Off The Coast of Onogoro Island Orb Union Parsifals! Fire!!
Evade! Thirty to port!
Helldarts! Fire!!
The Sky Grasper has been hit!
Orb Forces Unified Operations Headquarters
Come on! Step back, guys! We're pushing you out!
In that case, stop shooting at their legs!
Orb Official Government Underground Shelter
- Yuna! - Lady Cagalli!
- Cagalli!
This is awful! It's too much! Cagalli...
I did everything I could while you were gone...
Mass Driver Kaguya - The Kaguya is secure, right?! - 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! - Right.
Bastard! Why?!
Shinn!
Now, Shinn! Fire!
Stop it!!
Athrun?!
Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny
Price of Freedom
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?!
Athrun.
You want to end war forever. So you have to destroy Logos!
And destroy Orb as well!
Is that really what you want?!
Try and remember, Shinn!
What is it that you really wanted?!
We'll begin with those. Let's go!
- Yeah! - Ready when you are!
Jet-Stream attack!
Lord Yuna!
Shut up! I'm Seiran's...
Haven't they secured the target yet?
We've received nothing to indicate that yet!
You're a traitor who just won't die! What are you trying to pull here?!
Don't let him deceive you, Shinn! You can't give Djibril a chance to escape!
Rey!
Shinn!
You're not going to attack Orb! I won't let you!
Fighting for its own sake is pointless! Understand why you're angry!
Shut up!
What the hell are you saying?!
Shinn!
You don't know anything! You're a traitor!
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!!
Damn it!
Was your nightmare about that?
Damn it!
Shinn. You said you'd protect me.
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 now!
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?!
Lunamaria! Sortie at once! Stop the shuttle that just launched!
There's a good chance Djibril's making his escape on it!
- If necessary, I authorize you to destroy it! - Yes, ma'am!
With the loss of the flagship, this ship is now assuming command!
Fire 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!
Kira...
- Get a stretcher! Call the medics, quick! - Right!
Everyone was hurt.
- We need an update on city casualties first! - Djibril was on that shuttle?
- We can't open the shelters yet! - Let's just hope ZAFT believes it.
- Is everything that happened... - Politically, we're on our own.
...is this the cost for what we've done?
-...then activate the seals for Level B! - Get the volunteer list to Takatsukasa.
Pacific Ocean 200 Miles Off The Coast Of Orb
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.
I'm terribly sorry.
Shinn.
We had definitely hoped...
For a world with no war. A world in which this tragedy would never be repeated.
But on the path we are taking right now...
...we are given a chance to earn it only by losing everything we have.
In this situation, will the people hold on to hope?
Is there really no alternative path?
It was as if the words of refusal we were looking for...
...would drift away into the smoke-lit skies of war.
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.
In peaceful times, we take things for granted, and quickly forget, but...
...moments like this are among the happiest in life.
Kira.
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.
Today, I'm using worldwide media...
ZAFT Forces Gibraltar Base ...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.
- I am Lacus Clyne. - Cagalli!
I believe you are all aware of the battle that took place in Orb the other day.
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.
Do not be deceived by the appearance of that person.
I am Lacus Clyne.
That's impossible. What's she doing in Orb?
I am well aware that there is a person with the same face, voice...
...and name as mine, working with Chairman Durandal.
What's this?
However...
She and I are two different people...
...and I want to make it clear that our beliefs are also different.
Hey! What's going on here?!
I... I...
I support neither Chairman Durandal's words, nor his actions.
This is amusing.
- Discontinue our broadcast. - Ah, yes, but...
I don't care! Just stop it! We're playing right into their hands!
Yes, sir!
Those who fight are not at fault.
Those who don't fight aren't at fault either.
Daedalus Base, Earth Alliance Forces Surface of the Moon
The fault lies solely with those who try and make us fight...
Operations Control Room
Logos, the merchants of death.
Not the Naturals. Not the Coordinators.
The only ones at fault are those people.
I ask the world, please do not get caught in the trap of his words...
... telling you that no one else is at fault.
