(Axion Foundation Transport Aircraft, Cockpit)
-Crowe : So, Let's hear some more about this next job.
-Traia : As long as you don't ditch when you hear it. I don't want you to take the Blaster and run off on that million G debt.
-Crowe Excuse me, that's a 999,999 G debt.
-Traia Oh, don't be pedantic.
-Crowe : That's the price tag on my freedom you're talking about.
-Traia : Well, if you're going to be that way, I guess I don't have to worry about you running off.
-Crowe : This is crazy. Wanting me to barge in on the unveiling of a new AEU model and destroy it.
-Traia : Ill explain. But first, do you know that Axiom's main buisness is arms manufacturing?
-Crowe : It's a military industry and I'm ex-military. So I know that much.
-Crowe: I also know you have a bad habit of selling to anyone who asks, which doesnt make you very popular
-Traia : Well… You're bound to step on a few toes when you're making money.
-Crowe : And thats why the WLF were using them in the recent attack.
-Traia : That's true, but it doesnt help that our moron CEO seems to go out of his way to be hated.
-Traia: It's him who wants us to crash the exhibiton
-Crowe : So the CEO has a grudge against the AEU?
-Traia : Well more accurately, he has a grudge against their new model. It's been wiping the floor with the Axio MK.7 in Traials.
-Crowe : The Axio… It's one of the worlds best sellers, even used by terrorists.
-Crowe: In the AEU, mobile suits are the core of both their air and ground forces. It's going to be hard to break into that.
-Traia : You're right about that. But that moron still wants you to go in and ruin their unveiling.
-Crowe : Ill be no different from a terrorist!
-Crowe: That's why you're making me fly the transport plane solo!
-Traia : That's not true. Our lab is a bit unique among Axiom labs, so… Barely any employees even know it exists.
-Traia: So we only have the minimum number of staff working here.
-Crowe : Really… Maybe the CEO just hates you and is giving you the cold shoulder?
-Traia : I won't deny that we don't get along. And well... I dont want to be friends with him, not even a little bit.
-Crowe : Please dont involve your subordinates in your personal drama...
-Traia : Don't worry about it. I'm sure the higher-ups are already talking to each other about that.
-Traia: Showing up to crash their party is just for show. But… The CEO wants you to actually beat their new model.
-Traia: I asked him for more funding for the blaster's development, and this was the condition.
-Traia: But If you think about it, it's a great opportunity to show off the Blaster's power.
-Crowe : So in other words your just like that moron.
-Traia : Don't worry about it. I'll handle any cleanup, you just go and win
-Crowe : No matter how hard I try, I'm forced to play the villain. Heh. I bet you dont even care
-Traia : If you don't want to do it, I'll have to charge you a penalty…
-Crowe : Yeah I know. Crime is against my principles.
-Crowe: But in this case it's the fox and the tanuki messing around. So ill try not to worry about it.
-Traia : Forgive me for being blunt, but you don't like the military, do you?
-Crowe : I dont like it, but I dont hate it. I think the world needs it.
-Crowe: I just didn't fit in with their way of doing things so I quit.
-Traia : The AEU, the Britannia Union, and the Human Reform League are all on edge.
-Traia: On top of that we've got people like the WLF causing chaos.
-Crowe : But the WLF has been on a roll lately. They've been hitting places all over the world right?
-Traia : Maybe they got a big sponsor. But are people like them really capable of changing the world?
-Crowe : Those guys who were just knocking on your door the other day, they're probably just drunk on the idea of word revolution.
-Crowe: I'm sure there's plenty of people who feel suffocated by the state of world right now to the point where they'd feel like that.
-Traia : Then there's that mystery mobile suit from the other day that helped us. Maybe it was built by some rebel group.
-Crowe : If they're building such a high-performance machine, they're have to be very serious about whatever they're doing.
-Traia : This is the world we live in. All it takes is someone to light a small fire somewhere, and the whole world will be ablaze with discontent.
-Crowe : It's been that way since the Great Dimension Quake 20 years ago.
-Traia : It changed the world and the people in it. I'm sure the world will continue to change.
