The moving 105 Launcher Dagger aimed its Flame God Super High Impulse Cannon at the Genesis Gundam, energy gathering at the muzzle.
In the next moment, a beam shot out from the cannon.
The thick beam cut across the battlefield between them, charging straight toward the Genesis Gundam.
Inside the Genesis Gundam's cockpit
Felix watched the incoming beam and calmly executed maneuvers. The Genesis Gundam swung its arm, sweeping a massive Beam Saber across its front.
The beam from the saber clashed with the beam from the Flame God Super High Impulse Cannon.
In the confrontation, the two beams canceled each other out!
As the exchange ended, Felix pressed the forward pedal with his left foot and the reverse pedal with his right, gripping the control sticks with both hands for fine adjustments before pulling the trigger.
Under Felix's control, the Genesis Gundam twisted its body, firing two thick beams from its twin 120cm High-Energy Beam Cannons.
The beams traversed the battlefield!
The two 105 Sword Daggers targeted by Felix attempted evasive maneuvers.
"We can't dodge it!"
A cry of terror escaped the pilots' lips.
In the next instant, the two 105 Sword Daggers were sliced in half by the beams. The severed sections triggered chain reactions, ultimately exploding and shattering into fragments in the void of space.
"Bastard!"
Watching his comrades perish, a pilot of a 105 Slaughter Dagger growled in fury.
His gaze fixed on the Genesis Gundam, he gripped the control sticks tightly, fingers pressing down on the firing trigger.
The 105 Slaughter Dagger raised its Beam Rifle, targeting the Meteor unit equipped on the Genesis Gundam.
As it opened fire, other 105 Daggers simultaneously unleashed their attacks toward the Genesis Gundam.
A multi-directional barrage assailed the Genesis Gundam.
Observing everything on his screen, Felix calmly executed maneuvers based on his knowledge and the feedback from his Intuition.
Following commands, the Genesis Gundam swiftly responded with preset actions from its movement library.
Through a series of twists and turns, it evaded every incoming attack.
His finger pulled the trigger!
The 93.7cm High-Energy Beam Cannon fired.
A brilliant light appeared on the battlefield, followed by two even brighter flashes.
"Used the Wired Guided Gun-barrels as decoys?"
Felix murmured to himself as he watched the explosions.
He pressed hard on the reverse pedal, adjusting the control sticks in his hands.
The Genesis Gundam shifted diagonally backward to the left.
Seven or eight beams shot through the space where the Genesis Gundam had just been standing.
Beep! Beep!!
Two alarm sounds rang out.
Felix glanced at the instrument panel, noting the destruction of one DRAGOON Beam Assault Cannon before returning his focus ahead.
He stomped hard on the forward pedal!
The two ultra-high-thrust boosters on the Meteor unit instantly generated immense propulsion.
The tremendous thrust propelled the Genesis Gundam forward at high speed.
During the charge, Felix continuously adjusted the control sticks with both hands.
After dodging attacks repeatedly, the Genesis Gundam broke straight through the encirclement of the 105 Dagger Unit.
"Stop him!"
A voice shouted over the 105 Dagger Unit's comms.
All 105 Dagger pilots acknowledged the command, pursuing the Genesis Gundam from various angles.
During flight, a frustrated voice of unwillingness echoed through the communications.
"Damn it, this guy's flying speed is just too fast, can't catch up at all."
Following the resentful complaint came the pull of the firing trigger.
The wired guided gun-barrels detached and, propelled by thrusters, moved into position.
Electromagnetic cannons aimed and fired at the Genesis Gundam.
Inside the Genesis Gundam's cockpit
Felix pressed the command buttons.
The Genesis Gundam executed a rolling maneuver, effortlessly evading the attack.
Just as an enemy on the other side attempted a sneak attack, the DRAGOON beam assault cannons, under Felix's control, fired at the enemy.
The high-speed beam attack instantly disrupted the rhythm of the 105 Dagger pilot. The pilot's finger moved away from the firing trigger as they maneuvered the 105 Dagger to evade.
After dodging the attack, the perfect firing opportunity had vanished without a trace.
On the battlefield
Inside the bridge of a Nelson-class heavy firepower battleship
"Captain, that ZAFT MS is charging toward us!"
The radar operator, after confirming the data displayed on the radar, immediately reported to the captain. Upon hearing the report, the captain's expression turned grave, and he promptly issued an order.
"Engage!"
