What was that shock?
An explosion on the outside of the ship!
Where did the explosion happen?
I'll check!
A coupler for the gravity control system's damaged!
Is it having any effect on the inside of the ship?
We're fine.
This is bad! It's become impossible to release the gravity control unit!
What?
That's impossible!
Can we fix it with the drones?
No! The gravitational field outside is too chaotic!
It's impossible for the drones.
What's wrong? What happened?
At this rate we won't be able to release the gravity control unit.
What's going to happen?
I don't want to think about it...
...but even I know what that means.
To where everyone is.
I'll go by myself. Everyone, get off the ship.
What do you plan to accomplish by going alone?
Crash the ship into the gravity storm.
That's too reckless!
There isn't any other way.
Idiot! You're the one who said we weren't going so we could die, weren't you Kaoru?
I'll go!
Kaoru, you take everyone and go back to the planet.
It's impossible for you to pilot, Bell!
They need you to pilot the escape shuttle, Kaoru!
Just give me orders by radio!
Wait! Don't decide this for yourself!
If you're going, I'm going too!
That's right!
We'll all go!
But...
Kaoru...
It's pointless.
No matter what you say, the rest of our feelings won't change.
How much time do you think we've spend together?
Through painful times and sad times, we overcame them all together!
The sadness of losing one of our friends would be too painful to bear.
So don't think that way again!
We can't allow you to go by yourself!
It's dangerous! Everyone take your seats and fasten your seat belts!
Survive, are you ready?
It seems this will be my final act in fulfilling my duty.
The gravity storm's affect is causing more disturbances!
Everyone, I'm sorry.
From here on, Survive and I will go alone.
What did you say?
With Survive?
What do you mean?
Kaoru, I'm counting on you.
Everyone, brace yourselves for the jet blast.
Wait! What you sayin'?
I can't remove the belt!
Launch in five seconds!
Three... two... one...
Luna!
Idiot! Weren't we always gonna be together?
Luna...
Luna, what are you planning to do?
What you were planning to do alone, Kaoru.
You mean crash the ship into the gravity storm?
I don't how well it will work, but I'll definitely try.
Idiot! We said if anyone was going, we were all going!
Howard... thank you.
Why did you decide for yourself?
There wasn't enough time.
Sorry, Menori.
Take care of everyone.
It's no use!
I can't let you act on your own!
Once you've used the gravity control unit, will you be able to get back?
I'll take any and every chance I get. Thanks, Shingo.
Luna! Don't forget what I'm about to tell you!
No matter what happens, don't give up!
Thanks, Bell. I won't give up.
Luna, I couldn't bear it if you died!
Come back! Make sure you come back!
Thanks, Sharla.
We'll definitely see each other again.
It's a promise.
I'll wait... however long as it takes.
Luna, why'd you leave me behind?
You tryin' to leave me all alone again?
You're not alone anymore, Chako. You have everyone now.
Yeah, but...
Chako, I won't forget those words.
When something bad happens, look up at the sky!
You can't brood over it forever.
In your heart, there's always...
...a blue sky.
I don't want you to!
Don't go, Luna!
Luna!
Thanks, Adam, Tako.
All of you, shape this planet's future.
Luna!
Everyone, off I go!
We'll be waiting for you.
Make sure you come back!
Luna...
Transfer all the energy flow to the gravity control unit!
Beginning analysis of gravitational field.
Inverting output of exotic controller.
Adding in Gluon controller.
Tensor eigenvalues diverging.
Turning gravity storm's energy upon itself.
Eigenvalues converging. Inversion successful.
Let's go!
Creating inverse gravitational field.
Gravity control unit to maximum output!
It's started.
Activating energy absorption.
Defending with a nano-barrier.
The Gluon controller's processing speed cannot keep up with the speed at which the gravitational field is changing!
Keep at it!
I cannot endure any more than this!
No! Don't give up!
It's impossible to process any faster! It's at my limit!
Not yet!
At this rate the ship shall collapse!
Have you forgotten? Survive until the very end!
Oh no!
The ship is...
Don't give up! Even if my body turns to dust!
Luna...
Live!
Luna!
The space ship has disappeared from the radar!
But...
But it doesn't seem like they were able to destroy the gravity storm.