We must better understand the true nature of this world of the future...
...if it were to continue along the path it is currently following!
- What's going on here?! - Why are there two Lacus Clynes?
- She's a fake! - No, but Orb...
That's right. Get one more shuttle ready for immediate take off.
l-I'm sorry! I... um...
It was an unexpected turn of events.
You must've been shocked. I was too.
Sorry about that.
How could something like this have happened?
But it has, so we'll have to adjust our plans accordingly.
Come with me, Miss Lacus.
Okay.
So...
That white queen sure is tough.
Yes?
But it's probably too late. I've pretty well already won this battle.
It'll be over soon.
- Rey! Rey! Wait! - What is it?
Ah, well... um...
What do you think about that Lacus Clyne from Orb, Rey?
What do you mean?
Well... um...
Which one do you think is real?
Not you too. This is ludicrous.
The enemy's reason for doing this was to spread confusion among us, right?
Everyone will begin to question the truth of it. Just like you're doing now.
A well thought out psychological strategy, I must say.
But why?
Why do people find that so important?
Is it because people believe the real one is right about everything...
...and the impersonator is evil?
To me, it doesn't matter.
Rey.
The Chairman is right. That's good enough for me.
Beam Deflection Station, Gounod
Twenty minutes till Gounod reaches destination point.
There are quite a number of them, as the report said.
Yeah. But why in a place like this?
Who knows.
But we can pretty well conclude that they're not a friendly delegation.
- Let's go! - Right!
ZAFT Forces Mobile Fortress, Messiah Requiem generators operating at 85 percent!
Numbers 23 through 55 have reached critical level!
Power flow stable. Ultra mirror reflector critical deviation three-one-two-nine.
Activating reserve cooling system G.R. Connecting bypass.
Are you seriously thinking about firing this?
Of course I am. That's why I made the trip all the way up here.
I am not finished yet, after all.
Gounod has reached destination point.
Faure. Czerny. Attitude stable. Activating fields.
Requiem generators operational. 480 seconds to criticality.
What's our target?
Aprilius! Obviously. Burn their capital city to ashes!
Target the PLANTs' capital, Aprilius!
Inputting target! Aprilius!
Disengaging final safety locks. All generators are at critical.
Prepare for first movement. Requiem system is ready to fire.
Seal disengaged. Commencing countdown. Firing in T Minus 35.
Raise the trigger!
Now, I shall grant you your wish, Durandal!
A requiem for you and all of your kind!
High energy beam being generated behind the moon!
Wh-Why, this is...
- Yzak! - All forces, evade!
- What is this?! - The beam curved?!
- What's this... - What just happened?!
Th-This can't be!
What's going on?! Where'd the attack come from?!
Tell me what the hell just happened here!
Captain!
What?! The PLANTs?!
Januarias?! That can't be!
Mother? NO!!!
How could this be?!
Why? Why did this happen?
It's Djibril.
They fired from behind the moon.
While our attention was on Arzachel, on the near side of the moon, as always.
Who would've thought they'd have something like that hidden away?
But how?! It's impossible to fire from behind the moon! How'd they do it?!
They installed massive Geschmeidig Panzer systems in abandoned colonies...
...and used them to bend the beam several times.
You're kidding...
With this system, no matter where the cannon is...
...with enough deflection points in the right position, they can aim at any target.
Simply, the tactics of a devil.
Why? How could they do this?!
It's our fault for letting Djibril get away.
Letting Djibril get away? But that...
Whatever the case, we should have got him!
This is a result of our weakness, Shinn.
Just Off Shore Carpentaria Base, ZAFT Forces
The ship is ready for takeoff.
Engines to maximum! The Minerva's taking off!
- Calm down! Don't panic! - You can't be serious!
Aprilius, Capital City of the PLANTs It's not as if they've stopped the attack, right?!
- How could they just fire at us like that?! - The entire city is in a state of panic!
- The rescue comes first! - No, we need to evacuate the city first.
But what if they fire a second shot while we're doing that?!
