The Justice...
Yes.
Are you trying to tell me that I am nothing but a soldier?
That too is something for you to decide.
Power is nothing more than power.
And perhaps you are a soldier, but over and above that...
...you're Athrun.
Twenty to port! Get around it!
Parsifals! Fire!!
Eight missiles incoming at eleven o'clock!
Evade!
The Skygrasper?!
Destiny resupply complete. Ready for launch!
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.
I...
Mr. Athrun?
Hey!
Captain! That kid from ZAFT has boarded a mobile suit!
What?! In his condition?!
That's crazy! Tell him to stop!
Captain!
Please allow him to do what he wants.
Athrun Zala! Justice, taking off!
Come on! Step back, guys! We're pushing you out!
In that case, stop shooting at their legs!
Hayamatsumi has been destroyed. Toyamatsumi is immobile.
Sixth Mobile Corps to the Izanagi Coast. I repeat.
Section nine. No sign of Djibril.
Sixth Mobile Corps to the...
Section ten. Nothing out of the ordinary!
Section 1 9, frontline requesting backup. Damn! Where in the world is he?!
Parsifals! Fire!!
Evade! Thirty to port!
Helldarts! Fire!!
The Skygrasper has been hit!
Can you take me in?
Maintenance! Prepare for emergency landing!
That machine...
Bastard! Why?!
Shinn!
Now, Shinn! Fire!
Stop it!!
Athrun?!
Don't do it, Shinn!
Athrun?
But... that can't be...
That's enough!
Do you really understand what it is...
...you're trying to destroy?!
You want to end war forever.
So you have to destroy Logos!
And destroy Orb as well!
Is that really what you want?!
They won't listen, so we have no choice but to destroy them!
Is baring your fangs at this nation really the answer?!
Try and remember, Shinn!
What is it that you really wanted?!
You're a traitor who just won't die!
What are you trying to pull here?! Don't let him deceive you, Shinn!
Rey!
Shinn!
You're not going to attack Orb! I won't let you!
I don't like this place! I'd rather go to the Seiran shelter on the main island!
Please, sir! Get in there!
Lord Yuna!
Shut up! I...
Know what you're fighting for. Fighting for it's own sake...
...is pointless! Understand why you're angry!
Shut up!
What's going on?
Where are Lord Unato and Lord Yuna? They're awfully late.
What the hell are you saying?!
Shinn!
You don't know anything! You're a traitor!
The Freedom!
We'll submerge! Descend twenty!
Prepare to submerge!
Captain!
If they get underwater, we'll be out of options for an attack!
We have to ascend! Quickly!
Yes, ma'am!
Valiants! Fire!!
I can't wait any longer! Send out a shuttle!
However...
What's important is that I get out! The Seirans don't matter!
I'm sure you all understand that!
I must get to the moon!
Damn it!
Was your nightmare about that?
Damn it!
In honor of your distinguished service during the Heavens Base battle...
...we hereby award you, Shinn Asuka...
Shinn!
Shinn. You said you'd protect me.
It is my sincere hope that you will wear them with pride...
...and continue to display your strength...
And that's a weakness. You won't be able to protect anything because of it.
Damn it!!
Shinn!
Commander! Right now, we are at a disadvantage!
We should fall back!
You can't be serious... Imagine what might happen if we let Djibril escape!
However...
We've lost signal from the flagship St. Helens!
Something's launching from Section Two on the main island!
It's... It's a shuttle belonging to the Seirans!
What?!
A shuttle?
From the other side of the island?!
Lunamaria! Sortie at once! Stop that shuttle that just launched!
There's a good chance Djibril's escaping on it!
If necessary, I authorize you to destroy it!
Yes, ma'am!
Send our Murasames after it!
They can shoot it down! Don't let it reach space, no matter what!
Yes, ma'am!
Lunamaria Hawke! Core Splendor! Taking off!
With the loss of the flagship, this ship is now assuming command!
Fire the signal flares! We're retreating for now!
Captain!
We're at a disadvantage.
We can't find that man.
As it stands, there is no point in continuing this battle.
But, the Chairman ordered us to...
The Chairman ordered us to capture Djibril!
He said nothing about fighting against Orb!
Bring in the mobile suits!
All forces: We're withdrawing from Orb territory!
They're withdrawing?!
