Man, I think I'm in love.
How about you? What do you think of my G-Exes?
I guess it looks kind of like the Gundam.
Just like it! Just like it!
Don't sweat the small stuff.
The Gundam Titus was pretty strong,
but the G-Exes isn't a pushover either!
As vast as space is,
few out there can create a mobile suit of this caliber.
He must be an engineer who is the master of his craft.
Who was it? Who made the G-Exes?
Who was it? Who was it?
Hey, no need for interrogation.
Oh, maybe somebody's asking me on a date.
It ain't easy being popular.
Yes, this is Woolf Enneacle.
Oh, it's just you, old man Madorna.
Yeah, got it.
I'll be right there.
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.

Episode 9 The Secret Mobile Suit
Can't you fly a little less recklessly?!
Look, that's the Madorna Workshop.
There's a talented old guy there who built the G-Exes.
It's huge!
Mr. Woolf, we're gonna collide!
We're here.
We're alive...
Of course we are.
Don't underestimate the skills of an ex-racer.
But isn't it illegal to customize military mobile suits
except at Federation-authorized facilities?
Yeah.
But people like me keep giving him job requests
because the old man's just that good.
He's a craftsman with stubborn pride in his work.
Don't blame me if you regret following me here.
You idiot!
Are you trying to wreck my workshop?
Don't be so uptight!
It seemed like you needed something, so I came as fast as I could.
That's right.
Don't worry about it. Come on in, Woolf.
Hey, Laraparly, the reason that he takes things too far is because you always spoil him...
Quiet!
You're the one who's gonna wreck the place!
Do you think I don't know about the time you accidentally discharged a plasma cannon you were working on
and blew a giant hole in the wall!
Even the old man can't talk back to his wife.
Can't talk back! Can't talk back! Can't talk back!
Ahem... Anyway, there's something I want to show you.
Come to the factory block.
Roger!
Wow!
So this is the construction factory!
I can't believe a non-military facility is so well equipped!
I wish Grandpa could see this...
I bet he'd be really surprised!
Oh, wow!
There are Federation Forces units, and even some I've never seen before!
And that's not all.
They all look really customized!
W-Wait up, Dique!
Flit!
If there are this many units here, I bet I could find the perfect one for me!
Perfect one! Perfect one! Perfect one!
Hey, those aren't toys!
Don't touch them without permission!
Jeez, you've brought some really annoying kids with you.
They insisted on meeting you.
Jeez...
Hey, why not show them around?
All these are just prototypes you make in your free time anyway.
Prototypes?
That's right.
He was so excited about making Woolf's mobile suit...
"I'm not gonna let that Gundam beat me!"
"I wanna make one that's stronger! Cooler!"
So he said.
So the G-Exes was copied from the Gundam after all.
Well, but the G-Exes is still really awesome, old man.
Isn't it?
Take a look at this!
Not only are its close combat abilities increased with high-output beam sabers,
the external shield improves its defenses with additional armor.
I'm sure it could give the Gundam a run for its money.
But the Gundam has a higher speed along the axis of movement,
and the joint elasticity makes its frame more efficient at vibration control.
Oh? What's your name?
I'm Flit Asuno.
The pilot of the Gundam.
A-Asuno?!
Are you a member of the Asuno Family?
Uh, yes...
In that case, let me ask you a few questions...
This cooperative control system...
Why are guys all such idiots?
And my husband's the type of idiot who gets obsessed with huge mobile suits!
My goodness.
But my grandpa... my grandfather is the Gundam's engineer...
He said that whoever made the G-Exes is an engineer who is the master of his craft..
I guess fellow engineers can tell these things.
Aww, thanks.
You're really sweet.
Of course, the way he single-mindedly devotes himself to things is why I fell in love with him.
Right, darling?
You're getting along as well as ever.
So, old man, back to what we were talking about before. What did you want to show me?
Oh, I'd completely forgotten.
Look at this.
That's a...
No way!
That's a... UE mobile suit?!
What is this doing here?!
I thought so.
What's the meaning of this, Mr. Madorna?
Depending on your answer, even if it's you I won't...
If there's a reason, please tell me!
Calm down, you two.
Actually, this mobile suit was brought here at the request of a certain man.
My job is to improve its performance.
"A certain man"?
Who was this man?
He was...
Are you okay, Emily? Dique?
Hurry!
Everyone this way!
What the...?
Run away!
Why did it start moving all of a sudden?
I don't know.
But I know that if we don't do something, it's gonna kill us.
Mr. Madorna! Please lend us mobile suits to use!
Use the Shaldolls in the hangar!
Right!
Emily!
Are you okay?
Flit! Flit!
Don't let your guard down!
It's coming!
He's trying to get outside?
Flit!
You won't get away!
Damage report?
We're still confirming.
Your priority is recovery of station personnel.
Where's Flit?
Fighting outside.
I'm bringing it up on screen.
What about Mr. Woolf?
Flit!
That thing's sharp!
Where is it?
Are you okay, Flit?
I guess I can't push it any further.
Okay, I'll draw him away.
You get the Gundam.
Right!
Vargas, can you hear me?
Yeah, sure can.
Send out the Gundam!
D-Did something happen?
We're engaging a UE mobile suit!
Okay, the captain approved it!
Here it comes, Flit!
There it is!
Flit, the limit for unprotected exposure to hard vacuum is 15 seconds!
Don't forget to expel the air out of your lungs before you go out!
Roger!
That's crazy!
No you don't!
Your opponent is me!
Back to the sun... Matching relative speed...
Good!
Are you okay?!
Somehow!
