V1.1 Note: After half a year of being stuck in post-production
hell after being put on SRW.org I've decided to just put this up
on Gamefaqs. It still has quite an amount of Grammar problems
and not all name changes as suggested are incorporated but at
least it's out there.
Prologue
Humanity have taken a great step being able to go out into space
as far as Mars, however they have not mentally matured and
solved their numerous problems with each others. The race of
genetically modified people Coordinators have emerged and the
gigantic ship called Orphan has arisen from the bottoms of the
sea. A Martian relic is found and many immigrated to the
terraformed Mars. People had hoped for a new age but with the
rapid changes come dissent and strife.
The Coordinators who have been driven into space by fear from
the Natural have established new colonies called Plants but the
Natural have begun to fear the independence movement of the
Coordinators. Those calling themselves Reclaimer have also
invaded and establish a base in Orphan although these facts are
hidden from people.
Cosmic Era year 69
From out of nowhere come the unmanned machines invading the
Martian settlement. The Federation that fought and lose against
these unmanned machines began a retreat from Mars leaving many
settlers still abandoned there. These machines now called the
Jovian Lizards have dropped Tulips onto the Earth which Jovian
mech have appeared from thus putting the Earth into a
battlestate.
There are those who have used this confusion and panic to
achieve their own ends and the voice against the Coordinator who
wishes total independence from the Natural-led Federation
continues to grow.
It is now Cosmic Era year 70
The battle with the Jovian Lizards has not yet concluded and
amidst the tension between Coordinator and Natural, the company
Nergal has completed its new battleship "Nadesico" and the story
begins here....
The day of Judgment is near...
Episode 1.
A mysterious man (Al Van) tells another person (the Queen) that
they have found the rebel and he is going there to try to
negotiate with him but is asked whether this is really what will
happen. She says that there are things in them that can not be
expressed with words, that person will not return.
The mysterious man says that things have begun and there is no
stopping now even though she was against it. IF the rebel does
not return, he will be force to kill him and is asked whether he
will do that to the man he respected and love. The man replies
that he is a knight and will do what is necessary to protect
their people, she should understand. She says that she
understand all too well since her parents dies and their wish
for their people
For as long as he can remember, Touya has been having the same
dream over and over, it was of a praying girl begging for
forgiveness saying that she tried but she couldn't stop them,
even though the land belongs to you, the offspring of this
place. Its all been perverted through the space of time, please
forgive her who is powerless to stop it. Touya would wake up
with barely remembering what happen
In Tokyo, Chidori Kaname and her friend Kyoko is coming to
school, Chidori is a bit annoyed about the Tulip that have
appeared near Tokyo recently having cause much panic to
everyone's life. As she and Kyoko approach the school, her
classmate Boss and Kabuto Kouji and Yumi Sayaka races in with
their bike, being late and all, Boss crashed into the wall and
the teacher (name) tells Kouji and Boss to not come rushing in
with their bike and asks Sayaka how she is today. Sayaka says
that they had a late night helping to investigate the Tulip near
here.
The teacher then see Touya coming in a bit wonked and ask if
he's ok and when told about the recurring dream thinks Touya
should see a counselor since this may be serious.
As they were going to go in, Kouji and friends see a machine
dropping out of the sky crashing into the schoolyard. After the
crash, amidst the wreckage, Kouji see the Jovian Lizard machine
coming out along with three mysterious enemies.
Their leader Jyua Mu sees the Jovian mech and thinks that they
must have respond to their presence and the mech. Not wanting to
expose themselves to the Federation right now even though it
would be easy to destroy them all and a bit worried about Lord
Al Van's battle with the other mech that escaped alongside the
crashed mech, Jyua Mu decides to retreat. He thinks that the
crashed mech piloted by those inside will not amount to much and
can be destroyed later and calls the retreat after a bit of
debate with his underling.
Kouji and co. wonders what those mysterious mech are and Sayaka
wonders if they were ZAFT's army but ZAFT is supposed to only
have it to protect their colonies, aren't they? Whatever the
reason, the Jovian mech are about to go on a rampage and Kouji
notes that he won't make it back to the Lab in time to get
Mazinger Z. However help arrived in the form of Roll and Rolly
who brings Kouji his Pilder and gives Sayaka a lift back to the
Photonic Lab. Boss , having been left out, decides to drive back
to bring out the Borot.
Afterward, the Fortress of Steel, Mazinger Z arrives to beat the
Jovian closely followed by Aphrodite A to which Kouji tells her
not to be a bother which angered Sayaka like heck.
Kyoko and Chidori, having evacuated to a nearby hill, see
Mazinger Z. Kyoko marvel that a classmate of them is driving the
thing to protect them while Chidori is more pessimistic telling
Kyoko that it's probably because they are pilot of Z and
Aphrodite that the school is targeted.
Touya meanwhile, see that a robot has fallen into the schoolyard
and out comes three pilots, all girls and Touya shouted that why
have they landed here, someone could have been killed. Kateia,
the girl in the green shirt apologize but Tenia, the red head
says that no one was killed now, were they? As Merua, the blonde,
checks out the robot called the Granteed, there was a flash, and
the girls know that landing here was the right choice and asked
Touya to pilot the Granteed along with them. Tenia says that
they can only make it move, not fight and they can't let it be
destroyed so if he would help them. Of course Touya refuses
citing the normal " I can't do it" line and Tenia ask if he's
afraid. Touya says that he's not like Kouji and if they need a
pilot, go ask them (They're still piloting Z and Aphrodite, you
know?) Tenia says that it has to be him and the other girls
agree saying that they know that he can do it. More "I can't do
it" and all sort of excuses comes up but they shoehorned him
into the pilot seat while he screamed that he's scared, if he
can do it, he would but he can't. Kateia says that all four of
them can't be in the cockpit so Tenia will operate along with
him and the Granteed moves only to get shot by more Jovian mech
that arrives
Touya in desperation retaliates and is surprised that he could
move it this well. The Sytron flashes and he knows the girls'
name.
Tenia notes that the Sytron linkage is very high and that they
made the right choice
Roll and Rolly informs Kouji that the Kikaijuu under command by
Dr.Hell chose this opportunity to attack dividing their forces
into two. Although Great Mazinger has deployed to stop one half,
the other half will pass through here and it's up to Kouji to
stop them.
Upon encountering the Kikaijuus, Touya wonder whether he can
beat them but Tenia tells him not to worry because Granteed can
do it.
After the battle, Roll and Rolly tells Kouji to retreat since
the Federations are here and that they will take care of cleanup.
Tenia doesn't really want to be captured and questioned by the
Feds about Granteed and tells Touya that if they knew about this,
they'd arrest Touya and the three of them so Sayaka offers them
to come back to the Photonic Lab since it would help for awhile
to figure things out. Kateia agrees because they can't let
themselves be separated from Granteed and Touya.
Of course Boss Borot arrives, totally too late to help fight.
At the Photonic Lab, Kouji and co. learns about Kateia, Tenia
and Merua's history about having been abducted by a certain
group and was rescued by a certain someone who stayed behind to
take care of pursuing enemy mech. Kateia note that he's
probably... Sayaka wonders why this man, probably a friend of the
mysterious enemy would do something like that but Kateia doesn't
know but they made a vow to not let Granteed be taken away from
them.
What Touya wants to know is why him and Kateia says that only
Touya can operate it the best, which made Touya quite angry as
to why he was dragged into this which anger Kouji and Sayaka
because he was scaring the three girls. Tenia tells him that
while the three of them can make it move, they can't make
Granteed fight as well as Touya does. Merua supports Tenia
although she is fighting to stifle a cry. Touya tells her to not
use crying to make him accept the situation, unless they give
him a satisfactory answer, he won't be satisfied and let the
situation drop.
The confrontation is interrupted by the arrival of Tsurugi
Tetsuya, Great Mazinger's pilot who commented that those
Kikaijuus were no match for Great. He looks at Touya and ask
Kouji if THIS is the guy who fought alongside him which makes
Touya a bit angry being looked down by Tetsuya. Dr. Yumi also
arrives saying that the Feds wants to question Touya and the
girls about Granteed.
After hearing from Kateia, Dr. Yumi note that until they
understand the situation, its best that the Fed do not take the
girls and Granteed since it uses black technology that is beyond
their comprehension. Although if they stay here, its quite easy
for the Fed to use their authority to demand the Photon Lab hand
Touya, the girls and Granteed over, but there is one chance.
Dr. Yumi ask Touya about his family and after learning that he
lives alone with his dad having died 3 months ago on the moon,
tells everyone about Nergal and their plan to send a super
warship named the Nadesico to Mars to evacuate the Mars settler
that were attacked by the Jovian Lizard. He has been approached
by Nergal to provide them with defense forces such as Mazinger Z
and Great Mazinger. Dr. Yumi initially plans to reject the
request but thinks that they could use this, since Nergal is an
independent company without backing by the Feds, it would be
harder for the Feds to demand Granteed and the Mars mission will
take awhile giving them time to plan their next move and though
Nergal WOULD be interested in Granteed, it would be to a lesser
extent than the Feds.
Kateia and the girls agreed that this would be the best move and
ask Touya to come along but he flatly refuse saying that even if
he was taken by the Feds, he knows nothing and if they search
his background, they'd find it to be true and have no reasn not
to believe him, he's going home. The girls pleaded with him but
he refused angering Sayaka and Kouji one more time because
technically, he's being a d**k saying no with all these cute
girls pleading with him. Doesn't he feel any sense of duty?
Touya ask what is he supposed to do, go out of his way to Mars
risking his life fighting Jovian Lizard so that someone he knows
absolutely nothing about can avoid the army? Once was enough,
he says. Touya continues that he's not like Kouji, he's just a
normal guy, it's not HIS problem, he just wants to live a normal
life.
Tetsuya smirk and says that it's too bad, Touya's normal life is
OVER, the Federations are not THAT naive, they won't believe any
words Touya might tell them. There's no way Touya will EVER go
back to a normal life especially if he's someone without any
organization's backing. Tetsuya continues " Think about it,
you easily defeated Jovian Lizards and Kikaijuu that gave the
Fed a hard time operating that unidentified machine, that's a
fact and the Fed will NEVER let you go"
Jun says that Tetsuya is right, Touya really have two choices,
to go with the girls to Mars with the Nadesico or surrender to
the Fed and lose his freedom and also without him, the girls
can't operate Granteed to fight which makes them absolutely
worthless to Nergal looking for a defense force for the Nadesico.
Touya thinks about it and tries to protest but nothing comes out.
Episode 2
Tetsuya wonder if sending Touya and the 3 girls along with Kouji
and Sayaka to Nergal was such a good idea since he sense that
there seems to be a lot that the girls aren't telling but Dr.
Yumi says that they have no evil intent and he wants to believe
in them. Dr. Yumi says that there is something very odd near the
moon at around the same time that the Granteed is calculated to
have crash landed on Earth, it seems that there was some sort of
skirmish reported between two unidentified party and that all
the Federation troops that headed there simultaneously suffered
a malfunction rendering them all unoperable and was wiped out.
The details are mirky but Dr.Yumi thinks that the skirmish
involved the mysterious enemy chasing the girls and Granteed and
if the simultaneous malfunction rendering it unoperable was as
a result of an enemy weapon then these enemies are VERY
dangerous and the girls and Granteed would do well to disappear
from their and the Federation's sights for a while to see what
happens next.
Dr. Yumi ask Tetsuya to pick up the slack now with Z and
Aphrodite away from Earth and Jun comes in and tells them about
the Plate sighting along with the Grancher.
In a city block, a plate has revived to become a Brain Powered
with Utsumiya Hime guiding it and befriending it. Of course when
Isami Yuu and Kanan in their Granchers comes in and orders her
to step away from the Brain Powered and says that they'll
destroy it, well, she doesn't comply with the Oh so high and
mighty Grancher and Yuu moves in to attack but the Brain Powered
dodge. Yuu and Kanan are surprised that THIS Brain Powered have
more power coursing through it than the Brain Powered they've
encountered and destroyed from the Plate Revival and retreat. In
the course of all this, Hime learns about Yuu's Name .
Meanwhile Colbett, the bald (censor) is urging Admiral Mismal
Kouichiro to take the Nadesico by force to use it for themselves.
At the moon dock, Kouji and Sayaka meets the Combattler team who
ask whether Dr. Yumi owes Nergal some money too. Hyouma says
that they've seen the Nadesico in battle and it's quite
awesome.They are soon met by Gai Daigouji although the
Combattler team say that isn't his name Yamada Jirou. Gai
counters that Gai Daigouji is his REAL name, his SOUL name. He
marvels at the Fortress of Steel Mazinger Z and Combattler V and
Granteed and ask Touya about it. Touya got annoyed and says to
ask the girls and storm off leaving Gai wondering how he
offended Touya?
