Eating again?
Yeah.
Is that any good?
Here.
No, I do not want any.
Now...
Raise your flag
With all your voice With all your voice
Shout it out loud with all your voice
One day Someday somewhere
Dream on as we wander
Under pressure you are waiting for direction
Going on the road without your mind
All misleads they give ignoring our decisions
Killing yourself your soul we have inside
Continue the struggle and feel like you're discouraged
Rise up again to run to the end
In between the never-ending dream
We can struggle and muzzle the world before it fades away
Raise your flag
With all your voice With all your voice
Shout it out loud with all your voice
One day Someday somewhere
Believing that we will reach that goal
Come on and raise your flag So just raise your flag
No matter how many times we feel defeated or lost
As long as we breathe As long as we carry on
Dream on as we wander
Okay, next carry this out to everyone please.
Will do!
Be careful.
- Yes. - You worry too much, Biscuit.
Thank you, Atra.
Everyone is really happy.
It's much better to have warm food than cold rations.
But what a surprise.
I didn't know Kudelia was with you.
Yes. When we told Kudelia that we were preparing a meal,
she asked if she could help.
No, that's wrong.
When cutting vegetables, make cat paws.
- Like this? - No.
That is a dog's paw.
Like this.
Like this?
I see. We should be grateful.
Biscuit.
Yeah, I'm coming now.
Hurry.
I know.
Here you go.
Hey, this isn't chunky enough.
Put your fatty butt meat in there.
H-Here you go.
Direct from the Young Miss.
Miss, give me some too.
Mikazuki.
Where are you going?
Just somewhere.
Here. You have not eaten, right?
They're so big.
Kudelia cut these up.
I see. Then I should try some.
Don't eat that.
Why?
I said I'll take responsibility and eat this later.
Really?
Yes, it's not something I can serve to someone.
So I will eat it.
Yes.
Big pieces are better. I feel like I'm really eating.
Well I am glad to hear that.
What's wrong, Kudelia?
Are you blushing?
- No, I'm not. - A fever?
What's wrong?
It's nothing.
Mikazuki, huh.
You're not going with him?
Today, I'm going home now.
I'm imposing on the manager as well.
And...
Mikazuki seems to be a bit touchy.
You think so? He doesn't look any different.
But I can tell that he's a bit different.
What is it?
I want to ask a favor of you, Mr. Yukinojo.
- Huh? - Well...
What's going on?
Good morning.
How did the meal with the sedatives taste?
Sedatives?
You brats. What are you doing?
Well, I just want to make things clear.
Who's number one around here.
What?
Brats. Who do you think you're dealing with?
Incompetents who can't give proper orders and caused this much damage.
Don't fool with me.
I got it.
Just take these off. Then I'll spare you your lives.
What?
Don't you understand the situation?
Who's the one that can say that? You or me?
Due to your incompetent command, our comrades needlessly died.
We will have you pay for that.
Huh!?
Wait. What...
Now...
CGS now belongs to us.
Now choose.
Whether to keep working under us space rats,
or get out of here.
Darn you.
If you don't want either, we can end it right here like him.
Excuse me...
I choose to get out of here.
You are Dexter Culastor in charge of accounting, right?
We're going to have you stay a bit.
What?
Hey, Orga.
You gave severance pay to the First Corps guys who quit? Why did...!?
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
You guys are quitting too?
Stop it.
But...
You need to pay a proper wage for any work.
These guys did well.
Then how about First Corps?
Who knows what they'll do after leaving here.
Our reputation mustn't be damaged.
We'll only be doing honest jobs.
Reputation? Honest? Don't joke around.
How can you say that?
Come on, it's not good to fight.
People have different opinions,
but let's work together from now on. Right?
That means...
Yes, I've decided to stay.
Look forward to working with you, comrades.
Seriously?
So you are staying, old man.
Well yes, I've gotten old.
Looking after kids is just right for me.
Seems like you have few friends.
You probably can't work any place else.
You know me well.
Hey. Is Mikazuki over here?
No. He's not here.
I see.
What are you doing here?
Well...
Mikazuki really is amazing.
What?
Controlling that big thing like it was a part of his own body.
He must have done much training.
No, that was his first time.
What? And he was able to fight that fierce battle?
Well, they say that the Alaya-Vijnana System
was originally created for Mobile Suits.
It must be easier to operate intuitively than a Mobile Worker.
But rather than that, what are you going to do now?
I can't go back to my father.
Then what will you do?
I don't know.
I thought there was something I could do.
In the past tense?
No, my feelings haven't changed.
But to accomplish that...
There may be a possibility that the innocent will be sacrificed.
You think you're responsible for our comrades' deaths?
Because of one mere person like you?
I'm just angry at myself.
Over how powerless I really am.
"GLORIOUS DEMISE" Over how powerless I really am.
Of the remaining assets,
looks like Maruba took out most of the cash.
Adding what we picked up in the battle,
and calculating the amount that we're to receive into the budget...
I've never seen so much money.
Idiot, companies usually have this much.
No.
From that we subtract the severance pay,
Mobile Worker repair, and maintenance costs.
After we take away all that...
it becomes this.
What can we do with this?
Even if we eke out...
3 months would be the limit to stay in business.
We have to find work immediately or we won't be able to go on.
But with our current situation, people will take advantage of us.
Hey, have you guys forgotten?
What?
You made a total mess out of the Gjallarhorn.
This place is already their target.
W-We did hit them quite hard.
That's a much bigger problem.
So then. I have one idea.
Huh?
The reason they attacked is because of the cargo, Kudelia, right?
