Gundam EXARE

Diego and Rey seemed to be communicating but also seemed not to be. Let's put Diego aside for now. Rey, who had previously attacked with two live ammunition weapons, was still the same. Only he himself knew how many of his words were true and how many were false.

The Golden Heretic's shot at the Holy Shield on the other side completely missed. It was impossible to hit the moving Holy Shield with a rifle. The saber in its left hand had already lit up, and the pink trajectory failed to hit the duel that was circumvented.

Duel also drew his saber, swung twice in a row but missed, then collided with the Golden Heretic.

The force fields that restrain beam sabers prevent them from touching each other. Even if the sabers come into contact, they will simply pass through each other, ignoring each other.

So at this time, Duel and Golden Heretic collided with their elbows, interrupting each other's movements before they could draw their swords.

But this also allows the Duel and the Golden Heretic to stop mid-wrestle, making them easier to aim.

The golden heretic, who was trying to keep moving to avoid being hit, actually stopped on his own?

"now it's right!"

Rey pushed the joystick in his left hand with all his strength. The Golden Heretic twisted his waist and kicked the waist of the duelist from the side with his left leg. The burning nozzle proved how hard he had kicked.

The roar of metal colliding echoed in the cockpits of the two men, and the two machines separated in different directions.

"Come on, let's duel! You're not holding a beam nail clipper, are you?"

At this moment, the one being besieged was the Golden Heretic, but Rey's voice did not sound weak, as if he was chasing three people alone.

"Let me kill you with my own hands!"

Rei's fingers pressed back and forth in coordination, and while saying, "I'll kill your golden heretic," he threw the saber in his left hand towards the duel.

What you say and what you do are two completely different things, which is another lie.

But even if it happened suddenly, it didn't matter, Isaac would be able to react, and his duel performance was enough to keep up with him.

"This little trick—"

"I hope the trick works!"

Rei completed his aim, and Yzak didn't hear the warning because it wasn't aimed at him in the first place.

The beam fired from the Golden Heretic's rifle struck the blade of the saber. The particles that made up the beam collapsed and splashed under the saber's force field. A large number of beams radiated in the surroundings, and the dazzling emerald light swallowed up the duel.

"Yitzhak!"

Diego called out the name of his comrade worriedly. Even if they didn't get along with each other normally, they were all friends who grew up together in the military academy.

It was just as Rei said, a child's play.

How powerful is the beam rifle? The Duel Assault Corpse Suit is more than just a pretty sight.

Nothing happened when those thin beams of light hit Duel. They couldn't even produce red spots of high temperature on his armor. The splashing green light was really just beautiful fireworks, a deceptive trick.

"goodbye!"

The triangle that originally trapped the Golden Heretic was torn apart, and the Golden Heretic rushed towards the Archangel at full speed.

It was also at this moment that Rei saw the light of two positron cannons.

The heavy firepower fired from both ends of the Archangel's bow startled the besieging ZAFT MS, and they quickly retreated to avoid damage.

But at this moment, the reconnaissance King at the Archangel's launch port used up all its remaining power, and its handheld heavy particle cannon pierced through a Xigu and two Kings that were afraid of the power of the positron cannon.

Regardless of whether the positron cannon hits the target or not, the huge noise makes people have to be on guard.

Perfect Assault, which had a brief breathing opportunity, approached the Archangel from the side and was about to merge with the Archangel, thus saving a MS.

"Right now, descend to Earth!"

"I won't allow it!"

There were two voices, one in front and one behind. The former was Bakilulu and the latter was Maru.

They both knew what the other was thinking. From Bakilulu's perspective, they had finally managed to carve out a gap. If they didn't retreat now, when would they? This was probably their only chance.

Anyway, landing on Earth means abandoning the Eighth Fleet, so what if we abandon one more Golden Heretic?

This is not the time to talk about emotions. Spending a little longer does not mean saving anyone, and it is more likely that everyone will die together.

But Mari was a little too emotional. Although Rey was not a soldier of the Earth Army, she had long regarded Rey, who fought for the Archangel, as a comrade-in-arms.

Since the earth can be lowered at any time, maybe the situation will be different if we wait ten more seconds.

"Rey, where are you!"

Mu, who was driving the Perfect Strike to contact the Archangel, was looking for the figure of the Golden Heretic.

"Rey, hurry up!"

Mirialia's voice called out from the cockpit of the Golden Heretic, but how fast could Ray go? Would he push the pedals through?

The Golden Heretic rushed forward at full speed. Its spiral maneuver made it difficult to aim at it. If we just wait for it for another ten seconds, we would be able to catch up.

It was at this moment that the side of the Archangel exploded.

I don't know if it was Jinn or Xigu, but the ZAFT army, who would not let the Archangel go, fired at the Archangel. The impact force generated by the hit pushed the Archangel into the gravity.

"!"

Once pulled by the gravity circle, there is no way to escape it, and the Archangel was pulled down by gravity.

"Adjust the ship quickly!"

Bakilulu is right, this is all the Archangel can do now.

Chapter 37 Falling Star

It’s over.

If the Archangel is not there, the Golden Heretic will not be able to land on the earth alone. It has no PS armor and will only turn into a fleeting meteor if it falls.

So as the text says, it's over.

The Golden Heretic only has 21 remaining batteries. What’s the point of still being able to fight?

At most, they would shoot down a few more enemy planes, and then be eliminated by the swarm of enemies.

In the final analysis, Rey is not fighting one against three, he is holding three people back by himself. It can be called one against three if he can shoot down all three.

There is Duel Storm Shield behind and Jin Ensigu in front. Now it’s really all over. Is it going to end like this?

