It may be said that this terrible incident was caused by her own inexperience.

However, this young life lost in the war must not be regarded as a small misfortune.

No one could possibly comfort the grief stricken Kai Shiden.

The White Base, having arrived at South America,

is on its way to Jaburo, the Earth Federation Forces Headquarters.

Jaburo is Breached!

Jaburo is Breached!

No doubt about it.

The Trojan Horse is headed for Jaburo.

Just as our spy reported.

Don't let it get away.

Yes, sir!

Butterflies!

Butterflies!

Butterflies!

Aren't they beautiful?

They're amazing.

So we've finally made it to the Federation Forces' dock.

Anything wrong?

No.

Attention all hands.

We're entering Jaburo.

Everyone stay on the lookout for enemy aircraft.

This is Jaburo? I can't see anything!

There!

Landing complete.

I've lost the Trojan Horse!

Which means we've discovered Jaburo's largest entrance.

I want a thorough investigation of the area where we lost the signal!

We'll destroy the Jaburo base along with the ship!

They're hurt pretty bad.

It's worse than they reported.

The White Base has seen one battle after another.

Okay! Begin the inspection!

Begin the inspection!

Teams one and two, begin inspection!

You must be Lieutenant Woody.

I'm Bright Noa, the man in charge of the White Base.

Well done.

Is the boy Amuro Ray here?

Yes, sir.

Amuro!

Yes?

That's Amuro?

Yes, sir.

He's just a boy!

What is it, sir?

You're the Gundam's pilot?

Yes, sir.

Matilda told me about you.

Ms. Matilda?

What is it?

They said it's called a "Zock."

Mobile suit Zock.

What's it do?

It's an amphibious model.

With several times the jumping capability of a Zaku.

Says who?

I was told by the engineers at the California base in North America.

There it is now.

I hope it's as fearsome as it looks.

As soon as reinforcements arrive from the California base in North America,

we'll send the second attack group to back you up.

You three are the advance team, so I expect nothing but your absolute best.

Thank you.

I can't believe these physicals take so long.

No kidding.

Yours sure took a long time, Amuro.

Was something wrong?

No, they were just busy checking brain waves and taking x-rays.

Same with you, right?

Kai!

They said I'm very healthy and mentally sound.

They really do have everything in this facility.

There's nothing wrong with us!

I don't like this place!

Katz! Letz! Be quiet!

There's nothing wrong with my body!

Yeah! Yeah!

You don't seem to have any cavities.

I'm off.

Thanks.

Lieutenant Woody.

Oh, Amuro.

Aren't you going to sleep?

Being a supervisor has its drawbacks.

I thought that maybe there was something I could help with.

While you're here at Jaburo, let us take care of things.

Thank you.

About you and Lieutenant Matilda...

We had planned to get married after Operation Odessa.

Married?

Matilda said that she'd have the White Base crew

attend the ceremony since they'd be here at Jaburo.

Oh...

Oh, I see.

I didn't know.

I'm sorry, Lieutenant Woody.

If only I had piloted the Gundam better, then Ms. Matilda wouldn't have died.

I'm sorry.

Don't think so highly of yourself, Amuro!

Do you honestly think that

the actions of a single Gundam could have saved Matilda or could win this war?

B-But...

A pilot should give it everything he's got during a fight and make sure he doesn't regret his actions later.

Understood?

Yes, sir.

I love this White Base that Matilda worked on,

so I'm putting everything I have into its repairs.

Yes, sir.

Let's both give it everything we've got.

I've found it! It's the entrance to Jaburo!

I would've missed it if it weren't for that metallic signature.

They won't launch an attack in this area.

That would only give away their camouflage.

The bottom line is, the White Base Corps will continue as they have in the past.

Yes, sir.

Additionally, you'll be assigned to the Tianem Fleet,

but you won't be given official notification until the operation commences.

So what should we do in the interim, sir?

You've all been provided quarters where you may rest.

None of you will be penalized.

Ms. Mirai, think of it as returning the favor to your father.

My father?

To this day, the Federation still deeply regrets the loss of such a valuable politician.

If your father were alive today, you wouldn't have had to immigrate to Side 7.

I would rather not discuss it, sir.

Sound the alarm!

The enemy is approaching hatches 231 and 243 of the south block!

Level two battle stations!

They're patrolling again.

Well, you'd best return to your quarters.

For now, play it safe and stay on alert.

Yes, sir!

Don't worry, Commander.

But I must apologize for bringing a force that is too small for a first wave attack.

No problem, Commander.

How long until we reach Jaburo?

We'll arrive in less than an hour.

Excellent.

Do we attack, sir?

No, that would just tell them where we are.

Hold off for now.

There are two underwater combat Goggs.

The other one isn't in the computer.

A new mobile suit model?

Listen up! All of Jaburo's south block is to go to level two battle stations!

We're going back.

Okay.

Let's go.

Right.

Where are you going?

Back to the White Base.

They've sounded the alarm for level two battle stations.

We've got no choice but to return to the White Base.

The others are coming as well.

Yeah, we heard it too.

How many went up?

It's hard to tell. There were at least four.

One must have been real and the others were camouflage.

They're coming! Advance to level one battle stations!

