You came into contact with Celestial Being's members during the conflict in Azadistan four years ago, correct?
Earth Federation Forces
Imprisonment Camp for Anti-Government Forces
I believe I already told you about that four years ago.
The situation has changed since then.
You are once again a key person now that a new Gundam has appeared.
The First Princess of the Kingdom of Azadistan, Marina Ismail.
aiga aiha omosugirutte ikaiwo kobami
Our love broke our bond with the reason that "It's just too much,"
nikushimini kawattekawaru maeni
before it turned into hatred.
nanimokamo soudarou
Everything is just like that.
batsuno warui jijouniha itsumo futashite
The terrible circumstances always cover that.
kuwasemonono real
It's the reality of the powerful.
yuganda dilemma daite
Embracing a distorted dilemma...
yakusokushita hazuno futarisae kidukazu toorisugiteyuku
Without noticing, even the two who have pledged are being separated far away.
kowashiatte wakariaeta kokoro
Even my shattered heart
okizarinishita korega nareno hatenano
is deserted as if it were something normal.
mitomenaide tachimukatte tokino
I won't accept this and stand up
ochiteku tokino image kara nigedasezuni
without escaping of the image of my ruin.
aa nandodemo sagashidasuyo
Ah, I'll search for your eyes and
kimino me sono teno nukumoriwo
the warmth of your hand no matter how long it takes.
"aiha itsumo atashiwo kizutsukerudake"tte kimiha tsubuyaite
You murmured that love always hurt you.
shinjirukotoga kowakute naitendarou
You were crying, afraid of finding the truth.
yowasawo shitte soshite
You've learned what it meant to be weak, and
osorezu shinjirukotode hontouno aiwo shiruno darou
without fearing and believing, you will learn what true love is.
The Strategy to Rescue Allelujah
The move to make the Federation Security Bureau a sub-organization of the Autonomous Peacekeeping Force has been approved by Parliament.
A 40-million-strong army...
Its creation was made possible solely by the existence of Veda's information control.
I'm honoured to have been of assistance.
The Federation Government will not yield to the slightest opposition.
Even if it's towards the upcoming dialogue.
I anticipate your performance.
Of course.
This is what... we are born for.
I am faithfully carrying out Aeolia Schenberg's plan.
That is something humans can't do.
The only ones capable of doing that are us, the Innovators.
That princess from Azadistan...
You've left her alone all this while. Why did you have a change of heart?
You know why.
Will they come?
They will come for sure.
A Gundam Meister is there, after all.
Wake up, specimen E-57.
Is he the one?
The Gundam pilot who has been imprisoned in this cell for the last four years.
He's not affected by my quantum brain waves...
Based on reports,
it's due to head injuries, but...
Marie...
We finally meet.
You're alive after all,
Marie.
Marie?
It's me!
The one who always talked to you back at Home, Allelujah!
My name isn't Marie!
No, you are Marie.
Lagrange 1 Resource Observation Satellites
Any combat experience with mobile suits?
How could I possibly have any?
The closest thing would be operating an industrial workloader.
You've brought quite a novice back with you... Damn you, Setsuna.
Hey, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, right?
Let's get along, my cute instructor.
Don't make fun of me.
Lyle Dylandy...
Mileina, are the Arios and Cherudim loaded into position?
It's completed.
What is Sumeragi doing?
She's staying cooped up in her room.
She's insisting that it's not like she's rejoined Celestial Being.
It's just as the records said.
Celestial Being and the Thrones were conducting armed interventions from different standpoints.
You're saying you aren't comrades?
Right.
Even so, you kill people with your Gundams all the same.
You've caused people to end up in circumstances like mine.
You've done things that naturally provoked hatred.
We know.
The world was peaceful.
Those days should have continued.
You were the ones who destroyed my peace!
Is it okay for only you to have peace?
That's not what I'm saying.
But...
No one wants to be unhappy.
Lieutenant, has anything changed since your transfer to A-LAWS?
Nothing in particular.
Just more training than usual.
I see...
Colonel, does the name "Marie" exist within the materials related to the Superhuman Facility?
Marie? No, I'm not sure.
I just took a rough glance at the materials that were confiscated.
I see.
I have something to attend to, so I will take my leave.
