Space had returned to its usual calm, but the traces of the battle were still floating in the silent area. Not far away, the Phisalus and another Lorasia-class warship were quietly waiting there, like a lion that had eaten its fill and was lazily digesting its food.
Aslan floated motionlessly in the lounge. Although his eyes were looking at Kanaku outside, his thoughts were already far away.
Rusty died in battle and met Kira, whom he had not seen for many years. He had no choice but to fight Kira. In the end, Lux's abduction caused him to part ways with Kira, but he did not know if he would really attack Kira. How should he choose between his past friendship and his current comrade? Aslan, who was still considered delicate and tender, was extremely anxious.
"Ah, there you are."
The sound of the door opening and the youth's words brought Aslan back.
It was Nicol. A happy smile appeared on her big loli face, and her tone seemed a little cheerful.
"Y'zaks and the others have safely landed on Earth. I just contacted them."
"Sou ga ~"
With a light step, Nicholas floated in front of Aslan.
"However, it is said that the time of returning to the team has not been set yet. It seems that they will stay at the base of Buffalo for a period of time.”
"Ah ~"
At this moment, the young man realized that the other party was absent-minded.
"What's wrong?" Nicholas asked with his head tilted.
"Er, no, nothing,"
Aslan also realized that his emotions were not right and quickly changed the topic." How's Y'zak's injury?"
"Ah, this."
The innocent young man thought that he was worried about this.
"The wound has been treated, but don't worry. He survived such an intense battle."
"Ah, yes."
One side of the lounge was a glass wall, from which one could clearly see the SS deck below. Currently, only Aslan's Holy Shield and Nicholas 'Thunderbolt were in the maintenance area. As the mothership Gamow sank with the Eighth Fleet, Nicholas and the aircraft were taken into the Phisalus.
"But is there no problem?"
The originally bright looking Nicol looked at Kanaku and whispered.
"What is it?"
" In the end, we couldn't even attack or seize the newly-built warship…We couldn't even destroy it…"
Aslan's expression froze, but Nicol did not notice. He started thinking to himself.
"Amazing…The performance of the G series is indeed impressive, but we've already sent four of the same model…Although the long-legged armor and firepower were great, it was not an invincible warship. How could we let them escape so many times…We're Team Kruze, aren't we?”
"That's why Captain…received the order to return. Isn't that right?"
Superstition-it could happen. Or perhaps it should be called good luck. The Archangel always managed to avoid being attacked at the critical moment and escaped from their clutches again and again. Perhaps no one in Kruze's team had thought that this mission would be so difficult to deal with.
However, Aslan was secretly happy for the good luck of the enemy ship. He could feel this, and therefore felt particularly sorry when he faced Nicol, who was worried about his superior.
"No…Captain Kruze also has an enemy ship that he can't shoot down. The ceremony also thinks so…"
Aslan swallowed his words. From this point of view, Kira and the others 'future was bound to be even more gloomy. Faced with such a powerful enemy ship, if ZAFT's military did not want to lose too many troops, they would not let the ground forces pursue too much. But what if it was the other way around?
Since the enemy was so difficult to deal with, they should be defeated as soon as possible. What if the military thought so…
Aslan could not help but worry when he thought of the danger that Kira, who had also landed on Earth, might face.
"…Aslan?"
After being stopped by Nicholas, Aslan quickly found something to continue.
"Oh, no... don't worry about it. This return trip seems to be related to another combat operation…"
"Really? That should be the case."
Nicol smiled with relief and said,""I'm going to see Xunlei. See you later."
"What? Oh ~"
When Nicholas closed the door, he glanced at Aslan. The sorrow that could not be wiped away climbed back onto his handsome face. He sighed in his heart and turned to leave silently.
The lounge fell silent again. Aslan was still floating quietly.
'Assault. If you don't destroy it, you might be the one who will be sacrificed next time.'
The captain's words echoed in his mind again. Aslan fell into deep thought with a bitter expression.
On the Archangel
"I looked at the operation manual yesterday. It's really a body that I'm looking forward to. But it can even be equipped with assault equipment. Am I going to be a delivery man?
On the launch deck, Vlada looked depressed. In front of him, there was a streamlined fighter jet fixed by a cable. There was also one covered in canvas.
Sky King-A ground-based fighter aircraft specially designed to support the Archangel and assault. It can be equipped with assault power equipment and can also directly use offensive weapons. However, it also played the role of transporting battery equipment quickly for the attack that consumed a lot of power.
