo stopped to enjoy the sensations once more and as soon as he felt that he was ready for this, and as soon as he felt ready….he began to move his cock in and out of Jura's hot sex and the blonde Gundam pilot relished the sensations greatly as she moaned out her pleasure and so did Kyo as he thrust hard and fast into Jura's vagina with great abandon.

“Harder!!! More!!! KYO!!!!!!!!”

Jura reached out and Kyo leaned over her as he traded deep kissed with her, then Meia and then Dita, and finally Sara and Mai who were right behind him at the moment….the women relished the sight of their lover making love to Jura and they were ever eager to have their turn with the man the each loved more than anything in this world. Jura was loving this as Kyo then licked and suckled on her large breasts further adding to her ever growing desire and joy and his thrusts became faster, deeper, and stronger as he moved his hips.

It didn't take very long for Kyo to finally roar out his release and so did Jura at that moment as she arched her back and she felt Kyo's cock fire his seed into her sex and the feel of the hot, thick and potent seed in her womb was enough to make Jura fall even further into her release of her orgasm at the moment. The same was for Kyo as he felt Jura's sex milk him for all he was worth at the moment of release. He relished her womanhood's caresses on his sex and as he felt her body beginning to relax.

As he pulled back….Jura moaned and the blonde stood up as Kyo fell on the ground the women finally crowded him and with all of them naked….Kyo found himself being surrounded by the five women in the nude, their bodies covered in sweat and Mai finally made her move as she straddled Kyo and gently lowered her wet and eager pussy on his cock and Kyo could only groan out loud as Mai's hot, tight, and wet sex engulfed his own in a very quick and hot pace. As soon as he was assured that Mai had taken in his hot length, the brunette began to move her body up and down while Sara was there to caress her breasts from behind. While Meia and Dita would guide Kyo's hands to their pussies and he got to touch their sexes, while Jura would straddle his head and allow Kyo to lick her still wet and eager sex. The sight was so utterly erotic that Kyo felt like he had died and gone straight to paradise at this moment.

The women each moaned out their pleasure and bliss and they were thankful for the fact that the private swimming pool area was secured and there was no chance of anyone suddenly coming in and getting the drop on them all while they were currently enjoying themselves with the man they loved deeply at this moment. Mai was wet and eager to feel Kyo's sex in her own as she had been waiting for the right time to finally make her move on her loved one and this was the best time to do it.

As Mai moved her body up and down on Kyo's sex, she moaned out loudly and leaned back as Sara played with her breasts and she reached out and touched Kyo's chest as Kyo moaned out a bit, the sounds making Jura moan out loud in pleasure as well as she was still there, allowing Kyo to taste her juices once more and he relished that greatly. It didn't take very long for Mai to finally reach her limit and she shouted out her pleasure and joy as she felt her body orgasm and she then felt Kyo's seed fill her sex once more and moaned out loud at the feel of her lover's seed inside her sex. Kyo likewise came and felt Mai's pussy milk him for all he was worth and he was able to have enough energy to make Jura, Dita, and Meia reach their own orgasms as well with his tongue and hands.

The women were happy and content, and Kyo himself was utterly exhausted for the time being. However, there was food and drink in the area so he was able to replenish his strength and energy and they rested, with all of them naked at the moment and the five women were happy to be with him as they ate their dinner at the moment and they were able to finally relax. But not for long as the amorous blonde leaned to Kyo and kissed him deeply once more as night fell on them…the blonde then moved down and placed Kyo's cock between her breasts and used her hands to make them into a soft vice around Kyo's cock and the blonde began to move her body and her breasts up and down on Kyo's cock and made the Gundam pilot moan out loud in pleasure at her actions at the moment. The blonde relished this feeling and the others were not far behind as Meia and Dita kissed him deeply and Sara and Mai took his hands and placed them on their breasts.

The scene was erotic to the core and Jura finally moved away from Kyo's cock and then the women moved away as well and they all took turns arousing Kyo with their bodies and Kyo was almost overwhelmed by all the pleasure that was flowing all over the place at this very moment. Meia took the first run as she took in Kyo's cock in her mouth and licked it from base to tip and even played with Kyo's sac gently in her mouth as Sara presented her breasts to Kyo as he licked and suckled on them gently to her pleasure and joy at the moment, Dita also joined in with Meia as well as Jura as the three women played with Kyo's sex in turns and Kyo could only look to see the three worship his cock with their mouths, tongues, hands and breasts in various ways while Sara and Mai used their breasts and their mouths to stimulate him as well at this moment. The results were very much arousing and Kyo felt like he was going to die.

However, their actions were cut short when they noted that it was already going to be time for an evening dinner, their food might have been filling, but the food they had would not be enough for the night and therefore….they all….very reluctantly got dressed but not before the women kissed Kyo and headed off to change into their normal clothes once more….allowing Kyo to get dressed.

As he did get himself dressed for the day….the Gundam pilot could only shake his head and look out at the sky above him at the moment and as he thought about how this day had started….he could feel his sex react once more after that session. He looked at himself and sighed once more and spoke to himself.

“My god….if my family were here….I don't know how'd they react to this kind of situation….”

With that out of the way for the time being, the Gundam pilot and Grand Admiral of the Allied Fleet finished getting dressed and entered the house and made his way to the kitchen and seeing that the servants were still getting out their food ingredients, the Gundam pilot decided to help out with the making of dinner at the moment and he was in the mood for a very good dinner at the moment. The servants could only watch as the grand Admiral began to cook….some of them were amazed while another went to locate Jura and tell her that Kyo was cooking food.

As the others arrived they couldn't help but watch as Kyo was busy cooking meat, vegetables, and more on the pots, pans, and woks that the servants had brought out while the other women watched the Gundam pilot cook as if he was born in the kitchen from the way he handled the food, sauces, condiments and more. It didn't take very long for the Gundam pilot and Grand Admiral to finally finish the food he had cooked and the other women sampled the food as they were allowed by Jura….and to their amazement and surprise…the food not only looked and smelled delicious, but was delicious as well.