Is there no way to come to a peaceful settlement or ceasefire?
A ceasefire?! It's not a nation we're fighting against!
You can't negotiate with terrorists!
Are you suggesting we surrender to their use of force?!
We must look for alternatives to rescue!
But first, we must destroy that cannon on the Moon!
Yes, sir!
All ZAFT Forces. I ask that you tackle this situation with everything you've got!
Yes, sir!
The ZAFT fleet is on the move! Yellow 136 Alpha!
Hurry up and recharge Requiem!
How's the positioning for the Second Movement coming?!
Sir!
Keep it protected! We'll be sure to bury Aprilius for good this time!
Earth Alliance Forces Arzachel Base Surface Of The Moon
Eighth Mobile Fleet proceeding.
All hands take Level Two battle stations.
Okay, send up the Third Fleet!
Make sure that the Faure's defense is flawless!
The Minerva's gone up too.
It's an all out war. From both sides.
There's nothing we can do.
Because we sent him to the Moon.
And now, having allowed his escape, Orb will...
Yeah. The Chairman will probably bring that point up. At the next opportunity.
Yes.
Because the fact is, he wanted to destroy it during the battle the other day.
Orb.
After all this, he still wants to retaliate?
But this battle will end without him having to do that.
He just needs to get rid of Logos.
He's been saying so all along.
No. It will not end there.
The world of peace that he talks about.
In the world that he's trying to create...
...this nation and the existence of people like us are nothing but obstacles.
What?!
It's a world where everything is decided by the genes that a person is born with.
- Yes. - That's the Destiny Plan.
Destiny... Plan?
It's the ultimate destination for us Coordinators.
Always seeking to improve ourselves...
...and manipulating the human genome to do so.
Desires drive people to fight. They battle because they want.
So why not eliminate that right from the start?
Now we'll know what we can and can't do...
What we can and can't have, right from the beginning.
Because we'll already know the genes each person has and was born with.
That is the peaceful world with no war that the Chairman talks about.
Requiem operating at 48 percent.
Positioning for Second Movement will be set in a moment.
But then...
Are you saying there'd be no reason to dream? And desire? And try your best?
That it would be meaningless to hope for things to be this way or that?
That from now on, must we follow his orders with respect to everything...
...including our country, and the world?
Meaningless...
What, you never do anything meaningless?
I'm not the type of person who gives up easily!
You're right. I'm the same.
Otherwise, I doubt any one of us would be here right now.
Kira.
- Let's go to space too, Athrun. - Kira.
GO!!
We've got to stop the Chairman.
We can't let destiny decide our future for us.
Right.
Starboard 15! Descend 10! Hide in the shadows of the mountain!
Activate Tannhauser.
- Shinn! - I know!
It's those things again! They still haven't learned!
Primary weapon bank: contact. Output stable. Releasing safety lock.
Fire!!
- What's that? - A different mobile team?!
Luna!
A new enemy mobile suit in section six!
Destroy Two has been eliminated!
Requiem operating at 61 percent!
We've lost contact with the Eighth Mobile Group!
We're firing the Requiem now!
We can't wait for full power! Fire the damn thing! We'll tear them apart!
Luna!
Shinn!
That's it!
We can't do it! There's a problem with Faure! We can't get it into position!
We'll fire it anyway! We'll at least wipe out the forces around Faure!
But that would be the end of our plans! We could never recharge it in time!
Just fire it! I'll escape while that's happening.
Tera-capacitor number five. Storage level: 70 percent.
Primary extractor, standby.
These guys are still... Damn it!!
Seal disengaged. Commencing countdown. T minus 35 to firing.
Okay! Open com lines on all frequencies! Transfer the trigger to here!
I'm not letting you get away today.
Your role has come to an end.
Thank you, Djibril.
And goodbye.
Shinn!
We still don't have details about the state of affairs on the moon.
Given the circumstances, there's no guarantee that there won't be any trouble.
But the Archangel is now a part of the Orb Forces Second Space Fleet.
And I promise to give you all the support I can.
