Chapter 236: Gundam Seizure Incident (Part 2)

Armory One, next-generation main machine hangar, the short and fierce slaughter came to an end.

"Alright, cleanup finished. Hurry up and pack the gifts and take them back to Neo."

Sting finished the cleanup work and prepared to board the machine. Suddenly, he saw blood splashed on Stella's face. He went over and used his sleeve to help her wipe it clean, his tone carrying concerned reproach: "Hey, why did you get your face dirty again? Neo will scold you when we get back."

Stella, who had just finished killing people and fell into a dazed state, heard this and hurriedly wiped her face hard again, until her small face was wiped red.

"Idiot, wouldn't it look like you were beaten if you do that?"

Auel on the side complained, "Stop wasting time. If we don't hurry, the bus will leave."

"That's true."

Sting, who was in a leadership position among the three, expressed agreement, "Start quickly."

Subsequently, the three entered the Chaos, Abyss, and Gaia Gundams parked in the hangar. Just like the data provided by the spies, the three easily started these three machines.

Rushing out of the hangar, the three Gundams deployed their VPS armor and began to destroy the ZAFT military hangar unscrupulously.

The shrill alarm sounded throughout Armory One. Hearing the alarm, Athrun first realized something was wrong and hurriedly interrupted Cagalli, who was arguing with Durandal.

Durandal also asked dissatisfiedly, "What happened?"

What was the base doing, actually losing its composure in front of important guests.

Immediately, one of Durandal's attendants reported to him in a low voice, "The three new machines—Chaos, Abyss, and Gaia—have been seized."

This made Durandal realize that the situation was much worse than he had imagined. He waved his hand and shouted, "Hurry up and take the Princess to evacuate, and at the same time call for reinforcements. We must calm the situation down..."

Before he finished speaking, the Abyss happened to destroy a hangar, revealing its towering figure in front of Cagalli and the others.

"This is... Gundam!"

The typical V-fin head allowed Cagalli to immediately recognize what kind of machine this was.

And the Abyss was exchanging fire with the ZAFT military machines that came to support while destroying things. It could clearly be judged that it had been seized by people other than the ZAFT military.

"Run!"

Athrun didn't dare to continue letting Cagalli stay in such a dangerous place and hurriedly pulled her to escape.

Over there, Chairman Durandal also began to go to the Minerva to evacuate under the suggestion of his guards.

The three Gundams began to wreak havoc in the Armory. Shihe, who was piloting the ceremonial GINN, also saw this absurd scene.

"The three machines were seized?"

Looking at the telegram sent by the headquarters, Shihe had a clear judgment of the situation.

As Shihe, who participated in the development project of those three machines, knew very well that the equipment of the ceremonial GINN she was piloting couldn't compete with those three machines at all. After all, the ceremonial sword used for the ceremony wasn't even as good as an ordinary slashing knife.

If she didn't want to die, at least she should go change into actual combat equipment.

Even if it was difficult to cause damage to the three Gundams with VPS armor even after changing into actual combat equipment, at least she could play a containment role.

This was, after all, the ZAFT military's lair. As long as she dragged it out until other main machines reacted, she would have helped.

Not daring to jump out and attract the attention of the three new machines, Shihe piloted the ceremonial GINN and quietly moved toward the No. 7 arsenal not far away. She remembered that there should be machine guns and slashing knives that GINNs could use over there.

During the movement, Shihe suddenly discovered a somewhat familiar figure in the fleeing crowd below. She zoomed in on the camera and exclaimed, "Athrun?"

Although the other party was wearing sunglasses and not wearing a military uniform, Shihe felt she shouldn't have recognized him wrong.

Beside him was also a blonde girl. It seemed Athrun was covering the other party's evacuation.

But that direction...

Damn it, from this height of vision, she couldn't see that the Gaia Gundam was transformed into a four-legged beast form at the corner over there.

If this continued, both of them would be involved in the battle.

It was just that it seemed it wasn't the time to worry about others...

Beep beep beep beep!

The alarm in the cockpit sounded frantically. Shihe hurriedly operated the machine to rush forward, dodging the foot blade that fell from the sky from the Chaos.

But the Chaos's pursuit hadn't ended. After landing, it raised its beam gun and fired. Shihe anticipated that there would be a similar attack, so she had long ago used the back thruster to make a quick move to the right during the rush, dodging into a hangar.

"Tch..."

Sting, piloting the Chaos, was surprised by the target's alertness. The continuous attacks missing made him feel his self-esteem was damaged, and he was planning to continue the pursuit when another ZAFT military force came to attack.

A flight formation composed of three DINNs launched a diving attack on the Chaos on the ground. However, Sting just manipulated the Chaos to raise its shield to block, relying on the VPS armor to hard-resist this wave of attacks.

Subsequently, the Chaos fired three shots at the flight formation that flew past, shooting down one of the commander-type DINNs.

And Shihe took the opportunity to go out from the other door of the hangar, intending to continue to get the machine gun, and then as soon as she went out, she saw the Gaia stabbing a GuAIZ R with a sword.

"............ Should have known to stay in the project office obediently."

Even Shihe, who was usually as calm as ever, couldn't help but complain to herself at this time.

However, since she had bumped into it head-on, turning around and running away in this distance was the most stupid choice.

"Have to go up!"

Shihe piloted the ceremonial GINN, pulled out the ceremonial sword, and launched an attack first.

The ceremonial sword slashed fiercely, but was blocked by the Gaia with its shield with a "clang." Shihe didn't hesitate, immediately kicked the Gaia's shield, and utilized the low-gravity environment inside the colonial satellite to complete a backward flight through the back thruster, dodging the Gaia's counterattack, and subsequently readjusted her posture to land.

Although the operation was very showy, the damage caused to the Gaia was basically zero.

"You guy, are you looking down on me?"

Stella, who had been teased, was immediately enraged and piloted the Gaia to rush over. When approaching the ceremonial GINN, she performed a jumping slash.

The Gaia's propulsion ability as a next-generation main machine was really outstanding, and the lightning-fast fatal blow reached the GINN in an instant.

Facing danger, Shihe suddenly felt time slow down. The somewhat anxious mood from before also calmed down. She very calmly operated the ceremonial GINN to step to the right, then turned around to skillfully dodge the Gaia's strike, and then slashed at the Gaia's lower back with a round slash.

Although she couldn't cause effective damage to the Gaia, the Gaia, which was in mid-air, lost its balance after bearing this slash and fell to the ground with a "plop."

Shihe hurriedly piloted the ceremonial GINN over, wanting to step directly on the Gaia's lower back.

MS, after all, belonged to humanoid weapons, and their design ideas imitated human mechanics to a certain extent, and Gundams, which were more flexible machines than ordinary mass-produced machines, were even more so.

So Shihe knew that if she could step on the Gaia, she should be able to suppress the other party for a short time. At that time, she could take the opportunity to consume the other party's energy with the ceremonial sword.

However, Stella's reaction was also very fast. She immediately manipulated the Gaia to press with both hands, the thruster behind it erupted with the strongest output, completed a forward rush, and then completed the transformation, quickly escaping the possible pursuit.

"So strong..."

Athrun, who was hiding in a corner with Cagalli in the chaos, watched the entire battle process between the ceremonial GINN and the Gaia and couldn't help but exclaim. ===== CHAPTER 237 =====
