[00:19] ---
    The darkness of space...
[00:21] ---
    Not a single beam of light comes out of it.
[00:26] ---
    There is nothing but the long gloominess
    of night that extends over these skies.
[00:32] ---
    But sometimes, light does stab
    through the murky darkness of space.
[00:37] ---
    Is it sweet enticement
    from the land of the dead?
[00:41] ---
    Or is it the light of hope?
[00:59] ---
    I may have a habit of running away
    as soon as anything bad occurs,
[01:06] ---
    but no matter what happens,
    I'm not going to run away now.
[01:13] ---
    I may have a habit of bursting into tears,
    even though I understand it in my mind,
[01:20] ---
    but since I am aiming higher,
    I'm not going to cry now.
[01:27] ---
    I'm tired of hearing that
    things will turn out all right.
[01:29] ---
    Don't bury your head in your hands.
[01:31] ---
    Instead give your positive gauge a clip!
[01:32] ---
    In time it will all feel
    just like it should!
[01:35] ---
    Deeply, deeply, it's becoming
    etched in my mind
[01:42] ---
    that someday, this will all be real.
[01:49] ---
    Both the unchanging mornings
    and the never-ending nights.
[01:55] ---
    I'm off and running for tomorrow's sake.
[02:17] ---
    Sandwiches and snacks and... oh, yeah!
[02:20] ---
    Vetti-sama, should we take
    some wine with us, too?
[02:22] ---
    Looks like you're
    enjoying yourself, huh Ralph?
[02:24] ---
    It's been a long time since
    the two of us went out, after all.
[02:27] ---
    But are you sure we should be going?
[02:30] ---
    It'll be fine. And I'm in no mood to be
    heading up a bunch of fleet redeployments.
[02:36] ---
    Right!
[02:45] ---
    Say, Vetti-sama, do you believe in love?
[02:51] ---
    The only thing I believe in is destiny.
[02:55] ---
    Destiny?
[02:57] ---
    Yeah.
[02:59] ---
    Wow, I wouldn't have thought that
    you believe in destiny, Vetti-sama.
[03:04] ---
    Listen...
[03:06] ---
    If I want something badly enough,
[03:08] ---
    the whole of the universe
    will help me out.
[03:11] ---
    But I cannot mistake
    the path I must go down.
[03:15] ---
    The path I must go down is shining.
[03:18] ---
    I just have to keep following
    my destiny through to the end.
[03:24] ---
    A shining... path?
[03:47] ---
    No! Our souls will become tainted!
[03:50] ---
    --Altitude 19,000... 18,000... 17,000...
[03:50] ---
    --Let me off! I don't want
    to go to any planet! No!
[03:55] ---
    --Calm down! Calm down, Sylua!
[03:57] ---
    Planets are unclean lands,
    swirling with hatred!
[04:00] ---
    Michel-sama, aren't you bothered by this?!
[04:02] ---
    How old-fashioned.
[04:05] ---
    Fussing about it now won't do any good.
[04:08] ---
    Look at Pops over there.
    Looks like he has resigned himself.
[04:14] ---
    Grandpapa...
[04:19] ---
    Black Cross! Please forgive my sins!
[04:22] ---
    And please purify my body,
    which is about to become sullied!
[04:26] ---
    What is the Black Cross, soap?
[04:58] ---
    Yahoo!
[05:06] ---
    Michel-sama, you mustn't!
[05:08] ---
    We beg you, please don't!
[05:11] ---
    It's all right. You guys wait here.
[05:16] ---
    --Michel-sama!
[05:16] ---
    --Michel-sama!
[05:17] ---
    Well? How does it feel,
    having your soul tainted?
[05:21] ---
    Oh, I feel as fine as you do.
[05:36] ---
    Even if we die by the side
    of the road in this land,
[05:39] ---
    Michel-sama, we will accompany you.
[05:41] ---
    Thanks, guys.
[05:42] ---
    How highfaluting.
[05:46] ---
    It's Cleo...
[05:47] ---
    Cleo is here...
[05:48] ---
    He's here...
[05:50] ---
    It's Cleo...
[05:56] ---
    Look, can't you do something
    about your clothes?
[06:00] ---
    What about them?
    What's wrong with this outfit?
[06:03] ---
    I like it, but it's dangerous for
    nobility to be walking around out here.
[06:08] ---
    There, you see? The wolves have
    been watching you for a while now.
