Simultaneous Time Travel: Gundam? All Teammates are Old Six

The alarm sounded like the shriek of a vulture tearing through the tranquil night sky of Orb, sharp and urgent.

The last trace of laziness on Ling Yu's face was completely dispelled by the piercing buzzing. He threw away the kebab in his hand, his eyes behind his sunglasses as cold as absolute zero in the deep universe.

"Oh shit."

He cursed under his breath, grabbed Kira who was still standing there stunned, and rushed back.

"Not even a peaceful meal is allowed."

When they rushed back to the Dawn Society's underground dock, it was already a scene of pre-battle chaos. Blinding red warning lights spun wildly, ground crew rushed to their posts, and Maru's urgent and clear instructions echoed from the loudspeakers.

"ZAFT's main force has breached the first line of defense! Their targets are our shipyard and the main control center on Kaguya Island!"

"M1 Heretic Forces, launch an attack! Hold the front line firmly in the coastal area!"

"Lieutenant Kira Yamato, Warrant Officer Ling Yu, board immediately! Strike Gundam and 'Phantom', prepare for sortie!"

The war broke out faster and more fiercely than expected.

[Ob Coastal Battlefield]

The sky was shattered into countless burning fragments by beams of light and the trajectories of missiles.

The newly commissioned M1 Astray was as fragile as a paper toy in front of ZAFT's four battle-hardened Gundams. Diak's Blitz Gundam provided precise and deadly artillery support from a distance, while Yzak's Duel Gundam, like a silver-white hound, relentlessly tore at Orb's defenses.

The battle was a one-sided massacre from the very beginning.

"Athrun!"

Kira's roar echoed through the cockpit as the Sword Strike Gundam, like a bolt of lightning, precisely intercepted the Aegis Gundam, which was preparing to launch a surprise attack on the Archangel. The two beam sabers clashed fiercely in mid-air, erupting in blinding sparks of energy.

"Why! Why did you attack Orb! This is a neutral country!" Kira's voice trembled with rage.

"Shut up! You're the ones who brought this war here!" Athrun's eyes were equally bloodshot. "If you hadn't been hiding in Orb, this place wouldn't have become a battlefield!"

The questions between close friends sounded so pale and powerless amidst the deafening explosion.

The balance of power on the battlefield is relentlessly tilting in ZAFT's favor.

Just as Athrun was using the Aegis's transformation advantage to tightly entangle the Strike Gundam, a dark shadow silently appeared behind Kira.

Lightning Gundam, Nicol Amalfi.

He activated the "Mirage" system, and his mobile suit vanished from the radar screen. His goal wasn't to fight, but to create a fatal blow for Captain Athrun.

"Athrun, now's the time!"

The moment Nicol appeared, Aslan understood immediately, and the Shield's limbs clamped down on Assault, revealing a fatal flaw.

Kira's pupils contracted sharply.

He saw it; the jet-black Gundam was resolutely ramming its body into the "anti-ship sword" in his hand.

This is... a suicide attack!

Everything unfolded as if history were playing out in slow motion. Kira's mind went blank; he couldn't retract the giant sword he had already swung, and could only watch helplessly as the tip of the sword pointed at the young pilot's cockpit.

Aslan's desperate cry and Nicol's resolute gaze were frozen in time.

A hair's breadth away.

"Buzz—"

[SR Card: Emma Singh, already activated.]

[Traits: Disciplinary Committee's Iron Fist (Increases micro-management precision by 35% when activated), Maternal Protection (Gains additional mobility bonus against targets identified as 'young people in need of protection').]

"Are you kidding me? You think you can put on that kind of melodramatic youth romance novel act in front of me?"

Ling Yu's lips curled into a crazy grin. Piloting the newly repaired "Ghost" Gene with a makeshift flight backpack, he was like a black cannonball, cutting into the inevitable tragedy with a trajectory invisible to the naked eye.

He didn't choose to take the hit with his shield; that's something only a fool would do.

