Chereads / Infinite Stratos: Operation BLAZE / Chapter 30 - chapter 30

Chapter 30 - chapter 30

With Setsuna.

Setsuna was delivering Marina to the kingdom of Azadistan. Her country. When they got there the city was set ablaze. Fires were burning the building. Structures were destroyed.

"This is terrible!" Marina said as she saw her city be destroy.

"That machine is-!" Setsuna saw amidst the destruction a red mobile suit. It was a Throne Gundam and he knew the pilot of that machine.

"Ali Al-Saachez!"

"That's right you Krugis punk!"

Somehow Setsuna was able to escape the burning city. He quickly made his way back to the Katharon base. When he got there he saw that base was attacked. Bodies were all over the place. Marina hoped that Shirin was alright. To her delight she was fine.

Katharon had to move as much equipment as they could because this base was no longer safe. They would need a something to distract A-Laws as they moved all the available equipment. That's where celestial being offered their help.

Saji returned to the Katharon base and couldn't believe what had happen to it. He knew that this was all his fault. He selfish desired to take no part in this conflict caused all this bloodshed.

"Oh god, what have I done?"

"Saji crossroad, I have a few questions for you." Tieria said as he saw Saji.

Saji was taken aboard once more on [Ptolemaios II] for his own safety. If any members of Katharon learned of Saji's role in the base's destruction they would kill him.

The Next Day.

Sumeragi suffered a relapse of a painful memory and was currently unconscious. Without their master combat forecaster Celestial Being was left with no choice, but to perform a risky combat plan. They would lure away the nearby A-laws forces so that the members of the Katharon base could escape without fear of being attack.

"Removing [Ptolemaios II] satellite camo." Feldt said as [Ptolemaios II] was now visible to A-laws satellites and sure enough they were detected.

"15 enemy mobile suits detected." Stella said.

"Gundam Meisters please launch." Mileina said over the speakers.

"Setsuna F. Seiei, [00], Launching!"

"Tieria Erde, [Seravee], Heading out!"

"Seth Fairs, [Stargazer], Launching!"

"Hallelujah Haptism, [Arios], Launching!"

"Lockon Stratos, [Cherudim], Targeted and firing!"

The five Gundam Meisters launched from [Ptolemaios II] and saw the A-Laws enemy mobile suits. Soon the enemy mobile suits opened fire on the Gundams. Seth activated the Voiture Lumiere system on [Stargazer]'s back and absorbed the incoming beams.

The A-Laws forces broke up into their teams. There were five teams and each was tasked with hunting a Gundam down. Mr. Bushido targeted Setsuna and [00]. Soma targeted subject E-57 or Allelujah and [Arios]. Three [XIII] mobile suits targeted Seth. He easily shot the mobile suits down.

"Marie, please stop. I don't want to fight you." Allelujah said to Soma.

"Who the hell is Marie? My name is Soma Peries." Soma in her [Ahead] fired a barrage at [Arios]. Allelujah moved to avoid the shots, but he was too slow. Several of the shots hit the orange Gundam and he was left wide open. Soma took this opportunity and brought out a beam saber. She impaled [Arios], but luckily the beam saber didn't hit Allelujah or the GN drive. Allelujah now grabbed Soma.

"Hey! Let go!" Soma tried to move her [Ahead] but it wouldn't budge.

"I'll never let go of you again Marie." The two machines now began to fall towards the earth.

Meanwhile.

"Come on young man! Is this all you have for me?" Mr. Bushido was currently in a duel with Setsuna and even though the [Ahead] is much weaker than [00] he is able to push the Gundam back.

"Young man I deserved to be fought at your full strength, now fight me!" Mr. Bushido forced his way through Setsuna's defense and was about to deal a finishing move. Suddenly [00] disappeared from his sight.

"Over there!" Mr. Bushido was able to predict Setsuna's next attack and block it even with [00] being in Trans-Am. The glowing red Gundam now began a rapid barrage of attacks at the [Ahead] unit, but Mr. Bushido was able to block all of them. Setsuna was able to break Mr. Bushido's defense, but suddenly [00] lost all power. The Gundam fell into the ocean.

"What the- A burnout!" A monitor displayed [00]'s current status and showed that the GN Drives were having major mechanical issues.

"Is his machine having issues?" Mr. Bushido wondered as he now held a beam saber up to [00]. From the corner of his eye he saw something red approaching. He was able to move his beam sabers just in time to interpret his attacker.

