It's not an easy thing to navigate from the Moon to the Earth, but...
...the taboo from the past was what made this especially challenging.
The Whales soon touched ground in North Ameria...
...Because Queen Dianna desires to quickly put an end to this situation.
And now for that very purpose, she attempted to reason with Sir Guin and Merrybell.
Dianna's Repatriation
What's the big deal with this Moonlight Butterfly system?
Watch this!
It's coming this way...
It's pretty big, isn't it?
It may not be perfect, but we should be able to use this as a pretty effective weapon!
I'm not sure what they're doing, but I know the meaning of this typhoon...
And that ionic smell...
- I'll be back soon! - Okay.
Yo, nobleman's son. What's up?
They've gone too far, now! This earth isn't a laboratory...
In war, there is no upper limit for such actions.
These are the letters from the leaders in Ameria who'll be forming a resistance.
They say that they have no intentions of participating in our plan to unify and reconstruct this nation.
Personally, I have no interest in the unification of the population and continent of Ameria.
Even Inglessa has a limit on how many resources it can supply us with, you know.
That could be a problem.
Then perhaps...
What?
Shall we shift our focus onto Dianna Counter?
Are you suggesting that we start cannibalizing our own?
You won't have to take it that far.
With the power of the Turn X, it should be quite easy to defeat the Dianna Counter forces.
Once Phil and the other leaders see it for themselves, they'll be more than willing to bow to such pure power.
Phil's army has been something of a thorn. Shall we attack?
Yes. Then, could you return the Turn A to us?
Are you saying you don't trust us with it?
It's not that. The technicians won't stop pestering me about it until I allow them to begin the mass production of the unit.
Mass production of the Turn A...
- Sounds interesting, doesn't it? - Yes, very interesting.
Please don't do something so unreasonable, Joseph!
That's right, please consider the current situation!
If you head over to meet with Guin alone, you'll just get yourself killed!
As things are now, there's nothing that Loran can possibly accomplish!
Because of that, I need to take the Jalopy team over there and recover the unit!
But the negotiations with the Dianna Counter forces are going smoothly!
This isn't the time for you to do such a thing!
And how do you know we'll be able to trust these negotiations with the Moonrace?
The Militia leadership needs to be handled...
You're just being prejudice!
The Moonrace has even less desire to damage the earth than the people of earth do!
This is the place where we want to live, after all.
What the little sister said is precisely right!
Shouldn't our Queen be with the Almaiya class ship that arrived here as well?
Watch what you're saying! If you're part of the Moonrace, what the heck's up with that outfit!?
It's no odder than an Earthling like you using a Mobile Suit, I'd say.
I suppose you won't be guiding my way.
Who was that?
That voice sounds familiar... could he be a Moonrace spy?
I have no idea...
Look, FLAT boy, I can get there on my own. You don't need to follow me.
Whales, can you hear me? There's a spy on the way.
Hey, what's your name? I'll tell them to expect you.
It's Corin! I'm Sergeant Corin Nander.
Corin... That guy!?
That Monk is...
I hope you're currently in good health, Your Majesty.
I appreciate your concern, Sergeant Corin.
Wasn't he the pilot of that strange Mechanical Doll?
That's right... He dedicated his efforts to Dianna. That's the guy who kept calling the White Doll "Gundam".
I just recently began to smell that apocalyptic ionic stench.
Then I take it that you've seen the Turn A in action?
Yes, I have.
Your majesty, what I have witnessed...
...Was only a fraction of the horrors that machine is capable of.
Then just who exactly is this man?
I myself am only aware of the records contained within Dianna Counter.
But as for Corin, He predates all of them. So I can't tell you anything for sure.
Naturally, I can't blame your majesty for neglecting to learn such things.
Sergeant Corin... do you know of a way that we might be able to combat the Turn A?
Sadly, my existence won't be that convenient.
But...
Once I awakened, I got the opportunity to see our young highness all grown up.
I'll help you in any way I can if it would give me a chance to be near you.
Sergeant Corin, I would like to officially request you to join my forces.
Yes!
Thank you for everything.
It is my pleasure, Corin.
So.. could this be the behavior of a person sent into prolonged hibernation?
Mr. Corin...
A samurai who has hibernated for ages...
Joseph, please wait!
If you go to Guin Rhineford alone, you'll get yourself captured, or worse!
I'll be with the Jalopy team, so don't worry about it.
Loran, stop him!
Joseph seems to think that he'll be able to recapture Turn A!
Stop his team from heading out!
I'll go directly to Guin and see what his true intentions are!
I'm heading out in the Core Fighter! - I am too!
- I'll help them. - We'll leave it to you.
