Longitude North 51'45, Latitude West 105'25, Northwestern North America

3567 AD, October 6th

The sky's all distorted. The Olynssis isn't stopping till morning.

On nights like this, somebody's being thrown somewhere in time.

Maybe they'll be thrown here.

The lady's scared.

Lady?

Where?

Ouch!

So how is it, Tokito?

I can't find a hatch anywhere.

But it should move how I want it to.

Silber, answer me...

It's no good.

Even Tokito can't do it.

Maybe it needs that girl to move?

That's right.

Let's wait for her to wake up.

If that means this'll be Tokito's machine then that'd be great!

Come on. If it's not going to move anyway we can do that later.

Tokito, you said you'd look at my Crawler!

Come on!

I know!

You punched something too hard again didn't you?

She's not here either.

What's wrong, Eileen?

That girl Tia vanished!

Tia!

She hasn't come back!

I'm sorry, I took my eyes off her.

It's warm. She was here until just a moment ago.

Tia...

Tokito...

Pitch-Black Visitor

Tia, it's me!

Are you here?

She's not here apparently.

You don't need to check the showers!

Tia!

She's not here.

Your intuition is useless, huh?

Well, if she woke up, wouldn't she be hungry first?

Tia! Tokito—I mean Koichi—is looking for you!

Tia.

You were looking at the moon?

Why are you crying?

I don't know.

But it feels nostalgic.

I see...

Maybe you came from the moon?

To us, that's the Gardeners's base, though.

The Gardeners come from the moon?

That's right. From a long time ago,

there's been somebody called the "Consul" who lives on the moon,

and he's trying to eradicate humanity.

The Consul...

I wonder what he's like?

Tia, do you remember anything?

Koichi!

Tia...

Oh my. Girls these days sure are forward.

My, my, my. Not bad, Koichi!

Everyone!

What are you doing?

Everybody's been looking for you.

Hey, hey!

Don't just wander around dressed like that!

Misuzu, help her change.

Why me?

Nobody else is around to.

Would you rather Tokito did it?

I'll do it.

Okay!

So guys, get out of here.

We don't need you!

Just a little more!

But why "Koichi", I wonder?

Koichi... It couldn't be.

Hey, that girl was hurt, wasn't she?

Her right shoulder and left knee.

Yeah.

I took a look before she vanished in the medical room,

but it was all healed.

No scars or anything, it was all clear.

Is she a normal-

What's wrong?

Nothing at all!

That really hurt.

She just knocked me over like that.

I told you!

She beat up four guys.

Right in front of me.

Normally you wouldn't believe that unless you saw it yourself.

Well, that's true.

Okay, all done.

Thanks.

Hey, is this manipulator a new type?

I don't know. I don't know how long it's been

since the Gardener it came from was made.

But it's better than it was.

It seems the Gardener's Al takes better care of its parts than Misuzu.

One sentence too many.

Violent girl.

Two sentences too many!

Hey.

What?

Why does that Tia girl call you "Koichi?"

It's strange, isn't it?

I don't know...

Maybe he was her boyfriend.

If she's mistaking me for somebody else, then that would hurt a bit.

'Cause that "Silber" machine is amazing!

Crawlers are just junk from Gardeners put together.

But Silber is different.

I can't really say why, but it's a totally different machine.

That's right.

It was amazing in that fight back there.

You're pretty good, Tokito.

It's not my power.

I wonder if Silber was sent through time...

from the era in the distant past where humanity went to space.

I get that feeling.

I think that's just a fairy tale.

That's not true.

Once Tia remembers we'll know for sure.

Then we'll know about that "Koichi" person.

Yeah.

I'm sure that they're left behind in her original time.

But why does that bother you?

'Cause Silber is really his.

It bothers me when I think that I haven't actually gained

this awesome machine, I'm just using it without asking.

Then you should make a better machine.

Oh?

One even more amazing than Silber.

Then I'll pilot it with you.

That's a good idea!

But that's gonna be hard.

Tokito, are you there?

Oh, Misuzu's there too.

I was keeping him company during his maintenance.

He just finished.

Good timing.

A group of Gardeners is approaching from the east.

How many of them are there?

I don't know yet, but it might be pretty bad.

There are a lot of them?

