Papa.

Papa. Ever since he's been gone...

...it seems like I've felt nothing.

I'm not lonely.

I'm not sad.

I'm not suffering.

But, I'm not having fun, either.

In a place where he's not around...

...living anywhere is the same.

If he's not going to be there...

...it's the same no matter whom I live with.

It's probably not just me.

Everyone's the same.

Everyone's lonely. But...

I didn't feel anything.

I wasn't afraid of anything. Yet...

Once I got people I wanted to be with...

...I've become afraid of many things.

What should I do?

What should I do?

What should I do? Papa...

Help me.

Help me. Help me.

Help me!

This is an image taken earlier and sent...

...by a camera at the Tanega Island Rocket Base.

Those stupid girls!

Oops. Sorry.

They're Mikaze Honjyo...

...Shizuha Doi and the escaped Ayamo Nakamura, correct?

What's the meaning of this?!

Oh, no. To think Mikaze wasn't around.

So she's in outer space.

Give it a rest already!

Say...

What?

Isn't it a bit cramped in here?

It can't be helped.

This wasn't made for people to ride in to begin with.

Wasn't outer space supposed to be spacious?

Oh, I'm sure it is spacious.

Outside, anyway.

Argh! We're in space, but...!

Why don't we even have windows?!

The periodic delivery has entered the area.

Homing in on the connection course.

It'll soon be docking.

Very well. Proceed to unloading duties once it arrives.

Roger.

What about them?

We've cornered them in block B-12.

We'll soon have them in custody.

Could we have... arrived?

We're probably there.

Really?! That's it?!

That was less than a roller coaster ride!

It's probably like that. It's just a ride.

But we're in outer space!

It should have a more adventurous feeling to it!

Mikaze! We didn't come here to play!

Let's go!

Huh?

There's no air pressure inside the cargo ship.

Look at that.

Whee! Once in space, space swimming is the thing!

Ugh... Think I'm getting vertigo.

I think we can get in from over there.

Don't move!

I'm suffocating...

You're?! I'm suffocating...

What?!

What's this, all of a sudden?!

Can't you tell?

We're in the middle of a fight with invaders!

You're from Earth's...

That's right.

The squad crawling on all...

...fours and mopping up after your ass.

You're quite the type to hold a grudge, Ayamo.

Leave me alone.

You were sent to rescue us?!

No. We only came here to rescue Karin.

While we're at it, we can help you too.

Don't make me laugh.

We've run out of options and...

...we got more troublesome people!

Who are you calling troublesome?!

If you say so, I won't give you the good stuff!

See?

I got these from someone, but what will you do?

If you ask, we'll let you borrow them.

Miharu...

Please be safe.

Gee, how long do we need to stay like this?!

There might even be a need for interception.

But...

It's amazing how Mr. Iwasaki can sleep at a time like this.

Sleeping is also a part of the job.

Instead of thinking too hard...

...it's best to sleep.

You guys ought to get some rest too.

What are you doing?!

There's zero gravity here.

Take that! Whoa, whoa, whoa!

What direction are you looking at and firing, anyway?!

They may be stun guns...

...but you'll be seriously injured from point blank range!

If you can't handle it properly, don't fire!

Ugh. I feel sick.

Oop. Could you have space sickness?

Seriously...

...allowing the witnesses to escape into space.

This will reflect upon your responsibilities.

Our agency has a...

...great mission and responsibility toward mankind on Earth.

By ignoring the will of the...

...agency, you're turning your back on humanity.

Hehe. Mission and responsibility.

What's so funny?

Oh, excuse me.

I recall...

...saying something similar to what you're saying now.

Then...

No, I'm not like that now.

The responsibility we ought to...

...shoulder is what we can leave...

...behind for the next generation.

That's all there is to it.

Twisting around the futures of young...

...people just to suit the convenience of us...

...adults is unforgivable.

Why are you saying this now?

What's important is...

...what those girls decide to do on their own.

And they decided.

Our responsibility is to observe what the results are.

The medical unit is beyond that door.

So that's where Karin is!

Annette!

It's too much! Come back!

Karin!

Don't come!

Let go!

Being led by your emotions, taking...

...actions that are less than ideal is your weakness.

Y... You're...

Give us back Karin...

Give her back?

What are you talking about?

She's one of us.

What?

She's the same as us, a new seed which has evolved.

She wasn't one of you to begin with.

Isn't that right?

Karin... Shoot her.

Heh. She knows who ought to...

...be shot more than anyone else.

I don't know.

What?

How do I fire this thing? Oops.

Karin, you idiot...

I have the best solution.

You should become one of us, too.

That way, you can stay with her forever.

No.

Come. Come to our world.

Mikaze!

Still getting in the way?!

I didn't think your personality was this negative.

No!

Mikaze!

Are you all right, Mikaze?

Y... yeah. What... about Karin?

I'm hungry.

Geez.

You really had us worried there.

I was worried that you were going to shoot Mikaze.

That wasn't OK?

What? Say, wait a minute, you.

Which side were you going to go with, anyway?

Hm... The side who won.

Heh heh. Just kidding.

This is the first time I've heard Karin joke.

Everyone...

Thank you.

Let's go back to everyone.

Yeah.

What is it?!

The comet... has entered the interception area.

What's that?

Nigel-87.

The giant comet which is the core...

...of the group of comets.

Interception from the ground isn't feasible and...

...not even the Comet Blasters can completely destroy it.

No...

If such a big thing falls on Earth...

With a 20-megaton class explosion...

...the Earth will be completely destroyed.

