[00:04] ---
    This is what started it all.
[00:07] ---
    Thank you very much, Inaho.
[00:12] ---
    I'm given to understand that it's
    you whom I owe my life to.
[00:15] ---
    No, it's because
    we're in a war.
[00:18] ---
    How many times
    does this make it?
[00:22] ---
    I'm not sure. And I wouldn't
    say that I've saved it.
[00:26] ---
    This is a war, after all.
[00:30] ---
    You're a kind person, aren't you?
[00:33] ---
    You are.
[00:37] ---
    After all this is over...
[00:39] ---
    We will remain friends
    after all this is over, won't we?
[00:45] ---
    Yes.
[00:47] ---
    I'm glad.
[00:53] ---
    I am Asseylum Vers Allusia.
[00:56] ---
    I am the Princess Royal,
    granddaughter of
[00:58] ---
    Rayregalia Vers Rayvers,
    Emperor of Vers.
[01:03] ---
    I address the people
    of Father Vers.
[01:05] ---
    I call for an immediate cessation of
    hostilities in this meaningless war.
[01:09] ---
    I am safe.
    Alive and well.
[01:12] ---
    It is not Terrans who made
    an attempt on my life.
[01:16] ---
    It was a plot by the Orbital Knights, who have
    their sights set on an invasion of Earth.
[01:19] ---
    The Terrans are innocent.
[01:22] ---
    Stop the fighting immediately.
[01:24] ---
    And then make peace with Earth.
[01:28] ---
    I beg you, put a stop
    to this tragedy.
[01:37] ---
    This is the Tharsis!
[01:39] ---
    I retrieved it
    from Castle Cruhteo.
[01:43] ---
    He was unworthy of it.
[01:47] ---
    Its Aldnoah drive
    is powered down...
[01:50] ---
    Which means that
    Count Cruhteo truly is...
[01:53] ---
    Princess Asseylum's location
    has been pinpointed
[01:56] ---
    via laser transmission
    to the Moon base.
[01:59] ---
    The Moon base is under the control
    of those who feel as I do.
[02:03] ---
    Her Highness' proclamation
    will reach no one's ears.
[02:07] ---
    The final battle is about to take place
    at the enemy's main stronghold.
[02:11] ---
    Even with the full might of a Landing
    Castle, it will be no easy feat.
[02:17] ---
    My debt to your father is paid.
[02:21] ---
    You may join my forces
    or you may flee to Earth.
[02:25] ---
    Do as you will.
[02:36] ---
    Mars Knight Landing Castle descending!
[02:39] ---
    Projected touchdown point,
    within a 20km radius of United Earth HQ!
[02:44] ---
    So, they aren't the least
    bit interested in peace.
[02:48] ---
    Abandon surface installations!
    All personnel, evacuate underground!
[03:02] ---
    I have to say, I didn't expect them
    to make a direct move on this place.
[03:06] ---
    I thought the war was
    supposed to end!
[03:09] ---
    Milady...
[04:57] ---
    An act of futility.
[04:59] ---
    Commencing attack.
[05:08] ---
    Enemy missile impacts!
    They're bunker busters!
[05:12] ---
    Bedrock has been perforated! Warheads
    descending towards base complex!
[05:24] ---
    Sally forth!
[05:33] ---
    Sky carrier, launch!
[05:38] ---
    Missile impacts and shield
    penetration in 18 locations!
[05:41] ---
    Vibrations believed to be enemy
    mechanized force now descending!
[05:44] ---
    Kataphrakt platoons, get all
    your units launched ASAP!
[05:47] ---
    Shire Platoon, in position!
[05:49] ---
    Falabella Platoon, in position!
[05:51] ---
    Vibration source still closing in.
    59 seconds to enemy contact.
[05:54] ---
    All units, prepare to engage!
[05:56] ---
    Roger!
[05:57] ---
    Here they come!
[05:59] ---
    Annihilate them, my faithful servants!
[06:11] ---
    It's an enemy Kataphrakt assault!
[06:14] ---
    Intercept team attrition rate, 50%!
[06:45] ---
    All advance!
[06:47] ---
    Search for Princess Asseylum
    and terminate on sight!
