To see such a sunrise in the middle of the night is quite terrifying.
It's similar to the sunrise one sees while on the moon, and yet it's also very different.
The shuddering ground and air causes our souls to tremble in fear.
Lost Mountain...
...the place where the blackest mark of the Dark History was left on the earth.
Entrusted Things
It's seven or eight kilometers at its deepest point...
And about 50 kilometers in diameter.
That's the most accurate data that the White Doll's sensors can pick up...
But I can't say it's 100% accurate.
Loran, do we really have to stay inside our cockpits?
You can't leave them!
Why is that?
Frankly, you shouldn't even have the hatch open at all.
The Kapool itself should have enough shielding to protect you, though.
Gavane was somewhere within this carter...
By protection, do you mean from the poison?
That's right, it should protect you from radiation poisoning.
Is the air poisoned?
I've already explained it to you.
Well, that's true...
But I don't really understand all of your talk about half lives, energy, radiation and contamination.
Even after the explosion, the poison will spread around this area for quite some time, right?
Unfortunately, it will.
It will remain in this condition... for what seems to be nearly an eternity.
Nothing will be able to live here.
An eternity?
That's correct.
Lady Sochie, we must go to the Soleil.
The Soleil? - Why?
So there was such a legendary weapon hidden on the Earth.
This fact will significantly change the face of this war.
From my perspective, this could be beneficial.
Those probably weren't the only hidden Nuclear Weapons that were discovered.
Regardless of all else, I will claim them...
And use them to alter the situation for my own sake.
Commander?
Go and meet with the Zenoa Team and retrieve the remaining Nuclear Weapons.
I'll accept that as an order.
There's quite a bit of truth to your words.
Once we have claimed those weapons...
...our situation will completely change.
It will be totally different.
How could all of this damage have been caused by one type of bomb...
Lieutenant, are you all right?
Is that you, Leia? And everyone else?
I'm not getting any responses from them.
That must mean...
...the only ones who survived were my own unit, and Leia...
Minos, we have to move!
Yes, Sir!
You can't keep wearing that space suit forever.
Hey John, isn't this where Commander Gavane's unit should be?
It should be down there, we fled twenty or thirty kilometers from where he was.
You mean he'd be somewhere beyond this ridge, right?
I had no idea a bomb like this existed!
It seems large enough to destroy the area of about two or three cities.
Well, that's just the way it is.
We can only blame ourselves.
It can't be true.
I don't see any other survivors in this area.
Apparently.
What happened to Minos?
He took off his space suit and went off on his own for a bit.
Did he?
By the way, Lieutenant Zenoa, what exactly are you carrying?
What do you...
I had forgotten.
I brought two of the nuclear warheads with me!
Is that a problem?
Of course it's a problem!
Lieutenant Zenoa!
Lieutenant!
What?
It's the enemy's Mobile Suits!
So there were a few survivors.
Leia, follow me, we'll leave here.
Lieutenant, what do you think you're doing?
You shouldn't be carrying around Nuclear weapons like these with you!
l couldn't leave them behind and allow them to fall into enemy hands!
Two WaDs?
Are those the WaDs from the Zenoa Team?
Just who I was looking for!
I, Lieutenant Poe, am here under Commander Phil's orders.
Who is this?
They're not from the Royal Guard?
The Lieutenant is carrying the atomic weapons.
Leia, don't tell her that!
You still have them?
I'll take those for Commander Phil.
But nuclear weapons have never been used before in the entire Moonrace's history!
If we use these, we'll be able to force the Militia to quit resisting us. Hand them over, now!
So you want to use these to advance your position? Then find some of your own!
You won't get these warheads from me!
Captain, what are you talking about?
I won't go along with you!
We have to take them to the Soleil ourself before the enemy finds and attacks us.
What gives you the authority to make such decisions!?
Halt!
You must stop this!
Don't interfere!
That thing is a real nuclear weapon!
We need it because it's a real nuclear weapon, don't we?
Isn't that the point?
Obtaining them by force could set them off!
I'll take that chance!
Get off!
There is no way that I'll give this up!
I've seen more than enough nuclear blasts today!
Lieutenant, please don't be so stubborn!
Are you insane?
Quit being such a damn pest!
If those bomb were to detonate, we'd all be killed!
How could you just fire your beam rifle at them so carelessly?
I was too reckless...
Please, just slow down and consider what's on the Lieutenant's mind.
That's...
I don't remember causing any damage.
Yeah, I know.
Can you make it move?
Just leave it to me.
There.
It's working?
It'll need a full overhaul.
That sounds about right.
Enemy sighting?
It's only a mini-doll.
Cease-fire!
