Gundam Super G Universe

Chapter 127: Camus's increasingly unstable mind

On the battlefield between AEUG and Neo Zeon, although AEUG is at a disadvantage in terms of the number of MS, as the Gundam team tears through the opponent's defenses, the balance of the war is constantly tilting towards AEUG.

Even Haman, who came later to check and fill in the gaps, was suppressed by the Z Gundam and the Hyaku-Shiki. With Kamille's new type abilities, he would be overwhelmed when encountering something like the floater for the first time, but after Char's support, Kamille regained his battle rhythm and learned how to deal with the floater in just a few minutes.

Haman was under tremendous pressure facing the combination of Camus and Char. The other pilots of Neo Zeon were not even qualified to participate in this battle, and they had already been stopped by the troops led by Gundam MKⅡ.

Just when Red led the Psycho Gundam Mk-II to the AEUG fleet, Haman was still at a disadvantage, and Kabini's left shoulder armor was damaged by the Z Gundam's double-mounted grenade launcher on the wrist.

However, this was the extent of Camus and Char's victory in this battle, as they soon received news that a fire had broken out in the backyard.

When Captain Bradley informed the front that the black and gold Gundam, which had been confirmed to be the true form of the "Ghost", rushed into the rear fleet with the super-giant MS of the Titans and urgently needed support, Char said to Camus without hesitation:

"Camus, retreat. The Ghost's performance is very restraining to battleships. We must find it, otherwise no matter how many battleships we have, the Ghost will not be enough to fight."

In fact, Camus can now guess who is driving the [Ghost]. After all, when Harman went to the Argama to negotiate, Camus, who was leading the way, saw Red enter the Mysterious Thunder.

So Camus immediately said in the internal communication
"A black and gold machine? This is Red Isaac's machine! Is he the Ghost?"

Honestly, Char wasn't surprised at all when he heard that the Ghost was piloted by Red. There was no sense of incongruity at all for the captain of a secret force to be equipped with a machine that could turn invisible.

So Char fired a beam rifle to force the Qabini back and said anxiously:
"If it's Red Isaac, we have to go back. His strength cannot be underestimated. If we're too late, the fleet will be gone."

In fact, Char's judgment was correct. Although Brad ordered all ships to open their defensive machine guns for defense, if the Secret Thunder could really be stopped by this level of barrage, Red might as well dismantle the machine and sell it as scrap metal.

No matter which universe the ship's machine gun protection is in, there must be blind spots, such as in front of the various main guns, directly above the bridge, and at the rear engine.

Therefore, Red only needs to float to the blind spot, and then a beam cannon can blow up the bridge.

Although the beam cannon would expose his position briefly, Red could now fire a shot and immediately leave to move to another place, so the AEUG fleet could do nothing to Red.

AEUG would definitely not prepare shotgun missiles, which are specifically designed to target the Mirage system and are almost ineffective against ordinary MS.

By the time AEUG's ships turned their firepower to cover the exposed point of Red, the Mysterious Thunder had already drifted away.

Moreover, there is a Psycho Gundam Mk-II in AEUG's fleet that is causing havoc in Heaven, and Rosamia Badam has gone so crazy that she uses the wire-guided beam sword on her wrist to cut up battleships and uses the wreckage as rocks to throw at other ships.

This brutal behavior and the existence of the mysterious Thunder put tremendous pressure on the surviving crew of the AEUG ship.

Because it is like seeing a murderer on the street and knowing that there is an invisible assassin hiding beside him, but you have no good way to deal with the murderer, nor can you find the invisible assassin, and you can't run away. You can only watch them kill you one by one until it is your turn.

Therefore, by the time the MS force in front of AEUG came back, AEUG's fleet had almost lost half of its troops. This was even when Red wanted to retain some of AEUG's strength and did not go all out to kill.

After the AEUG MS came back, the first thing it naturally looked for was Red.

It's a pity that when Red saw that the AEUG's front troops were about to return, he immediately flew towards the small meteorite belt arranged around the AEUG's fleet. After all, Camus and Char could directly sense his presence at a certain distance. The mirage system was useless to them, and Red's own existence would expose his position.

Red chose this meteorite belt to hide because the AEUG placed many fake meteorite balloons to increase the density of meteorites and prevent the enemy from sneaking around and attacking from behind. When a MS enters this place, it will float around when locked, and it may hit a real meteorite if it is not careful.

But this was not a problem for Red. He found a real meteorite, poked out the head of the Mystical Thunder with the Mirage System, and began to observe the battlefield on the Augu side.

At this time, the meteorite camouflage balloon of the AEUG will become a cover for Red, because this place is already away from the AEUG fleet, and there is a long distance, so no MS will venture in to search here.

So after repeatedly searching for Red in vain, the Gundam team can only deal with the Psycho Gundam Mk-II first.

AEUG's Rem was simply giving away his life when attacking the Psycho Gundam Mk-II. By the time the Gundam team was looking for Red, more than a dozen MS had already died under the fire of the Psycho Gundam Mk-II.

However, after Camus approached the Psycho Gundam Mk-II, he immediately sensed who was inside.

