                          Version 1.0 11/22/92

(Gato, screaming in anger, punches a hole in the Gwaden's bridge with
his Neue Ziel!)

        TITLE
The Storm That Runs Through

(Sinapus gets new orders from Basque Ohm.)

        SINAPUS
What the hell!? Did you say protect the Solar System with THEM?

        BASQUE OHM
That's right. As of now, the Cima Fleet is cooperating with us.

        SINAPUS
This is just like a military dictatorship!

        BASQUE OHM
You dare defy the order?

(Uraki hears this same news...)

        SCOTT
Lt. Uraki, you can't catch up with Gato from that position. Please
retreat immediately!

        KOU
What did Lt. Burning die for? And Kelley as well!

(Uraki kicks in the thrusters of the slightly damaged Dendrobium.)

        SCOTT
Lt. Uraki, where are you going?

(Meanwhile, Gato blasts towards the Solar System, the only thing
standing in the way against his mission's success.)

        GATO
210 more minutes. I won't let those mirrors...

        BRIDGE OPERATOR
Enemy mobile armor approaching. Distance 12000!

        BASQUE OHM
Damn that Cima, she blew it! Buy us time until the firing of the Solar
System!

(The Federation ships open fire at the approaching MA. Meanwhile, leaves
the Gwaden on her new MS, the Gerbera Tetra. Quite naturally, she's
pissed at Gato for ruining her plans and almost killing her by
decompressing the bridge.)

        CIMA
You'll pay for ruining my gamble!

(Cima fires at the Gwaden's rear hangar, triggering a series of
explosions which envelop the Gwaden. While all hell breaks out in front
of the mirror array, the control ship staff make final preparations for
firing.)

        OPERATOR 1
81 percent completed. We're behind schedule!

        OPERATOR 2
F1, F5 and F6. Focusing standby.

        OPERATOR 3
L15, hurry the array check!

(Gato rockets towards the mirrors.)

        GATO
Damn... if I can just destroy the control ship....

(Cima approaches her flagship, the Lili Marleen.)

        CIMA
Don't light the guide beacon! Do you want to get killed or what?

        CIMA
The sensors! Above!

(A bolt of light from 12 o'clock high strikes the Lili Marleen,
destroying it.)

        CIMA
I knew it.

(A crazed Kou heads for the Cima Fleet vessels protecting the
Solar System.)

        SCOTT
Lt. Uraki, the Solar System will fire at any moment! Lt. Uraki!

(Gato, meanwhile, is cutting down some Fed ships.)

        GATO
Get out of my way!

(Basque Ohm's ship. He's worried about the rampaging Neue Ziel.)

        BRIDGE OPERATOR
Distance to space colony: 4000. 70 seconds till firing of the Solar
System.

        BASQUE OHM
We can see the colony with our eyes. We've waited long enough! Fire!

        BASQUE OHM'S STAFF
But we have to wait 30 seconds more...

        BASQUE OHM
I don't care! Just do it!

(Gato makes contact with the mirror surface, and begins to search for
the control ship.)

        GATO
Huh? That's the one?

(The mirrors align and fire a bolt of pure light towards the falling
colony. Gato levels the Neue Ziel's beam guns on the control ship and
fires!)

        GATO
God help us!

(The colony is enveloped in light and smoke. The control ship, however,
explodes.)

        BRIDGE OPERATOR
Colonel! The control ship!

        BASQUE OHM
What!?

(The colony appears from behind billows of smoke. It is now directly in
front of the mirrors and the defending ships, both Federation's and Cima
Fleet's.)

        BASQUE OHM
It survived...

        BASQUE OHM
What are you doing? Evasive! Evasive now!

        SHIP CAPTAIN
Turn away. Turn away!

(Ships collide in space, and the colony pushes through the array,
scattering the pieces.)

        GATO
No one can stop it now.

(Gato smiles briefly.)

        GATO
All that's left...

(Albion)

        SIMMONE
The colony has entered its final deceleration course. 151 minutes before
collision.

        SINAPUS
What's Uraki doing? He still hasn't returned?

        MORA
Captain! Nina went out from the closed port deck!

        SINAPUS
What?

(Nina flies the Core Fighter into the colony.)

        KEITH
Nina? Is she headed for the colony?

(Kou drops in on his friends from Cima Fleet.)

        URAKI
You bastards!

        GELGOOG PILOT
Madame Cima! Please retreat!

        CIMA
Where the hell can we retreat to?

        CIMA
Explosion Inducement Chain! He stopped moving?!

(Kou destroys a ship using the Chain.)

        CIMA
You bastard, whose side are you on?

(Cima rains bullets on the Dendrobium, but Kou slams his cannon
into the Gerbera Tetra.)
        CIMA
WHAT?

(Cima's capsule experiences decompression. Cima is dying, but
Kou decides to blast her to molecules anyway. When Cima is space
dust, Kou remembers his archrival...)

        KOU
Gato!

(Gato has docked the Neue Ziel outside the colony. Now, inside the colony's
control room, he sets the program to adjust the colony's trajectory.)

