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!
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?!
A55 warning in effect. Four-two, triple-six, standby.
Athrun?
Why'd he do it, Rey?!
I don't know the reason.
Only that it's a fact that security is after him. He shot one of them, and he escaped.
Let's go! Before he really gets away!

'Cause I'm Never Gonna Stop Streak My Dream
Phase-37 - Thunder In the Dark
- What? A siren? - What's going on?
Phase-37 - Thunder In the Dark
- A spy? - Someone from Logos, perhaps.
From among the troops that have gathered here?
Think we should return to the ship? Hey, what do you think?
Uh, yeah...
They took off in one of our GOUFs?!
Are we going after it?!
Yes sir. The Elgar Team is on it.
I've already given orders to Shinn and Rey.
Right now, I want you to focus on not letting this get out of hand.
If any strange rumors get out, they could influence the national forces joining us.
It's the last thing we want to happen right now.
Ah, yes, sir.
Commander!
We've determined which terminal hacked into our mainframe.
Captain!
It's the one in the room of Meyrin Hawke, a crewmember aboard the Minerva.
The Minerva? And where is she now?
Well... She's...
Rey.
Yes, sir.
While you were chasing Athrun, did you happen to see Meyrin Hawke?
Meyrin Hawke is with Athrun. Right now.
She's with Athrun? So he's taken her hostage?
No. I don't believe so.
He was protecting Meyrin. He shot my weapon out of my hands.
And as he headed to the GOUF's cockpit, he reached out his hand to her.
She took his hand without hesitation.
What?!
There should be video footage of this.
Meyrin?!
So you're saying that she was not taken hostage?
That's right. She left of her own free will.
Athrun... That bastard!
She is an intelligence expert.
I don't know how it came to this, but if we let them get away...
...classified information could be compromised.
Meyrin too?! But why?!
I believe we must stop them from getting away at all costs.
Please authorize us to shoot them down.
Rey!
Wait a minute!
Is that so? I understand. I trust your judgment.
I authorize you to shoot them down.
Chairman!
Thank you, sir.
Rey!
You heard him, Shinn. That's what we'll do.
But... that's nuts.
I'll come in from the right. You get in front of him.
Rey!
Think about what would happen if the wishes of the Chairman...
...and the people who support him, went to waste because of this!
There's no way we can forgive the betrayal of anyone, not now!
You have to make a decision, Shinn!
We must prevent such a thing from happening!
Damn it! Is that Rey?!
Shinn!
How did it come to this?!
Why did you...
Shinn! Stop it! You're being used!
That's not gonna work! That's indecent of you, Athrun!
Rey!
Don't run away! Surrender!
Don't betray us! Come back to our base!
Shinn.
Stop it! I have no intention of getting killed here!
Listen, Shinn!
What the Chairman and Rey say may sound correct and agreeable!
Athrun!
But their words will eventually kill the whole world!
I'm just trying to...
Shinn! Don't listen to him!
Athrun has already gone a bit mad!
You bastard!
Don't let him confuse you, Shinn!
Shinn! If you must shoot me down...
...at least give Meyrin the chance to get out! She hasn't...
She is already an accomplice to your crimes.
There is no point to her existence.
- Rey! - Rey?
He's an enemy! They're the enemy!
They betrayed the Chairman, betrayed us...
...and they're attempting to trample all over our dreams.
Are you going to forgive them?!
You said it yourself... you'd fight any enemy to fulfill that dream!
Shinn!
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!
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.
So, for the sake of such a future, I want you guys to give it every effort.
Damn it!!
Shinn!
Why this? The war will once again...
Hi! Mayu here! I'm sorry. I can't talk to you right now!
Shinn.
Those trying to prevent this...
...are the true enemies of this world.
You're at fault. It's your fault!
Because you betrayed us!!
Shinn!!
I...
I won't let it happen again!
Shinn!!
Shinn.
Well done.
Our mission is over.
Mis... sion...
Yeah.
Ath... run... Meyrin...
They were traitors. We destroyed our enemy.
You did what you were supposed to do.
Now, let's go back.
Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny
Reporting!
The GOUF has been destroyed!
The Destiny and the Legend are returning!
Is that so... Thank you.
Kleiber. Write up a brief statement of what happened.
The Alliance is beginning to ask us questions.
Yes, sir.
Given the events leading up to this situation...
...send out an order that no one is to go near that area.
We will be sending our own research team.
Right away, sir.
And as I recall, Meyrin Hawke had an older sister. Have her come here.
We must explain to her what led up to this.
There are also things we need to ask her. Can I have you take care of that?
Yes, sir.
We will also have to search their rooms aboard the Minerva, Captain Gladys.
Yes, go ahead. But before that, I think you owe me an explanation!
