Welcome back.
Ultranate?!
But...
That's impossible!
All orbital attack satellites have been destroyed, sir.
Excellent.
Proceed to stage 3 of the operation.
Aye, sir.
Proceeding to stage 3.
Lagu energy, switch to line A!
Open transmission antennas!
Transmission antennas, open!
Adjusting angles.
Unit 1, plus 0.8...
Unit 2...
Just what are you trying to do?
You want to know?
Adjustment, complete.
Right.
Mr. Hargen?
Commence transmission of Lagu energy.
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...
Flower Blooming in Space
Now, then...
Will you please hand over the data disc?
We don't have time to be talking about that!
Aren't you going to do anything about that battleship of his?!
The military has thrown together a space battle fleet that's preparing to scramble to destroy the battleship.
Destroy?
Then, what about Aika and Rion?!
Are you just leaving them to die?!
I don't recall guaranteeing your lives on this mission.
What did you say?!
Wait!
Please give us a chance!
Please!
I'll take care of that ship even if I die doing it!
So, please!
Give us one more chance!
Lagu is normally located at various points deep within the Earth.
It moves freely, carried in the mantle's convection currents.
The great disaster that occurred 20 years ago happened when...
...by accident, a great deal of Lagu surfaced simultaneously.
My plan is to beam Lagu energy down from orbit...
...and cause the Lagu in the Earth to all simultaneously surface.
In short, my aim is to artificially create an earthquake...
...hundreds of times more powerful than the one that struck 20 years ago.
But if you do that...
The civilization of those foolish apes shall return to nothingness.
Along with the apes themselves, of course.
I-If you do that, you won't survive either!
The environment wouldn't support human life after that!
Have no fear.
The environment will be regenerated.
That is the aim of this project.
Regenerated?
Yes.
That's why this ship also carries the DNA sets of several thousand species of animals and plants.
The earth and seas shall be reconstructed.
A new ecosystem will form.
And then, we shall descend to the new Earth.
We shall build an ideal human civilization.
A Utopia!
Utopia?
And by any chance...
As you've guessed...
The ones to build Utopia shall be me and the women aboard this ship!
By the way, Miss...
How about it?
Would you be interested in passing on my genetic material to a new generation?
Absolutely NOT!
What is with you?!
No matter how you say it...
...all you're after is to create a harem you can have all to yourself!
Take her away!
Yes, sir!
Why, you...
You can't make me do what you want!
You gold-buttoned girly man!
You curly-haired pervert!
And where'd you get that stupid uniform?! You drag!
I have to pay you back for last time!
I've gotta do something. I've gotta do something.
I've gotta warn Daddy and Aika-san somehow.
Shut up!
Don't talk! Just walk!
Now, stay here and keep quiet.
Rion!
Is that you, Rion?!
But why are you wearing...
Oh, no!
Come on...
Rion!
Are you all right? Rion!
Wake up, Rion!
You sound just like Aika-san...
Aika-san!
Is that really you?!
Indeed, it's me.
Oh, Rion...
I'm sorry I took so long.
I'm so happy!
You really came back for me?
What do you mean?
Of course, I did!
You're my precious partner.
Forgive me.
If I hadn't messed up, this wouldn't have happened to you.
No!
Don't say that! Don't say that!
I'm just happy that you came back for me!
Rion...
Aika-san!
Aika-san! Your arm!
It's all right.
Just a little scrape, that's all.
You mean...
Now that I've found you in one piece...
Let's get out of here!
So, that's what Professor Hargen is up to.
Yeah.
Unless we do something, Earth's in big trouble.
That's why I...
I know...
But first, let's concentrate on escaping.
Okay?
Follow me.
But...
Aika-san!
Sorry.
Where's the escape pod?
Show us!
M-Miss Nena!
What is she?! A cyborg?
Aika-san!
Rion!
You've really got some guts, don't you?
Aika-san!
Hey, you!
What are you doing to Aika-san?!
Aren't you going to ask for help?
What's wrong, huh?
What?!
No way...
Aika-san...
Rion...
If I could have, I never would've let you see me like this.
Forgive me for hiding this from you till now.
It's... It's...
Cool!
That is just so totally cool, Aika-san!
Too cool!
So... How do you transform?!
How amazing!
It's wonderful!
Like something out of anime!
Hey...
Why didn't you ever tell me about something this great?
People can be so mean! Even you, Aika-san!
Um, well...
So... How does it work?
Hey!
Quit ignoring me!
Small craft approaching!
What?
I think it's a national space force vessel.
Orders, sir?
We've no time to waste.
Draw it in, then destroy it with one shot.
Strange.
They must've noticed us, but they're doing nothing.
Look sharp, Bandora!
Right.
Craft has collided with antenna #3!
Antenna heavily damaged!
Nonfunctional!
Transmission output down by 25%!
What?!
Compensate the output loss with the remaining 3 antennas!
But sir!
That'll put a too high load on them!
It's all right!
It'll still be within their specifications!
All right!
We'll transfer inside there, now.
Bandora, take us over to the nearest hatch!
Gotcha!
The vessel has docked with us! Hatch #7!
Get an armed squad down there!
