W-Why?
Why do you look like me?
Because we share the same DNA.
Sequence Pattern Type 0988.
Could it be... that you're...
An Innovator. Regene Regetta.
An Innovator...
That's right.
There's a voice in my head...
A telepathic ability made possible by quantum brain waves, using GN particles as a catalyst.
Using it to create a direct link with Veda.
Suppressing aging through the use of genetic engineering and nano-machines.
Our existence is essential to Aeolia Schenberg's plan.
Could it be you weren't aware there were others like you?
It seems that since you're a Gundam Meister, Veda has limited your access to information.
It can't be...
Then I'll inform you.
The first stage of the plan is to use Celestial Being's armed interventions to begin the unification of the world.
The second stage is to use the A-Laws to unify the will of humanity.
And the third stage is to advance the human race into outer space,
and prepare them for the upcoming dialogue.
That is the full scope of Aeolia's plan.
Yes. We, who have adapted to the conditions of life in space,
will be the ones to lead the human race to a new frontier.
Seriously... doing something so unnecessary.
That damned Allelujah...
going and messing up his suit like Setsuna.
On top of that, he brought his girlfriend back with him?
Unbelievable...
Girlfriend...
Are you lonely, Saji? Are you lonely, Saji?
Yeah... maybe a little.
That Marie girl is from the Super Soldier Organization, right?
Is it okay for her to be on the ship?
We've done a brief check on her.
And besides, Allelujah needs it.
Needs what?
A reason for fighting.
Sorry to be so blunt,
but are the two of you lovers?
My woman's intuition was correct!
So Klaus and the others arrived safely...
But...
"The reorganization of the Middle East with the Federation government taking the initiative."
"The dismantlement of Azadistan."
Marina Ismail...
Princess Marina...
You kids...
Please cheer up.
We'll give you this.
Thank you...
Regene Regetta...
In order to guide the human race to a new stage, we need to start a big wave.
Yes. A wave by the name of reform.
So I should sit around and watch the A-Laws go about their despicable actions?!
Reform and grief go together.
You did the exact same thing.
You are an obstacle to Aeolia's plan.
We were created for that plan.
Our raison d'être is to execute the plan,
and see it through to completion.
You are denying your own existence.
Tieria Erde, let's guide the human race together.
As Innovators alike...
You don't need to rush your answer.
I'll come to see you again.
Because you and I are always connected...
Innovators... those who execute the plan.
If that is true, then the path that I should take is...
Quit stereotyping yourself like that.
Stop complaining and just do it.
Just take a chance and do whatever you feel like.
We were entrusted with the Gundams by old man Aeolia, you know.
Lockon...
Feldt.
I never introduced her properly.
She'll be living with us on the Ptolemy from now on—
Soma Peries.
She fought us four years ago, as a pilot in the UN Forces.
Feldt...
Some of us died in that battle.
Christina...
Licht...
Mr. Moreno...
and... Lockon Stratos!
I-I...
Please wait.
Feldt, Marie is...
I know! It isn't her fault!
But... I... had to say it!
Feldt!
I'm so sorry, Marie.
But for Feldt, the crew on this ship is just like family,
and this place is everything to her.
Lieutenant Peries died in battle.
Even if Colonel Smirnov was the one to report it...
Sorry to bother you.
I have something to ask of you, Colonel.
Could you please entrust me with this suit?
Entrust a Warrant Officer such as yourself with the custom Ahead?
I'll prove myself on the battlefield.
And by avenging the Lieutenant!
No.
There's no way I can approve something like that.
That sounds fine to me.
I shall report it to Brigadier General Goodman.
Thank you very much!
I don't mean to ask you for something in return, but I have a special mission for you.
Special mission?
Major, this is...
Take 2nd Lt. Smirnov with you, as an escort.
If we're short two pilots in a situation like this, our mobile suit squadron will be...
I've already arranged for replacement pilots.
