01x11 - I Miss You

[bunniefuu]

Your sadness, pain, fear...

I'll carry it all.

I'll make sure neither you
nor anyone else has to cry anymore...

Tesla.

Did... Did you see that?!

Lord Vash the Stampede just tried
to k*ll a human of his own will!

I guess you've finally come around
after 150 years, Vash.

Lord Vash has felt tremendous pain, yes!

He has been cleansed of his sins
and is now ready

to stand alongside you as the new god
of the new world in the Eye of Michael—

Know your place.

Lord Knives?

Ah, now I can be reborn again.

Someone has to bring the fangs.
Otherwise, someone else pays in tears.

Tomorrow, humanity will
perish in the flames of hell,

and our paradise will be born.

Come. Let us write a new genesis together.

Nai, I...

I...

Needle-noggin has
no intention of helping you!

Too bad!

Millions Knives!

Wake up, Needle-noggin!

Focus on what's in front of you!

What's happened to Vash and the others?

I can't see from here.

But we have to trust them.

We have to do what we can as journalists.

Time to swiftly and bravely
infiltrate the Ark!

I've always wanted to try
riding a motorcycle!

Wait, M-Milly, what do you mean by "try"?

A gate round? That's cute.

Let's go, Vash.

This time, I'm going to stop the Big Fall.

Needle-noggin!

I... I thought I was dead.

Everything worked out!

Everyone—

Nai...

You did well.

I'm sure you have regrets.
But you don't need to see any more.

Vash, if reality is too hard
to swallow, you don't have to.

Sleep inside me.

Doctor, make for Octovern.

You want to help us, not Knives?

I came all the way out here
because you asked.

I'm ultimately not taking sides.

Then what gives?

This might wipe us all out as well.

I don't care what happens to the humans,
but I don't want to die yet.

So... you're off to Octovern, right?

Like this?

We can't get off?

You owe me one, Milly Thompson.

Vash...

Where have I heard this?

It's the same melody as the song
the orphanage kids were singing.

Right. That's where it's from.

Your wish will come true soon.

That kid!

Are your brethren happy?

They're happy, aren't they?

You're happy too, right, Lord Knives?

Your wish is coming true. I'm happy, too!

I'm happy.

Lord Knives...

He left Ninelives behind.

So I...

We really don't...

Is Vash okay?

I don't know, but...

What do we do if Vash's plan to rip
the plants away from Knives fails?

Knives won't k*ll Needle-noggin.
He wants to keep him close.

In that case, I'll still have a shot.

A shot?

He might try to synchronize with me.
Assimilate me like he tried in JuLai.

That'll be my opening.
I can then access Nai, too.

And I won't miss my chance.
I'll hold out until the bitter end.

Vash is fighting a fight where he won't
give up anything and won't stop trying.

So let's have faith in him.

Yes!

They're here.

Last of the Seven Cities
Octovern
Year 113, July 21st

Please don't give up!

The immigrant fleet
from Earth is almost here!

Stay together!
Despair is the only real end!

Let's all look up at the sky!

We know! We know the ships
of hope are about to—

Are those stars?

What...

Stars in the daytime?

Ships...

Help is here! Our hope!

We're saved!

Are we dreaming?

We're being rescued!

We're going to live!

No, that's...

That's the Ark!

Oh, no! It's all over!

We're doomed!

We're going to die!

Knives, we've reached Octovern as planned.

The immigrant fleet
is in stationary orbit as well.

The stage is now set.

Thus begins the end.

Just stay asleep, Vash.

By the time you wake, a paradise
for our brethren will be realized.

Vash, hurry!

Genesis... I will now begin
a new creation.

It's here!

Stop it!

Stop! What if you hurt the plants?

We have to stop it
or it'll steal them away!

It has begun.

He's forcibly turning all the plants
into Independents.

That means Lord Knives
accepts them as comrades, right?

What is it?

Intruders.

That journalist from back in JuLai?

When? How...

I wonder where Knives went.

Who are you?

Uh, we're...

B-Bernardelli...

Actually, I don't care.

Die.

Meryl!

Die.

Lord Knives!

You really do accept me
as a comrade after all!

Please come...

No...

Lord Knives...

This place...

Roberto...

Meryl!

You're lonely, you poor thing.
I feel so sorry for you.

You... feel sorry for me?

I'll make sure you don't
have to cry anymore.

I'll make sure you're no lonely no longer.

Who are you to...

The time has come.

Arise, my brethren.

What is this?

What? What's going on?

Now...

Be born!

What's happening?

Doctor.

Pardon us.

Nice to meet you!

You...

The plants are withering?

It seems Knives has failed.

But why?

He was lonely.

No matter how many plants he merged with,

no matter how much he told himself
they were his comrades,

Lord Knives didn't understand
how they felt at all.

He kept trying to talk to them,
playing the "Song of the Plants."

But he didn't understand
what they were thinking.

They are beings of a higher dimension.

Not even Knives could
comprehend them, I suppose.

The emotions he's carried for the past


He's been isolated...
And felt alone all this time.

Just like me.

Lord Knives, don't cry.

It's just you after all.

That's all I need in this world.

You and me, Vash.

I will return everything to nothing.

I will now enact
the Genesis Flood Big Fall!

Nai... I will stop you, no matter what.

Help.

Nai?

Help.

No... Who is that?

Help!

Rem? What is this?

It won't be long.

We've taken every measure possible
to support her life,

but this is the limit.

Tesla will die in the very near future.

Tesla? Is this Tesla's memory?

Inside of Nai? But how?

Therefore, I suggest we vivisect
Tesla before she expires.

We cannot lose this precious
sample of the future.

The answer to the mystery of life,

the key to the evolution
of mankind could be inside her.

However, some of you may not
see this as the right thing to do.

So if anyone objects...

We can just wait for her to pass in peace.

Rem... Why are you staying quiet?

Why aren't you objecting?

Rem...

Rem!

Good. Then we will begin the vivisection.

Why didn't you object, Rem?

And Nai knew? That she was a party
to dissecting Tesla?

About her sins?

Also, forget about Rem already.

That memory will only hurt you.

Nai never told me.

Why?

He didn't want to make me sad?
For me to be hurt?

I didn't know!

I didn't even try to understand.

I didn't know anything about Rem,
about what Nai was thinking...

Nothing.

Nothing! Nothing at all!

Help!

It hurts. I can't breathe. I'm scared.

Tesla...

Help! It hurts. I can't breathe.

I'm scared. It hurts. I can't breathe.

Help. It hurts.
I can't breathe. I'm scared.

Help. It hurts.
I can't breathe. I'm scared. Help.

Help. It hurts.
I can't breathe. I'm scared. Help.

Help. It hurts.
I can't breathe. I'm scared. Help.

Thank you.
