Gundam SEED’s Final Destination

Didi——

The sound of the electromagnetic door sensor sounded.

Kira, who had completely recovered, walked into the ward with excitement.

The white ward is surrounded by flower baskets with blessings——

Sunlight illuminates the ward through the large windows.

As the breeze blew, her long bright red hair danced in the sunshine.

"Fry."

Looking at the girl bathed in the sun, Kira had a smile on his face, and the big stone hanging in his heart also fell.

"Kira."

Fleur heard the sound and slowly turned around to look in the direction of the sound. Looking at Kira who was slowly approaching, Fleur had a sincere smile on her face.

Unknowingly, Kira has become the anchor in her heart and her solid backing.

"sorry."

Seeing the smile on Fleur's face, Kira looked lonely and expressed the guilt in his heart with difficulty: "I failed to keep my promise to protect you."

‘To protect something with everything you have to do’, this was the reason why Kira set out on the battlefield, and the reason why he pulled the trigger amidst the hail of bullets.

But when I was in the Thirteenth Jungle, I broke my promise.

"It was just an accident."

Fleur shook her head and smiled. After experiencing so many things, she was no longer the unruly and willful young lady she once was.

She became empathetic to other people's difficulties and able to look at problems from different perspectives.

Perhaps her way of looking at problems and her thoughts are still a bit immature.

Kira didn't speak, didn't give any guarantee.

Because he knows very well that the power of words is pale, and the so-called oaths are just nice-sounding words.

"Kira, can you stop guarding me -"

At this moment, Fleur suddenly asked Kira with a smile.

"What?"

Kira was slightly shaken and stood there in a daze, looking at Fleur in astonishment.

"I'm not worthy of all your efforts to protect me."

As she spoke, Fleur turned her head to look at the scorching sun outside the window and said, "You have power, and you have the power to change and influence the world. You should not be limited to the narrow scope of protecting me."

Fleur looked at the guilt on Kira's face, and couldn't help but recall the conversation with Hills Sadie last night in her mind.

‘What exactly do you want? ’

‘Is it true peace, or is this identity that symbolizes peace? ’

‘Your philosophy determines the direction of Kira’s actions, so what exactly do you want? ’

Originally, she was still a little confused as to why Hills Sadie was telling her this.

But seeing the guilt on Kira's face, Fleur suddenly seemed to understand what she meant.

Fleur turned her back to the sun and smiled at Kira: "The person you are protecting should not be me as Frey Elster, but Frey Alster who works hard for peace."

"What you should really protect is peace, justice, and the beautiful future and definition of mankind, not a specific person or thing."

"So, go ahead and become a knight who protects justice and peace. Don't let my presence restrict your steps. The title of Princess Knight is not suitable for you."

"At least in my eyes, a knight guarding justice and peace is more suitable for you."

After Fleur said these words, she suddenly felt relieved.

Kira's power should not exist for herself, but should work for peace.

The acting during this period made her exhausted and uneasy, especially when she looked at those who were in pain because of the war, the uneasiness and guilt became more intense.

Now, it's time for this to end.

Whether it is a flag or a tool, if it can bring peace, what does it matter if it becomes a flag or tool that leads to peace?

At least I can stand in front of the world with a clear conscience, I can hold my head high and accept all the glory, and I can stand side by side with Kira with my chest straightened out.

"Fure..."

Looking at Fleur bathing in the sun, Kira froze on the spot.

This was the first time he heard Fleur say such words.

"So, are you willing to fight for peace and justice? Not because of me, but for the peace and justice of mankind."

Fleur asked with a smile.

In fact, Fleur herself didn't know what she was pursuing.

Is it the halo and glory that comes with being a messenger of peace, or is it moving forward for the peace of mankind——

But no matter what she pursues, she always yearns for peace and hates war.

So she couldn't restrain Kira with such half-hearted ideas, which would make her conscience uneasy.

"I see."

Kira opened her mouth and suddenly laughed.

My doubts about the future also became clearer at this moment.

In fact, all he needs is a reason to convince himself, a reason to convince himself to step onto the battlefield and pull the trigger.

And now, I may have found it.

The next day——

An MS shuttle left the port in East Asia and flew in the direction of Orb.

"A knight who protects justice and peace - if this is your wish, then I am willing to fulfill it for you."

Recalling Fleur's smile, Kira showed a trace of determination on her face.

He wants to gain his own power, even if its existence is not recognized by the current world.

————

"This is really a troublesome option——"

In the East Asia United Hospital, Hills Sadie looked at the information in his hand and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

My sister is really worrying.

"How long will it take for the Main Angel to be repaired?"

Hills Sadie put down the report in his hand and looked up at Kate Matikan opposite.

"That's pretty much the last time."

Kate Madikan thought for a moment and replied.

"Is this so——"

Hearing this, Hils Sadie turned her head and looked at the sky outside the window. Her sister finally came to her senses. Coupled with Fleur's choice——

"It seems I have to talk to the pink princess, but this situation is really a headache-"

Hills murmured, with an excited smile on his face.

Only this kind of future will not make people feel bored, right?

Akatsuki Island——

Kira's arrival made the originally somewhat deserted Akatsuki Island lively.

"Kira!"

Cagalli also dropped her work and rushed over, just to meet her good brother.

Because she arrived in such a hurry, Cagalli didn't even change her clothes and was still wearing Chief Orb's uniform.

"Cagalli, Aslan."

Looking at the two people who came together, Kira showed a smile on his face.

The best friend and his sister come together. This should be the best ending.

"You guys are finally willing to come back. I thought you had forgotten us!"

After Cagalli walked in, the excitement on her face gradually turned into unkindness. She punched Kira and said viciously.

But her twinkling eyes proved that she was not at peace inside.

"Something happened recently."

