Chapter 1610: Axis
In space, the Burning Legion, Nadeshiko, and Eternal traveled side by side at tremendous speed. Ahead of the three ships floated a massive asteroid—or rather, a massive asteroid that had been modified. It was located far from Earth, in a place difficult to detect.
Accompanying the two warships were not only Kira, Athrun, and the others aboard the Eternal, but also Cruze, Graham, Nalo, Murrue Ramius, Banagher, Tobia, Kim Kido, and others. There were also several units from the Gundam Squad led by Gido: the ZZ Gundam, Hyaku Shiki, MK-II, the two Qubeley MK-IIs piloted by the Puru sisters, the Brave Express Squad, the Gold Astray, and more.
Of course, Black Lily and several Summer Flowers were also among them.
Countless lights of different colors flickered across the asteroid's surface. The regularly glowing yellow lights, the red lights flashing repeatedly at fixed intervals, and the white lights that occasionally circled the asteroid with long tails behind them all seemed to indicate that this asteroid was far from ordinary.
This asteroid was Axis, the famed space base that had nearly destroyed the world in the UC World. It had once nearly fallen onto Earth, only to be pushed away by Amuro gathering the strength of countless people. Axis, whose traces of existence had been completely erased, had strangely appeared here.
In front of the asteroid, a force made up of MS and warships from different eras of New Zeon blocked the path of the Burning Legion and Nadeshiko. These MS included the now-antiquated Zaku II, the current New Zeon mainstay Gira Zulu, and all manner of transitional models between the two generations.
The same was true of the warships. Several outdated vessels were mixed in as well, though there was no shortage of the main warships currently used
