The wind flows away...
...across the faded landscape
Gently reviving my memories
As I proceed down these familiar paths,
There's no going back
The first lies, the final words
The promise we made that day...
...has crumbled and scattered away
An intense but short-lived fragment of memory
And even if I awaken from the dream...
...we once both shared
I'll never forget this feeling, not ever
Those remembered days will shine on, even now
Escaping from the trapar loss area!
Both lift and propulsion are returning.
The ship will stabilize soon!
What about the enemy ship?
No signs of enemy ships within detectable range.
And Type The End?
No response.
Don't fret. Second Lieutenant Dominic! Once we have a hand on the situation,
we'll immediately head to recover that doll--
Second Lieutenant?
I've got an open alarm on one of the aft launch doors!
One of the life-boards has been launched!
Dammit, he's going off on his own again!
EPISODE 13 THE BEGINNING
I know...
I know my name...
Uh-huh... My name is Renton Thurston.
I remember.
Daddy thumb...
Mommy finger...
Brother finger...
Sis...
This hand, in that ocean, Eureka held it...
Eureka... Eureka?!
Eureka!
Eureka...
Hey, Nirvash!
Open your eyes!
Eureka, are you all right?!
The Gekko will pick us up real soon!
You just have to hold out until then!
The waves are pulling back...
Who the hell are you?!
Who the hell did this to Eureka?!
I...
You... I know you...
It wasn't a dream? Or am I still inside that dream...?
Both hands behind your head, then turn to face me!
W-Wait a minute! I didn't do anything--
Calm down. No sudden moves, just turn slowly.
You're--
NO!!!
Agh!
Eureka!
Not one step from here!
It hurts! My head hurts! Anemone...
It hurts! My head hurts! Hold on, I'll give you the medication right away!
Hurry up! Do something!
Eureka! Are you okay?! Eureka!
Come on, Anemone, lift your chin up for me.
Do it!
Ow!
Dominic, please! My head... Do something..!
I don't have a spare. Let's go back to the ship for now.
Climb out. I'll help you.
Don't touch me...
DON'T TOUCH ME!
Please, Dominic... Hurry...
I said DO SOMETHING!
Do something about my head!
There we go!
The closest place is Salisa Orne.
If we can find a military hospital,
I'm sure we can find medicine to replace what I lost.
I'll be right back, so you just rest here for a while, okay?
If it was going to end up like this,
I should have left Eureka back and come here alone.
Hold on! I'll be right back!
What's with you?! You're in my way! Hurry up and move!
Take me with you!
Pest! Forget it!
Either take me with you...
Or what?
Shoot me. You can't go anywhere, anyway.
What?
I'm not giving this back to you.
Wh-When the hell did you...?!
Give that back! Enough fooling around!
I'll really shoot you, you know!
Shoot.
What?!
I know you can't fix this!
The muffler!
Dammit, when the hell did he...?!
Want me to fix it? But, in return,
take me with you!
Hurry up! We don't have much time!
Still no word from Type Zero.
On top of that, Renton's vital signs have disappeared.
Woz! Confirm with Jobs whether or not we can launch the 909!
Okay!
Talho! Lower the Gekko's altitude!
There are no waves out there!
It's impossible to head out on an LFO!
If I go on vehicle mode, I won't have to deal with the trapars.
And how long do you think that'll take?!
The military KLF fell down together with the Nirvash.
We can naturally assume they're headed there for retrieval as well.
At this rate, the worst case scenario...
is that we come face-to-face with them down there!
All the more reason to go!
We can't afford to hand those two and the Nirvash over to the military!
Anything wrong with what I just said?
No, you're not wrong, but...
Then it's time to go.
I'm telling you, it's dangerous!
How do you think you'll get there without support from the Gekko--
Hey! Hold on right there, Holland!
I DID tell you to fix it,
but I never said one word about tuning it to be this peaky!
But, if we don't hurry, Eureka will be...!
That girl... Who is she?
Please, tell me.
That KLF, too. Why does it look so much like the Nirvash?
I don't have to answer that!
Yes, you do! It's because of her that Eureka--
How about you? Do you know exactly what you were trying to do up there?!
