"Model locked! 'Aegis Gundam', 'Storm Gundam', 'Thunder Gundam', 'Duel Gundam', 'Gates'!"
He came anyway.
In an instant, the pair of arms holding the bird in his palms appeared in Kira's mind.
It was a pair of hands with well-defined muscles and muscles that were bigger than when he was thirteen years old.
"Get ready to fight submarines and mobile suits—!"
Malu's voice jumped out of the communicator, and his high-tension tone interrupted Kira's memories.
"Just get rid of the enemy! It may not be easy, but I wish you all good luck!"
"ECM maximum intensity! Smoke discharge pipe projection! Smoke screens discharged from both sides!"
Kira drove the Strike out of the upper deck, and the "Strike Gundam" equipped with heavy artillery equipment knelt down on one knee, pulled up the external power cable from the Archangel's hull, and connected it to the "Fire God".
"Connect the conduit lines, connect the auxiliary power supply, and the preparation is complete."
As the startup prompt sounded, Strike activated the PS armor system.
The Flame God Cannon can now receive power supply from the mothership, so even if it fires multiple rounds, there is no need to worry about running out of power.
As the aircraft in front approached, the smoke grenades launched by the Archangel exploded in the air. The exhaust pipes on both sides of the bridge released thick smoke. The two merged into smoke and gradually disappeared from the hull.
"Don't be so nervous, just support the Strike Gundam from the air."
After Mu finished speaking calmly, he heard Thor respond with a slightly nervous "Yes!"
"Let's go! Don't fall down!"
Two Air Dominators flew out from the linear catapults one after another. Mu's No. 1 aircraft carried a "flying-wing attack equipment" and Thor's No. 2 aircraft carried a "giant sword-type attack equipment."
Kira watched the No. 2 unit disappear through the smoke, but it was still hard to get rid of the uneasiness in her heart.
"Tsk, this thing is a bit troublesome."
Noel looked at the thick smoke ahead and frowned slightly.
Smoke was useless in previous battles, but since the deployment of neutron jammers, it has become useful.
Due to the influence of neutron interference, ordinary radars are difficult to use. Even radars mounted on ships will be affected, let alone single-purpose radars mounted on MSs.
In fact, the best solution to this kind of interference is fire coverage.
It's a pity that the five mobile suits can't cover the firepower effectively, and they just waste energy.
"boom--"
Suddenly, just as Noel was distracted, a beam of light shot out from the smoke screen and passed by the five mobile suits.
"What!?"
"Cio!"
"spread!"
Several people were jumped by this sudden attack.
Noel was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. The cannon just passed past his body. Noel even seemed to feel the high temperature of the Flame God Cannon.
"Where did this guy aim from!"
Noel forcibly raised the machine body and looked around the smoke. It was absolutely impossible for an attack with such accuracy to be stupid, and neither was the Son of Destiny!
Therefore, Strike Force must have something that can detect their location, but the good news is that its accuracy doesn't seem to be very good.
"——This is Sky King Thor! Call Strike Gundam!"
On the other side, Thor, who was flying an Air King for the first time, looked a little panicked. He forced himself to be calm and shouted into the communicator: "Now send the enemy plane's coordinates and shooting data!"
"Copy that!" Kira sat in the cockpit, his sight also blocked by smoke.
However, with the support of Air Overlord, although there is a certain delay, the attack can still be launched.
"Didi——"
"Snapped-"
Looking at the transmitted data, Kira suddenly narrowed his eyes, unplugged the external power source of the Flame God, and activated the PS armor.
He accelerated towards the direction of the smoke and jumped out.
"What!"
The sudden appearance of the Strike Gundam startled Yitzhak and Diaka.
However, their good psychological quality allowed the two to immediately raise their guns and fight back.
Several beams of rays hit the strong attack.
But the two of them were emergency attacks after all, and the Strike Gundam turned around and gently dodged the two's rays.
"boom--"
During the attack, the trigger of the Flame God Cannon was pulled, and a beam of light burst out from the cannon, straight through the aircraft at Yitzhak's feet.
"Damn it!"
Yitzhak, who was out of action, cursed angrily and shot at Kira as he fell, but it was impossible for such an attack to hit with precision.
"Yitzhak!"
Diaka glanced at Yitzhak who fell into the sea, assembled a long cannon with his backhand and fired towards the attack.
But the distance between the Storm Gundam and the Strike Gundam was too close, and he couldn't even aim effectively before being attacked by the attack, so he could only fire a hasty shot.
