EPISODE 12
ASSAULT ! CRITICAL INTERCEPT POINT
Universal Century 0083, November 12.
Operation Stardust, the purpose of which is to drop a colony on Earth...
...has entered its climax.
:03:05.46 0:03:08.26 D Enemy sighted ! 10 o'clock portside !
:03:13.17 0:03:15.07 D In front of us ?
:03:15.07 0:03:18.17 D The Earth Orbital Fleet couldn't have arrived yet.
:03:18.57 0:03:20.47 D I've heard nothing about it !
:03:20.97 0:03:23.18 D I'm going to the comm room !
This is Axis Fleet.
:03:29.98 0:03:33.94 D I'm sorry. We'll have to stand by and watch from the rear.
That's fine. You don't need to worry about us.
I'll leave the aftermath to you.
:03:39.29 0:03:41.79 D I swear by the honor of Axis.
:03:42.99 0:03:45.40 D It's hard to believe that we've made it this far.
:03:45.40 0:03:49.00 D With this fleet, I'm now doing the operation...
:03:49.00 0:03:52.90 D ...which required half of the Zion fleet in the past.
:04:34.44 0:04:36.44 D He's just big, that's all.
:05:04.07 0:05:05.27 D Status report.
:05:05.27 0:05:06.47 D Aye, sir.
:05:06.47 0:05:09.27 D The colony is at the halfway point between the moon and the Earth.
:05:09.27 0:05:11.97 D Gundam Unit 3 has made contact with it.
:05:11.97 0:05:14.38 D And the Axis Fleet, which declared itself neutral...
:05:14.38 0:05:15.48 D ...is retreating to the rear.
:05:16.48 0:05:19.38 D Although they're our enemy, this colony drop is an excellent plan...
:05:19.38 0:05:21.98 D ...making good use of the lessons of the One Year War.
:05:21.98 0:05:26.09 D Even Gundam Unit 3 can't handle it alone.
:05:26.09 0:05:29.15 D 14 hours before it collides with the Earth...
:05:29.15 0:05:31.19 D Only 9 hours before the game's over.
:05:31.19 0:05:34.15 D After that, the colony will pass the Critical Intercept Point.
:05:34.15 0:05:36.20 D Critical Intercept Point ?
:05:36.20 0:05:37.20 D Here.
:05:38.30 0:05:39.80 D If the colony goes beyond it...
:05:39.80 0:05:42.30 D ...there's no way we can stop something that heavy.
:05:42.90 0:05:45.30 D We have to recover the colony and change its course...
:05:45.30 0:05:46.71 D ...before it reaches that point.
:05:46.71 0:05:50.31 D Are there any propellants remaining ?
:05:55.71 0:05:57.31 D There must be !
:05:57.31 0:05:59.97 D For the final course adjustment to Jaburo !
:05:59.97 0:06:03.92 D Damn... What the hell is my Third Orbital Fleet doing ?
:06:04.42 0:06:06.52 D They're gathering at point 302 near the Critical Point...
:06:06.52 0:06:08.82 D ...to intercept the enemy.
:06:08.82 0:06:10.53 D They won't make it.
:06:10.53 0:06:13.23 D What's on the Admiral's mind ?
:06:34.25 0:06:36.45 D They're retreating ?
:06:37.55 0:06:39.55 D Where is he ?
:07:11.58 0:07:13.38 D The time for talking is over.
:07:20.99 0:07:22.19 D It's Gato !?
:07:22.59 0:07:24.39 D An I-Field !?
:07:35.10 0:07:36.60 D Him, too ?
:07:41.11 0:07:42.11 D Distance ?
:07:42.11 0:07:44.41 D 107,000 to the colony.
:07:44.41 0:07:48.21 D Captain ! 8 hours 22 minutes until the Critical Intercept Point.
:07:48.21 0:07:50.32 D Permission to launch mobile suits !
:07:50.32 0:07:51.42 D Not yet.
:07:51.42 0:07:54.42 D Not until Unit 3 breaches the enemy defense.
