Hello everyone, R-0 here with a new fanfiction. More details at the end!

WARNING: THIS FIC CONTAINS INCEST! IF YOU ARE NOT A FAN OR CANNOT TOLERATE IT, THEN PLEASE STOP READING. FLAMES ABOUT WILL NOT BE ADDRESSED!

Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam SEED or its respective materials. Believe me, if I did, Miguel would have survived, KiraXCagalli would be canon (I wouldn't have written that pairing off as siblings) and grunt suits like the GINN would have had more opportunities to shine.

Chapter 1: An Extra Passenger

The Colony of Heliopolis is currently under attack by ZAFT Forces. A great majority of civilians had managed to successfully evacuate the Colony and escape to the lifepods while the Earth Alliance forces were being quickly decimated. Their Missile Trucks and TS-MA2 Moebius Mobile Armours no match for ZAFT's Mobile Suit: the ZGMF-1017 GINN. Their battleships had all been destroyed with the exception of the prototype battleship, the LCAN-01XA ArchangelThe only one who was remotely holding his own against these superior machines is Alliance Ace Mu La Flaga in his TS-MA2mod.00 Moebius Zero equipped with its GunBarrels.

Unfortunately, despite their efforts, the Alliance soldiers were unable to stop the ZAFT Invaders, comprised of Generic ZAFT Greens and Elite ZAFT Reds, from stealing three out of their five objectives: Five mobile suits built under "Project G". The mobile suits were:

The GAT-X102 Duel. Stolen by Yzak Joule.

The GAT-X103 Buster. Stolen by Dearka Elsman.

The GAT-X207 Blitz. Stolen by Nicol Amarfi.

The remaining two mobile suits, the GAT-X303 Aegis and GAT-X105 Strike, were currently being defended by the remaining Alliance soldiers from an assortment of ZAFT Greens and two ZAFT Reds by the name of Athrun Zala and Rusty Mackenzie. These soldiers were easily laying waste to the token number of Earth Alliance soldiers remaining.

Elsewhere, two young tennagers, boy and girl, were quickly retreating from the ongoing fight with much haste. The boy, named Kira Yamato, had the girl by the hand and was, for all intents and purposes, dragging the girl, still nameless, behind him. They eventually reached one of the few unused LifePod elevators.

"See? Some people have evacuated here." Kira assures the girl, giving her a reassuring smile. She does not seem to pay it any mind and seems lost in thought, a distressed and pensive expression are clear on her features. The Elevator's communicator beeps into life.

"Is there still someone out there?" A man's voice calls out.

"Yes!" Kira quickly responds, placing his finger on the intercom to answer him back, "A friend and I need to get in! Can you please let us in?" Kira queries.

"Two of you?"

"Yes!"

"We're full here." The man explains, "There are thirty-seven shelters in the left block, can't you make it there?" he asks. Kira quickly glances towards the destroyed area surrounding him as well as the firefight currently raging below him.

"Can you at least take my friend?" Kira pleads, "she's a girl!"

There is a brief pause before the man responds to Kira's request.

"All right!" He concede, "sorry!" The elevator's doors quickly slide open. Kira quickly turns towards the female.

"Please get in." He tells her. She regards him with a confused glance for a brief second before he grabs her by the shoulder and pushes her into the elevator.

"What are you?! I…" She protests and attempts to resist being placed in the elevator.

"Just get in!" Kira exclaims, "I'll go to the other side. I'll be fine. Hurr-" Immediately before he hits the button to send her to safety, he suddenly pulls her back out of the elevator and throws himself and herself, joined by the arm, back onto the large catwalk.

"Watch out!" He yells out as he crashes onto the ground with her in his arms, attempting to shield her from whatever was about to occur.

A large explosion erupted behind them right where the elevator was located, destroying the elevator as well as one of their few chances for survival…

Moments Before…

One of the defending Alliance soldiers, named Mickal, grabs hold of one of their spare bazookas, hoping to decimate the ZAFT strike squad. Unfortunately, one of the ZAFT Green soldiers manages to spot him and fires a burst of Submachine Gun bullets. They accurately hit Mickal and blood spatters everywhere as he flies backwards, already dead.

"Mickal!" Murrue Ramius yells, quickly dispatching the ZAFT Green in retaliation.

However, his corpse still has one final action to undertake as his deceased hands manage to press on the trigger enough to launch the rocket while his dead body was in the process of falling to the ground. The rocket veers away from the firefight and heads directly for the Escape Elevator. Luckily, Kira managed to notice the oncoming rocket at the last second and pull himself and the girl away from the elevator and dodge the oncoming rocket which connected with the structure, causing it to explode and rendering the elevator completely unusable.

Back to present…

Kira quickly stands back up and glances back at the ruined elevator, a solemn expression crosses his expression before he glances back to the girl lying on the floor and holds his hand out for her to take.