Noal and Aki introduce themselves stating that the Space Knight
have been assigned to look for the Cosmic Culture Club on Mars
if they survived.
Gathering for a meeting at the bridge of the Nadesico and
waiting for the Captain to arrive, Yurika and Jun enters. Noal
says that Jun is quite young to be a captain and to have this
really good looking secretary with him but Yurika does her
famous V-sign and says that SHE'S the captain of the Nadesico
which surprises everyone but Prospector says that Yurika's score
were very high from the academy.
Prospector tells everyone of the objective of the mission, to go
to Mars and rescue the survivor left behind by the Federation
when they retreated against the Jovian Lizard.
Hyouma says that he doesn't mind, Combattler V was originally
created to fight against alien threat and Kouji says that he
don't want to abandon the Martian colonist. Gai note about this
situation and says that this is SO nekketsu.( hot blood burning
situation)
However the dock are soon surrounded by Federation troops who
hopes to make the Nadesico, their weapon . Admiral Mismal,
Yurika's father tells her to surrender the ship like a good girl
since he's worried about her and they need the ship badly
because of the situation on Earth. Jun agrees that the Nadesico
can be of tremendous help and that they shouldn't really just
leave. Yurika tells Ruri to start the engines and take off since
Admiral Mismal taught her himself to NEVER surrender the ship
because of the responsibility that comes from being a captain.
The team are a bit surprised that they have to battle the
Federation right away in their quest.
Colbett have their route blocks with Federation mech and the
team deploys.
At the beginning of the battle, Uribatake, the Nadesico's chief
mechanic, reminds Gai about the Aestevalis's Gravity energy feed
from the Nadesico and not to go too far away from it. Gai in
his "Super-Robot Pilot" mentality tells the "Professor" to open
the Barrier to the Lab and for the cook to follow him. Sayaka
and the others note that it seems to be like they're at home at
the Photonic Lab.
Touya doesn't want to fight but Kouji tells him that the Feds
means business and complaining won't help.
After deployment, Gai says that he will show how a hero fight
Akito shouts that he will go back to Mars to rescue the people
while Yurika mistakenl.y thinks that Akito is doing this to
protect her
Kateia tells Touya that it's different up here and for him to
concentrate, Touya, quite disgruntled, reluctantly agrees that
he'll fight.
Colbett tells the team to surrender but Yurika won't give and
Colbett shouts that the Nadesico is the enemy and orders the
attack. After taking care of the Feds, Ruri says that Jovian
mech are coming
However help arrives in the form of the three ButterCup team and
together they beat the Jovian Lizard.
Ryouko, the team leader isn't exactly polite to the Combattler V
team when they meet afterward since she want a good shower after
the battle and the other two, Hikaru and Izumi are pretty weird.
Ryouko ask if the rest of the pilot are like this and Akito says
that he's a cook while Touya says that he doesn't really want to
pilot which makes Ryouko gets even more exasperated at those
she's going to work with and again ask for where the showers are.
Noal and Aki note that while the personality of everyone is out
there, they each have the skills needed to go to Mars and come
back.
Afterward, the Nadesico received words that all out war between
the Federation and the Plant (ZAFT) had begun with the Unius 7
Nuclear attack tragedy that would be known as the Bloody
Valentine. Prospector note that if they had left even a day or
two later, they would've been embroiled in that war right now
and with the war happening, it is even more imperative since
with the war, Mars is but an afterthought to the Federation. In
their war against the Federation, ZAFT has made use of Nuclear
Jammer which prevents atomic weapons from being use and Yurika
note that at least they won't be blowing the entire planet and
colony up while they're gone. Ruri note something odd which is
that the Jovian mecha are not attacking as predicted to the
Federation vs. ZAFT war and Yurika wonder whether they're
waiting it out to let both side decimate each other first before
swooping in for the kill but Ruri counter that to do that, they
must have some higher knowledge of strategy or someone is behind
them to make this type of decision
Episode 3
Kouji and Sayaka tries to find out more on the Federation and
ZAFT war but the Nadesico can't seem to receive any message,
until their mission is over, they don't know what happen. The
Nadesico is a computerized ship that unless a big battle occur
doesn't need all crews on deck which is why only Ruri and Megumi
is there.
As for the captain, she's gone to surprise Akito only to see him
crying while watching Gekiganger 3 with Gai leaving her QUITE
perplexed.
Touya is at the mech dock wanting to get better acquainted with
piloting Granteed which surprised Tenia and Kateia. Touya says
that even though he says that he doesn't want to fight, he's
come on board the Nadesico and if he doesn't make himself useful,
then he'll be dragging down Kouji and the others. Kateia wonders
if this is because of the Gekiganger 3 anime that Gai had Touya
watched along with Akito. Touya says that he's not into it as
much as those two, he just don't want to die, he'll survive and
go back to Earth.
Touya ask where Merua is and Kateis says that she's shut herself
in her room because Touya was quite harsh on her yesterday.
Kateia says that they understand that they roped him into this
situation, its fine for them if he wants to scold them for doing
this to him. They need him even though he and they doesn't know
the reason yet but a time will come when the meaning behind why
he was chosen will be revealed.
Touya notes that this isn't the first time that the girls have
say something cryptic that even THEY don't understand. He
wonders if it has to do with the aftereffect of the Sytron in
Granteed.
Kateia continues saying to please not scold Merua who cares
deeply about Touya's well being.Touya thinks it over and says
that he'll go apologize saying that he knows things were bad for
the girls being in the mysterous enemy's captivity but its bad
for him too being roped into this situation but Tenia stops him
telling him to go say that to Merua and begins shoving him to
the door. They pass a very annoyed Uribatake who says that he's
jealous of Touya's "harem" situation, and Kouji comes in and
tells Touya that Uribatake is in a bad mood since Akito, being
chased by Yurika managed to destroy Uribatake's plastic models.
Approaching Mars, the team learns of Mars terraformation into a
habitat much like Earth The team has a series of battle while
nearing Mars against Jovian Lizard which while hectic and life
threatening seems to be very enjoyable for all the pilot even
though Gai got on Ryouko's nerve by not conforming to flight
formation in the attack and going off alone t o "take back Mars
from the evil alien Empire"
Finally arriving on Mars, the sign of devastation is horrific
and Prospector tells them the location of the Nergal Lab on Mt.
Olympus where the best chance of finding survivors are. He says
that the lab's discovery of "that" 30 years ago led to the
creation of the Nadesico. Megumi caught a distress called made
by Dr. Elizabeth who is the head of the Cosmic Culture club.
Noal and Aki couldn't believe that there are only 6 survivors
and was told that there were a lot before this but they were all
hunted down and kill. They were on the way to the shelter to
find other survivors when they notice the Nadesico.
The reason they live is because of one man, Albatrona Eiji Asuka
who betrayed his own planet to warn them of the danger. The said
man is on the ship that Dr. Elizabeth and the others were on and
has a gun out pointing at Uribatake who supervised taking the
ship into the Nadesico and Dr.Elizabeth says that she'll go to
meet him so that there isn't a misunderstanding. The team is
surprise to find out that the Jovian Lizard are supposedly
mechanical machine employed by the alien race known as Grados.
Gai is brimming with excitement saying that finally a real evil
alien empire has appear for him to defeat. Dr. Elizabeth
continues that 2 weeks ago, the Grados troops appear and
deploys their Skull Gunner hunting down everyone and Eiji
appears and saved them Of course Akito begins to blame Eiji for
the settler's death but Juuzo stop him saying that it's
misplaced anger and David chimed in that Eiji's their friend.
Eiji says that while he is a Grados, half of his blood is also
human since his father was from Earth. Eiji says that Grados
uses automated machines to attack to create strife and blame on
Earth and that he came here to tell Earth what happen although
Noal is a bit skeptical. Eiji says that he's always admired
Earth from stories told by his father and that with time he's
sure that they could prevent the Earth from going to war against
each others
To which Ruri says that he's a bit late since the Feds and the
Plants are already at war shortly after they left. This shocked
the Cosmic Culture Club and Simone says that the top Fed's brain
are very rigid, it's always a you're with us or against us
mentality for them and to those against them, they use force to
eliminate. Jun, being a former Federation official is silent
during this badmouthing of the Fed because he realizes it's true.
At the ruins of Yutopia colony, where Akito used to live,
Megumi and Akito are walking around surveying the ruins. Megumi
ask about Yurika and Akito's relationship to which Akito says is
that they're just old childhood friends.
Near the shelter, Kouji and the others are shocked to learn that
there are only 100 survivor sinceall the other shelters were
attacked and everyone in there was killed. Ines Franches greets
them and Hyouma and Akito says that now that they're here, its
ok which Ines wonders how that's going to go.
Aboard the Nadesico, Ines says that she sent them the plan to
create the Nadesico (?? Can't remember if this is true in the
anime, someone confirm please) and she knows its strong but it
can't win against the Grados so she has no intention of riding
it. Akito ask if she has no faith in them. She counters whether
they understand what a Tulip is and Eiji admits that he hasn't
seen them on Grados before. Ines starts mocking him that if they
don't know that then she has no intention of going with them.
She mocks both their mission attributing it to the naiveness of
youth. Her attitude provokes a lot of anger by Kouji, Hyouma and
Gai.
Noal even suggest that they find all the survivor who wants to
board and let them board leaving ingrates like her behind.
A tulip sense the Nadesico and begins to warp out ships to which
Hyouma wonders how can those thing fit in there. Ines says that
they weren't in there, the Tulip is a gate to warp them out
which means that the enemy can send an extremely huge number of
mech at them easily. Without a strategy, they have no chance of
winning. Yurika tells Ruri to enlarge the Distortion field but
in doing that, it will crush the shelter along with all the
survivors. They can't fly up since it will take time since they
were in preparation to let the survivors board. It's either
they enlarge the field and crush the survivor or die, it's that
simple, Ines says. Prospector urge Yurika to enlarge the field
but Megumi says that Akito promised the survivors that they'd be
safe now and they'd go home and to do this to them would be
murder.
As a gravity blast is charged against the Nadesico, Yurika
sadly and quietly tells Ruri to expand the field, killing the
remaining survivors. Ines says that what happen was only a
matter of time, without the field, no one will survive and that
the result is that the team weren't the saviour that they wanted
to be. Uribatake calls and says that the engine has been badly
damage and that they need to repair it or they're not going out
of Mar's atmosphere. However the SPT troops that Eiji talked
about have arrived to attack them. Eiji note that its Gale
Senpai, his Senior and that they have to fight since there's no
avoiding it. Yurika is in shock but says that she can still do
her duty.
Deploying, Touya apologize to Merua who says that she also
doesn't like to pilot the Granteed although she tells Touya not
to tell the other two. Touya says that he understand her
position and she says that its ok, she and the others have taken
a vow that they will protect Touya who agreed to pilot Granteed
for them. Touya says he believes them and that he will protect
Granteed and them too and them being Granteed's pilot is their
promise to each other. One day, he WILL understand why he is
Granteed 's pilot but right now they have to survive.
Gale is surprised that Eiji has rendezvue with a powerful Earth
Battleship. Gale tells Eiji to surrender since there might still
be a chance for him to come back to Grados. He ask Eiji to not
make it harder on him who is engaged to Julia, Eiji's sister to
have to fight Eiji. Eiji apologize but refuse to surrender or
back down. Gale says that he'll use force to bring Eiji back
since he doesn't want to kill him.
Gale attack and note that the Mazinger's movement is quite slow
and that the Combattler V has much power but they are no match
for his speed. Akito's anger at what the Grados did to the
Martian settler is making him fight quite unfocused. Gale ask if
Eiji can really defeat him when the two clash. After Gale is
downed, he says that Eiji has made his choice and that when next
they meet, he won't hesitate to destroy him and signal for the
troops to leave.
However a second troop lead by Goztello arrive with Goztello
telling Eiji that he'll show Eiji that the thing Eiji did is for
nothing and that he isn't one to be convinced with words.
Goztello attacked and mocked the team as lowly ape and he'll
tear them to pieces, however an " I don't think so"
countershouted by Kouji leads the team to blast him to Kingdom
Come.
Afterward, Noal comments on how David and Roan are quite good
using the SPT. David says that he has Eiji taught him in order
to help them survive and Roan chimes in saying that Eiji brought
3 SPT in his ship and THEY want to help him. Ryouko comments to
Eiji that he's quite good but he's not giving it his all trying
his best not to hit the cockpit of the enemies mech and she says
that that kindness might get him kill since the enemies aren't
THAT considerate. Eiji says that that's true but he wants to try
his best not to kill anyone.
