p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"Dukovak observes Manfred's expression and senses that something is not right, so he decides to talk to him./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Manfred, what happened?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: ... I killed.../span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: We both know this was going to be difficult. Let's have a drink to help you forget what happened./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: ...children.../span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred starts sobbing./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak, incredulous, asks him./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: How do you know? With the Human Debris Treaty, that would be impossible./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: Ask that kid over there./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred, tearfully, says to him:/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: It could have been us, Dukovak. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Yes, I understand./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak looks at the new prisoner, who is a child, and realizes the seriousness of Manfred's problem. Yamazin approaches and asks:/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: Is Manfred okay?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: What do you think? He just killed children./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: How do you know?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Look at that prisoner over there./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: Damn it./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak approaches the young prisoner and asks:/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: What's your name?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Orphan: I'm Simon./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: How old are you?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Simon: Thirteen, and why does it matter to you?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: It matters to me because you're still a kid. Tell me, do you have siblings?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Simon: Why does that matter to you? Anyway, I already have a new owner./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: No, no, no, Simon, you've just been freed. If you have siblings, we can help them too. That's why we want to know if there are more kids on the ship./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Simon, are there more kids on the ship?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Simon: Why do you want to know that if your pilot is going to kill them anyway?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: I'm asking because I want to make sure our pilot releases them and takes them to a safe place./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Simon: Well, it seems like your pilot is broken./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: What do you mean?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Simon: Just look at him, crying for killing a bunch of brats./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: He feels that way for killing children like you. So tell me, Simon, do you have siblings on that ship? I have an older brother, his name is Manfred, sometimes he's a jerk, but we still help each other when we need to./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Simon: I have a sister named Illmari, she's my older sister, she's 21. The captain of the pirate ship bought us. She pilots a white MS./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Do only you guys pilot the MS, or do adults also?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Simon: Adults usually don't pilot MS, except for the captain who pilots a black MS./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Say no more, we're going to help your sister and friends./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak goes to look for Miguel and talks to him./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: My duko, what can I do for you, kid?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Did you see what happened with the prisoner?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: I saw that he's just a kid, which is tough considering that Gjallahorn shouldn't abide by the laws and agreements it signs./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: I'm not asking you whether it's right or wrong for Gjallahorn to fulfill its agreements, but I'm asking for your help to free the remaining kids./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: I understand, my duko, but those kids could consume our resources./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: I thought this was a charity mission./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: You caught me off guard, my esteemed Duko, but those kids will cost us resources for training./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: We both know you don't want to train or use them. I know Bernstein has an orphanage for these kids. I just ask that you help me free them./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: How do you plan to do that?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: By only shooting at the command tower, that way we avoid most casualties. My pilot will take care of the rest./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: Well, you have my support, but without an MS, there's not much we can do, considering your brother's condition./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: I'll take care of motivating him./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak goes to Manfred's cockpit./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Manfred, I know you're in there. I know you can't bring those kids back to life./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: Don't mess with me./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: But at least you can make sure more kids don't suffer the same fate./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: You saw that Gjallarhorn's laws don't even apply to themselves, so at least we should try to prevent other children from suffering./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: What do you plan to do?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Miguel will provide support by attacking the pirate ship's tower. You just have to disable the MS./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: That won't bring back the kids I killed./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Yes, but it may help atone for our actions and prevent these kids from suffering a similar fate./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred opens the door and asks:/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: Are there Mobile Suits supporting us?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: No, but Yamazin and I will support you with whatever is necessary, Miguel will also help us./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel appears in the hallway and says:/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: How are you, my Manfred? I left you a gift at the MS port, it might help you./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: What did you give me?