[00:08] Takeru
    I'm gonna take a walk and
    see if I can wake up a bit.
[00:10] Takeru
    Watch my back for me.
[00:12] Tama
    Roger that.
[00:13] Meiya
    Don't stray too far.
[00:14] Takeru
    I know.
[00:22] Takeru
    The Togashima Fortress...
[00:24] Takeru
    I guess it's like a holiday
    home for the shogun.
[00:28] Takeru
    Two of them.
[00:30] ---
    They're unarmed?
[00:32] Takeru
    Stop! And put your hands behind your head!
[00:34] Nurse
    Know your place, you insolent fool!
[00:36] Yuuhi
    Stop it.
[00:39] Takeru
    Meiya?!
[00:41] Yuuhi
    Meiya?
[00:42] Yoroi
    Running into you kids here... Good grief.
[00:45] Takeru
    Chief Yoroi?!
[00:46] Yoroi
    I guess I should appreciate
    Professor Kouzuki's initiative.
[00:49] Takeru
    What are you talking about?
    Who are these people?
[00:52] Nurse
    You are in the presence of
    Her Majesty, Koubuin Yuuhi!
[00:55] Nurse
    Now lower that gun, you insolent fool!
[00:57] Takeru
    Koubuin Yuuhi?
[00:59] Yoroi
    You would refer to the head of state of
     the Empire of Japan, Her Majesty,
[01:02] ---
    the all-powerful shogun,
    without an honorific?
[01:06] Takeru
    Th-The shogun?!
[01:08] Takeru
    This girl who looks just like Meiya?
SIGN    The Western Gate
SIGN    Battlefield
[02:44] Officer A
    Her Majesty the Shogun
    has already left the capital?!
[02:47] Officer B
    We've confirmed multiple trains leaving the
    city via assorted underground tunnels.
[02:51] Officer B
    She appears to have been in one of them.
[02:53] Officer A
    Send a force after her immediately!
[02:55] Officer A
    We cannot let her fall into the clutches
    of the IJF or the royal guard...
[02:58] Officer A
    And definitely not the UN!
[02:59] Komaki
    Do you think the intel he
    provided us with is trustworthy?
[03:00] Officer A
    Where could she be headed?
[03:02] Officer A
    Who let this happen?!
[03:04] Sagiri
    "In affairs of war, one must lead by example."
[03:09] Sagiri
    We should have anticipated this.
[03:11] Komaki
    You think Her Majesty is trying to
    move the fighting out of the city?
[03:15] Sagiri
    We're truly blessed.
[03:17] Sagiri
    Why should we hesitate in creating
    the foundation she needs?
[03:25] Sagiri
    I'm going to receive Her Majesty!
[03:28] Yoroi
    I've leaked the fact that
    Her Majesty has escaped.
[03:31] Takeru
    Why would you do that?!
[03:33] Yuuhi
    It's all right. I ordered him to do so.
[03:37] Yoroi
    If the rebel forces chase the shogun,
[03:39] ---
    then the IJF, royal guard,
    and UN will all follow...
[03:43] Yoroi
    Putting a swift end to
    fighting in the capital.
[03:46] Yoroi
    Am I wrong?
[03:47] Yoroi
    She's chosen the role of lure for herself.
[03:51] Takeru
    Why not just order all forces to stand down?
[03:56] Yoroi
    She did, of course.
[03:58] Takeru
    Why didn't they, then?
[04:00] Yoroi
    Wasn't this insurrection started by people
     upset with a lack of loyalty to the shogun?
[04:05] Takeru
    Is he saying the guys behind the
    coup are doing the right thing?
[04:07] Yoroi
    But it seems there's a group that is
    dead set on causing a Japanese civil war.
[04:12] Takeru
    Then the infantry who took the first shot...
[04:15] Yoroi
    Do you get the picture?
[04:16] Takeru
    Yes.
[04:17] Yoroi
    Then you need to escort
     Her Majesty to the Yokohama Base.
