Not Super Robot Wars at All

Chapter 98: Everyone's Justice

"You said Leonard gave you this thing, saying it contained incomplete information about the reactor and -drive?" Ade shook the data disk Ange handed him in his hand, "What else did he say? Any strange behavior?"

"No, nothing more." Ange's eyes wandered, somewhat soulfully, "He just threw this at me and then ran away, I didn't even react."

"Ange, look me in the eyes." He cupped the young girl's face and locked eyes with her, "Tell me, what else did he say?"

"Nothing more, really!" Ange misplaced her eyes with his and squinted at the wall, "You, you have to believe me, I, I wouldn't lie to you."

"Friday, you suck at lying." Ade sighed, "The enemy is strong, every clue is critical now. Tell me, what else did he say?"

"I said nothing else he said! Are you not believing me!" Ange shouted and slapped his hand away in annoyance, but did not control her strength, only to hear a "pop" in the air, then a red mark appeared on Ade's arm. Ange hurriedly held her fist with her other hand, shook her head and took two steps back, "Sorry, I'm sorry, Ade, I, I didn't mean to do that."

"I don't blame you, it doesn't hurt at all." He did not rashly go forward to stimulate her, just stood still and let his tone be as gentle as possible, "Did something happen that you could not solve? I'm so smart, tell me and I'll be able to fix it."

Ange only lowered her head and shook, did not speak.

At that moment, the building underfoot shuddered slightly, and at almost the same moment, a loud bang came from outside. Ade pulled Ange to move out of the room. The young girl hesitated, picked up Ade and ran outside of the building.

Halfway, they met Salamandinay who came to meet them, and she looked curiously at their peculiar posture for a few more moments, but did not comment. After that, Salamandinay took them to take refuge with the inhabitants of the colony, explaining to them on the way, "It's an enemy attack, grandpa and Garrod will figure it out."

Ade nodded without saying much. He probably guessed what was happening, but explaining at a time like this would only put Ange in a bad position. Chang Wufei, as Leonard's former teammate, knew better than he did how to handle the situation, and didn't need him to tell him what to do.

The colony was built on top of a vault located underground. When Salamandinay led him and Ange to it, the other inhabitants of the colony were entering in a skillful and orderly manner. This vault was completed and large, it's obvious that when Relena established the colony in this place, she thought it out well.

A few moments later, Ade and Ange were led to a place similar to a surveillance room, through which the monitor could see what was happening outside, Tiffa was already waiting here. The black Gundam he had never seen before appeared on the screen, but he could tell at once that it was Leonard's Arios Gundam comparing it with the information he knew.

But Leonard just gave Ange the technical information, and immediately attacked here, Ade completely doesn't understand what he wants. And he is now just floating quietly in the air, as if waiting for something to come out.

"Grandpa, everyone and the doctor have finished evacuating." Salamandinay said into the communication device, "You can start now."

"Well done." Chang Wufei opened the channel and made a final confirmation, "Garrod, this is not an exercise. Answer me, what is your justice?"

"My justice is to protect Tiffa!" Garrod on DX shouted nervously. This was the first time he had officially fought a powerful enemy since he got DX, having only dealt with looters in broken MSs before.

"Protecting women is the prerogative of the strong, the weak are not qualified to speak such justice, you remember that." Chang Wufei gripped the joystick in his hand and Altron Gundam rose from the ground, "Long time waiting, Nataku, it's finally our turn to make an appearance again."

"Grandpa, you are so old, are you really okay?" DX hurriedly followed behind, with the standard beam rifle plus a solid shield on its arms, "Your bones won't break in the fight, will it?"

"I feel like I've heard this somewhere." Ade listened to the chat on the public channel, "These two may also have a common hobby?"

Chang Wufei did not answer Garrod's meaningless question, took a stick and rushed towards Arios Gundam. The particle streams at the ends of the stick formed the appearance of a trident under the wrapping of some kind of field. Arios Gundam finally reacted by drawing its beam saber, which turned on silently in just a split second. In the blink of an eye, the two Gundams had fought furiously.

