    "Swift Brownie"
[01:40] ---
    Armor battles are all
    the rage here at Duel Park.
[01:44] ---
    We've got all kinds of Armor
    coming here from everywhere.
[01:47] ---
    In particular, you'd be
    amazed by the amount
[01:50] ---
    that's wagered on the
    bi-annual B-1 Grand Prix.
[01:53] ---
    To be honest, it's great publicity.
[01:55] ---
    For manufacturers like us who
    want to get involved in Armor,
[02:00] ---
    this place is absolutely not to be ignored.
[02:09] ---
    That one's fast.
[02:10] ---
    That's Brownie, she's the most popular.
[02:19] ---
    That's the "Pixie Stab."
[02:21] ---
    Brownie rarely gets hit by her opponents,
[02:24] ---
    and usually wins with a single stroke.
[02:27] ---
    Damn it!
[02:28] ---
    The winner is Brownie!
[02:31] ---
    She now moves on to the final.
[02:36] ---
    Thank you all for your support!
[02:38] ---
    Brownie operates on MOS.
[02:39] ---
    Brownie operates on MOS.
[02:41] ---
    That's when the Armor is linked
    up to the rider's movements.
[02:44] ---
    At this point, I don't think
    I have to explain to you
[02:47] ---
    why she's the most popular.
[02:49] ---
    Are you all getting enough to eat?
[02:52] ---
    She brings a lot of excitement,
    but she shouldn't win.
[02:56] ---
    It's not part of the plan.
[02:57] ---
    That's why I want you to
    beat her in tomorrow's final.
[03:01] ---
    But you'll have do it
    as an employee of RWC.
[03:05] ---
    Use one of your own people.
[03:07] ---
    How did you make it
    this far in the tournament?
[03:09] ---
    We put a lot of money and influence
    into prefabricated test models.
[03:14] ---
    Of course we had some super-Armor
    and a super-Armor rider ready.
[03:18] ---
    But we weren't counting
    on that accident in Zonnet.
[03:21] ---
    Zonnet?
[03:22] ---
    Yes.
[03:23] ---
    We've been informed that the
    special Armor transport rail is out.
[03:28] ---
    The chances of it getting here
    in time for the final are small.
[03:31] ---
    We need a back-up plan,
    and so we found you.
[03:37] ---
    Dann and I aren't parts for your company.
[03:41] ---
    We'll fill out the papers
    for provisional registration.
[03:44] ---
    You'll receive the prize money
    along with the hover-base award.
[03:48] ---
    But isn't that thing a little big?
[03:51] ---
    That's because it's for Armor.
[03:53] ---
    If you don't like it, you can resell it.
[03:56] ---
    By the way, Van, what do you
    think about this mountain of junk?
[04:00] ---
    The scattered ruins of unsightly Armors
[04:03] ---
    that lacked unity in their
    planning and design.
[04:07] ---
    For widespread development
[04:08] ---
    Armor in the future is
    going to need to be designed
[04:11] ---
    so that ordinary people can operate it.
[04:13] ---
    And our company, RWC, will achieve that
[04:15] ---
    by applying the technology
    we've cultivated for the railroads.
[04:19] ---
    My goal is to mass produce Armor
    so that every home can have one.
[04:26] ---
    With today's battle we've
    gained a foothold for that purpose.
[04:28] ---
    Winning the championship is
    the only way to gain people's trust.
[04:32] ---
    That's why I want you to lend
    me your strength, and your Armor.
[04:40] ---
    Sounds good to me.
    We can always use the money.
[04:44] ---
    I take it we have a deal.
[04:47] ---
    Yeah.
[04:48] ---
    Great. Right on schedule.
[04:52] ---
    We heard your employee
    is going to be in it.
[04:54] ---
    Thank you for waiting, everyone!
[04:56] ---
    This is our company, RWC's, secret weapon.
[04:59] ---
    Chief Clerk of the Civil
    Engineering Department:
[05:01] ---
    "Van, the Pretty Man
    in the Garbage Heap."
[05:03] ---
    Garbage heap?
