Fishing Time

On Archangel's bridge, the tasks that given to Murrue, Badgiruel and others which is to abandon their comrades and left alone making their helplessness and somewhat low spirit. However, a text message uploaded from the Menelaos made Murrue and Badgiruel stood up instantly, and at the same time showed an expression of incredible surprise.

"Rebellion!?" Murrue slapped hard on the armrest and shouted in a panic: "I'll contact the Menelaos and have a direct conversation with General Halberton!"

The intelligence controller Dalida, who is trying to contact the Menelaos, also answered aloud with an anxious expression: "There is no way to contact the Menelaos, the other party It has unilaterally cut off all communications to the Archangel."

After hearing Dalida's answer, Murrue had become a dizzy: "Turn the rudder 180 degrees and head towards the Menelaos. We will go to the Menelaos for the support!"

Murrue's order made everyone on the bridge stunned, especially the helmsman, who looked at Murrue with a stunning look.

"Damn it!" Badgiruel clenched her fists tightly and turned her head towards Murrue: "Captain, calm down, we're useless to stay here! It will only become a drag on the entire Eighth Fleet. You must not turn the rudder at this time and let the sacrifice of the soldiers in vain!"

"But General Halberton..." Murrue lowered her head and said softly with a trembling voice: "Are we acting like we haven't seen it and run away?"

Badgiruel bit her teeth and walked in front of Murrue, slowing his voice a little: "Captain, this is not an escape. Our departure is also officially to save them. Only when we leave ZAFT, they will stop the attack. General Halberton also had the opportunity to mobilize personnel to suppress the rebels."

Murrue didn't understand the current situation. She couldn't accept that she had to face the offensive of her own while fighting the enemy, which made her too unacceptable. After silent for a long time, Murrue looked up to the big battleship that has moved slowly and blocked the huge warship behind the Archangel. She took a deep breath: "Departed from the battlefield with maximum speed and began to calculate the descending orbit. Tell the hangar to completed all the works in the shortest time and notified every personnel to be ready to descend on Earth."

The unanimous words sounded inside the bridge: "Yes."

Miriallia, sitting in the CIC position, also sent these messages to Xiao Ran and Kira simultaneously.

"The rebellion occurred in Menelaos; the military officer and landing force were completely irresistible. The rebels are moving towards the bridge, and they decided to block attacks on the direction of the Archangel before the rebels arrived. Menelaos asking Archangel to accelerated and left the battlefield immediately and descend to the Earth."

"The Archangel is ready to land on the Earth instantly. Strike Gundam must not be too far away from the ship. Lightning Ginn is ready to return at any time."

Xiao Ran, who was driving Lightning Ginn saw the message from Miriallia after he broke a Ginn that had entered the Menelaos. After reading this message, Xiao Ran just sighed and shook his head, but there was no slight surprise at all about the occurrence of this thing.

It seems that as long as this battle area will receive the same faction mission, it is not only the four participants on the Menelaos who have received the system-prompted mission, but Xiao Ran also received the same mission.

However, although Xiao Ran has directly rejected the first mission so far, he is hesitant on the second mission. It's because he knows that the Eighth Fleet will be wiped out here, and he is facing more than in the original plot. The total power of ZAFT is completely unquestionable because the person in charge is Creuset, who is trying to provoke a greater war. He is good at not letting such an opportunity to making Zaft attract hatred again. To not wipe out the Eighth Fleet is not Creuset's fighting style. Therefore, Xiao Ran did not hesitate to reject.

But for the second mission, Xiao Ran's hesitation was not without reason. After receiving the message from Miriallia, he understood what was going on the Menelaos. The four participants under surveillance should have received the same task. For the Class C Mecha Construction Material, they are ready to take Halberton away so that they will head towards the bridge. Initially, Xiao Ran still hesitating whether to refuse the mission. Yet, after seeing the message from Miriallia, explaining that the military police and landing troops were not even their opponents at all, Xiao Ran decided to accept the task. After all, everyone wants to enjoy the free benefits of the fisherman.

