[00:13] ---
    Where am I?
[00:17] ---
    I see...
[00:24] ---
    You lied? To let Seylum escape?
[00:30] ---
    So that's it...
[00:33] ---
    That was your conclusion
    when you guessed at what I wanted.
[00:40] ---
    Milord Slaine.
[00:41] ---
    What is it?
[00:42] ---
    There is a firefight in the hangar.
[00:45] ---
    Their assassination team?
[00:46] ---
    No, Milord.
[00:48] ---
    Princess Asseylum!
[00:54] ---
    I will cover you!
[00:58] ---
    Run!
[01:03] ---
    Eliminate the Terrans!
[01:06] ---
    Enemy attack! Enemy attack!
[01:11] ---
    Perform emergency launch.
[01:13] ---
    It's not safe, Milord.
    There is a battle outside.
[01:15] ---
    There is one in here, as well.
[01:17] ---
    Get us away from the battle zone
    at maximum combat speed.
[01:22] ---
    Retreat!
[01:33] ---
    Highness...
[01:37] ---
    Inko...
[01:39] ---
    Where is Princess Asseylum?
[01:41] ---
    Still no word from her!
[01:43] ---
    She didn't...
[01:45] ---
    ...manage to escape?
[01:48] ---
    No...
[01:54] ---
    Mission complete...
[01:57] ---
    Inko, come pick me up...
[02:05] ---
    I am terribly sorry, Count Klancain.
    It was not my wish to get you involved.
[02:10] ---
    Not at all. This is part of my mission.
[02:14] ---
    Mission?
[02:15] ---
    Yes, I came here under orders
    from His Majesty himself.
[02:20] ---
    From Grandfather?
[02:22] ---
    Emperor Rayregalia had misgivings regarding
    the subjugation of the Earth system
[02:28] ---
    after the death of the previous Count Saazbaum.
[02:30] ---
    And so, he commanded me to both
    investigate that and to ensure your safety.
[02:37] ---
    Then I must get in contact with Grandfather!
[02:40] ---
    It is possible to make contact. However...
[02:46] ---
    Count Klancain, transmission from the moonbase.
[02:49] ---
    Put it through.
[02:52] ---
    Lord Klancain, where are you
    taking Princess Asseylum?
[02:56] ---
    Ah, Lord Troyard.
[02:58] ---
    I am in the process of evacuating her
    to protect her from harm.
[03:02] ---
    The moonbase is a fortified installation.
    There is no safer location.
[03:07] ---
    And yet, a battle was in progress there.
[03:10] ---
    Rest assured, the enemies within the base
    have already been eliminated.
[03:14] ---
    Please return at once.
[03:15] ---
    No. I will not go back!
[03:21] ---
    I...
[03:24] ---
    ...watched birds on Earth.
[03:26] ---
    Highness....
[03:28] ---
    Earth was recovering,
    and humanity and nature were coexisting.
[03:34] ---
    It was you who taught me this.
[03:37] ---
    That humanity and nature...
[03:40] ---
    Earth and Vers...
[03:41] ---
    could prosper together!
[03:45] ---
    Yes. You are right.
    I did indeed say that.
[03:51] ---
    I have dispatched
    the Stygis Squadron to pursue.
[03:53] ---
    Seize the ship at the first opportunity.
[03:55] ---
    I beg you, Slaine.
    Please, stop the war.
[04:00] ---
    And make peace with Earth.
[04:04] ---
    Perhaps you are right.
[04:06] ---
    Very well.
[04:09] ---
    Let us discuss the matter.
[04:13] ---
    Slaine...
[04:15] ---
    That sector is dangerous.
    Please return immediately.
[04:19] ---
    Count Klancain, please turn back at once.
[04:21] ---
    I am afraid I cannot comply.
[04:23] ---
    I must obey Princess Asseylum's orders.
[04:27] ---
    Stealth to maximum.
[04:29] ---
    Yes, Milord.
[04:32] ---
    The spaceship Hadriacus
    has vanished from our screens.
[04:36] ---
    Continue your search.
[04:38] ---
    Yes, Milord.
[04:39] ---
    We needn't worry about
    any pursuers for the time being.
[04:44] ---
    Thank you.
[04:46] ---
    But... what am I to do now?
[04:50] ---
    Earth's military is trying to kill me.
[04:54] ---
    And Slaine has the backing
    of the Orbital Knights, as well...
[04:58] ---
    I must make contact with the crew
    of the Deucalion somehow.
[05:02] ---
    Milady.
[05:03] ---
    There is one knight
    who is on your side.
[05:08] ---
    The one who delivered the message
    from Inaho Kaizuka.
[05:15] ---
    Count Mazuurek.
