Part 99: Epilogue (Part 2)
Ptolemaios Hangar
![](2-duo.jpg)
So the Black Knights are back in Area 11.
![](3-sumeragi.jpg)
Aren't you Colony Gundams going to join them?
![](2-duo.jpg)
The situation's changed on us. Area 11's not half as important as it used to be.
![](4-quattre.jpg)
And our Colonies have been accepted into the Federation. Our job is to stand by.
![](5-allelujah.jpg)
Those talks Chairman Roddick arranged between the Colonies and their administration bore fruit, then.
![](6-lasse.jpg)
That tricky bastard actually kept a promise for once.
![](7-wufei.jpg)
But it may only be an illusion.
![](8-chris_worried.jpg)
What?
![](4-quattre.jpg)
Ostensibly, the Colonies are going to be a member of the Federation equal to the countries.
![](4-quattre.jpg)
But the three great nations are going to appoint a new Colony representative.
![](3-sumeragi.jpg)
A puppet, you mean.
![](9-quattre_sad.jpg)
...
![](7-wufei.jpg)
We're only agents. We don't know what our superiors are up to.
![](7-wufei.jpg)
But if that's true, I at least will reject the Federation.
![](10-tieria.jpg)
And then what? The Colonies want to join the Federation.
![](2-duo.jpg)
Then we'll fight ourselves, without any backing.
![](11-trowa.jpg)
Our mission is the liberation of the Colonies.
![](12-heero_normal.jpg)
...
![](13-setsuna_normal.jpg)
Is that what you fight for?
![](12-heero_normal.jpg)
Yes.
![](13-setsuna_normal.jpg)
Even if it is not what Relena Dorian wishes for?
![](12-heero_normal.jpg)
I'm not fighting for her.
![](13-setsuna_normal.jpg)
Then what do you wish for?
![](12-heero_normal.jpg)
...the same thing you do, most likely.
![](13-setsuna_normal.jpg)
I see.
![](2-duo.jpg)
Hey, thanks for everything, Ms. Sumeragi. We should be going, though.
![](3-sumeragi.jpg)
Thank you too. We wouldn't have been able to fight this long without you.
![](4-quattre.jpg)
All humans joined as one... in a sense, Celestial Being's mission succeeded.
![](4-quattre.jpg)
What will you do now?
![](3-sumeragi.jpg)
We're still thinking about it.
![](7-wufei.jpg)
If we start a new fight, will you come to stop us?
![](14-sumeragi_normal.jpg)
Still thinking about it.
![](3-sumeragi.jpg)
But I hope it doesn't come to that.
![](11-trowa.jpg)
Good.
![](2-duo.jpg)
Hey, we don't want to fight you either.
![](2-duo.jpg)
So long, Celestial Being. Let's meet again somewhere that isn't a battlefield.
![](10-tieria.jpg)
The pilots of other Gundams... and their fight continues...
![](5-allelujah.jpg)
The world needs them too, if it's going to change.
![](6-lasse.jpg)
So where are we headed, Ms. Sumeragi?
![](3-sumeragi.jpg)
Like I told Quattre, we need to think about it.
![](14-sumeragi_normal.jpg)
Both Celestial Being and GOONZ were carried along the waves of change.
![](14-sumeragi_normal.jpg)
As I see it, our real fight starts now.
![](15-feldt.jpg)
The world was changed. But we still don't know what happened to the stolen Veda...
![](10-tieria.jpg)
Finding out is our new mission, then.
![](14-sumeragi_normal.jpg)
I'm not sure we have that luxury.
![](14-sumeragi_normal.jpg)
Unlike most of GOONZ, we and the Black Knights are still considered terrorists.
![](5-allelujah.jpg)
So we're on the run from the Federation?
![](16-lichty_serious.jpg)
I thought the Chairman was going to take care of that for us.
![](14-sumeragi_normal.jpg)
And we can hope for the best, but...
![](17-setsuna.jpg)
We still have a reason to exist.
![](6-lasse.jpg)
Setsuna...
![](17-setsuna.jpg)
If this world is at peace, let us fade into the shadows. But if war breaks out once more...
![](5-allelujah.jpg)
Then we'll come right back.
