Flit!
What are you doing?
Oh, I was looking at the combat data from when that kid was fighting yesterday.
Just who was he?
The one you met, who piloted the Gundam?
Yeah.
His name was Desil.
I can't believe a little kid piloted the Gundam.
But Desil did it. He defeated the UE in the Gundam.
Effortlessly...
He was way more impressive than I was.
Anyways, I got you a ticket too.
Ticket?
A standard ticket to Tordia, where we're being resettled.
It leaves in five days.
Emily...
I'm not going to Tordia.
It is the space age, hundreds of years after people began to emigrate to space colonies.
The wars that were once fought for control of the Earth Sphere had ended,
and it seemed that an era of peace had arrived.
However, this fleeting peace collapsed.
A colony was destroyed by an unidentified enemy that suddenly appeared.
The curtain was rising on a new battle that would continue over 100 years.
bokura ga miageta ashita no taiyou
We looked up at the sun that was to be
bokura ga miageta ashita no taiyou
We looked up at the sun that was to be
sora no kumo kootte furisosoida
as it rained ice from frozen skies
kokoro no sukima wo neratte tsukisasaru uta
We sang a song that knifed into our hearts
tometeita jikan ga ugokidashite
and frozen time resumed once more
kibou no hikari ni mukau michi wa
Walking the path that leads towards the lights of hope
machigai ja nai to jibun de kimeta n da
is not a mistake, of that I am sure
hiraiteiku ten no mado kara sasu you na mune no itami
I feel a pain in my heart like a lance from the brightening sky
mabushisugiru hodo
So much that they blind me
shinka suru hibi shinka suru uta wa
These days and our song evolve
haseru haseru haseru haseru
Running running running running
haseru haseru haseru haseru

So that they will never rust
owari no nai owari no nai
I'm already running
asu he asu he asu he asu he
towards the endless, endless
asu he asu he asu he asu he

days of tomorrow
Episode 6 The Light and Shadow of Fardain
Goodbye, darling.
Goodbye, Papa!
I'll be gone for a few days, but I'll be sure to bring you back a present.
Yay! I love you, Papa!
You sure love your presents, don't you?
Bad news, Grodek!
It's Colony Angel...
That's where your home is, right?
Here.
If you're tired, why not rest in the Captain's quarters?
The crew on duty will continue to monitor for the UE.
I'm leaving.
Where are you going?
Out.
Out...?
I've upgraded the armor so it's double-layered.
As long as you don't take a direct hit, you'll be fine.
Woolf! What's wrong?
I'll be back in a bit.
Don't worry, I've got permission.
I'm just going to an old haunt of mine.
An old haunt?
Are there places like that in space?
What do you mean you're not going to Tordia, Flit?
I'm staying on the Diva.
I'm going to formally volunteer for the Federation Forces.
Are you serious?
I'm sorry. You and Dique go to Tordia without me.
You're not obligated to fight!
I know about your mom, and that you hate the UE, but...
No, that's not it.
Even if I can't be something amazing like a savior,
I have to do something about them.
I want to save everyone with the Gundam.
But... You might die!
I've already made up my mind about this.
Why?
Why did you decide that on your own? Well, suit yourself!
Emily!
Now then, where's old Madorna?
Hey, if it isn't Woolf!
Hey, old man, you're looking good!
What, did you get bored with your last mobile suit?
No, that's not it, but...
I met one that sparked my imagination.
Hey, Woolf!
Welcome!
Well, if it isn't the wife! Hello again!
Glad to see you're looking well.
So, what was it like?
This is...
Where'd you get this picture?!
You recognize it?
It looks just like the legendary machine that every mobile suit craftsman knows about.
They say that one with a face like this achieved many great victories in wars long ago.
Oh yeah? The Gundam did, huh?
Gundam?
Even the name matches the legend...
So where is it?
I'll let you see it some time.
But first, you're going to do some work for me.
Work?
You can't mean...
Yeah. That's right.
I'm ordering something better than a Gundam.
