Wh-Where am I?
I...
What happened?
It doesn't work.
Where is this place?
I must've crash landed.
It's an island.
Isn't that...
Hina.
I-It won't open.
Hina.
Hina. Wake up, Hina.
Hina!

The Night of the Storm
Heavy Battle Cruiser Airship
Vajra
Why?
Why won't you let us search for Second Lieutenant Ryazan?
What is there to gain from searching a junior officer?
Wha—?
National Executive Security Committee
Putting that aside, our top priority is finding Lord Dolzief.
Special Service Agent Margaret
We don't even know where he went down.
Wasn't he shot down?
Tarjim!
After repairing the engines and replenishing our supplies,
you'll join the search team immediately.
This is an order.
Understood.
193rd Independent Submarine Force, 501st Motorized Unit
Lieutenant Colonel Gallant
Still trying to win a favor from a dead person, huh?
Mobile Battle Airship
Cygnus
No.
No. I can't approve a search for Aoba-kun.
The 1st Marine Special Squad
The 11th Air Force Crew
Captain Kuramitsu
Wh-Why? There's a storm outside, you know.
We have to hurry and find Aoba-san...
That's exactly why.
Thanks to the bad weather,
we escaped from the battle.
But the enemy might still be near.
The Valiancers and the Cygnus are damaged.
Given our current situation, ensuring the crew's safety is my top priority.
Am I wrong, Lee-kun?
No sir.
But sir, Coupling requires both mechas to...
This decision was made after considering everything, you know.
The ship will remain on high alert.
After the storm passes, we'll begin our departure.
Just to be safe, the Valiancer team must be ready to fight at a moment's notice.
Yes sir.
He sure acts like a kid.
Huh?
Even after being told not do it, he'll still do it.
Definitely.
Thank goodness. You finally woke up.
Hey, wait. I didn't do anything!
You were sinking so I forcefully opened your cockpit and carried you here...
Oww...
I'll take you hostage and prove my innocence!
We can't move in this state, huh?
My pack floated away too.
I'm going to check your Valiancer as well!
Okay...
This is a Coupling mecha.
This doesn't work either.
I told you, didn't I? It stopped working.
Oh well.
I have his survival pack,
if worse comes to worst, we could always use the radio...
When it clears up a bit, I'll inspect it again.
Aren't you being a little ungrateful?
We've finally met, but what the heck is this?
The hostage isn't allowed to talk nonsense.
Put that down! That's my gun to begin with anyway.
You let your pack get taken, you're an unfit soldier, aren't you?
I'm not a soldier!
Wait, I am now.
Why is someone like you piloting the new-type mecha?
Because you brought me here.
What?
I was suddenly attacked by a Valiancer at school.
Weren't you the one who saved me?
Then after saying "Dio is waiting for you",
you sent me here.
To the world 70 years into the future.
The Alliance must be really shorthanded to have someone like you piloting the new-type mecha.
You really don't remember?
What are you talking about?
Hina.
Don't act friendly and stop calling my name.
Why do you even know my name in the first place?
As I said before, you were my classmate, Yumihara Hina
You saved me when I was attacked by a Valiancer—
That's enough!
Classmate? Saved you?
Everything you said makes no sense!
Hina?
All I can say is this:
Even if I look like your Hina, that's not me.
My father is in the Zogilian army, the 101st Independent Patrol Force,
Lieutenant Commander Victor Ryazan.
When I was 10, I was accepted into the 11th Military Youth school.
After graduation, I was assigned to the 501st Mobile Unit.
It's impossible for me to have made contact with you in school.
Don't joke around! What the hell is that?
After going through all this to meet you—
All further talk is unneeded.
I'll let the Intelligence Department handle your interrogation.
Hina...
Where are you going?
We've passed through the storm.
I can fly now.
That doesn't answer my question.
We can't afford to lose Luxon.
I knew you'd say that.
A message from the captain.
You have three hours. If you can't find him within that time frame, return immediately.
Why are you following me?
It'll be troublesome if you went missing too.
There's a saying that the mummy hunter himself becomes a mummy.
Do what you want.
And one more thing, from Elvira-san.
The Coupling machine might be able to help you.
You still can't find Lord Dolzief?
We've been searching, but nothing so far.
There's no way we'll find it.
Looking for a mecha that's been shot down in this vast ocean.
That's not true. Right, Bizon?
Oh, no no. It's not about Fortuna.
Since it just went down.
Yeah, you're right.
Watch your mouth, Tarjim.
Unlike us, Bizon knew Hina since they were young.
I got it. What a pain.
I was in the same class as Hina, but we hardly talked to each other.
It was almost the first time when she saved me.