What Orb wants more than anything is world peace...
...but that can only be achieved through freedom and independence!
We will not choose submission or subordination!
I hope that the Archangel will do everything it can...
...to help us protect these beliefs.
We will leave in thirty minutes! All hands, to your stations!
Yes, ma'am!
Captain Roanoke. Please take good care of the Akatsuki.
- Sure thing. - Lady Cagalli.
Athrun.
It's all right.
Right now, this is how it should be. There's no need to rush things.
We all share the same dream.
Engines operating and stable. Conduits and F.C.S. online.
Power flow stable.
- I hear you're going too. - Ah, yes.
Look after him for me.
I can't go with you guys.
I'll pray for your safety.
Main power: contact. All systems: green.
All Archangel systems: online. Ready for take off!
Let's go, Captain.
Archangel, taking off!
We found three other relay colonies like it.
So there were five in all.
I can't believe it!
Messiah Control Room I can't believe it!
Messiah Control Room
- This kind of oversight is inexcusable! - Yes, sir.
Miss Lacus.
I've brought you some tea.
Lunar City, Copernicus
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.
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.
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?
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!
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.
None 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, yeah...
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!
Right now, the feelings of sorrow and anger that you're experiencing...
...are mine as well.
Why did something like this happen?!
Although I realize it's too late now... that it's pointless to dwell upon it...
...my heart wanders, searching for answers.
We all experienced a major war not too long ago.
And we made a pledge when that war ended.
Never to repeat those mistakes again.
So how in the world could this happen?
How did these foolish tragedies arise once again?
One reason, as I previously brought up...
...is, unquestionably, the existence of Logos.
They create an enemy, promote fear to make the two sides fight...
...and collect whatever profit is gained from it.
Throughout history, they're the people who've thrived in the shadows...
The merchants of death.
But we have finally succeeded in destroying them!
That's precisely why I wish to make this announcement.
- It's begun. - Now is the time...
Yes.
...for us to fight against another, enemy... the greatest of them all!
And we must defeat this enemy as well, if we wish to be truly liberated!
I'm sure that you all know by now.
Our greatest enemy is the reason why conflict has been with us...
...since the dawn of time, and why it will never disappear.
This enemy that we continue to fall short of overcoming...
...is none other than our own ignorance and selfish ambitions!
Do you know what he's talking about?
Wasn't this supposed to be a memorial speech?
What's the Chairman up to?
Even now, after leaving Earth and reaching the heavens...
...and learning the secrets of the body's potential...
...people still fail to understand each other.
They don't understand themselves, and are unsure of the future.
Such anxiety. All in order to have more! To be richer!
Our hands reach endlessly for limitless desires!
Right now, that's what we are! The seeds of conflict!
That's where the entire problem lies!
But we're now at a point where we can put an end to it.
Where we will put an end to it!
We have acquired the means to overcome it!
The answer to everything has always been within all of us!
Gilbert!
Mr. Chairman...
As a result, people will know others, know themselves, and the future.
This is the only way to prevent these tragedies from repeating themselves!
I hereby initiate "The Destiny Plan".
The ultimate plan designed to protect humanity from extinction!
Inside Messiah Computer Area Activating all systems for Destiny Plan.
Procedure one, multi-genome database, online.
Link established to hyper-sim server.
The Destiny Plan is a system for the ultimate salvation of humanity.
It is comprised of the most advanced technology and all the genetic...
...engineering skills we Coordinators have developed.
Lady Cagalli!
Every person has information within their body on their abilities...
...characteristics, intelligence, potential...
...and susceptibility to certain types of diseases and sicknesses.
First of all, it is important that we have a clear understanding of this information.
What's this? Mr. Chairman?
Why are you acting so surprised?
I'm sure you were aware of the kind of world the Chairman had in mind.
Well... yeah. But I don't think the world's ready for this yet.
- It'll be a lot of work! - I know.
But even so, the Chairman isn't the type to give up so easily.
You know that very well.
And he's got us on his side.
