Part 245: Ending part 2





: Good work, Kenichi... Thanks to all of you, the Earth has been saved.

: (.........) That's not true, Dad. All we did was make the last push... The ones who saved the Earth were the people involved with Project Aegis... And the hearts of the people who wish for peace on Earth...

: Mh... You're right.

: Even still... I guess this means the Balmar War's finally over, for real.

: Yes... It was truly a long battle...

: So... Does this mean we can go back to Earth?

: Yeah...

: (.........) C'mon, let's head back...



[SCENE CHANGE]



Yeah. For the time being, I was considering going back to Shangri-La, where Leina and Beecha and the gang are waiting.

: You're taking Puru and Puru 2 with you?

: Yup!

: But, Judau, will you be all right? That's another two mouths in the family to feed...

(.........)

: We'll be fine. We'll work right along with Judau.

The heck you will. I'm not about to let you two go through any trouble.

: B-but...

Don't worry! If I have to, I'll hop on a ship to Jupiter and work away from home for a while.

: Jupiter...? You...



?

: Here... This is for you, from Banjou.

...An attache case?

: Take a look inside.

Th-this is...!



: A token of gratitude from Banjou.

Gratitude...?

: You were a major help in the Project Aegis preparations...

Shucks... It's not like I was helping Banjou to get paid or anything...

: For God's sake, just take it.

B-but...

: Listen to you... This is your chance to be able to live with Leina and the rest, right?

(.........)

: You can't go off to Jupiter just to earn some cash after finally getting that chance!

: Shinobu's right, Judau. Stay with Leina and the others.

(.........)

: Judau...

...All right. Then, I'll be glad to take it.

: Now everyone can live together, right?

Yeah...

[SCENE CHANGE]



: (.........) I was thinking of going back to Side 7. I want to distance myself from fighting for a while.

: ...With Fa?

: Yeah.

: (.........)

: Four... If you like...

: I'm sorry. I'm planning to join Roux and head for Preventer HQ.

: Eh...?

: Four and I are going to help the Preventers out with their work.

: But, then...

: (.........) ...I don't think I can stay with you, Kamille.

: Four...

: (.........) It would be unfair to Fa...

: (.........)

: Don't make that face, Kamille. You're very important to me, but... So is Fa. Besides... It's not as though we'll never see each other again.

: (.........) Yeah, you're right...

: Well, then... Take care, Kamille.

: Say hi to Fa for me.

: Sure... You two take care, too.

[SCENE CAHNGE]



: Yes...

: You've done a lot to help us, Lieutenant Commander. Let me thank you again.

: No, no, I should be the one thanking you...

: So... When's the Megaroad scheduled to depart?

: Any minute now.

: The Megaroad is venturing outside the solar system, isn't it?

: Yeah. It'll be searching for a planet suited to becoming a second home for us.

: And we're taking lessons from the old SDF-Zero flagship... And having our Skull Squadrons and other Valkyrie squadrons accompany the Megaroad for defense.

: ...We didn't wipe out every menace that lurks beyond the solar system, after all.

: Yeah, that's true...

: The Megaroad's journey will mark the conclusion of Project Ark...

: (.........)

: Well, it looks a lot less boring to go flying into outer space than to stay in the Earth Sphere.

: By the way, I'd heard Lt. Hayase has taken the position captain on the Megaroad...

: Yes. Minmay and Myung are also accompanying the Megaroad.

: Is that so?

: There are a lot of immigrants in the Megaroad... Minmay's singing helps give uplifting support to both them and the rest of us.

: I suppose so...

: Captain Bright, it's approaching time for the ship's departure.

: Then, Lt. Cmdr Fokker, Lt. Dyson, Ensign Ichijo, Guld... I'll pray you have a safe voyage.

: Same to you...

: Take care, everyone...

[SCENE CHANGE]


...I think Duo is supposed to say "Heero's gone" or something to that effect...

: Yeah... He left Wing Zero with us...

: (.........)

: I wonder where he went...

: (.........) I can make a pretty good guess.

: (.........) Well, everyone... Are all the preparations finished?

: Yeah. The Gundams' sealing is complete.

: (.........)

: (.........) If this peace continues... Our Gundams won't be needed anymore, huh...

: (.........)

: ...Yeah. Our Gundams bring conflict and disaster...

: ...It's tough saying goodbye, isn't it...



: Right...

: (............)

