Machine Lion Roar

Outside the azure planet, there is a huge stone stele with nearly 250,000 lives buried in an instant.

Junius No. 7.

In that panic called Scarlet Valentine's Day, it was destroyed as a PLANT agricultural base.

It became this tombstone that forever floated in space, wandering around the earth over and over again from the earth's far-earth orbit.

A year after that shocking change, a civil spacecraft with the condolences from all PLANT citizens, the Silver Wind, docked above this tombstone, to commemorate the many compatriots who died that day. .

However, this supposedly serious memorial service has cast a shadow over it.

On the first floor, the shadow from the call of death.

"Da da da da!"

Looking from space, there was a flash of light from the porthole of the Silverwind, and then a dark shadow fell down with a hint of blush.

Stepping on the bright red liquid that gradually expanded and dyed the cold floor red, a group of figures wrapped in combat uniforms quickly passed through the passage and sent an impact toward the depths of the Silver Wind.

"Da da da da da!"

The sound of gunshots echoed continuously in the passage.

In the flickering fire, the figures of the attackers became denser.

"Tsk! This damn coalition!!!"

The bodyguard, who only had a pistol in his hand as a self-defense weapon, gritted his teeth, took advantage of the attacker's fire gap, raised his hand abruptly, and fired a bullet at the attacker who was trying to launch an assault.

"Lux! Let's go back!"

The bodyguards firmly guarded the door in front of him, but Lei Mingkai knew that the opponent had come prepared.

Relying on the self-defense pistols of the bodyguards alone, it is impossible to repel the enemy.

Yes!

The attack in Lei Mingkai's memory happened.

Although Lei Mingkai had repeatedly hinted that the trip was risky before the departure of the Silverwind, he still did not regard it as the same thing.

Until now, everyone found that the plan they had already made could not cope with the unexpected situation.

Although the bodyguards are tall and large, the self-defense pistols they carry are not semi-automatic rifles at all, and they may even be opponents of attackers with more powerful weapons.

The corners of Lux's mouth moved, but she didn't say anything.

Because Lei Mingkai had already grabbed it and tried to take Lux towards the rear compartment, where the escape capsule was stored.

"Be careful! Grenade!!"

After not taking a few steps, Lei Mingkai suddenly turned around with the exclamation of the bodyguards, and Lux, who could not react in the future, blocked him.

"boom!"

The next second, a roaring explosion swept across.

The pungent smell of gunpowder, the hearing that was stunned by the explosion and only listening to the buzzing noise, and the bright red that floated in front of the eyes under the microgravity, all deeply stimulated Lacus's sensory nerves .

"go!"

In the buzzing sound, Lux seemed to hear Lei Mingkai's voice.

While raising her gaze, Lux saw a trace of blood on Lei Mingkai's mouth.

Under Lux's gaze, Lei Mingkai just raised his hand lightly, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, pulled Lux ​​again, and continued to walk towards the rear compartment.

As he left, Lacus turned her head subconsciously, looked behind her, and saw the bodyguards slumped to the ground. Among them, some of them were barely able to move, but the bloody bodyguards shouted loudly. Shouting.

"Miss Lux! Don't worry about us! Come with your Excellency Lei Mingkai!"

"Da da da!"

The gunfire continued.

Even if Lei Mingkai took Lux to leave the passage that had become a battlefield, she could still hear the sound of death mixed with buzzing and gunfire.

Lacus gritted her teeth and tried to shake off Lei Mingkai's hand, but she failed to do so.

"Sorry! Miss Lux. The opponent is not an opponent who can impress with words. They came prepared."

Lei Mingkai, who was walking in the front, felt Lux's resistance, and naturally understood what Lux' wanted to do.

"Yes, but..."

The humming in Lacus' ears gradually faded, but the gunshots became clearer.

"Be careful!"

Suddenly, Lux's eyes went dark, but Lei Mingkai was pushed into the side channel.

"Da da da da!"

A burst of gunfire roared past.

Enemies also appeared in the passage leading to the rear cabin.

Seeing the wound on Lei Mingkai's arm by the bullet accidentally, Lacus finally accepted the facts before her.

The attacker came to take her life!

Lei Mingkai's brows were tightly locked, one hand protected Lux, and the other hand took out a pistol from his waist. After knocking down the attacker who rushed to the middle of the passage, he ran into another passage with Lux.