I don't think there's as many as there were last time,

but they're coming from the direction of Salt Town.

Eileen's saying that she lost contact with the town.

Was it destroyed?

I don't know.

But we need Misuzu to hurry and go out in her Crawler.

And Tokito...

Yeah, I know.

Koichi?

Tia, are you okay now?

Yeah. I've decided that I'll help you, Koichi.

Let's go.

Wait!

That's Koichi's right?

Then it's not mine.

I'm Tokito!

I'm not Koichi.

Silber isn't my power.

Koichi, don't you want to be my Koichi?

I don't care if you don't think you're Koichi.

But...

To me, you're the only Koichi.

So I - Silber - will be your power.

I don't know why you think that.

But I'm not Koichi.

If you'll give it to me, then I want Silber.

Silber—belong to you, Koichi.

Impressive as usual.

It makes you feel sad that you're in a Crawler, huh?

I hope some babe comes down from the sky to me and gives me a powerful machine.

They don't come to people with evil desires in their heart.

These are the only things that come down to me!

Tia, can you shield them all?

Yes, leave it to me!

Tia!

I'm fine.

Earlier too...

Is the damage that Silber takes being fed back to you?

Don't worry about it.

If you want, I'll be a shield.

No, that's not...

That's not what I want you to do!

What's going on?

Did something go wrong?

Fight, Koichi!

I can't!

If I do, you'll...

What's he doing?

He can't counter-attack like that.

Yousuke!

I'll rush in. Once the enemy is off guard, the three of you pull Silber back!

That's impossible.

Even if it is...

People who do something even though they know it's impossible are fools.

Who's there?

I'll save Silber.

You guys back me up.

Hey, who are you?

A mysterious babe.

What?

Go, Schwartz!

Koichi, please!

I can't!

I don't want to see you get hurt!

Don't be an idiot, Tokito Aizawa!

Who's there?

That girl —Tia isn't afraid of being hurt!

Why should you be scared then?

But...

"I don't care if I get hurt."

Are you going to ignore that feeling of hers?

Answer her!

If you know what it feels like to suffer!

Don't tell me that!

I...

Who is she?

A mysterious babe, right?

Tokito...

Just like she said!

Umm, thanks for saving us...

What are you doing?

You're going to be involved in far more difficult battles from now on.

If you just try and cover for Tia, you'll both die.

I...

You have something of mine, don't you?

Thanks.

It's the same as mine.

Yes, it's the same as yours.

It's got the memories of somebody important to us inside it.

Now then,

let me get to the point.

You were heading toward Salt Town, weren't you?

Yes.

But...

Was that Salt Town?

It was attacked by that many Gardeners,

and Silber wasn't around to save it.

What do you want to say?

Want to go south?

Everything is waiting for you there.

What do you think? About that mysterious babe's plan?

I think "babe" is a bit much.

Do you call yourself that, normally?

That's not what we're talking about.

Basically we're deciding whether to go south or not?

I'm for it.

That was fast.

There are a lot of towns to the south that haven't been destroyed by the Gardeners.

And our junk parts that we've collected will sell for a lot.

And we'll find a lot of machines like that black Schwartz and Silber.

And it's a babe that's asking us.

Why would I oppose it?

It's a nice offer, like Jin says, but I think it's a little too suspicious.

I don't know about that "Schwartz" but it's impossible

that we'd find another Olynssis machine that simply.

It's suspicious.

I think we should all decide.

Who agrees with going to the south?

Then who's opposed?

Three vs. three, huh?

No.

Tia hasn't decided.

That's right.

We need to hear what she thinks.

That's right.

Sorry, Tia.

What do you think?

I-I'm with Koichi.

Yo, we all decided where we're going.

Yup.

I knew you'd agree to go south.

You're talking like you know all about us.

I do.

What would you do if I said that?

Oh my, girl...

Umm...

Have you...

Fallen for me?

That's what you want to know, right?

You really do know everything, huh?

Then what's the thing I want to ask you more than anything right now?

Selena.

Selena...

Don't forget my name, Jin.

That was the second thing I wanted to ask you, though.

A short peace visits the group in a ghost town.

Tia invites Tokito to a movie.

And in the shadows Selena fights a desperate

battle against a group of Gardeners.
