The people of the Red team, under the guise of the "Mustache's Laura"...
...attacked Luzianna's field hospital and several other villages.
This shows that Dianna Counter is no longer completely under Lady Kihel's control.
Because of this, the burden that weighs on Queen Dianna's heart has become unbearable.
And in response, she's decided to return to the Moon.
Willgem Takes Off
The first test flight will be in the next few days?
Correct. Once all of the necessary mechanical systems have been repaired, move ahead with the test.
Please wait a minute...
Say, Mr. Ladderum, don't you think Dianna Counter has been quiet for a little bit too long?
The issue here is strategy, like when playing a game of chess. We'd gain an advantage by from effective timing.
Chief Horace is not going to be pleased...
Honestly, what sort of nonsense does Guin expect from us?
It's so cold...!
Well, as our situation alters, it becomes necessary.
Lord Guin's been coming to check on our progress more frequently lately.
Why is it so cold out here this morning?
It's a periodic climate change. We tend to get a very rough cold cycle once every 18 years.
If I'm correct, I believe that we should be getting our first seasonal blizzard any day now.
Blizzard? Is that some sort of weapon?
Huh? Well, no it's...
The White Doll's leaving?
Even the White Doll requires consents maintenance...
What's Loran doing?
Lady Kihel has disappeared?
She's been gone since last night.
So then, he went off to find her?
Honestly...
With all of the time that Lady Kihel and Loran have been spending...
Miss Sochie.
I would like for you to accept this.
Please open it up for me.
Open it?
Go right ahead.
This is a...
Go ahead and take a closer look.
If it's not to your tastes...
Like this?
Amazing!
Gavane?
So, do you like it?
The Commander was saying things like... "Oh, Sochie deserves only the very best wedding dress!"
He contacted every seamstress in Luzianna!
Get out and eat your lunch! Scat!
Gavane Gooney...
I think it's beautiful.
Feel free to try it on later.
If there's anything that you don't like about it, I'll have it changed immediately.
Sochie, is this really okay?
Gavane's been extremely kind.
Queen Dianna... where did you go off too?
Was she really serious about trying to return to the moon?
From day to day, the battlefront has only continued to expand on both sides.
It's all so pretty!
Our great Queen!
Perhaps my intentions for us to emigrate here from the moon were a mistake...
Oh Queen of the Moon...
When I saw you walking out in the field by yourself...
I thought that perhaps you were a goddess who came to bring me salvation.
Thank you, I appreciate that kind thought.
Is Corin Nander also a victim of this war?
Was I myself the goddess who has been spreading this unease and conflict?
Oh no, another village was set on fire?
It's burning! The village!
This is where their food is stored!
I don't think we can take their wine.
We could use the beans and dried food!
It looks like we'll have a full haul of corn today!
Gather only the food we'll need for the winter season!
It won't be a problem if we take anything from the places that burned down!
- Why must we run away? - Get out of here!
Oh, is that fire?
Get everything loaded up before the fire spreads!
These are my forces...
This means that I'm also responsible for causing this incident...
What's the matter? Are you feeling ill? Should I bring you something to eat?
Start up the car and please take me to the Soleil.
The Soleil?
You can see a fire some other time, Corin Nander.
Corin Nander?
That's right, Corin.
Alright then, let's go!
- A Camera? - Be more considerate!
Honey!
Don't leave me here!
This isn't a battle. How could they attack unarmed civilians?
Somebody, help me!
This picture will be sent to Full Moon Topic!
Based on your machine's ID number, they'll be able to identify its pilot!
Marina, what's the matter? The fire's moving in this direction!
Can you handle it from here?
- Of course I can. - I'll leave it to you.
Hold it!
Watch what you're doing!
Forgive me, I'm taking pictures for the newspaper.
Don't you realize that your story will never even be published now?
Won't be published? What do you mean by that?
The newspapers are all currently owned by Luzianna's Borjarno family.
News like this isn't ever published anymore!
The newspapers don't publish it?
Only a little while ago, all the news was about the prospects of peace negotiations, repeating that we'll all someday live together hand in hand.
What am I doing here...
lt's snow.
lt's snowing!
So it is.
Is this what snow is?
That's right, This is snow. Didn't you know that?
No, I didn't know.
l don't seem to know anything anymore.
I don't know much about these things...and about the lives of the people here.
There's so much I don't understand.
Are you hungry?
Yes, big sister is feeling a bit hungry...
Is that true?
Those are the rumors.
Never mind that. This should be our chance to launch an all out attack on the Militia.
Commander... you're very warm.
That's only because this stuff they call snow is falling outside.
Commander, do you...
Once we deploy in full force, those barbarians won't stand a chance against us.
Still, it's only a rumor.
Let me handle it.