Signal flares confirmed.

Direction, 128 degrees ahead.

Fire missiles!

Lieutenant! We've been ordered to take up level one battle stations!

The crew will be boarding the White Base now!

All right, go ahead.

We were able to repair the mobile suits, but the White Base is still not operational.

Fraw Bow! Mirai! Contact the command center immediately!

We can't make a move until we know what's going on out there!

Yes, this is the White Base.

Command center, where are the enemy forces being deployed?

Can we launch anything?

Yes, sir.

We're sending out Amuro and Sayla in the G-Bull to guard Jaburo's entrance.

Roger.

Send out Kai and Hayato in the Guncannon and Guntank at once!

Those damn Zeons even followed us here!

I won't be sad anymore, Miharu.

I'll wipe out Zeon so they can't hurt any more girls like you.

Hayato in the Guntank, launching!

Amuro, you ready?

Go ahead.

Sayla and Amuro in the G-Bull, launching!

Sayla, I think the enemy is going to try to break into Jaburo's entrance.

Roger.

Gundams?

No, those are GMs.

They're the mass-produced version of the Gundam.

The first wave of Zakus, Goufs and Doms are going in.

Your Z'gok team will be the last attack group, Captain Char.

Roger that, Commander.

Li Hwan! Jittal! Let's go!

Don't stray too far!

Yes, sir!

They got Li Hwan!

Jaburo is well prepared.

Can any mobile suits even make it down there?

Not Jittal too!

First things first, I need to join up with the advance team!

They've dropped 28 mobile suits.

That's a fairly large group.

Perhaps, but it's too small to attack Jaburo.

They're only after the A-Block of the space dock.

Did they follow the White Base here?

Probably. The White Base is nothing but trouble.

We still haven't received any word from the command center!

Switch all monitors to the observation cameras!

There's no way we can launch a counterattack.

I'll give the command center a piece of my mind later!

It's useless.

If we just barrel out of here, we'll give away Jaburo's entrance.

We're stuck here.

There's no way we can fight if we don't know the enemy's movements.

Even if we got out of here, we'd just run into the enemy head-on.

I can't even take revenge for Miharu!

Get out of here, Zeon bastards!

There they are.

Boraskyniv, how are things going?

Sir, we just finished setting the explosives.

Should we break in now?

Wait, do you mean from the front?

Yes, sir.

Any other entrances?

There's a smaller entrance about 500 meters upstream, sir.

We'll attack both of them.

The two Goggs will breach this entrance.

Boraskyniv and I will break through the one upstream.

Follow me!

They're here!

The Zeon are coming!

They allowed the Zeon to break through?

How did this happen?

Have the workers take up defensive positions too!

Yes, sir!

Matilda sacrificed herself to save the White Base.

There's no way I'll let them destroy it!

You're not getting anywhere near the White Base!

Don't mess with me!

One Gogg has been destroyed.

Kai took it out!

Sayla! The G-Bull has to fall back.

It looks like the enemy has broken through another entrance.

We'll leave this entrance to Kai and Hayato!

Roger!

Looks like there's quite a few of them, Amuro!

Zeon bastards! You won't scratch our White Base!

Fraw Bow! Have the G-Bull convert to the Gundam!

The enemy is making their way to the base!

Yes, sir!

G-Bull! G-Bull! Convert to the Gundam!

Roger!

Which ones broke through?

Zakus or Goufs?

l don't know!

B Deck, launch the G-Armor's Module B!

Where's the enemy?

A hovercraft is no match for them! Fall back!

That's Lieutenant Woody!

Lieutenant! That's insane!

Please fall back!

A red mobile suit!

But it's not a Zaku.

Could a red mobile suit mean...

...that Char is the pilot?

Stop, GM! Don't get too close to him!

It's fast!

It's him, all right.

He's... He's here!

It's definitely him.

That's Char!

Is that you, Char?

You've gotten better, Gundam.

Good!

Zeon bastard! Get the hell out of Jaburo!

Lieutenant Woody! It won't work!

You must be joking!

Lieutenant!

Lieutenant Woody!

Hold it, Char!

The main camera has been damaged!

Boraskyniv, do you read me?

Cover me!

Don't get in my way!

I'm going to get Char!

Take this!

I'm sure of it.

That mobile suit...

That was definitely Char!

Char tailed us all the way to Jaburo.

Amuro, do you read me?

Are you all right?

I'm okay.

But I let one mobile suit escape.

You did really well.

We destroyed most of the enemy force, but they caused a lot of damage.

I'm not surprised.

Lieutenant Woody is dead?

Yes, sir.

I guess his love for the White Base was greater than our own.

It seems that way to me.

I know what you mean.

That's how men show their feelings.

You think that's true?

Beats me.

Char has returned.

Char? Did you see him?

No.

I just saw a red mobile suit, but that could only be Char, the Red Comet.

Who thinks that Katz, Letz and Kikka are nothing but a nuisance?

Who will find the enemy's bombs in time to save Jaburo?

Meanwhile, Char and Sayla meet for the second time.

Mobile Suit Gundam.

Next time, "A Tiny Line of Defense."

Next Time

A Tiny Line of Defense

Can you survive?
