[00:27] ---
    Vice President!
[00:30] ---
    Good work today, Vice President Ticy!
[00:32] ---
    Oh! Where are you two off to?
[00:36] ---
    Places!
[00:36] ---
    Hitting the town is nice and all;
    just remember your curfew, okay?
[00:41] ---
    Also, the end-of-year
    school meeting is soon--
[00:57] ---
    Their assignment in Alaska
    should be almost over, too.
[01:01] ---
    I look forward to
    seeing you, President Chiffon.
[01:14] ---
    Anti-Nova?!
[01:16] ---
    You know of it?!
[01:18] ---
    As I recall, it's the very first
    Volt Weapon Maria Lancelot produced.
[01:24] ---
    Maria?
[01:26] ---
    The "holy remains" we defended before.
[01:31] ---
    President Chiffon... Are you...?
[01:38] ---
    An Illusion Turn!
[01:53] ---
    High energy levels from Unknown!
[02:53] ---
    It's reconfiguring its
    shell to protect its core?!
[02:57] ---
    Don't tell me it's... evolving?!
[03:10] ---
    It seems the only way to stop you now...
[03:13] ---
    ...is to pay a similar cost myself.
[03:48] ---
    That form...
[03:50] ---
    It's almost like...!
[04:12] ---
    A single Pandora can do such things?!
[04:29] ---
    Captain!
[04:31] ---
    What is it?
[04:40] ---
    Zombies...
[04:41] ---
    That's my name! Don't wear it out!
[04:43] ---
    What's happening?!
[04:44] ---
    Not even a come-back?!
[05:24] ---
    They've merged into one?!
[05:37] ---
    How are we supposed
    to fight something like that?!
[06:06] ---
    Type-Maria amalgamation has vanished!
[06:09] ---
    No EPM signal at all!
[06:11] ---
    Unknown Nova remains unfazed!
[06:13] ---
    We've lost all traces of
    the Type-Maria amalgamation!
[06:17] ---
    No...
[06:19] ---
    Type-Maria has reappeared!
[06:21] ---
    Location...
[06:23] ---
    ...right next to the Type-Unknown!
[07:28] ---
    Maria... Lancelot...
[07:59] ---
    Just... what are the Nova?
[08:26] ---
    High energy levels from Unknown!
[08:29] ---
    The Photon Generator
    is within its firing range!
[08:32] ---
    It's going to land a direct hit!
[08:34] ---
    No!
[09:03] ---
    Beam has dissipated!
[09:05] ---
    Wow! She stopped it singlehandedly!
[09:07] ---
    And without a scratch!
[09:09] ---
    Without a scratch? I sincerely doubt that.
[09:19] ---
    Why?
[09:21] ---
    Why do you protect them?
[09:24] ---
    Surely you're aware.
[09:26] ---
    Of the sins they've committed...
[09:29] ---
    Of our sorrow...
[09:34] ---
    Yes. I'm aware, Amelia.
[09:52] ---
    I know what they--the
    humans--did to you.
[09:57] ---
    Then, why?
[09:59] ---
    You're different from them!
    You're not human like them!
[10:05] ---
    That's precisely why.
[10:08] ---
    Please.
[10:12] ---
    Would it be too much to ask of you
[10:15] ---
    to forgive the humans just this once?
[10:27] ---
    Type-Unknown has stopped!
[10:43] ---
    Surely you've realized it yourself.
[10:46] ---
    Humans are very weak creatures.
[10:54] ---
    Yet, as you are no longer human,
[11:00] ---
    what sense is there
    in you punishing them?
[11:09] ---
    You're on the verge of committing
    the same mistake as humans, you know.
[11:16] ---
    Besides, you have...
[11:34] ---
    You're a dear friend to me.
[11:39] ---
    ...Friends.
[11:41] ---
    Let's end this.
[11:47] ---
    I'm sorry!
[11:49] ---
    There's nothing I can do anymore!
[11:52] ---
    I don't want to drag my friends into this...
[11:54] ---
    I want to end this too, just like you do!