It's our job to create... and protect such a world.
That's what its power is for, right? The Destiny?
And you were the pilot chosen for it.
But... huh?
Shinn! Shinn!
We're having an important discussion. Come back later!
Rey! Why'd you...
The Chairman selected you because you are stronger than anyone...
...and you long for that world more than anyone else.
We're on the verge of making our dreams come true.
We're almost there.
This is something we must do, no matter what the cost.
Rey...
People must change, for sure.
Otherwise, they cannot be saved!
Take that Extended girl, for instance.
To keep that from ever happening again...
...the world really must change!
Rey...
Be strong, Shinn!
So that you can protect everything.
You're the one who will protect everything.
Rey?
Protect the Chairman, and the new world.
- What's the matter, Rey? - It's nothing! Leave me alone!
Anything new from the nations of Earth?
Nothing new, sir. The only clear responses are the rejections announced earlier...
...by Orb and the Kingdom of Scandinavia.
Therefore, our nation strongly opposes the implementation of the plan...
...proposed by Chairman Durandal!
However, perhaps in response to this...
...we've detected some movement at the Arzachel Base.
Then we'll fire at Arzachel first.
Begin preparations. We'll take care of Orb after that.
Yes, sir!
I thought I made it clear.
This is the ultimate plan designed to protect humanity from extinction.
All those who oppose it, must be enemies of humanity itself.
No matter what happens from now on, no matter who says what...
...believe in the Chairman.
He's the one with all the right answers.
I guess.
But why are you telling me this all of a sudden?
You sound like a father in some drama about to say his last words.
Stop it.
The truth is, I don't have much of a future left.
I was born with short...telomeres.
Because, I'm a clone.
A high energy beam detected on the far side of the moon!
What?!
The Daedalus Base?! It's the Requiem!
What did you say?!
Arzachel...
Luna...
They used the Requiem!
So they didn't dismantle it!
Contact the Minerva. Have them send Rey Za Burrel and Shinn Asuka to the Messiah.
- With their machines. - Yes, sir.
Captain. Get in touch with Orb.
We'll join the Eternal. Please prepare to take off at once.
- Right. - Lacus.
If we don't comply, we face death.
In any case, as it is, this world is doomed.
So we must fight.
We all have dreams. We all have hopes for the future.
That is the basic life force that every living creature possesses.
Whatever we might gain, if we are denied our dreams and future...
...we'll be ruined, capable of nothing more than mere existence.
All lives are meant to fight for a desired future.
It's right to defend it.
Yeah.
Archangel, taking off!
Mr. Chairman. The Archangel and the Eternal are...
And an additional force is headed for Daedalus.
Dispatch the Minerva and half of the Lunar Fleet to Station One.
The Gondwana and the rest are to go to Roland at the Daedalus base.
Yes, sir!
Kira Yamato! Freedom, taking off!
The issue isn't how many there are, or how they're equipped...
Athrun Zala! Justice, launching!
- The issue is... - METEORs, lift off.
This is Lacus Clyne of the Eternal.
This is a notice to all ZAFT soldiers defending the relay station.
We are about to destroy that useless weapon of mass destruction.
- Miss Lacus?! - But wait. Which one?
What?
That thing is not necessary to protect people, and unnecessary for battle!
If you have any pride left in the uniform you wear...
...if you want to fight for the sake of peace...
...you will let us through!
Mr. Chairman.
Hi, Rey. Shinn. Thanks for coming.
At this moment, Requiem's Station One...
...is under attack by the Archangel and the Eternal.
It's a troubling turn of events.
We would rather not be involved in any more battles.
At this rate, this truly will never end.
Right, sir. But we will put an end to it this time for sure.
This time, for certain, we will end this and change this world.
We must implement the Destiny Plan.
How do you feel about this?
Do you feel the same way, Shinn?
- Athrun! - Right!
The Minerva?!
I...
Because, I'm a clone.
We were created as an investment, to make a single person...
...a dream, known as Kira Yamato.
Likely for no other reason than because it could be done.
