The Phoenix
In an old spacecraft orbiting the Earth...
...rested the body of Professor Saruta...
...whose dying wish was to see the return of life to Earth.
Mom! Look I found some abalone shells!
I got some purban shells!
Welcome home.
Tamami? What's wrong?
Masato, I'm a little tired...
Tamami!
Come on, Tamami!
Tamami...
Tamami, you must be exhausted.
I'm sorry, you work so hard, trying to make my dreams come true.
You're my only reason to live...
I want to be with you forever...
Good night. Tamami.
Masato...
Tamami! What's going on?
It's time for my farewell.
What are you talking about? Where are you going?
Even a Moopie's long lifespan isn't as long as yours, Masato.
You can't go!
Please don't go!
I was so happy being with you, Masato.
Tamami!
The Future Chapter 2
Long time no see, Robita.
How do you feel?
Hello, my name is Robita.
I am programmed to serve you as an assistant in your scientific research.
Hello, my name is Robita.
I am programmed to serve you...
Okay, Robita, I understand.
It's been like this for six years now.
I just want someone to talk to...
Hello, my name is Robita.
Tamami...
Now I really am alone.
There is nobody else in this vast universe...
Nobody else.
What am I supposed to do?
Hello. My name is Robita.
I am programmed to provide you...
Shut up! I am programmed to provide you...
No...
I don't want to be alone...
Help me. Please someone help me!
Damn it!
Why does it have to be me?
Why do I have to live forever?
We are now entering Yamato City.
No signs of life detected.
It's an air car!
Someone's there.
Rock...
We are shifting into long distance mode.
We are entering Area UMP 39116.
No vital signs detected.
I figured as much.
We are entering Area UMP 5537.
The city melted in the intense heat, and crystallized on the surface.
We are entering UNP 482. No vital signs detected.
What could possibly survive in a sea of nitric acid?
Signs of life?
It's impossible!
I've never detected any life signs before...
It's an abandoned shelter...
Hello? Is anyone here?
It should be around here...
What's this place?
Hello? Is anyone here?
All the flowers are dried up...
Someone's sleeping in there...
Good night. I will see you again in 5000 years. - Lena Weltell.
Lena Weltell? Who is she?
Please wake up! I haven't met anyone in 300 years.
I want to see you and talk to you right now!
4660 years and 274 days remaining?
No! I can't wait that long!
5000 years may pass quickly for you...
...but to me, it's an eternity!
Oh, I see. Because of the radiation...
If you come out now, you'd be just like those flowers...
4660 years and 274 days and 11 hours and 36 seconds...
I guess I have to wait.
Lena Weltell, I wonder what you're dreaming about...
I just hope you won't be sorry when you wake up.
A flower seed?
Yes! They're alive!
The seeds are alive!
I will fill this room with flowers before she wakes up!
It was going so well...
What happened?
That's not going to work.
Grass, birds, reptiles, bugs, and bacteria...
...all those beings contribute to a single ecosystem.
I see, so I need to create frogs and whales in order to make flowers blossom?
4648 years and 98 days until Miss Weltell awakes.
It's been only 12 years since I found her.
You will be sleeping for Another 4648 years, Lena...
Fine.
With that much time on my hands, perhaps I could create a life or two.
I can use all the data Professor Saruta collected.
Besides, I have an excellent assistant.
4623 years and 125 days remaining.
Yes, I did it!
I finally did it!
I've discovered the origins of life!
How many years has it been...
400 years and 52 days left...
It'll be 5000 years tomorrow.
I can meet her tomorrow.
I'm finally going to meet you...
How I've longed for this day to come, Lena Weltell...
20 hours and 24 minutes left...
It'll be soon...
Soon...
Very soon...
She will soon wake up.
She is going to wake up!
Hey!
What's the matter?
Wake up!
Please wake up!
I've been coming to visit you for 300 years!
I'm going to pry it open!
For 5000 years, I've been living everyday, looking forward to seeing you.
What am I supposed to look forward to for the next 5000 years?
And the 5000 after that...
10,000 years, 1,000,000 years, 10,000,000 years, and 100,000,000 years...
Time beyond the comprehension of any living being passed...
Masato was still living in absolute loneliness.
Looks like a lot of them this time.
Well, this isn't a bad way to kill some time.
It's Professor Saruta's diary.
Jung had a theory of coincidence.
He believed that all coincidences were, ultimately, matters of necessity.
Everything happens the way it's supposed to.
If there is no cause, there is no effect.
But I sometimes wonder if perhaps...
...I missed some necessary coincidence along the way.
If there is no cause, there is no effect.
Cause and effect.
That is everything.
The Phoenix?
I see. That's how it is...
The world isn't over yet.
Look, the world is about to be reborn.
The thunder and eruptions are indeed the cry of the new world being born.
I've been given the gift of eternal life.
I exist right here and now, and everything begins here.
And the result of this eternal moment will be new life.
And I can live to see it myself.
Right now, my organic substance can become the seed of a living world!
Oh, birds...
Is that...
That's mankind!
I've been waiting for this day to come...
Professor Saruta, can you see it?
It took three billion years, but your experiment has finally bore fruit!
Tamami! What are you doing here?
I've been by your side all this time.
I knew you'd notice me someday.
All this time?
Look!
Are they...
That star is Rock.
And that one is Professor Saruta, me, and you, and...
All the lives that are born in this world.
All the lives...
The many are made from the one, and one is made from the many.
So we all have eternal life from the beginning?
Perhaps, life itself is that which has no end.
That which has no end... That's life...
Come with me.
Life itself is that which never ends.
And we each have eternal life from the beginning.
