Heliopolis is a traditional cylindrical colonization satellite. Outside the large cylinder, which is 32 kilometers long and 3 kilometers in diameter, three large yang energy plates surround the outer layer like flower petals. This large cylinder uses the centrifugal force generated by rotation to create gravity on the inner walls of the satellite.

The characteristic of "Heliopolis" is that it is an asteroid for resource exploration. When approaching the colony from afar, it feels like something has suddenly emerged from a huge rock block.

Aslan. Sara slowly approached the rocks. Surrounded by dozens of figures dressed in airtight suits like him, one by one, climbed up to the exhaust vents that led to the interior of the colony satellite. Aslan also climbed on the rock and glanced at his watch. The sound of his own breathing was very clear at this time.

When the watch displays a predetermined time, the monitoring mechanism at the exhaust port is switched off. After confirming this, they immediately slid into the exhaust port in a neat and orderly manner. According to the plan, after infiltrating the interior of the colony satellite without alarming anyone, it immediately dispersed neatly in all directions. Without any orders or questions, not even the slightest hesitation to grope in an unfamiliar environment, they meticulously followed the established plan, chose the main site of the factory area, and installed small black boxes.

As soon as the installation is complete, the count on the box surface lights up.

That number shows the time left until the explosion.

Space near "Heliopolis". Behind the asteroid there are two warships on standby, namely Zaft's Nazca-class "Vesalis" and the Lauya-class "Gamow".

On the bridge, Law? Rash? Holding a photo with a special MS on it, Kreuzer said to the captain beside him, "Don't be embarrassed, Ardis. ”

Hearing this, Addis's brow furrowed even deeper. "However, it is not too late to take action after receiving the Council's reply...... Captain. ”

And the question of Attis. Toil? Rash? Kreuzer calmly replied, "It's too slow." My instincts tell me; If we miss this opportunity, we will have to pay with our lives sooner or later. We're going to take the Earth Army's new weapon before it leaves there! ”

Turn around and float to your seat, Law? Rash? Kreuzer said coldly: "Moreover, does the current council have time to deal with such a thing, the recent performance of the East Asian Republic is a headache for those big people, not to mention those public official remarks against PLANT, embargoes, expansion of troops, increasing armament funds and the like, just adding eighty warships to L4 Nova, adding nine hundred MAs, and doubling the garrison of Nova." Just let those parliamentarians panic and talk about this and that all day long. The war potential of the East Asian republics is staggering. If you burst out with all your might, it will shock the world, all the big people of PLANT, all the energy is now on the side of the East Asian Republic, thinking about how to communicate with the East Asian Republic, and I should not disturb them for such a small matter. ”

"That's not good." Addis said with a wry smile.

Take out two bottles of drinks from your seat. Handed a bottle to Addis and drank a drink? Rash? Kreuzer frowned and said angrily: "There is nothing bad about it, the representative of the natural person who won our battle recently, Senior Colonel Liu Yi. No, it's His Excellency Major General Liu Yi now, but it's very beautiful. It seems to have the full support of the Liu family and the Zhou family. A series of arrangements for our PLANT, I have a headache when I look at it. ”

"Which big man said that even if he defeated Kaohsiung. The East Asian republics will not do anything for the sake of the overall situation, and at present, we have not defeated Kaohsiung. As a result, the Liu family and the Zhou family didn't even care about stabilizing the domestic people's livelihood, so they rushed out like crazy and prepared to destroy us, which is really very distressing. The entire East Asian Republic, led by these two companies, is very hostile to our PLANT. The pro-PLANT Li family was eaten to death in front of the two old hooligans of the Liu family and the Zhou family, and they couldn't do anything, and the entire East Asian Republic is now a large arsenal, fully preparing for battle, which is the so-called taking care of the overall situation. I'd really like to draw my pistol and let the big guy who made such a prediction eat it, and I'm sure his big mouth will be able to swallow my small pistol. ”

Fighting an Atlantic Federation, PLANT is very difficult, and even the sons of fifteen or sixteen-year-old parliamentarians such as Aslan, Diaca, Itsark, and Nigaul are sent to the front.

