**[00:35] ---**
What happened?!
**[00:36] ---**
How are Bellows and the others?!
What about the pirates?!
**[00:42] ---**
There is no loss of personnel
to the defensive side's vessel.
**[00:46] ---**
The enemy force has been annihilated.
**[00:48] ---**
Annihilated... You murdered
all of the pirates?!
**[00:52] ---**
Affirmative. The enemy
force has been annihilated.
**[01:00] ---**
Ledo, you idiot!
**[01:06] ---**
What was that about?
***SIGN*** The Villainous Empress
**[02:44] ---**
The pirate convoy was wiped out?
**[02:46] ---**
Not just their fleet. All of the
bastards who boarded my boat, too.
**[02:51] ---**
With them dead, it's a sure bet the
others will come, hellbent on revenge.
**[02:56] ---**
They really botched this up.
**[02:58] ---**
Fleet Comander! We need to get rid
of that boy as soon as possible.
**[03:03] ---**
How about handing him over to the pirates?
**[03:06] ---**
Maybe that will cool them off?
**[03:08] ---**
Hey, hold up! You're seriously talking
about makin' a deal with pirates?!
**[03:12] ---**
Then what would you have us do?
**[03:13] ---**
Like I've been sayin', just keep
the Yunboro and as for the kid...
**[03:16] ---**
What we need to do right now...
**[03:19] ---**
...is find out what the pirates have
in mind, then formulate a plan.
**[03:23] ---**
We can decide on how to
deal with the boy later.
**[03:28] ---**
I never imagined something
like this happening...
**[03:31] ---**
What he said about battling
in outer space was true...
**[03:35] ---**
Maybe I shouldn't have opened my big mouth...
**[03:40] ---**
I've been looking for you, Amy!
**[03:43] ---**
I've got a little favor to ask.
**[03:49] ---**
They really hate me...
**[03:51] ---**
Their response defies rational analysis...
**[03:56] ---**
I thought it might lead to negotiating...
**[03:59] ---**
A flying object is overhead.
**[04:03] ---**
It's Amy and Bellows! Lower the guns!
**[04:18] ---**
Um, look...
**[04:20] ---**
Sorry I yelled at you before. Are you mad?
**[04:24] ---**
No problem. There is no need to apologize.
**[04:27] ---**
Really? Good.
**[04:30] ---**
I'm Bellows. I've been
wanting to speak with you...
**[04:34] ---**
Here's a little present.
**[04:36] ---**
It seems she wishes you to
consume the animal carcass.
**[04:39] ---**
Again?!
**[04:42] ---**
Ledo... That's your name, right?
**[04:45] ---**
Why did you slaughter the pirates?
**[04:52] ---**
Does eliminating the enemy require a reason?
**[04:57] ---**
I don't know how things are in space,
**[04:59] ---**
but here taking a life is
something that must be justified.
**[05:05] ---**
It is not an issue when you
kill a living thing for food?
**[05:11] ---**
Certainly, we kill fish and birds to eat.
**[05:15] ---**
But only enough for us to survive.
**[05:19] ---**
We don't take lives needlessly.
**[05:22] ---**
Furthermore, the pirates are
human. We're the same species!
**[05:26] ---**
You mustn't take lives lightly.
**[05:30] ---**
If it is forbidden to shed human blood,
**[05:35] ---**
why do you possess weapons?
**[05:36] ---**
If someone feels like it, they
could rob you of your life.
**[05:39] ---**
Pirates use that threat to try to
get people to do what they want.
**[05:43] ---**
And so our attitude is that we're not
just gonna roll over and die for them.
**[05:48] ---**
Displaying arms to each other is
a kind of negotiation in itself.
**[05:57] ---**
We have this expression. "Give fresh
water to the one who catches the fish."
**[06:05] ---**
Are those words a recommendation
for humans to aid each other?
**[06:09] ---**
That's right. Because we can't survive
unless everybody brings something.
**[06:16] ---**
But the pirates do not adhere to that rule.
**[06:19] ---**
Of course we don't agree with that.
**[06:24] ---**
We're not letting any pirates have
our lives or our possessions!
**[06:29] ---**
But our message is,"There's
no profit in attacking us."
