Archangel number. In the hangar, when Kira appeared in pilot uniform, Mu spoke as if he was teasing him. "Looking at you dressed like this, have you finally figured it out?" Kira pursed her lips and answered with some embarrassment. "The captain has said that we are the only ones who can protect this ship now. Of course I still don't want to fight, but I want to protect this ship. Because everyone is on it." "Why don't we?" Mu responded : "No one in the world likes a meaningless battle. It's a pity that if you don't fight, you can't protect people, so you have to fight." Kira looked at the person in front of him again. So that¡¯s it, he thought. I thought that there was a distance between the soldiers and myself, but now it seems that the basic feelings are the same. "The Laura class is approaching the rear 90!" "Captain, the time is almost up. We are about to dispatch!" "Yes, I'm sorry to trouble you." The message transmitted on the bridge, as well as the conversation between Mu and Malu, flowed from the communication line Let it out. "I also explained the plan to my little brother." Combat plan, Mu's proposal. Since he was going to be overtaken sooner or later, he might as well take advantage of the enemy attack to focus on the Archangel in the open, and Mu secretly drove the Zero forward and hit the Nazca-class enemy ship ahead. "The key to this plan is timing. The rest is up to you!" "I understand. Please be careful." After ending the communication with the bridge, Mu Ye spoke to Kira. "I'm leaving, little brother. Anyway, you just need to take care of the ship and yourself." "Ah, yes! Captain. You should be more careful!" On the screen, Mu smiled handsomely. Then the communication was cut off. "Mu. La. Falada, move out! - Don't sink the ship before I come back!" The fuselage of the "Zero" sank and left the ship as if it was falling. Kira watched him in the cockpit and said to himself: "can it succeed?" Before Mu can fully approach the enemy ship, he must buy enough time; during this period, Kira must Just hold on to the Archangel. Can it be done? Kira couldn't help but feel great pressure. At this time, a familiar voice jumped in from the communication machine. "Kira." "Milialia?" Mirialia, who put on the headset and microphone, looked serious on the screen. "From now on, I will be responsible for combat control of MS and MA. Please take care of me." He finished the last sentence. She even blinked and smiled shyly, only to be scolded by Jackie behind her, saying, "Please give me your advice!" Kira couldn't help but laugh, and her nervousness was finally relieved a little. The hanging components of the bridge crane are installed on the back of the body. Like growing wings, this set of equipment has four sets of fine-tuned rocket thrusters, which can greatly improve the Strike Gundam's maneuverability in space or the atmosphere. The other weapons are the lightsaber and 57mm beam rifle stored on the shoulders. While installing it, Kira confirmed that the wings had been deployed in a cross shape. Then let the Strike Gundam move forward and get in position on the catapult. "Start the engine! Fire the main cannon at the same time! The target is the Nazca class ahead!" As Maru gave the order, the low roar of the engine also increased. Two 225cm high-energy beam cannons are raised from both sides. "The main gun fires!" The muzzle released a dazzling light. The gate slowly opened, and on the opposite side was a sea of ??stars that was constantly flashing gravel. The illusion of being sucked in and the fear of the previous battles all came together, and the hand holding the joystick naturally trembled. Kira closed her eyes tightly. However. After closing his eyes, in the darkness, his partner's face appeared. I am not alone. Kira opened her eyes and looked ahead firmly. "Kira Yamato! Strike Gundam, attack!" The catapult ejected the Gundam. The stretched, tight charging cable rebounded after being torn from the body; Imakira's face was distorted by the sudden momentum. But in the next moment. He has been thrown into the void. "The phase transfer armor is activated and the weapon control lock is released." The iron-gray armor appears in red, blue and white. Kira began looking for signs of enemies on the screen and radar. Dalida on the bridge had already caught the enemy's silhouette earlier. "There are three heat sources approaching from behind! The distance is 67! It's MS!" Natal's voice sounded. "Prepare for mobile suit battle! Missile tubes 13 to 24 are loaded with Corinthian missiles! Activate the Baliant cannons on both sides! Enter the target data as soon as possible!" Among the regular soldiers, Thor and others also focused on control with serious expressions. On stage. While preparations for the battle were in full swing, Dalida, who was responsible for analyzing enemy aircraft intelligence, took a breath. "Model model"??Confirm, this is it! It¡¯s X series, X102, X103, X207! " "What? ! "The crew members were