It might feel cold, but it IS also a bit... romantic, wouldn't you say?
Yes.
Is it Queen Dianna?
Yes.
According to the report we received from a unit purchasing supplies in Rudowa...
A woman who looked exactly like Queen Dianna's double was seen there.
Who's there?
It's Phil Ackman.
Enter.
About the attack on the Spaceship...
Yes, About that...
l wanted for us to wait until the Militia had completely excavated it so that we would then be able to capture it intact.
That Spaceship, Willgem, will be ready to launch in merely a day or two.
lmpossible!
That's what one of your own Royal Guard's agents told me.
If we allowed the Militia to launch into space...
...who knows what the Terrans would do if they reached the moon!
Commander, I believe you're overestimating them. The Militia can't...
The problems we've had with the Mustache Mobile Suit would be nothing compared to this!
That Spaceship, The Willgem...
...was repaired by technicians from our own army!
It appears there may be no other choice.
The attack will be limited only to the Spaceship itself.
In that case, we'll depart once the snow has stopped.
Chew it slowly, now.
Have you been out on your own since the destruction of Nocis?
Ever since then, she's been searching for her parents.
Hey, would you like to stay here, Miss Lulu?
Why not?
The Mechanical Dolls like to come to places where there's food.
They won't come here.
Really?
Really.
Excuse me...
Loran!
- Loran... - Hi!
Here for more bread?
Has Lady Kihel come by here?
Kihel hasn't been here recently.
- What brings you here, Fran? - I'm helping her out.
I see.
Oh? Welcome back!
Did you by chance see Lady Kihel anywhere out in the western streets?
No. Fran's here as well?
- Lady... - Right.
This is the cash from today.
Right. Thank you, Keith.
Don't be rash, Fran.
It's cold out today...
What are your intentions?
You're still selling your bread to both your friends and enemies alike?
ls that a problem?
Don't you feel the least bit ashamed?
No, I don't.
I'm merely a baker.
Why should I feel sorry about selling my bread to people?
I'm not like you, Fran, I don't have any specific company paying me for my work.
Fran!
I'm not on a salary either!
l'm paid on commission for each piece of work!
But even after they buy my work, it'll never be published...They're so strange about it!
You should watch yourself, Loran.
Me? Why?
Don't you get it? You were fooled by the kind words of Guin Rhineford!
Just how many people have been killed by the Militia's "Laura", anyway?
l haven't been killing anyone! I've only been waiting for the negotiations to go through!
Have those talks accomplished anything in the past?
Not a thing!
And while all of that has been happening, even more people are dying...
That's why I want to make bread for the people who are still alive!
It has nothing to do with whether one is friend or foe!
I agree with what you're saying, Keith...
I'm sorry I hit you.
Are we moving?
I'm not sure. We're supposed to build up the frontlines.
Joseph, this is Lieutenant Yanni.
Right...
Gah, Scary!
What was that?
Well, the television image came out too big...
Tension is mounting in the Soleil.
The situation isn't good. We'll need to strengthen the front line.
Yes.
What's that?
What's the matter?
According to the reports from Luzianna, the enemy will be coming from the same direction as before.
Hold on a moment.
- Colonel, it's the Willgem. - Okay.
Yes, I see. They'll be targeting the Willgem, so get it prepared for takeoff.
It's at that light over there.
ls that the Willgem?
If it really is a mobile battleship capable of flight...
l'd like to see it for myself.
I imagine it uses the same technology as these mobile suits.
Hey, Joseph, would you ever marry a girl like me?
Well, of course. Just a random crazy idea, you might say...
As for myself, I believed I was making a difference of some sort when I was publishing my anti-war articles...
...but now I've learned that I'm not helping anyone.
That might be.
The Dianna Counter desperately wants to capture that mobile suit, so there's little we can do.
We've done what we can for peace.
Not everyone from the moonrace is like that, Joseph.
Loran, please report in!
Yes, this is Loran.
Gallop? All clear.
Nothing to report?
Right. There nothing unusual here.
What's wrong? There was something I wanted to talk with you about...
I'm sorry. It'll have to wait until I return to the Gallop.
Why is that?
We can't do anything until we've built up those defense lines, and he acts that way? How irresponsible.
Is "Laura of the Militia" nothing more than one of Guin's tools?
I...
Even after all of that, you still want to keep making bread?
I have to keep going.
I'd like to think that I'll be able to use my abilities with the bread to turn this town into a neutral area.
I understand. You've continually sold bread to both armies for the sake of fulfilling that desire.
But if you work yourself sick, you won't be any good to anyone.
Where are we?
We're right in front of the Inglessa Militia.
I see. So the snow has stopped!
It's dawn now.
Where is Loran?
We haven't heard yet.
I can fire that rifle from inside the cockpit, right?
