**[01:41] ---**
The Deucalion?
Why would they...
**[01:45] ---**
They had no choice but to
make a frontal assault?
**[01:47] ---**
Control! This is Mustang Leader!
**[01:50] ---**
Please respond!
**[01:57] ---**
Princess 1!
**[02:14] ---**
Highness!
**[02:23] ---**
Princess Asseylum confirmed alive!
**[02:26] ---**
*Control to Mustang Platoon,
do you copy?*
**[02:30] ---**
Lt. Marito!
**[02:32] ---**
*Amifumi?*
**[02:33] ---**
*Is the Deucalion okay?
Is everyone on the bridge okay?*
**[02:36] ---**
*What about Nina and Calm?
Are they okay?*
**[02:39] ---**
*Somehow.*
**[02:42] ---**
Well, maybe "We're all okay"
isn't quite honest...
**[02:47] ---**
This might be more of a "Don't worry,
go on without us!" kind of situation.
**[02:53] ---**
Inko, sorry...
**[02:56] ---**
*Warrant Officer Kaizuka...
Princess 1, continue your mission.*
**[03:02] ---**
*Can you do that?*
**[03:05] ---**
Yes, ma'am!
**[03:09] ---**
*Amifumi. Kaizuka Junior. I want you
to cover Warrant Officer Kaizuka.*
**[03:15] ---**
*Acknowledged.*
**[03:15] ---**
Roger that.
**[03:22] ---**
Warrant Officer Kaizuka taking over
as pilot. Princess 1, continuing mission.
**[03:33] ---**
Kick their asses for us!
**[03:36] ---**
Mustang 22, roger!
**[03:46] ---**
You awake?
**[03:48] ---**
This is going to get a little rough.
Hold on tight, Highness.
**[03:51] ---**
You are... Inaho's older sister?
**[03:54] ---**
You didn't seem to be hurt,
but if I missed something, speak up.
**[04:00] ---**
Why...?
**[04:06] ---**
You hate us... Don't you?
**[04:10] ---**
The Versians who did this to Earth
and took so many lives...
**[04:16] ---**
You hate us, don't you?
**[04:21] ---**
*Seylum.*
**[04:23] ---**
*What does it take
to end a war?*
**[04:26] ---**
*Do you know?*
**[04:27] ---**
Well, if both sides wish for peace
and set aside their hatred...
**[04:33] ---**
*No.*
**[04:35] ---**
Warfare is nothing but a means
of negotiation between states.
**[04:38] ---**
Wars break out even when
there is no hatred.
**[04:41] ---**
*Territory, resources, or interests
that you are determined to own.*
**[04:45] ---**
*Ideology, religion, pride.*
**[04:47] ---**
*Wars are fought over those
objectives all the time.*
**[04:50] ---**
*Meaning that when those objectives
are met, the war will end.*
**[04:56] ---**
*That, or...*
**[04:57] ---**
*...the war will end when the
human cost outweighs the gains.*
**[05:02] ---**
*Anger and hatred, those are nothing more
than tools to tilt a war in your favor.*
**[05:08] ---**
*I'm not interested in
those emotions.*
**[05:11] ---**
Inaho...
**[05:13] ---**
So I wouldn't hate anyone
just because they're Martian.
**[05:24] ---**
*Oh? I would gladly hate
a Terran for that fact alone.*
**[05:29] ---**
All units, scatter!
**[05:41] ---**
*Saazbaum of the Vers Orbital Knights'
37 Clans has arrived.*
**[05:47] ---**
Please make your peace,
Your Highness.
**[05:50] ---**
Count Saazbaum? It was you?!
**[05:53] ---**
How did he tap
our encrypted comms?
**[05:55] ---**
All units, restrict further
communications to laser comms!
**[05:58] ---**
*Yuki.*
**[06:00] ---**
*Continue the mission. Inko, you
provide support for Yuki.*
**[06:05] ---**
I'll hold him off.
