Hearing Kira's question, Mikazuki transferred from his Barbatos to the Strike.
"I don't understand what you mean by 'bewilderment.' I only know that I fight. There are things that must be protected through battle. If I don't fight, what I want to protect will be destroyed by others."
"What is it you want to protect?"
"Family."
"Family?"
Mikazuki looked at Kira, his expression unchanging.
"I find my way home through battle, otherwise, I can't protect them."
"Kira Yamato, you don't belong here, because you haven't made up your mind yet. The resolve to kill."
Kira's expression was moved. He lowered his head, lost in thought.
Mikazuki took out a coconut and threw it into his mouth, crunching it. He turned to leave, but before he did, he said one sentence:
"To fight or to leave, you should think about it yourself."
Only Kira was left in the hangar bay. The conversation was brief, but for Kira, it was deeply significant.
Mikazuki, who had left the hangar bay, saw Murrue leaning against the wall. Murrue was startled at first, then gave an awkward laugh.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to overhear your conversation."
Mikazuki shook his head to indicate it was fine. He raised his hand to support himself and continued forward on the conveyor belt. Murrue followed behind, hesitating for a moment, then spoke:
"There's one question I don't understand."
Mikazuki didn't even turn his head as he replied. "What?"
"What did you mean by 'find my way home through battle' just now? Isn't your Tekkadan on Earth?"
"No, it's not on Earth. Tekkadan's headquarters are on Mars."
"Mars...?" Murrue didn't react at first. When she did, she let out an exclamation of surprise.
"Wait, Mars? Are you saying your headquarters are on Mars?"
"Ah, yes." Murrue grabbed Mikazuki, her eyes wide as she spoke.
"Are you kidding? Mars is still an undeveloped planet. Neither the Earth Alliance nor PLANT currently has any plans for Mars's development. There are no buildings there besides barren land. Humans can't possibly live there."
Mikazuki flinched when Murrue finished speaking. So Mars here hadn't been developed yet.
"Is that so? But our headquarters are indeed on Mars, just not on this Mars."
Murrue was somewhat confused by Mikazuki's words. What did "not on this Mars" mean? How many Mars are there in this world? And only Orga probably truly understood Mikazuki's words.
"So, you're going to Mars?"
"No, to Earth. I said it, only through battle can I find my way back."
Saying that, Mikazuki turned and continued forward. Murrue didn't continue to follow.
In the Laurasia-class battleship that came to pick up Lacus.
Lacus secretly called Hilda to her room. Hilda respectfully said:
"Miss, what is it?"
Lacus, holding a pink Haro, took a deep breath and said in a low voice:
"Hilda, what I'm about to tell you is extremely important, it's a top-secret secret. You must not reveal even half of it externally."
"Uh..."
Hilda's pupils constricted slightly. Lacus rarely showed such an expression.
"Did something happen?"
Lacus placed the pink Haro she was holding on the table, connected it to the computer on the table, and opened a file. Hilda instantly stood up after seeing the content displayed on the computer screen, gasping:
"This... This is Barbatos's data?"
Lacus nodded heavily.
"Yes, this is Mikazuki's Barbatos's data." Lacus left her seat. Hilda said "Thank you" and then came to the seat, browsing the data.
"Nanolaminate armor, Ahab Reactor, and Alaya-Vijnana System. And even information about Barbatos's origins and the world Mikazuki is from." Hilda couldn't help but murmur aloud as she looked at the data.
"ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos (Gundam Barbatos), developed by Gjallarhorn during the Calamity War three hundred years ago, ending the Calamity War's 72 Gundam frames." Seeing this, she became confused.
The Calamity War? I've never heard of this war before. She turned her head to look at Lacus. Lacus shook her head, gesturing for her to continue reading. So Hilda continued reading.
"Ahab Reactor, the core energy of a Gundam frame. Is it really a perpetual motion machine? Is this real? Does this world actually have this kind of energy source? The drawback is that it also has the Alaya-Vijnana System."
Although Hilda had heard some descriptions of the Alaya-Vijnana System from Orga and Mikazuki, she still couldn't help but gasp when she saw the detailed data.
"It's actually a system specifically developed to control Gundams. How utterly insane is this organization called Gjallarhorn?"
At this moment, Lacus spoke:
"Regarding the Calamity War, the intelligence I obtained from Orga is that a terrifying war broke out on their side three hundred years ago, a war that wiped out a quarter of the world's population."
Hilda gasped loudly, her exclamations continuous.
"A quarter of the population? No way? What kind of war was that?!"
"A quarter of the population." Lacus shook her head again. "I don't know, but it must have been a hellish scene. It seems that at that time, the birth of the Ahab Reactor disrupted the original order, causing powers to fight each other."
"Finally, the Seven Stars family organized Gjallarhorn, and relying on the Alaya-Vijnana System, they built 72 Gundams, ending this apocalypse called the Calamity War with powerful military force."
"These 72 Gundams are modeled after the 72 Demon Gods of Solomon. Mikazuki's Barbatos is one of the 72 Gundams."
