Vol 3 Chapter 2 (2/2)

“The “Garencieres” sent a report to us?”

The elo Sauper asked with a voice that was loud enough to echo throughout the entire bridge Sitting on the Captain’s seat was shi+p Captain Hill, who gives an unhappy look to hiet’s L1 basic target thanks to their report”

“It seems that they’re near the remnants of the colony There aren’t any other enemies around In another three hours, we can capture the enee”

“Just like e expected Those guys are left on their own That’s what happens to those who failed in their own secret mission”

The selo’s lips widened as he put his hand on the back of the Captain’s seat Even though itunruly, Hill had no intent on correcting hie of protecting their forces, the atmosphere was such that they will allow for any forst them, Full Frontal’s own escort squad’s identity was even nored the Vice-commander’s look of frustration as he turned his eyes to the navigation screen

Down the indicated arched trajectory of L1 in a block of shoal space region, the light spot representing the target was blinking The coordinates were <l1+02373e39034n44393> The speed and distance in space could only be indicated in relative terms, but the relative positions between the Earth and the Moon would reravity of Earth and the Moon was used, they could at least mark an absolute value on the coordinate trajectory At their current speed, they will need 3 hours before reaching their target If they accelerate, they would reach the target earlier, but it was no picnic accelerating tootheir own shoal space region maps that were much more detailed than the universal specifications, they could not avoid all the debris, and the shi+p itself was grazing by space dust and rubble of all sizes Angelo felt that shi+p Captain Hill’s judgee with

The bridge of the “Rewloola”, which had entered space for less than 5 years, was still considered a newview and wide space, which Angelo really fancied The unique traits were the ceiling that was ator’s seat cleanly in ht above the Captain The observationthat was designed for one purpose only was put at the front to preserve sight, the 3-dins on the bridge could be used independently in battle It could be said that the “Rewloola” itself was one of the results of the shi+p-building ideas during the Minovsky era that was maximized

The shi+p’s shape itself had quite the characteristics as well The shi+p’s body looked like a triangular block from above, and had many curves all over it to make it look alive The 6 ball shaped booster tanks that were placed on both sides of the hulls look like the eggs of a living thing It was not a far-cry to say that the “Rewloola” inherited the design of the large battleshi+p of the old Republic of Zeon’s army, the Sadalahn-class As for the reason why the shi+p itself was painted scarlet red, that was because the ex-co behind a great influence

The second Neo Zeon as also known as Char’s Counterattack Char Aznarble was the commander of the army at that time—as the son of the deceased Zeon Deikum and also the Zeon army’s Red Comet that terrorized the Federation It was ishi+p he rode on before not to be painted with the color red He was about to send the haement to the Federation to let the world known that the son of Zeon was to end his ti The “Rewloola” had to have the color red on it

After an intense battle, the Neo Zeon army retreated in defeat, and the commander-in-chief Char disappeared as well, but such a closure made it hard to actually decide the winner Londo Bell, which was the frontline of the Federation, took a devastating blow, letting the Neo Zeon fleet After spacing into the Shoal space region, they had an idea of using the re lost their spiritual leader in Char, the Neo Zeon army was basically divided At least half of the survivors scattered, and the fleet that became an empty space stayed in an asteroid full of resources that was basically a wasteland to catch their breaths, waiting for their annihilation—until that ain, proain for the third time

It had been 2 years after that The “Rewloola” regained the life it had back then, and right now, the revived Neo Zeon aratory called “Sleeves” started tothe Captain, most of the st the NCOs Angelo felt there would not be an end to this if he was to pursue this, and he had no intent of doing so as well

These activists included people who once escaped and yet ca back, people of the Deikuainst each other and started fighting over the basic ideologies as well Angelo felt that they were all existences that could not be replaced What the revived Neo Zeon ar blood Only the young ill not dwell in their past defeats and focus all their efforts on revolution could becaanization That man had admitted this as well That man who had the innate nobility and talent to lead us from birth intend to fulfill the ideas of Zeon and the real independence of spacenoids The pain and loneliness of Mankind that’s bestowed to the world was ultiar people could understand As he looks around at the bridge crew that were giving hi down to his forehead and says to shi+p Captain Hill, “We’re getting ready to launch”

“The battle will end in ten minutes We just need to watch the battle here, Captain”

“Sounds really intense Will it really be that easy?”