Captain Gladys...
Shinn!
We won't pursue if they pull back!
Relay that to our forces!
Yes, ma'am!
Athrun!
Medical team is to set up at Cybernetic. Team Two at Fuefukitai.
Flood the magazine for the F205s, then activate the seals for Level B!
Forward the list of volunteer medical staff to Takatsukasa's terminal.
Have the defense forces guard the coastline!
I know that, but no one else is available!
We need an update on casualties in the city first! We can't open the shelters yet!
Djibril was on that shuttle? Let's just hope ZAFT believes it.
Politically, there isn't a single nation we can count on out there.
Athrun!
Kira...
Get a stretcher! Call the medics, quick!
Right!
Then Djibril was on that shuttle?
We can't be certain, but I believe so.
In any case, you could not catch him, and you lost to Orb.
Is that what you're telling me?
Yes.
That's what it would mean.
Shinn.
We were facing the Archangel, the Freedom and...
...you could even say, the Justice.
With them entering the battle, we were clearly at a disadvantage.
In addition, we had no proof that the man was still in the country.
It was therefore becoming nothing but a battle of attrition.
I see. Thank you, Captain Gladys.
I think your decision was appropriate.
Thank you.
We'll check into that shuttle on our side.
Perhaps we should think of another way to negotiate with Orb.
Personally, I believe we should.
Here you are.
I had no place to go.
Neo Roanoke.
Born C. E. 42, November 29.
From North Luba in the Atlantic Federation. Blood type O.
Entered the Forces in C. E. 60.
Assigned to the 81st Autonomous Mobile Group. Alias Phantom Pain. Captain.
Or so I thought.
But I'm not so sure now.
I feel that... I know you.
No, I definitely know you.
My eyes, ears, arms... all of me.
That's why I couldn't just fly off.
I think I know how hard it's been for you.
But it's been hard for me, too.
So, can I stay here? By your side?
Are you all right?
That's the wrong question to ask Athrun...
...since he'll always say he is.
That's true.
Ah, right.
I'm really all right.
I'm glad.
It's good that we can talk like this again.
During peaceful days, we take things for granted, and quickly forget, but...
...moments like this are among the happiest in life.
Kira.
Do you mind if I turn on the TV? Cagalli's making an official statement.
Go ahead.
She says she'll make her intentions clear.
We'll deal with what comes from it later.
I'm Cagalli Yula Athha, Chief Representative of the Orb Union.
Today, I'm using worldwide media to deliver a message...
...to PLANT Supreme Council Chairman Gilbert Durandal...
...regarding his demands to hand over Lord Djibril...
...and his decision to invade our nation.
The message sent by Chairman Durandal the other day regarding Logos...
...along with the various pieces of information that supported it...
...had an impact on all of us.
The Chairman's promise to destroy Logos and make this a world free of war...
...was certainly attractive, both as a politician...
...and as an individual, considering the world's current state of confusion.
However... what this...
I am Lacus Clyne.
Cagalli!
I believe you are all aware of the battle that took place in Orb the other day.
Why would a nation with friendly ties to the PLANTs...
...decide to give refuge to Mr. Djibril?
I'm still having a lot of trouble figuring out why.
Why would Orb be willing to go to war to protect this man?
This leader of Blue Cosmos?
A man who doesn't mind firing nuclear weapons at the PLANTs, burning cities...
...using weapons of mass destruction, and using children as tools in combat.
Because Orb protected this man, we failed once again to catch him.
Okay Kira. I should be going now.
Lacus.
Don't worry, Athrun.
Just like you, I know what I have to do.
Our world is filled with temptations.
There's no crime in wanting better things, and wanting more.
However! Logos is different! It mustn't be allowed to exist!
There is no place for such evil in our World!
What we are trying to do is...
Do not be deceived by the appearance of that person.
Your appearance is similar to mine
It reverberates to my chest
As though it's quietly crying
I am Lacus Clyne.
That's impossible.
What's she doing in Orb?
The words of Lacus throw the world into confusion.
But all that pales when the beams begin to flash in space once again.
What we want to believe, are the words we've always wanted to hear.
What will become of humanity, if we're forced to make a choice?
Next, on Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny...
...''Lacus Times Two''.
Protect ZAFT's honor to the end, ZAKU!