The group had their dinner and so did the servants as Kyo had made enough food for just about everyone in the whole household at the moment and the Gundam pilot didn't disappoint as his dishes were still as delicious as ever at the moment. The food included beef stew with potatoes, celery, carrots, and herbs, deep fried chicken, steamed crabs, roasted fish, hot bread, fried rice, potato salad and vegetable salad as well. Jura had brought out the cool red wine and the group enjoyed the night as they ate and drank the food….this was also the chance they wanted as they later spent the time chatting and relaxing….for the five women who loved Kyo, this was the perfect way for them to experience what it would be like if they decide to marry Kyo someday….which they hope will be soon. As soon as the dinner and party was over….Kyo went to his room and decided to rest for the night….he went to the bed and was about to fix it up when he heard footsteps and when he turned…

“Hi there Kyo….”

Kyo barely had time to react when Meia also kissed him deeply and before he could do anything….the women crowded him and quickly made short work of his clothes….leaving him literally buck naked once more and as soon as he was bare of his clothes, the women also began to push him towards the bed there and as soon as he fell on the bed….Jura stepped forward and in a seductive and aroused tone of voice….she spoke to Kyo.

“What makes you think that this party is really over Kyo?”

Kyo looked at Jura with an incredulous look.

“You can't be serious?! We all just….”

“We've been itching to do that with you ever since this whole affair

Kyo looked on as the women smiled at him as Meia pushed him to the bed and the women slowly moved on the bed and they were all smiling at him with loving and lustful smiles as they finally surrounded him and before he could say anything else at the moment…the five women then took turns kissing him as the Gundam pilot could only gulp as Jura, Meia, Dita, Sara, and Mai decided to continue the festivities they had started back at the pool in a more private setting.

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

The next day…

Kyo groaned a bit as he got out of bed…last night's little romp in the pool had rained him very much and now he was very much feeling the effects as he felt some aches in his body….but those were the good and enjoyable kinds of aches. He looked to see Jura, Meia, Dita, Sara and Mai resting on the large bed they had brought for him in the room and he smiled at them reverently. He then kissed them on the lips gently and they each moaned as he got out of the bed and got dressed in his t-shirt and shorts….as he got dressed further in a pair of pants and shoes, he reached for the data cubes that Rabat had handed to him before his death and he had a feeling that whatever Rabat found out would have a deadly effect on the soon to come battle.

He reached for a nearby computer in the house after a quick search and some directions from the returning servants. He then slid in the data cubes and accessed the information and what he saw was something he knew as going to weigh heavily on his decisions when the time to head back to spend his time with the Megele Military forces and plan out the strategy that Megele would have to follow.

The first data cube highlighted the experiments the Harvesters were undertaking to create the serum needed to help them be able to improve the strength and genetic viability of the organ stocks they had and ensure that their race would survive once they could grow their own supplies. The reports of organ riots in Earth and the losses of their sources of supplies had placed on the people of Earth. The Re-Genesis Program had now used his DNA as the key to helping the Harvesters counter their genetic damage and as he studied the information, they could very well finally be able to rebuilt their race.

Kyo however knew that with the Earth the way it was….the process would take too long and there was a chance that by the time the serum would unleash it's effects on the people of Earth….many of them would be destroyed. It weighed on his conscience that if they succeed in defeating the Harvesters they would doom them to death. But he kept in mind that his conscience was the thing that separated him from the Harvesters…he had it, the Harvesters threw that away along with their morals and humanity the day they started this grand madness of theirs. It made him rather uneasy knowing that he had unwittingly contributed to the serum with his blood.

It took him a minute or two to recall the mission he had undertaken on that desert planet with the Lancer Platform and how it turned out after they got the Gundams and rescued Aleck and Max….the medical droid that had somehow wounded him must have stored the blood it got from him and was later salvaged and brought back to the Harvester home world and was used as an ingredient in the serum the Harvesters had been working on for their cure.

<I get it now…no wonder they have this invasion force….all they need is the organs of the Talark's male population and Megele's female population…with the serum in their hands once it's perfected….this could be bad news.>

And for good reason, if the data was right, and the Harvesters would finally be strong enough to live without organ transplants….they could very well begin eradicating the rest of the colonies in their belief that they were the true human inheritors of the universe….their madness would be the end of the human race as they knew it. It was not something he was keen on occurring as there were too many things that had to be taken into account The Gundam pilot knew that this would mean that even if the fleet was dealt with….it would be years before the peace could be restored.

Even if the Harvester Invasion Armada was defeated by the Resistance and the Allied Fleet, they would have years to rebuild and there was still the threat of the Harvester forces till roaming the universe…and he had to help plan and prepare to lead the forces of the Resistance and the Allied Fleet with the rest of the people assigned to be under his command.

The second data cube contained the blue-prints and design specifications of the new battle-ship that was used by the Harvesters to eradicate Melanos and reduce the once beautiful world into nothing but a burning pile of irradiated ash and dust. The diagrams showed him that the machine was using layers of Phase Shift Armor that was modified with higher power settings in order to increase it's resilience to beam based weapons and the Phase Shift was also giving it excellent protection from solid and explosive rounds. This meant that the ship that housed the doomsday weapon used by the Harvesters had to be attacked from the inside….the schematics pointed out a special hanger section that had a closer run into the reactor banks that powered the whole ship and provided power to the GENESIS weapon-system….he recalled the images of Melanos being destroyed and knew that no matter how many ships would be placed before the Harvesters….if that ship armed it's weapons….there would be nothing stopping it from destroying the two planets. The only way was a strike into the very heart of the monster and shutting it down.

