[00:22] ---
    Run! If that rain gets on you, it's over!
[00:28] ---
    Meg!
[00:29] ---
    Meg! Are you all right?!
[00:32] ---
    Tim! Hurry!
[00:34] ---
    Grab hold!
[00:39] ---
    Tim!
[00:46] ---
    Transformation?!
[00:48] ---
    Tim is... Tim is...
[00:53] ---
    Strange...
[00:54] ---
    I'm not afraid of anything anymore.
[00:57] ---
    Tim!
[01:04] ---
    It's finally begun!
[01:05] ---
    Yeah.
[01:12] ---
    Awright! Let's go!
[01:16] ---
    That's how it always starts...
[01:18] ---
    under the azure sky
[01:21] ---
    After making a vow,
[01:25] ---
    I now set off
[01:41] ---
    Yeah, the desert glitters with a golden hue
[01:46] ---
    (The wind is scorching)
[01:48] ---
    I'm searching for a diamond flower
[01:52] ---
    (I keep on wandering)
[01:54] ---
    Now, for the first time in my life,
[02:00] ---
    I live for someone else
[02:07] ---
    There's something I wanna protect
[02:13] ---
    I'll never, ever lose it again
[02:19] ---
    Resound, my heartbeat!
[02:26] ---
    A heartbeat smaller and fragile,
    but tougher than anyone's.
[02:48] ---
    There's been no
    response from the flying object.
[02:50] ---
    Please order an attack!
[02:52] ---
    We have no choice...
[02:58] ---
    Target confirmed. Formation 05.
[03:01] ---
    Maintain your positions!
    We'll aim at its head.
[03:04] ---
    Roger! Locked on target!
[03:07] ---
    "The Cat’s Paradise"
[03:45] ---
    What are you thinking?
[03:49] ---
    It's not about what's
    outside this paradise, is it?
[03:53] ---
    I...
[03:54] ---
    That is a sin.
[03:57] ---
    Now look...
[04:05] ---
    No!
[04:06] ---
    See? Even over here...
[04:11] ---
    No!!
[04:24] ---
    Those poisonous snakes are trying
    to drag you out of this paradise,
[04:29] ---
    and take you back to the sullied world.
[04:34] ---
    You must destroy them. Or it is
    the end for you and paradise.
[04:40] ---
    Me?
[04:44] ---
    Wh-What's happening? What's going on?!
[05:01] ---
    Magnificent! Eve, keep it up!
[05:05] ---
    Bring down all who try
    to invade our paradise!
[05:16] ---
    What?! You're saying Eve's doing all that?
[05:19] ---
    Eve is putting everything she has
    learned up to this point to use.
[05:23] ---
    But... I never taught Eve how
    to bring down armed helicopters!
[05:33] ---
    Was that it?
[05:36] ---
    What?!
[05:37] ---
    He is...
[05:42] ---
    Relax. I don't plan to fight you guys.
[05:47] ---
    More importantly, you're
    heading to that monster thing, right?
[05:51] ---
    What?! Your friend was
    swallowed up by that thing?!
[05:56] ---
    I... couldn't protect Tim.
[05:59] ---
    Tim?!
[06:05] ---
    Dammit!
[06:07] ---
    Eden will continue to
    grow by absorbing life energy.
[06:11] ---
    In time, it will swallow up all of mankind,
[06:14] ---
    and totally cover this planet.
[06:17] ---
    A self-propagating machine with
    immortal life and infinite capacity...
[06:25] ---
    But Eden is still in its infancy.
[06:28] ---
    What?! No way!
    That thing is still an infant?!
[06:32] ---
    Yes, if it swallows up more and
    more people and increases its power...
[06:37] ---
    it will be beyond our powers.
[06:40] ---
    No!
[06:41] ---
    Then what do you do?
[06:43] ---
    Separating Eve from Eden before
    they completely merge is the only way...
[06:49] ---
    Eve? Did something happen to her?
[06:51] ---
    Eve is inside that thing.
[06:55] ---
    If it's as I designed it,
    Eve has been taken into the receptor.
[07:04] ---
    Sheesh... Awfully relaxed,
    aren't you?! You even brought food!
