[03:26] Takeru
    Son of a bitch!
[03:30] Haruka
    Shirogane's unit is surrounded
    by 23 Fort-Class.
[03:34] Haruka
    In addition to 48 Grappler-Class...
[03:36] Haruka
    And an uncountable number of Tank-Class!
[03:38] Akane
    Shirogane!
[03:41] Akane
    Lieutenant Hayase, please!
    At least let us give him cover fire!
[03:44] Hayase
    Can't. It'd defeat
    the point of the diversion.
[03:46] Hayase
    Focus on the enemy in front of you!
[03:48] Akane
    But Lieutenant—
[03:50] Meiya
    Suzumiya.
[03:51] Meiya
    He said he would manage.
[03:54] Meiya
    I ask you to have faith in Takeru.
[03:56] Meiya
    He's fighting to overcome
    his weakness as we speak.
[04:01] Ayamine
    Shirogane didn't run before.
    And he didn't die, either.
[04:06] Akane
    Ayamine... Mitsurugi...
[04:08] Touko
    Lieutenant!
[04:09] Touko
    The enemies are dropping like flies!
[04:18] Kashiwagi
    Amazing...
[04:19] Akane
    Shirogane...
[04:20] Munakata
    He's doing it...
[04:21] Takeru
    Just try it.
[04:23] Takeru
    Go ahead and try to kill me!
[04:27] Takeru
    I have to change the world!
[04:31] Takeru
    I don't want to lose anyone else!
[04:38] Ozawa
    To fight so many Fort-Class by himself...
[04:42] Yuuko
    All of A-01 has the new OS
    installed in their TSFs.
[04:46] Yuuko
    It's only natural they'd manage
    this kind of performance.
[04:50] Ozawa
    Once the new system has been
    adopted by all armed forces...
[04:55] Ozawa
    It may mean fewer casualties
    than ever before.
[05:00] Yuuko
    The original creator
    said the same thing, Admiral.
[05:05] Ozawa
    It's not your creation, XO?
[05:09] Yuuko
    No, sir. It's his.
[05:13] Ozawa
    Incredible! You mean to say...?
[05:16] Touko
    The diversion's a success!
[05:17] Touko
    There's a gap in the
    perimeter of the Fort-Class!
[05:20] Tama
    Takeru-san!
[05:22] Mikoto
    Takeru really is amazing!
[05:24] Ayamine
    But we knew that.
[05:25] Chizuru
    Yeah. He's done it again.
[05:28] Meiya
    Takeru...
[05:32] Hayase
    Okay, that takes care of them.
[05:33] Hayase
    All of you, turn around and
    go to maximum NOE speed!
[05:36] C/B Flight
    Roger!
[05:38] Hayase
    You did great, Shirogane!
[05:40] Hayase
    Now get out of there!
[05:41] Takeru
    Can't! The rear guard will still
    catch you guys at this rate!
[05:44] Takeru
    I can buy you more time!
[05:47] Hayase
    All right, but you'd better catch up with us!
[05:50] Takeru
    Roger!
SIGN    Meanwhile, at Whiskey Unit
[05:55] IJF Pilot 1
    Die, you monsters!
[05:59] IJF Pilot 1
    Damn it, where's our artillery support?!
[06:02] IJF Pilot 1
    What a joke!
[06:04] Akira
    Look out!
[06:08] IJF Pilot 2
    04!
[06:09] IJF Pilot 2
    Can you get up, 04?!
[06:12] IJF Pilot 1
    It's no good!
[06:13] IJF Pilot 1
    My drivetrain is shot...
[06:15] IJF Pilot 2
    Then bail out, dumbass!
[06:17] Akira
    You've gotta hurry! Come on!
[06:19] Akira
    Commander!
[06:21] IJF Pilot 1
    Isumi...
[06:26] IJF Pilot 1
    Sorry. Looks like I'm going first.
[06:49] Ikaruga
    You don't appear hurt.
