???: ...Awaken... ???: Awaken, Cobray Gordon... Cobray: ...Ingram Plisskin... ???: ...There is still much I need to have you do. Cobray: Is that why you went inside of me, and used me...!? Cobray: I am me...! ...Ingram Plisskin! I won't go and act as you please! ???: ...There's something I'd like to show you... (image of some skies) Cobray: This is... ???: Let's move on to the next. (image of a mountain with a temple and village at its base) Cobray: ..... (image of a darkened planet with a green energy ring blocking something red, ie: how Axis was stopped at the end of CCA) Cobray: Wh...! (image of the Earth from an outer space view) Cobray: The Earth... (image of outer space) Cobray: ! (image of a galactic spiral) Cobray: What are you trying to do... ???: Consider worlds as so many weights. If the equilibrium between them collapses, it would mean the demise of every world... and the entire universe. ???: Therefore, the universe does not allow the existence of things that disrupt it. Cobray: ..... ???: A cycle of death and rebirth... and souls trapped within it... ???: The struggle between infinite positivity and negativity warps the universe, and ultimately seeks global destruction. Cobray: Infinite negativity... Dis Rev turns that into power... ???: The Astranagun is the guardian of the karmic balance that stands in the interval between them... Cobray: Is that your mission...? ???: Yes. I exist in all worlds, and am nothing more than a fleeting figure in all of them... ???: But my body was consumed by limitless negativity. My soul alone fled to this world. Cobray: And so it entered inside of me... ???: Not quite. I didn't enter you... You pulled me in. Cobray: ! ???: ...I chose you, a hollow weapon, to be my replacement body. ???: But, due to circumstances beyond what I had anticipated, you lost your memory, and at the same time, my soul ended up suppressed beneath your conciousness. Cobray: ..... ???: After that, you went through many experiences, and began to form a self of your own. ???: It's gradually absorbing my soul. Soon enough, my existence will fade entirely... Cobray: And so you came to steal me, with the last of your power...? ???: Exactly... ???: If I were to say that, what would you do? Cobray: ...It's obvious. Cobray: I... am not Ingram Plisskin...! I'm Cobray Gordon! Cobray: I'll eliminate anyone who threatens my existence, no matter who...! ???: ...Very well. Then go ahead, resist with all your might... ???: Hollow puppet... Show me the power of your life force...! Cobray: Begone, Ingram! I am me!! (Flash of light) MEANWHILE BACK ON THE GOLAR GOLEM(?) SHIP Hazal: How unseemly, Gimel... You, the commander of the Balshem(?), failing a mission... Calico: ...I have nothing to say to that. Hazal: Just as well. You'll be confined to your quarters for the present time. Hazal: For that duration, you won't be allowed to wear a mask. Calico: ..... (glare) Hazal: What's that look...? You... Do you always look at others like that beneath your mask...!? (crackle of electricity) Calico: ....! Hazal: Gimel! If Ace hadn't put in a good word for you, you would have been executed on the spot for failing your mission! Hazal: You Balshem are all my pawns! You should know very well what's left for a pawn that can't fulfill its duty! (another crackle of electricity) Calico: Gh! Hazal: If you fail in your duties, there's no point in any of you living! Calico: ..... (glare) Hazal: You're a puppet, made by Father... Hazal: Don't forget that your life rests in my hands. Calico: Sir... Hazal: Daret(?)! Take Gimel and go. For the time being, neither of you show your faces. Spectra: ..... Hazal: When I look at those Barshem masks of yours, it makes me sick...! Spectra: Understood... Come, Calico... Calico: ..... Hazal: Hmph... damned puppets... Son Ganlong: It seems you're not in a terribly good mood. Hazal: Don't bother sucking up, it irritates me... Go hang out with Etweela(?) or something. Son Ganlong: That's unusual of you to say... I am a member of Golar GOlem... Your loyal servant. Hazal: I hear your bloodline and Shin Ryuouki are followers of the Earth's Gan Eden. Hazal: There's got to be a catch to that vow of loyalty you swore to us, when we're in pursuit of the agent of Gan Eden. Son Ganlong: I won't deny it. ...But, that's also in the past. Son Ganlong: My ancestor and Shin Ryuouki were in Gan Eden's service, so to speak... In which case, if an even greater power than that were to appear, it would be perfectly logical to join with that. Hazal: Hoh... You mean me? Son Ganlong: That's what I have in mind, well? Hazal: ..... Son Ganlong: ..... Hazal: Very well. Show me some proof of those words next time you set out to fight. Otherwise... Son Ganlong: I get the idea. I simply want to observe your power, Commander. Son Ganlong: The infinite power, absolute destiny... The power of those chosen by the Akashic Record... Psychodriver power... Hazal: You don't have to tell me that. I'm the son of Shiva(?) Gozzo... Hazal Gozzo. Hazal: For Father's sake... I'll use this Psychodriver power to eliminate them all. Son Ganlong: ..... Hazal: What's Baran doing? Son Ganlong: Well, he's finally realized your and His Excellency Shiva's goals, so. Son Ganlong: He raised a fuss a up until a little while ago, but at the moment he's confined to the ship. Hazal: So even that man can't do a thing when stuck in a prison cell. Hazal: Ace. You may need to use your power. Make the necessary preparations. Ace: Roger... (walks off) Son Ganlong: ..... (footsteps approach) Etweela: You're an awfully airheaded guy, aren't you... Son Ganlong: It's my natural disposition. ...does it get on your nerves? Etweela: No... I don't mind that sort of self-loyalty. Son Ganlong: ...Is the commander being awoken, I wonder? Etweela: That's the key prepared just for that by Shiva, after all. We should make good use of it. Son Ganlong: There's been a fair amount of success in control of the Crossgates, it seems, but... Etweela: But, that should be just about reaching its limit. In addition to that, his nerves have been worn thin with the battle he fought with Ryusei Date. Etweela: In the end, he's an imitation... Etweela: At a level where he can be used as a key to access the Akashic Record, then be duly disposed of. Son Ganlong: That's quite harsh... Etweela: But it seems the next fight will be interesting to watch... Son Ganlong: Hazal Gozzo and Ryusei Date... Etweela: It doesn't matter who wins. I'll get glimpse... of this entire galaxy... Son Ganlong: ..... MEANWHILE, IN THE ARCHANGEL'S