Garapushka, Fire!
Enemy battle group, 51% are downed...
or destroyed.
We did it.
We did it!
What's happening out there?
We'll clean up the remaining enemy forces.
Follow me!
Let's go, Hina. Let's kill Watase Aoba!
Glory to Zogilia.
Acception
Attack units have broken through the enemy's front line!
Garapushka, prepare for a second shot!
A second shot?
That wasn't part of the plan!
I'm the commander here.
The enemy has broken through our front lines!
Assemble all remaining forces!
Our forces still exceed theirs.
Don't let that cannon fire a second shot!
The Fleet ordered all aerial units to incapacitate the Gorgon.
They're ordering us to charge straight into the enemy's base under these conditions?
What should we do?
An order is an order. We have no choice.
Understood.
Full speed ahead!
The fate of the battle rests in your hands.
We're counting on you, Dio, Aoba-kun.
However, you guys are not allowed to use these mecha's Coupling System.
I've programmed both of your coordination data into them.
The mecha is different. However, the cockpit's still the same.
Good luck.
Follow my lead.
Don't lag behind!
Understood.
A second shot?
In 15 minutes.
That idiot. He got carried away by its sheer power.
But if we fire a second shot, we'd have the upper hand.
Do you think a weapon that can destroy a city and a fleet could be fired endlessly?!
Garapushka's energy source is the Nectoribium itself.
A single shot consumes a year's worth of Zogilia's Nectoribium mining.
Seriously?
A year's worth? Is that true?
It's no use winning a fight if the country perished as a result.
Yet...
I, Alfried Gallant, was the one who persuaded him to fire the first shot.
Lieutenant Colonel?
Let's go!
Attack while the enemy is in chaos and aim for victory.
Roger!
Glory to Zogilia.
Zogilian forces are engaged in the front line.
This isn't the time to be worrying about the Gorgon.
Launch the Valiancer units!
We're suddenly thrown into the fierce battle, huh?
Quit complaining, Jarl.
Let's go!
Got it.
Roger.
Dammit, we can't advance!
The enemy forces are increasing!
I'm going to break through.
Follow me!
There's no need to, Lieutenant Colonel.
Bizon?
Hina and I will hunt them down.
Hina, come on. Let's perform a Coupling.
Understood.
Doctor, we're in your hands.
Everything is a "go".
Connect with Hina!
Acc—
What are you doing, Hina? Say "Accept".
What a troublesome kid.
Sorry. That was my fault.
I've already gotten rid of the error. It's all okay.
Be careful.
What are you gonna do if my Hina got hurt?
I apologize.
Let's do this. Connect with Hina!
Hina!
Now, show them what you can do.
Glory to Zogilia.
Indifa and Inflex's Valiancer units are destroyed!
Two enemy Valiancer's codewave confirmed.
They're Coupling mechas!
What did you say?!
Don't tell me there are Couplers on their side...
Look, Hina!
This is our power!
Bizon...
What happened to him?
But it's incredible.
Don't let this chance slip by.
Let's go!
It's the White Swan, Hina!
Aoba came all the way here for us!
You're in the way!
Get lost!
He's too fast!
There's no way we can beat a Coupling mecha.
Oh no! The Cygnus!
Nectar cannon on the left wing has been hit!
Float engine has been damaged!
Performance dropped by 40%!
30 seconds until the Nectar Curtain's ready!
Begone!
What?!
Luxon Next and Bradyon Next!
Aoba-san!
Phew.
Finally.
A Nectar Rifle?
Unable to identify mechas.
A New-type?
Let's do this, Dio!
Don't order me around!
Connect with Dio!
Accept.
A hero's entrance!
Man, you guys are late!
Seriously.
Coupling mechas?
The Alliance's new-type Coupling mechas.
The pilots are probably...
Watase Aoba!
Aoba?
Those Valiancers are...
The ones you saw in the past?
Yeah. The one that came to kill me and the one Hina piloted.
Don't tell me...
Let's do it, Hina!
Hina's piloting that mecha?!
They're coming!
What's with those new-types?
Amazing!
So that's a battle between Coupling mechas, huh?
Emphater level is at 90%!
The highest matching so far!
I can't believe I'm already watching a battle between Coupling mechas.
Valuable data can be obtained from this.
This is...!
Elvira-san, please take a look at this.
What's this?
Anyway, the enemy has lost the advantage now.
Attack with everything you got!
This is the deciding battle!
Our units have been damaged.
We've lost our advantage from the surprise attack...
To think we depended on the Coupling mechas as well.
Dammit.
They're strong!
Aoba!
If you've no intention of shooting them down, you'll be the one getting shot down!
I know that! But...
Both of you, listen up.
There's a strange noise so we analyzed it.
It seems that there's something unusual in the enemy's Coupling.
It may have been forced.
If that's the case, there's a chance we can defeat them.
So I have a plan.
I see. This is a bet.
A very dangerous one, too.
Let me do it!
I'm sure Hina is piloting it.
All right.
Let's go, Aoba!
Yeah!
Decoupling!
They deactivated their Coupling?
Hina, can you hear me?
It's me!
