kanashimi wo oshiete
Teach me sorrow
hitomi wo tojite itara If your eyes are closed
kanashimi mo mienai to You won't see sorrow either
nukumori shirazu ni ireba If you live without knowing warmth
kizutsuku koto mo nai to You won't get hurt
omoidasenai yasashii koe wo A soft voice I can't recall
tomurau mune no unabara Within the depths of my mourning heart
kieuseta kako kara From my long forgotten past
Someone is calling to me
No. This place... scares me.
When will you take back
Protect... me.
The sorrow with your own hands.
Shinn... you said you'd protect me.
This moment that will never come again
Stella! Stella!!
I see only you
Shinn. I love you.
Stella!!
tookude shizuka ni hikaru Far away, quietly, shining
There's a gentle boat
It's all right now, Stella.
Afloat on surges of grief
mune no namimani ni kieru Between the waves, it disappears in me
Why, a warmth I shouldn't know
There's nothing more to fear.
Searching the confusing depths
And you don't have to suffer anymore.
The ripples spread
So...
Life's ship is sailing on
hoshi hitotsu mienai Can't see a single star
Advancing between the waves, going through
Nothing will ever scare you again.
Beyond the darkness
No one will ever come to hurt you.
I see only you
Therefore... Don't worry.
Rest here... in peace.
Sleep well...
I said I'd protect her.
I... I said I'd protect her!
Stella! I'm sorry!
Dig a new hole!
Burn the bodies that can't be identified.
The gas masks have arrived.
You're safe now.
Come here. You must've been scared.
We need to spray disinfectant, or we could be in for major problems.
Nothing heavy! The wall will collapse!
Anybody! Have you seen this child's parents?!
She's still breathing! Lend me a hand!
This is terrible. The Earth Forces have gone mad.
I agree.
Back in Diocuia, the Chairman asked the question: "What in the world are we doing?"
He had a point.
Honestly, I can't help but wondering...
...what repeating these battles will ever accomplish.
I like the Chairman's way of thinking.
He wants to maintain harmony with the Naturals...
...and avoid taking the same path we took in the last major war.
However, shouldn't we get rid of those who deserve to be eliminated?
Otherwise, I don't believe this war will ever end.
You may be right.
Shinn. Have a moment?
What are you doing?
Shinn. It's Athrun.
Oh.
The Freedom?!
Damn! Why can't I do it?!
Its reaction after the camera is directed at it is incredibly fast.
Impressive use of the thrusters.
He's controlling the machine like it's his own body.
The Freedom is more powerful than the Impulse, yet he's able to control it so well.
Shinn! And you too, Rey! What are you doing?!
What am I doing? Well, as you can see...
...I'm engaged in a simulation battle against the Freedom. What's the big deal?
Why are you doing that?!
Because it's strong.
As far as I know, this is currently the strongest mobile suit anywhere.
It even defeated the Destroy.
So I believe it's a positive thing to try and improve my skills using it as an opponent.
If anything happens, it's important that somebody at ZAFT know how to defeat it.
We can't make sense out of its actions as it stands!
Shinn!
What's the problem?!
Athrun! Shinn, you cool it too.
Athrun. I don't think Shinn is wrong.
The Freedom is strong.
And I don't know what its intentions are, but it is not part of our Forces.
A scenario along the lines of what Shinn just described is not unthinkable.
Even if he's a friend who fought alongside you in the past.
However! Kira is not an enemy!
What?!
Why is that?
He attacked our ship at the Dardanelles, and Heine lost his life because of him.
You yourself were shot down by him.
Although the ultimate battle decisions are made by the higher ranks...
...nobody can say for sure that the Freedom is not an enemy.
So, we must prepare ourselves to fight against it.
If it's all right with you, Athrun, it would be helpful...
...to get your advice, considering your experience fighting against it.
What?!
Never mind, Rey.
Advice from someone who lost the battle is no good to me.
What?
Excuse him, Athrun.
I'll have a word with Shinn later on.
The Freedom.
I'll defeat it myself.
Has he woken up yet?
Well... I'm told that he woke up briefly when his injuries were treated...
...and claimed to be Captain Neo Roanoke...
...of the Alliance Forces 81st Autonomous Mobile Group.
But after the physical examination, we found that the physical data...
...matched 100 percent to what we have on record in the ship's database.
This man is Mu La Flaga.
At least, his body is.
So how do you explain it?
Simply put, he's our Commander, right?
Yes. There seems to be no mistake about that.
Oh, boy. When did I become a Commander?
I made it clear that I'm a Captain.
Just because I'm your prisoner doesn't give you the right to demote me!
Wh-What is it? Is it love at first sight, pretty lady?
Mu!
Huh? Who's Mu?
Has he lost his memory?
It's not that he's lost it, it's like he has a different memory.
Otherwise, there's no way he'd be with the Earth Forces.
But that person is Mu.
That's why... I...
Guess so.
But without a memory...
...this could be hard for the Captain.
More like restorations than repairs.
It'd be quicker just to order new ones.
Maybe the ZAKUs, but what about the Savior?
What? There's still more?
I hope this is it. Everything's such a mess, so it's been almost impossible.
As far as I know, this is currently the strongest mobile suit anywhere.
If anything happens, it's important that somebody at ZAFT know how to defeat it.
Athrun.
What brings you out here?
Oh, nothing.
Shinn doesn't believe he's done anything wrong.
Well, he wasn't punished last time...
...so I guess this is what happens...
But still.
If he's allowed to do anything he wants, just because he's a super ace...
...it creates a feeling of discontent in those around him.
You're saying you're discontented?
