I got revenge.
For you, too.
What are you doing?!
A-Athrun! Shinn!
I have no intention of trying something crazy...
...like sending the military out to get the people I've listed.
That is not what I mean, when I say we must defeat Logos.
I just hope that, this time, we can put an end to...
... this perpetual system of war that they've created.
Let's find a common ground, talk to each other...
..and finally escape from this world of fighting they have created!
Lord Djibril!
- He's the leader of Blue Cosmos! - Bring him out here!
This can't be happening! Damn it!
Damn that Gilbert Durandal!
You don't seem too thrilled about facing Logos.
No, I'm fine with it!
I was very moved by the Chairman's words.
He said it was gonna be difficult...
...but the Chairman follows through on his word. He doesn't give up.
So I will...
I'll fight any enemy!
There are many things I want to talk to you about...
...but first, I'd like you to take a look over there.
I can tell your eyes have been wandering in that direction.
They're your new machines.
Bokutachi wa mayoi nagara As we get lost on our way

'Cause I'm Never Gonna Stop Streak My Dream
Destiny is the most powerful mobile suit ever built...
Phase-36 - Athrun on the Run Destiny is the most powerful mobile suit ever built...
Phase-36 - Athrun on the Run
...surpassing the lmpulse in firepower, defenses, mobility, and reliability.
On the other hand, the Legend is an ambitious machine...
...equipped with the new generation DRAGOON system, which can now...
...be operated by anyone thanks to improvements in the quantum interface.
Our arsenals worked on these without rest until they were finished.
They're the pride of the Forces.
Well? How do you like them?
They're great! Fantastic!
Adjustments have been made to the Destiny with you in mind as the pilot.
What? Me... in mind?!
Using the lmpulse's combat data as a reference.
It seems that your operating habits... your speed in particular...
...have developed to the extent that they far surpass those of other pilots.
Huh?
I'm amazed. Especially lately, your abilities...
You're too kind, sir.
You must've been frustrated from time to time realizing that the lmpulse's body...
...had its limits, but you won't have that problem with this.
I guarantee it.
Yes! Thank you very much!
And your machine is the Legend.
Well Athrun? How does the DRAGOON system suit you?
I'm sure that you'll be able to operate this machine sufficiently.
Is something the matter, Athrun?
So these are to be used to fight against Logos, I take it?
Mr. Chairman, you said you would fight against Logos, in order to end all wars.
Yes.
I realize that fighting to end fighting is a conflict in itself...
...but it can't be helped, can it? Because they refuse to listen to what we say.
In which case, fighting becomes the only remaining option.
But why did we attack them?
Why did you give orders to destroy the Archangel and the Freedom?
Give it a rest!
Athrun...
I realize that ship brought uncertainty to an already confused war!
But their intentions were the same as ours!
They wanted to end this war! They didn't want it to continue!
They were the first ones to fight against the Destroy!
So why?! Why would you give those orders...
...without even giving them the chance to speak?!
Athrun!
Then let me ask you this. Why didn't they come to us?
If they had the same intentions as we do...
...there should've been nothing keeping them from coming to us.
I'm sure my voice was heard.
So why did they fight without attempting to come to us?
It's not as if they didn't have the chance.
I hear that Captain Gladys asked them to surrender before the battle!
That's because...
Even Lacus is offering to fight with us!
Mr. Chairman!
A-Athrun!
I can understand your resentment.
Why did this happen? Why isn't the world moving in the direction we'd hoped?
It's certainly very frustrating.
But in simple terms, that's the way the world is right now.
As the world is now, none of us really knows who we are.
We're unaware of our strengths, or our role in all this.
We live our lives at the mercy of the times.
Mr. Chairman!
The Archangel... In particular, your friend, Kira Yamato...
Well... I believe he was quite unfortunate, and I do feel sorry for him.
Unfortunate?!
He had a gift, and he had power. He was your so-called "warrior".
His skills were such that, in a mobile suit duel, no one could beat him.
But no one, not even he, realized it. No one was aware...
...so he couldn't be brought up to develop his skills. He couldn't live that way.
He became a prime example of someone who lived his life at the mercy of the times.
Who knows how much he could've accomplished...
...if he had used his great powers properly.
After leaving Lacus, I don't know what he was thinking.