However….he had to make some calculations as a ship that large would need a seriously effective escort fleet to defend it and would no doubt have a myriad of defensive systems to protect it from close attack. Who knew how many Cube Fighters, Overlords, and other Gundam units would be there to protect it. This was a seriously risky move but he had to make some plans ahead of time. There was one thing he had learned after all the years he had been in the Guardians and in the months to a year and a half since joining the pirates…there was always a chance for victory….his father faced deadly odds as well has his mother, aunt, and uncle….and so did he when he was still back on earth all those years ago.

The ship itself would no doubt send it's main forces ahead to attack the Allied Fleet to soften them up and if possible defeat them and when that happened….they would come in unopposed and destroy the worlds and harvest everyone and the fact remained that if they fell here….then the Resistance would be on it's own and things would be lost. There was a chance that the Harvesters would just fire the weapon on the GENESIS battleship….but he doubted that….they would not destroy all of the people as they needed the organs and when they were done….then they would finish the job.

Kyo looked over the information and calmly looked at the screen of the computer and began to run ideas and simulations in his mind to counter the threat before him. This was not something he wanted to work on as he needed to take a break but he knew his duties….and in a few more days….he would be back to the daily work load that he had to expect, being the only male officer in the Megele military and he had no doubt in his mind that his trials were far from over.

He was interrupted from his work when he saw Dita and the others walking towards him in their sleeping robes and he decided to think about these things later on. He knew that he would have to make some hard choices….but it was for the best. But he had NO intention of dying at all….he had a future with them and he was going to be with them to the very end….

He might make a very risky plan….but dying was not part of the equation and it never will be when he has thought it all through.

As he met them, he decided to cook their breakfast like he normally did at times, he wanted to thank them for being with him ever since the journey began and some food would be the ticket….though he knew for a solid fact that there were other ways to thank them, and he hoped that sooner or later, peace would come and allow him a chance to make a new life for himself and the others here with him.

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

Days later…

Grandma and the rest of the Megele leaders looked at the data that Kyo had presented to them and to say that they were not liking the news would have been a vast understatement. Among them was Magno and Rebecca and they too were shocked by the images that were playing before them at the moment. The Gundam pilot had called forward this meeting after he had returned and resumed his duties as Grand Admiral of the Allied Fleet. They all had been concerned by this as this was a serious meeting as Kyo was all business when they sat down and he began to show them the images.

As he showed them the simulations, everyone in the room were shocked and were silent as Kyo explained just what they were looking at this very moment as the simulations were being played on a holographic interface and the outcomes as well.

“As you can see….I've been running key simulations concerning the Harvester Invasion Armada's main flagship and the weapon system it has onboard and how much of a threat it can be….and I have be honest….it is a serious threat as it's weapon systems can be able to destroy entire battle groups and anything else in it's path. The calculations I've made…plus the simulations show that if the Harvester Armada's GENESIS ship is able to get itself into a good firing position….then it will be able to obliterate main battle groups with ease….or strike at either Talark or Megele itself. Megele would no doubt be a viable target for a first strike as it is located in the area close to the former asteroid belt.”

The people were silent….to think that their world could be well within the firing range of that nightmarish weapon made them shudder with fear. The supreme leader of Megele was the most hard hit of the news as she looked at the sight of a virtual simulation of her home world being placed right in the firing path of the Harvester's doomsday weapon….she then turned to the young man who she had charged to safe guard her people.

“So what can we do?”

“There are plenty of possible counters….but what I am concerned with is the possible need….to evacuate Megele as soon as possible to prevent the massive loss of life on this planet….the estimated fatality rate for a weapon like the GENESIS striking Megele is 100% fatal….it's not just the massive loss of all living organisms, it's the fact that the weapon could irradiate the planet so severely that Megele might be rendered uninhabitable for an unknown period of time.”

The hardliners were quick to react as one of them….and the ringleader of the bunch stood up. She was dressed in officer's robes and had been one of the high ranking members of the Megele Navy and was one of the most vocal against having Kyo join into their ranks in the Megele navy though she had not taken it to the point of openly rebelling against Grand Ma…but apparently she had reached the end of her ropes.

“This is some sort of joke?! You want us to believe that we have to abandon our home planet without a fight….to turn our backs on the world we lived in for nearly three generations?! You're crazy….as is expected of a man!!!”

Kyo glared and looked at the leader of the hardliners and spoke evenly.

“This is not some joke or a play….this is the hard facts before you and there's not much that can be done….if worse comes to worse, then be ready to plan out the evacuation of Megele's population. There is no denying the facts that the risk is too high should the GENESIS weapon make it's way to the perfect firing range and distance to attack Megele….planetary evacuation is the best chance we have at this point and time should worse comes to worse.”

“You're insane! You can't expect us to just order our people to abandon their home-planet!!! It's like leaving behind their own families and their own identities!!!”

“I'm not insane….and I didn't say that it would be done now. I said it already that we all need to plan the possibility of the need for a mass planetary evacuation when the time comes.”

“We will not leave Megele!!! We will fight than leave our world!!!”

“You saw what the Harvester mother ship did to Melanos….it reduced the planet into nothing but a burning irradiated ash pile and no amount of ships, or Dreads can stop a beam like that….I've run the simulations three hundred times for the past three days since I considered the possibility…and the situation is still the same….if the GENESIS weapon is locked on either Talark or Megele…then either planet is doomed.”

“Maybe you're calculations and simulations are wrong Admiral….”

The mocking tone of the woman was not lost to the others in the room and Kyo's temper was getting rather annoyed with the obstinate woman before him who was too blinded by the Megele propaganda to see that these were the cold facts that were before her. He was about to speak when Commander Heidi spoke.

“I am afraid that Admiral Yamato's simulations and calculations are accurate and precise….I had several analysts' study the scenarios for the past few days to see if there were any errors….and there are none in the simulations. The facts are clear that if there is no established solution to prepare for this event….then Megele is great danger. Our ships and Dreads cannot shield the planet from that weapon no matter how many we send….the casualties from the GENESIS beam will be in the billions.”

