In the mountains of Lohengrin Base.
The impact of the continuous explosions was impossible to contain, tearing through the entire mountain base. Flames erupted from nearly every opening.
The shockwaves from the explosions spread far and wide, tearing apart the already fierce battlefield.
"Destiny?"
"Noer?"
The Minerva, having just skimmed the ground and taken to the air again, spotted the Destiny Gundam sent flying by the shockwave.
Seeing the Prototype Destiny Gundam losing control slightly, Athrun hurriedly piloted the Savior Gundam to its side to escort it.
A moment later.
Amid the repeated explosions, Noer gradually stabilized his machine and shook his slightly dazed head.
In truth, the Lohengrin battery had fired its Positron Blaster Cannon at the very last moment.
Fortunately, the muzzle had been destroyed. The energy, robbed of its path to discharge, exploded within the mountain. With the mountain base absorbing the impact, the Destiny Gundam escaped disaster.
"Hey, hey, hey, that's it?"
Orga could not help grumbling as he watched fire continuously flare up across the base.
Their mission had been to help Lohengrin Base, yet Lohengrin Base had just vanished like that.
Stella and Sting also piloted their machines over to regroup.
"Tch, what a useless bunch."
Inside the Azure Duel Gundam's cockpit, Mudy spoke with disdain.
She had thought they would get a satisfying fight here, but the base was gone only minutes after they arrived.
"There's no need to put it that way. It seems like we didn't help much either."
Inside the Verdant Buster Gundam, Samus could not help speaking up for the base commanders who had already died.
The crew aboard the Minerva also breathed a sigh of relief.
With Lohengrin Base fallen, the enemy had no need to continue fighting.
They had made it through this hurdle.
