【Zeigen。。。 Keine。。。 Gnade】

Such a consciousness invaded the soul sea of the new humans who had already gone to war, and watched the three black weird MS falcons swoop down, and Silence raised the weapon in his hand under the influence of the induction wave of the pilot's subconscious. Then a picture suddenly appeared in Arlando's mind like an unpowered TV suddenly shaking up an image:

A vague figure seemed to appear in front of him, and words were drifting out of that person.

And not from the three MSs who were pounced on themselves.

What is that...?! The momentary confusion of the driver's brain waves slowed down the silence's movements.

[Another victory] Illusory words burst into his mind with a lonely emotion that Arlando himself could not explain.

[It's tasteless]

"!! Arrando" Amuro's shouts awakened him from his brief vision, and the driver who had regained his sense of clarity caused the MS to spin normally again, scattering a barrage of bullets with available weapons in all directions.

"Rapid-fire artillery fire, cover fire in the direction of Zeon's Bakina!" Pull. On the bridge of Kellam, Brad gave a loud order.

The cannon mine is chaotic for a moment, even if it is a rapid-fire anti-aircraft gun, it is a 180-mm shell that can scrap an MS, why cover the shot, do you want to break with Zeon here?

"That's the Commando!" The co-captain sobered up the Cannon Mine Commander with a loud voice, and his gaze was fixed on two of the three planes, the stealth planes that were not armed at all.

"Batteries 1-5, front hit fire, covering rapid fire!" The 180-mm shells began to move in the direction of the MSs, which were almost entangled, and the barrage of barrage suddenly isolated the black MSs that were about to stick to Arlando from their targets.

"Chance!" Seeing that one of the enemy planes had been stripped from the formation, Amuro and Arrando invariably aimed their weapons at another black MS that had no weapons in their hands, preparing to annihilate them with crossfire.

But at this moment, the sun-blazing light was already pulled from that platform. Kalam's shipboard fire forced out of the MS swelled, and a huge amount of electrical energy flowed out of the tiny nanolattice cell, activating the warhead equivalent to 50 tons*, and the intense flash was accompanied by a thermal shock wave and a high concentration of GN particles spherical spread. Pull. At that moment, Kelam's point of fire lost its target, and it was briefly muted. The decaying heavy particles and the Minovsky particles escaping from the MS stirred and made Arlando and Amuro's landlines tremble, and the GN particles disrupted the transmission of induction waves between the two new humans in an instant, and the Sakumieus waves were confused in two different media.

"Silence, move!" Even though it was only a second or two of lag, Arlando roared.

After the two planes rushed out of the jamming zone, they saw two black MSs that had approached to a very close distance--- the MS without a weapon seemed to be rushing towards them, and the MS with a beam rifle pulled out two beam sabers and rushed over, as if to cut off the two planes.

Almost instantly, the two of them aimed at the black MS that was charging without a weapon from the front and from above--- leaving no chance to annihilate this special attack aircraft! The moment the crossfire formed by the beam and the physical bullet fell on the waist of the MS, the black MS split--- spewing fire between the lower and upper bodies that started at the base of the legs.

The rain of bullets passed between the split bodies, and the blazing particle beams grazed the separation point, but the upper body of the black MS still rushed towards the silence under the propulsion of the rocket ejector, and then the upper body also cracked, and from it swooped out multiple mechanical tentacles.

"Damn it!" Silence's head turned, and the Vulcan cannonball's shell came out of its shell, and a shot from the barrage slammed into a tentacle in a vacuum, sending it flying; The particle beam passed through the two tentacles, fusing them and causing them to scatter in the universe in a chaotic manner; The shield of silence jerked forward, and the floating cannon attached to the shield fired in all directions in a fixed turret, firing at the same time another mechanical tentacle.

However, there are still three mechanical tentacles that wrap around Silence with the half-body of a black MS who can no longer see a human form.

"!! Arrando"

As Amuro's anxious emotions reached Arrando's mind, what he saw with his eyes--- a row of red lights lit up on the tentacles.

I'm going to be fucking disabled now... Arlando broke free as he gritted his teeth and prepared to withstand the explosion.

But the expected explosion did not come!

