[NARRATOR] There was darkness and silence

And then, there was the event

another beginning.

[dramatic score]

Earth perceived the event and finally solved the puzzle,

which availed the power of black holes

to be harvested for intergalactic travel.

In time, humans established living

colonies across the universe

through a portal they named: HEAVENS.

Despite having powerful minerals and

advanced resources from different planets,

Earth still holds the key resource to life

water.

And the Second Great War began

when the Empire of Mars attacked Mother Earth.

For whosoever controls water, controls the colonies

across the Heavens.

[Kai's Dad] I got you, Squad Five.

[Pilot 01] Thanks, Captain.

A larger Mars Mega Battalion is coming through Heavens.

And all our comms with Earth are jammed.

[Kai's Dad] Squad Five, bring this message straight to Earth!

Evacuate all families from Earth Base One right now!

And mobilize all MechaCorps Units, ready for my command!

[Pilot 01] Yes, Captain! Going straight

to SkyCorps Earth to relay the...

[BASE] Attention. Evacuate all civilians from Sector 16.

Dear

Kai Kai

[Admiral] Attention all Earth forces,

if you can hear me, this is Earth Admiral speaking

We will hold the Mars forces as long as we can.

Let's give everyone a fighting chance to be safe.

So take up your full armor. Stand your ground.

Be strong and courageous right now.

God speed.

[EO-One] Captain, the evacuation base is no more.

[Kai's Dad] Go for Mothership C-21. I'll be close behind.

Yes, sir! Hold tight!

[score intensifies]

Go after that Earth Ship.

We need some hostages, alive.

[EO-One] Captain! We're taking fire!

Four enemy Scorions on us!

Captain! Do you hear us?

Captain! Enemy Scorions still on our tail!

Captain! Do you read me?

Captain! Behind you!

[Kai's Dad] Heavenly Typhoon Strike!

All safe and clear, sir!

Got it, EO-One.

I'll catch you later.

Uhh!

MechaCorps Frontier Squad, stand with me!

Let's send the Mars Mega Battalion, back home!

[car driving]

My Little Kai,

I remember the day I received that letter.

You were so young then,

[dramatic score]

I didn't think that you would understand.

But I need you to understand,

you were the reason your Dad wanted to end the war.

Now, it's Mummy's turn.

I'm being sent to Saturn to help out in the war.

Even though I'll only be away for a year,

it isn't easy for me to leave you behind.

No matter how far apart we are in the cosmos,

I'll always keep you near in my heart.

I don't expect you to fully understand

and only hope that you'll believe.

You must believe!

I will come back to you.

While you're with your foster family, be good for Mummy!

They're very kind people

and your Dad's esteemed old friends.

Whenever you're afraid

remember that your Dad's still watching over the Earth.

Whenever you're lonely

imagine your Dad as a star watching over you.

Remember that Mummy loves you.

Mummy, you really shouldn't have left.

Your leaving me, compared to

Dad's, was a hundred times harder.

Because right now, I can still see Dad in the sky.

But, Mummy, you didn't even leave a shadow behind.

But don't worry,

I'll be good.

I'll wait for you to return

and try to be happy in the meantime.

[in English] Woah off it goes!

It just doesn't work!

I think I have an idea

We'll build pipes around a bike

to create a fertilizer machine that he can drive around.

[clapping]

[rocket engines firing]

[engines sputtering]

Kai!

Kai!

[crashing sound]

[door rattling]

[beeping sounds]

There's another way to get to Space.

When you grow up, come to this place instead.

Mummy, I had a small accident today.

Luckily, Foster Dad's friend was around and rescued me.

I tried to get to you, but it didn't work out.

But don't worry! I've got another plan!

[dramatic score]

Mum, today, I can finally carry out

my greatest and ultimate plan.

I'm taking the MechaCorps entry exam.

We've received news

that your fleet never reached Saturn.

However, even after all these years,

I still believe you're somewhere in the universe.

[labored breathing]

I'll be flying across the Heavens to save you soon.

