Many leaders of Logos have been seen being escorted from...
...the surrendered Heavens Base.
What am I doing in a place like this? The Alliance and the PLANTs are now...
...working together to establish an international tribunal.
The captured leaders will...
I thought I learned in the last war...
...how utterly pointless fighting was.
That's why I lived in Orb.
I tried to end the war.
Then... then, why?
Why can't you realize...
...that for us Coordinators, the path of Patrick Zala...
...was the one and only correct path!
Maybe I was restless.
Maybe I couldn't stand the fact that I could do nothing about it.
But I was sure that there were things I could do.
How did it come to this?!
Why did you...
Was I being selfish about it?
I even got Meyrin involved.
And still, I wasn't able to make a difference.
Shinn!!
How come... I'm...
Mr. Kisaka brought you here.
Needless to say, I was surprised.
Cagalli wouldn't stop crying.
Perhaps what I wanted was a clear answer.
Why would someone like you side with Orb?
So you've gotta do something, too!
You have the ability. Why let it go to waste?
If I can be of help to the Chairman and everyone on behalf of Miss Lacus...
...who isn't here right now, that would make me happy!
But what you can do, and what you wish to do...
These are things that nobody knows better than you.
Is that why I believed the Chairman's words?
Because they gave me something to cling to?
You can do it.
So please use that extra strength when you feel necessary.
No. I wasn't clinging to them.
Yes, sir!
I heard truth in his words, and that's why I took up the sword again.
Athrun Zala. Savior, taking off!
And so I fought alongside the Minerva.
People opposing the Earth Forces had to face unspeakable torture!
Many people were even killed!
And who knows what would happen if we fail again this time!
That's why I want that battery to be destroyed no matter what!
There was no choice but to fight if I was to help end the war.
I thought that by doing so, the war would end sooner.
It appears that the Earth Forces reinforcement troops heading here...
...are from the Orb military.
It's difficult to even think about, but right now, that nation is one of them.
Will you be all right?
Yes.
You'd rather not fight, would you?
Against Orb.
Stop worrying about it.
We're in a war, and we're soldiers.
Otherwise, you'll die.
What the...
The Freedom!
Kira!
But Kira kept adding confusion to the battlefield.
Kira!
Kira! Damn!
Heine!!
Kira!
But then...
If you're telling us that you've returned to the ZAFT Forces...
...what do you plan on doing next?
Why were you looking for us?
Kira. I don't think...
Because I wanted to stop you from doing something like that again!
I understand about the Junius Seven incident...
...but no matter how you cut it, since then, the Earth Forces have created this fiasco!
Even so, the PLANTs are making every effort to put an end to this foolishness!
Do the PLANTs really feel that way?
And Chairman Durandal?
I couldn't understand Kira anymore.
I never thought our paths would collide like this.
Because we both wanted the same thing.
So why did Kira and I have to fight?!
Stop it, Kira!
Athrun!
You were supposed to go back to Orb!
Your interfering only brings chaos to the battlefield!
I understand.
I know what you're saying, but...
But at this moment Cagalli is crying!
She's crying right now, because she didn't want things to turn out like this!
Why can't you understand that?!
Kira...
If so, then I must defeat you!
And I'm really sick and tired of it all.
I don't want to fight. Don't make me fight.
And therefore, I take this opportunity to officially declare my intention...
...to put a stop to Logos and its members who block our efforts!
The Archangel...Kira...
We are ZAFT, and we abide by what the Chairman and Council say.
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.
The Chairman's words were always inspiring and they sounded right.
But after I realized the agenda behind his words...
...I couldn't believe anything he said anymore.
I am not the type who will become his toy and fight as he says.
Even if what he says sounds right!
I didn't run away.
I just wanted to know the truth.
All I wanted was something that I could believe in.
Damn it!
Don't betray us! Come back to our base!
Shinn.
Listen, Shinn!
What the Chairman and Rey say may sound correct and agreeable!
Athrun!
But their words will eventually kill the whole world!
