Chapter 301 Cagalli is missing, and so is the captain!

Air King No. 1 returned to the ship with the joy of victory. It killed a mothership and destroyed all the mobile suits in it. This achievement was quite good, and when it came back, it was found that the battle on the Archangel was over. Joy upon joy.

But when the fighter plane landed and Mu got out of the cockpit, he saw that everyone had serious expressions.

"What happened?" Mu asked immediately.

"Where's Unit 2?"

"The little girl didn't come back?" Mu was immediately stunned. During the battle, the navigation module of Air King 2 was destroyed, so he asked Cagalli to return first. She should have returned to the ship long ago.

"What happened? Where is Cagalli?" Kisaka, who was also waiting for Cagalli's return, and Lyle, who was returning to the ship, came over and asked.

"Is such that……"

…

Time went back to ten minutes ago. After the two Skymasters launched their attack, they headed towards the direction given by CIC to look for the mothership of the ZAFT army. It didn't take long to find the submarine mothership.

"Finally found you, little kitten!" Seeing the light spots appearing on the anti-submarine radar, Mu's heart that had been hanging around was finally relieved. After all, the direction given by CIC was just a prediction, and it did not mean that they would definitely be able to find the target. .

"Kitten?"

"Don't worry, let's go!"

"It's Cagalli!"

Although Cagalli was complaining that Mu didn't call her name, her movements did not stop. The missile bays on the lower abdomen of the two Skymasters opened and launched an anti-submarine torpedo.

One missed and the other hit, directly hitting the starboard side of the mothership (port side: you have today too!). The water was so serious that the mothership had to float up, and they also needed to let the [Dean] troops on standby attack. Shoot down two Skymasters.

"Damn it, if the captain hadn't asked us to go back to the base to resupply... surface and let [Dean] attack and knock them down!"

The shadow on the sea is getting bigger and bigger, which is a sign that the mothership is about to surface. Mu did not expect from the beginning that the two anti-submarine torpedoes could sink the ZAFT army's submarine mothership in order to force them out of the bottom of the sea. As long as As soon as it shows up, give it a solid shot! This is why the Air King piloted by Mu carries an artillery pack.

"They are coming, are you ready?"

"Um!"

This was Cagalli's second time flying the Air King, but she was still a little nervous. At the same time, she also wanted to strive for performance, so she directly lowered her height and flew at a low altitude toward the position where the mothership surfaced.

"Hey, don't fly too low, you'll get hit by the waves!"

Fortunately, Mu reminded her in time. At the critical moment, Cagalli pulled up the joystick and climbed up. Otherwise, the waves from the mothership would have swept away the Sky Overlord and turned him into a turtle in the sea.

"Idiot, calm down next time and don't act impulsively!"

"Who are you calling an idiot?"

At this time, Mu felt the same as Yang Hui. This girl Cagalli was really not cute at all.

However, Yemu did not argue with Cagalli, because the submarine carrier had surfaced, and the three MS ejection bay doors on the surface were fully opened. If they did not act, they would be in danger.

"Don't even think about it!"

Lowering the altitude, the [Fire God] ultra-high pulse cannon roared, and the fierce blue, white, and red beams directly penetrated the submarine mothership, leaving a ferocious hole. The next second, the arc jumped where the big hole melted, and the arc jumped continuously. It made a "sizzling" sound, sparks flew everywhere, and finally exploded one after another, with flames shooting into the sky and thick smoke billowing.

"Are you done?" Cagalli was excited when she saw the submarine carrier explode, but she immediately became nervous because a [Dean] burst out of flames and smoke, pointing its dark muzzle at Target her.

Facing the incoming [Dean], Cagalli quickly dodged, but almost hit Mu's following attack.

"Little girl, stop running around! What if I hit you?"

"What are you talking about...ugh!"

I was still ready to speak harshly, but the Cagalli aircraft had already been hit. Fortunately, although the tail was trailing a trail of thick smoke, it quickly resumed its smooth flight.

"Are you okay?" Mu asked quickly. He had promised Yang Hui to take good care of Cagalli and not to break the appointment at the last minute.

"The navigation module is just damaged, it's okay."

"Can you return home? Then leave quickly. I'll deal with this guy." Mu was also afraid. Cagalli's potential to pilot the Air King is indeed not low, but she is willful and likes to show off her abilities and be competitive. Mu Zhen I don't dare to let her stay on the battlefield anymore.

"I told you it's okay, I can still..."

"You're only going to get in the way when you're flying around! Don't you understand this!?" Mu's violent temper finally couldn't be restrained and he yelled. He really finally understood the reason why Yang Hui liked to scold Cajiali. I like to target Cagalli, but this girl really wants to be scolded!

"Tch, okay, got it!"

Unwilling to be reconciled, but having no choice but to accept it, Cagalli could only fly the Air King to break away from the battle and return in the direction of the Archangel, but...

Cagalli left, and Mu was finally able to let go and fight.

Raising up, flipping, swooping, following the direction of the sun, when [Dean] was blinded, the fierce three-color artillery fire once again erupted with a terrifying roar, cutting off [Dean] at the waist.

"Okay!"

After defeating the last [Dean], with the joy of victory, the Air King began to return.

…

"This is the situation. I asked her to return in advance. Logically speaking, she should return."