"Are you alright?" He asks, concern lacing his tone.

She doesn't respond for a few seconds as she still is looking at the ground before averting her attention to him. An annoyed look clear on her features. This is made apparent by the way her eyes have narrowed and eyebrows furrowed.

"Idiot!" She remarks. "You almost got me killed! You should have just left me alone and let me do what I wanted instead of chasing after me and dragging me here. Not try and save me! What, you think you're honourable or something?!" She responds harshly. Kira visibly flinches at her violent disposition and retracts his hand away from her, instead scratching the back of his head with it.

"Sorry," he apologises. "I just thought that you needed help escaping since you're not from around here."

"Yeah? Well, I can take care of myself without needing your help." She retorts.

"Yeah, but…" He looks back at her with an embarrassed smile, "it still wouldn't have been right to leave a pretty girl alone."

She looks at him, incredibly surprised, for a few seconds before she looks back down at the ground again, silent for a few moments.

"Honestly…" A few more moments of silence pass before she holds out her hand, "I'm Cagalli." Kira gives a quizzical look.

"P-pardon?" He asks.

"My name, dumbass. It's Cagalli, alright?" She explains.

"Oh…" He then regards her with a confused look. "Just Cagalli?"

"Just Cagalli." She answers. "You gonna take my hand or not?!" She asks aggressively. He quickly responds by grabbing her hand with his own.

"I'm Kira, Kira Yamato." He informs her.

"Well then, Kira…" she trails, "I guess we need to get out of here."

"I guess so," He responds, he quickly gestures towards the other end of the catwalk. "I think there are some other lifepods over the-"

The sound of an explosion interrupts him as he looks down towards the firefight again and takes in the killing and death. Cagalli does so to, however she has a much more solemn expression as she takes in the sight of the littered corpses and the completely untouched Mobile Suits, seemingly adding to how important these machines are.

Father… Why? Why did you do this?! How could you do this?! How could you just allow this to happen!

She is quickly broken out of her reverie as Kira quickly rushes to the side of the railing.

"Behind you!" He yells towards one of the defending Earth Alliance soldiers, a woman. She quickly turns around and shoots the ZAFT Green positioned on the rear catwalk, using up the last of her magazine. She looks up to her left to one of the higher platforms and takes in the sight of the boy and girl whom she had fired at earlier.

"The kids from earlier… What are they still doing here?" She is broken out of her verbal thoughts when one of her fellow soldiers is shot by a ZAFT Green. She quickly responds by dropping her rifle, pulling out her sidearm, diving to her right and shooting the soldier. She quickly gets back and directs her attention back towards the children.

"Come here!" She yells after them.

"Thank you, but I'm going to the shelters in the Left Block." He replies, "please ignore me!"

"There's nothing but a door there!" She informs him.

He regards her with a confused expression before an expression resounds from his right. Another entranceway to this sector explodes. Kira and Cagalli both fall over from the resounding shock. They both quickly get back up and unconsciously agree to head down the catwalk into the Mobile Suit bay.

"Over here!" Ramius calls out as she makes her way to the front of the Mobile Suit. Kira quickly wastes no more time and jumps over the platform and down to ground level. This surprises Ramius and Cagalli who expected him to break his legs from the height. Cagalli is not so willing to try it and instead runs over to the ladder at the end of the platform and starts to climb down.

Elsewhere, Athrun Zala and Rusty Mackenzie are the remaining two ZAFT soldiers attempting to steal the Two Mobile Suits, but are unfortunately pinned down by the Alliance soldier by the name of Hamana. Said Soldier manages to see an opening on Rusty Mackenzie and takes it, shooting the ZAFT Red directly in the head, shattering his helmet's visor and ending his life.

"Rusty!" Athrun yells in anguish at his friend's death. Enraged, he charges out of cover while firing his Submachine Gun at Hamana, successfully killing the soldier and avenging his friend's death.

"Hamana!" Ramius cries, aiming her handgun at the ZAFT Red. He is, unfortunately, too quick for her pivoting to his right and letting off a burst of rounds and successfully score a hit on her chest, causing her to fall down in pain.

Kira, out of concern for her, quickly makes his way onto the Mobile Suit to come assist her while Athrun, realising that he is out of ammo, brandishes his knife and uses his thrusters to charge after the wounded woman. It is only after Kira comes to the Ramius' side and Athrun is in range to attack her do they both completely freeze at each other's appearance.

"Athrun?"

"Kira?"

An explosion occurs that engulfs the rest of the facility in flames. Cagalli quickly detached herself from the ladder which did not have much height left and managed to get close enough to the Mobile Suits to not be harmed by the explosion. Meanwhile, the explosion does not affect Athrun or Kira as they are both still shocked at the sight of each other. Athrun lowers his knife and backs away while Kira stands back up. Ramius uses this moment of hesitation to fire her pistol in Athrun's direction, deterring him as he uses his thrusters to dash away in the direction of the neighbouring Mobile Suit. Ramius staggers up and throws Kira into the cockpit and follows suit. She is about to close the mobile suit before:

"Wait!"

