Queen Dianna Soriel finally returned to the Soleil.
However, I made it onboard the Willgem...
...and felt rather shocked once we had verified Sir Guin's true intentions.
In addition, Mr. Joseph and Fran also felt the same way.
Meanwhile, Dianna Counter's and Ghingnham's battleships fought one another in the skies over Bohengahera.
A new terrestrial battle had begun.
Moonlight Butterfly
They're so slow.
It must be caused by the humidity and air pressure here on the earth.
What a pain...
Thanks to the Dark History, samurai like ourselves have found our place!
I just need to take all of these guys down?
Sorry, but I'm over here!
Our backup is too slow. They'll shoot down our comrades at this rate.
Our overall lack of Mobile Suits is the first problem we need to consider.
Yes. Compared to professionals, we're only a civilian unit...
So here's where you were!
Just a... what do you think you're doing to your superior!?
What's the matter, sis?
- Corin! - Just borrowing her!
I knew it...
The Sergeant?
- Pass this on to the Militia members from the Whales... - Yes?
We need you to try to increase the Turn A's efficiency so that we can better combat the Mahiroo!
The Militia is having little trouble with that...
Loran isn't the one piloting Turn A...
Then are you saying you guys intend to let Queen Dianna bother with trivial matters like this?
- We'll get back to work at once! - Use a WaD!
- What is it? - Where's Lieutenant Harry?
He's right over there.
Lieutenant, Commander Phil has a request for you.
- Okay. - Then, I'll head up to the bridge.
Please do.
What's the status with the Turn A?
The fact that Loran Cehack isn't piloting it is causing Queen Dianna to be concerned!
Did you relay the Militia's current capacity to them?
Yes, we did.
Go ahead and tell Commander Phil that we will attempt to get Loran's unit docked with the Turn A after we've encircled our enemy.
Right...
Please go ahead and return to the bridge.
Jacop!
Could you please put us to use on this ship?
Commander Phil puts up a fuss every time we even hint at the prospect of joining the Royal Guards!
He doesn't see us as fighters!
Isn't it enough that you get to remain close to Queen Dianna?
Please speak to the Commander about it for us.
Fine. Once we've met up with Lily Borjarno's forces, the Jalopy Team will be joining up with us as well.
Looks like it's over.
Is it, now?
Joseph apparently doesn't want you to pilot the Turn A, for some reason...
From what I can understand, that just seems to be the Terrans' nature.
He's still being unreasonable.
One knows only what they know, I suppose.
Back home, people from the canal tend to form the same sort of rival complex toward the people in Genganam.
You think it's because he was born in South Ameria around Adeska?
He doesn't want to end up being outdone by people from Nocis.
But... unless the Turn A is using the cockpit you have, it won't be able to function at its peak efficiency, right?
Joseph probably thinks it's sufficient enough as is.
Set me down.
Is this good?
But, why are there so many Mobile Suits engaged in close range ground combat right now?
Apparently, there's a lot of magnetic interference around here.
That means they won't be able to use radar in a fight...
And, they won't be able to properly use radio signals for communications.
I'll try to talk things over with Joseph.
I very much appreciate the fact that you've provided us the best agricultural land in Inglessa, Lord Guin...
But don't think you can use this as an excuse to cover your mistake of losing the Turn A!
I meant nothing of the sort!
After all, I still intend to mass produce Turn A.
- Colonel Michael! - Sir!
We currently intend to enter into Nocis' Northern Industrial Region. Therefore...
In order to force the Soleil out of Nocis...
We are to move off to the east coast, and attack from that direction, right?
Well, pretty much.
Then, that area will be the first place where the Moonrace populace can begin their immigration to the earth.
So what's the problem?
We're afraid that doing such could start a rebellion...
Colonel, you're giving it too much thought.
As long as we have the Turn X, we won't have to worry about our battle capabilities, right?
Those damned earthlings...
So, how is it, Poe?
We customized this unit from a mish-mash of parts they had laying around.
Has the combat IFF signal been input and registered as a friendly unit yet?
I worked the entire night to finish this...
Alright, tell our troops to register the IFF code for Corin's Kapool.
Yes ma'am...
To show you my gratitude, I'll volunteer to become your section's vanguard! You're lucky!
I am glad you approve of it.
I'll be able to do quite a bit of good with this unit!
They're on the move...
We can't fall behind here, guys!
Not when I'm supposed to have the Soleil and Her Majesty at my unit's rear.
Hey, wake up...
Stop!
Unit one, is anything wrong with your wings?
