There's no going back to those days,
but I swear that now, I'll beat out your sorrow
I may not overcome it unharmed,
exhaustively marking the footprints
of the journey to meet you again
You once taught me that
the pounding of the heart is what drives us on
They haven't taken our future away,
and knowing that, I can go on
Just go on
As long as you smile, as long as you can sing,
that becomes everything that I desire
Wow
The courage you've given me, the kindness you've shown me,
gives me the strength to look forward and walk on
Oh, no!
Syaoran-kun!
I'll be right back.
It's too dangerous!
You won't come back alive.
I won't be a burden to the rest of you.
Kurogane-san...
You're planning to take their vehicles,
and go get the feather back, right?
I can tell just what you're thinking.
Yes.
Let's go!
Right!
You hurry up and go get the feather.
But, Kurogane-san, you'll be by yourself.
Huh? Who do you think you're talking to?
All right.
Syaoran, hang in there!
What is he doing?
It looks like he's planning to make off with the bad guy's vehicle.
They did it!
We're saved!
Shogo-kun!
Well, well, you never know what's going to happen in life, do you?
What are you doing?
I'm taking out this combat beam-emitting device.
If I connect this connector to the plug inside the bus,
it becomes a handheld.
You seem to be quite accustomed to handling these.
I'm...
...on the technical staff for the company that makes these Road Trains.
Is that right?
But...
...I'm worn out.
I spent all of my time working,
and before I knew it, I had lost many important things.
I thought, "I can't go on like this,"
so I took some time off from the company, and started traveling...
to find some "answer" that would lead to my future.
But it's not that simple.
Such an expedient "answer" is not all that easy to find, you know?
Thank you.
Life is like...
Say, Shogo-kun, what's going to become of us now?
Don't worry, just go to sleep.
Mm-hmm.
Early in the afternoon, as our song goes on,
we awaken to become one
For the first time, we will discover the real meaning of happiness
Please take me with you
Now, on to entertainment news.
The popular idol Primera-san has been rushed to the hospital.
This was made known in an interview with her agency yesterday.
Details specifying the nature of her illness have not yet been announced.
Owing to Primera-san's sudden hospitalization,
--today's scheduled concert has been cancelled.
--So Primera-chan is an idol in this world, too, huh?
--But why would someone like her be here?
I'm sure there's some reason.
W-What are you looking at?! Am I not allowed to be here?!
Nobody said anything of the sort.
More importantly, could I get an autograph from you?
My grandkids are big fans of yours.
No! Absolutely not!
Well, you don't have to be so indignant.
I can't take it anymore.
Signing so many autographs every day,
shaking hands until my hands are swollen,
and smiling, even when I'm not enjoying myself.
I can't take that life anymore.
Everyone always tells me to do this, or do that,
and no one ever lets me do a single thing that I want to do.
Okay, that's enough.
Shogo-kun...
We're running away.
I am her manager, but you see...
You're in love, huh?
Yeah.
I don't know the entertainment world very well,
but isn't that sort of thing not good?
That's why we're running away.
Everyone would try to make us break up, after all.
Just like me.
I'm right in the middle of running away, too.
I've given up trying to find my answer.
Life is a series of concessions.
Like a balloon that is filled all the way up,
with air leaking out of it, a little at a time,
every time we give something up, our hopes and dreams shrivel away.
That is what it is for people to grow old, I suppose.
Mekyo!!
Mokona!
The feather has stopped!
What?
That's it!
Can't we increase our speed?
We're on auto-pilot, so we can't.
What's that?
If that thing blocks our way, we might not make it in time.
You bastard, get us there faster!
At this rate, it doesn't look good.
I have an idea.
You're a tenacious one, huh?
But Syaoran-kun, your hand is hurt.
It's all right.
I am not going to give up until I get your feather, Princess.
Stand aside.
Voice data match, employee number 020301 .
Voice confirmed. Allowing program alteration.
Here we go! Everyone, hang on to something!
T-Too late, are we?
What are they planning to do?
Are they still trying to get the feather?
That's right.
Syaoran-kun is a person who never gives up, after all.
Come on!
Incredible!
Syaoran!
That idiot.
Syaoran-kun!
Hang in there... hang in there...
Hold on tight!
Come on, almost there.
Of all the times for these troublemakers to show up!
They've come to get revenge for yesterday.
Can't we do anything?
We do have some weapons!
I'll get them ready. Someone else drive!
I'll take care of that.
--Old timer... --You can drive?
Don't sell me short. Despite appearances,
I used to be a pro at handling mecha, long ago. And, click...
Hey, kid!
Hurry and get the feather!
Right!
A bit right... a little lower...
There!
Next, we'll aim for the one behind him.
Left... more...
a bit higher...
There!
Nice shooting.
Kid!
Left... fire!
Syaoran-kun!
Nice catch!
Thank you very much.
It's over.
Yes.
We finally got the Princess's feather back.
You'll be... okay with that, right?
Mm-hmm.
Is something the matter, Princess?
Yukito-san...
Did you have a quarrel with the king, or something?
No, I didn't.
You mustn't ever give up, at anything.
No matter how embarrassed you may be,
or who might laugh at you,
if you give up, you'll never be able to move forward from there.
If, Princess, somebody somewhere is responsible
for causing you unhappiness,
why don't you try telling that person whatever you are feeling?
Thank you very much, Yukito-san.
I will try that.
Syaoran-kun...
Thank you.
This is where we part ways, huh?
Mm-hmm. Take care.
You too, Sakura-san.
Thank you.
After meeting all of you, I feel like I want to move forward now, too.
We've made a decision, too. We're going back to the agency,
and make them officially recognize that we are seeing each other.
I plan to tell them adamantly that idols fall in love, too!
Fantastic.
Good luck!
Old timer, could I ask you a question?
What is it?
Earlier, you said that there was no happenstance in this world,
that all that there was was inevitability, right?
Who did you hear those words from?
I didn't hear that from anyone.
It's one of the truths that I've learned over my lifetime.
I mean, don't you think that this trip really showed that?
Syaoran-kun, I remembered something.
Some words that are very important.
They go...
Life is...
There he goes again.
...something you can't give up at.
...or something.
--Right. --Right.
You haven't yet realized
that the two of us have the power to change even yesterday
For no reason, I'm lonely (lonely)
with tears streaming down my face
I'm missing my one and only (only)
the one I trace out in the sky, and that's you
Take my, take my hand, and let's go on together,
reach out, reach out your hand, and catch hold of the wind,
take my, take my hand, and do not be afraid,
hold my, hold my hand, and I can fly,
when I'm with you
Puu!
We're here in the land of Recolte. There is a large library in town,
so Syaoran is thrilled, since he likes books.
As soon as we start looking to see if there are any leads on the feather--
Oh, my! Syaoran!
Exactly what happened to Syaoran, you ask?
Just wait until you see!
Tsubasa Chronicles, "Black Steel."
Next time, your heart will pound over a teeny little Kuro-rin!