Noal communicate to Yurika that while he doubted her ability in
the beginning,she shows true grit and tells her that what
happened to the survivor was not her fault. Kouji and the rest
tells Akito to go be with her since even though she's putting on
a brave face, she must be hurting inside.
Akito meets Yurika in the hallway crying and she apologize to
Akito that they didn't do what they set out to do, what she
promised Akito that they would do and says she's sorry. Akito
tells her that even though the tragedy happened, they managed to
rescue the Cosmic Culture Club, gain a new friend and know the
supposed origin between the Jovian Lizard which is supposedly
from Grados so the trip isn't a total waste. Akito tells Yurika
that it'll be ok amidst her tears.
Episode 4
Needing repair, the Nadesico heads to a former Nergal facility
on Mars with hopes of salvaging some parts to repair the engines.
Kouji wonders if they can avoid another battle with the SPT
troops and Eiji says that the SPT troops here are only the
advance force, they don't have all of Mars covered but they
linger, the main troop will arrive and they have to get to Earth
before that. Of course Gai shouts out loud again that this is a
burning situation. Everyone agrees that they have to risk it ,
they WILL go home. Of course Yurika then also jimes in saying
that it's also for her and Akito's love romance which provoke
Megumi and Ryouko to demands answer from Akito as to WHAT did he
say to Yurika when comforting her.
The Combattler team and Sayaka note that Yurika has returned to
her usual cheerful ditzy self.
Of course Touya is his old moody self, and he wonders HOW can
the others be THIS cheerful, they might not make it back to
Earth and die here, and this is all because of but he shuts up
not wanting to beat a dead horse again as to why he's here.
Kouji and Hyouma tries to tell him it'll be all right and not to
think too much about this or he'll worried himself to an early
grave. Ryoko tells him that panicking will do absolutely nothing
in this situation and what's happen has happened and no amount
of complaining is going to make things better. Kouji says that
they 'll do all they can to get out of this situation and Kateia
note that Touya is upset because he doesn't know what to do to
improve the situation which leads to his worrying. Kateia then
goes on to say that if this isn't the case, then they wouldn't
have met and they won't die, at least not yet. Touya then says
that Kateia is spouting weird cryptic talk again and leaves
wanting to rest in case of deployment.
The Naze Nani Nadesico make its first on air with Yurika bunny
and Big sister Ruri along with Inez Franches and special guest
star, Eiji Asuka in a suit like Yurika as host to explain about
the Nadesico and Grados and all.
Simone can't believe how cute Eiji looks when he's embarrassed
and Noal and Aki busted a gut laughing at how ridiculous they
all look. Anyhow, everyone learned that the Nadesico is created
by studies made from the ruins on Mar.
As they approach the Nergal lab, Ruri note that a ruin of a ship
identified as the Krokker is nearby, and Jun says that the
Krokker is the Federation ship that got suck into the Tulip
during the time of their departure. Ines explains that the Tulip
are a type of Wormhole that creates a warp so its not impossible
that the Krokker could have warped to Mars. Yurika wants to see
if there are survivors but Prospector is against it since it is
near a Tulip and enemies could come out. Fucube, the old captain
who is the ship's advisor volunteer to go look with Noal and Aki.
As Fucube is going to explore the Krokker with Noal and Aki,
Akito burst in remembering where he once saw Fucube, Fucube was
the military head on Mars who decided to attack the Tulips once
they appear and as a result of his miscalculation, the Tulip
drops crushing a huge portion of the Martian settlement along
with its people. Akito won't forgive him for this.
At the Krokker, it looks like there are no survivors and that
the Krokker has been here for longer than the time since its
disappearance, A call from Megumi about the Grados' s attack
leads everyone but Fucube back to the ship and Fucube says that
he'll stay behind to try and operate the Krokker in order to
help the Nadesico.
Gai shouted that with his friendship and burning passion,
defeating the evil alien empire's attack is a piece of cake.
Merua ask if Touya is alright and Touya says that he'll do his
best, he's not going to die to which Ryouko says that it seems
Touya has stop being depressed.
As Touya is ready to board the Granteed, Kateia tells him that
he's tried piloting the Granteed with each one of them and they
each bring something different to Granteed and its up to him to
choose who he wants to pilot it and they'll go along with it. I
chose Merua and will try to stick with her as sub-pilot.
Gale tells Eiji that this is his FINAL warning, surrender or
else, he doesn't want to make Julia sad. Eiji says that he'll
only surrender if Grados decides to not attack Earth but Karura
mocks him saying that the order to invade Earth came from the
Grados planet itself and isn't Gale's decision to make and that
they are wasting time and they should just kill all earthlings..
Eiji apologize to Gale but says that he won't surrender and Gale
says that he'll regret it and orders the attack. Ryouko shouts
that they're not going to lay down and die for the Grados.
In combat, Gale ask Eiji WHY is he doing this for the Earthling??
Eiji says that half of his blood is from Earth but Gale counters
that the other half is from Grados and that he was raised on
Grados and for THEM, he betray his planet? Gale continues that
they are not out to annihilate Earth (yeah right) but Earth's
constant infighting must be stopped which is why they will take
it over. Eiji then ask Gale how many more innocent lives has to
be killed for that to happen?
After Gale is downed, Goztello appear and attacks Gale which
surprise the team as to the apparent split between the enemies.
Goztello smirks and says that Gale will be reported kill by the
Earthling and he'll take Julia's hand. Eiji tells Gale to run
but Gale is knocked out and Eiji asked everyone to protect Gale.
Noal asked if Eiji is joking, Gale is the enemy's commander who
just tried to kill them. Yurika agrees to save Gale since he's
not a threat anymore and they have to fight Goztello anyway.
Akito is in total disagreement with this saying that Gale and
the Grados killed all the people on Mars, he's not going to help
Gale but Touya says that he agree to help Gale. As Goztello rush
them, he mocks Eiji saying that Eiji might have made a fine
solider had he not betrayed Grados, but Eiji will never amount
to anything since Eiji doesn't like to kill but he DOES. Of
course after the team hands him his butt a 2nd time, he vows
vengeance and says that he'll be back to rip them to pieces. (If
I had a dollar for every time he'll vow that, I can get myself a
pretty big steak to eat)
After the team rescued Gale from Goztello, more enemies appear
but they are Gale's troop. Akito shouts that this is why they
shouldn't have help Gale. Gale tells the Nadesico to surrender
and he will spare them but Yurika refuse telling them that they
will make it back to Earth with Eiji. Gale then says that in 10
minutes they will begin their assault on Nadesico and if they
want to surrender, they can communicate with him via Eiji's SPT
and leaves.
Back in the ship, Akito shouted that they should have finished
Gale off and it would have demoralized and put the Grados troop
into disarray but Prospector says that the opposite might happen
with the Grados troop out for blood if they kill Gale and Yurika
says that she can't fight dirtily like that. Ines says that they
have to escape which puzzle Touya since Gale promise to spare
them if they surrender but Ines says that while Gale WOULD stick
to his word, others above him would not since they WERE the one
to kill all the settlers on Mars. Eiji says that he'll go out in
the Layzner to draw all their attention while the team makes a
run for it but David and the others are against that. Yurika
wonders where the advisor Fucube is and Noal tells him that he's
back at the Krokker ship. The ship in question is moving towards
them and fires a warning shot at them. Fucube tells them that he
was a failure to let what happen in Mars happen but now he will
protect what is dear to him and that the team will one day know
it or find it themselves, what they fight for. He tells Yurika
that he has nothing more to teach her as a captain but he will
say one thing, the Nadesico belongs to them, it's their ship, it
contains their laughter, happiness, sadness, everything. He
tells the team to move into the Tulip to use it as a gate and
while the Krakker's crew didn't live through the Boson Jump, the
Nadesico has a distortion field that will allow it to survive.
As the Nadesico makes it way into the Tulip, the Krokker moves
to defend it against incoming Grados enemy, however before the
Tulip can close, an enemy ship is preparing to Gravity Blast
them. In their direst hour, Gai launch in his Aestivalis telling
them to leave it to him, this is a nekketsu situation worthy of
him. He plans to use the Gekigan Final Attack, kamikazeing the
Heavy Artillery frame into the Jovian Ship and self destruct the
frame while ejecting with the core and off he goes. After the
ship is destroyed, Gai yells to Uribatake to shoot out the OG
frame, he'll do a cross-slash turning into OG form and returns
to the ship but Uribatake shouts out that they can't do that.
"WHATTTT?????" was Gai's last word as the Tulip close and a
large explosion can be heard.
Episode 5
The Nadesico have escape Mars via the Tulip. Inside everyone was
unconscious after the entire process and Ruri had to wake them
up. The team can see Earth nearby and note that they have
finally returned to Earth. Eiji is stunned at it's beauty from
out in space and note that he came here so that it won't lose
its beauty because of Grados.
The girls thanked Touya for helping them out during all this and
he said that he only did it because he didn't want to die and
note that Gai and Fucube are dead and that if they hadn't been
careful, they might have died there too.
Yurika asked where Akito is and is told that he is in his room,
in shocked because of Gai's death. Yurika says that only her
love can help him now. However before that, Ruri catched a
signal of Federation ships battling something unknown. The
unknown beings seem to be organic, like a space monster. After
it finishes off the Federation troops, it seems to be heading
the Nadesico's way. Yurika wants to run but the engines are
badly damaged and they are soon converged by dozens of space
beasts.
At the Hangar, Akito rushed out asking what the heck is going on
and Ryouko says that they are being attacked by mysterious space
beasts. As Ryouko shouts for Touya to get in his mech and the
Layzner team gets ready to board their SPT,. Megumi calls him
in on a private line to ask if he is ok after what happened. She
says that Prospector founds a message by Fucube addressed to
Akito stating his intention to die on Mars but Akito in anger
ask if Fucube wanted forgiveness from him? Akito continues that
Fucube should have lived to pay for his crime against the
Martian settler but he died and drag Gai with him. Akito
continues, he wonders how can the others be this callous , a
friend of theirs had just died in front of them only barely an
hour ago to save them and they're not even sad., or grateful
that they're alive thanks to him or that they'll fight on his
behalf from now on. It seems that he's the only one who is sad
by Gai's death.
Megumi says that that's not true, she's not ungrateful and she
would feel even worse if something happened to Akito.
On the battlefield, Ruri confirms that these are spacebeasts.
Merua notes the intention of the beast and says that they have
to fight. In the battlefield, Akito begins to acts irrationally.
Akito shouted that he shouldn't be scared, he's made peace with
being a pilot and then he dives into the enemies' circle as if
in panic he Ines says that Akito has a fear of fighting before
but he's managed to push it down but it hasn't disappeared. With
Gai's death reminding him of death on the battlefield, the fear
has return in full force. However Akito is save by the
appearance of Akatsuki Nagare, piloting a brand new Aestevalis
who herded him back to the Nadesico. Akatsuki says to Yurika
that they'll talk later amidst the team's question for him, but
these are aliens that have invaded the Earth during the times
that the Nadesico has been gone.
During the battle, a weird new being appears and says that he
won't forgive the Radam for what they did. The team don't know
what to make of him but Yurika says that the enemy of their
enemy can be a friend and unless attacked by him to focus on
defeating the space beast. However after some battle, he got
attacked too much and has to leave the battlefield saying he
won't die. Yurika ask if they can collect him and Ruri says
that she'll put a tracker signal on him so that they can collect
him after the battle.
After the battle, everyone is surprised that the mysterious
human sized alien seems to actually be human after his forms
glimmer and he returns to human form. Still unconscious, he
posed a big mystery for the team as he is carried to the
emergency room. Akatsuki wonders how the mysterious man can do
that and is asked how can he has a newer Aestevalis frame and
engine than theirs which was promised by Nergal to be the latest
in design. Akatsuki said that its natural for him to have a
newer one since the team has been gone for eight months and
development has continued on the frames as with other changes
like the aliens. The team asked him to says that again and when
he did, they couldn't believe that they had been gone for eight
months when to them, it's only been a couple of weeks since they
left Earth.
Inez explains that when they use the Tulip to Bosom Jump, it in
effect is like an instantaneous warp across space and time and
that they must have exit to a time which is eight months later
than when they entered. The hint was the Krokker that entered
the tulip shortly after they depart Earth but seems to have been
on Mars for a long time. Dr. Elizabeth comes in and confirms
that the mysterious man is human around Eiji's age. Prospector
says that he has just contacted Nergal Headquater and the state
of the Earth has vastly change. The war between Plant (ZAFT) and
Federation is still going on but there are arrivals of the
aliens just fought. ZAFT has embedded Nuclear Jammer on the
Earth and elsewhere to prevent nukes from being used and have
made enormous headways against the feds thanks to their Mobile
Suit.