Eh?
What the...?
Dammit!
I didn't know this cockpit had such a function!
What?
Hina! It's Aoba!
Aoba?
Yes. Aoba.
Aoba.
It's me. Watase Aoba!
Hina is Hina, right?
Aoba!
Hina!
They've forcefully done a Decoupling!
Now's our chance!
Okay!
Damn you!
What did you do, Aoba?!
Dio, Aoba-kun, the Gorgon's already preparing to fire a second shot.
Estimated 4 minutes before it fires.
We're running out of time!
Understood.
Let's go, Aoba!
Got it!
3 minutes until firing.
Please wait! Our soldiers are still in the battlefield!
Everybody has been notified.
We'll be firing as planned.
I understand.
Three Valiancer units approaching rapidly.
You awake, Hina?
Aoba.
I never thought you'd be a Coupler.
I don't quite understand.
I thought I declined Dr. Hahn's offer.
What does that mean?
I don't know the details,
but he'll use any means to get what he wants.
What are you doing to my Hina?!
Hina, are you okay?!
Let's perform a Coupling once more!
Stop it, Bizon!
They're coming!
We must hurry!
Connect with Hina!
No!
What's wrong, Hina?!
Are you okay?!
Answer me, Hina.
Hina!
Stop it!
The noise is coming from the enemies.
I knew it.
Hahn, you've succeeded in making the Coupling possible without the Couplers will.
Those who are trapped within the stereotype are wrong.
At this rate, the enemy will go through Forced Coupling again.
Hina, let's perform a Coupling together.
What?
Don't worry, Hina.
Trust me!
Aoba.
Hina!
Connect with Hina!
Do it, Aoba!
Connect with Hina!
Emphater level increasing!
No signs of stopping!
What has happened, Aoba-kun?!
Second Lieutenant Ryazan.
Aoba.
Hina.
At first, I hated you.
I know.
However, you've always believed in me.
This time, it's my turn to believe in you, Aoba.
Accept.
Aoba...
Why, Hina?!
Why?!
What's happening?!
What is that light?!
I-I don't know!
Garapushka, Fire!
Singularity of unknown origin has appeared at coordinates 125, -979.
It's beginning to expand.
Gravitational anomaly detected.
Evasive maneuvers! Now!
Propulsion problems on Proto-Valiancer Unit 2.
At this rate, he'll be swallowed!
What's wrong, Unit 2?!
Accelerate!
Damn...
Damn it!
Bizon!
This was the thing at that time...
What is it?
I told you before.
I went into that, and came to this period.
Time Tunnel.
Time Tunnel?
I see. That was what you were talking about...?
Yeah, I'm sure it's like that.
It can't be!
Damn you!
I won't forgive you!
Watase Aoba!
You were the one who brought me here.
I was attacked by a Valiancer at school
and you were the one that rescued me.
Aoba, will be attacked...
Time tunnel...
I see.
Hina!
What's wrong?
Aoba, it's as you said.
What?
This time, it's my turn to save you!
Wait, Hina!
Stop, Aoba! It's dangerous!
Go away, Dio!
If I don't go now...
Hina!
Accelerate!
We'll meet again, Aoba.
Hina!
I...
I wonder when he'll...
It'll be fine. There's still time.
Definitely.
Wait for me, Aoba.
I get it.
Hina was...
Hina was the only one still living in the same timeline...
and saved me...
I...
Who am I?
Hina has been repeating the same thing over and over again.
And I couldn't stop her every time.
Hina!
Aoba, it's as you said.
This time, it's my turn to save you!
Wait, Hina!
Aoba, hurry up!
Eh?
What's wrong?
You're not stopping me?
Why would I stop you?
She is "Hina", right? The one who saved your life?
Ah, I see.
You knew it as well.
We'll meet again, Aoba.
Hina, don't go!
Aoba!
Why?!
Stop repeating the cycle!
What are you talking about?!
If I don't go, Bizon will appear and kill you!
I know!
It's no use talking to this guy right now.
Ready, Aoba? Don't let go.
Okay!
What are you bastards doing?!
Good-bye.
Damn you...!
Aoba!
Hina!
Retreat! Retreat!
What happened to Bizon?!
Alaska Base has...
This war is far from over.
Is this punishment for those who are attracted to the power of Nectoribium?
The Zogilian army is retreating!
Yes!
We somehow survived.
This is Dio. We'll be arriving shortly.
Same goes for Aoba.
Aoba-san!
It's the return of our heroes.
Aoba,
why did you stop me?
Why, you ask?
I didn't want you to go. That's all.
It was your chance to go back to the past.
Why'd you pass it up?
That...
This guy wasn't thinking.
What'd you say? There will be more chances!
How optimistic.
Isn't that true?
No one knows the future.
Aoba...
Anyway, there's a certain someone who would feel lonely if I were gone.
Um...
Are you talking about me?
Who else is there?
You're surprisingly slow.
Slo— I don't wanna hear that from your mouth!
That's right. Nobody knows the future.
Bradyon Next, Luxon Next, and a captured mecha will arrive soon.
Understood!
Valiancer units' landing preparations, complete!
