Chapter 108: No Good End for Those Who Steal the Show
Ade is in an out-of-body-like state, not knowing where he is or what's happening outside. Here the five senses do not work, and the NT's senses are the only way to perceive. Yang Wen-li and Embryo were right beside him, but no fourth consciousness existed beyond that.
"Has everyone gone back?" Ade understood all this by intuition, and a feeling of emptiness came over him, "Never to see each other again, right?"
"It's time for me to go too, it's really the last time." Yang Wen-li was a little reluctant, "After that, you are alone, no more of such a convenient cheat."
"Who told you that I am alone? You think I'm the same as an indecisive guy like you?" Ade laughed, "Do you want to hear the story of me being stabbed by C.C.?"
"Holy crap, what's that?!" Yang Wen-li was instantly energized, "Please be detailed!"
"Why don't I just tell you from the beginning?" Ade also came to be interested, "It was in U.C. 0080, when the One Year War just finished…"
…
"Then I told Creuset, 'who knows what you are saying?!'"
"Crap, you're so good at it."
"Garrod showed me that music video you made for Relena, you are the one who is good at it."
"Bullshit, I'm not as good at it as you are."
"Bullshit, I'm not as good at it as you are."
…
"You designed F91? Awesome, you are super awesome!"
"How can I be compared with you? You've got NT-D before you've even seen NT, you are far better than me."
"No, no, you're better."
"No, no, no, still you are better."
…
"Then Lacus slept with me, I have to say, the Coordinator's physique is really good."
"Why do I feel like it was always the girls who took initiative?
"Actually, the reason you're single is mainly that Teletha didn't take the initiative to sleep with you."
"I suddenly feel it makes sense."
…
"So, father-in-law, please accept me, son-in-law's obeisance."
"Crap! You were too much!"
"Are you in the position to scold me? What the hell was giving Ruri a bath yourself?"
"How dare you say you haven't given Mineva a bath?"
"Mineva is seven years old and Ruri is a teenager, can it be the same?!"
…
"Wait, how come it's just the two of us?" Yang Wen-li suddenly responded, "Where is Embryo he? Where did he go?"
"He found that he can't intervene in the conversation, so he went back bored." When Embryo left, Ade was aware of it, but he didn't say anything, "It's okay, he will come back to you when he finishes his final arrangements. This person is true love for you, get ready for it."
"Final arrangements?" Yang Wen-li was astonished, "So he's not dead?"
"Of course he's not dead, don't you know?" Ade understood after a moment's thought, "Right, these are Treize's last words, so you don't know it. He uploaded his consciousness to the PM, and he has always used an artificial body to move around. This is the reason he doesn't afraid of death, and he thought I did not know it."
"Then why are you still talking bullshits with me here?! Why don't you hurry back to face the final BOSS's second form?" Yang Wen-li was anxious, "How to fight the PM? I don't have a clue, are you prepared?"
"Why are you so rigid in your thinking?" Ade said hatefully, "My whole plan is to use the moonlight cannon to beat him until his soul is out of his body, and then use Unicorn Gundam to make him see you. He has such deep feelings for you that he will naturally martyr himself to you, why should I fight him for the second time? Besides, nobody likes to see such an unprepossessing BOSS repeatedly appear, OK?"
"I—" Yang Wen-li almost scolded, "What the hell kind of plan is that?"
"I'm a researcher, I use my brain to fight." Ade had a matter-of-fact tone, "Or what? Rush up and fight him for 300 rounds? Even Amuro can't beat him, can I?"
"That's true. Even Treize didn't beat him, you have no chance to defeat him." Yang Wen-li sighed, "By the way, how's it going out there, is it okay?"
"Amuro and others are all around, my body and Unicorn should have been recovered, right?" Ade replied without thinking, "It doesn't feel like it's been long, it's fine, let's keep talking."
…
Dr. Lingus' search and rescue operation has been going on for three days.
The search and rescue operation was centered on Iserlohn, and Ange was solely responsible for it. Originally, they were extremely short of manpower, Ange then looked for help from the girls of Arsenal. As expected, the girls of the island have responded positively. Unfortunately, the big fish disappeared with no trace after that. Some guessed that it had dived to the bottom of the sea, some guessed that it had swum to other water areas.
At this time, a cabin on the ship.
"Back? Are you just going to give up?" Ange looked at C.C. and Lacus incredulously, "It's only been three days, it's still too early to give up, right? That's Ade! It's absolutely impossible to give up before seeing the body, right?"
"I can understand your feelings, but to be honest, I'm getting used to this kind of thing." C.C. was lying lazily on the bed, "How many times? Die, come back to life, die, come back to life, die over again, come back to life again."
"It's just simply torturing the person left behind, right?" Lacus was a bit depressed, "Or is it that as long as I am repeatedly tortured like this, I will start to feel that I am lucky enough as long as he lives, and I will become accustomed to everything he does?"
"The scariest thing is that I'm really starting to think that way." C.C. sighed, "He'll come back in six months or a year with a new woman by his side. I might think by then that it's good for him to come back alive, and I don't care who this woman is."
