Episode 48Episode 48: Attack Into Chaos [Dorothy shoots pistol from Quatre's hand] Quatre: [holding hand] Now isn't the time to fight! It's too hazardous to stay on this ship any longer! Dorothy: Quatre Raberba Winner.... exactly as I thought.... Out of all the Gundam pilots... you're the one who's most misunderstood. Episode 48 - Sally into Confusion [Fighting] Wufei: [destroying Virgos] Get out of my way! [Treize comes closer] Wufei: He's here... [Treize aims @ Alt-long. Wufei dodges, fires back, but misses.] Treize: What are you shooting at? I'm over here. Wufei: Shut up! Treize: Once there was a time when fights were finished with the touch of a button. The embodiment of that blasphemy is the Mobile Dolls and their directors, the Libra. If you take humanity out of the equation, victory and defeat will become something deplorable. God will not reach out his hand to either side. Wufei: How dare you use your pretty speeches on me! The battles have spread because of you and many have died! I alone should be a satisfactory opponent! Treize: You're right. [Tallgeese II drops gun, pulls out beam sabre] Wufei: Are you ready? Treize: Of course, but I won't make any allowances this time! Wufei: Forget that! Treize: Hn. [Trowa, in Heavyarms] Trowa: Until now, I've resisted death innumerable times. Let me do so once more. [In an airlock] Duo: What now? J: First off, conduct us to Peacemillion. Duo: Peacemillion? G:The way things are going are just as Zechs has planned. We have to reach the Peacemillion and alter it's course. Duo: As Zechs planned-? He can't- J: That's right. He's dead set on targetting the earth. The remuneration of our sins will be accomplished if we can stop this. Duo: Gotcha... Follow me. [Libra's Bridge] Quinze: Are the wave course prognosis ready? WF-1: Yes. We will hit the earth on our present course. There is a 69% probability that we'll hit one of the northern hemisphere continents. On our present course, we will hit the earth. The energy that will be discharged is proximated at around 6,000 megatons. Quinze: There you are, Commander Milliard. Zechs: That's more than enough. Quinze. If Peacemillion and Libra are dropped on that blue planet, the seasons will terminate and a long winter will descend. Quinze: But this calculation is based on the fact that the Peacemillion's engines are completely inoperative. Zechs: The Peacemillion was my ship, once. She'll understand what it is that I want. Quinze: Yes... Noin: Can we expect the Gundams to understand as well? Zechs: Idiot. Of course, they'll stand in my way. Noin: You're waiting for them? Zechs: They follow a course different than justice or making an appearance. They are war professionals... and I, Zechs Merquis. Noin: Yes.... [Peacemillion's Hangar] [Relena blocks hatch so Heero can't close it] Relena: Wait, Heero! Why do you have to go? The Libra will sink. There isn't any more reason to fight! My brother, Milliard Peacecraft, and the White Fangs have lost! Heero: Zechs believes otherwise and it seems that Zechs and Treize have no intentions of calling a halt to this war. I have to go. Relena: Do you mean that the war will end if you go out? Heero: I will eradicate Zechs, then Treize. The war will end, and if you survive, peace will come. This is the single thing I can do for you. Relena: Heero.... Heero: I promised to protect you... to protect you and the earth sphere. The only way I can do that is to fight. Relena: That's- Heero: Let me go.... Relena: No! No! You plan on dying, don't you? [Heero lowers Relena's faceplate] Heero: Trust me. [Pushes Relena away Zero] Relena: [drifting away] Heero?! [Zero starts, gets ready to launch. Relena grabs railing.] Relena: Heero... I trust you. Heero: Farewell, Relena. Relena: Huh?! [Zero launches] Relena: Heero?! [Libra - MD Control Room] [Dorothy puts on helmet and MD System starts] Quatre: This room.... Dorothy: ...is the Mobile Doll control room. Quatre: No... this place feels like the Zero System. Dorothy: That's correct. The Zero system and the Mobile Doll controls are directly connected. You should know then that the Mobile Dolls are