**[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...
