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!
So, you were alive after all, Norb?
The emergence of the antibody Coralians.
The land is now truly about to awaken.
I'm sure they're fretting right now, as well.
Dewey's foolish acts are the root of all this misfortune!
It seems we've held his leash too loosely.
Don't you think it's time for him to pull back now?
"NORB"
My, oh my... Since when have you become one of the Sages?
They really were slow about getting anything ready.
Release him.
Yes, sir!
"With age, you must follow your children," they say.
But we have quite an insolent child here.
It is destined for those whose time has passed to step down.
Norb...
EPISODE 34 INNER FLIGHT
It's confirmed.
No doubt about it, Norb has been captured in the capitol.
He's got some nerve to charge in there by himself.
If we don't hurry, the old man is going to die.
And the city will be destroyed.
Perhaps even the planet.
Huh? The planet? Why?
Norb is the legendary super-powerful monk.
This sounds like another hidden camera prank.
Of course not. This time, we're really serious about this.
Seriously? What kind of an old man is he?
You'll see when you meet him.
In any case, we must hurry.
It'll take a few days if we stay on the ley-line.
That's true. We're going to take a trajectory flight.
All right, everyone get ready for it.
Roger.
Then, I'll go clean up all the merchandise in the shop.
Leave that to Doggie.
I have something I want to discuss with you two.
S-Sure.
Well, see you later, Brother.
Don't touch it.
Why are you so irritated?
Yeah, let's drink it!
You guys, don't drink it without paying for it!
You don't have to yell at them!
You've been really weird lately!
Weird! Weird!
Shut up. You should stay on the bridge.
Stuff like this is about all I can do, anyway.
Stuff like this?
Hey, if you're going to work, you might as well enjoy what you do.
Besides, if you don't have anything to do, you can look for something to do.
You can!
You wouldn't understand...
What's up with that?! Doggie, you're an idiot!
Idiot!
Um, what did you want to talk about?
I understand your determination.
However, it's not an easy task to get past the Great Wall.
The truth is, we need to meet Norb to do so.
Right.
I talked to him back in Del Cielo.
Del Cielo...
I'll tell Renton about this.
No, this is my job.
I'd like you to hear this, also because you need to know...
how you should be acting from now on.
All of it, from how I first met Eureka.
Eureka and I met when I was still a member of the SOF.
A mysterious girl who could control the oldest LFO in the world.
That was all I thought of her, but back then that was enough.
Even if covered in mystery,
Eureka's high fighting potential was a valuable asset for the SOF.
Besides, Eureka was a very obedient girl,
who never showed her emotions.
And then came that day...
The mission we were given that day...
was to annihilate the Vodarac resistance in Del Cielo.
Eureka, how's it going on your end?
No one's left here.
All right, shift to the next level. We'll spread out and attack.
You head behind the temple.
Roger.
The SOF had one more mission objective.
The capture of Norb, the high priest of the Vodarac.
Damn you! What did you do?!
It's impossible to capture me with such limited power.
Why didn't you escape if you knew that we were coming?!
Norb!
Why do you destroy this city?
Because it's a nesting ground for terrorists.
There's no way that every believer of the Vodarac is a terrorist.
Terrorist acts occur because you of the military...
don't even attempt a peaceful settlement.
That's selfish reasoning.
How should we talk to these worshippers...
of those man-eating monsters called Coralians?
Coralians are not monsters.
They are the dreams that this land sees.
This is getting nowhere.
There was a girl named Sakuya.
She was a girl that I met at a very young age.
She was my first love. Want to hear about it?
I don't have time to listen to old stories...
Sakuya was not a human.
What?!
She wasn't a human, but a Coralian.
Just like Eureka, the girl you brought with you.
How do you know about Eureka?!
Sakuya had told me.
The land had borne another child. Another humanoid Coralian.
Impossible.
Don't be so depressed. I know it must be a shock to you.
She's a very cute girl, yet she's not human.
But because she's cute, does it matter if she's human or not?
I mean, Sakuya is a pretty as a flower...
Don't change the subject!
What do you mean, "humanoid?"
She was born by the will of the land.
To learn about humans.
That is why she seeks interaction with humans.
And, little by little,
she will grow to understand humans and awaken to her sense of self.
I don't understand what you're talking about!
She is the same as a blank sheet of paper.
One prepared just to write all sorts of things down.
What gets written down depends on how people interact with her.
And little by little, that is how she changes into a human.
However, neither you nor Dewey can change her.
All you two will do is to use her for destruction,
and ultimately lead both this world and herself to fall.
We're doing this to save the world...
His objective is the Second Summer of Love!
He's using Eureka in an attempt to lead this land to a collapse.
He's not even trying to understand.
The mind of this land...
The mind of this land?
Do you think I'd believe you?
In that case...
you should watch closely!
The land replied to human will.
It's just coincidence!
I hear that those who lift...
can read the flow of trapars invisible to the eye.
How about you?
Trapars are the breath of this land, aren't they?
You can feel it, so why can't you read into the mind of the land?
What are you planning to do?!
If this act will open your eyes, that is enough.
If you awaken, that is the time that you need to save them.
Both her and this planet!
Hey, are you all right?!
