[00:37] ---
    Where do you think you're going, Beta?
[00:45] ---
    What was that...?
[00:47] ---
    Something wrong, Ikaros?
[00:49] ---
    No.
[00:52] ---
    Gammas...
[00:54] ---
    Yes, we are interceptor
    Angeloids, type Gamma, Harpies.
[01:00] ---
    Let us go together,
    to destroy the Uranus Queen.
[01:08] ---
    It's all right. We are
    here at the request of Master.
[01:13] ---
    Master has been watching over you,
    all this time, from the sky.
[01:17] ---
    He's quite concerned about you.
[01:20] ---
    Master is?
[01:21] ---
    Well, he did make an
    unreasonable request of you at first,
[01:24] ---
    telling you to go take
    on the Uranus Queen alone.
[01:27] ---
    Once he thought about what
    would happen if you were damaged,
[01:30] ---
    he was beside himself. He said he
    wanted you to come home soon, Beta.
[01:35] ---
    Say whatever you will,
    Master misses you, Beta.
[01:40] ---
    Master is concerned about me?
    Master said he misses me?
[01:54] ---
    This is what she gets for
    being infatuated with a Downer.
[02:00] ---
    She'll wreck the
    Uranus Queen, kill the Downers,
[02:05] ---
    and return with her head
    held high, thinking I will praise her.
[02:09] ---
    That's when I'll tell
    that hunk of damaged goods...
[02:12] ---
    "You're going to be scrapped."
[02:16] ---
    I just can't wait to see what
    sort of face she makes when I do.
[02:25] ---
    Queen of the Sky
[02:34] ---
    There's no more time.
[02:38] ---
    Please, save the angel.
    She's being held by the sky.
[02:52] ---
    That strange dream again?
[02:56] ---
    Are you waking up, Master?
[02:59] ---
    Yeah.
[03:01] ---
    Where's Nymph?
[03:02] ---
    Well...
[03:05] ---
    Nymph didn't come back again?!
[03:08] ---
    No. She did not come home last night.
[03:11] ---
    Why not, why not? Why wouldn't she?
[03:14] ---
    How should I know?
    Probably just out on a whim.
[03:16] ---
    You don't have any idea
    what might have happened, Tomo?
[03:19] ---
    You sure you didn't
    unintentionally hurt Nymph?
[03:27] ---
    No, I, uh, I didn't do
    anything, you could say...
[03:30] ---
    Oh...?
[03:32] ---
    The look on your face says you
    do have some idea, Sakurai-kun.
[03:36] ---
    It's nothing at all! Nothing, nothing!
[03:38] ---
    Come to think of it,
[03:40] ---
    I saw Nymph flying
    toward the forest last night.
[03:44] ---
    You mean it?
[03:45] ---
    It looked like she
    was fretting over something,
[03:48] ---
    or maybe it was my imagination.
[03:54] ---
    Say, are you sure we
    shouldn't go look for her, Tomo?
[03:57] ---
    We're having our Christmas party tonight.
[04:02] ---
    She'll probably just
    drop in again, like last time.
[04:06] ---
    For now, we can just get ready
    for the party while we wait for her.
[04:09] ---
    Well then, let's go
    look for a tree for our party.
[04:13] ---
    As long as we're getting one,
    I'd prefer a big one.
[04:17] ---
    But if it's too big...
[04:20] ---
    In that case, I know just the place.
[04:22] ---
    There are reasonably-sized
    trees next to the river near my home.
[04:25] ---
    Amazing!
[04:25] ---
    Ei, do you have something to cut with?
[04:26] ---
    Taking a real tree and turning it
    into a decorative tree
[04:27] ---
    If you like, I can let you borrow what I've got.
[04:29] ---
    will make doing the decoration
    worthwhile, huh, Tomo?
[04:31] ---
    Yeah. Well, I'm going to go do some shopping.
[04:31] ---
    No problem. My firewood-chopping ax should do the job.
[04:35] ---
    You take it from here.
[04:36] ---
    Come back soon!
[04:39] ---
    Amazing!
[04:41] ---
    You're so fast!
[04:45] ---
    Huh...?
[04:48] ---
    No! No!
[04:49] ---
    Ikaros, you're whipping
    it too much! Stop! Stop!
[04:53] ---
    Yes.
[04:55] ---
    Aw, man...
[04:57] ---
    It's charred black.