I can handle it.
Milady, you mustn't.
What is it holding?
I need to speak with each of you!
What kind of thing is that mini-doll holding?
It looks like a bomb!
That's what it is!
You mustn't attack!
These bombs are the very same ones which you saw go off last night!
Then don't bring them over here, get away from us!
Please, take these and run!
Why should we?
Please, take these and get away from here!
Run away? Where?
We're your enemies!
This bomb doesn't care who its friends or foes are!
I'll stop the people who are chasing after them.
It's coming!
Is that a SUMO?
Loran!
We have to do something to help, Milady, Miashei!
Why would I find the Mustache here?
They're approaching me without weapons?
Do you really want me to attack you?
Well, here I go!
Why aren't you dodging? Aren't you carrying a pilot?
- Give me water... - ...Water!
Could these enemies be more than simple Militia pilots!?
Commander Phil!
Loran, your battle plan was idiotic!
That could have ended very badly.
What if they had've attacked us directly!?
It's a real phenomenon.
They say that when people are dying from radiation poisoning, the only thing they want is water.
Did that do it?
After witnessing that explosion...
I'm willing to do whatever is necessary to help Queen Dianna ensure that this war finally ends.
That's just what I would expect from the person with whom such items may be entrusted too.
Entrusted?
Allow me to enlist in the cause you just declared.
You mean my appeal?
That's right.
Take these and head for the mountains, or the sea... no, head for the mountains.
What if you're court martialed for doing this?
Whatever comes will come.
I don't want to see my own men die in vain.
I'm counting on you, Mr. Militia ace pilot.
But...
My name is Ralpha Zenoa.
After seeing the capability of nuclear weapons firsthand...
...I've become a soldier who's lost his will to continue fighting.
Loran, should I go?
Go where?
Milady?
That man, you're worried about letting him go alone, aren't you?
That is true, but...
We'd be an easy target if we all went as a group anyhow.
But Sochie, that Lieutenant...
And besides, that appeal to Queen Dianna must be made no matter what.
Loran, can you handle the weapons on your own?
I'll be fine.
I'm dead if these explode...
That should be alright.
Why would they call this thing "Muttowoo"? That's such a weird name!
Commander Phil decided it.
Muttowoo... It's still weird.
So what you're saying is that you'd like for me to relinquish my power?
You saw the explosion last night.
That's correct, I saw it.
Something of such a scale could only have been caused by a nuclear weapon.
That is something which Dianna Counter has never directly possessed.
Therefore, it could only have been excavated from Lost Mountain.
A Nuclear weapon?
As long as our hands are tied by such taboos, we may never be able to properly deal with this.
If the Militia gains them, we can't guarantee they'll hold back. While we could use nuclear weapons to destroy the Militia,
Our taboo prevents us from wielding them.
Queen Dianna's weak diplomatic policies are no longer needed.
Yet the Moonrace's very existence, and the fact that the earth has been restored...
...Are because we have banned the use of such things.
And now, you wish to regress to the time of mankind's forgotten sins.
Whether it's the Terrans who oppose us, or the terrorists within our own ranks, you've been too weak to oppose them.
Given this opportunity, what position do you wish to obtain for yourself?
What I want is the power to completely remove anyone on this planet who opposes our right to live here.
We'll then force these barbarians to do hard labor, if necessary.
The Moonrace will rule over the Terrans as if it was our second nation.
Our second nation?
If you do that, the war will become even bloodier than it is now.
The earth's resistance is what has cost us so much...
And so that's the position we're in now.
If it's your true desire for all of us to return to the earth...
Then, we must hurry and do what is needed to make that a reality!
Your hesitant and indecision will not get us anywhere!
This power cannot be granted to you.
Do you speak for everyone?
Treating the earth as the moon's vassal nation? Nonsense.
That approach will only cause history to repeat.
If you dare suggest this again...
Ambassador Miran, Commander Phil would be executed.
You would have this man executed?
Execution...
That is Dianna's strength.
Had it been myself, I would've been forced to give in.
- It's the enemy! - It's also Lieutenant Zenoa!
Lieutenant Zenoa, I'll fire if you come any closer!
Let us through!
Did you take these people captive? If you wish to make it through here alive, you must drop all your weapons!
It'll all become clear once you let us all through!
I'm no captive!
I believe that Queen Dianna's suggestion about stalling for time is correct.
Ambassador Miran, if we take any more time, the earth will be seized by Agrippa's faction, who only wishes to stay on the moon!
What is it?
Lieutenant Zenoa has brought back enemy units?
What is this?
He said that he wishes to meet with Her Majesty.
What are you doing here, Earth mobile suits!?