You mean you guys in the military know?
You know what that huge cloud, that "Coralian" thing, is really about?!
You...!
Where did you hear someone call it that?!
Whoa! In front of us!
Who did you hear it from?!
The name "Coralian" !
Shouldn't I know that?
Get up!
Well?! What's a Coralian?!
It's gone! Huh? I dropped it!
Where'd it go?
Did you do it again..?!
Isn't that it there?
Lower it down, slowly, on my mark! Ready...
Come on! Tell me what a Coralian is!
I said I don't have to answer that!
Well, I'm interested!
The moment I entered that cloud, I felt like I was no longer myself...
...and those butterflies-- Never mind the goddamn butterflies!
Yeah! And I felt like I was holding on to get to a toilet!
There's one thing that I would like to confirm.
What you were telling me earlier...
You entered the Zone, didn't you?
Get on! We have to hurry!
Any remaining citizens,
please evacuate to your nearest community center.
"Salisa Orne" Residential District
There are no scheduled dates as to when...
"Salisa Orne" Residential District water, gas, and electrical services will resume.
"Salisa Orne" Residential District
Map file!
Underneath your feet.
Hurry up and find a hospital!
This one? Salisa Orne...
Salisa Orne... Where is it?
Salisa Orne...
Oh! Salpo Malue...? No, that's not it...
Don't piss me off!
Which way's north?
Which way is north on this map?!
Up! And by the way, you're holding it backwards.
Up? Backwards? Where's that?
Oh brother, this guy is seriously nuts.
You worthless soldier!
Hold on tight!
For now, let's try to get out to this town's main street!
GIVE ME BACK MY WIFE! DESPAIR! THERE'S NOTHING LEFT IN THIS TOWN!
There's so much graffiti, I can't read any of these signs.
No good, huh?
This is a slummy town that's built like some dark labyrinth.
Even the kids here would attack me...
What should we do?
Even if we wanted to ask for directions, there's no one here...
All of this... Could this be...?
All from the Coralian? So many people...
At Arskurtz Military Memorial Hospital (West St, 7th District) Yorta Paustro (12 years old) Any relatives, contact at once!
Military Memorial Hospital... West street, 7th district!
And you're saying that was just abnormal weather?!
I can't answer that question!
There are more tectonic shifts going on now!
It had something to do with that giant cloud, didn't it?!
We're currently investigating that!
Hey, get your hands off me!
Every time we ask, you're always investigating this or investigating that!
What the hell is the military hiding from us?!
Ow!
We exist to protect you civilians!
That's a hell of a joke!
Didn't you see? The town's a wreck!
Thanks to you guys in the military!
Damn you...!
Dammit!
You good-for-nothing!
Who did that?!
What are you guys doing?!
You!
This is no time to be fighting over something as stupid as that!
Come on! I found the location of the hospital!
He with you?
Yeah. What about it?
In that case, I have to give him a little bit of our THANKS!
Stuff like that happen to you much?
Shut up! If you found a hospital,
you could have just gone on there alone, you know.
I never asked you what kind of medicine you wanted, did I?
Anyway, head west!
You know, you could at least give me one word of thanks!
I SAID, GO WEST!
Sorry, but is west the direction of the hand that you hold your fork with?
This guy really is nuts.
Who are you two?
Just prescribe me the medication, exactly as you see on that note.
How many patients?
Two.
You'd kill both of them with this much!
That isn't your concern!
I'll have the Intelligence Department send the official documents later!
And don't ask why I need this! Just hurry up and fill the prescription!
Why did things have to end up this way...?
Complaining won't change anything, I suppose...
Wait for the prescription at window six!
And the surgical ward is on the first floor. Get treated, then go.
All right, there's enough here.
We'd better hurry back before the sun sets.
Hey!
Y-Yeah, uh-huh.
Hey, you! What the hell do you think you're doing?!
Oh, shit!
Hold it right there!
I said stop!
Thief! Bike thief!
That thing, over there!
Like I said, why do you always tune them to be so peaky?!
You know, that girl we saw back there...
Yeah?
That girl back in the hospital... What do you think was wrong with her?
She wouldn't take her eyes off of that Compac Drive.