[04:22] Takeru
    W-Wait, me?!
[04:23] Nurse
    Chief Yoroi!
[04:24] Yoroi
    It should be possible for her
    to ride in your TSF, yes?
[04:28] Yoroi
    And given the situation,
    I can't think of a safer place.
[04:33] Takeru
    You've got a point, but...
[04:34] Yoroi
    I've got a bit of work left to wrap up,
[04:37] ---
    so I'm entrusting the shogun
    to you, Shirogane Takeru.
[04:40] Takeru
    Chief Yoroi?!
[04:41] Yuuhi
    I am truly in your debt for
    this assistance, Yoroi.
[04:43] Yuuhi
    And I pray for your success.
[04:45] Yoroi
    Thank you very much.
[04:47] Yuuhi
    I do not wish to hear of further
    death among my retainers.
[04:52] Yuuhi
    Please, take care.
[04:54] Yoroi
    I can't imagine the depths of
    your sorrow, Your Majesty,
[04:57] Yoroi
    but the root of this
    incident is young people
[05:00] ---
    who took up arms in an attempt to
    change this country for the better.
[05:05] Yoroi
    Even if they went about it the wrong way,
[05:07] ---
    it goes to show that Japan is still
    a country worth fighting for.
[05:10] Yoroi
    And if this roots out some of the corruption,
     then the nation may awaken anew.
[05:14] Yoroi
    That's what I believe.
[05:17] Yuuhi
    It's in your hands.
[05:19] Takeru
    Chief Yoroi, there are American
    troops at the Yokohama Base.
[05:23] Takeru
    Are you sure this is a good idea?
[05:25] Yoroi
    I'm going to make sure it is.
[05:29] Takeru
    I get it.
[05:30] Takeru
    We didn't end up here because
    it was a low-priority duty.
[05:35] Takeru
    Hell, it ended up being the exact opposite!
[05:37] Yuuko
    Isumi, the curtain's about
    to rise on this party.
[05:40] Yuuko
    You ready to go?
[05:41] Isumi
    We're itching to get started. What's the job?
[05:44] Yuuko
    Keep the enemy from reaching the dance floor.
[05:46] Yuuko
    I'm counting on you.
[05:47] Isumi
    Yes, ma'am!
[05:48] Kashiwagi
    Aw, I guess we're out of
    the spotlight this time?
[05:51] Kashiwagi
    Just once, it'd be nice
    to have a starring role.
[05:55] Hayase
    If you're that desperate,
    Kashiwagi, I won't stop you.
[05:58] Hayase
    You could sacrifice yourself while luring
    the enemy away from Her Majesty.
[06:01] Hayase
    That'd be a real tearjerker, right?
[06:04] Kashiwagi
    Well, big shots always make me
    nervous anyway, so I'll pass!
[06:09] Isumi
    Okay, ladies, our little vacation
    is officially wrapped up.
[06:13] Isumi
    We need to get to Hakone.
[06:15] ---
    Let's roll out the red carpet so that the
    rookies can enjoy their moment of glory!
[06:19] Valkyries
    Roger!
[06:28] Marimo
    This is Command Post to all 207 units.
[06:30] ---
    Here's our current sitrep:
[06:33] ---
    Ten minutes ago, we lost contact
    with the Atsugi Base.
[06:36] ---
    The signal from Odawara West HQ
    also went silent shortly after.
[06:39] Takeru
    That's central command for the frontline...

[06:49] Marimo
    We're going to do the same,
    headed towards the Shirahama Coast.
[06:52] Takeru
    Heading to the Yokohama Base over land
    would mean running right into the enemy.
[06:56] Marimo
    Enemy E1 is likely to take a detour
    through old Mishima
[06:59] Marimo
    to stop us from heading too far westward.
SIGN    Former Mishima City
[07:01] Marimo
    Enemy E2 seems headed southward
    on National Highway 135...
