Okay, everyone !
It's time for our campus festival's biggest attraction.
The Miss Countryside Queen Contest.
It's starting, Liz !
Bertuo, wait up !
We're accepting nominees unrelated to...
Why're you hesitating ? I bet all my money you'd be queen.
I don't feel like being an object for betting.
Ooh, nice legs.
Cecily Fairchild !
There's no reason to be treated tactlessly by a mechanic student like you.
Cecily, come up here !
I'm not an object for betting !
You're being nominated !
Cecily isn't necessary.
Cecily !
It's the army's doing, right ? What're they doing ?
Thank you.
What ? Was that a vibration ?
This isn't a drill !~~I'm coming to look at the port's condition.
Really ? Enemy units ?!
At the army area !
Is there an enemy nowadays ?
Seems so.
Cecily, it seems the time I've waited for is here.
Was that rumor true ?
I think it is. Crossbone Vanguard is a pirate's name.
It's definitely a rebellion. Evacuate all personnel !
The rebel forces probably made complete preparations.
Resistance is out of the question.
All right. This year's Miss Countryside Queen is...
Miss Cecily Fairchild !
Me ? But this dress isn't even country-style.
It doesn't matter if you're beautiful !
Shut up, you mechanic !
You shut up !
Was that your brother just now, Liz ?
Don't know.
Because of that kind of vote, I have no choice but to forfeit my position.
Forfeit ? You can't !
Whose Mobile Suits are those ?
Run with me, okay ?!
Get down !
This kid's dead...!
Dorothy ! Stand up. This place is...
Come on !
Let us in !
This place is full.
I'm going home...
Cecily !
Civilians, evacuate !
This is Dwight Camury.
I need to talk to Deputy Commander Camury. This is his son.
The line's cut.
Get moving !
It seems to be a war, but is it for real ?
Brother, get the survival kit.
Right.
I wonder if Mom's alright in the space colony ?
TV's no use at all. Hey, what're you doing ? Come on !
Okay !
Forget it !
Get up.
We of the Crossbone Vanguard have no intention of causing more harm to civilians.
Papa, are you back yet ?!
Theo !
The Crossbone Vanguard doesn't wish to harm civilians, please wait at the evacuation capsule.
This is happening because I wore Mom's dress.
Papa should be blamed too.
Mama dumped him, but he's still in love with her.
Hey !
Sister !
What're you guys doing ?!
Bertuo, where's your Mom ?
It's getting windy.
I couldn't find her.
Let's go to the next block !
Cecily, Arthur !
Oh, is that way better ?!
Dorothy, Mobile Suits are swarming all over in that direction !
Don't cry.
There must be holes somewhere on the space colony's wall.
Possibly.
Leah, we'll find your Mommy soon.
Whose army is that ?
Here they come !
Down there !
In a place like this...?!
The Fed forces are widening the battleground.
They're fighting like amateurs.
Dwight ?
This is happening 'cuz of military people like your father !
Sam, Azuma, we gotta get him.
My dad hasn't run away yet !
Dwight, come on !
Thanks.
This way's no good. Dwight, which way ?
This way.
Really ?
I'm not mistaken, I heard it from my father.
This way then ?
Right !
Azuma !
The shelter's a museum.
Really ?
It's inside the lobby !
It won't budge.
So that's why no one's come this way.
See. My memory hasn't failed me.
The enemy is coming this way ? Liz, get down !~~You too, Sam !
A tank ?
It's not a tank; it's a Mobile Suit.
Don't fall back from here.
Don't think this place will be so friendly, you enigmatic army.
This way !
Okay.
Dwight !
Outta my way !
I, Roy Jung, director of Roy's War Museum, undertake the protection of this place !
Some antique just came out. Is it that weapons maniac, Commander Roy ?
Get'em outta the way !
Here it comes again !
This way !
This Mobile Suit transforms.
It's an old-type tank.
Watch the kids for me. I don't like the way it looks outside.
Dorothy !
Is this the shelter ?
