SUPER ROBOT WARS ALPHA 2 ZENGAR ROUTE STAGE 18 ***STAGE 18*** PACIFIC OCEAN, ORPHAN Yuu: (...even though it's my birthday, no one probably remembers...) (...Hime Utsumiya... yes, that was it. ...wonder what kind of kid she is?) (...I've turned 17. Kanan... sorry, but...!) Kensaku Isami: ...I think there must be some connection between that energy and Orphan's activation. Midori Isami: Are you talking about what was sensed in the regions where Plates underwent Revival...? Kensaku: Mm-hmm. What the Governor called Bimura. Midori: A type of organic energy? Kensaku: I think it's something made up of more than that. In any event, we have to study the relationship further. Midori: Yes. While things are quiet up above. Kensaku: ...the powerful underwater-reaching Vital Globe discovered after the last war... And, the Jupiterians' Psycommu System recovered from the Sea of Japan... Orphan is being affected by outside influences more than planned. At this rate... (Door slides) Yuu: ..... Midori: Ara, you have good timing. I want to take your data once more. Would you mind making the preparations? (Gun loading sound) Kensaku: ! Yuu...! Yuu: ..... Midori: Put down that gun...! Yuu: If Orphan surfaces from the ocean, all of humanity's going to die, right? I've had enough of this job aiding that! Midori: You became a Reclaimer as well, at age 7... for the sake of Orphan's rise... Yuu: It's painful to join my mind and body with a Grandcher to become an Antibody! Kensaku: Yuu, compose yourself! Yuu: Thanks to your research, Dad, children were made into guinea pigs...! Ever since coming here with Mom and Sis, I've been just an Antibody of Orphan! (Gunshot) Yuu: ! Sis!? Quincy: Traitor! Kensaku: Wait, Iiko! Quincy: I am Quincy Issa. Not Iiko Isami! Yuu: Kh-! Quincy: ! You think you can flee!? Midori: Could this be called... the will of Orphan...!? Kensaku: Is that what it is...? (Alarm sounds) Yuu: Hey, will you come with me? Yuu Brain: ..... Yuu: Do you want to see the sun too? Yuu Brain: ..... Yuu: That's right! You're not one of those Orphan guys. Hurry up...! You don't wanna get scrapped in this Brain Powered trash bin do you? Yuu Brain: ..... Yuu: We're going out into the ocean. You can handle the pressure right? Okay... that's a good child! Now, go! I'm counting on you! G ISLAND CITY Akari: Ah~! Yukio, no fair! You took two pieces of cake! Yukio: Since I'm bigger, just one isn't enough! Ropet: EVERYONE, YOU SHOULD NOT ARGUE. Hachiro: Then, have another serving. Kumazo: Irui, you want some too? Irui: That's okay. I'm already full... Kenta: Then can I take this? Irui: Sure... Kenta: Then, Ropet. Serve me up another serving of cake. Ropet: NOT WITHOUT OVA'S PERMISSION. Kenta: Eh~!? What's this!? OVA: Kenta-kun, you'll get sick if you eat too many sweets. Kenta: Geez! You're so nosy, oba-san! (Obasan = aunt) OVA: My name is OVA. How many times must I tell you not to add -san to it? Kenta: Biiiih! I wouldn't listen if you told me a hundred times~! OVA: Oh, honestly, Kenta-kun! (Door slides) Sanshiro: Hey, hey... what's with all the racket? Hime: What are all of you doing? OVA: Excuse us... it's as you observe. I'm losing confidence in myself as a tutor robot... Ropet: IT CANNOT BE HELPED. PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE AFTER ALL. OVA: Y, yes... I have no dignity left... Hime: Yukio, Akari, Kumazo! Don't misbehave, listen to what OVA says properly! Yukio: S, sorry, Hime-neechan. Kumazo: I'm sorry! Sanshiro: Well, it's no big deal right? The children being happy is most important. Hime: But, if they start getting in the way on the Daikumaryu and causing trouble... Sanshiro: It's fine, it's fine. The Daikumaryu's interior is wide, there's nothing to bother about. Hachiro: Hey, Sanshiro-san! Teach these kids how to play baseball! Sanshiro: Yeah, sure. Yukio: Awesome~! To learn from a pro pitcher, I'm awed~! Sanshiro: In