I told you to get rid of that thing...
This truck's a piece of junk.
Sure is.
Quit yer moanin'!
Ya can always walk!
I'd love to retire this thing.
Your husband just doesn't make enough money—
How could you!
It isn't Pedro's fault. It's the economy.
I'm sure Kal and Ari will be surprised when they hear Noelle's married, with a kid.
So many people...
They've all come to see tomorrow's welcoming ceremony.
Welcoming ceremony, huh?
The government has some nerve, considering that they sent all those people to Isla to get rid of them.
And there we go!
Hop in, you two. It's gettin' late.
Tomorrow, we have to be first on-site.
After all, it's the lil' ones' big day.
Yeah!

I had nowhere to run
Gazing out from my window
Was all I could handle
I never had the faintest inkling
Of what you were trying to tell me back then
As we lived our lives in a world
Clouded over in despair
The winds of change started blowing
I felt like I could fly anywhere with you
Grasping at the newfound freedom I had
I was still living in a world where ignorance was bliss
Under an all too immature
Azure sky
Episode 13
The Sky Where You Are
Speed: 15 knots.
As planned, we'll be home by morning.
Then our journey's finally at an end.
It's been a while.
But learning our world looks like this is a surprise.
The three seas Saint Aldista created to catch the rain
are these three oceans, in a staircase formation.
The first stair, the second stair, and the third... Three seas.
Supporting them, the giant bedrock is the flagstone.
And this edge is the End of the Sky.
A rainbow wall created to keep seawater from pouring off the edge.
The water is absorbed by the wall and temporarily destroyed...
...before spurting up from the Holy Spring, which is the center of the world.
This shape... It resembles a larger Isla.
Perhaps our world is actually a special structure that Saint Aldista created.
Balsteros is located here.
We passed through the Holy Spring and this sea, where the Holy Levamme Empire lies.
We then went to the End of the Sky, and returned.
It's hard to believe, and I was there...
I doubt the hard-headed idiots in the government will believe it.
Hard-headed idiots?
What are you trying to say?
You little—
Enough.
If Balsteros and Levamme work together,
we could solve even deeper mysteries of this world.
High Consul Fana Levamme is of the same mind.
But it'll be hard to persuade Balsteros.
We have all the cards we need.
You're...
Nina Viento—no,
Claire Cruz's friend.
When she left, I saw you at the Mercurius flight zone.
Is that all?
You are Leopald Melze, former commander of the Balsteros Imperial Army.
The Imperial Army?
Why bring that up?
It's been almost ten years since the Wind Revolution.
Impossible.
It's been a long time, sir.
We last met at the palace when I was only a child.
Everyone, I'm seeing something unbelievable!
It's the return of the flying island Isla and its crew!
With the help of our unknown ally,
the Holy Levamme Empire!
I would like to begin by thanking Saint Aldista,
and all those who waited for and believed in us!
After making peace with the Sky Clan,
we passed through the Holy Spring and back to the sea,
where we set course for the Holy Levamme Empire.
Admiral Luis told them everything.
That the legendary Sky Clan was real.
That we fought them.
And how we met the Holy Levamme Empire.
About Isla's end.
Now then, I'd like to introduce someone to you all.
The former Balsteros Empire's crown prince...
Karl La Hire!
Hello, everyone.
I am the one who was once known as Karl La Hire.
I have revealed my identity
because I'd like to make a request.
Kal!
No way!
Wait, what? Are you serious?
The prince died in the revolution!
Don't be fooled. He's a fake!
I have not come here to discuss politics with you.
I would like to retrieve someone.
She went to enemy lands as a hostage,
so Isla could continue its voyage.
Her name is Nina Viento!
Yes, the leader of the Wind Revolution that you all remember so well.
The Governor of Isla, Nina Viento.
When I first arrived at Isla, I hated her.
I hated the power of the wind that had taken my rank and my mother away from me...
I participated in the Isla plan to take revenge on her.
But Isla taught me so much.
The people I met there spoke to me and led me.
To forgive, not hate!
That, alone, can bring us a better tomorrow.
We can build a happy future for everyone.
I want to retake the girl I love!
At her side,
I want to create the future!
The girl he loves?
Does that mean...
I...
I love Nina Viento!
Everyone, please let us begin a second Isla Plan!
I want to start a journey to force the Sky Clan to open relations with us, and retake Nina!
I'm surprised.
This is more than I expected.
To take advantage of the historical romance, and bring the public to our side...
Wasn't that your plan, Foreign Affairs Minister?
Yes.
In every era, people have always loved drama.
With their support,
it's quite possible to overthrow the revolutionary government.
Why didn't you tell me until the last second?
I didn't want you opposing me.
Also, I wanted to see your reaction when I did.
It's just in my nature. I hope you'll find it in you to forgive me.
Especially after all we've been through.
That won't happen.
Governor, hold out just a bit more.
We'll be there soon.
And the man you love will be with us.
Hey, Kal!
That was amazing.
Stop it, Noripii.
That was quite the declaration!
You were great. Really wonderful, Kal!
My face is still all red!
Yeah. It was so sappy, I thought you were gonna start growing roots on the spot!
Amazing.
The entire audience probably has diabetes now.
If only you'd use that sugar to fuel your brain!
When Kal first told us about his identity and his plan, I was stunned.
Oh, come on. It was wonderful.
I'm sure Claire will be happy.
Thank you.