CAFETERIA Arad: Any word from Cobray? Sai: I've been sending transmissions from here, and searching in every direction... Sai: I know how you feel, but all we can do now is wait... Arad: ..... Sai: ...I know the feeling. Back with Kira and Tolle, I was the same way... Seolla: ..... Sai: I'll try asking the Captain to expand the search radius. So just wait a little longer. Seolla: Thanks... Sai: No need to thank me. I believe Cobray will come back, after all. (end transmission) Arad: (Easy to say...) Seolla: (It's already been 48 hours since Cobray's signal got cut off...) Kira: Arad... Seolla... Ryusei: Sorry, Arad... If I'd stopped Cobray then... Ryusei: No... Not just that... One thing I said got him riled up when he's usually so cool-headed... Seolla: What do you mean, Ensign Ryusei...!? Ryusei: I... might have lumped him in with Major Ingram... Ryusei: Despite him being himself, not Major Ingram... Viletta: ...You're not the only one at fault there, Ryusei... Viletta: Those who know Ingram Plisskin have been searching for signs of him somewhere in Cobray. Seolla: Cobray must have realized that... Arad: So he just took off, completely out of the blue...? Seolla: ..... Viletta: But this is something Cobray will have to settle for himself... If he can't do that, Cobray will be like his puppet. Athrun: But, that's assuming he's alive... Heero: He wouldn't die... Seolla: Heero... Heero: He's a soldier by his very nature. He won't die until he fulfills the mission he gave himself. Arad: That mission being... Heero: Yes... to live. Kira: To live... Duo: I'll bet money he's alive. Judau: Me too. Seolla: But... This whole dimension is going to collapse soon... Seolla: And we don't even know if we can make it out... If Cobray gets left behind... Roux: Seolla... Rulia: ...I'm sorry... Because I fled and left it up to him back there, things ended up this way... Almana: No, you're wrong... It's all because I looked down upon him, somewhere in my mind... Arad: Princess... Almana: I'm the lowest form of human... I surely considered him, somewhere in my mind, as Balshem... Almana: Even though he gave me courage... Ryusei: Eh...? Almana: When he took me hostage, for just a moment, I felt free... But what awaited me when I returned to Golar Golem, was a reality I had never perceived before... Almana: And I realized. That to gain freedom, you must be prepared to shed your own blood... Viletta: Princess Almana... Almana: Cobray Gordon... he was the one who showed me that. Almana: A caged bird and a puppet with a mind of its own... He showed me so much, yet... His life... Seolla: ..... Rulia: Princess... Ryusei: ...It's nice just to see... Ryusei: That even in Ze Balmary, there are people who think that way. We're happy to know that. Almana: I... want to make it up to him... So we must ensure that he returns alive, no matter what... Seolla: Yes... Viletta: But Golar Golem should be attacking any minute now. Ryusei: Yeah... This time that Hazal guy must really be worked up. Almana: ..... Rulia: Princess... Ryusei: Say... If you don't mind, could you tell a little bit about that Hazal guy? Rulia: ..... Almana: ...Alright... Rulia: Princess...! Almana: Hazal has plotted a revolt against His Majesty. He likely doesn't want to let us live with that knowledge. Almana: In which case, by assisting the Alpha Numbers, I am ultimately protecting His Majesty. Viletta: The Golar Golem is on the move in order to defeat the Sacred Emperor Ruaf? Almana: They were probably searching for the agent of the Earth's Gan Eden in order to oppose His Majesty, who is also an agent of Gan Eden. Viletta: (So that's it, I thought so...) Viletta: (Without an awakened Psychodriver and Gan Eden, fighting the Sacred Emperor Ruaf would be next to impossible...) Almana: Hazal Gozzo is the son of Shiva Gozzo, the Prime Minister of our home planet... He is also the commander-in-chief of the Remote Galaxy Field Inspection Army. Almana: However, at the present, the force he leads, Golar Golem, is his father Shiva's own special task force. Ryusei: In other words, this Shiva guy is the one pulling the strings? Almana: Most likely... Rulia: It seems that as Prime Minister, Shiva is using his political influence to gradually augment his own battlepower. Almana: Shiva is also the Empire's greatest scientist. All of Golar Golem's weaponry was designed by him. Ryusei: Damn...! Pulling the strings behind the scenes for his own gain, he's just like Euzeth Gozzo! Rulia: Euzeth Gozzo... assigned to the Seventh Fleet. He's a blood relative of Shiva. Rulia: The reason Shiva set his sights on the Earth was probably due to the data he left behind. Ryusei: So then... Viletta: Yes... Everything from the Balmar War up through the War to Seal the Earth is tied into one common thread. Viletta: With the two Gan Edens seperated at the core of this galaxy and the edge... Ryusei: The two Gan Edens, huh... Almana: Ze Balmary and the Earth... I wonder what fate has in store for the two planets... Ryusei: That hardly matters right now... Ryusei: This next fight... If we don't win it, it's all over...! Viletta: (Golar Golem will probably send all their forces at us...) Viletta: (That will be an extremely critical moment for Ryusei...) Arad: Seolla... Arad: I know, Arad... Cobray will definitely return... Seolla: Let's have faith in that, and protect the place he'll return to... the Alpha Numbers. Arad: Right...! EPISODE 44: WAR GOD OF STEEL [LAUNCH] Judau: Bring it on, Golar Golem! We won't give in that easily! Monsha: I'm low on fuel and ammo here. Let's raise some hell to the end! Dokker: Heh... Things could start lookin' pretty desperate. Dearka: If it comes down to it, I'll go out with a bang! Mwo: Don't be in such a rush. If you get seperated, you'll just wind up isolated against them. Jung: That's true. Let's show them the spirit of Earthnoids! Cosmo: Yeah! We'll fight it out to the end! Heero: (Relena... It looks like this will be where I die...) Shinji: (Father... Kaji... I'm...) Max: (Milia... Take care of running City 7...) (Alarm sounds) Sally: There's a dimensional distortion! A gate's appearing! Max: All hands, to battle stations! (Crossgate appears) Kira: They've come...! Shinji: Yeah... Ryusei: Hazan's not there...? Kouji: That conceited asshole's probably watching from a better position. Isamu: In that case, we just have to give his servants a beatdown so bad he has to come out himself! Kou: We've got to try and hold out until he comes...! Son Ganlong: How uplifting. You haven't lost your battle spirit