[06:51] Ikaruga
    You may fall back.
    The Royal Guard will hold this position.
[06:55] Akira
    R-Roger!
[06:58] Ikaruga
    Tsukuyomi, formation Wing Double V.
[07:01] Ikaruga
    Notify the entire squad.
    We're moving the line forward.
[07:04] Tsukuyomi
    Sir. This is Crest-2 to
     Royal Guard 16th Group.
[07:09] Tsukuyomi
    Assume formation Wing Double V and advance!
[07:11] Ikaruga
    Follow me, warriors!
[07:23] Takeru
    Outta the way!
[07:29] Takeru
    Shit—
[07:33] Isumi
    You alive, Shirogane?
[07:34] Takeru
    Thanks for the save, Captain!
[07:37] Isumi
    Time to hunt those Heavy Laser-Class.
[07:39] Isumi
    Let's go!
[07:40] Takeru
    Roger!
[07:43] Pyatkh
    Echo's collective losses are at 37%.
[07:47] Pyatkh
    Notice to Echo and Whiskey:
    A-02 is entering its final approach.
[07:47] Haruka
    XO! A-02 is entering its final approach.
[07:52] Yuuko
    Here she comes.
[07:52] Pyatkh
    I repeat, A-02 is entering
    its final approach.
[07:53] Yuuko
    Suzumiya, we'll have Isumi and the others
    hold out for as long as they can.
[07:57] Yuuko
    I'll let you know
    when to have them fall back.
[07:58] Haruka
    Roger.
[07:59] Ozawa
    The time has come.
[08:01] Ozawa
    I pray that the sacrifices made by
    both armies in this operation
[08:04] Ozawa
    will have been worth it.
[08:08] Yuuko
    Rest assured, Admiral...
[08:10] Yuuko
    I intend to prove that it'll take
    more than the BETA to eradicate mankind.
[08:17] Haruka
    Valkyrie Mom to Valkyries!
[08:19] Haruka
    A-02 is in its final approach
    and beginning firing preparations.
[08:23] Haruka
    No alterations in the firing coordinates.
[08:29] Takeru
    She's finally here...
[08:32] Takeru
    Sumika's here.
[08:36] Isumi
    You all heard that!
[08:37] Isumi
    We're turning around and falling back
    in Arrowhead II formation.
[08:40] Isumi
    Let's get out of the path of fire!
[08:43] A-01
    Roger!
[08:46] Pyatkh
    Picking up high-level energy readings from
    Heavy Laser-Class. Four sources detected!
[08:53] Pyatkh
    A-02 is under fire from Laser-Class.
[08:56] Pyatkh
    Four seconds remain until maximum output.
[08:58] Pyatkh
    Three... Two... One...
[09:02] Pyatkh
    Fire intensity at maximum.
[09:03] Takeru
    Sumika!
[09:13] Takeru
    Not a scratch?!
[09:15] Pyatkh
    Another Laser-Class volley is incoming!
[09:16] Pyatkh
    Eight sources detected!
[09:25] Pyatkh
    Rutherford field is warping
    within acceptable levels.
[09:28] Pyatkh
    All systems are functional. No anomalies.
[09:31] Ozawa
    Th-This is...
[09:33] Yuuko
    Well, let's get to work.
[09:37] Sumika
    Anterior safety hatch deployed.
[09:41] Sumika
    Particle cannon charge rising.
[09:43] Sumika
    65%... 70%...
[09:46] Sumika
    75%... 80%...
[09:49] Sumika
    85%... 90%... 95%...
[09:55] Sumika
    Charged particle cannon ready.
[09:57] Yuuko
    Fire!
[10:30] Abe
    The hive... was demolished.
[10:33] Abe
    Humanity, at long last...
[10:37] Abe
    We've...
[10:40] Abe
    We've finally...
[10:44] Abe
    struck back at those bastards!
[10:48] Trooper
    Hooray for humanity!
    Hooray for Oscar Flight!