[07:05] Marimo
    It's likely that a third enemy group that
    has split off from them will be on our tail.
[07:09] Takeru
    We'll be blocked off on either side,
    with someone coming up behind us.
[07:12] Marimo
    We're still headed southward,
    but if E3 exists as anticipated,
[07:18] Marimo
    then the American 108th TSF Group
    will intercept, functionally luring them away.
[07:24] Marimo
    E1 and E2 are likely to coordinate
    in an attempt to surround us at that point.
SIGN    Ruins of the Hiekawa Toll Booth
[07:29] Marimo
    The area that used to be the Hiekawa toll
    booth is likely to be the critical juncture.
[07:32] Marimo
    If we can reach it before them,
    this mission's success is practically assured.
[07:36] Marimo
    And if we can't get there first,
    we'll have effectively lost.
[07:39] Yuuhi
    You're all in such a difficult position.
[07:41] Yuuhi
    All because of my shortcomings...
[07:43] Takeru
    What are you saying? It'll be okay!
[07:46] Takeru
    This happened because I changed the future...
[07:48] Takeru
    But I have to keep going!
[07:50] Marimo
    We'll be assuming Arrowhead-3 formation
    as we advance, with 06 at the center.
[07:54] Marimo
    The 19th Independent Royal Guard Flight
    will be backing us up in Hammerhead-1.
[07:59] Yuuhi
    The 19th Independent Guard Flight?
[08:03] Marimo
    As we continue westward,
    we'll rendezvous with the 11th Fleet,
[08:06] Marimo
    and then return to the Yokohama Base.
[08:08] Marimo
    For this operation, we can't expect
    any air or fire support.
[08:12] Marimo
    Shirogane.
[08:13] Takeru
    Ma'am!
[08:15] Marimo
    Our number-one priority is to escort Her Majesty,
    Shogun Koubuin, to the Yokohama Base.
[08:20] Marimo
    And that's exactly what you're
    going to do. Understood?
[08:23] Takeru
    Roger that!
[08:24] Marimo
    This duty is a greater honor
    than any of us could ask for.
[08:27] Marimo
    I'm expecting the best performance
    possible out of all of you.
[08:29] Marimo
    00 out!
[08:32] Yuuhi
    I am putting you all in such danger.
[08:36] Takeru
    We're going to get you to the
    Yokohama Base safe and sound.
[08:39] Marimo
    207th Tactical Armored Flight,
    all units, move out!
[08:42] 207th
    Roger!
[08:53] Takeru
    I'm gonna survive,
[08:55] Takeru
    retrieve those formulas, and save this world!
[08:59] Takeru
    And then I'm going home to my world!
[09:02] Takeru
    No matter what!
[09:06] IJF
    This is 604C! We're currently engaged!
[09:08] IJF
    Requesting reinforcements—
[09:14] IJF
    Damn it! They're using the same machines!
[09:17] IJF
    How is this happening?!
SIGN    Patriot
[09:24] Rebels
    We were chosen to defend
    the capital for a reason.
[09:29] Rebels
    Don't underestimate us!
[09:35] Mikoto
    They got past the IJF!
[09:39] Meiya
    Stay calm! The royal guard
    will be protecting our rear!
[09:42] Marimo
    This is 00 to all units! Keep
    your cool and maintain formation!
[09:46] Takeru
    They blew through the imperial
    army like they were nothing!
[09:48] Sakaki
    06, can't you pick up the pace?
[09:51] Takeru
    Don't be stupid! Her Majesty is strapped
    in with a basic safety harness!
[09:53] Takeru
    Any faster is a bad idea!
[09:55] Yuuhi
    It's all right. Please, go faster.
[09:57] Takeru
    Ma'am, I know you took motion sickness drugs,
[10:00] ---
    but without a fortified suit, it's too risky!
[10:02] Yuuhi
    Do it, now.
[10:09] Takeru
    Understood.
[10:11] Takeru
    06 to all units, we'll use a boost jump
    to shortcut over this valley!
