[Strike Gundam is ready to attack! 】
[Strike Gundam enters ejection orbit! 】
[The ejection track link is completed and the system is all green! 】
"The captain sneaks in secretly to attack the enemies ahead. During this period, I will protect the Archangel... Can all this go smoothly... Can I really protect the Archangel..."
"The captain said someone would help me. Are there other pilots on the Archangel?"
Kira recalled the conversation in the driver's lounge and nervously pressed the helmet closing button.
Facing the attack of four Gundams, it was normal for Kira to feel uneasy, and Aslan was also on the opposite side.
"Kira~"
"Milia?"
A familiar voice rang in her ears, and Kira looked up at the bridge video with a look of astonishment on her face.
"From today on, I will be in charge of guiding the mobile suits and the mecha fortress. Please take care of me!" Milia looked at Kira's anxious expression and couldn't help but smile naughtily at the end, and extended her hand to gesture!
"Please take care of me!" Before Kira could answer, Thor's voice came from the bridge video.
Listening to the familiar voice of his companion, Kira couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face, and the seeds of protection in the name of protection were quietly planted in his heart.

"Speaking of which, where has that guy Noel gone? Why is there no news at all?"
In the Laurasia-class battleship at the rear, Diaka, who had changed into his pilot suit and was waiting in the mobile suit to be dispatched, suddenly thought of Noel.
In fact, he missed Noel every time he went out, especially when he went out with Yitzhak.
With the existence of Yitzhak, a guy who likes to run wild, teammates like Noel who stay behind to provide support every day are simply not very good. They are safe and comfortable. You can trust him with your back.
But since he went on a mission a few days ago, Noel has disappeared inexplicably, and there is no news at all.
"That guy is definitely hiding from the mission in Helipolis!" Yitzhak from the Duel Gundam couldn't help but reply after hearing this.
"How is it possible, Noel...well, probably not."
After listening to Yitzhak's words, Nigel was about to speak out to help refute, but when he thought of Noel's various glorious deeds, he really couldn't say anything in defense.
What Yitzhak said is really possible!
"······"
Aslan and Diaka suddenly fell silent upon hearing this. That guy shouldn't be... right?
"By the way, did Noel arrange an escape route at that time? Did you receive a notice to pick him up?"
Diaka thought about the problem of Noel's response. Generally speaking, teammates would be arranged to respond to this kind of mission, especially in a situation where Heilipolis was blown up.
Without the support of his teammates, I really don’t know where he would have floated to in Orb’s escape pod. If he was accidentally picked up by someone from the Earth Alliance, I’m sorry, that scene is simply...
"Eh!? Didn't you receive the notification too?" Nigel was stunned. He thought he was the only one who had not received the notification.
"So... there was no response?"
Diaka looked at the people with different expressions, and suddenly had a bad premonition. He couldn't help laughing and said: "That guy is not still sitting in Orb's rescue cabin, right? You know that is Orb. The escape cabin, in case it was picked up by people from the Earth Alliance on the way..."
"After all, it is a mission assigned by Captain Cruze, and there should be a full set of people to handle it." Aslan frowned and replied.
The mission assigned by Captain Cruze was impossible to fulfill no matter how hard he thought.
"Noel has been unresponsive for so many days. Could it be that he is MIA?" Diaka couldn't help but ask.
"This is impossible! That guy is definitely hiding somewhere and lazing around."
After hearing Diaka's words, Yitzhak retorted angrily.
"Maybe it's because of the fall of Helipolis that the message couldn't be sent for a while. Besides, it's only been a day and it's too early to say that Noel is MIA."
Aslan also didn't believe that Noel would die in battle, at least not in such an inexplicable way.

Inside the Archangel~
"Load the special cannon and fire it while starting the engine! The target is the enemy Nazca-class battleship!"
After confirming that the Strike Gundam equipment was completed, Captain Maru issued the order according to the plan.
"Engine start!"
"Yangcheng electronic cannon—fire!"
Below the bridge, Lieutenant Bakki Lulu, who was in charge of combat command, issued instructions at the same time.
"Dududu~"
At the same time, a piercing siren sounded inside the Nazca-class battleship.
[The heat source in the front is solved! 】
[There is a huge heat source behind it, detection - battleship! 】
"Evasive action begins!"
Inside the battleship, Adis gave orders for the battleship to evade in an orderly manner.
"After discovering us, we launched in a hurry..."
Cruze smiled sternly, stretched out his hand to open the battleship's communication button, and ordered to the Laurasia battleship in the rear: "The MS team can be dispatched! I believe what you just said, Aslan Sara!"
"I will definitely bring you back..."
Memory fragments flashed through Aslan's mind one by one, that young and shy face...
"Aslan Sala—Attack!"
"Nicol Amalfi—"
"Diaka Elsman—"
"Yitzhak Jur—"
"Attack!"
[Detect the expansion of the rear battleship channel, and the MS team is dispatched! 】
[MS models - Aegis, Thunder, Duel, Storm! 】
The radar detector of the Archangel hurriedly reported the situation of the warships in the rear.
"Did they join the battle with all four captured machines..."
The worst-case scenario still happened. As Mariu, who participated in the entire G plan, he knew the combat effectiveness of these four MSs better than anyone else.
Coupled with ZAFT's MS pilot, the combat power it generates...
Even Second Lieutenant Bucky Lulu couldn't help but look uneasy.
"Did Kira hear that?"
Malu reached out to connect the Strike Gundam's communication and said: "There is a high probability that you will run into them directly after the attack, so be mentally prepared!"
"!"
After Kira finished speaking, he couldn't help but tighten the operating lever of the Gundam, suppressing the uneasiness in his heart and said: "Kira Yamato! Attack—"
In the house of house arrest, Noel slowly stood up from the bed, feeling the movement of the battleship.
He glanced at the starry sky outside the window and walked silently towards the Earth Alliance combat uniform lying aside.
In front of a small life, fighting and so on are not unacceptable.
"I hope they don't find me, otherwise..."
Noel put on his combat uniform, thinking about what would happen soon, but still felt a little uneasy deep inside.
I'm not Aslan. I don't have that guy's strong background, and I can still get away with it after shooting at friendly forces.
What if they discover his identity during the battle...
Driving the Earth Alliance's MA to attack the ZAFT army's MS, if this is discovered...
As for whether it will be shot down by Yitzhak and others, Noel said that compared to MS, it is not too easy to drive.
Besides, it's not like he went out and faced Hard Steel.
He is not too familiar with such things as fishing for a living. All he needs to do is float around the Archangel. Anyway, with the help of Kira's protagonist halo behind him, it won't be a big problem!
