This is a warning to the ZAFT warship Minerva.
You are approaching the territory of the Orb Union.
Our nation will not permit your ship to enter our waters.
Orb's seriously attacking us!
Shit!
That was...
Take this.
That's worn by FAITH members.
Although the FAITH team is named for the team's pledge of loyalty...
...you only need to pledge your loyalty to your beliefs.
I'm sure you're concerned about Orb and the position they're taking...
...but right now I want you to join the Minerva.
I have high hopes for that ship.
I have a feeling that maybe that ship can achieve what the Archangel did in the past.
Athrun Zala. Savior, taking off!
We've finished loading Rey and Lunamaria's machines.
The Impulse has just arrived.
I'd like to believe that there won't be any follow up attacks...
...but we can't be sure of that, can we?
In any case, have the pilots get some rest.
Arthur, hurry up with the damage reports.
Yes, ma'am.
Damage control. Promptly report on the status of each section.
Write out the table for the fourth law of Navigation for backup. a
We owe everything to Shinn for getting us out of that mess.
Exactly! That was unbelievable!
That was six vessels, including two carriers! Six vessels!
I've never heard of such incredible numbers!
Shinn!
Hey!
I heard about you, dude! You were some hero today, weren't you?
Yeah, you really did great.
You saved us all!
He should be getting a medal for this, for sure!
So those are the true powers of the Impulse...
Or rather, the true powers of the boy.
I had always wondered why he got that machine and not Rey.
It didn't quite make sense to me.
Was Chairman Durandal aware of this from the beginning?
Maybe he was. The Chairman is also a specialist in DNA analysis.
Whatever the case, he was incredible.
Honestly, I wasn't too sure we were gonna survive that situation.
Not even the legendary Freedom at Jachin Due could possibly top that!
As soon as we get to Carpentaria...
...we should notify the authorities and request a decoration.
I'm sure Headquarters will be quite surprised.
Hey, guys! Hurry and get back to work!
We still have a ways to go before arriving at Carpentaria!
But really, what happened out there?
You suddenly became a super ace.
Was it like the surge of energy you get when you're cornered?
I dunno. I can't really explain it.
I noticed the Orb vessels firing at us, and it pissed me off.
I thought, there's no way I'm gonna go down this way...
...and then suddenly my mind became really clear.
You mean, you lost it?
No. Not quite that. At least I don't think so.
Regardless, you saved this ship.
To be alive is a valuable thing.
Because it means that there is still a tomorrow.
The assembly has come to a decision.
Upon approval, the Government will move to officially join...
...the World Security Treaty Organization, as early as next week.
The way things are progressing, the world will be caught between...
...two forces that refuse to recognize the existence of the other.
Is that an acceptable future for you?
Learn the causes of war, Cagalli.
Attacking each other isn't going to end anything.
I'm sure you can see the potentially great danger in being stubborn...
...making an unnecessary enemy...
...and eventually facing that powerful nation in battle.
This nation is not your toy!
Would you stop saying things based solely on your emotions?!
I...
This place hasn't changed one bit.
Just like it used to be.
We really must do something about...
...getting proper graves for your father and the others.
Yuna...
I thought I might find you here.
But this is very thoughtless of you, walking alone, without a bodyguard.
It may be safe here in Orb, but you have to think of the situation we're in.
And? What do you want?
You came here because you wanted to talk to me about something, right?
Then hurry up and tell me.
Oh, boy.
First we've gotta do something about that language.
In your position, you represent the mother of our nation.
If you keep talking the way you do, you'll lose the people's respect.
It may be fine for the time being though.
I was visiting the monument to give notice to your father as well as make my vows.
I told him that I would protect both Orb and Cagalli with my life.
Yuna! You're not saying...
I know it's sudden, but it's been decided that the wedding will take place...
...on the same day as the signing of the treaty.
The citizens have been somewhat uneasy with the stance we've been taking lately.
By having the two events take place on the same day...
...we'll show the people that their leaders will work as one to protect this nation.
But no! Wait a minute, Yuna! I haven't even agreed!
Little girl's playtime is over, Cagalli.
Although I do feel sorry that it's over so soon for you.
You and I are both Naturals.
And Orb will form an alliance with the Atlantic Federation.
It was never possible in the first place.
He's a Coordinator. He lives in a different world.
Yuna!
Yelling at me won't do you any good, will it?
