There's stardust over our heads Zujyou ni wa hoshikuzu
They fall into a bottomless pit Ochiru wa naraku no soko
When the curtain opens, it is the dark Makuakishi ankoku
Grand Guignol GURANGINYORU
Thanatos and Eros... TANATOSU to EROSU ga
Take one another's hands and dance in circles Te wo tori odorimeguru?
A carnival of desire Yokubou no KARUNABARU
Everyone is in the crowd Daremo ga mure no naka
Being lost in solitude Kodoku ni fukeri
And seeing forbidden dreams lkenai yume wo miru
While it has now been deserted, lma wa haioku
In the pleasure hall of the golden tower, Ougontou no yuugijyou de
Reminiscing sweet memories Amaki tsuioku
And searching from deep inside your mind for them Dokuro no ganka ni saguru
The rusted short sword Sabitsuku tanken wo
Is picked up and pointed toward my chest Hiroiage kono mune ni
And every time it is held up over my head Mukete kazasu tabi
The red blood Akaki chi ga
Seethes from the pain of living lkiru itami ni tagiru
A gorgeous paradise Gokusai no rakuen
A dictator's garden Dokusaisya no teien
A moment lasts 1001 nights Toki wa issen'ichiya
In the capital of evil Ma no miyako
Within the grotesque city, GUROTESUKU na machi ni
You're a sleeping princess Nemureru kimi wa oujyo
The sacrifice of a young girl Shoujyo SAKURIFAISU
Is made with transparent wings Toumei na tsubasa de
The innocent soul Muku naru tamashii
Welcomes the daybreak Reimei wo mukaeyo
The special transport heading to Jupiter City is ready.
Understood.
What happened to Lord Jupiter was very unfortunate.
I sympathize with your heartache.
He was... an old friend.
I've heard there's some uneasiness among the citizenry as well.
Their condolences will probably be a big comfort.
I'll soon be on my way.
Cross...
We confirm the annihilation of the target.
The mission was a success.
Understood.
Lord Volk?
Well done. You may leave.
What is it?
What are you thinking?
Apparently, the same thing you are.
That I'm taking satisfaction in the success?
Your eyes, hidden by the mask...
I can see what lies beneath those eyes.
What's reflected in my eyes is only what lies ahead.
Nothing's been started yet.
Everything will start from here.
Vesta...
Ow...
How dare you!
It's built so well, it looks like new.
That's some skill. Carry on.
Yes, sir!
I'm sorry, Lord Volk.
You seem to be all right.
Yes!
Thank you very much, Lord Jupiter.
Are you hungry?
I am, but I'm all right.
I see.
Grow up soon and support your parents.
Yeah!
Lt'll be all right! Leave it to me!
As long as those children are around, our job will never end.
No...
It mustn't end.
Yeah.
It's work... Until the very last day.
It's because this is going to be the end.
Won't you reconsider?
That's right. That's the kind of person you are.
The two of you are so similar.
Your judgment was correct.
Thanks to that, the unwelcome guest went away.
The real catastrophe will come later.
That was just a sign of what's to come.
A sign of the Moon, huh?
The gifts of this planet are not infinite.
To accept the coming of the Moon...
...is the equivalent of the promise of Death.
Once you take up the burden, you can never put it down.
You yourself decided to bear it.
In that case, I'll give you my full support.
Is that really all right with you?
I'm prepared for the worst.
From the moment we set foot on this planet,
it's been everyone's... destiny.
Everyone, huh?
There are only three of the Original Dozen left now.
Three? There should be four remaining...
Volk!
You'll attend tonight's dinner party, won't you?
You did have a drink with him in the past,
and had some discussions as well.
The new bud is barely showing signs of life, but it's definitely growing.
If you can... If you have some free time, of course...
I'd like you to look after this place.
All the records and samples are here.
Yes.
I'll see you later.
He's a talented man, a believer in our cause...
and has been a close friend, as well.
To Ares's departure.
So, you won't change your mind?
It's something I've already decided.
Where are you going now?
I'm going outside.
A dome city is like a giant cradle.