"Hahaha ~"
Madrick laughed.
"If it's the captain, oh, no, if you hand it over to the major, you can guarantee that you can deliver it anywhere, right?”
"They say it's Admiral Halbaton's kind intentions, but to be promoted under these circumstances…sigh.”
When he heard the new title, Vlada didn't feel happy. Instead, he felt even more depressed.
The late Halbaton had raised the ranks of the crew. Under the situation where they could not fully replenish their manpower, this might be a little token of appreciation from the commander, right? However-
"I'm very happy about the raise…but when will I need it?”
In the current situation, it was useless.
"I heard that those little brats seem to have obtained a battlefield rank. Little Joker and the purple-haired kid were still second lieutenants. After all, they were combat pilots.”
"Ah, the others are also second-class soldiers.”
"Hahaha, I'll be able to take charge of the situation very soon! By the way, has that kid's fever gone down?”
"I heard that he returned in the morning." Vlada thought about what the doctor said before and replied," Should I say that the attack is stronger or his body is stronger…Speaking of which, why does Kira only call it Gundam sometimes?”
"Oh, the General Unilatal Neuro Link that appeared on the start screen…a bunch of stuff. He probably connected the first letter of each word by himself. It seemed like the same thing happened to Yifei's Mech. The military's nickname only has the first letter G…"
Speaking of the Ultimate Gundam, Madrick twitched twice. That Mech was too strange. Its equipment was constantly changing. When Madrick came yesterday, the Ultimate Gundam had two mortars on its arms, a smooth-bore cannon on its back, two beam guns, and two tachi at its waist. It made him afraid to approach that Mech.
So it was an initial-name. It seemed that the MG was also Kira's " beloved machine." Vlada couldn't help but feel delighted.
Over at the infirmary
"Kira is awake?"
Millie, who had just delivered food to the busy Yifei, asked loudly.
"Yes, just now." Dole replied with a relaxed expression.
"She seems to be fine. She has already returned to her room. However, she was still a little weak and needed more rest.”
At this moment, Flay came in with a tray.
"Flay ~"
"Change shifts?"
"Yes, how is Kira?" Millie asked quickly.
"I'm fine now. I've eaten. Last night looked fake. Millie, where's the one on your side?" Flay asked indifferently.
"What? Yifei was still the same, able to eat and sleep. Yi Fei said that he was fine, but the doctor still gave him a physical examination.”
“so~”
He placed the empty plates back on the table and took his own dinner before sitting down beside Sai.
"Sigh, none of them are so worry-free. I'm exhausted.”
"That's right," Millie agreed.
"Ah, right, I'm going to see Yifei later. This…"
Flay took out a paper crane from her pocket.
"This was given to me by an uncle from the maintenance team when I first arrived. He said it belonged to Kira. If anyone of you wants to go to Kira's place, help her bring it over.”
"This is? Zhihe?" Kaziz asked curiously.
"Yes, it was given to Kira by Qianqian before she left.”
" By now, the shuttle should have landed on Aube."
Millie looked at the paper crane and said emotionally.
"It should be. We've already landed for two days.”
"However, if Kira and Yifei hadn't gone to save the shuttle, we might have landed in Antarctica. But if you don't save him,"
Kazi was caught in a dilemma.
"If we don't save them, Kira and Yifei will regret it for the rest of their lives, right?”
Dole said in a deep voice.
Although they had landed in North Africa for this reason and the road ahead might be difficult, everyone was relieved that Xiao Qian could land safely. Otherwise, the Kira brothers would not be the only ones who would be regretful and sad.
The stars in the sky were particularly bright against the desert. The Archangel quietly lay on the cooled yellow sand, licking its wounds like an injured animal.
A few kilometers away, a group of people wearing desert winter clothes were observing the injured angel.
"Although I've only seen it on paper, it should be true."
A blonde girl who was about the same age as Flay put down the infrared binoculars and said to the people behind her.
"That's the new type of assault mobile special ship built by the Earth Corps on Heliopolis-Archangel!”
No one said anything. Out of trust, no one doubted the girl's words.
"Beep-"
The communicator in the jeep behind them rang.
"What's the matter?" A young man pressed the switch.”
" The tiger has come out of Receps! They're heading for the battleship with five Bakus.'
A sharp glint flashed across the girl's eyes when she heard the call. When she turned back to look at the Archangel, the faint light from the distant horizon shone on the girl's determined face.
