Chapter 301 Cagalli is missing, and so is the captain!
Sky King 1 returned to the ship with the joy of victory, killing a mothership, and all the mobile suits in it were destroyed. This achievement was quite good, and when it came back, it found that the Archangel was The battle is over, which makes me happy.
But when the fighter plane landed and Mu got out of the cockpit, he saw that everyone had serious expressions.
"What happened?" Mu asked immediately.
“Where is Unit 2?”
"The little girl didn't come back?" Mu was stunned immediately. During the battle, the navigation module of Air King 2 was destroyed, so he asked Cagalli to return first. She should have returned to the ship long ago.
"What happened? Where is Cagalli?" Kisaka, who was also waiting for Cagalli's return, and Lyle, who was returning to the ship, came over and asked.
"That's it..."
...
The time went back ten minutes ago. After the two Skymasters launched their attack, they headed towards the direction given by CIC to look for ZAFT. We went to the military's mothership, and it didn't take long to find the location of the submarine mothership.
"Finally found you, little kitten!" Seeing the light spots appearing on the anti-submarine radar, Mu's heart that had been hanging around was finally relieved. After all, the direction given by CIC was just a prediction, and it did not mean that they would definitely be able to find the target. .
"Kitten?"
"Don't worry, let's go!"
"It's Cagalli!"
Although Cagalli is complaining Mu did not call her name, but his movements did not stop. The missile bays on the lower abdomen of the two Skymasters opened and launched an anti-submarine torpedo.
One missed and the other hit, directly hitting the starboard side of the mothership (port side: you have today too!). The water was so serious that the mothership had to float up, and they also needed to let the [Dean] troops on standby attack. Shoot down two Skymasters.
"Damn it, if the captain hadn't asked us to go back to the base to resupply...surface and let [Dean] attack and knock them down!"
The shadows on the sea are getting darker and darker. This is a sign that the mothership is about to surface. Mu did not expect the two anti-submarine torpedoes to sink the ZAFT army's submarine mothership in the first place, in order to force them out of the bottom of the sea. As soon as they surfaced, they would be strong. Give it a shot! This is why the Air King piloted by Mu carries an artillery pack.
“They are coming, are you ready?”
“Yes!”
This was Cagalli's second time flying the Air King, but she was still a little nervous. At the same time, she also wanted to strive for performance, so she directly lowered her height and flew at a low altitude toward the position where the mothership surfaced.
“Hey, don’t fly too low, you’ll get hit by the waves!”
Fortunately, Mu reminded her in time, and at the critical moment, Cagalli pulled up the joystick and climbed up. , otherwise, the waves emerging from the mothership will sweep away the Sky Overlord and turn him into a turtle in the sea.
"Idiot, be calm next time and don't act impulsively!"
"Who are you calling an idiot!"
At this time, Mu felt the same as Yang Hui. This girl Cagalli was really not cute at all.
However, Yemu did not argue with Cagalli, because the submarine carrier had surfaced, and the three MS ejection bay doors on the surface were fully opened. If they did not take action, they would be in danger.
“Don’t even think about it!”
Lowering the altitude, the [Fire God] ultra-high pulse cannon roared, and the fierce blue, white and red beam directly penetrated the submarine mothership, leaving behind A ferocious big hole, the next second, the arc jumped where the big hole melted, making "sizzling" sounds one after another, sparks flying, and finally there were explosions one after another, with flames shooting into the sky and thick smoke billowing.
"Is it done?" Cagalli was excited when she saw the submarine carrier explode, but she immediately became nervous because a [Dean] rushed out of the fire and smoke, He pointed the dark muzzle at her.
Facing the incoming [Dean], Cagalli quickly dodged, but almost hit Mu's following attack.
"Little girl, don't run around! What if I hit you?"
"What did you say...uh!"
I was still ready to speak harshly, but Cagalli's machine has already It was hit, but fortunately, although the tail was trailing a trail of smoke, it quickly resumed its smooth flight.
"Are you okay?" Mu asked quickly. He had promised Yang Hui to take good care of Cagalli and not to break the appointment at the last minute.
"The navigation module is just damaged, it's okay."
"Can you return home? Then leave quickly, I will deal with this guy." Mu was also afraid, Cagalli's potential in piloting the Air King is indeed Not low, but she is willful, likes to show off, and is competitive. Mu Zhen doesn't dare to let her stay on the battlefield anymore.
“I told you it’s okay, I can still...”
“You’ll only get in the way by flying around! Don’t you understand this!?” Mu’s violent temper finally endured Unable to hold on any longer, he started yelling. He finally understood the reason why Yang Hui liked to scold Cagalli. It was not that he liked to target Cagalli, but that this girl really wanted to be scolded!
“Tch, okay, got it!”
Unwilling to accept it, but having no choice but to accept it, Cagalli could only fly the Air King to escape from the battle and return to the direction of the Archangel, but...
Cagalli left, and Mu Ye was finally able to Let go and fight.
Raising, flipping, diving, following the direction of the sun, when [Dean] was blinded, the three-color fierce fire once again erupted with a terrifying roar, stopping [Dean] in his tracks. Truncated.
“Okay!”
After defeating the last [Dean], with the joy of victory, the Air King began to return.
...
"This is the situation. I asked her to return in advance. Logically speaking, she should return." After listening to Mu's story, everyone fell into thinking, thinking about why Cagalli would missing.
