Machine Lion Roar

On a remote route outside the Earth-Moon system.

A solitary asteroid is flying fast along a predetermined orbit.

This may be a humble flight during the long years of formation of this asteroid, but at this moment, this asteroid, which should not have been discovered by the world, nor recorded by the world, has welcomed a group of guests.

"The course is confirmed, and it is parking into the target orbit."

That is a spaceship with the ship's side painted with the most powerful force in the current human world-the flag of the Principality of Zeon, slowly moving from the distant universe to this one in the endless darkness Asteroids that have lingered for countless years.

The helmsman of this spacecraft possessed superb technology, and completed the task of mooring into the asteroid's synchronous orbit in one-third less time than originally planned.

"Captain. Successfully moored into orbit! It's time for the treasure hunters to disembark."

The black helmsman with three golden studs arranged from top to bottom on his left ear gave a thumbs up to the bearded middle-aged man sitting in the command position behind.

"Well. Let the notification go down and let those bastards quickly disembark to hunt for treasure! This ship will conduct a troubleshooting on the synchronized orbit as originally planned. The time is 72 hours. Let the bastards complete the first wave of searches after this time limit."

"Yes! Captain!"

After half an hour, the hatch of the spaceship gradually opened.A group of humans wearing thick space suits with their hands resting on the handles of the engineering drone for the universe slowly landed on the surface of the asteroid.

"Successfully landed. Each team reports the status."

"A small group, safe."

"Second group, safe."

"three···"

The third group just responded, and all the voices were obscured by a loud rustling sound.

"Hello? The third group! The third group! What happened?"

The commander of this treasure hunting team suddenly had a heartbreak.

Could it be an accident?

As a result, the commander who quickly called for the manpower hurried to the position of the third group, but was shocked by the amazing sight that appeared in front of him.

"Heavenly Father! The treasure we were looking for appeared on its own."

On the transparent space mask, the shadow of the irregular object that emerged from the ground was loomingly reflected.

UC Era, 0078, August.

I, an unknown person who fought for Zeon's independence.Under the guidance of the great Commander-in-Chief Kilian, he crossed the dark universe and finally found the key force that would allow the Principality of Zeon to defeat the evil federation on an asteroid that shouldn't appear in this world.

――――――――

The dim underground space was dispelled by the large lights that turned on, and the prototype that had just rolled off the line was presented to everyone.

"This, this is?"

Appearing in front of the woman is a tortoise shell-shaped frame with a Zaku-style head monitor in the center of the front armor, and supporting this huge body no less than ten meters in length and width is four pieces like arthropods. This sharp limb.

"Appsalas. This is just a trial model. Aina. From now on, you will be its test pilot." The tall man standing beside the woman said with a confident smile on his lips.

"Apsalas. Is this the brother's work?" The woman named Aina turned her head and looked at the man, which is the profile of Kinhas.

"Yes. But now Apsalas is not yet successful. We still lack one key thing. Aina. Go on it! Now only Apsalas can bring back such a key thing. "Kinhas lowered his eyes and looked at his sister's pretty face.

"Something?" Ina was puzzled.

"Yes. It is the power furnace of Apsalas. Now the power furnace used by Apsalas is only the reaction furnace of Zaku II. Among the alternatives, the reaction furnace that uses the big magic is retained. However, this is still not the final form of Apsalas." Kinhas raised his eyes, looked at Apsalas’s Zaku-style head, and said slowly:

"Only by bringing back something like that, can Apsalas have the power to launch a surprise attack from outside the atmosphere in a single plane, destroying Chabro, the headquarters of the Federal Army in one fell swoop."

Aina looked at Kinas with her fists tightly clenched, her expression surprised.

"What the hell is that?"

"That, that's the mysterious substance that Zeon found in a barren universe before the Battle of Loum. That's the power of God."

Kiniyas' eyes showed a trace of yearning, but this trace of yearning did not last long.

