Do you understand?
You almost got Captain Conrad killed!
Everything will be all right.
Leave it to us.
Lee-san...
Opening your cockpit during battle,
and even trying to make contact with an enemy pilot.
Just what the hell were you thinking?!
It was Hina.
It doesn't matter who it was!
Zogilia is the enemy!
Can't you differentiate between who to fight and who to protect?
Hina is not the enemy.
She was the one who saved me before.
You're still spouting that nonsense?
Don't you think that's enough, Dio?
You're still injured from the forced Decoupling, you know?
But…
It's not like you to get all fired up at an amateur.
That's right.
Even if he could pilot a Valiancer, this guy is still a civilian.
You shouldn't be forcing him to follow military teachings.
I understand.
C'mon now.
Thanks to you we didn't have to swim.
Lee!
Hey, go and see him.
Aoba-kun.
Lee-san.
Hey, I see you're okay.
Yeah.
Uhm…
If you weren't there, we would've both been killed.
Hey. Don't talk too much.
You are our savior.
So don't worry about me. I'm fine.
I thought I told you not to talk. Let's get going now.
This ship will now be heading towards Narashino Base to repair and resupply.
Maintain the priority patrol deployment. Be wary of the surroundings.
Multi-Purpose Tactical Mothership
Trident
Please wait, Secret Service Agent Margaret.
Making a Decision
/////||||/
Making a Decision
I can't accept detaining Second Lieutenant Riazan to the brig.
Making a Decision
It was the enemy pilot who recklessly tried to initiate contact.
The Second Lieutenant wasn't at fault.
Based on our records,
the enemy pilot called the Second Lieutenant by her name.
How do you explain this fact?
If letting the enemy know of our name is a crime,
then I'm also a criminal.
The biggest crime she has committed is arousing my suspicions.
Lieutenant Colonel.
Riazan... Hina doesn't have any connection with the enemy.
I know.
But, Hina is now..
I'll do everything in my power to have her released as soon as possible.
Understood.
Narashino Base
Are you sure about letting him leave the ship?
It's fine. He said he was from Narashino, right?
That's exactly why.
It appears that he has some connection with the Zogilia's pilot.
And to protect the classified information we have to...
You needn't worry.
He's being monitored.
You can come out now, Mayuka-chan.
I've noticed you already.
Was it that obvious?
You don't have to worry. I'm not going to run away.
Well, this is also my mission.
You're a soldier, after all.
Well, where do you want to go?
Since I don't have to hide anymore, I can show you around.
You don't have to. I've lived in this town my whole life.
That being said, that was 70 years ago.
You're still going on about that?
But it's the truth.
Then you will really need my help.
The town is quite different from how it was 70 years ago.
Is that so?
Yes!
Will Mayuka be okay?
To think that she volunteered herself.
Mayuka's taste in men is a bit surprising.
Isn't that a fact?
Eh? But…
I'll be leaving my position. Take care of the rest.
Yes, Vice Captain.
This is my house?
Yes.
From the address you gave me, this is the right place.
In order to expand the Narashino Base, the military acquired this area.
Due to the war situation, that never happened.
What happened to my family?
Tsubasa.
Tsubasa-san?
My sister.
Even if it is 74 years later, she would still be...
88 years old.
Unfortunately, there is no residential data of "Watase Tsubasa".
The database had many problems due to the war.
I'm sorry I'm not able to help you.
Let's go.
Okay.

Wait for me.
Here.
Grab my hand.
O-Okay.
Be careful.
Are you okay?
Y-Yes.
Thank you very much.
The school was heavily damaged
during the second Far East war that took place eight years ago.
After that, the school was permanently closed down.
I see.
The war, huh?
That is...
Aoba-san?
I see.
This place is still intact.
Do you know? That's called a baskbetball.
Of course.
I was on the basketball team.
Basketball's been around since the olden days?
The olden days, huh?
It's okay. It is the truth.