[10:48] Other Trooper
    Commander, they did it! Humanity can win!
[10:51] Operator
    The hive is collapsing!
    I repeat, the hive is collapsing!
[10:54] Takeru
    One shot... It only took
    one shot to blow it away.
[10:59] Takeru
    No, not just the hive,
    but all of the BETA on the surface.
[11:03] Takeru
    This is the Susano-O?
[11:05] Takeru
    No... the power of the 00-Unit?
[11:11] Mogami Operator 1
    The entire surface structure has
    been destroyed. Only the foundation remains.
[11:15] Mogami Operator 2
    No residual BETA detected.
[11:18] Ozawa
    This... This is magnificent.
[11:20] Ozawa
    What remarkable firepower!
[11:23] Ozawa
    Ma'am, your name will
    go down in history for this.
[11:27] Yuuko
    It's not that significant, sir.
[11:30] Yuuko
    We can't worry about history books
    until we've scoured the Earth of BETA.
[11:35] Yuuko
    I'll save any celebratory feelings
    for after this battle's been won.
[11:40] Haruka
    Valkyrie Mom to Valkyries,
    120 seconds until A-02 can fire again.
[11:44] Haruka
    Please move to direct support
    positions immediately.
[11:48] Pyatkh
    A-02 has entered
    charged particle cannon firing sequence.
[11:51] Isumi
    A-01 to flight leaders!
[11:53] Isumi
    Split up, and take up your
    guard positions! I want full alert!
[11:56] Hayase
    Stay frosty, B-Flight!
    Remember, they love to dig!
[12:00] B-Flight
    Roger!
[12:01] Mikoto
    Did... you guys see that?!
[12:04] Tama
    All of those BETA, gone in a flash!
[12:07] Chizuru
    With a weapon like this, humanity can win!
[12:17] Takeru
    It blew everything away.
[12:19] Takeru
    Including the despair and resignation the
    people of this world have been living with.
[12:24] Takeru
    This represents a concrete
    possibility of humanity's survival,
[12:27] Takeru
    just like Yuuko-sensei said.
[12:28] Takeru
    And it's a reality now!
[12:31] Haruka
    Ten seconds until A-02 fires!
    All units, brace for impact!
[12:38] Haruka
    Particle cannon charge...
[12:41] Haruka
    80%... 85%... 90%...
[12:45] Haruka
    95%...
[12:47] Haruka
    Full charge.
[12:48] Yuuko
    Fire!
[13:16] Takeru
    Holy shit.
[13:22] Takeru
    Are these my memories?!
[13:24] Takeru
    If I've been reliving my life
    on this world every time I died...
[13:27] Takeru
    Could I have ended up... with Meiya before?
[13:40] Isumi
    All units, evasive maneuvers!
    Do not get caught in that Rutherford field!
[13:44] Pyatkh
    Spatial coordinates can't be sustained!
    The unit is going to land!
[13:46] Mogami Operator 1
    Kaluza–Klein Echo is failing!
[13:47] Mogami Operator 1
    Moorcock-Lechte Drive output
    is losing stability!
[13:51] Mogami Operator 2
    Detecting an irregular split in the
    Rutherford field's dimensional border surface!
[13:55] Mogami Operator 1
    A-02 has made contact with the cliffside!
[13:57] Pyatkh
    It's not responding! And coming down!
[14:07] Pyatkh
    The Moorcock-Lechte Drive is silent
    and Rutherford field is down.
[14:10] Pyatkh
    Plan B cannot continue.
[14:12] Ozawa
    The Susano-O...
[14:14] Ozawa
    XO, what can be done now?
[14:15] Yuuko
    I want a systems check!
    Find out why this happened!
[14:18] Pyatkh
    It's underway, but...
[14:20] Pyatkh
    There's no sign of any malfunctions in A-02!
[14:23] Yuuko
    What?!
[14:23] Lady Operator
    A-02 is down! I repeat,
    A-02 has crashed down!
