Von Braun City on the moon.
The badly damaged Gundam Unit 1 returns to its motherland of...
...Anaheim Electronics to have its wounds healed.
Kou Uraki, vanishing from the crew...
...met Kelly Layzner, who lives in the lowest depths of the city.
Kelly's desire to return to being a pilot...
...struck a chord in Uraki's heart.
And, as Uraki finally found himself again...
...the reborn Gundam was there before his eyes.
There's no winner of this fight as I collapse, now exhausted.
I look up to the stars above...
...and don't even have the strength to cry.
I don't need, don't need yesterday anymore.
I don't need dreams that have crumbled away.
I got a burning heart! I just wanna keep on running!
Just chasing the thrill that's shooting through my heart!
Feelings that you just can't describe with words...
...are enough to ignite even a frozen heart!
I got a burning love! Burning with shining blue fire.
Fire that'll spread until it covers all the stars in the sky.
I got a burning heart! Love is such a lonely battle.
But is it one that will consume the world in flames?
WITH SHINING BLUE FIRE
650...
700...
750...
800... Running fine. No signs of G-flutter.
900! All right, let's go!
It's a great machine! It pulled a sudden gang flag at 115%.
Isn't it?! The compatibility with the added boosters is top notch...
...and even Kou seems to have his piloting sense back.
Nina, work, remember? Work.
Full Vernian test file, completed! Returning to base.
Actuator compressor, free. Maintenance-mode setting, okay.
Okay, start with a stress check on all the Gundam's systems.
So, how do you like the Full Vernian, Ensign Uraki?
It's outstanding! Next time, let's try for 1 60.
Thanks.
Just 160? This machine can now go all the way to 230...
...my dear Ensign.
My body'd never take it if I tried that.
I wouldn't even be able to take a shower after that.
Don't worry, I've put my whole heart into tuning up the Gundam.
For your sake.
Let's go, Kou.
Kou!
Keith.
Things are really never boring when you're around.
Huh? What do you mean?
We don't know when we'll get leave again, do we?
You-- You saw us?!
How the hell could I not see it?
A high-school kid could do better than you've been doing.
Here.
Movie tickets. Ask Nina to go with you!
Sorry I'm late.
Hi, Mora.
Mora...? Keith, since when have you...?
Kou, the winners in the relationship war change often.
If you don't get your act together, you'll end up alone.
- Shall we go? - Right.
See you, Kou.
Why? Tell me why!
You even made friends with that Federation soldier, didn't you?!
They're using you! They're not telling you the truth!
Lateura, try to understand.
My war isn't over yet.
Kelly...
Lateura!
I must stress that we won't tolerate any trouble here on Luna.
Meaning you don't care about any trouble that happens off of Luna.
I'm thankful for your tacit approval of the Delaz Fleet's call to arms.
No matter what you might say, it's Lunarians like you...
...who are throwing the world into chaos.
Not at all. I just want to be of service to you, Ms. Cima.
If so, then won't you give us some better mobile suits?
You give the Feddies rather nice ones, don't you?
What if I gave you a mobile suit that's about to be rolled out?
And thus the balance of power is maintained...
Still, the Albion is an annoyance.
I'd prefer that you not give them so much support.
Love is blind, huh?
N- No, there're just some things I want to do...
...before the Albion leaves port.
You're going back on board?!
We need data on the upgraded Gundam, don't we?
Risking your life for a great adventure!
Or should that be ''for a great romance?''
Come on, guys!
Nina.
The chief wants to see you.
Is that a company order, sir?
The guys upstairs didn't go quite that far.
But it was suggested that you be transferred out of...
...the mobile suit development section.
You don't need to be on a Federation ship to do research, do you?
Besides, I have an obligation to your parents to look after you.
That ship will definitely be fighting the Delaz Fleet.
It looks like the execs want that ship out of here at once.
Can't I have a little time to think about this?
I'm sorry about this...
...but I have my own family to support.
Wow! You actually got it operational in just one day!
That's really something.
Oh, and here's what we promised you.
Oh, thanks. There's some stuff I have to do...
...before I can join up with the Delaz Fleet.
With this, even Lateura should...
This much? Are you sure?
Oh,just think of it as the price, Mr. Reserve Lieutenant.
A prepayment? That's generous of you.
Oh? I hope you haven't misunderstood us.
I'm asking you to make sure that...
...the mobile armor I'm flying is in tip-top shape.
Wh- What did you say?!
Cima brought me along to pilot this thing.
Nobody'd be stupid enough to trust a mobile weapon...
...to some one-armed cripple!
Kou... Help me!
This isn't a formal request.
I anxiously await your return.
The time is coming for us to rise again.
To you alone I can say this much: I'll be going to Earth soon.
To Australia, for a certain purpose.
When I've done it,you will hear Admiral Delaz's voice.
And then we will fight side by side, as we did at Solomon.
I anxiously await a positive reply.
To Lt. Kelly Layzner. Your good friend, Anavel Gato.
Gato... What are you doing now...?!
Stardust. That is the name of the Delaz Fleet's operation.
However, it seems their current actions...
...are just diversions meant to confuse us.
What is their true objective?
The key to that must lie with the stolen Gundam Unit 2.
Today, at 21:00 hours, the Albion will set out...
...to the Solomon Sea to act as a search and attack unit.
I know it's sudden, but I ask all hands to prepare for it.
As some of you may know the demands of the Lunarians...
...had some effect on the drafting of these orders.