"Yes!"
The tactical commander, receiving the order, responded in a loud, clear voice.
Observing the information displayed on the screen before him, the tactical commander immediately gave the command.
Following the order, the beam cannons equipped on the Nelson-class heavy firepower battleship aimed and fired at the Genesis Gundam.
After the beams were fired, missiles were ejected from their launch tubes one after another. With long trails of flame from their tails, the missiles followed the beams as they charged toward the Genesis Gundam.
Inside the Genesis Gundam's cockpit
Felix, guided by the trajectories in his mind, swiftly operated the controls with both hands.
The Genesis Gundam responded to the commands, executing all movements at the fastest possible speed!
It dodged the fire from the 105 Dagger behind it and evaded the attacks from the Nelson-class heavy firepower battleship ahead. The Genesis Gundam gripped the mechanical arm's handle, and the beam saber was swung into action.
With a single sweeping slash, it instantly destroyed all the missiles.
Felix pressed the trigger, and the 120cm high-energy beam cannon fired.
"Hard left rudder, evade!"
Watching the attack, the captain of the Nelson-class heavy firepower battleship urgently issued the order.
Hearing the command, the helmsman manipulated the rudder to execute a hard left turn. The battleship, responding to the rudder's movement, followed suit.
As the battleship moved, the helmsman, staring tensely at the display, reported.
"Captain, we can't evade in time!"
No sooner had the reply been spoken than the beam struck two of the turrets.
An explosion instantly erupted on the Nelson-class heavy firepower battleship, and urgent alarm sounds filled the bridge.
Felix, observing the Nelson-class heavy firepower battleship now engulfed in explosions, did not pause his actions.
The 120cm high-energy beam cannon and the 93.7cm high-energy beam cannon fired simultaneously.
After unleashing the firepower, the Genesis Gundam moved to the left front to evade an attack, then shifted to the right.
These two movements allowed it to dodge the incoming assaults.
What Felix saw next was this Nelson-class heavy firepower battleship being struck once again.
The hull was now battered and torn, completely incapable of continuing the fight. For this reason, Felix maneuvered the Genesis Gundam to move toward the right front.
While evading attacks during movement, Felix pressed the forward pedal with his left foot and the backward pedal with his right, making fine adjustments to the Genesis Gundam's motion.
Through this series of maneuvers, the Genesis Gundam completed a turn on the battlefield.
A 93.7cm High-Energy Beam Cannon fired.
A 105 Slaughter Dagger pilot saw the beam rapidly approaching his position, cursed aloud, and issued defensive commands while maneuvering the 105 Slaughter Dagger.
During the evasion, the beam grazed one of the 105 Slaughter Dagger's arms.
The intense heat instantly breached the MS's armor, causing the entire arm to explode.
Amidst the blaring alarm sounds, the 105 Slaughter Dagger pilot immediately retreated, putting as much distance as possible between himself and the Genesis Gundam.
Seeing the opponent's cowardly behavior, Felix chose not to pursue the attack, instead maneuvering the Genesis Gundam away.
While moving, the Genesis Gundam dodged attacks from wired guided gun-barrels.
At that moment, the DRAGOON system opened fire—the remaining five DRAGOON Beam Assault Cannons instantly destroyed five wired guided gun-barrels.
After firing, the DRAGOON Beam Assault Cannons quickly repositioned.
As the five DRAGOON Beam Assault Cannons moved in different directions, a Sandwich Beam shot from a distance, ambushing and destroying one of them.
Beep! Beep!!
Two warning alarms sounded.
Felix glanced briefly at the alerts and continued his maneuvers.
Meanwhile
Aboard the Eternal near the Moon
Lacus sat in the captain's chair holding Haro, her expression serious with a hint of sorrow. After sitting quietly for a moment, she turned to Andrew and asked:
"Mr. Waltfeld, has the battle on the Moon begun?"
Andrew checked the time and nodded in response.
"Based on the timeline we received earlier, the battle should have been underway for about twenty minutes now."
Lacus nodded gently at Andrew, then looked forward and voiced her thoughts:
"Can we establish contact with the Athena?"
Considering her request, Andrew thought for a moment before shaking his head.
"The battle is currently ongoing. Both Felix and Aric are engaged in combat at their respective stations—they likely won't have time to respond to us right now."
Lacus looked at Andrew with concern and nodded.
"I understand."