:07:55.42 0:07:58.62 D Can Lt. Uraki's body take the strain ?
:08:06.83 0:08:11.23 D I never imagined that we'd get involved in this kind of incident.
:08:11.54 0:08:13.24 D Come to think of it...
:08:13.24 0:08:16.64 D ...we've been haunted by the spectre of Zion.
:08:17.64 0:08:20.44 D Ever since we met the Gundam...
:08:47.47 0:08:49.77 D With my beams getting deflected like this...
:08:54.67 0:08:57.68 D Commander, with the unit armed mainly with beam weapons...
:08:57.68 0:08:59.68 D Don't interfere !
:08:59.68 0:09:01.28 D He's stopped moving ?
:09:11.69 0:09:13.09 D NOW !!!
:09:15.79 0:09:17.09 D The weapons - !
Gundam, this is the Albion.
We've caught up. Return to ship for resupply.
Return to ship.
:09:38.31 0:09:40.82 D If I hang on, I can breach the first line of defense !
:09:41.32 0:09:42.52 D Lt. Uraki !
:09:42.52 0:09:45.12 D You can't recover the colony alone !
:09:46.72 0:09:48.02 D Roger.
:10:20.35 0:10:25.16 D Now, the only problem is when the enemy will appear on our front.
:10:25.16 0:10:28.96 D The Fed's Earth Orbital Fleet is made up mostly of Salamis-class ships.
:10:28.96 0:10:30.56 D There isn't much to worry about.
:10:37.47 0:10:41.97 D But you couldn't have imagined Gato being thrown off-guard, could you ?
:10:43.87 0:10:46.47 D Unexpected things do happen.
:10:46.47 0:10:48.78 D Gato is doing fine.
:10:50.88 0:10:54.08 D Unexpected things DO happen...
This is the 73rd Fleet.
Refueling completed. We'll go ahead.
:11:20.40 0:11:23.71 D Admiral, we'll resume pursuit.
:11:23.71 0:11:25.71 D Even if we can't catch up with the enemy...
:11:25.71 0:11:27.71 D ...let us take care of the aftermath.
:11:28.71 0:11:30.01 D Huh ?
:11:30.01 0:11:32.82 D What did you just say ?
:11:56.34 0:11:59.44 D Begin replacing the weapon container ! Take it out !
:12:16.45 0:12:17.96 D Nina...
:12:46.58 0:12:47.78 D A pursuit party ?
:12:47.78 0:12:49.78 D Pull back !
:12:49.78 0:12:52.59 D The enemy ? We've been followed ?
:12:52.59 0:12:54.59 D Mora, I'm taking the Stamen out !
:12:54.59 0:12:55.99 D Please clear the way.
:12:56.69 0:12:59.49 D No way ! You're in no condition to fight !
:13:10.30 0:13:11.90 D They broke through !
:13:22.41 0:13:23.82 D I'm going !
:13:34.02 0:13:36.23 D Men are really...
:13:49.04 0:13:50.44 D Admiral...
:14:00.65 0:14:04.95 D If we surround the enemy too tightly, they'll fight to the death.
:14:05.35 0:14:07.55 D I didn't ask you !
:14:07.55 0:14:10.16 D Admiral, what's on your mind ?
:14:10.16 0:14:14.16 D I mean, what are you trying accomplish ?
:14:14.16 0:14:17.26 D We should move the Earth Orbital Fleet to the front line...
:14:22.07 0:14:25.07 D Jamitov, you bastard...
:14:25.07 0:14:26.57 D We don't have time.
:14:26.57 0:14:29.77 D Please stop thinking about some strange scheme and order the fleet to attack...
:14:29.77 0:14:32.15 D What the hell are you doing ? Let me go !
:14:32.15 0:14:33.18 D Admiral !
:14:33.18 0:14:34.78 D We don't have any time left !
:14:35.58 0:14:39.98 D Why did Unit 3 fall into the Albion's hands ?
:14:46.99 0:14:49.69 D We can't count on the likes of Cima Fleet.
:14:50.09 0:14:51.69 D We'll do it !
