I've been waiting for you, Kouichi Hayase-kun.

So there's a damn Arma up here in addition to the satellite weapon!

- Miu-san! - Miu!

Oh, dear.

Falling already?

I wanted to enjoy this more.

The Katou Organization's assault is growing fiercer!

The operation to destroy

the Helios's magnetic field mirror satellites from the ground

is lagging behind badly!

1st Squad of Jinrai, engage in the battle at Cape Canaveral.

2nd and 3rd Squads will go to Singapore's Seletar Naval Base

and assist the launch of the mirror satellites attack force.

Bear in mind! This is all-out war!

Roger!

Now's your chance!

Right!

Reiji!

The SSDF's Jinrai squads have made it in time!

It looks like they've reinforced their respective locations.

Kiriyama, huh?

The HFX-19 Jinrai.

The craft that the SSDF was developing jointly

with Kiriyama Heavy Industries.

Kizaki-kun,

I will look after those on the ground.

I'm going to leave Helios and Hayase-kun's group to you.

Y-Yes, sir.

Hayase-kun, I shall now give you a demonstration...

...of my power of imagination!

Oh, look! A star!

You're more beautiful than any star.

Tokyo. Finland. America. Dubai.

A simultaneous multi-pronged attack launched by the Helios!

You bastard!

Too bad!

This year's Christmas has been canceled!

What I hold in my heart is justice

My sun that burns red and hot

The truth slumbers froZen somewhere in this world

I reach out in search of it

How much love and sorrow will I touch?

To remain true to myself, I melt the darkness away

When I pass through the doorway to a world I have yet to see

If my wings are to be injured

I will turn my heart hard as iron

O crisscrossing lights

The shadows dropped will surely make the time beyond the future shine

Far corners of the boundless universe

Each to their own solitary star

We live, connecting to one another

To become bridges that transcend Earth

The daylight moon, dimly lurking in the aZure sky

Taunting, clouding, though droplets of the dream may spill

I reach out my hand, the warmth that I receive

The smile I find there, for you to remain true to yourself

I will lay down my life by your side

And the triumph that shields me

You bastard!

Why attack cities that aren't even military bases or anything?!

Imagination, my dear Hayase-kun.

The foolish couple that just died in that attack

never imagined in their wildest dreams that they would die today.

They took for granted that everyone celebrated love and happiness,

and never doubted that the same would continue to hold tomorrow.

Get real!

Please listen to me.

Currently, Helios is under the control of the Yaoyorozu,

a Katou Organization Arma.

The main neutral charge particle cannon

takes 380 seconds to recharge.

Yamashita-kun,

please shoot down as many magnetic field mirror satellites as you can

and reduce the main cannon's effective range.

Roger.

Hayase-kun, please bring down the Yaoyorozu

before the main cannon completes recharging.

Leave it to me!

One shot and that sluggish-looking bastard will be history!

What?!

You judged based on looks, didn't you?!

That this Yaoyorozu was a slow, unresponsive craft?!

Wh-What're these?!

My dear Hayase-kun, imagine! Please use your imagination more.

Shut up!

Stupid things!

Hayase!

You judged based on looks again, didn't you?

The power of these associated attack munitions, the "Shinkahia"!

Those folks down on the surface are cavorting because it's Christmas,

and you're of the same ilk!

B-Bastard!

Repent on this holy night!

Riku seems to be on a roll.

He asked for that post himself, after all.

He must be unusually inspired.

At this rate...

Hang in there!

It's for Hayase 'n the others fightin' up there, too!

We gotta do our best!

We can't lose, no matter what!

Help is here!

The SSDF's Jinrai?!

l-Incredible!

Let's make quick work of these puny guys!

Hayase and I've got a Christmas party to go to!

Ya know Hayase?!

Do I know him?!

I'm the glorious No. 1 Hayase Corps member, Makoto Doumyouzi!

Huh?

This is for Hayase fighting up there, too!

We of the Hayase Corps have got to do our best!

Don't copy my line!

Or rather, who the hell is "we"?!

Don't group us together without our permission!

Hayase Corps, all units move out!

Listen to me when I'm talkin'!

Magnetic field mirror satellites attack force is away!

Linebarrel's remaining window of opportunity, 250 seconds.

8% of the magnetic field mirror satellites have been shot down.

280 seconds until main cannon is recharged.

I can't even land a scratch on him!

Where should I strike next?

The Rockefeller Center?

Or a resort island in the southern hemisphere?

Harajuku... Roppongi...

The Hyakkendana Shopping Arcade in Shibuya... I'll blow them all away!

All missiles have been neutralized!

It looks like you're the only one

who can take out the magnetic field mirror satellites.

I'm the only one...

Calm yourself and do this.

You have power.

Power?

It may be a bit too much for you right now, boy.

But this power of yours...

You're the only one who can make it worth something!

It's up to you to decide the meaning and worth of your own power!

That's the one privilege you have as someone who's come into power.

Hayase-kun.

We have analyzed the Yaoyorozu's pattern of behavior.

It is using the majority of its system resources to control Helios,

so it is on semi-autopilot.

Its behavior pattern is quite complicated,

but it is possible for us to estimate its movements.

Yamashita-kun, please fire on coordinates specified by us.

Roger!

All right! Here goes!

Too slow! You are too slow, Hayase-kun!

You will not be able to stop me like that!

Go!

- Wha?! - Gotcha!

We did it!

I didn't feel it... hit home?!

You people really lack the power of imagination, don't you?

- That's! - Special armor!

The Linebarrel...

...has passed beyond the effective range...

Have the Heavens forsaken us?!

Does that mean we won't make it in time now?

So it would seem.

This is the end of the line.

If we are to protect mankind,

we have no choice but to surrender to the Katou Organization.

