Lacus.
Yes?
You said before that if Heavens Base were to fall, Orb would be next.
Yes.
They took it already?
Faster than expected.
But why is Orb next?
Durandal's been saying that he's going to destroy Logos.
Because Orb is a powerful nation, in both strength and ideals.
But in the grand scheme of what...
...Chairman Durandal is trying to accomplish...
...it is nothing but an obstacle.
What is he trying to do?
I can't say that I'm absolutely certain. . .
...but I'm beginning to see it, little by little.
l believe that the Chairman is trying to create a new world order...
...one that brings all of Earth and the Plants together.
What?
Perhaps this current upheaval is...
...merely meant to lay the foundations for that undertaking.
Goze Team, go around to the east side.
Where's the medical team ! Hygienic officer!
We've finished checking for traps inside the building. Safety confirmed.
Okay, we'll begin moving the injured.
Continue to exercise caution!
What?!
Djibril's nowhere to be found?!
He's not there?! No way!
He seems to have secretly escaped, moments before the base surrendered.
He deserted all of the other Logos members.
That man is such a troublemaker.
What does he expect to do that he hasn't done already?
I don't know, sir.
Anyways, our top priority is to catch him.
Panama or Victoria...
I just hope he hasn't ran off to one of those troublesome spots.
So this isn't going to end easily after all.
That's not true!
Next time I find him, I'll crush him myself!
l want you to concentrate on this one first.
Understood.
I'll make sure we keep on top of it.
I really appreciate it. Thanks.
Miss Murrue.
Oh, hi.
How are the repairs coming along?
We took a real beating, so it's going to take a lot of time.
But everyone's putting all their effort into it.
Is that so. . .
What's wrong?
Are you tired? Or maybe you're feeling restless.
Ah, no...
I'm all right.
It's okay. It's the same for all of us.
Especially after the news about Heavens Base.
I may be feeling scared. A little bit.
After seeing what happened to Athrun.
There are so many unanswered questions...
...but right now, I'm powerless.
The way things are, I won't be able to protect anything!
Lacus will be back soon.
I'm sure things will change then.
Okay? So hang in there for now.
Right.
Many leaders of Logos have been seen being escorted from...
...the surrendered Heavens Base.
The Alliance and the PLANTs are now working together...
...to establish an international tribunal.
You're awake.
The captured leaders will...
Are you feeling all right?
Yeah.
Although I feel like dying.
Unfortunately, I seem to be fine.
Stop talking that way.
You're not making anyone happy.
Sorry.
How's Meyrin?
She's fighting a fever at the moment, but otherwise she's doing fine.
Miriallia said she had a talk with her.
l see.
She was that girl aboard the Minerva, right? The controller?
Yeah.
She saved my life.
She told me l should leave, if the alternative was to be killed.
I've hardly ever spoken to her.
But I relied on her and got her involved.
She's really fond of you, I bet.
Don't worry.
You don't need to worry about her.
I'll personally see to it that she's taken care of properly.
And... um...
Will you... forgive me?
That's what I should be asking you.
I should be apologizing.
What Kira told me when we met at Crete...
But l... l tried to get married.
Without even telling you...
You wanted to protect Orb, right?
I must've become impatient.
I couldn't stand it.
I couldn't stand not being able to do anything.
You, on the other hand, had to take drastic measures...
...to deal with the huge responsibility of running a nation.
Not only could I not do anything...
That incident with Junius Seven...
l wanted to do something.
What l wanted to do was to stop everything.
Stop the war from happening.
Athrun.
l know that.
But, it's difficult.
Cagalli.
Everyone wants to stop it, and everyone says so.
So why won't it happen?
Is it all Logos' fault?
Is there really nothing we can do about it?
No. I don't believe so.
No way.
Boy, what a tiresome trip.
There was no air in the colony, and it was really run-down.
But for some reason, the genetic research lab was cleaned out...
...including all the data and everything.
This is all we found.
But look here.
It was likely written by one of his fellow researchers at the time.
"At first glance, this 'Destiny Plan' that Durandal talks about..."
"...looks to be very beneficial for the times we live in."
"However, we mustn't forget, people do not live for this world."
"The world is a place for people to live."
Could this be...
Destiny Plan?
What is it?!
A reconnaissance GlNN.
You were followed, Dacosta!
What?!
I'll sortie right away! Get my Gaia ready!
Wait!
Please wait!
It's too late.
lf it got here by following us, then its mother ship can't be too far away!
They must have been keeping the Mendel colony under observation.
That was careless of me!
No, I wouldn't say...
Yeah, this guy's the careless one!
But what will we do now?
The machines here at the Factory are still undergoing final adjustments.
If they attack us now, we'll be at a great disadvantage.
Let's get out of here, Commander Waltfeld.
Right away.
- What? - No way!
They'll be sure to see us!
It's the same either way.
In which case...
...we should put ourselves in the best position possible before they attack.