return, keep strict practice, okay? Kumazo: I'll do my best! Irui: ..... OVA: Ara, Irui-chan. What's wrong? Irui: ...coming... OVA: Eh? What is? Irui: ...I don't know... Hime: Don't know what... Irui-chan...? (Alarm sounds) Daimonji: What is it!? Midori: Message from Novis Noah! There's a mech of unknown origin approaching G Island City! Daimonji: Can you identify the class of mech!? Midori: Antibody, Grandcher... no, a Brain Powered! Daimonji: !! Pete: If it's a Brain Powered, shouldn't the origin be Novis Noah!? Daimonji: That's why I asked! All hands, condition alert! Pete: Roger! EPISODE 18: THE SHIP THAT TRAVELS THE GALAXY Yuu: (This Brain Powered bonding with me... it's totally different from what Dad and the others said...!) Taiga: The response from Novis Noah? Mikoto: Looks like that's an unidentified Brain Powered. Leo: If it's a Brain then it's not a Reclaimer. But I wonder what it came here for? Uchiyama: Who knows...? Maybe it's a lost child. Hyuuma: How can you be that optimistic! That's why the Alpha Numbers are here for us to call on! Let's request for them to sortie! Swan: No! They're already going to sortie! (Daikumaryu appears) [Carrier select] [Launch] Nanga: That's certainly a Brain Powered. Rasse: Where and with whom did it undergo Revival? Hime: (That Brain... maybe...!) Hyuuma: Get on with it and disable that guy's weapons! Taiga: Hold on. It doesn't look like he's displaying any will to attack us. Mikoto-kun, open up a channel. Mikoto: Roger! Taiga: To the Brain Powered out there. What is your reason in coming here? Yuu: ...GGG Chief, Kotarou Taiga, right? I came to hand over the data on the B-Plate you all are holding. Taiga: Hm... so you know my true identity. And even about the B-Plate... Yuu: I also know that this is the secret location of Novis Noah. And further, that you all are keeping the B-Plate safe. Leo: Chief, he's... Taiga: Yeah, he's made a lucky guess. Hime: That kid, there's no mistaking him! Roux: Hime! Where are you going!? Hime: You! Yuu: That voice! Hime Utsumiya...? Hime: Ah! It's Yuu Isami...! It's Yuu-kun!! Nanga: What'd you say!? So doesn't that make him a Reclaimer!? Hyouma: Eeh!? Reclaimers don't use Brain Powereds right!? Kosuke: R, right. Hyouma: So how come that guy's riding one!? (Alarm sounds) Swan: Chief! Emergency transmission from Novis Noah! A Reclaimer squad is on the way! Taiga: What!? (Enemy units appear) Kenta: Those mecha are...!? Irui: ..... OVA: Kenta-kun, Irui-chan! It's dangerous so stay inside! Sirrah: ...you won't escape from Orphan, Yuu!! Yuu: ! Sirrah: Kanan! Your role is to back me up! Got it!? Kanan: ...understood. (Sirrah Gras...! Do you intend to take Yuu down?) Yuu: Kanan... can't you join me? We talked about this already! Kanan: The one who said that because it would be better not to revive the Earth, we shouldn't surface Orphan, was just you! Yuu: Kanan...! Surely you must understand what I've said! Hyuuma: Hey! At this rate, G Island City's gonna be endangered again!! Judau: Damnit! Just after we protected those kids the other day! Hime: Kumazo and Akari and the others are also on board! We can't let the Reclaimers do as they like! Taiga: It's unavoidable...! All units, drive back the Reclaimers! [Commence Battle] [Hime vs Kanan] Kanan: You're the Brain Powered from that other time! If we hadn't met you, Yuu and I wouldn't have been caught up in this mess!! Hime: !! [Turn 1 NPC Phase] Yuu: Kanan! Kanan: Why didn't you discuss it with me! Yuu: I discussed it! But you were always so preoccupied with your own things! Kanan: I was...? Yuu: Ever since the time you encountered the Brain Powered...! Kanan: Is that true...! Yuu: Kanan... can't you leave Orphan? Kanan: It's not like I can just do that! I can't! Yuu: Out of Sirrah and Jonathan and Quincy and Dad and Mom... Kanan, you've always been set apart from the rest of Orphan! You can't keep being