So what?
We contact Gjallarhorn from our side, and exchange the Young MIss for money.
What?
If we blame it all on Maruba, it can work.
- We were just following orders. - What do you mean?
You understand this, right, boss?
That our business can't take off as long as Kudelia is with us.
Orga, why are you hesitating?
This is our only way.
Gjallarhorn again?
Report from the lookout. One Gjallarhorn Mobile Suit.
It's holding a red cloth and heading this way.
And so, what's that?
That is a challenge for a duel.
A duel?
I am Crank Zent of Gjallarhorn's Front Line Troops.
I wish to fight one on one with your representative.
Is he serious about fighting?
Apparently before the Calamity War, most troubles were settled by a duel.
Who would have thought someone would seriously do it?
If I win, I demand that the captured Graze,
and Kudelia Aina Bernstein be handed over to us.
The Young Miss?
See what I told you?
Their target is the Young Miss.
Once the duel is settled and we receive the Graze and Kudelia,
I will take care of everything from then on.
I promise to end the grudge between Gjallarhorn and CGS here and now.
What kind of condition is that?
Even if we lose, he'll only take her and make them leave us alone?
But what happens to Kudelia then?
I will go.
There is no need to fight.
Everything is okay if I go, right?
Meaningless battles should be avoided.
That's right. How about you negotiate for some money too?
We don't know what will happen.
That's right.
They tried to kill you.
Many people have already died.
And I do not plan on just dying.
I will do my best to have them hear me.
That's impossible.
Well, she is saying so herself.
The Young Miss is a smooth-talker too.
I'm not doing that.
We can't tell how honest that man's words are.
I just can't easily believe him.
- Mika. - What?
Can you do it?
Okay.
Hey, what's he going to do?
You know what I meant.
He's going to kill that man.
Sorry to make you wait.
We humbly accept your challenge.
Thank you.
System optimization should have eased the shock, but don't push it.
If I use that so-called Alaya-Vijnana System,
will I be able to control that as I want?
Then I can at least be of some help to everyone.
Don't do it.
We were just lucky.
What?
10 kids, including Mika and I, had the surgery at the same time.
It failed on 4 of them, and they were hospitalized.
They probably still can't get out of bed.
If they're still alive, that is.
Mika has had it 3 times...
the surgery that is so risky.
And of course, of his own free will.
We're counting on you, Mika.
Gjallarhorn Mars Branch Front Line Troops.
Crank Zent.
What? Well...
CGS Third Group.
Mikazuki Augus.
Here I come.
How do we decide the winner?
Until one dies?
There's no need for that.
What Coral... No.
What we initially wanted was only Kudelia's life.
Children should not be victimized for adult strifes.
You've killed so many...
Forget it.
I was told by Orga.
To kill you.
Mika knows that he has to be strong in order to live.
But why get such dangerous surgery?
He's boorish yet honorable.
He's full of contradictions.
But that is why he is strong.
Mikazuki really is amazing.
Will I be able to fight like him?
You...
I don't want to have the surgery anymore.
I know that there is a different place for me to fight.
He's really a kid?
Let me tell you.
I've never been victimized for anything.
I am just doing what I can for me and my comrades.
And right now, you're in my way.
Tekkadan.
What?
Our new name.
To call ourselves a rotten name like CGS just irritates me.
Tekka...
As in "iron fire"?
No.
"Iron flower."
The iron flower that never wilts.
You really are a child...
Hey, what happens if I win?
You didn't mention that.
I didn't like that.
I'm sorry.
It wasn't that I underestimated you.
I just didn't have that option.
That's all.
I disobeyed a superior officer's orders.
If I go back with negative results,
my actions will reflect poorly on all the troops.
But if I can end my life here,
I will carry all the responsibility with me...
Don't talk anymore.
I'm sorry, but can you lend me a hand?
I can't even end my own life right now.
Thank...
You've done it now, Mikazuki.
What?
Yes, what are we going to do?
Gjallarhorn is totally our enemy now.
Who cares? He won.
That's not the issue.
If we had negotiated well, we might have made some money.
- Excuse me. - What?
What do you want?
My...
My escort. Please continue that duty.
What?
Then you will have enough money to stay in business for now.
Miss?
You do not need my father's approval.
I know someone who can provide the funds.
Someone?
Someone who supported me as a sponsor in the independence movement.
Nobliss Gordon.
- Nobliss? - Who's that?
I've heard the name.
He's apparently a super rich man.
Then we can financially rest easy.
Yes. And we have Mikazuki and the Mobile Suits with us.
Gjallarhorn doesn't scare us.
Right.
That's being too optimistic.
Thank you for the continued employment.
We Tekkadan will make sure we deliver you to Earth safely.
Yes, I'm counting on you.
Orga, hold on.
Wait, what's "Tekkadan"?
Our name.
I just decided.
- What? - That's so cool.
You can't decide that by yourself!
It's good, right, Mikazuki?
I like it.
You have to be more careful.
You're so picky. You'll go bald.
- Wait, why a flower? - A new name is great!
Orphans, tears
Because love carries sadness
and makes you stronger
You're on my mind
Can you hear it?
The blues that space sings
Ah... In the blue light
glowing in the darkness,
hide your loneliness
What do the strong
see in pieces of dreams?
Orphans, to space
We will set sail on the ship called hope
You're on my mind
This fleeting moment The blues that space sings
Tekkadan? No way.
I would come up with a cooler name.
Hyper something... Or ecstasy...
Ecstasy?
Justice...
Justice! That sounds perfect.
This is it. Right, Orga?