But right now, this ship isn't equipped to take on even a single Nazca-class ship.
We've got no chance of winning.
I'm not trying to win.
I'm trying to protect!
Protect the people here at the Factory who've helped us...
...and these notes.
lf we leave now, ZAFT will come after us.
Then the Factory will have time to come up with a plan.
ln the worst case, we'll send...
...the two machines and the documents down to the Archangel.
Okay! Gotcha!
Eternal! Prepare for take off! Contact the Terminal!
I'll talk to the Factory myself! Get online!
After the Eternal takes off, the Factory will switch to silent mode.
No problem. No problem.
Power flow stable. FCS online.
Thrust increasing. Launch level achieved!
Discard camouflage!
Eternal, taking off!
Kira to the bridge immediately!
We just received word from the Terminal that the Eternal is launching!
They've been found by ZAFT!
Lacus!
The Eternal?
You're kidding.
They're fast!
But, the Eternal?
How much longer do they plan on playing these games?!
Who would've thought we'd come across a ship...
...that went missing in the commotion following the war?
What are the positions of the Caernarvon and the Holst?
Sir. Currently Green 22, Charlie, lndigo 8 Alpha.
Okay, we'll track them down.
We won't let you terrorists get away, now that we've finally found you!
Green and lndigo: Two more Nazca-class vessels!
ZAKUs and GOUFs approaching!
Damn it! Shake them off!
Descend fifteen degrees!
I don't know the size of the force after them...
...but they say that if they can't get away, they'll shoot a pod down in our direction.
- What?! - A pod?!
Hey! What do you think you're doing?
"lf they can't get away"? Lacus!
Hey!
This guy beside me won't keep still, and he won't shut up.
He says, "Go, Kira."
Athrun?
Protect Lacus! No matter what!
Kira.
He says, "Everything will be over if we lose her."
Cagalli! Lend me your Rouge! And the booster!
- Kira! - Kira!
Thank you, Athrun !
You still remember the communication code for the bridge, I see.
Everyone! Assist Kira!
Thank you... very much.
Commander La Flaga.
Why is it that even you have to call me that?
I'm Neo Roanoke, and it's Captain!
What?!
Missiles approaching!
Intercept! Starboard ten! Descend twenty!
Don't let the mobile suits lock onto us!
Anti-air, open fire!
What'll we do about the voltage and the other specs?!
Set them the same way you'd set up the Strike!
Gotcha!
Mr. Murdoch!
Everyone, take cover!
Damn! This won't do!
l'm going out!
Commander!
I'll chase away these pests! We've gotta get some distance!
Listen, Dacosta! Don't let them hit the engines!
Right!
You've factored in the orbital data, right? The Eternal will be descending!
Yes! I've got it!
Course clear. Systems all green. Strike Booster, please take off!
Launching!
The Gaia?!
They've got one of those?! What kind of organization is this?!
How much further until we're able to launch the pod?
I'd say twenty, no, twenty-five!
Please hang in there until we reach that point!
Yes, ma'am!
Damn it!
Lacus!
Please, let me make it in time!
What's that?!
The Strike?!
Kira!
Lacus! Mr. Waltfeld!
Kira!
It's you!
I'm sorry! But I was so worried!
You fool!
If that's the case, hurry onto the Eternal!
Go and get your machine!
R-Right!
Preparing emergency retrieval system!
Kira!
Lacus!
Kira!
Lacus!
Thank goodness.
Kira.
Being here with you like this... I couldn't be happier than I am now.
I feel the same way, Kira.
Where is it?
This way.
Commander!
Lacus!
We've gotta hurry.
Yes.
Thank you.
With this, l can fight properly.
In my own way.
Kira.
Wait here.
l'll be right back.
And let's go back together. To everyone...
Yes.
CPG settings complete. Neural linkage, ion density normal.
Update meta motor cortex parameters. Nuclear reactor critical.
Power flow stable. All systems green.
Strike Freedom, system activated!
Course clear. X20 A Strike Freedom, please launch.
Kira Yamato. Freedom. Taking off!
What's that machine?!
A new model?! lt's fast!
The Freedom!
Th-This is...
Two minutes.
A total of 25 ZAKUs and GOUFs have all been defeated in only two minutes?!
Enemy mobile suit approaching!
All guns, open fire! Shoot it down!
Hit them!
Thrusters destroyed! We can't control the ship!
Holst! Caernarvon! They've both lost navigational control!
That can't be possible!
Your appearance is similar to mine
Eternal, I'm returning.
Yes, sir.
It reverberates to my chest
As though it's quietly crying
It is Djibril who must be destroyed.
We believe he's a monster who's larger than life.
There's no mistake about it.
But am I shivering because I'm weak? Or is it because I'm cold?
What does the boiling blood of the unyielding Orb desire?
As Cagalli finally confronts the situation, what are Shinn's thoughts?
Next, on Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny...
..."Legacy of Gold".
Shine with the light of hope, Akatsuki!
