Even though I am of the Moonrace, I was overwhelmed by the massive facility known as the Zacktraeger.
The Dianna Counter Army was also stationed there, and they nearly entered into a battle against the Willgem.
Fortunately, Queen Dianna and Lady Kihel's quick thinking...
...allowed the Willgem to safely depart the facility.
The Militia's Decisive Space Battle
Does that camera work out here?
That's what I'm testing.
If I need to, I'll use the camera which the soldiers at Zacktraeger gave me.
Is that so?
Are there any newspapers on the moon who'd be interested in buying your photos?
If there aren't any newspapers...
...there are other collectors, or the people on the Daily net who'll pay a decent amount.
After all, it's proof that we were able to make this artifact fly.
Miss Fran Doll...
Do you believe the rumors that suggest my sister was on the Soleil, posing as Dianna?
I can't help but believe them.
My sister is the sort of person who always wanted to learn through her actions and experiences, that's why she never attended college.
Aren't you the same way, Sochie?
During this war, you learned to pilot a mobile suit, and even now you're learning how to move in zero-g.
I guess so.
Aren't you coming too, Fran?
I'd like to take a few more shots.
Loran... - Yes?
Hey, when will we toss out the things in the chest?
This isn't the proper time yet.
I'd rather wait and do it when we're even further from the Earth.
You mean because of their poison?
Exactly.
Is this where you were?
That's dangerous!
Oops...!
Milady Kihel!
Watch out, sis!
Please, be more careful until you're a bit more used to moving in zero gravity.
Out of my way!
Zero Gravity makes it very difficult to move about...
But it's also kind of fun.
If we were still children, we'd almost certainly be playing "Wolf and Sheep"
Then let's do it anyway!
Okay, but Loran is the Wolf!
Right. Loran...
Not me!
My sister and myself are the sheep. Come and get us!
Over here, Mr. Wolf!
So, I guess that makes me the Wolf?
My gosh...
Get away!
I'm right here, what are you doing?
I never thought it'd be so hard to stop moving when you're weightless...
Is there some sort of problem?
It's just that you're upside down.
You're the one who's upside down!
Is this what the moon is like?
Then why are we heading to a place like that?
We should go force that noble brat to turn the ship back towards earth.
However, now that this ship is on course for the moon, redirecting it would prove rather difficult.
How are you holding up?
What are you doing up there on the ceiling?
How about you, Ladderum? Is all the dizziness giving you nosebleeds?
Oh, this is just a leek.
It's a traditional Moonrace remedy to help reduce space sickness. Mr. Harry showed it to me.
How's that?
Now the only pain I feel's in the spot where my hair's being pulled...
This is the easiest way to cure a headache here in space.
Is that better?
Some things work, and some things don't...
How long do you think it's been since we've played Sheep and Wolf?
Three or four years, perhaps.
Marsha was still working for us at the time.
Has it really?
It feels like it's been much longer than that.
Well, it does seem like everything that happened to us before the war ever began was a very long time ago.
You should have your hair cut, you know.
No.
All it'll do is get in everyone's way!
What is it?
If I use some of Queen Dianna's hair gel, my hair becomes perfectly manageable.
I doubt she gave it to you. You probably just swiped some on your own.
It's alright.
I hereby decree that Sochie of the Earth is allowed to use it!
Why are you acting like a Queen out here?
What happened?
- Get moving! - It looks like we're trapped!
What're you up to?
There's a lot of data that needs to be input.
I was referring to the fact that you're sitting on the ceiling!
Actually, you guys are the ones who're upside down.
My masters are taking a shower in there, so I'm staying here to make sure nothing happens.
Alright, I get it. Hey, space yourselves out up there!
It's tickling my feet...
There's a device here which siphons the water out from the floor drains.
Can't we stop it from tickling my feet?
When we return to the earth, you're going to have to complete the Coming of Age Ceremony.
But this time, I won't be in Nocis city.
Loran mentioned that you never completed the holy markings ceremony.
That's right... so perhaps we'll do it all over again?
Somehow, it seems like the White Doll has continually become more efficient, doesn't it.
L.. Ladies!
I'm coming in!
Stopped it.
You two alright?
Can you breathe?
Is this it?
This hair got clogged in the drain,
Lady Kihe..
I'm terribly sorry!
Forgive my rudeness!
I didn't mean to look at Lady Kihel's rear!
Moron!
It's not good... how can I return to the earth now?
Thank you, Loran. You saved us.
Umm... You guys can breathe now, right?
Thanks for the help.
Isn't that funny?
This time, Loran's the one who dived in the water and saved us. Right?
Oh, it was nothing.
I'll watch it more carefully next time.
Loran... Thank you.
Despite us being in space, it feels more like old times now.
I guess that takes care of that.
Everything is so irritating in space...
The fact that I can't open a window up here makes me wanna scream!
You've gotta drink like some sort of baby up here...
Hey, look at that!
