[00:11] ---
It looks like they haven't
cast a net this far.
[00:15] ---
Your escape's all over the news, though.
[00:18] ---
"Sudden disappearance
of the NJCO delegation (Tokyo)"
[00:18] ---
"Sudden disappearance
of the NJCO delegation."
[00:23] ---
The consensus in the NAC is that
we were behind the sniper incident.
[00:27] ---
It's the devil's proof, trying to prove
that you didn't do what you didn't do.
[00:33] ---
We're at a disadvantage.
[00:34] ---
What happened to the assistants?
[00:36] ---
They'll head to the NJCO separately.
[00:39] ---
If we travel together, we'll be a bigger
group, attracting unwanted attention.
[00:43] ---
They're professionals. They'll be fine.
[00:46] ---
We don't have a lot of
time to waste, either.
[00:48] ---
We should get moving. We'll find
a vehicle and supplies on the way.
[00:52] ---
Let's go.
[01:11] ---
"AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
[02:27] ---
"Our delegates' actions
are currently limited,
[02:31] ---
making it very difficult to secure
their freedom and prove their innocence.
[02:37] ---
Therefore, for their rights and safety,
we urged them to return home."
[02:44] ---
How does that sound
for public announcement?
[02:48] ---
I think that's fine.
We'll take it from here.
[02:52] ---
Gai, what's the status on
Lieutenant Colonel Zelenoy and Amou?
[02:55] ---
They're on the move around this area.
[02:57] ---
Since I'm physically located here,
[03:00] ---
all I can do is communicate with them.
[03:03] ---
They're moving carefully,
trying to stay under the radar.
[03:07] ---
Naturally, the North American military
will send pursuit groups.
[03:12] ---
We can't just sit on our hands, either.
[03:16] ---
However, if we move in large groups,
we'll get in each other's way.
[03:20] ---
Masaki, head an advance team and
meet up with the Lieutenant Colonel.
[03:25] ---
Take whoever you need.
[03:26] ---
Yes, sir!
[03:27] ---
I'll accompany you. I'm Lieutenant Colonel
Alexei Zelenoy's second-in-command.
[03:36] ---
All right. This mission requires us
to be swift and discreet.
[03:42] ---
Once the advance team joins up with them,
[03:45] ---
the backup team will
hold off any pursuers.
[03:48] ---
Lieutenant Colonel and
Amou's safety is top priority.
[03:51] ---
Kumai, you head the backup team.
[03:54] ---
Sir!
[03:54] ---
Which means we'll be in the backup team?
[03:57] ---
Yes. We're counting on you, Shion, Nayuta.
[04:00] ---
--Yes, sir!
--We're on it!
[04:03] ---
I hope it was all right for me to
give out the marching orders.
[04:07] ---
Of course. We're just supporters.
[04:11] ---
It'd be pointless if you don't
take the initiative in NJCO matters.
[04:18] ---
All right, everyone, get ready quickly.
[04:21] ---
Yes, sir!
[04:23] ---
You want us to go?
[04:25] ---
Yes. The first pursuit group is already
getting ready for deployment.
[04:30] ---
You'll be part of
the second pursuit group,
[04:33] ---
working together with the first
to go after the fugitives.
[04:36] ---
However, due to the recent battle
with the Eurasian military,
[04:41] ---
my unit is currently getting
a complete overhaul.
[04:45] ---
I cannot deploy.
[04:46] ---
You'll be given two platoons of unmanned
AMAIMs and a command vehicle to use.
[04:52] ---
Understood.
[04:53] ---
Anyway, I wonder how they escaped?
[04:57] ---
You think there's a traitor among us?
Anyone come to mind?
[05:02] ---
No, nobody.
[05:04] ---
However, doesn't this give us
a valid reason to invade New Japan?
[05:09] ---
Of course. We're already
working on that as well.
[05:13] ---
I'll inform you when the time comes.
[05:15] ---
Yes, sir!
[05:17] ---
You heard him.
[05:20] ---
We'll use Capricorn and Ghost
to calculate their anticipated route.
[05:26] ---
Go gather intel for us and
report back with what you find.
[05:29] ---
You have your own ways, don't you?
