Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 2014: Char's War!

"Hyakushiki! You actually appeared before me piloting this machine? Char."

Char (Neo Zeon) sneered as soon as he saw the golden mobile suit.

"Judging from your tone, you seem quite familiar with this machine."

Char (Yugu) snorted coldly. With a thought, the iron wings attached to Hyakushiki's back in the form of a backpack suddenly unfolded. After releasing all its feathers, the remaining wing bones quickly turned and moved down, resting on Hyakushiki's shoulders, and fired a shot at Nightingale, who was entangled with the F91 Gundam.

"boom!"

This unexpected attack from Char (Neo Zeon) pierced through Nightingale's light shield, which Nightingale was trying to deploy with three large funnels, and barely grazed Nightingale's thick tail armor, leaving a noticeable scar.

"Is this also a change that Colonel Ming brought about for you, Xia?"

The ability to unleash floating cannons and transform wing bones into shoulder cannons was something Char (Neo Zeon) from the future had never seen or experienced before.

The only explanation is the change brought about by the appearance of He Ming.

"To be distracted in battle is to court death!! Char!"

As the two Chars clashed, Amuro roared and, leaving a trail of afterimages, charged to Nightingale's right side, wielding his sword to stab at Nightingale's torso. However, Nightingale's I-field neutralized the beam of the sword.

Amidst the intertwining of force fields and blades, three large funnels from Nightingale swept past beneath the F91 Gundam, each occupying the best attack positions in three directions, and fired a salvo at the F91 Gundam.

Amuro snorted coldly, and the F91 Gundam easily dodged the salvo by almost sliding backward, while simultaneously firing three shots at Nightingale, completely ignoring the surrounding drones.

"If you can't hit the target, having a large number of them is useless!"

Amuro, having pushed the F91 Gundam to its maximum motion mode, had the confidence to ignore Nightingale's large funnels.

"Tsk! Is this speed really something a Gundam can achieve?"

As the F91 Gundam grew faster and faster, Char (Neo Zeon) was deeply moved.

Since he made a name for himself as the Red Comet, Char Aznable has represented the speed of mobile suits!

But this almost ingrained understanding was shattered at this moment by Amuro, who was piloting the F91 Gundam.

"Well done!! Amuro!!"

"Char!! Where are you looking?"

Just as they were focusing their attention on the F91 Gundam, Hyakushiki came over.

Compared to the F91 Gundam, which either wields a sword or fires a gun, the Hyakushiki's offensive stance is much more ferocious.

With a gun in one hand and a sword in the other, the Hyakushiki Gundam transformed into a golden comet amidst a barrage of fire. It dodged left and right as Nightingale's large funnels pursued it, completely unaffected by them. After several evasions, Hyakushiki's electronic eyes suddenly lit up, and the Hyakushiki funnels that were attacking Nightingale abruptly changed targets, heading straight for the enemy funnels that were blocking Hyakushiki's main body.

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

As several beams of light swept past, both sides' floating cannons sustained damage.

However, this is not the end of the battle between Hyakushiki and Nightingale's floating cannons.

Because, after each side destroyed the other's floating cannons, they arrogantly controlled their remaining floating cannons to crash into the other side.

In the blink of an eye, all of Hyakushiki's floating cannons were destroyed on the spot.

Nightingale's funnels were almost depleted, and the F91 Gundam, seizing the opportunity, wiped them out with precise and rapid fire.

In the blink of an eye, the funnels, which were exclusive weapons of NEWTYPE, were removed from the scene, leaving three mobile suits with only their original bodies remaining to confront each other.

"This is truly unexpected. Char and Amuro have actually joined forces against me!"

Nightingale retreated rapidly, widening the distance between herself and Hyakushiki. The light emanating from her body grew even brighter, and Char (Neo Zeon)'s mental fluctuations surged accordingly. Clearly, the alliance between Char Aznable and Amuro from the UC 0087 era had ignited the fighting spirit of this future Char commander-in-chief.

"Enough with the nonsense, Char!"

Xia (Yugu) roared and attacked again.

However, Nightingale evaded Hyakushiki's pursuit with a lightness of movement that was not in keeping with heavy machine guns.

"Don't be hasty! This is just an appetizer! Char, Amuro. Do you really think that defeating me will stop this world from going to its end?"

Char (Neo Zeon) curled his lips slightly, his tone becoming increasingly sarcastic.

"Do you really believe that following Colonel Ming's guidance will bring salvation to this world?"

"Shut up!! Char of Neo Zeon!"

The F91 Gundam flew over and kicked Nightingale with a whip kick, but Nightingale raised her shield to block it.

"Heh! That's a familiar move. Amuro, I remember when we first met, you were piloting a Gundam and I kicked you away with this move."

Char (Neo Zeon) pushed the control stick with his left hand, and Nightingale used its power to sweep the F91 Gundam away with its shield.

"So what? Do you only know how to sway people's hearts with old stories? Char!"

As the F91 Gundam swayed, it immediately stabilized and resumed high-speed maneuvering.

At the same time, Hyakushiki followed closely, swinging his sword at Nightingale's right shoulder.

Just as she was about to succeed, a pair of hidden secondary arms suddenly popped out from Nightingale's front skirt armor, wielding sword lights to deflect Bai Shi's attack and force him back.

"The Hundred Style is nothing but an old relic! It can't possibly be a match for my Nightingale!! Char, you're too naive!"

Hearing his future self mock him like that, Char (Yuya) snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Although their fates began during the One Year War and took different paths due to the actions of certain factors, their fundamental natures were ultimately similar.

However, the current Char Aznable has Lala Shin as his bottom line, while the Char Aznable from the future can only struggle and writhe in the hardships of the world until today.

of course.

Regardless of their different life experiences, the biggest difference between the two Char Aznables is Lala Shin!

"It seems Lala Shin's warm embrace has made you more composed, Char Aznable."

If one plan fails, another immediately comes up.

In short, Char (Neo Zeon) must never allow his past self to join forces with Amuro.

"Char! Don't listen to this guy's nonsense!!"

Upon hearing this, Amuro immediately understood Char's (Neo Zeon) intention.

However, Hyakushiki did not respond to Amuro's call, but instead became increasingly impatient and fierce.

Instead of dodging Nightingale's shots, Hyakushiki charged at her with even greater boldness, meeting her fire head-on and engaging her in combat.

With both sides possessing I-fields that easily neutralize the threat posed by particle weapons, no weapon can kill an enemy more effectively than fists and feet!

"You think I'll become you without Lala? Char, no!! Casval!!"

"Heh! Isn't that so? I am you, and you are me! Even if Lala Sin survived the One Year War, it cannot erase the sins we committed before and after our time at the Principality of Zeon Military Academy!"

“Kasbal Rem Deikun. Have you forgotten the sins of the past?”
