A journey through the Gundam world

After thinking for a moment, Gina ordered him with a serious expression.

"Alex, I authorize you to pilot the Heretic to escape on your own in an emergency. At least you must save one machine for Orb."

This order was a complete surprise for Alex.

With this order, he was piloting the mobile suit as ordered, rather than stealing it.

"Yes!"

After the communication ended, he opened the door and waved to Cagalli who was puffed up outside.

"Okay, it's your turn, Miss Cagalli."

Although she was angry at his behavior, Cagalli also knew her priorities.

So an angry Cagalli walked into the communications room and dialed Chisaka's contact.

"Miss Cagalli!"

Chisaka was visibly relieved to see her on the screen, and then he saw Alex behind Cagalli.

"Thank you very much Alex. I will arrive in Heliopolis tomorrow."

"When you come tomorrow, Heliopolis probably won't exist."

Alex lazily said something that made Chisaka feel incredible.

"What happened to Heliopolis!"

Alex then told Chisaka what might happen.

"how come……"

Chisaka felt unbelievable about what he said, but the credibility of what came out of his mouth was still very high.

"That's it, Chisaka, tell father these things quickly! Heliopolis cannot be destroyed no matter what!"

Cagalli said anxiously from the side.

"I understand, I will tell Uzumi-sama."

"I have contacted the Heavenly Pillar, but it will take time for them to arrive. I can only say that I hope Heliopolis can hold on before then."

What Alex said made Chisaka feel at ease.

Although it seems that the attack on Heliopolis is inevitable, as long as the colonial satellite does not disintegrate.

Then casualties can be kept to a minimum and everything can be saved.

After hurriedly ending the communication, Alex put his hands on his hips.

"Okay, the next thing is to wait."

he asked suddenly.

"Cagalli, are you hungry?"

"Hey?"

Unexpectedly, he would suddenly jump to this matter, and Cagalli couldn't help but yell at him with a pinched neck.

"It's been so long and you still want to eat! You..."

But the thunderous sound in her belly made her blush and stop talking.

And Alex was happy.

"Let's go, I'll take you to have a nice late-night snack."

An hour later, Cagalli and Alex were sitting at a late-night snack stall in Heliopolis.

Cagalli, who had a bowl of steaming ramen in front of her, stared blankly at Alex, who was slurping the noodles.

"Let's eat. The ramen here is very good, and the oden is also very authentic. It's a pity that I haven't found any delicious noodles after coming here for so long."

He sighed.

"I don't know if I can still eat this ramen after tomorrow."

Looking at the other person's skillful ordering and the way he was chatting and laughing with the boss, it was obvious that he was a regular customer.

Cagalli couldn't believe that this man had just been having a serious discussion with her about the life and death of millions of people in Heliopolis.

She couldn't help asking.

"Aren't you nervous?"

Chewing the noodles in his mouth and swallowing, Alex smiled.

"Even if the universe is going to be destroyed tomorrow, you have to have enough to eat first, right?"

"What kind of weird theory is this?"

"This is my hometown. There is an old saying in the East Asian Federation, 'You must be a dead ghost even if you die.'"

"What a strange thing to say."

After muttering something, Cagalli felt suddenly relaxed for some reason. She picked up the ramen with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth.

After chewing and swallowing, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"good to eat!"

Then, without a ladylike image, he started to eat.

Looking at her relaxing, Alex smiled.

As the two began to feast at the late night snack stall, Alex, a fluttering moth, flapped his wings.

The world line has changed...

Originally, the Cruze team was dispatched to L1 on January 24 because it was said that the Atlantic Federation was secretly building military satellites here.

But this was actually wrong information. On the way back, they received information about the Alliance mobile suits discovered by spies in Heliopolis.

So on January 1, Kruse arbitrarily sent out a strike force to seize the G-plan airframe.

However, this time Team Cruze received an order directly from ZAFT's top brass and came to investigate the intelligence of the Alliance's new mobile suit in Heliopolis.

At this time, they had arrived at the outskirts of Heliopolis, and with the help of the cover of the asteroid, they had not been discovered for the time being.

The time at this time was January 1rd, a whole day earlier than the original time.

After getting in touch with the spy, the other party took a small shuttle and left the satellite to join Cruze.

"Captain Cruze."

On the bridge of the Nazca-class battleship, the Vesalis, Kruse saw the spies who had infiltrated Heliopolis.

"Thank you for your hard work, how are things going now?"

