Mu's Resolve

In a flash, the two Mobile Suits erupted into their first, most primal and savage head-on clash, as if driven by an irresistible fate!

Their powerful slashes passed each other, yet as though guided by mutual understanding, both were precisely blocked by shields already positioned in anticipation.

The tremendous impact sent both Gundams spinning violently through the air, nearly completing a full three-hundred-and-sixty-degree rotation amid the burst of energy!

Their spin lasted only an instant. Almost the moment they completed their aerial rotation, they adjusted their postures again with speed and agility that nearly defied physical laws!

Their gazes locked precisely in midair. Then, without the slightest pause or buffer, two more violent crashes rang out—BOOM! BOOM!

This was the second exchange, fiercer still, a clash that was nearly a fight to the death!

In such close combat, under such intense opposition, the air between them was utterly distorted by the tremendous energy unleashed as beam weapons and shields collided, trembling with a humming roar!

Thus, upon Orb's war-ravaged soil, amid the cries of countless soldiers and the raging battle, Xia Ya and Athrun Zala engaged in fierce combat.

On Orb's Izanagi Coast, flames devoured the once-pristine beach. Crisscrossing beam weapons tore the sky apart, while the roars of metal and thunder of explosions were more frenzied than ever.

Mu La Flaga piloted the Strike Gundam in a near-desperate struggle against the Calamity Gundam, whose firepower poured forth like the flames of hell.

Every evasion was perilously close, and every counterattack immensely dangerous.

His instincts and extensive combat experience allowed him to hold on in the desperate situation, but the pain in his heart burned like fire and never ceased for a single moment.

"What a disgrace..."

Mu's normally calm, carefree voice now carried an exhaustion and deep self-mockery
