Orb?!
Yup. The reinforcements are Orb, I hear.
How could that be? Why that nation?
The truth is, you really liked Orb, didn't you?
That's why you're angry about it, right?
You're wrong! There's no way!
Thermal identification confirmed! One o'clock! Twenty enemies!
They're mobile suits! Type verified, Murasames and Astrays from Orb!
Damn!
30 to port. Establish the Tannhauser's firing axis!
Enemy vessel ready to fire positron cannon!
Evade! Starboard 20!
Fire!
What was that?! From where?!
What the...
The Freedom! Kira!
Tannhauser has been destroyed. The FCS is down.
Hurry putting out those fires! Reactivate FCS! Damage control crews, standby!
We're landing on water! All hands, brace for impact!
Kira.
I am the Orb Union's Chief Representative! Cagalli Yula Athha!
What?!
Cagalli?
Orb Forces, stop fighting at once!
Pull your troops out!
Orb has sent forces to Suez?! You're kidding!
What's Unato thinking? What's gotten into the ministers?!
But it can't be helped, can it?
Joining the Alliance meant precisely this.
And you acknowledged it, right Cagalli?
Kira.
You didn't think it would come to this?
I... I...
Don't be so hard on her. We forced Cagalli to come with us.
If she were still in Orb, this sort of thing might never have happened.
No. I think it would've been the same.
With Cagalli's state of mind back then I don't think she could've stopped this.
But she's not the same now, is she?
I'm sure that right now, Miss Cagalli...
...can see clearly the things that were not visible to her back then.
Lacus.
So, what do we do about this situation?
Now that Orb has added its power to that of the Earth Forces...
...the balance of power is shifting again.
Yes, you're right.
And in the future...
Kira! Sortie!
Cagalli...
Call it foolish sentiment...
...but if it's at all possible, I want to stop this battle!
Orb must not participate in this fight!
No, not just Orb!
The reality is, no nation should! Nobody!
We can't let the world go on fighting war after war!
So please, Kira!
And even if it's a little at a time...
...we have to make our way off this misguided path!
Orb has to do the same!
Although, for certain reasons, I've been away, it doesn't change the fact...
...that I, Cagalli Yula Athha, daughter of Uzumi Nara Athha...
...hold the position of Chief Representative of the Orb Union!
I hereby order you!
The Orb forces must respect the ideals of the nation, stop fighting immediately...
...and withdraw their troops!
Cagalli...
Yuna Roma Seiran.
How do you explain this?
Well, you see...
Who is that person? Is she really your country's Representative?
If so, why has she waited until now to suddenly appear aboard that thing...
...and then order your forces to withdraw?
Unless I receive an answer from you right now...
...things could get very nasty for you and your nation.
W-Well this is... Um, what I'm saying is...
I have no idea who that is!
Lord Yuna! What are you saying?!
That is the Strike Rouge! And that crest! It belongs to Lady Cagalli!
Th-That doesn't prove that Cagalli is piloting that thing!
We don't know that, do we?!
However! That voice!
Sh-She's an imposter! She has to be!
I can tell! I can tell! I'm her husband, you know!
Lord Yuna!
I-If not, then she's being brainwashed!
My true, sane Cagalli...
...would never do something stupid like this and make a fool out of me!
Captain.
Lord Yuna!
What are you doing?! Hurry and fire, you fools!
Shoot down that ship! That plague! All teams, prepare to attack!
How can you do such a thing?!
If we don't, the Earth Forces will start attacking us! And our nation!
I've come this far, all for Orb!
We can't turn around now and say "we quit", can we?!
Captain. Ah...
Will you just wait a moment? Our ship is in the worst possible position right now.
What's going on? I can hardly make sense out of this.
I can't imagine Orb pulling out its troops in this situation.
Captain.
If there is any further movement, I'll also sortie. Is that okay with you?
Yes. Thank you.
Aim missiles. Unknown mobile suit.
Captain Todaka!
We will fire at the rebels that are misleading us!
Hurry up and fire!
I'm counting on you, Freedom.
Fire!!
Orb fleet! What are you doing?! I said...
Good! There was a little confusion with that strange interruption...
...but fortunately we have the upper hand!
The Minerva's wounded! It's going down today!
I've been waiting for this! Leave it to me!
