Gundam SEED Fan Fiction ❯ Eternal Love ❯ Chapter 7 ( Chapter 7 )

Chapter 7

Kira had finally tackled down the location of Rau. Kira had sent in a team of 7 people to assassinate, or capture Rau. The team was being lead by Andrew Waltfeld. As the team headed towards the location, Andrew opened up a brief case and assembled his Accuracy International Super Magnum (Model number L115A1. Some people might know this sniper as the AWP)

Touching his transmitter, Andrew spoke. “Alright we're heading in.”

“Wait, don't, not yet” Kira said. “Don't make a move just yet. I'm going to send you a satellite overview image of the area. This guy is a big time killer; I want to take extra precautions.” Kira said.

“Alright, now that you mention it, that is a good idea.” Andrew said. “We'll stand by until further orders” Andrew said.

“Just hang tight, it's going to take awhile” Kira said. Andrew sighed. The midnight breeze blew rather furiously, it was a sign of a storm hitting soon. Resting his gun on the hill behind the tree, Andrew rested his body on the ground, sitting up. Andrew's team stood by and carefully observed the house, checking to make sure that there was no sign of anyone else. Going down on one knee while keeping aim at the house with his 9mm handgun, equipped with a sound suppresser, Shinn Auska was a little confused. Inching himself closer to Andrew, Shinn silently spoke.

“Sir, what are we doing? More importantly, what are you doing?” Shinn asked. Shinn was Andrew's newest apprentice. Shinn had been training for the last year and a half just to work under Kira Yamato. Shinn was a very young talented, yet deadly soldier. Don't let his attitude fool you, he's a lot smarter then most people give him credit for. Although Shinn was talented for his age, Kira and Andrew were a little hesitant to send him into the field. Shinn had practically begged Kira. He wanted nothing more then to be in the field. After days of begging, Kira finally accepted.

There were a total of 7 guards there, including Andrew Waltfeld. Andrew was equipped with AISM Sniper Rifle, and had a standard 9mm handgun as his secondary. Everyone else there except for Shinn had M4's with 9mm handguns. Shinn used a 9mm handgun as his standard gun, his secondary gun which he had mounted on his back, was an AK47. Which everyone found odd, even Shinn did, but then Kira told him the reason for the AK47, it seemed very logical to Shinn. Shinn was shocked that Kira himself knew so much about guns, he must've of really done his homework on his part.

“It's going to be awhile before we actually head in. I might as well rest for the time being” Andrew said. Shinn sighed. Reaching into his pocket, Andrew pulled out a thermos. Twisting the top of, he began to sip. Shinn's eyes widened.

“You brought your coffee?” Shinn asked, already knowing the truth. Andrew smiled.

“Well of course” Andrew said. Andrew held out the thermos to Shinn. “Want some?”

Shinn had a sour look mounted onto his face. “No thanks, I'll pass.” Shinn said. Andrew chuckled.

“Well it's not something that someone your age can appreciate yet. You'll learn what I mean eventually, when you stop drinking your milk and decide to grow up.” Andrew teased. Shinn's full attention went to Andrew.

“Hey, I'm not a child!” Shinn yelled.

“SHHH… Quiet down you two, we'll be spotted” One of the others said.” Shinn immediately focused his attention back at the house.

“…Old man” Shinn said. Andrew smiled, changing the subject.

“Damn it, what's taking Kira so long?” Andrew asked. Just as Andrew said, that Kira's voice appeared on the transmitter.

“I'm almost done, just hang on” Kira said. Andrew sighed. Andrew touched his transmitter.

“Hurry up Kira. I'm starting to feel a bit agitated here” Andrew said, taking his finger off the transmitter's button.

---------------------------------------------------------

Kira slouched back, colliding into the backrest, the chair tilted back a bit. Observing the 7 LCD monitors that lay before his eyes, Kira tried to arrange his thoughts. Although the 7 monitors were all connected to the same computer, they each served a purpose. Kira's eyes were fixed on the most important monitor. The screen was a satellite over view; from there he was able to use a thermal scoop to see how many men were inside the house. What confused Kira was not the amount of people he had, it was the security he had. There were laser sensors security everywhere, and he also had a lot of camera's monitoring the outside. This guy is acting too cautious. Through the satellite image, Kira was able to see several different views. Kira could also view the satellite image in a normal clear view, and he could also use night, thermal, and IMF vision (Sorry I forgot what it stands for but it enables you to see electronic materials).

Taking a breathier, Kira had an itch on his right arm. Scratching his arm, Kira gazed at his hand, lifting it up in front of his eyes, he was relieved. Originally Kira was only supposed to wear the cast for about 2 months, but for some unexplained reason, it took almost 4 months to heal properly. The cast was replaced with a white tight sleeve; it was just for a few days. Although some time has passed, Kira still wore it to remind himself, the way he had acted was stupid. He wore it as a reminder. Focusing his attention back on the screen, Kira tried to figure out what their best option was. No matter how hard Kira tried to see through this, the security was too overwhelming for his team.