Magno then turned to Kyo and spoke.

“What about the Super GunDread? Can the shield block the shot from the GENESIS?”

Kyo shook his head and replied.

“It can do that Maggie….the problem with the idea is that the energy required to block that shot is very high and it could damage the power plant for the Super GunDread. We might block an attack from the GENESIS but the Harvesters would then launch a heavy concerted assault on the Super GunDread….limiting our mobility and even the shield can't handle a heavy salvo like that, it will be even worse of the GENESIS fires another direct hit….even the armor on the Super GunDread might not block a shot that powerful.”

“”So what are our options Admiral Yamato?'

Grandma asked Kyo as he ran through the data once more and spoke to the assembled forces.

“We do have options….we can use special ordnance such as mines and heavy EMP and Ion particle based weapons to slow down the advance. I have to know just what sort of heavy and special ordnance we have that can be used….Grandma….Commander Heidi told me that Megele has a stockpile of operational nuclear weapons…am I correct?”

The elderly woman nodded and replied.

“We do….though the codes required for the use of those weapons is hidden by me and the First generation here on Megele…why?”

“We need to unleash those nuclear missiles to not only buy us time but the heavy radiation and EMP discharge will be able to cause enough damage to the Harvester forces….the nuclear missiles will be able to shatter and destroy as many of the Harvesters as we can…this will thin their numbers and make it easier to attack them….However….nuclear missiles will not be the only weapons we need….I want to have the Megele industrial arm to begin the making nuclear mines.”

“Nuclear mines?”

Kyo nodded.

“These mines will be equipped with a Mirage Colloid generator that will cloak their presence from the Harvester scanners and will be armed to exploded as soon as a large number of Harvesters have entered the kill range of the mines….the succession of explosions will cause disarray on the Harvesters for as long as possible and allow use to unleash the nuclear missiles which will be supported by the MAC Cannons of the Talark Navy….this will ensure that we can take out as many of the Harvesters as we can and if the mother ship is in the area….then we can at the very least slow it down. Afterwards….the development of EMP canons using random power frequencies should utilized for the second barrage along with the use of all Ion Cannon weapons and another salvo of nuclear missiles to even up the damage that can be unleashed by the Allied Fleet.”

Rebecca then spoke.

“I normally would say that would be overkill but in this case…we can accept that….but that ship we're going to fight is huge….even if we attack it there's no guarantee that even with all our combined fire-power that we can kill it. That ship no doubt has a massive number of ships guarding it…who knows how many of Gundam units, Cube Fighters, overlords and more….plus the schematics did show that it's using Phase Shift Armor, and form what I understand….that armor is modified to take anything thrown at it. We'd probably end up wasting all our weapons for nothing if we can't break through the armor.”

“I have to agree with Rebecca….if this plan fails…we could have wasted those weapons for nothing.”

Kyo nodded and replied.

“I am aware of that….however, Rabat's data cube which had the GENESIS blue-prints did state that there is a flaw that we can use.”

“The GENESIS does have Phase Shift and the armor system is no doubt being fed vast quantities of power to make it much more resilient to beam based attacks and the armor is in layers. However….the analysis that has been run on the blue-prints shows that the GENESIS can be attacked by a small surgical strike team that will target the power reactor blocks that power the GENESIS. Taking out the power plants will destroy the GENESIS ship from the inside out.”

The women were utterly silent and even the hardliners were utterly quiet….any plans to try and prove Kyo wrong were gone in the wind as he explained the utterly insane plan that he had in mind….a small team against THAT?

Magno then spoke.

“Kyo….do you realize that you're suggesting? It's suicidal to the extreme….”

“I know…but the situation requires we approach this in an unconventional fashion…we cannot use normal fleet tactics on this ship because of the vast number of Harvester battle-ships and their fleets that are protecting it….and the fact that it too has it's own fleet is even more of a concern. We can't try to outmatch it in numbers as they have more than we do…and as you all know…we cannot match this ship in raw fire-power….one beam from this monster of a ship can wipe out a large chunk of the ships we have….not even the Nirvana can withstand a hit from that cannon, let alone a glancing shot….it would kill Bart and kill us as well.”

Kyo looked at the now silent council before him and he spoke seriously to them all.

“The way this can end is in two ways….either we are wiped out by the fleets of Harvesters and the GENESIS can just take it's time and then reduce both planets into nothing but burning irradiated wasteland after they take all the organs they want…or we can stand up to it and allow the Invasion Fleet to blow us apart while the GENESIS will just take potshots at our forces and destroy us piece meal. Either way…we lose if we don't prepare for the worst, there's a saying for this plan….pray for the best but be prepared for the worst.”

He then spoke to the women.

“I KNOW that what I suggested is insane, and it is painful for you all….but we have to be prepared for the possibility that we have to prepare for evacuation should it come to this. The choice is hard and it will be the hardest of your lives….but as it stands…this is the choice before you should it come to that…you evacuate your people and save as many as you can…or not do it and risk the extinction of your entire society. And don't think that the men will be scot-free as well….because the same fate awaits them as well if The GENESIS is able to arrive and attack.”

Kyo then gave a hard look to the hardliners and their leader finally backed down and looked at him and he spoke seriously.

“I said it before….and I'll say it again….this is not the time to be thinking about pride, competition, superiority of sex, race, or culture….this is about the survival of your people and your new generations to come. If you decide to delay the plans needed to prepare for the worst….then they will be the ones who suffer and worse. It's either the survival of your people…or your pride. I have had enough of these divisions…of those of you who still cling to the propaganda of your world….the time has come to make the right choice….not out of pride, greed, selfishness….but of survival. Either you can work together to ensure the survival of your people with the Alliance or you can only cause more problems for it and then it will be too late. This is a difficult choice…but that is war….you HAVE to make choices…no matter how distasteful it might be. I know I have…”

The women looked at the Gundam pilot and he replied.

