01x13 - Trouble Soaring Through Heaven

[bunniefuu]

Trouble Soaring Through Heaven

Jinto!

Are you okay?!

You look awful for a princess.

You look just as bad.

I repeat.

We are in a state of emergency.

We apologize for
the inconvenience...

...but Guzonyu Fantasy Park...

-I guess we were right on.
-...is closed due to an emergency.

The cave's connected
to a place like this?

Please line up at the exit...

-What do they mean by...
-Please line up at the exit...

-...emergency?

I repeat...

If it has nothing to do with us,
then I've got no idea.

In any case, we should hurry.

Please stop right there.

Please stop right there.

You did not enter this park
through a proper entrance.

A security officer will be
here to question you.

Get out of the way.

Please stop right there.

You're not intelligent beings.

No, we're not.

But don't tell that
to the children.

It'll break their hearts.

Jinto.
We'll have to destroy them.

But I don't feel good about it.

Neither do I!

But they'll catch up to us
unless we do something.

This is a warning!

You have committed
a crime of vandalism.

We further require
compensation for damages...

Then you better disappear
before you're destroyed!

Sorry.

Look at them.
What an atrocious display.

Move away from
the trespassers!

Cancel clause 24 functions.

We must hurry, Inspector.

Get the mechanical
animals out of there.

They'll just get in our way.

I'd like to, but I can't.

Something's jamming
the transmission.

This is the best we can do, since
we're limited to voice commands.

I'm sensing that you know
more than you've told us?

I did receive orders.

I've been told that as of 12:00,
transmissions will be jammed.

Communication will therefore
be impossible during this time...

...so we're to just continue
with our present orders.

I want to know the reason
for jamming the transmissions.

I haven't got a clue.

I see.

I bet the Abhs are back.

The Abhs are full
of strange customs.

The spaceship isn't
too far away.

We can see that
with our own eyes.

No.

I'm talking about
our own spaceship.

Let's hurry.

What is it?

It's as if...

...we're running
through a maze.

Let's ask him!

Good idea.

Welcome, welcome.

We'd like to know
where the exit is.

The exit?!

Are you leaving already?
How sad!

The park is closed due to an
emergency. Didn't you know?

That can't be.

The Guzonyu Fantasy Park
is open 24 hours a day...

As I said, it's an emergency.

Are you going to tell us or not?

I guess I'll have to.

What the hell was that?!

To the men...

...or rather, the intruders who
bombed the emergency exit.

Please control yourselves
while in the park!

Please refrain from
destroying property!

Looks like your friends are here.

Are you sure?

Hey, faster!

I can't go much faster,
Inspector.

The animals here don't
understand the traffic rules.

That's because these
roads aren't for cars.

We should've come
in an aircraft!

Should I call for backup?

Get real!
We haven't got time!

Inspector! Over there!

Damn it!

All right! Get 'em!

Not here!

Stop where you are!
This is the police!

I doubt there's a single
person in this galaxy...

...who would stop
when told to stop.

Officers, get outta the car!

Officers, prepare to fire!

After them!

Let me through!

Sorry!

Bad children!

Sorry.

Can I point out one thing?

What?

We're heading back
the way we came.

We've got no other choice!

The enemy that was
following us are there!

Did you forget?

You're divinely carefree.

I'm impressed.

Thank you.

Well, I thought
you were leaving.

Are you back to buy
something this time?

You have an aircraft
or spaceship?

Of course!

Oh, no!

Lafiel, this way!

What?

Where are you going...

-I said stop!
-...mister?!

There they are!

We must hurry.

He's just one of many
soldiers out to find us.

He reported us.

I know that!

What's going on?!

Withdraw!

What are you saying?!

This is a b*ttlefield.

Entering here would be like
some c*ck brat...

...mixing it up with
professional fighters.

This is no place for us cops!

Get moving!

Retreat to our cars!

But Inspector!

They're right in front of us!

We can't withdraw now!

If you want to catch
them that badly...

...go join your
friends over there.

Damn!

