Check-mate

Author's Note: Well this is my first GS fandom. This is just something I thought of, and I thought that the game of chess describes this quite well. I think that I want this in a view from Athrun, but it could really come from any one of the Coordinators

Disclamer: I don't own Gundam Seed or the game of Chess.

Chess.

It's quite an interesting game. A simple game of war, is what it is. It has eight pawns on both sides of the board. With the pawns protecting the royalty, which are the King and Queen of course, then the bishops, the knights, and the rooks. The pawns are the front line, before the enemy can get through, they have to get through the pawns. The pawns are also the first ones to be deployed. Pawns are disposable. Disposable and high in numbers. When one gets taken down, another takes it's place. Pawns always have to go forward, unless they are threatened. They go on command, and never look back, always protecting.

That's exactly what we are, isn't it? We are just pawns in this war of black and white between Coordinators and Naturals. We are pawns protecting those who are more important than us. We are always on the front line, never looking back, only going forward. Never questing orders, knowing that we're dispensable.

But then what happens when all the pawns are taken down?

It's Check-mate