[05:31] ---
That's fine, but what will
you do with them?
[05:36] ---
Are you really going to capture them?
[05:38] ---
As long as we have their location,
we can use them in any way we want,
[05:42] ---
at our own convenience.
[05:46] ---
I only wish to serve my father.
[05:51] ---
How much time do you need?
[05:53] ---
Three hours should be enough
for my first report.
[05:57] ---
Use channel A37.
[06:01] ---
Perhaps his loyalty towards his father
is stronger than I thought.
[06:08] ---
That makes him easier to manipulate.
[06:15] ---
Well, I suppose it's time to participate
in this economic activity called war.
[06:29] ---
Mr. Alexei! Is this enough?
[06:33] ---
Ah, not too bad.
[06:36] ---
You're getting good at this.
[06:38] ---
This is my second time on the run.
[06:40] ---
All right, wait there
while I clean this fawn.
[06:44] ---
Not bad yourself!
[06:45] ---
All thanks to my survival training
when I joined the military.
[06:49] ---
I actually like to do
these sorts of things.
[06:52] ---
Good thing I borrowed a knife and seasonings
from a vacation house on the way.
[06:59] ---
Can you start the fire?
[07:01] ---
Try to use dry wood
to avoid too much smoke.
[07:05] ---
R-Right!
[07:06] ---
Why are you letting him take charge?!
[07:08] ---
Because...
[07:13] ---
I heard about various companies
in Europe and Africa
[07:16] ---
being involved in unfortunate
accidents or incidents.
[07:21] ---
Along with the rumors
that the NAC was behind it.
[07:25] ---
Are you saying Captain Brad Watt
was pulling the strings?
[07:30] ---
I have no proof, but based on
various circumstances, yes.
[07:36] ---
He worked with German and obtained Ghost.
[07:40] ---
Brenson Corp and TRYVECTA were attacked.
[07:44] ---
If he attacked those children
to monopolize the technology...
[07:50] ---
I'll never forgive him.
[07:53] ---
I see, that's why you were
so angry back there.
[07:58] ---
They say never judge a book by its cover,
but his tactics are nefarious.
[08:07] ---
And if that's the case,
we can't afford to take our time.
[08:11] ---
He's the one that let us go.
[08:13] ---
Amou!
[08:15] ---
Search the area and report
the current status to the main unit!
[08:20] ---
How'd you know?
[08:21] ---
Cell towers can be used as radars
if you know what to do.
[08:25] ---
I infiltrated the base station and...
Well, I'll spare you the details.
[08:30] ---
We're still ahead of them,
but they're closer to us than I thought.
[08:35] ---
Let's hurry. It'll be a race against time
to get to the rendezvous point.
[08:39] ---
Right!
[08:44] ---
These are units seized from the NAC
and transported units from Eurasia.
[08:50] ---
We also have combat vehicles
and the necessary weaponries.
[08:53] ---
This is great.
[08:57] ---
He's hesitant about this whole
"yesterday's enemy is today's friend" situation.
[09:04] ---
I get it.
[09:08] ---
Politics aren't my thing.
[09:10] ---
It's a lot easier for me to be
out there in the frontlines.
[09:13] ---
I don't even want to be a pivotal member
of the New Japan government.
[09:17] ---
I want to be one of the foundation stones.
[09:20] ---
I believe we can pave the way for
the future if we can build on top of it.
[09:28] ---
In the military, the success of a mission
relies on building a consensus.
[09:34] ---
People who know their strengths
and weaknesses are strong.
[09:40] ---
It seems we chose the right partner
to found the NJCO.
[09:49] ---
I'm honored.
[09:56] ---
Captain Miller,
[09:57] ---
four platoons of unmanned AMAIM
reinforcements have arrived.
[10:02] ---
What about the right of command?
[10:03] ---
It's already been transferred to us,
with the codes already entered.
[10:06] ---
Good. Allocate the platoons
from team three to six.
[10:11] ---
If they're on the move,
they'll leave tracks.
[10:14] ---
We can calculate their location
based on their speed and direction.
[10:18] ---
Surround them.
We're going to hunt them down.
[10:20] ---
What should we do with
Captain Watt's troops?
[10:23] ---
He's just a reserve force.
