Someone's calling out to me right now
The weathervane is showing me the way
I sat down upon this hill along the way
And murmured about how nice it'd be to fly
I wanna fly away!
To seek the answer
I realized that even mistakes
And regret can become your wings
Feel the wind inside your body
And now spread your arms out wide
Straight into the sun
That's where I'm gonna fly right now
Escape the night of anguish
I'll fly further than I have
I can fly away! I can fly away!
The world has begun to change.
The frequent tectonic shifts happening all over the place.
The Federation Council, and their measures kicking in too late.
The populace filled with dissatisfaction,
and the resulting restructuring of the army.
Everything is proceeding according to the colonel's plans.
Renton Thurston...
How will you be involved in all of this?
"Here lies the savior of the human race ADROC THURSTON"
You, the son of this hero.
EPISODE 29 KEEP ON MOVIN'
Bell Forest.
Despite being in the outlands,
it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the revolution...
now taking place in this world all started from this town.
The Type Zero, after the battle fought in this town,
massively improved its specs.
Of particular note is the fact that the Seven Swell Effect...
was confirmed in this town for the first time since the Summer of Love.
So many seemingly coincidental incidents...
However, thanks to the fact...
that the boy was the son of Adroc Thurston...
everything is starting to seem as if it was meant to happen.
Oh, hey, you guys!
Do you know where I can get my bike fixed up?
Bike?
I must know.
Renton Thurston...
What meaning does that boy carry?
What was he entrusted with? And to know that...
Oh, there he is!
Axel! You've got a customer!
Don't be so familiar with your elders!
Geez, children nowadays...
I just had to meet this man.
Axel Thurston... This man.
I'm sorry.
For leaving without telling you.
I still hadn't apologized for that.
It's all right. You were with Ray and Charles, right?
Yeah.
The inside of Ray and Charles' ship was really clean!
I see.
I'd get up early in the morning and help clean the entire ship spotless!
She said it wasn't hard if you do it every day,
because the dirt doesn't build up!
Can you believe it? Not skipping even one day!
Yeah.
And when we were done cleaning, we'd start getting breakfast ready!
Making fruit juice, toasting bread, tossing a salad...
It was all fresh and tasted really great!
They were both really conscious about their health.
You know why?
Why?
So that they wouldn't lose a minute, even a second, of time to live together!
Isn't that awesome?
"Our family is just the two of us,
"so if one of us were to live an unhealthy life..."
"Then... Then, decades from now,
"one of us will be burdened with the misfortune of living alone!"
"That's why... Why the two of us, together..."
DAMN IT ALL!
Why did the two of them have to die?
Why did they have to die in such a miserable way?!
It's crazy! Why did those two have to fight against Holland?!
Holland said that it was to protect me.
I don't get it...
Why was I worth killing Ray and Charles?!
It's because I chose you, Renton.
It's because I chose you, Renton, instead of Holland.
That's probably why Holland protected you, Renton.
Eureka...
Renton, I...
I...
If it's something that isn't easy for you to talk about,
you can tell me when you're ready to, Eureka.
Renton...
If you really chose me, Eureka, let's stay together, always!
Enough for Ray and Charles, too!
Yes.
Renton's friend?
Yes, I'm...
Where did you meet Renton?
Oh, um... In Salisa Orne.
Oh, I know where that is!
Ta-dah!
It's here, right?
You sure know a lot.
It's my favorite mag!
And, so, how is Renton...
Oh, I have a question!
Are you a member of Gekkostate, Mr. Dominic?
Huh? No way! His taste in clothing is all wrong for that!
This question has been nagging me for a while.
What's the relationship between Renton and Talho?
Well, I don't know that much...
Oh, it's been on your mind?
S- So, what?!
You always said that Renton was gross!
That's what you said!
I was just wondering if he was causing trouble for Talho.
QUIET!
Will you cut it out and let me talk already?!
Yes, sir...
I see, so Renton...
Yes. I was asked that, if I were ever near Bell Forest,
I was to look in on you and see how you were doing, Mr. Thurston.
That kid...
Good for you, Axel!
I'm sure that Renton was all worried about you, too!
That's right!
Young girls, talking as if they knew it all...
You said your name was Dominic?
Y-Yes!
You said you're traveling all over the world. Where are you headed next?
Where? I haven't really decided yet...
Someplace hot? Or someplace cold?
If I had to choose, I'd guess hot.
All right.
I'll get going on those repairs now!
You'll help me, right?
G-Gladly...
Hey, what are you doing?
Can't you tell? I'm cleaning!
Gonzy!
I just mopped over there!
Wow, this looks completely different now.
Somehow, I don't feel comfortable anymore.
We've had a lot of smoky incidents lately, so this feels really refreshing!
In any case, what's the cause of all this?
Renton and Eureka started it.
How come?
Who knows?
I guess I'll help out, too.
Come on!
At this rate, even if we called all hands, they wouldn't gather up here, right?
And Stoner's photo development is going to take a while, too...
Let's go, Matthieu.
Well, later.
Torque wrench.
What's with you? Gimme the torque wrench!
As if I knew!
Oh, no, nothing.
It's for your own good.
If you ride bikes, you should know this.
Yes, sir.
Looks like things aren't going smoothly.
It shouldn't be too tough a repair.
No, I mean with the old man.
Well, when they start fiddling with machines, they won't stop until it's all done.
All three generations of 'em, they're all the same.
Three generations? Including Adroc Thurston?
Of course!
