Salvatia Intervenes into Gundam SEED Universe

Chapter 6

Zarkta is on top of the hillside mountain, keeping an eye on everyone below and the surrounding area. His mech fighter, the Sinanju Inquisitor, is kneeling behind him. He preferred not to interact with other resistance fighters or Archangel crew members while conducting reconnaissance. Crossing his arms, he looked around and noticed something interesting. Using his visor, he zoomed in to see Kira and Sai Argyle having some sort of argument involving a dark-haired girl named Flay Allster. He couldn't hear them but was spying to see what was happening. Nonetheless, he decided not to interfere since it had nothing to do with him.

Zarkta: Human teenagers.

He snorted. Then he heard someone calling him from a distance.

???: Hey!

He turns around to see a familiar blonde girl, Cagalli Athha, approaching him with a serious expression, seeking answers. She stops near him, staring through the visor, unable to see his eyes underneath the helmet, and then he speaks.

Zarkta: What is it, girl?

Cagalli Athha: Listen here, I don't know who or what you are wearing that armor, but I feel there's something you do not want to share with everyone about you.

Zarkta: So? What's it to you?

He crossed his arms.

Cagalli Athha: I wanna know where did you come from, what's the big deal of fighting Strike Gundam, and what the hell is that mobile suit you're riding on?

She pointed her finger at the Sinanju Inquisitor.

Zarkta: And why would I share the information with you?

He said casually. Irradiated, Cagalli pushed him to ask more questions.

Cagalli: There's no way that thing isn't a normal mobile suit, and neither is the Gundam model. Where did you come from, and who did you work with to create that kind of thing? Also, why are you wearing that armor?"

Zarkta: To protect from bullets, obviously?

He replied.

Zarkta: You and all people should know that you are entering a new era where your people are creating new inventions based on sci-fi novels that become reality. This includes the creation of war machines, namely the mobile suits and Gundam. For the military, it needs protection to avoid being shot while continuing to fight the enemy.

Then he stepped closer to her face.

Zarkta: As for the rest of the information, they are classified. I will not share everything to you or everyone else unless my superior allows it. Until then, you got nothing on me.

Cagalli clenched her teeth and balled up her fist, wanting to punch him. However, knowing he was wearing a helmet and speculating that he had military experience, she realized she couldn't throw a punch at him. They continued staring at each other until they heard a commotion coming from below. They turned their heads to see Desert Dawn resistance members boarding their vehicles and quickly moving out.

Cagalli: What the? What's going on down there?

Then, Zarktafelt his blue eyes glowing from inside the helmet and turned in the direction of his mech fighter.

Cagalli: Hey! Where are you going!

Ignoring her words, he opens the cockpit and enters to take a seat, beginning the process of connecting his Sinanju Inquisitor by transferring his consciousness into the mech fighter's mind. The Sinanju Inquisitor activates its red monoeye system and anti-gravity system, allowing it to fly without the need for traditional thrusters. It turns around and readies its repulsor-shaped large wing thruster engines for ignition, blasting away toward Tassel town.