“I came up with this plan…and I weighed the options…and I will be the one to lead the strike team.”

“WHAT?!”

Magno was stunned by this and she looked with horror in her eyes at her uncle…he had taken the mantle of this suicidal mission and she couldn't help but feel like she had just seen him commit suicide before her eyes. She stood up and spoke.

“Kyo….you can't do this….too much is riding on you to lead the Allied Fleet…we cannot lose you….not after all we've been through…the Alliance needs you alive….you can't mean to throw your life away like this…”

Kyo knew that to be all true….but he was sure of this plan…besides….he had a feeling that he will pull through….he had died once and he had finally made peace with his past and now he was ready for the soon to come challenge. This was the risk and he was ready to take it, after all, he was not planning on dying so easily until he defeated the Harvesters and their genocidal plans to wipe out all life on this universe.

“I won't throw my life away Magno…I will succeed in this mission…of that you can have no doubts. But that will still be months from now….here and now…we have to plan and prepare. Grandma, these are hard choices….but we have to be ready.”

The elderly woman nodded and gave a loud sigh and then faced her leaders in both civilian and military.

“Begin making plans for the possible evacuation of all people in Megele…”

The women did not protest and they quickly talked with one another to plan things out as Grandma then reached for a data pad and then pressed her finger on it and then handed the glowing pad to Kyo and spoke.

“Admiral….I am giving you full authority to begin all the needed measures and plans that you deem needed for the possibility that we must leave Megele in order to ensure the survival of my people. The nuclear arsenal and materials of Megele are all yours to use…though I pray that the worst does not happen in either case.”

“So do I Grandma…we must make sure NO ONE outside of this hall hears of these plans….the panic that could result from this leaking to the media can be enormous. And the military can't fight both the Harvesters and the ensuring panic. Once we've got the ground work covered….then we can discuss how we can inform the population of the plans we have made, the plans won't be easy to hide…but it has to be done, I do have other plans as well.”

“What else do you plan for the mines?”

“I need the nuclear materials ready and shipped to Talark's weapon factories, it's there that I will oversee the mines' construction and that of the nuclear missiles. There is a reason for this of course.”

Grandma and the other listened and for once the hardliners….thoroughly dealt with by the Grand Admiral were ready to listen.

“I had been on Talark months before I boarded the Ikazuchi and when it was attacked by the pirates…and in my time there I have noted that the factories on Talark have one advantage over the factories here on Megele….and that is that they are highly efficient when it comes to mass production of equipment and weapons. I did a complete analysis of the two methods of production on both Talark and Megele and while the factories here in Megele are top notch when producing Dreads, ships, and more….they consume too many resources and supplies….and there is a high level of wasted material that is left over….while on Talark, the men are able to use all the resources they have with amazing efficiency and precision. This allows them to out produce Megele factories and while their equipment might not be as high tech as the equipment made here on Megele, they are able to make reliable and high quality work.”

“Due to their ability to mass produce equipment with little waste and leftover resources, we can divide the workloads for the re-arming of the Fleets and making replacement parts, munitions and more for the Fleets. Here is a simulation that has a Megele Factory here on your world and a Talark Factory….now the simulation places in the construction of a single Dread…let's have the Talark factory produce the missiles, fuel, coolant, power packs and emergency repair parts, and we'll have the Megele factory produce the Dread itself and we will determine how much resources are used up in the construction.”

As the people viewed the simulation….the Talark factory was able to mass produce the ammunition, fuel, coolant and spare parts in a time frame of three days….while the Megele factory took at least four to five days longer. The numbers were rather serious and Kyo then ramped it up once more.

“Now let us have the factories on both worlds create a squadron of Dreads under the same parameters.”

The women and the Gundam pilot watched as the simulations were run and the Talark factories were able to make their filled quotas with extra munitions, fuel, coolant, missiles, and parts in a week earlier than the Megele factories that took another week to manufacture the Dreads In all the Dreads were now able to have surplus munitions, fuel, coolant, and parts ready to equip nearly two Dread Squadrons instead of one. The women were impressed as the simulations end and Kyo spoke to them all.

“As you can see….we are seeing a near 300% increase in production in the Talark factories than that of the Megele factories….and the reasons for this is that Talark mindset….the men live in a world with limited water, food, resources, and more….and in my time there….they had perfected art of desert survival….they know that wasting water, materials, equipment, and resources will be the key to survival and that is why when I was there….anyone caught taking more and wasting resources on their world is quickly sent to prison or sent to labor camps. The men know that they have to make everything count and that is why they are very knowledgeable in being able to mass produce whatever supplies and equipment they need….their weapons are not high tech and advanced….but the men know how to make due and use whatever they have on hand and use it well. If you want further proof….then you can send delegates to Talark under MY personal protection to inspect the finished products and have them tested in battle field conditions.”

Kyo then concluded his report and faced Grandma and the others and finished it off.

“These measures are within the written guidelines of the alliance between Talark and Megele and as such….this can be done as soon as possible….the net effect of trading technology, resources, and more is that we can rebuild our losses and cut the time needed to field our forces….and in return….this will buy us the time needed to improve the training of all the recruits we have to train both on the side of the men and that of the women.”

Grandma looked at the data and she smiled at Kyo.

“You have really thought this all through Admiral Yamato….the reports are impressive and you have great attention to detail….very well. As by order of the Alliance….you have full authority to begin these plans.”

