So is everybody this lonely when they're in love?
They embrace a pain that's deeper than the shadows?
It's all to make us shine, I just know it...
I love you, I love you,
I gaze at you with my heart...
I believe in you, I believe in you,
even on the coldest of nights.
I call out to you with my tears,
but I don't need any promises...
That's the precious strength you've given to me...
Lord Van, please say something!
Lord Van!
Blood's dripping from the control chamber!
Van!
Van! Hold on!
Can you hear me?
Van! Snap out of it!
Van!
Lord Van!
Allen!
Bring Princess Millerna.
Yessir!
It's only the armor that was damaged!
How was he hurt so badly?
Van! You shouldn't try to move!
I...
I can still fight...
I...
Van!
Don't!
He... He has wings!
He's a Draconian...!
Van!
I can't believe the king here's a Draconian...
First the power of Atlantis, and now a Draconian...
Why now?
Why is everything around me making me think of him?
His pulse is becoming erratic.
If we don't do something, he may die.
No!
You're a doctor, aren't you?! Do something!
You must be joking!
These wounds aren't normal.
It's like they were made from the inside.
They won't close!
Escaflowne's control chamber was intact, right?
Escaflowne!
Hitomi!
They're the same as Van's wounds!
Hitomi!
What is it?
Van feels them...
Allen, Van merged with Escaflowne!
So if we don't fix Escaflowne, he'll...
Van's... Van's gonna die!
How could that be?
Commander!
What is it?
We've spotted an Asturian convoy.
You'll be back in your home sea soon.
Time to say goodbye, Sylphy.
Oh, don't give me that look.
Mermaids belong in the sea. And they should be smiling.
Don't get caught again.
But if you do, tell'em you're a friend of Dryden of Asturia.
You spent a pretty penny on that mermaid, young master!
How can you just throw her back?!
The master's going to have my head for this!
Don't be such a money-grubber.
Beautiful things belong in their natural environment.
Hey, isn't that the Crusade?
They said they wish to see the young master.
You're Dryden, aren't you?
And you are...?
Millerna, Third Princess of Asturia.
Millerna's fiancee? But isn't he the...
Yes. The son of Mayden, the man who tried to kidnap you.
Isn't somebody like that dangerous?
If we pick his brain, we may be able to find a way to save Van.
Do you like my study?
Here you are.
Thank you.
It's pounding, isn't it?
To be frank, five years ago, I thought you were just a wild tomboy.
I'm impressed that you've grown to be such a beautiful princess.
You've become quite handsome, yourself.
You really think so?
I never lie.
Then let's go back to Asturia and have the wedding right away!
Isn't this a little sudden?
There's nothing "sudden" about it! We've been betrothed!
And if you come with me...
I'm a wealthy man whose business is booming!
My intellect is second to none!
And I'm not too bad in the looks department, if I do say so myself.
Is there a problem?
D-Dryden...
I...
Sorry about that!
I guess there's the little matter of being ready to take the plunge.
Dryden...
Haste does makes waste, I guess.
I assume you didn't come here to talk about that.
Let's cut to the chase.
O-Of course.
All that's left now is to break the seal.
How dare you, Dilandau...
We have the Power Spot, so now I'm going to do things my way!
This is an Ispano Guymelef?
Look at all this damage! Those damn samurai!
Hey, what's that?!
Young master! Be careful!
That's Dryden?
It's dangerous up there! Be careful!
Yes.
So the legends are true.
What do you mean, Lord Dryden?
Forget the "lord" stuff, okay? It's just Dryden.
Are you going to stop wasting our time?
According to the ancient texts,
Ispano Guymelefs curse their operators, killing them.
Their operators...
They kill them?
What do you mean?
The Ispano clan inherited the knowledge of the people of Atlantis.
The master of one of their Guymelefs is chosen by blood pact.
This person remains its master until his death.
On some occasions, the Guymelef will take control and fight.
When the Guymelef is damaged and falls, its master falls as well.
I won't just use Escaflowne from now on. I'll get it to obey my thoughts!
Hitomi, I don't know if I...
It's my fault.