Sochie, Miashei, do whatever you can to stop them!
Joseph is a man with great potential! Please stop him from doing anything reckless!
- We're flying... - It'll be just fine.
This situation is kinda muddy...
How can an army like this possibly hope to win?
Not to mention when those bastards are using the "Gundam"...
This is why I've re-enlisted you in our forces, Sergeant.
If you wish it, The Royal Guard will loan you a unit.
A SUMO, huh?
That's the signal to begin this battle...
But since I'm such a nice guy, I'll give you a chance to prepare first!
Sweatson Sutero?
That will be the mercy of the Ghingnham Squad!
So this is the end result of Agrippa's demise?
Commander Phil!
We can handle the Mahiroo. The WaDoms can destroy them in a single blast.
Don't think I'll let you surrender just because you're a voluntary civillian Militia.
Ghingnham Squadron...
Your actions on earth constitute a serious crime, and yet you seem to be proud of them!
If these orders came from General Ghingnham himself...
...then his sentence in the eyes of the Dianna Counter's laws is very clear.
I'll handle their Aspite for you.
- Please do. - Yes sir.
Prepare the barrier!
You've been warned!
WaDom, commence the attack!
So Phil wants to become the ruler of the Soleil Kingdom in the middle of Nocis? I can't allow that!
Then again, I might let you live if you build a delicious cake shop in it!
Nocis is going to become a battlefield...
We'll have to force the Soleil out.
You sure it's okay for us to travel to the factories at a time like this?
The technicians need to be given the opportunity to examine the Turn A.
That way, it won't matter anymore if that one little lady attempts to take back Turn A.
Is that our purpose, then?
What makes you think Ghingnham will loan us the Turn A again?
Well, he believes anyone who isn't of the Moonrace can't pilot it.
Yeah. Loran isn't here with us now.
Neither Loran or Laura...
Why must the Moonrace battle their own?
The Terrans have been known to war among themselves time and time again. It's nothing unexpected.
But... Queen Dianna...
The Whales must leave at once.
Right!
Queen Dianna!
Sooner or later, Phil and the Soleil will be set upon.
But we too must now set off.
With our assistance, they should be able to fend off the Ghingnham team.
But Phil and Ambassador Miran are...
You were once the sole commander of the Soleil.
So you should know better than anyone that they're not bad people.
That's true.
They will welcome our response.
Harry, ask Captain Daisuke to take command of the Whales and then determine our course.
Ma'am!
I would also like to see Sergeant Corin once again.
We are soon going to pay a visit to Guin Rhineford.
For this purpose, the Jalopy Team will coordinate with Whales' forces!
However, we the people of earth won't merely be the Moonrace's subordinates. They can't simply use us to bulk up their forces!
- We'll follow any order given! - Shall we launch early morning?
All of you, be sure to rest well!
I told you to work without the lights!
Do we know what the Willgem's course currently is?
Yes... but confronting Mr. Guin will only prove a useless effort.
Do you really believe that I'd bet our efforts on a simple chat?
What do you mean?
I'll show you how an underpowered team learns to fight.
Then I'm going too.
I'm going as well.
I'm going too!
Loran!
This thing isn't capable of long distance flights.
Power down the alarm...
Docking request received!
What is it?
Open our Mobile Suit deck!
- Loran has returned... - That FLAT's from the Jalopy Team, right?
Isn't it a bit late for you to reach us now?
Why didn't you respond to the radio communications?
Is it true that you made it to the moon?
What about it?
Well, I'd love to see the hometown of my lady friend here someday.
So, does this mean that you've decided to assist us, Laura?
Answer him.
I... just came to escort Joseph.
Mr. Joseph Yaht?
Why have you decided to join forces with Gym Ghingnham?
The Ghingnham Armada greatly outperforms this lone ship.
In reality, what have we actually gained from our negotiations with the Moonrace?
What?
His own fleet would simply descend from the moon and wipe us out, along with the peace loving factions of the Moonrace.
You are quite mistaken. Gym Ghingnham's faction alone would've never invaded earth without outside help.
Do you remember what you saw on the moon, Fran Doll?
Ghingnham went around playing his war games even after the return operation began, didn't he?
You're referring to the Moonrace members whose fighting instinct resurfaced?
That's right.
And so, because of this, we have decided to ally ourselves with those samurai.
That's only a good idea if you'll be able to keep Ghingnham as an ally, Sir Guin.
War is about more than just weapons.
Education, industry, and even culture itself...These are all things which your opponent can sabotage.
And so it has been to this end, that I sought to confront our enemies beforehand.
We understand, Lord.
I truly wished to accomplish great things while on earth, but you ruined all that when you brought that man here...