Ignore him for now.
[10:27] ---
He's making his move.
[10:29] ---
Eight platoons for a couple of escapees
seems a bit of an overkill.
[10:35] ---
What do you think Captain Miller will do?
[10:37] ---
Well, if I were him,
I'd flush the enemy out first.
[10:44] ---
Fire!
[10:51] ---
Th-They're firing at us!
[10:52] ---
It's just to intimidate us! Keep moving,
they're not actually trying to hit us!
[10:57] ---
But things are slowly
going to get worse...
[11:03] ---
That's tear gas! Be careful!
[11:05] ---
Okay!
[11:07] ---
Go left!
[11:26] ---
We've been led this way. Where's Gai?
[11:29] ---
I'm not getting any connection anymore...
[11:32] ---
We're in NAC territory.
They know the area better than us.
[11:39] ---
Run!
[11:43] ---
Target acquired!
[11:44] ---
This was too easy, but it is our mission.
Let's capture them.
[12:04] ---
Amou! Get down!
[12:10] ---
Are you all right?
[12:11] ---
Yes!
[12:15] ---
I'm sorry for the wait,
Lieutenant Colonel.
[12:18] ---
You never fail me.
[12:22] ---
Using the advance team's relay,
Gai's successfully reconnected with Amou.
[12:29] ---
However, they're now engaged with
the North American military.
[12:34] ---
They won't last long.
You need to get there now.
[12:38] ---
Roger that.
[12:39] ---
We'll provide data analysis and strategic
plans to support Masaki and his team.
[12:44] ---
So will I. I may not be there,
but I can help.
[12:47] ---
I can at least do that much.
[12:49] ---
Thanks.
[12:50] ---
This is frustrating,
not being there with them.
[12:53] ---
You went into the battle
by yourself last time.
[12:57] ---
Jogan still needs work.
And besides, we're too far away.
[13:02] ---
Right now, we just have to wait.
[13:12] ---
What's the plan? You basically jumped
into the enemy encirclement.
[13:17] ---
We'll break through from one point!
[13:19] ---
Captain Kumai and his backup team
will arrive from the route we came from!
[13:23] ---
We need to join them!
[13:25] ---
That's our only way.
[13:26] ---
The enemy's firing!
Your six o'clock, R23, L15!
[13:30] ---
Got it!
[13:36] ---
For such a small group,
they're impressive.
[13:39] ---
However, the encirclement
is nearly complete.
[13:44] ---
The enemy's advancing
faster than expected!
[13:46] ---
They must've changed their leg settings.
[13:48] ---
Enemy approaching from R03!
[13:50] ---
From our back, too!
[13:56] ---
Also from the left flank and front!
[13:59] ---
Dammit, they've completely
got us surrounded!
[14:02] ---
Looks like checkmate.
[14:09] ---
This is the perfect scene for a true hero
to swoop in to the rescue!
[14:15] ---
How did it get up that high?!
[14:17] ---
Anti-AMAIM guided missiles, ready.
All enemy units are within range!
[14:21] ---
Open the hatch!
[14:25] ---
Fire!
[14:32] ---
Missiles?! Intercept them!
[14:43] ---
The main wing is longer.
[14:46] ---
Is that a backup battery
on its back, or...?
[14:50] ---
Multiple guided missiles,
opening the hatch now!
[14:54] ---
Fire!
[15:25] ---
Its blade is sharp.
[15:27] ---
Equipment we've never seen before,
and a different exterior...
[15:31] ---
It's gone through an upgrade.
[15:33] ---
This is a completely new naginata!
[15:37] ---
Amou, we sent you the map data!
Mr. Kumai and his team are there!
[15:41] ---
We've brought Kenbu, too!
[15:43] ---
Got it!
[15:44] ---
But not my AMAIM?
[15:46] ---
You're the Federation of Great Eurasia's
military representative for the NJCO!
[15:51] ---
Please behave accordingly!
[15:53] ---
I know, I was just saying.
[15:57] ---
Platoon three and four were taken down...!
[16:00] ---
With the original AMAIM
joining the battle,
[16:02] ---
there's a hole in the encirclement.
[16:05] ---
What's your next move, Captain Miller?
