"World Tree" Offensive and Defensive Battle (1)

The bullets fired from the muzzle streaked through space, striking the warhead of the incoming missile with pinpoint accuracy. The immense kinetic energy detonated the fuse at the tip, which in turn triggered the high-energy explosives packed within the rear section.

Accompanied by the explosion of the high-energy payload, the missile vanished instantly into the void. Having neutralized the projectile, Felix piloted his White Ginn and opened fire on the remaining missiles.

Under his precise calculations, every bullet fired found its mark, shattering each missile in turn.

With all missile attacks neutralized by Felix and the other ZAFT soldiers, the unit continued its advance.

"We are thirty kilometers out from a formal engagement with the Earth Alliance Forces. Everyone, keep your heads in the game. Rookies, stick close to the veterans and do not push too deep into the battlefield."

Watching the distance steadily shrink, Felix issued his final instructions to the members of Griffith Squad over the comms.

"Yes, Captain!"

A chorus of crisp, synchronized replies echoed through the channel.

After hearing the responses, Felix fell silent, continuing to push the White Ginn forward.

The thirty-kilometer gap closed to twenty-five.

The calm space ahead was suddenly broken by another wave of missiles and beam fire.

Dodging the beam attacks, Felix piloted the White Ginn and returned fire, targeting the missiles and the shells launched by electromagnetic cannons.

One by one, the missiles were successfully shot down.

Shortly after clearing the projectiles, a series of bright spots appeared on the radar.

As he watched the display, Felix zoomed in on his screen, revealing Moebius units carrying missiles, flanked by other Moebius units equipped with large-caliber cannons for escort.

The cannon-equipped Moebius units surged to the front, their pilots pulling the triggers as shells erupted from their barrels.

The flashes of light from the muzzles were starkly visible on the screen before Felix.

He manipulated the White Ginn, executing a series of rolls and lateral maneuvers in space to evade the incoming hail of bullets.

The White Ginn raised its Heavy Assault Machine Gun.

His finger tightened on the trigger.

Bullets tore from the muzzle.

The first three rounds pierced the space where the Moebius was maneuvering according to Felix's prediction, and the fourth round struck the craft directly along its flight path, punching through its hull.

After destroying that Moebius, the White Ginn performed a micro-adjustment maneuver to dodge incoming fire.

Felix kept his eyes locked on the next Moebius.

After a brief feint, he had mapped out the pilot's habitual evasive patterns and opened fire based on those tendencies.

The bullets struck the Moebius with predictive precision.

"Everyone, be careful! The pilot of this MS is bizarre; he's incredibly skilled at predicting our flight paths. Switch to irregular maneuvers as much as possible. Don't let him find a pattern!"

With two comrades lost to Felix, the other Moebius pilots had realized the strange nature of his tactics.

One of the pilots warned his comrades over the comms.

Immediately, the six remaining Moebius units began erratic, irregular maneuvers, circling the White Ginn while maintaining a constant barrage of fire.

Bullets converged on the White Ginn from multiple directions.

Felix watched the projectiles closing in from all sides as the radar blared with urgent, rapid-fire warnings, selecting the optimal evasion trajectory in a split second.

Under his constant control, the White Ginn danced through space, dodging one lethal attack after another.

While evading, the White Ginn's Heavy Assault Machine Gun continued to spit fire.

The presence of the bullets disrupted the Moebius units' formations, causing their attack frequency to falter. Seizing this brief opening, Felix locked onto a direction and surged forward, the Ginn accelerating rapidly.

He dodged through the incoming fire during the sprint, closing the distance entirely.

The Ginn and the Moebius were now at point-blank range!

The disparity between the MA and the MS was laid bare in that instant.

The Moebius attempted to use its mobility to escape the danger, but Felix, piloting the Ginn, gave it no chance at all.

He swung the Heavy Slash Blade!

With a single strike, he cleaved the Moebius in two.

Having destroyed the unit, Felix maneuvered the White Ginn to spin around and open fire on the rear.

He pulled the trigger twice, firing in two different directions.

The first bullet disrupted the Moebius's flight path.

The second bullet pierced the craft as it attempted to adjust its trajectory.

With that done, Felix continued the battle.

The Ginn charged toward another Moebius head-on, Felix using micro-maneuvers to slip between the incoming rounds.

Inside the cockpit of the Moebius...

"Damn it! Why is this guy so strong? He's leagues above the other ZAFT forces! Why!"

He gritted his teeth and let out a low growl.

His hands didn't falter for a second, continuing to maneuver the Moebius in an attempt to shake the White Ginn off his tail.

The two chased each other through space for a distance, with Felix constantly disrupting the Moebius's flight path through long-range attacks, severely hindering the speed of the constantly harassed Moebius.

The White Ginn seized the opportunity to catch up.

He swung the Heavy Slash Blade in his hand down in a single strike.

The Moebius was instantly cleaved in two.

After blowing up that Moebius, Felix turned to deal with the others.

Seeing a comrade in a predicament on his screen, he didn't have a single extraneous thought as he fired his Heavy Assault Machine Gun to provide cover.

The incoming bullets disrupted the maneuvers of the two Moebius units.

The encirclement they had formed developed a gap at that very moment, and the ZAFT MS pilot seized the chance, maneuvering his Ginn to charge toward one of the Moebius units.

He used his Heavy Assault Machine Gun to blow that Moebius to pieces.

"Thanks!"

Looking at Felix's White Ginn, he expressed his gratitude over the comms.

Inside the cockpit of the White Ginn.

Felix heard the voice of thanks coming through the comms and replied in a flat tone.

"Don't mention it!"

As he spoke, he simultaneously maneuvered the Ginn to dodge an attack.

He opened fire with the Heavy Assault Machine Gun in his hand.

The bullets were dodged by the Moebius.

A Moebius from another direction opened fire on Felix once again.

Felix piloted the White Ginn to evade.

After dodging the attack, he fired back with the Heavy Assault Machine Gun in his hand.

The Moebius pilot maneuvered his craft to dodge.

Just then, a Moebius moved behind the Ginn, preparing to open fire on the White Ginn.

But the moment it moved behind him, the White Ginn had already detected the situation via radar; before the enemy could fire, the arm rotated backward and his finger pulled the trigger.

The Heavy Assault Machine Gun opened fire first!
