Cosmic Era 72.
The war between the Earth and the PLANTs that lasted one and a half years...
...finally came to an end following the battle at Jachin Due.
The two sides drew up a peace treaty...
...amid the ruins of Junius Seven, a place of unprecedented tragedy.
The treaty outlined the intentions of both sides to gain...
...a greater understanding of the other, and promised every effort to maintain peace.
As such, the world was on a path back to stability.
However! Too much power will lead to another conflict!
No, Princess. Power is necessary because there will always be conflict.
Come on!
I can't let you die in a place like this!
This guy...
Another one!
Why is this happening? Do you guys wanna start another war?!
What's this?!
Another new model?! A Gundam?!
What's going on?! We have no data on this thing... Auel!
What?!
Damn you!
Shinn! Your orders are to capture them!
You do understand that, right?! Those belong to us!
I know that! I don't know if I can take them though!
How did this happen in the first place?!
How could we let the enemy steal them so easily?!
This isn't the time to be chatting about such things!
This isn't practice! Concentrate on the battle!
If they're here on a capture mission, there should be a carrier waiting outside.
See anything?
I don't need Gladys to tell me! I know!
Tell her not to interfere with issues under my control!
Okay, let's go! Inconspicuously, though.
Aim Gottfrieds one and two!
Load missile launchers one through eight with Korinthos!
Izawa craft and Harada craft, proceed to catapult.
Main guns target the portside Nazca Class!
Disengage Mirage Colloid upon firing. Engines to maximum.
Now, things are finally gonna get more interesting, gentlemen.
Gottfrieds! Fire!
What was that?!
The Hershel has been hit!
Missiles approaching Fourier! 18 of them!
Unidentified vessel located! One vessel!
Location Orange 25, Mark 8, Bravo, distance 2300!
That close?!
Mirage Colloid?!
Are they Earth Forces?!
Searching heat pattern library. No match found!
Counterattack! Send out ships! Mobile suits too!
Nazca Class approaching! Distance 1900!
Turn 20 immediately after launching mobile suits!
Main guns target Indigo, Nazca Class!
Don't get hit by their gunfire!
What's that?!
Athrun!
We're being attacked from the outside. The harbor?
Bastard!
Damn! This wasn't in our training!
Sting! That's our cue!
I know! Our ride's here, right?!
We're late! Our bus will leave without us!
I told you, I know!
What is that thing?!
We were told there were only three new models!
How should I know?!
So, what do we do?! That thing's not in our plans.
Neo messed up!
But we can't exactly ignore it! It'll be a pain if it decides to come after us!
Thinking of bringing its head along as a gift?!
Isn't that the sort of thing lame people do?!
Stella!
Athrun?!
Hold on!
Gotcha!
What?!
Take this!
Cagalli!
Damn it.
I won't let you have things your way!
Damn you!
I won't let you!
Hurry! Just open it enough so that I can get in!
Rey!
I don't know what damage it may have sustained!
Don't expect it to operate normally!
If you think there's a problem, retreat immediately!
Move over, Lunamaria!
What do you mean we can't use the harbor?!
Medic! Medic!
- Unload the Homjim Team's GuAIZs!
- Who's in charge of things here?!
Daddy!
- What about those three machines?!
- Why is this happening?!
- Make your way to the shelter now!
- Explain the situation to me!
Mr. Chairman!
This area is still dangerous!
Poisonous gasses have been released!
Please make your way to the shelter, Mr. Chairman!
How can I possibly do that?! I still don't have a good grasp of the situation!
But sir... At least board the Minerva!
Damn! This new model...
Chaos, Gaia, and Abyss...
This guy! Why won't he fall?!
How could something like this be allowed to happen?!
Damn it!
One more!
Auel!
Take this! How dare you try to trick us!
Sting! There's no end to this! My machine's running out of power!
We'll retreat! Stella!
Can you lose him?!
I'll destroy him in no time!
This can't be. I... I...
Shinn!
Retreat! Stop it, Stella!
I can't give in to this guy!
Stella!
Then you'll just hafta die here!
Auel!
I'll give Neo a message on your behalf! That you said "Goodbye"!
Die?
Auel! Why'd you hafta...
I...
She wouldn't stop! I had no choice!
Goodbye?
Shut up, you fool! That was uncalled for!
NOOO!!
We got the result we wanted, right?
You're not getting away!
Medical Squad D, you're needed in Sector Seven.
Water down the ammunition supplies in Storage Shed number 45.
- Send a message to Commander Christof. - B Block is also no use!