**[06:35] ---**
It's enough just to communicate that to them.
**[06:38] ---**
But add death to the mix,
that changes things.
**[06:42] ---**
In order to regain their stance
as the threatening side,
**[06:45] ---**
they're left in the position of
having to spill even more blood.
**[06:54] ---**
I understand the situation.
**[06:56] ---**
Good.
**[06:57] ---**
Anyway, no matter what people say, we need
your power for run-ins with the pirates.
**[07:05] ---**
This is a communication device.
**[07:06] ---**
Eventually, I'll want you
to speak to the others.
**[07:10] ---**
Even if it didn't end up as it should, you saved me.
**[07:14] ---**
This bird is my thanks for that. See you.
**[07:23] ---**
Say, Ledo...
**[07:25] ---**
If you don't have a place
to go, why not stay here?
**[07:30] ---**
I think we'll find a way to
make things turn out smoothly.
**[07:35] ---**
She wants me to live on
this boat? Yeah, right...
**[07:37] ---**
Shall I refuse?
**[07:39] ---**
No. Don't refuse.
**[07:41] ---**
I will consider it.
**[07:42] ---**
Promise?! You really will consider it?
**[07:47] ---**
Well, I'll be getting back...
**[07:50] ---**
Ledo, I'm grateful to you for
protecting Bellows's ship.
**[07:55] ---**
Bye!
**[08:02] ---**
Thank you so much!
**[08:06] ---**
Such a peculiar phrase...
**[08:20] ---**
I understand the situation.
**[08:23] ---**
You can leave.
**[08:27] ---**
I never did like them,
**[08:31] ---**
but I didn't think they'd
dare mess with us like this.
**[08:34] ---**
Captain, that flying Yunboro worries me...
**[08:37] ---**
Marocchi...
**[08:38] ---**
Making a fuss over a little incident
like that only makes them cockier.
**[08:43] ---**
Yes, sir...
**[08:45] ---**
And what happens to those
who would get cocky with us?
**[08:49] ---**
No matter what secret weapon they
may have, they're no match for me.
**[08:59] ---**
Captain, fleet at 3 o'clock...
and there's a ton of ships!
**[09:03] ---**
What?!
**[09:05] ---**
Those are pirates!
**[09:08] ---**
Commander Worm, incoming message
from the cargo ship Atuy!
**[09:12] ---**
They've spotted a large pirate
fleet in neighboring waters!
**[09:14] ---**
So they're here?
**[09:15] ---**
They wish to interlock with our
fleet for emergency shelter.
**[09:23] ---**
He said the pirate fleet
has at least 30 ships.
**[09:27] ---**
30 ships? Almost all of
the pirates in this area?!
**[09:31] ---**
Moreover, he said they saw a
lobster insignia among them.
**[09:36] ---**
The Great Pirate, Lukkage!
**[09:38] ---**
What's their course?
**[09:39] ---**
They were spotted here.
**[09:42] ---**
At that point, it seems they
were heading east by southeast.
**[09:50] ---**
It's safe to say their
objective is our fleet.
**[09:53] ---**
We'll encounter them by
nightfall. Let's change course!
**[09:57] ---**
There's no point. We don't
have the speed to get away.
**[10:00] ---**
But they've got 30 pirate ships, all
loaded to the gills with firepower.
**[10:06] ---**
Even including the small patrol boats,
our escort fleet has just 15 ships...
**[10:11] ---**
There's no way they can protect us.
**[10:16] ---**
And trying to negotiate with them...?
**[10:22] ---**
They're coming for revenge.
**[10:24] ---**
Only spilled blood will satisfy them.
**[10:33] ---**
Fleet Commander...
**[10:35] ---**
Let's ask that kid to help us.
**[10:37] ---**
W-What are you saying?!
**[10:40] ---**
Can you hear me, Ledo?
**[10:43] ---**
Do you want something?
**[10:45] ---**
The pirates are heading this way. We'll
have to tangle with them by this evening.
**[10:50] ---**
I have already acquired the
approaching fleet target.
**[10:54] ---**
I am prepared to assist you.
**[10:58] ---**
Is that what you wish?