The mistake was coming
here in the first place.

Jinto, now! This way!

Welcome! Welcome...!

Step back!

Welcome...

Damn!

You okay?

Of course I am.

I'm kin of the stars.

All right.

Lafiel!

I'm ashamed to say that
I'm very exhausted.

Land's got double the
gravity you're used to...

...and we did run an awful lot.

The Grand Chamberlain
would have a fit...

...if he ever saw me like this.

Is he strict with manners?

Yes.

He always used to scold me.

Actually, he probably
wouldn't mind...

...since I carry myself
with elegance whenever...

...the time and place calls for it.

I believe you.

Unfortunately, I guess
I've never been with you...

...during any of those times.

You shall watch your mouth.

I'm always elegant.

Really?

Say anything else and
I'll tear you to pieces.

That could be a problem.

We haven't got a chance in hell
if they charged in right now.

Let's go.

I'll carry you on my
back if you want.

I'm fine.

I wonder if she would've...

...put her arm around me
like this when we first met.

She would've told me to take
the logbook and go on alone.

I was happy for her reliance.

Are you tired?

Very much.

You're awfully
heavy for children.

You sure you're not adults?

We have some problems
with our obesity.

It's my first time to carry two
kids as big as you two at once.

Sorry.

I'm okay.

Great. Then, can you go faster?
To the exit.

Of course.

Jinto!

They're coming!

You shall lean back!

Go faster!

Top left!

We can't go that way!

It's a short cut!

Stay low!

There's no end to this.

What are they doing?

They're making it so much
more difficult to run.

They're coming.

They're copying us!

I'll leave them to you.

I've got my hands full.

But there's not much I can do.

Faster!

Really? Sure, but tell me
when it's unsafe.

Here's the last one!

You shouldn't be
littering on the streets!

I'm a very bad boy.

There's the exit.

Are you okay?

I'm not allowed
to go any further.

Thank you.

There's more coming.
We shall hurry!

I know.

Please come again.

Sorry.

Warning, warning.

The gates are closing.

Please step away from the gates.

Warning, warning.
The gates are closing.

Please step away from the gates.

Freeze!

Don't do it!

Why not? Are you
going to just give up?

That's right.

Look.

They're the local police.

We'd be better off than
being caught by the enemy.

What if they hand us over?

We'll tackle that
problem when we face it.

If we fight here...

...we're guaranteed to die.

I'm Inspector Entryua of
the Lune Biga City Police.

I'd like to ask you a
few questions regarding...

...a car stolen 5 days ago.

Are you going to arrest us?

No. We ask that you
come with us voluntarily.

Although I should be able to
arrest you on charges of...

...property damage and
unlawful use of a weapon.

I claim legitimate self-defense.

That's what I thought, so I
didn't include the murders.

However, it would be in your
best interest to come with us.

At this rate, the occupying
army will k*ll you.

Lafiel...

I will trust your judgement.

That's good.

We won't need to use force
as long as you cooperate.

You're too easy on them,
Inspector.

United Mankind?!

You tricked us!

Wait, let me explain!

We're not collaborating
with the occupying army!

I'm the officer in charge here.

There's no problem
as long as you do as I say.

That's not quite true!

There is a problem.

You didn't check whether
they're completely unarmed!

How can you trust them?!

I swear, in the name of the Abh...

...I have no more weapons.

Not good enough!

If you want me to believe you,
take your clothes off...

...and lie there on your back.

I'll thoroughly check
you out myself.

That's enough.

Hurry up and do as I say.

You're a bunch of shameless
beings with no morals.

You disgusting
synthetic humans.

You filthy Abh!

That's enough!

Inspector...

...how old do you think I am?

Well, I'd say about 27, 28...

I'll be 49 this year.

What?!

You're older than I am?!

Oh, I see.

You've gone through
gene modification.

Have you heard of
the Silejia Republic?

No.

They lost in a w*r
about 120 years ago...

...and became part
of the United Mankind.

Gene modification
was practiced there.

