"What's going on!?"
Sulei, ever the polite one, exclaimed in amazement at the magical scene unfolding before her.
"Why is the Blitz teleporting?"
"It's not teleporting. There are several Mobile Suits there."
Serena pointed to the radar display.
The Mirage particle sensor on it was flashing wildly.
"Oh."
A hint of embarrassment appeared on Sulei's face, but she quickly changed the subject.
"But they're so in sync."
"They must be twins."
He Kui shrugged, as if recalling the Mobile Suits from the library. They were piloted by a clone named Lily, and it was a mass-produced Lily at that.
"They can't hold on."
As Serena spoke, the Strike was kicked by the invisible Blitz and crashed into the research building he hadn't had time to investigate. Meanwhile, the Blitz's Beam Rifle continued to fire at the Strike's crater.
Amid the billowing smoke, the already dilapidated building collapsed with a thunderous roar.
"Is the Strike dead?"
Serena asked with a furrowed brow.
"Probably not yet."
As soon as He Kui finished speaking, the Strike, battered and bruised, emerged from the rubble, its shield raised, and charged forward once more.
"What do we do now?"
Sulei blinked and asked.
"There's nothing we can do."
After all, several Blitz units had appeared out of nowhere, and each one had the strength of a Red Uniform. Even Kira and the others were now at a disadvantage.
However, He Kui had no intention of stepping out.
Creuset must have anticipated their ambush, and he didn't think Creuset had brought them here just to talk.
He must have some other goal in mind.
"Enough! What's your purpose? Just to tell us this?!"
As if echoing He Kui's thoughts, Mu also asked at that moment.
Although they were shocked by Creuset's answer, neither of them had lost their fighting spirit after learning the truth.
"Of course not. Now that the main characters are here, let the show begin."
Creuset sneered, and then—"Boom!!!"
A massive explosion reached the ears of He Kui and the others.
But it wasn't in Mendel—it was in DSSD.
"What do you think of this script? If PLANT and Orb, during their visit to DSSD, turn on each other and destroy the DSSD space station, reigniting the war? Hahahaha!"
"Don't die on me, Councilor He."
Amid Creuset's maniacal laughter, the three M1 Astrays in the DSSD port suddenly launched an attack on He Kui's flagship next door.
Before he could activate the light shield, his flagship was completely destroyed, leaving only wisps of black smoke.
".He Kui!"
Sulei nervously grabbed his arm. After all, their people—Iron Wall, Lika, and the captain—were all over there.
He Kui, staring at the three puppet-like Mobile Suits, forced himself to stay calm.
"Are those three girls spies?"
"No, brainwashing?"
Thinking of the impossible spies and the information he had guessed, He Kui's expression darkened.
His worst fear had come true.
But if he could control things remotely, it wasn't too far-fetched that others could master brainwashing.
"Serena, are my things there?"
"Yeah, did you already guess?"
Serena's eagerness carried an indescribable strangeness.
"No, just being cautious."
"Let's go, we'll head to the Liberator together."
After transferring control of the Aegis to Shihe on the screen, He Kui immediately said.
"But the Liberator..."
Sulei looked at their flagship, which had completely exploded in the surveillance footage, her beautiful brows deeply furrowed, filled with worry.
"The Liberator isn't there."
He Kui shook his head. Putting all his eggs in one basket wasn't his style.
"Huh?"
"The Liberator was hidden by He Kui when you first arrived."
Serena explained.
"..."
Hearing this, Sulei was speechless.
If she had known earlier, she would have called He Kui overly cautious, but now... she could only say that He Kui truly had foresight.
As they spoke, the space station trembled again.
It seemed like it could fall apart at any moment.
"We can't let them do as they please anymore."
He Kui said, leading the way out of the secret room. The Liberator wasn't far from here, in a hangar near the hidden port.
This area hadn't been touched by the battle yet.
"Captain Iron Wall, Lika, we have a situation."
He Kui wasn't idle on the way. He pressed his wristband, connected to a private channel, and immediately spoke.
"We see it here. The port has been breached; we can't escape from there."
Although they were curious about how He Kui seemed to predict this attack, the two on the resource satellite next to DSSD knew now wasn't the time to ask.
"He Kui, is your Mobile Suit okay?!"
Lika asked urgently.
"It's fine."
"There are other exits."
"You go ahead and contain them until I come out. Try not to kill them."
Although they were caught off guard, the three M1 pilots were just three Natural girls, while they had two Elite Red Coats.
Containing them should be manageable.
"Got it."
Having arranged everything, Xiao Liu, who stayed by Cagalli's side, escorted her out of the DSSD guest room.
"What's happening?"
Having seen her share of big events, Cagalli wasn't too panicked and just asked He Kui, who was leading the way.
"The three M1 pilots suddenly attacked my flagship."
He Kui said.
"What!? Impossible!?"
Hearing He Kui's words, Cagalli jumped up.
"I know, we'll talk later. Let's get out of here first."
"Okay."
After weighing the situation, Cagalli finally obeyed.
At that moment, He Kui successfully brought the two inside the Liberator.
"So this is your Mobile Suit..."
Despite the urgency and danger, Serena couldn't help but marvel at the neatly arranged, comfortable, and advanced Mobile Suit with its spherical panoramic cockpit.
This Mobile Suit was undoubtedly world-class.
But such a Mobile Suit had only been piloted by He Kui three times.
"Yeah, I hope I don't embarrass myself."
He Kui touched the Mobile Suit he hadn't operated in a long time and sighed.
"Dragoon System online, Nanoparticle Management Network connected and functioning," Sulei reported promptly after completing the Dragoon inspection.
"Good."
"Then let's sortie. Just disable their Mobile Suits; no need to kill anyone."
As he spoke, He Kui pressed a few buttons on the console, and the Mobile Suit accelerated electromagnetically, launching into space.
The moment it appeared, the Mirage particle alarm inside the Mobile Suit sounded. It seemed that during the earlier chaos, several Blitz units had infiltrated.
The layered, methodical approach indeed bore Creuset's signature.
There was no time to dwell on it. Powered by its immense thrust, the Mobile Suit swiftly circled halfway around the DSSD and entered the port, which had now become the main battlefield.
Lika and Iron Wall were still holding off those three Gundams.
