Well, how about we try a coup d'etat?
Hmph. No, I'm not stupid enough to want to take over this disaster.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
I guess I figured I should do my part and join the fight after hearing about Junius Seven.
If you should kill someone's husband in battle, then his wife will despise you for that. And if you were to kill someone's son, then his mother will hate you for that as well... Because if someone were to take your life, I would hate them with all my heart.
Carrying a gun is not the only way to fight.
Athrun r-run...
[Nicol recalls his last conversation with his mother]
RARomina Amalfi
Be... be careful, Nicol.
[Last words] Mother... my piano.
[The Blitz Gundam explodes leaving Kira and Athrun aghast.]
Nicolllllllllll!
[Nicol has just been killed by Kira and Yzak is beating on his locker.]
Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! DAMN IT!
Yzak...
Why did he have to die like that? And why out here? Well?
[Athrun slams Yzak against the locker.]
Why don't you just come out and say it, Yzak? It's my fault! He died because he was trying to save me.
Athrun, stop it! You too, Yzak. Fighting each other isn't going to help one bit. And remember that the Strike is our real enemy.
I know that! Obviously! He's the one who killed Miguel. And he gave me this scar. The next time we meet, I'll get him!
[Yzak runs off with Dearka in hot pursuit.]
Yzak!
[Athrun opens Nicol's locker and some music notes fall out; he recalls some conversations he had earlier with Nicol.]
NANicol Amarfi
Oh Athrun! Thanks for coming to the concert the other day. Come on! You were sleeping. I guess I figured I should do my part and join the fight after hearing about Junius Seven.
[Athrun slams his fist against the locker.]
Damn it. It should have been me. I should have been the one to die, not him. Nicol.... it's all because I was too weak to defeat Kira in the past. It was my weakness that killed you. I'll kill him.... the next time we meet.
We're soldiers. We're not murderers. We're fighting a war! If one doesn't shoot, one gets shot!
I have to destroy you? So be it, Athrun.
How could you do it, Kira? You murdered Nicol!
Kira!
Tolle, no! Stay back!
[Tolle fires a missile at the Aegis, but it dodges the attack and smashes the Skygrasper with its shield, beheading Tolle.]
Tolle! [enters SEED Mode, damaging Aegis]
I'm gonna KILL YOU!!! [enters SEED mode as well]
There's something I have to know. Are you the one who destroyed the Strike?
It was me.
What happened to the pilot? Did he escape like you did? Eject? Or... we couldn't find Kira... anywhere. Say something!
He's gone... Because I killed him. It's true. I did it. I trapped the Strike with my Aegis and blew up. I don't see how he could have escaped. That was the only option I had left... to finish him.
Bastard!
Kira... took too many risks, didn't always know what he was doing and always cried. But he was kind. He was a nice guy!
Yeah, I know. Sounds like Kira hadn't changed a bit. He was always like that.
Did you...
He was a sentimental crybaby. And he was smart, but he never thought things through.
Did you really know Kira ?
If you were such a good friend, then why the hell would you kill him?
I don't know. I have no idea why either, okay?
Huh?
We separated as friends and the next time I saw him we were enemies!
Enemies?
I asked him to come with us, over and over! Because he was a Coordinator, can't you see? He was one of us, that's where he belonged! It wasn't right for him to be on the side of the Earth forces!
So you...
But whenever we talked, he wouldn't listen! He fought against us, even hurting friends of mine! And then he killed Nicol!
And so... that's why you did this to... your friend?
He was an enemy! He wasn't on my side anymore! I had no choice but to kill him!
You idiot!
He killed Nicol right in front of my eyes! Nicol was fifteen. He loved the piano. He only fought to protect the PLANTs and Kira killed him.
Kira only fought to protect the things he wished to protect as well. That still doesn't explain why he had to pay with his life! And in the hands of his best friend, of all people!
One guy's killed for killing another and then he's killed for killing him. How is that kind of twisted thinking ever gonna bring us peace? Well?
Bastard! You dare show your face?
I destroyed the Strike like I promised.