[05:17] ---
    Now is the time to demonstrate
    my loyalty to Princess Asseylum.
[05:22] ---
    Landing Castle, lift off!
[05:44] ---
    Clydesdale Leader to all units!
    Target the enemies off the ship's starboard bow!
[05:48] ---
    Don't let them get close to the Deucalion!
[05:50] ---
    Enemy formation closing in!
    3 o'clock! Angle of elevation, 60!
[05:53] ---
    Increase AA cannon fire to starboard!
[05:55] ---
    Message from HQ!
    Orders to withdraw, ma'am!
[05:58] ---
    Withdraw?
[06:00] ---
    Looks like they got their results.
[06:02] ---
    Results, ma'am?
[06:03] ---
    The real operation that used us as bait.
[06:07] ---
    Prepare to withdraw!
[06:08] ---
    Order all units back to base!
[06:10] ---
    Mustang 00, 11 closing in.
    They're on a return course!
[06:14] ---
    It's Inko and Inaho!
[06:16] ---
    They're cleared to land.
    Get them aboard ASAP.
[06:43] ---
    They fled when they saw that they
    were no match for us, eh?
[06:45] ---
    What are they playing at?
[06:50] ---
    Count Troyard, the UFE is withdrawing.
    Shall we pursue?
[06:55] ---
    No. All units, return to base.
    They are to rearm for our next offensive.
[07:00] ---
    Also, summon the Landing Bases.
    Assign them to moonbase defense.
[07:05] ---
    Yes, Milord.
[07:12] ---
    Does that belong to my sister?
[07:16] ---
    Princess Lemrina...
[07:18] ---
    Did my sister–
[07:22] ---
    I see. Will I ever see her again?
[07:25] ---
    Yes. Count on it.
[07:28] ---
    I feel sorry.
[07:31] ---
    For her.
[07:35] ---
    And for you.
[07:42] ---
    Inaho...
[07:44] ---
    What is Lt. Kaizuka's condition?
[07:45] ---
    It's nothing life-threatening.
[07:48] ---
    What worries me is that the Analytical Engine
    is putting a strain on his cranial nerves.
[07:54] ---
    I told him not to, but look at how far
    he expanded its domain...
[07:58] ---
    What does that mean?
[07:59] ---
    He's ceded part of his brain to the machine.
[08:03] ---
    Damn crazy kid...
[08:13] ---
    I must do something to put an end to this war.
[08:17] ---
    I will address all of the Orbital Knights.
[08:19] ---
    With all due respect,
    that alone may not suffice.
[08:22] ---
    Why?!
[08:24] ---
    From the very beginning, the Orbital Knights
    have desired to fight Earth and occupy it.
[08:30] ---
    Count Troyard has given them a pardon
    to do just that in the form of a royal decree.
[08:35] ---
    He has unified them with guarantees
[08:37] ---
    of status in the new kingdom
    and Aldnoah activation privileges.
[08:42] ---
    Princess Asseylum, it was his betrothal
    to you that clinched it.
[08:47] ---
    If you simply call for an end to hostilities,
    you will only lose their trust.
[08:52] ---
    As long as your younger sister is at his side,
    pretending to be you.
[09:02] ---
    Ah, Princess Asseylum.
    It is good to see you well.
[09:06] ---
    Thank you for being so kind as to assist me.
[09:09] ---
    You give me too much credit, Highness.
[09:12] ---
    I am relieved to be able to repay my debt.
[09:16] ---
    Your debt?
[09:17] ---
    Yes...
[09:18] ---
    ...to the Terran boy.
[09:20] ---
    To Inaho Kaizuka.
[09:30] ---
    I've received reports that a part of
    your force went to the moonbase.
[09:34] ---
    Would you mind explaining why,
    Capt. Magbaredge?
[09:36] ---
    It was an on-the-spot call.
[09:39] ---
    If we lose the princess now,
    we lose any chance at peace for good.
[09:46] ---
    Why would Slaine launch a war like this?
[09:50] ---
    Milady...
[09:53] ---
    The Slaine I knew was kind,
    adored nature, and loved the Earth.
[10:02] ---
    He was not someone
    who would engage in pointless war...
[10:07] ---
    Why would he do this in spite of that?
[10:10] ---
    Milady...
[10:13] ---
    Lord Slaine has not changed at all.
[10:17] ---
    I do not know if his actions are right or wrong.
[10:21] ---
    But he has always cared deeply for you.
[10:26] ---
    He has always wished for
    what was best for you,
[10:29] ---
    even if it jeopardized his position,
    or even his life.
[10:34] ---
    Always... believing that you
    would awaken one day...
