Naru?
**[01:45] ---**
Naru... Naru!
**[01:48] ---**
Naru, why?!
**[01:50] ---**
Why go with someone like Truth?!
**[01:52] ---**
Don't go! Don't go, Naru!
**[01:58] ---**
What?
**[02:00] ---**
Th-This...
**[02:03] ---**
Naru! Naru!
**[02:08] ---**
This is...?! Naru!
**[02:11] ---**
Naru! Naru!
**[02:14] ---**
Naru!
**[02:20] ---**
Ao...
**[02:22] ---**
Ao!
**[02:24] ---**
I can't say I approve. Seriously.
**[02:26] ---**
Oh, no, I'm sorry.
**[02:29] ---**
I was double-checking today's flight data...
**[02:31] ---**
That's not what I meant.
**[02:33] ---**
What?
**[02:34] ---**
I was referring to how you're
staying behind so late to work.
**[02:38] ---**
Recovering your strength
is part of a pilot's job, too.
**[02:42] ---**
I know that, but...
**[02:44] ---**
With the Third Engines not operating
on the Alleluia and the Kyrie,
**[02:47] ---**
I'm the one who has to be strong.
**[02:50] ---**
I... have to be strong.
**[02:59] ---**
What did you do that for?!
**[03:00] ---**
Just go home!
**[03:03] ---**
Our IFOs aren't so forgiving that a
sleep-deprived person can pilot them.
**[03:07] ---**
Mr. Alex...
**[03:09] ---**
Hey! Ao!
**[03:12] ---**
We got the new parts in!
**[03:15] ---**
We've had you roughing it with
the Kyrie's replacement parts,
**[03:18] ---**
but now, starting with the next mission,
**[03:19] ---**
the Nirvash will be back to its old self!
**[03:22] ---**
We're counting on you, Ace!
**[03:25] ---**
R... Right...
**[03:34] ---**
Working overtime this
late into the night, Chief?
**[03:38] ---**
Mm, there's something
that's been bothering me.
**[03:41] ---**
I mean, it doesn't bother you? The Secrets?
**[03:45] ---**
It's true that since the battle
in the waters off Ogasawara,
**[03:48] ---**
the number of appearances have jumped.
**[03:50] ---**
That's not all.
**[03:52] ---**
Ever since that case in Arizona,
**[03:54] ---**
the Secrets have rapidly begun
to learn about human beings.
**[03:58] ---**
And the radio wave that Georg detected...
**[04:01] ---**
That was...
**[04:02] ---**
The unidentified radio wave that was
registered during the battle
**[04:04] ---**
in the waters off Ogasawara
**[04:06] ---**
has been registered seven more
times during subsequent battles.
**[04:09] ---**
Analysis of it is not yet complete,
**[04:11] ---**
but each time it was registered,
the gain on it had increased...
**[04:16] ---**
What do you think, Christophe?
**[04:18] ---**
Of the Japanese government's...
**[04:19] ---**
You mean that nonsense of theirs?
**[04:22] ---**
That the Scubs are invaders of our universe
**[04:25] ---**
and the Secrets are eliminating them
like white blood cells or whatever?
**[04:29] ---**
We have to take it with a grain of salt,
**[04:31] ---**
but the fact is we're seeing some
countries taking their claim seriously.
**[04:35] ---**
We're currently investigating it.
**[04:37] ---**
I'll report back to you soon.
**[04:39] ---**
Please do.
**[04:41] ---**
Well, whether it's the Secrets or the Scubs,
**[04:44] ---**
whichever side we support will
likely end up being the right side.
**[04:48] ---**
So, I have one more question for you.
**[04:52] ---**
It's about that strange substance called Quartz
**[04:54] ---**
that you have squirreled away over there.
**[04:58] ---**
I believe nothing was ever found here.
**[05:00] ---**
Not even by your undercover investigation.
**[05:03] ---**
I could go over your heads
and exert my influence there.
**[05:07] ---**
Big Blue World is nothing more
than one of our shareholders.
**[05:11] ---**
I don't believe either of us has
any authority over the other.