    The crybaby from hell?
[05:06] ---
    Boy! He doesn't waste any time!
[05:09] ---
    So you're my opponent.
[05:12] ---
    It's Pricilla!
[05:13] ---
    Pricilla?
[05:15] ---
    You're "Van, the Piece of Garbage"?
[05:18] ---
    You trying to provoke me?
[05:20] ---
    Besides, I now go by "Van of the Dawn."
[05:25] ---
    In any case, you're Van.
[05:27] ---
    I'm Pricilla.
[05:29] ---
    Let's have a good, clean fight.
[05:31] ---
    Nice to meet you.
[05:34] ---
    Please look this way!
[05:35] ---
    This way too!
[05:36] ---
    OK!
[05:40] ---
    You're really going to fight her?
[05:43] ---
    I have to. It's a job.
[05:44] ---
    And it's not a fight to the death.
[05:47] ---
    More important, how's Joshua?
[05:48] ---
    Oh, that...
[05:51] ---
    The doctor was worried
    about a possible infection,
[05:54] ---
    so he wanted to have him hospitalized.
[05:56] ---
    Why are you leaving without me, Van?
[06:01] ---
    Hey kid!
[06:03] ---
    You keep talking in your sleep!
    Now shut up!
[06:06] ---
    Oh, I'm sorry. I had a horrible dream.
[06:10] ---
    That's great. Let's just leave him and go.
[06:14] ---
    Van!
[06:15] ---
    There's nothing we can do,
    and he weighs us down.
[06:17] ---
    Weighs us down?
[06:19] ---
    All right. That's enough.
[06:21] ---
    With the hospital charges, on top
    of everything else, we need money.
[06:24] ---
    You don't have much left
    from before, right?
[06:26] ---
    No, not really.
[06:28] ---
    For now, let's think about how
    we're going to accomplish this job.
[06:31] ---
    Because if we don't, we won't be
    able to make it to our destination.
[06:34] ---
    Um, destination?
[06:36] ---
    The location indicated
    by the data in this board.
[06:39] ---
    The case and the artificial arm that
    woman had didn't give us any clues.
[06:44] ---
    So I guess for now,
    we'll have to go on this data.
[06:48] ---
    Where is it?
[06:50] ---
    Well it's... underwater.
[06:53] ---
    Tell Joshua he can meet
    up with us nearby at...
[07:01] ---
    Oh my.
[07:02] ---
    She's...
[07:05] ---
    Well, shall we tag along and see?
[07:08] ---
    Van?
[07:10] ---
    Me too?
[07:11] ---
    Scoping out the enemy
    is part of the job, isn't it?
[07:22] ---
    Pricilla!
[07:23] ---
    Sorry I'm late!
[07:29] ---
    Is this where she lives?
[07:31] ---
    It's a rented dock.
[07:32] ---
    It would have been nice if Giovanni
    had at least told us about this.
[07:36] ---
    That's the Armor Van's going to fight.
[07:38] ---
    Let's give thanks for today's meal.
[07:40] ---
    For peace on earth.
[07:42] ---
    For a bright and cheerful
    future for all people.
[07:45] ---
    Three, two, one!
[07:48] ---
    Thank you for our food!
[07:51] ---
    Children?
[07:52] ---
    Oh, I see.
[07:53] ---
    The processing speed is
    accelerated by using a crystal.
[07:57] ---
    But I wonder where she
    got her hands on this Armor.
[08:01] ---
    Pass the jam!
[08:02] ---
    Hey, you've got two pieces of bread!
[08:04] ---
    So what! I'm going to eat them.
[08:05] ---
    No. Wait your turn!
[08:08] ---
    You see.
[08:09] ---
    All right.
[08:12] ---
    You need to chew when you eat. Don't gulp.
[08:20] ---
    Aren't you going to eat, Pricilla?
[08:23] ---
    I ate along the way while
    I was coming home.
[08:25] ---
    You shouldn't fill up on snacks.
[08:26] ---
    Sorry.
[08:30] ---
    All right, I'm going to do
    my after-dinner workout!
