2 YEARS AGO
I'd like to introduce you to our newest Gundam Meister.
His codename is Setsuna F. Seiei.
He'll be piloting GN-001.
Hold on one moment, Miss Sumeragi. He's still just a child.
His piloting characteristics meet all the standard levels.
Was it Veda that made this choice?
Of course.
I find that hard to believe...
What's the big fuss?
We're all here because we made the decision to join this organization...
...and become Gundam Meisters.
Age has nothing to do with it... isn't that right?
And you are?
My codename is Lockon Stratos.
The man who can target and fire from beyond the stratosphere.
You want to change the world with your Gundam too, right?
Yes.
So do I, Setsuna.
Lockon! Lockon!
- Lockon! Lockon! - Lockon Stratos...
Lockon! Lockon!
- Lockon! Lockon! - Lockon... Stratos...
|sora akaku someru kokutan no yami The ebony darkness dyes the sky red
|nomikomareta hoshikuzu tachi All the stardust is swallowed up
|hakanaku furitsumoru hai no yuki The snow falls like ash, evanescently
|mitsumeta nageki no mado I gaze through the window of sorrow
I never dreamed
|kooritsuku Everything freezes over
There... l come for you
|omoi wa sekibaku no yozora ni My wishes soared into the lonely night sky
|maiagari kudaketa They soared and shattered
|kono sekai ga katachi wo kaeru tabi ni Every time this world changed shape
|mamoritaimono wo The very thing l wanted to protect
|kowashite shimatte itanda I destroyed it without realizing it
Mistress.
We just received a special encoded message from the Ptolemaios.
Concerning what?
"We've begun exchanging fire with UN Forces mobile suits..."
"...equipped with pseudo GN Drives." That's all.
I see.
I wonder which side the world will lean toward.
The United Nations' side, or theirs...?
ENDLESS POEM
You...!
- Stop it, Tieria! - Because you went down to the surface...
...our fighting strength was critically divided!
Answer me!
Why did he have to die?!
Why did he...?
The enemy's still out there!
Instead of complaining, help us!
Sorry, Feldt. Sorry, Feldt.
It's not your fault, Haro.
You don't need to apologize...
Feldt...
I can't stand moments like this.
Of the twenty-seven machines, only eleven were able to make it back.
We even lost the one we'd captured earlier.
And furthermore... the Gundams seem to have new abilities.
Colonel Mannequin, I suggest we withdraw from this airspace.
Continuing would needlessly risk the lives of our soldiers.
I do agree with you...
...but UN Headquarters says it's sending reinforcements here to bolster us.
Reinforcements?
Are you saying they have more machines equipped with those GN Drives?
I don't know, but our orders are to launch a second assault as soon as they arrive.
I'm detecting a GN-X approaching this ship.
- What? - Must be another survivor.
We have a match on the machine.
The pilot is Second Lieutenant Patrick Colasour of the AEU.
Sorry, Colonel.
They got me.
You really had me worried there...
...you idiot.
That winged Gundam...
It wasn't affected by my quantum brain waves.
Can it block them out now? Or maybe...?
Whatever the case, I'll settle this in the next battle!
I am a perfect Super-Soldier.
I'm not about to lose to that inferior Subject E-57!
As you instructed, I deployed some satellites that are emitting GN Particles.
But do you think they'll really fall for this?
It can't hurt to try.
They're going to be watching the asteroid field closely.
We need to do everything we can.
So, what's the status on the Gundams?
Kyrios is good to go once we remove its flight unit.
With Virtue, we'll strip its outer armor and deploy it as Nadleeh.
I've prepared weapons for it, too.
How long until you're all done?
It'll take us at least eight hours.
Have it finished in six hours, please.
Gotcha.
Right now, the only things we can count on in a fight are the assault containers, Exia...
...and the GN Arms.
The Trans-Am is our last resort, but it has a time limit.
Tieria?
Sumeragi Lee Noriega, please submit your next mission plan.
You want to go back and fight already?
Of course I do.
Wiping out the remaining enemy machines equipped with pseudo GN Drives...
...would prove to the world how strong we still are.
Then... we could continue with the plan.
But the risk here is enormous.
And the enemy could have reinforcements.
I know.
But I'm not the only one who feels this way. All of the Meisters do.