- That's right! That includes the wounded! - Hurry and regroup the fire fighting team.
A-thrun?
How are you feeling?
Yeah, I feel fine.
I'm sorry. I just... We'll find a safe place to disembark right away.
I'll be fine.
However...
Nazca Class has been destroyed!
GuAIZ approaching from portside rear! Three of them!
Fire anti-beam depth charges and accelerate by 20 percent for ten seconds!
Load Sledgehammers into tubes one through four! Call back our mobile suits!
Have they returned?
Not yet.
Did they fail?
They may have crushed the harbor, but it's also a weapon factory.
The longer they remain, the greater the disadvantage.
I know that.
But if they were likely to fail, I wouldn't have allowed them to take on the mission.
I'll go out and buy us some time. Take command of the ship.
Yes, sir!
Hangar deck! The Exus is launching! Get ready!
These guys are incredible, operating stolen machines so well!
If they escape, that's it! We've gotta stop them from getting away!
I know that, but...
It's no use! I'm getting nothing from the control room!
Gasses have been released from within the factory.
There's a level four evacuation warning for all districts from Espace to Ronal.
Captain. This isn't good, is it? Should they end up getting away...
We won't allow that to happen.
In any case, I wonder which unit of theirs executed this daring plan.
What was that?!
Mr. Chairman!
What's the situation?! What's going on?!
Damn it!
Minerva!
Send out the Force Silhouette!
Captain!
I approve! Send it out!
There's no longer any reason to keep it a secret, is there?
No.
Force Silhouette! Standby for take off!
- You're being... ...a damn pest!
Commencing launch sequence for Force Silhouette.
All systems go. Setting Silhouette Flyer on platform.
Central catapult online. Emergency crew, please standby.
This'll do it!
I can't let it happen!
I won't let you!
Shinn!
This guy...
He can change his equipment?!
But just because of that...
Stop it! Go away!
Fall!
Damn it!
Shinn!
Captain! They're heading out on their own!
The enemy vessel is still outside!
The Impulse's power is getting critically low! 300 left at the most!
We can't afford to lose the Impulse as well. Launch the Minerva!
Please, Talia.
Who are those two? Give me that!
You two over there! Don't move!
Commencing Minerva launch sequence.
This ship is now switching over to combat status!
Gunnery crews, prepare for FCS contact! Set projectile configurations to grade one!
Mr. Chairman, please prepare to disembark.
Talia. Under the circumstances, I can't exactly stay behind and wait for a report.
However...
I have a duty, and I also have the authority.
I will go with you. Please permit it.
This ship is about to take off. All units, please proceed to your stations. I repeat.
This ship is about to take off.
Don't move!
Who are you people? You're not with the Forces, are you?
What were you doing in that machine?!
Ath...
Lower your rifles.
This is Miss Cagalli Yula Athha, Chief Representative of the Orb Union.
Don't forget to lock down the equipment!
I am her attendant, Alex Dino.
We got caught up in the commotion while meeting with Chairman Durandal...
...and unable to escape, had no choice but to borrow the machine to defend ourselves.
Athha... of Orb?
The Representative has been injured!
I understand that the Chairman has also boarded this ship.
I'd like to see him!
Damn! Where'd they go?!
Shinn! Retreat for now. This is just reckless!
I see. I guess this was a mistake on my part.
I'm not dead. I'm all right.
I'm all right, aren't I, Stella?
We have a message from Captain Roanoke!
The message says to advance the Girty Lue to Blue 18, Mark 3, Alpha.
Message for all hands at system control.
As of this moment, LHM-BB01 Minerva's classification code has been validated.
The Minerva is currently going through its emergency launch sequence.
A55M6 warning alarm activated.
All dock damage control teams, remain on standby.

Gate control, online. Minerva, connecting to descent lift.
Monitor B Team, observe depressurization phase.
Is this ship escaping?
Is the damage to the PLANT that horrendous?
Launch gate depressurization complete. We're ready to go any time.
Start engines! The Minerva is taking off! Condition Red!
The Minerva is taking off. Condition Red announced.
Condition Red announced. Pilots are to gather in the briefing room at once.
Is this ship taking off to go into battle?!
Athrun!
Athrun?
From where?!
Now, I think I'll have that machine as well!
Shinn!
Flames dye the skies.
The sound of roaring gunshots.
Are these signs of something awakening?
What is hidden in the depths of the eyes of the young soldiers who meet?
Next, on Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny...
..."Warning Shots".
Crank up your engine to maximum. Take off, Minerva!