You can't stay there forever.
However, on the outside, there's hope. There's possibility.
I want to place my bets on them.
It's a fantasy.
The Moon will eventually come.
And with it, a catastrophe beyond imagination.
At that time, the outside...
...will turn into hell.
But inside domes, people can live.
They protect and foster the lives of everyone living on this planet.
That's what a dome city is.
The Moon is definitely coming.
There may even be a cataclysm. However...
That disaster will eventually pass.
What I'm looking at is the world after that.
While it may be scarce, the outside has air and water.
More than anything else, there's soil.
That's an infinite possibility.
There's no value in an ambiguous possibility.
What you're trying to do will just create unnecessary victims.
It's a dangerous fantasy!
Why don't you understand?
There's no blessed future for citizens in a cradle...
It doesn't exist.
The Earth no longer exists.
We have no homeland we can rely on.
A dome city is the final hope.
It's the last standing fort.
In that case, I'm going to protect it.
Was that why you did it?
For the sake of protecting the last fort?
Volk!
What did you do that day?!
That's not it! Volk was...
It was just... a decision.
I just made a decision. On which path to take.
Just because you sank one ship carrying the sign of what's to come.
The Moon will definitely come.
When it does, you'll spill blood.
I said I made a decision.
You're saying that's the right thing to do.
It's not whether it's right or wrong.
If there's a path, all you can do is follow it.
Peace inside a cradle... That's just slow suicide.
Let's someday make the seeds we've sown together grow in the soil.
Along with the additional seed of hope we picked up that time...
The emigration ship's?
Yeah.
But besides the coming of the moon,
we don't know what other disasters lie ahead.
But you're going anyway, aren't you?
Seeds only sprout in the soil.
If there's anything I can do...
There's a purpose you need to fulfill.
Volk is strong.
His strength is the pillar which supports this society.
However, strength alone can't save the human soul.
That's where you come in, Vesta.
For you.
I'm no longer an Original Dozen. Even the name Ares...
Cross...
It is time for the test.
There may be people who will lose their lives.
There may be people who will lose their family and friends.
But I'm still going to believe!
There is no sorrow which can't be endured.
There is no despair which can't be overcome.
When these tests are passed, I believe a new hope will sprout.
Let us pray... For the hope which will eventually come.
I'll believe. I'll believe everyone's prayers...
...will bring welcome news to this planet's future.
Everyone in Jupiter City...
Hope and the future are both within yourselves.
The departed Jupiter is definitely watching over us.
Goddess Vesta...
Oh, what thankful words!
Let us pray, for our future.
About the doll in question...
I'll go to retrieve her. I'm scheduled to depart in the morning.
Understood.
I'll meet up with Lady Vesta on her pilgrimage tour at the said spot.
Vesta, huh?
Oh, it's nothing. I'm counting on you.
Yes, sir. If you'll excuse me.
A pilgrimage is a trip to save one's soul. However...
The burden... must be heavy.
Metis City...
The Child of Destiny...
Using a microscope, KEMIKARU SUKOOPU de
I peeked into it until morning Nozoite asamade
There are no taboos TABUU nado nai
I can do as I please Oki ni mesumama
Loving it from an anatomical standpoint ANATOMIKKU ni aishite
The city is a gigantic Tokai wa kyodaina
Place to run experiments Jikkenjyou nano
Once you're no longer necessary Fuyou ni nareba
You'll immediately be erased Suguni kesareru
Hurridly living passionately Jyounetsu ni iki isoide
There's the Garden of Eden in the basement Chikashitsu ni EDEN no sono
The happiness you fight over is an illusion Ubaiau koufuku wa maboroshi
The Eve of tomorrow Mirai no IVU
Born from MEFISUTOFERESU no
A bone of Mephistopheles Hone kara umareta
To the androids who are incapable of crying Namidamo nai ANDOROIDO no
You are the goddess of depravity Daraku no megami yo
I'll take your apple and Anata no ringo
Lick it, bite into it, Namesasete kajirasete
And soak in the taste of sin Fukumasete tsumi no aji wo