What, are you a goldfish now?
Oh Lord.... We're not a bunch of fishes!
The sake barrel?
Even the sake barrel's gettin' wasted!
Get that sake barrel down here!
Ya know, back in the old days, I rode a barrel like this from Sunset Valve...
...and floated down the river to reach Nocis!
Yeah, I did it too, baby!
But we don't got no rivers up here, Sir!
I'll just ride n' this barrel and coast along that dang gravity thing til I go woosh and smash into earth.
The wood on this here barrel's over a hundred years old. I betcha won't last half a day!
Alright, Get that top on tight!
How's he gonna get out when he gets there?
It'll simply break down when he passes through the atmosphere.
I'll be the next one who goes...!
No, Imma goin' next!
The Militia's people are still drinking...
They're getting drunk even quicker while they're space sick.
Things would be so much easier if Mr. Horace were here...
Where are you going with that?
We're just throwin' it outside!
It'll be a good capsule for people, don't you think?
What are you doing in there?
The Inglessa men say they want to float home in a sake barrel.
That's absurd!
- Is there a problem? - Have you always been this stupid?
- The people capsule's all done! - Best of luck to you!
This is the best idea ever!
Ahh, crikey... it's cold...
How do I close the glass cover?
My eyes hurt!
Hey, somebody help me!
The target is way too small!
Injecting the Oxygen...
Life readings...
Good...
...Thank Goodness.
Honestly now, these Terrans are too much to handle...
One could say that the Militia's men are rather brave, at least...
But their goals may be a bit questionable.
Not really. What the Moonrace calls stupidity is the same as what they call blind courage!
I suppose such fearless ambition is what will allow us to advance.
That's simply the way adults are, isn't it?
Anybody on the bridge must take a seat! Including you, Lady Lily!
My! How Scary...
We can't do work that's worthy of our pay if you amateurs keep getting in our way!
Yeah, yeah.
My face is frozen... please, be gentle...
Your face appears to have been burned. It could be frostbite, you know.
You've gotten really good at this, Sis.
After all of your work in the field hospital, you must've had a lot of practice.
The hospital?
I heard it was actually Lady Lily who volunteered you to do that work.
I never imagined that Queen Dianna had to endure that...
Hold on, was that person Dianna, then?
It's the sort of thing Lady Lily Borjarno would do, coming from the background that she does...
How is he doing?
He's already doing better.
I'm going to go and service the Mechanical Dolls.
Go on ahead, then.
- Lady Kihel... - Yes?
The Lieutenant would like to have a word with you.
Oh?
Colonel Michael, Open this door, and we can negotiate!
Colonel Michael, please open up!
The problem, Colonel, is that there's more to a journey between the Earth and the Moon than switching a few thrusters.
You must also factor in the gravitational pull of all of the other celestial bodies!
Don't bother lecturing me.
Return the Willgem to the Earth.
Forgive us.
How could you use Kihel as a hostage?
And who are you trying to deceive?
All of us understand that the girl here is in fact Dianna Soriel.
Sir Guin, there would be no reason...
For someone such as yourself to transport a temporary secretary all the way to the moon!
Is my sister going to be alright?
The Colonel isn't a reckless person. She'll be fine.
I guess I've underestimated the effects of space. When we left our homeground behind...
...even our normally steady tempered Colonel began to panic.
Does that mean we're going back?
We can't so something so foolish!
As long as the moon remains such distant threat, it would be impossible to stop the battle with Dianna Counter.
That is why we must continue on this course.
Impressive, Sir Guin.
You're truly our brave and heroic leader.
Colonel Michael! Colonel Michael!
What is it?
Wouldn't you agree that I would personally...
Make a much better hostage for your objective than Lady Kihel would?
Hey, why can't we use White Doll to break inside there?
That won't work.
The area outside of the ship is an almost total vacuum...
With a temperature difference of over 400 degrees.
Is this some sort of coup d'etat?
Well, that's not quite it.
If you are unable to battle them face to face, then a better answer may be to cleanse their air.
Cleanse their air?
However, don't you agree that Sir Guin is correct?
It's imperative that we reach the moon in order to negotiate with them.
Flying directly into enemy territory with just one ship is far too rash.
Then, if you believe me to be Queen Dianna, the moon is also my homeland.
Put your worries aside and trust me.
And otherwise, if I am actually Kihel Heim, then I'm useless to use as a hostage anyhow.
Either way, what you're attempting to do now is all in vain.
What is this?
Hey, Bruno and Jacop!
The air's being drained out!
How?
Bruno, do you know the cause?
It's being controlled from outside!
Guin Rhineford, Don't you realize Dianna Soriel is in here!?
Colonel, we already told you she's Miss Kihel Heim.
Will he fall for it?
Even if he does, he may shoot her if he gets upset.
And will you be ready to take responsibility for that, Sir Guin?
He can't afford to do a thing like that.
That's exactly right.
