And the young man pondered...

..."What is beyond that rainbow?"

"I know, there must be a wonderful future that lies ahead. "

"A wonderful future where people live without sorrow... "

"...and where laughter abounds... "

"...must lie beyond that rainbow."

"I shall go."

"I shall see for myself."

And the young man gathered up his courage...

...and began to climb the bridge of hope that shined with color.

Looking straight ahead, with a sparkle in his eye...

...only looking forward.

I'm glad you made the right decision, Lime.

I can become human.

Become human.

The Girls Beyond the Rainbow

Any movement in the Neo Mesopotamia?

None yet.

There's a weak plasma emission coming from it.

Keep an eye on it.

Yes.

Lime...

Don't give in.

Lime.

Have you prepared yourself for this, Lime?

It'll be quick.

And you will become human as you wished.

I thank you.

Now I can finally return to Earth.

All right then...

...enter the machine, Lime.

Lime!

Dr. Hesse!

You don't have to be so crude.

The security's been turned off.

There's only one machine.

You'll both have to go after Lime.

I'm sorry to make you wait.

Don't misunderstand!

We've come to take Lime back!

Oh.

All right, Lime. Let's go.

No sense staying any longer.

Leave me alone.

I made my decision.

I came because I want to become human.

Lime...

What are you saying?

Don't touch me!

Dr. Hesse is going to make me human!

Are you being serious?

I'm going to become human.

I'm going to become human, and be Otaru's bride!

The Neo Mesopotamia continues to emit weak plasma traces.

Strange.

That amount of power...

...isn't enough to launch it.

What are you up to, Hesse?

Lord Faust, its location is Point NY44E.

What?

Take a look.

Point NY44E is exactly where...

...the Xian and...

...Japoness volcanic plates collide.

In the third level of this junction...

...there's twice the plasma energy in the volcanic rock than normal.

I see. He's planning to harness this plasma energy...

...as a booster to launch the Neo Mesopotamia.

I think so.

Wait...

...this means that!

Yes. If this latent plasma energy is...

...released all at once!

The cities!

Oh my god...

Tiger...

Contact Xian and Japoness!

Yes, sir!

Panther, prepare for battle!

Yes, sir!

Luchs, can we penetrate the Neo Mesopotamia's launch system?

Well, I've been trying to get in for some time, but...

...the launch system seems to be separate from the comm system.

What is it?!

The security system is wide open!

It could be a trap!

Never mind. Get in there.

Yes, sir. I'll get it up on the monitor.

Lime!

...right? I know you two want...

...to become human beings too.

Dr. Hesse says he'll turn us into human beings.

Lime...

Instead...

Instead of this machine body...

...don't you want a body like Otaru's that's warm with blood?

Don't you? Don't you both want that?!

No.

I'm happy the way I am.

As long as I have a machine body...

...I can never be a real sister to those kids...

...or be a real mother to little Kotaru.

But...

...I don't mind that.

I'll stay the way I am.

Think, Lime...

It's because we're marionettes that we were able to meet Otaru.

Because we're marionettes.

Don't you see that we have these incredible souls thanks to him?

I'm sure Otaru wouldn't wish for us...

...to become human.

I think so too.

Cherry... Bloodberry... Lime...

Come on, Lime. Let's go.

Lime.

No.

That's not true!

Lime!

That's not true! That's definitely, totally not true!

Then tell me, why did Otaru leave us?!

Otaru wants us to be human!

He wants us to become human!

I mean, we're really weird!

What are we, anyway?!

Machines? No, we have souls.

But we're not human.

So, tell me what we really are! Don't you think it's strange?!

I know it's not right! It just can't be right!

I just can't take this anymore.

Lime!

Otaru!

I'll bring the ship next to the Neo Mesopotamia.

Get on board when you have the chance!

All right!

Approach the Neo Mesopotamia, full speed ahead!

Begin attack!

Yes, sir!

Faust...

Lord Faust!

Never mind me! Keep up the attack!

Lime... Cherry... Bloodberry...

Don't you want to be human?

Don't you want to be human?

Stop it, Bloodberry!