Are you going to tell the citizens that you won't marry me, and choose him instead?
Tell them that's why you'll stick with the PLANTs...
...and have the Atlantic Federation become our enemy?
I never said that!
Then what?
Will you abandon your nation and responsibilities, and flee the country?
Even though you are an Athha!
Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against Coordinators.
Birdy? Birdy!
But whether it's him, or that brother of yours...
...we can't afford to have any of them around you.
Cagalli Yula Athha.
Not with your current position as Chief Representative of the Orb Union.
Okay.
That's a nice breeze.
Yes.
I gave it a little more roasted flavor than yesterday's blend.
Tell me how you like it.
I liked yesterday's better.
I'm beginning to understand your tastes.
So now...
So...
Go ahead. Ladies first.
Shouldn't the man go first in this case?
Well, about Orb's decision...
Unfortunately, I don't think it can be helped.
Yes. I'm sure Cagalli did everything she could.
Although she's the country's leader, trying to deal with politics in this situation...
...is just too much for an eighteen year old girl.
I have no intention of blaming her. The problem lies with us.
Yes.
I don't know about you guys, but Kira, Lacus and I...
...should probably think about moving outta here.
To the PLANTs?
At this rate, that may be the only place left...
...where we Coordinators can live.
Ah, well... Ah, if it's okay with you, I thought you could come with us.
Well, they just had war declared against them.
The emotions of the PLANTs' citizens may still be heated...
...but I understand Chairman Durandal is a strong, fair man.
With him in charge, I can't imagine them senselessly rejecting Naturals.
There couldn't be a greater joy than to go live somewhere...
...and eventually die in peace.
What more do we humans want?
Got that? Leave no trace of her death at the site.
But make sure you get her.
Roger.
Too bad! Too bad! This isn't good!
I wonder where they're from.
Look after her and the children.
Proceed to the shelter!
Right!
I will not accept that!
What's the matter?
Get your clothes on!
We have unwanted guests. Look after Lacus and the kids with Captain Ramius.
Okay.
Lacus!
Everybody! Wake up!
What is it?
Oh, no.
Be quiet.
Miss Murrue?
Lacus!
Stay away from the windows! Hurry, get to the shelter!
Right.
What's going on?!
Is it a war?!
Everything will be fine. Now, let's hurry.
Miss Murrue!
Hurry!
Come on!
Miss Murrue! Behind you!
Our target has moved to Area E with the children.
She has no weapon. She only has one female guard with her.
Hurry up and finish her.
Mr. Waltfeld!
Now, hurry.
Quick! There are a lot of them!
I will not accept that!
Lacus!!
Are you all right?
Yes.
They're Coordinators.
Yeah.
And they're no amateurs. They've been trained in combat.
You mean they're with the ZAFT Forces?!
Coordinator special forces? Could it be any worse?
We can't be positive yet. But for them to go after her...
Everything will be all right.
But why Lacus?
I don't know.
How could we fail?! Bring out the ASSHs. We've got no choice.
We must take Lacus Clyne's life right here and now, no matter what!
Kira.
Commander Waltfeld.
Miss Murrue.
They were after me, weren't they?
Keep firing at one part of the shelter!
Once we get past that wall, our mission is over!
Yes, sir!
They were, and still are, after her! Damn!
Mobile suits?
Probably.
I don't know how many, or what they have out there...
...but with enough firepower, this place won't last long.
Lacus! You have your keys with you, right?!
We're opening the door. It's our only option.
Unless you suggest we all die here without putting up a fight.
No. Ah... We can't have that.
Lacus.
Kira.
Hand them to me.
I'll open the door.
No. But this...
It's all right.
I'm all right with it, Lacus.
Kira.
It would bother me more if I couldn't protect you...
...than for that to happen instead.
Kira.
So, give me the keys.
Why is that?
Three! Two! One!
Hurry!
They've torn through the wall.
Okay! Let's go!
Find our target. Where are Oluan and Kramnik?
What's that?!
Is that possible? It's the Freedom!
What?!
How could that be?!
Kira.
Birdy.
During the war, I believed in those eyes.
I believed in his skills.
That's why I was able to run along a path towards a dream.
However, as time passed, the world I wished for was no longer there.
I found myself standing alone in the dark.
Where are the wings destined to fly the skies going?
Next, on Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny...
..."Flight to Tomorrow".
Take off to a new future, Archangel!
