"The gates are all given to you! Let's escape! "The god of fire was mighty, and at the staggered moment, he swept away the wings of a Dein. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 At the entrance to the Info bay there are Zaft's diving carriers lined up in a horizontal line, forming a blockade line on the sea.

At the same time, the submarines fired anti-aircraft missiles at the Archangel and its wingmen, who were also preparing to leave the combat zone. The Archangel met with an emergency evasion plus Baal**. Barely shot down those shells; The few wingmen in the sea below could not escape the disaster, and in an instant, the flames were blazing.

"Tsk!" Mu gritted his teeth as he watched the sinking battleship. At this time—

"There's a Duel Gundam in the rear!" A noisy report came over the radio, which surprised Mu. Turning his head, he saw that in front of him was the old enemy flying in the Gruul.

"Damn! I choose this time! "It's hard enough to deal with Dein or Jean. And one more X-Series——! Mu reversed the fuselage and launched the Flame God while flying towards the Duel Gundam. As long as you can contain the enemy plane for a while, it is good. Give the Archangel more time to escape......!

At this time, on the bridge of the Archangel - "Rurik can't move!" ”

"Rollo sinks!" Desperate reports rang out one after another, and the hull of the ship shook violently under the impact of the bullet.

"Sixty-four to seventy-two districts are blocked! The overall power is reduced to 43%! Say's return was overshadowed by Jackie's shouting.

"Jean is close to ——!"

"Wow——! It's over——! Kaz cried. Pal immediately yelled, "Calm down! Bastard! But his expression was also a little frightened.

"Wombat's missile launch! The engine is all open! Get rid of it——! Malu shouted with all her might. Her decision, which had lifted the spirits of the entire crew, was now filled with eager fear on every face. The clutches of death were stretching out, and the touch seemed to be behind it.

Finally, Norman, who was at the helm, howled, "Thrust down! The hull is not balanced! ”

- Can't escape ......? The expressions of everyone were all frightened, but at this moment, on the bridge window in the front, there was a Jean who had avoided the attack!

“——！” The air on the bridge condensed. Mirialia closed her eyes, not daring to look at the enemy plane with its gun; Norman's eyes widened instead, with an expression of disbelief on his face. Kaz had already left his seat, afraid that there would not be enough time for him to escape to the elevator.

At the same time—Malu stared through the glass, staring at the enemy. Under her gaze, Jean turned his gun on them.

- Is that the end ......?

All the things that had come along the way flew by in Malu's mind in an instant. They have endured so much - and they have paid such a terrible sacrifice, and now they are here waiting for the way to die.

She's so sorry for the crew. It's rare that they're willing to follow their half-toned commander all the way...... The efforts of her subordinates, but she could not repay them. The children also - they knew they shouldn't have taken them back then. It's not just Kira and Thor, but now everyone is going to be killed by her——!

- That's it......

Tormented by the thought of regret, she waited for the muzzle of her gun to erupt into flames—and suddenly, a beam of light fell from the sky, cutting off Jean's impending machine gun.

…………

"It's coming!" As Lin Yiyan's voice fell, a blue and white light instantly flew down from the sky and rushed into the battlefield in Alaska.

Snow-white limbs, gray and blue body, and four angular antennas on the head—very similar in appearance to the X Series, but not in common on the skeleton. The massive wings of the six staff spread out on its back, and the appearance of hovering in front of the bridge was like an angel descending to the mortal world to sanction humanity.

"It's a gorgeous debut!" Looking at the Freedom Gundam that was powerful on the battlefield, using his own weapons, and knocking down all the MS weapons regardless of the enemy, Lin Yiyan pouted, "Cut, this kind of thing ......"

Although Kira's Freedom Gundam was powerful, Kira didn't kill anyone on the battlefield after having her own beliefs. Neither the MS on the ZAFT side nor the other targets on the Earth Union side were destroyed, but the parts of the system that were used as weapons were blown to pieces by the laser bombardment.

While it made the combatants of both sides in those weapons feel great palpitations, they also feel deeply inexplicable. And then at this moment-

"Zaft, the Combined, both armies listen!" With the transmission of full-frequency communication, Kira announced in a clear tone.

"The cyclops is about to start, and the Alaska base is about to blow itself up! The two armies immediately stopped fighting and retreated as soon as possible! Repeat—"

"The cyclops is about to start, and the Alaska base is about to blow itself up! The two armies immediately stopped fighting and retreated as soon as possible! ”

At first, the people on the ZAFT side didn't believe it much, but—

The MS team, which had broken through the fourth gate with all their might, had penetrated deep into the interior of GrandHollow. As long as it seemed to be important equipment, they destroyed all of it, and in the process they saw hardly anyone trying to stop them. Have all the people who defended this place escaped? Or is it - there are also people in the fleet who hold such doubts, but the soldiers still take advantage of the situation to sabotage and continue to push inside.

