NEXT SCENE Area 11 - Tokyo Consolidation - Apartment - Entryway

-Setsuna :...

-Saji : Oh , It's you!

-Setsuna : Saji Crossroad.

-Saji : That's right! You remembered my name.

-Setsuna :....

-Saji : You don't seem to be in your room much. Do you go to school?

-Setsuna : No. I have work.

-Saji : I see. Oh right, I'll be away for the next week.

-Saji : I passed my Academy exam, so I'm going on a study trip to space.

-Setsuna : Space…

NEXT SCENE Space - High orbit ring area - Ptolemaios - Bridge

-Sumeragi : Ah, drinking in space feels so much better.

-Chris : You only just got back and you're already drinking!?

-Sumeragi : Don't be so serious. Nothing is better than having a drink while watching the Earth

-Allelujah : Sumeragi… You've been talking about it all day on Earth.

-Lasse : Good work down there, Allelujah.

-Lichty : You've had to deal with a lot, and then those Invaders have also appeared.

-Allelujah : Still, we managed thanks to our new allies. They're a little strange, but that's not a big problem.

-Feldt : Now we have people who will help us.

-Allelujah : However they each seem to have some secrets.

-Sumeragi : We'll have to work out a plan with Veda to be flexible in that area.

-Allelujah : So that's why you returned to space.

-Chris : It must be tiring for you to have to act as her bodyguard straight after fighting.

-Allelujah : Not really. It's a nice change of pace from all the noise back on Earth.

-Allelujah : Although sometimes I feel like space is too quiet, It's unsettling.

-Sumeragi : (Allelujah… I don't know, maybe it's the scars from his past that make him think that…)

NEXT SCENE Human Reform League - Chinese Federation - Chongqing Base - Hangar

-Sergei : I am Colonel Sergei Smirnov, commander of the dedicated anti-Gundam unit. As of today, I will be your superior officer.

-Peiries : I'm Second Lieutenant Soma Peiries of Superhuman Research Institute.

-Sergei : (Superhuman… The project to create the strongest soldiers by enhancing and modifying their bodies with nanomachines…)

-Sergei : (I didn't think that project was still going on in secret...)

-Peiries : What’s wrong, Colonel?

-Sergei : Oh, by the way, you never said why you volunteered for the Superhuman Institute.

-Peiries : I didn't volunteer. I am a designer baby created for the super soldier program.

-Sergei : Really…

-Peiries :....

-Sergei : Well for your first assignment I'd like you to test our new model, the Tieren Taozi in Zero G environment.

-Sergei : I've been told it was designed to handle the reaction time of super soldiers.

-Peiries : Tieran Taozi… My own Mobile Suit.

-Sergei : Our trump card against the Gundams…

NEXT SCENE Sea of Japan - Dragon Island - Dragon’s Hive - Salon

-Aoi :...

-Ruri : So Aoi… Have you had any problems lately?

-Aoi : Not particularly.

-Ruri : Is that so…

-Aoi : Still I'm suprised. I didn't know you were a psychotherapist.

-Ruri : Yes. My role is to provide you with emotional support.

-Ruri : That's why we have regular one on one sessions.

-Aoi : You were meeting with Tieria before me, how did that go?

-Ruri : The content of counseling meetings is confidential.

-Aoi : Hmm… Well I can probably guess.

-Aoi : "This is Celestial Being's mission" "As a Gundam Meister, It's my duty" "I follow Veda's order”. Something like that?

-Ruri : Lockon and Allelujah were friendly enough to talk to me.

-Ruri : But, Allelujah is…

-Aoi : Something wrong with that nice guy?

-Ruri : No… It's nothing…

-Aoi : How is Crowe? I remember he's been asking for personal advice.

-Ruri : I feel bad, but I couldn't help him with his debts.

-Aoi : What about his problem with women?

-Ruri : I can't talk about that.

-Aoi : It's a matter of privacy… You've met with the Getter team, right? How did it go there?

