Now.
Go ahead, Eugene.
No need to tell me.
Stop it, my ship...
Stop it.
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
What's going on?
Don't force yourself and rest, Gaelio.
I told you it was only a scratch.
How are we going to pursue them?
As soon as we're ready, I'll go too.
This time I'll get that twerp.
- We won't pursue. - What?
Calm down.
Because of Coral's death, there's too much work.
We can't act right away.
But, are we going to leave them alone?
No. From the package they sent,
I can be certain Kudelia Aina Bernstein's aboard that ship.
If that's so, they'll be on the route to Earth soon.
We'll see them again.
Well? Is there a ship chasing us?
There's no Ahab Wave reaction.
There's currently no report from our patrols.
We're saved.
Though we have to stay on guard.
Gosh, they don't let us take it easy.
Old man. Is the armor reinforcement same as the Mobile Worker?
Are you stupid?
Mobile Suits are with a Nanolaminate Armor, so they're totally different!
What should I do then?
Just hold on a second.
Geez, no helpful records left.
Old man.
- Check around the reactor... - I said wait.
I'm a Mobile Worker specialist,
and haven't touched Mobile Suits since I was a kid.
This Mobile Suit was made a long time ago, right?
Yeah, more than a long time ago.
An antique from the Calamity War.
Although most Mobile Suits other than the Gjallarhorn ones are antiques.
What's the Calamity War?
A massive war that happened on Earth 300 years ago.
A great amount of Mobile Suits that could have destroyed Earth
got into huge battles.
A Gundam Frame?
Right.
Prominent at the end of the Calamity War,
it was one of the 72 machines called Gundam.
The individual name was Barbatos.
Gundam...
I've heard about it, but are you sure?
I'm checking the reactor pattern.
It has 2 Ahab Reactors specially designed for that machine.
That is its main characteristic.
Such an old Mobile Suit put up a good fight against us.
It might be the pilot, rather than the machine.
Don't worry.
During the Calamity War, the Alaya-Vijnana System
was developed to maximize the abilities of the Mobile Suits, apparently.
Space rats, huh...
What a great appetite.
I get really hungry after work.
Will things like that happen again?
Probably. There are those coming after Kudelia.
Aren't you scared, Mikazuki?
- Not really. - Why not?
I mean, you might die...
It's alright.
I have this.
Sure.
So about what we should do from here on.
Orcus was no good, so we have to find another guide.
So, is a guide absolutely necessary?
Of course it is.
If you want to get to Earth safely.
Since we're at strife with Gjallarhorn, a normal guide won't do.
We need someone we could ask to even take care of those on Mars,
someone strong to watch our backs.
Watch our backs, huh...
But who could...
Teiwaz.
- That's the only one. - No way.
Teiwaz.
A conglomerate based around the Jupiter Sphere.
I've heard rumors they're really a mafia.
We're after that true identity.
Teiwaz indeed has some influence on Earth,
and Gjallarhorn won't be able to attack so easily.
But how are we going to negotiate with Teiwaz?
That's right.
Will that Teiwaz readily support such kids like us?
If only we had a connection.
As it is, we can't go to Earth nor return to Mars.
We have no other choice but to head to Jupiter.
I'll think of how to negotiate,
but we can take a chance and talk straight.
That's impossible.
Amazing. How did you do it?
What's wrong?
I was trying to contact those on Mars,
and she connected me easily.
Fumitan?
I used the Ariadne that Gjallarhorn controls.
Ariadne?
What's that?
Even under Ahab Wave influence where the radar does not work,
the Ariadne shows the correct path for the ship.
By using the cocoons that compose it as relay points,
long distance communication is possible.
Won't Gjallarhorn find out?
The communication is encrypted, so it shouldn't be an issue.
There's such a way?
Would you like me to help from now on?
With the approval of the Young Miss.
Yes, of course.
It's decided, then. Please help us as a communications operator.
Understood, sir.
I look forward to it. What's your name?
Fumitan Admoss.
I see, I never knew your name.
Miss Kudelia.
What are you doing?
I just discussed what we should do from here on with the boss and others.
I see.
Why did you not participate?
Well...
I don't like dealing with difficult things. I wouldn't understand it anyway.
But...
What's that?
Lunch boxes.
We're delivering them to those working.
I see.
- See you. - Take me.
Can you please let me help you?
What?