Now, the Atlantic Federation has not been cleaned up, and another East Asian republic has been added, even labor? Rash? Kreuzer was a little disappointed with the leaders of PLANT. Is there really no problem with such a strategy, such a leader, and a big man who can make such a mistake?

Do you still have an attempt to work on PLANT? Rash? Kreuzer was also very troubled.

Hear Law? Rash? Kruzer's words, Artis couldn't say anything. For the so-called big man, Ardis is also very resentful.

Peace, no, humanity does not need peace. Nor can there be peace in Orb, which is too much of an eyesore in the war-torn era. Looking at his own subordinates and the Orb Satellite Defense Force in the foreign war, Kreuzer thought coldly.

Heliopolis, Mine Area, Atlantic Federation Plan G Institute.

"Captain!" I heard a thick voice shouting from the trailer, Maliu. Ramias looked back.

Technician Cojero. Sergeant Madek's bearded face poked out of the window and yelled at her. "Then let's go to the ship first!"

"I'm sorry for you!" It was noisy, and Malu naturally raised her voice.

This is the ground facility of the Dawning Society. The men who were busy with the work around were all energetic, and they came and went very noisily. Among them, although she wears the same overalls as the men, the appearance of Marlu throwing shoulder-length chestnut hair to give orders is still eye-catching.

Malu is also one of the officers of the United Earth Army, twenty-six years old, with the rank of captain; Although she is the highest-ranking official in this group, because of her outstanding appearance, she will inevitably be invited by this kind. "Captain, when this is over, can you come with us for a drink?" It was like the last night in Heliopolis. ”

"Do you want to spend your last night in the confinement cell on charges of insulting your chief?" Hearing Maliu's answer to the young subordinate, Lieutenant Hamana on the side laughed heroically. "Fool, you want to chase this eldest sister, come back in ten years!"

Heliopolis Cosmoport.

"Electronic interference? It was Zaft's invasion. ”

"Those newbies. I guess I've already arrived at the Dawning Society. ”

"That's fine. Luke and Gale go to Mebius to be on standby! Don't go out just yet! ”

When the Kreuzer team attacked, it was a tall, lanky blonde man in his thirties who gave instructions to the ship's communications. His facial features are upright, but in such a tense situation, his spirit still has a bit of a childish atmosphere, and the corners of his mouth are still upturned as if playfully. After the instructions, he himself immediately went to the hangar. There are a series of MA - space fighters that do not fit in line with the cargo ship.

Although disguised as an ordinary ship, the crew of this ship were all soldiers, and the man in the black pilot's suit was Mu. Pull. Captain Foada, who bears the name "Eagle of Andymion". is the top pilot of the United Earth Forces. Their mission was to transport several prospective pilots to the colony satellite.

In a few moments, Zaft's MS "Keen" had already stormed the port.

Confirming the surprise attack of "Keane", Mu sent a message to the captain.

"Please sail! The port is suppressed, and we have to go out too! ”

Heliopolis, mining area.

The alarm of the attack of the Zaft ship should have arrived. Aslan and the others, who had invaded the interior of "Heliopolis", were using binoculars to observe the situation near the Aurora Factory. A chestnut-haired woman in overalls came into view, as if she was giving orders around her. From the gate that opened behind her, a tow truck carrying a large container was driving out.

Yitzhak said coldly: "It's the same as what Captain Kreuzer said." ”

Diaca sneered and said, "Poke and run out of the hole in a panic, right?" ”

“… That's it. Sure enough, it's stupid. Natural person. Yitzhak spat out this coldly and pressed the button of the communicator.

"It's time."

The counter went to zero, and explosions occurred in various parts of the factory area. The people who were blown away by the blast flow, and the equipment that was detonated and burned one after another. The rock crumbling inside the mine and the rubble poured down.

