My legs are going to rust.
So this is Earth.
We're really here.
Shut up, Shino. Be on the lookout.
Gjallarhorn already knows our position.
It's salty. Why is this water so salty?
You're so lame, Ride.
Shut up.
What about your Mobile Suit, Mikazuki?
I'm told not to move Barbatos until it's serviced.
I see.
We're now able to see it.
Yeah.
Is that it?
That has the same name as Mikazuki?
Right.
I see.
We've really arrived.
On Earth.
We're really here.
Alright.
Boss.
Hey, who is that?
Well, this man says he wants to talk to you.
What?
So you're the group called Tekkadan.
The present has come after twists and turns
It has overlapped with the future
We are the last survivors
It looks like it might work out
A disguised ideal thought
Please do something about it
Armed ambition and hope
Those people like machines...
Find your place before you're controlled by them
The present has come after twists and turns
It has overlapped with the future
We'll hold hands, crawl on the ground, and rise up against it
The present has come after twists and turns
The wish that has been shot to the sky
We cannot lose
The dream that came true...
We will protect it
We are the last survivors
We are doing everything we can.
But most organs are not functioning, and necrosis is...
I told you.
Just get him back to normal.
But, if you want to prolong his life, some form of cybernetic...
Don't be stupid.
You'll make him a mechanical monster?
I don't want to either, but...
No excuses. Get him back to normal.
To a body that can fight again.
A body that can avenge his superiors.
Impossible...
I can't let him die like this.
I can't let him die because of me.
It's amazing.
Everything is blue. The sea and the sky.
I've never seen such a big cloud.
But doesn't the sea smell? And my body gets all sticky.
Chryse is much more of a city.
Maybe it's just this place.
You know, I want to go somewhere really fancy.
But it's good, to relax like this once in a while.
Boring.
But this is the end of our job, right?
I wonder if we'll get a bonus.
If the negotiations end well, we might become superstars back on Mars.
We'll get a big welcome and get lots of chicks.
If we get back safely...
Darn it, you're no fun...
Stop babbling and get to work.
I am working!
The thrusters we added are no good now.
The other parts can be covered by ones we got from that company.
I was doing it on Mars, so I can manage.
But the mobility...
We'll help too.
Are you guys done?
We'd already set up Rouei for land use.
And there's a certain set up we want to try on Barbatos.
Set up?
It occurred to me when I was working on Rebake.
It'd suit Mikazuki more than the muscle boy.
Huh? Got an Earth cold?
Excuse me.
Master Makanai asked me to give you this.
What is it?
Can I see?
What is this?
What is it?
Go away.
Wow. Isn't this a flounder?
Yes, it looks delicious.
Isn't it a sole?
What? Is that something you can eat?
No way...
Can you really eat that?
Please excuse me.
Thank you.
What?
No. I'll go now.
What?
Your backs look gross to him.
There's no one on Earth who has an Alaya-Vijnana.
I see.
My legs are the same thing on this planet.
They just can't accept it.
As long as memories of the Calamity War remain.
Alaya-Vijnana?
Ridiculous! You want to turn Ein into a monster?
"Humans must be natural."
That's a value Gjallarhorn spread intentionally.
Fearing the technologies advanced
through the Calamity War will be used as a tool against them.
So what?
Don't you want to save Ein?
Of course. He saved me and...
No, not only that.
I want to help him realize his wish to avenge his superiors.
That's why I'm saying the Alaya-Vijnana is the best way.
Why? Why the Alaya-Vijnana?
I'll tell you.
The true strength of the Alaya-Vijnana.
Yes. Everyone has arrived here now.
Yes.
It's alright.
We've come this far. The negotiation will go well.
Yes.
I'm not so sure.
If it's a simple matter, it could've been done yesterday.
Maybe they were considerate because we looked tired.
In any case, it all depends on you now.
Good luck.
Yes.
Sorry for the wait. This way please.
Delicious.
Seriously?
No way. This is definitely not food.
It's glaring at us.
Go first.
No, you go first.
Don't hold back.
Mikazuki, you could at least take a bite.
Everyone from the Turbines helped me and it was really hard.
Oh yeah?
Forget it.
I don't know, but it has this complex flavor.
- No way. - It's true.
I'm going to brag about it back on Mars, that I had this.
We're going back to Mars after Miss Kudelia is done, right?
Yeah.
She'll be given all the limelight when we get back to Mars.
Feels like she'll become someone we can hardly talk to.
Well, thank you very much for coming all this way.
I'm Togonosuke Makanai.
I was waiting for you, for a long time.