Everyone. Great job.
It's lunch time.
- Here. - Thank you.
It's okay, there's more.
- Here. - Thanks, Miss.
Akihiro, it's lunch time.
Leave it there.
Then I'll leave it here.
Mikazuki.
Let's train with the simulator after this.
Okay.
So we're going to that Teiwaz person?
Wasn't Teiwaz a company and not a person?
Yes, but...
There's no one to mediate, so it's not going to be so easy.
I see.
I see? Are you not interested?
It's very important.
Not really. Orga will make sure everything is fine.
I don't know why you're going to Earth in the first place.
What? We're going to Earth?
Didn't I tell you?
Well, no. But what should I do?
I don't have any fashionable clothes.
You'll be fine with that.
But we're going to Earth, right?
Won't they think I'm a country girl?
The reason I'm going to Earth is to win the freedom of the Martian people.
In the Calamity War 300 years ago, the subdivided nations of Earth
were united into 4 economic blocs. Did you know that?
No.
Oh, I see...
Following that, the Outer Spheres like Mars and Jupiter,
were divided among the economic blocs and governed by them.
The Chryse Autonomous Region came under Arbrau, one of the economic blocs.
But with the unfair Trans-Planetary Economic Pact from the pioneer days,
people were unjustly exploited for many years there.
To reform this, I've been negotiating with the Arbrau government of Earth.
And the other day, Togonosuke Makanai, the leader of Arbrau,
agreed for the first time to hold talks on this issue.
My aim is to win economic independence for Mars.
I believe that it will lead to the happiness of all Martian people.
That's amazing, Miss Kudelia.
I see. So you're the one who's going to make us happy?
What?
Yes, that's my intention.
It's been damaged so much.
I'm surprised he came back.
Stop chatting and move your hands.
Yes.
Thank you for your work. It's lunch time.
Okay, thanks.
Hey, let's eat when you're good to stop for a bit.
- Yes, sir. - Wow, lunch!
Don't panic.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Do you want me to help here?
Yeah, when we do heavy lifting.
We're doing some fine tuning right now.
You can't read, right?
Okay, I got it.
Mikazuki, you don't know how to read?
Nuh.
"Nuh." I mean, you operate this really complicated looking machine.
It's not like I move it by reading.
It's like a Mobile Worker, and the rest is instinct.
Instinct?
Is it that surprising?
Did you not go to school?
I didn't go. I think the ones who went are a minority here.
Well, many of them here were desperate just to survive.
There are some from slightly better facilities who learned a bit.
Is that so.
I finished the deliveries.
Do you know how to read, Atra?
Yes, the shop keeper taught me.
Mikazuki, would you like to learn how to read and write?
What?
I will teach you.
If you can read and write, it will be useful from now on.
By reading books or writing letters and essays,
you can expand your own world.
I see. So I'll be able to read different types of books.
Yes, that's right.
Maybe I'll give it a try.
Don't leave me out.
I want to read and write too.
Can I join you?
Me too.
Same here, teacher.
A teacher?
Yes, if you're fine with me, let's study together.
Awesome.
Wow, studying!
Such good boys.
Okay, I'll teach as well, so ask me anything.
You, Atra?
I prefer Miss Kudelia.
What do you mean?
Me too.
I can do it too.
"AS FOR THEM"
A connection, huh...
Can I help you with something?
Uh, well...
Can you take care of here for a minute?
What? I don't mind.
Sorry, I'll be right back.
I see, so Coral has died.
He was such a useless man.
But those kids are quite amazing.
The Young Knights protecting the Young Miss.
This might be interesting.
Are you Second Lieutenant Ein Dalton?
Yes sir.
We know that you engaged a civilian organization outside Chryse.
Your company planned to defeat them with your overwhelming power,
but that plan went wrong.
Was that due to the Mobile Suit of the enemy?
Yes sir.
I want to hear your honest impression.
How was his fighting?
At first, I was surprised a civilian organization had a Mobile Suit.
But as the battle began, it turned into a different surprise.
What sort of surprise?
It was something I never experienced in training.
The mobility, the reaction speed.
We were shaken up by their tactic using those factors, and we...
I see.
I understand.
Thank you. You're dismissed.
Specialist Major, sir, I have a favor to ask.
What?
Because I wasn't good enough, I lost my superior officers.
I can't return to Mars like this.
