I see... I see it!

I see the light... What is it? This light?

So bright! The light will determine everything!

It comes! The light... So bright!

An evil power! It destroys all!

It swallows the Earth itself!

Within the light, something?!

Battle Planet confirmed in Area 94!

Capt. Flair, the beam reflectors are now dispersed!

All ships, set for barrage to port, Area 94!

FIRE!

All shots have hit! But... I don't see any less of them!

What?!

Reports coming in now... They're all over the place!

Set to repel proximity attack! All batteries to auto-control!

Unknown attack pattern! Computer can't compensate!

Starboard main engine hit! Output down 65%!

- Groups 19 and 20 off-line! - Damn... They've got us!

Captain, they're penetrating the Neptune auto-cannon line!

Nuclear cannons activating!

They're moving in from Pluto's orbit!

Bastards... There's no stopping them.

- What the hell?! - Now what?!

I'm reading a massive energy buildup in Area 94, sir!

The hell? They're pulling back!

Jesus... All ships come about 180 degrees! Retreat, full speed!

No time!

No use... And I'm sure it's in his memory banks.

Professor, look at this!

Something... Something in Orgun's memories...

...is preventing him from outputting the data.

"Something"?

Where... Where am I?

Orgun...

Who's there?!

Orgun!

Who?! Who are you?!

You... I know you! Zoa! You're Zoa!

Orgun, one born of the Evoluder must return.

Come back, our hero! Orgun!

What's happening?!

If I don't do something!

Professor!

I'm going to try to get inside with a synch-up...

...and clear whatever's blocking that data!

Set it to Level 7!

But, that's dangerous! Prof. Kanzaki...

Don't argue! Do it!

Yes, ma'am!

Orgun... Orgun.

Orgun!

Think back to your life of battle.

To the glory of destruction!

Orgun, it's not too late.

Come back to us and be a hero of the coming battle.

Come back as our vanguard of destruction!

Stop it!

Devil! Nothing exists for you outside of destruction!

Yes, I sense it now...

The will of destruction, the instincts of the Evoluder!

You are the very essence of the Evoluder hero.

What?!

Let the anger build, the hate grow.

The will of destruction is the true heart of our people!

You are a true hero, a Detonator!

No! I don't want to fight! I don't want to hurt anyone!

Ridiculous... You dare say such nonsense?!

You with the blood of hundreds and thousands on your hands...

The destroyer of worlds, dares say that?!

Stop it... STOP IT!!!

Orgun... Accursed warrior. You need not fight any longer.

Once you turn away from your destiny...

...your only course is death!

Do not be afraid. Now, come to your destiny!

Let yourself fall into the abyss of darkness, Orgun!

Tomoru!

Tomoru!

Who dares?!

Don't let the image trap you! Don't lose yourself to it.

Miss Kanzaki! No, stay back!

Compassion doesn't exist for them.

They only live for battle.

We aren't ready to resist them.

Please! Open your mind and let us have the data.

The memories Orgun gave to you!

I don't know... I don't know how to give it to you!

I know everything when I'm fighting...

...but after the battle's over, all that's left is emptiness!

Tomoru...

The data Orgun has is vital to us.

Earth's technology as it stands is no match for them.

We have no chance of winning a war.

But, that doesn't mean it's hopeless!

An eye for an eye, you're saying?

Do it for your own sake, at least!

My sake?

Try to remember! What it was that led Orgun to Earth.

Yes... He came to protect something.

Something important to him!

Damn your meddling!

The destruction of your race will begin with your mind!

Miss Kanzaki!

Tomoru...

Orgun, nothing can escape destiny.

And the Earth you fight to defend...

...is destined to be destroyed at our hands!

Can you save it, Orgun?

Can your puny powers, your foolish ideas...

...help you to defeat ZOA?!

You're right. There's no way Earth can stand up to them.

If the data will give humanity a fighting chance...

If it's really what he wants...

Then take it! Take the data! Orgun's memories!

Tomoru!

So... That's it for me, then...

You fought well. Both of you did.