[10:26] Mikoto
    We've got multiple contacts
    inbound at four o'clock!
[10:29] ---
    They're coming from over the ridge line!
[10:30] Takeru
    Say what?! Since when?!
[10:33] Marimo
    All units, weapons free!
    You may return fire at will.
[10:36] Marimo
    06 must be defended at all costs!
[10:38] Marimo
    But do not take the first shot!
[10:40] Marimo
    They shouldn't risk opening up on us!
[10:42] 207th
    Roger!
[10:43] Takeru
    I guess we're killing other humans now.
[10:45] Rebels
    This message is for the commanders
    of the UN forces and the royal guard.
[10:48] Takeru
    An open channel? It must be coming
    from the guys on our tail.
[10:51] Rebels
    We have no intention of attacking, and demand
    that you come to a stop immediately.
[10:55] Rebels
    Your actions are a grave violation
    of Japan's national sovereignty!
[11:03] Takeru
    Where are they?! Where are they coming from?!
[11:07] Takeru
    They're in visual range?
[11:08] Takeru
    Right in front of us? How'd they get so
    close without the radar picking them up?!
[11:14] Spike 1
    Drop that lock right now, dumbass!
    You trying to get yourself killed?!
[11:22] Spike 1
    This is the US Army 66th
    Tactical Armored Battalion.
[11:26] Takeru
    Those are American units?
[11:27] Spike 1
    Maintain your speed and
    get out of here, fast!
[11:29] Spike 1
    We've got this handled.
[11:31] Takeru
    We're saved...
[11:36] Marimop
    This is 207 Commander. Copy that.
[11:38] Marimop
    All units, maintain formation
    and increase to top speed!
[11:41] 207th
    Roger!
[11:53] Rebels
    They're here!
[11:54] Rebels
    Eight contacts! They're American F-15Es!
[11:58] ---
    Attention American craft,
    cease combat activities immediately.
[12:01] ---
    I repeat, cease combat activities immediately.
[12:03] 66th
    Attention unidentified craft: follow UN
    military protocol and transmit in English.
[12:09] 66th
    Follow the official international language.
[12:11] Rebels
    Your are interfering in an internal
    matter of national significance.
[12:14] Rebels
    We demand you cease combat
    activities immediately!
[12:16] 66th
    I say again, transmit in English,
    the international language—
[12:19] Rebels
    Attention American forces:
    English can eat shit.
[12:21] Rebels
    I repeat, English can eat shit!
[12:24] 66th
    What?
[12:26] Rebels
    You cowards already abandoned Japan once!
    What do you think you're doing here?!
[12:32] Rebels
    They're opening fire!
[12:33] Rebels
    Eight F-15Es... This won't be easy!
[12:35] Rebels
    Assume Formation Wing-3!
    Surround them, and wipe them out!
[12:44] Rebels
    Enemy fire from seven o'clock!
    Hostiles came out of nowhere!
[12:47] Rebels
    That can't be! There was no radar signal!
[12:50] Rebels
    There's no matching IFF signal.
[12:52] Rebels
    Those must be the new American model,
[12:54] Rebels
    the F-22!
[12:56] Rebels
    All units, scatter! Try to pincer them!
[13:07] Rebels
    This... can't be!
[13:13] Spike 1
    All units, give me a status report.
[13:16] Spike 2
    Spike-2, all green.
[13:17] Spike 3
    Spike-3, no problems.
[13:19] Spike 4
    Spike-4, a-okay.
[13:20] Spike 1
    Excellent. The enemy forces are
    surrounding our friendlies.
[13:23] Spike 1
    We'll flank them and intercept.
[13:30] Takeru
    We're saved. I guess those
    must be the new American model.
[13:34] Takeru
    It's hard to believe radar can't catch
    them at such close range.
[13:37] Takeru
    But at this pace,
[13:38] ---
    E1's going to be waiting for us by the
    time we get to the Hiekawa toll booth.
