[The Operation to stop the "Echo of Oshun" has failed...]

>Amuro: That isn't...after everyone who just...!
>Sayla: Amuro!! There is nothing more we can do here!
>Amuro: I can't let this happen! There still has to be a way to-
>Sayla: The colony has just passed the point of no return! We can still escape if we-

Releasing a scream of sheer despair and rage, Amuro pushes out from the chamber he is trapped within alongside Sayla, firing wildly into the Neo Zeon soldiers ready to die with the colony. As he continues to fight, the walls of the control chamber of the colony begin to whisper into his mind.

>??? 1: [UTOPIA~UTOPIA~UTOPIA~UTOPIA~]
>??? 2: [ALL THOSE WHO STOLE OUR LIVES SHALL JOIN US...AND THOSE WHO REMAIN SHALL INHERIT A NEW WORLD]
>??? 3: [COME JOIN US...IT WILL BE FUN-]
>Amuro: Aaaaah!!!!

The Psychommu relays woven into the control chamber of colony begin to resonate with Amuro, flowing onto him as he attempts to pour his very essence into diverting the colony...yet no matter how hard he screams, no matter his struggle...all he can hear is laughter. Not mocking, not cruel...just hopeful, twisted laughter of forces beyond his understanding preparing for redemption. Running to Amuro's side, Sayla holds onto him as she buries her face into his chest.

>Sayla: Whatever happens now, I want it to be with you. Don't give up...someway, somehow, the world will survive this! We will survive-

The howls of joyous laughter grows louder in Amuro's mind as they feel the last shreds of hope vanishing from the powerful Newtype. Bursting back into the colony, Bernard takes hold of Amuro and Sayla, escaping back into space with them as the colony prepares to explode in orbit. Shielding the survivors of the battle from the nuclear explosions, Bernie's Mobile Suit spirals through space as thousands of super heated, super-sonic shards blaze towards the Earth.
