Solar wind velocity remains the same.
Flare level at S3. Estimated arrival time, 30 seconds.
Hurry! What about unit nine?
Yes, almost ready.
Emitted particle arrival confirmed.
Beginning countdown to flare motor activation.
Ten, nine, eight, seven...
...six, five, four, three, two...
...particle flux detected! Flare motors activated!
Junius Seven has started to move.
Allen... Christine...
After this, I can finally see you again.
Now fall! Our great tombstone!
On a world that has forgotten the voices of sorrow, that closes its eyes to reality...
...and continues to live in overflowing deception...
We shall give them a lesson!
Junius Seven has accelerated by an additional two percent.
It remains on a collision course with Earth, zero, zero, five.
What in the world happened?
Considering its mass, it's unthinkable that it could change course so easily.
Have you contacted the Chairman on board the Minerva?
Are they sure it's headed for Earth?
What steps can we take to avoid collision?
What'll we do about warning Earth?
What is it?
Captain.
I've got the Supreme Council online for Chairman Durandal. Channel one.
What?! Junius Seven is moving?
But how?!
I have no idea.
Only that it is in fact moving, at quite a speed...
...and on the most dangerous possible route.
We've been able to confirm the same with our own crew.
But how could such a thing happen?!
It was said to be in a stable orbit, safe for hundreds of years.
Either a collision with a meteor, or some other factor...
The bottom line is, it's moving. Even as we speak...
It's headed for Earth.
If it falls...
If it falls, what'll happen to Orb? Or to Earth for that matter?!
Considering that mass...
...I'm sure you already have a good idea, without me telling you.
The PLANTs are doing everything they can to find out how this happened...
...as well as how we can avoid a collision.
I must apologize for involving you in yet another incident...
...but I have ordered the Minerva to proceed...
...toward Junius Seven as soon as repairs are finished.
Fortunately, we happen to be in close proximity.
I hope for your understanding, Princess.
Of course! This is as grave a concern to us... as it is to you.
If.. If there's anything at all that I can do to help...
I understand your feelings.
But right now, I ask that you please remain calm, Princess.
If there's anything you can do, we'll be sure to ask you.
It may be difficult, but we will try to establish direct contact with your nation.
We will also take steps to have a ship come and pick you up as soon as possible.
Yes. Thank you.
Yeah? But how could it have moved?
Either a meteoroid hit, or some influence to alter the orbit.
Is it really on a collision course with Earth?
That's what Bart said.
At Armory One, we have the robbery...
...and then before that's even settled, this happens? What's going on?
But what should we do?
And... What should we do with Junius Seven now?
Smash it to pieces.
Smash it?
That thing?
It's impossible to change its orbit.
If we want to avoid a collision, we have no choice but to smash it to pieces.
But that thing's huge.
Even to split it in half, it has a diameter of at least 8 km!
How do we smash something that big?
And many of the bodies of those who died are still there.
But if it collides, Earth will be annihilated.
After that, nothing will remain. Not even those living on Earth now.
Earth... destroyed?
That's right.
That's terrible.
But, well, I guess it can't be helped, can it?
It's beyond our control.
But it might end up being easier for us on the PLANTs...
...since it'll eliminate all kinds of hassles.
Cagalli!
How can you guys talk that way?!
"It can't be helped?!" "End up being easier?!"
Do you have any idea how serious this is?! What could happen to Earth?!
How many people will die as a result?! Do you guys realize what you're saying?!
I'm sorry...
So is that the way you people from ZAFT think?!
We went through that war! And we all suffered!
And finally, under Chairman Durandal's administration...
...things seemed to be changing! Is that not the case?!
Stop it, Cagalli!
It's not as if Yolant really meant what he said.
Can't you even tell the difference?!
How dare you!
Cagalli!
Shinn. Watch what you say.
Oh, that's right. This person is important, isn't she?
She's Orb's Representative, after all.
You...
Put a lid on it, Cagalli!
I take it you dislike Orb. May I ask why?
I hear you used to live there.
If you're trying to pick a fight with the Representative...
...for some unrelated, trivial reason, I will not allow it.
Trivial? I won't allow anyone to call it trivial!
And unrelated?! You're wrong on that account as well!
My family was killed because of the Athhas!
We believed in the nation, and we believed in your so-called ideals.
And in the end, my family was killed at Onogoro!
That's why I will never believe you!
And I will never believe the nation of Orb!
I'll never believe any of your idealism again!
When you said you'd protect the nation's justice...
...did you ever stop to think how many lives would be lost...
...as a result of your insistence?!
I don't want someone who doesn't have a clue to talk like she knows everything!
H-Hey! Shinn!
Now... this is just terrible.
An unprecedented danger. A scenario for the Earth's destruction.
Has anyone actually written one like this?
I've ordered Phantom Pain to return and investigate it. Just in case.
Will things be all right?
Things will be fine.
What good will an investigation do at this point?
That's what we're investigating.
So, why are we meeting, Djibril?
Well, I can't imagine the Atlantic Federation...
...and governments around the world...
...sitting back and letting that thing fall.
They're all busy dealing with evacuation issues and plans, should it fall.
To be honest, I'm very shocked about what has happened.
Junius Seven? How could it be? Why in the world?
At first, that's all I could think about.
Forget the prelude, Djibril.
No, this is precisely the point.
Given the situation, eventually the whole world will be asking those same questions.
Then we must provide them with answers.
Durandal of the PLANTs has already issued a warning to all Earth nations...
...and sent the message that he is doing everything within his power...
...to avoid a collision and deal with the situation.
He was very quick to do so.
They're panicking as well.
Then perhaps this really was caused naturally.
But, if so...
No. None of that is important any longer.
Oh?