Don't give me that crap! Like hell we can do that!

The Helios's main cannon

is already locked on to metropolises all over the world.

The moment it completes recharging,

we are certain to literally see the earth reduced to ashes.

Damn it!

Isn't there something we can do?!

Isn't there some way?!

Hayase-kun, look behind you.

What?

That is what rests upon your shoulders right now.

Kouichi, stop crying already.

We got back the present that Furuya and his gang took, after all.

That's right.

So, everything's good now.

Here! I finished making your favorite strawberry cake!

- Whoa... - What?!

If you're going to complain, no cake for you, Yajima!

Uh, I lied! It looks super good!

Look, Kouichi, I'm gonna eat up this cake!

l-I want some, too!

Here, Kouichi.

It's delicious!

This is... what's resting on my shoulders right now?

So in the end, you're resorting to a threat.

No, this is...

"A desperate plea."

Right?

Honestly...

The world and mankind and stuff like that...

Who in their right mind burdens a middle-school kid with that stuff?

But you know...

This is a nice turn of events!

Save the world and protect mankind!

That's not bad!

Yamashita-kun!

I'm going to disengage the limiter to the Executor now!

What?!

Since it's come to this, to hell with the window of opportunity!

I'll use up all the power that we've got between me and this guy,

and hack that thing to pieces from here!

B-But the Linebarrel is already on a descending trajectory!

Under these circumstances,

if you use up the Linebarrel's power and it stops functioning,

the craft will end up burning up!

That's why I'm leaving the rest to you, Yamashita-kun.

What?

What's wrong with you?! Answer him properly!

All right!

I'll catch you, without fail, Hayase!

Yeah! I'll be counting on you!

B-But that is!

Farewell to the world.

To the ignorant masses befuddled by the illusion of Christmas

and lacking in the power of imagination...

Disengaging the limiter!

Executor charging!

Now, Linebarrel,

show me the limits of what you've got!

Helios main cannon, 20 seconds to being fully recharged!

10 seconds.

9. 8. 7.

6. 5. 4.

3. 2. 1.

Go!

Good-bye!

Risa! Come here for a sec! Come here!

What is it?

There! Look at that!

Wow, that's amazing!

It's like a shower of light, isn't it?!

I guess Earth really is blue...

Yajima, were you watching?

I wound up saving the world.

Hey, even you've got to be surprised by that.

Somehow...

...I feel really good.

Linebarrel, entering the atmosphere!

Boy, show them how you're going to use the power that's yours now!

Yes, ma'am!

Here goes!

Bullet Arms!

Boosters at maximum!

Hayase!

You okay, Hayase?!

l-I thought I was a dead man.

Damn! So this is as far as we get?

Mission is a success!

Both Hayase-kun and Yamashita-kun are all right!

We did it! Reiji, good work!

Sister, Hayase-san and the others did it!

Alrighty! We won!

All right!

Then, to celebrate our victory as the Hayase Corps...

Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!

Quit that!

Hayase-kun was caught in the descent of the Linebarrel

and he just happened to end up becoming a Factor.

That was all there was to it.

He has nothing.

Yes, there was that aberrant incident where he lost his friend,

but he essentially has no reason to pilot the Linebarrel as a Factor.

No reason to fight and no burden to bear.

That's why I wanted him to know...

...the true nature of the power that he'd gained.

And I wanted him to know what he had protected with that power

and what he has the potential to protect in the future.

Other than that,

I personally just wanted to see it.

See what?

The so-called moment when a champion of justice is born!

Yeah!

Yaoyorozu's signal has been lost.

The Linebarrel's attack came just a moment sooner than expected

and it seems the escape system did not make it in time.

I see.

But we were able to achieve our goal.

We will proceed to the next stage as planned.

Yes, sir.

To our comrade, who has become a star in the sky.

Coming!

Evening!

Sorry for being late!

By way of an apology, here. An honest-to-goodness roast turkey!

Oh, my, I don't know what to say.

Wow! It looks delicious!

You all really did great work!

Let's drink ourselves silly and get rowdy!

Yay!

Sister, what are you drinking?

Juice, 'course!

Honestly!

You did well on this mission.

Th-Thank you very much!

K-Kizaki...

S-So you know...

Hayase-kun, you really did well today.

Oh... yeah...

So, um...

This is a present.

Wow!

Thank you very much.

Oh, no, it's nothing much anyway.

Well, Merry Christmas!

Hey, Hayase, where're ya goin'?!

- Yer awful! Abandonin' us to go somewhere else! - Oh, really! Come on!

Sister, stop that! You should be ashamed!

So, this white shadow just keeps chasing after him.

The man frantically races back to his apartment.

And just as he sank to the floor in exhaustion, the doorbell...

H-Hey.

Where's the chicken?

I totally forgot about it...

S-Sorry...

Honestly!

Then, you'll have to pay the penalty for it later.

Sure, sure. So, what do I have to do?

Wow!

It's cute!

I'd have liked one, too...

If the rain should let up

Where should I go home to?

When I want to see you

How should I call for you?

For whom and for what

Do I want to become stronger?

The contradiction of fighting when I want to protect

Will you give me the answer to that?

To your sky awaiting a rainbow, where it rains

(Take me away)

Out of the neverending dream, where it rains

(Take me away)

Kiss me just once and I can be freer

This moment will not come around a second time

Transcending reality and imagination, together with you

(We fly away)

Transcending boundaries and limitations, together with you

(We fly away)

The view I'd searched so long for, just one miracle

See, this is how you're going about changing everything

Man, I never get bored when I'm around that guy!

And he's knee-deep in girls, too!

Or rather, the quality of the girls at JUDA is insanely high!

Corps Leader, please!

Give me one or two or three or four! Share a little!

DoumyouZi-kun, you're despicable!
