What was waiting for Kamille in outer space were Gabthleys...
...a new mobile suit model.
The Gundam Mk. II was nearly defeated by the pilots Jerid and Mouar.
Right at that moment, Fa Yuiry arrived with the A. E. U. G.'s new mobile suit.
The Eyes of Scirocco
I'm prepared to be reproached for my impertinence.
I lost one of our new mobile suits, which is inexcusable.
That's not why I called you here.
On the contrary, I wanted to tell you not to feel down about what happened.
Are you sympathizing?
You misunderstand.
In fact, you could say I envy you.
It's true that you likely would've won the battle...
...if it weren't for that new mobile armor, Lieutenant.
You're very lucky.
The question is, do you believe in your good luck?
So, you're saying I lack resolve?
That's right.
Keep that in mind.
I'm going to have you lead a battle squadron.
I'll introduce you to your pilots.
You've seen them around.
Scirocco's bringing Jerid under his wing.
Will Jerid see this as a chance to grow independent?
Kamille! Well? Like it?!
Yeah, I guess.
Couldn't you sound a little more excited?
The Zeta Gundam's more or less been built for you, you know!
I know that.
Lieutenant Quattro rushed it over here...
...because he wanted to show it to you right away!
Lieutenant Quattro did?
Kamille!
Haro!
Kamille! Hello!
Wait, Fa!
But it's Haro you called for, right?
Come on.
You wanted to see me, didn't you?
I came to see the mobile suits.
I wanted to know which one I'm going to pilot.
Is it true you're a candidate to be a pilot?
We find ourselves in a grave situation with the presence of the Titans all around.
We won't get anywhere if we depend on you all the time, Kamille.
I was hoping that you'd remain in a world that had nothing to do with wars.
Your opinions are out of touch with the times.
What if every one of us is fighting a war?
What happens if we all end up dead?
That's something the victors can figure out later!
That's absurd.
In order to win the war, the A. E. U. G. will send over the Mk. II's Defenser...
...and also a new model mobile suit.
Another new mobile suit, so soon?
The A. E. U. G.'s build-up on the Moon has been progressing.
Why don't you face harsh reality for a change?!
All right, then!
Captain Henken.
I shall be on my way.
Which are you happier about?
Being able to pilot the Methuss, or returning to the Argama?
Easy, I'm happy about both!
- Ensign Reccoa! - Yes, sir!
I'd like you to hand this to Lieutenant Emma!
Take it!
Yes, sir!
Tell them that I'll be heading for the Argama on the Radish!
Roger!
These are the estimated courses from Gryps.
The possible courses taken by the Titans' fleet that left Gryps?
Yes, sir!
Given the timing, their plan must be to head for the Moon.
Tell the observation team to watch enemy movements closely!
Yes, sir!
Haro, what's wrong?
Kamille and Fa! Fighting!
My! So soon after they meet?
Haro!
Kamille! Fa! Cut it out!
I've already stopped!
He's always nagging me. Totally unmanly!
Quarrels between pilots will affect their abilities in battle!
Continue this, and I'll lock you up!
Yes, sir!
I'll learn to be more careful!
Just say it won't happen again.
Let them be.
To them, that's just a form of recreation. Recreation!
Wait!
Let go of me!
You see...!
What is it?!
S-Sorry.
You have nothing to say, right?! Then go away!
Fa!
There's something odd about you!
Even right now.
Kamille, your body may have returned to the Argama...
...but your heart isn't here with you.
Would you have a word with Kamille, Lieutenant?
Maybe somebody else should talk to him.
Why? Can't we just write this off as his recreation?
No, we can't.
Right now, Kamille has the eyes of a wanderer.
I'd just make things worse.
Why's that?
Kamille is instinctively attracted to me.
Y-You think so?
I'm not saying this out of self-conceit.
Simply put, I don't want to promote any mother complex Kamille has.
Really?
I cannot be a substitute mother for Kamille.
That's a problem.
There's no choice but to leave Kamille alone, and wait for him to awaken.
Phew!
He's as big as a grown adult.
Yet such a problematic kid.
In the Forces, it's the father figure's job to raise the soldiers, right?
I got you.
Damn...!