[08:33] ---
    No!
[08:34] ---
    Don't leave me!
[08:37] ---
    Hey, kid!
[08:38] ---
    Didn't I tell you to shut up?
[08:51] ---
    Pricilla!
[08:53] ---
    What are you eating out here?
[08:56] ---
    Bread crust.
[08:57] ---
    I thought so.
[08:59] ---
    I know you care about them...
[09:00] ---
    It's really good,
    and it helps keep me on my diet.
[09:04] ---
    Besides, I have to pay for
    Brownie's repairs and customization.
[09:10] ---
    But it shouldn't just be you.
[09:13] ---
    As an elder, I should really be
    the one who provides for them.
[09:16] ---
    That's not true.
[09:18] ---
    You're busy looking after the
    kids and I like riding Armor.
[09:23] ---
    Pricilla, I know I already told you,
    but please stop.
[09:27] ---
    Why?
[09:28] ---
    One more victory and I'll
    win the championship!
[09:30] ---
    Then we'll get the prize
    money and the bonus award.
[09:33] ---
    If you lose, we'll lose everything.
[09:37] ---
    I know what I'm doing is selfish.
[09:40] ---
    I'm sorry, but...
[09:42] ---
    We can survive for a while on
    the money you've made so far.
[09:45] ---
    You're already injured. Don't try so hard.
[09:48] ---
    Oh, this?
[09:50] ---
    It's just a bruise and it's almost healed.
[09:54] ---
    I know that!
[09:57] ---
    What the heck.
[09:59] ---
    What happens if you keep
    overdoing it and end up like Mama?
[10:02] ---
    She kept on working for
    our benefit until the end.
[10:07] ---
    Johanna, I've always
    wanted to be like Mama.
[10:12] ---
    She raised us like we were her real family.
[10:16] ---
    That's why I keep on fighting
    with Brownie in the Battle Show.
[10:19] ---
    But what if you die?
[10:21] ---
    There's still time.
[10:23] ---
    Why don't you try talking
    to Giovanni again?
[10:26] ---
    No. I'm not going to throw the match!
[10:30] ---
    Even if Mama broke the rules,
    she never threw a fight.
[10:33] ---
    Mama would be angry with me if I did.
[10:36] ---
    Besides, he insulted
    Mama's Armor, didn't he?
[10:39] ---
    Telling us Brownie was an
    embarrassment in terms of strength.
[10:42] ---
    Pricilla.
[10:45] ---
    I'm going to win.
[10:46] ---
    I'll show that I can win
    fighting fair and square.
[10:49] ---
    And then we'll build a big house.
[10:51] ---
    A great big house where the kids
    can live until they're all grown up.
[11:01] ---
    Giovanni you bastard.
[11:03] ---
    Trying to get her to throw the
    match for his own selfish purposes.
[11:06] ---
    If she'd accepted, we'd be out of a job.
[11:09] ---
    Hey, Van.
[11:12] ---
    What happens to those kids if you win?
[11:15] ---
    What happens?
[11:17] ---
    That's their problem.
    It's got nothing to do with me.
[11:21] ---
    He's right.
[11:23] ---
    How can you say that?
[11:40] ---
    Trains are so slow, and
    there's nothing to do.
[11:43] ---
    But the scenery is pretty.
[11:45] ---
    Very pretty.
[11:47] ---
    Even though there's
    nothing but rocks and sky?
[11:51] ---
    Oh, I wish we could have
    gone together with our Comrade.
[11:56] ---
    What is it?
[11:57] ---
    A star.
[12:00] ---
    They're getting closer.
[12:03] ---
    Carossa. Mellisa.
[12:05] ---
    What?
[12:06] ---
    Can I ask you to deliver the items for me?
[12:09] ---
    Something's come up
    that I need to take care of.
[12:14] ---
    So this is the Armor
    everyone's talking about?
[12:17] ---
    It uses a liquid for its
    skeletal structure.
[12:19] ---
    How does the control system work?
    What's the power source?
[12:24] ---
    Do I have to answer, railway man?
