Gundam 00: Rise of China

"Dear viewers, as you can see..."

"The loyal and brave Taliban army has begun to collapse."

The media professionals standing in front of the camera spoke as if they were delivering an obituary, their tone uniformly filled with profound sorrow.

It seemed as if, at any moment, Taliban, which was still a country, was about to perish.

In reality, none of the viewers watching the live broadcast doubted this...

The army of a mighty nation was doomed to be destroyed sooner or later under the attack of Celestial Being's armed Gundam.

Even though many Taliban soldiers are still putting up a fierce fight!

"Enough, that's enough!"

Some emotional viewers were moved to tears in front of their televisions.

Watching those Taliban soldiers charge in vain time and time again, only to be defeated and die, in the footage.

Whether it's the audience or some of the media personnel present.

They genuinely felt that these soldiers had done enough.

With such a significant technological gap in weaponry, if you can't win, no one will blame you!

"How could you just collapse here?"

However, while the audience hoped the remaining Taliban soldiers would save their lives, the Taliban soldiers themselves disregarded their own safety.

Before the battle, Wang Ye went to various bases to give speeches and make promises. The most steadfast soldiers had already made a vow in their hearts at that time.

Subsequently, following Wang Ye's instructions, the president's aide, together with their comrades, placed the most steadfast soldiers in the most dangerous positions.

Thus, in Gundam Exia, after Setsuna swung his sword once again, his sword-wielding hand slowed down.

Through the monitor, he watched the soldiers charging forward, chanting Taliban slogans, and his heart was filled with a thousand wounds.

"It shouldn't be like this."

He muttered to himself, then stopped swinging his sword. Facing the Taliban soldiers who were fighting to protect their country, he began to evade instead of fight back.

Don't be fooled by Setsuna's perpetually cold expression; she looks just as stoic as Tieria.

Even knowing there was something wrong, he still followed his basic moral principles and helped the disguised Piris.

Then you can probably understand the inner struggle you're going through right now.

"That's enough!"

He used to follow instructions, but now he doesn't want to.

In that instant, he punched a training vehicle and sent it flying, then roared at the people around him.

"That's enough!"

The pilot of Celestial Being Gundam spoke in public for the first time, perhaps because no one had guessed that the devilish Gundam pilot was so young.

Or perhaps it was because the demonic Gundam pilots stopped taking the lives of Taliban soldiers.

In short, the sounds of burning and explosions on the battlefield seemed to have faded away, and everyone was stunned and didn't know what to do next.

"I said, that's enough."

Another low growl came from a moment ago. In his eyes, this was not Taliban at all; it was the hell of Kurdistan from his childhood.

After saying that, Setsuna, piloting the Exia Gundam, wanted to leave. He really didn't want to think about the mission anymore.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm not the Messiah."

No one knows the meaning of these words. Setsuna wasn't saying them to anyone else. He was probably saying them to himself when he first saw Gundam as a child.

"Are you ready to abandon the mission?"

Just then, Tieria's cold voice rang out on the internal communication channel.

On his own battlefield, Tieria, who proclaims himself the successor to the will of Aeolia, slaughtered his enemies and has essentially wiped out all his enemies there.

Just as he was about to move to the next attack location, he suddenly discovered that Setsuna, the pilot of Celestial Being Gundam, was preparing to evacuate without completing his mission.

How can this be allowed!

So he immediately started yelling into the communication channel.

"Tieria!"

Setsuna did not respond to Tieria's question, but Lockon from Gundam Virtue answered first.

"This is not something we should be doing!"

Lockon, who hadn't joined Celestial Being for this kind of thing, had been patient for a long time, ever since the start of this mission!

So, what is the difference between what he is doing now and what the illegal armed group that took his family away did?

"I didn't become a Celestial to do this kind of thing!"

Completely ignoring Tieria's livid face, Lockon slammed his fist into the dashboard, his voice louder than Tieria's.

"Veda's instructions are infallible. You don't understand now simply because your perspective prevents you from seeing the grandeur of Project Aeolia!"

You wouldn't believe it until you saw it; it nearly made Tieria so angry she almost twisted her nose.

Good heavens, if it weren't for your sudden intention to disobey orders and self-destruct, I wouldn't have even noticed that you, Lockon, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, were slacking off?

At least the person was still carrying out orders just moments before, and had genuinely attacked the Taliban training facility.

Where is your Lockon?

So, you think it's enough to defeat the enemy and render them incapable of fighting?

Not a single person died on your side of the battlefield!

"Where's Allelujah?"

After using her superior authority to overwhelm Lockon, Tieria immediately began to inspect Alleluia on another battlefield.

Thank goodness.

Tieria's pale face softened slightly. Compared to Lockon, who was slacking off, Tieria nodded and allowed Alleluia to slow down a bit before he self-destructed.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison.

Compared to the other two bastards, Allelujah is somewhat more tolerable.

"Humanity needs the guidance of the Aeolia Project; it is the only way out for this planet's future!"

With a heavy tone, Tieria wanted Setsuna and Lockon to understand the greatness and necessity of the Aeolia Plan.

The sacrifices we make now are for a better future. In the future, everyone will understand what the celestial beings are doing now!

"Oh my god..."

Lockon is the oldest of the four, and he also has the most normal upbringing among them.

Tieria's rhetoric about sacrifice made Lockon so angry that his eyes turned red.

You always act like you're the most amazing person when you mention Yelia, but I, Lockon, can let it go.

But can't you at least act like a human being at a time like this?

Just as Lockon was about to unleash a torrent of abuse on Tieria, he was about to leave, and was determined to go even if Tieria continued spouting nonsense.

A sudden change has occurred!

"Celestial Being's Gundam, I miss you so much!"

High in the sky, a verdant figure pierced the horizon.

Accompanied by two white-painted Thugs, Patri, a mercenary nominally from Moralia, made his appearance piloting the latest AEU mobile suit.

Looking at the Exia Gundam from afar, which had already exhausted a lot of energy from the Taliban army, they finally obtained Colonel Manekin's permission.

Patrick was determined to regain his dignity here, and his own Colonel Manekin had said so.

Thanks to the strategy of that guy named Char, the pilot of this Gundam Exia has lost the will to fight.

This is the perfect opportunity to launch a surprise attack and defeat him!

"Tch, even without resorting to such tricks, I could easily defeat Celestial Being's Gundam with my own strength!"

Remembering Wang Ye's teachings under the alias Char, Patrick, brimming with confidence, has already dreamt of defeating Gundam, reaching the pinnacle of life, and marrying a beautiful and wealthy woman.

"Gundam, here I come!"

Patrick performed a flashy transformation maneuver in mid-air, completely disregarding the coordination between himself and Piris and Anura beside him.

He single-handedly challenged the enemy.