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: It is a surprise. But I know it'll be useful for you. It's said that only Teiwaz knows the alloy. I hope it serves you well, my friend./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred just says: Thank you very much, Miguel./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel tells him:/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: Don't call me "don," just call me Miguel./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: Well, thank you, Miguel./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: Whenever you want, kid./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred goes to the port and sees a sword with the inscription "Zweihander."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred decides to board his MS, and Miguel speaks to him./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: Did you see your gift, my Manfred? It's made of a special alloy. They say only Teiwaz knows which one it is. I hope it serves you well, my friend./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred just says: Thank you very much, Don Miguel./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel tells him:/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: Don't call me "Don," just call me Miguel./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: Well, thank you, Miguel./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"The Salomon Gundam exits the ship and heads toward the pirate ship, where it is intercepted by several bulky MS./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: Let's go, Solomon, to free those children./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred heads towards the pirate ship and sees several Mobile Suits, which he starts dismembering with his new sword until he sees a white MS./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Simon: Illmari!/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: The MS is also piloted by a girl, Manfred, be careful./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: I'll free her./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred and the white MS approach. The white MS starts shooting at him, so Manfred grabs a severed limb as a shield to get closer to the white MS. The white MS then draws its axe, and Manfred reacts by stabbing the MS's shoulder./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari: My brother's death will be avenged, white beast./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari approaches Salomon again with her axe, but Manfred stops the attack with the armor on his forearm, punches the white MS, and then Manfred cuts off one of its legs with his zweihander./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari: Shit, I can't give up now, Simon./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari approaches again, damaging Salomon's shoulder and incapacitating his left arm./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: Damn it, you can't give up!/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred steps back, draws his knife, and quickly attacks the white MS, stabbing and dismembering its missing arm. Illmari decides to make a final charge using her MS's horn./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: He's a good fighter, I have to admit./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred unsheathes the zweihander and mutilates the missing leg of the MS before heading towards the enemy ship, which is under fire from Miguel. Manfred approaches the ship at great speed, causing another, slimmer cyclops-type MS with two scimitars to emerge from it. The black MS charges at Manfred with all its force./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Mahmud: You won't last long with me, rookie./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred manages to block the attack and retreats to attack Mahmud with his zweihander. Mahmud blocks the attack with his two scimitars, then attacks Manfred with one of them. Manfred blocks it, kicks Mahmud, and decides to move away. Mahmud pursues him until he finds him, then begins to execute successive attacks against Manfred. Manfred blocks the attacks with the armor on his forearm until it begins to come loose. Seeing this, Manfred kicks Mahmud in the waist and then cuts off one of his legs./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Mahmud: You bastard, you'll regret facing me./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: I must find a way to stun him, even if only for a few seconds. Manfred sees the sun and smiles. He heads towards Miguel's ship, which is blocking part of the sun, and sees Mahmud approaching. So he decides to communicate with Miguel./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: Miguel, I'm at the base of your ship, turn it around, make it stop blocking the sun./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: Where are you that we can't see you?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: At the keel./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Mahmud: They decided to flee, cowards, what can you expect from traffickers?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"The sunlight begins to shine into Mahmud's ocular systems as Manfred decides to attack from the front, impaling Mahmud and piercing his MS. After this, Manfred approaches the pirate ship to display what remains of Mahmud's MS impaled on his zweihander./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Seeing this, the officers surrender and Miguel's crew boards the pirate ship. After inspecting it, Miguel finds unused MS./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: Mother of... 4 new MS./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: It would be better to dismantle them to continue our agreement./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: You're crazy, the deal was that you would get the destroyed MS. Considering the deal, you get 25% of the value of these MS./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: .../span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: What happened, my queen? I follow my contracts to the letter./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred takes care of transporting the dismembered MS to free the pilots from their duty. As he liberates the children from their yoke, they celebrate as the remains of the MS arrive at Miguel's ship's port. The celebration grows until Manfred approaches Illmari's MS./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari: It seems I have new owners, but why do I see my companions celebrating? Have they lost their minds?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari, upon leaving the remains of her MS, sees a multitude of children and ports celebrating. When her brother charges at her and embraces her, saying:/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Simo: Illu, we're free now./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari: I don't understand what you mean./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Simo: We're free, sister, why do you think everyone's celebrating? We're going to have a new home on Mars, in one of Bernstein's orphanages./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari starts to tear up and says,/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari: I understand now./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel and Yamazin watch from the bridge of the ship as the children celebrate, and Yamazin says,/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: Wouldn't you like to do charity work like this more often?