The Chapter get Retranslated
The smoke and flames dissipated, and the Aegis reappeared in view. Protected by its PS armor, both the mobile suit and the pilot were still alive.
But its current appearance was certainly disheveled. A huge crack appeared in the outer armor of the mobile suit, just a hair's breadth from blowing open the cockpit inside.
Kira, piloting the Strike next to the Archangel, seemed to see a face that was both familiar and most terrifying through the mobile suit's cracks. His face changed.
"Athrun..."
Barbatos landed on the center outer deck in front of the Archangel's bridge, and Mikazuki muttered,
"Was the power still a bit lacking? I thought I could have finished him directly."
Indeed, this so-called PS armor was tricky. But his battle once again shocked everyone.
He really did it. With only five solid rounds, he took out a GINN and heavily damaged an Aegis. Although the Aegis wasn't destroyed like the GINN, Murrue and the others felt that the Aegis was still alive only because the weapon's power was insufficient.
If they had given Mikazuki more powerful ammunition...
Athrun looked grimly at the mobile suit standing on the long leg. Just a little more, and he would have been dead.
Was that mobile suit's pilot a madman? Such a reckless fighting style could get him killed if he wasn't careful. He glanced down at the energy meter; because of blocking the explosion just now, the energy, which was originally a little more than half, had now dropped to a critical point.
"Retreat first. Take the battle footage back... this guy... is very dangerous."
The Aegis transformed into an MA and left the satellite. Mikazuki didn't pursue, as his thruster fuel was also almost depleted.
Unlike the Gundams here, whether it was the Aegis or the Strike, they were powered by battery packs, including their thrusters.
The Barbatos's overall mobile suit energy was provided by two Ahab Reactors, giving it semi-permanent power, while its thrusters required separate fuel.
In other words, the Barbatos was a mobile suit that didn't need to worry about energy; it only needed to refuel its thrusters.
At this moment, Natarle's urgent voice came through,
"Barbatos, why aren't you pursuing?"
Murrue, who was sitting in the captain's chair, and Mu, along with Mikazuki in the Barbatos, all frowned. Mikazuki said coldly,
"How do I pursue?"
"Uh..."
"My thruster fuel is depleted. Should I chase by running? Are you out of your mind?"
"Then send the Strike..."
Hearing the conversation getting out of control, Murrue quickly interrupted, addressing Natarle in the CIC,
"Calm down, Natarle. The Strike is our last Gundam.
I know you're anxious about the Gundam being stolen, but now is not the time to lose composure. Impulsiveness and recklessness are major taboos on the battlefield."
Natarle took a deep breath,
"My apologies, I lost my composure.
I'm sorry, Mikazuki Augus..."
Mikazuki didn't respond to her; he had already hung up the communication.
Orga, who had been silent due to maintaining communication with the Archangel, spoke up,
"Mikazuki, you were too reckless. You actually took that shot head-on. Were you so sure he would fall for it?"
"Yeah, my intuition told me he would. Because he was agitated."
"Ha, you... what if Barbatos gets damaged?"
Mikazuki showed a faint smile, patting the screen in front of him.
"This guy isn't that fragile."
"Until today, on the Barbatos, I truly felt your fighting style. It's too terrifying. No wonder old man always complains about you; you're just too reckless.
Forget it, Barbatos is your mobile suit, do as you please."
Orga sighed helplessly. He could never do anything about Mikazuki, whether in the past or now.
Just then, an anomaly occurred. The satellite suddenly shook.
The entire satellite sounded a red alert. The Archangel's computer immediately analyzed the information.
"This is bad. Heliopolis's bridge has been completely destroyed by ZAFT's anti-colony weapon attack. The satellite is starting to disintegrate."
"What?"
Everyone's faces changed drastically. Their greatest fear had come true...
The entire Heliopolis began to disintegrate as predicted. Various shelters within the satellite turned into escape pods, detaching from Heliopolis and taking the successfully evacuated people to new colonial satellites for refuge.
Due to the disintegration, much of Heliopolis's outer wall had disappeared, revealing the vacuum of space outside. Mikazuki hurriedly gripped the Archangel to avoid being sucked out into space and separated from it, otherwise he would have no fuel to return.
Kira in the Strike was not so lucky; he was directly sucked out...
Mikazuki frowned when he saw the Strike being sucked away but had no intention of saving him.
Nonsense, he was just sucked out, it's not like it would explode or anything. Kira could handle it completely. A Gundam couldn't be that fragile, could it?
Half an hour later, the Archangel appeared in space. On the other side, satellite debris and escape pods continuously appeared. Heliopolis had completely disintegrated, leaving only a huge ruin.
When Kira opened his eyes in outer space, he saw the boundless sea of stars and space. He stared blankly at the disintegrated ruins of Heliopolis. In the distance, a red signal seemed to flash continuously...