[06:58] ---
    Milady, it's dangerous here.
    I suggest we relocate at once.
[07:02] ---
    I've revealed that my assassination
    was a lie, so why are they still...
[07:08] ---
    Milady...
[07:09] ---
    War truly was their objective all along.
    The assassination was merely an excuse.
[07:15] ---
    It never mattered one whit
    if I was alive or dead...
[07:20] ---
    That is not true at all! You are
    the beloved princess of Vers!
[07:24] ---
    Why, then, is this place
    presently under attack?!
[07:32] ---
    Forgive me.
[07:34] ---
    Not at all.
[07:36] ---
    Is there no one left who can put an
    end to the Orbital Knights' folly?
[07:42] ---
    Is there nothing more
    that I can do?
[07:46] ---
    Milady...
[07:50] ---
    Munitions loading 70% complete!
[07:53] ---
    Launching a frontal assault
    against United Earth HQ...
[07:56] ---
    It'll be hard to hold negotiations
    if the government collapses.
[08:00] ---
    They have no intention
    of negotiating.
[08:03] ---
    Invade a territory with overwhelming force
    and lay claim to it as their own.
[08:07] ---
    There will be no one to denounce them
    over it, and no international law.
[08:10] ---
    This is primitive, pure war that dates back
    to before the industrial revolution.
[08:18] ---
    Have you gotten through
    to the princess?
[08:20] ---
    No, ma'am. I'm paging the leader
    of her security detail, though.
[08:24] ---
    All pilots, stand by in your Kats!
    Be ready to move out at a moment's notice!
[08:28] ---
    Warrant Officer Kaizuka,
    is the Deucalion leaving?
[08:31] ---
    Beats me. This might turn into
    a defensive action.
[08:36] ---
    This is Mustang Leader.
[08:41] ---
    Nao, you've got a phone call.
[08:43] ---
    Mustang 22.
[08:45] ---
    I shall help, too.
[08:47] ---
    Seylum...
[08:48] ---
    All Vers weaponry is powered
    by Aldnoah drives.
[08:53] ---
    Landing Castles are no exception.
[08:55] ---
    If its Aldnoah drive is shut down,
    the Landing Castle will cease to function.
[09:01] ---
    How would we do that?
[09:03] ---
    If the person who activated the drive loses
    his life, it will automatically shut down.
[09:09] ---
    Ah, just like how the Deucalion fell out of
    the sky when you went into cardiac arrest.
[09:15] ---
    Yes. Also, one of the Vers emperor's bloodline
    would be able to forcibly shut it down.
[09:22] ---
    In other words... you are saying
     that you can shut it down.
[09:27] ---
    Yes.
[09:29] ---
    Understood. I'll escort you
    to the enemy Landing Castle.
[09:33] ---
    Hold your horses, Nao!
[09:35] ---
    Why are you always
    pulling this crap?!
[09:37] ---
    What crap?
[09:38] ---
    You know what crap! The way you say insane
    things with a perfectly straight face!
[09:43] ---
    Now that we know she is unable to negotiate
    politically, her presence is of no benefit.
[09:49] ---
    But if she is of tactical use,
    we should make use of her.
[09:53] ---
    If we lose, they're just going
    to kill her, anyway.
[09:57] ---
    It's the logical decision.
[09:58] ---
    Logic is all it has going for it! How many
    lives do you think that would cost?!
[10:02] ---
    If we do nothing,
    just as many will die.
[10:05] ---
    And that makes it okay
    to pull this crazy crap?
[10:08] ---
    This is war.
[10:09] ---
    My point exactly!
[10:13] ---
    Sorry, Yuki. But I think we should bet on
    the method with the best odds of success.
[10:19] ---
    That's all it is.
[10:21] ---
    I agree with his assessment.
SIGN    Nao, do your best!
[10:27] ---
    All right, Highness.
    I'll run it past the Captain.
[10:31] ---
    Thank you.
[10:40] ---
    Milady?
[10:42] ---
    The princess of the Vers Empire
    has turned her people against her...
[10:47] ---
    This war is not the will of Vers. It is all
    a scheme by a bunch of traitors!
[10:53] ---
    No.
