"No way—the captain was even stronger than during the simulation battles..."
Setona was dealing with drones, occasionally finding time to watch the battle.
When she saw the fight between Kira and Neo, she was completely stunned.
They were two storms.
Someone at her level would probably be killed in a single shot the moment she went up against them.
Forget her—even among all the pilots here, not one could intervene in this battle.
Clang—!
The blinding beam particles collided violently, scattering in every direction! The immense impact made both machines shake fiercely.
The two Gundams separated for the moment, then crashed into each other again.
Shinrai's composite saber contained not only powerful physical kinetic force, but also unstable energy currents that tried to erode Freedom's beam blade.
"What kind of technique is this?!"
Kira did not understand.
Inori Yuzuriha said nothing.
"Then how about this, Kira!"
After missing with one strike, Shinrai Gundam's leg thrusters erupted. The machine instantly pulled back, while the hidden micro-missile pods on its shoulders opened. Dozens of high-speed armor-piercing missiles shot out like a swarm of bees, covering every possible direction Freedom Gundam could evade toward!
"The anti-air network has been deployed. All gun ports, deploy."
Inori Yuzuriha deployed the defensive network.
"Analysis indicates that the enemy unit has hIE support," Inori Yuzuriha said.
"Yeah, I'll leave the defense to you, Inori."
"Understood."
Kira's reactions reached their peak in SEED mode.
The instant she entered Freedom Gundam, Kira had already activated Burst Mode.
In this state, linked with the Radiant Communicator, she could unleash her greatest combat power.
"All missiles, targets locked," Inori Yuzuriha said.
The "Rainbow Cannons" on Freedom Gundam's back all unfolded and completed charging.
"Our attack has been detected," Kurenai likewise concluded aboard Shinrai.
"Fire," Inori Yuzuriha said. **Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
