Legend of Infinite Mecha

It's fourteen o'clock standard time.

A navy blue appeared on the ice field at twilight.

At this time, the sun will not show its face in Antarctica. Although it will take some time for the real winter to arrive, the original harsh environment will not change.

Instead of the taxiing runway where the transport plane landed, the ice sheets around Parkley's base were leveled.

Now, there are two mobile suits facing each other.

It's Torukis and Heavy Armed Gundam.

A dry continental wind with no moisture blew between the two.

In the next moment, no one sent a signal, and the two stationary machines began to move at the same time.

Torukis put the huge Dover gun on his shoulders, and the heavily armed Gundam raised the multi-barreled cannon on his left wrist. The attacks of the two were launched almost at the same time, but Heavy Armed Gundam escaped a step earlier, and Torukis' beam only melted the ice on the ground.

The high heat aroused huge vapors.

The heavily armed Gundam hides in this white mist.

Losing the target, Juggs's gaze turned to the radar.

"There is no response from the radar?" Jigusi muttered, switching the detector to the thermal sensing mode.

Because there will be no metal reaction. It is difficult to capture with radar.

——However, the body emits heat.

There was a reaction in the vapor.

The moment Jigusi stepped on the pedal and changed direction, a cannonball shot out of the white screen.

Reflectively pull the handle down with the right hand. Let the thruster jet. Jigusi, who fled to the sky, fired the Dover cannon continuously in the direction of the heat source.

The heavily armed Gundam, which slid away from the water vapor, began to destroy all the surrounding glaciers with multi-barreled machine guns.

"Want to use ice dust to block the heat source reaction..."

The red light spot in the monitor rapidly faded.

Ignoring this at all, I kept sending bullets to the target.

You can see the orange shoulders of Heavy Armed Gundam from the ice dust!

"Are there!"

Just when the aim was corrected, a small missile came over. Creating the ice dust in the sky, and then deliberately letting Ji Gusi see himself, was a strategy used to prevent the other party from discovering his true purpose.

After shooting down the missile that came straight towards him with a beam cannon, another induced missile approached behind him.

After Jacques pulled down the throttle handle to throw off the missile, he confronted Heavy Gundam again.

"It's just that the fighting of this level can't kill each other." Jigusi smiled boldly on his face as if enjoying the battle.

On the other side, Shiro started to throb in his left wrist. While manipulating the joystick, he muttered to himself: "The reaction is faster than in the last battle. It seems that the performance of that MS can already be used."

As the attacks with missiles were completely ineffective, Shiro understood that the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable for him.

At this moment, Torukis quickly approached--

Shiro immediately responded with a machine gun on his chest.

Torakis, who flashed through the line of fire, used the Dover cannon to aim the heavily armed Gundam.

While Hiro moved quickly, he used the Gatling cannon on his left wrist to make a containment attack.

But the gunfire stopped after only a few shots.

"Have you run out of bullets..."

Seeing the display of the number of residual bombs on the surveillance screen, Shiro couldn't help cursing, and glanced over the switch next to the throttle handle.

"Press this button when you run out of bullets."

Before the war, Troy told him this, maybe after he went to rest, he adjusted something.

Pressing the switch, there was a slight impact with a "card" sound, and the left wrist was loosened from the elbow joint and slipped to the ground. Normally, only the multi-barrel cannon should be unlocked. Feeling surprised, he checked his left wrist again, but his eyes widened at what he saw.

The beam saber is installed in the elbow joint. This is the equipment that the Heavy Armed Gundam didn't have before—probably it was disassembled from the Wing Gundam.

"Trova is also very considerate of me."

Hero used his right wrist to pull out the beam saber and set it up against Torukis.

The brilliance of the light beam emerged in the faintly lit sky.

"The final climax still has to be this way!"

Jigusi dropped Torukis' Dover Cannon and drew the beam sword from the shield on his left shoulder.

"Has it been two hours since the beginning of the battle..."

Noin watched the fighting situation from the tower that replaced the base control center.

At this distance, you want to confirm the detailed battle situation with the naked eye, but it won't actually be very effective. The water vapor produced by the melting of the ice by the light beam makes the previously unsatisfactory line of sight worse.

"In terms of a meaningless duel, it's really long." Troy was also murmured as he watched the battle.

"Pointless? You say it is pointless?" Noin turned to Troy with an angry expression.

"Isn't it? Although I don't know the details of the process very well, the people at this base are being pursued by OZ... What's the point of fighting people with the same enemies in this remote place? There is no manipulator. Avoidable fate? It's too boring..."

Calmly analyzing the situation, Troy's words are completely correct.

Troy's unique calm tone also sealed Norie's counter-argument.

After a moment of silence, Noin, who was speechless, racked his brains to find out what he wanted to express: "Perhaps as you said... But until recently, it was still a life and death rivalry, if you say it is not fate. This is weird--this is a battle that makes people feel that the battle is meaningless..."