Well, it was more a practice
of reversing the aging process.

So you were a subject.

It was my grandfather who
actually received the treatment.

That's three generations ago.

It doesn't matter
how long ago it was.

My birth certificate states that
I'm one of the immortal Silejians.

So the organization sees
you as an outcast, huh?

Then what makes you so
zealous about your duties?

Go on! Take your clothes off!

That's out of the question!

Get outta the way!

You pathetic sl*ve!

Jinto!!

You b*stard!

You will pay!

No. Don't, Lafiel...

Who did that?!

Hurry up! Get in!

Don't sh**t!
We'll hit each other!

You shall me let go!

We haven't got time!

I'll k*ll him!

I'm going to turn the guy who
did this to Jinto into space dust!

Let go!

We're not in space...

...so the best you'll do
is burn his corpse to a crisp.

We're ready, Bill!

Here we go!

What the hell was that?!

You useless piece of sh*t!
Give me back my weapon!

I was sympathetic to you...

...but you've gone too far.

We're going after them!

All officers in their cars!

What is it this time?!

Are you okay, Jinto?

It's just a scratch.

Daswani, let's switch seats.

Please treat his injury.

How'd you know we'd
be coming out from there?

If you had reached
the main stream...

...it would've been
difficult to find you...

...since there are a
number of exits.

So we surrounded Fantasy Park
in case you took that route...

...and there you were.

Would've been nicer
if it was before I was shot.

You're lucky that
we were there at all.

Oh, by the way...

Isn't there something
you'd like to tell us?

Like, for instance,
a "thank you".

Or maybe a "thank you".

Or perhaps even a "thank you"?

A million thanks.

But you're still planning
on using us as hostages, right?

I told you before.

We want a spaceship.

But why go through
all this danger?

We realized after we split up
just how incredibly valuable...

...you are as hostages.

How stupid of me.

I have a question
for the Abh girl.

What is it?

Are Abriel ears allowed by
those outside the imperial family?

No.

Well, I thought so.

Can I ask you for your name...

...Your Highness?

Abriel Nei Dobrusk
Viscountess Paryunu, Lafiel.

Do you know why
I brought you here?

You have a crush on me?

You'll be my navigator...

...on our way to hell.

Once I catch that Abh,
I'll first k*ll you on the spot.

Next, I'll k*ll the accomplices
who interfered in the arrest...

...and then I'll get that
pet boy of hers.

If the artificial mind of the Abh
has even a hint of emotion...

...she might even mourn.

Why are you doing this?

Because, I can't forgive them!

I can't forgive them for always
attaining happiness in the end!

You're jealous of them.

Nei Dobrusk?

That's the name of the imperial
family's first in line, isn't it?

We might get not
only a spaceship...

...but independence itself.

That decides it, Bill.

To the funeral center!

But first, we should concentrate
on getting rid of some pests.

It's the police.

Wouldn't it be wiser for
you guys to just give up?

The police are after us.

I don't want to
involve you in this.

Fire!

Those men are not
from the police!

Leave it to me.

I've disconnected all safety
devices for a situation like this.

Hold on tight!

Do you have anything, Min?

I've got a K211, of the
former Kamintail Republic.

It still has a reputation for the
highest absorption rate anyway.

Here! You can have this!

And here's another!

What were those?

Sensor mines.

Don't slow down!

It's just a smoke screen!

Those were mines!

Our electromagnet is damaged.

Stop the car!

Don't stop, you fool!

We've got cars behind us!

An accident.

One should always be
mindful of safe driving.

The frequency jamming
is still in effect, isn't it?

Yes, it is.

So they won't be able
to call for help.

But something's coming.

Don't scare me.
It's just the fire brigade.

That's a fire, after all.

Ah, the enemies were riding
police cars, weren't they?

Yeah, so?

If they're seizing police cars...

...maybe they'll do the same
with the fire department?

Notice to citizens.

Cooperate with our search.

-See that flickering light?
-Politely answer all questions
asked.

That's a sign that we've taken
over the Traffic Department.