Okay, looking good!
That's Flit for you!
It disappeared?
Beside you!
Now you've done it!
What?
Why you...!
We can't match his speed!
Flit!
Gundam!
That new heavyweight-class Gundam is not suited for fast enemies.
Don't let it get behind you!
But if it goes on like this, we won't be able to defeat it.
How can we match its speed?
The AGE System...
A new mobile suit, but he's still the same as ever?
Boring.
That's enough.
It retreated?
What's going on?
But it had the advantage...
Were you worried?
I want him to stop this, but he said he's going to fight.
I know he's doing it to protect everyone, but...
Making him stop... Do you want him to run from the fight?
Would that be what's best for him?
I think he's great.
He isn't running from anything.
If you really care about him,
then if he risks everything to fight, you should risk everything to be with him.
Risk everything... to be with him...
You like him, right?
You really like Flit, don't you?
If you do, then go and risk everything together.
Remote control, or maybe autopilot...
It's also possible the pilot was hiding somewhere.
That machine's shrouded in mystery.
What's for certain is that it was a UE mobile suit.
Yeah.
By the way, have you ever heard of the arms dealer Yark Dole?
Nope.
Yark Dole...
That's the name of the man who brought that black mobile suit.
He offered to pay a fortune.
When I first saw it I was excited,
but I was bothered that its design concepts were radically different from other mobile suits.
While I was investigating where it was developed,
I found some secret Federation data.
And guess what happened?
I saw records of it fighting the Federation.
That was proof beyond a shadow of a doubt that it was an enemy.
And that's why you contacted me?
It means I was unknowingly helping the UE.
I'm ashamed.
Don't blame him.
He didn't know anything.
I understand the situation.
But what's the connection between the UE and this arms dealer?
I honestly don't know.
But if Yark Dole was working for the UE,
then you may learn the truth about the UE if you find him.
Mr. Woolf...
Yeah.
Let's return to the Diva.
Yark Dole...
That name again?
I hear he's the man who gave Fardain their mobile suit blueprints.
Everyone, may I have your attention.
We have three days until we depart Fardain.
And our next destination...
...is Colony Tordia.
No.
We're changing the destination.
We'll be going to...
Colony Minsry.
Why in the world are we going there?!
Captain, please explain!
Until now, humanity has endured the brutality of the UE.
But any further violence is unforgivable.
I have thoroughly analyzed the data collected thus far,
and finally concluded that the UE are hiding in the abandoned space fortress Ambat.
We must not miss this chance.
What's he going to do?
He can't mean...
This vessel will form a fleet with two Euba ships and two Zalam ships, and attack the UE stronghold!
That's crazy, no matter the circumstance!
And to top it off, joining with a private fleet instead of the Federation... Central Command would never permit that.
I couldn't care less about the Federation.
I am not your captain.
Huh?
Um...
There's a reason for that.
A reason?
What reason?!
Adams!
If you know something, then tell us, Emily.
R-Right.
I overheard the previous captain talking.
It's an idiotic plan.
He wants to pull the core out of the colony, and he expects the Diva to control it!
We'll ignore him, of course.
The Diva will immediately retreat from the dangerous situation at Nora.
Then if the original captain was still in charge, the people of Nora would've...
Yes.
I didn't know who was right back then,
But now I know. What Mr. Grodek did was the right thing.
If the old captain was still in command, everybody at Nora would've been abandoned to die.
So... So...
Yeah, I could see Dian Fonroid doing that.
And without Captain Grodek's judgment, the Diva wouldn't have made it this far.
Mr. Woolf...
Miss Millais...
But what you've done is a major violation of military law.
That's unacceptable for a soldier.
The Federation Forces are already after me for mutiny.
But all of this is to defeat the UE!
The captain...
Mr. Grodek lost his family to a UE attack.
Flit is correct.
I despise the UE.
The Day Angel Fell...
That was the beginning of everything.
My wife and child were killed by the UE.
My daughter Sara was only seven.
I swore revenge on the UE that day.
Captain... No, Commander...
Are you going to drag us along on your revenge?
Of course I'm not going to force anyone to do that.
Come with me, and the Federation Forces will pursue you as mutineers.
If anyone wants to leave the Diva, you may leave now.
I will fight the UE even if I have to do it alone.
I'll fight with you!
Flit!
Flit...
This battle will be fierce.
I cannot guarantee you'll survive.
I lost my mom and dad, too!
If this keeps going, even more people will lose family and friends to the UE!
He beat me to the punch.
Mr. Woolf...
I'm coming too.
Nobody else in the Federation Forces would be dumb enough to pick a fight with the UE.
I'll go with you.
The Diva won't run without an operator.
Sounds good, Millie!
Of course, I'll help beat the UE too!
Me too.
Right?
Yes, we're members of the Diva crew now.
Enemy detection systems have picked something up!
Multiple moving objects, which appear to be UE!
Uh-oh. They came to us first.
Seems like the UE really mean to crush us this time.
Ready, Flit?
Of course!
All hands to Level 1 battle stations!
Roger!
Good luck, Flit.
Yeah!
Risk everything together...
Wh-What is this...?

Three destinies will form history...
Gundapedia Madorna Workshop
HHHHHHH
If you've watched all of Gundam AGE up until now, you should have 900 EXP! Check the "d" button on your remote!
HHHHHHHHHHHHH
In space, there is a society of freelance engineers unaffiliated with the Federation
that contracts for mobile suit development.
The Madorna Workshop is one of its most famous members.
No matter what mobile suit, they will customize it to perfection.
Look Forward To Next Time!