Cagalli quickly clambers up on the Mobile Suit's feet and runs to the end of the machine, diving into the cockpit. Ramius quickly closes the cockpit and starts to move the Mobile Suit.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." She apologises to Ramius.

This is also true from Athrun who quickly embarked the neighbouring Mobile Suit and quickly activated it.

Both Mobile Suits began to rise from their berths as the fires engulfed the hangar. One carrying one boy while the other carries a woman, a boy and a girl.

What no one knows is that the destinies of both the boy and the girl shall be closely entwined with each other for the rest of this conflict to come…

And that was the first chapter of my new fanfic "Gundam SEED: Twin's Fate Entwined", I hope you like the premise.

For those of you who have not yet cottoned onto the premise, it is quite simple: This fic is one big "What-If" Scenario surrounding the idea of Cagalli joining the Archangel crew from the very beginning of Gundam SEED as opposed to a Quarter way through. This is NOT a re-write of the canon. Minor changes will be made to the plot, but it will not be a complete reboot of the plot. SEED's plot is decent, in my opinion. Destiny was where plot was really poor. If I was to ever do a full re-write of an existing anime, I would definitely do Destiny.

Before any ask, Cosmic Era is not my favourite universe. Universal Century is. However, Cosmic Era has a much easier platformto create fanfics from… Metaphorically speaking, of course. I am not a raging Jesus Yamato fanboy who believes him to be the greatest Gundam Hero and the Strike Freedom is the greatest mecha of all time. No, that is not me at all. I am one of those who believed that Destiny was a massive waste of potential due to incompetent directing and storytelling. It had potential that was completely wasted.

Each chapter will mostly follow each episode of the anime with minor length changes here and there. Recap episodes will be discluded, of course. I will strive to write between Three Thousand Words and Five Thousand words per chapter. This is slightly shorter than Three Thousand Words, true, but please consider that this based at the immediate end of Phase 1 so I did not have much content to work with within the very first instance.

For any curious, the pairings will be: KiraXCagalli and AthrunXLacus. Let me re-iterate that they will still be canon siblings. If you are uncomfortable with Sibling love, then you are free to not read beyond this pilot chapter. I will not stop you. I will be deal with the incest thing in a manner I believe will help justify it. I was one of those who said "dick move, Fukuda ,dick move." When they gave us the half-assed excuse for killing the pairing of KiraXCagalli with the "twin excuse." I would have accepted that as an excuse had it been effectively used as a plot point within SEED or SEED Destiny. Unfortunately, it is never done so which only leads me to the conclusion that it was a half-assed excuse for Fukuda's wifey-poo to indulge in KiraXLacus Shipping. Yes, I dislike Lacus as she is one of the most transparent Mary Sue's in history and it sucks that she dragged Kira down into Mary Sue-dom along with her.

No, the M Rating does not necessarily mean Sexual Content. My story may or may not have this aspect so do not expecting one or the other. The M rating is there because I am a paranoid bastard about what qualifies as M and what does not.

I will also be giving a greater amount of attention and credit towards the grunt mechs of the series (GINN, Strike Dagger, Astray) as I am, very much, a fan of grunt mechs and was very much annoyed by their abysmal treatment in the Cosmic Era. This is one of the reasons why I do prefer Cosmic Era as it treats its grunt mechs VERY well (Please reference Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket for details). I have also decided to include one or two Mobile Suits that did not appear in the original anime. No, there will be no silly cross-over mecha stuff going on with what Mobile Suits appear in this fic. I really do not like the practice of taking a Mobile Suit from one universe and placing them in another where they don't belong, both in Fanfiction and in canon (looking at you ZAKU Warriors, GOUF Igniteds and DOM Troopers). There will not be many Original Mecha in this fanfic. (When I say this, I don't mean original Mobile Suits. I mean Mobile Suits that appear in canon may be customised or upgrade/modified in a way that makes an original design).

I do not know how often I will be able to update this fic. I am planning to release one other new Fairy Tail fanfic then alternate between this, "A Second Chance, New Hopes Arise OG 1" and the other Fairy Tail fic. I feel like saying this now that I have placed my other Infinite Stratos FanFics on hiatus for the time being as I simply do not feel satisfied with them as fanfics and, in the future, plan to completely re-write them. I apologise if I upset any people who were fans of those fanfics, but I simply feel like starting them over again would be ideal as I could do them better now.

Anyway, that concludes my Author Notes and I hope that you will come to enjoy this little fanfic that I conjured up in the back of my demented, messed-up little head.

R-0 Out!