[12:27] ---
    You don't seem to understand.
[12:29] ---
    It may be short-term, but
    upon entering the contract,
[12:32] ---
    this Armor is a land-clearing
    train and you are its operator.
[12:35] ---
    Trains always run straight
    along the tracks.
[12:39] ---
    There are no exceptions.
[12:40] ---
    No matter how special the Armor is,
    it cannot escape from the rails.
[12:46] ---
    I ride the rails tomorrow.
    I leave the rest to you.
[12:49] ---
    Hey!
[12:51] ---
    Mr. Giovanni, he only
    brought the Armor down
[12:54] ---
    so it could be registered.
[12:56] ---
    Fine.
[13:00] ---
    Is the Armor really special?
[13:07] ---
    What the hell happened that time?
[13:15] ---
    What the...?
[13:20] ---
    Watch out, Van.
[13:23] ---
    It's a little late to
    be telling me that now.
[13:25] ---
    Sorry.
[13:28] ---
    You'll find lots of parts you
    can use around here too.
[13:31] ---
    If you look carefully,
    there are some real gems.
[13:34] ---
    You customize it yourself?
    You're really something.
[13:38] ---
    I like tinkering with Armor.
[13:40] ---
    Is that right?
[13:42] ---
    I can't stand it. It's too much trouble.
[13:44] ---
    You can't be like that.
    You have to take good care of it.
[13:47] ---
    Oh, are you leaving?
[13:49] ---
    It's dangerous if anyone sees us together.
[13:52] ---
    Why?
[13:53] ---
    Some people might get suspicious.
[13:54] ---
    You're going to lose on purpose?
[13:56] ---
    Don't be ridiculous.
[13:57] ---
    Great! I don't want to
    have a fixed fight either.
[14:01] ---
    In that case, there's
    nothing to worry about!
[14:04] ---
    Right?
[14:06] ---
    You're pretty coordinated.
[14:07] ---
    Amazing, aren't I?
[14:16] ---
    Thank you.
[14:18] ---
    You get carried away
    with yourself pretty easily.
[14:24] ---
    I-I do?
[14:28] ---
    Um, I really think you're overdoing it.
[14:30] ---
    But he won't shut up.
[14:33] ---
    I know it.
[14:35] ---
    What?
[14:37] ---
    Except for Armor, I'm worthless.
[14:40] ---
    Maybe that's why it's only
    when I'm riding Brownie
[14:43] ---
    I feel like I can lose
    myself in what I'm doing...
[14:46] ---
    like I've become stronger
    than anyone else in the world.
[14:51] ---
    Am l strange?
[14:54] ---
    No. I have times like that
    too every once in a while.
[14:57] ---
    You too?
[14:59] ---
    I've never thought about
    whether I'm good for anything or not,
[15:02] ---
    but it's probably close to the same thing.
[15:04] ---
    Really? So then we're friends.
[15:07] ---
    Hey now, we're enemies.
[15:10] ---
    Oh, that's right.
[15:12] ---
    Well then, tomorrow I'll go
    all out and beat you to a pulp.
[15:15] ---
    I told you not to get
    carried away with yourself.
[15:18] ---
    You really are strange.
[15:20] ---
    What? You're mean.
[15:23] ---
    B-1 Grand Prix Final Card!
[15:25] ---
    RWC's Armor for the finals, and
    making its first appearance, "Dann"!
[15:30] ---
    Who'll be going up against Team
    Sister Mama's well-known "Brownie"!
[15:34] ---
    Go Pricilla!
[15:36] ---
    The odds favoring Brownie have
    narrowed from 8 to 2, to 6 to 4.
[15:42] ---
    That's probably because
[15:42] ---
    RWC's promotion has appealed
    to the higher income classes.
[15:48] ---
    Preparations for the victory
    party have been arranged.
[15:51] ---
    The suit I'm going to wear is finished.
[15:53] ---
    All that's left is for your
    Armor to win as planned.
[15:56] ---
    Yes, that's right. Everything
    according to plan.
[16:00] ---
    That's how it works on the railroad.
