Aldnoah.Zero (2014) s01e12 Episode Script
Childhood's End
1 The Deucalion? Why would they They had no choice but to make a frontal assault? Control! This is Mustang Leader! Please respond! Princess 1! Highness! Princess Asseylum confirmed alive! Control to Mustang Platoon, do you copy? Lt.
Marito! Amifumi? Is the Deucalion okay? Is everyone on the bridge okay? What about Nina and Calm? Are they okay? Somehow.
Well, maybe "We're all okay" isn't quite honest This might be more of a "Don't worry, go on without us!" kind of situation.
Inko, sorry Warrant Officer Kaizuka Princess 1, continue your mission.
Can you do that? Yes, ma'am! Amifumi.
Kaizuka Junior.
I want you to cover Warrant Officer Kaizuka.
Acknowledged.
Roger that.
Warrant Officer Kaizuka taking over as pilot.
Princess 1, continuing mission.
Kick their asses for us! Mustang 22, roger! You awake? This is going to get a little rough.
Hold on tight, Highness.
You are Inaho's older sister? You didn't seem to be hurt, but if I missed something, speak up.
Why? You hate us Don't you? The Versians who did this to Earth and took so many lives You hate us, don't you? Seylum.
What does it take to end a war? Do you know? Well, if both sides wish for peace and set aside their hatred No.
Warfare is nothing but a means of negotiation between states.
Wars break out even when there is no hatred.
Territory, resources, or interests that you are determined to own.
Ideology, religion, pride.
Wars are fought over those objectives all the time.
Meaning that when those objectives are met, the war will end.
That, or the war will end when the human cost outweighs the gains.
Anger and hatred, those are nothing more than tools to tilt a war in your favor.
I'm not interested in those emotions.
Inaho So I wouldn't hate anyone just because they're Martian.
Oh? I would gladly hate a Terran for that fact alone.
All units, scatter! Saazbaum of the Vers Orbital Knights' 37 Clans has arrived.
Please make your peace, Your Highness.
Count Saazbaum? It was you?! How did he tap our encrypted comms? All units, restrict further communications to laser comms! Yuki.
Continue the mission.
Inko, you provide support for Yuki.
I'll hold him off.
Don't be stupid! You don't know what his combat capability is! You can't win alone! I don't need to win.
I only need to slow him down.
Inaho! You aren't planning to act as a human shield, are you? That's an ineffective means of buying time.
Go, hurry.
Inaho Good hunting.
Thanks.
Let's go! Yes, ma'am! Inaho! I like your reckless courage, warrior of Earth.
But you will have no mercy from me! Decoys confuse guided missiles.
But unguided rockets are unaffected.
Mustang 11, path secured.
Don't get too full of yourself, Terran! Light of Aldnoah! What? Milady Give me your strength! Behold the Dioscuria! My rounds, they're Dimensional barrier, activated! Energy joints, linked.
Field generator, active.
Blade field, engaged.
Sword drawn.
That weapon, it's Is the princess on that ship? No This is Oldenburg Leader.
Stand by for assist, Mustang 22.
No! Fall back! Fools.
Fly, my servant! Count Surrender, Martian! Put your hands above your head! Come on! Terran forces have entered the castle! We need to shore up our defenses! You saved me? Even though I'm a Terran? Who are you fighting against?! Who were you pointing your gun at?! I don't see anyone here who turned his gun on his own! So stop asking stupid questions! Damn, one of 'em got in It's powering up! Contact the Kataphrakt platoon inside the castle! Auxiliary power system, start.
Will it work? No luck, huh? Its Aldnoah drive is shut down.
It will never move again without someone who has been granted activation rights.
What do I do? It- The Aldnoah drive powered up? But how? I really wish they'd give it a rest with those things! There is an inspection passageway.
It is a detour.
It will take us to the Aldnoah chamber.
It is not designed for equipment access, so we will have to abandon our Kataphrakts and proceed on foot.
Mustang 11! Roger! Let's move! Yes, ma'am! Inaho?! Princess Asseylum.
Your life, if you please.
Count Saazbaum! Bastard! He has a barrier, too! Inko, get out of here.
Inaho! Hurry.
No way, I can't just leave you! Don't worry about me, just run! Don't be an idiot! Dodge it Mustang 11! Like I thought, he has to lower the barrier when he launches his arms.
It's because the arm thrusters interfere with the barrier.
Hang on Did you use me as a decoy?! You don't say? The barrier needs to have a gap.
If you're watching at the instant he raises the field, it's easy to spot.
The antenna to remote-control the flying arms! You try my patience! Nao, run! No, I've been waiting for him to get close.
Why, you little And they can't raise a barrier along contact surfaces.
Why, you Count Saazbaum? I can't hit him! How can it be that fast?! It's like it's anticipating the trajectory of our bullets precisely! Princess, hurry! Coming! Now you, Inaho! No.
You go on ahead.
I'll be right behind you.
Lead the way.
Of course! This way! Filthy Terran! You dare?! Damn you! Your kind could never understand The envy and hatred towards Terrans that had been planted in us constantly tarnished our souls and robbed us of our ability to live as human beings! You, with your lives of indolence in a land of plenty, could never understand how we feel! The resentment at having that hatred ingrained in you! The sense of futility when you realize what was done! The regret of failing to protect the one you love You could never understand! Count! Orange! Go! We'll hold them off here! Hurry! Optical seeker, down.
Routing auxiliary sensor feed to main monitor.
Right arm, power cut.
Left arm I will defeat all who hate I will break the cycle of hatred In the name of Asseylum Vers Allusia! Count! Sleep! Milord Inaho Are you all right, Inaho?! Princess Asseylum! Seylum? Inaho! Thank goodness I have shut down the Landing Castle's Aldnoah drive.
The operation was a success.
Now, we should escape, too.
Sorry I can't see very well.
I have blood in my eyes.
I am right here, Inaho.
I am right here.
Count Saazbaum? You saved me, Slaine Well done.
Don't.
That is far enough.
Do not touch Her Highness, Orange.
Bat.
December, 2014.
Count Saazbaum's Landing Castle, which had attacked United Earth's headquarters, had fallen.
The battle had ended in victory for the United Earth Forces.
There were many casualties on both sides.
The whereabouts of Princess Royal Asseylum Vers Allusia of Vers are still unknown.
