In the afternoon, the sun sets.
The blue water is swaying.
"That's the Minerva?"
"Hey, hey, this is a bit too miserable."
"Is this a collision with the main force of the Earth Alliance?"
The soldiers who were admiring the sunset discovered the battleship Minerva approaching slowly in the distance.
At this time, the Minerva no longer had the glory it had when it left.
The ship's hull is covered with traces of battle, and even now after emergency repairs, black smoke is still rising from several places on the Minerva.
On the broken plywood of the Minerva, two MSs stood on the left and right respectively.
soon.
With the help of the repair ship, the Minerva returned to the Kapantalia base port again.
at the same time.
In the hangar of the Minerva, Thalia and others arrived early with the crew.
The two non-activated machines gradually faded back to iron gray.
Noel and Aslan walked out in red uniforms.
"Identification number x487twe1101 - ZGMF-X23S Savior Gundam pilot Aslan Sala came to report. I'm really sorry for not reporting within the specified time!"
"Identification number zm754qe474 - Zgmf-x56s/l-01 trial model Destiny Gundam pilot Noel Cassia, who belongs to the same unit, is here to report!"
Because of Captain Thalia's arrival, the two made a routine report as soon as they stepped off the MS.
"Welcome you two, thank you very much just now."
Thalia was stunned for a moment, then raised her hand in salute and replied: "If you hadn't arrived in time, we might-"
"Captain, you don't have to be polite. If it weren't for the time we wasted, none of this would have happened. I'm really sorry."
Aslan had another view on this.
In other words, both he and Noel should bear the main responsibility for this incident.
If it hadn't been for him and Noel going to Orb to grab a wedding and not reporting in at the specified time, the Minerva would not have suffered the same disaster, and the Nila and Cambu would not have remained silent.
Listening to Aslan's answer, the crew members who were originally eager to come forward to chat became a little lonely.
The silence between the two submarines was really heavy.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Anyway, thank you for coming."
Thalia didn't dwell on the issue.
Speaking of which, if it weren't for my own willfulness, it wouldn't be like this this time.
Moreover, Noel and Aslan are both Faith members and have the right to act independently. In this case, it is impossible to hold them accountable even if they want to.
Compared to Aslan's attitude, Noel is relatively heartless.
Outside the crowd, Luna Maria, Asuka and others looked at Noel and Aslan in the crowd with somewhat complicated expressions.
Originally, in this case, they were going to get close to each other. After all, they were all members of the same team from now on.
But thinking about the situation of myself and others and the strength of the other party, I subconsciously didn't know how to move forward and start the conversation.
As the saying goes, if you compare goods, you will be thrown away, but if you compare people, you will die.
There is no harm without comparison.
Soon, the conversation at the front ended and the crew members left.
The Minerva has a lot of things that they need to deal with now, and they came here largely just to thank them for saving their lives.
Noel and Aslan discussed the maintenance of the mobile suit with the soldiers in the maintenance squad.
Although neither of their bodies suffered any damage, routine maintenance was still necessary.
"Hi-hoo!"
At this moment, Luna Maria took a deep breath and walked towards Noel and Aslan.
"Luna?"
Shin Asuka looked at Luna suspiciously.
But looking at the direction Luna was walking, Zhen Asuka followed her.
Upon seeing this, Lei pondered for a moment and then walked up.
"Mr. Aslan, Captain Noel."
Luna walked up to Noel and Aslan, smiled at them and said, "Thank you so much this time. If you hadn't come, I don't know what I would have done."
"This problem originally arose because Noel and I did not report on time. Speaking of which, we should apologize to you."
Aslan replied quickly after hearing this.
Noel was speechless about Aslan's character and simply didn't know what to say.
Do you think Aslan is right? It is indeed true, but if you want to say it is wrong, it seems that you can say it is wrong, but you cannot say this, so you just stand and wait for him to deal with it on his own.
Besides, he really didn't know what to say.
"Mr. Noel, long time no see."
Ray approached Noel.
"Long time no see. Are you... not injured?"
After hearing this, Noel suddenly remembered that the MS driven by Lei seemed to have been knocked into the sea.
"No big deal."
Lei shook his head. Although the MS was seriously damaged, the cockpit was well protected by him, so there was no physical injury.
"It's okay, otherwise I wouldn't know how to explain it to Speaker Durandal."
Noel smiled and replied after hearing this.
"Eh?"
"Speaker Durandal?"
"What's the meaning?"
Aslan, Luna and others were all stunned. What does this matter have to do with Speaker Durandal?
Only Lei's eyes narrowed and he remained silent.
"hehe."
Noel smiled slightly when he looked at the situation in front of him, patted Lei on the shoulder, and said to Aslan: "Aslan, if there's nothing wrong, I'll go over first."
"Let's go together."
Aslan replied, he picked up his suitcase and smiled at Luna: "See you later."
"Wait, I'll bring you—"
"Wait a moment!"
Suddenly, just when Luna was about to say something, Shin Asuka, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke and stopped the two of them.
"real?"
"Um?"
Aslan and Noel both stopped and looked over.
Facing the gazes of the two people, Zhen Feiniao's expression gradually became a little tangled. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said to the two of them: "Thank you for your help!"
"Um?"
Aslan was stunned, but repeated: "You're welcome."
"hehe--"
Noel smiled playfully and said nothing more.
But it is indeed a bit rare to be able to say this sentence from the mouth of a flying bird.
Noel and Aslan looked at each other, smiled, shook their heads and turned to leave.
"Captain Noel, Aslan!"
Just as the two were about to leave, Zhen Asuka stopped them again.
This time, the two of them were confused.
Even Luna and Lei looked at Shin Asuka with doubtful expressions.
"Really, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Aslan felt that there might be something wrong with Zhen Asuka, so he asked directly.
"Captain Noel, I want to have a practical MS combat test with you!"
"What?"
"real!?"
Luna and others were startled by Shin Asuka's sudden request.
"Can."
However, unexpectedly, Noel agreed directly.
"Noel?"
"Captain Noel?"
"Is that okay?"
Zhen Feiniao also had a look of astonishment on his face. He thought he would be rejected, but he didn't expect that the other party would agree so decisively.
"Why not? But can I hear your reason?"
It was not particularly surprising that Noel made such a request to Shin Asuka.
And he is also willing to accept this kind of competition. After all, this guy's attitude of always being the second best is really a bit unpleasant.
It would be quite cool to find a chance to beat him up.
"I want to know the difference between you and me."
When Zhen Asuka said this, his expression looked particularly determined.
Asuka's desire for power has actually reached the point of paranoia.
"Uh, okay - but not until we get the Gibraltar base."
Noel was stunned for a moment, thinking that this guy could say something else, but in the end——
I'm overthinking it.
As for why we have to arrive at the Gibraltar base before we can compete.
The reason is very simple. During the mission, even Noel can't do this kind of thing. In other words, it is impossible for this kind of private MS competition to pass the military order.
Do you really think that ZAFT is owned by your family?
