They've broken through Aramatsubara's secondary defense line!
Okay, it's good to go, Neumann! Start it up!
Roger!
Athrun!
H-Hey...
I'm all right now.
I'm well enough to sit in the CIC!
What's this? Why are you doing this?
You're fully healed, right?
If you stay here, you'll get hurt again.
The Skygrasper...
It's a fighter plane, but go ahead and use it. You're free to go.
I am Cagalli Yula Athha, daughter of Uzumi Nara Athha.
Defense Headquarters, can you hear me?!
Cagalli! Cagalli!
You are not Mu. You're not Mu, right?!
Meyrin.
You get off here and stay at the dock.
Once we take off, the Archangel will be fighting against ZAFT.
I wouldn't feel right having you on board.
Athrun.
Anything on Djibril?
It seems they haven't found him yet.
They seem to be putting up quite a fight.
Shinn.
I'm really sorry. And thank you.
But you'll be okay as long as you stay at the dock. Okay...?
But...
But I...
I'll be fine! I'll be all right!
Please don't leave me behind!
Meyrin.
All right.
There's no need for all of us to sortie. I'll go out alone.
No! I'll go.
But Shinn...
If anyone's gonna destroy Orb...
...it's gonna be me!
Open main gate.
Release restraining arms.
Engines at twenty percent. Proceed slowly.
What's that?!
Lady Cagalli! Please be careful! ZAFT reinforcements!
Why... that's!
Course two-zero. Archangel, proceed at full speed!
Thank you for coming all this way, Captain Gladys.
No problem.
What about our target? Have we been able to catch him yet?
No.
At first, they were completely falling apart, but they've somewhat recovered.
I guess they don't plan on going down without a fight.
The Minerva will take position on our left flank and support the Clete Team.
Roger that.
Port ten. Reduce engine output. Prepare for water landing.
We're not on the front lines, but don't let your guard down!
Watch for attacks from the air!
Yes, ma'am!
If we let this guy through, Orb will...
What is this thing?!
It deflected the beam!
In that case!
Lady Cagalli!
Those things are no match!
So you're the leader here, I see!
Though you hardly have the skill to back it up!
We have a visual of Onogoro Island!
Checking enemy thermal patterns.
Two Vosgulov-class, four Behrenberg-class...
...eight Izalco-class, and... the Minerva!
The Minerva?!
I thought it was in Gibraltar!
They've chased Djibril all the way here?!
The Archangel...
So it didn't sink, after all.
The Akatsuki is in a battle with an enemy mobile suit at two o'clock.
The Destiny!
Shinn!
Cagalli!
An object is approaching from space!
A mobile suit... No, it's too fast!
What is it?!
What?!
The Freedom?! But it can't be!
How?!
Kira?
Is it you, Kira?!
Miss Murrue! Please take in Lacus!
I'll take care of things here.
Cagalli, get to Defense Headquarters.
Gotcha!
Damn it!
Our ship will go out to the front. Is that all right with you?
S-Sure.
Raise the ship at once. Starboard ten.
We're going to attack the Archangel!
Yes, ma'am!
The Minerva's coming! Ready?!
Yes ma'am!
Launchers one and ten, load Dispars!
Aim Tristans and lsolde at the Archangel!
Load all aft missile launchers with Wombats!
Aim Gottfrieds and Valiants at the Minerva!
Fire!!
- Cagalli! - Lady Cagalli!
I'm going to Defense Headquarters! Back me up!
What's that?
ZAFT descent forces?
Earth's gravity is so unpleasant.
Cut the small talk! Let's get going guys!
Right!
For Miss Lacus!
What's that?
Miss Murrue, and Cagalli too...
The mobile suits that arrived in the descent pod are not enemies.
We'll begin with those. Let's go!
- Yeah!
- Ready when you are! - Yeah!
Jet-Stream attack!
They are offering us a helping hand, so please regard them as allies.
I understand.
Lacus!
Athrun.
Miss Lacus?
I never expected you to be in there. Are you alright?
Yes.
I was merely sitting in it.
Athrun, are you all right?
I'm fine.
I don't mean physically.
Tristans! Fire!!
Evade!
Wombats! Fire!!
Damn it! Why in the world...
If that had been a beam...
...this battle would be over!
