Thor Kni sighed inwardly. The war was about to begin; Kira Yamato just didn't know it yet.

And the day of Kira's destiny was about to arrive.

Then Thor Kni, Miriaria Haw, and Kira Yamato left together, heading to Professor Kato's place to help out.

By the bus stop, they spotted Frey Alsta and her two generic female friends.

Frey Alsta was indeed quite pretty, and with two unimpressive girls serving as foil, she appeared especially beautiful.

No wonder Kira had never been able to forget her throughout the entire story.

Thor knew exactly what kind of person she was. As far as women like that went—a total green tea bitch—he would be better off staying far away.

He already had Miriaria Haw, and he had already taken her first time.

He should just behave himself. Frey Alsta was Kira Yamato's fated passerby and had nothing to do with him.

Kira Yamato stared at Frey Alsta with infatuated eyes.

Just then, Frey Alsta noticed Miriaria Haw and stepped forward to greet her.

Thor Kni looked at Kira Yamato and saw the startled expression on his face when he heard the two generic girls mention that Frey Alsta had received a love letter from Sai Argyle.

Sure enough, he was hopelessly obsessed with Frey Alsta.

Thor Kni saw three people approach from behind. After exchanging greetings, they commandeered a vehicle and left. One glance was enough for him to recognize the tragic first mate, Nataru Bagiruru.

His thoughts began to wander. The first mate had a pretty good figure. In the anime, she was completely overshadowed by Captain Mu's Big Breasts.

If I had a battleship, someone like her would definitely be my first choice. Her command ability was solid.

Once my space gets big enough to hold a battleship, I wonder if she'll still be alive. Maybe I'll get a chance to save her.

Then he teased Kira.

"Sai wrote a love letter? What a surprise. Frey Alsta is a formidable rival, Kira Yamato."

Kira replied shyly, "I don't..."

Miriaria Haw laughed beside them, and the three chatted and laughed as they walked.

Thor Kni knew that ZAFT's invasion should be starting now. He had to stay ready; the New DG Cells had just attached themselves to Kira's clothes.

As long as things followed the plot, there shouldn't be any problem.

The three arrived at Professor Kato's laboratory, where Sai Argyle and Kazz Baskak were already present.

There was also someone standing nearby in a hat and coat. She was probably Cagalli Yula Athha. With that androgynous outfit, she really was a tomboy.

Thor Kni deliberately went over to Kazz Baskak and asked who she was.

Kazz said she was the professor's guest and had been told to wait there. After that, Kira began working as well.

A tremendous boom suddenly rang out. It was an explosion. The time had finally come.

Everyone began evacuating for shelter, while Thor Kni protected Miriaria Haw as they fled.

Kira Yamato saw Cagalli Yula Athha walk off by herself and followed her.

Through the New DG Cells, Thor Kni began monitoring Kira through his thoughts, just in case.

Kira Yamato also discovered on the way that Cagalli was a girl and brought her into an escape pod.

He entered the factory where the Gundams were stored alone, and the classic Chicken Wolf Meeting began.

Some red-uniformed Rusty got killed and exited the stage. Athrun Zala also recognized Kira Yamato, so he stopped without launching an attack.

Mwu La Mias seized the chance to fire, forcing Athrun back, then brought Kira into the Strike Gundam.

Athrun also retreated into the Aegis Gundam. The great drama of love and slaughter between Chicken and Wolf officially began.

On Thor Kni's side, he led a group of four outside and watched Gears battle tanks and infantry.

Come on, Kira. Hurry up. I hope there isn't any delay.

And he knew Gear units were poor, but he hadn't expected them to be far worse than the Reinforced Gear he had simulated. He found them rather disappointing, though they were still a little better than the Sky Dominator.

Gear D-Class Unit HP: 1000 Energy: 200 Mobility: 50 Armor: 280 Terrain Adaptability: Sea - Land B Air - Space B Power Supply: Battery Energy Pack Armor: Standard Armor Fixed Armaments: MA-M3 Heavy Sword (600); MMI-M8A3 76mm Heavy Machine Gun (500); Beam Shield Optional weapons: Leg-mounted M68 Triple Missile Launcher ×2 (600); M59 Varlus Modified Heavy Particle Cannon (1800/20); M66 Missile Launcher ×2 (1200); MMI-M636K Beam Rifle (1000/5)

Thor Kni hesitated over whether he should wait for Mihail's Gear. Or perhaps he should just take any random one.

Besides, if Mihail did not self-destruct, Mwu La Mias might not necessarily pass out.

If the plot changed too much, that would be troublesome. If he could not get aboard the Archangel, he would only be waiting to die.

Thor Kni controlled the New DG Cells and found a Gear being attacked by a tank.

He caused it to suffer a system malfunction. It collapsed on cue, and its pilot also jumped out to escape.

When the Archangel gathered supplies and took it aboard, he could find an opportunity to enlist and learn piloting skills. Then this Gear might have a chance of becoming his.

Mwu La Mias drove the Strike Gundam out unsteadily, and all the ZAFT units began to retreat.

Only one Gear piloted by Mihail attacked the Strike Gundam. Neither its MA-M3 Heavy Sword nor its MMI-M8A3 76mm Heavy Machine Gun could inflict any substantial damage.

But the shockwave from the explosions was still effective. Inside the Strike Gundam, Kira slammed headfirst into Mwu La Mias's soft chest.

His face turned red with embarrassment as he hurriedly apologized.

As the battle continued, the Strike Gundam drew ever closer to Thor's group.

Kira Yamato saw the fleeing people on the monitor. Left with no choice, he had Mwu La Mias leave the pilot's seat and took over himself.

The Strike Gundam rammed aside the oncoming Gear, and its movements suddenly became agile.

The moment Thor Kni saw its movements, he knew Kira Yamato had taken control of the Strike Gundam.

The Strike Gundam suddenly accelerated, dodging left and right, then drove its two combat knives into the Gear's hands and shoulders.

Mihail, the Gear's pilot, was at a complete loss. His unit could no longer move.

He could only approach the Strike Gundam, activate self-destruct mode, and jump out of the unit to escape.

The explosion did not damage the Strike Gundam; it merely knocked it over with the blast wave.

Mwu La Mias also fell unconscious. Kira Yamato drove the Strike Gundam near Thor Kni and stopped.

With the help of Thor Kni's group, Kira Yamato carried the unconscious Mwu La Mias out of the Strike Gundam, leaving Miriaria Haw to look after her.

Thor Kni took the opportunity to climb into the Strike Gundam and experience the standard cockpit.

Although he had read the data, this was his first time sitting inside. Looking at the standard cockpit, he was thrilled beyond words.
