The frozen old beach.
Milia spread the colorful 'flowers' in her hands into the distance.
Junius 7 On the sea that solidified into angry waves, small colorful flowers fluttered.
There was once a place where people ran, laughed, grew and breathed just like them.
On the frozen land or in the ship, people prayed silently in unison.
Maybe they were just trying to appease their consciences, but at least they all felt they should do it.
It is a cemetery, it is the earth - the mark of their natural human sin.
Noel stood at the back of the crowd, his eyes watching everything in front of him without any emotion.
[Beep beep beep! 】
On the other side, the warning siren sounded loudly in the cockpit of the "Strike Gundam" responsible for security.
Kira, who was in a daze, quickly checked the screen.
I saw a moving object opposite the gravel belt not far away, and the signal was detected at the same time - MS!
A nervous feeling like an electric shock ran through Kira's body from the soles of his feet, and he quickly controlled the attack and hid behind an abandoned building.
At the same time, the computer quickly confirmed the model.
The text that popped up on the screen showed that the opponent was - "Keane" who was forcefully reconnaissance and re-seating.
"Why at this time!"
Kira gritted his teeth and cursed secretly. The material transportation of the "Archangel" has not yet ended. If "Kean" discovers it and calls for support...!
Thinking of this, Kira couldn't help but pull the beam rifle's sniper telescope to her eyes, and her sights were already locked on Keen, who seemed to be looking for something.
The locking beep sounded, and the words indicating shooting were in front of him, urging him to press the trigger quickly.
(Go away...go away quickly...don't find out...don't look at anything and leave this space quickly!)
As if hearing Kira's prayer, "Keen"'s propellers spurted out fire and was about to leave the place.
However, not long after Jean went out, it turned around and came back as if it had discovered something again.
Kira glanced at the screen in surprise and found that the work boat of the "Archangel" broke into the other party's field of vision.
"Damn it! Why should you notice!"
While Kira was stunned, Keen raised his beam rifle and started shooting directly.
Fortunately, the two bullets just missed the boat and did not hit directly.
"Bang~"
Just when Jean was about to shoot again, Kira's finger pulled the trigger, and a beam of light penetrated straight through the body of "Kean".
The flames of the explosion illuminated the surrounding area.
"Thank...thank you! Kira!"
Kaz's voice jumped over the loudspeaker, obviously frightened too.
"I almost thought I was going to die!"
"What happened to Strike Gundam..."
The communication from the "Archangel" was cut in quickly.
However, Kira did not answer, and just turned off the radio roughly.
His eyes silently looked at the land destroyed by the Earth Army in the distance and the monument to the tortured Adjusters.
Just as he was about to close his eyes and pray, Noel's figure appeared in his mind.
The eyes staring at the earth like a dead person made Kira stop his movements.
Looking at the Adjuster Monument in the distance, thinking about what I have done, am I qualified to pray now?
He was associated with the United Earth Army who carried out this massacre, and was forced to fight with soldiers who were also adjusters.
With such a person, I am afraid he is not even allowed to pray for his compatriots...
Thinking of this, Kira couldn't help but lean on the driver's seat bitterly, her faith wavering.
[Beep beep beep! 】
Just as Kira was thinking wildly, the electronic alarm sounded again.
"There are still enemies!?"
Kira suddenly looked up and looked around.
But this time what was shown on the screen was not an enemy plane, but an emergency signal flashing - an escape hatch!
······
PLANT Cemetery.
Aslan looked at the cemetery with petals flying in all directions, his eyes wandering.
There is a tombstone in front of him.
Lenoa. Sarah CE33～70——This is the tombstone of Aslan’s mother.
But there is no body under this tombstone, just like all the victims of Junius 7.
In fact, Aslan and Lenoa Sara did not spend much time together, but that short time was indeed the best family time in Aslan's life.
She tried her best not to be overly doting on him, but still showed her warm affection to him.
So even though they were separated by two places, Aslan didn't feel uneasy about it.
He was always proud of his mother who did a great job.
But outstanding talents like her and many relatives whom others cherished and loved were all taken away from their lives at that moment.
This is war!
——We fight to protect ourselves...
——Since we can’t protect without fighting...
——Then there’s only one battle left...!
The words that Patrick Sala had just sung came alive in Aslan's ears and impacted his soul.
Aslan once again confirmed his will.
······
In the hangar of the Archangel, there was an escape boat that was towed back after being discovered by Kira.
"I asked you, why do you always like to pick up things randomly?"
Looking at the unique standards on the rescue capsule, Second Lieutenant Bucky Lulu's voice was mixed with a little bitterness and a little boredom.
How many times has this happened?
Okay, not a few times, but how come you can pick up the life capsule every time?
Wasn't it enough that you picked up an adjuster from the Orb-marked life capsule last time?
This time it was even more fierce, and he directly picked up a rescue capsule with the ZAFT logo for me!
Kira was also speechless about this. His character and temperament meant that he could not turn a blind eye to the rescue cabin.
Malu and Flagg looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh a little.
The mood of the two of them at this moment was like the parents of a child who wanted to take home an abandoned dog when they saw it, helpless and speechless.
"I want to open it!"
Not far away, Madek operated the cabin lock and shouted.
The soldiers on standby raised their guns and took aim at the same time.
【Hello, hello...Hello! 】
The locked door opened, and a silly voice floated out along with a pink ball.
With its ears flapping like wings, it seems to be a pet robot.
The officers and soldiers who had been waiting in full array were all dumbfounded now. Could they just pick up something like this?
If Noel were here, he would definitely be able to recognize the owner of this thing at a glance - Lux Klein!
But now he was driving the work boat to search for something on Junius.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Just when the soldiers were stunned, a delicate voice suddenly came from the cabin door.
Everyone couldn't help but look back in surprise.
The light pink color filled his vision, and the soft long red hair and long skirt were floating like waves. Kira couldn't help but blink hard.
What appeared from the hatch was a girl about the same age as Kira.
Pink and snow-white skin, a gentle and lovely face, and a smile that makes everyone who sees her feel happy.
The girl floated in mid-air like a soap bubble, looking beautiful and dreamy.
"Ouch...Ouch?"
Lux's eyes flickered after she came out, and she couldn't help but froze for a moment after looking at the environment she was in. Then her body seemed to float away due to inertia, which scared her so much that she kept dancing in the air and screaming.
Kira was startled when she heard the sound, and quickly floated up to grab Lux's slender wrist, stabilizing her.
"Thank you."
Lux smiled at Kira.
Gazing at those blue eyes as gentle as the clear spring sky, Kira's face suddenly turned red.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Lux's eyes stopped on Kira's uniform badge.
"……that?"
She looked around, and then said in a somewhat uncertain tone: "Excuse me...is this... ZAFT's ship?"
After a while, everyone who recovered from Lux's appearance could not help but sigh deeply.
This is stupid...