Zeon's mobile suit struck the Thunder Gundam's waist with pinpoint accuracy, using the thickest armor on its shoulders at an unbelievable angle.

At the same time, he pressed the detonator that had been prepared beforehand.

"boom!"

Not far away, on an abandoned port building, a small explosive device he had planted beforehand detonated. The violent shockwave spread instantly, like an invisible giant hand, slamming it hard against the other side of the Swift Gundam.

The impact force and the shock wave form a perfect mechanical balance.

Like a billiard ball struck with precision, the Swift Gundam tumbled and flew away in a bizarre manner, grazing the deadly blade of the Strike Gundam.

"bass--!"

The massive anti-ship blade left only a scorching mark on the shoulder armor of the Swift Gundam.

"Done."

Ling Yu whistled, then turned on the public channel and roared at the group of completely dumbfounded teenagers, sounding like an "elder."

"I'm the man who could be your mother! If you're a naughty child and don't behave, you'll have to accept the disciplinary committee's iron fist!"

The entire battlefield fell silent for a second.

Kira, Athrun, and Nicol were completely dumbfounded.

Kira remained in a sword-wielding stance, staring blankly at the black Zeon that had suddenly appeared and was uttering strange words.

Aslan's desperate roar got stuck in his throat, turning into unintelligible gasps.

Nicol, who had just escaped death, stared blankly at his intact cockpit, the words "the man who can become your mother" still echoing in his ears. He felt that his worldview and philosophy of life had been shattered by this "corrective iron fist".

ZAFT Remote Command Ship - Bridge

The cold metal data pen was crushed into pieces in Xiao Ran's hand.

On the tactical screen in front of him, the projected reward curve representing "Nigol killed, Athrun enraged, Kira mentally broken" turned into a huge, glaring red number.

[Profit forecast: -120%]

His perfect script, his meticulously calculated, ruthless move to sacrifice a single piece for overall advantage, was once again utterly shattered by that madman in an unreasonable, illogical, and almost performance art-like manner!

"Retrieve the information on the 'Ghost' pilot." His voice was as cold as ice.

A file popped up on the screen.

Name: Ling Yu.

Identity: Student in the Department of Theoretical Physics at Heliopolis Institute of Technology.

"It's him?!"

As Xiao Ran looked at the ID photo on the screen, which bore a slightly cynical smile, the anger in his eyes gradually subsided.

His face now held only a mixture of chilling murderous intent and...

A complex mix of helplessness followed by the disruption of a slightly unsettling gait.

So it was you.

That guy who was marked as [Anomaly-01] by the system from the very beginning.

"Ling-Yu!"

He practically spat out the name through gritted teeth.

Orb Kaguya Island Command Center

As Su Yunxiu watched the "ghost's" miraculous performance on the screen, a knowing smile appeared on her gentle face.

Sure enough, this most unstable piece was the key to breaking the deadlock.

"Pass on my orders," she whispered to the communications officer beside her. "Order all M1 Heretic units to immediately move towards that black machine! Cover our 'friends' at all costs!"

Just as the battlefield fell into an eerie silence due to Ling Yu's intrusion, three ominous streaks of light tore through the clouds and descended from the sky.

Like three meteorites, they landed precisely between the ZAFT and Archangel formations.

The menacing armor, the bizarre design, and the overwhelming, pure desire for destruction and slaughter.

The Earth Alliance's three cutting-edge mobile suits, "Calamity," "Forbidden," and "Plunder," bared their fangs menacingly at a point in time nearly two months ahead of the original timeline.

Inside the cockpit, Olga Sabnak looked at the chaotic battlefield and let out a maniacal laugh, her voice echoing across the public channel.

"Hey! Is there a party here? How can you not invite us?"

The entire battlefield instantly transformed from a two-way battle into a four-way battle royale involving the Archangel, ZA-FT's Sara team, the three Allied Strongmen, and Ling Yu, the lone wolf!