[06:14] ---
    This planet has always been used as
    an eminent domain for political offenders.
[06:20] ---
    It's a stomping ground
    for dangerous wanted men
[06:23] ---
    who would be put to death
    if they were ever caught.
[06:28] ---
    In other words, this planet is a trash heap.
[06:34] ---
    That reminds me, about my ship...
[06:36] ---
    Your ship? By ship,
    do you mean that thing?
[06:42] ---
    What?!
[06:44] ---
    Yeah, as huge as it was,
    I'm guessing it fetched a good price.
[06:49] ---
    You sold it?!
[06:50] ---
    Huh? Nobody told you?
[06:53] ---
    Michel-sama...
[06:55] ---
    Cleo! That was his plan
    from the beginning!
[06:59] ---
    Come back safely.
[07:06] ---
    Cleo!
[07:17] ---
    Say, Vetti-sama, are you really
    going to marry Pope Gorna's daughter?
[07:22] ---
    Are you against it, Ralph?
[07:24] ---
    Of course I am! I'm sure
    she's ugly, like this.
[07:28] ---
    According to the tenets
    of the Cross-Star religion,
[07:30] ---
    girls must wear a mask
    until they are 18 years old,
[07:33] ---
    and they are not supposed to
    show their faces to anyone.
[07:36] ---
    I know that. But she's Gorna's daughter.
[07:40] ---
    Vetti-sama, you've heard
    the stories, haven't you?
[07:43] ---
    The bride from hell...
[07:45] ---
    They say that any man who comes near
    that girl ends up floating in the river.
[07:50] ---
    Vetti-sama, you'd be rubbed out too.
[07:54] ---
    In that case, I have to see her now.
[07:59] ---
    Now, cut that out, Vetti-sama.
[08:05] ---
    I'm in a foul mood right now.
[08:08] ---
    You're going to get hurt.
[08:23] ---
    Next time, there will be blood.
[08:36] ---
    Cleo!
[08:51] ---
    Why have you sold me out?!
[08:52] ---
    What are you talking about?
[08:54] ---
    You accepted money, didn't you?!
[08:56] ---
    Oh, that?
[08:59] ---
    Hold it!
[09:02] ---
    Just how despicable
    are you and your men?!
[09:05] ---
    Now that you've set foot
    on my ship, you'll follow me.
[09:08] ---
    It's not up to you!
[09:10] ---
    I told you, I only put things
    that I like into my pocket.
[09:14] ---
    Is that why you sold me out?!
[09:17] ---
    Don't get me wrong.
[09:19] ---
    Once I put something into my pocket,
    I protect it, no matter what.
[09:23] ---
    No matter what.
[09:25] ---
    If you don't like it, then get lost now.
[09:28] ---
    Where are you going?!
[09:37] ---
    I'm going, too.
[09:38] ---
    Huh?
[09:39] ---
    Captain's escort.
[10:15] ---
    Go back.
[10:15] ---
    What?!
[10:17] ---
    It's too much for you.
[10:27] ---
    What am I doing?
[10:30] ---
    I need to get back as soon as I can
    to lead the People's Army in battle.
[10:36] ---
    And yet, here I am...
[10:38] ---
    I wonder if the others
    got back to base safely.
[10:49] ---
    I told you to go back!
[11:06] ---
    Drink some.
[11:15] ---
    Was that too strong for you?
[11:17] ---
    Don't be ridiculous!
    I can handle this fine!
[11:26] ---
    Yo...
[11:28] ---
    Is this "People's Army" strong?
[11:31] ---
    We are fighting for
    the liberty of the people.
[11:34] ---
    --Our strength and such isn't what's-
[11:35] ---
    --Then, who is the strongest
    around right now?
[11:39] ---
    Myself excluded, of course.
[11:41] ---
    Don't you know what kind of state
    the galaxy is in right now?
[11:45] ---
    It doesn't interest me.
[11:52] ---
    That's great. To think that
    you're seriously planning
[11:55] ---
    to take everything over
    without knowing that much...
[11:57] ---
    Well, excuse me.
[12:00] ---
    That's okay. I'll tell you.
[12:02] ---
    Keep it brief, okay?
[12:06] ---
    Once, there were two great forces
    in the center of the galaxy
[12:10] ---
    that clashed over
    who was to rule the universe.
[12:12] ---
    One of them was the
    Allied Nobility fleet,
[12:14] ---
    who had defeated the royal family
    and expanded their power.