[04:58] ---
    I am sorry.
[05:01] ---
    Never mind, never mind.
[05:03] ---
    Still, this is fun, huh?
    Just us girls, making a cake together.
[05:10] ---
    I wish Nymph were here with us, too.
[05:16] ---
    What is that?
[05:17] ---
    Oh, this?
[05:19] ---
    I brought it, thinking we could
    use it to decorate for the party.
[05:24] ---
    It's fun just looking at these, right?
[05:26] ---
    We sure have done a lot of things together.
[05:33] ---
    This picture is my favorite.
[05:36] ---
    I never imagined when we first met, Ikaros,
[05:39] ---
    that we would ever hit it off so well.
[05:42] ---
    I sure am glad.
[05:56] ---
    I see.
[05:58] ---
    This place is as good as you said it was.
[06:01] ---
    There will be nowhere for her to hide here,
[06:04] ---
    and it has plenty of visibility.
[06:10] ---
    We'll set up like we already discussed.
[06:12] ---
    You'll use your P-Stealth
    system to make us invisible.
[06:18] ---
    We'll back you up when the time comes.
[06:20] ---
    Back me up?
[06:23] ---
    With the hyperpyro
    compression cannon, Prometheus.
[06:27] ---
    It launches vaporized matter,
    heated to 3000 degrees celsius
[06:29] ---
    at 4000 meters per second.
[06:32] ---
    As long as we don't allow her enough time
[06:33] ---
    to think about raising her Aegis,
[06:35] ---
    the Uranus Queen
    is no different than you or me.
[06:38] ---
    We'll take her down in an instant.
[06:39] ---
    J-Just a minute!
    We'll take her down in an instant.
[06:41] ---
    Master's orders weren't to
    destroy her, just to bring her back.
[06:45] ---
    We're just going to persuade
    the Alpha to return, right?
[06:47] ---
    Of course.
[06:49] ---
    But if it comes to it, we have
    to be able to protect ourselves.
[06:53] ---
    Isn't that right?
[06:54] ---
    We need your help, so that we don't
    have to use these unruly things.
[07:01] ---
    It'll be fine.
[07:02] ---
    I'm sure you'll be able to
    persuade the Uranus Queen.
[07:06] ---
    This is just an insurance policy.
[07:08] ---
    This is all the will of Master.
[07:10] ---
    Can you imagine how thrilled
    Master will be if you succeed?
[07:14] ---
    Am I right?
[07:16] ---
    Master will be thrilled.
[07:20] ---
    All right.
[07:23] ---
    But promise me you won't do
    anything until I'm done persuading her.
[07:27] ---
    Yes.
[07:28] ---
    Of course.
[07:43] ---
    I wonder what your master will think
[07:46] ---
    once he finds out what you really are,
[07:48] ---
    you weapon of mass destruction!
[07:52] ---
    What are you doing?
[07:56] ---
    Nymph, the sky here is wide open.
[08:01] ---
    Yeah, we Angeloids might
    never laugh from the heart.
[08:08] ---
    If that's true... you'd want to run away.
[08:14] ---
    Isn't that right... Alpha?
[08:31] ---
    Where are you going, Ikaros?
[08:34] ---
    I just, um, need to go buy some things...
[08:38] ---
    In that case, we can call up
    Tomo. He's already out shopping.
[08:42] ---
    Yes, but...
[08:47] ---
    Listen,
[08:48] ---
    Ikaros, you promised,
    no more lies, remember?
[08:53] ---
    We're friends, so we can
    discuss anything, you know?
[09:19] ---
    All right.
[09:20] ---
    The cake will finish baking soon,
    so come back quickly, okay?
[09:51] ---
    Huh? Oh, you came to pick me up?
[09:54] ---
    Ah, perfect timing.
    You can carry one of the bags.
[09:58] ---
    I bought a bunch of tree
    decorations, noisemakers and stuff.
[10:04] ---
    Master...
    Oh, yeah...
[10:06] ---
    Here, look at this.
[10:08] ---
    Isn't this funny?
    It's a goofy Santa mask.
[10:14] ---
    Master...
[10:15] ---
    Ikaros, you try it on.
[10:22] ---
    It looks perfect on you!
[10:27] ---
    I am leaving.
[10:30] ---
    Huh?
[10:32] ---
    I came to say that I am leaving.