He abandoned his people... Risked his life coming to Earth...

But why?! What's here?

I think I'm starting to understand.

I've had enough of this world. I was born in the wrong time.

We have machines for everything; it's convenient, but...

I wish I could have been born in the past.

Yeah... The 20th century still had a healthy dose of chaos.

The world moved on men's passions.

That's just what he feels too, isn't it?

He's just another you.

"Another me"?

I'll... I'll try to do my best to help.

What are you saying?!

They're just too strong for us.

We lost the Pluto fleet...

...and they've penetrated the Neptune firing line.

We threw every nuke we had at them, and still...

They had the power to destroy the Dreadnought in an instant?

A power we have no way of fighting?!

Director, it's Prof. Kanzaki.

Put her on.

Miss Kanzaki, give it to me straight. How long?

We'll need every public, private, and EDF production line...

...to link up with the Wirbel Wind production system.

If we transfer all of I-ZACK's functions over to the project...

...and give it all our energy and resources...

Three months.

Three months?! That's when the Battle Planet reaches Earth!

I see. The project will have to begin immediately.

There's no other way.

Total weapons production... It's unheard of!

I don't believe it.

All of an advanced society's resources turned to war?!

That's the situation! Go to it, Kanzaki!

Yes, sir. Also, we've found a limit on how many times...

...Orgun and Tomoru Shindo can merge together.

They can't combine their elemental particles...

...separate, and recombine indefinitely.

And if they continue to do so?

There may come a time when they won't be able to separate...

No, I don't think they can link again without risking their lives.

That's why, for their sake too, this project has to succeed!

I see, Professor.

We need a Solid Armor Unit that anyone can use.

Go to it.

Yes, sir.

This... This is for the best.

We won't have to depend on Shindo or Orgun following our orders.

Not when the EDF can have its own Solid Armor teams.

You think we can beat them if we do that?

Once they're defeated, all that advanced war technology...

...will be ours for the taking. Isn't that right, sir?

Bannings, how many years have you worked for me?

The situation isn't nearly that simple!

Think only of the task at hand!

Forgive me, sir.

Somehow, some way, we have to make this project work.

The fate of the entire Earth depends on it!

Commander, we should be through their 2nd defense line momentarily.

They think we will be turned by such pathetic weaponry?

Laughable at best!

Hasten the awakening of our warriors!

I want to knock them back to Jupiter in one stroke!

Lady Mhiku...

Something... Something calls to me!

I see a world of blue... Someone calls to me from there.

What?!

Who are you? You're like me. You see what is yet to be.

How can she be reacting this way?!

Fleets Four and Five, velocity minus four!

5.2 hours to enemy fleet concentration.

Advance full speed, in fleet formation!

Repeat, advance full, in fleet formation!

Stand by on video recording.

Dish angle adjustment... set!

Are you sure about this? I won't lie to you about the risk.

It doesn't matter. Please begin.

As you wish. Begin transmission!

Come on... Come on!

Is this all? How puny!

What is it?

We're being contacted from outside!

What are they thinking?! Trying to access Zohma directly?!

I sense a powerful mind. Who are you?

I am you. You are me.

I finally understand it all.

Another me?

He gave up his friends, gave up everything...

Made it to the moon.

Of course! He was fleeing the future.

The past fascinates him, too...

I-ZACK and I have both reached the same conclusion.

They created an ideal form to adapt to the harshness of space.

The Solid Armor Unit is the ultimate body for them.

It makes the Evoluder millions of years more evolved than us.

But as they changed, they lost something vital...

Of all your race who gave up everything...

...only one original member remains.

It is you, Mhiku!

She's saying that planet is what we seek?

That... we've returned?

Everything was as I foresaw... Including Orgun's desertion!

He didn't desert! He was coming home.

He sought what it was you all have lost!

What they lost?

What we lost?

Mhiku, open your eyes!

This desire for destruction is not yours!

Break contact! What are you waiting for?!

Smash the enemy before us! Destroy them and break through!

What we lost...

Lady Mhiku?!

The light!

Antimatter cannon...