[12:18] ---
    The other was the New Allied
    Nobility fleet, led by Vetti Sforza,
[12:24] ---
    a distinguished figure among the nobility.
[12:26] ---
    A fierce battle with
    the fate of the galaxy at stake
[12:30] ---
    ended with the
    New Nobility Fleet victorious.
[12:33] ---
    After that, Vetti declared
    the formation of a new, unified state,
[12:38] ---
    and took the title of Holy Emperor.
[12:40] ---
    However, he enacted strict
    governmental policies
[12:43] ---
    centered even more around the nobility,
[12:45] ---
    and continues to oppress the lives
    of the people even more than before.
[12:48] ---
    Those of us in the People's Army rose up
    in order to topple the Vetti regime.
[12:58] ---
    Cleo, if you're going to
    try to claim Vetti's head...
[13:05] ---
    ...what if we were to fight together?
[13:12] ---
    I don't get it.
[13:15] ---
    I just don't get it.
[13:17] ---
    You don't get what?
[13:18] ---
    You're one of the nobles, aren't you?
[13:20] ---
    What of it?
[13:21] ---
    Why are you the head of the People's Army,
    out to overthrow the nobles' society?
[13:26] ---
    The Volbans are the only aristocratic
    family to stand up for the people.
[13:31] ---
    As long as someone has a purpose,
    their status does not matter.
[13:34] ---
    Purpose, huh?
[13:36] ---
    What's so funny?
[13:38] ---
    It all seems too neat.
[13:39] ---
    Too neat?
[13:41] ---
    It's nonsense. An overprotected youngster
[13:43] ---
    who can't even climb up
    a snowy mountain adequately...
[13:45] ---
    ...throws his hat into the ring,
    but in the end
[13:48] ---
    is just going to establish another
    aristocratic society, right?
[13:50] ---
    How dare you!
[13:51] ---
    You're just an ignorant provincial boor!
    What do you know?!
[13:55] ---
    You can't see a thing, can you?
[13:58] ---
    What?!
[14:00] ---
    I may not know much
    about the political world,
[14:03] ---
    but I can see the substance of things
    better than you can.
[14:06] ---
    You take that back! I will not
    permit such an affront toward myself!
[14:09] ---
    There, you see? You nobles are
    more worried about your pride
[14:12] ---
    than you are of eating three times a day.
[14:14] ---
    Silence!
[14:15] ---
    You can feed it to the dogs,
    for all I care.
[14:18] ---
    Why, you...
[14:25] ---
    Pick it up! I challenge you to a duel!
[14:29] ---
    Don't do this. You can't beat me.
[14:32] ---
    I told you to pick it up!
[14:34] ---
    What choice do I have?
[14:36] ---
    I'll let you practice on me.
[14:38] ---
    You unmannered miscreant!
[14:42] ---
    Do you have any last words?!
[14:44] ---
    Are you sure you want to
    waste time talking to me?
[14:46] ---
    The fight has already started.
[15:04] ---
    That's the People's Army for you.
[15:06] ---
    You run away as well
    as the rumors say you do.
[15:20] ---
    Oh, not bad, huh?
[15:24] ---
    What was that just now?
    I've never seen a form like that.
[15:29] ---
    Come on.
[15:47] ---
    What are you trying to pull?!
[15:48] ---
    Can't you see?
[15:50] ---
    Can't you see how this will end?
[15:53] ---
    What did you say?!
[15:54] ---
    The outcome has been decided.
[15:56] ---
    Hold it! You dare turn your
    back in the middle of a duel?!
[16:00] ---
    Don't you mock me!
[16:12] ---
    Well played...
[16:16] ---
    I am the one who
    initiated the duel. Kill me.
[16:20] ---
    Your agitated emotions
    created a momentary opening
[16:23] ---
    in your otherwise flawless
    swordsmanship, that's all.
[16:33] ---
    Let's go.
[16:43] ---
    It's letting up.
[16:48] ---
    We can see it now.
[16:50] ---
    What is it?
[16:51] ---
    The prophet Guildy's castle.
[16:54] ---
    Prophet?
[17:20] ---
    I've been expecting you.
[17:34] ---
    --It's okay, just take one sip!
[17:35] ---
    --Stop it! Stop it!
[17:38] ---
    Come on, down the hatch!
[17:39] ---
    Eimer!
[17:40] ---
    Grandpapa, why does Michel-sama believe
    that barbaric man to be our savior?