Yurika tells Eiji that they forwarded his message about the
Grados invasion to Nergal who will forward it to the Federation,
ZAFT and all sides which relieves Eiji a bit. However Prospector
warns him that even with the threat of the Grados, the war
between the Federation and ZAFT shows no sign of relenting
although Nergal will tries its best to get people to cooperate.
Akatsuki says that the Space Aliens have also flocked down to
Earth and burrows deep underground creating alien forests all
over the world. Yurika also says that Nergal has now decided to
cooperate with the Federation by having the Nadesico joins the
Federation. Hyouma really doesn't want to work with the Feds who
have that moron Colbette in charge but Juuzo and Chizuru says
that they have to consider the state of the Earth now and the
danger coming from the Grados. When asked if they will formally
be inducted into the military, Akatsuki says that they won't and
its better to cooperate when they don't know what's going to
happen next.
Akito asked about Mars and Prospector says that with no
survivors there and it being under Grados control now, it would
be suicide to return to it. Akatsuki says that if they don't
like this condition, they can formally leave the ship since the
contract has changed.
Kouji asked what about them since they're just cooperators for
the Mars mission and Prospector says that their agreement is
fulfilled and that they can leave after the Nadesico returns to
Earth after undergoing repair at the Orb Colony "Heliopolis"
Kouji plans to return to the Photonic Lab but Touya says that
he'll remain on Heliopolis since he don't want to be capture by
the Feds and draft into a war against other humans. Orb's
Heliopolis colony is a neutral place so he think it would be
fine for him to live there. The girls ask if Touya is serious
and Touya says that if the Feds wants to research Granteed and
the girls, they'd probably take him too and there's no other
place to run to. The girls asked what about them and Touya
confess that he is curious as to why only he can ride it with
them and he doesn't want to say that it's not his problem but...
As Touya continues to try to weasel his way out, Prospector says
that they can remain as Nergal staff, even though they'll be
cooperating with the Feds, the Feds wouldn't find it easy to
just take them away to be studied.
Touya still doesn't like having to fight on their behalf just to
remain free and note that its practically the same. Akatsuki
note that Touya is pretty special piloting that mysterious
machine and when Touya ask how Akatsuki knows this, Uribatake
says that he sent combat data to Nergal as stated in the clause
Touya signs when boarding the Nadesico (Read those fine prints,
boy) Akatsuki continues that Nergal doesn't care WHAT Touya does
and will give him more freedom than the Federation to which
Touya says that Akatsuki is pretty much implying that he doesn't
have a choice but to go with Nergal. Akatsuki says that Touya
can think all he like but with the way the Earth is right now,
someone who's been given power like Touya should consider what
he can do closely.
As the Nadesico enters Heliopolils, Ruri says that they will do
a full maintenance and that all non repair personnel are
requested to leave the ship for a while and Kouji and the
others decides to take this time to go shopping. Aki says that
she'll be busy sending the data about the mysterious man to
their chief and Chizuru says to list the stuff Aki wants and
she'll buy it for her.
Outside, Crueset and his goons (I mean, Athrun, Deakka, Nicol ,
Izak, Rusty and Miguel) have notice the Nadesico's arrival and
the fact that the Orb colony has broken the neutrality by
secretly developing 5 mobile suits for the Federation. Athrun is
worried about the civilians who will get hurt by their attack.
Of course Jerk boy Izak says that what happen to the citizen is
their fault for living there. (I'm going to look forward to
wiping that smirk off your face, everytime)
Episode 6
Aki finishes her report to Freeman who instructs her to
accompany the surviving student down to Earth. They talk about
the alien and the mysterious D-Boy. Erina introduces herself to
the Nadesico team, she is from Nergal and will be joining them
from now on. She then proceed to lay into Yurika when Yurika
wants to go be with Akito lecturing her on the responsibility of
a captain. Prospector mutters that "not her too" which made the
others curious as to the word "too"
Later in his room, Elena and Akatsuki plans their little dark
deeds. Akatsuki note that her coming on was unexpected and Elena
says that the recorded Boson Jump was successful because of
Tenkawa Akito. They then talked about the Morgenrette (spelling?)
and it's secret project Mobile Suit.
In the colony, Kira and his friends are chatting and sees
Cagalli and wonders who she is. Meanwhile Crueset is planning
his attack. Akito is in his room wondering what he should do
when Akatsuki pops in asking Akito about not wanting to
cooperate with the Feds, and getting scared in the earlier
mission. Shouldn't a fan of Gekiganger be thrilled that they'll
protect the Earth? When asked about himself, Akatsuki says that
he LOVES to fight. Akito says that he hates fighting especially
fighting for war's sake. There has to be a life outside of
fighting.
Akatsuki then ask why he doesn't leave the ship now but
continues to stay on and Akito asks if he's looking for a fight.
However before anything can happen, the alarms goes off and
Akatsuki says they'll continue this later.
Kira and the others are evacuating since ZAFT's MS are coming
into the colonies. Kausi wonders why they're doing that since
Heliopolis is neutral.Cagalli runs off in the opposite direction
and Kira says that he'll be back and runs off to fetch the girl.
The stealing of the Gundam happens and Kira and Cagalli sees the
MS and Cagalli was annoyed that her father broke his promise.
Back at the Nadesico, the team are wondering what to do when
Yurika tells them to go in to the Colony fully to exit another
way since they can deploy the Distortion field inside the colony
unlike the docks. Akatsuki tells Touya and Akito that THIS is
the state of the Earth now, so what are THEY going to do about
it?
The three stooges (I mean, Dearka, Izak and Nicol) takes their
MS away on order while Miguel waits for Athrun and Rusty.
Murrue trying to protect the last two MS meets Kira and then
Athrun and Rusty. They got into a battle and Rusty got killed
and Athrun meets Kira in a boy meets girl type of meeting (One
with a knife out ready to stab another)
Athrun then takes the Aegis Gundam and Murrue and Kira boards
the last Gundam before anything happens to it. The Ginn attacks
and the Phase Shift armour protects the Strike Gundam. Murrue
can't really control the Gundam and Miguel note that it is easy
picking when Kira saw his friends nearby and tells Murrue about
it. He then rewrites the OS in a hurry and becomes the pilot and
Murrue notes his skills. The team deploys and Murrue contacts
the team requesting assistance. Murrue tells the team that the
other path is blocked and it will become a battlezone here if
they don't help. Miguel note that the Nadesico is planning to
escape and he'll sink it. Yurika tells everyone to deploy but to
be careful about not destroying the colony.
Kouji shouts out that he won't let ZAFT get away with anything
more and Hyouma tells his team to get ready, they'll teach ZAFT
a lesson about daring to wage war where civilians are. Ryouko
note that Coordinator and Natural are both human so how'd it get
this way but Akatsuki says that it doesn't have to do with
Natural or Coordinator as long as human are willing to kill each
other over something. They can't escape it so they have to head
in and do what they can, isn't that right, Tenkawa?
Akito tells him to be quiet, he has to focus on protecting
everyone and the Nadesico right now. David says that they met
Eiji and become friends with him so it's a bit sad to see
Earthling can't understand each other and talk. He apologizes to
Eiji saying that they've finally reached Earth and they have to
get involved in this and Eiji tells him its fine. Noal says that
they will go back to Earth. Touya tells Merua that its ok, he
doesn't want to fight,but if he has to he will, he ask about
Merua and the other two. Merua says that as long as they are on
board the Granteed together, they will leave everything to Touya.
Murrue is amazed at the Nadesico's force and Kira finishes the
OS rewriting and with him being the pilot, the Strike nows begin
to unleash it's full power. Kira tells everyone to get away from
here and they are surprised that Kira is the pilot.
The battle begins, Miguel shouts for the Natural to get out of
the way as he sees that the Strike's movement while better is
still clumsy with no training. However going up against the Blue
Comet Layzner, the Fortress of Steel Mazinger Z and the V is
for Victory Combattler V, he really has no chance and goes down
fast.
Suddenly the Archangel appears. Natarle hails the Strike and
tells Murrue that all the higher ranking officers are dead and
that she's the highest rank thus the commander of the ship.
Murrue explains the Archangel to Yurika and then Crueset comes
out with more troops but the Hawk of Endymion, Mwu La Fraga, the
Federation's ace pilot also arrives to help. His reputation is
that he uses a Mobius which really isn't that effective against
an MS and downed a boat load of them.
Mwu says not to talk about all that and that the Federation
forces were wiped out and they're on their own. Murrue ask Kira
to deploy in the Strike once more and Kira says that in exchange,
he wants them to pick up his friends since they're not in the
shelter.
The battle begins once more and Crueset notes Mwu's presence ala
Char and Amuro. The Sword Strike appears and Kira wonders how
it got to this. Hyouma shouts to Crueset that he won't forgive
them for doing this and Crueset ask what are THEY going to do
about it? Eiji notes that Crueset IS good, almost like Gale and
if he doesn't give it his all, he's going to be defeated.
Crueset note that it's a MS unlike he's seen before , just what
IS it? Kouji shouts that he'll take on the Leader mech like
Crueset and Crueset note that it's a one-off battle machine
from the Asian hemisphere on Earth against the monsters on Earth
that he was willing to overlook but it won't do much good
against him. Kira shouts why is he doing this and Crueset ask
whether Kira would be a good little boy and let him have the
Strike and when Kira says no, Crueset says that that's why
they're fighting. Crueset then shouts for Mwu to disappear and
Mwu says that he won't let Crueset do as he please. Touya shouts
that he's fought to live since then, even if the enemies are
Coordinator, he won't fail. Crueset says that even though the
machine is powerful, the pilot isn't.
Crueset then notes that he'll have to get serious with them and
retreats for awhile. There isn't much damage to Heliopolis and
Murrue note that the Nadesico team has a lot of power and
experience, so them going and coming back means that they're
very good. Murrue ask for further cooperation since they are
understaffed at the Archangel and Yurika note that their ship
isn't fully repaired and resupplyed so it might be better to
accompany the Archangel to the Federation Moon base that it
plans to go to. Natarle looks at the Nadesico and see that they
have a very powerful ship to use even though they are civilians
and what's more they are very powerful and capable in battle
which is quite dangerous.
At the Archangel, everyone is surprised to learn that Kira is
the pilot of the Strike and even more, he's a Coordinator.
Natarle, of course, wants to arrest him at once but Murrue
belays that. Kira's friends comes up to defend him. Kira is a
first generation Coordinator with Natural Parents. Murrue wants
Mwu to take over the ship but he says that while he might have
reach the rank first( not too sure what it is) he doesn't
understand the ship so its her's to command, besides he's a
pilot and have to deploy when battletime come. Crueset is
outside waiting for them even though they have the Nadesico with
them so its going to be a tough battle.
Outside, Crueset makes plan for another attack and Athrun
wonders if that was really Kira Yamato, his friend, at the MS
factory that he saw.
Episode 7
The Seed gang is wondering about Kira who's in a deep slumber.
Sai says that Kira must be really tired but Kuzzy ask why since
he didn't have to pilot the Gundam since they're with the
Nadesico. Kuzzy also wonder how Kira could rewrite the OS like
that, he knew Kira's a coordinator but that's beyond what
Coordinator can do and Sai tells him to stop it.
Back at the Nadesico, Yurika ask for Kouji and the Combattler's
team help in getting both the Nadesico and Archangel to the
Federation's moon base. Hyouma didn't think they have to
cooperate with the Feds this quick though Juuzo point out that
they did get cooperation when they were fighting Jovian Lizard
mech back then. Sayaka note that at least now her dad wouldn't
be pressured by the Feds so much. Prospector says that in this
situation, its ill advised to leave the ship for good for Touya.
Touya grumbled and says fine since there's nothing he can do and
Ruri wonders about Archangel with only the Moebius and the
Strike Gundam which only has a civilian teenage Coordinator for
a pilot.
Kouji and Jun thinks that that sounds a lot like Touya's first
time. Sayaka then smirk and says jokingly " Over there, he's
probably going " I don't want to fight" Touya retorted that he
was pressured into it back then.
Anyhow Yurika says that they will be leaving Heliopolis quickly
and for everyone to get ready. At the Archangel, Murrue
complains about the lack of able bodied crew for the Bridge and
Natarle note that they'll have to pick and train someone for the
job. Mwu marvels at the report that the Nadesico sent over about
its armed forces and how its extremely powerful for a civilian
ship and more importantly, all the pilots are ONLY in their
teens. Natarle doesn't exactly want to believe the word of Eiji,
an alien, about the Jovian Lizard being alien invader's weapon
and she is extremely annoyed about that type of power being in
civilian hands, since they could use the Nadesico's power at the
beginning of the war.
