Soon, the two of them fell asleep in this peaceful environment … Until an unknown amount of time later, they were awakened by an urgent electronic beep.
"What's the matter?" Margaret, who was awakened by the beep, let go of Sei Itō, got up from the bed, and walked straight to the communicator.
"Captain, Miss Lacus just called and invited you to discuss the next plan of action," Mirialia said in a crisp voice.
"Got it, I'll be right there." Margaret ended the call and turned to look at Sei Itō, who was getting up from the bed and putting on his shoes.
"Let's go." Sei Itō said after putting on his shoes and getting up from the bed.
Then, the two of them walked out of the captain's lounge and went straight to the bridge. At this time, on the optical screen in the bridge, Lacus on SS Eternity, Kisaka, and Carrie on SS Grass Razor had already appeared on it and were talking to each other.
"Sorry for making you wait." Margaret, who was sitting in the captain's seat, looked up and said to the people on the screen.
"It's okay, we're the ones who disturbed you," Lacus said.
"Look at you guys. What's wrong? Have you thought about what to do next? "Sei Itō, who was standing next to Margaret, said to the three people on the screen.
"I'm more or less sure," Kisaka said.
"We plan to contact my father's old subordinates in PLANT and the people who still support the idea of Representative Himi in Oburne. Then, through them, we can contact more peaceful people to achieve the goal of ending the war," Lacus said on the screen.
"But contacting them will take time. We're in the universe now, and we just lost our base. We can't get any supplies. Do we have the time to contact them?" Sei Itō asked.
"As for supplies, I don't think it'll be a problem." Lacus smiled.
"Oh?" Sei Itō raised his eyebrows and looked at her in surprise.
"Before contacting you, I've already contacted Teacher Malchior and asked him to help us solve the supply problem," Lacus explained.
"With Teacher Malchior's help, supplies won't be a problem." Sei Itō nodded.
"What do you need us to do?" Margaret asked.
"If it's possible, I hope that Captain Lamias can try his best to contact some peacemakers in the Union and get them to work together with us to end this war," Lacus said.
"I feel that instead of having us contact them, you might as well ask Teacher Malchior for help. Even if it's Aubrey's remnants, it's fine. After all, we are only ordinary soldiers," Sei Itō said.
"Peace is not something that can be achieved with the efforts of one or two people. It requires everyone to work together, so everyone's strength is indispensable. Besides, as the victims of the Alaska incident, your appeal might be more effective than Teacher Malchior or Aubrey's remnants, "Lux retorted.
"Okay, I understand." Without waiting for Sei Itō to speak, Ma Liu answered with a serious expression.
"Thank you, Captain Lamias," Lacus thanked him with a smile.
"Well, since Ma Liu agreed, I naturally won't say anything more. But where are we going now? We can't just float in the universe. "Sei Itō shrugged and asked.
"Why not?" Lacus blinked and asked with a cute look.
"Uh, pretend I didn't say anything." Sei Itō shook his head in astonishment and laughed at himself.
After that, the few of them discussed some more details and ended the call.
"By the way, why is supplies not a problem with Teacher Malchior's help?" After the call ended, Ma Liu looked at Sei Itō with a puzzled expression and asked.
"Teacher Malchior is not a simple person." Sei Itō chuckled meaningfully. "As far as I know, he exists in almost all philanthropic industries and important commercial organizations on Earth, and he is very influential. He also secretly funds recycling merchants, mercenaries, and some intelligence organizations. So, don't look at him as an influential borderless religious person on the surface. When it comes to invisible forces on Earth, if he says he is number two, no one would dare to say they are number one, not even [Blue Persian Chrysanthemum]. "
"I didn't expect Teacher Malchior's influence to be so great," Ma Liu said with a surprised expression.
"So, as long as he is willing to help, even if he doesn't show up, just letting the recycling merchants help us transport supplies can solve all our current problems," Sei Itō concluded.
"If that's the case, why doesn't he show up to end the war?" Mirialia, who had been listening to Sei Itō and Ma Liu's conversation, suddenly asked.
"I don't know. Who knows what he is thinking." Sei Itō turned to Mirialia and shrugged.
…
After that day, Archangel, SS Eternity, and SS Kusanagi began to drift aimlessly in space. All of their supplies had to be completed by recycling merchants like Rochul, who had met Sei Itō once before.
