Emergency message 1505.
An observation plane has vanished 75 nautical miles off Isla's southern tip.
Attention, observer squads.
You are to take off at once, and begin operations in the designated area.
Repeat: You are to take off at once, and begin operations in the designated area.
Everyone, try not to do anything stupid,
and keep the observer plane's sacrifice from being in vain.
Benji, if it hurts, switch with someone.
It's no problem.
I can handle the cameras.
Take care of him, Sharon.
Right.
This is our last mission for Isla.
Let's make sure we don't lose anyone!
Yeah!
They look like real pilots now.
Yes.
Over the past six months, Kal-el Albus particularly has matured.
Well, with everything that's happened...
Electrical systems, hydrogen battery stack, oil, and trim all okay.
Kal, sorry I'm late!
Altitude adjustment—
You're going to fly like that?
Shut up.
Last night, I tuned up all four planes,
so don't worry, everyone!
I'm going, Mother...
Michael...
Claire.
Kal this is...
The End of the Sky!
After that battle,
Episode 12: The End of the Sky
we temporarily succeeded in driving off the Sky Clan.
I'm honored to meet you, Governor Nina Viento.
I am Marcos Guerrero, commander of the Holy Levamme Empire's fleet
for the exploration of the Holy Spring theater.
We can understand each other's language.
On behalf of Isla, I welcome you.
We are very grateful for your assistance.
Governor Nina Viento, I would love if you could visit the Holy Levamme Empire,
and speak with High Consul Fana Levamme.
Is she...
She is known as the Holy Mother of the Western Seas, our nation's empress.
She gives off a feeling very similar to yours.
Young, intelligent, and beautiful...
And rather stubborn, as well.
What?
Hey!
I see...
The Saint Aldista's seed, is it?
In this world,
some countries are separated, like isolated islands,
but they share the same myths and roots.
Like Levamme or your homeland,
or the Sky Clan.
But you cannot negotiate with the Sky Clan.
Thanks to their continued opposition,
we can't even cross over the Holy Spring,
let alone get close to the End of the Sky.
Then Isla is in grave danger?
If we keep fighting,
we will exhaust our resources, and end up buried in the Holy Spring.
Excuse me.
What is it?
An unidentified plane flew overhead, leaving this message.
This is surprising.
The Sky Clan has offered a truce.
But they desire something in exchange.
Something in exchange?
What is it?
Both of them will survive.
And they'll wake up soon.
Now the teachers are the only problem.
I heard they'll be punished for disobeying orders.
We'll be just fine.
Don't worry about us.
We aren't so far gone that we need you students to worry over us.
How did you get here?
A certain someone got us out here.
A certain someone?
"Pervert weird-beard" is a better name for him.
The Council of Four has entered into discussions with the Sky Clan.
Most likely, there won't be any more battles.
Then will Isla...
...get through the Holy Spring safely?
All right!
But in return, they're requesting one thing.
They want Nina Viento, AKA Claire Cruz.
Be quick, but be careful.
Thank you for everything.
You did well, to last until the end.
If we believe what the Sky Clan's message says...
In their creation myth,
someone called the "Girl Who Calls the Wind" is prophesied to arrive.
The "Girl Who Calls the Wind," Saint Aldista's daughter,
will arrive on a floating island from beyond the waterfall,
and lead the Sky Clan to new prosperity.
So to them, this is a legendary messiah's arrival.
Yes.
They want her so much,
they're willing to bend their policy of killing any who enters the Holy Spring.
Nina... No, Claire Cruz...
I'm the one who brought you to Isla.
I can't just let—
I'm grateful to you, Admiral.
By coming to Isla, I've gained something wonderful.
But if I do not go to the Sky Clan, Isla will...
I don't want to lose anything else.
Allow me to do my duty.
Claire...
I can't believe it...
Claire is Nina Viento?
But now that you mention it, it does kind of make sense.
I was hiding who I really was...
In a way, I guess we're similar.
What will you do, Kal-el Albus?
Well?
What will you do, Kal?
I don't know.
But I want to meet her, and talk to her.
I understand what's happening,
but it hurts too much to accept.
It means we're sacrificing Claire!
I won't let that happen.
I...
You like Claire? As a girl?
Wh-What are you saying all the sudden?
It's okay... Just say it.
I do.
I see.
What... That's it?
