Gundam: From Piece to Player

Of course, we shouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater. The El Corporation's development of Newtype abilities is unmatched by other forces, and the same goes for the protection and data of Newtype abilities.

In short, compared to the original DJ, the DJ equipped with the second-generation SYKMU system has temporarily made up for the embarrassing situation of the New Federation not being able to buy the best weapons due to foreign purchases. Even the profit-driven AE Corporation seems to have some reservations about arms sales recently, such as the [Z Project] which is currently under development.

However, it seems his companion failed to defeat the opponent.

【Young Miss, do you need any help?】

【roll.】

That's really not cute.

Yazan thought to himself that Miss Harman's temper had grown quite a bit since she entered puberty, and recently he had often seen her making things difficult for a little boy named Judau Yasita.

It seems the fight is quite intense.

Although that enhanced human seemed quite strong, Yazan didn't think she was strong enough to defeat Miss Haman.

Yazan also put away his playful attitude and used his superpowers to locate the enemy.

"Ok?"

In Yazan's perception, the signal strength of the enhanced human was only one-tenth of the normal level. If it weren't for the fact that the faint signal was moving at Mach 10, he really wouldn't have been able to detect it.

"Let me help out too."

Yazan aimed his beam rifle at the bridge of the Alexander-class destroyer... He didn't destroy it because he was thinking about the subsequent captures.

To reiterate, for the New Federation, which has an extremely weak industrial base and can only purchase mobile suits, every piece of equipment is precious, whether for personal use or for collecting technology to replicate.

However, things have taken a turn for the better... Lady Haman, who was Kycilia's maid, suggested that we try our luck at Axis, the former base of the Principality of Zeon.

She still remembered Axis's coordinates.

As it turned out, they actually found Axis, which indeed contained a shipyard, large machinery and equipment. Although the data inside had been deleted, it could still be recovered because the evacuation was rushed.

In the future, the new federation will be able to build the Musai-class ships, and even the Gewabang-class ships, which are based on existing data, can be built.

Besides the battleship, there was also some MS data on board... but it was just data. The valuable equipment used to produce MS had been looted, so the remaining items weren't that valuable.

Just as Yazan was heading to reinforce Hamman, the battle raged on.

The pink Dijon continued its long-range beam engagement with the Gaplan TR-5.

Although Gaplan had a slight advantage, Du also deeply felt the power of the new human pilot opposite him.

Her intuition told her that close combat was definitely not a good choice.

So she maintained a safe distance.

Chapter 259 Mental Wave Attack, Second Brain

Another beam grazed the target. Du gripped the control stick tightly, and Gaplan continued to use even greater thrust to increase the distance between himself and the enemy.

Although he had undergone modification surgery, Du had trained at MS Driving School for a considerable period of time.

The battle could have continued to drag on, and Du was actually confident in his stamina.

But sometimes the battlefield is just unfair. Du's teammates and the mothership are either dead or have lost their fighting power.

Once the enemy forces regroup, the chances of survival for himself and the mothership will further diminish... Surrender would depend on the enemy's morality, and Du didn't think he, as an enhanced human, could have a good ending.

Perhaps... the pilot of the machine that sent her the laser signal praising her might not be so cruel to her... Space Alliance?

Are they humans who chose to evolve on their own?

But now these assumptions are meaningless.

Du gritted her teeth, made a sharp turn with her mecha, and accelerated toward the pink mecha.

She wanted to finish the battle quickly, or at least cripple the guy in front of her.

"It seems that Uncle Yazan's approach has had some positive effects."

Faced with the situation, Harman snorted coldly in the cockpit.

Dijon drew a double-edged beam spear. Because this prototype incorporated many of the Warrior's technical details, similar features could be seen even in melee weapons.

flash.

flash.

block.

The two sides rapidly closed the distance, and Du fired three shells in quick succession. This kind of sudden, aggressive shelling was extremely difficult to avoid.

The final blow to Haman was met head-on with his shield, which then shattered after being struck several times.

The two sides engaged in their first close-quarters combat since the start of the war.

Dije's beam spear, glowing pink, collided with Gaplan's beam saber, which instantly transformed into human form. The result was that Gaplan's beam saber was completely crushed, and one of his propulsion shields was also slashed in half.

My beam saber should have been exerting more force, so why did it break on my side instead?

Du dared not hesitate any longer and transformed back into his mech. At that moment, a beam of light struck Gaplan—Yazan had arrived.