I am only here to negotiate.
Please hear us out!
Then leave your weapons!
I can't do that!
Wait!
You damn ignorant fools!
Come on!
Stop this!
They didn't come here to fight you!
These Moonrace morons don't understand anything!
Lady...
All of you, clear out!
Yesterday's explosion was a nuclear blast!
It was powerful enough to destroy an entire mountain or a city in a single blow!
This isn't the time to be squabbling over something so petty!
You fools!
Isn't that Sochie!?
Stop this now!
Sochie?
Miss Kihel!
Lieutenant Harry?
Don't ask any questions and follow me.
Yes.
Hold it, please.
What is this?
As I told you, my wish was to see you relinquish your position in the stage's center to me.
Queen Dianna, now, before it's too late!
Miss Dianna, run!
Thank you!
Leave her.
Commander?
I'm already aware of the game you're trying to play. Now go back to your room.
Queen Dianna's departing.
And you, Lieutenant Harry?
I am tasked with the protection of Queen Dianna.
I wish to stay in contact with Lieutenant Harry.
Yes Ma'am. You can use my personal computer.
Thank you.
Hopefully, this confuses Commander Phil... but...
Mr. Zenoa!
Are you alright?
I won't allow them to attack the ladies again.
Now all of you, listen to me!
Why did you bring the enemy here!?
They are here as Terran representatives who wish to request for this war's end!
You mustn't!
The legs...
Don't bother to die in this place! Get out of here!
The gold one!
The SUMO Type?
Sochie, if you can hear me, please run!
Sister?
Fire!
This has gone too far!
Mr. Zenoa!
If a nuclear weapon were to be used again for war...
...we'll only find ourselves... writing the Dark History's next chapter.
What's going on?
Is that Lady Sochie?
Mr. Joseph?
Tell me about it later.
Why is it important for me to have escaped?
It's all for the sake of protecting Dianna.
Then why don't you attempt to take down Commander Phil?
As things are now, it's difficult to see who our enemies and allies are.
Now that I've escaped from the Soleil posing as Dianna...
Dianna will now be treated as though she were Kihel.
So then...
...wouldn't Commander Phil simply just kill the real Dianna?
No, Commander Phil's unsure of which one's the true Dianna, so he'll just try stalling for time first.
That's what I aimed for.
I understand... we look so similar.
Lieutenant Harry, we shall go the the Zacktraeger.
What? Go to the Zacktraeger?
We must proceed before Miran and the others can start manipulating things, and once on the moon, we'll confirm Agrippa's true intentions.
That is in fact a good idea... But...
Is the one on that shuttle truly Miss Kihel?
When I fled with her, she did seem to have Miss Kihel's scent.
Guin and the others had mentioned something like this...
The Dark History truly began when a vast hellfire was created which consumed many lives on the earth.
My understanding of the Mountain Cycle leads me to believe that mankind had once created some sort of super-weapon.
In that case, the war with the Moonrace will be settled by whichever side can find these weapons first.
A super weapon?
I now have this "super weapon."
But I cannot give it to either Dianna Counter, nor the Militia Soldiers.
I alone am responsible for it.
Well, I was ordered to observe activity around the Soleil's territory...
...And then I found you there.
Hey, we're not nearly close enough for you to speak to me that way.
If I hadn't been there to rescue you, you wouldn't be able to reprimand me like that.
Let's not talk about it.
I wonder where Harry and Miss Dianna had gone off too...
I doubt they would simply disappear for their own enjoyment.
Oh?
However you look at it, it looks more like they just ran away.
Ran away?
We can find out more after we've reunited with my unit.
This is the place where I was supposed to meet with them.
Miss Fran Doll?
We're going to cross the ocean to the south of us?
Right. There is a place called Manuipich that was mentioned in the Royal Guard's transmission.
That name... it's a place that was mentioned when they were discussing where to repair their ship, right?
Correct. Lord Guin has also spoken to Chief Horace about this matter.
What should we do?
We'll catch up with them.
I'll go as well.
I still wish to speak with Miss Dianna.
Well, About Dianna...
What is it?
l have been told that the Queen is under confinement due to an attempted mutiny.
You managed to obtain enemy intel?
That is strange.
Strange?
I remember hearing her voice telling me to escape.
I heard it too.
Then the one who has been captured is...
That was my sister's voice!
Dianna has been confined aboard the Soleil.
But Commander Phil remains confused when Kihel escaped and pretended to be Dianna.
Elsewhere, Lieutenant Poe believes....
...that she herself can become the Queen if Dianna was killed.
I now desire to protect both individuals.
Next Time... on TURN A GUNDAM... The Two Named Soriel