All underground passages
will be closed shortly...

...and our soldiers will
cover every inch of the city.

The Abhs have nowhere to run.

You're overdoing it.

I think we should split
up from you here.

I told you.

You've already
involved us enough.

We can't just walk away,
now that we've come this far.

A spaceship or independence
will not be possible...

...but I'm certain that
the Clyuve family will...

...reward you in some way
for your help.

We must have a spaceship.

I'm telling you,
that's impossible.

Can't you lend them one?

Yes, that might be possible.

Then please promise me,
Princess...

...that you will
lend us a spaceship.

I can only promise that
I'll ask the Empress.

We'd appreciate that.

If I survive long enough
to see Her Majesty again...

...I will ask her.

We'll make sure you
survive this.

We have the ability to
send you back to space.

What do you mean?

The Undertaker...

...is an undertaker.

I was wondering what these
were when I first saw them.

So, they're huge graves.

Don't mistake a funeral
center for a graveyard.

That's an unforgivable mistake.

Uh, Sorry....

Then, what are they?

They're coffins.

What?!

The graveyard's up there.

Man, it's scary to think
how much today's kids...

...are ignorant of basic customs.

It's common sense, Jinto.

Naturally, when someone dies,
the corpse is released into space.

Wow.

Huh? You don't think...?

We found them.

It says here that they've
found an Abh-like person.

Have they been caught?

I'm going to catch them myself!

Hey, head to the
northwestern district!

Begin funeral preparations.

What is that?

I wonder. I'm not too
familiar with this area.

We can easily find out,
you know.

Then why don't you do that?

The Abhs have nowhere to run.

I'm going to get them.

Marca, they're here.

But nothing to worry about.

It's only the fire department.

We'll be ready to launch
in about one minute.

What will you people do?

You look like you're
feeling a lot better.

We'll be okay.

This is where we
were born and raised.

We're not about to be caught
by some foreign idiots.

As for you, the biggest danger
is in the launch itself.

You've got no armor,
so be careful.

Thanks.

But I don't know how
we can be careful.

We can't even steer it.

There's one way.

You can pray.

I don't believe it!

How could they think
of escaping like that?!

Why didn't you tell me...

...about these Clasbul
funeral traditions?!

You never asked.

Where's our backup?!

They've just arrived!

How many?

Five aircraft.

Only five?!

They're asking us where
they should land.

Look out for one
that's about to launch!

And destroy it immediately!

Got that?!
lmmediately!

Hurry!
You're launching in 30 seconds!

So, don't forget
about the spaceship.

All right. I promise you.

I never imagined I'd experience
being a corpse while I'm alive.

Does it still hurt?

It's just a scratch.

This is humiliating...

...to have to ride a ship with
no spatial sensors or guhakes.

This is not a ship.

It's a coffin. C-O-F-F-I-N.

It's cramped in here.

I suddenly have the urge to
get away from you. Stay away.

Ouch! Be careful, I'm injured.

I thought it was just a scratch.

Jinto.

Yeah?

You shall forgive me.

For what?

You have...

Yeah.

Next time we get in one of these...

...we won't be talking
to each other.

You fool.

I'll tell you now.

I've made a decision.

Decision on what?

That I'll remain by your
side until the next time.

What are you waiting for?!

Why aren't you sh**ting?!

Ram it!

Aim your aircraft at it!

sh*t!

Get assistance!

Where's the anti-aircraft unit!

Just sh**t down that piece of
trouble soaring into the sky!

Damn it!

I won't allow them to get
away like that!

It's no use.

That trouble soaring into the
sky is trouble soaring to heaven.

Trouble soaring to heaven!

Now there's a good one!

Why?!

Why are they always
the lucky ones?

God will praise us
but not grant us...

...not even a sacrifice
of one person!

That's all I'm asking
to comfort my soul.

Why is it?!

Executive officer,
I have an urgent message.

Read it out.

Aye-aye.

Calling commander.

What is it?

We have word that a scout
ship of the Lardbyursh...

