Thor Klune sighed inwardly, the war was about to begin, and Kira Yamato was unaware of it.

And his fated day was drawing near.

Then Thor Klune, Miriaria Hawu, and Kira Yamato left together to help Professor Kato.

By the side of the station platform, they spotted Frey Alsta and her two ordinary female companions.

Frey Alsta was indeed beautiful, and with two less attractive companions to highlight her, she appeared exceptionally radiant.

No wonder Kira couldn't forget her, she was a constant presence throughout the entire story.

He knew what kind of person she was, and for such a woman, a "green tea" (a manipulative woman), he would stay far away.

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

It was better to be content and abide by the rules. This Frey Alsta was merely a destined passerby for Kira Yamato and had nothing to do with him.

Kira Yamato stared at Frey Alsta with infatuation.

Just then, Frey Alsta saw Miriaria Hawu and came forward to greet her.

Thor Klune watched Kira Yamato, seeing him react with surprise upon hearing the two ordinary girls mention that Frey Alsta had received a love letter from Sai Argyle.

His astonished expression at them becoming a couple confirmed his incurable infatuation with Frey Alsta.

Thor Klune saw three people walking up behind them. After greeting them, they snatched a car and left. He immediately recognized them as the tragic Vice-Captain Nataru Bagiruru.

He started to muse, The Vice-Captain has a good figure, overshadowed by Captain Mu's Big Breasts in the anime. If I had a warship, someone like her would definitely be my top choice, her command ability is decent. When I can afford a warship in the future, I wonder if she'll still be alive? Perhaps I can save her then.

Then he teased Kira, "Sai wrote her a love letter? That's quite unexpected, with Frey Alsta. She's a formidable rival, Kira Yamato-kun."

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

Miriaria Hawu also smiled from the side, and the three of them chatted happily on the way.

Thor Klune knew that ZAFT forces should be starting their invasion now, and they needed to be ready. The new DG Cells had just attached themselves to Kira's clothes. As long as it followed the plot, it should be fine.

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

Beside them was someone wearing a hat and a coat, who looked like Cagalli Yula Athha. Her androgynous appearance truly lived up to her tomboy reputation.

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

Kazz said she was a guest of the professor and was asked to wait there. Afterwards, Kira also began his work.

Suddenly, a loud noise, the sound of an explosion, finally, it was time.

Everyone began to flee for safety. Thor Klune also protected Miriaria Hawu and started to escape.

Kira Yamato saw Cagalli Yula Athha walking away alone and followed her.

Thor Klune, through the new DG Cells, began to observe Kira's thoughts in his mind, just in case.

Kira Yamato also discovered on the way that Cagalli was a woman and took her into an escape pod. He then entered the factory where the Gundams were stored alone. The classic Chicken Wolf Meeting had begun.

A certain red-clothed character from Leustein was defeated and exited the stage. Athrun Zala also recognized Kira Yamato, so he didn't attack and stopped. Mwu La Flaga seized the opportunity to fire, forcing Athrun back, and took Kira into the Strike Gundam. Athrun retreated and got into the Aegis Gundam. The love-hate drama between Chicken and Wolf officially began.

On Thor Klune's side, he led a group of four outdoors, watching the Gears battle tanks and soldiers. He thought, Come quickly, Kira. I hope there's no delay. He also knew that the Gear's unit performance was poor, not as good as his simulated Reinforced Gear, which he found a bit disappointing. However, it was still better than the Aerial Buster, right?

Thor Klune hesitated, wondering if he should wait for Mihail's Gear, or just grab any available one.

Besides, if Mihail didn't self-destruct, Mwu La Flaga might not necessarily faint.

It wouldn't be good if the plot was affected too much; if he couldn't get onto the Archangel then, he'd just have to wait for death.

Thor Klune controlled the new DG Cells and found a Gear being attacked by a tank.

He caused it to malfunction, making it fall to the ground, and the pilot ejected to escape.

When the Archangel collected supplies, he'd have them bring it aboard. If he could find an opportunity to enlist and learn piloting skills, this Gear might become mine.

Mwu La Flaga piloted the Strike Gundam out unsteadily as ZAFT's mobile suits began to withdraw.

Only one Gear, piloted by Mihail, attacked the Strike Gundam. It used the MA-M3 Heavy Sword and MMI-M8A3 76mm Heavy Machine Gun, but couldn't inflict any substantial damage.

However, the shockwave from the explosion was still effective. Kira, inside the Strike Gundam, crashed headfirst into Mwu La Flaga's soft chest.

He blushed and quickly apologized.

As the battle continued, the Strike Gundam got closer and closer to Thor's group.

Kira Yamato saw the fleeing crowd on the monitor and had no choice but to have Mwu La Flaga leave the cockpit and pilot it himself.

The Strike Gundam knocked aside the approaching Gear, and its assault suddenly became agile.

Thor Klune knew it was Kira Yamato who had switched into the Strike Gundam just by looking at its movements.

The Strike Gundam suddenly exerted force, dodging left and right, then stabbed two combat knives into the Gear's shoulders.

The Gear's pilot, Mihail, was at a loss. The mobile suit couldn't move.

He could only approach the Strike Gundam, activate self-destruct mode, and eject to escape.

The explosion's force didn't damage the Strike Gundam; it was merely knocked over by the blast wave.

Following that, Mwu La Flaga also lost consciousness. Kira Yamato piloted the Strike Gundam and stopped near Thor Klune.

With the help of Thor's group, Kira Yamato led the unconscious Mwu La Flaga out of the Strike Gundam. Miriaria Hawu was responsible for taking care of her.

Thor Klune seized the opportunity to board the Strike Gundam, wanting to experience the standard cockpit first.

Although he had seen the data, it was his first time sitting inside, and he was excited looking at the standard cockpit.
