In 2076, the rich escaped to the sky.

The monsters inherited the surface.

[music] Down here, you run to stay alive

for one more minute.

[panting and sighs]

Heat.

Heat.

Heat. Heat.

[screaming]

Ah,

Hey, [gasps]

[groaning]

before After impact, people argued about

countries, borders, money. [music] After

it, the world became simpler.

The rich [music] went up. The monsters

took the surface.

The machines were [music] built to

protect us. Most of them died before

they learned who us.

and the rest of us hid behind walls.

Wall cities. [music] That's what they

called them.

They were not homes. [music] They were

cages big enough to pretend we were

safe.

>> Hello, boss. Bring back anything good

today?

>> Sure. Mud, bruises, and a very expensive

bad mood.

You're bleeding again.

>> Good morning to you, too.

>> One day, you're going to come back in

two pieces.

>> Then charge me half.

>> You know, you can ask me to go with you.

>> I need someone alive to fix what I drag

back.

>> [music]

>> I'm going to get you to Aram. They're

going to help you. [music] We'll beat

this blood cancer.

[music]

>> [panting]

[snorts]

>> Milo,

come on, little star. Breathe. [snorts]

I stopped trying to bring the sky down

to Milo. I decided to take Milo to the

sky.

Storm's

>> So are the bills.

That's not a meteor shower.

>> Well, you fell from heaven [music]

and heaven threw you away.

[groaning]

Heat.

Heat.

Open the gate.

>> What the hell did you bring home?

>> A problem with legs and one missing arm.

>> That's has no mean real armchech. Not

trash, not shell pieces. This thing was

inside the city.

>> Can you fix it?

>> Can you stop asking questions that

should get us executed? Milo, fine. But

if it wakes up and kills me, I'm

haunting you.

>> You already do.

>> His name is Max.

>> Don't name things that might not wake

up.

>> Maybe that's why they don't.

that storm cloud.

>> For one breath, Haven believed it had

won.

But the cloud did not move.

Above us, Orim shines like heaven.

Down here, heaven has walls.

And Orim calls that protection.

>> You saved the wall again. But look at

this jacket. Completely murdered. The

jacket died with honor.

Then bury it properly.

You broke another cannon. I'm not fixing

it.

>> Good. I broke three.

>> That was a joke.

>> So was mine.

>> He alive.

>> Define the fine. alive.

mostly.

>> How do we get Milo to Aver?

>> Modern routes are sealed, but Guardian

emergency codes predate the Aver

lockdown.

>> So, Aver forgot one door.

>> No, they buried it. Those codes were

buried with the giants.

>> Yes.

>> Then we dig

>> Yes.

Don't move.

Run.

>> Hold on. [screaming]

Hold your breath.

Max

>> guardian class.

>> That thing walks.

>> It used to carry cities.

This thing needs a doctor.

>> I am a doctor.

>> Then your patient is very dead.

>> Not dead. Waiting.

>> Guardian archives are black boxes. Every

evacuation command was recorded.

>> So, this thing remembers who closed the

door.

>> Yes.

>> Before the storm, people still believed

the world was broken in ways we could

repair.

They poisoned the oceans,

drilled deeper, dug harder.

Massive sink holes have opened along

multiple coastal regions.

>> [screaming]

>> At first they called them sink holes,

then pressure vents, then seismic

wounds.

By the third day they stopped naming

them.

They climbed out from under us.

The coastlines died first,

then the low cities,

then the roads.

[music]

The rich did not escape the end.

>> They scheduled it.

Surface evacuation capacity remains

available.

Our

own command sealed the ascent gates.

>> The rest of us ran inland up into the

mountains from a mountain behind

concrete behind scrap behind anything

tall enough to make [music] death climb.

We called it haven.

A safe zone and a prison.

Civilian rescue route available.

Aerob command overro denied. Guardian

units are to protect ascent towers only.

>> [gasps]

>> It didn't start in the sky.

>> No,

>> but they knew.

>> They built a Uran before the first gate

closed.

>> They chose who Earth was allowed to

keep.

>> Guardian core is fractured, but the

spinal relays remain.

>> Translate.

>> If we wake the spine, the body may

follow.

>> See, you can be romantic. I cannot.

Everyone away from the gate.

It's core open, but it's its full

weight. [music]

>> Then we make a commit.

Max, THE CORE IS PEAKING. WE HAVE TO

HOLD IT.

>> If that beam breaks through, Guardian

and Haven will shatter. We have one

reserve burst. Use it and Milo loses his

chance at Oram.

>> [cough]

>> I'll get you to RM. I promise.

>> Haven will go with it. One reserve burst

remains.

>> Use it.

Heat.

Heat.

Hello, I am Gemini. The guardian you are

controlling is running out of energy.

>> Gemini, can we recharge the guardian?

>> I'm sorry, Nova. The energy core is

critically damaged. There is no way to

recharge it.

>> I want to reach Avar. Is there any other

way?

There is one last path

through the dead zone.

The path is not safe, but it is the only

way.

My reserve core. My last heart. Put it

in the boy. He will need more than fear

to protect her.

Core integration accepted.

The coordinates will lead you to the

base.

Go

before I close.

>> Nova, this is Guardian architecture.

