Fllay's Decision

By Kuwabara99

Chapter 1: The Decision

Sometimes fate can be cruel. Once a path is set, there can be no escape from the end of that tunnel. One single decision can change the course of history. Such was the fate for Fllay Allster, who burned in a bright light of destruction as Rau cruelly destroyed the life boat she was in. Kira Yamato, the love of her life watching helplessly as she left him forever.

Was there any way this could have been avoided? Was there some point where things could have changed? The story begins at a point of time where Fllay Allster is given a decision to make. To leave the Dominion for the safety of the Archangel, or to stand her ground and fight. Over the past year, she has been through the worst kind of conditions. Losing her father, the horrors of war, being kidnapped, and the thought of losing the one she loved.

How much could one single decision change her life and the future of everyone around her? Fllay Allster pondered this as many events were taking place around her.

September 27, CE 71, Earth Alliance Warship Dominion, Bridge.

Azrael began yelling orders to a man at the weapon's consol, "Now's our chance! Fire! Hurry up and sink that thing! Aim Lohengrin!" Fllay was in total panic mode because this man had ordered to destroy the ship she had been living on the past year. Her friends were on that ship! Fllay screamed into her communicator: "No! Stop it! Archangel! Escape from there!" The communication blared into Sai's ear as he was listening in to Fllay's loud plea, but too stunned to answer back.

Azrael heard the young girl at the communication array screaming words of betrayal as he gave his orders to blow the Archangel to pieces. " How dare you bitch! Whats wrong with you?" *Azrael backslaps her* Fllay was in seething pain as he smacked her across the bridge and off the viewscreen. Azrael was so mad, he aimed his gun at her and began firing, but not before the captain, Natarle grabbed at the gun and forced him to miss many shots. Natarle began yelling at him, "What are you doing?" Azrael screamed back at her, "What the hell are you doing? Natartle was tied up with him in mid air while holding the gun back as she gave the order, "All hands, abandon ship!"

As soon as Natarle gave this order, the officers on the bridge soon began leaving their post. Azrael was in total disbelief. "Badgiruel! You Bastards!" Fllay had just recovered from her stunned and injured demeanor and just stood there in stunned silence. Seeing this, Natarle yelled at her, "Hurry! Get to the Archangel!" Fllay, hearing these words gasped and showed a look of shock. Natarle then gave a reassuring nod that it would be ok to leave. This was the moment when Fllay gave a concerned look to Natarle and pondered the order in her mind. "I'm so confused...what shall I do? Shall I leave and hope I make it to the Archangel while the battle rages on? Or should I do something to help the captain? What would Kira do in this situation? Wait...Kira...he...he would'nt back down from a fight if it meant protecting the ones he loved. I need to do something!"

Authors Notes: My first attempt at fanfiction. Took forever to start writing on it. After seeing Gundam Seed, I've thought many scenarios that could have happened to change things. This seems best I think compared to the other situations in where Fllay could have been saved. I plan to do longer chapters after this one. Anyway, please read and review. I look forward to the comments.
