Tom: Well, apart from dark thoughts of universal destruction coupled with a nearly over-powering urge to throw myself out the nearest hatch which, since I have vast pockets of air trapped in this metallic body of mine means I would pop like a pimple in the vacuum of space, I'd say I was holding up better than expected.
Mike: (not really listening as he pats Tom on the back) That's great, Tom. Crow, I know you're into anime an' all, but how are you... Crow? Tom, where's Crow?
Tom: Oh, he said something about sponging a sandwich off of Gypsy.
(There is an unholy, terrified scream from off-screen)
Tom: I'd say she's serving up the peanut butter/ham/pickle and anchovy loaf ones again.
(Still screaming, Crow races in from stage right. He ducks behind Mike)
Mike: Crow? What's the matter, little buddy?
Crow: It's Gypsy! Something horrible -- and yet weirdly enticing in a smutty and virginal sort of way -- has happened to her! You've got to stop her before she destroys the entire ship!
(On his words, Gypsy bursts in from stage right)
Crow: AAAAAHHHHHH! (He ducks back behind Mike, but peeks out)
(Gypsy is wearing a broad gold ribbon strapped around the upper part of her tubing. She has on dangling sparkling earrings, broad red lips, and the longest lashes in her arsenal)
Tom and Mike: Gypsy?!
Gypsy: (gyrating madly about as she sings)
Mike: Gypsy, wha--? (Suddenly he is nose-to-nose with her)
Gypsy: (singing)
Crow: No duh, Sherlock.
(Mike is forced to make more elaborate dodges around the ship's small cabin as Gypsy continues to writhe and spout random lyrics)
Gypsy: (singing)
(Mike frantically continues to dodge as Gypsy hits the chorus again)
Mike: What do I do?!
Tom: Mike, clearly you have to answer her using an opposing but equally clueless male pop force!
Crow: (from behind Mike) Willy Nelson?
Tom: Crow, you are so out of it!
Mike: Rickey Nelson, then?
Tom: Somehow I think this is bigger than La Vita Loca. No, to combat Gypsy you'll need the combined brainlessness of many males!
Crow: (from behind Mike) The Moral Majority?
Tom: We don't want cationic, Crow! Besides, they haven't released any hits in years. Mike, you have to use N Synch!
Mike: (shifty eyed) I don't know any N Synch.
Tom: Mike, this is no time to equivocate! You have every CD and mini-CD ever released by N Synch, PLUS you have half-a-dozen import DVDs of their videos! You have seventeen five-changer CD cartridges devoted just to them!
(Mike appears ready to die of embarrassment. Fatefully, Crow realizes something...)
Crow: Hey, you were the one that went through my under-roos drawer! Admit it!
(On one of her twirls, Gypsy opens her mouth and spits a pair of under-roos at the trio. The under-roos hit Crow in the face. They dangle over his mouthparts)
Crow: ... Mama.
(He faints out of sight)
Tom: Look, Nelson, this is getting serious! She's taken out Crow. That means we're next!
Mike: Okay, okay, I'm doing it. (Taking a deep breath, he strikes a dramatic and painful-looking pose. Gypsy stops gyrating to stare at him.)
Mike: (grimly singing one of the sappy love-songs)
Mike: Well, I'm not interested
Tom: (screaming) DO IT!
Mike: (sighing, then monotone)
(Gypsy stops moving and watches Mike. She then speaks in her normal tones)
Gypsy: It might seem like a crush, but it doesn't mean that I'm serious. (She regards Mike as he continues to prance) Sad, really.
Mike: (is repeating "baby, bye, bye, bye" over and over again as he dances around, until he realizes that both Gypsy and Tom are staring at him like he's totally lost his mind. He slowly winds down.) Bye -- bye -- um, bye?
Gypsy: Goodbye, Mike
(Mike is abashed)
Crow: (popping up unexpectedly) Take it.
Gypsy: Take it?
Crow: Take another little piece of my heart, now, baby.
Gypsy: Um, okay.
Tom: Whoops, this will have to wait, we have movie sign!
(Everyone runs around like idiots)
Gypsy: Bye, bye. Bye.
(5...4...3...2...1)
(As Mike and the 'Bots find their seats, camera pans down, showing the vastness of space. "AC196 Xmas Eve" appears on the screen)
Announcer: After Colony year 196. Colony L-3 X18999 has declared independence. The name of their leader is Mariemeia Khushrenada, the daughter of Treize. At the same time she captured Relena, she also declared war on the United Earth Nation. Under the surface of all this, the Gundam pilots fight fiercely among each other.
