SEED - Fierce Battle

Thor Klune also chased directly after them, completely ignoring Frey Alsta's presence.

He spoke to Kira as they ran together.

"Kira, we're going to fight side-by-side again, but this time I'll be piloting an MS.

Stay safe on the battlefield later, and please look out for me."

Kira Yamato nodded in response.

"Yeah, okay Thor, you stay safe too. If things get too much, just run back to the Archangel, and I'll cover you."

"Thanks, Kira. But I overheard on the bridge earlier, there aren't many enemies.

Just three Gs, and one Aegis Gundam that was stolen by ZAFT."

As soon as Kira heard "Aegis Gundam," his expression immediately soured.

Thor Klune, seeing his change in expression, continued.

"Kira, when we get there, I'll ask you to try and keep the Aegis Gundam busy.

I'll hold off the other three Gs. Let's do our best."

"Thor, don't worry about the Aegis Gundam, I'll handle it.

But can you do it? You have to face three Gs."

"Aren't there also Earth Federation Army Moebius units and warships? I'm sure I'll be fine.

Speaking of the Earth Federation Army, though, I'm piloting the Blitz Gear. I wonder if I'll accidentally get shot by them."

Kira Yamato shook his head. "Don't worry, Thor. The identification signals have been changed, so friendly fire shouldn't happen."

"Okay, that's good, that's good."

The two quickly arrived at the Archangel's hangar. Mu La Flaga was already prepared.

He was already piloting the Moebius Zero and ready to sortie.

Thor Klune and Kira Yamato also quickly changed into their space suits, preparing to sortie.

After changing, Thor Klune walked up to his Blitz Gear and saw Sergeant Madoc standing nearby. He then teased him.

"Heh heh, Uncle Madoc, you lost, didn't you?

Just fulfill your promise. Remember to finish modifying my Moebius Custom as soon as possible."

Sergeant Madoc said reluctantly, "Sigh~ I lost, and now I have to work overtime.

But, kid, this is your first time piloting an MS into battle. Be careful, and have a safe trip."

Thor Klune smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm still waiting for you to finish modifying the Moebius Custom. I'll definitely be back."

Kira Yamato, standing nearby, also got into the Strike Gundam. Miriallia Haw's voice came through the communicator.

"Kira, the enemy has one Nacskha-class battleship and three Gs. The Aegis Gundam is also there, so be extremely careful."

Kira Yamato nodded. "Thank you, Miriallia. Thor already told me."

Just as Kira Yamato was about to sortie in the Strike Gundam.

Sai Argyle's voice came through the communicator.

"Kira, Frey Alsta's father is with the vanguard. Please, I'm counting on you."

Kira nodded. "Understood."

Then, he piloted the Strike Gundam, equipped with aerial combat gear, and sortie, flying out of the Archangel.

Next, Thor Klune, who was about to sortie in his Blitz Gear, also heard Miriallia Haw's voice through his communicator.

"Thor, be careful. I'll be waiting for you to come back, and then we..."

Thor Klune immediately broke out in a cold sweat and stopped Miriallia Haw from continuing.

"Miriallia, stop, stop.

Don't say any more.

You saying that is like putting a curse on me, it's too ominous."

Then, he gently said to her.

"Miriallia, Thor Klune, Blitz Gear, sortie."

Following that, Thor Klune piloted the Blitz Gear and sortie, also flying out of the Archangel.

On the battlefield, the Earth Federation Army's Moebius units had been almost completely wiped out by the three Gs and the Aegis Gundam.

The warships had also sustained varying degrees of damage. The situation was not optimistic.

The Archangel continuously fired its Single Linear Cannon, Twin High-energy Beam Cannon, and occasionally launched Large Missiles at the Gs and the Aegis Gundam.

The Strike Gundam and the Blitz Gear were still rapidly heading towards the vanguard's battlefield.

The Aegis Gundam on the battlefield was incredibly fierce, constantly destroying Moebius units with its Beam Gun.

It even found time to transform into MA mode and used its abdominal 580mm Fixed Energy Cannon to destroy an Earth Federation Army escort ship.

The Earth Federation Army's escort ship exploded directly into the sky, creating a massive fireball.

At this moment, it was likely Athrun Zala, piloting the Aegis Gundam, who spotted Kira Yamato in the Strike Gundam.

He rapidly closed in on Kira Yamato's position.

Thor Klune activated his communicator and said to Kira Yamato.

"Kira, the Aegis Gundam is here. I'll go on ahead. It's up to you, be careful."

"Understood, Thor. You be careful too."

Then, Thor Klune piloted the Blitz Gear, maneuvering it to avoid the Aegis Gundam.

Athrun Zala didn't even glance at the Blitz Gear, heading straight for the Strike Gundam.

Thor Klune watched the Aegis Gundam brush past him, finally letting out a sigh of relief. He then said to Nami.

"Nami, assimilate this Blitz Gear and assist me in piloting it.

Also, the usual: spread some new DG Cells on the battlefield and have them collect supplies."

"Master, Nami received.

Work has arrived, work has arrived! Little ones, let's get to it."

Following that, the Blitz Gear was quickly assimilated by Nami, and the new DG Cells used phantom particles to become completely invisible as they entered the battlefield.

On Kira Yamato's side, this battle was much more intense than before. They were constantly exchanging beam gun fire with the Aegis Gundam, and occasionally clashing beam swords.

On the vanguard's battlefield, Mu La Flaga, who had arrived first, piloted the Moebius Zero, continuously attacking three Gearing units with his linear gun.

One of the Gearing units was hit by his linear gun, and Mu La Flaga quickly followed up with a strike from his four wire-guided pods.

Unfortunately, it only damaged the Gearing unit, failing to render it completely incapable of action.

The other two Gearing units, seeing their comrade injured by the Moebius Zero, immediately came to its aid, relentlessly firing rocket launchers at it.

The Moebius Zero merely dodged and weaved, then seized an opening when one of the Gearing units made a mistake, striking again with its four wire-guided pods.

However, Mu La Flaga wasn't as lucky this time and was directly hit by one of the Gearing units.

Fortunately, Mu La Flaga's Moebius Zero managed to evade slightly, losing all its wire-guided pods but only sustaining damage to its body. Thankfully, neither the mobile suit nor its pilot was destroyed.

Thor, seeing the damaged Moebius Zero from afar, casually lifted his sniper beam rifle with his left hand.

He fired a shot directly at the Gearing unit pursuing the Moebius Zero, blowing its head clean off.

The Gearing unit whose head had been blown off paused for a moment, then retreated directly towards its allies.
