Gundam, driving a mass-produced machine will change the world

The Deejet is undoubtedly an excellent mobile suit. Even Amuro Ray, the pilot who is indispensable when discussing Gundam, spent a large part of his piloting career in the Deejet. After the Gryps War, Amuro piloted the Deejet to pursue the remnants of Neo Zeon in space, defeating a group of monsters and monsters with a second-generation mobile suit, leaving behind a formidable reputation.

Currently, this excellent mobile suit is being piloted by Eli. Unlike the GM series mobile suits, the Dige was also developed using Zeon technology, but its internal structure is purely Federation-based. The engine boost provided by the pair of heat sinks on its back gives it remarkably high mobility and beam weapon firing capabilities within the atmosphere.

Eli used this mobility to quickly advance towards the already precarious southern front!
The power of the four mass-produced Psycho Gundams was simply too overwhelming; Karaba, with Rem as its main force, currently had virtually no means of resistance. Having lost their Minovsky flight devices, the mass-produced Psycho Gundams had become incredibly resilient to maximize their battlefield survivability. Even electromagnetic cannons could only penetrate a short distance, far from being able to damage their internal structures with electrical discharge.

Perhaps only close-quarters combat could pose a threat to these four mass-produced psycho-guns.

That was exactly what Eli was thinking about.

"Bang, bang, bang"

Three short, sharp booms rang out as Eli jumped up several kilometers away and launched an attack on the mass-produced Psycho Gundam with his 300mm rocket launcher.

However, as expected, the three rockets were shattered in mid-air by the anti-air defense network formed by the mass-produced Psycho Gundams, turning into fireballs. Amidst the flashes of fire, the four mass-produced Psycho Gundams simultaneously halted their advance and stood frozen in place.

"Did you know I was here?"

Eli believed that just as he could sense that the other party's four machines were clones of himself, the other party must also be able to sense his existence as the original.

"Om-"

Sure enough, just as Eli turned sharply to the left following the warning that rose in his mind, a thick beam of light blasted straight at him! Eli, who had already taken cover behind a building, did not stop. Instead, he stepped on the pedals and quickly pulled the machine upward. Another mass-produced Psycho Gundam was using its chest-mounted MEGA particle cannon to ignore the existence of buildings, piercing through several houses before attacking Eli!

Aside from the two mass-produced Psycho Gundams that immediately used their most powerful weapons to attack Eli, the other two did not use this weapon with its long wind-up time. Instead, they used their remaining beam weapons and the grenade launchers covering their entire bodies to attack the Dieje, which was suspended in the air.

This is where the importance of Dijon's maneuverability becomes apparent. Using its thrusters, Eli can even maneuver Dijon up and down in the air, leaving the dense barrage of fire behind. The roar of the thrusters continues unabated as Dijon, under Eli's control, performs a series of highly difficult evasive maneuvers, sometimes rapidly climbing, sometimes diving and turning, each time perfectly avoiding fatal attacks.

At this moment, the ruins around them had been completely reduced to piles of bricks and tiles. This area, which once had the potential for repair, was now only fit for post-disaster reconstruction. Smoke and dust filled the streets, and the already dilapidated buildings continued to collapse due to nearby explosions. Occasionally, civilians could be seen hurriedly taking cover, but they were quickly dispersed by new explosions.

The people of Jabulo did not care about the future livelihood of the common people. In the underground of Jabulo, all they wanted was to sever the idea of ​​making humanity leave the earth.

"Kill Eli at all costs"

These were the orders they gave.

"boom!"

Eli seized the opportunity and fired a rocket at one of the mass-produced Psycho Gundams. This Gundam didn't react in time, but another Gundam beside it quickly intercepted the rocket with its chest-mounted diffusion MEGA particle cannon. The shockwave from the explosion caused Dijet's mobile suit to vibrate slightly. Eli quickly adjusted his stance and continued searching for the next opportunity.

Watching the seamless coordination between the four opposing machines, Eli's troubles deepened. Unlike the coordination between ordinary squads, these mass-produced psycho-Gundams in front of him seemed to lack communication. Eli felt as if a more general consciousness existed among them, and each individual psycho-Gundam was like an extension of limbs.

Therefore, even Eli could not find an opportunity to actually cause damage.

