SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONE TOKYO
Excuse me.
Come in.
Your companion has arrived.
Ta-da!
Oh, my! That looks very nice on you, Louise!
I knew my selection would be just perfect for you.
Huh?
H-H-Hello.
I don't recall inviting you.
I invited him.
Right, Saji?
I refused, but...
You're rather weak-willed.
I get told that a lot.
Then I'll do you a favor and make things clear.
Go home!
Ah, yes!
No!
But...
Go home!!
I said no, and I mean no!!
There's no mistake.
The enemy is trying to buy time.
Damn it.
They're trying to wear us out!
No.
The enemy isn't after this ship.
They're planning to capture a Gundam.
I know you...
I know you!
I know that machine...
I know it!
nee konna katachi no deai shika nakattano? Was this the only way we could meet?
kanashiine It's so sad
anata ni shindemo ayamete hoshikumonai... I don't want you to die or kill anyone...
onegai Please
unmei sae nomikomare We're sinking into a sea
shizumisouna umi e to A sea that swallows fate itself
negai yo kaze ni notte May my wishes ride on the wind
yoake no kane wo naraseyo And ring the bells of daybreak

My wishes over their airspace
musuu no nami wo koe asu e tachimukau anata wo You face tomorrow, crossing myriad waves

My life I trade in for your pain

negai wa darenimo uchiotosenai Wishes can never be shot out of the sky
2307 A. D.
Even now, after obtaining a permanent energy source...
...humanity has been unable to put an end to conflict.
The private armed organization Celestial Being...
...takes action against this world, setting the elimination of war as its goal.
However, the world resists their interventions...
...and the Human Reform League's Chobu special forces team...
...proceeds with a secret operation.
The four Gundams are thrown off-balance...
...by the tactics of the Chobu commander, Sergei Smirnov...
...and have difficulty finding a means to retaliate.
Amidst this battle...
...Allelujah Haptism is confronted..
...by Super Soldier Number One, Soma Peries, piloting her Tieren Taozi.
What effect will their encounter have upon space?
OPERATION GUNDAM CAPTURE
Lieutenant Colonel, the Winged One's movements are a bit odd.
It's not emitting the special particles either.
Is the machine malfunctioning, or is it a trap?
Lieutenant Colonel, I'll go ahead.
We'll use the carbon nets first.
First Lieutenant Ming!
Roger.
Stay away!
I'm begging you to stay away!
Relative velocity in sync.
I'm going to make contact.
What?
That voice...
Can you hear me?!
Everyone, move to the central block!
If you don't wanna die, move to the center!
It's the same as that time. The voice of a young pilot.
But why is he in pain?
Is he reacting to Second Lieutenant Peries?
Perhaps...!
We analyzed Taozi's mission recorder...
...and detected abnormalities in her quantum brain waves.
Ordinarily, this should be impossible.
It's possible that she was affected by an external influence.
External?
If that's the case, then this individual would have to be someone like her...
...who had their glial cells enhanced and also uses quantum brain waves.
The same as Second Lieutenant Peries.
Lieutenant Colonel, the pilot has fallen unconscious.
Roger that.
All units, take the Winged One into Ship Four...
...and then fall back to a safe distance!
Sergeant Ivan, rendezvous with the main force and send out a retreat signal!
They've moved into my blind spot!
Damn it!
Is Allelujah safe? What about Tieria?
How careless could I be?
HUMAN REFORM LEAGUE MULTIPURPOSE TRANSPORT SHIP LAOHO SHIP FOUR
Storage of the Winged One completed.
Have the crew remove the pilot from the machine...and detain him.
Maintenance team, roger that.
Chief, I get an error no matter which scanning method I use.
What?
Is it because of those special particles?
Ship Four is ready to launch.
That lacked excitement for a first battle, didn't it, Second Lieutenant Peries.
I do not have such feelings.
Completing the mission is everything to me.
Lieutenant Colonel, a heat source!
It's coming!
What?!
All units, spread out! Ship Four, get out of this zone now!
This attack.
Was it the Big One?
A Gundam!
So, there was another team.
What? I'm getting Kyrios' readings from that enemy transport?
He's been captured by the enemy?!
This is a major screwup!
You deserve ten thousand deaths for this!
Lieutenant Colonel, the enemy has positioned itself to fire!
It's targeting Ship Four.
I'm sure it knows that its ally is in there.
Yet it's still going to fire?
Allelujah Haptism...
...you weren't worthy of being a Gundam Meister, either.
It's fast!
It's different from a Tieren. A new model?
It evaded me twice!
Lieutenant Colonel, leave this one to me and go after the Winged One!
Second Lieutenant Peries!
Ship Four, wait at the rendezvous point.
Don't forget to drag the pilot out of the Winged One.
If needed, I'll allow the use of cutters.
Roger.
The transport!
Do you intend to take on Virtue alone?
I won't let you stop us!
What?!
At this close range, even if the bullets are deflected...
Don't be so sure of yourself!
How dare you...
...damage my Taozi!
Damn you...
Lieutenant Colonel, her machine...
I know.
Mobile suit team, backup Second Lieutenant Peries...
...and move in to capture the Big One.
Bridge, there's no switch on the outside of the unit.
We'll use the cutter.
I can hear voices.
I won't let you stop us!
That's right. This voice is...
Yeah, that's right.
It's that woman...
The one from before!
Emergency within the container!
Contact the Lieutenant Colonel!
L- Lieutenant Colonel, the ship is being destroyed from the inside!
Ship Four, what happened? Report on the situation!
Ship Four's signal has been lost.
This is terrible.
