Tension in the Solomon sector rose high...
...and the secret machinations of the Federation and the Delaz Fleet brought forth conspiracies...
...giving birth to a rendezvous point in the sky.
Lt. Burning, who acquired the execution guideline of the enemy...
...learned of Gato's terrifying plan.
But then...
...his damaged unit shattered to the stars.
And now, the insignia of lieutenant hangs heavy on the shoulders of Uraki...
...who has just lost the mentor he could depend on.
Finally, the fateful day of the Naval Review has come.
MOBILE SUIT
GUNDAM
The fire that stares...
...at eyes that turned pale.
Now the time has come...
...to leave everything behind.
You can't look back...
...nor can you keep mourning.
You just have to keep fighting.
Even if they know they'll burn out today...
...will people still dream of tomorrow ?
Even if this is destiny...
I WANNA GET A CHANCE !
There's a raging storm...
...in the sky of despair.
For whom is the future for ?
A storm passes...
...over the dying world.
The chosen ones are...
MEN OF DESTINY !
EPISODE 9
THE NIGHTMARE OF SOLOMON
AXIS
:02:58.78 0:03:02.68 D Delaz's move is the only way to stop the Federation...
:03:02.68 0:03:07.19 D ...from establishing a firm grip on the Earth Sphere.
:03:07.19 0:03:09.69 D It has been three years since we went our separate ways.
:03:09.69 0:03:11.69 D But I believe he has the same thing on his mind as we do.
:03:11.69 0:03:14.40 D We have to accept it ! No matter how hard we try...
:03:14.40 0:03:18.20 D ...we don't have the power to make a move on our own.
:03:19.60 0:03:22.91 D Where is our advance fleet now ?
:03:22.91 0:03:23.91 D Aye, sir !
:03:23.91 0:03:27.51 D They're on the scheduled course to the rendezvous point with the Delaz Fleet.
:03:28.51 0:03:32.42 D But adjustments to the mobile armor being transported are still in progress.
:03:34.52 0:03:36.92 D Thank you.
:03:38.92 0:03:41.53 D It's so cold...
:03:41.53 0:03:43.73 D How many more years do we have to wait here ?
AXIS ADVANCE FLEET
:03:49.84 0:03:52.94 D Commander, it's a message from His Excellency Delaz.
:03:53.74 0:03:54.74 D Read it.
:03:54.74 0:03:58.45 D ``I salute your participation in our great cause and your support for Operation Stardust.''
:03:59.75 0:04:04.45 D It's still possible to communicate directly, despite some time lag, but he didn't...
:04:04.45 0:04:06.56 D ...as I expected from him.
:04:08.06 0:04:09.06 D Look !
:04:09.66 0:04:11.90 D What ? What's the matter ? Can you see it ?
:04:29.98 0:04:31.79 D It's Earth !
:04:34.19 0:04:36.29 D It's a postscript, Commander.
:04:36.29 0:04:39.50 D ``Our dear comrades, welcome to the Earth Sphere.''
:04:40.50 0:04:43.60 D He sure knows how to play with people's emotions, like he did before.
KONPEI ISLAND RESTRICTED SECTOR
:04:54.11 0:04:56.92 D Keith ! He's heading to Konpei Island !
:04:56.92 0:04:58.72 D Don't let him get away !
:04:59.22 0:05:01.42 D Even if you say so...
:05:01.42 0:05:02.92 CF7 We gotta do it !
:05:12.33 0:05:15.54 D Thank you, Keith ! That was the third one we shot down.
:05:18.14 0:05:19.84 D Who the hell are these people ?
:05:19.84 0:05:22.45 D They come one after another, even though they're not the regular force.
:05:22.45 0:05:24.85 D They're coming to join the Delaz Fleet.
:05:24.85 0:05:28.75 D No, to join Gato...
:05:29.35 0:05:32.76 D Somewhere...in this sea of Solomon...
ASTEROID SECTOR AT HALFWAY POINT TO KONPEI ISLAND
:05:48.98 0:05:53.98 D Finally, Operation Stardust has entered its final stage.
:05:53.98 0:05:58.19 D Yes, sir. All fleets are moving as scheduled.
