GUNDAM SEED Destiny - Phase 47: Meer
Fansub
Meer's body is brought aboard the Archangel and the crew pays honor. Lacus puts the disc found in Meer's purse into the computer. It's a digital diary chronicling Meer's experiences beginning with her cosmetic surgery to look like Lacus. In it, she reveals her desire to do her best for PLANT and ZAFT troops in Lacus's absence. Even though her speeches are written for her and her identity is a sham, she still feels as if her songs and her words are helping to move the world towards peace. The Archangel crew gives Meer a burial in space.
From his space fortress, Messiah, Chairman Dillundil announces to the world that now that Logos has been defeated, the only road to true peace is the Destiny Plan.
GUNDAM SEED Destiny - Phase 48: To A New World
Fansub
Chairman Dillundil outlines the Destiny Plan: A system of computers will analyze each and every persons genome to determine their personality, preferences, and ability. They will then assign the individual a role in society based on the result. He claims that this system will eliminate human ignorance and ambitions, thus ending all conflicts.
Shinn appears to have doubts about the Chairman's Destiny Plan. But Rey tells him that it's the only way to end all wars and that Shinn was chosen to pilot the GUNDAM Destiny because he so strongly wished for such a world. Rey becomes very agitated and reaches for a container of blue and green pills - the same pills that Rau le Cruset once took.
Due to the ravages of the war and the recent Logos hunt, the governments of Earth are in no position to resist Dillundil - except for Orb. Cagalli announces to the world her nation's intentions to resist the Destiny Plan. Meanwhile, the Atlantic Federation's remaining space forces launch from the Arzachel base on the Moon. In response, Dillundil reactivates Requiem and fires it at Arzachel, wiping out the Atlantic Federation's fleet, the base, and their president.
Rey apologizes to Shinn for overreacting earlier, telling him to believe in the Chairman no matter what. He also reveals that he doesn't have much time left to live. He ages too quickly because of a lack of telomeres... due to the fact that he's a clone.
Dillundil summons Rey, Shinn and their GUNDAMs to Messiah. Meanwhile, the Archangel, the Eternal, the Orb space fleet, and Clyne Faction's fleet all launch to stage a final attack against Dillundil.
GUNDAM SEED Destiny - Phase 49: Rey
Fansub
The Archangel and the Eternal head to destroy the first relay point in the Requiem's firing system while the rest of the fleet attacks Requiem's control system directly before they can fire it again. ZAFT forces are deployed to defend the station, including Yzak's ship, Voltaire. Lacus beseeches the ZAFT forces to stand down, saying that they must not lay down their lives to protect a meaningless weapon of mass destruction. The ZAFT forces hesitate at first, but then revert to their training and a huge space battle ensues.
Dillundil meets with Shinn and Rey aboard Messiah. Rey pledges his support to the Chairman, saying that the Destiny Plan is necessary for humanity to live in peace. But Shinn is still unsure. He thinks back to the conversation that he and Rey had aboard the Minerva, when Rey revealed that he was a clone. Like Kira, Rey was created from the funds of a person pursuing a dream. He has no parents and no idea why he was created. However, he does not consider his rapidly aging body a splendid result in the advancement of science. He said that there was another like him and that his "brother" cursed this fate, and died trying to destroy the world. He believes in the Destiny Plan because it won't ever again allow children like him, le Cruset, and Kira to be created as weapons.
Shinn pledges his allegiance to the Chairman.
Yzak and Dearka both launch in their mobile suits after learning that Kira and Athrun are in the thick of the battle. Captain Gladys is also having doubts about fighting for the Destiny Plan, but decides to engage the Archangel anyway. She targets the ship with the Tannhauser, but the beam is intercepted by Neo/Mwu in the GUNDAM Akatsgi before it can destroy the Archangel. His determination to protect the ship allows him to recall his memories prior to the Battle of Jachin Due.
Yzak and Dearka both come to aid Athrun and Kira - effectively defecting from ZAFT. They fly cover for the Strike-Freedom and the Infinite Justice while they destroy the relay station. For the first time, the four surviving members of the original GUNDAM pilots find themselves fighting side by side.
Before they can get to the Requiem's control center, the space fortress Messiah appears, firing a GENESIS superweapon at the fleet. Destiny and Legend both launch to do battle against the Freedom and Justice. As Rey engages the Freedom he mutters to himself, "Kira Yamato, I will never forgive your existence."