"The white Gundam? Perhaps you could entertain me in your friends absents." Mr. Bushido said. However Seth was in no mood to entertain any of these A-Laws bastards. The GN drives on [Stargazer]'s shoulders suddenly pointed themselves at Mr. Bushido's [Ahead]. Suddenly a massive torrent of yellow GN particles blasted Mr. Bushido's [Ahead] unit sending it flying back. It was caught by a [XIII] unit.

"Mr. Bushido, its time to retreat." The man in the [XIII] said.

"What?! But I'm only just getting warmed up."

"Sir your unit is missing its arms." Mr. Bushido now just noticed that his [Ahead]'s arms were gone.

"Huh? That white Gundam pilot is good. Next time we meet white Gundam, you will duel me!" Mr. Bushido said.

"What the hell is with this guy and duels?" Seth asked.

"Seth recover Setsuna, we're pulling out of this operation." Sumeragi recently regained consciousness and couldn't believe the current situation they were in. She quickly ordered the crew to fire anti-GN particles smoke missiles to cover their escape.

"[Seravee] and [Cherudim] have docked. [00] and [Stargazer] have docked as well. Huh? I can't locate [Arios]!" Mileina said as she searched for Allelujah's Gundam, but to no avail.

"Oh no, Allelujah." Celestial being would return to search for the missing Meister once things cooled down. A-Laws' forces were ordered to retreat as well by Kati. They lost too many pilots and by her calculations things would continue to go downhill if they didn't stop.

Several Hours Later.

"Seth Fairs, [Stargazer], launching!" Seth was the first to search for Allelujah. He was flying towards the last known location of [Arios]. Soon [Stargazer] detected [Arios]. Seth decided to land a little bit away from [Arios] in case Allelujah was captured.

The young Gundam pilot jumped out of [Stargazer] and activated [B.L.A.Z.E.]. He flew until he was 300 meters away from [Arios]. He deactivated [B.L.A.Z.E.] and brought out a pistol. As he got closer to [Arios]'s location he hear some voices begin to speak.

"Please, Col. Smirnov you can't." A woman's voice said.

"Soma, he's a Gundam pilot, don't you remember how many people he's had killed." Seth saw a man pointing a pistol at Allelujah. Said pilot was protecting a girl with his body.

Col. Smirnov suddenly heard a shot and the pistol in his hand was shot. The force from the shot knocked the pistol out of his hands. Everyone turned their head to the source of the bullet and saw a boy wearing a white pilot suit, minus the helmet.

"A kid?" Col. Smirnov saw that Seth was really young.

"Huh? Seth? Wait, don't shoot!" Allelujah moved in between Seth and Smirnov.

"Allelujah move."

"No! If you kill him Marie will be sad."

"Allelujah they're monsters that kill children." Seth words instantly gained the interest of Col. Smirnov and Soma or Marie.

"What are you talking about?"

"In the last attack on Katharon, you A-Laws bastards killed a small child that was orphan by you guys. He wasn't even four years old and yet you fuckers took his life!" Seth's words were shocking to Smirnov and Marie.

"No, I didn't know-" Marie was heartbroken that she partook in that operation. Sergei was shocked at A-Laws did such a thing.

"Kid I'm not a member of A-Laws. I'm in the normal federation forces. If what you say is true then I'll make sure that A-Laws crimes are brought into light. You Gundam pilot, take soma with you I can't allow her to be part of A-Laws, however promise me one thing. Do not let her take part in combat."

"You have my word." Allelujah said. Col. Smirnov was pleased with this answer.

"Don't you dare break your promise. I'll tell that Soma Peries died in combat." Sergei was starting to leave when someone had one last thing to say.

"Wait! Soma wants to say something to you. She's thankful that you made sure that the only missions that you made her take part were against the Gundams and she wanted to be your daughter."

"Now I'm certain that you're not Soma anymore."

"Col. Smirnov!" Marie rushed to Smirnov and embraced him in a hug.

"Go on and live a good life." Smirnov said. He now left.

"Allelujah I'll be back." Seth said as he went to go get [Stargazer] to pick up the damaged [Arios]. When he returned he saw Allelujah locking lips with Marie.

Next Few Days.