childish forever, can you! Kanan: Don't you think someone who flees their house without a second thought is more likely to be a child forever? Yuu: I realized what was wrong about Orphan. I learned the only people who would survive would be those working in Orphan...! For the Reclaimers to be the only people who make it through alive... that's... absolutely wrong! Kanan: ..... Yuu: I understood... when I boarded the Brain Powered. Though Orphan couldn't make it move... it moved. Kanan: Unlike you, my only place to return to is Orphan! Hime: Hold on! What do you mean by that!? Yuu: Don't interrupt! This is between me and Kanan! Hime: How come!? Is that person your sister!? Your girlfriend!? Yuu: Don't be ridiculous! Grandchers are coming!! [Yuu vs Kanan] Yuu: Kanan! As long you rely on Orphan, you'll never be happy!! Kanan: I... I just, don't want to foreswear what I was born to do! Yuu: Then that's all the more reason to break away from Orphan! Sirrah: Kanan! I won't allow you to listen to the words of the one who stole the Brain Powered! Yuu: Kanan's got her heart set on not letting anyone love her! Kanan: I haven't been loved since before I was born! (Combat sequence) Kanan: Wh, what is it!? It won't move!? It refuses...!! Sirrah: Kanan! You tried to abandon the Grancher!! Kanan: I just wanted to take Yuu back with us!! Sirrah: Yuu Isami is an obstacle! As for me and Jonathan! I'll see you dead together with him!! Kanan: !! (Combat sequence) Yuu: KANAN!! Hime: You don't need to worry. Yuu: What...!? Kanan: Wh, why did you save me...? Hime: It wasn't me, it was this kid. He says... you're not a Reclaimer. Kanan: !! Yuu: Y, you...! Kanan: So you slipped by! I'll still take you all down!! Hime: !! Yuu: (With her... it might work!) Hime: What are you going to do!? Yuu Isami!! Yuu: Hime-chan, stick by me! Hime: Stick by? Stay close!? Sirrah: I'll let you die together with Yuu as friends!! Hime: I can't aim!! Yuu: You don't have to aim! (Combat sequence) Sirrah: Wh, what!? This Organic Wave is-!? Rasse: That light just now...!! Umon: The two of them joined their power!? Hime: What was that? Just now...! Yuu Isami... you? Yuu: Organic Wave... it might be like the Antibodies' Chakra Wave Motion, but... Burning: All units, don't let this chance slide! Intercept the Grandchers! [Resume battle] [Sirrah defeated] Sirrah: No! Even a Grandcher can't take much more than this...! [When first wave of enemies is wiped out] (Orphan reinforcements appear) Jonathan: ...to deal with them, we needed more than just advance forces, huh. Egga: In any case, this place is done for now. All we have to do is stall for time until then. Yuu: Jonathan! Jonathan: Yuu...! In that incomplete Antibody! Yuu: Jonathan! Us fighting won't accomplish anything! Jonathan: I'll wipe out all those who stand in the way of what Orphan is doing! Your mission was the same thing! Yuu: Now I'm different! The mission of the Grandchers and the goal of Orphan are all wrong! Jonathan: They're not wrong! Yuu: Screw the Grandcher squadron's mission! Jonathan: Orphan's fulfillment is the fulfillment of all mankind! Yuu: Before that, all of mankind will be destroyed! Jonathan: Humanity's genes will live on within Orphan and the Grandchers! Camille: That man...! That way of thinking is... Kincaid: Like Neo Zeon and the Jupiter Empire...! Duo: Whoever or whatever, unstable thinking leads to unstable methods. Katsu: So in the end, the only thing that changes is the shape...! Kera: Complaining won't do anything. Our mission right now is to protect G Island City... We can't let the average citizens get caught up in the fighting more than they are, right? Katsu: I know that! Egga: ...in any case, you guys are all gonna die here. So spend your last moments like a soldier should! [Resume battle] [Egga defeated] Egga: Argh! What's wrong, Grandcher! [Yuu vs Jonathan] Jonathan: What can