**[10:59] ---**
Fleet Commander, would you talk to him?
**[11:02] ---**
Ridiculous! We're in this situation
because of that brat's--
**[11:05] ---**
Regardless, if we can use that Yunboro, it
should make for a considerable advantage.
**[11:11] ---**
Ridget.
**[11:12] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[11:14] ---**
This is Ridget.
**[11:16] ---**
I'll speak to you on behalf of
the Fleet Commander. All right?
**[11:20] ---**
No problem.
**[11:22] ---**
Let me confirm. You say you'll help us,
**[11:26] ---**
but do you recognize that it's your
fault we're in these circumstances?
**[11:31] ---**
I understand. I apologize
for killing the pirates.
**[11:37] ---**
Then one more thing...
**[11:39] ---**
With your military force, isn't it
possible that you could destroy us, too?
**[11:45] ---**
Affirmative. This machine alone
could wipe out this entire fleet.
**[11:50] ---**
Then why are you offering
to help weaklings like us?
**[11:55] ---**
I wish to make a deal.
**[11:56] ---**
A deal?
**[11:58] ---**
Bellows told me.
**[11:59] ---**
You people say, "Give fresh water
to the one who catches the fish."
**[12:04] ---**
She also told me that the pirates
don't follow those words.
**[12:11] ---**
So I decided it would be more beneficial
to make a deal with you than the pirates.
**[12:20] ---**
I would like to stay here for the time being.
**[12:24] ---**
Fleet Commander, I think we
should accept the boy's deal.
**[12:30] ---**
W-What?!
**[12:32] ---**
We mustn't neglect to give water
to the one who catches the fish.
**[12:52] ---**
Confirmation requested.
**[12:54] ---**
The mission of this machine is only to
divert the pirates. Is that correct?
**[12:58] ---**
Yes. All you have to do
is get their attention.
**[13:02] ---**
Be sure to restrain yourself
from attacking excessively.
**[13:07] ---**
I understand your demands.
**[13:09] ---**
If at all possible, I will take
care not to cause human casualties.
**[13:10] ---**
So this is what it's like inside...
**[13:13] ---**
Do not enter the cockpit without permission.
**[13:17] ---**
The hell was that for,
you overgrown tin can?!
**[13:28] ---**
Unbelievable...
**[13:29] ---**
We're entrusting the defense of
our fleet to that strange kid?
**[13:35] ---**
It's the Fleet Commander's decision.
**[13:37] ---**
I can understand why he made it.
**[13:40] ---**
Even so...
**[13:55] ---**
Marocchi.
**[13:56] ---**
Haven't we arrived at the Gargantia yet?
**[14:00] ---**
I sure they'll be noticin' us pretty soon...
**[14:03] ---**
On a night as dark as this, maybe
even they have a chance of winning.
**[14:07] ---**
You're joking!
**[14:09] ---**
In this world, nobody exists who
could beat us in a night battle!
**[14:14] ---**
Oh, is that right?
**[14:19] ---**
What's this?!
**[14:22] ---**
Pirate fleet confirmed.
**[14:25] ---**
We're going to begin the battle.
**[14:27] ---**
Up there! Shoot it down!
**[14:32] ---**
All ships, cannons at the ready!
**[14:35] ---**
Alright! All ships, commence firing!
**[14:45] ---**
Don't tell me they beat us to
the punch in a night battle.
**[14:48] ---**
What the hell is that Yunboro?!
It's flyin' all over the place!
**[14:51] ---**
Come on, already! Counterattack!
**[14:53] ---**
All ships, aim at the enemy fleet and fire!
**[15:09] ---**
The Chezy and Nephilim have been hit!
**[15:10] ---**
The Chezy can't continue fighting!
**[15:13] ---**
Have it retreat. All the
other ships, continue...
**[15:18] ---**
The Marcus is hit!
**[15:20] ---**
Keep firing! Don't lose this!
**[15:23] ---**
Even more allied ships have been hit.
**[15:25] ---**
Estimate: In 17 minutes, the allied force
will no longer be able to continue fighting.
**[15:31] ---**
Then we've got no choice.
We're going to enter the fray.
**[15:35] ---**
While avoiding human casualties, disable
the enemy's firepower and mobility.
