For all eternity, the curtain of thousands of years of nights...
...stretches across the nostalgic eternal homeland.
The moment a knock is heard upon the gates of Heaven...
...the beginning of a new adventure will be proclaimed.
In the place where the mysterious meeting occurs...
...the black silence will be broken.
The gateway to the alternate world of El-Hazard...
...is opening once again.
In cases like these, you should just knock!
Lady Fatoraaa!
What!? You saw a white bugrom!?
Yes. I'm sure that's what it was.
Makoto, what's this about?
Hmm...
It could be, that...
Nanami, there may be a hole leading to this world from our own.
What!?
They're back on.
What a relief!
U-Uh... Er...
By the way, Qawoor...
Yes?
Why do you hate bugs so much?
Actually...
Hmm... Ever since you were born, huh?
That reminds me, Nanami... The emperor has been taken ill.
Do you have any idea what's wrong with him?
W-Who knows! Whatever could be the matter?
No one is permitted to leave the city!!
What are you saying!? We came from outside this city!
Uh, Lady Fatora?
Have you found something?
Look.
What... is that?
It looks somewhat larger than Roshtaria's castle, doesn't it...
So what if it is?
Hey, where's Parnasse?
Are there no women in this city?
Oh! There's one!
Begging your pardon...
Good afternoon! Can you tell me...
Yes?
Hey!
Don't you go wandering off like that!
So? Where is Shayla-Shayla?
Oh, excuse me! Have you seen a girl around these parts...
...with bright red hair, who blows fire when she's mad?!?
You make her sound like a hideous beast...
We mean to ask, have you seen a dark-skinned, short-tempered...
...live wire of a violent woman around these parts?
That's not much different from the first description.
Back with you! Move!
What do you suppose is going on?
Hey!
L... Lady Fatora!?
I thought my heart would stop for fear!
I've never seen the Lady Gilda look so threatening before!
Lady Fatora... Let's get out of here... please?
I have a bad feeling about this.
She's my type.
Alielle. I like it here!
We are going to make this a lengthy sojourn!
HUH!?
This... is my face?
I've come too far to give up on my plan now.
Parnasse, what the hell have you gotten us into!?
Lady Fatora is the one who said...
...that we could get into the castle through this route!
Don't blame me! I didn't tell the path to shrink away to nothing!!
No fair!
Hey! There's something beneath us!
That looks sort of like a bridge...
All right, let us make our way there.
Right!
Let's go, Alielle.
Lady Fatora!
Look out!!
Well done! You deserve high praise for this!
We're not out of this yet!
Alielle... What is this thing?
I'm sorry! I don't know!
Parnasse!! Do something, quickly!!!
D... Do something!? What about me!?
How is your joining us supposed to help?
Still, if we keep on going like this...
Yes... This is just what we needed.
We will take this straight to the castle!
Look ahead!
See? We have arrived, safe and sound.
Is this what you call "safe and sound"?
This is a strange place we've ended up in...
Isn't this cool?
D... Don't try to startle us!
This appears to be an armory.
They're no fun...
Parnasse?
We're going.
Coming!
Listen! When you find the intruders, kill them on sight!
Hey, stop whipping that thing around! You're liable to do someone an injury!
Alielle!
Hey, wait for me!
You scoundrels!!
Parnasse!!
Don't scare me like that!
Hey! Open this door!!! Open this door, now!!!
And what is your name, my pretty?
So many beautiful women in one place!
It's as though all of the women in this country are gathered here!
Meow!
Oh, how sweet!
Pleased to make your acquaintance, ladies!
That's the only thing he excels at.
Alielle, I'm certain that the lady I seek is beyond that door!
Yes, Lady Fatora!
- Men are forbidden here!! Get out!! - MAKE WAY! LET US THROUGH!!
- No, you must not come in here!! - STOP PUSHING!
This is a sacred gathering place!!
What!? It was him!?
Yes, sir.
It couldn't be.
And you let him escape!?
No matter... It's too soon to start panicking.
However!
Do not let it happen again!!
Just who is that man!?
This way!! Get the lead out!
No dawdling!
All right... Let's go!
Hey, what are you doing?
Lady Fatora... I'm too hungry to take another step!
Same here... Um... Can we eat now?
What? Stand up straight! Do you hear me grumbling!?
Still, how are we supposed to eat?
That's true...
I know this smell!
Oh, this smell!
It takes me back to Sister Nanami's restaurant!
It's coming from that stairway.
Say, the Lady Fatora isn't with us.
Yeah, I'm sure the smell is coming from over here...
She is so energetic...
Me, I'm so hungry that it's all I can do to keep walking!
Ugh! I'm dying...
I can't move!
I'm starving!!
There's a sign saying Shiny something-or-other on it...
"Shi-no-no-me..."
I wonder how Sister Nanami and the others are doing right now?
Alielle!? Alielle!! It says "Shinonome"!
ALIELLE!?
It is you, Alielle!
S... SISTER NANAMI!
I've finally found her...
See, Alielle? Parnasse?
Where did they sneak off to!?
No matter...
There is no doubt about it. That's her.
This is it. The most perfect chance Heaven could possibly provide me!
I'm this close!
She put me to so much trouble!
R... Release me!
Release me at once!
It was you!
Although even I didn't think you were capable of such a thing!
What!?
W... What are you doing, you impudent cur!?
You're... You're a woman!
Are you not the one called Makoto!?
Oh! Is he here, too?
Conspirators!
This could not be timed better!
I'll wring the entire truth out of you if I have to!
I'm alive again!!
Oh, I'm so full!!
Alielle, you ate too much!
You guys must have been really hungry.
It's just as I thought.
Everybody was sent to this world along with us.
Do you mean to say that Miss Miz is here, too?
Yes.
I think that dimensional travel can't be achieved...
...without an enormous amount of energy and perfect timing.
I think that the one single shock could only send us all to one place... Here.
Master Makoto! I saw something!
Saw something? Saw what?
I saw Sister Shayla-Shayla's fire!
Say what!?
By the way, where is the Lady Fatora?
Oh, no! I forgot all about her!!
Hey!! Let me out of here this instant!!!
If you think you will get away with this...
...you are gravely mistaken!!!
A maiden who descended from Heaven with the very light of day...
Well, we all had a heartfelt reunion with our friends...
...but the Lady Fatora is still missing.
I'm worried sick that perhaps something horrible is being done to her.
Meanwhile, something horrible is about to happen to Sister Shayla-Shayla!
The white bugs have finally shown their true colors...
...and they want her body for...
AAGH! It's too frightening to say another word!
Next on El-Hazard: The Alternate World!