-Crowe : South Africa is still inaccessible because of its distorted dimensional boundaries.
-Traia : The so-called Dark Continent. There's a theory that that's where the Dimension Monsters live.
-Crowe : Oh, man… I'm a DM Buster, I'm supposed to be a hero.
-Traia : I would have ignored these orders if I could have. But he just asked me "can your machine not handle it"? And that got me fired up.
-Traia: Which is why If you screw this up Crowe, I'm not gonna let you live it down.
-Crowe : I don't like losing either. And don't forget about the reward.
-Traia : Your reward this time is 30,000 Gs, plus 20,000 Gs if you can bring back blaster unharmed.
-Crowe : OK. Let's go get 50,000 G's.
Chapter 2 : Changing World
-Patrick : Perfect Score! As expected of Mr Special!
-Billy : The Enact. The AEU's first mobile suit that runs on solar energry.
-Graham : The AEU is lagging in the developtment of its orbital elevator. They I'm sure theyd like to at least make their mobile suits state of the art.
-Billy : Is it all right for you, the ace of MSWAD, to be seen here?
-Graham : Of course not.
-Graham: In northern Africa, the Republic of Gizan, a member of the Britannia Union, and Marania, recieving support from the AEU.
-Graham: There's small conflicts between them breaking out every day.
-Zechs : But that is just between Gizan and Malania. Brittania and the AEU are not going to war.
-Billy : You are…
-Zechs : Lieutenant Graham Aker and Advisor Billy Katagiri of Brittania. I am Senior Lieutenant Zechs Merquise.
-Zechs: Thank you very much for coming to the presentation of the new AEU model today.
-Graham : So you're the Lightning Baron of OZ. I've heard rumors about you.
-Zechs : So you're familiar with my nickname. May I join you?
-Graham : We don't mind, but are you sure? This is the guest section.
-Zechs : This unveiling is not under my jurisdiction, so I am purely a spectator today.
-Billy : (I see. So that mobile suit wasn't made by the Romerfeller Foundation.)
-Zechs : So What do you think of the new model?
-Graham : I wouldn't dare say anything rash in front of the senior lieutenant.
-Graham: So ill just say that the exteriror design is at least original.
-Patrick : You there! I can hear you! Want to say that again?!
-Graham : Well at least it has a good sound system
-Billy : Seems that way.
-Crowe : (Well color me impressed Blaster. I didn't realize you were so stealthy.)
-Crowe: (Now that their demonstration seems to be over, its time for the hero to make his entrance.)
-Crowe: (I don't need a fancy costume or a cape, but I would have liked to have at least worn a mask)
-Crowe: Something's coming from above!? You mean I couldnt detect it till it got this close?
-Setsuna : Exia, confirming target location. Cease dispersal of GN particles upon arrival at target location.
-Patrick : Huh? An unknown!? Why now of all times!
-Billy : Another Mobile suit!? I didnt know you had another new model.
-Zechs : No! We never planned for a machine like that to show up!
-Zechs: How did it get this close without being detected!?
-Graham : That mobile suit is emitting some sort of light, what is it?
-Setsuna : Target confirmed. Beginning first phase as planned.
-Patrick : Hey who the hell are you!? Union!? Human Reform League!?
-Patrick: Well either way you stormed in here uninvited, there's no way you're getting away with this!
-Graham : The Enact pilot is going to fight!?
-Zechs : Patrick Colasour. He's an ace in the military, but…
-Crowe : (What the hell is that thing that came down from the sky? Does it want the same thing as me?)
-Crowe: (Either way, I've completely missed my chance to crash the party!)
-Setsuna : ....
-Patrick : Hey you! Do you have any idea who I am!? I’m AEU's Patrick Colasour! I'm Mr Special and I've never lost a single mock battle! I wont take any "I didnt know" nonsense!
-Setsuna : Exia, proceeding to eliminate target.
BATTLE START
(-Setsuna attacks -Patrick)
-Setsuna : There is no God in this world. That's why I…
(-Patrick defeated)
-Patrick : You bastard you dont get it!
