Time Travel: Make a Choice Starting from Gundam SEED

However, at this moment, Natal's soul had been taken away by the [Archangel] that had just appeared.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. Then she turned to look at Azrael and said in a somewhat self-serving way:

"Director Azrael, this won't work. We must find a way to change the situation."

Unfortunately, Azrael was conflicted and didn't want to retreat, so after taking a glance, he didn't respond at all.

So Natal could only continue to persuade: "Judging from the current situation of the war, our army is likely to fail again.

Perhaps... we should consider retreating, conserving our strength, and waiting for a better opportunity..."

"Impossible~! We can't just retreat like this. Order the troops to continue the attack. Do you understand? Continue, advance, and attack."

Azrael frowned and shouted loudly. He knew that what Natal said made sense, but he had his own plans in mind.

Natal knew Azrael's stubbornness. She sighed and continued to persuade him, "If we insist on doing this, we will only sacrifice more troops in vain. We need to conserve our strength and wait for a better opportunity to deal with ZAFT."

"No, I won't give up. As long as I can get those two nuclear-powered mobile suits, everything will be worth it."

However, Azrael remained unmoved. He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and stared at the battlefield, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.

Natal shook her head helplessly. She knew that Azrael's desire for the two Gundams had gone beyond reason.

She decided to try another angle to convince him: "If we really want to win, maybe we can try other methods. For example, we can persuade Captain Malu Ramias on the [Archangel] to forgive them for their defection and make them change their minds."

Azrael was slightly stunned when he heard this suggestion, and he fell into deep thought.

Natal saw this and struck while the iron was hot and said, "Chairman Azrael, think about it. They are soldiers of the Earth Alliance Army. They should be very willing to come back. This will not only reduce casualties, but also increase our strength."

"Okay, let's try your suggestion. But I still hope to get those two mobile suits as soon as possible."

Azrael's eyes gradually brightened, as if he was moved by Natal's words. After thinking for a moment, he finally nodded.

Natal breathed a sigh of relief, at least Azrael had temporarily agreed to her plan. She immediately began to arrange contact with the Archangel, hoping to resolve the issue through negotiation.

Azrael silently watched the battlefield, praying in his heart that this plan would succeed.

Then, Natal looked at the [Archangel] that had just launched an attack with a serious expression.

He picked up the communication phone beside him and asked the soldiers to dial the dedicated communication channel on the Archangel: "This is the Archangel-class battleship [Archangel] belonging to the Atlantic Federation.

[Archangel], can you hear me? [Archangel], can you hear me? I am Natal Bakilulu….”

When this communication appeared on the bridge of the Archangel, everyone looked at each other in surprise.

“…_I have obtained the consent of the Chairman of the Earth United Defense Industry Association, Murta Azrael.

As long as your ship is willing to surrender immediately and return to the Earth Alliance, you will be forgiven for the crime of rebellion..."

Listening to Natal's surrender announcement, everyone on the bridge of the Archangel felt a sense of humor.

Romell, who was in charge of shooting control, said directly: "No one is stupid enough to want to go back now."

"Yeah, no one should be so stupid." Neumann spread his hands helplessly and said self-deprecatingly.

Even he, who wanted to go back the most, no longer wanted to go back. Who else would want to go back?

After all, except Liangzi, everyone else on the [Archangel] has been bound to Xiao Ming's space.

Moreover, they have no ties to the Earth United Government, so no matter how stupid they are, they would not make such a mistake.

"Yeah, it's impossible to go back." Ma Liu nodded: "Okay, come over, I'll refuse it."

After connecting to the [Archangel], Malu looked at Natal with a smile.

Natal, with a serious face, was the first to speak: "Long time no see, Captain Ramias."

"Long time no see, Natal, ...Captain."

"It's a bit of a shame that we would meet again under these circumstances."

"Yeah, I'm very sorry too."

“I have heard about what happened in Alaska before, but please surrender first and then return to the team.

Chairman Azrael has agreed to speak for you and ask the military to exempt you from the charge of desertion..."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Natal got straight to the point. Her expression was serious, and her tone was firm in expressing her position.

However, before she could finish her words, Malu shook her head without hesitation to refuse.

"Thank you, Natal, but I can't do it!" Malu's voice was firm.

Natal's face suddenly became anxious. She stared at Mariu, her eyes revealing disappointment and confusion.

"Why?" Natal asked anxiously, as if she couldn't understand why Malu was so determined.

Malu's eyes were as sharp as torches, firm and sharp. She responded without flinching, "This is not just a problem in Alaska. We have deep doubts about the Earth Alliance Army itself.

We can no longer place our trust and our lives in an organization that has been corrupted. Therefore, we will not surrender or resign."

At this time, Azrael spoke proudly. His tone was full of arrogance and confidence, as if everything was under his control.

"As long as you return to the team now and help me get those two white and red Gundams, I promise that you can continue to serve in my army safely."

His eyes seemed to scan the people on the bridge of the [Archangel] from the opposite side, trying to seduce them with words.

However, Malu's answer was still firm, his voice was calm and decisive, without any wavering.

“Sorry, my answer is, we are not going back.”
