Episode # 7: Scenario for Bloodshed
Short Summary: Treize and Lady Une mastermind the destruction of the Alliance pacifists and plan to take over all major Alliance bases. Heero destroys Field Marshall Noventa and other leaders in shuttle. All five gundams converge at St. Edward's...
[Scene: New Edward's Base/Airfield. A shuttle is landing. ]
Soldier: This is the New Edward's Base reporting the shuttle has arrived. Including ground vehicles we now have considerable numbers.
[Scene: Treize's Office: Oz HQ?]
Treize(on phone with soldier): I see Thank you. (hands up)
Colonel Une: I have increased the frequency of our notice that all top officers will be gathering at the New Edward's Base.
Treize: Well at least the part about you and I being there is going to be true.
Colonel Une: Are you counting yourself in as a decoy? [hands him a clipboard.] Positioning is 100% complete. We shouldn't need to increase it any further.
Treize: So Zechs is in Nairobi. Don't you think we should use him for something more significant?
Colonel Une: We do not has as many Oz soldiers stationed in Nairobi. We're expecting a fierce battle there.
Treize: I see. [looks at tapestry with a lion(Oz symbol)] Now people will cast off their off doubts and devote themselves to a changing history.
[Scene: Wing cockpit - new mission has arrived on Heero's console. ]
Heero: Mission accepted. New Edward's.... Oz leaders will assemble there.
[Scene: Circus.] [Ringmaster runs into trailer. ]
Ringmaster: I can't believe it, Trowa's gone again.
Catherine: Yes, but he did say he'd be coming back though...
Ringmaster: That lousy punk keeps wandering off on his own. Normally I wouldn't even hesitate to fire somebody like that guy.
Catherine: But he's too good to get rid of isn't he?
Ring Master: Blast him! I'll make him earn his pay when he gets back.
Catherine: Trowa how come you keep disappearing on us like this?
[Scene: Desert.]
[Two members of the Magunac corps is having tea/coffee?]
Man1: I can't believe Quatre suddenly took off to a resort on his own. He's still a kid after all...
Man2: He must have gotten tired of hanging around old farts like ourselves huh?
[They laugh.]
Rasheed: You fools! Don't you see Master Quatre has left us behind so he could head out alone on some type of mission?
Man1: What? Are you serious captain?
Rasheed: He was concerned about our safety so he left us behind.
Man2: But it's far more dangerous for him if we're no there to protect him.
Rasheed: I couldn't refuse his kind consideration for our safety, but Master Quatre I only wish you had come to me for some advice...
[Scene: Military port. Night.]
Quatre:(on phone) Is this the San Francisco Starling hotel? I'd like to reserve a room please... I'm on my own that's not a problem right? [Turns and sees Trowa driving a truck with his mobile suit]
Quatre: looks like Trowa..
[Approaches him after he hangs up the phone.]
Quatre: Hi, so we meet again. Funny we ended up at the same destination.
Trowa: I'm doing this alone.
Quatre: So am I, but... what if we helped each other?
Trowa: Don't think so.
Quatre: Two's always better than one...
[Scene: military base. A building explodes. ]
Soldier: enemy attack!
Mechanic: Enemy attack?
[Heero leaps down and knocks them out from behind. He steals a carrier and begins switching buttons when a red light flashes. ]
Heero: free compartment(?)
[Show a flash of the Deathscythe. Heero opens a door, gun in hand, ]
Duo: Hey, you come and load yours in pal, I'll come and take over the cockpit.
Heero: Duo...
Duo: This tie I'm defiantly not going to let the mission fail. How about trusting me a bit?
Heero: Do what you want.
Duo: What do you know... looks like he remembered my name after all.
[Carrier takes off.]
Duo: Oh, man this is gonna be quite the battle...
Heero: This mission's really big. I don't think you get it.
Duo: You bet I do, this is our chance to finally destroy the oz organization.
Heero: This time is different we're going to eliminate every oz leader.
Duo: Then I go back to space...
[shuttle lands. ]
Narrator: That day at the St. Edward's base, leaders of the United earth's sphere alliance gathered for a conference. including the likes of Field Marshal Noventa, as Chief Commandeer, General Septum, leader of the Alliance Space Force and General Vente, leader of the Alliance Terrestrial Forces. However Treize arranges to secretly disseminate false information worldwide that this meeting is in fact a general meeting of top Oz officials rather than Alliance leaders.
Treize: Let's see what course the future will take.
Colonel Une: It'll take whatever direction you decide on.
Treize: It's up to the alliance whether or not my plans will perform. that'll decide the future.
[later that evening. carriers are flying.]
Soldier: Lt. Zechs, there's an inquiry from the Nairobi base regarding our formation.
Zechs: Say we're practicing maneuvers and that we're conducting a simulation air battle above the Mombassa(?) area.