Wish me luck!

[playful music]

[groaning]

[in English] Hold it!

Lift it! Hold it!

[yelling]

[girls laughing]

Got it?

Pull it!

Come on, Kai!

Push it!

Come on, you can do it!

You can do it, uso!

You can do it! Be strong!

I made the cut!

I'll be leaving the countryside for the academy next week.

Mum, I've no idea

if you've received all I had ever written.

If you do, please know that you are much needed here.

Not just for my sake, but for the sake of this world.

Because we've just received news

that the rulers of Mars might launch more attacks

to control Earth's water supply.

In any case, I've already made up my mind

to be like the both of you and do my part,

so that the children in this world

will never need to grow up for war.

To be honest, I am very scared.

I'm afraid that before I can find you,

this war would

[Sergeant barking orders]

would tear us further apart or separate us forever.

Whenever you're afraid

remember that your Dad's still watching over the Earth.

Kai.

[in English] Yes, sir!

You barely passed your physical test.

However, your theory test scores are

the highest that we've ever seen.

If your father were still alive today,

I believe he would be proud of you.

Do your best!

Welcome to MechaCorps Earth Academy.

Thank you, sir!

Mum, I'm back at the base from my childhood.

Everything feels almost the same

it's just missing you

But don't worry, I won't let this bog me down.

Besides, my training mates are pretty interesting.

Waye, is the most competitive one.

In his world, he has to be number one.

Second place is not an option.

[in English] One!

[tense music]

One!

Waye is extremely serious

and excels at everything

but his hygiene "regiments" can be a little too much.

Ean has the most cheerful personality.

No matter the challenge,

he faces it all with a song and a smile upon his face.

He is like our resident psychiatrist

[in English] You want some more?

and always has the right candy to cure any problem.

Ren may seem a bit weird.

Sometimes, I suspect the guy has got more issues than me.

But his multitasking capabilities are insane!

[video game sounds]

[grunts]

His temper is also insane.

[screaming]

[grunting]

Rock is my best bud.

He looks intimidating

but he's really

gentle at heart.

Beep beep!

[speaking Gibberish]

Wow-wow.

Oh, he loves to tell jokes too

[loud laughter]

Uh?

it's just that no one gets them.

Wow, I think we got the fiercest Sergeant Major

in all history!

What's with that hanger? Can't find it? Can't find it, huh?

[in English] One!

One what...

Okay, that's a one. Need help to change? Huh?

[in English] Whole lot, knock it down! MechaCorps!

In all my years in MechaCorps,

I've never seen anything this slow!

You're slow when you walk! Slow when you sleep!

Especially you! Brush properly!

[in English] Stop!

One!

One, my foot!

But I think, the Sergeant Major

kind of likes me.

Why so shy? I can't hear you.

Little Boy!

[in English] Yes, Sergeant Major!

I'm the youngest one here.

Even though the training is tough

Don't slack off just because you're ahead!

I think I still can manage it.

Faster! Go faster!

Faster! Faster!

So Mum, if you're reading this letter,

you seriously don't have to worry about me.

[in English] [Sergeant Major] Lights off!

I'm fine and everything is great.

Err really great.

Day by day

One!

the days pass swiftly by.

Every day is fulfilling

and carefree

[in English] Yes, Sergeant Major!

-Yes, Sergeant Major. -One!

I asked for soldiers but they sent me boy scouts.

No matter

you better prove yourself worthy of MechaCorps!

Or else

I'll kick you back to kindergarten!

Hear me?

[boots stomping] [in English] Yes, Sergeant Major!

You found that scary, huh?

[tense music]

Now, this will scare you.

Right!

When you're in your Mecha,

the take-off and landing will create such a G-Force

that even fighter pilots can't handle.

This simulator lets you experience

the momentum inside your Mecha.

Alright! Who wants to go first?

Quiet! Is this an amusement park?

Waye!

Always number one? You're up first.

Don't want to.

Ah?

Sergeant Major, I I can go...

Rock, you're up!