Does the shelter have a phone line ?
Yeah, we might be able to make contact with the Fed Army.
Azuma, Arthur, what're you doing ?
Death to anyone who doesn't fight.
Sam, is that a real cannon ?
Well, he says he's gonna take the assembly hall back with this tank.
But it's a transformable Mobile Suit from ten years ago or so.
Arno...
You know a wharf 24 at the outer wall ?
Yeah.
There's a battleship waiting for refugees.
Are the military's leaders trying to escape ?
Looks like it.
Chris, forward.
Yes, sir !
If I don't protect Frontier IV, there won't be a place to fund the museum.
You kids, do you understand the launcher ?
Yes. It's in the bed of the top cover...
Stop this !~~Are you trying to get yourselves killed ?
Get to the shelter !
Rather than die in that place...
We'll fight the invasion.
Why won't this close ?!
I see the assembly hall.
Aim straight up, Rohbar...
A...Arthur !
It's crazy !
Sam, where's Arthur ?
What ? He was on top. What happened to him ?
The Commander ? What happened to him ?
Don't know.
The shelter can't be used.
Commander Roy !
We can't use it ?
You guys didn't run away ?
Forget about Arthur !
But...
We can go through the shelter to the colony's outer wall.
Commander Roy has crushed the shelter's escape route.
So there'll be no provisions of normal suits, oxygen, or even food for us.
Hey, hey, Arthur ! Arthur, hey ! What're you doing here ?
Hey...come on ! Don't kid around !
Arthur ! Wake up !~~If a person like you isn't around, everyone's in trouble !
Stop. Let him rest in peace.
But, it's Arthur...
Azuma !
We're escaping in that tank !
But Seabook's...
Arno, everyone's going.
I'll go.
Your sister's there too. You...
I know ! I know...
But what the hell is this ? Two armies fighting...
I won't get killed just for an adult's convenience.
Ouch.
What're you doing ?
It's milk.
Seabook, aren't you going a bit too fast ?
The accelerator pedal's stuck.
The Fed army !
Stop.
Y...you guys.
Can't we pass through ?
Just what we needed. Use them !
Cooperate with us if you want to fight back.
We only want to go to wharf 24.
Hey, what the hell do you want ?
No !
What's with you ?!
We have to stop the enemy here.
Everyone, we're getting outta here !
The enemy won't attack if we use children as shields. Stop them !
What the...?
Brother...!
Use children as shields ? Are they serious ?
Get those children !
Stay away, stay away.
Stop !
You're resisting ? Capture them !
We have no intention of doing that.
We damaged the leg...
What ? That voice...
Cover your ears !
He's going to do it ?
Where do you plan to run to ?
Dad, there's a ship at wharf 24.
Then turn left at the next corner.
Uncle !
Uh, sorry. Are they the only ones ?
Arthur's... well, he's gone.
The ringing in my ears...
You can't cry forever.
Migen, here.
Mineral water in condensed milk won't help much.
Here, this isn't a nipple, but...
We have a child who's still breastfeeding ? Is the right gunpod still useable ?
Probably.
There, to the left.
The earrings Mother left me are ringing.
Seabook, can we get through ?
Everyone hold on !
This elevator seems to work.
Does it work ?
Yeah.
Sam, you guys don't have normal suits, do you ?
There are some oxygen masks in the survival cases.
Dorothy, is your father at the pier ?
He was in the Army Intelligence Office when I called.
Azuma, aren't there any normal suits here ?
This elevator is for vehicles...
I see.
There's probably some at the pier.
The ringing's getting softer.
Dad, how is it outside ? An army called Crossbone Vanguard...
Yeah, I heard there's a warship approaching.
Where are you going ?!
The ship's left already !
Sir...?
Go down one more level. There should be at least one spaceboat there.
Are you leaving ?
Let's not.
Why ?
The Minovski Particles make tracking Cecily take too much time.
The brass ran away long ago.
Wanna run away to the neighboring colony, Frontier III ?
What is it ?
