Some of you think this is madness.
I want you to decide for yourselves if you're coming with me.
I'll come along.
All the crew aboard the ship feel the same way.
The rebel,
Grodek Ainoa!
Surrender immediately!
I won't let the UE get away with doing whatever they want!
There's no turning back now.
By saving a rebel, you became rebels yourselves.
Is the fleet ready?
We'll capture them in space.
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.

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

as it rained ice from frozen skies

We sang a song that knifed into our hearts

and frozen time resumed once more

Walking the path that leads towards the lights of hope

is not a mistake, of that I am sure

I feel a pain in my heart like a lance from the brightening sky

So much that they blind me

These days and our song evolve

Running running running running

Are we ready to launch?
Y-Yes. We'll be finished in just a moment.
All right.
Episode 12 The Rebels Set Sail
The ship will be leaving Colony Minsry in 10 minutes!
All hands to your stations!
What happened?
The Federation Forces entered the colony!
They wanted to arrest the captain for treason!
Flit, is it true?
The Federation Forces came after the captain?
Yes.
We need to get away from this colony as soon as we can.
Hurry and prepare for launch, Vargas!
O-Okay. Leave it to me!
Emily and Dique, too!
Right.
Got it!
Where are you going, Flit?
Mr. Grodek told me to change into my pilot suit!
What's wrong?
We disobeyed the orders of the Federation Forces.
Isn't it a bit late for that?
Sure, I hate the UE!
But to make an enemy of the Federation Forces as well...?
Then you should get off this ship now.
Woolf...
Largan, don't lose sight of what's important.
In a race, sometimes you've gotta run an unfavorable course.
But it's all so you can win in the end.
About to switch from colony navigation to outer space navigation.
Enemy detection systems have located what appear to be warships!
This is... IFF codes received!
They're Federation Forces Darwin-class space warships.
Blitz, Haloes and Warden.
You didn't really believe that it was over already, Grodek Ainoa?
I won't let you off that easily... rebels!
A Federation fleet...
Are they here to arrest us?
Wh-What's going to happen to us?
Captain...
Advance at slow speed.
The easiest way to capture us would have been seizing the ship before it launched.
Then the Diva wouldn't have been able to escape.
Since they didn't do that, they're sending us a message.
"Come on out."
That's right.
That's just the way I like it.
I won't let any of you get away.
I'll surround you and turn that ship itself into a prison.
I'm surprised that they're coming out to us so readily.
They must be confident.
Grodek is a talented computer engineer, but that's not all.
He was made deputy commander of Arinston Base due to his skill as a mission planner.
He even got the better of you inside the colony, I suppose.
Don't be stupid.
Playing military policeman like that isn't my style.
And of course, the appearance of the Gundam was an unexpected variable.
As a ship-going man, this kind of situation is more exciting.
I'm glad to hear that, captain.
But please take care not to eat too much.
Get off it!
My brain's running at full speed.
It wants chocolate!
Now then, what's your move, Grodek Ainoa?
Notify the mobile suit team.
Prepare to launch.
Yes, sir!
All mobile suits, prepare to launch!
I say again, all mobile suits prepare to launch!
Do we really have no choice?
We're all part of the Federation Forces!
Looks like they're sending out mobile suits.
Maybe Grodek is planning something.
What do we do?
We have no obligation to let him make his move.
Are we ready?
Yes.
Okay then, let the fireworks of battle begin!
What?
Signal flares?
No, this is...
What's this light?
Flash rounds to temporarily blind them.
An old-fashioned strategy, but it's effective, isn't it?
Open a line to the Diva.
Yes, sir.
Channel open.
I am Commander Stoller Guavaran.
I'm in charge of the EFF's 8th Space Fleet, Special Detachment.
You are completely surrounded.
Disengage your weapons at once and surrender peacefully.
Otherwise, you will be considered an enemy force, and we will attack with our full strength.
What's the point in saying all that when you already have your guns pointed at us?
Wait a moment, please!
Who are you?
I am the Diva's navigator, Ensign Adams Tinel.
We have no intention of fighting the Federation Forces.
Oh?
Captain Grodek has performed an independent investigation
and determined the UE are hiding in the abandoned space fortress Ambat.
Adams...
We believe that this is the hour to strike the UE.
If this operation is successful,
we will definitely deal a major blow to the UE.
So please, Commander Guavaran,
if the 8th Space Fleet would just join forces with us...
I see.
An interesting story.
But that's for the higher-ups to decide and no justification for you to act on your own.
If you're a soldier, you should understand that.
My mission is simply to capture Grodek Ainoa.
Now, would you give me your answer, Grodek?
No answer?
You leave me no choice.
It's not my preference, but we'll have to do this by force.
What?
What happened?
You too!
Well done, Flit!
Not bad.
They hid the Gundam in the colony's shadow, our detection system's blind spot.
Damage report?
Aside from the destruction of the beam spray guns, all three Genoaces are unharmed.
Well, aren't they nice?
Mr. Grodek, let's take this chance to escape!
No, that's probably impossible.