Amuro's more anxious mood came, which made Arlando puzzled for a moment, and then saw that the MS they thought was a pinning machine was still rushing towards him, and then under his gaze, the two beam sabers went out like power-off flashlights, and the black MS backhanded, "inserted" the generators of the two "beam sabers" into his chest, and then rushed straight over!

Fooled...

The front observation fleet of the Zaft Army, the flagship "Thrace", in Gnakune, divided into two rows, stood 12 mobile suits. Assault Freedom stood closest to the hatch, and unlike the tense atmosphere that permeated the busy maintenance personnel below, the cockpit of Assault Liberty was a mixture of helplessness and silence. Kira. Yamato's hands, covered in his one-piece combat suit, clenched a few times and then let go, creaking in the cockpit where air was staying, silently mixed with the static sound coming from the communicator:

"The conclusion of the military headquarters and the council is that it is still forbidden to participate in the war...

"There are also those who are in favor of taking the opportunity to strike at the United Earth Fleet in order to make friends with the huge Imperial Fleet in exchange for a position in the new order." The wife's voice came from the far other side, full of tiredness and helplessness.

"But 。。。。。。。" The words stuck in Kira's throat and couldn't come out.

"You're asking the Plant's soldiers to die for their former enemies...

"Isn't it us..."

Lux's voice fell silent for a moment, leaving only the sound of interference for a while, and then slowly flowing again:

"I was born into a family of politicians, raised in a family of politicians... Intrigues, frustration and compromise were memories of my childhood, watching my father go out every day and worrying about whether he would be able to return home safely, praying every day that it was my life, until I decided to close myself in a distant fairy tale... I began to sing, to stand on the stage and to cover myself, outside of politics, soothed by the lights and songs, to look at the cruelty, greed and stupidity that even singing and dancing could not eliminate in the eyes of those politicians... Until my father fell, and now, in the midst of them, I ... ”

"Lux..."

"You know, originally, my name was supposed to be Lux (a pronunciation of Lacus), which is a noun in physics--- the unit of light, but now it seems that my light still can't shine through the hearts of even a handful of people like Plant...

"Politics, that is the convergence of helplessness and darkness in the hearts of people for thousands of years, how can a person illuminate, it is precisely because of this... Kira looked at the busy Zaft soldiers in Gnakune on the screen, "And the only way to remove the shadows is to remove the light, that kind of world, no one wants... ”

"I don't have the right of veto, and I can't force the sons of Zaft to shed the blood of their relatives and the blood of their bitter enemies...

"From a politician's point of view, or from Lux's point of view?"

“。。。。。。。。。”

At the same time, on the opposite side of the assault on Freedom, in the cockpit of a silver-white mobile suit, Yitzhak. Shul clenched the joystick in both hands, his head bowed, and the ends of his silver hair trembled with his mother's words:

"For the sake of the future of the people of Plant, the headquarters of the Zaft Army and the Council will not allow the observation fleet to participate in the war, and if necessary, will give you an order to assist the Imperial Army in the battle, but in consideration of Kira. Yamato's existence, now give you a secret order from the headquarters of the Zaft army --- stop Kira if necessary. Yamato, no matter the means! ”

"The future is not considered...

"With the overall superiority of the Imperial Army, coupled with the future political division, the Earth Federation will not be able to give us any benefits no matter what, and once we become enemies of the Imperial Army, what will happen to us who stretch out of the universe?" The silver-haired warrior's mother's voice echoed through the cockpit.

"Diego..."

"Huh?"

"Diego is in that ship... He and the soldiers of those ships were all killed in the attack of the Empire... What is Zaft going to do with this... ”

"Collateral damage."

"What did you say?!" Itzhak jerked his head up.

"The collateral damage of a strategic weapons attack," the congresswoman's voice did not fluctuate, "and if necessary, it could also be removed from the list as an independent pro-planet faction." ”

"You... Say.. What the?! Yitzhak gasped heavily.

"It's for the good of all of Plant!" As if feeling the wavering in her child's tone, the mother's voice was raised.

"That's my friend!! That's Zaft's warrior!! For the safety of the Plant, the warriors who fought bloodily are not to avenge them, do you still want to trample their names into the mud and make people spit on them!! "Itsaken's eyes widened, staring at the image of his mother.

"We all have the memory of being trampled into the mud by someone close to us, that's not a reason for you to violate military orders, you are a soldier of Zaft, carry out your orders!"

