***SIGN*** East China Sea
**[00:17] ---**
Look at all these ships.
**[00:18] ---**
They weren't lying when they said
this was a full-scale operation.
**[00:22] ---**
"Victory through overwhelming
firepower" is America's motto.
**[00:26] ---**
But depending on how this goes,
**[00:29] ---**
my first priority is your survival,
**[00:31] ---**
even if it means taking over your Daughter.
**[00:36] ---**
I know.
**[00:38] ---**
I won't do anything reckless.
**[00:41] ---**
Did something happen with Gripen?
**[00:43] ---**
"Something"?
**[00:45] ---**
Where did that come from?
**[00:47] ---**
My bugs picked up a rather intimate
conversation between you two last night.
**[00:52] ---**
I-It wasn't like that...
**[00:54] ---**
Wait, "bugs"?
**[00:56] ---**
That was a joke.
**[01:02] ---**
Why are you always so
excited about everything?
**[01:05] ---**
'Cause I finally get to fly!
**[01:08] ---**
We're fighter jets! If we don't fly
and fight, there's no reason to exist!
**[01:14] ---**
Kei...
**[01:16] ---**
It's time to get ready.
**[01:17] ---**
Yeah.
**[02:57] ---**
Direct link.
**[03:07] ---**
*Barbie 01, Control.*
***SIGN*** A Homeland with No One Home
**[03:09] ---**
*Taxi to Alpha Charlie 1.*
**[03:17] ---**
*I hook the nose gear into catapult shaft.*
**[03:21] ---**
* Then test the flaps and remove*
* the engine output limiter.*
**[03:24] ---**
* After that, I don't touch*
* the instruments at all.*
**[03:27] ---**
* I don't touch the stick again until I'm away*
* from the carrier and heading into the sky.*
**[03:46] ---**
Kei, pull up!
**[03:53] ---**
Checking warning signals.
**[03:56] ---**
Normal.
**[03:58] ---**
You okay?
**[03:59] ---**
Yeah.
**[04:00] ---**
*Barbie 01, can you hear me?*
**[04:03] ---**
Glad to see you made it off the ground.
**[04:05] ---**
Rhino?
**[04:06] ---**
Yes!
**[04:07] ---**
It's the first time you're
seeing me like this, huh?
**[04:09] ---**
Let's do good out there today!
**[04:10] ---**
Group 1 just made contact with
the enemy's forward units.
**[04:14] ---**
They're falling back and leading
them to the designated point.
**[04:18] ---**
*Narutani Kei, have you memorized the plan?*
**[04:22] ---**
Um...
**[04:25] ---**
Group 1 is composed of normal fighter jets.
**[04:29] ---**
They'll split up the Xi, and then the
Brawlers in Group 2 will pursue.
**[04:32] ---**
We're in Group 3. We'll expand
the hole the Brawlers open,
**[04:36] ---**
and break through enemy
lines to secure air superiority.
**[04:38] ---**
*Perfect! You've got it!*
**[04:41] ---**
*Now we just need to do it.*
**[04:44] ---**
She makes it sound so easy.
**[04:48] ---**
Let's form up.
**[04:50] ---**
Follow me.
**[05:02] ---**
Fire support from the fleet is incoming.
**[05:05] ---**
Three...
**[05:06] ---**
Two...
**[05:07] ---**
One!
**[05:08] ---**
Impact!
**[05:12] ---**
Wow...
**[05:13] ---**
*Be careful. That didn't get a lot of them.*
**[05:18] ---**
*EPCM level rising.*
**[05:20] ---**
*The enemy is becoming more active.*
**[05:22] ---**
*They're pursuing Group 1.*
**[05:31] ---**
They're not sending in the Brawlers yet?
**[05:34] ---**
*The Xi haven't been fully split apart.*
**[05:36] ---**
* If we send them in now,*
* they'll be attacked from both sides.*
**[05:39] ---**
But...
**[06:11] ---**
They're good.
**[06:12] ---**
*Now it's our turn.*
**[06:24] ---**
Target lock on!
**[06:26] ---**
Fox 2!
**[06:31] ---**
Kill. Kill.
**[06:36] ---**
Splash!
**[06:55] ---**
Crap!
**[06:56] ---**
Kei, stay in formation.
