Not long after, Mwu La Mias woke up and shook her head at Kira.

Perhaps she had recalled the unbelievable scenes from the cockpit earlier. Her eyes rested on Kira thoughtfully.

Just then, Thor Kni noticed that Mwu La Mias had woken up and deliberately raised his voice.

"Whoa, it's called a Gundam? It looks amazing."

Kazu Bascar asked, "Can it be activated?"

Mwu La Flaga turned toward the voice and saw two boys who looked like students had actually climbed into the Gundam's cockpit.

Startled, she immediately got to her feet, pulled out a handgun from her side, and aimed it at Thor Kni and Kazu Bascar inside the cockpit.

Mwu La Flaga said nervously,

"Get down from there, now!"

As her words fell, a bullet shot from the chamber and struck the outer wall of the cockpit.

Thor Kni deliberately shrank back like Kazu Bascar, letting out a frightened cry as he looked fearfully at Mwu La Flaga.

Kira Yamato rushed over in a few quick strides, stepped in front of Mwu La Flaga, and said,

"What are you doing?! They were the ones who carried you out of the cockpit!"

"Sorry." Mwu La Mias turned the gun toward Kira and said,

"I'm very grateful that you saved me just now, but that is an important military secret. It isn't something ordinary civilians like you are allowed to access."

Mwu said sternly,

"I have to notify the relevant authorities. Until they issue a decision on how to deal with you, all of you must stay with me."

Kazu Bascar shouted in shock, "How can you do this?!"

Thor Kni also pretended to be angry. "What is this supposed to mean?!"

Sai Argyle said angrily as well,

"We're civilians of Orb's Heliopolis. We're neutral. The military has nothing to do with us at all!"

Mwu fired a warning shot into the sky, then spoke to them sternly.

"You naïve children, shut up. Do you really think that just saying you're neutral means this has nothing to do with you?

There are important Earth Alliance secrets here, and all of you have seen them. You have to face reality.

And a war is being fought in places you don't know about—between PLANT and Earth, between Coordinators and Naturals.

You can't stay out of it just by saying you're neutral. For now, you've been requisitioned by me. Cooperate with my work."

Threatened by Mwu La Mias, the group could only cooperate and begin working according to her assignments.

Thor Kni checked the Ginn lying on the ground, then asked unwillingly,

"Damn it, where's my Ginn? (⊙?⊙) Such a huge Ginn, and it's gone.

Nami, help me find out where that Ginn went!"

"Master, that Ginn was taken away by its companions. Should I have it return?"

"Hell, man proposes and Heaven disposes. ZAFT really is frugal—they even take the broken ones back.

I'm so pissed! My Gunpla is getting delayed again! This sucks.

Nami, don't make it return. I want them to compensate me with Gunpla.

Once the Ginn reaches ZAFT's battleship, secretly assimilate the entire ship and every unit inside it.

Have the crew infected with New DG Cells too, then let them lie dormant inside their bodies. Whenever needed, they can all be subjected to Brainwashing Control.

One Ginn for one battleship. Fair trade, right? From now on, that entire battleship will be mine, kept as a hidden piece.

Let's see if you dare steal my Gunpla again! Hahaha..."

"Understood, Master."

"Good. Then I'll see which battleship gets unlucky. I wonder if it's Cruze's ship. If it is, that'll be fun.

Then I'll become the final winner of the Gundam Plunder War—the oriole stalking behind them. Hope it goes smoothly.

But before reaching Earth, there's still another chance to get a unit: the Reconnaissance Gear at Junius 7.

The difficulty is pretty high. Kira still doesn't know how to control the throttle, so it'll probably be impossible.

Am I really destined to pilot the Sky Dominator? Maybe I can first get a Moebius to play with at Artemis Shield.

That place is going to explode and be completely destroyed anyway. I can grab one in the chaos and modify it a little.

Then I'll say it was a special unit found inside. No one will be able to prove otherwise. Yes, that's it. I'll get one first and have some fun."

Miriaria was in charge of communications and calling the Earth Alliance for help, while the others drove vehicles and transported weapons and equipment.

Just as those tasks were about to be completed, Rau Le Creuset piloted a Ginn and Mu La Flaga piloted a Moebius Zero as they fought their way into Heliopolis.

Moebius Zero D+ Rank MA HP: 600 Energy: 180 Mobility: 100 Armor: 160 Terrain Adaptability: Sea - Land - Air - Space A Fixed Weapons: Linear Gun (700); Wire-guided Pod ×4 (1200) --- Ginn D+ Rank Unit HP: 1100 Energy: 200 Mobility: 85 Armor: 300 Terrain Adaptability: Sea - Land B Air - Space B Fixed Weapons: MA-M4A Heavy Slashing Blade (700); Arm-mounted M7070 Gatling Shield with 28mm Vulcan Cannon (800); MMI-M7S 76mm Heavy Assault machine gun (500)

Kira Yamato piloted the Strike Gundam after switching to its cannon equipment, preparing to intercept Rau Le Creuset's Ginn.

The Wire-guided Pods of Mu La Flaga's Moebius Zero had all been shaved clean by Cruze. Facing the Ginn's attacks, he could only evade.

While pursuing the Moebius Zero, he spotted the Strike Gundam on the ground and immediately attacked it with Vulcan Cannons and a Heavy Assault machine gun.

Kira Yamato swiftly activated the Strike Gundam's PS Armor, blocking Cruze's attacks for Thor and the others.

The Strike Gundam raised its hand and fired its Hyper Impulse Cannon at Rau Le Creuset's Ginn, while Cruze piloted the Ginn in rapid evasive maneuvers.

Just like in the original plot, it only hit the weapon and arm. Heliopolis was also blasted open with a huge hole by the Hyper Impulse Cannon.

Kira Yamato was utterly stunned, frightened by the Hyper Impulse Cannon's power.

At that moment, a beam also shot up from the ground, and the Archangel emerged after it.

Seeing that the situation had turned unfavorable, Rau Le Creuset took advantage of the chaos and left through the hole.

At the same time, Nami received a signal. The battleship carrying the Ginn was a Nacskha-class High-Speed Battleship.

It also carried five Ginns and one Ginn, but unfortunately, it was not Rau Le Creuset's battleship.

Still, it was not a loss. At the very least, it was a new type of ZAFT battleship.

Its only flaw was its relatively low maximum capacity. It could carry only six Mobile Suits.

Nacskha-class High-Speed Battleship C+ Rank Battleship HP: 7000 Energy: 800 Mobility: 90 Armor: 600 Terrain Adaptability: Sea - Land - Air - Space A Size: Length 255 meters Fixed Weapons: 120mm Single-Mount High-Energy Converging Fireline Cannon ×2 (2200/30); 66mm Dual railgun ×2 (1800); 58mm Automatic Defensive Machine Cannon ×10 (550); 450mm Multipurpose Vertical Launch System ×5 (2800)
