Don't act friendly and stop calling my name.
Even if I look like your Hina, that's not me.
Now there's not a single clue left.
I guess I can't go back.
I have to live here forever.

It's been a long time, Lieutenant General Richardson.
Commanding General of the Pacific Ocean Squadron
Lieutenant General Richardson
Your arrival is awfully delayed.
My apologies.
The 1st Marine Special Squad
The 11th Air Force Crew
Captain Kuramitsu
We happened to stumble across Zogilia's Imperial Army en route.
Coupling System
I heard we almost lost the new-type mecha.
Coupling System
Well, even if we did lose it, it would've had no impact on the status of the war.
I've also confirmed that you will be participating in the next mission.
Make sure you don't slow us down.
Good morning everybody.
Pro... Professor!
Hold it!
This is a top-level secret communication line. How in the world did you get in?!
Hmm...
You're a nuisance.
Wha—?
Chief of the Pacific Ocean Neurology Research Institute
Alessandro Fermi
Well then, let's try this again.
How are you doing, crew members of the Cygnus?
I see you haven't changed much, Dr. Fermi.
Captain. There's a ship approaching us from the front.
It's the Coupling System Test Ship, Crane.
Coupling System Test Ship
Crane
Welcome to the Cygnus.
Oh, thank you, beautiful young lady.
I'm glad to see you're well, Professor.
Thank you.
You seem to have more wrinkles than before.
You're kidding me, Professor.
Now then, without further ado...
The Coupling System's Demonstration?
That's right.
Dr. Fermi would like to see it.
Nice to meet you.
He came all the way from Hawaii just to see it.
From Hawaii?
Yup. Hawaii, where we'll be arriving soon.
Obviously he can't wait.
But, Luxon is now...
Luckily the cockpit part wasn't damaged. It can still perform Coupling.
That old man is the developer of the Coupling System?
To be precise, we should say he is the leader of the Coupling development team.
What do you mean?
As far as I know, Dr. Fermi was the first to propose the Coupling theory...
His research lab led the development of the system, but...
For it to move onto practical application is due to the cockpit Elvira-san developed.
In other words, the disciple took all the credit from the airhead teacher, right?
P-Professor...
Well, I've no problem being the airhead teacher.
Huh?
You know, I started the underlying research of Coupling with Elvira-kun's grandfather.
So, I knew her from when she was still in diapers.
Oh, I see.
It took longer for her potty training. We were worried about her.
Professor!
But anyway, that little girl,
is now a better researcher than me.
How could I not be happy about this?
That's a nice story you have.
That's enough chatting. Let's begin the test. Second Lieutenant Watase!
Connect with Dio.
Accept.
Emphater level's waveforms are stable.
Isn't it beautiful to see such a high level of enharmonic control completion?
How long does the Coupling's connection last?
The practical limit is 300 seconds.
Perfect!
10 seconds to Decoupling.
5, 4, 3,
2, 1...
Decoupling.
The system and pilot show no abnormalities.
Great work, Aoba-kun, Dio.
Thanks.
What?
You may be able to fool a machine, but you can't fool me.
What do you mean "fool you"?
You met her, didn't you? On that island. That girl named "Hina".
Nope.
Don't make such obvious lies.
It's the truth. That's not the Hina I knew.
What?
Here, in this world 70 years into the future, there's no Hina.
Yumihara Hina, the one who saved me and sent me to the future, no longer exist.
I see.
So that's why you've been feeling depressed.
I'm not depressed.
You're surprisingly sensitive, aren't you?
I already told you I'm not depressed!
To begin with, an enemy pilot knows how to return to the past.
Where did you get that story from?
Even a kid could come up with a better one.
It's not made-up! I thought it was the only possibility .
I won't say it again.
What the hell?!
Are you awake now?
How long are you gonna sulk?
Luxon's almost fully repaired.
Even someone like you, we're better off having you than—
The one who's sulking... is you!
A guy who's been worrying about his little sister,
has no right to preach me!
You...
Leave Fiona out of this!
You damn siscon!
Shut up, you stubborn cow!
Damn you!
Whoa!
You bastard!