all stunned for a moment, and only Malu's dry voice murmured. "Did they put all the G they grabbed into the battle line? " A warning sound of approaching enemy aircraft also sounded in the cockpit of Strike Gundam. Kira started the thruster and raised the beam rifle. The bright red body was approaching, it was the Aegis Gundam. "Aslan? "The two planes approached at high speed and passed each other by a hair's breadth. "Kira! "When they had the opportunity, Aslan's voice came from the loudspeaker. "Stop! We are not enemies! right! " Kira suddenly realized. Yes, this battle has nothing to do with him. Long before that, he and Aslan were friends. What reason do they have to fight against each other? "They are also adjusters. Why do you have to fight us? "Every word Aslan said pierced Kira's heart, and Kira's own confusion came over her again. "Why are you in the Earth Army camp? Why help natural persons? " "I am not the Earth Army! Kira retorted without thinking. "It's just that there are my companions and my friends on that ship!" " When Kira was negotiating with Aslan, the Archangel was beaten miserably by three Gundams. Seeing this situation, Kira prepared to rescue the Archangel. But was stopped by Aslan. ."don't want! " " Aslan! "Anxiety is urging, being blocked by Aslan and unable to launch an attack. Kira's anger that has nowhere to go can only burst out. "You are the one, why are you in ZAFT! Didn¡¯t you yourself say that you hate war the most? " Kira's shout was interrupted by a beam of light. Another new type of MS rushed into the space between Kira and Aslan at lightning speed. The two were suddenly awakened and used the unique reflexes of the adjuster to dodge. Fired this blow ¡°What are you dawdling about? Aslan! "Yitzhak's communication came in. Kira looked at the opponent's body data and was so surprised that he couldn't help but hold his breath. "X102 Duel Gundam? Then, this is also" It is one of the X series that was taken away, the Duel Gundam. The blue and white two-tone body has the most standard specifications among the five machines, and the shoulders are equipped with lightsabers. The weapon in the hand is a 175mm that can be used together The howitzer tube and 57mm beam rifle are the basic equipment in common with the Strike Gundam. During the Kaohsiung Defense War, Yitzhak was bullied miserably by Zheng Shuanglong, and the pilot Jean turned into a human stick several times. However, , this does not mean that Yizhak's level is poor, after all, they are all elites in red. There is no problem in bullying a Kira who has just come into contact with MS. "If you can't handle it, just let me do it!" Back off! "Yizhak, who forced the Strike Gundam driven by Kira out of breath, shouted to Aslan. "Kira was bullied to death by Yitzhak, and the Archangel was also having a hard time, and was bullied by Dia. The Storm Gundam driven by Ka and the Thunder Gundam driven by Nigel were almost sinking. If the Archangel hadn't used composite armor, it would have been destroyed long ago. Now that intercontinental missiles cannot be used, battleships are nothing more than props used to support mobile suits. "Reverse beam mine launch! Balkan gun, don't let MS get close to this ship! The anti-air missile is set to launch automatically! " As soon as the thunder exploded, it immediately exploded into fine particles and scattered. The sixteen 75mm anti-aircraft Vulcan cannon turret Balkan guns on both sides automatically tracked the two mobile suits. A barrage was fired, and the ones at the rear of the bridge Air defense missiles were also launched one after another. The Storm Gundam used its 94mm high-energy beam beam rifle to disperse its power, but a small part still penetrated and hit the side, causing the entire ship to suffer from the impact. It shook rapidly. The pure white armor suddenly turned red and white-hot. Thor and others on the bridge couldn't help but scream. Then the Thunder Gundam circled to the bottom of the battleship, where the Balkan gun muzzle was fully opened. Then Malu shouted, "Use Gottfried!" The entire ship adopts a left-hand rotation angle of 30 degrees and a left-turn rudder of 20 degrees! " In order to turn the muzzle downward, the battleship made a sharp turn. The gravity zone where the refugees were located was also affected, and the people whose center of gravity was unstable screamed in grief. "Really, we can't let anyone rest. "Zheng Shuanglong, who was resting with Athena in his dormitory, felt the vibration of the Archangel. He opened his eyes and added a barrier again. Then, the vibration no longer affected the room surrounded by the barrier. Dormitory. Zheng Shuanglong kissed Liliana happily, closed his eyes, and fell asleep again. "I hope it will be a little more interesting." Under the attack of the Gundam, it struggled to defend, but the Strike Gundam that was able to rescue was driven crazy by Yitzhak's Duel Gundam.Just dodging the successive beams of light was enough to