Arthur! Intercept!
Y-Yes, ma'am!
Meyrin! Send out all of our mobile suits!
Yes, ma'am!
GO!!
Damn! I won't let you!
Heine Westenfluss! GOUF! Taking off!
Lunamaria Hawke! ZAKU! Taking off!
Rey Za Burrel! ZAKU! Taking off!
What are you doing?! Hurry up and attack them!
Our mobile suit teams! Hurry!
Ah, but... sir!
We've gotta sink the Minerva! Otherwise we'll be scolded again!
We're part of the Earth Forces now!
And that ship too! The Archangel!
Are you serious?!
That ship is the main cause of our nation's state of confusion.
Always. Always. Always...
So get rid of it too!
Unless we can show that masked man that we're competent...
...things won't look good for us.
You're going down today! Bastard!
Damn it!
All Orb Forces mobile suit teams, join the Earth Forces and attack the Minerva.
That woman is not Lady Cagalli! That woman is not Lady Cagalli!
That's not Lady Cagalli?
An imposter?
Rey!
Orb Forces! Can't you hear me?!
Don't you understand what I'm saying?!
Orb Forces! Stop fighting!
Cagalli. It's no use.
Unfortunately, talking to them isn't gonna work.
Kira.
Stay back. I'll do what I can.
Kira.
Take this!
Missiles approaching from 10 o'clock! Eight of them!
Evade! 10 to port!
Tristans! Fire!
Bring the Kuramitsuha and the Iwasaku to the front!
Corner those two ships!
Evade! Lower bow 15 degrees! Descend!
Mr. Waltfeld! Please look after Cagalli and the Archangel!
Roger that!
But I'm not capable of pulling off what Kira can do...
...so back me up, Captain Ramius.
Roger. As soon as the Murasame takes off, we'll head over to the Minerva.
Keep an eye on Orb and the Earth Forces.
Yes ma'am!
How dare you?!
I'm not like the ZAKUs! Remember that!
Bastard!
I'm losing to him in battle ability? Me?!
Course clear. Commander Waltfeld, Murasame is cleared for take off.
Andrew Waltfeld! Murasame! Taking off!
If you can't fire, then retreat, Cagalli!
If you are defeated here, what'll happen to Orb?
We will not invade another nation...
...will not allow another nation to invade...
...and will not intervene in the conflicts of other nations.
There's a reason that we of Orb have been able to make this our ideal...
...and maintain it in an age of numerous changes.
It is because we believe it to be...
...the most basic and important component...
...of the framework we human beings call a nation.
Now, as we face this situation, I still believe this to be true.
If we become a military segment of the Earth Forces, sure...
...we can avoid a possible invasion for the time being.
However, it would in turn allow the most important thing, the spirit of Orb...
...or rather the spirit of the people, to be invaded.
The Earth Forces threaten to attack us unless we join their camp.
However, we are unable to abide by the rules they have set out.
If we do agree to join forces now, the day will eventually come...
...when we as a nation are forced to fight against other nations...
...that the Earth Forces designate as enemies.
An invasion is unacceptable. This is Orb's ideal.
We will continue to make the effort to protect our ideal, right to the end.
However, unfortunately the threat is right at our doorstep. I ask that you all...
I did say that I'm not as skilled as Kira... but I'm dropping you!
Four mobile suits off Minerva's starboard!
Can you aim right in between?!
Sure thing!
Don't hit the machines! Gottfried two! Fire!!
C-Captain! That ship's...
First, it destroyed our cannon, but now... how come?
Could they possibly be here for the absurd purpose of just stopping this battle?
Kira!
Kira! Damn!
Who is this guy?!
What?!
Who the hell is that guy?
This feeling...
The Kuraomikami-class ahead of us, ahead to port. We're gonna stop it.
Valiants! Fire!
What just happened?! Which side are they on?!
Damn! This is crazy!
Who are you?!
Kira! Stop it! Why are you doing this?!
Attacking all of us?! You cocky bastard!
What?!
How dare you!
How dare you do this to me!
You're in my way!!
Heine!!
Heine.
Kira!
If it were just feelings or power...
...the heart that understands them is the same.
Not knowing what has separated them...
...people find themselves standing on different paths before they know it.
Within this time that continues flowing...
...what have Shinn and Rey discovered?
