Gundam Wing Just wild beat communication
Standing in the lashing rain
I want to show my passionate, undying feelings
With my entire body tonight!
I hold onto your wet shoulders to give you warmth and comfort
What are those shivering fingertips wandering after?
I want to protect the honest look in your eye
Believing in the love that'll change sorrow to strength
Just wild beat communication
Standing in the lashing rain
I want to show my passionate, undying feelings
With my entire body tonight!
Father, please escape!
Quatre, I am escaping.
I'm not putting up a fight.
This fight will never end, so I've opted to run away.
If I should die, then so be it.
I'm not so attached to space that I'll compromise myself!
FATHER!!!
Father?!
FATHER!!
The Fight for Independence
It's huge...
I wonder what kind of person this goodwill ambassador is.
Gentlemen!
That mobile suit was used against OZ on Earth.
We'll check it, for security.
The new system since OZ and the colonies became united...
...has had a considerable influence on Earth.
On behalf of my nation...
...I've come to find out about this situation.
Your nation...?
That's correct.
I've come here from the Sanc Kingdom.
I'm Milliardo Peacecraft.
Oh, His Excellency has had ties with the Sanc Kingdom...
...since his youth.
I heard your nation was recovering from the wars.
I think I understand the implications of war.
So I thought I could give advice...
...to the colonies desiring military power.
There are many ways to obtain peace for oneself.
Between us, we'll find the best direction to take.
Then will you allow me to act on my own accord...
...while I'm here in space?
Of course.
You might be on the right track to peace...
...Representative Lady Une.
Peacecraft, huh?!
He's none other than that OZ traitor, Zechs Merquise!!
Space Colony D 120.
Where the United Earth Sphere Alliance command station...
...is located.
OZ wasn't controlling the colonies by force...
...but recommending they join a nation of the colonies.
D 120 continued in its function as Earth's voice in outer space...
...not forgoing its position as a military institute from Earth.
Son of the Alliance Space Force Commander General Septem...
...Gwinter was the colony's representative.
The former Alliance members associated with him...
...had been troubled by the colonial independence policy...
...backed by OZ.
What are you hesitating for?
OZ is trying to secure even more power for themselves.
We must stop them.
Technological strength will just become a threat to the Earth.
OZ thinks of space as merely a factory for military supplies!
Only we can stop them!
It's our mission!!
A battle will result in many casualties.
With our military strength, dialogue is still an option.
They're planning to use outer space...
...to develop and manufacture mobile dolls.
These murder weapons will allow OZ...
...to take over and dictate the colonies.
Does everybody feel the same?
Zechs Merquise has arrived in space.
The Lightning Count is alive?
It's Earth that fears increased arms in space the most.
Zechs knows OZ well and he wishes for peace on Earth.
We should take some time to hear what he has to say.
Zechs has nothing to do with OZ anymore.
What's he doing in space?
That man holds a great affection for his homeland.
He knew someone had to take action.
Even though it was risky.
This visit holds significance.
Very nicely done, Treize Kushrenada!
The people in space are close to accepting OZ.
So it seems.
And Colonel Une's achievements have been impressive.
She's forming friendly relations with one colony after another.
The sense of independence built by forming a nation...
...will trigger a desire for productivity and defense.
This leads to the nation becoming militaristic.
Which means that every country on the Earth...
...will jump into OZ's arms and beg to be governed by us.
It's beautiful, Treize.
You've made space a member of the Romefeller Foundation.
Excuse me, sir.
Oh, Mr. Tubarov; have you finished packing?
Yes.
Tubarov is heading for outer space to oversee...
...mobile doll production and strengthen our military force.
Lady Une has readily accepted the new addition.
Lady Une did?
Colonel Une seems to be very pleased with the mobile dolls!
Your Excellency, it's been a long time.
It's Lady Une.
Lady Une...?
I was sure you'd be coming with Chief Engineer Tubarov.
I want to talk about that.
How do you plan to utilize the mobile dolls?
I'll use them as your soldiers so you won't need to suffer.
My soldiers?
You're not being fair.
You're the one who must lead the world.
But you've simply left the world in a state of confusion.
I came here to be of some assistance to you.
And I've also laid out a new future for you.
Wars will never disappear from the world.
Therefore the strongest should rule the world.
People even take pleasure in being controlled by the strong.
It's merely natural for the world to continue fighting.
But that encourages meaningless bloodshed.
You're capable of loving all people.
You have a heart that can make you a god.