Yes!
Damn it, I lost.
You really don't go easy.
Yumihara?
Call me Hina.
Hina?
Aoba, believe in me.
Don't get any closer! You are Zogilia's enemy.
It's like they're two different people.
However, I'm certain that was Hina.
Both my school and even my house are gone.
What should I do now?
Aoba-san
I can't see it. The light vortex.
Light vortex?
Yup.
When you enter it, it lights up brightly.
And when I came to, I was already in this world.
There really isn't one here.
Why was it there in the first place?
There doesn't seem to be any cars driving by.
There should be more residents living around here.
You're about to go into the future now.
Dio is waiting.
Mayuka-chan.
Yes?
Is Zogilia far away from here?
Well, it is far.
It's all the way to the other side of the sea.
Why'd you ask?
I knew it. The only way to find out is to ask Hina
Hina?
Are you going to Zogilia?
Is it impossible? Dangerous, perhaps?
Of course! Zogilia is our enemy.
Moreover, it's possible that they've already seen your face from the previous battle.
And if they have seen it already, you may get captured or even killed.
I see. You're right.
We're in the middle of a war.
Isn't it obvious?
What the heck am I saying?
Aoba-san...
Thank you very much.
What's the matter?
Would it be alright if I no longer pilot a Valiancer?
Right now, Cygnus is the only place I can return to.
But going back there means I might have to pilot a Valiancer again, right?
But if I were to do that,
someone will get hurt again because of me.
Just like Lee-san.
I can't... I can't take that...
Aoba-san.
When you first appeared, I was really grateful.
Out of nowhere, you matched with Dio.
Even though it was your first time,
you had an unbelievable Emphater level in Coupling.
And even managed to save us twice.
Aoba-san is...
I've been thinking that you may be our savior.
Mayuka-chan...
It may be wrong to ask this of you, since you're not a soldier.
But can you come with all of us?
Please pilot the Valiancer again.
We all need you.
I need you to fight.
Thanks to you we didn't have to swim.
You are our savior.
I understand.
Let's go back to the Cygnus.
Yes!
You still want to fight with Luxon?
Yes.
I can't go back to the past,
and my home and family are gone.
There are people who need me here.
I want to help them.
I see.
And...
piloting Luxon during a battle may also give me the chance to meet Hina once again.
I still have many things I would like to ask of her.
If she fights back as an enemy, what will you do?
I don't know.
However, I believe in Hina.
Well, it's fine with me.
Captain!
Um?
That guy...
No.
It's nothing.
A boy from the past.
It sounds pretty good, right?
Elvira-kun.
As the officer in charge of the Coupling System, what do you think?
His Emphater level with Dio is by far the greatest.
I can't think of any other pilot more suitable for Luxon.
Well then, as for your position...
Wow, that suits you well.
Though, I'm not sure about you as a Second Lieutenant.
Well, it's more along the lines of Reserve Second Lieutenant during a battle or something like that.
More importantly, how are your wounds?
Ah, I don't have any broken bones and my brain is fine.
I'll get better if I rest for a while longer.
I'm pretty tough, aren't I?
Thank god.
But you know,
you shouldn't forget this.
It's a miracle that we were both able to come back alive.
Which is why you should never do such a thing again.
I don't want go through something like this again.
Yes, sir.
I'm truly sorry.
And another thing, do not forcibly cut off the Coupling.
In order to enhance the abilities of the linked buddy,
the coupling system resonates with their thoughts and amplifies their power.
Forcibly cutting it off may cause permanent brain damage.
That was very dangerous.
Come on, say something.
Elvira-san, are you worried about me?
Isn't it obvious?
This is exactly why I don't like pilots.
The new Second Lieutenant doesn't understand a woman's feelings yet.
The same goes for you.
For crying out loud!
It hurts so bad, I feel like I'm going to die.
I don't care anymore.
Thank goodness. The secret wasn't leaked.
You should thank Watase Aoba.