[shouting excitedly]

[screaming]

[retching]

[shaky breathing]

Okay! If you want to hit your fullest potential,

you must train with your Mecha to

think,

move,

fight,

eat,

bathe

and even sleep

in perfect harmony!

Sergeant Major, what should we do?

He's just too weak.

Do me a favor, just assign him

the smallest Mecha parts.

You're not helping him. This will do him more harm.

Your Mecha will be built according

to your mind and body strength.

[score intensifies]

The stronger you are, the stronger your Mecha will be.

Thus, your Mecha's potential is linked to yours.

For the last time, is this worth it?

Little Boy, once the Design Engineers are done,

report to the Mecha Hangar

and meet your Mecha.

[in English] Yes, Sergeant Major!

[INTERCOM] Doors closing.

Today's Captain's words of wisdom.

A baboon can speak no poems, and write no haikus.

But you can! Waste not your life today.

Level Six.

You have reached Hangar EO-Fighters, Med Labs, Canteen.

Canteen Announcement. Meal of the day is:

Chili Crab Tapioca Vermicelli, slow-cooked over...

-Hey! Hey! -... chicken and scallop broth,

overlaid with a touch of coriander.

Young ginger slices with a tickle of rice wine.

Fermented with sesame seeds and fragrant chili oil

and brought to a double-boil in a claypot wrapped,

covered, and heated over soft mud for two days.

Attention. Canteen announcement.

Chili Crab Tapioca Vermicelli...

Sold out. I repeat, sold out.

[inspirational music]

[score intensifies]

Hi!

Hi Hi Hello!

Nice to meet you!

That's my Mecha!

My Mecha!

I've never seen such a weak Mecha before!

The stronger you get, the stronger your Mecha will be.

Do your best!

We will be strong!

Mmm hmmmm

We'll get stronger!

We'll get stronger!

[in English] Wonderful!

Listen up!

Right! Listen carefully.

The orienteering test is about to start!

This test isn't just about orienteering skills,

it's also about survival skills.

[playful score]

In 15 minutes, helicrafts will take

you to your individual start points.

From there, you and your Mecha

will have 24 hours to reach your objective.

If you manage to reach your objective,

your Mecha's cockpit will unlock.

Integration with your Mecha will then be complete.

[in English] Understand?

Yes, Sergeant!

Then move out!

I hope to see you at the finish

line, and don't forget to feed yourselves!

All's good.

We just need to trek out of here

cross that mountain, and we'll be back at base.

Alright.

Let's get going.

Are you really sure?

Of course!

The countryside is the place I know best!

Okay

Strange! I was certain the map showed this as an ocean

Mmm hmmmm

That Mecha looks familiar

Of course, we're walking past it for the fifth time

Kai, you've been fishing all day and

haven't caught a thing! Let me do it!

Shhhh!

Hey, there's one here!

Over there!

Quick! In front of you!

Er, there's still one fish behind you...

Shhhh!

Shhhh!

A beehive!

If the bees aren't home

we can get some honey.

[screaming]

[bees swarming]

We've reached the objective!

Quick, get in!

[inspirational score]

I've been waiting so long for this day.

[in English] [CONTROL POD] Aero action unlocked.

Hey, your engines sound just like a dragon!

[in English] Name your Mecha.

Please, don't mess this up for me.

Since everyone calls me Little Boy

I guess I'll call you

Little Dragon.

Alright, Little Dragon. Take us back to base!

Alright! Hold tight!

Hold tight?

[heavy breathing]

Not too bad at all, Little Boy.

[retching]

[woman shrieks]

Little Boy!

Kai, why are my cannons so small?

How is that small?

They're the same size as all other Mecha.

The same? Have you seen Rock's?

[screaming]

[screaming in unison]

Rock is kind of different.

Since you're just like me

your cannons will be cute!

Cute?

Yeah, of course!

If you're like me, of course you'd be cute.

I'm cute?

Aim before you shoot!

Don't shoot randomly! Even my

grandfather can shoot better than

you with his eyes closed! What are you shooting at?

