Episode 28: The Fates Passing Each Other Soldier: “I’m sorry, Master. It’s a country road.” Treize: “My emotions are calmed by this beautiful view of nature. And I’m no longer your master. You shouldn’t care so much for someone who’s already lost the game. Is this place also owned by the Romefeller Foundation?” Soldier: “Yes.” Treize: “// The Romefeller Foundation. A long time ago, they tried to protect this part of nature with their financial resources. That’s why I joined the organization and built the Specials inside of the Earth Area United Federation. However, lying ahead of us, there are those who will stand up for just that. //” Treize: “From the colonies came the Mobile Suit Gundams created from Gundanium. The pilots who had challenged me were excellent fighters.” >WuFei: “My name is WuFei.” >Treize: “My name is Treize Khushrenada. I’ve won.” >WuFei: “Kill me.” Treize: “That strength and pureness of will. Their each move touched my heart, and placed a thrill in me not felt before. As did you too, Zechs Merquise.” >Treize: “You should fight purely for the purpose of doing battle. Release the Sank Kingdom from the Federation.” >Noin: “All the Mobile Suits are gone.” >Zechs: “Good, I’m going too.” >Noin: “Don’t worry about having the Federation on your back. I’ll take care of them while you concentrate on your target.” >Zechs: “I already have.” >Soldier: “That new Mobile Suit is coming in fast. Have all beam cannons fire on that one MS.” >Zechs: “It took thirteen years for me to get to this place. Please forgive me, Father. And for that, many people died. The only way for me truly to live goes against your ideal of absolute pacifism. My hands are covered in blood, I can never succeed as a Peacecraft. But she might be able to. She can succeed as a Peacecraft and carry on the ideal country for my father. I will fight for this. Please forgive me…” Treize: “When we showed up before the face of history, this era was placed on the right track. The only place where war still existed was on Earth. Lady Une, I leave Space to you. Please explain our love to the people of the colonies. They’ll understand us if we talk to them with love.” Une: “After Colony 195, the Earth Area United Federation was destroyed. But a Federation Military Force was still present, and we needed to take them out. We were also to liberate the colonies from the Federation, and grant them their independence. That was my duty. Yes, OZ’s Treize and I were supposed to be done with it all. That was if Dermail didn’t disagree with us. And the Gundam pilots became the witnesses of history.” >Soldier: “Colonel Lady Une, we are receiving a message from Earth. Gundams 02 and 05 are attacking the base at Singapore Space Port.” >Une: “I’ll head back to headquarters immediately.” >Duo: “Quatre, hurry up!” >Quatre: “Don’t worry about me. I’ve decided to back you two up.” >Duo: “You idiot! What are you talking about? We have to go to Space together.” >Quatre: “That’s why I’m backing you up. At the very least, the two of you will make it out to Space.” >Duo: “Quatre! You fool!” >Quatre: “There’s only one thing left to do and that’s to self-destruct. That’s… Are you telling me that I have to get off? Sandrock! Thank you, my Sandrock.” Une: “However, Space, where they were heading, held no praise or applause for them. What did wait for them was loneliness, the symbol of resistance, and a harsh destiny to follow.” Soldier: “I don’t believe you’re allowed to move around freely.” Treize: “This restriction you’re created will become the foundation of power for the next generation of the fallen. However, I feel somewhat free now. I don’t believe I was truly free before. The way I acted before allowed me the opportunity to reflect upon myself. Zechs, it’s as if you’ve overcome the challenge I threw at you and were set free. >Zechs: “Treize, don’t follow in my footsteps. Treize, I can no longer be your friend. Goodbye, Treize!” Treize: “After you left, the Romefeller Foundation completed their Mobile Dolls, which feel neither the beauty nor the sadness of the battle. They are the ones who will conquer Earth from the reaches of Space. I, looking for the purpose of battling with other people, cannot accept this plan. Zechs, OZ will allow the folly of the truly inept to continue to occur in your absence.” >Dermail: “Treize Khushrenada, well done. Space has finally embraced OZ.” >Treize: “Yes, sir.” >Dermail: “Lady Une’s performance is stellar. She’s building friendly alliances with those colonies.” >Treize: “This independence through building a nation in Space creates a sense of productivity and defense.” >Dermail: “And then, they will become a military nation. Then all the countries of Earth will fear them, and look to OZ to take care of them. That’s beautiful, Treize. You have made Space a member of Romefeller.” >Treize: “// The colony is only a fake community. That could be the cause of this false pacifism and will create even more fights. Zechs…no, Milliard… Did you know that? //” >Zechs: “This new power structure made through the annexation of the Space colonies by OZ has had a great impact on Earth. As a representative of one of those countries, I came here to ask you about that…” >Une: “Which country?” >Zechs: “Excuse me. I am from the Sank Kingdom. My name is Milliard Peacecraft.” >Une: “You’re from the Sank Kingdom, which has been a friend to my master ever since