[14:24] Yuuko
    Wait...
[14:26] Hayase
    The Susano-O...
[14:28] Isumi
    I want all of you in defensive positions
    and standing by for orders!
[14:32] Takeru
    It fell...
[14:35] Takeru
    Did something happen to Sumika?!
[14:37] Yuuko
    You read me, Shirogane?
[14:39] Takeru
    Sensei, what happened to the Susano-O?!
[14:41] Yuuko
    The XG-70's mechanical systems
    are fully operational.
[14:45] Yuuko
    But it's not accepting the restart code.
[14:47] Takeru
    Then is it Sumika?
[14:49] Takeru
    Has the 00-Unit shut down?
[14:52] Yuuko
    You can relax.
    She's not in critical condition.
[14:56] Yuuko
    The reason we can't assume
    remote control has to do
[14:59] Yuuko
    with the 00-Unit being in stand-alone mode.
[15:01] Yuuko
    In human terms, she's unconscious.
[15:06] Yuuko
    Here's what you need to do:
    Recover the 00-Unit and withdraw from battle.
[15:11] Yuuko
    I've sent you all the data you'll need.
[15:13] Takeru
    What about the Susano-O?
[15:16] Yuuko
    In accordance with Plan G,
    we'll ultimately be blowing it up.
[15:20] Takeru
    B-Blow it up!?
[15:21] Takeru
    But isn't it humanity's secret weapon?!
[15:24] Yuuko
    As long as the possibility of the BETA
    having advanced intelligence exists,
[15:27] Yuuko
    we can't risk them capturing the XG-70.
[15:31] Yuuko
    Besides, you need to understand:
[15:33] Yuuko
    The 00-Unit is mankind's secret weapon.
[15:36] Takeru
    But wouldn't the autopilot be
    enough to have it return to base?
[15:40] Yuuko
    I just told you,
    it's not accepting remote control!
[15:42] Yuuko
    I'll have Isumi activate it directly.
[15:44] Yuuko
    We're running out of time,
    so I'm patching her in.
[15:46] Yuuko
    Sorry about the delay.
[15:48] Yuuko
    The top priority of this mission is
    retrieving the 00-Unit unharmed.
[15:52] Yuuko
    Then comes disposing
    of the XG-70 via explosives.
[15:55] Yuuko
    If time allows, we'll attempt
    to activate autopilot manually.
[16:00] Yuuko
    But if we can't get it in the air
[16:02] Yuuko
    before the the slowest
    of the ships has left the war zone...
[16:05] Yuuko
    We'll need to detonate it in the end.
[16:07] Yuuko
    Got it?
[16:08] Isumi
    Yes, ma'am!
[16:08] Takeru
    Yes, ma'am!
[16:10] Yuuko
    After you collect the 00-Unit, Shirogane,
[16:12] Yuuko
    I want you leaving
    the combat zone via NOE flight.
[16:14] Yuuko
    Once you're out to sea,
    head northward at top speed,
[16:17] Yuuko
    and come directly to the flagship.
[16:20] Yuuko
    After Shirogane retrieves the 00-Unit,
[16:23] Yuuko
    Isumi will head to the control block,
    and try to engage the autopilot.
[16:27] Yuuko
    I need you two to get to work.
[16:30] Yuuko
    Plan G will be announced in five minutes.
[16:32] Isumi
    Roger!
[16:32] Takeru
    Roger!
[16:34] Isumi
    I'm headed to the main hatch.
[16:47] Isumi
    Entering passcode...
[16:49] Isumi
    And accepted.
[17:08] Takeru
    Sumika!
[17:10] Isumi
    Hey, Shirogane!
[17:12] Takeru
    Hey! Sumika!
[17:14] Takeru
    Sumika! Come on, Sumika!
[17:17] Takeru
    Are you okay?!
[17:18] Takeru
    Sumika!
[17:19] Isumi
    Sumika?
[17:21] Takeru
    Is she really okay?! Sumika!
