In the sky, Cruze's [Sigur] and Mu's [Mobius Zero] were fighting inextricably, but the [Wired Pods] had been destroyed and the Zero could only rely on fixed directions.
The battle between the linear cannon and the intact [Xigu] was almost doomed to defeat.
"Huh? Is that the one?"
Entering the interior of [Heliopolis], both Cruze and Mu immediately noticed the Strike Gundam that was changing its equipment.
[Sigur] went straight towards the Strike Gundam, with [Mobius Zero] hot on his heels, firing linear cannons continuously, not giving [Sigur] a chance to attack the ground.
But... with only the linear cannon left, [Mobius Zero] is completely unable to compete with [Sigur].
[Xigu] performed a spiral maneuver in the air, went around to the back of [Mobius Zero], and drew out his heavy chopper, and a terrifying cold light shone.
Upon seeing this, [Mobius Zero] urgently changed its direction and flipped directly in the air under the huge G force, but it was already too late.
The linear cannon had just locked onto [Xi Gu] who was very close at hand. With a flash of cold light, the linear cannon was split into two.
"What!?" Mu panicked. The linear cannon was the only weapon, and now it has been destroyed. Doesn't that mean he can only be killed by Cruze?
But Kruse simply ignored Mu and the broken [Mobius Zero]. They already had their meal on the plate, and they could eat it when and how they wanted, all in one thought.
But the Strike Gundam on the ground is intact. The Earth's MS has not yet been fully understood. Its performance and threats are all unknown. Since the opponent has not activated it yet, let's nip the unknown in the cradle!
Team Cruze's mission is to snatch five Gs from Earth, and they have already snatched four of them. At the same time, the scheduled pilot of the last one has also been killed, so they simply destroyed it!
Seeing [Xigu] attacking from the air, Thor and others ran away in panic. Malu quickly chased after them and threw them to the ground. If the MS was still running around after the attack, it was looking for death, even though they were lying on the ground.
It's almost the same, but you can also pray for a slim hope.
Yang Hui did not escape, and has been assisting Strike Gundam in replacing the giant sword backpack. Strike Gundam also changed its weapons for the first time. The OS is the same. Kira changed the OS of the machine, and the OS of the accompanying weapons must also be changed.
"Does this count as cheating yourself?"
Yang Hui used self-mockery to relieve his psychological pressure. Being physically involved in the MS battle was so exciting that Yang Hui didn't want to encounter it a second time.
"Modan, if I had known, I would have asked Setsuna and the others to come to [Heliopolis] in advance and wait."
Yang Hui hated the feeling that his fate was not in his own hands. In order not to expose Setsuna, Lyle and Tieria's identities and machines in advance, Yang Hui kept them on standby at the [Heaven's Pillar]. If he had known better, he would have asked them to replace ZAFT.
The MS is on standby nearby.
"Kira! Are you okay?"
"Wait a moment...the whole system is completed!"
After changing clothes, Kira activated [PS Armor] without hesitation.
Everyone protected them and blocked the 76mm artillery shell.
"[PS Armor]? Tsk, is it too late? But..."
After snatching back the information on the other four Gundams, he had already obtained the information about the [PS Armor] and knew how terrifying this armor was, but Cruz did not give up destroying the Strike Gundam because of this.
[Xigu] is a physical weapon and there is really nothing he can do against Strike Gundam.
But there are advantages and disadvantages. Nothing in the world is perfect. Corresponding to the invincible defense of [PS Armor] is energy consumption. High defense means high energy consumption. Now he only needs to deal with Strike Gundam
, continue to consume its energy, and when the energy is exhausted, it will be the opportunity to destroy the Strike Gundam.
But Cruze's plan was excellent, but he did not consider that there would be people who would disrupt the situation.
"Boom~!"
The ground of [Heliopolis] was penetrated by an electromagnetic torrent of blue, red and white colors. Smoke and flames rolled thickly. A pair of white "long legs" stepped out of the smoke, and then a gorgeous body, such as
Holy angels came and temporarily stopped all fighting.
…
Rewinding time, the secret dock of [Heliopolis].
The explosion of the time bomb shattered the entire dock, with scattered wreckage, debris and the bodies of the victims everywhere.
Fortunately, the Archangel, the most advanced warship of the Earth Alliance docked in the dock, did not suffer much damage and remained intact.
But unfortunately, there are very few survivors.
"Only a few people who happened to be inside the ship at the time of the explosion were safe, and almost all of them were engineering personnel." Sergeant Major Arnold Neumann reported to Second Lieutenant Natal Bakirulu.
(PS: These two characters will be described in detail, especially Sergeant Major Arnold Neumann, he is a super helmsman!)
"How is the situation? How is ZAFT's warship?" Bakki Lulu asked. Their safety, the future of the Archangel, and [Plan G], which is crucial to the Earth Alliance, all depended on her.
on the shoulders.
There is nothing we can do about this. The situation is too tragic. ZAFT's bomb attack almost wiped out all the Earth forces inside [Heliopolis]. Except for the people on the Archangel, there are no survivors. The second lieutenant is already the highest ranking officer.
With her military rank, she can only bear this responsibility.