No problem!
The Suicide Squadron is on its way?
Hurry it up.
How many enemies are there?
At least ten mechanical dolls, and five of them are the "scarecrows"!
Fran, you should get out here.
I'd like stay and observe the battle.
You are not a soldier.
Even so...
If you still want to stay and photograph our battle, take this.
Joseph?
It might get colder out. Stay alive.
Same to you Joseph. Don't die!
Sochie, Miashei! The enemy's coming from the left!
Where's Loran?
Sochie, Joseph's "high heel" will be in the lead.
"High Heel"?
ls that Joseph's mechanical doll?
Right. The Jalopy mechanical division will use that in the center of their line.
Without the Mustached suit's beam rifle...
...they'll wipe us out in only a single shot, Loran!
Do you know the status on the battlefield?
Poe's the only one who'll fire the mega particle cannon!
If we all overdo it, their ship will be completely destroyed.
Roger that! Have all the other units use melee combat to fend off the Militia's suits.
There's no sign of the Mustached mobile suit yet?
Right. It's possible that it's protecting the Willgem.
Have they revamped the defenses yet?
Our obstructions are approaching on land...
...but they can't stop us from launching, right?
Will the cavern collapse when the thruster output pours out of the tail nozzle?
We should be able to get out before it caves in.
But by that point, wouldn't we simply be a target once we've left the ground?
The Dianna Counter couldn't be stupid enough to destroy a fully usable spaceship.
And once this thing has launched, their weapons can't easily hit us, so the battle should come to a quick end.
For now, that is.
For now?
Only for the time being.
An alarm? VR Head!
Five WaDoms...
...and five WaDs, as well.
I'll have to fire a warning shot at their particle cannon.
Preparing the cannon, acquiring target!
Target the heat source.
Fire!
Loran, that's the way! Disrupt their beams!
This is our chance! Move in and assist Loran's sniping!
Aim toward the Scarecrow's feet! Fire!
The fighting has started! Still, by the time I get the pictures worth snapping...
I might be dead!
There's the Mustache!
Troops, commence your attack!
- Here it comes! - Now!
Your damned little balls can't move as well as a real mobile suit!
Okay!
That pesky Ball!
You're dead!
Loran!
Now the Mustache's targeting me!?
Sochie, are you all right?
That was amazing, Gavane!
No...
I'm not even using that beam-type weapon!
It wasn't you, Gavane?
That's two.
Colonel Michael, concentrate all our forces on the Willgem's defense.
Loran, Joseph in the "High Heel" will charge at them for close range combat.
A "High heel"? Do you mean that FLAT?
Don't shoot me!
Engine Nozzles...
- Systems all go! - Is all this shaking supposed to happen?
I think its a bit much as well. Chief Horace!
There don't seem to be any major problems.
All hands, prepare for lift off!
Sochie, the Willgem's about to depart!
But there are still two Scarecrows over there!
Looks like you claim another victory, Sir Guin.
Well, l'm not quite sure about that yet.
Do you seriously think I'll let you take off!?
The Mustache?
Loran, are you okay?
Can you handle it, Loran?
Laura, buy us just a bit more time!
Understood, Sir Guin.
However... My name isn't Laura, and I'm not a simply a tool for someone to use!
Loran?
The Mustache can move that quickly!?
Gavane!
That ancient relic... is flying!
Forgive me... I rushed in too quickly and you ended up getting hurt.
What are you talking about? You're the sole reason we were able to take out the whole lot of 'em!
I lost control of myself... I don't know what got into me.
I can't say that I'm aware of all your problems...
But there are many questions in life that will never have a quick answer.
Yeah, I can already see that.
Loran, Colonel Michael is looking for you.
Sure.
I hope you're prepared to get yelled at.
After all, you were missing for the entire night.
Right.
Hey, Gavane...
Oh, you wanted to speak with me about something?
Forget about it.
Is it okay for you to rest here instead of the field hospital?
Sir Guin...
...your Laura may not be the perfect angel you thought he'd be.
In that case, what else could Laura be?
He's more like a youthful and beautiful, but unexpectedly fierce panther.
A panther?
Yes. The two of you are the only ones who haven't yet realized that.
Eventually, he'll attempt to use his claws to rip you to shreds, Sir Guin.
Then I'll be looking forward to that day.
During the Autumn ceremony...
We manage to locate Queen Dianna, but Corin also appears and that further complicates things.
Lieutenant Harry and Queen Dianna,
request my help to stage a mobile suit battle that will cure the shattered state of his mind.
Exactly how do I pull off a battle that can do this?
Next time... on TURN A GUNDAM... "The Battle Of Enlightenment"
"The heat hawk slices through the Autumn wind."
The Battle Of Enlightenment