Hey, girls, it's time to go home!
Your moms are making dinner now and are waiting for you!
About what you just said...
What is it?
The three generations being the same.
Yeah.
That sounds like an interesting story. I'd like to hear more details.
Where you headed, old man?
I need a gyro.
I'm gonna head over to Ozzy the scrap man's place.
Are you serious? They're saying we're about to get hit by a blizzard here!
I-I'll go with you!
Of course you should! It's all for you, anyway!
How long are you going to do that?
If you don't get some rest soon, they'll stick an IV tube in you, too.
Is the recon finished?
Yeah. I'll give you a report later.
Holland, too...
Holland was hurting, too.
I'll leave your meal here.
Eat up while it's hot.
Renton and Eureka made it, but it's really tasty.
I'll carry a bit of it.
Of your troubles...
Yummy!
True. This sure is something.
Yeah! It's yummy, Mama!
Yay!
Hey, did you make all of this by yourself, Eureka?
No, I made it with Renton.
I'm sorry to do this without permission.
Until I can talk to Holland, as long as I'm aboard this ship,
I thought I'd make myself useful.
Come on, Renton.
Don't go saying depressing things like that!
I don't know what kind of decision you've made,
but I have no intention of stopping it. Rather, I'd like to cheer you on.
Because you're one of our dear comrades!
Hap...
Renton.
Yes?
We didn't create Gekkostate to pretend we're a family.
You understand that, right?
Hey, Talho! You don't have to put it that way...
You keep quiet!
I know.
I think this ship exists in order to fight a war.
Do you know why we're at war?
I don't know.
Can you fight without knowing the reason?
I can't fight, and I don't have the will to fight, either.
Even if this war was started by your father, Adroc Thurston?
Adroc was a military technician...
who claimed that this land, Scub Coral,
was a sentient being called a Coralian.
He tried to prove his claims,
but in the course of the investigation...
that centered on the Great Wall,
...they began to see more and more adverse affects...
caused by the Scub Coral on the researchers and military personnel.
Upon hearing this, the military high command...
decided to get rid of the Coralian,
and Adroc in the end was against this.
He was convinced, absolutely convinced,
that the Coralian was a life form.
That was why he'd searched for a way for us to coexist.
The emergence of a humanoid Coralian only reinforced his convictions.
That humanoid Coralian... is Eureka!
Coralian... As in the Coralian?
I had my hunches all along, but...
But... Hold on a second... Huh?!
I'm not done with the story yet!
Hap, tell them what we've learned...
from tapping into the communication lines.
Details are still uncertain,
but the army has apparently recreated an anti-Coralian squadron.
Its name, size... Everything about it remains a mystery.
However, the proof that such a squad has reformed is that...
they're now developing a deep subsurface weapon.
Here's the proof of that.
Holland formed Gekkostate for one reason.
To follow with Adroc's will and protect Eureka,
the only one who can access the Coralian.
But that means that from now on, the entire world is our enemy.
Are you prepared to accept that fate?
I am!
We'll head to Tresoir.
Tresoir?! You know, that place is the army's...
Those guys there are the only ones who can repair the Nirvash now.
But...
Holland would do it.
Renton.
I'd like to take my time and have more of this later,
so can you save me some?
Oh, some for me, too!
I'd like some myself!
Geez!
Matthieu, you and Stoner run some recon in the 606!
Hilda, you take the 808!
Roger!
Gidget, contact Tresoir on code Cure!
Roger!
Now, you guys should come eat with me.
Why? We're fine right here.
Come on, let's just go.
Hey, Mischa, is Mama's name Coralian?
I didn't ask her to.
I knew I had to tell you myself...
But... But when I thought that you might hate me for it, Renton, I...
I don't understand too much of it.
I mean, whenever I touch you like this, you're always so special.
Renton...
I could tell from the beginning...
that you're different from everyone else.
Eureka, you're you.
It's already this late?
You're done?
Somehow, the Compac Drive seems to glow brighter now.
No, this old boy is really happy about it.
Dominic.
Yes?
Please stay good friends with Renton from now on.
That boy's father was the one touted as the great hero.
But that's just something the military made up.
Please, see Renton for who he really is.
From the moment I first I saw you, I didn't feel like we were strangers.
Feel free to drop by whenever you like.
This old man would be happy to repair your bike any time.
Thank you... So much.
Dammit! Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!
What am I doing?!
I can't give a report of this to the colonel!
And besides that...
Who told that old geezer to do such a peaky tune-up?!
Report that Special Operations Captain Dominic is leaving Bell Forest.
Conditions?
Good! We can move out at any time!
Woz?
No problems here!
Jobs?
Any time!
Gidget, what about LFOs?
The 606 and the 808 have radioed in.
No enemy units sighted in our flight path!
Prepare for booster ignition. Commence countdown!
Commencing countdown!
5... 4... 3... 2... 1...
Holland woke up! 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...
Mischa! 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...
Wait! 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...
Ignition!

Door that you've opened up
Is there an answer there or not?
I don't know. I don't know right now.
We're always lost
Adults saying "You're just a child"
But it's fun trying to work it out
Maybe you won't work it soon
It's all never ending, oh my!
Don't give up till you've solved it!
And even if you mess it up
Just say it's all "all right!"
Swim in the sea of imagination with all your might
Na Na Na why so why?

Tomorrow known only to you
The Gekko heads to a military laboratory...
in order to heal its battle scars.
They show new expressions on their faces...
once they stop fearing change.
