New Mobile Report

Standing in the lashing rain

I want to show my passionate, undying feelings

With my entire body tonight!

I hold onto your wet shoulders to give you warmth and comfort

What are those shivering fingertips wandering after?

I want to protect the honest look in your eye

Believing in the love that'll change sorrow to strength

Standing in the lashing rain

I want to show my passionate, undying feelings

With my entire body tonight!

With high hopes, humans left Earth...

...to begin a new life in space colonies.

But the United Earth Sphere Alliance, in the name of justice and peace,

gained military power and seized control of one colony after another.

The year is After Colony 195.

Operation Meteor.

To counter the Alliance's tyranny,

rebel colonists sent new weapons to Earth, disguising them as shooting stars.

But the Alliance headquarters caught on to this operation.

You and I shouldn't be fighting!

Put your hands down.

I was the first one to surrender and come out, remember.

The Victoria Nightmare

We have word on the Corsica Factory.

The enemies left before reinforcements arrived,

and 55% of the facility is destroyed.

Walker...

Thank you for giving me data on another two enemy machines.

Lieutenant Zechs, Victoria Base is on the line.

It's been a while, Lieutenant Zechs.

You're looking good, Noin.

I hear you're pretty busy these days.

Rumors about the "Lightning Baron" have made it down here to Victoria.

I don't appreciate those rumors.

Enemies target me, and allies expect more than I can handle.

Rumors are great.

Heard any rumors about me?

I hear you've done well training pilots for outer space.

Also that you're a superior all-round soldier.

But, Noin...

You used to hate war. Why are you putting in so much effort?

I'm honored that you remember so much about me.

My efforts stem from my love of outer space.

100 meters below the surface!

Zero G!

Right!

Commence final testing for space mobile suit operations!

- Roger! - Roger!

What are you doing?!

You shouldn't have problems at this speed!

Sense the movements of your ally craft!

Lieutenant Zechs is coming!

Don't embarrass yourselves!

Lieutenant Zechs is coming?!

Ma'am! I'll do my best!

Good!

Zechs...

It's been one year and twenty-two days.

So we've lost him?

Yes.

It's the only enemy mobile suit we've been able to locate,

but it vanished past the equator.

He's headed for the Taurus suits at Noin's base.

The military's too imprudent.

Even civilian children know that Taurus space mobile suits are manufactured at the Victoria Base.

And I'm on my way there.

Noin is the only one who'll welcome an annoying lieutenant.

You two were old schoolmates at Victoria, weren't you?

I'm surprised you know that.

Of course I do.

Everyone knows about the all-time top two graduates of Lake Victoria Military Academy.

I also know that you were the top student.

She was always trying to be second.

To make me look better.

She might be helping me once again.

Zechs Merquise.

Or rather, Peacecraft.

Come here and lean on me.

Today is your last day of training.

You've followed my strict command.

Today, you'll become members of the elite Specials force.

The enemy is after your space-combat Taurus suits!

And your first mission as members of OZ...

...is to get your suits off the base!

Isn't that a job for the transport crew?

The men I trained can take care of their own machines!

Prepare to leave immediately!

Get a move on!

- Yes, ma'am! - Yes, ma'am!

When will we slip the Tauruses out?

0700 hours tomorrow.

That's cutting it close.

I heard the enemies won't show on radar.

We've got extra soldiers on the lookout.

That's the best strategy.

Good thinking.

I appreciate the compliment, Lieutenant Zechs.

Call me Zechs, Noin.

This room sure is cheery.

Most of my soldiers are young and restless.

This suits them.

Don't get too attached, or parting will be hard.

I appreciate your concern.

But my soldiers aren't going to be killed in battle.

They've been trained not to overdo things.

To me, there's no comparing the value of life versus war.

My soldiers have died.

Noin, I can't agree with what you're saying.

Battles that risk men's lives are pure miscalculations!

I pity the soldiers who get killed.

Noin here.

Zechs, you have a call from Lieutenant Otto.

The technicians are just as surprised.

This suit is much more complete than initially predicted.

It should be ready sooner than expected.

That said, it'll still take another month or two.

I see. That sounds good.

Keep me posted.

What? What's happening?!

We're under attack!

The pilot trainee dormitory was hit the worst!

What?!

Th-This is terrible!

I-Instructor...

I wanted to go to outer space so badly.

Find the enemy and attack them on sight!

Destroy them!

We're expecting a mobile suit battle.

Leos, lead the pack!

The enemy should be close by!

How's Lieutenant Zechs?

He's safe at the south hangar. He's on his way here.

Good!

The enemy has come to destroy the Taurus suits!

Assume positions!

It'll take 30 minutes to load all the suits for transport.

Okay!

Hold the enemy off for 30 minutes!

I'll command the mobile suit troops!

No sign of the enemy!

No enemies at the east gate!

No problems at the water pressure generator!

No sign of the enemy!

Where is he hiding?!

Bring up the heat sensor images!

There he is!

Get some Aries over here! Just the ones who are closest!

We're going after him!

Stop! Stop, or I'll shoot!

He'll never escape!

Does he have backup?!

A Gundam!

A Gundam might be waiting where the enemy is headed!

Bring out the space beam cannon!

But the cannon will overheat if it's used on Earth!

Doesn't matter! We just need one shot!

Yes ma'am!

Noin's in pursuit of the enemy?

He's heading for the bushes up ahead.

I won't let him go any further!

You coward, attacking soldiers instead of mobile suits!