[07:08] ---
    C'mon! It's like they say,
    you can't fight on an empty stomach.
[07:14] ---
    Right?
[07:19] ---
    Don't they?
[07:22] ---
    So, the question is how we attack it...
[07:25] ---
    Eden is showering nanomachines...
[07:29] ---
    In other words, we can't attack from below.
[07:32] ---
    But to attack from the sky...
[07:34] ---
    We'd be cut into pieces
    with that sickle-like thing...
[07:38] ---
    It will be difficult
    to stop that nano-slicer.
[07:41] ---
    The only way is to create a blind spot...
[07:44] ---
    Or lure it to a small
    area and run it aground?
[07:48] ---
    How?
[07:50] ---
    We're at the end of our rope...
[07:52] ---
    Isn't there something we can do?
[07:57] ---
    How does Eden detect people?
[08:00] ---
    It's not as though it's spreading
    nanomachines at random, right?
[08:08] ---
    Eden detects humans'
    mental activities through Eve,
[08:13] ---
    and moves towards areas
    where it senses a high response.
[08:15] ---
    So that's why it targets cities.
[08:18] ---
    Then the place Eden will target next is...
[08:25] ---
    Palmila City...
[08:26] ---
    Then, it means that we have to take care
    of it before it gets there or it's over.
[08:31] ---
    If it's in the middle of the
    desert, where no humans are around,
[08:33] ---
    even a small number of
    people may be able to lure Eden.
[08:37] ---
    That's it!
[08:39] ---
    Now, the question is,
    where are we going to lure Eden?
[08:43] ---
    If we are to run it aground,
[08:46] ---
    maybe it should be between cliffs?
[08:51] ---
    Oh, let's just move forward for now.
[08:54] ---
    We've already chowed down, so...
[08:59] ---
    Kuro-sama!
[09:02] ---
    I asked Charden-san to join me!
[09:06] ---
    It has been a while...
[09:13] ---
    Since that time,
[09:14] ---
    I've continued on my journey
     in search of a path to follow.
[09:22] ---
    That's right...
[09:24] ---
    What's more important than me right
    now is what to do with that monstrosity.
[09:29] ---
    This is the place...
[09:32] ---
    To the southwest of Palmila City,
[09:34] ---
    there is a ravine created
    over time by weathering.
[09:38] ---
    If we lure it here...
[09:40] ---
    Sheesh! How are we gonna make
    that huge thing change its course?!
[09:45] ---
    Eve's consciousness
    shouldn't be completely gone yet.
[09:48] ---
    Eden will react to whatever Eve likes.
[09:51] ---
    Whatever Eve likes... whatever Eve likes...
[09:55] ---
    Isn't there something?!
[09:56] ---
    When you think of Princess,
    you think of omelets! Charred black ones!
[10:00] ---
    And I love mango pudding!
[10:02] ---
    Young girls love fruit parfaits.
[10:05] ---
    Grilled octopus in batter?
[10:06] ---
    Hamburgers?
[10:08] ---
    Poached tofu?
[10:09] ---
    Sven...
[10:10] ---
    No!! It's nothing like that!
[10:14] ---
    When you think of Eve,
    you think of books, right?!
[10:16] ---
    "The Bond Between a Husband and Wife,"
    "101 Wild Elephants on the Stampede!"
[10:19] ---
    "Camels' Humps," "Tagaya"...
[10:25] ---
    Fireworks!
[10:26] ---
    --Fireworks?!
[10:26] ---
    --Fireworks?!
[10:29] ---
    Right! Fireworks!
[10:31] ---
    Eve likes the fireworks at festival time!
[10:35] ---
    We'll shoot up lots and lots of
    fireworks and get Eve's attention!
[10:37] ---
    Fireworks?
[10:39] ---
    We won't find fireworks
    in the middle of a desert like this.
[10:45] ---
    Hey! Where're you going?!
[10:48] ---
    To the fireworks factory in town!
[10:50] ---
    You guys go on ahead,
    I'll catch up right away!
[10:53] ---
    Leon!
[10:54] ---
    Leon!
    Leon!