**[06:59] ---**
They'll surround you.
**[07:00] ---**
I know!
**[07:01] ---**
But... can we really break through like this?
**[07:10] ---**
Vector zero one five!
**[07:11] ---**
The Brawlers found an opening!
**[07:13] ---**
All Barbie fighters, back them up!
**[07:23] ---**
We're through.
**[07:25] ---**
*We made it through the enemy formation.*
**[07:26] ---**
*And we're still alive.*
**[07:30] ---**
We were supposed to be first!
**[07:33] ---**
Maintaining air superiority is their job.
**[07:35] ---**
Our job was just to make an opening, right?
**[07:40] ---**
There's no time for talking.
**[07:43] ---**
The enemy is still out there.
**[07:45] ---**
* We need to turn around*
* and support our allies.*
**[07:50] ---**
New enemies to our front.
**[07:52] ---**
Distance: 30.
**[07:54] ---**
Approaching us from moderate altitude.
**[07:56] ---**
Two of them.
**[07:57] ---**
Heavy bombers?
**[07:59] ---**
Those are my prey!
**[08:01] ---**
Wait!
**[08:02] ---**
Those things are too slow to stop us!
**[08:11] ---**
Eagle, break!
**[08:15] ---**
*Wh-What are those?*
**[08:17] ---**
Parasite fighters...
**[08:18] ---**
Parasites?
**[08:20] ---**
* They load up smaller fighters on a*
* larger jet and launch them in mid-air.*
**[08:24] ---**
*You can think of them as air-based carriers.*
**[08:26] ---**
Of all the times and places
to send those in...
**[08:34] ---**
We're going to attack them!
**[08:35] ---**
The Brawlers can't stop them all.
**[08:37] ---**
Okay.
**[08:38] ---**
*Roger!*
**[08:38] ---**
*I'll go cover the manned fighters!*
**[08:51] ---**
Gripen, what's wrong?
**[08:54] ---**
EPCM... at incredible intensity.
**[08:57] ---**
And a really weird pattern...
**[08:59] ---**
Weird?
**[09:00] ---**
Are you okay?
**[09:01] ---**
I'm fine.
**[09:02] ---**
I used my shields to cut
off the signal immediately.
**[09:05] ---**
But it made me sick.
**[09:22] ---**
What's going on?
**[09:27] ---**
They... the Xi are controlling the Brawlers.
**[09:31] ---**
The Brawlers' algorithms use the
**[09:34] ---**
surrounding EPCM patterns
to pick their next move.
**[09:37] ---**
Which means that if you
can adjust those patterns,
**[09:41] ---**
you can make them do whatever you want.
**[09:44] ---**
*Misidentification...*
**[09:45] ---**
They can make enemies look like allies,
and allies look like enemies.
**[09:50] ---**
Is that it?
**[09:52] ---**
*The mission is a failure.*
**[09:54] ---**
*Let's retreat.*
**[09:55] ---**
* Without the Brawlers' support,*
* continuing the mission is impossible.*
**[09:58] ---**
No, but...
**[10:00] ---**
There's no time to waste here!
**[10:01] ---**
They'll kill us all!
**[10:11] ---**
Kei, enemies above us.
**[10:13] ---**
From 9 o'clock as well.
**[10:24] ---**
I can't get away.
**[10:25] ---**
Above us, below, and on both sides...
**[10:27] ---**
The enemy is everywhere!
**[10:30] ---**
I can't... I can't die here!
**[10:33] ---**
*Narutani Kei!*
**[10:38] ---**
This way! We're breaking through!
**[10:40] ---**
Rhino!
**[11:04] ---**
We're alive.
**[11:08] ---**
Gripen, you okay?
**[11:09] ---**
I took a lot of damage, but I'm okay.
**[11:12] ---**
But my fuel...
**[11:14] ---**
Can we make it to the carrier?
**[11:16] ---**
It'll be tough.
**[11:17] ---**
We ended up a long way from the fleet.
**[11:19] ---**
*Me too. I'm getting fuel warnings.*
**[11:22] ---**
We need to refuel fast.
**[11:24] ---**
Can we call a mid-air refueling tanker?
**[11:26] ---**
Nope. Can't get through on the radio.
**[11:29] ---**
The EPCM's too bad.
