The sudden burst of gunfire caught the Moebius pilot off guard. He had no time to keep firing and hurriedly gripped the controls, maneuvering to evade.
Under his control, the Moebius abruptly pitched up. Its powerful thrusters sent it maneuvering rapidly at an upward angle.
The Moebius had barely flown for a moment when it collided with a bullet.
The pilot's desperate desire to live ultimately came to nothing. He perished in the inferno created by the Moebius's explosion, not a trace of his remains left behind.
After blasting the Moebius apart, Felix maneuvered the White Ginn into a swift turn.
He raised his gun and fired!
Two bullets shot from the muzzle, streaking through the air and disrupting the Moebius that was preparing to fire.
They forced the pilot to maneuver and dodge.
As the Moebius dodged, Felix turned and fired at another one.
He disrupted this Moebius in the same way.
Unable to line up a shot against him, the two Moebius units gave Felix a brief opening. He piloted the White Ginn toward one of them.
As he went, he dodged the bullets the Moebius fired with deft maneuvers. While evading its attacks, Felix also kept track of the other two Moebius units.
Seeing one of them disappear from view ahead, Felix piloted the White Ginn clear of the incoming fire, then turned and fired behind him.
He thwarted any chance of a sneak attack from the rear.
Having done that, he turned the White Ginn back toward the Moebius.
The distance narrowed little by little, while bullets continually disrupted the Moebius's movements.
With both factors working in his favor, the White Ginn charged right up to it. Felix already had the Heavy Slash Blade in hand, and with one swing of the long, razor-sharp blade, he cleaved the Moebius in two.
After taking it out, Felix piloted the White Ginn away in a swift maneuver, dodging all the incoming bullets.
He raised the Heavy Assault Machine Gun and fired at a Moebius ahead.
The Moebius pilot maneuvered to evade.
He turned the autocannon toward the White Ginn and opened fire.
Under Felix's control, the White Ginn maneuvered clear of the attack.
Felix raised the Heavy Assault Machine Gun and fired again.
He picked the perfect moment and angle for this shot. The Moebius pilot was caught completely off guard; by the time he noticed, it was too late to dodge.
All he could do was feel the Moebius explode around him in terror.
Meanwhile...
Aboard the flagship where the commander was stationed.
"How are things now?"
Looking ahead, the commander asked.
The adjutant at his side reported the current situation.
"Commander, our forces are currently locked in fierce combat with the Earth Alliance Forces. Their warships have already advanced.
"Among the Earth Alliance Forces' MA Moebius units, we've confirmed that some are carrying nuclear bombs and have appeared on the battlefield."
"In that case, it's time to test our new equipment. Tell all units to prepare for the side effects of the Neutron Jammer."
After hearing the report, the commander gave the adjutant his orders.
The adjutant received the order and relayed it to all the warships and unit commanders in ZAFT's assault force.
The warships temporarily equipped with Neutron Jammers received the order and watched the timer, silently counting down.
The moment the countdown ended, the captain gave the order.
"Activate the Neutron Jammers!"
At the command, the Neutron Jammers activated and began disrupting neutrons throughout their coverage areas. As they interfered with neutron movement, their side effects began to manifest as well.
On the front lines.
Piloting the White Ginn, Felix could clearly feel that the radar was no longer working properly, while communications with his teammates had also been severely disrupted.
"Still, we were in too much of a hurry! If we'd had more time, we could've modified them to use Laser Radar and laser communications, which would've reduced the interference considerably."
Taking it all in, Felix murmured to himself.
Meanwhile...
Inside a Moebius cockpit.
"What's going on? Why isn't the radar working?"
As the pilot tried to use his radar to lock onto the White Ginn, he realized it wouldn't lock on.
The warning radar had also stopped working.
In short, after checking, he found that none of the radar equipment was working. The only thing he could still use was the optical sensor.
"Can anyone hear me? Respond!"
Realizing this, the pilot tried desperately to contact his teammates, only to find that the communications that usually worked without a hitch were now useless too.
Unable to reach his fellow soldiers, he grew even more frightened and agitated, repeatedly calling out over the radio.
As he called, Felix aimed the White Ginn at him and opened fire. The image from the optical sensor showed an attack coming his way.
He hurriedly piloted the Moebius into an evasive maneuver.
As the Moebius fled, its blind spot turned toward Felix.
Watching the Moebius maneuver, Felix decisively pulled the trigger.
One shot blew the Moebius apart in an instant.
After taking him out, Felix maneuvered toward another Moebius.
"Can anyone hear me? Respond! Can anyone hear me?"
Repeated calls rang out across the bridge of a Drake-class warship belonging to the Earth Alliance Forces' First Fleet.
There was no reply. The communications operator reported to the captain.
"Captain, we've lost contact with our forces. We can't reach either the MA units or the other warships."
Bang!
At the news, the captain slammed a fist into the armrest, his face contorted with anger as he growled,
"Damn Coordinators! What kind of technology are they using?"
After shouting, he ordered the communications operator,
"Keep trying to contact them!"
"Understood!"
The communications operator replied and continued working.
To the left of this Drake-class warship was another vessel of the same class, suffering even more severe effects.
"Captain, the reactor has stopped."
A crewman in the engine room reported to the bridge over the ship's internal wired communications.
As he spoke, the crewman continued inspecting the reactor and trying to restart it.
On the bridge.
"Switch to the conventional power plant to ensure the ship can move. Keep trying to restart the reactor as well."
After learning that the reactor had stopped working, the captain issued his orders. The engine-room crewman heard him and replied,
"Yes, Captain!"
