The Diva has reached Earth's escape velocity.
Setting a course for Luna base.
No sign of enemies in the area.
Well, I guess we've passed the first hurdle.
Now we can relax a little.
It looks like the diversion worked.
Now that the pressure's off, I'm getting hungry.
That's all you ever talk about, isn't it?
E-Everyone! Please remain on high alert!
Captain.
Yes!
You can take your helmet off now.
Huh?
Hey! Come on, Kio!
Kio? Something wrong?
Someone... is waiting for us.
So you're here, Diva.
The Mars settlement plan.
The people left behind in the Mars Sphere in the wake of its failure
formed the independent nation of Vagan,
and launched a war against the Earth Federation government.
70 years have already passed
since the conflict began.

In a world that I know is not a dream

Episode 34 Space Pirates Bisidian
The Diva's whereabouts remain unknown.
Our informants on Earth say it left Rostroulan carrying the Gundam.
I am already putting a plan in motion.
Please leave it to me.
Now that you're working for me, you'd better prove yourself useful.
I definitely won't disappoint you, Master Zeheart.
Zeheart Galette...
My brother gave his life for you.
If you're not worthy of that, I'll kill you myself.
What do we do next?
Zero-gravity hide and seek!
Okay!
Hey.
Wootbit.
They seem lively.
Everybody's excited now that we're in space.
You're such little kids.
You were excited too!
We saw you!
You're acting like little kid, too.
Little kid! Little kid!
Anyway, how long are you guys staying on this ship?
We found out all their families were evacuated to a colony near the moon.
Apparently the Federation Forces sent some of the people from Olivernotes there.
So we're taking these kids to the Luna base.
The military will send them on from there.
I see.
Kio?
We're gonna see our moms and dads soon!
That's good.
Kio? Is something wrong?
I just felt something...
As if someone was waiting in our path.
That's kinda ominous.
I just hope nothing happens before we get to the moon.
Still detecting no immediate threats in the surrounding area.
It seems the Vagan fleet fell for the decoy.
What a relief...
But will we be okay? Up ahead is...
The special alert sector, right?
Is there something there?
You don't know?
The special alert sector.
It's known as... Sargasso.
Sargasso?
Yeah. It looks like we're about to pass through that sector.
If somebody's waiting for us like you said,
they might be in there.
What kind of place is it?
It's a ghastly place, full of drifting shipwrecks.
There are lots of rumors about ships going in and not coming out, and instruments malfunctioning.
Well, rumors are just rumors.
Do we really have to go through there?
The fact that ships do not normally travel there
means the Vagan are less likely to find us.
Steady as she goes.
Roger.
It's kind of creepy.
What looks like fog is actually droplets of ice.
This says it's a comet swarm captured by a Lagrange point
that's gradually melting in the sun's heat.
What?!
Signal on enemy detection systems!
Identity unknown!
Size is battleship-class!
Vagan?!
That's...
I've got you now, Diva!
It doesn't match any Vagan ship in our database!
Then what...?
Listen, Diva!
We are the Bisidian space pirates!
We're taking your ship!
If you value your lives, surrender your ship peacefully!
Otherwise, we'll seize it by force in the name of Bisidian!
I can't believe we'd run into them here. Or is this an ambush?
Grandpa, do you know them?
The Bisidian are pirates who've repeatedly attacked and plundered Federation ships.
In other words, enemies of the Federation!
So what do we do?
Prepare for anti-ship combat!
Abis team, please launch immediately!
Kio!
Right!
Captain Ash, what's the point of attacking such an old ship?
Don't underestimate it.
It carries an evolving monster.
Captain?
They'll never abandon that ship.
I'm going out.
I've never fought in space before.
If you can gather data in this battle,
the AGE System can produce some new wear parts.
Right.
There's no need to be nervous.
Just trust in your previous experience, and fight.
Fight to protect everyone.
Right!
Let's go, Abis team!
Launch!
Kio Asuno, AGE-3. Here I go!
Be careful! They're coming!
Four mobile suits confirmed!
There's one more coming!
Who are you?
We meet at last, Kio.
Show your father what you can do!
Let's go, Kio!
I won't let you lay a hand on the Diva!
Over here!
Is that all you've got?
Kio! Don't let your guard down!
The pilot of that mobile suit is probably Bisidian's leader!
He's a master pilot who's attacked many Federation ships!
We have to defeat the Vagan!
We can't lose to pirates!
Bisidian's leader...
I've heard no one knows his true identity.
That suit looks like the AGE-2. But who in the world...?
I-Impossible!
This feeling... It can't be!
Is that you, Asemu?!
Father, I know you're aboard the Diva.
But now that you've left the military, just how much can you do?
