Marina Ismail and Setsuna F. Seiei

We got some trouble when we're descending but it wasn't much.

We descended in an island in the middle of vast ocean.

Unexpectedly there's a small house made of unknown materials built exquisitely right in the center of the land.

There's also a pool, man made river, vegetables and flowers farm.

Landing on the beach , we're packing up our things to get down from the ship.

Andrew said we're gonna live here for a few days and meeting his old friends.

Of course i didn't forget to tell Gundam System to charge all the Gundams and the ship.

Also i forgot to tell that Sheath was a Trades of all Terrains . Land, air ,space ,water, underground, dark or cramped terrain can be passed by it.

By the way, 4 young man had decided to continue working with me. As for the soldier only three people that stayed because their main Earth wasn't ESF Earth or Cosmic Earth.

For three people i could get from nine was the best that i could ask. There's also a problem with three people that were on the health capsules. While Christy's sister , Liz Bright Michelle need at least a two days to recover completely and start rehabilitation .

There's also 1 elite soldier apart from Christy that stayed. His name Fang Lin, 17 years old with high potential. He said that he is a new generation and on one of successful coordinator. He ran from the facilities and wanted to get a good job somewhere and living peacefully. But his attempt at Red Orbit was being disrupted by Red Orbit Base that was searching for talented pilots available.

He was touched by the rules that Sheath made ( Arkaus made) everytime everyone setting out. He's also one of the last batch of people that joining.

All in all Sheath got 10 members from the first journey until now.

I'm going down with the others in three Electric Solar Van that I've made along with Prototype A.I. .

One of it can fit 8 people but for convenience, we used three . So each ESV has 4 people at least. but that's only my plan.

Right now , I'm using the Van with Fang and Zero. While the three young man and three soldiers on it. The third Van being driven by Kaga , and it's member were Lacus, Shiina, Marika, and Christy. The female soldier didn't stay here because she's going to look at her boyfriend in ESF base.

The battle space ship and us separating when we're already entered the atmosphere .

It didn't matter if they'll report us to ESF.

ESF didn't have that much time to deal with us after all. Not to mention the show off time that they'll remember for the rest of their life....

Huh? it's like a villains line ? whatever just let it be. I'm not Main Characters like Kira, Setsuna after all and don't mention Mikazuki.

I won't sacrifice my self that way at all.

I'll find a way to get to the best ending that i could.

we got off the Sheath and following Andrew and his other members afterwards.

It's looked like Kaga and Andrew talked about something along the way.

I didn't really care about it , but i could guess it . I guess that it's along the topics like how are they at Sheath , and whatever things on Sheath . Anyways as they didn't learn that much classified information , i didn't care.

When we've arrived at a farm that wasn't far from the small house and pond, We're being told to got down and walked there.

Even when i insisted for the soldiers to follow us , they adamantly refused.

Only Zero, Fang, Akai, Bourbon , Sien that went along with me aside from the girls group that certainly will follow us inside.

There's kids playing here and there.

A man was there in the middle of kids and beside him was a old woman on a wheelchair.

" Hey! Setsuna , how are you guys doing? "

Andrew who approaching was waving his hand widely and all smiles.

While Setsuna was smiling gently as he looked back.

" We're doing well, thanks to your medicines and slowing Cell's Regression. "

" Hahaha... Glad to hear that. Hmmm....."

" Just stay... I know what you wanted to say. "

" It seems what you've said about ELS enemies have become true. "

" At first i also didn't believe it. But It seemed they're someone behind all this. "

" Yes, i agree. That's why i visited Red Orbit Base. "

* COUGH cough* Arkaus loudly coughing fit as he wanted to interrupt the conversation.

" Who are you? " Setsuna looked wary.

" Andrew , who is this? "

Andrew sighed and looked towards Arkaus then looked back at Setsuna.

" It's a long story to finished under this sunlight. "

" Well..... let's speak inside. " Setsuna a bit hesitant but agreed so he let them in.

While the girls stayed back to look after Marina , of course it was because Marika stayed first. She greeted Marina before and took over Setsuna who taking care of her.

She also greeted Setsuna who only nod and focused. on Andrew and me.