The video snapped to an end, and then soon, another communication cut in, Shiho. Hafness's voice rang out in the frantic heartbeat of Yitzhak:

"Itzhsak... What's going on ... ”

"Shiho... You haven't boarded the plane yet... It was a long time before Yitzhak opened his mouth again.

"Not yet, what's wrong?"

"Do me a favor," Yitzhak tapped quickly on the control panel, "can you adjust my beam rifle's output voltage stabilization threshold to a battle-damaged B3 position, and then fix it without letting the on-board computer fix it automatically?" ”

"It can be done, but..."

"Just do it...

In the cockpit of the assault on freedom, the long silence was broken by a ticking sound.

"Kira, what are you doing?!"

"Warm up, start, get ready to strike." Kira adjusted the system and watched as the mech gradually entered a state of sortie.

"Are you going to disobey military orders?"

"My dearest," Kira looked at Lux's face covered in struggle and pain on the screen, reaching out as if to touch his wife's face, he gently pressed his finger against the position of Lux's lips on the screen, "What have we been fighting for, to stop the war?" For peace? No matter what it is for, it's just a reason for you and me and a group of people to agree with, no matter what you're fighting for, it's selfish, but at least your and my selfishness has always been for a reason that you and I agree with, isn't it? ”

"Kira... The people of the Plant ... ”

"Win a peace against the earth, or stand with the enemies of the past, no one is qualified to say which one is good and which is bad, no one knows which one to give up, if your mission is to preserve the foundation for the future of the Plant, let me keep a tinder!"

"Tinder... You...?! ”

"If there really is a day, if I am still alive, I will stand up and make a testimony, and if I am not there, I will also leave solid evidence--- there have been people of the universe who have shed blood here."

"Maybe I'm not cut out for politics." Lux paused for a moment, then suddenly a smile broke out.

"I'm not fit for the army, and soldiers have to obey orders, but I think I can't let myself fall because --- thing that has 10,000 reasons to give up, but also has a reason that you must not give up." Kira smiled and closed her mask.

"I think, after this...

"The shipping warehouse with the will must have arrived at the Plant, and if I can't come back, I'll be there for all I want to say, and tell Noctis and Lucis that their father died protecting their future... Kira. Yamato, Over-and-Out! ”

The fuselage of the Assault Freedom moved, and in the surprised gaze of everyone in Gnaku, several MSs also moved, and they stood in front of the ejection tunnel amid the exclamations and dodges of the maintenance staff, and then the Repair Machine raised the beam rifle in his hand at the MSs:

"By the orders of the Zaft Military Department and the Supreme Council, stop you!"

The muzzle of the beam rifle lit up with a terrified green glow, and then it slumped.

"The weapon is damaged, the order cannot be executed, and there is no way to save the combat power." The silvery-white MS stepped aside.

"Yitzhak, thank you."

"Get out of this hatch, and you won't be recognized by the Zaft army."

"Ahh

"Well, have a nice trip."

"Plant, please."

"Leave it to us..."

"Prepare to catapult Mobile Suits, everyone retreat!"

"But..." The captain heard a puzzled voice from the bridge.

"Execute your orders!" Yitzhak and Kira spoke out together.

Half an hour later, the silvery-white MS stood in the hatch, looking at the jet light of the last MS that flew away from the fleet, and the monitor flashed a few times.

"Is that what I was trying to do with your weapon?"

"It doesn't matter now," Itzhak parked the MS back on deck, jumped out of the cockpit after the air lock was sealed, and waved to Shiho to go to the bridge, "Now we have our work to do, they have their... ”

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fooled... At the moment when Arlando watched the real special attack plane rushing towards him and cursed in his heart, it was as if rain suddenly began to fall over a piece of land on the earth, and a beam of green heavy metal particles whistled in, and the cylindrical "rain curtain" whipped on the black special attack MS, washing it away before it had time to activate the detonator. The black MS struggled to pounce on the silence, but Amuro, who had gained reaction time, activated the rocket launcher, and the furious iron pellet made the black MS's body not crash straight into the silence at a speed of dozens of times the speed of sound.

"Is it finally in the war, Zaft?!"

"That may disappoint you, it's not Zaft who came, we just went to war of our own volition!"
