Despite it being only a single small Dianna Counter team, their attack against the Willgem put it in great danger.
The White Doll began to show its true potential...
...which allowed the Willgem to fly towards the ancient legendary Adeskan world tree...
...in order to reach the Branch of Ades, the Zacktraeger.
Zacktraeger
Almost there. Raise us just five more meters!
Re-routing power from the Mega Particle Cannon.
Is this ship truly going into space and to the moon?
Are we really flying?
How should I know?
This isn't what I enlisted for...
You realize our air in there will start to thin out pretty quickly, right?
You can use this computer.
Miss Sochie, Miss Miashei, and members of the suicide Squadron...
As of now, the Willgem is in space.
Remain inside your cockpit, or you will not survive.
You got that, Miashei?
Understood.
Mr. Ames, Mr. John, did you get that?
Weren't these mechanical dolls originally designed for space use?
Hey, is that a bucket approaching us?
What do you mean, bucket?
Our relative speed must be lowered to zero once we've entered the Zacktraeger...
- Do you understand? - Yes
There are also probably servicing and inspection teams inside there.
Do you copy that, Willgem?
We've got you.
We're now reducing our velocity...
...to Zero, like you said.
Are you positive about that?
- That's right, just sit down. - There's no where else to sit!
Just a hair to the left...!
And we've done it!
Zacktraeger's Docking is now complete, Lieutenant.
Seems like we did it, Great work.
But I thought Dianna Counter would also be here.
Is that it, then?
No. Colonel Michael, please make your broadcast.
Right. We have now entered into space. It's a vacuum. Make sure to wear your space suit when you exit the ship.
Also, all Militia men must closely listen to any Moonrace technician's instructions before trying anything.
The excavated ship? Why would it be in the Zacktraeger?
What do you want us to do? Harry Ord's SUMO is there as well.
Just monitor it.
At any rate, we must focus on the timing of our return to the moon.
Lieutenant Harry accompanied the Willgem here to the Zacktraeger?
Is that you, Midgard?
Forgive my interruption.
I believe you understand our current status.
Please accompany me to the bridge.
And what of the soldiers stationed on the Zacktraeger?
I'll have them deploy their Mobile Suit teams.
We have no idea what those Militia barbarians intend to do up here.
Hands up!
I just assisted your Willgem, you know?
I understand that, but you're also from Dianna's Royal Guard... So I have to confine you.
Hey, you in that space suit. Are you in pain?
I couldn't breathe!
Naturally. That helmet had no air in it.
These are the space suits that were made for the Willgem's crew...
They have to be set properly.
Now try the helmet on.
Your visor can open as well.
We can't move from here?
They're automated docking arms, so...
No... Once they've grabbed us, they won't let go.
The space docking arm must be controlled by somebody.
I'm not getting any response.
Honestly...
Don't tell me Chief Horace and the others tricked us to lure us out here?
I'm afraid I don't have an answer for that.
It seems like we'll have to go outside to remove those docking arms.
Watch the flash on that thing!
But, it was a good photo opportunity!
With someone from the Royal Guard and the Militia in their space suits...
...and even Dianna Soriel is here.
So how do you operate this helmet?
Miashei, learn to use the space suit somewhere else.
Tell me! This ship is now immobile thanks to your people, isn't it!?
Your suspicions are understandable, but misplaced.
In that case, why did you sneak aboard?
Haven't you realized just who has also done so, Lieutenant?
What do you mean?
The fact is that you people are the ones who've entered your enemy's territory. You must understand this.
Then you're suggesting we're the uninvited guests?
Yep. That's correct.
We could use you as a hostage.
I would not be a suitable one.
Then you've truly turned against the moon?
Well, you could call it that.
Many things are happening within Dianna Counter.
I hope I've lived up to your expectations.
Colonel Michael, the Lieutenant will help us.
He poses no threat to us.
The way things are now, he couldn't do much to hamper us even if he wanted to.
I also believe you're on pretty good terms with this man, Miss Kihel Heim.
Isn't she Dianna?
She is Queen Dianna.
Colonel?
Then, she'll be Dianna Soriel.
Correct.
I must ask you, Lady Cancer and Sir Muron, please go into space and fight for our defense.
However, before the Gendarme exits the Zacktraeger...
...I request that you do not use your Mobile Suits against them.
Have you requested for reinforcements from the central hub?
Yes sir, two WaDoms will launch.
They're taking their sweet time.
The Militia's ship docked together with a Royal Guard's SUMO.
Their true objective is unknown.
Just fight them off if they make any hostile moves.
If necessary, use lethal force...
But don't allow either the Zacktraeger or Gendarme to be damaged.
We've received no responses from them, but Dianna Counter is here.
This is pretty nice.
Madame, quit playing around.
There's gravity in here?
While we're docked in this place, our inertia creates limited gravity
Sir Guin...
Over here.
