*An outer space slum
where the fighting never ends...*
**[01:40] ---**
*the planet "Endless Illusion."*
**[01:44] ---**
*Without anyone knowing,
a boy becomes a young man.*
**[01:49] ---**
*Without anyone knowing,
a girl is in distress.*
**[01:55] ---**
*Without anyone knowing,
this planet is about to be reborn.*
**[02:01] ---**
*This ugly world is about to end.*

"Prayers to Heaven and Peace on Earth"
**[02:13] ---**
For my final mistake,
**[02:16] ---**
I will confront you with Dahlia.
**[02:19] ---**
I will stop you from going any further.
**[02:23] ---**
Any further?
**[02:24] ---**
Van, capture Fasalina alive.
There's something I want to ask her.
**[02:28] ---**
I know!
**[02:30] ---**
As if we had time to spare.
**[02:54] ---**
I see.
**[02:55] ---**
So the mere sight of Dahlia wasn't
enough to make you understand.
**[03:03] ---**
Why?
**[03:04] ---**
Why are you so single-minded,
missing member Van?
**[03:09] ---**
You've got it wrong.
**[03:11] ---**
I'm called "Van of the Dawn."
**[03:15] ---**
Wake up, Dann.
**[03:24] ---**
I heard all about you from Gadved.
**[03:28] ---**
It's still not too late.
Won't you join the Original 7?
**[03:31] ---**
I don't like group activities.
**[03:34] ---**
You're very amusing.
**[03:38] ---**
Change course!
**[03:40] ---**
Veer to the side and stop
so we don't fall under attack!
**[03:43] ---**
Yes!
**[03:44] ---**
After that, I'm leaving here on Tanda.
Take care of things while I'm gone.
**[03:47] ---**
Where are you going?
**[03:48] ---**
Just a little up ahead.
**[03:50] ---**
I'm going to find out what she's hiding.
**[03:53] ---**
I'll go too.
**[03:55] ---**
You'll be in the way. I can do this myself.
**[03:56] ---**
What if my brother's up ahead?
**[04:01] ---**
I'll make myself useful.
**[04:05] ---**
OK, as long as you take care of yourself.
**[04:09] ---**
Yes!
**[04:11] ---**
In that case, why don't I give
you an escort with Brownie?
**[04:25] ---**
I got you!
**[04:28] ---**
What am I going to do?
**[04:34] ---**
Dear me, didn't you know?
**[04:39] ---**
You're adorable.
**[04:41] ---**
You're a scary woman!
**[04:44] ---**
Please don't despise me so.
**[04:48] ---**
Let's be friends. Friends.
**[04:57] ---**
What...?
**[04:59] ---**
What the hell happened?!
**[05:01] ---**
We can't go on a mission like this!
**[05:03] ---**
Hey. Come on. Put me down, please!
**[05:06] ---**
What are you gonna do about this, kid?
**[05:08] ---**
What are you talking about?!
You're the ones who did it.
**[05:11] ---**
You said the paint peeled
off because of the heat!
**[05:13] ---**
We did?
**[05:15] ---**
Yeah, you did!
**[05:17] ---**
You said you were gonna paint it tricolor,
and then took it apart.
**[05:20] ---**
After that, you sat around
eating and drinking!
**[05:23] ---**
You don't understand...
**[05:25] ---**
That was...
**[05:26] ---**
That was us men having a strategy session.
**[05:29] ---**
No, that was just a party.
**[05:31] ---**
All right, you guys, take
care of things here.
**[05:34] ---**
We'll be back.
**[05:35] ---**
What should I do? You want me to stay here?
**[05:38] ---**
That's not necessary. Leave it to us!
**[05:40] ---**
Hey, get Yukiko to help too.
**[05:42] ---**
Right!
**[05:44] ---**
I wonder if they're really
gonna be all right.
**[05:57] ---**
Mr. Garret, where have you been?
**[06:00] ---**
We don't have time. Hurry up and get ready!
**[06:03] ---**
It's OK.
**[06:04] ---**
There's no need to panic.
I'll see to it that the plan is a success.
**[06:09] ---**
There's not a single element
which could cause it to go wrong.
**[06:12] ---**
Right...
**[06:14] ---**
Are we in communication with our Comrade?
**[06:17] ---**
Yes, Mr. Garret!
**[06:19] ---**
I was worried. Where did you go?
**[06:23] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[06:24] ---**
There was a problem I had to settle.
**[06:30] ---**
Did you settle it?
**[06:32] ---**
Yes.
**[06:33] ---**
I know I've caused you to worry,
but it's all right now.
**[06:37] ---**
Also, Comrade, that same
group is closing in on our base.
**[06:41] ---**
You mean... what's his name... that man?
**[06:45] ---**
That is a problem.
**[06:46] ---**
No, there's no need to worry.
