I don't know. I don't know what to say.

I don't know what to

say.

Thank you.

Yeah, nice shot!

Now move them back! As far as you can push them!

Roger!

Did we go all around?

Better watch out, you crap -scrap!

Cause I'm about to blow a giant hole in all your asses.

Marcel!

What'd you do?

We're gonna hit it!

Somehow we made it.

Sorry,

Eugene. Are you okay?

Yeah, I think so.

Hey, moron!

You trying to get yourself killed?

Get your asses out of there, and I mean now!

So, Cadet Marcel, mind telling me what you were doing?

I wanted to get behind the enemy.

So you decided to go over the hill?

Exposing your feldrass's belly to enemy fire?

You earned a zero grade for this, mister.

Get out of my sight and go back to basic.

Sir! Now for you, Cadet Nosen.

Jumping into Vondegonda without training? Are you friggin' crazy or

You wanna destroy it?

I saw a collision coming, so I thought that was how to stop it.

It's better to lose the legs on one than losing both of the legs permanently.

Does that make sense?

Shit, no.

Well, that's true.

I'll give you some credit for avoiding a collision, at least.

But you still engaged in dangerous, reckless piloting. So you get a zero,

Got it?

Sir.

No, then.

I hope you don't expect me to thank you.

No, not at all. For one thing, you didn't need to go and dodge. I said it's

fine. You don't have to.

Eugene, let's get going.

Come with me.

Ah, the carefree joys of youth.

Is that how it looks to you?

Aw, you're such a cold fish.

What is it?

I want you to come with me again. I got permission.

Eugene, you gotta put distance between you and Nozen.

Why? You know about the new Feldris, right?

That those 86 have been working on for all this time with R &D, of course.

They're insane.

They're also based on the Republic's airframe designs, which, by the way,

take into account pilot safety at all.

In fact, people say that a dozen of its test pilots have already been killed in

trials. But the truth is, none of them even got a scratch.

That's just a rumor.

Yeah, I know.

But I get a bad feeling from that guy.

Almost like... Like what?

Like he's the Reaper.

Hey, guys.

Ready for a little trip?

Does anyone know how far we're going?

Only training?

No idea.

But there is something on those trucks, right? Oh, with the tarps over there.

When you last came through this field, it was still under Legion control.

But over the last six months, we've finally taken this place from them.

We extended the battle lines and were surprised and pleased to find these

stranded Republic Feldriths.

There was a stone tablet among them, bearing many names.

In the Federacy, when someone dies in battle, their name is engraved on a

memorial in the National Cemetery.

We decided that the names of your fallen comrades, all 575 of them, should be

recorded on it here.

So that's what we did.

You can stop looking worried. After we recorded the names, we returned the

to its original spot.

What do you think?

Thank you for all of your concern.

But you've graduated the Special Officer School.

which means you're officially a member of the Giad Federacy's military now.

And before much longer, you'll be sent into battle.

You'll all be together as part of the Nordlich Squadron, which happens to be

under my command.

I am the commander of the 1028th Test Unit, Lieutenant Colonel Greta Vensel.

Glad to be working with you all.

Thank you. Pleasure's ours.

Hey, you didn't need to throw me off. I'm not a bale of hay, you know.

Frederica. Oh,

what the hell is that?

No, don't eat it.

It's a prize for you.

A surprise?

What on earth do you think it is? A scavenger?

Republic tech?

But why?

Fido. What are you saying, Shen?

Hey, man, you name all your pets the same thing? That's kind of weird.

No, no. No, she's right. This is Fido.

The same one who was with you back then.

Huh?

When we found it, we did some thorough recon and discovered its core unit was

fully intact and functional.

Grita rebuilt it herself.

We've replaced the mechanical parts, but this is the real, original Fido.

It may still look the same, but it's several times stronger than before.

Yeah, right. No way. He was also positive he was dead, and at first, he

refused to even activate.

But when I mentioned Shinae's name, he turned himself on almost instantly.

Only you are the proof that we made it here alive.

Perform your mission until you rust away.

Well then, you're really still alive?

Then you didn't listen to what I told you to do.

Let's go home together again.

Saw that coming.

You don't seem concerned. Can you be more careful?

You're damn right.

It'd take way more than that to break Fido.

I was talking about singing. Of course.

He'll be fine.

And that's all about how Fido moves. Really.

Wow. So he does know how to smile.

Okay, now why are you here, Frederica?

Obviously because I'm your mascot, you could say.

Our mascot?

Oh, you didn't know? They have young girls like me join a unit and eat,

travel, and spend quality time with them.

The unit basically becomes a found family and becomes willing to risk their

lives for their beloved daughter or sister. It's a time -honored Gia

That's truly sickening.

Wait, so you mean... Yep. As of now, I'll be joining the 1028th test unit.

Which means I'm your goddess of victory, and I'm going to make damn sure we win.

Want to tell me why you're laughing?

By the way, Sine, I have another surprise just for you.

Ernst has been holding on to it.

I know it's important to you.

It's nice to have you back.

Welcome back. Welcome back. Welcome back.

Glad to be here.

Enemy squadron incoming!

Forty -five seconds to contact!

I will not die today!

Where's our suppression fire?

I hate these freaking things. How many are there?

Move fast.

Even if you haul ass, they can still catch you. I'm honored to die for my

homeland and my comrades.

The new Reagan leaf.

Did you just see that?

The 86.

