Phase 10: Divided Paths

On the Vesalius, Raww orders them to withdraw because Lux is onboard the Archangel. Athrun is furious. He asks that if Kira fights with people who take hostages. Kira couldn’t respond. Athrun then tells him he will come back to rescue her and Aegis flies away. On Archangel, Marrue tells them that even though they cannot shoot them, they can still follow, so it hasn’t changed. Natarle tells her they can not rethink their strategy. Marrue tells that she knows in a clam voice. In the dock, Mwu tells them to hurry with the repairs. Kira asks what that was about earlier. Mwu tells him that is it. Kira then asks him if taking Lux as a hostage and threatening her is what the Atlantic Alliance like. Mwu looks at him. Kira shuts up. Mwu tells him because they are weak and that either way they are not to question Marrue and Natarle doings. Kira looks away.

On Vesalius, Ades tells them that chasing them won’t bring harm to Lux, so they can. Raww then tells that they are probably going to meet with the Earth’s fleet. Raww asks how long will they reach with Gamw. Ades tells 7 hours. Raww then says then the Atlantic Alliance will be able to do anything before they could stop them. Raww says it is troublesome. Athrun is in thought.

On Archangel, Fllay is sleeping in her room with Ssigh watching her. Fllay suddenly open her eyes. She then gets a trauma vision of her father ship being destroyed and wakes up screaming. Ssigh runs to her and asks what’s wrong. She asks where her father is. Then she grabs Ssigh and demands where her father is. Ssigh tells her to let and calm down, but she wouldn’t. Fllay cries and Milly comes in. Milly drops the bottles she was carrying. Outside Kira hears and runs in. Kira calls Fllay’s name, but Fllay calls him a liar. She tells him that he said everything would be alright before. She yells at him why he didn’t protect her father’s ship. Ssigh cries Fllay to stop. Kira looks down. Fllay then yells that because he is a coordinator and he wasn’t fighting seriously. Kira then is in shock. Fllay cries on Ssigh’s chest call for her father to come back. Kira then runs away. He goes on the elevator and remembers what Athrun said and Mwu and then Fllay’s hurt words. Kira tries to hold the tears. Kira floats down the hall and passes by Kazui. Kazui wonders what happened. Kira goes down to the window and screams twice. Then a voice asks him what the matter is. He looks up and sees Lux.

On Vesalius, Raww is cleaning himself and his mask his on the counter. You can’t see Raww’s face because of bright light. I guess they don’t want you to see his face. He receives a message from Ades. Ades tells that he receive something from PLANT. Ades asks if he could tell him. Raww tells no and he’ll receive it on the bridge. He then drinks some water. He puts the bottle down and clenches his fist and moves out. On the counter there seems his bottle, some pills, and his mask.

Lux tries to touch Kira’s face, but he blocks her hand. He then rubs his eyes and asks what she is doing here. Lux tells that she was taking a walk and she heard a loud scream. Kira blushes and tells her she shouldn’t walk around because people might think she is a spy. Lux flies toward Kira. Kira grabs her hands and lends her down. Lux then tells that the pink Haro walks around, even when the door is lock, the door will open. The Haro says that he doesn’t want to admit it. Kira then tells to go back together. Lux then flies to the celling and asks if the fighting is over. Kira then says yes. Lux lands on the floor and tells that his face is so sad. Kira tells her that he doesn’t want to fight. Kira says that he is a coordinator and his friend is Athrun Zala. Kira reveals that he is the pilot of Aegis. Nearby Kazui hears and runs away. Lux then says that they are both good people and it’s a sad thing. Kira then asks if she knows Athrun. She says that Athrun and her will mary someday. She tells him that Athrun gave her the pink Haro. Since she said she liked it, Athrun made more. Kira is amazed and said that Athrun hasn’t changed since. Kira tells her that Tori were built by him also. Lux then tells wouldn’t it be great if they not have to fight each other.

Meanwhile Ssigh, Tolle, and Milly are in a room. Milly tells that she understands Fllay feelings, but what she said was too mean. Kazui comes in. Tolle then says that what Fllay said wasn’t true and Kira always tries his best. Kazui then asks if that was really true. Ssigh asks what is up. Kazui tells that he just heard Kira teelign Lux that Aegis is pilot by his old friend. Everyone is surprised.

Kira is on his bed, but not sleeping. He remembers what Lux said. Kira then tells to himself that it is still not right. Kira goes to Lux’s room and Lux wakes up and asks what it is. Kira tells her to come with him quietly. Kira and Lux runs down the hall, but Kira stops and hids Lux behind a wall. Ssigh and Milly sees Kira. Lux then pops up behind. Ssigh then points behind Kira. Kira turns around and then looks down. Milly asks him what he is doing and then realizes. Kira tells her that he hates this. Ssigh then tells that taking a girl hostage is something a bad guy would do anyway and he says that they’ll help. Kira thanks Ssigh. In a room Kira gets a spacesuit and tells Lux to put it on the top. Kira then is shocked that she has a dress. Lux realizes and changes in front of Kira. Kira hid behind the spacesuit and is embarrassed. When they came out, Ssigh sees Lux with her dress underneath. Ssigh jokes and says how many months have it been and Milly sighs. They go to the dock and Kira jumps in Strike. Ssigh helps Lux get inside. Lux thanks him and tells that she hope she will see them next time. Ssigh tells her maybe. Then Murdock yells at them what they are doing. Ssigh asks Kira if he will come back to them. Kira tells that he promises. Then Kira closes the cockpit and starts Strike. He tells Ssigh to cover him and goes off. Ssigh yells that he trusts him. In the deck, they get a alarm. Mwu contacts that Kira has open the hatch. He tells that it’s too late. Everyone is in shock. Strike launches into space and heads for Vesalius.

On Vesalius, they get a message that Archangel launched Strike. Athrun jumps in Aegis. Kira contacts them and tells that only Athrun is to come and he is giving back Lux. Athrun pleads Ades to let him go, but Ades is worried if it is a trick. Raww then understands and tells Athrun to take off. Athrun thanks him. Ades asks Raww. Raww tells him that it seems the pilot of Strike is still a kid. Aegus flies toward Strike and stops. Strike points a gun at Aegis cockpit and asks if it is Athrun. Kira tells to open the cockpit. Athrun opens his cockpit and so does Kira. Kira tells Lux to talk to him because he is not sure if it was her. Lux says good morning to him and Haro talks. Kira then lets her go and Athrun grabs her hands. He looks at Lux because she has her dress underneath. He the turns to Kira and asks him to fight with him. Kira holds his tears and tells him that he won’t because he has friends onboard. Athrun feels sad and then burst out that he will fire at him in the next battle and Kira repeats the same. Kira closes his cockpit door and Strike drifts off. Meanwhile on Vesalius, Raww launches in his Ginn. Archangel receives the launch, launches Zero. In Aegis, Lux switches some controls, but Athrun tells that its too dangerous. Lux contacts Vesalius and Raww and tells him to stop. Raww grows with rage, but then stops anyway because she is the daughter of Senetor Klien. Athrun looks at her and she smiles.

Mwu then tells Kira to go back to Archangel. Mwu wonders about that princess Lux and asks Kira what’s wrong. Kira says nothing, but tears roll down. In Fllay’s room, Fllay sits in her bed and she tells herself that at this rate, they’ll die.
