Based on the biometric data matching,
we believe this person is Kinue Crossroad.
Please confirm this for us.
Sister...
But why? Why her?
Kinue! Kinue! Kinue! Kinue!
Kinue...

PATH OF DESTRUCTION
So this is Veda's mainframe.
This is Aeolia Schenberg...!
Or rather, the system that is at the very heart of Celestial Being's plans!
Do you think you can do it, Ribbons?
Yes, but I will require some time.
I don't mind.
The Corner family has waited over two hundred years for this moment.
Chris. Access Veda and bring up an image of the team that drove off the Trinitys.
Try and keep the data from our side...
I'm blocking it.
Ready, Feldt?
Download complete. Bringing up visuals.
This machine...
As I thought. They're equipped with pseudo solar reactors.
The fighting is getting worse.
Gundam...
AFRICAN CONTINENT NORTHWESTERN REGION
Haro! Haven't you been able to get a hold of Laguna yet?
I can't! I can't!
No contact, and the UN has new units? What the hell's going on?
Johann! What are we gonna do?
How's it coming along?
I've already cleared level five.
I'm now starting to seize control of level six.
I see.
How about a little information update to pass the time?
Well, well...
Laguna Harvey seems to have completed distribution of the GN-Xs.
And if that's the case, it means he's already played his part.
UNION - HIGH ORBITAL STATION
Hey! You're a Flag Fighter, right?!
Who are you?
What kind of pilot are you, that you don't know me?!
I am Patrick Colasour, number one ace of the AEU!
Your name is Colasour?
Yeah. That's right.
Oh, right. The guy who got his ass kicked in the Gundam's first armed intervention.
Stop stirring up old wounds!
By the way, where's the Union's top gun hiding?
Senior Captain Aker will not be taking part in this operation.
Huh? What's up with that?
I see.
He got scared, did he?
The Union's ace isn't much of a...
What is it?
Do not insult the Captain!
I... I don't believe in violence!
That's enough!
Please excuse my subordinate's rudeness.
Colonel!
Union Warrant Officer Daryl Dodge, Ma'am.
I'm AEU Colonel Kati Mannequin.
I've been given command of this operation.
Nice to meet you, Warrant Officer.
Yes, ma'am! You'll get my best!
I expect great results from you. Come, Patrick!
Please wait! Colonel!
I will get results.
Otherwise, giving up the Flag will have been pointless...
...and I'd never be able to face the Captain.
I'm sorry for pushing you so hard.
Just what I needed!
Thank you so much!
You too, Feldt.
It's my duty.
How is the new system coming along?
I'd say it's about eighty percent done. But are you sure about this?
If we have to cut the Gundams off from any of Veda's support...
...it'll be tough on the pilots...
There's alcohol in this drink!
Oops. Sorry.
You're not as tense as you used to be, Feldt.
R-Really?
Yes.
It's a good trend.
Okay. Keep at it just a little longer, please.
Yes, ma'am.
Given the evidence...
...it is clear that someone is manipulating Veda's systems.
But without Veda, how can we fight against machines that are just like ours?
Something on your mind?
Lockon Stratos.
Don't worry so much.
Even if we can't rely on Veda's backup...
...we've got the Gundams and Miss Sumeragi's tactical forecasts.
You must not be aware of the crimes she committed in the past.
I know.
But anyone can make a mistake.
In her case...
...it just happened to be a very big one.
But Miss Sumeragi chose to fight in order to atone for her past.
And she drinks to dilute the regret she has in her heart.
And the only reason she can do that...
...is because that's what humans do.
Humans...?
Lockon, are you saying you know about me?
Listen guys, Miss Sumeragi just gave us orders to stand by in the containers.
Roger that.
Tieria. Let me say this much.
Now that the tide is turning against us...
...it'll be more crucial than ever that the four Gundams cooperate with each other.
I'm counting on you.
You should be saying that to Setsuna F. Seiei.
Yeah, you're right about that.
Soran.
Princess Marina Ismail...
Come over here, Soran.
Look.
Even in this place, flowers are starting to bloom.
With the help of solar power generation, the land and the people will revive.
I'm certain things will get better.
Marina?
So there's no need for you to fight anymore.
You've done enough, Soran.
A dream?
But why about Marina Ismail?
More importantly, do I wanna quit?
Is my mind set on quitting?
Lieutenant Colonel, we're almost at the target point.
Roger that.
Attention Chobu GN-X Team.
All units prepare to attack the Celestial Being facility.
The sweet taste of victory once again...
- Lieutenant Colonel! - What?!
They predicted that we'd be coming?!
Shot one down!
We used the High-Mega and only got one?
You're the one who betrayed us.
Or perhaps you intended to abandon us from the start...
...Laguna Harvey?
Mr. Harvey!
Thrones, disengage docking.
