Entering the Atmosphere
Are you telling me to turn this ship, the Hario, toward Earth's orbit?!
If you want me to defeat the A. E. U. G., you should.
If you have no intention of doing so, I'm returning to the mother ship Jupitris.
We have no definite information that the A. E. U. G. gathering at Side 4...
...will be headed for Earth.
Well, what good are we if we just stay here?
I'll get in touch with Captain Bask!
I ask that you stay in this ship for now.
Very well.
Seems I've forgotten how to get by in the secular world.
I'll oversee the reloading of the Messala as I wait.
I'd appreciate that.
- Only for two hours, though. - Y-Yes!
Why did the Captain select some guy like that, just returning from Jupiter?
Check C-armor parts!
Checking C-armor parts... no problems.
Okay, Kamille!
Lunch is here!
Kamille, go grab your lunch.
Huh? But we're still...!
Hurry!
Enjoy your lunch.
What are you doing that for?
I have no time to be fooling around.
Everyone's so busy around here, so I should help in any way that I can.
- Is that wrong? - If it's an order, it can't be helped.
Mr. Astonaige! There aren't enough.
Amuro! You're not well!
It's Kamille!
Captain Bright.
The timing on take-off is a lot different from that of the White Base.
Yes, I can tell.
Hi, Kamille. Where's Lieutenant Quattro?
Sir! He's by the Hyaku Shiki!
Lieutenant Quattro!
Let me introduce you to our newly appointed captain! Come over here!
As of today, he's to be addressed as Captain Bright.
Well, that's great news.
- I expect I'll be counting on you. - My pleasure.
I'm thrilled to be able to see your skills first hand.
But my senses aren't quite as keen as they were.
If anyone, you'll do just fine, Captain Bright.
I'm also counting on you, Kamille Bidan!
Bright!
How are you?
Haro? How come?
I found it on Amman.
It could be the Haro from back then.
No.
Even the toy versions were programmed with...
...the names of Amuro and Bright.
Now, Captain Bright!
- Bye. - No, Kamille.
You are to have this special meal package for the pilots!
Never mind. Just give me what everyone else is having!
It's part of the military rules! You must abide by them!
All right, then! Bye.
Hey, do you know the situation with Captain Bright?
Huh?
I hear his wife and children live on Earth.
What's he going to do now that he's joined the A. E. U. G?
I don't know!
The Earth Federation Government may take his family hostage!
- We don't know that! - What are you all upset about?!
Stop showing off!
Bright, where are you?!
Amuro, where are you?
Haro, stop it!
Can this ship encounter the A. E. U. G.'s fleet before they enter the atmosphere?
Sure it can. We could block them on their way in.
I'm glad to return to Earth, but are you confident we can pull this off?
We've both trained extensively on the simulation.
And the Marasai's been performing well as of late.
Yes, we may even be able to pay them back for what happened on the Moon.
- To the Gundam Mk. II, right? - Right!
I never dreamed I'd be able to return to Earth so soon.
I'll go help with the adjustments on the ballutes.
Got a lover waiting or something?
Anything wrong with that?
Okay.
Lieutenant Emma's good eyesight helps.
I'm beginning to get a feel for things.
- You catch on quickly. - Thank you.
I hear your family's in Jaburo. Are you okay with this?
I'm not worried.
She's practically a Newtype herself.
Please tell me more about your wife.
Her name is Mirai Yashima.
She was the White Base's steersperson during the One Year War.
Is that so?!
- Then he's got nothing to worry about. - I'm convinced.
And I've talked to her about taking a position with the A. E. U. G.
It's all yours from this point on. I'm returning to the Moon on that transport ship.
Yes, sir!
- You don't have to see me off. - Yes, sir!
- How many children? - Two.
A boy and a girl?
How did you know?
A lucky guess.
You're late.
I'm sorry. What is it, sir?
Well, it's disappointing to have to part with such a skilled subordinate like yourself...
...but... - Yes?
I need you to lead the unit that will storm into Jaburo.
Good luck...!
- Ah! - What are you doing in a place like this?!
I got lost.
This is a very busy time. Goodbye!
You mustn't come into places like this!
Yes, ma'am.
