Chapter 7 Side Quests
After communicating with Malu 'friendly', Xiao Ran is ready to start communicating with Kira, which is very important, not only related to the future development of the plot, but also closely related to Xiao Ran himself. Because whether Kira will join the Archangel in the future also means whether Xiao Ran can safely leave the Heliopolis colonial satellite later and complete the main mission one.
And when Maru found that there were no bullets in his pistol and stared at Xiao Ran, a hint from his soul also made him have to negotiate with Maru in order to emphasize the severity of the problem.
"Ding, Trigger Mandatory Side Quest: Help Marius Ramiath fend off the next wave of enemy attacks, and keep Kira Yamato, Thor Gnich, Miliaria Hao, Sei Argyll, and Kazui Baskak safe, reward unknown."
"Failure Penalty: None."
"A follow-up task will be triggered after the task is completed."
Xiao Ran was actually a little stunned when he received the task, after all, if he didn't appear, the normal plot would also be Kira driving the Strike Gundam to repel the enemy. But now that he is out, and because he has troubled all the weapons and bullets of Maliu, Kira and the others are no longer threatened, so Kira and them also have no reason to help Maliu.
A mission without a penalty for failure, Xiao Ran doesn't believe in this, if Kira's bad impression of Malu can't be reversed at this time, in the absence of deterrence, Kira may not necessarily sit on the Strike Gundam again, after all, once the Gundam is robbed, the plot will be completely disrupted, and without the familiar plot, he can't get benefits, not to mention, if there are any consequences, he can't guarantee that he will be able to bear it, and this is also the biggest punishment for him.
Maru left, and when he saw that the Strike Gundam had no energy, he took the initiative to leave, and Xiao Ran, who knew what the other party was going to do, asked the most sensible Sei to follow Maru.
"Teacher, why did you promise her?" Miliaria looked at the back of Maliu and Sey leaving, and looked at Xiao Ran in puzzlement.
Thor and Kazuyi also looked not poor: "Teacher, what do we care about her, and she is kind enough to help her and even point a gun at us." ”
"If we don't help her, we won't get away with it." Xiao Ran shook his head at a few people and looked at Kira: "Kira, do you understand why?" ”
"Yes." Kira nodded lightly and said in a dull voice, "Because this is a military secret belonging to the Earth Army and Orb." ”
Thor was puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”
"An Earth Army's MS is in the neutral country of Orb, or it came out of the Dawn Factory, how much does this need to be explained?" Xiao Ran patted Thor's shoulder helplessly, and was really anxious about his IQ: "MS who belongs to the Earth Army is in Heliopolis, who would believe it if he says that he has nothing to do with Orb?" Today's attack on Zaft is also because of these MS, and I even suspect that Orb may have developed his own MS during this period. ”
"And then?" Thor and Kazui looked dazed.
"What does Orb stand for when he developed MS? Secret! What does the MS of the Earth Army stand for? Or confidential! Although the others were robbed, at least there was the last and only one, this Gundam was the last straw for the Earth Army, representing the possibility of mass production of MS, if it was robbed, where do you think the Earth Army's anger will be vented? ”
"We?" Thor pointed at himself in amazement.
"Or else?" Xiao Ran asked rhetorically, looking at the stunned and surprised faces of several people, Xiao Ran continued: "We who know the military secrets of Orb and the Earth Army at the same time, even if we don't help Miss Ramias, does it really have nothing to do with us?" Maybe there is no need for the Earth Army to make a request, and some people on the Orb side will arrest us first in order to ensure this secret. ”
"The most important thing is Kira, just now the Gundam was piloted by him, and he should have changed the OS of the entire body, he alone was able to change the OS to a level that was enough to fight, and he also broke Zaft's body with only a knife, what does this mean, don't forget Jì, he had never been in contact with MS before Kira piloted this thing, so he will attract attention not only to Orb and the Earth Army, but even Zaft, a person with the potential to become an ace pilot, I believe that I will not give up lightly in any aspect. ”
Kira heard Xiao Ran shift the topic to him, and after hearing the content, she suddenly looked at Xiao Ran with stunned eyes: "Teacher...... This...... It's unlikely, right? ”
"It's not impossible, not to mention those terrorists, we can completely blame this matter on this Miss Earth Army." Xiao Ran shook his head, looked at Kira seriously, and said, "So we can only trust Miss Ramias now, and believe that after we help, she will selectively forget what happened today." ”
Kira was silent, now he was just immature, not brainless, the genius brain quickly flashed with all kinds of possibilities, Xiao Ran's serious words had already made him believe in these things, but this kind of thing was still a little too difficult for him to accept.