Walking over and standing behind Kira, Mwu tried his best to understand what he was seeing, but the honest truth was that Mwu really didn't understand what he was seeing, despite the satellite image, the other 6 monitors were all in codes. “Kira what's wrong?” Mwu asked. Grasping his skull, Kira tried to come up with a plan, but he couldn't figure it out. Kira searched for 2 years over the net trying to find this guy, and now that he's found him, he can't find a way to get to him. Kira could've shut down the power to the house, but he thought that it would be too obvious. Kira wanted Rau distracted, if the power was turned off, then Rau might hear them approach.

Getting on the com, Kira contacted Andrew.

----------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------

---------------------------------------------------

“Are you done yet Kira?” Andrew said, holding down the button on the com.

“…Sorry, his security is really tight. I need you to listen carefully when you're going in. Did you put your ASIM together yet?” Kira asked.

“Yea, I've put it together since we got here” Andrew said.

“What about the others?” Kira asked.

“They're all locked and loaded Kira” Andrew said.

“I'm sorry, I tried to think of every possible solution, but the only thing that works is for me cut off the power” Kira said. Andrew was a little confused.

“Why would that be a problem?” Andrew asked.

“I didn't want to resort to that solution because he might pick up on it. He's an assassin Andrew. You have to act cautious. A strategic mind holds the key to success.” Kira said.

“Andrew I've uploaded the schematics to all of your PDA's. If you take a look closely on the PDA, you'll see red blinking dots, those are human's. As you can see they're all inside.” Kira said. “It's a good think this house is in the middle of no where, otherwise we might be seen.”

“Yea, so, are you giving me a go, Kira?” Andrew asked.

“Yea, just make sure everyone is online with me on their ear piece.” Kira said. It took a few minutes but Andrew told everyone about the PDA, and he ordered all of them to equip their ear pieces. After that they were finally ready to go. Docking the ASIM onto his back, Andrew took out his 9mm handgun and added his sound suppressor to it.

“We're all ready Kira” Andrew said.

“Alright, I'm monitoring you're movements carefully. Trust me guys, I'll guide you through this. All of you turn on your body cameras and put on your night vision.” Kira said. All of them did as they were told.

“The window nearest to you, located on the right side, rush to it!” Kira said. With that, they all rushed just as Kira said. Right when they neared the house, the power went out and inside became pitch black. Running to the window, Shinn took out his knife and began to pick on the side, gently picking the lock, the window unlocked. Gently Shinn lifted the window and climbed into the darkened room.

----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------

-----------------------------------------------------

Rau was doing something on the computer when suddenly the power to his computer was cut off. Rau was in no shock. This was the third time this month that he experienced a blackout. Getting up, Rau went into the other room to look for some light. While walking through his dark hallways, Rau noticed just how quiet it was. He called out the names of the people who were there in the house with him, but he didn't get a response. Rau had to admit, he was feeling a bit frustrated. Something was going on; he just couldn't put his finger on it. Walking to the corner, he saw a man, a soldier, dressed in a black S.W.A.T. uniform. He had his M4 pointed at Rau. The man shot his rifle, but Rau quickly jumped back into the room.

“I have a visual!” The man yelled, following Rau's movements. He ran after Rau, but Rau was already gone from the room. “Damn it, I lost him”

Shinn was on the other side of the house with a few others. They separated into 3 groups. Shinn was in group Alpha that had 3 people. There was another group of 3 called Alpha. The Delta team searched the first floor, the Alpha searched the basement, and Andrew, who was working alone, cleared the upstairs floor on his own. Making his way towards the basement, Shinn was a little nervous. Looking at his P.D.A he saw a few heat sources in the basement. So far his team took out 4 guys, and he was hoping to take out Rau, which he was convinced was in the basement.

There were 3 people in the basement, it seemed as though they were playing cards with very few candles. The 3 were too distracted to notice anything. Sadly for them, nether of them saw bullets flying towards them. In an instant, they were dead.

“This is Alpha; we're all clear down here. The target isn't here.” Shinn said, warning the other teams, and Kira.

Focusing on the satellite image screen, something caught Kira's attention. “Shit!”

“Guys he's outside. He's making a run for it.!” Kira told them. Looking at their P.D.A screens, they were able to see what direction he was running in. Alpha team and Delta team ran straight outside after the target. Andrew was still in the house, he stepped out onto the balcony on the highest floor. Andrew could slightly see Rau; he was almost out of sight. Andrew put his 9mm away and grabbed his AWP. Looking through the scoop, Andrew had a perfect shot of Rau.

“Kira, I have a shot” Andrew said. “Should I take it?”

