The episode titled "The Thundering Darkness" is the thirty-eighth episode of the first season of the anime series Gundam Seed Destiny. The plot follows the continued conflict between the Earth Alliance and ZAFT, with the main characters finding themselves at the forefront of the battle.

The opening scene is set in space, with the protagonists Athrun and Meyrin aboard the ship Minerva. The crew is monitoring the surroundings, preparing for an imminent attack from the Earth Alliance's forces. As the enemy ship comes into view, the crew springs into action, with Athrun piloting one of the mobile suits to fight back.

Meanwhile, on the Earth, a team from the Earth Alliance and ZAFT come together to collaborate in hopes of reaching a peaceful agreement. However, their discussion is cut short as they receive word of the ongoing attack in space. The group is forced to put their discussion on hold and figure out how to save their respective forces from the oncoming danger.

The battle in space rages on, with both sides struggling to gain the upper hand. The Minerva takes a severe hit, and it seems as though the end is near for the crew. Suddenly, a mysterious figure appears out of nowhere on the ZAFT side. This character, who only goes by the name Phantom Pain, has a strange, dark aura about him that is unlike anything the main characters have seen before.

Phantom Pain begins to decimate the Earth Alliance forces with ease, striking fear in the hearts of all who witness his power. Despite their best efforts, the Minerva is outmatched, and it falls under his control.

Back on Earth, the group working towards peace watches in horror as the battle takes a turn for the worse. They realize the only way to save the situation is to launch their own mobile suits and enter the fray. The characters from both sides team up to take down Phantom Pain and the Earth Alliance forces.

The battle is intense, with both sides taking heavy losses. However, with the combined efforts of the Earth Alliance and ZAFT teams, they are ultimately able to take down Phantom Pain. The victory is bittersweet, as they have lost many of their own, but it is a much-needed win in the face of the ongoing war between the two factions.

As the episode comes to a close, the main characters reflect on the battle and the current state of the war. They realize that while they may be fighting for different sides, they all share a common goal: to put an end to the fighting and bring about peace for all. The episode ends on a hopeful note, with the characters determined to keep fighting for what they believe in, no matter what challenges lie ahead.