even in the face of death. Son Ganlong: Or maybe it's just foolishness? Arad: Shaddup! Morons might be morons, but I'll show you the power of brute strength under pressure! Son Ganlong: Just as well. You'll all be following that devil user soon enough. Seolla: ! Arad: Y-you...! Cobray... you...!! Bright: All units, concentrate your attacks on the enemy Choukijin! Daimonji: The enemy's likely to have plenty of battlepower in reserve! Be careful not to get spread too thinly! Ryusei: Roger...! Just wait, Hazal...! Arad: Cobray...! We'll avenge you! [COMMENCE BATTLE] [When enough enemies are killed, or Turn 4 Player Phase] Son Ganlong: Impressive, impressive. I suppose the Commander will have to face you all himself. Ryusei: What!? Son Ganlong: The commander should have departed by now. Hang in there. (Hazal shows up) Ryusei: Hazal Gozzo! Hazal: You seem to be doing well for yourselves, Alpha Numbers... But it's just about time to bring that to an end. Shingo: The outcome might not end up the way you want it to, you know. Hazal: Hoh... Then why don't we see how the fairy tale you speak of turns out... Kenichi: Fairy tale...!? Shinobu: If you wanna know that badly, we'll show you! Guy: Justice always prevails...! No... Justice always overcomes evil! Banjou: We'll brand that onto your body... Villain! Hazal: Very well. This dimension should be starting to close about now... I'll finish this before then... And see your deaths...! Ryusei: Like you could! Our battle isn't over yet! Ryusei: Hazal! I'll defeat you, and beat it out of you how to get out of this dimension! Hazal: Come, Ryusei Date... I'll show you... Hazal: My power... The power of a Psychodriver...! Son Ganlong: (Yes... That will do nicely...) Son Ganlong: (Infinite positivity and negativity... They'll gather close soon...) [Resume battle] [Ryusei vs Hazal] Hazal: After only barely scratching me, you still dare to defy me!? Ryusei Date!! Ryusei: I won't give up...! No matter how many times I get beaten, as long as this body of mine draws breath... Ryusei: I'll pay you back in spades for the pain you've caused us! Hazal: Then I'll take that heart of yours and thoroughly crush it here! [Hazal defeated] Hazal: Kh...! Ryusei: We win, Hazal! Hazal: Silence, Ryusei! I will not lose...! Hazal: I will not accept losing! Ryusei: What!? Hazal: I am Hazal Gozzo! Son of Shiva Gozzo! Hazal: I am a Psychodriver, one that will power Father's galactic domination!! (Burst of energy) Viletta: This power...!? Hazal: I'll show you...! My Psychodriver power! Ryusei: Stop, Hazal! Ryusei: That power is...! Hazal: Ryusei!! Ryusei: There's no need for that power!! (R-Blade attacks Hazal's machine, 69,300 damage) Hazal: Wh...!? Ryusei: What's so great about Psychodrivers... What's so great about divine power...! Ryusei: Even without that, I have comrades! I have a fighting heart! Ryusei: As long as I have that, I can fight! Hazal: Not yet...! It's not... over... yet!! Hazal: ACE!! (Ace's unit joins with Hazal's) Ryusei: What!? Hazal: I'll show you! My Viclan(?)'s true power!! (Vican combines with Ace's machine, fires on R-Blade, knocks it to low HP) Ryusei: GWAAAAAAAAH!! Kouji: RYUSEI!! Ryusei: They... combined...!? Hazal: See that, Earthlings!? This is my Viclan's true power! Hazal: The ultimate attack, made from researching your machines! Hyouma: What'd you say...!? Shinobu: Researching our machines...!? Hazal: Euzeth Gozzo left some fascinating data behind... Hazal: On the power of you Earthlings... The extra Dead Sea Scroll... And Gan Eden... Misato: The extra Dead Sea Scroll...!? Don't tell me the Ze Balmary Empire has that...!? Hazal: The combination capabilities your machines hold were of particularly great interest. Hazal: Thanks to that, this Viclan was completed. Ryusei: Kh... agh...! Hazal: You're still alive, Ryusei Date? Hazal: I've heard lots and lots about you from Father... Hazal: Well, about the man on the edge of the galaxy in the process of awakening as a Psychodriver. Hazal: So I decided that I would eliminate you myself. Ryusei: Ha... Zal... Hazal: If I do that, Father will praise me as the best...! Hazal: He'll only need me! (Psychic tingling noise) Akira: Kh... This overwhelming dark presence... Amuro: That man's mind...! Is he cracking from using that attack...!? Judau: Wh-what a dark... painful feeling... Camille: So this is what drives his warped mind... Hazal: Ryusei Date, I'll deal with you later! (Viclan starts moving) Sai: The enemy commander's mech is approaching this direction! Murrue: Evasive action! Hurry! Noiman: It's no good! We won't make it! (Another machine shows up) Bright: That's!? Hazal: Hoh, Almana... How sporting of you to come out in person...! Arad: P-Princess!? Why!? Almana: I cannot further impose on everyone's hospitality. So... Hazal: You're rather gallant, Princess! Are you trying to save this place by sacrificing yourself? Almana: Be silent, Hazal Gozzo! Almana: I hereby declare! In the name of the Sacred Emperor Ruaf, as Priestess of Zephiroude... Almana: I, Almana Ticvar(?) condemn Golar Golem for treason! Hazal: Very nice! Splendid! Truly you are the light of hope for Ze Balmary's citizens! Almana: I'm sorry, Rulia... that things turned out this way... Rulia: What are you talking about, Princess... Condemning traitors against His Majesty together with you is my greatest honor... Rulia: Even if we face Hazal... I won't yield an inch...! Fokker: Skull Leader to all units! Do whatever you can to protect the Princess! Isamu: Easy for you to say, the situation's a little out of control here! (Arad and Seolla move) Almana: You're...! Arad: Princess! If I let you die, I'd never be able to show my face to Cobray! Seolla: Leave this to us, and back up a bit, please! Hazal: ...Don't mess with me!! (Burst of energy and explosions) Arad: Gah! Hazal: I won't pardon anyone who defies me! Hazal: Ryusei! Alpha Numbers! Almana! I'll wipe you all out! Almana: Stop it, Hazal! If this keeps up, you'll be...! Hazal: I won't accept failure...! I will win... Win... If I don't win, I'll be... I'll be...!! Rulia: Hazal... Akira: This isn't good...! He's starting to mentally crack! At this rate... Mari: What will happen!? Viletta: If the core, the pilot's psychic power, goes wild, it means that machine will go wild as well... Hazal: UWAAAAAAAARGH!! (Flare of energy) Sakon: Dr. Daimonji! The dimensional pocket and gravitational field are simultaneously collapsing! Sakon: If this keeps up, this dimension will be completely reduced to nothing! Daimonji: What did you say!? Elle: Reduced to nothing!? What's that supposed to mean!? Beecha: Who knows! At any rate, it's definitely something ultra-nasty!! Camille: His power going out of control is causing this dimension to collapse!? Burning: All units, stop him! If this keeps up, we'll be crushed inside this dimension! Hazal: WAAAAAAAAARGH!! (Burst of energy and explosions) Kira: I-it won't work! We can't get close to him at all! Dearka: Damn! I'm out of ammo, sniping's out of the question too!! Arad: DAMNIIIITT!! You think I'll let things end in a place like this!? (Crackle of energy, machine appears) Seolla: That's!? ???: Sorry to keep you waiting... Ace: ....! Arad: Cobray! Cobray, is that you!? Sally: Unbelievable! The dimensional collapse has stopped! Max: Is that the Astranagun's power...!? Hazal: YOU!! Cobray: Hazal Gozzo! I'll defeat those who warp this world! (Z O scythe attack) Hazal: GAAAAAAH!! Seolla: Cobray! Cobray: Don't relax yet! This doesn't change the fact that this dimension will be gone soon! Hazal: WHY YOOOUU!! (Viclan starts moving) Banjou: Oh no! He's going after Ryusei!! Noriko: Run for it, Ryusei! Ryusei: Damnit! Hazal: Begone... BEGONE! RYUSEI DATEEE!! Ryusei: Gh...! Cobray: Ryusei! (Dis Astranagun moves) Cobray: Now! Slice through the dimension! Ace: ...! (Giant energy blade opens a dimensional rift, scene shatters) Ryusei: This's!? Hazal: Impossible! This is like a Crossgate...! (Everyone appears in regular space) Shinji: Where is...!? Guld: All sensors are properly working...! Cosmo: We're back! We've returned to the normal dimension! Hazal: So there are people beyond our own that can control Crossgates!? Ryusei: That's!? (Machine shows up out of a dimensional rift) Ryusei: Ah... AAH...! Arad: That's what sliced through the dimension and saved us...? ???: Sorry to keep you waiting, Ryusei. ???: We've come to greet you, Ryu. Hikaru: That silhouette... Kou: There are some differences, but there's no mistaking it...! Viletta: So it's finally been completed... Ryusei: The new SRX!! Rai: Get aboard, Ryusei! Ryusei: Right! (R-Blade/R-Gun joins with SRX) Ryusei: Rai, Mai! Rai: Save the greetings for later! Mai: First things first, we'll avenge Aya... and destroy Golar Golem! Ryusei: YEAH! Hazal: SRX...!? I thought I completely destroyed it before! Rai: Hazal Gozzo... We've been waiting for today, the day we defeat you...! Rai: For engulfing the Earth in the flames of war, and robbing Captain Aya of her life, we'll defeat you ourselves...! Mai: Get a good taste at the power of the Earthlings you used! Ryusei: ..... Hazal: Hmph... An entrance with fanfare is all well and good, but it seems you're missing something vitally important...! Ryusei: Agh... Mai: Ryu... Hazal: Without psychic power, Ryusei Date can't draw out a bit of that machine's power! Rai: ...That's where you're wrong. Hazal: What...? Rai: Ryusei hasn't lost his power. It's just resting inside of him! Hazal: If you can't use it, it's the same thing! Powerless fools, begone from this universe! Ryusei: SHUT UP!! My strength isn't just psychic power!! Ryusei: The friends who fight together with me! They're my strength!! Hazal: Then I'll destroy you together with them!! Ryusei: UWAAAAAAAAAAARGH!! (Burst of energy from SRX) Ace: ! Hazal: What the!? This power! Basara: Wow...! Awesome, he's got soul!! Akira: This is Ryusei's power...! Viletta: Go, Ryusei!! Ryusei: UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!! (SRX hits Viclan with T-Link Blade Knuckle) Hazal: GWAH!! Ryusei: Hazal! I won't be misled anymore...! Even including this power, I am myself! Ryusei: I don't care where this power came from, or what meaning it holds! Ryusei: This power of mine is just something I use for the justice I believe in! Rai: Ryusei... Mai: That's our Ryu. Ryusei: Let's go, SRX...! No... that name doesn't suit you now that you're complete...! Ryusei: Your name is SRX Altered! Banpreios! Ryusei: The Invincible Super Robot that fights together with us to protect the galaxy! (Two more machines appear) Ratsel: It seems the tables have been turned. Zengar: All that's left is to attain victory...! Tetsuya: Zengar Zonbolt, and Ratsel...! Hazal: Obstacles are showing up all around me! Hazal: I'll obliterate every one of you, down to the last speck! (Arad and Seolla move) Arad: Oh no you won't, Hazal Gozzo! Seolla: You won't have your way...! Not with the Earth, or with us! Cobray: ..... Viletta: Are you Cobray...? Or are you Ingram...? Cobray: Both, or maybe neither... Viletta: But it doesn't change the fact that I'm the Cobray Gordon you all know. Cobray: Among many worlds, this is where I exist right now... Cobray: And I want to show my gratitude for the miracle I experienced with all of you. Arad: I don't need to hear any excuses I don't understand anyway! This is all I'll ask of you! Arad: Let's do it, Cobray! Cobray: Right...! (Almana's machine moves) Cobray: Almana... Almana: Did you find what you sought? Cobray: Yeah... But it was closer than I'd expected. Almana: That is the same for me. I also fight together with all of you for those I hold dear! (Almana joins Cobray) Hazal: Almana! So you've finally sided with the Earth! Almana: Be silent, Hazal! It is as I told you before! Almana: In the name of the Sacred Emperor Ruaf, I shall destroy you! (More enemies appear) Hazal: I'll wipe out all those who stand in my way! Get them, men! Ryusei: Hazal! We'll settle this between you and me! [RESUME BATTLE] [Son Ganlong defeated before SRX event] Son Ganlong: ...if they can beat me back this far, I think I'll let the commander handle the rest. Son Ganlong: (Give it your best, my puppet commander...) [Son Ganlong defeated after SRX event] Son Ganlong: Oh well... At least I got to see Ryusei Date's awakening. Son Ganlong: (Give it your best, my puppet commander...) [Kouji vs Hazal] Kouji: Now that we're back to the normal dimension, it's our turn! Kouji: Time to settle this, Hazal Gozzo!! Hazal: Ridiculous!! I'll use my full power to reduce all of you to space dust!! [Shinobu vs Hazal] Hazal: I am Hazal Gozzo...! The proud son of Shiva Gozzo! Shinobu: It's been a surprise to see a scoundrel like you fight with that sort of feeling... Alan: So his father's desires led him astray... Ryo: But, Shinobu... Shinobu: I know! Whatever reasons he might have, there's no forgiving what he's done up until now! Shinobu: We'll deliver his last requiem here!! [Judau vs Hazal] Hazal: Since you've returned to the normal dimension, I'll deal with you all here! Judau: Like you could! We just got back! Judau: We'll defeat you