The Real Enemy, the Ideals of Celestial Being

Using the opportunity to defend Coordinators, Luther exposed the severe fertility crisis facing them, which the PLANT government had kept hidden.

Though this might bolster Blue Cosmos's claim that "Coordinators are monsters who should never have existed," it also shattered their aura of perfection and gave Naturals—or ordinary people—a chance to see Coordinators clearly.

And although Luther's explanation might not immediately change the minds of most people on Earth, who were currently facing real hardship because of the April Fool's Crisis,

given enough time, and with public opinion shifting as the balance of power changed, more people would surely accept Luther's explanation. They could then direct their hatred, along with their sense of betrayal, toward the true enemy.

Whatever the case, a new "seed" had been planted. What came next would take time and unremitting effort, just as it would for the Luther Fleet, which called itself Celestial Being.

After defending Coordinators primarily to Naturals, Luther's speech to the people of PLANT turned more plainly toward the idea of "recognizing the true enemy."

"So I firmly believe that there has never been any distinction between 'Coordinators' and 'Naturals'!

Are children born naturally to Coordinator parents themselves Coordinators?

Are children born to a Coordinator and a Natural themselves Coordinators?

For those who profit from starting wars and shift blame by persecuting minorities, if the people of space now called 'Coordinators' were to kneel and hand over all the wealth they produce without reservation,

then tomorrow, there might be a 'Green Earth' that swore to wipe out another group deemed 'unnatural.' And that new form of 'unnatural' might be found among you or me!

This 'story' has played out again and again over the past centuries. It won't come to an end simply because so-called 'Coordinators' exist or disappear. It's time we recognized and put an end to the true masterminds who profit from all this!

That's right! The true enemy who must be eliminated is the 'merchants of death' lurking behind the Earth Alliance—especially behind the Atlantic Federation, which leads it—with the military-industrial complex at their core!

Only by eliminating them and resuming space development, giving humanity greater opportunities beyond Earth while allowing our overcrowded planet's ecosystem to recover, can we truly create a 'blue and natural universe'!"

Now that he had said all this, it was only natural that the true ideals of Celestial Being—that is, the ideals Luther and the Luther Fleet supported and were determined to uphold—should finally be laid bare.

"My father, Zeon Zum Deikun, made a prediction decades ago.

'By entering and adapting to the harsh environment of space, humanity will advance further, biologically and socially, and become Newtypes.

All of humanity should migrate into space. This will bring about a transformation in our species. Once we overcome war and environmental pollution, we will establish a higher form of civilization.'

You may never have heard of this ideal, or you may think it's nothing but a fool's fantasy.

But we of Celestial Being have truly obtained the power of the 'Newtypes' my father Deikun foretold. We have sworn to use this new power to eliminate the military-industrial complex Logos, the masterminds behind the scenes; Blue Cosmos, their attack dogs; and their hangers-on and other ill-intentioned individuals—including Rau Le Creuset of ZAFT, the military organization belonging to PLANT!

What's shocking is that his true identity is actually a clone of Al Da Flaga, father of Mu La Flaga, a war hero of the Earth Alliance.

Because Al Da Flaga was dissatisfied that his son, Mu La Flaga, had not inherited his business acumen, he commissioned the renowned Doctor Ulen Hibiki to create a clone of himself.

But Al's excessive expectations and strict upbringing had the opposite effect, and he eventually died in a fire set by Creuset.

As for Creuset, who had a tragic childhood, he learned the reason for his origins in PLANT: his chromosomes were incomplete because he was a clone, causing him to age rapidly.

Clearly, both Mu La Flaga, nicknamed the 'Hawk of Endymion,' and Rau Le Creuset displayed combat skills as Naturals that matched or even surpassed those of Coordinators. Creuset even managed to keep his identity hidden until now, becoming a ZAFT Red Coat despite being a flawed Natural clone. It's absurd!

From this, one can only conclude that there are probably also Coordinators with poor abilities living on Earth as Naturals. Perhaps the leader of Blue Cosmos and a member of Logos, Chairman Muruta Azrael, is one of them. Maybe an unsuccessful alteration is why he despises successful Coordinators so much.

As for Rau Le Creuset, given his tragic life and the little time he has left, it's understandable that he would try to make the war more intense and prolonged, dragging humanity down with him. But as an ordinary person, I absolutely cannot accept that!"

In Luther's words—nine parts truth, one part fabrication—he not only made clear Celestial Being's determination to kill Logos, Blue Cosmos, and Rau Le Creuset, whom he named as the true culprits behind the war, but also revealed far too much information that he "shouldn't have known." In fact, this was also part of Luther's plan.

"Those of you who have listened this far must be wondering: how can we of Celestial Being know so many classified secrets?

I'll tell you here and now. The reason we can be certain that my father Deikun's prediction will come true, and why we founded the independent armed group Celestial Being, is that I myself, along with many of my loved ones, friends, and colleagues in Celestial Being, are the 'Newtypes' my father predicted.

The defining feature of Newtypes is intuition beyond that of ordinary people—even occasionally 'seeing time.'

Yes, just as you suspect, we possess a certain degree of precognitive ability.

This ability was enough to let us foresee the collapse of Heliopolis, but not enough to show us clearly what would happen in time to prevent the tragedy.

It is this ability that convinces us of Celestial Being that the future my father predicted—humanity reaching for the stars together—is inevitable. And we of Celestial Being will give everything we have to make that future arrive as soon as possible!

People around the world who long for peace and a new future, please join us!

As for Logos, Blue Cosmos, and Rau Le Creuset, we urge you to lay down your weapons now and stop fueling the war. Otherwise, when we of Celestial Being bring down our punishment, you will pay the price!"