It looks like we've been targeted by the fleet's weapons control systems
as well as by the mobile suits deployed around us!
When did they launch their mobile suits?
When they fired the flash rounds.
Then they used a few mobile suits to restrain the Diva,
and deployed the other suits while we were distracted.
B-But that means...
We completely fell for their plan.
Now what will you do, Grodek?
Will they surrender quietly?
I don't know.
But even if they do resist and take out one of our ships, our other two will make short work of the Diva.
So they'll end up the same either way.
But now we're even.
What?
They were hiding a fleet!?
Calm down.
The firing will stop in a moment.
Why?
Why must we cease fire?
You didn't take pity on them because you're all Federation Forces, did you?
That's not it.
We'll be moving on to Operation Ambat Capture from here.
I want to minimize loss of ammunition and damage to our ships.
That's probably what Grodek's thinking.
He has a goal, and he doesn't want to waste resources on anything else.
I see.
But if he managed to gather this many warships, he may be serious about attacking the UE...
But we have a job to do, too.
Now what will you do?
What!?
Attack from behind the fleet!
Details unknown!
Do they have even more warships!?
No, they don't.
The detection systems aren't picking anything up.
This signature...
It's the UE!
Detection systems have acquired targets!
Two warships, ten mobile suit-types!
The Haloes mobile suit squad has suffered multiple casualties!
They can't hold the line!
Have our forward-line mobile suits form a screen!
Make protecting the fleet our top priority!
Yes, sir!
This is a problem.
If we keep our weapons aimed at the Diva, the UE will attack from behind.
But if we turn around, we'll be exposing our back to the Diva...
We're in a tight spot for sure.
The 8th Space Fleet has engaged the UE!
Wh-What should we do?
Don't ask me.
This is an unexpected blessing.
Let the Federation Forces deal with the UE, and we'll leave this sector and head for Ambat.
Impossible!
You want us to abandon our comrades!?
No.
They aren't comrades at all.
They're the enemy.
Remember what the captain said?
We should avoid loss of ammunition and damage to our ships.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
But...
Or will you help your enemy, and be arrested as rebels?
Prepare to fire main guns!
Launch the mobile suits!
Attack the UE in front of us!
Yes, sir!
Sounds good to me!
In that case, I can go all out!
Captain!
What?
It's the Diva's mobile suits!
They're...
Get back. I'll handle this!
O-Okay...
Come on! Come at me, bro!
This'll be the perfect warm-up for Ambat!
I can... I can fight too!
We're...
We're going to Ambat to destroy the UE!
We're not going down here!
Why was I able to do that?
It was like I could predict the enemies' movements...
Stay sharp, Flit!
This fight isn't over yet!
Right!
The Diva's pilots aren't half bad.
Captain, the Diva is approaching at high speed!
Thermal sensors confirm they're charging their main guns!
You don't think they're planning to take us out with them, do you?
No, they're not.
Evade the Diva's line of fire at full speed!
Clear a path for them!
Fire!
Jeez... They used our ship to hide from the enemy...
Open a channel to the Haloes and Warden!
This is your fleet commander.
All ships, hard to port!
Confirm firing system linkage!
Change target to the UE fleet!
Prepare for energy charge!
All ships, open fire!
Don't let up on the barrage!
Keep firing!
Wow... they're in perfect unison...
They can do it if they try, see?
Yes!
Enemy warships and mobile suit-types are withdrawing!
Jeez... We managed somehow.
You saved us.
It would've been easier for you to just abandon us and run.
I fought the UE; that's all.
I see.
Next time we meet, I'd like to have a drink with you.
We can drink to your victory.
The rebel Grodek Ainoa escaped during the confusion of the UE attack.
That is what happened here today.
Captain, you can't be serious!
It's fine.
That's just how it is.
Godspeed, brave rebels.
And this happened during the battle?
Yes...
I was able to predict the enemies' movements.
Just like when I met Yurin...
That could be the power of an X-Rounder.
X-Rounder?
It's something I've heard the Federation Forces are researching.
There's a region in the human brain that governs special abilities, called the X-Region.
It's a special region that normal humans will never use in their lifetimes.
And when it functions, you can sense things you could never sense before.
People with extrasensory powers who can use that region... they're X-Rounders.
Are you saying I'm one of them?
I don't know.
But I'm certain that your new abilities are something special.
So it's you, huh?
You're sure she has the power?
I'm certain. I can feel it.
You know what we came here for, right?
And what will happen if you refuse us...
Flit...

Next Time
At the end of a long journey, everyone heads into battle with different sentiments.
At last, the final battle begins.
Next time, on Mobile Suit Gundam AGE...
"Space Fortress Ambat."
Space Fortress Ambat
Three destinies will form history...
Gundapedia G-Exes
HHHH
If you've watched all of Gundam AGE up until now, you should have 1200 EXP! Check the "d" button on your remote!
HHHHHHHHHHHHH
The G-Exes is Woolf's personal mobile suit outfitted to imitate the Gundam.
Since he is obsessed with the color white, he had the G-Exes painted white.
Because it's made by the Madorna Workshop, it's top notch!
Look Forward To Next Time!