(Recap of the fight between Duo and Trowa)
Duo: He's pretty good!
(Duo ducks into another corridor and watches)
Duo: His ... his style of fighting ... it's like ...
(Scan up the torso of the opposing pilot. It's Trowa.)
Duo: You're Trowa! Damn you!
(Recap of the fight between Wufei and Heero)
Wufei: I've always wanted to fight you.
(Heero makes a "Tsk" noise)
(Meanwhile, Quatre and his group are still trying to head off the scrap satellite)
Quatre: At this rate, it'll take 5 days until we reach the rendezvous with the scrap satellite.
Quatre: (He taps on the ship's computer) But if we take this route, we could cut 80 hours off our trip.
Rashid: That's great! Let's take that route!
Abdul: But to do that we need fuel to accelerate and once we're there, fuel to decelerate. We'll use up most of the ship's propellant.
Maganac soldier: Does that mean we can't get home?
Quatre: No, there is a way. If we explode the fusion furnace in the satellite and use that as propulsion, we can get back to Earth fairly quickly. (He taps on the computer again) We can take this ship back to Venus, using its gravity catapult to take her back.
Abdul: The problem is the timing at the rendezvous. Estimates show the point of contact is only about 5 seconds.
Rashid: How many of us can get through in 5 seconds?
Quatre: Risk is unavoidable. We didn't get the routine email from Duo. That means the situation is very severe.
Rashid: Then the decision is made. The ones going will be me, Abdul and--
Quatre: No. I'll be the only one.
Rashid: Master Quatre!
Abdul: No way! Take us, please!
Quatre: Rashid, take charge of the jet blast.
Maganac soldier: All of us are prepared to give up our lives for you, anytime!
(Sighing, Quatre shakes his head)
Quatre: There's nothing more important than life in this world. Sandrock has taught me that.
(Close up of the burners on the ship igniting. Quatre's ship continues on its way)
(Suddenly, Quatre is wearing a different space suit)
Quatre: Self-destruct switch?
(He is addressing an older man with a thin, long waxed moustache. This is Instructor H, one of the Gundam scientists.)
H: Yes, I've attached one to Sandrock.
Quatre: To maintain secrecy?
H: That's not why.
H: It is for the resolution that the one with power must maintain.
Quatre: I don't quite understand.
H: I didn't think so. But that's all right for now.
(A console beeps at Instructor H. He turns to read an incoming message)
Quatre: Is it orders from the organization?
H: Yes. But this is --
(He smashes the screen)
H: Quatre, fight on your own.
(Close up of H's smiling face, which is pretty danged terrifying)
H: If you feel the need to use the switch, then do so.
Quatre: (nodding) Yes.
(Quatre floats down a long gangplank, heading for Sandrock. H watches from above)
H: We cannot take away his purity and kindness. It may mean that Quatre faces an even harsher fate than Operation Meteor.
(Abruptly, the title screen comes up)
(A second title screen proclaiming "Operation Meteor" pops up)
(Another recap of the Wufei/Heero fight. Wufei's Gundam lunges, holding its shield out in front. It barrels toward Heero. Heero blocks the strike with his energy saber)
Heero: What are you up to, Wufei?
Wufei: Are you in the right?
Heero: What?
(The two break apart and hack at each other again)
Wufei: I'm asking, are you in the right!?
Heero: (makes another "tsk" noise)
(More hacking. Heero starts to back off.)
Heero: Wufei, push the self destruct switch.
(Instead, Wufei charges, lopping off one of the arms from Heero's mobile suit. A second swing sends up sparks from the chest of Heero's mobile suit. Heero, however, continues to back away. The door of Heero's mobile suit is ejected. Heero stands in the opening and speaks to Wufei coldly)
Heero: I'll say it once more. Push the self destruct switch.
Wufei: (snorts)
|
|
(Back to Trowa and Duo's fight. Trowa is continuing to blast away with his freakin' big gun, driving Duo's suit to its back)
Duo: Trowa, why did you betray us?
Trowa: You've got the wrong guy. I'm not Trowa.
(The shoulders of Trowa's suit open, revealing gobs of rockets aimed at the prone Duo.)
Duo: (screaming) Are you serious?!
(Close-up of Trowa's calm green eye as a computer schematic is overlaid. He fires)
Duo: (smirking insanely) So this is the end...
(The rockets head for him...and head for him...and head for him...)
(Right when the rockets reach Duo, the screen goes to black.)