We'll cut right through the enemy team!
Good work, girls. Thank you both very much.
An enemy attack!
The fact that they weren't detected by the E-sensor until now means...
Miss Sumeragi...
What is it...?
Both of you, get into your normal suits.
All personnel, report to primary battle stations.
The enemy team is nineteen machines equipped with pseudo solar reactors!
Nineteen units.
The enemy has already found us.
But that's our trick!
Emergency launch of the four Gundams from their containers!
Intercept with formation S-34!
Enemy squad is now at 0130.
They probably thought they were going to catch us off guard...
Containers...open.
Gundams...launching!
Everyone, formation S-34!
Don't let your guard down!
Roger.
SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONE TOKYO
My father was a freelance journalist.
There's no one working in the news industry who doesn't know Mr. Crossroad's name.
I'm guessing your father had a lot to do with your sister deciding to join our company.
My father was framed by a company he was investigating...
...and ended up in prison.
I know.
My sister says that on her visits to see him, he would often say this to her...
"Search out the facts, then string them all together..."
"...and that's when the truth will be revealed."
I see.
That's why Kinue was so...
Please tell me!
What was my sister investigating?
Even I can tell that she didn't die in an accident.
What was my sister working on?
Kinue was doing an in-depth investigation of Aeolia Schenberg.
Huh? Aeolia? That Aeolia?
He's the scientist who told the world he was the founder of Celestial Being.
I'm so sorry, Saji!
If only I'd stopped her...!
Kinue...!
I have a visual on Gundams!
They predicted we were going to attack?
It appears they have a skilled commander.
Doesn't matter to me! I've never lost a mock battle...
If we're in machines with similar abilities, I have the advantage!
GN Field!
They broke through the field?
Did they figure out our particle compression ratio?
Th-They're fast!
Targeted and firing!
All I did was scratch it!
They fight well.
Two lead machines, approaching Exia.
Let's go, Daryl!
Right with you!
They're good!
It's our turn, boys!
Go get 'em!
No escape point! No escape point!
Is our destruction part of Celestial Being's overall plan?
That's not gonna happen!
How dare you?!
I'm not done!
Something's happened to Veda's support?!
System error! System error! System error!
You're kidding me!
I knew it!
What's the matter, Exia?!
Gundam!
Now we wait... as they come to punish us for our deeds.
This can't be happening! There's still so much for us to do!
Has Veda abandoned me?
It looks like the Gundams stopped moving!
Is this some kinda trap? Or are they...?
This is just like that time before...
I'm in Exia...
...yet I still can't become a Gundam.
I still can't...!
Are you certain about this, Master Alejandro?
In order for the world to unite, the UN Forces must be victorious.
And as long as the GN Drives remain...
...Celestial Being can be resurrected at any time.
I admit I'm a greedy man who wants it all.
The Earth and Celestial Being too... I want them both for my very own.
All Gundam systems are down! It's an intervention by Veda!
Switch over to our system, like we planned!
Roger.
Is this the end of my life?
You've done enough now, Soran.
It'll be all right.
Marina...
No!
No! I'm still alive! I'm alive!
Move, Exia!
I'm begging you to move, Gundam!
What...?
The system!
All right!
Tieria!
Miss Sumeragi! There was an error in Virtue's system transfer!
But why...?!
Please! Make it in time!
This guy's suddenly moving!
What's the matter, Tieria?!
The Big One's not moving!
He's ours!
How dare you!
Crap!
Now!
Not yet!
Henry!!
This will get me a kiss from the Colonel, alright!
I'm just...
Lockon!
This is for all the humiliation!
Tieria!
Lockon!
Tieria, what's going on?!
One more time!
Wh-What...?!
Someone new?
Not a lot of particles left after that blast!
Better make them count!
Gotcha!
That's the signal to withdraw!
No kiss from the Colonel!
Damn it!
I've no excuse for failing the Captain like this!
Is everyone okay?
Dynames, damaged! Dynames, damaged!
What?
Lockon, injured! Lockon, injured!
Lockon's hurt?!
It can't be...
All because he protected me?
Lockon Stratos...!
Very impressive, Celestial Being.
Creating a backup system in advance.
Splendid tactical forecasting.
That's Sumeragi Lee Noriega for you.
All Gundams, retrieve Dynames and Virtue! Hurry!
Christina. Notify Dr. Moreno.
Yes, Ma'am!
Lockon...
Master Alejandro.
I have just finished clearing level six.
We're almost there. Almost.
Not bad results for a team that was put together in a hurry.
Have them proceed at full speed on analysis and mass production of the GN Drives.
Yes, that's correct. Thank you.
Our side has now acquired the strength to stand against them as equals.
Prepare for a press conference.
The age of the Gundams is over.
And now, the world will change.

Is the curtain about to rise on a new age?
