When Kira stood in front of a certain building, he found that someone was already waiting there.
Apparently, this is the place LH033 mentioned.
Kira's eyes made contact with the person waiting there, and then the person motioned for Kira to follow, then turned and walked into the building that looked extremely dilapidated from the outside.
"Excuse me, is this? Is Lux here?"
Although Kira followed behind, she still subconsciously asked as she stepped into the unknown darkness.
But the person leading the way never showed up and refused to talk to Kira, just completing his mission silently.
The two of them walked in the darkness one behind the other.
If there hadn't been a brighter light ahead, Kira might have been unable to help but look back to see how far he had gone in this darkness.
"It's here! Come in!"
Walking out of the darkness and stepping into the bright light, the person leading the way turned slightly and opened the iron door under the light.
The heavy and slow harsh sound shocked Kira, and she subconsciously cast her gaze behind the clocked iron door.
"Please come in! Miss, we are waiting for you inside!"
"Miss?"
Kira was stunned.
Could it be "Lux Klein"?
Underneath the confusion is the urge to see a certain figure eagerly.
Amidst Kira's footsteps mixed with a hint of anxiety, he stepped into the open door.
At that moment, the warm breath immediately enveloped Kira.
A soft voice sounded in my ears,
What became clearer and clearer was the warmly decorated furniture and the pink girl sitting on the sofa, slowly pouring black tea.
"Lux?"
Kira cried out in surprise.
Unexpectedly, the young lady that person mentioned was actually "Lux Klein".
Hearing Kira's voice of surprise, LH033 put down the teapot and turned back to Kira with a gentle smile.
"Kira, we meet again. Come! How about you try the black tea I made first?"
Before Kira could react, a gust of fragrant wind hit her face, and a gentle touch enveloped Kira's right hand, and then she instinctively followed the owner of that gentle touch subconsciously.
The intoxicating sound,
A figure that makes people feel gentle,
Every time Kira appears in front of Kira's eyes, Kira can't help but want more tenderness.
"Come! Sit down first!"
LH033 saw Kira's change, but didn't say anything more.
"Lux, how did you come here?"
The aroma of black tea did not fascinate Kira. His attention was still on why the girl in front of him appeared on this abandoned colonial satellite.
"Just some small checks."
LH033's movement paused for a moment, but Kira didn't notice it.
"examine?"
Kira was a little confused, but based on her trust in the pink girl in front of her, she didn't ask any more questions.
This also made LH033 relax a little.
If Kira continues to be obsessed with why she left PLANT and appeared in this abandoned colonial satellite, I'm afraid she won't be able to give a reason that convinces Kira.
Is it possible that LH033 confessed that he is the photocopier of Lux Klein?
"Yes. It's just an inspection. Although this colonial satellite is very deserted, the facilities here are very advanced, and there are not many idle people here."
LH033 dealt with Kira's doubts casually, then picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then brought the topic back to Kira.
"Kira. Is there something wrong with you there?"
Hearing this, Kira nodded.
Although he has reunited with the Archangel, the Archangel and even his friends do not agree with his philosophy. They only agree with Lei Mingkai, who appeared first in the Freedom Gundam and rescued the Archangel and others.
action.
This frustrated Kira very much.
Listening quietly to Kira's story,
Listening to his complaints,
The encouraging smile on LH033's face gradually cheered up Kira's frustrated heart.
"Really? I didn't expect that he, that Lei Mingkai, would take the lead! However, there is no big problem. Although the Archangel cannot agree with your ideas, please don't be discouraged. There are still others in this world.
There are people who agree with your philosophy Kira."
"Others?"
"Yes? Others, such as Maldis, a very great person. She has always wanted to meet you. Now, maybe it is a good opportunity!"
When LH033 spoke of her, Maldis made Kira frown slightly.
From LH033's description, she seems to be a very strong woman.
Could it be that the facilities here are owned by this woman named Maldis?
If it is true, Kira seems to understand why LH033 asked to come to the colonial satellite Mendel after failing to recruit the Archangel.
"Maldis, she..."
Suddenly, a piercing alarm sounded.
Before LH033 and Kira could react, strong vibrations followed the siren and hit the building wantonly.
