My body starts to melt
it was waiting for this miracle
1-2-3-4-546-7-8
009
You've got the chance to express you
Here comes the imagination
Time, place
Truth and lies
Joy and sorrow
Kindness, hateness
Happiness, sadness
Smile, tears, friendship
Alone, together, birth
Death, sleep, fight
Space and oneself
In that promised place
I feel it once again
The spreading of a dream that's come true
I start running today too
That was a nasty dream.
W-What is this?
Episode 27: Little Visitors
Unusual phenomena continues to occur all over the world.
In Italy, the Leaning Tower of Pisa has been straightened out.
In Spain, the Sagrada Familia has been turned upside down.
Strange things like this keep happening and the cause is unknown.
Did you hear that, 007?
I hope this isn't some plot by Black...
It could be pranks. From God or aliens.
Well, we've come here to relax.
Let's not think about what's going on out there, just for today.
But...
He's been gone a long time.
Shall we pull him up?
But we don't have enough for everyone's dinner yet.
Still, 003 and 7 are tired of waiting.
All right, fine.
W-What is that?!
W-What is it?!
W-What happened?!
Something crashed near the tents!
Are you two okay?!
Yeah. Did you see that?
Do you know anything about it, Francoise?
Not yet.
Then we'll just have to check it out.
All right.
Dammit, why does something like this always have to spoil our holiday?
I know, right?
Is it a ship?
009, someone's over there.
What?
Joe, over there!
I wonder why they aren't saying anything.
They're probably scared of us.
No. I'm talking to them, little by little.
Via telepathy.
The girl is Lilo, the other one is Mel, and the baby like me is Fululu.
So they speak through telepathy?
Then 001, would you ask them why they're here and where they came from?
These children escaped from their world.
Escaped?
Yes, by spaceship, after invaders appeared in their world.
A spaceship? I see. Then maybe that broken mech was their ship.
Yeah, that's right.
And these kids are responsible for all of the recent weird phenomena.
What?!
They meant it as a message.
They were looking for our help.
Looking for our help? By making the Statue of Liberty do a handstand?
They must have amazing powers then.
So they're from another planet?
They understand the concept of a world,
but have no image of "outer space" in their memories of the journey here.
Then maybe they're from another dimension?
Another dimension?
This may sound wild, but you said they dropped out of a "whirlpool" in the sky?
Yes, that's true.
Their ship flew out of there.
After you contacted me, I did a little digging
and confirmed a spatial distortion in the area of that lake.
In fact, not only there.
The same thing happened more or less simultaneously in three other locations.
Three other locations?
The jungle in Brazil, the Republic of Shinbania in Africa, and...
Hey, are you okay?!
Here you 90. There's a lot more where this came from.
Hey, are you sure they can eat our food?
There's no way they wouldn't be able to eat my delicious dishes.
What do you think? Pretty good?
It's not to your taste?
I think they like it just fine.
These kids aren't very expressive.
001 said they use telepathy to communicate their thoughts and feelings,
so there's no need for them to use their facial muscles.
Still, even the worst actor in my old troupe showed more emotions than this.
I suppose the child 004 told us about is a friend of theirs.
He wouldn't have asked us to come to Germany otherwise.
He said the child's skin color is strange and has large ears, like these kids.
And that spatial distortion, too...
The location matches up.
If that broken vehicle you saw is theirs, then it's possible
that while traveling through dimensions, they had some trouble, it took damage,
and their group got split up, appearing in different locations on Earth.
Then the other two locations too?
002 and the others are going to check them out.
But there's still something I don't understand.
If those kids have so much power, why don't they fight back against the invaders?
009, that's impossible.
Impossible?
Where they're from, they never kill living things.
If they did, the mental sympathetic response would be so great
that they would die, too.
It would damage their minds beyond repair.
What?!
It's like an instinct that they have.
Sheesh. These buzzing mosquitoes are getting on my nerves.
Nothing yet, 005?
3rd parallel south, 19 minutes. We should almost be there.
Still, I wish Dr. Gilmore could've been more specific.
It's not like North and South America are right by...