On hearing Hill’s distressed tone, Angelo stopped his feet that were about to turn

“The Federation had already done this trick of using optical observation on the shoal space region They probably know about where we are While they will noro, this situation now involves that Laplace Box or soht? If it were so secretive that the Manhunters have to bein should be received by the enemy shi+p

“The Federation’s ability to adapt isn’t that good The nuht now, they should be arguing a None of them want to take responsibility for this”

“That’s good if that were the case”

“There’s no sign of reinforceelo showed a formal smile and let his body float towards the door “Besides, if those guys were so efficient, ould be annihilated The human economy isn’t so solid that it can be balanced in complete safety after all”

“An occasional terrorist attack isn’t anything much if we consider the millions of jobless people, is that so?”

“That’s the case That’s why there’s a need to change this rotten society, to allow humanity to live on for another 100 years”

Captain Hill narrowed his eyes slightly as he answered with silence You’re still green, these words were telegraphed to Angelo’s back, and Angelo answered in his heart I’ll ree

Part 5

The rease and the body heat permeated the air inside the enclosed space, and the air that was heated by the electric cables let out such a sne on his uniforh a passage and floated to the large deck

There were 12 e and expansive space, 6 ars were lined up on each side, and one could see the main machines “Geara Zulu” placed them The mobile suit silhouette itself was based on the Zaku-types of the Republic, and the part that was basically the wrist had a sleeve logo drawn on it One could tell its affiliation fron itself, and this was the reason why the Neo Zeon ar aside the blade antenna that indicated the leader’s machine, even the shoulder armor all had flexibility that allowed affiliation or rank to be changed, which allowed the “Geara Zulu” to show the characteristic of not being a mass-produced suit

A would be the escort squad’s elo let his body flot towards the 3 escort squad machines on the deck The machine had sharp armor plates on both shoulders, and the fixed shi+elds were re the silhouette more offensive The back had two thruster tanks and stabilizers, and they were attachine thes The other thruster tank and stabilizer that was not installed was on the back of the butt, poking out like a tail, causing the entire appearance to be more suitably described as a demon, a ferocious demon that protects the Red Comet—

Most notably, Angelo’s squad leaderit stand out fro the preparations for his own ar’s platfor on the spare parts, the other two pilots of the escort squad quickly saluted Angelo

These two people were the tall, lankly blond with good looks, Lieutenant Cuarón and Ensign Sergi with cold green eyes Both of thereen uniforms of the escort squad really suited them These two backup pilots and the other mechanics on this shi+p ere less than 30 years old were all part of Full Frontal’s own personal escort squad However, they were given special privileges in equip Each of them was strictly chosen froelo stepped onto the platfor out in 3 hours Rei stood still “Yes, Lieutenant Angelo” They chanted

“It will be your first battle as part of the escort squad for you today, Ensign Sergi How does the “Geara Zulu” of our escort squad look?”

“Yes! Thedistanced coet used tome for the escort squad”

“Don’t give yourself pressure Meritocracy is Zeon’s tradition Just perform as per usual…besides, there probably won’t be any chance for you to perform this time”

Cuarón gave a elo flicked his own fringe and told Sergi, “The Captain will be sorting out today There’s no work for us”

“…What do you mean by that?”

“You’ll understand once the battle starts”

Angelo inadvertently curled his lips and turned his eyes to thethe over Don’t ever ease up the atmosphere in the mobile suit deck until the end” The mechanic answered, “Yes, I’ll inforelo watched him leave, and in his eyes, he saw a mobile suit that was docked in the deepest part of the deck The crielo stared at the cockpit that was basically the abdoi whispered to him, “So the rumors are really true?”

“Like how the Captain won’t wear a nor out”

The green eyes flickered, and Sergi looked like he wanted to say “It’s like…” Angelo corrected Sergi inside his heart It’s not that it seems, but that it is, “Yeah, there’s no need for that for the Captain”

“That’s because he has the belief that he will definitely return from the battlefield”

Sergi’s boyish face turned slightly red as his eyes were captured by the redproudly, while Angelo turned his eyes onto thefor the master to arrive The MSN-06S “Sinanju” was a crie around of curves as part of Zeon’s flair and had a elegant and streamlined contour That is the only mobile suit that matches that man, the Red Comet ill snatch the Box, which has a secret that can topple the Federation, and liberate the world Angelo was ihts as he smiled away in a fanatical manner

Part 6

A vague voice could be heard as it echoed through the speakers inside the shi+ps As he saw the sergeant beside hiher asked, “Is it over?”