**[06:07] ---**
*Don't be stupid! You don't know
what his combat capability is!*
**[06:10] ---**
*You can't win alone!*
**[06:12] ---**
I don't need to win. I only
need to slow him down.
**[06:15] ---**
*Inaho...!*
**[06:16] ---**
You aren't planning to act
as a human shield, are you?
**[06:18] ---**
*That's an ineffective means
of buying time. Go, hurry.*
**[06:23] ---**
Inaho...
**[06:25] ---**
Good hunting.
**[06:27] ---**
Thanks.
**[06:28] ---**
*Let's go!*
**[06:28] ---**
*Yes, ma'am!*
**[06:32] ---**
Inaho!
**[06:41] ---**
I like your reckless courage,
warrior of Earth.
**[06:44] ---**
But you will have
no mercy from me!
**[06:52] ---**
*Decoys confuse guided missiles.
But unguided rockets are unaffected.*
**[07:08] ---**
Mustang 11, path secured.
**[07:10] ---**
Don't get too full
of yourself, Terran!
**[07:13] ---**
Light of Aldnoah!
**[07:35] ---**
What?
**[07:40] ---**
Milady...
**[07:42] ---**
Give me your strength!
**[08:50] ---**
Behold...
**[08:53] ---**
...the Dioscuria!
**[09:01] ---**
My rounds, they're...
**[09:04] ---**
Dimensional barrier, activated!
**[09:08] ---**
Energy joints, linked.
Field generator, active.
**[09:13] ---**
Blade field, engaged.
**[09:18] ---**
Sword drawn.
**[09:28] ---**
That weapon, it's...
**[09:32] ---**
Is the princess
on that ship? No...
**[09:41] ---**
*This is Oldenburg Leader.*
**[09:43] ---**
*Stand by for assist, Mustang 22.*
**[09:45] ---**
No! Fall back!
**[09:50] ---**
Fools.
**[09:56] ---**
Fly, my servant!
**[10:20] ---**
Count...
**[10:26] ---**
Surrender, Martian!
Put your hands above your head!
**[10:34] ---**
Come on!
**[10:37] ---**
Terran forces have entered the castle!
We need to shore up our defenses!
**[10:41] ---**
You saved me?
**[10:44] ---**
Even though I'm a Terran?
**[10:47] ---**
Who are you fighting against?!
**[10:49] ---**
Who were you pointing
your gun at?!
**[10:53] ---**
I don't see anyone here who
turned his gun on his own!
**[10:56] ---**
So stop asking stupid questions!
**[11:20] ---**
Damn, one of 'em got in...
**[11:21] ---**
It's powering up! Contact the Kataphrakt
platoon inside the castle!
**[11:26] ---**
Auxiliary power system, start.
Will it work?
**[11:31] ---**
No luck, huh?
Its Aldnoah drive is shut down.
**[11:35] ---**
It will never move again without someone
who has been granted activation rights.
**[11:40] ---**
What do I do?
**[11:45] ---**
It- The Aldnoah drive
powered up?
**[11:49] ---**
But how?
**[12:00] ---**
I really wish they'd give it a rest
with those things!
**[12:03] ---**
There is an
inspection passageway.
**[12:05] ---**
It is a detour. It will take us
to the Aldnoah chamber.
**[12:09] ---**
It is not designed for equipment
access, so we will have to
**[12:12] ---**
abandon our Kataphrakts
and proceed on foot.
**[12:14] ---**
Mustang 11!
**[12:15] ---**
Roger!
**[12:21] ---**
Let's move!
**[12:22] ---**
Yes, ma'am!
**[12:24] ---**
Inaho?!
**[12:29] ---**
Princess Asseylum.
**[12:31] ---**
Your life, if you please.
**[12:35] ---**
Count Saazbaum!
**[12:36] ---**
Bastard!
**[12:39] ---**
He has a barrier, too!
**[12:41] ---**
Inko, get out of here.
**[12:43] ---**
Inaho!
**[12:44] ---**
Hurry.
