Sunrise At Midnight
If the Sunbelt is anything as wonderful as this area is...
...I can see why they wouldn't want to give it up to our own Moonrace.
However, we're still in need of at least half of it.
Would you like to try using this, Mr. Harry?
Why would I?
It's good to experience what life on the earth is like for most people.
You think so?
The people who usually harvest this farmland are gone now.
Are you blaming Dianna Counter for their disappearance?
That's not what I mean.
We've already been receiving help from the Moonrace for the harvest.
This thing looks ghastly.
Will you be able to use it?
It should be easier than piloting a mobile suit.
There was once a time when none of this was even here.
I understand.
Lieutenant Harry, I intend to return to the moon.
Is Dianna Counter going to surrender?
That's not it.
l would like to reorganize our plans to emigrate to Earth.
So then do you intend to return to the Soleil?
Yes.
Still, I also came this far south...
...so that I may also make use of the Zacktraeger
Queen Dianna?
What do you mean by that?
The only way some of the renegade troops that we've been sent could have arrived here was through the Zacktraeger.
Right.
The forbidden trail.
Those who use the forbidden trail need to be punished.
Yes.
Looks like we've been sent to another remote outpost.
Commander Gavane, over here!
I've found another place that connects to the lower caverns.
Is that so? Pretty deep, is it?
Whether it's deep or shallow, I'm betting there's a good chance we'll find something down there.
This is the third one.
There aren't any more?
I don't know, the rest are buried beneath the Nanoskin.
Send me a WaD to help dig.
Roger that.
Have these three Mobile Armors delivered to the Soleil.
Are you sure about that? The Soleil doesn't really have the facilities to repair these.
In that case, Your Majesty Dianna Soleil, I wish you well.
I thank you for all of the wonderful experiences that we've shared.
Loran, you're now truly a pure hearted man of earth.
Yes.
Lieutenant Harry, Please take good care of Queen Dianna.
That is the purpose of this Gold Type.
You need not worry.
Lieutenant Harry, let us go.
Very well.
Queen Dianna...
And now I'm alone...
Come on, you... finally.
This is putting the mechanical dolls through too much stress...
Why take that shot now?
I'm photographing the real face of the war.
I'll send you a copy once the film has been developed.
How will taking pictures in this place help you write news articles?
My photos and news articles aren't published in the papers these days.
At least they still pay me for them.
You do it in order to make a living?
I want to take photos so I can archive the history of this war.
Archive this war?
It's because of this war that you're getting married, isn't it Miss Sochie?
The war has nothing to do with that!
If it weren't for this war, you'd never have met Mr. Gavane Gooney, right?
It's about time he returned!
Captain, we've arrived at the Willgem.
Good. Thank you for your help.
Lady Kihel looks like Queen Dianna, and that captivated the Commander of the Royal Guard, right?
So because of that, we now have a spy on board the Soleil, right Captain?
I guess you could say that.
Is this what you have found in the new Mountain Cycle?
Right.
In that case, if you'll allow me, I will escort you to the Soleil.
Did you get the pictures?
They're printing now.
That's a strange casing.
This seems to be some sort of missile or bomb.
That mark means they're radioactive, right?
What about those items in the back shelf?
They look like fuel pods for nuclear engines, or something...
It's definitely an ancient ruin.
Let me see the scan of that formation.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this was once a nuclear power plant?
I haven't been able to see any.
In that case...
That means the items in there are most likely nuclear warheads or nuclear missiles!
Mobile Suits?
Where'd they come from?
What's that?
Something's coming here from the northern shaft.
We haven't investigated that section yet.
Don't let them threaten you into fighting!
Tell the soldiers from the Militia...
...that if he fires down here, we'll all end up dead!
Commander! Dianna Counter's troops are here!
Those people are already excavating ruins down here?
- Leave it at two thirds! - Got it!
Where have you been off too?
You went off to spend time with my sister again, didn't you?
Well, Milady Kihel and Queen Dianna wanted to meet with one another again.
That's right!
Why would my sister...
You can contact Queen Dianna?
It seems that the moon's been having some internal problems... and those two...
This isn't good!
Gavane and his men have met up with a squadron from Dianna Counter!
Gavane and his people?
Weren't they trying to excavate Lost Mountain?
Lost Mountain?
It is a mountain that has, for a long time, been off limits to us miners.
Let's get to it.
Milady, don't be so hasty!
Why shouldn't I!?
For the moment, they're only staring one another down.
Even so, we should deploy there using the Gallop.
Joseph's troops and the Jalopy Team are supposed to be protecting the Willgem and can't move, right?
That's true.
- Miss Sochie, take command of the Gallop. - Alright.
