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!
I heard that another Coralian appeared.
CAPITOL DEFENSE FORCE OBSERVATION POST 23 Yeah.
CAPITOL DEFENSE FORCE OBSERVATION POST 23 In the state of Gremikowa, if I recall correctly.
Well, that's on the other side of the planet, so I doubt we need to worry.
Anyway, can you stop with that noise already?
It's distracting me.
So what? You're goofing off with that mag of yours.
This is still fine. I'm gathering information.
That's strange...
What's wrong?
This boom box isn't switched on.
Abnormal trapar response detected! Unknown craft approaching!
Hey, what is this?!
What's wrong?
We're confirming an unidentified trapar interference!
What?! Where?!
Bearing 3 o'clock, range: 52!
606, act as backup to the 808 and enter from the 23rd district.
While you do that, the 909 and Nirvash will act as a diversion.
As soon as Talho gets Norb's location from the informant,
we'll head straight in to grab him!
We'll finish everything off before the old man can make a move.
The success of this operation...
depends on our skills as one combined team.
Don't beg for it. Earn it.
Then it will be granted to you.
If anyone can do this, it's us!
That's the SL-1200 mark II...
Impossible! This is the capitol!
EPISODE 35 ASTRAL APACHE
I haven't done anything yet.
This is not a warning signal against you.
Someone is trying to invade Capitol Hill.
Someone?
Are there any Vodarac radicals...
who would even think to directly attack this place?
Other than yourself, I mean.
You know, I have to mention that I'm not a radical...
I only have one lead to this one myself.
The man to whom you told the truth,
and in doing so entrusted with the fate of this planet.
Deploy chaff screen!
Do you know the words, "Love thy neighbor"?
What?
They're written in the oldest document passed down by mankind.
But why do you think such a phrase was written into mankind's oldest document?
It's because, without those words, humans cannot keep each other alive.
Humans are such pathetic creatures.
What's your point?
I only want to earn my own words as a human.
Do you know?
The first revelation of the one they called God...
was "in the beginning, there was the Word."
I see.
Are you trying to be another Raskolnikov?
Renton...
Here it comes!
Don't panic! Main cannon, target acquired!
Fire!
Renton!
I know. I think I understand, but!
Me, too.
We have just penetrated the absolute defensive line of Capitol Hill.
The first stage of the operation is complete.
We will now proceed to stage two. Got that?
Roger!
What's wrong, Nirvash?
Holland! Let's stop this battle right here!
Idiot! What are you talking about this late in the game?!
I don't think this is a good way for us to fight!
This... This isn't how we normally fight!
I thought I made it clear during the briefing!
If we turn back now, this planet will lose EVERYTHING!
We don't have any time left!
But...
It's all right.
I can go a little bit further.
So, please... hold my hand.
Eureka...
An emergency warning has been issued.
Everyone, please evacuate immediately to your designated shelter!
I repeat, an emergency warning has been issued.
Everyone, please evacuate immediately to your designated shelter!
Eureka!
There was a child there.
I'm scared, after all!
Try harder, Eureka!
I know! I know, but...
But the harder we try, the more of those people we're going to hurt!
I know, but!
I'm scared.
Eureka!
Those people must also have people who are dear to them.
It would be like seeing you vanish before my eyes, Renton.
It's terrible for anyone to lose a loved one.
When I think about that, I!
Those kids!
Fighting isn't the only answer.
If that's the choice they've made, then so be it.
If doing that allows them to see the future, then it's fine.
You say that, but you have complete trust in them.
Friendly fire!
Keep cool! It's part of the plan!
Weren't you listening?!
It was?
We're hit! Starboard side, to the rear!
Squadron of three KLFs, incoming!
Listen, Moondoggie. Everything depends on your determination!
Do you want to protect everyone or not?!
All right!
Heh... They make a good team.
Hey!
Did the colonel read my report?
Report?
The new report on the Type Zero and its riders!
I'm sure he'll read it at the appropriate time.
Assuming it really is something important.
What do you mean, "assuming it's really something important?!"
The fact is that the Type Zero's been upgraded!
Even you guys must understand what that means!
Anemone...
So, you've submitted a report?
Not that I'd expect you to, but you didn't write that The End lost against it, did you?
Anemone, that's not what's important here...
Of course it's important!
Do you think I have another chance?
I failed twice already! Do you think Dewey will give me a third chance?!
Why can't you understand something so simple?!
Why are you so stupid?!
Why?
Tell me, why did we lose to such a lame enemy?
Anemone?
He's gonna kill us...
I'm sure he's gonna kill us...
I'm sure. I'm positive. He's sure to...
It's all right. I'm sure we'll win next time.
You say it so lightly...
Didn't you plan to meet up with someone here?
NORB TILUA GARDEN
Thanks.
Let's begin!
A mole.
According to this man's confession,
we can assume that Gekkostate already knows that we're here.
He used to work in Intelligence.
One of Talho's pets, I presume.