Marie was taken aboard [Ptolemaios II] and Feldt had a small problem with her. She overcame it once Marie showed that she was not an enemy and only wanted to be friends. Tieria revealed that he was contacted by people who claimed to be the ones who were controlling A-Laws. They received intel telling that A-Laws would be having a ball and this could be a chance to gain information on who their true enemy was. Seth volunteered to take part in the mission. Sumeragi sent Setsuna, Tieria, and Seth to go undercover and infiltrated the ball.

"Alright how do I look."

"Wonderful Seth." Blaze said.

"Master that suit makes you look handsome." Flame said. Seth was currently wearing a black tuxedo and had his hair gel back.

"Alright time to go." Seth said as he exited his room. When he opened the door he bumped into Stella.

"Oh sorry. Huh? Stella are you alright?" Seth noticed an odd look on the blond girl's face. She was blushing heavily.

"Yeah, I'm fine! Oh ah I have to go!" Stella quickly moved away from Seth and left.

"What's with her?" Seth asked as he never saw her act like that before. He continued and met up with the other Gundam Meisters. There he received a shock of a lifetime.

"Tieria?! What the hell are you wearing?!" Seth saw the purple hair man wearing a purple dress and somehow had breast.

"Don't ask question. Also Seth you're my date for tonight."

The three of them launched in their machines and rented a car. Setsuna was to be their driver and the other two would try and gain any information on the so called 'innovators'.

At the Ball.

Tieria and Seth got into the ball with no trouble at all. To blend in the two had to make it seem like they were taking part in the dance, luckily Seth was really good at dancing. Their plan worked. Someone suddenly approached Tieria.

"My lady, may I have this dance." A man with green hair said. Tieria accepted the man's offer and the two began to dance. Seth saw that their lips were moving so he knew that this man could possibly be one of these 'Innovators'. While he was thinking he was tapped on the shoulder.

"Yes?" Seth turned around and saw a short green hair woman in a white tuxedo. She looked only a few years older than himself.

"Hey want to dance?" The woman said. Seth couldn't refuse without sounding rude.

"It would be my honor." Seth said as he grabbed the woman's hand and headed down to the dance floor. He didn't notice that Tieria had left the dance floor. During their dance Seth accidentally said his real name to the girl when he introduced himself. The girl introduced herself as Hiling Care.

Meanwhile outside.

Setsuna was waiting outside of the ball in case if they needed a quick escape. While outside he was approached by a woman who he met a few years ago.

"Louise Halevy."

"Are you Setsuna F. Seiei?"

"Yea."

"Wow, it's been awhile. How have you been?"

"I'm doing well, hey during my work I was able to meet up with Saji Crossroad."

"Really!?" Louise hadn't heard any news on Saji in a long time.

"What is he up too?" She asked.

"Last time I checked he was working in space."

"I see. He's doing what he always dreamed of doing. That's good." She was going to ask Setsuna a bombardments of questions when something stopped her.

"Guards! Guards, arrest this man. He's a member of celestial being!" A man's voice said. Setsuna turned to the source of the voice and saw Billy Katagiri, Sumeragi's Ex lover. When Setsuna had to pick up Sumeragi he revealed that he and Sumeragi were both members of Celestial Being. It was easy to see why he would hold a grudge against Setsuna. Just then the group heard several gunshots. It was followed by the sound of a window breaking.

"SETSUNA, START THE CAR!" A voice yelled. Setsuna quickly got in the car they rented and started it. Soon Tieria and Seth joined the Gundam Meister.

"Drive!" Setsuna slammed his foot on the gas and sped off. The three Gundam Meisters quickly reach the location where they hid their Gundams and got in them.

As they were flying back to [Ptolemaios II] they encounter a red Gundam.

"That's a throne Gundam. That could only mean only one thing." Tieria said as he saw the machine.

"Ali Al-Saachez." Setsuna said with spit clearly in his voice.

"Who?" Seth asked.

"He's the man that killed Lockon's older brother or the original Lockon Stratos. But how is he alive? Lockon should have killed him?"

"Oh he didn't kill me, but he did disintegrate the lower half of my body. The regeneration bills were really expensive. Ah I know, you guys will pay for my bills with your lives!" Ali said as he charged at the three machines.

"Fly my fangs!" Ali deployed the [Arche] Gundam's bit system. Seth responded by deploying his own bits from [Stargazer]'s ring. The fangs may outnumber [Stargazer]'s bits, but it was clear which one were better. Seth charged at Ali with his beam sabers out. The [Arche] Gundam brought out its GN Buster Sword, which was a massive blade, and swung at [Stargazer]. Seth crossed his blade and was able to hold the massive blade back. Seth narrowly avoided a beam saber that was hidden in the one of the [Arche] foot.