-Ruri : All three of them passed up on my offer. They said they didn't need it.

-Aoi : Makes sesne. No point in trying to deal with beasts like them anyway.

-Ruri : Are you curious about the others?

-Aoi : Ah…

-Ruri : You dont usually show interest in other people.

-Aoi : Now that you meantion it, I guess that was a little out of character for me…

-Ruri : If you'd like, we can talk a little bit about that?

-Aoi : Sorry. I don't think I need counseling either.

-Ruri : Aoi…

-Aoi : Now if you'll excuse me. See ya.

-Ruri :....

-Ruri : Aoi, Kurara, Sakuya, Johnny… None of the Team D members have opened up to me.

-Ruri : But, I’m… I think. It felt like there was a beast inside them waiting to get out, maybe even fiercer than the Getter team's.

-Setsuna : Ruri Riruri… I was told to come here.

-Ruri : I've been waiting for you, Setsuna. Let's begin the counseling.

-Ruri :(Setsuna F. Seiei… He might be the one person in Celestial being I need to figure out the most)

-Setsuna :...

NEXT SCENE Dragon’s Hive - Command Room

-Musashi : It looks like that drunk lady and the guy with the fancy haircut are missing.

-Lockon : You mean Sumeragi and Allelujah? They went into space.

-Hayato : You guys have a base up there?

-Tieria : That's classified.

-Ryoma : So we're being treated like outsiders. That's not great.

-Tanaka : Now now, Ryoma. We and Celestial Beings are both private organisations.

-Tanaka : So we agreed not to pry too deeply into each other's affairs.

-Ryoma : That may be true but still...

-Sakuya : You guys turned down RuriRuri's counseling, so you're the same.

-Hayato : That's true. In which case we'll stop asking questions.

-Hayato : We haven't known eachother that long anyway, I don't think there's much point in getting too friendly.

-Musashi : Just so you know, it was out of the kindness of our hearts that we turned down the little lady's offer for counseling.

-Musashi : If she heard Ryoma's story, she'd probably lose it.

-Ryoma : Don't make me laugh. You're just like me.

-Crowe : Great… Listening to you guys makes my debt feel unimportant.

-Ryoma : If you've been stuck with a debt, ill teach how to kick it out of your way

-Hayato : I can teach you how to make some easy money if you want. But it wont be clean or pretty.

-Crowe : No thank you. When it comes to money, It's one of my principles to keep clean.

-Johnny : Well, he's a hero facing a threat to humanity, so he should be.

-Kurara : It seems that there is one person here who isn't happy about this.

-Tieria : Veda approved our alliance so I will abide by it.

-Tieria : However there are some things I refuse to compromise on.

-Aoi : Some things?

-Tieria : Things like attempting to pry into Celestial Being's secrets.

-Hayato : In other words, you'll abandon people being attacked by Invaders, If it's to protect your secrets

-Ryoma : Tch… That's ridiculous.

-Tieria : What?

-Ryoma : What's the point of ending war again? Pretty sure it's for the people.

-Hayato : If you abandon those people just to try to protect your secrets, I'd say I'd say you arent measuring up.

-Tieria : Sometimes you have to turn a blind eye to a few sacrifices to accomplish your goals.

-Ryoma : And how much is a few? Are you measuring the value of lives with numbers!?

-Tieria : It doesn't matter what you think! You don't know anything about Celestial Being!

-Lockon : That's enough, Tieria. Ryoma and Hayato have a point.

-Crowe : Let's not argue about hypotheticals. When the time comes, you will have to make that decision even if you don't want to.

-Aoi :....

-Tieria : Do you have something to say Aoi?

-Aoi : Yeah. Why are you so obsessed with Vedas’ decisions?

-Tieria : Because they decide what Celestial Being needs to accomplish its goals.

-Aoi : Okay then how about this one, why do you want to end all war?

-Tieria : I don't have to answer that.

-Aoi : Okay then. What are you planning to do after you end all war?

-Tieria : I told you, I don't have to answer you.

