Felix shifted his gaze and piloted the Ginn toward another direction. Seeing that the interception near Junius Seven and Junius Ten was going poorly, he headed straight for them without hesitation.
The pursuing Moebius saw the Ginn's flight path and accelerated toward Felix.
Its mounted machine gun opened fire on him.
Muzzle flashes burst one after another.
Seeing this on the screen, Felix maneuvered the Ginn through space.
He dodged the successive waves of bullets.
He raised the Heavy Assault Machine Gun in his hands and aimed at the Moebius ahead, opening fire.
Muzzle flashes erupted from the barrel.
The Moebius maneuvered and turned through space, dodging the bullets.
Several other Moebius units opened fire on Felix, forcing him to keep maneuvering the Ginn to evade their attacks.
After dodging the attacks, the Ginn sped toward one of the Moebius units in his sights.
It weaved through the layers of incoming bullets as it closed in.
The distance between them steadily narrowed!
Seeing this, the Moebius pilot didn't hesitate. He maneuvered to avoid close contact with the Ginn.
The Ginn raised the Heavy Assault Machine Gun in its hands.
It opened fire ahead.
The bullets sealed off the Moebius's possible flight paths, leaving it with fewer and fewer places to maneuver.
In the end, its only option was to engage the Ginn at close range.
The difference between an MA and an MS became immediately apparent when they came into close contact.
With its more agile frame, the MS gripped the Heavy Slash Blade in one hand. The Ginn rolled through space, then brought the blade down on the Moebius.
The sharp edge, combined with the force of the swing, easily pierced the Moebius's armor.
The shattered Moebius exploded in space.
The flash of fire lit up Felix's view.
After destroying the Moebius, Felix called over the comms,
"We have to stop those attacks as quickly as possible!"
After calling out, Felix piloted the Ginn toward Junius Seven, dodging the attacks coming from behind.
He didn't stop to fire back at his pursuers.
The Moebius squadron kept pursuing Felix's Ginn, their machine guns firing nonstop.
Bullets flew past the Ginn.
But none of them managed to hit it.
As he flew,
Felix used the targeting system to line up a shot on the missiles speeding ahead and opened fire.
Bullets burst from the barrel!
More than a dozen bullets shot forward at that instant.
They sped through space, heading straight for the missiles' flight path.
As he watched them fly, Felix turned his gaze toward Junius Ten.
In an instant, his eyes went bloodshot!
He saw that two missiles had still not been intercepted. He saw his comrades fall beneath the Moebius assault.
The sight of the explosions and the missiles racing toward their target made Felix's eyes blaze with fury!
"For PLANT!"
At that moment, Felix heard a voice ring out over the comms, filled with fierce resolve.
He saw a heavily damaged Ginn charge toward the Moebius blocking its path. The Moebius maneuvered to evade its attempt to take them both down, then swung its machine gun around and opened fire.
The bullets from the machine gun destroyed the Ginn!
The flash of fire filled Felix's view.
Watching the flames, Felix gripped the control stick tightly and stared straight ahead.
The bullets he had fired destroyed one of the missiles. The other had been affected, but hadn't exploded.
Its speed had dropped considerably, but it was still racing toward Junius Seven.
Seeing this, Felix prepared to fire again.
Before he could finish aiming, the pursuing Moebius disrupted him. He couldn't aim precisely, and at this distance there was no way to guarantee a hit.
Even so, Felix finally pulled the trigger.
After firing, the Ginn spun around in space, quickly facing the enemy behind it. The sudden turn caught the pursuing Moebius pilots off guard.
The Heavy Assault Machine Gun in the Ginn's hands fired with startling speed.
Two Moebius units were destroyed.
The remaining Moebius units maneuvered to evade, then aimed their machine guns at the Ginn and opened fire.
Felix controlled the Ginn, maneuvering to dodge.
But the bullets he had just fired didn't get lucky and hit the missile as they had before. They only grazed it.
Unaffected, the missile continued toward Junius Seven.
Fortunately, Hawkins had temporarily broken free of the enemy's pursuit and had a chance to fire.
Without hesitation, he activated the targeting system and aimed at the missile.
With the computer's assistance, he calculated its trajectory and speed. Once everything was ready, he took aim and opened fire.
A bullet burst from the barrel.
Just as the bullet left the gun, Hawkins was about to fire again when bullets from a Moebius's machine gun struck the Heavy Assault Machine Gun in his Ginn's hands with pinpoint accuracy.
The machine gun shattered instantly.
Hawkins quickly tossed the assault gun aside and took the Heavy Slash Blade in his hands.
He piloted the Ginn toward the Moebius.
The Moebius maneuvered to evade, then aimed its machine gun at the Ginn and opened fire.
Hawkins piloted the Ginn, dodging the shots.
Seeing this, the pilots of three more Moebius units joined the effort to kill Hawkins.
Hawkins was now in a very bad position!
Without the Heavy Assault Machine Gun as a long-range weapon, he struggled against the Moebius units' ranged attacks.
On top of that, worried about the colony's safety, Hawkins kept glancing over to check on it. His divided attention made his situation even more dangerous.
Bullets from a Moebius struck the Ginn's leg.
One leg exploded, and the Ginn's maneuverability plummeted.
"Looks like I might not make it through today!"
Feeling the Ginn's condition, Hawkins sounded almost like a prophet as he predicted his own fate. His melancholy vanished in an instant. His gaze remained resolute as he fixed his eyes on the enemy ahead.
He piloted the Ginn straight at them!
The Moebius evaded his attack and aimed its machine gun at Hawkins's MS, opening fire.
The other three Moebius units did the same from different directions. Hawkins piloted the Ginn to dodge, but its reduced maneuverability left him helpless against them.
