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
W-What is that?!
The girl is Lilo, the other one is Mel, and the baby like me is Fululu.
These children escaped from their world.
Episode 28: Fight for Tomorrow
If they fight, they die?
That's right.
It's cruel to badger these children into fighting.
Ridiculous. That's ridiculous.
Like that's even possible?
You can do it.
Hey, Pal, do it.
Do it, Pal!
Fight!
Stop it! Don't bully them.
What's gotten into you?
Why are you so insistent, 002?
You really think it's possible that if they fight, they'll automatically die?
There are times when you just have to fight!
Stop it, 002!
I'll try.
That boy? He's gonna help?
He and I will try to hold the force field open for as long as we can.
During that time, fire the ray gun at it for as long as you can.
Got it.
Here we go.
009!
Acceleration Mode!
They did it!
Pal!
Did he use his power too?
Not much.
At first, he used a bit, but it was too much for him.
After that, I got by with my power alone.
001!
Used up... too much power...
He fell asleep.
Are we really going?
They say that most of their friends over there were killed.
We can't just stand by.
And they've offered to take us there, too.
But fighting in that other world...
We're not gonna fight.
I know you're reading my mind, so I'll be clear.
You guys are gonna fight.
We'll just be there to help you.
It seems some of their friends are imprisoned there.
I guess they're keeping them around as playthings?
Our mission will be to rescue those people.
And if we can bring the children to their senses...
It's almost dawn.
If we're going, it had better be soon.
Before the enemy can spot us.
W-What are they?!
They teleported them here.
The vehicles that they use.
But they're busted!
Look!
We're able to change the form to whatever we like.
I've seen that form before somewhere...
The Nazca geoglyphs!
That looks exactly like one of them.
An armchair?!
Well, let's take off.
What's wrong?
The enemy appeared again.
Where, where?!
Over that ocean.
It seems the invaders are starting to pay attention to our world.
If we let them be, our world will suffer the same fate as theirs.
Pal, can you take us there?
We're already there.
What?!
What should we do?
Without 001
We'll have to rely on the kids' power!
I know, but we can't!
Impossible or not, they gotta do it!
002!
You can't force them, 002!
Don't get so worked up!
Don't get worked up?
I'm perfectly calm.
They need a kick in the ass!
Do it. This time you'd better do it!
If you kill the enemy, you die too?
Don't be a wuss!
002!
What are you gonna do? We're out of time.
Teleport this whole thing inside of their force field.
You guys can do that.
Do it!
Take this!
You're okay. You just fainted.
There, you see?
You did it.
002, you purposely pushed these kids to the breaking point.
Giving them a good scare was the fastest way to wake them up.
That's how Pal started talking to us, too.
I-I-I'm scared.
Seems like you were playing the "bad cop."
And opening their eyes to the "joy of war"...
Hey, Pal. Now take us to your land.
Taking off now...
All right, let's begin the journey.
We'll fly through the depths of space and time,
and who knows what sights are in store for us in the vaccum of space...
What? Don't tell me we're already there.
We're already there.
W-What?!
This is it?
You're not pulling my leg, are you?
Look!
We're definitely in their world.
And those are the invaders?
If we strike that big-ass ship...
No. Right now, we're not up to it.
The priority is rescuing their captured comrades.
002, stay here with the doctor and the kids.
Leave it to me. I'll make sure they use their powers.
Don't let 002 "drill sergeant" them too far.
Yeah, I know.
I can see them.
They're being held captive inside.
Are those loitering monsters the intruders?
No. Those things are like robots.
They're the only guards.
So maybe all we have to do is take them down?
They probably wouldn't expect anyone to attack them here.
Let's do it.
Then if it works out with 002...
Hurry up and use your powers.
You can do it!
You guys already made it over one hurdle.
What's one more?!
I guess I have to get rough with you!
002, don't put too much pressure on them.
That's enough, 002.
Brute force won't get us any results.
Not in my experience.
Don't be an idiot!
You saw for yourself what happened when Pal was attacked.
If fear could act as a driving force for them,
it already would have when the invaders came.
Then what caused Pal to start talking?!
What should we do?!
I don't know, but...
Then stay out of it.
I wanna teach these guys to fight.
Somehow I wanna teach 'em!
Easy.
All right, let's rescue them!
Wait!
Get away!
The enemy... The enemy is coming.
What?!
Yikes!
Oof!
Don't! It'll just ricochet!
Tch.
Is everyone okay?!
More or less!
I think we're in real trouble here.
We have to escape.
Dummy. Don't run away, Pal.
If you die, they'll chase after you again.
Fight, Pal!
Crap.
What's wrong?!
He's unconscious.
What happened?
We used our power to stop that light.
What?
Pal, they're just gonna attack again.
We'll stop the light again.
Yeah, and each time one of you guys will pass out.
Are you just waiting for them to kill you?!
You ordered the others to protect us and yourselves, right?
That alone is major progress for you guys!
But now you've gotten that far, you need to attack!
Do it!
Is there nothing we can do?
Without 001's power...
Don't, 002.
005!
Enough! Fear alone won't change someone's mind.
Then... Then what are we supposed to do?!
I hate people like you.
Why won't you even try to fight?!
I've seen a lot of kids like you guys.
Kids who couldn't resist their fate of being ignorant and poor,
kids who couldn't refuse when threatened unless they worked illegal jobs.
These were kids who couldn't fight, no matter what was done to them.
I saw so many kids who wouldn't say anything, but just look at me,
not even able to ask for help.
That's not right. That's no way to live.
It's no way to live!
Do it! Fight!
Fight to save yourselves!
Did you do it?
You did it, didn't you?
It seems these children needed more than just fear in their hearts.
Then too, Pal sensed your heart, 002, how you desperately wanted to save him.
The trigger was you calling out to him.
Maybe they didn't have anyone here who would give them fear,
but they didn't have anyone who would save them either.
What these children needed was someone who would offer them a sincere helping hand.
They're going to attack again!
Attack, attack!
What just happened?!
Did those kids have a change of heart?
Attack, attack!
Look! The invaders' ship!
Is it gonna attack?
No, it's escaping!
From the kids' ship!
What?!
Attack, attack!
Hey, don't exhaust yourself, Pal.
I'm okay. This won't take long.
Attack, attack, attack, attack!
They crushed the ship!
Blimey!
Let's go!
Now's our chance to save them!
It's really all back to normal?
Are you guys heading out right away?
Some of the enemy is still there.
Be careful.
Leave it to me!
I swear we'll return our world to the way it was, too!
Thank you for everything.
Thank you.
Goodbye.
Take care.
They've got a lot of confidence now.
I bet they will make their world just like it was before.
Goodbye!
Take care!
That form...
That's...
That's the form they chose to survive from now on.
That's the only fighting form they know.
Shall we go?
That turned out well.
Did it really turn out well?
They learned how to fight, which means that just like us,
those children will experience grief, hatred, and fury.
Let's go, 003.
Okay.
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
The blue sky, Mother Earth.
Tune in to the breath of every form of life.
Humans have lived with nature from the very beginning.
They became able to sense the heartbeat of the land.
But as time passed, people followed their desires and as a result,
this land, this planet is being spoiled.
Have you appeared to tell us that?