Almost at the same time, the MS, having broken through the port, began to attack the Aurora. The round-and-back bullets pierced the outer wall of the building, and the vehicle that was hit exploded. The explosion storm struck the people in the handling operation. Taking advantage of the chaos, Aslan and the others launched an operation.

With or without intention, the Atlantic Federation's troops in Heliopolis were beaten miserably by the Kreuzer team.

Dawning Society. Institute.

As soon as Kira, Thor, and Mirialia walked into the research room, Sai was in the same research group. Argyll looked up. Despite wearing tinted glasses and a brightly colored coat, his appearance is very rational and calm. He is a year older than Kira and others, and he is also the most sophisticated and thoughtful person among his classmates, and naturally often plays the role of a leader.

In addition to Say, there was another member of the same group, Casser. Pascalk, and another one Kira hadn't met. The man sat with his back against the wall, his hat lowered so that it was impossible to see what he looked like, and he could only guess that he was a teenager of Kira and the others, or a little younger. I heard that it was a guest of the professor.

While everyone was doing research. A sudden loud bang and violent swaying struck them.

"What?" "Meteorite?"

The teenagers left the room in a panic and walked towards the elevator. Then another almost untenable tremor struck. The elevator stopped due to unstable voltage, and the group had to walk to the escape ladder. When he happened to meet a staff member running up, Sai asked, "What happened?" ”

The clerk shouted, "We've been attacked by Zaft!" MS has run to the colony satellite! ”

"What?" Everyone was stunned in one room. Before they could figure out what was going on, they followed at the urging of the staff.

At this moment, the professor's guest, the golden-eyed boy who was standing beside Kira, turned around and ran in the opposite direction.

"Hey! You! In desperation, Kira chased after her.

"Kira!" Behind him came Thor's scream. Kira only said, "I'll go right away!" And he ran away.

Kira and the girl ran down the passage, and finally came to an open place. It's a skywalkway that juts out into a hangar-like space. Kira was trying to walk in the direction of the bomb shelter. The gunfire caused him to shrink his neck again. A fierce shootout took place downstairs. I could still hear the explosion outside. But the sight that caught her eye made Kira involuntarily stop.

"This ...... It's ......" a huge figure like a pagan god is lying sideways to the ground. Under Kira's gaze, it seemed as if it was about to move.

Iron-gray armor, like a head with four horns, a slender body. The shape is markedly different from Zaft's Jean.

"The new mobile weapon of the Earth Coalition Army... Sure enough..."The girl beside Kira gave up on her knees and knelt down. Her hands clenched tightly on the railing beside the walkway. Reluctantly, he cried out, "Daddy... Daddy is a liar! ”

Her voice echoed through the high ceilings, louder than expected. Kira caught a glimpse of a glowing object flying towards her, and immediately pulled the girl off the railing and jumped backwards. Shots rang out, and bullets grazing the railings without allowing a shot.

Kira ran as hard as she could to protect a girl, and finally reached the entrance of a bomb shelter. He pressed the walkie-talkie, and a voice rang out from it. "Is there anyone else out there?"

Kira replied with a sigh of relief, "Yes! And me and a friend. Please help us open the door. ”

"Two people?"

"Yes."

There is a brief gap in the intercom's answer.

"It's full. There is also a bomb shelter No. 37 in the left area, can you go there? ”

Kira turned her head to look at the left. To get there, you have to go straight through the shootout. If only one might be able to get by, but if she took the girl, Kira shouted into the intercom, "That." Just one is fine! Come on, it's a girl! ”

Perhaps it was the childishness in his voice and the word "girl" that played a role. After a moment of silence, an answer came over the intercom: "Well, I'm sorry! ”

The orange number that shows the lock changes from red to green, and the door opens. Inside is an elevator. Kira pushed the girl in hard.

She seemed to be prostrated and speechless before, but now she finally realized the situation in front of her. "What...... You......? ”

"Leave it alone! I'll go to the bomb shelter over there. It's okay! Fast! Kira closed the elevator. Through the glass, I saw the girl's mouth as if to say, "Wait a minute! But the elevator had quickly carried her to the bomb shelter below.