First he kidnapped Orb's Chief Representative...
...and then whenever a battle broke out, he'd suddenly appear...
...shooting enemies as he pleased.
What is the meaning of such strange behavior?
But Kira...
It was none other than Orb's kidnapped princess who once said that...
...too much power would lead to conflict!
As ZAFT Forces Commander in Chief...
...I couldn't afford to let that tremendous, unpredictable power just roam about.
That's why I gave the order to defeat him. It couldn't be helped, could it?
He was very unfortunate.
If only he had realized earlier who he was...
...he would've understood his strengths and his role...
...and lived where he could've fully utilized his skills.
He wouldn't have had to worry and suffer.
His strengths would've been recognized, and he would've lived a happy life.
Happy life?
Oh, um... a happy life, sir?
That's right.
How much happier can one be than to understand oneself...
...be useful doing what one is capable of, and live to the fullest of one's potential?
Ah, yes, sir.
When this war ends, that's the world I would like to create.
If the world becomes a place where everybody can live happily...
...there will never be another war, ever.
Sounds like a dream, doesn't it?
But I will see to it that it becomes reality.
So, for the sake of such a future, I want you guys to give it every effort.
Yes, sir!
Ammo unit Division R, move to paddock number three.
Supply teams: Robespierre crew and the Yano crew...
...are to report to depot number three on the double.
Thermal signature registration of all machines...
...is being conducted on aprons eight through fourteen.
The IFF setup is being done in Hanger C.
Message from port control.
The approaching Earth Forces vessels, object 729...
...are allies joining us from the Republic of East Asia.
Status Blue. Cancel Alert Status. I repeat...
But this is incredible.
Who would've thought so many from the Alliance would gather here?
Right. But you know... it's making me nervous.
Right. We've pretty well been programmed to think they are enemies.
Exactly.
Really. If they all betrayed us at once, Gibraltar would be finished.
Huh? Yes?
Think before you talk, Arthur!
Heavens Base, Supreme Headquarters Earth Alliance Forces Everyone's on edge as it is, with this upcoming mission!
l-I'm sorry!
But even if we succeed in destroying Heavens Base...
...and wipe out the Logos who've fled there...
...the real challenge is what happens after that.
Can we really crush Logos this way?
Rey Za Burrel of the Minerva, reporting as requested.
Rey. How have you been?
Are you feeling all right, physically?
Yes, sir.
I hear you had a traumatic experience at the Lodonia Laboratory.
That was careless of me.
No.
It wasn't your fault, Gil. I'm all right.
It was a surprise to me as well. I had no idea that I would react that way.
Can I get you something to drink?
There are a number of things I want to talk to you about in detail.
Yes. Thank you very much.
Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny
Are you sure about that?
Do the PLANTs really feel that way?
And Chairman Durandal?
Then what's up with that Lacus Clyne?
What is it with that Lacus in the PLANTs?
I wish from the bottom of my heart...
...for a world where war will never again take place.
But we don't want you fighting against Orb, even with the way things are now.
Then let me ask you. Why didn't they come to us?
I don't want to fight. Don't make me fight.
Kira...
Athrun! Athrun!
I knew I'd find you here! You're handling this all wrong!
For one thing, you didn't give the Chairman...
...a proper answer at the hangar earlier, and...
...if you keep this up, they're gonna become suspicious of you!
That kid Shinn has been hanging around the new model he was shown...
...for quite a while now! You'd better go, too!
Suspicious? About what?!
They're saying, you won't do!
Look at this!
The Chairman was talking with that guy, Rey...
And...
I see. So Athrun won't do.
It seems that his feelings for the Archangel and the Freedom...
...are a lot stronger than you thought.
He is also only a soldier, but he has a tendency to dwell on the unnecessary.
And that's killing his otherwise great powers.
Perhaps it's Kira Yamato's fault.
Apparently their encounter has also made Athrun an unfortunate person.
That may be true.
But he is no longer alive. Therefore...
No! He is alive.
Unless Athrun kills Kira himself, he'll stay alive in his heart.
That is going to be a problem.
I can charge him with a crime. Can I leave the rest to you?
Yes, sir.
See? So things aren't good! You're in trouble!
You have to hurry and show them they're wrong. Otherwise the Chairman will...