-Aoi : I bet you said the same things during Ruri's councelling

-Kurara : That's unsuual, Aoi. I can't believe you're showing so much interest in someone else's life.

-Aoi :...

-Sakuya : You know, the same can be said for you. You're showing interest in Aoi too.

-Johnny : And the same can be said for what you just said Sakuya.

-Kurara : Me showing interest in someone...

-Sakuya : I'm not like that either…

-Tanaka : (Hmm… I'm seeing a slight change in Team D as they are starting to open up to eachother.

-Tanaka : (Maybe they'll be the ones to open the door to Dancouga Nova.)

NEXT SCENE Battle Map

-HRL Soldier : It's incredibly powerful, the Tieren Taozi…

-Sergei : Yeah.

-HRL Soldier : The pilot Second Lieutenant Peiries, is a super soldier.

-Sergei : But she's still a girl…

-HRL Soldier : Commander! There are ships entering this space!

-Sergei : What!?

-Sergei : A private shuttle. It would seem they're not hostile..

-HRL Soldier : Sir, we have a transmission from the pilot. The ship is carrying students from the Space Training Academy back to Earth.

-HRL Soldier : They were forced to enter this space in order to avoid a Dimensional Boundary Distorion during their journey.

-HRL Soldier : There's a new model being tested here right now. In the interest of confidentiality, this is…

-Sergei : There's no need to go that far. Once they're in safe space, we can have them erase their records.

-Saji : It looks like we made it… When I heard about the possibility of a dimensional quake, I didn't feel like we’d survive it.

-Louise : Hah! In a situation like this, it's a man's job to tell you that he'll protect you no matter what!

-Saji : Hehe… I'm sorry I didn't do more.

-Louise : But I forgive you. You were holding my hand the whole time.

-Saji : That's about all I could do.

-Louise : But I'm glad you're here. We could see the Earth from space.

-Saji : Yeah. The orbital ring looks beautiful from here.

-Saji : And you can't see any of the fighting on the surface from up here either

-Louise : You want to work in space in the future, right?

-Saji : Yes. That's why I'm studying space engineering in school.

-Louise : Hey, I'll be there when you…

-Peiries : Ah!

-Peiries""" : W-What… This feeling…!?

-Sergei : Something wrong, Second Lieutenant?

-Peiries : Colnel! What is… My head… It hurts! Ahh!

-Sergei : Second Lieutenant!

-Peiries : Ah! Someone's trying to get inside my head Who are you!?

NEXT SCENE Ptolemaios - Briefing Room

-Allelujah : W-What!? My head! What is this headache!?

-??? : Shit! Who the hell is this! You can't just waltz into my head without permission!!

-??? : I'll kill you!!

-Chris : Allelujah, come to the bridge.

-??? : What's going on?

-Chris : Invaders have appeared near the new Human Reform League test site we're monitoring.

-Chris : Sumeragi's working on a plan to deal with it, but we need you here.

-??? : Hehe… I'm sorry for their loss. Those monsters are about to go extinct!

-Allelujah : (Hallelujah…!)

-??? : Don’t worry, Allelujah!

-Allelujah : (There's a civilian shuttle out there.)

-??? : !

-Allelujah : (Please stop! We can't go out like this!)

NEXT SCENE Battle Map

-Peiries : Ahh!

-Sergei : I have to…! We need to retrieve Taozi!

-HRL Soldier : Understood!

-Sergei : What!?

-Sergei : Those are Invaders!

-Sergei : That civilian ship has lost an engine!

-Peiries : Gah! Ahh!!

-Sergei : The Lietenant has lost control! She can't fight like that!

-Peiries : Gah! Coming closer… It's coming!

-Sergei : It’s a Gundam!

-Sergei : It's protecting the civilians…

-Allelujah : I know what it's like to be adrift in space.

-Allelujah : However!

-Peiries : You…! Get out of my head!

-Sergei : No, Lieutenant! Intercepting the invaders is our priority right now!

-Peiries : Gah! Gundam!

