Annie Oakley

You see the dream shining within the storm.

Hang on to it now! Don't let it go.

All I want is to take those wings on your back...

Those wounded angel wings, and gently...

...pull them close to me.

Newborn in a corner of the endless blue sky...

The dream is there, and even though it may now be small...

No matter how strong they may blow...

...or how icy they may be...

...those winds can never erase the dream that shines. Oh, no!

The dream that shines inside your heart!

You see the dream shining within the storm.

Hang on to it now! Don't let it go.

All I want is to take those wings on your back...

Those wounded angel wings, and gently...

...pull them close to me.

04th Team! You ready to move out yet?!

You guys are way behind schedule!

Okay, stop it there! Lock it down!

Move it! Move it!

You want those fags in the 07 th team to beat us?!

Hey, pietro! Make sure you come back in one piece!

I will if you have the money I won last night!

I hope you get eaten by dogs!

Clear the path, you idiots!

- Unit two, cut the chatter! - Right, right.

And away they go.

You drinking on the job again, Gramps?

Karen, your new commander still hasn't shown up?

No. Probably playing big shot...

What happened to that straight-arrow you had?

I n a hospital on the rear line.

They say he had a nervous breakdown.

- Which you caused. - What was that?!

Oh, nothin'! Nothin'!

Eledore!

You gonna answer me or not?!

Is she nuts?

Oh, yeah! Struck it rich again!

Again?! Christ, what's with you today?

Yeah. You better watch your back once we're Earthside!

C'mon, lay off.

It's so big!

Doesn't look anything like it does from Side 2.

Hey, take a look at this, too. It's the Earth! The Earth!

All right...

It's incredible! Huge! Beautiful!

J ust seeing it makes you excited! Right?

Because you're going there to fight?

Of course!

I'm going to drive the Zeon off of Earth.

Drive them off...?

I'll do it, too. I'll take out as many Zeon soldiers as I can!

Hey, is this your first time Earthside, too?

You, too, Ensign?

Well, yeah.

B.B., I'm on my way to Earth now with some other Federal Forces soldiers.

What? You mean none of you have rehearsed for this?

Come on! We don't need to for fighting the Zeeks!

It's disgraceful!

This Ensign Shiro Amada I'm traveling with...

He seems to have some combat experience...

...but he doesn't take the coming battle seriously at all.

He acts like he's going on a picnic!

But don't worry, B.B. I'll be coming back from this alive!

What's that?

It's a signal flare!

A signal flare?

It can't be!

Those are explosions! It's a battle!

What is this shit? I thought this area was under Fed control!

It can't be a battle!

But, just now... There they are!

Outta the way!

That GM's been hit!

Goddamn Zeeks!

That's an improved Zaku!

I hope they don't come this way.

The last thing we need is to get caught up in that!

Caught up in it?

He is sending out a mayday, but...

Let's go and help him!

Ensign, this ship wouldn't be any good in a battle.

There must be something we can do. Something...

It's no use.

If we had a mobile suit, it'd be different, but...

The Ball! I saw one when I came aboard!

The Ball?

It has a 15 caliber gun on it, but...

That'll do just fine! Please, let me use it!

What can you hope to do with that thing?

What if you mess up and put my ship in danger?

Besides, we can't change course.

Despite that, you still want to go out?

Yes, sir! Please let me do it!

- H- Hey, wait! - What?

Where do you think you're going?

To help that pilot! Now watch me!

- Help him...? - He's taking the BALL out?!

We don't want to get involved!

I can't just stand by and let one of our guys get killed!

We're sending you out. Ready to go?

Aye, sir!

Opening hatch!

Ready when you are.

I don't want any more repeats of Side 2!

Disengage locks, please.

Disengaging.

Unlocking, confirmed! Exiting bay!

I've cleared the bay!

Where are they? Where did they go?!

There!

G- God dammit! If I just had some ammo...!

Has my dumb luck finally run out?

Don't move...

A Ball?!

If you can move, then get out of here!

There's a transport holding at 8 o'clock, moonward!

You can't take that thing in a Ball! Leave me!

Quit talking tough! Now get going!!!

There! Now you can't move!

Will it hold?!

Dammit!

A woman?

I'm sure that was a woman!

Can't believe you made it back in this thing!

Hey, move it! And watch those flashes!

The enemy's still in this area!

I heard your report. You're sure, Chief?

Aye, sir. It was an improved Zaku with three escorts.

We shot one of them down.

- And your people? - Everyone but me was...!

There are three more enemies out there?!

That doesn't mean he should have gone out in that piece of junk!

And again I lose my place to stay...

Hm?

Nothing... How much air does that guy have?

About... Two more hours worth, I'd guess.

We can't keep waiting around here, in any case.

Give him two hours, sir! I'll look for him!

It's hopeless.

What's hopeless?!

We confirmed two explosions. The Ball must have...!

It was crazy, anyway. Going out in that Ball.

What would a guy who just stood here watching know?!

L- I'm sorry, sir!

What?

Excuse me. I withdraw the opinion!

Shoulda kept your mouth shut to begin with!

This is a Federal Forces ship.

It sure drifted a long way out here.