We can't fight here. Civilians inevitably become fighters in the future.
But what we saw was a Jegan Type III Mobile Suit.
I know, but those who run away can be dangerous.
We don't know what they'll do to survive.
Yes, sir.
Be careful after all. Continue searching.
Yes, sir.
How is it ?
Where are you going ?
To the elevator. Aren't you worried about the explosion ?
Sam, get my dad to hurry.
Okay.
Hey, I'm going with you !
You don't need to !
Hurry him up, all right ?
I know.
Make him stop crying.
I'm trying.
Azuma, you're going out too ?
If it's necessary. Outside may be troublesome.
There's nothing to be afraid of, so sit.
Finished.
Thanks.
Dwight, can you do it ?
It should be the same as a car.
You're kidding. We did a real-time practice once, but...
Can't he open the hatch yet ?
What's wrong ?
What is it ?
There's probably a comm switch in front, to your left.
Skin to skin contact, eh ?
The power's out, but I can open the hatch manually.
Mr. Arno, how're you getting back here then ?
Get everyone in.
Okay.
I'll be ready soon.
Why ?
It will all become clear to you.
I don't understand.
Cecily... What's going on ?
Don't move ! Forget your friends !
What're you doing ? Drop the gun or I'll shoot you.
Go away ! Don't meddle in our family's affairs.
A parent...A parent would point a gun at his own child ?
Shut up !
Don't shoot !
Please stop !
Damn you...
Don't go !
Why ? You shot at my friend.
Think about why I made you wear your mother's earrings. Today's a special day.
Seabook !
Cecily, don't...
Don't !
Stay away !
Mr. Dorel ?
That wasn't what we planned, Theo Fairchild.
Yes, sir.
This girl's my younger sister ?
Yes, sir.
Don't be afraid. Your brother came in person to take you to your real home.
Return home ? Why ? Tell me why ?
You're needed in the Ronah Family. I'm only following our grandfather's orders.
Me ? Grandfather ?
It's still not time to relax. Quickly now.
You're Dorel Ronah ?
Yes.
But if I don't get Mom's approval...
What're you talking about ?
Your mother's whereabouts are unknown because Theo helped her escape.
It'd be wise to join the Crossbone Vanguard so you can find your mother.
Return home for that ?
May I serve her after she settles down ?
The Ronah Family doesn't forget the kindness of foster parents.
Yes, sir.
Brother !
Are you okay ?
Liz, get scissors and some sterilizers.
What're you doing ? Sit down, everyone.
Sam, how's Dad ?
He's gonna open the hatch.
I see.
Everyone, put on your seatbelts. Azuma, can you see Mr. Arno ?
Yeah, leave it to me.
I'll open it soon, Azuma.
Yes, go ahead.
Open the hatch.
Hey, that was too fast. Do it right.
Sir !
Do it smoothly.
Be patient.
I'm trying to.
Look ! Our town's burning down there.
I can't be sure from 6,000 meters up. All we can see are trails of smoke...
I wonder if there's a hole somewhere in the colony ?
What is it ?
A hole in the colony !
We're losing !
You're going to stand there even though I promised I won't try to commit suicide ?
Yes, until Lady Berah Ronah is introduced to her grandfather.
I'm Cecily Fairchild... I'm not Berah Ronah.
You're the daughter of the Ronah Family, which can claim the cosmos.
As a daughter of the royal family, spreading their ideals is your duty.
Duty ?
Yes.
Am I supposed to change into this ?
Yes.
I understand. I'll do it myself.
No, we'll assist.
This way.
It's only the middle of autumn.
Right.
There's a false rumor that our attack caused the weather control computer to malfunction.
The rumor isn't false.
Just like a fragment of sorrow.
The glass-colored snow enclosing the town.
Even the eyes, searching for tomorrow.
Are made clouded beyond the darkness.
Carried away by the unknown power, the heart is going astray somewhere.
Deep within the bosom, ready to burst open, only the beating is surely living.
Within the gleaming wind, being able to hear your voice.