"Aina. Go! Now Norris needs your help."

At this point, Kinas didn't have many thoughts to continue.Or maybe there is only that thing in the heart of Kinas now.

"Aina. Be my help!"

Under Kinhas's gaze, the woman who had been put on the pilot's suit slowly boarded the cockpit of the large weapon named Apsalas.

"The hatch is open! The planes are in place, and confirm the status of the slings around Apsalas! Three minutes to take off is expected."

Noting the questioning gaze cast by the commander, Kinas raised his hand, and then put it down, already approving the request for the planes carrying Apsalas to lift off.

"Boom rumbling..."

With bunches of flames erupting, the entire underground space reverberated with the sound of roaring engines. Then, under the force of many Dora, Apsaras slowly rose along the huge hole above his head. Until it completely flies out of the underground space and rises into the vast sky.

"The takeoff went smoothly! Now Apsalas is entering the prescribed route according to the original plan. Half an hour after the reservation, contact with the X3 engine occurred."

The report sounded constantly, but Kinas, who returned to the command position, didn't care about the content of the report. He just stared at the screen in a daze, which represented the two light spots of the Aprasas and the X3 engine.

When these two points of light converge, it is when he, Kinas Sakhalin, restores his family's glory.

"Aina, Aina, Aina! Be my help! Just like you said when you were a kid. Work hard for your brother!"

The man whose eyes grew hotter and crazier didn't know that in the shadows, his eyes were also watching him.

"Interesting. What this guy said, I am afraid, no, even if it is not, it has something to do with what we are looking for."

After the golden eyes showed a hint of thinking, they quietly disappeared into the shadows.

At the same time, with the help of many Dora transport planes, the huge Apsaras ascended to the cloud-filled firmament, and Lei Mingkai and others, who had finished resting in place, also started a new round of tasks.

The tall and dense trees conceal the 18-meter-high Land Gundam densely and densely, but while providing excellent concealment, it also makes it troublesome for everyone driving the Landing Gundam.

The dense surrounding trees will not only block the dense branches from the front of Gundam, but also cling to these branches. The rattan on the trunk is also one of the factors that hinder the advance of Gundam.

"Miss Kiki. Is there no other way to go?"

Lei Mingkai frowned, looked at the communication screen next to him and asked.

Although Kiki, who successfully won the task of leading the way, still wanted to stay on top of Shiro Amada’s land warfare, she was rushed to the 74-type air-cushion truck following the rear of the team by the majestic Leot with the national character face. on.

So, Qiqi above the little temper hummed a few times.

"How do I know that this path was pretty smooth when I walked on my own! Who knew it would become like this now?"

I have to say that the little girl who plays with a little temper is indeed a trouble.But Leo Te, and even Shiro Amada didn't care.Only after looking at each other across the screen, he stopped talking.

Lei Mingkai knew that the two captains did not want to focus too much energy on this unnecessary thing.

While such a dense jungle brings difficulties to MS when moving, it also means that in a corner that is difficult to be discovered, it is very likely that the enemy's secret whistle is hidden.

If that is the case, before entering the mission area, I am afraid that the enemy will be ambushed.

Moreover, the climate of the tropical rain forest is unstable.

When Lei Mingkai and the others left the mountain village, the scorching sun was still hanging in the high sky, and it had already turned into a clouded sky.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning ran across the sky, twisting his body and rushing towards the horizon.

"No! It's going to rain! Murster, Eredoya, be careful!" As soon as Shiro Amada's voice fell, more and more violent bursts broke out in the dark clouds that covered the entire sky. lightning.

"Kacha rumbling!"

The majesty of heaven and earth is fully demonstrated at this moment.

The endless thunder sound and the lightning that keeps flashing the screen have become the absolute protagonist of the tropical rain forest at this moment.

"Wow!"

Amidst the thunder and lightning, heavy rain came suddenly.

