An advanced guide for experienced modelers, from building blocks to hand-building Gundams

"The ZAFT we're fighting now is no ordinary guy. Didn't you see that even though our MA pilots tried their best, they still couldn't shoot down a single Jinn?" Although the captain of the Montgomery was unwilling, he had to admit that the other side was stronger than him.

"Besides, the Aegis Gundam has already been deployed into battle."

"Damn it... being shot down by a machine that originally belonged to us... is this a murder?"

After understanding the truth, George could only accept the fact that he could not see his daughter now, and hammered the handle of the seat.

"An unknown MS has been detected! The direction is... below us?!" Everyone's heart was lifted as the radar observer suddenly exclaimed.

At this moment, a Jinn broke through the fire network and appeared in front of the bridge of the Montgomery.

Seeing Jin En raise the anti-ship rocket launcher and aim at the bridge, many people subconsciously closed their eyes.

"Close-in defense gun..." Just as the captain of the Montgomery was about to struggle.

A dark blue unknown machine suddenly appeared from the other side of the bridge, and at an extremely fast speed, it kicked away Jin En who was about to open fire.

Immediately afterwards, the unknown dark blue machine raised the beam rifle in its hand, and the beam ejected from the muzzle hit Jin En's cockpit accurately.

The debris from the Jinn explosion began to fly everywhere. After fighting for so long, a Jinn was finally destroyed.

The next second, the advance fleet's battleship "Luo" was destroyed by the Aegis Gundam using the Kraken Beast energy cannon.

"What is that?!" George couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the machine in front of him, whose design language was completely different from that of the Earth Army and ZAFT.

"Friendly forces? Where are they from?!" The captain of the Montgomery immediately came to his senses, only to see the machine in front of him make a detour, avoiding the incoming shells and flying towards the Aegis Gundam that had just destroyed a battleship.

"Cub? Just in time!" After casually destroying an MA, Aslan saw the familiar Jegan.

"Holy Shield... we meet again." Although many gun barrels were pointed at Jegan because the advance fleet did not include Jegan in the friendly forces, Ross's head had been stinging like an electric shock since he rushed into the battlefield.

However, Rhodes's consciousness did not faint from the pain, but became more and more clear.

Jegan raised the beam rifle in his hand and fired continuously at the Aegis Gundam, while relying on the scattered wreckage of the destroyed battleship for cover, he quickly approached the Aegis Gundam.

Although the Aegis Gundam was held back by Jegan, which greatly reduced the pressure on the advance fleet, the situation was still not optimistic.

"Zizizi... This is the Archangel, Montgomery, can you hear me?" After hearing the communication from the Archangel, he couldn't help but hammer the armrest of the chair.

"Stupid! Archangel, leave the battlefield immediately!"

"Zizizi... We've already dispatched our mobile suits. The dark blue mobile suits are friendly forces hired by the Archangel. Please be prepared for fire!"

"...Mark that dark blue unknown MS as a friendly force and continue fighting!" After hearing the confirmation message from the Archangel, the captain of the Montgomery breathed a sigh of relief and continued to analyze the battle situation.

"Who made that MS? I've never seen its appearance and armaments before." George, who was standing aside, looked at Jegan who was fighting with the Aegis, and was a little dazed.

"It doesn't matter if I don't know. It's probably something some mercenary repurposed from the remains of King." The Montgomery's captain continued issuing orders. "Most importantly, that unit is friendly. The battle isn't over yet. Beam Tornados 16,20,21, 3, , fire towards Area !"

……

Ross continued to control the Jegan, dragging the Aegis Gundam amidst the wreckage.

Jie Gang fired two shots, replaced the magazine which had been depleted of energy, and nimbly moved around to the side along a piece of wreckage.

Immediately afterwards, a flash of knife light appeared, and the wreckage was split apart by the Aegis Gundam like a hot knife cutting butter.

"Are you angry?"

In such a short distance, Ross's control remained perfectly intact. He repeatedly pressed and released the pedals, quickly coming to an abrupt stop before launching himself overhead, leaving the charging Aegis Gundam missing a single blow.

Just as Jie had just changed the magazine of his beam rifle and was about to continue shooting, the Aegis Gundam turned in the direction of Kankong, turned its back to the wreckage, and activated its thrusters.

At such a close distance, it was obviously too late to swing with a beam saber.

But fortunately, the end of the shield of the Aegis Gundam is a sharp horn.

As the Aegis Gundam raised its left arm and thrust forward, Ross understood that it was time to engage in close combat.

He continued to operate the pedals, constantly changing the posture of the machine. He retracted the rifle in his right hand, and stretched out his left hand with the shield installed, grabbing the horn of the shield of the Aegis Gundam.

After retreating a short distance, Jegan grabbed the shield of the Aegis Gundam and retreated in the direction of the Aegis Gundam's attack.

