49:- Descent

Lafter and Azee, while engaged in battle alongside Ichiro and Tekkadan, couldn't help but be both amazed and unnerved by the relentless efficiency with which Ichiro's Ogre tore through the Gjallahorn Grazes. His mobile suit seemed like a monstrous entity, unchained and driven by pure bloodlust.

Lafter, her eyes fixed on the gruesome spectacle, muttered to Azee, "Azee, he's creepy. It's like he's lost all sense of restraint, becoming a wild beast on the battlefield."

Azee nodded, her attention also captivated by Ichiro's brutal display. "You're right. He's like a force of nature. What's even more astonishing is that he's doing all of this without the Alaya Vijana system."

Lafter, her curiosity piqued, asked, "How do you know that? And how can he move with such precision and skill without Alaya Vijana?"

Azee explained, "Akihiro told me about it. According to him, Ichiro never uses the Alaya Vijana system. He relies on his skills and constantly works on improving his machine's performance."

The two women continued to watch in awe as Ichiro continued his relentless assault on the Gjallahorn forces, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake.

As the transport plane approached the Earth's atmosphere, Bladwin turned to Ichiro and said, "Ichiro, let's go." His machine was positioned at the back of the transport plane, ready for deployment. The atmosphere outside the plane was scorching hot due to the gravitational pull of Earth.

Both Mika and Ichiro understood the urgency and moved toward the back of the plane.

Amidst the chaos of the battle, Mika and Ichiro swiftly dealt with the attacking Gjallahorn forces, their combat skills and coordination allowing them to eliminate the threats efficiently. With the enemies defeated for the moment, Ichiro noticed an opportunity to reach the transport plane and called out to Mika.

"Yo, Mika, catch this!" Ichiro shouted as he hurled a disabled Gjallahorn mobile suit towards his brother. Mika reacted swiftly, catching the mobile suit and understanding Ichiro's plan. With a nod, he used the Gjallahorn mobile suit as an improvised surfboard, minimizing the impact and damage to Barbatos as he surfed it.

Ichiro, not to be outdone, grabbed two more disabled Gjallahorn mobile suits and combined them into one, forming a makeshift board for himself.

The two brothers were now racing toward the Earth, utilizing their inventive approach to minimize the damage done to their respective machines.

Inside the transport plane, the crew and passengers watched anxiously as they couldn't see Mika and Ichiro due to the closing off the windows of the transport plane. They could only hope that the two Mobile Suit pilots would make it back safely and rejoin them. Their concern for the well-being of Ichiro and Mika was evident in the worried expressions on their faces.

Inside the transport plane, the tension and worry among the crew and passengers were palpable as they couldn't see what was happening outside due to the closed windows. A sense of unease hung in the air as they waited for any sign of Barbatos and Ogre. Atra and Kudelia, in particular, were deeply concerned about the well-being of Mika and Ichiro, their hearts heavy with anxiety.

However, that anxiety turned to sheer relief and joy when, suddenly, the windows of the transport plane opened, revealing the breathtaking sight of Barbatos and Ogre descending from the sky. The frames were riding on the bodies of their defeated adversaries, falling gracefully through the Earth's atmosphere.

Atra couldn't contain her tears of happiness as she saw Mika and Ichiro safely returning. Kudelia shared in her emotions, feeling a profound sense of relief that the two pilots had made it through the intense battle unscathed. The sight of Barbatos and Ogre descending like celestial beings was a symbol of hope and triumph for everyone on board.

Ichiro and Mika communicated through their mobile suits' comms as they continued their free fall. "That's Mikazuki," Ichiro remarked, his voice filled with admiration and pride. Mika nodded in agreement, sharing a special connection with his Gundam frame. "Yeah, the crescent moon," Mika responded, a hint of sentimentality in his usually reserved voice.

As Barbatos and Ogre continued their descent, the transport plane's passengers watched in awe, their fears replaced by a sense of wonder and hope. It was a powerful and symbolic moment, marking their arrival on Earth and the resilience of Tekkadan in the face of adversity.

The transport plane gently touched down near the picturesque shoreline of the beach. As the engines powered down and the passengers prepared to disembark, a sense of wonder and relief washed over them. They had finally arrived on the planet Earth, a place of legendary beauty and significance.

The crew and Tekkadan members eagerly made their way out of their respective mobile suits, their feet touching the Earth's soil for the first time in a while. The warm, golden sand welcomed them as they stepped onto the beach, and the sound of the gentle waves crashing against the shore filled the air.

Atra couldn't help but smile as she breathed in the fresh sea breeze. She turned to Kudelia, who was standing beside her, and said, "Kudelia, this is Earth. It's even more beautiful than I imagined."

Kudelia nodded, her eyes sparkling with appreciation. "It truly is, Atra. Now we're here."

Ichiro, Mika, and Bladwin were also taking in the breathtaking scenery. Ichiro, with his usual air of calm, commented, "Earth has a different kind of beauty. It's a nice change from the endless space battles."

Mika, who was standing beside him, simply nodded in agreement, his gaze fixed on the horizon.

Bladwin, who had a more carefree demeanor, grinned and said, "I could get used to this. We should take a break."

As the crew members began unloading their equipment from the transport plane, Orga approached the group. He wore a contented smile as he surveyed the surroundings. "This is it, everyone. We're finally here. Let's take this moment to rest and recharge. We've earned it."

With the sea breeze gently tousling their hair, the Tekkadan members and their allies took a moment to appreciate the beauty and tranquility of Earth. It was a well-deserved respite after their long and arduous journey through space.
