Chapter 7

Troop 1 and 3 dashed in different directions, their hurried footsteps echoing in the empty expanse. Meanwhile, White remained motionless, a silent observer of their frantic attempts to escape.

Suddenly, White broke its stillness, lunging forward with startling agility. Its movements were swift, catching Troop 3 off guard as it closed in rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, White unleashed its formidable weapon, a laser energy blade that crackled with deadly power. The blade ignited with a menacing red hue, piercing through the darkness with an ominous glow, casting an eerie crimson glow that illuminated the darkness like a beacon of death.

In a blur of motion, White unleashed a devastating strike, the energy blade slicing through the air with a terrifying swiftness. Troop 3 barely had time to register the impending danger before it was upon him, a deadly dance of metal and energy unfolding in the blink of an eye.

With a deafening roar, the blade cleaved through Troop 3's defenses with surgical precision, tearing through armor and machinery alike as if they were mere paper. There was no time to counter, no opportunity to evade, unable to withstand the overwhelming force of the Gundam's attack.

Inside the cockpit, troop 3 was jolted by the impact, thrown violently against the controls as alarms blared and warning lights flashed. The air filled with the acrid smell of burning metal as systems failed and circuits sparked

Desperate to regain control, Troop 3 fought against the chaos, struggling to stabilize their failing mobile suit as the world spun around them. But it was a futile effort, for the damage inflicted by the Gundam's blade was too severe, rendering their defenses in tatters and leaving him vulnerable.

White With incredible strength, they tore into the twisted metal with effortless ease, rending it apart piece by piece until they reached the cockpit within, troop 3 lay battered and broken, his once proud demeanor reduced to a mere shadow of its former self. With a swift motion,White dragged him from inside the cockpit.

White tossed troop 3 into the air like a ragdoll, his limp form soaring through the sky. And then, with a chilling precision, the White unleashed the full power of their laser, a searing beam of energy that engulfed troop 3 in a blinding inferno.

As the flames engulfed Troop 3's body, their screams were drowned out by the roar of battle. In that agonizing moment, amidst the chaos and carnage, Troop 3's existence was consumed by the relentless fury of the White . There was nothing left but ashes in its wake.

Troop 1's heart pounded in his chest as he raced away, the scene of horror etched in his mind like a nightmare replaying on loop. "I'm going to die," his inner voice screamed, a mantra of terror that echoed with each desperate step he took, never daring to glance back.

[ 2 minutes left ] announced the calm, calculated voice of the AI within the White Gundam.

"It's time to finish this," White muttered, his tone tinged with regret, yet a resolve firm as steel. Each stride forward carried the weight of his conviction. "I hate that it's come to this, but ridding the world of their kind is a necessity," he reasoned, his words a fragile shield against the weight of his actions. "It's self-defense, plain and simple."

With a heavy sigh, White acknowledged the gravity of the moment. "It's time to end it," he declared, his voice steady despite the turmoil within.

With a sudden burst of speed, White charged forward, a blur of motion as he closed the distance between him and Troop 1 in the blink of an eye. He passed through Troop 1, the rush of air marking his swift passage. Halting abruptly, he stood before him, the space between them stretched taut.

Troop 1's shock was palpable, his mind struggling to grasp White's intentions. In an instant, slice marks marred both of Troop 1's suit legs, the fabric torn asunder. As he ran, the legs detached from his suit, propelling him into a chaotic spiral. He tumbled and crashed amidst the debris scattered throughout the surroundings, the remnants of their battle.

The alarm blared in Troop 1's Gundam, a relentless reminder of imminent danger. Fear and nervousness gripped him, a cold realization settling in that escape was futile.

Troop 1's pleas rang out, desperate and pleading. "Please, White, spare me! I'll change, I swear! I'll leave you be, I'll have nothing to do with you again!"

"I am sorry, but it is too late," White said, his voice edged with regret as he advanced steadily toward Troop 1. The echoes of pleading from the rest of his comrades fell on deaf ears as he focused solely on his target.

With each step, White's determination became more palpable. His laser sword hummed to life, casting a faint glow in the dimly lit surroundings. The air crackled with tension as he prepared to deliver the decisive blow that would bring an end to Troop 1.

But Troop 1 was not about to go down without a fight,with a grim determination, Troop 1 initiated the self-destruct sequence of their Gundam, a last resort to ensure that neither they nor the White Gundam would emerge from this conflict unscathed.

"Activate self-destruction mode," Troop 1's voice echoed within his suit, the urgency palpable as he initiated the final resort.

"Self-destruction mode activated," the AI's response rang through Troop 1's helmet, its mechanical tone betraying the gravity of the moment.

"Got you, bitch, let's die together!" Troop 1's laughter filled the tense air, a mix of defiance and grim acceptance as he faced the inevitable.

Then with a blinding flash of light, the explosion engulfed the battlefield, a deafening roar echoing across the desolate landscape. The shockwave rippled through the air, tearing through metal and flesh alike as it consumed everything in its path.

For a moment, it seemed as though the White would be consumed by the inferno, his gundam melting away under the intense heat of the blast. But then, with a burst of speed that defied comprehension, White surged forward, narrowly escaping the brunt of the explosion.

As the smoke cleared and the dust settled, the White Gundam emerged from the wreckage relatively unscathed, its armor scorched but still intact. But as it attempted to power up its systems once more, something went terribly wrong.

The explosion had taken its toll, overclocking the White Gundam's internal mechanisms and causing them to malfunction.

With a low groan, the White Gundam shuddered and came to a halt, its systems failing abruptly. Inside, White initiated the ejection mode, propelling himself into the cramped confines of his cockpit.
