The Grand Exile was constructed
by the consensus of the Ades Federation, the rightful owner of this world,
to surpass all else.
In the name of Maestro Sārā,
a legitimate heir and plenipotentiary over all inhabitants of this world,
I hereby declare:
As of this moment, all acts of hostility throughout the world
are to be halted immediately.
All forces worldwide will disarm at once and surrender.
Those who refuse to comply will face punishment by the Grand Exile.
All offensive weaponry will be destroyed,
ushering in an era of true world peace.
True peace, my ass! You bird-brained bastard!
He's saying one thing but doing another!
This isn't the peace Sārā wanted!
She's crying...
Soko ni nani ga aru toshite mo
Mikai no ryouiki e kimi to
Mijikai yume wo miteta ima
Are wa kimi no senaka
Kako? Mirai?
Furikitte iru meetaa no hari wo mushi shite
Oikaze to kanjou no muku hou e
Habataku tabi kizukasareru
Nido to deaenai sora ga aru koto
Sore demo tobitatsu nara
Kimi no tsubasa ni naru watashi ga
Grand Exile's position confirmed!
Northeastern Glacies, Grid G-7!
Moving south-southeast by east at 20 knots!
Admiral Sadri's 1st Fleet has taken formation ahead of it!
We cannot let that slaughterer represent the Augusta any further!
All ships will focus on eliminating the enemy fleet at the fore of the Grand Exile!
Meanwhile, we Vanship pilots will penetrate its defenses
and attempt to locate and rescue Augusta Sārā!
Gotta scratch that itch to get back into action, huh?
We're the only ones with proper Vanship training who can storm the ship.
I wish I could play, too...
The Silvius is in your hands.
Lend Commander-in-Chief Millia your support, okay?
Roger!
Oww...
Cecily. Your ears will be vital inside the blizzard.
- We're counting on you. - Yes, Sir! I'll do my utmost!
Augusta Sārā is the key to the Grand Exile.
Alvis Hamilton, another Exile key, can sense her location.
Can't you, too?
You're the new Turan witch, after all.
I need to command our forces.
Dyan. I would like you to take Al there...
We have to rescue Sārā.
You're our finest pilot.
You're the only one I can trust with this mission.
But I...
Can you really forgive me?
Dyan...
No. I can't forgive what you did to my sister yet.
I can't.
But I have a duty to fulfill.
Duty?
I absolutely can't run away.
Because I'm Turan's ruler. It's my duty to lead its survivors.
That's what I've inherited from my sister.
It doesn't matter how I feel!
It doesn't matter how I feel.
I'm so pitiful.
I'll fly.
Everyone's waiting.
To everyone about to confront the Grand Exile...
I believe this will be our final battle.
Surrendering now might indeed end the war, as Luscinia claims.
But could we really call that peace?
People from different nations... different worlds... have gathered here.
Yet, right now, we all share the same wish for the same future.
Surely we know by now that we can change the world!
Not by force, but with mutual dialogue...
...with compassion for each other.
Together, let us claim our new future, and then return...
...to those waiting for us!
Gisey. I...
I really want to hold a Grand Race after all.
Because I think all those smiles that day were real.
Fam...
Gisey!
Smile, Fam!
Okay!
Do you know the controls?
Fam taught me.
Now crossing Glacies border!
ETA to Grand Exile, ten minutes!
Any word from the Silvius?!
Unable to confirm!
Continue to hold formation!
Keep the comms relay safety margin at 15%!
Ships detected at 3 o'clock!
High-speed, heavy flotilla leaders!
Signal from the 4th Fleet's flagship, the Senapati!
"Our fleet hereby joins the Joint Forces
to help create the world of peace the Augusta and the people desire."
How mean of you to ditch me, ol' friend.
S-Sir!
Well, I'll be!
Ships ahead!
I count 50... no, 70... Super-dreadnaughts!
The 3rd and 4th Fleets!
There's no freedom in this country!
Constantly tied down by old edicts, we do nothing but fight and steal!
A child like you wouldn't understand!
This isn't right at all!
I'm going to soar through skies of my own!
I won't let anyone get in my way!
Stop, Rahā!
Perhaps you should have gone with Sorūsh instead, Guzel.
No. Only the premier can bring about the world we believe in.
All hands to battle stations!
Giant Claudia Unit acoustics ten miles ahead!
Artillery loading acoustics! Main gun preparing to fire!
The Grand Exile...
All forces, prepare for combat!
Roger!
Now approaching altitude ceiling!
- Prepare for battle! - Prepare for battle!
Assemble the floating docks! Let's give 'em a foothold!
Altitude limitation gone!
Commence Boreas Strategy!
Fire!
The enemy is now nearly blind and deaf!
Give that waygoing old soldier a final farewell!
Why? More deaths is the last thing she wants...
