There is no sign of Festum's appearance within the defense range.

Fafner and the weapon containers' final check is completed.

As scheduled, we will carry out the operations.

Release the gate.

Release the gate. Devil Ray to the runway.

Each pilot's vital sign is stable.

We will arrive after four hours.

The flight may not be comfortable. But relax.

Yes.

Devil Ray, ready to take off.

Attention each pilot.

This operation's purpose is not to wipe out the enemy at all.

It is to rescue our colleague who is captured by the enemy...

...and to acquire a new hope that could put an end to the long battle.

Tatsumiya Island will never move from the current location.

We will stay where you should come back.

Kazuki Makabe, Maya Tomi, Kenji Kondo, Canon Memphis...

We will entrust our future to you.

Roger!

Mizoguchi, take care of the children.

Roger.

We will begin Operation Azure!

Fafner unit, take off!

Episode 25 SYMBIOSIS (The Final Battle)

Maya...

It's all right. Those four will arrive at our hope for sure.

Tsubaki.

I'm glad I could send them off... while I can stay outside.

All pilots' brain waves are crossed and changed into theta waves.

Although it's before the battle, everyone is completely relaxed.

To prepare for the battle, they are preserving energy.

Before we knew it, everyone became an adult.

Where are Kazuki and the others?

They went outside of the island defense range earlier.

They will arrive at the North Pole in a few hours.

Tsubaki, lie down for a little longer.

No.

If I fall into a deep sleep now... I'm sure I will never wake up again...

...isn't that right, Chizuru?

Yes... Before that, I will return your body to Coagula.

Return...

The function in each bloc on the island is showing abnormality.

They can't stop the animals and plants on the island from dying...

...one after another.

Because this island's Mir learned death.

What on earth is going on?

The Mir controls this island's functions...

...as an infinite information unit.

And it learned the circle of life and trying to die...

...with Tsubaki, who is the core.

Before that, I have to teach Mir...

...that the end of a life is the beginning of a new life...

...that life and death continue as one.

Wait. Does the Mir exist somewhere on the island?

If that is affecting the island...

Why don't we throw away such stuff! It is making Tsubaki suffer...

What you are breathing now is the Mir.

Breathing?

The air on the island within the camouflage mirror surface...

That is the Mir of this island.

It continues the air circulation...

...exists with us as the same mass of gas as the island...

...and continues accumulating the information.

It doesn't exist anywhere... and exists everywhere.

In other words, the Mir is this island's environment itself.

The air... isn't the true identity of Festum a crystal...?

Since the Mir on this island met Fumihiko and the others...

...it started to take a life form.

Isn't that right?

Yes. Once, the Mir was a crystallized mineral.

But one day, it progressed into biosphere...

...and changed itself into the air.

Biosphere?

An independent environment where life can exist.

That was the first step of the co-existence of Festum and us.

One of these days when the island Mir...

...understands the circle of life completely...

...this island becomes the same existence as the earth.

So that it can keep us alive in space or on the bottom of the sea.

I can move everything on the island, because the island's air is Mir.

I have to go back to Coagula because of the same reason.

If I stay like this, everyone who lives with the Mir... will die too.

It can't be...

The Mir is still in the process of growing up.

It is learning life and death little by little.

I can't let it end now.

But why do you have to sacrifice yourself, Tsubaki?

The happy and sad story that only a life can have in this universe...

I could experience that, Seri.

The radar detected many responses.

It's about time... I will lower the altitude.

They are countless...

The sky is the same.

Neo U.N. gathered the task force from all over the world.

If all of them are destroyed completely...

If that happens, it's the end of the human race.

For those units joining the battle, send us your identification code.

This is Fafner unit of Tatsumiya Island.

We are going to have fun with you. Wish us luck.

Refrain from becoming harmful to the human race, Mizoguchi.

Barns, you too. Don't shoot your friend from behind.

We have no intention of wasting our bullets on you.

But each unit must secure its own safety.

What do you mean?

To deal with the enemy's mind-reading power...

...each unit moves by its own judgment.

Are you telling us to prepare to fight among humans...

That's right. No one knows who is going to move or how.

It is full-scale guerrilla warfare.

You are approved as the 127th unit.

Good luck and may you survive.

How could they abandon the chain of command itself...

That is the most effective way in a total war against Festum...

That's the case. Did you hear?

Yes.

There is no problem.

We are free to do anything, aren't we?

That's convenient for us too.

We will arrive soon. Confirm the operations till then.

Roger. Kenji. Please.

Why me?

You are a president of the student council, aren't you?

Y... yeah!

Everyone, look at the monitor!

First, we will arrive at point A.

We will proceed to point B with number one equipment.

Meanwhile Mr. Mizoguchi will prepare number two equipment at point B.

We will enter the enemy's territory, and contact Kazuki's mom...

...no, the target core to get information on Soshi's whereabouts.

And we rescue Soshi and head to point D.

Mr. Mizoguchi and others will transfer to a recovery aircraft...

...and wait for us there.

Is that all right?