Why'd you suddenly stop?!
Look.
What? It's just a waterfall.
Not that. The children over there.
Aren't they just local kids?
How could they have gotten there?
You've got a point.
Then let's ask them.
Hey! Don't scare them.
Hi there, kids. How did you get here?
What?!
W-What are you...
This is the area Dr. Gilmore indicated.
The children sense that the enemy is in pursuit.
What?!
Dr. Gilmore, we're getting an emergency message from 008!
What?! A giant sphere?!
Yes, and no children around.
It's heading for Shinbania!
Hey, where did you come from?
At least tell us your names.
They're quieter than you.
Come on, tell me.
Hey, doesn't that hurt?
You must be in pain.
Why don't you say anything?
Wait here, kiddo.
I'm gonna see whether it's safe to cross here.
That's why I told you to wait!
We're lucky the current isn't that strong.
What the...?!
Oh no! Piranhas!
What?!
002!
He said these children have psionic powers, right?
Yeah, I think so.
So why didn't he act back there with the piranhas?
He was probably too surprised to do anything.
You know?
I-I-I'm scared.
What?!
Dammit!
009!
Sorry I'm late.
Never mind, you saved me.
Dammit!
Don't!
It would just ricochet!
What?!
That's right.
001.
There's a spatial distorting force field around that sphere.
Then how can we attack it?
There's only one way.
I'll try using my power to open up a hole in the force field.
And when I do, you use Acceleration Mode...
Got it.
But will you be okay?
Can't Mel and the other kids use their power to help, too?
As long as they're not attacking it directly..
I thought of that, too.
But they said they can't.
Why not?!
They said even helping indirectly would cause them psychic feedback.
In other words, helping us would kill them.
Okay.
Then we have to do it all ourselves.
If we fail, that thing may light up again.
008, stand by in the Dolphin.
Right.
Crap. I wish I had Acceleration Mode, too.
Be careful, 009.
Are those the invaders?
No.
I think that's a weapon the invaders are controlling.
It's come to this dimension in pursuit of those children.
I'm gonna start.
Now!
Acceleration Mode!
We did it...
The Dolphin.
Took 'em long enough.
I was sick of waiting.
What's wrong? 002.
Nothing. It's nothing.
Good work, 002.
Sheesh. You picked us up last?
009, that child's expression...
This one's name is Pal.
And this one's called Alo.
002, how do you know their names?!
They told me.
They told you?
You talked to that child?
Yeah, he talked, little by little.
The enemy... is coming again!
What?!
That spiky sphere appeared again.
That's what they're saying.
003, find another place where there's a spatial distortion.
Okay!
31st parallel north, 11 minutes. 122nd parallel east, 17 minutes.
It's heading for Shanghai!
Shanghai?!
Please, let's get to my country as fast as possible!
Shanghai is burning!
M-My god...
The devastation...
Why destroy Shanghai?!
Its back...
...to normal!
That's impossible!
It can even control time?!
W-What's going on?
It brought the city back, and is destroying it again.
The childern are saying the invaders are playing.
Playing?!
To the invaders, murder and destruction is just a game.
That's barbaric...
Invading is just a game...
They reduced my city to rubble for fun?!
009, you know how powerful these guys are, right?
These kids could destroy that sphere.
But...
Hey, Pal, let's destroy that spiky sphere.
You can't?
Why not?!
009, we'll just have to do what we did before.
Right.
Let's use the smoke as cover as we descend.
Get as close as possible.
Why can't you do it, Pal?!
If that sphere chased you guys here, pan of the responsibility falls on you!
Do it, Pal!
There wasn't even a lingering trace of that scent
I'm surprised by the meaning of the pain
Like the red light from a towering building at night
My blinking heart won't turn off
There are things I don't want to forget and things that will be wiped away
Along with a vow
I can see
Dancing you and me
You can't fight? Hey, why not?!
In my day, I saw a lot of people like you
Kids who wouldn't stick up for themselves, but just go with the flow
That's no way to live!
Don't you need to unlock your own future?
You gotta fight! Your world is in danger!
Since it's come to this, I'll teach you.
