Someone died in battle again...
The battles are getting bigger.
I decided I would fight.
But Mom... Did I make the right choice?
This is how I'm supposed to be using the Gundam, right?
Yurin...
Emily! Emily!
Flit, what's that?
It's nothing.
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

Running running running running

So that they will never rust

I'm already running

Episode 11 Reunion at Minsry
Old man, do you know what Minsry's like?
They say it was made to look like Old Earth, and that it's the most beautiful colony of all.
I've never seen it myself, though.
It's a neutral colony that refused to join the Federation after the ancient national wars, right?
Something like that.
But Captain Grodek sure is daring.
He's gathering forces at Minsry to attack a fortress, despite being pursued himself.
Where's Lieutenant Woolf?
He was here just a second ago.
I see.
Oh, Millie.
Stop calling me that.
Don't you have to check or tune your mobile suit?
I have faith in our mechanics, you see.
Anyway, I don't see you here often.
I wanted your opinion on something.
My opinion?
About this fight.
Deep down, I feel like something's not right.
Is this really the best choice?
You too, huh?
What?
Don't you have anything to say?
Well, you know...
Looks like there was no point in asking you.
Is there anyone who doesn't have doubts
before going into a battle where they might die?
It's only human to be doubtful.
Right?
You're right.
Those two...
Preparing to dock at Minsry.
This is the rendezvous point?
An old friend of Boyage, huh?
This boat will take us to the Birmings mansion located in the nature preserve.
We'll hold our strategy conference there.
This feels good.
I've never seen nature like this before.
It's peaceful.
This is Minsry...
It may be a neutral colony, but we don't know where enemy or Federation eyes might be.
Stay alert.
So Old Earth used to be filled with nature like this, huh?
It's beautiful.
Truly a place worthy of my presence.
But to lend us a mansion and provide support for the operation,
just what kind of man is this Birmings?
I don't know.
He may be an old friend of Don Boyage, but can we trust him?
Even if we can't trust him, we're going to have to rely on him.
Let's just take it as it comes.
That Grodek guy wants to use the AGE system to augment the Diva's combat capabilities.
Can it even do that?
We're only docked at Minsry for two weeks, right?
Is there enough time...?
The AGE System was originally developed exclusively to evolve the Gundam.
I don't know if it can be used on a warship.
The captain says the craziest things.
It may be crazy, but we have to try it anyway.
That's how important this battle is.
How about this?
Oh!
Look at that!
It worked!
This is...
The new combat configuration of the Diva.
Combat configuration... does that mean it can transform?!
I don't know the details yet.
What's this thing attached here?
A high-output beam weapon, the photon blaster cannon.
It's more powerful than the Federation's main weapon, the hyper mega particle cannon.
Wow!
Now we'll be able to take on that big UE warship, won't we?
The question is whether we can make all these modifications while we're at Minsry.
Maybe it's impossible...
I know somebody who might be able to help!
What?
Let's go.
I'm told the Birmings mansion is up this way.
It's wonderful to be able to live in the middle of a forest like this...
What's wrong, Flit?
Please go on ahead!
Flit!
Let him go.
Young boys are full of curiosity.
Yurin!
Flit...?
I knew it was you.
I'm sorry, I must have startled you.
What are you doing here?
The Diva is docked here.
There's no doubt now that they're here.
We will now locate and detain Captain Grodek.
This is unbelievable.
What kind of colony refuses a Federation Forces intervention?
Is this the place?
What an amazing mansion.
Quite tasteful, too.
Alzack Birmings.
A man so rich and influential that he's referred to as the ruler of Minsry.
How elegant.
Mr. Grodek.
I've been informed of your plan.
I am Alzack Birmings.
I'm sorry to hear about Boyage.
I didn't think anything could kill him.
We were saved by his brave actions.
I have decided to assist you in any way possible.
You're carrying out Boyage's wishes, after all.
We're very grateful.
Speaking of which, Boyage told me about a certain brave young man.
You mean Flit?
Flit...
I was taken in here at Minsry...
Taken in?
I lost my mom, my dad, and my little brother in a UE attack.
I was left all alone.
The UE...
I was sent to a facility at Nora.
Then I was told that somebody had come to adopt me.
Somebody who would be my father.
But I couldn't accept that.
I didn't want a new family...
So that's why I ran away back then.
And then you and the Gundam...
If I hadn't met you, I don't know what would've happened.
Me too.
I'm the same.
I lost my mom and dad to the UE.
So I decided to fight.
With the Gundam my mom left for me...
I see...
Hey, Flit.
Would you let me ride in the Gundam again?
Sure.
I want to float around in space,
and count the constellations.
I mean the real stars, not the fake ones projected on the colony walls.
We can see lots of them in space,
so whoever finds the most wins, or something.
You like the stars?
I love them.
I can forget about everything when I look at them.
And it'd be fun to do it with you.
Here.
My ribbon.
You kept it?
It was like a good luck charm.
I felt like it protected me while I was fighting.
Then I think you should keep it.
So it'll always protect you.
Your daughter?
She's not my real child.
I wanted a daughter so I adopted her when she was orphaned.
But... she still hasn't warmed up to me.
Even after I took pity on her, and tried to raise her.
I don't know what could make her open her heart.