**[11:31] ---**
Then we can head for a
base in Taiwan or Korea...
**[11:33] ---**
No way.
**[11:35] ---**
They're even father.
**[11:37] ---**
What about a Chinese airport?
**[11:42] ---**
Shanghai Pudong International Airport.
**[11:45] ---**
It's close, but...
**[11:47] ---**
That's enemy territory.
**[11:48] ---**
* We don't have a lot of other*
* choices, though, do we?*
**[11:51] ---**
*Let's go see what we find.*
**[11:53] ---**
Okay.
**[11:55] ---**
Gripen, watch the surrounding area carefully.
**[11:57] ---**
Roger.
**[12:01] ---**
I never thought this is how I'd head home.
**[12:05] ---**
*Mayday, mayday, mayday...*
**[12:08] ---**
Pudong Tower, Barbie 01.
**[12:10] ---**
This is Japan Air Self Defense Force,
**[12:13] ---**
low fuel, forced landing, two ships.
**[12:15] ---**
Not a word from them...
**[12:18] ---**
The place seems in good shape, but...
**[12:23] ---**
*I guess we head for the hangars, huh?*
**[12:26] ---**
*The weather seems bad.*
**[12:28] ---**
Yeah.
**[12:34] ---**
I'm glad you two are safe.
**[12:37] ---**
Sorry for dragging you into this.
**[12:40] ---**
Don't worry about it.
**[12:41] ---**
My escape was cut off, too.
**[12:45] ---**
But hmm...
**[12:47] ---**
There's nothing here. No equipment or fuel.
**[12:50] ---**
Did they put it all in one place
somewhere to avoid Xi attacks?
**[12:54] ---**
Like in a shelter or something?
**[12:55] ---**
Want to take a look?
**[12:57] ---**
We can't really fly without
repairs and fuel, anyway.
**[13:00] ---**
Sounds good!
**[13:01] ---**
Let's go!
**[13:05] ---**
Gripen?
**[13:08] ---**
What's wrong?
**[13:09] ---**
Are you not feeling well?
**[13:13] ---**
Kei...
**[13:14] ---**
Are you okay?
**[13:16] ---**
I'm fine. Nothing's wrong at all.
**[13:39] ---**
Kei...
**[13:41] ---**
Is this the country you lived in?
**[13:44] ---**
The place you wanted to go home to?
**[13:47] ---**
No...
**[13:49] ---**
I don't know.
**[13:50] ---**
It used to be a lot louder, with a
lot more stuff jammed everywhere.
**[13:55] ---**
It wasn't so quiet, lonely, and white.
**[14:01] ---**
White...
**[14:16] ---**
Kei...
**[14:18] ---**
I'm thirsty.
**[14:20] ---**
Want to take a break?
**[14:22] ---**
I bet there's some places to eat over there!
**[14:25] ---**
The passenger terminal?
**[14:27] ---**
We could go back to the
Daughters and eat rations,
**[14:30] ---**
but we need to look around anyway, right?
**[14:32] ---**
Yeah. Let's go.
**[15:00] ---**
The power's still on.
**[15:02] ---**
The air conditioning, too.
**[15:04] ---**
Is there somebody here after all, then?
**[15:07] ---**
Are they hiding somewhere?
**[15:13] ---**
It's so quiet.
**[15:15] ---**
This is a nice place.
**[15:18] ---**
There's electricity, water, and food, too.
**[15:20] ---**
It's clean, and there's so much space.
**[15:22] ---**
You don't have to worry about the rain.
**[15:25] ---**
It feels like we could live here forever.
**[15:29] ---**
No. Everybody is still fighting.
**[15:31] ---**
We need to refuel and head back quickly.
**[15:34] ---**
I was just kidding.
**[15:37] ---**
Let's split up to search.
**[15:40] ---**
This place is in such great
shape that we should be able
**[15:42] ---**
to find either supplies or a person quickly.
**[15:45] ---**
You couldn't keep this place in this shape
**[15:47] ---**
unless somebody was
maintaining it, after all.
**[16:20] ---**
The landing lights don't turn on, huh?
**[16:23] ---**
We're stuck here tonight, I guess.
**[16:25] ---**
You'd think, but I actually
found a place to stay!
