Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 1997 The Right to Know the Future!
The Neo Zeon fleet's voluntary retreat did not mean that Axis's fall could be stopped on the spot.

As Char (Neo Zeon) said, he wanted a duel, a duel with Amuro Ray of this era.

This is also Char Aznable's only obsession in UC 0093.

Now, this obsession, along with Char Aznable's trans-temporal act, has landed on Amuro Ray in this era.

"Buzz!"

The moment the Neo Zeon fleet retreated, the energy field that had previously blocked Jamitov's colony cannons re-emerged, enveloping Axis.

"What a self-righteous bastard!"

Amuro angrily threw his helmet aside as he stepped out of the cockpit.

"Amuro, Char of Neo Zeon, his only obsession is probably to fight Amuro Ray."

He Ming reached out and retrieved the helmet that had flown to the side and was spinning wildly in the microgravity environment. After placing it aside, he spoke.

"Why? I don't understand. Why is Char Aznable from the future so determined to fight Amuro Ray?"

Amuro frowned, completely baffled.

This is not difficult to understand.

In this era where Lara Singh has survived the One Year War and lived with Char (The Valley) for several years, no one can understand why Char (Neo Zeon) from the future is so determined to fight Amuro Ray to the death.

"Because, during the One Year War that Char Aznable experienced, Amuro Ray killed Lara Singh."

Hassawi, who walked in from outside, hesitated for a moment before finally revealing the reason.

"Killed Lala? How could that be?"

Amuro paused for a moment, then instinctively retorted.

Although that extraordinary encounter during the One Year War still left a mark on Amuro Ray's heart, Amuro is no longer obsessed with Lara Singh.

"I don't know the details. I just heard it from other people."

Hasavi shook his head and turned his gaze to He Ming.

He Ming nodded slightly, indicating that there was no need to hide anything.

"After the One Year War, Char Aznable left the Earth Sphere along with the withdrawal of Axis. He did not return to the Earth Sphere until the eve of the war between the Titans and the Abyss, and joined the Abyss as Kovatro Bajina, becoming a mainstay of its fighting force."

"In subsequent events, Brigadier General Blake Vladimir, the de facto leader of the Valley, was assassinated by the Titans. On his deathbed, he appointed Kovatro Bagina, also known as Char Aznabul, as the new leader of the Valley to continue leading the Valley in its resistance against the Titans' tyranny."

"and many more!"

As Hathaway briefly recounted the life trajectory of Char Aznabul, who came from the future, Amuro suddenly raised his hand to interrupt Hathaway.

"Maffy, how do you know so much? Could it be...?"

Amro frowned, looked at He Ming, and then at Hasavi.

"Could you also be the 'conflict factor' that Char Aznable spoke of?"

"No. Hathaway is not a source of conflict; he is simply Hathaway Noah, who returned to this era from UC105, the son of Brad Noah from the future."

It was Brad Noah who answered Amuro's question.

"Brad. You? Mafty?"

Amro paused for a moment, staring wide-eyed as he looked back and forth between Brad and Hathaway as they entered the room, before letting out a long sigh.

“From the very beginning, I felt that Mafuti looked a lot like you. No wonder. If Mafuti, no, Hathaway, is from a more distant future, then he would naturally know about the life experiences of that Char Aznabul.” At this point, Amuro paused, his expression shifting several times, seemingly hesitant.

"Want to know how that war ended, Amuro?"

He Ming immediately guessed Amuro's thoughts.

Moreover, after learning Hathaway's true identity, no one can resist the intense curiosity about the future.

Especially the desire to know what they will look like in the future.

"Colonel Ming, I don't think this is a good choice."

Brad clearly already knew the fate of Amuro Ray in that timeline, but he still felt it wasn't a good time.

"It doesn't matter. This timeline is completely different from the one of Char Aznable. Knowing the outcome of that timeline will only lead the people here to make more correct and more resolute choices."

Upon hearing this, Brad seemed somewhat disagreeing with He Ming's answer, but he ultimately chose to remain silent.

Ultimately, in this chaotic space-time where people and things from the future constantly arrive, information from the future doesn't seem to be something that needs to be kept particularly secret for these federal officers standing on the front lines.

of course.

This is from the perspective of the person involved.

However, in other units besides those subject to punishment, confidentiality regulations still need to be followed.

“It’s alright. I can hold on. Speak up! Ma, no, Hassawi.”

Amro acknowledged Brad's concerns, but his desire for the future outweighed those concerns.

Hasavi glanced at his father, then at He Ming.

"Speak out! This timeline will not repeat itself."

When the figure of the armored mask appeared on the screen, Char (Neo Zeon) raised his glass in a gesture of respect.

"Thank you very much, Lord Iron Mask."

During the recent battle, Ironface had inquired with the Neo Zeon fleet about whether they needed reinforcements from the Death Vanguard fleet, but Nanai declined all such inquiries.

Nanai knew that at this time, Char (Neo Zeon) would not allow anyone to interfere in his battle with Amuro.

"No! It is my honor to witness the reunion of the Crimson Comet and the White Demon atop Axis! Commander-in-Chief Char."

The respectful voice from the armored mask made Char (Neo Zeon) chuckle self-deprecatingly.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Lord Iron Mask. That was merely my own selfish wish. I hope it didn't affect your plans."

"No! This will not be an obstacle for us. On the contrary, witnessing the reunion and duel of the two heroes who have been celebrated by the world since the One Year War will inspire the morale of all the warriors of the Death Vanguard. We are eager to completely crush the Earth Federation Forces in the upcoming decisive battle and achieve the great feat of recreating the world!"

"Hehe! Yes, I will."

Char (Neo Zeon) smiled and raised his glass again in greeting.

"Cheers to opening up a new world!"

"Cheers to an ideal world!"
