    "Lake Louise Special Operations School"
    
[00:14] ---
    Men, this team that you've
    all been assigned to
[00:17] ---
    is one whose very existence
    is being kept under wraps.
[00:19] ---
    However, Valiancers
    that utilize the Coupling theory
[00:23] ---
    will be what decide the
    outcome of our war with Zogilia.
[00:26] ---
    Once Coupling Valiancers are deployed
    to all Confederation tactical units,
[00:31] ---
    you will be the ones who
    make up the core of our military.
[00:34] ---
    I want you to keep that in
    mind as you undergo training.
[00:39] ---
    I will now introduce
    the members of our team.
[00:41] ---
    First, the proponent
    of this theory, Doctor Fermi.
[00:48] ---
    Hey. You're Dio Weinberg?
[00:50] ---
    Yeah.
[00:52] ---
    I'm Fromm.
[00:53] ---
    The two of us are apparently
    the youngest on the team.
[00:56] ---
    It's nice to meet you, Dio.
[00:58] ---
    Nice to meet you.
[01:01] ---
    Wow, so you volunteered for this
    after being deployed on the front line.
[01:05] ---
    Was there some reason for that?
[01:13] ---
    Because Fiona...
[01:14] ---
    What?
[01:17] ---
    I just want the power
    to defeat the enemy, that's all.
[01:22] ---
    Dio, the front line, where were you?
[01:24] ---
    The Omura Base.
[01:26] ---
    Omura, as in...
[01:28] ---
    The place that got bombed recently?!
[01:37] ---
    Beat your wings
[01:39] ---
    See the light of hope
    in the sky you have yet to see
[01:44] ---
    And don't ever give in
    to the weight of sorrow
[01:47] ---
    Echo unto eternity, UNISONIA
[01:57] ---
    That world you see before your eyes
[02:02] ---
    What colors is it made up of?
[02:07] ---
    Measure feeling match
[02:09] ---
    The pain of loss isn't something
[02:12] ---
    You want to get used to, and yet
[02:15] ---
    Even on a night like this,
    the stars are beautiful
[02:21] ---
    Like a tarnished coin spilling
    from the palm of your hand
[02:27] ---
    Can't go back
[02:28] ---
    Want to go home
[02:30] ---
    The two, back-to-back
[02:33] ---
    Break through
[02:35] ---
    Turning unfading emotions
    into a lasting bond
[02:40] ---
    Like painting over a colorless world
[02:43] ---
    Let this sympathy reach
[02:46] ---
    Growing the wing
[02:47] ---
    Let's build the
    future that we envision
[02:52] ---
    We can change even fate
[02:55] ---
    Transcending time, UNISONIA
[03:04] ---
    "Cygnus" "Mobile Strike Aeroship"
    
[03:05] ---
    Zogilia aired a piece of their own?
[03:07] ---
    lt was by coincidence, but it seems
[03:07] ---
    "Buddy"
    
[03:09] ---
    the enemy had propaganda in mind as well.
[03:11] ---
    The music is so grandiose.
[03:14] ---
    At this rate, they'll be coming
    at us again with all they've got.
[03:17] ---
    "Captain Kuramitsu, 11th Aerial Expeditionary
    Strike Force"
[03:17] ---
    "1st Navy Special Squadron"
[03:17] ---
    Quickly prepare to come under attack!
[03:19] ---
    Roger!
[03:20] ---
    "Chitose Base"
[03:22] ---
    It's your fault for
    pointing a gun at them.
[03:25] ---
    How else was I supposed to bring them down?
[03:27] ---
    I already told you, that wasn't the point!
[03:34] ---
    It's here.
[03:35] ---
    That's...
[03:37] ---
    Our new ship.
[03:43] ---
    "Gáe Bulg, Protection Division
    Tactical Assault Aeroship"
[03:45] ---
    The National Defense Force's new ship
[03:47] ---
    mobilized from Chitose?
[03:48] ---
    Ostensibly, the memo states
    that their mission is to block
[03:51] ---
    the gathering of Confederation
    forces at the Hawaii Base,
[03:54] ---
    but their flight path
    runs through our battlefield.