[10:37] ---
    It has not been very long, but thank
    you for all that you have done.
[10:45] ---
    I will not forget you, Master.
[10:50] ---
    I really... really... sincerely...
[10:55] ---
    W-What?
[10:58] ---
    This is a bad joke, right? Right, Ikaros?
[11:06] ---
    Loved you...
[11:13] ---
    my master.
[11:18] ---
    Farewell.
[12:09] ---
    No doubt about it.
[12:11] ---
    This is an attack from the sky.
[12:15] ---
    Commence blast trace data scan.
[12:18] ---
    Analysis indicates interceptor
    Angeloid, type Gamma, Harpy.
[12:24] ---
    I am picking up Nymph.
[12:30] ---
    I am probably the target.
[12:32] ---
    I am about to fight as the
    weapon that Master hates so much.
[12:37] ---
    I cannot go back to Master...
[12:41] ---
    ever again.
[12:44] ---
    "Farewell" my foot!
[12:46] ---
    Wow, it's big!
[12:49] ---
    We couldn't seem to find a good tree.
[12:52] ---
    Mikako insisted that we get a large one.
[12:55] ---
    Is Ikaros here?!
[12:56] ---
    Tomo?
[13:01] ---
    Damn.
[13:01] ---
    H-Hold on, Tomo!
[13:09] ---
    Ikaros and Nymph dropped in uninvited,
[13:12] ---
    and both disappeared on their own.
[13:14] ---
    Do they expect me to
    not be worried about them?
[13:17] ---
    This is why I didn't want
    to live together with Angeloids.
[13:21] ---
    With them gone,
[13:23] ---
    days of peace and quiet should
    be in store for me again, and yet...
[13:34] ---
    Nymph...
[13:35] ---
    Impressive. As soon as I turned
    off my stealth mode, you found me.
[13:41] ---
    I'm sorry, Alpha.
[13:42] ---
    There's something I just
    had to speak to you alone about.
[13:47] ---
    I haven't said anything, but the truth is,
[13:50] ---
    I was sent to bring you back up to the sky.
[13:53] ---
    I know.
[13:58] ---
    Oh.
[13:59] ---
    You knew.
[14:20] ---
    Why am I looking for them?
[14:26] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting,
[14:28] ---
    Tomoki.
[14:29] ---
    Sugata...
[14:31] ---
    You're looking for Ikaros and Nymph, right?
[14:36] ---
    Judging from eyewitness
    reports in the area,
[14:39] ---
    they haven't gone too far away.
[14:41] ---
    Taking into account
    direction and wind speed,
[14:43] ---
    coupled with their physical abilities,
[14:45] ---
    I would suggest that we
    search in this area.
[14:48] ---
    Sugata...
[14:49] ---
    I know exactly what you're thinking.
[14:52] ---
    Hop on, Tomoki.
[14:55] ---
    No fair, Ei,
[14:58] ---
    trying to be the only one looking brave.
[15:11] ---
    Why...?
[15:13] ---
    This isn't what we agreed to, is it?!
[15:16] ---
    You told me you would let
    me persuade her, didn't you?!
[15:19] ---
    Why did you suddenly attack?!
[15:21] ---
    You fool, we were lying.
[15:25] ---
    But then, thanks to this fool,
    we scored an easy victory, didn't we?
[15:28] ---
    That's true. Thank you, Nymph.
[15:31] ---
    We have our own particular reasons.
[15:34] ---
    You lied...? Then, Master didn't...
[15:36] ---
    All we're here for is to recover
[15:38] ---
    the Uranus System core she
    possesses... her variable wings.
[15:43] ---
    That's all that Master
    said to bring back with us.
[15:46] ---
    Which means that your role is complete.
[15:48] ---
    Oh, no! But you just said...
[15:49] ---
    Forget it! Away with you, you filthy brat!
[15:56] ---
    D-Don't...
[15:58] ---
    Hmph, this is surprisingly
    anticlimactic, huh?
[16:01] ---
    Bye-bye, Uranus Queen.
[16:04] ---
    Don't... Tomoki will be sad...!
[16:13] ---
    Paradise Song!!
[16:17] ---
    Mikako...
[16:18] ---
    Chairman, you too?
[16:21] ---
    There's no time, right? So...
[16:34] ---
    Tomo...
[16:36] ---
    You wait here.