The terrible energy of rage!

FIRE!!!

- Kumi? Kumi?! - What's wrong?

Kumi, are you alright? Kumi?!

What happened? Speak to us!

An antimatter cannon?!

Can their technology really be that far ahead of us?!

Saturn fleet ended up just like our ships at Pluto.

All we can do now is pull back our remaining ships...

...and set up a final defense line in lunar orbit.

But, what if they manage to break that line as well?

Then Earth is finished.

Our current military power just isn't enough.

Everything's riding on Kanzaki's Solid Armor Project.

- Miss Kanzaki. - Sir?

How is the project proceeding?

Look for yourself.

Orgun Production Prototype #1, nearly completed.

We estimate it to be 69% as powerful as the original armor.

Finish it as fast as you can!

Everything depends on you and I-ZACK! Please...

Yes, sir. I'll do my best!

Only three months remain until their Battle Planet reaches us...

We face a crisis!

But, no need to fear!

Your courage, your passion, will save the day!

Courage! Strength! Future! EDF!

So? Isn't it great, Tomoru?

The audition was hell! 73 people applied for the spot.

What's with you, Tomoru? Why the long face?

Yeah, what else?

Sure things look bad, but we'll pull through.

Humans aren't total idiots.

Besides, if things get tight, you know what'll happen?

That "Orgun" guy'll come and POW! Bye-bye bad guys!

Yeah, you're right.

Your brother's back from Luna, isn't he?

After this is all over, you should go see your dad...

...over in City No. 3. Pay the old man your respects.

Yeah, maybe I'll do that.

Anyway, let's get to the shelter.

I've got lots of software for the PASFU, so we won't be bored.

Sorry. I'll catch up with you later.

I've got someplace to go.

Yeah? Well, later then. Don't be too long!

AD 2100... The Cygnulight Plan.

Mission to investigate supergravitational waves...

...originating from the Cygnus system.

Has not returned in the 200 years since.

Current status: Unknown...

Everything began with this.

And now they've come home.

The Evoluder, with forms evolved to the extremes of development.

They developed into a warrior race...

Endlessly destroying and murdering.

And with them, crossing space and time, another me has come.

Orgun has returned home.

Why? Why did they evolve like that?

Why have they returned to Earth?

And what was it that drove Orgun here as well?

This last battle may finally reveal everything to me.

Lady Mhiku, what is your will?

We stand before a mirror.

A mirror which reflects both past and future.

And I see... I see light. Light which one will release.

I see light, light which one will release.

A blinding light.

It will end everything.

It will guide them to a new beginning.

They will cross the stars, and stronger...

...even more tenacious forms will be theirs.

...will be ours, as our endless course continues.

But, now the past stands before us!

We must regain something from our past.

From our past...

Almighty Lady Mhiku! You, who sees all!

What confuses you so?! Give the order!

The order which drives the warriors of the Evoluder!

Orgun... He alone... He alone knows what it is?!

On your motherworld, the Earth...

...what it is we lost?

Lady Mhiku...

Commander!

What?!

- What in? - Impossible!

Mobile bomber team, ready to launch!

Clear us for takeoff!

Red Team, proceed from Alpha-2 to the Battle Planet!

Roger. Now to pay 'em back... With interest!

Course clear. All units, launch!

Mitsurugi, Red Team. Moving out!

Red Team, Delta formation. Follow me!

Roger!

Admiral, all Solid Armor Units have launched.

Preparations for attack are complete.

Excellent.

Damn you, Orgun! You've given them our technology?!

Is that planet so valuable that he'd do this to protect it?!

No, it isn't!

The Earth offers us nothing so precious!

Throw all effort into destroying this world!

Let it be blasted to atoms!

You're going?

The battle's started. If I don't go...

You know what could happen! If you and Orgun link again...

I do!

But, if I go, if I fight with him...

...I'll have all my questions answered.

I'll finally know what drew him to Earth.

And nothing will stop you?

No... NO!

Why do you have to fight?!

If you're trapped in that body, we may never be together again...

Tomoru!

