Have you gotten the bad behavior out of your system, Dio?
I'm sorry.
I love my docile Dio.
I'm sorry, Delphine.
I've brought a reward for my darling Dio.
I just know you'll love it.
I'm giving him to you, Dio.
To me?
That's right. He belongs to you.
Who are you?
You have to give him a name.
What name do you want?
Achlys...
Mantis...
Luci... How about Luciola?
Luciola?
Thank you, sir. It is a wonderful name.
Luciola! From now on, you're Luciola!
Go on. Introduce yourself properly.
Yes, Lady Delphine.
My name is Luciola.
I'm Dio! Dio Eraclea!
JUST KEEP ON TRYING, KEEP ON FLYING.
I WILL BE THE LIGHT.
If we think of the dawn as one beginning...
If we think of right now as the time to come...
It's a cloud age symphony together with you...
...off in the direction the light is shining...
...beyond the sea of clouds.
Oh, can I encounter a moment...
...that is just like magic?
in exchange for a cold night,
...the two of us flap our wings...
...and grasp hold of eternity at our journey's end.
Castling Luciola.
Maestro!
My darling children who have just been reborn...
Dio?
You and I will be together forever.
Fifty minutes to operation start!
She has a majestic air about her.
She's the state barge, after all.
Caffeine stings a wounded heart.
I sympathize, sir.
The Urbanus will now join with Her Imperial Majesty...
...to strike back at the cloud-dweller Maestro Delphine!
We will go in ahead of the Silvana! All ahead full!
All ahead full, aye!
We're receiving a message from the Urbanus. I'll put it on the speaker.
Your Majesty, I sympathize with your pain.
My vessel will now act as a shield for the Silvana.
Thank you, Vince.
You haven't called me that in a long time.
When we see Alex, the three of us should have a drink together like we did back at the academy.
When we do, I'll put on some good coffee.
We will now mount an attack on the Guild stronghold in order to sieze Exile.
For the sake of the people of Anatoray and Disith, this operation must succeed.
And the success of this operation hinges upon the rescue of Alvis Hamilton.
What about Claus?!
Don't worry. WE'RE gonna save him.
Yeah!
I'll be the one to save Claus.
Sure...
Listen up, you bozos! Don't let Mullin get all the glory!
Yeah!
What's wrong?
I thought of my crewmates back on the Silvana all of a sudden.
The maintenance crew leader, a guy named Godwin,
...would go, "Mullin, you're the star of the mechanic forces!"
He's this huge guy, and he'd sob like a baby!
Sounds like they had high hopes for you.
Yeah, it got to be a real nuisance.
I've decided.
Dunya, once this operation is over, come to the Silvana with me.
I can come with you?
Yahoo!
Stow the chatter, Mullin!
Sorry, sir.
The sound of rainbird wings...?
11 o'clock! Rainbird flock!
Flocks also spotted at 10 o'clock and 12 o'clock!
They're all headed in the same direction!
Well done, Wina.
Thanks.
Five degrees left rudder! Enter mainstream rainbird path!
Go to silent running immediately!
Correct course, 5 degrees to port, aye!
Cut Unit output by 30%!
The queen can't sacrifice her knight, eh?
Aren't you going to eat, Luciola?
No, lord. I ate earlier.
Oh, you did? Was it good?
Yes, lord. Most delicious.
Oh, you're hopeless.
You didn't care for the rose tea?
In that case, how about Kerasion Mousse?
It contains an ingredient so rare that only one handful is harvested each year.
Lavie's sandwiches taste lots better than food like this!
Oh, you naughty boy...
I hate seeing Dio like that.
I bet you don't like this new Dio, either, right, Luciola?
The Guild?
Just past the sound of rainbird wings, there's a-
10 o'clock! Guild warships!
Guild warships at 10 o'clock! Count, seven!
All hands, prepare for combat!
Watch out for fire from the Guild ships! We'll see some Starfishes, too!
Lavie, can you use this?
It's just for peace of mind. If push comes to shove, you just hightail it.
All you need to risk your life over is your Vanship.
Hard to starboard! Fifteen degrees down trim!
Behind the Guild fleet!
It's Exile!
Last Exile.
May Guild bullets pass Mullin Shetland's body by...
Is that a charm?
Hm? Yeah. If I chant this, I'll manage to survive and get my survival medal.