: Goodbye... my Sandrock...

: Farewell... Nataku.

: So long, partner...

The shuttle is launched towards the sun...

: (.........)

: (.........)

: (.........)



: What's wrong with just sticking with Trowa?

: Names are decided by others, so there's no use second-guessing 'em. Besides... We have a place to go home to... Right?

: Yeah, we do...

: ...The Ra Cailum will be setting out for Earth soon. Let's go see it off.

: Yeah, sure.

: (.........)

: You're not coming, Wufei?

: I'll follow later... Let me be alone for a while, please.

: All right...

Everyone but Wufei leaves.

: (.........)



: (.........)

: Just because peace has come, doesn't mean our job is over...

: The Preventers that put out the flames, hm... ...Very well.

[SCENE CAHNGE]



: Yeah...

: But, are you sure about this? Redeveloping Mars after the damage from the last war will be very difficult...

: It's something Relena's trying to do. Of course it will be dangerous. So it makes the most sense for those who are supposed to be dead to do it. Noin, you don't have to stay with me...

: Please don't make me repeat myself, Zechs...


[SCENE CHANGE]



: You've done some truly tough work, Commander Bright...

: The Earth Sphere has been saved, thanks to all of you. Allow me to thank you on everyone's behalf.

: Not at all... But, what will happen to all of us now?

: The Londo Bell unit will be reestablished as an independent external Federation squadron, and they'll be charged with keeping the peace in the Earth Sphere.

: ...Roger that.

: Something wrong?

: N-no, sir...

: Bright, you should take this chance to come out and say it.

: But...

: Is there something you were hoping for?

: (.........) No... Nothing at all. I'll begin reassembling the forces without delay.

: (.........)



: Time off?

: He's worked long and hard commanding the Argama and Londo Bell units since the last war broke out. I know that our mission has to continue being carried out, moreso now, but... The commander is also a father to two children. I'd like for him to take this chance for some time off.

: A-Amuro... You...

: Bright, I'll handle reassembling the Londo Bell unit. Take a break for once. Otherwise, I'm the one that Mirai's going to hate...

: (.........)

: All right. If that's the way it is, I'll give the commander a vacation.

: Th... thank you very much, sir.

: Let me handle the rest, and you get plenty of rest, Bright...

[SCENE CHANGE]





And the SRX Team has received dissolution orders.

: (.........)

Also, Aya... You're being reassigned to the information bureau, and Rai is being reassigned to General Staff Headquarters.

: !

: ...What about Ryu, Levi, and Lieutenant Viletta...?





: Y-you can't...!

: Why is it only the two of us who get punished with reassignment!? If Ryusei and the others are getting thrown into jail, then as members of the same team, we should be, too...!

(.........) ...Limiting your punishment to just reassignment was all Rob, Dr. Kobayashi, and I could do...

: (.........)

: (............)

[SCENE CAHNGE]



: Yeah. That's going to be the new Londo Bell unit's base.

: What's Londenion?

: It's a space colony in Side 1.

: So, Kou, your group's getting assigned to the Londo Bell?

: Yeah, along with Lt. Amuro, Lt. Burning, and their group.

: Are you going too, Usso?

: No...

: We're returning to Kasarelia...

: We want to live together with Odelo, Karl, and the rest of the group.

: Ahh... Guess you don't need to pilot a mobile suit anymore, huh.

: Yeah. Let us take care of things from here on, Usso.

: Sorry... Ryouma.

: There's nothing to apologize for.

: So, Kou, you guys are going to stay busy now, aren't you?

: Well, things are more relaxed than they've been. Preservation of order is our primary mission.

: What're you talkin' about? I'm gonna make you learn the ABCs of space combat from the ground up!

: Eeh!?

: Keith's got it tough, too...

: But... I guess it's kind of lonely, parting like this.

: Yeah... We've all been together for so long...

: (.........)

: You've got it wrong.

: Eh?

: We'll protect the peace on Earth... The Londo Bell unit will protect the peace in space.



: Hey, yeah... You're right.

: We'll work hard to ensure the peace we've finally gained doesn't go to waste. So...

: Yeah... We'll do our best, too, Kou...

[SCENE CHANGE]





: Yes... That's right. It's me... Shiro...!

: (.........)

: (.........)

: (.........)

: ...Kouji...!

: ...Dad......!

: You've grown splendidly, Kouji...!

: (.........) ...Dad... I just figured it out...

