*The shining horizon*
**[00:31] ---**
*Where beginning and end meld together*
**[00:37] ---**
*That's where tears come from*
**[00:42] ---**
*With a trembling hand,*
**[00:44] ---**
*I stuffed my pocket full
of the things I believed in*
**[00:50] ---**
*A mirage wavering in the distance*
**[01:00] ---**
*Looking up at the sky, like a guiding beacon*
**[01:04] ---**
*A familiar, warm light*
**[01:08] ---**
*Granting me that, you give a little wave*
**[01:15] ---**
*I have to go, I won't cry anymore, Shangri-La*
**[01:19] ---**
*I'll dive into a new world*
**[01:23] ---**
*In the embrace of this color blue*
**[01:30] ---**
*With this thrilling in my heart for company*
**[01:46] ---**
From underground?
**[01:48] ---**
Could it be Blanc?!
**[01:56] ---**
JJ.
**[01:58] ---**
Oh, Miss Elena,
**[01:59] ---**
neither the Kyrie nor the Alleluia
are in any shape to go out yet--
**[02:01] ---**
What're those?
**[02:05] ---**
Oh, they're prototypes.
**[02:07] ---**
The Requiem, the Gloria, and the Credo.
**[02:10] ---**
The Credo...
**[02:19] ---**
Dad? Dad?
**[02:21] ---**
Answer me, Dad!
**[02:25] ---**
Fleur...
**[02:39] ---**
Trapars...
**[02:40] ---**
What?
**[02:42] ---**
A fusion blast.
**[02:44] ---**
Georg?
**[02:46] ---**
No, are you the Secret?
**[02:48] ---**
What do you mean, a fusion blast?
**[02:50] ---**
Christophe Blanc must have hit Truth
with all the Quartz he had left.
**[02:55] ---**
Because Truth was also a Secret, after all.
**[02:58] ---**
What?
**[03:00] ---**
And Dad? What about Dad?!
**[03:02] ---**
In order to completely destroy Quartz,
**[03:05] ---**
which are invaders from another dimension,
**[03:07] ---**
Secrets annihilate the very
space around the Quartz.
**[03:12] ---**
Don't play games with me!
**[03:16] ---**
They told us earlier, remember?!
**[03:18] ---**
Georg got messed up by the Secret!
**[03:20] ---**
It's absolutely got to be his fault that--
**[03:21] ---**
But your father said that maybe
the Secrets weren't the enemy.
**[03:29] ---**
There are no absolutes anywhere.
**[03:45] ---**
Hurry.
**[03:46] ---**
There's no knowing how
long the power will last.
**[03:50] ---**
Commander, are we still not charging in there?
**[03:53] ---**
I want to avoid having to compel them.
**[03:55] ---**
We're going to wait them out until
they step forward with their hands up.
**[03:58] ---**
Maybe it's because we act like this that
they manage to do things like hide stuff.
**[04:04] ---**
It seems we can't get a read
on Blanc's ID badge. However--
**[04:07] ---**
It means that he was the
stupid CEO to the very end.
**[04:11] ---**
Even if we want to search for him,
with how things are--
**[04:13] ---**
The Allied Forces' attack will end shortly.
**[04:16] ---**
What they're after is the Quartz Gun.
**[04:19] ---**
If we hand it over...
**[04:20] ---**
The Quartz Gun is safe.
**[04:22] ---**
It's still securely located on the deepest level.
**[04:24] ---**
What are you going to do?
Are you going to hand that gun over?
**[04:35] ---**
Any further discussion would be--
**[04:36] ---**
I'm against it.
**[04:39] ---**
I tried to join the Allied Forces at one point,
**[04:42] ---**
so this may sound unconvincing...
**[04:44] ---**
But the CEO told us that we'll
be able to figure out what's right.
**[04:49] ---**
What else could be right in this
situation other than to survive?
**[04:53] ---**
I haven't been able to
figure out what's right yet.
**[04:57] ---**
But if we don't step up to the plate now,
**[04:59] ---**
I feel like we may never figure it out!
**[05:01] ---**
That's the logic of a terrorist!
