There's no going back to those days,
but I swear that now, I'll beat out your sorrow
I may not overcome it unharmed,
exhaustively marking the footprints
of the journey to meet you again
You once taught me that
the pounding of the heart is what drives us on
They haven't taken our future away,
and knowing that, I can go on
Just go on
As long as you smile, as long as you can sing,
that becomes everything that I desire
Wow
The courage you've given me, the kindness you've shown me,
gives me the strength to look forward and walk on
Both of you are well-skilled. However, that fine skill will prove fatal.
Ryuou, wait!
Ryuou!
What!?
O-oh, crap!
Ryuou!
Watch out, Doggie!
Stop! Are you trying to get yourself killed!?
Stop!!
Whoa!! The Mokona and the Ryuga have collided!
Syaoran-kun!
Doggie, I'm alive because you slammed your car into mine.
If you hadn't, right now, I'd be...
I owe you one.
Never mind that, I'm just glad you're not hurt.
You really are a nice guy, huh?
Syaoran-kun!
Princess...
Right.
Except for the Wind Egg, which is in last place,
the other machines have entered the third checkpoint!
The last hurdle is an area of geysers that erupt unpredictably!
Whoa! The Kuro-tan, a favorite to win,
forces his way though on his innate power!
At last, the Wing Egg catches up!
There's no telling when the water will come up, huh?
I can tell.
Oh, the Wing Egg has moved into second place!
Kuro-pon!
Kurogane-san!
Go on!
But...
You made up your mind to do this, right?
Go on.
Right.
Message for Miss Tomoyo.
As of yet, none of the other racers has acted suspiciously.
You have to take part in the race, or you can't get the prize.
So the culprit has to be one of these guys.
But since no one has raised any suspicions...
There has to be an outside accomplice.
It's possible that an accomplice is sabotaging things remotely.
Please check the EM wave transmission records at once.
So then, that goes for the last explosion, too.
This is the work of someone who is trying to get the feather.
The bastard! Just which contestant is the culprit!?
I still don't know. But the culprit isn't necessarily a contestant.
That was my thinking when I installed this.
So that's why, is it? Doggie, you're smart.
We've found the source of the transmissions!
But how do we get there?
We will take you to the medical tent at once.
Excuse me, but we'd like to go somewhere else.
Huh?
If you please.
The Ryobi, which got hung up at the third checkpoint, is catching up!
Moving up into the sky above would make this easier,
but that would be a risky gamble! The reason being,
above these ravines are particle beam guns, equipped with sensors,
and if you rise above a set altitude, you will be shot at!
Of course, the beams are set at their lowest level,
and there is no danger to the racers.
Knowing the risks, the Ryobi takes its chances!
Unfortunately, the Ryobi drops out at this point!
What is the matter?
Kuro-pon says he wants to speak to you, Tomoyo-chan.
It's about time you told us the truth.
Tell us.
I am the one who manipulated the race.
Oh, is that right?
Which is to say, I only tampered with the preliminary race.
I scattered the nanomachines into the race track airspace.
Why would you do such a thing?
I did it...
...in order to return Sakura-chan's feather to her.
A year ago, now, my company's excavations team discovered
an unusual energy source, in the shape of a feather, beneath the sea.
Shortly after that, I was told by a certain person
that the feather belonged to Sakura-chan.
But that was after we had gone public with news about the feather.
The unusual feather became an object of attention throughout the land,
to say nothing of neighboring lands.
As large-scale an enterprise as the Piffle Princess Company may be,
they still could not turn over a feather that had gathered the attention
of the world without explaining the reasons why.
And so, I made it the prize in this race.
By making it the race prize, they could turn it over without making waves.
What's more, it makes it possible to smoke out the ones who are after it.
However, it also meant exposing you all to danger.
And so, we are the ones who rigged things in the preliminary race
to make it look like there was cheating,
and had everyone increase their wariness.
So that's it. Or so I'd like to say, but what if we didn't win the race?
I was not worried about that.
This certain person said that I could place my faith in your strength.
I don't understand this! You keep mentioning this "certain person."
Just who is it!?
We've discovered the source of the transmissions.
Where is it?
The thing is...
From my company!?
To think that the culprit is in the Piffle Princess Company,
which is sponsoring the race!
Wreck the sanctity of a race, will you!? Just you watch what I do to you!
Once this ravine is cleared, the goal will be right in front of them!
Will victory go to the Snow White? Or will it go to the Spirit?
Oh, the Wing Egg is frantically closing the gap!
The Wing Egg has finally made its way to the top!
My next target is the Wing Egg.
Very well.
Target lock-on. Commencing particle beam power charge.
Wing Egg, say your prayers.
Stop!
W-what's this? What's going on?
You...
He's the Piffle president's secretary.
Eliminate the intruders.
How do you like that? You can't move.
You can watch on pensively from there, as your friend meets her end.
If I don't do something, the Princess will be...
Moko-chan, hold on!
Let me take care of this.
Huh?
I'll draw its fire.
But that's dangerous!