"Boom!"
Under the strong vibration, the soft light dimmed and brightened.
The black tea in the cup was scattered on the table, dripping along the table to the floor, staining the white skirt of LH033 with red spots.
"careful!"
The moment the tea cup rolled off the table and broke into pieces, Kira flew up and grabbed LH033, who was accidentally shaken off balance.
"Thank you! Kira!"
Kira's calm and powerful body made LH033 feel reassured, but now was not the time for tenderness.
"Let's go! Go find out what's going on!"
LH033 gently pushed Kira away and walked to the door first.
Kira couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, but he still followed LH033.
Outside the passage, the abnormal sound mixed with sirens and strong vibrations became more intense and harsh.
Figures of people kept passing through the depths of the passage, as if they were responding to some situation.
LH033's eyes flashed with solemnity, and she seemed to have understood what was going on.
"Kira. Come with me!"
As a matter of urgency, she must first find Maldis before she can decide what to do next.
at the same time.
On the outside of this building, a group of well-trained mercenaries launched a fierce bombardment on the building occupied by the "family" step by step according to the plan.
All kinds of artillery, the Earth Alliance has long been decommissioned, and even some of the tanks in active service were dragged here by these mercenaries, surrounding the building and letting out waves of roaring bombardments.
"What a big battle! Aren't you afraid of scaring people away?"
Jormungandr crossed his arms and said with interest.
"No. I know Maldis. As long as I appear here, she will never escape!"
Next to Jörmungandr was Matthias, who had met Remingkai before.
"Speaking of which, I have to thank Miss Jormungandr and Mr. Lei Mingkai for their help. If it weren't for your activity, I'm afraid Maldis would not have chosen these as the new base of the "family"."
"No. I didn't do anything. On the contrary, my actions so far have been just to protect myself."
Matthias's thanks were not accepted by Remingkai.
The contact with the "clan" and the librarian basically stopped after discovering Kriyana.
Therefore, in essence, Matthias's thanks are more like polite words.
"No. That's why I want to express my gratitude to Mr. Lei Mingkai! Perhaps you don't know that the person standing behind Maldis is the enemy you are facing now."
"MISS.E?"
The enemy in Matthias's mouth is not someone else, but MISS.E who has been hiding behind PLANT and ZAFT.
"Yes. It is precisely because of the addition of MISS.E that the clan and Maldis have the technology to perfectly replicate human beings. I wonder if you and Miss Jormungandr can understand the meaning of the word perfect reproduction."
"Perfect reproduction?"
As soon as he heard this word, Jörmungandr's eyes became solemn.
Obviously, the woman who took the name of the giant snake in Norse mythology as her operational code name already understood the meaning of this word.
"Are there no genetic defects? In that case, I already understand."
The most intuitive example of the quality of cloning technology in the CE century is Rau Lu Cruze.
If there were no technical problems such as genetic defects, then a family of photocopiers would probably replace the leaders of various countries in a short period of time.
Thinking of this, Lei Mingkai suddenly understood why Matthias would launch the attack with such fanfare, even at the risk of exposing his whereabouts.
In order to escape, Maldis, who had already mastered this new technology, ran away.
Otherwise, Maldis, who had ruthlessly abandoned this new base, could still make a comeback by relying on this new technology.
In addition, MISS.E, who is hiding behind the scenes, may not give up!
"Then, Matthias, do what you want!"
“Thank you very much for your understanding!”
Mathias thanked him again, then raised his hand and the mercenaries he recruited slowed down the bombing on the spot, and rushed into the building along the attack route they had deliberately set aside according to the attack plan.
"Da da da!"
In an instant, bursts of fierce gunshots and fighting sounds rang out from the passage invaded by the mercenaries.
Inside the building, the core area of the clan's base.
"Chief Maldis, what happened?"
LH033, who led Kira along the way and finally arrived at the core area where Maldis was, asked hurriedly when he saw Maldis.
"It's an attack. Someone is attacking our facility."
Maldis glanced at LH033 and Kira, replied lightly, and then continued.
"Now, please let the young lady and this boy take the first step! The fighting here will continue for a while. For your safety, please stay away for a while."