Kira didn't even hesitate. “Do it, and make sure he doesn't get up” Kira said. Andrew pulled the trigger. An insanely loud echo was heard throughout the whole area. Rau was hit right in the back of the head. Shinn heard what that noise was. The AWP was the most powerful sniper to date, but it was also the loudest. Shinn and the rest all stopped when they saw the fallen body. Shinn didn't even need to check the body, it was clear that he was dead. This was Shinn's first time seeing a dead body like this, he felt like he was going to through up. The scene was very disturbing.

“The target has be taken out, I repeat it has been taken out” Shinn said. Kira sighed in relief. This turned out better then he thought, but why was it so simple?

“Good work. Leave the body and get the hell out of there. I've set an extraction point for you. Check you're PDA's for the location.” Kira said.

“Roger that” Andrew said.

------------------------------------------------

The pilot to Kira's helicopter just informed Kira that they safely gathered the team and were now heading back. Kira was relieved that his team made it back without any casualties. Kira felt like a great burden was lifted off his shoulders.

“Mwu come here!” Kira called out, hoping to get Mwu's attention. After a few seconds, Mwu came in carrying some papers.

“What is it Kira?” Mwu asked. Kira smiled.

“It's over” he said. We can finally stop worrying. Mwu sighed in relief.

“Thank god. Kira you know, you're a great guy, so tell me, how come you don't have a girlfriend?” Mwu asked. Kira never really talked about girls with Mwu, so Mwu didn't know anything about Kira's life in Japan. Kira sighed.

“Mwu, please shut up” Kira said. “Don't talk to me about this. I told you, I don't like talking about it” Kira said.

“I didn't ask you about your past. I asked you why you don't have a girlfriend.” Mwu said. Kira tried to change the subject.

“What's that?” referring to the papers Mwu was holding.

“This is Mark's true identity. I was finally able to get my hands on this” Mwu said, handing the papers over to Kira. Kira took the papers and began observing the paper.

“…Mark Dullindal” Kira said. “I already know this Mwu. I've found out the day of his arrest.”

Mwu sighed. “Now take a look at these” Mwu handed Kira some more papers. Taking the papers, Kira began to make sense of them. Mark has 12 different identities? What does this mean?” Kira looked up at Mwu. Kira had never felt more confused in his life. There was something about this, it seemed as though something was creeping from the shadows. There was no actual proof that Mark existed, but Dullindal had been known for a long time. This had always been bugging Kira. If Mark never existed in the first place, then how the hell did he end up being Dullindal's son?

“I don't understand this, I don't understand any of this” Kira said. “Nothing of this makes any sense”

“It does if you actually think about it” Mwu said. “Mark wasn't Dullindal's son. Mark is Dullindal, he's a clone. That's why Mark never existed on paper, Dullindal cloned himself. As for Dullindal, his life, his accomplishments, they were all made up. Gilbert Dullindal is a name he came up with. But there isn't any evidence that led up to who he was. Someone made up his life, and they covered it up professionally.” Mwu said. Kira was shocked.

“…How did you come up with this information?” Kira asked.

“You have your sources, and so I have mine. But I can't really prove to you about Gilbert Dullindal, I'm telling you this based on theory, but it's a theory that makes sense.” Mwu said. Kira nodded.

“…Yea, it makes a lot of sense actually.” Kira added. Kira was about to ask Mwu about his sources when suddenly his phone rang. It was Dearkka, the agent he sent over to Japan for the last 2 years to watch over a certain somebody. Picking up his phone, Kira quickly answered.

“How is she doing?” Kira answered the phone.

“…Kira, she's awake” Dearkka said. At that moment, Kira's heart began to pump faster and faster. Kira had always promised himself, when Lacus woke up, he would go see how she was doing even thought Cagalli told him to stay away, Kira wasn't going to let Cagalli control what he can and cannot do. But Kira couldn't leave just yet; he still had some important things to do.

“How long has she been awake?” Kira asked, remembering what happened right before she was shot.

“…2 months ago, maybe 3” Dearkka said. Kira's eyes widened.

“I told you to tell me as soon as she wakes up” Kira said, he was disappointed.

“Sorry, I guess I kind of forgot, I lost track of what I was doing. But more importantly, I have some information that might be a little hard for you to hear. Something's happened to her.” Dearkka said. Kira's eyes widened.

“…What, what happened?” Kira said, he was really starting to feel scared.

“Lacus doesn't know who she is, or where she came from. She has none of her memories.” Kira literally felt his heart drop. Lacus had no memories?

“…But for some reason, the first words she said when she woke, it was your name” Dearkka said. It took several minutes for Kira's brain to absorb what was being said to him. Mwu saw the reaction on Kira's face and felt he should leave. Turning around, Mwu walked out.

When Kira didn't respond, Dearkka became confused. “…Sir?” Dearkka said.

