The Battle Continues, An Anomalous MA

The Ginn raised its Heavy Assault Machine Gun, and the pilot pulled the trigger.

Muzzle flashes erupted!

Three bullets were fired from the barrel.

The bullets streaked forward at three to four times the speed of sound.

Covering a distance of less than twenty kilometers, such high-speed projectiles would arrive in just over ten seconds.

"What!"

The MA pilot exclaimed.

By the time he tried to maneuver his MA to evade, it was already too late; the rapidly approaching bullets gave him no chance to react.

The high-speed bullets instantly pierced the armor of the MA.

They struck the compact battery energy pack inside, causing it to detonate and triggering a chain reaction that turned the MA into an explosion in outer space.

The pilot was swallowed by the flames of the blast.

Seeing their comrade die, the other MA pilots turned their attention to the MS piloted by Felix.

"Everyone, be careful! This guy is tough. Don't follow standard maneuvers anymore; switch to irregular movement patterns."

One MA pilot shouted to his comrades over the comms.

The others immediately executed this strategy.

The remaining MA units began performing irregular maneuvers around the Ginn in space, firing their onboard cannons at the Ginn while moving.

Seeing this, Felix's mind raced as he calculated how to solve the current problem.

While thinking, his MS dodged through the incoming attacks.

A second or two later, Felix found a solution.

Under Felix's control, the Ginn began to maneuver, dodging the incoming bullets and charging straight ahead.

The MA ahead saw this and hurriedly changed its trajectory, coming to a sudden stop in space before attempting to turn.

The moment it turned was its weakest point in terms of firepower.

Felix seized the opportunity and pulled the trigger on his control stick.

The Ginn's Heavy Assault Machine Gun opened fire.

The bullets erupted from the muzzle.

They landed squarely on the MA's propulsion system.

The propulsion system was blown apart, and the MA's mobility was reduced to almost zero in an instant.

As it turned to face the enemy, the Ginn, under Felix's control, had already closed the distance.

He swung the Heavy Slash Blade in his hand!

It slashed cleanly and decisively into the MA.

The sharp, durable blade sliced through the MA's armor, and the pilot was killed instantly by the strike.

The MA he piloted would soon follow him to the grave.

"Another one down!"

He muttered to himself.

Felix piloted his MS to launch attacks on the other MA units.

Meanwhile, Inside the Hangar of the Earth Alliance Forces MA carrier Roosevelt, Soldiers belonging to the Blue Cosmos organization were carrying out orders from their superiors. Three Moebius MA units sat quietly as secret nuclear warheads were being mounted onto their weapon pylons.

"Report, sir, all weapons have been installed!"

Once everything was finished, the soldier reported to his superior.

The report was transmitted, and a reply from the superior soon followed.

"Launch!"

"Understood!"

With those two words, the response ended.

Everyone evacuated the Hangar, and the three Moebius MA units moved toward the launch rails.

As the countdown ended, the three Moebius units carrying the Mk5 Large Nuclear Warhead Missile, accompanied by seven other escort-type Moebius units, launched from the Roosevelt.

They moved at high speed toward the Junius City sectors seven through ten, just as planned.

Under the continuous thrust output of their thrusters, ten specially modified Moebius MA gradually increased their speed, eventually reaching hypersonic velocities as they surged forward.

The sheer speed was enough to shock the eyes!

On the defensive line.

After a bout of combat, Felix had eliminated all the MA that were surrounding him.

Having dealt with these guys, just as he was preparing to engage in other battles, Felix noticed these ten peculiar MA through specific changes in the radar and screen feedback.

Sensing the anomaly, Felix zoomed in on the targets to observe them carefully.

Upon magnifying the view and watching these high-speed maneuvering Moebius, Felix was startled.

The missiles carried by these Moebius were completely incomparable to standard missiles in both size and exterior design.

A thought instantly rose in his mind.

His expression turned shocked and somewhat ferocious, and he immediately locked onto the targets, relaying the information to all comrades he could contact.

"We cannot let these abnormal MA get close to Junius City!"

He roared at the top of his lungs.

Felix maneuvered his Ginn and moved rapidly.

After hearing Felix's gut-wrenching shout over the comms, Heine and the other MS pilots checked the data Felix had shared.

Having seen it, everyone's faces were filled with shock.

Without any hesitation, they turned their MS and charged toward these Moebius.

Seeing this, the Earth Alliance Forces MA pilots, though not understanding what was happening, were not about to let such a golden opportunity slip by.

They piloted their MA to attack ZAFT in a pincer formation.

Anxious to save their homeland, the ZAFT MS pilots focused their attention on protecting Junius City, causing their vigilance against these MA units to drop.

Several Ginn were destroyed under their siege.

The defensive line they had built began to falter, and the battlefield constantly shifted toward the space colony.

Amidst the flames.

A ZAFT Champion piloting a Ginn sacrificed his life.

Even with such sacrifices, it did not stop the ZAFT forces from going all out to charge toward those Moebius MA.

As the vanguard, Felix dodged incoming attacks from behind while rapidly advancing toward his targets.

Over the comms.

Heine's voice rang out at this moment.

"Felix, these Moebius are splitting up!"

"Heine, I'll take the Moebius heading for Junius Seven and Eight; you take the ones for Junius Nine and Junius Ten."

No sooner had this arrangement been made than the voice of their captain, Hawkins, sounded over the comms.

"Both of you head to the Junius Seven and Eight sectors; leave the Nine and Ten sectors to us."

Hearing the captain's voice, Felix voiced no objections.

He continued to push his Ginn forward.

At this moment, Heine's voice sounded again.

"Felix, just keep charging ahead; leave the MA pursuing us to me."

After saying this, Heine brought his Ginn to an emergency halt, turned around, and engaged the pursuing MA units.

Hearing Heine's arrangement, Felix grunted in the comms, then went all out to continue his sprint forward.

He opened fire on the targets with his Heavy Assault Machine Gun.

After several tense and somewhat impatient bursts of fire, he missed repeatedly due to the high-speed movement and maneuvering of the Moebius.

Felix's tense emotions grew even more agitated.

Under this agitation, Felix warned himself not to lose his focus, or it would become even harder to intercept them.