-Allelujah : Don't come any closer! Get away… Get away!!

-Hallelujah : (Shut up, Allelujah. Let me take over. )

-Allelujah : !

-Hallelujah : (I'm going to get rid of that annoying pink bastard and all those monsters.)

-Allelujah : It is useless… You…

-Hallelujah : Don't mess with me!

-Peiries : W-What!?

-Hallelujah : That's too bad. Now that I'm out here, a headache ain't gonna stop me.

-Hallelujah : You've been messing with my quantum brain waves this whole time! I know you're one of us!

-Hallelujah : Yeah, you're just like me! Our bodies are modified and our brains are scrambled! We're freaks!"!

-Peiries : This guy!

-Sergei : Tch… I don't know if I can go any further, we need to regroup.

-Sergei : Second Lieutenant! Hold out until reinforcements arrive! Prioritize the civilians safety!!

-Peiries : Gundam! Who are you!?

-Hallelujah : It looks like I'm the only one you're interested in.

-Hallelujah : Watch, Allelujah. I'll take care of her and the monsters as promised.

-Halellujah : I'll tear them all to shreds till there's nothing left!

COMBAT START

(Hallelujah fights Peiries)

-Peiries : Gundam! I must destroy you!

-Allelujah : (I can hear her voice!)

-Hallelujah : So it's a woman piloting that Mobile Suit.

-Hallelujah : Thanks for this stupid headache! You can pay me back with some fun before I kill you!

-Allelujah : (Hallelujah, no!)

-Hallelujah : Why not? I'm doing this for you because you won't do it yourself.

-Allelujah : (Don't!)

-Hallelujah : Oh. Oh, okay. Fine, Allelujah. I can't argue with you.

-Hallelujah : Pffhahaha! Ha ha ha ha! You seriously thought I'd stop myself from killing?

-Allelujah : (Why? Why, Hallelujah? Why do you love to kill so much? Is that how I really am deep down?)

-Allelujah : (Am I... am I a monster?)

-Hallelujah : Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha! Get ready, woman! To feel my blade in your flesh!

(Hallelujah vs invaders or pieres 2nd time)

-Hallelujah : Isn't this fun, Allelujah? All this power and no one to stop me!

-Allelujah : (Stop it, Hallelujah!)

-Hallelujah : In case you forgot, I'm you. All I'm doing is what you can't do for you.

-Allelujah : (But...)

-Hallelujah : Just shut up and watch. You're too weak to fight like this yourself!

(Turn 3 start)

-Sumeragi : Are you all right, Allelujah!?

-Hallelujah : You're too late! You're so slow!

-Sumeragi : That's not Aallelujah… I can't believe his other personality's surfaced )

-Sumeragi : (Allelujah Haptism… His harsh experiences at the HRL's superhuman institution created another personality inside him, Hallelujah.)

-Chris : Is this alright? We're putting Ptolemaios on the front line.

-Sumeragi : We don't have time to discuss this. Ptolemaios will follow Kyrios.

-Lichty : Understood! We're going at maximum speed!

-Lasse : Tch…! If Ptolemaios had weapons, we could cover him!

-Hallelujah : Heh! So you're gonna help me! Just Don't drag me down with you!

(Sumeragi fights Invader)

-Sumeragi : Lichty, use the Ptolemaios to cover those civilians!

-Lichty : Yes, ma'am! Keep an eye on the GN Field's generator!

-Lasse : I don't know how long she'll hold out!

-Chris : We're gonna fight? But we don't have any weapons...

-Sumeragi : Stay calm, Christina Sierra. We all knew this would happen sooner or later.

-Chris : B-but...

-Feldt : We will survive. We must all survive...

-Chris : Feldt!

-Sumeragi : Feldt is right. We'll make it out alive, and we'll keep that shuttle alive too!

(Your reinforcements arrive)

-Ryoma : Sorry to keep you waiting, Celestial Being! W've come to the rescue!

-Sumeragi : Everyone! How did you get here so fast!?

