We found three other relay colonies like it.
We were able to take control of them all without incident.
So there were five in all.
I can't believe it!
This kind of oversight is inexcusable!
Yes, sir.
You're right. Sure, the enemy was cunning...
...but it seems we were too preoccupied with Earth's situation.
Could you move the colonies into a lunar orbit for the time being?
We'll decide what to do with them later.
Yes, sir!
What about the Daedalus Base?
We've sent the Roland Team there, as you ordered.
They should be arriving any moment now.
I see. Thank you.
Then have the Minerva and the Lunar Fleet get some rest.
They must be exhausted from all these battles.
Yes, sir.
I must say they did a superb job. The Lunar Fleet performed well...
...but the Minerva was outstanding.
Indeed. Thanks to them, we may have finally reached the end.
I'm told that we finally eliminated Djibril...
...who was trying to make yet another escape.
I'm also told that the President of the Atlantic Federation is at Arzachel...
...but I don't imagine he'll be attempting anything with his forces.
No, sir.
But could we have been any more stupid?
We should've been well aware of how incredibly dangerous it is...
...to casually assume that nothing this terrible could possibly happen.
Yet once again, we could not prevent this from happening.
Truly, I'm terribly ashamed.
Oh, no. I'm not blaming you men for what happened.
I myself need to beg for forgiveness.
For the many lives that have been lost.
But these feelings are all the more reason why...
...we must create a world where this kind of thing will not happen.
It's the least we can do to atone for the many lives lost.
Yes, sir.
What? What's wrong?
What do you mean, "What?"
It's the first break we've had in a long time...
...so why come straight here to practice shooting?
Ah, but I did catch up on my sleep, and Rey said he was going to, so...
As you wish, then.
Hey, wait a minute.
Luna!
Luna. Luna! What are you so angry about?
I'm not angry about anything!
You're definitely angry about something!
It's okay!
It's not okay! I'm confused!
I just wanted to sit down and talk with you.
I'm still confused about what happened...
...with Athrun... and Meyrin.
But never mind.
All I wanted to say was, don't worry about it.
When I think that they could still be alive, I have trouble remaining calm.
But you did nothing wrong, Shinn.
Luna.
I know that you were only following orders.
And it's not as if there's evidence clearing them of their alleged crimes.
Entry angle satisfactory. Approach normal.
Archangel, enter spot number seven.
Archangel here. Roger. We'll be entering spot number seven.
So, the pilot of the Impulse who defeated me was that Shinn kid?
Yeah, that's right. And that kid's now piloting the Destiny.
The Destiny...
But frankly, I was surprised when it happened.
I never expected you to lose to Shinn.
I was confused about whether I should...
...be fighting against ZAFT, so I hesitated.
Cagalli was there too, and I was hoping for some way to escape the situation.
The Archangel also went down. It was a day of surprises.
But maybe that's what made it all the more clear to me. That this isn't right.
Athrun.
It's what makes dealing with the Chairman and Rey really difficult.
When you talk to them, everything they say sounds right.
I agree. I know what you're saying. What they say probably is correct.
I think Shinn has trouble seeing past that.
He has his own dreams, and he's the type who will do his best to fulfill them.
I see.
In this quiet night
I'm waiting for you
Forgetting the past
Your smile has faded away
Now that a little time has gone by
Memories become...
Do not be deceived by the appearance of that person.
I am Lacus Clyne.
There's nothing to worry about.
But in the meantime, I want you to stay out of the public eye.
I'll make sure you're treated with care. I truly appreciate what you've done for us.
That's right. Because I'm...
That was all me. Not her! I did all that.
He won't need you to do what you're doing forever, either!
When the time comes, you will be killed as well!
That can't be true! There's no way!
Miss Lacus.
I've brought you some tea. Won't you have a cup?
Um...
Yes?
Have you heard from the Chairman yet?
No.
Unfortunately, nothing yet.
But you can't blame him, given what the PLANTs are going through now.
I'm sure you're well aware of it.
Yes! I know! Of course I know! But still!
The reality is, the nation finds itself in a very difficult situation.
For one thing...
...there is even word that the Archangel has entered port here in Copernicus.
The Archangel?!
Yes.
I can't figure them out. To come up to the moon at a time like this.
Do you think maybe that person is with them too?
You know. That person from Orb who said she was with the Archangel.
Ah, r-right.
She doesn't realize how much trouble she's causing.
At this rate, she could ruin everything...
...the Chairman's been working so hard to accomplish.
Why would she do such a thing?
The true Miss Lacus isn't that sort of person, is she?
The Miss Lacus I know is always right and loves peace...
...yet guides us through difficult times when necessary.
She's even willing to enter the battlefield and fight alongside us.
That's the sort of person she is.
That's why we admire her. A Miss Lacus who doesn't do that is nothing but a fake.
A fake?
I believe that the Miss Lacus who has stood by the Chairman's side...
...to assist him since the beginning of this war is the real Miss Lacus.
What are you...
Please call me Sarah, Miss Lacus. I will help you in any way I can.