[17:24] Yuuko
    Settle down!
[17:26] Yuuko
    And don't agitate her, not when
    we don't know what caused this.
[17:37] Takeru
    I-I'm recovering the 00-Unit.
[17:45] Isumi
    Shirogane...
[17:48] Isumi
    Is that girl... the 00-Unit?
[17:55] Isumi
    I see. That's what you meant.
[17:58] Takeru
    Captain?
[18:00] Isumi
    Don't worry. Let's get her
    out of here. I'll help.
[18:03] Takeru
    I'll take care of it.
    You need to activate the autopilot.
[18:07] Takeru
    Please, don't let them blow up the Susano-O.
[18:10] Isumi
    Okay.
[18:14] Touko
    Captain, we've got more than a division's
    worth of BETA moving underground!
[18:19] Isumi
    Where are they estimated to surface?
[18:20] Touko
    They're registering all across the island!
[18:22] Touko
    It seems likely they're responding to the
    ships that are recovering Whiskey and Echo.
[18:27] Haruka
    Valkyrie Mom to Valkyries,
    BETA are surfacing all across Sado!
[18:32] Isumi
    You heard her, Hayase, Munakata.
[18:35] Isumi
    Take your flights and set up a perimeter.
[18:38] Isumi
    Do not let the BETA reach the Susano-O!
[18:39] Commanders
    Roger!
[18:46] Isumi
    I'm going to need some time.
[18:48] Isumi
    Shirogane, get the hell out of here.
[18:50] Yuuko
    Hold it.
[18:51] Yuuko
    A bunch of Fort-Class and Laser-Class have
    popped up near Mano Bay, along the evac route.
[18:58] Yuuko
    Isumi, keep trying to get
    the autopilot online.
[19:00] Yuuko
    We're going to chart another
     evac route for the 00-Unit.
[19:03] Yuuko
    Shirogane, be ready to move
    at a moment's notice.
[19:06] Yuuko
    Got it?
[19:07] Takeru
    Roger.
[19:13] Yuuko
    I'm back.
[19:15] Ozawa
    Maybe it'd be wisest to have him
    fly directly to the mainland.
[19:18] Yuuko
    If we're detonating A-02,
    then that isn't an option.
[19:22] Yuuko
    But if we have him take too much of
    a detour, he'll run out of propellant.
[19:26] Yuuko
    And if we rendezvous
    any closer to the island,
[19:29] Yuuko
    he'll be low on fuel, and likely
    caught in the blast of the explosion.
[19:33] Ozawa
    I see. Then the previous route
    was truly the best option.
[19:39] Yuuko
    I'd say the real problem is figuring out
    how to get him to these coordinates.
[19:48] Ozawa
    I think I may have a plan, XO.
[20:14] TSF Pilot
    I thought they blew up the hive!
[20:17] TSF Pilot (M)
    This is Oscar to Papa!
    We need a way out of the combat zone—
[20:17] Penal Pilot 1
    It's no good! They've abandoned us!
[20:20] Komaki
    Hold strong!
[20:22] Komaki
    We need to save as many of our
    comrades as we can by holding out!
[20:28] Komaki
    Come and get me, you BETA scum!
[20:38] Komaki
    Th-The combined fleet?!
[20:41] Mogami Operator 1
    The 2nd Squadron
    has entered the bay's waters!
[20:44] Mogami Operator 1
    The Shinano, Mino, and
     Kaga are all still intact!
[20:47] Yuuko
    They effectively made it into the
    bay untouched... That's a miracle.
[20:51] Haruka
    This is Valkyrie Mom to Valkyries!
    Plan G is now entering Phase 2!
[20:54] Kozawa
    This is where things get hairy, Abe-kun.
[20:56] Haruka
    I repeat...
[20:57] Haruka
    We are now in Plan G, Phase 2!
[21:01] Isumi
    You heard them. Get going, Shirogane.
[21:03] Takeru
