Char's actions during the meeting with Haman Karn and the survivors of Zeon...
...led to a disastrous end to their negotiations.
As a result, Haman Karn formed ties with Paptimus Scirocco instead.
The Call of Darkness
We forwarded parts and spare mobile suits to the Argama.
Thank you, Lieutenant Emma.
That should improve the position of the Argama.
But only temporarily.
The top concern is the crew's level of fatigue.
They should give up trying to chase the Gwadan...
...and plan to put the ship into dock.
Make sure you don't work too hard either, Captain.
You don't want to be too tired for a date on your day off.
Excuse me.
Here I go! One, two...!
What's going on?!
- Somebody! - Help!
Shinta! Qum!
Help me!
- Kamille! - Hold on tight.
We were only trying to help.
To help.
I know.
Be extra careful here!
How is the Hyaku Shiki looking?
We've repaired it so it works - barely.
Lieutenant Quattro? You think he's okay?
He's a grown man.
I'm sure he's got nothing to do with the Principality of Zeon.
Sure, I believe that too, but...!
The Zeta can hardly move either.
That's okay, as long as it moves.
Well, you seem to have a much better understanding of actual battle now.
How worthwhile it was to "correct" you!
Thank you.
What is it with that guy?!
He's just a very quarrelsome person!
Over there! What are you slacking for?!
At your rate, we'll never defeat the Gwadan!
Lieutenant!
Are things okay with Ensign Reccoa?
What do you mean?
Fa told me you haven't visited Miss Reccoa since she was hospitalized.
I'll visit when I find the time.
- There he goes again. - What?
Ensign Reccoa has a thing for the lieutenant, yet he's always like that.
There's nothing funny about it!
It's you that I find funny!
Why?!
Isn't it funny that you, of all people, are talking in this way?
Do I seem like that much of a geek to you?
Sure you do!
You really did fall in love on Earth, didn't you?
Shinta! Qum!
I told you not to be here!
We were ordered to help!
- Don't lie to me! - It's true!
Yeah, it's true.
These two are much more welcome than that one.
Why are you so slow?! I thought you were professionals!
Isn't it a good thing to be energetic?
By the way...
...I have a favor to ask you. - S-Sure.
Who is it?
- It's me. - Come in.
Miss Reccoa.
Should you be moving about like that?
I'm okay aside from some pain in my right arm.
But aren't you too busy to visit me right now?
Kamille asked me to come and see how you're doing.
Kamille did?
Oh.
Thank you, Fa, for taking the time to come and see me.
N-No problem.
Fa...?
You're safe.
I was so sure the doctor spotted me from down the hallway.
You enjoy this sort of thing, don't you, Miss Reccoa?
Did Kamille say so?
I always get myself into dangerous situations.
It's now become a habit.
At one point, I used to live on the Moon.
But I got separated from my parents during the previous war.
After that...
...I got involved in guerilla activities, and before I knew it, many friends died.
I entered the Federation Forces when the war ended.
But something was different.
And before long, I ended up with the A. E. U.G.
It wasn't through ideology or belief.
I don't get the sense that I'm alive unless I live on the edge.
That's become part of my personality.
Also because the right man never came along.
The right man?
Yes, the right man.
From the beginning, this world has had only two sexes.
Man and woman.
In that case, there must be a meaning for it, don't you think?
You're right.
That makes sense.
You mustn't become a woman like me, Fa.
Sure.
A-Although I'm not quite sure what you mean.
You'll soon understand.
I guess so. Bye.
This room isn't waiting for anyone to be back here.
The Gwadan's quietly following us.
What do you have in mind, Scirocco?
It hasn't been this quiet for a long time.
It's only quiet because the Argama's not coming after us!
Let's hope nothing will happen.
Stop stalling!
Don't you want to destroy the Argama?!
Of course I do!
However, our priority at the moment is to have the people on that ship...
...form an alliance with the Titans.
Then don't we need to get rid of any obstacles in our way?!
That would also make sense.
All right, do as you wish.
Scirocco.
You are necessary to me.
With your help...
...I can bring the Titans and Axis together.
I see.
So, can I assume that I'll be rewarded for my actions?
Of course, Yazan.
I like your personality.
Understood.
Wait, Sarah!
There's no place for you in Yazan's warfare.
Just observe, understanding his tactics is yet another way to battle.
You understand, right?
Why isn't the captain on the bridge now...
...while we're pursuing the enemy?!
He's here.
Mr. Wong?
Where the hell were you?!
I was helping with the repairs to the hull.
That's not a job for the captain!
In any case, I find this ship to lack order and discipline!
Mr. Wong.
Don't you think that's one of the main reasons...
...the Argama's been able to survive battles to this point?
Then why did we fail in our negoiation with Axis?!
I was against it in the first place.
When are we going to catch up with the enemy?
We're docking at La Vie En Rose first.
You're going to waste precious time while docked.
The Radish's backup only allows us to do temporary repairs.
Should the enemy attack us with a large force, we don't stand a chance!
In war, it's very rare to be able to fight in top condition!
As Lieutenant Quattro was saying...
...I thought the Argama could make even "the impossible" possible!
Not in this state!
Captain! Enemy mobile suit team detected!
What?!
- How many?! - Six, as far as I can confirm.
Six...!
- Send out our mobile suits! - Roger!
What is it?
I thought I just heard something.
Kamille.
Is the Zeta Gundam ready to go?!
I'll take the launcher with me.