Allelujah and Setsuna too?
Please.
The determination to survive...
Ali al-Saachez...!
He was the one who killed Lockon...!
Both of my parents and my little sister...
...were killed by the KPSA in an attack by a suicide bomber.
Let me avenge my family. Let me settle this score.
Did you throw away your life in a desperate bid for revenge... Lockon?
What? Are you afraid of dying?
That's a blasphemy against God!
After death, there is no God.
At this point, I think Celestial Being's existence...
...the fact that we exist...might have a certain significance all by itself.
What it means to exist...
That is, what it means to be alive...
...is to face the world and carry on the ideas of those who've died.
And not for God...
I'll do it... by my own will.
Message from observation team thirty-four.
They've detected four objects moving away from the asteroid field.
Have the recon team patrolling the asteroids' perimeter confirm this.
- Yes, ma'am! - It's a diversion.
Yes, I'm sure it is.
A silhouette's approaching from behind us!
What kind of machine is that?!
I wonder... Is that something else that was taken from Celestial Being?
Really?
Setsuna and the others have decided to fight?
So we should be prepared for the worst.
That's a scary thought.
Really, we've got no choice but to fight.
What are you doing, Feldt?
It's a letter.
A letter?
It's to my Dad and Mom in heaven... and one for Lockon, too.
Feldt, your parents are...
Writing a will is supposed to be bad luck!
No!
I plan on staying alive...
...and I won't be seeing them for awhile, so I'm apologizing.
I see.
That's the spirit, Feldt.
I promised Lockon that I'd survive.
Good. Make sure you keep that promise.
Maybe I should write a letter too.
Yeah? To whom?
My mom in the colonies.
The woman who raised me.
Though I don't really have fond memories...
I kinda ran away from there. Then Veda chose me.
At least you have someone.
Tsuki mo naku kaze no tsuyoi yoru ni ha On moonless windy nights...
- That's the truth. - So what about you, Lichty?
My mom and dad were both engineers who worked on an orbital elevator.
When I was just a kid, they cashed in their chips in the Solar Power Wars.
Nemurenai mama de I'm unable to sleep...
amai genjitsu no yume wo daki And so I embrace dreams of a sweeter life...
Everyone's got a story.
Well, it's because of our stories that we all joined up with Celestial Being.
Muriyari nobashita te mo tsukamenu I can't grasp the hand reaching out to me...
Come to think of it, this is the first time we've ever talked about our pasts like this.
We were sworn to confidentiality... but that doesn't matter now.
Tashikana mono nante kitto doko ni mo nai hazu I might never find anything certain anywhere...
You're right about that.
How's Nadleeh's maintenance coming along?
Love for a day...
They're all done.
hanayagu hi mo Even the bright cheerful days...
But there's no more Trial System, is there?
With Nadleeh's particle storage capacity...
I'm still doing it.
shizuka ni itamu yoru mo Even the nights when we suffer silently...
There's no choice. I must take revenge for Lockon.
You shouldn't get so worked up about this.
Kakusenai mune no oku no kizuato There are scars deep in our hearts that we can't hide...
I need to finish this.
Setsuna.
Feldt Grace. What's the matter?
wo tokihanate Let them be set free...
I wrote a letter to Lockon.
Love Today...
kotae wa zutto The answer was always there...
minareta keshiki no naka ni In the scenery we'd grown used to seeing...
Do you have anyone you want to write a letter to, Setsuna?
Hitokoto tatta hitokoto de One word, just one word changes everything...
No, I don't.
I see... how lonely for you.
He's the lonely one.
kyou made ga kagayakidasu Everything up to this day begins to shine...
Huh?
So Haro, you stay by his side.
Here, next to Lockon Stratos.
Love Today, learn to love today...
Lockon! Lockon!
Keep him company... Haro.
Roger! Roger!
Thank you.
The E-sensor has picked up something. Enemy team detected.
- Relative velocity 0235. - Let's go, Feldt. - Right.
Combat range in...
- How many machines in the enemy team? - Th... Thirteen of them!
But there's a really big one among them!
- What kind of big one? - I'll bring it up on the monitor!
Sorry I'm late!
Is that some kind of battleship?
No, it's not.
That's a mobile armor loaded with pseudo GN Drives!