![](10-tieria.jpg)
That is our duty, left us by Lockon Stratos.
![](13-setsuna_normal.jpg)
We must carry it out. We, as Gundam Meisters of Celestial Being.
World Federation Council Office
![](19-ribbons.jpg)
...I've set aside the perfect position for you.
![](20-elgan_closed.jpg)
...g....
![](19-ribbons.jpg)
Commander-in-Chief of the World Federation Military... a proper title with bite, unlike World Peacekeeping Council Chairman.
![](20-elgan_closed.jpg)
...a...hh....
![](19-ribbons.jpg)
I see the drug is working. Even you can't muster up the strength to speak.
![](19-ribbons.jpg)
Now, much as I do regret this, I'm afraid I have to make an informal movement against the office of Commander-in-Chief.
![](19-ribbons.jpg)
Elgan Roddick. I was shocked to find you in the data in the deepest level of Veda.
![](19-ribbons.jpg)
You were Aeolia's oldest co-conspirator... you've lived for over 200 years.
![](19-ribbons.jpg)
No wonder Veda approved cooperation with the U. N.
![](20-elgan_closed.jpg)
Gh... h... ah...
![](19-ribbons.jpg)
I don't know who or what you are, but I'm putting you under observation.
![](19-ribbons.jpg)
You'll be unconscious for a while. And afterwards, you'll tell me...
![](19-ribbons.jpg)
All about the Black Revelations.
![](20-elgan_closed.jpg)
Aug... gh...
![](19-ribbons.jpg)
I'm already guiding the Romfeller Foundation. All I need now is a working control system, and the world will turn just fine.
![](19-ribbons.jpg)
I will bring about the future you and Aeolia designed.
![](20-elgan_closed.jpg)
U...ugh.... ah...
OZ HQ Office
![](22-treize.jpg)
So the Commander-in-Chief of the World Federation Military is Elgan Roddick.
![](23-lady.jpg)
Yes. Likely due to his role as WPC Chairman during the Destruction Event.
![](22-treize.jpg)
Sounds like a good choice, if his policies are usable.
![](23-lady.jpg)
What do you mean?
![](22-treize.jpg)
Maybe later. Lady, send them in.
![](23-lady.jpg)
Of course.
![](24-zechs.jpg)
Colonel Zechs Marquis reporting.
![](22-treize.jpg)
Thank you for coming, Zechs... and gentlemen of ZEUTH.
![](25-amuro.jpg)
...
![](22-treize.jpg)
Quattro Bajeena, Amuro Ray, Camille Bidan, Fa Yuiri, and soldiers of AEUG...
![](22-treize.jpg)
As well as Kira Yamato, Athrun Zala, Shinn Asuka, and Lunamaria Hawke...
![](26-camille.jpg)
...
![](27-shinn.jpg)
...
![](22-treize.jpg)
I'm Treize Kushrinada, commander of OZ. I believe we've met, so I'll avoid a long introduction.
![](22-treize.jpg)
With the establishment of the Federation, the nations are pooling their military resources into the World Federation Military.
![](28-kira.jpg)
The World Federation... Military...
![](29-aslan.jpg)
The largest armed forces in history, tasked with protecting every citizen of the Federation...
![](22-treize.jpg)
OZ has been recognized as an independent task force within the Military.
![](22-treize.jpg)
Elgan Roddick has recommended all of you to be considered for membership in OZ.
![](24-zechs.jpg)
I am Colonel Zechs Marquis, tactical commander of OZ. I will be leading the operative squadron.
![](30-noin.jpg)
I'm Lucrezia Noin, his second in command.
![](26-camille.jpg)
(We're joining OZ?)
![](27-shinn.jpg)
(This Treize Kushrinada... I guess he's not too wrapped up in our past.)
![](22-treize.jpg)
I would like to appoint Quattro Bajeena as subcommander and Zechs' backup.
![](31-quattro.jpg)
Yes, sir.
![](22-treize.jpg)
The world is entering a new era. I have high hopes for all of you.
![](25-amuro.jpg)
(Hopes? But what exactly does Treize hope we'll do?)
![](23-lady.jpg)
I will now introduce you to the existing members of OZ. This way, please.
