Chapter 238 Angel Sets Sail
In the sky, Cruze’s [Sigur] and Mu’s [Mobius Zero] were fighting inextricably, but the [Wired Pod] had already The Zero-types that had been completely destroyed could only rely on fixed-direction linear cannons to fight the intact [Xigu], which was almost doomed to defeat.
"Huh? Is that the one?"
Entering the interior of [Heliopolis], both Kruse and Mu immediately noticed the man who was changing equipment. Strike Gundam.
[Sigur] went straight towards the Strike Gundam, [Mobius Zero] was 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] was completely unable to compete with [Xigu].
[Sigu] made a spiral maneuver in the air, went around to the back of [Mobius Zero], and pulled out the heavy chopper, a terrifying cold light shining.
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 was destroyed. So wouldn’t he only be killed by Kruse?
But Cruze simply ignored Mu and the broken [Mobius Zero]. They already had their meal on the plate, and they could eat it whenever and how they wanted.
But the Strike Gundam on the ground is intact. The Earth's MS has not yet been fully understood. Its performance and threats are unknown. Since the opponent has not activated it yet, let's nip the unknown in the cradle!
The mission of the Cruze team is to snatch five Gs from the earth. Now they have snatched four. 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 followed and chased them and threw them to the ground. If the MS is still running around when it attacks, it is looking for death. , although lying on the ground is almost the same, but you can also pray for a slim hope.
Yang Hui did not escape, and has been assisting Strike Gundam to replace 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 that comes with the weapons. It must also change.
"Is this a trap for yourself?"
Yang Hui used self-deprecation 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.
"Ma Dan, if I had known, I would have asked Setsuna and the others to come to [Heliopolis] in advance and wait."
Yang Hui hates the feeling that his fate is not in his own hands. In order not to After exposing Setsuna, Lyle and Tieria's identities and machines in advance, Yang Hui asked them to stay on standby at the [Heavenly Pillar]. If he had known about it, he would have asked them to replace ZAFT's mobile suits and stay nearby.
"Kira! Are you okay?"
"Wait a moment...the whole system is completed!"
After the change of clothes, Kira activated [PS Armor] without hesitation ([PS Armor], full name is PhaseShift Armor, that is, [Phase Shift Armor], against (almost invincible defense capabilities of live ammunition weapons), Strike Gundam leaned down to protect everyone under him, blocking a 76MM shell.
"[PS Armor]? Tsk, is it too late? But..."
He had already obtained the information about [PS Armor] after snatching back the other four Gundams. , knowing how terrifying this kind of armor is, but Cruze did not give up destroying the Strike Gundam because of this. The [PS Armor] was indeed terrifying, and [Sigu], whose whole body was covered with physical weapons, was indeed helpless against the 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. He now only It needs to deal with the Strike Gundam and continue to consume its energy. When the energy is exhausted, it is the opportunity to destroy the Strike Gundam.
But Cruze's plan was excellent, but he didn't take into account that there would be people who would disrupt the situation.
"Boom~!"
The ground of [Heliopolis] was penetrated by the electromagnetic torrent of blue, red and white intertwined colors. Smoke and flames rolled thickly, and a pair of white " "Long legs" stepped out of the smoke, and then came a gorgeous body, like a holy angel descending, temporarily stopping all fighting.
......
Time reverses, 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 scattered everywhere.
Fortunately among the misfortunes, 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 staff.” 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 are ZAFT's warships?" Bakki Lulu asked. Their safety, the future of the Archangel, and [Plan G], which is crucial to the unity of the Earth, are all weighing on her. on the shoulders.
There is nothing we can do about it. 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, no one survived. Moreover, second lieutenant is already the highest military rank, so she can only bear this responsibility.
"I don't know. We have tried our best just to understand the surrounding situation."
Hearing this, Bucky Lulu activated the Archangel's self-checking system. Most of the systems They can all operate normally, and the damaged parts will not affect normal navigation, so I am relieved.
"As expected of the Archangel, an explosion of this magnitude cannot be silenced." Bakki 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.
Baki 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 remain calm. "Damn it! What's going on with [Dawn Society]!? What's going on with [G]? I don't know anything here!"
If the Archangel is the latest battleship of the Earth United, it is precious Abnormal, 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 production machine - [Jean], miniaturization of beam weapons, [PS Armor], and the skeleton of the G series. ...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 war situation, they will even help ZAFT widen the gap, making the United Earth even more suppressed and unable to breathe.
"This...105 Assault...Earth Army...Answer..." At this moment, an intermittent and unresponsive communication rekindled Bucky Lulu's hope.
"Communication? This is the Archangel. I am Second Lieutenant Natal Bakilulu. Please reply when you receive it!"
However, Bakilulu Lu's call went unanswered, and communication interference blocked the connection between the two parties.
But this did not discourage Bucky Lulu. She heard a few keywords. 105 Strike is the GAT-X105 Strike Gundam. She called the Earth Army to prove that the other party was not a soldier of the United Earth, but it also It can't be someone from 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.
Then... 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.
"The 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. , and 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, the other three 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 let the Archangel The behemoth was moving.
“I called people here.”
“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, you can launch the special cannon while activating the Archangel, can you do it? Sergeant Major."
"..."
Hearing this , Arnold sat in the helmsman's position 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 Bucky Lulu, a few people nervously started the Archangel No., check various systems.
“The output increased...no abnormalities, there are still 450 seconds before the rated power...”
“It’s been too long, what is the condition of the pipeline connecting [Heliopolis]? ”
“…it still works! ”
"Get power from there, connect the pipeline, and transmit the power to the accumulator."
"Confirm the connection, the current is normal... There are still 20 seconds left before the rated power!"
"Life support There is no abnormality in the device."
"CIC (Combat Intelligence Center) is online."
"Weapon system is online, FCS (Fire Control System) is connected... The magnetic field chamber and particle sizer are idling normally. .”
"The outer armor impact baffle is stabilized at maximum power."
"The main power connection...the engine is normal, the entire system of the Archangel is online, and preparations for sailing are complete!"
With the unity of everyone With the joint efforts, the behemoth Archangel was awakened. The "Angel" may still be in a weak state. Calculating this, the "Angel"'s protection drove away the despair in everyone's hearts and planted a seed called "Hope".
"The airtight partition wall is locked, all crews are prepared for impact and sudden hull damage, and the Archangel is moving forward at a slight speed."
The fire at the tail is weak, and the Archangel maintains a slow pace Sailing forward at high speed, he slowly arrived at the exit of the locked passage.
The deck of the long legs opened, and the sharp fangs were exposed from the muzzles of the two black ferocious cannons.
"While firing the special cannon, the maximum combat speed is achieved."
The blue positrons converge towards the muzzle like a swarm of fireflies, and the light of the stars gather together to emit A dazzling bright light.
“Charged!”
“[Luo Anglin] Positron city-breaking cannon, aim... and fire!”
"Boom~!"