[17:45] ---
    You needn't concern
    yourself unnecessarily.
[17:48] ---
    We just need to do as
    Michel-sama would have us.
[17:53] ---
    Sylua, we're hungry!
[17:56] ---
    Yeah, make us some snacks, would you?
[17:59] ---
    I'll take hotcakes.
[18:00] ---
    That sounds good!
[18:02] ---
    How many times do I have to
    tell you?! I am not your maid!
[18:07] ---
    You're looking the same
    as always, old lady.
[18:10] ---
    Old lady? You mean, this is the prophet?!
[18:14] ---
    Michel Volban...
[18:17] ---
    You can't hide anything from this old lady.
[18:20] ---
    If you're going to confess anything,
    now's the time.
[18:25] ---
    There is nothing to fear,
    you who are being buffeted about.
[18:30] ---
    Buffeted about?
[18:34] ---
    You are being blown by a fine wind.
    Feel out that wind in your life.
[18:41] ---
    Wind?
[18:43] ---
    Now, could you hurry and do me?
[18:46] ---
    Very well. Listen carefully.
[18:57] ---
    When the end comes,
    a two-headed eagle will be born.
[19:02] ---
    One will be clad in armor of iron,
    one shall become a god of love.
[19:09] ---
    In time, the two will become one,
    and thou shalt unite the galaxy.
[19:17] ---
    Part of me has been waiting for this wind.
[19:27] ---
    I've been expecting you.
[20:01] ---
    You're still alive, are you?
[20:04] ---
    You, too.
[20:06] ---
    I don't want any trouble. And you
    brought a nobleman with you, too...
[20:11] ---
    You call that a prophecy earlier?
[20:14] ---
    Don't think about it so seriously.
    You need to feel it in your heart.
[20:20] ---
    The old lady did tell us
    one good thing, didn't she?
[20:24] ---
    She did say I would unite the galaxy.
[20:32] ---
    Say, what did that prophecy earlier mean?
[20:36] ---
    Don't you know?
[20:37] ---
    Not one bit.
[20:39] ---
    I now see the path I should go down.
[20:41] ---
    Huh?
[20:42] ---
    It appears that I am destined
    to marry Gorna's daughter.
[20:46] ---
    But why? I don't want you to do that!
[20:50] ---
    When the end came,
    a two-headed eagle was born.
[20:54] ---
    One of them, clad in armor of iron, is me.
[20:57] ---
    The other one is the god of love,
    the daughter of Pope Gorna,
[21:00] ---
    of the Cross-Star religion, Rachel.
[21:04] ---
    The bride from hell? The one
    with the face as ugly as this?
[21:08] ---
    "In time, the two become one,
    and thou shalt unite the galaxy."
[21:14] ---
    No! No! No! Ralph is
    absolutely against this!
[21:20] ---
    I don't quite understand...
[21:23] ---
    You will, in time.
[21:37] ---
    Whoops, sorry.
[21:46] ---
    I'm terribly sorry. This man
    doesn't know aristocratic etiquette.
[21:54] ---
    "Like Destiny"
[22:03] ---
    It's twilight already in the
    glass city of mistaken notions
[22:09] ---
    as we exchange farewells
    among the countless lights.
[22:14] ---
    After making that pinky promise,
    the finger that lied to you
[22:20] ---
    developed a hangnail,
    and still hurts a little even now.
[22:25] ---
    We called each other's names,
    we spoke each other's names,
[22:29] ---
    and the world where you and I
    once met keeps spinning around.
[22:35] ---
    After these tears fall,
    will they be forgotten?
[22:40] ---
    After the sadness melts away,
    will I be able to see?
[22:46] ---
    Quivering and shimmering
    in this glistening world,
[22:51] ---
    they grow cold and dry up
    as I grasp them in my hands.
[22:57] ---
    Even if this world were made of nothing
[23:03] ---
    but lies and nonsense,
    I probably wouldn't care.
[23:08] ---
    Somewhere on this world,
    I am here singing,
[23:14] ---
    so please, may you be
    here on this world, smiling.
[23:30] ---
    Two souls cross their swords vehemently,
    as their instincts lead them.
[23:34] ---
    The destined showdown
    signals the beginning.
[23:37] ---
    Next time on Glass Fleet, "Like Scars"
[23:40] ---
    The galaxy in revolution. Renaissance.
[23:40] ---
    "Like Scars"
