001 The Ghost of Julius
"Where the hell is this?"
In the universe, in an abandoned meteorite pile like a huge island, it can be seen that this meteorite still retains traces of artificial buildings, because it is really in the vacuum of the universe, so after a person dies, the body still retains the appearance of the moment when the original life died.
A boy with long pale blue hair floated in the meteorite group, grumbling bitterly
If people with a little common sense saw this scene, they would definitely think that they were alive and dead, because the boy did not have any equipment that could guarantee survival in the universe. Wearing a simple but luxurious pure white jumpsuit, he didn't even bring a basic oxygen cylinder or helmet, but he still survived in the vacuum of the universe.
The boy looked at the dead place, looking up at the blue planet, although it didn't look very far away, but according to his observation of the orbit of the meteorite belt and the planet and nearby moons, it should be in an orbit between the planet and the moon
The boy's subtle perception told him that this meteorite belt was pulled too much by the planet's gravity, and it was getting closer to the planet at a very slow speed.
"However, speaking of which, the space of this dimension is really noisy!" The boy shook his head in annoyance, as if trying to drive the noisy and messy neutrons out of the city.
"Where the hell is this!?" If this wasn't in a gravity-free universe, maybe the boy would have started to roll helplessly on the ground, but the dull hair on his head was bent and erected, and it seemed to be completing the work in place of the boy.
I couldn't find the matching dimensional coordinates in the record, and I didn't have any references, and even if I wanted to ask which world realm this was, I couldn't find anyone to ask about in this barren area.
He looked up at the blue planet again, although this planet was the smallest one he had ever seen for a young man. However, after estimating the distance between the two sides, the teenager still sighed - at least there are more than 200,000 kilometers left.
Although it is not a very long distance for himself, but now that he has just passed through the turbulence of dimensional space-time, it is still very dangerous to jump in space from a long distance, and he is not sure that he will be washed into some unknown world.
"Huh?" At this moment, the flash of light in the corner of his eye caught the boy's attention, and a pair of wings spread out behind him and flew towards the flash.
CE71, January 25
The war between the Earth Union and Zaft has been going on for a year, and the PLANT side, which everyone thought was bound to lose, unexpectedly forced the Earth Union, which has huge forces and resources, into a difficult situation with the help of a neutron jammer and a humanoid mobile weapon called MS.
In order to remedy this technological and tactical disadvantage, the Earth Union privately reached an agreement with the neutral nation Orb to develop the joint dedicated MS and the accompanying high-speed cruiser with MS carrying capacity.
However, there are no impermeable walls, and the agreement was eventually learned of by Zaft, the PLANT's military organization, and as a result, four of the five prototypes were looted, and Orb's only colonial satellite, Heliopolis, was completely destroyed.
At present, in order to evade Zaft's pursuit, the prototype of a new high-speed cruiser, the Archangel, is escaping into this meteorite belt with the only prototype.
As for the purpose.....
"For what?" In the Archangel cafeteria, Kira and his companions asked Captain Mu emotionally
"For what...?" Mu scratched his head in annoyance, "Because of the hasty escape from the satellite, the ship only had a basic limit of supplies at the beginning, and there was no material supply along the way, and at present, even water and food need to be limited in distribution, so we can't make it back to the moon." ”
"But even so .... What are we? And ......" Kira and the others looked out the window at the bleak island-like meteorite
"I understand, but this ship is already understaffed, so I hope everyone will do their part to survive. Actually, we don't want to do this, but there is no other way, not to plunder the things of those who have passed away, but to hope that they can give us a little of what we need to survive, in order to survive....."
After listening to Mu's explanation, everyone fell silent, although they were unwilling in their hearts, but in the face of the situation that survival could not be solved, no one was willing to make more hypocritical resistance.
Julius 7, which is the original name of this huge meteorite belt outside, as a victim of the war between the Union and Zaft and the witness of barbarism.
Julius 7 is one of several satellites that PLANT has converted to agriculture in order to remove control over the food output of its constellation of satellites by the members of the Council on Earth.
The United then launched an attack on Julius 7, and by [coincidence], a cruise missile carrying a nuclear warhead was loaded on the United Möbius (the universe MA of the United Earth)
Then, by chance, the nuclear bomb was shot off Zaft's battleship and headed for the satellite.
In the last [coincidence], the nuclear bomb hit the most critical and vulnerable axis of the colonial satellite.
And so, the United Flag was victorious – with the bitter wails of 240,000 innocent civilians.
Although the winner is the king on the battlefield, it is indeed despicable to involve civilians for no reason.
Now, this completely destroyed satellite has just become a lifesaver for everyone. It has to be said that this is the irony of fate.