Don't stare at me like that. I plan to do so, Talia.
I need to talk to you about this, anyway.
I brought Athrun back to the Forces, and even made him a FAITH member.
Yet, this is the result. I'm also terribly shocked by this.
Mr. Chairman.
I'm aware that I've caused you trouble. I apologize.
I promise I'll make time for you later, so please calm down.
Shinn. What's wrong?
Nothing.
Meyrin did?
Why would she? That can't be possible!
She would never do such a thing. Neither would Athrun!
There's gotta be some misunderstanding!
It's not possible for something so crazy to be true!
Good morning.
Morning.
Sorry about last night.
To have you suddenly take on such a burdensome task.
No problem.
But you did a great job. Thank you.
Shinn's the one who shot them down.
Is that so?
Are you all right?
Yes, I'm all right.
But...
Why would Athrun and Meyrin do such a thing?
We haven't found the cockpit yet, and we've yet to uncover any details.
Except that, there is proof that someone hacked into the Ragnarok files.
Ragnarok, sir?
It's the codename for the assault on Heavens Base.
An overstated operation name, perhaps.
But it included data on the Destiny and the Legend.
The data was well protected, but for someone familiar with such information...
Like Meyrin.
He also tried to take Lacus with him.
But Lacus refused, and that's how we found out about the situation.
Why was he trying to escape? And where was he trying to go?
He did seem to be awfully upset about me ordering the Archangel...
...and the Freedom to be destroyed. But they're no longer...
Perhaps he panicked, having lost the support he had to fall back on.
I can't understand it. That makes where he was trying to run more puzzling.
Only one group comes to mind that would want the Ragnarok data.
Logos!
At the beginning of this war, he told me...
...that he wanted me to avoid it no matter what.
I trusted him and reinstated him in the Forces.
So why would he have a problem with me...
...trying to end the war by getting rid of Logos?
Mr. Chairman...
I share your feelings, sir, but I must say there is no point in worrying about it now.
We're here for you, Mr. Chairman.
Rey.
As difficult as it may be, you have chosen to take the ultimate path.
We all support that.
Rey.
We await your next orders.
Thank you.
ZAFT Military Station
Hayes Team. Original operation schedule is confirmed.
All personnel involved in the work are to begin preparations.
A briefing will be held for Descent Team, A Group at 1500 hours. All team leaders...
So these are...
The Destiny and the Legend.
Shinn and Rey will be piloting these now.
But Meyrin...
Cut it out.
Don't ever say another word about that again.
Good to see you back, Captain.
How are things aboard the ship?
Everyone's listened to the announcement from Headquarters, I take it.
Yes. Everyone's, well, shocked and shaken.
Naturally.
Captain?
Sorry, but can you stay on for a bit longer?
I can't bring myself to sit in the Captain's seat yet.
Y-Yes, ma'am!
I promise I won't be long.
Yes, ma'am!
Sorry.
The Furnas and the St. Augustine, sailing.
Villarica from pier four and the Irazu from pier nine will be leaving in ten minutes.
Fifteenth Mobile Fleet, Route C, clear.
Mr. Chairman.
Yeah. I know.
We've got to do it. That's why we're all gathered here.
Ajima Team, send out all machines. Cideo Team, standby for take off.
Course clear. Flagship BB01, you may set sail.
Flagship BB01, a message from the Minerva.
"All forces, follow our lead."
First, I want you to send a message.
We demand that they turn over Lord Djibril...
...and others we listed as members of Logos, currently hiding in their base.
Yes, sir.
What better way is there than to talk things over with them... if that's possible, right?
Docking clearance three, one, one.
Mooring crew, standby. Radiation control team, wait at Paddock A.
Okay, have them get on with repairs and replenishments at once! Hurry!
A message has been sent from Gibraltar to Heavens Base!
We, ZAFT and the Earth Alliance Forces...
...demand the following from Heavens Base.
Earth Alliance Forces Supreme Headquarters Heavens Base One: All members of Logos, previously identified...
Earth Alliance Forces Supreme Headquarters Heavens Base ...are to be turned over to us immediately.
Two: All forces are to immediately disarm and abandon the base.
What the...
Miss Murrue. I'd like to talk to Lacus.
Can you get in touch with her?
Seriously, we must hurry.
Otherwise, it'll be too late.
But they've already...
If Heavens Base falls to them, next it will likely be Orb.
What?
If that happens, there will be nobody left to stop him!
We will eliminate war.
This time, for sure!

Kono shizuka na sora ni This quiet sky

Mou dokonimo modorenai But can't return anymore
Soshite zutto kokoro de I still feel calm

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
I've seen it. I've heard it.
That's why I know. But what?
As the echoes of the words spoken vary widely...
...is all that appears before me the figure of my own enemy?
What world is visible beyond these war disasters?