I have to pay you back for what you did earlier.
What!?
That's enough.
Doggie!
Princess, it's up to you now.
Where is the goal?
Puu...
If we don't hurry, they're going to catch up!
The wind...
Moko-chan, hold on!
Goal!!
In its first appearance, the Wing Egg has attained victory!
Smooch! Smooch! A celebratory smooch!
It's over?
That's right. Sakura, you won!
We won?
Uh-huh!
We did it!
Whoo! That's our Sakura-chan!
Kuro-pon, let's cheer for her together.
As if.
Come on, come on.
You've were hiding this so Sakura-chan wouldn't worry, right?
Kuro-sama, you're so cool for doing that, so whoo, whoo with me.
Would you stop it with the "whoo"!
Impressive, Sakura-chan. This is proof positive that the feather is yours.
That girl sure is amazing, huh?
Mm-hmm, she really is amazing.
But this isn't over yet.
There is still...
...one more culprit.
And so, we will now have the awards ceremony!
The winner of the Dragonfly Race,
looking prettier and soaring faster than anyone else,
the pilot of the Wing Egg, Contestant Sakura!
Mekyo!!
Congratulations.
Thank you.
You guys are close, huh?
Princess!
Princess...
So, you've come after all.
Get down!
Why, that bastard...
Ryuou!
Don't worry about me...
They are shock beams. He has just been knocked out temporarily.
Tomoyo-chan...
Hurry, Sakura-chan, take the feather inside you!
Tomoyo-chan, how do you know about that?
So you are the other culprit, are you?
That feather belongs to me.
It's no use.
What?
Mokona, nice!
That's one of Mokona's 108 secret techniques!
Super-suction power!
At this range, your shield won't work.
The police will be here shortly.
There's nowhere for you to run anymore.
Come quietly, or you're going to get hurt.
I seem to be quite out of luck.
To think that I'd be stopped by that strange creature,
just like I was in Jade Country...
I'm not a strange creature. I'm Mokona!
Just a minute. He just said "Jade Country," didn't he?
Yeah.
You don't mean...
What made you suspect me?
Then, you're the same Dr. Kyle that was in Jade Country?
In different worlds, there are other people who have the same faces.
However, there is no way to be sure they really are different people.
Remember that well.
He vanished. Or rather, he moved into another dimension.
Yeah.
Sure enough, it's just like that person told me.
I'd forgotten about that. Hey, who is this person you're talking about?
Princess Tomoyo.
W-what did you say!?
I will tell you everything.
About that feather. About the existence of other worlds.
And about travelers that will be coming in time.
Who are you?
I am you, from another world.
We have the same face, and the same spirit, but we live in different times.
There is more than just one world.
Please return the feather to its owner. But be careful.
There are those from other worlds who are out to get the feather.
The princess who appeared in your dream said that?
Yes.
So you're saying that the two of you tricked us, right?
It was a whole lot of trouble keeping up the act.
I'm not very good at this.
I was wracked with guilt for having lied to a woman,
and I thought my heart was going to burst.
Still, I had no idea that the accomplice was so close to me.
Thank you so very much.
I must apologize to Sakura-chan, too.
Does it hurt?
Huh?
Your left hand.
It's nothing.
In your dream...
Nah, never mind.
Something is bothering you.
It's nothing.
Please say whatever you have to say.
In your dream, how was Princess Tomoyo doing?
She was doing well.
When she spoke of you, she seemed to be very happy.
She probably said all sorts of ridiculous stuff about me.
No, she said that knowing you,
she was sure that you would recognize what true strength was.
Please get better soon, without doing anything else rash.
Your spirits are the same, huh?
Doggie! Do you have to go!?
Mm-hmm. But I'm sure we'll meet again.
All right. Make sure we do.
Mokona Modoki is all excited!
Puu!
We had fun.
Thank you very much.
Tomoyo-chan, we'll see each other again, right?
Yes. We still do not have the technology to cross dimensions
in this land yet, but my company will come up with it, just watch!
So I am sure that we will see each other again.
If you run into Princess Tomoyo in your dreams,
tell her something for me. "I'm coming back. Count on it."
Okay.
It appears that direct intervention did not work, either.
Or perhaps, it's best to say that this would be the natural outcome.
Are you planning to send them to that place?
I must see where it is that the miracle leads to.
Now, dump them into that land.
You haven't yet realized
that the two of us have the power to change even yesterday
For no reason, I'm lonely (lonely)
With tears streaming down my face
I'm missing my one and only (only)
The one I trace out in the sky, and that's you
Take my, take my hand, and let's go on together,
reach out, reach out your hand, and catch hold of the wind,
take my, take my hand, and do not be afraid,
hold my, hold my hand, and I can fly,
when I'm with you
Puu!
Hey, listen to this! Kuro-pon is so awful!
He tells me that if I know that there's another feather in a world
that we've already been to, to realize it when we're there the first time!
Puu, it's so aggravating! I'm going to tell Yuko on him!
Which land is it that Syaoran and the others have visited already?
Just wait until you see!
