The Chapter get Retranslated
Just as the Archangel's preparations were nearing completion, interference was detected again on the bridge.
In the CIC Combat Information Center, Communications Officer Dalida quickly reported to Natarle.
"Interference detected again within the colony!"
Mu stood up from his chair.
"Looks like we don't have to wait to break through."
Natarle said with a troubled expression,
"Are they really planning to open fire inside the colony?"
"Heh, even worse, we can't fire freely, but they can do whatever they want…"
Mu tried to make light of the grim situation, then contacted the maintenance team to inquire about his Mobile Armor's repair status.
In this situation, their available combat power was truly limited, but this thought was based on the premise that Mikazuki hadn't appeared.
He felt that the battle he had just witnessed wasn't Mikazuki's full extent. Mikazuki was very strong, and the decisiveness revealed in his fighting style was definitely not that simple.
"Ask Miss Murrue how the discussion went. Can that boy pilot the Strike Gundam for sortie?"
The communications officer on the main bridge replied,
"It's been decided. The Strike can sortie. Lieutenant Ramius is on her way to command."
Speaking of the devil, Murrue entered at that moment.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. What's the situation now?"
The CIC sent images to the main bridge screen.
"Identifying model, it's a GINN… Wait, that's heavy bombardment equipment for attacking fortresses. Do they intend to completely destroy Heliopolis?"
Mu, in the CIC, turned pale after seeing the equipment carried by the GINN.
"That bastard Le Creuset…"
Such a insane order, one didn't need to guess who issued it. Another communications officer at the rear console spoke again.
"Wait, there's another Mobile Suit behind the GINN. Model is GAT-X303, the stolen Aegis Gundam."
A red Mobile Suit appeared on the screen. Everyone's expressions turned grave. Murrue said with a stern face,
"Has it been put into actual combat so quickly? They're very confident in themselves. No matter what, we cannot be sunk. Archangel, ascend!"
Murrue quickly connected to the maintenance team's comms.
"Chief Petty Officer Kojiro, how are the Barbatos's preparations?"
"Final adjustments haven't been made yet… Hey! Wait! Boy! Your equipment isn't ready! Damn it, Captain, that boy piloted the Mobile Suit out! The equipment's not stable, especially the smoothbore cannon; it hasn't been adjusted and could backfire!"
"What?"
Mikazuki piloted the Barbatos onto the deck. The Archangel had already left the ground, and the outside scenery was moving downwards.
The Barbatos, equipped with modified swordfighting equipment, looked up, its eye monitors gazing at the satellite's outer wall in the sky.
"One, two… four units?"
"Hey, Mika, the Barbatos's equipment isn't fully adjusted. The fittings aren't meant for the Barbatos, so there's some instability and it'll drift. The smoothbore cannon is the most critical; you can only fire it about nine times. One more shot and it'll explode."
"I know."
Mikazuki glanced indifferently at the equipment status displayed by Orga.
At this moment, three GINNs broke through the outer wall and entered the satellite's interior, with a red Gundam among them.
"That's… the stolen one."
Mikazuki's eyes narrowed, a hint of excitement seeming to flash within them. Ignoring Kojiro's shouts from behind, he increased thruster output, and the Barbatos's eyes lit up as it burst out of the Archangel.
Murrue saw the Barbatos launching from the catapult deck. When she tried to notify Mikazuki, she realized she didn't know the Barbatos's communication channel.
She watched worriedly as Mikazuki charged towards the four Mobile Suits, one of which was a Gundam.
"Kira-kun, can you hear me? How are the Strike Gundam's launch preparations?"
"No problem, it's ready for sortie."
Although Kira didn't want to be involved in the war, he was the only one on this battleship who could pilot the Strike. Coupled with Murrue's persuasion and seeing the Barbatos launch, Kira finally decided to take the Strike into battle. He wanted to protect his comrades on this battleship.
"Kira Yamato, Strike Gundam, launching!"
The Strike Gundam, also equipped with swordfighting equipment, left the catapult deck, following closely behind Mikazuki.
Mikazuki connected to the Strike's communications and said,
"You protect the Archangel, I'll handle them."
"Eh? But… are you really okay by yourself?"
Kira, upon seeing the red Mobile Suit, had actually thought of the familiar figure he'd seen amidst the gunfire, Athrun Zala.
To be honest, he was scared. If that Mobile Suit was really piloted by Athrun, what would he do?
Mikazuki seemed to have seen through his thoughts. He turned his head and glanced at the Strike, replying,
"It's fine, just leave it to me. You just stay near the Archangel. There might be some stragglers; you can take care of them."
Hearing Mikazuki volunteer for the front lines, Kira felt a strange sense of relief in his heart, perhaps because he wouldn't have to face Athrun.
"Okay!"
With that, the Barbatos turned, and blue flames erupted from its thrusters, accelerating at an extreme speed towards the ZAFT MS team.
Athrun Zala and his comrades, Miguel Aiman and two other GINNs, noticed Mikazuki's Barbatos. Miguel frowned tightly.
"Is that the Mobile Suit? The one that trashed Commander Le Creuset's CGUE? Really?"
Seeing Mikazuki charging alone towards the four Mobile Suits, Murrue connected to the Strike's communications.
"Kira-kun, why aren't you following the Barbatos?"
"Uh… Mikazuki said he wanted to handle them alone and told me to stay here to protect you all."
Everyone on the bridge was speechless.
"What? Alone against them?"