![](32-treize_closed.jpg)
I'm sending them down a cruel road...
![](32-treize_closed.jpg)
And I will be the loser.
![](33-evildorothy.jpg)
Master Treize...
![](22-treize.jpg)
Dorothy...
![](33-evildorothy.jpg)
I hear those ZEUTH Gundams have joined OZ?
![](22-treize.jpg)
From Duke Dermaille? He does have a weakness for his granddaughter.
![](33-evildorothy.jpg)
Hee hee. Is that a good idea when the world is changing?
![](22-treize.jpg)
Perhaps...
![](22-treize.jpg)
Dorothy, what do you want the new world to be like?
![](33-evildorothy.jpg)
Don't you know?
![](22-treize.jpg)
I suppose...
![](33-evildorothy.jpg)
Hee hee... ha ha ha...
![](33-evildorothy.jpg)
I want there to be war again!
Scott Labs Transport
![](35-crowe_concern.jpg)
Ah...
![](36-crowe_serious.jpg)
Choo! Is someone talking about me?
![](37-crowe_normalface.jpg)
Maybe it's Marguerite. She ditched us before we even got back to Earth. Wonder where she went?
![](36-crowe_serious.jpg)
Or maybe Asakim... he did say he was after my soul.
![](36-crowe_serious.jpg)
...
![](37-crowe_normalface.jpg)
Oh well. I'm out of debt and free as the wind, and I'm even gainfully employed for 1000 G a month.
![](37-crowe_normalface.jpg)
Peace and freedom at last. I can go where the mood takes me.
![](38-crowe_smile.jpg)
Come on, Brasta. The DAMons can't start their party without us.
![](39-traia_comm_normalface.jpg)
Hey, Crowe. I almost forgot something important.
![](37-crowe_normalface.jpg)
What's up, chief? Is the mission off?
![](39-traia_comm_normalface.jpg)
Not quite. You owe me for keeping my mouth shut before that last one.
![](37-crowe_normalface.jpg)
I completely forgot. 300 G, right?
![](37-crowe_normalface.jpg)
Just take it out of my salary.
![](39-traia_comm_normalface.jpg)
With pleasure. So no pay this month, got it.
![](40-crowe_scream.jpg)
I thought my salary was 1000 G!
![](41-traia_comm_mask.jpg)
We made the agreement a month ago. At 50% interest every ten days, your tab comes to 1012.5 G.
![](41-traia_comm_mask.jpg)
But you can keep the extra 12.5.
![](40-crowe_scream.jpg)
Wait a minute! This is some nasty sharking here!
![](39-traia_comm_normalface.jpg)
I never said I was fair. You should have read the fine print.
![](35-crowe_concern.jpg)
I thought you were trying to make me feel better before the battle.
![](39-traia_comm_normalface.jpg)
Don't try to pull that on me! I'm paying the lab's bills out of my own pocket!
![](39-traia_comm_normalface.jpg)
Not lab funds, my actual money! So you're not skipping out on yours!
![](35-crowe_concern.jpg)
I guess no matter how much the world changes, I'm never going to...
![](40-crowe_scream.jpg)
Damn it! Why am I in debt
again?!
I've lost sight of my dream
In the blinding pain of my wounds
The dream I once had is fading away
Give me a reason to fight
Until I can finally have peace
Because I am allowed no doubts
A drop of water floats up to the sky
Stars cry out into the silence as they fade
Each one like a brilliantly-colored flower
Showing me my one single wish
Why do we hurt each other? We're all beings with life,
We all hurt, we all bleed
I'm a soldier who doesn't know his name
And the last thing I think of in my final moment
Is the same thing you do - the ones precious to me
Your smile is my dream
Lighting up the darkness of battle
You live in my dreams
Echoing through the universe
A voice wanders in between, and I don't care if it's false
The thread of time is warm and soft
It brings us one single hope
If I were born again, I would find you
Even if we find ourselves in hatred
We will reincarnate over and over
Until the world is free of war
Into a future where all our hands are joined
Why do we hurt each other? We're all beings with life,
We all hurt, we all bleed
I'm a soldier still without a name
Holding onto my one single wish
Another flower scattering into the sky
I'm a nameless, lonely star