[10:44] ---
    Yes... I suppose that is true.
[10:51] ---
    What you say is right, Eddelrittuo.
[10:55] ---
    Are you able to make contact with Vers?
[10:57] ---
    Yes. However, His Majesty is...
[11:01] ---
    This is no time to stop at half measures.
[11:05] ---
    Count Klancain. I require your assistance.
[11:09] ---
    I shall use the Hadriacus' audience chamber.
[11:13] ---
    As you wish, Princess Asseylum.
[11:17] ---
    Attention, all forces.
[11:18] ---
    Operation will commence
    as planned at 1500 hours UTC.
[11:22] ---
    Man your battle stations and stand by.
[11:32] ---
    Lt. Marito, you're going into battle?
[11:36] ---
    Yeah. I'd hoped to have
    one last drink with you, Doc,
[11:41] ---
    but never got the chance.
[11:43] ---
    That doesn't sound like you.
[11:45] ---
    Well, we're in a low-pressure environment.
    I don't want to drink myself sick.
[11:49] ---
    No, not that.
    This won't be the last time.
[11:56] ---
    Sure, when I get back!
[12:00] ---
    Is this one of those "final showdown" situations?
[12:03] ---
    Maybe. If we finish 'em off, wouldn't it be?
[12:06] ---
    Whenever somebody dies in action,
    I guess that was the final showdown for him.
[12:10] ---
    Sheesh!
[12:11] ---
    Don't jinx us, okay?
[12:14] ---
    He's right! We're all going to
    make it back in one piece!
[12:18] ---
    Milord Slaine,
[12:19] ---
    the UFE has begun to mass its forces.
[12:22] ---
    What shall we do about them?
[12:24] ---
    This changes nothing.
    Launch all forces and intercept the UFE.
[12:28] ---
    In the meantime,
[12:30] ---
    we will request the assistance
    of the Orbital Knights who back us.
[12:33] ---
    Assistance, Milord?
[12:34] ---
    We will launch an all-out offensive
    against the entire Earth.
[12:39] ---
    They will know how it feels
    to have nowhere to go home to.
[12:50] ---
    Nao!
[12:54] ---
    Yuki...
[12:56] ---
    Are you okay, Nao?
[12:59] ---
    Yeah...
[13:00] ---
    Thank goodness...
[13:03] ---
    You did good today.
    Take it easy for a while.
[13:09] ---
    He's going to launch an all-out attack.
[13:14] ---
    Is it almost time for the mission?
[13:17] ---
    Don't even think it!
    Stay in bed!
[13:20] ---
    Sorry, Yuki. Something's come up
    that I have to do.
[13:25] ---
    Nao!
[13:26] ---
    Please, let me go.
[13:34] ---
    There's that face that says
    you're going even if I say not to.
[13:37] ---
    And there's that voice that says I'm going
    to be stubborn, so you may as well give in.
[13:42] ---
    Damn it. When you get back,
    let's have dinner together.
[13:47] ---
    That's a death flag right there.
[13:50] ---
    Hey! Don't talk like that!
[13:55] ---
    You're coming back alive, you got that?
[13:59] ---
    Sure. You do the same, Yuki.
[14:08] ---
    Hey, Inaho. Feeling better?
[14:12] ---
    Yeah. Is this...?
[14:14] ---
    Yeah, the Sleipnir Final Showdown spec!
[14:19] ---
    Isn't this payload a bit much, though?
[14:22] ---
    Getting close enough to use this
    in a space battle would be nuts.
[14:27] ---
    It looks like things are going to get nuts.
[14:29] ---
    Are you serious?!
[14:30] ---
    He's not taking this seriously at all!
[14:33] ---
    Inko...
[14:35] ---
    Why are boys always like this?
[14:37] ---
    Inaho, you're in no condition to go into battle.
[14:41] ---
    Let us handle it from here!
[14:43] ---
    I can't do that.
[14:45] ---
    Why not? Do you think you're some
    hotshot ace? That you're special?
[14:49] ---
    I've never thought that about myself.
[14:53] ---
    Darn it, Inaho!
    Why are you acting like you don't see it?
[14:57] ---
    If you go out now,
    you might not make it back this time!
[15:02] ---
    There won't be another miracle like last time!
[15:07] ---
    I don't want... to go through that again.
[15:13] ---
    I can't be the only one taking it easy.
[15:16] ---
    He's right, Inko.
[15:17] ---
    At a time like this, the kindest thing to do
    is say nothing and see him off.
[15:22] ---
    We need to worry about ourselves right now.
[15:25] ---
    Compared to Inaho, our odds of survival
    are probably lower, you know?
[15:31] ---
    Get real! I'm an ace, too!