here, and bring all of this to an end!! [Amuro vs Hazal] Amuro: Hazal Gozzo! It seems you're a human being, just like us! Hazal: What!? Amuro: Fighting it out to the death at your father's behest is so typically human! Hazal: Silence! You dare to compare a Balmarian such as myself to you lowly humans!? Hazal: You all will pay for that disgrace with your lives! [Basara vs Hazal] Basara: That frozen heart of yours! My song will thaw it out! Hazal: Silence, stop this tomfoolery! What could you understand about me!? Basara: Before you start complaining, Hazal Gozzo... LISTEN TO MY SONG! [Cobray vs Hazal] Cobray: Your tenacity... no, your hatred, is meaningless before Dis Astranagun. Hazal: A doll has no place addressing me in such a brazen manner! [Akira vs Hazal] Akira: Stop it, Hazal Gozzo! If you use your power any further, your body won't be able to take it! Hazal: Like I care! For Father's ideals, I'll gladly give up this body! Akira: It's the same... Even beyond the difference of right and wrong, you still sacrifice your life for one dear to you... Akira: Like Mom... Hazal: Hero of the Sun God! You too shall be crushed by my Gadol Viclan's power!! [Ryusei vs Hazal] Hazal: Ryusei Date! I won't tolerate your existence...! I won't tolerate it!! Mai: Ryu! Ryusei: I know, Mai! I'll stop him!! Rai: Do it, Ryusei! Show us your power! Ryusei: Roar, Banpreios!! Let the sound of your invincible war gong echo through the heavens!! [Ryouma vs Hazal] Hazal: Before my Viclan's combination system, the Earth's combining mecha are little more than toys! Hayato: Heh... You just don't get the point of combining, do you? Benkei: What we're doing isn't combining! It's just working together as partners! Hazal: What!? Ryouma: I'll show you, Hazal Gozzo! That in a combination, every member's heart becomes as one! Ryouma: We, the Getter Team, will show you the power of a REAL combination!! [Noriko vs Hazal] Hazal: You all have no future! Gadol Viclan and I will snatch it out from your grasp here! Noriko: I won't let you! Sister and Coach... and everyone's future! We'll protect it!! Hazal: Ridiculous! Try saying that AFTER you win against me! [Kira vs Hazal] Hazal: Insects! Even to the death, you're all no match for me or the Gadol Viclan! Kira: We're not insects! We're living human beings! Kira: You have no right to steal that life! Hazal: Oh yes I do! If you put your lives and mine on a balance, that balance would always tilt in my favor! Hazal: I am Hazal Gozzo! The chosen son of Shiva Gozzo! Kira: People like you are such...! [Camille vs Hazal] Camille: Hazal Gozzo! If there's a part of your heart that can feel pain, then stop this fighting! Hazal: Me, follow the advice of some pathetic Earthling!? Absurd! Hazal: You're all pawns to us... I'll teach you how the natural order works! The absolute truth called power! Camille: You...! You're completely consumed by power! [Cosmo vs Hazal] Hazal: The Giant God Ide! I'll take it to offer to Father! Cosmo: You can't even control your own power, you think you could handle Ide!? Hazal: What!? Cosmo: Hazal Gozzo! We won't yield to you... and Ide won't yield to evil will either! Kasha: Yeah! You're going down! [Isamu vs Hazal] Isamu: When you lose your cool, you're just screwin' yourself over! Hazal: How dare an Earthling address me in such a manner...! You will pay!! Isamu: Keep raisin' your voice, you're diggin' your own grave! [Shingo vs Hazal] Shingo: Now then... Let's wrap this up, shall we, Hazal Gozzo! Hazal: You people and that witty banter of yours make me sick...! Hazal: Gadol Viclan and I will wipe out your very existence! Kyle: Hoh... Looks like he still wants to go at it. Remy: Let's make sure he doesn't have to suffer through what he doesn't like again! [Kenichi vs Hazal] Hazal: Nothing stands in the way of Gadol Viclan's power, not even Choudenji machines or whatever they're called! Kenichi: Quiet, Hazal Gozzo! We'll smash evil bastards like you!! Kenichi: We'll show that to your soul, led astray as it is by a father's love! [Hyouma vs Hazal] Hazal: Your machines can't stand up to Gadol Viclan's perfected form. Hyouma: You sure talk big for someone who imitates stuff! Even a monkey could do that! Hazal: Silence, whelp! Hazal: I'll destroy you then, and prove that my Viclan is the strongest thing in the universe! [Guy vs Hazal] Guy: Did you see it, Hazal!? Our courageous vow brought forth this miracle! Hazal: After courage comes miracles... I have power even without such baseless reasoning! Guy: You still don't get it!? Our courage is what gives rise to power! Hazal: Then I'll crush that courage of yours and show you who holds the power to rule this universe!! [Heero vs Hazal] Hazal: The existence of you insects irritates me! I'll wipe you out! Heero: No matter how small a life may be, it has the right to live from the moment it's born. But, Hazal... Heero: I won't tolerate your existence if you ignore that fact. [Tetsuya vs Hazal] Tetsuya: The tables have turned! You're the one without a future now! Hazal: Wrong! All that changed was the place where you all would die! Tetsuya: I'll make you eat those words! [Kou vs Hazal] Kou: Hazal Gozzo! We can't let things end in a place like this...! Kou: Since the hopes of countless people are hinging on us! Hazal: Then I'll send you down to Hell along with those hopes! Hazal: With this Gadol Viclan! [Ace defeated] Ace: So this... is it... (Ace flees) Hazal: Ace! Come back and fight, Ace!! Ryusei: You're all that's left, Hazal! Hazal: I won't lose...! I won't tolerate loss...! Hazal: Father gave me power for that reason!! Rulia: Hazal... You're... Almana: Rulia... [Hazal knocked to low HP] Hazal: You think my Viclan would fall to such meager attacks!? (Burst of energy) Arad: Is that bastard a monster...!? Ryusei: No...! Mai: At this rate... he'll be crushed under his own power! Seolla: Then...!? Ryusei: He's... using his own lifeforce to fight... Mai: And that's... Almana: Reaching its limits soon... Cobray: Hazal Gozzo... So this is the proof of your lifeforce... Rulia: Just stop it, please, Sir Hazal! Hazal: Silence, traitor! Don't try to suck up to me now! Hazal: I'm sick and tired of seeing that sisterly face of yours!! Rulia: ..... Seolla: What do you mean...!? Almana: Before Rulia became my bodyguard, she served Hazal... Almana: She's been a servant to him since she was a child, so I suppose you could call them childhood playmates... Rulia: Back then, you were an innocent, laughing child... Hazal: Be silent! I've grown strong! For Father!! Hazal: That's what proves