Despite acquiring the Hovercraft we called the Gallop, our overall battle strength didn't increase much.
Milady Sochie's competitiveness with Miashei Kune ended up overwhelming her...
And she chose to rush out into battle.
The situation became chaotic as we went to rescue her.
Anis' Power
You stupid birds! Cut out that noise!
It's rather strange, isn't it?
The enemy's Mechanical Dolls are completely out of sight.
You don't think the bombs we dropped blew em' up?
Ames, go for it!
Huh? You mean me?
Show them the Luzianna fighting spirit!
Sheesh, he loves to push his own people around.
Even if it wasn't blown to bits, I bet they're not in fighting shape now.
Commander, there's no sign of them anywhere!
A tornado's bursting out of the ground!?
Shoot it, Ames! The mechanical doll's rising up next to you!
Commander Gavane!
Ames!
So this Dianna Counter frog-headed machine was hiding underground...
He deflected me?
It's some sort of monster!
These jerks... Fall back!
Why, hello there!
I take it you like that balloon?
Or maybe you just love anything that's just as lovely?
What lovely feathers. You're a good bird.
I bet even Dianna Soriel would love to have you.
- Was it fixed? - Yeah.
Are you sure our Kapools should be the Borjarnon's only reinforcements?
Well, if you can delay the operation time a bit, we can send out the White Doll as well.
It'll be alright. Sochie has Miashei to look after her.
Mr. Ladderum, you have a lot of faith in your daughter. She must be spoiled.
All of us fathers tend to share that stupidity.
We received a message.
It said that the supply corps will meet with us today, earlier than anticipated.
Our logistics unit is becoming more and more reliable.
Well, Guin's been increasing his factories' output, correct?
There's something that still bothers me.
A problem?
It's that. There's somebody still living in an isolated house on top of that hill.
Alright, that's enough with the sweet potatoes, go and till the wheat.
Right!
How long do we have to stay here, Jacop?
Don't forget that he's watching us...
That guy thinks he's such a big shot...
We never should've tried stealing anything from this place.
That attack on Dianna even cost us our Gozzo units.
Still, what do we do now?
How would I know that?
We'll look for a chance to flee.
That jerk's on to us!
What should we do?
The Mustache!
- What should we do? - What else? Run Away!!
That's right!
We'll hide in the house...
Um, excuse me, please? Could I ask something of you?
Is anybody living here? It's better if there isn't...
Who said nobody lived here?
Excuse me!
Who's this fool who thinks they can force Anis Bell out of her home?
Is that Ms. Anis Bell?
Get yourself out of here!
This stupid mechanical doll...
Get this damn crop destroying mechanical bastard out of here! Get out, shoo! I'll kill you, damn it!
She's scary!
Move it! Out with you! Get outta my sight you ugly ass eggplant machine!
Doesn't matter if these machines walk or fly, I'll still...
Did you get a load of that?
Now you know why you'd better turn tail and run!
l understand your feelings...
But still...
Don't come here!
Are you alright?
Did you hit your head, granny?
I'm very sorry, I didn't expect you to rush over like that.
Hah! You're using your mechanical dolls and destroying my land!
My name is Loran.
You're the only person who has yet to evacuate this area, Aunty.
So what's wrong with that?
This place will become dangerous.
The fighters from the moon will be passing through here. If you don't evacuate soon, you could end up...
You all have bumps in the same place!
This bump...
What are you laughing at?
Ack, you're all stupid cowards.
You'll be in danger if you don't leave.
Aren't you the Moonrace's Laura?
Yeah.
That's not good...
These people from that space race or whatever started causing trouble on my property...
After seeing this, I forced them compensate by making them stay and help man the fields.
Help?
Look and you'll understand.
My ancestors would never forgive me if I fled and abandoned these fields for my own safety.
There's got to be some way to stop them...
About time those ladies from Inglessa showed up.
Is the Mustache coming?
We're part of our military's might as well!
It's a new enemy squadron. We've been defeated by their odd weapons.
You'll assist us in our retreat.
You're running away?
These guys are too powerful for us!
Sir Guin sent us to give you this new secret weapon.
Let's try it out.
What is that stuff?
It looks like powder a farmer uses to help fertilize the soil.
That's it, Sochie!
Get back!
Even the trees are burning? That's hot!
This is an explosive based on something that the Moonrace technicians manufacture.
When ignited, it burns extremely hot.
Who are these people!?
How can those mechanical dolls possibly have an ability like that!?
It doesn't matter if it's the Militia or the Moonrace.