The truth is, I don't know what kind of a girl she is nor what she likes.
If I had a chance, I was going to ask her many things,
"Why did you save me?"
or "How can I go back to my own time period?".
Yet, just when I thought I've finally met her, you're telling me you're a completely different person.
If that's the case, where did she go?
Maybe I can't return to my own time period anymore?
Hina?
Shh!
Wh-What the hell?!
This is...?
What was that just now?
What happened?
I can't see a thing if you put out the fire! Hurry and...
You're too noisy! Shut up!
It wasn't me. It was blown off by the wind.
Inside the pack...
We're completely trapped.
Are you kidding me?
Maybe we're lucky that the fire went out.
Without air circulation, we'll eventually run out of oxygen.
Is that so?
H-Hey!
What are you doing?
Can't you tell?
I'm digging an escape hole.
Sorry, but I'm not dying like a dog with an enemy in a place like this.
Then let me help too.
Two people will get the job done faster than doing it alone.
Here, hurry up and untie me.
I won't do anything in our current situation.
And I also don't wanna die in a place like this.
I understand.
About time.
If you try to do something funny...
Don't worry. I won't do such a thing.
Damn it.
How long will it take before we reach the outside?
After all this digging, the soil keeps falling down from the top.
Alright. Break time is over.
Don't underestimate a former basketball player's stamina.
The debris came from the top.
It's probably easier to dig through there.
Yeah, you're right.
As expected, that's the Commander of the Imperial Guard's mecha.
Well, it's not like we didn't see this coming.
Bizon?
Hey.
Hey, you. What are you doing?
The search is complete.
What are you saying?
From now on, please allow my team to act on their own.
What are you...
The Commander's death has been confirmed.
They've already completed their mission, right?
If that's the case,
Understood.
Hina
Still can't find him?
It's almost three hours.
Could he have been washed away by the ocean's currents?
If that's the case, we should extend the search area.
If you're alive, hurry up and send out an S.O.S. signal.
Damn. This is bad.
It's getting harder to breathe.
At this rate...
Hina?
Hina! Hey, pull yourself together!
Hina!
Could it be the lack of oxygen?
I won't let you die.
I definitely won't let you die!
I... I...
What the...
It's no use.
Am I going to die?
In this place? Now?
Are you okay, Hina?
I'll pull you out.
Are you okay?
Are you hurt?
Thank God.
The pack drifted away.
This time, we're really left with nothing.
Also, the cave has just been flooded.
We'll have to wait here until the storm stops.
If...
If we end up dying here...
Could it be?
Hey... Aob....
Can you hear... Please res...
Aoba.
Dio.
Alright. You okay?
Yeah. Thank God.
A message from Dio.
He's found Aoba-san! He's alright!
Thank goodness.
It really is amazing, the Coupling System.
By shifting to a wider Coupling field, they could determine the Buddy's position and activate remotely.
What's the principle behind this?
It's "Love".
Beautiful.
What? Love?
Oh come on. That's obviously a joke.
However, this operating mode consumes a large amount of energy...
The limit was 3 hours yet he hasn't returned.
I'll lecture him harshly later.
Go easy on him, okay?
He found him. So everything's fine now.
Report your situation.
What happened out there? Any sign of the enemy?
What?
E... Enemy?
Um...
That's...
What's wrong? Hurry up and respond.
Oh... it's...
Ah, the signal's breaking up!
What?
Aoba—
Hina.
What's Zogilia's communication channels?
What?
I'll call them. To tell them you're here.
Hina!
Have you found her?
Yeah, I have her signal
Let's hurry.
It's beautiful. Even after 70 years, the sunrise never changes.
Why?
Why did you let me call Zogilia?
Because if I didn't, you would've ended up being our hostage.
I didn't want that to happen.
An unfit soldier, aren't you?
Yup.
Dio's here.
Is your side coming to get you?
Yes...
Is that so? Well then, you'd better hide.
You're right.
Hold on!
This.
Huh? What's this?
Hina's hairpin.
I brought it along when I was brought here.
I'm returning it.
But, I'm not that Hina.
I know. I just wanted you to have it.
Here.
Sorry. You can go now.
U-Um...!
I'm Watase Aoba.
I-I'm...
I know. See you!
Yo, yo. Thank you for picking me up.
You bastard. Why did you hang up the call—?
I couldn't help it. It's not my fault that the radio waves suddenly got cut off.
That's nonsense.
Well, isn't that fine? At least Aoba-kun can return safely now.
That's right!
You'll be in trouble later.
What's this? You're in no position to say that, Dio.
What? What are you guys talking about?
Actually...
Fromm, recover it and let's get out of here.
Hey, wait! I'm not on board yet!
Watase Aoba.
