Plunder the Heavens from American Comics

Chapter 10: Defeat Cruze

Seeing Jonathan driving the Strike Gundam equipped with a Vulcan cannon backpack, Mariu ran over immediately.

To Jonathan, "Jonathan Lee! What are you doing?"

But before Jonathan could answer, the explosion in the sky and the appearance of a Gene stunned Mariu.

Could it be that he activated the Gundam in advance because he foresaw the enemy's appearance?

In addition to the Jean driven by Cruze, the Mobius Zero driven by Mu La Flag also flew out from the explosion.

The two of them discovered the GAT-X105 Strike Gundam on the ground at the same time.

"Oh~ That's it!" Seeing this, Cruze flew towards the Strike Gundam in his air combat type Zeon.

As a pilot of the Earth Forces, Mu La Flagg naturally could not just watch Cruze destroy the Strike Gundam.

Without thinking, he started fighting with Cruze in his Zero fighter.

But unfortunately, Cruze was the better one in the end and cut off the main weapon of the Zero fighter with his Zeon sword.

The Zero fighter, having lost its combat effectiveness, naturally could not continue to cover the Strike Gundam.

After dealing with the Zero Fighter, Cruze's next target is naturally the Strike Gundam.

But before he could switch weapons, a storm of bullets came at him.

I saw the machine gun on the shoulder of the Strike Gundam on the ground spinning wildly, and metal bullets continuously pouring towards Zeon in the sky.

Jonathan, who knew the plot in advance, naturally would not be like Kira, who waited until the opponent got close to him before counterattacking.

When he saw Cruze, he had already started aiming at him. Seeing him rushing towards him, how could he waste such a good opportunity!

But unfortunately, the battle-hardened Cruze quickly dodged Jonathan's attack.

Seeing the Strike Gundam's movements, Cruze couldn't help but become interested in its pilot.

As he dodged, a huge explosion was heard, and a big hole was suddenly blown out in a mountain somewhere in Heliopolis.

In the rolling dust and smoke, the Archangel slowly flew out.

Seeing the Archangel, Mari was very happy. Only at this moment did she truly believe Jonathan's information.

However, before he could be happy for two seconds, Cruze came back and prepared to use reinforced armor-piercing bullets to continue attacking the Strike Gundam.

Of the five G-series Gundams, four are already in the hands of the ZAFT Army. As for the last one, since they can't get it, they'll just destroy it!

Cruze thought so in his heart.

Unfortunately, although his idea was good, Jonathan was more adaptable to the rhythm of the battlefield than Kira, and waited for Cruze to fly towards him for the second time.

Jonathan acted decisively and fired the missile in his shoulder cannon without hesitation.

Looking at the tracking missile flying towards him, Cruze made an unpleasant sound and dodged the missile, but this action also made him lose the shooting angle.

Later, the Archangel's attack also joined in.

Seeing the firepower around him getting stronger and stronger, Cruze knew that his goal of shooting down the Strike Gundam could not be achieved this time.

Looking at the Strike Gundam with a bit of reluctance, Cruze had no choice but to retreat.

Compared to Kira's recklessness, which caused a hole in Heliopolis, Jonathan's attack on Cruze can be said to have reduced the damage to the minimum. Although the life and death of the people on this colony satellite of Orb has nothing to do with him.

But Jonathan’s principle is to save if possible and not force if not possible.

After the danger was resolved, the Archangel landed on the ground just like in the original plot.

Jonathan controlled the Strike Gundam and boarded the Archangel.

Also traveling with them were Malu and Kira's five-member group.

Because Jonathan intercepted him, Kira still doesn't know about his talent in flying Gundam.

So he successfully blended in with Sai and others.

On the tarmac, after Jonathan got off the Strike Gundam, he saw a short-haired beauty wearing Earth Army uniform.

She has black hair and a very tight-fitting Earth Army uniform, making her look very capable.

Her heroic eyebrows give her a unique charm compared to other women.

Seeing that the person coming down from the Strike Gundam was not wearing the uniform of the Earth Army, Baki Lulu looked at Maru and asked in confusion, "Captain Lamias, what is this?"

Obviously, Baki Lulu, who was born in a military family, is very concerned about the fact that the driver of the Earth Army's top-secret machine is not from the Earth Army.

If her military rank was not higher than Malu's, she would have ordered the arrest of Jonathan immediately.

Listening to Bakilulu's question, Maru looked at Jonathan with a complicated expression.

"Oh, I didn't expect that." A blond curly-haired man in a purple driving suit walked over from the inside of the tarmac.

He came to Malu, saluted her, and said, "Earth Army, Seventh Orbital Fleet, Captain Mu-La-Flag, please give me your guidance."

When others saw him saluting, they subconsciously returned the salute.

Maru and Bakilulu also introduced their affiliations and military ranks to each other.

"I want a permit to board the ship. Who is the person in charge of this ship?" Mu La Flag asked the two men.

Listening to Mu La Flagg's question, Baki Lulu was a little sad for a moment, and then said, "The captain and the main officers were all killed in the battle, so the current person in charge is Captain Ramias."

"The only survivors were the junior petty officers and a dozen other people on the ship. I was in the main shaft room and had a lucky escape."

Since he had already learned the news from Jonathan in advance, Malu was not too shocked.

Hearing this news, Mu La Flagg said with a headache, "Hey, what's the big deal?"

After sighing for a while, he looked at Malu and said, "Anyway...get me a permit first. Captain Ramias. The ship I came on was also sunk."

Since he had just become the acting captain, Malu was still a little uncomfortable. When he heard Mu La Flagg asking him for permission to board the ship, he was stunned for a long time before saying, "Ah, OK. You are allowed to board the ship."

After getting permission to board the ship, Mu La Flag breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Jonathan who was driving the Strike Gundam and asked, "By the way, who's that over there?"

Since she didn't know Jonathan's identity, Maru was speechless for a moment. She could only say, "I don't know his specific identity, but the person who just drove the Strike Gundam was him."

Then Malu told about Jonathan's record of defeating a Gene.

This was a bit shocking to Baki Lulu and the others.