Fortunately, when the Silverwind set sail, Lei Mingkai forced himself to memorize the various escape routes of the spacecraft.

Although Lei Mingkai didn't know how much he could record, Lei Mingkai was grateful for the current situation.

Even in terms of firepower, Lei Mingkai was far behind the attackers who came prepared, but for his familiarity with the ship, Lei Mingkai had a slight advantage over these attackers.

"boom!"

A fierce vibration swept across, and shook Lacus who had been careless for a while.

Fortunately, Lei Mingkai, who reacted in time, made a mistake and used himself as a mat to block Lacusi's body to protect him from being hit by the cold wall.

"Lax, we must get to the escape pod immediately. I'm afraid the other party will use heavy firepower!"

Nephrite was in his arms, but Lei Mingkai was sober.

The Silver Wind would have such a fierce shaking, and the reason that swept the entire ship was probably due to the heavy firepower used by the attackers.

Lei Mingkai's guess is correct.

But, in fact, there is some discrepancy with Lei Mingkai's guess.

The attacker used heavy firepower.

but,

The heavy firepower of the attacker is not a weapon like RPG.

But...

A figure chanting the slogan "Give me the power to innovate the world", with the shots of the bodyguards, rushed into the passageway that the bodyguards had always guarded.

then···

A terrible explosion broke out.

Amid the roar, the hull of the Silverwind was also blasted open. The momentary unbalanced air pressure sucked the bodyguards and some of the attackers into the void, which became the end of the blockade.

In the vibrations that came from time to time, Lacus saw Lei Mingkai leading the way and carefully observed the surrounding Lei Mingkai, but did not speak.

Now, she knew that all she could do was to keep quiet and follow Lei Mingkai closely until the sudden attack ended and the moment safety arrived.

In the empty passage, several figures passed quickly, seeming to be searching for the traces of Lei Mingkai and Lux.

"Passed. Lux, go here!"

Lei Mingkai breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the figure disappearing at the end of the passage.

As long as you pass the passageway in front of you, it is the location of the escape pod.

"Well, let's go!"

The next action went smoothly.

It seems that because the attackers have searched this area, they will not return here again in a short time.

This also gave Lei Mingkai and Luxe the opportunity to evacuate.

"Lax, you go in first! I'll come back later!"

Originally, Lei Mingkai wanted to follow Lacus into the escape pod.

But when he saw his red sleeves accidentally, he stopped.

"Lei Mingkai. You..."

Lacus was taken aback, and then he thought of Lei Mingkai might stay behind like those bodyguards.

Lei Mingkai smiled slightly and shook his head.

"No! Lux. I'll be there soon."

After that, Lei Mingkai turned around and tugged forcefully, tearing the red uniform that he was wearing, representing the elite Zaft pilot, and putting it on the clothes that floated to his side, not knowing who it was.

If you continue to wear this Zaft red dress, Lei Mingkai will probably be locked up by Cruzer's scared Archangel group.

and···

After getting dressed, Lei Mingkai took out the star, moon and sun trinity pendant from the red pocket.

"Perhaps, it is necessary to let Lacus disguise it too!"

"DaDaDa!"

At this time, a mess of footsteps came from the end of the passage.

It's the attacker!

"Found it!"

When Lei Mingkai heard the footsteps, he didn't dare to neglect, so he turned over. In Lux's grateful eyes, Lei Mingkai returned to the escape cabin and raised his hand to close the cabin door.

But before Lei Mingkai and Lux ​​were fortunate, a more intense and terrifying shock swept through.

In an instant, the escape cabin was turned upside down.

In order to prevent Lux from hitting her head and bleeding, Lei Mingkai once again pulled Lux ​​into his arms and protected him firmly.

But the outside of the escape capsule has become a sea of ​​flames.

It was a scene like hell.

Not long ago, the Silverwind, which served as the memorial ship for the Scarlet Valentine's Day incident, exploded.

In the turbulent sea of ​​fire that tore the hull apart, this spaceship that should have comforted the undead has become a sad new member of this PLANT.

The tumbling sea of ​​fire and the explosive energy that tore everything is dragging this ship and the humans still in it, regardless of camp or identity, into the hell that will never be restored.

"Didididididi..."

