"It's really you … Kira." Although she had Ito Sei's previous words as a foundation, when she really saw that familiar but obviously changed face again, she still couldn't believe it and said hesitantly.
"Yes." Kira nodded affirmatively.
"Kira ~" After receiving confirmation, Mirialia, who was behind her, immediately ran toward Kira without waiting for her to speak. With Mirialia taking the lead, everyone who was still a little reserved all ran to Kira's side, expressing the joy of reunion and the disbelief of his survival.
After a short but warm reunion, Kira once again walked back to Marjorie, Sei Itō, and Mu. He looked at Marjorie with a gentle expression and asked, "Captain Marjorie, you have a lot to say to me, right?"
"Mhmm." Marjorie responded softly with a smile.
"I also have a lot to say to Captain Marjorie." Kira looked at Marjorie in front of him and said seriously.
"Okay." Marjorie agreed.
"Are you with the Zaft?" Mu on the side interrupted and asked. After all, Kira was now wearing the Red Coat protective suit of the Zaft, and Mu and the others were still in the Earth Army. Even if they were familiar with each other and were friends, there were still some things that needed to be clarified and mentally prepared.
"Yes." Hearing Mu's question, Kira turned to look at him and answered with a serious expression, "But I'm not in the Zaft Army, and I'm no longer in the Earth Army."
Hearing Kira's answer, not only were Marjorie and Mu shocked, but even the other members of the Archangel standing here were also in disbelief.
"I understand." Marjorie lowered her head and sighed. Then she half-turned to look at the Freedom Gundam and said, "That body is … and what should we do?"
"If you're talking about preparing supplies, you don't have to worry for the time being because this body is equipped with a neutron interference mediator," Kira said seriously.
"Are you talking about a neutron interference mediator?" Mu repeated in surprise.
"Then is it powered by a nuclear power source?" Among the crowd, a bridge staff member also said in surprise.
"Where did this thing come from?" Another bridge staff member asked.
"If you want to extract the data, I will refuse and leave this place. I will protect it even if I have to become everyone's enemy," Kira said in a low voice.
"Kira." Maureen looked at Kira in surprise.
"You mean …" Mu also looked at Kira in shock.
"This is my responsibility as the one who accepts this body," Kira said.
"I completely understand. We promise that we won't touch that airframe." She then turned around and shouted to the members of the maintenance team behind her, "Did you all hear that?"
"Yes, sir!" The members of the drill squad answered in unison.
Then, he turned to Sei Itō and stared at him with a serious expression. Seeing this, Sei Itō shrugged nonchalantly and agreed.
"Thank you very much." Kira smiled.
After a short break, everyone returned to the Archangel, ready to discuss the next issue.
"Thank you for saving me, Mr. Sei Itō." On the way back, Kira thanked Sei Itō.
"It's nothing," Sei Itō smiled at Kira, then asked, "Did Lux ask you to tell me anything?"
"No." Kira shook his head.
"That's good." Sei Itō smiled easily.
"Huh?" Kira looked at Sei Itō, who was smiling inexplicably, in confusion.
"It's nothing." Sei Itō patted Kira's shoulder and smiled.
"… Using the Alaska garrison and the Archangel as bait, lure the attacking Zaft army into the center of Alaska, and then remotely activate the Cyclops system to eliminate the garrison and the Zaft army together. This is the battle plan of the Atlantic Federation's upper management, right?" In the bridge, Kira, who had changed back into the Earth military uniform, repeated the Alaska battle plan again.
"Well, yes." Mu confirmed.
"And we didn't receive any notice." Margaret frowned and said in a low voice. She was obviously resentful of the upper management's behavior of being sacrificed without informing them.
"The headquarters should have known that the target of the Zaft army was Alaska a long time ago. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been in a hurry to install the Cyclops system underground." Mu speculated.
"It's the same with the plant." Kira whispered to himself, then looked up at Margaret and asked seriously, "What are your plans next, Archangel and Captain Margaret?"
"I don't know …" Margaret said helplessly, then looked at Mu and Sei Itō and fell silent.
"Because of the neutron jammer and magnetic field, communication is completely impossible in this place," CIC said.
"Then do emergency treatment, and then go to Panama on our own?" The helmsman asked.
"Will they welcome us? We know so many things. "Mu said with a conflicted expression.