Ali kicked away Seth, and avoided a beam from [Seravee]. The [Arche] Gundam showed that it was very agile as it could easily avoid the strikes from [00].

"Come on you brats, is this really all you have?!" Ali said as he pushed back [00]. Seth saw that he couldn't hold back. He entered [Stargazer]'s awaken mode. The white armor expanded and revealed its hidden fold out armor. The GN drives started to produce a massive amount of GN particles and [Stargazer]'s body started to glow red.

Ali was suddenly struck by a kick. He recovered just in time to see a beam saber coming his way. Ali narrowly avoided a lethal strike, but the [Arche] lost one of its arms. Now a barrage of beams were fired towards the [Arche] Gundam. Ali turned towards the source of the beams and saw two more Gundams coming his way.

"Damn, five against one, this is too much even for me." Ali used the [Arche] Gundam's top speed and fled from the battle. With the threat gone, the Gundam Meisters returned to [Ptolemaios II].

A Few Days Later.

After the A-Laws gathering the crew of the [Ptolemaios II] needed to return to one of Celestial Being's base. Setsuna had revealed that he was a once a member of the KPSA a group of terrorist that was responsible for the death of Lockon's parents and younger sister. Lockon took the news surprisingly well and harbored no feelings of hatred for Setsuna.

A-Laws somehow discovered the location of [Ptolemaios II] and the members of celestial being we're left with no choice, but to make a daring launch into space. Sumeragi made a plan. She would use the Gundams' GN drives and enter Trans-Am. They should gain enough speed to escape earth's gravitational pull.

Now the A-Laws forces prepared to attack [Ptolemaios II]. Kati's ship received several new pilots. Among them were Hiling Care and Patrick Colasour the indestructible. He was called this not because he was never shot down, but rather that he has survived seven battles against the Gundams. Somehow he never dies. With Hiling joining A-Laws they gained a new machine, the [Gadessa].

A-Laws decided that the time to wait was over. They fired a massive barrage of torpedoes at [Ptolemaios II]. Sumeragi used this to her advantage. She waited until the torpedoes were close and ordered [Ptolemaios II] to launch. The massive ship exploded out of the water and the A-Laws forces open fire. However [Ptolemaios II] was faster than Kati had predicted and all the shots missed. It seemed like they were in the clear, but Kati had predicted an event like this occurring. She had Hiling launch and stay stationed at an extremely high altitude prior to the start of the attack.

"All I have to do is move them just three degrees. It should be easy for the [Gadessa]." Hiling said as she was charging her GN mega launcher, which was a massive cannon that fires compressed GN particles.

"There!" Hiling said as she unleashed her beam. Luckily for celestial being, the beam didn't cause too much damage to the ship, but it knocked them off course. They had to change course or risk causing damage to the ship.

"Entering Earth's lower orbit." Feldt said as they were reaching the low orbital ring that encircles the earth. They didn't expect that A-Laws would have an ambush waiting for them. Well Sumeragi did. She made Setsuna launch while they made their accent. [00] engaged the enemy units and destroyed them. After rejoining with [Ptolemaios II] they headed towards one of celestial being base. As they were traveling they were attacked by a purple machine. Seth repelled the attack, but the mysterious machine was able to keep up with [Stargazer] which surprised him.

Over The Next Few Days.

[Ptolemaios II] had reached the base, which was a hollowed out asteroid. The base had really good natural camouflage and Seth was impressed by it. When they reached the base they were greeted by Ian and his wife. There was a third person with the parents of Mileina. She was round the age of the normal Gundam Meister. She has lavender hair and Reddish Chestnut eyes. She's beautiful to say the least.

"Ah, hello. My name is Anew Returner. It's a pleasure to meet you." Anew said as she introduced herself.

"This girl is something else. Not only is she a genius at mobile suit engineering, she also cleans and cooks." Ian really liked that he had someone like Anew around.

"Well it's a pleasure to meet you." Lockon said to the lavender hair woman.

The group quickly began to restock the ship and testing out the three new machines Ian had made. The first was [0 Raiser]. With it [00]'s performance should increase dramatically according to the predicted data. The second was an assist unit for [Arios] called [Archer]. Currently there was no pilot for the machine so in the case of an emergency the machine could be launch and piloted by a Haro. The last machine was the upgrade for [Stargazer] that would stabilize the twin GN drives on the white mech. Its called [Rogue], but it was still under construction. Seth was asked to assist with [00] activation test with the newly attached [0 Raiser].

