To Earth
Welcome back!
If they're allowed to brag just because they're the Titans...!
Even I can do that!
Are you boarding without introducing yourself?
I guess you don't have to.
You're well known for flying out and returning without doing a thing.
Because you're a member of the Titans, I had greater expectations of you.
The warships we're presently pursuing are the Argama and Mont Blanc.
It appears that they're heading for either Side 1, Side 2, or the Moon.
In addition, they will be taking a course close to the Earth and attempt...
...to attack our defense satellite on the way there.
In which case...
- No significant changes? - No, sir!
Perhaps their reduction in speed is meant to let our guard down.
Lieutenant Quattro.
They're probably in the midst of regrouping their forces.
Likely.
What is our present location?
Sir!
We'll reach the laser defense satellite network in about twenty-five minutes!
So, are we going through with this?
Ensign Reccoa was already convinced by Commodore Blex that she's going.
Ensign Reccoa? Can she do it?
Really. A mobile suit?
Astonaige.
- Never mind. - Sorry.
I've got work to do, so let me use it. Is this the Gundam Mk. II?
No.
It must be a tough job to try to collect all parts of Lieutenant Quattro's Rick Dias.
Thanks to that, the rebuilding of the Gundams has got to wait.
This is really well-designed!
I designed it after the Mk. Il and Dias and added a new armor.
I even gave it a name, the Zeta Gundam.
You can certainly tell that you're a Newtype.
That has nothing to do with it.
You're right on with the calculations.
- Just a fluke. - Huh?
- Let me hold onto the disk. - S-Sure.
Why do you have to hide it?
Miss Reccoa.
Are you sure about this?
The capsule's really well made, so there's nothing to worry about.
I'm referring to your duty. Actually...!
It's a job that even I could fulfill.
Kamille?
Who is it?
What do you want, Kamille?
Can't I visit you without a reason?
I just came to chat.
Please come in.
Just remember...
...if you've come here looking for sympathy, you won't get any from me.
You and I aren't in any sort of relationship.
Never mind!
I only wanted to ask why someone like you was with the Titans.
Kamille!
Here's your disk back.
What are you doing here?
Kamille!
He doesn't mean any harm, Ensign Reccoa.
I think I understand.
Pardon?
What a bleak room.
I'm here on probation, after all.
Could I ask you to take care of the plants in my room?
There isn't much time left.
Not much time?
I'm disembarking from the Argama.
I've located Ensign Reccoa, sir.
She's in the room of Lieutenant Emma on probation.
Lieutenant Emma's room?
An observation room?
Turn up the volume!
I cannot return to the Titans, and I don't even want to.
However...
I don't see any reason why the A. E. U. G. Has to be this belligerent.
Anyone can see that doing this will surely lead to an all-out war.
Was it really necessary to open fire on Green Oasis...
...and endanger the lives of innocent people?
Compared to people behind the Colony 30 Incident...
...what we did was almost nothing.
The Colony 30 Incident?
Side 1 's Colony 30 held a rally against the Earth Government.
What do you think Bask Om did to suppress it?
G3. Poison gas!
He used poison gas in a colony?
Impossible!
Poison gas in a colony?
That sounds like something Zeon would do.
But the use of G3 was prohibited after the colony drop that began the last war!
It couldn't have been used!
I imagine she's finding this extemely difficult to believe.
Especially because she was just thrown onto the totally opposite side.
We might need to show her what happened at Colony 30.
Yes.
She has the makings of a good pilot.
- For the A. E. U. G? - Of course.
I had no idea either.
- Cool! - Awesome!
In addition, as a member of the Titans, even if your rank remains the same...
...you will be recognized as having one rank higher than that of the regular military.
Which means we get three extra days of paid holidays a month!
You're right.
How indulgent!
That's why we end up with wimps like you, Lieutenant.
Then I will have you all take part in this operation...
...with Lieutenant Jerid as your team leader.
Why Lieutenant Jerid?!
I have much more experience out here in space.
I told you. Titan officers have a rank higher.
Yes, sir!
Wait!
What? Did you come to laugh at me?
I understand how you feel, but you won't beat me.
You're so simple-minded to come here and add to your embarrassment.
Why can't Earthnoids understand the difference between the Earth and space?
Why is it?!
Why is what?
I trained sufficiently on Earth.
My ability to adjust is superb...
...and that's why I was able to join the Titans.
The ability to adjust is different from the ability to cope.
Tell me! Why?!
Don't touch me!
As long as you continue acting like a brute, you'll never beat me.
Wh-Why do you say that acting this way is brutal?
Now you're getting on my nerves.
Such ways of doing and saying things are all your way, right?
You're not considering other people's feelings!
You're not going to get any closer to me...
...treating me like you treated the other women in your life.
I didn't mean to give that impression.
With each new atmosphere, each new partner, and each new situation...
...a different response is required of you!
But I believe I've always done that.
You haven't seen a thing yet. What do you expect to change?
Are you implying that I haven't seen anything yet?
If you had...
...you should've been victorious against that Gundam Mk. II.
Then tell me!
I want to defeat that bastard!
Why?
Why?!
I have thoughts of one day leading the Titans!
To do that, I must swallow my pride and learn from this!
You seem serious.
Okay, then commence operations from the Bosnia.
From your ship?
I'll teach you something.
You're late.
I'm sorry!
Lieutenant Quattro, were you aware of the Colony 30 Incident?
Yes.
I knew nothing more than that there was some sort of riot.
It was much more than that.
Why was there a riot?
Because humans cannot trust other people.
They don't trust others, so they doubt each other.
They doubt each other, so they eventually think others are wrong...