you do with that incompleted Brain Powered! Yuu: Jonathan Glen! Jonathan: Diiiiieeee--!! [Hime vs Jonathan] Hime: You guys! Don't know know lots of people live here!? Jonathan: All that's just a cover for GGG!! [Jonathan defeated] Yuu: Jonathan Glen! Pass this along to Sis and Dad and Mom! Submitting to Orphan is absolutely unjust! Wiping out humanity, making the Earth into a dead planet, I absolutely won't allow it!! Jonathan: Yuuuu!! Yuu: Pass along what I just told you! Go-!! Jonathan: Uwaa-! Damned Yuu!! Yuu: Pass it on! That's why I won't finish you! Jonathan: Y, Yuu... made me into his messenger boy!? That's why he let me escape!? (Any remaining Orphan units retreat) Midori: Professor Daimonji, the Grandcher reinforcements have withdrawn. Daimonji: Alright... send the recall order to all units. Midori: W, wait a moment please! A new enemy is approaching!! Daimonji: !! (Bharm units appear) Kazuya: Those're...!? Zengar: The Bharm army...! (Transmission sound) Halleck: Can you hear me, Kazuya Ryuuzaki! Kazuya: You know my name!? Who are you!? Halleck: My name is Garney Halleck! As a Bharmian martial arts master, I've come to challenge you to a duel! Kazuya: A duel!? Halleck: A one-on-one match for the pride of our home planets. How about it, will you accept this challenge!? Kazuya: ..... [First Option: I'll accept that challenge!] Kazuya: Fine then...! I'll accept that challenge! Pete: Stop, Kazuya! It's obviously an enemy trap! I won't let you act arbitrarily! Kazuya: The spirit of this man called Halleck is the genuine article. To turn my back here would shame me as an Earthling... no, as a man! Halleck: Alright...! We'll duel where no one else can interfere, Kazuya Ryuuzaki! Kazuya: Just the way I want it! (Both units move) Halleck: So you came, Kazuya Ryuuzaki. I thank you for accepting my challenge. Kazuya: ...no need to thank me. Since I'll defeat you here...! Halleck: Heh... I'll turn those words back on you. Let's go, Ryuuzaki! Kazuya: Coem on, Halleck! Liza: As per Richter-sama's strategy, Daimos is distracted with Halleck. Remaining units, attack them! (Even still, that Belgan... taking a different course from ours, what is he planning?) [Resume combat] [Kazuya vs Halleck 1] Halleck: It seems you're more than I expected! A man well-suited to being my opponent! Kazuya: I should be saying the same thing! Feel the force of my karate! [Kazuya vs Halleck 2] Kazuya: Just what I'd expect, Halleck...! To fight on equal terms and match my karate! Halleck: Fufufu... it's been a long time since an opponent has given me such an exciting battle. To encounter a true warrior such as yourself by chance must have been the will of the God of War... Kazuya: Halleck... Halleck: However, we're still enemies...! Let's settle this, Ryuuzaki! Kazuya: Right! [Pete vs Liza] Pete: Damned aliens! We won't let you get away with what you want on the Earth! Liza: Silence! For the sake of our one billion Bharmians, and for Richter-sama's sake, I cannot lose this battle! [If anyone other than Kazuya attacks Halleck] Halleck: Outta the way! Don't interfere in my fight with Ryuuzaki! [Liza defeated] Liza: Oh no! So battling beyond this is impossible! [Halleck defeated] Halleck: Well done... Ryuuzaki...! To defeat even me...! But, you still have a ways to go! Liza: The operation failed! All units, pull back! Pete: Damned aliens, turning tail are you!? Daikumaryu, full spead ahead! Midori: Hold on, Pete-kun! A large ship is coming from the ocean! Pete: What!? (Skull Rook appears) Liza: That Skull Rook... Do Belgan!? (Explosion) Kazuya: Ngh-! Halleck: Stop! This duel is my loss! I won't allow you to lay a finger on Ryuuzaki, the victor! Belgan: How naive, Halleck! Battles are about winning! Daimos is worn out from fighting you. There is no better chance than now to beat him! Halleck: Why you...! You coward who mocks the heart of a warrior! Belgan: Be silent! If you're going to interfere, I'll deal with you after Daimos! As a traitor! Kazuya: Damnit...! Halleck: Ryuuzaki! (Combat sequence) Halleck: Uwoooo--! Kazuya: Halleck! Belgan: Are you out of your mind! Covering the enemy! Halleck: R... Ryuuzaki and I had a man-to-man duel! It's something a cowardly weakling like you couldn't comprehend! Kazuya: Halleck...! Belgan: Such nonsense! Then, I'll send you both to that world! Halleck: Ryuuzaki... I won't allow you to be killed! Belgan: What do you plan on doing!? (Explosion) Kazuya: Halleck! Belgan: I... impossible...! Tackling the Skull Rook is... argh! Withdraw! (Remaining enemies retreat) Kazuya: Halleck... Kenichi: That man called Halleck... He protected that duel with Kazuya up until the very last... Sanshiro: Even for an enemy, what an admirable guy... Kazuya: Halleck... You are a brave warrior... A true Samurai... Hm...? That's...!? Halleck: Kh... I somehow managed to eject, huh... Kazuya: Hold on! Are you Halleck...? Halleck: Indeed. So, you must be Kazuya Ryuuzaki... Kazuya: That's right... Halleck: ...I am a Bharmian... the enemy of you Earthlings. As a captive, kill me if you like... Kazuya: No... I have no intention of that. You placed your trust in our fight. Besides, I have to thank you for risking your life for me. Halleck: Fufufu... It was simply brethren looking out for one another. I don't plan to decieve you. Kazuya: Halleck... Kyoshiro: Oooii, Kazuya! Where are you-!? (Footsteps) Halleck: It looks like your friends have come for you... Kazuya: Crap...! Halleck, let me handle this, you get outta here! Halleck: Are you saying you'll let me, the enemy, escape? Kazuya: A few minor obstacles interfered with our duel... But, next time we meet we'll settle it...! Halleck: Ryuuzaki... Kazuya: Take some time off to heal your wounds until then! Halleck: (What a pure-hearted man... I can see, if it's this man, how Erika-sama could be attracted to him...) ...thanks, Ryuuzaki. I'll definitely return this favor. Kazuya: Halleck... I'll look forward to the next fight... Pete: Kazuya! Wasn't the Bharmian here!? Kazuya: Yeah... the Bharmian soldier whom I fought with, Halleck, was here. Pete: Why you! You let an enemy alien escape from under your own nose!? Kazuya: Halleck saved my life. I can't treat that man as an enemy. Besides, that man's a proud soldier. He'd sooner kill himself than give out any information. Pete: Wake up, Kazuya! Opening your heart to the enemy, the aliens, is over-idealistic! Thanks to that, who knows how much damage was done with the Mars ordeal... You must be aware of that oo! Kazuya: It's true that my father was killed by a Bharmian. But, I don't think they're all bad. Pete: What...!? Don't tell me, you're still pining over Erika...!? Kazuya: ...yeah. Pete: You bastard...! Just like with Erika, you gambled your emotions with that last Bharmian!? Sanshiro: Hey, knock it off, Pete. Kazuya and Halleck fought one-on-one. We can't understand what went on there. Pete: Quit spewing out irresponsible crap! Have you still not woken up as a soldier which protects the Earth? Sanshiro: I have! Since long before you said anything! Pete: ! Sanshiro: But, your way of thinking, that because they're aliens they'll all be enemies, isn't that wrong? Pete: What...!? Sanshiro: That makes us no different from indescriminately attacking aliens. Pete: ....! ...whatever you want to say, it's too late now. I'll report this matter to Professor Daimonji. Kazuya: Do as you like. I don't think I'm in the wrong...! Nana: ...Oniichan... Fan Lee: ...they all have sound arguements. But, consequently, they've been driven apart... Bunta: That's true... Nana: ..... JAPAN AREA, G ISLAND CITY Judau: That was tough work, Hime-san. I didn't know Brains had that much power. Hime: It's thanks to this child's stubborn will. Hime Brain: ..... Judau: Good job out there, Hime Brain. Hime