| Gundam Wing, episode 48: Attack into chaos | ||||
|
Dorothy shoots the pistol out of Quatre's hand. Quatre: (holding his hand) Now's not the time to be fighting! It's too dangerous to remain on this ship for any longer! Dorothy:Quatre Raberba Winner.... just as I thought.... Out of all the gundam pilots... you're the one who's the most mistaken. Episode 48 - Attack into Chaos Lots of fighting. Wufei: (destroying a couple Virgos) Out of my way! Treize draws near. Wufei: He's here... Treize aims at Alt-long but Wufei dodges the blast. Wufei fires back but misses. Treize: What are you shooting at? I'm here. Wufei: Shut up! Treize: There was once an era where fights were ended with the touch of a button. The embodiment of that adbomination are the Mobile Dolls.... and their directors... the Libra. If human life is taken out of the equation, victory and defeat will bec ome something miserable.... God will not extend his hand to either side. Wufei: How dare you use your pretty speechs on me! Because of you the battles spread and many died! I alone should be a sufficient opponent! Treize: You're right..... Tallgeese II loses the gun and pulls out a beam sabre. Wufei: Are you ready? Treize: Of course. But I won't make any allowances this time. Wufei: Skip that! Treize: Hmph. Trowa in Heavyarms Trowa: Up until now, I've defied death countless times. Let me do so again. Not too far away, in an airlock Duo: So what now? J: First of all... escort us to the Peacemillion. Duo: Peacemillion? G: At things are going, it's as Zechs has planned. We must reach the Peacemillion and alter the Peacemillion's course. Duo: As Zechs has planned-? He can't- J: That's right... He's dead set on targetting the earth. The repayment of our sins will be complete if we can prevent this.... Duo: Gotcha... Follow me. [Libra's Bridge] Quinze: Are the wave course calculations ready? White Fang: Yes.... on our present course, we will hit the earth. There's a 69% chance that we will hit the northern hemisphere continents. The energy released is estimated at around 6,000 megatons. Quinze: There you have it, Commander Milliard. Zechs: That's more than enough. Quinze. If the Peacemillion and Libra are dropped on that blue planet... the seasons will cease and a long winter will descend..... Quinze: But this calculation is based that the Peacemillion's engines are completely inoperative, however. Zechs: The Peacemillion was once my ship, she'll understand what I want. Quinze: Yes... Noin: Can the Gundam's be expected to as well? Zechs: Stupid. Of course, they'll stand in my way. Noin: You're waiting for them? Zechs: They follow a path other than putting on an appearance and justice.... they are war professionals... and.... I... Zechs Merquis. Noin: Yes.... [Peacemillion's Hangar] Relena is blocking the hatch so that Heero can't close it. Relena: Wait Heero! Why must you go? Relena: The Libra's going to sink. There's no more reason to fight! Milliard Peacecraft, my brother, and the White Fangs have lost! Heero: Zechs thinks otherwise.... and it seems that Zechs and Treize have no intention of stopping this war... I must go. Relena: Are you saying that if you go out, the war will end? Heero: I'll eliminate Zechs... then Treize... the war will end... and if you survive... peace will come.... this is the one single thing I can do for you. Relena: Heero.... Heero: I promised I'd protect you. To protect you and the earth sphere... the only way I can is to fight. Relena: That's- Heero: Let me go.... Relena: No! No! You're planning on dying aren't you? Heero lowers Relena's faceplate. Heero: Trust me.... Heero pushes relena away from Wing 0. Relena: (floating away) Heero?! The Zero starts up and gets ready to launch. Relena grabs hold of the railing. Relena: Heero... I'll trust you.... Heero: Farewell... Relena. Relena: Eh?! The Zero launches. Relena: Heero?! [Libra - MD Control Room] Dorothy puts on the helmet and the MD System starts up. Quatre: This room.... Dorothy: Is the Mobile Doll control room. Quatre: No... this place feels of the Zero System. Dorothy: That's right. The Mobile Doll controls are directly connected to the Zero system. You should know then that the Mobile Dolls are now under the control of my fighting will. She throws a fencing foil at Quatre. Quatre: What are you getting at? Dorothy: Quatre Winner.... Duel with me. 