And then - the MS closest to the center of the JOSH-A in the fleet, there was a mutation. After a brief buzz, all the displays went down. The driver looked around at the meters in surprise, only to see that they had all stopped moving. Is the battery running out——? No, how could it be that all the machines were shut down at the same time without half a warning message......

He began to feel a strange sensation in his body. As if his internal organs were suddenly oppressed—no, suddenly swollen—he screamed as he saw his body bulge like this "feeling". There was a feeling of internal organs approaching in the throat, and blood spurted like a column.

What's wrong? This ——? What happened?

- His thoughts stopped there. Because his brain has been boiled by strong microwaves. The drive wrapped in the driver's suit exploded in an instant. The force that caused the nuclei of these structural molecules to oscillate and destroy them radiated in all directions from a giant eye deep in the GrandHollow like a concentric circle that expanded instantaneously, as was observed by the Zaft ships on standby in the rear.

"Intense energy radiation detected underneath Alaska!" The operator gasped.

"It's ——?"

"Cyclops activate—!" Say's cry was almost wailing, echoing across the Archangel's bridge. Malu felt as if the blood was freezing all over her body. Thanks to Kira's cover, the whole ship managed to survive, but they were still too close to the base!

"Full speed! Retreat—! "There was no need for an order, the crew had already fought desperately against death. Under the influence of electromagnetic waves, a circle of blue-white light appeared in the rear of the base. Inside the light crown, the MS that had been active a moment ago suddenly stopped, and one after another fell to the ground and exploded; The building gradually crumbled and disintegrated like a sand tower.

The outlying Zaft MS team was shocked by this phenomenon and immediately tried everything to get away from the center of the explosion, some rigidly manipulating the Gruul and some turning the thrusters to the maximum. A Gruul at Jean's feet was caught up by the Grim Reaper's rays of light, causing it to stall and plummet. Kira's mech flew over at this moment, hooking Gene's arm firmly and pulling him to speed up violently.

The Archangel, which was already riddled with bullets, was also close to leaning, but still dragging the black smoke and turning on all the remaining engines to sprint at full speed. If any of the engines stopped at this juncture, they would be swallowed up by electromagnetic waves! The crew was all in a cold sweat.

The concentric circles began to spread from the mouth of the river, causing a vapor explosion on the surface of the sea in an instant. With a loud bang, the earth began to fall, leaving no building spared, and the rubble and smoke rolled up into a wave of air. - A strong explosion also appeared in the center of the base. The tongue of fire engulfs everything, but greedily devours it outward.

After the blast raged, only a large crater with a radius of nearly 10 kilometers remained. The hollow earth suddenly poured into the waters of the Arctic Ocean, and the large and small whirlpools pushed through the mud, which was not at all like what should be seen on earth; The scorching heat of the ground caused a large amount of steam to rise above the water, and colorful aurora lights appeared in the sky to dance wildly with the violent air currents, adding to the unreality of the scene.

-- Deployed in the Alaska Ocean on the Zaft dive carrier, everyone watched this scene in amazement. For a moment, the entire battlefield became silent. Then the two sides, completely out of the mood to fight, stopped tacitly at the same time and led the remnants of the army away from Alaska.

On a shore a little further away from that tragic situation, the Archangel almost hit the ground headfirst.

The crew was finally able to raise their heads and slowly look at the place where they had fled. The sight—it's hard to imagine that there had just been a fierce battle between man and MS—the endless desolation and emptiness that overshadowed Maliu's peace of mind and stirred up a chill of fear in the soles of her feet.

History does not need to be interpreted.

On this day, humanity committed the unpardonable sin of stepping out of the mothership and stepping on this rocky shore. Mu also stepped down from the Sky Lord, who landed next to the Archangel. Compared with the life-and-death battle just now, the sea breeze on the face at this moment felt extremely cold. Thinking of this, Malu realized that they had not set foot on the land for weeks.

The unknown MS also landed inland, not far from the ship, in unactivated mode - it seems that it also has the same PS system as the GAT series. The boy was dragging the driver out of Jean, who had fallen to the side. But the man seemed to have been affected by the microwave and died in a short time. I saw the young man slamming to the ground in annoyance. (To be continued.) )