Brain: ..... Hime: Aha! It looks like this kid likes you, Judau. Ippei: Well, this guy's a little weird, so there's some likeable qualities to that. Judau: Ah, that's mean to say. Ippei: By the way, where's that Yuu Isami guy go off to? Hime: He and that Kanan lady were asked to go to Novis Noah. Captain Anore has some questions. Judau: He seems somehow reserved. Kinda like the old Camille-san. Hime: More like just nervous. Camille: ...I heard that. Judau: Geh! Camille-san, what're you doing here!? Camille: I should be the one asking that. The repair crew was looking for you. Judau: Crap! They found out I was skipping out. Camille: Honestly... After that, go talk to Captain Amuro. Judau: Take it easy on me, Camille-san! I was helping out with Zeta's repairs this time! Hime: ..... (...Yuu Isami... I wonder if you're okay...?) Irene: ...from the results of the physical, there are no problems with Yuu Isami's body. It seems even his DNA hasn't had any alterations. Anore: Understood. Komodo: Isami, isn't that a familiar name in relation to the Reclaimers? Yuu: ..... Komodo: How come you came here? Anore: Komodo, I'll be the one asking the questions. Komodo: Ah... Yes ma'am. Anore: Yuu Isami... I do not entirely trust you and Kanan Gimos. Yuu: ...probably not, no. Anore: For what reason did you betray the Reclaimers? Yuu: ...Orphan has already begun to emerge. You all must already know that when it surfaces, mankind won't stand a chance. Anore: Of course. That's what Novis Noah is here for. Yuu: But, the Reclaimers still don't have sufficient battle power. And so, it's a fact that they're trying to tie your and GGG's and the Federation's hands. Anore: ...you seem to have a good grasp of our situation. Yuu: The general information is that they have Orphan. But there's also the fact that aliens appeared again, and Neo Zeon and the Jupiterians have begun to act. Irene: (...is there a spy on board...? No, I'm over-thinking things.) Komodo: You sure do talk an awful lot... There's no way you can expect to seriously hinder Orphan by fleeing it with one Brain! Yuu: ...Novis Noah is a ship made for survival. It just drifts around the Earth's oceans. But, Orphan is different... Komodo: !? Yuu: Orphan is a great ship which travels the galaxy. Hyuuma: ...so, what's the deal with that Yuu Isami guy? Mikoto: From Captain Anore's report, he's cooperating with us. Hyuuma: Hoh... obedient, huh. He sure didn't look that way. Leo: Fufufu... that might be thanks to Utsumiya-kun. That child seems to be one others stick close to. Taiga: By the way, Professor... about Hyoryu and Enryu? Leo: Same as Gaogaigar, they need readjustments. They had to deal with plenty of things more hazardous than Symmetrical Docking. Taiga: Then please hurry with the repair work. Daimonji: ...so, Yuu Isami-kun is also joining the Alpha Numbers? Gaybridge: Yes. Novis Noah is a ship constructed to oppose the Reclaimers... Its primary mission is to investigate Orphan. Considering what's going on now, isn't that more beneficial? Daimonji: It's as you say, but with that, your own fighting capability will be reduced... Gaybridge: We're not concerned with that. As previously stated, during the quiet interim, the Reclaimers are not targeting Novis Noah. Daimonji: ..... Gaybridge: So Novis Noah will continue its investigation into Orphan. Take care of Hime-kun and the others. Daimonji: I understand... Yuu: ...your body okay? Kanan... Kanan: I'm sorry to make you worry. The rejection was worse than I thought... Yuu: Take it easy here for a while. You don't have to return to Orphan or pilot an Antibody anymore. Kanan: ...Yuu, you're... fine with that? Yuu: Whatever's fine or not, I've freed myself from Orphan after all. Kanan: I knew that you would leave those parents of yours when you seized hold of your own self-awareness, but... But, Orphan's goal is... Yuu: I know what Orphan's