**[05:03] ---**
You should talk. You blindly obeyed
the higher-ups and erased Georg.
**[05:07] ---**
I had no other choice!
It was to protect everyone!
**[05:10] ---**
Fighting has never been an
option to begin with, Ao Fukai.
**[05:15] ---**
You know what this is, right?
**[05:18] ---**
It can't be!
**[05:19] ---**
All the main systems were
wiped clean simultaneously!
**[05:22] ---**
The pilot terminals have sectors
with high security levels.
**[05:27] ---**
If we copy it off this,
the Triton will be able to fly?
**[05:31] ---**
Ivica?!
**[05:37] ---**
If you take the center shaft,
you can get to the deepest level, but...
**[05:43] ---**
I'll go.
**[05:45] ---**
We can't leave the gun behind.
**[05:47] ---**
Ao...
**[05:52] ---**
Don't worry.
**[05:53] ---**
Even without Georg, the Nirvash can--
**[05:55] ---**
Fire the gun, Ao.
**[05:57] ---**
I can't do that.
**[06:06] ---**
As soon as Georg is reinstalled on the Triton,
**[06:09] ---**
link them up to the
electromagnetic catapult controls!
**[06:12] ---**
Prepare for the launch and equip
the IFOs at the same time!
**[06:15] ---**
Don't rush things!
**[06:17] ---**
Alex, we need some mechanics to volunteer.
**[06:19] ---**
If you put out a call for volunteers,
you'll end up taking them all.
**[06:30] ---**
Mr. Alex, you can't open this gate?
**[06:32] ---**
Past Gate 20, it's restricted territory.
**[06:35] ---**
They can't be opened remotely.
**[06:37] ---**
It's okay, then? I'm destroying them!
**[06:46] ---**
Are they still not surrendering?
**[06:48] ---**
Maggie, look.
**[06:49] ---**
What?
**[06:57] ---**
They've surrendered?
**[06:58] ---**
No, it's just the residential zones
**[07:00] ---**
and the general population
that's been released.
**[07:05] ---**
I really hate this sort of thing.
**[07:08] ---**
It's like we're the bad guys.
**[07:18] ---**
Do you plan to go back to Big Blue World?
**[07:20] ---**
I was sent here by the higher-ups
to begin with, you know.
**[07:24] ---**
So that the main office could
control Generation Bleu.
**[07:28] ---**
Big Blue World is the world's
largest PR company, you know.
**[07:31] ---**
If they deem the Secrets to be evil,
the whole world will follow suit.
**[07:36] ---**
That's how they've convinced people
**[07:37] ---**
that trapars are a necessity
for mankind all this time...
**[07:41] ---**
Rebecka, I...
**[07:43] ---**
You know the burden that I bear!
**[07:46] ---**
I can't drop that so easily!
**[07:47] ---**
The cell to get things moving
is this one, isn't it?
**[07:51] ---**
We're going to use this cell of Ao's
and restore the Triton's system.
**[07:56] ---**
How many minutes would it take you?
**[07:58] ---**
Chief, I...
**[08:01] ---**
If the children are going to
choose the field of battle,
**[08:03] ---**
I want to at least protect them to the very end.
**[08:07] ---**
Won't you help me?
**[08:09] ---**
That's our responsibility.
**[08:12] ---**
Are you saying... that you need me?
**[08:24] ---**
Please give me seven minutes!
**[08:27] ---**
Nice work.
**[08:29] ---**
So?
**[08:31] ---**
What's the Gazelle Agency going to do?
**[08:33] ---**
For now, we'll serve as this
gal's handler or something.
**[08:38] ---**
Any response from Christophe Blanc?
**[08:41] ---**
None, sir.
**[08:42] ---**
It appears the evacuation of the
civilians and those who surrendered
**[08:44] ---**
is now complete.
**[08:46] ---**
The number of people who can make
it out in such a short amount of time
**[08:48] ---**
has got to be miniscule.
**[08:51] ---**
Open fire!
**[08:53] ---**
Opening fire!
**[09:13] ---**
Technical Director, have we got the gun yet?!
**[09:15] ---**
Of course not! We have to
break through *fifteen* gates!
