Gundam SEED’s Final Destination

"She was caught by Kruse—"

Noel, who had finished packing the potions, stood at the door of the cockpit and shouted back.

"Noel?"

"It's him!"

"It's you!"

Greetings in different tones came from below, Aslan and Kira were stunned, Archangel was confused and angry.

Malu looked at the man slowly descending from the covenant. The scene of the Sky Overlord crashing suddenly flashed in his mind. He couldn't help clenching his fists, and even couldn't help but look at the firearms in the hands of the Orb soldiers beside him.

However, after seeing Noel's young face and the camp he was in, Malu sadly found that he did not have the courage to raise a gun and shoot.

Noel killed Mu Unforgivably, but he was just a soldier. In that situation where the two sides were completely hostile, it was life and death.

And what qualifications do I have to blame him now? In what capacity do you blame him?

There are many compatriots and enemies who have died because of him. After all, he and Noel are the same people, the same poor people who have military orders and have to kill with guns.

Recalling Kira's words, Malu closed her eyes and turned around to withdraw from the crowd.

"Mu, I am exactly what you said, I am a weak person..."

Noel also noticed Captain Malu's leaving figure. Looking at the direction in which she disappeared, Noel said in her heart that she didn't feel guilty.

If it was purely against Mu La Flagg, then Noel could say that you and I will kill every enemy we encounter.

But Captain Malu, if it weren't for her on the Archangel, he might have died on the Archangel.

"Noel, why are you here?"

Aslan was completely unable to understand the meaning of Noel's appearance.

It was because he had orders to recapture the Freedom Gundam or destroy the Freedom Gundam.

But what about Noel? Is he the same as me?

"I'll return the favor to Kira and save you by the way." Noel replied straightforwardly.

He can't be allowed to say that he is trying to save Orb. If he is stupid, he can just think about it. If he really wants to say it, he will be regarded as stupid.

"Thanks."

Kira looked at Noel with a complicated expression for a moment.

————

"But this is too..."

Obuyu Neng Qi Lunei's MS accommodates Kunei. After listening to Kira's explanation, Aslan couldn't speak anymore.

He was attacked because he was unwilling to help either side and wanted to remain neutral.

From ZAFT's position, he certainly does not want Orb to join the coalition camp.

But if you look at it from a third party's perspective, Orb's choice is a bit unreasonable. Ideals are important, but if it leads to the destruction of the country, isn't that putting the cart before the horse?

Of course, Kira also understood this, but he just nodded quietly and said: "Well, I know it will be hard, but I agree with Mr. Uzmi's choice."

Cagalli came over with a drink cup, ready to hand it to the two of them.

But after seeing Fleur behind her, she silently handed one of the cups to Noel.

"Thank you." Noel said thank you casually.

"You're welcome. Speaking of which, I still want to thank you. If it weren't for your help, we might... Anyway, on behalf of Orb, I would like to thank you for your help!"

Cagalli said and bowed to Noel to express her deep gratitude.

It didn't matter what Noel's purpose was, it was a fact that he helped Orb.

"The future will be even more difficult, so come on."

After speaking, Noel silently lowered his head and took a sip of water.

He wasn't very familiar with Cagalli, he just knew that there was such a person, but now it seemed that this person was pretty good.

"I know, but I won't give up! I believe my father is right!"

Cagalli looked resolute and replied decisively, with a firm light shining in her eyes.

Noel opened his mouth after hearing this but did not answer. He just lowered his head again and took a sip of water silently. Can't this topic be skipped?

In the hangar where they were talking, maintenance work on the MS was being carried out urgently.

Freedom Gundam, Justice Gundam and Covenant Gundam stood side by side behind the three of them like witnesses, but the three-shield attack system was gone.

"Orb is helping the Earth Army, so the Atlantic Federation will definitely use its power to attack Plant."

"If you choose to support ZAFT, the result will be the same. The only difference is that you change the enemy...that is something you can't do anything about."

Kira looked directly into Aslan's eyes and said slowly.

