997 Savior, attack! (4000 words)
The dark gray steel giant with cold edges and angular lines stood silently under the spotlight, as if it was sleeping, and it seemed that it did not care about the two little humans looking at it in front of it.
"Gundam?" Aslan, who followed Dyrandal into this huge Gnaku, saw the steel giant standing there.
"Yeah." Dyrandal nodded, stopped his body floating forward, and slowly landed on the steel floor, saying with a hint of self-deprecating smile: "Savior. Its name is Savior."
After Dyrandal said his name, he turned around and looked at Aslan who was standing upright, and smiled mockingly: "Before Junius 7, I had been full of expectations for it, so I gave it the name of the Savior. However, the Savior is not it now, and the horn-breaking machine that pushed Junius away from the earth's gravitational circle and saved humanity from the desperate situation of world destruction. Although we are not very clear about its name, it can indeed be named Savior."
"Speaker, do you want to change the name of this Gundam?" Aslan looked away from the dark gray body and landed on Dyrandal's face.
Dylandal shook his head slightly and said loudly: "No. The savior is the savior. The hope carried by this body is not eliminated by the impact of Junius. On the contrary, I would expect it to open up a path of peace for us PLANT in the future."
Aslan, who listened to Dyrandal slowly speaking his view of the savior Gundam, did not speak, but listened to Dyrandal's story silently. In his opinion, the Gundam in front of him might be driven by him.
"Aslan. If it were you, would you be the pilot of the Savior Gundam?"
Sure enough, after some telling, Dylandal finally revealed his purpose.
"Why? If it's only limited to participating in the joint fleet, I don't need such an advanced body." Aslan asked his question.
As expected, Dyrandal had expected Aslan's questions.
"Because it is power! Aslan, whether it is the past, present, or future, the factor that can achieve peace is only power. Without the guarantee of power, peace is just a slogan."
Dylandal turned his head and looked at the savior Gundam and said openly: "Although the Earth United, Aubu, and our PLANT agreement formed a joint fleet to pursue the wreckage left by the Junius impact. But we are not very clear about the situation there. The only thing we know is that there is only one angle cracker."
As soon as he heard the last words, a sharp light flashed in Aslan's eyes.
"Speaker! Is this mission to grab the angle cracker?"
Dylandal shook his head again and continued in a helpless tone: "We don't have that idea. However, we cannot guarantee whether others will have the idea of taking the angle splitter for themselves. Believe me! Aslan. We PLANT wants to create a new force that can benefit mankind based on the mysterious power displayed by the angle splitter. For this reason, as the Speaker of the PLANT, I solemnly put forward the request to the Joint Fleet to invite DDSD to join the investigation activities to study the impact of Junius."
"What?" Aslan was stunned for a moment, but it quickly calmed down. After all, based on the time he spent with everyone in DDSD over the past few years, the old men standing at the forefront of science and technology would definitely be interested in the impact of Junius. Especially the beautiful and dignified female science Leni.
Looking at Aslan, sincere apology appeared on Dyrandal's face.
"Aslan. If you want to hate me, just hate me! However, all members of the PLANT highest ratings in PLANT really want to unveil the mystery of the impact of Junius, so as to guide mankind into a new world of peace. I hope Aslan Sara can think clearly."
After saying that, Dirandal stepped forward and patted Aslan on the shoulder, then left first, leaving only Aslan stood silently, watching the savior Gorda silently.
Aslan, who was in deep thought, did not know when he left Gnaku, and even didn't know how long he had been standing on the side of the road. It was not until his close friend Nigol pulled him back from his contemplation that Aslan realized that he had already left Gnaku and stood on the side of the road.
"Come on! Aslan, thanks to you today, I got a day off. Do you want to go?" Nigol, who had put on a casual outfit, exuded the unique elegant temperament of a musician. After he smiled and patted the seat of the passenger seat, he asked Aslan for invitation.
Aslan raised his eyebrows, then smiled and said, "It just so happens that I have a place to go."
The wind and lightning are running all the way.
Amid the conversation between the two of them, the sports car driven by Nigol soon drove into a special place with a quiet environment - the cemetery.
Not long after, although he hadn't been here for many years, Aslan still followed the road in his memory to three tombstones that were placed together.
"Patrick Sarah."
"Renoah Sarah."
besides···
Aslan's eyes stopped for a moment on the two tombstones representing their parents, and then moved to the tombstone on the right side of his mother's tombstone.
"Alico Sarah."
Seeing this name, Aslan squatted silently, quietly looked at the tombstone in front of him, and unconsciously touched his right hand to his left wrist and rubbed it gently. There, a necklace with a rose pendant was rubbing the thumb of his right hand slowly moving left and right.
Nigol, who was standing aside, stepped back a little, leaving more space for Aslan, who had never returned for several years, giving him more space and time to communicate with his long-lost relatives.
I don't know how long it has passed.
As a breeze rose, Aslan finally stood up again, turned his head and looked at his parents' tombstone for a while, then turned around and looked at his close friend Nigol nodded thanking:
"Nigol, thank you."
Nigol knew that Aslan was thanking him and waved his hand indifferently. "You're welcome. After all, it's your fault, which makes me worry about whether to come and meet your uncle and the others every year."
Aslan had an apology smile on his face, and when he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Nigol, who felt keen.
"If you are a friend, don't apologize."
Aslan laughed out loud, stepped forward and patted Nigol on the shoulder hard, thanking him from the heart: "Thank you! Nigol."
"Bastard!" Nigol immediately laughed and scolded. "Don't apologize if you said it! Don't thank you!"
After some fight, the two left the cemetery and drove on the road again.
Facing the breeze, Nigol asked straight in and out: "Aslan, have you decided?"
