"Lux!"
"Fleur!"
Liberty Gundam and Savior Gundam arrived at the Main Angel hangar.
When I got off the MS, I saw Lux, who was wearing a pink driving suit and always had a warm smile on her face.
And Frey Alstar stood next to Lux, wearing a joint command uniform.
"Aslan, Kira."
Her long pink hair swayed, and Lux turned back with a smile.
Fleur also stood side by side with Lux at this time.
"Let's not talk about old times for now. Let's solve the problem at hand first."
Lux smiled elegantly and pointed to the two MSs that had been prepared in the distance with the help of logistics personnel.
"That's freedom?"
Kira looked at the familiar appearance of the machine and couldn't help but look at Lux hesitantly, with deep doubts in his eyes.
"Well, ZGMF——X20A Strikes Freedom."
Lux smiled and nodded, then pointed to another machine and said: "ZGMF-X19A Infinite Justice, this is the machine that belongs to you and Aslan."
"But--"
Kira murmured and couldn't help but ask: "Why?"
When he first heard the message from the Lord Angel asking him to return to collect the body, Kira was filled with doubts.
Assault on freedom? Infinite justice.
You can guess some clues from the names. These two mobile suits are obviously enhanced versions of Justice Gundam and Freedom Gundam.
But why?
Why did Lux give them these machines?
More importantly, when did Lux prepare these machines?
For what purpose did she start preparing?
Amidst all the doubts, Kira looked at Lux with doubts and confusion in her eyes.
"Meaningless use of power will only create more tragedies, but having empty ideas without the power to implement them is also a tragedy. Both theory and power are indispensable."
Lux explained her position in simple words and answered Kira's doubts.
'Terminal' is not a clown who only talks about things.
He never claims to be a righteous and upright person.
Whether it is stealing or forceful intervention, intelligence spies, even if they are wanted, are defined as KB elements, aliens, and are not understood or accepted by others.
The Klein faction of Lux can also use any means to achieve their goals and follow their own path.
"And they will also bring you the power to penetrate the concept."
Lux had a rare serious look on her face.
When you want to do something but can't do anything, the powerless pain and despair are enough to make most people fall into the abyss.
"Thanks."
Kira suddenly felt relieved after hearing this.
Didn’t he already know this already, so why should he be surprised?
Lux's path is correct, and it is true that in order to realize her ideals, she needs strength.
On the right path, using power correctly - in this way, there is nothing to be confused about.
With this thought, Kira smiled at Fleur, then turned and walked towards Strike Freedom.
"Aslan?"
Walking to the MS, Kira found that Aslan was still standing there.
Aslan did not answer Kira, but stood there and turned to look at Lux.
Facing Lux's gaze, Aslan asked the doubt that had been hidden in his heart for a long time: "Lux, can I really only be a warrior?"
Use sweet words as bait to give powerful power.
It's all so familiar.
So, all I can do is fight.
Although he knew it in his heart, Aslan was not willing to live just as a sword or a weapon.
"It's always you who makes the decision, isn't it?"
Facing Aslan's doubts, Lux replied calmly: "You may be a warrior, but you are also Aslan Sara. You can be who you want to be."
"You are a self-aware person and have never been anyone's tool. You should have understood this from the time you escaped from the Gibraltar base and came here."
Aslan suddenly laughed after hearing this.
yes.
Being a warrior and preserving oneself are two different things. Although they cannot be confused, they do not have to be in opposition.
Even if they don't become warriors, Cagalli and Kira's views or attitudes towards themselves will probably not change.
To Durandal, Aslan was of no value unless he was a warrior.
Regardless of Aslando's unwillingness to use his killing power, it was meaningless in Durandal's mind.
However, Cagalli, Kira and Lux understood. They all knew how much Aslan hated that kind of power at this moment.
What would happen if I refused this power at this moment—when Orb was burned in the flames of war, when Durandal was trying to take over the world?
Justice is right in front of you. If you insist on not taking up this sword, you would rather watch everything be closed and let others decide.
Even if others can forgive Aslan Sara, he himself cannot.
Should people really be confrontational?
How can we stop this war and thwart the Speaker's intentions?
After all, is this right? Aslan still could not think of an answer.
But some things still have to be done.
No, it should be said that it was what he wanted to do no matter what.
Aslan stared ahead with determination as the aircraft moved forward on the ejection strip.
"I……"
I have things I want to protect.
There are truths that must be revealed.
Especially to that young man - he still knows nothing, blindly follows the people he believes in, and blindly conquers the enemies revealed against him.
There's still time - there's still time.
Kira couldn't help but laugh as she watched her friend board the Justice Gundam.
After turning around and nodding towards Fleur and Lux, Kira also sat in the cockpit of Strike Freedom.
[Aslan Sara, Infinite Justice - Move out! 】
[Kira Yamato, Assault on Freedom——Deploy! 】
After briefly familiarizing themselves with the operating system of the aircraft, with the help of the ejection device, the two piloted the new aircraft out of the Archangel and flew towards the distant battlefield.
"Discover MS - Heat Mark Comparison...This, Freedom Gundam and Justice Gundam!?"
Inside the Minerva, the radar monitor habitually reported on the battlefield situation.
However, a sudden appearance of an aircraft body made the radar monitor confused.
"Um?"
"What you're yelling about——"
Arthur was just about to criticize his subordinates.
As a result, a screen cut over.
"What the hell?!"
The next moment, Arthur spoke beautiful words.
"Arthur!"
Thalia, who had always been prepared, was aroused by Arthur's foul language.
"No, Captain, look at this."
Arthur switched the MS image directly to the screen of the command chair without any nonsense.
"Um?"
Thalia was slightly startled when she saw the two machines that suddenly appeared.
The appearance was very familiar, the Freedom Gundam and the Justice Gundam. Even though their appearances were slightly different from the original ones, she still recognized each other's identity at a glance.
Reminiscent of the Covenant Gundam piloted by Noel Cassia.
So, are these two new machines with performance comparable to Eternal Covenant, or comparable to Destiny Gundam?