That okay, Loran?
Let's go, then.
Roger.
They appear to be Mobile Armor types.
Looks like they're transformable.
I've heard a new type of weapon had been uncovered at the Mountain Cycle that'll help increase our battle strength.
It was the Zenoa Team that located these. I had nothing to do with it.
I haven't seen you around here for some time, Second Lieutenant Harry.
From this day onward, You should refer to me as a First Lieutenant.
Were you out on a pleasure trip?
I have my own concerns.
Have you heard that the Royal Guard is assisting the Zenoa team?
That's pretty strange.
Just because the fire extinguisher seems to be working doesn't mean it shouldn't be inspected.
When did you leave?
I was trying to fool you.
It's sort of a game which I had thought up to ease the tension.
I guess she fooled me.
- Kihel Heim! - Queen Dianna!
Truly, Thank you so much for all that you've done for me!
Queen Dianna, I can only imagine how much you suffered while you were out there...
Most of my suffering came from things I brought on myself.
But you, Kihel Heim...
Lasting all this time until today, and being forced to command the entire army on your own from the Soleil...
We can only be thankful that you were able to keep Dianna Counter from committing any irreparable sins.
I'm flattered to hear you say that, Lady Dianna Soriel.
You do not have to refer to me as such, Kihel.
Right, Queen Dianna.
It must've been difficult to learn about the moon, this army's affairs, and my relationship with the people, wasn't it?
Right.
To pull that off, I first had to learn how to read your computer's database...
...And I gained access to your private data.
You were "Dianna", so that makes sense.
It must be a terrible experience for you to have lived for so long...
That isn't really true.
It wasn't a complete record.
There were many great and happy memories in my past.
Queen Dianna...
Today, the best thing that I can say to you, for having taken care of the Soleil for so long, is "Thank You."
Who is it?
Lieutenant Harry Ord.
Is everything all right in here?
It is, First Lieutenant Harry.
First Lieutenant?
That's his reward for having protected you.
The relics they uncovered from the ground should be given to those of us who traveled to earth and endured its horrors.
Makes enough sense to me.
I suppose the Zenoa Team and the Soleil will learn that too.
- Oh, Soul... - Of the moon!
Jacop, push our speed to the limit!
Please take a look at this map of Lost Mountain.
This is rather interesting..
It looks something like a crater.
Don't the satellite readouts show you the very same thing?
When you're one of the moonrace, it's not the kind of thing you would have noticed as being unusual.
At this current rate, we'll be too late to save Gavane and the others.
The throttle's over here on the right.
Miashei, you should get in your Kapool and prepare to depart.
Didn't the Militia forces understand?
It doesn't seem so.
Perhaps this will...
It moved!
That shouldn't be a reason for concern...
All of them have intact warheads...
There are eight in total!
These Nuclear devices are in perfect condition!
Muron, ready our team's weapons.
Is there anyone here aside from the Zenoa team?
Just give me a second.
All I see is the Zenoa team.
What's with these underground scans? Why am I detecting so much metal?
Sister Cancer, the Zenoa team said he already confronted the Militia, right?
This terrain is uneven, they're hiding in the trenches! Flash them out of there!
Huh? Captain!
What kind of fight is this?
Commander, they're starting to become more active.
As I thought.
Even if it's lacking the head, that Scarecrow is going to be a threat to us.
Ames, ignore what the people below us keep saying!
One down!
Commander, let's see just what sort of secret weapons these guys have dug out for us!
And they said we'd be killed if we fought there... they stalled while waiting for reinforcements!
Horace, remind Lady Sochie to watch out for those Mobile Suits over to our left.
I'll be sure to tell her.
Captain Sochie!
Don't start calling me Captain like that!
l think it suits you.
Make sure you don't let my Kapool get destroyed!
I know...
Try not to overdo things yourself, Sochie.
Moving out!
Loran will be heading toward the front.
Mr. Ladderum, lower the Gallop's speed.
Understood.
Mr. Horace, you got Mr. Jacop and Mr. Bruno to man the cannons, right?
They're all set.
Is this what Lost Mountain looks like, Loran?
It seems that way. This area looks a lot like the surface of the moon.
I told you! If you start a battle here, we'll all be killed!
What are you talking about!? Your side's the one that pulled the trigger first!
What? I don't even see any mechanical dolls around here...
Are these bombs?
You can't touch those!
If you don't realize what they are, please listen to what I'm telling you!
Run!
These bombs have been armed!
So you've said.
You know what these old relics were meant for, right?
What did you say these powerful bombs were called?
They're nuclear bombs!
These items can destroy all of Lost Mountain and the area surrounding it!
Run, all of you! Before time runs out!