After that, Maldis ignored LH033 and Kira and had them taken away.
Maldis knew that LH033 would definitely persuade her to leave, but this was not the past.
Because, on the screen in front of Maldis, there was a man standing openly in front of the only surviving camera outside the building.
He is his brother, Matthias, who has been missing for several years after he was deprived of his position as the leader of the clan.
There is no doubt that this is a battle of revenge!
Although Maldis didn't know how Mathias found this place, it was inevitable.
As long as one of the siblings, Mathias and Maldis, did not die in the battle for the patriarch, then this battle would still continue.
"Give me the order. After sending LH033 and Kira Yamato out, attack them with all your strength!"
"yes!"
Before leaving the room, Maldis cast her cold gaze on Mathias on the surveillance screen.
"Come on! Brother, this clan is not something you can control after all!"
Compared with the previous bombardment, the battle inside the facility was more intense and more brutal.
In a small space, firearms, grenades, and even blades wielded during hand-to-hand combat have become the protagonists of this fight.
The mercenaries who were crawling and wallowing among the dead relied on their own abilities and experience to continuously push forward, approaching the core area of the clan.
However, just when they were about to touch the core area, a group of figures covered in black helmets and tights stopped the mercenaries.
In an instant, the mercenaries who were about to win were not only frustrated in their attack, but were caught off guard and pushed back by the weird group of men in black.
Suddenly, the mercenaries suffered heavy losses.
"Sir! Our attack has been thwarted! It seems that we encountered the photocopier troops."
certainly.
As the former leader of the clan, Mathias naturally knew about the existence of the photocopier.
Therefore, when launching the war of revenge, he prepared some gifts for the photocopier troops.
"Go with the plan!"
After shouting an order, Matthias looked at Remingkai.
"Your Excellency, please take action! That woman, Maldis will not keep that person by her side. It is very likely that she will let that person evacuate in advance."
Lei Mingkai knew exactly who Mathias was referring to.
"I'll leave it to you! I hope that some facilities can be preserved after the end."
Matthias smiled softly and said clearly:
"Of course. Knights always need some evidence to prove justice, don't they?"
Kira and LH033, who quickly evacuated along the emergency passage, were getting farther and farther away from the sound of fighting.
Under the leadership of Maldis' people, LH033 and Kira quickly returned to the space port where the Covenant Gundam was located.
Fortunately, there was no fighting and no enemies here.
"I will send it here! Miss, and your Excellency, please evacuate immediately! Our clan leader will take care of the rest!"
Kira and LH033 nodded and entered the cockpit of the Covenant Gundam together, preparing to evacuate.
However, when the Covenant Gundam was activated, communications from the Archangel were also transmitted.
"Kira! Kira! Where are you? I heard that there was a battle in the colonial satellite, right?"
It was Mirialia's anxious voice.
They are friends after all.
Even if they don't accept Kira's ideas, the bond between friends still exists.
Kira and LH033 looked at each other and connected the communication.
"No, I'm fine. Now, I'm preparing to return to the Archangel."
"Really? That's really great."
Before Mirialia finished speaking, the screen suddenly shook a few times.
As the shaking of the screen ended, a black-haired girl appeared in front of Kira's eyes.
"Kira Yamato, is there a guest in the cockpit of the Covenant Gundam?"
The black-haired girl was Lux Klein who returned to the Archangel first and was waiting for Remingkai to send the signal.
"O...Audrey, is...is it so..."
Kira, who subconsciously agreed, suddenly remembered that LH033's identity was PLANT's "Lux Klein".
Although Kira did not fully admit it, Lux smiled softly, as if she was a girl who wanted to make new friends and said:
"Really? I wonder if Kira can introduce this new friend to me?"
While talking, Lux suddenly realized:
"By the way! Before meeting new friends, what I should do is introduce myself, right?"
Then, in Kira's astonished eyes, the black-haired girl on the screen clasped her hands together and said softly:
"In the name of Weiser."
Colorful streams of light appear out of thin air and then dissipate.
And among the dissipating colorful lights, long soft pink hair and a charming face appeared.
She chuckled and said:
"First time we meet! I am Lux Klein! Nice to meet you! Someone who has the same appearance and voice as me."