Zechs: (to Noin) Listen, this battle might leave you feeling disturbed later on Noin.
Noin: I do trust you Zechs and if I know this is an important attack, then I will fight.
Zechs: thinking: The Alliance and Oz, it's not as if the world will change if one replaces the other so why should we even fight?
[Scene: Conference at St. Edward's]
Field Marshall Noventa: The initial purpose of the alliance was to deter the military powers of nations around the world, but now we've become such a military power ourselves. I'll say this, expansion of armaments and development wastes money and labor. I don't believe the alliance should be heading in such a direction.
General Septum: You're saying... reduce the forces?
Field Marshall Noventa: That would only be the start. Our ultimate goal is for unilateral demilitarization. [chattering]
Vent: I'll agree to that.
General Septum: General Vente!
Vente: We've all shared blood at one point or another we had no other choices to make an ideal alliance a reality. However for some reason our objectives have ended up changing. The time has come for us to end this period of bloodshed.
General Septum: If only we could stop the bloodshed, but how would you deal with the recent incidents? We've been under attack by mobile suits from gundanium alloy made in outer space. These indestructible suits have the earth in a virtual crisis. What do the specials think? You fought with them.
Treize: We think they were made by the colonies for purely destructive purposes. [chattering.]
Colonel Une: what now Treize?
Treize: All we need now is an actor from the alliance, yes.
Colonel Une: An actor? Treize: Someone to faithfully demonstrate the feelings of the alliance.
Field Marshall Noventa: It's natural for the colonies to feel uneasiness towards us. to nullify this uneasiness we must open up dialogue with the colonies immediately.
Vente: I agree there. let us begin a new chapter in history through our discussions.
Field Marshall Noventa: It's not just between the colonies. We must focus almost all our attention on more talks between the nations of the world. [applause.]
General Septum: What about the problem with those mobile suits?
Field Marshall Noventa: Once they understand our desire for peace the colonies will have no cause for creating such destruction. let's talk. I'm sure we'll be able to find our way once again. [more applause.]
Treize: I thought so, the future's about to head in the wrong direction.
Une: Shall we?
Treize: No, let's wait until the final actors arrive.
Field Marshall Noventa: Next I'd like to focus on the details of our peace negotiation... we'll start [rumbling - then an alarm. ] what's going on?
Soldier appears on screen: Marshall we're under attack. This base is under attack. [shows wing in flight mode.]
Field Marshall Noventa: That's them... [Heero transforms and begins fighting. Deathscythe appears.]
Duo: Whoa this defense line isn't like the others...
Heero: Ten times more of them, that's much more than we estimated.
Duo: Well there's no turning back now... [fighting.]
Heero: We're taking to long tying to get through.
Duo: Okay guys this is it...
[Scene: inside conference: chattering.]
Treize: Lady Une the actors are all here... perhaps it's time we raised the curtain.
Une: right. [presses button]
[Scene: Zechs' air division in Nairobi.]
Soldier: Lt. Zechs we've received orders to commence operation daybreak.
Zechs: All units descend now. [mobile suits drop and attack base. ]
[Scene: St. Edward's.]
Field Marshall Noventa: Talk to those pilots! Tell them we desire nothing but peace with the colonies.
Soldier: Impossible Marshall. The enemy is on an all out attack. We could receive considerable damage talking.
[chattering.]
Treize: Marshall our priory should be to evacuate.
Field Marshall Noventa: Evacuate?
Treize: We can't risk you getting slaughtered while insisting to solve the problems with the colonies thorough peace negotiations.
Field Marshall Noventa: I'll ignore your sarcasm but you're right. There's no point in being destroyed. Not if we're to promote peace negotiations.
Treize: Then allow me to offer you our high speed shuttle. It's ready for immediate take off.
Field Marshall Noventa: I never would have expected such assistance from you.
Treize: Marshall, I too am a member of the alliance...
Field Marshall Noventa: Yes, you're right. I'll go.
Soldiers: This way please. The shuttle is standing by at gate B12.
[They shuffle out.]
Treize: General Septum. This way please.
General Septum: I don't understand... I thought the shuttle was that way.
Treize: I thought it safer for the delegation to split up. my personal shuttle is on standby at gate F7. There isn't room for too many but it's the Specials latest model.
General Septum: In that case I'll accompany you in the other group.
Treize: This way.
[Scene: Command Center.]
Colonel: Ger as many mobile suits out as you can there are only 2 enemies.
Soldier: Colonel! urgent message from our Fairbanks base. It's a revolt! The soldiers, they are revolting against the base.!
Soldier2: Colonel sir, revolts are occurring worldwide one after the other...
Colonel: What's going on? [screen pops up and revolts are shown.]
[Scene: base - fighting.]
Soldier: Sergeant it's no use, let's surrender!