Aslan looked at Kira's clear and firm eyes, and couldn't help but be surprised. Has Kira, who used to be soft and weak, become so firm without knowing it?

When Noel heard this, he couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Kira. What he said was reasonable.

However, there is a loophole in this statement. If Orb chooses the Atlantic Federation, the ZAFT army remaining on the earth alone will not be enough to attack Orb, or in other words, it will not be enough to attack Orb who is allied with the Atlantic Federation.

Unless Plant continues to land in the air, in that case it will be difficult for Plant to follow up on the battlefield.

"I've had enough of this, so I made a choice."

"choose?"

"Well, I'm going to fight to stop the war, even if the hope is slim."

"Is this why you fight?"

The conversation between the two continued.

But for some reason, Noel always felt a little familiar and angry when listening to Kira's words.

"I killed your partner, your friend..."

Kira suddenly said this fact, causing Aslan to involuntarily awaken the memory that pierced his heart.

"Um?"

Noel couldn't help but raise his brows when he heard this, and looked at Kira with a frown.

Kira doesn't know that Nicol is not dead?

Did Lux ​​neglect to tell him, or did she deliberately hide it?

If it's the latter, then Lux...

Aslan also looked shocked.

"But I don't know him, and of course, I don't want to kill him..."

Kira didn't notice the difference between the two of them, but looked at the paper cup in his hand and said calmly, "And you also killed Thor..."

Aslan was shocked after hearing this. It was true that he killed Kira's comrades, and he killed them intentionally.

Among the people watching from a distance, there seemed to be a girl wearing a joint military uniform who was slightly shaken.

"But you don't know Thor, so you can't possibly want to kill him, right...?"

When Kira said this, she couldn't help but tilt her head and stare at Aslan.

"I·····"

"So Kira, what camp do you belong to now? What are you going to do next time we meet again?"

Looking at Kira's clear eyes, Aslan opened his mouth to speak. Noel, who noticed the problem, quickly interrupted Aslan. Aslan would not lie. If he honestly said that he killed Thor on purpose, That union of justice and freedom————

Noel didn't think Kira was really that generous. Thor was his best friend.

Aslan's heart tightened when he heard Noel's words, and he immediately forgot about Thor.

"I don't belong to any camp, but if that time comes, I think I will still continue to fight!"

Facing Noel and Aslan, Kira said firmly.

"Kira..."

After receiving Kira's answer, Aslan felt as if a knife had been pressed against his throat.

"Anyway, my hands have already fired and killed people... Although it is to protect people, the fact that I have killed people cannot be changed."

As if Kira didn't notice Aslan's eyes, he stood up and walked towards the Freedom Gundam.

"So we're still at war, right?"

Aslan asked Kira while his thoughts were raging.

But he saw Kira walking up the ladder and looking back halfway, with a trace of sadness and sadness in his eyes, but then he smiled slightly.

He did not answer, but to Aslan it was an answer.

"I really hope this is a world without war..."

Kira's eyes were a little misty when he said this.

A world without war——

Aslan also recalled the childhood years he spent with Kira, which had nothing to do with the war...

If days like this could go on forever...

If it weren't for the fact that the war swallowed up everyone's thoughts and forced all divisions between ourselves and the enemy, people gradually accumulated hatred.

When Junius 7 was destroyed, his life began to change from that moment on.

Under the torrent of war, he firmly believed that killing the enemy was an act of protecting the motherland and protecting the things he cherished, and he never doubted it.

Those who rob others will always rob them; those who hurt others will always hurt them.

Alaska and Panama are bloody examples. When it comes to "revenge", human beings always do whatever it takes, and they don't even feel ashamed to kill their compatriots.

Because they are enemies, they are not compatriots. No matter how many people are killed, there is nothing to regret.

To win, you must use that energy—

A war will be meaningless if it cannot end with a victor——

"If this continues, plant and the earth will really only end up destroying each other..."

Recalling his father's ferocious words, Aslan couldn't help but feel a chill running down his spine.