-Hayato : Someone sent Dragon's Hive a message saying a shuttle was being attacked.

-Lockon : They even politely told us Ptolemaios' was here.

-Chris : Ah! So the person who sent it knows about us!?

-Lichty : Who are they?

-Lockon : He introduced himself as Boatman and suddenly cut communications.

-Feldt : Boatman…

-Sumeragi : Someone who can track Celestial Being's movements and can contact the Dragon's Hive…

-Kurara : Tanaka has no idea what to do.

-Hallelujah : Cut the crap! Don't talk to me about stuff that doesn't matter!

-Sakuya : W-What the!?

-Johnny : I wonder if the Getter Team's been a bad influence on him…

-Lockon : Sumeragi…! This guy…

-Sumeragi : Yeah, It's Hallelujah...

-Sumeragi : (When he was a child, Allelujah escaped from the superhuman institution and drifted through space…)

-Sumeragi : (The civilian shuttle being attacked triggered those memories, and Hallelujah surfaced.)

-Tieria : Sumeragi Lee Noriega… Why did you bring Ptolemaios to the front line?

-Sumeragi : This is an emergency. It was my decision.

-Crowe : So that's the Celestial Being mothership.

-Lockon : Its existence was a closely guarded secret…

-Ryoma : I'm surprised you were willing to risk something that important to protect civlilians. I'm looking at you in a new light, Celestial Being.

-Tieria :...

-Crowe : You ready for this, Aoi? You've never been to space before, have you?

-Aoi : Nope, but Tanaka told us to save that shuttle. Let's do this!

-Kurara : Looks like there's also a Human Reform League mobile suit.

-Aoi : It's very pretty. I wonder if it's a girl piloting it?

-Hallelujah : She's my prey! Stay the fuck out of this!

-Musashi : You'd better be ready to put your money where your mouth is.

-Ryoma : We're gonna beat the invaders! You deal with your own problems!

-Hayato : Heh… I didn't realize there was a bloodthirsty beast hiding under that gentleness.

-Sumeragi : I expect a Human Reform League rescue team to show up shortly. All units focus on attacking the Invaders.

-Setsuna : Understood. Exia, beginning destruction of the target.

(Peiries destroyed)

-Peiries : Gah… That's it! Tieren Taozi, retreating!

-Hallelujah : Hehe… She's getting away…

-Hallelujah : Oh, well… We'll have fun next. I'll just have to setttle for cutting up some monsters today.

(All enemies destroyed)

-Johnny : All the invaders have been wiped out.

-Hayato : They're coming from somewhere in this space…

-Ryoma : If they're coming, let them. We'll just smash them all.

-Chris : Human Reform League reinforcements have arrived.

-Sumeragi : We completed the mission. We're withdrawing.

-Hallelujah : You're safe for now, woman. But next time you wont be so lucky.

-Sergei : I didn't know Gundams were capable of saving lives.

-Peiries : ...

-Sergei : (I wonder if the Luitenant's problems have anything to do with the pilot of the winged Gundam.)

-Sergei : (I've heard that super soldiers are enhanced with glial cells which allows them to use quantum brain waves.)

-Sergei : (If he's interfered with the Second Lieutenant's brain, then Celestial Being must have a super soldier as well.)

-Louise : Saji! It's the Human Reform League! We're saved!

-Saji : Celestial Being's Gundam protected us.

-Saji : What are they doing...

NEXT SCENE Area 11 - Tokyo Consolidation - JNN - Office

-Reporter : Breaking news! The missing Academy shuttle is in Human Reform League custody!

-Reporter : All crew and passangers are alive!

-Kinue : (Oh… Saji… I'm really glad you're okay…)

-Isabelle : I heard that your brother and his friend were on the shuttle?

-Kinue : You’re Isabelle Cronkite!

-Isabelle : Do you know me?

-Kinue : Of course. A leading freelance journalist…

-Kinue : I also read the Pulitzer Prize-winning article, "Does the battlefield need Dancouga?".

