Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 845 Durandal’s Purpose!
"Long time no see! How are you doing, Aslan?"

After a moment, Aslan finally saw the existence that was so troublesome for Yakin Duwei.

Looking at that familiar smiling face,

Seeing the same behavior as in my memory,

Aslan, like the people around him, was in a daze.

However, he reacted faster than the people around him.

After all, in a sense, he already knew about the existence of the real and fake Lux.

"You're okay. That's great."

As soon as he said this, Aslan suddenly closed his mouth again.

Because his situation is very delicate.

At this critical moment, the real Lacus Clyne returned to PLANT and appeared in front of him again.

However, he married "Lacus Klein" not long ago.

"What the hell is going on? Why are there two Lacus Clynes?"

Just when Aslan felt embarrassed and didn't know what to do, Yitzhak's noisy voice came from not far away.

And because of his questioning, the situation that had made Aslan somewhat overwhelmed was alleviated.

"Isaac, I'm so sorry! Due to some reasons, I almost died in the universe. Fortunately, I was rescued by General He, and I was able to survive until today."

Lacus explained to Yzak calmly.

But Yitzhak could not accept this explanation.

He frowned, looked at Diego, then looked at Nicol who shouldn't be here, and suddenly raised his head to look at the Thunderbolt Gundam standing with the Storm Gundam not far away.

"Huh! Is that so? This is an unexpected change!"

"Yzak! There's a reason for everything. We'll explain the matter about Lux and us later. Now, we have to deal with the matter of Genesis."

Yuri Amalfi, who was standing next to Lacus, spoke up.

"Councilman Amalfi, aren't you supposed to be in April City?"

Just when Yitzhak was about to ask why Yuri Amafi, who was supposed to be in April City, suddenly appeared here, a communications soldier in green clothes trotted up to Yitzhak and whispered to him for a long time. Yitzhak's expression changed drastically.

"okay, I get it."

Then Yitzchak looked around and then at Aslan.

"Everyone, disperse! What's happening here cannot be disclosed to the outside world without ZAFT's permission!"

After giving the order, Isaac gestured towards the passage not far away.

"General He, all the congressmen, and Lux, please follow me! My mother, Congressman Juel wants to see you."

Earlier, when the mutation happened in Genesis, a group of uninvited guests arrived at the command hall of PLANT's final defense line.

"You, you are Gilbert Durandal from the Genetic Research Institute?!"

Aysaliya Juul, a member of the Supreme Council and the mother of Yizhak Juul, looked coldly at Durandal and others who suddenly broke into the command hall with their men.

Isalia Juul was shocked and unexpected by the appearance of Durandal and others.

The command hall, which is the final line of defense with the most stringent defense force, was broken into by a group of people of unknown origin, and they took many congressmen hostage.

Among them, Isalia Juul recognized Yuri Amalfi. "Thank you very much, Senator Juul, for remembering the existence of a nobody like me!"

"You are not an unknown person. Gilbert Durandal, the most talented genetic researcher in the Genetic Research Institute of April City, has never been an unknown person."

After Isalia Juul sneered, she looked at "Yuri Amalfi" who was pointed at by a gun.

"If you want to threaten us by holding the MPs hostage to make us give up resistance, you will never succeed."

Durandal smiled silently and shook his head.

"Senator Juel, there is no need for us to be so tense. I am not here to threaten you or ask you to give up resistance. On the contrary, I am here to fill in the gaps in your defense."

"Filling up the gaps? That sounds nice. Do you have any other ideas than to threaten us to give up resistance by holding so many congressmen hostage here?"

When Azalia Juur raised her hand slightly to signal to the guards around her, Durandal raised his hand first to show that he was harmless.

"Please don't misunderstand me! And don't make the wrong move! Councillor Juel. They are not worth saving with your life."

Durandal spoke the horrible truth with a serious expression.

"As you can see, the 'councilmen' we are holding hostage are not the real people. They are photocopies created using some kind of genetic technology. They are not the real people!"

Athalia Juul was stunned at first, then she sneered.

"I didn't expect that the famous Gilbert Durandal could tell a few bad jokes. Do you think I would believe your nonsense?"

Durandal smiled and pointed to the large screen behind Azalia Juul.

"If my guess is correct, Yakin Duwei should have welcomed a group of distinguished guests by now. How about Councillor Juel asking Yakin Duwei for confirmation before deciding whether I should stay or go?"

As one of the twelve members of the Supreme Council that leads the Adjusters, Isalia Juul believes that she has some knowledge of genetic technology, but she has never heard of any genetic technology that can reproduce a clone that is exactly the same as the original person, with similar memories, speech and behavior.

But Durandal's calm demeanor made Athalia Juul suspicious.

At her suggestion, CIC immediately contacted Yakin Duwei.

As a result, just as Durandal said, Yakin Duwei welcomed a group of distinguished guests.

And among the distinguished guests was Yuri Amalfi.

When he saw his son Yitzhak giving way to the camera and asking Yuri Amalfi in Yakin Duvi to talk to him, "Yuri Amalfi" who was controlled by Durandal's men suddenly struggled.

"He, he is not Yuri Amalfi!! I am Yuri Amalfi!! I am!!!"

Such a change made Isalia Juul frown, but she also began to believe Durandal's words a little more.

There is no other reason.

Yuri Amalfi, who was far away on Yakin Duvi's side, and his son Nigel Amalfi, as well as other parliamentarians who were also held hostage by Durandal but were also far away on Yakin Duvi's side, were proving that everything she saw was true.

"Gilbert Durandal. The situation is urgent. I will listen to your explanation with the other councillors after the battle is over."

"Besides that, thank you very much for your assistance, Gilbert Durandal. The Supreme Council will never forget your contribution."

"Yes! Thank you very much! This is our duty as a citizen of PLANT!"

Durandal gestured to his followers to hand over the "councillors" to Azalia Juor's subordinates, then turned and left.

His purpose has been achieved.

So, Cruze, what is your purpose?