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: If at all possible I'd rather not... but if I didn't you wouldn't surrender and this war wouldn't end. Dorothy: That's right! An unaugmented human reflexes or Zero System enhanced...Let's see which is superior. Quatre: And if I said no? Quatre dodges an attack and grabs the fencing foil. Quatre: Why do you embrace war? Why go so far as to do this? Dorothy: Gentle Quatre... why do you fight? Quatre: My family! I must fight to keep them from feeling sad! Dorothy: My father, to keep me from feeling sad also fought and died! So I too will die beautifully fighting! Quatre: Then you should hate war! Dorothy: No! Destruction and murder can't be blamed on war! We must defeat the enemy that is within our hearts! Quatre: I believe that peace is stronger war! I believe in those who desire peace! Dorothy: I ask you... You say you fight for the people... what have they done for you in return? Quatre: I'm not in it for the gain. Dorothy: That's why you're so ignorant! Quatre shoves Dorothy into a wall. Quatre: Stop it please, Dorothy. Dorothy: (laughing) The colonies betrayed the gundams... The colonists killed your father... and not understanding a thing, they declared independance.... Everything you've fought for has been for nothing! The result of worring for others- the resul t of too much consideration of others - that's what has lead to this most awful state of affairs! Quatre: ...... [Commercial Break] [Shuttle leaving the Peacemillion] Howard: Is everyone onboard? Peacemillion 1: We're fine. Howard: All right.... heading for MO-II Relena: Heero... please respond. Heero.... Sally: You'll interfere with his fight if you keep that up Relena: But.... Heero's planning on dying. [Wing Gundam] Relena: (speaker) Heero, please respond. Heero switches the channel off. Heero: Don't worry about me, Relena.... Life comes cheaply... especially mine. [Libra] Heavyarms rushes foward recklessly almost.... Virgos appear before him. Trowa: (desperate(?)) Wait for me Quatre. Deathscythe Hell shows up behind them and cuts short the fighting. Duo: Yo, Trowa. Sorry I was so rough... I can't stay and lend you a hand. Trowa: No... that was more than enough. Heavyarms moves onward. Duo: Is that so? Duo: Well then... don't die. Trowa: You too.... Duo.... Heavyarms finally reaches a dead end and Trowa continues on foot. Staring at the Peacemillon. Deathscythe with the scientists holding on. Duo: You psyched up yet? J: Only one of us has to reach the 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 his faceplate as he prepares to go. Duo: Here we go! Deathscythe Hell slices his way through the mobile suits, cutting down Leo's and Virgo's alike. Whoever is in his way. Duo: No idiot would want to break through this! Duo: I should never have found them... Hey hey! Death and Pestilence are passing through! Targets ahead of him are blown up. Duo: W-What the?! The Magnaacs to the rescue! Rasid: Leave this to us! Duo: (jetting by) Sorry! I'll just have to let you. Duo: We never managed to unify everyone... All of earth seems to have joined in .... is it because of that missy? Or..... Rasid: All right you guys! No one dies until we're reunited with master Quatre! Chorus of agreement [Libra - Mobile Doll Control room] Dorothy: You can't or won't? But I won't hold back! That gentleness! That sweetness! That kindness! They're the cause of your defeat! Disarms Quatre. Quatre: You might be right but this is the only way I know how to fight... even in a losing battle I'm satisfied that the colonies weren't drawn into it! Dorothy: Nothing will change! Quatre: What should I have done then? Dorothy: (raising sword high) Become the leader of the colonies and fought on even terms, like Milliard-sama! Quatre: Dorothy! That's