He was unwilling to shout with Rosamia Badam instinctively using his mental power.

"Rosa Mia, stop it!! I'm Camus, stop it now!!"

Camus' spirit was so strong that the voice was transmitted directly into Rosamia's brain. Then Rosamia's cleansed memory began to revive. She cried loudly in the cockpit, and sometimes she whispered gently, and sometimes she screamed in pain like a patient in the late stage of schizophrenia.
“Camus? My brother!…Ah!!! My brother is dead!!…I want revenge!! But Camus is also a brother??? Ahhhhhh!!!”

Rosamia's pain was transmitted to everyone close to her, and anyone with a slightly developed mental perception could hear it.

Combined with the fact that Camus just yelled without turning off the team voice chat, no one knew what to do next.

Fortunately, when Rosamia screamed in pain, the Psycho Gundam Mk-II stopped moving, so the other members of the Gundam team did not shoot.

Seeing that his call was effective, Camus immediately contacted the Argama and said,
"Captain, please don't attack Rosamia. Give me some time. I can talk her out."

Rosamia had been on the Argama for a while, so Brado knew her. Brado also knew that Camus was kind-hearted. If he killed Rosamia now, it might add another scar to his war-torn heart. So he answered:
"Okay, Kamille, but if this giant MS attacks again, we must shoot it down."

Upon hearing this, Kamille agreed immediately, and then flew to the head of the Psycho Gundam Mk-II (the cockpit was in the head, and Kamille had fought the previous generation of Psycho Gundam, so he knew it). He placed the Z Gundam's hand on the head of the Psycho Gundam Mk-II so that his voice could be transmitted into the cockpit, and then called out:

"Yes, Rosamia, I'm Camus, I'm your brother, please get out of this machine. Don't stay in it any longer."

Camus' original intention was to persuade Rosamia to come out, but his actions actually only made the already confused Rosamia break her last string.

Rosamia's head was about to explode at this time. She couldn't understand why she clearly only had one brother, but now in her memory she had a living brother and a dead brother.

Due to long-term brainwashing, Rosamia's mentality is like that of a child. Faced with great pain and confusion, her first reaction is to run away.

So Rosamia's response to Camus' call is
"Camus...Brother!!...Ah! Don't come over here!!!"

After that, the Psycho Gundam Mk-II restarted and began to randomly fire its Mega Particle Cannons around to prevent others from approaching. Then it turned on the thrusters to the maximum and rushed straight in a random direction. For Rosamia, it was enough to get away from the Z Gundam that was causing her pain.

Rosamia's behavior scared the AEUGs, but before they could fight back, they saw the Psycho Gundam Mk-II rushing towards the small meteorite belt.

During this period, two unlucky battleships were affected by the MEGA particle cannon of the Psycho Gundam Mk-II. Although they did not explode on the spot, they began to smoke and were about to sink.

Camus looked at the Psycho Gundam Mk-II going away, and suddenly he had a vision of Phoenix's soul on the Psycho Gundam Mk-II (Phoenix could be said to be Camus' first love, the pilot of the Psycho Gundam, who died to send Camus back to space).

Camus simply murmured "Phoenix" and then ignored everything and directly transformed into a surfer form and chased after the Psycho Gundam Mk-II.

At this time, he turned a deaf ear to Char and Brad's calls for Camus to come back. Brad was speechless, but since he brought Amuro and Camus out from Zero, he was already a little used to these new human pilots not listening to orders and acting on their own. He could only turn off the communication and complain.

"Really? One by one, why are they all like this!!"

However, after complaining, Brad had to continue to perform his duties as a battlefield commander. He ordered the MS troops:

"Hua, go and bring Camus back. Everyone else, search the fleet again. I have a feeling the ghost is still here."

At this time, Red said that he was just enjoying the show, but then something unexpected happened.

Originally, Red had given up on recovering the Psycho Gundam Mk-II. Anyway, this thing was only useful for clearing out miscellaneous soldiers. It would be just a target against an expert.

Moreover, the pilot of this machine needs mental strength higher than that of ordinary people. Basically, non-enhanced humans and new humans cannot pilot it. The same goes for CE adjusters. The mental strength of them, as high-level natural humans, is simply not enough to control the Psychic Gundam Mk-II.

Therefore, Red thought that it would be better to give up this machine, since his tactical goal had been achieved anyway.

As a result, the Psycho Gundam Mk-II inexplicably crashed into his position.

And Rosamia obviously didn't notice Red, her body crashed directly into the other side of the meteorite where Red was. Then the body seemed to have malfunctioned after being hit so roughly, and it barely turned over on the meteorite and couldn't move.

Then Red saw the Z Gundam rushing over as well.

Now Red could no longer hide. As soon as the Z Gundam approached the meteorite where Red was, it sensed Red's presence, but at this time he had lost contact with the fleet due to the high concentration of Minovsky particles.

Red knew that he could not hide from Camus, so he directly deactivated the Mirage System and appeared from behind the meteorite, confronting the Z Gundam.

However, Red's appearance caused Rosamia's spirit, which had been slightly stabilized by the collision, to go berserk again. She roared in the cockpit:

"Ah! The machine that killed my brother will kill you! Kill you!"