"Of course not. Have you heard of anyone who has a good ending after knowing a secret? "Sei Itō on the side said.
"Also, if we leave the battle line without orders, we will also be regarded as deserters." Margaret said in a heavy tone.
"Even if we return to the original team, we will still be subject to a military trial." The helmsman whispered to himself.
"That is to say, there will be a bunch of additional charges." The radar officer also said with a depressed face.
"I don't know why, I don't know what I'm fighting for anymore." Margaret whispered to herself in a somewhat decadent voice.
"To end this situation, what do we have to fight, Captain Margaret? Have you thought about it?" At this time, Kira, who was listening to Margaret and the others discussing the next plan of the Archangel, suddenly said, "We … I think we have to fight that."
"Kira, are you going to be a devil or a hero?" Hearing Kira's words, Sei Itō suddenly said aloud.
"Hmm?" Everyone, including Kira, looked at Sei Itō in confusion.
"End the war with one's own strength, hehe …" Sei Itō sneered and did not continue, but the general idea was pretty much expressed.
Then, everyone ended the discussion in a dull atmosphere, and then left a few bridge personnel on duty and returned to their rooms to rest.
"Actually, there is a place we might be able to go." In the captain's lounge, Mu, who was holding a cup of coffee in his hand, looked at Margaret and Sei Itō and said.
"You mean Aubrey?" Sei Itō said with a cup of water in his hand.
"Yes." Mu confirmed.
"Aubrey?" Margaret repeated in a low voice.
"You definitely don't want to go back to the army at all." Mu looked at Margaret, who was sitting behind the desk with a listless face. "Everyone is the same."
"We will definitely be shot if we go back." Margaret sighed and said the main reason why everyone didn't want to go back. After all, no one wanted to die.
"Kid, you've changed." Hearing Margaret's answer, Mu immediately changed the topic.
"Yes," Ma Liu replied.
"Do we have to fight something?" Mu whispered to himself.
"You guys." Sei Itō looked at the two people who were deep in thought, shook his head helplessly and sighed.
In the end, after much consideration, Margaret agreed to Mu's proposal to go to Aubrey. In this way, after seven days of sailing on the water, the battered Archangel finally entered the Aubrey waters on May 15, and then under the guidance of the plane sent by Aubrey, they once again sailed into the secret port of Anxiety Island.
Shortly after they stopped, the real leader of the Aubrey alliance, Himi-Yura-Ashar, led the head of the Dawn Society, Erica Simmons, as well as several people, including the foreign affairs, the government, and the military personnel, Kisaka, boarded the Archangel and came to the bridge to see Captain Margaret.
"We are very grateful that you can accept our unauthorized request." Margaret, who stood in front of Himi-Yura-Ashar, said in a sincere tone.
"Due to various reasons, the members can't move freely for the time being. I hope everyone can understand." Himi-Yura-Ashar said apologetically, "But you can have a good rest first."
"Thank you very much." Margaret, who was slightly relieved, thanked him.
"Because of the destruction of the Earth Alliance Headquarters, the earth will once again fall into turmoil. After you rest, let's talk about this." Himi-Yura-Ashar looked at everyone and said. But when his eyes fell on Sei Itō, he unconsciously paused. This strange reaction was immediately noticed by Margaret, who had been observing him, and she remembered it in her heart.
"I've heard and seen, and then think about it carefully, including the meaning of the military uniform you are wearing." But after a pause, his eyes fell on Margaret again, and he said solemnly. After that, he led the people behind him out of the bridge and left the Archangel.
"Can we talk? Lieutenant Sei Itō. " Just when Himi-Yura-Ashar and others just walked out of the Archangel, Erica, the person in charge of the Dawn Society behind him, suddenly turned around and said to Sei Itō, who followed Margaret and Mu out to send them off.
Hearing Erica's words, Margaret immediately turned her head to look at Sei Itō beside her, and a flash of concern appeared in her eyes.
"Of course." Sei Itō first turned his head and signaled Margaret to be at ease with his eyes, then said to Erica who was looking at him. Then he followed behind Erica and left the Archangel together. They walked to a place in the port where they could see the Archangel without being disturbed.
"Let's stop here." After stopping, Erica said softly. Then she turned to look at Sei Itō with a half-smile on her face and said, "Lieutenant Sei Itō, I didn't expect you to dare to enter Aube's territory."
"Why not?" Sei Itō asked in surprise.