After acknowledging this, Lacus stood and walked off the bridge. Andrew watched her leave in silence before turning back to face forward.
"Commander, are we just staying on standby here?"
Martin, who had overheard the conversation, asked Andrew this question. Andrew glanced at his subordinate and replied expressionlessly:
"Yes."
Hearing this simple affirmation, Martin asked no further questions.
He withdrew his gaze from Andrew and returned to his duties.
Aprilius City District 1
After spending some time outside, Creuset returned home. Sitting on the sofa, he toyed with his phone while typing on the virtual keyboard, watching words appear one after another on the screen.
As he recorded these notes, Creuset muttered quietly to himself.
"Based on my recent outings, I can roughly estimate there are about five to ten people secretly monitoring me."
After saying this, Creuset stopped his operations, pocketed his phone again, and gazed at the sofa while pondering the faces of these individuals.
Through continuous recollection, Creuset conjured some rather blurry human faces.
At this thought, Creuset ceased his ruminations and instead calmly made a decision.
"It seems I'll need to make a few more trips out to fully identify all those secretly watching me."
Once his plan was set, Creuset raised his phone, reviewed its contents, and pressed the delete button.
After erasing all the recently recorded information, Creuset slipped the phone back into his pocket.
Battlefield between ZAFT Forces and Earth Alliance Forces
The Genesis Gundam shifted left and backward to evade an attack, then fired its 93.7cm High-Energy Beam Cannon.
A thick beam shot across the battlefield.
A 105 Slaughter Dagger was struck, and the MS instantly erupted into a violent explosion.
At the moment of the blast, the Genesis Gundam moved left, causing the incoming attack from across the battlefield to miss.
Felix then pulled the trigger.
The Sailfish Railgun at its waist deployed, firing a shell at high speed.
"Damn it!"
A 105 Slaughter Dagger pilot growled under his breath, quickly maneuvering his controls.
Under his command, the 105 Slaughter Dagger dodged one shell, but another squarely hit the shield it held up.
The energy carried by the shell transferred to the shield, forcing the 105 Slaughter Dagger backward.
Seeing this, the pilot urgently pressed the forward pedal, halting the MS's retreat while using its arm to tilt the shield.
The energized shell slid off at the shield's angled surface.
Leaving a deep scar on the shield, it continued its trajectory forward.
"Whew!"
Letting out a long breath, the pilot stared at the Genesis Gundam on his screen and squeezed the trigger.
The 105 Slaughter Dagger's Beam Rifle fired.
Beep! Beep!!
Two urgent alarm sounds echoed through the cockpit.
Hearing the frantic alarms, the pilot's tense nerves heightened, his eyes darting across the screen in search of the threat.
By the time he spotted the DRAGOON Beam Assault Cannon, its barrel had already emitted a beam.
"Bastard!"
He snarled in fury.
The pilot hurriedly worked his controls.
As he operated, the beam pierced through.
Both he and it were acting, but clearly, the beam's speed was superior.
Before the 105 Slaughter Dagger could complete its evasion, the beam had already penetrated its cockpit.
An explosion tore through the MS.
Watching the destroyed 105 Slaughter Dagger, Felix piloted the Genesis Gundam forward.
Two attacks from Wired Guided Gun-barrels were easily dodged.
Having evaded this assault, Felix executed another maneuver, sending the Genesis Gundam rapidly ascending.
The beams aimed at it missed the spot where the Gundam had just stood.
Inside the Genesis Gundam's Cockpit
Felix surveyed the battlefield via the screen and pulled the trigger.
The 93.7cm High-Energy Beam Cannon fired once more.
The beam raced across, ultimately piercing through a 105 Launcher Dagger.
"It seems a bit easier to fight now than when we first started."
Watching the exploding 105 Launcher Dagger, Felix remarked calmly. After speaking, he pressed the retreat pedal firmly, causing the Genesis Gundam to move backward.
Beams crisscrossed across the screen before his eyes.
Felix activated the Multiple Lock-on System, targeting one direction.
Once fully locked on, he pulled the trigger.
In the next moment, powerful firepower poured forth from both the Genesis Gundam and the Meteor.
After firing this shot, Felix didn't bother checking the final outcome. He pressed the forward pedal hard, and the Meteor's thrusters instantly erupted with immense force.
Propelled by this power, the Genesis Gundam surged forward at high speed.
While moving, the Genesis Gundam deployed its two Whale Plasma Cluster Beam Cannons once again.