(The camera pans right. The darkness yields an outline of a prone mobile suit, but not the one that Duo was in. There is a close-up of Deathscythe, the suit Duo piloted during the war.)
|
|
Duo: This is the end.
(Duo pushes the button. The camera hovers over Deathscythe...but nothing happens.)
Duo: What's wrong? Why won't it blow up?! (He stares at Deathscythe.) Where did I mess up?
(Voice offscreen) Duo
(At the feet of a shadowy figure, several lynchpins are dropped. The outline of Professor G, including his puffy cap-like hair, is seen)
Prof. G: Deathscythe in an excellent work of art. Come up with an idea other than destroying it.
Duo: (snort) I'm not going to have my pal turned into a tool for mass murder.
(Professor G marches up to Duo and sticks a hand inside Duo's shirt)
(Professor G pulls out a revolver and taps the barrel against his forehead)
Prof. G: So, after destroying Deathscythe, you were going to kill me.
Duo: (grinning) Everyone. Including me.
Duo: I'll gladly become Death, if it's for the peace of the colony.
Prof. G: (giving the gun back to Duo) If you're so determined, try to outwit me! Duo, steal Deathscythe.
Duo: What?!
|
|
Prof. G: (walking down a long corridor in the darkness until he disappears) There's a man named Howard in the Pacific. Go see him. Of course, as Death.
Duo: Death, huh? Much better than a hero of mass murder. (He twirls the gun around one finger)
(Suddenly, there are a bunch of marching mechs followed by a close-up of a young man with brown hair that covers most of his face, and a scarf that covers the rest of it.)
Trowa: (as a voiceover) My name is not Trowa.
Trowa: (as a voiceover) From my earliest memories I've been a nameless soldier on the battlefield.
|
|
Trowa: (voiceover) I met a man named Trowa when I was working as a mechanic on Heavyarms.
(Shot of Trowa sitting between two laptops running diagnostics)
(The blond guy who was fondling Trowa in episode one is nearby pitching a fit)
Blond guy: What do you mean, only target OZ?!
(Shot of Heavyarms scientist Dr. S, flanked by another scientist)
S: If we put Operation Meteor in motion, 2 billion people will die. Don't you think we're going too far for Heero Yuy's revenge?
Blond guy: This operation's purpose is not revenge!
Blond guy: It's so the people of the colonies conquer Earth and begin the awakening of the new human race.
|
|
S: Indeed, that is something Dekim of the Barton Foundation would come up with.
Blond guy: That's what you don't like. (Thumps his chest) My father conquering Earth doesn't amuse you! (He strides past the other two men)
S: Where are you going, Trowa?
Blond guy: I'm reporting you to Father.
(S stops the other scientist from protesting)
Blond guy: Better watch it. I'll start Operation Meteor myself if I have to.
(He smirks. A shot rings out. The blond guy pitches forward. Behind him, the other scientist is holding a smoking gun.)
(Screen is now mostly taken up by the body, with the two scientists barely seen in the background)
S: Now you've done it!
Scientist: I'm sorry. I have family on earth.
(There's a tinkling metallic noise off to the side)
S: Who's there?
(Trowa steps out of the shadows with his hands held up and walks toward the scientists)
Trowa: I have no name. So you can call me No-name.
(The scientist raises the gun again)
Scientist: You saw!
Trowa: You can kill me if you like, but I might resist a little.
S: Stop. They'll find out soon enough. It's useless trying to cover it up.
Trowa: You give up easily.
S: What?
Trowa: (dropping his arms) It's been inconvenient not having a name.
Trowa: I could take his name if you want.
Scientist: What are you saying?
Trowa: The stage of battle suits me best. (He looks up at the Gundam)
S: Are you suggesting you take Heavyarms?
Trowa: I like this machine. However, I have no interest in taking over Earth.
(Close-up of S. He slowly smiles)
S: Okay. From now on, you are Trowa Barton. I entrust you with Operation Meteor.
Trowa: Understood.
(There is some fancy animation where the camera seems to go through Trowa's solemn eye. There is a flash of bright lights. Duo gasps and flinches, but the rockets impact the corridor behind him. Fire races up the corridor, away from Duo, toward the stand-off between Heero and Wufei. Steam impacts the side of Wufei's Gundam, shoving it to the side. Scowling, Wufei braces himself. He looks toward Heero's mobile suit, but Heero has vanished. Wufei looks at the empty seat of the opposing mobile suit without expression)
|
|
Duo: He always has to make it complicated.
