No, it couldn't be...
I am... Girard Spriggan!
Reina Spriggan.
That's her real name.
I can't control my abilities!
Me neither!
No...
Girard...
Girard!
I'm here with him now!
I am...
Girard Spriggan!

Even among the lights wandering through the faraway sky

I will run along my path through this age

Oh, why is the world so full

of vague and uncertain dreams?

I know why; we struggle in darkness

You spoke no words, yet your eyes said goodbye

Through the ripped clouds we saw planets die

If I left behind all my hesitation for good there,

I would go, step by step and second by second to find you again

Episode 43 Splendid! Triple Gundam
Did you really think you could hit me with an attack like th—
What is this pain?
Girard!
Fall back!
Retreat from the combat zone at once!
Huh?
What is it now?
Are you saying I can't beat them?
No! If you keep fighting, you'll...
Looks like there's no more time to chat.
To think I get to fight three Gundams at once...
I'm getting shivers down my spine.
Ms. Girard...
Damn! This is getting harder the closer we get.
Green Company cannot reach the insertion point due to enemy counterattack!
Multiple requests for support fire! More than we can handle!
All lunar surface landing forces have taken serious damage!
At this rate...
Former Commander.
Algreus?
None of the landing forces can hold the lines.
What shall we do?
When the lines collapse, we'll use the plasma diver missile.
We'll destroy the Luna base.
Are you sure?
I'm saying that failure is not an option.
I'll leave the final decision to you.
Understood.
Don't worry. The former commander always makes the right call.
Send a message to all ships...
Concentrate your fire on the Luna base's defense facilities,
and support the landing forces as much as possible.
That's all we can do now.
R-Roger!
What a difficult situation.
Why won't you understand?
Ezelcant isn't trying to save the Vagan people!
That talk again?
I'll defeat you! For the sake of Master Zeheart's dearest wish!
So young. You're all talk and no substance!
Ms. Girard... please stop this!
We should be able to use our power to stop the war, not to fight!
That's why...!
What are you talking about?
I switched sides so I could crush the Federation Forces!
Once we break through here, we'll be at the Luna base's doorstep.
But they're not going let us waltz right in.
But if they're concentrating so much of their strength to defend a route that isn't directly connected to base HQ...
Yes. As I thought, the enemy altered the base's internal structure.
We're almost there! Keep it up!
Roger!
Report from 2nd Landing Division HQ on lunar surface:
Enemy counterattack is fierce, and they can't hold the line.
That is all!
What?! We're using the plasma diver missile?
Yes. That was Commander-In-Chief Algreus's order.
He told us to launch it in 20 minutes...
But something's strange.
He also told us to prepare to fire the photon blaster at minimum output.
I see...
So that's it.
Can you fire the photon blaster?
Not at the Luna base, but at loading port 6, right in front of it.
That's what he's telling us. One way or the other...
Take care of this in 20 minutes before we fire the plasma diver.
Enemy or not, the fewer sacrifices the better, right?
In other words, he wants us to take out the base now .
Can you fire it?
Any time!
Then fire the photon blaster!
We're infiltrating the base!
Let's go!
Now! Get inside!
What?!
You let them break in?
Yes.
Combat has now begun inside the base.
Weren't we supposed to be safe here?
They've only broken in at one point.
They're presently in passage N-32...
Commander, where are you going?
You take charge here for a while.
But...
I'll be right back!
Please stop, Ms. Girard!
I don't want to fight you!
I'm tired of this.
Enough of your naïve platitudes!
They don't mean a thing!
Even so, I'll keep repeating it.
If we talk, we can understand each other!
It's about time you realized. Some people don't want to understand each other!
Girard!
Ms. Girard?
So they reinforced the bulkheads after all?
Well, fine.
We've secured the backup control center.
How's it look, Wong?
Most of them have been destroyed,
but I found some lines that are still live.
If I can access the Luna base's command system from here...
I'm counting on you.
We don't have much time left.
Ms. Girard...?
I knew it!
Wait, Zeheart!
Ms. Girard, what's wrong?!
Ms. Girard!
Was I too late?
What?