You call yourself a man?!

You sound like a real know-it-all.

A child?! He's just a boy!

This kid did all that damage to the base by himself?!

Hm? A woman...

Now it makes sense.

He attacked the base on his own.

But he looks like he's 14...

Here he comes!

Target in sight!

Fire!!

Wait!

Lieutenant Noin! Why?

Because she's a woman!

Damn you!!

New Mobile Report

Gundam

Hurry!

Lift off as soon as we get all six Taurus suits loaded!

That's an order from Lieutenant Noin! Hurry!

The enemy isn't headed this way.

Don't panic.

We'll handle things here at the base.

Lieutenant Zechs, please move your aircraft. It's blocking Transport No. 1!

I don't care if you're following Instructor Noin's orders.

The enemy isn't coming here, so don't move the Taurus suits.

Never mind!

Get Transport No. 2 out!

Lieutenant Zechs, I could have you court-martialed.

I'm much more composed than you are right now.

If one makes his decision with a cool head,

he won't regret his decision later on.

Move!!

Dammit... What's wrong with you, Aries?!

Th-The Taurus suits...!

Woman!

Can you hear me?

Woman!

You underestimated me because I'm a kid. You're a weak soldier.

I don't kill weaklings or women.

Damn!

Damn it!!

Insulation section, 2600.

Repairs are possible.

Hey, you!

I'm talking to you!

Why won't you even acknowledge our kindness?

Here I am being Mr. Nice Guy and offering to fix your suit,

but you just brush me off!

I don't want anybody touching my mobile suit.

That's all.

That's a joke. You haven't even got the parts!

Not even the best engineer in the world can repair something without parts.

Mecha need repair parts. It's not like you with your leg.

See what I'm saying?

Why did I bother to rescue this guy in the first place?

He hardly speaks, he's anti-social, and he's totally reckless!

Ahh, I can't take it!

If I was cursed with your terrible personality,

I'd have given up on my humanity a long time ago!

Hey.

What?!

It's too late to come asking for my help!

Could you keep it down?

Yeah, sure.

Forgive me for interrupting.

What is it?!

A mission.

An enemy carrier is transporting Gundanium alloy.

Roger.

I'll do it tomorrow morning.

Wait... How do you plan to work with your suit in this shape?

It's impossible!

Impossible for you.

But I can handle it.

Well excuse me for being a mere mortal!

And if you fail, you'll have to self-destruct.

Your missions have no room for failure.

The similarities between us are uncanny!

Heero!

I'm right over here, so hurry and come kill me!!

According to reports from Colonel Treize,

they are made of Gundanium alloy.

I see...

"Treize"?

Treize Khushrenada of the Specials?

I've heard that Gundanium alloy can only be refined in outer space.

We can only conclude that these mobile suits came from the colonies!

That would mean the disarmament of my military needs to be delayed.

Indeed, we should actually increase our presence.

We'd be glad to direct our country's space forces...

...to the Lagrange point and support General Septem's troops.

Our nation has already made arrangements to do so.

However, it's unwise to interpret the actions of a few as reflecting the will of all the colonies.

The real problem is how to deal with these Gundam attacks.

We know what the problem is!

General, give orders to attack!

More than anyone else, the colonies wish for peace in the Earth Sphere Alliance!

We want peace as well.

Could it be that the colonies are acting out of jealousy?

Absolutely not!

Until now, hostilities have only been sparked by the Alliance Military attempting to take control.

Your true feelings are finally emerging!

You're a spy who's been colluding with the colonies!

Th-That's ridiculous!

We've heard everything you have to say.

I'd like you to leave now, Vice Foreign Minister Darlian.

Isn't it about time you people realized...

...that you pose the greatest threat of all?

That's enough! Silence!

So, tension returns at the Lagrange point.

That's the way it should be.

The leak worked well this time.

That's Zechs for you.

He really did a fine job.

By the way, Lady Une...

Yes?

About Vice Foreign Minister Darlian...

I'll see to it.

And I'll have a rose fragrance ready for your next bath.

Sounds good.

Man, what's he thinking?

I'm going back to bed.

What's going on?!

I don't believe it!

That guy's incredible. He fixed his suit overnight!

Hey!

We've been had!

He took his parts from this suit!

What?!

And I was just complimenting him!

Damn it!

Target confirmed.

It's almost fixed!

They're a similar make, so it was pretty easy.

So similar it's almost scary!

Right, boss?

Yeah.

That's why Master Quatre was so concerned.

I'm just relieved that this guy who can fight like Quatre isn't an enemy.

Noin, you all right in there?

Yeah.

Just feeling a little beat up inside and out.

Noin...

I'm just happy you're alive.

Because if I died, I'd get promoted over you?

If you can make a joke like that, you must be fine.

Zechs, you have to let me fight the enemy with you!

I want to become stronger!

That Gundam has put me through hell, as well.

But we won't let them get away with it next time.

Zechs...

I'd be happy if you worked with me, Noin.

Thank you, Zechs.

Get out of my sight, you weaklings!!

Fighting a weak enemy leaves me feeling so empty afterward.

Damn it!!

To be continued

I give him a call out of the blue, just because it's sunny...

But he makes me wait, how dare he treat me this way!

I know he's out of breath from running here...

But that's the very least he could do for me!

Just Love! He gets on my nerves...

I only tease him because I actually like him...

Just love! I'm always thinking about him...

Sorry I push things a little too far...
