"Damn it, don't underestimate me!"
Seeing that ordinary shots could not stop the short sword's advance, Diego steeled himself and his fingers flew across the control panel.
The Storm Gundam joins its two main weapons together with its hands and fires the anti-armor shotgun at maximum power.
Hundreds of projectiles, carrying devastating kinetic energy, were haphazardly sprayed across the entire airspace in front of the storm, covering an area that was almost impossible to evade using conventional maneuvers.
However, the short sword was no longer there.
The moment Elsa realized that the storm had begun to combine its weapons, the short sword suddenly leaped up from above Geu, and at the same time, Geu, under her control, rapidly swooped down, quickly decreasing its altitude.
The two machines vanished instantly from the storm's firing range, and the hundreds of devastating projectiles from the armored shotgun were all blasted into an empty airspace.
The short sword and Gewu, who had narrowly escaped the attack, instead launched a simultaneous pincer attack on the storm from above and below.
Such an effect cannot be achieved with a simple autonomous combat system alone. Only by simultaneously controlling the short sword and Geu can such a perfect coordinated attack be launched while dodging the storm's attacks.
The short sword above fired its beam rifle continuously at the storm, while below, the Gwu raised its nose and tilted all the ammunition in its missile launcher.
The storm, which already had limited mobility, suddenly became unavoidable.
After barely dodging the beam rifle's fire, the Gewu beneath Storm's feet was hit by a missile from below and exploded into a ball of fire. Without its aerial platform, Storm was pulled towards the sea by gravity.
The pursuit by the short sword was not over. Diego struggled desperately with his mech, but a beam of light pierced through Storm's shoulders and main monitor.
Storm was defeated too quickly. Just as Geu was spinning around and pointing his plane at the short sword, Storm was knocked to the surface of the sea by the short sword's fierce attack.
"Diago!"
Yzak's pupils contracted sharply as he saw his childhood friend lying lifeless under the attack of a short sword, and anger surged within him.
The moment the duel locked onto the short sword, Yzak unleashed all of his duel's firepower at the sword.
The short sword had no choice but to abandon its pursuit of the storm, using its shield to protect its fuselage. The Vulcan cannon on its head fired, intercepting several missiles in flight, but the remaining barrage struck the shield squarely.
The smoke from the explosion obscured the dagger's fuselage, but it was not knocked down. The next moment, the slightly disheveled dagger burst out of the smoke, throwing its tattered shield into the duel.
"Tch, trying to pull such a cheap trick."
Duel held the shield in front of the machine and used the railgun on his shoulder to accurately hit the shield that was thrown at him. However, just after the shield was hit, a cloud of smoke unfolded from it, temporarily engulfing Duel Gundam's field of vision.
"They're using this trick again?"
First, they would block the view, then launch an attack from a blind spot. Yzak knew this was a common tactic used by short swordsmen.
Last time, the short sword attacked him from the direction of the sun.
"According to that guy's habits, he should be on top!"
Seemingly to verify his guess, several beams of light shot down from above, hitting the shield that Duel was protecting in front of him.
Yzak decisively fired his beam rifle and railgun towards the sun, while simultaneously using his shield to protect his machine's torso.
The barrage of bullets dispersed the smoke, but to Ytzhak's surprise, the area was completely empty.
The next moment, a gull billowing black smoke burst out from the front and crashed into Duel's towering trunk, knocking the unprepared Duel off his own gull.
"It's the front!"
As Ytzhak plummeted toward the sea, he saw an Sky King circling overhead, while the short sword landed on his Ghoul. Then, his cockpit went dark in a beam of light.
He knew that the main monitoring device for the duel had been destroyed by his opponent.
-----------------
Meanwhile, Mu, seeing the Archangel launch Geu, realized that Raven was about to get serious.
"I can't lose to him either!"
The thrusters of the empty backpack spewed fire, sending the Strike back into the sky to once again engage Thunder and Dagger in battle.
Although Mu gained some driving experience by training with Raven and Kira during his stay in Orb, the training environment was ultimately not quite the same as real-world driving.
However, through battles with Thunderfury and Aegis, Mu quickly became familiar with the rhythm of combat between mobile suits.
He wasn't a complete novice to begin with. His previous experience piloting MA and fighter jets was being digested at an extremely fast pace, and he was applying it to the current battle, making his Strike's movements in the battle between Thunder and Aegis increasingly fluid.
Mu still aimed at the weaker Thunder, firing his beam rifle in quick succession.