make Kira overwhelmed. "Damn it!" Kira, who had been dodging and defending, finally couldn't help but pull the sight in front of his eyes. He raised his beam rifle, took aim, and pulled the trigger. But how could he hit it? Yitzhak was not Kira, a rookie who had just come into contact with MS, but Duel Gundam easily dodged it. The initial hesitation to launch an attack gradually turned into anxiety and fear of not being able to hit the enemy plane no matter what. Affected by fear and anxiety, the rifle of the Strike Gundam driven by Kira kept firing wildly, but in the blink of an eye, the Duel Gundam was approaching. Hand-to-hand combat is Gundam¡¯s decisive method. "Wow!" Kira was in a hurry and raised the reflective shield to block the blow. The two planes collided and then separated. The Assault Gundam, which didn't want the enemy to get close, fired its rifles continuously, and the Duel Gundam, who tried to get close to the enemy aircraft to decide the outcome. The two unknowingly approached the Archangel during the fight. The Storm Gundam, which was struggling to attack, noticed them and immediately turned the machine around as if it had discovered prey. It carries the 350mm artillery tube equipped on the right shoulder on its waist. Fire at the Strike Gundam. To deal with the Duel Gundam, Kira had already used all his energy, plus the Storm Gundam. How can you bear this? You have to deal with two opponents at the same time, and you will inevitably lose sight of one. In the cosmic space where there is no distinction between up, down, left and right, Kira has long been unable to tell which side he is facing or who is his opponent. He only knows to follow the target and shoot, trying his best to dodge the beams directed at him; the energy in front of him The watch was falling one by one, and the indicator was approaching the red zone, but he failed to notice it. Maybe. After a while, the Archangel and Strike Gundam will be shot down. Fortunately, Mu's plan has been successful. Cruze, who was on the bridge, suddenly raised his head. A peculiar feeling seemed to be running up along his skin. This feeling was so familiar that he was not familiar with it, and it was forcing him to awaken the trembling of hatred and pleasure deep in his heart. "Addis! Maximize the output of the engine department. Lower the bow! Depression angle 60!" An order jumped out of Cruze's mouth for no reason. Addis looked at Cruze confused. No wonder. That feeling is impossible to convey. However, Addis's slow reaction for just a moment made Cruze feel extremely anxious and impatient. Soon after, the controller screamed in surprise. "There is a heat source approaching at the bottom of this ship. It's MA!" "Drink ah ah ah!" Mu roared violently, rushing towards the Vesalis at maximum acceleration. Seeing the sound of the Vesalis's engine suddenly increased, the propellers also began to spray. But it was too late. The Zero gently dodged the enemy ship's automatic defense device and extended its wire-controlled gun barrel. The target is the huge turbine section which is still increasing power. Mu fired the sexual cannon continuously, putting all his firepower into it. The engine department passed before my eyes. Seeing it spit out fire, Mu raised his arms excitedly and shouted: "Wow!" At the same time, the Zero passed through the top of Vesalis without losing speed. Shoots a steel cable. After the anchor hook penetrated the outer wall of Vesalis, the inertia caused the Zero's fuselage to change direction like a pendulum. Mu then took advantage of the situation and cut off the steel cable, quickly leaving the space. The bridge of Vesalis shook violently and sirens blared. "The engine area is seriously damaged! Thrust is reduced!" "The fifth sodium wall is damaged! Fire broke out! Damage control, compartments are blocked!" The crew's wailing voice continuously conveyed the status of the battleship. "The enemy MA has escaped!" "Captain Vlada sent a laser communication! 'The battle is successful, we are about to return to the ship'!" The ship's ship of the Archangel burst into cheers. Thor and others couldn't help but look at each other and felt relieved. Ma Liu¡¯s clenched fists just relaxed, and she immediately straightened her waist. "Don't miss this opportunity! Attack the Nazca class ahead!" "Roger! Lohengrin No. 1 and No. 2, prepare to launch!" "The positron tank is filled to a critical value, and the muzzle cluster ring potential is stable!" "Launch!" in At Natal's command, the special cannon Lohengrin sprayed out fire. Extremely overwhelming firepower. The whirlpool of positrons penetrated the universe and hit the starboard side of Vesalis, which had been severely damaged but still managed to take evasive action. A terrible impact swept through the ship. At this point, Vesalis has completely lost its fighting ability and has no choice but to leave the battle line. The signal to retreat came from the warships on both sides. "Return signal? What