<MMD>: It's been almost a century, Master....

<Urope>:Who used Fuhai's move to awaken me then?

(MMD shows footage of Scorpio's destruction of the entire Libra)

<Urope>:Amazing..... Look at the arm...(MMD's scanner focuses)..it's the God Gundam arm! As long as it exists...

<Zechs>:You and me....we're not done yet.....I may be a Preventer now,but I still remember that you almost killed me at Libra....

<Scorpio>:Bite me. I was trying to save the world. Besides,what's your beef ?

<Une gets between the two>:Do you mind? We have a battle going on here..?

(PS and Tallgeese III stand with backs to each other):Hmph.

<Heero>:He must hate him more than he does me...

<Otto>:That's coz you never actually kicked the crap out of Zechs. Scorpio did.Believe me, Zechs will tell you himself...look out!

<Mariemia>:Because I want humanity to keel over! Even with those troublesome Gundams in the way, we will take over this world as well as the colonies!

<Relena>:For a seven year old, you sure sound vicious....don't tell me...your grandad over there told you to be..?

<MarieMia laughs>: I was destined to be ruler! I don't need anyone to tell me anything! I will need you to do something for me...inform the world of our terms and tell it to surrender!!!
