Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt: Bandit Flower

---

1

Human life is a miracle.

What about other animals?

Would a bird give up its wings to dive in the ocean?

Would a turtle give up its shell to fly into the skies?

Would a peacock give up its patterns... for stripes?

Things like that don't happen.

But... humans are different.

They can continue to innovate.

I am...

Lucky.

I'm not finished here!

You're just a fast crab!

That's eight.

Is it burning? A Baoa Qu...

Ensign Billy! Enemies keep landing.

And the Flanagan Agency...

Everyone's still there. It's a Baoa Qu!

Lt. Creed, Special Service MS eliminated.

Can't confirm other enemies.

The loading entrance is just ahead.

Please give us the order to continue.

Are reports only coming through wire communications?

Forget the code verification.

Shoot!

Yes, sir.

Open all hatches.

Roger.

Go!

How can they be so blind to the situation until the very end?

The Federation special forces are...

...excellent, aren't they?

Yes, Captain Monica.

I don't care about taking out the Zabi dictator.

There is something else we must take.

Daryl, you okay? The control stick is different. Don't overdo it!

Io!

Cornelius, got any tissues?

We've successfully secured our target.

The Federation has the psycommu.

Altitude 1,600. Tracing the Princes Highway.

So this is Sydney... I've only seen it on TV.

It's like the Blue Mountains. Even this

wasn't enough to thwart the Federation.

Even after all this?

The war of independence is still on.

But... Zeon became a republic after it lost.

Enemy planes!

Federation transport planes. Did they see us?

Zeon patrol plane sighted above! Signal flares confirmed!

All machines, prepare to intercept! Ready core fighters!

Zeon remnant forces?

Damn rebels won't obey the ceasefire!

Deploy core fighters!

This is Lt. Barclay. Your pleasant flight's over.

Show me what you learned in training!

It's so hot. And damn humid too.

And it's bright. The colonies were more comfortable.

The ocean, snow, desert, and grass are all real. Earth really is beautiful.

Daryl, make sure you wash your feet! Seawater will make things rust!

To the former Living Dead Division, you're a savior.

This emblem shows that we, the maintenance team, vow to be of use to you.

Please accept it.

Thank you.

This too, sir.

I'll cherish it.

That guy is Ensign Daryl Lorenz.

A survivor of the Thunderbolt Sector.

I know.

He got prosthetics just so he could pilot the Psycho Zaku.

No one can match his level of

self-sacrifice... and patriotism.

He's a true ace pilot. I admire him.

Ensign Billy, easy on the cigarettes. They're unhealthy.

The Earth is a big place. It won't matter if I pollute it a little, Sebastian.

Don't step on the coral.

Hey, is it hard to do maintenance in gravity?

Huh?

Uhh...

Bianca C-Ca...

Bianca Carlyle.

Carlyle.

I guess. When there's gravity, it's hard to move.

Like going up and down ladders.

You're the Guncannon Aqua's...

You're a Thunderbolt Sector survivor, right?

I wanted to see the famous Gundam.

I see.

Around that time, I was fighting at Confeito.

Were you in a GM then?

RGM-79.

In Operation Star One, too.

Io used that one at first as well.

Io? The Gundam pilot?

Yes. I wish he was here for this operation.

Don't worry. I'm here.

Huh?

Although it's my first time on Earth.

That's reassuring. I'm counting on you.

Got it.

Begin thrust reverse!

Brace for reverse-acceleration defense!

Attitude control is good!

Switch to cruising flight mode!

Ow!

I hit my elbow...

We're mid-operation!

But we can move already.

That's not the issue.

It'll be fine.

Listen to me!

It's the ocean!

Order a sortie already! Whatever the enemy is, I'll crush them!

Starting planned orbital path.

Comms with mothership will be cut in 30 seconds.

We wish you luck,

Petty Officers Julio and Gregory.

Execute the kamikaze attack, proud elite soldiers of Zeon.

The last smoke tastes so good.

Here comes the anti-air fire!

All right! It's our victory!

Anti-air defense! Shoot them with SAMs!

They're descending! We can't lock on to them!

Just shoot at random!

Beginning evasive maneuvers!

Just do it already!

Damn it! Death to whoever came up with this tactic!

Death to both the Federation and Zeon!

What's that?

What the hell attacked us?

A Gundam!

That's the new model?

RX-78AL.

That will definitely be the key to this operation.

Don't you think so?

Wow... he has good taste.

Jazz...

This is Ensign Io Fleming and the Atlas Gundam arriving.

The enemy's target is either Asia or Africa.

Those Federation swine.

You'll share our pain.

Bianca!

You're jealous of the new Gundam, huh?

Not really. There are fakes with just the head, so their value's gone down.

My Guncannon Aqua is much more useful in combat.

But the new model has new joints.

They're like ones on Zeon amphibious suits, right?

Oh, kind of.

That's him with that jazz, right?

Yeah.

Ensign Io Fleming, thank you for protecting the Spartan.

Honored to, Cpt. Monica Humphrey,

Joint Chiefs' 3rd bureau deputy director.

It's due to the Atlas's performance.

The Moore Brotherhood invested a lot into its development. Use it well.

Say something!

It's fine.

I'll have a briefing on the next mission.

Yes!

A Moore Brotherhood funded Gundam...

I can't stand his elite face.

He's such a showoff.

We'll let that idiot fight out front. Sounds good, right?

Io!

Yo, partner!

I heard your jazz.

Would you take a look at this?

It came apart during the battle.

You're still using the same one?

Any other just wouldn't feel right.

I'll examine the cockpit later.

Can you check the seat, too?

My back gets hot around here.

Really? I'll look into it for you.

Also, the railgun got worn out, so I tossed it.

You just threw it away!

It wore out after one shot.

He thinks he's a hero... He's just a coward who

used kids as shields in the Thunderbolt Sector.

Don't worry. He'll face judgment one day.

So I had to save you...

Okay, okay. I get it.

I'm serious man.

Eight months after the One Year War,

Zeon remnant forces continue their schemes.

It is the duty of the Federation Forces to resolve this postwar turmoil.

However, a faction in our Federation, the South Seas Alliance,

is plotting its independence and building its forces.

The South Seas Alliance fought alongside us.

They've obtained something that's a great threat to us.

I'd say Ensign Io is the only one here who truly knows this machine.

It destroyed the Moore Brotherhood's

Beehive, three Salamis cruisers...

even a Full Armor Gundam.

It's one of Zeon's experimental machines.

It's now in the hands of a cult

called the South Seas Alliance.

A mobile suit with maximized speed by

connecting to the nerves of the pilot's limbs.

To utilize this machine,

the Zeon forces used disabled vets.

The cult's followers would

sever their limbs for their beliefs.

Before that happens, in order to seize or destroy that machine,

we brought in the Atlas Gundam.

When we recover the Psycho Zaku, will they cut off everyone's limbs?