In Xiao Ran's mind, he also felt that those participants could take Halberton out of the battleship and escape from this area. After all, judging by the circumstances of meeting other participants in the previous two, the abilities of the participants seem to be a bit weird. They can see at a glance who is the Coordinator and who is the participant of the Natural, and the bald participant who can't wear bullets. Therefore, Xiao Ran believes that the people in Menelaos are the participants that may also have other capabilities to ensure that they can complete the task. Otherwise, they will not make such a move.

Although the mission did not prompt any punishment for failure, Xiao Ran did not believe that there was no punishment after the mission failed. However, after thinking about it, Xiao Ran still bite his teeth and accepted the faction secondary mission. Because, compared with the unknown failure punishment, the reward of the task makes people feel very exciting.

Looking up at the slow battleship that blocking the back of the Archangel, it also blocking the direct path of the enemy's pursuit and attack. It also stopped Xiao Ran from continuing to shoot the possible Menelaos towards the centre of the battle. Xiao Ran narrowed his eyes:

"Accept Faction Secondary Mission!"

==================================================================================

"Faction Secondary Mission accepted."

"You must protect Admiral Halberton and ensure his safety until the end of the battle."

"Once the mission is completed, you will be reward Class C Mecha Construction material."

"If the mission fails, you will be expelled by the Earth Alliance, and they will join forces with the ZAFT to chase you."

==================================================================================

"Fuuu…" Xiao Ran whistled softly, and finally he was relieved. Unexpectedly, the punishment for the failure of the mission would be expulsion and then pursued collectively by the two camps. This is not a big deal for Xiao Ran at all. After all, his final camp goal is not Earth Alliance or the Archangel, but Orb, specifically the Three Ships Alliance. When he joins the Orb or the Three Ships Alliance, he will be pursued by both sides anyway. This punishment is a small matter to him.

After taking over the mission, Xiao Ran turned his head to look at the Duel, Buster and Strike Gundam. After pushing and pulling the operating lever, Lightning Ginn raised his arm in the direction of the Buster Gundam, which was a shot. Immediately, a series of red-light beams that were faster than before were swept toward the Buster up and down.

"Is that guy crazy?" Dearka sat in the cockpit and kept operating the Buster up to avoid the attack of Lightning Ginn. He found that the shooting frequency of Lightning Ginn was three times faster than before. At one time, he had no time to avoid these attacks alone, and he simply did not care about fighting support for the Duel Gundam in the distance.

Because of a series of non-stop high-frequency shooting, Lightning Ginn gradually heats up because the steel makes the pulse gun. Even the muzzle slowly turns red; Xiao Ran did not stop the shooting. After firing more than a dozen shots, the safety trigger was finally released under the alarm in the cockpit. At this time, the Buster was far away because of the lightning Ginn.

Looking at the far-reaching Buster Gundam in the screen, Xiao Ran directly pressed the communication button: "Archangel, I cannot attack anymore, lightning Ginn request to return."

"Lightning Ginn is allowed to return, please return from the first ejection port."

"Received." Hang up the communication. Xiao Ran operates Lightning Ginn to unplugs the power supply connected to the Impulse Cannon. The kicker behind his legs kicks in and starts to fly away to the Archangel quickly. After traversing long distance in front of the Archangel, he flew to the catapult that Archangel had opened after an arcing turn. At the moment he flew into the catapult, Lightning Ginn activate the deceleration jets all over the body and finally the resistance band that hit the inside of the Archangel stopped.

Just after getting off from Lightning Ginn, the light waves of the entire ship rang within the Archangel: "The Archangel is about to enter the gravity range of the Earth orbit completely. Please prepare for the descent immediately after the work is completed. Ginn's containment must complete within three minutes, and the descending process will begin in five minutes."

Xiao Ran left from Lightning Ginn, and watched a staff member wearing yellow costumes jump out from everywhere, and he could hear Corporal Murdoch's loud voice shouting, "Everyone, fixed the Ginn quickly!"
