Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 2011 The Fateful Showdown Begins Once Again!

The tens of thousands of Buck bugs were wiped out in an instant, leaving only a small number of survivors who were not covered by the firing axis of the Prism System to drift around the shattered Axis.

As the core target of the Prism system, the Ironclad Kraken Flower Lafrasia, where the Ironclad Face was located, instantly became a pile of sparking, smoke-filled scrap metal, slowly falling onto the wreckage of Axis.

"Success?"

Rebil, Brad, and Basque Om all focused their attention on Lafracia, who seemed to have vanished, kicking up clouds of dust.

The Magellan battleship fleet, combined with the Prism system, launched a devastating attack that swept through the enemy ranks.

The Buckybugs, which had held an absolute advantage, were instantly reduced to ashes, never again able to unleash their terrifying, sky-covering offensive.

Moreover, compared to the destructive power of attacking targets within the atmosphere from a geosynchronous orbit, the prism system now exhibits even more terrifying destructive power in the vacuum, without being reduced by multiple factors such as distance and atmosphere, even comparable to Grips's colony cannon.

"That was a truly remarkable move."

Inside Lafracia, Ironface was not dead; on the contrary, he was in quite good condition.

As an extremely enhanced human, he was even able to move briefly in a vacuum.

This was evident in the original timeline when, during his battle with his daughter Cecily Fiacard (Bella Rona), he jumped out of Lafracia's cockpit, dismantled Vikina Kina's cockpit with his bare hands, and dragged Cecily out of it, clearly demonstrating just how terrifying Ironface's extremely enhanced physical body was.

"Commander-in-Chief, I always admire your strategic vision."

As Ironface slowly straightened up, the system that had crashed due to the bombardment of the Prism System by the Iron Giant Flower Lafrasia restarted.

The sensor fibers that lit up again allowed the will of the Iron Face to once again become the soul of the wrecked steel behemoth, Lafrasia.

"boom!!!"

Countless pieces of armor peeled off from the wreckage of the Steel Giant Flower Lafrasia, revealing its original form—the real Lafrasia.

"The real Lafracia!"

Banshee Gundam raised her hand and fired, two particle beams bursting forth, heading straight for Lafracia, who had shed her layers of disguise and finally revealed her true form.

"Buzz!"

However, just as the two beams of light from the Magnum swept through the void and were about to strike Lafracia, more than ten afterimages suddenly appeared in the void and quickly constructed three layers of light shields in front of Lafracia, protecting her firmly inside.

"boom!!"

The battle between spear and shield is unfolding once again.

The violent explosion instantly engulfed Lafracia, but He Ming did not feel the joy of success. Instead, he turned his gaze to the other side.

A red mobile suit, twice the size of the Sazabi, was seen discarding two makeshift weapon cases attached to its waist, and then firing three shots at the Banshee Gundam.

of course.

The machine's triple volley was no match for the Banshee Gundam's I-field, and it vanished into space in the blink of an eye.

"As expected of a Gundam fully equipped with a psychoframe!! Truly remarkable, Colonel Ming."

As Char's (Neo Zeon) voice slowly drifted over, the explosion that had engulfed Lafracia below gradually dissipated, revealing Lafracia, whose lower body had been destroyed and whose head, resembling a flower petal, remained.

Presumably, those dozen or so afterimages were the floating light shields released by the red mobile suit piloted by Char (Neo Zeon). "MSN-04Ⅱ Nightingale. Char Aznable of Neo Zeon, you've certainly hidden quite a few surprises."

He Ming's gaze sharpened slightly as he noticed that Iron Mask was still alive.

That body, having undergone extreme strengthening, was truly terrifying.

Despite being hit by the aftershocks of two large-scale explosions, he remained lively and energetic.

"Likewise! Colonel Ming, you truly know everything about us. Perhaps you even know Lord Iron Mask's weakness!"

Char (Neo Zeon)'s Nightingale slowly descended, blocking Lafracia's path.

At the same time, Nightingale's large floating cannons also flew out, creating I-fields around Nightingale and Lafracia, thus demonstrating Char's (Neo Zeon) determination to defend Lafracia to the death.

This scene piqued He Ming's interest.

While he used his resources and connections to punish the guilty and bring opportunities for technological innovation to his allies, Char (Neo Zeon) and the Iron Faces also seemed to be exchanging technologies.

Otherwise, no matter how much the Nightingale is regarded as Char Aznable's phantom machine, it would not have the ability to use large funnels to construct an I-field shield.

It's worth noting that only Amuro Ray's RX-93ν Gundam could achieve this function.

"That's a pleasant surprise."

After thinking to himself, He Ming continued to pilot the Banshee Gundam, raising the beam magnum in his hand to lock onto Lafracia without saying another word.

The Nightingale's large floating cannons can withstand one attack, but can they withstand a second, a third?!
"Colonel Ming! I'll take him!!"

Before Heming could pull the trigger, Char's (Neo Zeon) nemesis appeared.

The afterimages, each carrying a wisp of golden light, swept across the void. Amuro's F91 finally arrived, hurtling straight toward Char's (Neo Zeon) Nightingale.

"Good timing! Amuro!!"

Upon seeing this, Char (Neo Zeon) let out a low growl.

"Whether you are the Amuro Ray I remember or not, you are now the Amuro Ray of this world! Come on!! Let's settle this once and for all!"

Char (Neo Zeon) holstered his Nightingale, drew his two beam sabers, and charged forward to engage Amuro's F91 in battle.

In an instant, two machines, one red and one white, vastly different in size but equally agile, unleashed a series of sword flashes, shattering all the floating rubble and the remains of the machine insects.

"Wow!! This behemoth's speed is beyond imagination!! Is it a new type of machine?"

Amuro looked at the red machine, which was twice the size of the Sazabi, with a serious expression and a hint of surprise.

Amuro initially thought it was a Sazabi equipped with a propulsion system, but after engaging in combat, he discovered that the Nightingale's maneuverability exceeded his expectations.

"Haha!! Amuro Ray, are you surprised? This is the machine prepared for a final battle with you!! Nightingale, remember this! This is the machine that will send you to your death!"

"Nonsense! Char!!"