Oh, so it's you!
Madorna, the man said to be the best mobile suit craftsman in the Earth sphere.
I've heard most of your plan.
It's going to be a pretty ridiculous overhaul.
Normally, people would write it off as impossible.
That's right.
Okay then!
Since I'm not normal, I'm the only one who can do it.
Got it. I'll do it.
Really?
First Woolf, and now you.
Everyone around me asks for the craziest things.
We were unable to locate Grodek aboard the Diva.
It appears he's gone to see Alzack Birmings.
Very well.
Then we will follow Grodek.
Continue to monitor the Diva.
Yes, sir!
So you're Flit?
Yes.
Boyage spoke of you.
Is it true you stopped the civil war on Fardain?
I don't know if I was the one who stopped them.
But Mr. Boyage and Mr. Ract understood what I had to say.
Your words moved adults who were stuck in the past.
You may just be able to right the twistedness of this world.
That's why I went along with this reckless plan.
We want to defeat the UE.
The UE that stole what we cared for.
That's all.
Is that what drives you?
However, overly strong feelings may lead you to destruction.
Be careful.
Yes, sir.
I'm glad I could talk to you.
Mr. Birmings...
Please give Yurin a family.
It may take time.
But a family is what Yurin needs.
Please.
I'd like to think that's what I want as well.
Flit.
We need to prepare for the operation now.
yasashisa ni yorisoiatte
We sat close with tenderness all around,
itsumade mo issho ni
and wondered how wonderful it would be
irareta nara donna ni
if we could be together
ii no ni to negau
forever and ever
sabishii toki omoidashite
When loneliness strikes me
sugoshita hibi
I remember the days we spent together
Yurin, tomorrow is the final day.
I'll be leaving once tomorrow's strategy meeting is over.
So we won't see each other anymore?
Even though we've finally become friends.
Am I going to be all alone again?
Yurin, I'll come back.
I'll come back when the fighting's over.
And then we can see each other again.
Really?
Yeah, I promise.
Flit!
Flit...
Yurin...
So we can finally get started?
Being stuck in a forest for two weeks doing nothing is going to leave me out of shape.
This is our target, space fortress Ambat.
It was once a Federation space station, but it was abandoned due to age.
And the UE have made their nest there?
So what kind of life form are the UE?
Questions later.
I will now explain the operation plan.
Given our situation, our only choice is to conserve our fighting strength
while using the concentrated fire of our fleet to divide their forces as we advance.
Our mobile suit squad will take advantage of the attack to approach and infiltrate the fortress.
So we use our ships to open a path, and then send in the mobile suits.
Then who's gonna protect the fleet?
Their mobile suit-types will be targeting you.
The fleet's escort will consist of the bare minimum number of mobile suits.
In other words...?
The Diva's mobile suit squadron.
I figured you'd say that.
We thank you for your cooperation.
Goodbye.
Yurin!
Yurin...
When the fighting's over, I'll come back to see you.
We can finally return to the Diva.
Space really is where I belong.
Something's wrong.
Yeah, I smell something.
The scent of battle.
What?
The Federation Forces?
I've found you, rebel.
Grodek Ainoa!
Surrender immediately!
Okay, be a good boy now.
Get on board.
Mr. Grodek...
This is the end.
We'll never be able to attack the UE now.
Well, what'll we do now?
There's nothing we can do.
It's the Federation we're talking about here...
After coming so far...
It can't be over now!
No, it's not over until you give up.
I can't let any more children suffer like Yurin.
I won't let the UE get away with doing whatever they want!
Let's do it.
There's still time.
We can save Mr. Grodek!
What are you talking about?
Let's fight the UE!
If the Federation Forces won't do it, then let's do it ourselves!
If we can destroy the space fortress Ambat, even the Federation Forces might decide to fight!
You're right. It may just be the kick in the pants the gutless Federation needs.
Flit...
I'm in.
I'll go with Flit's plan!
So what are you going to do, Flit?
I'll use the Gundam.
I've read your file.
So you're trying to take revenge for your family?
Fighting aliens beyond your comprehension.
What's beyond my comprehension is the Federation.
What?
The Federation Forces are hiding the true identity of the UE.
What are you talking about?
Well...
Tell me, what do you know?
What?!
It's the Gundam?!
I'm just going to rescue Mr. Grodek.
I don't want any casualties.
Please don't get in my way.
Flit, take it easy now!
Fire at will!
Allies fighting each other?
Gotta keep this battle under control...
Damn!
I won't hurt you!
Stay still!
It won't be that easy.
Damn rebels!
I've decided to fight!
Don't get in my way!
It wiped out the Genoaces in seconds!
Commander, what do we do?
Fire up the boat!
We can't lose Grodek!
Sorry.
It would be unwise for you to try anything.
You're not with the Federation Forces either?
There's a lot of people in the Federation Forces.
Some people are easy to get along with, and some aren't.
I'm borrowing this.
And you're going to give us all your communication devices.
There's no turning back now.
By saving a rebel, you became rebels yourselves.
I guess so.
Not that I care.
How dramatic.
Anyway, let's hurry back.
If we don't get back soon, the Federation Forces will get their hands on the Diva.
Is the fleet ready?
Okay, pick us up at outer hatch 48.
We'll capture them in space.
I prefer it this way.
Looks like we managed to make it in time.
It doesn't look any different...
Listen, old man.
You know how this ship works, right?
So we'll be testing it out in the field, huh?
It's going to start soon...