[03:56] ---
    "Dorzhiev, 1st Airborne Division Commander"
    
[03:57] ---
    lt's already too late.
[03:58] ---
    By the time they arrive,
[04:00] ---
    the enemy's new ship will be
    at the bottom of the ocean.
[04:05] ---
    We can no longer detect the enemy!
[04:06] ---
    What?
[04:07] ---
    In rough seas, a low-flying
    object can be hard to detect.
[04:12] ---
    As if an aeroship that size
    would disappear among the waves!
[04:16] ---
    Search everywhere!
[04:18] ---
    Detecting multiple objects...
[04:20] ---
    Islands!
[04:25] ---
    Enemy ship detected.
[04:26] ---
    It's the Protective Division's
    flagship, the Gáe Bulg.
[04:29] ---
    That's an annoying
    one to be finding out here.
[04:31] ---
    Enemy ship has
    commenced reconnoitering.
[04:34] ---
    They probably lost track of us.
[04:36] ---
    At full speed,
[04:38] ---
    we're less than two hours away
    from the Confederation Hawaii Base...
[04:41] ---
    They said they don't have a single
    ship to spare to send to our aid.
[04:44] ---
    We'll just have to handle it on our own.
[04:47] ---
    We are a freshly
    commissioned state-of-the-art ship.
[04:50] ---
    In electronic warfare,
[04:52] ---
    it's certainly possible that we
    stand a chance against the Gáe Bulg.
[04:54] ---
    There's no need to evade them completely.
[04:57] ---
    Time is on our side.
[05:03] ---
    A storm?
[05:04] ---
    With maximum wind speeds
    of sixty meters per second.
[05:07] ---
    At its current pace, it will reach
    these waters in another hour.
[05:11] ---
    Are you saying a mere storm
    could bring down the Gáe Bulg?
[05:14] ---
    No, sir.
[05:15] ---
    However, at these wind speeds,
[05:17] ---
    it won't be feasible to
    send out the Valiancers.
[05:19] ---
    I believe the enemy also hopes
    to dodge an encounter with us.
[05:24] ---
    Waste no time in finding the enemy ship!
[05:28] ---
    Enemy ship, initiating a scan!
[05:30] ---
    Electronic jamming!
[05:31] ---
    Jamming signal!
[05:38] ---
    Opting for an evasive
    strategy at this point, huh?
[05:41] ---
    Our captain might not look like much,
[05:43] ---
    but starting with an assault aeroship,
    he's commanded six vessels,
[05:45] ---
    and he's apparently never been sunk.
[05:47] ---
    Is bringing the fight
    to them not an option?
[05:50] ---
    There's a chance they've
    stocked up on even more Valiancers
[05:52] ---
    than what they sent out
    last time, you know.
[05:54] ---
    Gack.
[05:55] ---
    In contrast,
    we've got a grand total of four.
[05:58] ---
    Five, just barely.
[06:01] ---
    Lee!
[06:02] ---
    Lieutenant!
[06:03] ---
    Lee!
[06:04] ---
    What? You've recovered from
    those massive injuries already?
[06:07] ---
    For injuries like that,
[06:09] ---
    three days is normally more
    than enough to make a full recovery,
[06:11] ---
    Boy From the Past.
[06:13] ---
    That's amazing...
[06:14] ---
    Not "fully" recovered. "Nearly," right?
[06:17] ---
    The doctor said I'm good,
    so it's as good as a full recovery, right?
[06:22] ---
    Lieutenant.
[06:23] ---
    I've been assigned
    to the Cygnus as of today.
[06:26] ---
    Ensign Fromm Vantarhei, sir.
[06:28] ---
    My apologies for not coming
    by to offer my greetings earlier.
[06:31] ---
    Yeah, I heard.
[06:33] ---
    I'm Lee Conrad. Good to meet you.
[06:35] ---
    Lee.
[06:37] ---
    Oh, my bad.
[06:40] ---
    Fromm. And Aoba and Dio.
