While dodging the attacks, the Ginn in his hands also opened fire with its Heavy Assault Machine Gun, firing one bullet after another.
The bullets flew out of the muzzle in every direction.
Boom!
An explosion rang out.
A Vanguard Fighter was pierced through the fuselage and exploded instantly.
Thump!
A loud impact rang out as something was pierced.
A Vanguard Fighter was hit in its left wing. Thick smoke billowed from the shattered wing, and the fighter spiraled out of control toward the ground.
Thump!
Another loud impact rang out as something was pierced.
A Vanguard Fighter was hit in its right wing. Thick smoke poured from the shredded wing. The pilot tried desperately to control the fighter's flight, but it was no use. It plunged out of control toward the ground.
As the two fighters continued to fall from such a height, their pilots knew there was no way to save them. Without the slightest hesitation, they chose to eject.
The hatches blew open, and the ejection systems activated.
The two pilots were launched into the air, where they slowly descended toward the ground under their parachutes.
Just as they were about to land safely, an explosion sounded overhead.
The destroyed fighters broke into countless fragments that rained down toward the ground. By sheer bad luck, the sharp fragments, flying at tremendous speed, sliced through both pilots' parachutes.
Large holes appeared in the parachutes.
"Ah!"
The two men screamed in terror.
Their damaged parachutes were useless, and there was nothing to slow their descent. Under the force of gravity, they fell faster and faster, drawing ever closer to the ground—and to death.
While the two men were on their way to their deaths, someone above them had already taken that road ahead of them.
Three Vanguard Fighters attacked Felix's Ginn from three directions, their cannons unleashing a hail of fire from all sides.
In the face of this assault, Felix remained calm and controlled the Ginn, making extremely subtle maneuvers to dodge the attacks coming from three directions.
The Ginn raised its weapon and fired at the Vanguard Fighter ahead.
Rat-tat!
Two shots rang out, and bullets flew from the muzzle.
One bullet was bait, drawing the Vanguard Fighter into making a maneuver. The other, guided by Felix's precise calculations and prediction, crossed the path it took—and as it passed, blew apart the fighter's nose.
Boom!
A loud explosion rang out.
The Vanguard Fighter exploded and broke apart in midair.
After taking care of that one, the Ginn turned and opened fire on the other two Vanguard Fighters.
With a few simple maneuvers, it took them out with one shot apiece.
Once he was done, Felix had no time to rest. His hands kept moving over the controls as he fired at the Vanguard Fighters in the sky.
Thump!
A bullet hit a Vanguard Fighter's wing. Thick smoke poured from the damaged section, and the fighter plunged out of control toward the ground.
Thump!
Another bullet struck a Vanguard Fighter, this time hitting the exhaust nozzle of its rear thruster. Its propulsion system was damaged, robbing it of the thrust it needed to remain airborne.
It kept losing altitude, hurtling straight toward the ground.
Seeing what had happened to the two fighters, the other Ginns didn't hesitate to finish them off.
"Damn it!"
He snarled, his face twisted as he fought to save himself, but it was already too late. The bullets struck the fighter with unerring accuracy.
After the second attack, the two damaged fighters broke apart and exploded in midair. Watching them blow up, the Ginn pilots turned and opened fire on the other Vanguard Fighters.
Meanwhile, on the ground...
The Earth Alliance Forces' ground troops were having a hard time too.
"Damn it! What are those air force guys doing? How could they let ZAFT Forces free up a few mobile suits to attack us on the ground? How are we supposed to deal with that?"
A tank commander's face was tense and twisted with anger as he cursed. After speaking, he ordered the driver to weave desperately across the ground.
The gunner aimed at a Ginn in the sky through the optical sensor.
"Damn it! They're so maneuverable up there that there's no way to get a lock!"
After several attempts and a few shots, the gunner complained in despair. Hearing him, the commander replied calmly from inside the tank.
"The more we're under pressure, the less we can panic. Otherwise, what awaits me—"
He stopped halfway through his sentence. His eyes widened in terror, the fear of death plain on his face.
Boom!
Under his horrified gaze, a violent explosion tore through their tank. He would have to wait until the next world to finish what he had been saying.
After mowing down the ground forces, the Ginn turned from the destroyed tank and went after the others.
Boom!
Another explosion, and another tank blew up on the ground.
As the tanks on the ground were blown apart, Vanguard Fighters in the sky were being shot down as well.
Felix piloted the Ginn and shot down a Vanguard Fighter. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the state of another fighter. He worked the controls, and the Ginn raised its weapon and fired.
Rat!
A bullet shot from the barrel.
Thump!
It struck the Vanguard Fighter.
Boom!
A moment later, the fighter erupted in a violent explosion. A ball of fire appeared in the sky, and the fighter broke into fragments that fell toward the ground.
"Pay more attention to your surroundings during a battle. Don't focus all your attention on your target."
After helping his subordinate deal with the threat, Felix reminded him over the comms. As he spoke, he maneuvered the Ginn to dodge an attack, raised its weapon, and fired.
Thump!
The bullet pierced the Vanguard Fighter's nose!
The nose was torn apart, killing the pilot instantly. A moment later, the fighter exploded and broke apart.
"I understand, Captain!"
A reply came through the comms.
Hearing it, Felix gave a quiet hum. He controlled the Ginn as it changed magazines, then had it fling the spent magazine forward with its other hand.
The magazine flew ahead.
Seeing it coming, the Vanguard Fighter's pilot maneuvered to dodge. Just as the fighter finished its evasive move, a bullet came hurtling toward it.
By the time the pilot tried to dodge, it was too late.
The bullet struck the fighter's nose with pinpoint accuracy.
Boom!
An explosion rang out, and the pilot and fighter were swallowed by the flames in midair. Amid the blaze, the Vanguard Fighter's fragments rained down toward the ground.
After firing, the Ginn flew through the sky under Felix's control, dodging incoming attacks as it approached a Vanguard Fighter. Then it drew the Heavy Slash Blade from its waist.
It slashed the fighter across the nose.
The nose shattered instantly, killing the pilot on the spot.
The fighter plunged out of control toward the ground.
He sheathed the blade, raised his weapon, and fired.
The bullet shot from the muzzle, racing toward another Vanguard Fighter.
Boom!
An explosion rang out in the distance.
