Zone of the Enders
What do you want? You show me!
Shibireru youna, touchdown!
Don't! You can't beat me!
Kamisama datte, I don't know!
Asu no koto nado, no problem, atsui kodou wa, burning blood
Oh! Let's go, osoreru mono wa
No way! Get off my way!
Know where we are going?
Zone of the Enders
Danger! Craving for the danger! Saegiru subete
Give me! Give me more danger! Buchikowasu dake
Kurakura kuru hodo yabai toki demo ai to ikari de kattsuruo hirake!
Vanishing Point
Dolly, we're almost to Earth.
Upsey daisy . . .
Upsey daisy, upsey daisy . . .
Pete, it's very compressed inside the vector trap, so it's dangerous.
Yes, yes, upsey . . .
Can you hear me, Missy?
Oh, no!
What are you doing?
Well, this time I can't get it out, and. . .
The plan for the ambush attack
arrived from Earth's General Staff Headquarters earlier.
Abu Simbel should arrive in Earth space in about twenty-nine hours.
They are currently deploying
a mass catcher as a barricade in the moon's outer orbital path.
If they enter at the projected velocity,
we will without a doubt be able to destroy them.
In the one in a million chance they are able to break through it,
right above the Moon's orbital path
will become the second line of defense.
They will aim a rail cannon from the moon's surface.
It will scatter mass bullets
above the opponents' orbit and obstruct their advance.
In addition, five thousand LEVs will be deployed
to the third consecutive defense line, and in addition to that
another five thousand in the vicinity of Central Station.
Amazing!
So Anchor Station is a gaping hole after all.
Anchor Station?
It's the part that balances the orbital elevator.
Central Station's orbit is at a point 36,000 km from Earth.
With that as a fulcrum, the elevator stretches above and below.
Located 11,000 km from Central Station is Anchor Station.
It's something like a balancing toy, isn't it?
But one side is three times as long as the other side.
Will it balance that way?
I see. That's why they made Anchor Station really heavy.
It's just as you said.
If the Anchor is destroyed,
the elevator will lose its balance and descend to Earth.
If that happens,
the elevator will fall in the direction of the Earth's rotation
as if it was winding around it.
Using a whip with a diameter of two kilometers,
and a total length of 47,000 km, to hit the Earth
with a speed exceeding that of sound,
the Earth will unquestionably be destroyed.
Just a minute! If that's so,
then the defense of Anchor Station is most important, isn't it?
However, the big guys on Earth don't think so.
Why?
Even if they do something like that,
it won't be of any benefit to Mars.
And then. . .
That there's someone who seriously wants to massacre
the Earth's population of one hundred twenty million people. . .
You wouldn't believe that, would you?
The plan will begin in about twenty hours.
This is the last time we get to rest.
Finally . . .
What is it?
Your face was looking kind of good, so. . .
Stupid, I always look like a movie star.
That's right. I'll take a picture of the two of you.
Wait a minute, really . . . Geez. . .
Now, why don't you link arms or something?
Who would do that with something like this?!
Oh, dear. . .
This is 0-3 from Platoon L-2. Deployment of Block 3 complete.
Okay! Head over to support Platoon 0-5 as you are.
We only have twenty-nine hours until they get there!
Really! As if you could get ready for a war in only two weeks!
Cut away the boosters!
The past two weeks have been like Heaven to me.
After this war ends, we're really going to be together until we die.
Really! Be a little thoughtful!
You said Abu Simbel is breaking into Earth's sphere of influence?!
The analysis pattern is identical to that which was reported from Mars.
It's not a mistake. It's Abu Simbel.
It couldn't be! Did they get through the mass catcher?!
Deviation from the projection: twenty hours!
We're only thirty-five percent ready for the plan!
Target! Moving straight ahead at a speed of 100,000 km!
It appears it will reach the third line in three hours.
A speed of 100,000 km?!
As if they can come in at that speed and enter Earth's orbit!
Just a minute,
weren't we suppose to arrive twenty-three hours ahead of Abu Simbel?
What in the world's going on?
So they failed in their deceleration?
No, that's not right.
Radium has seen through Earth's defensive plan.
I'm sure he has something in mind!
Okay, I'll head for Anchor Station ahead of you guys with Missy.
Auntie, big brother Leon, big sister Noel,
Mr. Sameggi, Miss Cindy, and Pete,
it was for a short time, but I've been treated well by you.
I will never forget this debt.
Really! What kind of unlucky things are you saying?
Papa, we'll catch up to you soon.
Dad, if you die before then,
I'll come all the way to Hell to complain!
Leon, I'll leave this ship to you.
I'll leave the rest to you.
Dolores. . .
Please, protect Jim.
Yes!
Here we go, Missy!
Yes, Uncle!
Target approaching!
Spread a barrage above the projected course!
I don't care if you don't aim!
Spread it around as much as you can spread it!
Target is breaking into the second defensive line!
Don't rush things!
At that speed, they can't enter Earth's orbit.