The next moment, the jet pack behind Jegan started to work, and the speed of being pushed away began to decrease.

Seeing this, Athrun controlled the Aegis Gundam to retract its shield, pulled Jegan towards him, and slashed forward with the beam saber extended from his right arm.

Ross pressed the joystick a few times, and saw the shield in Jegan's left hand quickly change angle. A forged rocket was fired from the shield and hit the Aegis Gundam in the face at close range.

"Boom..."

There was another familiar explosion sound. The beam saber generator on the right arm of the Aegis Gundam was destroyed, and the body's power was also greatly reduced under the bombardment of the forging plate.

But Aslan did not panic. He gritted his teeth and extended another beam saber from his right leg.

"Give Lux back...!"

Volume 17: Chapter Damn it, Char, you tricked me!

"Lacus... I see. Is this the search and rescue fleet?"

After hearing Aslan's roar on the public channel, Ross also understood the other party's intentions.

Facing the incoming beam saber, Jegan's free right hand also grabbed the shield of the Aegis Gundam. Then, with a smooth turn, Jegan performed a standard shoulder throw, throwing the Aegis Gundam away along his right shoulder.

"Damn Earth Army, can't you fight without taking hostages?" Aslan was able to become the red-clothed officer of ZAFT, so he was naturally no ordinary person. After being thrown out, the Aegis Gundam quickly adjusted its posture and continued to rush towards Jegan.

"I was originally planning to send Lacus back to the plant secretly through a scrap recycler, but you guys have complicated things now! Boy!" Jegan raised his shield and blocked the thrust of the beam saber on the left arm of the Aegis Gundam.

"Stop talking nonsense! Give Lacus back!" Aslan obviously did not believe what Ross said. He planned to defeat Ross and then hold him hostage to force the Archangel to hand over Lacus.

The Aegis Gundam quickly transformed into its MA form, its limbs transformed into claws, and it grabbed towards Ross.

Ross controlled the Jegan and quickly used his limbs to support the claws of the Aegis Gundam.

Ross pushed the joystick hard, and Jegan and the Aegis Gundam began to stalemate.

"Damn it..." Aslan pressed the joystick, and the multiple phase energy cannons of the Siren Monster that were revealed during the transformation began to emit light.

How could Ross not see such a bright light? Jegan's left arm slightly adjusted the angle of his shield, rotating it and unleashing the remaining three forged rockets at the Aegis Gundam's Siren energy cannon.

"Bang bang bang..." With the continuous explosions, the energy of the Aegis Gundam began to drop again and again. Athrun subconsciously released the clamped Jegan and turned back into MS form.

"Tsk..." Aslan gritted his teeth, took a look at the Krakenmon's multiple phase energy cannon that showed "lost signal" and the greatly reduced body energy, and controlled the Aegis Gundam to pull out the beam rifle again.

Since you may not be able to defeat the opponent in close combat, just fight from medium and long distances.

Compared to the previous crushing situation, the battlefield at this time seemed even more chaotic with the addition of Strike Gundam and Mobius Zero.

On the Sephiroth, which was still some distance away from the battlefield, although his own body had not been repaired yet, Cruze would not sit idly by.

"Main guns ready, take out the frigates first!" Looking at the video, the Montgomery was constantly targeted, causing the hull to begin to break, and the Bonnard, whose overall firepower seemed to be still in good condition, they chose to destroy the Bonnard first.

As the main gun under the Sephiroth lit up with a dazzling white light, the thick beam of light reached the battlefield almost instantly, easily melting the armor of the Bonard and detonating the battleship's reactor.

"...I've been wanting to ask this for a long time. Are all the Earth Army's warships fragile?" Ross frowned at the scene before him.

"Rods, prepare to retreat! If the fighting continues, the Archangel will be destroyed!" Just as Ross was pondering his next move, Mu's communication came through. "Just detected, at least two more ZAFT warships have joined the battle!"

"Zizizizi... This is the Earth Forces, the Archangel." Everyone paused as the Archangel's broadcast came in. "This ship is providing humanitarian assistance to Lacus Klein, daughter of Siegel Klein, Chairman of the Plant Council. We recovered her lifeboat from the wreckage of Julius 7."

"If ZAFT continues to attack, we will regard you as having given up your responsibility towards Lacus Clyne and will handle the matter ourselves." In the broadcast, Baki Lulu's expression was very serious, and behind her, Lacus looked at everything in front of her with a blank face.

"You... are so despicable. Can't we fight without using hostages?!" Athrun looked at Jegan in front of him and the Strike Gundam that had just arrived, and cursed loudly in the public channel.

Although Aslan had no feelings for Lacus, his nominal "fiancée", this hostage-taking tactic aroused his anger.