[16:03] ---
    All right, it's time to begin! Ready! Go!
[16:08] ---
    Here I come, Van!
[16:12] ---
    It's a job. Sorry, but I'm
    going to end this quick.
[16:15] ---
    Don't get carried away.
[16:17] ---
    You just keep talking.
[16:19] ---
    Here comes!
[16:20] ---
    I saw that attack coming from a mile away!
[16:23] ---
    Oh, really?
[16:25] ---
    Really.
[16:28] ---
    She's serious.
[16:29] ---
    She's faster than we thought.
[16:31] ---
    She's not fighting like
    she has in the past either.
[16:35] ---
    It's mine now!
[16:40] ---
    Van has his sword once again.
    Is he going to cut Brownie in two?
[16:45] ---
    Van, stop!
[16:46] ---
    What's that?
[16:47] ---
    She's right.
[16:49] ---
    If he ends things too quickly,
    the crowd won't get into it.
[16:51] ---
    This is it!
[16:53] ---
    You think you can beat me with that?!
[16:57] ---
    What?
[16:57] ---
    You have to hit me for it to count.
[17:01] ---
    Here I come!
[17:08] ---
    Pricilla!
[17:12] ---
    He hit her full strength.
    Does that settle it?
[17:15] ---
    No, it's not over yet!
[17:16] ---
    Brownie's standing. She's standing up!
[17:19] ---
    Sure she does. She's really something.
[17:22] ---
    The moment I attacked
[17:24] ---
    she kicked the ground
    and flung herself backwards.
[17:28] ---
    I didn't think Armor could do that,
    except for the Originals.
[17:31] ---
    I admit it.
[17:33] ---
    You and your Armor are definitely strong.
[17:36] ---
    I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do.
[17:42] ---
    I've never had this much fun before!
[17:46] ---
    Brownie's gone into full battle mode
    for the first time in this tournament!
[17:51] ---
    Can you keep up with me, Van?
[17:53] ---
    I've never seen Pricilla
    so happy since Mama died.
[17:58] ---
    You're interesting.
    What did you say your name was?
[18:03] ---
    It's Pricilla!
[18:05] ---
    Pricilla? All right. I've got it.
[18:08] ---
    That guy.
[18:09] ---
    He's sure to win, right?
[18:11] ---
    That's the plan.
[18:13] ---
    Pricilla, there's something
    I want to try out.
[18:17] ---
    Sorry but...
[18:20] ---
    bear with me for a moment.
[18:22] ---
    Whenever you want!
[18:24] ---
    All right, I won't hold back!
[18:27] ---
    Wow! What a power move!
[18:30] ---
    But... Brownie's not there!
[18:35] ---
    There you are!
[18:36] ---
    You're too slow! The championship is mine!
[18:45] ---
    Pricilla!
[18:47] ---
    Did she lose?
[18:48] ---
    Brownie!
[18:50] ---
    Does this mean she can no longer fight?
[18:52] ---
    If she does not take her
    fighting stance within 30 seconds
[18:54] ---
    her defeat becomes final.
[18:56] ---
    I can't believe that he attacked me
    by letting me hurt his own Armor.
[19:00] ---
    I should have been better equipped.
[19:03] ---
    Guess I didn't quite make it.
[19:05] ---
    Gadved, tell me, what am I missing?
[19:09] ---
    Van, why...?
[19:11] ---
    Right on time, but it's
    not a clear-cut victory.
[19:14] ---
    Finish her off and destroy her!
[19:16] ---
    No!
[19:17] ---
    Wendy!
[19:19] ---
    It's a job. You can't be sentimental.
[19:22] ---
    We need to keep quiet.
[19:23] ---
    Wait! Wait! Which one of you is Brownie?
[19:27] ---
    What?
[19:28] ---
    I am the true Rail Works finalist.
    I am the owner of the Super Armor!
[19:35] ---
    I am Zakota!
[19:37] ---
    Zakota? But...
[19:40] ---
    Sir, it appears he made it in time, but...
[19:42] ---
    But it's already almost over!
