Athrun ZalaShinn, just stop it already, it's pointless now!
Damn it! Why am I... I can't lose to you! Not to you!
Athrun Zala
You must stop fighting to change your past, you've got to move on!
[Shinn and Lunamaria are stunned by Athrun's words.]
Athrun Zala
No matter what you do, you cannot bring them back!
[Flashbacks of fallen comrades and families as Athrun emphasizes his point.]
Athrun Zala
And now you're gonna destroy the future too? Is that it?!
I understand. I understand that! But, that's exactly why the world has to change!! Also, that's why Orb must be destroyed!
[Lunamaria is shocked and horrified by Shinn's destructive motives and remarks..] Shinn...!
Athrun Zala
Stop talking back to me in that nonsense! Destroying everything like this... and even killing the future...! Is this really the world you desired?! Or the power you desired?!
[Shinn reflects at his painful past]
It's not the same... it's not!
[Shinn charges head on at Athrun, but Lunamaria jumps in between the two, trying to stop them fighting each other.]
Shinn, stop it already! Athrun, you too!
[Shinn wildly screams at seeing the ghosts of his past.]
Stella! Mayu! MAKE IT STOP!!!
[Shinn continues to attack, to Lunamaria's shock. Athrun goes into Seed Mode, and shields Lunamaria from Shinn's attack.]
Athrun Zala
You crazy bastard!!
[Athrun then cripples Shinn's Destiny Gundam, and Shinn screams in pain as he crashes upon the moon surface.]
[Lunamaria rushes to look after Shinn, as Athrun looks on with regret]
CCagalli
Great work, Athrun!
Athrun
You too, Cagalli.
CCagalli
I’m really glad we managed to stop the attack on Orb. I was honestly shocked when I first heard about it, being told to team up to fight the one who took down Kira and Shinn. Well, that plan was pretty reckless. I was really worried about you.
Athrun
Don’t worry. Winning a battle isn’t just about strength. You can exploit weaknesses or set traps. There’s no need to fight on the enemy’s terms.
CCagalli
As expected from you.
Athrun
Of course! Even if we went up against each other five times, I wouldn’t lose.
Athrun
Yeah. But there’s no doubt that we won thanks to you Cagalli. Its because you provided Justice and Cavalier.
CCagalli
I see. I’m glad I could be of help.
Athrun
Also, Shinn is 10 years too early to pilot Justice.
CCagalli
(light-hearted) That might be true.
Athrun
Uh... Here it comes...
CCagalli
That enemy pilot said something about “shameless delusions.” What was all that about?
CCagalli
Why are you silent?
Athrun
There’s no way I can say it.
CCagalli
So it’s something you can’t say?!
Athrun
It’s not like that!
CCagalli
Hmm... I heard from Meyrin, she said that a girl named Meer was in your room before.
Athrun
When did you hear this?! Besides, that was just a misunderstanding-
CCagalli
So you did something that could be misunderstood?
Athrun
How did you reach that conclusion?
CCagalli
Meyrin is Lunamaria’s sister, you know. She probably knows everything you’ve done.
Athrun
Like I said…Why? Hmm... Alright. I was thinking of you.
Athrun
Sorry. But let me make one thing clear - you’re the only one I’ve ever looked at like that, Cagalli, on that deserted island!! [Athrun is shown to be blushing at Cagalli, embarrassed.]'
CCagalli
I-Is that so? Mhhm... It was necessary to win, right? Mhhm... Then it can’t be helped. I’ll let this slide.
Athrun
Cagalli…?
CCagalli
Why didn’t you tell me beforehand?
Athrun
If I told you beforehand, would you have cooperated?
CCagalli
Of course not!!!