I'm alive! Zengar: Pathetic... In searching for power, you lost sight of the meaning behind your own existence... Hazal: Power itself is justice! That is the absolute truth of this galaxy! Ryusei: Hazal... Cobray: Ensign Ryusei... Dealing with his techniques is your job. Ryusei: I know! That suffering... I'll free him from it with this hand of mine! [Hazal defeated] Hazal: Impossible...! How could something so ridiculous be!? Hazal: I am Hazal Gozzo! How could I, the Chosen Psychodriver, be... Rulia: Sir Hazal... Just let it go... Shinobu: He just doesn't freaking die, does he!? Hyouma: Bastard! I'll finish him off!! Baran: WAIT!! (Baran's machine appears) Kouji: That's... Zengar: Baran Doban? Almana: Baran... Baran: Oh, Princess... Thank goodness you're safe... Baran: I may have been delayed a bit, but I, Baran, have come for you! (Baran's machine moves) Baran: Warriors of the Earth...! I implore you to allow me to deal with Hazal. Duo: Hey now! He's been a serious thorn in our sides for a while now! Zechs: Not just that. Who knows how many Earthnoids' lives he's taken...!? Asuka: I guess it would take a Balmarian to expect us to let someone like that get away! Almana: ...I will not deny that... Rulia: ..... Baran: As one from the same planet as the boy... I will not avert my eyes from Hazal's demise... Zengar: Baran Doban... Ryusei: Are you... crying...? Rulia: Sir Baran Doban is Hazal's combat instructor... Baran: Mock me if you will, Alpha Numbers. I, Baran, have come through many battlefields triumphantly in my time, but... Baran: I couldn't properly raise one single boy... Ryusei: ..... Zengar: ..... Max: ...It seems that with their commander defeated, Golar Golem has lost their will to fight. Bright: Then further fighting would just be a waste of resources and manpower. Kasha: Hold on a minute! You're gonna let these guys go, just like that!? Cosmo: Stop it, Kasha... In any case, if they return to their home planet, they'll get branded as traitors... Ryouma: And if Golar Golem completely withdraws from the Earth... Ryouma: The Imperial Fleet probably won't meddle with the Earth again. Almana: If you allow us to settle this... Almana: I shall return to our home planet, and convey news of Shiva's plot to His Majesty. Almana: And on top of that, I shall request for His Majesty to hold talks with all of you. Rulia: Princess... Almana: Rulia... You should realize it. The grave danger that hangs over this galaxy... Almana: The Space Monsters, the Giants, the Protodevlin creatures... All come from another dimension, another galaxy... Almana: This could be the arrival of the Apocalypsis foretold in our scriptures. Ryusei: Apocalypsis... What the heck is that? Almana: I don't know everything about it. It is said to be "The End and Beginning of Everything"... Almana: We believe it means the demise of the galaxy. Sakon: The demise of the galaxy... Daimonji: That's Apocalypsis...? ???: That answer alone is insufficient... (New enemies appear) Calico: So you lived, Ayin...! Cobray: Of course. I can't die yet. Akira: That machine... Etweela Tora!? Etweela: How good of you to remember my name, Alpha Numbers. Ryusei: What do you know!? Why approach us!? Etweela: I suppose you must not realize the fact that you yourselves are the key to "The End and Beginning of Everything", Apocalypsis... Ryouma: We're...!? Shingo: The key to this Apocalypsa-whatsis...!? Etweela: Just as well... It looks like by your putting a stop to the spacial contraction phenomenon... Etweela: You've flown a little further out of the galaxy that heads towards its demise. Baran: Wait, Etweela! Do you also intend to mount a rebellion against His Majesty, on top of Shiva!? Etweela: Wouldn't you like to know... My only interest is in the existence that leads this galaxy to its demise... Etweela: Though it's unfortunate that the boy broke before he could become that key. Baran: You...! (Ace's machine appears and uses a MAP weapon) Baran: Ngh! Almana: Kyaa!! Hazal: Wh... what are you... doing... Ace...!? Ace: Just disposing of a toy that's outlived its usefulness. Hazal: You... That voice...!? Ace: ..... Hazal: Gimel, Daret! What... are you doing...!? Hazal: Ace... attacked me! Take that machine... down... Calico: My name isn't Gimel. It's Calico... Spectra: In the end... you were a failure as well. Hazal: Wh...!? Ace: ..... (maskless face) Hazal: Wha...!? Almana: Another Hazal...! Ace: Wrong, Princess. He and I... neither of us are the original... Ace: We're both Hybrid Humans, Model PD, built by His Excellency. Baran: What did you say!? Ace: As a friend of His Excellency, you probably wouldn't know either. Ace: His Excellency sought to build weapons that moved of their own accord, to deal with the oncoming days... Ace: One of those projects was an Artificial Psychodriver designed to oppose the Sacred Emperor Ruaf. Ryusei: Artificial Psychodriver... Ace: Yes. He concurrently gathered humans who held special qualities from every end of the galaxy, but... Mai: ..... Ace: Ultimately, the Artificial Psychodrivers that His Excellency created were the most superior. Hazal: Lies! How could I be an artificial life... a puppet!? Cobray: ..... Hazal: I am Hazal Gozzo! The son of the Imperial Prime Minister Shiva Gozzo! Ace: You were nothing more than a model led to believe that out of convenience. Rulia: But that's...! So, when I was placed with him as a playmate, that was also... Ace: Yes, that's right. It was probably because he wanted to implant him with human-like emotions. Ace: And through observing that silly farce from the side... Ace: I realized the foolishness and unproductiveness of that thing you call affection, and trained mechanically to fulfill my duty. Hazal: Lies... Lies...! Ace: How unseemly. It's already been verified that you're a failure. Ace: Dismount from the Viclan. That machine belongs to me. Hazal: LIES! I am my father's son... HAZAL GOZZO!! Ace: ...Begone. (Explosion) Hazal: GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!! Baran: Hazal!! Rulia: Sir Hazal! Ace: I've completely obliterated his mind with my power... Come, Viclan. (Viclan moves) Baran: How could this be... Ace: Hazal... I suppose you couldn't handle your emotions. Cobray: You... You showed him your face in order to provoke him...!? Baran: Why you... ACE GOZZO!! Ace: Baran Doban... Report us to the Sacred Emperor if you will. Ace: Though it may already be too late... Ryusei: Hold it! You think we'll let you traipse off just like that!? Ace: Ryusei Date... And, Alpha Numbers... I've seen your