Run! If that rain gets on you, it's over!
Meg!
Meg! Are you all right!?
Tim! Hurry!
Grab hold!
Tim!
Transformation!?
Tim is... Tim is...
Strange...
I'm not afraid of anything anymore.
Tim!
It's finally begun!
Yeah.
Awright! Let's go!
That's how it always starts... under the azure sky
After making a vow, I now set off
Yeah, the desert glitters with a golden hue (The wind is scorching)
I'm searching for a diamond flower (I keep on wandering)
Now, for the first time in my life,
I live for someone else
There's something I wanna protect
I'll never, ever lose it again
Resound, my heartbeat!
A heartbeat smaller and fragile, but tougher than anyone's.
There's been no response from the flying object.
Please order an attack!
We have no choice...
Target confirmed. Formation 05.
Maintain your positions! We'll aim at its head.
Roger! Locked on target!
"Cat in Paradise"
What are you thinking?
It's not about what's outside this paradise, is it?
I...
That is a sin. Now look...
No!
See? Even over here...
No!!
Those poisonous snakes are trying to drag you out of this paradise,
and take you back to the sullied world.
You must destroy them. Or it is the end for you and paradise.
Me?
Wh- what's happening? What's going on!?
Magnificent! Eve, keep it up!
Bring down all who try to invade our paradise!
What!? You're saying Eve's doing all that?
Eve is putting everything she has learned up to this point to use.
But... I never taught Eve how to bring down armed helicopters!
Was that it?
What!? He is...
Relax. I don't plan to fight you guys.
More importantly, you're heading to that monster thing, right?
What!? Your friend was swallowed up by that thing!?
I... couldn't protect Tim.
Tim!?
Dammit!
Eden will continue to grow by absorbing life energy.
In time, it will swallow up all of mankind,
and totally cover this planet.
A self-propagating machine with immortal life and infinite capacity...
But Eden is still in its infancy.
What!? No way! That thing is still an infant!?
Yes, if it swallows up more and more people and increases its power...
it will be beyond our powers.
No!
Then what do you do?
Separating Eve from Eden before they completely merge is the only way...
Eve? Did something happen to her?
Eve is inside that thing.
If it's as I designed it, Eve has been taken into the receptor.
Sheesh... Awfully relaxed, aren't you!? You even brought food!
C'mon! It's like they say, you can't fight in an empty stomach.
Right?
Don't they?
So, the question is how we attack it...
Eden is showering nanomachines...
In other words, we can't attack from below.
But to attack from the sky...
We'd be cut into pieces with that sickle-like thing...
It will be difficult to stop that nano-slicer.
The only way is to create a blind spot...
Or lure it to a small area and run it aground?
How?
We're at the end of our rope...
Isn't there something we can do?
How does Eden detect people?
It's not as though it's spreading nanomachines at random, right?
Eden detects humans' mental activities through Eve,
and moves towards areas where it senses a high response.
So that's why it targets cities.
Then the place Eden will target next is...
Palmila City...
Then, it means that we have to take care of it before it gets there or it's over.
If it's in the middle of the desert, where no humans are around,
even a small number of people may be able to lure Eden.
That's it!
Now, the question is, where are we going to lure Eden?
If we are to run it aground,
it should be between cliffs?
Oh, let's just move forward for now.
We've already chowed down, so...
Kuro-sama!
I asked Charden-san to join me!
It has been a while...
Since that time, I've continued on my journey in search of a path to follow.
That's right...
What's more important than me right now is what to do with that monstrosity.
This is the place...
To the southwest of Palmila City...
there is a ravine created over time by weathering.
If we lure it here...
Sheesh! How are we gonna make that huge thing change its course!?
Eve's consciousness shouldn't be completely gone yet.
Eden will react to whatever Eve likes.
Whatever Eve likes... whatever Eve likes...
Isn't there something!?
When you think of princess, you think of omelets! Charred black ones!
And I love mango pudding!
Young girls love fruit parfaits.
Grilled octopus in batter?
Hamburgers?
Poached tofu?
Sven...
No!! It's nothing like that!
When you think of Eve, you think of books, right!?
"The Bond Between A Husband and Wife", "101 Wild Elephants on the Stampede!"
"Camels' Humps", "Tagaya"...
Fireworks!
- Fireworks!? - Fireworks!? - Fireworks!?
Right! Fireworks!
Eve likes the fireworks at festival time!
We'll shoot up lots and lots of fireworks and get Eve's attention!
Fireworks?
We won't find fireworks in the middle of a desert like this.
Hey! Where're you going!?
To the fireworks factory in town!
You guys go on ahead, I'll catch up right away!
Leon!