I didn't expect that I'd be ordered to baby-sit little children like you.
For your information, Lieutenant, I've had sufficient training.
I'm very disappointed to hear such a comment from you!
You two are Newtype candidates selected by Scirocco.
But look at your hands.
Probably never hurt a soul in your life.
Are you really prepared to kill?
I will never kill!
Then what are you a mobile suit pilot for?!
War is an evil but necessary step on the path to a better world.
We're only fighting for that reason.
Even when engaged in battle, I will not kill an enemy that I do not have to.
But then the enemy will kill you!
I am not prepared to die yet.
Then why did you become a pilot?!
I thought private matters are not questioned in the Forces!
Forget it, then!
Let's see what you can do! Take your positions!
Jerid!
Mouar!
You seem to be having fun at your end.
Don't let something like this irritate you!
Also watch out for the enemy, Lt. Jerid.
Roger.
So, he'll be looking after those two.
He's not what I imagined from what Jamaican told me.
Taking off.
Show me your so-called "qualities"!
Looks like he's serious.
Listen!
Our enemy is the Argama and the Argama alone!
We have no other!
I hate to correct you, but our enemy is all of the A. E. U. G.!
I'm telling you that the A. E. U. G. hinges on the Argama plus the Gundam Mk. II...
...and the new model mobile suit.
Keep quiet when you don't know what you're doing!
How can he be so sure of that?
I remember hearing about a pilot with battle experience, Lila, I think...
...who lost to the will-power of the Argama.
Chief Petty Officer Sarah, let's go!
Is it the Argama?
It's fast.
Wh-What?!
Wh-What's that?!
I don't believe that's one of the Titans'.
Is it a new A. E. U. G. mobile armor?
There are no other machines nearby.
Siddeley, try making contact with it!
That'll determine whether it's an enemy or ally.
Right.
That's... a Marasai?
Titans!
A hell of a place to be found by them!
Which means the Argama shouldn't be too far away.
I'm going to contact the Dogosse Gier!
No, we don't have time for that!
We'll continue on and lure the Argama out!
But we don't know where the Argama is.
- Just do as I say! - Roger!
Siddeley! You're being careless!
Chief Petty Officer Sarah, what's the big idea interfering with my orders?!
Lieutenant Jerid's being hasty.
Roger!
That's the right answer.
Are you okay with this?
I believe I can trust the Lieutenant and his straightforwardness!
However...!
The Defenser's been found by the enemy?!
Beam flashes confirmed from two o'clock.
- Back them up! - Y-Yes, sir!
All units, take battle positions! Locate the enemies!
You're fast.
Ensign Reccoa's coming, right?
Ensign Reccoa is?
Yes, she should be coming.
Kamille, sorry about what I said earlier.
Roger!
What was that?
I said it so he wouldn't be bothered by it in battle!
- I'm taking the Zeta Gundam out! - Roger.
Kamille, let's do it!
Is it ready?!
Go ahead! The lever's been adjusted for you, Lieutenant!
Thank you!
The Mk. II's going!
Where's my mobile suit?!
We're not bringing out the Nemos yet! It's too far away!
What about this Rick Dias?!
Lieutenant Batch will be using that!
I see.
Emma! Gundam Mk. II! Taking off!
What's going on?! Fa's taking off?!
- Is she experienced?! - She's on "Actual Battle Version 1 B".
Where's Apolly?!
Apolly's Rick Dias has just mounted the catapult!
Apolly!
Fa's taking off in a Rick Dias! Look after her!
Why should I?
- Just go! - Roger!
Damn! Do I need to have high hopes for Newtypes?
Is that why Fa was assigned here?
Fa Yuiry! Rick Dias! Taking off!
Jerid's unit has come across the enemy?
It appears that way.
This once again shows how very lucky Jerid is.
Other crafts are approaching at a great speed!
That must be the Argama unit.
- I'm going, too. - Wait!
Care to join me and watch...
...to see how well Lieutenant Jerid can handle the situation?
That might not be bad thing.
If you want to see those young pilots you recommended crush the Argama, that is.
However...!
I never gave Jerid's unit permission to fight!
Therefore, seeing that he's started it...
...he must have the confidence to win this battle alone, right?