[16:09] ---
Continue attacking!
[16:13] ---
Amou, Kenbu's in the vehicle behind us!
[16:16] ---
I'll also join the fight in an AMAIM!
[16:18] ---
Understood!
[16:22] ---
--Captain!
--I know.
[16:27] ---
I'll advance our troops.
[16:30] ---
Backup troops from the south side...
Be careful, my princess!
[16:34] ---
Yup!
[16:35] ---
Retreat the combat vehicle
currently deployed!
[16:38] ---
Transport Lieutenant Colonel
to safety is top priority!
[16:43] ---
Dahlia!
[16:45] ---
An ambush?!
[16:57] ---
First Lieutenant Lvov, get back!
[16:59] ---
Lieutenant Masaki?!
[17:16] ---
Losing a leg won't stop me!
[17:31] ---
Masaki, get out of there now!
[17:34] ---
Roger that, I'm on it--
[17:44] ---
What?
[17:50] ---
Masaki...
[17:53] ---
One enemy unit down.
[17:55] ---
The first pursuit group
and the reinforcements
[17:57] ---
are continuing their attacks.
[18:00] ---
It's risky.
[18:02] ---
How do you mean?
[18:03] ---
Look. The vehicle with the fugitives
is leaving the front lines.
[18:10] ---
They're changing tactics.
[18:13] ---
If he takes this change lightly...
[18:20] ---
Amou...
[18:22] ---
I know. I'm fine.
[18:27] ---
I know...!
[18:40] ---
My princess, can you continue?
[18:43] ---
Yes...
[18:48] ---
Yes, I can.
[19:01] ---
Shion, Amou, don't get too far ahead!
[19:04] ---
If we can push them back just a little,
that's enough!
[19:06] ---
--Yes, sir!
--Roger that!
[19:08] ---
The platoon on the left flank
has been destroyed!
[19:10] ---
Captain Miller. I advise you to
stop all combat and retreat.
[19:15] ---
We don't have enough forces
to pursue them.
[19:19] ---
Additionally, original AMAIMs are highly
experienced in fighting large numbers.
[19:25] ---
I've come to the same decision myself.
[19:27] ---
All units, fall back. Initiate plan B3!
[19:31] ---
Roger that.
[19:37] ---
I'm not picking up any enemy units.
Looks like they've retreated.
[19:45] ---
You're safe now.
[19:49] ---
Mr. Masaki's KIA?!
[19:52] ---
There's no mistake...
[19:58] ---
Dammit!
[20:02] ---
I apologize.
[20:05] ---
To save my second-in-command,
your comrade--
[20:09] ---
Nothing for you to be sorry for,
Lieutenant Colonel.
[20:12] ---
We're always prepared to die.
[20:16] ---
And that's how wars go.
[20:21] ---
I'm sorry...
[20:23] ---
Kumai, how're Amou and Shion doing?
[20:27] ---
They're keeping it together,
but they do seem a little despondent...
[20:32] ---
There may still be enemies around.
[20:34] ---
Tell them to stay alert
and come home safely.
[20:38] ---
Understood.
[20:50] ---
I know this is war, but...
[20:56] ---
So you've failed.
[20:58] ---
I'm sorry, sir.
[21:00] ---
It's fine. What's important is that
they reacted with hostile actions.
[21:05] ---
Now we have a valid excuse
to invade the Hokuriku region.
[21:10] ---
Yes, we'll send an armada
for our next mission.
[21:16] ---
You and your troops will also be deployed.
[21:25] ---
Now, I can take the completed Brady
Phantom and fight to my heart's content.
[21:41] ---
We can finally go to New Japan.
[21:43] ---
Yeah.
[21:44] ---
Okay, Gashin, get in!
[22:06] ---
Amou...
[22:18] ---

[23:50] ---
"Next on AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
[23:51] ---
How're Amou and the others holding up?
[23:54] ---
They're feeling down...
[23:55] ---
I don't blame them.
It's even impacting me.
[23:58] ---
Even if war and death go hand in hand...
[24:01] ---
The North American military
is making their move.
[24:04] ---
They're coming for us... I just know it!
[24:06] ---
We know what we have to do.