**[05:17] ---**
We are currently conducting a
company-wide health screening.
**[05:20] ---**
All personnel should consult the
schedule and follow instructions.
**[05:27] ---**
Anything unusual health-wise?
**[05:29] ---**
Dizziness? Nausea?
**[05:32] ---**
No, nothing especially.
**[05:34] ---**
Uh, um...
**[05:36] ---**
Mom Hannah, it's time for your shuttle.
**[05:39] ---**
Roger.
**[05:40] ---**
Send me the data later.
**[05:42] ---**
Yes, Ma'am.
**[05:45] ---**
What's wrong?
**[05:46] ---**
No...
**[05:49] ---**
It's nothing.
**[05:51] ---**
It's unusual for Mom Hannah to come
all the way down here from space.
**[05:56] ---**
That's because, you know... It's got to be.
**[05:58] ---**
There are rumors going around.
**[06:00] ---**
That the reason he's so different is
because he got it from his mother.
**[06:04] ---**
Eureka's pretty, right?
**[06:07] ---**
I wonder if Ao takes after his mother.
**[06:11] ---**
That woman is the one who messed up Ao.
**[06:15] ---**
That reminds me, Elena.
**[06:17] ---**
You were acting weird the other day,
remember? When Eureka showed up?
**[06:20] ---**
What was that about?
**[06:22] ---**
That's classified information.
**[06:24] ---**
I'm done.
**[06:26] ---**
They want Chloe next.
**[06:28] ---**
Oh, okay.
**[06:41] ---**
It's so obvious.
**[06:43] ---**
You announced this BS
company-wide health screening,
**[06:45] ---**
but your goal was to examine Ao, right?
**[06:47] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[06:49] ---**
What did you discuss with Eureka?
**[06:52] ---**
Wasn't it something about how
trapars are harmful to humans?
**[06:56] ---**
Hypothetically speaking...
**[06:57] ---**
Eh?
**[06:59] ---**
Hypothetically speaking,
**[07:00] ---**
even if one mother's selfish motives
were to have changed the world,
**[07:04] ---**
all mothers should take her side.
**[07:08] ---**
Wouldn't you agree?
**[07:11] ---**
You mean...
**[07:13] ---**
Don't tell me that woman...?!
**[07:55] ---**
Do you have what I asked for?
**[07:59] ---**
Sleeping pills.
**[08:02] ---**
No side effects, but don't take too many.
**[08:05] ---**
How much?
**[08:06] ---**
Forget it.
**[08:07] ---**
What?
**[08:08] ---**
We're from the same island.
**[08:11] ---**
Thank you.
**[08:12] ---**
I felt weird asking for the
prescription myself, so--
**[08:14] ---**
The reason you can't sleep isn't
a physical thing, though, is it?
**[08:17] ---**
What?
**[08:18] ---**
It's what Eureka said.
**[08:20] ---**
About how the Secrets aren't
the enemy or something...
**[08:24] ---**
Isn't *that* what's been bugging you?
**[08:27] ---**
Don't make weird assumptions about me.
**[08:38] ---**
Shh!
**[08:41] ---**
Uh, now, allow me to make
the formal introductions.
**[08:45] ---**
This is the Secret found in the waters of Japan
**[08:49] ---**
that we gave sanctuary to.
**[08:53] ---**
Is it real?
**[08:54] ---**
Is it a living thing? Or...?
**[08:57] ---**
Organic and inorganic substances are
all jumbled together inside his body,
**[09:01] ---**
and scans using infrared or x-rays
**[09:04] ---**
reveal nothing of his internal structures.
**[09:06] ---**
We cannot positively say whether
he is a living thing or a machine.
**[09:09] ---**
However, unlike previous Secrets,
**[09:13] ---**
he emits a radio wave that falls
within a specific frequency band.
**[09:16] ---**
We determined that it was a signal of some sort
**[09:20] ---**
and we sent back a radio wave
at the same wavelength.
**[09:22] ---**
So, you followed the IAA's
First Contact Protocol?
**[09:26] ---**
What's that?
**[09:28] ---**
The International Academy of Astronautics.