That's why Jerid jumped into this battle without contacting me.
So, I won't send out any help.
Two units.
Match your timing!
Hide yourself behind your partner!
But that mobile suit is very quick!
Two units can't look like one in space!
Try it before drawing conclusions!
I'm not letting it get away!
Ensign, I'll attract the enemy's attention! Please get the Methuss back to the Argama!
I can't allow that!
I-I got it!
Reinforcements?!
An ally?
Is it the Gundam Mk. II?!
The new model. Where's it coming from?
Siddeley, Sarah! After the two units that got away!
Roger!
Just because you have one or two extra units helping out...!
Reinforcements?!
Three of them!
Is it because we failed to hide each other like Lieutenant Jerid ordered us to?!
You!
You must act on Apolly's orders!
I know that.
Fa!
Ensign Reccoa?
Lieutenant Emma?!
- Any damage? - I'm all right!
Gotcha!
Kamille?!
Damn!
I'm out of bullets!
If you didn't come out, you wouldn't have to die!
- Just leave things to me! - I was backing you up!
Fa, what are you doing here?!
Kamille, we're in the midst of a battle!
Watch out!
However!
Jerid?
No, I believe Siddeley's been defeated.
Jerid.
Unless you destroy two of them, it won't balance out.
But he's awfully outnumbered.
He's returning with his tail between his legs.
I'm going to get killed.
The minds of the enemies are becoming one...
...and coming at me!
Sarah, don't retreat without my orders!
Kamille! He's saved by the strengths of that new model.
Laugh at me if you wish.
I've lost Siddeley.
Being able to escape is a victory in itself.
Are you mocking me since I've already lost one of my people?
Not at all!
Yes, what Mouar says is correct.
You did fine.
Thanks to you, we had a chance to observe the enemy's mobile suit.
If we look at it as a plan to gather information, it was a success.
I'm very sorry.
I lost an important pilot.
Aren't you going to ask me why I didn't send out reinforcements?
Our immediate objective lies with Operation Apollo.
We haven't got the time to be dealing with the Argama.
Do you really believe that's the reason?
Yes, sir.
Okay. Get some rest.
- Sarah, stay here. - Yes?
I understand you retreated before your squadron leader.
I could see the minds of many enemies.
I've never faced such a situation.
Hmm.
Therefore... I was scared.
Will you get used to it?
If those are your orders, I will get used to it.
I'll try.
Okay. That's all I wanted to hear.
Sarah, you can do it.
I look forward to it.
Yes, sir.
The G. Defenser has arrived safely. Good work.
I got the Methuss damaged right from the start.
Make your apologies to the mechanics.
We have some parts, and we should be okay once we meet up with the Radish.
Right.
I can't allow someone like you...
...to get emotional and disrupt our battle strategy!
I'm very sorry!
But I couldn't stay back and not fight!
You haven't even had sufficient training!
I had gone as far as the "Actual Battle Version"!
Training and actual battle are worlds apart!
- In addition... - It's my fault.
I'm the one who made Fa so frustrated.
Lieutenant, I'm also to blame for Fa's actions.
Apolly, I apologize.
- S-Sure. - Captain Bright!
I gave her permission to sortie.
However, Fa, what you did this time was not good. Just understand that.
I understand!
But humans are animals that act on emotion.
At war, you can't sink a battleship with your temporary emotions alone!
Y-Yes.
You're... right.
Long time no see.
I'm pleased to see that you're well.
It's good to be young, isn't it?
Do you think so?
I don't quite understand.
You're going to miss being scolded like that.
Okay, Fa.
- Get some rest! - Yes, sir! I'll be excused!
See ya.
Go and comfort Fa.
I know.
Ensign.
This is from Commander Henken.
Thank you.
But... I'm at a loss...!
What shall I do with this?
Don't ask me. It's not a present to me.
Well, I've handed it to you, haven't I, Emma?
Reccoa...!
The fleet led by Scirocco attacks Von Braun City.
The Dogosse Gier evades the Argama's defensive line...
...and makes a forced landing.
The Argama is silenced by Scirocco's unexpected, headstrong tactic.
Next on Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, "Moon Attack!"
Moon Attack!
You will see the tears of time.