[19:44] ---
    Barging onto the field
    is against the rules!
[19:47] ---
    What's this Armor doing?
[19:48] ---
    That's right!
    Don't interfere!
[19:50] ---
    Get out of here!
[19:51] ---
    Go home you moron!
    It's just about to end!
[19:53] ---
    Shut up!
[19:54] ---
    According to the contract,
    I'm the finalist!
[19:57] ---
    Get out of here you imposter!
[19:58] ---
    Hey, don't talk like that.
[20:02] ---
    Oh, you're the one from back then!
[20:06] ---
    Van's an imposter?
[20:08] ---
    It's a complicated situation,
    but I was the alternate.
[20:11] ---
    Step aside substitute!
    It's different this time!
[20:15] ---
    I'm back as Super-Armor,
    and I'm going to settle this thing!
[20:18] ---
    All right.
[20:20] ---
    Do whatever you want.
[20:21] ---
    Pricilla, you can still operate, right?
[20:23] ---
    Yeah!
[20:24] ---
    Wait a minute!
[20:26] ---
    There's no need to wait!
[20:27] ---
    Well, looks like the fight
    is going to resume.
[20:31] ---
    I'm going to settle this big time!
    Super Rolling Attack!
[20:36] ---
    What's that?
[20:39] ---
    You've gotta do better than that!
[20:41] ---
    My technique is going to blow you away!
[20:43] ---
    Boost... On!
[20:45] ---
    You're an idiot, aren't you?
[20:51] ---
    I'm an idiot.
[20:54] ---
    RWC has ceased functioning.
[20:56] ---
    Which means,
    Team Sister Mama is the champion!
[21:02] ---
    Way to go!
    You did it!
[21:04] ---
    Thank goodness. Oh, thank goodness!
[21:07] ---
    What the hell happened?!
    Where did my plan go wrong?
[21:13] ---
    Here's the money they owed
    for breaking the contract.
[21:14] ---
    Oh, I'll hold onto it.
[21:17] ---
    That's OK. Feel free to use it.
[21:19] ---
    If he hadn't run out onto the field,
    we would have gotten more.
[21:24] ---
    I'll make up for the shortfall.
[21:26] ---
    So I'll see you in Missoghi.
[21:28] ---
    It's the closest place to our destination.
[21:30] ---
    OK. Oh and how's Joshua?
[21:34] ---
    I told him where we're
    meeting up. He's doing great.
[21:38] ---
    Kid, you're incredible.
[21:42] ---
    Van, we should get going.
[21:44] ---
    Right. Well then...
[21:47] ---
    You really don't need the prize money?
[21:50] ---
    I think I'll be all right.
[21:52] ---
    Well, in that case, you can
    eat these along the way.
[21:57] ---
    Some bread crusts.
[21:58] ---
    I feel bad...
[21:59] ---
    But thanks, I'll take them, Pricilla.
[22:02] ---
    What?
[22:04] ---
    How did you do that so easily?
[22:06] ---
    What's the big deal?
    It's just some bread crusts.
[22:08] ---
    That's not what I meant.
[22:09] ---
    You want some?
[22:10] ---
    No thanks!
[22:13] ---
    For the first time, we
    agree with each other.
[22:15] ---
    So, where are we going next?
[22:18] ---
    You didn't hear?
[22:19] ---
    Sorry.
[22:22] ---
    I wonder if I'll ever see him again.
[22:26] ---
    You'll see him again. I'm sure of it.
[22:28] ---
    Yes, I'll see him again,
    and next time I'll win.
[23:56] ---
    "Neo Originals"
[23:57] ---
    From there, Van and I took an airship.
[24:01] ---
    It was the first time I'd ever flown,
[24:03] ---
    and so my heart was
    pounding with excitement.

[24:06] ---
    It'd been a while since the two
    of us had been alone together,

[24:09] ---
    and that made my heart
    flutter a little as well.

[24:12] ---
    I tried to act a little
    more grown up that day.

[24:17] ---
    But still, when the night was over,
    all hell had broken loose.

[24:20] ---