What about a ship wide inspection? Without Chief Horace around...
Once we get these space suits on, we'll do it ourselves.
- So you have a manual? - Yeah.
And so, this is how you attach the helmet.
Won't we hit each other?
We just have to take care not to collide.
Why didn't Mr. Horace make any more pilot suits himself?
Things like that are too expensive to make in large amounts.
Lady Lily... What in the world are you doing!?
Aren't we changing?
You're supposed to wear it on top of your clothes.
I see. Otherwise, it'd feel too cold and hard.
Laura, you and Sochie will go investigate the area around the Control Room.
Investigate?
They're likely to deploy their attack unit from there.
They're coming.
But we can't fight them while here.
We can't allow them to interfere with the Willgem's hull inspection either.
- Bring Colonel Michael down here. - Sir!
The White Doll's chest is still burdened with the nuclear bombs...
If Loran prefers not to go out, Miashei and I can go.
That's right.
The earth and space are quite different.
You don't want to head out there yet, Milady!
We'll be fine as long as we're wearing these.
In space, it'll take more than a simple change of clothes to survive.
That's why I want you to lead them, Laura.
Miashei, the Willgem will need you to stay here and protect it.
- Fine with me. - Where are we going?
I was planning to fly around this cylindrical dock.
Has Queen Dianna come to space, as well?
Correct, she's currently in the Zacktraeger's second docking bay.
They have yet to depart.
Lieutenant, are you against Queen Dianna returning to the moon?
I do not wish for her to meet with Agrippa alone.
Can you see through that face guard?
The view is projected by some sort of television.
But I can't say the pants are very feminine...I don't like them.
What is it?
The Lieutenant would like to attempt to negotiate with the Zacktraeger forces.
Allow me to use your communication equipment.
They haven't responded to us yet.
In that case, the Lieutenant could try visiting the control room directly.
You'd go using the SUMO?
And the Lieutenant would be willing to do that favor for us?
Correct.
The image you see there... what does it show?
You mean here?
Aside from the inside of a barrel, we can see the Gendarme!
That's on the deck immediately above the Willgem!
Above us?
You're saying we're on the same deck!?
In that case...
It'll depart for the moon at the next timing cycle!
How in the world could I not have noticed this earlier!?
- That ship is where Queen Dianna is? - Yes.
We should use this guy.
It'd be impossible to start a ship to ship battle while we're in here. Tell everyone to prepare themselves!
Understood.
Inform Laura and Sochie of everything.
- Lieutenant Yanni! - Sir!
Lieutenant Harry!
Are you fighting as well, Lieutenant?
Listen to me, Lady Sochie...
You absolutely must not use your guns inside Zacktraeger's dock!
Act as though you're unaware of them as we move off this deck.
Did you hear him?
Why can't we use the radio?
The enemy could intercept our signal.
We must use direct contact line to communicate.
Please open the shutter!
I will go and to rescue Queen Dianna.
Huh? Is she here in this place as well?
Let me hear you too!
Sochie, the battle ship up there wishes to avoid engaging in any fighting.
I believe I'm beginning to understand.
So in that case, Sochie, please pretend that you and Loran haven't noticed it when you leave.
And you, Lieutenant?
I'll move elsewhere.
You two must act as our ship's guards.
Right.
Harry has yet to notice us.
- Seems that way. - Your watchdog doesn't seem very reliable.
But based on the way he's collaborating with our enemy, we can assume he's betrayed us.
Lieutenant Harry also only wishes for peace with the earth.
They're coming.
Lieutenant Harry...
There isn't any response. Do they wish to continue the silence?
Loran, what is that?
It's so blue and white, what is it?
That's the earth.
You can see the Atlantic Ocean, and the North Ameria Continent is to the right of it.
You must be kidding! If that's where we live, we're way too high up!
We did climb up quite a ways.
It's no use... As far as I can tell, Our data from Mr. Horace doesn't include anything on the Zacktraeger's control system.
There's some movement between the cylinder and the central hub...
What are you babbling about now?
Sorry.
I see something moving.
What's that?
It's a linear motor car that's used to travel between the cylinder and the central hub.
Linear car?
Correct, it's a way to save energy.
So you're saying that this is the route Dianna Counter's Mechanical Dolls would use?
It's probable.
I see!
Milady... You mustn't!
It seems as though this bar can be used by any mechanical doll.
This is the first thing that the Dianna Counter forces would use! We should try a different approach.
Don't be a coward.
Between us and the Central hub...
...there's an equivalent to the distance between the east and west coasts of North Ameria.
Is it really that far?
I believe there should be another control room on top of that docking tube's block, don't you think?
That could be.
This thing is huge.
The one on the right is none other than Queen Dianna.
That damned Midgard would dare to use that woman as a shield!
He seems to be using some sort of sign. What could that mean?
I could assume that you understand the meaning of that sign.