(Duo pushes off and floats into the blackness)
(There is a shot of a bunch of ships flying in space)
(Sally and Noin are monitoring the ships)
Sally: The Taurus units ahead of us are heading for the transit station.
Noin: They're taking the long way, but their destination is Earth.
Sally: The Preventer cruiser will arrive from the moon base soon. I suppose we could buy them some time...
Noin: Any word from Heero?
(Sally shakes her head)
|
|
Noin: (urgently) Sally, did you notice any new mobile suits in that fight?
Sally: No, there were only Tauruses and Leos.
Noin: I've underestimated them! (She begins plugging data into her computer) No thermal readings!
Sally: That unit is mostly mobile dolls.
Noin: Yes. The new mobile suits are being deployed somewhere else.
Sally: It's a well-planned decoy.
Sally: But where is the main unit?
Noin: (without answering) We'll leave here. Send an urgent message to Earth.
Sally: Roger.
(Long shot of the Earth from space. People are going about their Xmas shopping. From her office, Une looks out over the city.)
Une: People still do not see Mariemeia as a threat.
(The first few snowflakes fall. Une looks up to see a flurry of snowflakes in the sky.)
Une: (as she watches the snowflakes) With no defense, a political change on Earth will take less than 5 minutes.
Une: What shall we do, Treize?
(On Quatre's ship...)
Technician: Scrap satellite on radar!
Tech: Approximately 180 minutes to target contact.
(Somewhere in space: irregular objects are floating. Type at the bottom of the screen identifies one spiky dark lump as "MO-3".)
(Lines of the Jawa-esque mobile suits that Trowa was piloting are seen.)
(Dekim is speaking to the troops)
Dekim: My plans are perfect. I'm not like Quince.
(A shot of the L-3 colony)
(A pan over the city inside the L-3 colony. A military-type helicopter is flying across the city. Inside the copter, Relena and Mariemeia are speaking)
Relena: Conquer Earth?
Relena: Do you think you're following Treize's--no, your father's wishes by doing that?
Mariemeia: Not quite. I want to become a victor.
Relena: Then shouldn't you think for yourself what it means to fight?
Mariemeia: Relena, please don't make me repeat myself. I will not tolerate rude remarks.
(And another cut to the copter flying over the city. The camera scans to two figures watching the copter from a nearby rooftop. Fuzzy shading indicates that they are using binoculars.)
Duo: Ah, there's no way we're gonna catch up.
(Cut to Duo and Heero. Duo has the binoculars)
Duo: Probably heading for the spaceport. They're sure in an awful hurry to get to Earth.
Heero: They're going to escape.
|
|
(Heero stares silently over the city. Apparently Duo can read something into this)
Duo: (urgently) Oy, wait a minute! She's supposed to be Treize's daughter!
Heero: I'm concerned about the man called Dekim.
Heero: The name Dekim Barton rings a bell.
Duo: Are they serious? Are they really trying to put the true Operation Meteor into action?
Heero: We won't let it happen.
(The sun completely dwarfs Quatre's ship as retro rockets fire.)
Tech: Master Quatre, we'll make contact with the satellite in 20 seconds.
(Quatre is in a full space-suit, helmet on. The stars are reflected in his visor)
Quatre: Understood.
Rashid: If you think it's dangerous, please come straight back to the ship.
Quatre: (sighing) I will.
|
|
(The scrap satellite is heading for Quatre's ship at an angle)
Rashid: Starting countdown
(Quatre stares grimly at the scrap satellite as it passes)
Rashid: 7 - 6 - 5 - 4
(Quatre's crew looks on in concern)
Rashid: 3 - 2 -1
(Quatre still stares grimly at the satellite)
Rashid: Zero!
(A harpoon with a line buries into the satellite's side.)
(Quatre slides along the line to the satellite. There is an unexpected jerk. Quatre is thrown screaming off the line.)
Rashid: Master Quatre!
(Quatre is tumbling head over feet. He lands hard against the satellite's side. There are collective gasps from his crew, but Quatre's voice is soon heard.)
Quatre: I'm -- I'm all right. I made it.
(Quatre slowly stands.)
Quatre: You all take care! My regards to the Goddess Venus!
(Quatre lowers himself into the dark satellite as his crew takes off.)
Quatre: The rise in temperature has been minimal due to the air left in the satellite. But this is hotter than the desert!
(He takes off his helmet and sighs heavily before smiling down on the Gundam)
Quatre: Hi. We meet again.
|
|
Tech: The Preventer cruiser has changed course.