But at this time, the Psycho Gundam Mk-II was already overwhelmed, and no matter how hard Rosamia pulled the joystick, the body could not move.

However, the MEGA particle cannon on its body was still working. After Rosamia pressed it randomly, it fired indiscriminately at the Secret Thunder and Z Gundam.

It's a pity that this kind of attack is impossible to take down Red.

Seeing that the Psycho Gundam Mk-II still had its guns usable, Red frowned slightly and prepared to deal with Rosamia first and end her suffering in this life.

So after dodging the MEGA particle cannon, he rushed directly to the head of the Psycho Gundam Mk-II and stabbed it straight down with the thermal knife.

Camus screamed when he saw this.
"Don't hurt Feng!!"

He controlled the Z Gundam and rushed towards the Immortal Thunder Blade. At the last moment, he used the beam sword to deflect Red's downward thrust. However, because the machine rushed too hard, it was hit by a meteorite in the face.

However, Camus' efforts only prevented Rosamia from dying immediately. The thermal saber still cut off one-third of the head of the Psycho Gundam Mk-II, revealing the circular cockpit inside.

Just as Red was about to attack again and see if there was a chance to shoot down the Z Gundam.

Hua arrived in the MSA-005 Metas. Without saying a word, she shot at the Secret Thunder with the Metas' forearm beam gun.

Red was forced to dodge. Although the beams fired by Metas' two "small water pipes" were notoriously weak, they were beam weapons after all, and Red didn't want to be injured by Metas in the first hit of Secret Thunder. And it would be embarrassing if he was hit in the vitals and flipped over.

However, Red is not someone who won’t fight back if he gets hit, and as long as you’re an enemy, he doesn’t care if you’re the heroine of the plot or not.

Secret Thunder turned around and pounced on Metas, slashing at the cockpit with the thermal energy knife.

Fortunately, Camus sensed Red's murderous intent towards Hana, and as if possessed by a god, he directly controlled the Z Gundam with a turn of his wrist, almost bending his arm backwards, and shot at the Mystic Thunder in the back.

Naturally, Red sensed Camus' murderous intent at the first moment, and he dodged the attack by turning sideways as if he had eyes on his back.

Although this would not allow him to cut down Metas' cockpit, Red's hair stood on end as he looked at the Z Gundam, whose body seemed to be glowing red.

He quickly controlled the Secret Thunder to move behind Metas, and chopped him into a human stick with two swords.

Metas' body fell straight to the side of the Psycho Gundam Mk-II. Red manipulated the Secret Thunder with his left hand, pointing a knife at Metas' cockpit, and pointed the twin beam guns in his right hand at the exposed cockpit of the Psycho Gundam Mk-II.

Then, looking at the completely unscientific Z Gundam that had gathered soul power, he slowly stood up and said via laser communication.
"Camus, are you sure you want to fight me now?"

Camus looked at the hostage in Red's hand and said that his wife and "ex-wife" (he had completely confused Rosamia and Feng) were both in his hands, so what was the point of fighting?

However, Camus did not naively put down his weapon, but used the FXA-03M2 high-energy MEGA particle cannon to target the mysterious thunderbolt.
"Mr. Reid, what do you want?"

The one who came and looked at the glowing Z Gundam said that he didn't want to fight Camus in this form alone, and said

"Simple. You take the person away and the body belongs to me."

When Camus heard this, he thought it was no problem. These two broken machines were no match for humans. And just like Red could see the light of the Lambda Drive, Camus could now see the colorful light of the mysterious Thunderbolt. It was obvious that it was not easy to deal with, so he immediately replied.
"Deal, Mr. Red, you put down your weapon first."

Reid just smiled and said
"Camus, you're overthinking it. You should put down your weapon first. I'm the one with the upper hand now."

Seeing this, Camus gritted his teeth and threw the FXA-03M2 high-energy MEGA particle cannon in the Z Gundam's hand directly to the ground.

Red was not going to use any tricks this time. Even if Camus in this form had no weapons, he could still control Z to kill him headfirst. There was really no need to take the risk at this time. He let Paptimus Scirocco experience this move, so he also took back the high-heat saber.

Seeing that Red kept his promise, Camus's killing intent was greatly reduced, and the red light covering the Z Gundam gradually disappeared.

Seeing this, Red moved his machine to the side of the head of the Psycho-Resonance Gundam Mk-II and used the Lambda Drive to dig out the cockpit in its head. He ignored Rosamia's impotent rage in the cockpit and handed it to the Z Gundam.
"Camus, just take the cockpit back. The woman inside is mentally unstable, I suggest you go back and give her a sedative first."

Camus is indeed a good boy. Seeing Redken speak well, he took over the cockpit and thanked him politely.
"Thank you Mr. Reid, I'm leaving now."

After saying that, he held the cockpit in one hand and Metas' body in the other and flew directly away from the meteorite.

When Red saw that the Z Gundam had left, he directly ordered the system to recover the Psycho Gundam Mk-II and quickly detour back to the Neo Zeon Army.
