Before I was able to receive an order from Queen Dianna, I was summoned to meet up with Guin Rhineford.
Sir Guin allied himself with Gym Ghingnham in order to carry out his plans for returning to earth.
Furthermore, he intended to leave Lady Lily Borjarno stranded on the moon.
l ended up ejecting from the White Doll after having a difficult confrontation with the Turn X.
It reached the point where I barely made it out with my life.
Again, To the Earth.
Honestly... What could those adults possibly have been thinking!?
Still, if I hadn't checked up on more of the White Doll's various functions...
...I never would've been able to escape.
Gym Ghingnham and Guin Rhineford...
Bruno, there should be a 'boat' that Gym Ghingnham rode to get here. Wanna swipe it and use it to return to the moon?
We'll be dead meat if they discover us, you know.
You can reach us on the 'Incom' if you need anything.
Right!
You two looking for the bathroom?
We were just going to do a ship inspection...
Since we've already finished the navigation settings.
Is that so?
I guess you two do know the ship better than anyone else.
That's right!
We also wanted to get a glance at the Turn X. We were never even thinking about trying to return to the moon...
Idiot!
I already heard the two of you talking about how you wanted to become part of Queen Dianna's Royal Guard.
Get back in there, and do your jobs!
We're sorry!
We've confirmed your info matches the White Palace's data.
Now, for your final confirmation, what is your date of birth?
December 2nd of the year 2328.
Your photo identification checks out.
Open up the air lock!
Sheesh...
There are some important matters which I must report to Queen Dianna and her bodyguards at once!
Notify the Queen!
Tell her that this young man has returned!
Pass on the message that the young man is back!
Oh? So you're telling me that the White Doll's cockpit detached itself and fled?
Heh, this was a rather amusing discovery.
That one's a SUMO cockpit.
This shows that the humans in the Dark History were thinking along the same line as humans like us.
Then the White Doll, no, the Turn A can still be used?
It's technical abilities should still function at the same level.
Which means... we should be seeing a rather bright future open up to us before our very eyes, isn't that right?
Correct. Just think, all our technicians had to do was exchange one simple cockpit, and that allows us to control the mighty Turn A.
And even the Mustache is regenerating.
Yes. It's quite efficient. It functions just like a human body would.
One with a much more cooperative personality. - That's right.
So they took the Turn A, and are now returning to the earth with the Ghingnham battle fleet, correct?
They also had intended to take me back with them.
This is a complete and total betrayal!
They didn't even bother to tell us, and then ally with Ghingnham and turn on a course back toward the earth!
I wonder what could be wrong with the normally calm and composed Sir Guin?
I too felt like Sir Guin has changed to some person that I don't even know...
Seems like all he cared about was stealing the moon's technology!
If that was the case...
He could have bribed someone within Dianna Counter.
In this case, he's focusing on the best way to suppress those below him to gain his role as ruler.
It was for that reason that Guin also desired to begin industrialization.
That in and of itself isn't necessarily wrong.
However, I believe that he's now dedicated to his new goal.
Aren't you angry that he left you behind!?
I am the daughter of a politician, after all. I don't have the time to sit around and reside in anger.
Right now, our most important objective is to make sure the Turn A doesn't stay in the hands of the enemy, right?
Yes, that is correct. But how are we supposed to retrieve it?
We currently don't have any ship which we can use to pursue them!
We simply have to chase them and recover it.
Chase them? But how?
Have you let your old age cause you to forget where you currently are?
This place is my homeland!
That's right, Queen Dianna.
Still, isn't this a lot to ask?
I don't plan to rest while so much still must be done.
I remember this road!
I used to come here with Hamet and the other people from the Canal!
Really?
You're acting strange, Loran.
What's so strange?
Turn A was stolen from you, and yet you're still acting so cheerful!
Queen Dianna is here on this truck with you to help us...
You aren't like Guin, planning some sort of deception, are you?
Until now, Loran has only been bound by the weight of the White Doll.
Now he's free of that burden.
Is that the way you feel about it?
Don't you think it was a lot of pressure?
No, I don't think so.
Right now, Loran is the same as when we first met him.
This is the real him.
What's with all of you?
You haven't said anything since we began to move.
Have we upset you in any way?
This all feels so foreboding.
Foreboding?
That's right.
Ghingnham has made his move too quickly.
Because of that, we had to increase security around the Genganam port.
You mean Ghingnham's remnants have closed off the port at Genganam?
A television vehicle?
Fran!
I would like to speak with Queen Dianna.
Miss Fran Doll, are you currently working for this television station?
Yes. That's right, but...
The port has become a dangerous place.
What's going on? Has another riot started?
Apparently! The people who've been supporting Queen Dianna...
...were attacked by the Ghingnham forces.
Attacked?
A riot?
Oh wow, so is this where we heard all those noises coming from?
This destruction was caused by the Ghingnham army's mobile suits!
Ghingnham's forces?
What in the world is going on!?
That damned Gym...
...he didn't even spare Queen Dianna's private port.
Get these civilians out of here! It's dangerous!
That's... those two people from the Suicide Squadron!?
This boat's also no good...