[06:42] ---
    Elvira wants to talk to you.
[06:44] ---
    To us?
[06:51] ---
    Forty minutes until
    the storm zone reaches us.
[06:54] ---
    360 degree active search signal!
[06:56] ---
    Excellency!
[06:57] ---
    That will completely
    pinpoint the location of our ship!
[07:01] ---
    The Gáe Bulg will not be
    brought down by that puny Swan!
[07:04] ---
    360 degree active search signal!
[07:07] ---
    360 degree active search signal, incoming!
[07:09] ---
    No regard for their own security, huh?
[07:12] ---
    Neutralize the frequency, stat!
[07:13] ---
    Neutralizing frequency!
[07:16] ---
    Frequency neutralized.
[07:21] ---
    This is the standard Emphatier
    Waveform of a Coupling pilot.
[07:25] ---
    What is this?
    Is it basically brainwaves?
[07:27] ---
    It's the waveform necessary
    to conduct a Coupling.
[07:31] ---
    The old Coupling System was flawed,
[07:34] ---
    and you know that that
    resulted in many casualties, right?
[07:36] ---
    Yeah.
[07:37] ---
    So, in order to avoid
    repeating the same mistakes,
[07:40] ---
    our team did two things.
[07:44] ---
    One, the development
    of the cutting-edge cockpit
[07:47] ---
    that reduces signal delay
    and degradation to nearly zero.
[07:50] ---
    That cockpit...
[07:52] ---
    Yes. Elvira developed that, you know.
[07:55] ---
    Wow, I had no idea.
[07:57] ---
    And two, assembling people with potential
[08:00] ---
    and putting them through Coupler training.
[08:02] ---
    Every Coupler has
    undergone rigorous training
[08:04] ---
    to conform each of their Emphatier
    Waveforms to the standard waveform,
[08:10] ---
    to the point that they're
    all almost completely identical.
[08:13] ---
    Thanks to that, our experiments
    were met with success this time.
[08:16] ---
    That's amazing...
[08:18] ---
    Our greatest miscalculation was you, Aoba.
[08:21] ---
    What?
[08:21] ---
    Take a look at the next screen.
[08:23] ---
    You appeared out of the blue,
[08:25] ---
    synched with Couplers we had trained,
[08:28] ---
    and conducted perfect Couplings.
    This is your waveform.
[08:33] ---
    Wow...
[08:34] ---
    Aoba, your waveform matches up
    perfectly with the standard waveform.
[08:39] ---
    If it's a coincidence, the odds
    of this happening are astronomical.
[08:43] ---
    But this is where the problem starts.
[08:45] ---
    This is Dio's latest waveform.
[08:48] ---
    What?
[08:49] ---
    It's off?
[08:50] ---
    How?
[08:52] ---
    During the several dozen
    tests he conducted with Marcus,
[08:55] ---
    he was nearly aligned
    with the standard waveform,
[08:57] ---
    but after only a
    few Couplings with Aoba,
[09:00] ---
    this is what happened to Dio's waveform.
[09:03] ---
    So that's why he didn't
    match up with me anymore.
[09:06] ---
    You talk as if it's not your problem.
[09:08] ---
    Don't tell me...
[09:09] ---
    This is your waveform after the
    one Coupling you conducted with Aoba.
[09:15] ---
    Me, too?!
[09:16] ---
    But with Aoba...
[09:18] ---
    it works.
[09:20] ---
    What?
[09:21] ---
    It does.
[09:23] ---
    On top of that, the Emphatier
    Level that indicates your compatibility
[09:26] ---
    is even gradually going up.
[09:28] ---
    What's going on?
[09:30] ---
    We don't know the details yet.
[09:32] ---
    But the reason you
    can conduct Couplings
[09:34] ---
    even with a misaligned waveform
[09:36] ---
    is because Aoba naturally
    has the standard waveform,
[09:39] ---
    which allows his Buddy
    a greater margin of error.
[09:42] ---
    Greater margin?
[09:43] ---
    Meaning,
    you can conduct Couplings,
[09:45] ---
    even with someone who has an
    extremely nonstandard waveform.