"boom--"
With the violent impact of the attack, the Storm Gundam driven by Diaka also fell into the sea following Yitzhak's footsteps.
"PiuPiuPiu——"
At the same time, above, Noel is approaching quickly in Gates. When Strike was about to destroy the Diaka aircraft, several beams of light were fired from the beam rifle, interrupting Strike's attack.
As long as there are aircrafts, Yitzhak and Diaka can at least get up!
Facing Gates' attack, Strike Gundam had to stop and turn around to avoid it.
"boom--"
However, while the Strike Gundam was dodging, the Flame God Cannon in its hand still did not stop attacking.
"Hiss, this accuracy————"
When the attacker raised his hand, Noel had already evaded it in advance, and Gates barely managed to avoid the attack in a spin.
Noel was really frightened by the attack. It was outrageous that the bombardment emitted when the machine was rotating could have such accuracy!
"Bang bang——"
However, Noel did not stop his attacks during the reconsideration.
Two hook claws flew out of Gates' body and grabbed the Strike Gundam.
"boom--"
"What!"
However, the hook claw did not catch the strong attack. Instead, a beam of light from mid-air directly destroyed one of the hook claws. Although the other hook claw survived, it also lost its accuracy in the explosion.
The strike also landed in the direction of the smoke at the same time.
"I've been keeping an eye on you—Noel Cassia!"
Mu's voice came from the public channel.
Also appearing together was a beam of light.
However, the target of this beam is not Noel, but the Storm Gundam that is about to board the aircraft.
"boom--"
"Damn it!"
The aircraft exploded, and Diaka, who was just about to get on the aircraft, cursed angrily and sank to the bottom together with the wreckage of the aircraft.
"Do you think I don't exist?"
Noel looked at the Air King who was returning and flying away, cursed angrily and chased after him with Gates.
"Stop!"
At the same time, Aslan and Nigel chased after them in the Holy Shield Gundam and Thunder Gundam, and opened fire on the Strike Gundam.
"I-huh!?"
Just as Noel was catching up with the Sky King in Gates, a white ship silhouette slowly emerged from the smoke.
"boom--"
A flash like distant thunder was followed by a huge beam of light that cut through the thick smoke.
This is the main gun of the Archangel.
However, this attack was not focused on annihilating the enemy, but was mainly for support.
"emission!"
Following Lieutenant Bucky Lulu's roar, the missiles that had been filled flew out from around the Archangel.
Faced with such a density of missiles, the three of them had no choice but to retreat and not dare to move forward.
Kira returned to the deck and quickly removed the heavy artillery equipment. Although the battery still had power, judging from the current battle situation, it was better to switch to wing equipment.
When Noel and others destroyed all the missiles, the Strike Gundam had already completed the change.
With the roar of the propeller, the attacker rushed towards the three people with weapons in hand.
"Do you really think I'm a green-headed soldier?"
Seeing the 1V3 attack, Noel felt bad all over and rushed forward with an angry curse.
Your individual strength is indeed stronger than ours, but you are too disrespectful.
1V3! who do you think You Are!
In the blink of an eye, the beams of light flew together.
The three machines work together ingeniously.
When the Strike Gundam attacked the Thunder Gundam, the Shield Gundam and Gates used rifle rays to contain it.
Facing the two attacks, Strike Gundam raised his shield to defend.
"ah!"
Nigel roared and projected a chain after getting a breather.
This is Thunder Gundam's unique three-armed system, which integrates a 50mm high-energy beam rifle, 3-pack ultra-high-speed moving body armor-piercing projectiles, a beam saber, and a left wrist claw-shaped anchor (wolf lock)
"昘——"
However, what responded to him was the Strike Gundam's sweeping slash, and the spearhead was directly split into two.
At the same time, it quickly approached the Thunder Gundam.
Nigel's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw this. The beam saber popped out from the front of the shield attack system and rushed over to face the strong attack.
In terms of melee combat, Nigel isn't too bad.
"呲——"
Beam sabers burst into flames as they clashed.
With the help of the seamless conversion of the shield attack system, the Thunder Gundam and Strike Gundam barely managed to reach a stalemate.
But this stalemate will soon be broken.
Once Strike Gundam gets used to the shield attack system, Thunder Gundam will be in crisis.
"Nichol!"
Aslan, who wanted to support, was unable to participate in the support due to the constraints of the Archangel and Air King.