How are we going to get back to the earth?
John! Ames... Watch yourselves!
Lieutenant Harry?
A... are you okay?
Somehow, I am.
My my, what a mess!
What's going to happen to the port?
It was such a pretty little port...
If they want to go back to earth, why did they have to do this?
- To everyone who is currently at the port, please heed what I have to say!
- Queen Dianna!
Will she be coming back? - Gym Ghingnham's fleet has fled for earth...
- She could be... - ...and now, because of this...
- ...we were unable to prevent their terrorist like actions.
- I, Dianna Soriel, wish to guarantee to you something.
- First, I must apologize for this decision.
- I must ask you to permit me to return to the Earth once more.
- I neither intend to abandon you, nor do I wish to sell the moon out to the Earth.
- Have they arrived yet?
- Lieutenant, they're still in the process of transporting that cockpit.
- Can it be repaired?
- It is my responsibility as the Queen of the Moonrace, to hold Gym Ghingnham responsible for his actions.
- What's that?
- Only after this, will the Terrans understand that we too have a right to live on earth.
- It is for this reason, that I must return to the war on earth one final time.
I thought all of the craft had been destroyed?
So now Queen Dianna is going to defeat Gym Ghingnham...
What? Do you support Gym Ghingnham or something?
That's not what I said!
Then we'll just have to find another ship to use.
That lady...
Ms. Dona, Hamet! Cent!
I have no idea what Gym Ghingnham has been planning.
Perhaps I'm no longer qualified to lead the Moonrace.
No. The hearts of the people are behind you, Queen Dianna.
If there hadn't been riots, there would be no agitation.
They are all waiting to see what you, Queen Dianna, now intend to do.
I await the unified future of the earth and the moon.
Lieutenant Harry!
Her majesty is here. Submit your report.
Yes! We've found a vessel that can take us to the Earth...
...But it will require a large amount of repair!
Understood. In that case, make it so.
Have you found a ship?
Yes. The victor hasn't been decided yet!
Will we be able to return to Earth?
Now we can begin our pursuit!
The Royal Guard truly is amazing.
It's nothing.
The Royal Guard has found an extra ship? It shouldn't be flyable!
The Royal Guards have also begun requesting for technicians.
What's the big deal here?
If we had've been ordered to blast that one, it would've happened.
Then, do you think you can handle it, Kashimu?
The Royal Guards' SUMOs have also gathered there, but..
We just need to keep the ship from leaving.
We can take care of that.
Just don't use the Mahiroo!
Understood.
This is what we'll use. The Zssan Team should be ready to go.
It's just like I said!
If we use these Zssan units, we'll wipe them out in a single shot! How are they, Galis?
They've never been used in combat before, but they should be usable.
We'll take these units to earth as well.
Well, we'll decide that once I give them a test run.
Members of the Ghingnham team, we'll be launching a standard formation assault, got it?
We'll try not to overdo it with the missiles.
We'll be fighting underground, so do what you can to keep those SUMOs busy.
It moves more easily than the Borjarnon...
If even their civilians use advanced units like these...
We won't be able to win this war.
In that case, we should try and take a few of them back with us.
Move that cargo!
Looks like Flyboy's getting angry.
Listen to what the technician at the left hatch says, and get those installed!
These soldiers here can't all be from the Royal Guard, can they?
Most of them are civilian volunteers.
They've come here for Queen Dianna's sake.
Naturally! The House of Ghingnham betrayed us and fled for Earth!
We'll help you fix up your ship so you can nab that bastard!
- Don't get in my way. - Ahh, I'm terribly sorry!
What are they doing over there?
Once you've finished that undercoating, we'll put on the detail, Donna, Cent.
Eh? What sort of marking are you putting on it?
Queen Dianna asked us to design a suitable emblem...
We'll need to paint a larger version of this on both sides.
Roger that!
Be sure it can handle the proper power outlet.
We've had to add an extra energy tube.
Loran, bring your Core Fighter over here.
We'll do some maintenance on it for you.
Right! Coming right up.
Hey, after that, take this to the armory for us, alright?
Oh? Okay, but where is that?
You're that SUMO's pilot yet you don't even know something so basic?
Please just tell him.
What?
Queen Dianna!
At ease, please.
Lieutenant Harry believes that this young man possesses a lot of strength.
Otherwise he wouldn't loan a civilian his SUMO. Please treat him accordingly.
Right.
So he must be Loran Cehack!
I have to get him to sign something!
And me, as well!
An autograph?
That tickles!
Don't move, now...
That's great, do me too!
What are you doing!?
Everyone else is working, but you're just goofing off?
These sisters here are the ones who manage the armory.
Yes. Cramming all those items in a tiny place isn't easy.
So THAT'S what your doing, is it?
The girls from the earth are kinda scary... - And rather sensitive, too!
Her overall personality may be a bit weighed down by gravity...
...But she also has a gentle side.
So THAT'S how an Armadillo is supposed to be used.
Yes, this is how a WaD should be used.
This one is called an "Armadillo".
No, it's a WaD!
I think "Armadillo" sounds better!
Fine, we'll call it that.