        GATO
With the success of this operation, there will be those who will follow
in our path.

        GATO
Nina Purpleton.

        NINA
Please, Gato. Isn't this enough? Please stop it!

        GATO
It's not over yet! I will complete Stardust.

        NINA
This colony will definitely fall on Earth. It doesn't have to fall on
Jaburo.

        GATO
We're NOT dropping it on Jaburo. You can't understand.

        NINA
Why? Why did you appear before me again? After suddenly disappearing
that day....

        GATO
I wanted you to forget everything (about those days)... when I stayed on
the moon, anxiously waiting for the time to come.

        NINA
I tried to forget everything! No, I had forgotten them!

        GATO
I have devoted my body and soul to the resurrection of Jion. You might
be the true witness of Stardust.

(Nina finds Gato's gun and threatens to shoot. A shot is fired, however,
by someone else -- Kou, who has entered the control room as well. Gato
still manages to pull the lever, activating the program.)

        NINA
Gato! Hang on!

        KOU
Nina!

        NINA
Please stop, Kou. There's no longer any reason for you to fight.

        KOU
Get away from him! Don't you know what he's done?

        NINA
I had to witness the battle between the two of you, until one of you
would die... that's why I was praying that things don't end like this!

        KOU
Nina, were you lying about your feelings for me? Tell me!

        NINA
That's not true...

        NINA
Gato!

(Gato pushes Nina aside and stands erect before Kou. Kou's gun remains
pointed at Gato, but Nina suddenly points hers at Kou.)

        NINA
Kou, please stop.

        KOU
Nina... This can't be real. Nina! He dropped the colony. He stole Gundam
Unit 2!

        NINA
Kou, it's not about those things...

        KOU
Nina, come back! Please come to me!

(Nina and Gato disappear behind a door.)

AXIS ADVANCE FLEET

        OPERATOR
Rescuing soldiers is the first priority! Step up the retrieval
operation! Abandon units that have been damaged severely.

        AXIS BRIDGE OFFICER
The colony has completed the final course adjustment. It's perfect, sir.

        HUSTLER
Delaz, the Stardust has been born. You made it...

        JION CREW
Commander. The Federation pursuit fleet from the moon has arrived.

        KONPEI BASE COMMANDER (Pursuit Fleet Commander)
Inform them (Basque Ohm's Fleet) of the retreat time in the agreement
again, to attack the Axis Fleet as soon as the duration of their stay
expires.

(Nina patches Gato's uniform.)

        GATO
I have a rough idea of what happened between you and him. If that's the
case, I want you to leave me even more.

        NINA
At any rate, I had no choice but to do this.

        GATO
Nina... I'm sorry.

(Gato punches Nina, who loses consciousness. The Neue Ziel then leaves
the colony clutching the Core Fighter's escape hatch.)

        KARIUS
Commander, we'll be attacked from both sides by the enemy from the moon.
Please escape with us. We don't have time!

        GATO
Karius...

(Kou's Dendrobium Stamen exits the colony.)

        SCOTT
Lt. Uraki. The colony has begun to disintegrate. Please escape quickly.
Can you hear me? We did our best.

        URAKI
This is Uraki. I just left the colony.

        SCOTT
Lieutenant, you're safe! Please join with the Albion immediately.

        KOU
W - WHAT?

(Outside, the Neue Ziel awaits Kou Uraki.)

        SCOTT
The Albion's at point 771, 8000 behind the colony. We can't keep up any
more. Please hurry!

        GATO
If you weren't a part of the rotten Federation, there's no need for you
to go through all this anguish...

(Kou activates his weapons system.)

        SCOTT
Lieutenant, what's wrong? Lieutenant!

        KOU
He's been waiting... FOR ME?

(Several Rick Dom mobile suits, led by Karius, head for the Axis
forces. Karius's suit is clutching the pod where Nina is.)

        KARIUS
Why does she have to go through all this? That light!

(Basque Ohm has partially rebuilt the mirror array with less than 50
percent of the original surface area.)

        OPERATOR
The enemy mobile armor is currently circling the Earth orbit and will
soon appear from the other side of Earth.

        OPERATOR
Due to the loss of the control ship, the efficiency of the second blast
will be under 25 percent.

        BASQUE OHM'S STAFF
Colonel. The enemy seems to be engaged in a battle with Gundam Unit 3...

        BASQUE OHM
Shut up! I won't be able to contain myself until I blast 'em!

(The battle between the Delaz Fleet and the Federation ships continue.)

        SCOTT
Engine output has dropped! And the second propellant tank won't open.
Direct hit to starboard. Main cannon is down!

        SIMMONE
Battle speed reduced to 25.

        SINAPUS
We paid a heavy price... We've gone as far as we can go. Retreat from
the battle zone!

(Kou and Gato dogfight. Gato drops the NZ's fuel tanks, turns, and
severs the Dendrobium's right arm with a beam blast. Kou activates
the left arm's beam saber, but Gato wrestles it with his NZ's right
arm [the only one left].)