Is this kind of ambition a bad thing?
What!?
To accomplish that, you just need to think like Ghingnham.
If we can mass produce the Turn A...
...it wouldn't be much trouble to place someone like yourself in command of such a force.
You mustn't! You can't accept this man's offer...
Someone of the Moonrace should stay out of this!
So to help you control your alliance with Ghingnham, you want me to become your ally as well?
That's not it.
I'm simply asking an ambitious person like you if you'd take interest in such an opportunity.
We're both from earth, are we not?
- It smells like smoke! - A fire broke out!
What?
- Where's the extinguisher!? - The alarms didn't go off!
Where have Bruno and Jacop gone!?
They weren't on duty, were they?
It looks like even those two decided to flee from you.
Seems like you're not too popular anymore.
What?
Here's my answer!
- A blast? - The emergency exit...
This probably won't be a good place for us to stay...
Then let's hurry up and get out of here!
We need to escape before the smoke overtakes us...
Just be grateful that we didn't use more powerful gunpowder!
Couldn't you please reconsider the possibility of joining with Queen Dianna again?
That would make us become Ghingnham's enemy!
Laura, why have you refused to even consider assisting me!?
I... I am...
Laura!
We're searching for where the blast came from...
Make sure you disable Joseph's FLAT!
Mr. Jacop!
Did you hear the explosions?
Did they hit our engine?
Give us a minute and we'll check it over...
Loran, please take care of Fran.
What about you, Joseph?
Got that? Just stick with Loran.
- Joseph! - Fran...
The Soleil will now take a 180 degree course change in it's heading!
Watch our rear as we turn to face the opposing ship!
Poe, the Mobile Suit unit will follow the planned operation...
Roger! We'll show these guys what officers with real combat experience can do!
SUMO-1 and WaDom-2, preparing for the combat operation!
As you work with our lead ship, get ready to wipe out Ghingnham's soldiers in a single blow!
Cease radio communication...
Our opponents aren't the militia!
Carefully monitor their warship and look for an opening!
Or, Mr. Loran, have you come here to take back the White Doll?
Uh, may I?
We're leaving, Loran! Mr. Joseph!
Mr. Joseph!
Joseph, get up there!
I'm just fine.
There's still a Borjarnon here...! Let's escape!
- Hurry up! - We'll take the exit to the right.
I'll shoot!
Ready the main cannons!
Adapt to whatever the battle throws your way. I'll leave it to you.
Yes sir! You can count on me.
They're attacking us from below instead of above?
Miran, that bastard... He's pressuring us from all directions!
Stay in the air! Prepare to engage the enemy battleship!
Are you even watching this? Lower your altitude!
The attack from below's meant to lure us away. Their real force will approach us from behind.
Don't ascend, Number four!
Gym, should I assist us in my Bandit?
The first robotic warship has been sent in.
So it would seem.
Do you think we can sink two of them?
I'm betting on three.
Corin, it looks like the Mobile Suit combat has begun.
Yes...
Will you be able to get me to the Soleil in the midst of that?
We'll make it.
SUMO units, ready to deploy!
The enemy's reinforcements have entered our firing range!
Here they come!
Fire!
What's with that!?
The Bandits would've been able to take care of them much more easily...
Pull us back!
We'll bombard Harry while the Mahiroo Squadron forms a defensive line for us!
Did earth's air eat away at your sanity?
At this sort of range, being hit by even a single blast could prove deadly!
Pull us out of here, now!
Here they come!
The Mahiroo are retreating?
Why would a pesky mosquito like that be here?
Wait, that's...
That person...
That person is...!
Queen Dianna!
Inform all personnel!
That fighter plane is...
All personnel, form up! Remove your headgear!
l, Sergeant Corin, the former commander of the Zenoa Team...
...have safely delivered Her Majesty, Dianna Soriel back to us.
Commander Phil...
...Gym Ghingnham has now arrived here on the earth.
This too, is another sin I've allowed to occur.
In order to strike against him, I will be in need of your service. As well as yours, Miran.
Dianna Soriel, your highness...
My life is in your hands.
I too intend to willingly follow any order that you will give me, your majesty.
I now order the Dianna Counter forces to take whatever measures are necessary to strike down Ghingnham's Armada.
Yes Ma'am!
Ghingnham begins utilizing the Turn X in his ground campaign.
Joseph seems ready to risk his life...
...and Lieutenant Harry and Dianna Counter are willing to risk theirs as well.
After being watched by Queen Dianna, I have come to beleive...
...that I'll soon be flying into the light.
Next time... on TURN A GUNDAM... Moonlight Butterfly
"The wind turns violent."
