Leaving orbital point Score 9. Commencing planet-fall.

Shuttle 306, adjust entry angle minus 2 plus Alpha 0.3, final.

306, roger.

Speed break port, open! Altitude 663 and falling.

Mars base to 306. Comet approaching.

Mark 600, equatorial. Small and very fast.

Transmit data to your drive computer.

Comet? Where?!

There! Incoming!

What happened? Did it hit you?

What's wrong?! Shuttle 306, your entry angle's too steep!

Correct entry! Repeat, Shuttle 306, correct entry!

Hey! What's wrong? Snap out of it!

What the hell happened?!

Almost got it...

Oh yeah... Today's Monday.

Yo, Tomoru! Where've you been?

You can't keep skipping out of our Cosmology II seminar.

We've got a report due in 6 months...

Tomoru, it's me.

You'll be graduating from Sekandar in 6 months, right?

Come to the moon. Help me in my work.

Vrighton Ltd. Has grown to control 70% of...

...all off-world grain transfer in just ten years, so...

And here's the top news this morning on channel 32.

First off, some disturbing words yesterday from Kumi Jefferson...

...famous for her predictions of airline disasters.

Destruction!

The destruction is beginning!

Dark destruction will rain down upon us all.

It approaches as I speak. When the sun, Earth, and moon...

...align this Tuesday afternoon, it will descend from the heavens!

Pretty scary stuff! What can be in store for us?

City No. 5... A metropolis floating on the equator.

It's not a paradise, my city.

But quiet as it is, I don't mind it.

Right on time. Wonder how far she rides?

Hairstyle's out of date... Maybe intentionally?

And those over-sized glasses... They cover up a nice face!

A drink, sir?

Will that be all?

As you wish.

Yo!

Sorry I'm so late!

You're up pretty early. What's the deal?

Nothing... Nothing, really.

Welcome to Maharoba. Please place your order.

So Tomoru, have you decided?

No, not yet.

Not yet?!

Christ...

We've only got one season left.

Just one season!

Hang in there; you have to get those UNF tickets.

If we get those, we've got a free pass...

...to any company, government or private sector.

I don't care if I graduate. I don't even want the ticket.

What did you say?!

What're you talking about, Tomoru?!

If I get the ticket, get UNF certified and join a company...

Get 3 years of business training, 2 years of executive training...

And then what?

What do you mean "what"? What's wrong with that?

You want more than that?!

Do you know how many people want those tickets and never get them?

Yeah... Your brother!

The one in charge of food shipping up on Vrighton Ltd. -Luna.

Hey, now there's a job!

I bet you'd stop worrying about the future if you were there!

Say, I don't suppose you'd introduce me to him? I mean...

Oh! I forgot! Here.

How was it?

That girl in the sim was really something.

You think they modeled her from a real woman?

No... I mean besides that!

I did pretty well.

Rescued the girl, and got a special "thank you" from her...

What?! You did "pretty well"?!

You son of a! How far did you get?!

Cut it out! I can't breathe!

Didn't you beat it, yet?

That program's fine.

Except for one thing... Those weird clothes!

What's the deal with them?

The high boots, the thigh-length pants.

Yeah! Like that 20th century jacket you're wearing, too!

You've got some really old-fashioned tastes.

Better fix that before you join any companies!

Hey!

Hey! Where're you going?

It's a Luftwaffe uniform.

A 20th century soldier costume. You just wouldn't understand...

What? "Luft parfait"? Hey! Tomoru, wait up!

We have 16 varieties of parfait to choose from, sir.

Tomoru! Aren't you going to the seminar? Hey!

"Come to the moon", huh...

Director Foreston, there's more from Mars...

All right, tell me later.

Well, how's it going?

Follow me.

As you can see...

It's... taking shape.

Well, it's built. But still...

May I ask a simple question?

Just what IS this thing?

Perhaps you should ask it.

It hasn't bothered to introduce itself, even to me.

May I ask I-Zack the same question?

Be my guest.

I-Zack, please answer me. What is this thing?

I am at as much a loss as Professor Kanzaki.

Even if we complete it, its function remains unknown.

Function, huh?

What do you think?

It's an unusual situation.

First we receive that pulse signal from deep space...

...and that lets us build this thing.

No, not that. Her behavior. Don't you find it strange?

You think she knows more than she's telling us?

That thing's damned special. I know that much.

Well, let's leave this to Second Beginning's girl genius...

...and the super-computer.

At least until it's finished.

I agree with you.

We should avoid making hasty conclusions before it's completed.

That's not right! This... This THING is something horrible.

Whether we should complete it... is the real question.

You're here. Play it back!

What did you see?

Sh... Shadow! Huge... shadow... outside the shuttle...

We got this two hours ago from Mars.