“Yeah You can take it off too” The sergeant answered while he took off the fastener of the nor off a vibe that he trained officer was an NCO as assigned to guard the command post, and it seemed that he was an old-tiuard He was the one who brought Banagher here to evacuate after the siren alert for battle rang They were near the “Unicorn”s ar, and several rows of norher were the only ones around

As the wireless network in the shi+p was activated during battle, they could hear the conversations between the bridge and all the other departher still could not say that he could even vaguely understand the conversations that included lot of technical jargon Even though he could roughly tell that this raid was a bogus judgment, it was still a mystery why the , he could hear es like <backup personnel,=”” swap=”” duties=”” 5=”” n around frantically at the doors They’re working, huh?Banagher thought blankly Even if they’re theunique about the their own duties to let the shi+p move, that’s all—

“That’s why I’ me to…haa? Hoill I know if the squad leader doesn’t?”

The sergeant growled angrily into the roonment of duties caused the crew to be unable to handle the unexpected situation Everyone’s not used to an actual battle, huh? As he thought about that, Banagher was about to keep the normal suit he put on as a familiar color and shape crossed by him

“Haro…?”

Banagher did not think that he reen ball that moved past the door and arrived outside the locker roorowled “That’s rip lift “Oi, wait!” Banagher kicked the floor as he ignored the sergeant who left the phone behind

Banagher thought that he could catch Haro inored his calls as it flapped its ears and nimbly turned around the corner “Oi, you! Hold it!” as he heard the sergeant’s growls behind hirip lifts at a cross junction and rees aside That’s weird There’s no reason for Haro to ignore ave it a verbal command If the memory’s not deliberately deleted later, Haro will treat the owner and anyone it talked to for a long time as a friend If it can follow even a siistered as friends are Takuya, Micott, and as for the rest—

At the second turn of the cross junction, Banagher finally caught up to Haro just before it turned around the corner As he carried it, he felt that it stopped on its own, and said, “This isn’t good You have to be with everyone” Haro’s eyes her was about to return to the locker room when a hand reached out for the coat of the collar

Banagher was pulled froe that was opened He wanted to share it off ireen eyes that shone in the diht, and his heart pounded crazily

“There’s no tiher Listen to me”

Audrey The her as about to call her na quickly, “Oi, brat Answer rowl pass by the door, Banagher nodded at her Audrey released the hand holding Banagher down and led hihts switched off

The light that shone in through the door caused the purple cape that fluttered with the air to appear Why is she here? What happened to Ensign Mihiro and the rest? There were a lot of things Banagher really wanted to ask, but he did not even have the time to ask as Audrey pushed him to the pile of cardboard boxes that was fastened with a belt, and brought her face close to a distance where he could feel her breathing She let out a questioning voice, “Did you really activate the “Unicorn Gundam”?”

“Unicorn…Gundam?”

The terher repeated the term that was that felt like a erous like a parrot ”So that was the naher accepted it in his heart unconditionally “What happened?” Audrey’s anxious voice repeated

“Seemed that way…”

“You say it seems—”

“I don’t really know Everything happened so quickly There wasn’t even a warning or so…”

Banagher diverted his eyes away fro Audrey as his eyes escaped to the shadow foraps between the boxes The bloodied face in his night him to clench his fists

On one hand, Cardeas talked about believing in possibilities and doing what one had to do On the other hand, he could hear Cardeas talk through the wireless network like a war ht as he recalled the words Alberto said “Alright” At this hed She turned away as she made up her mind

“Can you still activate it?”

Audrey’s voice sounded rather sound ”Eh?” Banagher thought as he looked up As he was held down by the intiuess…”

“Then, leave this place with me”

Her calasp He looked around lessly, and then asked, “Here, as in, this shi+p?” as he stared at Audrey as floating 30cm away from him She however did not even nod

“Impossible I can’t do this”

“There’s always a hen you get onto the Gundah The re problem is to shake off the Special Forces”

Audrey said as she diverted her eyes to a corner of the ceiling Banagher realized that there was a surveillance caed looks with her serious expression He eked out a voice, “Audrey…”

“You can still make it back to Industrial 7 now Once you reach there, I’ll deal with the machine You’ll be fine when you say that you were threatened, right?”

“But…”

“That’s a dangerous machine that can’t be handed to anyone We have to destroy it before it docks in the Federation base…”

“Please wait for a while, okay…!”