What are you guys doing?!
Stop it, Dio!
Let me go! I said let me go!
Let me wake this idiot up!
Shut up!
Man, you guys caused us a lot of trouble.
Both of you went a little overboard.
Captain said to cool your heads down here for a while.
See ya'.
Made me work up a sweat for nothing.
Geez...
Isn't it great being young?
Oh?
Where's Dr. Fermi?
Eh?
Now that you've mentioned it...
Ah, you're here.
You claim to have come from the past?
70 years ago, was it?
You won't believe me anyway.
How much do you know about the Coupling System?
Eh?
To put it simply,
it connects the two pilots' brains in parallel and boosts the original source of power.
I see.
The system's function is to transmit both pilots' thoughts without delay.
If there's a time lag, it would be an obstacle during the battle.
Transmit thoughts without delay?
It's a waste of time explaining details to that idiot.
What did you say?
Oh yeah.
Right now, you guys are only separated by a thin wall so the two of you can communicate like so.
However, that's not the case in a battle.
The larger the distance, the longer the delay.
Even a 7-second delay is enough to prevent Coupling.
So then, how did we manage to perform a Coupling?
Time leap.
What?
If there's a 7-second delay in transmitting thoughts, sending them 7 seconds into the future would solve the problem.
Is that even possible?
Yes, at the elemental particle level.
The elemental particle level?
What's so funny?
In the end, it means the professor doesn't believe your story.
What the hell?
You two look like you get along well.
Very well.
You're implementing the Coupling system into the new plane?
You haven't heard? It'll soon be on the rollout.
Although there's only going to be two of them.
The superiors have softened up a bit.
So does that mean the mass production of Coupling mechas won't be far off?
Unfortunately, we're not at that stage yet.
The Alliance doesn't give the Coupling System any importance.
Yet the enemies are desperate to get their hands on it...
Because that guy is in Zogilia.
That guy?
A researcher, like me,
from the professor's lab defected to Zogilia.
He was a smart one too.
He must've understood the importance of Elvira-kun's cockpit.
That guy's name is?
Hahn, Wilhelm Hahn.
Zogilia's Academy of Science - Chief of No. 2 Experimental Research Lab
Wilhelm Hahn
I think it's an interesting plan.
Alright. I'll talk to the Administration Bureau about it.
Thank you very much, Dr. Hahn.
National Administrative Security Committee
Special Service Agent Margaret
The 193rd Independent Submarine Force, the 501st Motorized Unit
Lieutenant Colonel Gallant
Do your best, Special Service Agent Margaret.
Because this will be your last chance.
I'll pray for your success.
Glory to Zogilia!
Heavy Battle Cruiser Airship
Vajra
That's the outline of this plan.
Any questions?
Lieutenant Colonel.
Who is this Dr. Hahn?
To have such influence on the Administration Bureau even though he's just a scientist.
He must be someone important.
That's not something you need to concern yourselves with.
I'll be the head commander for today.
Is that alright, Lieutenant Colonel?
Let her be.
It's me, Watase Aoba!
I'll pull you out.
I just wanted you to have it.
Watase Aoba.
Hina?
Bizon!
What happened? You look serious.
Hina, how did you transmit that signal?
We arrived shortly after receiving it.
However, Fortuna's cockpit had already sunk into the ocean.
From the Alliance new-type.
What?! Then you...
No! I found it in the forest.
I was going to take it but the enemy came back.
I only sent out an S.O.S. signal because I was unarmed.
But the only Valiancer there was Fortuna.
It left just before you arrived.
I was hiding so I couldn't see well.
You don't believe me, right?
It's too good to be true.
Have you told the Lieutenant Colonel?
Not yet.
Tell that to the Lieutenant Colonel.
If the Special Agent finds out first, it would spell trouble.
You're right.
Talk to me sooner next time.
I'm the only one who believes you no matter what.
I understand.
Bizon, there's not much time. Board your mecha immediately.
Yes, sir.
Enemy Valiancers approaching.
We'll make contact in 10 minutes.
Everyone, prepare for battle!
Come on out. It's time for battle.
Is it alright to release both of them in that condition?