I showed Van how!
Hitomi?
All you have to do is fix the Guymelef.
We can't handle a repair job this big.
Ispano Guymelefs have something for that...
What did you do?!
I called 'em.
Who?!
The Ispano clan. The people who built Escaflowne.
It's huge...!
So that's the Ispano factory mothership!
Is this normal?
They've confirmed that it's really Escaflowne.
Fifty million.
F-Fifty million?
Escaflowne repair bill.
How many years would it take for us to make that much?
Two thousand!
We don't have that kind of money!
You can't pay, we leave.
Allen!
I'll pay for it.
Young master!
I'll give you my convoy. What do you say?
But young master! It's taken five years to accumulate that!
It must be worth 80 million!
Dryden! We'll never be able to repay something like this!
Royalty shouldn't worry about pinching pennies, okay?
I just like the king there, that's all.
Van! Hold on!
Bring some rope! Tie him down!
Hang in there, Yer majesty!
I found some rope!
He feels it... He's feeling Escaflowne's pain.
I can't believe this guy's the real thing...
Dryden!
Don't worry.
Once Escaflowne's repaired, his wounds will be healed.
If he can survive the pain.
Lord Van... Lord Van's dying...
Merle, hang in there. It'll be okay.
It'll take more than this to kill him.
It'll be okay. If anybody can make it, it's Van.
Right, Merle?
This is the power of Atlantis...
I can see my dream! The pulsing of my ideal future!
He's healed!
There ain't a scratch left on him!
Lord Van!
Thank God! Thank God...
Merle... I guess I scared you, huh?
I can't believe he's actually cured!
It's all because of you. Thank you.
Allen, you saved me again.
It's Dryden and Hitomi you should thank.
Nope, it's all thanks to the little lady here.
Hitomi...
Van, be careful with Escaflowne.
No, I think you shouldn't pilot it anymore.
If Escaflowne's damaged again, the same thing will happen.
If... If it's destroyed, you'll...
I won't let anything happen to Escaflowne.
Van...
Fighters come. Ispano not involved.
You leave.
Zaibach?
Damn it, they're after us already?
Let's go, Allen.
Blood pact.
You use Draconian blood. Ispano can't guarantee.
They can't guarantee it?
You sure picked a subtle place to run to...
Don't you have any Guymelefs?!
Get real! This is a merchant ship!
But if it's display pieces you want, I'm your man.
Don't, Van!
Let Allen and the others do the fighting!
They can't beat them in those Melefs!
Listen to Hitomi!
The Ispano said it, too! They can't make any guarantees!
Don't pilot Escaflowne!
No!
Lord Van!
I can handle Escaflowne.
Van!
Open the door!
Don't go!
Van!
Van...
Okay, people, the dragon hunt ends today.
I'm going to end this myself.
Escaflowne, give me strength!
Attack!
Damn, he's fast! Stealth cloaks!
I can see them... I can see them!
This is for Duke Freid!
This is for Balgus!
W-What's happening?
- Flank him! - What is he?
Lord Dilandau!
Gatty? Shesta?
Dallet!
What is he...?!
Lord Van's winning!
No, something strange is happening to Escaflowne.
Stay away!
And this is for Fanelia...
Prepare to die!
Stop it.
What?
We won't let you kill Lord Dilandau.
What?!
Come with us.
Who are you?!
Lord Dilandau is our patron.
He gave us our glorious Guymelefs.
He bestowed Guymelefs upon us.
We won't let you kill the man who...
B-But you're...
... chose us for his Dragonslayers.
It'll be great... Come with us.
You're...
Stay away from me!
Stop!
What happened to Lord Van?!
Van...
Blue searchlights meet beyond the Moon...
Yeah, my angel who came flying down, who are you?
The doors of destiny are opening before us,
so let's just fall in love.
I can't break free of this moment that's making my heart flutter...
Don't stop baby!
Your mystic eyes are settin' me on fire,
your innocent smile breakin'me down...
You're the only one with that look in your eye.
An endless journey is beginning...
...with this unstoppable pounding in my heart,
and I wanna swoop down and take you with me!