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: These kinds of deeds usually cost a lot./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: But if you like being generous with your countrymen./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: That's different, it's because it benefits me in the long run./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: That's a lie, you do it because you want to see a change in the places that matter to you. Whether for better or for worse. Duko, at least, is more sincere and direct with his intentions. He can be unorthodox, but that's what I like about him. He's honest with himself and those around him./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: I looked directly into the eyes of your boys and they're straightforward, but there's something odd about them. A feeling that they want revenge, it's evident deep within them. They're smart, but that could lead them to ruin./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: Revenge? Against whom?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: I couldn't tell you, my queen. Only they can answer that. Hopefully, they'll know to let go of that feeling for both our sakes./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: Changing the subject, are you not going to tell me what you're carrying in your cargo?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: I already told you, when the time comes, you'll know. For now, just know that it's aid for my countrymen back on Earth./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred is heading somewhere when Illmari stops him and shakes his hand./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari: Thank you./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: For what?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari: For freeing my brother./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: You don't have to thank me, it was coincidence./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari: But you freed me and all the kids./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: It was the least I could do to atone for my actions./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari: Could you at least shake my hand?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: I can't, it's dirty with my blo.../span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari shakes Manfred's hand./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: .../span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari: I hope to work with you in the future./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: I don't understand, you're free, you don't have to get into the MS anymore./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari: You don't understand. I'm already of legal age, I can't go to any orphanage on Mars anymore. So I decided to work with you, and the only thing I know how to do is handle an MS./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: Have you consulted Dukovak and Yamazin?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari: Yes, that's exactly why I'm here. They told me that you're the one who decides whether I enter the company or not./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: Well, if that's what you wanted, then you're in./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari: Thank you very much, Manfred, I won't disappoint you./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"The ship approaches Earth quickly and lands in the new city of Mexico./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Upon disembarking, Miguel instructs his men to take care of the children./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: We're going to make the delivery in Chihuahua. Some of you will take care of the kids, we don't want any pig asking for bribes./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: You three still need to fulfill your contract./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: We know./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: Don't worry, my Duko, in two days you'll learn how to close deals./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Illmari, come, you're going to learn to maintain the Gundam./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari: I'm coming./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"The company members and Miguel's men board the train once it's loaded, heading towards Chihuahua./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"The train was at full speed when a Gjallahorn patrol stopped them, carrying two Graze-type MS. Miguel gets off with Dukovak to negotiate with the officers. Dukovak instructs Manfred to get into the Gundam./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: What's up, my boys, how are we doing?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Officer: Very well, sir, may I see your documentation?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: Of course, here it is./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel hands over false documentation to the officer./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Officer: Mr. Félix Gallardo, I need to inspect the train cars./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: Oh, officer, it seems that the doors are damaged and won't open, you know how it is./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel proceeds to open a briefcase with money and says to them,/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: Here it is officer, for the inconvenience we may have caused you./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Officer: Very well, Mr. Félix, you are under arrest for bribing a Gjallahorn officer./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: Oh, officer, it seems you've decided your payment will be in lead currency./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"After hearing these words, Miguel's men come out of the cars shooting at the patrols, the Salomón Gundam comes out of the car to attack the two Graze MS, Manfred stabs the first MS, leaving it out of combat, grabs its axe, and starts attacking the remaining MS frenetically until breaking the cockpit. Once the door is open, Manfred pulls out the MS pilot and crushes them like trash. After this, he tears off the cockpit of the first MS to ensure its pilot was dead, squeezing the body as a measure. After that, Miguel and the others flee the scene./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: That's a more violent side of Manfred./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: Maybe he acted like that because his brother was in danger, maybe not. Only God knows./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"A day passes and the train is already on the outskirts of Chihuahua. There, Miguel closes the deal with several of his men behind him carrying long weapons. He doesn't leave until he receives the briefcase. Suddenly, when opening the containers of the train, three Mobile Suits, several Mobile Workers, and one of the men open a box from which he takes AK and M16 rifles./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: So that was the supposed help you were going to give to your countrymen./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: You don't understand, this is bigger than you or me, this is for my Neo Mexico and for a better future in my lands./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: You're only providing instruments of violence./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: That's where you're wrong, my dear. I'm providing instruments to fight against the oppression of Gjallahorn. And I hope that once we're no longer under their control, my people can live better./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: Do you really think more changes will be achieved with violence?