After getting a more detailed report on the Atlantic Federation's activities here from the spy, Kruse fell into thinking.

According to spies' reports, the Atlantic Federation's secret mobile suit development plan here has entered the final stage.

If a large number of coalition forces hadn't suddenly gone to Heliopolis to attract attention, they might have been able to complete it secretly and successfully transport the machine body away.

In the current situation, although conclusive evidence was obtained, it also alerted the other party, causing the Atlantic Federation to not only strengthen its alert, but also speed up the transfer.

After some thought, Kruse made a decision.

"Addis, report the situation here to your country and tell us that we will take action immediately."

"Yes...ah? Captain, do you want to wait for the country's reply before taking action?"

Captain Frederick Addis, who was wearing a black uniform, said somewhat uneasily.

"My gut tells me it's too late. If we let it go now or miss the opportunity, we will one day pay the price with our lives."

As he spoke, he flicked aside the clear photo of the Duel Gundam provided by the spy.

The photo flashed across Addis's cheek and was caught by Aslan.

Looking at this clear photo of the mobile suit's head, the expressions of the people in red became serious.

They have already experienced the power of MS, but they were the only ones who had MS before. Now, the Union Army has also developed MS. This is a dangerous signal.

Cruze looked at them with a masked face.

"The Earth Army's new mobile suits must be captured before they are transported away! This task will be left to you."

Aslan and others immediately saluted Kruse.

"Yes! Guaranteed to complete the task!"

Chapter 29 Respective plans

According to the improvised plan, they will secretly sneak into Heliopolis, use bombs to destroy the battleships secretly manufactured by the Atlantic Federation in the asteroid, and create chaos.

At the same time, the Cruze team sent out mobile suits to launch attacks from outside the colonial satellite to contain the Orb army.

In order to cooperate with the infiltration force to successfully seize the MS, the MS team will also enter the colonial satellite to cooperate with them.

After successfully capturing the mobile suit, Team Cruze immediately evacuated.

After deciding on the specific actions, the two ZAFT warships immediately took action.

Five red elites, Aslan, Yitzhak, Diego, Nicol, and Rusty, serve as the designated pilots and commanders of the robbery mission, leading the infiltration force operations.

If they are killed, the other pilots in green accompanying them will serve as backup.

At this time, the benefits of comprehensive training at ZAFT Military Academy were shown. These pilots are fully qualified even if they are used as special soldiers.

Especially the five people who have been trained by Alex, Cruze has great trust in them.

In the previous battles, they had already shown their fighting prowess worthy of the red clothes.

This is why he dared to attack Heliopolis so boldly with just two battleships.

"I didn't expect that we would attack here."

Rusty said to the others as they put on their gear.

"This is the instructor's hometown, right?"

His words made the movements of the other people's hands a slap in the face.

Yitzhak turned around and replied angrily.

"What are you thinking? Instructor, he has returned to Orb's homeland on Earth."

After a pause he added.

"Moreover, Orb's neutrality in developing mobile suits for the Union Army is really ridiculous. There are obviously so many adjusters in the country."

"I'm sorry, instructor, but we are ZAFT's soldiers."

Diego pulled the bolt repeatedly to confirm the condition of the chamber.

Rusty shrugged what Yitzhak said and stuck out his tongue at Nigel.

The green-haired boy smiled softly.

Although Aslan looked serious and said nothing, he couldn't help but think of his childhood friend Kira and the instructor wearing an eye patch.

They are all in Orb and don't know what the situation is.

After being fully armed, they and others who cooperated with the operation entered the stealth landing craft.

This small boat is specially designed for secret infiltration operations. It is painted with low visibility as a whole and can carry 9 people inside.

There is absorbing coating on the surface to avoid radar scanning.In addition to conventional thrusters, the propellers mounted on the tail also have two cryogenic propulsion devices dedicated to covert operations.

There are 5 deployable airbags on the bow of the boat, which are used to slow down and land. They are also in low-visibility colors.

After being prepared, the two ZAFT warships immediately started and approached Heliopolis.

The small boats have limited endurance, so they have to get close enough to launch at a certain distance.

Just as they were dispatching, a Marseille III transport ship was sailing towards Heliopolis.

"Behind, ZAFT Nazca-class battleships and Laura-class battleships are approaching!"

On the bridge, the CIC nervously reported to the captain.

Immediately, the entire ship sounded a battle alarm, although the Marseille III was not armed as a transport ship.