[Enhanced Human, your mothership's bridge has been destroyed. Resistance is pointless now. Leave your machine behind; we can give you a lifeboat.]

A rough male voice echoed in my mind; he seemed to be the wild type.

Did these enemies actually come without destroying the mothership? And they even made me deliberately leave my mech behind.

That's impossible. If he were to hand over the machine, all his efforts over the past few days would have been in vain, and Du would be back in that typical enhanced human situation, perhaps even becoming a waste material.

Furthermore, the ship's maintenance crew will become prisoners... Colonel Basque may be a bastard, but if he dies...

Du thought of many things in an instant, but because of his unusual physical structure, he was able to express his thoughts via laser communication in less than a second.

【reject】

"Then you might as well die here."

Dudegaplan instantly and rapidly transformed, accelerating in the air at top speed, while simultaneously using the shield on its better side to deflect the intercepting fire from the Harman aircraft.

With the Gaplan about to run, both Dijons began to chase after it.

Although they continued to fire at Gaplan's exhaust plume, the two were not in the same power-to-weight ratio at all, causing the distance to increase visibly.

"Haman, I really like that machine. Now we need to escape. Use that move quickly."

“No, that move consumes a lot of energy.” Harman instantly understood Yazan’s intention and expressed his refusal.

"But this machine is very valuable to capture, and so is the pilot. Don't you think the brainwave signals transmitted back are fundamentally different from those of a regular enhanced human?"

"..." Harman said, "After I'm done, you'll be in charge of all the battles that follow."

"Oh, I understand, Miss."

Thinking this, Harman took a breath and simultaneously turned up the amplification of the Psycommu brainwave device on the Dije body to its maximum with his finger.

Harman looked at the escape direction indicated by the crosshair, and focused his mental will, like the Mega Particle Cannon making its final lock and convergence.

The next instant, a massive pink spherical lightning bolt erupted from Harman's body.

The ball lightning, hurled at near-light speed, struck the white Gaplan directly in front of it.

Gaplan appears to be undamaged, however, inside the cockpit.

Du could only hear the sound of his own bloody breathing.

vomit--

Du's vision turned completely red, and in an instant, blood flowed from all seven orifices—his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth—literally, from all seven orifices.

Du was unable to think because the brain, the organ humans use for thinking, had just suffered terrible damage.

The brainwave signal flare emitted by Deeja was "backflowed" into Du's brain through the circuit of Gaplan's Pseudomyx system, immediately causing damage to the brain structure.

This is where the Psycommu type Dijon truly shines.

The inaction of the brain at this moment also made the limbs weak and powerless, and the foot that was originally pressing the accelerator was released. The huge inertia brought about by the deceleration made Du's pain nerves feel the pressure of the traction strap on his body again.

"I don't want to die—"

It's not that Du has some indestructible will or an unkillable protagonist's halo.

At this moment, the second brain added to Du's spinal cord temporarily replaced the function of the main brain... allowing the human machine to resume its operation, even though he was still seriously injured.

Of course, this type of attack was not something the Murasame Research Institute could have encountered. The second brain was originally intended to perform other functions... In this case, the second life was a lucky accident.

However, after slowing down, the white Gaplan accelerated again, allowing Yazan, who thought he could loot the corpse, to see the distance between the two machines widen further.

"What the hell? What kind of walking corpses are these?"

Unconvinced, Yazan continued to pull the trigger of his beam rifle, and the beam struck Gaplan.

However, Du, whose body was severely damaged, was no longer able to make any vigorous evasive maneuvers.

The attack damaged Gaplan's propulsion and cooling system, and to avoid a direct crash, the machine's output was also decreasing.

"Move, TR5, why aren't you moving?"

Du pushed the cockpit control stick hard, but the aircraft did not respond to her.

I've reached my limit after all... Am I going to die?

Not wanting to be captured and subjected to various studies and torture, Du contemplated suicide; the rifle was in a box under the driver's seat.

Is this really how it ends?

Just when she thought everything was about to fall apart...

Du looked at the blue glow of the nuclear thruster peeking out from the linear cockpit...

Enemy or ally?

A long-range beam of light pierced through space, passing before her eyes; its target was not him.

My good luck hasn't run out yet.

A Gaplan painted bright red passed by her, and Du noticed a yellow unicorn on its shield.

"Are you alright, Lieutenant Du?"
