Zone of the Enders
What do you want? You show me!
A numbing kind of touchdown!
Don't! You can't beat me!
Even God, I don't know!
About tomorrow, no problem, this hot pulsing is burning blood
Oh! Let's go, fearsome things are
No way! Get off my way!
Know where we are going?
Zone of the Enders
Danger! Craving for the danger! Obstructing everything
Give me! Give me more danger! Just break through it
Times are so bad my head spins, but open the way with love and anger!
There are two more. Who put up such things?
It's Dolores, of course.
Dolores?
They were here.
Damn. . .
This is where Isis was confirmed to be about five days ago.
From the remains of the battle left in the area,
it's unmistakable that this was a battle between orbital frames.
Is that so? I understand.
Good work, you three. You may retire.
Father, orders for pursuit!
Something, someone, is after Isis.
We can't overlook this!
This time I'll bring down Isis. . . James Links for sure!
This is not your problem. You have other orders, so standby.
But!
Rebecca, retire!
I understand.
I have no excuses. I am sorry.
Because of my subordinate's misconduct, Nebula has been lost.
I don't mind something of that degree.
Thank you very much.
Damn, why won't he let me pursue?
Calm down now, Rebecca.
Shut up! Don't you feel frustrated?
It means that Father trusts in them more than us, you know!
When it's supposed to be that we need to fight
as Father's, as Mars' strength!
We were told we weren't needed!
Don't touch me!
The Time of Reunion
They . . . I killed them.
Jim. . .
You called?
What's with the communications module being so big?
And the link with the core is strangely thick.
Hey, Leon!
Oh, Dad!
There should be a program link somewhere around there.
But what's going on?
This story book-looking forest and flowers?
Nothing we can do about it.
It's Dolores' impression of Scenery, so. . .
There's a big, old hole here.
Is this it?
Hey, Missy! It's this way!
Yes!
Uncle!
Oh, were you in a place like this?
Now I understand why it all looks like this.
It's deep and dark and scary!
Even so, we have no choice but to go on.
Because from here on in is the domain of the battle program.
Well, here we go.
That's it? It does sort of give me shivers.
Yes. . .
Dad, the castle in front of you is the data block.
I think the battle program is sleeping in the lower levels.
Okay!
That I'd be acting like Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves at this age. . .
The lock has opened, Uncle!
Okay!
Open, Sesame!
Eggs?
That's the form and shape word array. That's it.
I think.
Okay, take as much as you can carry, Missy.
Yes!
Oh, bad! They've noticed us! We'll make a run for it!
Yes!
Thieves!
Get them!
Don't let them escape!
Hurry! Hurry!
Yes!
Wait!
We should be all right since we've gotten this far.
We've dropped the eggs, haven't we?
There's still some left.
Look!
This one is pretty nice looking.
Oh! That big egg!
Bird shell things!
Uncle! It's twins!
It's not just twins!
What's going on with this?
Does it look like it'll work?
Yeah, it helps out because I can use the analyzer Nikolai left.
Does it look like you'll be able to use Isis's power?
It's impossible to use all of it,
but a part of her battle program should be at our fingertips.
There might be a heavy crossfire so,
well, it won't hurt to be able to use a little of it.
It's just that it's hard to understand Metatron technology.
I think we'll understand a lot when we can ask Mama, but. . .
And the secret of my birth will become known too, will it not?
I'm so excited!
As for the rest, Cindy and Raia are out gathering provisions.
Wouldn't it be better with just us
than teaming up with those suspicious characters?
In town, maybe, but our opponent is a Bufram base.
We'd never get in without them finding out!
We're too famous.
They're coming. They're coming.
Raia, that better not be a rental, is it?
Never! I wouldn't make a mistake like that!
When will I receive some of this?
You're part of the reason why we're like this! Understand?
Even if we borrow, we don't owe!
But that's. . .
Missy, access the base's line. We'll start hacking.
Roger!
I see it!
Chest!
I've connected, Uncle! I'll begin hacking.
Okay! Don't get detected now!
Hey, Dad, will this plan really work?
I was in the army and I'm saying it'll work, so it'll be all right.
That again?
He doesn't grow up, you know.
Say whatever you want.
We've come this far, just wait, Rachel.
Please show me your affiliation, full name, rank, and identification.
I'm First Lieutenant Cindy Leo, Eastern Branch, Public Relations Division.
Sergeant Raia Raia of the same.
Why am I a sergeant?
Yes, this is fine.
Excuse me, First Lieutenant? The civilians in the back are?
We brought them in because their actions were suspicious,
like they were spying on the base.
Hey, these guys couldn't be. . .
The Links Family!
Well you noticed, did you?
Their mother, Dr. Links is here, isn't she?
I wonder if they intended to steal her back?
That's a secret matter, and. . .
Don't underestimate the Public Relations Division's
ability to collect information!
This is Gate 6, connect me to Major Tadokoro,
no, to the Base Commander immediately. Hurry!
Aerial attack?!
Anyway, please get inside! Hurry!
Attract their attention to us.
Let's make it flashy, Missy.
Yes!
Unidentified craft, rapidly approaching!
It couldn't be. . . Is it the Earth Army?
Insufficient data.
Prepare the Raptor for maneuvers. We'll ambush them.
As if I'd let them go alive
after they've initiated battle with this base!
We got in easily, so let's go where Mama is quickly, all right?
Yes, yes, let's clean this up quickly!
Don't sweat it. We'll be suspected it we don't act naturally.
Uncle, they've come out.