a beautiful idea!" Yitzhak was still pestering Strike Gundam. Maybe they wanted to at least shoot down this mobile suit before retreating, otherwise it would be a total failure. Although he had been beaten miserably by Zheng Shuanglong, Yitzhak still couldn't accept such a battle.Such a battle lost to natural man. "Yitzhak! The retreat order has been issued!" Aslan tried to dissuade him, but he turned a deaf ear. Brother Thiago seemed unwilling to break away from the battle. It was obviously a battle with advantages. How could he accept such a battle without achieving some results? Being dominated by two X-series, the Strike Gundam was unable to get close to the Archangel. "Kira!" Mirialia raised her voice uneasily when she saw this situation. "Cover him!" Malu said. "It's too difficult in this kind of combat situation!" Natal replied. The quick shifting and interlacing of these MSs are really difficult to master. If you intervene rashly, you will hit the friendly aircraft. "I'm worried about the remaining energy of Strike Gundam." Natal's voice was filled with anxiety. At the same time, this situation was also transmitted to Mu of Type Zero through laser communication. "'Can't go back'? Tsk! That idiot!" Kira, who almost died in the hands of Yitzhak, finally survived with the help of Aslan and Mu's rescue, and returned to the Archangel alive. Team Cruze, waiting room, Aslan was thrown against the wall. "You guy, how dare you!" Yitzhak's upright face twisted in anger, and he grabbed Aslan's chest. "If you hadn't done such unnecessary things at that time!" "Thanks to you for ignoring the order, I would be so embarrassed now." Diaka, who was leaning against the wall of the locker room, also said half-sarcastically. Aslan didn't say a word in reply, he just looked away. Just when Yitzhak wanted to question him further, the door opened. Nigel came in and stopped him as soon as he saw this scene. "What are you doing! Please stop, don't be in a place like this!" "We were all four together! It's not solved yet! Such humiliation!" "Then it won't help if you blame him here, right?" Despite appearances, Gentle, Nigel remains unmoved by Yitzhak's anger. Yitzhak glared at Aslan again, then shook him off and left the locker room. Diaka also followed out. When they were the only ones left in the room, Nicol looked at Aslan hesitantly. "AslanI don't think that's your style, but" Aslan turned away. "Let me calm down for a moment, okayNigel" Avoiding the worried look on the other person's face, Aslan walked out of the locker room dejectedly. Floating on the corridor, his expression suddenly became angry, and he punched the wall hard. "Kira" This is the name of a friend who was once within reach, but only one step away from him. Aslan thought that if he could be persuaded, they could be together again. They were compatriots, and he had always believed that as long as he reasoned with him, he would definitely understand Thinking of what he had promised to Kruse, a despair that made the blood in his body froze came over him. Kira, do I really have to fire on you? Archangel. When Mu walked out of the hangar, the Strike Gundam that had returned to the ship had not yet opened the gate. Sergeant Madek was shouting inside. Mu asked in confusion: "What's wrong?" When he walked to the side and asked, Madek turned his head in confusion. "No, that kid refused to come down" "Oops." Mu had already guessed the general situation, so he went over to operate the external lock and forcefully opened the gate. Kira¡¯s hands were still holding the joystick tightly, and her whole body was stiff in her seat. Mu leaned halfway through the hatch and leaned next to him. "Hey, what are you doing, okay! Kira Yamato!" Kira's whole body shook as soon as he called his name. There was a sound in his throat, as if he just remembered to breathe, gasping for air. Suddenly, Mu felt that this young man was so pitiful. For Kira, this was almost his first time in battle. Most recruits are like this, because it is not uncommon to vomit or become incontinent due to excessive fear, and it is even more remarkable to come back alive. However, because of Kira's superior abilities, they almost forgot that this young man was not even old enough and had not received any training. He was simply a layman who was suddenly thrown into actual combat. Kira¡¯s eyes were still looking blankly ahead, and Mu looked directly into his eyes. "It's over, little brother." He pulled the ten fingers apart one by one as if they were glued to the joystick, and then tapped Kira's helmet. "Well done" Kira blinked. The body that was stiff with fear began to move. Mu showed a father-like smile and said: "You and I are not dead, and the battleship is safe. Isn't that great?" "Ah" Until this moment, Kira began to tremble violently.Mu patted his shoulder gently. In his mind, the boy at this moment was just like every ordinary recruit he had seen so far, just a young and easily injured existence.