It's all due to an error in my judgment.
However...
We will not return empty-handed!
We're going to capture the Big One, no matter what!
I'm sensing something special about that machine...
What could it be, Veda?
New enemies!
Lieutenant Colonel!
We'll commence our plan after the enemy fires.
Don't die!
They don't know who they're messing with!
What?!
We're fully aware of the time lag between firings!
Fire the gel!
This won't stop me!
I won't let you!
Not even that will...!
Not even that!
L- Lieutenant Colonel, our machines...
The Big One has more thrust than six Tierens combined?!
Second Lieutenant, I don't care if it's a head or arm! Take something!
Roger!
Activate GN Field!
It won't deploy!
It's here.
I'm gonna be defeated!
It can't be...!
Wh-What?
It shed its armor?
Gundam Nadleeh...
...prepare to eradicate all targets.
Lieutenant Colonel!
Cancel operation!
Retreat from current zone!
Roger!
Lieutenant Colonel?
We're retreating!
What a disaster!
Showing them Nadleeh at such an early stage...
I've distorted the plan.
Veda...
I am...
That was only the seventh machine...
That was machine number nine...
A retreat signal?!
They ran! They ran!
Finally.
The enemy mobile suit teams have begun to withdraw.
S-So we survived?
Seems like it.
That was tough.
Don't let your guard down!
The operation is not over yet!
Hurry up and recover Kyrios and Virtue!
Roger!
Allelujah...
Tieria...
What's the status of your machine, Second Lieutenant?
Long distance acceleration is impossible, but it will have no problem cruising.
I see.
We used an incredible amount of resources and manpower...
...and we couldn't capture a single unit.
Lieutenant Colonel, there's an object approaching from ahead!
What?!
The Winged One!
I found you!
A Super-Soldier version of the Tieren!
Yeah, I'm sure you're the one.
How dare you mess around with my quantum brain waves?!
You're the same as me, right?
That's right. The same as me.
They enhanced your body...
And they messed around with your brain, turning you into a monster!
- I'm going. - Second Lieutenant!
Not with your machine like that!
You've certainly got guts, woman!
What? He's toying with me?
See! We're the same, so I can tell what you're going to do!
- Second Lieutenant! - Lieutenant Colonel!
Take the Second Lieutenant and get away!
What?
You and the Second Lieutenant's abilities are crucial to the Chobu team!
Please, sir...avenge my death!
First Lieutenant Ming!
I won't let you get the Second Lieutenant!
Don't get in my way, little tin soldier!
You should value your life more!
First Lieutenant Ming!
Lieutenant Colonel!
Please retreat!
First Lieutenant Ming!
We're retreating, Second Lieutenant!
But, sir...!
Do not waste the resolve of a brave man.
What's this?
You're gonna abandon one of your own?
You Human Reform League guys haven't changed one bit!
Someday...
Huh?
Someday retribution will come to you...
...as punishment for disrupting the nation we built, and its order!
Stop exaggerating.
What order does a society have...
...that rebuilds its own people to create soldiers.
Besides, I'm pretty pissed off about that girl who ran away.
So, I'm not gonna kill you quickly!
What?
How does it feel to have your life ground away slowly...
...by overwhelming force, with no chance to retaliate?
Stop it! Stop it!
Now that's what I call begging for your life!
Who will you think of last? Your mother? Your lover?
You're probably reliving your childhood now as your life flashes before your eyes...!
Stop it, Hallelujah.
Huh?
Hold on, Allelujah. This is the best part.
Please stop.
What are you saying?
I'm doing this for you because you couldn't.
I said stop!
I see.
I got it, Allelujah.
I guess I can't argue with you.
Just kidding!
This is fun, isn't it, Allelujah?!
ALLELUJAH!!
Lieutenant Colonel. First Lieutenant Ming has...
Don't say a word, Second Lieutenant.
- But, sir...! - Don't say it!
Gundam...
Why?
Why is it, Hallelujah?
Why do you wanna kill people so much?
Is that my true nature?
If so, that means that I'm...
...a cold-blooded beast!
I've located Virtue! I'm bringing it up on the monitor!
Wh-Why, this is...!
Nadleeh.
I see.
You used Nadleeh.
Tieria.
So that's Nadleeh.
I've located Kyrios!
Allelujah, can you hear me?
Allelujah!
What's wrong?
No, it's nothing.
He's crying.
I can't stand this!
I made another mistake!
It's true. I'm so pathetic!
What a blunder.
The Gundams are the physical embodiment of Aeolia Schenberg's ideals.
Then...
...why are the Meisters so imperfect?
Is it all right to leave things as is?
I am an observer, not a man of action.
All I can do is continue watching them.
Even if they are on the path to destruction.
zetsubou wa amai wana Despair is a sweet trap
tozasareta sono tobira The doors are locked securely
kokoro ga senjou dakara Because our hearts are a battlefield
darenimo sukuenai Nobody can save us
zenmai no shinzou ga unmei ni ayatsurare Wind-up hearts are manipulated by fate
buriki no heitaitachi wa satsuriku wo hajimeru The hollow tin soldiers begin the massacre
ai wo shirazu yureru yurikago The cradle rocks without knowing love
moetsukiteku nemuri no mori de As the sleeping forest burns to ash
tomoni ikiru yorokobi sae mo Even the joy of living together in peace
kieteshimau tooku Vanishes into the distance
yasashisa wo shinji subete wo yurushite Let us believe in kindness, and forgive all
itsukushimuyouni Let us treasure each other
tada wakachiatte wakariatte Simply sharing and understanding
The existence of Soma Peries makes Allelujah decide to go on a certain mission.
Is it atonement for his past?
Next episode, "Allelujah".
Baptism in blood. It is a blessing...
...for those who have gone against God.