...has rescued castaways
drifting in orbit.

And?

The castaways claim to be...

...Viscountess Paryunu and
His Excellency, Count Hyde.

Is that so?

She looks like that because
Your Excellency dressed...

...Her Highness in those rags,
and dyed her hair black?

Well...

You see, I had no choice.

No, no. That's beautiful, Count.

I heard you were training
to become a supply officer.

I'd love to have you
serve under me.

Huh...

Don't worry about it, Jinto.

She's using you to
make fun of me.

Typical Spoor.

Anyway, we must first
treat the Count's injury.

I'll have someone take
you to the medical room.

I'd love to hear about
your adventures after that.

In any case, I find
it truly amazing.

You dressing Her Highness
like that, and yet...

...you're forgiven with
just a shot to the shoulder.

I'm not the one who shot him!

We then finally made it
to the capital.

And it was there that we
learned of Gosroth's demise.

Those were wonderful days.

Plakia and I were truly
in love with each other.

We'd make use of our privilege
to cause each other trouble.

Privilege?

Cause each other trouble?

To be able to cause
trouble to each other.

I'm relieved, little child.

Seems you're still too
young to fall in love.

Do you think so?

Tell me, was it your idea to
have me board Plakia's ship?

Too far-fetched
to be a coincidence.

I wanted her to refine
the jewel that I brought up.

Tell me one more thing.

Do you know
Plakia's evaluation of me?

She told me simply...

...that she was proud of you.

Proud...

What would your ancestors
think if they saw an Abriel...

...breaking down in tears.

After having built a up a bad
reputation for heartlessness.

Those born to the Abriels
do not have the right to cry.

Don't even let anyone know.

If you must cry...

...do so where you're not seen.

Father, that's not fair.

What's not fair?

You never taught me how to
cry without showing tears...

...like you do.

I was told later that ties
with my home planet...

...had been completely severed.

Strangely, I felt no sadness.

I wonder why?

Perhaps I had already lost
my home planet back then.

Shortly after,
I received confirmation...

...of the execution of the
Count Hyde, my father.

The Hyde Constellation had
joined with the United Mankind...

...to fight against the Empire...

...under orders of their
new leader, Teal Clint.

I was looking for you.

That cat...

His name's Diaho.

He's Zanelia's son.
Zanelia is Holia's daughter.

Then...

...that makes you Diaho's aunt.

Fool.

Tomorrow's the day you start
management school, right?

Yeah.

I'll be going to school
for the next three years.

I'm not looking forward to it.

How about you?

No decision yet on
which ship I'll be on.

Oh.

Well, take it easy until then.

Once that's decided, you'll
be headed for battle, right?

Right. Three years...

So you'll be a supply
officer in three years, right?

If all goes well, that is.

I'll likely be chief in three years.

Then I should get
my own ship.

It would be an attack ship
or an escort ship...

...though I'm hoping
for an attack ship.

Right.

An attack ship will need a
supply officer to keep records.

And...

...it's customary with the
Star Forces for the captain...

...to have some say
in the ship's crew.

It's not guaranteed...

...but it's possible if both the
captain and crew member want it.

I ask the future
Chief Officer Abriel.

Should you come across a
Supply Officer Lin...

...please invite me...

...to serve under you
as your secretary.

Right.

If you insist,
I'll just have to accept you.

It's pretty much a given that I'm
going to be chief in 3 years...

...so the rest is up to you...

...so study hard and achieve
that rank of supply officer.

Okay, I'll do my best, Lafiel.

Well, I'll see you
again at dinner, Jinto.

I'll be busy until then.

Hey, what about Diaho?

He seems to like you.

Why not keep him company?

You're free, right?

You're unreal.

Lafiel.

You're still a lousy liar.

But I'm happy that
I'll be by your side again.

I'll be getting old.
I only have half your life span.

But I will be by your side
as much as I can.

Whether it be the day you
first take the jade throne...

...or...

...it be the day you
vanish in Plane Space...

...I will be by your side.

Those are my intentions.