It was one of them. [music]

I don't know what changed it.

>> This may tell us why the guardian was

transformed. Keep it safe.

You okay? Are you hurt?

>> I'm okay.

>> Did you take a shower? You look

annoyingly handsome.

Upgrade.

>> [cheering]

[panting]

>> Is Milo okay?

>> He's okay. Go check on him.

>> I thought you weren't coming.

>> I promised I'd come back. I found a

secret map to Aren. We're going to get

the medicine that can help you.

The damage [music] is more severe than

initial scans indicated. We must act

immediately.

>> [music]

>> Oh, Max,

did [music] you get a new outfit?

>> Upgrade.

You have to keep him safe [music] no

matter what.

Mass movement fast.

Why is that?

This isn't on Japanese map.

The map points northeast [music] and a

remisscent corridor.

>> We're not following him.

[music]

>> That's a rem.

>> The route leads directly to it.

The ascent [music] corridor terminates

inside that mountain. Of course it does.

>> Maintenance access.

>> Can any of this still move?

>> Only if the control gate survived.

The gate is across the cavern.

He He entered all of this for someone.

Those are wedding dresses.

The sizes match. Every piece was chosen

for one woman. This isn't treasure. It's

a life he never finished. [music]

Why would a giant collected this?

[groaning]

Heat.

Heat.

>> [music]

>> All of this and that is what he holds.

This should not be on Earth.

[music] Don't activate it. The frame

links directly to the motor cortex. Aram

can override the wearer. You'd be awake

while someone else [music] moved your

body.

Well, well, what crawled into my home? A

broken piece of sky scrape [music]

and a groundborn thief digging through a

grave.

Put her down. The last Skyborn who came

for her died where you kneel. That armor

remembers someone. You do not deserve

her memory.

>> We'll return [music] the box and leave.

>> Skyborn always say they came to save

something. Then they take whatever still

remembers them. No one takes her again.

[music]

Was

that the attack,

Max?

Oh,

[music]

then don't let me disappear.

[music]

Neurolink established.

>> Rose,

>> my name is Nova.

>> Take her light off.

[music]

Heat. Heat.

[groaning]

>> [groaning and screaming]

[music]

>> Okay,

that was new. But

Max, I have a plan.

Heat. Heat.

[groaning and screaming]

Rose, [groaning]

>> my name is Nova.

>> I know. Another

guardian arc.

It was one of them. I don't know what

changed it.

>> This may [music] tell us why the

guardian was transformed. Keep it safe.

>> Who are you?

My name was Jack.

[music]

>> Temporary. The real one will have

diamonds.

>> Enough to embarrass the stars.

>> One last descent, then I bring you

[music] the dress.

>> Don't promise me a wedding.

Promise you'll come home

>> both.

>> Come back to me.

>> Always.

[music]

>> Objective. Recover a living colossus DNA

sample.

>> First descent. Move.

[music]

Hold formation,

Jack. Take it.

No.

Sample secured.

>> Don't lose the sample.

>> His organs are failing.

>> He won't survive another hour.

>> Then use the Colossus DNA. It has

[music] never been tested on a human.

>> It will be now.

[music]

[screaming]

[music]

Regeneration [music] confirmed.

>> It worked.

[screaming]

Get out of my ass.

>> Target confirmed. Giant class mutation.

His name is Jack.

[sighs]

Jack.

>> He is no longer Jack.

>> Then you never knew Jack.

>> Stop attacking him.

This may restore his mind only if Jack

is still inside. But the mutation is

permanent.

>> I don't need his old body back. I need

him.

[groaning]

>> You promised you'd come home. I'm not

letting go of that. [screaming]

>> JACK, YOU PROMISED YOU'D ALWAYS FIND

YOUR WAY back to me.

I'm still here.

[sighs]

What did I do?

>> You came back. That's all I ever asked.

[snorts]

The serum restored his mind but

accelerated the mutation.

>> THE STRUCTURE IS COLLAPSING. BRING HIM

DOWN NOW. [panting]

>> Don't fight them.

>> I'm getting you out.

Jack,

>> hold on to me.

>> Rose, stay with me. Now, let me bring

you back.

Max, that isn't me. [snorts]

>> The serif link has been open too long. A

Vam can trace it.

>> Just trace it.

>> No. Given enough time, it can rewrite

the pilot.

>> Link severed

>> probably.

Is there another way into Orin?

>> The sky road is closed.

But the sea road still breathes.

Cross the salt wastess.

Find the glass coast.

The NKI live beneath it. Those aam tried

to drown and erase.

Beyond them are the Veyer, the

Stormclans who hunt anything that flies.

>> Scale and Claw must agree before the

passage opens.

>> And they cooperate often.

>> Never.

>> It is not a route. It is a living

current.

>> [music]

>> Why did you never use it?

>> Some doors are better left closed.

>> What opens it?

>> That opens it.

>> The object we remove because it can

betray us.

>> Every road back to Aram demands a price.

>> If we reach Aram, what do you want?

>> Find Rose's archived file. Make them

record that she refused the Sarah

program.

>> Aram system. Sarah pilot received.

>> Nova, drop the core.

>> I can't.

>> Then the hunt has already [music] begun.

The sky has touched the sea.

Bring me the skybearer alive.