Fasalina is there to handle it.
**[06:51] ---**
I see. Will she be in need of some support?
**[06:56] ---**
No, from there they
wouldn't make it in time anyway.
**[07:00] ---**
I think carrying forward with the plan is
**[07:02] ---**
exactly what Fasalina would want us to do.
**[07:05] ---**
Michael, are you going to be able to
carry things out according to plan?
**[07:09] ---**
Leave it to me.
**[07:10] ---**
Very well. We're counting on you.
**[07:12] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[07:14] ---**
Fasalina is really something.
**[07:18] ---**
Everyone, as you've just heard,
the timetable remains the same.
**[07:24] ---**
Let's send Michael into space.
**[07:26] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[07:32] ---**
Where did she go?
**[07:34] ---**
Over here.
**[07:39] ---**
Damn!
**[07:47] ---**
Don't make things so difficult.
**[07:50] ---**
When I see you like that,
I feel like l'm... how should I say?
**[07:57] ---**
Like I'm going to burst into...
**[08:01] ---**
flowers all over.
**[08:04] ---**
You're...
**[08:05] ---**
Yes?
**[08:07] ---**
Not like the others.
**[08:10] ---**
You seem strangely at ease.
**[08:12] ---**
I can't tell whether you
want to fight or not.
**[08:15] ---**
I don't like this feeling.
**[08:17] ---**
It gives me the creeps.
**[08:19] ---**
It's almost as if I'm fighting
that bastard, the Claw.
**[08:24] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[08:28] ---**
There's no higher compliment for me.
**[08:31] ---**
Firing system. Final status, check.
**[08:34] ---**
Switching power.
**[08:35] ---**
M.E. set to start from space velocity two.
**[08:39] ---**
-All connectors, separation system... go.
-Remove the access arm.
**[08:41] ---**
Commence automatic countdown.
**[08:43] ---**
-Automatic countdown commencing.
-Ignition command sequencer...
**[08:47] ---**
Go.
**[08:48] ---**
Wake up, Saudade.
**[08:53] ---**
The moon...
**[08:54] ---**
How's the moon's orbit?
**[08:57] ---**
Just as we expected.
**[08:58] ---**
Excellent.
**[09:02] ---**
Say, Wendy...
**[09:03] ---**
Yes?
**[09:05] ---**
Besides the twins earlier,
**[09:07] ---**
Van's been fighting these
guys for a while, hasn't he?
**[09:09] ---**
Yes.
**[09:10] ---**
He's fought all sorts in Zonnet
and other towns before we all met up.
**[09:14] ---**
Weren't you scared during those times?
**[09:16] ---**
You must have had some pretty close calls.
**[09:18] ---**
Yeah, well... there was
one time when I had a fever.
**[09:23] ---**
That must have been awful.
**[09:24] ---**
He was probably just gonna leave you there.
**[09:26] ---**
No, he looked after me while I was sick.
**[09:31] ---**
Van did?
**[09:32] ---**
Yes.
**[09:36] ---**
Wendy, since now's a good time,
there's something I want to ask you.
**[09:40] ---**
Yes?
**[09:40] ---**
Do you like Van?
**[09:47] ---**
Why are you so shaken up, Carmen?
**[09:49] ---**
You don't talk about such
things at a time like this!
**[09:52] ---**
You startled me!
**[09:53] ---**
But if we don't talk now, when can we?
**[09:57] ---**
Well, you're right.
**[09:59] ---**
So, do you, Wendy?
**[10:02] ---**
Do I...?
**[10:05] ---**
I like him.
**[10:09] ---**
I like Van.
**[10:11] ---**
It's strange, but when I heard about Elena,
**[10:15] ---**
that's when I realized
that I really do like him.
**[10:21] ---**
So, what do you think?
**[10:24] ---**
Pricilla!
**[10:24] ---**
Right!
**[10:30] ---**
That's...
**[10:35] ---**
The place is guarded!
**[10:37] ---**
I'll deal with it! Go!
**[10:40] ---**
Guess I have no choice.
**[10:41] ---**
Pricilla, you handle it!
**[10:50] ---**
You came at a bad time,
in more ways than one!
**[10:56] ---**
Delta line number 101
is reacting to something.
**[10:58] ---**
One of the missing member's friends?
**[11:01] ---**
Yes, you may be right.
**[11:06] ---**
Michael...
**[11:08] ---**
I want to push the launch forward, so is
it all right if we start the countdown?
**[11:12] ---**
I'm ready whenever you are.
**[11:13] ---**
Thank you.
**[11:15] ---**
Timer set. Begin countdown.
**[11:39] ---**
Come on, show me your desire.
**[11:46] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[11:51] ---**
Hey, kid, we've got trouble!
**[11:53] ---**
Carlos! Do you know where Carlos is?
**[11:57] ---**
He's probably off sleeping somewhere.