"Is it because they are unaware of each other that they have merged together?"

Newtypes, when activating their abilities, often seem to enter another dimension, able to clearly sense the presence of others and read their thoughts. However, each person's will is usually firm and not swayed by the thoughts of others. But the four bio-CPUs in front of us do not possess their own consciousness, so their decisions can naturally be completely synchronized with the other machines.

The tremor from the landing didn't deter Eli. He quickly maneuvered Dijet to turn and advance, circling the four large psycho-guns. Reaching his left arm behind his waist, he grasped the beam naginata hanging there, then changed direction and charged towards one of the large psycho-guns!

In Eli's observation, this path of attack could be attacked by a maximum of two Psycho Gundams at the same time, which was his only chance.

The first explosion to erupt around Eli was a saturation barrage from the Psycho Gundam's 14 grenade launchers. For a time, Eli, seated in the cockpit of the Psycho Gundam, could only see the flashes of the explosions. Shrapnel and shockwaves relentlessly pounded against Dije's armor, clanging and rattling. Eli gripped the control stick tightly, maintaining his charge trajectory.

But Eli quickly reached an area inaccessible to the vertically launched grenade launchers mounted on his back, and the two ends of his beam naginata suddenly lit up! At that moment, the twin beam cannons on the wrists of the Psycho Gundam in front of him aimed at Eli as he raised his arms, and short beams swept towards Eli!

Without a shield, Deeje seemed to have no way to defend himself.

Eli, however, showed no sign of backing down. Instead, he raised his left arm horizontally, his wrist spinning rapidly, causing the beam naginata to form an arc in front of his body! The spinning beam naginata created a temporary defensive barrier, deflecting or scattering some of the incoming beams.

The I-field of the beam saber interferes with the I-field used to restrain particles, and Eli continued to advance with this "shield" on his back! Even so, it could not eliminate those high-heat particles, and the beam that was dispersed by the beam saber would also leave unsightly marks on the armor due to Dieje's rush, but Dieje had already reached the feet of the Psycho Gundam!

The beam naginata, spinning at high speed, slashed horizontally as Dijon turned, severing the left leg of the Psycho Gundam in front of him. The sound of metal melting under the intense heat was grating and unpleasant, and wisps of blue smoke rose from the broken edge. The Psycho Gundam, now without support, toppled over.

After the first machine collapsed, another appeared before Eli, its high-energy MEGA particle cannon already deployed and charged, aimed directly at him. This weapon was comparable in power to the ZZ's high-energy MEGA particle cannon; against it, not only would Deejeon be helpless, but even the Psycho Gundam that had fallen before Deejeon would be utterly unstoppable!
Eli had no time to escape unscathed. The high-energy MEGA particle cannon had already fired the moment he jumped, and the thick beam enveloped Dijon's lower body! A violent tremor spread throughout the entire aircraft, and an alarm immediately blared in the cockpit.

Despite feeling no fear of facing death, Eli calmly raised his intact rocket launcher and fired a rocket from that distance as he was hit!

"boom!"

The rocket struck the Psycho Gundam squarely in the chest, and the MEGA particles that hadn't yet been launched became its own death knell, blasting the Psycho Gundam's head off in the explosion! The flames from the explosion instantly engulfed the machine. Eli, who had taken down two Psycho Gundams in one fell swoop, helplessly watched in mid-air as two more Psycho Gundams aimed their weapons at the falling Deejet. The lower half of the Deejet was almost completely destroyed, with only the remaining parts still emitting sparks and black smoke.

While Dijon only lost his legs, the thrusters on his back overheated due to heat conduction from the metal. It's ironic that a machine specifically designed for heat dissipation would fall into danger due to overheating.

Eli remained calm.

Because in his perception, his reinforcements had already arrived.

In an instant, a thick, cherry-pink beam of light stretched across the entire battlefield from north to south, passing before Eli's eyes and separating the wrecked Deejet from the remaining two large psycho-Gundams.

The beam of light didn't directly target the two Psycho Gundams; instead, it landed on the wasteland outside the city, causing a massive, earth-shattering commotion. Since this was an attack launched by the White Vanguard, who had finally arrived on the battlefield, using their ship's cannons, even if it had directly hit the Psycho Gundams, it would likely have included Eli in the aftershocks of the explosion.