[11:59] ---
    But I can't hold back my hate!
[12:12] ---
    Abnormal change in Type-Unknown!
[12:15] ---
    --Localized Planck fluctuations!
[12:16] ---
    --Gamma scintillator, Level 5!
[12:17] ---
    D-turbulence detected!
[12:19] ---
    Extra-dimensional exposure!
[12:21] ---
    It's a Calabi-Yau incident!
[12:23] ---
    The Nova is changing shape!
[12:25] ---
    Turbulence level increasing!
[12:27] ---
    Level 3! 5! 7!
[12:30] ---
    Dimensional vibrations detected!
    Type S waveform!
[13:22] ---
    Dimensional compression near Unknown!
[13:25] ---
    Unknown is preparing to self-destruct!
[13:28] ---
    Attention, all personnel, Limiters,
    and Pandora engaged in combat!
[13:34] ---
    This is Gengo Aoi, Nova consultant
    for Chevalier General Command!
[13:39] ---
    The Nova intends to self-destruct
    and take out the Photon Generator!
[13:43] ---
    Evacuate to the emergency
    underground shelter at once!
[13:58] ---
    All personnel, evacuate
    to the shelter at once!
[14:01] ---
    I repeat! All personnel,
    evacuate to the shelter at once!
[14:05] ---
    Quickly! Hurry up!
[14:13] ---
    It's too late for us!
[14:16] ---
    Looks like it's "game over" for us.
[14:22] ---
    We need to hurry, Satelli, ma'am!
[14:30] ---
    Satellizer!
[14:32] ---
    President Chiffon!
    You need to evacuate too!
[14:36] ---
    It...
[14:38] ---
    ...really is nice to
    have friends, isn't it?
[14:41] ---
    That's why I absolutely
    will keep you safe!
[14:49] ---
    You idiot!
[14:51] ---
    What are you thinking?!
[15:01] ---
    Amelia's hatred runs so deep
    that not even she can hold it back now.
[15:07] ---
    In terms of good and evil,
    she views humanity as evil.
[15:13] ---
    Perhaps humanity *should
    *pay for what it's done.
[15:18] ---
    Even so...
[15:21] ---
    ...I don't want you--my friends--to die.
[15:30] ---
    That's so very selfish, isn't it?
[15:32] ---
    Look at me;
    I'm acting like a human myself.
[15:36] ---
    Chiffon?
[15:38] ---
    So, like a human,
    I've made one last, selfish decision.
[15:43] ---
    To protect my friends.
[15:46] ---
    You're not making any sense.
    What are you talking about?
[15:51] ---
    No one's going to die!
[15:52] ---
    Not you, or anyone else!
[15:54] ---
    So hurry up!
[15:56] ---
    Satellizer el Bridget.
[15:59] ---
    Please cherish the time
    I'm about to give you.
[16:40] ---
    The explosion's stopped!
[16:59] ---
    Thank you...
[17:01] ---
    No, this disaster would've
    been unpreventable
[17:04] ---
    had it not been for your wish to
    avoid being swallowed by your hatred.
[17:10] ---
    So, now it is my turn.
[17:13] ---
    Huh?!
[17:15] ---
    I've decided to keep my friends safe.
[17:20] ---
    I believe the cost for
    doing so will be great.
[17:24] ---
    Chiffon Fairchild! You're...!
[17:28] ---
    By doing this...
[17:33] ---
    ...my hope is that humanity can pay
    for the sins it has committed against you.
[18:16] ---
    Rattle!
[18:20] ---
    Do you think we could call things even now?
[18:53] ---
    Seek out and open your heart
[18:55] ---
    True pain will usher in tomorrow
[18:58] ---
    The world will embrace our wounds
[18:58] ---
    Ticy...
[19:02] ---
    Student Council President?
[19:12] ---
    Ticy.
[19:14] ---
    Don't be hurt all by yourself
[19:16] ---
    I can count on you to
    be my replacement, yes?
[19:19] ---
    Those are the words
    I always wanted to hear