Wait.

She dropped this.

We'll definitely send you back to Mr. Sako...

...so please wait.

To think...

...we'd be saved by you...

Heh, heh. Isn't it frustrating? Urp!

System's recovered!

But Nigel-87's already passed...

...the second precautionary line!

No...

What should we do?

With its size...

Even if it's intercepted...

...a large fragment will still fall on Earth.

What?!

The other stations are still under the control...

...of the enemy and we're out of pilots!

No, we do have pilots.

Huh? Huh?

What?!

This time...

...to match the scale of the comet...

...a large type missile is equipped.

Remember how things went...

...in the simulation and have confidence in yourself.

Doesn't this seem like we've become...

...Comet Blasters by force, instead of earning it?

There's certainly no sense of appreciation for this.

We haven't passed the tests...

...do you think it's ok?

The world is like that.

Licenses are meaningless.

CB-1, CB-2, begin auto check.

Trident Missiles designated at mode B-3.

Wow!

It's really identical to the simulator.

Of course it is.

All right, let's go!

Huh?

What's the matter, Karin?

Am I all right with you?

What?

I'm... different.

Karin...

You're not different.

You're you. You're our friend.

Let's fly!

Yeah.

This is...

Comet Blaster.

CB-1, CB-2...

There's no time. Going directly into launch sequence.

CB-1, roger!

CB-2, roger!

We haven't passed the tests yet so...

...this emblem will have to wait.

That's right.

Well, that's just temporary.

Begin countdown.

T-minus 5 seconds...

4... 3...

2...

1...

Dive!

Beautiful.

Stop daydreaming!

You plan to dive into the atmosphere?

Of course not!

Communication from Orbital Station 7.

It's from Miss Honjyo!

Say what?!

Shimoji Island base...

...from Orbital Station 7...

...this is Mikaze Honjyo.

We're safe and successfully rescued Karin!

We were going to return immediately but...

...an emergency came up so we'll be late!

We're on to Nigel-87 for an interception mission.

We're about to send you mission plans...

...so please follow through on the follow-up support.

Please.

You girls are what?!

Incoming mission plans.

These are the courses for the fragments after pulverization.

The mass is large so they're rather accurate.

The fragments will be split into five.

Two will fall on the southern Atlantic Ocean...

...one on the northern Pacific...

...one more will hit central Japan!

The probability of it passing through...

...Shimoji Island's interception area is...

...98%!

Those stupid girls!

They want us to do the mop-up work?!

Commander!

Cosmic Emergency Management Agency...

...Shimoji Island base will now prepare for interception!

Stop acting on your own accord!

Without our approval...

...you're not allowed to do anything on this base!

But if it falls, we all die.

Ordinary citizens shouldn't butt in!

Scramble! Crafts 1, 2, get ready for dispatch!

Let's go.

Yeah!

Wait!

Your actions have not been approved!

Go back to your place!

Can you stop me?

Excuse me.

Sashiba 1-1, Sashiba 2-2, scramble.

All right!

Go blow up a big one!

Sashiba 1-1, blastoff!

Sashiba 2-2, blastoff!

Pilots look great when they go up, don't they?

"Completely Ignore" me, huh...

Travel path normal.

Relative speed error, 0.03%.

Adjusting with pulse thrusts, 0.2.

Pulse thrusts, 0.2.

Once you reach the upper atmosphere...

...raise the craft angle while diving towards Earth.

If you get lazy with the entry angle...

...the centrifugal force will bounce you back.

Ugh. Roger.

Ayamo, how's your space sickness?

Nothing at all!

Once I grab a hold of a stick, I'm feeling fine!

You're so easy to please.

Man, that Mikaze.

She's added some unnecessary work.

Well, this means we're being trusted!

No need to worry because...

...we'll keep shooting them down.

Bring it on, right, Kazuma?!

Yeah, put everything you've got into it.

Those are your skies.

Wow.

The G-force is completely different from the simulator.

Target in sight.

Time before firing missile...

...5 seconds.

4... 3... 2...

No!

What? Was that?

The comet changed its orbital path.

Recalculating the missile aim!

That can't be!

The plan is canceled!

You can't launch from that angle!

Karin?!

We can still do it. Adjust 2 degrees to the left.

Control.

CB-1, will continue mission.

CB-2, continuing the mission.

Those girls...

5 seconds until missile launch.

4...

3...

2...

Again!

Crap!

CB-1, CB-2...

...the plan is canceled!

Fall back from course immediately!

If they get any closer...

...they won't be able to avoid the missile explosion.

What?!

The boundaries of safety have been surpassed!

The missiles won't reach anymore.

The plan is a failure!

Come back!

How about it, Karin?

Adjust 3 degrees to the right.

Adjust up 1.5 degrees.

Momentarily dive toward Earth, accelerate, and it'll reach.

If you say so!

What to do?

Of course we're going!

CB-1, CB-2...

...re-entering interception path.

If we get any closer...

...we'll get caught in the explosion.

I see. Is that OK?

I don't like it.

Safety device, cut!

5 seconds before missile launch.

4...

3...

2...

This time!

It's good!

Fox One!

Fox One!

No... I want to go back...

This is no joke!

There are still things I need to do!

It has been 6 months since the great assault.

The Cosmic Emergency Management Agency...

...has announced the establishment of a new investigative...

...committee to find the cause for the mysterious...

...orbital station functionality stoppage accident.

The Comet Blasters and station crew have all...

...been safely rescued and are currently hospitalized...

...and receiving special investigative treatment.