``Pray don't break a peace forever'' For believing in that brilliance.
Oh, you're well, Lady Berah. Congratulations on your homecoming.
Don't you see, it was this kind of behavior that made Mother hate you ?
I had no choice but to do it. No choice.
The man who went so far as to elope with my mother and raise me...
Lady Berah Ronah, please.
Your father is waiting for you.
The battle outside is as you see it. Things have yet to settle down, but it's good of you...
Berah !
You should remember this voice. It's me, Karozo !
If you are, then please take off that mask.
I'm a pitiful man who has lost his wife to that Theo.
Further, I have sworn to make your grandfather's ideal into a reality.
Since then...I have started fighting against my tender side.
Your way of talking is certainly my father's stubborness.
But, why don't you accept the fact that Mother had no choice...
...but to leave you, since she couldn't stand your personality ?
It seems you've heard and learned a lot from Nadia.
But I don't plan to remain like this forever.
For instance, I forgave Theo...
...and have even met with you while carrying an unbearable amount of shame.
Is that why you need the mask ?
That's right.
Until the construction of Cosmo Babylonia is complete...
...I have sworn not to remove this mask. Forgive me.
Cosmo Babylonia ? What's that ?
The goal of the Ronah House is the eternal survival of mankind.
A thousand-year old dream...
Dream ?
It's been 10 years. Your grandfather also wants to see you. I'll take you to him.
Is he here in Frontier IV ?
This colony is no longer Frontier IV. It's Babylon. We're in Cosmo Babylon.
The reason I called for you...
...is that until Cosmo Babylonia is completed, I want you to be our queen.
Queen ?
The public always demands an idol...
...and since you lived as a commoner and had a taste of that life, the public will accept you.
What ? Such an important role...
I don't think I can do it.
I guess I got impatient. Forgive me, Berah...
Grandfather...
Please forgive my selfishness.
You can't deny that if someone was sitting here, they would've died.
There was a huge battle here.
We lost two Mobile Suits. The air is leaking out of the colony.
Please hurry.
I understand...
Seabook... What should I do ?
Have we forced the Frontier fleet into their transport route ?
Yes, it's only a matter of time...
Correct. Our next job is to clean up the inside of the colony.
This is White Fox. Launching !
Right. We've come this far, don't die on me now.
Of course not !
When you're near the colony don't shoot the main engines.
This colony will become the basis for Cosmo Babylonia.
Yes, sir !
And the people in the colony...
Try not to hurt them. Our only enemy is the Earth Federation Fleet.
Here it comes !
C...Captain !
Run everyone !
Potatoes...
What's wrong ?
What ?
It's an Earth Federation ship !
What's happening ?
Idiots ! There's gravity here !
If you keep it up...
Alfred ! Hang on !
Right !
Damn you...
Nice landing.
If we stay like this before we even start fighting the Crossbone Vanguard...
...we'll be destroyed !
I hate to disagree with you, but all the pilots are out fighting.
We were the only ones left to bring this ship to Frontier I.
That's why I said we'll make this training ship into a base for defense.
The enemy will come soon.
Make the F-91 useable, too. Got it ?
Where are you going ?
I'll gather the resistance members...
What're you guys doing ?~~Fight for the Space Ark if you have time to flee.
We're just kids.
If you can control this boat, you can fight. Now go !
Hey, I want to go down, not up !
Here...
All right !
A...all right.
Leah, let go !
Pull !
Thanks.
No prob. Dorothy's fast with her hands.
It's just luck...
But, can we hide the boat with only this ?
This'll look like a rock or a mountain from far away.
I see.
Close up the place after you eat. We're working inside, so don't let any light out.
Yes, sir ! Roger !
Yes, sir. Whatever Nanto says, it's done.
Don't play around. At least discipline the children.
They're not mine.
That was delicious.
Seabook, if the wound's closed, you don't need your arm in a sling.
It still hurts a little.
You're not going to die.
Deputy-Captain Leahlee. The screen's on.