Kira rubbed her chest and didn't explain much.

"We've heard about the incident. No matter what, it's fine."

Mr. Mu patted Kira on the shoulder and looked at the boy who was almost as tall as him without realizing it, with a complicated mood.

He also set foot on the battlefield at a young age, so he knew the psychological trauma it would bring to a young man.

"Um."

Kira listened to the concern in Mr. Mu's words, smiled and nodded.

Mr. Mu's influence on Kira is second only to Lux, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was Kira's former life mentor.

Thinking of this, Kira couldn't help but look at the long-haired girl not far away.

Her long, light and soft pink hair falls on her shoulders, her blue-purple eyes are smiling, her pink skirt floats like waves, and she has a smile that makes everyone who sees it feel happy——

"Lux, long time no see."

Looking at Lux's face, Kira's mood was mixed.

In the Thirteenth Jungle, after the East Asian reinforcements arrived on the battlefield, Lux returned to Orb with the seriously injured Noel and the Grass Pheasant.

So the two did not meet at that time.

"Long time no see Kira, I've been working hard on you lately."

Lux smiled, without any sense of alienation, as gentle as ever.

The pleasantries were short-lived.

Under the leadership of everyone, Kira once again returned to the manor he had been away from.

Amidst the laughter and laughter, the night gradually fell.

"How's Noel doing?"

In the courtyard, Kira looked at Noel who was lying on the bed not far away with complicated eyes.

As well as a table, stool and books placed next to the bed.

Suddenly, Kira felt as if something had left her forever.

But when the girl bathing in the sun flashed in my mind, the complicated feelings became less clear.

"If nothing else happens, Noel should wake up soon."

Lux said pointedly.

Kira's arrival made Lux guess something.

"Is that so?"

Kira was speechless for a moment. He didn't know if it was his misunderstanding. For the first time, he felt a sense of dissonance in the conversation with Lux.

"Kira, how long do you plan to stay when you come here this time?"

Lux didn't feel much about this, but she was still keenly aware of the strange expression on Kira's face, so she lost interest in continuing to chat.

Cagalli and Aslan both looked over after hearing this.

"If possible, I hope to go back tomorrow."

Kira is not a person who likes to hesitate, at least when he makes a decision, he will work hard to move in that direction.

This is something Aslan cannot compare to.

"tomorrow?"

"So fast?"

Aslan and Cagalli were both stunned. They thought Kira could stay for a few more days.

After all, they haven't seen each other since they last left.

"Well, actually I came here this time hoping to borrow something from Lux."

Kira subconsciously looked at Lux as she spoke.

Although the decision had been made, Kira still felt a little embarrassed when it came time to say it shamelessly.

"It is your power, and you are welcome to use it again at any time."

Lux smiled knowingly.

The first time she learned that Kira was back, Lux roughly guessed his purpose.

Freedom Gundam——

As for stopping it, she said when Kira left that if Kira wanted, he could come back at any time to take away his power.

So Lux will not stop it, and there is no reason to stop it.

At least she won't stop it when it comes to the Freedom Gundam.

"What's the meaning?"

Cagalli looked at the two of them confused, what kind of power? What's the meaning?

Aslan seemed to have guessed something, with a solemn look on his face.

"Thanks."

Kira didn't say much, this was Lux, always so considerate.

"If it's convenient, could you tell me what you plan to use it for?"

Lux continued to ask.

This question is very important to Lux, and also to the world.

Kira's answer determines whether there will be waves in the future ideas of both parties.

"To implement the ideas in my heart."

When Kira said this, she suddenly thought of Fleur's words in her mind, and couldn't help but smile: "Someone told me that the title of princess's knight is not suitable for me. I should become a knight who protects justice and peace."

"Do you want to protect justice and peace? It really suits you."

Lux couldn't help laughing when she heard this.

At the same time, the uneasiness in my heart also disappeared a lot at this moment.

She didn't know what Fleur and Hills Satie's ultimate goal was.

But no matter what it is, when they give Kira the concept of fighting with the title of "Guardian of Justice and Peace", it doesn't matter what their ultimate goal is.

Justice, peace——

This is the fundamental source of the ideas pursued by Kleinists.

Once the goal is achieved, all processes become less important.

Because when they take actions that go against the concepts of justice and peace, Kira will not continue to help them.

Kira, who has experienced war, longs for peace, and Lux ​​is convinced of this.

"Thanks."

Kira smiled.

Lux didn't stop her, and neither did Athrun and Cagalli.

Surrounded by everyone, Freedom Gundam once again welcomed its owner.

Under the complicated eyes of Aslan and others, the Freedom Gundam boarded the MS transport plane belonging to the East Asia Alliance.

"Protecting justice and peace..."

Aslan watched the transport plane disappear into the sky for a long time.

Kira fights to protect justice and peace, but what about herself——

What should I fight for——

Thinking of this, Aslan looked at Cagalli subconsciously.

"What's wrong?"

Cagalli felt uncomfortable when Aslan saw her. She touched her cheek in panic and said, "Is there something on my face?"

Aslan smiled and shook his head without saying anything more.

"??"

Cagalli————

On November 3, CE72, the Thirteenth Jungle War continued to rage.

The endless melee between the three parties attracted the attention of most people.

And it was on this night.

An armed rebellion broke out in a city located in the eastern part of the Eurasian Federation, near the northern shores of the Black Sea and the Sea of ​​Azov.

Because most of the Eurasian Federation troops were transferred to the front line, the rebellion lasted for five full days before Xiali was quelled.

On the morning of November 8, CE72.

The Main Angel completed its final maintenance tests and officially entered the water and set sail from the East Asia port.

It was also at noon on this day.

"Please turn off the lights -"

A feeble sound slowly sounded in the glass room.