**[09:30] ---**
We began with information that
is universal to the natural world,
**[09:33] ---**
such as cardinal numbers and prime numbers,
**[09:36] ---**
and then gradually taught him
the human linguistic system.
**[09:39] ---**
And as a result...
**[09:41] ---**
Send him the message,
"Can you understand this signal?"
**[09:57] ---**
That was unexpected.
**[09:59] ---**
The Japanese government putting
the Secret on public display.
**[10:03] ---**
Let's see what kind of trick they're employing.
**[10:07] ---**
But what if things are as they claim
**[10:10] ---**
and the Secrets really *are
*guarding this universe?
**[10:16] ---**
Surely not.
**[10:18] ---**
It's impossible.
**[10:21] ---**
Excuse me.
**[10:22] ---**
It's me.
**[10:24] ---**
What's going on?
**[10:26] ---**
What?!
**[10:35] ---**
Mr. Han Juno, I believe?
**[10:37] ---**
I've met your father a couple of times.
**[10:41] ---**
What's the Japanese government
got to do with a trapar business?
**[10:44] ---**
Our country is solely dependent
on financial dealings, you see.
**[10:47] ---**
Your father's company showed an interest in us.
**[10:50] ---**
We had no reason to turn them away.
**[10:59] ---**
On the US mainland?
**[11:02] ---**
Well, well...
**[11:12] ---**
I know we extracted the Quartz
from that Scub and stabilized it.
**[11:16] ---**
So how could this be happening now?
**[11:19] ---**
Historically speaking, there is not a single
record of a Scub Coral becoming active again.
**[11:24] ---**
According to the database...
**[11:27] ---**
We have reports that a Secret
has already appeared on-site.
**[11:34] ---**
So we just have to go and
defeat that thing, right?
**[11:47] ---**
I'm outside the ZOA, but I have
visual confirmation of the Secret.
**[11:51] ---**
Wait, but... It's humanoid?!
**[11:53] ---**
Fleur, now's our chance!
**[11:55] ---**
Right!
**[12:02] ---**
Mark!
**[12:03] ---**
Set!
**[12:04] ---**
Sensation!
**[12:12] ---**
We did it!
**[12:13] ---**
Huh?
**[12:15] ---**
No way! Not a scratch?!
**[12:17] ---**
Super Alloy?!
**[12:18] ---**
But the real stuff is made of zinc alloy...
**[12:21] ---**
You two, cover me!
**[12:23] ---**
W-Wait! Ao?!
**[12:25] ---**
Long-range attacks just
don't cut it against Secrets!
**[12:27] ---**
I'll take the Nirvash in to engage
in close-quarter combat and...
**[12:39] ---**
No way!
**[12:41] ---**
Those aren't missiles! How are
they even chasing after him?!
**[12:43] ---**
Get away, Ao!
**[12:44] ---**
I *am* trying to get away!
**[12:49] ---**
Damn it! Like hell I'm going to die!
**[12:57] ---**
Ao was shot down?!
**[12:59] ---**
They say his life's not in danger.
**[13:01] ---**
His rescue is being left to Pied Piper while we...
**[13:04] ---**
I still can't believe it.
**[13:07] ---**
That a plant became active again...
**[13:11] ---**
Protecting the plant is top priority.
**[13:13] ---**
Rescuing the wounded can come later.
**[13:17] ---**
What are you doing?!
Unauthorized personnel need to get off!
**[13:21] ---**
I hear Ao was shot down.
**[13:23] ---**
If you don't have enough people to retrieve him,
**[13:25] ---**
the Gazelle Agency will
take the subcontract on it.
**[13:29] ---**
He's right, we're shorthanded.
**[13:31] ---**
Accept his offer, Stanley.
**[13:42] ---**
Oh, what are we supposed to...
**[13:48] ---**
You bastard!
**[13:50] ---**
Don't approach it without taking precautions!
**[13:51] ---**
You won't be able to escape
once it locks on to you.
**[13:54] ---**
Locks on?
**[13:56] ---**
She's right...
**[13:58] ---**
Could this be what got the Nirvash, too?