[16:37] ---
    No! I'm coming, too!
[16:39] ---
    You can't! This could get...
[16:40] ---
    Ikaros and Nymph
    are dear friends to me, too!
[16:44] ---
    If you don't let me come,
    I'll chop you! I'll chop you to death!
[16:52] ---
    All right.
[16:57] ---
    I blew you to pieces! Serves you right!
[17:02] ---
    Nymph...
[17:14] ---
    No... No!
[17:19] ---
    What's with the banner?
[17:22] ---
    It was Mitsuki's idea.
[17:24] ---
    "Happy birthday Ikaros and Nymph."
[17:28] ---
    Do those two even have birthdays?
[17:31] ---
    Mm-mm. I asked them earlier,
    but they said they didn't, so,
[17:35] ---
    I talked it over with Sugata
    and the chairman, and had it made.
[17:39] ---
    They're angels, so we figured,
    it would have to be on Christmas.
[17:43] ---
    Why are you doing this?
[17:44] ---
    Well, I mean, Ikaros is
    still so doll-like, you might say,
[17:48] ---
    and never smiles at all.
[17:50] ---
    And Nymph sometimes
    lets on that she's so lonesome.
[17:54] ---
    So, we decided to
    take today's Christmas party,
[17:57] ---
    and make it a birthday for
    Ikaros and Nymph, as well.
[18:01] ---
    Here, look at this, Tomo. Ta-da!
[18:04] ---
    A memory album, "Sohara's collection"!
[18:06] ---
    This takes me back.
    This one is from when we went camping.
[18:11] ---
    And this is from our trip to the beach.
[18:14] ---
    There are pictures from the
    culture festival, too. Here, look.
[18:16] ---
    These are nice photos.
    I'm sure Ikaros and Nymph
[18:21] ---
    will automatically
    smile when they see these.
[18:23] ---
    I didn't know what I could do for them,
[18:27] ---
    so I figured I could at
    least start with this.
[18:29] ---
    What's the matter, Tomoki? You look down.
[18:33] ---
    You're wishing you could
    do more for them too, aren't you?
[18:37] ---
    To get Ikaros and Nymph to
    laugh, from the heart?
[18:41] ---
    I can't do anything.
    All I ever do is bring them to tears.
[18:46] ---
    I can't do anything to make them laugh.
[18:48] ---
    You should follow Mitsuki's example.
[18:51] ---
    Even if you can't do anything,
    there's still something you can do.
[18:55] ---
    There has to be something
    that only you can do.
[18:59] ---
    Assuming you don't
    want to kick yourself later.
[19:09] ---
    What kind of birthday
    present could I give them
[19:12] ---
    that would make them happy?
[19:17] ---
    Impossible! She took a
    Prometheus blast head-on!
[19:22] ---
    I don't know. Why don't you
    try asking them directly?
[19:26] ---
    I will. But before I do...
[19:30] ---
    We're taking those two with us!
[19:34] ---
    How awful.
[19:36] ---
    Nymph's wings... They were
    so pretty, and they ripped them out!
[19:42] ---
    Variable wing system safety released.
[19:45] ---
    No, Alpha! If Tomoki
    and the others find out...!
[19:50] ---
    Mode Uranus Queen on.
[19:53] ---
    Alpha!
[20:03] ---
    Master...
[20:04] ---
    I am terribly sorry,
[20:07] ---
    but I have been lying to you up to now.
[20:10] ---
    I am a strategic Angeloid,
    type Alpha, Ikaros,
[20:14] ---
    a weapon, which you despise, Master.
[20:23] ---
    Yeah, I knew.
[20:26] ---
    Say, Ikaros,
[20:28] ---
    I said that I didn't like weapons
    because I felt sorry for you.
[20:34] ---
    Yes...
[20:35] ---
    Doting on watermelons,
    and raising chicks like you did,
[20:39] ---
    you were quite kind-hearted,
    so I thought that it was too much
[20:43] ---
    for someone like that
    to be a born killing machine.
[20:49] ---
    Yes...
[20:51] ---
    Even so, Ikaros,
    this is what I think now...
[20:56] ---
    I'm sure glad you're a weapon.
    As a result, you can save our friend.
[21:02] ---
    Yes, Master.
[21:04] ---
    Please, save Nymph, Ikaros!
[21:08] ---
    Type Alpha, Ikaros...