-Setsuna: ....
-Patrick: I’m! Special! Ive done 2000 of these! mock battles!
-Zechs : Ensign Colasour!
-Graham : The words carved into the forehead of that machine.
-Graham: GUNDAM! Is that the name of that mobile suit!?
-Billy : Gundam…
-Setsuna : Exia, first phase complete. Moving onto second phase.
- Exia moves, Crowe appears*
-Setsuna: What!?
-Crowe : My stealth systems been disabled! Is it because of the strange particles the mobile suit is emitting!?
-Setsuna : As we thought, AEU's even stationed military forces in the pillar, which is supposed to be unarmed.
-AEU Soldier : Do you hear me, terrorist! Disarm yourself and surrender!
-Crowe : This is bad. No matter how you look at it, they'll think I'm with them.
-AEU Soldier : Long-range fire!? From where!?'
-Lockon : Hahaha, Even Setsuna would have trouble with this.
-Lockon: So, what's that white machine? Is that another new AEU model?
-Setsuna : Apparently not.
-AEU Soldier : All units, commence attack! Don't let them get away!
-Crowe : There's no talking my way out of this. I've got to fight!
-Lockon : Setsuna! Leave that machine over there alone! First, we'll hit the AEU as planned!
-Setsuna : Continuing with second phase.
-Haro : Lockon, enemy machine approach, enemy machine approach.
-Lockon : Then it's time to aim and fire, it's the first battle of Gundam Dynames and Lockon Stratos!
(-Lockon fights AEU)
-Lockon: It's about time the space team made their move. We're counting on you, Allelujah, Tieria.
-Haro: Lockon! Enemies approaching! Lockon! Enemies approaching!
-Lockon: I know. Dynames, sniping the target!
(-Crowe fights AEU)
-Crowe : I don't know about these guys, but I hope things aren't always gonna be this crazy.
-Crowe: Guess I drew the short straw. Maybe I should have gone back to the military...
(-Duo arrives turn 2)
-Crowe : Another intruder!
-Lockon : Look, Setsuna!
-Setsuna : That’s also… a Gundam!?
-Duo : Hehe… I came here to scout the AEU and found an interesting place.
-Duo: And on top of that, thanks to those guys over there, we found out The AEU's got forces that violate the treaty. I guess I'll help them out as thanks.
-Crowe : He's like the silent helper from last time, but this guy… Is it an AEU machine?
-Crowe: Huh an open channel communication? From that black mobile suit.
-Lockon : I can't believe they're able to use transmissions while we're emitting a high concentrations of GN particles. Who is that guy?
-Duo : Can you guys hear me? I'll cover you for.
-Crowe : Who the hell are you?
-Duo : As you can see, I'm the three major nations Grim Reaper.
-Crowe : The three major nations… AEU, Britannia Union, and Human Reform League are your enemies?
-Duo : Yep. Now let's get the AEU guys out of here.
-Setsuna:.....
-Lockon : So we're on the same side for now. I think I'll let him tag along for the ride.
-Crowe : As for me, I don't care what it takes to get out of this mess. Let's go, Reaper.
-Duo : Gotcha. Let's go, Partner. Die... Anyone who sees me will die!
(-Duo fights AEU)
-Duo : (The AEU is one of the three superpowers controlling the Colonies.)
-Duo: (But they're being manipulated from the shadows. My real mission is to take down whoevers doing that.
-Duo: (Lucky for me those mysterious Mobile Suits have already done some digging for me. Hope they don't mind if I help myself.)
(Enemies defeated)
-Duo : That's the last of them. Let's get out of here before the reinforcements arrive.
-Setsuna: ...
-Duo: Hey, don't tell me you want to kill me now? I don't want to fight you, you know?!
-Lockon : Stop, -Setsuna. As long as we don't know who they are, we shouldnt make any moves now.
-Lockon: We completed the mission so we're leaving.
-Setsuna : Understood.
-Crowe : Now that they've gone all my systems are back online…
-Duo : Okay, well, I'm gonna…
-Crowe : Wait. Who the hell are you and who the hell are they?
