Gundam, Gravity Elegy

Suddenly, when Shenwei looked up, he saw the churning behemoth—two missiles, each the size of a small ship, tumbling downwards.

What's inside?

No, it should be said that whatever is inside will not affect its destructive power.

Once it hits, it will affect both warships and areas within a radius of several kilometers.

"Run!"

He roared loudly, but the sound failed to travel out of the machine.

The M warhead continues to affect the environment; the high concentration of particles spontaneously combine and arrange themselves, acting as a barrier to completely block the MS's communication band.

Even though we've already boarded the MS, the current situation is exactly the same as what happened at the Sphinx Base.

Not only were they powerless to fight back, but they also faced a life-threatening crisis once again—but this time, no one could help them.

Is nobody here...?

'Buzz buzz buzz buzz'

Just as Kamina's heart sank into the abyss, the faintly echoing engine roar was like a giant blower, stirring up the stagnant water that was destined to remain still.

'Boom dong dong'

As they drew closer, a fierce arc of light flashed, piercing through both anti-ship missiles.

"Wait, who's that?"

The optical sensor quickly captured the scene. At the edge of the sky, under the sunlight, they could clearly see the dark steel shadow leaping from the auxiliary aircraft and speeding across the blue sea called the sky with a roar.

V-shaped antenna, scarlet sunglasses...

"RX-78...?"

"Mission...begins."

Chapter 107: The Black Monster

"In short, that's the situation. Because the abnormally high concentration of particle fog severely hinders particle clustering, weapons like beam rifles are simply unusable."

"It doesn't matter, our current armament is sufficient."

"However, there is no balance to speak of in a gravity environment, and if you launch an attack in the air as you have in the past, your body may not be able to withstand it."

"But there is no other way now."

Meeting Ms. Lutz's gaze, which was tinged with worry, Gao Ren finally turned his head away and focused his attention on the untouched medicines.

"At least, this should last for a while."

"..."

Looking at the boy's calm expression, Ms. Lutz finally closed her eyes.

She didn't say anything more, she just reached out and manipulated the tablet in her hand.

Immediately afterwards, the two Harlows who had been rolling around in the hangar began to respond:

"Understand - the mission is to understand Hello."

Then, the two spherical robots, one black and one white, held hands and dragged the bag of medicine step by step up the maintenance rack.

"When did black things start getting tampered with?"

"I added it because it's very suitable as an assistant. I also adjusted the built-in AI."

"Really? Ms. Lutz is amazing."

That's what he said when he took the bag of medicine and syringes from Harlow.

Unfortunately, the woman was unable to respond in time.

In the end, the oppressive atmosphere only made the boy obediently lower his head.

"Feel sorry--"

That's what he said.

But in reality, he was never the one who should apologize, at least from Metz Lutz's perspective.

This boy named Gao Ren was only a year older than her son, and he shouldn't have been in this chaotic place in the first place.

He should not bear those so-called honors and expectations, should not become the object of propaganda by certain politicians and high-ranking officials, and should not become their 'sword'.

but……

"I have no choice."

'Crack'

As he spoke, he took off his anti-G suit, injected the pre-planned medication into his arm, and then began to gulp down the unidentified military drugs from the medicine box.

The action was so fast that no one could even refute it.

"There's really no need to work so hard—"

So much so that words like these have lost all meaning.

and so……

Be careful.

…………

'Boom'

Under the combined force of Earth's gravity and the fully charged six-jet propulsion, the jet-black mobile suit leaped through the sky.

That action was definitely not flying—after disengaging from the flight pedals, modern mobile suits do not possess the ability to fly at all.

However, that hovering, that erratic trajectory, ultimately transformed into the mournful cry of the motor cruiser:

"Enemy mobile suits are rapidly approaching!"

"Deploy the artillery and shoot this guy down!"

With a roar from the bridge, the entire mobile cruiser deployed its full range of close-in weaponry.

Four bow-mounted particle cannons, close-in weapon systems covering the entire body, plus mobile suits operating in coordination—

"Zanzibar's air defenses are flawless!"

But then, that black shattered that preconceived notion.

"This guy is actually...swimming?"

For the Zeonians on the bridge, and even for Jacobius, who was supposed to be on guard duty, the only word that seemed to describe the scene before them was this.

Amidst the barrage of beams and machine gun fire, the black mobile suit moved freely, seemingly dodging the deadly flashes of light.

"But you are ultimately falling."

If I had to explain why...

"This is Earth!"

Although Jacobius never imagined that such words could come from his own mouth as a resident of the universe.

But it is true—the Earth has gravity, and neither the Federation nor Zeon has developed a mobile suit that can defy gravity and fly through the air.

"You want to attack Zanzibar directly..."

Without relying on the Zaku's built-in fire control lock, the Zaku pilot, with the scope already set up, pulled the trigger like a true sniper.

'boom'

The cannon fired, and armor-piercing grenades surged toward the heavily armed black warriors with the speed of a sniper shot.

then……

'Boom'

The machine suddenly lay flat.

Without relying on the fire control alarm or even turning around, Jacobius saw the six distinctive nozzles suddenly unleash their power.

After the sudden stop in mid-air, the aircraft was suspended in mid-air in an unimaginable posture. Only after the armor-piercing grenade completely missed its target did the aircraft begin to fall due to gravity.

"What a joke!!!"

At that moment, the sniper's eyes widened in shock.

As a cosmic resident, he believed he could accomplish that action even with the help of a Zaku.

"But this is Earth!"

gravity?

Advance?

load?

Ultimately, it all transformed into a breathtaking and awe-inspiring experience.

"Is this guy really human—?"

Then, in the next moment, the answer seemed to have been found.

"Boom"

When the shadowy figure turned its head, what appeared before one's eyes was a shimmering crimson.

Holding a gun in one hand and a cannon in the other, the V-shaped antenna on his mask was incredibly clear:

"Gundam--"

The moment that name left his lips, Jacobius suddenly felt a sense of relief and realization.

An instinctive sense of unease made him subconsciously feel that something was wrong, but the physical incongruity didn't seem to matter so much anymore.

"Knock knock knock knock"

The moment the machine gun sounded its fire control alarm, Jacobius simply pulled the lever, desperately trying to get away from it.

To be honest, he had come into contact with the 'Awakening Lion' before, but neither the Guncannon nor the swift Ifrit had ever impressed anyone with the black-clad machines as much as this 'Sunglasses Machine'.

Look at that brutal movement—the machine gun in his hand was clearly following his movements, and even the machine itself was constantly falling due to the irresistible gravity.

But the machine was able to maintain a seemingly relaxed posture, with the main monitor on its head gazing at the mobile cruiser above.

Then, the missile pods on both legs were fully opened:

'Boom'

Six missiles streaked across the sky, heading straight for the cruiser.

"They're just missiles. Shoot them all down with machine guns!"

But even so...

"Drip drip drip"

The blaring alarm echoed inside the bridge, and everyone on board Zanzibar could clearly see the cannon muzzle flashing with electric arcs.

"Electromagnetic weapons?!"

'Sizzle'

'boom'

The crackling of the electric arc flashed by, and the shell hurtled straight into the face of the warship, then—it struck the missile launch port that was not yet fully closed!

"Boom!"

Flames instantly appeared on one side of Zanzibar, and various alarms echoed through the bridge along with the impact.