Looking at Kira's silent appearance, Xiao Ran was also a little unbearable, and said unconsciously: "Saion knows if he loses his horse, and the future may not be as unbearable as you think." ”
Listening to Xiao Ran's words, Kira was slightly stunned, and he didn't understand what Xiao Ran was talking about, but he was willing to believe that this seemed to help them a lot, and he also explained his teacher: "Teacher, what do you want me to do?" ”
"My opinion?" Xiao Ran was also stunned for a moment, and sighed slightly after seeing Kira's affirmative nod: "Before I say it, I hope that no matter what happens in the future, you don't hate me." ”
Milia pulled Xiao Ran's hand: "Come on, teacher, I believe Kira is not that kind of person." ”
"Huh." Xiao Ran smiled bitterly in his heart, shook his head and said, "Miss Ramia will definitely go to find the weapons and energy of the Gundam now in case of Zaft's next attack, and now that the satellite has been upgraded to level 8 alert, it is very difficult to avoid this trouble, so why don't we take the initiative in our own hands?" ”
"Kira, I think it's up to you to pilot this Gundam and fly him to protect us and protect this satellite until this event is over, I don't want it to be you if I can, but because you're the only one of us who has this ability!" Xiao Ran slapped Kira's shoulder heavily with his own hands: "And I, I will try my best to make you have no worries in the future, even if it is risking your life, believe me?" ”
The innocent Kira was moved to tears by Xiao Ran's words, thinking of Xiao Ran's recklessness before, and nodded his head heavily: "Teacher, I believe in you." ”
"Hmm." Xiao Ran nodded with a smile, but when he saw Kira's energetic appearance, he also felt a little numb in his scalp, and he always felt that something was not right. No, maybe there are already a lot of things that are not quite right, at this time, Xiao Ran looked at Kira, who had already exploded, and was silently praying for the Aslan foursome in his heart.
Soon, everyone chose to believe what Xiao Ran said, and decided to help Ramia temporarily protect Gundam until the end of the incident, not only Kira was motivated, but for their homeland, for the sake of future freedom, Thor, Miliaria and Kazui also became energetic.
It didn't take long for Maru and Sey to drive a large truck loaded with artillery equipment to the side of Gundam, and when the two of them looked at the excited expressions on the faces of Kira and the others, they looked a little puzzled, but after Xiao Ran finally asked Maru a word, both of them understood.
"You promise to forget about what happened today when you're done with this matter, right?"
"I promise." Ma Liu looked at Xiao Ran deeply, and finally nodded, and said slowly, "Thank you." ”
"No, you don't." Xiao Ran smiled: "We can take what we need." ”
After speaking, Xiao Ran added in his heart: "It's just that what I need is definitely not what you think." ”
Although the rest of the work dragged on, Kira was driving the Gundam Gundam and the cannon weapons were still being put to that point, and the Captain Cruze's Captain Sigu and the Mebius Zero piloted by Mu La Vlada rushed into the satellite colony while fighting.
Although the two sides are fighting, a discerning person can see clearly at a glance that the Mebius Zero is not Xigu's opponent at all, and even entanglement cannot be done at all. I could only watch as Xi Gu quickly rushed towards Strike Gundam and Xiao Ran and the others.
"Quick!" Although everyone knew that the speed of the equipment was only so fast, seeing that the Mebius Zero couldn't even block it, they could only watch Sigu get closer and closer and erect a shield cannon in their direction, and the fear in their hearts still couldn't stop coming up.
Except for Kira, who was sitting in the Gundam, Xiao Ran was the only one hiding behind the Gundam's big feet who seemed the most calm, and he watched the artillery equipment fit into the Gundam little by little, and finally let out a grazing sound, and in an instant, he reached out and pressed the two closest people around him to the ground. In the same way, Maruch did the same thing as him.
"Dada! Click! The shield cannon burst into flames the moment it locked on to the Gundam, and Kira Yamato also roared and pressed the button to activate the PS shield, and controlled the Strike Gundam to block in front of Xiao Ran and the others.
Several loud noises erupted from Gundam's body, and even the ground trembled a few times. Xiao Ran only felt that he was violently shocked twice, and when his ears rumbled, he saw a puff of black smoke coming out, and he couldn't see anything clearly in front of him.
Kreuzer heard the loud bang and saw the smoke and thought that his attack had worked, but a red beam of light rolled up countless black smoke and burst out of the air, turning into a red line connecting the sky and earth of the satellite in the blink of an eye, and bringing two sparks in its path.
"This power!" Kreuzer looked at the Gundam standing on the ground in great surprise, and even the cockpit was already lit up with red lights and alarms, and when he saw the picture on the display screen in front of him, he also gasped: "One shot penetrated the outer wall?" Who the hell is driving that? ”
"Boom!" Another loud noise erupted from one of the moon's mountain walls, and countless flames billowed black smoke.
"Hey, there's reinforcements!" Kreuzer gritted his teeth lightly, directly stepped on the pedal and pulled the control lever, and Xigu, who had lost his right arm and right foot, quickly escaped from Heliopolis with a spark through the big hole made by Kira: "The last body, we must not let go!" ”
Kira was still amazed at the hole he had made, but when a brand-new spaceship appeared in his eyes, he was only stunned, how did a battleship fly inside the satellite?
But even more stunned than him was indeed Xiao Ran, who had just stood up from the ground, with an incredulous face: "This ...... Totally wrong......"