not- He gets speared through by Dorothy. Dorothy: And show humanity a war so tragic that they have no wish to see another. Quatre: Is that... what this battle is about? Dorothy: That's right.... You can't stop wars just by taking away all the weapons... you have to change people's hearts.... otherwise.... like my father.... they'll be destroyed... Quatre: You're kinder... than me.... Dorothy: Your saying that doesn't make me any happier! This gentleness is just a hinderance to living! People should only need to worry about staying alive. Quatre: Dorothy.... You're like me.... detesting war... but never able to forgive yourself for your gentleness.... but... you can't deny your gentle nature.... Trowa 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 nothing better than animals...... Quatre loses counsciousness. [Treize and Wufei] Treize: What's wrong? Why don't you use that dragon? Wufei: I just want to fight you fair and square! Treize: That's not like you at all.... Are you holding back? Wufei: And you? Why didn't you kill me back then? Treize: I can't kill one of the few who understand me. Wufei: Don't mock me! Wufei: I hate you! Treize: Then don't hold back! Wufei: You're the type of person who just looks down on others. You just fight for your ego! How many people do you think have died for your sake? Treize: Would you like to know? Wufei: ?! Treize: As of yesterday... 99,822 people. Wufei: What?! Treize: Lady.... what is the current death toll? Une: Confirmed at present, 82 on the White Fang side and 105 on ours. Treize: (saddened(?)) Is that so... you must tell me their names later.... Une: Yes. Understood. Wufei: (stunned) You-! Treize: The people sacrificed... are all imprinted in my mind.... Novende.... Septem.... Bente... Dorian.... Walker.... Otto.... Bunto... All of them I can't forget.... Wufei: People like you..... Treize: I can do nothing by eulogise the dead. But I want you to know this much... They did not die in vain. And then-! He launches himself at Wufei, who reacts by thrusting staff foward, impaling Tallgese. Treize: That was magnificent, Wufei.... Wufei: Treize! You- Treize: Everyone must pay for their sins. Even my death is not without meaning. Wufei... my eternal friend.... I'm honoured to have fought you all... [Not sure if this part is in the anime] Wufei: This... This... I won't accept this! Treize: Milliard... I'm going on ahead of you.... *Explosion* Wufei: (crying) Shit! He quit while he was still ahead! [MO-II] Lady Une leans against the console, grieving. OZ 1: Captain Lady Une... Captain... your orders? Une: Tell the White Fang that the earth's nations surrender. OZ 1: Captain?! Une: Don't make me say those humiliating words again. Hurry up and compose the message! Une: You were magnificent... Treize-sama. [Libra] Dorothy removes the helmet. Dorothy: This is fine... this.... Quinze: There you are Dorothy.... Dorothy: Huh?! Quinze: This just came in... the earth has surrendered. Dorothy: (stunned) Surrendered?! Quinze: And a message that Treize has died in battle at the hands of a crafty enemy. Dorothy: T-that's impossible! Quinze: Victory is ours. But we won't halt the drop. Those are Commander Milliard's orders. Quinze: (PA) Initialising final thrust. Evacuate at your own discretion. I pray for your safety. [Libra - MD Room] Trowa: Looks like your hopes were defeated.... Dorothy: I- Trowa: That's so sad... a woman who can't cry. [Shuttle] Sally: The earth's accepted their defeat?! Relena: What?! Howard: But that's not enough.... the White Fangs plan 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 try Sally: There's only one person who can accomplish the impossible.... Relena: Heero? Sally: Yes.... but there's no way to inform him of this... Relena: Let's go to him. Howard: No can do. We've used up all the power in the propulsion system. Relena turns to leave. Sally: Relena! Relena: I'll go alone! Peacemillion: Wait! Relena: L-let got of me! Heero! Heeeero!!!! Atop the Libra, Epyon waits. Zechs: He's here at last.... A dot of light approaches. The Wing Zero.