[10:56] ---
    You fool!
[10:58] ---
    If the nanomachine rain gets on you,
    you'll be swallowed up, too!
[11:12] ---
    I hate sand!
[11:15] ---
    Damn, that kid!
[11:43] ---
    Well, Train?
[11:45] ---
    See the kid?
[11:56] ---
    --Nope.
[11:56] ---
    --♪ La la... ♪
[11:57] ---
    I see...
[11:59] ---
    Gotcha!
[12:00] ---
    Leon...
[12:04] ---
    Eden is!
[12:06] ---
    What the hell is that?!
[12:08] ---
    Eden has turned into a woman...
[12:12] ---
    So pretty...
[12:14] ---
    The second form of Eden...
[12:16] ---
    What?
[12:17] ---
    By absorbing the people in Kashmir City,
[12:20] ---
    the bond between Eden
    and Eve has grown stronger.
[12:23] ---
    Oh, no!
[12:26] ---
    Once it reaches Palmila City, no one will
    be able to stop Eden and Eve from merging.
[12:32] ---
    We must hurry!
[12:34] ---
    Dammit, where's the fireworks?!
[12:37] ---
    He's definitely taking too long.
[12:39] ---
    There's no point in
    placing our hopes on a kid.
[12:42] ---
    He may have been an
    Apostle of the Stars once,
[12:44] ---
    but he's still just a kid.
[12:46] ---
    I wonder if he got
    rained on by nanomachines
[12:49] ---
    and was swallowed up by Eden...
[12:52] ---
    Hey!
[12:58] ---
    --Oweee!
[12:59] ---
    --Hey! Stop it!
[12:59] ---
    --My bad! My bad! I'm sorry!
[13:05] ---
    That kid... isn't too shabby, it seems...
[13:09] ---
    Huh?
[13:14] ---
    Kuro-sama!
[13:14] ---
    Train!
[13:15] ---
    Wait for me!
[13:18] ---
    That's reckless! Come back! Train!
[13:21] ---
    Don't worry!
[13:22] ---
    Eden has left Kashmir City!
    The rain will stop soon!
[13:29] ---
    All... who... invade... paradise...
[13:33] ---
    will be... dealt with.
[13:40] ---
    Well, you can't have this!
[13:44] ---
    Dammit!
[14:23] ---
    Kid, you're not bad at all.
[14:31] ---
    What's the speed of the enemy?
[14:33] ---
    It's still going
    at about 100 km per hour.
[14:36] ---
    It'll be over if we fall behind...
[14:38] ---
    The road conditions are awful.
[14:40] ---
    It's a life-or-death rally, huh?
[14:42] ---
    Awright... I'm all fired up!
[14:45] ---
    Once Eden runs aground, we will go in.
[14:49] ---
    Then let us wish each other success,
[14:51] ---
    and also that we will meet again alive.
[14:54] ---
    --Right!
[14:54] ---
    --Right!
[15:01] ---
    Are you tired, Eve?
[15:05] ---
    But it's just a little more.
[15:08] ---
    We're going to an even more fun place next.
[15:13] ---
    A place... that's even... more fun...
[15:36] ---
    No, not that way!
[15:39] ---
    Let's go to an even more fun place!
[15:42] ---
    Hey! Eve!
[15:47] ---
    Awright!
[15:49] ---
    Just like someone said,
    it's reacting to the fireworks!
[15:52] ---
    Aghh! It's headed this way!
[15:54] ---
    Awright! Let's make a big show!
[16:00] ---
    I have permission
    from Kuro-sama just for today...
[16:03] ---
    So I'm going to blow a lot of fire!
[16:14] ---
    Tamaya!
[16:18] ---
    Tamaya! Tamaya!
[16:21] ---
    Tamaya!
[16:24] ---
    Tamaya! Tamaya! Tamaya!
[16:30] ---
    What's going on?
[16:32] ---
    Eden has changed its course!
[16:35] ---
    The sweepers...
    Rather, it's the work of small fries.
[16:40] ---
    It doesn't matter!
[16:42] ---
    Put it back on course
    for Palmila City immediately.
[16:45] ---
    I understand.