"Could it be that the navigation module was damaged and couldn't find the direction of the Archangel and got lost?" Ma Liu guessed.
"No way?" Everyone was stunned for a moment, with expressions as if they had seen a ghost.
"No, if it's Cagalli... it's really possible." Yang Hui covered his face and said depressedly.
This expression is really not fake, the anime is just an anime. Will Cagalli encounter the Holy Shield's transport plane by chance, and then both fall, and spend a night alone with Aslan on an uninhabited island? Yang Hui didn't know it, but Yang Hui, who grew up with Cagalli, knew that she was a road-crazy, and a super road-crazy!
How crazy is Cagalli? A person who almost got lost in his mansion!
"...Oh, what should we do now?" Everyone was really speechless. There are really people in this world who can't find their way home without their navigation.
"We can only launch a search and rescue operation." Ma Liu decided.
Originally, Bucky Lulu would have sternly objected. After all, they were still in the area occupied by the ZAFT army. If they stayed there for a second longer, they would be in danger. No one knew whether the ZAFT army would send reinforcements to pursue them.
But now the situation is completely different. Not to mention that Bucky Lulu’s character is slowly changing slowly and subtly. They accepted Yang Hui’s commission and sent him and Cagalli back to Orb safely. They are also in urgent need of Orb's supplies. Now there is one less target to escort, and it is the princess of the Asha family. Hasn't the commission failed?
And if Orb knew about this news, he probably wouldn't have to go to Alaska and just sink himself.
Due to the emergency of the war, the Atlantic Federation is paying more and more attention to Orb. If their actions deepen the gap between Orb and the Atlantic Federation, the top management of the Atlantic Federation will not let them go without Orb taking action. .
"Look for it, at least... we must also find the wreckage of Air King 2." Yang Hui said.
"..."
Everyone was silent. Although they still had hope, it was just hope. Cagalli's current situation can be judged as MIA (abbreviation for Missing In Action, which refers to missing during combat missions). of military personnel).
After the supplies of Strike Gundam and Skymaster 1 were completed, they made an emergency sortie again to search the surrounding sea areas. At the same time, the Archangel moved towards the nearest uninhabited island, where Lyle's [ Jean] put it down and started searching for Cagalli from the land.
“The distress signal should have been sent out, but the signal is so poor now that it is of no use at all. After Air King and Assault searched the nearby sea areas, they merged with the Leer aircraft and launched a search for the uninhabited islands. ."
"Understood."X3
"Remember, the search and rescue operation can only be carried out until 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, and it must end by then." Baki Lulu reminded.
To stop and launch the search and rescue operation is already the most benevolent thing. After all, Cagalli’s life and death are unknown. Yang Hui is still on the Archangel and has lost an escort target. They must be responsible for another escort target, and He must be responsible for all members of the Archangel. Of course, this deadline was also agreed by Yang Hui.
"Master Yang Hui..."
"Kisaka, do you have anything to say?"
"If...Kagali is not found, I request that... Disembark here.”
"Stay and continue to search for Cagalli?"
"Yes, Master Uzumi entrusted Cagalli to my care. If she cannot be found within the time limit, I cannot go back like this."< br>
"...You have become stupid after staying with Cagalli for a long time." Yang Hui shook his head and smiled.
"In Cagalli's terms, this is all Haumea's guidance." Kisaka replied with the same wry smile.
"Haumiah's guidance...I approved it. If we don't find her, you will find her and bring her back, no matter what."
"Understood."
......
The Archangel launched a search and rescue operation, and people were missing from the ZAFT army's Carpentaria base. Sara, who had just been established, Before the team could carry out any of their tasks, the captain disappeared.
"Yitzhak, is there any news about Aslan?" Nigel asked anxiously when he saw that Yitzhak, who was asking for news, had returned.
Originally, the four of them were supposed to set off together, but the transport plane responsible for transporting the Aegis Gundam temporarily broke down before takeoff, so Aslan and the Aegis Gundam set off a little later, and then... until the sunset They failed to reach the Carpentaria base.
"Team Sala members, we are now announcing the first mission of our glorious team." Yitzhak did not answer Nigel, but said seriously, but in a rather joking tone, "This mission is very important, and the content is... ...Search and rescue captain!”
“Pfft~hahahaha…” Diego laughed out loud after hearing this.
Nichol wanted to be angry, but he had no choice but to do so. He was more concerned about Aslan's safety than arguing with Yitzhak and Diego.
“I can’t blame him for the transport plane being shot down this time, but the headquarters is also busy with business, so I told my captain to find it myself.”
“Yeah, yeah, what a good start. .”
"But it's getting dark now, let's go look for it tomorrow."
"How could this be possible!?"
"He is still driving the Holy Shield, even if he falls into the sea Don’t worry too much.”
“That’s it, just rest in the dormitory today. The mothership will be ready tomorrow and we can set off again then.”
Nigel was helpless. It is acceptable that if it were a space environment, even if he was alone, he would have to pilot the Thunder Gundam to immediately launch a search and rescue operation. But on earth, especially in the sea, without the support of a mothership, the result of Nigel's solo action could only be It is to change the search and rescue target from one to two.
"Aslan, you must be safe and sound." Nigel prayed while looking at the sunset outside the window.