The accuracy of assault shooting is constantly improving, and the timing of the shots is becoming increasingly tricky.
This forced Xunlei to dodge to one side, which was exactly what Mu intended.
Taking advantage of the superior agility of the airborne backpack compared to the Gyu, the Strike completed its turn in mid-air before the Thunder, then sheathed its gun, switched to its sword, and charged straight toward the Thunder Gundam.
However, before Mu drew his beam saber, he secretly grabbed the armor-piercing knife hidden in his waist with his left arm, which was covered by a shield.
Seeing Strike draw his beam saber, Nicol immediately understood Strike's intentions. Watching Strike charge menacingly towards him, Nicol silently calculated the timing. Just as Strike was about to enter melee range, Nicol suddenly activated the beam saber in his shield and swung it forward with a fierce swing.
If Strike doesn't make any further moves, it will undoubtedly be cut in two by Thunder in the next moment.
However, Mu had already planned everything. He suddenly reversed the spray from the posture control nozzle with full force, giving up half a body length and just dodging Swift Thunder's slash. At the same time, he threw the Armor Breaker knife hidden in his left hand, which accurately hit Gewu at Swift Thunder's feet.
"what?"
Mu's move clearly exceeded Nicol's expectations. He didn't expect that the Assault, who had been making frequent mistakes in the battle, would actually catch him off guard.
While the Armor Breaker Knife is ineffective against PS armor, it proves exceptionally sharp against Gru using traditional armor.
The armor-piercing weapon pierced right through the Gewu, and the engine on one side instantly emitted black smoke as it uncontrollably plummeted towards the sea.
Musi had no intention of letting Xunlei off the hook. She first shot Gewu, who was emitting black smoke, and then aimed her crosshairs at Xunlei, who was falling.
The first beam struck the shield that Thunder was protecting its chest, and the next two beams pierced through Thunder's head and right shoulder.
The attack shield on his right arm detached from the Thunder's fuselage. Mu focused his mind; the next shot would hit the Thunder's cockpit, completely destroying the enemy aircraft that had been harassing them since Heliopolis.
However, the Aegis successfully evaded the pursuit of the Sky King II.
"How dare you—!"
Seeing Nicol in danger, Aslan's mind suddenly cleared. Aegis leaped from Ghoul, transforming into MA form in mid-air. Using the propulsion from MA form, he instantly grabbed Strike's back, then quickly switched back to MS form. His light blade lit up, and before Mu could react, he severed Strike's gun-wielding right arm with a single strike.
But Aslan's offensive was not over. The beam blades on the tips of Aegis's feet were also lit up. Just as Strike turned around, a flying kick severed Strike's left leg.
Before the Aegis's fluid and powerful attack, Mu only had time to protect his chest with the shield, blocking the sword aimed directly at the cockpit at the last moment.
However, merely blocking the sword strike from Aegis's right arm was meaningless. Just as Aegis used its right arm to suppress Assault's movement, the beam blade on the toe of its left leg bypassed the shield and stabbed towards Assault's cockpit from below.
"Major!"
Upon witnessing this scene, Maru couldn't help but leap up from the captain's seat, anxiously watching the direction of the attack. Not only her, but everyone on the bridge of the Archangel was watching this scene.
But the attack by the Holy Shield ultimately failed.
The Sky King II roared in and crashed into the Aegis Gundam from the side at full speed, the impact pushing the Aegis away from the Strike Gundam.
"Major Mu, get back to the Archangel immediately. I've taken care of Storm and Duel. You guys evacuate according to plan. We'll handle Aegis!"
A short sword flying at high speed from afar separated the Aegis and the Assault. Covered in cold sweat, Mu did not linger in the fight and decisively heeded Raven's advice, returning to the Archangel.
Aslan saw the short sword responsible for dealing with duels and storms flying towards him and realized something.
"Yzak, Diego?!"
A certain string in Aslan's mind snapped in that instant.
The Holy Shield transformed into a streak of crimson lightning, hurtling towards the short sword without reservation.
"You actually did that?! Only you, only you are unforgivable!"
The shield in its MA form spread out its four mechanical claws, and the Siren Beast Phase Energy Cannon in the center unleashed a tongue of fire. The thick beam sliced through the short sword's body, melting a chunk of the short sword's shoulder armor.
"Aslan has definitely unleashed his full potential. El, can you hold on? The Archangel will be able to leave the combat zone in five minutes."
"No problem."
