The conflict continues to escalate as Earth Forces fleets encircle the ZAFT bases at Gibraltar and Carpentaria, and the PLANT Supreme Council decides to strike back in the name of self-defense. Despite her best intentions, Cagalli yields to her ministers' demands that Orb ally itself with the Atlantic Federation.
If you've decided to become our enemy,
I'll destroy this damn country myself!
Wenn du entschieden hast, unser Feind zu werden,
zerstörte ich dieses verdammte Land persönlich!
Si decidieron ser nuestros enemigos,
Si decidisteis ser nuestros enemigos,
Si ce pays est notre ennemi,
Caso decida virar nosso inimigo,
 eu mesmo destruo esta droga de país!