-Duo : It's safer if you dont know. See you.
-Crowe : Ugh… At this rate I'm going to be the one held responsible for this. Time to get out before that happens.
-Billy : What was that group…
-Graham : They were fighting together, but they don't seem to belong to the same organization.
-Graham: The first machines goal was probably to give us a warning.
-Billy : What do you mean?
-Graham : It shot down our new model and exposed the extra forces stationed in the space evelator at the same time.
-Graham: They were showing the world that the AEU has violated the treaty
-Billy : Why would they do that?
-Graham : Heh… Ask the pilot of that Gundam.
-Zechs : Gundam… So that's the name of that machine…
-Otto : Captain Zechs, we have an emergency. The Human Reform League's high orbit station has been attacked by terrorists.
-Zechs : What!?
-Otto : It has been reported that the terrorists were defeated by a mobile suit of unknown affiliation.
-Graham : Unknown mobile suits appearing both in space and on Earth…
-Zechs : What is going on…
NEXT SCENE Space Battle Map
-Tieria : Virtue, target destroyed. Third phase complete.
-Allelujah : Miss Sumeragi's forecast was spot on. I can't believe she was able to precict everything the terrorists would do and plan around it.
-Tieria : We're leaving Allelujah Haptism. We shouldn't stay longer than needed.
-Allelujah : Understood. Now we just have to see how the world reacts…
-Sergei : What were those mobile suits? They Showed up out of nowhere and fighting off those terrorists.
(Northern Africa continent)
(Axion Foundation Transport Aircraft, Cockpit)
-Crowe : What's going on, Chief? Were they there to crash the exhabition like I was?
-Traia : I think they were real attackers, not just there for show like us.
-Crowe : The self-proclaimed Reaper looked similar to the mystery suit that helped us out before.
-Traia : I've been reviewing the data you sent me, and it seems the long range sniper, and the one that destroyed the AEU's new model use the same technology.
-Crowe : That green light…
-Traia : My best guess is that theyre being emitted by the suits engines.
-Crowe : Their output was insane. It was unlike any mobile suit I'd ever seen.
-Traia : It would also seem that the mobile suits that destroyed the terrorists who attacked the Human Reform League space station used that technology too
-Crowe : Where'd you get that intel from?
-Traia : It's one of the few perks of working for that moron, and it's what he owes me for abusing my blaster for his own problems.
-Crowe : Saying stuff like that… That moron is your employer, isn't he?
-Traia : Yeah, he is. But there's a kind of fate in all of this you see.
-Traia: The Reaper, like you guessed, seems to be using the same kind of technology as our mystery helper.
-Traia: Theyre using different techology, but theyre still leagues above normal machines.
-Crowe : A group of people with that level technology attacked the AEU…
-Traia : This could be a major spark…
-Traia: Crowe! Look at the news!
-Crowe : What's wrong? Suddenly shouting like that…
-Traia : It's the latest update on the attack on the station! The broadcasting office received a video message from the group that defeated the terrorists!
-Traia: They're going to air it uncensored!
-Crowe : This is serious… My instincts are telling me something big's about to happen…
NEXT SCENE Newscast
-Aeolia : This is an announcement for all of the mankind.
-Aeolia : We are Celestal Being. We are the paramilitary organization which possesses the mobile type weapon Gundam.
-Aeolia : Our goal is to eradicate every act of war in this world.
-Aeolia : We are not acting to make any profit. We have decided to stand for the greater goal of eradicating war.
-Aeolia : Now, we have a proclamation for all humankind.
-Aeolia : Political parties, religion, energy, no matter the reason, we will do all that is in our power to intervene against all acts of war.
-Aeolia : Countries which indulge in war, organizations, enterprises and others will be faced with our armed intervention. We are a paramilitary organization created to eradicate war from this world.
-Aeolia : We are Celestal being.
NEXT SCENE Area 11 - Tokyo Concession
-Saji : Celestial Being…
-Louise : What is he saying?
NEXT SCENE Ashford Academy / Student Council Room
-Lelouch : Ending war to change the world…
-Rivalz : What's that!? Is this a declaration of war on the whole world!?