From outer space, you can create peace on Earth.
Lady.
These are your ideals for the future.
It's what you wanted, Your Excellency.
My ideal is merely the fantasy of one individual.
History is an accumulation of daily events.
I have no interest in an individual's future.
Your future's already been determined.
Your future's destined to be in outer space.
Lady...
I'm not that strong.
Zechs and the Gundam pilots are making an effort...
...to construct a new future.
There's no need to hurry.
History will repeat itself.
Lady...
Please come back to me.
The Lady Une that I was so fond of.
Yes!
It's Zechs Merquise, for sure.
So Zechs is in space?
He's establishing relations...
...with the Alliance's Military Colony.
Lieutenant Nichol.
Destroy the Alliance's Space Force.
There's no reason to leave them roaming about...
... now that the mobile dolls have been completed.
Yes, sir!
I've also sent Colonel Une orders for the near future.
Tell her I want her comments.
Sir.
Welcome.
We were enemies at one point.
But changes in wartime bring changes in relationships.
I care about the Earth, just as the Alliance does.
I heard you came from Earth...
...to discuss the current arms issue of the Space Colonies.
If this simply involved a new military nation being formed...
...then I wouldn't be worried.
However, if they're being tricked by OZ...
...then I can't ignore it.
OZ is planning to use space as its military factory.
That would result in even more severe disputes on Earth...
...and serious casualties.
How do you feel about the people in space, Mr. Peacecraft?
Teachings of the great leader, the late Heero Yuy, still exist.
Outer space once thrived as a world...
...neither tainted by Earth's history nor in need of arms.
The colonies set an example for all Earth's peaceful nations.
They set an example.
If only the people in space had heard that sooner.
Perhaps they wouldn't have changed their minds.
Why not tell Mr. Peacecraft about the colonies' people?
And the reason we decided to remain in space!
The reason you stayed here...?
Right.
When the Alliance was defeated by OZ...
...our first thought was to immediately surrender.
We thought...
...surrendering would leave space in great turmoil.
The Space Colonies is a realm of precise calculations.
For instance, this management center always supported...
...this colony's life zone.
The colony's rotation operations...
...checking atmospheric conditions...
...and weather management.
Natural phenomena that are taken for granted on Earth...
...are generated by machinery controlled by people.
To live in this atmosphere...
...people needed a new awareness.
There's insecurity...
Unless you can completely ignore insecurity...
...you'll have difficulties living here.
And insecure people feel the need for weapons.
Because weapons give people a sense of security.
At what point can one lose that sense of insecurity?
Men in space will attack Earth, in their search for stable land.
It's an OZ mobile suit transport vessel.
Looks like they're finally going to attack us!
I'd like to be part of your counterattack.
A goodwill ambassador mustn't be involved in a battle!
I switch between two identities.
My experience in battle has taught me to be cunning.
Gundam Wing
Colonel!
I beg your pardon.
That's fine.
This is the Romefeller Foundation's plan...
...to send space-manufactured mobile dolls to Earth.
To resolve all disputes on Earth at once?
Everybody comes to that conclusion.
I don't intend to send mobile dolls to Earth.
The Foundation's plan...
...will mean more bloodshed on Earth.
The strong shall rule the Earth.
That's all we need to attain peace.
But now His Excellency has refused his mission...
...to rule the world.
His Excellency...?
True public order will never be possible...
...unless His Excellency comes to outer space.
There's no point in my staying here.
Not true, Colonel.
You still have your duty to serve as an OZ soldier.
As an OZ soldier?
You'd be doing him a favor by staying.
A soldier only needs to follow orders.
Colonel, you're a leader who stands above the soldiers.
But your superior abilities can be heightened as an OZ soldier.
I implore you to serve as an OZ soldier.
Not to guide His Excellency, but to support him.
As an OZ soldier to support Master Treize...
That's what His Excellency desires.
Master Treize desires that...?
The mobile dolls have started a battle in the A Area...
...of the Alliance Military Base.
They'll be in range of Barge's beam cannon in 600 seconds.
What damage can we do to the Alliance Colony?
If we can destroy their electrical power control...
...and management facilities, one shot should wipe it out.
Okay!
Many civilians live there, as well as military officers.
They're employees.
They'd know it's risky living in a military fortress.
Does Colonel Une know about this?
I'm acting on direct orders from Duke Dermail!
We're to crush them and that OZ traitor, Zechs Merquise.
I'll get the Mercurius and Vayeate ready.
Stop, Trowa Barton!
