[U.C 0080]

Gihren Zabi was slain. Bright Noa will go on to find someone worthy of him when the bloodshed between the Federation and Zeon draws to a close...and yet, Kuzco feels herself unable to releases her desire to live, even after abandoning her chance to slay Dozle. Starving, and at the verge of her oxygen supply being depleted, Kuzco's psyche edges on total collapse.

>Kuzco: B-Bright...I want...see you...again...!

As the light begins to fade from Kuzco's eyes, her eyes thrust open as a featureless, yet humanoid presence lingers over her.

>Kuzco: Are you...death?

As the entity places its hand upon Kuzco's face, her mind is filled with visions of a future without Bright ever truly finding happiness. Be it the tragedy of war or his own inability to speak up, the man who she left to live his own life would either die in battle, or carry out his final days alone.

>Kuzco: The world...denied him love? It denied him the future he deserved? That is...I can't...!

The entity moves to Kuzco's stomach, reaching into her womb to feel the first sparks of life growing within her.

>Kuzco:...I don't want to die. I don't want to die...I don't want to die...don't want to die...don't want to die...don't want to die...I...I...!!!

The wreckage of the Zeong's head flickers with one final spark of power as a beam fires out into space.

>Magellan Captain: Sir, we have detected a heat signature.
>Jamitov: Ah...the wreckage of that Newtype machine the Gundam had engaged. Recover it.

Having been shown a future that betrayed her hopes, Kuzco's spirit is left open as the entity flows upon her, its influence enveloping both her and the unborn life growing with her...

[U.C 0095, Hawaii]

Awakening within a ceaseless void, Asherah's naked body is surrounded by the dormant spirits of the dead that had flowed onto her.

>[???]: [I AM SATISFIED]

Remaining calm, Asherah turns to find the featureless visage floating above her.