Banagher was driven by the fear that was about to blow hirabbed Audrey’s shoulders He pulled her body down froht level as him Audrey looked over with an expression that was hard to discern

“I don’t understand what you’re saying What did you say that mobile suit is? Please explain it clearly to me”

“There’s no time now I’ll explain the details to you later First…”

“How can I decide on so on!? Why must you talk to me like this!?”

“Like this…?”

“Like you have to do this, like there’s a need to do that It’s really too sly to try and force someone to accept it in such a way…besides, ain’t I not someone you don’t nee?”

Even though he felt that it was sneaky of hiht of saying ould be convenient to theh those were the words of others, he could only feel empty as he was left in the lurch ”What can I believe nohen sos have to be decided in such a situation now?”

Banagher felt that his sto to heat up as he shut up and turned his back on Audrey He pressed a fist against a cardboard box anddecisions on their own…”

“You too, the people here too, even thatthrough his restrain Realizing this, Banagher closed his eyes and squeezed out his re that he’s my father out of a sudden…”

“Father?”

“Forcing that kind ofit’s the curse of the Vist Fa…I don’t even knohat’s what now!”

Banagher felt that Audrey held her breath “Are you talking, about that Cardeas Vist? Then, you’re the Vist family—”

“I don’t knoas separated fro, and I couldn’t even remember his face He didn’t come over to mother’s funeral, he wouldn’t even meet us, and now out of a sudden…”

The thoughts after that never becaone Fear and anger raged on in his abdomen as if it was a backlash of emotions that was held for several hours After a stunned silence, Audrey her could hear the surprised voice that see fro in the air with nowhere to go

This was an old toy that he continued to ift at the age of 5 The familiar touch entered his clutches safely At that time, the fad for toys ended in less than a year, and it was a long tio since the tiher never let go of Haro when he entered middle school He would try his best to repair it hi at him in an annoyed manner,

“Just give it up already Haro’s already at its lio around with an old toy?”

“It can stillbad about it”

How did the ave that Haro to this son of hers who argued back? No, Banagher had already realized that it was a gift froher already knew about that Even though nobody said it out, both of them viewed that as an unspoken secret and accepted Haro as a fa it around? Is it because it’s the only thing linkingto meet my father before

No—I probably still want to h mother’s words and the immaturity of my sealed memories I let myself believe to make up for the ‘absent’ reality, and there are still a lot of things I should really look forward too Banagher was hoping that he could one day lift his head up high and ave him his minimum level of aspiration and made him not stay inside the slums that were his hometown Perhaps it was this motivation to improve that was effective in a certain way that was able to allow him to endure hisisolated by the world

But in reality—Banagher put down Haro and closed up the seal of his ravity, hit the wall and flicker its eyes, flapping its ears andsome sounds

“…A long tiend”

As Haro her, who htly

“Once the Laplace Box is opened, the Federation government will reach its end”

Banagher was driven by a pulsating feeling and turned behind He saw Audrey rooted over there, a figure in the darkness

“This isn’t so that involves the center of what they call society will naturally reach some people’s ears somewhere One must fear the Vist Foundation They have the Box Those that follow the Foundation will have riches and honors, and those who disobey will have death…”

It felt like a supernatural story Banagher sed his saliva, but Audrey shrugged him aside as she continued to state calmly,

“nobody knoas inside that Box, but they knew it really existed The Laplace Box was a forovernovernment’s eyes The most triule-handedly controls the military needs and public needs, and won’t be pursued even when it was helping Neo Zeon Without the backing of the Vist Foundation, it would be ihts”

Banagher unwittingly used his hand to touch the chest of his jumper The initials and crest of Anahei on his fingers

“Cardeas Vist intended to hand that Box over to the “Sleeves”…Neo Zeon The location was Industrial 7, the colony builder that was under the name of the Vist Foundation However, the Federation arns of the deal and sent this shi+p and the Special Forces over And then…”

That battle happened Banahger sense that his body was about to tumble over as he used his hand to hold onto the pile of cardboard boxes

“I had to prevent the Laplace Box fro handed over to Neo Zeon I don’t know Cardeas Vist’s real intent However, Neo Zeon still can’t use that Box Once that power that can topple the Federation land in their hands, there will undoubtedly be a war that will be like the One Year War, causing devastation on both sides”

Banagher recalled the history shows he once saw on the television, the i on earth It was an idea of ‘throwing a colony down’ that a colony in orbit was slowed down to act as a mass bomb The military country controlled by the Zabi family
