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

Under the desperate resistance of the Earth Army troops on the ground, ZAFT's commandos finally landed on the ground.

Gundam's traditional performing arts have begun.

……

Rhodes drove his electric scooter into the factory.

"Heliopos has declared a state of emergency. What is the situation now?"

Rhodes jumped off the electric scooter, which had not yet stopped, and ran into the locker room.

"ZAFT has already seized three mobile suits from the Earth Army. Some of the Jinn escorted the captured mobile suits away, but some of the mobile suits are currently destroying various factories in Heliopos."

Ross took out a red and white driving suit, was silent for a moment, and put it on.

"Unfortunately, Ross, the purpose you declared for this warehouse to Orb was 'metal processing.' Apparently, ZAFT has obtained the factory layout of Heliopos, and our factory has been targeted by ZAFT."

"Take the storage unit and Harrow to the personal shelter beneath the factory, and I'll take care of the rest."

Ross put on his helmet, lowered his goggles, and ran all the way to Jegan's cockpit.

Ross narrowed his eyes and sat in the cockpit after taking a look at the unicorn logo on Jiegan's left shoulder, which was the same as the one on his left chest.

As the hatch closed, the cockpit darkened.

Ross, sitting in the cockpit, took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind.

"Sure enough, no one can be immune to this era..."

Lying on a fixed frame on the factory floor, Jegan's huge eyepiece on his head lit up with a faint blue light, like a sleeping giant suddenly awakening.

The cockpit gradually lit up, and the entire cockpit showed the scene around Jegan, and part of the UI also gradually appeared.

Ross gripped the joystick and directed Jiegang to pick up the shield and bazooka that were prepared on the fixed stand.

At this moment, the eyes of the red Haro that had been fixed on the cockpit also lit up.

"Rods, I'm already connected. I'll assist you with your operations."

Halloley, came Christina's voice.

"Have you entered your personal shelter?"

Ross was operating the screen next to him, making further fine-tuning on the Jegan.

"I've taken the storage device and the Harrows into my personal shelter. I'm safe now."

Christina leaned on Harrow and continued speaking.

"Attention, a Jinn is approaching."

"Understood, adjustments completed."

Rhodes took another deep breath and put his hands on the control stick again.

"Roz Links, Jegan, attack!"

……

Two Jinns landed near Rhodes' factory.

"This is an industrial area. Destroy all the metal parts processing factories."

"This is the price they pay for assisting the Earth Army!"

A Jinn picked up the machine gun in his hand and prepared to fire at the factories as usual.

"Let's solve this quickly, Aslan still needs our support."

"Wait...what's the sound?"

The sound of an engine running appeared in the radio of the machine.

"Wait a minute, something's wrong..."

"Boom..."

Before the two Jin Ens could react, the roof of a factory building next to them was blown off.

Then, a black shadow flew into the sky.

"What the hell..."

Before the two Jinn pilots could react, a dark shadow in the sky descended rapidly towards a Jinn.

Then, they saw the black shadow perform a flying kick in a strange posture, accurately kicking the cockpit of a Jin En.

“Aaaaaah…”

Kim Eun-ri was kicked down, and the driver screamed because of the sudden impact.

"It's an unknown mobile suit, attack!"

The other Jinn only reacted now and raised the machine gun in his hand.

The MS stepped on King who was lying on the ground and raised the bazooka in its right hand.

Rhodes sat in the cockpit and quickly set the missile's fuse type.

"Boom..."

A missile was fired from the rocket launcher and in a blink of an eye it approached Jin En who was still standing on the field.

Immediately afterwards, the proximity fuse that had been set long ago was activated, and the warhead exploded in front of Jin En's eyes. The specially designed fragments pierced Jin En's machine gun and arm.

"What? Left arm offline?!"

Jin took two steps back, trying to create some distance.

The Jie Gang in front of him did not continue to approach the retreating Jin En. Instead, he raised his leg and stomped on Jin En's head.

"Roz, Jegan's legs aren't specialized for close combat, so they're not that strong."

Christina reminded Ross, and the red eyes of Haro flashed, and the small round covers on both sides kept flapping.

"It's okay, Jegan's skeleton can withstand such impact."

For some reason, after entering combat mode, Ross subconsciously uttered a sentence.

"Besides, the legs are just for decoration. The bigwigs up there won't understand!"

"…Sorry, I don't quite understand what you're talking about. And there aren't any big shots above us."

Obviously, Christina was a little confused about what Roz suddenly said.

"It's okay, I just said it subconsciously."

Rhodes shook his head and controlled Jie Gang to jump off King, whose head monitor had been stepped on and exploded, and moved a little away from the two injured Kings by using air cushions.

"No further attack?"