**[11:59] ---**
Find him!
**[12:00] ---**
Even with all of us, we can't
go on a mission without him!
**[12:03] ---**
But all Carlos ever does is sleep.
**[12:05] ---**
Idiot! His spirit must be awake!
**[12:08] ---**
Besides, he's our secret weapon.
**[12:11] ---**
He may come in handy at the last moment.
**[12:14] ---**
Go look for him!
**[12:16] ---**
Huh? Now?
**[12:24] ---**
Chesto!
**[12:29] ---**
Wild!
**[12:30] ---**
Furious!
**[12:33] ---**
You're too violent!
**[12:35] ---**
Damn you!
**[12:39] ---**
Yes, like that.
**[12:44] ---**
Do it like that and
you'll scatter my petals.
**[12:49] ---**
Stop talking nonsense!
**[12:56] ---**
What you need is some nectar.
**[13:01] ---**
A sweet, sweet nectar that will
make you forget your rage and anger.
**[13:13] ---**
You're always using some strange ploy!
**[13:17] ---**
Must be hard for you too,
having the conversation get so serious.
**[13:21] ---**
I made a rule never to do anything
unless it was for money, but now...
**[13:27] ---**
Why have you come this far with us?
**[13:31] ---**
It's obvious, isn't it?
**[13:33] ---**
I've got some unfinished
business with Fasalina.
**[13:36] ---**
There's the matter with Hayetah,
**[13:38] ---**
and I also owe her one
for what happened in Zonnet.
**[13:41] ---**
I can't let it go until I get a
few licks in to settle the score.
**[13:45] ---**
Settle the score?
**[13:46] ---**
And the truth is that I love Van,
so I want to be with him.
**[13:51] ---**
Huh, you do?!
**[13:53] ---**
No! I'm kidding.
**[14:00] ---**
Hey, over here! Over here!
**[14:02] ---**
Such an elementary attack!
**[14:04] ---**
Looks like no one's riding you either, huh?
**[14:13] ---**
There!
**[14:20] ---**
Your movements are so obvious!
**[14:31] ---**
All right. I'd better
go meet up with Carmen.
**[14:35] ---**
Liquid hydrogen and
oxygen systems prepared.
**[14:39] ---**
Flooding the bunker.
**[14:40] ---**
Weather conditions confirmed.
**[14:42] ---**
Flare is stable.
No problems with the environment.
**[14:45] ---**
Operating safe arm device.
**[14:47] ---**
Switching guidance controls to flight mode.
**[14:52] ---**
No. No. Don't do that.
I know all about you.
**[14:58] ---**
You can't move now.
**[15:01] ---**
It hurts, doesn't it?
I know it's painful and agonizing.
**[15:05] ---**
And to think, all this pain and
suffering for absolutely no reason.
**[15:09] ---**
In that case, let me go.
**[15:11] ---**
Oh, but I want to talk to you some more.
**[15:14] ---**
Don't lie!
**[15:16] ---**
I know what you're doing.
**[15:18] ---**
You're just trying to buy time, aren't you?
**[15:21] ---**
Besides, we can talk for 100 years
and I'll still never understand you.
**[15:26] ---**
You, who've given your heart
and soul to that bastard, the Claw!
**[15:32] ---**
Yes, that's right!
**[15:34] ---**
That's wonderful, you understand me.
**[15:38] ---**
Which means you can get to know
my Comrade and me even better.
**[15:44] ---**
Come on, won't you join us?
**[15:46] ---**
Don't be ridiculous!
**[15:49] ---**
Come on, let's make the
flowers bloom together.
**[15:54] ---**
I'll take you.
**[15:57] ---**
Come on, give yourself to me.
**[16:01] ---**
Cast off everything before me.
**[16:07] ---**
Sorry, I'm a virgin,
**[16:10] ---**
and I'm not giving up my chastity to you!
**[16:18] ---**
It's not working...
**[16:27] ---**
Chesto!
**[16:30] ---**
El...
**[16:31] ---**
dora...
**[16:32] ---**
Catarata!
**[16:37] ---**
That was a close call!
**[16:39] ---**
But now that we're here,
everything's all right!
**[16:42] ---**
Don't think we're going to show
any mercy just because you're a girl!
**[16:46] ---**
I should probably thank you.
**[16:50] ---**
Oh no! Don't tell me...
**[16:53] ---**
Ah, you coward!
**[16:56] ---**
You're not getting away!
**[17:01] ---**
Damn it!
**[17:07] ---**
Could that be...
**[17:09] ---**
No! That could ruin everything!
**[17:12] ---**
If the data Melissa sent me is correct,
**[17:14] ---**
Volcain has a super-long-barrel
beam launcher!
**[17:22] ---**
That's it...
**[17:24] ---**
That's the airframe that carried
the Claw away from Zonnet.
