Chapter 15: No Reward for First Kill
0
Inle’s huge body advanced at high speed in the vacuum, its pitch-black fuselage almost merging with the background color of the universe. The cockpit was silent, each breath under Ade’s helmet inciting anxiety.
0
Ade was wondering if he was too impulsive to drive Inle out this time, simply not in line with his personal style. Due to the presence of Moonlight Butterfly, he himself had no sense of crisis on the moon. But it’s different when he went out alone. People die when they are killed, this truth doesn’t need to be taught.

But what else could he do? Watch C.C. being taken captive and turn around and try to find another way after running away? Having known her for so many years, Ade just can’t do this. Although he had reported the ship hijacking to the lunar government, he couldn’t rely everything on them and do nothing. Now there are only Alice and him.

Ade continuously breathed deeply for moderate tension helps to focus attention. He has a clear understanding of his own level. With Inle and Alice, he has the confidence to fight no matter who it is. Even if he is no match for the enemies, with TR-4 Dandelion’s speed, it’s not a problem to run away.

“Detected high concentration of Minovsky particle reaction at the edge of the radar. At our speed, expect to encounter the enemy in thirty seconds.” Alice’s voice snapped him out of his thoughts, “Ade, your heart rate and body temperature are a little slightly elevated, want to put on some music to relax?”
0
“You’re too dutiful a music player.” He couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “You’re right, I’m a little nervous. Let me see.”

The enemy is Britannia, crap, there is no music from “CODE GEASS Lelouch of the Rebellion”. Ade flipped through his song list and discovered his major mistake. Forget it, since I’m driving a Gundam, this one would be fine. He played “SALLY” and set it to a single cycle. Listening to the song, the slightly aggressive rhythm naturally regulated his mood, and the familiar tune gave him a feeling that he was on the home turf.

It felt good.

“Ade, the enemy will enter our sight in ten seconds.” Alice’s voice sounded a little nervous, “Five, four, three, two, one!”

As Alice said, the huge passenger spaceship appeared in Ade’s sight. Five ZakuⅡs floated around the spaceship on guard. Even in the face of the unarmed civilian spaceship, the five ZakuⅡs still maintained a squad formation to look out for each other, indicating that they were well-trained soldiers. The spaceship did not move in place, could it mean that they haven’t found C.C.? Wait, where are these second-hand ZakuⅡs from? Does Britannia have Zaku? Oh, they may want to hide their identity in this way. In that case, the enemy is not expected to send out too many combatants.

“Ade, look at the radar!” Alice marked on the edge of the map, “I detected two battleships without identification signal here. The enemy should have spotted us as well.”
0
As if to confirm Alice’s words, the opposite ZakuⅡs seemed to have no desire to negotiate, two of them began to cover firing, while the other three approached Inle directly at high speed. Behind the Zakus is the spaceship, which invalidated Inle’s greatest advantage – long-range firepower. And the enemy still has three battleships, which means that they may send reinforcements at any time. Ade decided to solve the Zakus in front of him as soon as possible.

“Alice, detach Ferber.” Inle retreated with irregular maneuvers while quickly taking off the huge fire parts in the upper part of the fuselage, and Ferber flew into the distance under Alice’s remote control. The Inle now looked like a robot riding on a huge flying mount.

Ade maneuvered Inle along an arc. He approached the three approaching Zakus from the side while trying to target one of them with the long-bladed rifle on one side of Hyzenthlays’ flanks. But avoiding shots from afar while trying to avoid the passenger spaceship made aiming very difficult. The opponent seemed to know that Ade was afraid to hit the spaceship, no matter how much Ade adjusted his position, they always tried to keep Zakus between the spaceship and Inle.
0
The distance between Inle and the three Zakus shrank dramatically with the speed visible to the naked eye, Ade still held the rifle’s trigger tightly and waited patiently for the right moment. Finally, the distance between the two sides was close enough to initiate a charge, the distant support fire finally stopped to avoid injuring friendly troops. Taking the chance Inle was close fighting the three Zakus, the other two also approached quickly.
0
At this distance, Zakus can not keep up with the speed of Inle! As TR-4 Dandelion turned the direction of the thrusters, Inle circled around the three Zakus at high speed. The huge inertial force makes Ade’s body cling to the side of the driving suit, and the fixed belt on the seat strangled the body tightly.
0
Finally, a Zaku appeared in the rifle’s sighting telescope. It is now! The muzzle of the long-bladed rifle emitted a dazzling light, and the ion beam rushed out, directly piercing the Zaku’s cockpit.

It’s said that the first killing of humans would make people feel guilt and sick. Ade had not had time to experience it, and the two remaining Zakus, as if oblivious to the death of their comrades, had rushed to Inle. Ade desperately moved to the left flank of the two Zakus, while using the Vulcan cannon on Inle’s head to fire at the one that was farther away, barely pulling the distance between the two Zakus and Inle to avoid being pinned down by them.
0
In the blink of an eye, the closer Zaku was already in front of him. Ade raised the long-bladed rifle that had not yet cooled in his left hand, and the huge rifle body was used as a shield to block the oncoming Heat Hawk, while his right hand drew his beam saber under the cover of the huge shield. The Zaku was slightly shaken back by the long-bladed rifle. The moment the gun was lowered, the beam saber broke through Zaku’s weak armor and pierced into the cockpit. In the saber’s high-energy particle beam, the pilot directly vaporized.