Why didn't you attach any curtains to these windows!?
That would have made it much harder to take off!
Won't just having your umbrella do well enough?
Isn't this a top of the line transport plane?
Make sure you don't snap the wings off when we land!
Borman's the only pilot that bad.
These planes were like cheap wooden gliders that snap in half easily. We didn't exactly have the time to attach anything to these windows!
You do realize that I chose to come here in this plane, rather than take the Gallop!
Why you...
You bastard!
You need to return custody of the Turn A back to Loran, Joseph!
Don't be stupid!
Stop being so unreasonable!
Fran... please fight together with Miss Fran instead!
Do you seriously think I'd allow Fran to fight on this battlefield?
- Oh my! - He fell off!
Joseph, if the Turn X does show up, get out of there and head toward the ocean!
The Jalopy team will now commence the operation to surround our enemy!
Fran, make sure Loran protects you.
Joseph...
Loran, I'll leave Fran in your hands.
Because... Fran might have my future child there inside her now.
Can't you at least kiss me before you leave!?
That stupid fool...
Ghingnham's forces will be approaching us from the eastern bank...
They don't show any signs of surrendering?
Regrettably, hearing the voice of your own Ambassador only leaves them feeling ill.
And what of talks with Guin Rhineford?
Well, it seems that Lord Guin's only intention is to see the Moonrace destroy itself through this Civil War.
The Willgem was last spotted heading north beside the Alahaman Mountain range.
Earth's people were never meant to get wrapped up in our internal affairs like this...
- What's that? - Nothing.
What is it?
Well... About Lost Mountain just south of the Alahaman Mountain Range...
- Yes? - They haven't taken a full geological survey of the area yet, have they?
We ignored that area since the terrain would take too much work to make suitable for colonization.
Is that your decision as their Ambassador?
Then, you haven't even bothered to look much beyond the immediate needs of this war?
Well, Gramps...
It wasn't clear to me until after I had studied the Dark History...
However, in its past, on land, sea, or in the air... the larger force was commonly defeated by the smaller one.
In addition, Gym and his Turn X have proven to be a dangerous and highly unpredictable factor.
Even still...
We haven't missed the chance to do it yet, Mr. Sid.
You can leave the ship and begin work yourself, if you like.
Nah... While I would prefer to think about things like agriculture, I also don't want to miss this upcoming battle.
At any rate, even just seeing your vibrant face makes me feel young again!
That's enough of that, now!
My WaDom Team...Absolutely must make sure to destroy at least one of their warships!
The rest of their fleet is on the other side behind that SUMO!
Comrades, use the spear formation! We'll entrap and take down the Soleil in a single strike!
What the!? That Silver Type...
You girls can concern yourselves with driving back the ones in my way...
You got that?
In terms of piloting the Kapools, we are your seniors, you know!
Don't argue with him, Sochie. That man may have been some bizzare war hero in his previous life.
He's still from the Moonrace, right?
Ignore those stupid balls!
The Mahiroo Squadron should be more than a match for them!
Take this!
They're still able to dog-fight so well even here on the earth!
Perhaps they really are survivors from the Dark History?
No way!
Auto-Snap!!
Over to the right... is that the Luzianna Militia fighting as well?
That's right.
Ghingnham's forces should be close by.
On the other side of that hill?
Correct.
The Turn X and the Bandit should be moving in that direction.
The Borjarnon won't be able to survive up here...
What are you talking about?
The mechanical dolls have good armor...
...so they should be able to attack from these mountains.
We should get you out of here, Princess...
It might be risking our lives, But we can't just command the soldiers from the rear.
We've got to get up there.
Begin a barrage!
Ames, John, get to the front lines!
- Mallygan... - Yes?
If a Borjarnon's engine were to explode, it...
It wouldn't be a tiny blast like that. Get some distance between us and them.
But, your highness...!
The enemy ship is in our sights!
Commence the Missile Barrage!
Gallop, retreat! Pull back immediately!
Nonsense... what good will it do to set this up manually, you fool?
The Turn X is ready to launch! Prepare the Deck!
Why are we flying a vehicle like this all the way out here?
We go wherever the weather directs us.
Ignore the cannon fodder!
Once we kill the idol herself, Dianna Soriel, this battle will meet a quick end.
I have no doubt that a sincere Idol like Dianna will be aboard the Soleil.
Don't think that I'll allow you to make it to her quite so easily!
So the very same Turn A that we serviced has come out to fight now, has it?
We can't let the Terrans out shine us in this fight!
Dianna Counter...!