he was a child. I’ve been told that you’ve started reorganizing the country, even in this time of war.” >Zechs: “I know first hand what war can do to a country. And I figured I could do something for the Space colonies since they are going to be in the possession of weapons.” >Une: “There are many ways to seek peace. Maybe we will find a better way if we learn together.” >Zechs: “I think we can do some great things together, Lady Une.” Treize: “My beloved Lady, you were right.” Treize: “War will continue as long as humans still exist. To keep from doing battle is not the path towards peace. Fighting is only a part of nature in our world.” >Une: “Master Treize…” Treize: “Zechs and the Gundam pilots are building the future now. Those who fight will be truly happy. It is also true that those who fight cannot be seen as impure. This life is highly respected, and nothing else will be able to substitute for it. The spirits of these soldiers will continue to shine brightly because they fight against all odds, risking their lives.” >Duo: “Let’s all follow me to Hell.” Treize: “Pure and innocent Gundam pilots. From witnessing the courage and strength of will you showed in battle, you created a profound change in me, and provided me insight into a new vision.” >WuFei: “Nataku, we have to be strong if we’re going to succeed in our mission.” Treize: “When those fools from Romefeller stripped away the humanity from this war, I was placed in a position where I had to destroy OZ myself. However, history will rely on them to forge this new era. What is it these young ones see beyond the confusing darkness?” Une: “Young ones who fight, and will change the world…” >Une: “Master Treize wishes for the fight to go on. There is nothing left but the fight. If we don’t fight, we will achieve nothing.” >Zechs: “What? Treize?” >Treize: “Zechs Merquise…no, my eternal friend, Milliard Peacecraft. OZ is changing. My power is no longer sufficient. The way of Romefeller, no, the will of the people is always changing. I would never have thought that their power would have left the people behind. Milliard, I no longer have the strength to change the direction Romefeller has chosen to take. I’m glad to be able to talk to someone who really understands me. There is one other person who understands me as well.” >Une: “To achieve this ideal, I shall fight for Treize.” >Zechs: “Treize, I don’t have any strength left either. I can only be a toy soldier in this chaotic war.” >Une: “Take me to Bulgi, immediately.” Une: “At the time, I saw the truth that merely fighting was not the only way to achieve his ideal. I believe Master Treize wanted to tell me this.” >Heero: “You’ve failed your mission. We couldn’t destroy the base or kill the scientists either.” >Duo: “Don’t say that. All this was worth coming here. Listen, both yours and mine are being upgraded right now. I want to see it now… I shall become Shinigami once again. Well then, goodnight.” Treize: “Although they’ve lost their reason to fight for the colonies, and lost the support of the people, those Gundam pilots will continue fighting.” >Trowa: “Quatre, what’s going on?” >Quatre: “Trowa, I will destroy everything that’s gone insane in Space. I want you to tell everyone. Don’t let anyone come near me. I told you, don’t come any closer!” Treize: “What strength of will. What purity of spirit! We are enemies, but what we’re looking for in this war is the same thing.” >Quatre: “Goodbye, Heero.” >Heero: “Trowa, get out of there. The Vayeate is exploding.” >Quatre: “Trowa… Trowa!” >Trowa: “I have to accept it. We’ve become unnecessary soldiers.” >Quatre: “Trowa!” >Treize: “Dermail, I don’t think I agree with the direction the Romefeller Foundation is heading in. I don’t believe that an absolute victory is what the human race needs. I believe that the fighting itself and the attitude that comes from it are what we need. The Romefeller Foundation will be using Mobile Dolls, which don’t have any emotion or feeling about what happens. This era you have built should be called the Civilization of Shame. This tradition you hold so dear will fade before the soldiers who are pure in spirit.” >Quatre: “Heero… Heero!” >Dermail: “That means that Romefeller Headquarters had better take the control of OZ from your hands. We cannot kill you; you’ve done so many things for us. I will have you confined to Romefeller HQ.” Une: “Then, I’ve made up my mind. To continue to watch them in the battlefield and to love them.” >Tsubarov: “I don’t understand it.” >Une: “That’s why we’re enemies, you and I.” >Duo: “Shall we escape?” >WuFei: “After we get some payback.” Treize: “My dearest Lady Une, whom I love. Rest in peace. Among the stars, so many fates cross and pass each other. My own thoughts and ideas will be left behind in the continuance of time. Operation Nova. The Romefeller Foundation will not tolerate soldiers who rebel to follow me. And to conquer Earth, they’ve mass-produced the Mobile Doll Virgo. However, I do not have the right to say anything about this move. >Quatre: “Okay. Heero. Let’s go to Earth.” Sally: “There it is. What was he thinking of when he threw this Gundam away? Heero, this Mobile Suit will usher in a new era of MS technology.” Treize: “Before I can start the third chapter, the actors have to be chosen. And now, we can only wait for the curtain to open.” Une: “Yes, everything is for Master Treize.”
