Gundam: From Piece to Player

Amuro pushed the lever hard, trying to cut his opponent in half.

The three are vying with each other—but ultimately it comes down to the difference in the organisms themselves.

Under the terrifying grip of NT1, Amuro's warrior wrist was completely crushed, causing the beam saber to lose its shape. Once Amuro's threat was eliminated...

NT-1 severed the arm of the Kado Warrior with its beam saber on its right arm, and after breaking free of its restraints, kicked Amuro's Warrior away.

After kicking it open,

Using the beam sabers on his arms, he relentlessly stabbed at the cockpit of Kado's warrior. Kado, piloting his armless machine, frantically dodged, but was about to be knocked to the ground, unable to escape the fatal blow.

Amuro's warriors charged forward again, pushing aside the NT-1 who was keen on finishing off enemies.

A voice also came through the channel, "Senior, abandon your machine and escape immediately, your machine is about to explode."

Upon hearing this, Kado opened the Warrior's cockpit and ran out. A few dozen seconds later, thick smoke billowed from the Warrior's body, followed by a series of electrical explosions.

A raging fire broke out.

While barely maintaining his fighting stance, Amuro used refrigerant to spray the ignited area to prevent the nuclear fusion reactor from exploding—not only for Gato's sake, but also because an explosion at this distance could potentially affect him.

For some reason, the NT-1 on the other side paused when it saw this scene, and did not continue its attack like a mad dog.

But this situation didn't last long, and he soon began to regard Amuro as an enemy again.

Amuro could only desperately defend himself, having lost an arm.

"Hello, what are my chances of survival?"

"Master, 13%." Haro, who had just acquired her own body, was also wiping away tears.

"It's not 0% after all."

Amuro wiped the sweat from his brow and gave a wry smile.

I never imagined that I would survive the war, only to die in this ambiguous MS battle after the war.

Will I be able to survive?

Basque, who witnessed this scene through the camera, couldn't help but comment, "That Zeon pilot is quite impressive, probably an ACE. It's a shame that he was able to struggle for so long with a mobile suit like the Warrior. It's a pity to kill him like that."

"Colonel, what do you want?"

"Isn't your research institute lacking high-quality candidates?"

Basque seemed pleased with his idea, and even the equally ruthless Kamra fell silent after seeing it. He nodded, "It's true that finding a suitable prototype is not easy."

Even the Augusta Institute did not dare to conduct enhanced human experiments on active-duty MS pilots or any Federation citizens, because General Tiam did say something similar... which made Lord Jamitov Hyman somewhat wary.

Is there anything that allows us to skirt the rules?

Human experimentation can only be conducted on non-Federal citizens—Zeon prisoners of war, Side 6 residents, and undocumented individuals.

Among them, the Zeon prisoners of war are the most ideal "synthetic materials" for enhancing humans. Transforming them into pure "weapons" to kill Zeon is simply killing two birds with one stone.

"Number 1, break the enemy's MS limbs and then capture it back." Kamra issued the order via radio communication.

There was no response from the other side.

Number 1 was originally a Zeon pilot, but he has completed memory editing and special hints, so he will execute any command given to him.

Of course, there are also insurance options such as implanting something in the brain to prevent loss of control.

While MS was directing the battle, the outer area of ​​the Granada embassy was gradually being taken over by Federation attack teams.

Under NT-1's renewed attack, the other arm of the opposing Warrior was also broken, and it was struggling painfully—the Basques love to watch these kinds of crushing battles.

To fully savor the thrill of crushing the enemy,

Just as he was enjoying himself, an intelligence officer cautiously approached. Upon hearing the officer's intelligence, Basque became even happier—he grinned, revealing his neat teeth.

"Colonel, what happened to make you so happy?"

"The target has taken the bait."

"Has the Zeon army come to reinforce us?" Kamra guessed.

Basque shook his head: "If that's the case, we'll have to retreat. This time, my target has taken the bait."

Watching the Basques continue their riddle-solving, Kamla gave up trying to guess anymore.

Then, countless blue tail flames suddenly appeared in the night sky. The light from the nuclear fusion reactor was not from the Zeon fleet, but from the mobile suit forces dispatched by the Federation's lunar orbital fleet.

Their duty is to suppress any potential rebellion and protect the peace of the lunar city.

At the same time, they boarded ships to search suspicious vessels, investigated traces of space pirates and illegal mercenaries, and maintained the safety of the shipping lanes. After the One Year War, a large number of mobile suits and weapons were scattered among civilians, leading to an increase in the frequency of armed hijacking incidents year by year.

All of the above are patrol missions. Their most important task is to provide early warning to the Zeon forces in Side 3, so as to prevent the Zeon forces from quickly seizing Granada like they did during the One Year War.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the battle had taken place at the Zeon embassy.

The mobile suit pilots of the lunar fleet felt as if their brains were fighting each other.

A group of unidentified armed men are engaged in a firefight with Zeon forces inside the Zeon embassy.

What should we do now? Help the Zeon forces, or stand idly by?

It seems that both options carry potential risks.

Captain South Barninger, the commander of the nearby Federation MS squadron, made no decision.

Instead, he consulted his superiors—choosing to report the situation to his leader, Brigadier General Blake Frat, commander of the Federal Lunar Patrol Fleet.

Chapter 207 The Prey Taking the Bait

After hearing the intelligence, Blakes fell into deep thought.

He walked out of the bridge and called out Captain Hanken, the captain of his ship, the USS Suluga.

