Stop! I'm begging you, stop!
Aren't you friends?
Alice...
Could the scattered consciousness converged and you regained a sense of self?
No... Alice... Please find Alice!
You're not Alice?!
No way... Jennifer?
What?!
A year after I sent you to the exile ship, Jennifer used the MT System and Mind Tranced.
The destination was the fragment of Orichalt that was left after Alice warped.
Inside the Orichalt itself?
Yeah... To look for Alice in the sea of Orichalt.
Even knowing that she could never return to this world.
Addams! So you knew about it?!
Of course I knew. I'm the one who helped her.
Addams!
Kain!
Don't you understand?
That was her wish, the desire to help her grant it is only natural!
Back then, I wish I had the means to bring Alice back.
Did you know that Jennifer loved you?
Yes, you, Kain, who called Alice "extra baggage".
Humans are really baffling.
Just how unscientific can the heart be?
And yet, nevertheless, I love the species called "humans"!
Humanity will admire me!
I've told you already!
Rajeev can react and learn! Stop the attack!
In the end, you still say the same thing!
The Kain inside of you wants this, doesn't he?!
A future where 90% of humanity is destroyed!
Don't be stupid!
I've never said such a thing!
Then what do you suggest?!
Not an attack! We need acknowledgment!
You're so irritating...
Even after becoming this lump of iron, you still piss me off.

Mr. Ido! Is Alice safe?
Yeah. She's sleeping now.
From what I've seen, the federation army's in shambles.
That's right. Their trump card, the battle system, didn't work against Rajeev.
What do we do now?
If we want to live, let's jump to a habitable planet and throw away the Orichalt once we're there.
And then we keep living on that planet...
Well, that's fine, too.
Huh?
As long as I have Amanza, that's good enough.
Huh?
He's spouting nonsense again.
Hmm? Uh, yeah.
Huh?
No way?!
What is it?
I'll tell you later.
Anyway, everyone's fine with finding a new home, right?
I'm staying.
In the Earth space?
Why? At this rate Earth will be swallowed up by Rajeev.
There are people whose life went crazy because of my former self.
Even Fa-Loser.
Fa-Loser? Did you do something?
Originally, it was used by Kain as experimental animal #4.
So Kain was the one who turned you into this.
And I'll atone for that sin...
Seems like it forgives you?
Are you sure?
That's right! Mr. Ido is Mr. Ido!
You're not Kain Arisugawa.
Nevertheless, he exists inside of me. I want to bear this responsibility.
What're you achieving by staying here?
You're not planning to die, I hope?
You should just come with us.
Everyone... I'm sorry.
The probability is extremely low, but there is one countermeasure...
Kain...
No way!
Alice... just spoke!
You're Kain, right?
Jennifer?
Yes.
Jennifer?
Jennifer Record. The co-developer of the MT System who disappeared.
Kain... Alice is nearby.
Nearby?
Alice's consciousness...
Hey! What do you mean, Alice is nearby?
Oh! Density of states!
I see... Orichalt and Rajeev have gathered here.
And the consciousness of Alice that was scattered across Orichalt space has been collected?
If the missing fragments of Alice have returned, then...
It may be small, but we've got a chance.
It's larger than an M3 class now.
Even if we fire all of the remaining Orichalt missiles, it would be impossible to transfer that much mass.
We're establishing a defensive perimeter using geosynchronous satellites, but
we can't do anything against something of that size.
Tell every ship to dismantle the missiles and extract the Orichalt.
Yes, Ma'am!
We'll use this Orichalt to create an escape route for humanity.
It's too early to fall into despair!
It's no use!
At this point we have to abandon Earth and evacuate!
Retreat is inexcusable!
I won't allow it!
Ah, humans! Humanity!
I will Mind Trance into Rajeev myself and stop its activity personally!
The planetary battle station is advancing to the breach made by those plasma diggers and the explosions.
Is he planning to fly towards its center?
If I don't protect humanity here and now...
Then for what purpose was I?!
Please... I beg you, let me complete my life!
Alice... It was a long-awaited reunion, but I've done something unforgivable.
Please forgive me.
Ah, Kain! You're there, too? Within the world locked inside Orichalt?
A message to all dispatched fleets.
As of this moment, the operation is halted.
All ships, prepare to retreat-
Detecting an imminent gravity wave in front!
There's more coming?!
It's not Rajeev! It's...
The wanted mining spaceship!
What?
The ship that just Miguel Jumped has returned?
Sorry for intruding into your channel all of a sudden.
