[translation] Frozen Teardrop, Requiem of Chains III, part 3

“What is that supposed to mean?” Offbeat, as usual That was just like the nerves-of-steel Mr Flatter Me McFlatterson 311/3/15 [7] Pot, meet kettle

The white three-headed winged dragon continued flying even as it took several hits froht heon purpose to bait thee was so severe, that was as fast as [Nataku] could go? Either way, it was necessary to execute the mission before Epyon's “ZERO” noticed Heero and Duo were there But I watched and waited for my predictions to be disproved

“That idiot…… like he has any se, the bea Warlock leisurely planted hi that machine on the sly, its abilities were supposed to be displayed to their full extent The kid really shouldn't have been named Duo

“I can't count on you” It appeared that the Virgo IVs' target had now becoan a concentrated beaed forward as he nie of the black cape left a trick track as hea few or a few dozen Warlocks Their bea at the wrong places I guess it wasn't called Warlock for nothing Warlock sped up even et-- Warlock, as the closest, turned to the electro and thrust Just as I'd thought, the beam scythe was no match for the Neo Planet Defensers, which were prided as an i circular o IVs periphery, but there were not supposed to be any blind spots Then, the white three-headed dragon made an about face and flew back over the battlefield [Wufei] probably couldn't stand watching my idiot son's far-out moves But in that utterly beat up condition, it was recklessly rash to offer his aid or even to go on a special/suicide [8] attack He quickly aimed his beam rifle up At the same time, Warlock's beam scythe attack was unveiled The bea shot out The cooperation between land and air made a wave-ike attack with superb (leniency and severity) It wasn't quite enough to totally fend off the Virgo IVs [ALT: it wasn't quite enough to overwhelo IVs] but it wasn't a bad combination

“Do you think that's a feint?” Kathy asked naively

“Both of theht A wild attack and a reckless special/suicidal attack-- Behind this obvious battle, Snow White was cooly ai its cape that was outfitted with a unique stealth feature, would be completely undetectable, even by the Mars Federation's observation satellites Epyon's “ZERO” probably hadn't pulled in the net of its investigative battle analysis Suddenly, a thought came to me In the back of o when Snow White and Warlock went up against Katrine's Maganacs I was sure Heero fought with only his beah speed hovercraft Voyage, it was supposed to have its new buster rifle But it wasn't used [to fight the Maganacs] Heero said “I'll kill Katrine,” but he didn't use the most effective means In other words, that [buster rifle] is his true and (destructive coefficient [9]) had been pretty souped up Like the old Wing Gunda system and at es would allow for three shots a piece However-- I tried calculating that in hest output, it wouldn't punch through the triple layer electronetic defenses of the Neo Planet Defenser If consecutive shots were concentrated at the saht be possible to destroy the outero IVs and Epyon hadn't [yet] arrived, there was no way it could be a one-hit turn-around With apowerful attack, there would be no breaking through the triple layer electronetic field Yet if it wasn't decided to [shot] continuously in the sa was started]--

“You can't do this……I can”

Heero told uy who could make the iood they were

The Caped Misbehavor (lit: black-caped naughty boy) was still circling around the electro those o IVs did not excel at hand-to-hand cohting, he [note: or the Virgos?] would de the (prominent) Warlock, that was self-evident At the sa pylon circles overhead fired, simultaneously Zechs' Epyon raised its beam sword overhead and went for Warlock That was thefor From under the black cape, he pulled out what looked like a hand grenade and flung it into the sky It was [actually] a spare buster rifle cartridge Epyon's falling bea in the ht Epyon's sword in a fixed position with a twist of his wrist Withouta beat, he used his other hand to pull out a second cartridge with a skillfulness that rivaled that of a true ician's, and like the first one, he threw it into the air

“Oh, I get it, (there was that option, too)”