He's the one who decided to come back here.
You're right.
Because of that I didn't have to make use of your skills.
If he hadn't come back, would you really have shot him?
You were the one who ordered me to.
Well, that's true.
How's the ship coming?
The left engines nacelle requires a complete overhaul.
Oh, my.
It's possible to have it repaired at the Chitose Base.
Chitose, huh?.
It may be a detour, but we have no other choice.
We'll depart once the emergency repairs are completed.
Understood.
What's the matter?
We've received an S.O.S. message from a private ship.
An accident?
No.
It seems that the Zogilian army have surrounded them.
The enemy forces include: one ground unit, eight Air Force units.
Dio, Aoba-san, can you hear me?
Yes, I hear you.
Before you enter the battlefield, we'll initiate the Coupling.
We'll instruct you when to initiate it.
Why is that?
Due to the current situation, the limit of your Coupling is 300 seconds.
Do you understand?
I understand.
Dio?
Understood.
We never expected to run into such big prey.
Flying objects are approaching from 80 degrees.
It's the Alliance, enemy Valiancers.
No. 666 Independent Mixed Squad
Lieutenant Bonelle
From the South?
Verify the mecha type.
One is the Beryl, and the other two can't be identified.
The new-type?
The Valiancer units will take an interception formation.
You are approaching the battlefield.
All right?
Yeah.
Countdown to Coupling.
Three,
two,
one.
Proposing!
Connect with Dio!
Accept.
Activating Approach Ring.
Start Esteftguide Navigation
Approach Ring assigned.
Beginning linkage.
Forceveil, opened.
Emphater level is increasing.
No, it's not stabilizing.
Wh-What's happening?
Shit.
What's the matter?
In order for a Coupling to be successful, both pilots must be able merge their consciousness.
For that to happen, they must completely trust and accept each other.
However, that's not the only cause.
The worst case scenario is that their emotions are getting in the way.
Did something happen?
Haven't I explained this to you before?
They still aren't getting along?
That seems to be the case.
Valiancer units are entering the battlefield.
We have no choice.
I'm engaging in this condition.
Okay. Me too.
Are you guys serious?
The enemy's ship is approaching the private ship!
Are they planning to board the ship?
How barbaric.
Can you aim at the cables?
It's impossible.
It'll damage the private ship since they're so close.
That emblem!
Now I see.
That's why the enemy was trying to capture it.
What are you trying to do, Dio?
It's reckless to charge in alone!
Damn it.
Dio?
Aoba-kun, can you hear me?
Yes.
That ship belongs to Dio's family.
Dio's?
Then...
Yeah, there's a chance Dio's family may be on the ship.
I correct myself, Dio's family is on the ship.
The Weinberg family is the most famous family among the Alliance.
If they're taken as hostages, they could be used as a political tool.
That's the enemy's objective.
So that's how it is.
But even Dio can't defeat that one alone.
Understood.
Dio, can you hear me?
I may never see my family again.
So now, I understand how you feel.
Your family, the ones you want to protect, are inside that ship.
Please let me protect them as well.
Dio, let's try Coupling again.
Understood.
Connect with Dio!
Accept.
Emphater level has increased.
It has reached operational levels.
Coupling completed.
It's good to be young.
Amazing.
Impossible! What kind of move was that just now?
The private ship is pulling away.
R-Retreat.
I won't let you get away!
I'm coming, too.
The private ship is now at a safe distance from the blast radius.
Fire!
Dio, Aoba-kun, can you hear me?
Yes.
Both of you will escort the private ship to Chitose.
Understood.
Roger.
So that's Chitose Base.
That is...
Chitose Base
Hey, Dio.
Back down.
Have you forgotten Dio Weinberg's face?
Dio.
Fiora.
Are you okay?
I knew that Valiancer was you.
Yeah.
His sister?
What are you doing, Dio?
Father.
You are not supposed to waste your time here.
Father?