I'm the CEO of Escavate, Grayman.
And also the retired captain of the Planetary Federation army, Jake Hojo.
Hojo? You mean that one?
That's right.
We don't have time so I'll jump straight to the point.
Can you share with us the Orichalt in the fleet's possession, even if just a little?
Kain, no, our employee called Ido has an idea about how to stop the advance of Rajeev.
We've sent you the details of our plan.
It's a reckless strategy, but there is no other way.
This is probably our last chance.
I beg you.
Give humanity hope!
What a rare sight!
Do you realize how many lives were lost because of your mistake back then?
Yes. That's...
Transferring your mind into an I-Machine and enjoying life after that...
And to entrust our destiny to you?
Yes. Um... I know that I've-
I'm his daughter, Clair Hojo.
My father named himself Grayman because he already considers himself dead!
I didn't have a mother and dad transferred his mind into an I-Machine to raise me.
It was not out of selfishness! That's the truth!
Dad... Dad might not have been an outstanding citizen, yes!
But the team that he created really is outstanding, I'm sure of it!
Please, have faith in my father's team!
I am the admiral of the federation army, Cecilia Ginney.
According to the reports, many of the team that your father created are criminals.
There is even someone without an ID number among them.
By all rights, you should have been arrested on the spot-
Before that, take a look at the plan!
And who might you be?
Mikuri Maya, I'm on the wanted list.
You mentioned someone without an ID... you mean our Mr. Ido, right?
More reason, then, to take a look at the plan!
It was made by someone society doesn't even think exists!
Do you understand? He didn't have to go to the trouble of making it!
I mean, everyone is telling him that he doesn't exist!
But... Mr. Ido is right here!
He's alive!
And everyone here, I'm...!
Huh?
Well, we told them, at least. The ball's on their side now.
I wonder what they will decide.
There's nothing to hope for, if you think normally.
You're right. They're probably looking at the plan in astonishment.
Since it's basically Mind Trance into Orichalt and pray.
It's not written so bluntly, though.
So what will they do? The army needs Orichalt for their retreat, too...
I believe...that humanity won't give up!
Uh, why are you laughing?
Man... Unbelievable!
Miss Maya was absolutely correct.
Huh?
The plan is accepted.
I've approved it and gave orders to the fleet.
We're entrusting the remaining Orichalt and humanity's future to your ship!
We choose the way forward.
And choose to keep living.
Admiral...
I expect great results from you!
Roger that!
Message to all ships.
Protect the mining ship Stulti with all of your firepower.
Well, chaps! Don't you dare get carried away and die!
Are you ready?
Yeah.
Ready and dandy!
All prepared.
How's Karla?
It's a fresh body, but I'll manage.
All right, Clair! Look after their bodies!
I know, leave it to me.
I'll make sure to maintain the Mind Out range.
Fa-Loser! Please keep Clair safe!
20 seconds until we begin the operation.
To think us diggers would have to save humanity...
In exchange for being pardoned. Can't shirk this job.
Alice! No, Jennifer.
Alice's remaining consciousness is within the Orichalt collected by Rajeev, right?
Yes. I'm sure.
It's time! Stulti, launch!
Set the quadrant and fire all Orichalt missiles!
Command to all fleets.
Begin the operation. I repeat, begin the operation.
Launch the Orichalt missiles.
Let's plunge into the hole the army dug for us!
Shoot the rocks blocking our way with Orichalt warheads!
Stulti has infiltrated Rajeev.
Depth of the crust until target point: 8,000 meters.
Will they have enough Orichalt missiles?
Maya!
On it!
Good. Now we just use what Addams dug out...
No way! It's shifting the crust itself?
3,000 meters left! Break it!
Roger! Amanda, dear, you too!
Be quiet!
Crust depth, 4,000 meters!
Only 2,000 meters left!
We're cutting it real close with our remaining missiles
Hm?
Dammit! It's shooting boulders at us!
We won't get anywhere like this!
We'll have to use all of them after all!
Please, let them reach the target depth...
500 meters left!
The crust is moving again! We're gonna hit it!
All right, got it!
Our last resort to break through.
Everyone, get away from the ship!
See ya, Stulti.
Release the Orichalt.
Let's go! We're almost at the destination!
Look out!
Miss Karla!
Karla!
I'm fine. I'll just Mind Out.
Ido, find Alice!
Don't stop! Hurry!
Ms. Amanza!
Welcome back.
I wanted to last a bit longer, but...
Good work. Now we put our hopes in the remaining members.
Yahoo! So thrilling!