Kyo nodded and turned to speak to Heidi and make the needed changes and the plans while the other officers were also getting ready for what would be a hard but important step in ensuring that they will be able to counter the soon to come force of the Harvesters. The Gundam pilot and Grand Admiral knew that the industrial sector leaders of Megele were going to be breathing down his neck the minute they learn of the situation but he knew that they would have no other choice in the matter at this point and time….they needed a fully functional and combat ready fleet for the soon to come conflict with the Harvesters and with Grandma's approval of the plans he had in mind, they would have to comply. However, he understood that this was something that was unexpected and he did make the concession of having quality inspectors from billeted on Talark in order to ensure that the munitions, parts, fuel, and more were up to Megele standard. He also had to make sure that proper trading of supplies, resources, information, and technology was being done in order to make sure that the Alliance would not be hampered in any fashion that could spell disaster for the entire war effort that they would have to take part in soon enough.

As he went off to begin organizing the plans and contingencies that he knew could spell victory and survival for the Allied Fleet and the people of Talark and Megele, he knew that sooner or later, things would get even worse for him as the people of Megele would soon get word of what he intended to do in order to improve the survival of the planets they lived on, he knew for a fact that his plans of possible planetary evacuation would not sit well with the women, but with the facts before him….it was an option that he knew they had to take when it came to do so….though he hoped it would not come to that just yet.

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

Later…

Kyo looked at the outside of the Megele Government building with Commander Heidi standing next to him and she was very silent and so was Kyo…..he had reason to be utterly silent….he had much to think about and plan over and time was soon coming that he would be moving out of Megele and then reside in Talark….that was one part of his job that he did not look forward to….he had gotten used to being in the climate controlled conditions on ships and the cooler atmosphere of Megele…and the idea of staying a month in the desert planet was not too pleasant.

“I am not going to like being back there…”

“Where Admiral Yamato?”

“Back To Talark, I've gotten so used to being in cooler climates that going to the arid and strong heat of the desert will be like walking into a cooking fire willingly.”

Heidi nodded a bit at the agreement….she had recalled her past lessons in the Academy concerning the barren and very hostile world of the men. She had always asked how could those men even endure being in such a harsh and hostile planet….many women in her younger days scoffed at the men but she had seen them in action had to admit that her world's perceptions about the men were wrong in many ways.

Before she could ask him about that part of his life….she turned and saw the elderly former pirate captain being accompanied by the three female Gundam pilots and the two others who were part of Kyo Yamato's Crusader Squadron. Kyo saw them too and the sad, shocked, and sorrowful looks told him volumes of what was going through their heads at the moment. He knew that sooner or later, the announcement of him leading the strike team would come back to haunt him….and now it did.

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

On the Nirvana…

Misty was busy reading a new report and next to her was none other than Devon who was working on his usual rounds on the Nirvana….after their discussions with Kyo a few weeks before….the two had gotten along a lot more than they had back then, though Misty knew that her relationship with Devon was somewhat still shaky at the moment. However, they were able to work well and get along with one another as they continued to work in their respective duties at the moment.

Devon thought about a lot of things at the moment….with the alliance well into the first month of it's founding….the men who were once ostracized by their own men for not following the set traditions and listened to the propaganda were given full amnesty and even given back their citizenship to Talark The young man however had other things in mind than the reinstatement of his Talark citizenship and that particular train of thought was centered on the conversation with Kyo about his relationship with Misty.

He wondered if now would be the time for him to ask her the question that had cropped up in his mind ever since that fateful day in the bed room that she had brought him in and what had transpired that day as well. He had no idea what had gotten into him and while Kyo had told him that it was natural in a way….he was still very much unsure and in the dark on how he was going to proceed on this matter before him. That had gotten the attention of more than one crew member and Aleck had been one of them.

The veteran Vanguard pilot was somewhat confused by the way Devon had been acting for the past few days and had asked him just what was bothering him at the moment. The young man replied that he had some issues that he needed to work out when it concerned women and all the things that he thought he knew about them when he was still back on Talark at the time. The veteran then told him that women were not all bad people and he should take the chance to see how things would work.

The Talark teen thought it over and decided to talk it over with Misty, he placed aside his tools and equipment for the time being and turned to Misty.

“Misty….can I talk to you for a minute?”

The blue haired teen woman turned to her partner and nodded as she placed aside the report.

“Sure….what is it about now?”

Devon sighed and decided to just get in on with as he was never the kind of guy to beat around the bush, though he had no idea what that meant when he heard about it at the moment. He had heard the saying in passing before and for some reason, it fit the situation that he was currently in with Misty.

“I was thinking about what happened between you and me….and what it means….”

“Really? Go on…”

Devon took a deep breath and told Misty all that he could at the moment….ever since the incident, he had been looking at her in ways that were totally foreign to him and while they were utterly confusing they were far from unpleasant to him as the images included him and her catching up where they had left off nearly a month and several weeks before and when they had that conversation with Kyo, the images began to get more and more vivid for him and he had no idea why he had them at this point and time.

Misty listened the whole time…not interrupting Devon as he tried to make sense of his vivid imaging's concerning him and her together. The young woman had to admit that she was very much amused and happy, but kept in mind that Devon was not entirely comfortable with the idea of being intimate with a woman….they had come close to doing that themselves but they stopped themselves in time. But now….it was time.

She looked at Devon and replied.

“You know….that's not really bad….you're just feeling attracted to me Devon…Kyo said it was normal after all so you shouldn't be worried.”

“But those images….I was doing those….”

“I know….you told me that remember? But I have to say I'm really aroused by that….”

“Really?”

“Yeah….listen Devon….I know that you're really confused and all….and I have to admit that I am getting used to the idea of being physically attracted to you as well.”

“What?”

Misty gave a cheeky grin and replied.

“believe me when I say that you're not the only one in this ship getting naughty ideas….i can wager a bet after being told the facts of life by Kyo, that the rest of the crew here on the Nirvana are having thoughts like the ones you and I have….and the images in MY head are so interesting that I am tempted to grab you right now….kiss you senseless and drag you to a room and we can make all those fantasies come true right now.”