Did you have a fight with Kamille or something?
No.
Hey!
Kamille's been under a lot of stress so he's acting like a spoiled brat...
...at the sight of a familiar face. That's why...!
I understand the feelings of a pilot!
Please leave me alone!
Don't send out our mobile suits?
That's what I said. Didn't you hear me the first time?!
But why?!
If my Messala can do the job on its own...
...we have no reason to use these outdated models!
Bastard!
I understand these would be different from mobile suits you use around Jupiter, but...!
The Messala is a trial model I helped manufacture while on Jupitris.
The only reason I pursued the Temptation with it was to see how it would perform.
It's a trial model?
Just watch and see.
All vessels! Proceed with caution for obstacles in our path!
- All sensors cleared automatic check! - Course clear!
Proceed in Earth's direction!
I'm using the ballute, Kacricon!
- Can you hear me?! - Yeah, I'm watching. Go ahead!
Here I go! Three, two, one...!
Okay, the size is just right!
This'll allow us to enter the atmosphere with no problems.
Hurry up and attach the ballute capsules to the units!
The rest is a matter of guts.
Okay, Kamille! Looks good!
- Was the timing okay?! - Everything's fine!
Can this hover really support the Gundam's weight?
According to calculations, yes.
What do you mean?
If you stick your hand outside of the flying armor during entry into the atmosphere...
...even the Gundam will easily lose a hand.
- I'm aware of that. - Okay!
- Get some rest until we begin operations! - Bye!
I understand you clearly. I wish you the best of luck.
Now, get some rest until we commence operations.
Later.
- Lieutenant Quattro. - Yes?
I have a request.
About your family?
If by chance they're still in Jaburo...!
I'll see what I can do about rescuing them.
Where in Jaburo is your family situated?
Shall I draw you a map?
That'll help.
I hear that your parents died.
You don't have to try to look surprised, you know!
Kamille!
I knew nothing about it.
I honestly feel bad about it, that even your parents are suspected because of me...
...and you had to flee as a result!
However!
It can't be helped! I can't do anything about it!
I'm not doing what I am because I want to, you know!
But...!
But I-I don't know what I should do either.
Sure, I'd like to comfort you, but...!
I'm also still a child!
Take it easy on me!
Well, so am I! So just leave me alone, will you?!
Damn you!
Let's do it!
Secure orbit! Secure fleet position!
Mobile suit launch holders of all vessels, secured!
Ready for take off! Be extra cautious for enemies from all surrounding areas!
Roger!
Lieutenant Quattro, good luck!
- Roger, Captain! - Thanks.
I'm going!
Gundam Mk. II, ready for take-off!
Rick Dias, ready for take-off!
Kamille, you're leaving, are you?
Gundam, launching!
Attacking Jaburo, are you?
That's understandable, but I won't allow it!
Okay.
The Sicilia's been destroyed!
What?! Where were you watching?!
Mobile suit on portside! No, it's a mobile armor!
- What kind? - What kind?!
Umm... Checking data.
Type, unknown!
The formation is off.
Jibyan and Sul behind us...!
They've been hit?! By the Titans?!
Miss Emma! Are you breaking the formation?!
Emma's unit moved away?! Tell her to stop!
Have Kamille go instead, Lieutenant Quattro!
Roger!
Emma's unit is key to the formation.
The flying armor has greater mobility!
It's crucial that we have Emma's unit descend to Jaburo!
Right!
The Hyaku Shiki must remain until the formation is complete.
- Go! - Yes, sir!
Fall, little pest!
Lieutenant Emma! You're to lead the mobile suit troops in front!
Don't stop sending out mobile suits from the respective vessels!
Lieutenant Emma!
Make them hurry with their entrance into the atmosphere!
Machine gun platform! Put up a barrage without hitting our own units!
You guys are taking forever!
I never knew the Titans had developed such a mobile armor.
The purpose of that organization isn't just to track down remnants of the Zabi Clan.
Two units at once?!
Miss Emma! Watch out!
That's the guy from the other day!
There's no way she's hearing me!
Lieutenant! I'm telling you he's dangerous!
Who's that?
Is that the one from...?
I've arranged to have Apolly and Roberto's Rick Dias units lead the formation.