[15:38] ---
    Thanks, Inko. Calm.
[15:41] ---
    Don't worry.
    Everyone will make it back.
[15:46] ---
    My left eye says so.
[15:49] ---
    Master switch, on.

    Fuel cell batteries, heating.
    Voltage, check.

    Mustang 00, ready.
[16:17] ---
    Grandfather...
[16:20] ---
    Grandfather...
[16:23] ---
    ...it is I.
    It is Asseylum.
[16:26] ---
    Do you recognize me?
[16:28] ---
    Ah, Asseylum...
[16:32] ---
    You look well.
[16:35] ---
    I am weary...
[16:38] ---
    How goes the subjugation of Earth?
[16:42] ---
    I have come to you today
    to ask a favor regarding that.
[16:48] ---
    I want you to make peace with Earth.
[16:54] ---
    Please give a direct order
    to the Orbital Knights to cease fighting.
[16:59] ---
    That, I cannot do...
[17:04] ---
    Grandfather...
[17:06] ---
    Earth can never be forgiven...
[17:09] ---
    Do not let our assault falter...
    Bring them under our dominion...
[17:17] ---
    Grandfather... Why do you hate Earth so?
[17:23] ---
    Where is Gillzeria?
[17:27] ---
    What has become of my son?
    Conquer the Earth at once!
[17:35] ---
    Father passed away...
    During Heaven's Fall.
[17:41] ---
    Filthy Terrans, you killed my son...
    And even my granddaughter, Asseylum.
[17:51] ---
    I am right here.
[17:56] ---
    Vers.
[17:58] ---
    That is what the ancients called this world.
    What they called Mars.
[18:07] ---
    Grandfather...
[18:09] ---
    Rejoice...
[18:11] ---
    For I have discovered
    a Martian superscience...
[18:18] ---
    It is called... Aldnoah.
[18:24] ---
    Magnificent... Mankind will
    make even greater strides.
[18:32] ---
    Aldnoah is the technology we dreamed of...
    It will make mankind happy.
[18:41] ---
    Yes.
[18:43] ---
    It is a great power.
    It must not be misused.
[18:50] ---
    Nurture it with care.
[18:53] ---
    I will.
[18:57] ---
    Who is that there?
    Is that you, Asseylum?
[19:02] ---
    How you've grown...
[19:07] ---
    You've grown beautiful.
[19:10] ---
    Become a fine princess.
    And lead our people to happiness.
[19:21] ---
    I will.
[19:34] ---
    Klancain. I ask you to put your rank
    and all of your connections at my disposal.
[19:40] ---
    Of course, gladly.
[19:42] ---
    Thank you for your loyalty, Count Cruhteo.
[19:49] ---
    Martian bastards!
[19:53] ---
    Glory to Vers!
[20:02] ---
    What the hell is that?!
[20:04] ---
    Slice them up!
[20:17] ---
    My servants, wipe them out!
[20:21] ---
    Open a channel.
    I wish to address all Orbital Knights.
[20:25] ---
    Yes, Milord!
[20:27] ---
    An all-out battle has begun between the
    moonbase and the United Forces of Earth.
[20:32] ---
    My fellow knights who have gone down
    to the Satellite Belt and to the surface.
[20:36] ---
    Launch a concerted attack against the
    UFE in your respective locations!
[20:41] ---
    Demonstrate our vast power
    to the Terrans once again.
[20:46] ---
    And show the UFE
    that resistance is–
[20:49] ---
    Hear me, Orbital Knights of Vers.
[20:53] ---
    Princess Asseylum...
[20:55] ---
    I am Asseylum Vers Allusia,
    Princess Royal of the Vers Empire.
[21:01] ---
    The conflict began from a single spark,
    and has grown into a massive war.
[21:08] ---
    What's this?
[21:10] ---
    A pirate broadcast?
[21:11] ---
    It's being transmitted on all bands.
[21:15] ---
    A multitude of people had myriad
     hopes and dreams that were at odds,
[21:19] ---
    resulting in great tragedy.
[21:22] ---
    This is a sad thing indeed.
[21:27] ---
    This war has brought me great sorrow.
[21:30] ---
    I feel both shame and a deep regret over
    our use of power that was not meant for us.
[21:39] ---
    I hereby...
[21:47] ---
    ...succeed the previous emperor,
    Rayregalia Vers Rayvers,
[21:52] ---
    and name myself Empress of the Vers Empire.
[21:55] ---
    I also take Count Cruhteo,
    member of the Orbital Knights' 37 Clans,
[21:59] ---
    to be my husband.
[22:03] ---
    We, the imperial family of the Vers Empire,
    wish to make peace with Earth!