"Captain Amada, take shelter from the rain!"

Leotte looked at the heavy rain that bends the surrounding branches, and reluctantly offered a suggestion.

At this point, neither the camera of the Gundam Ground nor the sonar carried by the 74-type air-cushion truck can work properly.

In this situation of blindness, if you continue to march, I am afraid you will encounter some accidents.

"Yeah. Let's stop here!" Shiro Amada nodded.

During the heavy rain, Lei Mingkai and Shiro Amada controlled their respective landlines, respectively holding the four square corners of the tent, carefully pulling up a small world for the members of the sixth and eighth teams to keep out the rain.

"Thank you! Ensign."

After fixing the tent, Shiro Amada gave Lei Ming Kebi his thumb.

Lei Mingkai shook his head, and then stepped down from the No. 3 Gundam and stood on the muddy ground still flowing with rain.

"It seems that this rain will not be able to finish for a while."

Lei Mingkai raised his eyes and looked at the heavy rain on the edge of the tent.

The sudden heavy rain dropped the visibility to about ten meters.In such a severely obstructed view, it is impossible to carry out the mission at all, and even fighting will find it very difficult.

Fortunately, the other party may also suffer the same conditions.

"Yeah. Wait a minute! Second lieutenant." Leiote stood next to Lei Mingkai and sighed with a map soaked in rain.

Originally, Leotte's idea was to strike at the enemy's stronghold hidden deep in the rainforest by means of blitzkrieg, but now it has fallen through.

"We may still have a chance." Lei Mingkai said suddenly.

Then, he turned and walked to Kiki, who was sitting on a rock that was barely submerged by rainwater flowing all over the floor.

"Miss Kiki. Apart from this road, are there other roads that can reach the target area?"

Facing Lei Mingkai's question, Qiqi curled her lips, seeming a little reluctant, but after all she said it.

"Yes! But with the size of you big guys, it's impossible to pass. This is still under normal sunlight."

Qiqi thought for a while, and shook her head again.

"It's raining heavily now. The road must have become muddy. If these big guys ran over, I'm afraid they will get stuck in the mud and they won't be able to move."

"Mud? Kiki, you mean there is a way past the nearby swamp?"

Obviously, Shiro Amada seemed to have done his homework on the nearby terrain.

"Well, it's almost the same. Anyway, if you big guys go where they go, I'm afraid they won't be able to pass. If, these floatable cars will count."

Kiki's words silenced everyone.

The heavy Land Combat Gundam cannot pass, and even if it can pass the 74-type air-cushion truck, it will not make much difference.

You must know that at least one ground-type Zaku II will be stationed at the opponent's secret stronghold.

The heavy rain is still going on.

The big raindrops were constantly beating on the tent with dense noises, just like everyone's troubles at the moment.

"Let me go! I may have a way."

Suddenly, among the people who were distressed about the current situation, Lei Mingkai spoke.

"Second lieutenant?! What can you do?" Leotte looked at Lei Mingkai.

"Perhaps! But I need to keep it secret! After all, this is also my secret as a war reporter." Lei Mingkai smiled mysteriously, and didn't mean to express his thoughts.

"You are alone? Second Lieutenant." Shiro Amada also asked.

"Yes. I'm the only one. Besides, after I leave, the Gundam No. 3 can be temporarily driven by Murster."

"Wait! You left the Marine Gundam No. 3, so what do you do? Even if you pass that path, is it possible that you want to attack Zeon with your fist? Zaku?"

Obviously, Leiou Te could not agree with Lei Mingkai's suggestion.

"Captain. I naturally have a way to deal with the situation. Moreover, according to Miss Kiki, even if I drive the No. 3 Marine Gundam over, I can't pass the swamp, right?"

"So, in order to buy time, the person who can quickly lead the road that Miss Kiki said in this rainstorm weather should, and it can only be me."

Lei Mingkai's face was full of confident smiles.
