If it wasn't for Nekki Basara, punching the computer like that. What an
appalling thing to do.
Basara, I've got us a new gig.
It's due to the documentary on Lynn Minmay, right?
I have wondered since I was a small boy, what is Lynn Minmay?
I don't care, just stop it!
What are you doing in such a narrow space? Hurry up and change to Gawalk!
Are you okay lady?

A Girl's Jealousy

It was such an embarrassment!
Perhaps you had better rest.
I don't have time for that. I'll have to take the valkyrie out again if the
enemy attacks.
That has been forbidden by the doctor.
So, have you been able to find out anything about the captured enemy soldier?
He won't answer any questions.
It's impossible to even tell if he understands us.
The life signs are normal.
So you mean you haven't gotten any information about the enemy then?
We don't know what to do.
I'll interrogate him.
Who are your people? What is your purpose? Just who are you?
We have the results of the DNA analysis of the captive.
Where is the alien from?
Actually, that captive is homo Sapiens, in other words human...
What!?
What does that mean?
Do you mean he's from earth?
There's no doubt about it.
Make sure you don't let this information get out.
Yes!
Welcome to the carnival hosted by the mayor. Please enjoy yourselves, adults
and children alike.
What's she thinking, anyway?
She has an ulterior motive. See?
What's that?
Disguising it as a carnival, she's trying to get the citizens to bring out
the battloids they own. The more battloids that can fight, the better.
Welcome to the carnival hosted by the mayor. Please enjoy yourselves, adults
and children alike.
During peacetime battloids are unnecessary. It might be best that they are
used this way.
Think so? 
What's this? Hey, is this for real?
How about it? As good as new, isn't it? I've been polishing it every day
since I retired from service. Finally the time has come when it can be
useful. 
He's sure got the nerve.
I'm amazed he kept it.
I don't like it at all. They've got these battloids together, but what about
the pilots? They aren't going to let make old retired soldiers do it are
they?
If they can.
Now, the main event of the carnival. Try riding in a battloid. Can you pass
the test?
I've gotten the high score at Batt II at the arcade! Nobody's beaten it yet!
Hey, look at this.
They're recruiting for pilots among citizens.
Are they serious?
The mayor is. If they test enough people there might be some a few with
potential.
I don't know... I think it's a waste of time.
It's Mayor Myria's plan to make it work.
I've been asked to do the maintenance on the battloids.
She asked you to be an instructor for the pilots.
Me!? I won't do it!
Come on, don't say that!
Basara! Ray! Over here!
What are you doing?
Standing in line.
Huh?
I'm going to ride a battloid!
That's the trouble with kids!
What do you mean?!
What are you going to ride it for? It's not an amusement park ride!
Why not, it's a carnival!
Milene! Milene, don't ride them.
Why not?
This is a test, to see whether you'll be useful when the enemy attacks!
They're looking for pilots who can fight!
Really?
Yes.
I'll do it after all then!
Ah?
Even more then, I'll try hard!
Milene, we're talking about actual combat! You might not only get hurt, you
could die!
I'll do it anyway! I've got to!
Milene!
You're just feeding the fire, Ray. You know what she's like.
Well, yeah.
Milene F. Jenius.
Yes!
Fourteen years old.
Yes. Is there an age limit?
No. There's none.
I'll pass the test then!
Well, you have to take the test first.
It's all right, I've played with battloids as toys! What are you..!
Mayor!
Whether you've played with battloids as toys or whether there's no age
limitation you can't! Just behave yourself!
Why?! I want to..!
Don't give me any more things to worry about! I can't be watching over you
all the time! Disqualified. Next.
It's not fair. Mom gets to ride the battloids... Hm?
I'm totally into this. It's like the theme song of the Rex Gang!
See? Sing it next time you ride the Milky Road. It's great!
But there's no Milky Road now.
We were always rode outside the limits anyway.
It's so frustrating not being able to get out in space! I wonder if the mayor
realizes, asking us to ride the battloids?
She doesn't realize at all.
That's gotta be it! 
Get back in line!
Okay!
She's trying so hard! Rex really wants to talk to you!
Good luck then!
What are you smiling about!
Than you very much! 
What about them?
You were here?
What about them?
I guess they're going to apply.
Didn't you try to stop them?
Why?
You called me a kid and tried to stop me!
But you are a kid. Did you pass the test?
Who knows!
What are you doing?
Who knows?
What's with her.
Pull on the lever slowly. Slowly! That's too much!
Dad, maybe you shouldn't do this.
You might be right.
Hey, don't do anything unnecessary!
Disqualified!
All these parts need to be replaced.
Okay.
Ray! Tomorrow's concert begins at one o'clock right?
That's right. We're one of the main attractions of the festival.
Don't we need to practice?
