| Ext. Earth’s atmosphere. Wufei and Heero continue to attack
each other with their Gundams. |
|
Heero: |
Mariemaia's
autocracy will repeat our tragic history of bloody wars. As long as we
continue to fight, the need for warriors like ourselves will persist. |
|
Wufei: |
No! Peace must be
won! Humanity needs wars to learn its lesson! That's why I must keep
fighting! |
|
Heero: |
... |
| Title: #5 Last Battle For Peace. |
|
Wufei: |
!! Heero! |
|
Heero: |
You can never end
the cycle of bloodshed that way. |
| Heero, sitting slack in the control chair, suddenly
disengages from combat with Wufei and drops Wing Zero into the ocean below. |
|
Heero: |
Tell me, how many
more people... do we have to kill? |
|
Wufei: |
... |
|
Heero: |
How many more times
must I watch that girl and her puppy die? Wing Zero doesn't tell me
anything. Tell me, Chang. The cycle will continue... The tragedy will
repeat. |
| Wufei has brief flashback visions of the time when his
colony self-destructed, and then drops altitude until Altron hovers over the
place where Wing Zero dropped below the water. |
|
Wufei: |
Master Ran!
|
|
Master Ran: |
Don't stop... Don't
stop until we live in a world without war. |
| Fight, Wufei, for your own justice. |
|
Wufei: |
Noooo! |
| The flashback ends. |
|
Wufei: |
.... |
| Ext. Streets of Brussels, Zechs and Noin continue to fight
against the Serpent troops of MMA. The fight is broadcast on a large
vidscreen, and is watched by a crowd of people on a city block. |
|
Person 1: |
There's a battle in
Brussels! |
|
Person2: |
Someone's fighting
Mariemaia! |
| Dekim makes a general broadcast to the world at large… |
|
Dekim: |
Mariemaia rules
supreme! See what happens to those who oppose us! |
| Ext. Streets of Brussels, Zechs and Noin continue to fight
against the Serpent troops of MMA. |
|
Zechs: |
We can't hold out
much longer. Get out now! |
|
Noin: |
I already told you,
I'm not leaving you. |
|
Zechs: |
So be it. |
|
Noin: |
We can hold out any
longer! |
|
Zechs: |
Not necessarily.
Look! The cavalry has arrived! |
| The front line of Serpents suddenly drops to the ground and
Gundam Sandrock, Heavyarms, and Deathscythe are revealed. |
|
Quatre: |
It looks like we
arrived just in time. Nothing you two can’t take care of yourselves. You
defeated all those MS without killing a single soldier! |
|
Duo: |
Let’s show these
people a war without killing before we get rid of these Gundams once and for
all. |
|
Trowa: |
250 serpents left.
We each take 50. Make it count. This is her final battle. |
|
Zechs: |
Without their army,
Dekim and Mariemaia will surrender. It's up to the people to rebuild a
lasting peace. |
|
Quatre: |
Let's go!
|
|
Duo: |
Yeah! |
| The arrival of the Gundams is broadcast on the same large
vidscreen, and is watched by a crowd of people on a city block. |
|
Person 1: |
It's the Gundams! |
|
Person 2: |
The Gundams are
fighting back! |
| Int. Presidential Residence: Control Room. Relena and
Mariemaia sit in two chairs positioned on a dais at the back of the room;
Dekim and the monitoring stations take up the center portion of the area,
and a view of the mobile suit battle is displayed on the main video monitor
in the front of the room. |
|
Dekim: |
Those fools still
haven’t given up?! |
|
Comm. Officer: |
Even if they do
manage to destroy our Serpents, they'll never penetrate this mansion's
defenses. |
|
Relena: |
I…. I…. I was a
coward! |
| Relena leaves her position next to Mariemaia and runs over
to one of the work stations in order to interrupt the broadcast.
|
|
Relena: |
Everyone... |
| City plaza: The broadcast is interrupted first by the image
and voice of Relena Darlian. |
|
Relena: |
Don't let
Mariemaia's threats scare you! Peace cannot be given, nor can it be forced!