"Arios Gundam is a fourth-generation machine, Altron Gundam doesn't have -drive, it can only be considered as a second and a half generation machine at most." Garrod looked incredulously at the scorching battle in front of him and found himself completely unable to intervene, "Grandpa is also too strong, right?!"

Arios Gundam had an absolute advantage in terms of speed and power, but grandpa's skillful technique made up for this deficiency. The Arios Gundam clearly has a huge performance advantage but was forced to neither retreat nor approach, only staying in place.

Ade looked dumbfounded, "Poor me, I only know how to slash and stab. How many close battle skills does Amuro know?"

In the battle, Leonard faked a breakthrough. Chang Wufei caught this chance and immediately thrust. When the stick was about to pierce Arios Gundam, it suddenly hit an invisible barrier and could not advance an inch.

"-drive?"Chang Wufei turned the stick around and blocked the beam saber's sneak attack, approaching forward again, "How dare you to play tricks in front of me!"

The stick slashed out like lightning. Zap and poke, just two moves, Arios Gundamhad became defenseless. Chang Wufei is well versed in the various limitations of -drive, at this point, the field is too late to expand, so he pierced the stick straight towards the cockpit.

Leonard cursed in his heart, and a beam saber appeared in Arios Gundam's left hand. The saber was only slightly stopped in front of the Gundam's body, but it was enough for him to get back the defense posture.

"Have you forgotten what the Doctor taught you?" Chang Wufei forced Arios Gundam back, and his old voice angrily rang out on the public channel, "Where is your justice?

"I have long since run out of justice." Leonard's voice was undulating, "I died with him when he died, leaving behind nothing more than an enslaved spirit and a shell. Chang Wufei, carry out your justice for me to see."

Chang Wufei was frightened and angry. But after all, he was old, and he was gradually losing strength, so his movements began to slow down, and Arios Gundam's performance advantage finally came into play. However, this pace of the battle finally allowed Garrod to intervene, and DX put down its rifle and put on its saber to join the battle.

"Ade, I'll go help." Ange suggested anxiously, "Villkiss can also play a role."

"Play what role? Stay here, don't move." Ade was watching with rapt attention and refused without thinking. Fearing she would mess up, he grabbed her hand, "No, this Arios Gundam isn't acting right, but I can't say what's wrong. What's wrong "

Ange struggled inwardly for a moment, impulsively wanting to tell him the truth, but ultimately did not muster the courage.

The three Gundams battled for a while. In the chaos, Altron Gundam's stick was crashed by Arios Gundam's -drive, but Chang Wufei also draw back sharply at this time. Altron Gundam's two arms suddenly stretched out and clamped Arios Gundam's pair of wrists from the side, bypassing the defense of -drive.

"He's killing himself " Ade finally grasped the true meaning of Leonard's perverse behavior and shouted eagerly into the channel, "Chang Wufei, stop! This isn't even combating!"

"So what? This is my justice!" Chang Wufei sounded like he was taking it for granted, "Garrod, do it!"

Garrod hesitated for less than a second. Between the virtuous grandpa and the suspected amnesiac Dr. Yang he decisively chose the former, "This is what I need to do to protect Tiffa, I'm ready."

DX's thick beam saber barreled through Arios Gundam's cockpit from behind, and at the same time, Arios Gundam blew itself up in place.

"Actually, that's a happy ending, right?" His relieved smile faded into the flash.

"It's my fault." Ange bowed her head and muttered to herself in a voice only she could hear, "It's all my fault, if only I had said it earlier "

Ade led Ange out of the vault in a hurry, not noticing Ange's perversity. Coming to the ground, Chang Wufei and Garrod happened to get off the Gundams.

Garrod knew that the atmosphere was not right, so he rubbed the back of his head and said, "I'll go see what I can retrieve" and ran to the wreckage of Arios Gundam.

Ade went up to him, "Chang Wufei, Leonard was--"

"He was killing himself." Chang Wufei calmly interrupted, "Doctor, I fought alongside him for three years. I know him better than you."

"Then why did you just kill him?" Ade pursued, "We may be able to convince him, right? If not, at least we can get useful information from him, right?"