I can't afford to right now. Practice with Basara and the others.
Basara! Teach us how to ride battloids!
Ah...
But you're name, Nekki Basara, is on the list of instructors.
I refused that though.
Just teach us the basics.
Oh, all right.
Great! Let's go!
There are three formations, and they all feel different.
How are they different?
You'll know once you ride them. You should be particularly careful with the
Gawalk.
No problem! You know about our motorcycle techniques!
It's totally different.
You're arm's tense. If you apply force unnaturally the picture on the monitor
will blur.
He's working pretty hard at it!
They're so slow!
Gablin, why are you in such a hurry?
It's just...
Ah?
Milene...
Viffidas! We're going to practice for quite a while yet!
Thanks Viffidas! See you later!
It's morning already!
Yeah.
Bye.
Hot coffee?
Yes.
Would you like a hamburger with that?
Ah, no.
How about an apple pie?
Uh, just...
Why were Rex and Basara together that early in the morning.
My lady, I saw it too.
Huh?
I saw a young woman coming out of Basara's place. And it was early in the
morning. The two of them probably had coffee at dawn together.
Huh?
My lady, you're slow on the uptake.
What?
If a healthy man and a woman spent the night together then they've...
They played cards? Like seven bridge?
You're not getting it. You know how they say, between a man and a  woman,
there's something after love, after i. It''s the alphabet, in reverse.
After love between a man and a woman? The alphabet in reverse. A, b, c, d, e,
f, g, h, i... Before i there's h... H! That's stupid!
Akiko!
I'm going to record this performance.
Okay!
Where's Basara? I need to go over some things with him.
Who knows? He's probably off with some girl somewhere! He's an embarrassment
to our band!
Milene!
What, jealousy?!
Right. It's jealousy.
Me? About Basara? No way!
Why, that's..!
The enemy battle machines are concentrated in one area. Destroy the enemy
battle machines.
Yes sir.
I'll go get the valkyrie.
Our time has finally come! Here we go!
Right!
Leave it to me!
Forward!
I can feel that excitement like in the old days!
Isn't there anyone who'll ride the valkyrie?
Even if I have the high score, there's too much difference between a game and
the real thing!
Please don't!
Let go of me! If someone doesn't fight, we can't protect the citizens!
But you haven't recovered from your injury!
It's not that bad!
Mayor, I'm borrowing this.
Rex!
I'm counting on you!
Rex!
Rex, behind you!
Rex! 
I'm okay. Can one of you go?
Leave it up to me. I'll do it!
You won't be able to.
Oh yeah!?
You're never ridden one, right?
I can handle it!
Colette, let her go.
I won't let you do just anything you want!
He's in danger!
What are you doing? Fight! We're the only ones who can protect everyone!
Shut up! I have my own way of doing things!
This is no time to be singing! If we don't defeat them many people will be in
danger!
Don't talk as if you know what's going on! So you're Gamlin now?
Gamlin?
Jealousy.
Gamlin.
The girl in that valkyrie is pretty good. I think she was called Rex.
Uh, right now they've changed, and it's Milene.
Milene!
Yes. I guess it's in the blood.
Well, she is my daughter.
What's more, she is also the daughter of the brilliant pilot Captain
Maximillian Jenius.
Canons, aim well! Fire!
What have we done!
What do you think you're doing using such a large scale weapon in the city.
But...
No excuses. Get out immediately.
You! Wait! 
Basara. Get out of my way!
That's enough!
Why did you stop me?
Don't get carried away!
I was almost able to wipe them out!
Milene!
But it's true! If you hadn't..
Why you..!
Hold on, Basara.
You were doing nothing, just singing! If I hadn't attacked City Seven might
have been destroyed by now. If you'd really wanted to protect City Seven you
wouldn't have been singing songs!
Why do you think I'm singing, anyway!?
I don't know! But thanks to you I was able to fight all I wanted!
You!
Basara, calm down! It's not like you. Milene doesn't understand yet.
This is the trouble with kids!
Kids, kids, always! Rex is an adult. Seems like she's hurt. Why don't you go
see you in the hospital?
Huh? What are you talking about?
Go play cards or anything!
Have you really gone mad?
I know about you staying with Rex until morning!
Right.
Milene, wait. I was involved for one night, too.
Eh?
She said she wanted to really master the structures of the battloids, so
Basara and I were teaching her. So I know you were practicing until morning,
too. I heard it all night. It seems you exhausted Viffidas.
What are you thinking, anyway!
Well, then!
Well, then what!
Milene. I understand that you want to fight for everyone and defeat the
enemy. That might be one way, but wouldn't it be better if we didn't have to
fight to defeat the enemy? Right? You'll understand eventually.

Next episode

No way, the enemy soldiers are humans like us?!
My singing will help him get his memories back!
Gamlin, don't die!
Regain consciousness!
The music box on the battlefield.
Radically fire!