Apparently, a new model that surpasses the Ahead is also on its way.
What?
Oh, yes...
It seems there's a man amongst the replacements that you know very well, Colonel.
To think that I would end up enrolling in the A-Laws...
So this is the new model...
Colonel!
I'm here!
That man...
The Middle East Reorganization Plan is currently the top priority for the Earth Sphere Federation,
which strives for complete unification.
The conflicting nations that have clashed over ethnicities and religion
have had their borders secured by the Federation military.
They will stabilize the situation.
Additionally, where domestic conflicts are concerned,
the relocation of certain conflicting ethnic groups to space colonies is being taken into consideration.
Hey hey, this woman is talking nonsense.
Nevertheless, the general public will probably accept it.
Why?
Because they won't be bothered by it.
Between the solar energy system, the space elevator project, and the development of colonies,
the economy of the Federation government is secure.
Thanks to those assets, the standard of living for Federation citizens improves,
whilst rebel activity is held in check by the A-Laws and the FSA.
No problems, so no harm done.
There won't be a single complaint.
But in the midst of that, there are people losing their lives one-sidedly.
I can't think of a world like that as being just.
It's the guy who created the A-Laws.
He's the one who started it all.
The second stage is to use the A-Laws to unify the will of humanity.
Innovators...
Feldt...
I'm sorry.
I'm no good, am I?
Even if I think I have to shape up, I start wanting to dote on everyone because they're so nice...
It's fine that way.
We're all family after all.
How much dumber can you be?!
I told you many times not to get involved with the A-Laws!
I applied to the A-Laws out of my own will.
It was because I wish to protect you, Colonel.
If you're here, you'll end up fighting the Gundams.
You'll end up dying.
Not to split hairs,
but I've participated in seven Gundam battles, and I've lived through them all.
My friends have nicknamed me, "Colasour the Tenacious."
They're just making fun of you!
Oh, really?!
They got me there!
Honestly...
It's tough to be popular, isn't it?!
He really is too much.
I've finished the makeshift repairs for the 00 and the Arios.
But besides that, good news!
Apparently, two support units have been completed.
I want to return to space to perfect the Twin Drive,
and to make some adjustments.
Understood.
Mileina, could you take charge of maintenance in Ian's absence?
Yes, ma'am!
There's an encrypted transmission from Wang Liu Mei.
Play it.
Everyone, I have obtained decisive information that the A-Laws' top brass,
who have never shown themselves in public, are attending a party of the business community.
I will send the results of the investigation at a later—
I will take part in the reconnaissance as well.
Tieria?
I wish to see the true enemy with my own eyes.
There's a possibility that the enemy knows our identities as well...
I'll go as backup.
I guess it can't be helped...
But in return, you'll have to follow my instructions.
Was that okay?
Yes, that was quite sufficient.
Ms. Feldt...
I apologize for the other day.
I got too emotional...
No, it's okay...
Well then...
Umm...
You really treasure everybody here, don't you?
They're my family.
To think that the suit was damaged due to the amount of particles emitted by the Twin Drive...
But we'd have that covered if we had the 0 Riser.
No. It would turn it into a suit that outstrips any existing Gundam.
H-Hey!
Wang Liu Mei...
She became the head of the Wang family at a young age of 15...
What dazzling beauty...
I wonder where they are?
I wonder if that was Ms. Sumeragi's suggestion?
Mistress, over there...
Homer Katagiri.
He is the head of the A-Laws' development team.
I'm Billy Katagiri.
Ah, so you are the commander's nephew.
I hear that you are very talented.
Oh, not at all...
So that's the A-Laws' commander.
But, he's not completely in charge...
Where is the true enemy?
Where...
Regene's selfish actions are really a pain.
I would have preferred to let him stumble around for a while...
Why did you invite me to such a party?
You are the head of the Halevy family, the A-Laws' biggest investors.
The people gathered here today
have committed themselves to the realization of permanent peace brought about by a unified world.