:05:58.19 0:06:00.89 D No, it might be the end of it all...
:06:00.89 0:06:01.89 D Sir ?
:06:01.89 0:06:05.60 D This operation which uses our entire force will result...
:06:05.60 0:06:08.50 D ...in a significant loss of our war potential.
:06:08.50 0:06:11.30 D We won't have another shot.
:06:11.30 0:06:13.61 D All that is left for us is to fall...
:06:13.61 0:06:16.31 D I can understand how you feel, Your Excellency.
:06:16.31 0:06:20.81 D At worst, I might have to withdraw our force...
:06:20.81 0:06:23.02 D ...even if that means the end of the operation.
:06:23.02 0:06:25.92 D As I did in the shameful battle of Abaowaku.
SOLOMON SECTOR
:06:31.53 0:06:32.63 D Cold cleaner ready.
:06:32.63 0:06:33.93 D Connect to the main section.
:06:33.93 0:06:35.43 D There, lift the line.
:06:35.43 0:06:36.53 D Hurry up !
:06:36.53 0:06:38.43 D I told you to remove the cover for #10, didn't I ?
:06:37.43 0:06:39.54 CF7 Bring Balgo here.
:06:39.54 0:06:40.34 D To 1-3.
:06:40.34 0:06:40.74 D OK.
:06:40.74 0:06:41.64 D Good.
:06:41.64 0:06:43.04 D Is Aihau in here ?
:06:43.04 0:06:43.84 D Proceed to the next step.
:06:43.84 0:06:44.64 D Yes, sir.
:06:45.34 0:06:47.45 D Hey, where's the Commander ?
:06:47.45 0:06:50.05 D I haven't seen him, sir.
:07:26.69 0:07:28.79 D Commander...
:07:28.79 0:07:30.70 D ...is there something wrong... ?
:07:30.70 0:07:35.50 D No. But thinking of my countrymen who have died here...
:07:36.70 0:07:38.71 D That's right.
:07:38.71 0:07:41.71 D Of all the people who fought by your side...
:07:41.71 0:07:44.41 D I'm the only one left.
:07:44.41 0:07:48.52 D Karius...am I doing the right thing ?
:07:48.52 0:07:53.02 D Many wandering souls have returned here.
:07:53.02 0:07:56.43 D Am I not standing on the noble sacrifices of many comrades ?
:07:56.43 0:07:59.73 D That's the destiny of a commander.
:07:59.73 0:08:02.23 D This sea is still young.
:08:02.23 0:08:04.34 D For it to be calm, it still...
:08:05.34 0:08:07.04 D You're right.
:08:07.04 0:08:10.34 D What I have to do is give my best effort to make it through.
:08:10.34 0:08:13.25 D Yes, sir. Everyone has gathered for this moment.
:08:15.55 0:08:17.65 D Let's go, Sergeant.
:08:17.65 0:08:19.85 D It is twenty minutes before launch.
:08:19.85 0:08:22.00 D We will await you at the mobile suit deck.
:08:22.00 0:08:24.66 CF7 Lt. Bate, enemy sighted at 0-1-0.
:08:24.66 0:08:26.56 CF7 Course clear !
:08:26.56 0:08:28.66 D I'm getting roasted ! Damn it.
:08:28.66 0:08:30.07 D I don't even have time to eat !
:08:30.07 0:08:31.87 D Re-supply of Adel Unit has been delayed by two minutes.
:08:31.87 0:08:34.17 CF7 Are you guys trying to make a roasted duck out of me or something ?
:08:37.27 0:08:38.98 D How many enemy mobile suits have we shot down so far ?
:08:38.98 0:08:41.18 D At least eleven, sir.
:08:41.18 0:08:44.38 D But because Lt. Uraki and Ensign Keith have returned...
:08:44.38 0:08:47.09 D ...Berarabera District's defense is shaky.
:08:47.09 0:08:49.49 D There's nothing we can do. Speed up the supply process.
:08:49.49 0:08:50.29 D Yes, sir.
:08:50.29 0:08:52.59 D One more hour before the Naval Review.
:08:52.59 0:08:56.60 D Almost all our forces are concentrated at Konpei Island.
