Seriously?
What's with this huge force?
It doesn't matter. We're not a part of Tekkadan anymore.
As if they'd understand.
They'll hunt us down if they find us.
Does it mean we're Tekkadan no matter how far we run?
Zack...
Your orders were to wait after surrounding Tekkadan's main base.
But are you sure about this?
To revive the once-fallen authority of Gjallarhorn,
we must show the world our just cause.
Maintain that situation until I reach Mars.
Yes, sir.
That's how it is.
I leave it to you to control the civilian media.
Leave it to me, sir.
We, the Arianrhod Fleet, must regain peace in the Earth sphere.
McGillis Fareed, the traitor who turned against the Seven Stars,
and Tekkadan, the armed organization aiding him, shall be wiped out.
We have surrounded Tekkadan's main base on Mars.
We have called out for their surrender, but they are not responding.
So we shall begin the operation tomorrow at noon Mars time as planned.
President...
Now they have nowhere to run.
What will you do now, McGillis?
The situation has become much simpler.
If we wipe them out now, it'll all be over with.
You must be in favor of fighting here on your home ground.
I'll fight if Orga tells me to.
What do you want to do?
I just do whatever Orga wants me to.
Orga Itsuka has nothing to do with this.
I'm asking how you feel.
How many times do I have to tell you?
What Orga wants to do is what I want to do.
Somebody's shouts are crumbling away
I heard the sound of pain with every step I took
A fragment of a voice like a scream I'd heard before
I knew from the start that it was actually my own voice
A transitory flash of brilliant light
Like a flower blooming on a battlefield
Be beautiful, warrior.
No love, never-ending decadence A lonely fighter
If not for eternity...
continue fighting
A world with no sadness, sins, or pain Let's set out for it
If not for eternity...
reach out for it, fighter
Fate, it's your time to change
No love, never-ending decadence A lonely fighter
If not for eternity...
to some place other than here
A transitory flash of brilliant light
Be like a flower blooming on a battlefield, fighter
All our communication cables have been cut off.
As for LCS, they shoot down all our drones.
If we can't use the QCCS,
we can't get any outside information, let alone contact Mr. Makanai.
Gjallarhorn hasn't done anything just yet.
But they could attack at any moment.
We're stuck in a dead end.
Then should we attack first?
No way, they've got way bigger forces.
What do we do, Boss?
What can we do? We've decided to run.
So we just run.
Have you been listening?
Even if we could escape, they'd keep chasing us forever.
As long as we can escape, we win.
After that, we demolish this place and make it look like we're wiped out.
Wiped out?
Yeah. We just have to make them believe we all died.
We can contact old Makanai after that.
You're right.
That way, they won't keep chasing us.
- Amazing... - Get real.
It's impossible to get out of here.
Actually, there might be a way.
There are old transmission cables under here from the Calamity War.
If the tunnels are still there, we could escape to Chryse.
Is that possible?
Seriously?
Eugene, go check out that tunnel right now with him.
Okay, got it.
Listen up.
This battle isn't about killing somebody to get it over.
This battle is about every single one of us surviving.
That's our objective.
Stay alive, and we'll get the best of them by surviving this.
Got it?
Never back down.
He's crazy.
But he's like the old Orga again.
Yeah, I thought so too.
Really confident for some reason.
I once grumbled to Orga.
That nobody thinks letting him lead us is the sure way to go.
But it was partly a lie.
I can't help thinking that it'll all work out if we just follow him.
Yeah, I feel you.
Let's go then.
Yeah.
I see.
So you choose to escape from here.
The Tekkadan I know of would've fought back without a second thought.
We're smarter than taking on a losing battle.
We have a different battle to fight.
A different battle, huh?
What is it that you seek from that battle?
All I want now is for all of us to just survive this.
We have to resort to whatever we find at any given moment.
From there on, we'll all figure it out together.
That's how we always managed.
But somehow along the way, I've lost sight of our own style.
What a futile realization.
Say whatever you want.
Besides, it's not futile.
Not if you're with your buddies.
Buddies...
Orga, we found the tunnel!
Really?
Yeah, but it's pretty beat up.
We can't use explosives in here. We'd have to dig through this by hand.
Gather everyone up and start digging.
Got it. And one more thing.
Some of the cables still work.
If the terminal on the Chryse side works, we could contact the outside world.
I see. Got it.
Anyways, clear the tunnel ASAP.
Roger that.
If we can't escape quickly,
I wish we could only contact old Makanai for now.
- You want to contact Earth? - Yeah.
If we could make it to Chryse, there's Admoss Company too.
We can find a way.
But we're completely surrounded.
If it's just a few of you, you may be able to penetrate enemy lines.
I am going to penetrate Gjallarhorn's encirclement on my own.
What?
Their eyes will obviously be focused on me.
It will be possible for you to escape while they're distracted.
You'd do that for us?
Don't get me wrong.
I am just taking necessary measures for my objective.
It has nothing to do with me whether you use that or not.
But...!
Your strategy is favorable for me, too.
By making it look like you remain, we can lure in Rustal Elion closer.
I am going to use you to destroy Rustal.
Chad? Tell Ride to get a car ready.
We're going to head to Admoss Company.
What? How?
We have a way to get past them.
We're taking Kudelia and Atra, too.
Go get them now.
There's no time. Hurry!
I'm not going.
Miss Atra...
This place will become a battlefield.
It's safer for you to leave here with Miss Kudelia.
But I don't want to leave Mikazuki and everyone else behind.
There isn't time, Atra.
Yeah, but...
Miss Atra.
Let's go. Together.
I promised Mikazuki that I'd protect you and your baby.
Baby...?
Please, Miss Atra.
Let me keep my promise with Mikazuki.
The promise with the man I love.
Okay...
Okay, get ready then.
What about you, Ms. Merribit?
I still have work to do here.
But...
Don't worry. I'm sure we'll be able to meet again.
The iron flower won't wither that easily.
Barbatos Lupus Rex.
The king of wolves, huh?
A valiant name.
Why are you dressed like that?
Going somewhere?
Yes.
Mikazuki Augus.
Won't you join me?
Why?
You're right.
I know.
I thought the way you fought was beautiful.
My ideal form of power. The power that can obtain a bright future.
You don't know how to use that power.
I thought I could lead that power toward our common goal.
But I was wrong.
Your brightness has no ideals, no objective, no destination.
- It's so fleeting, and... - You talk too much.
We will get there.
Where to?
Hey, don't be poaching our members.
Forgive me.
I shall be going now.