I need their cooperation.
Of course, in order to defeat the Gundams, as well.
May I return to work after I finish my greetings?
Of course.
Also...
It would seem strange to call this a returned favor,
but I have made arrangements for Soma Peries's Ahead to become your new suit.
Thank you very much.
Do you have an acquaintance within the VIPs?
I've got a small connection...
Is there a problem?
N-No. Not at all.
That's a wonderful hobby.
Thank you very much.
Please let me escort you next time.
Yes, I'd love that!
Damned trash clinging to the power of the Federation government and seeking concessions...
It's almost time...
Regene Regetta...
Pardon me.
My name is Ribbons Almark. Nice to meet you.
May I have this dance?
So that guy is...
It's a rare vacation.
You should enjoy it more.
I'm not interested in things like that.
That man...
How lovely.
I had no idea that you would appear in such a manner.
They know that the Meisters are male.
I just followed the commands of our strategic analyst.
Umm...
You... were in Japan...
It's Louise Halevy, Setsuna F Seiei.
You remembered?
It's such an uncommon name.
Were you the one who sent Regene Regetta after me?
Of course not.
I'm being twisted around by his mischief as well.
I heard that you are carrying out Aeolia Schenberg's plan.
Is it not plausible?
If so, I can return them to you right away.
Your access rights to Veda.
Access rights?!
Are you trying to tell me that you have control of them?
How about a change of location?
Where are you going?
I'm going back to work.
I have to hurry with the development of the new models, don't I?
Hey, why are you here?
I'm here for work.
What kind of work?
It has to do with the space elevators.
I see.
Hey... is he doing well?
"He"?
You know... the guy who used to live next door to you.
Are you talking about Saji Crossroad?
Yeah...
I ran into him by chance in the past through work.
Really?
Yeah.
He was working at a colony.
So is it true that you have control over Veda?
You should clearly remember it.
C-Could it be?!
The override on the Trial System used against the Thrones was...
Which means that the one who handed the fake GN Drives to the UN forces was also...
Why?!
Because the destruction of Celestial Being was part of the plan as well.
You were all supposed to have perished four years ago.
It can't be...
I see, so Saji went to space...
His dreams came true, then...
Your arm...
Oh, it was from an accident.
Because of you all...
the person I love was hurt...
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to pry.
It's okay. Don't worry about it.
That can't be true!
They were entrusted to us by Aeolia Schenberg...
the Gundams...
the GN Drives...
the Trans-Am system...
When I met Saji Crossroad...
When I met him, I thought...
"Even now, he still loves you..."
What's wrong?!
Warrant Officer!
I, who was entrusted with a Gundam by Aeolia,
think that you are all mistaken.
Yes.
I will walk the path I believe in!
Even if I am branded as a fool for it, I will walk it daringly!
What happened?
I don't know.
She was in pain all of a sudden, and...
Y-You're...
Celestial Being!
I see you were influenced by humans more than I had thought.
You trusted that man far too much.
Lockon Stratos, that is.
A foolish human who prioritized avenging his family over executing the plan.
You bastard!
Healing Care.
I'm an Innovator.
This young man is a member of Celestial Being!
Security!
Are you all right, Warrant Officer?
Warrant Officer... you're...
Even while Aeolia Schenberg was developing a three-stage plan,
he adhered to the first stage, the eradication of war.
Ribbons Almark's plan...
...or Celestial Being's ideals...
No matter what, the world will change.
Sorry, that was my mistake.
But we found it, Setsuna.
The distortion in this world...
Yes.
With the Gundams, we will annihilate the distortion in this world!
But contrary to your anticipation!
That Gundam is...
a Throne variant?
C-Could it be?!
Now, how about we start this?!
A tremendous war between Gundams!
In a time when our vision of the future is clouded by our memories,
what do people think?
Next time: "Unerasable Past."
Once we realize it, even tomorrow is within our memories...