The future that I've chosen.

Three years later...

You're taking the
Futune away from me?

As you're aware, we lost many
ships in battle 3 years ago.

As you're aware, we lost many
ships in battle 3 years ago.

Our forces are
back to normal now.

I'll have you command a fleet
and assist Admiral Trife.

You will start three
days from now...

...so prepare for
a smooth transition.

We'll talk about personnel
for your new command later.

Congratulations,
Admiral Spoor.

Congratulations?!

Does he think I was hoping
for a promotion or something?

I'm already a Duchess.

What are you looking so
happy about, Chief of Staff?

Uh, nothing.

There's nothing wrong
with being happy.

You should also hurry
with the transition.

Huh? May I ask what for?!

Because you are my
new Chief of Staff.

What?! Wait a minute!

You're all promoted!

I'm taking you with me!

This isn't at all the space
lifestyle I had in mind.

There's nothing we can do.

I left my dear husband
and child...

...to come to deep space...

...so why am I stuck shipping
freight for the Empire?!

There's nothing we can do.

And it's not as if we're
in control of the shipping.

The operations of this ship
are handled by an Abh.

We haven't got much to do
but drink booze...

...and watch our bank
accounts grow.

There's nothing we can do.

Hey, it's not so bad if you
think we're saving up for...

...the upcoming Clasbul
w*r for Independence.

And we're doing it with the
help of the Empire to boot.

Yeah, pretty neat when
you think about it.

What's so neat about it?

Let's just sit back and enjoy
this until this w*r's over.

Until it's over?

It's hardly even begun.

There's nothing we can do.

Can't you say anything besides
"There's nothing we can do"?

Did I tell you about the guy who
jumped into the thorn bush?

Yeah, hundreds of times!

Anti-matter fuel tank
inspection ship, Seelnay

Wow. That was a close call.

The magnetic density
was dangerously low.

However, the logic crystal to
the remote observation...

...had deteriorated
to the point that...

Your lies aren't going
to get past me.

You've done it again, Seelnay.

She saw through me.

Why repair a perfectly
fine fuel tank?

Because we can charge
for repairs and make more...

That's true, but there's more
than enough work out there.

And I'm sure the Bureau's
starting to get suspicious.

It's okay.

We have the Clyuve
family backing us up.

You shouldn't be relying on
the royal family too much.

Hey.

Don't forget I'm the Chair
of Seelnay and Company.

Then can you make it
without Grieda and myself?

No.

In that case, I'll pretend we
didn't have this conversation.

For this job, we'll just charge
for the actual inspection.

Come on!

Attack ship, Basroil

Captain.

We're finished loading
all food and supplies.

There's only the
two of us here, Jinto.

Right.

I really missed you.

Listen.

I'll let you in on a huge secret.

I missed you too.

Your secret is safe with me.

It's been 3 years, yet you
haven't changed one bit.

I certainly hope I didn't
change in a mere 3 years.

You look older though.

I'd rather you say
I look more adult.

I heard that chuckle, Captain.

I told you, there's only
the two of us here.

Well, we can't act too friendly
while others are around.

Yeah.

It isn't good for crew morale.

In order that we don't
unintentionally do it...

...I should make a habit of...

...calling you Captain,
or Chief Abriel at all times.

Is that what you
want to call me?

Do you think that's
what I want to call you?

In that case...

...you shall call me Lafiel!

The beast drawn on this crest
is an irregularly shaped...

...eight-headed dragon
called a Gaftonoshu.

This mythical beast
was long forgotten...

...until an empire had
chosen it as their crest.

The Gaftonoshu then
became the greatest beast...

...among legendary creatures
imagined by mankind.

This was because this
particular empire...

...was the most powerful nation
in the history of mankind.

The race that built this nation
is known as the Abh.

Or perhaps they should be
called the "kin of the stars"...

...given that that's what they
proudly proclaim themselves to be.

In any case, let's limit our
talk to the Gaftonoshu...

...since there is no limit to
stories about the Abh race.
