Despite the outbreak of a minor Militia rebellion, the incident never grew into an all out coup d'etat.
Even so, to put an end to the rebellion...
I had to put my own life at risk and head into battle.
However, since the incident didn't end up causing anyone harm...
...I have decided to keep my personal mission a secret.
Gateway To The Moon
So, this got jammed here in the attack made by Harry's Gold Type SUMO...
Did you get it yet, sis?
What are you...!
Captain! Lock down the wire!
I know that!
What's this sound I'm hearing?
You're sending your people to rendezvous with us?
It must be a direct-line communication.
Are you saying you intend to assassinate Queen Dianna?
Assassinate Queen Dianna!?
Does this mean even Midgard has plans for something like that?
Such things must not be muttered so carelessly.
That may simply be one option that's open to us.
You might say that we of the Ghingnham lineage are tasked with bringing dishonor to the Soriel family.
Such is the ultimate destiny of my family, as soldiers of the Moonrace for generation upon generation.
My fleet will arrive at the rendezvous point shortly. Do not be late.
That won't be a problem. However, the Militia's ship is also trailing closely behind us.
Once the Queen is in my custody...
You will act as a decoy and lure the enemy.
As a decoy?
It's a feint on our part.
Your ship will not be destroyed.
Is there no way for me to defy a noble's orders?
I suppose a military officer acting as a spy like myself can't hope for such.
Muron, there's trouble! We have a problem here!
Just hold on a moment, sis.
That bastard, Midgard, has betrayed us. He can't be trusted!
What are you talking about?
He's about to sell out Queen Dianna!
Sold her out? Why!?
Your majesty, please flee this place and escape with us!
What has happened?
Majesty, you're currently in grave danger, but right now I don't have time to explain.
...and the channel has been opened.
Thank you.
Not at all. Thanks for sharing the frequencies with us.
You sure you're okay with this?
Mr. "Red Glasses" might have plans of his own, you know.
That's true. He's known to be quite the independent thinker.
Could it be, Sir Guin, that you believe, just as Harry has said, that Queen Dianna was kidnapped?
The more a dog loves his master, the more likely he is to bite a threatening man's hand.
In that case, allow me to act as a spy for you again!
I give up.
Only you, Lady Lily, could view outer space as her own personal garden.
But, when you sit back and think about being out here in a place so vast and infinite, how can it not make you excited?
If you ask me, those who get sick from being out here in space must be crazy!
Is that up or down? Decide!
Lieutenant, isn't there some way for us to reduce these feelings of dizziness!?
Will you let that beat you when the enemy shows his face?
Use your willpower and deal with it!
Just remember that we are also closing in on the enemy base. Don't be so weak-willed!
Loran has said that once we arrive on the moon, there will be some gravity.
You handling this nicely, Miner.
I'm pretty sure that I could get used to a lifestyle like this!
I'm jealous.
You build planes, floating in the sky should be your specialty!
Flying is a vastly different thing from floating!
Crikey...
To feel wind blowing in my face again...
...The wind would feel wonderful!
These places without air or gravity are a pain!
Is the Red Team running away?
There it is.
I've had enough of space!
I'll get you to return me to Earth!
Here they come...
Catch!
Firing inside a spaceship is such an idiotic thing to do!
Muron, I have the shuttle now.
- The shuttle! - The Shuttle?
They've taken the shuttle!
You mean the escape shuttle?
I knew it. They're moonrace, yet they're being weighed down by the earth's gravity!
Being in space must have frightened them.
Ready our mobile suits for pursuit.
There's no need to chase them.
If that's the way they are in space, let them turn into mummified corpses and rot.
- Commander Midgard! - What is it?
Ghingnham's ship has arrived at the rendezvous on schedule. They're asking us to hurry!
It's time for me to make sure Queen Dianna's ready.
You there, men! You as well! We're going to do the exercise once more!
If the Willgem proceeds any further, we'll then be too close to the moon.
So we have to dispose of them here.
I never guessed it'd be this much trouble to dispose a single bomb.
But seeing as how it's a nuclear bomb...
I would ideally like to detonate it somewhere where it won't cause anyone trouble.
It seems like anything that comes from the Dark History always has trouble attached to it.
Then what excuse do we use to get permission for the White Doll to head outside?
You're from the Moonrace, so you think of something!
Milady, how long did you know about that?
After seeing everything you've done in space, It's obvious.