power. Ace: But this isn't the proper stage on which for me to fight. Rai: Where would that be, then? Ace: The Ze Balmary Empire... Viletta: What!? Almana: You want to turn the home planet of Ze Balmary into a battlefield!? Ace: I'll give you one other parting piece of information. Ace: Your friend, Aya Kobayashi, is in His Excellency Shiva's custody. Ryusei: What'd you say!? Mai: Aya's... Ace: A psychic of that calibre is suitable to be used as an experimental sample, it seems. Ace: Though, I can't guarantee whether she has a human form. Ryusei: YOU SON OF A!! Ace: Let's meet again, Alpha Numbers. Etweela: I'm expecting great things of you! Since you all will bring about the Apocalypsis! (Enemy units retreat) Amuro: We're leading the galaxy to its demise...? Hyouma: She's just bluffing! Akira: How could we be destroying the galaxy, when we're fighting to save the Earth...!? Jeeg: And we don't have that much power to start with. Ryouma: No... Cosmo: We... might... Gijeh: You don't mean... Sheryl: Yes... Ide... Hayato: Not just that, either... Remy: Maybe... Getter Rays and Beamlar could be just as dangerous... Almana: As the Imperial High Priestess, Etweela Tora holds a vast amount of knowledge of holy scriptures and prophecies... Almana: And it's said that in her thirst for knowledge, she's devoted all of it to infinite power, for many years. Almana: Coming from her, there could be a foundation behind what she says... Daimonji: Captain Max... Max: At any rate, let's assess the situation. Plus, we need to rendezvous with City 7... Almana: Cobray... Cobray: Go on, Almana. If you've found your own mission... Almana: You viewed me as a simple person, rather than a princess, and showed me the truth about this world... Almana: And even while I was repulsed, I was also happy... Cobray: A broken puppet and a bird in a cage... We may have shared some similarities... Almana: We'll meet again, right...? Cobray: I don't know... you and I both have battles ahead of us. Almana: Still... I won't give in. Just like everyone else, I love the planet I was born upon... Rulia: Princess... Baran: Milady's preparation... I, Baran, have accepted it. Baran: I, Baran Doban, vow to stake my life and fight, with Bemidoban, for both your and His Highness' sake. Almana: I am in your care, Baran, Rulia. Cobray: Farewell, Almana... Almana: Cobray... And, everyone... I'll be looking forward to the day when we can meet again. Arad: Yeah! Zengar: So you're going, Baran Doban? Baran: Zengar Zonbolt... It seems that things have ended without fighting you... Zengar: Could that be one more fate...? Baran: After this, I don't know what sort of path you or I will follow... Baran: But, if you stand in Ze Balmary's or my way... Zengar: That will be when my Zankantou and your Iron Ball clash to the death. Baran: Exactly. ...Farewell, Warriors of the Earth... Almana: Until the day we meet again... (They depart) Cobray: ..... Renais: It's finally over... J: No... it's begun. Gamlin: Now we're faced with... the end of the galaxy, Apocalypsis... Mylene: So this galaxy is supposed to be destroyed by that Apocalpysis... Basara: So what? Mylene: Eh...? Cosmo: No matter what's waiting for us, we can't stop after coming this far... Ryouma: Yeah... And if the end is there, I won't give up until the very last... Ryouma: I intend to face whatever's there with all my might. Banjou: That's the spirit. ...So I say, but that's just about all a human can do. Remy: Excellent, excellent! Whatever happens, I'd rather do what I can than what I can't. Kira: Even if something has a tiny amount of power, if you nurture that, surely it could accomplish something, I think...! Athrun: And that's why we're all gathered here right now. Cobray: ..... Cobray: (Yes... Power is gathering... The power to put a stop to the end of the galaxy...) ON THE REPLICA EARTH Cobray: ..... Viletta: Cobray... Cobray: Ingram Plisskin is gone now... Viletta: I know... I can't feel him inside of you... Cobray: Captain Viletta, just what are you... Viletta: I'm his shadow... I share the same mind as his, I'm another version of him... Viletta: And, I was his only family... Cobray: ..... Viletta: But now I have comrades as well. Cherished friends... Viletta: And you're here as well, having inherited his fate... Cobray: ...I was afraid of the one inside of me... of Ingram Pliskin's shadow... Cobray: But, it was nothing more than my soul's own thirst holding his existence captive... Viletta: Did you repudiate the fact that you were becoming one with him...? Cobray: No... He was the one who did that... Cobray: When he realized that a self had awoken inside of me, rather than pulling out from me, he tried to convey something to me... Cobray: He said... That not being able to choose the means to the end leads to repeated mistakes... Viletta: ..... Cobray: I realized for the first time when I confronted him... Cobray: The weight of his destiny, and that pain and anger... Viletta: And then, you took over his destiny... Cobray: Since I have no past, I'm an ideal candidate, after all... Cobray: Being born from a test tube, everything I see looks radiant and dazzling... Cobray: People live and die... Some enjoy it, some suffer... I want to protect this planet, which is overflowing with life... Cobray: When I wished that I could protect all worlds, Ingram entrusted everything to me... Viletta: Cobray... You're not Ingram Plisskin... Viletta: But you do share the same mind as me, as a member of the Alpha Numbers. Cobray: Yeah... At least, for the moment, in this world... (Footsteps approach) Arad: Cobray! Seolla: Welcome back, Cobray... Cobray: Thanks. Ryusei: Cobray... I'm sorry... I... Cobray: Ryusei Date... You've done well. Ryusei: Eh...!? Cobray: The power I expected you to have... it seems to have finally awoken. Ryusei: Y... You...!? Cobray: ...is what Ingram would probably say. Arad: Not bad, Cobray! It's a new style of acting! Ryusei: Man, that surprised the hell outta me! You really had me going there! Cobray: I am me... And I'm no one other than myself. Cobray: But my will to fight is the same as everyone else's. I'll be counting on you from now on... Arad: There's no need to bother with formalities now, Cobray! Seolla: Yeah. This is your home, after all. Cobray: (Home, huh...) Cobray: (Dis Astranagun... Let me bask in this warmth just a little longer...) Cobray: (Until the day comes...) ARCHANGEL CAFETERIA Ryusei: Rai... Rai: We kept our promises, Ryusei. You continued fighting, and I completed Banpreios. Ryusei: Yeah... And Aya's