I'm not going to die.

I'm going to make a safe world, for you... and for everyone.

TOMORU!

Don't get in too close! Keep your distance!

Roger!

Where are those SA Units?! We're practically...

Beautiful... The puny resistance of the doomed.

Yes, let it be! Struggle as best you can!

Zoa! Pull our forces back!

We endanger ourselves by interfering with this world!

Lady Mhiku, what are you saying?!

What will destroy us exists on that world.

Exists within the light!

Commander?

All forces, ahead! Smash them and move on!

Prepare Zohma for firing the antimatter cannon!

Begin charging at once!

But, Lady Mhiku...

Ignore her! If this world is so dangerous...

...then for Lady Mhiku's sake we must destroy it at once!

Prof. Kanzaki! Emergency message from I-ZACK!

Main screen!

Professor, the Battle Planet is reconfiguring to fire...

...the antimatter cannon!

Once readied, we will have 704 seconds until it discharges!

You mean?!

It is powerful enough to annihilate the Earth!

Where the hell are our Solid Armor teams?!

What about Mitsurugi in Red Team?!

Shut up!

This is no picnic for us up here! We're barely hanging on!

We're holding our own, but it's tougher than anything!

Commander! Destroyer-class at 12 o'clock!

Wha...?!

My engine unit!

Commander!

Dammit! No time!

What was?!

Orgun...

It's Orgun!

Orgun's come!

Kid...

Report!

P.E.C. Cannon blast!

We've lost shield integrity in one section!

A P.E.C. Cannon?! Can it be?

ORGUN!

Commander, the fortress's shield!

We can get in there!

Kid... You finally found something worth fighting for.

Let's go!

Roger!

Only light... I see only the light!

If there is a God, then Orgun's desertion must have meaning...

I see... Orgun has disrupted everything!

The future... The future is being rewritten!

Sir, please! The supreme commander can't...

Commander!

Commander?

I leave this to you!

Yes sir!

ORGUN!

Zoa?!

ZOA!

ORGUN!!!

490 seconds to cannon discharge!

We're cutting this close. Move it!

Roger!

Report!

Intruder alert! Enemy Solid Armor Units have penetrated!

What?! Get two Detonators up here!

Lady Mhiku must be protected!

Mhiku! Open your eyes!

See the souls which the light scatters apart!

They fight to defend something! To save what they love most!

To defend?! They fight to defend something?!

Something for which they'd sacrifice their lives?!

I don't understand!

Orgun!

No one can change the future, however hard he may try!

No one can stand before Mhiku's will of annihilation!

You're wrong!

I've sensed the true heart within Zohma...

It isn't Evoluder. It's a human soul!

So, you've discovered it. Lady Mhiku...

...of all the Evoluder, whose bodies have changed over time...

...only she retains her original form!

A superhuman life form created for the Cygnulight mission!

A prototype for the Comprehent Project!

Then our omnipotent leader, Lady Mhiku... is your slave?!

Yes!

Mere power isn't enough to control so vital a race as the Evoluder.

Mhiku's precognitive abilities were also necessary.

But I couldn't allow her to remain free.

If she is contaminated by the knowledge of love and compassion...

...then the Evoluder are finished!

Battle without mercy is what sustains us!

Zoa, damn you!

Can you defeat me? The leader of the Evoluder?

Zoa, the mightiest warrior of all?!

You, once a merciless warrior of destruction...

...now contaminated by "love", are no match!

I'll show you, then!

The power that love can give you...

And the limitless potential within all humanity!

Ridiculous!

What?!

Orgun, before I finish you I'll say this!

We wandered an eternity in that endless darkness!

For hundreds, for thousands of years, we sought the light.

And they left us there! No help from Earth ever came!

If they really valued us, as you say...

...then they wouldn't have abandoned us to die!

In all the universe, only power can be trusted!

The heart is NOTHING!

Michi...

What the... A projection?!

Let's go!

Zoa... Avenge us!

Dreadnought II! This is Mitsurugi, Red Team!

Fortress center destroyed! We're pulling out!