That's one of Lieutenant Harry's awkward habits.
He thinks doing that makes him look dandy.
Amusing, isn't it?
It is indeed amusing to see a Mobile suit doing that.
More or less.
The two WaDoms are now approaching.
Alright, once we have departed from here, their units will attack the Militia.
Cancer, Muron, be ready to assist them.
There we are, the circuit is now connected.
We'll leave at the next opening window, correct?
Yes, however...
These are the communications between the Gendarme and the station's staff.
We can intercept their radio transmissions?
Actually, it seems that Lieutenant Harry has directly connected us with them.
The people from the Control Room intend to capture the Willgem.
Lieutenant Yanni...
Yes, Colonel?
We'll begin our plan to destroy the docking arms which are holding the Willgem in place.
The docking arms?
Have the technicians tell you how the arms are constructed.
Send out two Borjarnons.
Miss Miashei, do we have any more airtight suits for our Miss Kihel or Dianna?
Thank you for your concern.
It's not a problem.
Here, wear this.
Thank you.
Miss Fran, do you know anything about this Zacktraeger?
- No, I don't know anything about it. - Will we be launching any of the Armadillos?
The people of earth are very brave.
Miss Kihel Heim?
You know who I am?
You've made it this far, so keep up the good performance.
For everyone...
Of course. It's better if we let everyone believe you're her, isn't it?
It's all for the Willgem's sake.
Thank you, Miss Fran Doll...
The WaDoms are approaching!
Loran, Sochie, the WaDoms are approaching us!
Please, be careful!
Are you hearing me?
Are the Mechanical Dolls coming?
It seems as though there are more rails for the linear motor over there.
And what about the Control Room?
I'm more worried about the WaDom's actions at the moment.
Even Lieutenant Harry told us that we should try to prevent them from causing trouble.
They're coming.
There seem to be two Mobile Suits approaching.
Scarecrows!
It looks like they have good mobility in space as well!
Despite being part of the Moonrace, you never knew that?
I'm sorry, but I didn't.
I am Lieutenant Harry Ord of the Royal Guard.
Regardless of what the Gendarme may have said, the Militia's spacecraft is to approach the moon as well.
Please release the docking arms when the launch window comes.
We did not receive any such orders!
Even up here, there are scarecrows...
Well, they arrived from the moon, so it's to be expected.
This is an order from a Royal Guard's SUMO!
We do not have to follow such orders!
It's almost comforting to see such a familiar sight here.
Lady Lily?
Please, allow me to use the microphone.
What do you intend to do?
As Dianna, I shall issue orders to the soldiers stationed here.
Can you do it?
I'm not sure what orders they're currently under, however, I'll try doing what I can.
Mr. Jacop, the microphone!
What is this?
We will be departing momentarily.
In order to avoid taking damage in an attack against the Militia...
The WaDoms were sent in to keep them occupied.
And then what?
An attack on the Willgem can't begin while it's still here!
The Zacktraeger was originally a sacred sanctuary that even Dianna Counter wasn't given access too.
Microphone.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
All forces who are currently stationed here on the Zacktraeger, I am Dianna Soriel!
I am now using the Militia's spacecraft...
And am leading these people away from earth to conduct peace negotiations.
Queen Dianna?
- Regardless of whatever orders that the soldiers of Zacktraeger may be under...
- The one on the Gendarme, as well?
In order to ensure that the Gendarme remains unharmed, and that the Willgem's trip to the moon isn't prevented...
Nothing must be allowed to disturb the sanctity of the Zacktraeger.
A battle here is not permitted.
The Militia is using your imposter.
What should I do?
That is an insult to the name of Dianna Soriel!
I see.
This is Dianna Soriel's order to the Zacktraeger's forces...
The Gendarme will now launch from the Zacktraeger as scheduled.
If there is any attack from the Militia against the Gendarme as it leaves, your Mobile Suit troops are allowed to return fire as necessary.
However, if no such attack is made by the Militia, any combat here is forbidden.
This is the notification of our terms to the Militia from Dianna Counter's Commander.
So long as this is understood, there we can overlook the sins of the soldiers stationed in this location.
- We're ready to proceed. - Go ahead.
Amazing.
From Dianna Soriel To Dianna Soriel.
From Kihel Heim to Kihel Heim.
Let us meet once again.
It's going to hit!
I couldn't reclaim you from Midgard's clutches!
Queen Dianna is leaving!
This is a space ship?
We pray you have a safe Journey, Queen Dianna Soriel!
I will leave the Zacktraeger's maintenance in your hands.
The Militia's men have a difficult time adapting to space.
After they take Lady Kihel hostage...
...they threaten to force Willgem to return to earth.
Will Lieutenant Harry's help be able to prevent this coup d'etat?
Next time... on TURN A GUNDAM...
The Militia's Decisive Space Battle
The wind rages in space.
