What do you mean?!
Why won't the regeneration treatment work on her left hand?
We found abnormalities in the stem cells around the injury.
The doctor thinks there must be something about the Gundam's beam weapon...
...that caused these cellular defects.
N- No way...
You can't stay, Saji. You have to go home.
Wait for me in space... I'll catch up to you soon.
In space...
Louise...

BLADE OF REFORMATION
To counter the repeated acts of vicious terrorism perpetrated by Celestial Being...
AMERICA - UN ASSEMBLY HALL
...the Union, the Human Reform League and the AEU will form a military alliance.
We will conduct military action under the supervision of the United Nations...
...for the purpose of destroying Celestial Being!
The 3 blocs announced a military alliance to be controlled by the United Nations.
With this agreement, the largest UN military force in history is born.
The reorganization of units is proceeding...
It seems things are progressing according to the script Celestial Being has written.
The new force will be operational in days.
So the recent radical armed interventions were done to create a unified UN military.
37 carriers, 75 Aegis ships, and more than 1,600 mobile suits...
That seems like a reasonable conclusion.
...are already committed to the UN forces.
Uniting the world as one. That was Celestial Being's goal.
This is 78% of the world's military power...
Reject fighting with fighting, and you win peace.
Is this the world that you were hoping for...
...Setsuna?
And what exactly has led us to this situation?
So, we've finally cleared the first stage of the plan.
Celestial Being's indiscriminate attacks...
Though I'm uneasy with the fact that it was the Trinitys' actions that triggered it.
...on the military bases of several countries...
But we still have a mystery.
What?
The Trinitys inflicted serious damage...
...to the military bases of many of those countries.
In their condition, even if they united their armies...
...they couldn't do anything about that.
The public would only react with despair.
There's something else behind this.
To be honest, I'm uneasy about all of this.
The fact that Trinity's existence wasn't mentioned anywhere in Veda's information...
...and the fact Veda's data was altered.
I can't help but feel uneasy.
"I"?
A coded transmission from Sumeragi Lee Noriega.
All Meisters are to return to Ptolemaios with their machines.
Okay, mission briefing.
Back to space.
UN Forms History's Largest Military Force
So, what do we do now?
We'll see what the UN does first.
Knowing you, you've already made a forecast, right?
In any event, we should prepare whatever we can while we still have time.
Ian, would you mind taking Lasse and picking up the GN Arms?
Roger!
The GN Arms have been rolled out?
Well, just one of them for now.
The remaining members will help retrieve the Gundams that are coming up right now.
Roger!
Finally, a chance to deploy the GN Arms.
The current situation is precarious enough that we may need to use it.
UNION AMERICA - ILLINOIS BASE
Katagiri, about the analysis we ran on the new model Gundam's beam saber...
We have more important matters right now.
What's happened?
Apparently, there's a traitor in the Celestial Being organization.
A traitor?
Yes. And as a gift, they brought with them the same kind of engines the Gundams use...
...and some mobile suits to install them into.
What?
We're talking thirty machines.
That's why they could make that statement.
I see. It all makes sense now.
The pilots for these machines...
...will probably be chosen from among the Over Flag members.
And you would be the captain, of course.
I flatly refuse.
I will defeat the Gundams with a Flag.
I stood over Howard Mason's grave and made a vow.
But Captain! Against a Gundam, the Flag's performance...!
A man cannot go back on his vow!
Oh boy.
HUMAN REFORM LEAGUE SOUTHERN RUSSIA - MILITARY BASE
So this is the Gundams' main engine?
According to our data, it's officially called a "GN Drive".
A GN Drive?
We, the Human Reform League, were given ten GN Drives.
Lieutenant Colonel.
You're in charge of selecting the pilots.
Yes, sir!
Lieutenant Colonel, permit me to pilot one of the new models.
Second Lieutenant...
Of course you'll be permitted.
Commander?
I hear that the Second Lieutenant's quantum brain waves...
...have a disabling effect upon the pilot of the winged Gundam.
We must make use of that advantage.
I will do my best, sir!
- Naturally. We can't have it any other way. - Yes, sir!
AEU FRANCE - ON-BASE OFFICER'S HOUSING
For pilot candidates, we'll gather top guns...
...from the AEU member nations.
The question is...
...whether or not to include that man.
Colonel, it is I. Patrick Colasour.
What do you want, Second Lieutenant?
I wanted to invite you to dinner, Colonel.
