Cagalli!
Yuna!
I'm glad you're okay.
What did you say?!
You're finalizing a new alliance treaty with the Atlantic Federation?!
What in the world has gotten into you, and at a time like this?!
This must be done precisely because of the situation we're in.
Ideals are important, but right now it is more important that you think about...
...with whom we should be sharing these feelings of pain?
Everyone knows by now what really caused that thing to fall, right?
One of the guys told me.
"Why have you forgotten the sorrow of the lives mercilessly thrown away here?!"
"Why do you live in a fabricated world, laughing with those who caused this?!"
I'm going to the PLANTs.
But, as we saw...
...the fact is, there are still people who are swayed by my father... by his words.
Hi! Mayu here! I'm sorry. I can't talk to you right now!
I'll call you back later, so please leave your name after the beep!
Birdy.
Is it... a cenotaph?
That's ludicrous! There's gotta be some mistake!
No, there's no mistake about it.
The Alliance, including Eurasia and the Atlantic Federation...
...have made a joint statement.
Should the PLANTs refuse to agree to these demands...
...they will be deemed a hostile enemy state and a threat to humankind on Earth.
At which time the Alliance will take all necessary steps to eliminate that threat...
...including the use of force.
We're finished loading containers R34 to R42 from the inventory list.
Mobile suit pilots boarding at Netanyahu...
...please meet at briefing room number 35.
Elevators 34 to 37...
...will be closed from 1700 to 1800 hours.
Shuttle 608 is arriving at Gate 12.
We've finished receiving backup parts for the Fourth Dagger L corps.
That's completely out of the question!
How can I word things so that they'll understand?
I doubt it'll make any difference, whatever you say.
You could say that they had no such intention to begin with!
What's this nonsense about arresting the terrorists and handing them over?
They still refuse to accept the details of our investigative report...
...stating that the terrorists have all died!
Also, this compensation...
...elimination of armament...
...dissolving the administration, Alliance observers on the Supreme Council...
They're absolutely insane!
Naturally, they don't believe we'd accept these terms.
I imagine these demands are brought forward by people...
...itching to destroy the PLANTs and looking for an excuse to attack.
Saying that we're enemies of Earth and a nuisance in Space.
Just the same, this is senseless!
Does the Alliance really want to continue on this course and open hostilities with us?
If they do, they'll be the aggressors.
But the fact is, they are clearly saying they will, unless we comply!
Their Lunar forces were unharmed, and the areas worst hit were along the equator.
The Atlantic Federation and Eurasia are as healthy as can be.
Should this escalate into a war, consumption will increase...
...and if the enemy is obvious, support will increase.
That's always been human nature.
However, just the same...
They're the ones threatening to do it. Not us!
Everybody.
If we show weakness, they'll trifle with us.
Anyway, we must quickly take steps to prepare for war.
No, it's too late for that at this point.
Please calm down, everybody!
I understand how you feel...
...but if we counter in a similar manner, we'll only be repeating things.
No matter what the Alliance tells us, we must continue...
...to search for a solution through negotiation.
Unless we remain steadfast, we will not be doing justice...
...to those people who lost their lives in the recent war.
But the Earth Forces Lunar Base is already taking action!
I understand your regard for the ideal, but currently we're at Level Red.
Naturally, we should be taking a counterattack stance.
If we deploy the military, it will likely cause a stir among the citizens...
...and further incite the Earth Forces to attack.
Mr. Chairman?!
But, although it cannot be helped...
...the fear of "Bloody Valentine" still remains within us all.
I'd like to leave decisions on defensive measures to the Defense Committee.
But at the same time, we must continue to make every effort...
...to resolve this issue through negotiations.
Should this lead to hostilities with Earth...
...we'd be playing right into the hands of the ghosts who dropped Junius Seven.
Please make certain that you do not forget that.
Alex!
Thank you. How do things look?
Not good at all. The citizens of the PLANTs are furious.
The Chairman says he will continue negotiating...
...to resolve this conflict through dialogue, but...
Some are beginning to interpret that as a sign of weakness.
I've told them of your arrival as a special envoy of Representative Athha...
...and requested a meeting.
But given the situation, I'm not sure if a meeting is possible.
I understand.
Now... so?
When exactly will the attack commence?
It's not that easy, Djibril. You're so impatient.
The PLANTs continue to say they'd like to cooperate...
...and have, in fact, gone to great lengths to satisfy us.
Also, there are nations still voicing disapproval of our actions.
To take forceful action at this point would...
Well, well. I thought I told you before.
Once we get rid of the PLANTs, things will calm down.
Once they're no longer around...
...who in this world could possibly be against us?
The Equatorial Union? The Kingdom of Scandinavia?
Oh, you must be afraid of Orb.
That nation... well, yeah.
A tiny nation like that?
This world is a system.
So there is a need for people to build, and people to manage.
If you don't have people managing things, even your front lawn can turn ugly.
Everyone would prefer to plant their favorite trees...
...keep the grass green, and grow beautiful flowers on their lawn, right?
Pull the weeds... but to plant grass wherever they please?