I'll see if you're still worthy to use the AGE System!
And Kio, I'll test your power too!
Derek, fall back!
All units, stay on guard!
Something's strange about this battle.
Even when they have the chance to deal a decisive blow, they don't.
It's like they're testing our strength.
Attention, Abis team! This is an emergency message!
I repeat, this is an emergency message!
Enemy detection systems have picked up what appear to be Vagan mobile suits!
Seven of them!
Approaching rapidly!
Why now, of all times?!
Her scouting skills are impressive, I'll give her that!
Now it's hunting time!
We'll take down the white one, no matter what!
This is for Deymon!
Right!
We've got to fight the Vagan too?
This is bad! It's making me hungry!
Captain, what do we do?
Captain, prepare to fire.
Fire successively at sectors Bow 109 to 226, and 332 to 459!
But why?
That won't hit them!
It doesn't matter!
Where are you shooting?!
So that's it...
Not bad, Father.
Impressive.
Avoiding those shots drove the Vagan between us and the Bisidian!
So now the Diva pilots won't have to fight us!
All that matters is taking out the white one!
Let's go!
Wh-Where are they...?
I'm gonna tear you apart!
Kio... is that all you've got?
That's right. That's what I want to see.
C-Crap!
Hope you're watching from the the other side, Deymon!
Get him!
No, you don't!
Take that!
Don't underestimate a super pilot!
Deymon... I couldn't even...
Glatt!
Why?
Why did you save me?
Who are you?
You're supposed be a dangerous enemy...
but I feel a warmth from you.
Why?
I've seen your power.
We'll meet again, Kio.
The Bisidan and Vagan are both withdrawing from the area.
Asemu...
What are you trying to do?
I'm very sorry. We've lost valuable soldiers.
Never mind.
That's not why I sent you to Zeheart.
I sent you to observe him.
I understand, Master Zanald.
Like myself, Zeheart works directly under Lord Ezelcant.
We cannot overlook the slightest error or change of heart.
Don't forget that.
Yes, sir!
What I'm after is different, though.
Master Zeheart, I deeply apologize for the failure of the operation.
I will devote myself to becoming a better commander,
so as not to embarrass the Zeheart team—
Do you know the names of the soldiers who died in this operation?
No...
Sam Kalev.
Lin Foster.
And Glatt Otto.
They had fierce tempers, but they were skilled pilots.
Remember them.
Yes, sir!
Kio, I'm glad you're okay!
You did good too, AGE-3.
What's this?
Grandpa...
That pirate leader saved me.
Did you feel anything?
Yes. I've felt it over and over again since we got here.
Did you feel it too?
You know who that person was, don't you?
Yes.
You're an X-Rounder, so there's no hiding it from you.
The pilot of that mobile suit was Asemu Asuno. Your father.
Captain Ash...
I know what you're going to say.
Why did we withdraw before we got the Diva, right?
Our target was the AGE System aboard the Diva.
Until now, we've attacked Federation units who were working with Vagan,
in order to reform the Federation.
But we'll never make much progress that way.
So you wanted the AGE System...
Yes.
If the Diva crew were weaklings, who were wasting the AGE System,
I was going to take it for ourselves and make better use of it.
But they weren't weaklings.
That ship, and Flit Asuno, are as strong as ever.
I can leave the AGE System to them.
And one more thing...
The Gundam pilot?
Yes. I've entrusted it to him.
The key to the treasure that will determine the course of the war.
Now, what will he do with it?
matou shiroi kibou ni inochi wo azuke
I devote my life to the brilliant hopes I have,

here, where our lifelines met in a cosmos full of doubts

"I loved you", you said, before you passed away,
hohoenda maboroshi ga uketsuideku seigi
and those fleeting smiles you showed me are my justice now

The red fires that showed within your unbelievably gentle eyes

will one day spread to others through my tears

We vowed we would never run away again

We vowed we would never run away again

I live through these painful times as a brave, steadfast warrior
kanashiki toki wo ikiteku kakan na yuushi

I should push ahead if I believe in the path we chose
ubau dake ja sukuenai inochi ni kizuitara
Once I realize that I won't have forever

the tears of the past will guide me through a future

Next Time
The message Kio received was a secret hidden in space for ages.
Next time, on Mobile Suit Gundam AGE...
"The Cursed Treasure."
The Cursed Treasure
Three destinies will form history...
Gundapedia AGE-2 Dark Hound
If you've watched all of Gundam AGE up until now, you should have 3400 EXP! Check the "d" button on your remote!
HHHHHHHHHHHHH
The Bisidian space pirates had a Gundam.
This is Captain Ash's personal Gundam,
AGE-2 Dark Hound.
If you're wondering why he had a Gundam, you'll find that out later on!
Look Forward To Next Time!