But what am I, the end result...
...supposed to do?
I have no father or mother.
I know nothing about the dreams of those who made me.
I age quicker than others, so I cannot imagine myself...
...someone who will be dead in the near future...
...as some wonderful achievement in the progress of science.
Rey.
Another version of me cursed this fate.
He fought to destroy everything, and died.
But who's to blame? What was wrong with that?
Every one of us is a child of this world... shaped by what it's become.
That's why we must end everything, and change things.
So that children like us will never again be born into this world.
That's why you have to protect that future.
Yes. I feel the same way Rey does.
Fire!!
The Impulse?! Sis?!
I'm doing the right thing, aren't I? This is how it should be, right?! Shinn!
Sis! Stop it!
Meyrin?! Aboard the Eternal?!
Why are you fighting?! Why are you fighting?!
Why can't you tell which Lacus is the real one?!
Turn bow thirty degrees to port! Activate Tannhauser!
The Minerva is ready to fire its positron cannon!
Damn, they've got us!
If we move, their shot will hit the Eternal!
Fire!!
I won't let you get the Archangel!
Murrue...
I...
I'm okay.
I'm never leaving you again.
Let's finish this, and go home together, Murrue!
Mu...
Bastard! What do you think you're doing out here again?!
Yzak!
Would you forget that nonsense?!
Dearka!
Let's hurry up and finish the job that we started!
Messiah is declaring a battle alert. Condition Red. I repeat...
Okay, good! Withdraw all Forces!
Engines to maximum! We're heading for the cannon!
We're going after them! Maximum speed!
Minerva! Fire the Deuterion Beam! I'm gonna head straight there.
- Target, distance 8000. - Aim Lohengrin!
Captain! A giant structure approaching from Orange 186!
- A fortress?! - Detecting massive energy buildup!
Hurry with the recharge. Destiny, Legend, take off.
Missiles approaching from astern! Distance 22!
Rey Za Burrel, Legend, taking off!
Shinn Asuka! Destiny, taking off!
- Athrun! - Yeah! Let's go, Kira!
Rey!
Hey, hey! This isn't looking too good!
Where's the main force?! What's happening with Requiem?!
Signals confirmed for Susanoo, Kusanagi, and Tsukuyomi.
But the rest are unconfirmed! It's total chaos out there!
We've walked right into their trap!
This isn't good, Kira! At this rate, Requiem will...
Why won't this guy just...
If we don't get 'em now, they'll repair their first relay point!
Station Two, in position in 160.
Neo-Genesis, power charge at 40 percent.
Orb's gonna be hit!
The lmpulse is approaching!
Sister.
Athrun, please go on!
Archangel too!
- Kira? - Kira?
The Eternal and I will keep things under control here.
The rest of you, please head to the Requiem.
- Um, that's an order! - What?!
But then, the Eternal won't...
Your priority should be saving Orb, not this ship.
Orb is the final obstacle to implementing their plan.
If we lose Orb, the world will be swallowed up.
We must protect Orb at all costs!
So please go, Athrun. Captain Ramius.
Now, hurry!
All right.
I can't let you go! What's taking the Minerva so long?!
Rey! Freedom... damn you!
Shinn! You go after the Archangel, join forces with the Minerva!
I will shoot down the Freedom!
- Rey. - You get the Justice!
Make sure you get that traitor once and for all.
Now end everything. All that happened in the past.
Okay, gotcha!
That's right! We'll end it!
What's this? How is this possible?
- This time, for sure! - You're...
We'll end everything!
Tell me, who are you?
Who are you?!
I'm sure you've realized by now who I am.
I'm Rau Le Creuset!
There are so many of them!
But numbers alone won't do you any good!
Gottfrieds! Fire!!
From Blue Alpha to the Minerva! Distance 16!
Missiles approaching!
The Justice?! Athrun?!
The lmpulse! Is that you, Lunamaria?!
Athrun...
Sis! Stop it!
Why are you fighting?! Why can't you tell?!
But why did you have to take Meyrin?