Devon blushed bright red and so did Misty and she took a deep breath and replied.

“But maybe we could go to that at a much better time….I know for a fact that you are still new to the whole thing and I don't want to rush into this….when you feel that you are ready for the next step….then tell me when you want to, okay?”

Devon thought about it and nodded. And it was then that Misty smiled and kissed him right on the lips…making him blush somewhat at the action she had just done on him at the moment. The deep blue haired teen knew that there would be time for this to happen but she wanted this one to be special and to last as well so even though it would be torture for her at the moment….she would wait until Devon would be more open minded and willing to take the chance of moving their current relationship to a much higher level.

With that settled the two got back to their usual duties onboard the ship.

Barnette herself was busy on her own matters as she ran a diagnostic check on her Dread and also did some of the routine maintenance work on her Gundam the SwitchBlade. As she did so….she thought about her own future with Max and hoped to be with him again….with their duties the Dread and Gundam pilot barely had time to be with Max and it was annoying her to no end at the moment….but she was not going to be idle for long as she had every intention to finally get some alone time with him. As she finished her rounds….she decided to go and meet up with the rest of the crew and see how things were shaping up. As she got up and made her way to the door, she thought back on what could happen and she rubbed her belly and thought about having a child with Max and that made her bluish bright red for a moment or two as she thought about it….

(Maybe someday….when this is all over….)

She was not the only one as Parfait was also thinking about her relationship with Duero as she worked in the Engineering Bay in the Nirvana….with all their current duties, the two barely had time to be alone and despite her focus on her duties, she found it to be very distracting and she hoped that sooner or later she could finally have the alone time she wanted with Duero so they could finally catch up on other things. She then thought about what they had talked about and she couldn't help but touch her stomach a bit and thought about the idea of having a child with Duero and she felt this desire for that to happen when the fight with the Harvesters would be over soon, she also wondered just how her family would take to the fact that she would have a child with a man and the fact that she loved him more than anything in her life. She thought about it even more and decided to get some time with Duero and have a chance to be together for themselves once more. With that in mind she decided to go get some coffee to drink for the time being.

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

In the Megele Academy….Kyo sat down and spoke to the six women who were in his quarters at the moment….these six were the closest he had to a family and he knew that his announcement of him leading the strike team right into the very heart of the Harvester Mother ship would not sit well with them and as much as he also disliked the idea…he knew that his words were very much true to say the least.

“You can't be serious Kyo!!! Going with only a small team?! You'll….”

Meia didn't want to say it but she couldn't help but try and plead to Kyo not to throw away his life this time….there was too much going on now for him to just decide to die and leave them….she loved him and the idea of living on without him by her side for the rest of her life was like being stabbed in the heart.

Kyo didn't need to say it as he looked at Jura, Dita, Sara, and Mai….the same fear and sorrow gripped them as well….he knew that his actions would not sit well with the women he loved more than anything and now he had to reassure them that he would come back….he would not die so easily and fall. He had vowed not to die until he had a truly worthy future before him.

“I will not die Meia….I have no intention of dying easily. You have to trust me on this…”

Jura spoke slowly to him, hoping that she could convince him as well.

“You might mean that Kyo….but we can't sit by and do nothing….who knows what can happen to you out there…we've endured things together ever since this journey started….we will not leave you….if you really want to go through with this…let us come with you….”

Kyo expected that and looked at Jura who was serious with tears in her eyes….Meia likewise spoke as well.

“We will be part of the team….we will not let yet you go alone this time Kyo….”

Dita nodded as well as she spoke to Kyo seriously as well.

“I want to be with you to the very end Kyo….I will NOT let you go alone….you've been alone all your life before you met us….and you will not be alone when we finally face the bad aliens!!!!”

Sara nodded in agreement as well.

“We love you Kyo and nothing would make us happier than to be with you in everything….we've thought it over….and we want to have a future with you, we want to live with you to the very end….and we mean it. We nearly lost you once and then several times over….and the pain for us was unbearable….we will not leave you now.”

Mai then finished that with her own words.

“Because we want you to come back alive to us….we want you to live….and most of all ….we want you to be with us for as long as we live….because living without you is far worse than death.”

Kyo knew that to be true and he nodded and he hugged each of them in turn and felt their tears on his shoulders as they held him tightly…the fact that Meia, Dita, Jura, Mai and Sara would rather die than live without him made him vow to come back from the soon to come battle and he wanted them to know that.

He touched their slender stomachs each and looked at them all and spoke seriously.

“I promise you that I will not let myself die…and when this war is over….I will be with you to the very end of my days, and I will be more than happy to raise a family with you all….”

He then gave a slight chuckle and replied.

“Though it's going to be hard as hell to find a job to support you all when this is all over….”

Jura and the others smiled and laughed a bit at the truth in that statement and Magno couldn't help but shed a small tear at the sight before her at the moment and she decided to speak to further lighten the mood before them all at the moment.

“Don't worry Kyo….with your qualifications….there's NO job that you can't do.”

Kyo nodded and as the day wore on….he bid Magno and the others farewell as he got back to work with Commander Heidi arranging meetings with the military, commercial and industrial bloc leaders of Megele's government. He knew that his break was now officially over and he now had to go back to leading the officers on Megele and laying down the foundation of the plans that he had created to ensure that the women of Megele would be given a fighting chance when the time came for them to face the Harvesters.

It was going to be a very long number days before he shipped off to start his work load in Talark and he knew that as soon as he would set foot on Talark he would be swamped with the work that was coming in soon for him. Talark was a whole new slew of challenges and he knew that things are going to change as he knew that sooner or later….the Megele women will have to visit the men's world and see just how the men survive in the desert world. He had made plans in having women live on Talark to understand the way the men lived, and then have the men also live on Megele to see how the women lived on their world and what sort of world the women were born in so the two sides could learn from each other's cultures and customs….plus the previous delegates from the two planets would also be able to show the others their experiences.