**[09:20] ---**
How is the defense grid holding up?
**[09:21] ---**
It's operational.
**[09:23] ---**
But it can't keep up with the
speed of the Allied Forces IFOs!
**[09:31] ---**
He's not even a child and that kind of mobility...
**[09:33] ---**
You can't do that sort of thing
unless you can see trapars.
**[09:37] ---**
But that's impossible...!
**[09:38] ---**
I can see them!
**[09:39] ---**
I can see the trapar waves, too!
**[09:48] ---**
The power to the catapult is getting unstable!
**[09:50] ---**
Chief, hurry! Authorize our launch!
**[09:52] ---**
At this rate...
**[09:53] ---**
No! We wait for Ao to return!
**[09:55] ---**
But, sir...
**[09:56] ---**
This is the Nirvash.
Please launch the Triton!
**[10:00] ---**
What's the meaning of this, Ao?!
**[10:02] ---**
It'll be faster for the Nirvash
to escape from the deepest level
**[10:05] ---**
than for the Triton to get launched
by the catapult from there!
**[10:08] ---**
Hurry!
**[10:15] ---**
Launch the Triton.
**[10:16] ---**
--Ao, don't push yourself too hard.
--Launching the Triton.
**[10:18] ---**
--Roger!
--Launching the Triton!
**[10:22] ---**
Ao...
**[10:35] ---**
We don't have a confirmed
location for the Mark I?
**[10:38] ---**
No, sir. We lost the signal from its
transmitter a couple minutes ago.
**[10:42] ---**
They caught on to us... or...
**[10:45] ---**
Energy reading detected from
beneath the Generation Bleu HQ!
**[10:48] ---**
What?!
**[10:49] ---**
The energy readings are increasing and...
**[10:51] ---**
...e-expanding toward the surface!
**[11:00] ---**
This place is...
**[11:08] ---**
The CEO...
**[11:13] ---**
The gauge for the Third Engine!
**[11:15] ---**
Glowing with color like this...
**[11:18] ---**
Nirvash, what do these indicators mean?!
**[11:21] ---**
Could this be... the Quartz Gun?!
**[11:44] ---**
S-Self-destruction?!
**[11:45] ---**
Generation Bleu HQ has self-destructed!
**[11:47] ---**
Wait! Could that be...
**[11:50] ---**
...Quartz?!
**[12:07] ---**
Launch the Triton!
**[12:46] ---**
No matter how terrible a thing you are...
**[12:51] ---**
...I won't fear you anymore!
**[13:17] ---**
What was that? Was that also...
**[13:20] ---**
...one of the powers of the Quartz Gun?
**[13:25] ---**
What is this?
**[13:27] ---**
Hey, what is this, Elena?!
**[13:43] ---**
A-Ao Fukai, if you shoot us,
the world really will become your...
**[13:49] ---**
So, what does it mean to rectify their mistake?
**[13:52] ---**
--Ao! Calm down, Ao!
--What's right?!
**[14:03] ---**
Reinforcements?
**[14:05] ---**
Calm down, Ao.
**[14:07] ---**
Mom Hannah?!
**[14:41] ---**
Just before the explosion,
we escaped aboard the Great Proteus.
**[14:46] ---**
But over 200 of the crew failed to get away.
**[14:49] ---**
That's...
**[14:51] ---**
At any rate, come join up
with us. This situation--
**[14:53] ---**
Ivica, we've already discussed
this with Big Blue World.
**[14:57] ---**
Team Harlequin is joining the Allied Forces.
**[15:01] ---**
Mom Hannah!
**[15:02] ---**
What are you saying?!
**[15:03] ---**
Even in the atmosphere,
**[15:05] ---**
Harlequin's IFOs are capable of
performing to their fullest potential.
**[15:08] ---**
With you guys--
**[15:09] ---**
Blanc is no longer with us!
**[15:12] ---**
What can we do with what we have now?
**[15:14] ---**
Isn't that right, Ivica?
**[15:18] ---**
I see.
**[15:20] ---**
So that's what this is about.
**[15:22] ---**
Does this mean
Team Harlequin is our enemy now?
