Archangel.

In the hangar, when Kira appeared in her driving suit, Mu spoke as if she was teasing him. "Did you finally figure it out when you look at how you dressed like this?"

Kira pouted and replied awkwardly. "The captain 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."

"Aren't we the same?" Mu responded: "No one in the world will like meaningless battles. It's a pity that you can't protect people without fighting, so you have to fight."

Kira looked at the person in front of him again. So that's what it was, he thought. He thought that the soldier was out of reach with him, but now it seems that his basic mood is the same.

"Laoya level is close to 90 behind!"

"Captain, the time is almost here. I'm going to go out!"

"Yes, please trouble you."

The messages conveyed on the bridge and the conversation between Mu and Maliu flowed in from the communication line.

"I have also explained the plan to my little brother." The combat plan, Mu's proposal. Since he will be caught up sooner or later, he will simply take advantage of the enemy's attack on the Archangel in the open, Mu secretly drove the "zero" in front of him and attacked the Nasca-class enemy ship in front of him. "The key to this plan is to grasp the timing, so please give me the rest!"

"I understand. Please be careful."

After finishing the communication with the bridge, Mu also spoke to Kira. "I'm leaving, little brother. Anyway, you just need to think about taking care of this ship and yourself."

"Ah, yes! Captain. Be careful!"

On the screen, Mu smiled gracefully and then cut off the communication. "Mu La Frada, go out! - Don't sink the ship before I come back!"

The "Zero" fuselage sank and left the ship as if it was falling. Kira watched him in the cockpit, and said to herself: "...can it be successful?"

Before Mu fully approaches the enemy ship, he must buy him enough time; during this period, Kira must keep the Archangel.

Can it be done? Kira couldn't help feeling a lot of pressure. At this time, a familiar voice jumped in from the communication machine. "Kira."

“Miliaria?”

Milialia, wearing headphones and microphones, looks serious on the screen.

"I will be responsible for the combat control of MS and MA in the future. Please take care of it." After that sentence, she blinked shyly, but was scolded by Jackie behind her, "I want to say 'Please give me more advice!'" Kira couldn't help laughing, and her nervous mood finally explained a little.

The hanging components of the bridge crane are installed on the back of the body. It seems to have wings growing, this set of equipment has four sets of fine-tuned rocket propellers, which can greatly improve the maneuverability of the attack up to the universe or the atmosphere. In addition, the weapons are lightsabers and 57mm beam rifles stored on both shoulders.

While installing, Kira confirmed that the wing had been unfolded in a cross shape. Then he let the attack Gundam move forward and in place the catapult.

"The engine starts! Fire the main gun at the same time! The target is the NASCAR class in front!"

While Mary issued the order, the low roar of the engine also increased. The 225cm two-component high-energy closing fire cannon was lifted from both sides.

"Main gun fire!" The muzzle released a dazzling light.

The gate slowly opened, and opposite was a sea of ​​stars flashing constantly. It seemed that the illusion that was about to be sucked in, and the horror of the previous battles all emerged, and the hand holding the joystick naturally trembled. Kira closed her eyes tightly. However, in the darkness after closing her eyes, her partner's face appeared.

I'm not a single person. Kira opened her eyes and looked ahead firmly. "Kira, Yamato! Attack Gundam and attack!"

The catapult ejected Gundam. The stretched, tight charging cable rebounded after it pulled off the body; the rapid impact of Jin Kira's face also twisted. But at the next moment, he was thrown into the void.

"Phase transfer armor is activated, the weapon control lock is released." The iron gray armor appeared in red, blue and white. Kira began to look for the enemy's traces on the screen and radar.

Dalida on the bridge had already caught the enemy's shadow one step earlier. "There are three heat sources close behind! The distance is 67! It's MS!"

Natal's voice sounded. "Prepare for MS battle! Missile launch tubes 13 to 24 fill the Corinthian missile! The Bariant cannons on both sides are activated! Enter the target data as soon as possible!"

Mixed in the regular soldier group, Thor and others also focused on the console with serious expressions.

Just as the battle preparations were in full swing, Dalida, who was responsible for analyzing enemy aircraft information, gasped. "The model has been confirmed, this is! It is X series, X102, X103, X207!"

"What?!" The crew members were all stunned for a moment, only Maru's dry voice murmured. "Did they put all the G they grabbed onto the front?"

The sound of enemy planes approaching also sounded in the cockpit of the attack on Gundam. Kira activated the thruster and raised the beam to revive the rifle. The bright red body was approaching, and it was the ASUS.

