14 Years Ago
We have received a transmission from the tactical operations center.
They are telling us to abandon line B by 0030,
and retreat back to the final defensive line!
Dispatch reinforcements to Platoon Four.
Have all forces begin retreating.
We can't give up!
We must protect the final defensive line to the death,
or the numerous engineers working on the orbital elevator and their families will be in danger.
Our mission as soldiers is to protect them.
But Holly is in Platoon Four!
She's a soldier too.
She's already mentally prepared.
My mother's remains were never found.
After that, I didn't get to have a proper conversation with my father.
Father killed Mother by following military protocol.
dare ka wo kanashimasete made waraenakute mo
"As long as I'm not hurting anyone, it's all right not to smile."
sou itte kanojo wa utsumuitetan da yoru ni naita
She said as she lowered her head in shame and cried through the night.
tsumetaku haritsuite kogoeteiru
I cling on coldly as I start to freeze.
furitsuzuku genjitsu ni kasa nado nai
Umbrellas don't exist in this reality of never-ending rain.
ikiteyuku koto ga tatakai nante
"To live is to fight."
sonna riyuu dake de tojikomarareta
For precisely that reason, I keep them hidden away:
My heart, my story.
namida no mukou ga mieru no kagayaiteiru
Beyond your tears, that brilliance you see
chiisa na mado ni wa ano koro mitai ni aoi sora ga utsuru
is the blue sky from back then reflected in a tiny window.
Ah, but I can't fly like a bird.
aa tori no you ni tobe wa shinai kedo
dare ka wo kanashimaseta toki kanjiru itami
The pain you feel when you hurt someone...
wasurenai you ni sotto me wo tojite naita
I closed my eyes and wept, so I wouldn't forget it.
Within the Scattered Light
Our optical camera has detected a large object above the orbital elevator!
As I thought...
They built two?
Are they serious about firing?
That's just...
How can they be allowed to do this?!
To think that they are planning to attack the lower orbital station with an orbital weapon!
Even so, they will still do it.
What?!
The commander is willing to bear all their sins in order to realize eternal peace.
Memento Mori...
Humans need to be aware of death.
We must remind them of how precious peace is.
Africa Tower's
Low Orbital Station
Relay this to all our men:
Hasten the process of getting the citizens to Earth!
Don't forget to report to the ground troops about this!
Yes, Sir!
All hands, prepare to escape!
My plan was too foolish.
The moment I took the citizens hostage,
the Federation considered them as anti-government forces since they knew the truth.
Yes.
The Federation will destroy this place and erase the lives of 60,000 people
in order to cement their position.
A foolish action...
With the advent of the Industrial Revolution,
humans who achieved technological civilization
have used that wisdom for conflict and are now facing destruction.
Leaders of the great eras reached the end of their usefulness after a few decades,
and the world has once again returned to an era of chaos.
That's the history of the world... of humans.
Humans have learned nothing from the past.
That is why Aeolia Schenberg created the Innovators.
That which is not human, possessing a greater lifespan than humans, will save humanity from destruction.
For the dialogues to come...
We are the only ones capable of doing that.
Have you forgotten that I was the one who made you?
In other words, I am your creator.
The Innovators won't be guiding humanity.
I, Ribbons Almark, will.
Electrical supply, 38%.
The system is operating normally.
Commence firing the moment that charging is completed.
Yes, Sir!
Observe closely.
Watch as something that took over a century of human wisdom to build is destroyed.
Those bastards from A-LAWS have finally shown their true nature.
Could this be the result of the Innovators' manipulation?
Katharon's squadron is escaping.
B-Bastards...
Why are you doing this now?!
Stop this, Lockon!
You are being too reckless!
This is an estimation of the damage that the orbital weapon would cause if fired at the lower orbital station.
T-This is...!
Send Ptolemy into space?!
You must be kidding!
It's impossible in the current situation.
But the lives of many people are at stake!
Setsuna?
I'll launch in the 00.
What are you saying? You are still injured!
The only thing that can stop the orbital weapon is the 00-Raiser.
You should know that.
Trans-Am Raiser...
I'll leave the mission plan to you.
You will need a pilot for the 0-Raiser.
I'd go and ask Lasse, but...
Pilot the 0-Raiser.
Me?
60,000 lives are at stake here.
We are fighting to protect them.
Protecting...
The probability of success is low...
However, I don't want to give up before we even begin.
Fighting to protect...
Wear this.
I'll leave it to you. Protect those lives.
Okay!
We will perform a two stage acceleration with the catapult. Understand?
Roger.
I'm fighting a machine.
Not a human.
Opening Ptolemy's first and third hatch.
Transferring launch timing to the two machines.
Setsuna F Seiei, launching!