After drifting like this for more than two months, a piece of information immediately broke everyone out of their leisurely life and returned to a tense state of combat readiness. Then, Archangel, SS Eternity, and SS Kusanagi started their engines at the same time and sped towards the Plant.
"But, to use nuclear weapons …" Ma Liu said in surprise during the voyage.
"There is nothing to be surprised about. After all, there is Josh-A's precedent." At this time, after two months of recuperation, Mu, who had completely recovered both physically and mentally, said to Ma Liu.
"But that bastard." Then, Mu's expression changed, and he cursed in a low voice. "So that's what he was talking about."
Three days later, on the 26th of September, after three days of non-stop high-speed flight, Archangel, SS Eternity, and SS Kusanagi finally arrived near the Plant. But at this time, the Earth Army had already launched an attack on the Plant.
"Don't let even one of the nuclear bombs hit the Plant." Before they were about to enter the battlefield between PLANT and the Earth's army, Lux's voice sounded from the three battleships at the same time. She said in a sonorous tone, "Stabbing this blade of light into the heads of innocent people will only summon endless tears and hatred."
Then, the Freedom Gundam, the Justice Gundam, the Assault Gundam, the Heretic Gundam, and the Storm Gundam flew out of Archangel and SS Eternity one after another and sped towards the battlefield between the Plant and the Earth Army.
Just as the Earth Army released the unmanned nuclear missile launcher called the Peace Pioneer and fired the nuclear bombs at the Plant, the Freedom and Justice Gundams equipped with the Direct Special Force Enhancement Equipment, Meteor, suddenly broke into the battlefield. They opened all the weapon launchers on the Meteor and the Gundams and fired at the densely packed nuclear bombs flying towards the Plant.
"Boom boom boom boom!" In an instant, a series of explosions erupted in space not far from the Plant, emitting a beautiful pink light that appeared in space and covered the entire area in front of the Plant.
"What a beautiful sight," Sei Itō, who had just arrived at the battlefield, whispered as he looked at the beautiful scene after the nuclear bombs exploded.
"Earth Army, please stop the attack immediately!" At this time, Lux's voice rang out again in the full-wave communication channel. "Do you really know what you're using?"
If talking could stop a war, then there wouldn't be a need for soldiers in this world. So after Lux's shout, the Earth Army simply fired another nuclear bomb at the Plant. The Zaft Army, who was prepared, naturally wouldn't just watch as the nuclear bombs landed on their homes. They all fired with all their might to block the nuclear bombs.
A moment later, the Zaft Army, who had been fighting with the Earth Army all this time, inexplicably retreated, opening up a large space.
"This is, the Genesis is about to be launched." Seeing the Zaft Army's actions, Sei Itō instantly knew why they were doing this. So he controlled the heretic Gundam to immediately stop and turned around to chase after the Zaft Army to the side.
Not long after the Zaft Army retreated, a powerful beam of scarlet energy suddenly shot out from the direction of the Plant's border fortress "Yakin Du-Wei". It traversed the entire battlefield and shot towards the distant depths of space. But in the path of the beam, the Earth Army and warships that were hit by the beam of light immediately exploded violently.
"Boom boom boom boom ~" Countless explosions immediately occurred within the beam of light, and a pink fireball appeared within the beam of light …
The powerful energy beam lasted for more than ten seconds. After the energy beam disappeared, all the Earth Army and warships that were originally in the path of the beam of light disappeared, leaving behind a large stretch of wreckage and trash that stretched for miles in space.
With just this one attack, the Earth Army lost nearly half of their forces, temporarily losing the ability to fight again.
"So this is the Genesis." Sitting in the cockpit of the heretic Gundam, Sei Itō narrowed his eyes at the tragic scene presented on the optical screen and thought to himself.
Similarly, the surviving members of the Earth Army and the Zaft Army, as well as the people on the three ships Archangel, Eternity, and Grass Razor, who witnessed the tragic scene at this time, were all dumbfounded. They stared at the scene on the screen in shock and remained silent for a long time.
But soon, the Zaft Army came back to their senses, organized their troops, and launched an attack on the remaining Earth Army that had lost the will to fight. And Kira, who was also awakened by the attack, immediately drove the Freedom Gundam into the battlefield to stop the Zaft Army from pursuing the Earth Army that had lost the will to fight.
After seeing Kira's behavior, Aslan also struggled internally for a moment. Then, he drove the Justice Gundam into the battlefield to help the Freedom Gundam block the attack of the Zaft Army, allowing the Earth Army to smoothly retreat to the warships.