[19:25] ---
    Show off the futures
    that are sealed away

[19:26] ---
    You are the most powerful
    Pandora, after all.
[19:30] ---
    Show off their sparkle
[19:30] ---
    No...
[19:32] ---
    It's too much for
    someone like me to handle...
[19:35] ---
    Chiffon...
[19:36] ---
    Wishful heartbeats
    will wash away the sadness

[19:37] ---
    Without you, I'm...
[19:39] ---
    No. You'll be just fine, Ticy.
[19:40] ---
    What I want to share is
    the certain warmth of dreams

[19:43] ---
    It's like I used to say, no matter
    how painful things might get,
[19:46] ---
    Seek out and open your heart
[19:48] ---
    as long as you keep smiling,
    happiness will be yours.
[19:48] ---
    True pain will usher in tomorrow
[19:51] ---
    While the world embraces our wounds
[19:52] ---
    So, until we meet again...
[19:56] ---
    ...keep smiling.
[19:56] ---
    I will search for meaning,
    and even if I find nothing at all

[20:03] ---
    I'll never give up! I'll go!
[20:07] ---
    Ignite your life...
[20:07] ---
    Chiffon...
[20:09] ---
    Now is everything!
[20:09] ---
    We will meet again, for sure.
[20:15] ---
    Inside those cold, frozen eyes
[20:20] ---
    is a lonely little girl
    who wants to believe

[20:24] ---
    What is this sensation?
[20:25] ---
    She sets foot into the
    wasteland, wanting to believe

[20:27] ---
    It's nothing like the
    Nova's mental deterioration!
[20:30] ---
    It's like... it's healing our wounds!
[20:31] ---
    that this labyrinth leads to the future
[20:33] ---
    Yes...
[20:34] ---
    Oh, man... I'm startin' to
    feel all mushy and sentimental...
[20:36] ---
    She wants a piece
    of a wish to be born here

[20:41] ---
    She wants to help it grow,
    yet her dreams are always cruel

[20:42] ---
    What is this?
[20:45] ---
    You don't know?
[20:46] ---
    Let the strength of our bond reach you
[20:48] ---
    It could only be one thing.
[20:49] ---
    The light of prayer is fading, though
[20:51] ---
    It's love.
[20:51] ---
    Hope remains unspoken and unfulfilled
[20:53] ---
    Love that Chiffon left us.
[20:57] ---
    and nothing makes sense;
    I can't stop the trembling in my heart

[21:00] ---
    Sis...
[21:03] ---
    Chiffon...
[21:03] ---
    So now our paths part, only one way!!
[21:04] ---
    What I said about
    being worthy of contempt...
[21:08] ---
    Oh, what an ephemeral fate
[21:09] ---
    Allow me to take it back.
[21:23] ---
    From what little I heard
    of what happened afterward,
[21:26] ---
    No, you haven't forsaken the future yet
[21:28] ---
    the E-Pandora Rattle
    managed to survive,
[21:32] ---
    as did Amelia.
[21:35] ---
    The effects of all the biochemical
    experiments conducted on her
[21:36] ---
    Even through pain and
    sadness, you'll persevere

[21:40] ---
    have been completely wiped away,
[21:43] ---
    and the body tissues she lost
    should be restored any time now.
[21:47] ---
    I'm sure of it!
[21:48] ---
    Let the strength of our bond reach you
[21:48] ---
    Dr. Ohara was rescued as well,
    but she has yet to regain consciousness.
[21:51] ---
    The light of prayer is fading, though
[21:54] ---
    Hope remains unspoken and unfulfilled
[21:54] ---
    The director of the project,
    Spencer, was taken into custody
[21:58] ---
    and the E-Pandora Project
    was permanently discontinued.
[21:59] ---
    and nothing makes sense;
    I can't stop the trembling in my heart

[22:03] ---
    And...
[22:05] ---
    You're taking a break
    from being a Pandora?!
[22:05] ---
    So now our paths part, only one way!!
[22:07] ---
    Yes.
[22:09] ---
    Who's going to lead West Genetics now?!
[22:09] ---
    Seek out and open your heart
[22:12] ---
    Chiffon's gone too!
[22:12] ---
    True pain will usher in tomorrow
[22:14] ---
    I fully expect the criticism coming to me.
[22:15] ---
    While the world embraces our wounds
[22:17] ---
    But...
[22:20] ---
    I will search for meaning,
    and even if I find nothing at all

[22:20] ---
    ...I can't simply leave Andrei behind...
[22:25] ---
    ...and team up with another Limiter.
[22:27] ---
    I'll never give up! I'll go!
[22:31] ---
    Ignite your life...
[22:33] ---
    And shine all you can now...
[22:37] ---
    As for me, after seeing everything through,
[22:40] ---
    I returned to Japan
    a little after the others.
[22:45] ---
    Kazuya!
[22:46] ---
    --Welcome back!
[22:47] ---
    --Yeah...
[22:50] ---
    What are you doing, you
    ignorant country girl?!
[22:52] ---
    If I am a country girl,
    then you are just his helper!
[22:56] ---
    His helper!
[22:57] ---
    Will you quit with that?! I don't
    remember ever admitting that I'm--!
[23:10] ---
    I would've stayed if there was
    no one fit to lead West Genetics.
[23:16] ---
    But it's because I'm certain
    there's no need to worry
[23:20] ---
    that I'm taking this
    selfish course of action.
[23:22] ---
    Who besides you could
    possibly replace Chiffon?
[23:40] ---
    Ticy Phenyl...