Saji Crossroad, heading out!
We're docking!
0-Raiser, docking mode!
The citizens and soldiers have headed towards Earth.
You should escape too.
Huh? You are...?
I am the commander of this operation.
I will see to it to the end.
Whatever happens after this...
Please convey the truth to the next generation.
You can't atone for your sins just by doing that!
You are a soldier!
If you are a soldier, then protect the citizens!
Try to save them, even if it's only one out of many!
Then you can die!
They are preparing to fire?!
Let's go!
Electrical supply, 93%.
An enemy suit is approaching.
Launch the Empruss.
Yes, Sir.
Setsuna...
Releasing all compressed particles!
Activate the Raiser system!
G-Got it.
An enemy?!
Can't let you do that, Gundam!
S-Saji!
System...
I shall avenge Bring!
Trans-Am Raiser!
Electrical supply, completed.
Commence firing.
Commencing firing.
A high energy object is approaching.
What?
They missed?
The particle beam is...!
W-What?!
It wasn't a shot?!
It's a beam saber?!
We did it!
It's not enough!
S-Stop!
Stop it!
Africa Tower's
High Orbital Station
T-The underpillar of the elevator system is starting to autopurge!
Check the auto-balancer!
Anchor release has been confirmed!
The exterior wall of the pillar is...!
Hurry!
The laser struck the pillar!
The exterior of the pillar is starting to autopurge!
Due to adiabatic compression,
fragments entering from above the stratosphere will burn up in the air...
However, those below will...
Fall on Earth.
I am...
Get a grip!
Right now, only think about how to minimize the damage!
What's that?
Could it be...?
The orbital elevator is...
Collapsing!
To all suits in this airspace...
Sumeragi?
I'm transmitting data via visual communication to you.
What?
Please destroy the pillar fragments that will be entering from the air regions stated in the data I sent.
Densely populated zones are located beneath.
What?!
If we leave things as they are, millions of lives will be lost.
That is why, please, everyone help.
Releasing compressed particles!
Haro!
Deploying shield bits!
There are too many!
Shit!
That is...?
Marie!
This isn't a fight.
It's to save lives!
Damn! If this goes on...
Shit!
That is...!
Katharon?!
The suits from the coup d'Ã©tat faction?!
Those motherfuckers!
What?
Even the regular army is...
Somehow, we managed to avoid any direct hits to the urban areas.
Thank goodness...
Everyone acting as one in such a situation...
How ironic.
But it isn't bad.
A mobile suit squadron is approaching us from port side!
It's A-LAWS!
They were waiting for a chance like this?!
We have to get Mr. Erde and the rest to retreat!
Carry on.
Is this okay?
If she's their commander,
then she'll definitely...
Even though it's an order...
I can't abandon lives.
I'll live a life different from my father's!
That suit is...
Marie!
What?!
Suits appeared from the pillar?!
Yes.
The leaders of the renegades?
Come with me.
Roger.
I thank you for your help.
It's really you, Colonel Smirnov.
Peries?!
Why are you piloting a mobile suit?
Incoming.
A-LAWS?!
That voice...
Colonel Hercules?
A-Andrei?
What...
are you doing?!
Lieutenant,
a large fragment is...!
W-What?!
Shit, it wasn't broken down by the autopurge!
If this goes on...
Gundam?!
Trans-Am!
GN Bazooka, Hyper Burst Mode!
It wasn't effective?
Lockon! Allelujah!
Trans-Am!
The orbital elevator is...
How is the world going to change from now on...?
If only our song reached them.
What a tragedy...
Are you all right, Hercules?
Unbelievable...
Something like this...
Something irredeemable like this...
Hercules!
You are the ones who caused this tragedy!
B-Bastard...!
That voice!
A-Andrei?!
Father... don't tell me you were with the renegades...
What...
What are you doing?!
W-Wait!
You killed mother by obeying military protocol!
You even supported the coup d'Ã©tat!
Wait, Andrei!
You are a disgrace as a soldier!
Colonel Smirnov!
Celestial Being!
Louise!
Colonel!
Mother's...
Andrei...
...Revenge!

No, hanasanaide
No, don't let go.
Darling.
I'll leave Andrei to you if something were to happen to me during the next mission.
Hey, hey...
I understand. It'll be okay.
Andrei...
Sorry...
I was slow...
in trying to find a way...
to approach you, who had closed off your heart...
Why are you saying that now?!
L-Let go of me.
Holly...
Sorry...
Colonel...
Colonel Smirnov...
Colonel!
It's been four months since the orbital elevator collapsed.
In the changed world,
can people only be trifled with and drift along with the flow?
Next time, Intertwined Feelings.
Someone is shouting in the middle of combat.