**[14:09] ---**
Ao! Ao!
**[14:10] ---**
Come in, Ao!
**[14:12] ---**
Testing, testing. This is the Rakan.
**[14:15] ---**
I've retrieved the pilot.
**[14:17] ---**
Please take care of the IFO. Over.
**[14:20] ---**
This voice...
**[14:21] ---**
Why is he here?
**[14:24] ---**
You're... a good pilot.
**[14:26] ---**
Shut up!
**[14:40] ---**
5 to 1 and we've barely
evened the playing field.
**[14:44] ---**
We have calls coming in from various countries!
**[14:46] ---**
The same phenomenon of
plants becoming active again
**[14:48] ---**
is occurring all over the world.
**[15:06] ---**
Impossible! Our country's plant has...!
**[15:08] ---**
Couldn't it be a false alarm?
**[15:10] ---**
My call won't go through!
**[15:11] ---**
We are in the process of preparing
a hard line connection right now.
**[15:14] ---**
Please remain calm and wait one moment.
**[15:14] ---**
"Emergency Exit"
**[15:28] ---**
The demands are coming in
non-stop from all over the world.
**[15:32] ---**
From here on out, if any Secrets appear,
**[15:34] ---**
we'll immediately split up to deal with them.
**[15:36] ---**
Against those giants?!
**[15:38] ---**
The children will be run ragged!
**[15:40] ---**
We're responding separately
to them here as well.
**[15:42] ---**
Still, I don't know where they showed up from,
**[15:45] ---**
but now that every Scub has
been confirmed to have a Quartz,
**[15:48] ---**
it's only a matter of time...
**[15:58] ---**
This place is...
**[16:06] ---**
Chloe...
**[16:12] ---**
We've traded places since that one time.
**[16:15] ---**
What about the Nirvash?
**[16:17] ---**
Did I do it again?
**[16:19] ---**
You could say that.
**[16:21] ---**
Things have been a real pain thanks to you.
**[16:23] ---**
Sorry.
**[16:27] ---**
Say, Ao.
**[16:30] ---**
The Secrets *are* the enemy, right?
**[16:32] ---**
What?
**[16:34] ---**
Well? Are they?
**[16:36] ---**
Are they...? Easy for you to ask.
**[16:50] ---**
What the heck are you guys doing?
**[16:53] ---**
Shh!
**[16:56] ---**
Look.
**[16:58] ---**
A Coral plant...
**[17:01] ---**
It's glowing.
**[17:03] ---**
The Vesterålen Islands in Norway.
**[17:06] ---**
It's where my sis Maeve and I are from.
**[17:11] ---**
We all emigrated there together
from Ireland to work at the plant.
**[17:16] ---**
Just after I'd been born.
**[17:19] ---**
Where are your mother and father?
**[17:22] ---**
They still live there.
**[17:27] ---**
I don't want to lose anyone again.
**[17:31] ---**
Like we lost Bruno...
**[17:35] ---**
I'll protect them.
**[17:37] ---**
For sure, no matter what
kind of enemy shows up.
**[17:43] ---**
Sorry, but we're being called to scramble.
**[17:46] ---**
Are you up for it?
**[18:01] ---**
Say, in the end...
**[18:04] ---**
Isn't all this being caused by Eureka?
**[18:07] ---**
Ever since two or three of your ma showed up,
**[18:10] ---**
weird things just keep happening.
**[18:13] ---**
Even how Naru's gone all strange...
**[18:15] ---**
There's no way that's true.
**[18:16] ---**
But you know...
**[18:17] ---**
There's no way...
**[18:20] ---**
There's no way that can be true.
**[18:35] ---**
It's finally come.
**[18:37] ---**
At this rate, we can't possibly...
**[18:40] ---**
If there were at least some way
to gather them in one place...
**[18:45] ---**
I'll be the bait.
**[18:47] ---**
It came after the Nirvash that last time, too.
**[18:50] ---**
Ao!
**[18:51] ---**
But that was because there
were two Nirvash units, right?
**[18:55] ---**
Eureka... isn't here now.