**[17:28] ---**
There's an obstruction!
**[17:29] ---**
Where's the 101?
**[17:31] ---**
We've lost the signal!
**[17:32] ---**
It appears to have been
destroyed by enemy armor!
**[17:34] ---**
Where's Miss Fasalina?
**[17:35] ---**
She didn't want to disturb us,
so she cut all communication!
**[17:38] ---**
Everyone.
**[17:41] ---**
Please continue with the countdown.
**[17:44] ---**
It's all right. I have faith
in all of you and Fasalina.
**[17:51] ---**
*Michael, I'll see to it that
you make it into space...*
**[17:55] ---**
*for the sake of our Comrade's dream,
everyone's dream, my dream.*
**[17:59] ---**
*Yes, that's why I'm alive.*
**[18:02] ---**
*It's also how I'll redeem myself.*
**[18:22] ---**
Comrade, I've received
word from the launch base.
**[18:24] ---**
They're waiting for your permission to
start the ignition sequence as scheduled.
**[18:29] ---**
Please go ahead.
**[18:31] ---**
Ten.
**[18:32] ---**
Nine.
**[18:33] ---**
Eight.
**[18:35] ---**
Seven.
**[18:36] ---**
Six.
**[18:37] ---**
Five.
**[18:38] ---**
Four.
**[18:40] ---**
Three.
**[18:41] ---**
Two.
**[18:42] ---**
One.
**[18:43] ---**
Zero.
**[19:13] ---**
What is that?
**[19:16] ---**
Big brother?
**[19:24] ---**
Where's the woman?
**[19:25] ---**
She got away.
**[19:27] ---**
The smoke... is that her?
**[19:29] ---**
No. It's the guy who was with the Claw.
**[19:35] ---**
Could that be...
**[19:39] ---**
Saudade of Sunday is now in
orbit around Endless Illusion.
**[19:45] ---**
Detaching the rocket.
**[19:50] ---**
We've identified some debris
in the planned orbital path.
**[19:53] ---**
We diverted Fasalina's
base from its orbital path,
**[19:56] ---**
but Dann of Thursday's is still there.
**[19:58] ---**
The probability of a collision
is less than 20%, but...
**[20:03] ---**
An unforeseen situation
due to the early launch.
**[20:08] ---**
I wouldn't want anything to happen.
Let's fire a shot at it.
**[20:12] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[20:33] ---**
Michael Garret reporting.
**[20:35] ---**
My craft has successfully
removed the obstacle.
**[20:38] ---**
I will now do the planned swing-by
on route to my destination, the moon.
**[20:44] ---**
Thank you, Michael.
**[20:47] ---**
Now, please enjoy the "Time of Happiness."
**[20:51] ---**
All right, let's start getting
ready for the "Genesis Celebration."
**[20:56] ---**
Everyone at the launch base,
**[20:58] ---**
please withdraw immediately
and return here as planned.
**[21:01] ---**
Thank you!
**[21:03] ---**
It's because of you all that the
"Time of Happiness" has begun.
**[21:11] ---**
Looks like the main
power's been turned off.
**[21:13] ---**
Is there no one here?
**[21:15] ---**
I guess not.
**[21:16] ---**
Looks like they abandoned
the entire facility.
**[21:18] ---**
An immediate withdrawal
after they finished their mission.
**[21:22] ---**
They work well as a team,
**[21:24] ---**
unlike us, who can't even
keep in contact with each other.
**[21:32] ---**
Huh?
**[21:37] ---**
Carul!
**[21:38] ---**
Carmen 99!
**[21:40] ---**
There's...!
**[21:51] ---**
Oh, good!
**[21:53] ---**
I wanted to leave a message for you,
but it must have slipped my mind.
**[21:58] ---**
Let's see, what was it again...
you're the Original 7's...
**[22:02] ---**
the one Gadved...
**[22:03] ---**
You...
**[22:05] ---**
Hm? Who am I talking to?
**[22:07] ---**
The Claw!
**[22:09] ---**
Ah, Wendy!
**[22:12] ---**
I wasn't expecting you. This is perfect.
**[22:16] ---**
Aside from the message,
there's something I'd like to ask you.
**[22:23] ---**
Ask me?
**[22:24] ---**
That's right.
**[22:26] ---**
Wendy...
**[22:27] ---**
Yes?
**[22:30] ---**
Will you go on a date with me?
**[23:57] ---**
"For Whose Sake?"
**[23:58] ---**
*Strange as it
may sound, that was my first date.*
**[24:02] ---**
*I wasn't all that scared.*
**[24:05] ---**
*Anyway, I just wanted to find out
for myself what he was thinking.*
**[24:12] ---**
*No, I never had any
intention of joining his group.*
**[24:16] ---**
*Since I already had my own
group of determined, marvelous misfits.*
**[24:21] ---**