Is this really beauty? Is it really freedom?
Djibril...
All people like that sort of thing.
Places and things that are well managed, and that are safe.
Haven't people always made the effort to make the world that kind of place?
Building cities, creating tools, and making rules.
And now, we have earned the chance to do this at a level unheard of before.
So let's quickly get rid of them and hurry on to our next, enjoyable step...
...to make a beautiful lawn for us, of Logos.
Let's build the structure for our new world system.
Wait! Mayu!
Mr. Chairman!
I must make an announcement to the people of the world...
...about a very serious and unfortunate situation.
That's right! Activate all reserve machines for battle as well!
The Forty-fourth Battle Group has completed its sortie of machines.
Authorization code, Foxtrot November.
As of this moment, operation will be switched to Phase 6.
All units, release locks on all weapons.
...however, we have yet to receive a response to our satisfaction.
Since they continue to hide the criminals...
...who took part in this unprecedented terrorist activity...
...we have found the government of the PLANTs to be a clear and serious threat to us.
Therefore, we have given notice to the government of the PLANTs.
As forewarned...
...the nations of the Earth Alliance will use force...
...to eliminate this threat at midnight tonight.
Condition upgraded to Yellow! Condition upgraded to Yellow!
Changing ship's security status to B1.
As of now, outsiders are prohibited from boarding the ship.
All maintenance personnel, proceed to your positions at once.
Outbreak of war?! No way!
First battle wave about to enter firing range.
All units. Release locks on all weapons.
Get the commander of the Defense Forces! Where is our final line of defense situated?
All city ports have now been closed.
What about the warning announcement?!
We must also call on the military police to standby in case of panic!
Even if we escape, we have no place to go!
We must protect the PLANTs at all costs!
Sierra Antares One. Standby for take off. Launch system engaged.
So this is how it all ends up after all!
Sierra Antares One here. Joule Team, Yzak Joule, taking off!
Joule Team, Dearka Elsman, ZAKU, taking off!
The main fleet has commenced battle!
Good. According to plan. Let's get started here, too.
We will teach the Coordinators, once and for all, that there is no place for them...
...in this blue and pure world!
Twenty Earth Forces mobile suits have entered Area Two.
Third Fleet, proceed to Orange Beta 15.
The targets of the enemy's main forces must be...
...our military command structure and Aprilius.
We can't be sure of that yet.
Don't miss a single detail on the movements of that fleet!
Any word from the patrol units?!
Those guys...
Message from the Polar Orbit patrol unit.
Separate force, Mark fives confirmed... nuclear missiles?!
What?!
How many?!
Unknown, but it says quite a number of missile launchers have been confirmed.
Mr. Chairman!
Intercept enemy units closing in from Polar Orbit!
They're loaded with nuclear weapons. Don't let a single one fire at the PLANTs!
Nuclear attack units?! From the Polar Orbit?!
Then these guys are all decoys?!
Distance to firing range, 90.
Damn it!!
All systems, status normal.
Quantum fresnel terminals one through five, multiple coordinates online.
Operation time, seven seconds. Grid is tracking targets.
We only have one chance! Bring them in as close as possible! Got that?!
Pre-charge, online. Activating Neutron Stampeder.
Three Nazca-class vessels at Red 22 Beta!
However one vessel is loaded with unknown equipment!
Okay, get 'em! This time for sure, for the preservation of our blue and pure world!
Damn!! I can't get there in time!
Fire Neutron Stampeder!
Fire!!
First wave of attack has been eliminated!
What?!
Something's been fired from that Nazca-class.
What? What just happened?
All nuclear missiles have been destroyed.
The nuclear attack force has been completely eliminated!
The Stampeder's quantum fresnels have melted and activated the breaker.
The system has now stopped functioning.
What a heart-stopper.
I'm so relieved that the Stampeder made it in time.
But it'll only work once. They'll know better the next time.
I just hope this'll put an end to things.
At least for now.
I'll go and wash my face.
Okay.
Yes, don't worry. I know that. How much time do we have?
Then we have time to check things over once more, right?
Haro. Haro. Are you okay?
Lacus?!
Athrun!
Oh, I'm so glad! You've finally come to see me.
Ah... huh? What?
What are... you doing here?!
I've been waiting for such a long time... for you to come and see me!
What did you say?!
As I said, they've all been eliminated.
Every single unit with the nuclear attack force...
...has disintegrated without a trace. In an instant.
The Earth Forces have retreated to the Lunar Base for now.
That's... impossible!
Miss Lacus.
Oh, yes. I understand.
See you later.
It's so great to see you. I'm thrilled, Athrun.
Hey, hey, hey! Ready, go!
Alex?
Oh, right. I'm supposed to be seeing you.
I'm terribly sorry to keep you waiting for so long.
Oh, it's okay. Um...
What is it?
No. It's nothing.
Angered PLANTs. That in itself is an ironic position.
If it is fact that history repeats itself, then where in history are we standing now?
Is what lies ahead this time the path to where we wish to go?
Next, on Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny, "A Father's Spell".
Wake up to the new world, Saviour!