**[18:58] ---**
Ao, Elena, Fleur...
**[19:00] ---**
Stand by in your respective cockpits
until we decide on our countermove.
**[19:03] ---**
But...!
**[19:04] ---**
We're going.
**[19:05] ---**
Oh, I-I'm still not...
**[19:06] ---**
Let's go.
**[19:07] ---**
But...
**[19:07] ---**
Come on, Ao.
**[19:14] ---**
We are in position.
**[19:16] ---**
If we use my auto-translation algorithm,
**[19:19] ---**
it should be possible to analyze
the so-called signal from the Secret
**[19:23] ---**
and transfer the data to our headquarters.
**[19:26] ---**
We're counting on you, Georg.
**[19:28] ---**
You bastards! What are you doing here?!
**[19:38] ---**
You...!
**[19:39] ---**
I remember seeing you among the observers...
**[19:43] ---**
What's that?
**[19:46] ---**
Signal captured...
**[19:52] ---**
Contact. Signal. Analyze.
Respond. Respond. Repond...
**[19:59] ---**
H-Hey, you okay?
**[20:03] ---**
Yes, I am okay. And you are?
**[20:08] ---**
I'm Han Juno of Generation Bleu...
**[20:11] ---**
I am what you people call a Secret.
**[20:17] ---**
Did we get hacked?
**[20:19] ---**
Secret, what are you?
**[20:22] ---**
Where did you come from? Who made you?
**[20:25] ---**
I was created to eliminate
foreign bodies from this universe.
**[20:30] ---**
From where? By whom? All through
the natural course of events.
**[20:36] ---**
What is this situation that is going on right now?
**[20:39] ---**
If you're really a Secret,
**[20:41] ---**
why did the Scubs all across
the globe become active again?
**[20:44] ---**
Ten years ago...
**[20:46] ---**
...a giant Quartz vanished from the
Scub in the land you call Okinawa.
**[20:53] ---**
And over the course of ten years,
that Quartz has now...
**[20:56] ---**
We get it already. Leave the Scubs to us.
**[20:59] ---**
We cannot do that.
**[21:02] ---**
Our sole objective is to
eliminate the Scub Corals.
**[21:05] ---**
As long as there are foreign bodies
called Scubs in this universe,
**[21:08] ---**
we will continue to pursue
them wherever they go.
**[21:11] ---**
I see.
**[21:12] ---**
If, as it says, Secrets automatically
react to things from other universes...
**[21:18] ---**
Don't get any stupid ideas, Blanc!
**[21:20] ---**
Big Blue World won't take it lying down!
**[21:25] ---**
Patch me through to the US Secretary of State.
**[21:28] ---**
This is extremely urgent.
**[21:31] ---**
But there's no other way.
**[21:32] ---**
What are you saying, Ao? Do you plan
to disobey the order to stand by?
**[21:36] ---**
What is it you want to discuss, Christophe?
**[21:40] ---**
There's no time, so I'll come right to the point.
**[21:43] ---**
The cause of the Scubs all across
the world going active again
**[21:46] ---**
lies with the substance called Quartz,
**[21:48] ---**
which you inquired about the other day.
**[21:50] ---**
Dad...
**[21:51] ---**
What is he...?
**[21:53] ---**
Cut the line! Immediately!
**[21:56] ---**
All the Secrets are appearing
in order to destroy the Quartz.
**[22:01] ---**
In that case, how could we
gather them all in one place?
**[22:04] ---**
We just need a massive amount of Quartz.
**[22:06] ---**
An amount greater than all the
Scubs of the world put together.
**[22:10] ---**
Where do we have such a
massive amount of Quartz?
**[22:13] ---**
Blanc! No! Don't say it!
**[22:15] ---**
We at Generation Bleu...
**[22:17] ---**
...have worked in absolute
secrecy to collect Quartz
**[22:20] ---**
from every Scub we have stabilized,
**[22:22] ---**
and we have them all stored out in space.
**[22:27] ---**
My company will now use them to wipe
out every last Secret that has appeared...
**[22:33] ---**
...around the world!