How dare you take Meyrin!
Stop it, Lunamaria! Stop it!
Don't run away!
Damn it!
Don't get in my way! I don't wanna fire on you!
Nonsense!
Stop it!
- Luna! - Shinn!
Damn you! You traitor!
Shinn!
- Are you all right, Luna?! - Shinn...
You're the worst!
How dare you?! How dare you hurt Luna?!
Shinn! Athrun!
Rau Le Creuset?
Mankind's dream! Mankind's future! You are its result! Kira Yamato!
Because of that, you must vanish from this world, this time for sure!
Along with us!
Kira!
For the sake of the world that is about to be reborn!
Hey, where's Rau?
Rau is no longer with us.
- Why? - But you are also Rau.
That is your destiny.
Shinn...
This can't be. Why you?! Why have you come back?!
The one thing you can never run away from is yourself.
And the one thing you can never recover is your past!
That's why we must end this! Everything!
And we shall all return to what we are meant to be!
All people! The world!
- Hilda! - But you're wrong!
Everyone has just one life!
So, the life you're living is your own! It's not his!
Shinn! Would you stop it, already?!
Damn! Why you?
I won't lose to you!
Stop fighting with your mind stuck in the past!
No matter how much you do, nothing is gonna come back!
H-How dare you!
And now you're trying to kill off the future as well?!
Is that really the kind of power you want?!
- Shinn! - Shinn!
But if the enemy proves to be a threat, it can't be helped.
Unless we fight when there is a need to fight...
And that's a weakness. You won't be able to protect anything because of it.
However...
However!
Shinn! Stop it! You too, Athrun!
Stella! Mayu!
Cut it out!!
You damn fool!
Shinn!
We'll charge right through! Korinthos! Fire!
- Barrel roll! Aim Valiants! - Yes ma'am!
Fire!!
Tristans one and two are damaged! Launchers on both sides unable to fire!
Captain! At this rate...
Captain Gladys.
Main thrusters damaged! Unable to control the ship!
Station Two positioning almost completed.
Orb Forces mobile suits at the mouth of Requiem.
We will eliminate the Orb Forces at the mouth of the cannon. Aim Neo-Genesis.
- Where are the Legend and the Destiny? - We've lost both their signals.
Rey's also been defeated? By that?
Lacus! The Meteor!
They are such a nuisance.
Lacus Clyne and Kira Yamato.
Well, it can't be helped. We'll have to deal with them later.
After cleaning up the enemies at the cannon's mouth...
...we'll annihilate Orb and end this battle!
- Inform our forces. - Yes, sir!
Eternal!
The Messiah is about to be fired!
Have everyone in the line of fire move away! Hurry!
- Athrun! Murrue! - Engines to maximum! Evade!
Captain!
The Malves and the Breton...
Gilbert! How could you?!
Station Two, firing angle set. Activating Geschmeidig Panzer.
Damn it!
Shinn...
Shinn.
Stella?
What's the matter, Stella? It's dangerous.
You shouldn't be in a place like this.
It's all right. I came here just for a moment to see you.
Just for a moment? You're only here for a moment?
- Right now, that is. - Right now?
But we'll have tomorrow.
- Tomorrow? - Tomorrow.
I was given a yesterday! Finally!
So I know. I know what it is.
Tomorrow. And I'm happy!
So, I'll see you tomorrow, Shinn.
Stella.
Tomorrow, okay? Tomorrow...
Stella...
This can't be happening. Why?
- Stella... - Shinn?
Shinn!
- Luna? - Shinn!
You're okay.
- What's that? - The Requiem.
Orb was not hit.
- The shield has been destroyed! - The Freedom's coming!
It's followed by the Eternal!
Kira!
Captain. The Messiah...
The battle is over for this ship. All hands, abandon ship!
Y-Yes, ma'am!
Captain Gladys...
I hate to ask you at a time like this...
...but please look after everyone for me, Arthur.
- I've got to go. - Huh? Ah, right!
Please take care of everyone. I'm sorry.
Right...