Alright, all units, prepare for departure!
We'll attack the area outside the harbor to lure out the SUMOs.
Following that, we'll attack the ship they are trying to restore.
Commander, our reports indicate Queen Dianna is leading the work being done there.
However...
That's not possible. Her Majesty would never conduct such menial tasks.
First Decoy Team, move out!
Sir!
With this combination...
...Harry and his band of idiots that couldn't accomplish jack while on earth...
Will be wiped out in a single blow! Let's go!
Hmm? Hamet really did draw a Whale on there?
- The shot on the other side needs to be reversed. - No problems. We're painting this piece by hand.
Loran! Loran Cehack!
Yeah? What's up?
Come on over to the deck.
Okay.
Pretend to be working, and hurry to me.
You should be wearing your pilot suit, and be prepared to use the Core Fighter.
But, won't I be discovered if I do that?
I've already asked Queen Dianna and Lady Kihel to board the ship.
I'd prefer if the people working here didn't know about this.
Hey, you can't bring those in without testing them first?
But that's...
- Turn on your radio. - Right.
Is it alright to not be wearing your space suit?
Such a thing would only result in making these people panic.
You're probably right.
So, you were able to find Missiles of this size?
I don't know if they'll be effective.
Then Loran will be the one to test them?
Check out Loran's Autograph.
Would you like mine?
No thanks. You're fully devoted to Queen Dianna, Lieutenant.
I'm sorry, then.
The Core Fighter will be used to test some missiles.
Is it the Ghingnham forces?
They're using a new type of mobile suit from the Lunar Mountain Cycle.
There are six in total.
Six?
Ames will have the Borjarnon, And the Kapool will be John's.
You're not gonna wear a pilot's suit?
Well, it's only a simple missile test run.
Clear the launch way, the Core Fighter is taking off!
What?
The Core Fighter is heading out?
Heading out where?
It's just a missile test!
Well, where's my Borjarnon currently at?
They told me some Mr. Ebans has it now.
His name is Ames.
That's odd... I don't see the Kapool here either.
The SUMO is missing as well.
That's right, they were all working a moment ago...
I'll check from the bridge.
What is it?
And enemy attack?
It seems that their target is this port.
Ghingnham's people seem to do nothing but fight constantly.
It's said that if they didn't have plans to invade earth, they never would've even had a reason to set foot on it.
Close the internal hatch!
Opening the external hatch!
Lieutenant Harry said that one of Ghingnham's bases will be in this direction...
Loran, sweep around to guard that other hatch for us.
Roger!
- They're coming! - Leave them to me!
They're trying to lure our attention away from their actual target...
From this position, we can't really attack them, can we?
Dummy, we only want to use this mechanical doll scout to distract the enemy's attention,
And then the soldiers will take care of it from there.
I'm not wearing a space suit...
Neither am I!
I'll give you a kiss if you succeed!
I would like that... but...
Microscopic robots?
They were used to bury the technology of the former space age.
Would either of you like some tea?
They shouldn't have cut off the power to the construction site...
The data wouldn't be erased, would it?
We've created several backup copies.
- Your Majesty... - Thank you.
We'll close in on them after all 3 units fire!
Kayra, Watch my rear!
You think that'll be enough?
Kayra!
That was too easy...
I get it!
There should be four left...
...there seems to be three to each set.
And the next set will be on Loran's end!
Two out of the three units are just robots!
Shoot for the leader!
Aim at the one a person is flying?
It's that one!
The robotic ones will have a consistent pattern.
A person is in there...
I'll do it!
Lieutenant!
Lieutenant Harry, thank you for your assistance.
We've completely cleared them out...
...but we lost two of our own in the process.
If we had've allowed them to enter...
The port would have been completely destroyed!
Would that Spaceship have been destroyed that easily?
I can't seem to locate Kayra's cockpit anywhere around here...
I wonder where it is?
He might've been killed, or was thrown out into space...
Don't say things like that!
I'm sorry...
This is different from what Lost Mountain was like, but it's still pretty scary.
Did you see the movie file? It was incredible!
I saw the video.
But they went and battled in mechanical dolls without me!
Sochie, don't be angry.
Then was that an order from Queen Dianna?
- Yes? - Sochie, it's all a matter of the circumstances of the moment.
It's not because anyone dislikes you.
- Is that so... - Of course it is!
- Queen Dianna... Make sure you come home soon! - We'll pray for your success in this battle!
As this ship, the Whales, is on its way to earth, we'll be practicing complex maneuvers.
I look forward to seeing each of you put forth your best effort!
It is thanks to the Moonrace's cooperative spirit that we'll be able to return to earth!
Thank you.
It was nothing.
It was our honor to help you in the process of returning to Earth!
We'll do our best for you!
Ghingnham's operation ends up being even larger than the total assault that Queen Dianna had feared. Guin Rhineford also...
...begins to put pressure on Keith.
Dianna and ourselves Arrive in the Whales and meet with Horace right in the middle of their forceful negotiations.
Next time... on TURN A GUNDAM... Ghingnham's Invasion
"The Wind blows in many directions."
Ghingnham's Invasion