I request permission to join the pursuit force.
Please, sir.
I understand your feelings. I'll think about it.
Thank you, sir.
I'll give orders later. You can go now.
Yes sir.
Gundam, huh...
First, let's learn to write your name correctly.
Carefully and neatly.
Miss Kudelia, look at my writing.
Me too.
Did I do it correctly?
Let's see.
Yes, you both are very good.
We did it!
Mikazuki, those letters are flipped.
This. And this one too.
What?
I see. I knew there was something wrong.
Mr. Mikazuki, you're amazing at work, but your handwriting is bad.
I might beat Mr. Mikazuki with my handwriting.
Embi, Elgar, stop talking and practice seriously.
- Okay. - I know.
It's not like when the adults were here.
We have to contribute to Tekkadan from now on too.
Yes.
He's strict.
Takaki is the leader of the younger children.
He's doing his best so he can catch up to us.
Isn't "zu" spelled "du"?
But it's pronounced like "zu."
Orga?
- Let's hurry. - Yes.
Hey, look where you're going.
Sorry, boss.
Yeah, just be careful from now.
- Yes. - Sorry sir.
- Watch it. - Shut up.
Orga.
Without a connection,
I think it's impossible to negotiate with Teiwaz.
What should we do?
I don't know, but we should think carefully to find the best way.
I did think about it.
I thought over and over, but I can't find a better way.
Honestly, I think this job is too much of a burden for the current Tekkadan.
We don't have any work experience.
So what?
We give up escorting Kudelia and hand her over to Gjallarhorn?
We can't do that.
For example, we can subcontract another company to do it.
No. As long as we've committed, we have to move forward.
Aren't you rushing things, Orga?
What?
I feel like you're taking the dangerous path on purpose.
Maybe.
Why?
Why are you so stuck on moving forward?
- Because I'm being watched. - What?
Every time I turn around, his eyes are there.
Him?
Mika is amazing.
He's strong, cool, and has courage.
He mastered a Mobile Suit in his first battle, and now reads and writes.
And Mika's eyes ask me.
"Orga, what are we doing next?"
"What should I do next?"
"What exciting thing are you going to show me next?"
Like that.
I can't betray those eyes.
In his eyes, I must always be the boldest,
and have to be the coolest Orga Itsuka.
We head to the Teiwaz headquarters. No changes.
So you were here.
Mika.
You were watching before.
So you knew.
Why did you start learning how to read and write all of a sudden?
Because Kudelia said she'll teach us.
With Takaki and the others.
If I can't read and write, I can't help with Mobile Suit maintenance.
And I can't do it now, but some day I want to read all sorts of books,
and study about vegetables.
You told me once.
That you want to run a farm like Biscuit's grandmother.
Yes.
Aren't you tired, Orga?
This is nothing.
Aren't you tired yourself from the battle the other day?
I'm fine.
That's good then.
Earth certainly is far away.
But you've decided to go.
Yeah.
The die has been cast.
Now we'll just get going to the bitter end. Right?
Right.
We finally found our place.
Everyone's lives and futures depend on Tekkadan right now.
Hey, Miss Kudelia, are these letters correct?
Oh... Yes, well this is different here...
Alaya-Vijnana System.
Even for such a small child.
Oh, isn't it cool?
Yes.
I can do all sorts of work with this.
It hurts, but maybe I'll have it done again.
What? Absolutely not for me! It was so painful.
- You're a coward, Elgar. - What?
If you can't take the pain, you won't be like Mr. Mikazuka.
This is the reality for these kids...
We have to protect her.
Yes.
You really don't change.
How about you?
Me?
I am who I am.
Yeah.
Let's make your dream come true.
Let's succeed on this job and make Tekkadan big.
Yeah.
What?
What happened?
A stop signal from another ship.
Another ship? Their position?
Unknown, sir.
Isn't it Gjallarhorn?
I don't know. Where is it from?
You twerps. Give me back my ship.
President?
Maruba Arkay?
You thieving rats!
Give back my Will-O'-the-Wisp now.
Why him?
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'll set sail on the ship called hope
You're on my mind.
This fleeting moment The blues that space sings
When I first met Maruba, we were both young,
and he wasn't such a jerk.
He likes dogs.
He took in two puppies.
I think their names were Ken-Ken and Wan-Wan.
I guess nobody wants to hear about Maruba's past.
