Chapter 206: Kira In the Sky
Cagalli sat on her knees with a smile on her face, clapping her hands while shouting cheers. Not far from her, the thirteen-month-old baby was struggling to maintain balance, moving forward step by step. However, the sister behind him fell on her heels, sitting on the ground and crying. The brother was at a loss for a while and also cried after that.
"Oh oh, mommy is here, don't cry, don't cry." Cagalli picked up the crying sister, "Kira, come and help."
The brother sitting alone on the floor saw no one come to hold him, crying sadder and sadder. Cagalli hurriedly put down the sister to hug the brother, but as long as the sister left her, she cried even louder.
"Kira, come and help, what are you doing?" Cagalli shouted and didn't get a response. She could not help but look up, found her husband was looking at the ceiling with a look of disorientation, "Kira? What happened?"
"Huh?" Kira snapped back to his senses, "Oh, they're both crying, are they? I'll do it."
"No, I'm asking what's wrong with you. Hey, you two, don't cry." The two babies also seemed to feel the serious atmosphere and their cries gradually stopped. "You look terrible just now, I'm worried about you, can you tell me what's wrong? You were fine until you answered the phone just now."
"Nothing, it's a little change at work." Kira played it cool, "I can fix it, you don't have to worry, it's really okay."
That's a lie.
Kira knew clearly that 00 Qanta's secret had been leaked out. Although he didn't know why Lacus suddenly changed as if she had become a different person, he just did leak the secret. The most critical is that he couldn't get through Dr. Lingus's phone. He couldn't find a suitable person to discuss it.
Kira knew clearly that with the moon's level of technology, they would soon find out who leaked the secret, and what would wait for him will be a fine and criminal sanctions for breach of contract. But when the wife and children were put on the other side of the scale, he instantly lost other options.
So where did it all go wrong? Was it wrong to work for Dr. Aeolia in order to give Cagalli a better life? Was it wrong to buy a house in order to give Cagalli a home? Or was being with Cagalli simply the wrong decision?
"Hey, Kira," Cagalli picked up the children one by one and put them on the bed, "I know I'm not smart enough to help you at work, and I don't have any skills to make money to ease your burden. I can only do simple things like taking care of them both and making you feel relaxed at home, but I am taking it seriously."
"It's really okay." Kira tried a harmless smile, "I "
"I'm really not that good, reading minds is too difficult for me." Cagalli walked over to Kira and put her hand gently on his shoulder, "But we've been married for so long, I'm not so dumb that I can't even tell when you have something on your mind, right?"
"I "Kira sighed and hung his head slowly and powerlessly, "I had no choice."
Cagalli moved a chair to Kira's side with an encouraging smile on her face, "Kira, you are very gentle, don't know how to refuse others. But you are a very righteous man and stick to your principles. This is your part I like the most."
"I didn't want to do this, I knew it was wrong, I couldn't even guess what the consequences would be, but "Kira bowed up in pain and covered his head, "I can't find the doctor, I don't even know what happened, I "
"Were you forced to do something against my will?" Cagalli looked at her husband, nodded slightly, and softened her voice, "Kira is not someone who would do such a thing, you must have been forced to do it. Is there a bad person to threaten you with something?"
Kira didn't know what to say what could he say? Your best friend, Lacus is the bad guy you're talking about, and you're the accomplice? He didn't have to think about it to know that the secret of 00 Qanta was leaked out from Cagalli's mouth, but Cagalli trusted and admired Lacus so much, how could he say such things?
"Although I don't think I can help much, you can't lose to bad guys ah! We have to set an example for the babies and be good and decent people!" Cagalli clenched her fist and waved it symbolically, "The kids and I will stand firmly on your side!"
Things in the world are not simply black and white, you single-celled creature! A wave of irritation made Kira unable to resist blurting out, "Even if we can't be together anymore?"
"Hey?" Cagalli froze in place, "What are you talking about?"