Thank you, Kenji. Canon, confirm the formation, please.

Me? You are the leader, aren't you?

You are more experienced than me, aren't you?

I understand...

Kazuki knows exactly.

About what?

That this is an unprecedented battle style.

That everyone is a commander, and everyone is a soldier.

In this operation, we fight all battles in four-in-one cross dock formation.

Kazuki's Mark Sein takes the lead, Kenji's Mark Acht is the right wing,

My Mark Drei is the left wing, and Maya's Mark Sieben stays in the back.

This formation looks as if we emphasize the defense...

...but this concentrates all fire powers in the front to make a forceful entry.

This strategy never looks back...

...and concentrates on the enemies in front of us.

The priority is to arrive at the target.

Is this all right, Kazuki?

Thank you, Canon. Maya...

...tell us once more the most important thing in this operation.

Our crossing will lose function...

...and we won't be able to hear each other's voice...

...if we lose just one person.

The important thing is that none of us die...

...that five of us, with Soshi, go back to the island.

So it has begun...

17 locations in the world, 168 missiles are ready to be fired.

The probability of dodging the enemy's attack...

...and reaching outside the atmosphere is 37% percent.

More than one third of them will contact the enemy core...

...that forms the network up in the sky...

How wonderful.

I wanted this day for more than 30 years.

Let's pray for the human race's victory.

May this fire reach the soul of Dr. Mitsuhiro...

...who is the designer of the final battle Heaven's Door.

This is... the North Pole...

The enemy!

Guard all directions! We are going in!

Drop the containers after five seconds.

Kazuki, Missy, Kenji, Canon.

Everyone, come back alive!

Landing point checked.

I'm counting on you, Kenji.

Point A cleared.

Here we go!

Roger!

Here they come!

Ugh!

Kazuki! Kenji and I will create a breakthrough! Here we go, Kenji!

Yeah!

Was that you, Missy? I used to be the one rescuing you.

Child of Alvis... teach us the true fighting method.

Now you are going to destroy the humans on this land.

K... Kazuki...

It seems to be a while for the core's re-synchronization to be ready.

Then complete Tsubaki Minashiro's preparation first.

I wish Ayano was here at a time like this...

It's about time the battle has begun at the North Pole, isn't it...

Yes... it's hard not knowing the battle situation.

Maya...

We have many ways to transport you.

I'm all right... I want to walk with my own legs.

It's good-bye, isn't it... Seri, Rina.

No. Let us stay with you till the end.

Because we never want to forget...

...that we can survive because of you, Tsubaki.

Thank you.

Kazuki!

You!

Pleiades-type!

They are countless!

Everyone shrink the formation!

The head is in one o'clock direction.

Replace the units effectively...

...lure the enemy's main power, and... destroy each one.

That's right. We are going to destroy them through you.

With minimum sacrifices, destroy the enemy.

Consider the sacrifices, and destroy the enemy.

The enemy's defense line is retreating.

Is Neo U.N. winning?

No. Many groups are defending alternately.

Festum are fighting systematically.

Soon new ones will come and push us back.

Then, since Neo U.N. can't work in cooperation with each other...

They are fully aware of the disadvantage from the beginning.

While they are retreating, we will deliver the packages.

We have arrived at Point B. Drop the containers.

Landing confirmed.

Leave quickly. We will come back soon.

There they are! The packages!

He is, after all, Mr. Mizoguchi!

It's an accurate replenishment.

It is the enemy's true territory from here.

Here we go!

Everyone is heading that way...

Don't they know the entrance is here?

We have no way of telling them the information we have.

If we go forward, I'm sure someone will notice.

Here we go!

What is this place?

We will overcome this together!

The children of Alvis have penetrated our defenses.

To destroy them... what should we do?

Ugh...

Cut off their teamwork... destroy... each of them...

Stop it! Don't touch the wound.

How can we cut them off?

Pretend to defend... and lure them...

Ugh!

...make some sacrifices... and cut them off...

We understood your thought.

I will destroy the children of Alvis... with the hatred I learned.

W... wait...

All links of Valkyrie's Coagula are completed.

We can begin the core's re-synchronization anytime.

All levels of temporary connection test are cleared.

Tsubaki... we are ready.

Tsubaki...

Then, for the core's re-synchronization...

...we will head for Valkyrie's Coagula.

Um... what are those?

They connect me to the Coagula and assimilate me with the island.

Please let us hold them.

Kenji!

Canon!

Ugh!

What?

Kenji! Canon!

Kazuki!

E... everyone...

Ugh!

Damn! Let go! Let go!

Kenji!

Ouch!

Is someone under attack?

W-where is everyone?

I'm cut off...

The enemy's defense range is being reinforced.

The units already entered there...

...and the reinforcement units are being cut off.

Keep going. We have no path of retreat any longer. Keep going!

I'm going back alive... at any cost.

Are you there?

I didn't exist anywhere before...

But now! I am here!

I can't die! I can't die!

Soon... soon... they... will understand...

Till then... live...