[21:10] ---
    Go!!
[21:14] ---
    Commencing attack!
[21:15] ---
    Damn, here she comes!
[21:16] ---
    Scatter!
[21:21] ---
    This is our chance to cut Nymph's chain.
[21:23] ---
    Are you all right, Nymph?
[21:24] ---
    How awful! Your back!
[21:26] ---
    You must have a
    pretty lousy person for a Master.
[21:30] ---
    No! If you do that...!
[21:41] ---
    Why, you...!
[21:43] ---
    Die!
[21:56] ---
    Take this!
[22:02] ---
    Aegis!
[22:02] ---
    No matter! Keep firing!
[22:09] ---
    Connect.
[22:23] ---
    Is that...?
[22:24] ---
    The Uranus System!
[22:31] ---
    Cerceis.
[22:44] ---
    You can't! Besides, this collar is a bomb!
[22:44] ---
    Sugata, how can we cut through this chain?
[22:47] ---
    A chain is strong against being pulled,
[22:47] ---
    Once it reaches its time limit,
    the detonation code will be sent!
[22:50] ---
    but weak against being wrenched.
[22:51] ---
    If you upset the chain improperly,
[22:52] ---
    If we twist it, and then hit it with an ax,
    it should give.
[22:53] ---
    you might set it off!
[22:55] ---
    Let's do that!
[22:56] ---
    Listen to what I'm saying!
[22:58] ---
    You, and everything else
    around here, could all be blown up!
[23:04] ---
    So what if we are?
[23:06] ---
    We're your friends, Nymph.
[23:09] ---
    When friends are in trouble,
    they help each other.
[23:12] ---
    We're just doing what's normal.
[23:16] ---
    What do I do... Alpha?
[23:21] ---
    I don't know.
[23:25] ---
    We Angeloids have never
    considered ourselves to be happy,
[23:29] ---
    from the time we were born.
[23:33] ---
    We exist for the sake
    of our master's happiness.
[23:41] ---
    But right now,
    I'm not sure what I'm feeling.
[23:56] ---
    More than likely,
    what I'm feeling now is happiness.
[24:06] ---
    I'm sure I could laugh right now.
[24:10] ---
    Right? Don't you think so,
[24:13] ---
    Alpha?
[24:26] ---
    When I whispered to the sky
[24:32] ---
    I can laugh... from the heart.
[24:36] ---
    You smiled beside me and answered
[24:47] ---
    Retreat of hostile forces confirmed.
[24:50] ---
    Returning to normal mode.
[25:09] ---
    Hey! Ikaros!
[25:12] ---
    How about this?!
[25:13] ---
    Ta-da!
[25:15] ---
    Good...
[25:21] ---
    Wow!
[25:22] ---
    A white Christmas!
[25:29] ---
    Pretty...
[25:31] ---
    She's right.
[25:34] ---
    The sky on the earth is wide open.
[25:51] ---
    I say a prayer, unable to contain
    (I say another prayer, so as not to lose)
[25:56] ---
    the aching that fills my heart
    (the aching in my heart for you)
[26:05] ---
    I want to move forward,
    if only a step at a time
[26:15] ---
    and not interrupt our
    seasons spent together
[26:24] ---
    Standing side by side
    with you, I can't wait
[26:35] ---
    for even the future
    I once feared to arrive
[27:07] ---
    Should I let what I'm feeling reach you?
[27:17] ---
    I'm glad just to be at your side
[27:28] ---
    Under this ever-changing sky,
    I want to change as well,
[27:38] ---
    if it means I can tenderly
    smile like you someday
[28:09] ---
    Merry Christmas
[28:11] ---
    and
[28:12] ---
    Happy Birthday,
[28:14] ---
    Ikaros and Nymph!
[28:23] ---
    Listen, Ikaros and Nymph,
[28:26] ---
    you can keep on staying here, from now on.
[28:29] ---
    You know, think of it as my present to you.
[28:34] ---
    These are a little something extra.
[28:38] ---
    Tomo! You're always doing
    this, same as with me...!
[28:48] ---
    You finally laughed, Alpha.
[28:51] ---
    Y-You just laughed a
    little bit, didn't you?!
[28:55] ---
    One more time!
[28:56] ---
    Try doing it one more time!
[29:01] ---
    Grin.
[29:03] ---
    No, you dummy!!
[29:05] ---