:14:51.69 0:14:53.30 D With our own hands !
But... your body won't take the strain...
:14:57.70 0:14:59.10 D Gradol.
:14:59.10 0:15:01.10 D That Gundam...
:15:01.10 0:15:04.00 D ...only I can defeat him.
Commander...
:15:07.01 0:15:11.31 D Never before I have looked at the Earth with such excitement in my heart.
:15:17.22 0:15:21.02 D I'll defeat the Gundam before the enemy appears on our front.
:15:47.64 0:15:48.95 D Simone...
:15:48.95 0:15:51.05 D ...how many hours left ?
We've just finished supplying.
:15:53.75 0:15:56.85 D No, I mean till the time limit.
3 hours and 11 minutes.
:15:59.96 0:16:01.66 D Nina...
:16:02.36 0:16:06.36 D No time left, and no idea when friendly forces will arrive...
:16:07.16 0:16:09.06 D Nina Purpleton.
:16:11.77 0:16:14.07 D Yes ?
:16:14.07 0:16:16.57 D I grant you permission to use the lifeboat.
:16:16.57 0:16:19.17 D Please leave this ship immediately.
:16:30.48 0:16:32.08 D Captain Synapse...
:16:32.08 0:16:35.94 D I'm determined to see this through to the very end.
:16:35.94 0:16:38.49 D I'm sorry.
:16:39.09 0:16:41.59 D But the military won't pay your salary.
:16:42.19 0:16:44.90 D Alright ! Power at secondary battle speed for five minutes...
:16:44.90 0:16:47.10 D ...then change to primary battle speed !
:17:01.11 0:17:04.01 D Cima's fleet has advanced too far.
:17:04.41 0:17:06.42 D Understand ? Be alert !
:17:06.42 0:17:08.12 D Remember, we have nowhere to return to !
:17:19.63 0:17:22.03 D Madame Cima, sensor readings to our front.
:17:22.03 0:17:23.23 D It's time.
:17:24.43 0:17:26.43 D Perfect timing.
:17:34.74 0:17:37.24 D Don't go, Gato.
:17:44.05 0:17:47.55 D Captain, we've picked up something portside ! A light !
:17:47.55 0:17:49.75 D What ? In Earth's direction ?
:17:49.75 0:17:51.26 D Can you zoom in ?
:17:56.96 0:17:59.16 D Earth Orbital Fleet...
:17:59.16 0:18:02.37 D No, what's that ? That array is...
:18:02.97 0:18:05.07 D A WISHBONE formation !
:18:25.49 0:18:27.69 D That ship isn't retreating.
:18:27.69 0:18:29.49 D They must be determined.
:18:33.79 0:18:35.09 D It's him ?!
:18:40.30 0:18:41.90 D Gato !
:18:59.32 0:19:00.92 D COMMANDER !
:19:11.83 0:19:13.83 D Distance to Critical Intercept Point ?
:19:13.83 0:19:17.03 D 10,200. 21 minutes to go.
:19:17.43 0:19:18.83 D After that point...
:19:18.83 0:19:21.34 D ...even those annoying bastards'll stop being so noisy.
:19:24.44 0:19:26.84 D What do you have in mind ?
:19:26.84 0:19:31.45 D Weren't you planning to court the Feds, using me and my fleet as bait ?
:19:31.45 0:19:34.65 D Are you going to drop the colony - or NOT ?
:19:36.05 0:19:38.25 D Shut up, you old man !
:19:38.75 0:19:40.75 D The enemy's breached the first line of defense.
:19:40.75 0:19:41.95 D They're closing in !
:19:42.36 0:19:43.76 D What ?
:19:56.67 0:19:58.27 D Monsha, behind you !
:19:58.87 0:20:01.17 D I'm not that good !
:20:07.98 0:20:10.38 D A direct hit on the port MS catapult.
:20:10.38 0:20:12.68 D Simone, the time ?
:20:12.68 0:20:13.88 D The time ?
:20:14.98 0:20:16.39 D 4 minutes left.
:20:24.39 0:20:26.59 D DIE !