- Are you hungry? - Mr. Makanai.
We actually don't have much time.
Don't worry about Gjallarhorn.
They won't come here.
How can you be so sure about that?
Do you know which jurisdiction this island belongs to?
That's...
The Oceanian Federation, yes?
Even Gjallarhorn would need approval of the Federation to enter.
Is that correct?
Absolutely right.
You're beautiful as well as very smart.
How wonderful.
No, not at all.
But there's no reason for the Oceanian Federation to harbor us.
But there actually is.
Rather...
They're so grateful that they'd give you an award.
Grateful?
It went well.
The reforms in the Dorts.
It can be called a success.
It seems they obtained equal conditions to those on Earth.
Is that so?
So their wishes came true...
And it was your actions that triggered the whole thing.
Our actions?
Yes.
I don't know what will happen from now,
but productivity in the Dorts will drop temporarily.
It might hurt the African Union,
but for the other economic blocs, it's a great boon.
You're the benefactor who caused this.
The Oceanian Federation will never sell you to Gjallarhorn.
This is great. It's indeed a delight.
And what was it again? The reason you guys came here.
About deregulation of Martian half-metal by Arbrau.
Yes, that's right.
That's something that I have always wanted to realize as well.
- Then... - But.
Right now it's impossible.
Impossible? Why?
I fell from power and am currently in exile.
What?
So...
In other words, I currently have no power over anything.
Wait a minute.
- So we... - Orga.
We came all this way just to meet an old man with no power?
Boss...
So...
So what we have been doing was meaningless?
I'm not saying that.
There are still ways left...
...of turning things around.
"BROTHER" ...of turning things around.
"BROTHER"
A plenary session of parliament?
Yes. There apparently is an election for the prime minister of Arbrau soon.
He wants us to take him to the meeting before that.
That was Mr. Makanai's request.
If he can go, he'll be elected again?
- What stinks, Atra? - Be quiet.
He's confident.
Then just take him there.
No way.
Mr. Makanai has been exiled from Arbrau.
He will not be welcome.
And it's said his rival Henri Fleurs has the support of Gjallarhorn.
So if we accept, we'll have to fight Gjallarhorn head on.
That's not the only annoying thing.
I understand.
Let us go back and discuss...
Go back?
Not good. That's not good enough.
Aren't you making a slight misunderstanding?
A misunderstanding?
How do you plan on getting back to Mars?
Where is your method of going back?
Please wait. Why are you saying this?
I told you.
The Oceanian Federation is making sure no one will sell you out to Gjallarhorn.
But you know...
I can change that at my own discretion.
Threatening us?
It's not a threat.
Well, whatever.
Take your time to think it over so you make the right choice.
How dare he make a fool of us.
So what now?
There's no need to be swayed by Mr. Makanai.
Miss Kudelia...
Well...
I was able to come this far because you all helped me.
In regards to that, I cannot thank you enough.
But Miss Kudelia, that was our job.
That's right.
And at this point, the job I requested is done.
So from this point on, it's my job.
So everyone, do what you must do.
Please follow your own path.
Our own paths, huh?
Boss! We're receiving a QCCS call.
Hey, it's me. Can you hear me?
- Eugene. - You were safe.
Yeah. Chad and Dante are fine too.
You really are tough.
Of course. We're currently being harbored by the Oceanian Federation.
The Turbines too.
Oceanian Federation?
Yeah. It's amazing, Orga.
We're treated like heroes here.
Because we struck a big blow to Gjallarhorn.
We're awesome!
Heroes, huh.
I'm so glad you were safe.
Idiots. You should've called earlier.
You don't know what we had to go through.
And Mr. Naze wanted to know what was going on down there.
I got it.
Tell Bro I want to discuss something, too.
Understood.
And one more thing.
Can I talk to you, Biscuit?
I see.
He's a crafty old fox after all. It won't be easy with him.
And what are you planning to do?
The risk is probably the same either way.
But isn't Mr. McMurdo expecting Kudelia's negotiation with Makanai to go well?
Orga.
You don't need to feel obligated to the Old Man.
You've done enough and repaid him.
And also, for the Old Man,
this is just another one of his gambles.
You don't need to consider his feelings.
I want to know your thoughts without those ties.
Which choice you really want to take.
I'm thinking of taking on Makanai's request.
Even if that endangers your family?
Either way, we can't go back to Mars like this.
Well, suppose we're back on Mars, we might be a bit famous,
and be able to find work for a while.
But that will only be temporary.
Bro.
We're still nobodies.