A shuttle pilot ran into something up in Mars orbit.

The image is coming up now...

We don't have time! Do it!

What the devil?!

What the...?!

Tomoru!

Who are you?

Tomoru... Do not run from it.

Fight! Fight, Tomoru! TOMORU!

Calpica 3 to Stardust!

No good! Can't keep up with it. Just lost visual.

It's white, too small to be a comet.

It's on a direct course for lunar orbit! Repeat...

Well done. Even Lady Mhiku, who sees all...

...could not foresee how far you would come.

How... ever... Here you will die...

Earth... Tomoru...

Orgun... Impressive as always. But, here it ends!

Orgun, such a waste...

What?!

Impossible!

Shoot! Shoot him! SHOOT HI M!!!

Tomoru... Take it... Take my...

What was that?

L... I could've sworn I saw... the Earth...

Michi... Professor Kanzaki! Look at this!

What the...?! The final data?

Probably. I'm reading a vast number of pulse signals.

And they're originating at very close range.

Close range?

Approximately 400,000 kilometers from here.

400,000 kilometers... Out in lunar orbit?

- Lord Zoa. - The deserter, Orgun...

He was reportedly destroyed on the moon of the third planet.

A meaningless death... How fitting for a traitor.

Lady Mhiku!

Orgun?! He still lives?!

By your command...

Dispatch Eyd to the third planet in the system!

Orgun...

The EDF first detected that pulse signal one year ago.

It was picked up outside of Pluto's orbit by...

...the EVA-20 probe while headed for the Maxweir supernova.

A pulse signal coming from Cygnus towards our solar system.

The probe began relaying it back to Earth.

And now, a year later...

...after 368 days and 16 hours of transmission...

...the signal terminated as of 04:22 this morning.

Terminated?

To discover the source of this mysterious signal...

...we here at EDF Intelligence eight months ago...

...formed a special team to investigate it. Look here.

What the...!!!

It's almost finished!

All the transmitted data was given to...

...the I-ZACK supercomputer and Prof. Kanzaki to analyze.

And, after plotting the coordinates in space...

...it began to take shape.

The results of I-ZACK's 3267 hour link-up with...

...the Wirbel Wind production system is what you see here.

May I ask a simple question?

Just what IS it?

We'll be finding out very soon.

I'm reading a meteor, Earth sector 332-6.

Small, entering atmosphere.

Estimate vaporization at altitude 220.

Radar site Alpha-2 confirms. Altitude 230 and still falling.

Strange... Incoming! Tracking it on the over-the-horizon radar.

Coming in, altitude 198... 190... 181...

It just changed course! It's not a meteor!

Alert level Two!

Condition Orange! Repeat, Condition Orange!

Condition Orange! Condition Orange!

Scramble personnel, launch immediately!

Investigate falling object approaching Area 32...

...altitude 170!

Commander! Commander! We're scrambling!

Condition Orange! Commander!

That's strange... Where?

No... No, not in here...

Where's the object?

Area 29. Altitude 120 and in free-fall.

Dammit! It'll touch down... No, SPLASH down...

...before we can get to it.

Mr. Forreston! This is Pacific Base 7.

We're searching for the object over the Pacific Ocean!

We've scrambled a Bird-Man squadron...

...and should have confirmation soon!

We've determined the object's impact point.

It's headed for City No. 5!

Commander! 11 o'clock, mark 4!

Got it!

It's a meteorite, just headed for the drink!

You dumbshit! Look at your speed recorder!

What kinda meteor slows down?! We've got a live one here!

We're going in! Code Violet... DIVE!

Roger!

Attention residents of City No. 5.

This is the City Information Office.

A meteorite has struck near desalinization plant #2.

The extreme heat generated from the impact...

...is vaporizing sea water in that area.

There seems to be no danger to us at this time...

...but please be alert for any further updates from us.

What's up?!

That's!

- What's going on?! - Look at this!

Looks like the meteor struck. But...

What is it?!

It's attacking!

Damn, that thing's powerful!

It's headed for the city!

Director! We've got visuals from the Bird-Man squadron!

What's?

Intelligence, do you see this? We're in trouble!

This thing's definitely a bandit!

Enemy...

We're clear to engage!

Take Formation A and launch your Think Guides at it!

Lock onto its flight-path... Keep it out of the city!

Dammit! I can't keep up with it!

SHIT! Now I've done it!

Emergency! Emergency! Proceed to shelters 3 and 4!

All residents must proceed to shelters 3 and 4! Repeat...

What the hell's going on?!

It's approaching. Object type: Unknown.

It's using some sort of sensing device.

It seems to be... searching for something!

Searching?

We've got visuals on the monitor upstairs! This is major!

There it is!

Eat this, you friggin!