It has to be this way, so as not to cause further problems.
Isn't that right? Miss Lacus.
Now, help yourself to some tea. Let's talk some more.
I'm sure we can come up with an excellent plan.
It's been such a long time since I've been outside.
I've been confined in a ship for months.
Really?!
Yes.
Until the other day, we were in space. And before that, we were underwater.
Wow...
I know it can't be helped, but it can get tiring.
You sure about this?
Ah, sure.
We'll be on our way, Captain Ramius!
Okay. But be careful out there.
Right.
Are you sure it's okay to let them go alone?
Don't worry. They're only going to the city for a bit, and they're well guarded.
No, that's not what I meant. You don't mind staying here?
If you'd like to get some fresh air, I'd be happy to accompany you.
It's gotta be tough staying aboard the ship all the time, even for you.
Especially given your position.
Thank you. But I'm just fine here on board.
Then at least let me escort you around the ship for now.
What?
Hey, what do you say we take a bath together?
What?! You can't be serious!
There's no way you could be the same person.
What?! Think so?
This is my first time to Copernicus. How about you?
Ah, yes. Me too.
That's a problem! I won't accept it!
Don't be so upset, Athrun.
I'm not upset. Just a bit disgusted.
That's the same thing.
Just think about it! Lacus...
Yes?
Nothing.
Is that so?
Don't worry, Athrun.
I'm all right, and so is Lacus.
Stop trying to take care of everything by yourself.
Okay?
What do you think, Kira?
I think it looks fine.
How do you like this?
I think it looks okay.
You don't seem to care what I wear.
Sorry!
What? Of course I care...
Hello, hello. Excuse me.
You understand?
Haro?
Oh, my.
This is Meer's!
Help! I'm going to be killed, Miss Lacus!
What?
This has "trap" written all over it.
Yeah. But still, we can't ignore it!
No way! I won't accept it!
Damn! And they set this trap knowing that too!
Shut up! What's your name?! Is this that girl?
That's right. Meer Campbell. The Chairman's Lacus.
You need to protect Lacus and return to the ship at once!
Ah, no. We'll call for backup. Just wait.
We still don't know what they're after.
I'm going with you.
You foo-
This person is asking for me!
However...
It's something we were going to have to deal with sooner or later.
Right, Kira?
Kira!
I would like to meet her.
What?!
All right. In any case, let's contact the ship.
You serious?
It's all right, Athrun.
We already know it's a trap, and we'll be together. Okay?
Thank you, Kira.
You're welcome. But be careful.
Hello, hello. Thank you very much.
Meer.
Athrun!
Athrun!!
That idiot. I told her to lure him onto the stage.
Athrun! You're alive!
Stop right there!
Athrun?
I got your message!
I also know that this is a trap!
I'm giving you one last chance, Meer.
That's why I came!
Athrun.
Miss Lacus.
Hello, Miss Meer. Nice to finally meet you.
In your letter, you asked for my help.
Said you were going to be killed.
If so, I ask you to come with me.
That's me! It's me!
Meer?!
The true Miss Lacus isn't that sort of person, is she?
A Miss Lacus who doesn't do that is nothing but a fake.
This world has been saved, thanks to you.
I will never forget that, and neither will the people.
Meer! Calm down! It's all right! So...
B-But I'm the real Lacus! Because... I'm right, aren't I?!
I have the same voice and face as her!
I'm the real Lacus! What's wrong with that?!
Meer! Cut it out! You're...
If it's my name you want, you may have it.
And my appearance.
But even then... You and I will still be different people.
That will never change.
Neither of us can be anything other than ourselves.
But that's why you and I exist, and stand here before each other, right?
That's why we have encounters, right?
With one another, and also with ourselves.
Your dreams belong to you.
So please sing your dreams for your own sake.
You mustn't let others use your dreams for their benefit.
Birdy.
Lacus!
Kira!
This way!
How many are there?! Do you know?!
I don't know! Only Sarah!
Miss Meer.
It's going to be all right. Okay?
Run!
Hey, what's going on?
Are you kids alright?!
What took you so long, Mu?!
Look after Lacus and the others! Hurry!
Yeah, gotcha.
You okay?
Yeah. Somehow.
I'm sorry to put you through this sort of thing. Again.
Well, um, thank you.
Come on, Princess.
You too.
Watch out!
Miss Meer!
Miss Meer... Miss Meer!
Please remember... my song...
And... my life.
She has a bright, kind expression. Is this you?
Meer!
I would've liked to... meet you... properly.
All of you.
Meer!
Get her to the Archangel right away, Mu!
I'm sorry...
Miss Meer!
Meer!
Damn it!
Your appearance is similar to mine
It reverberates to my chest
As though it's quietly crying
The only thing she left behind was a single photo and a disk.
Lost is a life and a well of memories that could not be told.
Is change what a dream's about? Is the unchanged self the true self?
Feeling helpless, Lacus aims her sights at the biggest enemy of them all.
Next, on Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny...
...''Meer''.
Stand strong against the nightmarish world, Freedom!