[09:48] ---
    All the more true for a
    Coupler who's received training.
[09:51] ---
    But that permits your
    Buddy's waveform to diverge.
[09:55] ---
    What do you mean?
[09:57] ---
    Is there some problem?
[09:59] ---
    Ordinarily, a Buddy who diverges
    too far from the standard waveform
[10:02] ---
    ceases to be able to conduct Couplings.
[10:05] ---
    In other words, at this rate,
[10:07] ---
    Dio and Fromm may no longer be
    able to conduct Couplings except with you.
[10:14] ---
    The ultimate goal of the Coupling Project
[10:16] ---
    is to have the trained
    Couplers be able to Buddy up at will,
[10:19] ---
    conduct Couplings,
    and fight on every battlefield.
[10:23] ---
    That's why you
    underwent that rigorous training.
[10:27] ---
    Conducting Couplings
    with Aoba is a double-edged sword.
[10:31] ---
    How much time will
    it require to restore waveforms
[10:34] ---
    that have grown grossly
    misaligned due to those Couplings?
[10:36] ---
    Or even if they can be
    restored with retraining...
[10:39] ---
    At this stage, we don't know.
[10:41] ---
    Are Dio and I no longer capable
    of conducting Couplings, after all?
[10:45] ---
    We could give it another try.
[10:48] ---
    Then...
[10:51] ---
    They found us.
[10:52] ---
    The enemy ship has detected us!
[10:54] ---
    I guess we couldn't dodge them.
[10:56] ---
    It's a state-of-the-art search signal!
[10:58] ---
    It's not from the Gáe Bulg!
[11:01] ---
    What's that?!
[11:03] ---
    lt doesn't match any of the known ships!
[11:04] ---
    "Vajra" "Heavy Attack Cruiser Aeroship"
[11:05] ---
    lt's a new Zogilian ship!
[11:08] ---
    Identified! The enemy is the Swan!
[11:11] ---
    "Commander Gallant, Lieutenant
    Commander Sirojanko"
[11:11] ---
    This new aeroship certainly is something.
[11:13] ---
    Kind of you to say so.
[11:15] ---
    Valiancer Team ready to move out.
[11:18] ---
    Commander.
[11:19] ---
    Send this intel to His Excellency,
    Commander Dorzhiev, immediately.
[11:22] ---
    Commander!
[11:27] ---
    Will the Protection Division
[11:29] ---
    graciously accept information
    from the National Defense Force?
[11:33] ---
    It is a given that we inform
    those who can be trusted.
[11:37] ---
    "National Security Committee Administration
    Bureau"
[11:37] ---
    "Special Officer O'Keefe"
[11:37] ---
    Or will you defy my instructions?
[11:42] ---
    You must be joking,
    Madam Special Officer.
[11:46] ---
    Captain, transmit the location
    of the Swan to the Gáe Bulg.
[11:49] ---
    Also, let them know that we will
    send reinforcements should they request it.
[11:53] ---
    Roger that, sir.
[11:54] ---
    Hina, don't be discouraged.
[11:56] ---
    There will be other
    chances to redeem your honor.
[12:03] ---
    The National Defense Force
    has its uses now and then.
[12:06] ---
    Commander Gallant sends word
[12:08] ---
    that if there is a request for
    reinforcements, he will send them.
[12:11] ---
    No need.
[12:12] ---
    Tell him to pay close heed to how we fight!
[12:15] ---
    Gáe Bulg, full speed ahead!
[12:16] ---
    Full speed ahead!
    Target, the new enemy ship!
[12:37] ---
    The new enemy ship isn't approaching us.
[12:40] ---
    The only one approaching is the Gáe Bulg?
[12:42] ---
    Zogilia's National Defense
    Force and Protection Division
[12:44] ---
    have different chains of
    command, after all...
[12:47] ---
    If they don't both attack us at
    the same time, we still have hope.
[12:51] ---
    Prepare to intercept them!
[12:52] ---
    Valiancer Team, prepare to launch!