- It's firing a particle beam! - From that far away?!
Why, you...!
Number one particle emitter was hit!
Transfer particle supply to Emitter Two!
- Roger! - Second shot coming in!
- Lichty! - I'm on it!
Launch the assault container!
Your target's the enemy mobile armor!
Roger!
Assault container, taking off!
Lichty, hide Ptolemy behind those asteroids.
Roger!
Kyrios and Nadleeh, launch straight from the containers.
Protect Ptolemy!
Roger!
Stick to the plan and engage their spaceship in a two-pronged attack.
Use the asteroids to cover your approach... and then destroy the target!
Roger!
Now it's my turn to win some glory!
High velocity object approaching!
An enemy!
Lieutenant Colonel!
- Leave it to Alvatore! - Yes, sir!
This time, we'll bring the battle to a clear decisive end!
Enemy mobile suits approaching from port and starboard!
G- Gundam!
I'm not letting you get any further!
But you're half-naked!
It's too early to use the Trans-Am!
What's wrong?
That suit...It's you!
Sorry, Allelujah.
But...
I don't wanna die just yet!
Subject E-57!
That's me!
Leave this one to me!
We're in range! Time to launch the attack!
A GN Field?! How'd they make it so strong?
In that case, how about this?!
Ptolemy...!
What's this?
It hit the Ptolemaios!
Damn, you filthy bastards!
Serious damage to containers three and four! Starboard side is wrecked!
Lower shutters E-20 to 68!
Roger!
Miss Sumeragi...!
The medical room...!
Why did you have to go off and die, idiot?!
No way...!
There's a problem with the system!
We can't generate a GN Field!
Damn it.
I'll head to the assault container! We've got to hit back!
Let Ian know.
Roger!
How dare you!
Trans-Am!
What the hell is this?!
Nadleeh, ready to destroy...!
What?!
A lucky break for me!
Not yet... I can't die yet!
For the sake of our plan... and also...!
Die, Gundam!
...For the sake of Lockon!
Huh?
You screwed up, you sentimental idiot!
They're still alive!
Come on, hit them!
Feldt...!
Yes?
There's an irregularity in Dynames' solar reactor.
There may be a problem with the linkage.
I don't have any data on that...
Hurry up, or at this rate we're finished!
Roger!
That was a lie, wasn't it?
- You could tell? - Yeah, totally.
There's a machine headed straight for us!
We're gonna survive!
I know we are. I don't want Feldt scolding me anymore!
Fire GN Missiles!
He's trying to get in our blind spot!
I won't let him! I'm separating the container from Ptolemy!
- What's the situation? - Feldt?!
Here he comes!
Chris!
Chris! Lichty!
Why you...!
Chris! Lichty!
Come in, Chris!
Lichty...
I'm okay...
I was caught up in it... with my parents...
...and half of my body... ended up like this.
I don't know if I'm half-dead... ...or half-alive...
Lichty...
I'm such a fool.
There was this amazing guy right next to me... this entire time...!
You're right...
I just couldn't see... I was blind.
Yeah... You were...
Lichty...
Lichty! Come in! Chris!
Miss Sumeragi...
Chris?! Thank heavens you're safe! Is Lichty all right?
Feldt. Are you there?
I am.
I'd like you to... try harder... to stay in fashion...
Why are you saying this?
You have to live your life to the fullest, for Lockon's sake, too.
Please do it...
Change this world... Change it.
Please...
- Chris!! - Lichty!
Christina Sierra!
- Our attacks aren't having any effect! - In that case, we'll dive right into him!
And blast him up close!
Yes!
What?!
You irritating phantoms of that detestable Aeolia Schenberg!
You should be honored that I, Alejandro Corner...
...will offer you all up as sacrifices for my new world!
As if!
Damn... Setsuna!
Exia... Setsuna F. Seiei...
...will eliminate the target!
onaji egao shiteta We shared the same smile
sonna bokura mo ikunen mo kasane sugite But now too many years have passed
surechigau keshiki wo The scenery keeps changing

As life goes on

Don't let it go...
kono hiroi daichi to nakamatachi no koto This vast earth and these friends
Kyrios is fallen.
Nadleeh is fallen.
Exia is fallen.
Life mingles with death.