Of course I want to be human.

There are a lot of things I want to do as a human being.

But, that's not possible!

But Dr. Hesse said!

You're being tricked!

But I believe him!

Dr. Hesse just wants to go back to Earth!

Have you forgotten?!

He's the one who took all of our memories away!

What?

Please, stop!

Lime, there's nothing to be ashamed of the way you are.

We may be neither human nor machine...

...but that's nothing to be ashamed of!

How could you?

Get a hold of yourself, Lime!

How could you believe in a man like that?

You're horrible! Horrible!

This is all your fault!

You manipulated her with lies!

Stop it, Bloodberry!

Lime!

Leave me alone!

Lime, your soul is a wonderful gift given to you by Otaru...

I just...

I just don't know anymore...

...how Otaru feels.

I just don't know...

Thank you.

I got all of your data.

What was that?! But the machine is!

Oh, no!

The whole room is like a scanner system!

I appreciate your help, my friends.

And now I can finally...

...go and annihilate the planet Earth.

Annihilate Earth?

What?!

All I've lived for during the last 400 years...

...is to see that Earth is destroyed.

The people who separated me from my family...

...the home of the people who abandoned me on this planet.

I am going to destroy that planet by myself!

The Neo Mesopotamia...

...is a spaceship that was built specifically for that purpose!

How could you, Hesse?!

Were you lying when you said you wanted to go home?

You're not getting away with this!

You'll never get away!

Fools...

You wanted to be human that much, huh?

Lime...

...I had absolutely no intention...

...to make you human.

And that is a show of kindness on my part.

To want to become a wretched human...

...is downright idiotic.

Infected with ugly egos, they quarrel and quarrel...

...until ultimately succumbing to the savage urge to kill each other.

The despicable creatures are not worthy of your aspiration!

I believed in you!

Believing in me, just because you want to become human.

You said you'll make me!

Lime!

Damn!

Stop it!

Prepare to die, Dr. Hesse!

Well, well...

A hologram!

Otaru!

Did I ever say...

...that you were inadequate...

...because you were machines or marionettes?

Did I ever say I wanted you to become humans?

No, but...

...you're... you're human...

It doesn't matter!

It doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter if you're human...

...or marionette for me to love you.

I thought you understood that.

I never thought you guys were suffering...

...over something like that.

I'm sorry...

...for not understanding how you felt.

I'm really sorry.

Otaru...

Otaru, I...

Hesse!

What's that?!

Farewell, my friends! It was quite a lot of fun!

Otaru!

Just get out of here!

Otaru!

The castle! Go to the castle!

There's no point in interrogating me any further...

I have nothing left to say.

We're short-handed!

We need you to help control the crowds!

A huge rainbow!

Damn!

Otaru...

I can't forgive him! I can't forgive Dr. Hesse!

How dare he manipulate...

...and hurt innocent people.

But I can't forgive myself even more.

Being tricked into his plan...

...and letting him steal the data like that.

And destroying Japoness and Xian...

...the places where the people I love are living.

We feel the same way.

The three of us are one.

Whatever happens, that will never change.

Otaru!

Don't worry about me.

Just promise me you'll come back.

Promise me you'll come back.

The lava rock is starting to lift!

Let's go!

Yes.

We have just one question for you, Otaru.

What is it?

Which one of us would you have as your bride?

Huh?

Tell us, Master Otaru.

Yeah, I want to know! I want to know!

We don't want to go with that left hanging.

You guys...

Come on, hurry! There's no time!

- Master Otaru! - Otaru!

All right, I'll tell you!

The one I'd have as my bride!

The one I'd have as my bride!

That ties up the final loose end.

Thank you, Master Otaru.

Otaru...

...see you later!

And the young man pondered...

..."What is beyond that rainbow?"

"I know, there must be a wonderful future that lies ahead. "

"A wonderful future where people live without sorrow... "

"...and where laughter abounds... "

"...must lie beyond that rainbow."

"I shall go."

"I shall see for myself."

...and began to climb the bridge of hope that shined with color.

Looking straight ahead, with a sparkle in his eye...