"How long will it take?" In the communication channel, Captain Maliu? Ramia asked
"Almost 4 hours to go! As long as there is one more back and forth in terms of ammunition. ”
Kira, piloting the Strike, is in charge of guarding the work boat.
"Civilian vessels?" Kira unexpectedly found a white, green-edged civilian boat in the probe, but although it was new, it was full of tatters.
"Was this sunk?"
Just as he was confused, Strike's siren began to buzz, and a black long-range Raid Reconnaissance Double-seated Ginn appeared on the screen.
Ginn's one-eyed head turned from side to side, not seeming to notice him, and Kira immediately hid his mech behind a nearby rubble.
...............
'Knock~~Knock~~'
At the moment, he is driving the Pod (MA 'Mistral', which is commonly used by the Earth Army, which is usually used to transport supplies. Kaz, who was transporting it, suddenly heard a knock on the glass.
[Could it be that you hit something?] Kaz thought like this, after all, the MA used by Pod to transport supplies is not large, and the armor is not thick, so it is not surprising if it hits some careful meteorite blocks or cosmic junk.
'Knock Knock~~Knock Knock~~' The sound did not stop, but became a little stronger
"What's that?" Kaz looked up in the direction of the sound, and then his mouth widened, staring out the tempered glass window.
At this moment, a beautiful 'girl' with ten exquisite cross marks on her forehead and long pale blue hair was smiling at her.
If it's usual.... No, even now, if you don't care that the beautiful 'girl' is not wearing any protective clothing and helmet in the vacuum of the universe, if you don't care that the beautiful 'girl' is shrouded in a faint golden mist, the other party's warm smile on himself is enough to make the autistic and mediocre boy Kaz so happy that his heart is about to jump out of his chest.
But now his heart was beating out of his chest......
"It's all an illusion.... There can be no ghosts in this world..... It's all an illusion.... There can be no ghosts in this world..... Although this is Julius 7....." Kaz immediately held his head and hypnotized himself
[How strange is that? For what would be this reaction. The boy outside the window didn't seem to feel anything about his strange behavior.
Unable to figure it out, the boy knocked on the tempered glass window of the dinghy again.
'Knock knock....'
The sound of percussion shattered the belief in Kaz's heart, and he turned his head to sneak a look in the direction he had just now, but the other party was still there.
"Mom~~ Help!" Kaz roared in the communication channel, stepped on the thruster throttle, and the dinghy accelerated forward
"What's wrong? Katz? What happened? Miria, who was in charge of the CIC, immediately asked nervously
"There are ghosts.... I've seen ghosts! Katz stammered in reply
"No kidding, it's not funny at all!"
"I'm not kidding, I really saw it, this is Julius, it must be the soul body gathered by the 240,000 undead.... That's right, it must be! Kaz seemed to be searching for an answer to what had just happened
"Huh?"
At that moment, a resentful and anxious cry came from Kaz's head
[Why do you want to escape~~]
Kaz only felt that his scalp was numb, and he turned his head to look out the window, and the 'girl' with long blue hair actually chased after him, and this ghost actually caught up with the speed of the MA, you must know that even if this is just an ordinary transportation MA, the engine is only a little worse than the military MA-Mobius, and the maximum speed can reach Mach 2 in the universe.....
[I just wanted to ask.] ]
"Kaz, be careful!" Kira's anxious shouts came from the communication.
"Kira!" Before Kaz, who had thought Kira had noticed the situation on his side, there was a violent vibration from the other direction of the window.
"Damn, why should you notice him!" Kira finally lost her composure, and the sight caught the black Ginn, and she pulled the trigger of the 57mm high-energy beam rifle in succession.
The black Ginn was first shot in the hand holding the weapon, then the cockpit glowed white, and the body disappeared as a ball of fire, becoming part of the meteorite belt.
The long-haired boy had long since stopped where he was, looking at what was happening in front of him.
"It seems that there is no chance this time~~, it's really strange~~ Why do you want to escape?" But it didn't matter, a faint smile appeared on the young man's slightly disappointed face.
"However, I finally saw someone appear...", he had already seen a white ship like a white spot slowly sailing out from behind a meteorite.
Finally, the material handling operation was over, and Kaz explained desperately to Miria and the others
"What I say is true, I have seen it with my own eyes, the ghost of Julius! But... It's really beautiful! ”
"yes~~" Tuolu patted Kaz on the shoulder with a look of disbelief
"If you see this beautiful 'ghost' next time, please bring it to us!"
"What I said is true!!"
At this time, Kira piloted Strike and returned to the Archangel with an object similar to a rescue pod.
