Gundam: The wind blowing through the universe

"MS troops appear ahead, number 20."

"Jachin Due's defenders? This is a bit difficult to handle."

"Gnaku asked for ejection preparation, is it Gates? And there are two of them!"

"Captain Barudferut, please open the ejection port. That is our guardian angel."

Perhaps due to the butterfly effect caused by Hilde, the Eternity escaped much earlier than before. At this time, the Victoria Spaceport was still in the hands of ZAFT, so the Council had not had time to completely gather the troops on the ground, resulting in the entire Jachin Due The fortress strength is not sufficient, otherwise with the interception lineup of more than 50 aircraft in the original timeline, it would be impossible for just two Gates to rush through.

"Shiho-Hanifs, Gates attacks!"

Following Shiho, Hilde did not even give a regular report, but directly stepped on the tail flame of the MS in front of him and ejected. Two Gates rushed into the enemy group from the Eternal, and the beam rifle fired continuously, each one heavily armed. Ginn turned into an explosion of fire and dissipated in Jachin Due's universe.

Except for the time when she piloted the Gespenst to save Siegfried, this was the first time Hilde piloted a mobile suit in combat independently. As the fire continued to explode around Gates, the fragmented memories in Hilde's mind showed signs of splicing. .

"I seem to be behind someone. I have seen this scene with my own eyes. Who is that figure? She didn't call me Hilde. Who is it?"

"Huh? Is this the level of current ZAFT pilots?"

Shiho next to her was not troubled by her memory, but as the first plane crashed into her account, she couldn't help but sigh in confusion. Judging from her short service experience, this batch of fortress garrison troops was already of good quality. It was comparable to the level of her ungraduated classmates in the military academy.

The main reason for this phenomenon is that ZAFT was too traumatized when it was exposed in Alaska. A large number of experienced veterans were buried on the earth, so that this fortress at the doorstep needed to urgently recruit a group of rookies. Only new recruits can barely form combat effectiveness.

But fortunately, relying on Hilde's extremely average driving skills and Shiho's half-full ACE level, the Eternity was able to break through the siege of the fortress defenders and successfully leave the PLANT mainland. Otherwise, there would be no Freedom Gundam to support them. It is difficult for most people to escape this disaster.

At this time, Lux looked at the stars outside the porthole. She had just lost her father and was tightly wrapped in a sense of helplessness. However, she kept reminding herself that the entire Eternal was watching her every move. No matter how uncomfortable you are, you can't show it in front of everyone.

"Lux, what is our next destination?"

Although he knew that now was not a good time to speak, for a lonely ship like the Eternal, the next goal was the most concerned issue for all crew members, so after weighing it carefully, Tiger still asked Lux.

"In the L4 universe, food and water need to be replenished there, as well as battleship repairs and a mobile suit that carries an important contract."

Just when Tiger was preparing to arrange the next action plan, DaCosta received a communication from Gnaku, and then reported it with an unexpected tone.

"Gnaku Shiho's communication, Hilde was unconscious after returning, Captain?"

At this time, near the earth's orbit, the Kusanagi had just completed the assembly of the remaining parts. Chisaka invited Malu and Mu to come to the bridge to discuss the next course of action.

"Cagalli."

"She is still locked in the room alone. So many things have happened. She must need time to calm down."

After hearing Chisaka's answer, Ma Liu thought for a while and asked the key question. As a woman, she was more sensitive and delicate than a group of men. When she was in Orb, she had already noticed the relationship between the pair. The boys and girls who depended on each other during the days of the Archangel's escape seemed to have something emotionally wrong.

"What about Siegfried?"

"I haven't seen Yanhong Strike since he was given to us. Erica told me that if things continue like this, we simply can't support such a lavish pilot with the equipment we brought out."

Chisaka didn't know whether he deliberately avoided Malu's question, and instead talked about Siegfried's second use of a backpack to block the gun. The IWSP's backpack was already complicated, and it was only possible to rely on the little belongings brought by the Dawn Club to make it more efficient. Throw a backpack once or twice, and Yanhong's attack will end up as a naked attack.

"Colonel, this is not where I am asking. You should understand, right?"

But Malu is obviously not satisfied with this answer. As the person who single-handedly "picked up" Siegfried and Cagalli in Heliopolis, she now has a dual identity of "witness and guardian". Mixed feelings.

"Honestly, I don't know much about what happened between him and Cagalli. Mrs. Uzmi just asked me to follow their own wishes before, and our top priority cannot only be concerned about the relationship between a pair of children. Kusanagi and Archangel are now short of water. Although there is no shortage of some parts for the time being, problems will definitely arise in the long run. After all, we will not be able to receive supplies in the short term, and the battleships themselves also need maintenance work, so now we have found a place to stay. That’s the most urgent thing.”