under the control of my fighting will now. [Throws a fencing foil at Quatre] Quatre: What are you saying? Dorothy: Duel with me, Quatre Winner. In a straight Zero-System fight, I lost; but I wonder about this time. You decided to fight of your own free will didn't you? Quatre: I'd rather not if it's at all possible but if I don't you won't surrender and this war won't end. Dorothy: That's correct! Let's see which is superior, unenhanced human reflexes or Zero System optimized. Quatre: And if I won't agree? [Dodges Dorothy's attack, grabs fencing foil] Quatre: Why do you love war? Why are you going so far as to do this? Dorothy: Gentle Quatre... why do you fight? Quatre: My family! I must fight to keep them from being sad! Dorothy: My father also fought and died to keep me from feeling sad so I will die fighting beautifully as well! Quatre: Then you ought to hate war! Dorothy: No! Catastrophe and murder can't be blamed on war! We must overpower the enemy that lays within our hearts! Quatre: I believe peace is more powerful than war! I believe in those who want peace! Dorothy: I ask you; you say that you fight for the people... What have they done for you in return? Quatre: I'm not in this for the gain. Dorothy: That's why you're so stupid! [Quatre shoves Dorothy into a wall] Quatre: Please stop, Dorothy. Dorothy: [laughing] The colonies betrayed the Gundams. The colonists killed your father! And, understanding nothing, they declared their independence! Everything that you've fought for has been for nothing! The consequence of worrying for others, the result of too much consideration for others, that's what has lead to this horrible state of affairs! Quatre: ...... [Shuttle leaving the Peacemillion] Howard: Is everyone aboard? PM-1: We're fine. Howard: All right.... heading for MO-II Relena: Heero... please reply! Heero.... Sally: You'll intervene with his fight if you continue. Relena: But.... Heero plans on dying! [Wing Gundam] Relena: [speaker] Heero, please reply. [Heero switches channel off] Heero: Don't worry about me, Relena. Life comes cheaply; especially mine. [Libra] [Heavyarms hurries forward. Virgos appear before him.] Trowa: Wait for me, Quatre. [DS-Hell pops up behind them and cuts short the fighting.] Duo: Yo, Trowa. Sorry I was so violent! I can't stay and help you. Trowa: No... that was more than enough. [Heavyarms goes on.] Duo: Is that so? Well then... don't die. Trowa: You, too, Duo.... [Heavyarms reaches a dead end. Trowa continues on foot.] [DS-Hell & scientists watching Peacemillion]. Duo: You psyched up yet? J: Only one of us has to succeed in reaching Peacemillion! If one of us is thrown off don't worry about it. Duo: Yeah, I won't, 'cause I don't have that kind of time. [Raises faceplate, prepares to go.] Duo: Here goes! [DS-Hell cuts a path through surrounding mobile suits.] Duo: No idiot would want to smashthrough this! I shouldn't have found them... Hey, hey!!! Death and Pestilence, coming through! [Explosions ahead of him] Duo: What the...? [The Maguanacs arrive.] Rashid: Leave this to us! Duo: [jetting by] Sorry! I'll just have to let you. We never brought everyone together. All of earth seems to have joined. Is it because of that girl? Or..... Rashid: All right, you men! No one dies until we're reunited with Master Quatre! [Various agreements.] [Libra - MD Control room] Dorothy: You can't or won't? But I won't hold back! That compassion! That sweetness! That consideration! They're the cause of your ruination! [Dorothy disarms Quatre] Quatre: That may be true but this is the only way I can fight. Even in losing the battle, I'm satisfied that the colonies weren't drawn into it! Dorothy: Nothing will change! Quatre: What else should I have done then? [Dorothy raises foil] Dorothy: You should have become the leader of the colonies and fought on equal terms, like Milliard-sama! Quatre: Dorothy! That's not- [Dorothy stabs Quatre!] Dorothy: Show humanity a war so lamentable that they would have no wish to see its like ever again! Quatre: Is that... what this battle is about? Dorothy: That's right! Taking away all the weapons won't