"Aslan?" The two machines approached at high speed and passed by at a distance of slight difference.

"Kira!" As they were getting to know each other, Aslan's voice came into the loudspeaker. "Stop! We are not enemies! Are we right!"

Kira suddenly realized. Yes, this battle had nothing to do with him. Long before that, he and Aslan were friends. What reason did they have to fight against each other?

"Why do you, who are also adjusters, have to fight with us?" Aslan's words and sentences pierced into Kira's heart, and Kira's own confusion once again cried into his heart. "Why are you in the Earth Army camp? Why do you want to help natural people?"

"I'm not an Earth Army!" Kira retorted without hesitation. "It's just that there are my companions and my friends on the ship!"

While Kira was negotiating with Aslan, the Archangel was beaten very miserably by three Gundams. Seeing this situation, Kira was preparing to rescue the Archangel. But...

He was stopped by Aslan. "No!"

"Aslan!" Anxiety was urging, blocked by Aslan and unable to launch an attack. Kira's anger that had nowhere to go had to burst out. "You are, why are you in Zaft? Haven't you said that you hate war the most?"

Kira's shout was struck by a beam of lightning. Another new MS rushed between Kira and Aslan in a flash. The two of them suddenly realized that they avoided the attack with the adjuster's unique reflex nerve.

"What are you rushing around? Aslan!" Yizhak's communication came in.

Kira looked at the other party's body data and was so surprised that she couldn't help but hold her breath. "X102 Duel Gundam? Then, this is also..."

It is one of the X series that was taken away, Duel Gundam. It has the most standard specifications among the five machines, and is equipped with lightsabers on both sides. The weapons in the hand can be used to use 175mm howitzer tubes and 57mm beams to rifle. These are the basic equipment that is common to the Struggle Gundam.

In the Kaohsiung defense battle, Yizhak was bullied miserably by Zheng Shuanglong. Gene was driving several times and turned into a human stick. However, this does not mean that Yizhak's level is poor. It's all the elite in red. There is still no problem bullying Kira who has just come into contact with MS.

"If you can't handle it, let me do it! Retreat!" Yizhak, who forced Kira's attack Gundam to breathlessness, shouted at Aslan.

Kira was bullied by Yitzhak, and the Archangel was not easy. The Storm Gundam driven by Diaka and Thunder Gundam driven by Nigor were almost sank.

If the Archangel hadn't used composite armor, it would have probably been blown up. This era was the era of MS. In the present where intercontinental missiles could not be used, warships were just props to support MS.

"Reflective beam explodes and launches! Balkan guns, don't let MS approach this ship! The air-to-air missile is set to be automatically launched!"

As soon as the blast broke out, it immediately exploded into fine particles and spread out. Sixteen 75mm air Vulcan turret Balkan cannons located on both sides automatically tracked two MSs. A barrage was shot, and the air defense missiles at the back of the bridge were also launched one after another.

Storm Gundam used its 94mm high energy beam beam to revive the rifle. The reflective beam detonator particles dispersed its power, but a small part of them penetrated and hit the side. The whole ship shaking rapidly due to the impact. The pure white armor suddenly turned red and became white and hot. Thor and others on the bridge couldn't help but scream.

Immediately afterwards, Thunder Gundam went around the bottom of the warship, and the Balkan guns at that point were fully opened. At this time, Maliu shouted, "Use Gottfried! The whole ship took a left-hand corner of 30, and the left-hand rudder 20!"

In order to make the muzzle go down, the warship flipped rapidly. The gravity area where the refugees were located was also affected, and people with unstable center of gravity cried out one after another.

"It's true, can you still let someone rest." Zheng Shuanglong, who was holding Athena in the dormitory, felt the vibration of the Archangel, opened his eyes, and added a barrier again. Then, the vibration never affected the dormitory surrounded by the barrier again. Zheng Shuanglong happily kissed Liliana beside him, squinted his eyes, and fell asleep again.

【Hope, it will be a little more interesting.】

The Archangel, which had a slightly thicker skin, struggled to defend under the attacks of two Gundams. However, the powerful attack Gundam that could be rescued was forced to go crazy by Yitzhak's duel. Just avoiding the beams of light shots made Kira overwhelmed.

"Damn it!" Kira, who had been dodging and defending all the time, finally couldn't help but pull the sight in front of him. He raised the beam and revive the rifle, aimed and pulled the trigger.

But how could I hit? Itzhak is not Kira, a rookie who has just come into contact with MS. Gundam easily dodged the duel.