"Get him back if you don't want that to happen!" Ange raised her voice in discontent, "Hurry up! Just get him back before anything happens, what can be done if you guys just stay in the room and complain?"
"You can't just go and act, and you can't just act and get results." Lacus patiently explained, "There are many things to consider, first of all, we are still nominally on the territory of another country, and secondly, the moon also needs—"
"Yes, yes, yes, you're smarter than me. I'm so dumb, I can't think that much." Ange interrupted her impatiently, "What the hell is that sea monster and why is it eating Ade? C.C., do you know something?"
"Why do you ask that?" C.C. raised an eyebrow.
"You're the only one who's been acting the calmest." Ange recalled carefully, "Is that thing an angel? I remember Ade seems to have told me, there is a sea angel, and it's called … is called Gaghiel?"
"How does he know?" C.C. sat up from the bed at once, "No, how does he tell you everything?!"
"Because I believe everything he tells me." Ange grunted, "You guys are too smart."
"Gaghiel indeed." C.C. whispered, "But the angel's target should be Embryo only, I don't know why it would attack Ade. Maybe this angel has a lower IQ and took Ade for Embryo? In any case, for now we haven't found Adam, the angel is not supposed to appear. I have no clue."
"You know it? Why didn't you say it earlier?" Ange's big eyes glared at C.C., "Wasting everyone's time for a few days."
"What can we do if I say it?" C.C. asked rhetorically, "What can you do with an angel? No matter how weak and how useless it is, it's an angel. What can you do to it?"
"Find it, punch it to death, and save Ade. So what if it's an angel? Even if it's a god, I'll kill it for Ade!" Ange turned around and left, "I'll go by myself if you don't want to, I can get Ade back by myself. Momoka, let's go."
"Yes, Your Highness Angelise!" The maid bowed to the two in the room and turned to follow Ange out, "Your Highness Angelise is so cool!"
Everyone was sent out on a search mission, the ship was empty, and the master and servant walked towards the hangar.
"The stab Ade suffered was really not worth it." Ange complained along the way, "Those two women are even worse than Alice, they only know to act as if they have reasons, who don't have a reason? Is that an excuse?"
"That's why I said that politician and old witch are unreliable, and he didn't believe me. It seems that only you are different, worthy of being Yang's daughter."
"Who?!" Ange alertly turned around in a defensive stance, and Momoka reflexively shielded herself in front of Ange. "Em, em, Embryo? Aren't you dead?!"
"It wasn't long ago that I said something very rude about you to him, and although I can't repeat it, please allow me to apologize." Embryo bowed gracefully, "I do not ask for your forgiveness, for my days are numbered."
"What is the situation?" Ange looked confused, "Why are you here? What do you want?"
"It's complicated to explain, you can simply understand that I'm going to find Yang soon, but before that, I need to get Yang's son-in-law out of there, otherwise, he won't forgive me." Embryo pointed at Ange, "By the way, teach Yang's daughter how to use Villkiss so that I can gain more goodwill from him."
"Momoka, my IQ is not enough." Ange poked the maid lady with her elbow, "Hurry up and translate it for me."
"He said he's going to teach Her Highness Angelise how to use Villkiss, and he's going to rescue Ade-san!" Momoka showed an excited expression, "Your Highness, can we trust him?"
"You don't have to trust me, I'll do it for you." Embryo strides ahead, "I've already put Villkiss in the hangar for you, you'll see it soon."
The two of them followed Embryo suspiciously to the hangar, and Villkiss was indeed parked inside. In addition to Villkiss, there was a black PM Ange had never seen before. Embryo rolled over and jumped on the black PM. The maid lady opened the door of the hangar, and Ange hesitated for a moment and decided to take a ride on Villkiss alone.
"This is something I prepared for Yang, and it ended up being used by his daughter to save his son-in-law, which is some kind of fate." Embryo started the PM and slowly sailed away from the warship, "I'm having trouble defining exactly what the identity of Lingus is now, but you have to protect him no matter what."
"I will protect Ade without you saying so." Ange followed him, "What exactly is the use of Villkiss? Compared to those MSs, it has no combat power at all, right?"
"No combat power at all?" As if he had heard some kind of cold joke, Embryo sneered, "This is the crystallization of my thousand years of wisdom, the machine that I have painstakingly built for Yang, how can it have no combat power?"
"You really are a faggot …" Ange whispered in a small voice.
"Even a weak man like Yang can easily use its field, even someone with little jumper talent like Yang can easily use its fifth-generation boson jumping system, not to mention its ultimate weapon, the Space Time Convergence Cannon, which can be easily used by singing the same song with me." Embryo paused for a moment, "This last one is temporarily unusable due to Yang's encryption, and I don't know the password. But Yang is worthy of being Yang, only he can crack my system, and only he can make a system that I can't crack."
"It's great that Ade is not Dr. Yang." Ange breathed a sigh of relief, "You're even scarier than Alice."
"Transform it." Said the black PM and turned into a human form, "Let me show you Villkiss' true power."
Ange transformed Villkiss, and followed immediately by a startled cry, "What's that extra thing on Villkiss?"