Painted white, like always.
Where did you go, Emily?
We're not allowed outside because of the UE.
We need to go back right away...
Where would Emily be likely to go?
Emily! Emily!
Emily! Emily! Emily!
Haro...
Emily!
Flit!
What are you doing? They told us not to go outside!
Let's get back to the port.
You don't even know how I feel...
Emily...
What?
A mobile suit?
What's it doing in the city?
What?
They're fighting in the middle of the city?! We have to run!
What's going on?
Everybody's gone...
These defensive walls are protecting the city.
Are they fighting the UE?
No!
But if it's not the UE, why are fellow mobile suits fighting each other?
This is really bad!
What should we do?
We need to find someplace to hide!
Yeah!
Is someone in there? Let us in!
Is there an entrance somewhere?
Hey!
Over here, you two!
Hurry!
Let's go.
Yeah.
That was close.
You saved us. My name is Flit Asuno.
I'm Emily Amonde.
Haro! Haro!
Iwark Bria.
Is this underneath the colony?
It's the gap between the inner and outer walls of the colony.
This is where we live.
A town in a place like this...
Only big shots with plenty of money can live up above.
Everybody else has to live in this underworld.
That's horrible...
You might say that we're the shadow cast by Fardain.
Shadow...
Papa!
Oh, Riria!
Look at all the scrap metal I found!
I think it'll be enough to buy dinner tomorrow!
She's so tiny...
Drink up.
Thank you.
Thanks again for your help.
You're gonna die if you hang around places like those.
Hey, miss!
Where'd you come from? What do you do?
I'm from a place called Nora.
Nora, huh?
So you aren't from around here. I knew it. So why did you come here to Fardain?
Nora was destroyed by the UE.
I see. I'm sorry to hear that.
Hey, hey! What kind of place is Nora?
Does it have amusement parks?
Come now Riria, Papa's having an important conversation right now.
You go play in the other room.
No! I want to talk to them too!
Riria! Riria!
Haro! Haro!
So cute!
She's a very cheerful child.
I found her abandoned, and raised her as my daughter.
That's the kind of place this is.
Do those battles happen a lot?
Yeah.
It's a remnant of the Colony Nation Wars.
Colony Nation Wars...
That was a big war that broke out in the Earth Sphere, wasn't it?
Yes. There have been many colonies floating in space since generations before we were born...
Once the number of colonies grew too large, they split into two factions—the Zalam Union and the Euba Alliance—
and fought a massive war.
Decades later, the fighting ended.
But the damage was incredible.
In order to keep it from ever happening again,
humanity decided to abandon all weapons of war like mobile suits.
That was the Silver Chalice Treaty.
It was supposed to bring peace to space...
So why is there still fighting?
Memories written in blood beget hatred.
And so the fighting continues without end.
What started in the old nations, continues here in this colony.
But it's pointless!
That's right. There's no point.
The people above are living lives of luxury,
but they spend all their time clashing over trivial ideologies.
And the consequences of their war get pushed onto us, so we're forced to live like this!
I'm here to see the president, Don Boyage.
Mr. Eric Sterner from the Maiden Lambrick Corporation, yes?
You aren't Eric Sterner, are you?
I came to make a deal.
A deal? Who are you?
Captain of the Earth Federation Forces warship Diva, Grodek Ainoa.
What's a Federation officer doing in a place like this?
I know you deal in mobile suits and warships here at this colony.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Yes, Don is right!
And that's that, so I ask that you leave now.
I want four warships.
I said I don't know anything about it.
In exchange for the military weapons database, Folder EZ7.
Classified military information?!
You're going to sell it to me?
All weapons data has been discarded since the Silver Chalice Treaty,
so weapon blueprints should warrant a high price.
It's just a deal like any other.
Jeez...
You're pretty crooked for a soldier.
Yes, Don is right!
I don't want to hear that from you.
From pigs who stuff their pockets by starting useless battles
in the name of the old nations.