        GATO
You don't have any weapons left!

(The arm's control line is cut.)

        KOU
Behind?

        GATO
Too slow!

(Four small, grappling arms pop out of the NZ! Gato drops over the
Dendrobium and the grappling arms quickly embrace the Dendrobium's
torso, preventing MS/armed base separation.)

        GATO
What next? You can't even separate.

(The Solar System begins to fire...)

        KOU
What the...

        BASQUE OHM'S STAFF
Please wait! Our advance fleet is right in front of the target! Colonel!

(Kou and Gato are enveloped by white light.)

(On Jaburo, site of the Federation's headquarters, two soldiers are
escorting General Kowen, possibly to a military prison or a similar
facility.)

        FEDERATION OFFICER
Hey, the evacuation's been cancelled.

        FEDERATION SOLDIER
The colony won't fall here!

        FEDERATION SOLDIER
What's that?

(The glowing colony passes over Jaburo.)

        KOWEN
This incident will change history...

(space)

        KOU
Gato... He left without finishing me off...

(Axis Advance Fleet; main ship.)

        OPERATOR
Walfisch! Do you read me? Walfisch!

        OPERATOR
Commander Gato, we don't have time.

(Hustler approaches the weeping Nina.)

        HUSTLER
You're Nina, aren't you? Look.

        NINA
The colony... is falling on Earth.

        HUSTLER
That's the shining light from the souls of men.

(Gato, in a partially burned Neue Ziel, leads the Delaz Fleet survivors
to where Axis forces can pick them up. A large Federation contingent,
however, is in the way.)

        GATO
Come on, let's go.

        BASQUE OHM'S STAFF
Remaining units of the Delaz Fleet, listen. You have nowhere to return
now. Please surrender at once. We know that you no longer have any
combat potential. There is no need to throw away your lives.

        GATO
Understand? Break through and join the Axis Fleet, even if only one of
us makes it. So that you can tell the truth about our fight to future
generations!

        BASQUE OHM'S STAFF (To Axis forces)
The duration of your fleet's stay has expired. Leave at once! Or do you
wish to engage in battle with us?

        HUSTLER
We'll conclude our retrieval operation.

        NINA
Five more minutes. Please wait five more minutes!

        HUSTLER
Change heading. Set course for Axis.

        HUSTLER
I want you to make a free choice.

        NINA
I BEG YOU!

(Gato leads the charge against the Federation blockade. Despite his
injury and the damage to the Neue Ziel, he destroys several ships. In
one final act of defiance, he slams his mobile armor into a ship,
destroying it and the Neue Ziel, along with himself. From the main
Axis ship, a small vessel leaves for Earth.)

(Kou's trial [for disobeying orders/stealing Unit 3])

        FEDERATION PROSECUTOR
Keeping quiet won't do you any good! Answer me! Are you deaf?

        FEDERATION JUDGE
Lt. Junior Grade Kou Uraki, one year in prison.

(On the same day as Lt  Uraki's trial, Captain E Sinapus was sentenced
to death, according to the LD liner notes.)

        BASQUE OHM
Look back. Those optimists who dreamed about the establishment of the
Earth Sphere... have caused this incident! The Delaz Fleet is just an
example. You don't need to look at the colony fall accident, which
inflicted severe damage to the granary of North America three days ago,
to realize that our Earth is constantly exposed to various dangers.

(Images flash... Anaheim's vice-CEO commits supposedly suicide...
the Albion bridge crew join the Titans...)

        BASQUE OHM
Earth, symbol of the Universe, we are born to protect her! Earth! In
order to return her true power... to those who truly deserve it, the
Titans will stand!

        TEXT
The Gundam Development Plan under the supervision of General Kowen was
removed from all records.

        TEXT
Gundam GP01-fb
       GP02A
       GP03S
Deleted from all records.

        TEXT
Consequently, Kou Uraki's criminal record was erased as well.

(Three months after his trial, Kou is reassigned to the Federation Oakly
[Oakley?] Base in Kansas, North America.)

        KOU
Gato...

(Kou sees a Gelgoog used by the Federation for testing. The Gelgoog
flashes a "peace" sign.)

        KOU
Keith!

(Kou spots a jeep with Mora and Nina.)

        KOU
Nina...

        ENDING SONG
EVERGREEN (LONG VERSION)

Alone in the deep darkness,
You lose your way to the night
Continuing to search for
the memory of a shining dawn.
Sometimes, destiny is
a wind that tests the heart
Love is the sky that covers everything.
Showing the vision of tomorrow.

DREAMER.
Burning heartbeats
That's what we have to bring back.

DREAMER.
The frozen dream
Is beginning to shine again.

EVERGREEN.

The arms that are empty now are endlessly looking
for someone you can share your life with.

DREAMER
What we need to do is to overcome
The burden of the time.

DREAMER
And breath new life
To the frozen dream.

EVERGREEN

DREAMER.
Burning heartbeats
That's what we have to bring back.

DREAMER
What we need to do is to overcome
The burden of the time.