Therefore, this naval gun was not intended to cause damage, but was purely a support shot.

"Amuro, Nu Gundam, sortie!"

The moment the naval gunfire ceased, cheers erupted in the friendly communications channel! Amuro was not only informing the White Vanguard of his sortie, but also announcing his arrival to the soldiers of Karaba present.

Emerging from the white vanguard was a white meteor. The Nu Gundam, riding the SFS, traversed the battlefield while simultaneously using its rocket launcher to shoot down several Ashima units in mid-air, relieving its allies! The rockets hit their targets precisely, and the explosions lit up the sky.

This Nu Gundam, riding its SFS (Super Free Speed ​​Shift), grabbed the damaged Dieje as it passed by. While using the SFS to dodge, it also instantly gained altitude, dodging the pursuit of the Psycho Gundam. The Nu Gundam's arm firmly gripped the Dieje's fuselage; the movement was fluid and precise.

"Eli, are you alright?"

"fine."

In fact, without his pilot's suit, Eli felt certain he would become dizzy from the heat; maintaining consciousness was a testament to the power of the Newtypes. Sweat dripped from his forehead as he endured the discomfort, focused his attention, and injected a syringe into his upper arm.

"Get rid of them, as soon as possible."

Without much small talk, there was no time for that on the battlefield. After taking Eli away to a certain distance, Amuro pushed Dijon off the SFS and then went around to face the two massive psycho-Gundams.

In a gravity-controlled environment, the Nu Gundam also doesn't carry its own wing funnels; instead, it's equipped with shoulder cannons as fixed armament. Visually, they do resemble the cannons of the Fukuoka Nu Gundam.

"Those Titans bastards!"

Amuro Ray's sense of familiarity emanating from the other side ignited his fury. Perhaps due to the superiority of his Newtype abilities, the remaining two Psycho Gundams focused their firepower on the Nu Gundam. Beams and projectiles rained down upon it.

Amuro skillfully maneuvered the Nu Gundam, dodging attacks with agility, its shoulder cannons roaring as they precisely struck their targets. The Nu Gundam darted back and forth across the battlefield, each attack perfectly timed to interrupt the enemy's offensive.

Eli didn't pay attention to Amuro's battle, nor did he leave Dieje; instead, he maintained contact with the White Vanguard through Dieje. The communication screen in the cockpit occasionally flashed static, but the basic functions remained intact.

"How is the mass-produced Nu Gundam in condition?"

"We can deploy at any time. I'll arrange for someone to meet you right now."

Captain Otto knew that once Eli boarded the mass-produced Nu Gundam, the siege of the Titans would quickly crumble. Therefore, a small squad, continuously releasing white vanguard mobile suits from his own fleet, moved towards Eli's location.

"No, set up the automatic program and have the mass-produced Nu Gundam come directly to me."

The time spent traveling back and forth is also precious.

After Eli gave the order, the White Vanguard's mobile suits and the Karaba's forces quickly cleared a path for the mass-produced Nu Gundam, which was about to burst directly from the catapult. Friendly mobile suits on the battlefield deliberately guided enemy fire, creating an opportunity for the mass-produced Nu Gundam to launch its attack.

Eli, already somewhat dazed in the cockpit of the Digi, saw a flash of light rushing towards him on the cluttered screen. Just like the Fallen Angel ejected in the second season of OO, the mass-produced Nu Gundam was also launched by the catapult, heading straight for its pilot!

Upon approaching the fallen Dijon, the Leonbuch activated its thrusters and began a slow descent. The aircraft's attitude was adjusted very smoothly, demonstrating an excellent control system.

After kneeling on the ground, the bull's chest opened on its own, placing the unfolded cockpit in front of Eli, who was struggling to crawl out of Dij. The lights inside the cockpit illuminated the surroundings, guiding Eli.

The combat stimulant injected into his body earlier had taken effect, and Eli's vision gradually cleared, finally focusing on the open cockpit.

"You've had a tough journey."

Speaking to his aircraft, Eli stepped into the cockpit and sat down.

The hatch closed automatically, and Liang Niu stood upright amidst the ruins! (End of Chapter)