[13:42] Yuuhi
    You seem anxious. Is everything all right?
[13:45] Takeru
    Uh, yeah. It's all good!
[13:47] Yuuhi
    I see. Then you should increase
    the pace. Don't worry about me.
[13:52] Takeru
    Okay...
[13:58] Takeru
    Are you sure you're okay, Your Majesty?
[14:01] Yuuhi
    It's quite fine. I even have
    some experience at the controls.
[14:05] Yuuhi
    I may only be a figurehead, but I am
    still supreme commander of the military.
[14:08] Takeru
    Wait, you mean you've piloted a TSF before?
[14:12] Yuuhi
    That's right. Albeit with only
    ninety hours of flight time.
[14:15] Takeru
    Ninety hours?!
[14:17] Takeru
    I'm a different story, but that's more
    than everyone else in the flight!
[14:20] Yuuhi
    It wasn't on hand for certain reasons,
    but I have a personal unit, too.
[14:28] Yuuhi
    Did I say something strange?
[14:30] Takeru
    No, sorry! It was just... a surprise.
[14:33] Yuuhi
    Those born into the house of the shogun
[14:35] ---
    originally had an obligation
    to lead from the front in war.
[14:39] Takeru
    The shogun would fight in person?
[14:41] Yuuhi
    It's no longer the case, but even then,
    there were no shortage of individuals
[14:45] ---
    tied to the shogun who'd find
    themselves on the battlefield.
[14:48] Takeru
    Meiya, for one.
[14:49] Yuuhi
    And the royal guard's duty is
    to defend such individuals.
[14:54] Takeru
    Makes sense.
[14:55] Yuuhi
    I'm curious, Shirogane...
[14:57] ---
    The 19th Independent Royal Guard Flight,
     which is accompanying us...
[15:00] Yuuhi
    Is their commander a Lt. Tsukuyomi Mana?
[15:04] Takeru
    How'd you know?
[15:05] Yuuhui
    But if she is here, then it's strange.
[15:08] Yuuhui
    There's something else I'd like—
[15:09] Walken
    Contacting 207th Tactical Armored Flight.
[15:12] Walken
    This is Major Walken, commander of the
    US Army's 66th Tactical Armored Battalion.
[15:18] Walken
    Alpha Squadron is buying us some time,
[15:20] Walken
    but it's still too early to breathe easy.
[15:22] Walken
    A resupply point has been
    set down at Kameishi Pass.
[15:24] Walken
    We're requesting that you
    rendezvous with us there.
[15:26] Takeru
    As glad as I am for the chance to resupply...
[15:28] Takeru
    Wait, maybe he's just confident
    that they can slow them down?
[15:33] Yuuhi
    The American pilots are
    risking their lives, too.
[15:36] Yuuhi
    Hurry along.
[15:37] Takeru
    Right.
[15:45] Takeru
    I'm so sorry. I was hoping you could get
    some fresh air during the resupply, but...
[15:49] Yuuhi
    There's no need for concern.
[15:51] Takeru
    Okay.
[15:56] Takeru
    Your Majesty, weren't you
    about to ask me something?
[15:59] Yuuhi
    Earlier?
[16:00] Yuuhi
    Right, I did have a question for you.
[16:04] Yuuhi
    If Lt. Tsukuyomi is accompanying us,
[16:07] ---
    there should have been a
    Takemikazuchi among your number.
[16:12] Takeru
    Hey, I get it now!
[16:13] Takeru
    That Takemikazuchi must have
    been the shogun's personal unit!
[16:17] Yuuhi
    Shirogane...
[16:18] Takeru
    M-Ma'am?!
[16:19] Yuuhi
    When we first met, you
    called me the name "Meiya."
[16:23] Takeru
    Th-That's right...
[16:24] Yuuhi
    Is Mitsurugi Meiya a member of your unit?
[16:27] Takeru
    That's right.