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: My dear, there's a saying "by reason or by force." Mexicans already tried the first path and look at what happened in Monterrey months ago, let's not be foolish. In fact, your boys seem to be from there by the way they speak. Ask them what happened./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: ... Do you really think you'll accomplish anything?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: ... Well, who knows, my dear, maybe we can have a better world without the pigs from Gjallahorn./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: Well, who knows, maybe you'll unleash a beast once Gjallahorn is gone./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: Well, it's time to return to Mars, your contract isn't over yet./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"The train returns to the new city of Mexico, and once there, the ship sets sail for Mars where they arrive without incidents. Upon arrival, Miguel says to them,/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: It was a pleasure doing business with you ladies and gentlemen, here's the bank transaction receipt./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin checks the payment receipt./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: Miguel, I don't understand why you're paying us more./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: That money is for the Mobile Suits we delivered, check the hold of my ship./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin, Dukovak, Illmari, and Manfred follow Miguel./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: Consider this a gift from me./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel opens the ship's hatches revealing an MS recovered from the battle against the space pirates./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: My team decided to make some modifications to it and equipped it with a more powerful rifle./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: You know you're missing the opportunity to protect your fleet./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: Oh, dear, sometimes one must grow slowly without anyone knowing. Besides, you need that MS more than I do./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: I don't know what to say. Thank you, Miguel./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Thank you very much, Miguel, I hope we can do business again soon./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: I say the same, my Duko. Anyway, I have to take these kids to the orphanage. Duko, Manfred, get in the truck./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: I'm going./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Upon arrival, Miguel hands over a suitcase of money and takes down the children./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"The caretakers ask under whose name the donation was made, to which Miguel replies,/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: Joshua Graham./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"And he drives away with Manfred, Dukovak, and Illmari./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"Dukovak observes Manfred's expression and senses that something is not right, so he decides to talk to him./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Manfred, what happened?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: ... I killed.../span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: We both know this was going to be difficult. Let's have a drink to help you forget what happened./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: ...children.../span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred starts sobbing./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak, incredulous, asks him./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: How do you know? With the Human Debris Treaty, that would be impossible./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: Ask that kid over there./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred, tearfully, says to him:/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: It could have been us, Dukovak. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Yes, I understand./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak looks at the new prisoner, who is a child, and realizes the seriousness of Manfred's problem. Yamazin approaches and asks:/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: Is Manfred okay?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: What do you think? He just killed children./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: How do you know?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Look at that prisoner over there./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: Damn it./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak approaches the young prisoner and asks:/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: What's your name?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Orphan: I'm Simon./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: How old are you?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Simon: Thirteen, and why does it matter to you?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: It matters to me because you're still a kid. Tell me, do you have siblings?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Simon: Why does that matter to you? Anyway, I already have a new owner./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: No, no, no, Simon, you've just been freed. If you have siblings, we can help them too. That's why we want to know if there are more kids on the ship./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Simon, are there more kids on the ship?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Simon: Why do you want to know that if your pilot is going to kill them anyway?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: I'm asking because I want to make sure our pilot releases them and takes them to a safe place./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Simon: Well, it seems like your pilot is broken./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: What do you mean?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Simon: Just look at him, crying for killing a bunch of brats./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: He feels that way for killing children like you. So tell me, Simon, do you have siblings on that ship? I have an older brother, his name is Manfred, sometimes he's a jerk, but we still help each other when we need to./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Simon: I have a sister named Illmari, she's my older sister, she's 21. The captain of the pirate ship bought us. She pilots a white MS./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Do only you guys pilot the MS, or do adults also?