:08:56.60 0:09:01.00 D Is it truly safe to leave the Earth completely naked like this ?
:09:01.90 0:09:06.81 D Captain, do you still think that Gundam Unit 2 will attack Jaburo ?
:09:06.81 0:09:08.41 D Of course not.
:09:08.41 0:09:11.91 D But the staff generals are being too hasty...
:09:11.91 0:09:15.28 D ...to settle things with this Naval Review, once and for all.
:09:15.28 0:09:18.62 CF5 Attention ! Adel Unit launching from the port catapult !
:09:24.13 0:09:24.83 D Here you are !
:09:24.83 0:09:26.63 D Good job, shooting down three mobile suits !
:09:32.74 0:09:35.44 D This sea...IS HELL.
:09:35.94 0:09:37.85 D Do the trend check once for the legs.
:09:37.85 0:09:41.15 D Check the lockanizer sync twice.
:09:42.15 0:09:43.65 D What's this ?
:09:46.25 0:09:49.66 D Lieutenant ! Ensign Keith won't open the hatch.
:09:54.36 0:09:55.97 D Leave him alone.
:09:55.97 0:09:58.47 D Open each section manually !
:10:00.87 0:10:02.17 D Kou !
:10:03.58 0:10:04.58 D Nina.
:10:05.18 0:10:08.48 D Are you OK ? You've already gone out three times today.
:10:08.48 0:10:10.28 D Oh, you're all sweaty !
:10:13.79 0:10:15.59 D What's wrong ?
:10:15.59 0:10:17.99 D Uh... I smell kind of bad right now, I'm all sweaty.
:10:19.29 0:10:21.30 D That's silly.
:10:22.10 0:10:24.40 D Can't you smell the odor here ?
:10:24.40 0:10:28.40 D A closed space can be really awful.
:10:28.40 0:10:32.61 D Body heat and body odors, mixed with the smell of oil...
:10:32.61 0:10:35.00 D Will you please stop that ?
:10:35.81 0:10:38.20 D I'm sorry.
:10:38.20 0:10:40.82 D No...something must be wrong with me.
:10:40.82 0:10:42.02 D I'm sorry.
:10:50.53 0:10:53.53 D How was it ? Feel better now ?
:10:56.64 0:10:58.14 D Is he a POW ?
:10:58.14 0:10:59.54 D As you can see.
:10:59.54 0:11:03.05 D I'll squeeze out every bit of info about the Delaz Fleet from him.
:11:08.05 0:11:10.05 D Stop that, Lt. Monsha !
:11:10.05 0:11:11.86 D Worried about a treaty violation ?
:11:11.86 0:11:14.86 D Don't you know that it's no use trying to play by the rules ?
:11:16.26 0:11:20.77 D Scum without purpose like you are destined to be doomed.
:11:20.77 0:11:27.07 D Commander Gato...will resurrect the Nightmare of Solomon.
EARTH FEDERATION BASE KONPEI ISLAND
:12:07.52 0:12:11.02 D What do you think ? Isn't Konpei Island so tranquil ?
:12:11.02 0:12:13.13 D Do you see any Zions around here ?
:12:13.13 0:12:15.83 D Our plan is perfect, sir.
:12:15.83 0:12:20.64 D We've shot down thirty-seven enemy mobile suits so far.
:12:20.64 0:12:22.24 D To get us, they should raise the stakes.
:12:22.24 0:12:25.94 D What can they do with such a scattered attack ?
:12:26.54 0:12:30.55 D No wonder there are traitors among them.
:12:31.65 0:12:32.65 D Your Excellency...
:12:32.65 0:12:36.25 D It's about time to head for the flagship Birmingham.
:12:36.25 0:12:39.66 D A gentleman should always be on time.
:12:44.16 0:12:47.07 D Gentlemen ! This Naval Review...
:12:47.07 0:12:51.57 D ...is an excellent opportunity to show the Federation's power to the spacenoids.
:12:51.57 0:12:54.68 D The completion of the ceremony...
:12:54.68 0:12:57.40 D ...will mean the defeat of the Delaz Fleet.
:13:15.80 0:13:17.80 CF5 Mobile suits launching.