He therefore made a mental note to talk to Magno and he would each interview the delegates and see how much they have learned about living with each other. He only hoped that the experiences would be able to allow them to see the good things and bad things that exist in each other's cultures and beliefs. That was going to be the hardest hurdle in the Alliance.

For now however….he focused on the coming meetings with the other leaders of Megele in order to tell them of the plans. He knew that he was going to have a hell of a time explaining everything but he knew that it was part of his job.

Author's Notes:

Well now….this wraps up this chapter and I have to admit that despite the long time it took to make this….it has grown well enough. To all my readers of GunDread SEED The Second Stage….I apologize for the long delays of updates….but keep in mind that since this story is reaching it's end….coming up with a good climax and ending for this gem of a story is taking much longer and is much harder than anyone thinks.

However….this chapter is the prelude to what is soon to come in the series….as you have seen so far, Kyo is now making the plans to make the alliance between Talark and Megele work together in the soon to come invasion of the Harvesters, and making their industrial sectors share the work load proves to be the very first step and dealing with the hardliners on Megele is the very first victory Kyo as gained as Grand Admiral of the Allied Fleet, and the second will be shown in the coming chapters as Kyo will be heading to Talark to spend the next month there.

How will Kyo handle being on an all male planet despite the fact he had been there before? Namely when he would have to deal with the hardliners of the men who would no doubt use this chance to try and convince him yet again to favor the men of Talark over the women of Megele in this alliance? Kyo is going to have his work cut out for him as he juggles this second part of his alliance…

But there are still two months before he would have to deal with the problems of combining both forces and have them learn to work in unison in battle as a cohesive fleet when the battle with the Harvesters will soon begin in earnest. How will Kyo be able to forge them into a single unified whole? And what of the Resistance forces that are beyond the belt? Will they make it in time as they rally their forces to finally come to the side of the newly formed Allied Fleet?

We'll have to find out soon enough!

Oh yes….before I forget…

In the coming chapters….the romantic and lustful antics of the five Megele women with Kyo is about to produce some VERY interesting results, and will give Kyo even MORE reason to fight for the future of both the Allied Fleet and the Resistance…

That's right….the women in Kyo's life are about to finally hit the home run on their antics in bed and out of it….they will soon be pregnant! Of course….they will not be the only ones as a certain pair of couples will also get the news that will further reinforce their relationships and give them something to look forward to after the war is all over.

The men and women from both Talark and Megele who are onboard the Nirvana will also show the results of being together for the past few weeks. I didn't talk about that due to having some prior engagements to speak of…plus I did need time to relax and avoid burning myself out and suffering writer's block at the moment. Nothing in my mind is worse than suffering writer's block at a critical point in the series. We will see interactions with the male and female delegates onboard the Nirvana and while some will be funny, other might not be so funny and will be downright serious and direct as well. This will also apply when the militaries of both worlds will have to work and live together for the next months in order to build unity and cohesion.

We will see how the men and women act once they are now working side by side and what will be the results of the previous delegates returning back to their worlds and cultures in the coming chapters and then the real hard work gets underway. And at the next chapters…we will see what happens when the information on how men and women had children with on another is finally shown to the men and women of both worlds.

Hang on to your hats for that number as this story is soon to reach the end of the line!!!

Oh yes….here's something for all you readers of GunDread SEED The Second Stage….I already made mention that sooner or later….the sexual antics of the couples in the story will soon bear fruit and here's a sample of what you will expect soon enough.

Trailer:

Jura was shocked and delighted by the news as she looked at the results of her latest medical examination. She was not the only one at the moment as Meia, Dita, Sara, and Mai were also shocked and delighted by the news being handed to them at this very moment by both Duero and Max….along with Paiway….and another new addition to the Nirvana's medical roster….Nurse Fiona from the Paradise…

Kyo himself was shocked and amazed by what he was being told at this time by his long time friends as he was there with them all in the Nirvana's Medical Bay….it had been a quiet day for him being on the Nirvana and working on his Gundam when he was called into the Medical Bay by Duero and Max. When he got there….he was greeted with shouts of happiness from the five women and by his friends….including his grand niece and Buzam/Tenmei as well.

Jura was the first to speak…

“Is this true Duero, Max….am I really….?”

“Yes…you will be expecting your child's birth in less than a month from now….and you're not the only one Jura….as you can see, you're not the only one expecting a young bundle of joy in a few months. Congratulations to you all….you are soon to be come in a few months… mothers.”

Jura sniffled and she looked at Kyo with a warm smile and she was joined by Sara, Mai, Dita, and Meia…..it however wasn't long before two other women entered the room and they were none other than Barnette Orangello and Parfait Balblair and they were smiling beautifully to their loved ones and they walked up to the Duero and Max and the two women then hugged the men they loved.

The others were somewhat surprised except Kyo and Magno who were both quick to get the hidden message of the smiles the two women had on their faces at the moment and Kyo was able to speak to his two friends.

“Looks like you two are about to become a father like me….am I right Barnette, Parfait?”

The two women nodded and the looks on the two brothers were priceless as both Barnette and Parfait spoke to them.

“I'm pregnant!!!!”

The brothers reacted in the way Kyo expected…

THUD!!!!

They fainted…

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

I hoped you enjoyed that and I am going to make it clear that these will not be the only couples in the story as the men and women of both Talark and Megele are going to mingle soon enough. And we get to see the results of having the delegates return home to tell of their experiences with the opposite gender and it will not be the end of the Nirvana playing a key part in the reunification of men and women in this sector of space.

The biggest question will be how the men and women of both Talark and Megele would react when they find out that Duero and Max, men from Talark are now expecting their first child with Parfait and Barnette respectively….as well as the announcement that Jura, Dita, Meia, Sara, and Mai are also pregnant with their first children with none other than Kyo himself….

See you there!!!