You chant your name?
Yeah.
May Guild bullets pass Dunya Scheer's body by.
May Guild bullets...
...pass Mullin Shetland's body by.
Dunya...?
Load arms!
The Unit capture operation is beginning.
Charge!
Mullin! Wait, Mullin!
Partholon, Unit secure!
Brionac, secure!
The Fragarach's Unit is detaching!
The Unit! It's-
Mullin!
Conquerant capture failed! She's going down!
The Fortune's Unit is separating!
Gloire capture successful!
Lady Delphine, our Units are under attack by alliance forces.
Luciola.
Yes, milady.
How dare they turn their guns on the Claudia Units I so graciously lent to them.
Perhaps I was too lenient towards them.
Those unable to understand Lady Delphine's kindness will be severely punished.
Recall all of Anatoray and Disith's Units. At once.
Yes, milady.
Luciola!
Let's take Dio and get out of here, Luciola.
Luciola! Luciola!
This is for you, Luciola. Let's not tell my sister, okay?
You're actually hungry, aren't you?
Is it good?
When something tastes good, you have to let it show on your face!
My face, sir?
Listen, Luciola. You and I are-
Claus...
Don't worry.
Dio can't stay here. Neither can you, Luciola.
Come back with us to the Silvana!
Lord Dio...
Operation complete!
Commander, the Unit seizure operation is complete!
Mullin!
Mullin?
Mullin!
Fragments from crushed Guild ship closing off of port bow!
Hard to starboard. Five degrees up trim.
Hard to starboard! Five degrees up trim!
Why don't they just cast that thing loose?
That little shrew...
Delphine has ordered the recall of every Unit.
We already have possession of all the Mysteria.
The Maestro can't control Exile.
Let's hurry. Full power to engines!
See if I care if you break 'em...
We and the Urbanus will now make a charge on the Guild stronghold!
All hands, stand by for close-quarters combat!
Stand by for close-quarters combat!
Maestro, Lord Dio has-
What about Dio?
He is nowhere to be found.
You don't mean to say that Alvis is gone, too, do you?
I can offer no excuse.
Where is Luciola?
A Vanship!
It's ship 5, Claus!
Take Lord Dio.
Luciola...
What's this?
Lord Dio said to give that to you in thanks for celebrating his birthday..
He did?
This is from me.
This will link you to the safest ship in the world.
I can talk to Lavie with this, right?
Once you're outside, call them.
I will. Thanks!
Now, go. Hurry.
What about Alex?
Forget about the Captain.
All you're capable of right now is taking Alvis and Lord Dio away from here.
Luciola!
Alvis needs your help.
As does Lord Dio.
Go hurry.
If you resist, I will kill all three of you right here.
Luciola!
What can you do by yourself?
I am going to eliminate those who would injure Lord Dio.
Luciola. Where did you take Lord Dio?
He has left the palace.
The Maestro will make you pay for what you've done.
Can you defeat Cicada?
If he turns against Lord Dio.
Where have you been, Luciola?
Maestro, grant Lord Dio his freedom.
If Dio asks me that with his own lips, I might consider it.
Know your place, Luciola!
Magnificent, Luciola.
Now, come to me. I'll give you a reward.
Set Lord Dio free.
If that's what you want, Luciola...
Go ahead. Take it.
Why did you let my precious Dio escape?
I merely-
How odd. You aren't even friends, so why?
What are you to Dio, Luciola?
Answer me, Luciola. What are you to Dio?
Listen, Luciola. You and I are friends!
I am Lord Dio's friend.
Are you, now?
Wonderful!
Wonderful, Luciola!
Nighttime is fast approaching.
You are near, yet so far away.
What do you admire?
Who do you care for?
Words catch in my throat at the sight...
...of people risking their lives...
...and of diaphanous beauty.
If you are going to travel the skies,
...I want to become your wings.
One day, I promise that I will have...
...supple wings that will never snap...
...no matter how strong the wind may be.
Norkia?! What the heck are you doing there?!
Rain is coming in through a big hole in the roof.
The vegetables were a mess, and the bread was a lost cause, too.
And your mayonnaise was...
What kind of eyewitness account is this supposed to be?
Next time on Last Exile, episode 24. "Sealed Move. "
Our heroine is in danger...
And Claus is out there having my special stash of smoked meat for dinner with a young girl!
