Aika!
Speak to me, Aika!
Hey!
Hand the woman over!
Shit!
Reinforcements...
A-Aika-san...
Idiot!
What do you think you're doing?
If you go out there, you'll just end up getting caught, too.
Just wait here and see what happens.
I figured this would happen!
Bandora!
Hey!
What's the big idea?!
Oh, well...
They're gone.
Don't just say, "They're gone!"
What'll I do now?!
Good question.
Everything about you is everything to me.
I don't want to hold back anymore!
I remember. We got G.D.
Let's follow the course where our curiosity leads...
...and I know a wondrous power will be born.
Silent City. We're Salvagers.
Let's go out sometime and try to find...
...the skyscrapers in the sunken cities below.
Don't be afraid. Come together.
As the sun shines down upon us...
...now, let's try to recover...
...everything that's been lost!
Let's journey beyond time!
I miss you! I want to take it to you!
I don't want you to forget about me.
I take you! Because there is...
...a shining world that no one's ever seen!
Let it go!
Forever...
Well?
You coming or not?
Look...
Just close the duct after me, okay?
I'll go! I'll go!
I'll go with you!
Aika...
What on Earth are you...
Ultranate metal...
I take it she isn't naked 'cuz you two were having fun, right?
Bandora...
Do you know something about this?
A little.
Even with their lame-ass shooting, they managed to hit something!
I'll put us down on some land close to us.
Propulsion system control.
Disengaged.
Separation bolt.
Arming.
Separation!
Separation light, green!
Continue pitch up.
Flight module, confirmed.
Docking procedure, start.
Roll, pitch, and yaw, dead on target.
Docking in seven...
Six...
Five...
Four...
Three...
Two...
One...
Capture!
Hull latch, engage.
Lagu engine flight module, docking completed.
Emit Lagu energy.
Yes, sir.
So...
Who are you, anyway?
Where are we going?
C'mon!
Tell me!
Are you listening?
Listen, you...
You're a spy and you carry a business card?!
And what is an "lnternational Crisis Management Treaty...
...Authority Organization, World Secret Agent League...
...Special Expeditionary Foreign Affairs Division," anyway?!
Wow.
A class A agent, huh?
So, where are we going, Miss Class A Agent, Maypia-chan?
To the Regulus' hangar bay.
We may be able to lose the guys after us and escape.
No wonder you're a class A agent!
You're so cool!
Be quiet and follow me, or I'll leave you behind!
Right, right.
Aika!
So, that's how Gozo got hurt then?
There are all sorts of rumors about that guy.
He never talks about it.
Nobody knows the truth about him.
Aika!
Are you okay?
Where's Rion?
Well, about that...
Aika...
Where is Rion?
Where's Rion?!
What's happened to her?!
There was nothing I could do.
I only managed to rescue you.
You left her behind!
Aika!
What do you think you're doing, Aika?!
I have to save her!
Rion...
I have to save her!
Aika!
You're still not back to full strength.
Don't push yourself.
Rion...
I have to save Rion.
Aika...
All right. We'll do it.
But first, you have to recover.
Of course!
Food!
Let's have something to eat!
Cut it out, you old hag!
You're scaring the fish away!
Cut the crap, Bandora!
You're set on going back?
In the end, you're just a little kid at heart.
This "I've gotta save her" line.
Just 'cuz you're hot for the girl!
You're just dreaming!
You're gonna die! Die!
You're just gonna die!
Shut up!
I don't care!
I'd rather die saving her!
Oh, really? Oh, really?
Go on. Go on.
Just one thing, though!
I am not going with you!
Fine!
Don't come!
I won't let you come!
Fine!
l'm outta here!
I see.
I'll head out there myself then.
Keep Aika from doing anything crazy before I arrive, Bandora.
You heard what your boss said!
Data on the Lagu.
I don't want to owe you anything.
I hate your style!
Rion...
Big Brother...
I didn't want you to see me fail like that...
Enough.
Don't worry about it.
I've a favor to ask of you.
I made this based off of the one that woman had.
Your very own, personal Ultranate metal.
Several times more powerful than the original.
You'll wear it, won't you?
Good girl.
It suits you so well, Nena.
Does it, Big Brother?
Nice, Nena...
Yes?
Roger.
Mr. Hargen...
We have a message in from the Naval Chief.
Couldn't wait any longer, eh?
I demand it once more.
Hand over the Lagu, Hargen.
I'm afraid I can't.
We're prepared to use force, if necessary.
As you wish.
That material is too valuable to give to stupid apes like you.
I will put it to much more effective use.
Why, you...
You won't get away with...
I've no time to listen to the chattering of apes.
Geez!
What's the matter?!
After you set it to blow...
...get out on your own.
Good luck.
Maypia?
W-Wait!
C'mon! What's wrong?
Wait!
What's the big idea?!
Cabin pressure!
Auto!
Oxygen regulator!
Normal!
Flood lights!
On!
Repressurization switch!
Safe!
Captain...