[16:28] Yuuhi
    Then why isn't the Takemikazuchi
    among your number?
[16:33] Takeru
    Meiya hasn't used it. Says she
    doesn't want special treatment.
[16:38] Yuuhi
    That does sound like her.
[16:41] Yuuhi
    There's apparently never been a case of her
    wholeheartedly accepting one of my gifts.
[16:46] Takeru
    Apparently?
[16:48] Takeru
    Uh, Your Majesty, I've gotta know...
[16:50] Yuuhi
    Yes?
[16:51] Takeru
    I haven't been around here for that long,
     so I'm not clear, but...
[16:55] Takeru
    You and Meiya are... sisters, right?
[17:00] Takeru
    Sorry! I probably shouldn't
    have asked, right?
[17:03] Yuuhi
    It's all right.
[17:04] Yuuhi
    What has she told you of her background?
[17:08] Takeru
    Only that she's a distant
    relative of the shogun's house.
[17:12] Takeru
    But... the two of you are identical.
[17:15] Takeru
    Both the way you look,
    and a lot about your personalities.
[17:17] Yuuhi
    I'd imagine that's the case
    because we are actually twin sisters.
[17:27] Yuuhi
    Shirogane, I have a favor to ask of you.
[17:30] Takeru
    What do you need?
[17:32] Yuuhi
    Please give this to her.
[17:35] Takeru
    What's this?
[17:36] Yuuhi
    A symbol of the time that
    she and I spent together.
[17:39] Takeru
    A symbol of your time together?
[17:42] Yuuhi
    It was the only thing
    I took with me when I fled.
[17:45] Takeru
    Isn't it super important, then?!
    And you're trusting me with it?
[17:48] Yuuhi
    I would like her to receive it from you,
     someone she clearly trusts.
[17:52] Takeru
    I...
[17:53] Yuuhi
    What you've told me has made her
    feelings on the matter clear.
[17:57] Takeru
    Couldn't you give it to her in person?
[18:01] Yuuhi
    She has no elder twin sister.
[18:04] Yuuhi
    And the shogun has no younger twin sister.
[18:09] Takeru
    I guess this means they're both prepared
    to deal with everything that entails.
[18:16] Takeru
    I understand. I swear that
    I'll get it to Meiya.
[18:20] Yuuhi
    Please.
[18:23] Walken
    Attention 207th Tactical Armored Flight.
[18:26] Walken
    The enemy forces have
    arrived at Yamaguchi Pass.
[18:29] Walken
    We're going to incorporate you into
    our command, and head out immediately.
[18:33] Walken
    We'll be guarding the flanks and rear.
[18:36] Walken
    Walken out.
[18:41] Takeru
    I never would've guessed Meiya
    and Her Majesty were twins.
[18:44] Takeru
    Your Majesty, are you okay?
[18:47] Takeru
    This is bad!
[18:49] Takeru
    I'm going to slow down.
[18:51] Yuuhi
    You... must not!
[18:53] Takeru
    But...
[18:54] Yuuhi
    Motion sickness... is no threat to my life.
[18:58] Takeru
    Still...
[18:59] Yuuhi
    If we go any slower,
    countless lives could be lost.
[19:04] Yuuhi
    That must be avoided... at all costs!
[19:07] Takeru
    Motion sickness can kill
    you if it gets bad enough!
[19:09] Takeru
    But she's just as stubborn as Meiya!
[19:13] Takeru
    Not to mention...
[19:14] Takeru
    If it gets too serious,
    it'll crater national morale,
[19:18] Takeru
    and there'll be even more stupid
    fighting between humans!
[19:22] Walken
    Hunter-1 to all units.
[19:25] Walken
    An enemy force that advanced
    through old Mishima City
[19:27] ---
    has made it to the Hiekawa toll booth.
[19:29] Walken
    The 174th Tactical Armored Flight
    Battalion has engaged them.
[19:33] Takeru
    Hiekawa?! That's the mission critical point!