Incoming enemy fire!
Impact in three, two, one!
High-speed object approaching at over 300 knots!
Serious threat!
What?!
The 4th Fleet's Kumāra and Guha have been downed!
What's happening?!
The Grand Exile is attacking!
Direct strikes from ultra-high-speed objects!
The Grand Exile has them too...
The Exile defense mechanisms.
Give the 4th Fleet support!
Enemy fleet approaching at 10 o'clock!
Artillery loading acoustics within the Grand Exile!
I estimate ten tons or more!
Alert all ships and order evasive action!
All comms relays are down! We're unable to communicate!
Oh, no!
Fam!
Isn't there anything we can do?!
If we go out there now, we'll be blown to pieces.
The Augusta's flame will transform this world.
Not a single opposing ship must be allowed to approach the Grand Exile!
Artillery loading complete! Main gun is about to fire!
Run, everyone!
That sound...
Casualty report!
We've lost a third of our forces!
Unusual wind noise from the Grand Exile's outer hull!
I believe the gun and its surrounding shielding have broken off!
Its gun has?!
Looks like those big ones are single-use-only.
Engines to full! Flank speed!
We're sending our intrusion team through that opening!
We will launch all Vanships after we've breached the enemy vessel!
Once inside the Grand Exile, we'll execute our plan to retrieve the Augusta!
Grand Exile gun at 1 o'clock is preparing to fire!
Target orientation, 191 degrees!
Projected target?!
The royal city of Turan, Iglasia!
He's planning to destroy Turan again?!
That isn't a military facility! Ades immigrants live there, too!
He's making an example!
"That which is born from the blue surface of water..."
Replace the combat modules on all damaged ships at once!
Incorporate all remaining ships from the 3rd and 4th Squadrons
to increase our breakthrough capacity!
Change of formation.
Move all heavily damaged ships to the rear.
"May our serenity be everlasting..."
Sister...
They used an Exile as a shield!
What the?! What's happening?!
Something's definitely odd!
Father... Sister... Please safeguard...
...my dear friends.
All ships, charge!
Inverted Wedge formation!
Fend off the enemy's charge!
My friends! I've brought the greatest reinforcements one could hope for!
Wina!
Anatoray reinforcements!
It's about time, Sophia.
Empress Sophia of Anatoray-Disith hereby orders all ships...
...to support the Joint Forces!
Fly the banner!
All ships to flank speed!
Follow the Silvana's lead!
Thank you for your support!
Our main focus now is to get inside the Grand Exile!
Evade! Five degrees starboard!
Incoming! 15 degrees up-trim!
The Silvius must be allowed through!
All ships will take off the instant the hatch opens!
Do not fall behind! Understood?!
Roger!
Output at 80%. All systems are nominal.
We're all set.
Guess this is it!
Better hope you're ready, Birdbrain!
May the wind carry your wings!
Good tailwinds!
Don't worry. We're coming now...
Show 'em what the Swift is made of!
Lady Millia! Save Augusta Sārā!
Ready bow-mounted long-barrel guns!
Fire!
All ships, charge!
We're coming, Sārā!
Fam, Giselle, Dyan...
We're counting on you!
So this is the Grand Exile...
It seems familiar somehow...
Go on, Fam!
Captain Tatiana!
I've missed this feeling.
Don't get distracted!
Prepare to ram!
All hands, brace for impact!
Just how big is this ship?!
We gotta hurry! Captain Tatiana, Millia, and all the others are in danger!
Just as I thought!
Yeah, I agree. This isn't right at all.
You just wanted to create a world where everyone can smile, didn't you?
Where to?
That way!
Wait!
- Enter the pipe at 9 o'clock! - Huh?
That one will have the shortest route!
Wha? How do you know that, Gisey?!
The Grand Exile seems to share the same basic structure
as the Federation flagship Impetus!
Fire multi-mount jet-propelled armor-piercing shells!
Right turn in eight seconds!
Five, four, three, two, one...
Now!
Left turn in six seconds!
Four, three, two, one...
Now!
Right in five seconds! Three, two, one...
Now!
Let us have some bragging rights too, will ya?!
Bring it on, you birdbrains!
Take this!
Go, Fam!
Guys! May the wind carry your wings!
Almost there! Just up ahead!
Dyan!
Never mind me! Just go!
Hold on tight!
End of the line!
Whoa, is this... unfinished?
It was abandoned during construction...
Unbelievable...
Target all guns on the Grand Exile's interior walls!
Draw the tentacles' attention to us!
To unify the world under Maestro Sārā and lead it to peace.
What point is there to a life devoid of freedom and free will?
A life in which you simply "persist"?!
Indeed, the premier's method might have the quickest results.
Are you sure that dream has come to pass?
The premier himself issued this order in advance.
No more people dying!
But... I want to dream!