Rei's eyes were still cold, his mind was still focused, and the discouraged thought did not make him give up.

But isn't it appropriate to give up here? You made sure to launch the Archangel and did what you could.

Don’t you always think that you can’t do it anyway?

Since you have already chosen to give up, why bother to continue?

Do you still want to continue living in this inexplicable and difficult-to-change world?

give up.

Rei didn't have a clear answer in his mind, but he had emotions that drove him to act. It was this emotion that made him say he wanted to give up but then insisted, and say he wanted to insist but then escaped.

I can not be reconciled.

I'm not willing to give up completely, so I'll just continue struggling for a while.

"You're done!"

Isaac had his reasons for saying this, and the ZAFT army had also noticed the existence of the Golden Heretic.

With pursuers in front and blockades behind, isn't it the end?

The message coming back from the public channel left Yitzhak baffled:

"Not necessarily."

Rei's voice was calm, neither frantic nor agitated, but then he switched back to an angry tone:

"I will not die alone, I will take your souls with me!"

First, a Jinn was hit in the cockpit by the Jin Heretic's rifle and shook and exploded. Then, another Jinn was cut in half by a knife while trying to create an opportunity to get close to the Jin Heretic.

The Golden Heretic, heading towards the Archangel, held a gun in his right hand and a sword in his left, and as declared, attacked the approaching ZAFT army with the last of his energy.

His speed was slowed down in the battle, and the so-called blockade from front and back was becoming a real situation.

The distance was enough, Duel and Holy Shield were firing continuously at the Golden Heretic, which created another opportunity.

Unlike the five Gs of the alliance, the Golden Heretic must be cautious even when facing live fire.

Rey could no longer attack and could only dodge by using the Vulcan cannon on his head to shoot down the incoming rockets and use his saber to cut off the escaped fish that rushed out of the flames.

Its speed therefore became slower, and the duel involved drawing swords and raising guns.

"I'll shoot you down!"

Isaac's shooting was timed perfectly, and two shots penetrated the golden heretic's left calf and left leg joint.

The golden heretic was hit and its defeat was obvious.

"Today! Right here!"

Yzak roared forward, ready to personally deliver his saber into the Golden Heretic's cockpit, but:

"Yitzhak! Don't go near it!"

A piece of nonsense rang in Isaac's ears, but he was too lazy to even listen. What else could he do when the other party was in such a miserable state?

Duel was already approaching the Golden Heretic. At this moment, Holy Shield, who had caught up from the side in MA form, didn't even have time to take the gun off the mount on his right leg before he hit Duel in the face with the shield in his left hand, stopping Duel with a brutal method.

Before Isaac could get angry, the sight of Holy Shield's left leg being pierced came into his sight.

Jin Heretic's left wrist turned 180 degrees up and down

It held the saber in reverse and pierced its left leg at an oblique angle, of which only the thigh was left. The saber then penetrated the back of the golden heretic's thigh, piercing the holy shield behind it as well.

“Ah—”

Yitzhak was in the front, so he couldn't notice the abnormality of the golden heretic.

Aslan, who was planning to attack, found that the golden heretic was deliberately maintaining a straight line between the three points. It used the duel to block the holy shield. This must be a trap.

But Isaac did not listen to the advice. Fighting with hatred, Isaac had no desire to be calm. He only felt that revenge was about to be taken.

In the end, Aslan could only use the MA state of the Holy Shield to catch up with the duel, and after blocking the duel, he was pierced through.

The next moment, the golden heretic turned around and abandoned his rifle and saber, and locked the arms of the Holy Shield with both hands.

The four beam swords activated by the Holy Shield at the same time were ineffective at this almost close distance, and the two MSs began to rotate along with the thrusters of the Golden Heretic.

Compared to Aslan who responded hastily, there is no doubt that Ray, who had planned it all out, was better.

He said he would struggle a little longer, and that was his intention.

Ray had no intention of shooting down the Duel, as he needed a mobile suit with PS armor, whether it was the Duel or the Aegis.

"Hey! The Holy Shield must still have some power left!"

Athrun didn't understand what Rey meant, and then a sudden impact almost made Athrun vomit in the cockpit.

The Golden Heretic, holding onto the Holy Shield, punched the Holy Shield's cockpit, but the PS armor absorbed most of the force.

What's the situation now?

"Aslan!"

Duel stretched out his hand but was unable to touch the holy shield. It was only then that Isaac's mind became a little clearer.

The entangled Golden Heretic and Holy Shield fell into the gravity circle, and the two machines began to fall from the universe to the earth.

Without waiting for Aslan to recover from the shaking, the Golden Heretic punched the cockpit of the Holy Shield again to prevent it from making any unnecessary movements or doing anything bad.

At this time, the Golden Heretic pressed the Holy Shield under his body, making it a shield that rubbed against the atmosphere.

Aslan felt not only the shaking, but also the high temperature that seemed to be burning his whole body. The holy shield was constantly heating up.

Aslan couldn't make a sound, and even the scenery in front of him kept distorting.

In the eyes of the Holy Shield, the golden heretic's originally ferocious face became funny, and its entire head seemed to be melting.

After all, the Holy Shield is a temporary heat shield that cannot completely block the high temperature caused by friction with the atmosphere.

Rey seemed to hear a click, and two fingers on the Golden Heretic's left hand, which was holding down the holy shield, were broken.

"Don't run out of power."

Rei muttered to himself, staring at the armor of the Holy Shield changing color from the friction.

In a not-too-distant amount of time, the Archangel, the Golden Heretic, and the Holy Shield fell toward the Earth at similar angles and positions.