alive... Mai: Ryu... Aya's... Aya's... Ryusei: Don't worry, Mai... Now that Banpreios is completed, there's nothing for us to fear... Ryusei: No matter who we have to face. Mai: Right... Judau: That Mai kid... Camille: She's probably the one we saved from Euzeth Gozzo during the Balmar War, Rebi Tora. Roux: She DOES look like she could be related to Captain Aya... Garrison: I hear she was adopted by Kenzou Kobayashi, the creator of the T-Link System. Beauty: So she really did end up being like Captain Aya's little sister. Reika: Isn't that nice. I much prefer this to people never letting go of the past and always hurting one another... Banjou: That's true... I think it was the best choice for her. Puru: Hey, Rebi... er, Mai, you're fighting together with us, right? Mai: Yeah... I'm sitting in for Aya as the R-3 pilot. Mai: It'll be nice working with you. Puru 2: Same here. Kouji: Still, I was amazed. I thought it was destroyed at the Gate, but the new model SRX has already been completed. Rai: Back in the Balmar War, the SRX that was labelled as X-Type was nothing more than a prototype. Rai: The planning and development of the completed version has been taking place since fairly early on. Ryusei: So you say, but the going was pretty darn tough, and it didn't make it in time for the Gate assault. Sayaka: Say, this SRX... Doesn't Banpreios seperate into the R-Machines? Rai: Initially, Banpreios was supposed to be formed by all of our R-Machines combining, but... Rai: Since the completion was rushed, and the strength of the machine was emphasized the most, for now, its seperation ability is sealed away. Akira: What surprised me even more was how you slashed through the dimensional wall. Hyouma: That was awesome. Is that another thing Banpreios can do? Ryusei: Yeah. Banpreios has 26 secrets hidden throughout its body, you know. Mai: That joke's getting old, Ryu. Mari: (To penetrate it like that...) Akira: (I guess this Mai kid... isn't as immature as she looks...) Rai: Putting Ryusei's bad jokes aside, that's Banpreios' ultimate technique... The XN Dimension... "Jigenzan". (Dimensional slash) Shinobu: Jigenzan? Kouji: You're not telling me... it can slash through the dimensional fabric and directly reach any dimension you want...!? Cobray: ..... Rai: Exactly. Banpreios is more than a mobile weapon, it can also function as an access to Gates. Rai: Channeling psychic energy through the T-Link System, and raising it to a Psychodriver's limits, it becomes possible to use the Jigenzan. Masato: Hold on a minute! Psychodrivers can access Gates? This is the first I've heard of that! Sara: Was that established after we were banished from the Earth? Ryusei: After all Banpreios got put through, I'm amazed it got finished in such a short amount of time... Ryusei: Rai... What's happened since we got exiled from the Earth? Rai: Well... (Footsteps approach) Zengar: That's based around Irui's cooperation. Arad: Wh-what do you mean by that!? Ratsel: After the exile, she suddenly appeared before us. Ratsel: And she taught XN Dimension... in short, the way to access Gates, to Mai. Chizuru: Why on Earth would she...? Kenichi: If she's helping us out, I'd figure there'd be no need for sudden appearances like that... Ratsel: You'll have to ask that to Irui herself. Zengar: And Irui left us a cryptic message... Zengar: It said... "Child of Nashym... Please save this galaxy." Seolla: Nashym...? Ratsel: Unfortunately, we couldn't figure out the meaning of those words even when we pressed Irui about it... Ratsel: But, she's conveyed something to us, and something must hinge on it. Arad: Irui... she's... Viletta: Even after the Balmar War, it seems that Gan Eden's existence is becoming core to everything we're doing... Rai: So then, the phrase "Save the galaxy" must refer to... viletta: It must have some tie to Apocalypsis, no doubt about it. Shinobu: But we don't even know what this Apocalypsis thing IS. Shinobu: Sure you can say it's the demise or ending, but what I wanna know is WHY it happens, and WHAT happens! Akira: I'm still bothered by what that Etweela woman said... Tetsuya: That we're the harbingers of Apocalypsis...? Viletta: ..... Seolla: ..... Cobray: We won't accomplish anything by thinking about it now... Arad: Well... that's sure how it looks... Cobray: Trying to consider the circumstances beyond what we know will only lead to pointless conjecture. Ryusei: I agree with Cobray. It won't accomplish much if we think too hard about it now... Ryusei: All we can do is fight our enemies while trying not to do anything that could lead to the end of the galaxy. Kyle: Well, if that middle-aged lady comes by, why don't we snag her and get the truth? Remy: It might be faster to just ask Kenta. Retzel: You got it, Arad? Arad: Yup! I dunno what Irui's thinking, but all we can do is fight it out! Viletta: (Kenta Sanada, the Apostle of Beamlar... And Musashi Tomoe, who lives inside Getter Rays...) Viletta: (Both of them said things that hinted at the spacial contraction phenomenon being a sign of the Apocalypsis...) Viletta: (I've seen here that information regarding the truth and cause of the Apocalypsis is being hidden...) Sara: SO... What should we do now? Fa: Right now, the Captains are assessing the situation to decide what the next move will be. Kou: Even so... We're still exiled from the Earth... Monsha: Quit yer bitchin'! We're fightin' to save the galaxy! Fokker: The Lieutenant's right. With the whole galaxy being put at stake, that's just small potatoes. Shinobu: Those Muge bastards that stayed on the Earth have joined hands with the Subterranean Empire and they're pursuing Irui... Shinobu: We can't just ignore that. Judau: And we've got to put a stop to the war between the Federation and ZAFT as well. Camille: At the rate things are going, ZAFT and Blue Cosmos will keep fighting until everything's destroyed... Megumi: So there are dangers for both the galaxy at large and the Earth... Kenichi: (Not just that either...) Kenichi: (In the Sol System, Brother Heinel and Richter joined forces with us to fight...) Kenichi: (But on Boazan, Dad and Erika are both being held captive by Z'Zanbazil...) (Door slide noise) Kakizaki: I-it's urgent!! Hikaru: What's got you so worked up, Kakizaki? Kakizaki: J-just now... we got a transmission... Kakizaki: City 7's been captured by the Protodevlin! Mylene: But that's!? Gamlin: How could something like that happen while we were trapped in a pocket dimension...! Fokker: Looks like things are about to start getting ugly... [EYECATCH]
