"Shatterstar, emerge! Engage Stealth Shield!"
Ethan waved his hand.
Vwoom...
The colossal Shatterstar Mech materialized in midair. In the same instant, a transparent, shimmering light spread outward, enveloping the entire hundred-mile stretch of sea.
Ethan figured that since Celeste had mentioned the Memory Wipers, there was no harm in letting these ordinary people witness something extraordinary. Still, Shatterstar was enormous, and its sudden appearance would surely draw the attention of satellites orbiting Earth. So he immediately activated the Stealth Shield.
A wave of gasps and shouts rippled through the crowd.
"Ah!" someone screamed.
"Holy cow... a Gundam!" another cried out.
Terror quickly gave way to awe. They had been frightened by the monsters, but the sight of this gleaming, high-tech marvel lit up their faces with fascination.