Natarle ask about the civilians they picked up and Murrue says
that they'll have to take them along since the shelters are
closed and they can't just rely on the Nadesico, they'll need to
deploy the Strike. Natarle is against having Kira pilot it again
and ask why Mwu can't pilot it. Mwu says that the rewritten OS
is beyond him and when Natarle ask what if they restore it to
the original OS, Mwu says that he don't like that sort of thing.
Kira is of course against it and before they could argue it,
ZAFT attacks and they need to leave Heliopolis, Murrue tells
them that they can't get into the shelter so they'll have to
come with the Archangel. Kira is angry at being forced into this
knowing that he's the only one that can pilot the Strike.
As the Nadesico and Archangel moves out, Mwu notice something,
they're not attacking the ship but attacking the colony itself
trying to destroy Heliopolis and take down the two ships inside
it. The team can't believe that ZAFT would be this mad to do it
and Natarle says that because of the power of the Nadesico,
they'll go to extreme length to destroy them. Yurika then ask
Natarle if she's accusing them of causing this and Megumi then
mutter that they just got saved by the Nadesico, Natarle's such
a (censored) and when Sayaka says that they haven't cut the
communication, Megumi replies "I know, I wanted her to hear it"
Yurika tells the Archangel that their only way is to leave the
colony and face the Zaft regiment head on to stop them. As they
leave, Natarle couldn't believe that Yurika could have made such
a sound decision. Kira also deploy but state that it's not for
them but for his friends on the ship. Ryouko shout that it's
their turn to deploy now.
As the team takes on Miguel and the other Zaft MS, Kouji
introduces himself to Kira and says that he don't know why Kira
is with them but let's take out the enemies together. Kira is a
bit silent and Sayaka note that Kira REALLY doesn't like to
fight. Suddenly the four stolen Gundam comes in as enemy
reinforcement. Athrun wants to make sure if the Strike Pilot is
Kira Yamato or not and rushes the Strike, opening a
communication line.
The two old friends turned enemies can't believe this is
happening. Athrun ask Kira why he is with the Feds and Kira says
that he isn't, he has friends on the ship that's why he has to
protect them. Kira ask Athrun why he's fighting, didn't he says
that he hated war and Athrun said that after the Bloody
Valentine incident on Eunius 7 where his mom died by the Fed's
hand, he thought otherwise. Athrun tells Kira that they're not
enemies, they don't have to fight if Kira comes with him, he's a
Coordinator, their friends. Kira says that he isn't ZAFT and
Athrun tells him to get a grip since if he doesn't ,he'll have
to shoot Kira. (You know, maybe this is why Shin didn't come to
his sense at all in Destiny, Athrun is bad at convincing,
especially to males).
Izak and the others tell Athrun to pull back and he reluctantly
does so. Miguel attacks Kira saying that this should have been
stolen alongside the others but since he's ordered to destroy it,
he will. Of course Miguel goes down fast.
Merua ask if the stolen Gundams are a Federation's mech and
Touya say that it's a new top secret mech but Granteed's spec
is pretty good so they won't be taken down easily.
Dearka note that the Strike is the remaining Gundam and he'll
sink it but Kira says that he won't let the Archangel go down.
Nicol says that the Blitz Gundam can equally take on the Strike
and Izak says that he won't go down that easily against some one
with that bad a fighting style.
Natarle says to take out the Duel before it's in position but
Izak says that he'll sink the Archangel. Nicol says that it's
the Federation's fault for building these things but he got shot
down pretty quickly and have to retreat. Dearka can't seem to
find any mid range weapon for the Buster and has to joust for
position. He got taken down pretty quick too and so does Izak
who JUST can't believe he got taken down by Naturals (Get used
to the feeling, whipping boy)
Soon it is just Athrun, and as he face Kira he shouted that if
Kira don't stop, he'll have to kill him. Athrun gets defeated
and have to retreat, but the damage by ZAFT is too great to
Heliopolis and it begins to blow up and the team have to retreat.
Afterward, Kira ask to search for the shelter pods that have
survive, Natarle is outraged by this (she's outraged by
everything) for using the oh so precious and top secret Gundam
for this. She says to leave the rescue for others but Kira says
that the Shelter Podcould be damaged and wouldn't last long.
Natarle tells them to look at the situation and that they can't
take in civilians right now. Yurika then says that if that's the
case, then, they can put the civilian in the Nadesico since it's
ORIGINAL purpose is to bring back the civilians on Mars.
At the Nadesico dock, Kouji and the others met Kira. Tenia and
the others ask him how he got to pilot the thing and once he
told them, Tenia says that it's a lot like Touya's situation.
Touya ask why Kira wants to pilot that thing, he can tell that
Kira's scared and Kira says that he's the only one who can since
he rewrote the Gundam's OS and he has friends in the Archangel.
Afterward when the Shelter Pod open, Kira note that its an
acquaintance Flay Alstar. Aki note that since Fley's friend are
on the Archangel, its best that she goes there for emotional
support.
Elsewhere Crueset learns that the Strike's pilot is Athrun's old
friend and Athrun ask for one more chance to convince him and if
not, he'll kill Kira. Crueset plans to go after the Nadesico and
Archangel since they are dangerous.
At the Archangel, Sai and Fley are reunited and Kira tells Tol
that the people and the pilot of the Nadesico are mostly their
age and that it didn't feel at all like a military ship. Miri
tells Fley that they are on the run from ZAFT so she can't leave
and that at least its better than being in a half destroyed
shelter pod.
Mwu comes in telling Kira to at least take proper maintenance of
his mech before leaving since he's the only one who can pilot it.
Kira doesn't like it and Mwu says that they're the only one who
can protect the Archangel if its under attack even though
they're with the Nadesico because in a crisis, the mech from the
Nadesico will have to protect the Nadesico first. Of course in
all this Fley ask Kuzzy (the big mouth ) how Kira can pilot the
Gundam and learn that he's a Coordinator just like the ZAFT
people. Toll and Sai shuts him up and tells Fley that Kira's
their friend. Kira meanwhile is alone and in emotional pain of
the thought of having fight his best friend and the thought of
it happening again until one or the other is dead.
At the Nadesico, Yurika tells the other that they'll be heading
towards the Federation Moon base. Akito listen to all this
quietly when he is approached by Kouji, Hyouma and the others.
Kouji said that they heard from Megumi and that they haven't
really forgotten about Gai and his sacrifice since because of it
they're still alive. Touya says that he likes Gai and was a bit
shocked at what happened but with the rapidly changing scenario
and danger after danger that they were in, he could only think
about surviving himself back then. Akito finally understand that
everyone else isn't that cold hearted about Gai dying and Hyouma
says that they've returned from Mars to find the worsening
condition on Earth so they have to fight in his stead and defeat
the Grados and the Alien to protect the Earth and of course ZAFT
for doing what they did to Heliopolis.
Akito then tells Akatsuki that even though they'll reach the
Moon Base, he won't leave the ship and stay with the Nadesico
since he have something to protect which perks the ears of
Yurika and Megumi who think its them. They were let down when
Akito says that it's Gai. Akito says that he don't want to fight
in an army that in order to protect something, they have to lose
something. Gai wants to protect the Earth but he didn't join the
army and Akito wants to find out what the reason is in battle.
(What I think he meant is to follow in Gai's footstep and
preserve his memory) Hikaru and Ryouko says that that is SO like
Akito
Episode 8
Crueset has a puff assignment for Athrun, it seems that the ship
that rendezvous with them isn't here to help them but to ask for
help in looking for Lacus Kline, Athrun's pre engaged fiancee
and daughter of a very influential person in the Plants (not
sure what the title officially is) Crueset says that Athrun
can't be THAT cold in not going to look for her. Lacus's ship
went missing in the debris field and is assumed to have been
attacked by the Jupiter Lizard or the Aliens. Beside, ZAFT still
need to win and keep the support of the Plants and something
that makes Athrun looks like a knight in shining armour to them
is good. Athrun reluctantly agrees to take on the assignment.
The Nadesico and the Archangel meanwhile are in the said debris
field that got a lot larger ever since the war started. There
are tons of ships remains from Federation and ZAFT. They are
here to avoid ZAFT detection and to also salvage rations, parts
and whatever else they can use for their journey since both ship
haven't been fully prepared to head to the moon base. Mwu thanks
the Nadesico crew for helping since humanoid machines are best
suited for this. The team feels a little morbid pillaging ships
remain, Ryouko in particular is quite scared about the ghosts in
these ships and gets taunted by Izumi and Hikaru. Akito note
that its quite different and nice for Ryouko to be acting like a
girl for once and she shouted for him to finish his search for
supplies.
Kira, in the meanwhile, has found an escape pod from ZAFT and
has decided to bring it back to the Archangel even though
Natarle protest. The others hope that when they open it up, a
skeletal corpse won't drop out. David says that it COULD be a
princess who pops out and gives them a kiss for rescuing her and
Hyouma says that if that's so it'll be a ZAFT princess.
Kouji and the others decide to come see who is in the escape pod
and when out pops a young pink haired woman with a pink Haro who
calls herself Lacus Kline and Akatsuki realize that this is the
daughter of Shigel Kline, the influential person in the Plants,
Kouji and the others couldn't believe that it really IS a
princess.
Akito and the others are shown the mess hall of the Archangel
and they have to agree that the Nadesico's is far better since
it isn't military. Tol, Mirri, Kuzzy who led them around says
that they were surprised when Kira told them that the pilots at
the Nadesico are their age. David says that he and Roan are
different than from Kouji and Hyouma because they pilot their
SPT in order to survive and to return to Earth. Roan says that
its because of Eiji that they could come back. Lacus interrupts
asking what the talking is about. Flay freaks out at seeing
Lacus, the ZAFT woman, walking around freely. Lacus says that
she is not ZAFT since ZAFT is the military but Flay says they're
the same since they're all Coordinators which gives Kira pauses.
Lacus says that she's not military and neither is Flay so
they're the same and she wants to introduce herself but Flay
wouldn't have any of it and says that she doesn't want to be
friends with Lacus and that something genetically manufactured
like Coordinator shouldn't be on the same level as normal people
which shocks Kira and Sai shuts her up. Flay says that she
wasn't talking about Kira. Chisuru ask for Kira to escort Lacus
back to her room and she'll be right there to get her something
to eat and drink. Sayaka and the others afterward grills Flay
asking if she's a Blue Cosmos, a fanatic group about superiority
of Natural over Coordinator. Flay says that while she doesn't
condone what they do, they're not wrong in what they say. A
genetically enhanced human is definitely wrong. Akito says while
that might be true, her way of saying it is very bad, he's born
on Mars and could be considered a Martian but he lives just like
they did peacefully on Mars. Flay tries to protest but Milli
says that Flay hurts Kira and she has to apologize. Kuzzy
wonders whether they'll be ok and Kouji and Hyouma says that
they will since they're here to protect the two ships and Kira
is doing his best to protect them too. Sayaka says that because
Tol and the others aren't doing anything to affect the situation,
that makes them feel uneasy and helpless since Kira's the only
one fighting. Kouji agrees with Sayaka saying that Tol and the
others should have a hand in making the situation better and
safe. Kuzzy says that they just got caught into this situation
(he's whiner all right) Roan says that that's the same with him
and David on Mars but he learned from only being able to run and
have Eiji protects them that there IS something that they can
both do, so they asked Eiji to train them to pilot SPT so that
they can fend for themselves and help Eiji out. If there is
something that they can do then they should do it since if
they're dead, they can't regret not doing it, Roan and David
says to Tol and the others. Roan confess that he's still scared
about fighting and wants to go home to Earth so that he wouldn't
have to fight.
Tol and the others thought about what Roan and David just said
and Tol note that its not good for Kira alone to be fighting and
Milli continues that they can't do nothing while Kira is giving
it his all and Sai says that the Archangel is still lacking in
Bridge crew. Kuzzy wonders if they can do it but Tol says that
they can at least try and give it a shot.
Kira leads Lacus back to her room and ask her that she don't
come out again or he'll have to lock her in and there are people
on this ship with not too favourable views on Coordinator.Lacus
lament that she wouldn't get to know everyone but she knows that
HE'S kind, Kira says that he's also a Coordinator but Lacus says
that his kindness has nothing to do about his genetics and ask
him his name.
After Kira exits Lacus room, he finds his friends in Federation
uniform, Tol says that they'll fight too by becoming the
Archangel's Bridge crew and that Kira isn't fighting alone. Kira
thanks his friends and they hear Lacus's beautiful song through
the door. Although the mood is spoiled when Sai says that
Lacus's voice is engineered for that.
Natarle and Erina want to use Lacus's position as a hostage to
ensure safe passage and "favourable" negotiation with ZAFT but
Ruri and Megumi doesn't like that because it's what villains do.
At the Bridge, Milli, in her new job, gets contact by the
Halbaton Fleet nearby.
Tol and the others are ecstatic that they are being picked up by
another Fed fleet so soon and heading the Fleet is Flay's father.