Sergeant: Don't be ridiculous! Are you one of the traitors as well?
Soldier: Sergeant...
Sergeant: What can those specials do anyway?
Noin in Aries: This base is now under our control. Surrender at once!
Sergeant: I'm not taking orders from rebels.
Noin: Just see for yourself, it's a revolution.
Soldier: Surrender! [more suits are destroyed.]
Soldier 3: Don't over do it Lt. Noin.
Noin: Creating something new is wonderful. but still... isn't this a bit extreme for the laying of a foundation. [building surrounded by suits. ]
Zechs on loudspeaker/radio: Your resistance is futile. we need as many comrades as possible. The era of the alliance has ended. Our oz organization must give birth to a true alliance on it's own. Let us create a new system together. [the six soldiers behind him saluted. ]
Zechs: Not bad if I do say so myself.
Narrator: This caudate had been carefully planned. Oz soldiers had hidden their identities behind the specials facade and were posted at each alliance military base.
[show scenes of various takeovers. ]
[Scene: Command Station]
Narrator: Since the undermining began from within the overpopulated organization of the alliance, the damage to it's governing body was significant.
Soldier: Rebellious troops have taken over bases worldwide. Asia, Europe, even Africa.
Colonel: So where is Marshall Noventa?
Soldier: I don't know, I can't find any of them.
Colonel: What in the world is going on here?
[Scene: battle at St. Edward's. ]
[more battle with Duo and Heero. ]
Duo: They just keep coming...
[missiles fired from heavyarms. ]
Duo: Those are missiles aimed at us allies. [he moves deathsycthes.]
Trowa: Cause your all bunched up.
[Trowa begins advancing]
Quatre: No time to sit and chit chat I've got lots of work to do.
[Quatre begins fighting.]
Heero: Are they Oz' newest models? [looking at heavyarms and sandrock]
Duo: Yeah but they're attacking the alliance.
Quatre: Trowa, those mobile suits are just like ours. Could they also be...
Trowa: Whatever they are they're right in my way.
Duo: Those suits are identical.
[Scene: Treize's shuttle.]
General Septum: What's wrong? Why haven't we left yet?
Treize: We're waiting for Marshall Noventa's shuttle to leave. We'll leave right after them.
[shuttle launches in background.]
[screen beeps as they pick up shuttle on radar. ]
Heero: That's the one. [he transforms and takes off. ]
Field Marshall Noventa: It's an unfortunate coincidence but I won't let it disrupt our peace proposal. [they see wing outside window. ]
Field Marshall Noventa: What on earth?! Wing transforms again into fighting mode.]
Field Marshall Noventa: Now young man, don't be foolish...
[wing slices through the shuttle. ]
Heero: Mission accomplished.
[scene: Treize's shuttle:]
General Septum: The alliance leader shuttle! what have they done? Marshall Noventa!
[Treize's shuttle launches. ]
Duo: Thanks for those missiles earlier buddy, now I'll return the favor.
[He charges heavyarms.] [heavyarms fires.]
Quatre: Cut it out you guys!
[a column of fire separates them. ]
Wufei: Haven't you guys gotten tired of these meaningless battles yet?
Heero: What do you mean?
Wufei comes out: Don't you guys realize you've all been lured into Oz's devious little trap.
Quatre: We what?
Wufei: Check out the alliances report. you guys just wiped out the alliances pacifists.
Heero: impossible! [turns on screen.]
General Septum: This is the colonies declaration of war against us. We were just discussing plans for peace talks with the colonies today. Marshall Noventa was at the center of these plans and he's been assassinated.
[Scene: Relena's house. She's arranging flowers listening to the report. ]
General Septum: He was destroyed by the colonies invading mobile suits. I repeat this was a brutal invasion by the colonies.
[Show Heero destroying shuttle]
Relena: Heero? [knocks vase off balcony.]
General Septum: We will not yield to the colonies. We must fight until the bitter end.
Colonel Une: Very nicely done General Septum. We won't be needing you any further.
General Septum: What? [She opens a cargo hatch- he and his chair fall out. ]
Colonel Une: A magnificent performance. It truly is a pity you had to leave the stage so early.
[She pulls a gun and fires once and Septum's lifelessly body continues to fall.]
Colonel Une: Qell we can't have any bloodstains in Treize's wake, now can we?
[Another part of the shuttle, Treize's is leaning back, eyes closed. ]
Treize: The second act has just begun. We'll be busy. [Shuttle flies off into a setting sky. ]
[Scene: St. Edward's. ]
Wufei: This was all completely planned out by Oz. We became their puppets, controlled by Treize Kushrenada.
Quatre: No...How awful...
Duo: Blast it!
Wufei: but I'm going to fight you oz. even if I've got to do it on my own.
Heero: what have I... what have I done?