Shh... I'm hearing movement inside there...
Do they have an animal on the bridge or something?
Will that be alright?
They only brought the girl with them...
Are you unharmed?
Is that Lieutenant Harry's doing?
Thank goodness!
Please, tell them that such acts of resistance won't help anything.
Jacop, Bruno...
Is our flight still on course?
I don't think they harmed anything.
Our flight-path hasn't been altered.
Take the mechanical dolls!
Forget about Mustache and the Gold Type...
...but take the Kapool and Borjarnon! We can use those.
A Kapool can hold seven or eight of us!
These guys want to take our Borjarnon!?
Don't worry about them.
How could you say that?
They don't know even know how to control them!
We'll view this as a test of their space capabilities.
Lieutenant, what are you doing?
Alright, that takes care of that. Four or five people can join me in this one!
There's room for one more here!
Colonel, we're much too far from the earth for you to possibly reach there on your own!
You won't be able to make it!
It's no more risky than your plans of driving a lone spacecraft directly into the enemy territory!
And Earth is still in plain sight from here, just as Mount Ark's in plain sight from Vicinity!
I know that much...
But please realize that's because of how massive the earth itself is!
If Ameria's about the size of my palm now, then...
We're not like you! We're Earth's native people!
Earthlings were meant to live on Earth! That's what makes us Earthlings!
We've had enough of space!
We have no intention of being dragged to the moon!
Colonel, you must reconsider!
If you don't open the shutter on your own, we'll be forced to blow it open for you!
If you wreck that thing, I'll hunt you like a dog!
Close shutter number three!
What can we do, Loran?
They are overloaded by a factor of five!
And when you consider how aggressive those men were acting...
They'll run through their oxygen even faster.
- Is that true? - It is.
That's not the main problem...
There!
It's so close that I could reach out and touch it!
The real earth looks beautiful without all those names and numbers written on it!
Yeah, that's right.
- You'll be launching? - Yes.
What should be done now?
Well, we already cleansed their air, so I guess we just wait now.
This isn't a joke!
And what about our Borjarnons!?
We cleansed their air, so we'll let them go.
Based on the way you were acting...
I thought you were going to help us reclaim the Borjarnons!
Right now, the most important thing is that we make it clear that acts of mutiny are a useless gesture.
Then what about Michael and the rest?
Traditionally they would have been executed. This spares us that task.
Executed?
Is mutiny not a capital offense?
That's terrible. You're oversimplifying the matter too much.
I'm also against it.
What are you planning?
Loran!
Just be sure to bring back the Borjarnons!
That's my intent!
As I thought, it's completely different from the sake barrel.
With this, we'll have no trouble getting back to earth!
We also have food in the container.
Are we being followed?
Is it the Mustache?
All of you, give me space! Don't get in the way of the pilot!
Colonel, please return now!
If you don't, you'll be executed!
What's that? Execution?
Please, wait! We can still talk about it!
That was our warning shot.
If you don't go back now, the next volley will hit the target!
I will not turn back alone. I intend to take you all back with me.
Really? That's quite a shame, then.
Your negotiations have failed, Moonrace!
Is this the way to use those mobile suits?
- You did it! - Just as we'd expect from the lieutenant!
Amazing!
If I had been expecting this, I would've brought my shield!
The Militia's pride seems to be giving them an edge over the White Doll here in space.
Laura is a gentle person.
Because they're his comrades, he's confused and unsure of what he should do.
However, things can't continue like this.
Loran, you absolutely MUST be careful as long as you still have that bomb with you!
You should have the advantage in a space fight... because you're part of the Moonrace.
Is that all?
If you cause the nuclear bombs to detonate, Colonel, then the Willgem and everyone else will be killed!
This will do it!
DON'T DO IT!
That was a bit risky, Loran.
Harry!
What did you do?
Oh, nothing.
I suspect they may be suffering from oxygen deprivation since there are so many of them crammed in those cockpits.
My head... it hurts...
She wants to take a photo to commemorate the occasion.
That sounds like a good idea, doesn't it?
Sir Guin?
Well, I'm not going to enforce capital punishment on them.
Well, which one do you think she is?
The one who just left this room?
Yes. Is it Miss Kihel, or Queen Dianna?
I don't really know for sure.
Alright! Now everyone, please look at the camera!
Okay, Let's do it. Peace!
PEACE!
Ahh, there we go.
Colonel, is anything wrong?
No...
Ahh, that's a photo of your family.
I will...
I will... Nina... Matthew...
Your father will most definitely return home to you.
We receive word that Queen Dianna has escaped to the artificial satellite, Mistletoe.
And so myself and Lady Sochie set off to rescue her.
However, the squad led by the Samurai of the Moon, Gym Ghingnham, also arrives...
...with the Mahiroo Mobile Suits.
Next time... on TURN A GUNDAM... "Gateway To The Moon"
"The wind trembles."
Gateway To The Moon
