    Past, Present, and Future

    Chapter 1
    It had been one year since that day. The day when the one that demolished the boundary between those genetically altered those not. A man who dropped out of view and became the greatest enigma of the Cosmic Era.

    Orb, Military Base C.E. 72

    "Commander Zala good to see you again. The new modified Astray units should be ready in three days. We modified the operating systems to your specifications and updated the weaponry as well." Said a young mechanic as Athrun walked through the hanger admiring his new Astray M2 units. There were lightweight melee combat units and long-range artillery units.

    "Good see that the operating systems are reformatted correctly." Replied Athrun as his cell started to ring. The caller I.D. showed C.Y-A. Seeing this Athrun immediately picked up the phone and answered the call.

    Phone Call

    Athrun- "Good morning, Princess. I see we finally woke up."

    Cagalli- "Cut the crap Athrun. You know we were going to have lunch with Lacus, Dearka, Milly, and Yzak since they're in town."

    Athrun- "I'll meet you at the restaurant in about an hour. Okay?"

    Cagalli- "Yeah sure. Just don't be late. You know Lacus and Yzak are here on business and they have lots of appointments to keep."

    Athrun- "I know. I'll see you later. Love You, Bye!"

    Normal P.O.V., Space: Near the destroyed remains of Heliopolis

    "Commander we have recovered the missing data. Shall we return now?" questioned a man in a black pilot suit (like the E.A. type) with a red stripe down one arm. On the shoulder was an insignia. It was a globe with a ZAFT symbol behind it and the Freedom Gundam's wings that had a separate ZAFT and O.M.N.I. Enforcer symbol on each wing.

    "Go ahead Lowe bring the data back. We're going to earth after this." Replied the man softly. He stood on the bridge of a ship. One that few could recognize as it's the only one in its class. The ship is the Eternal although it had been repainted a deep blue but leaving a small pink line on the right side of the ship.

    The man in the pilot suit was Lowe Gear, a former junk tech turned mercenary with his Red Frame L-2 he headed the Gerbera unit of the Wings of Freedom. "Hey Gai, you ready to head back?" asked Lowe in a light and airy tone.

    "Sure. The commander seems to have become quite preoccupied since our trip to the Mendel Colony." Replied the man also dressed in a black pilot suit with a blue stripe instead of red down one arm as he booted up his Blue Frame L-2. "Serpent unit we're returning to the Eternal." Commanded Gai as his Mobile Suit shot off in the direction of the ship.

    Meanwhile in Orb, Restaurant: Lunch Time

    Athrun had met Cagalli outside and had just been seated when, "Hello Athrun, Cagalli." Came the calm, melodic voice of Lacus who had just entered the restaurant. As Lacus sat down she looked visibly happier than she had in a while which Athrun and Cagalli both noticed. "How are you two?" asked Lacus as she sat down.

    "I've been doing pretty well excluding the whole paperwork thing." Mused Cagalli. Athrun chuckled slightly at this remembering how she raved about how much paperwork she had.

    "How about you Athrun? You haven't called me in such a long time and I've been so busy." Smiled Lacus. Both Cagalli and Athrun could tell her heart really wasn't in it.

    "I'm alright. I'm upgrading all of Orbs defenses right now." Answered Athrun as his drink arrived

    "Your drink sir." Said the waiter as he handed Athrun a glass of iced tea.

    "Thank you." Athrun replied as the waiter left. "Speaking of arrivals where are the others?" asked Athrun.

    "Hi! Sorry we're late!" said a very out-of-breath Miriallia, "Dearka got us lost again. He insisted that it was on the other side of the city."

    "Hmph. This idiot couldn't tell the difference from north and south." Sighed a disgruntled Yzak.

    "Hey. I said I was sorry. Just cause I didn't read the map right doesn't give you the right to make my life a living hell." Grunted Dearka who had turned red when Milly began to tease him.

    "Hello, have you made your decisions?" asked the waitress who had come around to take their orders.

    "So Lacus how is PLANT and your tour? I understand that you're holding the one year anniversary concert here in Orb." Asked Miriallia.

    "Yes, I am. Due to the fact that the Orb is the neutral nation and that the peace talks and the party will be here, I see that it is only correct to hold the concert here as well." Replied Lacus, her eyes sad as she remembered the day when Kira left.

    "Have you guys seen the news lately?" asked Yzak his voice unusually serious.

    "Yeah. What about it?" replied Athrun.

    "You know the mercenary group that keeps fighting all of those anti-coordinator and anti-natural groups?" asked Yzak

    "The Wings of Freedom right?" replied Athrun nodding as he turned to look at all the other people at the table.

    "They're extremely secretive. Not once have we seen their leader. All we know is that by analyzing their mobile suits is that they're highly enhanced Astray units with PS armor. The mobile suits that we have come to assume are the command units are the Strike, the Aegis, two Justices a Red Frame Astray, a Blue Frame Astray, and, of course, the leader." Whispered Yzak.

    "What about them?" snapped Cagalli who was tired of being left out of the conversation. Lacus looked up in an amused expression and then sighed because she knew this would somehow turn into a fight.

    "Look okay? This is technically more for Lacus than anyone else. Doesn't it occur to you that the fact they're named the "Wings of Freedom" and that Kira dropped out of view a year ago?" snarled Yzak.

    "Just calm down you two. It isn't such a big deal. Now what about Kira?" said Athrun after calming a fuming Cagalli.

    "I'm just saying the fool leading the Wings of Freedom could actually be Kira." Smirked Yzak who started to frown immediately after as he realized no one's attention was on him any longer. As he looked over to where the pink haired songstress sat he realized that she was now crying.

    "Smooth, Yzak, just great. Look what you just did by talking about Yamato. Seriously you need to stop being so derogative." Glared Miriallia as she tried to comfort Lacus.

    "Don't worry about me I'm quite alright" said Lacus putting on her smile and drying her tears. Why did you leave Kira? There are people that care about you here--. Lacus' thoughts were suddenly halted when her phone rang.

    Phone Call

    Manager- "Where are you? You were supposed to be here an hour ago to rehearse. We've only got a week before the concert."

    Lacus- "It's okay I'll be there in fifteen minutes all right?"

    Manager- "Fine. But don't blame me if you don't make it to the ball on time."

    Warehouse in Orb

    "Alright tonight's plan is to storm the palace and take the figureheads hostage. Understood?" asked a man whose face was hidden in the shadows. Don't worry Flay I'll avenge your death.

    "Yes Sir! For the preservation of our pure and blue world!" yelled several men.