Who sent THAT Mobile Suit!?
The population should have stayed behind on the moon...
But you really loved Dianna this much?
We should drop our altitude and increase speed. The WaDom's beam can still hit us from here.
No. Moving to where we can't survey the battle won't help us either.
Help us, you say?
Don't say it.
So the Turn X has finally launched.
Yes... and it's made contact with the Turn A, but the Core Fighter still hasn't left the ground yet.
I'm heading out as well.
Lieutenant!
Will I... ever be able to recall memories of my father and mother...?
This unit isn't finished yet!
What in the...!?
Since you guys serviced this thing so well, it's become very easy to use! I've returned to say "Thank You"!
Easy to use!?
I did it, Fran!
Hey Brother...
Did I just hear you call out a woman's name?
The Turn X Top!
Historically, when on the battlefield, the only ones who would ever call out the names of their lovers were the soldiers who were about to die!
Ghingnham...
Please allow me to take out the Mustached suit for you!
Ghingnham, it's me! It's Sweatson Sutero!
I'll kill ANYONE who dares to interfere with my personal battles!
That isn't the way a General should be acting!
Hey, Terran inside Turn A...
I am now monitoring your life-data...
...so that I know exactly when I send you off to meet God!
My vital reactions?
The Turn X's Psycommu system sends out these energy waves...
Isn't it nice that their signal's so strong?
So, sir... This'll be your last chance to join the Ghingnham Squadron!
I'm Joseph Yaht...!
Isn't that the Turn A, Loran?
That's right.
Turn X is hovering within a powerful magnetic field.
Mr. Jacop...
Is Mr. Bruno with you as well?
Lieutenant Harry is coming. Then, we'll attack in a "1 2 3" step formation.
We'll approach first, then Lieutenant Harry, and then you, Loran. Got that, Loran?
I'll just analyze your data later!
As for the Turn A which closed the curtain on the Dark History...
...that substitute's no longer needed in the next era, the only Turn type we'll ever need is this X type machine!
Guin, my boy, you won't be able to mass produce that unit now.
Destroy it!
- Mr. Joseph! - Joseph!
Lieutenant Harry...
Terrans...
...you don't have the abilities you'll need to restore the Turn A's true state!
- Huh? - What?
A Beam?
We won't explode?
I'm still alive...
Are you alright!?
No need to shout, Lieutenant.
If I had been sitting there...
Surround and restrain the Turn X!
Roger!
I-FIELD BARRIER!
Gym Ghingnham...I'll end your life even if it costs me my own!
This Turn X is quite incredible... After all, it's the brother of the Turn A!
It'll simply be able to drain your SUMO's energy...
Just like it was able to absorb the power of the city of Genganam!
Can't you see that, Harry Ord!?
UNIVERSE!
And now, the Moonlight Butterfly!
What's that!?
It's not a barrier!
Loran, that light...
It's from the Turn X.
Do you want me to remove and reattach the Core Fighter?
If you can, please do so!
What the!?
I've never heard of them using any strange insignia like this...
It must be Ghingnham.
The Moonrace loves putting on these flashy air shows all the time.
Perhaps it's a signal for surrendering?
Ghingnham would never do something this cute.
This is... the Moonlight Butterfly!
The Moonlight Butterfly?
This light...
This is what changed the earth from an era of light to one of darkness!
Light...disappear...
Search for its origin!
Isn't that a bit large for an aurora?
That thing's definitely no Aurora!
G... G...
IT'S A GUNDAM!
Lieutenant Harry, I'll let you take him!
Forget it, Poe! We'll have to use teamwork!
This monster...
Try to get it to use up its energy... If we do, even the Turn X will eventually...
It's finished!
- You ready? - Yes.
Do it, Harry!
PREPARE TO DIE, GHINGNHAM!
Is there something wrong with the Pitch?
I'm starting up the Turn A.
Fran and Joseph, you two remain behind here!
Is Loran going?
Bruno!
Shut the hatch!
For the sake of allowing people to sleep soundly each night...!
The Turn A... left...
It must be Loran...
So you've finally come, my brother!
This is making me sick...
Same here...
Was the lunar eclipse supposed to take place tonight?
Queen Dianna sets a defensive barrier around the Soleil...
...and the light of the Moonlight Butterfly is about to repeat the events of the Dark History once more.
In order to put an end to Ghingnham's ideals of war...
The final showdown between the Turn Types must commence.
Within my heart, that's what I resolve.
Next time... on TURN A GUNDAM... Golden Autumn
"The wind begins to stir."
Golden Autumn
