The protagonist of the Bloody Valentine tragedy, Junius Seven, saw all its inhabitants perish under the Earth Alliance's nuclear attack. The death toll was nearly 250,000, making it Plant's most tragic casualty since its founding.
It was precisely this tragedy that led more and more young people in Plant to join the military and ZAFT. Although Kira hadn't fully let go, he felt that Mikazuki made sense. The living were more important than the dead. Though he deeply regretted what happened to the deceased residents of Junius Seven, he had no choice but to offend them for the sake of the Archangel's many lives.
Meanwhile, Mikazuki, piloting Barbatos, had no such qualms. First, he didn't kill those people. Second, he didn't see anything wrong with it. Still, as he always said, those people had nothing to do with him, and he didn't kill them, so he had no need for guilt.
Otherwise, if he felt guilty for every person he killed, how could he and Tekkadan have survived until today? He had done this kind of work—scavenging among the dead—countless times back when he was in CGS. He was long accustomed to it; guilt and unwillingness were impossible.
Just as Mikazuki was protecting the transport ship, the Teiwaz symbol on his screen flickered. "Mikazuki, there's an MS at eight o'clock, and beside it, a shuttle that looks like it was just destroyed by it." Mikazuki immediately maneuvered Barbatos to hide behind a giant meteorite nearby.
Following Orga's guidance, Mikazuki saw directly through his retinal projection what Barbatos was seeing: a mostly destroyed shuttle and a purple GINN. "Just one?" "Yes, just one." "Then take it out." With that, the fuel in Barbatos' thrusters, hidden behind the meteorite, burned fiercely, and it appeared before the GINN with lightning speed.
Its original anti-ship sword was replaced with a solid alloy katana, and its smoothbore cannon was stably mounted behind its thrusters. Its overall equipment was much more stable than the first time. The GINN had no time to react. It was cut in half by Barbatos's sword and exploded in the wreckage. Mikazuki looked at the katana in his hand and muttered, "It's acceptable."
Natarl on the transport ship and Murrue on the Archangel noticed Mikazuki's movements. Seeing Barbatos destroy a GINN, they quickly notified the transport ship, "Speed up, Strike expand vigilance range!" "Yes!" "Mikazuki, are you alright?" "I'm fine, just that one...
Hmm?" Murrue heard Mikazuki hum in confusion and quickly asked, "What's wrong?" "It looks like there's an escape pod." "An escape pod? That place?" Murrue quickly remotely controlled the monitor on the transport ship, turning the screen to the place Mikazuki mentioned. Indeed, she found a small escape pod.
Mikazuki frowned. His intuition told him that there was a very important person in that escape pod, and he had to save her. "I'll take that escape pod back, no problem, right?" "Eh..." Murrue was stunned. This seemed to be the first time Mikazuki had made a somewhat whimsical request. She paused, then chuckled, "Alright.
After all, we took quite a few things from Junius Seven. If there's a survivor in the escape pod, saving them would bring some solace to our hearts." Mikazuki smiled slightly, knowing that Murrue was making an exception for him. "Thank you." After saying thanks, Barbatos slowly moved towards the escape pod.
Inside the escape pod, a pink spherical robot floated. "Harro, Harro, Lacus, Barbatos, Barbatos." "Barbatos?" A pleasant voice first paused, then opened the screen inside the escape pod. Seeing Barbatos approaching on the screen, she said in surprise, "Mikazuki!" Barbatos grabbed the escape pod and brought it back to the Archangel.
He piloted the mobile suit into the hangar, then floated out of the cockpit and landed next to the escape pod in front of the mobile suit. Murrue and Natarl came here with several armed soldiers. After all, it was a ZAFT escape pod; they still had to be careful.
Mikazuki ate a date, watching the escape pod being unlocked by the maintenance crew's Kojero. Murrue, who was beside him, said, "Mikazuki, you're not the kind of person who gets involved in every little thing, are you? Why the sudden urge to bring this escape pod back?"
"Intuition." Murrue was speechless. "Intuition?" "Yes, intuition." Just then, Kojero finished analyzing and held up a laptop, saying to everyone, "It's about to open." With that, the armed soldiers aimed their guns at the escape pod. Kojero pressed the confirm button, and the escape pod's alloy door dropped.
"Harro." A pink spherical robot floated out, continuously muttering, "Harro, Harro, Lacus." Mikazuki blinked. "Harro?" "Mikazuki!" Then a beautiful figure rushed out of the escape pod. Mikazuki's face suddenly crashed into something soft, making him smell a pleasant fragrance, along with a sense of suffocation.
"Lacus?" Lacus let go of Mikazuki, but her hands tightly gripped Mikazuki's large hands. She nodded forcefully, her face beaming with joy at their reunion. "Yes, we meet again, Mikazuki." Murrue watched the two chatting, her eyes wide. "Mi... Mikazuki..." Natarl and the others also had blank expressions. "Do... do you two know each other?"
