Leviathan (リヴァイアサン)

- The effects of Goliath, I assume. -

Those German hyenas.

First, they stole my lightning cannon, and now they've come to take my Goliath.

- -

- Huh? - Hm?

- -

The German U-boat!

Blisters, it's barkin' huge!

But we're too close to New York!

If you blast them, you'll wipe out the city!

Don't you worry. That tin toy isn't Goliath's real target.

Huh? Then, what is?

-It can't be! - Uh!

- -

Why can't you understand, Volger?

The Germans will use Goliath to wage war.

London, Paris… millions of lives will be lost

-if we don't do something to stop it! -Not our concern!

The only country on Earth we need care about is Austria!

The only blood that must not be spilled is that of the Habsburg line!

Obviously, there will be sacrifices required.

You must not be soft!

Only strength will let you become

the rightful king that the people can respect!

And don't even start with all that childish Darwinist prattle

about friendship!

Wrong!

-You're so wrong. -What?!

Your idea of royals are leaders so out of touch

that they have no idea how ordinary people live

or what they deal with in their daily lives!

A country ruled by people like that has no future!

To lead the people, we have to know them!

Other nations too!

We have to end the divide between Clankers and Darwinists!

-Once and for all! -Aargh! Nonsense!

Your bloodline! The Habsburgs must take...

Bloodlines have nothing to do with it at all!

What's that?!

It's outdated ideas like yours that got my parents killed in the first place!

How dare you suggest it was my fault!

For my country, for my king, I gave up everything!

To protect and serve the Habsburg name!

My whole life's been dedicated to you!

Uh… Volger?

It's not that I'm not… grateful.

-It's just that I... -Please go now.

- Huh? -I realize you're right.

In the world you're soon to live in… you've no need of someone like me.

- -Huh?

All hands, this is the captain.

Prepare for landing and ground assault.

No guards around.

Yes.

Leviathan! Come in, Leviathan!

Hm? Why's the compass…

-Hm, that's strange. -

Huh?

Prepare to launch Walkers for assault!

Advance, surround, and capture the Goliath!

No!

German soldiers, stop. Disregard those orders and listen to me.

This is Nikola Tesla.

Inventor of the Goliath, the machine you have come to capture.

Do not attack.

Stand down and stay aboard your ship.

Huh? What?

This is the only warning you will receive.

Goliath has already begun to build up a charge.

If you do not cease hostilities at once,

I will be forced to unleash its full power on the target!

And men, the target is the capital of your homeland!

The city of Berlin!

- Are you barkin' mad, old man? - Sharp?

Destroy Berlin? Are you serious?

-Look out, Sharp! -Wha...

Consider yourselves lucky.

You've got front-row seats.

So just sit back and enjoy witnessing history in the making.

You can't do this!

Members of the press, the demonstration has begun!

Goliath is so powerful,

the German army has sent an attack submarine here to capture it!

Have a look!

Huh?

- Look at the size of it. - There's no need for alarm.

As you can see, the Germans have stopped in their tracks.

They called off their attack when I issued my warning.

Goliath is working exactly as I had designed.

Just look! They stopped the attack!

The aggressor has backed down!

That is the power of Goliath, my masterpiece!

The greatest invention of the century!

I will finally put an end to senseless wars and bring lasting peace!

Can he really hit Berlin from here?

- My family's there. - He's a madman. He might do it.

We can't take the chance.

"We're retreating. Halt charging your weapon."

Ladies and gentlemen, the Germans are retreating.

Success!

I see you have chosen peace. The wise and moral thing to do.

I am now powering down Goliath.

Please return home to your country and to your families! Farewell!

What a historic day!

A meaningless conflict has been peacefully averted!

Members of the press, please faithfully report what you have witnessed here!

Spread the news across the globe!

From now on, any country or entity that insists on war,

will suffer the wrath of Goliath!

And so it's...

Good heavens!

Huh?

Sharp!

The weapon's neutralized! All Walkers, move out, move out!

-Surround the tower! -

Those Idiots!

Those absolute fools!

I gave them one last chance, and they threw it away!

- Uh… huh? - Huh?

Restarting Goliath charging process.

What? I thought it was destroyed.

I never said Goliath was in the main tower.

First, everywhere they happened, magnetic field disturbances were detected.

Goliath… still works!

Walkers, attack! Surround the tower!

No, don't go out there! Goliath is still functional!

- Huh? Who the hell is that? - I dunno.

Goliath is charging up again!

You three! Get that boy, arrest him, and throw him in the brig!

You heard Tesla's threat!

Tell the captain to call off the attack, or he's gonna wipe out all of Berlin!

I'll have to destroy Goliath myself!

-Uh! -Aaargh!

Tesla, this makes no sense!

Even if you level all of Berlin,

those Germans out there won't know it, and they'll still come and get you!

You're killing people for...

They may be able to get in here eventually.

But before they do, they'll have learned of their homeland's tragedy

and that the war, as a result, will have ended!

Walkers, your orders are to take Nikola Tesla alive!

His weapon is destroyed,

and we'll need him as a prisoner to recreate it for our use!

I didn't want this.

I never wanted to actually use Goliath… against anyone!

All right. Then, why?

To send a message!

If something truly terrifying doesn't happen to them,

they'll just continue on with their warlike ways forever!

Costing us lost human lives by the millions!

Thus, this is the only solution!

I'm the only one who can do it!

And if I don't, humanity is doomed!

For the future of our human race!

Time remaining to Goliath full charge, eight minutes.

-Bumrag! Now what? - Oh.

- -

-Volger! -Time to go, Your Highness.

-Hurry! -But wait!

Follow your instincts, Alek.

Follow your heart.

Go, Alek!

- He's calculating. -Uh?

He's analyzing the energy patterns.

Uh?!

Oh!

One through 12 on the panel.

And there are 12 of those smaller towers.

Do you think one of those…

Yes! That's it!

One of the 12 is Goliath's real main tower.

Oh!

Quiet, fella!

Look, everyone!

The Germans have gone back on their word!

They're resuming their attack on the Goliath!

-Now you see the folly… - Number four!

Huh? Is that the one?

Now we have to get around his force field.

- - Uh-huh… Huh.

Um…

Oy, look at that thing!

If I can get you there, you gotta push that button.

Sadly, the loris can't follow commands like that.

Okay! Go, Bovril!