Second Lieutenant, the world is about to undergo a great reformation.
Don't you ever give that any thought?
No! Not at all!
You know... You're just like a big kid.
What do you mean?
Wait here. I'll get ready.
All right!
LINEAR TRAIN CORPORATION CHAIRMAN'S SECOND HOME
JNN again?
Tell them I have no intention of answering any questions about that.
Yes, sir.
It must be hard being so popular.
Don't mock me.
Right then...
I hear distribution of the machines is progressing smoothly.
If I'm paid for a job, I make sure it gets done...
...Mister Laguna Harvey.
So, why are you here?
I'll get straight to the point.
I'd like to get my hands on one of the new model machines we're distributing.
Don't be ridiculous.
Then, I'd like you to use your influence to get me assigned to someone's military.
The Union or the AEU, it doesn't really matter to me.
Weren't you assigned to the French Foreign Legion?
Under the name of Second Lieutenant Gary Biaggi.
I've heard about your great instincts...
...but why do you want to pilot one of these things so badly?
There's someone I owe a little payback to... for three different times now.
And I have this feeling in my gut...
...that tells me mercenaries aren't gonna be that necessary in the near future.
So I wanna go somewhere where I can fight.
That about sums it up.
How much do you know, exactly?
Like I said, it's only a gut feeling.
Please think it over, Mister Harvey.
Damn it...
All because of those Celestial whatevers...
I can't get an interview...
So what do I do now?
Funny... they told me Mr. Harvey was in a meeting.
Hello...?
Can I help you?
I'm a special investigator from JNN.
I'd like to ask you a couple of questions, if that's all right with you?
A reporter from JNN?
I don't mind, but... I'm in a hurry.
Can you ask them in the car?
Well, I don't know...
I guess you'd rather not.
I'll take you up on that.
Miss Kinue Crossroad...
How refreshing. Nice to see a beautiful reporter for a change.
Thank you...
So, what would you like to ask me?
I apologize if I'm wrong, but Mr. Biaggi, weren't you just in a meeting...
...with Laguna Harvey, the president of the train corporation?
Yes, I did meet with him.
What did you discuss?
I run some business in distribution.
I was reporting to the president to confirm the distribution of certain goods.
Directly to the president himself?
Yes.
Are these goods for private use?
Yes. Private use...
If you don't mind, could you tell me what those private goods were?
GN Drives.
GN Drives?
Are they components for linear trains?
No. They're engines for powering mobile suits.
Mobile suits?
Gundams.
You do know about them, don't you? The ones possessed by Celestial Being.
One of their pilots is an ex-child soldier from Krugis.
I mean those Gundams.
A child soldier from Krugis...?
Just a punk, really...
And the one who abducted him, brainwashed him, trained him in combat...
...and molded him into a guerrilla soldier, was none other than me.
W... Who are you...?
I'm a warmonger.
I can't help it. I love everything about war.
I live and die for humanity's most primitive impulse.
I'm the lowest and worst kind of person.
I guess Kinue is on another business trip...
It's me.
I took care of that pesky rat that was scurrying around.
That wasn't necessary.
I think it'll be good propaganda in order to get the support of the public.
You know...
You're a hard man to figure out.
Louise...
F-Father...
Sa... Saji...
UNION - HIGH ORBITAL STATION
Master Alejandro, I really don't see the need for you to accompany me in person.
This is information that you went out of your way to obtain.
I'd like to take a look at it myself.
Besides, this has been an ardent wish of the Corner family for a very long time.
Master Alejandro... or rather, your whole family...
I take it you've been planning to interfere with this project for many generations.
Exactly.
But as long as Veda existed, there was nothing we could do.
And then one day, purely by chance, an angel descended before me.
I'm talking about you, Ribbons Almark.
I will repay you for taking me in and treating me so well.
But I didn't expect you to find the location of the main system...
I apologize that it took so long.
Ribbons, you truly are my angel.
AFRICAN CONTINENT NORTHWESTERN REGION
After making us work so hard until now, they're not contacting us at all? What gives?
Don't ask me, Nena.
I'm no good at thinking about complicated stuff like that.
You're the simple type all right, Michael.
S-Stop making fun of me!
Moron! Moron!
- Moron! Moron! Moron! Moron! - Damn you, Haro! You wanna get sliced up?
- Moron! - Michael!
Haro is an invaluable asset to Team Trinity.
Johann! That was a joke. I was joking!
We've just received a mission plan from Laguna.
