Leave or Fall

Brilliant beam particles scattered and vanished in the sunlight.

White and red intertwined, Beam Sabers tearing against beam weapons.

Beneath the dazzling battle lurked lethal danger.

The Freedom Gundam spun and danced, desperately breaking free of the Prototype Destiny Gundam's encirclement amid bursts of beam fire.

Yet the Prototype Destiny Gundam's performance was clearly superior to that of the Freedom Gundam.