"Even if we can't be together anymore, I have to be separated from you and the kids." Kira lifted his head and stared at his sister, her eyes full of indefinable meaning, "We still have to insist on being good people?"
"Yes, we still have to insist on being good people." Cagalli nodded heavily, "No matter what happens, even if you can no longer be with us, you must still persist. But I will try to be with you again as long as we are both not dead."
"I "Kira only wanted to slap himself. What the hell am I talking about!
"And no, it's not a frivolous principle!" Cagalli looked at him with a firm gaze, her voice becoming a little choked up, "That is the principle you have been adhering to since we met, the most precious quality in you, and one of the most important reasons why I fell in love with you. Surrender because of the coercion of bad people this is not the Kira I know!"
"But you don't understand, you and the children"
"Then protect us, you're already a husband and a father, it's your duty!" Cagalli said with her eyes red, "I will also, I will also protect you, it is my duty as a wife and mother!"
Kira hammered his thigh with his fist and stood up, "I'm going to find His Highness Loran. Cagalli, wait for me."
"Of course I'll wait for you to come back." Cagalli said with tears in her eyes and a silly smile on her face, "Every day."
The roar of the thrusters could not be heard in the vacuum, and a bright line was drawn through the darkness of the universe as the Wing Gundam Zero maintained its top speed through the universe. Kira in the cockpit stared intently at the light dot on the edge of the radar as it continued to approach, taking a rare deep breath, trying to find the best possible state.
00 Qanta was taken by force, Miss Ayanami was knocked unconscious, Kira could not imagine why the innocent, gentle and lovely Miss Lacus had suddenly become this way. Her Highness Loran only vaguely mentioned that some changes had occurred in Dr. Lingus's family. Kira didn't get a detailed explanation, only knowing that Lacus was escaping to Earth.
Since he had taken over the task of seizing 00 Qanta back, he would definitely complete it. Even if the opponent is Lacus Lingus, he will not have a moment's hesitation.
He knows better than anyone else what a terrible MS 00 Qanta is, so without hesitation, he chose to chase it with Wing Gundam Zero. Fighting 00 Qanta with an unfamiliar machine is no different than suicide.
Fortunately, from the street view surveillance obtained before, on the other side, in addition to Alice, who had some combat experience, Lacus and the maid didn't have any experience of MS fight. According to common sense, the other side would certainly want to avoid battles.
In addition, the hangar's surveillance video was also deleted, somehow Lacus wasted a lot of time in the hangar. But thanks to this delay, plus Lacus and the girls had to take a long detour to avoid garrisons, he was able to catch up with 00 Qanta, whose speed was not at all inferior to that of Wing Gundam Zero.
"I'm ready." Kira looked at the familiar figure that finally appeared in the field of vision and muttered to himself, "I will fight."
The two sides were getting closer and closer, 00 Qanta, as if simply gave up to escape, was facing him and waiting in place. Lacus's voice appeared on the public channel, "Is it Kira Yamato who is coming? Why are you doing this?"
"I don't want to fight you either, Ms. Lacus." Kira said in a deep voice, "But I have someone I want to protect, so I will shoot you."
"You're contradicting yourself, or do you not care about Cagalli and the two kids anymore?" Lux laughed out softly, "Oh, I see, if you can wipe me out here, then no one will know your little secret, right?"
"I won't kill you, and I'm not afraid of you telling the truth. Although it is still invisible, the path for Cagalli and I to continue to be together must exist." Kira couldn't help but feel a little emotional, "I will"
Something is wrong, something is definitely wrong!
Kira reflexively performed a series of operations. Wing Gundam Zero fiercely gathered the wings to cover the whole body as four particle beams hit its steel wings from four different angles at almost the same time. The parts that were damaged automatically fell off, scattering countless feathers in the sky.
"Tsk." Lacus' unhappy voice came from the public channel, "You deserve to be a Super Coordinator "
Until then Kira only reacted that 00 Qanta's left arm's shape was not right two small Funnels were missing. Because the distance was too far, and the Funnels could only be manipulated by NT, he didn't notice their disappearance and subconsciously ignored them, but fortunately, his familiarity with 00 Qanta and his extraordinary reaction let him dodge at the most critical moment.