Did we get it?

Tagged it, but it's still kicking.

What the? It's in an underground airduct, headed north.

I think it's headed for the EDF building!

What is this?! Something's awakened it?!

Due to the danger, central areas five thru seven have been closed.

What's going on?

Prof. Kanzaki! Emergency! Get to the underground plant!

What's wrong?!

What happened?!

It... It just started moving!

But it couldn't! Weren't the power cells?

It charged itself using some method unknown to us.

And then it left!

I don't believe it... Inform the alert team!

Where're you going? Go back!

Leggo! I just want to see something!

The city center's been closed off!

On who's orders?

Hey, what's with you? Hey buddy, snap out of it!

Tomoru... Tomoru...

Who?! Who are you?!

So who exactly are we fighting, Sarge?

No one's told me anything.

They're the enemy, that's who. We can ask who they are later!

Close formation! I want a clean deployment!

FIRE!

Did we kill it?

We did something to it.

Next time it shows its face, it's dead!

God dammit! Over there!

What the hell?!

Impossible!

What a monster!

Hold on! Prof. Kanzaki!

We've been ordered to evacuate the city!

Well? Can you track it?

Can't tell. Every joint on it makes a particular sound.

It'll be difficult to detect beyond a 200 meter radius.

- Kanzaki here. - This is control.

We have reports of...

...a suit of armor walking around in office district 16.

I see!

What's going on? After-effects from the PASFU, maybe?

The invader is currently moving west...

...from City No. 5's central park area.

That's...

We now have some visuals from the Information Office.

That looks like... The thing from my dream!

The invader is headed for the EDF Intelligence building in Area One!

Area One!

What's going on? That thing...

It's the one from my dream.

It must be!

Are you all right?!

Jesus... A 1962 Jaguar-E!

It's a replica. You sure you're all right?

What's wrong?

Forget it.

Just keep it out!

Do everything you can to stop it!

Did we kill it?

Wha...?!

Who are you? What do you want?

Orgun... What is that?!

I'm telling you, it's the same monster I saw in my dream!

What can it all mean?

Prof. Kanzaki! The invader has destroyed the underground plant!

Its goal is still unknown!

The plant?!

Uh, can I ask you something? You're EDF, right?

What's your name? I'm Tomoru... Tomoru Shindo.

- I'm going to the EDF building. - Can't let you.

All of Area One's been closed off.

And that goes for EDF personnel!

Over there!

We can get a look at the building from that roof there!

Damn! Can't go this way! Come on!

Almost there!

I don't get it... This is all EXACTLY like the dream!

Jesus...

What's going on?

The city's burning up.

Why are they doing this?!

This way!

Shit!

You lousy... I won't let you win!

It's good and blocked. If I don't do something...

What?!

Dammit!

Helpless... Why do I have to be so weak?

I want strength. If only to save her...

I want strength!

Tomoru... I have waited for this moment.

Fight? For what? For who?

You've been searching? For who? Me?!

What... What's that?

Orgun... That's your name. No, MY name!

Shit!

What's it doing here?

Prof. Kanzaki! Get in!

I understand... I understand.

I understand everything now!

What's going on? I thought there was only one of them!

Get in!

Wait, please! There's a civilian, too!

We don't have time for any civilians!

Prof. Kanzaki, what did you do to that thing?!

I didn't do anything!

Believe me, I don't understand any of this!

The city... The museum...

There! There it is!

It's still moving! But the power cells can't last this long...

This feeling... It can't be! Him?!

No use... I'm losing strength...

I can't lose...

I WON'T LOSE!!!

What?!

This is no place for you!

GET OUT OF HERE!!!

You...

His name's Orgun.

He's traveled 260 million years to get here.

For what?

Something on Earth led him here.

Who are the invaders?

They're called the Evolyuder.

A very powerful... enemy!

What?! Enemy?!

I understood it before.

It's like waking up from a dream. I only remember bits and pieces.

I just remember a strong image...

A horrible... powerful... SOMETHING.

Orgun...

What is it you seek on that world?

The destruction will not end here.

Soon, a new destruction will come...

From the skies!

Far away as you are, I send this song off to you.

Echoing on the distant shores, my heart goes out to you.

Just as the sun must sink into the sea...

...and bloom again tomorrow in the waves.

Like a flower on the water, I can see your face again.

Trembling, fading off, far away.

Like a chart through the mist, I hear the insects' song...

...like the world ending, I leave my dream behind.

And walk towards you, towards that day again.

Stars on the waves meet the sky...

...and like a miracle, the sun slips below.

Covering all around in night, letting sleep put all to right.

In my mind I still can feel the touch of your skin.

Even now, far away as I am.

In my mind I still can feel the touch of your skin.

Even now, far away as I am.