Both sides still want me to move from my land so they can wage their war. Who are they kidding?
I can see what you mean...
...but more mechanical dolls will soon be fighting in this territory.
So you're saying I should just let them push me around?
But the riverside over that hill's already become a battlefield!
I won't leave this place until I've fully tilled this crop.
I'm sorry! In that case, I'll help you as quickly as I can.
Let's get to it!
Is that old woman serious?
No kidding. That old lady there is as stubborn as her donkey.
So the pilot of the Mustache didn't come here to get us after all.
Wasn't that kid was supposed to be a woman?
That's what I thought.
It doesn't look like we'll be having any problems with food and ammunition.
Miss Kihel, has Loran come back yet?
No, he hasn't yet.
Now that I think about it, we should send the Gallop to reinforce them as soon as we've finished resupplying.
We'll need the captain to return by that point.
I'll go get him.
You, lady?
I'll take the car.
Huh!? You know how to drive?
You didn't know that?
Dianna Soriel?
I don't believe it!
Milady Kihel!
Hurry up, Loran!
She's his master?
She looks exactly like her!
Ladderum said that the Gallop needs reinforce them?
Sochie and the rest can probably take care of themselves...
But they still might need some help.
I understand.
But can we wait just a bit?
Hmm... Just a bit?
That's right, I am Loran's master.
That boy is honestly concerned for your well being.
I think he's a little odd in the head, personally.
Alright, this is the herb you said you wanted to to see.
Soriel? This grass is called Soriel?
It's not a piece of grass, it's a herb.
Like one you use in a salad.
The people in Gauria make a herbal soup out of it. It's precious to them.
There is a plant on Earth that carries my name...
And this is the Anise. It's the plant my name was taken from!
It's a beautiful flower.
It can be used to make cakes, and has a wonderful fragrance, just like me!
Living here must be magnificent!
The scent of the land and the water...
Sorrel... Wasn't that also the name of the Queen from the moon?
That's right.
Perhaps that's the reason why a Queen from the moon would come down here...
The moon must also be filled with beautiful palaces and views. Why would she even need to come all the way down here at all?
Do you hate the Moonrace?
Anyone would hate a group that and blindly abuses and ruins their own land, even as they fight to protect it.
So that's it.
1500 years ago, the land was scarred and useless. Nothing could grow here.
But my ancestors purchased a form of black powder from prospectors...
...and with that, they worked very hard to care for and restore this land.
l will never allow anyone to kill it again! Not even the Queen of the moon.
What took you?
I'm sorry, I was delayed a bit.
My eyes aren't very good anymore, I can't read this very well.
Huh, this music?
I thought this box was broken!
I fixed it.
What a meddlesome boy...
Read this to me.
Sure.
It's a letter from my daughter. I figured you can read it.
Doesn't that Lady Kihel seem a lot like Queen Dianna?
I figured they came here to capture us.
Hey, I have a great idea.
I read you. The White Mustache's hovercraft should be somewhere near this area.
- Right, that's exactly it! We'll flee on it... - ...and we can take some wheat with us!
It bit me again!
Now you're in for it, you damn stupid Donkey!
Running around playing again...
Why did this have to happen!?
You shouldn't worry too much...
Everything will be alright.
Is something the matter?
It's my daughter.
She moved into the town to find work and ended up marrying a Baker.
She even decided to open a new shop with him and they had a granddaughter!
Up until recently, they were doing fine. However...
Apparently, her husband was injured and she had to take over the shop for him.
She says that if the problems continue, the family and their servant will be forced to live out in the street.
This is all because of the moon's Army!
It's because of Dianna Soriel's war!
My poor miserable daughter fell into such miserable circumstances out in Nocis...
I have friends who live out there and they're still doing fine.
Your daughter and her family could have gone off and found some other place to live.
The letter doesn't say anything about that.
Aunty, there is one other letter.
The postage is brand new!
"Mother, are you doing well?
I've sent you this letter just after we evacuated the city."
Are you serious?
It's true!
"Our newest servant, Keith Laijie, now works with Bellerine and is a very talented man.
I can now send a remittance once a week!"
You're making that up.
It's all right here.
l can't read or write, but you can?
It says that your granddaughter and Keith are off working together in the Sunbelt.
She's working now!? That poor soul.
No, the two of them are out there learning to make bread together.
So this Keith was unable to run the business on his own?
It says they had to move out to a more populated area in order to sell their bread.
It also says they want their grandmother to come celebrate and see their new business.