Roger. Ames, get ready to retreat.
But we'll be taking these war spoils with us!
You fools!
Get out of here, old man!
You people...
- Here come their reinforcements! - Seems so.
- I'll leave these with you, Commander! - Right!
Clear outta here, Zenoa Team!
We, the Red Team, will take care of the Militia's wooden dolls!
The Red Team is here as well?
So there are still a few left...
Tell them we mustn't fight here!
Pick up the remaining two.
No way!
We have to confirm that they are functional.
And what if we were to set them off?
We'll drop them and run.
Good, these two aren't set to go off.
But the ones that were taken by the Militia soldiers have an active time fuse!
Old man, are you alright?
I've had worse.
Moutokie, just attack the militia's Zakus!
You can count on it!
- Zaku knockoffs! - Aiming!
That was stupid!
There's a taboo on hitting a mobile suit dead on!
- A mobile suit exploded!? - Is the world ending!?
What?
It closed...
Automatically?
The Mobile Suit's engine exploded.
What was that explosion?
The Auto defense systems suddenly activated...
Radioactive readings?
You want me to act as your body double here on the Soleil?
The time has come for me to depart and seek out those whom I can still trust.
It's only going to be temporary.
But I'm just the daughter of a mine owner!
Even Miran very well could be working in collaboration with Agrippa Maintainer.
Because of that, Dianna needs to conduct her research in total secrecy.
Right. For sake of peace on the Moon and for the Earth.
For the sake of unifying these two nations into one.
Ames, John, come and help guard the weapons we stole.
My tail nozzle... It won't activate!
Ames! John!
Hey Dianna Counter elite... I'll show you what I'm capable of!
Red Team, Militia pilots... cease this at once!
The objects that were discovered here in Lost Mountain are Nuclear Bombs, which are incredibly dangerous!
Then run away if you're afraid!
We aren't quite so timid!
This is the Red Team's fight. We'll take care of this ourselves!
Zenoa Team, retreat! Get as far away from Lost Mountain as you can!
Gallop! The Zenoa Team's communication... - We heard it.
Don't do it, Miss Miashei!
You can't move in! It's too dangerous there!
The battle's becoming too tough for the Suicide Squad to handle alone!
That's an order.
A Nuclear weapon is powerful enough to reduce something as large as Nocis to dust in an instant!
Why can't I destroy him!?
We're being defeated by the Red Team! We've become too careless!
What should we do now, Ames?
What else should you do!?
Retreat from here now, Suicide Squad!
Nuclear weapons don't simply destroy everything. They also infect the land with a dreadful poison!
Commander Gavane is carrying several of those bombs. We must help him.
Will you just listen to me?
That nuclear poison can stay in effect for a hundred years or more!
We don't have time to fight!
Red Team....
If you are from the Moonrace, you should understand the terror of a nuclear bomb!
Get out of there now!
Moutokie, I'll bury the Militia's mobile suits myself.
I'll show you the way I fight!
Aren't you going to run as well?
I'm leaving now!
I'll chop up any fool who doesn't get it!
You won't kill anyone, Mustache!
Do you think I'll just let you win, you bastards!?
Now get out of here, please!
Sis!
Retreat!
I can't detect anything with all that metal in the ground...
MR. GAVANE GOONEY, GET OUT OF THERE!
There isn't much data here from the Zenoa Team.
It doesn't look like they're tactical Nuclear warheads.
There's more than one level.
If it was a nuke, I'd run away as well.
Why won't you let me fight!?
Why are we running away!?
Gavane was fighting!
I can't let you deploy in a Mechanical Doll. We have to listen to Chief Horace.
It's an incredibly powerful bomb! If we did, we'd all be...
Gavane is fighting! Are you trying to make him look stupid?
Those stupid weapons could end up killing us all.
Why are we in such a rush?
We still might not make it in time.
Do you think that the Commander was able to get out?
Of course, he's our Commander!
We wouldn't survive in all that radiation, even when wearing Normal Suits.
This is...
It's like daylight?
- That was... - Is that thing really a bomb?
Here it comes!
That bomb creates an explosion like this!?
So the Gallop has been designed to deal with nuclear warfare.
Isn't it far too early for daybreak?
It wasn't far from here...
There's no doubt that this was a nuclear blast.
A sunrise in the middle of the night is an abomination that should never have existed.
The capacity to totally annihilate enemy and ally.
Mr. Zenoa knew the truth about the terror of the Dark History...
And so, to ensure the burial of these Nuclear weapons, he entrusts them to me.
Meanwhile, Queen Dianna and Lady Kihel...
...are forced to flee from Commander Phil's ambitions.
Next Time... on TURN A GUNDAM...