You're at fault. It's your fault!
Because you betrayed us!!
Shinn!!
Kira to the bridge immediately!
We just received word from the Terminal that the Eternal is launching!
They've been found by ZAFT!
The Eternal?
You're kidding.
Discard camouflage!
Eternal, taking off!
Kira. Go!
Mr. Murdoch!
Everyone, take cover!
Protect Lacus! No matter what!
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!
Ever since that day...
Since the day we fought the Coordinator assassins who were after Lacus...
...I've been piloting a mobile suit.
And once again, I head for space...
...in order to protect Lacus and the Eternal.
Hang in there, Lacus.
I'm coming to save you!
What's that?!
The Strike?!
Kira!
How much longer must we hurt each other...
...and shed blood and tears, before this battle ends?
All that remains in the end is an incurable sadness...
...anger with no outlet...
...and infinite hatred.
After many battles...
...the sword called "The Freedom" that I was given was destroyed.
Athrun.
You told me that the PLANTs and Chairman Durandal...
...were fighting in an effort to put an end to...
...this foolish struggle as soon as possible.
You said that I, Miss Murrue, and the others...
...were only bringing confusion to the battlefield.
But is that really true?
When humans sense danger, they will fight in order to protect themselves.
It's instinct. And that's why they will fire.
And force us to fire back.
A peaceful world is not profitable. It cannot be controlled.
Therefore they will keep trying to force us to fight!
Let's put an end to this, once and for all!
We don't really want to kill each other!
I can understand what you're saying...
But I felt something the day Lacus was attacked.
I sensed a guiding will... a powerful force...
...lurking in the shadows of these battles.
Why did ZAFT attack the Archangel?
And why are they now trying to destroy the Eternal?
Athrun.
Do you know the answers to these questions?
I just can't bring myself to believe Chairman Durandal the way you do.
Because I just can't believe...
...that all this bloodshed is necessary...
...to create a world with no war.
Sorry.
Of course it will! The moment every last Natural is exterminated the war will end!
FLAY!!
There's no way left to stop it!
Earth will burn, and the ensuing tears and screams will trigger new battles!
This can't be!
A world won through battle will only lead to new battles.
Athrun.
Do you still remember what Lord Uzumi said?
The way things are progressing the world will be caught...
...between two forces that refuse to recognize the existence of the other.
Is that an acceptable future for you?
Father! Father!!
That's why you and Cagalli...
...have been trying so hard, so the tragedies of the past won't be repeated.
ATHRUN!!
Stop running away!
It's more of a battle to continue living!
However! Too much power will lead to another conflict!
No, Princess.
Power is necessary because there will always be conflict.
Talk to the Chairman.
If there is anything I...even I, can do to help...
To find a path where we can learn to understand each other through words...
... through discussion... and not through battle.
Thank you.
With this, I can fight properly.
In my own way.
Kira.
Wait here. I'll be right back.
And let's go back together. To everyone...
Yes.
X20 A Strike Freedom, please launch.
Kira Yamato. Freedom. Taking off!
It's true, fighting may be all that you and I are capable of.
And fighting will not give birth to anything.
But Lacus and Cagalli...
...and many others are desperately trying to forge a path to the future.
We just can't forgive those who try to crush their efforts.
And that's why I continue to fight.
Th-This is...
Hit them!!
No matter how beautiful the flowers are, people will wipe them out again anyway.
To welcome a time when, someday...
...all battles come to an end...
...and people laugh from their hearts and souls, standing hand in hand.
We are here for that day.
Isn't that right, Athrun?
Your appearance is similar to mine
It reverberates to my chest
To liberate the world from this endless chain of battles...
As though it's quietly crying
...and build a future of freedom.
He knows Kira, he knows Cagalli, and he knows Shinn.
But what about the person he should know best...himself?
The dream that continues to be shot down but not crushed...
...is resurrected, giving new strength.
Next, on Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny...
..."Freedom and Justice".
Become a gust of wind, DOM!
