SEED: Chase and Escape

After Kira left, Frey Alsta asked Sai Argyle with confusion.

"What was that just now? Who is that person named Kira?"

Sai Argyle explained to her that Kira Yamato was the one who piloted the Gundam and rescued her lifeboat.

Frey Alsta then questioned why Kira Yamato would pilot a Gundam.

Thor Klune immediately felt that this woman was really asking about the wrong thing at the wrong time.

Miriallia Haw, standing nearby, also showed an embarrassed expression when she heard Frey say that.

Fortunately, Kira Yamato left, or she would be sad and dejected again.

Miriallia Haw is so much better, not saying such ignorant things.

At this moment, Cagalli Yula Athha, standing nearby, inappropriately replied, "Kira is a Coordinator."

This made the already awkward atmosphere even worse, Thor Klune thought to himself with resignation.

[What a useless teammate, more trouble than they're worth.]

It was fortunate that Sai Argyle helped explain that Kira Yamato was not a ZAFT Coordinator.

He slightly appeased his girlfriend, the spoiled Frey Alsta...

After a long while, the radar operator on the Archangel's bridge issued an alert.

"Large heat source detected nearby, it should be a battleship engine."

The bridge was filled with a tense atmosphere, everyone's spirits were highly strung, like a tautly pulled violin string.

Mu La Flaga said, "Nearby? They're moving in the same direction."

Mwu La Flaga asked nervously, "Have we been caught by ZAFT already?"

Nataru Bagiruru denied from the side that the enemy had already detected the Archangel and continued to confirm information.

"However, there's still some distance. The target is preparing to overtake us. It's a Nacskha-class battleship."

Mu La Flaga saw through the enemy's intentions and said.

"The target wants to block our path first."

At the same time, they discovered that more than one battleship was pursuing the Archangel. There was also a Laurasia-class battleship behind the Archangel.

ZAFT was preparing to sandwich the Archangel from both sides.

With its engines off and drifting by inertia, the Archangel was now in a dilemma.

An alarm also sounded inside the Archangel, and the broadcast announced.

"Enemy presence detected, First Combat Configuration. All personnel with military registration, report to your stations immediately.

Kira Yamato, please report to the bridge for assembly."

Miriallia Haw said nervously, "I wonder what will happen to Kira?"

Everyone fell silent. Sai Argyle said from the side.

"If Kira doesn't participate in the battle, everyone will be in a very bad situation."

Thor Klune inwardly complained.

[Sai Argyle, I didn't expect you to be such a bleeding heart. If you can't do it yourself, you want Kira to take the hit.

You say it so lightly, sending someone to their death. If Kira wasn't the strongest Coordinator, they would have died who knows how many times already.]

Miriallia Haw asked Thor Klune.

"Thor, are we just going to sit here? Are we always going to rely on Kira's protection?"

Thor Klune felt a sense of crisis upon hearing this. If he didn't know the plot, he would have thought she was in love with Kira Yamato.

He lowered his head and pretended to be profound as he replied, "Mu La Flaga is right, do as much as you can with the strength you have."

Then he looked at everyone. Just like in the original plot, they all nodded.

He knew things were stable now. He had finally joined the Archangel as a reserve soldier.

He could openly go to the hangar and practice piloting the Moebius Mobile Armor on a training unit.

Thor Klune and his group of four arrived at the bridge, looking for Mwu La Flaga to request joining the Archangel and helping with the ship's work.

Mwu La Flaga agreed to Thor Klune's request and had a soldier escort them to change into their military uniforms.

After changing into their uniforms, they encountered Kira Yamato on the way.

Kira looked at their uniforms and asked, "Thor, everyone. What's going on, your attire..."

Thor Klune replied, "We also want to help the Archangel do some things."

"Is there a shortage of personnel?"

Cagalli Yula Athha said, "You have to wear a uniform to go to the bridge, right?"

Thor Klune spread his hands and said, "Although ZAFT's uniforms look much better, this one is too shabby.

But we can't always have you fighting alone, relying on you to protect us."

Miriallia Haw spoke from behind Thor Klune.

"It's this situation again. We'll do our best to help with what we can."

After chatting for a while, the soldiers nearby began to hurry Thor and his group along. They could only say goodbye to Kira Yamato for now before heading to the bridge to handle communications.

Mu La Flaga piloted the Moebius Zero and launched first.

Next, Kira Yamato, piloting the Strike Gundam, was also ready to sortie at any moment.

On the bridge, the radar operator gave a warning, "Laurasia-class battleship, 50 kilometers behind, approaching."

Mwu La Flaga commanded, "Main engines of the Archangel will start in 2 minutes. Strike Gundam, prepare to launch."

Inside the Strike Gundam piloted by Kira Yamato, Miriallia Haw's voice could be heard.

"Kira, from today on, I'll be your combat navigator for MS and MA."

Then, she made a V-sign towards Kira and said playfully, "Please take care of me."

Nataru Bagiruru said sternly from the side, "Kira Yamato, the Strike Gundam is equipped with aerial combat gear.

Once you leave the Archangel, the enemy will attack immediately. Understood?"

Kira nodded and said, "Understood. Kira Yamato, Gundam, launching."

The Strike Gundam then flew out of the Archangel's hangar, activated its PS Armor, and soared into space.

On the bridge, the radar operator said nervously.

"Three heat signatures approaching from behind, distance 67. Three units, they're MS."

Mwu La Flaga said, "They've come, as expected?"

Nataru Bagiruru commanded.

"Battle stations. Missile tubes 13-24, load the large tail missiles. High-energy convergent beam cannon, activate. Main components, activate. Input target data, quickly."

The radar operator said nervously, "Unit identification, these are X Series: Duel, Buster, Blitz."

Nataru Bagiruru asked in surprise, "What..."

Mwu La Flaga said helplessly, "I didn't expect ZAFT to deploy all the stolen Gs into actual combat so quickly."

The bridge was filled with a tense atmosphere.

Thor Klune, standing nearby, heard that the three ZAFT aces had already come out in the Duel, Buster, and Blitz Gundams. He prayed inwardly.

[Emperor Jade, Heavens, God, Buddha, whoever you are, please help me.

Please ensure it goes the same as the original plot, with no danger and no mistakes.

I haven't even piloted an MS or MA yet, I don't want to die this early.]