-Milly : Calm down, Rivalz. A private armed group is like a terrorist group, isn't it.
-Shirley : That's right. If the army gets serious, they'll beat them in no time.
-Rivalz : But… They killed the terrorists who attacked the Human Reform League, didn't they?
-Shirley : Maybe they’re allies of justice?
-Milly : Well, that's a rough way to put it.
-Lelouch : But if they have the power to do that much…
-Shirley : Lulu…?
-Lelouch : (And if they bring down Britannia. No… What's the point of relying on others. It means nothing If I dont achieve it with my own hands.
-Lelouch: (To do so requires power. Celestial Being… Do you guys the power to change the world)
(Northern Africa continent)
-Duo : (Celestal Being... It really surprised me to see that they had Gundams as well !)
-Duo : (Celestial Being… I'm surprised they're using Gundams as well)
-Duo: (And it seems that unlike us they're a proper organisation)
-Duo: (The problem is that we fall under their definition of groups that are involved in or promote war)
-Duo: (We fought together in the confusion today, but if I continue to carry out my duties, I'm sure I'll be fighting them sooner or later)
-Duo: (Well, that's the way it goes. There's no point worrying about the future now)
-Duo: I'll fight whoever I have to, to free the colonies.
(AEU, France, Paris, OZ headquarters)
(Office of the OZ leader)
-Treize : Celestial Being…
-Zechs : What do you think?
-Treize : We'll need to do some more research before I can say for sure. But if they have the power to make their ideals a reality…
-Zechs:...
-Treize: As for me, I am also curious about the existence of that other Gundam, although it has been camoflauged by Celestial being.
-Zechs : So that one is also called a Gundam?
-Treize : We've already received reports from the field. Judging from the battle data, it seems that the armor of that black machine is made of Gundanium alloy.
-Zechs : Gundanium?
-Treize : It's an alloy that can only be refined in space.
-Zechs : Then that mobile suit!?
-Treize : Yes… I think it's reasonable to assume that it was built by the colonists. And that combat power… It's on par with Celestial Being's Gundam.
-Zechs : Neither the AEU's regular forces, nor their new Enact, are going to be able to compete with them.
-Treize : Exactly. But I believe you can do it. Can you do it, Zechs?
-Zechs : As you command.
-Treize : The AEU, Britannia, and Human Reform League will each move against Celestial Being. In the meantime, we in OZ will pursue the colony's Gundam.
-Zechs : Understood. Then we'll continue our mission.
-Treize : Good luck.
-Treize: "As you command" that’s not good, Zechs…
-Lady : -Treize… Wouldn't the existence of Celestial Being, be an obstacle for OZ?
-Treize : Perhaps… But I wont be able to hate them if they do what they've said they'll do.
-Lady : What do you mean?
-Treize : No… Forget it, Lady. For now, we'll just have to wait and see what they do.
-Treize: I'm trying to change this world, because I want the same thing.

(Ptolemaios bridge)
-Sumeragi : So it's begun.
-Chris : Sumeragi are you drinking!?
-Sumeragi : Don't be so strict. I've already done my job as a tactical forecaster. Besides, this is a celebration. Congratulations on the successful unveiling of Celestial Being.
-Lasse : Well that was the first step. Our goal is endlessly distant, though.
-Lichty : Well… Let's just take it slow. There's no turning back now.
-Feldt: ....
-Allelujah : HAllelujah, I can see the malice in the world…
-Tieria : Humanity is being tested. By Celestial Being.
-Sumeragi : Even if we're the bad guys
-Allelujah : I understand.
-Sumeragi : We're moving on to the next phase of the mission. Allelujah, Tieria you're going down to Earth.
-Allelujah : Understood.
-Tieria : Veda approved of the mission. I have no objections.
-Sumeragi : This will change the world. No, we’ll change it…
NEXT SCENE African Continent
-Lockon : It is the beginning… We've done it! We can't stop now.

-Setsuna : I know.
-Setsuna: We are Celestial Being's Gundam Meisters.
