"My Daddy", by Takaya Noriko 4th class, 3rd year.

I think my daddy is a great man.

My daddy's job is to protect the earth in outer space.

My daddy's ship is the fastest in the universe.

My daddy is proud of his ship.

My daddy is the captain of the space battle ship "Luxion."

Like my daddy, I want to be a space pilot, and go into space with him.

December 20th, 2015, cloudy and rainy.

My father has died.

Precisely speaking, he died on December 19th.

My father's space ship was attacked by cosmic monsters in deep space.

Although I know he died, I don't actually feel his death.

I feel like he is still alive somewhere in space.

I will go to space where my father is. I will become a space pilot !

Aim for the Top !

Following you, I run up the hill.

Passing by the burning sun.

Jumping far, I catch up to you and feel the warmth of your body.

Running in the wind is so pleasant.

With great hopes, and great ambition.

High High High High !

I want to be embraced, gently.

The distance between us is nearing zero.

I love you !

:02:57.89 0:03:02.09 CF15VP256 No way ! Big Sister and I, space pilots? !

Oh, Kimiko.

What's with that blank look?

Ah, Onee-Sama, eh?

Yes, my wonderful 'big sister'. I want to be just like her !

But that'll never happen. I don't have nearly enough talent.

Why do you say that? We've only been training for one month.

But we're making progress !

How's Virgo this week?

The 6th will be a lucky day. You will meet someone special.

I see.

Cheer up already !

The next class is machine practice. The entire school is going to be there.

The new coach is expected to come.

Now, let's change clothes and get ready for practice !

Alright.

188, 189, 190, 191,

192, 193, 194, 195,

196, 197, 198, 199,

200 !

You're in great shape, so why are you so bad at piloting the machines?

I'm not good at mechanical things.

Doing multiple things at once,

...watching the monitor while moving hands and legs, I just can't do it all !

Oh, you're too smooth !

Training yourself by jumping rope, eh?

Ignore them !

I'm used it.

I suppose you think you're special because you're that admiral's daughter !

You just in a class by yourself. We're SO jealous !

It's obvious you intend to take advantage of your connections to get yourself selected.

How rude ! I'll do it on my own.

Is that so? eh??

Stop that !

Onee-Sama !

In order to become a pilot, you must have a pilot's pride !

Excuse us !

Takaya Noriko-San ?

Yes !

You're Admiral Takaya's daughter, aren't you?

How sad it must have been. Has it been hard for you?

Well, I suppose I've gotten over it.

When piloting the machine, pay attention to the six balancers and the feedback from your arms and legs. If you can handle that, you'll be fine.

But that's just too much !

How can you pay attention to the monitor too?

Well, I watch and evaluate, but then I realize that my body is reacting for me.

Wow ! You must be very talanted !

No, that's not it, Takaya-San.

I've worked very hard to get where I am today.

Work... so you have the talent to work hard?

When I operated a machine for the first time, I fell too.

So, starting the next day, I made an effort not to fall.

If you're willing to work hard, you can do it !

Eh? Really?

Oh, your hair must get in your way a bit.

Here, take this.

really..?

Please do your best, Takaya-San.

Y..yes !

No reaction...

Kimiko, how's Virgo this week?

The 6th is a lucky day. You will meet someone special.

It's true ! Today is the best day of my life !

Dress right !

At ease.

It's been six years since the tragedy of Luxion,

...and five years since we started the world-wide project "Operation RX" to attack the cosmic monsters.

Two male students have already been appointed to the project.

Onee-Sama is certain to be appointed from our school.

Yes. The question is, who will be the other?

Since all the students are candidates, even we have a chance.

If I went to space with Onee-Sama, I could die !

Stupid ! That's impossible !

Surely they'll appoint Kashiwara-San. She's a upperclassman too.

I hear that the new coach is a commander, and that he came here just for the project !

ssh ! The coach !

I am your new machine controls coach, Ota !

Those who cannot learn will be dismissed !

To begin with, I'm switching off the automatic balancer.

I won't allow you to use it from now on.

In actual battle conditions, manual operation is fundamental.

Those who are unable to balance by themselves will recieve the classroom lectures again !

Now, 50 laps around the grounds !

Run !

Let's hear it !

fight ! fight ! fight ! fight !

Umm... how... how do you make it run?

Like this?

You ! Get out of the machine !

Run the 50 laps on your own feet !

It's time to go home.

Any students still in the building are strongly recommended to go home immediately.

Noriko, Noriko, It's time to go home. Don't fall asleep here !

It's no use... I can't move.

That's because you really ran the 50 laps !

Now, change clothes and go home !

Hello?

What? ! I did? !

appointed as ensigns

Amano

Kazumi

Takaya

Noriko

Takaya

Noriko

See?

It's true...

It's that girl. I hear her father was the admiral of the obliterated fleet.

Then she took advantage of connections?

No doubt ! She's completely hopeless.

The coach always treated her differently.

Did she do something with the coach?

The Daughter of Defeat dared do that, in order to be with Onee-Sama?

I feel sorry for Onee-Sama, getting stuck with the Daughter of Defeat.

Here you go.

What was he thinking...?

What were you thinking? !

That girl is a beginner who's been practicing machine control for only one month !

I recommend the third year student, Kashiwara-San.

She's the daughter of Admiral Takaya, isn't she?

I am a survivor of the Admiral's ship, the Luxion.

So that's why you picked her...

Silence !

Listen. This project is more important than you think.

The future of all humanity depends on it.

Then why?

It is my responsibility.

She may have that potential to do it.

Do what?

Pilot the Buster Machine. You will see when you go into space.

Coach is a survivor of my father's ship...

So what will you do now, Noriko?

Onee-Sama hates me now...

