Everyone! Get ready!

Karen!

Point Charlie, sighted and locked!

Michel! Aim well!

Aye, sir.

Raise output on beam weaponry.

Here it comes!

I'm not going to die!

Passing point Alpha! I only see the monster.

Raise the balloons!

Michel!

MICHEL!!!

Let go of me! Do you want to get killed?!

That voice... It can't be!

COMMANDER!

God dammit! I lost it!

It can't be... Shiro... Where did he go?!

SHIRO!!!

#Encodergasm Presents

Universal Century 0079.

The war begun by the Duchy of Zeon in their bid...

... for independence from the Earth Federation...

... had entered a new phase thanks to...

... the recently fought Operation Odessa.

Amidst all that, I had gone to the Federal Forces Kojima base...

... in the Asian sector for data on a new Zeon mobile armor.

Commander Miller. I've brought Ensign Shiro Amada for you.

I can see why Commander Kojima's complained so much.

Recovering this thing must have taken a helluva lot of work.

I'm Alice Miller. Intelligence division.

Shiro Amada.

Jacob!

What do you think you're doing?

Get him out of those! You're insulting the ensign!

B- But, ma'am...

JACOB!

Yes, ma'am!

Do you take it black?

Yeah... Thank you.

So, ten days ago, you encountered this mobile armor...

...at the testing grounds in area 5-2-6.

And then, during the battle, you vanished before the eyes...

...of the other members of the 08th Team.

4 hours later, a distress signal was sent out.

1 2 hours after that, you were recovered safely...

...in the mountains in area 8-4-7.

Right.

However, we've spotted a few questionable things...

...in what supposedly happened in that time.

The result being that you're now suspected of being a spy.

They think you wanted to hand over...

...a highly classified Gundam from the very start...

...and deliberately contacted that mobile armor.

You successfully vanished from your team during a chaotic battle...

...but then an unexpected accident occurred while you were en route...

...forcing you down into area 8-4-7. You called for help.

But then a Federal Forces rescue team...

...showed up at the same time as the Zeon.

They were forced to self- destruct the new mobile armor.

And, in the end, you were abandoned by the enemy...

...to be rescued by our forces.

Or that's the line of reasoning the higher-ups are following.

Ridiculous!

I completely agree.

They're letting their imaginations run away with them.

However, it's not so easy to change their minds.

That's why I want your cooperation.

Cooperation?

Won't you tell me? What really happened?

So you can prove your innocence.

My... innocence...

Now tell me.

The truth.

What really happened on that day in area 8-4-7?

I was... We were... trapped in a blizzard.

"We"?

You mean with the Zeon pilot?

Yeah.

And it was a woman, right?

Yeah...

A woman named Aina. Aina Sahalin.

How do you know that?

Your teammates told me. So, who is Aina Sahalin?

Hey, you!

God dammit!

All this is doing is using up my air!

What have I got to lose now?!

I will not be a prisoner of the Federal Forces.

Shoot me now.

C'mon. Can you stand up?

Don't touch me!

- Is it deep? - It's just a scratch!

Here.

Christ...

What did I do to deserve this?

Why are you helping me?

I don't know, either!

But nobody's an "ally" or an "enemy" in this situation!

I'm going down there.

For what?

Well, to fight, of course.

But, I think, if I go there, I'll learn something.

Who I am and what I'm capable of.

So there's no way I can die here!

You're...

You're not how I pictured a Feddie soldier would be.

I envy you.

Envy me?

Those are Zeon suits!

Let's go!

I don't want to be a prisoner.

But, if you stay here...! I can't just let you die!

I'll be rescued, too.

But...!

Get going!

My name is Aina Sahalin!

Aina? My name's Shiro Amada.

Goodbye, Shiro.

Who would have thought we'd meet again like that?

Coincidence. Or maybe fate?

For the two of you to meet again in battle like that?

We happened to be on the same battlefield.

She was the pilot of that prototype mobile armor we were after...

It can't...!

Can Aina be the pilot of this monster?

I've gotta make sure!

Aina! Aina Sahalin! Do you read me?!

Aina, I know it's you! Answer me!

This is... Anti-personnel weaponry.

Is the pilot not using it because it's Aina in there?

Or is it because they're dead?

Aina! Aina Sahalin, right?!

Don't you remember?! It's me, Shiro Amada!

If you're alive, then answer me!

It really is! It really is Shiro Amada!

So, you remember me. I'm glad you're okay.

I didn't think I'd ever see you again.

Same here.

We may have been fighting each other up till now...

...but unless we work together, we're not going to survive.

I can't maintain equilibrium!

Shiro, do you read me?!

At this rate, we're both going to die! Please!

No! Live or die, we're doing it together!

You are so...!

Besides... There's still hope!

C'MON!!!

49... 48... 47... 46... Do I have enough propellant?!

Not yet!

That's enough! Save yourself!

Not yet!

It's hopeless!

Are we all right...?

SHIRO!!!!

It's no use...

I'm so tired...

ZEON!!!

Shiro!

Your hands are frostbitten. Please try not to use them.

I wish we could heat up some water and warm them up slowly.

I... I'm sorry. I...

Shiro?

Please come inside the snow cave.

What happened before... Don't worry about it!

I... I hate the Zeon!

But ever since that day we met in space...

...I haven't been able to forget about you.

Even though you're Zeon.

Even though you've got a boyfriend.

A boyfriend?

I don't have a boyfriend.

And even though you're a Feddie, my answer is...

Aina...

Okay, do it!

Whew! Even at the lowest setting, this thing really packs a wallop!

Using a beam weapon to heat the water...

You really get some strange ideas!

My hands are all pins and needles.

Hang in there. That means your blood is starting to flow again.

My feet are going numb.

Say, you want in on the bath here?

You can look now.

Whew! My heart is beating so fast!

So is mine.

I wish we could just be the last man and woman in the world...

Someday... We'll meet again.

Why?

There's no reason to fight!

Have sighted enemy prototype!

This is the war we're fighting...

STOP IT!!!

Are you trying to kill yourself?!

Aina, tell me!

If this is war, is there no hope at all for US?!

I see.

But was that the right decision to make?

If you'd killed her, we could have recovered the mobile armor intact.

Even so, I...!

You chose not to do so.
