Prologue - Part 2

The two girls stared at the back of Nicol's as the boy exited the room.
Turning to one another they shared a look. Both of them had the
same thought in mind, as they prayed for their sister's safety.

Meanwhile, some distance away from them, a girl was tending to Murrae
Ramius, one of the female crew members of the Earth Alliance forces.
That girl was none other than Mirialla Haww, sister of Melody and Michelle Haww.
However, at this point of time, neither one of them knew they would
reunite with one another on a battlefield.

Kira Yamato, the only coordinator among the teenagers had been trying to
achieve communications with the Earth Alliance force when Zaft arrived for a
second round of attack. That was when Archangel responded, and hence Natarlie
ordered for the Archangel to set off. Their arrival seemed to stun the
Zaft cohort as they decided to retreat for the time being. The fact that
GAT-X105 Strike was aiming its weapon at them was a bonus to their weakness.

Mirialla sighed; she had no idea what she was going to do while on board the
Archangel. To be honest, she was frightened out of her wits.
This was the first time she had ever experienced the impact of war
on the frontline, not to mention, her sisters were currently still missing in
action. She could only hope that they had escaped unharmed, otherwise,
she did not know how to answer to her parents.

Her sigh seemed to have caught her boyfriend's attention, as Tolle
turned to her and asked. "Mir, don't worry...I'm sure they'll be fine."

Mirialla smiled tiredly at Tolle, grateful for his concern. Somehow, she
had a bad feeling about the war. She did not know why, but somehow she
felt as if Tolle were going to leave her side forever. Shaking her head,
she told herself firmly, 'No, I'm not going to think about such things now.
The most important thing now is how we are going to escape.'

She was drawn back into reality when the alarm sounded. The
whole ship was going on 'red alert' mode. She sighed, knowing deep in her
heart that the battle had begun. Sharing a look with Tolle, they both glanced
over to Kira with concern. No doubt, Kira would have to be
involved in the battle since he was the only one who could
pilot the Strike.

Sometime later, she could not help but noticed the ship filling up with
civilians. Turning towards the others, she asked. "Ne, do you have any idea
what's going on?"

Kuzzey and Sai shook their head in response, indicating that they had no
idea on the latest happenings. That was until Kira appeared with Fllay
Allster in tow.

"Fllay?" Sai started as Fllay flung herself into Sai's embrace.

They were talking among themselves when Mwu La Fllaga appeared in front of Kira,
asking him to help out Archangel in defense.

Fllay appeared stunned by the information, turning to Sai, she asked. "What
is going on here? What are they talking about?"

Everyone shifted uncomfortably, wondering if they should tell. After all, it was
not their place to do so. However, with Fllay's persistent urging and Kira
heading off to the hangar, Sai softened. "Fllay, did you see the robot-like
thing when you first came in? The pilot of that thing is Kira."

Fllay blinked. "Eh? How could someone like him pilot that thing?"

"That's because Kira's a coordinator." Kuzzey responded automatically, ignoring
Tolle's warning look.

"Eh? Kira's a coordinator?" Fllay was shocked; she had no idea about
Kira's background. Therefore the information came as a shock to her as she
had always assumed Kira to be a Natural.

"I wonder how Kira is dealing with all these events, despite being a
coordinator. He's still a civilian but he's fighting out there protecting us, I
wonder if there's anything we can do to help." Mirialla sighed.

They pondered over the matter in silence, before Sai spoke up. "Well... I
believe there must be something we can do, didn't you hear what the
Lieutenant said? They're short of crew members here, maybe we could
help."

The four of them shared a look before heading out, leaving Fllay behind looking
absolutely bewildered.

They managed to talk to the captain of Archangel into allowing them to help
out on the bridge. They were just heading over to the bridge after
changing into the crew uniforms when they met Kira. Kira was staring at their
attire with an unreadable expression; Sai said. "We decided to volunteer
ourselves for helping the ship out, 'cause it's only fair since you are
fighting outside with the enemies for our sakes. There's no way we are just
going to sit back and let you do the job alone."

With that said, the four of them bid Kira farewell and followed the person
leading them towards the bridge to report for duty.

They had only just settled down in their position, when they spotted Zaft forces
surrounding them. Upon closer inspection, they found themselves facing the four
mobile suits that had initially belonged to the Earth Alliance.

It was a good thing that Artemis, one of the colonies which
belonged to the Earth Alliance forces decided to let them into
their base, thus helping them to escape from Zaft attack temporarily.

Meanwhile, Melody and Michelle were hanging around in Athrun and Nicol's shared
room. Partly because Athrun and the commander in charge of the team, Rau Le
Cruez, was heading back off to Plant for a meeting. Therefore, Michelle had
taken the chance to visit her sister who was rooming with Nicol and
Athrun.

Turning to Athrun, Michelle asked. "Since you're not going to be here tonight,
can I sleep over?"

Athrun arched an eyebrow graciously at Michelle and answered. "Well, it's your
choice. I'm pretty much fine with it. How was last night with Yzak and
Dearka?"

Michelle snorted, and rolled her eyes heavenward as she replied.
"Well... so and so, it's not as bad as I predicted. Honestly, Dearka and Yzak's
room was so messy that I had to tidy up the room myself just to find
somewhere to sleep."

"Aa... well, I'll leave you alone with your sister. It's time for me to go off
anyway." Athrun responded with a smile.

Sometime later, Michelle examined Yzak's wound with a frown. "I only have one
thing to say, whoever piloted the 'Strike' as you guys called it, is
really good at aiming."

Dearka's eyebrow shot up at her statement, but Yzak spoke up first. Eyeing
Michelle strangely, he asked. "How did you know this was caused by the
pilot?"

Michelle stared at Yzak as if the latter was stupid and answered. "Well... I'm
not going to say anything else. All I can reveal is that I'm not as naive as you
guys thought me to be. After all, I'm educated in such areas."

Turning to Melody, she said. "Come on, let's go and find Nicol."

Dearka and Yzak stared at the back of the two girls with a look of bewilderment
on their faces, before shrugging and returning to their task at hand.