Special Forces member Athrun Zala of the Minerva.
This is security. We'd like to ask you some questions.
The Chairman is a smart man.
He knows me very well!
Athrun Zala! Please open up!
I am not the type who will become his toy and fight as he says.
Even if what he says sounds right!
Damn. Up to mischief, are we?
Find him!
Hurry!
Athrun.
Athrun! Why?!
The Chairman is only interested in people who will play the roles...
...that he assigns them!
A "Lacus" who he can use to his benefit, and me, as a mobile suit pilot!
He won't need you to do what you're doing forever, either!
When the time comes, you will be killed as well! So come with me!
I-I... I'm Lacus!
Meer!
No!!
It's Lacus! I'm Lacus!
I'd rather be Lacus!
But...
I don't care if it's only a role! As long as...
As long as I do it right!
What's wrong with living that way?!
So... you too, Athrun.
Okay? It'll be all right.
Meer!
You've secured the exits, have you?
Then start checking all the rooms in the vicinity.
Right.
We'd prefer to restrain him, but if we can't, we'll have to shoot to kill.
What in the world's going on?
Athrun!
Sorry. I just wanna get outside. Please, keep quiet.
Are you being chased? But why?
Why not let Rey or someone tell you later?
What?!
Security. We'd like to search your room.
Open the door!
As soon as I jump out, scream. Tell them that you were threatened with a gun.
This way!
Hey! Is there anyone there?!
Ah, one moment!
You fool! It won't work!
It's all right!
Hey, Meyrin! What are you thinking, wearing just a towel?!
Oh! Hi, Sis. I was taking a shower, but they wouldn't stop banging on the door.
You get right back inside and put some clothes on! You look ridiculous! Besides...
What's all this commotion about in the first place?!
Ah, well...
Thank you. But why?
I don't know.
Well you saved me. I owe you one.
Th-The hangar.
Give me a minute.
I'll hack into the Base's mainframe, and set off an alarm somewhere.
Damn! The harbor?!
How'd he get there?!
I'll bring a car around! When you see it, come out!
R-Right!
What is it?! What's going on?!
Talia.
Yes?
I don't have the details yet, but Athrun...
...suddenly shot one of our guards, and is trying to escape.
What?!
I doubt he's headed for the Minerva, but I'm telling you just in case.
Depending on how things progress, I may need to borrow Rey and Shinn.
Trying to escape? But why?!
I told you, I don't know yet! I'll be in touch later!
What was that alarm about?
We're not too sure, but a spy seems to be on the loose!
What?!
With parts of the Alliance joining us, the whole situation is a mess, after all!
Gimme a break.
Everyone who's after you has gone to the harbor. Now's your chance.
Please go!
You sure about this?
You'd be wise to leave, if the alternative is to be killed.
So I see you've decided to run away, again.
Rey!
I won't forgive you! You've chosen to betray Gil!
Stop it, Rey! Not Meyrin!
Sorry. But if I leave you behind, you'll...
Shinn! Get the Destiny and the Legend ready for take off!
Huh? Why?
A fugitive has run off with one of our mobile suits! We're going after it!
What?!
B-But what'll we do?
We'll look for the Archangel.
But that ship has been...
It hasn't been destroyed! I'm sure Kira's still alive as well!
Mr. Chairman.
Yes, I know. I'm counting on you, Rey.
Rey!
You ready?
Yeah! But why'd we become the target of a spy?
Don't let your guard down.
The guy we're after is Athrun Zala.
Athrun? You're kidding!
But why?!
Imademo kizukanai deshou You still probably don't notice
Kono shizuka na sora ni This quiet sky
Itsudemo omoidasukedo I'll remember it always
Mou dokonimo modorenai But can't return anymore
Soshite zutto kokoro de I still feel calm
Samete sotto kizuite And slowly realize
Itsuka kitto yasashisa miete kuru youni Someday, we'll start to see the kindness
What's stopping me? I get stuck again
Is it really OK? It's never OK for me
What's got into me? I get lost again
Is it really OK? It's never going to be
Preview
We're chasing Athrun. It's an incomprehensible truth.
Then what about what we've seen so far?
What about what we thought we knew so far?
Clashing words vanish into the nightmarish seas...
...as time pressures Shinn to make a decision.