I gave you a serious answer.
Ari, that's dangerous...
You'll fall.
I'm fine, I'm fine.
All right.
Let's go see Claire.
But how?
Don't worry, I have an idea.
Then it's decided.
Goodnight.
A-Ari!
Kal!
What?
Dummy!
What's with her?
So how do we get in?
You said you had an idea, right?
Yeah.
Excuse me.
Hey!
We're friends of Claire. Could we see her?
Who are you?
A-Ari!
Hey, Claire!
Hey, stop it.
Let them through.
What are you saying?
It's Governor Nina Viento's final request.
Let them through.
Ignacio, you...
Nice timing!
I was hoping you'd show up.
There are thirty minutes until she leaves.
This is your last chance.
Come in.
Claire!
Thank you for coming, both of you.
Claire...
You've decided, then...
This is from everyone in the dorm.
They're all grateful to you.
But I don't want to say goodbye.
Because if I do, it will feel like I'll never see you again.
So I came to say, "See you again."
Ari...
This isn't goodbye.
We'll see each other again.
We will see each other again!
I'm happy that I made friends...
I never thought I could.
But thanks to you...
Claire...
Ari...
See you again, Claire.
I'm glad I met you, too!
Claire...
Kal-el...
I don't want to let you go!
Now that we finally know how we feel, I don't want to say goodbye.
Let's run away, Claire.
I know...
We can go to the runaway, and hijack a La Guardia.
Kal...
It'll be fine... I'll make sure of it.
I won't lose to the Sky Clan!
If we can get from the Holy Spring to the sea,
we can find an island with no one on it...
We can reach the End of the Sky together.
I'll stay with you forever!
Thank you, Kal.
I'm really happy you feel that way.
But I'm not going just to be a sacrifice.
I'm going so I can fight my battle.
Like Ari and everyone... Like you taught me, Kal.
Claire...
A good luck charm.
Just look at it, and think of me.
I won't say goodbye.
Like Ari said...
We'll see each other again!
Claire...
Claire!
Claire...
Claire!
Kal!
What's going on?
That boy...
Claire...
I'll find the End of the Sky,
and we'll all make it back safely...
And once this journey ends,
I'll come back here!
I don't know how many years it will take,
but I'll come back to get you!
I'll do my best, too!
Kal!
Ari...
This is goodbye.
Twenty guards will be accompanying Claire.
I've protected Claire since I was a child.
I'll merely be doing it there, too.
Igna...
Don't forget the promise you just made.
No, of course not.
I will not allow anyone to lay a finger on Claire.
I promise you that.
You're such a tsundere, Igna.
Make sure you return, stupid older brother.
No matter how many years it takes, you'd better return!
He just called me "older brother."
No way... You're imagining it.
I'll be glad to be rid of your ugly faces...
Ignacio Axis, why are you smiling?
No reason.
Isla continued its journey...
Through the Holy Spring, and across the great sea.
Since then, it's been six months.
And we've made it this far at last.
And finally, today...
Wow... The sky...
This is...
The End of the Sky!
Everyone's already evacuated, right?
Yeah.
By now, they should all be aboard the Levamme escort fleet.
Bring us to a stop.
Any closer, and we'll be caught up in that, too.
A rainbow of light...
Just like the legend of Saint Aldista says.
Impossible...
The legends weren't just stories.
They told us how our world really is?
The flagstone created the Holy Spring and the End of the Sky.
Part of the flagstone flew up from within the Holy Spring,
and it became an island that floated in the sky.
The flying island slowly passed above human heads,
across three seas,
and eventually returned to the rainbow at the End of the Sky.
Here we go, Kal!
Yeah!
Let's celebrate!
Can you see it, Mitty?
I'm a real pilot now...
I made it to the End of the Sky.
Wolf...
Everyone.
Yeah, we're all together.
Let's do a victory dance.
Look, Kal!
Isla is...
...disappearing.
No... No!
Don't cry, Nanako!
Watch...
Make sure you don't forget it.
Goodbye!
Goodbye, Isla!
Thank you!
Thank you, Isla!
Thank you!
Farewell.
Thank you.
Thank you!
It's gone...
Yeah.
It's me, Ignacio.
I guess he made it back.
He was saying how he'd come get Claire...
Episode 13 The Sky Where You Are
Let's see how you do, stupid older brother.
