They were flying their fighter jets, and the target was too large; traversing completely within the Atlantic Federation's territory was a reckless act.
"Is the nearest mass driver and ZAFT large base in Kaohsiung?"
He Kui looked at the results calculated by the computer, pondering deeply.
"With 60% power, there's no way we can reach there."
"We have no choice; let's head to Midway Island."
"As long as we find Andrew, it will be fine."
The shift in Alaska should not have been completed yet; at this moment, Dearka and Nicol had just returned to Earth, and their preparations were certainly at Midway Island, which was also their frontline against the Atlantic Federation.
"He Kui, do you remember what that gang said before?"
Shihe's expression turned serious upon hearing this.
"Yes, the Atlantic Federation is gathering troops towards the Hawaiian Islands."
He Kui let out a bitter laugh.
Calculating the time, nearly forty-eight hours had already passed.
It was highly likely that the Atlantic Federation's forces had gathered.
If they went now, they might very well stumble right into the battlefield.
"We have no choice; with this power, it's either Midway Island or Alaska."
Alaska hadn't been attacked at all; going there was less preferable than heading directly to Midway Island, where at least there was a base.
If possible, he didn't want Yulis to die and wanted to bring back the intelligence.
After capturing Creuset and with the nanorobots he had, he would be much safer.
"Mm."
Knowing the gravity of the situation, Shihe tightly held He Kui's hand.
Unbeknownst to the two, Yulis was still in He Kui's embrace, unable to react for a long time.
The recent actions were beyond what a normal person could do.
But what is a normal person? The girl who came from the Mexican border didn't know He Kui's exact strength; she only knew the boy had just dominated the battlefield and that mysterious Mobile Suit that had been inexplicably helping them.
Although Yulis hadn't clearly seen the battlefield just now, she was certain that something nearby was definitely assisting them.
However, Yulis didn't voice her questions.
Her past life had taught her that sometimes an overly curious mind wasn't a good thing.
"Yulis, go to the back seat."
In the urgent situation earlier, she hadn't had the chance to let anyone return; now that it was temporarily safe, He Kui said.
"Okay~"
"Brother, where are we going?"
Getting off her robot-like stiff body, Yulis asked curiously.
"Midway Island."
"Ah?"
"Don't you know where that is?"
"I only know it's not the Atlantic Federation's territory, right?"
Yulis replied, puzzled.
"Didn't the news say anything?"
"The Atlantic Federation has long abandoned it to ZAFT."
One had to admire the Atlantic Federation's control over the media; they had thrown away such an important island, the gateway to the Hawaiian Islands, and somehow the public remained unaware.
"No."
"Is brother a ZAFT person?"
"Not really."
If we consider Aegis's identity, it's more than just not being one; if he weren't so elusive, he would have been captured by ZAFT long ago.
As for He Kui, he was indeed a ZAFT person and was close to reaching a high position.
So whether he was a ZAFT person was indeed hard to say.
Thus, they continued flying at low altitude, moving from Montana to Seattle, and under the cover of the Neutron Jammer, they ascended into the high sky.
Suddenly, an endless view of the vast ocean and the flawless blue sky filled their sight, all of it the Pacific Ocean.
For He Kui, who was already accustomed to this, it was nothing special, while for Yulis, who lived on the border, there was also no joy to be found.
"Do you want to take a nap? It will take at least six hours to reach Midway Island."
After setting the plane to cruise mode, Shihe turned her head with concern.
Fortunately, the black technology batteries in this world could even power Gundams, and when placed in fighter jets, they were quite durable. Plus, He Kui's Aegis had an extremely advanced energy battery, so six hours was barely enough.
"Let's take turns resting."
Having already obtained the intelligence, He Kui didn't want to relax at this moment.
"Okay, you go first."
Shihe nodded in response.
Taking turns, each person could rest for three hours, which was barely enough for a Coordinator.
At such a critical time, He Kui didn't go off to mess around; he simply pulled out a bed in the radar room and closed his eyes.
The two endured like this, and soon it was the next day.
At this moment, the time at Midway Island was just noon, with the sun shining directly on the blue Pacific Ocean, making it hard to see.
However, a series of alarm sounds had already begun ringing in He Kui's radar room.
"Combat heat sources ahead."
Shihe said, maneuvering the small bird, which had already concealed itself near the fighter jet.
"It's the Atlantic Federation's Third Fleet at sea, along with ZAFT's defending troops!"
"They're really fighting."
Hearing Shihe's words, He Kui pinched his aching temples.
It seemed they had been fighting for quite a while, probably since morning.
"We only have 5% power left."
Shihe reminded.
No matter how miraculous it was, the plane's power would eventually run out.
"Can you locate Andrew's troops?"
"Wait a moment."
After Shihe said this, she began searching on the radar.
At this point, Midway Island was no longer just a small island; a large-scale naval military base had been established there.
It was said to have been built during the Third World War, naturally for defense against whom was unnecessary to mention.
This base had also produced many heroes and was a source of pride for the Atlantic Federation.
However, this pride had now changed hands, and in front of this once-glorious but now shattered base, both sides were passionately confronting each other.
On the other side, Yulis in the back seat also saw the distant flashes of fire.
She couldn't help but gasp.
Following this brother, she had gone to beautiful shopping malls, ridden the most luxurious trains, experienced small gang conflicts, espionage, and encounters with MA and MS, and now this was the final battlefield.
In just a few days, Yulis had experienced things she had never dared to imagine in her lifetime.
Danger and excitement seemed to be the norm for this mysterious brother, who was indeed very powerful and had been winning all along.
"Brother."
Watching the clash between the two armies ahead, Yulis felt a bit uneasy.
"Trust me."
"Mm!"
He Kui's calm words instantly dispelled the girl's unease.
As they spoke, Shihe finally found the target.
"I see it!"
The screen in front of He Kui changed with Shihe's voice; it w
as a large, exaggerated, familiar Strike Gundam moving rapidly in the sky.
Wasn't that the one he had personally modified?
It looked like it had indeed ascended smoothly, performing aerial maneuvers like a giant fighter jet showing off.