"Beginning test in 5...4...3..." Setsuna actives Trans-Am inside of [00 Raiser] and immediately the results were shocking.

"This is more powerful than were could have imagined." Ian said as he was reading the newly recorded data. Seth's eyes opened wide with shock as he witness the incoming data.

"This is the power of a Gundam?"

Meanwhile.

Katharon officials were currently meeting with members of the Suille kingdom, the only country in the Middle East with a considerable military force that could oppose A-Laws. As the meeting was underway, above a massive beam fired. The beam instantly leveled the city.

Several Hours Later.

Celestial Being soon learned of the tragic event that occurred. Now Sumeragi was thinking of a plan to try and destroy whatever it was that fired on the kingdom of Suille, however they didn't have the luxury of time. The base started to shake violently. Somehow A-Laws discovered the location of the base and now opened fire on it.

"All non-combat personnel make your way to the escape pods, I repeat all non-combat personnel make your way to the escape pods." Feldt said as she began the evacuation of all non-combatants. [Ptolemaios II] started its emergency launch protocol. Celestial Being's mothership narrowly got out of the base before it exploded. Allelujah launched to protect the non-combat personnel as the made their escape. The rest of the Gundam Meisters launched and engaged the enemy. Seth in [Stargazer] charged at a group of nearby [XIII] units. He slashed at one of the [XIII] cockpits, instantly killing the pilot. A second [XIII] fired a barrage of beams and several GN missiles at the white Gundam. The beams were absorbed and Seth shot the missiles with [Stargazer]'s beam pistols. He deployed his bits and fired on the suits surrounding him. He moved just in time to avoid a new attack. The strike came from that mysterious purple machine from earlier.

[Garazzo] was currently pilot by the Innovade Bring Stabity. He was ordered with the destruction of Celestial Being by Ribbons Almark. He wasn't human to say, so he had no qualms about killing one. He saw that one of the Gundams was alone. He set his sights on the machine. Seth narrowly avoided Bring's attack. The Gundam pilot brought out his beam sabers and charged at the [Garazzo]. Bring brought out [Garazzo]'s beam claws and met Seth's beam sabers. The blades met and repelled each other. Seth ordered his bits to fire on [Garazzo], but Bring was able to move away before the attack hit.

As the Gundam Meisters were fighting off the A-Laws forces, a beam hit [Ptolemaios II]. Luckily for them no major damage was received. However they couldn't get ahold of Ian.

"Saji, please go to hangar number three and check on Ian." Sumeragi said. Saji agreed and made his way towards the damaged section of the ship. When he arrived he found Ian, he was hurt, but it wasn't too bad. Ian asked Saji to pilot the [0 Raiser] and get it to Setsuna. Saji wanted to atone for his mistakes at the Katharon base and this seemed like the start for that. After handing Ian to Marie he got into the [0 Raiser] and launched.

"Dammit!" Seth cursed as he was being pushed back. Hiling and Bring were teaming up on the pilot of [Stargazer]. Seth was giving his all, but he was reaching his limit.

"What the hell is that?" Seth said as he suddenly saw two massive rings of GN particles.

"This light, what is it?" Hiling said. Suddenly all across the battlefield people could hear one another's voices. Seth saw from the corner of his eye a machine.

"Huh? [00] docked with the [0-Raiser]!"

"Bring deal with the white one, the twin drive one is mine." Hiling said as she charged at [00 Raiser].

"Dammit, get out of my way!" Seth said to Bring as he fought the [Garazzo]. Seth and Setsuna continued their battles with their opponents. Seth saw that Setsuna had slipped up and now a beam saber was about to hit him.

"Setsuna No!" Seth watched as he could do nothing as the [Garazzo] was preventing him from helping. Seth saw [00 Raiser] suddenly turn into GN particles.

"What the hell?" Seth said with pure shock. Suddenly [00 Raiser] appeared behind the [Gadessa] and slashed the mobile suit. Hiling ejected before the GN blade destroyed her suit. She had to flee from the battle. Bring was also in shock by [00 Raiser] abilities and gave Seth an opening. The black hair boy with white highlights stabbed [Garazzo] with his beam sabers. Bring ejected before his suit blew up and fled from the battlefield. The A-Laws forces began to retreat. Allelujah reported that the non-combat member of celestial being were able to escape and received no casualties. [Ptolemaios II] set its course towards the location of the space laser known as [Memento Mori].

