Gundam SEED: Poetry of Tomorrow

Chapter 80 The awakened Aslan
"Large heat source discovered, signal identified - it's the Archangel!"

"Wow, Captain's intuition is indeed very sharp."

Inside the hangar.

Aslan, who had just boarded the MS, soon heard the news from the bridge.

Listening to the conversation of his companions, Aslan's mind unconsciously flashed through Kira's face, his father's words, and his mother's tombstone——

"Athrun Sara, Holy Shield Gundam—attack!"

If you can't protect what you want to protect if you can't fight, then you can only fight——

Determined, Aslan rushed out of the Vesalius in the Aegis Gundam.

Montgomery, who noticed the enemy ship a little later, also sounded the operator's call.

"The heat source is approaching! Six mobile suits! Five Keen, and - Holy Shield!... It's the X303 Holy Shield Gundam!"

The operator's shocked voice made Captain Copeman hold his breath for a moment.

After just a moment's hesitation, he immediately ordered to the correspondent: "Let the Archangel reverse and escape - we urgently dispatch the mobile fortress MA troops!"

"What, what did you say? If you can't meet, what's the point of coming here?"

When George Alsta heard this, he quickly protested from the side.

However, Captain Copeman yelled back stiffly: "If that battleship was captured here, wouldn't it be even more meaningless!?"

"This--"

George Alstad was speechless.

At the same time, the Archangel also confirmed this fact.

"——There is a Holy Shield Gundam!?"

Ma Liu listened to the report coming from the front, and her clenched hands couldn't help but tremble a little: "Holy Shield Gundam... So is the Nazca-class ship on the opposite side?"

The battleship that was like a ghost and couldn't break free, constantly giving them suffocating pressure, made Ma Liu very uneasy.

"Montgomery is calling! Abort the assembly, the Archangel will turn around and leave immediately!"

"But Fleur's father was also on that ship..."

Sai couldn't help but raise his voice.

Malu lowered his head and pondered, and finally made up his mind: "Even if we turn around now, there is no guarantee that we will be able to escape - the entire ship is in the first combat position! The Archangel is going to cover the advance team!"

Facing the troop that was always chasing him, Ma Liu knew how difficult the opponent was.

So instead of continuing to run away like a prodigal dog, it is better to rely on the advance team here to have a head-on confrontation with the opponent.

Woo~!

[Everyone takes the first fighting position! 】

[Repeat it again, everyone is in the first combat position! 】

Everyone, relieved by the arrival of the advance team, was awakened by the Archangel's siren.

The soldiers woke up from their deep sleep and rushed to their respective posts without looking back.

in the room.

Ino, who had closed his eyes to rest, opened his eyes at the sound of the alarm, picked up his coat, stood up and walked out of the room.

As he passed in front of Lux's room, the door clicked open.

"Ino?"

Lux exposed half of her cheek from the crack in the door, looking up at Ino with a pair of big eyes in confusion.

"Mr. Ino?"

Later, Kira also arrived: "Miss Lux?"

Kira also saw Lux emerging from behind the door.

"Mr. Kira, Ino, what happened? Why did you suddenly become so noisy?"

There was a hint of doubt on Lux's delicate cheeks.

"Mr. Ino, I'll go over first."

Kira saw this and did not stay any longer. She nodded towards Lux and ran towards the driver's dressing room.

After watching Kira go away, Ino smiled at Lux and said, "If you see it, ZAFT is coming."

"Zaft is here?"

Lux had a surprised look on her face.

"Well, you should go back quickly and don't come out and run around."

Ino said, pushing Lux's body back.

Originally, this matter seemed to be Kira's fault, but it ended up being his own head.

"Etc., etc!"

Lux quickly stretched out her hand to hold the door, turned around and looked at Ino with her clear light blue eyes: "Then Ino, do you want to go out and fight too?"

"of course."

Ino nodded, then ignored Lux's surprised look, pushed her in, and then locked the door.

"It's okay Fleur, we'll get there too."

"But father—"

"Don't worry, I will try my best to fight and protect him." After Kira said that, he stretched out his hand and opened Fleur's hand that was holding his sleeve, and ran quickly towards the dressing room.

Fleur's expression was still uneasy, but she could only watch Kira fly away silently.

When passing by Fleur, seeing the anxiety and prayer on Fleur's face, Ino paused slightly and then directly passed Fleur and chased after her.

Ino, who knew the approximate future, knew very well that Fleur's uneasiness would eventually become a reality.

As for whether to stop it——

Outside, as Ino climbed aboard Keene and prepared to go.

The Holy Shield Gundam driven by Aslan has arrived at the battlefield.

"Aslan, let us see what the performance of your mobile suit is like."

"What you said is so evil, don't hold back, Aslan——"

Facing the banter of battle coming from the cockpit, Aslan just replied with a faint "knowledge".

In fact, he wanted to determine Lux's life or death as early as possible, and he also didn't want to fight Kira -

but--

[If we cannot protect ourselves without fighting, then we must choose to fight! 】

[We are fighting to protect ourselves and PLANT! 】

His father's words made Aslan's confused eyes sharpen.

In front.

Mobius has already deployed.

Beep beep!

A radar-locked siren sounded in the cockpit.

In a blink of an eye.

Four missiles separated from Mobius and flew towards the Holy Shield Gundam.

piupiupiu!

Rumble!
But the next second.

The Aegis Gundam pulled the trigger, and the two missiles were shot down by the beam midway.

While the body flipped to avoid the remaining two missiles and bullets from the opponent, the Fire God Gatling mounted on the head of the Holy Shield Gundam fired golden bullets, knocking down the two missiles.

In the light of the missile explosion.

The Holy Shield Gundam accelerated and rushed out.

Looking at the two Mobius in front of him, Aslan pulled the trigger with sharp eyes.

Five shots later.

The two Mobius instantly turned into fireballs in space.

The performance and driver's ability are completely different, as well as the determination of the heart.

Aslan no longer had any thoughts of mercy.

piupiupiu——

The beam rifle shoots countless beams.

Each Mobius and the missiles fired by the opponent sparkled in space like fireworks.

"The Hill team is completely destroyed!"

"Kado team is completely destroyed!"

"..."

"What did you say!?"

Inside the Montgomery, Captain Copeman couldn't help shouting when he heard the report from his subordinates: "Both teams were wiped out?"

The two sides were in direct contact for less than 5 minutes, and both teams were completely wiped out?
"The Holy Shield Gundam is approaching——"

"Frigate Luo destroyed!"

However, the suffocating report did not stop. As his subordinates reported, Captain Copeman couldn't help but look suspicious of life.

5 minutes, one frigate, two teams - did I not wake up?

outside world.

Aslan's sharp eyes only saw the enemy, as well as the beams and escort missiles fired by the opponent.

However, facing the enemy's attack, the Aegis Gundam driven by Aslan flipped and pranced like a petrel in the rain.

The beam rifle in his hand swept away the missiles in front of him.

The body of the Holy Shield Gundam flipped over and turned into a large square shape.

boom!
The next second was almost the moment the opponent's frigate noticed that the radar was locked.

A giant high-energy beam called the Kraken was fired from the front of the Holy Shield Gundam.

The beam went straight through the belly of the frigate ahead.

In a burst of flames and silence, the Aegis Gundam transformed into its MS form and rushed towards the Montgomery without looking back.
