SEED - Repel

Meanwhile, Moebius Zero, piloted by Mu La Flaga, was still stealthily approaching a ZAFT Nacskha-class battleship.

Kira Yamato, piloting the Strike Gundam, dodged the Duel Gundam's attacks while slowly retreating towards the Archangel.

Just then, the Archangel's radar operator issued a warning.

"ZAFT Nacskha-class battleship ahead, showing targeting indicators, locking onto this vessel. We've been targeted."

Nataru Bagiruru called out to Mwu La Flaga, but Mwu La Flaga was lost in thought and didn't respond.

She immediately gave the order, "Positron Cannon, prepare to fire."

Hearing the Positron Cannon, Mwu La Flaga snapped out of her daze and retorted.

"Wait, Moebius Zero, piloted by Mu La Flaga, is still approaching the enemy. Take evasive action."

Nataru Bagiruru disagreed, arguing, "It's too dangerous. If we don't fire, they'll attack us."

While Nataru Bagiruru and Mwu La Flaga were arguing, the radar operator issued another warning.

"Report, Laurasia-class battleship approaching at high speed from the rear."

At the same time, the Strike Gundam, slowly approaching the Archangel, was surrounded by four Gundams: Aegis, Duel, Buster, and Blitz.

The situation was more critical than for the Archangel, and the Strike Gundam's energy was running low.

At this critical moment, the stealthy Moebius Zero finally approached the ZAFT Nacskha-class battleship.

Mu La Flaga accelerated directly towards the Nacskha-class battleship.

At this moment, Rau Le Creuset on the battleship sensed Mu La Flaga's approach and immediately ordered the Nacskha-class battleship to evade.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Moebius Zero unleashed its Linear Gun and Wire-guided Pods at full power.

They struck the Nacskha-class battleship's propulsion engine and cannons, then fired its Grapple Spear, using inertia to quickly change direction.

Mu La Flaga piloted Moebius Zero, rapidly disengaging from the Nacskha-class battleship.

Simultaneously, he sent a communication signal to the Archangel, reporting mission success, enemy ship destroyed, and that he was returning.

The tense atmosphere in the bridge finally dissipated. Mwu La Flaga sighed in relief and said, "Don't let your guard down. Fire on the ZAFT Nacskha-class battleship ahead."

Nataru Bagiruru immediately commanded, "Positron Cannon units 1 and 2, prepare to fire."

Mwu La Flaga said urgently, "Immediately notify Captain Mu La Flaga to leave this airspace. Also notify the Strike Gundam to leave this airspace immediately."

The gunner on the side reported, "Positron chamber has reached critical point, energy conversion stable, firing ports open."

Kira Yamato, piloting the Strike Gundam, received the notification from the Archangel and immediately moved out of the Positron Cannon's firing range.

Two massive red beams shot out from the front of the Archangel, piercing through the entire battlefield.

They flew directly towards the ZAFT Nacskha-class battleship. Rau Le Creuset immediately ordered the battleship to evade.

Unfortunately, it was too late. The Positron Cannon grazed the side of the Nacskha-class battleship, causing a massive explosion.

The Nacskha-class battleship was completely incapacitated.

The radar operator on the Archangel reported, "Nacskha-class battleship has moved off our navigation path."

Mwu La Flaga immediately commanded, "Send a return signal to the Strike Gundam. Archangel will proceed to Artemis at maximum speed."

Kira Yamato, piloting the Strike Gundam, saw the Archangel's return signal flare and wanted to return.

However, the Duel Gundam was still in hot pursuit, relentlessly attacking the Strike Gundam.

The Buster Gundam and Blitz Gundam also joined the fray, cornering and intercepting the Strike Gundam.

Miriallia Haw watched nervously as Kira Yamato was surrounded and pursued by four Gundams, worrying for him.

Mwu La Flaga commanded, "Quickly provide cover for the Strike Gundam."

The Archangel's helmsman said, "We can't do that in this engagement. The Archangel is increasing distance from the Strike Gundam."

Nataru Bagiruru whispered, "I'm really worried about the Strike Gundam's remaining energy."

Mwu La Flaga said anxiously, "I know. Where is Captain Mu La Flaga? Notify him to provide support for the Strike Gundam's return."

Under the relentless pursuit of the four Gundams, the Strike Gundam finally ran out of energy, unable to even fire its beam rifle.

The Strike Gundam's PS Armor also automatically shut down, and the unit turned gray.

Yzak Joule, piloting the Duel Gundam, was still in hot pursuit and was about to strike the Strike Gundam.

At this moment, Athrun Zala, piloting the Aegis Gundam, transformed into MA form and seized the opportunity to grab the powerless Strike Gundam.

The radar operator on the Archangel reported.

"It's caught! The Strike Gundam has been caught by the Aegis Gundam, and the Phase Shift Armor has failed."

Everyone on the bridge was tense, but only Thor Klune knew that Mu La Flaga was about to come to the rescue.

The four Gundams, with the Strike Gundam in tow, returned directly. Kira Yamato, sitting inside the Strike Gundam, was at a loss and panicked.

The radar operator's voice sounded again on the Archangel's bridge.

"Laurasia-class battleship, distance 280."

Miriallia Haw, over the communicator, kept calling Kira's name, hoping for a miracle.

At this moment, a communication was received from Mu La Flaga, which read:

"Prepare the artillery pack, launch the artillery pack, prepare immediately."

As expected, at this critical moment, Mu La Flaga arrived in the Moebius Zero.

He directly attacked the Aegis Gundam, firing all linear guns and wire-guided pods.

The Moebius Zero's shells hit the Aegis Gundam, forcing Athrun Zala to revert to MS form and release the Strike Gundam.

Athrun Zala, enraged, relentlessly pursued the Moebius Zero.

The Strike Gundam immediately took the opportunity to return, and at the same time, the Archangel immediately provided cover for the Strike Gundam's return.

It desperately fired high-energy beam cannons, large missiles, and single linear cannons at the pursuing Duel, Blitz, and Buster Gundams.

Nataru Bagiruru commanded.

"Don't let them get close to the Strike Gundam."

The three Gundams had no choice but to retreat and evade the Archangel's artillery fire.

After the Strike Gundam approached, the Archangel also immediately fired its artillery pack.

Under command, Kira Yamato disengaged the aerial combat equipment and was preparing to switch to the artillery pack.

Just then, the Duel Gundam fired a large grenade launcher at the Strike Gundam.

The large grenade launcher hit the Strike Gundam squarely, emitting a huge and brilliant light.