The initial hesitation about launching an attack gradually turned into anxiety and fear, and no matter how he did, he could not hit the enemy plane. Under the influence of fear and anxiety, Kira's powerful attack Gundam's rifle kept firing wildly, but in the blink of an eye, the duel Gundam was approaching.

Hands-to-hand combat is Gundam’s method of deciding victory or defeat.

"Wow!" Kira raised her reflective shield to block the attack in desperation.

The two aircraft collided and separated again. The attack Gundam, who did not want the enemy to approach and fired rifles, and the duel Gundam, who attempted to approach the enemy plane to decide the outcome, unknowingly approached the Archangel during the battle. The Storm Gundam, who suffered from the failure of attack, noticed them and immediately turned the body over as if he had discovered prey. It put a 350mm shelling tube equipped on its right shoulder on its waist and fired a cannon at the attack Gundam.

Dealing with Duel Gundam had already made Kira use all his energy, plus Storm Gundam. How could this be withstand? He had to deal with two opponents at once, and he could not help but lose sight of the other. In the universe without any distinction between up, down, left and right, Kira could no longer tell which side he was heading, and who he was taking as an opponent. He only knew to follow the quasi-centered shooting, trying his best to dodge the light beams that were shot at him; the energy table in front of him was decreasing one by one, and the indicator had approached the red domain, and he could not notice it.

Perhaps. After a while, the Archangel will be hit by Gundam. Fortunately, Mu's plan has been successful.

Kruze, who was on the bridge, suddenly raised his head. A special feeling seemed to rush up along his skin. This feeling that was so familiar that it was impossible to be familiar was forcing him to awaken the tremor of hatred and pleasure deep in his heart.

"Addis! The engine department will make the effort to maximize. Lower the bow of the ship! The angle of descent is 60!" An order jumped out of Kruze for no reason.

Atis looked at Kruze in a clue. No wonder that feeling was impossible to convey. However, Atis's slow reaction only made Kruze feel extremely anxious.

When he said this, the controller screamed in surprise. "There is a close heat source at the bottom of this ship. It's MA!"

"Drink ahhhh!" Mu roared violently and rushed towards the Visalis with maximum acceleration. Seeing the engine of Visalis suddenly rise, the thruster also began to eject. However, it was too late. The Zero lightly flashed through the enemy ship's automatic defense device and extended the wire-controlled gun barrel. The goal was to a huge turbine department that was still increasing its power. Mu continuously fired guns and bet on all the firepower.

The engine department passed by. Seeing it spraying fire, Mu excitedly raised his arms and shouted: "Okay!"

At the same time, the zero-type speed passed through the top of Visalis without decreasing. A steel cable was shot out. After the anchor hook pierced into the outer wall of Visalis, the inertia effect made the zero-type fuselage change direction like a pendulum. Mu then took advantage of the opportunity to cut off the steel cable and quickly left the universe.

The bridge of Visalis was shaking violently, and the alarm sounded loudly.

"The turbine area is severely damaged! Thrust is reduced!"

"The fifth sodium wall is damaged! A fire occurs! Damage control, and the compartment is blocked!"

The crew members' wailing voices conveyed the situation of the warship one after another. "The enemy MA escaped!"

"Captain Frada sent laser communication! 'The battle was successful and he was about to return to the ship'!" The Archangel's ship was filled with joy. Thor and others couldn't help but look at each other, feeling relieved.

Maru's clenched fists had just relaxed and immediately straightened his back. "You can't miss the opportunity! Attack the NASCAR level ahead!"

"Received! Lohengrin No. 1 and No. 2, ready to launch!" "The positive electron tank is filled to the critical value, and the muzzle cluster ring potential is stable!"

"Flash!" During Natal's order, the special-installed gun Lohengrin ejected a fire, with an overwhelming firepower.

The vortex of the Yang electron penetrated through the universe, hitting the starboard side of Visalis, who had been severely damaged and still tried hard to avoid action. The shrill impact swept the ship. At this point, Visalis had completely lost its combat ability and had to leave the front line.

The signal of retreat came out from the warships on both sides.

"Returning to the ship? I think beautifully!" Yizhak was still stalking against Gundam. He might want to shoot down this MS at least before retreating, otherwise it would be a complete failure.

Although he had been beaten up by Zheng Shuanglong, Yizhak still couldn't accept such a battle, such a battle that was defeated by natural persons.

"Izhak! Go down and retreat order!" Aslan dissuaded, but he turned a deaf ear. Tiago seemed unwilling to leave the battle. It was obviously a battle with an advantage. How could he accept such a battle without achieving any results?

At the mercy of two X series, Gundam was unable to get close to the Archangel at all.