**[12:45] ---**
*No way, I can't just leave you!*
**[12:47] ---**
Don't worry about me, just run!
**[12:49] ---**
*Don't be an idiot!*
**[12:53] ---**
*Dodge it...*
**[12:58] ---**
Mustang 11!
**[13:06] ---**
Like I thought, he has to lower the
barrier when he launches his arms.
**[13:11] ---**
It's because the arm thrusters
interfere with the barrier.
**[13:14] ---**
Hang on... Did you use me
as a decoy?!
**[13:18] ---**
You don't say?
**[13:27] ---**
The barrier needs to have a gap.
**[13:29] ---**
If you're watching at the instant he
raises the field, it's easy to spot.
**[13:34] ---**
The antenna to remote-control
the flying arms!
**[13:40] ---**
You try my patience!
**[13:42] ---**
Nao, run!
**[13:43] ---**
No, I've been waiting
for him to get close.
**[13:53] ---**
Why, you little...
**[13:59] ---**
And they can't raise a barrier
along contact surfaces.
**[14:04] ---**
Why, you...
**[14:08] ---**
*Count Saazbaum?*
**[14:13] ---**
I can't hit him!
**[14:14] ---**
How can it be that fast?!
**[14:15] ---**
It's like it's anticipating the
trajectory of our bullets precisely!
**[14:22] ---**
Princess, hurry!
**[14:24] ---**
Coming!
**[14:25] ---**
Now you, Inaho!
**[14:27] ---**
*No.*
**[14:31] ---**
You go on ahead.
I'll be right behind you.
**[14:34] ---**
Lead the way.
**[14:35] ---**
Of course!
**[14:40] ---**
This way!
**[14:47] ---**
Filthy Terran!
**[15:05] ---**
You dare?!
**[15:18] ---**
Damn you!
**[15:29] ---**
Your kind could never understand...
**[15:34] ---**
The envy and hatred towards Terrans
that had been planted in us
**[15:38] ---**
constantly tarnished our souls and robbed us
of our ability to live as human beings!
**[15:44] ---**
You, with your lives of indolence
in a land of plenty,
**[15:47] ---**
could never understand
how we feel!
**[15:50] ---**
The resentment at having that
hatred ingrained in you!
**[15:52] ---**
The sense of futility when
you realize what was done!
**[15:55] ---**
The regret of failing to protect
the one you love...
**[15:58] ---**
You could never understand!
**[16:06] ---**
Count!
**[16:11] ---**
Orange!
**[16:14] ---**
Go! We'll hold them off here!
**[16:17] ---**
Hurry!
**[16:25] ---**
Optical seeker, down. Routing auxiliary
sensor feed to main monitor.
**[16:30] ---**
Right arm, power cut.
**[16:37] ---**
Left arm...
**[16:38] ---**
I will defeat all who hate...
**[16:42] ---**
I will break the cycle of hatred...
**[16:46] ---**
In the name of
Asseylum Vers Allusia!
**[16:49] ---**
Count!
**[16:50] ---**
Sleep!
**[17:22] ---**
Milord...
**[17:31] ---**
Inaho...
**[17:33] ---**
Are you all right, Inaho?!
**[17:36] ---**
Princess Asseylum!
**[17:38] ---**
Seylum?
**[17:40] ---**
Inaho! Thank goodness...
**[17:43] ---**
I have shut down the Landing
Castle's Aldnoah drive.
**[17:46] ---**
The operation was a success.
Now, we should escape, too.
**[17:50] ---**
Sorry... I can't see very well.
I have blood in my eyes.
**[17:56] ---**
I am right here, Inaho.
**[18:00] ---**
I am right here.
**[18:35] ---**
Count Saazbaum...?
**[18:39] ---**
You saved me, Slaine...
**[18:47] ---**
Well done.
**[20:47] ---**
Don't.
**[20:50] ---**
That is far enough.
Do not touch Her Highness,
**[20:56] ---**
...Orange.
**[21:07] ---**
Bat.
**[21:40] ---**