stop wars. You have to change the hearts of the people, otherwise they'll be destroyed like my fater. Quatre: You're... more kind... than me.... Dorothy: It doesn't make me any happier just because you say that! This compassion is just a deterrant to living! People should only have to worry about staying alive. Quatre: Dorothy.... You're like me.... hating fighting... but never able to exonerate yourself for your gentleness.... but... you can't deny your gentle nature.... Trowa has taught me that.... you have to accept everything.... humanity needs that quality... or else... there is no reason to exist.... isn't that so? The remaining humans... would be no better than animals...... [Quatre falls, unconscious] [Treize and Wufei] Treize: What's the matter? Why don't you use your dragon? Wufei: I just want to fight you fair and square! Treize: That isn't like you at all! Are you holding back? Wufei: And you? Why didn't you kill me back then? Treize: I couldn't kill one of the few who could understand me. Wufei: [angry] Don't mock me! I hate you! Treize: Then don't hold back! Wufei: You just look down on other people! You're only here to fight for your ego! How many people do you think have died for your sake? Treize: Would you like me to tell you? [Wufei looks surprised] Treize: As of yesterday, 99,822 people. Wufei: [shocked] What?! Treize: Lady.... what is the current death toll? Une: Confirmed presently, 82 on the White Fang side and 105 on our side. Treize: [contemplative, perhaps sad] Is that so. You must tell me their names later. Une: Yes. Understood. Wufei: [shaken] You-! Treize: The people who have been forfeited are all imprinted in my mind. Novende, Septem.. Bente, Dorian, Walker. Otto, Bunto... I can't forget all of them. Wufei: [still stunned] People like you..... Treize: I can do nothing by exalting the dead. But I want you to know this much: they did not die in vain. And now!! [Treize flies towards Wufei, beam sword raised. Wufei reacts, bringing staff forward and impaling Tallgeese.] Treize: That was glorious, Wufei.... Wufei: Treize! You- Treize: Everyone must compensate for their sins. Even my death is not devoid of meaning. Wufei... my eternal friend.... I'm honoured to have fought you all... Wufei: This... this... I won't accept this! Treize: Milliard... I'm going on ahead of you.... [Tallgeese explodes] Wufei: [crying] Shit! He quit while he was still ahead! [MO-II] [Lady Une wilts, disheartened] Oz-1: Captain Une... Captain... your orders? Une: Inform White Fang of the Earth's Nations surrender. Oz-1: Captain?! Une: Don't make me repeat those disgraceful words again. Hurry and compose the message! [quietly] You were glorious, Treize-sama. [Libra] [Dorothy removes her helmet] Dorothy: This is fine... this.... Quinze: There you are, Dorothy. Dorothy: Huh?! Quinze: We just received word. The earth has surrendered. Dorothy: [stunned] Surrendered?! Quinze: Alos a message that Treize has died in combat at the hands of a cunning opponent. Dorothy: T-that's inconceivable! Quinze: Victory is ours but we won't cancel the drop. Those are Commander Milliard's orders. Quinze: [comm-channel] Initializing final thrust. Evacuate under your own judgment. I pray for your safety. [Libra - MD Room] Trowa: Looks as though your desires were overcome. Dorothy: I- Trowa: That's so sad... a woman who can't weep. [Shuttle] Sally: The earth has accepted their defeat?! Relena: What?! Howard: But that won't be enough. White Fang still plans to drop the Peacemillion and the Libra on the earth. Relena: Let's go back. We should be able to stop it. Howard: Impossible Relena: We can't be sure unless we at least try! Sally: There's only one person who can manage the impossible.... Relena: Heero? Sally: Yes but there isn't any way to inform him of this. Relena: Let's go to him. Howard: Can't do that. We've used all the power in the propulsion system. [Relena turns to go] Sally: Relena! Relena: I'll go by myself! Someone: Wait! Relena: L-let got of me! Heero! Heeeero!!!! [Epyon stands on top of the Libra] Zechs: He's finally here. [Something approaches - Wing Zero] Return