"Why can you use Funnels?" Asked Kira incredulously, "That's Funnels! Only NT can use them!"
Lacus didn't answer him but responded to him with an intense barrage of fire.
In order to make up for the lack of GN-Drive, and to balance the shield and Funnels on the left arm, the right arm of 00 Qanta is equipped with the "Sword IV", a composite weapon designed by Dr. Aeolia himself. As the name implies, this huge sword made of four blades of different sizes has three gun blades attached to it, and its complex structure allows it to change into various forms to meet different needs.
Kira remembered that Miss Ayanami had mentioned to him that if the GN-Drive was powerful enough, theoretically the "Sword IV" could even have high firepower bursts, but unfortunately, that only existed in theory, because no one can find that powerful GN-Drives.
The current Kira kept his Wing Gundam Zero's wings tucked away, trying to dodge the rapid fire while dashing forward. Earlless streams of light brushed by his side, occasionally splashing a cluster of sparks or scattering a few feathers.
Seeing that the attack never worked, Lacus panicked and began to control 00 Qanta to fly backward, while constantly changing the form of the weapon. However, no matter what she did, the distance between the two MSs was getting closer and closer.
"As expected." Kira said silently in his mind, "No sense of blocking, not very accurate shooting, and not skilled in the form change of Sword IV. As long as I keep this rhythm, I can easily cut off 00Qanta's four limbs after I get closer, and then I can bring back Miss Lacus and 00 Qanta unharmed."
"I'm surprised by your strength." Lacus said furiously, "Is it because of your almost invincible power that you have the courage to marry your own sister? Did you kill Athrun to hide the truth from Cagalli?"
"Power isn't all I have!" Kira felt a nameless fire burning in his chest, "Cagalli is so fond of you, how can you say such things, Miss Lacus!"
"What do you know again?" Sword IV turned into a heavy artillery mode, "I also have a bitterness!"
A flood of particles surged out with Lacus' roar, and Wing Gundam Zero easily got out of the striking range with a deft rotational side-shift, while 00 Qanta fell into a relatively long weapon cooldown, and the two MSs were within reach.
"I respect Dr. Lingus, and I believe you must have bitterness, but " A pair of white feathers broke out a dazzling light. Wing Gundam Zero instantly turned into a stream of light and affixed to 00 Qanta "Cagalli is crying!"
Kira used his weapon for the first time since the start of the battle, and Wing Gundam Zero's right arm rose up and gripped the beam saber stored in the left shoulder, swinging it downward as Kira pulled it out, and the next second, 00 Qanta's right arm and leg would be severed.
At that moment, 00 Qanta suddenly released Sword IV and in a flash, reached out with its right hand and grabbed Wing Gundam Zero's upper arm. Kira subconsciously followed the opponent's movement and twisted Wing Gundam Zero's head while pushing forward in an attempt to pull away from the distance.
"What?" Kira suddenly realized that 00 Qanta was actually holding onto Wing Gundam Zero from behind, "Is this your true goal?!"
"Momoka, good job." Lacus' voice dripped with exhaustion, "Alice, get started."
Less than three seconds after Lacus' words, Kira watched as the operating screen of his beloved MS went completely blue, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not regain control.
"Failed " Kira's face was ashen in a flash, "Cagalli, I "
00 Qanta released Wing Gundam Zero and began to retrieve the equipment that had been thrown everywhere. In the cockpit, Lacus took one last look back at the moon, "There should be no more pursuers, let's go."
"As ordered." The young girl in the driver's seat wiped the fragrant sweat on her forehead, "You are really great."
"Don't use honorifics, Momoka, just call me by my name." The light in Lacus' eyes dimmed, "You're Ade's maid, not mine."
Momoka was stunned, a wistful look gradually appeared on her face, "You said the same thing as he did."