goal is. It's to make everybody into its servants. ...you saw my sister and Dad, right? Kanan: But still, that was the only place I found which gave me peace of mind. When I'm anywhere else, I can't help but feel uneasy... Yuu: Isn't that your mother's uneasiness? Kanan, you have your own will, you should live as Kanan. Kanan: It's not like I can just do that... Yuu: You can. Because I thought that way, I left. Kanan: There's probably no place for me to live outside of Orphan... Yuu: Just search for it from here on. Kanan: ..... Yuu: The Reclaimers might be all you have in your genes and memories, but... In that case, why is our generation being weighed down? Kanan: Isn't Orphan there to correct that mistake? Yuu: Wrong! Orphan's like... well, for the time being, a spell. Kanan: A spell...? Yuu: Kanan, can't you see that now that you're detached from Orphan? Kanan: Yuu... I don't know what's right... I just... Yuu: It's right, you just couldn't think that it was right before. That's the meaning of what's weighing our generation down. Kanan: So there's no need to heal my wounds, just to replace everything about me regarding my mother...? Yuu: That could be the case too, but... I'm very happy right now. Just to live without having to fight you, Kanan. Kanan: Ah...! That's true... That's true for me too... Yuu...! Kumazo: W, well? Akari: Yeah... they look okay. Let's go back to where Hime-chan is! Rasse: Hm? What are those two doing... Nanga: Who knows. Probably spying on Yuu and Kanan. Rasse: There's talk of that woman chasing after a younger boy, but? Nanga: That cheap-looking woman? Rasse: True. She's not that kind of woman. Nanga: Did you fall in love? Rasse: No way. Hime: ...hm~m. About Yuu and Kanan-san. Akari: Were those two maybe girlfriend and boyfriend? Kumazo: Were they! Hime: That's not something you should go around talking about! Yukio: ...hey, Kenta. Tell me more about far away lands. Kenta: Okay, how about when I went with the Good Thunder into the Congo? Puru: How fun. I wanna travel the world with Judau and Rina and the others. Toppo: I have. Everywhere from alternate dimensions back to the solar system. Puru: No, no! I wanna go and play! Kumazo: I wanna go! Hachiro: Then let's all pick where we want to go. Akari: I wanna go to Waterpolis! Yukio: High-Tech Land for me! Kenta: Definitely Fantasy Land. Right, Irui? Irui: ...I don't know where anything is, so... Wherever everybody else is... OVA: Yes, yes. Please discuss your destinations after you've finished your studies. Kenta: Eh~!? I don't wanna study! Puru: Th, then, I um... I'm gonna check on Quebeley in the hangar. OVA: You can't. Judau-san entrusted you with me to act as a tutor, Puru-san. Puru: Eeh~!? Hime: So, OVA. Take care of looking after the kids, okay? OVA: Yes, please leave it to me. Sayaka: Irui-chan... she's really opened up to everyone, hasn't she. Nana: Looks that way. Hime: But, there's still something bothering me a little. Emma: What is it? Hime: It looked like Irui-chan knew the enemies were coming. Nana: Eh...? Emma: Really? Hime: Yeah. Emma: Do you think she has good perception... or some kind of special power? Sayaka: Who knows... Nana: ...it's true that she's a child with a mysterious kind of atmosphere around her, but... Hime: ..... PACIFIC OCEAN, ORPHAN Quincy: Yuu must be telling Novis Noah and GGG all about Orphan's weak points by now... It's only natural we should strengthen our Grandcher squads for the sake of our own defense! Kensaku: When Orphan surfaces, Novis Noah and GGG... and all the underground forces besides them won't pose any problems. Quincy: Even though Yuu didn't become a Grandcher antibody, he knows about Orphan. Kensaku: That is your younger brother! Will you really beat him!? Quincy: Outsiders have to be eliminated! What will happen if Yuu gets his hands on the B-Plate!? Kensaku: The matter of the influence