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Simon: Adults usually don't pilot MS, except for the captain who pilots a black MS./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Say no more, we're going to help your sister and friends./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak goes to look for Miguel and talks to him./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: My duko, what can I do for you, kid?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Did you see what happened with the prisoner?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: I saw that he's just a kid, which is tough considering that Gjallahorn shouldn't abide by the laws and agreements it signs./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: I'm not asking you whether it's right or wrong for Gjallahorn to fulfill its agreements, but I'm asking for your help to free the remaining kids./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: I understand, my duko, but those kids could consume our resources./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: I thought this was a charity mission./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: You caught me off guard, my esteemed Duko, but those kids will cost us resources for training./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: We both know you don't want to train or use them. I know Bernstein has an orphanage for these kids. I just ask that you help me free them./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: How do you plan to do that?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: By only shooting at the command tower, that way we avoid most casualties. My pilot will take care of the rest./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: Well, you have my support, but without an MS, there's not much we can do, considering your brother's condition./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: I'll take care of motivating him./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak goes to Manfred's cockpit./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Manfred, I know you're in there. I know you can't bring those kids back to life./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: Don't mess with me./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: But at least you can make sure more kids don't suffer the same fate./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: You saw that Gjallarhorn's laws don't even apply to themselves, so at least we should try to prevent other children from suffering./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: What do you plan to do?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Miguel will provide support by attacking the pirate ship's tower. You just have to disable the MS./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: That won't bring back the kids I killed./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Yes, but it may help atone for our actions and prevent these kids from suffering a similar fate./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred opens the door and asks:/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: Are there Mobile Suits supporting us?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: No, but Yamazin and I will support you with whatever is necessary, Miguel will also help us./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel appears in the hallway and says:/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: How are you, my Manfred? I left you a gift at the MS port, it might help you./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: What did you give me?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: It is a surprise. But I know it'll be useful for you. It's said that only Teiwaz knows the alloy. I hope it serves you well, my friend./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred just says: Thank you very much, Miguel./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel tells him:/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: Don't call me "don," just call me Miguel./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: Well, thank you, Miguel./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: Whenever you want, kid./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred goes to the port and sees a sword with the inscription "Zweihander."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred decides to board his MS, and Miguel speaks to him./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: Did you see your gift, my Manfred? It's made of a special alloy. They say only Teiwaz knows which one it is. I hope it serves you well, my friend./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred just says: Thank you very much, Don Miguel./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel tells him:/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: Don't call me "Don," just call me Miguel./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: Well, thank you, Miguel./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"The Salomon Gundam exits the ship and heads toward the pirate ship, where it is intercepted by several bulky MS./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: Let's go, Solomon, to free those children./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred heads towards the pirate ship and sees several Mobile Suits, which he starts dismembering with his new sword until he sees a white MS./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Simon: Illmari!/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: The MS is also piloted by a girl, Manfred, be careful./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: I'll free her./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred and the white MS approach. The white MS starts shooting at him, so Manfred grabs a severed limb as a shield to get closer to the white MS. The white MS then draws its axe, and Manfred reacts by stabbing the MS's shoulder./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari: My brother's death will be avenged, white beast./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari approaches Salomon again with her axe, but Manfred stops the attack with the armor on his forearm, punches the white MS, and then Manfred cuts off one of its legs with his zweihander./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari: Shit, I can't give up now, Simon./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari approaches again, damaging Salomon's shoulder and incapacitating his left arm./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: Damn it, you can't give up!