After listening to Mu's story, everyone fell into thinking, wondering why Cagalli disappeared.

"Could it be that the navigation module was damaged and couldn't find the direction of the Archangel and got lost?" Ma Liu guessed.

"No way?" Everyone was stunned for a moment, with expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

"No, if it's Cagalli... it's really possible." Yang Hui covered his face and said depressedly.

This expression is really not fake, the anime is just an anime. Will Cagalli encounter the Holy Shield's transport plane by chance, and then both fall, and spend a night alone with Aslan on an uninhabited island? Yang Hui doesn't know, but with Yang Hui, who grew up with Cagalli, knows one thing: she is a road-crazy, and a super road-crazy!

How crazy is Cagalli? A person who almost got lost in his mansion!

"...Oh, what should we do now?" Everyone was really speechless. There are really people in this world who can't find their way home without their navigation.

"We can only launch a search and rescue operation." Ma Liu decided.

Originally, Bucky Lulu would have sternly objected. After all, they were still in the area occupied by the ZAFT army. If they stayed there for a second longer, they would be in danger. No one knew whether the ZAFT army would send reinforcements to pursue them.

But now the situation is completely different. Not to mention that Bucky Lulu's character is slowly changing in a subtle way. They accepted Yang Hui's commission to send him and Cagalli back to Orb safely. They also urgently needed Orb's help. Supplies, now there is one less target to escort, and it is Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Asha family. Hasn’t the commission failed?

And if Orb knew about this news, he probably wouldn't have to go to Alaska and just sink himself.

Because the war situation is urgent, the Atlantic Federation pays more and more attention to Orb. If the gap between Orb and the Atlantic Federation deepens due to their actions, the top management of the Atlantic Federation will not let them go without Orb taking action.

"Let's look for it. At least... we have to find the wreckage of Air King 2," Yang Hui said.

"..."

Everyone was silent. Although they still had hope, it was just hope. Cagalli's current situation could already be judged as MIA (abbreviation for Missing In Action, referring to military personnel who disappeared during combat missions.).

After the supplies of Strike Gundam and Skymaster 1 were completed, they made an emergency sortie again to search the surrounding sea areas. At the same time, the Archangel moved towards the nearest uninhabited island, where it dropped Lyle's [Jean] from Land begins searching for Cagalli.

"The distress signal should have been sent out, but the signal is so poor now that it is of no use at all. After the Air King and Assault completed the search of the nearby sea area, they merged with the Leer aircraft and started searching for the uninhabited islands."

"Understood." X3

"Remember, the search and rescue operation can only be carried out until 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, and it must end by then." Baki Lulu reminded.

Stopping to launch a search and rescue operation was the utmost kindness. After all, Cagalli's life and death were unknown. Yang Hui was still on the Archangel and had already lost an escort target. They must be responsible for the other escort target, as well as the Archangel's. Everyone is responsible. Of course, this deadline was also agreed by Yang Hui.

"Master Yang Hui..."

"Kisaka, do you have anything to say?"

"If... Cagalli is not found, I request to disembark here."

"Stay and continue looking for Cagalli?"

"Yes, Master Uzumi left Cagalli in my care. If I can't find her within the time limit, I can't just go back."

"...After staying with Cagalli for a long time, you have become stupid." Yang Hui shook his head and smiled.

"In Cagalli's terms, this is all Haumia's guidance." Kisaka replied with the same wry smile.

"Haumiah's guidance...I approved it. If we don't find her, you will find her and bring her back, no matter what."

"learn."

…

The Archangel launched a search and rescue operation, and people were missing from the ZAFT Army's Carpentaria base. The captain of the newly formed Sara team disappeared before they could carry out any mission.

"Yitzhak, is there any news about Aslan?" Nigel asked anxiously when he saw that Yitzhak, who was asking for news, had returned.

Originally, the four of them were supposed to set off together, but the transport plane responsible for transporting the Aegis Gundam temporarily broke down before takeoff, so Aslan and the Aegis Gundam set off a little late, and then... they failed to arrive until the sunset. Carpentaria base.

"Members of Team Sala, we now announce the first mission of our glorious team." Yitzhak did not answer Nigel, but said seriously, but in a rather joking tone, "This mission is very important, and the content is... …Search and rescue captain!”

"Pfft~ Hahahaha..." Diego laughed out loud after hearing this.

Nicol wanted to be angry, but he had no choice. He was more concerned about Aslan's safety than arguing with Yitzhak and Diego.

"You can't blame him for the transport plane being shot down this time, but the headquarters is also busy with business, so I told my captain to find it myself."

"Yeah, yeah, what a good start."

"But it's getting dark now. Let's go look for it tomorrow."

"How could this be possible!?"

"He's still driving the Holy Shield, so you don't have to worry too much even if he falls into the sea."

"That's it. Let's rest in the dormitory today. The mothership will be ready tomorrow and we can set off again then."

Nigel had no choice but to accept that if it was a space environment, even if he was alone, he would have to pilot the Thunder Gundam to immediately launch a search and rescue operation. But on earth, especially in the sea, without the support of a mothership, Nigel would be alone. The result of the operation can only be to change the search and rescue target from one to two.

"Aslan, you must be safe and sound." Nigel prayed while looking at the sunset outside the window.