Dekim: They finally noticed, but too late. By the time they reach this satellite, the ruler of Earth will have changed. Launch Serpent Unit!
Tech: Yes, sir! Earth facing gates, open.
(Several ships containing mobile suits jettison into space. Looking toward Earth, they see a single bright spark that resolves into--)
Tech: Sir! Unidentified mobile suit approaching!
Dekim: What?
Tech: Verifying suit type. (He zeros in on the suit) It's -- it's the Tallgeese!
Dekim: Treize! ... No, it's Zechs.
Tech: (shouting) Tallgeese, heading this way!
(The Tallgeese's faceplate is seen through the window before the craft is sliced into pieces and crashes toward the Earth)
(Meanwhile, the Tallgeese continues to slice and dice a lot of ships, none of which have Dekim aboard.)
(Finally, a shot of the pilot. Sure enough, it's Zechs)
Zechs: Hmph. My guess was right.
Zechs: It seems a man not used to peace is still of some use.
Tech: The Serpents can't attack because of their atmospheric shielding! Should we detach the shielding?
|
|
(On the screen, Zechs' face appears)
Zechs: This is Preventer Wind.
Dekim: Zechs Marquise. I didn't think you were still alive.
Zechs: I was dead.
Zechs: But I can't sleep quietly in my coffin while the ghost of Treize is roaming around.
|
|
Zechs: I heard about you from Quince. Dekim Barton, disarm and surrender immediately!
Dekim: Hmph. Shoot, if you dare.
Zechs: What?
Dekim: If you do, you'll find out the hard way that the Serpent Unit isn't our only secret card.
Zechs: You--!
Dekim: Didn't Quince tell you? I'm the one who planned Operation Meteor.
(Meanwhile, Zechs and Dekim continue their chat)
Zechs: X18999...
Dekim: (evil laugh) Yes, we can drop the colony at any time. If you interfere any further, we will drop X18999 on Earth.
Zechs: (snarls)
Dekim: Drop your weapons and surrender. Unlike Quince, I have no intention of welcoming you as a leader, but if you want to become a soldier for our Miss Mariemeia, I'll consider it.
(Tons of mobile suit carriers head out of Dekim's ship head for Earth, deploying parachutes as breaking devices when they hit the atmosphere. Zechs watches grimly)
(Shot of Dekim on the bridge)
(Tallgeese is silhouetted against the Earth before it takes off)
(Meanwhile, somewhere in the universe, a shuttle is taking off. It is guarded by Wufei's Gundam)
Wufei: Earth, show me what true justice is!
(Inside the shuttle...)
Relena: Drop a colony on Earth! (She grabs Mariemeia by the shoulders) Stop it immediately. You mustn't do such a thing!
Mariemeia: Miss Relena, please calm down. It will not be necessary if the whole of humanity kneels down before me.
Relena: Do you really think that is what will happen?
Mariemeia: It will happen if the former leader of the World Nation, Queen Relena, offers me the highest position in the Earth districts.
Relena: What?
Mariemeia: As Vice Minister, the colonies have trust in you. You have much more influence than you think.
Relena: That's why you took me.
Mariemeia: That is correct.
(Meanwhile, on the scrap satellite heading for the sun, Quatre is running diagnostics)
Quatre: The mass temperature is over 80C. I just have to imagine it's a sauna. (He sighs and wipes his face)
(Quatre pushes a button, then leaves the room. He floats down a corridor and sits down in a small room. He flips open a compartment on his suit's arm and pushes another button)
Quatre: Please...
(An explosion occurs mid-ship. Ponderously the craft turns away from the sun. Quatre flips open a wrist compartment and counts down from five before pushing another button. Cylinders that do who-knows-what spark and blow up. The craft hurtles away from the sun.)
Quatre: (as the craft shakes around him) At least it will be a bit cooler.
(There are lots of explosions)
(Red-shirted guards are running from the explosions, but several get caught up and vaporize)
(Out of the smoke, Heero and Duo sprint. Both are holding automatic weapons)
Trowa: (as a voice over) Operation Meteor. That's what we called the Gundam-to-Earth drop plan.
(A red-shirt fires down the hallway after Duo and Heero)
|
|
Trowa: It was originally something completely different.
(There is a close-up of Trowa's eyes as he runs numbers into a computer. Meanwhile, Duo and Heero continue to fight)
Trowa: It was to increase a colony's rotation speed and destroy the equilibrium at a LaGrange point, hence dropping it on Earth. With the Earth in chaos, the Gundams attack and take over.
