Escaflowne the Movie: A Girl in Gaea (エスカフローネ)

Dropping in altitude, sir.

How's the engine?

Normal, sir.

Is the load too heavy?

No, sir.

It should be fine.

Does he think that the armor is going to rise from the dead?

Who the hell are you?

Can't stabilize the altitude.

We're going around the mountain and flying over Sasu.

General?

We have no choice.

That armor is absolutely essential to our clan.

We must deliver it to Commander Folken.

Stay calm!

It's just one enemy!

Kill him!

What's the problem?

There's only one man!

How can that be?!

He's alone!

So, you are the Dragon we've heard so much about.

I will slay all my enemies!

Dragon Armor...

Awaken from your long slumber!

Your name is Escaflowne!

You are my armor!

Who are you?

Dozing off again?

Cutting classes and dozing off again, Hitomi-san?

I was dreaming.

Dreaming?

Of my childhood...

The one you told me about a long time ago?

About the man you saw at Tokyo Station?

A man in strange clothes...

Daydreaming?

Why am I dreaming that now?

Because you're frustrated?

What?!

Go out and find a boyfriend.

You're having that dream because you have nothing to do.

Why don't you drop in on our club?

I can't.

Why not?

Because I dropped out of the track team...

I'd feel awkward.

The juniors miss you.

It's too exhausting.

Besides, my leg hurts.

You're pathetic.

Yes, I am.

What's that?

What?

What's this? It's addressed to me.

Wait! No!

Why are you so upset?

Give it back!

Because I have to rewrite it!

But it's addressed to me.

Give it back!

Yukari!

Let's see.

"To Uchida Yukari-sama...

I am going to die. Farewell, Yukari.

Kanzaki Hitomi"

What is this?

Zero talent in writing.

No vocabulary.

Leave me alone.

Don't die with those pathetic last words.

I'd be embarrassed as your friend.

Don't worry.

I'm too much of a coward.

If you're going to die, let me know first, all right?

I'll even join you.

You don't have to.

I'll go on living and become an old granny...

And continue to live until it's my time to go...

You're coming with me tomorrow, right?

Remember your promise?

Yeah, you're right.

Give me a wake-up call.

You're always napping during class lately.

Why can't you get up in the morning?

Are you going out late at night?

No, it's not like that.

It's just...

I always feel sleepy.

I feel sleepy all the time.

Maybe something's wrong with me?

I wonder why.

Maybe I'm too exhausted.

Everyone looks so well.

But I'm not.

That's why I sleep.

In sleep, I can fade away...

And no one will notice...

But nothing changes.

Even if I was to fade away...

Nothing changes.

There's been an accident at Yoyogi station.

We apologize for the inconvenience...

...but we will be held here momentarily.

We apologize for the inconvenience...

How terrible.

There's been an accident.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Hey! Cut it out!

Come on!

What's the matter?

Someone's calling me.

Hitomi...

You've been acting so strange these days...

Dropping out of the track team and everything...

I am the manager of the team, you know.

I have to explain all this to the coach.

Don't worry about me.

Hitomi...

How annoying...

Just leave me alone.

Forget about me.

I see...

How annoying...

I have to stop off somewhere...

So, I'll see you tomorrow.

Just fade away...

Annoying girl...

Just fade away...

Annoying girl who hurts her friend...

Just fade away...

Someone, please...

Yes.

Let everything fade away.

Let this sad world...

Let everything fade away.

Come, my kindred spirit.

From the world beyond...

Come join me.

The Chosen One...

Who? Me?

You are the Wing Goddess.

You will fulfill our world's prophecy.

To our world, Gaea...

I bid you welcome, Wing Goddess.

The Earth?

Is this a dream?

Or a vision?

No, this must be real. My wish has come true.

The Mystic Moon...

How beautiful you are.

No wonder it's called a cursed armor.

It only invites misfortune.

So, all the participants have arrived.

The Dragon Armor is coming alive!

Millerna!

It's the flying ship!

Is it the Black Dragon Clan?

It's coming straight at us!

Just as I predicted, right?

You better pay me well for this.

Sure.

I can hardly wait...

Boss...

Can we really shoot it down?

Don't worry about Van.

Maybe you're overestimating him?

Lord Van, Lord Van, Lord Van, Lord Van...

Lord Van!

Shoot it down!

Reeden!

Shoot it!

It's alive.

What happened?

Why have we stopped?

Oh, no.

What's going on?

Someone help me!

Who are you?

You're the...

Are you the Wing Goddess?

You are the Wing Goddess.

The Wing?

What are you talking about?

I am a descendant of the Dragon Clan.

My name is Van.

I beseech you, as the Wing Goddess...

...to allow me the honor of serving you in this world Gaea.

Me?

Armed with this Escaflowne, I will wipe out...

...all those who oppose your will.

All...

Just fade away...

I don't understand.

Where am I?

This place...

Escaflowne?

What's wrong?!

What's happening?!

It's gone!
