Gundam SEED’s Final Destination

October 6, CE71.

PLANT's military supply depot——

A black and red battleship lay quietly here.

"When will this kind of day end?"

In the cafeteria of the Lord Angel, a man wearing an Earth Alliance uniform looked up to the sky and sighed: "When will we get the results -"

Others in the cafeteria stiffened slightly when they heard this.

When they looked at each other, they both saw the bitterness and helplessness in each other's eyes.

Due to the issue of follow-up negotiations for the war, ZAFT did not abuse the prisoners, but only placed the captured prisoners under house arrest and surveillance.

During the recent period, everyone on the Main Angel has been under house arrest on the Main Angel.

Although I had no worries about food and clothing, the feeling of being under surveillance and under house arrest was really unpleasant.

In the corner of the cafeteria, Natal sat upright, with a serious and cold expression.

Listening to the whispers of her soldiers, a trace of guilt appeared on Natal's face.

I opened my mouth several times to stop him, but no words came out.

Speaking of which, the Lord Angel would end up in this situation, and she had an unshirkable responsibility.

If he hadn't shot Murtagh, everyone wouldn't have been homeless, and they wouldn't have been threatened by that guy and surrendered without a fight, becoming ZAFT's captives.

"Captain, he looks very distressed."

Just when Major Bucky Lulu fell into memories and couldn't extricate himself.

A soldier who looked a little bloated in an Earth Alliance uniform sat next to her.

"Who are you--?"

Natal frowned and looked to her side, although she didn't care about these formal things.

But the long-standing tacit understanding was suddenly broken, which made me feel a little bit disgusted.

"promise--"

"Well--!"

Natal saw the person coming clearly and was about to call out when Noel suddenly reached out and silenced her words.

"Um?"

"Holy shit?"

"this--"

The other soldiers in the canteen also noticed Natal's abnormality, and turned around and were stunned.

Dare to treat the captain like this, when did our comrades become so bold?

The ZAFT soldiers on duty also noticed something unusual, but after seeing what the other party was wearing, they didn't say anything more. They just secretly lamented how courageous the soldier was.

"Don't make any noise, just nod when you understand."

Noel was also frightened by Natal's reaction. Although it didn't matter if he was exposed, it was better not to be exposed if he could.

Natal nodded in astonishment upon hearing this.

Seeing this, Noel released his palm covering Natal's mouth and wiped it on Natal's body in disgust.

"you--"

"Want to go out?"

"Do you have any idea?"

Natal's eyes narrowed slightly, and her anger was instantly replaced by surprise.

She didn't care about house arrest or death, but she didn't want to implicate her subordinates.

"There will be turmoil here in ten minutes. The ZAFT soldiers here will come over to support you. You will have five minutes to activate the Archangel and break the gate to rush out."

"Why are you doing this?"

Natal was not dazzled by the sudden good news.

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

"I'll answer this question after you go out. Of course, if you don't want to go out, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Noel's purpose could not be explained for a while, and he had no intention of explaining it.

Natal fell silent after hearing this. She didn't know whether she should believe Noel.

Although her rationality told her that the only way was to believe in Noel, she always had doubts about Noel.

"You don't want to go out, do you?"

Noel looked at Natal who gradually fell into silence, and a ridiculous idea came to his mind.

This idea is not ridiculous in general.

After all, Natal shot Murtagh with her own hands.

"How can it be."

Natal replied reflexively.

"Then why do you have any hesitation?" Noel didn't understand.

Since you want to go out, why should you hesitate?

"Where can we go after we go out?" Natal replied slightly lonely.

She wanted to leave all the time, but the reality was, where would they go after they left?

Return to Earth to unite?

Is it possible for the Earth United to have a soldier who dares to shoot his superior?

the answer is negative.

There is only one result for her going back - death!

He may even be called a traitor.

As for the other soldiers, although they were not the main culprits, choosing to remain indifferent when Natal shot his superior was a taboo for military strategists.

Therefore, if they return to Earth United, not only will they not receive preferential treatment, they may even face a military court.

"I was shocked. I thought it was something wrong."

Noel thought Natal and the others didn’t want to leave.

"Do you have any idea?" Natal asked in astonishment.

"When you get out, head towards this coordinate point. Someone will come to pick you up soon."

As Noel spoke, he took out a piece of paper with the coordinates written on it and handed it to her.

Noel did not tell them that he planned to abduct them to the Heavenly Pillar. Even if he did, he would have to wait until they got out.

Natal's eyes flickered as she looked at the note in her hand. After staring at Noel for a while, she gradually came to a decision: "I understand."

No matter what Noel's purpose is, leaving ZAFT is necessary.

From the analysis of some recent fragments of information, it can be concluded that due to negotiations between PLANT and Earth, the two sides have begun to exchange prisoners of war.

"Just understand. Prepare early. You only have one chance. Oh, by the way, please don't hurt people's lives if it's not necessary! Just throw them out."

After speaking, Noel reached out and patted Natal on the shoulder, stood up and walked out the door.

Looking at Noel's leaving figure, Natal took a deep breath and calmed down her emotions.

For the sake of these subordinates who trust me, even if the road ahead is full, I can only grit my teeth and move forward!

Go through the Main Angel corridor.

Before leaving the Archangel, Noel took off the Earth Alliance uniform jacket he was wearing, revealing the MS combat pilot suit hidden inside.

While the guards were waiting to return, Noel quietly came to the main passage, reached out and held the escalator towards the MS hangar.

five minutes later--

Under the stunned and surprised eyes of the ZAFT soldiers, Noel smiled and returned the greeting while walking along the escalator to the place where the mobile suit was parked.

"Mr. Noel?"

"No wonder the Covenant is here. It turns out Mr. Noel is coming."

"It seems that Mr. Noel is on patrol today."

"·····"

After Noel and the logistics staff completed the handover of the aircraft.

While the soldiers were whispering, Noel, holding the pilot's helmet, came to the feet of the Covenant.

Although the Covenant Gundam was severely damaged in the Battle of Yakinduvi, important parts of the Covenant were preserved.

After about half a month of intensive repairs at the military factory, the Covenant was given a new lease of life.

Sitting in the familiar cockpit and stroking the operating lever of the covenant, Noel actually felt like he was in a dream.

[The catapult is fixed! 】

The reminder from the control room interrupted Noel's thoughts.

At the same time, the lifting platform under Covenant's feet was activated, bringing Covenant to stand in the MS channel.

[Covenant Gundam, please be ready to attack! 】

The thick gate in front of the MS ejection channel slowly opened, revealing the deep universe in front of the channel.

[The system is ready, the route has been cleared, Covenant Gundam please attack! 】

"Noel Cassia, Covenant Gundam—Attack!"

Noel took a deep breath and pressed the mask switch.

Swish——

With the help of the catapult, the Covenant Gundam burst out of the gate.

The engine started, the VPS armor started, and the covenant covered in dark red flew towards the established cruise route.

Shortly after the Covenant attacked, several soldiers in green quietly left the place while looking at each other.

At the same time, the monitor in the military depot was lagging for a while, and the screen was covered with snowflakes.