:13:17.80 0:13:19.81 CF5 All personnel, clear the area !
:13:19.81 0:13:21.41 CF5 Clear the area !
:13:48.24 0:13:49.94 D The time has come, Commander.
:13:49.94 0:13:51.74 D TO VICTORY !
:14:06.86 0:14:09.06 D The sky of old memories...
:14:09.96 0:14:13.77 D Gradol ! What about the attack signal ?
:14:13.77 0:14:19.45 D But...the success of this operation depends on the element of surprise !
:14:19.45 0:14:22.18 D If I fail because of it...
:14:22.18 0:14:24.98 D ...it means the heavens have forsaken me...
:14:24.98 0:14:28.19 D No, that will NOT happen ! FIRE !
:14:28.19 0:14:29.49 CF7 Roger !
:14:40.40 0:14:43.50 D Thank you. Now all that's left for us is to GO.
:14:57.52 0:14:59.62 D New targets sighted in Russel patrol area.
:14:59.62 0:15:03.90 D Monsha, Uraki, and Keith units, join Bate Platoon and intercept.
:15:10.54 0:15:14.24 D How long will this battle go on ?
:15:14.24 0:15:17.00 D Until I get Gato...
:15:17.00 0:15:19.85 D Course clear, Lt. Monsha. Good luck !
:15:20.25 0:15:22.25 CF7 Same to you.
:15:44.07 0:15:47.48 CF5 Universal Century 0079...
:15:47.48 0:15:53.29 CF5 ...the year of the One Year War, was the worst year in the history of mankind.
:15:53.29 0:15:57.49 CF5 I am very glad that we were able to overcome this difficulty...
:15:57.49 0:16:01.60 CF5 ...and now we are holding the great pageant of space, The Naval Review...
:16:01.60 0:16:08.00 CF5 ...which is the embodiment of the peace and stability of the Earth Sphere.
:16:08.00 0:16:13.61 CF5 The tradition of the Naval Review started in the Earth Year 1341 when Edward III...
:16:13.61 0:16:20.82 CF5 ...of England personally inspected the departing fleet during the 100-Year War.
:16:23.62 0:16:27.03 CF7 We can't allow some blind fools...
:16:27.03 0:16:30.63 CF7 ...to ravage the gift of the cosmos which we all should share...
:16:31.33 0:16:32.83 D Pathetic !
:16:32.83 0:16:36.84 D How can I allow the Federation to speak such foul words ?!
:16:46.55 0:16:47.90 D No, you don't !
:16:49.85 0:16:52.45 D Don't be reckless. You must endure this time.
:16:52.45 0:16:55.46 D Until we grab the glory that we can have only if we survive...
:16:55.46 0:16:58.36 D ...put your life in my hands.
:16:58.36 0:16:59.56 D Agreed ?
:17:08.37 0:17:12.45 D It is an INSULT to those who died here...
:17:12.45 0:17:15.68 D Commander, you shouldn't be concerned.
:17:16.58 0:17:19.45 D Now that we're here...
:17:19.45 0:17:24.19 D That's true. So we can blast away those Federation worms.
:17:24.99 0:17:27.30 D Karius ! How's our course ?
:17:27.30 0:17:32.10 D Compass normal, sir. And the Fed's speech is guiding us.
:17:32.10 0:17:35.41 D Good. I'll enter the bay.
:17:35.41 0:17:39.01 D All units except escorts, begin diversionary attack as planned !
:17:39.01 0:17:40.11 CF7 Roger !
:17:39.50 0:17:40.11 CF1 Roger !
:18:04.74 0:18:05.94 D W...with the gun ?
:18:12.45 0:18:15.75 D It wasn't this area, either. Where's the REAL enemy ?
:18:18.36 0:18:22.26 D Even if Gato's alone, he has a nuclear warhead.
:18:22.26 0:18:24.26 D It's a Mark 82 warhead.
:18:24.26 0:18:27.47 D Any reports on that signal sighted a moment ago ?
:18:27.97 0:18:32.07 D You think the enemy is stupid enough to signal that they're coming ?
:18:40.48 0:18:44.89 D Your Excellency, our forces are intercepting enemy units at A-3 and L-6.