Director! Message from the fleet!

"Fortress control center has been destroyed."

They have?!

Did it!

Mission complete. Have all ships pull back...

...and brace for the shockwave when it blows!

- What in?! - Kanzaki, what is it?

An antimatter buildup... It's still functional!

- It's WHAT?! - I-ZACK!

An unexpected situation has arisen.

The cannon's control system has been destroyed...

...but the countdown to discharge continues.

What's causing it, I-ZACK?

A powerful external energy beam is being...

...directed at the fortress from the moon's surface.

Then, if we destroy that...

Impossible. The final firing command has already been sent.

Cannon will discharge in 185 seconds.

There must be something we can do!

If we don't, Earth is!

Orgun's Grand Cruciform Attack could deflect the cannon's shot.

But he needs the sun to use it.

I-ZACK, how long until sunrise for him?

Not for another 25 minutes, I'm afraid.

No other options?!

Tomoru...

Tomoru!

I should be thankful.

Thanks to your meaningless battle...

...I am allowed to cast the final blow myself.

Soon, it will all be over.

Orgun! Orgun! You must get up!

You are Earth's only hope now!

Awaken, Orgun!

Impossible! You still function?! Even without the reactor?

Damn you, don't you know when to die?!

Well then, let me finish you once and for all!

Tomoru... Tomoru!

Return to the atoms, Orgun!

I don't see... The power of the soul...

The potential of this thing called man...

61 seconds to discharge!

- Raise the defense shield! - What good will that do?

Is this our fate?

The Earth...

Orgun!

Orgun! Now is the time to set it loose!

That which will end all, and guide them to a new beginning.

The sacred light!

Light?! Yes, but I need the sun to do that.

It won't be out in time.

Then I'll use all my power, and call the sun to you!

Call it?!

What's happening?

- The sun! - The sun's coming out!

The sun... Tomoru!

You are unharmed, Professor?

I think so. Tell me what happened.

A massive energy blast in satellite orbit...

...met the discharge and annihilated it.

A massive energy blast... Orgun! It was him?

Yes, without a doubt.

And where is he now?

Unknown. He may have been caught in the reaction...

- What the?! - What is it?

It's Orgun! I'm reading his signal!

Currently at 30,000 meters, in freefall.

Estimate touchdown at point 302!

I made it back.

Welcome home.

Is it over?

What's that?!

God dammit, they've got another ace in the hole!

No... Wait!

What's? A person? A human?!

We... We have wandered the universe to seek our future...

...ever since we first left Earth.

I see far into the future, and our people will gain...

...even more powerful forms in which to live.

However...

Our future does not lie here.

Farewell, my motherworld.

They're pulling back from lunar orbit!

Wanderers, with all of space to roam...

Let's go home, guys!

I wonder where they're going.

They're going to continue their eternal evolution.

But now, through Mhiku, they've relearned compassion from us.

Maybe, someday...

They'll truly surpass us.

With intellects that still have room for their humanity.

That's why he came here.

Orgun didn't come just to save Earth...

He came to save his own people as well.

Yeah... Everything important to him was here on Earth.

And now...

Now I begin my own battle.

My battle to protect what I love most...

Let's go!

Wait up!

Gotcha!

Wow, look at it!

It's so big!

Hey, where'd Mamoru go?

He was just here.

Hey! Mamoru! Mamoru!

Where are you?!

Welcome home at last, my friend.

To those days in the forest.

Welcome home at last, my friend.

To the story of your life.

The leaves above gently sway...

The soft song that the wind plays.

Words that have been here a thousand years...

Traveling from the past to what's yet to be.

Welcome home at last, my friend.

If you should ever forget...

...the shadow paintings of the trees.

I'll be here to show you how to soar in the sky.

In the cliff as it wears away, and in the mirror of the stream...

One by one they all seem to hold your form inside.

It all becomes a part of me...

It all becomes a part of me.

The leaves above gently sway...

The soft song that the wind plays.

Words that have been here a thousand years.

Traveling from the past to what's yet to be...

Welcome home at last, my friend.