Mr. Hargen's coming in.
Right.
Roger.
Onboard speakers, on plus 2.
To all crew and tech staff...
This ship is now moving into the operation's final stage.
After we reach the stratosphere...
...we'll hit the Earth with the Lagu Beam.
However...
This operation will not result in destruction!
Lagu energy rolls back the effects of entropy...
...and will result in the purification of the entire Earth!
I repeat...
This operation will destroy nothing!
Since the dawn of time, humanity has inflicted great suffering upon Mother Earth.
We now perform a ceremony for the atonement of all mankind!
Catherine!
C'mon! Hurry up!
Would you get off of me?!
Well, you pulled me down here, didn't you?
Glasses, glasses... Where are my glasses...
This is the room from when we...
The Lagu reactor.
This is the ship's main power source.
Eight ships sighted ahead of us!
In formation, with a heavy ship in the center!
They've come.
Sound battle stations!
Lagu impingement shield, on!
Ships sighted blocking our course.
I think it's the national fleet.
Take us in!
Aye!
Lagu engines, ahead full!
Yikes!
The output's rising!
How do I stop this thing?!
Enemy ships have opened fire!
Evasive action!
It doesn't matter.
I'll teach those apes a lesson.
Return fire!
Ready all guns!
Target the central ship of the formation ahead!
Plot firing solution!
Enemy shots, impacting!
Are they...
They got us!
Direct hit, forward deck!
No damage.
Enemy vessels, firing second salvo!
Ready main guns!
Load main guns with Lagu shells!
Firing solution, input!
Fire main guns!
Impact in 24!
Enemy shots, impacting!
This is Maypia!
What's with this bombardment?!
I'm still on board!
This was a political decision.
Shit!
They're abandoning me!
Direct hit, astern to port!
No damage!
Attention!
Our shots are impacting!
Main ship, vaporized.
#4 light ship, dead in the water.
The remaining vessels are retreating.
It worked!
We did it!
It worked!
There it is.
So, what are we supposed to do?
Take us in close.
Don't blame me if this doesn't work!
All hands to stations!
Going to flight configuration!
Main wing, takeoff position!
Gear, down!
What's up with that?!
It just turned into a rocket!
You mean that thing can fly?!
Leak check.
Cockpit pressure?
Auto.
Cabin pressure?
Auto.
Air data processors?
On.
Anti-ice?
On.
Takeoff checklist, completed.
Until we reach rotation speed, engine failure will cancel takeoff.
Any failures after that and we'll perform an emergency landing.
Right.
My control.
Your control.
Runway, clear!
Clear for takeoff!
Holy Fox, launch!
Power set, takeoff position!
Power, set!
All right.
Engine lamp, normal.
Are they going to fly?
Hey.
What do you mean, "fly"?
What's gonna fly?!
C'mon!
What did you do?
Tell me!
Up! Look up.
Engine bay doors, open!
What?
If they stay open in a gravity field, they'll be damaged!
Shut them, quickly!
I can't!
The emergency system in the engine bay has been activated!
We can't override it from here!
I'll go.
One aircraft, approaching from astern!
Forget it!
Let it go!
See you!
What do you mean, "See you"?!
What about me?!
Sorry...
...but this is only built for one.
Too bad.
Why, you...
Hey!
Lemme go, you idiot!
Like hell I'll let go!
You... You...
You...
Maypia!
She's dead...
Well, serves her right!
Trying to escape by herself...
Okay.
Just let us down like this.
Hurry up...
A-Aika...
Aika!
Gust!
Aika!
What are you doing?!
Get going!
It's closing!
We'll stay here!
VR!
Rotation!
No!
Stop it!
You pervert!
Hey!
What?
You still alive, Gust?
This is...
We meet again.
Welcome back.
Let's go out into the bustling city.
I just want to slip off my boots and walk along with the wind.
That feeling of honesty that I had forgotten...
...is reawakened with just a single deep breath.
As I sit by the window in the moonlight...
...with my chin cupped in my hand...
...I find myself thinking of you.
Though I have kept it in my heart for such a... such a long time...
...without thinking, I look back at the person I used to be.
I know, oh, I know, it's because I'm much more naive than I look.
Always wavering, caught somewhere between cowardice and arrogance.
Since those feelings are growing stronger and stronger inside...
...I gradually feel that there's a new tomorrow for me.
Though I may hesitate, though I may dream...
Though I may keep taking the long way around...
...when I eventually reach that place...
...I want to be met by your smiling face.
Now that I've gotten back on board Hargen's ship...
...I see that Nena has been changed by the power of the Ultranate metal.
In the face of its unstoppable attack...
...my body can only cry out in pain.
What's wrong?
You want to throw your life away?
Meanwhile, Hargen's terrifying project begins to move...
...with the aim of recreating the greatest earthquake in history.
We shall build an ideal human civilization!
A Utopia!
Forget it!
You can't make me do what you want!
Aika, next trial:
A Flower Blooming in Space.
A shining aurora leads the way to destruction.