A Few Days Later.

[Memento Mori] had been fired once more, this time it attack a military base, however a nearby refugee camp was caught in the attack. There was an estimated 1,000,000 civilian casualties. Katharon couldn't stand back any longer. After receiving some data on [Memento Mori] they launched their entire space fleet in an attempt to destroy the weapon. They discovered that the beam could also be shot into space. [Memento Mori] fired at the incoming Katharon forces and annihilated half of the fleet. The remaining Katharon forces charged towards [Memento Mori].

When the station was in range they fired all of their missiles. However the A-Laws mobile suits teams and battle ships intercepted the missiles. Not a single on made it through. The Katharon forces launched their mobile suits and engaged the enemy forces, but the machines were over five years old and couldn't match the specs of the newer A-Laws mobile suit. Things looked very grim for the Katharon forces, but just as all hope seemed lost something began to wipe out a large number of enemy units.

"Huh? A Gundam!" [00 Raiser] appeared and started to eliminate any of the A-Laws that were in his way.

"Sir incoming ship. It's celestial being!"

[Ptolemaios II] had began its operation. Sumeragi ordered that [Seravee] and [Arios] link their GN drives with [Ptolemaios II] while [Stargazer] and [Cherudim] would stand in one of [Ptolemaios II]'s launch pad. They would use the Gundams' Trans-Am ability and increase the speed of the [Ptolemaios II]. As they would accelerate towards [Memento Mori] Seth and Lockon would protect the ship with their bits. [00 Raiser] would destroy any mobile that tried to fire on them. [Stargazer] was tasked with punching a hole into [Memento Mori] with its beams and Lockon was tasked with finishing the weapon of mass destruction off.

"Allelujah, Tieria!" Sumeragi yelled.

"Trans-Am!" Both Gundam Meisters yelled. [Seravee] and [Arios] began to glow red. [Ptolemaios II]'s speed now began to increase dramatically and she too began to glow red.

"[Stargazer] launch the bit system!" Seth said.

'Launching bits' [Stargazer] said.

"Haro deploy the shield bits!" Lockon said to the orange spherical robot.

'Deploying shield bits, deploying shield bits.' The orange Haro said. [Stargazer] and [Cherudim] launched their bits and the mission was now in full gear. As celestial being accelerated towards [Memento Mori] the A-Laws forces opened fire on the ship. In its current state A-Laws couldn't destroy [Ptolemaios II] with their mobile suit fire power, but if they could knock the ship off of [Memento Mori]'s blind spot then the massive beam could destroy them. As Seth and Lockon's bits were doing their best to protect the [Ptolemaios II] but the ship was being thrown into [Memento Mori] line of fire.

"30 seconds until [Ptolemaios II] is in the enemy's line of fire." Feldt said. Seth saw that he needed to act fast. He entered [Stargazer]'s awaken form. The yellow fold out armor began to glow brightly. Two blue sphere started to form in [Stargazer]'s hands.

"[Stargazer] I need you to hold out with me!" Seth entered Hypermode and the lines on [Stargazer] began to glow light blue. The spheres started to glow light blue and expand in size.

"We've entered the enemy's line of fire!" Feldt yelled. It was do or die. Seth fired the beams. They raced towards [Memento Mori] and blasted through the armor. The beams penetrated the armor of [Memento Mori], but failed to destroy it. [Memento Mori] was fully charged and opened fire on [Ptolemaios II]. The A-Laws forces saw [Ptolemaios II] disappear. Many began to cheer as finally Celestial Being was no more. However on the radar it showed a ship approaching fast. [Ptolemaios II] used the last of [Seravee] and [Arios] energy to accelerate from [Memento Mori] line of fire. They now exited Trans-Am, but unlike before [Memento Mori] weak spot was open. Both Seth and [Stargazer] were reaching their limit. Entering Hypermode put far more of a strain on Seth and [Stargazer] then he had imagined. They were within striking distance. This was the final shot.

"Lockon! Do it now!"

"Lockon Stratos, Targeted and Firing!" The yellow horns on [Cherudim] slid down and revealed a large lens that it used when sniping. Lockon pulled the trigger and it was a success. [Memento Mori] was destroyed. [Ptolemaios II] was glad that the mission was a success, but they had no clues on what awaited them next. Behind them a large mobile armor appeared.
