"Let's get to work!"
Felix grinned as he opened communications and addressed his subordinates.
Heine responded with a laugh. "Time to stretch our legs?"
"I've been waiting for this," Doulens' voice came through the comms right after Heine.
With a smile still on his face, Felix piloted the Dawn straight toward the Archangel.
On the battlefield, Athrun noticed the Strike and the advancing Felix and his team through his comms display. Seeing the Dawn piloted by Felix, Athrun's expression shifted. He quickly made a decision, pulled the trigger to destroy the Mobius in front of him, and then transformed the Aegis Gundam into Mobile Armor mode.
He accelerated rapidly toward the Strike.
The Mobius, observing Athrun's maneuver, moved into position behind the Aegis Gundam, aiming to attack it.
A beam shot from its left side.
The Mobius was instantly pierced, erupting into a violent explosion mid-air.
"Damn it! Leave that area to Captain Griffith and the others. Why are you heading over there?" After firing that shot, Yzak looked at the maneuvering Aegis Gundam with confusion, opening communications to question Athrun.
Inside the Aegis Gundam's cockpit, Athrun ignored Yzak's inquiry completely, continuing to pilot the Aegis Gundam at high speed.
"Worried about your close friend?" Felix, in the Dawn's cockpit, watched the Aegis Gundam's movements on his screen and grinned, teasing aloud.
Then, Felix sighed in admiration. "As expected of a G-series MS, its performance is truly outstanding."
Meanwhile, inside the Strike Gundam's cockpit, Kira grew anxious upon seeing Felix and his team's actions. He prepared to pilot the Strike Gundam to intercept them.
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
A series of alarm sounds rang in his ears.
Kira checked all the screens and saw Athrun's Aegis Gundam charging toward him at high speed.
"Athrun," he murmured the name softly.
His hands moved to evade the Aegis Gundam.
The Aegis Gundam brushed past the Strike Gundam, then transformed into MS mode, aiming its Beam Rifle and firing at the Strike Gundam.
Under Kira's control, the Strike Gundam dodged the Aegis Gundam's attack.
After evading, Kira saw the perilous situation the Archangel was in and grew frantic. He had no intention of engaging Athrun here.
Piloting the Strike Gundam, he returned fire at the Aegis Gundam but tried to maneuver toward the Archangel.
"Kira, don't go over there!" Athrun controlled the Aegis Gundam to evade the attack, firing to intercept the Strike Gundam, and opened communications to warn Kira.
Kira replied through the comms, "Athrun, I have to go. My friends are there!"
"Kira, if you go, you'll die. That's not someone you can fight against!"
Hearing Kira's resolute response, Athrun's voice carried urgency over the comms. As he spoke, he manipulated the controls, directing the Aegis Gundam's Beam Rifle to fire at the Strike Gundam.
The Strike Gundam raised its shield to block one or two beams while Kira maneuvered the mobile suit to evade the others. "No, I have to go!"
"You can't go!"
"Captain, should we assist?"
Noticing the battle between the Strike Gundam and Aegis Gundam, Heine opened a comm channel to ask Felix.
Felix chuckled at the question.
"No need!" he replied, then observed the situation with the Eighth Fleet's advance team and ordered Heine: "Heine, lead a squad to join Creuset's team in attacking the Eighth Fleet's advance force."
"Understood!"
—
Heine acknowledged the command decisively.
After replying, he piloted his CGUE away from the main force and instructed his squad over comms: "Follow me!"
His squad members confirmed and maneuvered their CGUEs to follow Heine's movements.
After Heine departed with his team, Felix gazed at the distant Archangel, a smirk forming on his lips.
"Let the games begin! Hope you can withstand what's coming."
No sooner had he spoken than Felix executed evasive maneuvers with the Dawn.
The Dawn effortlessly dodged attacks launched by the Moebius Zero.
Seeing this, Mu maintained a stern expression, not daring to relax as he deployed the Wired Funnel Pods from the Moebius Zero.
The pods targeted the Dawn from multiple directions.
A barrage of fire converged from all sides.
Felix remained calm, his hands dancing across the controls.
Through continuous evasive maneuvers, he avoided every incoming attack.
The Dawn's Heavy Assault Machine Gun roared to life.
A single shot instantly obliterated one Wired Funnel Pod.
"Captain, we can handle this guy."
Just as Felix prepared to continue attacking, Doulens' voice came through the comms.
Felix responded with an amused smile, declining: "No need, I'll play with him myself." After the refusal, he added: "You continue advancing toward the Archangel."
"Understood!"
Doulens accepted the command.
He piloted his CGUE forward relentlessly.
Mu's face twisted with tension at the sight.
The Moebius Zero turned to aim attacks at Doulens' group.
The Dawn immediately fired a shot straight at the Moebius Zero.
The Moebius Zero executed evasive maneuvers in space while Mu used another Wired Funnel Pod as a decoy.
The pod exploded in the void.
This allowed the Moebius Zero to narrowly escape the danger.
"Quite clever tactics," Felix praised Mu's choice, though his tone turned cold as he added: "But let's see how many more times you can use that decoy strategy."
As he spoke, the Dawn evaded attacks from the remaining Wired Funnel Pods behind it.
The New Guuru, under Felix's control, charged toward the Wired Funnel Pods.
Mu quickly manipulated the controls.
The Wired Funnel Pods moved through space.
The New Guuru, controlled by Felix, mirrored their movements with precision.
Under Felix's command, the New Guuru demonstrated superior mobility, faster firing speed, and more unpredictable attack angles.
Shells erupted from its Machine Cannon.
An explosion erupted in the depths of space!
Only one Wired Funnel Pod remained on the Moebius Zero.
"Damn it!"
Mu's expression tightened as he let out a low growl.
His hands never stopped moving, piloting the Moebius Zero as it darted erratically through space like a frantic mouse.
Even while evading, he continued firing with his linear cannons.
"Not bad for someone called the Eagle of Endymion. You've got some skills."
Felix smoothly maneuvered the Dawn to evade the Moebius Zero's repeated attacks, watching the frantic movements with an amused smile.
His expression then turned cold as he sneered.
"But I'm done playing around."
With those words, he guided the Dawn through complex maneuvers in space, his finger pulling the trigger. The Dawn raised its rifle and fired at the Moebius Zero.
After that shot, Felix controlled the New Guuru to move from another angle, opening fire on the Moebius Zero from a different direction.
"Can't dodge this!"