: (.........)

: Great... It was you who made Great Mazinger, wasn't it?

: ...Yes......

: Then... Of course it makes sense for Great and Mazinger Z to be blood brothers... And... The same for the pilots, me and Tetsuya...

: Yes... You and Shiro... and Tetsuya and Jun are all irreplacable children to me...

: (.........)

: (.........)

: Kouji, as of now, I've fulfilled my promise to you.

: Yeah......

: I'm so happy for you, Kouji...

: ...Thanks, Tetsuya... Jun...



: All right... Let's go send them off together, then!

[SCENE CHANGE]



: A gate to La Gias should open here soon.

: Is Lan Gran doing okay...?

: Time flows differently on the surface than on La Gias, so... Not much time should have elapsed since we came to the surface.

: Whatever the case, we should hurry and get back...

: (.........) ...Yang Long, you're really not going with us...?

: (.........) ...With Shu dead, a major crisis endangering the surface and La Gias has passed, but... The upheaval in Lan Gran hasn't settled down...

: Yeah...

: Besides, I need to ascertain General Kirkus's true motives.

: (.........)

: (And... Prince Feil's will, as well...)

: What will you do about using a gate, Yang Long?

: That's something I'll work out on my own.

: (.........)



: Huh...?

: Even with Shu dead, and the DC finished... My old man's still out there somewhere.

: Your old man... You mean Dr. Bian, the DC high commander?

: ...I've figured out that he's not on Jupiter anymore. And... I want to find out for certain what he plans on doing now... So I'm going to La Gias and working with Yang Long.

: Ryune......

: Just like Yang Long... The whole General Kirkus issue is bothering me.

: (.........) ...All right.

: Well then, Masaki... Take good care of Lan Gran, please.

: Heh... I don't hear you asking favors from me too often.

: I've noticed how you've matured in all of this fighting.

: (.........) ...See you later, Yang Long, Ryune.

: Yeah...

: Let us meet again in La Gias...

Yang Long and Ryune leave

: (.........)

: Are you sure... that was for the best, Masaki...?

: (.........) Yang Long aside, Ryune has her own ideas and thoughts. I... believe in her.

: I see... (...I suppose... I must get a bit jealous...)

: Ah, Brother! Kouji's group is here!



: No worries. We were just getting ready to leave.

: Masaki, Precia... Take care of yourselves in La Gias.

: Okay. You too, Sayaka, everyone.

: Hey, where's Ryusei, anyway? Is he here?

: Nope... Haven't see him.

: I left a message with the Far East Base, but...

: Aww, man... I had a parting gag all lined up and everything...

: (.........)

: Masaki, the gate's about to open.

: Yeah...

: Hey, Masaki... If you ever need our help...

: (.........) No, I appreciate the sentiment, but we'll protect Lan Gran's peace with our own hands. That's the duty of the Elemental Lords and their chosen pilots.

: (.........) I get it... Well, hang in there.

: ...Same to you guys.

: Let's meet again.

: Sure...!

[SCENE CAHNGE]



: ...Aye-aye. Thank you, and come again!

: (.........)

: Ah...? There's a little more than we agreed on in here...

: That is a special bonus.

: You're certain about this, Banjou...?

: Yeah. You've done a good job of taking care of us. It's an expression of gratitude.

: Hot damn! We can expect a sweet payout this time.

: That's assuming Poncho doesn't secretly pocket it all.



: Wouldn't you?

: Then, Banjou...

: Yeah. I'll be counting on you guys if we need to meet again.

: Well, of course... Appearing immediately when called is the J9 motto.









: W-wait a moment, please! That's horrible, leaving your manager behind!

The J9 team leave

: (.........)

: Well, then... This wraps up one issue.

: (.........) By the way, Sir Banjou... Regarding the Ancestors sleeping underground in this time period... Or rather, the people sleeping in the Earth Cradle. What shall we do about them?

: (.........) ...Having successfully stopped the shockwave, the future in our time will probably change... So they might never wind up becoming the Ancestors...

: (.........)

: Besides, they're supposed to be people who believe in mankind's future... To disturb the sleep of people like that... I'd... rather not.

: (.........) I do wonder if the people of that time period are safe...

: (.........) If it worked out like this on our world, their world's history should also change...

: (.........)



: Yes, sir...

: Then I'm sure their world is becoming the way they want it to be.

: (.........)