What the heck is going on?
Why...?
What does this mean?
She's run wild!
What?
Girard's X-Rounder abilities have run wild.
They're interfering with our own abilities!
That injury she received in the accident...
She's used up too much of her X-Rounder abilities!
Ms. Girard! Ms. Girard!
Commander?
Where are you going?
There's nothing here but an emergency escape craft.
This isn't funny.
I'm not going to die here!
The entire reason I made that accident look like it was all Fornell's fault...
was so that I could goad her to take revenge on the Federation while she was grieving.
Then I could offer her as a gift when I sided with Vagan...
It was all so I could survive!
So, I can't die here after all that...
Testing, testing...
Loud and clear.
This is Lt. Commander Seric Abis of the Federation Forces.
Attention, all Vagan solders inside the Luna base.
Cease combat activities and surrender at once.
I repeat.
Cease combat activities and surrender at once.
Stay calm!
We haven't been defeated yet!
But this base is now being targeted by a plasma diver missile.
It's powerful enough to destroy the entire base in an instant.
There are ten minutes until launch.
I hope you'll make a wise decision.
Impossible!
I refuse to believe it!
In that case, the Federation soldiers inside the base would also be—
We've been told we're not expected to survive this operation!
This base may be important for Vagan's Earth invasion.
Therefore Federation Forces will destroy it if they have to.
Make your decision soon!
If you don't... we'll die along with you.
Hell no!
I'm going to live—
You bastard!
Girard, stop it!
At this rate, you'll—
Master Zeheart!
Kio!
Father!
It's all her...
There!
Zeheart?
Stop it, Ms. Girard, please!
We have...
We have... no reason to fight...
None at all.
Get back, Kio! Her power will overwhelm you!
I can stop if you like.
In exchange...
Give him back to me.
Ms. Girard!
What a clumsy ending.
In the end, I couldn't do anything... about him or the Federation.
No, that's not true.
You fought to the last for the justice you believed in.
I accept you as a true warrior.
Zeheart...
Thank you.
Ms. Girard!
Five minutes left!
Time to give us your answer.
Very well.
Our forces will disarm and withdraw from the base.
But we have a condition.
All the officers will become prisoners.
But we want you to let the other soldiers go.
If you can't accept that, we'll all go down with this base!
Understood. We accept your condition.
Report to fleet headquarters.
Tell them to cease fire and allow the Vagan to escape!
Yes, sir!
Master Zeheart! Master Zeheart!
Girard Spriggan...
A sorrowful woman.
That's...
Master Zeheart, the Luna base has...
Fram, we're withdrawing.
We've been defeated.
Yes, sir.
You won't get away!
Kio!
Stop it...
Stop it already, Grandpa.
Zeheart...
Jeez... now we can finally relax.
Report from landing forces.
They've captured the enemy HQ, and seized control of the Luna base!
Okay, call off the launch of the plasma diver missile!
All ships, remain on alert and assist casualties!
Yes, sir!
Surely this was all as you planned, wasn't it, Commander Asuno?
Hurry up and get aboard.
Send the wounded soldiers to the medical bay.
Once they're all aboard, we'll leave this sector.
Wait!
Why don't you take me first?
I'm the commander of the Luna base!
And as you can see, I'm wounded!
A commander's top priority should be the safety of his soldiers.
You can't—
How did you hurt your arm?
I've already received the report.
A soldier was shot and killed in an area where there were no enemies.
I can't let a disgusting man like you aboard Master Zeheart's ship.
I... I...
Fram.
Sir!
We're heading back.
Second Moon has reached the Earth Sphere.
soba ni yorisotteru dake de
We just sat leaning against each other
sore de ii to omotteta kedo
and I felt it should just continue like that
itsuka ki ga tsuita n da
One day I realized
kimi ni sae mo yuzurenai mirai ni
that the future wouldn't show mercy, even to you
yume ga futari tsunaide
Dreams connected us
soshite yume ga futari wo ima toozaketa no
and dreams now keep us apart

I will never, ever forget any of it,
kimi ga oshietekureta uta mo
not even the song you taught me
meguru kisetsu kurikaeshite itsuka namida ga
The seasons pass, and one day
tsuyosa ni kawatteku sono hi made kitto
the tears I already shed will be my strength
nakanai de aruiteku kono mama
Until that day, I will shed tears no more