“Commander, what’s the point of waiting? No matter what these armed men think, they can only be considered ‘illegal forces.’ We just need to communicate with Commander-in-Chief Xia afterward. This can be considered a security incident that threatens Granada City.”

"Watch your words. It's better to talk about it in private... As a member of the Federation, the current political climate is that Zeon needs to be reclaimed sooner or later."

Hunken shrugged; he was not only uninterested in the grand narrative of reclaiming Side 3, but even found it somewhat repulsive.

Because the lunar patrol fleet is stationed on the moon, either the personnel themselves are lunar people, or their partners are lunar people, or at the very least, they will go to lunar cities for fun.

The lunar city and Zeon have always had deep ties in heavy industry and economy. Even during Gihren Zabi's reign, the relationship with the moon was mainly one of maintenance.

After the One Year War, Zeon restored the Republic, and its relationship with the lunar region became even better... Although the Federation issued a ban, there were countless ways to smuggle goods when faced with real profits.

The bigwigs in the federal government clearly didn't think that way; they wanted the Moon to have a bad relationship with Zeon.

They also used many underhanded methods to achieve this.

Since these methods always require human execution, these orders, when they reach the front lines, only provoke resentment—such as deliberately causing trouble for the Zeon fleet and other "clever tricks."

If a conflict does occur, those on the front lines will have to pay the price.

After all, those on the front lines only needed to fight Zeon to the death, while the bigwigs of the Federation in the rear had many more things to consider.

This led to many members of the lunar fleet, including Blakes, being less compliant when carrying out orders, and even communicating with the Zeon fleet through more covert channels.

This ensures a certain degree of peace and quiet, allowing them to simply collect government salaries for free.

"Hanken, if only things were that simple. What kind of militants would be so audacious as to attack the Zeon embassy? They would be capable of destroying several mobile suits (signals from the wreckage were detected) and gaining the upper hand in the battle."

Hunken shook his head: "It can't be that Commander-in-Chief Char Aznable orchestrated this himself, can it? Are you saying that other agencies under the Federation are impersonating him?"

After careful consideration, Brex decided not to intervene for the time being—choosing "non-interference," simply reporting the situation and sealing off the surrounding area.

Because the current unrest is limited to the embassy, ​​if this unknown force chooses to leave the Zeon embassy, ​​Blax can use the pretext of suspecting them of carrying unregistered heavy weapons such as mobile suits to enter the city and arrest them.

At the same time, laser communication signals were sent to Zeon's lunar fleet, informing them that their Granada embassy had been besieged by unknown forces.

The warrior can only rely on a broken arm to fight the NT-1, and Amuro notices that the enemy mobile suit's behavior is starting to become strange - if the enemy chooses to attack with full force, he would be dead by now.

The opponent's current attack is like a cat playing with a mouse... constantly toying with its prey until it can no longer move before eating it.

To test this point, Amuro made a dangerous move in the ensuing battle.

The Warriors took out their last remaining 360mm recoilless rocket cannon, shouldered it, and launched an assault on the enemy.

Compared to beam rifles and beam sabers that require an energy supply (relying on a fully functional hand energy system), this cannon only requires pulling a trigger. Faced with his attack, the opponent also drew his beam saber and slashed.

As the recoilless rocket cannon fired at close range, NT-1 tilted its head to the side, narrowly dodging the rocket, and swung its beam saber in the fleeting instant.

The front half of the rocket cannon was cut off and it could no longer be used... This completely confirmed Amuro's conjecture.

Since the opponent could dodge the rocket and cut through... why not use the weapon to cut the warrior's torso after dodging, instead of cutting the rocket launcher?

If the other side had chosen to do that, the battle would have been over long ago.

"Hello, I could have survived that attack just now, right?"

"No, Master, you are already dead."

Amro discarded the recoilless rocket cannon and then clenched his fist over the Warrior's only remaining arm... He was now practically fighting bare-handed.

Just then, he saw a Rick Dom emerge from the direction of the hangar, and the giant weapon it was carrying was undoubtedly a beam rocket launcher.

"Lei Jun, I apologize for being late. I just finished taking care of some things. You may leave now; leave the rest to me."

After his mobile suit was destroyed, Senior Anabel abandoned it and escaped, then returned to the battlefield in a new mobile suit for a second battle.

The massive beam of the Ex-T2-2 beam rocket ripped through the night sky of Granada, forcing even the NT-1 to retreat... Amuro retracted his earlier statement; the Dom is also a good mobile suit, it all depends on what weapons it is equipped with.

"I'll help you take him down..."

"Get out of here right now. What can a machine like yours do?"

“The enemy’s MS pilot has been ordered to capture me, but not to harm me… I just conducted an experiment, and if the machine were switched, the effect probably wouldn’t be the same.” Amuro’s tone was very calm. “Please trust my judgment.”

"……it is good."

Amuro's tattered machine served as the vanguard, while Gato's magma provided support for the attack.

And they all used that move simultaneously—the Black Twin Stars' ultimate technique, the "Jet Turbulence" attack.

NT-1 did not shy away from the attack from both sides. It swung its beam saber, dodging the warrior's fist while simultaneously severing the warrior's last arm with a slash.

This was also within Amuro's prediction. In the instant of the severing, he used the AMBAC system's automatic alignment system to deliver a knee strike, hitting NT-1's torso squarely and putting it into a 0.5-second stun state.

Anabelle Cardo, a key player in the One Year War, did not waste this golden opportunity.