Is that what you're trying to tell me?!
Launcher one! Launcher two! Fire!
Target their engines!
Evade at will, Malik!
Yes, ma'am!
Captain. We need to bring Shinn back in.
What?!
The situation has changed. It's not good.
Then you or Lunamaria should go out to replace him.
Of course, we will sortie. But please bring Shinn back in first.
His machine needs maintenance and resupply.
If we're going to have any chance at winning this battle...
...we must destroy that machine.
Very well. I'll leave it to you.
But hurry.
Roger.
Abby, what's the situation at the frontline?
Haven't they secured the target yet?
We've received nothing to indicate that yet!
Bastard! Why won't you go down?!
Fall!
Shinn. Return.
Why?! I still...
That's an order.
If you want to beat this guy, then return to the ship for now.
Got that?!
- Yuna! - Lady Cagalli!
- Cagalli!
This is awful! It's too much! Cagalli...
I did everything I could while you were gone...
The Justice...
Yes.
For me?
Possibly.
That's for you to decide.
Cagalli...
I don't believe you are the only one at fault!
I was aware of the opinions expressed by you, Unato...
...and the other leaders of this nation.
Yet I was unable to handle my own responsibilities. I'm just as much at fault!
C-Cagalli. Wh-What are you saying?
But what's this?!
Although our opinions may differ, I truly believed...
...that our desire to protect the nation was the same!
Well, but, let me explain...
Tell me! Where's Djibril!
After all this, do you still insist on protecting him?!
L-Like I told you before! I don't know where he is!
Yuna!
I really, really don't know!
Sure, he was at our place earlier, but right now...
Forget it! Take him away!
But wait! Cagalli!
The Kaguya is secure, right?!
Let me stay here with you.
Yes, ma'am!
In any case, we must catch Djibril as soon as possible.
Don't give up!
If we can push them back, it may open the path to a ceasefire!
Right now, focus on that!
Are you trying to tell me that I am nothing but a soldier?
Don't let the fighting spread!
No matter what, hold them back!
That too is something for you to decide.
It's scary when someone closes their mind.
"This is it... That's all there is."
They only see an end.
This may be cruel for you at this particular time, having been hurt...
But Kira...
Take me there in this?
It would be a great deception. And we'd be killing two birds with one stone.
But I'm not sure Athrun...
On one hand that's true...
But on the other hand, being unable to do anything when you want to help...
...could be the hardest thing to endure.
Kira.
Power is nothing more than power.
And perhaps you are a soldier, but over and above that...
...you're Athrun.
That's all there is to it.
Twenty to port! Get around it!
Parsifals! Fire!!
Eight missiles incoming at eleven o'clock!
Evade!
The Skygrasper?!
Sorry to get in your way like that.
Y-You...
But I have a thing against that ship, the Minerva.
Don't worry. You guys can win.
Because I have a knack for making the impossible, possible.
Mu...
Section two here! There's no sign of him!
Section six here! Haven't found anything!
Section three. Nothing out of the ordinary.
Destiny resupply complete. Ready for launch!
Shinn!
Lunamaria! You stay here!
What?!
Damn that bastard. This time for sure.
It's an order.
If you distract him, Shinn will lose the battle.
But...
In his state, you'll only get in his way!
Stay calm, Shinn.
If you let yourself be provoked and lose sight of yourself...
...you'll lose a battle you should easily win.
Destiny. Legend. Initiating launch sequences.
If that happens, you'll only be playing into his hands.
I know that.
Then we're cool. It's a phantom.
We'll be sure to sink it this time.
Yeah.
Shinn Asuka! Destiny! Taking off!
Rey Za Burrel.
Legend. Taking off!
Why, that's...
But what should we really be fighting against?
But what you can do, and what you wish to do...
These are things that nobody knows better than you.
Possibly.
That's for you to decide.
Your appearance is similar to mine
It reverberates to my chest
I...
As though it's quietly crying
Athrun Zala! Justice, taking off!
We cannot give up.
Because that would mean the end of everything.
The strength of those gathering their thoughts is the same.
Amidst the confusion, who is the one person who stands tall...
...with the knowledge of the boundary between dream and nightmare?
Next, on Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny...
...''A Call for Counterattack''.
Fly to the skies of truth, Justice!