[19:36] Takeru
    The rebel forces are reacting way too fast!
[19:38] Takeru
    Did they rush on at full speed without
    considering we'd change course?
[19:43] Takeru
    Could our plan have been leaked?
[19:46] Takeru
    Damn it!
[19:50] USAF
    Russian camo?! Then they're aces
    from the Fuji Training Corps!
[19:53] USAF
    Watch your asses!
[19:55] Walken
    All units, maintain course.
[19:57] Walken
    We're going to pass through
    Hiekawa at top speed!
[20:00] Walken
    The 174th seems to be fighting
    against the Fuji Garrison.
[20:03] Marimo
    What?! Then the Fuji Training Corps
    have sided with the rebels?
[20:07] Takeru
    The training corps...
[20:09] Takeru
    I get it!
[20:10] Takeru
    The Fuji Corps were already out in front,
    and E1 was just shepherding us towards them!
[20:14] Takeru
    And the force that we thought was E1 this
    entire time were actually from Fuji!
[20:17] Takeru
    That explains how they
    got into position so fast!
[20:19] Walken
    But this just proves that if we can get
    past Hiekawa, they'll be out of options!
[20:24] Takeru
    It's true, there are no
    other IJF bases up ahead.
[20:27] Takeru
    We'd even be able to slow down,
    and they couldn't catch up.
[20:30] Takeru
    Our biggest priority right now is keeping
    Her Majesty away from the rebels!
[20:34] Takeru
    It has to be done, for the
    sake of humanity's future!
[20:37] Yuuhi
    Shirogane... do not concern
    yourself so much with me.
[20:39] Walken
    This is Hunter-1 to Heat Leader.
    No change in course.
[20:41] ---
    I repeat, there will be no change in course.
[20:42] Takeru
    Okay.
[20:44] Takeru
    You've gotta make it through this!
    I'm begging you!
[20:46] Takeru
    If we can just get past Hiekawa,
    this stupid battle will be over!
[20:51] Walken
    Hunter-1 to field commanders,
    assume formation Trail-1!
[20:54] Walken
    207th, your top priority is getting clear!
[20:57] Marimo
    This is 00, roger that.
[20:58] Takeru
    There's 1.5 km to Hiekawa...
[21:01] Takeru
    Are we gonna make it?!
[21:16] Walken
    The enemy's made it to the toll booth.
[21:19] Walken
    But with the shogun in our possession,
    they have to be careful about their next move.
[21:23] Takeru
    But what if they're not
    actually trying to secure her?
[21:28] Takeru
    If anything happens to her, and they
    manage to blame the US for it,
[21:32] Takeru
    the fallout would be...
[21:33] Walken
    Hunter-9 and Hunter-13, keep that enemy
    encirclement from coming together.
[21:37] 9/13
    Roger that!
[21:41] Walken
    Hunter-1 to Hunter-5, go
    after the enemy pursuers!
[21:45] 5
    Hunter-5, copy that.
[21:49] Takeru
    Three flights of F-22s,
    putting together a defensive line...
[21:53] ---
    Was this the Major's plan?
[21:54] Walken
    Hunter-1 to field commanders.
    We're going to break through their center!
[21:57] Marimo
    Roger.
[21:58] Takeru
    There are so damn many of them!
    Are we gonna make it?!
[22:08] Takeru
    If we can just get through...
    If we can just...
[22:14] Takeru
    We have to keep going!
[22:17] Takeru
    There's no other way!
[22:34] Takeru
    We made it!
[22:35] Walken
    The operation is a success. The rebel forces
    won't be able to pin us down at this point.
[22:39] Walken
    Once we're past the ruins of Fujimidai,
    we'll switch to nape-of-Earth flight.
[22:42] Walken
    Head toward the valley.
[22:44] Takeru
    That'll mean less stress
    on Her Majesty, too.
[22:47] Takeru
    Your Majesty, we're almost—
[22:50] Takeru
    Your Majesty?!