Okay.
Enter.
First Lieutenant, the main squadron has arrived.
Okay, get everyone into position before they establish contact!
Yes, Ma'am.
Abide by the mission plan and bolster the security measures.
Contact First Lieutenant Peries from the forward squadron.
Yes, Ma'am.
The pilot of the shuttlecock...
He was imprisoned in there?
There hasn't been any information passed down since he was handed over to the top echelon...
A-LAWS knew about this.
As indicated by Level 2 information,
the existence of the Meisters has been confirmed.
A-LAWS is starting to gather.
Milady, what should I do?
We will deal with that here.
You may return.
Roger.
Marie, why did you change your name?
Moreover, the way you act...
As I thought, another personality has...
We received an encoded transmission from Wang Liu Mei.
HRL's Imprisonment Camp for Anti-Government Forces...
Allelujah Haptism was discovered there!
I know him! He's a Meister!
I see, he was captured by the Federation.
No wonder we didn't know his whereabouts.
Feldt, gather everyone.
It's time for briefing.
What? Allelujah has been found?
Allelujah? Who's that?
A friend! A friend!
Allelujah is...
Colonel!
Why was the search for the Gundam abandoned?
There is no longer a need for that.
No longer a need?
It seems that HQ has set bait for Celestial Being.
It's bad for the ground forces, but this is a good chance to investigate the strength of the enemy.
Is it true that Allelujah has been found?
Yeah, it's certified information from Wang Liu Mei.
It's time to start the rescue operation.
Rescue? Just how...
I want you to figure that out.
Sumeragi Lee Noriega,
please give us tactical predictions.
But...
With his return,
the operation of the four Gundams can start once again.
However, I feel uneasy about this.
Oops.
Please help us, it's to save Allelujah.
Sumeragi.
Use this.
Stop it.
Don't pin your hopes on me.
My predictions aren't able to change anything.
They just end up putting everyone in danger.
We never regretted them.
We never blamed you even if the mission failed.
No matter what we do.
Allelujah...
Our friend...
We want to save him.
Please, give us a strategy.
Feldt, could you give me data on current combat capabilities and the battle situation later on?
Sumeragi...!
Detailed data from Wang Liu Mei has arrived.
Amazing...
There's even a list of who's imprisoned and where.
Ah, this is...
If we can prevent the carrier from firing its particle beam...
Putting that aside,
the high stats of Lyle Dylandy...
Just what is going on...
00, Seravee, initiating launch preparations.
Finally, actual combat.
I don't think you'll be making an appearance.
That's a relief.
The first and second deck...
The ship is starting to get noisy, is something going on?
Rescuing a friend. Rescuing a friend.
Friend?
Operation commencing. Operation commencing.
They're fighting again...
Seravee, personal bazooka equipped.
It's great that we activated the twin drive but it's still a long way from being stable.
Don't make use of Trans-Am.
Understood.
A mission plan from Sumeragi has arrived!
Hey, hey, what's up with this plan?
It's bold!
A 300-second blitzkrieg attack...
That is indeed Sumeragi Lee Noriega.
Eh? There's something for me to do as well.
However, that's only convenient for me.
What is? What is?
I'm just talking to myself.
I'll leave support to you, Haro.
Ptolemaios, switching to atmospheric reentry sequence.
00, Seravee, Cherudim, preparate to launch.
The mission will commence at 0043 hours.
Arios will remain in launch position.
Setsuna.
What is it?
We found another name in the report Wang Liu Mei sent us,
in the same place Allelujah is imprisoned in.
M-Marina is...
Marina Ismail is in the same facility as Allelujah.
Fully expanding GN Field.
Commencing atmospheric reentry.
Colonel, there's an incoming call from the Pillar Observatory.
They have secured images of something entering the atmosphere.
It has the dimensions of a transport-class vessel.
Impossible.
A spaceship landing straight on the ground...
Prepare a barrage.
Mobile suit squadrons, prepare for launch!
First Lieutenant Peries, the enemy is approaching.
Secure E-57.
Yes, Ma'am.
They're already here?!
Gundam...
The MS hanger is...
Hurry!
Celestial Being's spaceship has...
All cannons, fire!
They aren't slowing down?!