"Do you know how many of our men he has killed since he turned against us, Doctor?" Chang Wufei replied to himself, "Including the people killed by the Chyurippu crystal bombs he dropped, a total of 9,962 people were killed by him. I remember the name of every one of them. Do you want to hear it, Doctor?"

Ade was silent.

"That's it, whether he commits suicide, whether he repents, whether he can fight for, it has nothing to do with this old man in front of you." Chang Wufei changed his usual address for the first time in front of Ade, "He is already evil, and what he has done cannot be erased. If it is evil, it must be wiped out, and that is my justice."

Only now did he truly appreciate that Chang Wufei was telling more than just a story.

"I did it with such motivation and awareness, ready to give my life for justice at any time." Chang Wufei's eyes were sharp and clear, "Doctor, what is your motivation? What is your enlightenment? What is your justice? These are the questions you asked me back then, and with all respect to you, I ask you to answer them as well."

But before Ade could answer, Chang Wufei arched his hand toAde and drove away in Altron Gundam, leaving behind only Ade, who had a complicated look, and Ange, who had an even more complicated look. Both of them were full of thoughts, and neither of them had the heart to care about the other's different appearance at this moment.

After that Ade does not remember how they returned to the room. He kept thinking Chang Wufei's words. He can actually understand Chang Wufei's reaction. His hatred, his anger are real, just he did so decisively, which still gave Ade a lot of shocks.

In the evening, Salamandinay found him, "Grandpa wants to leave as soon as possible, so as to avoid any accidents. This attack is likely to indicate that Embryo is planning to strike again. He wants to ask when you can move."

"Anytime I can." Ade thought about it and replied bluntly, "There is no point in delaying any longer. The longer I stay, the more dangerous it is."

The other party left after getting the answer, and Ade, who was interrupted in his thoughts, then noticed Ange looked strange.

"What's wrong with you?" He left the other things behind and sat beside Ange with concern, "What's going on? You've been like this since you got back this morning, and now you look even worse."

"Well, Ade." Ange moved a rare bit farther away instead of coming up to him, "Let's, let's sleep in separate rooms."

" Why?"

"I, how can I say that I am still an unmarried girl, this kind of behavior don't you think it's too much?" Ange took a deep breath and raised her head to look at him, "I don't think this is good. Let's all separate and calm down first, it's good for both of us."

"Miss Friday, you just confessed last night, no, early this morning. Now it's not even twenty-four hours and you're saying we should all separate and calm down Korean dramas don't work that way." He put his hand towards Ange, Ange flew backward a little to avoid his hand, "Is it my fault?"

Ange's eyes were a little red. Her mouth was pursed and her head shook like a rattle.

"Whatever you heard from Leonard, he's dead now, no one will know if you don't tell them." Ade said the words without pressure, "I wouldn't mind killing someone myself if the secret is really that important. You're too important to me, I can't afford to lose you."

"But," Ange looked like she was about to burst into tears at any moment, "but "

"No buts, go to bed." Ade got up and unlocked the door, "What are you doing? Undress, you sleep with your clothes on?"

"Today, today I slept with my clothes on." Ange lay down on the inside of the bed with her back facing out, grabbed a pillow and covered her head with it, "I'll sleep with my clothes on from now on."

"It's okay." Ade sat on the edge of the bed, "Undressing is one of the joys of being a man."

"You rascal!" Ange ripped off the pillow and sat up at once, froze for a moment, and lay back down again to re-pick up the pillow to cover her head. Her voice dripping with aggression, "I'm in a lot of pain and confusion, don't bully me, okay "

"Is it something so serious?"

"Mm." Ange under the pillow replied in a jarring voice.

"Then do you still like me?"

" hmm."

"That's good, I like big breasts too."

"Shouldn't you say you like me?!" Ange ripped off the pillow and sat up again, only to freeze before laying back down again, replacing the pillow on her head, "Bullying me is so much fun, more fun than designing Gundam."

"I like you too."

"Hey?" The bottom of the pillow was wet at once, "But, but, but, it's too late to say this now"