[12:57] ---
    We'll have to decide, here and now.
[12:59] ---
    What?
[12:59] ---
    On this sortie...
[13:00] ---
    No, from now on,
    who will Buddy up with whom.
[13:05] ---
    All right.
[13:06] ---
    Then let's decide on three.
[13:14] ---
    All right.
[13:19] ---
    One!
[13:20] ---
    Two!
[13:21] ---
    Three!
[13:25] ---
    It's decided. You two will be Buddies.
[13:27] ---
    Dio...
[13:30] ---
    I don't want to waste all that training.
[13:33] ---
    You understand, right, Dio?
[13:35] ---
    I suppose.
[13:39] ---
    Dio.
[13:41] ---
    You're fine with this?
[13:44] ---
    I'll definitely hate to
    see the training go to waste.
[13:47] ---
    But the uncertain Coupling with Fromm
[13:50] ---
    isn't something we can
    afford to test on the battlefield.
[13:52] ---
    Dio...
[13:56] ---
    It's not as if we know for sure
    that retraining won't restore things.
[14:00] ---
    Besides, putting you
    in a Beryl all by yourself
[14:02] ---
    won't add to our fighting strength.
[14:04] ---
    What?
[14:05] ---
    Let's go. There's no time.
[14:06] ---
    H-Hey! Wait, Dio!
[14:09] ---
    What did you mean by that?!
[14:10] ---
    Exactly that!
[14:15] ---
    The storm is close! Be careful!
[14:17] ---
    Roger!
[14:20] ---
    Rewrite the CMS for me.
[14:22] ---
    It's done already.
[14:24] ---
    I kind of had a feeling this would happen.
[14:27] ---
    I see.
[14:28] ---
    What are you talking about?
[14:29] ---
    It doesn't matter!
[14:31] ---
    Bradyon, ready to take off!
[14:33] ---
    What the heck?
[14:35] ---
    Luxon, ready!
[14:40] ---
    The enemy's two new
    Valiancers have been launched.
[14:42] ---
    All right. Stick to the plan.
[14:44] ---
    Yes, sir!
[14:46] ---
    Alfried Gallant.
[14:48] ---
    Watch from over there
    while I emerge victorious!
[14:50] ---
    Enemy Valiancer team
    is splitting into two groups!
[14:54] ---
    How many are out?
[14:55] ---
    Five Valiancers to a group.
[14:56] ---
    One group is headed for us.
[14:58] ---
    We'll have to split up, too.
[15:00] ---
    Valiancer Team, send one
    group to defend the Cygnus.
[15:03] ---
    If the Coupling Valiancers
    are their target,
[15:05] ---
    the group attacking the
    Cygnus should be the diversion.
[15:07] ---
    Let's switch it up and take care
    of them with the Luxon and the Bradyon.
[15:10] ---
    Roger!
[15:12] ---
    We'll stop the rest!
[15:14] ---
    Roger!
[15:15] ---
    That's tough enough already, Lee!
[15:17] ---
    No whining!
[15:20] ---
    That white one isn't here.
[15:22] ---
    Wait, their movement is strange!
[15:25] ---
    Are they planning to get us?
[15:27] ---
    Did we fall for their trap?!
[15:28] ---
    Don't tell me...!
[15:30] ---
    They're attacking us from both sides!
[15:33] ---
    You see, when it comes to combat,
[15:34] ---
    if you have plenty of troops in reserve,
[15:36] ---
    you can handle things
    in any number of ways!
[15:38] ---
    Damn it!
[15:39] ---
    Get them!
[15:43] ---
    The Luxon and the Bradyon
    are surrounded by ten enemy Valiancers!
[15:46] ---
    The difference in fighting
    strength is too great.
[15:50] ---
    Damn it!
    They got reinforcements!
[15:52] ---
    So they think five is enough to handle us?!
[15:54] ---
    They're actually right!
[15:57] ---
    Their fighting strength
    is something else.
[15:59] ---
    I once heard that
    Protection Division ships
[16:01] ---
    receive more supplies
    than is their allotted share.