and existence of the B-Plate is still only an assumption, Iiko...! Quincy: There is no Iiko here...! I am Quincy Issa. Jonathan: (Orphan isn't the possession of the Isami family. They should learn that too...) (But, to pay that Yuu guy back for what he did... the Grandcher squads need strengthening.) PACIFIC OCEAN, UNDERWATER FORTRESS Liza: Sir Belgan! Just what were you planning by showing up so abruptly!? Belgan: Just as you observed. To defeat Daimos after it was exhausted from fighting Halleck. Liza: But, for an ally to interfere with Halleck is... Belgan: Did you not also wish to do so? Halleck was offered your position as adjutant... Liza: Sir Belgan...! Belgan: Fufu... your face is beautiful even when angry... Giving such a heated glare to Admiral Richter would suit you far better. Liza: Why you... Do you mock me! Richter: Both of you desist! If you have the time to argue, then spend it thinking of our next operation! Belgan: As you say... Liza: ..... (Footsteps sound) Barbas: Begging your pardon, Richter-sama! Halleck has returned to the underwater fortress! Belgan: Hohoh... while it's surprising enough he survived that explosion, to escape enemy territory undiscovered is all the more surprising... Richter: Barbas! Summon Halleck immediately! Barbas: Yessir...! (Footsteps) Richter: Oh, Halleck...! You returned intact...! Halleck: My humblest apologies, Richter-sama... Please forgive me for returning without fulfilling my promise... Richter: What are you saying... I heard the battle report from Liza. Of course, I'll ignore the matter with Belgan. You will take Kazuya Ryuuzaki's head with the next machine. Get some rest for now. Halleck: I thank you for your kind words... but first I have a favor to ask of you, Richter-sama. Richter: ...very well. Name it... Halleck: ...please somehow bring a stop to this war with the Earthlings. Richter: Wh... what did you say...!? Halleck: The Earthlings are not simply opponents to pass through. Somehow... please try to negotiate with them... Richter: You jest! (Punching sound) Richter: Ask that favor once more! Halleck: N... no matter how many times... Admiral, your Excellency... somehow, try to meet with the Earthlings and talk things over peacefully... Hating, killing them won't accomplish anything... Richter: Meet and talk, you say...!? At the last meeting, my father was killed! Knowing that, you still have the nerve to ask!? Halleck: Earthlings aren't all like that. Even Kazuya Ryuuzaki is... Richter: What...!? Halleck: For Erika-sama to lose her heart to him is only natural. He's just that kind of man. Richter: Halleck... even you...! You... swine! (Punching sound) Halleck: U... kh.... Richter: Take this traitor to prison! Do not speak this man's name in my presence again...! It defiles it! Halleck: Admiral... your Excellency... Erika: (Who knows how many days have passed since I was put in this prison cell...) (Kazuya... I wonder how you're doing... are you well...?) (Knocking sound) Who is it...!? Halleck: I beg your pardon, Erika-sama... I am Garney Halleck, the martial arts master... Erika: Halleck...? You trained my brother, why are you in prison...? Halleck: It's a long story. But, I'll pass this much on... I met with Kazuya Ryuuzaki... Erika: With Kazuya...!? Is Kazuya... is that person alright? Halleck: Yes... That man is the strongest man I have ever met... He wouldn't be defeated so easily. Erika: Ah... Kazuya... Halleck: I was thinking. If there are people like that man among the Earthlings, this fighting shouldn't continue... Erika: Exactly, Halleck... But right now, trapped as I am... there's nothing that can be done... Halleck: ...I owe Kazuya Ryuuzaki a great debt. To pay that back, I'll definitely take you to that man, Erika-sama. So please do not give up hope. Erika: I understand, Halleck... Until that day, I'll continue to pray for that person's safety...