“…Thank you, Dearkka. Well listen, we got the guy that had her shot, you don't need to watch over her any longer. You can head back here now. Thank you for watching over her Dearkka. I'll have a bonus waiting for you when you return.” Kira said.

“…Oh thank you sir”

“Hurry up and get back here then” Kira said.

“Yes, bye sir”

“Bye” Kira closed his cell phone. Kira couldn't believe it. Lacus had lost her memory; Lacus had forgotten everything, everything they've been through.

“…But she remembers my name?” Kira said out loud “I have to see her”

----------------------------------------------------------------- --------------

-------------------------------------------------

Twiddling her thumbs over and over again. Lacus looked around the room, she was scared. Lacus didn't know who she was or where she came from. The doctor came to check up on her but that was the only visit she got. Looking at her hands, she could see them shake.

“…What happened to me?” She asked herself, hoping to remember something. The name Kira was ringing in her head once again.

“…Who's Kira?” She asked herself. Tears began to form in her eyes. “Why can't I remember anything?”

Summoning her strength, Lacus got up from the bed she was in. Her legs were a little wobbly at first, probably from the effect of not using her legs for the passed 22 months. She was taking therapy to regain her strength, but it was taking longer the expected.

The door to the room opened and in Cagalli came. Lacus quickly turned around. The girl's appearance had no effect on her whatsoever. “Lacus” Cagalli said, with tears formed in her eyes. Lacus didn't know what to say, nor did Cagalli. Cagalli had come often to see Lacus, but every time she would get close, Lacus would begin to panic, she didn't know what the reason was for it.

As soon as Cagalli walked near her bed, she panicked. Cagalli took a seat on the bed; she really didn't know what to say.

 

“…How are you feeling, Lacus?” Cagalli asked. Lacus nodded. Cagalli saw the look in her eyes, she was scared and confused. She was like this every time she came to see her. Cagalli inched closer to Lacus but Lacus slid back. She didn't want to be touched. Lacus felt scared, she had never felt so scared before. Cagalli could see her eyes quiver in fear.

Lacus had been taken therapy, the nurse's that helped her didn't make her panic, probably because Cagalli looked frightening at first

“…It's okay, I won't hurt you” Cagalli said, reaching out her hand. Cagalli reached out her hand hoping that Lacus would feel at ease, but instead, she got the complete opposite. “AHH!” Lacus screamed. Cagalli was startled. Cagalli didn't think that she would act like this. Lacus' scream was heard through out the halls as the doctor came rushing in. Lacus was petrified. Wait, what was Cagalli thinking? Every time Cagalli came to see Lacus, this would happen.

“That's enough Cagalli.” The doctor said, walking into the room. Cagalli understood. Cagalli knew there wasn't anything she could do. Just as the doctor and Cagalli were about to leave Lacus spoke.

“…Please, bring me Kira” Lacus asked. Cagalli quickly nodded. Walking out, the doctor shut the door behind him.

“This Kira she keeps speaking of, is it Kira Yamato?” The doctor asked. Cagalli nodded.

“She's been speaking about Kira often? Since …when?” Cagalli asked.

“Well for the past 2 days, it seems that she can only remember his name though.” The doctor said. “Do you know who it is?”

“Yea, they were very close before she was hit.” Cagalli asked. The doctor was a little surprised. “Do you know Kira personally?” The doctor asked.

“…He's my brother” she said. The doctor was shocked. He didn't think Kira Yamato had a sister.

“Well anyways, I think showing her this Kira might trigger something. Do you think you can bring him here?” The doctor asked.

“…I'll try my best.” Cagalli said.

----------------------------------------------------------------- --------

----------------------------------------

Getting back onto her bed, Lacus sat up and tucked her bare feet next to her bottom, she embraced her pillow tightly. “Kira…” Lacus whispered, making a tear drop. Lacus was sure that this Kira person was somebody she could trust, but she didn't know how he looked like or what kind of person he was.

-------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------

--------------------------------

Gathering some of his important things, Kira rushed to get out of the house.

“Master Kira where are you going?” one of his maids said. Kira smiled.

“I'm going to Japan, I don't know when I'll be back” Kira said. “Tell Mwu to call me if anything comes up. He doesn't know I'm leaving”

The maid nodded. “But… you haven't been outside this house in 2 years!”

Kira gave a reassuring smile. “Everything is okay now, don't worry.” Kira said. Putting on his jacket Kira walked out the door.

Kira took a taxi straight to the air port. Reaching the front desk, Kira gave his passport. “One ticket to Japan please” Kira asked.

“Japan, okay, just give me a second sir.” The front desk lady said. She did some settings on the computer; it took a few seconds before she responded.

“There's one plane leaving in 40minutes. But there's only one seat left, and it's in first class.” The lady said. Kira smiled.

“I'll take it”