After confirming that the light had changed back to its original red, Kira ran out again.

Arriving at the hangar, Kira was shocked to notice that a Zaft soldier was aiming at the woman who looked like a soldier. So I couldn't help but shout "Back!" ”

Hearing the sound, Malu immediately turned around and shot the enemy. Then I looked up and saw Kira standing on it. "Is it a child......?"

Malu shot back at Zaf's soldiers, and yelled at Kira. "Come here!"

"I'm going to the bomb shelter in the left zone! Leave me alone! Kira said loudly.

But Maruch roared back. "There's only one door left over there!"

This made Kira stop. He decided quickly and without hesitation. He leapt down the aisle, causing Marlu's eyes to widen. The difference is about five or six meters. The agility of this movement is hard to associate with his gentle appearance, but Kira just lands on MS with such lightness.

Behind Malu, who stopped in surprise, a warrior fighting against the MS knocked out a Zaft soldier.

"Rasti! Damn it! Aslan, dressed in a red driver's suit, shouted. And point the gun at the one who took the life of his fellow man. The bullet presumably hit, and the man fell to the ground.

"Hamana!" At the moment when Malu called out the name, Aslan quickly turned around and shot her.

The bullet hit Malu in the shoulder. Blood was scattered. I don't know if it's jammed, Aslan lost the gun in his hand, pulled out his knife and approached Malu. Kira involuntarily ran over. Then......

"Kira?" It was Aslan, who was wielding a knife, who made this sound.

Kira looked at his face in surprise. The helmet was stained with the blood of the man from earlier. But under the reflection of the firelight, he can still see his facial features clearly.

We will definitely meet again......

“… Aslan? Unconsciously, Kira blurted out the name. Hearing this, Kira felt the other person's body shake.

In the green eyes that exuded a strong will, Kira's figure was clearly reflected.

The color of those eyes used to be Kira's favorite. The well-behaved face has become a little sharper as it grows, and it has become more stable and exudes a smart temperament. However, three years of time cannot completely erase the face of a close friend.

I didn't expect the two to meet again in this situation, and they couldn't say a word.

Taking advantage of this gap, Malu covered her shoulder wound and picked up the gun again. At the last moment, Aslan, who noticed the incident, had already jumped away. Shots rang out, and bullets streaked across the space where Aslan had just stood. Kira turned around in surprise, only to be hit hard by Malu and fall into the cockpit of the MS.

"Get to the back of your seat!"

Marlu instructed, turning on the MS system.

"At most... I can only let it move..."

The instrument panel lights up, and the humming sound of the driver gradually increases. The screen brightens, revealing the scenery outside. A figure in a red driver's suit flashed from the side of the Hotaru, and it could be seen that it was heading towards another MS.

Aslan... Aslan turned into a Zaft...?

How could there be such a stupid thing. The kind-hearted Aslan hates war the most, and it shouldn't have been him just now......

In Kira's eyes, who only felt that she couldn't keep up with these things for a moment, the strings that appeared on the screen shot in quickly.

Gerneral

Unilateral

Neuro-Link

Dispersive

Autonomic

Manneuver……

Kira's eyes reflexively read the six initials that glowed red. “GUN…… D、A、M……？ ”

As if given life, MS's eyes lit up and his fingers twitched. The engine roared low, and its massive limbs began to move stiffly. The steel bars that fixed the fuselage to the maintenance seat bounced off and flew away with the snapping sound of disintegration.

Like a toddler who has just walked; Despite an extremely choppy movement, the MS rose to its feet in the flames of the explosion. The light of the fire shone on the iron-gray armor, reflecting its vermilion towering majesty. (To be continued......)

PS: The clouds are clever, the flying stars are hateful, and the silver man is dark. As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win countless in the world.

Tenderness is like water, the best period is like a dream, endure the return of the Magpie Bridge. If the love between the two is long, how can it be in the morning and twilight!

Happy Tanabata Holy War Day! FFF regiment, burn! Burn! Burn!
