Xiao Ran did not go after the Librarian's MS directly. Instead, he made the lunatics who had caused Junius 7 to move his primary targets. Compared to the Librarian's MS, these former ZAFT soldiers who had been talked into this by an old fox were far easier to deal with. Once they were wiped out, the Librarian's MS would no longer pose much of an obstacle due to their overwhelming numerical disadvantage.
Chaos Gundam's arrival was like a shot in the arm for ZAFT. Before even joining the battle head-on, it had already destroyed several units with its Dragon Fangs. Once it fully entered the battlefield, it crushed several more MS from a squad heading toward a damaged device, then began darting back and forth across the battlefield, picking off MS that were obstructing the demolition effort one by one. In particular, it repeatedly came to the rescue of ZAFT's demolition squads, causing the Side Mission completion rate to surge by nearly another ten percent in a short time.
"Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran, is that you, Xiao Ran!?" Mwu's voice finally came through the Team Communicator that had remained connected. "Where are you?"
The Team Communicator had a fairly wide communication range, especially in space. The Second Archangel had now appeared near Junius 7 and was slowly opening its forward hatch. It had indeed entered the Team Communicator's effective range.
In the middle of battle, Chaos Gundam suddenly came to an abrupt halt and turned, instantly evading several attacks from behind. Its six Dragon Fangs changed direction in an instant and flew backward, firing a dense web of beams. Only after destroying the two units that had tried to ambush Chaos Gundam did Xiao Ran speak with a faint smile.
"Mwu, it's me. I can already see the Second Archangel."