**[15:25] ---**
Ao, we're retreating.
**[15:28] ---**
Chief...
**[15:29] ---**
We're shifting into ballistic flight immediately.
**[15:31] ---**
Come back.
**[15:33] ---**
Roger.
**[15:42] ---**
Maybe that'll have bought
us a little time at least.
**[15:46] ---**
Rajkumar, is that signal still being transmitted?
**[15:50] ---**
Yes, it's going strong.
**[15:52] ---**
I swear, they take so much looking after.
**[16:03] ---**
Fleur.
**[16:04] ---**
Ao, there's something wrong with Elena.
**[16:07] ---**
She won't come out of the Kyrie.
**[16:08] ---**
Elena won't?
**[16:10] ---**
Elena!
**[16:11] ---**
What's wrong, Elena?
**[16:13] ---**
I'm opening it!
**[16:16] ---**
Elena!
**[16:18] ---**
"Help"
**[16:24] ---**
Elena...
**[16:30] ---**
Elena Peoples, wasn't it?
**[16:33] ---**
That was the name on the ID I picked
up when I came over to this world.
**[16:38] ---**
Yeah, I know.
**[16:39] ---**
It seems you took part in our
intelligence operations as well.
**[16:44] ---**
What's the matter? Did you fall behind?
**[16:48] ---**
Do you want me?
**[16:50] ---**
I do.
**[16:51] ---**
Then you can have me.
**[16:56] ---**
By the way...
**[16:58] ---**
Why hide your face now, this late in the game?
**[17:00] ---**
Hmm, a symbolic expression of
her status as a traitor, I suppose?
**[17:07] ---**
Then shall we get matching looks as well?
**[17:10] ---**
Hold on a second!
**[17:11] ---**
I'm picking up something
that's separate from that signal!
**[17:15] ---**
What's this?!
**[17:17] ---**
What are we detecting here?!
**[17:18] ---**
I don't know.
**[17:20] ---**
But something is rising up from
beneath the ruins of the HQ!
**[17:36] ---**
Th-That's...!
**[17:38] ---**
What in the world is that?!
**[17:39] ---**
See?
**[17:40] ---**
I told you that it's a given for there
to be something in the basement.
**[17:48] ---**
Impossible! The IFO Zero?!
**[17:51] ---**
Damn! So Blanc *was* hiding it!
**[17:55] ---**
All three of you, pull back!
**[17:57] ---**
What is this, Mom?!
**[17:59] ---**
Code name, Canon.
**[18:01] ---**
Canon?
**[18:03] ---**
It was excavated from the remains
of a Scub Burst in the Soviet Union.
**[18:06] ---**
It's a craft that closely resembles an IFO.
**[18:09] ---**
But no one was able to control it.
**[18:12] ---**
A great swath of land,
from Siberia to northern China,
**[18:15] ---**
was instantly annihilated.
**[18:17] ---**
I thought that was due to
a series of Scub Bursts...
**[18:21] ---**
No.
**[18:23] ---**
But we also figured out that it
couldn't function without trapars,
**[18:26] ---**
so Blanc and the others
quietly took custody of it.
**[18:30] ---**
Who in the world...?
**[18:36] ---**
My appearance...
**[18:39] ---**
My awareness...
**[18:44] ---**
What are you?
**[18:49] ---**
Archetype?
**[18:51] ---**
So that's your name?
**[18:54] ---**
Whatever.
**[18:56] ---**
Right now, you and I are one!
**[19:33] ---**
Faisal Arabia has floated the
idea of possibly receiving us.
**[19:36] ---**
Wow, so we still have allies out there, too.
**[19:39] ---**
They're hostile towards the US,
so I'll bet they just want weapons.
**[19:43] ---**
But we'll eventually have to
land in some country or other
**[19:46] ---**
and get resupplied.
**[19:48] ---**
We can't stay up in the air forever, I suppose.
**[19:51] ---**
China and Australia have also both
issued official statements denouncing us.
**[19:57] ---**
They say they will open fire
if we violate their airspace.
**[20:03] ---**
Wait. Hey, you've got
reception even up in space?
**[20:06] ---**
Yeah, because I have it
on a network connection.