Nothing but monsters of the Republic.

Lieutenant, you used the high -frequency blade again, didn't you?

Yes. You take too many liberties. Stop abusing that thing.

You'll ruin the blade.

And we still don't have a spare one yet.

And while we're discussing this subject, you know, the reckless way you use

it... It's fine.

The Legion are getting ready to withdraw.

Huh?

Roger.

I knew you could do it, Shinae.

Good job.

You snuck in here again, really?

You can't get rid of me by begging the repair crew to help you, but nice try,

though. I instructed you not to follow us onto the battlefield.

You're just a mascot, you remember?

You don't get to say that to me. Just shut your mouth.

A commanding officer isn't supposed to go running alone into enemy territory.

Come on, everybody knows that.

It is a bad habit.

Bernholtz was complaining, you know.

Hey, are you listening, Sine?

If you don't take care of yourself, nobody will...

Yes, of course.

But you should really settle down.

After days of fighting, everyone is exhausted.

Yeah. Sorry.

Hey, by the way, what are Nordlig doing here?

We sent a request for help yesterday, did we not?

Why would a second lieutenant be running a whole battalion?

Supposedly, all his superiors died.

It's at squadron staffing level currently.

The question is, who killed them?

The headless skeleton, possessed by a reaper. Well, that's creepy.

Hey, where are you going, Eugene?

Sorry, you eat with the others.

Mind if I sit here?

Sure, have a seat.

Eugene? But, how'd you wind up here?

I've been here a month.

It's good to see you, Shin.

Yeah.

If you don't want to eat them, don't force yourself. You'll be sick.

But the kitchen staff works hard, and I wouldn't want to be rude to them.

Well

then,

you better try a little harder.

You saved us yesterday.

Huh?

Oh, I'm sorry. There were so many requests for help, I guess I didn't

You've been pretty busy lately.

Yeah, even busy enough for the squadron to be split up.

Oh, that's why it's just you both.

Oh, hey, I remember you!

You remember me?

Yeah, of course!

I heard you ended up in Sine's class at military school.

I betcha that must have been challenging.

You said it. He's really cold and he never talks.

And it's a total mystery what he's thinking.

Uh -huh.

Boy, do I know.

You talk to him, he doesn't even look up from his book or say one stinking word

back. If it's not something he's interested in, he simply tunes you out.

And he does some really crazy stuff, usually at the most unexpected time.

Yes, exactly. What is that all about?

I think we'll get along.

Let's be friends.

Done. It's a pleasure to meet you.

Now, how about a commemorative photo?

Yeah, great.

See you, Nate.

Is this part of the Victory Goddess' job?

Well, I've done what I can do.

Okay. I don't want to hold up a reunion between long -lost friends any longer,

so I'll be on my way now.

I see.

She's one of those mascots.

Yeah.

That costume is so outdated, though.

Even someone like her. If she's there, we have to protect her.

We're all strangers, so they must think that we need a hostage to make it look

more credible.

That's so awful. It's tragic.

That's the path she's firmly chosen. But she has no personal reason to fight.

Family, country, justice, a stable livelihood.

None of that matters to a kid that age.

So tell me, why would she think she has to fight?

You make a good point.

How is your sister?

Is she good?

Yeah, I think.

She's been staying with my aunt, so she's kind of lonely.

Your aunt?

Oh, actually, because we don't have parents.

I want to make sure she goes to a really good school.

So I need to make some money.

Being a big brother is a big job.

Great, isn't she?

Sorry, you can't have her.

Don't worry, I've already got a little brat.

I plan to take her somewhere extra special on my next leave.

A zoo, or maybe an amusement park, or maybe just shopping.

Since she's a little girl, I bet she'd love clothes or shoes or even some toys.

So in other words, you shouldn't have joined the military, right?

This war's not going well, and I don't think that's going to change for the

better. Yes, I know.

My unit lost 15 people yesterday alone.

Our commander told us it's a normal loss when things get bad.

Normal, huh?

I don't think that many dead is normal.

The number of those now dead and the number of destroyed Legion don't match.

It sure doesn't feel like we're winning, does it?

I bet from the General's perspective, all it means is there are fewer mouths

feed.

Sorry.

No.

But then what's going to happen to you now?

Why did you...

It's happening again.

They never give up.

I bet those Legion have a hard time making friends.

Okay. See you later.

Shini, you're safe now, right?

Yeah.

Frederica, close your eyes. Just trust me.

Eugene, no.

No, then. Tell me the truth.

Did you do that? Good timing, Marcel.

Make the casualty report.

Why didn't you at least try to save his poor life? I know you could have done

it.

You were too busy fighting those stupid chunks of steel, weren't you?

Then go to hell, you battle -mad atheist!

Lieutenant, knock it off.

Shame on you. You're acting no different than that Republic scum.

Wait, I'm sorry. And one more thing. What you did for Lieutenant Ron, thank

No. So let me just say this.

If you joined up out of some desire to repay us for saving you way back then, I

assure you there's no need.

Let me stress, we will never force poor children like you to go to war and risk

your lives again.

It's not too late to get out. Leave the army and live a happy life.

The Legion are coming.

Meet up with your allies while you have the opportunity.

Is that you, Cheney? What's the status?

It's not looking good.

Nordlicht has new orders, and they will execute them.

Gather up at point 2732 in preparation for a new attack, then stand by for

further orders.

Roger.

And Cheney... You are okay.

Welcome back.