[10:56] ---
    The responsibility
    is mine alone.
[10:59] ---
    I am to blame.
[11:06] ---
    Let us hurry.
[11:14] ---
    Message from the Lord! "Ship located
    in underground enemy base.
[11:17] ---
    Her Highness may be aboard.
    All troops, proceed there at once!"
[11:22] ---
    Hey! That one hasn't
    been rearm-
[11:46] ---
    Aldnoah drive, output stable.
    Ready to lift off at your command.
[11:50] ---
    Princess Asseylum?
[11:51] ---
    Currently on level 4!
    Will arrive momentarily!
[11:58] ---
    Port gun turret #1 hit!
[12:00] ---
    Enemy infantry, ma'am.
[12:02] ---
    Engage them, please.
[12:06] ---
    What Kats do we have ready?!
[12:07] ---
    They're all secured in their racks!
[12:09] ---
    Send them out!
[12:11] ---
    It'll take time!
[12:20] ---
    Princess Asseylum!
[12:22] ---
    The exit!
[12:26] ---
    I see it!
[12:28] ---
    There's the Deucalion!
[12:32] ---
    Enemy infantry on starboard stabilizer!
[12:34] ---
    Spin the ship.
[12:35] ---
    Ma'am?
[12:36] ---
    Pivot the ship in place and don't
    let any enemy troops aboard!
[12:38] ---
    Deucalion, coming about!
[12:46] ---
    There she is!
    It's the princess!
[12:48] ---
    Open hatch!
    Bring her aboard!
[12:51] ---
    It's Princess Asseylum!
[12:53] ---
    Rocket launchers!
[12:54] ---
    Objective located! Currently attacking
    in underground dry dock!
[12:57] ---
    I repeat, objective located!
[13:01] ---
    Fire!
[13:05] ---
    I'm not scared, I'm not scared,
    I'm not scared!
[13:14] ---
    You alive?
[13:17] ---
    Keep the pedal floored.
    I'll cover you.
[13:19] ---
    Rayet!
[13:31] ---
    Come on, come on, come on,
    come on, come on!
[13:33] ---
    Princess! Over here!
[13:37] ---
    A little closer!
[13:40] ---
    Go!
[13:42] ---
    Eddelrittuo!
[13:43] ---
    Go! Hurry!
[13:46] ---
    Seal hatch!
[13:47] ---
    Roger!
[13:52] ---
    Thank you, Eddelrittuo...
[13:58] ---
    Her Highness is aboard!
[14:01] ---
    Deucalion, lift off.
[14:03] ---
    Control, please open the gate.
[14:07] ---
    Control. This is Deucalion.
[14:09] ---
    Please respond.
[14:13] ---
    Captain...
[14:15] ---
    Tubes 1 through 4,
    prepare to fire missiles.
[14:19] ---
    Set target, main gate!
[14:24] ---
    Launch tubes open.
    Ready to fire.
[14:28] ---
    Fire!
[14:49] ---
    The ship from the island!
[15:00] ---
    Back it up.
    Go back to the dock.
[15:07] ---
    I'll hold them off here.
[15:19] ---
    The mission is as follows.
[15:21] ---
    The Deucalion will evade the
    Landing Castle's attacks
[15:25] ---
    and temporarily climb
    into the stratosphere.
[15:27] ---
    We will then carry out a Kataphrakt
    combat drop from above.
[15:31] ---
    That's insane! We won't be able
    to hide while we're falling!
[15:34] ---
    We'll be eaten alive by AA fire!
[15:36] ---
    Which is why we will drop unmanned,
    decoy Kataphrakts first.
[15:40] ---
    The main assault force will fall
    through the jumble of decoys
[15:44] ---
    and aim for the Landing Castle.
[15:50] ---
    Altitude of 20,000 meters achieved.
    Turning over!
[15:56] ---
    Drop Scarecrows!
[16:01] ---
    The decoys might not work! And we don't
    know what kind of firepower they have!
[16:05] ---
    We've gone blind into
    every engagement so far.
[16:08] ---
    But still!
[16:09] ---
    Once down, the assault team will
    destroy the enemy's AA guns,
[16:13] ---
    and when their counterattack weakens,
    we ask Princess Asseylum to come.