What are you doing, Ensign Reccoa?!
Ensign Reccoa! You're in no condition to go!
You'd better return to your room.
I am a pilot on the Argama!
Reccoa.
What's gotten into you, Reccoa Londe?!
Have you...
...have you done anything to convince me not to go?!
Ensign.
What do you...
...want me to do?
We've brought out all of them, have we?
We're done!
Okay, I want just two of you to stay here.
Keep them moving so the enemy doesn't catch on.
Zeta Gundam, taking off!
Mk. II, taking off!
The pain just won't go away.
Methuss, taking off!
How beautiful.
The Methuss?!
Is Ensign Reccoa out here?
Ensign Reccoa, you're out too far!
- Move back! - Kamille?
Are you the one who's been calling me?
No.
Miss Reccoa! Move away!
Okay, spread out!
Be careful!
Roger!
It's the Zeta.
Watch out for the launcher!
Let go!
I can hear it.
A very powerful will.
Got you!
Reccoa!
Ramsus! Don't bother! Let it go!
Roger!
Reccoa!
Charging with the Methuss alone?!
It escaped?!
Enemy mobile suits aren't able to get any closer!
Way to go!
Tell Lieutenant Quattro and Kamille to scout the rear of the enemies!
I thought it was peculiar as well.
Are they waiting for us to lower our guard before they attack?
We'd better check it out!
Ensign Reccoa!
Miss Reccoa!
Why am I... all the way out here?
You're out too far!
What's the matter?!
Sorry!
It's not like you, Ensign Reccoa!
Lieutenant Quattro.
I'm going!
Kamille! Thank you for that.
Miss Reccoa.
What is wrong with her?
They're here!
What?!
Why those are...!
Marasais. There's at least ten!
Kamille, contact the Radish!
I'll contact the Argama!
That's right! There's a Marasai squadron ahead of us!
Lt. Emma, head over there right away!
What do you plan to do?!
Prepare to fire the Mega Particle Cannon!
Ensign Reccoa!
Answer me, Ensign!
What's wrong? Isn't she answering?
Ensign Reccoa! Can't you hear me?!
Mr. Wong!
We're in a battle!
Stop walking around, and remain in your seat!
What did you say?!
I am the captain of this ship!
If you cannot abide by my orders, I'll have you leave the ship!
Ensign Reccoa!
Ensign, fall back and protect the Argama from the other mobile suits!
Roger!
I missed my chance again.
They're playing right into our hands!
Leader!
Let's go!
Two enemy mobile suits have crossed the defensive line!
We'll retreat in a zigzag course as we return fire!
Don't let them attack the Argama!
Hurry!
We've got to crush the Argama before they discover our ruse and return!
You're in my way! I'll start with you!
You're in my way! Go away!
That's my enemy?
Kamille, let's do it!
Roger!
What was that?
Let's go!
They're not real! They're dummies!
Bridge, come in!
It's from Lieutenant Emma!
She says the Marasais are all fake.
What?!
Enemy mobile suits approaching the Argama!
We've been tricked!
Call back the mobile suits!
Why can't I fire?!
Die!
I can't move. Why?!
Wh-What is this?
Why won't it move? Is it a dummy?
I won't be tricked by an illusion!
Is it the power of this person...
...that was calling me?
Wh-What is it with this guy?!
I'm going to die. Yet, I'm not one bit scared.
Right. That's why I wanted to die.
But if someone's out there calling for me, then...
Who is it?!
You? Is it you?!
Why'd it come? What?!
Tell me! Was it you that called me?!
Leader!
They've found out that they're balloons!
The Argama's mobile suit team is heading back there!
I hear you! Roger!
We're pulling back, Ramsus!
Is it this man? This...?
She seems like a decent woman.
Why?
Kamille.
What's wrong?
Ensign Reccoa...
Miss Reccoa...!
Fa!
Miss Reccoa's dead!
Wh-What are you saying?
Stop joking.
How could I joke about something like this?!
That can't be.
The Methuss exploded.
If I hadn't helped her sneak out of the infirmary...!
It's not your fault, Fa.
Don't blame yourself!
Miss Reccoa...
...went out on her own will.
Kamille.
Do you realize the unstable condition the crew is in at the moment?
But the Argama has coped with harder situations, hasn't it?
I'm not talking only from a material point of view...
...but about their mental state as well!
I'm also well aware of that!
Many are very disturbed right now, having one of our regular pilots killed in action.
Then, at least our outfit needs to be fully equipped.
I also ask the same, Mr. Wong Lee.
Never mind me and do as you wish!
Do you believe that is the correct way to do things?!
Of course.
When it comes to battles, you guys are the pros.
We should reach the dock ship, the La Vie En Rose shortly.
Get in touch with them.
I looked for you, Lieutenant Quattro.
If you had been just a little more kind to Miss Reccoa...
...this wouldn't have happened!
Do you realize that?!
Right now, Miss Reccoa is likely floating in the dark of space...!
The cactus flowers have blossomed.
In their battle against Yazan, the Argama and the Radish...
...were dealt a severe blow.
However, at the La Vie En Rose, where they are docked for repairs...
...they are about to be given a new order.
After eluding an attack by the Yazan team...
...the Hyaku Shiki descends to Kilimanjaro with the Zeta Gundam.
Upon sneaking into the Titans' base, Char and Kamille see Jamitov...
...and Four.
Next on Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, "Storm Over Kilimanjaro".
You will see the tears of time.
Storm Over Kilimanjaro