She's got the Desperation Disease.
Desperation...?
Why do they call it that?
Dunno.
What correlation is there between desperation and a Compac Drive?
Heh, that was just a plush toy.
A plush toy?!
And I don't know why.
You'd have to ask a doctor or a scholar for why they do it.
I don't get it at all.
Yeah, really...
That's right. Drink it slowly.
At least for now... rest well, Anemone.
That girl...
I had a dream about that girl inside that huge cloud.
I'd never met her before in my life, but...
Who is that girl?
I suppose you won't answer that, either.
Was she the only person you met inside that dream of yours?
No... I also saw Eureka in the dream.
It looks like we both fell for troublesome ladies.
Right, Renton?
How do you know my name?
Dominic. I'm Dominic Sorel!
What was that?!
It can't be!
Damn them! They're going off on their own again!
From this way, too?
You got that? Top priority goes to the Nirvash!
We all come second! Don't let 'em lay a finger on it!
Holland and the others are coming!
Just hang on a little longer!
Open communications!
Have them cease fire at once!
Anemone's resting in their firing path!
Dammit...
Don't shoot!
Eureka... Are you all right?
Are you all right, Eureka?!
I'll protect you...
I swear I'll protect you!
Nirvash... You're telling us to get on?
What's going on?!
The readings are increasing, yet there are no vital signs showing on screen!
No way! This is impossible!
Trapar response is increasing rapidly!
The trapars are back?!
The source is... the exact point where the Coralian disappeared!
What did you say?!
What...? What in the world is going on here?!
Hey, leader! Can you tell me what the hell is going on here?!
Quit yappin' around and just get on the LFO!
The trapar waves are coming back!
For Pete's sake...
Some things, even I can't explain.
The belt might be a little tight, but bear with me.
I'll have you back to have Miss Mischa help you in no time--
Eureka...
It's just like that one time when we...!
Eureka... What in the world do you...?
Type Zero is accepting someone that isn't Eureka?
Lieutenant Colonel, this is like...!
The Nirvash!
Leader! We've confirmed sight of the Nirvash!
It's heading back to the Gekko!
All units, withdraw at once!
We're going home, too!
Roger!
This world is full of things that I just don't understand.
But, there's one thing that I believe for sure, Anemone.
It looks like we may have met our true enemies.
Our true enemies...
Mama!
Mama, does your head still hurt?
Wake up! Wake up!
It's all right.
She'll be up and about soon enough, after she gets a little rest.
So, be good and leave her to rest for now, okay?
Take her to sick bay.
Sure.
This was the only one able to experience the waves inside the Zone.
Amazing...
You'll disturb it!
These are valuable reference materials. Don't touch anything!
Mama...
Please, tell me.
What?
What is Eureka?
Just an ordinary girl.
You forced an ordinary girl to launch...
just so that she could go through all that?!
You knew all along, didn't you?
You knew Eureka would end up this way...
if she came in contact with the Coralian.
And you knew people have strange dreams within the Zone!
The Nirvash--
What happened in your dream?!
What did you see?!
It felt like I was able to see her.
My older sister...
None of it seemed real...
Neither did Eureka, or the Nirvash.
Neither did that girl in the black Nirvash,
or even Dominic Sorel, who was so desperate to save her.
But, if everything really did happen,
where in the world did you come from to visit me, Sis?
Renton... Just what are you?
TO BE CONTINUED
To be continued!
Back when I was very small, when I'd look up
The sky above really seemed so vast
I honestly thought that I could
Protect the one I loved with my own hands
Why wasn't I big enough, I wondered
That irritated me so much
No matter how I'd stretch out my hand
I knew that it would never reach
That sky, so very, very large
Even so, I had no doubts at all
Because I believed in a beautiful future
There were times I was irritated
And times I couldn't take it all
And I shed such very, very big tears
Still, I think my eyes never shone so bright...
...as they did when I was young
The appearance and disappearance of the Coralian...
Phenomena and Mental Image
have chiseled out mysteries left in this world.
We are basically at a complete loss of words. The men living in this world brainstorm in order to piece together...
the puzzle that has dispersed all over the globe.
Do you know what a Coralian is?