Peace must be earned. You must long for it in your hearts! |
|
Person 1: |
Hey, isn't that... |
|
Person 2: |
Yeah! It's Queen
Relena! |
| Ext. Ocean. Heero moves the control levers, and the Gundam
Wing Zero prepares the lift from the ocean floor. |
|
Heero: |
Don't fail me now,
Zero. We still have a job to do. |
| The street battle in Brussels worsens and the Gundams begin
to take some damage. |
|
Quatre: |
Oh no! I just lost
my heat shotel! |
|
Duo: |
My ‘Scythe’s out of
juice. And I'm almost out of ammo! |
|
Zechs: |
Gundam team, you're
outnumbered. Retreat! |
|
Quatre: |
What?! |
|
Duo: |
We’ll die before we
surrender! |
|
Trowa: |
Dekim’s forces are
fighting a lost cause. We can’t give up now. |
|
Noin: |
But you can't just
let yourselves die here! |
|
Duo: |
We’re used to
fighting a losing battle. That's what makes us special. Don't worry! |
| Presidential Residence: Control Room. Relena pauses in the
circle of drawn pistols aimed at her. |
|
Dekim: |
I kindly advise you
to not pull such foolish actions again, Minister. |
|
Relena: |
Isn’t leading a
crowd to war against your principles? I’m no longer a Peacecraft. But I did
not become a Darlian again to avenge my father's death. Hate only breeds
hate. I realize now that to gain true peace takes more than just words. What
we need now is not principles... but the desire for peace. |
|
Marimaia: |
But your way
failed! The people don't fight back! I’ve already won! |
| Presidential Residence: In a hallway somewhere in the
building, a soldier sees an intruder. |
| MM
Soldier: |
Who's there?! |
| Une knocks the soldier unconscious and continues down the
hall towards the control room. |
| Une: |
One of Treize’s old
guards. How many soldiers was Dekim able to fool? Zechs and the others are
running out of time. I must hurry. |
| Ext. Brussels. During the battle in the streets of the city,
the Gundams, Tallgeese, and Noin’s Taurus pause to evaluate their status. |
|
Duo: |
I'm all out of
ammo. |
|
Zechs: |
Well, this is it... |
| Presidential Residence: Control Room. Mariemaia watches the
image of the battle on the video screen. |
|
Marimaia: |
The Gundam units
have stopped firing! You see? What can they hope to do now? |
|
Relena: |
... |
| Ext. Brussels. The mobile suit battle pauses for a moment of
decision. |
|
Duo: |
If we blow
ourselves up, we can take out half of the remaining Serpents. |
|
Trowa: |
No! We don't want
to take any other lives with us. |
|
Duo: |
...Right. |
|
Quatre: |
!! What?! |
| Another mobile suit appears in the sky above. |
|
Trowa: |
Another enemy?! |
|
Zechs: |
Wing Zero! |
|
Duo: |
Heero! |
| Wing Zero, carbon-scored and damaged from the fight with
Altron and its subsequent plunge through the Earth's atmosphere, holds
position in the sky above Brussels, its massive buster rifle pointed at the
Presidential Estate barricade below. |
|
Heero: |
Target the
executive mansion. Twin buster rifle, locked on! |
| In the Presidential Residence Control Room. they watch the
image of the battle on the video screen. |
|
Comm. Officer: |
It's another
Gundam! |
|
Dekim: |
What?! |
|
Comm. Officer: |
The pilot’s hailing
us! |
| Heero's image comes up on the main monitor screen. |
|
Relena: |
Heero! |
|
Heero: |
I hope, for your
sake, that those shields of yours are as strong as you say. |
|
Dekim: |
What are you doing!
How dare you-- |
|
Heero: |
Do you feel safe in
your cage? |
|
Mariemaia: |
You can’t hurt us!