Kira ask if when they meet, he wouldn't have to pilot the Strike
anymore and Mardock says that if they have a spare pilot for it,
he'll be relieved but till then the Strike is his.
However the Halbaton Fleet is attacked by ZAFT and Yurika wants
to go to its aid. Natarle is against this because she wants to
avoid battle with ZAFT again but Ruri says that the odds of the
Halbaton Fleet winning especially against the four stolen
Gundams are non-existent. Yurika says that she can't abandon
people in need and if the Archangel won't go, then the Nadesico
is leaving alone to protect them. Of course Erina is against
this also but Murrue note that even if they escape the ZAFT
fleet, they will lose the protection of the Nadesico and they
won't stand well against attack by the Jupitorian Lizard or the
Alien with just the Strike and the Moebius Zero. Natarle says
that if they DO go, she'll officially file a complaint when they
get to a Federation Base and Murrue tells her to do what she
wants if they survive this.
Kira is rushing to the Strike when Flay stops him and begs him
to protect her dad and Kira tells her that its going to be all
right, they're here now.
The teams deploy but standing before them are Yzak and Dearrka
in their Gundams along with ZAFT troops. Ruri says that the
Halbaton Fleet are still fine but they need to hurry. Yzak note
that they attacked one Fed fleet and drew the Archangel out of
hiding, this time they'll sink it. The battle begins and the
Buster and the Duel confronts the Strike.
Yzak shouts "You're going down, Strike!!" and Kira note that he
can't be defeated now with everyone on board, he also notes that
they have to finish this quick if they are going to rescue the
Purpleton Fleet and Dearka says that he's not going down that
easily. Of course against three Super Robot and the rest, the
two Gundams are no match and quickly retreat.
However the battle took too long and Flay bust into the
Archangel's bridge wanting to know what happened to her father
when Ruri report that the Purpleton Fleet was wiped out with
apparently no survivors. Flay is hysteric, she shouted that Kira
PROMISED her that her dad would be safe, that they were there
now. Murrue barks orders and tell both ship to begin evacuation
at once and Natarle ask if she REALLY think they can leave
without getting caught.
Crueset deploys with his troops noting that for such a mundane
prey that they killed, they did pretty good attracting better
prey. He asks whether Nicol is using the Mirage Colloid and is
told yes and also that Athrun is heading their way as
reinforcement.
The battle begins again and Crueset taunts Mwu saying that it's
so bad that they couldn't make rendezvous with their friends but
maybe in hell they can meet. Mwu is angry at Crueset's disregard
for life and the two battles. Crueset got the living censored
beaten out of him. However the team's apparent victory is cut
short when the Aegis Gundam appears and also apparently out of
nowhere, so does the Blitz Gundam appear near the Archangel's
bridge section with weapons raised
Nicol tells the Archangel and the Nadesico to surrender or he
will destroy the Archangel's bridge and kill everyone. Hyouma
wonders how the Blitz Gundam could have avoided detection and
Natarle says that it is equipped with the Mirage Colloid that
makes it almost undetectable to which Hyouma note that she
should have told them before hand. See what happens when
Federation keeps secret from you. Everyone is in shock not
knowing what to do for a short while when Natarle barges in with
Lacus and opens the communication line and tell Nicol and the
other ZAFT soldiers that they have recovered Lacus Kline's
escape pod and she is on the ship's bridge and if Nicol fires,
he will kill Lacus alongside them. Natarle tells the ZAFT to
retreat or else something horrible will happen to Lacus. The
team is shocked at what Natarle is doing although Akatsuki note
that it's probably something that would have happened sooner or
later with Lacus. Yurika and Ruri tells her that this makes
them looks like villains and Juuzo explains to Hyouma who is in
shock that Natarle plans to kill Lacus herself if they do not
retreat. Nicol is aghasted at how low the Federation is willing
to stoop and Crueset noting that it would be better right now to
not let Lacus die although she IS a pain and sounds the retreat.
Athrun says that THIS is the Federation that Kira's fighting for?
THIS is his Justice? using innocent civilians as hostage? He
WILL get Lacus back somehow and retreat. Natarle tells Murrue
that they JUST cannot lose the ArchAngel and the Strike to ZAFT
no matter the cost.
Mardock is surprised to see Kouji and the others docking into
the Archangel and says that their ship is over there. Kouji,
Sayaka, Hyouma, Akito are furious at what Natarle did and wants
an explanation from Mwu. Is THIS how the Federation fights? Mwu
says that in that situation, there was no way out, the Blitz
Gundam had the Archangel and Natarle did the only thing they
could have done besides surrendering.
Beside is it all right for the Nadesico to just run away and let
the Archangel surrender on its own and Kira has friends here,
would he have like to see them killed in a desperate attempt to
fight back. Akito says that all these military people are all
alike (i.e scum) Akatsuki and Noal stop them and says that they
had no choice right then, and could someone come up with a
better way? Akito says that there HAS to be one and Kouji says
that given time, they could have defeated the Blitz and rescued
everyone. Akatsuki says that at that time, quick thinking and
quick actions were needed, and the result is that no lives were
lost. ANYONE can complain later but the fact is that they're
still here and not in ZAFT prison.
Touya then ask Akatsuki whether HE thought what Natarle did was
right, that war equals innocent civilian hostages? Akatsuki says
no but all of them better act like adults in the battlefield
which gets Akito very angry. Akatsuki continues that getting
angry and dissing Murrue, Natarle or Mwu won't help if you don't
have a better solution. Kouji says that they're just not happy
with what she did but Noal says that it's the same with him but
it's not something so serious that they can't help these people
anymore. Akatsuki says that what they're feeling right now is
just helplessness at not being able to do anything in that
situation. Then Akatsuki had to go ruin it by smirking at them
telling them to see their own helplessness (You know, I would
have REALLY like for you to go bad in the later chapter so that
we can kill you horribly)
Mwu says that for Murrue, that was the worst case scenario for
her but that they have to do it in order to not lose. He'd like
to think that that's the case.
Kira comes into see Flay and she is still hysterical about her
dad's ship. She calls Kira a liar for not protecting her dad's
ship and why didn't he just get rid of them (i.e. Athrun, which
is weird since Athrun never joined THIS battle) Mirri tries to
calm Flay down but she says that Kira hasn't given it his all
because he's also a Coordinator like them. This hurts Kira badly
and he left. Later in the hallway, he cries his heart out at all
that has happened within these past few days. Lacus comes to
comfort him since the Pink Haro picked the locks in her room.
Kira sobbed saying that he doesn't want to fight ZAFT, he's also
a Coordinator, he was friend with Athrun. This intrigues Lacus
and Kira explains that Athrun was the pilot of the Aegis and
that they had to fight. Lacus says that Athrun and Kira are both
good people and that this is tragic. When asked how she knew
Athrun, Lacus says that she is engaged to him. Lacus continues
that Athrun is kind but very silent but he gave her the Pink
Haro. Kira says that Athrun's the same since he gave Kira the
Tori robo bird he made himself. Lacus wish that they didn't have
to fight each other.
Episode 9
Tol and the others are talking about how hard this must be on
Kira and Kuzzy wonder whether Kira is really giving it his all
because he overheard Kira's conversation with Lacus about him
not wanting to fight ZAFT because his best friend Athrun was
part of the ZAFT troops that stole the four Gundams. Milli tells
Kuzzy and everyone to not tell Flay this since she's very
unstable right now from losing her father because she thinks
Kira didn't give it his all, who knows what this'll do to her.
Too bad that Flay was listening behind the door and heard
everything.
Murrue note that the hostage situation was hard for Kira but the
pilots in the Nadesico are taking this even harder. She notes
that if they have to use Lacus as a hostage again, they may lose
the protection of the Nadesico. Natarle state that she really
thought that in that situation, it was the only way to not lose.
They are contacted by Jun from the Nadesico whom Natarle
recognize as a former promising military man who resigned to
join the Nadesico. Jun says that the ZAFT troops are still
following them and when asked where Yurika is, is told that she
went to work on more important stuff and Murrue thinks that
Yurika probably won't want to talk to either her or Natarle
right now.
Meanwhile at the Nadesico's infirmary, Dr. Elizabeth, Noal, Aki
and Anna are looking up on the mysterious man they picked up
from space who is still comatosed. Said man wakes up and grabs
Anna for hostage asking if they are Radam or not. When he learns
that the team picked him up and are fighting the alien Radam, he
lets Anna go. Noal question him about his weird techno suit and
Aki ask him his name to which the man says that he forgot about
it and that his only purpose is to defeat the Radam. He says
that he's an Earthling even though Noal wonders how he can
transform like that. The man intends to get out to complete his
mission but is stopped by Aki and he brushed her aside only to
fall down and lose consciousness again from the wounds he
received earlier. Noal note that this D-Boy (Dangerous Boy) is
quite a handful thus christening him D-Boy.
At the Nadesico bridges where Dr.Elizabeth is giving her report
on D-Boy, Jun is wondering where some of the pilots are and are
told by Ruri that they are at the Archangel to do stuff.
Kira takes Lacus out and met Kouji, Akito, Touya and Hyouma who
also are not happy with the way Lacus is being used as a hostage
bargaining chip. Kira tries to plead with them to let her go and
they says that they thought so too which is why they're here to
help. After all, if Kira takes Lacus back to ZAFT, he might be
ambushed after he handed her over. They plan to take Lacus back
to ZAFT by signaling Crueset's troop and hand her over. The team
is helped by Sai and the others Sai ask for reassurance from
Kira that he's coming back right? Kira promise and they launched.
Once Natarle finds out about this, she is furious (as usual) and
orders them all back. Yurika said that she gave permission for
this since it isn't right to be using hostages. Erina questioned
her decision and ask if this is what captains are supposed to do
and Yurika says that if they continue to have Lacus as hostage,
it will affect the morale of all the pilots so it's better that
she be returned.
Kira radioed Crueset's troop who comes and he ask for the pilot
of the Aegis to come get Lacus alone otherwise the deal's off.
Athrun agrees to this and comes, confirming that it is Lacus
Kline. Natarle plans to at least get the ship to open fire and
take down the Aegis but Mwu says that if she does that, Kira's
not coming back and the others will desert them and she grumbles.
As Lacus is sent to the Aegis's cockpit, she thanks Kira and
Athrun look at him and tells Kira to come too. With the Strike's
speed, he can outrun his other chaperones. This is where Kira
belongs, with ZAFT. Kira says that he has friends on the ship
and he wants to protect them and Athrun says that if that's the
case the next time they meet, he will strike Kira down and Kira
says uneasily that he'll have to do the same to Athrun.
Crueset plans to attack and destroy them all and deploy all his
troops after the exchange is complete but Lacus seeing this and
as thanks to Kira and the rest ask for Crueset to retreat for
her and he thinks that it is best not to argue against her right
now and sound the retreat. Once they have retreated, the Radam
beast arrives. The battle begins and D-Boy awakens. D-Boy saw
them and goes out to the airlock despite the protest of
Dr.Elizabeth and others who says that he'll die. D-Boy says that
he won't die and he raise his crystal in the air shouting
"Teksetter!!". A light envelope him and he jump out into space.
He announces himself "Tekkaman Blade!!!" Murrue and Mwu are
shocked to see Blade and Yurika says that he's someone they
picked up before coming to Heliopolis.
Enemy reinforcement arrives in the form of more Radam Beast and
Tekkaman Dagger who sense the presence of Blade. The fight
begins again and Dagger says that he will destroy the traitor
and Blade says that the one to die is Dagger, he'll stop their
ambition. The team is surprised at the two Tekkaman and wonders
whether to trust him or not but Touya says that he didn't attack
them last time even though the enemy have someone like him, he
guess that they should trust Blade. Noal says that he still
don't trust Blade and will blow him up if he does anything
tricky to which Blade says that he don't care, he wants to
destroy the Radam.
Dagger shouted for the Earthling to get out of the way and he'll
kill them later and that remark annoyed Touya a lot.
Blade confronts Dagger and Dagger shouts "You won't escape this
time, Die Tekkaman Blade!!" but Blade retorted " I won't die,
not until I've beaten you all !!"
And Dagger falls and he retreats.
After the fight, Ruri says that a large amount of Jupitorina
Lizard are heading their way and Mwu says that its Crueset's
handywork by disturbing Tulips around here and fleeing while the
team battle the Radam so that the Jupitorian mech would seek the
team out. Having just fought the Radam, the team is in no
condition to take on the large amount of Jupitorian so Murrue
says that they'll have to do reentry to Earth right now to avoid
them. The team are preparing for emergency reentry when Tekkaman
Blade drops in to the Nadesico and transforms back into D-Boy
again who falls to his knee. He says that he needs food and
drinks since the Tekkaman System draws on his energy immensely.