- Leon! - Leon! - Leon!
You fool!
If the nanomachine rain gets on you, you'll be swallowed up, too!
I hate sand!
Damn, that kid!
Well, Train?
See the kid?
- Nope. - ? La la...?
I see...
Gotcha!
Leon...
Eden is!
What the hell is that!?
Eden has turned into a woman...
So pretty...
The second form of Eden...
What?
By absorbing the people in Kashmir City,
the bond between Eden and Eve has grown stronger.
Oh, no!
Once it reaches Palmila City, no one will be able to stop Eden and Eve from merging.
We must hurry!
Dammit, where's the fireworks!?
He's definitely taking too long.
There's no point in placing our hopes on a kid.
He may have been an Apostle of the Stars once,
but he's still just a kid.
I wonder if he got rained on by nanomachines
and was swallowed up by Eden...
Hey!
- Oweee! - Hey! Stop it!
- My bad! My bad! I'm sorry! - Hey! Stop it!
That kid... isn't too shabby, it seems...
Huh?
- Kuro-sama! - Train!
Wait for me!
That's reckless! Come back! Train!
Don't worry!
Eden has left Kashmir City! The rain will stop soon!
All... who... invade... paradise...
will be... dealt with.
Well, you can't have this!
Dammit!
Kid, you're not bad at all.
What's the speed of the enemy?
It's still going at about 100 km per hour.
It'll be over if we fall behind...
The road conditions are awful.
It's a life-or-death rally, huh?
Awright... I'm all fired up!
Once Eden runs aground, we will go in.
Then let us wish each other success...
and also that we will meet again alive.
- Right! - Right! - Right!
Are you tired, Eve?
But it's just a little more.
We're going to an even more fun place next.
A place... that's even... more fun...
No, not that way!
Let's go to an even more fun place!
Hey! Eve!
Awright!
Just like someone said, it's reacting to the fireworks!
Aghh! It's headed this way!
Awright! Let's make a big show!
I have permission from Kuro-sama just for today...
So I'm going to blow a lot of fire!
Tamaya!
Tamaya! Tamaya! Tamaya!
What's going on?
Eden has changed its course!
The Sweepers... Rather, it's the work of small fries.
It doesn't matter!
Put it back on course for Palmila City immediately.
I understand.
Tamaya!
Now... come with me to an even more fun place, Eve.
Leave them to me and keep shooting up fireworks!
Drat! That thing's turning around!
Shoot up more fireworks!
Aww... Looks like it's going away!
Hey! Don't give up!
Boooo!
This is bad, Sephiria! Eden is turning back towards Palmila City.
Hey Train! What're you up to!?
- Go, Mister! - Aghhh!
- You're so cool! - Stop it!!
Hang on tight!
Let's go!
Hey! Princess!
Come on over this way!
Eve! Come back!
What's wrong, Eve?
Eve! I was wrong!
I'll never tell you to go to a boarding school again!
Th- this is!
You don't have to go to school!
We'll always be together!
All right! It's coming this way!
Whee!
- Yeah!! - Yeah!! - Yeah!!
Awright! Let's attack!
- Right! - Right! - Right!
Kaboom!
We will go in, too!
Fight with all your strength... in accordance with your beliefs!
Very well!
Let us wish each other success...
Rins-chan! When I return, I will give you a big, long hug!
Wow! He's gonna marry you!
Wedding! Wedding!
Tan tan tatan!
Jenos!
I'll punch you in the face when you return!
Small fries... this is your idea of a trap!?
I have no choice...
I shall show you small fries, the true power of Eden!
The real power of Tao!
Now you shall witness...
the infinite life energy that I discovered!
What!?
We're already in a pinch!?
Now go, Zero Numbers!
Heartnet, leave this place to us...
and go!
Go, XIII!
Mademoiselle Eve is waiting!
I owe you!
The sin of betrayal...
you shall pay for it now!
Damn! They're here again!
I shall assist!
I'm counting on you!
Awright!
Each one of you...
don't you dare die!!
Since your new black boots caused a blister,
you rest your right foot
We'll keep walking along with our own rhythm, without rushing
Don't say anything because we'll soon understand each other
I'm just holding you now to keep you warm
I'm completely wrapped around you, so...
Quietly the powder-like snow is building up...
"Next Episode"
I've finally made it this far...
The journey was short yet it seemed long... so many things happened.
Well, thanks to those things, I can now see things better...
Friends... freedom... things like that...
Well, whether we like it or not, this is the end!
Everyone, let's go out with a bang so there's no regrets!
"Carefree Cat" Everyone, let's go out with a bang so there's no regrets!
"Carefree Cat"
