He put his sunglasses down on the nearby night stand as he began to recall the events up to now.
Well the last thing I remember before the coma was fighting in space, against the FRE Faction. The Iness Hell was badly damaged, and I had fallen to close to Earth's gravity well. The thrusters wouldn't engage, and I knew if I tried to bail out that I'd still be pulled downward, and there would be no way that I could survive.
It was still a slim chance that I would survive in an old Gundam that was near totalled, but like I said, I didn't have much choice. As I fell through the atmosphere, the climate controls tried to adjust to the increasing heat, but it didn't help much. I tried to ventilate as much of the suit as I could. I came through the clouds as a glowing red streak. I prepared myself for a crash landing, seeing a large field in the distance. I wasn't sure if I could make it, but it was better then crashing into one of the farm houses that were scattered about.
I remember hearing the suit slam into the ground, but then everything went black.
Kiyoshi paused for a moment, letting that sit in.
When I came to, I was in a hospital. I learned that I had been in a coma for about a year. The family that owned the farm, that I crashed the Iness Hell into, learned who I was. The FRE wanted me tried for war crimes, and probably would have sentenced me to death. So, they hid me away as their son in a hospital.
He closed his eyes as he continued to speak.
I quickly realized that the world had left me behind. To everyone, I was dead. I was able to find out what happened to almost everyone I cared about. There were two exceptions, though that's been cleared up recently.
Opening his eyes, he looked at Phire and smiled.
I bought the identity of a former OZ ace pilot named Ethan Teir. The FRE were still a dangerous bunch, and I saw no reason to announce that the rumors of my own death were greatly exaggerated. I decided that as Ethan Teir, I could begin a search for the main person I wanted to find. However, I had to find away to make some money.
I really didn't want to be a soldier anymore. That didn't mean that I didn't want to still pilot a mobile suit. Einhardt R&D needed skilled pilots to test their new mobile weapons. I joined up with them, and using their resources continued my search, but day after day...I kept coming up with nothing. I didn't really give up, but I had run out of leads.
Kiyoshi looked away for a moment.
I was bitter and upset with myself, but no one around me knew it. I found it easy to hide all of these feelings away by playing the part of Leutinant Ethan Teir, test pilot. Soon the identity grew more, and I figured the part of me that was Kiyoshi Kazami would have faded away, just like it seemed to me it had in real life. I was afraid of that. I didn't want to lose that part of me cause I was afraid that would mean...well...that I would lose my memories of you. I made sure that whenever I launched, I had an old picture that had everyone from the Pegasus on it, including you and me. I kept it either in my shirt pocket, or I'd put it in the cockpit so I could see it. Actually...it's still in my shirt...and I don't know where my shirt is, so I hope I haven't lost it.
But, anyway, after about two more years of living on the Einhard R&D base, we were scheduled to recieve the Deathscythe X, that Kaden had used. A man, who I believe is...a super soldier, just like me, and claims to be my brother, stole it and began attack the base. He killed the captain of a group known as the Advent Emblem, and it was up to me to stop him. He fled after we fought for awhile, and then Karaudu, the new leader of the Advent Emblem, asked me to join his forces so we could hunt down the super soldiers. Anubis, that was his name, claimed that there was more.
Before we could leave for space though, the FRE planned to attack with a large solar cannon. I launched with my Gundam using a large booster, and made my final strike on the FRE Faction. I destroyed their cannon, Lord Winson apparantly committed suicide, and then I joined back up with some friends and we left the scene. I then decided to come back to Earth, and I found Anubis about to attack your ship. I think...I think that brings us up to date...
He looked back at Phire and smiled slightly.
Sorry...I talked too much...what about you? What have you been up to these last three years?