-Isabelle : I see. Let's get right to buisness then. Kinue Crossroad, I heard you've been looking into Celestial Being personally.

-Kinue : Y-Yes…

-Isabelle : My taregt, Dancouga, seems to be working with them now.

-Isabelle : Why don't we team up Kinue? Ao we can uncover the truth.

-Kinue : The truth…

-Isabelle : "Seek out information and piece it together, and you will find the truth."

-Kinue : That quote is!

-Isabelle : A journalist I respect… Yes, these are the words of your late father.

-Isabelle : I want to seek out and piece together the facts with you.

-Kinue : I understand. I'll be happy to help if you'd like.

-Isabelle : Thank you. By following them, I'm sure we'll discover the truth about our world.

NEXT SCENE Space - Around the low orbit ring - Ptolemaios - Briefing Room

-Tieria : Please explain your actions, Sumeragi Lee Noriega.

-Sumeragi : As you can see. While we were monitoring the Human Reform League's new mobile suit testing.

Sumergi: We saw the invader attack, and I mobilised Ptolemaios.

-Tieria : Ptolemaios' existence was to be kept secret for now. And you…

-Allelujah : Please wait, Tieria. This only happened because I went off on my own.

-Tieria : What?

-Allelujah : Sumeragi moved Ptolemaios to protect Kyrios.

-Sumeragi : It was the correct decision. Because the Gundams are the most important thing to Celestial Being.

-Allelujah : This whole thing is my fault. Sumeragi was just trying to cover for that.

-Ryoma : You're good, man. Improved my opinion of you.

-Allelujah : Eh…

-Aoi : I would've done the same thing. I don't want to sit back and watch innocent people die.

-Crowe : Money can be paid back, but you can't pay back a life once it's taken.

-Allelujah : Everyone…

-Tieria : Enough!

-Lockon : Tieria…

-Tieria : The mission Veda recommended was to monitor the Human Reform League's new model In case it could become a threat.

-Tieria : Not only did you abandon it in favor of saving lives, you even revealed Ptolemaios to them.

-Sumeragi : We'll need to make some major adjustments to the plan.

-Tieria : It was you who changed the mission.

-Sumeragi : Like I already said. I wasn't helping Allelujah.

-Sumeragi : I was protecting the Gundam.

-Tieria : Someone like him should have never even been put in a Gundam.

-Allelujah : You're probably right.

-Tieria : Allelujah Haptism… You aren't worthy of being a Gundam Meister.

-Sumeragi : Do you think you're worthy Tieria?

-Tieria :....

-Lockon : Sumeragi… I'm with you on this one. We're not like the WLF.

-Lockon : You're right, what we're doing is very similar. But I don't want to abandon a life that can be saved.

-Sumeragi : Thank you…

-Sumeragi : I'd like to gather my thoughts a bit, could you can show them around.

-Lockon : Are you sure?

-Sumeragi : Since we're at this point, we may as well. It would make more sense to use Ptolemaios as a mother ship.

-Lockon : Alright. Everyone, let me show you around the place. Follow me.

-Kurara : Sure.

-Sakuya : See you, Sumeragi. Don't worry too much about it.

-Musashi : I don't care what that glasses kid says, you did the right thing.

-Sumeragi : Thank you. That makes me feel a little better.

-Hayato : But don't drink too much. Relying too much on escape will kill you.

-Sumeragi : Yeah… I think you're right.

-Allelujah : Sumeragi…

-Sumeragi : You don’t have to say anything, Allelujah. You're the one with the… Look after yourself.

-Allelujah : Alright…

-Lockon : Okay, Sumeragi… Come to the bridge when you're ready.

-Sumeragi :....

-Sumeragi : I wonder what I would have done if Allelujah hadn't jumped out like that...

-Sumeragi : I’m… I can't make any more mistakes… I can't let that happen again…

-Sumeragi : A transmission to Ptolemaios!?

-Sumeragi : The caller is… It's Boatman!