Being blocked back by Chisaka with this reason, Ma Liu couldn't continue to ask questions. In essence, this was a confrontation between the two sides fighting for "Siegfried's ownership rights." In addition to the standard attack on the Archangel, Apart from that, there are only two MSs, the Beam Saigu and the Thunder Gundam, which have not yet been repaired. The Thunder will go to the Kusanagi to join the team members later. Kira's Freedom Gundam is said to be back soon, but Until now, no one has been seen. Ma Liu instinctively wants to fight for more combat power. In her eyes, Siegfried is obviously one of her own.

From Zisaka's point of view, since Uzmi has asked him not to interfere too much in the princess's emotional issues, he takes it for granted that the matter has been settled. Even if it is not done for the time being, Siegfried's Orb's It was impossible to tear off the label, so he instinctively stopped Ma Liu from inquiring into the details of their relationship.

However, this small push and pull will not affect the cooperative relationship between the two parties. The two warships are now rootless duckweeds. From the senior management to the maintenance team, the future path is still unclear, so after a short discussion, it was unanimously agreed Decided to go to the L4 universe to find abandoned satellites for supplies.

The young man that Malu and Chisaka were fighting over was leaning outside Cagalli's room door. He neither knocked on the door nor left. He just looked up at the ceiling and didn't know what he was thinking. He was beside him. It was Stella who had just woken up from sleep treatment.

"Huh? Siegfried, why don't you go in here?"

The dazed boy followed the voice and saw that it was Kira who came here after explaining the preparations for the Freedom Gundam.

As a result, under Kira's doubtful gaze, Siegfried waved casually and continued to lean back against the door. Stella looked up and saw that it was an acquaintance and continued to immerse herself in the music in her headphones.

"Not going in?" In order to prevent himself from not understanding something, Kira asked again. I wonder if he finally came back to his senses under his reminder. Siegfried turned around and knocked on the door, and then fell into strangeness again. in silence.

Not long after, Cagalli appeared in front of the two of them after the electronic door opened. She must have just finished crying, and her eyes were still a little red and swollen, but there was no sad expression on her face, but her still trembling hands betrayed her heart.

"sorry"

Seeing this scene, the thousands of words in Siegfried's heart could only be turned into a short apology. Although he told himself countless times that he had tried his best and could not do better, Orb and Uzi This is the ending of Mi, he is not the savior, that is enough.

But facing Cagalli in front of her, this girl who once shined like the sun, in the panic after bidding farewell to Hilde for the first time, in the guilt after driving the MS to kill for the first time, she came into contact with this for the first time. In the nostalgia that arose after the real world, these memories were shattered like a mirror, and all the fragments were without exception Cagalli's figure.

Siegfried simply couldn't convince himself with 'I tried my best'. He didn't know how to speak. The words 'It's okay, it will be fine' sounded like a complete lie.

When he was in Orb, he vented his emotions unscrupulously. Rather than being dissatisfied with Orb, it was actually more like a kind of disgust with his own wavering, Uzmi's expectations, the approaching dawn, Aspen The suffix of the Ha family, everything was shattered in front of his promise to Hilde.

Finally, Cagalli threw herself into Siegfried's arms. After being carried back by the familiar momentum for a while, under Stella's puzzled and Kira's natural gazes, Siegfried reached out and pressed her hand. The top of Cagalli's head.

"I'm fine. With you here, everything will be fine, right?"

This was not the first time Siegfried hugged Cagalli. In fact, the first time he encountered reality in this world was when she jumped down from the second floor desperately and hit him, but he had been hit countless times before. He didn't feel Cagalli's trembling despite all the contacts, but at this moment, it was subtle and real, and through his palm, it was transmitted to the depths of his soul.

"Will be fine"

In the end, Siegfried told the comforting lie against his will. At this time, he clearly knew that things were exactly the opposite of his comfort, and everything would not get better. Orb, United, PLANT, everything will develop into a worse situation in two years, and the girl in his arms will also face the experience of the second national collapse, and he

'If. I was stronger. If I had power. If I could stay.'

Stella was listening to the song carefree by the wall. Crouching on the ground, she curiously looked at Siegfried's position, only to find that his left hand that was not raised was clenched into a fist.

For some reason, Stella, who was supposed to slowly return to normal after the sleep treatment, suddenly said, "Don't be sad, Siegfried. Stella will help you kill them all."

He spoke the cruelest words in a childish tone, but just when Kira thought Siegfried would make a sound to stop him, she found that he did not make any sound while holding Cagalli.

I finished writing this chapter at one o'clock in the middle of the night, and my whole body felt bad.

I asked for leave tomorrow. I originally asked for it today, but I thought it would not be good to stop at Orb and self-destruct, so I used a chapter to save the manuscript. There are so many things to do and I can't do anything.
