Transcript:
[Scene: Outter Space. ]
Soldier: What is that?
Soldier2: I'll check it out...
Soldier 1: Be careful..
Solider 2: Roger.
[Leo moves toward object. ]
Soldier 2: It's the spacecraft from the accidnet. The pieces have scattered all over, it must have exploded.
[The view panels inside the leo go blank with static. ]
Solider 2: Hmmm?
Solider 1: What's the matter, did you find something?
Solider 2: ECM's & they're powerful.
Solider 1: What?
[Deathsycthe appears out of the darkness. ]
Solider 2: Ahhh! A gundam!
[Leo is hit with the beam sycthe of the gundam 02. The leo is obliterated, the others prepare to attack. The deathsycthe battles with the leos. ]
Duo: The Great Destroyer (God of Death) is back again!
Solider 1: Blast it all! 02 is here!
Solider 3: I can't contact fortress barge!
[Destroys enemies completed and glances at view screen. ]
Duo: So about 80%, but the remaining modifications shouldn't be too difficult. Time I made my getaway...
[Deathsycthe leaves towing all the suits he destroys with him. ]
Narrator: Operation Nova built with the plentiful resources on the moon; the Virgo mobile dolls were directed at Earth to suppress rebel forces. The plan appeared to be progressing smoothy but recently frequent disturbances have put hindrances on the Virgo production line.
[Scene: Lunar Base. ]
Tubarov: They've disappeared?! But what about the escort troops?
Solider 1: They have vanished, along with the carrier fleet. Last located at D244-
Tubarov: Idiot! They couldn't have had an accident. They've been destroyed! Probably by a gundam.
Solider 1: Lt. Trant has assembled a unit and is headed to the location sir.
[Takes clipboard from soliders hand and reads over it.]
Tubarov: 10 Taurses, 50 space mines, 1 support carrier... what's this? Trant is the only solider?! Contact Trant!!
Soldier 1: But Sir... he's out on a search, we shouldn't contact him.
Tubarov: I don't care! Get him on the line!
Solider 1: Sir!
[Scene: Trant with Wing Zero. ]
Trant: Trant Clark logging in, following the examination of the new gundam's cockpit system, I must conclude it's unlike anything I've ever encoutered. (thinking: This cockpit exposes the vulnerablities of all soldiers in outer space.
[Simulation: Wing is blasting space mines. ]
Trant: (thinking continued: The cockpit is equipped with a sytem that can increase the combative abilitiesof the pilot. ) It can fully match the reaction time of the mobile dolls. But as soon as the brain wave levels are increased during combat, a problem arises.
[Fighting mobile dolls, Taurus model, ]
Trant: Ahhh... here is comes. My arms... I can't move .... ahhh ... terminate combat simulation.... Why did I start to hallucinate?
[Image of Heero appears attached to a mobile suit combat simulation. ]
Trant: (thinking: did they get out of control because they were hallucinating too? If I could get data on actual battles, instead of simulations I'd be able to figure out something. *beep*beep* The two gundam pilots that escaped from the lunar base are still in outer space.
[the phone on the wall beeps twice. ]
Solider's voice: Lt. Trant, this is the Lunar Base, come in. Orders from Col. Tubarov.
[Trant pushes a button, turning the machine off. ]
Trant: Either pilot will do, I'll find one of them and get my data. Once I've done that, I'm sure I'll be able to pursuade Col. Tubarov.
[Scene: Lunar Base. ]
Tubarov: Can't you find him yet?! Where is Trant?
Soldier: Uhhh.... well Sir...
Tubarov: I see... get in touch with Fortress Barge and we'll immediately dispatch some troops to locate Trant. His actions are in definte violation of military procedures. I hope I'm overreating.
[Scene: Space Colony. A big truck pulls into a junkyard, Duo gets out. ]
Man: You're the guy who needed vernia fuel for mobile suits aren't you?
Duo: Yeah. Sorry to bother ya, here's your payment. Genuine Oz products.
[Man comes forward with clipboard. ]
Man: The stuffs in the trailer out front, so just help yourself. Here, sign this form.
[He hands Duo the clipboard and gets in the truck. ]
Duo: Hey! Wait a sec! Don't you wanna see what's inside?
Man: We'll never make ends meet if those guys completey take over. Until then I'm counting on you to do what you can kiddo. I'm trust in you lad. just let me know if you need bullets. Contact me anytime!
[Drives away in truck. ]
Duo: The old guy drove off without even taking my payment.
Hilde: Duo!
Duo: Hmm?
[He turns toward the shout. ]
Hilde: Is there anything I can help with?
Duo: Nope, it's all under control, wait for me at the trailer out front. I'll be right there...
Hilde: Sure thing... later.
[Duo watches her run back down the street before taking off in the other direction. ]
[Scene: Space, Trant with Wing Zero. ]
Trant: I'll go to the area where a number of carriers have disappeared. I'll give it a through search.
[commercial.]
[Scene: Colony. Duo is searching through a pile of parts in a junkyard. ]
Hilde: Duo! [Hilde runs up to him again. ]
Duo: Hmmm? Any success?
