Thank you to TFD who reviewed!
Anyway, to the story, our chariot awaits!
Phase 2: Dawn's Fading
Everyone had a great game of Battle of the Sexes and had finished by the time Yzak got there. He said it was like hell in the office. They woke up the kids and went to the park. Shiho kept glancing at Yzak the whole time, as if to make sure he was alright.
Flashback
Yzak stopped the car infront of a small apartment block. He went up the stairs and pulled out a key that would open room 218. The key clicked in the lock and he opened the door.
"Hello Mother" he called out into the darkness. A light turned on and a woman who was in her late forties could be seen lying on the couch.
"Yzak, son, what have you got to tell me?" Ezalia called, though her voice was croaky.
"Blue Cosmos has reformed mother. They are out to get me. They want to start a war again. I don't know what to do!" Yzak started to sob drearily. His mother got up and placed a hand on her son's shoulder.
"It's okay. They won't get you. But you will need help. How about you ask that girl for help? She could help you" Ezalia cooed over her only child.
"You mean Shiho?" Yzak asked, stunned that his mother would ask such a thing. His mother hated Shiho.
"No, not that girl. The other one, that Cecilia girl, or that Geherin girl, or that Bella girl, hmm? They would help you" Ezalia said cooly.
"Mother, her name is Bella-Cecilia Geherin, they is one person. She would fight Blue Csmos, especially the Azreal Faction, but I am not sure we should drag her into this. I don't want to see her hurt. She is just a girl after all" Yzak really tried to plead with his mother.
"No, you will ask her, and she will help. She is a singer, so her ideals will get a cross. She is a good fighter, ne? She is a pacifist mostly and fights when necessary, ne? She would be perfect!" Ezalia had made a good plan again.
"I don't want to use anyone!" Yzak yelled. He didn't want to have to use the innocent to protect himself.
"Then, you will be hunted and caught my boy. Do you want to die, or live?" Ezalia chuckled slightly, a sinister smile on her face.
"I am sorry I came to see you mother, I am sorry I disturbed you. I am leaving!" Yzak stormed out of the dorr and locked it again. Bella wouldn't want to be used, and he wouldn't be the one to do it.

As they all arrived at the park Yzak immediately went over to the lake. Sakura petals were scattered all over the lake. Sort of like it was when he met Bella on that fateful Tanabata night.
Flashback
Yzak was walking over to grass on Tanabata night. He was only seven at the time. He was holding his wish, trying to get someone to hang it on one of the Sakura trees. He was about to come out of the foresty part of the park over to the lake, but another child was already there.
"Here you go Mrs. Ducky, you can go home now" the girl cooed to the duck.
"Who are you?" Yzak asked politely, as his mother had taught him.
"I am Bella-Cecilia Geherin. Nice to meet you" the girl said, still not turning around. Instead she dropped what she was carrying in her dress onto the lake's surface.
"Sakura hanabira!" she stated happily as she turned around to face Yzak. Yzka though she looked rather pretty in her green silk kimono.
"I-I am Yzak Jou-Joule" Yzak stuttered, mentally kicking himself for stuttering.
"Wanna be friends?" Bella had asked, inncently.
"I don't make friends with girls, but I can make an exception" Yzak smiled. A new friend
"Cool! Hey Yzak-chan can I sing you a song?" Bella asked.
"Sure Yzak smiled even bigger.
"Okay. Nee kiokoe masuka? (can you hear me?)
Sora wa, hate shinaku aoku sunde ite. (the sky must be limitless and blue)
Umi wa, kagiri naku koudai de ite. (the sea must be vast and endless)
Kimi wa, itsumademo egao de ite. (Please just keep on smiling)
Janaito, nai chau kara. (Or else I will begin to cry)
Mawariwo mimasu naku temo, mou iindayo. (There is no need to looka round anymore)
Kono te no naka ni wa minna ga, iru kara. (for everyone is here, in these hands)
Nakitaku natte, nigetaku natte. (wanting to cry, wanting to run)
Shiawase o wasurete shimattara. (if you ever forget your happiness
Minna utae. (everyone sing)
Hikari ga umare, yami ga umareta. (first light was born, then darkness was born)
Futatsu wo hitotsu. (the two are one)
HARUMONIA (harmonia)
TEREPASHII (telepathy)
Nee kikoe masuka? (can you hear me?)" Bella's song finished and Yzak clapped.
"You should become a singer one day!" Yzak exclaimed.
End Flashback
And she did. Bella became a singer. But now it was time to enjoy the flowers. Everyone else was watching Yzak sit down beside the lake.
"Is there something wrong with him?" Cagalli asked.
"Jeez, I hope not!" Shiho laughed, but inside she was worried too.
Yzak was just sitting there admiring the water. The moon shined on it in such a way that it looked like the lake was flourescent. You could practically see the bottom. Every petal that sunk, you could se falling deeper and deeper into the water. It was so pretty that it was sad.

Yzak knew it was late, but he had to go. He and Shiho were the last ones there. He had just wanted to remember something, and being in the same place that it happened would help.
Flashback
Bella had her feet in the water and was sitting on the edge of the lake. She was seven and it had been a year since she met her best friend, Yzak-chan. he was waiting for him to turn up at Tanabata night, so she decided to pray and wish.
"I pray that the world doesn't continue to fight with itself, I pray that mommy and daddy are okay, I pray that Yzak-chan is okay and that he gets here soon" Yzak heard her praying.
"I am fine and right here" stated the eight year old.
"Yzak-chan!" Bella got up and hugged her best friend.
"You believe in God?" Yzak pointed to the sky to symbolize heaven.
"Yes, in a time of need all you can do is hope that there is something better. God is my salvation. He is what those who have nothing can believe in. I am a Catholic" Bella said.
"I want to believe in Him, but I can't. My mother won't let me" Yzak looked at the floor. He had prayed a few times and wanted to believe more than ever.
"Well, you know when you come over on Sundays? How about you come a few hoyurs earlier and you can got to church, you can even join God's family there and recieve him!" Bella was excited, so was Yzak. And so Yzak went and believed.
End Flashback
Yzak had believed, and still tried to. Yzak got on his hands and knees and did the sign of the cross. Then he prayed out loud in a whisper.
"Pray for my family, that they are fine, for my friends that they are well, for the dead that they are happy in heaven with You, for Shiho that she stays safe, for Bella that she is happy and for me, Lord, so that I can solve this without starting a war." Yzak didn't know Shiho was standing behind him. 'Something is going on here, I must tell the others. Poor Yzak, I didn't even know he believed in Religion and that he prayed. Oh well, I'd best leave him' Shiho though as she went back to her car to go home. 'Yzak will come when he is ready'.
Yzak got up from his knees. He felt better, but still Bella was on his mind. He had to see her. IT was going to make him use her. Yzak hoped it didn't have to be done, but it might have to. 'This will be the sadest visit I've made to her yet' Yzak thought bitterly as he trudged towards his car.