It's the same thing as usual.
The mission will commence in three days.
I've been waiting for this!
Finally, I've found you.
But how?! How'd you get past our security?!
That doesn't matter.
Now that she's found us, we can't let her out of here alive!
Stand down, Michael. That lady there...
I recall reading about her in Veda's materials.
I am quite honored that you remembered someone like me.
My name is Wang Liu Mei.
I'm an undercover agent for Celestial Being.
And this is my partner, Hong Long.
He's pretty good looking.
You think so?!
Given the fact that you found this place, we can see your skills are formidable indeed.
So, how may we help you?
I simply dropped in to say hello.
Team Trinity are members of Celestial Being, and so are we.
As an agent I feel I should do my best to aid and assist you. It is only natural.
Are you kidding me?!
Your Gundams launched an attack on us!
I have already heard about that incident, but you should know...
We are not necessarily on the side of those who attacked you.
Are you saying that you're neutral?
No. I am simply a follower...
...of the original ideals that Aeolia Schenberg advocated.
Nothing more, and nothing less.
I see. So, that's what this is about.
Indeed.
I understand. Wang Liu Mei...
When the time is right, I'll be counting on your undivided support.
As you wish.
And our location...?
I promise I will not tell them about this place. Good bye.
You sure about this, Johann? Just letting them go like that?
I'm not that worried.
Besides, the more cards we have to play, the better off we are.
She was pretty! She was pretty!
Shut up!
Don't be jealous! Don't be jealous!
Is this the right thing to do, Mistress?
Celestial Being is hostile towards them.
It's all right.
What matters is that Team Trinity has triggered the world's reformation.
Do you truly dislike the current world that much, Mistress?
Yes. To the extent that if it doesn't change...
...I wouldn't mind if this world was smashed to pieces.
Exia has docked.
What's our situation?
No change as of yet.
Team Trinity has been quiet, too.
Give me my punishment for insubordination.
When did you do that?
But I...!
Just accept what she says.
Did something happen?
Who knows?
Miss Sumeragi!
Team Trinity appears to be on the move.
Now what?
What's their attack target, Feldt?
There's an HRL base on their route. It's the Guangzhou military district.
HUMAN REFORM LEAGUE GUANGZHOU REGION - GARRISON BASE
Observation team to all personnel...
Three objects believed to be new-model Gundams are approaching...
...from direction S-9788.
They are believed to be en route for an armed intervention against this base.
I'm still wound up from last time!
I'm gonna really cut loose! Is that okay, Johann?
Seems fine according to the plan.
Now that's more like it!
Here I go!
Th-There's one more coming!
Hit 'em! Hit 'em hard!
Don't hesitate! Concentrate your fire!
Shooting from behind? No fair!
Don't mess with us, pests!
Those damned demons!
Let's wrap this mission up. Prepare for docking.
- Roger! - Roger!
Wh-What was that?
Is it the Exia again?
No, it isn't.
A formation of ten?
Those aren't Gundams!
What's going on here?!
They're emitting GN particles!
Could it be? Are they also members of Celestial Being?
Chobu GN-X Team, commence offensive maneuvers.
These ten babies are precious. Don't let them get wrecked.
Attack!
What's with their mobility?
What superb performance! This machine is...
...Amazing!
What do you think you're doing?!
There is no longer any need to fear Gundams!
Stop kidding!
No way!
Nena!
I shall be your opponent!
Don't underestimate me!
Fangs!
What?!
This machine can keep up with my reaction speed...
This is the power of a Gundam!
How dare you trash my Fangs!
- We're leaving! - Johann...!
No arguing from you!
Stop!
That's enough for today.
But why, Lieutenant Colonel?
Look at the base below us.
Why are they cheering?
They took so much damage in the fight...
I guess this is your first taste, isn't it, Second Lieutenant?
This is the sweet taste of victory.
The Trinitys seem to have left the combat airspace.
Did they actually retreat?
What happened?
The Human Reform League deployed a team of mobile suits equipped with solar reactors.
Solar reactors...
That can't be.
The information must have been taken from Veda...
From now on, it's going to be like Gundam fighting Gundam.
Gundams fighting...
Already, the world has changed so much...
What could possibly lie beyond this?
This way, Master Alejandro.
So this is Veda...!
This is Aeolia Schenberg...!
And... the system that is the heart of Celestial Being.

Is this the condemnation of those who dreamed of eradicating warfare?