Aye, aye!
Hey! Cut it out!
I said cut it out!
What's the big idea?!
You were in the way!
Quit daydreaming!
What's the big idea, forcing me to come with you?!
Hey! Are you listening to me?!
Here!
Watch your back.
Right.
Gust...
Hurry!
Right!
Now, look...
Gust...
You handle setting the explosives.
I'll look for Rion and Aika!
Sure!
Later!
Sorry, but would you show me the way, Maypia?
Sure, sure.
I'll show you.
Just gotta show you the way, right?
For crying out loud...
Come on.
Let's use this chance to get to the escape pods!
You won't get away!
Reprogramming, complete.
Antenna load is still within spec.
It's working.
Schedule loss?
At most, 13% behind.
Excellent.
Mr. Hargen...
Now, what?
Fighting has broken out in Area 58.
The ship is taking considerable damage.
Route the video over here.
Wha...
Show me the lab section room!
Lab section room, on screen.
When did that...
Carry on with the plan!
Aye, sir!
Are they here?
No!
All right.
You guys head for Area 69.
Aye, aye!
There!
What the hell?
What?
What's wrong?
Have you found them?
Well, yeah... I've found them, but...
What the hell is going on here?
You know where it is?
Yeah.
All right!
Let's go!
Freeze!
Just like that, slowly raise your hands!
It can't be!
Why?!
My Ultranate is supposed to be far superior to yours!
But then, why?
ls yours better than mine?
I don't accept it!
I absolutely don't accept it!
What's this?
Her body can't take the Ultranate any longer.
Normally...
...the fusion of Ultranate and a human is extremely dangerous.
No matter how strong a mind or body they may have...
...a sudden fusion will always destroy the human host.
Help me, Big Brother!
Can't we do anything for her?
Unfortunately, it's too late.
There's nothing we can do.
That is so gross!
Let's go, Rion.
Yeah, right!
Rion...
Rion!
So, you can already repel the force of this gun.
The adaptability of Ultranate metal is greater than I expected.
Ultranate metal...
Before the Great Disaster, researchers were working on...
...a fluid metal life form to enhance physical strength.
Normally, it could have the form of a piece of clothing.
When activated, it would then spread over the body...
...to a thickness of only a few microns...
...to provide armor protection, speed, and strength magnification.
If it had been successful, it would have been a new era in the art of weapons design.
But its development was very difficult.
Most researchers lost their lives...
...and the project was thought to be a failure.
There were reports of a single success with a young girl.
Unfortunately...
...it was thought that she and the data on her were lost after the disaster occurred.
That young girl, Miss Aika...
It was you, wasn't it?
Unfortunately, I won't be able to use Nena anymore.
So, now, Miss Aika...
I'll make you work for me in her place!
You still have that much strength left?
For Aika's sake, you must be destroyed!
No! Stop it!
Stop!
I'm still so immature at heart...
Lagu resonance, confirmed.
Mr. Hargen...
We've confirmed Lagu resonance.
Understood.
I'll be back in a little while.
Miss Aika...
This time, I'll make you mine.
An explosion?!
We had explosions on the antenna joint and several other in the ship!
It's sabotage!
Hurry! This way!
Now, what?!
I've got you, Big Brother.
N-Nena...
Now, you'll be mine and mine alone.
Let me go, Nena!
Oh, no.
I'll never let you go.
Let me go, Nena!
No, no!
If I do, you'll just run off somewhere!
I won't do it!
D-Don't be silly!
I won't go anywhere.
I'm always there by your side, aren't I?
Liar!
Oh, Big Brother...
Now, you can always care for me.
Always love me.
Because you see...
I love you more than anything!
No! Don't do it!
Please don't do it, Nena!
The Lagu energy is reversing!
The main cable has burned through!
Close all connections to the Lagu reactor!
Switch back to standard power!
Locking out all reactor connection circuits.
It's no use!
I can't lock them out!
The energy in the reactor is backflowing!
What's wrong?
You don't care for me anymore, Big Brother?
Aren't you supposed to love your little sister?
Rion!
We've lost the transmitters!
No!
I won't do it!
Big Brother is mine!
I won't... I won't give him to anyone!
Aika!
Back on active duty, sir?
Indeed!
Somebody forced me into it!
Big Brother...
Big Brother... Big Brother...
Big Brother...
Mr. Hargen!
Mr. Hargen! Please respond!
It's no use!
There's no response from Mr. Hargen!
Captain!
The Lagu reactor is out of control!
It'll destroy the ship!
Lagu resonance has been completely lost.
The operation has failed.
Captain...
All hands, abandon ship!
Aye!
Hurry!
Get to the escape capsules!
Get going!
You can still run!
Right!
All gunnery personnel have evacuated!
Captain!
Let's go.
What are you waiting for?!
Come on! This is a short cut!
I'm running as fast as I can, you know!
What does Rion eat to make her so heavy?!
You just don't get enough exercise, sir.
You say something, Aika?!
Nothing, sir.
Are you guys all right?
We were getting tired of waiting!
Oh! My sweet honey!
Gust! You're alive?
We're outta here!
Huh?
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.