You're powerless against us. |
|
Heero: |
You asked for it... |
| Heero fires upon the Presidential Residence, and the force
of the blast causes the control room to shudder. |
|
Dekim: |
Impossible! |
|
Mariemaia: |
You're wasting your
time. Your gun is useless. |
|
Relena: |
You're sweating,
Mariemaia. Worried? |
|
Dekim: |
Serpent attack
force! Shoot down that Gundam! |
| Heero fires again… and again. |
|
Comm. Officer: |
Shields down to 50
percent! |
|
Dekim: |
That can't be! |
|
Comm. Officer: |
Sir! Another direct
will destroy us! |
|
Dekim: |
Hold your fire! We
have Relena Peacecraft down here! |
|
Relena: |
Heero... |
| Mariemaia looks at Relena, but Relena’s eyes are closed, and
she looks peaceful and calm. |
|
Mariemaia: |
.... |
| Heero has a brief flashback to a moment of his training when
he met a little girl and her puppy. Heero ignores the attacking Serpent
mobile suits and takes aim on the shield once more. He fires, and this time,
Wing Zero begins to break up and flames and smoke exhaust into the cockpit. |
|
Heero: |
Ahhh! |
| Wing Zero's final shot breaks through the protective shield,
and the control center bursts into flames as well. Lady Une runs in from the
back of the control room, and tackles both Relena and Mariemaia to the
ground. |
|
Mariemaia: |
Ooh… |
| Une: |
Are you alright? |
|
Mariemaia: |
Who are you? |
| Une: |
Let's just say I'm
a friend of your father’s. I won't let his daughter die. |
| In the front of the control room, the Comm. Officer
continues to report the status to Dekim over the wreckage of his desk. |
|
Comm. Officer: |
Sir, another Gundam
at No. 4 defense line, Point E! |
|
Dekim: |
What? |
|
Comm. Officer: |
Sir! |
| Brussels: Altron stands in the center of a city square with
many people standing at the feet of the mobile suit. Serpent mobile suits
stand opposite Altron, and the people stand between Altron and the Serpents,
shouting. |
|
Person 1: |
We're not going to
take it anymore! |
|
Person 2: |
No more war! |
|
Person 3: |
We can take care of
our own peace! |
| Wufei smiles to himself. |
|
Wufei: |
The people rose up
for peace. I can stop fighting now. Good bye, Treize. |
| In the control center, Dekim and the others continue to
watch the video monitor. Une stands with Relena and Mariemaia and addresses
Dekim. |
| Une: |
General Khushrenada
loved those who stood up for what they believed. He knew that you could
never have peace through force! You lose, Dekim Barton! |
|
Dekim: |
Silence! We’re the
true masters of the Earth Sphere! Mariemaia, you are the rightful heir to
power! |
| A man loyal to Treize watches Dekim’s rant in horror. |
|
Treize Loyalist: |
.... |
| In a daze, Mariemaia stumbles towards Dekim. |
|
Mariemaia: |
Yes... I should
rule... like my father, Treize... |
| Relena walks around to step in front of Mariemaia and raises
her hand as if to slap Mariemaia across the face. |
|
Relena: |
I'm sorry, but it's
time you woke up, Mariemaia! |
|
Mariemaia: |
Relena... |
|
Relena: |
Now that you know
fear, you can accept your fault. |
|
Dekim: |
I've had enough of
you, Relena Peacecraft! Don't give my Mariemaia the wrong idea! |
| Dekim points a gun at Relena. |
|
Relena: |
Shoot me if you
want! I have nothing to lose. |
|
Dekim: |
Die, you insipid
fool! |
| Dekim fires his gun at Relena. Mariemaia pushes Relena out
of the way and runs directly into Dekim's bullet. |
|
Relena: |
!! Mariemaia! |
|
Dekim takes aim at Relena again. |
|
| Une: |
Dekim, you monster! |
|
Dekim: |
Hmph! I can find
another Mariemaia. I picked up that girl on the stre-- |
| Lady Une shouts out at Dekim, and draws her sidearm, taking