"Are you looking for your lost self again in the era? The fate of soldiers is... you need to have opponents!"

"No! Soldiers can be reborn if they can find something worth protecting with their lives. For this reason. Sometimes it will take more time." Noin wanted to deny and couldn't help but increase his tone.

Jigusi is now lost. The self in OZ has lost the meaning of existence, and he has not been able to find the way to go next and the things to guard.

Jigusi also knew what the answer was. It's like to admit this in your own heart, you have to break free from this battle whether it is meaningless or not-in order to distinguish the victory or defeat in your own heart.

"We have also lost the ability to protect the colony. However, it is true that we cannot waste time in such a place. The situation is getting worse and worse. In order to end this as soon as possible and prevent interveners from appearing, I have to wait."

"Are you referring to the investigation team..."

After nodding, I remembered that Trovar’s mobile suit was currently being used by Shiro. Noin hurriedly turned his head: "Trova! How are you going to fight!"

"Please settle the relationship with Shiro." After answering this calmly, Troy walked out of the room.

At this time, Lilena's private jet was flying over the Antarctic, using the same route as Noin used to travel to Parkley's base.

"Pagan. Hasn't it arrived yet?" Lirina asked Pagan who was sitting on the control seat from the cabin into the cockpit. Although he pretended not to care at all, his anxiety and restlessness had already been revealed in his behavior.

"You should be able to see the base in about eight minutes."

When Pagan, who was holding the joystick, answered like this, a rapidly approaching object appeared on the radar.

"Miss Lilena!"

Pagan raised his tone nervously, and at the same time a communication came in: "Notice the civil aircraft! This is the combat airspace! Change the course immediately!"

Three fighter jets approached Lirina's private plane in an encircling formation.

"Pagan, hurry up! Can't stop!"

"However, these may be the reconnaissance planes of the investigative team following Jagus. I don't know what they will do!"

"I won't chase to Parkley's base! Hurry up!"

Hearing Lirina's strong tone, Pagan tilted the joystick forward, the body tilted and gradually lowered its height.

Fighters also continued to follow them.

"I want to attack!"

Pagan sensed the fighter's intentions and raised his voice--

At this time, the leading fighter suddenly exploded. Immediately after that, the second and third planes were also swallowed by the flash, and flew into the air.

"what is it then?"

Lilena was on the white ground floating in the dim light. Seeing the MS that she had seen in San Gabriel Academy, she immediately yelled to the radio: "Hero!"

However, the answer is a voice that has never been heard. A calm and low voice asked Lilena: "Is it a civilian? He is still fighting ahead. Although I don't know who you are, what do you want to do?"

Just like as evidence for deciding whether to crash based on their responses, the burst rifle was aimed at the plane.

Lilena didn't look scared, and replied: "To stop his fight with Juggs. This fight is meaningless!"

MS put down the Dover cannon and waved the gun to his back: "Understood, it's better to be faster. The investigation team seems to be moving faster."

"Got it." Lirina cut off the communication. His eyes turned to Pagan.

"I see, Your Royal Highness Lilena, it may be a bit wobbly, please forgive me." Pagan pushed the joystick forward in one breath, turning the plane's nose down.

The two mobile suits attacked each other with their own beam swords, and fought fiercely in the dim light.

When the water vapor released by the melting of ice enters the force field of charged particles formed by the beam saber, it will brighten the originally invisible force field. In addition to its original color, the light beam emits a light cyan fantasy-like brilliance.

However, fighting cannot be an illusion.

The metal roared, and the frozen ground was shaken by the shock.

The extremely cold atmosphere is full of a strange smell after the air is ionized, and the smell generated by the volatilization of the oil floats on the wind.

After the fierce impact of the huge wrist rumbling and metallic smell, it separated quickly.

Dodge the beam sword that was swung down with a buzzing sound. Quickly step into the opponent's feet to attack.

The battle between the two when the weapons were used up was converted to a close battle using the beam saber.

The movement of the left wrist was very late.

Shiro felt that Torukis' movements were a bit stiff.

"Are you deliberately leaving shortcomings? A guy who overconsiders in too many places!" Shiro muttered to herself while looking at Torukis on the surveillance screen with an unhappy expression.

However, Shiro is also unable to use the left bowl.

Here is where the elbow starts. In addition, Shiro's left wrist couldn't stand the prolonged overuse. Finally, he couldn't move as if he was paralyzed.

Even if it is an unusable wrist, it must be moved in order to maintain the balance of the body. And the mode switching buttons for the main camera lens and radar are on the left joystick.

"hateful……"

Cursing his left finger, who could not move as he pleased, Shiro pressed **** the pedal that switched to automatic repetition, so that the actions of Heavy Armed Gundam could catch up.

