Chapter 70 The beginning of the split, the scar that cannot be healed
"Aslan?"
Others will only focus on the Strike Gundam and how to destroy this hateful United Forces Gundam in the future.
But Nigel was paying attention to the expression of his good friend Aslan.
So when Athrun saw the Strike Gundam attacking his own mothership, the instantaneous change in his expression did not escape his eyes.
"Aslan has such a complicated expression."
The clever Nigel did not say anything, nor did he ask Aslan directly in front of the others.
He decided to talk to Aslan alone after the matter was over.
"Diego, let me go. I want to take that damn Strike Gundam down!"
Isaac looked at the still-standing mothership, and after inspecting the body of the machine on the way, he now felt that he was able to function again.
Although the machine is badly damaged, as long as I can still control the gun, I will definitely be able to kill the thief on the opposite side!
"Huh?" Diego's expression twitched, and he stared at Isaac as if he were a mentally retarded person.
"Diego, take them back first."
However, how could Aslan allow Yizhak to fight against his beloved Kira?
It was rare for him to take a tough attitude.
"Yitzhak and Nigel's bodies are now severely damaged. They must return to the mothership for repair as soon as possible."
"I'm enough here. Don't forget, Captain Cruze is still fighting Wang Hu alone!"
"If we can resolve this as soon as possible, we may still have time to support the captain, or even find the new battleship of the coalition forces."
The explanation was flawless, so after hearing what Aslan said, Diego didn't think much about it.
Completely ignoring Izaak's incessant shouting, he flew back to the mothership with the two broken Gundams.
"Aslan, you will come back, right?"
Just when they were about to leave, Nigel, with his hair that looked like a green hat, suddenly said something out of the blue.
"Huh?" Aslan was startled. He didn't understand why his friend suddenly said such a thing at this time.
"Come back, Aslan. We are waiting for you on the mothership."
Without any explanation, Nigel added this sentence and then turned off the communication system.
"Nigel?" Aslan murmured to himself. Did he discover something?
Aslan knows that this comrade beside him, who is extremely meticulous and usually doesn't argue, is actually a very strong fighter.
"Kira."
Shaking his head to temporarily get rid of the unnecessary thoughts from his mind, Athrun controlled the Aegis Gundam and rushed forward.
We’ll talk about Nigel’s matter later. The most urgent thing is to solve Kira’s problem!
"Aslan?"
When the Aegis Gundam and several other Gundams arrived, Kira had already noticed their presence.
And Kira was also prepared to fight the enemy head-on, although according to Wang Hu's arrangement.
In fact, it requires Kira to retreat immediately once he sees the enemy Gundam coming for reinforcement, regardless of whether the enemy ZAFT mothership is sunk or not.
But when Kira noticed that two of the four returning Gundams were badly damaged, he hesitated.
I want to disobey Wang Hu's arrangement for once.
After all, although the enemy mothership was damaged, it was far from sinking.
Moreover, the crumbling enemy mothership seemed to be waving at Kira.
Let him feel like if he just wants to have another shot, then that's it!
The feeling of being able to sink the enemy!
But even though he thought so, he did hesitate for a moment, but when Kira saw Aslan's figure.
He regretted it again!
What will Aslan do if I sink that battleship here?
Will he die here?
So because of this idea, Kira controlled the Strike Gundam and stayed where he was, waiting foolishly for Athrun to arrive.
Even when the Aegis Gundam ran to his side, he still hadn't made any real response.
"Kira!"
Just like Kira in the Strike Gundam on the opposite side, he was mentally prepared to fight with his friend, but when he really walked in front of the opponent.
Aslan looked at Kira motionless, as if he would not resist him in the next moment. Aslan's heart melted in the holy shield, and he sent a directional communication, and he rekindled his fantasy of bringing Kira back.
"Come back with me, Kira." Aslan invited affectionately.
If the two of them were not in the universe now, but were face to face, Aslan would definitely extend his hand.
Then, without waiting for Kira's answer, he hugged him tightly and never let go.
I will never let go!
"Aslan."
The connection was connected by some strange manipulation, and Kira looked at the face of Aslan in the Gundam opposite him that he had been longing for.
He choked up for a moment, and facing the other party's invitation, Kira was actually a little shaken for a moment.
The person opposite is Aslan, his best friend Aslan!
Do you really want to reject him?
Kira didn't know what was in his mind. He was really torn between reality and friendship.
The boy was caught in a state of torn and contradictory psychology.
"Kira, didn't we agree to meet on PLANT?"
When Aslan saw Kira hesitate, he was delighted and immediately decided to try to persuade him.
In an instant, he turned into the male protagonist in a Peninsula idol drama and tried to convince the other party with words.
"You know, I've been waiting for you on the PLANT!"
"I." Kira opened his mouth and was about to say something. Looking into Aslan's eyes, his heart became more and more conflicted.
"Kira, come to ZAFT. I think there must be a reason why you are sitting on the Strike Gundam now."
"But please believe us. As long as you come to PLANT and ZAFT, we will definitely protect you. Nothing will be able to hurt you anymore."
Aslan, not knowing the whole story, continued to think of any excuses he could think of to exonerate his friend.
In his opinion, Kira, who is weak by nature, must have been forced, otherwise why would Kira drive the Strike Gundam?
Little did he know that it would have been better if Aslan didn't mention ZAFT. But when Kira mentioned ZAFT, he thought of the collapsed Heliopolis and Thor and the others on the Archangel.
Of course the most important one is Brother Wang Hu!
"why why!"
With his head lowered, Kira let out a low roar from his throat.
Kira raised his head sharply and asked sternly.
"Orb is a neutral country, why would they attack a neutral country's satellite? Heliopolis has collapsed!"
"A lot of people died. Many, many people died! They were innocent people!"
"Kira?" Stunned by the question, Aslan didn't know how to answer.
Indeed, Orb is a neutral country and ZAFT should not attack it.
But Aslan saw the appearance of the Strike Gundam, and also saw the mark of the Allied Forces in his cockpit that he had not yet removed.
Faced with Kira's questioning, he seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.
"Aub is manufacturing weapons for the United Army. How can such a neutral country be considered neutral?"
"So you attacked Heliopolis? Beat it to pieces?"
Kira's eyes were full of disbelief. He never expected that the other party's explanation would be like this?
If you want to seize the weapons of the United Army, you can do it after the United Army's warships launch the satellite!
Based on what I have seen of the Gundam operating system, I have to say this bluntly.
No natural person can drive it except Brother Wang Hu.
Wouldn't it be possible to avoid implicating innocent ordinary people by taking action outside the satellite?
Kira asked a new question quickly, speaking as he thought of it.
"This" Aslan was stuck. Yes, what Kira said makes sense.
He was right! Aslan, who had never thought about this question before, was dumbfounded.
Why do we have to do it in the satellite?
"Aslan!" Kira's anger slowly rose as he looked at the speechless Aslan.
Kira felt that the other party had changed!
Right now!
Two streaks of light flew over from a distance. They were Cruze's Xigu and Wang Hu's Mobius Zero!