What is this?! Who the hell are you?!
Look...
Just like a human... That is how she lives her life.
Besides, we still might have some hope.
If her partner emerges, she will be saved.
What partner?!
Have you ever seen her smile?
No.
The smile is the sign of change.
Find someone who can make her smile from the bottom of her heart.
If her partner emerges, we can achieve...
a conversation between humans and the scub coral.
The path to the Great Wall will be opened.
Great Wall...
The path leading to hope. The path that will save this world.
This is not a teaching of the Vodarac.
This is my own words, as someone who lost the battle.
Lord Norb!
I was confused.
Because I hadn't been told anything at all.
I learned later that everything had crumbled down...
along with that city on that day.
But, there was something that emerged out of all that.
I was able to learn the truth about this world...
that the military was trying to bury.
As for how we've been acting since then,
you can read ray=out for that.
Mr. Norb is one amazing person.
He's one preposterous old man.
He entrusted me with the entire world.
The world?
I'm talking about you two.
The one becoming Eureka's partner isn't me.
It's you, Renton.
"PREPARE FOR TRAJECTORY FLIGHT"
I have no idea how you can become her partner.
But what you need to do is believe in yourself.
Remember that though you chose her first, she chose you as well.
It's different from before.
I'm starting to know more and more about Eureka.
But...
The Great Wall.
I want to protect Eureka.
It has nothing to do with being a partner or the fate of the world.
I just want to be at Eureka's side.
That feeling hasn't changed one bit from the very beginning.
So, where has Norb gone?
H-He left the room with Colonel Dewey a few moments ago.
What?! What is the meaning of this?!
Where has he gone?!
Well, uh, um...
We're almost to the capitol.
All operations have been handed out.
We'll meet with our informer after infiltrating to the proximity of the military base.
How are we going to sneak into the capitol?
We'll go in from the front gate, fair and square.
If we don't hurry, the entire capitol will vanish along with that super monk.
And we're going to invite such a dangerous old man aboard the Gekko?
But, we have one problem about this.
Talho is the only one who knows the informant's face.
Then I'll go out.
And who will steer the Gekko?
I-I will...
You?
I-I'll do it. I have a ship operation license...
News to me.
Actually, I remember hearing something about it.
I never had anything to do until now.
That's why I don't care what it is.
I just want to do something that will be useful to everyone.
Is that what's been bothering you?
Doggie grew up inside ships. Perhaps...
It's impossible! Look at the situation we're in!
How about we let him try?
Part of our determination was to believe in our comrades, right?
I'm sure he has that determination in saying this.
But...
I-I'll support him! So, please...
Stop the Orange.
The scub coral isn't calling for you.
If you keep up this futile resistance, the world will not last long.
You missed your opportunity. What can you say to me at this point?
If I am not called, all I need to do is to destroy the will of the scubs.
If you had given me the opportunity...
to contact the scub corals in the first place,
I wouldn't have had to resort to such drastic measures.
I have no intention of being of use to you.
No, even if I were to assist you,
you wouldn't be able to communicate with the scub corals.
There is no need to communicate.
You are very hotheaded.
You want to destroy the scub corals without learning their true meaning?
The entire planet, including yourself, may be wiped out!
You haven't forgotten what happened in Del Cielo, have you?
How many times do you need to fail before you've had enough?
You were the one who failed.
To attempt to become the partner of a humanoid Coralian...
All you succeeded in doing was destroying the one you loved.
But I haven't given up hope of communicating with them.
Colonel!
Lieutenant Dominic has called in...
and says he has an urgent report to give you!
I am entertaining a guest right now. Leave it for later.
Yes, sir!
Now, I will show you the world.
Scared?
What about you? Why did you cut your hair?
Does it bother you?
It doesn't look good on you.
You said that back when you broke up with her.
I'm over it. Over anything and everything.
I won't be indecisive anymore. I'm going to fight.
You're so strong.
You're the one who made me strong.
You gave me a future.
You understand? There's another life here.
Impossible!
Why didn't you tell me?!
I can't take you with me now. If something were to happen to you...
Then where should I go?
Where is a safe haven in this world?
There isn't such a place anywhere!
I'm going to protect this child, with my life, if I must!
No, not just this child.
Maeter, Maurice, Linck. Renton, Eureka...
We sure have a lot of kids.
Yeah, that's why you can't afford to die.
No matter what happens...
I won't die.
I'll take them to the other side of the Great Wall.
I won't let anyone die.
If Del Cielo is the past, what's beyond the Great Wall is the future.
You're right.
We will enter the target airspace shortly.
You have many unnecessary controls left. Don't look away!
R-Roger.
Hey, we're almost there. There's the capitol.
So, this is how you see things.
Will you finally start talking to us? About the real reason you came here?
It can't possibly be to have a conversation with me.
There was something I wanted to show you as well.
So, that is the figure of a man who failed to become a partner?
TO BE CONTINUED
To be continued.
Na Na Na why so why?
Try to imagine
Just you like
The things you like
There's not just one
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?
Try to imagine
Just you like
The things you like
There's not just one
Tomorrow known only to you
The Gekko plunges forward in order to take back the future.
The two men who speak different languages reunite,
gambling for the fate of the world.
