Tiffa and Garrod were walking shoulder to shoulder on the street, curiously looking around. Both grew up in the destroyed world, and such highly developed civilized cities existed only in stories for them, so they couldn't help but often run out to shop.
"It's awfully quiet." Garrod whispered to the girl beside him, "There aren't many people in the city, unlike the moon cities."
"Hmm." Tiffa nodded, "They say that Coordinators have a small population."
Garrod rubbed the back of his head and gave a silly smile, "It doesn't matter anymore, does it?"
Tiffa covered her mouth and laughed lightly, "You're in a good mood."
"Of course!" Garrod looked energetic, "Everyone in the colony will start a new life, Relena-sama was saved, and Zala-san is working so hard. I gotta do my best, too!"
"Yeah. Everything we've built up so far wasn't for nothing, and from now on, as long as we don't stop—" Halfway through the sentence, Tiffa's voice stopped abruptly, and the NT radar in her mind alarmed frantically, "Garrod, there's danger! "
A black limousine at the end of the street suddenly came towards the two. Garrod immediately picked up Tiffa and ran towards the crowd. The car drove onto the sidewalk, a scattering of passersby screamed and scattered, and three men in black with sunglasses came out of the limousine. The men in black quickly rushed to the two. Garrod helplessly put down Tiffa and went to fight them.
Although Garrod's fighting skill is not bad, he is no match for these men in black, who had taken years of formal military training. In a few rounds, he was knocked to the ground and Tiffa was grabbed by the group into the black limousine.
"Tiffa!" The black limousine drove far away from Garrod's sight. He desperately ran after it while taking out his cell phone to call Ade, "Can't get through?! What is the doctor doing!"
People can't outrun cars. Soon after, the black limousine had disappeared from his view. Just as his heart was racing, he suddenly heard a familiar voice in his head, "Garrod, we're heading for the port."
"Tiffa, Tiffa?" He tried to shout out in his consciousness, but received no response, and combined with his past experience, he immediately responded that this was a one-way communication, "The port, I see!"
While Garrod was still on the road, Tiffa had told him she had been taken aboard a warship, into the universe. Garrod ran to the port, showed his papers, and quickly found Ade's ship. It was the armed freighter that Ade had privately converted, and to ensure the safety of the party, Villkiss and DX were inside, with some staff currently remaining on board.
"Garrod, why are you here?" A staff member on the ship was the first to spot him and asked jokingly, "How rare it is, Tiffa is not with you?"
"No time to explain!" Garrod said hurriedly with a nervous look on his face, "Please inform the bridge that DX is leaving immediately! Thanks a lot, little brother!"
"What's the situation?" The man saw Garrod run away before he could finish his sentence, and shrugged helplessly, "Ok, I don't care. I'm just a jobber, just do what I'm told to do."
Garrod came to the hangar, put on his pilot's suit, then impatiently jumped into the cockpit of Gundam DX. At this time, his body has been sweating through, "Tiffa, wait for me, I will save you out!"
On the other hand, Tiffa was taken to a battleship and was currently, sitting in the bridge, listening to the group of people arguing around her.
"Glemy Toto, why did you start it earlier?!" A middle-aged man in Senator's clothes was scolding Glemy, "The perfect plan is now all ruined by you! Haman isn't even dead! Now we have to suffer her wrath, don't you know how terrible that woman is?"
"That's right, we shouldn't have pushed a bad guy like you into power!" Another man in a military uniform agreed, "You're so much worse than Char!"
"It's just a change from a peaceful evolution to a civil war, what's the point of panicking?" Glemy's face was full of disdain, "We have no disadvantage in terms of strength, so we can turn around and counterattack as soon as we reunite with the main force, and directly capture the capital. The result is the same."
"The problem is that now Lingus is also involved." Another pot-bellied man interjected, "The moon won't just see us do it. You don't forget how Genesis is gone, do you?"
"So we have the hostage here." Glemy gestured to Tiffa, "Don't worry, I have the perfect plan."
"Bullshit!" The group chattered and bickered again.
Tiffa listened to their argument expressionlessly, with no fear on her face, because she was always confident that someone would come to save her. After some more time, she finally felt that familiar awareness, and regretted that she couldn't talk in his head like she did with Mr. Ade. Thinking about that, she blushed slightly again.
"Garrod." She murmured, "I'm here."
A dozen seconds later, a startled cry from the CIC personnel rang out from the bridge, "High energy response approaching—"
Before the CIC personnel finished his words, a thick beam of light grazed the left side of the battleship as everyone looked on in shock. It took several seconds for the light to dissipate, but the other ships that should have existed on the left side seemed to have vanished into thin air.
"Terrible…"
"What is it, Genesis?"
The ship instantly blew out and everyone argued again until the CIC personnel interrupted everyone in a loud voice, "There is a message, the other side ordered us to immediately hand over Tiffa, otherwise, the second shot will be targeting the ships on our right side."
"Glemy, look at what you've done!" The Senator roared, "It must be Lingus' superweapon! It's over, it's all fucking over!"
"There's no way a barrage of that power could be fired in quick succession." Glemy was calm as hell, "Disengage at full speed, don't stop."
Thinking about Genesis, everyone thought he was right. Unfortunately, not long later —
"High energy response approaching!" Accompanied by the CIC personal's voice, another giant beam grazed past from the right side, and the right group of ships disappeared without a trace.
"Telegraph, hand over Tiffa to me and I will let you go, or the third shot will aim at —"
"Tell him to hand her over! Immediately!" A senior officer pulled out a pistol and pointed it excitedly at Glemy's head, "From now on, you don't say anything!"
Glemy gave a displeased "tsk" and looked to Tiffa, "Is that a friend of yours?"
Tiffa smiled sweetly, "Boyfriend."
With the ship personnel's arranging, Tiffa put on a pilot's suit and be shoved into a spherical escape pod and launched. Taking this chance, Glemy and the others drove the ship at full speed to run away. Guided by Tiffa, Garrod successfully found the escape pod that was left behind.
"Tiffa!" Garrod opened the cockpit door and picked Tiffa up as well, "Are you okay?"
Tiffa smiled and shook her head.
"That's good, just wait for me." He maneuvered Gundam DX towards the fleet at full speed, "There's one more thing left to do, I'll go back as soon as it's done."
Tiffa thought for a moment before understanding what he was going to do, "Didn't you say to let go of them?"
"The doctor taught me that there's no need to keep faith when the other side is bad guys." He found a suitable sniper spot, stopped in place. As the two cannons charged and aimed, Garrod pulled the trigger with no hesitation, "Farewell."
The distant ship turned into the dust of the universe in the dazzling light, and Glemy Toto lost his love and life forever.