Eh?
I thought they've always been like that since the beginning.
I guess that's true, but...
They're here!
Spread out and be ready to fight!
Roger!
Don't think of anything else, just focus on the battle.
I know that!
Aoba-san, Dio. Please start Coupling.
Roger.
Connect with Dio.
Accept.
A number of photothermal formations are approaching.
It's Zogilia's cruise missiles!
Nectar Curtain, activate!
Damage report?
Minimal damage. No problems reported.
Second volley approaching!
The Cygnus's Nectar Curtain won't recharge in time.
All units, shoot down as many missiles as possible!
Roger!
Wha—?
There's no time to hesitate!
I can be...
Wait and see, Hina. I'll finish this guy!
Aoba.
Lieutenant Colonel. Cover me!
Understood.
That guy again.
You're stubborn.
Damn it.
They got through?!
The Crane has been hit.
Captain Conrad, destroy all the missiles heading towards the Crane.
Don't let any missiles through!
There's no need for that.
Professor!
I'm okay. The Crane won't get shot down that easily.
But...!
Elvira-kun, I've taught you everything your grandfather taught me.
It's time to move on.
I'll leave the future in your hands.
Can we really shoot down this many?
No time for whining! Just do what you have to do!
Amazing...
As expected of Aoba-san and Dio.
Now we just have to wait for the enemy to use up all their missiles.
It would be great if they use them all up.
Another volley of missiles are heading this way!
How many did they prepare?!
Could it be...?
They're waiting for the Coupling's time limit.
Based on Dr. Hahn's predictions,
their Coupling is limited to 300 seconds.
Which means they only have 90 seconds remaining.
After Decoupling, we can't handle this number of missiles.
Don't slack off! There are still some missiles coming!
But the Coupling...
Don't give up, Watase Aoba!
Didn't you decide to stay on the Cygnus and fight?
You're an idiot. A bona fide idiot.
One who would go through the path he had chosen no matter what. Are you that kind of guy?!
Right now, the Cygnus is in need of power.
And you have that power to help them.
Fight! For the people who needs your help!
Hurry up, you weeper!
Damn it!
It got through!
I told you I wasn't weeping!
What?
Don't lecture me you damn siscon!
What did you say?! You're the one who was down all the way!
I was imitating you!
You...
Did you have to be so blunt?!
Amazing!
Those two... even while fighting...
They took out that many missiles?
But the time...
10 seconds to Decoupling...
9, 8, 7,
6, 5, 4,
3, 2, 1!
It's time.
Not yet!
Coupling has been prolonged!
What did you say?!
Impossible!
Special Agent, your orders?
C-Continue firing the missiles!
There must be some miscalculations, but the Coupling won't last much longer!
Fire, fire, fire!
We'll follow them!
Roger!
The Coupling's operating time has exceeded 400 seconds!
I don't believe it.
All missiles have been shot down!
I-It can't be!
E-Escape system!
Open up! Open up!
I'm not the kind of person who dies like this!
No!
Are you alright, Special Service Agent?
That voice... Alfried Gallant?
The plan has failed. All mechas will fall back.
Yes.
Hey weeper! So you can do it if you try.
Shut up, siscon.
The Coupling time for today is 429 seconds.
Unbelievable.
It largely exceeded the theoretical maximum.
Elvira-kun.
Yes?
It was a nice Coupling.
Professor! Professor!
What's wrong? Professor!
Professor!
Unfortunately, the Administration Bureau has already decided to replace you.
They'll get in touch with you soon.
Why don't you relax until then?
I envy you.
I haven't had a vacation in years.
Dr. Hahn.
What is it, Lieutenant Colonel Alfried?
Direct attacks won't work while the white swan is in Hawaii.
In light of that, I would like to carry out the plan reported to you before.
Report? When did you...?
Your plan has been approved.
You can meet up with the team any time.
I'm expecting results from you, Lieutenant Colonel Alfried.
Glory to Zogilia!
Reinforcements at a time like this?
I wonder who they are.
Tarjim!
I'm glad you came, Lieutenant Commander Ryazan.
How are you doing, Hina?
Father!