/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred steps back, draws his knife, and quickly attacks the white MS, stabbing and dismembering its missing arm. Illmari decides to make a final charge using her MS's horn./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: He's a good fighter, I have to admit./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred unsheathes the zweihander and mutilates the missing leg of the MS before heading towards the enemy ship, which is under fire from Miguel. Manfred approaches the ship at great speed, causing another, slimmer cyclops-type MS with two scimitars to emerge from it. The black MS charges at Manfred with all its force./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Mahmud: You won't last long with me, rookie./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred manages to block the attack and retreats to attack Mahmud with his zweihander. Mahmud blocks the attack with his two scimitars, then attacks Manfred with one of them. Manfred blocks it, kicks Mahmud, and decides to move away. Mahmud pursues him until he finds him, then begins to execute successive attacks against Manfred. Manfred blocks the attacks with the armor on his forearm until it begins to come loose. Seeing this, Manfred kicks Mahmud in the waist and then cuts off one of his legs./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Mahmud: You bastard, you'll regret facing me./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: I must find a way to stun him, even if only for a few seconds. Manfred sees the sun and smiles. He heads towards Miguel's ship, which is blocking part of the sun, and sees Mahmud approaching. So he decides to communicate with Miguel./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: Miguel, I'm at the base of your ship, turn it around, make it stop blocking the sun./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: Where are you that we can't see you?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: At the keel./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Mahmud: They decided to flee, cowards, what can you expect from traffickers?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"The sunlight begins to shine into Mahmud's ocular systems as Manfred decides to attack from the front, impaling Mahmud and piercing his MS. After this, Manfred approaches the pirate ship to display what remains of Mahmud's MS impaled on his zweihander./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Seeing this, the officers surrender and Miguel's crew boards the pirate ship. After inspecting it, Miguel finds unused MS./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: Mother of... 4 new MS./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: It would be better to dismantle them to continue our agreement./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: You're crazy, the deal was that you would get the destroyed MS. Considering the deal, you get 25% of the value of these MS./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: .../span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: What happened, my queen? I follow my contracts to the letter./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred takes care of transporting the dismembered MS to free the pilots from their duty. As he liberates the children from their yoke, they celebrate as the remains of the MS arrive at Miguel's ship's port. The celebration grows until Manfred approaches Illmari's MS./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari: It seems I have new owners, but why do I see my companions celebrating? Have they lost their minds?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari, upon leaving the remains of her MS, sees a multitude of children and ports celebrating. When her brother charges at her and embraces her, saying:/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Simo: Illu, we're free now./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari: I don't understand what you mean./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Simo: We're free, sister, why do you think everyone's celebrating? We're going to have a new home on Mars, in one of Bernstein's orphanages./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari starts to tear up and says,/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari: I understand now./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel and Yamazin watch from the bridge of the ship as the children celebrate, and Yamazin says,/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: Wouldn't you like to do charity work like this more often?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: These kinds of deeds usually cost a lot./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: But if you like being generous with your countrymen./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: That's different, it's because it benefits me in the long run./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: That's a lie, you do it because you want to see a change in the places that matter to you. Whether for better or for worse. Duko, at least, is more sincere and direct with his intentions. He can be unorthodox, but that's what I like about him. He's honest with himself and those around him./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: I looked directly into the eyes of your boys and they're straightforward, but there's something odd about them. A feeling that they want revenge, it's evident deep within them. They're smart, but that could lead them to ruin./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: Revenge? Against whom?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: I couldn't tell you, my queen. Only they can answer that. Hopefully, they'll know to let go of that feeling for both our sakes./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: Changing the subject, are you not going to tell me what you're carrying in your cargo?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: I already told you, when the time comes, you'll know. For now, just know that it's aid for my countrymen back on Earth./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred is heading somewhere when Illmari stops him and shakes his hand./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari: Thank you./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: For what?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari: For freeing my brother./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: You don't have to thank me, it was coincidence./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari: But you freed me and all the kids./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: It was the least I could do to atone for my actions./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari: Could you at least shake my hand?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: I can't, it's dirty with my blo.../span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari shakes Manfred's hand./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: .../span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari: I hope to work with you in the future./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: I don't understand, you're free, you don't have to get into the MS anymore./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari: You don't understand. I'm already of legal age, I can't go to any orphanage on Mars anymore. So I decided to work with you, and the only thing I know how to do is handle an MS./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: Have you consulted Dukovak and Yamazin?