What's important is what happens after this disaster.
When the people search for answers as they weep...
...the answers we provide them will be important.
Oh, boy. You're already thinking that far ahead.
Of course. Regardless of what caused it...
...it's a fact that one clumsy, stupid object above our heads...
...is going to fall to Earth very soon.
Think about it! Because of that thing, we end up looking spineless...
...as we run around trying to find a way out of the mess!
Somebody must pay for this humiliation.
But who?! Why, of course...
...the Coordinators who built that thing in the first place.
Am I wrong?
That's fine with me, but...
But at this rate... depending on the casualties incurred...
...we may no longer have the strength to fight a war.
That's why I have gathered you here today.
Taking shelter and escaping are fine...
...but immediately after that, we will attack them at once. With the plan.
I wanted you all to understand this beforehand.
I see.
You think aggressively.
With a growing hatred for the Coordinators...
...the people will be fired up.
If there are any left, that is.
We'll be uniting them, I imagine. With a love called "hatred".
It appears that everyone approves of the plan, Djibril.
Thank you very much.
Then we shall meet next after the incident. Have a detailed plan prepared by then.
Right.
But I wonder how great the casualties will be.
Wars are fine, but these things are nothing but trouble.
Whatever the case, it's all for the preservation of our blue and pure world!
The Voltaire and the Rousseau have taken the Meteor Breakers and gone ahead.
Right. We should hurry as well.
Have the Earth Alliance Forces taken any action yet?
We have yet to receive word on any action taken by them.
But they won't get there in time anyway...
...even if they do send over vessels from the Moon.
The best they can do now is fire missiles from Earth's surface to destroy it.
But that'll likely have little effect. It won't do much more than scorch the surface.
In any case, Earth is the motherland for us as well.
We must do everything we can to deal with this unprecedented danger.
What we can do with this ship and what it's equipped with might be limited...
...but I ask that each and every one of you give it your all.
Yes, sir!
Cagalli...
There's no use thinking about it, Cagalli.
You knew very well that there would be people like that.
However...
For him to talk of my father in that way!
My father suffered a great deal over the decisions he made.
Yet he...
But there's nothing we can do about it.
Asking him to try and understand won't help.
Right now, there's no way he could understand.
I'm sure it's overwhelming enough for him to deal with his own feelings.
You do realize that, don't you, Cagalli?
Looking at it again, this thing is really huge.
Of course it is! We live on one just like it, you know!
I'm just telling you that I realize just how big this latest mission of ours is.
Listen! It's not as if we have a lot of time!
The Minerva's also on its way. Work effectively!
Roger!
Confirming dodeca-pralimate charges loaded.
Ignition on breakers one through four to be set to 215.
All others, set to 738.
Huh? Is the Princess feeling better?
She also lost her father and friends in that war.
It's not as if she doesn't have a clue.
What is it?
N-No. Nothing.
Don't worry about it. I'm not upset.
What you said was correct.
1200 to Junius Seven.
Bringing up optical image.
Can you open a line with the Voltaire?
No, we can't get a normal line yet!
What's the matter, Athrun? Oh, Alex, was it?
I ask you this, knowing it would be unconventional.
Please lend me one of your mobile suits!
That certainly would be very difficult to do.
Do you seriously think I could authorize that, under the circumstances?
Do you want to put former Chairman Canaver's efforts to waste?
I understand completely. But given the situation, I can't just watch and do nothing.
If you do have a machine that's usable, then please!
I know how you feel, but...
Very well. I'll authorize it.
Under my authority as Chairman, for special cases.
Chairman?!
However, Chairman!
This is not a battle situation, Captain.
The more machines we can get out there, the better.
And you're well aware of his great skills.
What?!
What in the world?!
GINNs?!
What's going on?! Who do they belong to?!
Unknown! No response from the IFF!
What?!
How would you explain there being ZAFT mobile suits at the site?
Beats me. Perhaps this disturbance isn't a whimsical act of God, after all.
Send out Sting and the others. I want a better grasp of the situation.
Record as much detail about this as possible, too.
Three minutes to mobile suit launch. All pilots are to standby aboard your machines.
I repeat. Three minutes to take off. All pilots are to standby aboard your machines.
I know the mission is to support smashing it apart, but what are we expected to do?
Well...
That guy's flying out as well, I'm told.
They say for support work like this, the more machines we can get out, the better.
Really. Well, he is capable of piloting mobile suits.
He is?
One minute to mobile suit launch.
Tell them to follow the orders of Commander Joule once they get there.
Detecting heat emissions indicating a battle at Junius Seven!
They're mobile suits!
Abort launch!
A change in the situation. The Joule Team is engaged...
...with an unknown opponent at Junius Seven.
Yzak?
Unknown?
All units, alter your equipment for anti-mobile suit combat.
Bogey One also confirmed! Green 25, Delta!
That's here?!
What's going on?!
I have no idea.
What remains unchanged is that our mission is to support the Joule Team!
Upon completing equipment switch, please proceed for take off!
Central catapult online.
Launch area commencing depressurization sequence.
Emergency crew, standby. Core Splendor, all systems online.
Commencing takeoff sequence.
Even Bogey One's here.
The situation has changed. It could be dangerous.
Would you rather not go?
Give me a little respect!
Shinn Asuka, Core Splendor, taking off!
Rey Za Burrel, ZAKU, taking off!
Lunamaria Hawke, ZAKU, taking off!
Course is clear. Please take off!
Athrun Zala, taking off!
The scars of sorrow and pain always remain unseen within the heart.
Are tragedies repeated because people can't see the depth of each other's scars?
What everyone desires from deep within the heart. That is...
Next, on Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny...
..."The End of the World".
Dash through the pitch black skies, Gaia!