I want for us...
to get bigger.
Do what you want, Brother.
Whatever path you choose, I'll help you as a brother.
Oh, are Lafter and the others well?
Yes, they're doing great. I'll get them now.
Eco.
You got a call from Naze.
Really? Wait up.
What did you talk about?
Well, just a little something.
Biscuit, I've decided.
I'm taking on Makanai's request.
If there's a risk anyway, it's better to seek a bigger return.
Don't you think so?
Biscuit?
Let's go back.
We've accomplished our goals. We now need to get back to Mars.
If we ask, Teiwaz might give us a ride if it's just people.
It can't be enough.
If we only do small jobs on Mars,
we're just being quick-witted kids.
We'll get taken advantage of again.
We have to aim big.
Bigger than Teiwaz. Than that old man, Makanai, too.
- Steal anything from... - Stop it.
It's enough as it is.
Please think more about your comrades.
There must be a way to go home without endangering everyone.
I don't think about my comrades?
That's not it.
I'm asking you not to purposely take the dangerous path.
I thought hard and decided.
About what's the best for our future.
What if we force ourselves here and somebody dies?
There will be no future.
I've decided. We have to move forward.
Then I... I will...
What?
I will quit Tekkadan.
Hey. Biscuit.
A message?
Yeah... It got forwarded to us from the Dorts.
It's...
It's from your older brother.
Brother Savarin?
Boss?
You scared me. Is something wrong?
No...
I've decided.
We're taking on Makanai's request.
That's better for you, right? As an overseer from Teiwaz.
I didn't think I'd be opposed by Biscuit that badly.
Mr. Biscuit did?
I didn't think he'd go so far as to say that.
I heard from Mr. Eugene just earlier.
Mr. Biscuit's older brother...
What I'm doing,
will no doubt benefit my comrades and everyone else.
I acted on that belief.
But... Things didn't go as planned,
and the result was tragic.
Maybe Mr. Navona and I carried a burden that was beyond us,
and forced ourselves too much.
We could've run away and found a small happiness somewhere.
But once we were caught up in the big swell,
it was impossible to get away from it.
I could only live in such a way.
But I don't want you to be swayed by others,
so find your own life that you want to live, and live it out.
Cherish your family and friends.
I sincerely pray that you can live a stable and happy life.
Brother...
So that's what it was...
Hey, Biscuit.
You're still working?
Yeah. Eco from the Turbines told me about the suspension,
so I'm outfitting it for land battle.
It's about the only way I can contribute too.
Something wrong?
Well... I just argued with Orga a bit.
I can only move ahead from here.
Fumitan. Please give me the strength.
I thought you hadn't eaten anything since we got back here.
I was preparing it, but you had to go.
Oh my, is that fish?
Do you know it?
Yes, because it's my father's favorite.
Don't eat it if you don't like.
No, I'll eat it.
I have to build up my strength.
There's this too.
Hey!
Are you serious? That you want to quit Tekkadan.
Orga is only thinking about moving ahead.
That's not anything new.
You're right.
And actually, Orga did lead everyone this far.
But maybe, that was because we've been simply lucky.
We don't know how long things can go that well.
I'm sure we can choose a calmer path.
Maybe...
- Right? - But...
Maybe not.
Nobody knows about the future.
Orga is shivering with fear as he moves ahead too.
Don't get it wrong.
Tekkadan didn't come this far with just luck.
It was because we had Orga, everyone...
and you.
Talk it through with Orga.
You've always done that. Right?
Ever since we joined CGS...
Regardless of whatever reckless thing I did,
he supported me and followed me.
So I was shocked.
I never thought that he would reject me like that.
Maybe I'm rushing things.
What's so funny?
I'm sorry.
But it seems you really rely on him.
It was Mr. Biscuit who always supported your decisions.
Right?
Maybe...
Boss. There's a call from Mr. Makanai.
He says it's urgent.
What is it? You can't wait one night?
That's not it.
Gjallarhorn advised us.
To hand over Kudelia and Tekkadan.
What? That's not what you told us.
There are ones in Gjallarhorn with unique commanding rights.
Even the Oceanian Federation can't hold them off.
Who is that?
The commander's name is...
You will not escape. Not this time.
Not in the name of Carta Issue.
Don't lose Burn up your life
You rats. I will take revenge on what you did to us.
We, the Outer Earth Orbit Regulatory Joint Fleet...
For the peace of Earth, the order of the outer orbit and the families of
the Outer Earth Orbit Regulatory Joint Fleet, we shall show our true strength.
Persistent and fortitudinous!