By the way , Sheath didn't need anyone to stand guard , so everyone has gone with me and won't affect anything at all.

After all I've got my confidence in Sheath for detecting any signs of enemy and warn me about it. I also already made the protocol if that kind of situations might happen.

As people had said, Great results is from great effort, And too cautious never hurts.

Of course i didn't expecting everything going on my way. So i always prepared a trump card behind another trump card. Even if they won't be used , it's better to prepare after all.

We've reached and entered the house.

It wasn't that big but it's large.

there's many chairs and long table.

" Please sit wherever you'd like. " Setsuna said while sitting first.

" Thanks. " I politely replied .

Andrew just sat down directly.

while the other sitting more a far from us.

Anyway from my side was Fang and Zero.

while on the other side still didn't intend to introduce themselves.

" Well, let's get to the main point. Tell me the story. "

" Of course, After several days I've been in the vicinity of Red Orbit Base , an uncountable to me. At Least more than 90.000 celestial beasts , anyway that's the official name.

By your definition they're Artificial made ELS that they controlled to gain an upper hand from the rest of Tri-Earth. Unsurprisingly ,this projects being supported by several small factions from Tri-Earth. It's still a mystery why did these little factions can be so brave and ambitious. "

" The barriers that should have many kind of set up should have been able to hold them at least a month. But instead in just several hours the barriers have a holes. We've decided to gather and escape as fast as we can. As we're gathering , unexpectedly we met with ASA Transport types. So along the way we acted as their guardian. And as more than a thousand AELS ( celestial beasts) heading on our way. I warned the two ASA about the incoming enemies. I asked about immediate retreat but they suggested to split retreats.

They're holding back the lines as a border . We escaped under the barrage and chase of many AELS ( celestial beasts), and as we arrived at Moon Earth Orbit.........."

( Omitted)

...............

" ....... Then we're descending together after we waited for Arkaus ( While pointing at Arkaus who in front of him) that was holding the Roc celestial beasts behemoth class. "

" We separated with the battlespaceship and Continue on our own way to this place of yours. I really didn't want to breach our agreement before, but as I've said. We're being rejected by Cosmic Earth Federation. "

" Anyway , we're full 13 hours away from Moon Orbit base but he managed to survived against it alone. Because i won't expect that Moon Orbit Base Army would be able or even wanted to hold beings like that. It was a large Roc..... "

" ..... We can only look from a far at that beams and that speed that Gundam of his had shown . Anyway that's the sum of it. Anything else that i didn't said must be unimportant or maybe i just forget about it."

A typical of Andrew way to speak after become old has become an antics that Setsuna has to endure for every certai period.

Setsuna face didn't show much during the whole story but Arkaus noticed the little bit ripples on his movements.

' Hmm... you would be surprised and more scared if you know that there's two of them. '

As they've talked for a long while , i spoke to Zero and Fang to relish my boredom.

I also talked to the people from Andrew's side.

I sipped on the Tri-flower tea that i brought from Sheath. For your information , i brought this from previous world . This was made by my experiments on combining three kinds of tea leaves of different ages and places .

I share some with the people that i talked with except Setsuna , Andrew and the others thay didn't i talked with or they won't speak even if i asked.

I look back at Setsuna.

"Now that you know a bit of who i am, I've got a offer that will interest you. "

he just looked silently so i took that as tacit admittance.

" I can heal your body or regress back Marina Ismail's body to when she was 29 years old. "

He looked surprised and intently looking at my way. Maybe he thought me as an idiot or my offer just a nonsense. So....

" I'm serious about this. I can only do this once , so choose wisely. This is very Expensive and burdening to me so i need something as a payments or remuneration. "

And as expected his emotions showed at this very moment.

He stared at me pitifully. At least that what i see. but also gratefully. It seems like a hope has ignited in his heart. Burdened and regrets also lifted from his self.

All in all it's very complex emotions that i can't describe.

It took a several minutes for him to calm down . Everyone has been evacuated ( Kicked out ) by Andrew except us . He also wanted to get out but i hold him back because this need some help from him too. So now, it's just us three inside the house.

Setsuna who regained his self stated.

.......To be continued.