[16:04] ---
    I could not be more envious.
[16:07] ---
    At this rate, it'll be
    like last time all over again!
[16:09] ---
    We're going to break
    out before we get surrounded!
[16:11] ---
    Got it!
[16:12] ---
    Connective, Dio!
[16:14] ---
    Acception!
[16:19] ---
    I'll clear the way!
[16:21] ---
    Watch out!
[16:25] ---
    Damn.
[16:26] ---
    So their encirclement is already complete?
[16:28] ---
    It was like this the last time, too.
[16:29] ---
    Before I even knew I was being surrounded,
[16:32] ---
    they'd already limited where I could go.
[16:37] ---
    We're blocked in every direction!
[16:40] ---
    This way!
[16:42] ---
    I can't get through!
[16:46] ---
    Does it look like
    I might be able to get through?
[16:48] ---
    Can I make it?!
[16:49] ---
    What?!
[16:51] ---
    No good?!
[16:53] ---
    During our earlier encounter,
[16:55] ---
    I gained a good grasp
    of how your Valiancers perform.
[16:57] ---
    There will be absolutely
    no escape for you this time!
[16:59] ---
    Damn it!
[17:01] ---
    We've got no more moves to make, Dio!
[17:02] ---
    No, there's something we haven't tried.
[17:05] ---
    You don't mean...
[17:07] ---
    It'll be harder than last time.
[17:08] ---
    And you! You better not slow me down!
[17:16] ---
    If the two are going to move together,
    capturing them will be easy.
[17:18] ---
    Surround them!
[17:19] ---
    Roger!
[17:21] ---
    Valiancers are accelerating!
[17:23] ---
    Their Emphatier Level is rising!
[17:25] ---
    No, you can't be! Are you
    two doing the Code T2Rise?!
[17:29] ---
    Oh yes we can be!
[17:30] ---
    Here we go!
[17:38] ---
    What is that?
[17:39] ---
    This reportedly happened
    once in Chitose!
[17:41] ---
    Keep them surrounded.
    I will take them down.
[17:47] ---
    We're going on the offensive, too!
[17:49] ---
    Okay!
[17:56] ---
    Amazing!
[17:57] ---
    They're even going on the
    attack while maintaining that state!
[18:00] ---
    By conducting Couplings with Aoba,
[18:03] ---
    Dio's waveform had
    diverged from the standard,
[18:05] ---
    but conversely,
    his potential had increased.
[18:07] ---
    Then...
[18:08] ---
    Sometimes, a double-edged sword
    can in fact grow stronger in battle.
[18:14] ---
    The effectiveness of their Coupling
[18:16] ---
    is on the verge of exceeding
    anything I'd ever imagined!
[18:25] ---
    H-How can they possibly do this?!
[18:29] ---
    This is the end!
[18:37] ---
    Impossible...
[18:39] ---
    The plan was supposed
    to have been perfect...
[18:45] ---
    Your Excellency!
[18:52] ---
    Time for us to strike back, too!
[18:53] ---
    Wh-What are our orders?!
[18:56] ---
    Retreat!
[18:57] ---
    Hey, don't retreat without orders!
[19:04] ---
    Decoupling.
[19:09] ---
    Dio, let's go help them over there!
[19:14] ---
    Disengagement of Coupling confirmed.
[19:16] ---
    Valiancer Team, move out.
[19:18] ---
    Roger.
[19:19] ---
    Full speed ahead
    with the storm at our back.
[19:21] ---
    Assist the Protection Division.
[19:23] ---
    Roger that, sir!
[19:24] ---
    According to our military researcher,
[19:27] ---
    once disengaged, it apparently
    takes time to restore the Coupling.
[19:31] ---
    I can't have them saying later
    on that the National Defense Force
[19:34] ---
    stood by and left the
    Protection Division to its fate, after all.
[19:36] ---
    Retreat! Make it quick!
[19:42] ---
    Damn it!
[19:43] ---
    Now they come?!
[19:47] ---
    Don't get caught in the storm!
[19:49] ---
    The National Defense Force's
    new ship has begun to take action!
