Kip. 13: Return of the Saint
With the whereabouts of Massoud Rachmadi unknown, Azadistan falls into a state of civil unrest. Reviewing the previous battle, Lockon reveals the possibility that there may be a third party aside from the Union-Azadistan forces and Celestial Being. After eavesdropping on Graham and Billy investigating the possible site of where missiles had been launched by Ali Al-Saachez, Setsuna deduces the location of where Ali's terrorist forces are located. Setsuna and Lockon, with the assistance of Hong Long, attack the terrorist hideout. Setsuna manages to hold his own against Ali, who escapes from the battle, while Lockon and Hong Long rescues Rachmadi. Deciding to display a show of bravado, Celestial Being authorizes Setsuna to deliver Rachmadi to the Azadistan royal palace with the Exia unarmed. Despite pressure from present Union and Azadistan forces, the hostage release is successful. Marina asks the pilot of Exia if he is truly Setsuna, to which Setsuna vaguely encourages Marina to take up the fight for peace in Azadistan. (Source: Wikipedia, edited)