What? You can't—
Very well. Why don't we talk somewhere else?
Bring the car. We're taking our guest to the mansion.
What's that?
Don't worry about it. It's nothing special.
Hey, speed it up!
That noise...
Another battle?
Riria...
Riria?
Where are you, Riria?
She couldn't have...
Mr. Iwark?
Let's check it out!
Yeah.
Mr. Iwark, what's wrong?
Riria's gone. I think she went to the city above.
What should we do?
We go save her. What else?
But there's a battle up there!
That's why we have to go!
There's a mobile suit here...?
If you're coming with me, then get in!
I'm coming!
Will we fit in there?
It's cramped.
Deal with it.
Riria... where are you?
What are they doing? There are more important enemies to fight!
Damn it. Because of them, this colony is...
Come in.
Riria!
Papa!
Riria!
Riria...
She's just knocked out.
Thank goodness...
Damn them!
Flit, Emily! Take care of Riria!
Mr. Iwark?
Today, they're going to pay!
Mr. Iwark, don't be reckless!
Mr. Iwark!
Flit...
He can't do it in that mobile suit.
What's going to happen to him?
War is making people suffer again...
Vargas!
What's wrong, Flit?
I've encountered a mobile suit battle in the Altarka area.
I need the Gundam!
Using the Gundam inside the colony...
Please, Vargas! I'll explain later!
I'll make you all pay!
If it weren't for you...
At this rate, Mr. Iwark is going to...
Where's Vargas?
I'm here, Flit!
Vargas!
I'm not done yet!
It's because of you... because of your absurd fights...
Mr. Iwark, can you hear me? It's Flit!
Flit?
A mobile suit?
Are you piloting that mobile suit?
Please get back, Mr. Iwark! You can't win with that mobile suit!
What are you talking about? Do you know what I had to go through to get—
But it's a worker type!
It can't fight!
That mobile suit's finished.
Get out and go somewhere safe!
Adults can't run away and let kids do the fighting for them!
It doesn't matter whether you're an adult or a kid!
You need to survive, no matter what!
But...
Do you want to leave Riria all alone?
Riria needs you.
Mr. Iwark...
You're right.
Flit...
The DODS rifle will damage the city.
Who is he?
He's just a boy.
Flit is... just a boy.
There's a battle underway in the residential area.
These are the civil wars of Fardain...
Skirmishes between Zalam and Euba.
What a foolish colony.
The Gundam?!
Why is the Gundam deployed there? Nobody told me!
So...
What are you trying to do?
Destroy the UE stronghold.
What?
And to do it, I need military strength.
You're an interesting man.
They're withdrawing...
That mobile suit!
Is it the UE?!
And a new one? What's it doing here?
Do you like watching battles too?
It's the UE.
What?
I can't just keep dodging it!
At this range...
It deflected the beam?!
If we keep fighting like this, the city will be destroyed!
What should I do, Gundam?!
Is there anything for close quarters combat?
The weapons are too powerful.
Hand-to-hand fighting with the Gundam...
There's no time for analysis!
It's gone...
Unidentified mobile suit that destroyed our city!
You are completely surrounded!
Do not resist!
You're wrong! It was the UE!
If I didn't fight, there would've been even more damage!
You're under arrest!
What the heck?!
This is an interesting turn of events.
Flit!
Zalam caught him.
No. It's not like that!
I... I protected the city!

The two forces of Zalam and Euba fight a meaningless battle.
And then, the Gundam gains a new power...
Next time, on Mobile Suit Gundam AGE...
"Evolving Gundam."
Evolving Gundam
Three destinies will form history...
Gundapedia Zalam and Euba
HHHHHH
To get the password, watch for it in the middle of next week's broadcast!
HHHHHHHHHHHHH
Long ago, there were what are known as the Colony Nation Wars,
where the colonies split into factions and waged war on each other.
Among them were the powerful Zalam and Euba factions.
Even now that the war's over, they still continue to skirmish in small groups.
Look Forward To Next Time!