...and this forces them to make wrong choices.
Then Lieutenant Quattro, do you fight because you don't trust others?
No, I fight because the Titans are running out of control.
Then what am I to do?
What do you feel you should do?
Right now, I think I'm doing the right thing.
Then it is the right thing.
What's happening with Ensign Reccoa?
Oh...
...she's descending to the Earth.
Oh...
...she's descending to the Earth.
She's entering the Earth's atmosphere in a capsule.
If you need to tell her something, now would be the time.
Right!
He reminds me of Amuro Ray.
How's the capsule?
No problems!
She's a tough girl, but I can tell she's nervous.
She can descend with her eyes closed if she wants...
...unless no one gets in our way the moment we launch the capsule.
Yes. The enemy must be aware now...
...that we plan on destroying either their defense satellite or solar battery.
You're right.
Is Lieutenant Quattro prepared to launch yet?!
Listen, my troops will take off first.
I know.
In outer space, you must focus on all directions!
I must sense the enemy's hostility through the armor of the mobile suit, right?
That's what I'm saying.
"Emanate your mind through the vacuum of space," huh?
- How much more time? - You still have plenty of time.
Thank you.
Please leave me alone for a moment.
Yes, Ensign!
Where's Ensign Reccoa?
Ensign, are you going alone?
This thing only fits one person.
- Ensign. - Yes?
Ensign...!
We're on level two battle stations!
Don't you have anything better to do?
Opening airlock.
Right.
Lower the visor!
Apolly! Roberto!
We're taking a direct route after attacking the solar battery!
- Roger! - Roger!
Here we go!
Course is clear! Go ahead!
Enemy craft detected!
These things happen! We can't bring them back now!
Open the laser circuit!
Set your coordinates on the Rick Dias troop!
That's impossible!
Don't say that until you've tried!
Another way to live life is to hold back when the time is right to hold back.
All so that one can achieve greater success later!
Have we caught up with the enemy?
Quattro's unit will reach the air defense area of the solar battery in ten seconds.
Okay.
Do we still not have a laser circuit connection?!
Not yet, sir.
Hurry.
Don't get hit, Apolly.
If it's going to come to this anyway...!
GM unit from the Mont Blanc.
Attack the enemy fleet directly!
Bringing the Hohsenka up to the catapult deck.
Okay!
Raise the elevator!
The Hohsenka will be launched according to plan!
But the enemy's approaching! This is ridiculous!
Ensign Reccoa, don't worry.
We'll safely send you off in the direction of Jaburo.
Thank you.
Only one left!
Hey, Kamille! What are you up to now?!
I'm going out! Please raise the elevator.
Don't overdo it! What good will you be out there?!
Where's Lieutenant Quattro?
He's headed to the inner orbit defense satellite!
There are three enemy units... no, six or seven!
Kamille's in a disassembled Gundam?!
Kamille is?
Enemy units are close by, right?!
This is the Hohsenka! Reccoa speaking!
Would you like to get off and rest a bit?
No, sir!
Is she descending to Earth?
It can still be used!
Hand me the rifle!
We must ensure Miss Reccoa launches safely, mustn't we?!
Astonaige, let Kamille handle the situation!
Silly boy.
Here they come!
That must be it!
Boy, we're finally here.
Let's see!
They're here!
Isn't she afraid of the enemy firing at her? She's hardly looking around!
She's sensing the enemy hostility?!
Incredible!
Kamille's going out?
Kamille. Don't fall into the Earth's gravity well!
Roger! Kamille, let's do it!
The Mont Blanc?!
Lieutenant Quattro!
- I see flashes from explosions behind us! - Explosions?!
We're under enemy attack!
Where's Quattro's unit?
They're returning.
Destroy them! Why can't we destroy them?!
Okay! How many seconds until we launch the capsule?
Ninety seconds!
There should still be time before the capsule's launch.
The Mont Blanc...!
What was that light?
Who is it? Who's calling out to me?
Mr. Amuro.
We're experiencing a power failure. Would you still like some tea?
I'll have it out here.
Yes, sir!
Reinforcements?
No wonder they were hardly retaliating! Their forces were split up!
How long until the capsule launches?
Captain Henken, what's going to happen?
Kamille!
A Rick Dias?!
Missed it!
Damn it!
Out of my way!
Sixty seconds to capsule launch.
Miss Reccoa.
Dodged it?!
Is he the pilot of the red Rick Dias?
This isn't good!
Unless I get away from here, Miss Reccoa will...!
Kamille?!
He's taking part in an actual battle?!
Captain Henken!
We're making final adjustments to the course.
Commence countdown!
Y-Yes, sir!
I must force the enemy away...
...from the Argama...! - Kamille! That boy...
Blast it!
Okay, Kamille! Well done!
Course set!
Ready to launch capsule!
Not yet?!
Counting down.
Ten...
- Three, two, one, zero. - Three, two, one, zero!
- She's out! - Good!
There you are!
Kamille. Thank you.
I don't want to lose.
Jerid?
Someday...
...I'll defeat him with my own hands.
No matter what!
Is that boy Kamille piloting that Gundam Mk. II?
Then is he a Newtype?
You've gone to Earth, Miss Reccoa...
Later that evening...
...an unusual number of shooting stars were observed across Central America.
It was caused by the sinking of the Mont Blanc.
Lila was determined to only fight under absolutely favorable conditions.
However, the nightmare of the Side 1 Colony 30 Incident draws her to death.
The shot fired by the Gundam Mk. Il makes its way through Lila.
And Kamille hears the requiem for Lila.
Next on Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, "Escape from Side One".
Escape from Side One
You will see the tears of time.
