Tia, what's wrong? Tia!

Koichi, I'll protect you.

Something's there!

Northern Longitude 43'31, Western Latitude 79'20, West area of Meteotown

3567 AD, October 4th

I know this thing.

At last they're here.

Hunters, how long do you think you can last against that many Gardeners?

I'd say three hours at most.

That's more than enough.

I'd like you to buy us time until the townspeople finish evacuating.

I'm counting on you.

And we're counting on you to pay us well for this.

Let's go!

We'll go around and strike from the rear!

Right!

Roger!

There they are!

I love this!

Vermilion Journey's Beginning

Hurry!

Hurry! The Gardeners will be here any minute!

Damn, if only the starter would work...

Work!

Hey, if you don't run away the Gardeners will kill you!

All right!

It worked!

There it is!

Tia was sucked inside it.

What is it?

What is that?

Tokito...

I need to find Tokito!

Listen!

There are more Gardeners this time than there've ever been before!

If they make it inside the town we're the last line of defense.

Right!

What's that?

A Gardener!

Why is it coming from this direction?

Here you go!

Let's go!

We're not done yet!

Hey!

What's going on in town?

Have you finished evacuating?

There's a Gardener in town too!

What?

Fire, fire!

All right, it's stopped moving!

Fire, fire!

I heard Tia's voice.

Stop it!

There it is again!

Tokito, protect Tia. Save Silber.

Protect Tia from who?

And what's Silber?

That?

Our watchtower...

Dammit...

Attack!

Wait!

Who are you?

Stop attacking!

That's...

That's not a Gardener!

Tia is inside!

It's a Gardener!

A monster sent from the moon to exterminate us humans!

Stop!

Tia!

Can't you hear that?

I see!

The town's confused too, huh?

It's way worse than that.

A Gardener appeared in town!

Understood!

Eileen, get the Base Trailer ready to go.

What about Misuzu and Tokito?

They'll come back.

We'll wait until they do.

If things get bad we'll have to abandon the town, but we can't abandon our friends.

Right?

Understood.

Mr. Benson, we're at our limit.

Hey, this is dangerous!

Damn...

And I'm out of bullets!

We're falling back!

You guys leave too before it's too late!

I know, but...

Mr. Benson?

What's going on?

Our town...

Damn you Gardeners.

I'm going to protect Koichi.

Stop it!

Tokito?

Koichi...

Tokito!

What's that?

What's happening to me?

Tokito...

Where am I?

What's going on?

I'm so happy you came, Koichi.

Tia, you're safe.

Where are you?

Koichi, you don't know about Silber, do you?

That time, Brother Al...

Silber?

Al?

I don't know what you are talking about!

Tia, where are you?

I'm right here, Koichi.

Tia...

Tia...

Koichi, you're inside me.

Inside you?

Koichi, take control of Silber—of me...

Tokito, Tia, your journey begins here, along with Silber's.

This is a Gardener cockpit.

No, Silber is different from the Gardeners.

It's an older, greater power.

Koichi, it was a power made for you.

I'm not Koichi!

Gardener: Category M - 150 units.

Category K: 3.

Engaged in combat.

Are Yousuke and everyone fighting out there?

Tia, save them!

Silber can do something to save them, right?

I, Silber, will act however you want.

However, I...

Silber, can you do it?

Our town...

Mr. Benson, run!

Mr. Benson!

What?

I've never seen a Gardener like this.

One Category K unit has ceased functioning.

152 units remaining.

Let's go, Tia!

Yes!

What power!

That Gardener... are they fighting amongst themselves?

What is this?

An Olynssis Phenomenon?

Evacuate immediately!

You'll be caught up in the space-time vibrations!

Space-time?

What did you say?

There's no doubt about it, that's a Olynssis Machine.

Why is something like that still around in this era?

This is great.

The Gardeners are killing each other.

Misuzu, is Tokito really inside that thing?

Tokito...

Stay back!

Tia! Tia!

Where are you?

I'm here, Koichi.

Tia, what's wrong?

Does it hurt?

I'm fine.

Fight, Koichi.

I don't want to lose you.

Right!

How's that?

Tia!

Don't worry about it.

One unit left.

Finish this, Koichi!

What is that?

Are we saved?

Tia, we did it!

We won!

We protected the town!

Tia?

What's wrong, Tia?

Answer me!

Koichi, I'm glad.

Tia, what's wrong?

Tia!

We've finished loading!

Rations, ammunition... Bry brought them all on board.

Koichi, where am I?

Our home, Tia.

Come on a journey with us.

Maybe you don't want to?

A journey?

Tia...

Tokito!

We're saved, Tokito.

We were really lucky.

You're safe, everyone.

Tokito, I'm so glad...

I thought you'd died then.

Well, I thought so too— I mean— I'm sorry!

Hey, Tokito.

What happened to that amazing machine?

I don't really know either.

That girl was found collapsed next to the lake 6 months ago, with her memories gone.

All she remembered was the name "Koichi."

Is that you?

No.

Well, it doesn't matter.

But when I think about it, the amount of Gardeners appearing

around the town has increased ever since she appeared.

What are you trying to say?

It seems that that Gardener was controlled by her.

Their in-fighting may have been lucky for us,

but it's also true that she damaged the town.

You're taking an awfully long time to get to the point.

What is it you want to say, old man?

Nothing, just what any member of the town guard would do.

I can't leave something that could threaten the peace of the town!

Hey?

You all seem to have the wrong idea here, Mason, and the rest of you.

This Gardener is ours, we hunted it.

We can't have you disposing of it without our permission.

Yours?

Yes. When it was rampaging through the town,

Tokito went inside it and made it into his own machine.

Right?

Yes, that's right!

I saw it, Tokito!

You really did it, I was impressed!

After you saved the town,

it's not nice of them to brand it as Gardener in-fighting.

I...

Ouch!

That's how it is, so that Gardener is ours.

No complaints, right?

That's right. You need to give us a lot of money to pay for what we did.

We're nice hunters,

we won't overcharge you.

The price is...

How about you give us this girl?

Yousuke!

Well?

Quite a bargain, don't you think?

Very well.

I have no complaints with that.

Mr. Mason!

Koichi.

What would I have to complain about?

We're rid of the nuisance.

Even if she did bring the Gardeners down on us, they're agreeing to take her.

And she'll never come back here.

Right?

Yes, that's how it is I guess.

Thanks.

Koichi...

Yes?

Can I be here?

Yes. Come with us, Tia.

Come on a journey with us.

Amidst the battle, the damage Silber takes hurts Tia's body.

The one who saves them when they're in desperate danger is...
