In the Eternal's Hangar
"Athrun!"
The call came from behind Athrun.
Athrun, who was floating toward the Justice Gundam, stopped and turned around. Seeing Kira approaching, Athrun concealed his worried expression and smiled at him.
"Kira."
Floating to Athrun's side, Kira reached out and patted his shoulder, speaking in a gentle, comforting tone.
"Athrun, don't worry. We will end this battle."
Hearing these words of comfort, Athrun nodded slightly.
"Yeah."
Kira responded with a faint smile, then pushed off toward his Freedom Gundam. As Kira moved away, Athrun continued toward his Justice Gundam.
...
"Kira Yamato, Freedom launching!"
...
"Athrun Zala, Justice launching!"
The Justice Gundam and Freedom Gundam stood at the forefront as the Meteor unit separated from the forward section of the Eternal.
During their gradual movement, the Meteor unit successfully connected with both the Freedom and Justice Gundams.
"Kira, let's move out!"
Looking ahead, Athrun spoke to Kira.
Kira responded with a soft "Yeah" and a nod, then piloted the Freedom Gundam to follow closely behind the Justice Gundam as they advanced rapidly.
On the Eternal's Bridge
"Eternal setting sail!"
Lacus declared with a stern expression and resolute voice.
Andrew nodded slightly upon hearing this and issued the sailing command while looking forward.
The thrusters erupted with powerful force, propelling the Eternal forward until it reached extremely high velocity.
Following behind the Eternal were the Archangel, Kusanagi, and other battleships.
On the Athena's Bridge
"Commander, the battle near Boaz Fortress has begun."
Aric stood beside Felix, reporting with a grave expression. Felix looked up at Aric and inquired without changing his expression.
"What's the situation with the Earth Alliance Forces at Boaz Fortress?"
Shaking his head, Aric replied.
"No information on that front yet."
Hearing this, Felix stopped questioning and looked down at the electronic map on the table before speaking.
"Maintain communication with Lacus and the others. Relay the relevant situation to them."
Aric nodded slightly, raised his hand in a salute, and responded.
"Understood."
After receiving the response, Felix performed some operations on the electronic map. Setting this matter aside, he stood up and headed out of the bridge.
Seeing Felix's movement, Aric asked with concern.
"Commander, are you preparing to launch?"
Glancing back at Aric, Felix nodded slightly.
"Yeah."
After this brief reply, Felix continued toward the exit of the bridge.
...
"Felix Leo Griffith, Genesis launching!"
Yzak manipulated the controls with both hands, firing the Duel Gundam's Beam Rifle.
A beam shot from the barrel, instantly destroying an attacking Strike Dagger. After this shot, Yzak maneuvered the Duel Gundam to turn and move.
Through the screen, Yzak saw the Calamity Gundam dominating the battlefield like an unstoppable force.
"Damn it!"
His face contorted with rage as Yzak gritted his teeth. Pressing the accelerator pedal hard, he piloted the Duel Gundam straight toward the Calamity Gundam.
Inside the Calamity Gundam's cockpit
Orga continuously pulled the firing trigger, unleashing a barrage of fierce artillery fire at that moment.
"So weak!"
After firing, Orga commented with disinterest.
As he said this, Orga spotted the Duel Gundam charging toward him on the screen.
"A different MS."
He remarked with growing interest.
Orga maneuvered the Calamity Gundam to evade.
Dodging the beam fired by the Duel Gundam, the Calamity Gundam aimed its King of Road Plasma Piercing Rocket Launcher and opened fire at the Duel Gundam.
Seeing the incoming beam, Yzak quickly executed evasive maneuvers, making the Duel Gundam dodge left according to his commands.
Yzak pulled the trigger, firing the electromagnetic cannons mounted on the shoulder armor directly at the Calamity Gundam.
The projectiles raced toward the Calamity Gundam.
Orga responded by shifting the Calamity Gundam left, but just then two GINNs flanked from the left side, aiming their beam rifles at the Calamity Gundam.
As they prepared to fire, a mace swung in from the left.
One of the two GINNs failed to evade in time and was instantly struck by the mace. While its posture destabilized, the Forbidden Gundam fired a distortion beam.
The trajectory-warping beam instantly pierced through the GINN.
"What is that thing?"
Yzak watched the distortion beam fired by the Forbidden Gundam, his expression tense and anxious. At that moment, the Forbidden Gundam launched another distortion beam at the Duel Gundam.
Seeing the Forbidden Gundam's bizarre attack, Yzak controlled the Duel Gundam to evade.
The Raider Gundam charged in at that moment, transforming into MS form and swinging its mace at the Duel Gundam.
Yzak immediately maneuvered the Duel Gundam to dodge.
"A different kind of opponent!"
Shani watched as the Duel Gundam evaded the Raider Gundam's mace, his interest piqued. While speaking, Shani controlled the Forbidden Gundam to fire again at the Duel Gundam.
As the Forbidden Gundam attacked, the Raider Gundam transformed into MA form and launched an assault on the Duel Gundam.
Yzak analyzed the situation with a grave expression as attacks came from two directions.
"Commander!"
A subordinate's voice came through the comm at that moment.
Hearing this, Yzak's expression changed, and he urgently shouted into the comm.
"Don't come over!"
His voice transmitted through the comm to the others.
The Joule Team members, hearing Yzak's command, paused briefly but then ignored the order upon seeing his perilous situation, continuing to charge forward.
While advancing, they pulled their triggers.
Beam rifles fired their attacks.
The high-speed beams caused some disruption to the Raider Gundam.
After maneuvering the Raider Gundam to evade the attacks, Cloth glared displeased at these Joule Team members.
"Die!"
A bloodthirsty and cruel growl escaped his lips.
Cloth piloted the Raider Gundam to charge toward these Joule Team members.
Seeing this, Yzak moved to intercept the Raider Gundam.
"How could I let you pass!"
Shani laughed as he pulled the trigger.
A beam fired and twisted toward the Duel Gundam.
Orga also took this opportunity to control the Calamity Gundam and open fire at the Duel Gundam piloted by Yzak.
Attacks coming from multiple directions forced Yzak to abandon his initial plan, maneuvering the Duel Gundam through space to evade them.
Just as he aimed the Beam Rifle at the Calamity Gundam, the Forbidden Gundam's assault struck.
"Damn it!"
Muttering a low curse, Yzak piloted the Duel Gundam to dodge.
Having evaded the attack, before Yzak could catch his breath, the Calamity Gundam's offensive resumed.
