Gundam SEED: Poetry of Tomorrow

Chapter 36 The Collapsed Land

"middle!"

When the screen loses the last image.

Ino used her memory to forcefully throw out the strong magnetic hook lock that she had prepared.

The Assault Chain Hook was accurately placed on the Assault Gundam's waist. Kira, who was still worried about killing the enemy aircraft, suddenly felt a strong pulling sensation coming from the outside of the aircraft.

bang~
The next second, the chain hook tightened instantly.

The turbulence caused by the rapid leakage of air due to the collapse of the inner wall also hit the entire colonial satellite at this time.

The powerful drag force pulled the Strike Gundam directly down.

"Ino!"

Michelle, who was still dazed, was also swept away by the strong wind.

Aslan looked at the sudden change and quickly stepped forward to catch Michelle who lost control.

But when he was about to look for Strike Gundam and Ino, he found that their bodies had been swept high into the sky by the strong wind.

He could only watch helplessly as the MS suspected to be piloted by Kira disappeared into the turbulence together with Ino's body.

Rumble!
Collapsed buildings and vehicles were flying in the air like dead leaves.

The tongues of fire spurted out by the explosion could be seen everywhere, but they couldn't even retain the air for them to burn, and they quickly disappeared into the universe.

All the air-raid shelters suddenly shot out and became escape boats in the universe.

"Wow ah ah ah-"

Kira cried out sadly. Faced with this powerful airflow, the Strike Gundam dragging the remains of an aircraft was unable to resist at all.

The roofs of the surrounding buildings were blown off, the glass was shattered, and the roads were torn apart. There was a real darkness behind, with a wide open mouth.

The turbulent flow continued to shake the fuselage. Kira used the force to activate the thrusters in an attempt to stabilize the fuselage. However, the remains of the fuselage hanging below and the airflow sweeping toward the outside were not something that the Strike Gundam could resist.

Soon, the two mobile suits connected by the chain hook were rolled out at the same time.

"Captain Cruse, Heliopolis——"

Seeing the disintegrated Heliopolis, Adis couldn't help but stand up from the command chair, looking at Cruze's back with eyes full of uneasiness.

The colonial satellite is gone.

However, in the front where Adis could not see, a smile gradually appeared on the corner of Cruze's mouth.

In the driver's lounge of the Vesalius, Diego and others also saw the collapse of Heliopolis.

At this moment, even Yitzhak could not help but feel solemnity and a little bit of intolerance on his face.

But that trace of unbearability was quickly suppressed by Yitzhak.

Heliopolis was very lucky that there were no survivors of Bijunius.

"Huh, what a boring farce!"

Recalling Junius' tragic situation, Yitzhak snorted and turned around to leave.

"Itzhak?"

Diego looked at Yitzhak who turned around and ran away after saying that, and couldn't help but look surprised. He didn't know what illness this guy suddenly had.

"Aslan, Ino... you must be safe."

Nigel stood in front of the screen and worried about the safety of Aslan and Ino.

The original Heliopolis successfully turned into cosmic dust under the pull of gravity.

I do not know how long it has been.

woohoo~
The alarm in the cockpit kept sounding, waking up Ino who was knocked unconscious.

Patting his dizzy head hard, Ino's vision gradually changed from blurry to clear.

Looking at the instrument panel with the flashing red light, Ino couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile on his face: "It's really over now."

I originally thought of relying on the Archangel to escape from the battlefield, but now...

"Michelle, you really hurt me——"

Ino smiled bitterly as he spoke and turned on the distress signal.

Although I don't know what my next fate will be, this is the only thing I can do.

But that’s okay, at least I’ve done everything I should and could do.

As for whether it was worth it, Ino actually didn't know.

If you think about it from your own perspective, it's definitely not worth it, or even stupid.

But if you think about it from another angle, there is still some value in doing so.

At least he proved that he could use his own power to change things in his memory.

The so-called established destiny can be completely changed, which is very comforting in a sense.

And his life is not in danger.

When blocking the knife at the end, Ino carefully chose the position where he would be struck. There was basically no danger of being struck to death by the knife.Moreover, if you break away from ZAFT, you will not be betrayed, and no one dares to say that you betray ZAFT.

As for whether it will become a mobile coffin.

This is also impossible.

Heliopolis is a resource-based residential satellite. When it is broken, even the warring parties PLANT and Earth United must choose to rescue it.

The only uncertainty is that I don't know where I will be picked up. I hope it won't be ZAFT.

"It's just why I always feel like I've forgotten something..."

While his thoughts were wandering, Ino always felt that he had forgotten something.

what is it--

[X105 Strike Gundam, please answer——]

In the cockpit of Strike Gundam.

The communicator had been repeating the same call for a while.

However, the only sound that could be heard in the cockpit was Kira's rapid breathing.

Heliopolis has turned into this...

Not long ago, the ground he was firmly treading on was now shattered and scattered.

Rubbles mixed with metal pieces floating in space, as well as familiar signs and parts of buildings, were wandering before his eyes.

No matter tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, daily life that I thought would never change turned out to be so fragile.

"...X105 Strike Gundam! Can you hear me? Please answer!"

The voice on the other end of the communication machine was filled with anxiety, but Kira couldn't think of an answer.

suddenly--

"……Kira Yamato!"

Kira woke up suddenly when she heard her name. It was the voice of the female noncommissioned officer—Captain Malu.

"If you can hear me,...if you're still safe, please answer me, Kira Yamato."

"Ah...yes, I am...I am Kira."

Kira replied hurriedly after turning on the switch of the communication machine.

Kira was still grateful to Captain Malu, because she allowed herself and her companions to have a roof over their heads in this desperate place.

That's right, companion, Thor and the others are still waiting for me to go back——

At this moment, Kira gradually regained her mood.

"are you OK?"

There seemed to be a hint of relief in Ma Liu's voice, and Mr. Mu's cheers could also be heard in it.

"Yes."

"Do you know our location? Can we come back?"

Kira pursed her lips after listening to Captain Malu's words, and held the joystick again with both hands: "I can do it."

"Well, then come back, we will wait for you."

After speaking, Captain Malu gently hung up the communication, and then he sat back in the command chair exhausted, and the uneasiness in his heart finally subsided.

"I just said don't worry too much."

Mu saw everything in his eyes and couldn't help but smile and said: "That boy is very powerful."

"I don't know who was in a hurry just now, and now you've jumped out again."

Captain Ma Liu couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw Mu Na's careless appearance.

"interesting····"

Mu Wenyan smiled awkwardly.

"It's time to go back."

In the cockpit of Strike Gundam.

Kira grasped the operating lever with both hands and prepared to return to the battleship.

Although I am very worried about the safety of my parents, now I have not looked for their abilities and methods. The only thing I can do is to assume that they have escaped safely.

Drop drop-

At this moment, two electronic sounds sounded in the cabin, and a certain message was displayed on the screen.

"This is a distress signal... one of them is below me?"

It was also at this time that Kira discovered that there were two distress signals near him, one of which was right next to him.

As the screen stretched, Kira's mouth gradually opened wide due to the images reflected on the screen, and she couldn't help but murmur: "Is this... ZAFT's MS!?"