:20:33.20 0:20:34.50 D The colony - !
:20:39.11 0:20:40.81 D THE I-FIELD !
:20:45.41 0:20:47.21 D It's too late.
:20:49.52 0:20:51.72 D 50 seconds left.
:21:02.63 0:21:04.83 D 30 seconds to go.
:21:39.76 0:21:43.36 D It...passed the Critical Intercept Point...
:21:46.47 0:21:48.97 D The colony's headed...
:21:48.97 0:21:50.57 D ...for Earth.
:21:55.37 0:21:57.28 D It's not over yet.
:21:57.28 0:22:00.05 D We can't let it fall on Jaburo.
:22:00.05 0:22:01.28 D Captain.
:22:01.28 0:22:03.68 D We're receiving a message from the First Orbital Fleet.
:22:04.38 0:22:06.38 D What !?
:22:06.38 0:22:09.19 D They're saying that the Delaz Fleet has ceased fire.
:22:10.99 0:22:12.59 D What do they mean by that ?
:22:18.30 0:22:19.90 D CEASEFIRE !?
:22:19.90 0:22:21.00 D THIS CAN'T BE !
:22:36.11 0:22:37.31 D This is G-21.
:22:37.31 0:22:39.71 D We've finished laying out the upper passage of the Solar System.
:22:39.71 0:22:41.52 D This is left wing W-11 Unit.
:22:41.52 0:22:43.62 D We're having problems. We need reinforcements !
:22:44.02 0:22:45.82 D There are operational errors !
:22:45.82 0:22:49.12 D Hurry ! The enemy is right in front of us !
:22:53.73 0:22:56.13 D A Solar System...
:22:56.13 0:22:58.33 D That's right.
:22:59.73 0:23:03.64 D They had a card up their sleeve to stop the colony from falling.
:23:03.64 0:23:07.24 D With just a little warming up... boom.
:23:08.54 0:23:11.54 D Damn you ! Do you still consider yourself Zion ?
:23:12.34 0:23:14.65 D This is how I've survived !
:23:14.65 0:23:17.55 D Despite being treated like shit by the brass...
:23:17.55 0:23:19.75 D ...who are living comfortably in Side 3 !
:23:20.15 0:23:23.35 D If there's a good enough reason, I'll switch sides !
:23:28.36 0:23:30.26 D Your Excellency !
:23:30.26 0:23:33.56 D What a pity. How foolish of me...
:23:33.56 0:23:36.97 D ...trying to guide one without the soul of Zion.
:23:37.97 0:23:40.87 D I'll go out of business the day I'm ``guided''...
:23:40.87 0:23:42.87 D ...to some out-of-the-way place like Axis !
:23:42.87 0:23:45.87 D Cima, you ungrateful worm !
:23:47.28 0:23:49.58 D Don't move, Gato.
:23:49.58 0:23:52.18 D Accept your fate gracefully like a defeated general.
What ?!
:23:53.38 0:23:56.88 D I don't want to damage my gift to the Federation.
:24:17.00 0:24:19.80 D GO ON, GATO.
:24:25.71 0:24:29.11 D Gato...carry on our cause.
:24:29.11 0:24:31.41 D The colony is still in our hands.
:24:32.32 0:24:34.32 D What the...? Have you gone mad ?
:24:34.32 0:24:37.42 D Step over my dead body and carry on.
:24:37.42 0:24:38.72 D SHUT UP !
:24:40.22 0:24:43.33 D Do you want to disgrace me with the worst punishment of space ?
YOU FOOL !
The Solar System is aiming at us !
:24:47.53 0:24:49.73 D Y...You must be out of your mind !
:24:51.93 0:24:53.63 D Your Excellency...
:24:53.63 0:24:55.64 D SIEG ZION.
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.
The conspiracy proceeds...
...covering the sky of betrayal...
...and a new age emerges.
Will the colony finally reach the Earth ?
A reunion of love and hate occurs amidst the battle.
Now, what will Uraki see at the end of the war ?
An era fades away.
UC 0083 is coming to an end.