On the other hand, Juggs saw the action of heavily armed Gundam. Realize that the opponent already knows the insufficiency of his left wrist.

"I know, I must think I'm too naive, right..." Jigusi muttered to himself with a bitter expression.

In OZ and Telles, I have been together for a long time, adding a self-righteous sense of beauty to the war.

This is the only spirit that can identify with each other even if they are divided into enemy and enemy. However, the attitude of the Gundam manipulators towards death is almost crazy rationally!

The feeling of fighting even if you have to give up your life-the way you live is the true role model for the soldiers, I'm too naive!

Jigusi's inner impatience turned into a roar: "I just want to vent in this battle in this way!"

Simultaneously depress the pedals and pull back the joystick. Torakis strode towards the Gundam Heavy, trying to swing down the beam sword——

The heavily armed Gundam, who raised his right wrist to defend against an attack, was overwhelmed due to his unfavorable posture.

"The last blow!" The beam sword that Torukis raised up was about to wave down at the head of the heavy armed Gundam——

At this moment, the telecommunications machines of Jigusi and Shiro intervened with calls——

"Hero!"

The small jet that moved from the left surveillance screen to the center surveillance screen of Juggs flew over. Recognizing that the jet machine reflected in the surveillance screen had the coat of arms of the Shank Kingdom sideways, Jigusi exclaimed, "Lina...?"

Pulling back the joystick, he forcibly retracted the beam sword that was about to be swung down.

The space vacated between Torukis and Heavy Gundam, who was temporarily confronting each other, was intervened by Lirina's jet.

"Here's a letter for you!" Lilena's cry sounded from the cockpit of Xiluo.

"It's getting in the way! Get out of the way!" Shiro waved a beam sword with a heavy arm up as if trying to drive her away.

"No, I won't let it go! This letter clearly tells you the lifestyle you should have in the future. If you really want to redeem your sins, you have the obligation to read this letter!"

"what did you say!"

"It's a letter from Madame Nobenta to you!"

Hearing Lirina's words, Xiluo let go of her hand holding the joystick.

"Madam said I forgive you. Then, I said that I want you to create the future. You have the obligation to live! You have the responsibility to live and lead the world to peace! It is absolutely forbidden to say death easily! Not to mention, it is boring like this duel!"

Lirina's jet activated the thruster for vertical take-off and landing, and wanted to land between the two mobile suits.

Why do you want to appear at this time? The winner will be determined soon!

Jigusi gritted his teeth in the cockpit of Torukis, shouting as smoothly as possible: "Princess!"

"Is it Jagus Magis?" Lirina asked in a majestic voice.

"Princess, please leave immediately. I must avenge my men!"

"Then I will give you an order in the name of Pesker Torford! Stop this battle now!"

Lilena's voice is full of strong majesty. Hearing this tone, Jigusi's mouth had a gentle smile.

Becoming stronger... Lirina... This is the daughter of the Pisclav family.

However, Jigusi cut off the communication machine as if to shake off this thought, and said decisively: "Lilena. Just look at it with your own eyes, how dirty and despicable the war is!"

Jigusi manipulated Torukis to bypass the jets and swung a beam sword at the heavily armed Gundam who had not yet stood up.

The heavily armed Gundam can only stretch out his wrist to parry.

"It's too much... if it's a warrior... if it's a Knight of Piskraft, it's impossible to do that kind of despicable thing!" Lirina, who looked at this scene from the jet plane's cockpit preparing to land, was stained. Got angry.

"Miss Lilena, it's Lieutenant Noyn's contact."

Not expressing whether to take the microphone that Pagan handed her, Lilina shouted: "Miss Noyn, I seem to have misunderstood you. I thought you were an honest person... I can actually see this. This kind of battle is silent! This is not a competition or a duel, it's just killing each other!"

The expression of Noyin who appeared on the display was calmer than usual: "What you said is not wrong...it can't be helped by being considered a bad guy. However, I believe in School Jugger. That's right. I don’t want to interrupt what someone wants to do!"

"Will it be such a trustworthy behavior? This battle!"

Leaving the last sentence behind, Lilena switched the communication circuit to Hiro and shouted: "Hiro! Down with Juggs! It is the shame of Shank Kingdom to commit to OZ this despicable organization! Don't worry! Kill! Die him!"

"No! Your Highness Lilena!"

It was not like the cry of grief that Noin would send out to stop Lirina's actions.

"Please don't be like this... It is true that we and OZ acted together. Moreover, we did not deny our mistakes. The path chosen because of love for the Shank Kingdom cannot be used as an excuse. However, Your Highness Lilena...No matter how fate is playing, please don't have the unfortunate idea of ​​wishing your brother to die!"

"Brother? My brother!" Lirina muttered to herself, then turned to look at the driver's seat: "Pagan?"

The deacon nodded quietly: "I'm sorry to keep hiding from you. Because your Excellency hopes so..."