Luna! Is Luna okay?
That much...
Look at this!
The gravity storm's course has changed! It's moving away from the planet!
Can you hear me?
The gravity storm's course has changed! The operation was a success!
She did it.
She saved the planet.
And Luna...
Luna...
Luna.
Dad!
Luna.
Dad!
I guess I really did it.
Yes, you accomplished everything.
You saved the planet, and everyone's lives.
Good.
You've worked very hard, Luna.
What's wrong?
All this time, I've wanted you to praise me, Dad.
It's like that's why I kept trying so hard.
When really...
When really I was just a crybaby.
I guess. Even though you're only fourteen, it looks like what I said to you made you grow up very quickly.
It's okay.
From now on, don't be so reckless.
As long as you're careful with your life, I'll be happy.
Okay.
Well, off I go.
You should go back to where everyone is.
Dad!
We can see each other again any time. Goodbye, Luna.
Dad!
Have you regained consciousness, Luna?
Survive, was it you?
Was it you who let me see my father?
It was your heart that let you.
When the nanomachines and your mysterious power became one...
...that power may have created a new world.
A new world?
The limitless possibilities people have.
I have changed my mind.
I will entrust the planet's future to you people.
Create a world where people and machines can cooperate and live in harmony with nature.
Survive...
And with that, my duty is also complete.
Luna!
She did it!
Survive protected her with a nanomachine shield!
Everyone...
Those were the people of this planet.
The fleet that had long wandered space as nomads...
...had long ago received the message that Adam's parents and their colleagues had sent...
...and had returned now, after the thousand years it was to have taken for the climate to return to normal.
And thus...
You're really going?
Yes, although we're a little sad.
I mean, we did finally get a space ship.
We have to go before the gravity storm disappears, after all.
But it's dangerous!
There's no guarantee you'll make it home to your colony!
But there's a chance.
Exactly!
This space ship can just about perfectly control gravitational fields using Higgs Bosons.
It's certainly worth giving it a try.
Adam, stay healthy.
If we get back to our colony, we'll remember our experiences on this planet.
And we'll make sure they learn from the mistakes your people made.
Everyone...
And I'll work hard to follow in my parents' footsteps.
I'll work with everyone to protect this planet!
Yes!
Adam...
Take care of it.
To me?
But it's precious to you, isn't it?
That's why I'm giving it to you.
Menori...
Between planets, peoples, and languages, music never changes.
It reaches the hearts of all people.
Some day, it will be a bridge that links our planets together.
Menori! Thank you! I'll take good care of it!
Tako, you stay healthy too.
Yes, you too, Chako.
And everyone else too!
Well everyone, off we go!
So much happened.
So much it's hard to put it all in words.
Come to think of it, in the end we never gave a name to this planet.
Sharla...
Planet...
...Survive! How about that?
That name fits it perfectly!
Survive!
It's a good name.
It really is.
Our second homeworld, Survive.
Goodbye, Survive.
The gravity storm has come into view!
Everyone, take your seats!
Here we go!
Are you well? Now I'm the pilot of a Mars shuttle.
When I'm nearby, I might be able to stop in.
We've reached our goals for the settlement of planet Albion.
I'm hoping my next assignment will be Earth.
I've finally finished writing out our adventure!
Make sure you read it! It's really interesting!
I'm looking down on Saturn from Titan.
And when I become a mechanic on a transport ship to the constellation Pegasus, I plan on seeing the hot Jupiter.
Sorry for being out of touch.
It's busy work being my father's private secretary.
I want to become a commonwealth parliament member and open trade with Planet Survive.
And I also want to see Adam.
Hey, doing well?
It's the great Howard, number one actor in the universe.
So hurry up and watch one of my movies already!
You haven't even watched one, have you?
Anyways, make sure you watch the next one.
As usual.
You can finally take the helmet off.
Chako!
The fruits of our labour have finally bloomed.
That's good air!
It sure is!
Right?
Dad... we've finally come this far.
Keeping the Tree of Life growing is hard work...
...but I'm working hard to make Earth like it originally was.
Because I feel like this really is our homeworld.
Well, there's lots'a stuff to do today!
Let's get to work, Luna!
Alright!
Off to work!