However, don't be angry with them.
Those here on the moon live in a different position than ourselves.
Nina's not like that! How is she any different from me?!
Passing buoy #3.
Turn 5 degrees to port and switch to manual navigation!
5 degrees to port, aye.
- See you! - Good night!
Hey, let's go to that bar over on the third road link.
You have a guest, Nina. Ensign Uraki?
Uh, hi, Nina.
Well, I'd better go.
- It's, uh, a really clean office. - Oh?
Y- You look upset. Is something wrong?
- There are complications... - Complications?
No, it's nothing, really.
So, what brings you here?
Huh? Uh, well, that is...
C- Can I sit down?
Y- You keep the air- conditioning set high in here.
It's sorta warm.
So, what do you want before you leave port?
If you're busy, it can wait, I mean...
I'm all through with my work.
Oh... Really?
- Well, then-- - Then what?
Well, I...
God, I've never done this before...
Yes?
Well, um...
It's about the pulse in the new manipulator auto-systems!
- What about it? - Yeah, well...
Well, there's some noise...
What about the noise?
No, forget about it...
Coward!
Nina!
Are mobile suits the only things you know how to handle?
No problem. I still have time.
Kelly! I know you're in there!
Open the door! Kelly, please!
Try to understand, Lateura.
If I can destroy the Gundam, they'll have to accept me!
How long has it been since you've seenJoshua?
He's grown so much!
That's why I hate vid-phones. It only makes you feel...
...like you're there when you're really not.
Nina, come home and live with the rest of us.
New Antwerp isn't really so bad.
Are you listening, Nina? Won't you let me see you?
You can relax, Dad. I'm coming home.
Really? Your mother will be so happy.
When your department chief told us...
...you were on a Federation warship, we were so worried--
I've messed up again... Time to just quit.
Ms. Cima, the #3 space port airlock has been opened.
What? The bay we're to pick up the Val Varo at?
It's too soon.
I hate men who butt in where they shouldn't!
What's that?!
Isn't that a mobile armor?!
1 0 minutes to launch! All hands to stations!
Paula! Nina... Why isn't Nina coming?!
Whose fault is it that she's acting like this?
Nina isn't coming aboard this ship.
I came to get her luggage.
The reason! Tell me the reason!
Enemy mobile armor approaching! All visitors, clear ship at once!
Repeat, all non-crewmembers must clear the ship at once!
A mobile armor?
Apparently Kelly Layzner has finally snapped.
Now that he knows I won't be taking him...
...he's taking the mobile armor to surrender it to the Feddies!
You expect me to stop a mobile armor with just one Zaku?!
Take responsibility for your actions, even if it kills you. We're leaving.
GOD DAMN YOU!!!
You'd fire on one of your own?! On one of your own?!
Hey, there's a battle going on outside!
Huh? What do you mean, a battle?
What...? Hey, I'm getting a signal!
This is Kelly Layzner! Federation ship, do you read me?!
I want to challenge the Gundam!
Kelly?
All mobile suits, prep for immediate launch!
Intercept! Urban combat have been forbidden!
Is it really a mobile armor?
Mora, why?!
Don't ask me!
Is it Kelly? But why?!
Course: 0-8-7!
No! It'll look like we're using Von Braun as a shield!
0-6-3!
Course: 0-6-3!
Is this guy nuts? What's he after? Are the mobile suits ready yet?!
11 o'clock! Enemy has opened fire!
I'm not looking to fight any GMs!
Send out the Gundam or I'll open fire on Von Braun!
He's after the Gundam? What's going on here?
Gundam Full Vernian, moving out!
Captain!
We have no choice! Clear Ensign Uraki!
Ensign Uraki, Gundam, moving out!
So, you've come, Gundam!
Kelly, why are you doing this?!
Uraki?! You're the Gundam's pilot?!
I see... But, sooner or later...
Kelly, please don't do this! Don't make me fight you!
Don't be naive, Uraki!
Nobody can choose the conditions of a fight!
- There's a battle outside! - Why're they doing it here?!
They should do that in space or on Earth!
Anyway, they're locking this place down.
Son of a...!
Hey! Don't go out! We're locking down!
Your life... You're throwing your life away!
What's the point of it?! KELLY!
You've already heard Admiral Delaz say why!
All that matters to a soldier is the instinct to fight!
Dud rounds?
You fool!
What?!
Battle is life or death!
This is all right, right? Can't I go?! Send me out!
KOU!!!
What's...?!
Stop it, Kelly! Isn't it enough for Gato to do this?!
Stop acting like they do on Earth!
We can work things out if we're all just a little patient!
Nina?! What are you doing here?
Missed?!
Oh, no!
DAMN IT!!!
Nina!
Nina...!
Shit!
No beam cannon can beat the Val Varo from that range!
Did that get him?!
This is the Val Varo!
What?!
Kou Uraki! Do you hear me?! I regret nothing!
Kelly! Use your escape system!
I never installed one.
I told you we wanted no trouble here on Luna.
Bite me.
Nina... Nina!
Kou...
Nina...
I want you to come. I want you with me.
Always!
Kou...
Kou!
Nina!
69... 55... 46...
32... 17...
Propulsion laser, cutting off!.
Excellent! Set course to pull away from Luna's gravity well.
Kelly... You were too late.
But I will always wait for you.
Because I know you better than anyone else...
The 3rd squadron is joining us from mark 8 to port.
All participating fleets have gathered.