"...Athrun, stop the attack and withdraw." Cruze's order also came through the communication. Aslan had no choice but to drive the Aegis Gundam away from the battlefield in indignation.

"...This is really embarrassing. All our plans have been disrupted, Kira." Ross sighed and retracted Jegan's beam rifle.

"I think Officer George on the Montgomery is going to start getting all worked up."

……

When Ross returned to the bridge of the Archangel, he saw the "Officer George" that Mariu had mentioned, furious in the bridge.

"How could you do this?! If we could send Lacus Clyne to the lunar base, we would have more leverage and could even influence the war!"

Officer George, who looked amiable in the video, now had a gloomy face.

"You are committing treason!"

"Treason? If your decision prevents the Archangel and the Strike Gundam from being sent back to Earth, then who is committing treason?" Seeing that the bridge had reached a stalemate, Ross had no choice but to speak and change the subject.

"Who are you? Why are you on the bridge?" George was furious at this time and turned to fire at Rhodes.

"He's the pilot of that Jegan. He protected the Archangel all the way here," Malu explained Ross's identity. "He's a space scrap recycler. We hired him."

"Tsk... This is an internal meeting of the Earth Federation. All irrelevant people, get out!" George was obviously still thinking about how to convert Lux, this "political resource", into maximum benefit.

At this moment, Rhodes made a move that no one expected.

Rhodes reached out, grabbed George by the collar, and then punched George in the cheek with his right hand.

"Ouch..." George was knocked away by Rhodes and hit the railing.

Before George could come to his senses, Rhodes floated over, grabbed George's collar with both hands, and lifted him up from the railing.

"Are you thinking about some bullshit politics now? Now is a matter of life and death!" Rhodes' roar was like a bomb, exploding in George's ears.

"ZAFT has already taken four Gundams. Now only the Archangel and the Strike Gundam remain. If we don't bring them to Earth, where will the Earth Federation get the mobile suit and battleship data?!"

"We can only keep retreating strategically against the two ZAFT warships and the squadrons they carry. Now there are three warships on the opposite side!" As he spoke, Ross pulled George closer so that he could see Ross's angry eyes.

"How can we protect the Archangel? How can we fight against the elite Cruze team? The Archangel, which is undermanned and undermanned, and is being beaten back? Or the Montgomery, which is already half-destroyed and couldn't be destroyed by a single Jinn in the previous battle?"

Ross's words revealed the bloody reality to everyone. Indeed, the seemingly prosperous situation was only superficial. Although the Archangel had a large number of automatic machines to assist navigation, it was still undermanned and was beaten around by the Cruze team.

"Besides, your daughter Frey is also on the Archangel. Do you want her to follow the Archangel and die in space when the angry ZAFT blows up the battleship?" Finally, Ross's questioning made George sober up instantly and sweat broke out.

Yes, what on earth am I doing? My daughter is clearly on this battleship. If she dies, what is the point of living?

Seeing that George seemed to have calmed down, Rhodes pushed George away and let him lean against the railing.

"...What are you going to do?" George's tone was no longer as intense as before, but rather calm. "I have only one request: you must keep Fulei alive."

Although George is a blue cosmos, his love for Frey and the family affection he has in his heart are higher than the goal of blue cosmos.

"We'll find a space waste recycler to act as an intermediary for the transfer," Malu explained his original plan. "By the time the transfer is complete, we should be far enough away to be relatively safe."

"I hope so. I'll pick up Frey later." George finally realized that he had no choice and no qualifications to get involved in this matter.

He turned his head to look at Ross, his cheek burning with pain from the punch just now.

"I'll remember this punch."

……

"Ross, I've been wanting to ask this for a long time. Do you have any personality-altering martial arts that can be effective by beating someone up?" Mu joked to lighten the mood after George left the bridge to look for his precious daughter, Frey.

"Look, after being beaten by you, Fulei is now much better behaved. George was punched by you, but he has calmed down now."

"If I really had this ability, I would beat you up right now and make you, this old pervert, behave yourself."

After hearing what Mu said, Rhodes felt his fists harden, and he wanted to punch Mu, this dishonest guy.

"What? I'm a decent, reliable adult. I'm better than you. 'Kneel before me, God.'"

Mu smiled, tiptoed, and walked around Maru and Bakilulu, away from Ross.

"Don't run, I'm going to let you taste my personality correction punch now!"

Rhodes was also getting angry. It was just a joke, why bring up his dark history? He pushed the railing behind him with both hands and came up to hit Mu with his fist.

As the two funny guys made noise on the bridge, everyone who had been on edge relaxed a little.

Now, we just have to wait for the space scrap dealer contacted by Ross to come.

"Luo? How did you get here so quickly?"

Standing in the hangar, Rhodes was slightly surprised at the young man in front of him who was wearing a blue turban, brown hair combed like a Shamatte, and dressed in work clothes.