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari: Yes, that's exactly why I'm here. They told me that you're the one who decides whether I enter the company or not./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: Well, if that's what you wanted, then you're in./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari: Thank you very much, Manfred, I won't disappoint you./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"The ship approaches Earth quickly and lands in the new city of Mexico./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Upon disembarking, Miguel instructs his men to take care of the children./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: We're going to make the delivery in Chihuahua. Some of you will take care of the kids, we don't want any pig asking for bribes./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: You three still need to fulfill your contract./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: We know./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: Don't worry, my Duko, in two days you'll learn how to close deals./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Illmari, come, you're going to learn to maintain the Gundam./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari: I'm coming./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"The company members and Miguel's men board the train once it's loaded, heading towards Chihuahua./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"The train was at full speed when a Gjallahorn patrol stopped them, carrying two Graze-type MS. Miguel gets off with Dukovak to negotiate with the officers. Dukovak instructs Manfred to get into the Gundam./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: What's up, my boys, how are we doing?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Officer: Very well, sir, may I see your documentation?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: Of course, here it is./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel hands over false documentation to the officer./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Officer: Mr. Félix Gallardo, I need to inspect the train cars./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: Oh, officer, it seems that the doors are damaged and won't open, you know how it is./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel proceeds to open a briefcase with money and says to them,/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: Here it is officer, for the inconvenience we may have caused you./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Officer: Very well, Mr. Félix, you are under arrest for bribing a Gjallahorn officer./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: Oh, officer, it seems you've decided your payment will be in lead currency./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"After hearing these words, Miguel's men come out of the cars shooting at the patrols, the Salomón Gundam comes out of the car to attack the two Graze MS, Manfred stabs the first MS, leaving it out of combat, grabs its axe, and starts attacking the remaining MS frenetically until breaking the cockpit. Once the door is open, Manfred pulls out the MS pilot and crushes them like trash. After this, he tears off the cockpit of the first MS to ensure its pilot was dead, squeezing the body as a measure. After that, Miguel and the others flee the scene./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: That's a more violent side of Manfred./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: Maybe he acted like that because his brother was in danger, maybe not. Only God knows./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"A day passes and the train is already on the outskirts of Chihuahua. There, Miguel closes the deal with several of his men behind him carrying long weapons. He doesn't leave until he receives the briefcase. Suddenly, when opening the containers of the train, three Mobile Suits, several Mobile Workers, and one of the men open a box from which he takes AK and M16 rifles./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: So that was the supposed help you were going to give to your countrymen./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: You don't understand, this is bigger than you or me, this is for my Neo Mexico and for a better future in my lands./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: You're only providing instruments of violence./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: That's where you're wrong, my dear. I'm providing instruments to fight against the oppression of Gjallahorn. And I hope that once we're no longer under their control, my people can live better./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: Do you really think more changes will be achieved with violence?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: My dear, there's a saying "by reason or by force." Mexicans already tried the first path and look at what happened in Monterrey months ago, let's not be foolish. In fact, your boys seem to be from there by the way they speak. Ask them what happened./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: ... Do you really think you'll accomplish anything?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: ... Well, who knows, my dear, maybe we can have a better world without the pigs from Gjallahorn./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: Well, who knows, maybe you'll unleash a beast once Gjallahorn is gone./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: Well, it's time to return to Mars, your contract isn't over yet./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"The train returns to the new city of Mexico, and once there, the ship sets sail for Mars where they arrive without incidents. Upon arrival, Miguel says to them,/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: It was a pleasure doing business with you ladies and gentlemen, here's the bank transaction receipt./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin checks the payment receipt./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: Miguel, I don't understand why you're paying us more./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: That money is for the Mobile Suits we delivered, check the hold of my ship./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin, Dukovak, Illmari, and Manfred follow Miguel./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: Consider this a gift from me./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel opens the ship's hatches revealing an MS recovered from the battle against the space pirates./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: My team decided to make some modifications to it and equipped it with a more powerful rifle./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: You know you're missing the opportunity to protect your fleet./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: Oh, dear, sometimes one must grow slowly without anyone knowing. Besides, you need that MS more than I do./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: I don't know what to say. Thank you, Miguel./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Thank you very much, Miguel, I hope we can do business again soon./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: I say the same, my Duko. Anyway, I have to take these kids to the orphanage. Duko, Manfred, get in the truck./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: I'm going./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Upon arrival, Miguel hands over a suitcase of money and takes down the children./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"The caretakers ask under whose name the donation was made, to which Miguel replies,/span/p
