Is that...
...what Felia was talking about?
The ring of light?
Felia's powers gushed out and unleashed it.
Unleashed?
The Altar of Abyss must be there!
Felia!
Sogo...
Felia,
look at that.
That's the...
Let's go to the Altar of Abyss.
Yeah.
#08 Path
How do we get there?
If only there were an easy way...
We might be able to use the waterway.
Look! This river seems to flow all the way there.
But how?
Due to the volume of its cockpit, the R7 can float on water,
so if we make a raft...
Then we all can go!
All right!
Let's split up and get everything we need for a raft!
Otto.
Over here, next!
Okay.
This should be enough to get by...
No!
You need to eat.
P-Please no mushrooms!
Don't worry.
I checked, and they're edible.
See?
No means no!
This rich, spicy aroma...
It's a p-pot!
Why is there curry in the middle of the forest?
It smells great!
Is this edible?
It's way too suspicious.
But this is a somewhat familiar aroma.
Yeah, I made that curry.
No way!
Why?
I figured I'd give you kids a surprise.
Do Mon!
You must be starving, right?
The flight-attachment came sooner than expected.
It's too late!
If we'd had these in the last battle,
we could've finished them off!
Al, have we received any new information?
About that.
I've been trying to contact Honeybee, but...
This smells like a ripe palymia fruit...
Might be edible when it's cooked.
Professor Amagi?
Yes.
Your mission will be to guard and observe her.
I heard from the higher-ups.
She's important enough to mobilize the army for, huh?
She came up with the Lima Theory.
The theory that says
that matter from outer space may produce more energy than Giftdium.
I can't believe you'd dedicate so many resources to a fairy tale like that.
You're so eccentric.
Perhaps.
But be it a fairy tale or a heretical fantasy,
that matters not to me.
As long as it can take this planet to greater heights.
Well, whatever.
I'll just do as ordered,
and eliminate the enemies standing in your way.
Please stay still...
At least while I'm looking through the microscope.
Yes? Come in!
If you're busy, we can come back later.
Oh!
You're the one who read my paper, right?
I'm Ena Amagi.
Pleased to meet you.
I'm Gulf Zoneboyle.
I'm going to have one of my men guard you.
The name's Hajime Do Mon.
Please let me aid your efforts to bring more prosperity to this planet!
We will take off for the Berberine resort momentarily.
Please make sure your seatbelts are fastened.
I sent word that you'd leave for the meeting
as soon as your work is done, maybe even tomorrow.
But I believe the elders of the Council
will soon be taking their leave...
Forever.
They disappoint me.
How could they not sympathize with your desire to bring this planet greater glory?
I daresay no one will be left to stand in your way now.
The time has finally come, huh?
Do Mon...
Where have you been?
Oh, I just went looking for some edible foodstuffs.
The raft's almost complete.
Let's leave first thing tomorrow.
Sogo...
What?
Stop right here.
Don't go any farther.
What are you talking about?
Go down the eastern branch of this river.
It will take you to Garden Indigo.
Why would you say that?
The people you're trying to take on are soldiers.
If you keep going,
you'll die.
I don't need you tell me that.
But I have to go!
I want to protect Felia!
And if I die trying, isn't that on me?
It's none of your business.
Protecting someone isn't as easy as you think!
Sogo!
What's wrong?
You're willing to put your friends in harm's way?
Do you want that red crystal so badly?!
That worthless piece of trash?
Do Mon?
Your mother lost her life because of it...
Because of that filth, of all things.
People can die at the drop of a hat.
And no matter how you lament,
they'll never come back to life.
Don't let it get you down.
But that probably doesn't help, huh?
Do Mon loves Sogo.
That's right.
Sogo loves you all.
Yeah.
And I love you all very much, too.
And yet...
A lot has happened today.
So let's get some rest.
Okay.
I heard that some folks are sniffing around this research...
You'd best be careful.
My calculations were right.
There are signs that matter from outer space landed in the Bolvia region.
The concentration also matches the figures observed at Indigo.
My theory really was—
I'm sorry! Did you need something?
I'm telling you to be careful and pay attention to your surroundings.
I'm not your butler, you know?
Well, I'm happy that I get to enjoy your delicious coffee all the time.
The members of the Bureau don't agree on everything.
Some wouldn't want Giftdium replaced as our primary energy source.
Right...
Anyway, if you ever need help, call this number.
I'll rush to your aid at once.
Hey, Sogo!
At least say hello!
He's really grown.
All done!
This is Lucifer...
I need to hurry and tell Do Mon and the rest!
All signals go.
I repeat, all signals go.
Quickly dispose of anything or anyone that could be an impediment.
After gaining control of the facility, retrieve as much information about its backers as possible.
Engaging target.
Very well.
Do Mon?
You can't have that...
Get your hands off me!
Do Mon...
Please take care of Sogo...
Ena!
Stop right there!
Stay back!
Ena...
Ena!
They say there was nothing left of her.
At least her son wasn't ith her at the time, I guess.
Apparently, the father died in an accident before he was born, too.
I hope someone will take him in...
The poor thing.
There you are.
Hey...
I really can't leave Felia alone.
I know that Do Mon's right,
and that it'll be even more dangerous from now on.
It's not like I want to put the others in harm's way.
So let's head for the Altar of Abyss in a group of three.
We two will keep Felia safe!
Sogo, you care so much for Felia...
You really are hopeless without me around!
I'm counting on you.
But of course!
A weird talking stone...
And a weird human, who accepted it without batting an eye.
Man, we make one strange duo...
Maybe the time has finally come to tell you...
About Felia and me.
This universe is home to countless life forms.
Moura?
And all of them originate from the "seeds of life,"
which drift across space, like feathers on the wind.
Seeds of life?
When those seeds descend upon a planet fit to bear life,
they birth an angel that will foster life, as the planet's avatar.
An angel?
Right.
And the angel born to planet Gift...
Felia...
In other words, Felia is the very embodiment of this planet.
And I was also born from those seeds, as the guardian to protect that angel.
I'm Felia's fated servant.
So every inhabitable planet has its own Felia and Moura?
Now that Felia's out of the earth, if she continues using her powers,
she'll wither and fade away, unless she replenishes them at the Altar.
Does she know about this?
Because you vowed to protect her with me,
I wanted you to know.
Felia will...
Let's protect Felia!
Yeah.
The two of us, together.
My pass?
I'm borrowing it for a while. I have some business with the Bureau.
Do Mon!
Your aim still skews to the right when you shoot from the hip.
How many times have I told you to correct that?
You have some nerve, showing your face to me!
You're...
To me...
To me, you're the greatest soldier I know!
I don't belong in this world anymore.
Quit messing with me!
The Hajime Do Mon you knew died in that operation.
As if I'd accept that nonsense!
I'm still fighting my own war,
Do Mon!
Sogo?
Early this morning,
a flight chartered by Administrative Bureau Council members
went missing en route to Berberine.
The passengers included all the Council members except Secretary Gulf Zoneboyle.
No details are available at this time.
Stay gentle, Kaon.
Otto, stay reliable.
And Roman, stay awesome.
Are you sure about this?
Yeah.
Let's go, Felia.
Close your eyes, and you'll remember that familiar taste.
Open your eyes, and you'll see that gentle taste.