I've always known that something was odd ever since I saw your first meeting with Keith in front of that Museum.
Is that so?
So, then this expedition...
...is just a trip back home for you?
I guess so. But, what I'd personally like to do is write a book...
...about the journey you're all taking to reach the moon.
I really don't know yet, what will happen to us in the end.
But I'd love to see you publish that title back on earth if we make it.
I agree. Please do!
I would like that a lot...
But since I'm also on this battleship, no-one knows if I'll even survive long enough to get that chance.
How many times must we go over this before you get it!?
They've both changed quite a bit.
Captain Loran, This is no time to be lounging about!
I'm the Captain of the Gallop!
That's right!
Now isn't the time for this!
(Translator's note: Muron literally referred to the "Yadorigi" which is the Japanese name for "Mistletoe")
What is it?
We've intercepted a transmission from Queen Dianna.
A transmission from Dianna? How did we get that?
Please come up to the bridge. - Okay!
Your Majesty!
Please, it was all circumstantial, so forgive our rudeness!
If I had continued to let Midgard mislead me, I... I wouldn't be able to complete my objectives.
I'm grateful for this!
No way... we're unworthy of such praise!
Hey sis!
Queen Dianna has given us a fantastic idea!
There's an artificial satellite called "Mistletoe" nearby.
I would like for you to take me there.
"Mistletoe", you say?
Like the plant, yadorigi?
It's a small asteroid colony once used for agricultural experimentation in a past age.
You mean such a place actually exists?
Naturally. And also...
Yes?
This music, please transmit it to the Militia's ship for me.
Y-Yes!
It's a classical sounding melody.
Is that so?
Is my decoding solution not working?
No, it's fine. Let's play it back.
Right. Please do.
Wow, amazing!
What sort of map is this?
It's a chart depicting the space between the earth and moon.
That spot is closer to the moon.
- This thing is a map? - That's right.
Alright... So, judging from this chart...
We should be looking for AC number D-02-3.
It's Mistletoe!
That's kinda weird.
What is it?
It's an abandoned Asteroid Colony.
It's on the edge of the safe-zone where I can dispose of these nuclear bombs.
Queen Dianna must be hiding in that colony.
How can you be sure of that?
Currently, there isn't anybody living in that Colony, nor is there anybody who'd be monitoring it.
So we need to go to this "Mistletoe" place, Lieutenant?
Correct.
Dianna's garden, "Mistletoe", is it?
Oh, Soul of the moon...!
Reside within! Reside within! Reside within! Our Home... Reside within!
Reside within! Reside within! Reside within!
The true Queen of the moon!
We're going back to the moon with the Queen!
It's gonna be tough...
If we have enough energy, we can open the hatch.
Cancer, if you check the upper left corner, there should be a Mobile Suit "key lock".
I've found it, but it won't move.
Stay right there.
I'll try to activate the dock from out here.
Excellent! It seems like it's working!
Wow! Our Queen's like a magician!
That's the port's airlock, right?
I'm going to close off the hatch.
Long ago, when the majority of the Moonrace was still in suspended animation...
The Soriel Family was attempting to run their own agricultural experiments to expand our air and food supplies.
Can I open the inner hatch?
Yes. There should be enough air.
Right.
This... is a forest, isn't it!?
Wow! This is incredible!
The two of you should take this shuttle and use it to return to the earth, where there are real forests and oceans.
What are you trying to say, Your Majesty?
If we were to do that, everything we've done thus far would be for nothing!
If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have been able to make it here, but if you reach the moon now, it could prove dangerous.
You can't be sure the Militia will even receive to the message you sent them!
My hopes are that your children will someday blend in with the terrans.
Please see that it happens, Cancer, Muron.
Please don't say something so cruel, Your Majesty!
You let Dianna escape, after the trouble we went though to bring her here. Is that what you're saying?
That is so. We were pursued by Members of Earth wielding technology from the Dark History...
...And after that, we were also betrayed by Lieutenant Harry.
Oh my...
Lord Gym Ghingnham!
Well, I suppose that girl is the Moon's Queen after all.
Given that, I shouldn't be surprised by her fooling someone of such low birth.
Are you suggesting that Queen Dianna may have already returned to the moon?
What is this music?
It's the song the Soriel family once used for encrypting transmissions.
Queen Dianna is hiding in an abandoned colony.
What?
First Team, form an attack position.