She's tired because she joined us and is taking care of housework.
It's from Earth.
Yeah, the Governor's taking a vacation.
Isn't the frontier side a new resident colony ? Its people are like two quarreling drunkards...
We can only wait and see.
What ? If that's a formal view...
They think the Crossbone Vanguard is joking ?
There's info saying an army attacked the colony...
I've always wondered why our colony town's architecture was so classic.
But ever since the Crossbone Vanguard arrived I think I understand.
What do you mean ?
Aren't parties in the Federation Government or the colony's public corporation...
...conspiring with the Crossbone Vanguard ?
You could say that.
She's a babe !
Brother, take this to Gruce. He's working on the Mobile Suit.
I brought your dinner, Gruce.
Put it over there.
Have you heard the Earth broadcast ?
The Earth government knows the Crossbones won't attack Earth.
In the substituted third lesson...
What's that ?
It's the equipment manual.
Is this it ?
Yeah. The F-91's a prototype, so I gotta start all over to get it ready to fight.
You only have word processors and handwritten manuals ?
Not all of the pages are here.
Please show it to me at normal speed.
What is it ?
That's my mom.
Dr. Arno ?
Yeah.
She said she was leaving to research biocomputers.
She was really developing Mobile Suits.
Here it is.
Hey, since you're related, I wonder if you understand what she's talking about ?
There's no reason why I should understand such complicated things.
Please, don't tell my sister about this.
Close the shutters ! All hands to the battle bridge.
All Mobile Suits, I ask of you, rotate 30 degrees down.
The Crossbone Vanguard's leader will be in the government offices or the reception hall.
Attack those areas !
Thousands of refugees are expected to camp within that perimeter !
They're fools if they think this war ended with so few casualties.
An attack !
Are they aiming for the reception hall ?
Lady Berah Ronah !
Turn off the lights. It's dawn already.
Yes, Ma'am.
An attack from space.
How's the inside of the building ?
Everything's alright !
We should stay away from the Ronah Family.
Mommy ! Mommy !
Let's wait out front. The Federation may attack this place.
Your Majesty !
Grandfather...
You haven't prepared for escape. You should hurry, Berah.
In an attack like this, there may not be time to prepare to escape. So...
Do you trust in fate ?
Yes, it's also a time when one can foresee their luck in life. The next flash may occur here.
Both our bodies may be vaporized. In that case, please forgive me, Berah.
I'm not worried.
I'm used to situations like this since my Mom left the Ronah Family.
I'm relieved to hear that.
When we made the surprise attack on this colony...
...I would not let the Crossbone Vanguard hurt citizens.
But the Federation does this.
It's a true depiction of an army under an absolute democracy.
Without justice, they just follow other's opinions when they see change before them.
So it will result in a civilian rebellion ?
Yes, it will.
The people were paying for what they did to nature on Earth by living in space.
However, people began to go back to Earth as life in space became ordinary.
Only the top members of the Federation Government are allowed to go back...
...while the citizens aren't allowed to return to Earth.
You're not cold, are you ?
No.
It's quiet.
Yes, the Crossbone Vanguard, formed by your father, Karozo, is a great thing.
By my father...?
However, a lot of time is needed to regenerate the Earth.
From now on, people have to make families in space forever.
Of...of course...
Despite that, it's been a long time since the people who returned to Earth...
...have executed the ``Policy of Discarding People...''
...which rejects people who've stayed in space.
But Grandfather, the noble ideals you talk about also produce discrimination, right ?
Nobles have obligations they must honor.
I know.
For example, on the battleground the general mass runs away when they're afraid.
But men of high reputation, the nobility...
...have to stand on the battlefield without fear of spilling their own blood.
People aren't equal.
Human rights are equality, but people aren't the same.
And so, the world and the people should be ruled by nobles...
...who aren't afraid to shed their own blood.
You've told me these things many times when I was young.
But Mother was crushed by those principles.
I was too strict with Nadia. So she ran to the heretical side of the nobility.
I'm her daughter.