The enemy isn't after us.
Their target is that old man.
But even if they were able to infiltrate this far,
it doesn't mean that the old man will bow down to Holland.
He's torn.
Does he use his own power for destruction in order to save the planet,
or entrust it all to the good-for-nothing apprentice?
Let's see how this plays out.
What can they do now that their window of opportunity has vanished?
We no longer need the old man.
Now that we have the power of Orange...
Transmission from Miss Talho in the 606!
Master Norb is apparently in Tilua Garden!
Got it! On my way!
But Leader, the Nirvash has disappeared!
They'll be all right!
No way those two would go down that easily!
If they're going to chicken out at this point...
If they're going to get killed at this point...
there's no way they'd ever be able to live through the destiny awaiting us!
No way they'd be able to push forward into the future!
Dammit, we keeping knocking them down, but they just keep coming!
And the Nirvash?
No good! No response!
Talho should be leaving the power plant soon.
Once we pick her up, we can send Hilda to back up Holland!
Roger!
Will there be enough time?!
Of course there will be.
He's the one to whom I entrusted the Gekko.
There's no way he'd die just from this!
Sorry I took so long, old man!
Holland...
You're late!
Why did you come strolling in this late in the game?
You're a disgrace to the Novac family!
Big brother.
Listen, Eureka.
"Someone will save us." "The military will stop attacking."
We can hope that happens, but unless we do something,
the fact remains that the guys on the Gekko are in danger!
For instance, even if we stop fighting now,
the military won't stop their attack!
Then let's run away!
Eureka!
But I'm scared!
We'll be risking our lives, like we were just now!
It's not just us! Everyone on the Gekko!
Even Maurice and the other kids!
Besides... I don't want to harm anything anymore...
Renton...
If it's that tough for you, you don't have to fight.
If it's really that tough, you don't have to fight anymore.
I don't want to see you in pain anymore.
But, even if we just abandoned everything right now,
I don't think this war will end.
That's why I'm going to fight!
So that I can somehow stop this war that's begun...
between the humans and the Coralians.
I believe that with you and Nirvash here,
I might be able to put an end to this battle!
So please, trust me.
Renton...
Let's do something that we both believe in, Eureka.
Right.
What's wrong, Holland? What have you come to beg for now?
I'm afraid I hardly have anything to give to you or your entourage.
Release the old man.
Are you sure, sir?
I don't care.
Let my wretched brother be comforted...
by another one like him whose time has come and gone.
Do you know why this old man came here?
Because he realized that you'd never be able...
to find someone to become Eureka's partner.
That's why he has given up.
Given up on trying to communicate with the scub coral!
I apologize.
Stand back.
There's something I want to show you. Something I promised you I'd get.
What?!
Holland, you will never be able to surpass me.
It started with Lifting.
You even joined the military to follow in my footsteps.
But were you ever able to reach my caliber?
On top of that, you even picked up the woman I dumped.
She's so perfect for you.
Please, stand back.
It's like that silly magazine of yours.
You tried to tell the truth with it, but what did it get you?
All you did was blather away pointless moratoriums,
and just generally wasted everyone's time.
Do you finally understand?
The masses don't care what the truth is!
Truth doesn't move the masses.
What you need is a loud voice and a big stimulus!
Besides, if you threaten what little pride those fools have,
they'll choose a lie over the truth every time!
As your older brother, I'm warning you.
Try to see the big picture.
Otherwise, there's no way you can win.
You haven't changed one bit. Although I'm slightly disappointed.
Because you haven't caught up to me at all.
What?
Th-This is...
You've really found the one?!
Took you long enough! What the hell have you been doing?!
I'm sorry! We had to make a slight detour!
C'mon, Mr. Norb!
Hurry!
Oh, hell.
What is that?!
What the hell is that vehicle?!
Don't beg.
Don't beg for it, earn it. Then it will be granted to you.
That's what the Gekkostate is all about!
All right! All units, retreat!
We're going back to the Gekko!
I see. That's why you chose to handle the power plant.
I just didn't want to see that man's face.
Confirmed, all units have landed! Catapult is secure!
All right, take off!
Roger!
I'm glad that you held yourself back from doing anything.
Held back what?
Well, didn't you head to the capitol to destroy it?
Are you kidding? Do you want to kill me or something?
That's impossible. I'm far too old for that.
Anyway, can I bum a smoke off you?
You say you're too old, and then ask for that?
Eureka, are you all right?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Thanks, Renton. Nirvash is very happy, too.
R-Really?
So, he is the one.
Yeah. He is our hope.
No, no, not at all!
Colonel, we have another report.
The power plant will require at least...
72 hours to resume normal operation.
Also, 30% of the capitol's main functions that need repair...
Enough.
Colonel, the Sages would like to see you in the audience chamber.
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
A vanished girl who was fascinated by the land.
In the bright memory reflected in the man's eyes,
the boy sees the truth of the one he has dreamed of.