[16:48] ---
    Tama...!
[16:58] ---
    Now...
[17:00] ---
    come with me to an even more fun place, Eve.
[17:07] ---
    Leave them to me and
    keep shooting up fireworks!
[17:14] ---
    Drat! That thing's turning around!
[17:17] ---
    Shoot up more fireworks!
[17:22] ---
    Aww... Looks like it's going away!
[17:25] ---
    Hey! Don't give up!
[17:27] ---
    Boo!
[17:33] ---
    This is bad, Sephiria! Eden is
    turning back towards Palmila City.
[17:40] ---
    Hey Train! What're you up to?!
[17:44] ---
    --Go, Mister!
[17:45] ---
    --Aghhh! Stop it!!
[17:46] ---
    --You're so cool!
[17:48] ---
    Hang on tight!
[17:51] ---
    Let's go!
[18:08] ---
    Hey! Princess!
[18:11] ---
    Come on over this way!
[18:14] ---
    Eve! Come back!
[18:22] ---
    What's wrong, Eve?
[18:25] ---
    Eve! I was wrong!
[18:28] ---
    I'll never tell you to go
    to a boarding school again!
[18:31] ---
    Th-This is...!
[18:39] ---
    You don't have to go to school!
[18:42] ---
    We'll always be together!
[18:55] ---
    All right! It's coming this way!
[19:04] ---
    Whee!
[19:38] ---
    --Yeah!!
[19:38] ---
    --Yeah!!
[19:40] ---
    Awright! Let's attack!
[19:43] ---
    --Right!
[19:43] ---
    --Right!
[19:44] ---
    Kaboom!
[19:46] ---
    We will go in, too!
[19:58] ---
    Fight with all your strength...
    in accordance with your beliefs!
[20:02] ---
    Very well!
[20:04] ---
    Let us wish each other success...
[20:07] ---
    Rins-chan! When I return,
    I will give you a big, long hug!
[20:13] ---
    Wow! He's gonna marry you!
[20:15] ---
    Wedding! Wedding!
[20:17] ---
    Tan tan tatan!
[20:19] ---
    Jenos!
[20:21] ---
    I'll punch you in the face when you return!
[20:33] ---
    Small fries... this is
    your idea of a trap?!
[20:37] ---
    I have no choice...
[20:38] ---
    I shall show you small fries
    the true power of Eden!
[20:44] ---
    The real power of Tao!
[20:52] ---
    Now you shall witness...
[20:54] ---
    the infinite life
    energy that I discovered!
[21:17] ---
    What?!
[21:19] ---
    We're already in a pinch?!
[21:25] ---
    Now go, Zero Numbers!
[21:39] ---
    Heartnet, leave this place to us...
[21:42] ---
    and go!
[21:49] ---
    Go, XIII!
[21:51] ---
    Mademoiselle Eve is waiting!
[21:54] ---
    I owe you!
[21:57] ---
    The sin of betrayal...
[21:59] ---
    You shall pay for it now!
[22:01] ---
    Damn! They're here again!
[22:06] ---
    I shall assist!
[22:11] ---
    I'm counting on you!
[22:14] ---
    Awright!
[22:15] ---
    Each one of you...
[22:17] ---
    Don't you dare die!!
[22:29] ---
    Since your new black
    boots caused a blister,
[22:36] ---
    you rest your right foot
[22:43] ---
    We'll keep walking along
    with our own rhythm, without rushing
[22:56] ---
    Don't say anything
[23:04] ---
    because we'll soon understand each other
[23:11] ---
    I'm just holding you now to keep you warm
[23:25] ---
    I'm completely wrapped around you, so...
[23:35] ---
    Quietly the powder-like
    snow is building up...
[23:55] ---
    "Next Episode"
[23:55] ---
    I've finally made it this far...
[23:59] ---
    The journey was short yet it seemed long...
    so many things happened.
[24:03] ---
    Well, thanks to those things,
    I can now see things better...
[24:06] ---
    Friends... freedom... things like that...
[24:12] ---
    Well, whether we like it or not,
    this is the end!
[24:15] ---
    Everyone, let's go out with a bang
     so there's no regrets!