Entering the second deceleration!
Moon Surface Base transmissions failed!
Commander! Abu Simbel is turning!
What?!
Abu Simbel has entered Earth's orbit!
Compress space with a vector trap
and decelerate with the moon's gravitational pull.
That they'd use such a trick. . .
Mama, we're going to enter deceleration pretty soon too.
Father, we'll attack first.
Go! We don't have time!
He hasn't spoken to us even once since we left Mars.
He's not relying on us.
Shut up! Don't say unnecessary things!
We should think only of our job!
Father. . .
All craft, take off!
So you've finally come. Late, aren't you?
It was to the point where I was getting bored waiting on Earth.
Then get rid of your boredom as much as you like.
Roger!
We will annihilate enemies heading for Anchor Station!
Roger!
Enemy orbital frames confirmed!
Two hundred headed straight for Central Station!
All units, prepare for attack!
Surround them and bathe them in concentrated gunfire!
Don't let even one of their craft come close!
Uncle, it seems the battle has begun!
What a thing to happen!
Please make it in time!
You're there, aren't you, Dolly?
Radium. . .
Let's go. From here on, it's a world for just the two of us.
A big one's coming in! Surround it! An intense round of fire. . .
Units 7, 17, 19, 24, 38 decimated!
At this rate they will penetrate the third defensive line!
How many casualties is the enemy taking?
About five percent according to confirmed data.
Commander Crimson!
There's a transmission from James Links on the emergency circuit!
Connect it to the main monitor!
The ones flying around are unmanned craft!
Crush the ones that command them!
It's the big white one with wings!
What did you say?
We haven't sighted a fuselage like that!
Then, crush Abu Simbel first! Don't let Hathor attack!
All units! Concentrate your attack on Abu Simbel!
Die, you Earth scum!
About the right time, isn't it?
Rot, you Earthlings!
Oh, did we do it?!
It's no good, the orbital frames won't stop!
What?!
Damn! That Radium, he did it again!
He used this huge number of orbital frames as a cover!
Missy, Hathor's already headed for Anchor Station!
Do whatever you have to to catch up to them!
Yes!
Uncle, hold on!
I see it, Dolly.
That's the promised land.
I won't let anyone get in the way of where we're going now.
Uncle, I can see it! It's Anchor Station!
Okay! Let's find him!
Damn! There're people following us?!
That's the orbital frame Rebecca was in!
Missy, connect with Rebecca's circuit.
Yes!
Miss Rebecca! Please listen to us!
You! Let go!
Stop it already! I can't be your opponent!
Shut up! Until our admiral's ship defeats you. . .
Admirable?!
As if there's anything admirable in what you're doing?
Shut up!
Why don't you understand that there's no future
in just killing people?!
Shut up! I'm right!
That's my father's, Radium Lavans', teachings!
He's your father?!
Let's get away, Missy! We don't have time!
Yes!
As if I'd let you go!
This is Wired. Please reply, Central Station! Control Room!
What? They've already been pushed back near Central Station!
Jim. . .
Damn!
We're defeated?
Okay, then let's head for Anchor Station!
We can't.
Even in the one in a million chance that something happens there,
the only system that can deal with it is in Central Station.
But to go there,
we have to go through the middle of the battlefield!
That's too rash for rash!
What'll we do? Captain?
Let's head for Central Station.
What?! Are you insane?!
Yeah, I'm my father's son, so, well. . .
Really!
Okay!
Big brother!
You've gotten a little wild, haven't you?
Still just a little?
You! Slippery guy!
AIM!
FIRE!
Rully!
I shouldn't do things that don't fit my character, should I?
Rully!
Damn!
Mr. Links, we've come to back you up!
I'm grateful!
Missy!
We'll take this opportunity to drag Rebecca and them free, and. . .
You are!
James Links!
Our strange connection up till now, I'll end it here!
Rebecca!
I won't let you escape anymore! You!
Please stop, Miss Rebecca! I don't want to fight!
If only you guys would disappear, Father would. . .
Shake her off, Missy!
Well, I'm being squeezed, and. . .
Die! James Links!
Uncle! I'll save you now!
Oh! I can't get free!
You!
You did well! I won't let your life go to waste!
Is he planning to fire on one of his own too?
For the sake of opening up Mars' future,
one person's life is a small thing!
DIE! James Links!
Uncle!
Isis, I'll take you with me!
No!
Even though I'm near Anchor Station,
I can't even pull up one child!
I've gotten weak, haven't I?
Why is it? Why?
Are you planning to save me and throw away Earth?!
Shut up! You're ruining my concentration!

Thank you for taking the orbital elevator today and welcome.
The first floor is Grand Station and the second is Central Station.
I've always wanted to try being an elevator girl at least once!
And if there's anyone who tries to wreck my dreams,
I won't forgive them, not even my own younger sister!
Next Zone of the Enders, Dolores:
"Sorrowing Angel"
Anchor Station on the top floor is the site of the final battle!