Second team, form a defense position.
We're setting off for the asteroid colony, Mistletoe! - Sir!
Allow me to show you the difference between a 2500 year old noble military family...
...and some worthless civilian recruited militia!
Hold your position. Stay where you are for now, Merrybell.
Wh... What in the world are you doing, Mahiroo squad!?
For someone of such low birth...
...you should be honored to be in the presence of our Mahiroo!
That voice must have been Sweatson Sutero.
He's little more than a blemish who rides on his family's name...
With your abilities...
That shuttle should be able to handle reentry into the earth's atmosphere. Therefore...
The sole reason for our living on earth was to help and serve our Queen!
If you understand that, then you cannot turn us away!
Sir Muron, Lady Cancer...
Please, you don't need to mention our titles!
If you're destined to die here, then we're ready to share your fate by your side.
Thank you...
I expected the Lieutenant wanted to get her back on his own...
This mission is about saving the Queen of our enemy.
In that case, it should've been left to that "Red Glasses" guy.
Sir Guin believes that if we left that task to Lieutenant Harry alone...
...it could undermine our position in the upcoming negotiations.
Do you think Sochie can handle it?
Back at the Zacktraeger, Loran gave Sochie a bit of training.
Is the moon truly under the control of Agrippa Maintainer?
This is why we will require your power...
...Lady Kihel Heim.
If I were to pose as Dianna, will I really be of assistance?
Yes.
I see. In that case, I will become another Dianna.
Lieutenant Harry has plans of his own.
Hey Loran, can't we dispose of the nuclear bombs here? There's nothing around.
That won't do. It's too near to the ship's course.
Let's focus on saving Queen Dianna first.
I see it!
This is it! Mistletoe!
Queen Dianna's star.
What sort of star is this supposed to be?
Aren't stars supposed to shine and twinkle?
Oh, this is definitely one of the stars.
This block has completely died off.
The Nano Machines must have died.
I've found it, Queen Dianna!
See that? It's there... Center Control.
Right, Right! Then, let's head there!
You really want us to go there?
I would like to activate the equipment here.
So that way, we'd have soil, sunlight, and water!
After Dianna's authority is restored...
I will return to being what I was before... The daughter of a mine owner, running a mine in the mountains.
Yes.
I can be happy in that life...
...but it will also feel rather lonely. - You mean Empty?
That's not it. I'm really not like Dianna...
After you.
I've discovered, Dianna never runs from her responsibility, no matter what pressure or stress she may be under.
That is why she's so beautiful.
Your ability to say such things proves that you are just as beautiful.
It is because you are so pure of thought...
That I must now betray you.
Harry?
Do as you will.
Lieutenant! You bastard...!
Forgive me!
Has the Lieutenant become our enemy?
There is no other choice, but this is for the good of Queen Dianna!
I was wrong to trust you, Harry Ord.
You are nothing but the Queen's lap dog!
So what if I am!?
Sir Guin!
Is the Lieutenant setting out to help Dianna come aboard as well?
He has Miss Kihel with him, doesn't he?
Stay back!
What's the matter, Lieutenant?
Sir, the Lieutenant...
Sir Harry has taken Kihel!
Go after him!
That red glasses wearing jerk!
Has he betrayed us?
Everyone, stop him from leaving!
The Hanger is opening.
Is it the Militia soldiers again?
Please, contact and inform the White Mustache...
Lieutenant Harry has...
What's wrong?
It's the SUMO that launched.
Mr. "Red Glasses" also went out to bring back the Queen?
No...
He wishes to use Kihel in her place instead!
What is this!?
Dianna Counter's Mobile Suits!?
Was the intercepted transmission a trap?
That's not possible!
Is that the mustached unit the Militia soldiers excavated from the Earth?
It appears one of them's the infamous Devil mobile suit responsible for oppressing the space colonists.
This is not a drill.
I repeat, this is not a drill.
- We'll use this formation to wipe him out! - Yes Sir!
What should we do, Loran?
These mobile suits are not part of the Dianna Counter.
Lady Kihel is used as Lieutenant Harry's shield...
....with the intention of preventing Gym Ghingnham's ambitions.
Meanwhile, I am surprised to find myself set upon by Ghingnham's bizarre Mobile Suit forces.
Next Time... on TURN A GUNDAM... Battle God Ghingnham
"The winds of war are blowing!"
Battle God Ghingnham