"Temporarily evacuate. Our Jin En is in very poor condition. He is trying to stop us from destroying the factory area. Go back and report to Captain Cruze first."

At this moment, in the communication channels of the two Jin Ens, the two pilots were having a quick discussion. At this moment, they had just escaped death and were in a state of overwhelming desire to survive.

"Captain Cruze must be informed of this unknown mobile suit."

After deciding on the next course of action, the two crippled mobile suits staggered into the sky.

"We've repelled them for now."

Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief. He almost lost control and fired the rocket at King's cockpit.

Rhodes, who calls himself "the best bazooka user in history", likes to use bazookas with various warheads the most. In simulation training, the hit rate of rockets fired at cockpits is over 95%.

"Please don't be distracted. Several mobile suits have appeared at the intersection of the university town area and the factory area. The battle area is moving towards the factory area."

"……grass."

A quick and powerful exclamation came out of Ross's mouth subconsciously. Although it was only one word, it contained quite rich emotions.

To be honest, Ross didn't really want to come into contact with the Archangel's group.

Although Ross had thought about clinging to the Archangel, the "unsinkable ship" when he first came to this world, after being recruited by the Blue Cosmos Research Institute and seeing what Blue Cosmos did, this idea gradually faded away as things happened one after another.

It was because he felt disgusted both physically and mentally with the actions of the Blue Cosmos Research Institute, and encountered people who were equally disgusted but unable to escape, that he began to think about destroying the institute.

Although after settling the rescued people, Rhodes fell into a state of "intermittent complacency and continuous idleness" due to his own "laziness", Rhodes never forgot his promise.

"I'm such a hopeless bastard."

Cursing himself inwardly, Ross gritted his teeth and stepped on the pedal. Flames burst out of Jegan's propulsion backpack, and the machine took off and flew towards the area where the battle took place.

"When Jie first appeared, the world line had already been changed."

"The tide of the times has come. How can I stay out of it?"

No one can stay out of the torrent of the times. Recalling the past scenes, Rhodes finally made up his mind to plunge into the beginning of this torrent.

"...We will be with you, Ross."

The red Haro's eyes flickered slightly. In the personal shelter, Christina murmured while directing the Haros to prepare spare components for Jegan.

Although Christina didn't understand many of what Roz said, she knew very well that there were still some things she could do.

……

In the university town area, there were still some people on the ground who had not yet entered the public shelters and were running towards the shelters.

A blue and white mobile suit was moving along the road in a wobbly manner.

On the side, a Jinn was holding a physical long sword and continuously attacking the blue and white MS.

"...The ones fighting now are these two, the Gundam and the Gin."

Ross, who was controlling the low-altitude flight of Jegan, naturally saw the battle situation on the scene.

"Oh? The movements have changed."

Just as Ross was about to use a bazooka to separate them, the blue and white Gundam delivered a beautiful shoulder strike, sending King flying.

No matter what, the King is just a mass-produced model of ZAFT, so it is normal that it cannot compare with special models like the Gundam.

Watching the battle between the two machines expand further, and seeing several students appearing on the road who had not yet dodged, Ross controlled Jegan and raised the bazooka.

"Stop it all!"

Then, pull the trigger.

At this time, in the blue and white Gundam, one of the protagonists of the battlefield, a woman in orange work clothes and a brown-haired young man were crowded together, and the young man was busy and exhausted.

As the Earth Army's new experimental special machine, the OS that controls the machine is only a semi-finished product, which forces the young man to scramble and temporarily adjust this flawed OS.

"That should be enough!"

Driven by the desire to survive, the young man quickly completed the adjustments and controlled the body to take out two armor-piercing daggers.

Jin En also put away his sword and took out the rifle behind him.

"In a place like this... stop it!"

The young man roared and controlled the machine to run towards Jin En.

"Drip drip!"

Rapid alarms wailed, mixed with the warning blasts from King's rifle.

Then, the young man watched as a rocket exploded on the side of the two machines, and the specially forged pieces easily destroyed the daggers in the hands of the machines.

And Jin in front of him was not in much better condition. His right arm and rifle were completely destroyed by the forging pieces.

"what?!"

The young man quickly pulled up the blue and white Gundam and retreated.

Immediately afterwards, the boy and the woman squeezed in the cockpit of the blue and white Gundam saw an unknown dark blue MS, which used a movement that went against common sense to perform a flying kick at Jin in front of them.

The rocket launcher in the hands of this machine also clearly shows that the rocket just now was fired by it.

"Who are you?"

A woman in work clothes asked anxiously over the machine's public communication.

The situation was too unfavorable for them. The body had to be urgently restarted, the OS had to be temporarily repaired, and the only weapon of the body had just been lost.