That's it! Right now I feel alive!
Admiral Ginney, this is Clair Hojo.
They've reached the target depth.
So this is the core of Rajeev.
You've brought us far enough. Now it's up to the two of us.
Don't say that, let us at least back you up!
Let them do as they want.
It's Ido's resolve.
Mr. Ido, just in case you become an Orillian, make sure you don't lose yourself.
I can exist as myself because Rick, you and everyone here acknowledged me as Ido.
That's why I'll keep being Ido.
Please come back.
I'll try my best.
Let's go, Jennifer!
Yes!
Make sure to return!
Mind Out!
If Jennifer transferred into the Orichalt, then I, too...
So this is the space inside Orichalt.
An Orillian with nothing but consciousness.
Acknowledge myself.
Who am I? Identification... Who am I?!
What was I called?!
What was I?!
Kain?
Alice? Is that you, Alice?
Yeah.
But I'm not Kain. I'm Ido.
My friends call me Ido.
Ido?
Yes. That's right.
We finally meet.
Ido...
Unbelievable. So you've also Mind Tranced here?
Thank you. Thanks to your coming here, I was able to recognize myself.
Addams.
So we've reached the same conclusion.
As we are now, we can access Rajeev even in this assimilated crystallized form.
I will fulfill that duty.
Now, Alice, please open the communication gate to Rajeev.
So we can order it to stop.
No!
You're wrong, Addams.
That's not what I came here for.
Huh?
It's to reunite Alice and Jennifer.
To regain what was lost.
What're you saying?
I'm going to make Rajeev learn this.
Humanity's consciousness.
You want to teach human love to an unknown entity?
I'm not that much of a romantic.
Control or destruction will only be effective!
You're wrong.
We just need it to acknowledge humanity as part of its consciousness.
But can you say Rajeev will stop after acknowledging us, Kain?!
Kain Arisugawa!
Always thinking only you have all the answers!
And it's the same now!
Why didn't you dodge?
Fight already!
Don't you hate me?!
Don't you want to kill me?!
I do hate you.
You changed my life, I'm in this body because of you, I do hate you!
Well?
Even so, I can't!
The memories of Kain Arisugawa within me are telling me not to shoot you.
Even now you're trying to pity me?!
Stop this!
Let's stop this, Addams.
Mama!
Alice!
Addams!
Jennifer! You know, don't you?!
Kain's true nature!
Addams, now that you came here, you must have understood it, too.
The Kain you're looking for doesn't exist no more.
No matter what you do, it won't reach Kain.
You're lying!
Isn't Kain right here?!
For me, Kain Arisugawa is my closest stranger.
Right...
Kain is... gone.
Alice!
Mama!
Alice! I wanted to find you so much!
I wanted to find you, too! Don't leave me!
Of course I won't! We'll always stay together from now on. Always.
Thank you, Ido, for letting me meet my mother.
I'm sorry. Because the system was incomplete at the time...
No, I'm grateful.
Without the Mind Trance System, I wouldn't have been able to reunite with Alice like this...
Let's go, Addams. Come with us.
Please wait, I still have things to discuss with him...
What's happening?
Clair, we're using the Orichalt to escape!
No way, Mr. Ido's still-
Woah, it's shining.
Mr. Ido... Where's Mr. Ido?!
Picking up Maya's, Rick's and dad's transponders.
What about Ido?
Nothing yet.
Rajeev has started to move. It's going away from us.
They succeeded in accessing it?
I don't know, but looks like it's definitely leaving.
Mr. Ido! Mr. Ido, come back! You said you would! You said...
Mr. Ido!
Ido! Wake up!
Ido!
No use, he's still in Mind Out.
No way... Mr. Ido!
Mr. Ido! Mr. Ido!
That voice... Is that Mikuri Maya?
This is where we part. Head back.
Back to the world where you're called.
But this is my responsibility, too.
It's not. You're not Kain, after all.
That's why you can't stay here.
Thanks for everything... Ido.
Mr. Ido!
Ido, my boy!
Ido!
Where's Alice?
Where's Addams?
Looks like they're leaving.
So... Rajeev is safe now, right?
I wonder about that.
At least it must have learned there are others inside this universe besides the civilization that made it.
Everyone... You did a good job today.
Well done!
It's been so long since we left our home behind

Grayman, let's make the next digging point Lambda-23.
Huh? But there's...
There's a way in, according to Maya. It's worth trying.
Oh, that sounds fantastic! Go and kill yourself, Ido!
Haha, sure!