"I don't know. We have done our best just to understand the surrounding situation."
Hearing this, Bucky Lulu activated the self-checking system of the Archangel. Most of the systems were able to operate normally, and the damaged parts would not affect normal navigation, and she was relieved.
"As expected of the Archangel, an explosion of this magnitude cannot be silenced." Bucky Lulu sighed.
"However, the area facing the port was covered with debris, and we were completely trapped." Sergeant Major Arnold Neumann guessed what Bucky Lulu was thinking, but reported it helplessly.
Bucky Lulu thought for a moment and turned on the Archangel's communication system. There was nothing but electronic noise.
This is considered a normal situation, but Bucky Lulu thought of more.
"There is still communication interference, but... is this a feint attack? ZAFT's target is actually [G]!?" Thinking of this, panic spread in his brain, and Bucky Lulu could no longer keep calm, "Damn it! [Shuguang Society]
How is the situation with ]!? How is [G] going? I don’t know anything here!”
If the Archangel is the latest and most cutting-edge warship of the United Earth, and is extremely precious, then [Plan G] is related to the future of the United Earth. The X series has concentrated on the technology of an era that exceeds that of the ZAFT mass-produced machine - [Jean].
Miniaturization of beam weapons, [PS Armor], G-series skeletons... these are extremely confidential technologies. If they all fall into the hands of ZAFT, not only will they not be able to reverse the current battle situation, they will even help ZAFT widen the gap.
It is even more suppressed and the Earth United can hardly breathe.
"This...105 Assault...Earth Army...Answer..."
At this time, an intermittent and unresponsive communication gave Bucky Lulu renewed hope.
"Communication? This is the Archangel. I am Second Lieutenant Natal Baji Lulu. Please reply when you receive it!"
However, Baji Lulu's call received no response, and communication interference blocked the connection between the two parties.
But this did not discourage Bucky Lulu. She heard a few keywords. Strike 105 was the GAT-X105 Strike Gundam. She called the Earth Army to prove that the opponent was not a soldier of the Earth Alliance, but it could not be a member of ZAFT.
.
Based on the preliminary assessment of the situation, the Strike Gundam fell into the hands of an unknown person, but it has not been snatched away by the ZAFT army. The other party contacted the Earth Army, most likely to return the Strike Gundam or seek help.
So... what needs to be done now is very clear - get out of trouble, understand the situation, and recover the Strike Gundam.
As for asking for help...it depends on the specific situation. After all, they have too much to take care of themselves now.
"Archangel sets sail!" At the same time as the order was given, Bucky Lulu sat in the captain's seat.
"Let this ship sail? There are not enough people!" Arnold immediately objected.
"If you have time to talk about this, why not think about how to do it? [G] There may still be fighting over there. Do we have to sit here and ignore things outside?"
Arnold was silent. He didn't want to be trapped in this place. Not to mention whether rescue would arrive, he couldn't ignore the fighting outside.
At this moment, three other survivors also came to the bridge. They were originally just reserve members of the Archangel, but except for them, no one could help Bucky Lulu make the behemoth Archangel move.
.
"I called someone here."
"Everyone sit down and just follow the computer's instructions."
"yes."
"There are ZAFT warships outside, and we can't fight." Arnold asked again.
"I know that you can launch the special cannon while activating the Archangel. Can you do it? Sergeant Major."
"..."
Hearing this, Arnold sat in the helmsman's seat without saying a word.
"The voyage process is started. Due to the emergency, the process from C-30 to L-21 is skipped, and the main power is online..."
Under the instructions of Baji Lulu, a few people nervously started the Archangel and checked various systems.
"Output increased...no abnormalities, 450 seconds left until rated power..."
"It's been too long. How is the pipeline connecting to Heliopolis?"
"...It still works!"
“The power is taken from there, the lines are connected, and the power is transferred to the accumulator.”
"Confirm the connection, the current is normal...there are still 20 seconds left before the rated power!"
"There are no abnormalities in the life support equipment."
"CIC (Combat Intelligence Center) is online."
"The weapon system is online, the FCS (Fire Control System) is connected...the magnetic field chamber and the particle sizer are idling normally."
"Exterior armor impact baffle stabilized at maximum power."
"The main power connection...the engine is normal, all systems of the Archangel are online, and preparations for sailing are complete!"
With the concerted efforts of everyone, the behemoth Archangel was awakened. The "Angel" may still be in a weak state. Calculating this, the protection of the "Angel" drove away the despair in everyone's hearts and planted a seed called "Hope"
.
"The airtight partition wall is locked, all personnel are prepared for impact and sudden hull damage, and the Archangel sets sail at a slow speed."
The fire at the tail was faint, and the Archangel kept sailing forward at a slow speed, slowly arriving in front of the locked passage exit.
The long-legged deck opened, revealing sharp fangs from the muzzles of two ferocious black cannons.
"While firing the special cannon, the maximum combat speed."
The blue positrons gathered toward the muzzle like a swarm of fireflies, and the light of the sparks gathered together to emit a dazzling bright light.
"Charging completed!"
"[Luo Anglin] Positron city-breaking cannon, aim... and fire!"
