Mobile Suit Wars: Starting with Gundam OO

Ptolemaios suddenly rolled in place, swapping its abdomen and top, exposing the Dingwu forces once again to Ptolemaios's barrage.

...

A few minutes earlier, on the bridge of Ptolemaios.

"Are we really going to do this?" Lasse was startled by Sumeragi's orders; could such a maneuver really work? Not to mention the damage to Ptolemaios's hull, the gravitational forces from a rapid roll would be unbearable.

"There's no other way!"

"But…"

"Ms. Huang! Gundam Kyrios is rapidly moving away from the combat area, Allelujah is silent, possibly captured! What should we do!?" Christina suddenly exclaimed in panic.

"Gundam Virtue is in a tough battle, the enemy seems to have launched Coagulant, Gundam Virtue… armor disengaged, Nadleeh has appeared." Feldt reported flatly, but the beads of sweat on her forehead revealed her inner anxiety.

"Lasse!"

"Fine, I got it! I don't know what will happen!" As soon as he finished speaking, Lasse abruptly turned the ship's helm, causing violent vibrations that made the others on board grimace in pain, even Ptolemaios's hull emitted a faint creaking sound.

"Hold on, we must hold on…"

The shaking and pain from the gravitational changes didn't last long; soon their view righted itself, and the battlefield, previously difficult to observe from the abdomen, returned to their sight.

"Nadleeh Gundam! No way! Tieria actually…" Christina gasped, covering her mouth; according to the original plan, Nadleeh Gundam shouldn't have been exposed this early!

"Ms. Huang, we now…"

"Main and secondary cannons, target the enemy MS forces, but do not fire. Notify Tieria, the use of the Trial System is not permitted!" Sumeragi ordered immediately.

"Ah!?" Everyone was momentarily stunned, not understanding Sumeragi's intention.

"Do as I say! I'll explain later!"

"Understood!" X4

...

Tieria received Sumeragi's instructions; although angry, he controlled his rising fury, his finger leaving the Trial System activation button, waiting for the next command.

On the other side, Sergei, as an excellent commander, immediately understood the implication and quickly ordered, "Retreat!"

"But Colonel…" Peries expressed confusion at Sergei's command; this was a great opportunity to capture the second Gundam and the Celestial Being transport ship! If they missed it, there might not be another chance.

"Calm down, Lieutenant, look behind you!" Sergei reprimanded.

Peries froze for a moment, turned to look behind her, and was instantly terrified, as Ptolemaios's main cannon was aimed at them, and behind them… was the space orbit!

"Despicable!" Peries cursed; whether they dodged Ptolemaios's bombardment or not, the cannon fire would hit the space orbit, clearly threatening them!

"This is war, Lieutenant, and the objective of this operation has already been achieved. Retreat!"

"...Understood."

Though reluctant, she could distinguish the priorities; with the operational goal already met, it was better to retreat than to incur unacceptable losses in an attempt to expand their gains.

Watching the enemy MS forces retreat, everyone on Ptolemaios breathed a sigh of relief; if possible, they didn't want to destroy the space orbit.

"Nadleeh, return immediately. Ian, arrange for Haro to collect Gundam Virtue's armor as quickly as possible and restore Gundam Virtue. Feldt, lock onto Gundam Kyrios's position; once the debris is recovered, launch a rescue operation!" Sumeragi commanded.

"Ms. Huang, due to this ambush, Gundam Kyrios has been captured, and Nadleeh's early exposure is primarily your responsibility." Tieria, while executing Sumeragi's orders, vented his frustration on her, as Sumeragi had indeed made erroneous commands during the battle.

"I won't argue; I will apply for punishment from VEDA later, but the urgent matter is to rescue Allelujah and Gundam Kyrios."

"...Understood, but I will still report to VEDA."

"I know, return to the ship, we…"

Just as Sumeragi anxiously wondered if there was enough time to rescue Gundam Kyrios and Allelujah, a melodious voice rang out like a savior descending upon Ptolemaios and Nadleeh, sweeping away all the gloom.

"I'll go rescue Gundam Kyrios; you all handle things here, then directly retreat to coordinates A726. I will bring back Allelujah and Gundam Kyrios to meet up with you."

"Yang Hui!"

"Myer San"

Everyone exclaimed in delight, watching the screen as Gundam Rasiel drew closer, surpassing Ptolemaios and Nadleeh, heading towards the retreating Human Reform League forces.

"We'll talk later; I'm going to save someone. And Tieria… too take it out on my wife, I'll deal with you when I get back!"

"What…"

"Just like that, communication ended."

Tieria was operating Nadleeh's return when Yang Hui's last harsh words nearly made him crash into the wall of the launch bay.

"Hahaha, Tieria is in trouble now."

"Condolences, may you be a decent person in your next life."

"Such a young person."

"Mei Er Yin Sang looks so cool and domineering when protecting his wife! Ms. Huang is really lucky; do you know any men like Mei Er Yin Sang? Please be sure to introduce them to me!"

"Seriously, wife or whatever, you're not even married yet, no proposal…"

Some teased Tieria, while others teased Sumeragi, who shyly lowered her head, but a sweet smile of happiness lingered at the corners of her mouth.

This was Yang Hui's charm; when Myer said he would rescue Allelujah and Gundam Kyrios, it was certain he would succeed. All the gloom from the previous battle was swept away, and even Tieria no longer worried about the exposure of the Celestial Being plan or the risk of Gundam leaking information early. As long as Yang Hui was there, any crisis was not a crisis in their eyes, for Yang Hui gave them such great confidence.

Yang Hui… had already become the pillar in everyone's heart.

"Alright everyone! We can't relax yet! Ian, how's the armor recovery going?"

"Almost done!"

"Good! Lasse, Lichty, after the recovery is complete, leave here immediately and head to coordinates A726. Feldt, Christina, closely monitor the nearby space; we are not safe yet. Tieria, take the time to rest; we might still need you to engage."

"Understood!" XN

...

Sergei led the remaining members of the Dingwu forces back to the location of the transport ship.

"How's the situation with the transformation machine?" Sergei immediately asked.

"Maintaining silence, attempting to open the cockpit!"

"Everyone be careful; it would be dangerous if the transformation machine suddenly broke free from its restraints."

"Understood!"

Everyone was excited because they had not only defeated a Gundam but also successfully captured one!

This was something neither UNION nor AEU had achieved; this victory was worth boasting about, and as long as they safely transported the Gundam back home, the Human Reform League would stand at the pinnacle of the world!

But Sergei, the greatest contributor to this capture operation, couldn't feel happy at all because he was worried… in such a pressing situation, the most dangerous person had yet to appear.

For months, Gundam Rasiel had not appeared on Earth; preliminary assessments suggested he was in space, but if he was in space, why hadn't he shown up?

At that moment, Sergei's worst fears came true.

"Beep beep beep…"

"What's going on?"

"Colonel! It's a Gundam! The Gundam has caught up!"

"Don't panic! This was anticipated! Is it the transport ship and the fat machine?"

"No… it's not… it's… it's the Feather Machine!"

"What did you say!?" Sergei's pupils constricted as he maneuvered Beiwei to face the direction of the enemy machine charging towards them, "You little brat, you really showed up; this is troublesome…"
