"Now that the season for roses to bloom has ended,
what meaning do the newly bloomed rose buds hold?
Yet the brilliance of this one late blooming flower...
is capable of permeating the world in a multitude of colors."
I was reminded of this poem at that time.
When I witnessed, with my own eyes, you riding the winds as if you were a heavenly horse galloping into the galaxy.
Darling...
Lucky and Barbie...
Congratulations. This way, you're finally free.
We won't forget about you guys...
Everyone was full of youth.
Admiral, you are truly legendary.
I feel honored to have been able to feel the same wind as you.
Farewell, Admiral.
Sleep peacefully.
Norbi, plot a course through where enemy fire is the least intense!
Wait.
Hizack, try to evade enemy fire for now!
Understood!
Is it impossible to shake them off?
We are at our limit!
Got it. In the two o'clock direction.
That's the only possible course to take.
Where?
The garbage dump planet.
I see.
If we go there, those fellows wouldn't dare approach.
Silua!
Yes, Sir!
Can't we just chase after Vetti's ship like this?
Impossible, impossible!
At the rate this guy is going, we wouldn't catch up with him even if we spent an eternity.
Ah well.
I know where that guy will go anyway.
But what should we do?
If we want to get our ship back, this big dumb thing is too obvious.
Our ammunition is nearly depleted as well.
Ah! We've received an encoded message.
The source is...
It's from the Holy Imperial Forces!
Can you decode it?
Hmm... Something something...
Emergency... reinforcements...
Gl...ass.. ship?
Creo!
Where are you taking me?
Where is father?
This way.
This is...
The connection with Courtador's Soleil is completed.
Can we control it from here?
There's still some interference.
Hurry.
If we take our time, Vetti will notice it.
Father.
Oh, Rachel. You've arrived.
That incident at the castle a few days back, what's going on?
Also, what is this place?
Yes... I think it's time I tell you everything.
The light and darkness of us, the Church of the Cross is stored here.
Light and darkness...
You should know the final destination stated in our scriptures.
Of course.
"When the various physical bodies of thee gathers together and passes through the darkness of the cross,
Thou shall attain an eternal galaxy."
Yes...
How is this linked to that?
The moment we've been waiting for has arrived.
The time for us to pass through the Black Cross and become eternal.
You should know it as well.
This galaxy is slowly being pulled into the Black Cross.
Yes.
However, the aristocrats are consumed with their control over the world.
They are concerned only for themselves, and have forgotten about the most sacred ideal of attaining the eternal galaxy.
We can't wait any more.
We have no choice but to use our own powers to head forth into the Black Cross.
Because of that, you made use of Courtador's Soleil...
Indeed. I can't leave it to Vetti any more.
Then at least discuss it...
If you tell him properly, Vetti-sama should understand.
We will be abandoned by him in the end.
Look.
This is...?
The sword of the last king, Magnus Corbeille.
Why is such a thing kept here...
I once used this sword to kill the king.
Magnus was unable to comprehend the sacredness of our ideas.
He planned to remove the Church of the Cross.
Someone had to do it after all.
I committed this severe sin.
Even now, I'm entangled in that sin.
However, this is all for the sake of the people.
The people...
Rachel, I'm leaving this sword with you.
Do you intend for me to take over your position and assume the responsibilities of being Pope?
That is the fate of you, who was born as my daughter.
However, this is also for the sake of your beloved Vetti.
For Vetti-sama...?
Have we lost them?
Wait a while.
Decoding the transmission.
The Holy Imperial Forces have once again appeared in front of us.
Seems like they won't let us off no matter what we try.
Evade at full speed!
Understood!
We are going to use the hidden technology possessed by the royal family to pierce through the enemy!
Silua, think of a way to escape from the enemy!
Yes, Sir.
You, the one I love, are piloting.
Thinking of you, I shall fire with all my might!
The coordination between the two of us is bad.
I'm sorry.
Calm down and correct our course.
Yes, Sir!
The glass ship has been taken down.
Open all gun ports and deliver the final volley to the enemy ship!
Fire!
The Holy Imperial Forces are being attacked.
Reinforcements?
Reinforcements? We shouldn't have any of that right now.
What happened?
I don't know. It seems that the attack is coming from behind the meteorite swarm.
What?
What a gigantic ship...
It looks like a ship belonging to the old royal family.
What are you saying?
A-Ah! That is....
I have definitely ridden in it before, it's Admiral Gawen's flagship!
And that daredevil way of attacking...
No, it's impossible. That guy should be dead.
There's a transmission from that gigantic ship.
My... wind... ride it...
Eimelle is there too! The two of them are all right!
I'll leave the rest to you.
Where are you going?
You need to ask? To my ship.
You sure are cunning! Bring me along!
Evading shots while performing emergency evasive actions, can only be done by you.
Ah!
Creo is coming!
Eh? How does he intend to get here?
H-Hey, Captain!
Creo!
Michel!
Creo!
Hey, hey! Fire at us!
Since we're a big target, it's easy to hit us!
Creo isn't done yet?!
Ah, what youth!
Hey!
Sorry to keep you waiting!
Creo!
Do without the greeting.
It's been a while since I've done this.
I'll leave it to you.