I'm heading over to assist Emma's unit!
Roger!
- Destroy that unidentified mobile armor! - Roger!
However, I imagine this opponent isn't just any old enemy.
It transformed!
Fall!
I told you!
Kamille! Keep your distance!
Is that the one called the Gundam Mk. II?
You're only a minor change!
He avoided it! With that?!
Lieutenant Emma! Forget about Kamille!
Retreat!
But...!
Head back to the Argama!
It's undoubtedly different!
He's not Amuro!
He's a different type!
No mistake about it! Starboard! Forty degrees above!
It's an enemy mobile suit troop!
- You're sure, are you?! - What'll we do, sir?!
If they're coming from the front, our troops should notice!
If we can get two-thirds of our force to Jaburo, we can take over the place!
Try to get past this!
Main artillery, can't you see?! Get the barrage up!
Mobile suit units! Descend below the horizontal line of the fleet!
Four minutes to atmospheric entry, sir!
Ignore the enemy! Have everyone focus on the mobile suit formation!
- Is the Gundam Mk. Il out there? - Take it easy! Think about where we are!
You'll find yourself pulled by the gravity!
That's exactly why this is such a great chance!
You have a point.
This pressure! What is it?!
It's leaving!
That mobile suit transformed.
I'm not about to be pulled in by Earth's gravity.
I'll leave the rest to the reinforcements.
We're going to the front of the fleet!
The Titans have begun with their second wave of attacks!
Yes!
Who is that guy?
Hey, you! It's dangerous out there!
Lieutenant Emma, please retreat!
There's no way I can do that!
I must descend to Jaburo!
Is Kamille okay?
What are you doing here?! Return to your room!
Right now, that wouldn't be safe.
Have her sit over there.
- One minute to atmospheric entry. - Emma's unit has lost an arm, sir.
What?!
Stop her from entering the atmosphere!
Lt. Emma, return at once! You can't enter the atmosphere in your condition!
I'm okay.
I'll have no problem entering the atmosphere!
These are captain's orders! Lieutenant Emma! Retreat!
I see it!
Here they come!
We're entering the atmosphere! Emma! Cut the crap!
It's time! We're entering the atmosphere!
We're retrieving Emma's unit! Argama, descend!
Lieutenant Quattro.
Abide by Captain Bright's orders!
Lieutenant Quattro!
Begin atmospheric entry!
The barrage isn't enough! Our mobile suits will be shot down!
This time...! This time for sure!
Doesn't that new model realize that we're losing altitude?!
lt'll burn up in flames!
Lieutenant! I wish for your safety!
- Protect the Argama for us! - Yes!
Reduce altitude!
But it would be unsafe to reduce altitude any further!
Reduce it!
There goes my chance.
Contact made with Emma's unit!
Increase altitude. The fleet's getting out of here.
Anti-air fire to rear!
Commence our barrage!
Thank you very much!
But I could've made it down to Earth!
What did you say?!
Come to the bridge later! I'll give you a "correction"!
A mobile suit battle down on Earth isn't a walk in the park...
...as you might think, Lieutenant!
Kamille!
- What's the status with those behind us? - They're following us, sir!
And the enemy?!
They appear to be descending to Earth with our troops, sir!
How long do you expect to last without your ballute?!
Against your Wave Rider, I'm at a disadvantage with my ballute!
How reckless!
Kacricon, you're not going to last much longer!
But I'm finished if I open my ballute now!
Guess we'll have to give it up!
Jerid, you coward! We won't defeat the enemy with that attitude!
You're not going to last! You'll burn to death!
It's automatic!
B-But at this rate, he'll get me!
You would've survived if you'd kept your distance!
Amelia!
Kacricon!!
If I had gone ahead...!
I'll get them for this. I promise, Kacricon.
Having successfully advanced to Jaburo...
...Kamille and Char are able to rescue Kai and Reccoa.
However, there they find themselves in a trap set by the Titans.
Kamille trembles when he finds out...
...about a tremendous ticking nuclear bomb set to explode.
Can the A. E. U. G. escape Jaburo?
Next on Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, "The Winds of Jaburo".
The Winds of Jaburo
You will see the tears of time.