All students are against me, saying I took advantage of my connections...

This is hopeless ! The worst !

This week's Virgo: Watch out for misunderstandings and troubles.

Anyway, since you've been appointed, you'd better practice machine control.

You're right.

Hang in there...

Ouch !

What's the matter?

I can't... I can't take it !

Coach ! Please leave me alone !

Because I selected you? Why do you think I'm persecuting you?

I have no talent, no future as a space pilot. It's impossible !

Everyone says I was only appointed because of my family.

And Amano will be my partner !

It's too harsh... cruel !

Is it all that you have to say?

You say Amano has the talent you don't have.

Follow me !

Look !

That's the will you lack !

Onee-Sama is training with iron shoes !

She does indeed have talent.

But that talent is created by her effort.

Yes, in order to improve, I exert the necessary effort.

You do indeed lack talent. But only because you lack the will.

But you do have the natural potential. That is why I selected you.

Listen to me, Takaya. You must work hard, reach your potential !

Don't ask for help. Perceive with your own body ! Think with your own brain ! Decide with your own heart !

In space, depend on no one !

Coach !

Go into space with Amano !

There is something you must do there !

I thought she would've given up by now, but she still hasn't !

She's doing pretty well too.

She's gotten better at basic operations.

Of course she is, since Coach is always training her.

Coach! In what way am I inferior to Takaya-San?

Please answer me, Coach !

No need.

Coach !

You should stop.

Don't act dishonorably, Kashiwara-San.

Congratulations on your promotion, Takaya-San.

You'll be leaving tomorrow, won't you?

Before you leave, please meet me after class.

ok...

Be sure to bring your machine with.

I expected you to give up before leaving, but you didn't !

If you won't give up, I'll make you give up !

Here I come, Daughter of Defeat !

9.7, 8.5, uhmm... uhh...

You can't even think about fighting ! Running is hardest thing you can do !

Show..

Show.. your..

Show.. your.. skill..

Show.. your.. skill.. to..

Show.. your.. skill.. to.. everyone..

Show.. your.. skill.. to.. everyone.. here !

Noriko, Noriko, are you alright?

Coach, please stop them !

It's impossible ! It's too much for Noriko !

What are you talking about !? Actual battles are much more intense than this !

She's right.

No matter how many others would give up, I wouldn't !

Coach, Coach, what'll I do, Coach? !

Don't ask for help. Perceive with your own body ! Decide with your own heart !

That's it ! I'm paying too much attention to the monitor.

I'll try it !

Monitor off?

What is she doing? !

You.. you.. you're making fun of me !

Time to end this !

Triangle Punch !

Now !

Sh... she jumped !

Is that...? !

Lightning Kick ! !

I lost...

That beginner, who has only practiced machine control for one month, pulled off the lightning kick?

Unbelievable !

Takaya, Amano... you two will be members of the elite "Top Squadron."

But now the true challenge begins.

To be a true member of Top,

To be a true warrior who can protect the innocent.

To be a true fighter who can help others.

Improve your skill. Overcome adversity,

And fight !

Mt. Fuji is so beautiful !

Yes, "Aim for the Top !"

To be continued

"You're like a little sister to me" was your answer.

My declaration of love was broken in the wind of that Sunday.

Because I lost love under the bright sunshine, the tears did not come out.

I just stood there and said goodbye to you.

Oh, how shameful !

Since that day, I've been so miserable.

Despite that, Encore ! The power of love !

To my heart, Encore ! The true fighting spirit.

No matter how many times my heart gets broken, I'll always try again !

Aim for the Top Science Lesson

Section One

The Theory of Ether Space

Hi ! I'm Takaya.

I'm Amano. This is a special lesson after the episode.

With me is Takaya-San, who is a slow learner.

Please pay attention, everyone.

Since this is the first lesson, we will discuss space, where we will be going.

Takaya-San, what do you know about space?

Vacuum and absolute zero temperature !

You expected me to say that didn't you?

But no, I've studied !

Space is not a vacuum, but an ether field.

And the temperature is not absolute zero, but three degrees Kelvin due to black body radiation. Right?

Do you understand what you're saying, Takaya-San?

umm... well....

Ok, let's start from the beginning then.

When Dr. Tanhoizer published the Ether Space Theory toward the end of 20th century, the world of physics changed completely.

Dr. Tanhoizer was a incredible scientist who won the Nobel Prize five years in a row !

It is said that Tanhoizer is to modern physics, as Newton is to ancient physics, and as Einstein is to classic physics !

Very good !

Now, he also predicted the Tanhoizer Gate phenomenon, upon which the Warp Theory is based.

Oh, that's a starbow isn't it?

A Starbow is a phenomenon of sub-light speeds.

The Tanhoizer gate is the only way to achieve super-light speed navigation.

Can you explain how?

Ummm... Two black holes revolve around each other, creating a tunnel inside, from which we can see a starbow?

You're only half right.

Ok?

Two black holes that share the same Schwaltzschult radius...

...create an exposed allergy point by controlling the angular revolution speed.

That forces the ergo-region to extrude.

That is the Tanhoizer Gate.

Umm... I guess that means I'll have to study more !

Right !

Ok, next question.

Define "Ice Seconds", the fuel that makes machine weapons and space navigation possible.

I know that !

That's the isotope crystal of ice who's gravity degenerates at room temperature.

Since most of its stationary mass is in the same dimension as the mass in motion,

...they cause a red shift of light so intense that it can be seen through the darkness of space.

Some have called them 'women's jewelry floating in space.'

That's right Takaya !

Ah ! Coach !

There is no shame in ignorance.

All that matters is that you have a strong will and do your best !

Right ! I'll work hard and become Ms. Ice Second !

Well then, see you next time ! Bye bye !