"To make up for not being able to use the Space Time Convergence Cannon, I've loaded all the beam shields, beam sabers, and beam rifles from my hull onto Villkiss." Embryo explained, "You have to protect him with these weapons."
"Please, just get to Dr. Yang." Ange muttered in a low voice, "I'm afraid you can't resist taking Ade to quench your thirst."
A few hours later, thousands of miles away in the Pacific Ocean, two PMs rushed into the sea, one after the other, and dived downward without hesitation.
"Surprisingly, it really doesn't leak!" Ange looked at the so-called "airtight field" with amazement, "Ade and I always thought Villkiss' cockpit was not airtight, and he always complained about the cold. Well, I'd rather not tell him that it has this feature, it is also good to let him blow the wind."
"Of course it won't leak." Embryo felt extremely speechless, "PM's airtight field can protect the pilot in a vacuum, deep sea, very low temperature, and very high temperature, this is the PM made to explore the new world. The reason why it is not fully enclosed is to facilitate eye contact between pilots."
"No, I can't take it anymore." Ange only feel a tightness in her chest and shortness of breath, nausea and regurgitation, "Ade, help me."
"Attention, it's coming."
The bottom of the sea was pitch black, all lights were from the PM's own luminous lighting. After a while, Ange finally vaguely saw a huge shadow in the distance. It is Gaghiel.
"This size is a bit scary." Ange felt slightly nervous, "The bottom of the sea is its home turf, is it better for us to lure it to the surface to fight?"
"Even if the strength of your soul is not enough for you to sense the angel's emotions, you can analyze it by observing its subtle movements." Embryo was unusually calm, "The other side is panicking right now."
As soon as they talked, Gagiel opened its bloody mouth and rushed over. Ange looked at Embryo's indifferent look and directly rushed to Gagiel's mouth. The resistance of the seawater seems to have no effect on Villkiss, the PM's movement is smooth and natural without a hint of obstruction, easily breaking through the critical distance of AT field.
Out of her expectations, Gagiel's upper and lower jaws closed with unimaginable speed, and Villkiss was about to be torn in two by its sharp teeth. Ange pulled out the beam saber in the nick of time and thrust it toward the teeth above. The seawater around the saber evaporated under the heat, then the saber cut through the angel's sharp teeth like cutting mud, and Villkiss took advantage of this gap to rush straight in. For the PM, which was just under eight meters tall, there was plenty of room to move around in the fish-like angel's mouth.
"Unicorn?" Ange was surprised to find Ade's Gundam in the depths of the mouth, "What kind of fish is this, one with only a mouth and no digestive organs?"
Then Ange found a small red orb not far behind Unicorn, embedded in the angel's throat, which was unusually conspicuous under the reflection of Villkiss's light. As if sensing danger, Gagiel also twisted its body desperately, and Ange was flung around in the fish-like angel's mouth.
"This angel is even dumber than me." Ange smiled triumphantly, "You're acting too obvious, obviously that's the weakness!"
Ange controlled her balance for a moment, lifted the beam saber and stabbed at the red orb. This thing was quite hard, and it took Ange a lot of stabbing to make a crack. Whenever this thing was attacked, the angel struggled frantically until Ange finally burst it after a lot of effort, and the fish-like angel's movements only gradually stopped.
"Oh no, what if the mouth doesn't open after it dies?" Ange found herself being carried to the bottom of the sea by the angel's corpse and called out in a panic.
"Jump with it." Embryo's voice rang out on the channel.
Ange put away the beam saber and dashed towards Unicorn, Villkiss' body glowed with blue light, and the two machines suddenly disappeared in place at the moment of contact.
Thousands of miles away in the Atlantic Ocean, Villkiss was floating in the air, holding Unicorn which was twice as big as itself.
"You can already protect him, and I can go to see Yang without regrets." Embryo's voice was slightly sad, "Please tell Lingus for me to thank him for everything he has done for me."
"Wait, what did Ade do for you?" The black PM disappeared before Ange got an answer, and Ange shouted, "Don't you run, explain to me clearly!"
When Ange returned to Iserlohn with Unicorn, she was greeted by smiling Momoka and shocked Lacus.
"How is it possible …" C.C. felt her worldview collapse, "What the hell have I been doing … "
"The only bad news is Ade seems to be asleep." Ange held Ade out from the cockpit out in front of others, "Alice said that he had been this way after the battle that day. Will he never be able to wake up?"
"Shut up." Alice protested loudly, "Ade said that you are not allowed to make FLAGs."
At this moment, somewhere in the middle of an unnameable space.
"Huh, Embryo, you're back?"
"I can leave with you without regret this time. Please don't mind me, you two continue."
"Yes, yes, don't interrupt, continue. Just now, we talked about Leonard raiding your institute and Treize and Teletha happened to be away, then what happened?"
"And then Leonard took me away. I spent months to gain his good sense, and that was pretty difficult."
"There is no end to it? Why did you get taken away again? You were kidnapped by Chang Wufei just before, right?"
"They all want to catch me, what can I do?"