aim. A shot is fired, and Dekim falls to the ground. A soldier of
Mariemaia's Army stands to the side, holding a pistol and shaking slightly. |
|
Treize Loyalist: |
The traitor’s been
executed. My apologies to General Treize. |
|
Relena: |
Mariemaia! I was
wrong... I'm sorry. |
| The soldier salutes, and the remaining soldiers follow his
lead. |
|
Heero: |
I’ll release you
from your pain. |
| Heero speaks from the dark corner of the room, and Relena
turns around, surprised, and sees Heero holding a gun, which is pointed a
Mariemaia. |
|
Relena: |
Heero! |
|
Mariemaia: |
Thank you... |
|
Mariemaia: |
.... |
| Heero fires an empty gun at Mariemaia, symbolically killing
her and her past. Mariemaia closes her eyes and smiles. |
|
Heero: |
I killed her. That
little girl. I didn't mean to... I won't kill again... |
|
Relena: |
Heero! |
| Relena runs to catch an unconscious and falling Heero and
she grabs him as he collapses. |
|
Relena: |
It's over. |
| Dawn breaks across the skyline of the city, revealing the
profiles of Deathscythe, Heavyarms and Sandrock. Duo is standing on a grassy
hill, detonator in hand and looking at the Gundams. |
|
Duo: |
Well Deathscythe,
old buddy... This is it! |
| He depresses the plunger on the detonator, and the three
mobile suits disintegrate in front of Trowa, Duo and Quatre. |
|
Duo: |
So long, Gundams. |
|
Trowa: |
I'm a no name
again. |
|
Quatre: |
You should stay
"Trowa." It suits you. |
|
Duo: |
I agree! Everyone
needs a name. Relax. Besides, we have a place to go back to. Right? |
|
Trowa: |
Yeah. |
|
Quatre: |
Uh-huh. |
| In China, Gundam Altron explodes in plume of smoke as Wufei
watches from a far distance. |
|
Wufei: |
Nataku... Rest in
peace. |
| He turns, and Sally is standing behind him, dressed in a
Preventers uniform. |
|
Sally: |
Wufei. Noin and
Zechs have disappeared. I could use your help if you're looking for a job. |
|
Wufei: |
Preventers? Why
not. |
| Above Earth's atmosphere in a small shuttle. Zechs and Noin,
in Preventers space uniforms, are sitting at the controls of the craft. |
|
Noin: |
Mars? Are you sure?
The terraforming isn't finished yet. |
|
Zechs: |
It's another one of
Relena's crazy crusades. What else is an old warrior like me going to do?
You know you don't have to come with me, Noin. |
|
Noin: |
Don't make me say
again, Zechs. |
|
Zechs: |
.... |
| The shuttle takes off for space. |
| Int. Meeting hall. Relena stands before a large video screen
with the image of the "Mars Terraforming Project" behind her and many people
in attendance in the room listening to her speech. In the wings of the
stage, wearing dark glasses and a suit and wearing a communication earpiece,
is Heero Yuy. |

| Over the ending title, one last snapshot for each character… |
| Lady Une, dressed in civilian clothing, pushing a
wheelchair-bound Mariemaia in front of a gravestone. |
| Duo, dressed in s uniform shirt and cap with Gundam 20th
on the front and carrying a clipboard, stands near a scrap yard on a colony
while Hilde stands on a pile of parts, carrying a bag and calling to Duo.
|
| Catherine waves at the audience while Trowa, dressed as a
clown, takes a bow in the circus spotlight. |
| Quatre sits at a corporate desk, dressed in a suit and tie,
reading a page held in his right hand and typing with his left. |
| Sally Po points to the left and shouts as Wufei Chang, now
also wearing a Preventers uniform, crosses his arms over his chest and
doesn’t react. |
| Zechs is sitting in the pilot’s seat of the shuttle, dressed
in a Preventer spacesuits, while Noin, similarly dressed, leans casually
over the back of his seat. |