**[16:29] ---**
Directly linked to the terminal,
and it comes with a bath and toilet!
**[16:33] ---**
Just one room?
**[16:35] ---**
I don't want to interrupt your fun, but yeah.
**[16:39] ---**
I think we need somebody to keep watch.
**[16:42] ---**
Until we know who's maintaining this place.
**[16:46] ---**
Got it. Let's keep watch
in a three-person shift.
**[16:49] ---**
Gripen, is that okay?
**[16:52] ---**
Yeah.
**[16:53] ---**
Okay, I'll take you to your hotel!
**[17:00] ---**
How'd the battle go, I wonder?
**[17:03] ---**
Hard to say.
**[17:04] ---**
It's been a while, so it must've
reached some kind of conclusion.
**[17:10] ---**
Conclusion...
**[17:11] ---**
The EPCM in this area is still active.
**[17:14] ---**
If the landing force was
going ahead as planned,
**[17:17] ---**
some of them should've been here by now.
**[17:21] ---**
Which means...
**[17:24] ---**
Well, we can think about that stuff tomorrow.
**[17:27] ---**
We're here.
**[17:41] ---**
What are you doing?
**[17:44] ---**
Nothing.
**[17:47] ---**
Room 405?
**[17:48] ---**
I took it from my birthday.
**[17:51] ---**
Birthday?
**[17:52] ---**
It's actually April 5th of this year.
**[17:55] ---**
This year?
**[17:56] ---**
Which means you're not even...
**[17:58] ---**
I'm zero years old!
**[18:00] ---**
If you try anything with me,
that's a serious crime.
**[18:03] ---**
I'm not going to!
**[18:06] ---**
I'm done. Night.
**[18:09] ---**
Hey, at least take a shower.
**[18:13] ---**
You get some sleep, too.
**[18:15] ---**
Your turn at watch is coming soon.
**[18:18] ---**
Okay.
**[18:36] ---**
What?
**[18:37] ---**
Nothing.
**[18:39] ---**
Can you see something?
**[18:42] ---**
I like the darkness of night, you know.
**[18:45] ---**
It's like everything—the people, the towns,
even me—is going to melt into it.
**[18:50] ---**
Melt?
**[18:51] ---**
All the outlines disappear.
All the boundaries disappear.
**[18:56] ---**
Everybody gets mixed together,
inside and out.
**[19:00] ---**
When I was first born,
somebody took me camping.
**[19:06] ---**
I can still remember the
night sky I saw then.
**[19:16] ---**
It felt like I was a part of it.
Or that I was sinking into it.
**[19:21] ---**
Like my body was floating in
the center of the universe.
**[19:25] ---**
I was a part of the world. Not alone.
**[19:30] ---**
It felt like I couldn't
survive as an individual.
**[19:36] ---**
Sorry. I said too much.
**[19:39] ---**
You should get some sleep.
**[19:41] ---**
No, um...
**[19:45] ---**
Goodnight, Rhino.
**[19:47] ---**
Yeah, goodnight.
**[20:12] ---**
Huh?
**[20:14] ---**
Rhino?
**[20:20] ---**
*I'm off to look for fuel.*
**[20:22] ---**
*If I need you, I'll come get you.*
**[20:24] ---**
*Take your time.*
**[20:25] ---**
We were supposed to take shifts. That girl...
**[20:32] ---**
Hey, Gripen, wake up.
**[20:34] ---**
It's morning.
**[20:40] ---**
Not feeling well?
**[20:42] ---**
My self-examination program
says everything's normal.
**[20:45] ---**
But I feel so out of it.
**[20:48] ---**
Especially since I came to the airport.
**[20:50] ---**
We should have Yashirodoori-san
take a look at you ASAP.
**[20:54] ---**
I'll go take a look outside.
**[20:58] ---**
You get some rest.
**[21:01] ---**
Sorry.
**[21:11] ---**
What is that? I heard it yesterday, too.
**[21:28] ---**
Am I imagining it?
**[21:30] ---**
Or is it just a ringing in my ears?
**[23:27] ---**
Next time on *Girly Air Force*...
**[23:30] ---**
ALT 12: "The Sky I Fly with You."
***SIGN*** The Sky I Fly with You
**[23:33] ---**
Barbie 01, cleared for take off!