And you want me to talk to the Captain about it?
You want something to be done about it? But, you know...
That's not it!
I just want you to do what you're capable of, Athrun.
Show us that you're skilled.
I think if you did that...
...Shinn would be more willing to shut up and do what you say.
Lunamaria.
You're too nice, Athrun.
Although I like that about you, it's a waste.
A waste?
Yes. You've earned the authority and power needed to do anything...
...so you should do what you want.
Authority? Power?
Yes. Right?
Mr. Chairman. Are you ready?
Yeah, thanks. Let's get started.
Three, two...
People. I'm Supreme Council Chairman Gilbert Durandal.
Please forgive me for sending you this message at a time when...
...we have yet to find a solution to end this war between the PLANTs...
...and the people of Earth.
But please, take a moment to listen to what I have to say.
Captain. Chairman Durandal is sending an urgent message from the PLANTs.
What?
It's being transmitted worldwide via every form of media.
What?!
I want you to understand something.
What is it?
What's going on?
Chairman Durandal?
Have everyone on board listen to this.
Have as many people as possible from all units listen to this.
Yes, ma'am!
Athrun?
Ah, right. Sorry.
Please let me explain to you the real reason why this war...
...will not end.
What in the world?!
Why we're at war in the first place.
An urgent message from the Chairman?
What?!
I'm sure many of you are not aware of this...
...given the policies of most nations to withhold information.
You're kidding!
What the hell...
My!
A monster!
These images were taken a few days ago when the Alliance's new super weapon...
...moved westward from Central Eurasia, destroying whole cities in its path.
What's this?!
This weapon of mass destruction attacked without warning.
It annihilated three cities along with their residents, who had no time to escape...
...and continued to move forward.
Stop it! Intercept the broadcast! Hurry!
We immediately began a defensive battle to stop its progress.
However, regretfully, many lives were lost before we could stop it.
It was the Earth Forces who staged this attack.
And it was Earth's cities that were attacked.
Why did this happen?
The Alliance says its purpose was, "To liberate these areas from ZAFT's rule".
But can this be defined as liberation?
To burn whole cities along with their citizens?!
It is true that we have been at odds with the policies of the Alliance...
...and for humanitarian reasons...
...have supported those seeking independence from Eurasia...
...one of the Alliance's member nations.
We've supported those who want...
...to put an end to this pointless and perpetual warfare.
Those who want to return to living a peaceful life.
Stella.
We've supported people who would rather live together with loved ones...
...than go to the battlefield.
Mommy?! Where's my Mommy?!
That monster from the Alliance burned down everything in its path!
Our enemy is the Alliance! ZAFT saved us!
If you think I'm lying, come and see for yourselves!
But the Alliance pushed aside our desire for peace...
...and did this to the people of western Eurasia...
...who wanted to work with us.
We wanted to choose a path to peace, through negotiation...
...rather than a world of fighting, fuelled by hatred.
The Alliance treated them as traitors...
...and burnt them all without even giving them the chance to be judged!
Even the children!
Stop it! What are you doing?! Stop that broadcast now! Stop that!
Djibril. How do you explain this?!
This problem is on your shoulders!
What is Durandal planning to do?
The Freedom... isn't there.
Why is it?!
Why have they done this?!
Who says that peace cannot be allowed, and that people must fight?!
Why would they say that?!
Why are we forbidden to live together, hand in hand?!
It is a fact that this war began...
...when a few Coordinators caused a major catastrophe.
It's Miss Lacus!
We will never forget the fact that we were unable to stop it...
...and the many tragedies that resulted.
There is no end to the deep sorrow and suffering...
...experienced by those who were affected.
And perhaps it could not be helped that these events...
...acted as a trigger for the conflict that followed.
However! Things must not remain as they are now!
There is no place for peace in this world of endless battle!
Haven't we seen enough suffering...
...from this cycle of eternal hatred?!
Please wipe away those tears that cloud your eyes, and look ahead!
Once you've shouted out the sadness within you...
...listen to what the other side has to say!
Then we will return to a world overflowing with light and kindness!
I believe that this is what people everywhere desire.
But there are those who will try to stop this at all costs.
They've been around since antiquity.
Those who demand that people fight, and continue to fight, so they will profit!
"Those who don't fight are cowards, and those who won't obey are traitors!"
They've repeated these words, as they handed us weapons...
...created enemies, and then ordered us to fight these so-called enemies!
The last thing these people want is a world of peace!
It is clear that they were behind this latest tragedy in western Eurasia!
Djibril!
Make them stop! Stop it at once!
Why can't you stop it?!
Are you all aware that Blue Cosmos, who detest Coordinators...
...and refer to them as dangerous mistakes who shouldn't exist...
...was in fact created by these people?
These people hide in the shadows...
...create enemies one after another...
...and make sure that war is always raging in this world.
They're a munitions industry conglomerate and merchants of death, "Logos".
They are the true enemies to every one of us hoping for peace!
Logos?
Mr. Chairman...
I wish from the bottom of my heart for a world where war will never again take place.
And therefore, I take this opportunity to officially declare my intention...
...to put a stop to Logos and its members who block our efforts!
This is gonna be trouble!
Captain!
Kira!
Durandal! Durandal! Durandal! Durandal!
Durandal! Durandal! Durandal!
Durandal! Durandal! Durandal! Durandal!
Destroy Logos.
The world goes crazy over this new dream.
Amidst this frenzy, a single order is given.
What reason is there for the two to face each other?
Eventually, an explosion results in a victor.
Next, on Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny, "Nightmare".
Sail through the seas of freedom, Archangel!