Noal ask if the Dagger they fought was also a Tekkaman and D-Boy
says he is and ask about his new name to which Noal says that if
he doesn't like it, he can always tell them his true name to
which D-Boy says that the name D-Boy is fine.
The team then begins to grill him about the Tekkaman System, why
he is being their ally when the enemy also has Tekkaman and just
what are the Radam. D-Boy says that he is an Earthling but he's
forgotten the rest, he's an amnesiac man. Ryouko and Hikaru says
that even a ten year old can lie better than that but D-Boy
continues with his stance saying that all he remembers is that
he is Tekkaman and that he must destroy the Radam. Noal gets
angry but Aki stops him. Akito, David and Roan wonder if D-Boy
is REALLY amnesiac. Before any more can happen, the Nadesico is
under attack from enemy fire. The two ships enter the atmosphere
and the Jupitorian stop pursuing them. However the team has
landed smack in the middle of the Radam Forest in ZAFT territory
with Jupitorian Tulip nearby. They are not out of the wood yet.
After the landing, Mwu notice the situation and note that this
is bad; it'll be murder for them to escape this territory. At
their room, Tol and the others confirm that the Aegis pilot is
really Kira's old friend and he invited Kira to join them. Flay
enters the room and saw that Lacus is gone and Sai says that the
Nadesico pilots didn't feel right about it so they took her back
to ZAFT. Flay ask for Kira thinking that he won't do it at this
rate.
Meanwhile Athrun and Lacus are having a little talk about Kira
to which Athrun says that he is an idiot for letting the Feds
manipulate him like that but Lacus says that Kira doesn't really
want to fight Athrun and Athrun says that it's the same with him.
Lacus note that Athrun seems to have lost his smile for a while
and Athrun says that he can't laugh and be happy while waging
war.
Episode 10
Kouji, Sayaka and the others are looking at the Radam forest on
Earth. They note how ill looking this thing is. Aki finishes her
test on the atmosphere here and state that there is no danger
such as alien virus,etc from it yet. Akatsuki says that aside
from burrowing underground to become these forests, the Radam
that descended haven't done anything yet. Kateia wonders what
purpose these forests serves and Akatsuki says that if D-Boy
opens up his mouth, they should know more about the Radam but he
isn't. Merua wonders if some of the things grown in these forest
can be eaten and Noal says no. Kouji and Touya is a bit
depressed that while they were at Mars, this sort of thing
happened. Tenia tells Touya to cheer up but he says that he's
always down after seeing this weird dream about a woman kneeling
and praying. Akatsuki tells everyone that they should be getting
back to the ship.
Mardock reports to Murrue and Natarle about the condition of the
Archangel and the time they would need to fix it. It would go
faster if they ask the Nadesico's mechanic crew for help.
Natarle is against exposing the inner working of the top secret
Archangel to outsider but Murrue oks it saying that they are in
a position where they can be attack by ZAFT and the Radam so
they have to be able to make it to a Federation base.
Later, Uribatake argues with Mardock on how to do things quickly
but they resolved it and Murrue thanks him for helping but
Uribatake say "Anything for a beautiful lady" which of course
freaks Murrue out.
At the Archangel Mess Hall, Sai takes Flay in and when she saw
Kira she apologize for what she said back then saying that she
was in shock. She wants the war to end quickly since war's bad.
And then she says Kira to kill them all in revenge for her daddy.
Kira meekly agrees and Flay thought "That's right, no matter how
much you hate it, you're going to have to fight and kill them
all" Thus began Flay's seduction of the supposedly innocent.
Mwu is looking at the SkyGrasper that he is going to use on
Earth and note that it can also be equipped with the Striker
Pack as with Strike Gundam and can give it to Strike to equip in
the midst of battle. Mwu jokingly wonder if he is going to be
reduce to being a carrier boy for Kira Mardock tells Mwu that he
should take a test flight.
Akatsuki comes over and talk to Mwu about what happened with
Lacus. Mwu says that Kira and most of the others aren't military
so its perfectly normal that they would react that way and they
didn't really do much with her except for that one necessary
time. Mwu says that Kira is a bit wary about them over this but
Natarle is the most upset over losing THIS good a bargaining
chip to which Akatsuki says that its like her.
Akatsuki says that he's more worried about Kira and Mwu says
that having a friend for an enemy in Crueset's troop is bad and
he wish that they would arrive at a Fed base quicker so that he
can be dismissed from piloting the Strike. Uribatake who is
around ask why Akatsuki is interested in Kira and Akatsuki says
that a Coordinator who cooperate with the Federation is quite a
big news, especially one with his piloting capability. He'd like
Kira to do his best from now on. Mwu tells Akatsuki to not says
that in front of Kira i.e. treating him as a weapon.
Meanwhile at the Nadesico, Yurika is asking D-Boy what he plans
to do and D-Boy says that he only want to fight the Radam, and
that's all. Yurika says that they have other enemies beside
Radam and isn't it better to just fight everything alongside
them. Chisuru ask if D-Boy has any where else to go and he
doesn't. Yurika then agrees that he SHOULD fight alongside them
since its for the best. D-Boy says that he won't follow any
one's order and that THEY have other enemies. Erina ask if that
means that he won't get involved even with the situation with
the Grados and ZAFT. D-Boy says that fighting the Radam is all
that he can concentrate on. Noal mocks him for being a Radam
otaku and Aki says that fighting them all alone is dangerous,
and if they're with him they can at least rescue him seeing that
he didn't do too well against them when they first met. Ruri
says that they don't know much about the Radam either and having
him with them will help. While he's free to leave, the situation
here isn't exactly that friendly.
Dr. Elizabeth says that if he has amnesia, if he remember
something then it would help against the fight with Radam such
as why the enemies have a Tekkaman, why a supposed Earthling
like him can become a Tekkaman and such. D-Boy counter that all
they really wanted to do is examine the TekCrystal right?
Inez says that they found out absolutely nothing examining it
and D-Boy surprise everyone saying that he'd like to know more
about it too. Erina says that he'll need backup for fighting
Radam and that he might as well cooperate with them if he plans
to cooperate with the Federation.
D-Boy says that the Federations are no match for the Radam,
though the team might be different. The talk is interrupted by
Ruri saying that she detects some sort of fighting going on near
here. It's the Jupiter Lizard vs. someone, may be ZAFT. Kouji
decides to go investigate and drags Touya along. Akito also
decides to go and Yurika mistakes it as his love for her. Ryouko
volunteer to chaperone him which got giggles from Izumi and
Hikaru
Mwu ends up accompanying them too as his test flight for the
SkyGrasper. As they near the battle, they see a mysterious group
of enemy defeating the Batta that keeps coming. Al Van appears
to tell Jyua Mu to use the Las Erem to finish them off since
they are only here to scout. They do and the Las Erem activates
the Stasis Bed which freezes their opponent making them easy
picking.
Kouji and the others saw this and when Al Van and Jyua Mu see
the Granteed Al Van note that the samples that escape are still
alive, though its weird since THEY can't pilot it that well for
a real battle. Anyhow the decision is made to kill off the team
beside the Granteed so that Al Van can find out what that
"Lord's" plan was. Touya feels something and tells everyone that
Al Van and friends are hostile. Kouji then remembers them, they
were the one who appeared after Granteed crash into his school.
Merua freaks out and tells Touya to run but Al Van activates the
Las Erem freezing everyone but Touya. As Jyua Mu and the others
rush them, Touya notice that the others are frozen and ask
what's going on. However suddenly the Granteed's system flash to
life in Merua's quarter and she suddenly understands and tell
Touya that whatever those guys did to freeze Kouji and the
others, they can undo it. She tells Touya to focus on Al Van's
mech and they release the other from Stasis. Al Van note that
the Stasis is gone and tells Jyua Mu to be careful. Merua says
that they did it but even without being frozen, they are no
match for Al Van and friends right now.
Kouji and the others see them coming and note that they are too
close to run away and have to fight. Jyua Mu is shocked that
they can move. Al Van note that his mech is old and the Las Erem
in it might have malfunction, he'll need to check it out once
they go back to base. Even without the system, the team is no
match for them so he tells Jyua Mu to finish them off but to be
careful since their mech are important.
The grunts attack Akito sending him crashing to the ground.
Another one targets Kouji who fires but miss getting attacked
also. Jyua Mu targets Touya and says that he may have allow them
to get away last time, but they're still no match for him and
attacks the Granteed ferociously. Mwu sees the worsening
situation and targets Al Van hoping to turn the tide but his
attack bounce off harmlessly against Al Van's barrier. However
before Al Van can down Mwu, Jyua Mu is attacked by the newly
arrived Dancougar.
Sara demands to know why Shinobu miss all his shot and Shinobu
says that those were warning shot. Jyua Mu in his gloated state
tells Al Van that he'll easily handle them and flies right at
them only to be attacked by a trap that Cagalli, who's with the
Dancougar team, set up for the ZAFT. Jyua Mu says that that
won't stop him but Al Van tells him to retreat since all their
mech are important and the Las Erem isn't working. They'll meet
the team again. Jyua Mu obeys but Al Van wonders, the pilot of
the Granteed can't be one of the three sample, who else can use
the Sytron?
They disappear and everyone wonders what they are. Touya note
that those were the so called friend that the person who created
Granteed betrayed? Also, just what was it that they did to the
others to freeze them. The others don't seem to remember. Mwu
thanks the Dancougar team for saving them. Sara ask Cagalli what
to do next after saving them and Cagalli says that these guys
are part of the Archangel and Nadesico.
Kouji and the others learn that the Dancougar have been helping
Cagalli who are the Resistance against ZAFT.Mwu doubt that the
Resistance could have build Dancougar and Ryou wonder where he
notice Mwu before and then remember about Mwu's reputation as
the Hawk of Endymion. Shinobu says that they are not Resistance
but were sent by Mythril to aid the Resistance. Mwu couldn't
believe that Mythril actually exist and explains to the other
that Mythril is like an independent shadow military under no one
nation's command dedicated to protecting the world.
Suddenly the Nadesico arrives. Yurika says that the Radam are
coming down to attack and they have to fight it. D-Boy sees the
Radam and henshin into Tekkaman Blade to which Noal mocks him
saying that if it comes to Radam, it seems that Blade don't have
a problem going to fight it. Shinobu decides to join in the
fight also. Kira also appear in the Strike and Mwu ask if he's
finally gotten out of the woe is me stage and ready to fight.
Kira says that Mwu says to do what you can, even though he
doesn't like fighting, he won't run away from doing what he can.
After they finished off the Radam, strange cyclopean MS appears.
Ryouko asked Akatsuki what they are and while he's glad she
asked he has no idea. Tekkaman Blade is silent and Noal ask him
if because it's not Radam, he's not gonna fight. Blade look at
him and say "Fine... I guess I can fight in exchange for food
here". After the team dispatched a few of them, a monstrous
Gundam appear followed by another, the Shining Gundam piloted by
Domon Kasshu. Shinobu and Sara notice the monstrous Gundam and
note that they never thought they'd find it here. Domon shouted
"I've finally found you Kyouji!! You and the Devil Gundam" He
tells Rain to stay back and he attacked the Death Army MS. He
tells the team to stay out of the way. The Devil Gundam is his.
This makes the hothead on the team like Hyouma, Shinobu, Sara,
and Kouji very angry and they ask if he's picking a fight with
them, if so, they're gonna beat the living daylight out of him.
Yurika tries to calm both sides down and ask Domon who he is and
why he's trying to antagonize them. Domon, the one with anger
management problem, tells them just his name and title and
starts fighting the Devil Gundam.
Ruri wonder where they've seen THIS type of behaviour before
and Noal looks back at Blade and say "Wow... D-Boy, someone AS
headstrong and reckless as YOU is popping out of the woodwork"
Blade of course remains silent.
The team takes on the Devil Gundam but even after they damage it
pretty good it regenerates its part and takes off. Domon, in
frustration, tells Rain that they are following it but Rain says
that the Devil Gundam's speed is too fast to catch up to. The
way the Earth is now, it ISN'T the time for a lone trek against
the Devil Gundam. Beside, the Shining Gundam, also, is at its
limit and needs more maintenance for her to do alone. Rain
suggests asking for cooperation from the Nergal ship but Domon
doesn't want to and decides to go. However the Shining Gundam
begins to malfunction and he is forced to do as Rain asked.
Shinobu explains the Dancougar team's mission to aid the
resistance against the ZAFT, Radam and Jupiter Lizard but most
of the resistance were wiped out by them and the town they use
as a base got turned into a Radam forest and their supplies were
burned by ZAFT. Sara says that its give and take, they help the
team against the mysterious enemy, the Radam, and the Death Army
so in return, they want to go with the ship to escape because
they can't contact their friends here with the N Jammer
functioning.