Honestly, I didn't think you would make it this far.
Kira Yamato.
I see. But are you sure that's the best solution?
Don't do it. We've made it this far.
If you do it, this world will once again return to darkness and chaos.
I am telling you the truth.
Kira...
You may be right.
But we have the ability to choose not to let that happen.
Because we live in a world where choices are allowed.
But no one ever makes that choice.
People forget, and repeat the same mistakes.
They say they will not allow it to happen again!
That the world won't end up like this! But who can say that with certainty?!
Nobody can say so with certainty.
Certainly not you, nor the young lady...
Because nobody really knows what lies ahead.
Damn. Kira!
Gil.
Look, we know that!
We also know that we can learn to understand, and that we can change things!
So, the life you're living is your own! It's not his!
That's why we want a tomorrow!
No matter how much we suffer, we don't want a world where nothing changes!
How arrogant. You're not the ultimate Coordinator for nothing, I see.
You're the one being arrogant!
I'm nothing more than a single human being!
Nothing about me is different from any other! And it's the same with Lacus!
However! That's why I must shoot you!
Because I know that!
But between your world, and the one I've described...
...which one would people really prefer?
Say you shoot me now.
What will you do when the world is thrown into chaos once again?
I'm ready for that.
I will fight!
Kira!
Rey!
Athrun.
Rey.
Hi, Talia. Are you the one who shot me?
No. It was Rey.
Gil!
I'm... sorry...
But... his... tomorrow...
I understand.
- Captain Gladys. - You should go!
I'll personally deliver this person's soul!
Please tell Captain Ramius...
I have a child. A boy.
Please ask her to go and visit him sometime.
Very well.
Rey! Come over here!
I apologize, Talia. But I'm happy.
You're such a rascal. But truly, I guess it can't be helped.
It just shows that it was destiny. For you and I.
Give me a break.
You did a great job.
So it's all right. It's all right now.
What about Kira and Athrun?
Mo... ther...
Signals from the Justice and the Freedom confirmed!
Yellow 8, Delta.
Please open a communication link to the Gondwana.
Yes, ma'am.
This is Lacus Clyne of the Eternal.
I am addressing the remaining top commanders of the ZAFT Forces.
We believe that further battle in this region is meaningless...
...and therefore do not desire to continue.
I ask for your agreement to a ceasefire...
...by both Forces, as of this moment.
I repeat. We believe that further battle in this region is meaningless...
Is that really the kind of power you want?!?
Try and remember, Shinn! What was it that you really wanted?!
Shinn...
C. E. 74 / The PLANTs and the Orb Union agree to a truce...
...and begin talks to end the war.
Further to the request of the PLANT Council...
...Lacus Clyne, who had been serving as the mediator to the two nations...
...returns to the PLANTs homeland.
Onogoro Island, Orb Union
Then they don't have a grave?
No. Just a little cenotaph. That's all.
I hated this place.
But I always thought about it.
It wasn't like this.
Not a place like this.
Perhaps it means they can't be fooled.
No matter how beautiful the flowers are, people will wipe them out again anyway.
But look at this place now.
I hate this place even more.
Shinn.
Birdy!
Kira.
So you came.
Yeah.
Shinn.
This guy's Kira.
Kira Yamato. He pilots the Freedom.
What?!
I guess not, huh?
Birdy!
U-Um...
I...
No matter how badly things get blown apart...
We will always plant flowers again.
I'm sure.
Y-Yeah...
That is the battle that we fight.
Come fight with us.
Yes!
Eventually, everyone learns, like the very first person did, about good and evil.
Now, the fear was that they'd reach out for the fruit of the tree of life...
...and live forever.
As a result people were punished and exiled from the paradise named rejoice.
Is that why people continue to reach out?
In search for the Garden they lost in the distant past and can never return to?
But time doesn't go back.
Therefore, I want to believe that what we're searching for...
...what lies in the future, is what we're heading for.
Though there may not be a tree of life, I believe the day will come...
...when we can create a Garden with our own hands, where we can live happily.
