Gundam SEED’s Final Destination

Sometimes Noel wanted to give up and just find a place to quietly wait to die.

Anyway, for now, this world can survive everything safely even without me...

But he was unwilling to do so.

I am just an ordinary time traveler. I don't want to hurt anyone, nor do I want to become a master. I just want to live a stable life.

In his previous life, he was not a saint or a good person, but at least he was a law-abiding citizen, and he was not involved in drugs or gambling.

Every year he even participates in various volunteer activities to help the elderly, weak, sick and disabled.

I often do things that are helpful to others.

So - why?

Why should I suffer such injustice?

Why should I give my life for this carefree world?

Why should I compromise with a world that has no good intentions towards me?

Don't say, "The world kisses me with pain, and I will reciprocate with songs." That's a saint. I'm not a saint, I'm just an ordinary person who is so ordinary that I can't be ordinary...

However, I am an ordinary person with a trace of conscience——

It was this inner conflict that made him suffer.

First, he wanted to help the Earth unite to obtain an anti-neutron jammer, and then everyone was finished together, and all the forces that profited from him were buried with him.

Adjusters, natural persons, all must die...

But his conscience told him that he couldn't do this. Those who don't know are not guilty. Innocent people should not be hurt. Cruze is also one of the people who harmed him. He can't be with him...

So I went to promote the three-ship alliance to make Lux's team stronger...

"Isn't it pretty good..."

Durandal looked at Noel's flickering eyes and gradually fell into silence.

After a moment, Durandal seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but break the calm: "Actually, I can be your friend."

"Um?"

Noel was stunned and didn't know what Durandal meant by these words.

"Don't you think we will become very good friends?" Durandal asked with a sincere expression, facing Noel's surprised eyes.

He really wants a friend.

He saw in Noel the same aura as himself and Cruze. It was the same kind of aura.

"I thought we were already friends? Don't you think we are good friends?"

Noel suddenly laughed when he heard this and threw the question back.

Friends, now he can be friends with anyone, but it is difficult to be friends with Durandal.

Durandal was silent after hearing this, then nodded with a smile, raised his teacup, and said, "Yes, we are already friends. Bless you, my friend."

Ding--

"Thanks."

Accompanied by the crisp sound of the clinking of porcelain, Noel stood up, picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp, saying, "Okay, it's getting late, so I'll leave first."

"Well, be careful on the road." Upon seeing this, Durandal also got up and followed. This time he did not choose to stay.

Walking side by side towards the outside of the villa.

The whole journey was silent, and soon the two of them arrived outside the villa.

"Goodbye, my friend."

After saying that, Noel turned around and got into the car.

"Good bye my friend."

Durandal's smile did not change and he waved back.

Noel raised his hand and waved out of the window, then drove the vehicle and left the villa area.

Durandal just watched Noel's vehicle go away, his eyes wandering and he didn't know what he was thinking.

At some point, Thalia came to Durandal's side and reached out to lift up Durandal's messy forehead hair.

"Talia, tell me, am I doing all this right or wrong?"

Durandal didn't react at all, just looked at his friend who was walking away and murmured.

He felt like he might never find friends again.

The aura of the same kind, yes, the aura of the same kind. It is precisely because they are the same kind that they cannot become friends.

"I don't know, but I'll always support you."

Thalia replied with a smile, unable to suppress a trace of sadness in her eyes.

She vaguely knew that Durandal wanted to do something big, but she didn't know what exactly Durandal wanted to do, and she didn't know whether it was good or bad.

But Talia vaguely felt that there was a reason for this, so she wanted to support him and always support him, no matter where this road leads.

Because Durandal gave up a lot in order to realize his ambition.

"Kira..."

Aslan, who was trying to return to the plant to persuade his father to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, was sitting in the space shuttle and called to the Liberty Gundam: "We are almost at the defense network of the 'Yakim Duvi'. You go back!"

They have arrived near the satellite of Yakin Duvi, one of the plant's final lines of defense.

After passing here, Aslan will anchor in Yakinduvi and transfer to the city of Aprilius.

The communication line was opened, and Kira's face appeared on the screen: "Then I'll be on standby around here..."

"No, you should go back to the Archangel first."

Aslan hesitated for a moment, but then rejected Kira's opinion. This place already belonged to Plant's sphere of influence, and it was too dangerous for Kira to roam freely here.

However, Kira on the screen seemed to be speculating on something after hearing this, and stared at Aslan for a long time without saying a word.

"Aslan..."

"Um?"

"You can't die yet."

Aslan couldn't help but hold his breath when he heard this. He really came with the intention of dying this time.

He knew that what Kira and others did was right, but he knew it was right, and he wanted to join in, but the speaker of the plant was his father.

"Do you understand...?"

Although Kira looked calm, there was a firm will in his words: "You and me - we can't die yet..."

It seems that Aslan's determination hidden deep in his heart has long been seen through by his old friend.

Still can’t die——

Kira's words emphasize the necessity of Aslan.

Now Aslan and Kira are the existences that their partners really need.

For this group of people who left the earth to show Orb's will, these two combat pilots are of indispensable value.

It is precisely because Aslan can appreciate this value that Kira uses these words to advise him.

At the same time, only such words can possibly restore Aslan's determination.

Aslan seemed to feel Kira's thoughts while he was thinking, and couldn't help but smile: "You can't die yet?"

Kira smiled and nodded.

Death is certain, no one will die, but they cannot die before completing their mission. They have to live for a while.

"Okay, I will remember this sentence."

"do not forget."

Seeing his friend whispering on the screen, Aslan nodded and turned off the communication.

At the same time, the Freedom Gundam, which was traveling at the same speed, activated its jet brake and gradually moved away in the dark sea of ​​stars.

Aslan re-opened the communication line towards the rock mass in front of him - Yakinduwe.

"This is the special agent team directly under the National Defense Commission, identification number 285002, Aslan Sala is calling, Yakin Duwe is called, please answer..."

While calling the base, one of his hands unconsciously searched for the red stone Cagalli gave him when she was on Earth - as if he was seeking strength.

the other side--

Noel, who left Durandal's home, did not return to his military residence. Instead, he drove a vehicle to a remote town.

Unlike the noisy and prosperous main city, the towns here are slightly shabby.

The gap between rich and poor is unavoidable even in a plant, and is even more terrifying than on earth, because the people here are all adjusters.

This may be one of the reasons why Durandal wants to start the destiny plan.

It is worth mentioning that as time goes by, Noel's original trajectory of the world gradually becomes clear.

And this is what makes Noel more and more worried and frightened, because the more he knows, the more terrifying he will be as he heads towards the abyss.

Therefore, he must try his best to help the 'light power' of this world at this stage.

But the premise is that Lux is still the same Lux.
