Gundam SEED’s Final Destination

"What a dangerous bunch of guys."

Preia looked at the wreckage of the downed MS below with a somewhat complicated expression.

Three special battleships, plus eleven elite MSs, paired with hundreds of Dagger Ls at Loanglin Base.

To be honest, if this strength is placed anywhere else, it is enough to turn the tide of the battle.

But even with such power, they besieged a Minerva and five MSs, and ended up like this.

beep beep beep——

[Captain, an unknown heat source was found in the sky. The characteristics of the heat source are suspected to be ZAFT delivery capsules. The number is one! 】

Intra-ship communications are transmitted to the cockpit.

"Is that so?"

There was no trace of surprise on Preia's face. After thinking for a while, he said: "Contain the MS below and prepare to retreat. If we continue to fight like this, we may be the ones who get eaten."

【retreat? But captain, we are obviously going to win soon. 】

The commander of the battleship couldn't help being stunned when he heard this.

As long as this situation lasts for a while, the Minerva will most likely not be able to escape.

And how many mobile suits does one delivery cabin only have?

In this case, why don't you chew this hard nut in one breath?

"Excuting an order."

Preya immediately hung up the communication after speaking.

If the battleship commander could see the situation, how could he not see it?

Now is indeed a good opportunity to deal with the Minerva and Noel Cassia. With the current strength and situation, even if ZAFT's reinforcements arrive, it will not be able to change the Minerva's silent ending.

But--

"Let you live for a few more days, but it's a pity that you can't end it with my own hands——"

Looking at the prototype Destiny Gundam, which was broken but still strong, Preia couldn't help but feel regretful in her tone.

[The first outer layer falls off! 】

[Slow down to Mach 4! 】

【Good angle! 】

[There are still fifteen seconds left before the forced cooldown! 】

【Pneumatic control begins! 】

[Breaking through the troposphere——]

[Slow down to Mach 0.9! 】

[Cooling stopped, angle is good——]

[The second control layer breaks away——]

Bang bang——

The airlock unfolds and the outer layer breaks away.

Three ZGMF-2000 Fire Tigers of different colors fell from mid-air.

Bang bang bang——

However, just when three ZGMF-2000 Fire Tigers arrived over the battlefield.

The three Gadi Lu-class battleships simultaneously fired their retreat signal flares.

"Retreating?"

"what happened?"

"Why?"

Thalia and others were stunned.

But the puzzle was over, and the scene of the opponent's three warships gradually turning around did indeed appear on the screen.

Snapped--

The sudden sound of applause made the battleship crew look over subconsciously.

"Hiss--it hurts..."

Arthur was seen rubbing his cheeks and saying blankly: "I'm not dreaming?"

Over the smoke-filled battlefield, the damaged prototype Destiny Gundam stood quietly.

"what the hell?"

Noel looked at the slowly retreating Earth United Fleet, feeling a little confused.

"Leaving now?"

In the cockpit of the pink-painted Fire Tiger 2000, Rika Sheeta could not help but freeze in mid-air as she looked at the slowly retreating Earth United Fleet.

She had already thought about how to beat her after she got down, but you told me that the beating was over?

"Isn't this great?"

Heine's voice sounded from the cockpit, saying: "Even Captain Noel has been beaten into such an enemy. It's better not to touch him as much as possible. I haven't lived enough."

"cut--"

When Male Strau heard this, he subconsciously let out a sound of disdain.

"Let's go. Although the other party has retreated, it's better to be on guard."

After Heine finished speaking, he flew the orange-painted Fire Tiger 2000 in the direction of the Minerva.

Upon learning that the Union Army's base had fallen, the town of Carnahan was in commotion. Everyone ran to the streets, dragging out the Union soldiers who once dominated the local area, and at the same time recapturing the supplies that had been robbed.

Amid cheers of victory, the streets were filled with jubilant crowds.

In the crowd, there was a small figure who was thrown up by everyone. That was Cornel, who had successfully returned from the Minerva.

The men gently lifted her up and put her on their shoulders, happily carrying her around.

The brave girl was praised by her compatriots, with an innocent smile befitting her age.

Seeing this scene in the cockpit of the prototype Destiny Gundam, Noel subconsciously smiled.

Be it war or battle, isn't this the ultimate goal of both.

However, behind this bright side, there is also a dark side.

The Union soldiers were dragged into the square, stood in a line, and were shot one by one. There was no mercy on the faces of the gun-wielding people.

This is inevitable, this is how they were treated before, and now they are just being treated the same way back to the soldiers.

If one party wins, the other party who loses will suffer the consequences.

This is the inevitable formula that awaits at the end of war—winner takes all.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Patrick Sala chose to go all-in, although this reason may only account for a small part.

The end of the battle does not mean the end of the matter.

The soldiers of Ladauer's troops began to rescue the wounded. This time Ladauer's troops were extremely seriously injured.

This is probably what it means when gods fight and mortals suffer.

When the opponent's support arrived, Ladauer's troops assumed a large part of the air support.

At the same time, the Minerva was counting the wounded.

Aslan, Luna Maria and Ray Za Barel were put on stretchers and taken to the infirmary for emergency treatment.

Fortunately, although the three of them were injured to varying degrees, the problem was relatively minor, except that they might not be able to continue fighting for a short time.

"Captain Noel!"

Just when Noel came down from the cockpit, Rika Sheeta's voice was heard in the distance.

Noel heard the sound and looked over, only to see Rika Sita standing next to Malie Straw and a yellow-haired man in red waving to him.

Behind them stood three Fire Tiger 2000s painted in various colors.

At the same time as Noel landed, the three of them also walked over from the crowd of green-clad soldiers.

"Captain Noel, long time no see."

Rika Sheeta said with a smile.

Malie Straw looked at Noel with a strange expression, but he still nodded.

"Hello Noel, my name is Heine Westenflus!"

As for the other man with yellow hair and a Nebula medal, he stretched out his hand towards Noel and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, this should be our first official meeting."

"Formal meeting?" Noel reached out and shook hands with the other party.

"I was also there when you returned to the team."

Heine smiled and explained: "I originally wanted to say hello to you, but unfortunately I didn't make it in time."

"Ah~"

When Noel heard this, he suddenly realized that he was a ghost.

He had no memory of ever meeting Heine.

If he had really seen it, he would definitely have an impression. After all, this guy would die immediately upon appearance.

"Have all three of you been assigned to the Minerva?"

Noel changed the subject.

In fact, it is not a change of topic, because if I remember correctly, Heine seems to be the only one assigned to the Minerva.

But now there are two more.

"Yes, please take more care of me in the future."

Heine was always smiling.

Rika Sita and Malie Straw also nodded.

"It's easy to talk, just sing two songs for me from now on."

"Um?"

Heine was stunned as to what this had to do with singing, but he still smiled and said, "As long as you're not afraid of me being tone-deaf, it's totally fine."

"I trust you."

Noel smiled.

"hehe."

Heine smiled, looked at Thalia who was walking not far away, and said, "Noel, let's go check in first, and we'll talk later."

"Okay, it just so happens that I'm going to check on Aslan and the others."

"Well, I'll go there first."

After Heine finished speaking, he turned and walked in Thalia's direction.

After nodding towards Noel, Malie Straw followed without saying a word.

"Goodbye, Captain Noel——"

Rika Sheeta smiled and waved to Noel.

Noel couldn't help but narrow his eyes as he looked at the three of them.

Judging from the conversation just now and the sequence of the three walking, Heine was obviously the leader.

So...Did Durandal take himself into consideration when balancing his strength?