Come, everyone, and let's take a picture.
I heard you're going to teach at a civilian flight school?
Yeah.
Teaching little kids like you.
The butch girl will be tagging along.
I'm sorry. Did you just call me butch?!
Weirdo...
If you want, you can go right back to the military.
I'm going to try and become a teacher again.
I'll miss you, but I wish you all the best of luck.
If you all grow up to be splendid adults,
that would make me happier than anything...
Teacher!
I will never forget how you saved me.
Nor will I.
Me, neither!
Everyone...
I'm taking the picture.
Here I go.
Cadoques High, Aerial Division, today, you cease to be students.
Happy graduation!
H-Huh?
Where's the RA?
Contact the motherland.
Yes, ma'am.
If there's a new Isla Plan, we'll have to intervene.
Kal, look!
Welcome back!
Kal, Ari!
You've grown up so much!
You two...
Welcome back, kids.
I'm home!
You got even bigger.
What've they been feedin' ya?
I'm back, Dad!
Don't cry. You're a man, now.
Kal... Ari...
Serenading a Certain Pilot
Welcome home!
Serenading a Certain Pilot
It sounds good.
Ari tunes it all herself.
It's a miracle she even lets me pilot the thing.
She thinks she's a real engineer, huh?
We were both in this when we saw the End of the Sky.
It was amazing.
I couldn't have imagined it.
I see.
Hang on tight!
I need to talk to you about something.
Tomorrow, I'm going back to Alexandra.
There are many things I need to do before my new journey.
Go for it.
Aren't you gonna save the woman you love?
That's so great. That's my son!
Yeah?
Damn! You really have grown up!
Startin' a fight involvin' the whole world, all to save yer girl, huh?!
Go up!
Fly even higher.
Right.
Everyone... Cheers!
Today's a feast!
You won't be eatin' like this for a while...
Look at who I've got!
Just look at him.
He's all grown up, and it's kind of weird.
Kal, this is...
The Aerial Knights' next main fighter plane, the Maestra.
Its top speed is over 700 kmph.
A fixed-wing single seater.
Admiral Luis got me a prototype.
So single-wing, single seaters are the future, huh?
Times sure have changed.
I'm off.
Yeah.
I'm looking forward to meeting your wife.
Yeah, I'll bring her back.
Don't do anything too crazy.
That's right.
Make sure you come back!
Yeah. Believe in me, Noelle and Manuelle.
Kal...
Ari...
You aren't saying good-bye to me?
N-No, that isn't true...
Well, it's a bit late for that!
And I don't like big good-byes.
Ari...
I...
Well, thank you.
It was because of you...
...that I...
Kal...
Ari...
You were about to say something cheesy, weren't you?
I felt it coming, so I punched you on reaction.
Sorry!
What?
I haven't even said anything yet!
Why act like this now?
Yeah, okay.
I get it. Now, go.
Go, get Claire, and then head home!
That's all you have to do.
Ari...
Go!
I said go, dummy!
Yeah, I know.
I'm going. I'm going!
I'll be back!
Don't come back until you have her!
You don't have to tell me!
Jeez... You sure are pushy for a little sister!
I'll do anything for my little brother!
I think you've got it mixed up again!
Little brother!
Little sister!
I'll be back, everyone.
Good-bye, my prince.
Some love songs can't be sung.
It's for the best, isn't it?
Isn't it?
You'd better return, stupid brother!
And bring Claire with you!
Yes? Who is it?
Is this the residence of Mitsuo Fukuhara's parents?
Y-Yes.
My name is Chiharu de Lucia.
I was a fellow student.
I wanted to give you this personally.
I heard you made the Ciela Sazard Aerial Guard.
Congratulations.
When will you be leaving?
Next month.
I need to prepare.
By the time the flowers bloom, we'll be over Haizuran skies.
I want to be your right arm.
Sharon...
So just wait a little while.
I'll do my best, and I'll catch up soon.
You'll come see me on your days off, right?
Of course.
In a plane, 500 kilometers is nothing.
Congratulations on your return!
Banzai! Banzai! Banzai!
Thanks!
Seriously, what's wrong with you?
Everyone returned to their lives.
And then...
Together we ride a bicycle through the dusk so fast the night will never catch us
Enemy flying fortress, distance 30,000 meters.
They're here.
We ride through the burning clouds on a stairway to heaven
Sir.
Open fire.
Fighters, engage enemy escorts.
Bombers, attack enemy fortress!
Let's make the stars our next goal once we reach heaven
A light breaks the sky
That's the silver fox!
I felt we could go anywhere,
though we are no longer who we were yesterday
We will remember the promises we had to let go of
Thanks!
and we will continue on our journey
Come on!
I felt we could go anywhere,
I'm almost there.
Wait for me, okay?
though we are no longer who we were yesterday
Kal...
We will remember the promises we had to let go of
Kal?
Claire?
and we will continue on our journey
Kal, the sky's so blue again today, isn't it?
I feel we can go anywhere together
Do you remember the day we first met?
Yeah, I'll never forget it!
when we embrace our first love
Ever since I first saw you,
The future is as yet undecided,
you were the only one I ever cared for.
and our place is in it
I'm coming, Claire...
To the sky where you are!
Beyond the rainbow is a vast, blue sky
I'll take her back.
And then, I'll never let her go.
We'll be together forever, flying through this sky.
Flying in an infinite summer sky, singing an endless song of love!