Could it be...
Fully expanding GN Field!
Ptolemy, submarine mode!
We're charging into the sea!
T-The enemy vessel has gone underwater!
Launch missiles to counter them!
Yes, Ma'am!
Were they aiming to halve the effectiveness of our particle beam with this situation?
Setsuna, Tieria, it will take about 300 seconds for the particle beam to scatter.
Get Allelujah during that period.
Understood.
We'll do it within three minutes.
How about using the remaining two minutes to save someone else?
Marina...
What?
This vibration...
The enemy mobile suits have started to sortie!
Cherudim, commencing sniping operations.
You don't have to hit, just distract them.
Understood.
Hey, Haro.
Did my brother use to say anything during combat?
Sniping the targets! Sniping the targets!
All right.
Cherudim Gundam, Lockon Stratos, sniping the targets!
What a huge amount of particles!
I'll defend this spot to the death!
If I could get closer...
I won't move an inch!
What the...
An attack from another direction?
Cherudim is shooting the enemies down.
He wasn't a novice?
He was...
Shot down! Shot down!
A fluke. A fluke.
I-I can't get close.
How's the rescue squad?
What?
Kataron?
I'll deal with this place alone.
Lieutenant, go and secure E-57!
I'll leave the rest to you.
What?!
Kataron is releasing the prisoners?!
Are they working together with Celestial Being?!
Just what is...
Setsuna, why...
Head towards that point.
Arios will be there.
Arios?
Your Gundam.
Allelujah located.
Send Arios...!
Sure thing!
Arios launching!
Ptolemy, resubmerging.
Create a diversion with GN Missiles while moving towards the rendezvous point.
120 seconds remaining.
The prisoners have been set free...
This wasn't done by Setsuna and the rest.
What are they...
This is the designated point...
Gundam...
Stop!
That's as far as you go, specimen E-57.
They're fighting outside?
Why...
Can you hear me?
Move away from the door.
Move away.
Let's go.
Setsuna...
Barely 30 seconds left.
Marie...
Don't move!
Marie!
That isn't my name!
No, that's your real name.
Marie...
Marie Perfacy.
Marie Perfacy?
Marie, Marie...
Wh-What was that vision?
Marie!
Surrender, E-57!
Lieutenant, are you all right?
Setsuna, Allelujah, we're almost out of time.
Roger that.
Damn...
Marie is just over there...
Allelujah, what's wrong?
Allelujah! Allelujah!
Roger that.
Marie...
I'll definitely come back to get you.
Definitely!
There are three Gundams?!
Shit!
Cease fire!
Should we pursue them?
Ensuring the security of the facility comes first.
Yes, Madam.
The Gundams have withdrawn.
Commencing evacuation procedures.
Mission complete. Mission complete.
We somehow made it.
We were successful in rescuing our comrades!
It's all thanks to the information from Gene-1.
Yeah, he did a great job.
Shirin,
I've listened to the reports of the members of the rescue team.
What is it?
One of them personally witnessed the First Princess of the Kingdom of Azadistan,
Marina Ismail, present within the facility.
M-Marina was imprisoned?!
Most likely.
And?
Sorry, we weren't able to protect her.
That's...
However, reports indicate that someone seemingly from Celestial Being has taken Princess Marina with him.
Taken her with him?
Celestial Being did?
Perhaps...
Marina...

Sadly, the place where you might lose your life

Thanks, Tieria.
Allelujah,
why were you captured by the Federation Government?
Was information about the Superhuman Facility...
Wow, this ship is amazing.
It can even function as an underwater vessel.
Lockon!
How?!
I'm sick of that reaction.
S-Sorry.
You're still the same.
Is that so?
There's no need to force yourself to change.
Welcome back, Allelujah.
Yeah, I'm back.
You were dragged into unnecessary trouble all because you got involved with me.
Sorry, Marina.
Setsuna, why?
Why are you fighting again?
Because it's all I can do.
That's a lie!
There are plenty of ways to live without fighting.
I can't think of one.
That is why my wish cannot be fulfilled other than through fighting.
That's just...
That's just too sad.
Why are you crying?
Because you aren't.
Those who make errors are the ones who must correct them.
The journey to atonement is the journey to rebirth.