**[20:09] ---**
The Triton's connection... Wait, hey...
**[20:12] ---**
This is...
**[20:17] ---**
I wonder if this means that
there's nowhere for us to run to...
**[20:27] ---**
A pleasure to meet you, everyone.
**[20:29] ---**
My name is Yamaoka and I am
with the Japanese Cabinet Office.
**[20:33] ---**
In accordance with our
agreement with Christophe Blanc,
**[20:35] ---**
we will provide your team with
supplies such as food and fuel
**[20:40] ---**
and authorize your use of the
Japan Armed Forces' air bases.
**[20:42] ---**
The Japan Armed Forces?
**[20:44] ---**
What are you saying?! You guys
have always had it in for us!
**[20:47] ---**
You must not get the wrong idea.
**[20:50] ---**
We were the ones who negotiated
this deal with Christophe Blanc.
**[20:53] ---**
The Secrets?!
**[20:54] ---**
However, we are not accustomed
to the ways of mankind,
**[20:58] ---**
so we had the Japanese government
**[20:59] ---**
act as our point man to
work out this agreement.
**[21:02] ---**
What is this agreement?
**[21:04] ---**
In terms of the conditions,
**[21:06] ---**
the Nirvash and any IFO teams
that still remain at that time
**[21:11] ---**
will put their all into eliminating
the Quartz in the Scub Corals.
**[21:15] ---**
The Secrets will cease to make
appearances until that is complete.
**[21:18] ---**
In other words, you will not
trigger any Scub Bursts.
**[21:21] ---**
The mass of Quartz,
which you call the Quartz Gun,
**[21:25] ---**
is an incredibly dangerous object.
**[21:27] ---**
I know.
**[21:28] ---**
But if you won't accept these terms...
**[21:32] ---**
...we will use that gun.
**[21:37] ---**
Roger that.
**[21:38] ---**
We will discuss this with the Japanese
government and come to a conclusion.
**[21:42] ---**
Even if I should die while
this agreement is in effect,
**[21:45] ---**
my daughter, Fleur Blanc,
will take over the agreement.
**[21:49] ---**
What the heck... Without telling me...
**[21:52] ---**
I have ended up robbing her of everything.
**[21:55] ---**
A normal life... A kind mother...
**[21:59] ---**
There's nothing else that I can leave her.
**[22:02] ---**
Only the future.
**[22:15] ---**
So that mankind is never subjected to
the threat of Scub Bursts ever again,
**[22:20] ---**
we will eliminate the Quartz
**[22:21] ---**
and enter into a peace accord with the Secrets.
**[22:24] ---**
To that end, we will sponsor Team Pied Piper.
**[22:34] ---**
"To Be Continued"
**[22:35] ---**
To be continued!
**[22:38] ---**
*This uncertain world of mine now*
**[22:43] ---**
*Begins to change and expand
in the blink of an eye*
**[23:00] ---**
*Where is the rest of the dream
that I found that day?*
**[23:06] ---**
*Just watch, I'll find it soon enough*
**[23:11] ---**
*Even now, I alone remember*
**[23:17] ---**
*The familiar old warmth*
**[23:22] ---**
*So, shall I get going now?*
**[23:27] ---**
*The fate awaiting me*
**[23:33] ---**
*Frightened and paralyzed me*
**[23:38] ---**
*To never be lost ever again*
**[23:43] ---**
*I'll grow stronger*
**[23:47] ---**
*Even the past I can never return to*
**[23:52] ---**
*I'll build upon, starting tomorrow*
**[23:58] ---**
*That's what I'll do to overcome it all*
**[24:03] ---**
*And that's how I'll become me*
**[24:08] ---**
"Preview"
**[24:12] ---**
Next time on *Eureka Seven AO*.
**[24:15] ---**
Acting in accordance with
the words Blanc left them with,
**[24:16] ---**
Ao and the others land in Japan.
**[24:18] ---**
Seeking the true world that she belongs to,
**[24:21] ---**
Elena has decided to fight
as part of the Allied Forces.
**[24:24] ---**
Ao's former friend now
comes to stand in his way.