[16:19] ---
    Lt. Marito.
[16:21] ---
    See to the assault team selection.
[16:26] ---
    Understood.
[16:27] ---
    I'll go in the first wave.
[16:29] ---
    Nao!
[16:31] ---
    I probably have more experience fighting
    Martian weaponry than anyone on Earth.
[16:36] ---
    Multiple radar returns overhead!
[16:38] ---
    Anti-air warfare.
    Will intercept.
[16:50] ---
    Decoy Kataphrakts hit!
    Releasing chaff and flares!
[16:53] ---
    Assault team, launch.
[16:55] ---
    Mustang Leader to all units. In addition
    to poor laser comms due to the blizzard,
[16:59] ---
    their jamming will get
    stronger near the castle.
[17:02] ---
    Don't count on instructions until
    we're down. Fight independently.
[17:06] ---
    Mustang 11, roger.
[17:07] ---
    Mustang 22, roger.
[17:09] ---
    Mustang 33, roger.
[17:12] ---
    Mustang 44, roger.
[17:14] ---
    Drop!
[17:29] ---
    Please don't let them hit me, please don't let
    them hit me, please don't let them hit me...
[17:33] ---
    When you're that scared,
    you're more likely to get hit!
[17:37] ---
    Bullets are attracted to cowardice!
    Be confident, and the bullets will run from
[17:44] ---
    Mustang 33!
[17:59] ---
    Use my orange color
    to guide you in.
[18:01] ---
    Nao, that's too fast!
[18:05] ---
    I'll drop using the decoys as a shield,
    and right after the objective leaves the clouds,
[18:09] ---
    I'll fall until the very last second
    and then decelerate.
[18:23] ---
    Objective sighted.
[18:30] ---
    Enemy Kataphrakt approaching!
[18:57] ---
    Mustang 22, drop zone secured.
[19:00] ---
    Mustang 22, I have eyes on you.
    Approaching.
[19:03] ---
    Don't do anything stupid, Nao!
[19:05] ---
    The more I thinned out their AA guns,
    the easier it would be for the stragglers.
[19:09] ---
    Hey, wait! Are you saying
    you did it to help me?!
[19:13] ---
    This isn't right.
    Comms are too clear.
[19:18] ---
    Sorry this isn't first class, Princess!
[19:22] ---
    Please don't go to
    any trouble over me.
[19:23] ---
    Control to Princess 1.
    Stand by in drop position.
[19:26] ---
    Roger. Princess 1,
    proceeding to drop position.
[19:37] ---
    Whatever happens, protect your
    fellow passenger. At any cost.
[19:40] ---
    Even your life.
[19:44] ---
    Princess 1, prepare for drop.
[19:46] ---
    Princess 1, ready for drop.
[19:50] ---
    Princess 1, drop!
[19:52] ---
    Princess 1, dro-
[19:57] ---
    Enemy attack!
[19:59] ---
    What happened?!
[20:04] ---
    That can't be right...
    There's nothing on radar!
[20:06] ---
    Anti-air warfare!
[20:08] ---
    Protect the Deucalion!
[20:19] ---
    The Deucalion...
[20:21] ---
    They transplanted the Aldnoah
    from the other machine,
[20:24] ---
    but with Orlane dead,
    they could not activate it...
[20:28] ---
    So, it was Princess Asseylum
    who activated it, then.
[20:34] ---
    Accursed ship!
[20:41] ---
    Mustang 44!
[20:49] ---
    Son of a bitch!
[20:53] ---
    Damage report...
[20:56] ---
    Starboard side, antigravity devices
    2 through 7 offline...
[21:01] ---
    We are losing altitude...
[21:04] ---
    Funnel all our energy
    into propulsion!
[21:09] ---
    Set course for...
[21:12] ---
    ...enemy Landing Castle!
[21:14] ---
    We'll board the damn thing
    with this ship!
[21:19] ---
    Where's Seylum?!
[21:20] ---
    I haven't gotten the signal yet!
[21:23] ---
    Warrant Officer Kaizuka!
    Three o'clock!
[21:28] ---
    That's... the Deucalion?
[21:40] ---
    All units, scatter!