El replied calmly, while manipulating his short sword and firing a series of beams at the Aegis Gundam with his beam rifle, but Athrun, who was already in a state of readiness, easily dodged them.
With its thrusters at their limit, Aegis transformed back into human form and landed on Gwu. However, its beam rifle never stopped firing, continuously unleashing a barrage of bullets at Dagger. Dagger retaliated, and the airspace between the two machines was almost filled with green beams.
While dodging each other's fire, both sides unleashed their own barrage of fire, their flight paths constantly intersecting as they engaged in a fierce dogfight.
However, this stalemate did not last long. After the Aegis finished cooling its thrusters, it jumped again. Gull unleashed a barrage of projectiles at the short sword, while the Aegis, in its MA form, fired Kraken at the short sword once more.
This kind of simultaneous attack from multiple directions is El's specialty, so he naturally knows how to deal with it.
However, she had run out of ammunition and her equipment was almost completely used up, so she couldn't replicate the tactics she used when she shot down the storm.
But her task now is not to win, but to buy enough time.
The short sword leaped from above the guillotine, using its thrusters to dodge in mid-air, avoiding the Aegis's barrage, while simultaneously piercing the Aegis's guillotine with its beam rifle.
However, El overlooked one thing: the Holy Shield's bombardment was not aimed at the short sword, but at Geu.
The red and white beams of light, after being dodged by the short sword, continued toward the sea and engulfed the Gwu's fuselage.
Both aircraft's flight ramps were destroyed simultaneously, and both mobile suits crashed into the sea.
However, Aegis's MA form has a much better ability to stay airborne than Dagger. Aegis roared in, its four mechanical claws firmly gripping Dagger. Sirenmon began to charge, and the muzzle emitted an increasingly bright and dangerous light.
"El, password 2887, initiate self-destruct program."
Raven made the decisive decision to self-destruct.
"Understand".
The next moment, the short sword's battery overloaded due to the pre-programmed settings, and the rampaging energy triggered a chain reaction, suddenly exploding in the shield's arms, also destroying the charging siren monster in the process.
Although the Aegis's PS armor had not yet deactivated, the impact of the point-blank explosion knocked Aslan unconscious. The out-of-control Aegis plunged into the sea, while Raven, who was circling in the sky, took in the result and piloted the Sky King back towards Orb.
"Shooting down the Allied Forces' 'Skyfire Raven' is a remarkable achievement. When you see me next time, don't forget that it was I who gave you this credit."

Chapter 63 Seed
Several days later, the Archangel's pristine white hull slowly entered the shipyard at the JOSH-A base in Alaska.
Maru finally breathed a long sigh of relief from the captain's seat once the Archangel came to a stop in the shipyard.
After the great battle off the coast of Orb, the Archangel's crew member K recovered. They encountered no enemies along the way and arrived safely at Base JOSH-A. This relieved Mu, who had been worried about whether he could protect the Archangel on his own.
However, Maru knew in her heart that although JOSH-A base was the headquarters of the Allied Forces, it was precisely because of this that the Archangel seemed even more awkward here.
Her mentor, Halbarton, was never a popular figure among the top ranks of the Allied Forces. Recently, he disagreed with headquarters again on which type of mass-produced machine should be equipped.
Although the Archangel is an independent unit in terms of organization, probably no one at headquarters believes that the Archangel is really unrelated to Halbarton.
Why does entering the Alaskan headquarters suddenly feel more dangerous than fighting ZAFT?
The thought of possibly being bullied and persecuted to death in Alaska gave Maru a headache.
Just then, a communication from JOSH-A base came into contact with the bridge of the Archangel, and Colonel Shazaland's face appeared on the screen.
"You must be Lieutenant Commander Lamias, the captain of the Archangel. Just like the rumors say, you're a beautiful captain."
The middle-aged soldier on the screen forced a smile at Maru.
"Uh, you're right."
Maru gave Colonel Sazarland an awkward smile; this was the type of person she was least comfortable dealing with.
"Major Marius Ramias of the Thirteenth Independent Unit, and all officers and men below him, reporting for duty. Our unit has completed its planned voyage today, in accordance with the orders previously issued by headquarters. We departed from the Dawn Desert in North Africa, broke through the ZAFT-occupied areas in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, and finally arrived at Base JOSH-A. The detailed combat report and damage assessment will be submitted after they are completed."
Maru decided to skip the small talk and, like Bakiruru, adopt a businesslike demeanor.