(Duo throws a grenade, driving the red-shirts back. He and Heero race away)
Trowa: That was the entire plan of the original Operation Meteor.
(Heero and Duo pause next to a big door. Heero taps in an entry code as Duo tosses more grenades. The door opens; the boys sprint in. They stop and gape in surprise. Red-shirted soldiers are scattered left and right.)
(Trowa is sitting at a computer terminal)
Trowa: What kept you?
Duo. Well, well. Looks like our goal is the same.
Trowa: I need help.
Trowa: The system is locked, and I'm having trouble restoring the colony's safety levels.
Duo: (wearily) Right, right.
(Duo and Heero sit at other computer terminals and start hacking)
Heero: We better hurry. They've started the main plan.
Duo: (as he works on another terminal. For the first time it's clear that he is wearing a headset) Can't unlock the final key. Have to connect the circuits directly.
Trowa: I've got important colleagues on this colony. When I realized Dekim's goal was to implement the original Operation Meteor, this was the only method I could think of. But it's taken me too long to get here.
Duo: What about Wufei? Did he become Mariemeia's soldier to prevent the mission?
Heero: He doesn't do things in such a roundabout way.
(After punching a few more buttons, Heero breaks the code)
(Trowa turns to look at Duo)
|
|
Duo: (over his headset) This is Duo.
(In space, on the Preventer cruiser...)
Sally: Is that true?
Noin: You've prevented Operation Meteor!
(Suddenly, a close-up of a weapon charging up)
(The Tallgeese is leveling its weapon on Dekim's satellite)
Zechs: This is Wind. Destroying MO-3!
(Zechs fires. A centralized explosion causes many smaller explosions. However, a shuttle escapes out of a collapsing hanger.)
(Close-up of Zechs)
Dekim: (in the shuttle) You were too late. We shall meet again.
Zechs: (snarls)
(Back to the computer room on the colony)
Trowa: We didn't make it.
Heero: Don't worry. It's enough that we saved the colony.
Voice: (from outside) You're completely surrounded, come out quietly!
Trowa: It's over.
Duo: Not quite! We've got an email from Quatre.
(Video plays of Quatre)
Quatre: This is Quatre.
Quatre: I've launched the scrap satellite toward Earth. It will reach Earth's orbit within 24 hours.
Heero: Duo, send Quatre a message. Tell him to launch Wing Zero in the direction of AGS88.
Duo: What?!
Heero: I'll receive Wing Zero in space.
(Outside, a host of red-shirts are trying to get in)
Trowa: There's a shuttle in hanger 4 you can use.
Heero: Duo, I have one more favor to ask.
Duo: (smirking) This is extraordinary. So many favors for you.
Heero: Hit me.
Duo: (starting) What did you say?
Voice: (from outside) Force the door open!
Heero: Hurry up!
Duo: (doubtfully) Okay. (He cracks his knuckles with a sudden grin) I'm going to go for it.
(He punches Heero in the jaw. Heero's head snaps to the side--)
(-- but he promptly punches Duo in the gut. Duo's eyes get very wide. He gasps for air)
Heero: (coolly) No hard feelings. One for one.
(He hands the collapsed Duo to Trowa.)
Heero: I'll leave it to you.
(Trowa slings Duo across his shoulder. Heero lays down at his feet as if he's also unconscious. The red-shirts break in.)
Trowa: Don't worry. I've got them.
(As the red shirts crowd around Trowa, he hands Duo off to one of them. Heero gets to his feet and sprints away. A horde of red shirts screaming "stop" tear after him. The camera closes in on Trowa's face)
(Closing credits roll over a series of fast-cut scenes)
(Snow falls on a big city as mobile suits land. Dekim steps onto Earth.)
(A shuttle lands as Relena's solemn face is superimposed over it.)
(Wing Zero is sent into space as Quatre watches)
(Scrambling red-shirts are unable to prevent Heero taking off in a stolen shuttle)
(Mobile suits guard a snow-shrouded palace.)
(In their shuttle, Noin and Sally stare intensely at their console screen)
(A white mobile suit hovers over the ground as Une's hair blows back in the wake)
|
|
(Wufei floats in his Gundam over Earth's atmosphere)
(On Earth, the mobile suits that are guarding the palace watch as Mariemeia stands in the snow. Relena looks solemn, then casts a despairing glance up at the sky)
(In space, a shuttle streaks toward Earth. There is a close-up of the grim young pilot. Heero)
(Mike and the 'Bots exit)
Folks have found 
Gundams here since 8/19/2000!