Hilde: Nothing, I couldn't get any information on the new transfer plan.
Duo: Oz isn't that ignorant... They're just being more cautious than before. I want to destroy barge now, but I'll have to put it off a while.
Hilde: Are you going to keep fighting alone Duo?
Duo: What choice do I have? I got no idea where the others are... So I'll just have to go it alone...
Hilde: Let me know if there's any way I can be of help Duo. I'll do anything...
Duo: Ummm, okay. I wouldn't mind having a juicy steak for dinner.
Hilde: [crosses her arms angrily.] Huh? Come off it Duo, I'm totally serious.
Duo: I know, I know, you're doing more than enough already.
[Hilde looks up.]
Hilde: What is that?
Duo: Wait a sec... it's a gundam... [It lands in junkyard. ]
Trant: Freeze.
[Pilot hatch opens, Trant steps outside. ]
Trant: Duo Maxwell I demand that you come with me... do it or you're dead.
[Hilde gasps.]
Duo: Hey, do you what you gotta do, but remember the power of that beam cannon. You could completely demolish this colony.
Trant: I don't care. I have no interest in what happens to this place kid. I've got no intentions of remeaning an insignificant technical officer, once I figure out this gundam's system; Col. Tubarov's mobile dolls will be a useless tool of the past. What the new Oz needs is a completely new sytem. I'll do whatever's required to make that happen. Now come here gundam pilot. You're the one I want.
[Scene: Outer Space. Duo is in the Zero's cockpit. ]
Duo: What's with all this junk you've attached. All right, what do you want me to do?
Trant: I want you to fight the mobile dolls with the wing zero here, with real firearms of coruse.
Duo: That's fine with me, but I just might escape during your tests.
Trant: No you won't. I've set it so that the wing zero's functions can be stopped from outside. And besides, I've programmed the mobile dolls to switch their target to that colony in case you decide to try something funny... Right, commence!
[Mobile dolls attack. ]
Trant: That's good, that's the way to fight, show me exactly what you see before you...
[Duo suddenly sees the deathscythe in front of him. ]
Duo: What? No way!
Trant: So you saw it? You must tell me what is the wing zero trying to show the pilot?
Duo: How should I know what it means? I see... that's my enemy.
[Duo suddenly sees lots of deathscythes and closes his eyes and screams. Duo sees himself firing his beam weapon at the colony and watching Hilde get hit by the blast. ]
Duo: No... no way. It couldn't be... [Colony explodes.] But... there's no way. How could a person do this?
[His vision clears and he sees the colony's intact, and that he's destroyed all the mobile dolls. ]
Trant: It's possible. Believe me it is... We can do anything with this new system. It's capable of alterig human concsiousness, anything is possible with this.
Solider: Lt. Trant! Hand over the wing zero and surrender... orders from Col. Tubarov. I repeat, hand over the wing zero and surrender.
Trant: Hmmm, they're here. I'll do it. [He hurls Duo out of the cockpit.] I'm gonna go for it. ]
Duo: You better leave it alone... just forget that system.
[Trant charges at Oz Leos. A mobile suit transport apparoches from behind. It's Hilde with Deathscythe.]
Hilde: Duo!
Solider; It's the wing zero, it's headed straight for us. Col. Tubarov, should be capture him?
Tubarov: Destroy him! He's a dead man.
Trant: Just a little more... I can't see everything yet. Come on!
[Scene: Inside transport, Duo has boarded Deathsycthe.]
Hilde: Don't do it, you can't fight in the state you're in.
Duo: Don't worry Hilde. Remember, I'm a gundam pilot...
[Deathsycthe exits transport. ]
Duo: That system is more than a human can handle. I gotta stop him!
[Duo launches at Zero.]
Trant: It's expanding! My concsiousness is expanding... I can almost see everything. [manical laughter.] I want more, I haven't had enough...
[Zero & Deathsycthe engage. ]
Duo: Man, it's inredibly fast.
Trant: I can see... I can clearly see your moves. I can see you during your death...
Duo: In your dreams! [Zero grips Deathsycthe's head.] He's even more powerful than me...
Clark You fool! Haven't you realized yet that you don't stand a chance against me? You will be gone and the glory will be all mine!
Duo: Are you sure about that?
Trant: What?
Duo: It's just might be a tie...
[Duo presses a button and something explodes. ]
[Trant screams.]
Trant: Get away from me! I won't be defeated and certainly not by a young punk like you...
Duo: If you were to loose it wouldn't be to me. You'd be loosing to the wing zero.
[Clark fires beam rile at Duo.]
Clark: There's no way I can be deafeated!
Duo: You still don't get it do you!
[Duo launches that beam weapon on his arm and there's a big explosion. ]
Clark: I won't loose... I can't possibly loose. I can handle a system like this, no prob.
[The glass in his helmet shatters. ]
Duo: It's just too much for a human to handle. If anyone is capable of it, they'd be superior to the entire.. human.. race.