You moron. That's my wonderful granddaughter. How can my daughter let some outsider just come in and take over their business?
l won't acknowledge it!
"This servant is extremely dependable. I'm sure you'll like him.
Take care of yourself, mother."
It's good that it wasn't all bad news.
But she should have chosen a better husband!
Was that a missile?
Loran?
Milday Sochie and the others must be in trouble!
Aunty, this place will soon become a battlefield.
They're coming here!?
Muron, do you read me?
Yes!
After we get rid of the Militia...
We'll contact Commander Phil and have him deploy the harvesters.
I wanna get revenge for that flaming attack they used!
Just don't burn their farmland.
Understood!
Wow! That color looks nice on you.
We'll show those official forces from the moon that we of the "Red Team" are just as effective as they are!
We'll have to show them what we can do if we wanna get in Dianna Counter!
I get what you're saying, Captain Cancer.
It changed its shape!
Is it going to attack?
Sochie, we may be better off retreating!
Miashei's been hit!
Sochie, get away!
Miashei, are you okay? Stand up, Miashei!
Sochie, what is it?
Miashei isn't answering!
Lady Sochie, get out of there!
Miashei's been hit!
If you're out there, get your butt over here!
There are so many Militia men around. Sneaking in there won't be easy.
You idiot, they're only here to help resupply.
They'll leave after they've loaded on all the shipments.
But doesn't that mean we should help move their stuff on the ship?
Ahh, I see.
Come on, let's get out of here!
Even if the battle doesn't come here, you're dead if a bomb flies this way.
The best of my memories were made here. I'll gladly die here with them if I have to!
Look Aunty, even your donkey wants to escape!
I won't let those bombs destroy this!
Stay away!
It's stupid to destroy this land!
Aunty!
Where do you think your food comes from?
It grows from the ground thanks to the hard work of many people!
You space bastards!
You could never understand the importance of farmland!
Leave this place at once!
Is this the end?
- Not yet! - What?
You should have chosen a better place to fight!
What the!?
Place retreat at once...
Or I'll use this saber to make quick work of him.
The Mustached Mobile Suit?
How does he know how the FLAT works?
I'm betting the Miltia's best Mobile Suit Ace would love to duel with us.
l don't believe you!
You Mustache piloting Moonrace traitor!
You'll simply kill that FLAT as soon as we back off!
I never betrayed the Moonrace!
You don't need to kick him so hard, Mustached lowlife!
Our ancestors never forgot that they were members of the Moonrace!
Next time, I'll make you pay for getting in our way!
Loran!
You were stepping on my land again.
Sorry about that.
Aunty, let me borrow the some wood and cloth for making a stretcher.
Did she break anything?
I don't know.
Is Sochie still all right?
Miashei's like that because I couldn't do my job. It looks like I'm the incompetent sister here.
Why are you talking about that now!?
She's badly injured.
Sister?
Get that woman over here to help us.
Honestly... If you want to stop the bleeding, put these herbs on her injury.
Okay.
- Give it to her now! - Right!
- Young lady! - Yes?
Use this for a stretcher!
Hold it... you'll need the cloth to support it, right?
Milady Kihel, can you handle that?
I can handle it.
Use this.
Thank you very much.
These Mechanical Dolls...
Thanks.
Thank you very much.
I told you I could handle it!
Sorry about all this. It looks like the Mustache has saved my life once again.
Will the little lady be alright?
Thank you, Gavane!
Miashei is stronger than she looks.
It should be okay for you to return to your battleship now.
The enemy won't show up around here for a little while.
Thank you very much, Mr. Gavane Gooney!
Sure. Goodbye, Laura.
I feel so humiliated about having to leave the battlefront like this.
Don't worry about it.
Feel free to laugh at this stupid father.
Nah, I won't laugh.
Come on, let's go.
It's not just this land.
There are many other places that will need your help.
Take care of yourself.
That's right, Aunty Anis.
I intend to. Now get in!
- Goodbye! - Take care!
Remember to find the bakery with my little companion's name on it!
We call him "Donkey"!
Aunty, my friend is the one who's running that shop.
I'm sure Keith will be a fine grandson in law.
Dianna may be quite humble, but she's still the Moon's queen.
Now she wants to help care for the wounded...
and she ends up performing menial tasks like doing their laundry.
The Militia seems to need all the help they can get. However...
When I saw Dianna having to help with such labor, including surgery,
I asked myself "How can I help her?"
Next time... on TURN-A GUNDAM...
Dianna's Desperate Fight
"We're going to earn a bubble filled wind!"
