#12 The Boy and the Planet
Sogo?
Felia...
We made it out alive?
Sorry that I was late.
Don't be.
I mean, you came to save me.
You don't have to be scared now...
It's all over.
You can relax, Felia.
There's nothing to worry about.
Where's Kaon?
What about Roman and Otto?
No matter what may come, I'll be with you forever.
Sogo?
Oh... So everyone's gone.
Yeah, they're all gone.
But I'm right here.
I'll always be by your side.
Are you worried?
I want to protect you.
Yeah...
I can't do anything by myself.
If we're attacked, I might not able to protect you.
That's not...
Oh, I know.
Shall we go?
To a world where you can live in peace, together with me?
A world where I can live in peace?
Yeah, no one will attack you there.
And no one will get hurt.
An ideal world, with happiness for all.
Happiness for all?
Yeah.
Does it really exist?
It does.
If you want to go, I'll come with you.
What?
The walls keep rising higher!
Let's go, Felia.
Okay.
But...
To go to that world, we need a ticket.
A ticket?
Yes, your powers.
Say, how can your powers be activated?
Is there a trigger of some sort?
I don't know...
But they're your powers, you know.
You really are an amusing one...
Then use them, right here and now.
Maybe that'll reveal something about the key to using them.
U-Um...
It's simple. Just use them like you always have.
What's wrong?
Are you going to defy me, Felia?
In order to purge the fools and bring about my utopia,
I need both the Lucifer fragment and the key to activating it.
Hurry up!
You're not...
Who are you?
Felia! Felia!
Felia!
Sogo?
Felia!
It's you, Sogo...
Yeah.
You're safe now.
It's all over.
Thank goodness.
That crest.
Oh, so you are the one.
Who's there?
Sogo!
What the hell is going on?
Sogo?
This is it, the key of destiny that will fulfill my longstanding desire.
Was he consumed?
Give Sogo back!
Aren't I the one you need?
I no longer have any use for the empty shell of an angel.
Sogo!
Stop, air current.
Don't get in my way!
Why won't it stop?
Please! I need to go to Sogo!
The two seeds will soon bear fruit as one fortune.
The key of destiny is in my hands.
Let me go, Moura!
What do you hope to achieve by going?
Right now, you can't even stop these winds.
Even so, I have to go!
Felia!
Because Sogo was always there for me...
No matter how many dangers he had to face, he always came for me.
He saved me a bunch of times!
So now it's my turn to save him, no matter what.
Jeez.
I'm serving one troublesome angel.
Sorry, Moura.
Oh, strong and noble stone servant,
the spirit born of starlight hereby commands thee
to accept my body into thine own.
Pursuing them at top speed.
Hang on tight!
Got it.
Huh?
What's going on?
Sector B5!
The planet of earth is looming.
What?
It's blocking out the sky!
What's the meaning of this?
I don't know.
And we're in danger of being swept away by the winds!
Hear that?
We'll evacuate the southern area.
Roger.
All surviving units, head east.
I've opened the gates to the Bureau's shelters.
Pack, escort the people who lag behind.
You can count on me.
Grab hold of something! Anything!
A truly magnificent view.
How I've longed for this day to come.
Sogo!
Give Sogo back!
That will not happen. I need him.
So that I might unite the lofty planet I serve
with the riches of life on Gift, and bring light to a new dream world.
The planet you serve?
Then you really were an angel's guardian!
Don't! Sogo's in there!
Why must you take Sogo away?
If you're a guardian, you should already have a master!
My master perished...
She was killed
by the people of my home world, what you call the planet of earth.
Your home world? The planet of earth?
But why?
What do you mean, "killed"?
They bit the hand of the angel that fed them.
Under the blessings of my great master,
that planet once boasted riches
unseen anywhere else in the galaxy.
The land was lush with greenery,
and the oceans embraced the shores with its tides.
I was proud that my master created such beauty,
and serving her gave me happiness like nothing else.
Are you really talking about that planet?
And then, the first heartbeat sounded,
and people introduced birth into the world.
They grew rapidly, and spread to all corners of the world until,
eventually, they consumed the planet and my master's powers.
And along with my master, the planet died.
Felia...
Left alone on a planet that had run dry,
I felt despair.
You were all alone?
That was how I saw
a pure, unsullied planet...
I envied it from the bottom of my heart.
It drove me mad, until I hit upon a realization.
That I could start over on that infant planet.
Infant planet?
Gift?
I would find the angel who had descended upon Gift, and take her as my new master.
And so, I came to Gift,
bearing a tiny flame of hope in my heart.
You tried to steal my place as Felia's guardian?
Then why won't you take me instead of Sogo?
Yes, I waited for the day when I would meet you.
For a long time...
As three civilizations came and went.
I had lost my master, grown weak, and I couldn't be picky with my methods.
In the end, I even served that pathetic Zoneboyle.
And that was when I finally found the angel.
Felia...
But would you believe it? She did not bear the key.
The key?
The key to unlock the powers hidden within.
But that did not disappoint me.
If anything, I found it a golden opportunity!
Finally, I understood!
All my suffering up till now must have been a trial.
A trial to make me an almighty angel.
A guardian becoming an angel?
I was born from the same seeds.
Surely it cannot be out of the question!
No, this will be the birth of a new power!
You're nuts!
Cry all you want, filth that must be destroyed.
I do not need that planet of earth,
nor do I need Gift.
Now it is time for me to birth a planet myself,
and ascend the throne as its angel!
You could just take me instead!
Your foolishness never ceases to amaze me.
You are but a vessel.
Your contents, your power... Everything rests in my hands now.
All that remains is the key to its activation.
The crest of destiny!
Sogo?
You shan't hinder me!
But why do you have to crash the planet of earth into Gift?
To fulfill my long-cherished dream, and give birth to a utopian planet!
You're awful.
What do you mean? You are the one who drew that planet toward Gift, angel!
Pardon me...
I suppose I should call you "former angel."
Stop, planet of earth...
Please stop.
I beg of you!
You are a shell that has been stripped of its powers.
What could you possibly do?!
Some angel I am...
I'm wrecking everyone's home.
I'm wrecking Sogo's precious home.
I'm like a demon.
I never should have come here.
But if you hadn't come here from the far reaches of the universe,
Gift would have never fostered life.
I assure you, you're no demon.
I have to save Gift...
I have to save Sogo.
I'm really happy to have served you.
It is time for the planet of earth to kiss Gift.
Sogo!
Why do you persist in coming here?
Because...
There's something I have yet to tell him!
Sogo...
Come back, Sogo.
Did you know this?
Apparently, the stone born on this planet
will have three dreams while it lies dormant within the earth.
The first, a dream that shines more brightly than any crystal.
The second, a dream where it becomes a dazzling jewel.
And the last...
...is a dream where a handsome prince finds it.
Don't go, Felia.
We'll still be together.
I'll be watching over you forever.
I love you, Sogo.
Sogo!
Guys!
I love you, too, Felia.
Professor?
Professor!
Man, he's out looking for crystals again.