[19:51] ---
    Prepare to intercept them!
[19:53] ---
    No.
[19:54] ---
    We're in no position
    to take them on right now.
[19:56] ---
    Let's flee into the storm.
[19:58] ---
    Into the storm?!
[20:00] ---
    Roger.
[20:01] ---
    Bring the Valiancer Team in! Quickly!
[20:07] ---
    I could've gone for a little longer.
[20:09] ---
    You’ll get penned in by the fresh troops.
[20:11] ---
    Move it! I want us back
    on the ship in under two minutes!
[20:13] ---
    Roger!
[20:14] ---
    Dio! Aoba! You guys hurry, too!
[20:16] ---
    Roger.
[20:16] ---
    Dio, enemy units!
[20:19] ---
    This time, for sure!
[20:21] ---
    That's Hina's...!
[20:22] ---
    It just had to be now!
[20:32] ---
    So they mean to flee into the storm.
[20:34] ---
    It appears the remnants
    of the Protection Division
[20:36] ---
    have completed their withdrawal.
[20:38] ---
    Shall we reverse course in pursuit?
[20:40] ---
    If they'd intercepted us head-on,
    we could've taken them down, but...
[20:44] ---
    We are here to be
    a part of the next operation.
[20:47] ---
    We should avoid incurring
    unnecessary losses.
[20:50] ---
    Roger that, sir.
[20:51] ---
    Maintain course and keep us moving!
[20:53] ---
    Valiancer Team, don't chase them too far.
[20:55] ---
    Roger.
[20:56] ---
    If we keep going, we'll end
    up in the middle of the storm.
[20:59] ---
    Return to base!
[20:59] ---
    Roger!
[21:03] ---
    Bizon, it's Hina!
[21:04] ---
    What?
[21:05] ---
    What are you doing, Hina?!
[21:07] ---
    I'll follow orders.
    After I've defeated the enemy!
[21:10] ---
    Damn it.
[21:11] ---
    I'm turning back!
[21:12] ---
    Hina, come back!
[21:13] ---
    That kind of thing is my job!
[21:19] ---
    The three Beryls have landed.
[21:21] ---
    What about the Luxon and the Bradyon?
[21:23] ---
    We'll be bringing them in soon.
[21:25] ---
    Bradyon, coming in for landing.
[21:29] ---
    Luxon, coming in for landing.
[21:34] ---
    Foe of Zogilia!
[21:36] ---
    Hina, stop this!
[21:39] ---
    What are you doing?! Fight back!
[21:41] ---
    But this is Hina's...!
[21:43] ---
    If only...
[21:44] ---
    If only you had never appeared...!
[21:46] ---
    Hina, retreat!
[21:49] ---
    Damn it!
[21:52] ---
    Hina!
[21:56] ---
    Closing hatch!
[21:58] ---
    It's too dangerous!
[21:59] ---
    Is everyone back yet?!
[22:01] ---
    It's the Luxon!
[22:03] ---
    Stop this, Hina!
[22:05] ---
    Let go!
[22:13] ---
    Hurry, Aoba!
[22:17] ---
    Watch out!
[22:23] ---
    Aoba!
[22:27] ---
    With my heart, I call out
[22:31] ---
    To the far side, mutually drawn
[22:35] ---
    Forgetting even the reason I ache
[22:40] ---
    Just for now, please
[22:44] ---
    I know you
[22:49] ---
    I'm looking for you
[22:53] ---
    Softly pressing my lips to the bright
    afterimage I can't keep from leaving
[23:02] ---
    If hesitation is what gives way
    to the slightest of hopes
[23:11] ---
    To as many gentle mornings
    as the times I have wandered
[23:20] ---
    In the future that
    leads back to that sky,
[23:24] ---
    I want to save you,
    I want to protect you
[23:29] ---
    In the future that arrives at that dream
[23:33] ---
    Wait for me
[23:36] ---
    The love we'll surely find
[23:41] ---
    I want you to reach out for it
[23:48] ---
    Next time on Buddy Complex.