Hey! Not bad! Not bad!

And you I won't waste my breath!

I should call my grandfather down to replace all of you!

Hey Little Boy

Shoot higher! Shoot higher! There's

one there! One down there! Over there!

Useless! Can't even hit one? Knock it down!

[in English] Yes, Sergeant Major.

Are all of you useless?

You can't hit a thing! How are you going to hit the enemy?

[in English] Hello!

Why are you so useless? Huh?

Put in some strength!

[in English] Whole lot knock it down!

-Yes, Sergeant Major! -Yes, Sergeant Major!

Hurry!

[in English] Down.

One.

Down.

Two.

You! Can't even handle a few push-ups?

[in English] No, Sergeant Major!

How can you handle your Mecha?

[in English] Where's your timing?

Why are you always slower than everyone else? Huh?

I'm not in a good mood. You

better run faster than that! Huh!

[inaudible]

Keep running! Don't stop!

Keep running!

It's the same scene every day. You

standing here, me scolding you.

Aren't you tired of this? Huh?

All my time is just spent scolding you every single day.

I can't even find time to scold

anyone else! Why is it always you?

Huh?

Answer me!

[in English] Yes, Sergeant Major!

[in English] Yes, Sergeant Major!

[in English] Yes, Sergeant Major!

[in English] Yes, Sergeant Major!

[inaudible]

Yes, Sergeant Major!

What a big mess! What's this? Huh?

Eating bananas in your bunk? You're driving me bananas!

You know it's a stand-by-bed but it's still a mess!

Everything is a mess!

[in English] Always you!

It's always you, you know!

Little Boy!

Yes, Sergeant Major! I'm on my way back...

-Stop! -Little Dragon, stop!

Listen carefully. Recalibrate and

take another route back to camp.

-Little Dragon? -Got it!

[tense music]

[in English] [BASE] This is the final boarding call

for all troops assigned to Man-O-One Dropship-B

-Wait up! -... heading to the Red Sea.

Please board immediately.

Oh man!

There goes my ride.

Kai.

Wait here for me. I'm going to report inside.

Got it!

Eh?

Eh?

Yeah!

Sergeant Major, what's going on?

Kai, your incompetence saved you this time around!

The forces from Mars sprung an attack.

If you had taken off with your fellow trainees,

you'd be trapped with them now,

hiding at the edge of the war zone.

Hopefully we'll rescue them

before the Mars forces discover them.

Let us rescue them now!

There's no us, it's just me!

You can't even fire a gun! Don't cause more trouble!

Sergeant Major, I can do this!

[in English] That's the spirit, little one!

Sarge! I've got orders from the Captain!

Gotta bring the bomb to the belly of the beast!

And Sarge, I've activated the bomb. We've got 40 minutes.

Sir, shouldn't you activate

the bomb only after reaching the objective?

Uhhhhhh

Uhhhhhh

[in English] Let's just move on.

We are gonna get this bomby baby to the Captain, right now!

Stop sprouting nonsense, he's totally not ready for battle!

[in English] You know, we need all the help we got.

Sergeant Major

Alright, we'll rescue my trainees

first, then get the bomb to the Captain.

What's your plan to get there?

Uhhhh

[thumping sound]

[in English] Alright, little one!

I'm ready!

[CONTROL POD] Extra load.

Lieutenant Jin on board. Very extra

Little Boy, follow the map to the edge of the war zone.

I'll follow close behind. Understand?

Understand?!

Yes, Sergeant Major!

-Little Dragon! -Kai!

We can do this!

Mmh!

[in English] Come on, guys! Getting late for the party!

Little Boy!

[in English] Yes, Sergeant Major!

Oh wait! My power boots aren't fully on yet.

Just gimme a minute more to-- [screaming]

Mamaaaa!

[BASE] Attention, Sergeant Major.

Mecha ready for launch.

Sir! We're approaching enemy target.

[Lieutenant Jin] Great, little one!

Take cover in the cotton candy.