Yurika agrees and say that they'll talk more when they reach the
Archangel and turns to ask Domon and Rain about their mission.
Rain explains that they are pursuing the Devil Gundam, which was
designed by Domon's father in the Colony to restore the Earth.
Shosuke remember something like it being talked about in the
scientific community, the Ultimate Project by Dr. Kasshu. Rain
says that it's the same thing but now the Ultimate Gundam has
become the Devil Gundam and means more harm to Earth than it can
restore it. Ryou says that he heard about the Ultimate Gundam
from Mythril but this is the first he's heard of the Devil
Gundam, what happened to it.
Rain says that she doesn't know the full detail but Kyouji
Kasshu, Domon's older brother made the Ultimate Gundam go
berserk and escaped with it so they are in pursuit of it. Anna
is shocked that siblings have to fight each other but Domon says
that Kyouji is no longer his brother. Its because of him that
his mother is dead and his dad in deep freeze.Domon continues
that he won't rest until he finishes off both Kyouji and the
Devil Gundam. D-Boy listens to all of this and is oddly silent.
He then leaves the room which made Aki wonders why but Noal says
that the guy is too much of a loner to share his thoughts.
Rain says that they are under order to destroy the Devil Gundam
from the Federation but in this situation, with other enemies
and the Shining Gundam in need of repair and supply, they can't
really do it.
Prospector begins to say that they still have other
responsibility and Domon cuts him off angrily saying that's
enough and tells Rain to get ready to go after the Devil Gundam.
Prospector tells him to listen till he finishes first.
Prospector continues that while they have other responsibility,
its not like they would abandon the two. However if Domon's with
them, he's expected to play along (i.e. deploy against other
enemies, etc) Rain thanks him but Domon says that if he finds
the Devil Gundam, he wouldn't care what the others are doing and
leave since that's his number one priority.However he wouldn't
complain about the other things in the meantime. Yurika tells
him that that's ok. Domon agree to the deal and tells Rain to
take care of Shining and leaves
Erina of course is quite annoyed that Yurika keeps taking people
left and right into the ship but Akatsuki says that it can't be
helped right now which quiets her up. Yurika says that they
don't seem like bad people, beside it's her way of doing things.
In this situation, it's best to have lots of friends to fight
alongside with. Mwu note that that's something that the military
can't really do on the spur of things.
As the Strike and the SkyGrasper returns to the Archangel, Flay
comes to meet Kira saying that she was worried about him, is
there any wounds,etc Flay invites Kira to come to the mess hall
and have a drink.Cagalli and the Dancougar team also boards the
Archangel and Sarah note that its quite a good ship. Cagalli
says that it's the latest line for the Federation beside it was
created at MorugenRete. Cagalli then saws Kira who recognized
her and punches him in the face.(I think) She shouted " YOU'RE
the Strike's pilot. Why are you on that thing" When Kira ask why
she did that, she screamed "Shut up, Do you know what you're
doing" This leaves Flay and Kira quite perplexed (So am I)
Meanwhile Yurika explains to Murrue the situation and so does
the Dancougar team later.Murrue note the worsening situation and
state it's probably impossible to head for the Federation base
in Gibralta Ryou says that that's the case since the Federation
have forsaken Africa and it belongs to ZAFT and now with the
Radam and others, the odds are against them being unable to
escape anywhere without a fight. Murrue ask for Yurika's opinion
and Yurika note that it's quite hard. Natarle suggest that they
rush ZAFT's defense line going past the Indian Ocean (not too
sure here) to the Federation base in Alaska since that the least
risky course of action.
Meanwhile Cagalli apologize to Kira for punching him and Kira
forgave her. Cagalli says that she thought about what happened
to him after the incident in Heliopolis and didn't expect him to
pilot the Strike. Kira says that a lot happened and he doesn't
believe she's with the resistance.
Yurika has an idea about what to do. She suggests that they
split up. The Nadesico will act as a lure for ZAFT forces
heading east towards Asia going pass known ZAFT base. The
Nadesico have enough firepower to do this alone. The Archangel,
meanwhile, will use this distraction to head toward the Indian
Ocean. Jun ask if it wouldn't be better to stick together with
combined forces but Yurika says that if they do that, ZAFT will
also combine their forces to attack and the Archangel would be
in danger. With her plan, they both stand a chance to rush pass
the ZAFT defense line. Murrue worries that they might not be
able to do it with only Mwu and Kira as their battle forces. Mwu
say that while he can make the impossible possible, that might
be asking for a little too much.Yurika then says that she has
another idea with a Victory sign. Masato (henceforth known as
Masato D.) says that she likes her and the Nadesico. Cagalli
meanwhile whispered to David and the others asking if they
REALLY returned from Mars with Yurika at the command. David says
that while she doesn't seem the type, she's amazingly good at
this. By going pass the Indian Ocean, they will be able to pass
the country Orb. Nadesico still have the rescued people of
Heliopolis, which is of Orb origin with them. They can transfer
those people to the Archangel. Natarle is against this because
it was Yurika's decision to rescue them, beside they won't be
making a detour to Orb since they have no obligation. Yurika
then says that in return for going to Orb, they can get the
Space Knight and the Layzner team to go with them because the
Space Knight's main base and Dr. Elizabeth's Cosmic Culture Club
is in Orb and they have to head there anyway.
Noal note that it WOULD be better that way and the Heliopolis
survivors would probably like to get out at Orb than in Asia.
Also, Noal would like Eiji to meet Freeman, the head of the
Space Knight. Natarle is against having MORE civilian in the
Archangel and the alien from Grados. David and friends stick out
for Eiji and Kira saying that they are their friends and they
both helped so much that discriminating against them now is
immoral. Mwu says that this is the way it has to be because
they are too weak to go at it by themselves. Murrue concludes
that they need the SPT and the Space Knight's help since
protecting the Archangel and the Strike comes frst. Aki ask D-
Boy to come with them and Eiji so that the Space Knight can
insure him. Natarle says that if Murrue agrees, then she'll keep
quiet but she wouldn't tolerate rash and independent action from
all of them since the Archangel is a Federation Ship and she
expects them to obey order.
D-Boy says that he doesn't care about their order, he doesn't
need friends or to be insured by others which annoys Noal but D-
Boy continues that he would like to be with those that can fight
Radam like them. Beside he'll need food to henshin so he's
willing to go along.
At the Nadesico's cafeteria, Prospector finds the Mazinger Team,
the Combattler Team and Touya. He says that the Dancougar team
and Domon have decided to remain with the Nadesico and they have
more than enough firepower. If it's possible he'd like to lend
the Archangel a little more firepower for their sake. Kouji and
Hyouma decline saying that they have to get back to their
respective laboratory as soon as possible since the professors
and more are probably worried sick about them being missing for
8 months. Prospector understands which is why he is asking Touya.
Kouji says that Touya was originally their responsibility but
Prospector is asking just in case Touya change his mind. Tenia
and the others leave the decision to Touya who agrees.
This shocks everyone. Kouji ask why he's doing this. Touya says
that he's been thinking about what he alone can do. Kouji ask if
that's why he agrees to go with the Archangel without them
watching out for him. If he comes with the Nadesico, Kouji
thought that Touya could have gotten off in Japan and work at
the Photonic Lab. Hyouma says that if he isn't interested in the
Photonic Lab, he could come to THEIR lab. Touya thanks everyone
but he's made his decision. Kouji note that Touya finally have
that burning spirit to protect others, he tells Touya to be
careful and that they'll meet again. Touya promise and
Prospector says that he'll arrange with Murrue.
In the Hall, the three girls confronted Touya wanting to know
the meaning behind his words. Touya says that he has been
thinking a lot about just giving it all up. He's been fighting
to live ever since they set out for Mars and come back not
wanting to die. He realize that that's a lost cause after
returning to Earth and seeing the state it is in. He look at
everyone and ask himself that if he didn't have anything to
protect, does that mean that his reason for fighting is gone.
Touya says that while he wanted to go back to his old life but
he doesn't have any reason for going back to it or anything to
look forward to in that life. He didn't REALLY want to go back
to that life. All this means that all he's done since he got
Granteed is to run away from the responsibility thrusted upon
him.
Touya says that he saw the death of Fucube and Gai while
fighting the Grados, the Jupiter Lizard, and the Radam on Mars
and in space. He saw what ZAFT did to Heliopolis, he saw Akito
and Kira rising to the occasion and he knows that with the way
the Earth is right now, he can't say that this is all right and
leave. He wants to know what he can do, what he can REALLY do to
change this. If he has that power, like Kouji and Hyouma, he has
to fight. Tenia then ask if this means what she think and Touya
says that this time he's fully commited, to them and Granteed
and to wherever their destiny lies.
While the other two are happy, Kateia ask if this is what he
wants to which Touya ask whether this isn't what the three girls
want. Kateia says that they've faced off against "them" and they
will need even more commitment from all four of them to see
things through. Touya note that he saw in that brief flash in
the battle today that they are destined to fight against this
mysterious enemy. Touya says that he have to get stronger, to
fight "them" , the Grados, the Radam and all others along with
the three girls.
Meanwhile Andrew Bartfield, spying on the two ship is talking
with his subordinate about the two enemy ship with
Dacosta.Dacosta says that they haven't made a move yet and are
not aware of them Andrew then notice that the coffee blend have
changed from one sip and says that good coffee leads to good
feeling. Andrew decides to return to base noting that this has
to be the two ship that Crueset let escape and that they can't
let the two ship escape. First off is to attack to determine
their strength.
Back at their base, Al Van checked out his mech and found out
that there is nothing wrong with the Las Erem on his machine. He
noted that it didn't work against the team and wonders if the
thing that "that Lord" did with the Granteed was for this.
Episode 11
Dacosta reports to Andrew that the Nadesico and the Archangel
have split up with the Nadesico going past a Tulip and
destroying it gaining the attention of other ZAFT base. Andrew
then asks for the Archangel's movement and realizes that the
Nadesico is acting as a decoy to lure the enemy away from the
Archangel. He tells Dacosta to get ready for deployment.
Murrue, Natarle and Mwu are noting that it's been pretty good
sailing so far with no attack from ZAFT but Mwu wonders why
Cagalli is coming with them instead of going with the Dancougar
team and the Nadesico. Murrue says that Cagalli said she'd make
herself useful and might come in handy, beside they're not in a
position to refuse her and the others. Mwu decides to go and
look in on the others
Tenia, meanwhile, is complaining that they should have gone with
the Nadesico since the meals here are so measly and bland, it's
Touya's fault but Touya says that the thee girls left it to him
to decide. Tenia sob that she didn't know it'd be like this.
Kateia tells Tenia to shape up since she's been saying the same
things for a while now. Milly ask if the Nadeisoc is really
different from this and Tenia says that instead of having to
share a room with the other two girls, she had her own room,
there were lots of delicious food on the menu, the shower and
the onsen is big. Everything was better there. Sai says that it
can't be help since the Archangel is a Federation ship and Roan
adds that it isn't supposed to accommodate civilians like them.
David says that its just a little more hardship until it's over
and Arthur says that he can't wait to get home which get Sai and
the other people a bit upset. Simone berated Arthur for
reminding Sai and the others that their home in Heliopolis was
destroyed. Flay herself decides to go somewhere else (probably
to seduce someone)
At the bridge room, Touya and the new arrival from theNadesico
has been summoned by Mwu. Mwu says that since they are going to
be fighting together for a while, he'd like to know more about
their story. After listening to Touya's story, he notes that
that was quite an adventure. Kira is shocked to learn that every
settler on Mars except them was killed. Mwu ask Eiji if
everything is really going to be ok with him even though his dad
is an Earthling, he's still a Grados and there's the matter of
him having to fight this Gale senpai of his. Eiji says that
Earth is the place that he grew to admire from his dad's story;
it's a place that he consider a home for his heart. Eiji wants
to protect this planet and cease the war between his two places
of heritage.
Mwu note that it would be SO much easier if everyone on Earth is
like Eiji, he feels so embarassed at what Earthling like them
are up to. Mwu ask Noal about D-Boy but Noal says that they
don't understand a thing about him and how he becomes Tekkaman.
In fact he believes Eiji is an alien more than he believe that
D-Boy is an Earthling. Aki reprimand Noal for saying that but
Noal says that he still doesn't trust D-Boy and will shoot him
if he acts suspicious. Mwu note that D-Boy is their ally for
fighting Radam for now and then turn his attention to Touya. Mwu
wants to know about the mysterious enemy they encountered
recently.
Touya says that he don't know much but that Kateia and the other
two escaped from them and he then tells what he knows. Mwu note
that while he knows more about Granteeed, it still tells nothing
about the mysterious enemy.