:18:44.89 0:18:48.79 D It's clear that Delaz's target is this ceremony.
:18:49.89 0:18:53.20 D The Delaz Fleet will meet their doom in this sea.
:18:53.90 0:18:58.30 D I'll teach them the fate of their fleet without the aid of mobile suits.
:18:58.30 0:19:02.61 D Your Excellency, the 3rd Corps of the 11th Fleet is saluting from the left.
:19:48.06 0:19:49.56 D This is Guard Satellite !
:19:49.56 0:19:51.67 D This is Guard Satellite Four !
:19:53.87 0:19:56.47 D This is Orange 3. We're under enemy attack !
:19:56.47 0:19:57.87 D MAYDAY !
:20:06.18 0:20:07.78 D How weak.
:20:08.18 0:20:09.69 D They're here !
:20:19.30 0:20:21.80 D A large contingent of enemy mobile suits in Ramos patrol area.
:20:22.50 0:20:24.20 D Our forces are requesting reinforcements.
:20:24.20 0:20:27.01 D They're tough. Can they be the enemy's main force ?
:20:27.01 0:20:30.11 D Send them the mobile suits nearby !
:20:30.71 0:20:33.41 CF7 Lt. Bate ! Do you copy ?
:20:33.41 0:20:36.52 D Enemy contingent, possibly their main force, has been confirmed at Ramos patrol area.
:20:36.52 0:20:39.52 D Please rush to the scene. G-Block 77.
:20:39.52 0:20:42.42 CF7 Roger. I'm on my way.
:20:42.42 0:20:44.13 CF7 I'm starving.
:20:44.13 0:20:46.63 CF5 What happened to your duck dish ?
This is Uraki. Anything on Gundam Unit 2 ?
Has Gato been sighted ?
:20:51.03 0:20:52.84 CF5 No information at this point.
:20:52.84 0:20:55.54 CF5 We have no information at this point.
:21:06.65 0:21:10.46 D This place is still filled with debris from the Battle of Solomon.
:21:10.46 0:21:12.26 D Good for us.
:21:12.26 0:21:16.00 D With this kind of surrounding, the Federation punks can't detect us.
:21:16.87 0:21:19.67 D Is this sea mourning ?
:21:19.67 0:21:22.47 D As if they're trying to tell us something...
:21:22.47 0:21:24.97 CF7 They're welcoming us.
:21:24.97 0:21:28.10 D I...can hear it.
:22:04.82 0:22:06.22 D Uraki ! Behind you !
:22:20.00 0:22:21.74 D These bastards are pros !
:22:21.74 0:22:23.34 D Not like the ones before !
:22:31.15 0:22:34.16 D It'll be worse if Gato comes...
:22:40.30 0:22:43.07 D Karius ! Thank you for accompanying me here.
:22:43.07 0:22:44.57 D Now take cover.
:22:44.57 0:22:47.37 D It's not safe yet, sir. A little bit more.
:22:48.17 0:22:52.68 D How many times did I go out to battle from here, hiding from Federation eyes ?
:22:52.68 0:22:54.78 D With this, Operation Stardust will...
:23:08.00 0:23:09.30 D An unmanned satellite ?!
:23:15.60 0:23:17.41 D We've been noticed !
:23:24.21 0:23:27.42 D A new enemy ? Where ?
:23:27.82 0:23:30.22 D Two units at S-0 defense zone.
:23:30.22 0:23:32.32 D The video is being transferred, sir.

Alone in the deep darkness...
...you lose your way to the night.
Continuing to search for...
...the memory of a shining dawn.
Sometimes, destiny is...
...a wind that tests the heart.
Love is the sky that covers everything.
Showing the vision of tomorrow.
DREAMER.
Burning heartbeats...
That's what we have to bring back.
DREAMER.
The frozen dream...
...is beginning to shine again.
EVERGREEN.
Blinding light engulfed Konpei Island, and the trembling sky mourned.
The conspiracy of the Delaz Fleet proceeds smoothly.
Uraki's disgrace that can never be healed...
When the final battle between Gundam Unit 2 and Unit 1 had begun...
...the mirage of Stardust appeared before Uraki's eyes.