Wait for Sarge and stay away from the action.

[Kai] Yes, sir!

Sir, my friends are trapped right below us.

[Lieutenant Jin] Woah look at the size of that beast.

What's it doing?

It's vaporizing our water and taking

the beverage back to thirsty Mars.

Sir, how long do we have?

About 20 minutes.

Keep us under the radar for now.

Uh, Sir, what does it mean to

have red things coming towards us?

It means

the action is coming to us, baby!

Sock them baby! Sock them hard!

Huh?

Shoot them!

Yes, sir!

Quit the posing and start the firing!

Yes, sir!

Amazing! How did you graduate, son?

Sir, I haven't!

Well, get ready to be power schooled.

Lesson one. Stay very still...

For these cheesy babies are always

right behind you!

Boy! Dive to the floor.

Now!

Yes, sir!

[screaming]

Kai, stay where you are! Sir, give me two minutes!

[in English] [Lieutenant Jin] Nah, I'm gonna make my way

to the beasty baby!

Yah!

Power land!

And it's time for power

run!

Yes!

And here comes power

Sergeant Major, where are you?

I'm right here!

[in English] That's my Mister Sarge! Haha!

Sarge! Bomb!

10 minutes left!

[in English] Haha! Got it!

Wooo!

Trainees! Regroup with Kai, now!

Stay calm. I'm covering you.

[in English] [Trainees] Yes, Sergeant Major!

Safety off! Aim and fire!

[in English] Yes, Sergeant Major!

Please aim before shooting!

Stop shooting at our own forces!

Oops, sorry!

Yep, that ain't no bomb, but should destroy its shield.

Hey! Little Boy!

Look how you've grown.

I'll see you around.

Little Boy! Return to base, and report straight to me!

Little Boy! Did you not hear my orders?

Did I ask you to charge?

Did you think you know better? Look at me!

Are you the Sergeant Major, or am I the Sergeant Major?

What kind of soldier are you? You

can't even follow orders! Huh?

Sir, this isn't the first time!

If you're going to be like this, you might as well scram home!

Kai.

Kai!

I've been thinking

have I been too harsh?

I mean

I was just trying to encourage him.

I didn't think that

he'd really leave like that.

Remember those days, when we were just like that?

Remember when you were just like that?

If Kai wasn't like that

would the both of you still be here like this?

Hmm?

Oh, Sergeant Major!

That toilet needs to be checked.

Yes!

Go, bring him back.

Hey, aren't you giving up too easily?

So what if I am?

I was never good enough.

Who was I kidding anyway?

I'm always the one who messes up! Dragging you down!

I'll just stick to being a farmer.

I wouldn't be able to see you

Of course, just look at Rock!

Today's Captain's words of wisdom.

A llama asked a camel if he was a llama like him.

And the camel asked the llama if he was a camel like him.

And so they looked, they saw, and they left,

with no words, with no regrets.

My little friends, you've made it this far

was it because of your abilities?

Or because of pure luck?

Or because of my misfortune.

Whatever the reason, welcome to the final exam.

Whether you belong with the MechaCorps

or belong to a kindergarten,

will be decided by you and your Mecha's performance today!

[in English] Yes, Sergeant Major!

This exam will test the strength of you and your Mecha's bond.

I'll repeat your exam mission once again.

Firstly. You'll free fall from a

helicraft without additional oxygen.

Little Dragon, let's give this a try!

Alright! I'm ready!

Alright, here I come!

[whistling sound]

[screaming]

Secondly. While free falling,

connect with, and enter your Mecha.

Let's go again!

[whistling sound]

[in English] Sorry!

Thirdly. Pilot your Mecha to the target and destroy it!

[screaming]

[groans of pain]

Have you signaled? Uh?

Finally, if you succeed in all three tasks,

I hope you'll not fail to return to base in one piece.

Any questions?

No, Sergeant Major!

All the best. Move out!

Resume comms after exam, please.

Uhm. Weather is expected to be cloudy,

Good luck and uh, Base out.

Okay!