10. . . 11 . . . 12. . .
Well. . . A lot?!
We'll draw them out and mix them up as much as possible.
We have those eggs with those look alike things packed in them, right?
They might come in handy.
Yes! I'll try using them!
Rebecca!
I have word that someone is engaged in battle with Nokuteisu Base!
Is it the Earth Army?
No. . .
It's him, James Links!
I'll lead. Follow me!
Damn, I can't catch up at all!
According to my calculations,
there will be a twenty-seven minute difference
between our arrivals at Nokuteisu Base.
Rebecca!
James Links. . .
That family bond you speak of, I'll tear it apart with our bond!
I don't want to be abandoned by Father!
Are you all right?!
Yes. . .
You can't use the egg with the bird shell things in it?
I tried using them, but it didn't change anything at all!
So it was a useless program?
We've cornered the unidentified craft.
One more push?
Launch all remaining Raptors.
All of them?
I don't care. Get them out!
Uncle! There's more of them again!
With this, I guess the idea of looking for an opening to sneak in
is impossible!
The defense field won't hold up any longer!
Oh, no! Oh, no!
My skin will burn!
Please stop! Please stop!
What?
This is. . .
Well, everyone? Please don't stare at me so.
Oh, dear. . .
Maybe these guys will listen to what you say, Missy!
That's impossible!
What's wrong?
All the Raptors have switched over to slave mode!
What?!
What's the meaning of this?!
How is it that they can take control of the Raptors?!
It seems that a higher-level system than the one here is intervening!
It can't be! Is the opponent the missing Isis?
What?! What is this shaking from?
Dad is causing something!
Give me a break!
I didn't hear that it was going to be such a big deal!
Hurry!
It's. . . It's no good.
So this is the reason for their request for reinforcements.
That Dolores! So she is able to control the Raptors?
Uncle!
What's wrong?
There's an orbital frame approaching all of the sudden!
Reinforcements? What a pain!
Target's stealth level at maximum!
Switching to anti-stealth optics, analog processing mode.
Okay!
Geez, when we're in battle it seems your brains blossom, right, Missy?
That makes it seem like I'm usually not!
You're mean, Uncle!
That's the normal Missy! I'm relieved!
Uncle! It's coming!
You're a pain!
James Links!
You're the main reason why I get so irritated!
Disappear!
Missy! Are you all right?
Yes!
But that beam is too high powered.
If we receive a direct hit. . .
There's no helping it. First, we'll knock that guy out of the sky.
Yes!
We can go, Missy!
I'll be pushed back!
Uncle?
Miss Rebecca is probably piloting that!
What? Are you serious?
The small habits are exactly the same as when we fought before.
What a situation. . .
Yes, but without the Base Commander's permission. . .
You know, you,
do you understand the situation when you say that?
That's right.
The base is in a big to-do because of the enemy attack.
If you dawdle and let us die, it'll be a big problem!
Oh, you're right. . .
If you get it, then hurry up and open it!
Yes! Right away!
Okay, excuse me for just a bit.
Oh, my, where did you come from?
A cat in a place like this. . .
Oh, a civilian was visiting.
Your master is here, kitty.
Mama?
Mother, it's me.
Noel?!
Leon?!
You two. . .
They said you died.
But you. . .
Rebecca!
Hey, answer me, won't you?
Transmissions futile. She's cut off transmissions.
Disappear! Disappear!
There's an increase in misfires in Miss Rebecca's attacks.
Does that mean it looks like you can stop her?
But how to stop her without breaking her?
Can you use the defense shield?
Yes!
Okay, then I have an idea!
Why don't they hit?! Why?!
Miss Rebecca?
She's all right, isn't she?
I lost?
The bond. . .
The bond between my father and I . . . .
Fight and bring victory to Mars.
That is the proof of the bond between you and I.
As if Earthlings and Martians had anything to do with it!
Are you all right?
Miss Rebecca?
Miss Rebecca. . .
Leon, don't go so fast. If you fall, it's all lost.
What are you going to do if we dilly-dally and they catch up?
This car is a rental, so please be careful with it!
Nokuteisu is in shambles, and we've got the bird shells on lookout.
They can't come after us!
And, what's that following us?
Oh, him?
He's been following us and doing nothing since earlier.
What's going on, Missy?
The way I see it is that person may want a friend.
That's fine, isn't it? If it's not doing anything bad.
That's true, right?
Idiot!
What?!
You are. . .
I asked you to hide Dolores,
and you're doing practically the opposite!
Bringing us all the way to a place like this!
And on top of it, involving the kids in such a dangerous affair!
That. . . That is a lot happened, and. . .
You!
Just a minute, Mama.
What?
Mama. . .
Mama, you don't have the right to hit Papa!
Noel. . .
Left. . .
You left, didn't you?
You didn't say anything and you left, didn't you?
Without even talking to us, you know.
Even if we were little, we were still family!
That's right, Mama. . .
Mama was selfish.
I was a bad Mama.
Do you feel bad for what you've done?
I feel bad for Leon too.
Mama!
Noel, I was wrong.
No, it's not just you, Mama. Everyone was wrong.
Mama. . .
Okay, everyone, look this way!
A deeply moved Links Family,
in commemoration for everyone being together.
Oh, me too!
A flying ship, dreams of a journey grown cold
My memory returns inside the brilliant light
When enfolded in the gentle breeze
Frozen eyes melt, time begins to move
The bells rings, ring on, ring on
This Earth awakens life
And then it shines, ring on, ring on
Ring on, ring on, the world
