SEED - Repair

Mwu Lamias looked helplessly at Mu La Flaga.

"Defense counsel, please watch what you say.

"Kira Yamato's actions violated Military Law Article 3, Section B and Article 10, Section F, and also conflicted with Article 13, Clause 3.

"This court sentences the defendant to death."

Kira Yamato was startled by Mwu Lamias's death sentence, his face turning ashen.

Thor Knig exclaimed that Mwu Lamias really knew how to play around. He was rooting for her.

Mwu Lamias continued.

"But ultimately, this is a ruling by a Military Tribunal, and this court has no authority to sentence civilians.

"I hope Kira Yamato will act more cautiously in the future. This court is adjourned."

Kira Yamato finally let out a sigh of relief and asked.

"Then..."

Mu La Flaga, standing beside him, also relaxed. He happily rose to his feet and said to Kira Yamato.

"It means you're not to act on your own again."

This farce finally came to an end, and Kira Yamato left the interrogation room as well.

Sai Argyle and Miriaria Haw, who had been waiting at the door with Thor Knig, stepped forward and asked.

"Kira, are you all right? What did they say? Did you get a week of toilet cleaning too?"

Mu La Flaga came out as well and joked.

"That's a good idea. That wouldn't be bad at all."

Then Mwu Lamias and Natale Badgiruel came out and left together.

Sai Argyle said.

"Yeah, so it's just the three of us?"

Miriaria Haw said, "Sergeant Madoc gave us a vicious scolding."

Then she continued, imitating Sergeant Madoc's expression.

"Don't you know what the word 'danger' means?"

Thor Knig spread his hands and said.

"You guys got off easy. I have to help the maintenance crew clean the hangar and work on Mobile Suit repairs.

"I'd originally won a bet with Sergeant Madoc, so he was supposed to help modify the Moebius Kai. Now it's all gone down the drain."

Kira Yamato said apologetically, "Sorry. I'll help."

"No need." x3

Sai Argyle said, "We'll be meeting up with the Eighth Fleet soon. It's no big deal."

Thor Knig deliberately spoke before Sai Argyle could.

"Kira, Kazu and I heard your conversation with that girl. The one piloting the Aegis Gundam is your friend, right?"

Kira Yamato was greatly shocked. Thor Knig decided not to let Sai speak, afraid that he would ruin his relationship with Kira.

Thor went straight over, hugged Kira, and pretended to be deeply moved as he said.

"But Kira, you really are our best friend.

"You came back. You didn't abandon us to go with him. That's really great.

"We're best friends. Best friends."

Kira Yamato pushed Thor Knig away.

"Thor, don't be so mushy. All right, I get it. We're best friends."

Thor Knig inwardly grumbled, *I've sacrificed this much, and you're still not even a little moved.

You actually called me mushy. That's awful.

I was planning to save your little girlfriend Frey at the end. I want to see how she and Lacus manage to coexist.

I only want Miriaria, yet you're such a womanizer.

Heh heh. You'll have a hard time then.*

Sai Argyle and Miriaria Haw said.

"All right, we're going to change shifts. See you later."

Thor Knig left with them as well, because he knew Frey Alusta was nearby.

He did not want to awkwardly run into Frey Alusta, that woman who had already gone mad. Crazy women like that were the most terrifying.

Thor Knig arrived at the Archangel's hangar, found Sergeant Madoc, saluted him, and said.

"Sergeant Madoc, Volunteer Thor Knig reporting for duty. Please give your orders."

"All right, brat, cut that out and get to work."

Thor Knig said with a grin.

"Hehehe, all right, no problem, Uncle Maddock."

Sergeant Madoc had just turned to leave when he suddenly turned back and said.

"Kid, right. I want you to help me analyze something.

"When we meet up with the Earth Federation Army's Eighth Fleet next time, do you think ZAFT will attack?"

Thor Knig put on a serious expression, nodded, and said.

"Mm, definitely. There'll be a big battle then.

"After all, it'll be their last chance to intercept the Archangel. ZAFT absolutely won't give it up.

"And they definitely won't allow the Earth Federation Army to possess powerful weapons like Gundams.

"So I'll have to trouble Sergeant Madoc to repair my Gear as quickly as possible. It would be best if you could strengthen it a little too."

Thor Knig deliberately paused, then continued while looking seriously into Sergeant Madoc's eyes.

"After all, next time won't be as simple as three Gears and one Aegis Gundam.

"By then, there might be more than a dozen Gears, along with the Aegis, Duel, Buster, and Blitz—four Gundams.

"You know that the Earth Federation Army's Moebius units and warships are like toys before four Gundams, unable to withstand a single blow.

"Only the Archangel counts as any real combat strength.

"If things go badly, Earth's Eighth Fleet might be completely wiped out."

Sergeant Madoc was frightened pale by Thor Knig's words and could not say anything.

Mu La Flaga walked over from the side and said.

"Kid, your analysis makes a lot of sense.

"Now that you put it that way, we really will be in danger when we rendezvous with the Eighth Fleet."

Mu La Flaga patted Sergeant Madoc on the shoulder and said.

"You'll have to work some serious overtime. Otherwise, when the battle starts, it'll be bad if we have no machines to sortie in.

"Thor Knig, same goes for you. Since you've analyzed ZAFT military's next move, what are you still doing here?

"Go train properly. Next time, try to pick up a few more Gears.

"Of course, if there are Gundams among them, that would be even better."

Thor Knig saluted Mu La Flaga.

"Yes, Captain Mu. Volunteer Thor Knig will proceed to training immediately."

Thor Knig immediately drifted toward the training room, secretly delighted.

Plan successful. No more cleaning toilets, the hangar, or repairing machines. I'm a genius. Hahahaha.

A few days later, Thor Knig's Blitz Gear was repaired as well.

Its performance had also been slightly enhanced using parts from the three Gears.

Its original rear thrusters were removed, and the modified Moebius Kai was directly transformed into a backpack modeled after the later Justice Gundam.

It could also separate and combine, and after adding interchangeable parts, it could be used on the Strike Gundam as well.

The Moebius Kai's four mechanical arms were extended, while its Wave-Motion Defense System was retained.

Thor Knig could now simply call this Blitz Gear the Hyperion Blitz Gear.