Don't go near the mobile suit gate.
I don't trust traitors, whether they're enemies or allies!
Lady Une isn't aware of this either?
The Colonel has left for the battle against the Alliance!
She left me in charge of operations!
Restrain this man at once!
I won't overstep my boundaries as an OZ soldier.
But I have doubts about your plan...
...not to use the Vayeate and the Mercurius...
...to support the Colonel's troops.
A soldier doesn't need to think so much!
Ideals about peace are for people in the top ranks.
All we need to do is pursue victory.
Get closer!
Make up for reaction time in close-range combat!
I did it!
All right!
What?!
We've lost 50% of our Leo troops!
We believe all the enemy Tauruses are mobile dolls!
20% of our defense line has been destroyed!
Have the remaining civilians in the colony been evacuated?
Yes.
They left on our large shuttle and are headed for safety.
In any case, mobile dolls alone can't destroy this colony.
I expect that Barge will be making the final blow.
This colony is finished.
What do you mean, Grandfather?
This is the first time a colony has been destroyed in war...
...since the colonies were built.
Mankind needs to be shown how tragic the destruction is.
Those of us who brought military power to space...
...and the colonies who are considering it for themselves...
...must remember this, so the wrong path won't be taken.
It hardly compensates for what we've done...
...but I hope our deaths send the message.
I'm sorry to have dragged you into this, Grandfather.
My thoughts exactly.
I'm sorry, Gwinter.
Barge's beam cannon?!
Are they seriously going to wipe out the colony?
Treize is hoping we'll put up a fight.
Can't you create a new future, Treize?
There's no choice left but to battle.
It's the only way that remains.
Without fighting, nothing can be created.
What?
Treize!
Zechs Merquise...
Or rather, my eternal friend, Milliardo Peacecraft.
I'm delighted to hear you've shown up in outer space.
OZ is changing, and I'm sorely lacking in power.
Romefeller's way, or rather...
...the path that mankind is taking, is too selfish.
I never expected their increased power...
... would lead them to abandon their compassion.
I used to believe that OZ's duty wasn't to take part in war.
But to educate soldiers who had the heart to fight.
Soon battles will be fought without people.
I'm merely one soldier.
I chose of my own free will to resist that outcome.
Milliardo.
I don't have the power to alter the path chosen by Romefeller.
I'm glad to speak with someone who understands me.
Milliardo, there's one other person who understands me.
Her feelings toward me have given her split personalities.
Lady Une...
I'm making the person closest to me feel insecure.
I've got no right to talk about the future.
I implore you, Milliardo.
Please save her.
I'm going to fight for Treize...
...to help realize his ideal!
The Alliance Colony is entering firing range.
Fire the beam cannon!!
But Colonel Une is still on the battlegrounds!
That doesn't matter; just follow your orders!
The Colonel knows the dangers!
What?!
Lady Une would cancel any orders to attack the colony.
She's learned just how fragile the colonies are.
They missed it!
Was that intentional?
Take me there...
Take me to Fortress Barge.
Colonel, you're safe!
Colonel...?
Nichol.
I was able to learn a great deal as a soldier today.
Very informative.
And as your superior, I can't overlook what you've done.
Colonel...
The actions you took were justified.
And what I'm about to do is also justified!!
Treize...
I've got no power.
In the confusion of all these battles...
...I can only walk the path of a soldier.
The Romefeller Foundation decides to build...
...mobile doll manufacturing facilities on the moon.
The mass-produced mobile dolls will be used against Earth.
The strategy is to send them to Earth...
...and quickly resolve the many disputes on Earth...
...by wiping out the opponents.
With these ultimate weapons...
...the world heads for an age where soldiers are redundant.
Unidentified object headed this way!
What?!
It's a Gundam!!
A Gundam has found us!!
Assassinate the mobile dolls' Chief Engineer?
That's an easy mission.
Troops from the Lunar Base are headed for the Gundam!
I have no bullets, no fuel and hardly any propulsive energy.
Okay, Chief Engineer.
My life's in your hands!!
Full retreat!
Wait!
Take a look!
The Gundam doesn't have the power to retaliate.
Interesting machine.
I'd like to take it to the Lunar Base and check it out.
Calling Lunar Base.
Stop your attack and capture the Gundam.
Yes, sir!
Thanks.
That's very kind of you, Chief Engineer.
Nataku.
We have to become a lot stronger.
I hear they have a factory.
Maybe they'll help us get stronger.
To be continued