"Yeah. I've decided!" Aslan's eyes were deep, and his right hand subconsciously stroked the rose pendant wrapped around his left wrist.
Nigol, who knew that Aslan had made up his mind, stopped talking and drove along the highway in a sports car, sending Aslan to the hotel where Aslan was arranged to stay. Although reasonably, Aslan, as the heir of the Sara family, should return to his home. However, due to some troublesome regulations, Aslan could only deal with the hotel for one night, and he himself did not care about it.
The sports car slowly stopped at the entrance of the hotel. Before Aslan got out of the car, Nigol suddenly smiled mysteriously.
"Aslan, I wish you a wonderful night!"
"Eh?" Aslan, who was unknown, had no idea what Nigor was talking about. When he wanted to ask clearly, Nigor had already started the sports car and ran away.
result,
As Nigol said, the night was wonderful, so wonderful that Aslan couldn't believe whether the woman in front of him was true or false.
After a brief shock, based on the long-term experience of getting along, Aslan finally determined that the woman in front of her was just a phantom, a wonderful phantom given to that name.
"Aslan. Do you think... do I look like Lord Lux?" The girl with long pink hair slightly darker than that person, the same beautiful face, but has a significantly different personality, and behavioral behavior, was enthusiastically asking Aslan about the man's past.
That's true!
After all, her identity on PLANT is still her, Lax Klein's fiancé. Even after the Liberty Gundam robbery incident was exposed, both parents had no intention of abolishing the engagement, but just maintained the form of the engagement. Now, this legacy issue is finally in front of Aslan.
"Aslan?" The face that was exactly the same as Lux Klein was looking at Aslan with anticipation, confusion, and a hint of admiration.
"Oh. No." Aslan shook his head, sighed secretly, and said something against his will. "Well, although there are slight differences, it is already very similar to Lux."
"Is that?" The girl immediately became happy, and then patted her palms happily twice, and suddenly woke up and shouted. "Ah! By the way! I haven't introduced myself yet. Aslan, my name is Mia Mia Campbell."
"Mia?" Aslan murmured the girl's real name, then raised her head, looked at the girl with sharp eyes flashing, and asked, "Mia. Why do you want to be Lux?"
"Why?" The girl put down the knife and fork in her hand, stretched out her finger and pointed her chin. After thinking silently for a while, she said softly: "Actually, at first I just liked Lord Lux's singing. But one day, someone said that the Speaker came to see me and said that it was necessary for my strength. So, I became Lux."
Aslan, who listened silently, unconsciously tightened the force of his right hand, suddenly raised a height and smashed the tabletop suddenly.
The sudden sound scared the girl who was chattering about the past, and also made the black copycat Harrow on the table scream.
Aslan raised his left hand and waved his hand. After comforting the girl, he took a quick deep breath, reluctantly smiled, and said as gentle as possible: "Mia. Sorry. I'm tired. I'll make up for you next time if I have the chance."
After saying that, Aslan did not continue to pay attention to the girl and left the table with a gloomy face.
The night quietly left.
Aslan, who came to the Speaker's office again, saw Mia standing aside at first sight, the girl with the same face as Lax Klein, and Dyrandal, who was standing at the desk with a calm expression, waiting for Aslan's arrival.
"Sorry, Aslan. I need strength." As the opening remark, Dyrandal put Mia's affairs in front of Aslan without hesitation.
"Can you make someone pretend to be her for this?" Aslan asked with a sharp look, looking straight to Dyrandal's heart.
"Yes! What I said. Whether it is the international situation or PLANT, my strength is only barely stabilized by a small part. For me now, her strength is necessary. Since the two former speakers, she is the only one who can stabilize the situation in PLANT."
"You should be very clear about this, Aslan."
Dyrandal slowed down, with a firm face, and stood in front of Aslan fearlessly, and said frankly: "Aslan. I said yesterday. If you want to hate me, hate me as much as you want! This is the price paid to achieve long-term peace."
Facing such a frank and open-minded Dyrandal, Aslan was unable to speak for a moment.
After a long time, Aslan finally told the decision he had already made.
"Thank you! Aslan Sara." After getting the answer he wanted, Dyrandal gave a wink at Mia who was standing beside him. Mia immediately took out a ZAFT red uniform that had been prepared from the table next to her.
"Put it up! Aslan. Thank you for everything you did for PLANT." Looking at Aslan, who had changed into a red military uniform with Mia's help, Dyrandal took out a small box from the drawer of his desk and handed it to Aslan.
"Aslan. I sincerely hope that you and the Savior Gundam will lead PLANT on the road of peace under the guidance of this badge."
“FAITH.”
Aslan's heart rippled in the eyes of the badge lying quietly in the box.
It was not until he ascended the Savior Gundam and prepared to set off to meet with the Minerva in the predestined universe.
Through monitoring, accompanied by Mia, Dirandal, who was watching the savior Gundam's departure throughout the entire process, seemed not as open as standing in front of Aslan. Under the flashing light of the screen, Dirandal's face gradually changed with the change of thoughts.
"Oracle Gundam..."
Dyrandal did not tell Aslan about his own experience of Junius's impact. After all, at that time, he discovered from the radar of the Voltaire that the oracle Gundam, which should have been damaged, appeared, and the confirmation of the lightning sent back afterwards.
he,
Come back.
Return from hell.
and,
He knew exactly what Dirandal wanted to implement.
"Aslan Sara. Fate, can I bet on you the fate I hope for?" Dirandal asked secretly in his heart as the pipelines kept falling off the savior. However, there was no way to know the answer.
Aslan, who knew nothing about Dyrandal's mind changes at this time, after following the final communication with CIC, he increased the horsepower of the Savior Gundam.
"Savior Gundam, Asra Sara, attack!!"