Amid the harsh and rapid warning sound, Lei Mingkai, who slowly opened his eyes, saw a flash of red light.

"hiss!"

I just wanted to reach out to turn off the warning system, but was stopped by a burst of pain.

"Lei Mingkai, are you okay!"

In the twinkling red light, Lacus raised her head and looked at Lei Mingkai's frowning brows, then looked back at Lei Mingkai. He was dressed in casual clothes, and his sleeves were still stained with scars. .

"No. It's okay! It's just some skin trauma. Lux, you changed your position a bit. I want to see the state of the escape pod."

Lei Mingkai shook his head, motioned to Lux and him to switch positions, raised his hand to turn off the alarm system of the escape capsule.

After checking it out, Lei Mingkai felt lucky.

Except for the lighting system, all other systems in the escape capsule are intact.

However, this situation is not lucky right now.

Because, among the numerous wrecks separated from Junius 7 in the escape capsule, the rescue light system whose location was known to the outside world has been damaged.

After losing this fairly safe method of seeking help, Lei Mingkai and Lacus had a risky method of seeking help.

That is to actively turn on the signal for help to let the outside world know the location of the escape pod, so that Lei Mingkai and Lux ​​can be saved.

however···

At this moment, Lei Mingkai had no way of knowing the situation outside the escape capsule.

"Silverwind may have encountered an accident."

Lux said quietly.

Lei Mingkai nodded silently.

"Then, everything is up to you! Lei Mingkai."

What Lei Mingkai did not expect was that Lux's decision was so rapid.

At the next moment when he realized that the Silverwind had encountered an accident, Lacus actually handed all his personal safety to Lei Mingkai.

"This is the Silverwind! Ruth calls Miss Lux! Ruth calls Miss Lux!! Please answer if you receive it!!"

Before Lei Mingkai gave a response, a newsletter from an international public channel suddenly sounded.

"It's Ruth! Is she okay?"

Lacus exclaimed, subconsciously trying to reach out and press the communication button, but Lei Mingkai caught his hand.

Lei Mingkai did not speak, but shook his head solemnly, his eyes full of alert.

Upon seeing this, Lux hesitated, but still withdrew his right hand and looked at Lei Mingkai quietly.

As she said just now, everything is left to Lei Mingkai.

Although it was impulsive to give the other party a response, Lacus, who had calmed down, already understood that her behavior was a bit reckless.

"Tsk! Kay, you save a lot of worry this time!"

Lux did not know.

The reason why Lei Mingkai tried to stop Lux just now was because a voice suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Zero. Where are you now? Can you come?"

"No way! The previous MDE bomb caused me serious injuries. Being able to chat with you now is the limit I can currently do."

The zero voice of the white cat echoed in Lei Mingkai's mind for a long time.

"By the way, there is a group of people staring at you now. Don't answer! As for when to ask for help, let me come!"

"Understood! Leave it to you! Zero formula."

Although White Cat Zero cannot provide support, being able to see the situation outside is already the biggest help.

"Yeah. You still think about how to help your little princess hide her identity? Almost all the people around here are your enemies, aren't they?"

The white cat's zero prompt sound gradually left, and Lei Mingkai subconsciously took the pendant in his hand.

"Lux, I will lend you this pendant temporarily."

Lacus looked over and found that Lei Mingkai had an extra pendant with stars, moon, and sun.

"this is?"

"This is a pendant with magic!"

In 1971, 18:00 on February 2nd.

A sudden emergency message put all the patrol fleets stationed in the PLANT home area into the highest alert state.

At the same time, a small white spacecraft with the highest priority communication identification code issued by Zaft headquarters quickly crossed the re-adjusted line of defense and slid silently into the capital of PLANT-April City. .

When the hurried running sounded from the door of the hospital, a red figure knocked down three carts one after another. After four medical staff, they finally came to a room guarded by many soldiers, with the PLANT standing at the door. The ward of two powerful men, Patrick Sara and Sigel Klein.

"You are here! Aslan. Lacus was seriously injured by the assassination unit sent by the Earth Alliance. The Silverwind, including our compatriot Lei Mingkai, has died with the combined assassination force in order to protect Lacus."

Standing in front of the ward, looking at his gasping son, Patrick Sarah, with a grim expression, told an amazing fact!!