Break through the center of the enemy fleet.
Barret, turn power to max!
Right!
Norbi, tell Eimelle to act as bait at the center of the enemy fleet.
Understood.
Silua, follow path one, starboard side!
Yes, Sir.
Hizack, don't forget the present!
Understood!
I'm to act as bait?!
That bastard, he's making me do something ridiculous again.
However, the enemy only has three flagships left.
Port side ammunition is already depleted!
Same for our side.
Okay, leave it to me!
Sink that damaged ship first.
All ships, bring that ship into our crossfire point!
Aim for the heart.
I was waiting for that! It's been a while!
Confirming Soleil's position.
Silua!
It'll be all right. I'll complete it perfectly.
Checkmate!
Take this!
Changing mode!
Silua.
Yes, Sir?
Have confidence in yourself.
Yes, Sir!
That's right...
Once we reach the Black Cross and attain the eternal galaxy,
Vetti-sama's heart might change.
Hurry up and come back, Vetti-sama.
"The box that created the two-headed eagle is sleeping within the child of the stars.
It shall awaken again when there are things for it to seek out"?
Yes, that was what Guilty-sama said.
That's why I'll search for the box of the stars, for Vetti-sama's sake.
I'll be looking forward to it.
Okay.
Also, I just thought of something else that's tied to the prophecy.
Hmm?
You said that the god of love is Rachel, but I don't think that's right.
Oh? Then who do you think that is?
That...
Probably... That...
Vetti-sama, it's finished. I...!
Vetti-sama, it's finished.
As expected, the sword wound you received a few days back has completely healed up.
As expected?
Yes. The same happened to that man named Creo.
Due to the influence of the Soleil in the body, the bearer is granted astonishing regenerative powers.
I see... Indeed you are the one...
Huh?
The one that can fill this piercing loneliness inside my heart.
I am definitely going to defeat you and completely conquer you.
Creo!
Eimelle!
Norbi!
This guy sure is energetic!
I'm happy...
Huh? Glasses...
You're still the same. Huh? Glasses...
You're still the same.
Huh? Where are they... You're still the same.
Huh? Where are they...
Same goes for you!
Youth!
Glasses...
These guys here are people we picked up from the garbage dump planet.
They're going to be working with us.
By the way, who was the one that piloted this ship?
Me.
Silua did? You really did the "Heart Pierce" at such a critical time?
I'm not lying! Everyone can be my witness.
You nearly veered off target and caused a big explosion.
It's not bad for a first attempt.
What? You want a contest?
Fine by me.
All right, let's determine who is superior right now!
All right! All right, let's determine who is superior right now!
All right!
You think you're the only one who can do it?
Thanks. You think you're the only one who can do it?
What?!
You got my ship back.
There's one other thing I need to return to you.
Huh?
Hmph!
Thanks.
You've changed slightly.
Is that so?
Welcome back.
You're still awake?
It's a wife's duty to wait for the return of her husband.
I'm tired today.
Go to another room to rest.
Another room?
Why should I, who have exchanged vows with you, do that...?
Then I'll get out.
Please wait. I have something to talk to you about.
How this galaxy is going to progress.
I'm sorry to disturb you when you're tired.
I don't mind, what is it?
According to our reports, the glass ship and Gawen's gigantic battleship have entered Bardore.
That's obvious.
Yes.
It's still doubtful whether B.B will assist them,
but it's obvious what their sole objective is.
To rebuild the People's Army once again.
There's no need to wait for B.B to make a decision.
It doesn't matter whether or not that old hag escaped to the furthest ends of the galaxy and is thinking of revolting.
All who go against us shall pay for it.
I feel the same, and thus have activated the Special Operatives Department
Your Excellency, it's a pleasure to meet you.
I am Urugu Zane.
Michel-sama... Thank god... Thank god you're okay!
I'm happy too, Michel.
I made you worry.
Ah, you guys as well.
Somehow I feel that we are just accessories.
Anyway, how's the negotiation with B.B?
She's as stubborn as ever.
It's hard to make her accept our request.
That's natural, since I have to take into consideration the people on my territory ship.
Ah, you seem to be well.
It's been a while, boy of the wind.
Actually, there's something I want to tell you.
We humans came from another galaxy?
Yes, and this galaxy is going to be destroyed soon.
It's going to be sucked into the Black Cross.
You are still the same, saying such interesting things.
You are free to believe it or not.
How can you expect anyone to believe that?
According to the Church of the Cross, humans will attain an eternal galaxy after entering the Black Cross.
Indeed.
Those are just lies.
Then, what do you intend to do, Creo?
We are out of time.
I shall conquer the heavens and say goodbye to this galaxy.
Eh?
Of course, I don't intend on entering the Black Cross.
I'm going to help everyone escape this galaxy.
In order to do that, it's all right to abandon the revival of the royal family.
Creo, if that's true...
You sure are starting to behave like a man, boy.
Now, what should I do?
It's simple.
Ride my wind.
You are indeed still...
the savior.
The shadow of the silent assassin that's approaching...
The whispering that makes the savior's heart waver is...
Next time on Glass Fleet: Like the fatal flaw...
The revolution of the galaxy... shall be revived.