**[15:40] ---**
Roger.
**[15:51] ---**
No signs of life.
**[15:55] ---**
No human casualties.
**[15:57] ---**
Alright.
**[16:01] ---**
Here it comes!
**[16:12] ---**
The Crocodile's on fire!
**[16:14] ---**
The Grach has reversed course! Are
they tryin' to get away on their own?!
**[16:18] ---**
Everyone should be getting
here about now.
**[16:20] ---**
We'd better get ready as well.
**[16:23] ---**
Aye, sir!
**[16:32] ---**
Something's over there!
**[16:33] ---**
Light it up!
**[16:50] ---**
Pirates!
**[16:51] ---**
Pirate attack!
**[16:52] ---**
Citizens, evacuate to starboard!
**[16:57] ---**
Fire!
**[17:02] ---**
Move our Yunboros out, too!
**[17:04] ---**
Send the guards up top!
**[17:09] ---**
Warning: The Gargantia is being
invaded by enemy armored troops.
**[17:13] ---**
When did they get here?!
**[17:20] ---**
You're not the only one
with a special Yunboroid.
**[17:25] ---**
Empress Lukkage is gonna attack!
**[17:27] ---**
I haven't seen Empress Lukkage's
Lobster in a long time!
**[17:32] ---**
The Surfing Lobster...
**[17:34] ---**
It's heading for the Gargantia!
**[17:36] ---**
All nearby Heavy Yunboros,
aim for that and fire!
**[17:44] ---**
She's getting through!
**[17:49] ---**
Dammit!
**[18:24] ---**
What's happening?!
**[18:26] ---**
Looks like Lukkage just crashed
into the superstructure!
**[18:28] ---**
What?!
**[18:42] ---**
She's climbing!
**[18:43] ---**
Send the garrison to superstructure one!
**[18:46] ---**
Everyone evacuate.
**[18:48] ---**
I'm the one she wants.
**[18:50] ---**
Fleet Commander!
**[18:52] ---**
I wonder where Fleet Commander Fairlock is...
**[19:00] ---**
I'm anxious to crush him.
**[19:04] ---**
Oh, my... You suddenly embrace
a lady from behind...
**[19:09] ---**
But I don't have anything
against an aggressive man.
**[19:18] ---**
What's she trying to do?!
**[19:21] ---**
Gung ho!
**[19:24] ---**
Semper fi!
**[19:26] ---**
Sorry to keep you waiting!
**[19:43] ---**
It seems you're good at flying,
but how are you in the water?
**[19:52] ---**
Wha...?!
**[19:54] ---**
I don't believe this...
**[19:57] ---**
This can't be...
**[19:58] ---**
Warning to the invading enemy:
Surrender immediately.
**[20:01] ---**
Surrender?! Lukkage?!
**[20:05] ---**
She's not giving me much choice...
**[20:07] ---**
Repeat: Surrender.
**[20:12] ---**
The safety of your lives is guaranteed.
**[20:14] ---**
What a bore you are! No matter how
many times you say it, I'll never...
**[20:19] ---**
Hey!
**[20:21] ---**
Surrender. Surrender. Surrender immediately.
**[20:25] ---**
Repeat: Surrender.
**[20:28] ---**
Go... to hell...
**[20:30] ---**
I'll never surrender...
even if it... kills me...
**[20:46] ---**
Oh, crap! Pull out!
**[20:49] ---**
W-Wait!
**[21:04] ---**
That kid did it...
**[21:07] ---**
Thank you!
**[21:09] ---**
Thank you!
**[21:16] ---**
I keep hearing that word.
**[21:18] ---**
It is an idiom denoting gratitude.
**[21:22] ---**
Gratitude...
**[21:28] ---**
I see. He did well...
**[21:31] ---**
How do you intend to deal with the boy?
**[21:37] ---**
I wonder what Chevron would have done...
**[21:41] ---**
My father?
**[21:43] ---**
I'm going to let you decide.
**[21:52] ---**
Good job!
**[21:54] ---**
I'll cook you a special dinner tonight, too!
**[22:01] ---**
T... Ta... Than...
**[22:08] ---**
Thank you...