Heero's Snow Whitethe buster rifle 02PX-78DY point That's probably the point froes flying through the air began freefalling in the Virgo IVs triple layer electroht froe The biggest output energy beae explosion The outer ht planet defensers were simultaneously destroyed For all that “ZERO” had been involved [in calculating the shot], the reatest subtlety I couldn't help being bloay by [Heero's] hitting that little detonator on the spinning, falling cartridge from that distance But if he didn't do it like that, he couldn't have raised the power of the buster rifle to destroy the [electronetic] field [and the planet] defenser Two tenths of a second later, the second spare cartridge was hit by the energy beanetic field disappeared Another three tenths of a second later, the third was exploded and took out the last of the Neo Planet Defensers The area ed up in a flood of light from the violent plasma currents and red-hot torrents [froo IVs lost their best defenses But they weren't such small potatoes that [the others] could ease up on the attack Wufei was particularly on suddenly caedthe Virgo IVs using successive attacks with the bea He was as fast as lightning One suit left--only Zechs' Epyon survived If Warlock showed its real power, it could easily pin [Zechs] down then and there Duo, however, could not He'd likely stoppedthe above ainst hiht beside that explosive light [like he had been] would have done the same That kid had played his part well beyond expectations Zechs' Epyon changed into the red double-headed flying dragon mode and just flew off into the sky Evidently, he'd decided to evacuate Wufei's Nataku changed ave chase, there was no way he could catch up [to Zechs] with the severe dae to the exterior [that Nataku] now [suffered] Neither of the “ZERO”s could co better than that

“Mission all over…… [we] soed to win”

Just then, an encrypted line of communication came from Wuife

“This is Nataku……I will finish the operation [alt: it's done]”

“Roger…… Master Chang, that was truly so”

“No, Lieutenant Commander Kathy……I eak”

“Impossible”

“Nataku didn't approve of/accept me”

“That's not true! I'm quite proud to have a superior officer blessed with valiant boldness such as [you] Master Chang”

“I'et et in?”

“Yes, gladly!” Kathy saluted with a face-splitting grin “Oh, would you care for soar and milk?”

“Both please……extra of both”

“Understood”

“Xie xie [10]…”

After the monitor [feed] was cut, ere filled with a sense of relief

“That was great……”

“Yeah……just like you said, Wufei's Nataku won”

“It's not going to be that easy--” said a girl's voice fro face of Miss Katrine appeared on the large screen of the main monitor “--since the Mars Federation's aerial tactics division will arrive shortly” Hearing those words, Kathy iot on the controls and increased the enemy detection radar's area of (inspection)

“Confir over the battlefield where Wufei and the others are” It was a y more than by tactics

“You hacked the observation satellite, didn't you? If you did, the Mars Federation is watching the sae so it's entirely within the realm of possibilies that its co brother Quatre and how everything she said was absolutely right was sickening

“……”

I was about to cut off the co had been superbly done: all operations [then] became ineffective/unresponsive

“Oh, that's right……there's no point to the security codes and secret lines” She smiled as she spoke, “Between you and me, I put a lot of work into it, I did”

“How many Mars suits are there on that hover craft?”

Before Kathy could answer, Katrine continued to speak unperturbed as she cleaned her glasses “There are ten unether that's five hundred machines”

“Oh, is that so…… Aaaand incidentally, you're saying Wufei and them will round them all up”

“You all probably think I'm just a traitor but I want you to try to understand……We need a Gundam and especially, Heero Yuy”

“Wasn't there a so about it?

Katrine put her glasses back on and her cool blue eyes flashed “This is how I' it, naturally……but the Mars Federation isn't an iron-clad thing, we cannot be stopped by [these?those?] runaway/reckless upper levels of military”

“The un Mars suits have been released from the transport hover crafts Snow White, Warlock, and Nataku are beginning interception!!”

“Even if I believed you didn't order this……why the hell did you contact us? It wasn't just to make excuses/explain”

“Actually, there is that, ha ha ha”

“Huh?”

“That was a joke……I contacted you because twoand I humbly wished to inform you prior to their arrival”

“What guests?”

“Please receive them with courtesy……that is all”
